Welcome to the October issue of the

Branton & AuckLey Arrow And just like that, it’s Autumn! Well, summer has been a blast, I hope everyone had a great one. We have lots of things to look forward to as the nights draw in, with the half term break at the end of the month and Hallow’een. Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Boston Park Farm have activities lined up to keep everyone in the ‘spooky spirit’ of things.

Cantley with Branton PC are looking for volunteers this month to help with sewing poppies on to another display for the village and Auckley PC are looking for ideas on how to mark the 80th Anniversary of D Day landings in June next year. The local WI’s and community groups are all busy with activities you are all welcome to attend over the next few months.

I hope everyone has the opportunity to run, walk or cycle around our villages and enjoy nature changing the colour scheme once again.

The November issue deadline for adverts and content is Wednesday 18th October.

AUCKLEY PARISH COUNCIL September/ October Newsletter Defibrillator Training Sessions Defibrillators are valuable resources which help to save lives. There are a number located around the parish including ones at Riverside Park and Hayfield Park.

Auckley Parish Council would like to organise a training session to help people become familiar with these easy to use machines. Please register your interest in attending with the Clerk.

D Day 80 Anniversary At the meeting on the 13th of September, the Council decided to explore options on how to mark the D Day 80 anniversary (6th June 2024). D Day saw the start of the allied invasion of Northern France by means of the beach landings in Normandy.

The Council will organise a separate public meeting with the aim of discussing the anniversary and the options/ideas to mark it. The Council would like to invite residents to attend and contribute to this meeting. Please look out for further details or contact the Clerk to be kept informed.

Thank You to the Auckley Show As always the Council would like to thank the Auckley Show Committee for organising the Auckley Show. The show took place on the 19th of August and was enjoyed by the many people that attended.

The variety and quantity of exhibits was impressive. The time and effort put in by the volunteers of the Show Committee is commended.

To contact the Clerk to Auckley Parish Council (Emma Lear), please email clerk@auckleyparishcouncil.gov.uk or call 07857 568268.
