Bit of a Puzzle

I enjoyed the Gala, the weather was great, plenty of stalls to spend on and plenty for children, which is what it's all about.  I would think that a nice profit has been made for the charitable causes because the turnout was fabulous for a village event.  Well organised as well.

There was a stall for the Victoria Institute, friends or whatever, but what puzzled me was the fact that there was a trustee also on the stall.  What doing, didn't get close enough, or want to, but surely there is a conflict of interest here.  Undoubtedly  they were flogging a dead horse but why if the majority of public opinion is against.

Parish Council stall, where was that, no sign of our Beckingham councillor, other than in the bar and looking decidedly untidy.

What's all this with the old Library as well?  Another demolition job as far as I'm concerned but then certain people seem to have other ideas.  Now that would be costly, both to purchase and then give it a massive facelift internally and externally.

Looking at the Parish Magazine and parish council brief piece,  there appears to be a bit of a disagreement regarding the supposed S 106 agreement with Langley relating to the houses and the sports field, giving up the front piece to Langley.  I'm told legal advice at the time, both from Bassetlaw and the pc's legal advisers, was no, just renew the lease.  So who is right, or who thinks they are right.  Time will tell, but if someone is not careful I can see houses on the front piece of the sports field, might even get the sports field land locked!
