©Kirton News 2011
Urgently requested: Treasurer
for Kirton News
Kirton news has lost a stalwart member of the team. Sushma Bragg has been our Treasurer for some time and performed splendidly; but, she has recently decided that, because of family commitments, she is unable to carry on the role, although she'll remain a valued member of the committee.
Anyone out there fancy taking it on? As with the rest of us at The News you'll be doing this for love and not reward. But you get a chance to work with me!
An accounting background would be good - but not essential.
If you fancy having a shot then contact me, Sam C. at the usual address and we'll talk some more. I know you're out there!
Yours, expectantly, Sam.
Royal British Legion Trip
The Royal British Legion Kirton & District Branch are considering organising a coach trip to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire in June/July if there is enough support.
Anyone who would like to go on this trip, please let me know so that we can gauge numbers also whether they would prefer a week day or a weekend day out, the cost for the trip would be about (£10)
To date the Poppy Appeal Fund for the District has raised £ 3,416. I would like to thank everyone for their generosity and support in helping us reach this sum. This is a wonderful amount considering the financial state of the economy.
The Appeal does not end until September, with your help I would like to try and exceed this by encouraging locals to partake in a sponsor challenge later in the year.
If there is any person who is willing to take up a challenge in aid of The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal please contact me on 01205 722501 or email roland.reece@btinternet.com
Thank you again for your support on behalf of The Royal British Legion Kirton & District Branch.

Emergency Planning
The parish council is, together with Algarkirk and Sutterton parish councils, putting together an emergency plan. Volunteers are required who would be able to provide assistance, provide use of machinery, storage, facilities, expertise (eg first aiders) in the event of an emergency. Emergencies could include: large scale road accident, aircraft crash, flood, power out, severe weather conditions etc.
If anyone is able to offer help, in whatever form, or you would like more information, please contact Mrs Belinda Buttery (parish clerk) on 01205 460618 or belindabuttery@hotmail.com
Many thanks in advance.
Community Lincs launches new
countywide Bulk Oil Buying Scheme
Community Lincs has launched a new way for you to buy your oil! Our Bulk Oil Buying Scheme launches today with the aim of maximising the joint buying power of communities to enable them to make significant savings when buying their domestic heating oil.
The scheme is open to individuals, community buildings and businesses that use oil to heat their homes and premises for a small annual membership fee. All they have to do is pay a small annual membership fee of £20 for individual households to £100 for a business and they will then be able to place as many orders as they want for a whole year.
Your community may already have a successful local scheme and if so that’s great. Our aim is not to take it over but they are welcome to join if they wish and they will benefit by saving their time.
We would also like to ask for your help in publicising the scheme and in particular with recruiting a local volunteer co-ordinator for your parish, who will receive their membership of the scheme for free.
If you are on mains gas then you may find this is not relevant to you, but if you know someone who might find it of interest then please pass the information on to them.
To get more information about how the scheme works, for details of how to become a co-ordinator and how to join the scheme please visit the Community Lincs website at: www.communitylincs.com or alternatively give us a call on 01529 301980 or email us at: bulkoil@communitylincs.com
