Funding Raising Venture

Hi Everyone,

I would be very grateful if you would consider donating to Rebecca's fund raising venture.  Unfortunately she was diagnosed with Epilepsy two summers ago and is still coming to terms with it herself.  We are extremely proud of how she has coped with this and managed through her AS year.  As she finishes her A2 year at Archbishop Holgate's School, she wanted to do this fundraiser by cutting off her lovely long brown hair before Christmas - much to my dismay!  She is donating the hair to the Little Princesses charity who make human hair wigs for children affected by chemotherapy and alopecia and is raising funds for both Epilespy Action and Macmillan Cancer Support.  

Thanks in advance

Susan and Stephen Smith

Tracing Family History

I have received the email below.

I wonder if anyone can help . I have been looking into my family background and a family bible informs me that my paternal grandmother was born in Bielby on 10th June 1881.
Her name was Hannah Jane Smith and I believe she had three sisters and one brother. Although unlikely I wondered if any of the family descendants still live in the village or area . My wife and I visit Pocklington regularly during the summer and have visited the village on several occasions.
Many thanks
Paul Benson


I have Paul's email if anyone has any information. Thanks

Britain In Bloom

“At the last Parish meeting we agreed to pay for people to plant flowers, put up flower boxes, hanging baskets etc to go outside houses, on verges etc to make the village look nice and possibly apply for Britain in Bloom if we get enough people to take part. We would be looking for people to volunteer to plant flowers and look after them if they are willing to put them outside their property or volunteer to put them around the village. Please contact Paul Ward if you would be willing to brighten up the village”. You can email Paul on pm242@btinternet.com
