5. WEBSITE: John reported that the website was looking really good and that Neil had done an excellent job since the last meeting. Angie had worded a letter to send out to recoup money from advertising. It was looked at and updated. John offered to take the letter away and arrange for Neil to send out e-mails to those advertising on the website. We would be asking for a £15 donation, but if anyone wanted to donate more to the upkeep of the website we would be grateful. Alan noted that the website was getting 40,000 hits a month so it was well worth the advertising especially for B&B’s. It was also agreed that this would be the same if any other businesses would like to advertise.

Angie would contact Dave and ask him to communicate with Robert Goodley and Loz as previously agreed about the possibility of land use for this project. Alan gave Loz the information on Business plans and funding information verbally. Angie agreed to speak to Dave about use of a minibus.
