Hello all,
Some of the Governors at the school and some of the Parish Council team have got together to form a team to get B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North) for Crosthwaite village and area. B4RN are offering free internet for the school, village hall and church. We need as many people as possible to get behind this enterprise to show B4RN (a non-profit mega fast internet) that they will be able to financially support the route. Please help if you can.
Also, you can visit the B4RN for Crosthwaite Facebook Group and join to show your support.
Thank you to the many that are already helping.
You can read about B4RN Gigabit broadband in more detail here.

I am pleased to report that since the AGM on 1st September, Helen Todd has kindly offered to continue acting as Secretary and Howard Lawton has agreed to be co-opted on to the Committee. Helen Bentley is continuing to do an excellent job of decorating the kitchen.
The other good news is that B4RN is bringing superfast broadband to the school and the hall will also benefit, free, because we have agreed to allow the cabinet to be put out of the way at the side of the hall near the oil tank.
The date of the next meeting for the Committee and group representatives, (government regulations permitting), is Thursday 12th November at 7.00pm.

Clerk to Crosthwaite & Lyth Parish Council.
Note - the PC meetings are now generally held on the 1st Tuesday in each month.
Parish Council E-mail
The Parish Council has agreed that the use of electronic communication with Parishioners may be far more effective than current notice boards etc. and has subsequently agreed to establish a database (GDPR compliant) of Parishioner email addresses via which it can communicate with Parishioners. However, the challenge is in obtaining the email addresses of parishioners.
The agreed email address collection process is via an “opt in” system whereby those already enrolled can forward the Parish Council updates to people who we feel would be interested. The recipients can then "opt in" by contacting the Clerk to the PC at the following address requesting that they also wish to receive a Parish Council update.
