4. Questionnaire Input:

IM to call Jenny Moss who has offered to help input the questionnaire data. Committee to ask Caroline Sibbald if she is able to help with inputting data. LG has disks and is to give to RT. RT offered to input at least 10 questionnaires. Deadline for input is the end of March. For the analysing of Data IM said that Yvette Courtney had expressed an interest in helping with this and that the group should contact her after she returns from her holiday. RT commented that the analysing will need a lot of meetings to decide how we are to interpret the data.

 

5. Chedworth Business Club:

RT informed the group the first meeting was taking place on the 5th April 2007.This meeting would be used to gather information on what business there are in the Parish and how they  can collaborate with each other. From this they are hoping to create a group that meet regularly. LG and RT to arrange a separate meeting to plan for the 5th April. Stuart Lewis to attend Business Club to whip up advertising for the Hill and Valley Magazine.  IM to email Business List that the CPPSG have already created to RT and LG.

 

6. Calor Gas Village of the Year Competition:

The committee decided that we should enter the Calor Gas Village of the Year competition this year. Susie Moore helped a lot with last years entrance which was very successful. The committee agreed that it would be a good idea to do a joint Parish Plan and Parish Council entry. Letter to be written to Susie Moore to ask her if you would be able to help co-ordinate a joint application to benefit the whole parish.   A copy of Hill and Valley is to be sent with application. LG to tell Stuart Lewis the editor.

7. Youth Council

LG to make a flyer to pass on to RT. RT and LG to give to interested parties. RT to speak to Irene Catten with the flyer and ask her if she wants to be involved with youth events. IM to contact Howard Westlake once we have some volunteers to see if he would be interested in help from Youth Council for funding for the new play equipment he is planning.

 

8. Fundraising

IM suggested, as had been discussed via email, the following:

 

Our objective as PP steering group is to complete the plan, motivate and facilitate groups to work on projects who in turn will seek funding for individual projects. If we can generate a pool of funds that the groups can use to seed their operation when that would be great but it is not essential for us to do this. We need money for the actual publication/publicizing of the plan when it’s complete and we may need more help in getting the data entered and processed/analyzed.

 

The group agreed with IMs suggestion.

 

9. Committee

IM to check the minutes to see who we had wanted to ask from the Chedworth Society to join the committee. ALT only to come to meetings for the time being as she is tied up with studies.

 

10. Clubs and Society:

There is a Parish meeting of Clubs and Society on 12th March 2007 at 7.30pm where they will be giving their annual reports. RT, and LG to attend to see if we can make contacts to help with the Parish Plan.

LG and SM updated website with the latest Hill and Valley article.
