Carol Service readers - As usual, if anyone would like to read a lesson at the village Carol Service, they are very welcome; all ages from pupil to pensioner are invited. Just let warden John Peel (john_peel@btopenworld.com) know so you can receive your reading in advance to help you prepare.
Are there any senior members of the village who would like to come to Stoneleigh one day a week for their meals and a day of activities. Please pass the message on to anyone who may not see this. Thanks.
Dale is hoping to host a day a week where you can come and have a hot meal, buffet style tea, hot drinks and company.
There will also be the opportunity to use the facilities - shower/bath, laundry.
Stoneleigh is always warm and if our elderly community can save on their bills we’d be happy to help.
It will probably be a Wednesday.
Thanks
Dale
Please let Dale know if you would like to go or if you know someone who you think would like to go. Thanks.

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.

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.
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.Hi All,
Please have a look at the photo to see if any of these glasses are yours.
They were left in the barn at ours back in June.
Thanks.

Bielby Church Open Day Sat 10 September
Heritage Open Days are held every September all across Europe to let people see our special buildings. They are free to enter or offer a free event. Yorkshire Churches Open Day is part of this festival and Bielby church will be open for anyone interested in the village's heritage to take a look around. So:
Saturday 10th September, 10.00 am - 5.00 pm
St Giles's church will be open for a look around or simply to sit in for a quiet moment. The choice is yours.
At 11.00 am and 3.00 pm there will be a short guided tour (c.15 mins.) to explain a few things:
- why is the church where it is?
- why is it a special spot?
- how old is the church?
- how much bigger did it use to be?
- what has changed and why?
- according to folklore, which door was the devil's?
- which bell is one of the oldest in Yorkshire (from c.1300)?
- where is the priest's medieval sundial?
- which war memorials are a century old this year?
- and more besides e.g. on show will be the photos and children's craftwork displayed at the Jubilee celebrations.
Feel free to come for a tour or your own quiet visit.
Everyone is welcome.

The work to be undertaken commencing 15th August is all at the Everingham (Southern) end of the village and is to improve the drainage.
Phase 1: Monday 15th August 2022 until Wednesday 17th August 2022
"The road closure is necessary to enable the drainage and carriageway improvement works to be carried out in a manner consistent with ensuring the safety of the public. The Order is valid for 18 months, but it is anticipated that the works will be completed within 3 days on Phase 1."
Dear Villagers,
We have been notified by the highways department that they plan to make selective repairs to the roads in and around the village commencing next Monday 15th August and again from Tuesday the 2nd September. The initial work in August will take three days and the work in September is likely to take seven days. Access will be allowed to residents but it may be necessary to enter and leave the village from a different direction.
Road Repairs & Closure Information
Can I remind residents to avoid parking on the road near to where yellow paint has been used to mark areas to be repaired.
I will try to find out more detail on which repairs will be done first and advise you accordingly.
Chris Emptage
Some of you may be aware that James and Elizabeth Jones from the village have been undertaking several daredevil activities in preparation for a 100m abseil down The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. The preparations included: GoApe (where Elizabeth spent most of her time suspended upside down), 250m zipwire over a lake with an undignified landing (Elizabeth again) 150ft abseil into the abyss at Magna, (Elizabeth’s glove got caught in the equipment, are you seeing a theme here…) and several short abseils off a bridge in Derbyshire, (no mishaps this time!). On 3rd July, we completed the final challenge and abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower and we both lived to tell the tale. So far we have raised £1,215 for the charity through our JustGiving page, which can be found here if you would like to contribute: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/goingdownwiththejoneses
or donations can be made in person to James or Elizabeth.
