Tuesday's Meeting

It is expected that a large number of people will want to attend the meeting on Tuesday but the capacity of the village hall is limited to 120. We cannot allow more than this number to attend as to do so would be breaking the terms of our booking agreement and would be outside the terms of the hall's insurance policy. People will be admitted on a first come first served basis when doors open at 7.30. A Birchanger resident who is a licensed security professional has generously offered to manage admissions for us and we have gratefully accepted his offer.

Because space is so limited we will be using a PA system that we hope will let people outside the hall hear what's being said. We also hope to record the meeting, but if that proves impossible then a summary will be posted online afterwards .

After the address by Dawn French there will be an opportunity to ask questions. These must be on the subject of the traveller encampment; there will not be time to discuss other matters. We want as many voices as possible to be heard so we will only accept one question from any single person. Please do not ask a question that's just been asked by someone else.

This is a meeting about Birchanger. We realise that there are some outside the village who are interested in this matter but we would ask them to stay away so that as many of our own residents as possible can attend.
