EPC Notice of Conclusion of audit 20222023

Must give a massive thanks to Weldtech (GB) for all their hard work in Edenthorpe. It all began in 2016 when Dean, Sean and the lads designed our Parish Council notice boards. The design and quality shows as they still look as good now as the day they were erected. Next job saw the company replacing some safety fencing and fire exits at The Howard Pavilion and The Fred Gee Centre as well as making some benches to run alongside the Pavilion for footballers on match days. Their prices were always reasonable and compared to other quotes there was no question that we should continue to use the company for various projects.
The playing field in the past has suffered from vehicles driving onto the field and damaging the football pitches. Once again WeldTech came up with a competitive price and design. The anti-cycle measures and railings around the field were erected in the Winter of 2021 making the field a safe place for all residents to relax and enjoy their exercise. The latest project has meant that the goal storage compound has been extended behind the Fred Gee Centre with 3 new lengths of Palisade fencing and moving the old boundary fencing outwards. This work was completed over two days and will mean that all the football equipment is able to be stored safely and securely. In the meantime an urgent call from myself, regarding an oak tree planted by Edenthorpe Parish Council had outgrown the steel support around the trunk. No problem, Dean sorted it, the offending frame was cut off the next day. The tree looks much happier now.

Special shout out to Emma who has designed a logo for Edenthorpe Parish Council. This will be put into use in the near future. Emma designed this at no cost at all to The Parish council. Thanks were given by Parish Councillors at the Council meeting held Thursday 11th May 2023.
Future projects planned and passed are to have 4 benches placed in front of the fence of The Howard Pavilion (2 at each side of the concrete semi-circle), these will mean that the sunspot can be enjoyed by many residents, football spectators to sit a while, have a chat and rest whilst enjoying the fresh air and open space.
Thank you Dean, Sean, Rob, Emma and the rest of this hard-working company who can always be relied upon.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday 2nd December to sing carols around the trees. It really was a wonderful evening where the village came together and enjoyed time having a chat, laughing and catching up with friends and neighbours.
Special thanks go to Olivia Ward for opening the evening with her beautiful rendition of Silent Night, in memory of our esteemed Chairman Fred Gee, who sadly passed away last month. Reverend Tom Brown led the service and looked after everyone with his repertoire of Christmas Songs.
Tyrone Ali gave thanks to those who donated towards the event and his wife Linda gave a moving tribute to Fred. Sadly, due to illness his beloved wife, Mary who was to switch on the Christmas lights, could not attend. Myself, Anne Flanagan switched on the lights with my granddaughter Amelia, in Mary’s absence and I thought about my very dear close friend – Fred you will be remembered always.
Huge thanks go to the following individuals and businesses for donations towards the evening. Without you this very unique event could not go ahead.

It is with great sadness and regret that Edenthorpe Parish Council must convey the tragic news that our esteemed Chairman – Mr Fred W Gee sadly passed away on Wednesday 16th November 2022.

The Clerk and all the Parish Councillors wish to send his wife Mary and his beloved family our most sincere and deepest sympathy at this awful time. Fred was a true gentleman known by many, a gentle giant. The knowledge he had of the village and the great work he did for the community of Edenthorpe will be hard to follow. He will be remembered always.

Rest in peace Fred. X
