The Link, April 2007, Volume 2007

The Parish Assembly will be held this year at St Paul’s School Hall, Brookhouse on Thursday 26th April at 7.30. This is your opportunity to have your say about what you want for the Village, so do please come along. The Chairman will give a report and we will have a item on the new web site and on our proposal to Twin with the Village of Socx in northern France.

We are entering Caton and Brookhouse into the Best Kept Village Competition again this year. The Villages are judged on cleanliness and lack of weeds and rubbish. The judging takes place between June and July but we don’t know when they might visit so we must make every effort to make the place look spick and span, not just for the judges but for ourselves as well !

A plea for all dog owners to clear up their dog’s mess after them !

www.catonvillage.org.uk - That’s the web address and if you are on line why not make it your home page; it’s full of information about the village and what’s going on in it. If you’re involved in a club, check what’s going on or you can use it to publicise your events.

Thank you all for turning out to our recent speaker meetings - we are playing to packed houses these days. Must be the convivial atmosphere and value for money!

A subsidised trip to Levens Hall for currently registered paid-up members is to be held on Sunday 13 May. Please let Graham (770919) know asap if you are interested.

Caton W.I. had their very own Antiques Road Show on March 1st at the Victoria Institute.

There will be a trip to Skipton on WEDNESDAY 25th April, leaving at 12.30pm from the Victoria Institute, return approximately 6.00pm. First pick-up will be Brookhouse this time. Please be sure to book your seats with your representative.

There will be one coach only for all outings, very sorry, but there will be no refunds.

Enquiries:- Joan Fletcher. Tel: 771232.

Our last meeting before the trips start in May will be held on Thursday April 19th. We hope to welcome Mr Philip Sculby with a slide show entitled ‘Impressions of China’. Our meetings are held in the Victoria Institute and commence at 2.15pm.

We have the usual raffle and cup of tea.
