Goole RSPCA Dog Show is

Goole and District RSPCA are thrilled to be back at West Park, Goole, for the annual Goole RSPCA Dog Show on Saturday 10th June, 1-4pm. As the cost-of-living crisis leads to an increased demand for Goole’s RSPCA services, every penny raised from this event will help volunteers to continue preventing cruelty and promoting kindness in the local area

Our Goole had a chat with Georgina Petty, Secretary for Goole and District RSPCA, to find out more about the event.

Georgina said: “Whether you reckon your prized pooch is the ‘Most Handsome Dog’ or have a good shout for the ‘Waggiest Tail’, there’s something for everyone. It’s only £1 for entry and 1st, 2nd and 3rd get their paws on a rosette and a goody bag. The categories are Best Child Handler (12yrs or under), Cutest Puppy (6-12mnths), Prettiest Bitch, Most Handsome Dog, Waggiest Tail, Prettiest Eyes, Sit and Wait, Best Groomed Dog and 10 Years and Over.

“Look out for the hilariously competitive Fun Run obstacle course followed by the finale, ‘Best in Show’. All winners of each class will automatically be entered into Best in Show for a chance to win the 2023 trophy. We have an

exciting addition to this year’s show with special demonstrations from Pro-Tec K9 dog trainers, who will also be on hand to answer your dog behaviour queries.”

Proudly sponsored by Rase Vets, there will be several stalls at the event including Yorkshire Swan Rescue Hospital, Families in Goole, Paul’s Country Kitchens, Heather’s Bunting and Bandanas, Don’s Ice Creams, Retired Greyhounds, Linbee Dog Home and Mamma Wins Pet Supplies. A few dog treats and pet-friendly gift stalls will be in attendance too. Not got a dog? No problem!

gifts for the tombola or cat treats. Don’t forget to try your luck on the RSPCA tombola and pet tombola. West Park Cafe and the Green Team’s mini garden centre on site will also be open.

Georgina added: “Thank you to all our judges, volunteers and stall holders for giving their time to this event. Whether you get your paws on pet-friendly goodies or want to treat yourself, there’s plenty to enjoy. We hope to promote responsible pet ownership and offer a fun day for all the family, whether four-legged or two-legged!”

FROM A POLICE

Lifestyle 2023

This month, Goole policing team talks to us about one of its youth engagement projects where young people aged 10-18 register to spend their summer holidays completing a project to benefit their community

“Lifestyle gives youngsters the chance to showcase the difference they can make in their local communities while building key skills such as team work, problem solving and communication and presentation skills.”

POLICE PERSPECTIVE:

For 34 years, tens of thousands of young people have registered for Lifestyle and taken on challenges that have made a huge difference to their local communities during the summer holidays.

In recognition of their work, we have been proud to offer a wide range of fantastic prizes over the years for the most innovative and successful projects undertaken. These include: a trip to London, UK adventure holidays, days out at Flamingo Land and many more.

Sergeant Nick Bunker said: “Lifestyle is a really important initiative which has seen some incredible results over the years.

“Lifestyle gives youngsters the chance to showcase the difference they can make in their local communities, whilst building key skills such as team work, problem solving and communication and presentation skills.

“Every year young people get together in groups and take on a challenge to help improve their community in some way.

“Over the years we have seen some incredibly innovative and inspiring activities. Teams have worked incredibly hard to make

improvements to their local area, supported members in their community and raised money for causes important to them.

“This includes setting up a mobile library to raise awareness about mental health, working with charities to promote organ donations, providing education about road safety, using recycled plastic to make a buddy bench for a local school and raising money for a defibrillator at a local playing field.

“Our Lifestylers were certainly busy and I really enjoyed hearing about all their creative ideas for each project. I hope this year proves equally popular and I look forward to seeing what this year’s Lifestylers get up to this summer.

“I would like to thank all those who help make Lifestyle possible and wish all participants the very best of luck.”

Aged 10-18 and fancy making a difference in your community and potentially winning a fantastic prize? Then look out for our PCSOs who will be visiting schools and colleges to promote Lifestyle 2023.

The Winners 2023

Businesses from across the local area were recognised at the 2023 Goole and Howdenshire Business Excellence Awards, which took place at Goole Academy on Friday 14 April

This year’s event was hosted by Blair Jacobs, a former presenter of BBC Radio Humberside, and featured entertainment from Hull-born Amy Gledhill, a comedian, actor, writer and winner of The BBC Caroline Aherne Bursary.

Garrey Haase, chair of the organising committee, said: “I’d like to thank everyone who entered and attended the awards evening, as well as all of our sponsors and supporters. We couldn’t do it without you all!

“Well done to all of our finalists and huge

congratulations to our very deserving winners!”

The judging panel chose Goole Sports Therapy as the recipient of the Harry Gration Business Of The Year Award, an accolade that had been renamed in honour of the late television presenter, who had compered the awards evening every year since it first began. The award was sponsored by PA Media and presented by Gareth Brammall.

The other big winner of the night was popular local butcher Philip Parkin, who was chosen by the organising committee to receive the

Tim Richardson Lifetime Achievement Award.

Philip, who runs Parkin Family Butchers, is a stalwart of Howden’s Market Place, and well known for his cheerful banter with customers, entertaining posts on social media and charity fundraising activities. Philip took over the family-run business from his parents, Roy and Sylvia, and has become something of a local celebrity with his cheerful personality, awardwinning YouTube videos and, of course, his farreaching knowledge of livestock, for which he is in big demand at country shows and auctions across the county.

An independent panel of judges waded through around 60 entries before coming up with their final shortlist and then choosing a winner for each of the award categories.

Property

expert David Leake of Housesetc says

if you’re thinking of selling your home, these next few months are the best time to put it on the market

Spring is the perfect time to sell

You know what’s great? Springtime! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and everything feels fresh and new. And you know what else is great? Selling your home during this time of year!

If you’re thinking about putting your house on the market, spring is the perfect time to do it. Why? Well, for starters, there are way more buyers out and about during this time of year. With the weather warming up, people are more willing to get out and look for their dream

Also if you open up the windows and let in some fresh air, your home will feel so much more inviting. And here’s the best part – you’ve got plenty of time to prepare for your move. With a few months to pack up your stuff and find a new place, you can avoid the stress and chaos that comes with last-minute moves. Plus, you’ll have more time to enjoy the weather and get excited about your new adventure.

So, what are you waiting for? Spring into action and put that “for sale” sign up at your house. You’ll be glad you did!
