  • Invitation: Meet your Parish Council and Pavilion Committee

    You are invited  to a village meeting on 7th May 2025, 7pm at the Pavilion, The Street, Felthorpe.

    Come along and meet Parish Councillors and Pavilion committee members!

    We are delighted to welcome you to join us to informally learn about the parish council and the Pavilion, to chat about the workings of both, and ways in which you may like to assist.

    Both the parish council and the pavilion committee are looking for new members to influence and help with the smooth running of each.  Neither are particularly time-consuming, but joining now will ensure that members of both organisations remain as Felthorpe residents, looking after the best interests of the parish long term.
