CAIRNS ABOVE OUTHGILL - MESSAGE from Keith Beven Having been reminded last weekend that I had not followed up on the idea to organise a party to rebuild the leaning cairn on the Edge about Outhgill (that fell or was pushed around the time of the flood last year), I will be here next weekend (31st/1st), 14th/15th June, 21st June and 28/29 June. If you feel up to lending a hand, could let me know which days would be best for you (weather permitting, of course!!). It should not take too long if we can get three or four people together. At least there should not be too many midges up there!! Contact Keith Beven at: k.beven@lancaster.ac.uk
10th Annual Mallerstang Music Festival Thanks Keith, and Karin Johansen & Band. It was a really enjoyable evening. No midges, but maybe a few cases of frostbite instead - well, it was May in Mallerstang!

About Mallerstang Parish Meeting For postal purposes we are part of Kirkby Stephen, but we do not come within the area administered by Kirkby Stephen Town Council. Our Local Authority is Eden District Council, within Cumbria County Council. "Parish Meetings" are the lowest tier of local government in communities which, like Mallerstang, have a separate identity but are too small to have a Town or Parish Council - we have an electorate of about 87. (Parish Meetings are not connected with the church, which has its own system of Parochial Councils).
Eden District Council gives the following brief general information about Parish Meetings and Councils: Parish Councils and Parish Meetings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Parish Meetings are held three times a year: in Spring, Summer and Autumn. All residents of the (civil) parish are eligible to attend, and can bring up any matters of local concern or interest for discussion Our powers are limited but we can - and do - make a difference. The Parish Officers are elected annually at the Spring meeting, (the Annual General Meeting). This is usually held in the last week of March (the Thursday as close as possible to the 25th). At the November Meeting the annual budget and the Precept (the amount added to Council Tax specifically for Mallerstang purposes) are decided. The Consolidated Charities Committee* and other Charities reports are given at the June Meeting - and the Parish Accounts are also presented for approval at this meeting. * Mallerstang Consolidated Charities is a separate body. Its members are elected by the Parish Meeting for a fixed term (or co-opted by the Committee), and the Chairman of the Charities Committee reports in general terms to the Parish Meeting from time to time. But the Charities Committee is not directly answerable to the Parish Meeting, and its deliberations are confidential - particularly where individual awards are concerned. We also have shared representation with Nateby, on the Kirkby Stephen Charities committee. (Our current representative is Cllr Mrs Glenys Lumley, of Nateby Parish Meeting.) CONSTITUTION PAGE Click here for the Financial Regulations & Constitution for Mallerstang Parish Meeting Dates of meetings An Agenda, and the Minutes of the previous Meeting, are sent to every household before each Meeting.
