4. Chedworth Business Club:

25 different businesses were represented at the first meeting with 35 people attending. At the end of the meeting all attendees filled out a basic survey asking if they wanted more meetings and they all said yes. There was good feedback and the attendees felt it was worth while and a great opportunity for networking. They did not want the meetings to be high pressured, they wanted topics for each meeting and meetings to take place every other month.  There was also good feedback by email with a volunteer to do a talk at one of the meetings.  RT and LG said from the next meeting they would aim to find someone else to run the meetings. There list of Parish based businesses is now over 100. £45 pounds towards the meeting was donated by Key 4 Learning and the other £45 came from the Parish Plan fund.   The next meeting date to be still to be arranged.

9. Printing of Parish Plan

LG got the costings from Stuart Lewis as to a price for printing a Hill and Valley Parish Plan special:

5p per copy + 4p per A4 double page which gives an approximation of 8 x 4 = 32 +5 = 37p per copy.

With approximately 300 houses in the parish this would cost £111 in total.
