The following sections are extracts from the PCC Parish Magazine that is published monthly. HINTON CHARTERHOUSE PARISH PLAN The open meeting held in 2008 saw  the Memorial Hall packed with excited villagers keen to be a part of the future development of the village. After an excellent presentation the villagers were given the opportunity to add their ideas to those already gathered by the committee. Two groups allowed further discussion on all aspects of village life to be thoroughly aired. The success of this venture relies on the enthusiasm of the participants and there was certainly no lack of it on that night. The Ideas came thick and fast from the practical to the downright bizarre. A questionaire was sent to all residents for completion. The Plan Steering Committee comprises:- Callie Mather, Christina Pearce and Fraser Robertson MOTHERS AND TODDLERS GROUP Meet on Fridays and any new members would be welcomed. £1 a session. 10.30 a.m.-12.00 noon.  Hinton Memorial Hall COFFEE AND CHAT In February we wil meet at Sarah Williamson’s on 23rd.
