COMMENT
I was a little surprised at the item a couple of issues ago about the (non) Village Show! It said that as none of the
committee members felt able to take on leadership of organising it, the show would have to be cancelled. It
would have been nice to include in the article an invitation to anyone else interested to get involved. There’s a
whole village full of people here and there may well have been someone able to take on the ‘challenge’.
I wonder if this was considered at the last committee meeting? Carol Harris
