Survey About Village Community Needs

Dear Villagers,

 In the next few days you will be receiving a short survey to establish the Village Community Needs. It is only four pages long and we would prefer it if you can return the thoughts of your family members using the QR code on the first sheet. 

 If you are unable to use the QR code please fill in the paper version and if you need additional copies these can be requested from Chris Emptage at chris@RNPS.co.uk or ‘phone 07889 093635. 

 It would be really helpful if you can return the preferred QR code or paper version by the 14th November to allow us to process and present the results at the next Village Parish Meeting which is on the 23rd November. 

 Many thanks, 

 Bielby Village Community Group

Immediately after, for those who are able, we shall walk to the canal to lay a wreath at the memorial to the two young airmen who crashed there in World War II. 

 Everyone is welcome to attend either or both events and pay their respects.

Heritage and Harvest at St Giles's, Bielby

Heritage and Harvest at St Giles's, Bielby 

 Thank you to everyone who supported St Giles's Heritage Open Day, whether donating or calling in. 

Visitors were a mix from the village and as far away as Lancashire and Staffordshire. It was a day of smiles all round and raised £177.08 towards the church's upkeep. 

Bielby's next big church event is Harvest Festival at 6.00 pm on Sunday 4th October and everyone is welcome. 

 Our custom is to receive donations of cans and packets of food (please check BBE dates) to give to our local food bank, The People's Pantry, after the service. 

 If you'd like to help the Pantry, the church will be open 10.00 - 5.00 Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun. Please simply leave your gifts on the table near the door - and thank you very much in advance!
