Round the tree their merry laughter ringing,

Twinkling in the glow of fairy light

Children's gleeful, smiling faces singing,

Sparkling eyes a-gleam this wintery night....

Threlkeld 52 - Penruddock 41.

It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part. Whoever said that has obviously never played sport!

The following items were discussed:

~ NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

The Parish Council discussed the benefits of the Neighbourhood Watch, and we are still looking for volunteers for this. If Threlkeld is a member of the Neighbourhood Watch you can get discount on your house insurance, so this is beneficial to all!! If anybody wishes to volunteer, or find out any more information please contact Stuart Creswell.

You will all know of the Keswick Theatre by the Lake. Most of you will know that the smartly dressed people who tear tickets at the auditoria doors, sell programmes, sell ice creams, etc. are volunteers (known as Front of House Volunteers) but perhaps less of you will know that Threlkeld plays a unique part in the provision of such volunteers.
