    • We are all responsible for our own rubbish and please dispose of it properly without dumping it elsewhere on the site.
    • We have had reports of produce being stolen – please can we be vigilant for strangers on the sites.

9.    AOB:
  • The siting of next year’s annual bonfire on Lower Penns road was discussed as there are no available plots to start building up the wood. The position is to be monitored. It was thought that all sites could be tidied and where possible, rubbish burned as there should not be any surplus metalwork on site now. Burning rubbish would of course avoid the need to hire a skip and thus no costs would be incurred. It was stressed that the wind conditions must be right so as to avoid any complaints from neighbours.
  • The AGM will be held next month  - please could any items to be discussed be emailed or passed to the secretary or a committee member at least 7 days prior to the meeting.

10.    Date of next meeting (AGM):
  • To be held on Monday 4 October at 7.30 pm at the RAOB Club (sec will be unable to attend – sends apologies).
