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
