From Frances Hall, Community Regeneration Officer (South):

As we have Rural Broadband on the agenda for our next Local Joint Committee (LJC) 19 meeting on 17 March and Ian Binks, Partnership Manager from British Telecom, has kindly agreed to come to answer your questions, I’m hoping we will get a good turnout.  Consequently, rather than hold it at Edgton Village Hall this time, which could be difficult to get to if the weather takes a turn for the worse, we have instead booked the theatre at SpArc.  The meeting will start at 7pm.

We hope to go to Edgton Village Hall for our next meeting in May/June.
Thanks
Frances Hall

Please find attached EOI and Guidance Notes for the 2010/11 round of the Sustainable Development Fund.  Do read the Guidance Notes carefully as the criteria for funding are very specific.  If you are interested in this fund you must first contact Cath Landles at the AONB before submitting an EOI.

Please also note the following:

* SDF has been considerably reduced for 2010-11, so competition for funds is high.
* Priority will be given to first time applicants, projects from the eastern side of the AONB, projects that meet SDF and AONB Management Plan priorities  and the sustainable development criteria.
* Grants range from £1,000 – £5,000.
* If you are invited to full application, the deadline for submitting your completed application is March 10th 2010.
* The SDF panel will meet on March 24th to consider and award grants.

There was a good turn out for the Clunton Scrumpers Ceilidh at the Village Hall last Saturday. Good food, music and company and enthusiastic dancing made it a most enjoyable evening. Folks came from as far as Newcastle (on Clun) and Angela sent the following comment:-

“What a warm and friendly time the Newcastle crowd had with you at the Ceilidh on Saturday evening. The musicians entertained us for three hours with lovely melodic music at a pace that even the most amateur ceilidh dancers could cope with. Well done.
The ploughman’s supper was delicious and the desserts scrumptious. We thoroughly enjoyed your company and look forward to revisiting on many more occasions.
Thank you to everyone who shared the evening with us and made us so welcome.”

Local broadband provision

Message from Frances Hall our local Community Regeneration Officer-

“Broadband provision in our area is going to be discussed at our Local Joint Committee (LJC) 19 meeting in Edgton Village Hall on 17 March (starts 7pm).  A representative from British Telecom will be coming to the meeting so please put this date in your diary and make sure you come along to find out what, if anything, we can get BT to do to improve the service.”


Clunbury Under 5s have been awarded £345 by the Local Joint Committee to help run Village Street Dancers sessions after school on Tuesdays culminating in an end of term Song and Dance Concert for the village.

Sun at Clun closes (again)

The Sun at Clun has closed (again). Seems Clun just can’t support two pubs any longer, at least while one of them is owned by a pubco that charges the landlord too high a rent.  It’s a shame but, on the bright side, perhaps there will be  more business for our two pubs in the Parish.
