Just a note to say welcome to all newcomers to the village.

If you wish to get involved in village affairs, the parish council meets every third Monday in the month at 7.30pm in the small room of the Village Hall and this might be a good place to get the feel of the village and it’s life.

All members of the public are made to feel welcome and are given the chance to have a say at the beginning of each meeting. There is also the village noticeboard at the Village Hall with a list of voluntary/interest groups, their contact details and upcoming events.
