On Friday November 12th. 2010, our new Notice Board was unveiled by a representative from Calico, a Housing Association. They gave us £500 towards the cost through an initiative called Small Sparks,part of" Help Direct". We found a further £400 ourselves and the remainder came from a fund donated to the PENDLE LNR's by the now defunct Pendle Environmental Network. The total was £1186.75p; quality notice boards do not come cheap!!!
