The Forbesdale P and C held its ordinary monthly meeting on Wednesday evening 29th July with satisfactory attendance. The president Mr G Robinson led discussions including repairs to a broken finger board at the Lower Waukivory Road junction near the school and requests to replace flood-washed filling near Avon Bridge. Protests against proposed school vacation changes were recorded and deferred. Dairy farmer candidate item and upcoming events including a Tuesday dance and Thursday musical festival at Mr Crean’s and Newcastle/G Gloucester artists were noted, with emphasis on support for Miss Atkins.
