Parish Council News The Parish Council Meeting on 14th December 2007 was attended by Cllrs D Weston (Chairman), D Wooles (Vice Chairman), Mrs P Bean, Mrs J Calvert, B Parkinson and I Read. Clerk BC Taylor

6 members of the public were present

Young People in the Area: Unfortunately no young people attended the meeting despite an expression of interest from a number of them. Congratulations were offered through the Chair to Melanie Hunt, who was present, for her success in getting the Youth Shelter installed and operational. An interest has been expressed for a skate park. The idea had been considered, along with an all weather pitch, about 3 - 4 years ago but was abandoned because of lack of interest within the Community. The land originally considered is now occupied by the Youth Shelter. It was agreed that the young people should be invited again next autumn, probably in September after the school holidays. The Chairman stressed that they would be welcome and Parish Councillors would make time for them at any Parish Council Meeting.

Appointment of the Handyman:

Mr Keith Armitage was introduced to the Meeting. The Chairman explained in general terms what the job entailed. Mr Armitage agreed to take it on and the Clerk will write to him formally offering the job and setting out the terms.

Vacancy of the Office of Parish Councillor:

It was proposed and seconded that Nigel Anfield should be co-opted as a Parish Councillor. The motion was unanimously approved.

Condition of the Ginnel by the Primary School:

NYCC have accepted responsibility for the Ginnel. They will carry out some temporary repairs to the surface now and re-surface the entire passage-way in Spring.

Christmas Lights: The switching on ceremony took place in bad weather. There was, as a result, a very low attendance and no bucket collection. A Notice will be placed in the Village News asking for donations. The possibility of trimming the tree in the square or replacing it with a smaller one will be investigated as well as purchasing a new set of lights. The lights will be switched off on 6th January 2008.

Village of the Year Competition:

A Meeting has taken place at YRCC to consider the dates for next year. An announcement will be made in the New Year.

Planning Applications: 07/01012/FUL: Mr & Mrs Jeffrey: Erection of a 2 bedroom dwelling (revised details to refusal of 07/00261/FUL dated 21/5/07: Land adjacent to Holly Tree Cottage, Coble Lane, Sheriff Hutton, York. After a site meeting Councillors agreed to support the application in its present form.

07/01054/FUL: Morse Coaches: Erection of extension to existing industrial unit: Morse Coaches, 25 Sheriff Hutton Industrial Estate, Y060 6RZ After a site meeting Councillors agreed to support the application in its present form.

Appeal Reference: APP/Y2736/A/07/2045179: Mr & Mrs Phillips: Golden Fields House, Sutton Road, Strensall. Notification of Appeal dismissal

07/01043/FUL: Sheriff Hutton Bridge Cricket Club. Erection of two single storey extensions and glazed front canopy to cricket pavilion together with a detached machinery store. Councillors agreed to support the application in its present form.

Recycling: An enquiry will be made of Ryedale DC regarding its plans for recycling of plastic bottles and cardboard. The response will be published in the Village News.

Next Parish Council Meeting: Will be held on Friday 11th January 2008 at 7.30pm in the Village

Hall.

Christmas Tree Lights Thank you so much to all those people who braved the rain to watch the lights being turned. Because of the rain the ceremony was much shorter than normal but everyone entered into the spirit. Thank you to Father Christmas for calling in to switch the lights on. Normally we have a bucket collection which helps to offset the costs of replacement light bulbs and repairs but because of the bad weather this did not happen. However, if you enjoy the lights and would like to make a contribution to the costs, donations can be dropped in at Penny Bean‟s home at Midway, Main Street, or given to any of the Parish Councillors. Thank you. Happy New Year to you all.

Sheriff Hutton Bowling Club We have an Extraordinary General Meeting in the clubhouse on Thursday, January 10 th at 7 pm. All members are urged to attend this very important meeting.

The first bingo evening of the New Year will be on Friday, January 18 th in the Village Hall at 7.30 pm. There will be the usual good prizes on offer – everybody welcome at this fun evening.

An early notification : The Jumblies are very kindly going to host a jumble sale for the club on February 16th. Please keep the date free and look out for your good quality jumble for us; we need your help!

Finally, a happy and healthy New Year to all.

Sheriff Hutton Mast Protest Group Thanks again to all those who supported the “Cream Tea” party at the Mast.

We have since seen our MP Mr John Greenway to press him on what action he proposes to take on our behalf. We can advise that he has agreed to take this up with Orange again and to raise the matter in the House of Commons.

We hope this will further our campaign for the relocation of the mast.

United Christian Churches Committee New Year Party Saturday 5th January 2008 Party invitations should have been delivered after Christmas. We do hope you‟ll be able to join us! We had record numbers attending last year so are hoping for another big turnout in 2008. If you have not received your invitation by 2nd January, please contact Jill Johnson.

After a warm welcome and a glass of sherry (or orange juice) guests are served a delicious tea followed by entertainment. There is a vegetable quiche available for vegetarians and fruit salad for diabetics. Any offers of help?

Offers of transport are also needed to help with ferrying guests to and from the party, and to deliver teas out to those unable to attend because of illness. Even one trip can make a big difference. Please contact Howard Maw.

Gifts of cakes and pastries for the party are always very much appreciated and can be left at the Hall between10am and 12noon, after 2pm, or with a committee member.

Message from the Jumblies A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.

We had a very wonderful and successful 2007. Thank you to everyone for your support.

Our November Sale in aid of the School PTFA raised a fantastic £1,435. A brilliant effort considering the short time the PTFA had to make arrangements. Thank you to everyone who donated goods to the sale. This brought our total for the year to £15,031, a new record.

The January Sale will be on 12th January at 2pm and will be in aid of the NSPCC. We hope we can look forward to your continuing support.

Wesley Guild 2008 This year we celebrate 40 years since the Re-formation of the Guild after a space of many years, including the Second World War. On Monday January 7th the speaker will be the Rev. Derek Bailey who has been an Army Chaplain for 35 years. Then on Monday, January 14th we welcome Bernard and Barbara Walker who have given us many programmes over recent years. This time it is called “A Picture Evening”. Again, a well known local person Robin Wardell, who has not only appeared on Television as a Gravedigger, but will tell us stories connected with his work on January 21st. Many people know Dr. Donaldson as a local Doctor, but we have invited him to the Guild to tell us of his Mission to Uganda. The date Monday January 28th. It is interesting to note most members are sitting ready for the starting time of 7.30pm – a good indication of the popularity of the Guild, an appreciation of the speakers and the fellowship enjoyed by all.

Sheriff Hutton Archive Group Are you interested in local history? Do you have a computer and scanner? If the answer is yes to both of these questions then come along to the Village Hall at 7.00pm on 21 February 2008 and see if you can help out on a new local history project!

There is a vast amount of local interest documents currently stored in a variety of places such that they are essentially inaccessible – the formation of this group is intended to address this issue and to make available to any interested parties a CD or DVD ROM with as such of this information as possible. It is envisaged that this disc would be of use to the local school, to historians and to residents past and present.

The bulk of this archive was collected together by the late Mr Alan Farnaby and is in need of urgent attention – many of the documents are faded and it is vital that they be recorded as soon as possible.

Due to the sheer volume of documents to be scanned/copied the more people involved the better so please make the effort to come along and see if you are interested in helping out. If you are unable to attend but would like to be involved, please contact Alan Pitman at the village shop.

Playgroup News A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported playgroup‟s fundraising this Christmas! We started with a very successful Toy Fair, raising over £850. There were some really good quality toys and other items donated, thank you, and good old Father Christmas was ably supported by a great group of elves! We also sold over 600 tickets for our prize draw raffle (with over 30 prizes donated, thanks to the letter-writing skills of Anne Brown). Not bad when you remember we only have 33 children at playgroup! Add to this Lisa and Keith‟s Christmas Treasure Hunt around the village and we‟ve made a really positive impact on the playgroup‟s finances. A special thank you to Youthworks, who made a donation towards the cost of the hall hire at the Toy Fair as a gesture of support.

Mid Week Ramble Remember your new year resolution to take more exercise ? Well, here‟s a help. Meet the ramblers On Wednesday 30th January at 9.30 a.m. at the Village Hall car park. Walk about 4 – 5 miles and then a pub lunch at the end, or just a snack if that‟s what you fancy. You will be very welcome. Please come with suitable footwear and clothing for the weather.

Thanks Once again, many thanks to all of you who take your used stamps to the Post Office for Diabetic Research. I take them for sorting to a lady on Stockton Road who does this, and is very pleased to do it as she has Diabetes herself. Alan and Gilly – a big thank you for keeping the box. Janet.

Sheriff Hutton Primary School PTFA – Thank Yous! Firstly thank you to Penny Bean and the Jumblies for all the hard work put into the November jumble sale. The Jumblies together with the PTFA raised over £1400 which will go towards buying the much needed awnings for the front classrooms. Secondly thank you to all those that helped and supported our first annual Christmas Fair. The evening went extremely well; we had a wide range of stalls selling lots of lovely crafts and gifts, a mouth watering menu of food and a well stocked bar! We raised over £500 which will go towards new playground markings, study skills work shops for year 6 and school trips. We hope to repeat the event next year; if you have any suggestions for improvements please let Lara Willan know. Lastly, thank you to all the PTFA members who have helped throughout the last year. Many of us feel we live at the Village hall! However, the amount of money raised is well worth all the hard work, weekends given up, sleepless nights and tears! Look out for these two future events in 2008: Friday 8th Feb Valentine Ceilidh Sunday 8th June Scarecrow Trail Lara Willan (chair)

God With Us – “Wilderness and desert will sing joyously “Wilderness and desert will sing joyously, the badlands will celebrate and flower … God's resplendent glory, fully on display. God awesome, God majestic.” (Isaiah 35) When we come across hard times it‟s easy to ask God to help us get out of them, but I believe that it‟s sometimes right to stay where we feel it‟s hardest, because actually that‟s where God is. The writer of this bit of scripture states that we can still be in the desert place (a hard, lonely place) but it is God who makes that place hospitable, and more than that, it is God who renews us there! If you are in a hard place at the moment, be still, seek God and ask for his refreshing of your surroundings, and yourself. That is the meaning of Christmas – God with us, where we are, renewing us! Chris Ellis
