Benefice Vacancy: At the time
of writing, an offer of the post has been made to a candidate interviewed
on 13th September, which has been accepted. This will now go to the
Bishop and Archbishop for approval, then an official announcement will be
made. We are grateful for all the help received especially from Stephen
and Sheila Tooke during this long difficult time.
Building Works: The PCC have decided
to go ahead with altering the West End of the church at a cost of
£35,000.00 plus VAT. The West End continues to be a useful area to
the community with approx 8¼ hours per week usage.
A laser photocopier has been donated for
the use of the villagers at a small donation to cover cost of paper &
ink.

Allotments
There have been enquiries in the past
asking the Parish Council to provide allotments for the villagers.
The Allotment Association Area Manager attended the council meeting in
July to explain and guide the council how to carry out this task.
The next step is for the council to enquire about and to carry out the
legalities. There were an number of interested people attended to
hear the advise given and are to form themselves into an allotment group.

Wimblington & Stonea Twinning
It has been decided that Wierzbie
school will bring the Polish children over in February 2008 due to the
fact that there money was only available until then.
They will bring 10 children and 2/3
adults, their money covering their air fare and travel in this country
also admission tickets.
The visit will cover 7 days – 2 of
which would be travelling, 5 sightseeing.
Places to see could include London,
York, Cambridge or Norwich with 2 days resting with local visiting.
However
October 26th -
29th we are invited by Morazzone, Italy to take up to 50 people to
spend the weekend with them. So far we have 21 air tickets
definitely booked with others seriously thinking about it. We do
advise booking tickets as early as possible to obtain them as cheaply as
possible. Stansted to Milan Bergamo has cost £65.98 return each.
