Hi everyone,

street party meeting on Tuesday. Please find notes from the meeting below.
The next meeting will be on Tuesday 23rd April at 8pm in The Coppermill. If
you put your name down to help out on the bar, on any other activity (on the

Have a great Easter break,
Nicky

someone owned these already! If we can find the stocks, Roy to organise

way to get number of entrants up this year?
