Meeting?

We would like to have a meeting before the summer holiday season to discuss plans etc. We can also discuss having a meal/get together as we did not do anything after Christmas.

How about either a Tuesday or Thursday evening in the next few weeks?

Please let me know if you have any preference for day or date and also if you would be happy to host the meeting.

Thanks

Chris

Pathfinder Bridleway Routes

We have received some information about a Pathfinder Project to document some riding routes in Shropshire. This may be of interest and worth a look.

The Pathfinder Project has collated a collection of horse riding routes spanning across the Shropshire Hills National Landscape including the Long Mynd, Stiperstones, Clee Hill, Brown Clee, Wenlock Edge, Clun and their surrounding areas.

The Pathfinder Project is funded by the Shropshire Hills Farming in Protected Landscapes programme.

Change Of Bank

Following from the last post regarding our Lloyds Bank Account it looks like we may be able to move to Nat West which currently does not have a monthly charge for community groups.

We will start the process but before making the change we need to make sure that everyone is happy with a change of Bank.

Please let me know ASAP if you have any concerns or questions.

Clee View Bridleways Banking Charges!

From 14th Jan we are going to be charged £4.25/mth by Lloyds Bank to use our community Bank Account!

We only do a handful of transactions in a year and our account does not have much in it so an annual cost of £51 will soon eat into our funds.

I have had a quick look around and there are not many free alternatives for non-registered community groups. Nat West seem to offer one but only for people with an existing Nat West account (I don’t have one). Metro appears to be an option but it looks like you have to go into a Branch and the nearest is Brieley Hill.

Please contact me if you have any thoughts?
