At the PVT
open meeting on 26th March, it was agreed that PVT should raise
funds by donation to purchase a piece of waterside land with oyster pits and
jetty, as a recreation and conservation area for the village. We are now
inviting donations towards a minumum target of £12,000 for this project.
If you would like to donate using Gift Aid, please
fill in the separate Gift Aid form. Donations can also be paid direct to PVT
and sent to the Treasurer, David Whittingham, Cobblers Row, Paglesham (but please
note that direct payments to PVT cannot attract gift aid).
If you would
like more information, please call 0777 377 1715 or email richard.bessey@btinternet.com.
Thank you
