Martin Calvert to investigate purchasing one for use in helping to prevent the Beck undercutting its bank.
- Becks Inspector
Joe Smallman has spoken to Community Policeman regarding crimes against the stream and lake. They need proof that our suspect was involved. Possibility of contacting the suspect and finding his objectives. Joe is aware of the current state of the stream.
- FGVW Merchandise
In profit already! Sales of £293.80 have resulted in a profit of £47.38 so far. Excellent news. Congratulations to Adam and the sales team.

FGVW has not been included in this year's printed leaflet.
- Friends of Potternewton Park
Martin had been sent a copy of the minutes from their last meeting, and these were shared with the group.
- Restricting Access
The log used to prevent cars accessing the wood from Gledhow Lane has been positioned as requested by Mervyn.
- FunDay Accounts
These will be ready for the next meeting.
4. Action Mornings
The last Action Morning was on 14th May and the group was mostly involved in rhodedendrum clearance near the concrete footbridge. May need to dispose of the cuttings next time to leave a better finish since they do look unsightly.
The next Action Morning will be on June 19th. The group will be digging out the edges of the deviation path and infilling with gravel to hopefully prevent a re-occurrence of flooding.
The Action Morning after that will be on Sunday 10th July to clean the Bath House and area in readiness for the Heritage Open Weekend in September.
There will also be an August Action Morning to reap the meadow. Martin Calvert will be contacting Elaine about this.
Next Action Mornings
Sunday 19th June
Sunday 10th July
