This includes the Scarecrow Trail being extended to include as far as Ferry View and in the opposite direction, Ryehill and Bridge Bungalows – so watch this space!!!!! A lot of work goes in to organising an event such as this, especially behind the scenes and thanks are due to all the people involved in this event – I don’t want to mention individual people for fear of missing anyone out, but a big WELL DONE is due to the committee, chaired by Denise Hardy, and everyone else involved. A full list of winners for the Village Show and also the Scarecrow Trail are on the Parish Council website at: www.thorngumbaldparishcouncil.co.uk/gala-and-scarecrow-trail.aspx and you can also see a message from the winning scarecrow ‘Scare-Dee-Crow’ for all those who wrote to him. There was also a very successful Garden Party in Ryehill on 27 July at the home of Charlie and Judy Smales, which raised £1300 for the ‘Friends of Ryehill Village Hall’ and which was opened by Keith Tindall, ex Hull FC and International rugby player. Keith kindly donated two tickets to a home match at the KC Stadium, photos and information about this and all future events can also be seen on the Parish Council’s website at: www.thorngumbaldparishcouncil.co.uk/friends-of-ryehill-village-hall.aspx The ‘Friends of Ryehill Village Hall are organising many events to get the hall back into use and a team of volunteers have recently redecorated the inside of the hall – a big thanks goes to all who cleaned and painted the hall. Events include a fortnightly ‘Craft Group’ and monthly ‘Farmyard Bingo’ as well as a big ‘Auction’ on 1 November by Tim Fussey and entertainment by the Stoney Creek Boys, so watch out for posters advertising this. Due to ill health, Cllr Ian Jackson has not been as actively involved in the Parish Meetings – Members would like to send him their very best wishes and look forward to seeing him back at the meetings soon Many of you will have noticed a change as you drive into the village from Hedon; East Riding of Yorkshire Council has planted large areas of wild flowers at a cost of £2,000. We are told that these will take time to mature and are assured that next year they will be a spectacular sight. On a more serious note, the Parish Council is revising its Emergency Plan in readiness for winter. This is about how our parish would be affected when something out of the ordinary happens that disrupts everyday life, and putting effective measures in place so that people in our community can get back to normal as quickly as possible. No one can predict when something like this can happen but our Emergency Plan means that we can be prepared. We have an emergency team ready to deal with emergencies and we also have a lot of information on our website available for download. More details will be included in our December issue of the Parish Journal. All that remains is for me to hope that the summer lasts as long as possible for everyone.
