> Spence has been working on a proposal for a woodland burial service which would provide a complete service for people who are recently bereaved.  His research has showed that there is a strong business case and that existing services are somewhat lacking in their sensitivity.

> Harvey has asked if we would like to build a structure (barn?) with him in the woods that he operates near Barcombe.
> We decided this would be a nice thing to do.  We can expect to have use of the structure and could build something simple with a few days work. One to cut the poles in the woods, one to erect the structure, one to do the roof.

> Marion (the owner) has been away quite a bit but should be back now.  Spences' ideas should be of interest as she considered having some burials on there a good way to protect the site from developers.  We had a look at land registry maps and discussed the fact that the relatively small space available is going to limit burials and/or other activities there.
