Cowbit Village Website - LAST UPDATE 26th November 2024
As we run up to the Christmas period, we are hosting a variety of festive events at
the Village Hall to ensure everyone has the opportunity to get into the festive spirit.
In addition to the Wreath Making workshops and Christmas Fayre, we will be holding Christmas Bingo on Friday 13th December at 7:30pm. It is the highlight of
our Bingo calendar and includes extra prizes and free mince pies… Christmas outfits
are voluntary but encouraged.
Use of our UK Shared Prosperity and Lincolnshire Community Foundation funding
has enabled us to recently purchase a new noticeboard to help display information
in a more accessible manner. Huge thanks to Marcus, Chris and Kev for their time
and expertise in installing it. Please do take a look if you walk by – there is lots of
information and it looks very smart!
Cowbit does not have a war memorial as such, only names within the church and two roads in the village named after men who lost their lives in service. A few years ago the village had street lamp poppies around the village, and it seemed villagers were wanting to see them again. So the Village hall committee decided on raising funds online and in Cowbit Village Stores, £345 was raised which has enabled us to have 40 large Poppies on the street lamps. As well as helping fund towards wreaths, flag, bunting and a poppy drape. The wreaths were made by Claire Pell and Marcus Pell along with the Poppy drape which has been placed over the Queen Elizabeth II memorial stone.
The village sign area also had a wreath, bunting and a kneeling "Tommy" soldier with wreaths placed nearby, this was made by lifelong villager Gerry Pearson.
Also the Cowbit Crafters group made crochet poppies which were included in the display as well as on the two village signs, Parkin Road and Clarkson Avenue.
The village hall committee would like to thank all those that generously donated money towards everything. Cowbit Parish Council for their generous donation, Mr Pearson, Cowbit Village Stores for a collection box, Cowbit crafters group and those that helped make, display and putting the poppies on lamp posts.
So despite there being no war memorial our village has remembered all those that sacrificed their lives in conflict.
