Bielby Charity Donations In Lieu of Carol Singing

 STATUS UPDATE, 16 DECEMBER 2021 - 2021 Bielby Charity Donations (in lieu of carol singing).

 

Since launching the 2021 Annual Bielby Charity Donations on the 6th December, we have raised £140 so far as of 16^th December 2021 (£70 of online bank transfers, £50 cheque and £20 in cash donations).

All money raised this year will be donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Last year, 2020, Bielby Parish raised £345; £318.81 in 2019 and £223.29 in 2018.

 

December 2021 Bielby Carol Singing

Hi everybody, I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Due to the ongoing situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, it was agreed at the last parish meeting to again cancel the door-to-door carol singing around the village (Bielby Parish Meeting Minutes, Item 12).

- This is unfortunate as the carol singing is a great event that raises money for local charities.

We would still like to raise money for charity this year and show some typical Bielby generosity by asking everyone to make donations in lieu of the usual door-to-door carol singing collection.

All money raised this year will be donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance as agreed at the last parish meeting (Bielby Parish Meeting Minutes, Item 12).

 

Donations can be made by either:

(a.) Online bank transfer to Bielby Parish Meeting Account, Account number: 83103228, Sort code: 60-16-35, stating: “2021 Carol Singing” as the “Reference” or “Message to Payee”; or,

(b.) Cash or cheque made payable to Bielby Parish Meeting Account in a sealed envelope, clearly mark the envelope “2021 Carol Singing” and deliver to either Paul Ward at The Byre, Graham Tew at Corner Farm, or Ian Ross at Firgrove House.

- Any cash donations can be made anonymously if preferred.

- Groups of neighbours, friends or families may prefer to arrange to contribute to a single ‘pot’ between them and donate the combined amount from one representative of the group.

 

A weekly report will be issued stating the running total raised, and the accounts can be inspected upon request.

Last year, the total donations were £345; in 2019: £318.81, and in 2018: £223.29.

Thanks in advance to everyone for their donations which support these local charities.

Best regards, …

Paul Ward, Chair, Bielby Parish Meeting

Christmas Day Service At Bielby

Christmas Day Service at St Giles, Bielby - Spoken Service only 

In light of COVID developments, it's been decided to hold a spoken service only at St Giles on Christmas morning, without carols.  We appreciate that this will be a great disappointment for many but believe it is the right thing to do under the circumstances.

With best regards,

John Peel and Stephen Smith

Free trees...

Free Trees;

We received an offer of free trees for public spaces or even private landowners offering public access

They work with lots of wildlife trusts, community woodlands and community farms around the UK, supplying them with free trees for their nature reserves, rewilding projects, etc.

Would you like free trees from us for any of your tree planting projects?  they generally supply a minimum of 150 trees for projects but we can be fairly flexible.

Or do you know of any tree planting projects in East Yorkshire, or nearby regions, that would like free trees from us in 2021/2022?  

We're happy to provide free trees for many years beyond that too. 

The trees are all UK native species, grown from UK seed and can be supplied with free shelters, stakes, weed mats, etc. 

You'll find lots more info, our criteria and our tree request form here ...

https://eforests.co.uk/freetrees

While we prefer to work with nature reserves / community woodlands / community farms, we can possibly supply trees for private landowners that you work with that have public access to their land. 

Many thanks,

Village update 28/10/21

 

Remembrance Sunday, 14th November Addendum;

It seems the information at the parish meeting was incorrect, the vicar is to carry out a short service on Sunday 14th at 10.50 am in St Giles Church, Bielby and then at the memorial outside for 11.00. Then, for those who wish to, a walk up to the memorial for the bomber crew along the canal to lay a wreath. Apologies for the error in the meeting minutes.

3. Matters arising from the minutes: No issue raised that were not addressed later in the agenda.

4. Financial Matters:

4.1. Mid-year financial update; IR read out his report to which the meeting had copies available and were available via the blog prior. We are awaiting the second half of the grant monies for the community recovery grant.

Also, an allowance of £569 for Beck clearance as a contingency if the Environment Agency do not uphold their commitment to take this on themselves.

Richard Coe mentioned that the Bus shelter roof will need recovering, estimated cost £300, Also the bench to the Eastern leg of the Canal towards Pocklington on the south side is in need of replacement or repair and a figure of £200 was proposed.

IR to include an allowance in the budget for these two additional items. On this basis the proposal to accept the budget was raised by Richard Coe and seconded by Neil Readman. Amended and approved Budget attached, via link here.

5. Grant update: Work has been done to remove the small hedge and repave the area opposite the church. The work was well received by the meeting and work by PW and Richard and Matt Coe was commended.



6. Parish Land and Rents: The topic of a way forward with resolving where the plots of land are that are owned by the Parish, it was raised by Steve Ridsdale that the parish had not gone about the increase in the correct way in the past, there is a procedure for this which involves notices and demonstration current yields etc. It was agreed that invoices be presented in the same way as before but with the sad passing of Mark Preston of Gale Carr Farm, his estate will deal with the rent invoice as it is still in productive use.

With regard to the title of the lands it is hoped that the sale of the farm will throw up some documents or maps of where the lands are and it was discussed that these lands may be integrated into the sale. This to be discussed at future meetings. Steve Ridsdale was to send PW the contact details of Cundalls who are the Agents for the sale of Gale Carr Farm.

Work had been done to the banks to the east of Thornton Lane to prevent collapse and also repairs to the East of the Canal where some had already occurred.

13. Christmas meal: Sunday 19th December, menus already distributed to those wishing to take part. Anyone who has not paid, please contact Nadia.

14. Christmas walk: An informal gathering to blow those Christmas cobwebs away is set for 3rd January, the Bank Holiday Monday. Neil Readman will propose a walk and let people know via the blog. Previous years have been either from the village or local villages such as Millington.

15. Picnic Area: Sue Richardson proposed that a new bench and seating be placed over the Mill Bridge on the grass under or near the chestnut tree. It was pointed out that there will likely still be a concrete plinth there where a previous bench seat had been placed by the parish some years ago.

PW advised Sue to contact Jon and Beatrice Loss out of courtesy to tell them the village has proposed this. Sue said she would like to donate the bench and seating in commemoration of her mother setting up the now closed Post office in the village many years ago.

Steve Ridsdale pointed out that the EA may have a view on this as there are restrictions on how close certain fixtures can be to a watercourse. PW will write to the EA to seek advice.

Proposed Sue Richardson seconded Richard Coe, no dissenters.

16. Village History board: Julie Tew proposed a village and church information board, similar in style to those along the canal to give visitors, walkers and resting cyclists some information on both the village, with its connection to Merton College, Oxford and the church with its rich history, now that the new bench affords a better view for them. A budget of £1000 was agreed.

Proposed Julie Tew, seconded Ian Simpson

AOB; Paul Ward gave notice that he will not be standing for re-election at the next AGM, after ten years of service the village thanked him for his sterling work. He asked therefore, for any volunteers to step forward and if anyone has any questions regarding the job, which he assured us, is a light burden, to contact him.

The meeting closed at 8.45 pm.

Union Flag

 A concerned citizen wrote to me recently, and worth noting;

Union Flag

It is heartwarming to see so many people flying the union flag at their homes or business premises.

However, in a short drive from Market Weighton to Bielby, there are four examples of the union flag being displayed upside down.

(Presumably, the upside down display of the flag is unintentional rather than a distress signal or an intended insult to the country.)

Great to see the flag flying, but it would be even better if the flag is displayed correctly.

The thick white band at the flag pole or hanging end should be at the top

Thanks Ian Ross for the astute observations

Police Newsletter, planning application and the New Countryside code

• Latest Police Newsletters available on these links for Market Weighton and Pocklington.

• Planning Application for 2 storey and single storey extension at Ivy House, details can be seen and comments made via the link here.

• Countryside Code refresh; As we know, covid lock downs have seen an increase in the number of visitors to the countryside and to our public rights of way network. 
• Overall, this has been a positive thing and essential for our community’s health and wellbeing however it has also brought some challenges, such as trespass, dogs out of control and littering. 
• You may have seen the refreshed Countryside Code being promoted since its launch in April and it may be a good time to promote the Code in the run up to the school holidays and increased visitor numbers. 
• Here is a link to a brief summary of the Code, and here a link to more detailed government website for users and landowners

Funeral Details

The funeral for Mark Preston will held at

Grant Obtained to Tidy up Seating Area Opposite Church

 Hi all,

We applied for and have been successful in obtaining a grant from the Do It for East Yorkshire Community Grant to tidy up the area opposite the church (see photos). 

We will take the hedge down, replace the flagstones, put in a new bench and some flower boxes and generally tidy the area up and make a nice place for anybody to have a sit down. As soon as we receive some of the grant we will get started on the work.

Blog Emails

 Hi Everyone,

Just to let you know that the blog emails that have always been sent by Google feedburner are stopping. Google will no longer be offering this service and are switching off the emails sometime in July.

We have transferred emails over to a new system called follow.it which is free and sends emails with the blog posts on. 

That is why you may have noticed that you are currently getting emails from Google and follow.it.

You may need to confirm the follow.it emails and we also have a sign up button on the village website if you find that you have not been getting emails from follow.it or you have changed your email since you last signed up or you were never signed up in the first place. 

Please let me know if you encounter any issues at ridsdalesara @gmail.com.

Thank you.

To celebrate this special event the Parish Meeting are calling for volunteers of anyone who may want to help organise or offer resources, venue or creative ideas know of your interest in forming an action group/committee, contact either the secretary, Graham Tew (graham@thetews.co.uk) or the chair, Paul Ward (pm242@btinternet.com).

There are several opportunities, such as the beacon network, the big lunch, a street party or whatever we think would be a suitable way for us to come together and celebrate this amazing achievement.

The communication reads;

In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, seventy years of service, having acceded to the throne on 6th February 1952 when Her Majesty was 25 years old.

An extended bank holiday, from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June, will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone. Across the four days the celebrations will include public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflections on The Queen’s 70 years of service.

Thursday 2nd June

• The Queen’s Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour)
• Platinum Jubilee Beacons: The United Kingdom’s long tradition of celebrating Royal Jubilees, Weddings and Coronations with the lighting of beacons will be continued to mark the Platinum Jubilee. Beacons will be lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories. (resources for building beacons are available from parish secretary) and at www.queensjubileebeacons.com
• For the first time, beacons will also be lit in each of the capital cities of the Commonwealth countries to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Friday 3rd June

• Service of Thanksgiving: A Service of Thanksgiving for The Queen’s reign will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral. Further events will be announced in due course.

Saturday 4th June

• The Derby at Epsom Downs: Her Majesty The Queen will attend the Derby at Epsom Downs.
• Platinum Party at the Palace: The BBC will stage and broadcast a special live concert from Buckingham Palace.

Sunday 5th June

• The Big Jubilee Lunch: Every year since the idea began in 2009 The Big Lunch has encouraged communities to celebrate their connections and get to know each other a little bit better, coming together in a spirit of fun and friendship. In 2022 The Big Lunch will bring the Jubilee celebrations into the heart of every community.
• People are invited to share friendship, food and fun with neighbours as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. A Big Jubilee Lunch can be big or small - street party or picnic, tea and cake or a garden barbeque. The Big Lunch provides tips and ideas for hosting an event.

Further announcements:

Later this month details of a special Jubilee emblem competition, in conjunction with the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Design Museum and the Royal College of Arts, will be released. The winning entry will become the official emblem for the celebrations next year.

More information on the details of the central weekend and other celebratory events across the UK and around the Commonwealth will be made in the months to come.

Police and Crime Plan Consultation

 18 June 2021

Dear colleagues

Police and Crime Plan consultation

This week I formally started the process of developing the new statutory Police and Crime Plan for the Humber, which will cover the period 2021-2024.

This is an important document that will not only set out the police and crime objectives for the Humber and the policing that the Chief Constable of Humberside Police is to provide, but also how statutory and non-statutory organisations across the area will work together to deliver safer communities and support the victims and witnesses of crime and antisocial behaviour.

I want to ensure that the plan is developed and delivered in the spirit of collaboration, with input from organisations and residents from across the area. I therefore wanted to make you aware of this work to ensure you have the opportunity to comment on issues in your local areas and to ask for your help in raising awareness with your residents.

I have launched a public survey, which will run until Sunday 11 July, to gather people’s views and experiences from across the area. The more people who complete it the better the information will be, so if you could help me to raise awareness of it (such as through social media or any residents’ newsletters you may have coming up) that would be greatly appreciated. I will of course publish the results. The link to the survey is: https://www.humberside-pcc.gov.uk/News/News-Archive/2021/Police-and-Crime-Plan-2021-24-Have-Your-Say.aspx

If there are any local issues or priorities you would like to raise with me as part of the process, please do email me at PCC@humberside.pnn.police.uk.

Thank you in advance for any support you can give and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Jonathan Evison

Colour Printer Available

Jan Emptage has a HP 2600 laser colour printer that she no longer uses and would be happy to give it away to anyone who would find a use for it.  It works fine but will need one new colour cartridge to get it printing.  It is quite heavy but Chris would be happy to deliver it to anyone in the village.
