NOTES FROM PARISH COUNCIL
Police Report
The police report for November 2011 indicates that thankfully crime levels in Wrawby were low - only 2 crimes were recorded - one criminal damage (graffiti at St Mary's Church) and one interference with a motor vehicle. There were no recorded crimes in December.
Dog Fouling Problem on the Playing Field
Paul Dalton described the various activities and achievements of the Wrawby football teams which use the playing field each week. An ongoing problem for the teams is the incidence of dog waste which has to be cleaned up before each match. Council acknowledges that this is the result of a few dog owners being irresponsible in allowing their pets to besmirch a village amenity and asks that these people have regard for the activities which take place on the pitch. Wrawby Parish Council is to liaise with North Lincs Council in an effort to have a Dog Control Order placed on the pitch (signage etc) but basically the solution is in the hands of the irresponsible few.
The Celebrations in 2012
The Parish Council is looking at ways of the village celebrating the Olympic Torch passing through the village on June 26th 2012 and also the Queen's Jubilee Weekend 2nd - 5th June 2012. The council is looking at practical ways in which these events can be celebrated in Wrawby and residents are asked to contact any Parish Councillor (list in Notice Board at Village Hall) or the Clerk (Graham Foster 651250) with any ideas.

WRAWBY NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
On behalf of Wrawby Neighbourhood Watch may I wish everyone a very happy new year.
As usual we have to say thank you to a number of people. Firstly to the Christmas tree team, Derek Button, Paddy O'Boyle, Graham Foster , Chris Rothery, Ian Smith and the "boys" from the garage who help us lift the tree into place. Secondly, a huge thank you to Father Christmas and his team, especially Arthur Dean from Barnetby who pulled the sledge this year. We were delighted to receive £281.25, thank you very much to all who contributed. As you know this money will all stay in Wrawby and I will let you know how it is spent, some will obviously pay for next year's Christmas tree.
Thank you to everyone who came out to see us and special thanks to those who provided very welcome refreshments on a very cold evening.

Wrawby's Big Sing for Christian Aid
Remember last year? OK it was only a couple of weeks ago – but on December 14th, the Wrawby village turned out in force filling St Mary's church to raise funds for Christian Aid. We kicked off with the excellent school choir who "WOWed" the audience with their beautiful singing, funky moves and lots of enthusiasm. Well done and thanks to Mrs Robson and the choir for such a great start.
The Wrawby Community choir then followed with the introduction along the lines of "we're too old to look cute, so we're going to have to really try and sing". Feedback suggests that we actually sounded like a "choir" – we're getting there!! New members are always welcomed.
The raffle and refreshments, and the generosity of the parents, grandparents, family and friends of the choirs and all who came along to the event raised £335 for this worthwhile cause. We rounded off the evening with some community singing – everyone joining in with carols and Christmas songs. A wonderful evening was had by all.
