Community Space Consultation
The Village Hall trustees would like to thank all the residents of Oswaldkirk who took the opportunity to look at our display boards and who completed questionnaires, or otherwise shared their views. It was heartening to see the level of response.

An invitation from the village hall trustees to attend a public consultation, 18:30-21:30
Oswaldkirk Village Hall, Main St, Oswaldkirk, York YO62 5XY, UKThe trustees of the Village Hall invite you to attend a public consultation on either or both of the following dates:-
Friday October between 1830 and 2130 Saturday 7 October between 1000 and 1230
The objective of the consultations is to present all the facts and figures identified to date arising from the options for a land deal with Will & Alice Brannon [W&AB). We will welcome additional comments or questions on any issues which will either be answered on the day or will be noted, addressed by the trustees and answers provided in due course.
The earlier consultation, questionnaire and analysis of comments gave trustees an indication of the community wishes. A significant amount of work has been done in the interim and we now wish to update the community on the details associated with the various options.
Please make every effort to attend one of the two consultations. Having seen all the information available, we will be pleased to hear your preferences. The trustees will review the information gathered, update their own thinking and present their recommended option to the community at a public meeting to be held towards the end of October when, with community approval, we will aim to finalise the community's choice. Any relevant discussions with W&AB, the Charity Commission and solicitors will then be progressed.
The process outlined above follows the procedures set out when our charity was originally established.

Defibrillator
A defibrillator has been installed outside the village hall. This short video (7 minutes) provides an introduction to how it can be used.
In an emergency, 999 Emergency Services must be called in first instance. They will provide full advice and guidance.
Os-Gen
Originally created in the early 2000s as a paper booklet for the benefit of those recently embraced into the bosom of our small community, it’s far from comprehensive and only one of many sources of information. If all else fails and you can’t find what you’re looking for just ask around!
Oswaldkirk – A living village
This is the title of Oswaldkirk’s history book, published to worthy fanfare in 2002 and updated in early 2012 (copies are available for £5 each). A copy of the original version, if you don’t already have one, is available to peruse in the Parish Archive, along with early photographs and many other items of historical interest. It is currently located at Ledbrooke House. If you wish to consult the archive to learn more about the village and its history, contact David Goodman on 788401.
To this day, Oswaldkirk truly is a living village, with many people actively involved in helping to generate a genuine community spirit. There are enough village events and cheery waves and conversations to make everyone feel very welcome. It is hoped that you too, will feel part of the community, however long you live here.
