CAN YOU HELP? On 9th December John Morison placed in Hallaton Church, his three volumes of “Hallaton in the Great War , Service and Sacrifice” for filming by ITV and when he went to collect them several days later they had gone.

HALLATON PARISH COUNCIL                                 Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan                       !           Council has advised that approval has been given for Regulation 16          "           Consultation on the Submission Hallaton Neighbourhood Plan by the Portfolio Holder and                 Head of Planning, to commence on Wednesday 22 Jan 2020 to Wednesday 4 March           2020.     #$%%%%%$&&'(   )   $%%   *                # * Consultation packs will be available in the following locations: 

- The School between the hours of 3-3.45 weekdays in term-time

- The Church when open during the day

- The Green Room at the Stenning Hall between 3 - 4pm each Monday

- The Bewicke Arms

- The Fox Inn

All relevant documents are also available on the County Council Communities website: https://www.leicestershirecommunities.org.uk/np/hallatonnp.html

Once the consultation period is completed, Harborough District Council will send the Plan, all related documents, and the comments received to an External Examiner. Additional changes are then likely to be made, before all Parishioners who are registered to vote will get the chance to vote in favour or against the final version of the Neighbourhood Plan. This is likely to be in the middle of 2020.

at the Stenning Hall, 7:30 p.m. Saturday 25th January 2020

The band is booked, the whiskey is maturing quietly and the haggis have been rounded up and are being fattened for the event! Now is the time to book your place and have a fun and festive party in the cold dark days that will arrive in the New Year. Bottle Kicking Fund Raiser There will be the usual Burn’s night staples, with food, music, drinking, pipes and dancing. This will be a fun, village event, open to all.

Tickets are £240 for a table of 8 or £35 individually; see if you can gather up your family and friends to make up your own table. If you are interested in coming contact Steve for tickets!

Keeping Bottle Kicking going requires a flow of money each year, typically about £3,500. The aim of the Bottle Kicking Committee is to try and raise more than that and then distribute any extra to local causes in Hallaton and Medbourne, but sadly there has been no surplus for some years. Let’s make this year a good one for both Bottle Kicking and other village organisations. This is the second Bottle Kicking Burns Night; there were many good things about last year’s event, but also some things that could be improved. This year we have increased the availability of tickets, have a different band and hopefully will increase the profitability of the event.
