Widely renowned for its celebration of Halloween, Bolnore Village will be changing up the spooky festivities later this month to make it ‘Covid Style’ and safe. Resident Charlie Bancroft said: “Although we won’t be trick or treating I really hope people will still decorate in some way so we can still enjoy all the lovely displays that Bolnore seems to do so well!” The idea is that children (and adults!) do drawings in a similar way to the rainbow drawings which many in Bolnore did at the beginning of lockdown, which can then be displayed in your window. The pieces of art should be up between 25th October and 1st November, so that children can safely walk around the area – dressing up if they’d like to – and look out for the various Halloween-themed posters in windows. Parents walking with the children can then dish out a treat to their own kids for each drawing spotted. And there you have it; a nice and safe way to do your trick or treating this year. There’s plenty of time for you to get creative for your window display!
Changes in BVCIC Board of Directors
Bolnore resident Chris Belton stood down as Chair of the Bolnore Community Interest Company with effect from the end of April. The board thanked Chris for all the time and effort he put into the role over the years. ‘His dedication to the role of Chair has certainly improved the environment of the Village for all residents’. Carlos Leon took over as Chair from 1st May. ‘Carlos has already been a Director on the board for several years. He will bring a wealth of experience to the role and we are looking forward to working more closely with Carlos over the coming months ahead’. Martin Heath has decided it is time to step down as a director. ‘Martin was involved in BVCIC from the outset and has provided valuable input over the years. We would like to thank Martin for the support he has provided to Pembroke and the community’.
