Local girl raises £375 for Tadcaster Community Library by making homemade face masks Abigail began volunteering at the library in May 2019 as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Award, starting with her Bronze then moving on to silver. When the Library had to close in March this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the resourceful student decided to carry on volunteering for the library in a different way Tadcaster Echo caught up with Abigail to find out more about her project. What inspired you to take on this project? I was inspired by my mum to find a way to continue my DofE while in lockdown. I was getting frustrated about the amount of single-use masks and wanted to help provide more reusable options while raising money for Tadcaster Community Library.
Do you plan to continue to sell the masks in the future? I am now in Year 11 and need to focus on my studies so I am not able to do as many as I have done previously. I am still doing masks for previous customers that have asked and some of my friends that wanted one. I was making masks for ‘Shoes at Knaresborough’ to sell in the shop and Tracy, the lovely lady from the shop, keeps in touch and requests more as she needs them. How much have you raised? I raised £375 for Tadcaster Community Library and from the masks I have made since handing the money over there is another £23 which I plan to donate to another charity, just not sure which yet.

Is it easy to make the masks? I have had a sewing machine for quite a while now so I found it easy but I did improve my method the more I made.

The Little Teapot Tearoom thrives once again and celebrates its second birthday It has been two years since The Little Teapot Tearoom opened its doors and its owners hope to remain open now lockdown restrictions have been lifted
Based at The Old Girls’ School, one of the last historical building in Sherburn in Elmet, the tearoom prides itself on serving delicious cakes and coffee to the community and being a great place to host a celebration. Tadcaster Echo decided to have a catch up with Dawn Jacques, who runs the tearoom, along with daughter, Faye, to find out more about how it all started and what they have been up to in the last few months. Dawn told Tadcaster Echo: “From being a little girl I have had a passion for baking. My nana loved to bake and I was always keen to help her. Over time my passion grew and I decided that this was going to be my career path. I became a fully qualified chef and spent many years in busy kitchens until I had my children. I have always dreamt of running my own tearoom where my homemade cakes and bakes could be tried and enjoyed by all. “When we saved The Old Girls’ School from potential demolition seven years ago, it was decided that a tearoom would be a great asset to the community. This got my cogs turning. With the support of all my family I decided to take a leap of

faith and created
The Little Teapot Tearoom. Faye, my daughter, has also grown up with baking around her and likes to have a dabble in the kitchen and try new recipes. However her passion is people, she loves to make everyone feel welcome and at home. I asked Faye if she would like to join me as I started my new venture and we have been an unstoppable team since. “The name we chose for our tearoom is based around the nursery rhyme ‘I’m a Little Teapot’ which I used to sing when I attended The Old Girls’ School as a little girl myself. This makes our tearoom even more special to me. “The last couple of years have been incredible, all our hard work has paid off and our little tearoom was really thriving. We thought from now on the only way is forwards, that was until coronavirus.
Issue 50 - October/November 2020
“When we heard the news that all pubs, restaurants and cafés had to close, we were devastated. Just as things were really taking off we had to close our doors. Not only did we have to deal with our own upset, we also had to break the news to our lovely customers and cancel their planned celebrations. Every conversation got harder as we knew how much they had been looking forward to what they had planned. “Once we wrapped our head around things we decided to use this time in a positive way and concentrate on the future and reopening the Tearoom. It is fair to say our lockdown was no holiday. We put down our whisks and picked up a paint brush. Our little tearoom and furniture was given a fresh coat of paint, a very deep spring clean and we even added some new touches to the decoration. “Since reopening we have been very busy. We have introduced a new takeaway menu as well as new tasty homemade cakes and bakes, the tearoom
has once again found its buzz and we have a new positive outlook on our future. We have recently held an Alzheimer’s day ‘Cuppa for a cause’. What a busy day that was. We raised a total of £508 which just blew us away. None of this would’ve been possible without our customers, the support that we have received during this very strange time has been phenomenal and we will be forever grateful. “Our second anniversary was a day that we had been looking forward to for many months. Luckily after lots of worrying, we got to celebrate our special day and was so relived to do so. We wasted no time digging out the birthday bunting to celebrate with our lovely customers. What a week we had, so much happiness, positivity and not to mention beautiful sunshine. “We are so excited to find out what else will be in store for our little tearoom in the years to come. After all the challenges it has already faced I feel we can handle anything. Here’s to our next anniversary.”

TADCASTER COMMUNITY SWIMMING POOL SAVED AFTER IT SECURES CASH BOOST Last issue, Tadcaster Echo reported on how Tadcaster Community Swimming Pool, which had remained closed since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, was in danger of closing permanently if support wasn’t given We can now share the fantastic news that the fitness centre has now reopened after receiving a £100,000 boost from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund, distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund. Chris Porter, the facility manager, commented: “It is an amazing amount of money to be awarded. This money will now be used to get the facility ready for our customers and support us over the next six months. “The current industry restrictions and particularly the reduced capacity meant that if we reopened we would have made significant losses each month. It has been a very difficult six months of closure
Page 16
and we would like to thank the support from the community, everyone has been fantastic.” As it is a charitable organisation, Tadcaster Community Swimming Pool relies heavily on customers visiting the centre. Now more than ever the facility needs the communities support to ensure its doors can remain open. Although your visit may be a little different for a while, the team at Tadcaster Community Swimming Pool have worked hard to make the venue safe and the people of Tadcaster can now get their fitness fix. For more information, please visit Tadcaster Community Swimming Pool on Facebook for regular updates.

Please mention Tadcaster Echo when calling advertisers
Aquarius
(20th Jan-18th Feb) Life feels happier when relationships are harmonious. If domestic life has been contentious, be the first to offer an olive branch.
Pisces
(19th Feb-20th March) Friends are excited to hear about a project you have begun. You feel certain something good is going to happen soon. People are inspired by your optimism.
Aries
Gemini
(21st May-20th June) A friend or colleague will try to sweet talk you into a decision that will benefit them more than you. Look after your own interests.
Cancer
(21st June- 22nd July) If you’re growing bored with a job that is repetitive, you would do better to find someone else to help you or better still, take over this responsibility.
Leo
Libra
(23rd Sept-22nd Oct) As much as it vexes you to have to wait for other people to make decisions, you have no choice but to be patient. You will not be disappointed with their final decision.
Scorpio
(23rd Oct-21st Nov) A friend could become fixated on trivialities and rather than let them waste your time by dragging you into their concerns, leave them to it.
Sagittarius
(21st March-19th April) Some people like to get their own way and won’t take no for an answer. They wouldn’t think twice about turning down your ideas if it didn’t suit them. Say no and mean it.
(23rd July-22nd Aug) News received will change your future prospects dramatically. You have a lot to think about and this is why you won’t be discussing everything with your friends.
(22nd Nov-21st Dec) You’re ready to make a big change in your life. You’ve chosen to pursue a path that is very different to anything you have tried in the past.

(22nd Dec-19th Jan) If someone is asking for too much but you would like to help them, you could always come to a compromise. Your prospects for career success are strong.
