As the country begins another period of lock down it is good to know that there is still plenty going in Bugthorpe, albeit safely and at a distance. The village website www.bugthorpevillage.co.uk continues to be refreshed and kept up-to-date.

Remembrance Day

Sadly, owing to the current restrictions there will not be the laying of a wreath service at Bugthorpe War Memorial Institute on Sunday, the first time for many years. In 1918 a fund was set up to raise money to build the institute in commemoration of those who went to war, particularly the three men from Bugthorpe who never returned.

DAVID POTTER KILLED IN ACTION 29 OCTOBER 1914

HARTLEY SLATER KILLED IN ACTION 7 OCTOBER 1917

GEORGE ELLIOT KILLED IN ACTION 20 OCTOBER 1914

 

The intention was to create a recreational venue that would benefit the whole community. It was opened on 12th September 1925 and continues to serve the village to this day.

 

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Christmas Memory Tree

Plans are well under way to ensure the Village Christmas Trees will be in place, decorated and lit up on St Andrew’s Day at 5:30 pm Monday 30th November. Thank you to Halifax Estates for kindly donating the trees and allowing us to plug into their electrical supply.

 

 Memory Baubles are still available from Bugthorpe Shop and Post Office, decorated baubles should be returned by Friday 25th November.

Light up a window for Christmas!

 

In addition to the village Christmas trees you are invited to share the celebrations by lighting up one window in your house throughout the Christmas period starting on 30 November, the day the trees are lit up. This can be done in anyway using fairy lights, candles or lights of any kind as a symbol of the love and hope that Christmas represents.

Results of the Bugthorpe Harvest Collection

Bugthorpe’s Harvest Collection invited everyone to donate food or money to assist the work of Carecent in York.

 

Carecent provides breakfast for homeless, vulnerable and unemployed people. The response was tremendous, copious amounts of food and donations amounting to £85 were given. David Priestnall of Carecent wrote;

 

"On behalf of the staff, volunteers and customers at Carecent I am writing to thank the whole of the Bugthorpe Community for gathering and delivering your recent donation for our work. It is an amazing community achievement. Your support and prayers mean a great deal to us."

 

Thank you to everyone.

Local Walks on the Website

We have a new website feature!

 

There are now three local walking routes available on the website with accompanying directions, maps and photographs. The walks are of different lengths catering for all abilities but all allow the walker to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the area in which we live – the views are breath taking.

 

Thank you to Katherine Robinson for presenting these walks so clearly for us all to enjoy safely, her work is very much appreciated.
