Round Hill Community Meeting
The next Round Hill Society community meeting, open to all local residents, will (Covid willing) be held at 19.30 on Wednesday 3rd November 2021 at Richmond House at the junction of Richmond Road and D'Aubigny Road. We do want some new committee members. Duties not onerous - couple of hours a month usually covers it. If not you, then perhaps someone you know on the hill?
