SID’S ON THE SLITHER AND WE WANT HIM BACK!

Liz Burton Dawn Kilner elle harte vicky kulczycka Ivor Hughes Eric Wells Hello and welcome to this month’s edition of Covered.

Things are hotting up for the summer which means we’ve plenty of outdoor activities to attend, support and report. We’re usually the only ‘community’ publication at these events and we try to support as many as possible, either by being there or by including details in our pages. Get in touch if you’re an organiser – we’ll do our best to drum up more support for you if we can. Please try to give us as much notice as you can – we’re a monthly publication, so no point in telling us the day before your event happens! If you’re looking for something to do over the next month or so take a look at the many and varied options on our Diary Dates pages.

We took a trip to The Woolpack in Esholt for this month’s Food & Drink feature; many of you will know it well as the pub of the same name in TV’s Emmerdale. Much has changed there since the cameras left, and it’s recently been refurbished – well worth a visit if you can. If Emmerdale is a staple of your TV week – take a look at P38 – we caught up with some of the cast members at Carnegie Stadium on 9th June, they were happy to pose for our photographer.

If you’ve given thought to extending your home, take a look at this month’s Property Matters section for some solid advice. I’m more at home tapping the keys on my laptop than I am banging in a nail (or whatever the technical term is!), so if you’re like me you’ll be pleased to know that there are plenty of very good trades-people advertising in this month’s edition. It’s always best to use local companies when you can!

The deadline for competition entries, prize claims, diary date requests, editorial submission and advertising in the next edition is 05/07/13 so please get in touch as soon as you can.

Until next month,

The Woolpack at Esholt is perhaps best known as THE Woolpack, of Yorkshire Television’s ‘Emmerdale’ fame, since the popular TV soap opera used this village between Shipley and Guiseley to film it’s outside broadcasts from 1976 to 1996. The TV cameras may have long since moved out, to a purpose built village on the Harewood Estate, but the original Woolpack still stands and is thriving.

Having undergone a major £50,000 refurbishment, the pub reopened it’s doors in March this year under new management, and we went along to check out the new look and menu.

The Woolpack New owners, Glenn and Caroline Royston, have a long history of managing pubs including within the Yorkshire Dales, and they explained that they were keen to rid The Woolpack of the former pine wood and green décor and return it to it’s former glory as a traditional, English country inn serving good, home cooked food and cask ales. The new interior is warm and welcoming with traditional stone floors, dark wood and tasteful red furnishings. Deceptively large inside, there is a large main seating area with

a smaller, separated dining area to the rear, which is ideal for small family parties. There are a good variety of trails in the stunning countryside around Esholt village and, with this in mind, there is also a room for ramblers and cyclists to enjoy a pint and a pie, whilst perusing the walls, which are adorned with ‘Emmerdale’ memorabilia, past and present.

All of the staff are local and this seems to add to the friendly feel of The Woolpack, with plenty

“The Woolpack is a good place to stop and refresh yourself whilst enjoying the peaceful country pace ”

of tourists and visitors asking for directions and recommendations.

Village resident, Clair Thrippleton, is Head Chef and has vast experience, previously working at Cellar V in Guiseley for many years. She now works alongside Glenn in the kitchen to produce an extensive range of hearty, freshly prepared food, the most popular dish being the steak pie. There are also lighter meals and sandwiches available if you should wish to save space for dessert, and the Sunday roast is always popular, with a choice of meats locally sourced from the Aire/ Wharfe Valley. Special dietary requests can be catered for with advance notice and bookings are also recommended at busier times and for larger parties.

Coach trips are still welcomed to Esholt with visitors coming from as far afield as Finland, but 48 hours notice is required for dining in The Woolpack in such instances, as the village can see up to 4 coaches per day at busier times. Theme nights are a new addition to The Woolpack too with the first evening being planned at the time of writing; a Spanish tapas evening with a live flamenco guitarist. This will be shortly followed by a special Father’s Day Sunday menu, which again had a generous and varied choice of dishes to suit most tastes.

The pair responsible for

thepopular dishes - Clair and Glenn

So, whether you want to enjoy a ramble and take in the countryside air around Esholt or take the kids to meet friendly Farmer James and his animal family at nearby St Leonards’ Farm Park, or maybe you just want to photograph yourself drinking Amos Brearly’s favourite ‘Emmerdale’ beer, The Woolpack is a good place to stop and refresh yourself whilst enjoying the peaceful, country pace. When you’re sat outside, listening to the birdsong and the distant hum of the tractors it really is extraordinary to think that you’re only such a short distance from a main road, with Shipley and Guiseley only 10 minutes away at either side.

The Woolpack is open from 11am – 11pm, 7 days a week and further details can be found on the website www. thewoolpackesholt.co.uk, or on their facebook page.

Ingredients: Buy Local “The chef takes pride in using only locally sourced ingredients”. Possibly the most clichéd phrase in restaurant ‘reviews’. Restaurants often pay for reviews in magazines so they’re not always a reliable appraisal - the writer is of course obliged to speak highly of their client’s culinary capabilities.

Although reviews may be disingenuous, it’s clear that ‘locally sourced ingredients’ have huge benefits for us – environmentally, economically and, most importantly in their appearance and taste. If you do get chance, bypass the supermarket for once

and give your local independent producers a try you’ll be surprised at the range of products on offer at markets and Farm Shops. It makes sense to everyone that a leg of Lamb born, raised and slaughtered locally will taste better than one that has traveled (in shrink-wrap) from New Zealand. Travel is great for people, but not produce.

We’re blessed with some great options for picking up local food ingredients so there’s no need to travel 30 miles into the countryside for genuine, organic local produce. Try going along to your local Farmers Market or Farm Shop – here’s a few destinations to get you started.

Calverley Scarecrow Festival 10 – 18 August Start saving your newspapers and old clothes… it’s that time of year again. Families, individuals, businesses and groups are being invited to make a scarecrow for a trail around Calverley village.

Closing date for entries is the 31 July.

The second scarecrow festival in Calverley promises to be bigger than ever, as the scarecrows will be on display for over seven days across the village. The themes for this year are: Film, Historical, Creative and Traditional. Children are also able to enter a competition to draw a scarecrow.

There will be the opportunity to vote for a “crop idol” via paper based and online voting. Those who are not able to attend the event are still able to “get involved” by viewing a slideshow of photographs on the Creative Calverley website. The winner of the scarecrow festival will be announced on the 17 August, 1pm at Calverley Carnival.

“The event is a great opportunity for the village to come together and have a bit of creative fun.” Said Creative Calverley’s Founder, Gael Timbers. Entry forms are available from Calverley Post Office, Calverley News, Calverley Library and available to download from www.creativecalverley.co.uk

Wortley FC Ladies – Top the league Wortley FC Ladies reserves have gained promotion from the West Riding Ladies Football league 3rd division.

The team, which only came together last season, struggled in their first campaign with just one win in the final match of that campaign. It was a different story in the 2012-13 season when they went undefeated in the league until 31 March.

The ladies not only scored the most goals in the whole of the West Riding Ladies leagues (115) but also had one of the best defences of the 38 teams that make up the leagues. The team which is made up of players from 17 years old up to players in their mid 30’s are now looking forward to the challenges of the second division.

Robert Greaves Ladies and Girls secretary for Wortley FC commented “this has been a fabulous

result for the team, credit must be given to Steve Le Tissier the coach who joined the team towards the end of last season, he has not only increased the skills of the players but organised them in a way that makes their football a joy to watch.“ The players are taking a well earned rest for a couple of weeks, but will soon be in training for next season.

Anybody wishing to join or support the team can find more details at wortleyfc.org.uk

Stuart Andrew mp As many regular readers of this column will know, one of my key interests in Parliament is planning and I know from my own constituency postbag that this interest is shared by many in our community.

I have long supported sustainable planning and have raised the issue of overdevelopment many times in Parliament, highlighting in particular the importance of prioritising brownfield sites over greenfield sites in terms of planning for Leeds. It is so vital that we preserve our green spaces for future generations, though I do accept that there is a worrying shortage of housing at present and developments are necessary in order to address this.

It is therefore important to note that Leeds City Council is currently running a public consultation on The Site Allocations Plan, allowing Leeds residents to have a say on the areas which will be considered for development as part of the Leeds Core Strategy long term spatial vision. I strongly advise all those who have an interest in developments in our community to submit a response. As a politician I am keenly aware of the importance of listening to the views of my constituents and this is an excellent opportunity for residents to voice their own opinions.

Please note, the consultation closes at 5pm on Monday 29th July 2013. Details can be found at the following address: http://www.leeds.gov.uk/ council/Pages/Site-Allocations-DevelopmentPlan-Document-%28LDF%29.aspx .

TV’s Nigel Havers Warns Landlords and Tenants The big British holiday get away is about to get into full swing for many of us. And none of us would ever think of packing our bags and jetting off to the summer sun with a travel company that wasn’t properly accredited.

Yet when it comes to letting a property, where the stakes are far higher, there are many landlords and tenants entrusting their money with an agent who is not regulated.

More and more are increasingly finding out to their cost the error of the ways – after being left out of pocket to the tune of many thousands of Pounds.

And it’s not just the man or woman in the street who is falling victim to these scams.

So too are high-profile celebrities, such as TV actor Nigel Havers. So angry was the Coronation Street star with having been fleeced out of £1,300 by an unregulated agent that he took to national TV warning tenants and landlords of the risks of dealing

with agents that did not meet the strict membership criteria of industry bodies such as ARLA and NALS. He warned viewers of BBC TV’s Watchdog programme to do so at their peril – there is no comeback from dealing with a rogue agent who has no protection scheme in place to safeguard your money whether it is tenants’ deposits or landlords’ rental income.

All responsible letting agents display the SafeAgent logo – offering customers complete peace of mind that client money is protected in an official scheme.

Havers, a familiar face on the small screen for over 30 years, told presenter Anne Robinson: “Just like my money, the agent who rented the property has disappeared.”

Many people are not in a position to buy their own homes and will be renting for many years to come. It is therefore of the utmost importance to choose a letting agent with whom you know your money is protected.

editor’s note Thanks to Paul Mitchell, Branch Manager, Linley & Simpson. Station Road, Horsforth.

We urgently require...

2, 3 and 4 bed houses £700 to £1000 pcm.

We have 400 potential tenants registered with us, looking in that price bracket!

Don’t just take our word for it, see what some of our current landlords are saying…

“We value the fact that they have a very acute understanding of the demands of the letting market in each of the areas in which they operate”

“Linley and Simpson epitomise professionalism.

I have always found them to be extremely helpful and polite” Mr G, Wakefield

thinking of extending your home?

Here are some simple steps which could save you time & money.

Firstly find a Local Architectural Consultant or Architect, who you think you can work with, someone willing to listen to your ideas and work to your budget, but at the same time come up with an interesting design and also be aware of any planning issues in your area.

Dependent on how complicated your building project is you can have your drawings done by a Local Architectural Consultant which will keep your costs to a minimum as Architects can often be very expensive.

Review the design options with your Architectural Consultant and don’t be afraid to talk about what you want. Try to find the best use of space as extending can often add value to the future sale price, whether or not this is an extension, loft conversion or garage conversion.

Before the extension (turn to page 20 to see the completed building work)

Ideally you should make a list of all the changes/ ideas that you want to incorporate and discuss it with your Architectural Consultant.

Do you need planning permission?

Speak to your Architectural Consultant regarding obtaining all necessary Planning Permissions and Building Regulation Approvals for the work you intend to carry out.

20 Property Matters

The current permitted development rules now make the whole process of extending your property a lot easier. You’ll be surprised how much extra space you can get without going down the full planning route.

In terms of costs your overall budget should include Architectural Consultant’s, Local Authority & Engineer’s fees, as well as adding on VAT which often gets forgotten about. Likewise it is recommended that you include an amount as a contingency sum.

Try not to deviate from the final plan/quote as once you have agreed the quote changes invariably become extra costs so you should try and avoid them.

Use local tradespeople as they will want to keep their reputation in the area and often are more reliable.

Ideally try to get at least 2 or 3 quotes and always check examples of their work.

When you have chosen your contractor, make sure that you have a written contract before you commence work. This would typically include details of scheduling & costs.

Remember the more you plan, the more you will save in the long run.

The complete effect: after the extension

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

Go Glam!

This Is Chelsea, The Only Way Is Essex. If these programmes have taught us anything it’s that glamour is on-trend. Whilst the ladies of Chelsea might be more understated than the glamourpusses in Essex, the message is clear – Go Glam!

If you’re more akin to jeans and a jumper, don’t worry – here’s Covered’s 5 top tips for getting ahead in the glamour race.

1

Get a tan

Orange is not a natural skin tone, nor is it particularly appealing so try and steer clear of budget methods for home application. Under the sun is of course the best place to get a natural tan (taking precautions such as skin block). If you can’t rely on a regular dose of sun or want an instant glow, visit an established salon for a spray tan or jump on a sunbed. Salon’s will offer a range of advice and should have your safety in mind too.

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

2

Put some bounce in your hair

‘flat’ or ‘lifeless’ are not positive words when it comes to glamour. ‘Volume’ and ‘shape’ are. And the good news is- back combing your hair is back on the menu! Blow dry your hair upside down, add loadsa hairspray and pin up appropaitely for a mane worthy of Farrah Fawcett! – or Cheryl Cole- depending on your genaration…

3

Paint your lips

Remember the bluish tinge your lips took on during the long winter months? Well no more pale mouths! Paint your lips using this seasons brightest colours, whether that be scarlet, apricot, fuscia or wine, don’t forget a slick of moisturisng colour when stepping out of the house this Summer.

4

Don’t forget your fingertips

We are all guilty of neglecting our nails, but remember they say a lot about our general health (brittle, dry with white spots anyone?)

Lets treat our nails with a bit of respect and give them centre stage for once. Bright nail polish gives a playful, fun and lighthearted twist to your outfit and should be considered a must have accessory!

Please yourself!

Ditch the pastels and earthy tones. Cast out neutrals and show the world your confident side!

There’s nothing wrong with wearing a beautiful, understated blouse, or perfectly put togther trouser suit- but it doesn’t scream FUN! Step out of your comfort zone this Summer and dress to impress. Choose bright colours to reflect your mood, choose a flattering cut to make you feel good, and select those shoes that are just that extra inch higher than your everyday shoe, just to shake things up a bit.

If you’re still struggling for inspiration, bob in to an independant salon or boutique.

You’re far more likely to receive true customer service and genuine advice often lacking in the chain stores.

Horses and Hats at Wetherby Racecourse

It’s party time – many workgroups and friends made a night of it. These ladies had just cabbed in from Harrogate.

Being an entirely National Hunt (jumps) racecourse, Wetherby pulled down its Tote betting shutters for the summer on 30 May and won’t be raising them again until 16 October. Though they certainly went out in style. Their annual Ladies’ Evening was complemented by a hat show presented by Leeds College of Art and showing the creations of eleven of their final year students.

There were several mini-shows that evening, each concluded by a group line-up.

26 Animal Matters

We’re a nation of dog lovers, or so it seems! Since our first Pick of the Paws last month we’ve been inundated with snaps of your hounds. No cats, no gerbils, no pot-bellied pigs, not even a guinea pig!

Here’s our pick of the photos sent in.

CASSIE

1

This is Cassie, a five year old Staffordshire X rescued by Rosie Dutton and family from Dogs Trust - they had found her wandering the streets. Now, Cassie loves nothing more that chasing her ball all day and curling up in front of the fire on a cold day. Rosie told us “She's one in a million!”

3

CASSIDY

This distinguished young chap is Cassidy, a Sheltland Sheepdog who lives with Chris Myatt of Farsley. Chris told us “He is four years old, and is very loving and friendly with people. His favourite callers are the Milkman (because he gets some treats) and the Postman who has made a fuss of him since he was an eight week old puppy. His favourite foods are crab, lobster and cheese and he loves licking the creamy top off a pint of Guinness!”

Thanks to everyone for sending your snaps in – sorry we couldn’t print them all in this edition. Keep them coming though and remember, it’s not just for the canines! Send us images of your pet along with a few words about them to: info@covered-magazine.net

2

MA X

Life’s a beach for Max, a three year old tri-coloured Border Collie. He loves going for long walks on Otley Chevin or by the canal with companions Rachael and Matt Coates. He can also be found taking up all the space on the sofa or the bed having a nap!

He loves meeting new people and having his belly scratched but is very stubborn when playing fetch because he just won’t fetch!

Animal Matters

27

All Creatures Great and Small Have you ever considered a Guinea Pig as a pet? For the beneficiaries at local charity, Caring For Life looking after small mammals such as guinea pigs and rabbits has shown very clear health benefits.

While learning new skills of animal husbandry, the young ladies who work at CFL have very much enjoyed the calming effect of stroking and handling the animals. The small mammals project really does help improve self-esteem and sense of self worth.

CFL have three banks of cages set up at the farm, currently holding about 30 guinea pigs. Go take a look if you’re considering buying one. Feeding and caring for these small animals is very therapeutic!

If you’d like a ‘pig’ of your own, keeping the animals in the best environment is crucial. At CFL’s Crag House Farm a cabin by the woods has been set aside - a delightful residence with electricity, hot water, disabled access and beautiful views. They’ve got a better deal than some humans! If you don’t have the space for a cabin (who does!) then a goodsized hutch or cage with a run is perfectly adequate, as long as there’s enough space to stand up and to exercise. Access to the run shouldn’t be a treat; it’s essential for good health. Do make sure the run and hutch (if outside) is fox-proof. Good pet shops will be able to advise on what is appropriate. Again, pet shops will advise on food and general care.

Leeds United formalised their relationship with Horsforth St Margaret’s youth sides in May. HSM is now LUFC’s feeder club for north Leeds and has some training sessions with Leeds’ highly qualified coaches.

Some sixty youngsters and their HSM coaches got exactly that on 18 May.

Leeds United Seals the ROCKETS SEEK BOOST Deal in Horsforth IN NUMBERS Leeds United is the only Football League side serving the Leeds area. Many fans remember their successes in the early nineties, and some of those the glory years in the early seventies. So, Championship League LUFC is always under pressure to provide a Premiership profile in the county of Yorkshire.

One of the ways LUFC engages with the county’s footballing community is by investing in coaching at both central and local levels. The club’s own academy is at Thorp Arch, with several satellite training centre dotted round the county. They also have feeder clubs in north, south, east and west Leeds – large clubs with a substantial youth element and a proven commitment to bringing them on. To that end, LUFC recently cemented their relationship with Horsforth St Margaret’s, formalising their appointment as Leeds’ feeder club for the north of the city.

It’s very much a two-way relationship. Yes, LUFC gets to spot and develop local exceptional talent. But the club’s youth teams, and their coaches, reap the rewards of being trained directly by Leeds’ highly qualified coaching staff. A win/win situation? Ask again in five years, maybe ten...

If you, or your Son, are aged 14-15 (school years 9 or 10), and are looking for a great way to spend a couple of hours a week then you might be interested to know Rodley Rockets ARLFC are looking to strengthen their U15's squad.

Aside from having a few fun hours a week, Rugby League is a great way to improve fitness, selfdiscipline and team/social skills.

Summer Rugby League training sessions are held at Canal Ground, Rodley (next to The Nature Reserve).

The U15's team train Wednesday evenings 6.30 - 8pm, with League games played on a Sunday. On offer is a fun, friendly, well organised and competitive environment, with coaching by fully qualified RFL coaching staff who all hold current CRB's.

Never played before? Not a problem - the coaching staff are there to help teach you all the skills you need to enjoy playing Rugby League. Why not try it out and see if it’s for you?

Rodley Rockets are also recruiting in other age groups too, from 4 years old to Open Age (boys and girls). All new players are welcome.

Get involved Women and Girls’ Football July is officially Women’s Football Month with the UEFA Euro Finals in Sweden and the 20th anniversary of women’s football at The FA. Football is now the most popular team sport for women and girls in the UK, with interest increasing in the game following the GB’s team strong performance at last year’s Olympics and England installed as 4th favourites for July’s European Championships starting in Sweden on 10th July.

BBC3 will be showing England’s opening game against Spain at 7.30pm on Friday 12th July, whilst there are opportunities to get involved in the game at grassroots levels in the North and West of Leeds.

On Wednesday 3rd July 2013 Leeds Trinity University will host a prestigious FA Girls’ Football Festival. The programme is a joint initiative by The FA Women’s Super League (WSL), its lead partner Continental Tyres, Sport England and UEFA. The FA Girls’ Football Festivals will visit various venues up and down the country over the coming months providing girls with an exciting, interactive football experience. The festival offers something for everyone and is inclusive to all levels of ability, from youngsters enjoying their first involvement with football to regular players. The FA are looking to encourage at least 300 girls to attend from local schools.

The programme will see informal, lively, festival style events which combine football, lifestyle and music to encourage girls to get involved. Those attending will also get the chance to play with the stars of the game as members of the England squad and FA WSL stars will also be at every event to meet, chat and have a kickabout with the girls. The festival has 3 key aims, these are to drive participation, recruit new players, retain existing players and finally to raise awareness of the FA Women’s Super League.

So if your local school is new to the game or love it already, please encourage them to bring their girl’s team along to The FA Girls' Football Festival at Leeds Trinity University. For more information and how to enter – Please contact Caroline Hulme, Women and Girls Football Development Officer on caroline. hulme@wrcfa.com If you are looking for an opportunity for your daughter to get involved in girls football, watch out for a number of soccer or multi-sports clubs, if they are ready to join a team great examples locally of girls football are Horsforth St Margaret’s (www.hsmafc.com) and Guiseley (www.guiseleyjuniors.co.uk), Wortley FC Ladies (www.wortleyfc.org.uk) and Farsley AFC Ladies (www.farsleyafc.com) For more information on Women and Girls football and how to get involved please visit the following link were you can find your local Women and Girls Football club: http://www.westridingfa.com/~/media/countysites/ wrfa/documents/women-and-girls-football-provisionsbooklet-2012-2013-(2).ashx

Local Matters

Calverley Gets Busy – and Creative The local arts and community scene in Calverley was particularly busy on the second Saturday in June.

Calverley Methodist Church held a local produce, arts and crafts market while Champion House care home held their summer fête. On top of those more regular events, Creative Calverley was also promoting and supporting Calverley’s first folk day. Centred in New Inn, the day included three other venues ready for any occasional open mic contributions.

New Inn had seven acts booked between 1pm and “late”, plus a few extra slots for open mic contributants who wanted to get noticed. When Covered visited the event, local folk singer Heather Woodhead was just completing her open air session in the beer garden at New Inn while Otley folk band Reel Jiggy was setting up indoors. Irish jiggy. Plus an occasional hint of country. Well received.

Organiser Kathy Griffith told Covered that afternoon; “I’m so relieved. A lot of work, a lot of nerves. But here it is. So well supported. Several of those involved have yet to take a good look at the figures, but we’d all dearly love to hold a similar event next year.”

The sun shines on Calverley – Heather Woodhead had just completed her lunchtime slot at New Inn.

The sign of summer: Strawberries should be flowering well – use nets or curtains to protect crops as they grow.

fill your freezers with this delicious crop, and look forward to rhubarb crumbles all over the winter.

We hope all the frosts have now passed, and it is safe to plant out all the tender perennials you have been keeping warm indoors. These may include dahlias, chrysanthemums, pelargonium and many others. There is also still time to sow seed of half hardy annuals, draw patterns in the soil when sowing them to create a stunning display when they flower. Delphiniums, lupins, echiums and other hardy plants are all growing tall; insert stakes to keep them upright.

Large house plants benefit from a summer holiday, so stand them outside in a sunny and sheltered spot – remembering to feed them and water on a regular basis. It is also useful to use either organic or non organic sprays on a regular basis, to prevent any build ups of pests and diseases in your garden. Slugs and snails are a perennial problem, so continue to use your favourite method of keeping them under control.

Strawberries and other soft fruits are flowering well, which means using nets or curtains to protect your crops as they develop. Our wet spring has made rhubarb crowns grow exceptionally well, and cropping may continue to the end of July. This means you can

In the vegetable garden, continue to earth up your potatoes as the green shoots appear above the soil.

Pigeons and other birds delight in stripping the leaves of any green vegetable plant, which means using imaginative bird scarers like suspended CDs, stuffed birds of prey or nets. Be vigilant and continue to plant small quantities of your favourite vegetables every two weeks.

That has the play starting four years earlier than Calverley Players was founded – they are celebrating their seventieth anniversary this year. actor Richard Knowles is faced with the dilemma of deciding which of his two girlfriends he should With the exception of Stan (played by Phil keep – he evidently can’t keep both any longer.

Sing for Heroes 2013! New choir seeks 40 men to sing their hearts out!

If the only audience to hear you sing is your collection of rubber ducks in the bathroom you might be a little shy at unleashing your vocal talents in public. But award winning choral conductor Will Prideaux is convinced he could get you hitting the right notes in just 12 weeks as part of a new male choir.

Sing for Heroes! is being launched with the aim of taking 40 men with a range of musical experience (including none!) and - over the course of 12 weeks – preparing them for a gala concert in aid of Help for Heroes in the spectacular setting of Leeds Town Hall.

As the brains behind the project Will is not facing an easy task, but his credentials as Musical Director of both Leeds and Peterborough Male Voice Choirs should stand him in good stead. Will told Covered: "The whole idea of the project is to bring these people together as a community. We are creating a situation where they can come and have a go, get a warm welcome and not be judged”.

To get the Sing for Heroes! project up and running introductory sessions are being held at the Carriageworks on Millennium Square on 11th and 12th July. Interested in getting involved? Email singforheroes@live.com or call John England on 07853 986034 for a free information pack.

THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOWBUSINESS FOR FULNECK DRAMATIC SOCIETY Clocking up more than 60 years in showbusiness is no mean feat.

But that’s exactly what a Pudsey-based theatre group has achieved, bringing home countless awards along the way.

Fulneck Dramatic Society started life in the 1950s as a church drama group, founded by members of the Moravian Church in Fulneck. Since then, it has grown into one of the region’s top local theatre companies, with around 25 active members, supported by an enthusiastic and faithful audience who keep coming back for more.

The group now operates out of the Comenius Arts Centre in Fulneck and stages three productions a year. Its spring production, a sell-out success shown at the end of April, was Boeing Boeing, a 1960s French farce about a bachelor with three mistresses who all work as airhostesses.

Fulneck Dramatic Society chairman Dave Robbins says that the group likes to tackle a wide range of material.

“We have staged all sorts of plays over the years,” he says. “Last summer, for example, we did Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, which we re-set in the 1950s to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. We performed it outside, on the edge of Fulneck Golf Course, and despite it being one of the wettest summers on record, it was a big success.

“We do everything from comedies to more serious productions, and although Comenius Arts Centre is possibly one of the most inaccessible theatres in the UK, we still manage to get bums on seats – a recent production was so popular we had a waiting list for return tickets.”

The society’s members take part in all aspects of the productions, from starring in the shows to First Mile

£2.50

working backstage, and Dave says that the group has nurtured talent all the way to Hollywood.

“Several of our members have gone on to act professionally, and working with the society has been a great training ground for them. One of our actors, Adam Shaw, had a part in the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan, and is due to appear in a film with Helen Mirren later this year. He’s also appeared in productions at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and the Young Vic in London.

“Other members have gone on to study at drama school before pursuing careers on stage or screen.”

The group has picked up several awards over the years, notably at the Wharfedale Festival of Performing Arts – the ‘Oscars’ of the local theatre world – where they have won the award for Best Overall Production five times in the last eight years, most recently for last year’s comedy The Happy Apple, set in a 1970s advertising agency.

They are currently planning their next two productions for 2013, which are likely to be a comedy in the autumn and a children’s play at Christmas, and Dave says they are always on the lookout for new talent to add to their ranks.

“We’re interested in working with a diverse range of people, of all ages, who have talent and have the time to commit to the group,” he adds. “We also welcome new patrons who want to support us.”

Brendan Jordan has lived in Leeds all his life. He worked at Bridgecraft for eighteen years before starting up Jordan Upholstery.

“I’ve been manufacturing suites for the best part of 30 years. Although we’ve traditionally supplied to trade, recently we’ve made the decision to open our doors to the general public. With us, you’re buying direct from the manufacturer, so you can have the choice of style, size and fabric without paying astronomical prices.

Anyone calling in will deal with me personally and I’ll oversee everything, right through to delivery. You’ll never get lost in the system with us; we are small enough to give the personal touch but large enough to deliver. All our furniture is hand made in our on-site factory so we control the quality from start to finish and are able to offer you the highest standards of craftsmanship and, of course, exceptional value for money.”
