Cllr Marsh suggested the speaker for next Annual Parish Meeting could be the local Dogs Trust on Dog Training.

Chairman (Mrs Madocks Wright) asked PC might consider donation to the Church. VC (Mr Lomas) stated it has always been the policy of PC not to do so with any charity or church as it might set a precedent. Mr Easom agreed. Cllr Marsh said that he supported the idea by Chair.

Chairman (Mrs Madocks Wright) asked PC might consider an equal number of meetings arranged between Saxelbye and Grimston. Cllr Easom disagreed on the basis that apart from today, generally we don’t have public attend Saxelbye but they do attend Grimston. Also, Saxelbye is not conducive in winter months due to the cold.
