Street Market AGM.

The street market AGM held at the Lamb Inn shed last night was well attended and it was good to see some of our newer residents wishing to become actively involved in organising next years event. I am sure that a full report of the meeting will appear in the parish magazine in due course but perhaps people would be interested in the amount made by the 2008 event and the sums donated to organisations within the village.

Despite the poor start to the event caused by early rain street market 08 raised £9,364 only £74.00 less then the previous year. When expenses of £3,935 were removed £5, 600 was left for distribution amongst the various community groups and this was distributed thus.

Silverton Scouts £900.00
Silverton PTA £900.00
Silverton Community Hall. £900.00
Silverton Drama Group £900.00
St Marys Church. £900.00
Silverton After School Club. £250.00
Silverton Pre School Playgroup. £250. 00
Silverton Methodist Church. £250.00
Equipment For 09. £350.00

There was a balance left of £68.44.

The chair paid tribute to the work of all who played their part in making the 08 event such a success and appealed for volunteers to continue the good work in 09.
