Amongst things discussed at the September meeting
with PC Powell were the problems with traffic and the great concerns
about Nocton
Hall and the hospital site.
The
investigation into the village hall subsidence
problem continues.
Sadly Ms
Yarwood-Paintal has resigned leaving a
vacancy. A NKDC notice of this has been
displayed and if there is no call for an election a new member will be
co-opted.
Cllr Overton
gave a County Council update.
The next
meeting is on Tuesday 4th October
at 7 pm
in the village hall.
Harvest
Thanksgiving was a good success. Over 50
attended both the service and the
supper and £130 was raised for church funds. Many thanks to our ladies
who
worked hard to both ‘dress’ the church for the occasion and provide the
catering.,
including local stuffed chine and haslet.
The
Art
Exhibiton presented by Cliff Baxendale and the Art Group revealed a
huge
amount of hidden talent – well done to all concerned!
Cycle Ride Thank you
to those who manned the church on September 10th and also to
the
Eagle family who cycled for Nocton Church and the Old Churches Trust.
The Organ Recital has been postponed until the
