The Anne Biddlecombe Hall, True Lovers Knot and churches at Tarrant Keynston and Rushton are the main meeting places for the community. The Hall is regularly used by 226 people on a monthly/occasional basis, the True Lovers Knot by 180, the Parish Churches by175, the playing field by 87 and the adventure playground by 80. On a daily/weekly basis the True Lovers Knot was regularly visited by 45 respondents, the Parish Churches by 32, Village Hall by 28 and the playing field by 11, with only 3 to the play area.

The four main meeting places meet the parish needs. The Anne Biddlecombe Hall was considered to meet the needs of the parish very well. The True Lovers Knot was considered to be adequate (there are plans for its' expansion and refurbishment in Autumn 2005)

The questionnaire revealed that the Tarrant Times is the most popular source of information with the Blackmore Vale Magazine a close runner up. So far, the website has been accessed by very few residents.
