Welcome JF introduced and welcomed everyone
to the meeting. Pat Lister said she was also representing Anne Gerty and
would report back to her the events of the evening. The idea for a Garden
Trail was to try and involve the community in a joint event whilst raising
funds for the Marie Curie Nurses. Those present were asked who would be opening
their gardens; Glynis Storer said that as they were in the middle of some
major building work she would join the scheme next year. Anne Tribble said they were planning to
move from the area but if they were still in residence their garden would be ‘open’. Val Mathers, 75 Main Road Kate and Brian Clark, 85 Main Road Pat Lister, 87 Main Road Anne Gerty, 89 Main Road Janet Raymond, 132 Main Road Anne Tribble, 137 Main Road (if they
were still in residence) Josie and Alan Foster, 3 Vernon
Avenue It was mentioned that if anyone else
volunteered or could be persuaded to join there was no time limit to entering
the event. |

Advertising DB had several ideas for advertising
and volunteered to take responsibility for organising the advertising with
the Evening Post, etc and for placing on the web site. Roger Steel (absent)
has offered to obtain Marie Curie literature, stickers and balloons and JF
would contact him to see if posters were also supplied, if not DB would print
the posters. Several suggested areas for
advertising posters to be placed, such as the Community Notice Boards, the libraries,
in Wilford, West Bridgford and Ruddington and various local shops. |

Insurance Pat Lister had made enquiries about
how we stood with regard to Insurance, and together with information received
from Brian Hardy (absent) the following was ascertained. PL handed a
telephone number of someone who had previously organised a garden trail at Willoughby
on the Wolds and JF said she would contact her for any tips that may be
helpful in our venture. Providing we ask for a donation
rather than making a fixed charge we are covered on our normal household
insurance. AF said he would telephone
his insurers to confirm the position. |

Sales
Stall/Plant Stall KC/BC and PL offered to have a book
stall, VM would have a bric-a-brac table and perhaps some plants, JF a
bric-a-brac and cake stall. Pete (a member of the Allotment Association)
has offered to make hanging baskets for us to sell, (we would have to buy
them in the first instance at cost). JF would contact him to see if he would
have them on a sale/return basis. JF asked DB if it would be in order for the
Association to fund the purchase of these items. However, If Pete wished to
have his own stall then JR would accommodate him in her garden and there
would be no outlay as Pete would be responsible for his own expenses but would
make a donation towards Marie Curie Nurses. JR to look into the possibility of
using the tables from the Church Hall. |
