The Second Settle Soup - 19th July

The four pitches at  July 2015 Settle Soup -
                           held on 19 July at 6.30pm in Victoria Hall, Settle:

Settle Soup money box made by Milly

1. Victoria Hall Bunting appeal - given by Jane
2. Settle Youth Club appeal - by Caitlin
3. "Cook up" using waste or surplus food from local shops or gardeners:-we need a fridge. - by Jo
4. Could Settle have a new Settle Development Trust? - by Ann

We listened to the four four minute talks, asked questions. We were served carrot and coriander soup and tomato and basil soup and we discussed the talks and talked to each other and met new people. We voted and the project which gained the most votes - by a very clear majority was ... the Youth Club... So they will be using the £140 plus a bit more door money.

1. Victoria Hall Bunting appeal - given by Jane

2. Settle Youth Club appeal by Caitlin

The Youth Club, held in the Rugby Club needs funds for:

Money for more equipment

Money for transport for Fun Trips

A better Tuck Shop.

3. "Cook up" : Jo pitches for money to start a "cook up" using waste or surplus food from local shops or gardeners

 4. Could Settle have a new Settle Development Trust?  Ann Harding talks about a possible new Settle Development Trust which can help support local projects and maybe help with access to funding.
