As of 1 May 2021, BadbyVillage.com has been replaced by a new website, www.badby-pc.gov.uk.

The new website incorporates all the favourite areas from BadbyVillage.com and more

  • Badby Parish Council : details of meetings, minutes, members, planning and more
  • Community : In and around Badby, its history, clubs and societies, the church etc.
  • Diary : Community events, parish council meetings, village hall availability. 

You can also sign up on the new website for the News Update Service.

Please remember to change your Favourites/Bookmarks to the new website address.

Badby Parish Council would like to thank those who created this website back in 2013 and who have worked since then to keep it up to date with news and information about Badby Village, its history, clubs and societies, facilities and amenities.  However, following changes in website technology and legislation, it is time now to move to a more modern website platform.  We hope you will find www.badby-pc.gov.uk just as useful and informative, and that you will support it in the same way.  A website is only ever as good as the input it receives from those who maintain it, visit it and contribute to it, whether from the local community or farther away, and we thank you for all that you do.  Richard Piner, Chairman.

Cricket Club News – New Season Gets Uuderway –

Posted on April 20, 2021 by gcsspullinyahoocom

B&FCC NEWS – NEW SEASON GETS UNDERWAY

With snowflakes falling, the wind blowing hard and the temperature struggling to get into double figures, the new cricket season began with an inter-club 10 a side friendly on Sunday 11 April.

The typically traditional English April weather did not stop a lively and entertaining affair taking place on the field with captain Charlie Ashmore’s XI winning the T20 match against vice-captain Steve Nelligan’s side.

The arrival of a mobile coffee van serving hot drinks and delicious sausage rolls was particularly welcome mid-innings. Other afternoon highlights included a promising innings from teenager Harry Osborne, members trying in vain to rescue a frisbee hoop from a tree near the pavilion and the appearance of a sun screen dispenser inside the changing rooms. Let’s hope we get the chance to use it this summer.

The season properly got under way last Sunday with an exciting away match at our good friends Eydon, B&FCC only being denied what would have been a deserved victory by an astonishing display of power hitting in the final few overs by home batsman Joe Cox.

Set to make 94 off 20 overs the home side struggled throughout against some excellent bowling, especially Ollie Webb who took four wickets with his left arm spin. With five overs left B&FCC were seemingly coasting to victory as Eydon slumped to 53-9. All that changed when Joe came to the wicket and proceeded to hit a succession of fours and sixes that left everyone gasping in admiration as he took his team to a one-wicket victory.

Off the field, vice captain Steve Nelligan has been appointed the club’s new welfare/safeguarding officer. Thanks to him for taking on this responsibility. Also joining, and a name that older cricket club players may remember, is Roger Wilson. Former Badby player is CEO of Northants recreational cricket, chairman of South Northants junior cricket league and a level 2 coach – welcome aboard Roger.

Fixtures:

Sunday 25 April Shenley Church End (H).

May:

    • Sunday 2  Spencer Bruerne (A),
    • Sunday 9   Braunston (H),
    • Sunday 16  Crick Lions (H),
    • Sunday 23    Abington (H),
    • Sunday 30  Blakesley (A).

All matches start at 2pm.

Soup recipes –

Posted on April 7, 2021 by gcsspullinyahoocom

The promised soup booklet is now available.  Members of our community have provided recipes of their favourite soups, and some have also given bread recipes, and the result is 28 pages of much-tried, delicious and successful soup and bread recipes.  Some lend themselves particularly well to the current cold weather; some will be more appropriate to the summer when we’ll appreciate iced soup.

 

If you would like a copy please email Judy Jordan (judyjordan27@gmail.com).  We ask you to make a £5 donation to St. Mary’s Church in return, which can either be done in cash or by BACS.
