Kellington Village News - Summer 2008

PARISH COUNCIL
It is with much regret that the parish council note the resignation of Des Pointon.
Des has been an invaluable member of the parish council and will be sorely missed by fellow councillors and village residents.
His input into the village has been phenomenal including his part in the refurbishment of the community hall, upkeep of grass verges and reinstatement of footpaths, playing a prominent part in the opposition to the proposed eco-town, keeping a check on street lighting, erecting and decorating the village christmas tree and helping at the discos at the community hall to name but a few.
The parish council and village owe Des a real debt of gratitude and we would like to wish him lots of luck and happy holidays for the future.

We would also like to note with regret the resignation of Vic Johnson from the parish council and thank him for his invaluable input during meetings.

The parish council would also like to thank Euro Auctions for the organisation of vehicle parking at their recent sale, it was a vast improvement and a pleasure to behold.

This all costs money that could be better spent elsewhere and the people doing this damage are a minority so please be vigilant and report any vandalism, anti-social behaviour or alcohol consumption immediately and let us try and stop these few spoiling our Village.

Two issues were taken up by the group for intense targeting. These were parking in the Hut Green area of Eggborough and alcohol problems in Kellington.

Save Someone's Life ?
Me?

Yes you could save someone's life; someone you may know in your community!

It could be a relative, a friend or just someone you nod to when you meet in the street.

Why not let us train you to prevent someone from dying; the Osgoldcross Forum is looking for volunteers to train as

FIRST RESPONDERS.

What is a first responder? A first responder is trained by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service to operate defibrillation equipment.

A co-ordinator would then contact you, say once a week to find out just when you would be available to operate the defibrillation equipment if and when there was an emergency.

Interested? Then telephone the Osgoldcross Forum for further information on 01977 662270.

Make that difference and save someone's life.

VILLAGE HALL UPDATE

The good news is that the first phase of the Village Hall refurbishment is almost complete and so far consists of new ceiling, floor, fitted kitchen, total rewire, heating system, toilets and store room.
Funding recently secured from North Yorkshire Selby Area Committee will enable the fitting of a disabled toilet, staged area, extra storage room and full redecoration of the Hall interior.
The Village Hall committee are very pleased to report that the Hall is being hired on a regular basis by local people for parties etc, outside bodies for meetings, clubs and classes as well as the regular discos being run for 9-14 year olds which have been a great success. The next disco will be on Friday 13th July 7-9 pm. Admission is £1 and pop and sweets will be on sale.
Extended Schools in conjunction with School Friend will run a daily after school club during term time from September.

If you would like to hire the Hall the charges are as follows:-

LOCAL USERS - £ 7:50 PER HOUR
OTHER USERS - £ 10:50 PER HOUR
This includes 30 minutes either side of booking for setting up and clearing away.

DOWN SIDE

The bad news is that vandals continue to destroy the pipework at the rear of the Hall, which is soul destroying for the people who have worked hard to make the Hall the place that it has now become and the people who have to constantly try to repair the damage.
If you see any untoward activity at the rear of the Village Hall please contact the Police or a member of the Parish Council or Hall Committee.

ADIE'S MARATHON

This is a piece written by Bry on my behalf. Many thanks to those who took the time to sponsor me, write newsletters, come out on the day etc etc.

Cheers Adie

A great weekend was had by all in London and we would like to thank anyone who has supported Adie through his special day !
Special thanks to Becky D who became a personal tour guide on Saturday for James and I round the Natural History Museum and provided a cracking picnic on Sunday too !
To Matt Gaynor, Wiggy, Big Al and his son Billy who traipsed around the tube network trying to track Adie down and especially to Dave Woolmer who watched from the comfort of the pub next to the course ! ! !
Bry, Adie and James.

VOLUNTEERS WORK PAYS OFF

Volunteers dug to reinstate the footpath out of the village towards Eggborough which led to it being tarmacked which in turn has led to the laying of a footpath linking Kellington with Eggborough along the A645. This is great news and shows what a small group of volunteers can achieve. Well done.

Also many Thanks to Vicky McLauchlan and Diane Caine for taking on the upkeep of the village signs. If these are kept looking nice the Village looks cared for and welcoming to residents and visitors alike so well done to these two willing volunteers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It seems to be a distant memory, but the festivities around the tree went so well with over 200 people attending. The mulled wine was more potent than ever and the mince pies were excellent. The Parish Council would like to thank all those who made it such a wonderful experience. A big thank you goes to the Selby Scout and Guide Band, Keith and Pauline from the corner shop, Nigel, Charles and Jackie, Hayden and Des.

The tree stood without incident through the whole of the festive season. Next year we intend to expand the festive lighting and look at putting other lights around the village. A big thank you for sponsoring the lights goes to the Red Lion

VILLAGE HALL

The first phase of the hall refurbishment is now almost complete and the hall is now available to hire for parties, meetings etc. The hall is now double glazed and has central heating; a full electrical rewire was undertaken along with the installation of a new kitchen, new toilets, new floor and a new ceiling. Bookings have already begun to role in and the Committee would like to thank everyone for supporting them in their quest to keep the Parish Community Hall open and in regular use and fulfil the aims of the Parish Plan to make the building a focal point of our community.

There is still a lot to do and the Committee would like to thank Paul Banks and Lee Bailey who were the main contractors in this initial phase of the hall refurbishment.

The works so far have been funded by WREN and EPAC with significant contributions from local businesses including M H Poskitt Farmers, Hodges & Partner Builders, Euro Auctions and UK Coal.

So the future of the hall rests in three ways:

· The hall committee need more members to help run the hall. You won't be asked to open and lock up, but help with planning the future of the hall is needed. The committee meet monthly for a light hearted enjoyable meeting. If you are interested please contact Kath on 01977 662749.

· If you have a function or a party to plan then as a resident you receive a discount on hire fees. If you are a resident its just £7.50 an hour. The future lies in the hall being used. It's really pleasant in there now and it's going to get better and better. So come and have a look at what's happening!

· What do you want the hall to provide? The first phase has given us a sound basis to work from. It is now warm, dry, clean and safe. We need to get your feedback on what you want to see happen in the future.

THEY WILL BE BACK!

Yorkshire Water volunteer group, who did a fabulous job tidying the area around the village hall, may be back in the village to tidy the area at the back of the village green known as The Orchard. This area has been overgrown for many years and is an eyesore. Mr Guy Poskitt has been very helpful in helping us in this matter

PARISH COUNCIL ELECTIONS

Ever wondered how the Parish Council works or what they do, then now is your chance to do things the way you want in our village. The whole of the Council is up for election in May. So if you want to know more then come along and see. The Council is made up of seven residents to serve the village. There are a few Councillors who have stated they will not be standing for re election. So please find out more and help the Parish Council to help our village.

For more information contact Richard Fogden Clerk to the Parish Council by either calling 01977 702097 or email Arrky@aol.com

NO ALCOHOL ZONE IS WORKING

Following a number of complaints regarding youths in our village drinking on the green and around the village hall, the Police have responded and confiscated alcohol and warned the offenders that further breaches of the zone will result in prosecution. So now it's working so please keep reporting these the incidents to the Police on 0845 6060247.

COMMUNITY GOVERNOR

Kellington Primary School is looking for somebody to join their Governing Body as a Community Governor. The role of Community Governor is someone who would represent the community interests, be committed to the good governance and success of the school and become a 'critical friend'. A Community Governor should not have a child at the school. Full Governor Meetings are held once each term and sub-committee meetings (the joining of which is personal choice) are held at regular intervals. If you would be interested in taking on this fulfilling role please telephone the Head Teacher, Penny Percival, on 01977 661127.

October 2006

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE IDIOTIC
Let's start off with the bad - Vandalism in the village was the usual list of bus shelter glass smashed twice in a week, goal posts stolen, seals removed from the bus shelters, workmen's toilet continually knocked over and damaged, cans and rubbish left littering the village hall and green.

Now the Good - We would really like to thank all of those villagers that spend time picking up the litter and rubbish from the footpaths and the village green and thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help improve our village.

Now for the Idiotic - It is ok to think you can get away with things if you are a bit intelligent, however, when you smear pizza and chips over the bus shelters and the village hall it would be a really good idea to make sure that the delivery note with your name and address on is not left with the empty boxes!! So yes we do know who you are and we also know who removed the seals from the bus shelter.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
Please affix stickers into your windows and report anything suspicious on 0845 6060247. This number will put you through to the Control Room at York, who will then guide you through to Selby Police Station. We will be setting up a Neighbourhood Watch Programme in our village shortly. Watch village notice boards for further information.

CAROLS ROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Yes, we know it is only October but it is fast approaching that time of year and our excuse is that they have been selling mince pies in Asda since August! We are pleased to announce that with the support of the Guides, Browines and Rainbows and the Selby Scout and Guide Band, our annual Carols around the Christmas Tree will be held on Friday 1 December at 7.00 pm. Mulled wine and mince pies will be available and we look forward to seeing you there.

NEWS FROM THE GUIDES
Firstly our congratulations go to Jackie Burkhill who has been appointed as District Commissioner for our area for the Guides, Brownies and Rainbows. This appointment is for three years and is well deserved for Jackie's tireless work to support this wonderful movement that is so popular within our village. Once again well done Jackie.

Three of our Guides have received a letter from Buckingham Palace congratulating them on their efforts to illustrate a book mark to support the Guides Go For It Peace Initiative. They were Elizabeth and Victoria Appleyard and Kate Turton.

The Guides have adopted the planters around the village this autumn as part of their Community Action Plan. This is just another demonstration of the wonderful work this group do within our community.

KEEP THE CAR AT HOME MUM
Kellington Primary School has had fitted a cycle rack to encourage children to use alternative means of transport to school. You may have seen our youngsters training for their cycling proficiency award. This is to ensure they are safe on the roads in our village.

A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE SCHOOL
B&Q have donated £270.00 worth of materials to the school that will be used in the construction of the Global Awareness Garden. This environmental project will teach children about the sustainability and environmental impact will have on our planet. Other activities in the Global Awareness Garden are the construction of butterfly and bird boxes t
