elcome to our December edition.
The Handy Mag office was becoming all a bit too stressful for Nicky and me to handle by ourselves and we urgently needed more help. Holly started work with us in early October and it has been great having an extra pair of hands. Nicky and I used to have separate offices but we got a bit fed up of walking from one to the other to ask simple questions so removed the partition. This has worked well as we can now shout to each other across the office without leaving our desks! I’m not sure what Holly thinks of this but deadline weeks are just too busy to move far from our screens! I’ve always preferred the chat in an open office as I’m not one for working quietly but the main issue has been whether to have the radio on or not. Nicky likes background music to help her concentrate but I find it irritating – especially the current music charts that I can’t sing along to. Oh dear I’m sounding so old! We agreed on ‘easy listening’ as both of us could just about bear it but with Holly now there as well I’ve been out-voted and a more up-to-date music station is usually playing! Perhaps Dubstep, EDM or even Grime will help us all work more efficiently but I expect we’ll be listening to Christmas carols and songs this month along with our daily mince pies! What is Santa bringing you this Christmas? I never thought I’d say this after many a wet and soggy camp with young children, but we’re thinking of buying a new tent to take on holiday next year – just me, my husband and the dogs. I’m sort of missing the waking up on a campsite and breakfasts in the open air. We just need to find the good weather next year! Well done to Helen Orchison for winning our October competition. A very Happy Christmas to you all.

On the 2nd of December last year the AA attended an average of 1150 breakdowns every hour! The cold and icy conditions mean it’s not just you that needs an extra layer or two of protection. To ensure you and your family stay safe on the roads this winter we’ve designed our Winter Safety Check to provide that extra protection.

Friday 8 December to Sunday 17 December
hristmas wouldn’t be the same without Charles Dickens but did you know that he was a regular visitor to Malton? In the early 19th century, a building in Chancery Lane, Malton housed the Smithson family law practice. As part of his training, Charles Smithson spent time in London, where became a friend of Charles Dickens. When Smithson returned to Malton, Dickens would come to visit him and explore Yorkshire. It is believed that Dickens modelled Scrooge’s Counting House in A Christmas Carol on the Chancery Lane premises and that the church bells which feature so prominently in the novel were modelled on those of St Leonard’s on Church Hill. Enjoy a weekend with Dickens in Malton this December. 8th December Lunchtime BIG SING local primary school children will be performing festive songs at The Milton Rooms. 9th December Victorian Street Theatre and horse and carriage rides in Malton. 10th December Lunchtime performance at the Milton Rooms of Penny Plain Street Theatre Christmas readings, Christmas Songs plus solo performance by Brian Oxberry of ‘A Christmas Carol’. 16th December 4.30pm We will have a special screening of Miriam Margolyes new Christmas film, ‘The Man Who Invented Christmas’. This will take place at the Palace Cinema with an audience Q&A with Miriam afterwards. Tickets £12 (plus Booking Fee).

Carols at Old Malton Priory
CHRISTMAS CAROLS
The Old Malton Community Singalong choir will join St Mary’s choir at Old Malton Priory church on Sunday 17 December at 6.30pm for the annual Christmas Nine Lessons & Carols service. The Community choir was formed only 3 months ago and have, so far, sung through folk songs, spirituals, Beatles and Carpenters. The Christmas season is an ideal time for hearty singing, and all are welcome to join in this big annual event. In the New Year, the Community Singalong choir will be looking for a voluntary leader. Anyone enthusiastic enough to help us in this will be most welcome. The choir meets at 8pm for an hour on the first and third Monday evenings of the month in St Mary’s Parish Hall, Old Malton. Members do not pay subscriptions and meet just for the fun of singing popular songs. More information is available from philip.baxter@live.com or 01944 758 996.

The Magic of a Handmade Christmas at Burton Agnes Hall
Simon and Olivia Cunliffe-Lister, with the keen help of their five children and a small army of local supporters, decorate their Elizabethan home to create a magical wonderland with traditional and contemporary handmade decorations. ‘We love thinking of creative ways to embellish the Hall, and spend many months dreaming up and handmaking quirky, original decorations including a Christmas tree made from books, glorious knitting, a rainbow room, geometric paper baubles and crochet angels.’ Young visitors can find homemade snowman dolls, hidden in each room! When dusk falls, Christmas cheer is plentiful: with the topiary bushes strewn with lights, the warm glow of the fire in the Great Hall, visitors leave full of the joys of Christmas. Enjoy festive treats in the café and unusual decorations and gifts in the courtyard shops. Little ones can also visit Father Christmas in our new courtyard grotto every Christmas opening weekend.

Then Father Christmas will be flying around the towns and villages of north Ryedale over the next fortnight to make it a Christmas to remember for hundreds of children who come out to see him. Santa’s elves from the Lions Club will be with the sleigh and collecting door-to-door in their biggest fund-raising event of the year, hoping to top the record £8,800 collected last year for the benefit of local charities. “The smiles on the faces of so many children meeting Santa make it a great night to remember and the money that local people donate will make it a brighter New Year for many deserving causes,” said Ryedale Lions organiser Brian Johnson.

MALTON, NORTON & DISTRICT LIONS SCHEDULE Malton and Norton Lions Club has been polishing up the sleigh and brushing the reindeer in preparation for their hugely popular Santa’s Sleigh which will be taking to the streets of towns and villages in Ryedale. The massive fundraising drive sees Santa, the Lions elves and little helpers tour Malton and Norton and 38 villages in 17 days bringing Christmas cheer to families across the district. Now in its 22nd year, last year’s Sleigh rides raised a whopping £16,000 which is used by the Lions throughout the rest of the year to support charities and individuals in need in the area. Recent donations have been made to Next Steps, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Sherburn Imagination Library and the Ryedale Foodbank. Lion Chief Elf 2017, Ian Dewhurst, said: “Santa’s Sleigh is
our biggest fundraiser of the year – everyone gets involved and enjoys the build up to the festive season. People of all ages love seeing the sleigh every year and really look forward to Santa’s visit to their street or village. “Local people’s generosity makes a huge difference to the charitable giving that Malton and Norton Lions are able to offer throughout the rest of the year.” Santa will be appearing at Malton and Norton Christmas Lights switch ons and then heads out on tour as follows: Saturday 2 December Scampston, Rillington, Scagglethorpe, Settrington Sunday 3 December Bulmer, Welburn, Crambeck, Huttons Ambo, Milton Ridge Monday 4 December Wentworth St, Horsemarket Rd, Middlecave - Castle Howard Rd Tuesday 5 December Hovingham, Fryton, Slingsby, Barton & Appleton

alton District Male Voice Choir is gearing up for festive family fun again after an autumn of concert performances across Ryedale and East Yorkshire. Now in its eleventh year, the choir will hold its annual Christmas concert for all the family on Sunday 10th December at 3pm in St Michael’s Church on Malton Market Place. The choir, under its Musical Director Vivien Wilcock and with Moira Gray at the piano, will sing traditional songs and carols. Guest and choir soloists will also be part of the show and interval refreshments will hopefully include the usual mince pies. The Christmas concert follows another busy time for the choir. In November, the Malton men joined choirs from across the region once again in Bridlington for the Festival of Choirs and Voices. In August the choir held another coastal concert in Scarborough when they were invited to perform at the spectacular Queen Street Methodist Church. In mid September the Malton men came back home for what proved to be a very successful “Decade of Song” anniversary concert in St Michael’s Church. Well-attended, it included an unusual combination of vocal and instrumental guest solo performances which won particular audience praise along with a “blast from the past” selection of songs from the choir itself. The choir then visited Cropton Village in early October in what is becoming a popular local annual engagement. Followed by a debut appearance in Scagglethorpe for cancer support, and entertained in Malton at its first ever private birthday function. Malton District Male Voice Choir meets most Monday evenings 7.30-9.30pm in Malton Baptist Church Community Hall. Newcomers are always welcome, with or without singing experience. For details or to book the choir call Secretary David Ackroyd (01944 758693), Chairman Tom Todd (01653 692362) or visit www.mdmvc.co.uk

we were so impressed with the quality, character and creativity of the Croft’s hand-made decorations, and we are thrilled to be working with them again. The decorations are the perfect accompaniment to our locally grown trees which been carefully nurtured here at Scampston by our woodsman. We have trees in all shapes and sizes, to suit all people and spaces! A tree from Scampston is a tree with personality.”

The Perfect Christmas Gift
W
hat do you buy a loved one for Christmas? The usual array of socks, slippers and ‘smellies’. Well worry no more...what about an electric toothbrush? These truly useful gifts vary in cost from £15 for the most basic to well over £200 for the most advanced. Some of these brushes link up to your smart phones and monitor brushing. Not quite the same as having the dentist looking over your shoulder but great for all those that love a gadget! We recommend a round headed brush as these are fantastic for getting right into the corners of the mouth. They work even in the smallest of mouths and tend to make you gag less when brushing the very back teeth These areas are often when gum problems start. The mid range models have both oscillation and rotating brush movement which has been clinically proven to clean more effectively than a manual brush. As a dentist I recognised the benefits of a reasonable quality electric brush when I noticed an improvement in the oral health of a number of patients. One thing to bear in mind is that the toothbrush heads will still need replacing at least every 3 months. These are usually about the price of a good quality manual brush. You will still also need to continue to use interdental cleaning aids as they don’t get right between your teeth. For expert advice on what brush to buy and what interdental brush would work best for you ask your dentist. Whilst an electric toothbrush might not be the most romantic gift it will be a twice daily reminder you care. Look for pre Christmas special offers and remember the oscillating/rotating feature which I would regard as essential. For expert dental advice contact Jan and book an appointment today.

Happy Christmas FROM RYEDALE CHURCHES
Christmas Message from Rt. Revd Dr John Thomson, Bishop of Selby.
Thank-you for inviting me to share a Christmas message with you in the Ryedale Handy Mag. Here it is! Christmas keeps on surprising me. As a child I was surprised to discover that Christmas was cold in England involving something called snow and that many people ate an unusual bird called a turkey for Christmas lunch. I grew up in Uganda, East Africa, where Christmas was always warm, there were no turkeys or snow and we spent Christmas Day running round the garden puzzled that anyone would dress up like Father Christmas in that heat. Father Christmas also surprised me since although each year I carefully wrote to him at the North Pole with a list of sought after presents, he never seemed to deliver what I wanted! So the long dark nights, the cold, the cards, the decorated homes, the sparkling lights and the colourful shops of my first Christmas in England aged 12 surprised me then and still surprise me decades later. I love this great celebration of light and giving at the darkest time of the year. Yet, for me, the most surprising thing about Christmas is the story itself. God with us as a fragile baby born into a precarious world. God born into a modest family whose first visitors were rough shepherds, outsiders in their society. God as baby meeting us in a way all human beings can relate to. Whether in Uganda or in England people are drawn to this story and its surprising claim that God evokes our love as a vulnerable baby does. Of course the story develops and Christmas is
only the beginning. The baby grows up into a man whose faithfulness to his calling leads to his horrific execution. The shadow of a cross falls over the crib. So Christmas and Easter belong together. God as baby and God as executed criminal tell us a surprising story about the sort of God Christians follow. This is Immanuel, God with us. This is Jesus risen, the Lord our Saviour. This is the God of surprises. I wish you all a joyful Christmas.

Is your small business website performing as it should do? By Rob Davies, It'seeze Ryedale
A
great website is one that provides real, measurable value to your organisation. Here’s our list of the top 10 essential elements.
1. A defined purpose
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there! Every great website needs a clearly defined purpose – what you’re trying to achieve, who you’re trying to reach, how you’re going to engage with them, and what you want them to do.
2. Responsive design
In 2018, your customers could be accessing your site from any number of different devices – desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones, or a combination of all of these. Responsive design is no longer optional, it’s essential.
3. Easy navigation
Your website needs to be easy to use – and clear, simple navigation is integral to this. Forget artsy interfaces and innovation - web visitors need to be able to find the information they are looking for quickly and easily, or they will go elsewhere.
4. Clear calls to action
Every page on your website should have a clear goal, and a call to action. Think about what you want your visitors to do – buy a product, call a number, fill out a form or sign up to a newsletter, and ensure that each page reflects that.
5. Reliable hosting
The best website can be ruined by poor quality hosting. Web visitors expect your site to load quickly and be working at all times or they will go elsewhere. Team up with a reliable, high quality
hosting partner, who is there to provide you with support and advice if your website ever goes down.
6. Trust factors
People buy from organisations they trust – and every website should include elements that reassure visitors that an organisation is a dependable, reliable and high quality provider.
7. Clear contact information
Make it as easy as possible for web visitors to do business with you. Having an up to date phone number, email address, contact form and directions (where appropriate) are essential.
8. Engaging copy
Content is king, and great web copy will improve any website. Impactful headlines, clear descriptions, and interesting, easy to read content that’s appropriate for your market and pitched at the right level for your audience is invaluable.
9. Great video
Video content is extremely powerful, and is perfect for delivering messages quickly, entertaining and engaging with website visitors, differentiating your business from the competition and driving additional traffic to your site.
10. Quality images
A picture speaks a thousand words – and poor photography and unsuitable images can ruin the best design. Invest in unique, professional imagery that reflects your business and supports your sales messages. Great images that complement your web design will also help you to showcase your personality and build a brand – boosting the performance of your website.

These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in. The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains: ‘Our watchwords are Quality,
Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford. Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles. At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers
lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’ So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or
small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!

Preparing Your Pet for Anaesthesia
Dr Sarah Hunter B.Vet Med MRCVS Station House Vets
AN INDEPENDENT PRACTICE ESTABLISHED 1984
Equine & Small Animal
Expect the best care everytime Putting your pet under general anaesthetic, however routine this may be is always a worrying time for any pet owner. However, at Station House Vets we do the best we can to minimise these risks. The risks of anaesthesia include swelling at the injection site, aspiration of food material, anaphylactic shock and death. We aim to reduce these risks by: • Advising you to fast your pet from the night before anaesthesia, which therefore reduces the chance of vomiting during the procedure. • Performing pre-anaesthetic blood tests to assess the major organs, helping us to pick up any abnormalities and change the anaesthetic plan if required. • Making adjustments to the anaesthetic plan based on age, breed and health status of the animal. • Placing an intravenous catheter in all patients, reducing the risk of reaction at the injection site and allowing us to have intravenous access throughout the procedure. • Ensuring that a nurse is monitoring the patient carefully during anaesthesia and into the recovery period. We all have pets ourselves so understand how you are feeling when your pet comes to visit us, if you would like to discuss a procedure and the associated risks in more detail, please make an appointment with one of our vets by calling 01653 618 303 or pick up a leaflet from the practice on “Anaesthesia and Your Pet”.

We would like to wish all our dogs, volunteers and supporters a very Happy Christmas! It has been another busy year for Ryedale Dog Rescue and we have successfully rescued and re-homed lots of unwanted and abandoned dogs into loving new homes. We would like to say a HUGE THANKYOU to everyone who has supported us this year. With Christmas fast approaching we would like to make a plea – PLEASE DO NOT BUY A PUPPY AS A PRESENT THIS CHRISTMAS. If you want to buy a gift for a dog lover why not sponsor one of our dogs instead? Many dogs bought as Christmas presents will find themselves unwanted in the new year. Charities like ours will hopefully be able to rescue them, but that’s not always the case. Make a rescue dog’s Christmas and donate to RDR this year. Every penny we raise is spent directly on our dogs.

Teddy is now approximately 5 years old and Mindy 4 years. They are full of life and love nothing better than running around and having lots of noisy play. They are massive characters and need a country home with plenty of secure space and an owner who will love them for just being them. Both fully vaccinated and neutered. Please contact us on the number below for more information about this lovely pair. (Please be aware that we do not re-home dogs over the festive period)
