Annual Parish Meeting – Monday 8th April

All are welcome to come to the Annual Parish Meeting on Monday 8th April 2013 which will start at 7.30pm. It will be held in the Sand Hutton Village Hall. This meeting is organised by the Parish Council but it is open for all electors within Claxton and Sand Hutton to come along and discuss priorities for the villages.

The Parish Council will outline the main issues from 2012/13 and then there will be a chance to discuss the coming year. What matters to you – Litter, bus services, play areas, snow clearing (see photo of snowy Whinny Lane!), potholes, grass verges, pathways, policing, community events? A key topic that we would like to consider is what involvement residents would like to have in the sporting events that will pass through the villages eg the marathon/ cycling events.

After the Annual Parish Meeting, there will be a shortened (phew) regular Parish Council meeting to discuss current issues, planning, finances etc.

Red Nose Bake Sale – A Tasty Result

What a cracking event last Saturday in aid of the Red Nose appeal!  A team of indomitable villagers got together a few weeks ago to organsise this event, and baked their hearts out to delight those who turned up to eat, donate and buy the produce.

On the day yet more Parishioners brought along their baking, the tables were full, but not for long.  The team provided drinkies and what a load of grins there were.

The competition for the funniest cake was split into adults and children, the winners are pictured below, do they look happy or what?

A brief auction cleared out the remaining stock after an assortment was taken to sell at the Chuch on Sunday.

The total taken in the Village Hall was just over £430, there was a further £25 from the Church sale and the total was made up to £500 for the cause.

Congratulations and thanks to all who took part.
