FEEDBACK ON PARISH NOTES

Following on from the feedback on the parish notes it appears people would like to see more local news. They want the times and dates of upcoming events, matches etc. But unless we receive the news from the various clubs and committees we cannot print them. So we invite all the clubs to send in their news and we will do our best to include them in the parish notes every week.
