elcome to our December edition which is a bonanza of Christmas services, fairs, parties and carol services. There is never a dull moment in Ryedale is there? The sheer variety of events taking place means that it’s pretty much impossible not to find some activity that floats your boat.

This year I’m giving in to an office Christmas tree. We’ve never really had the space before but this year Nicky and Imogen are insisting on a full-blown tree with lights, all the trimmings and carols while we work! As we start working on our December edition in October it was as much as I could do to hold them off until November. I’m sure this will all be good motivation when we start working on our January editions this month!

As this is the last edition for 2018 I’d like to say some thank yous. Firstly to our many advertisers for supporting the magazine this year; from tradesmen to vets, shops to hotels and arts centres. Without you all we could not provide such a comprehensive service to our local area. Secondly, thank you to our posties.

Getting our weighty tome out all over the area is no easy matter so a huge thank you for helping us spread the word to every home and business. Thirdly, to you, the people who read and use the magazine, thank you for ‘supporting local’. We’re a small independent publisher, not a large publishing conglomerate pretending to be home-grown and we’re passionate about supporting our local area bringing local businesses, community and events together in one place for the benefit of everyone. Finally I’d like to thank my brilliant team who have worked so hard in 2018 to make the magazine so successful. Here’s to exciting times in 2019. Onwards

HUGE were originally formed in 1990 with one goal - to be the ultimate party band. Credibility and musical integrity became things that happened to other people. They wanted to give audiences EXACTLY what they wanted. Playing all the best tunes from Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Michael Buble, ABBA, Queen, Tom Jones, the Commitments, Barry White, Mowtown and many more. HUGE appeal to an age range from young children to funky grannies! Featuring a giant frontman Big Ian Donaghy, a cross between Robbie Williams and Robbie Coltrane, HUGE make the crowd part of the show with dance routines, singalongs and audience participation.

Helmsley at Christmas

F

estive activities in Helmsley this year are promising to be the biggest and best yet.

As always, the town, led by the Helmsley in Business group, will be supporting Small Business Saturday, which falls on 1st December, with a day of family-friendly activities to thank local residents for their support, and welcome new visitors to the town.

One of the key activities for 2018 will be a giant Nutcracker Trail taking place across the town. Ten six and a half feet tall wooden nutcrackers will be hidden throughout Helmsley, all waiting to be found for the chance to win a prize. Other fun things taking place include a giant inflatable snow globe – ideal for getting inside and taking a selfie; Santa’s Grotto; buskers and entertainers; food and drink tastings; Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Fire Brigade and Mountain Rescue; wreath making with Helmsley Walled Garden; and stalls from local organisations.

To add to the festivities the Helmsley Arts Centre will be launching its 2018 pantomime – Red Riding Hood – to coincide with Small Business Saturday, with a matinee and evening performance

available.

Helmsley will also be running its popular Christmas Tree Festival for the sixth year.

Individually decorated trees along the theme of ‘The best of Helmsley’ will be displayed in All Saints Church from 1st December to 16th December. Different organisations and businesses throughout the town will compete for their tree to be crowned the best decorated tree of 2018 by public vote.

To further continue the festivities, although the giant Nutcrackers can only visit Helmsley for the day, a Nutcracker Window Trail will take place until Christmas Eve. Can you follow the trail around town and find them all?

For more information about the festive events taking place in Helmsley, go to www.visithelmsley. co.uk or follow the town on social media.

fter the success of last year’s The Book of Dragons, York Theatre Royal brings to the Studio a Christmas show specially created for children aged 3+ and their families in The Elves and the Shoemakers (11 Dec – 05 Jan).

The popular tale tells the story of two poor shoemakers who were so poor they couldn’t even afford to buy each other Christmas presents. With no wood for the fire and only one piece of leather left to make shoes, there was little festive spirit in the shoemakers’ shop. But one night, just as the snow begins to fall outside and the clock strikes midnight, two mischievous elves appear at the window…

And to find out what happens you’ll just have to go and see the show. Directed again by the theatre’s Associate Director Juliet Forster, The Elves and the Shoemakers will bring the classic Christmas story to life with live music, puppetry and lots of theatre magic for a guaranteed festive treat for young children.

Over in the Main House families with children 6+ won’t want to miss York’s world-famous pantomime as Berwick Kaler returns to celebrate 40 years as York’s Dame in The Grand Old Dame of York (13 Dec – 02 Feb). Berwick will again be joined by Martin Barrass, Suzy Cooper, David Leonard and AJ Powell for another spectacular and entertaining show. You can expect a gag-laden, song packed extravaganza featuring stunning costumes, jaw-dropping sets and choreography to thrill. You won’t want to miss this one!

Tickets are available from Box Office in person, over the phone on 01904 623568 and online at yorktheatreroyal.co.uk.

FESTIVE ‘ELF’ & SAFETY

W

with C2 Safety

ith Christmas nearly here we are dusting off the decorations and festooning homes and workplaces with the fairy lights and tinsel.

After untangling miles of wires we plan the task of fixing them along rooflines, chimneys, window displays and trees; this usually involves a ladder (or step ladder) and taking some simple actions can reduce the chance of you, or an employee, spending Christmas in a plaster cast (even more likely if you use chairs, boxes or other objects not designed for the job). It is a myth that health and safety bans the use of ladders in the workplace!

10 TOP TIPS FOR BASIC LADDER SAFETY: • Check the feet, legs and rungs are not damaged or bent before you begin and any rubber grips are in place • Ensure the locking mechanism locks out fully on step ladders • Place all ladder feet flat on the floor so the ladder is upright and stable and doesn’t wobble • Make sure the step ladder high enough so you do not have to stand on the top platform and the hand rail will be no lower than your waist height from where you are working • Ladders should be at a minimum angle of 70 degrees from the wall (an easy way to check is stand upright at the foot of the ladder and if it is at arms length away from you at shoulder height then it is approx. 70 degrees) • Use a ladder long enough for the job - you should never be working from the top few rungs • Have a second person to hold or “foot” the ladder whilst you are on it • Do not over-reach upwards or sideways from the ladder

52 | Handy Mag | December 2018

• Maintain 3 points of contact with the ladder whenever possible • Where fall arrest systems are fitted to a commercial premises, or you are using a cherry picker, then a harness should be worn Every year there are many fires caused by Christmas lights and we should always check our lights at home to ensure they are serviceable; if they are buzzing, humming or flickering then they may not be working correctly and should be replaced. If you are a business and putting lights up in the workplace then they must comply with the Provision and use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and should be regularly PAT tested as you would your other electrical equipment at work.

Here’s wishing everyone a safely illuminated Christmas from C2 Safety.

WE ALL HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL NEED TO BE HEARD e have all tried to talk to friends about something that has got our goat and they have immediately launched into a story about when the same happened to them (and that is part of our normal human interaction).

We have talked about a problem and have been told exactly what we should do (we feel annoyed by now). We have tried to say we are upset or anxious and have been told ‘oh, you’ll be fine’ (so we have learned not to talk about feelings). In the end we feel that we haven’t been heard.

We may feel dissatisfied or ‘out of sorts’, anxious or depressed. We might behave ‘out of character’ or be trying to deal with a significant event or a relationship that has an on-going impact on our daily life. These are the times when we need someone to really listen and to hear how we are feeling so that we can hear ourselves and work out what we need.

My role as a counsellor is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you to listen to yourself. To help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so Finding Our Place that you can find out what in the World matters to you. To listen to ourselves can be surprisingly difficult. We might not like what we hear, or the implications might be quite scary. More often, feeling that we have been really heard can help us to rearrange our mental furniture and see things in a new way.

The most important thing is to find a counsellor who can help you to feel that you have been heard so that you can hear yourself.

here’s nothing like driving a brand new car with its rich colour, shine and that new car smell. With regular use, weather, dirt and road salt, the paintwork can become dull and getting your car ‘showroom clean’ requires more than just a bucket and sponge.

Car detailing is the process of thoroughly decontaminating, cleaning, correcting, restoring and protecting all parts of a vehicle inside and out. It could even add considerable value to older neglected cars.

Craig Searstone of Rhodium Detailing, based in Malton, has a passion for looking after cars and has gained exceptional skills and knowledge whilst working with a highly reputable and world class car detailer. This, in itself, has opened more doors in the Auto Industry and allowed him to work alongside other professionals and further his skill base.

“I love detailing,” explains Craig, “There is no grey area. The car has to be up to my standard or it isn’t leaving the workshop. Call it OCD or just attention to detail, for me, it’s a dream job. I come from a corporate hospitality background and spending my days making sure clients received 100% on their special day also works really well in this business too. The only difference is the client is the car now and much quieter!”

Craig has a fit-for-purpose custom workshop in Malton. He is the official stockist & applicator in North Yorkshire for “Ceramic Pro”, the global leader, in Nano ceramic technology. He offers a wide range of ceramic packages and can even multi-layer on certain products giving your pride and joy the ultimate protection. Other Rhodium services are paint correction, Specialist valeting, Caliper painting & Window tinting.

If you want to give your vehicle the valet or detailing pampering session that it deserves, especially if you intend to sell, call Craig on 07920 554274. thehandymag.co.uk | 65

CHARLIE’S COLUMN n Saturday 6th October I was lucky enough not only to attend, but also be a finalist at the 9th annual Pride of Malton and Norton awards.

I was honoured to be invited as I haven’t hit 20 yet and it felt overwhelming arriving at such a prestigious local event. I was shortlisted for “Bright Young Star” and “Local Hero”, both titles I didn’t feel worthy of. My nomination was for my charity work, in particular with Ryedale Special families. In aid of them I completed a gameathon (24-hour gaming marathon) where I raised £1200, way more than my target of £500. I was amazed by the generosity of the local community and extremely tired after. I don’t think I would have been able to get through the 4am mark without the support of my family and friends (Thanks mum!).

The awards were at York House right next to the Talbot Hotel. As I entered, I met Mandy West, one of the reasons the awards got up and running.

Once in the marquee, I was hit by a wall of warmth both in temperature and atmosphere. The evening felt special and many were in awe attending what was a unique event. It was humbling to see so many people that provide so much for the community in different ways. The extracts about each nominee showed the diversity that exists in the towns. There were businesses, teachers, hardworking charities and more being awarded for their incredible work. It was a lovely night for everyone involved.

Going up to the stage was exciting, mixed with a little twinge of nervousness. All the nominees I met were lovely which certainly got rid of the nerves. I was given a finalist certificate, had photos taken and had an enjoyable night. More than I could ask for.

The awards were, in conclusion, a fantastic local event. It was a great way to open up people’s eyes to the fantastic work of local people and organisations.

Without events such as these this type of work may go under the radar. Seeing what people do for the local community can also encourage other people to work towards making Malton and Norton a better place, and to realise that their work does not go unappreciated. It was an event that me, my family and my friends will not forget anytime soon.

The new Wesley Centre will host many local groups, hopefully including the Male Voice Choir, and hopes to become an established destination in Ryedale for the arts and good quality music.

SO IT’S DECEMBER… HOW HAS THAT HAPPENED?

By Kathryn Craven

our ‘Look a Twit in a Festive Knit’ fundraiser. If you and your colleagues/friend’s fancy looking a ‘Twit in a festive kit’ please do get in touch.

Christmas is a special time here at the Hospice and during December we have choirs and musicians coming along to entertain our patients and their loved ones, including mince pies and mulled wine for everyone! I for one am very much looking forward to this.

I would like to sign off by wishing you all a very Happy Christmas… see you in 2019!

T

his year for me has absolutely flown by...

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the people in Ryedale I have met thus far, for their support and generosity which has enabled me to raise awareness of the great work we do here at the Hospice and also out in our area with our Hospice@Home Team.

With this in mind I have some Ryedale news to tell you about.

Our St Leonard’s Hospice Christmas Cards are now available to purchase in Ryedale! You can pick up a pack at Pickering Pharmacy, 22 Market Square or at Helmsley Arts Centre.

I will be holding another ‘Community Coffee Break’ in December with Liam Bamforth, the Community Banker from NatWest, in Pickering Library on Monday 10th December. Look out on our social media and locally for more information.

I have also been busy making up some Ryedale hampers, and once again have had some fantastic support from local businesses such as – Mannion’s, Helmsley Walled Garden, Hunters of Helmsley, The Feathers Hotel, Ampleforth Plus, Helmsley Brewery and Birdgate Chocolatiers. The hampers will be placed around the area so please look out for them and pick a lucky square for a chance to win!!

A first for us this year will be our St Leonard’s Hospice Christmas Tree at the Helmsley Christmas Tree Festival. We are thrilled to be part of such a great community event and I hope you all enjoy our tree. All our decorations have been sourced from our charity shops so it really has been a team effort!

Throughout December we will also be holding

Warmest Wishes Kathryn

If you’d like any further information, are interested in volunteering or would like to know more about the Hospice I would love to hear from you.

CHRISTMAS DANGERS FOR PETS

by Dr Sarah Hunter (BVet Med MRCVS) Station House Vets

AN INDEPENDENT PRACTICE ESTABLISHED 1984

Equine & Small Animal

As Christmas approaches, we start to fill our homes with decorations, food and plants, some of which can be harmful to our furry friends. Read on to find out which ones to avoid.

POINSETTIA

Although it is toxic, very few animals will develop signs of intoxication after eating the plant. However if they eat enough of it, signs will include irritation to the mouth, drooling and vomiting.

Expect the best care everytime

01653 618303 24 hour emergency

Just off the A64 in Welburn near Castle Howard

w w w.stationhousevets.com

SALT DOUGH DECORATIONS

Often homemade salt dough is used to make decorations, although the recipes vary, they usually contain around 8g of salt per tablespoon of dough.

If your pet has too much salt in their body, they could develop vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, increased thirst and dehydration. In severe cases, it can cause seizures.

CHOCOLATE

Stuff the turkey Wash the dog!

Have your dog washed, groomed and clipped in style wherever you are.

There is usually a lot of chocolate around at Christmas, especially when we start with advent calendars! Chocolate can be very toxic to dogs so it is important to keep it out of their reach. Dark chocolate is the most dangerous as it contains a higher quantity of the chemical compound theobromine. Signs of poisoning include vomiting, tummy pain, wobbling and diarrhoea.

DRIED FRUIT

Grapes and dried grapes (currants, sultanas and raisins) are toxic to dogs. Even a small quantity can cause severe kidney failure. Don’t forget this will include food items that contain dried fruits such as mince pies.

With all toxins, it is important to let us know straight away if you think your pet has eaten something that they shouldn’t have, especially if they are showing any abnormal signs.

“We make the mess in our van so its not in your house!”

SEED

S

Here at Battle Flatts we have a long standing tradition of supporting local animal welfare charities and at this time of year like to give the local charities a boost by collecting donations of tinned and dried pet foods, treats, toys, bedding. Each of our branches are collection points and anyone wishing to donate can bring their gifts and leave them under the Christmas tree.

It’s surprising how many animals local charities look after and rehome each year, and Christmas-time being a busy time for theses charities, it’s amazing that every year with the gifts we get donated we are able to pass these on and give less fortunate pets a happier Christmas.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has donated to our collection in the past and hope that this year we can continue to support help and support animals in need.

Donations can be left under the Christmas tree at any of our branches: 43 St Nicholas Street Norton, Buttercrambe Road Stamford Bridge, 38 The Village Strensall or 88 Klinwick Road Pocklington

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.

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
