Art Competition deadline extended

It seems that most of our young artists have been very busy with school work and haven’t had time to create any entries for the My Mortimer art competition as we have received incredibly few. As a reminder there are 3 categories: Years F- 2, Years 3- 6 and Years 7-13. The intention is to give a £50 cash prize in each category but also to present other, smaller cash prizes depending on the number of entries received. All the details are in the Spring 2024 Parish Council newsletter on page 8, https://www.stratfield-mortimer.gov.uk/the-council/newsletters

Access to the system is strictly controlled by the Parish Clerk but, if needed, other services, including the police, can request access to the recordings.

Garth Hall Update

Members of the parish council met on Thursday 29 February with representatives from the Royal British Legion to discuss progress regarding the potential transfer of the trust relating to, or the disposal of, Garth Club (aka Garth Hall).  Following the formal notice published in October last year, the Legion received four indications of interest in relation to the building, of which two potentially satisfied the initial criteria sufficiently to be discussed at the meeting.
