Parish News.... Photo competition, Police newsletters and Help for households

 East Riding young photographer competition

The council’s planning design team are inviting all young people in the East Riding to send in their favourite pictures of where they live for the chance to win a £50 one4all shopping voucher.
They are looking for pictures that tell the council what young people like or don’t like so much about their neighbourhood. Whether that be a favourite place to go with friends or where they walk their dogs – the council’s planning design team want to know!
This will help the council plan for creating better public spaces in the future for our residents, their family and friends as part of the ongoing work to create an East Riding Design Code.

Baking Volunteer List

Debbie was just wondering if anyone is interested in being included on my list of volunteers for baking cake/tray bake. 

Debbie is a trustee of a charity Pocklington Rugby in the Community. Part of their work involves supporting elderly people who are lonely, isolated, vulnerable and for this they run a social on the last Friday of every month at the rugby club. 

What started out as a handful of people getting together for a game of dominos and a cup of tea/coffee has now grown. They have around 50 regulars who have had opportunities to make new friends and really feel they belong to something as well as having new experiences! 

They are always looking for volunteers who might like to help out with providing cakes etc it would not be every month as they try to share the load round. 

If anyone is interested in being involved and want to know more just drop Debbie a message on 07788100201. 

Debbie says she cannot tell you how great it is to meet people in Pocklington who are now full of enthusiasm and tell her how the Friday social is the highlight of their month or that they've discovered new skills as a result of the activity they've been introduced to at the social, be it crocheting, pot making, quizzing, bingo, crafts!!

Harvest Festival and People's Pantry

 Harvest Festival and People's Pantry

Just a reminder that the village Harvest Festival is this Sunday 16th October at 6.30 pm. Everyone is welcome.

Instead of decorating the church with fresh produce we shall use non-perishable foods which can then be given to the People's Pantry, our local food bank.

If you'd like to donate any tins or packets of food, the church will be open 10-5 Saturday and 11-5 Sunday. You can leave your gifts on the table just inside the door.

All donations will be gratefully received. Thank you very much.

Halloween Pumpkin Carving At Stoneleigh

Dale is going to do another Halloween pumpkin carving event like he did a couple of years ago, which was a brilliant afternoon.

Dale is inviting any children of Bielby to come to Stoneleigh to carve a pumpkin. He has pencilled in Friday 28th October. 

Dale thought the children might come in Halloween costumes, and Dale will hollow out the pumpkins so they’re ready to carve when the children arrive. They'll put on a Halloween tea. There will be prizes for the Halloween carving.

It was a brilliant afternoon last time and all the children, parents, grandparents and residents had a lovely time all together. Thanks Dale and the Stoneleigh team for asking us back again, we can't wait to pop over for some Halloween fun.

Let me or Dale know you are coming so Dale can organise Pumpkins. Thanks.

Harvest Festival and Carol Service in Bielby Church

Harvest Festival and Carol Service in Bielby Church

Once again we shall decorate the church with food in cans and packets (rather than fresh produce). This will then be passed on to our local food bank, The People's Pantry. It is increasingly in demand.

If anyone wishes to donate items for the food bank, please leave them on the table just inside the church doorway, Sat 15th 10-5 or Sun 16th 11-5. All donations will be very gratefully received.

And save the date.........

Our village Carol Service will be on Monday 19th December at 6.30 pm.
