Parking
- Please be considerate if you are parking in the village. There are no parking restrictions on the main road through the village but please ensure you don't block any driveways. It's often easier to park closer to the village entrance than it is further down into the village. Also, please do not park on New Road (the bumpy road). Thank you.

Governance
To ensure that all if fair and transparent, Clive Brazier will provide 'independent financial oversight'. He'll check income and expenditure and verify the numbers. Thanks Clive.
Costs and charitable donations
We always aim to make donations to local charities from the proceeds of the weekend and have been delighted to have raised many thousands of pounds for good causes in previous years. Please be aware, however, that this year the cost of securing the village hall has risen sharply, so we may not be able to donate quite as much as in previous years. Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you
