August / September 1999

Village Hall Committee

Cllr Moseley reported a recent meeting which had discussed proposals for the 800th Reach Fair next May

Millennium Committee

Cllr Aves told the PC that a grant of £3,900 had been received from ECDC. As the committee had asked for £9000 this was a little disappointing as there would not be enough money to finance the proposed book about Reach. It was hoped to find other sources to fill the short-fall. The design on the mugs for the children was to be altered slightly.

Matters arising

Amendments had been received for the Planning Permission for Dr and Mrs Webb of Swaffham Road.

Correspondence

Two letters had been received from residents of The Hythe who were not happy with the recent work carried out by Highways to improve the state of the verge damaged by sewerage lorries. It was agreed to have a site visit before commenting further. The City Council were happy to postpone the Reach Fair commemorative visit
by The Major until May 2001. Tony Jordan had written on behalf of the Village Hall Committee to ask permission for the use of the playing field. It was agreed that com on sense should prevail; if it should be wet mats must be used for vehicles to drive on, and any damage incurred should be repaired at the expense of the VHC.

COST REACH MILLENIUM BOOK

 The good news is that all is going well editorially, the bad news is the cost. We were hoping to obtain a considerable grant from the Millennium committee but that has not happened. It was unfortunate that a cost was circulated before the grant amounts were confirmed and that no final decision had been made regarding the book size and content. It is hoped this will be resolved shortly but not before publication of Out of Reach. To villagers who have paid in advance apologies from the committee, the book will cost considerably more than quoted, but will be worth every penny you pay. All being well everything will be sorted out too publish in the next issue of Out of Reach.
