W.I.Christmas Meeting

We’re  meeting on the 11th December at 7.30 for our Christmas get together in the Village Hall. We’ll be making a Christmas decoration involving a bottle, Christmas lights and glue, and drinking mulled wine and eating mince pies. Non members are welcome. Members are invited to bring a gift for a Riverside resident.

Notes and Minutes from NPC Meeting on 25th Nov.

Trees, a possible footpath, potholes, a possible new housing development - all these were discussed at the last Parish Council meeting. And no, the 552 won’t be running while Sedgwick Road is closed from the 2nd December for a fortnight.

Here are the Notes from Our On the Spot Reporter   and here are the Minutes

Sedgwick to Natland Road to be closed

The C5071 between Natland and Sedgwick will be closed from 2nd December for around two weeks for patching work to take place. Natland Parish Council is trying to find out what will happen to the 552 bus over this period.

Agenda for the Natland Parish Council Meeting on Monday, 25th November

Financial matters are going to be top of the Agenda at the next Parish Council meeting. Here is the Budget Statement, the Cash Statement and details of a Pay Settlement.

Next W.I. Meeting

 

We’re also having a fun game which involves bringing two quality presents and two more prosaic ones e.g a clothes peg, or a pan scrub, in a gift bag. Overall the items shouldn’t cost more than £5. Everything gets swapped around and you may go home full of pre-Christmas cheer. Or a bit disappointed.

Thank you to all the volunteers who contributed in their various ways to the success of Natland's annual craft fair on Saturday.  The event raised £814 for hall funds, and would not have been possible without your collective efforts.

Kind regards
