Webmaster required
Is there anyone out there who would like to take over the running of the Forest Green Village website? Jenny May has been doing a great job but needs to concentrate on other commitments. It is an increasingly important job these days as the first port of call for a lot of people wanting information is to turn to their computer. If you feel you could help with this please call Jenny on 621214.

Party on the Green
Thank you to everyone who helped with and supported the Party on the Green. It was a fantastic evening. Very well done to all the performers of "Thriller", a wonderful tribute to Michael Jackson. Chris Hamp and his band and Murdochs Crazy Eyes were terrific and got the crowd up dancing. The headline act, "Legend" a nine piece tribute to Bob Marley & the Wailers were superb keeping people on their feet till the finish. The evening had such a lovely community feeling.
If you have any comments, photos of this year's Party on the Green or previous ones, please email us at info@partyonthegreen.com. We hope to have the website improved over the next few months with pictures from past events, details of future ones and a voting page to let us know which bands you would like to see.
A small profit was made from the evening which, as usual, will be distributed to projects, clubs and charities in the parish.

Village Day Meeting
Tuesday 20th October 8.00 pm at the Parrot. The Village Day this year made in the region of £1200 for the Village Hall with a donation going to the renewal of the church gates. A big thank you to everybody who helped and those who came along and supported.
We are already thinking about next year's Village Day and need to set a date that doesn't clash with various sporting fixtures eg the Football World Cup! If you would be interested in helping with the planning of this event please come along to this meeting.
