May 2020 Record of Remote Meetings / Discussions and Decisions
Cllr Stone forwarded and email to be sent with the e-voices as follows:
Preparations for the Yarcombe VE75 Day commemorations on the eighth of May had started to take shape when lockdown came into force. With the continuing restrictions, the current suggestion is that families hold a picnic in their front gardens at 3pm, raise a glass at 6pm and take part in a national singalong of ‘We’ll Meet Again’ at 9pm
Whatever your ideas are for Friday, l hope everyone stays safe, enjoys the day and the occasion, whilst also looking forward to the time the community can get together again to make up for all the events and gatherings that have been cancelled.
As well as commemorating what was a momentous day for everyone in 1945, our thoughts should also include a very special thank you to everyone who volunteered, helped and are continuing to work for the benefit of our community and their friends and neighbours.
Stay safe

Decisions on Insurance Renewal:
Agreement received in April to roll the above asset values forward and renew the Insurance if it comes in at less than £200.00. Any higher I will revert – the increase to £200 is to cover the Yarcombe defibrillator which they agreed to add on for free until the end of the year.
The Marsh defibrillator was not installed before the lock-down and Sandra Newton will let me know as soon as it is so we can add it to our policy.
