VILLAGE SOCIETY COMMITTEE NEXT MEETING 16 MARCH

With enough members, each one will not have an onerous number of tasks and we still need a few more to make its operation more viable. Please join us and enjoy being part of a committed community group. |

meriel mills
We regret to announce that, after a long illness, Meriel Mills died on the morning of Tuesday 7 January. Being a devoted couple, despite her weakened condition, she was resolute in visiting her husband, Bob, who was in hospital for over two weeks, until a short while before she died. Bob is now recovering at home.
Meriel was a stalwart support for Bob when he was Membership Secretary of the Village Society Committee from 2007-2017. Together they worked to set up Road Contacts throughout the village area and increased membership from 40 to nearly 650.
Meriel will be sadly missed by her family and all who knew her.
