Local history

Provisional 1999, recognised 2000. Its summer meetings are shorter and better attended than its winter ones, and its winter hours are four times its summer ones.

The outward obligation

Transport and winter provision

Winter fuel and check-in, held with a county older residents' scheme.

Fuel deliveries, shovelling, and a telephone round from November to April.

The forms it carries

  • The Quiet Twelve

    Twelve minutes are kept before the reading. Nothing is assigned to the silence.

  • The Weather Entry

    Before the first shared meal of the month, one person writes the weather in the house book.
