Barrett to complete the forms. Recommendation: Cllr. Barrett to get in touch with S. Schute to get the funding moving again. Cllr. O’Hara suggested to approach the Worstead Festival Committee, who have now paid their last grant to the Church, to make some commitment for the next five to ten years to the village itself. This may be an incentive for more people to come forward as helpers for the Festival.
