On Tuesday 16th April 2024, we held our Annual General Meeting in the Village Hall. We were delighted that so many people joined us!

The evening began with the brief presentations covering FGA activities over the last year, a financial report and an update on the allotments by Steve, Rebecca and Rachel, respectively,  followed by the election of officers for the upcoming year.

We then moved to the highlight of our meeting, a talk by our guest speaker David Short, entitled “My Life Behind Bars”.  David regaled us with entertaining anecdotes from his family’s landlordship of the Queen’s Head pub in Newton since 1962 intertwined with a potted history of pubs, covering the social function of pubs in village life, the history of beer and the changes he has observed in the industry over the last 60 years. It was a wonderful evening, enjoyed by everyone. Many thanks to David for giving such as wonderful talk and the free samples of gin!

Minutes of the 2024 AGM will be available here soon.
