Village Hall Committee- Volunteers Needed

On behalf of the Village Hall Committee I would like to bring to your attention that in recent years we have sadly lost several committee members due to retirement. We are now in a position where we are desperate for help with some of the key roles such as Deputy Chair and Treasurer. We still have a very committed group of volunteers who are always on had to do almost all the work required to keep the Hall running.

If you could spare a few hours a months to help with some of these roles we would welcome you with open arms.

Please feel free to pop along to one of our next meetings which are on 28th May and 19th August at the Hall both at 7:30pm

If you would like further information about the roles please feel free to contact me If you would like further information about the roles please feel free to contact me on 01759 380937
Alternatively why not have a chat with some of the present volunteers such as Anne White, John Short, Fiona Davies and Caroline Hall.

De-Fib Appeal

De-Fib Appeal – 13th June 2012

Following on from our introduction courses held in the village hall last year to the benefits of owning Defibrillator’s in our villages.

Now we would like to install a CPad (community Public Access Defibrillation) one in Claxton and one in Sand Hutton that could be used 24/7/365. The cabinets will be wall mounted, one in Claxton, one in Sand Hutton, there will be easy access to them and will only be abled to be opened by access code given by the emergency services via a 999 call. (www.communityheartbeat.org.uk)

WHY
Because we want to ensure that anyone suffering a heart attack, who has only 4 or 5 minutes gets the best treatment. It can take 8 minutes for an emergency medical team to arrive in our villages, thats in a clear traffic situation!

HOW
We start our appeal to-day, we need £4,000 to cover the cost of purchasing them and having them installed. We are writing appeal letters to North Yorkshire County Council, The Parish Council, Rotary Clubs, Community Heartbeat Development Fund and others you may suggest.

WHEN
Would you like to donate – please pop your donation in an envelope (cheques made payable to C & SH Parish Council “DEFIB APPEAL”

Thank You for Apples from Samson the Pig

Jennie Whiteley from Vicarage Farm would like to thank everyone who brought apples up for Samson the hungry pig. Jennie was delighted by the response and couldn’t believe how kind people were. The pigs were even more grateful when Myrtle, having farrowed, lost her appetite and would not eat, but was able to munch apples and soon was back to health – we don’t think Samson was too pleased about sharing though!
Thank you from Jen and pigs

Apple Appeal!

Have you any left over apples? Jennie Whiteley is interested in your left over apples to feed a fussy young pig. One of her young boars really does not like his usual pig fodder but he does like apples! It does not matter if the apples are soft or past their best – piggy will scoff them. So if some of your stored apples are heading towards the compost heap, think of a hungry young pig….

Jennie can be contacted on 468222 or drop off apples at Vicarage Farm up Kirk Balk Lane, Claxton.
Thank you.
