Second Youth Projects Meeting. 15th March 
This meeting was again well attended by interested parties, including some youngsters. Again several points were discussed in depth, the input from the youngsters present being most welcome.

The committee has been very busy researching into the design, manufacture, availability and cost of the different types of skate boarding ramps available. Also considerable research effort has been put into the availability of grants & funds to pay for the costs of purchase and installation.
Much thought must also be given as to the best location for the equipment (should we be able to afford the costs involved) With the existing evening problems on Horses Meadow (as highlighted in previous newsletters) will this be the best location for a ramp? Would it not perhaps go behind the Memorial Hall, or on the small green behind the houses between Gladstone Rd & Founcely Avenue, perhaps on one of the existing pieces of common land in the Parish, even on the large area of common land hopefully to be bought back into the control of the Parish? It must all be discussed in depth with all interested parties.

We have kept a list off the ‘e-mail’ addresses of all those adults who turned up, we will keep in contact with regular e-mails, if you would like to be added to this list please contact me at metcalf.mouldings@virgin.net. Or let me have your address and we will use Royal Mail, the best conventional postal service in the world.
