Minute 26 Public Representations
Representatives from SWS Football attended the meeting to give a report on the 5 week football camp, which was partly funded by the Parish Council. The camp ran 4 days a week at Rycroft Leisure and attendance was excellent, partly due to the subsidised cost.
It was noted that there had been a reduction in ASB over the holidays, which could be partly attributed to the Summer Camp. The Chairman, Cllr Stockhill, agreed to use his allowance to partly fund the October Half-Term Football Camp.
