This year we had a Guess The Weight Of The Cake, (thanks go to Diane Craven for baking the cake) which looked delicious but unfortunately I didn't get to taste as I didn't guess the weight correctly!!

The Name the TV Programme & Name The Sweets quizzes got our thinking caps on whilst we enjoyed a cuppa and scone!

Thanks to all those who contributed a raffle prize and to you for buying a ticket!

We hope you enjoyed browsing the book stall and we hope you managed to buy a cake on the cake stall, thanks to all those who donated books or made a cake, the church fund appreciates the support.

Duck Race Was A Great Family Event

Sunday 30th October saw the duck race take place down Mill Lane. The weather was very kind as the sun shone and the rain stayed away!

The 120 little yellow ducks entertained a large crowd of family and friends who turned out to cheer on their duck.

There was great excitement as children and adults alike raced across the bridge to see which numbered duck would emerge from under the bridge first, hoping their duck wouldn't get distracted by the duck weed at the sides of the beck and which one would reach Richard C and Matt S first.


6 races took place and prizes includes a Christmas hamper, Veg box, Chylde's Play voucher, Swimming lessons, a voucher for a Haircut & Christmas Cake, so well done to all the winners.

The hearty cup of soup was most welcome to keep the Autumnal chills away.

The event raised £238 for the church.

Thanks to all those who organised the event, selling the duck numbers, making soup, clearing beck so the ducks could race under the bridge and setting the ducks off and collecting them all up.

A great event and we will look forward to the next one.

(Please note - if you feature in one of the photos and you don't wish to have your photo on the website then please let me know and I will remove the photograph.)

Summary Of Parish Meeting on 17th October 2011

Here is a brief summary for those of you who couldn't attend the parish meeting on Monday 17th October 2011.
  • Update about Beck clearance - drainage board will be returning to do more maintenance work between Market Bridge and approximately 500m downstream of the Mill. Thanks must go to Neil Readman for organising the Beck clearance work.
  • Planning applications that have been applied for, granted and declined were discussed. Planning applications are usually displayed on village notice board.
  • Bonfire/Fireworks - not to take place this year, but will be reviewed annually. Money normally spent on fireworks will be held in reserve in case money is needed to complete Beck clearance which is being done to help guard against another flood.
  • Carol Singing will take place at 6pm on Sunday 18th December 2011.
  • Parish Plan - lottery grant had restrictions for use but the questionnaires didn't highlight any significant areas to spend money on so money was returned.
  • Waste Management Lorries - it had been noted that more lorries have been coming through the village, there were concerns about this due to suitability of road, damage to road, damage to nearby housing which may be affected as the movement of lorries can cause houses to shake and plaster to come off. Communication has been made with council and the waste management company. It is hoped that the lorries will share the journeys, taking different routes so that not all lorries are coming through Bielby.
  • Buses - Discussion about the withdrawal of buses in the morning to be replaced by a Pullman service. Issue regarding cost of running this bus, the village has been asked to make a contribution to the cost of having the Pullman bus. It was felt that we should pledge a contribution along with other villages along the route.
  • Queen's Diamond Jubilee - A committee has been set up to organise the Jubilee celebrations, if people have suggestions or want to get involved then they can contact Sara Ridsdale, Val Nolton, Paul Ward or the Tews.
The village would like to thank Val Nolton, Rachael Reed, Paul Ward (new chairman) & Neil Readman (previous chairman) for the hard work they put into running the Parish meetings both on the night and during the year. A lot of hard work goes on, so thank you.

Thanks to Jean & Mike for letting us host the meeting at the pub.

The next parish meeting will take place in April 2012.

A Great Afternoon At Inter Village Olympics

A big thanks to all those who attended the inter-village olympics despite the poor weather, it was an enjoyable afternoon.

Thanks to all those who took part, thankfully no injuries despite Richard and Sara going head over heals, well Sara going over Richard's head in the piggy back race!!

The roll the bale relay was a great success although next year we will be watching where we sit as the bales do tend to roll off course and this year saw the Bielby spectators scrambling to their feet at one point to get out of the way of the bale. Would have been funny if I hadn't been one of the spectators!!!

The Bielby under fives were very well attended and all the children enjoyed the races, Matthew loved being in the sack race and we liked watching Austin and Jamie's original three legged racing! Lilia, Hettie & Ruby enjoyed the toddlers running race and Lilia said she couldn't believe she was a winner and she loved her medal. It was good to see the Preston family joining in their first village event. Mae & Lily flew the flag for the under 18's, so well done girls. Thanks to all the other children who attended and took part.

Jenny W and Jenny S had a good technique for the adult three legged race, well done Marcus on winning the egg & spoon after the "practise run!"

It was an enjoyable afternoon and great for all the family. Bielby had a good turn out, so thanks Bielby for helping to make this another great event. The Bielby team didn't want to go home so continued with their own races after the other villages had left.

Thanks must go to Burnby for organising & hosting the event this year.

We look forward to seeing you all at next year's inter-village olympics.
