2. Minutes of meeting held on 14 April 2005

It was agreed to amend minute 3 line 5 to read "... youth shelter is being ordered...".

3. Matters Arising

(a) Banner - Derick was congratulated for the splendid banners. He has also made the post boxes and posters, which Gerald is going to arrange to be put up.

(b) Publicity - Gerald reported that he had spoken to the Friends of All Saints' and the Guides. Both had gone well, and as a result he has been asked to speak to the Southfleet Residents' Association.

(c) Sevenoaks Council - Gerald said from recent discussions he found that no-one had ever thought of putting archaeology into a village design statement before. They did not say whether they would help with inputting the data. They have recently run a "planning for real" exercise in New Ash Green, which members understood would have been expensive to stage. The committee was concerned that Hartley was being treated less favourably than New Ash Green in this regard.

4. Questionnaires

A target date for distribution of 11 May 2005 was set.

5. Publicity

It was agreed we did not need to rent the Church Centre Committee room (at an additional £10) for the Open Day.

6. Fundraiser

(a) Awards for All - Mark is awaiting further information for the application form from Peter.

(b) Rural Community Council - Mark to investigate possibility of funding from them.

7. Treasurer

Mark is progressing the transfer of signatories to the account.

8. Correspondence

Nothing to report

9. Any other business

Nothing to report
