Angela has let me know about the early morning bus service X36 to York for anyone who doesn't know it exists, Angela didn't until it drove past early one morning back in May!
If you work in York its cheaper than paying for petrol and parking £4.95 for a day saver ticket, this will get you to and from work as well as any other Transdev bus service.
The bus comes through Bielby at 6.47am and arrives in York at 7.40am, the bus back sets off from York Station at 5.40pm and stops at all the usual stops the same as EYMS buses.
The route
Pocklington
Bielby
Everingham
Seaton Ross
Melbourne
Sutton in Derwent
Elvington

Shelving Wanted For Hearing Dogs For Deaf
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People desperately need shelving to store bedding etc. in their accommodation block. Does any one have some surplus shelving they can donate?
The shelving needs to be no taller than 40 inches due to a sloping ceiling but can be any length or width (but preferably as wide as possible).
If you can help, please contact Gemma Theakston at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People on: 01759 322299 or e-mail: gemma.theakston@hearingdogs.org.uk

Bielby Facebook Group
I have received an email from Angela who has created a Bielby group on facebook as it's another way of getting the villagers to be
social.
Angela doesn't know many people in the village and thought it would be another way to get to know people and what's going on in the village.
Events and other info can be added to the group. If you are on facebook then you can take a look at the group via the following link

Jubilee Thanks
The Jubilee committee just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who helped to make the village celebrations so successful. Without the help of everyone the event would not have been possible.
Thanks to all those who helped to clear, clean and decorate the barn prior to the event, to those who brought down the much needed chairs, tables, bales and other equipment - speakers, pa system, music system, lights etc, thanks for the food, the sausages, buns and trifles went down a treat. Thanks for all the bunting, flags & table cloths that helped to make the barn look special and the wonderful jubilee flower arrangements that were personalised with the childrens decorated crowns, what a lovely touch. Thanks for the music compilation and for preparing the children's food and helping on the day with serving the food. The bouncy castle, pinatas and garden games at Stoneleigh were a great hit with the children and the medals for the fancy dress competition will be treasured for a long time to come. Thanks to all those who helped with the smooth running of the event on the day and then all those who helped with the clear up on Tuesday.
Thanks must go to the staff and residents of Stoneleigh for making the large crowd of villagers, friends and family so welcome.
A final thanks must go to everyone who attended the event for making the day so special, everyone really got into the spirit of it and the sea of red, white and blue parading up the village was certainly a sight to see.
The children all looked brilliant in their fancy dress costumes so thanks for all your efforts.
The committee have received a few notes of thanks for the celebrations which I thought I would share with you.
" Thanks for the lovely hospitality." -Gilly and Rob (Lisa's Parents)
"Can you pass on to the villagers of Bielby how wonderful I thought it was that there are people wiling to give up there time and thank them for making us feel really welcome. I think this Jubilee has been really good for everyone bringing good old fashioned values into a crazy world." Sue (Jenny W's friend)
"Dear Jubilee Committee,
Thank you so much for inviting Rob & I to your Diamond Jubilee Celebration. We both enjoyed it very much.
It was good to meet up again with village residents both old and new.
Thank you also for the "OBE" it certainly was a lovely surprise. The certificate will be framed & displayed in a prominent position in our home.
With many thanks once again.
Best Wishes to you all.
Yours Margaret & Rob"
