At the Annual Parish Council Meeting in May I was elected Chairman and Richard Terry was elected as Vice Chairman. There were some changes to sub-committees which will be shown in the Parish Council list. (See p19 Ed)

We have a fine new Parish Council Notice Board at the Thursley Road Recreation Ground which we hope that all the village clubs and organisations will find useful.

We have new bench seats at both recreation grounds and the cemetery, built by Tony Cheeseman our village handyman - meeting many requests for more seating over recent years.

I know of only one volunteer for the Community Speed Watch Scheme which I wrote about in the May issue. This is surprising when we receive so many comments about cars speeding through the village. If you want to know more please contact me on 01252 702285 or PC Andy Crane on 0845 125 2222.

After a site meeting The Parish Council has agreed that Elstead Tennis Club can proceed with an application for two more tennis courts to meet their expanding membership.

PARISH WALK:  There will be a Parish walk on Saturday 15^th July starting at 10.00 am from the Village Green and lasting about two hours. Come along and explore our paths - you may find some you don't know !
