All eight councillors were present at the February meeting of St. Florence Community Council, along with County Councillor Kidney, Mr. T. Roberts and Mr. J. Edwards on behalf of St. Florence Cricket Club, Mr. C. Evans, Mr. R. Hughes, Mr. R. Hancock and Miss S. Hughes.

During public participation, which was limited to 15 minutes, Mr. J. Edwards informed the council he was attending on behalf of St. Florence Cricket Club. He said notice had been given to the Pembrokeshire Cricket League that St. Florence would not be playing next season. This was due to members having other commitments such as work. This decision was not taken lightly, but it was highly unlikely that St. Florence would be able to fulfil all of its fixtures and they would therefore have incurred penalty fines. With this in mind, plus the costs of renting the village hall and field, the decision to not enter the league was taken.

The council informed Mr. Edwards and Mr. Roberts that it was a shame there would be no cricket played next season, but could understand the reasons why.

Mr. Edwards also informed the council that Creselly Cricket Club intended to use Carew Seconds field, so they too would not be playing on the St. Florence field.

The club would like to restart again next year and would need help from the community to do this. It was added that some friendly matches were hoping to be arranged and Mr. Edwards asked the council's view on maintaining the field in a playable condition.

Clr. Griffiths asked the clerk to agenda the item for the next meeting so the council could discuss this.

Mr. C. Evans addressed the council asking for a larger report of minutes in the Tenby Observer and for the minutes to be printed regularly. The clerk informed Mr. Evans that, with the exception of January's minutes, there were minutes in the local 'paper once a month.

Mr. Evans said that compared to other local councils, St. Florence's minutes were very small. The clerk responded that she could only write what had been said at the meetings, but in future would attempt to go into more detail.

Clr. Buckmaster produced a letter from L. Randles asking for the minutes to be once again published in the Tenby Observer as they always used to be.

The clerk would agenda the item for the next meeting and attend the Tenby Observer office and obtain copies of the minutes which had been printed for the last year and produce them at the next meeting.

Mr. Evans raised the issue of the 'give way' sign at Parsonage Farm Inn. The right of way was not always abided by, making it dangerous.

Clr. Griffiths advised that he was meeting with highways that week to address the concern. Mr. Evans thanked the council.

The next meeting will be held on March 5 at 7.30 pm.
