Thanks go to Richard and Christine Coe for kindly hosting the event and Andy and Alison Bell for setting the questions.
Thanks.

Halls of South Acre Farm, Melbourne have contacted me to let villagers know that due to the bridge closure at the Thornton end of Marketbridge Lane, they are unable to access fields from that direction, and will need to bring tractors and trailers through Bielby instead.
It should only be for a couple of days, and will be at some point over the next week or two. They will be asking drivers/contractors to drive considerately through the village. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact Sara Ridsdale and we will pass any messages on.
Happy New year to everyone, It's off to a very wet start, but thankfully no serious flooding. (I don't think??)
We are aware of multiple instances of flooding across the East Riding. Our teams have been and continue to be out working to keep residents safe along with our many partners including Humberside Police, Humberside Fire and Rescue and the Environment Agency.
We are working with partners to ensure that pumping is taking place across the East Riding at the locations in the greatest need of relief.
Our services are stretched but we are getting out to all locations.
Please advise residents to keep away from flood waters and swollen rivers, and not to drive through flood water. It is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.
Driving through flooded roads can also push water into homes.
Latest information, advice and regular updates will be shared on the East Riding of Yorkshire council website and our Facebook.
This includes advice for residents about what the council and other partners can do to help in the event of flooding, and what residents can do to help themselves and safeguard their properties.

Hope to see you there!!
On Wednesday 20th December at 6.30 pm it is the village Carol Service in St Giles's.
Would any parents be interested in putting on a Nativity Play with their children to tell the Christmas story, lasting around 10 minutes. Stephen, the vicar, is happy to include one in the service.
Depending on the age of the children, parents could help their children into place if that would help.
It would be great to have a mix of ages, may be some of the older children in the village might like to narrate the story.
We might need the following parts...
Mary
Joseph
Angel (1 or more)
Innkeeper (1 or more)
2 or more shepherds
3 (max!) kings
If you and your children are interested please let Sara know asap, thanks.
