North Town Field – Call for new trustees

trusteeThe Trustees of the North Town Field Trust wish to appoint three new trustees. This will be done by a vote of the villagers at the village Annual Parish Meeting on Thursday May 14th 2015. We are looking for people who want to be actively involved in the hands-on organisation of looking after the field.

Any resident of Fulking may nominate a person living within 5 miles of Fulking village hall to become a trustee subject to having that person’s agreement to be nominated.

In the event of more than three people being nominated then the appointees will be decided by written ballot. A majority of villagers present at the meeting must vote in in favour of the appointments.

Please send any such nominations to John Hazard, the Trust Secretary, at Laurel House in The Street or by email to john@hazzy.net. By May 12th latest please.
