She also thanked Joan for coming along to take the minutes.
3. Finance:

Rick requested a vice chair and Keith Robinson agreed to this position. These positions were all agreed unanimously by a show of hands.
6. Parish Representatives to Village Hall Committee.
It was explained that the Parish nominated three people to be on the village hall committee and asked if there was anyone who would like to be a village hall trustee.
Nobody came forward but there is no time limit, and volunteers can come forward at any time and asked that interested parties get in touch with the new Parish Meeting Committee.
As the new Parish Chair, Rick Crust thanked everyone for their support and said that he hoped that projects could soon be considered.
The meeting closed at 7.30pm.
