24 1 Parish Council Notes The Parish Council met in October and November and also during the two months attended the WI Action Meeting held in Stallingborough and the Town and Parish Liaison Meeting held with NELC and also sent a representative to the ERNLLCA Annual Conference in Hull. The Parish is also usually represented at the Chemical Focus Liaison Panel.

The Parish Council has now had its war memorial installed in the WI Community Garden and a small service was held on Remembrance Day with the Council laying a wreath on behalf of the residents of Stallingborough. Thanks to the WI for liaising with us on this project, to Mariner Groundworks for preparing the site and to Serenity Me- morials for the provision and installation of the memorial.

Parish Council Meetings are always held at 7.30 pm at the Village Hall Lounge area to the rear of the Hall, on the second Wednesday of each month and there is always a public session for residents to speak on issues which they wish to bring before the Parish Council. Any ques- tions or items for the Agenda should be e.mailed to the Parish Clerk at least a week before each meeting or you should come along and raise them at the meeting itself.

6 19 Hello Everyone, It may have been a ‘senior moment’ but somehow I man- aged to send the wrong article to Kathy last time so that’s why you may have had a déjà vu moment when reading the W.I. piece!! Hopefully I shall attach the correct article this time! We had a brilliant outing to Sledmere House in July. The weather was perfect, the house fascinating and the gar- dens beautiful. Most of us went on a guided tour of the house in to groups. When we met up and the end of the tours one of the guides played ‘Jerusalem’ on the house organ – it was amazing and we sang with gusto despite the goosebumps. Our Summer Supper, celebrating our 95th birthday in Au- gust, was a lovely relaxing evening. We just ate, drank and talked (we’re quite good at the talking bit). Christine’s hus- band Andy took a group photo – a copy of which is now under the clock in the village hall. ‘Next of the Summer Wine’ were very entertaining at our Harvest Supper, as the saying goes ‘a good time was had by all’. Bob Swallow was also very entertaining when he told us about growing old disgracefully.

Fire Safety was the subject at our November meeting. Cheryl from Humberside Fire service gave us a talk about the safety precautions to take in our homes to prevent fires The Parish Council would like to wish its residents a starting. Her laptop wouldn’t work in the village hall so she couldn’t show us the presentation she had prepared. After very Merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosper- she’d finished her talk she answered members’ questions. ous 2018. Our meeting on December 7th is a Christmas craft evening and Faith Supper.
