To keep this magazine fresh and bright, I have a few new ideas up my sleeve which I shall be introducing gradually. One such idea is to have a ‘Favourite Things’ page, where I find someone in the village to reveal what some of their favourite things are, like album, film, book, food, etc... with an explanation of why. If you would like to feature in this, then please send me an email. I find it fascinating what people are into and what they like. Anyway, back to the here and now, and this issue, we have a couple of football-themed articles, a feature on Normanby Hall Country Park, an update on the Village Hall and all the usual bits and pieces, like Gardening Club and the Lockdown column. It’s also disappointing to report, though, that vandalism has reared its ugly head in the village. Feel flows.

www.pawsitive-pet-sitting.co.uk October 2020 http://parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk/Sudbrooke/ 3 TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF SUDBROOKE n By Peter Heath, Sudbrooke Parish Council chairman Many of you may wonder what has become of the Parish Council since the initial spread of the Covid-19 virus. Well, we’re still here carrying out our duties within the limits set by the Government. We are advised, in the main, by the Lincolnshire Association of Local Councils, LALC, an umbrella organisation that provides guidance and advice on all aspects of public service. The Government-imposed lockdown meant we were not able to meet as a council, but we could carry out our duties, provided our actions were agreed by the PC using other methods. We chose to use emails to arrive at collective decisions. We have met once since March when we held our meeting in the Village Hall car park. We were able to ratify decisions already taken to comply with our legal duties. Life continues despite the virus. The grass cutting continues, routine inspections of play equipment and bills for services have to be paid, cheques signed and sent out to contractors engaged on your behalf for many duties. We also continue to advise WLDC on planning applications and notify them of any violations. We respond when notified of danger by members of the public and take action to try to neutralise a threat. We have taken the decision to order the Christmas tree for the annual event in the hope that we have some return to normality before Christmas. The latest increase in Covid-19 infections is going to mean a difficult time for us all. It is up to each of us to act responsibly to minimise the danger to ourselves and others. The Parish Council will continue to act on your behalf and are available at the end of the telephone or email. 4 http://parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk/Sudbrooke/ October 2020 PARISH COUNCIL REPORT SUDBROOKE PC REPORT – BY CHRIS MYERS, PARISH CLERK Decisions made since Parish Council Mrs C Myers – Expenses July 2020 £28.38 meeting held on July 2 2020, as per Parish Magazine Printing minute 11 – 20/21 Sudbrooke News £221.63 w Mrs Anna Fane – purchase of box for food 1) Aug 5: To refer the matter of overhanging bank station = trees onto the bus shelter/verge/footway on Net £21.99, VAT £4.40, Gross £26.39 Road from property on Lane Cllr Cottam – mileage claim £7.20 to LCC Highways. w Mrs Coral Evans – preservative for wood 2) July 22: Agreement to purchase a carvings and village sign = replacement seat for Fox Covert. w Net £67.10, VAT £13.42, Gross £80.52 3) July 27: TPO application – 041604 - Land Mrs B Solly – Expenses April – July (incl) 2020 adjacent to 19 Manor Drive.

VANDALSDamage to Tennis Court Over the summer, the tennis net was left in situ to enable residents to enjoy a knock about if they wanted and to make use of the area. However, to prevent anyone enjoying the court, vandalism has occurred, with the tennis net post being wrenched out of the tarmac resulting in the tennis court having to be locked. The cost of the repair to the surface of the tennis court is circa £350.00 from parish funds.

ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR It has also come to our attention that a bunch of youths have been seen hanging around the village in the evening, leaving a pungent waft of something or other in the air (no prizes for guessing what). Lads with mopeds and bikes, have been congregating in a sizeable group in various parts of the village, and have even been spotted ‘enjoying a night out’ in the dumped caravan in the woods, off Main Drive. Residents need to be vigilant and report anything untoward to the local police or our neighbourhood PCSO Jackie Parker. She can be contacted on 07973 842368, while Community Beat Manager is PC Rachel Harrison, 07976 946506.

RAISING FUNDS FOR ANTHONY NOLAN & CLIC SARGENT Dear Sudbooke Residents certainly have proved very popular and I am organising a raffle to be drawn on helped us to raise much needed funds during November 27 at the Bottle & Glass in these difficult times. Scothern, in aid of two great charities who With thanks and best wishes have helped many families in Lincolnshire. Julie Cook 01673 866633 Anthony Nolan find donors for children [email protected] and adults needing life-saving stem cell transplants and they also give financial support and carry out groundbreaking research. CLIC Sargent give help to families when their child is diagnosed with cancer, from financial help and advice to specialist nursing care and accommodation for families during treatment. I was saddened to read that CLIC Sargent received no funds from the Government charity allocation during the pandemic. This is a disaster for the charity who need funds now more than ever so I will split all proceeds from our raffle between the two great causes. Tickets are £1 each and details of the draw and how to purchase are on the poster on page 23. I am happy to deliver tickets to Sudbrooke and surrounding areas, just contact me to arrange. I also have a lovely selection of greetings cards available and happy to email the selection to anyone wishing to view.
