Good afternoon everyone,
I hope you are all well and looking forward to a little more freedom in the coming months, with the vaccine program offering optimism for us all.
Thanks to everyone who attended our zoom meeting, I appreciate zoom is not the most invigorating way of communicating, but it keeps us informed and engaged, which is very important for our wellbeing...
Finances: Mary Megarry our Village Hall Treasurer is progressing the opening of a Bank account for LGG and under the umbrella of LVH accounts, more information to follow. Also, the maintenance money from ACC has been transferred over to LVH and will then be moved across to LGG account, many thanks to Mary and ACC for arranging this for us.
Well done to Trish for a really interesting and thought provoking talk on the "No Dig" concept, which we all enjoyed, it's not easy giving a presentation in front of a live audience, but doing this on line without the usual live audience participation is a challenge. Thanks Trish.
With regard to the maintenance of community areas, could you please lend a hand at the Old School Garden on Friday the 21st of May at 6pm for as much time as you can spare please. Also if you would like to go along and rake paths, weed around flower beds, paint the gates at the OSG or Claypits, then please do so at any time you wish.
After all, every little helps make these areas more interesting and pleasing for all our community.
As far as the tree planting at Stanwell, we are awaiting confirmation from Amroth Community Council regarding the purchase of the trees.
Thanks to Pauline, Sue and Bev from ACC for attending a meeting to discuss a Pollinator Project with Chris Taylor {Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Warden}, more information to follow at our next zoom meeting from Pauline and Sue.

Kind regards,
Roy
