November News – Remembrance Service, Leisure Centre Volunteers Needed and Cedric

/in /by
“Dear Parishioners of Breighton & Bubwith
 
It’s hard to believe that some folk think the Bugle is getting a bit long in tooth! They’d like it to be short and snappy with items at 250 words max.
 
Ever keen to oblige, the few things to cover this month are:
 
Firstly, thank you to folk who took the time to support benches around the parish. We are exploring putting seats in the bus shelters first with further consideration of other places to follow.
 
Secondly, new volunteer members are being sought to join the Bubwith Leisure and Sports Centre Committee, I do hope people will be encouraged to put themselves forward.
 
Most importantly! I can’t let November pass without commenting on the amazing turnout for the Remembrance Sunday service. The occasion was rightly sombre and sad remembering those who gave their lives on our behalf, family members and friends who have served and been lost to us over several generations. The sense of pride and gratitude was evident among the people who stood and paid homage, the last post and fly past were particularly touching, thank you to all concerned.
 
Finally, looking ahead. I have received word from Cedric, Chief Elf to Father Christmas. The Christmas post box will soon be in place and Cedric has made a plea to children and parents alike to include a clear name and return address on any letters posted to prevent disappointment.
 
Thank you for your kind attention, please feel free to make contact if you wish to raise anything with the Parish Council.

Plans for The Bubwith Daily Mile and Children’s Cycling Area in Jeopardy

/in /by
Official statement from the Bubwith Leisure and Sports Centre Committee Chair, Dr. Richard Moore.
“Plans for The #Bubwith Daily Mile and Children’s Cycling Area in Jeopardy
You may remember from previous issues our plans to establish a perimeter track around the playing field for a track for walking, running and cycling, leading to a pump track, BMX style, and cycling proficiency area at the southern end of the field for our parish children. There would be low-level illumination around the artificial grass track, and an extended terrace as part of the scheme. The football and cricket pitches would be re-positioned a little further south to accommodate these improvements, all part of the scheme for which we have so far raised £130,000 in external grants which are specific to these projects
Sadly for the scheme, the cricket club has, through the cricket authorities, raised an objection to the changes to the cricket pitch, an integral part of the scheme and which we see as an improvement. They would only be “losing” a two-foot strip of the outfield from the longer eastern boundary where it would be replaced by the artificial grass of the track. It is only used a few evenings a year for home matches, whereas the proposal would be available year-round.
A remote meeting is planned and we hope to convince the cricket authorities of the advantages of our plans for the cricket field and persuade them to drop their objection and embrace the rest of the plans which were developed in response to the survey we conducted in the 2020 lockdown and to which some of you will have contributed. The improvements proposed would benefit the whole village, all ages and sexes included.
Without a change of heart then, the whole scheme falls over, including the cycle area, and the grant money promised is lost, we think this would be a great shame. I am very happy to discuss any details with any interested party. The plans are available to view on the East Riding planning department site, reference 21/01907/PLF. If any of you wish to express views please log in to the East Riding of Yorkshire website and enter the reference to make your comment.
Alternatively email our volunteer treasurer Steve Young, who is also Clerk to the Parish Council who support the scheme. <> will forward your comments. The current committee is very demotivated by the probable loss of the scheme and would really value your support.
