HILLESLEY LATEST
June 2009
8th Great Hillesley Bike Ride
This year's ride offers three routes - 28+, 22+ and 15+ miles. All the rides start together, meeting at 10.45am for an 11am start, at the War Memorial in Hillesley. We have an undulating morning, and a flattish but interesting afternoon. A couple of busier roads to cross over on the longer rides - that enables us to get into some totally 'different' scenery though.
Lots and lots of pub stops on offer, with pub lunches available at most places.
Entry forms do need to be with us by Wed 10th June 2009 so we can work with the pubs for lunch numbers and pre-booking of menus where applicable.
Photographs of previous year rides are up on the website... click here...
The Fleece Inn can't do a hog roast again this year, but are putting on a hot dog and burger bbq for us all, so hope to see you there around 6pm if you can't make it on the ride?
Thanks again! Sandy & Chris Hicks

Clay Pigeon Shoots
The enforcement officer has contacted the shooting club on the Kingswood Road, and as a result, the shooting has dropped back down to its allowable useage of a maximum of 28 days per year, so every other Sunday.
Should planning permission be sought for a 'formal' shooting club/venue (and the obvious implications of potentially seven days a week of shooting!) villagers will be notified through the website and Hillesley Happenings so that a fair opportunity to comment can be given to those that are most impacted (unfortunately it is Kingswood parish council that would receive the application for comments, not Hillesley & Tresham parish council - yet we are the ones most impacted!). Watch this space. |

New Webmaster...
Having developed and updated the website for some eight years, the time has come for some new fresh ideas and input... please let me (Sandy 521295) know if you'd be interested in taking over the website. It is a useful village resource and doesn't take too much time.
