Esh Village Residents' Association Annual General Meeting 2017

This year, EVRA will be holding it's AGM on 9th February at 7.30pm in The Cross Keys pub. As in previous years, the meeting gives us a chance to let people know what we've been up to this year, to present the accounts, and to open up opportunities and ideas for getting involved in the year ahead.

We'll also hear from a speaker from St John's Ambulance on first aid and resuscitation. This links in with our hopes to have a village defibrillator installed in the village in the next few months and should be a great evening.

All are welcome - the more the merrier!
