Scarecrow Festival and Wray Fair 2010?

Most local organisations have benefited greatly from the repeated success of the annual Scarecrow Festival, which has made a major contribution to their finances, due to the fundraising opportunities of the event.  The funds raised directly for the Institute have meant that the significant shortfall of rents over costs each year for the Institute has been covered and over the years this has given scope to improve the facility and build a reserve fund for repairs and further improvements.  It has also allowed the rental costs for many regular users of the hall to be heavily subsidised in order to

encourage use of the building by a wide range of community groups

Any material reduction in Institute income from Wray Fair would require a thorough review of rents and the costs of running the Institute.  Village organisations will also be keenly aware of the importance of the Scarecrow Festival income to their own finances.

For the Scarecrow Festival to take place in 2010, Wray Fair Committee

urgently needs to recruit new blood.  There is a need for new committee members willing to contribute to the organisation of the event and more volunteers to take on specific duties that make the event run smoothly.  There is also currently a vacancy for a co-ordinator for the event.

If you support or benefit from the current arrangements, have ideas about how the Festival can be improved and want to work with us to ensure that the Scarecrow Festival 2010 goes ahead you are invited to attend a public meeting at the Institute on Tuesday 24th November at 8.00 p.m.

Lengthsman Scheme Wray-with-Botton

Together with the representatives of the other Parishes involved in the scheme, I met with Simon Armistead, Lengthsman on Friday 9th October.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss with Simon, matters previously discussed at a meeting of the Parishes and Scheme Representatives in September.

For Wray-with-Botton Parish Council these were:

1.  Communication between Simon and the Parish Council Representative.

2.  Delivery of the contract to a standard considered to be acceptable by

     the Parish Council.

It was agreed that Simon will in future contact me when he comes into the village.  This will allow me to pass on to him any tasks, which have been identified for his attention.  He will keep me up-to-date by email on the status of all tasks he has undertaken or been asked to undertake at the end of each week.

Currently I have asked Simon to concentrate on the Churchyard and Flood Gardens.

If you see any jobs that need attention please contact me and I will pass these on to Simon.  My contact number is 015242  21186.

A leaflet detailing more information regarding the scheme and the duties of the lengthsman is available from Wray Post Office.

Councillor Carol Wallace, Wray-with-Botton Parish Council.

Remembrance

This year, Remembrance Sunday falls on November 8th.

Remembrance is not just about those who fought in the two World Wars of the last century, but also about those who fought in the many other conflicts worldwide since 1945 and those still fighting for peace and freedom now, in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It is also about learning from the past and resolving to make the world a better place to live in the future.

If we are to maintain our peace and freedom, we must always remember.
