Built in the 50's and 60's by all sectors of the community, this year sees the 40th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone. The intervening years have been full and eventful reflecting the many and varied activities associated with what has become the centre of community life in the village. It is therefore appropriate that we should recognise this undoubted success story in a commemorative record to be published later this year. Whether you were present at the laying of the foundation stone or have the community since is no matter as as you let us know of something that has even last month, that you feel should be a record and we will
it due consideration. Send your offering telephone or post to: David Roberts at 46, Boyd Saltford, Bristol BS31 3AU (Tel: 01225 874081 ) or Richard Davies at "Y-Deri" High Street, 01225 872699)

...... continued from page 3 SALTFORD SINGERS What joy it gave us to see so many at our concert "Sing for Joy" on the 8th & 9th December, also for the many kind words of appreciation. You did seem to have recognised an improvement in our abilities under our new conductor, Rosalyn Hodson, and liked the variety within her programme, including the piano solo's from Josephine Reece (So did we') Thank you for coming. Enjoyment too for our" other audience" , on 14th December, when we joined with the young ones from Saltford Primary School for the "Lighting of the Christmas Tn;c " in Salt ford Hall. The children's version of the "Twelve days of Christmas" was a joy to behold! Hopefully we can arrange a date when the whole school can be present next year . Our next Concert is on the 18th & 19th May and rehearsals are under way. We have three new prospective members, but there is still room for more, so come and join us. The bass line is growing nicely but we would like more tenors. Come and sit in during rehearsals on Tuesday nights in the Wansdyke Room at Salt ford Hall from 7.30pm to 9.3Opm. No charge, no commitment. After a few weeks, if you like the idea, you may care to join us. It is not expensive - less than £1.00 a week. We don't bite! You will be very welcome.

But, then, I'm old and ninety two. Oh, yes, I know it's up to me,
Perhaps I'll try when ninety three!

An Engaging Cou pie Jane and Joe had long been courting. In fact for over fifteen years, They were even childhood sweethearts But Jane, rightly, had her fears .
So, one day when they were walking, Shc said in quite a kindly way, "Isn't it time that we got married , We're gelling older every day?"
Joe stopped and gently stroked his head, (He wa n't one to make a fuss) , "It is" , he quietly replied, "But who on Earth would have us') "

SAL TFORD PARISH COUNCIL NEWS Clerk - Mrs M L M Sobey, 489, Bath Road, Saltford, Bristol BSJ} JBA Td: 400058 YOUTH ACTIVITY AREA, SALTFORD HALL The Parish Counci I has held a number of informal meetings with the ~ports Club, S. C.A., residents in the area and young people, to lonk again at all the possibile sites near Salt ford Hal l for a seating area and "kickabout " wall for young people. At the time of writing, discussions are still taking place, but a preferred site has been identified, behind the chi ldren's play area on Wedmore Road, hy the side of the Hall and Sports Cluh changing rooms. B&NES Council is being consulted to e5tablish whether planning permission would be required for these two items of equipment on land which is already used for recreation . SWEEPERfI lANDYPERSON Martin [ngs from Keynsham has recently started working for the Parish Council as its second sweeper/handyperson, working with Mervyn Thompson . The Parish Council now provides 28 hours of direct sweeping service in Saltford in addition to B&NES Council's vi~its by machine, usually weekly. By employing its own sweepers (mostly funded by B&NES council) particular problem spots can be dealt with more effectively. GRANTS The Parish Council agreed a number of grants at its December meeting . Salt ford Scouts heve been given a grant to repair the access to the Scout Headquarters in Chelwood Road. Saltford Community Association has had a grant towards the cost of enclosing the fire escape at Saltford Hall. The Saltford Brass Mill project also received a grant towards the cost of clearing up after the recent floods at the Brass Mill in The Shallows. PLANNING APPLICATIONS - VIEWING OF PLANS The Parish Council's Planning Committee usually meets on the 1st and third Tuesday of each month at 7.15 pm (Saltford Hall Avon Room) to consider its views on any planning applications received by B&NES Council's Development Control section. An agenda is placed on the main noticehoard outside the Post Office the previous Wednesday, setting out any plans received at that time. An arrangement has now been made with Salt ford Library, 50 that the Parish Council's copy of the applications are available there for any residents to have a look at them there until the library closes on the Saturday (I pm) hefore the meeting. [f you want to see any plans relating to Salt ford at any other time, please contact the Clcrk to check when they are available . A copy of the Parish Council's agendas and minutes are also available at Saltford Library . PARISH MEETING This year 's Parish Meeting will be held on Tuesday 3rd April at 6.30 pm in the Avon Room, Saltford Hall. This meeting is another opportunity for any Salt ford resident to comment on the work carried out by the Parish Council in the village and to put forward suggestions or ask questions on any matters relating to Saltford. Representatives of local organisations have also been invited to give a short report of their activities over the past year. PRECEPT 200112002 The Council Tal( hill issued by B&NES Council each year includes a precept - the amount requested by the Parish Council for its service!>. This will remain the same for this financial year starting April 2001, at £14.32 per household per year for a Band D dwelling. Madeleine Sobey. Clerk
