Editorial: what strange weather we are having—one day bright and sunny, the next grey and drizzly. There is a maroon coloured hollyhock just outside my north facing front door which is in flower and still opening buds—very odd. May I thank all of the contributors to the magazine this year — I am hearing that people are enjoying the magazine. May I also thank those who advertise with us—supporting the magazine in the village hall in that way. If you do use the please tell them where you saw the adverts as without their support the magazine would not exist. May I also thank all of those who keep our village going - I won’t list them as I wouldn't want to miss anyone out! Most, but not all, are listed at the back. Do let me know if there is anything you would like included in the maga- zine next this year. We keep being advised of snow to come—so far it has not reached us. Stay warm and try to not let the pressures of this winter season get to you. Maybe we can get out and enjoy a little sunshine when it appears. Very best wishes for 2019.

Chairman’s Report I would like to end 2018 and welcome in 2019 by offering a big thank you to all those who made the effort to attend the concert and the quiz at the village hall. The concert was wonderful with the Preston St Mary pop up choir and the amaz- ing voice of Gina Silburn entertaining us all. The quiz was excellently put together and delivered by Sara and John Warboys and raised around £100 for the hall. However, it is sad that so many in this village failed to support these events that were designed to help keep the village hall open and to offer entertainment to the residents of Lawshall. I was told a story by one of our committee who was speaking to a neighbour about the concert. The neighbour said they didn’t even know it was happening. When advised that it had been advertised in the village magazine and on posters around the village and that pamphlets had been put through every door, the neighbour simply replied “I don’t read those”. Sadly, I feel that our village is be- coming a dormitory village where residents are happy just to lock themselves away in their homes, oblivious to the needs of the community and the opportuni- ties available to play an active part in village life. We have already lost our village shop through lack of support. How long before the village hall and the village pub are also lost? So let’s look at the New Year and make a conscious effort to support the village we live in and help it to thrive by simply attending local events and using the village pub. Finally, another big thank you to all the committee members at the village hall who have worked tirelessly to keep things running, especially Karen Wilcox who has been a massive support in the running of the Christmas events and to Jenna Kitchen for her hard work in producing the village magazine. I wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year.

Dorothy Griggs Parish Clerk 01284 830813 What a wonderful evening's entertainment we enjoyed at the 'Evening of Seasonal Lights and Music' at the Village Hall on Friday 30th November. From the switching on of the lights and carols around the tree to the Preston St Mary Pop Up Choir, beauti- fully led by Lyn Davis, then being treated to the fantastic voice of Gina Cristallino, it was a joy- ful few hours for us. We were also provided with refreshments by the W.I which were very wel- come. A big 'thank you' to the Committee and all other helpers who made this such a great success. 9 W A T E R S O N Plumbing & Heating All Domestic Plumbing Work Undertaken Full Bathroom Installation and Tiling Service Oil Appliance Commissioning, Servicing, Repair / Replacement Domestic & Non-domestic Oil Storage and Supply Installation Central Heating Installations Unvented Cylinders Installed References Available on Request OFTEC Registered Technician No. 28970 Home 01359 760528 Mobile: 07828639138Email: Jer- [email protected] Website: watersonplumbing.com 10 PLANNING ISSUES: Planning Applications received: Application No. DC/18/04252: Coldham Cottage, Bury Road: part change of use from residential to place of worship.
