Black Bourton Village Association
November 2020
Dear Resident
As we are now in another COVID LOCKED-IN, we all need to be aware of the help that is available within the village. During the last lock down our village excelled itself through the generosity of spirit shown by many of our villagers. I have checked with the volunteers from last time and if you need help this time with prescriptions/shopping/ hospital trips/ putting out dustbins / postage etc do get in contact via this website.
We hope that you are enjoying the new Village Website. The site has been organised by, the PCC, the PC and the BBVA combined, but it is Lawrence Clarke that we need to thank for most of the ‘heavy lifting’. We all hope that every villager will use the site as the main means of information and contact. Households without IT will receive a printed hard copy newsletter in the usual way.
To make the website work as a central point of contact we hope that everyone will sign-up to the monthly newsletter. To do so just go to the bottom of this page, add your email address and click ‘Subscribe’ and you will receive an acknowledgement email by return. You will see there are many opportunities on the site for villagers to make a contribution or receive information. Any problems with registering please use the Contact form.
The BBVA was forced to cancel its last meeting. The agenda was to be aimed at discussing the possibilities for Christmas events, if any, and a calendar of events for 2021. We hope to reorganise our next monthly meeting sometime before Christmas. We are very keen to hear of your ideas for next year’s events and any innovations you would like the Association to consider.
We can’t wait to get on with organising our usual events and rest assured when all this Covid 19 and Lockdowns are over, and when we are allowed, we will organise a big village party.
Please don’t be afraid to ask for any help that you might need.
Stay Safe and Looking forward to being able to meet again soon.
Kind Regards Deborah
Deborah Hextall, Chairperson, Black Bourton Village Association
