About Us

The meetings are held in the Parish Room at Balne and the date of the next meeting is posted on the Meetings Page. Local residents of the parish are warmly welcome to attend any of the meetings. If you'd like to raise something but cannot join us, please feel free to get in touch to request a discussion.
