Three members of the Village over 50?s club attended the Parish Council meeting. They attended the meeting to request that the PC gave financial support towards the running of the over 50?s club. The PC explained that they would not be able to give financial support to the group as there are many groups being run in the village and it would be impossible to help them all financially.
