Since the previous report to the Parish Council in November 2022 the following events have taken place:-

       i. Planting of an English Royal Oak Tree on the village playing field.

       ii. Placing of plaques for the oak tree and the Queen’s Jubilee Garden.

       iii. Production of 3 photographic collages for:-

  •            the Village Hall – the Parish Council to approve.
  •            Viking Centre 
  •            St Mary’s Church

The cost for each of the 3 collages has yet to be finally determined but will be approximately £41 incl VAT (£20.46 for the collage 50cmx75cm and £20.40 for the frame).
