Alex and Vince have a ripe grape vine so if anyone likes making wine in the village, they have a vine full of ripe black grapes going spare if anyone wants to harvest them for a perfect "chateau Bielby" - perhaps in return for a wee tot of the finished produce! Please let Alex know if interested.
Alex asked me to mention this just over a week ago so I hope that the grapes are still ok! I've just been in touch with Alex and you will need to hurry if you want to harvest them as they have reached their best and are on the turn!

- The journey operates on Wednesdays & Saturdays and has been re-timed to leave Pocklington at 0930 (bus pass request).
- The journey operates on Tuesdays & Thursdays and is re-timed to leave Pocklington at 1230. The journey is extended to York to give an afternoon service into York, for people to return on the 1740 X36 service. This will give 3hours and 46mins in York.
- The journey operates Tuesdays & Thursdays, but is otherwise unchanged.
- The journey operates on Wednesdays. We have tried to give as much time in York as possible, but the bus needs to be back at Woldgate College for 1525. Travelling in on the 0930 from Pocklington will give 2hours and 56mins in York.
- The journey is retimed from 1440 to 1450, but is otherwise unchanged.

Purchase of a tent and storage bags
This year Bielby Village Festival purchased, using Festival Funds, a new tent (the stage tent) – Ian Simpson proposed that the village buy the tent from the festival thereby making it available for the village to use all year round instead of just for the festival. The cost of the tent was £687.85.
It was also suggested by Ian that the village bought some proper storage bags for the tent poles as the cardboard boxes that the poles came in get easily damaged. The storage bags are £6.99 each, with 10 being required, making the potential purchase total £69.90.
Paul Kerry seconded the proposal and the meeting agreed.
The proceeds from the sale of the tent will then be given to Marie Curie (as with the other festival proceeds) for care in the local community.

Village Facility Update
A questionnaire was circulated earlier in the year to find out whether the village wanted a meeting facility. The results from the questionnaire were a resounding no. Thank you to all of the people who filled in the questionnaire and also to the committee and Chris Emptage for their work involved.

Increase in Village Meetings
The chairman suggested that it might be a good idea to increase, per year, the number of meetings that we hold. There are times when he needs to make decisions on matters arising outside meeting times. It was also suggested that it would allow the community to be more informed on planning applications.
The meeting agreed and Val Nolton suggested that instead of holding a normal meeting and the AGM on the same evening in April that we instead split these 2 up and have the meetings as follows:
End January Bielby Parish Meeting
End April Bielby Parish meeting AGM
End September Bielby Parish Meeting
Richard Coe seconded.
As a result of the planning application feedback it was suggested that all planning applications be put on to the Bielby Blog from now on.

Road Update
The chairman attended another meeting regarding the state of our roads. Nigel Layton (Director of Environment and Neighborhood Services at ERYC) also attended along with our MP. The results of a HGV survey have concluded that there is an even distribution of heavy goods vehicles with 98% of them going to and from local businesses.
The tender for the Recycling contract was reviewed in early October and we will know in January whether or not the Composting Site at Melbourne has another 10 year term.
Re traffic calming measures - recently two speeding indicators have been positioned in the village – the results may allow us to get a grant for flashing 30 MPH signs at both ends of the village. We await the research outcome.

A.O.B.
a: Emergency Planning
East Riding Council has come up with a much simpler format and template to allow Parishes to draw up their own Emergency Plan.
It was agreed that for such a small, close community it wasn’t necessary at present.
b: Bielby Beck
Neil Readman has noticed that the foliage on the beck bank has started to get quite high again and had proposed that we need to annually maintain things.
There have been significant budget cuts within the Environment Agency which in turn will affect any future maintenance on Bielby Beck. Neil has been advised that we should contact the Internal Drainage Board to ask that they adopt the Beck with a view to them assisting with routine maintenance.
Neil also proposed that, this year, we keep the bank in good order and that he should be able to use up to £1000 of parish funds to do this. Should additional funds be required Neil shall consult again with the Parish.
There were no objections and Peter Youngseconded.
