For more information contact me on 01724 297631 Christine Johnson, Health Walk Coordinator 2 Worlaby Views New Year 2012 NORTH LINCS COUNCIL WINTER SERVICE POLICY Following the severe weather event that we experienced in November/December 2010, North Lincolnshire Council (NLC) has developed a Winter Service Policy, after a wide ranging consultation exercise, which it is anticipated will provide improvements to the service to overcome issues which arose last year. NLC has increased its salt stock and they have some 5,300 tonnes available. A revised road salting regime is to be introduced covering precautionary and & Neighbourhood Our Village secondary routes. The Parish Council will be provided with 2 tonnes of additional salt and extra salt bins which you will already have seen around the village. A number of contractors/farmers in the parish have registered to carry out snow clearing work and NLC has allocated a fixed budget for the Parish Council to pay for this work to be done locally The Parish Council has appointed a Snow Warden, Deb Hotson, to authorise and activate contractors to carry out snow clearance in our parish. This gives a brief overview of significantly improved operational measures put in place to manage a severe weather event more effectively than last year. If you would like to volunteer to help clear the snow in and around the village please contact me and I will collate a list of volunteers. A list of priority areas will be identified and the volunteers will be contacted in the event of heavy snow fall. Deb Hotson, Parish Clerk (0784 2201877) RETRO HOUSEHOLD TIPS Warm a cup of milk then soak your hands for five minutes. The high calcium content helps to strengthen nails. Smarten up your patios this winter by using a white vinegar spray to kill those weeds. A freshly cut onion will eradicate the smell of fresh paint. Wall paper stripping will be easier if a tablespoon of baking soda is mixed in with the water. Banish tea and coffee stains from crockery by using a little white vinegar. 100 CLUB WINNERS The winners of the October draw were 1st Prize Ruth Empson (No. 2) and 2nd Prize – Marjorie & Geoffrey Ward (No. 6). 100 Club November Draw.

Worlaby Views New Year 2012 3 PAMPERING AND DANCING WITH THURSDAY GROUP The Thursday Group has enjoyed two wonderful, friendly evenings during the Autumn. On 20th October the Village Hall was packed to see Katie and Jo demonstrating ‘Relaxation in the comforts of your own home’. It was a fascinating evening – particularly to those of us that have never visited a beauty parlour before (me included). If you’re stressed and tired, Katie’s massages using Swedish and deep tissue techniques will have you saying goodbye to stress and hello to pure relaxation. Feeling a bit winter-pale? Katie can do a streak free tan with anti- cellulite ingredients that will not only make you look fabulous but feel it too. She can transform your eyebrows by tinting or waxing them – and can wax anywhere else on the body that may need it! And don’t think the men need miss out – they can also have a bit of male waxing… We all enjoyed Katie’s talk and demonstration and would like to thank her and Jo for coming to see us. Having got to grips with beauty treatments in October, in November we were joined by seven ladies from Whitton. We had a packed evening including a spot of zumba dancing, led by Jo, and a very interesting talk from Julie Levson who is the manager of our local Oxfam shop in Brigg. She told us about where our money goes when we support Oxfam. I think we will all think twice now before throwing something out as everything they get will be used for the benefit of others, not just abroad but in our country too. We were 30 in all – a very good turn out – and as usual we had a fantastic supper, with the Whitton ladies bringing us puddings which were really delicious, and the Worlaby ladies bringing savoury dishes, and a little glass of wine to wash Thursday Group it all down. Another great night! Lis Owen The photo shows Jo and Katie with two of our Thursday group members.

Lit by candles, oil lamps and fairy lights, the Church looked beautiful – the perfect setting for such a special concert. With a generous raffle and a lovely supper including mulled wine, homemade Worlaby bread (thanks to Meg and John and the Hindles) and mince pies, this was a great evening’s entertainment which raised £418 to be split between St Clement’s Church and Worlaby Views.
