If your Group would like to apply for a Grant from the Parish Council, please apply to the Parish Clerk via northhillparishcouncil@btinternet.com by Friday 11th December with a covering letter, itemised list and any quotes (if applicable). If you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact the Clerk by email on: northhillparishcouncil@btinternet.com. Thank You! Adele Autumn News from the Coads Green W.I. The Coads Green W.I.have realised that, along with many organisations, that our activities need to remain on hold for a while. That has not stopped President, Linda Willan, and the committee members from meeting outside and discussing ways of bringing everyone together. On Tuesday, September 8th, before the Rule of Six, nine members met at Siblyback Lake to enjoy one another’s company. It was a wonderful opportunity to catch up and have Coads Green W.I.member, Jackie Stephens on a group walk around Siblyback lake. a socially distanced drink and cake at the café. It is very sad that we lost a much loved member, Mona Pengelly, in August. She became a member of the chapel and joined the W.I.in 2005. Members have been privileged to hear Mona speak about her fascinating life. She will be greatly missed.

Coads Green Methodist Chapel Yipee- we’re back! I can’t believe it has been 30 weeks since the last service in our chapel. On Sunday 11th October, Coads Green Chapel opened its doors once more to all those who wanted and needed to attend after the forced closure due to Coronavi- rus. Many were understandably apprehensive, not knowing what to expect, but we need not have worried. On arriving at the Church grounds, we were greeted by an army of willing volun- teers who guided us through the now familiar procedure: queuing 2 metres apart, sanitising and giving contact details, following a one way system, using a face mask and setting in household bubbles. 25 people attended the service in total which was led by 2 of our own members, Ken and Margaret Ridley. We started with a prayer before the first hymn which of course we were not allowed to sing but thanks to the screen and sound system, we could follow along with it. It was so difficult to sit and listen without joining in and I must admit to humming along behind my face mask. One thing I did learn through this was how important the words to hymns are, something that is quite often overlooked when you are singing with gusto. Ken read ‘Lord of the Dance’ and the words took on a new meaning. Perhaps it’s something we could do more often. The service ended with another well-known hymn, ‘We Shall Go Out With Joy’, and after the conclusion that is just what we did. This was an experimental event, but we hope they can continue as planned at 10am on the second and fourth Sunday of each month.
