ii) Additional name to be added to The War Memorial in the form of a separate stone plaque. Gill Humphreys to investigate.

iii) Purchase of spare toners for the Laser Printer.

6) Next Publication

: Jim Hall proposed the next substantial publication would be “The Life and Times of F.C.Dawson School Teacher of Appleton le Moors 1841-43”. Villagers would be asked to read Mr Dawson’s substantial diary and chose items to expand on for example “The Love Feast”, “Transport” or locations frequently mentioned such as “Yoadwath”.

To avoid the pressure of time constraints experience in producing the previous three books the intention will be to have this one in final draft form before looking for grant funding. If funding was difficult to obtain the Group would consider “self funding”
