District Councillor’s Report: Mrs Neill reported that Shaw House has now been opened to the public.
Parish conference took place last week. Mr Disson, Mrs Rusbridge, and Mrs Berry had attended but did not feel that the matters discussed were particularly interesting or relevant.

Village Hall - A flier had been sent to all village residents asking for volunteers to help run the hall, but unfortunately only one person expressed an interest. Mr Lombardo volunteered to personally contact all residents of Birds Lane to see if anyone felt able to help. Mrs Rusbridge had attended the Village Hall conference and reported that other villages seem to make more use their halls and she felt that some people may be reluctant to get involved due to the increasing number of regulations surrounding risk assessments and health and safety matters. It may be necessary to employ someone to clean the hall between lettings.

Meeting with Dr Markham – Mr Disson circulated a suggested draft of a response to Dr Markham’s complaint. The document was discussed and formally adopted. Councillors noted that there is a difference between comments made by a Parish Council, and comments made by an individual on their own behalf.

Allotments – Clerk had received two enquiries about allotments and had referred the applicants to Woolhampton, who had advised them that they only consider Woolhampton residents. On further investigation, it seems that following a boundary review in 1991, the parish boundary was moved, and Woolhampton Village Hall and the allotments which used to be in Midgham, were ceded to Woolhampton. Clerk to write to Woolhampton parish to check on what arrangements were put in place at that time to ensure that some of the allotments could remain available, and to see if any new allotments could be created west of the current ones.

Cards are dealt face-up, outcomes time is kept to a minimal and each game spherical is accomplished in a suspense-packed 27 seconds. With a total of 7 or less the 우리카지노 energetic participant has to resolve whether to ask for a third card by saying 'carte' or to call 'pas de carte' or 'non' to play with just the original two cards. The banker deals one first card face down to down to} the energetic participant, then one to the banker, then a second card to the energetic participant and a second card to the banker. In case of a tie, the participant's stakes are returned and the banker could proceed banking with the identical financial institution.
