PERA reports another busy year at AGM
The annual AGM in March was well attended and residents heard from the chairman, secretary and treasurer that PERA (Piccotts End Residents Association) was in good shape. Social events included last year’s Jubilee street party and the fireworks party. This year plans were laid out for new events like the Coronation street party and a return of the popular Safari Supper. A new addition to the village was the erection of a noticeboard.
