If a carriage
driver wished to gain access to bridal pathways they would need to
contact Graham Pockett or e-mail Rights.OfWay@bracknell-forest.gov.uk

access bridal pathways and were given keys. Landowner approval was
required before bridal pathways could be used by carriage
drivers.
- David Putt reported
that Volunteers Day was on 16 June 2010 and Be Heard would be
looking for worthwhile projects. David would forward the details
onto the Forum. It would be useful to have photographers to help
with the marketing. Graham Pockett would be invited to a meeting of
the sub group of the Learning Disability Partnership of Health
Group. There would be a range of activities in 2010 regarding
promoting health. Forum Members were welcome to contribute. Graham

going ahead. Timber would go to the saw mill over the next few
weeks. Work would begin on restoring Queen Anne Gulley in August
