We had a record number of "observing" visitors to the last Parish Council meeting with 8 being present. It is good that people are taking an interest, but we can't manage many more in the meeting room! However, one of those present was Mr. Jon Oliver, who was invited to speak during discussion on the Low Caythorpe Gas project. As a result of his evident knowledge of the subject, and ensuing discussion, the Parish Council has somewhat changed its viewpoint. From "generally supportive" it has gone to "deeply suspicious".

It goes by the lengthy title of Self Defence Action for Equality Training Co. Ltd. with an address in Hull, but a poster advertises "at a venue near you", so maybe they will organise something locally. Anyway, the phone/fax number is 01482 707750 and e-mail www.safewomenstraining.co.uk. I kid you not - the letter is from a Development Officer called Penelope Penny!
Back to posters a moment. As mentioned before, village notices take precedence over "outside" events, and because of more than usual of
