Annual Parish Forum, Saturday April 25th, 10.30 am at
Long Itchington Community Centre

This annual meeting is an opportunity for residents to meet with one another and with parish councillors in a more informal setting. There will be a short presentation about the work the Council does and how it is funded. Also, the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions.

Village organisations will have stands showing the work of their group.

Very importantly, this is an occasion when we celebrate the contribution which individual residents - parish champions - have made to our parish. And we can celebrate and and thank them formally.

Doors open at 10.00 am, when refreshments will be served.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
