Hornsea has received a prestigious international Blue Flag Award for its beach KEEP Britain Tidy have announced the winners of the prestigious Blue Flag and Seaside Awards for 2021 with Hornsea obtaining a Blue Flag. This year, England boasts 76 Blue Flag beaches, more than Brazil, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Israel, Malta, Mexico or South Africa. The good news is that every single one of them is on the ‘green list’ for this summer, proving that you don’t need to jet off to Europe or even further afield to visit some of the best beaches in the world – they’re right here on our doorstep! Hornsea is the only beach in East Yorkshire to receive the prestigious award which it last obtained in 2017. Whitby and Scarborough received a Blue Flag award making Hornsea one of only three beaches in Yorkshire to receive it. Hornsea Mayor Councillor Tim Bunch commented: “What a fantastic achievement for Hornsea to regain our Blue flag status for 2021. This is again down to local council and volunteer groups such as Plastic free Hornsea and Hornsea Urban Gardeners working hard together to keep our seafront the best it can be. After an extremely difficult year for everyone we can be proud of what we have to offer visitors as they return to our beautiful seaside town and of

course any association with the Blue Flag organisation and the great work they do has to be good for the town.” Seaside Award flags were also awarded to 132 beaches including Bridlington North, Bridlington South, Wilsthorpe, South Landing and Withernsea beaches in East Yorkshire. For the first time in England, there is also a Blue Flag marina – Royal Albert and Salthouse Dock marina in Liverpool. The international Blue Flag and the UK Seaside Awards are the quality marks for our beaches and mean those visiting them can be sure that they are clean, safe and meet the highest environmental standards, as well as the tough international bathing water quality standards. Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE said: “This year, more than ever, we are going to be relying on our country’s beautiful beaches to escape for a much-needed break after all the stresses and strains of the past year. “Whether it’s camping in Cornwall, renting a cottage in North Yorkshire or simply having a day out at the seaside in Sussex, a fantastic beach is an essential part of a holiday for so many of us.

“Last year, due to the pandemic, we did not have the opportunity to celebrate all the great award-winning beaches around the coast so this year we are delighted to have even more winners than we did in 2019, thanks to the incredible work of the teams around the country that make our beaches clean and safe for us all to enjoy. “From environmental education for the local community and ensuring responsible beach use, to cleaning regimes and an increasing number of recycling facilities, it is a full-time commitment to create beaches worthy of these awards. “As we all plan our 2021 holidays much closer to home, thanks to the Blue Flag and Seaside Award those choosing to holiday at a destination with an award-winning beach can be assured it will be clean and safe and meet the highest standards for water quality and management.” Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for economic growth and tourism at East Riding Council said: "I am absolutely delighted that Hornsea has been awarded a Blue Flag, as we look forward to welcoming tourists back to the East Riding this summer, for what we expect to be a very busy, and

successful season. "The Seaside Awards for our other major beaches also represent a vote of confidence in the water quality at all these other locations, and in the facilities provided. Things are looking good for the 2021 season! "At the moment, we are of course still encouraging our visitors and residents to follow social distancing, and to remain careful and vigilant as we continue to emerge from the pandemic."

Residents and businesses impacted after internet services went down for more than 30 hours

The Odyssey: A Geolocation Adventure on the Yorkshire Coast’ launched

MANY residents and businesses were left without internet and phone services for over a day after a utility company damaged a cable in Pocklington supplying broadband to large parts of East Yorkshire. The connection issues started on the afternoon of Friday, May 14 and were restored on the evening of Saturday, May 15. The cable that was damaged impacted customers with suppliers including Sky, TalkTalk and Utility Warehouse. East Coast Tackle in Hornsea was one of the businesses who had their Saturday trading impacted, they updated their social media on the Saturday morning to say: “Due to issues with sky, today is cash only. No card payments can be taken.” Hornsea resident Nerys Johnson wrote a report for the Hornsea Town Council open town meeting on the outage on behalf of the Hornsea Independent Participation Group (HIP). The report called for: “The need for a Review and Enhanced Coordination of the ERYC Emergency Plan with the community including businesses, residents, Town and Parish Councils and with particular regard for vulnerable adults and

The Odyssey is an ancient story of love, war and adventure featuring regional performers to engage audiences in Yorkshire’s coastal locations. During the last lockdown, storytellers, performers and composers from the Yorkshire Coast have been involved in an ambitious new project to reinvent one of the greatest stories ever told. The first episode of their tale has now been released as a series of geolocation trails for visitors and communities along the coast. ‘The Odyssey - An Epic Adventure on the Yorkshire Coast’ is the creation of Scarborough based theatre company, Animated Objects. This three-year project is reinventing Homer’s classic works The Iliad and The Odyssey; setting them in the near future; with the coast providing the dramatic landscape for a wide range of activities. Future events include touring exhibitions; giant puppets; and a world record attempt with the creation of Yorkshire’s own version of the Trojan horse. The first episode: ‘The Gathering Storm’ tells the story of how the Trojan wars began. Listeners are invited to enter into this world of ancient Gods and epic battles on their smartphones or digital devices; with the story being triggered by GPS when entering a storytelling area. It is available in over

children when a major utility service is ‘down’ ”. The report noted the problem for those on telecommunication packages which include landline, mobile, TV and broadband will be completely cut off if the provider internet goes down in cases where the phone works over the internet as was the case for many of the customers impacted. In the report Nerys expressed concern for those with the lifeline phone alert system: “I was made aware that one elderly (80’s) local resident with Alzheimer’s was not issued with a replacement Emergency Lifeline unit via the family who lived two hours away contacting the immediate neighbour who then contacted me for advice. I advised that the family contacted East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) Social Services and arranged for a mobile phone by another provider. ERYC provided a replacement Emergency Lifeline Unit and the family a suitable mobile phone designed for the elderly and/or those with specific needs.” We contacted ERYC to check on the situation regarding Lifeline systems in the outage but hadn’t received a reply before going to print. Hornsea Town Council agreed at

the open meeting to send the report and recommendations from HIP on to East Riding Council. The repair work to the cable was carried out by the owners of the infrastructure, Openreach, who said the damage was first reported to them at around 3.30pm on the Friday. A spokesperson for Openreach added: “19 of our engineers worked throughout Friday and Saturday to restore phone and broadband services to thousands of customers in the East Yorkshire area, after a number of our cables were badly damaged by a utility company working in the local area. “This was one of the most difficult repair jobs we’ve experienced locally in recent years, and it took a huge effort from everyone involved to get the work carried out so quickly. Repairing damaged broadband infrastructure is challenging, timeconsuming and requires a great deal of manual labour. “Multiple cables and ducting, covering around 1000 metres in total, had to be cleared and then replaced, such was the extent of the damage. “Services were eventually restored just before 11.30pm on Saturday.”

lockdown in a number of different locations while observing social distancing rules. This proved a challenge in itself, as individual performers in many cases have never met. Following many hours in production, these individual talents have been brought together to realise this ancient narrative. ‘The Gathering Storm’ will be followed in the autumn by episode two: ‘The Trojan Wars’. The story is available free on the Echoes Interactive Sound Walks app from the App Store or Google Play. Look for walks in your area if on the Yorkshire Coast, or search for ‘The Odyssey’ by Animated Objects. The story of ‘The Odyssey - an Epic Adventure on the Yorkshire Coast’ will be the framework for a number of live events, exhibitions and workshops. The project is funded by the Yorkshire Coast BID; creating opportunities for people to discover, explore and enjoy the coast throughout the year.

25 different locations along the coast as a free roaming story to be enjoyed at a relaxed pace, and with a number of ‘discovery trails’ in larger towns where chapters lead visitors from one location to another to introduce them to areas they may not have explored before. Lee Threadgold, artistic director of Animated Objects said: “We’re really excited to be bringing the first part of the story to people along the coast by geolocation. We’ve written and produced the audio story specifically to be enjoyed in the open air, and we’ve chosen locations that showcase the natural beauty of this incredible region. People often ask us ‘why the Odyssey?’, and our reply is simple: the story of the Trojan wars and Odysseus’ journey home is an ambitious undertaking. It has plenty of dramatic opportunities for communities spread across over 100 miles of coastline and surrounding countryside to get involved in telling this epic tale. Some elements may be familiar to many; such as the Trojan horse and Achilles’ heel, but there will be plenty of surprises too. It celebrates the ever changing nature of the sea; while celebrating the communities that live here. And where better to listen to a drama than when looking at the sea?” The story was recorded during

He will be visiting us weekly, and over time, he will meet all 550 children!

AT HORNSEA Town Council’s Mayor Making and annual meeting on Monday, May 10 Councillor Tim Bunch formally took over as the council Chairman and Mayor. Councillor Stephen Prescott also became the Deputy Mayor and vice chairman for the forthcoming year.

Also with the civic chains having been reported stolen in a recent burglary no chains were able to be presented to the new Mayor or his wife and Mayoress Joanne. Thank you gifts were presented by Councillor Bunch to outgoing Mayor Councillor Andrew Eastwood and his consort and son Nathan. Mayor Cllr Bunch said: “On behalf of residents and councillors I would like to thank

Brandesburton pupils helping How we feel save the bees with the support and the effects of of Quick and Clarke Hornsea 1

Covid on our lives and businesses

By Emma Jane Saunt from Trains Hair and Beauty 2

OPEN TUESDAY - SATURDAY 10am - 3pm

PUPILS in class 4 at Brandesburton Primary School have as part of their careers curriculum decided to support saving bees. Mr Mallison from the school explained: “each class at Brandesburton Primary school were issued with £10 to spend on a school improvement project. Class 4 decided that they wanted a lasting project that would benefit; the school, the local community and the environment. Therefore, the children felt a good idea would be to plant summer bulbs and bee friendly plants to attract more bees to help them and to aid pollination.” Quick and Clarke in Hornsea are supporting the children’s efforts in conjunction with World Bee Day on May 20. They made a donation to the school to plant bulbs at the school grounds and also offered packets of seeds outside the office in the lead up to World Bee Day for local residents to take and plant at home. Hornsea artist Charlotte Eldred also created a window display at the Hornsea Quick and Clarke offices to promote the World Bee Day initiative. Catherine Harding, Associate Director at Quick and Clarke Hornsea said: “We enjoy supporting our local community and loved the ‘World Bee Day’ idea from the children of Class 4 at Brandesburton Primary School. Along with helping them by donating funds to their project we offered seeds for sowing outside our Hornsea Branch for free and Charlotte Eldred did a wonderful ‘Bee’ themed window for us. We enjoy such a fantastic location in Market Place it seemed like a great opportunity to raise awareness of ‘World Bee Day’ and support the children’s project which has created a real ‘buzz’ at the school and our community.” 1-3 PLANTING: Pupils at Brandesburton Primary School planting bulbs and bee friendly plants at the school

THERE are very few experiences in the world that everyone shares. Although our individual experiences in these situations are unique we, as both individuals and as a community, share a powerful commonality centered around this key event. They can reshape the way we look at the world and our place in it. Also creating uncertainty and anxiety around what the future will look like. For those fortunate enough to have not lost their jobs, or worse, they undoubtedly had to make significant changes to the way they work to stay productive and competitive. Now this ‘new’ way of working has even, dare I say, become comfortable. As COVID vaccines become increasingly available, the work world is beginning to think about the future. Most of that thinking revolves around questions rather than definitive answers at this point. Employees and employers alike are grappling with the need to create clear expectations about what work will look like as we begin to put the pandemic behind us. One of the key obstacles being no one really knows the answers right now. If you are feeling uneasy or anxious about what the future holds, know that you’re not alone. Here are a few things to consider to help you navigate this tumultuous time: ● Be graceful with yourself and others - Give yourself space to be patient and understanding with yourself and others as we all work to find our way to “the new”. ● Be prepared - Get ahead of things as much as possible. You can find some comfort in being in control of what you can influence. ● Talk to your coworkers and employer - Let people know what you need so they can help. If you are finding that the anxiety associated with these changes is becoming

too much to manage you need to be honest with yourself and acknowledge that it may be time to reach out to someone who can assist. If you are a people leader there are some additional considerations that you are likely mulling over to help your team make a successful transition to what’s next. People’s behavior may change or may seem “off” while they process changes and new realities. Be patient with yourself and your team. Many employees have had to help children with online lessons or assist elderly parents who usually do not need hands-on assistance. Employers should be flexible in when and how work gets done even when back in the office. Companies might consider reducing work weeks which may help employees find balance. Find ways to create a safe space for people to process their emotions and feelings with each other. Be honest with your team about what is known and what isn’t. Ask them for their input and questions. The dialogue will help everyone process the situation and feel a sense of control in a sea of uncertainty. Don’t ignore warning signs of distress. Some of your team (or you) may be having significant challenges navigating the return to work and they may be sending subtle signals that they are in distress. Your role as leader will require that you keep your antennae tuned in to yourself and your team. Keeping a sharp eye out during your interactions with others for signals (verbal and non-verbal) that they may be experiencing levels of anxiety or difficulty that may be unhealthy can be extremely beneficial. Above all take care of yourself, communication helps to create a healthy mind, be happy.

In the early hours of the morning three burglary reports were received. Firstly a window was smashed, sounding the alarm at a fish and chip shop on New Road in Hornsea. No entry was gained but damage was caused to the premises. A fish and chip shop on Marine Drive is reported to also have been broken into. Although nothing appears to have been stolen the property was damaged during the burglary. A public house on Newbegin was reported to have been broken into and, along with damage to the property, cash was stolen. Officers were deployed quickly to the area and their investigations have been ongoing. CCTV images from one of the burglaries shows a man with short dark hair wearing a grey hoodie, with a reflective stripe on the chest and shoulder, and grey

jogging bottoms. Humberside Police are also investigating two reported thefts from cars on Eastgate, and a car was also tampered with in St Nicholas Drive, all reported to have happened on May 3. Sergeant Georgina Kirkwood from the local neighbourhood community team said: “I want to reassure the community of Hornsea that we are doing all we can to find those responsible. “I also would like to take the opportunity to remind residents to make sure their homes and cars are locked and secure at all times. “I especially want people to report anything suspicious in the town, if you see a person or vehicle acting suspiciously please call us straight away. We want to catch those who have committed these offences and bring them to justice.” If anyone has any information that would help with investigations please call Humberside Police’s non-emergency number 101 quoting Log 103 of 3 May 2021.

Hornsea Rotary Club update By Keith Twigg THE CLUB has continued to meet via Zoom but it is hoped that face to face meetings can start soon, subject to no changes in the Government road map. All charities and community groups have struggled to raise funds because of the Covid Pandemic and Hornsea Rotary Club has been no exception Our club has had to cancel the Hornsea Third Marathon in both 2020 and 2021 but thanks to many of the registered runners and three of our sponsors we were able to donate a magnificent sum of £3500 to the Marie Curie Charity which has always been the major recipient of funds raised by the Hornsea Third. Working with the Marie Curie Charity our club has embraced a new fundraising initiative which involves Dexter and Mason who manufacture and sell luxury candles. The owner of the company is a supporter of Marie Curie and has produced a luxury Narcissus candle and reed diffuser. For every Narcissus candle sold £9 goes to support Marie Curie and for every Reed Diffuser £12 goes to Marie Curie.

Centenary of the Royal British Legion Keith Twigg for the Hornsea Branch of the Royal British Legion 1

At 9am on Sunday May 15, 1921, a wet and dreary day, a small number of exServicemen walked to the Cenotaph war memorial in London’s Whitehall. As Big Ben struck nine, four men representing societies that for three years had been rivals laid a wreath at the base of the memorial. On that wreath were the badges of the four organisations that would officially amalgamate to form the British Legion. This moment was the starting gun for the Royal British Legion we know today. By Christmas of 1921 the ranks of our organisation had swelled to include 2,500 branches across the country, as well as overseas. These were the groups around which the armed forces community rallied after the First World War. They made change happen, fund raised during the Poppy Appeal, provided welfare locally and

became the foundations for what has become the UK’s largest Armed Forces charity. Exactly one hundred years later the Hornsea and District Branch of the Legion celebrated the Centenary when Chairman Rachel Dobson laid a wreath in the town’s Memorial Gardens. She was joined by the new Mayor Tim Bunch, Deputy Mayor Stephen Prescott and members of the Branch. A short service followed led by the Reverend Tina Minett Stevens. The branch did intend to unveil the Commemoration benches in the Memorial Gardens, Hornsea later in May but there has been a delay in their manufacture owing to problems in receiving the materials required. The promised date for arrival in Hornsea will now be the first two weeks in June and then they will need to be sited. It has now been decided that the

official unveiling will be as soon after June 21 as possible which will hopefully allow anyone who wishes to attend to do so. No bubbles, no restrictions to 30 people and the hope that afterwards we can all enjoy a bite to eat and a drink together. 1. CENTENARY: Marking 100 years of the Royal British Legion, Chairman Rachel Dobson, Standard Bearer Mel Watson, Deputy Mayor Stephen Prescott, Standard Bearer Ruby Seager, Branch Padre Reverend Tina Minett Stevens 2. BENCHES: The benches have been delayed and an unveiling is planned for as soon after June 21 (in line with latest guidelines) as possible to be confirmed.

Hornsea Urban Gardeners (HUG) update

Active Coast returns with half term outdoor fun

HUG are appealing for new volunteers. You can give as much or as little time as you have. Simply taking ownership of the planting / weeding / underplanting of a local street sign to helping on the HUG allotment or on certain areas HUG maintains. One of the areas that needs a new volunteer is the Hornsea Community Primary School courtyard reading garden. The HUG team has completed a renovation of the garden. Any parents or grandparents of children at the school please consider helping to keep the garden looking fabulous for the children to enjoy. Just two hours once a month will keep this garden in shape. Volunteer Sharon Jackson has tidied the entrance to the viaduct on Burton Lane and planted in the long border. HUG volunteers Michaela Ward and Belle Kinsey have planted new seedlings and tidied the borders on Scalby Place off Hornsea Market Place roundabout. HUG chairman and Hornsea Town Councillor June Greensmith worked on weeding and tidying the Willows Drive planted borders after some rain made the ground softer and easier to work with. June also tidied up her adopted street sign on the corner of King Street. Volunteers also carried out their monthly tidy up at the Hornsea Inshore Rescue garden and made a note of where they need to add a few plants. Pumpkin plants have been planted out at the HUG allotment. The pumpkins in the past have been used for the churches

Hornsea WI update HORNSEA WI have been doing a meeting in a bag since last May in place of our real-life meetings. The bags have been put together and delivered by the Hornsea WI committee to stay connected with members. Contents of the bags have included an activity each month plus a homemade piece of cake, newsletter and tea bag. We have also been having a monthly Zoom meeting with a speaker or activity for those that use Zoom. Our May meeting saw Dr Jane Clappison talking about the Alexander Technique – creating awareness of your body in the present moment. Our next meeting is on Monday, June 14 at 7pm and is hopefully our last Zoom meeting before we come back together as a group in real life. The June meeting will see Katherine Blackler from Sort My Space talking all things decluttering! Anyone is welcome to come along and see what the WI is like. We have a really broad range of

members across all age groups. We meet on the second Monday of the month at 7.30pm. We are also excited to be hosting our first town yard / garage sale on Saturday June 5 as per the poster. Get in touch to have a stall at your home and we look forward to seeing bargain hunters on the day on Willows Drive corner to pick up your free maps – we will have a tombola too! All profits from the event (from stall fees and the tombola, as residents keep their own stall takings) are being split between Hornsea WI and Hornsea Inshore Rescue. For more information contact us via the Hornsea WI Facebook page or by emailing hornseawi@eastyorkshirewi.org.uk DECLUTTERING: Katherine Blackler from Sort My Space will be talking all things decluttering at our June meeting

at the same time every Friday up until the October half term. Please note opening times may vary throughout the summer. Whilst it’s great fun exploring the coast, Active Coast is encouraging local residents to do their bit to protect our coastal environments and ecosystems.

Hornsea school discusses bid for repair funding with local MP HORNSEA School and 1 Language College recently invited local MP, Graham Stuart, to the school to highlight their need for funding for repairs and renovations. All schools receive a share of an annual allocation for maintenance work, but extensive issues at Hornsea School have prompted the school’s Headteacher, Mr Steve Ostler, to appeal to the school’s Member of Parliament. This year’s national school maintenance budget stands at £1.8 billion, which is a 20% increase from the last financial year, while there was also a one-off injection of £560 million last year. A further wave of the Government’s ‘School Rebuilding Programme’ has also been announced, and it is this that the school is hoping to take advantage of after being unsuccessful in the first wave of funding last year. Many pupils are currently learning in temporary classrooms due to water damage in the main

buildings. Also the cafeteria can only accommodate a fraction of students at the school. The extent of the damage has prompted teaching staff to reach out to parents for their construction knowhow. This has helped the daily breakfast club with new facilities. Beverley and Holderness MP, Graham Stuart, said: “I was really pleased to use one of my first physical visits in months to see

HSLC’s facilities for myself and I can relay this back. I met with Mr Ostler virtually a few times earlier this year too. He’s passionate about giving his pupils a quality education and understandably wants the best possible facilities to match this. “I’ve been putting their case to Schools Ministers Nick Gibb and Baroness Berridge, and I will be continuing to lobby them on HSLC’s behalf, particularly as the

Government is planning to consult on how schools are prioritised for the rebuilding programme.” The Government has said that further details about the School Rebuilding Programme will be set out later in 2021. Projects will range from refurbishing individual buildings through to undertaking whole school rebuilds. The planned consultation will include examining how evidence about schools’ need for funding may be

New courses and HORNSEA services coming to FIRST AID Welcome Centre Hornsea CENTRE TO REOPEN IN JUNE By Rosie Bullard OWING to the relaxing of Covid restrictions, we can now meet, socialise and exercise in the real world, with real human contact so we have decided to discontinue the highly successful Zoom sessions which have kept many people sane during the lockdown. After much hard work, we now have approval from the Financial Conduct Authority to operate a Debt Advice Service. Our volunteer advisors will soon be undertaking training for this, with the aim of the service becoming operational in September. We are now able to re-start the free CPR and Defibrillator

courses which were proving popular pre-Covid. Anyone interested in learning or refreshing these lifesaving skills in a one hour session can contact Alan on 07412 422215 or alantharratt@hotmail.co.uk. We will also soon be offering regulated Emergency First Aid at Work courses, which involve six hours of teaching time. If you are interested, contact Alan as above for course details. The Food Bank continues to be in demand, anyone needing emergency food supplies should ring the Food Bank number: 07511 926967 and talk to Carol.

WE HAVE almost completed all our cleaning, disinfecting and minimalising, but we are still waiting for the new flooring. We originally planned to open the last weekend in May but due to possible restrictions with the new Indian variant of the virus we feel it would be sensible to wait a little longer to ensure everyone’s safety, so we shall be re-opening in June. As ever we are still looking for more volunteers, tub collectors and distributers, meet and greeters or first aiders – all training given with a smile. For enquiries please email: hornseafirstaidcentre123@gmail.com or phone 07565 752762. The First Aid Centre (Charity No. 1178210) is located in Hornsea Tesco Car Park, Southgate, HU18 1RE.

Exciting music news at St. Nicholas MUSIC at St. Nicholas is expanding! The last year has been a dampening time for many areas of music. Whilst we haven’t been able to perform or sing in the same ways, it has allowed time to develop the foundations for the musical life of the church and its role in the community. At the heart of the traditional choral singing is the chorister-who we are now on the hunt for! Becoming a chorister is an opportunity to receive a wonderful musical education and get to explore faith and spirituality in an environment that is supportive and encouraging, whilst making new friends. Regular singing contributes to so many other aspects of our lives too and has been known to contribute positively in both academic and other creative areas too. From June 23, there will be choral opportunities for a junior choir for both girls and boys aged eight upwards, senior choir for those of high school age and the adult church choir. Rehearsals are an hour long each week and choristers will then contribute on a rota basis to Sunday morning services, and Sunday evening services as they develop. During this time we will cover a broad repertoire of music, and have huge fun in rehearsals. Our singing follows the safer singing guidelines outlined by both the government and the church, to ensure a Covid secure environment. Choirs also have opportunities to sing at weddings, funerals and civic services during the year. There is no charge to choristers for attending any of these sessions during the week, choristers instead receive a small payment for their contribution. Before the regulations restricted singing last year, the choir enjoyed regular worship as well as singing at local festivals. Our affiliation of the church with the Royal Schools of Church Music has enabled participation in regional events and we look forward to those beginning again. In addition, choristers St. Nicholas has a long history of music making, and is incredibly fortunate to still have an important contributor during this time still serving the church. John Boxall began his musical life as a chorister here in 1935, and to this day remains as the official organist. John recounts fondly of his early church life. With three sung services a day and two rehearsals a week, there was an active role to be played and it was here that John developed his keen additional interest in the organ. At 19, John started directing the church choirs and became the official organist in 1950. With a children’s choir of around 30, and a full adult choir, John organised regular large

scaled choral events for local churches and chapels in the area. The musical library is steeped in history of past events, with occasional pencilled notes from previous years, Carol service sheets from the 1950’s and a large repertoire of music. This brings memories flooding back to some of our current members, who have watched their children go through the choir too. John’s continued work and commitment to the choir and music of the church is not only admirable but we are eternally grateful. Nestled at the rear of the church is the 3 manual organ, installed in 1899 by Foster and Andrews, local organ builders from Hull. Originally a tracker action organ, it was converted to an electro-pneumatic system in the 1970’s, during an extensive restoration project which saw the organ moved due to the damp conditions of a nearby wall. The generous acoustics created by the church encourage its fine sound to fill not only the church but the outside of it too! In 2019, the church purchased a new Kawai piano , not only for expanding worship options but with additional plans to use the church for regular recitals, festivals and music exams. In 2018, Leonie Creswell started working with the church choir. Leonie began her musical career in Zimbabwe, where she was actively involved in church music from a young age. Continuing her studies in London, she studied the piano under Alexander Ardakov at Trinity College of Music before returning to Southern Africa to work as a teacher and developing music amongst youth projects. In 2013 she moved to East Yorkshire with her young family and enjoys a varied timetable of teaching, accompanying and choral direction. She looks forward immensely to welcoming new choristers into the church, and encouraging and supporting their musical development. These plans have been encouraged and supported by the vicar, who has a shared love of singing. The Rev. Tina says: "Singing has been part of the worship of the church for many hundreds of years, and we know now it helps with our mental health too. The St Nicholas PCC are delighted to offer these opportunities for children and adults to come and sing together, and learn about music and worship. Personally I am excited that our young people will have the chance to come and sing as I did from an early age, and I hope they find it as enjoyable as I still do." If anyone has any queries, or would like to come and try our rehearsals, please email Leonie on music@hornseabenefice.org

Rob's Ramblings WHAT are the thoughts behind people who walk their dogs on the railway lines? To be perfectly honest there is very little dog fouling to hinder the innocent cyclist or pedestrian for that matter. But, and it’s a really big but, I'm frankly astounded that people arm themselves with the appropriate poop bags undoubtedly with very good intentions. Then once the dogs have done their business proceed to pick it up, but the more observant among us will have noticed little black parcels hung from bushes or even hanging on the sign instructing us to 'clear up after your dog'. I present you with photographic evidence! TAKE IT HOME. I do on occasions find myself working on the Longbeach Leisure site, where I sometimes manage to share a few memories with an old pal of mine Mark Postill. Mark’s dad was manager, as some of you will remember, at the Regal Amusements. Mark, who many people will know better as 'Pozzy', has worked in what could loosely be described as Hornsea's holiday maker business, starting helping his Dad on weekends and school holidays at around the age of 11, (don't tell the health and safety police, trouble would be around the corner). Between us we recalled working on the electrically driven car track and helter skelter, under the watchful eye of Johnny Tether, right opposite David’s amusements. All the Underwood brothers, Bill, Ted and Peter played an active part in creating memories for generations of holiday makers. As did Colin Gray and his man Bill Hobson with his tea and

sandwich stall near to the now demolished 'Ocean Club' or 'Sand Downer Club' or 'Waves' or 'Le Corniche' as others will have known the place over the years. This may sound like ancient history to some. But the wonder is Mark is still only in his early fifties! Thoughts also came back of the 'Two Jacks' arcade and bingo next to the long-gone paddling pool. Oh and Keith Bemrose gift shop built next to the aforementioned David’s amusements whose players marked off their bingo numbers with bottle tops! Well the story continues with Mark staying around the seafront as he then moved over to 'Luigi's' under the watchful eye of another old pal, Trevor Simms and owners Peter and Denise Riccaboni. Luigi’s at the time was probably the most popular restaurant/function room in our area, hosting stunning evenings for groups such as The Lions, East Riding Council, Hull City football club, to name just a few. Carlos was without any doubt the place to enjoy a fantastic night year round. Sadly Luigi's and Pastimes have been replaced by housing, the old market is now a children's play facility. The site of the children's rides is now part of the leisure centre site. But time as they say must move on and new things must replace the old, but not with me and Pozzy who's moved just a few hundred yards down the coast to the thriving leisure park, where I've managed to move a similar distance but northwards and still love seeing the families joining us for their ice creams, fish and chips and for the very brave amongst them a little

Meet Mike – another of HART's volunteer drivers A COUPLE of months ago we introduced Kay, who has helped keep HART's MEDiBUS service running throughout the pandemic. This time we feature Mike, her colleague volunteer driver, who between them have ensured a 5-day-a-week service is maintained. Mike joined HART in 2014, having previously worked as an ambulance driver in Scunthorpe. He retired early on health grounds, but soon got involved with a voluntary project in Barton driving people to hospital appointments and on shopping trips. He very much enjoyed the opportunity to carry on meeting people while utilising his driving skills. So on moving to Hornsea he was delighted to come across HART and discover it provided pretty much the same service. It was natural for him to offer his services as a volunteer driver. He began driving MEDiBUS on Fridays, but when another volunteer left took over Thursdays as well. He has taken the bus out on a number of trips too, before these were suspended because of covid. He finds the days tiring at times, but

immensely rewarding. He also very much appreciates the organisational back up provided by HART's office staff, while at the same time feeling trusted to get on with the job. He believes MEDiBUS provides an extremely valuable service, not only for non-car owners but also for those who in other circumstances would have access to a car but cannot use it because of their medical condition, or are too nervous to drive into Hull and then have to negotiate hospital parking! He thinks it is important to emphasise that they go not just to the main hospitals in Hull, Cottingham, and Beverley, but can be used for any health appointment, including specialist clinics, dentists, and opticians, for example. He is very conscious that many people are nervous before medical appointments, and does his best to put them at their ease by creating a relaxed

paddle in the North Sea. Long may it continue and that we find new ways to keep our holiday industry thriving. Oh and by the way 50 years after I was working for Pozzy's Dad Billy, he is still making an appearance in his old place of work, now Carousel amusements. 1. TAKE IT HOME: Litter hung by dog owners on the old railway lines 2. LUIGI’S: The former Luigi’s restaurant on Hornsea seafront

atmosphere on the bus. He believes a laugh and a joke can help take people's minds off what may be a stressful experience, and that “a bit of banter goes a long way!” He knows this is valued by the feedback he gets, including letters of appreciation sent into HART. For example, he took a community group out for a booked meal at the Wrygarth Inn on what was a particularly snowy and icy day. Many had assumed the trip would be cancelled because of the weather, so were pleasantly surprised to see the HART bus turn up as planned. The letter comments particularly on Mike's care in helping the less confident walkers to not slip when getting off the bus, and in suggesting a change of plan on the way back to take in Hornsea Garden Centre rather than Freeport on the grounds there would be less slippery paths to negotiate. He is looking forward to the day that trips can start up again. All in all, Mike thoroughly enjoys his role as a HART volunteer driver and would encourage anyone who needs any of its services to get in touch. MEDiBUS runs to hospital and other medical appointments for those without access to a car, and who cannot use public transport for any reason The return fare is £5 for bus pass holders and £10 for those without.

Plastic Free Hornsea Group and friends update 1

The Eco Hub beach hut is still, as yet, the only drop-off point in Hornsea for your (empty) tablet blister packs. Your response has been so good that we were able to take a full bin bag of them to Superdrug in Bridlington, to be sent for specialist recycling. Thank you and keep them coming!

NHS workers treated to wellbeing day at Goxhill Meadows EIGHT NHS workers who had been nominated by their colleagues had a relaxing wellbeing experience at Goxhill Meadows on Saturday, May 22. The day was offered by Goxhill Meadows owner Jayne Haigh together with Paula Cullen who is a counsellor, coach and trainer from Beverley and local artist, Charlotte Eldred. Jayne explained: “We wanted to offer this day as a small token of appreciation for the incredible efforts which have been made by NHS workers during the Covid pandemic. We wanted to provide a day for the deserving ladies to relax, take some time for themselves, have fun in the outdoor environment, try new things with like-minded people and leave at the end of the day feeling revived and rejuvenated.” The structure of the day was very loose to make it as relaxing as possible so the ladies could wind down and take some time for themselves. The eight free places were given to NHS staff who were nominated by one of their work colleagues. These colleagues

talked about the inspirational work of the nominees and their relentless efforts to make a difference to others’ lives during the Covid crisis. Goxhill Meadows, a smallholding and glamping site close to Hornsea, provided the setting for the day which all took place outdoors. The outdoor hands-on therapeutic activities included sessions with horses, pygmy goats and alpacas. The ladies were treated to homemade stone baked pizzas cooked in the outdoor pizza oven beside a warming outdoor fire with a glass of Prosecco. Paula, who is highly trained and experienced, conducted several short sessions on the day to help everyone reflect on their experiences and set goals to move forward beyond the Covid crisis. Paula has worked for many large organisations delivering wellbeing sessions for teams of employees and she is also a well-respected PTSD counsellor. Charlotte carried out an art doodling workshop which saw the ladies aptly drawing fun alpacas and having

some doodling fun. One of the ladies said the day: “has not only relaxed me to an almost comatose state, but has also grounded me and made me think, really think… .You’re set up, your ethos, your everything, is first class and wonderful. Paula and Charlotte…what perfect additions to the day. I feel truly humbled to have been nominated and to have been invited to join you.” The attendees came from all areas of the NHS including mental health teams, a theatre nurse, a manager of Psychological Medicine, community hospital staff nurse who worked on the Covid ward, a member of the admin team from Hornsea Eastgate Doctors Surgery, a paramedic and an A and E doctor. One of the attendees commented: “I don't think I ever realised how much I needed a day just to chill out and have come home rejuvenated and realising I need to make myself more time for me, whether that's at work or home.” Another attendee in their feedback after

the event said: “I not only had a fantastic, relaxing day but feel like I have been uncaged and set free! I actually cried on the way home (not out of sadness). The day made me realise the impact the past year has had on me and I am determined to keep the feeling I have now.” Following the feedback from the attendees on the day Jayne and Paula are planning to offer these Wellbeing Days through the summer months. Anyone interested can contact Jayne at: Goxhillmeadows@outlook.com

Why does he do that? by Karen Whitchurch YOU AND your dog know each other so well it’s almost telepathic. Who needs words when you have body language? Yet he’ll often do something that makes you wonder: that’s because every dog, Chihuahua, Catahoula or Cockerpoo is only a sidestep from his ancestor, the wolf. 20,000+ years of human/canine interaction have tamed and domesticated those descendants, but the old traits remain, and constantly resurface. If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on with your own house-wolf, here are a few answers.

WHY DOES HE…jump up at family, visitors and strangers? It’s not just because he loves everybody! This is an echo of early puppy behaviour. Momma wolf would bring home the pre-masticated food. Her cubs would jump up to lick at her mouth so she’d deliver their yummy regurgitated dinner. Although visitors don’t generally arrive bearing halfchewed foodstuffs, instinct, if not checked, thinks that they might. And the cute, jumpy-uppy pup, whilst annoying, isn’t in the same league as the 100lb meatball who hasn’t learned that it’s not the done thing.

WHY DOES HE…chase cats? Are dogs and cats natural enemies? No. Dogs chase cats, squirrels, and anything else because they run! It’s the hunt-chase instinct in action. But the cool, unmoving cat sneering from the fence or gate-post baffles the dog, because he doesn’t know what to do. No reaction=no chase=no fun.

WHY DOES HE…keep humping things? Inappropriate mounting, especially in play-fights, is normal behaviour in young dogs, male or female. They’re adolescents, with a rush of hormones and the need to establish their rank. But mounting is also a display of dominant behaviour, so if your dog

survival mechanism. Certain grasses (and the dog instinctively knows which ones) stimulate regurgitation, clearing the digestive system of parasites, potential toxins and other nasties.

keeps trying it on with you or one of the family, take a good look at who’s the leader of your pack, and make sure it’s not him! WHY DOES HE…cover up his droppings? Back in Wolf-world, he would dispose of the evidence so the enemy couldn’t track him, and to this day, he’ll make the effort to bury his waste. Even on concrete. Tidy. WHY DOES HE…roll in stinky stuff? If you’ve ever watched in horror while your dog coated himself in essence of dead bird, eau-de-duck-poo or best of all, rotting cod cologne, you’ll relate to this one. One theory is that he does it to mask his own scent, in case of enemy attacks. Another suggests that it’s a sociable gesture,

WHY DOES HE…gaze into your eyes and nuzzle you, snuggle up beside you, sigh contentedly and go to sleep….? …because he feels safe. And maybe because he loves you. to share an interesting scent with the rest of the pack. What a lovely thought, if never, ever appreciated! WHY DOES HE…eat grass, and then throw up? My dog does this quite often: it’s the canine equivalent of sticking your fingers down your throat, a built-in

STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID (SCM) WHERE IS IT? Your SCM, which is a long thick muscle, is located on both sides of your neck going from the top of your Sternum and Collarbone to the base of your skull behind your ears. WHAT FUNCTION DOES IT PERFORM? • Turning the neck bringing your ear to your shoulder • Rotating the head from side to side • Bending the neck forward to your chest • Helps to stabilise your head when it drops backwards • Assists chewing and swallowing • Aids in respiration and breathing HOW IS IT INJURED? We cause a lot of our own problems and pain in our SCM such as muscle tension, referred pain from another part of our body or by making it tight and/or shortened. The most common reasons for this are: • bending forward to type • looking down at our phones, tablets, books, sewing, knitting etc • turning our heads away from its centre whilst using a computer/laptop SCM pain can also be attributed to chronic health conditions, such as: • Asthma • Sinusitis • Bronchitis • Pneumonia • Influenza • Acute respiratory infections The most common other causes of injury to the SCM include: • Sudden movements, falling or accidents that result in whiplash • Working with our arms higher than our heads and our chins high – painters, mechanics, electricians or doing a simple task like hanging curtains • If we take continuous shallow breaths

• Sleeping on our stomachs with our heads turned to one side • Poor posture – the worst positions being, turning our heads to one side for extended periods or letting our head rest in the forward position • Having tight chest muscles • Wearing a tight shirt or collar WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The list of symptoms is quite extensive – we will usually get a dull ache and generally feel pressure and tightness, we might also become very sensitive to touch in our neck, shoulders or upper back or have pain in our sinuses, forehead or near our eyebrows. More serious injuries may include swelling, redness, bruising and muscle spasms. As well as these symptoms, look out for any of the following: • Problems holding your head up straight • Tinnitus, tension headaches, migraine and/or nausea • Dizziness, poor balance, vertigo or a feeling of being disorientated • Blurred vision or the light appearing to be dimmer • Pain in the ears, neck, jaw, back of your head, cheeks or around the molars • General muscle fatigue WHAT CAN WE DO? Book an appointment at the clinic and get the problem diagnosed and treated and also benefit from a bespoke rehabilitation programme so you can get back to normal as soon as possible.

Please visit us at: www.hornseadogowners.co.uk for all things dog, for information and advice. Pandemic permitting, we are hoping to resume training-classes in September, 2021. A waiting-list is currently operating.

It would also be advantageous to do some gentle daily stretches at home which will take about 10 minutes of your time. Some examples to get you started are: • Neck Rotations o Sit or stand facing forward o Adopt a good posture o Take and deep breath, exhale slowly and turn your head to one side making sure that your shoulders are fully relaxed. o Inhale and return to the centre position o Repeat on the other side o Try to do about 10 rotations

• Head Tilts o Sit or stand facing forward o Adopt a good posture o Take and deep breath, exhale slowly and tilt your ear down to your shoulder o Inhale and return to the centre position o Repeat the tilt on the other side o Try to do about 10 tilts * Remember that no exercise or stretch should cause pain – if it does then stop immediately • Heat Packs – this is quite a simple option which will help ease the pain, increase blood flow and allow for easier movement by relaxing the muscles • Cold packs – if there is inflammation then try wrapping ice in a thin towel and apply to the area for approx. 10 minutes repeating 3 times daily for the first 72 hours • Posture and Ergonomics – if you’re still working from home have a look or get somebody to look at your posture and correct it if necessary. Also be mindful that holding the phone between your ear and shoulder whilst typing is creating tension in your neck muscles • Sleep – try to avoid sleeping on your front. Try a v-pillow which helps the neck falling to one side whilst asleep. Roll a small towel and place under the curve of your neck for more support • Clothing – avoid tight collars and ties around the neck. If you have to wear one, consider undoing your top button and loosening the tie whilst sat at the workstation, on a long car journey etc. If you would like any advice on this or any other condition, please get in touch with me at the clinic. Thanks and stay safe

Welcome back to the u3a OR Welcome to the u3a Things are certainly moving on apace with our gradual re-emergence into society. We have got used to being fairly solitary so being in anything that seems like a crowd could be fairly daunting. The priority for most of us is seeing family and friends again. We have great news about the u3a getting going again. Our first meeting is in the Floral Hall at 10 for 10.30. This will be a social meeting with tea and coffee for a modest fee (and biscuits of course). On August 3rd we will have an open meeting for anyone interested to see just what this u3a thing is that people (i.e. me) bang on about. Anyone who is retired or semi-retired regardless of age is able to join. Have a look at the poster below designed by Hazel Adamson, our vice chair for a taste of some of the things we get up to.

MISSING LIBRARY BOOKS You’ve surveyed your land. For five hundred years. You're the last in your woodland. Outliving your peers. From tiny acorn. A seedling so small. With sun, soil and water. A giant was born. You’ve seen many changes. During your reign on the hill. Where once was a forest? Now gone to the mill.

Dear Editor, Some time ago I read a book called “The case of the missing books,” the first of Ian Sansom’s mobile library series. The principal of the story was employed to resurrect the long discontinued mobile library. He found the vehicle in a barn, but the books were missing. It transpired that they were scattered around the villages and were eventually collected together again.

FLASHBACK THESE photographs have been sent in by Hornsea resident Peter Fewster of The Queen’s Coronation in Hornsea in 1953. This is our last instalment of Peter’s photos so thank you for sharing them with the readers. Please do send us your old photographs of Hornsea or the surrounding villages: Hornseacommunitynews@hotmail.com

I wonder if something like this has happened to Hornsea library. After the long lockdown I visited the library and was quite baffled by the absence of books, other than a few shelves of popular fiction. There were just a few examples of the various categories of non-fiction, such as a few local history, a few of this and a few of that; but on the whole, most of the library books were missing, so I feel that as a community, we should get together and track down the missing books. If you have seen any of these books do let the library staff know so they can be restored to their rightful place. Alan Tharratt, Hornsea

Industrialisation You’ve watched it expand. Belching out gasses. Into the air, onto land.

Remembering Jeff Andrew By Rob Andrew

The water is sour. That runs past your roots. Acid rain burns you. And kill your young shoots. You can’t understand. The greed for production. Not a care for this planet. Man's own self-destruction. Your limbs shake and tremble. For your fears are real. Hoping for change. Or your future is sealed. Remembering your life. Happier times long ago. When the forest was vast. Where your brothers did grow? So look to the future. And go plant a tree. Or the oak on the hill. Will be the last you will see.

Written by Wendy Loncaster in May 2020, after lockdown had been heavily in place for 60 days, this view of Hornsea represents us, exactly one year ago. Walking outside, for that precious exercise allowance, brings a chink of opportunity to observe what is fascinating - the reactions of real people.

Ken Prest Remembered MANY Hornsea residents, particularly the older ones will have known Ken for his time as a local British Gas Meter Inspector. Ken sadly passed away in April in his 90th year. In his 70 years or so living in Hornsea with his beloved wife Val and children Gavin and Rachel he had a wonderful fulfilling life. Whatever he did was done with pride

His time as leader of the Sunday Youth Club at the Parish Hall, weekends away with walking friends met on a challenge walk in 1989 discovering the thrills of staying in youth hostels and with his wife Val

supporting him throughout. When age caught up with him, he took up photography and unsurprisingly became quite good at it. However, it was his son Gavin who excelled becoming one of the best photographers in the country. In later life Ken’s health suffered but despite this he kept his smiling face and sense of humour and had many memories of a wonderful life. His family meant so much to him and he was immensely proud of them all including his

WE ARE deeply saddened to have to notify people of my brother Jeff Andrew's death at the age of 54 years old, in Scarborough Hospital. His death was attributed to a blood clot in the brain, which occurred last Thursday May 20. Many people knew Jeff initially through his time at Hornsea School right through until his latest contact with people as a driver for Star Car Taxi's. Jeff, or as he was christened Geoffrey, was born in 1967 and my first memory of him was that immediately after he was born he was placed on the front room settee. Little were we to know that 54 years later Joe, his nephew and I would be there on his final day. To an unknowing observer Jeff was a big strong fella, disguising the fact that he did have an exciting medical history. Let us never forget the time he was knocked down outside Hornsea School, breaking his leg and spending six weeks in traction, before returning home and subsequently falling down the stairs, breaking his leg yet again. He was for many years an active member of Bridlington Round Table, gaining friends in the town. Despite owning numerous houses, flats and shops he carried on driving taxi's for

wife Val, son Gavin and daughter Rachel and his three wonderful grandsons. His funeral service on May 5 at Hornsea St Nicholas Church conducted by Reverend Tina Minett Stevens assisted by choir master Leonne Cresswell gave a great reflection on Ken’s life. A poem ‘When the Days Come’ read out at the service was also a wonderful tribute. God Bless Ken.

his friends Caroline and Spike and delivering Chinese takeaways on an evening. His children Elisha and Tobias can be very proud of his wish that his body be used to help as many people as possible. As recently as Sunday this week a call came from Scarborough Hospital to let us know that his heart, liver and kidneys had been retrieved, looking like four or five people would be helped to have better lives or indeed any life due to his gift. No doubt a lot of Jeff's friends may wish to pay their respects to a well loved man, so the family are hoping to give details of the funeral/wake, depending on current restrictions. To that end please do feel free to call me on 07966178719 Rob Andrew.

Local mum’s fundraising challenge to replace hospital books LOCAL resident Hannah Cressey has set herself the goal of raising £1000 to fund new books for Hull’s Women’s and Children’s hospital. Hannah organised an online summer fair back in June 2020 for local small businesses during the first lockdown. As part of this Hannah did some fundraising for our local hospitals raising over £1000 for their Covid appeal through the WISHH charity. Hannah explained: “I've been in contact with the WISHH charity who I did the fundraising for last year and I'm very excited to be independently fundraising on their behalf to raise funds for brand new books for the Women's and Children's hospital. They've even sent me one of their official charity tshirts to get me going. “I've had two children in the women's and children's hospital at Hull Royal. With a difficult second pregnancy I spent a lot of time there during the pandemic and the staff were nothing short of amazing. “Unfortunately, due to Covid, they had to put all of their books into storage and so they haven't had any on display for patients and visitors in over a year now. Hopefully, with things starting to move in the right direction, they will soon be able to get the books back out. I would really love it if they can put brand new shiny books out instead, kind of like a fresh start if you will.” Hannah is also an Independent organiser with Usborne Books at Home and Schools. This means Hannah can fundraise for such a cause and Usborne will add up to 60% of free books on top of the order. This has meant Hannah has given herself the target of £1000, which if met would see a whopping £1600 of brand new books donated to the hospital. Hannah has set up a Just Giving page to help with the fundraising which can be found at: http://bit.ly/HannahBooksApp eal With the Just Giving page Hannah is running a raffle to

help raise funds. Lots of small businesses across East Yorkshire are very generously donating prizes for the raffle winners. For every £1 you donate, you will receive a raffle ticket number. In order to be a part of the raffle you need to make sure you leave your name and email address on the Just Giving page when you donate so you can be contacted if you are a winner. Once Hannah has hit her target the winners will be announced live on her business Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/ha nnahjanesbookshop/ ). Details of when this live announcement will take place will be emailed to all those who have donated. 1. BOOKS: Hannah believes books are a vitally important part of children’s lives – pictured with her two year old daughter and newborn son who is now 7 weeks old. 2. CHARITY: Hannah is raising money for the books to be donated to the hospital through the WISHH charity (pictured when the t-shirt arrived and Hannah was still pregnant with her son)

One million minutes of reading challenge for pupils at Hornsea Community Primary School 1

CHILDREN at Hornsea Community Primary School have been set the challenge of reading for one million minutes in the summer term. English Leader Mrs Beaumont explained: “The aim is to help children build up their reading fluency after so much time off school and to reignite their love for reading. The children are really excited by it and our Headteacher, Mrs Whitehead, has promised us a whole school celebration if we achieve our challenge. One child has managed to read for a whopping 5,149 minutes in three weeks!” One million minutes equates to a whopping 2.7 solid years of reading

across the school in one term. Pupils have been encouraged to read at home as well as at school and record the minutes they have read in their reading record or on their class chart. The grown ups in school are also joining in and recording their reading minutes too. To achieve the school goal every child needs to read for an hour a week in school and an hour a week at home. Broken down that is 12 minutes a day in school and less than 10 minutes a day at home. Mrs Beaumont added: “Many of the staff have commented that they are busier than ever changing books and it has really sparked off the children's

enthusiasm for reading again. Parents have commented on our school Facebook page that they are not having to nag their children to read anymore!” 1. WELL DONE: Phoebe (Year 6) managed to read 5419 minutes in just three weeks. 2. READING: Harry (Year 5) enjoying reading at school 3. BOOKS: Joseph (Year 2) enjoying a book 4. RECORD: One of the school record sheets showing minutes of reading completed

Newfoundland dog creates interest By Stuart Kemp

Crochet kindness worry worms KIRSTY Lamming from Hornsea has been lifting spirits in the town with her small crochet gifts dotted around the town. The latest have been 100 worry worms which have now gone out. The cards with the worry worms say: “I’m a little worry worm. Keep me close, keep me near. When a worry pops in your head, hold me tight, whisper in my ear. I will take away your worry, so you have nothing left to fear. Handmade with love.” Kirsty previously delivered 120 hearts around the town for Valentine’s Day as well as over 200 gifts for Easter, 400 Christmas items and 300 four leaf clovers. WORRY WORMS: Some of the worry worms Kirsty has left around the town

1. HORNSEA: Ted and Martin on Hornsea seafront 2. TEDDY BEAR: Ted chilling out at the caravan at Hornsea Leisure Park A NEWFOUNDLAND Landseer dog owned by Tracey and Martin Spain has been getting a lot of attention in Hornsea. Teddy Bear or Ted for short is around six foot long and weighs 12 stone eating half a pound of

minced steak everyday! Tracey bought Ted when he was only 10 weeks old after a long-term desire to own a Newfoundland. He is now six years old and a much loved family member.

Although Tracey and Martin live in Broughton in Lincolnshire they have a caravan on Hornsea Leisure Park where they spend much of their time. Teddy can be seen most days they are here swimming in the sea on

the north beach. His breed’s webbed feet make him particularly good at swimming. Martin usually is swimming with him, and many children stop by for photographs with him.

New Police Inspector joins Neighbourhood Policing Team BASED at Bridlington 1 police station, Inspector Hussain is looking forward to working with the local community of the area which covers not only Bridlington but Driffield and Hornsea too and all the rural villages from Fimber on the west, Fordon in the North, Flamborough on the east and Cowden on the south. Talking about what brought him to the area, Inspector Hussain said: “I joined Humberside two years ago when I transferred from the Metropolitan Police where I’d spent ten years. I saw the opportunity for a transfer and moved here with my family to the beautiful East Riding in 2019. “When I came to Humberside Police I was a sergeant and was asked to be the sergeant of a patrol team based in Hull city centre. Patrol officers deal with response calls to 101 and 999 so it was a busy and interesting time for me and my colleagues. “As I continued to work in Hull I joined the Operation Yellowfin team, which tackles those who illegally ride motorcycles or ride them in an antisocial way. In London I worked on a similar scheme and reduced

motorcycle related crime in the Oxford Street areas by 60% and we have had similar success in the reduction of motorcycle related crime in Hull too. “I then worked in Custody at Clough Road for six months before being promoted to Inspector around 12 months ago. Talking about his new role, he added: “I am really looking forward to exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds us here in the East Riding. I have only visited here as a tourist so as the Inspector for the area I really want to make sure our residents and visitors feel safe here. This is such a large area and coming out of city centre policing, the biggest issue for me is not getting lost out here! I need to get to know the geography of the area. “I am also looking forward to meeting all

we are working closely with them to deal with issues such as farm machinery theft, burglary offences against wildlife. “In Hornsea they share similar concerns to Driffield. Holderness is a very rural area and the issues here are of anti-social behaviour and of people using the old railway lines to anti-socially ride motorbikes into the town.” Inspector Hussain finishes by talking about how he is hoping for a bright future in the East Riding and how the community can help make that happen: “If I ask someone in Bridlington I want them to say that they feel safe to live here and proud to be someone from this area. The Neighbourhood team here are part of that and have those same feelings, they are proud to serve their community and proud to be a part of it too. “The police cannot do everything on our own, we need the support from the local authority, local businesses and the public to help us tackle crime together. “Can I please urge our community to the new partners in the local authorities and continue to call us, no matter how small the charities locally. Inspector Rob Cocker has matter is, we want to know about it. You developed some excellent working relations might be the person that provides the piece within this community and I am looking to of the puzzle that we are working on. build on his foundations. “We have so many ways in which to get in “I want to make sure our rural communities touch, speak to the officers who are out on know who I am and who the community patrol, speak to me when you see me, call police team are. I want to reach out to them 101, contact Crimestoppers or contact us to make sure they know who to come to through our website or social media. We when they have a problem.” take each report seriously and will do what Inspector Hussain wants to reassure the we can to help solve problems. Our community of his new area: “The levels of community is our eyes and ears.” crime in the East Riding remain relatively low but we of course do have issues in our towns 1.

Coasting along By Justin Furapaddle THE ANSWER to why roadworks seem to be affecting almost every road in Hornsea can now be revealed in an ‘exclusive’ gleaned by Hornsea Community News using the ‘Freedom of Information Act.’ We are copying Hull but on a smaller scale. The drive by our city neighbours to wallow in the title of being ‘Most Congested City’ in the UK in relation to traffic has prompted our local authorities in Hornsea to get in on the act. To copy, making it imperative to impose a ‘Congestion Charge’ on our modest town centre to raise funds for monitoring the charge and financing other roadwork projects such as imposition of cycle lanes. We are already well on the way to acquiring the right amount of congestion with the adoption of, following a trial period, the new traffic light system at the junction of Market Place and Newbegin. Holiday traffic queues build nicely, especially when the sun shines and it is a Sunday or Bank Holiday. (Incidentally did anyone get the opinion of visitors stuck in the Market Place, Atwick Road and Seaton Road on Bank Holidays?) The race for greater traffic congestion has been given two boosts. Firstly by KCom who have cunningly restricted their ‘works’ to the footways, and by East Riding Council with the major upheavals on the Greenway Estate. Also, the reimposition of the weird road control structure in Eastgate serves to increase the traffic hold up in that part of the town. Therefore, when drivers will eventually have to pay a fiver to drive up and down Newbegin, remember that you read it here first. Writing of local initiatives, I was intrigued by the news that there is to be an: ‘Offshore Wind Conference.’ We are, of course, in a prime position to host this conference especially as our food caterers are noted for the strength of their mushy peas and baked beans. The Floral Hall would be a natural venue for this conference, but the committee must remember to open all doors and windows to prevent the roof being blown off when the delegates are letting nature take its windy course. Before leaving local issues perhaps it is time to re-consider allying ourselves with Scotland in seeking Home Rule for Holderness. By doing so we could re-join the EU and so protect our fishing rights over The Mere. We could also build our own University that would provide free education for all except for those in the rest of England. We could also develop a Holderness Super League. The idea of a League with no relegation would surely be appealing to Hornsea Town FC. Turning to those national issues that occupy our minds. It is good to see the roll-out of the vaccine programme being so successful and at the time of writing it is being reported that the vaccines are effective against the Indian variants. I am just disappointed that we seem to live in a country that is not that far

removed from a constant state of criminality but hidden away under obscure headings. I mean it would be nice to know just who is in charge. Is it elected politicians or their armies of ‘advisors’ and lobbyists? What of those civil servants who sit on Boards of commercial organisations and in some cases have shareholdings? Even now we, the poor public at large, have no idea how these massive government contracts for PPE and other covid measures are awarded. It all seems pretty ‘ad hoc’ and arrived at by a series of murky connections between buyers and sellers decided in smoke filled rooms or over a couple of drinks. Breaking of records can often be touted as an achievement engendering national pride but what of the record for fraud in relation to Benefits, especially Universal Credit. It allegedly stands at £8.4 BILLION. I thought Universal Credit was specifically designed to reduce fraud but all it seems to have done is make it easier. If the Government are not prepared to set an example of propriety, then the rot descends downwards. Despite all this gloom I try to remain optimistic. It will be great to hopefully see the end of wearing face masks in retail establishments. In my case they seem to adversely affect my hearing and sight as well as the capability to breathe comfortably. I will be delighted when we can again walk around supermarkets without being constantly reminded every few minutes with the same recording telling us of how they give: “Paramount importance to the safety of their colleagues and customers,” and then lecturing us on how to properly wear a face mask. Its not that long ago that these same ‘colleagues’ were somehow exempt from wearing a mask! Same with antiseptic hand wash. The chances are that the means of dispensing are empty. Still, it does add up to us all ‘being in this together!’ There is some good news about but as always, it is a case of profit and loss. It is good to be able to welcome ‘Poundland’ into Hornsea especially as this will take care of that thorny problem of what to buy ‘her who must be obeyed’ for her Christmas present. Give her a quid to spend with the freedom to make her own choice on what to spend it on. Job done. I guess the ‘loss’ element is that uncertainty for previous employees when these types of changes occur. I hope the Fulton’s staff are taken care of. I also hope that Poundland do not have ‘piped music’ in their new store. All life’s irritations can be traced back to music and fresh air. Lastly it is perhaps unfair to use this column to make an appeal to my reader, but do you have the Prime Minister's private phone number? Evidently it has been readily available for years, but I do not have it and would like to ring him to get his advice on home decorating, room improvements and prime holiday destinations.

Lost service medal reunited with family IN LAST month’s edition we featured a service medal found by a Hornsea resident in Hornsea a few years ago. She has tried previously to find the owner but with no luck. Following an appeal in the paper we have been delighted to be able to reunite the medal with the soldier’s family in another part of Yorkshire. We also featured the appeal in our other edition of the newspaper – The Withernsea & District Community News. A friend of the soldier’s widow recognised the name straight away and contacted the lady who would otherwise not have seen it. Diane Fallows husband passed away last July. In December Diane moved back from Withernsea to South Yorkshire to be nearer her family. We took the medal

over to South Yorkshire to return to the family and it is now with their daughter Nikita Davidson. The family do not know how it came to be in Hall Garth Park in Hornsea but are thankful to have it back with them.

REUNITED: Nikita Davidson reunited with her late father’s Northern Ireland Campaign Medal

Local business presented with East Yorkshire Council Chairman’s Award THE WINNERS of the 2020 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Chairman’s Awards have now received their awards. The annual presentation of the awards celebrates individuals, businesses, building projects and community groups which have made a significant contribution to improving life in the East Riding. Last year’s winners were crowned during a virtual event which was shown live on the council’s social media channels, and the recent easing of restrictions has allowed the Chairman of the council, Councillor Pat Smith, to present the awards to the individual winners in person. Councillor Smith said: “This is our chance to thank and to honour those people all across the East Riding – businesses and organisations large and small - who contribute a huge amount, and often go the extra mile, to promote the area as a great place in which to work and to live. “During my term of office as chairman, it is a constant source of pleasure and pride for me to see all those people who work so hard within their local communities to make the East Riding the very special place we all know it to be.” “These awards continue to reflect the unique community spirit of our local area, and the efforts made by so many.” The Business Award for 50 and under employees was jointly won by CAB Executive Travel and Subli Metals based in Mappleton. Subli Metals is a family business which has grown from a couple who wanted to be self-employed to a thriving business employing seven local people. It specialises in aluminium sublimation blanks, from bookmarks to clocks, from

sheet stock to door plaques. The business has helped local mums get back into work and is flexible, so working hours fit around school times. Employees are given the training they need to undertake this skilled work. Business owners Carl Northwood and Nicci Simmonds said: “Thank you for giving us the Business Award. It was a welcome boost last summer, during what was an extremely tough year for all. Since receiving the award, we have gone from strength to strength, and continue to expand. Since the summer we have employed a further five local people, so there are now 14 of us beavering away in Mappleton, creating niche aluminium products for the personalised gift industry. “We support and supply other small businesses around the country. We continue to be an understanding and flexible employer, growing with our team into the successful company we are today. We appreciate our efforts being rewarded with this award and would like to thank the Chairman once again.” The Built Heritage Award was presented to 9 Vicar Lane, Howden. The Sport – Team / Club Category winner was Driffield RUFC Ladies Team. The Sport – Talented Performer Category winner was Emily Asquith from Bridlington. The Community Group Winner was Hessle Epilepsy Society and finally the Community – Individual winner was Darren Baker from Driffield.

Local ceramicist using beach finds to create unique pieces of art STUDIO Jacq Ceramics is a new venture by Jacqueline Gaemers Schouten. Originally from Amsterdam Jacq, as she likes to be known by, has lived in Rise with her husband and two daughters for the past 12 years. She has recently created a studio in her farmhouse home. Jacq started her ceramics journey by doing a course in ceramics and glass at Hull College five years ago. This was inspired by a visit to the Earth and Fire Ceramic Exhibition in Nottingham. She bought a kiln and started creating her work with local clay. After gifting her first

creations to family and friends she was amazed at the response and decided to expand her range. Jacq’s work is now on display at the Townhouse in Hornsea. Her designs use shells, fossils and rocks and she creates her own clay which is very dark but effective for her unique designs. Jacq is also contactable at j.s.gaemers@gmail.com 1.

Turning a love for cinema into a creative business HORNSEA resident Holly Edkins has turned her love of film into a new business. Reelluminations repurpose old film stock to create unique lampshades and jewellery. Holly has always been a big film fan and after working in a cinema that went digital, she was able to take the old reels. While on furlough in the last year Holly has used her creative talents to turn the old reels into lampshades and jewellery with the lampshades proving particularly popular after a display in the window of the Townhouse in Hornsea. Holly has also shown her work at local fairs and will be at one at Bridlington Spa on June 21. She is now adding to her collection by creating classic frames of famous cinema names from the past including John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Peter Ustinov and Humphrey Bogart. The products Holly creates use film which can no longer be used such as that from trailers, partial reels or damaged film stock. All salvageable film acquired is sent on to collectors and restorers.

Hornsea Photography Club 1

OUR MEETING on Thursday, May 6 started with a presentation by one of our members, Gerry Quinn. He was responding to a discussion about the numbers of photographs uploaded to our Facebook page which involved detailed close-up shots. These are mainly of insects and flowers when the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size. This area of photography is referred to as Macrophotography. The temptation to simply 'get closer' with your phone or camera results in blurred photographs or a shot that has one or two bits very sharp with the rest of the subject out of focus. Why Macro, why not just zoom? With high megapixel cameras we can zoom in then crop the images, but as we do we see the discrepancies in the focus and to some extent lose sharpness too. Using a dedicated lens or system (Macro) gets us closer in the first instance and can, if carefully done, produce super sharp images that can be printed very large. Macro can also show fantastic detail on tiny items for example the claws of the ladybird on the snowdrop! This led onto online discussions about focus stacking and getting the 'proper' kit for macro photography. One advantage of our Facebook page is the

opportunity to ask follow-on questions or upload relevant photographs after a club meeting. One conversation string I followed led me to ask Glenn Malkin what inspired him to follow up Gerry's talk on Macro photography and he responded: “I am always excited to see those amazing photographs of insects close up - the sparkling beady eyes or the delicate filaments of antennae or wings. As a relative beginner I have limited equipment and I have relied in the past on simply zooming in on the computer to pick out details in my pictures, but they never come out particularly well. So listening to Gerry's talk on macro photography got me thinking about how best to have a crack at this area of the hobby. “I can't afford to buy a macro lens, not least because I don't know how much use it would actually get at this stage. I thought about buying some magnification filters which just go onto the end of my lenses, but I was a bit concerned about quality if I only bought cheap ones. So after asking advice on the club Facebook page, I plumped for a set of extension tubes which cost about £30 for my Nikon 3200. These have the advantage of working with either of the lenses I have for my camera and also the three extension

tubes can be combined in different ways to give a variety of magnifications. My first efforts were quick, simple, hand held, autofocus shots but I was really happy with the results, especially a couple of shots I took of a butterfly on a flower. “Thanks to Gerry and the others who advised me about macro kit. The first quick test results were taken with a 70300mm zoom and a 36mm extension tube, hand held but auto everything. The problem with getting closer to your subject is the depth of field (how much is in focus front to back) in the image decreases, so macro is usually shot with small apertures ie f11 – f22. This gives greater depth of field but sometimes that isn’t enough. To get really sharp, high magnification macro images entails taking multiple images, each with a fractionally adjusted focal point, then stacking them together in software to produce a single image combining only the in-focus part of each image. The results make it clear how useful focus stacking will be though when I get time to play with it properly! Now I am planning on taking a bit more time to set up some shots using my tripod whilst taking multiple photos, each focussed on a slightly different part of the subject. These can then be

The beginning of classical concerts? By Sarah Perkins for Hornsea Music Society HORNSEA Music Society’s Chairman, Roberta Loades has been on the case again recently. Stage one: negotiating with the United Reformed Church about when the church will be available as a concert venue again. It is looking as though a concert will be possible in September, after church services have been back in action in real life for a little while. The Society really are most grateful to the Church Elders for allowing us to use this wonderful church for our concerts. All our artists have passed most favourable comments about its acoustics and welcoming atmosphere. Stage two: Organising a performance. Roberta has been having lots of discussions with artists over the last year or so about bookings and arrangements to postpone programmes. Roberta says “We are very pleased that

local group Opera 17 have offered to give their services for nothing to raise funds for the Hornsea Music Society, which is very generous of them. I haven’t finalised the arrangements yet, but I’m hoping that this will be our first step on the road back to normality. So all that remains is stage three: working through the practicalities of getting everyone into and out of the URC under whatever method is required when we get that far. Work has also gone into keeping up with the necessary regulations. The final piece of the puzzle is that the much-loved grand piano is being serviced, so it will be ready to shine again in the new post pandemic world.

really easily combined in the software on my computer to produce a really sharp image (known as focus stacking). “I have so much to learn but I am finding the fun is actually in the learning itself, playing about with new (to me) ideas. And behind that there is such a great group of supportive and helpful photographers in the Hornsea Photographic Club who are always willing to advise and suggest how I might improve my photos or experiment with alternative approaches. Now, how about getting really close up to the centre of that flower?” Hornsea Photography Club is planning the first post-lockdown indoor meeting at Hornsea Golf Club on Thursday, July 1 starting at 7.30pm (HPC will meet the first Thursday evening each month). As we have a joint Photo Challenge (HPC and Focus in Bridlington versus two clubs in Australia) shortly we are starting off with some advice from Gavin Prest- 10 points of judging - which will highlight key points to identify good photographs and then everyone will help to choose entries from the Facebook Pom/Aus folder to use in the competition. No doubt there will be lots of discussion as members show off new equipment and share photographic skills.

After discussion it was agreed to experiment with two meetings a month using a different evening and considering more practical studio sessions. HPC is able to book Hornsea Golf Club for the second Tuesday of the month and so this first meeting will be on Tuesday, July 13 when there will be an opportunity both to try out Macro techniques and photograph reptiles. Keep a watching brief on our Facebook page (Hornsea Photography) where you will find alerts to events and invitations to use the photo opportunities presented. Check it out and see what our members get up to and the plans for our next meeting on Thursday, June 3 with a planned 'Hornsea Wander - evening walk' on Tuesday, June 15 starting at 7pm.

Hornsea District Walking Club walks restart Borrowdale' towards Derwentwater. And so day two dawned with glorious weather for our ascent of Haystacks. First though some of us visited the little Church in Buttermere with its window dedicated to AW, looking over the lake towards Haystacks. Meanwhile back in the Youth Hostel, one of our party had discovered he had been locked out of his room whilst in the shower along the corridor! Fortunately access to his room was soon obtained and, with his dignity restored, he was able to join the rest of Evening Walk, May 19 by Stuart Kemp us for the group photo before we set off towards Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, this was the first programmed Club walk since March 2020 and was with Haystacks. The walk starts with a pleasant 1½ mile the traditional first evening walk of the summer around stroll alongside the lake to the bottom of Scarth Gap Hornsea Mere. Twelve members set off from Mereside Pass. Here the going gets tough - the next mile up to car park at 7pm heading along Southgate to Hull Road. Scarth Gap involves a steady climb of about 1,200ft. At Scarth Gap we took a breather, regrouped and, as From there the walkers took to the footpath through AW would say, "girded up our loins" and prepared to the allotments to join the Trans-Pennine Trail. This was followed for some way until taking a minor road to tackle the remaining 400ft onto Haystacks itself. It seemed harder than AW's guidebook suggests, with the hamlet of Goxhill. Here we had a brief stop at the fascinating St Giles Church, which is well worth a visit, some near-vertical scrambling and no obvious path. Some of our group were again having second thoughts, before heading across fields towards Wassand but but with gentle persuasion everyone made it, to be then turned back, overlooking the Mere, towards rewarded with the vista of the surrounding fells across Hornsea. There were fantastic views across Hornsea Mere with the red sky of sunset reflecting in the waters the waters of Innominate Tarn. After a break we said creating a stunning scene.

As well as people realising the benefits of walking to their health doctors are promoting the benefits of walking to their patients. Several club members have commented that they have seen more people walking than before and that everyone appears

to be enjoying the activity. As the lockdown ends Stuart expects that in the coming months we will continue to see more people whilst we are out on our walks, as they have realised how amazing the countryside is and how beneficial it is helping with stress and mental health issues. We all look forward to a good walking summer. REMEMBER: TAKE CARE, BE CAUTIOUS and STAY SAFE 1. Evening Walk on the Rail Trail (by Joyce Davidson) 2.

HORNSEA CRICKET CLUB By Ian Bottom, Club Secretary THE 2021 season started in difficult circumstances for a variety of reasons ranging from player concerns over uncertainty of playing conditions, through to injuries, and during matches meeting a number of opposition players producing inspired performances. As future weeks tick by it is hoped that player availability and confidence will improve, generating improved results. I should take the opportunity to thank all those involved, either on the playing or hospitality sides for their cooperation in adhering to all the Covid-19 protocols in place during the past month. Pleasingly, from May 17 spectators have been allowed at matches subject to adherence to the UK Government’s Covid guidelines on social distancing etc. – we hope to see familiar faces back at the ground in forthcoming weeks.

bottom two, themselves and Londesborough Park, next week’s opposition, the only teams in the division to have not yet won a game. Hornsea 2nds 162-9 (5 points) v Hull Strikers 166-5 This was another game for the 2nd team where the opposition have moved home ground, this time to Walkington CC. Hornsea batted first and although James Mooney top scored with 45 there was much better support from his team mates as they posted a competitive total. In the end Abdul Rasheed 66no and Kevin Christian 38 scored the majority of the hosts’ response but had it not been for a few difficult dropped chances it could well have been a better result for Hornsea. A much better performance from the 2nd team in a match played in excellent spirit by both teams.

This is a brief summary of the past month: SATURDAY 24 APRIL Patrington 338 v Hornsea 149 (7 points) The League’s outstanding bowling performance came at Southside where Ian Buss took 8-42 for Patrington as they beat Hornsea by 189 runs. The hosts made the perfect start with a stand of 114 between openers Connor McKinley (70) and Sam Fuller (41). Ashley McKinley kept up the scoring with 85 and a half-century at the back end of the innings from Daniel Fincham (50) left the visitors chasing 339 to win, that despite five wickets from Joe Butterworth (5-83) and Robert Mewburn’s 3-66. Hornsea were reduced to 55-5 in reply skipper Jonathan Fisher making 39 before they eventually reached 149 thanks largely to a seventh wicket partnership of 56 between Mark Brightmore (44) and Robert Mewburn (29no).

SATURDAY 15 MAY Cottingham 339-9 v Hornsea 85 (4 points) The Hornsea bowlers found themselves in the firing line against Cottingham as Dominic Rhodes scored a double-hundred off only 117 balls. The former Stamford Bridge Premier League allrounder finished unbeaten on 224 as the visitors reached 339-9 from 50 overs, around him wickets fell at regular intervals with Nick Moulds the pick of the bowlers finishing with 4-85. The hosts were bowled out for 85 in reply top scorer Mark Brightmore (24) one of only three batsmen to reach double figures whilst Danny Moss picked up 3-37. The result leaves Hornsea in the

Hornsea 2nds 138 (3 points) v Kirkella 139-3 Hornsea batted first and struggled from the off. A number of dismissals to overly adventurous strokes meant that the innings never gained the necessary momentum with only David Prescott (68) staying at the wicket for long enough to make a sizeable contribution against a well-balanced bowling attack. The Kirkella reply was initially subdued by a couple of early wickets for Taylor Vickerton (2-19), but once opener Ashley Wills (90no) got into his stride there was only going to be one winner. p - Played, W - Win, WD - Winning Draw , t - Tied (15), LD Mention should be given to Kieran Gibson (1-21 off 7.4 overs) for Losing Draw (1), C/A - Cancelled/Abandoned, L - Lose, BatP a consistently tidy bowling spell.

AND BREATHE. So far so good. We are on the green and enjoying being outside. The Leagues started mid-May with the other evening league due to start at the beginning of June. There have been quite a number of amendments to the league schedules due to teams dropping out but we are still going to field all our teams. The draw for our Club competitions has been made and the contests will complete in September, slightly later than usual.

Our Tuesday morning roll ups are as popular as ever and well attended by both old and new bowlers so if you have not tried your hand at the game, you are more than welcome to come along and have a try just be there by 10.15am and have flat shoes or trainers. We can now even offer a drink after the session. All we need now is warmer weather to make playing more enjoyable. Hope to see you on the green.

Hornsea Golf Club By Wright Golf Open Competitions a success at Hornsea FOLLOWING the success of our first open competition on May 5 we moved onto Wednesday, May 12 when we held our second Over 50’s Open Am Am of the year and had 35 teams attending from all over the Yorkshire County, and a few from Lincolnshire. We had a drizzly start to the day at Hornsea, however by the time play had begun the day began to brighten and with the sun coming out in the afternoon it turned out quite warm for Hornsea! A team from Driffield won with 87 points. The next best in was Hessle with an 84. A popular score of which the next four prize winners also had. Many thanks to our greens staff for preparing the course for the day, every day now we are seeing growth and improvement following some rain finally and a steady increase in temperatures. Thanks also to the catering staff who are also working in unusual circumstances, the patio was busy both before and after play and once again the Halfway House was appreciated. I must also thank our volunteer starters who attended both events ensuring the smooth running of the first tee and reminding all players of the rules for the day and current covid guidelines. So to Sue Howell, Patsy Yeates, Tom Elder our Club Captain and finally Wendy Lockwood, your help was very much appreciated as always. The timesheet is now open for May 2022, with bookings already coming in for both events, on the 4th and the 11th. Please book via our website or give us a ring in the Pro Shop. Finally, thank you to all golfers for attending and supporting Hornsea Golf

Club it is very much appreciated. Team Champions The first East Riding Union Championship since July 2019 brought a welcome return to competitive golf at the district level. A full field of 24 teams had entered but the reality was that only a handful was to be the likely winner. ERUGC Official Starter, Andy Pittaway, got the event underway at 7.30am in the presence of Hornsea GC Captain Tom Elder. The first group out commenced under leaden skies with the portents of rain as Nick Raybould from the home club hit the first shot. He was followed by Burstwick Country Golf’s Rob Draper and Ryan Gray from Driffield GC. After a prolonged dry, cold spell the course was subjected to 20mm of rain during Saturday and overnight rain could have threatened cancellation. Strangely the weather forecast was inaccurate and no further rain materialised, the event went ahead as planned although preferred lies were in operation. Many thanks to Gareth Williams and his team for turning out the course as well as they did given the lack of growth in the preceding weeks. At the end of round one, it was clear that the A.B. Care Trophy was either returning to holders Hessle or being handed to their chief protagonists, Hornsea. Raybould returned a 71, brother Matt a 75 and Jack Maxey a 73 for a lunchtime leading score of 219. Only 2 shots back were Hessle with new recruit Stuart Easton 73, East Riding Past President, Andy

Woodhead 72 and Lewis Blanchard 76. Indeed it could have been closer but for Easton taking 7 on the par 4 10th hole. After a flyer over the green resulted in an unplayable lie he was unfortunate to move his ball for a further penalty shot. On such fine margins are championships decided. Other contenders couldn’t quite manage to put the pressure on as, Beverley & East Riding, Boothferry, Cottingham, Hornsea B, Hull and both Scarborough North Cliff teams had one poor score. A brighter afternoon but with a freshening breeze saw round 2 commence just afternoon. Reports from the course intimated that the Championship was on a knife-edge and local supporters sought solace with refreshments from the clubhouse. Hornsea’s afternoon efforts were six worse at 225 and when, further down the field, Easton produced a best of the day equalling, 71 a “grandstand” finish looked on the cards. Blanchard matched his morning round of 76 but, by his own admission, a tiring Woodhead slipped to a 79. Hornsea clearly has the strength in depth with their B and C teams finishing third and fourth respectively. It was a

pleasure to see a team from Filey, featuring a return to the amateur ranks by Fraser Kelley, who finished fifth with six solid cards. They are the hosts in 2022 which happens to be their 125th anniversary. It was also great to see the return of Steve and Dave Raybould representing Scarborough North Cliff, not quite rolling

back the years, but still getting the ball around very respectably. At the other end of the age spectrum, juniors Tommy Risker and Tom Benson impressed with (74 + 75 = 149) and (75 & 75 = 150) respectively for Scarborough North Cliff B. In the end it was Hornsea’s day though and many congratulations to them with their fantastic score of 444.

HORNSEA HARRIERS COMPETE IN DEAD DAFFODIL DASH WHEN the starting line is just past the goats on the left playing on a see-saw, you know this isn’t just any old race. And that feeling only intensifies as you climb the steep ascent towards a Tudor Jacobean manor, once the home of the husband of Mary, Queen of Scots and father of the future King James 1 of England, before setting off through parkland landscaped by Capability Brown. Six members of Hornsea Harriers went on a 90-minute road trip to compete in the Dead Daffodil Dash on Sunday, May 9. It was organised by It’s Grim Up North, and set in the grounds of Temple Newsam, the country estate to the east of Leeds. Now a popular tourist attraction with a working farm and rare breed centre as well as its historic house centrepiece, the event is usually one of the first in the spring racing calendar, with participants rewarded with a bunch of daffodils in their finishers’ goodie bags. With Covid playing havoc with running events, the race was pushed back a few months long after the daffodils have passed but the event still proved popular with scores of runners from all over Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Liz Hardy, Peter Cork and Mark Williamson took on the marathon distance while Ian Coggan opted for the half marathon. Clair Williamson and

Allison Coggan chose the 6.7-mile event. Liz, Peter and Mark set off first, completing four loops of the course. Ian was next, with Clair and Allison the last of the group to line up for the shortest distance. IGUN organisers have honed their Covid-19 precautions throughout the course of the pandemic and the race went like clockwork. Participants are given a registration time to collect their race numbers and register their contact details for Track and Trace before they return to the starting line for their race to begin, with runners grouped in sixes. All three distances were loops of the same course, with the marathoners running four loops, Ian running two and Clair and Allison completing a single loop. The runners start with a climb towards the house, a Grade 1 listed “building of outstanding or national architectural or historic interest." The course then veers to the left and weaves throughout the estate, crossing footbridges over babbling brooks, around ornamental gardens with rhododendrons beginning to bud before climbing up and up through woods with the forest floor transformed by carpets of bluebells. IGUN rate this run “Proper Grim” with four hiking books - on account of the

steep inclines along the route. But the hills give those less bothered about achieving “personal bests” who sign up for the joy of this kind of running experience the chance to take photographs and admire the view. About two-thirds of the way through the loop, the path opens out and you find yourself at the top of a tree-lined avenue, with a breath-taking view of the house before you. Hurtling down the hill, every runner thanks their lucky stars we run down this one – not up! One of the best things about IGUN events is the camaraderie among runners and that was on full display this weekend. Runners cheer each other on, with those running the shorter distances and a bit fresher on their feet able to offer motivation and encouragement to the longer distance runners, flagging as they approach the end of their endeavours. The route runs alongside the M1 before weaving back into the woods in the estate and then up the side of the golf course. You share the course with families out for a Sunday walk, people enjoying a picnic in the woods despite the inclement weather, cyclists and golfers – and it’s all the better for it. Emerging through the park, you run along the side of the house before the final hurrah down the hill towards the finishing line, cheered on, as ever, by

the friendly marshals and other runners who have already completed their distances. As all runners know, one of the best parts of IGUN events is the cake at the finishing line, with a chance to sit on the grass in beautiful surroundings and admire the view. A great day out, with a medal, beer and chocolate in your goodie bag to help you savour the moment.

On the bank – Tansterne Fishery AS WE head into the late spring early summer fishing, things begin to change – the fish spawn and then come onto the feed in a big way and net catches start to creep over the 100lb for numerous anglers. For this edition I wanted to talk to the readers about putting together charity matches as I thought this might be something anglers may want to do post pandemic but have no idea how to approach it. On Saturday, May 8 we had such a charity match for Breast Cancer and I thought I would explain how we go about raising funds and the preparation as well as the match and how it all works. I truly believe that some anglers think the fishing fairy turns up and all is in order for them to turn up draw a peg, fish and go home – this is not the case and many hours of work go into each match to ensure it runs smoothly and without incident. Firstly, you need to nominate a charity and there are so many so, sometimes splitting the funds raised to more than one can draw more anglers and support but for this event it is Breast Cancer. You need to manage your expectations – how much are you looking to raise and how will you raise the funds. Derrick and Steve, who have only been at Tansterne for just over a year and had coaching lessons on the Pole so that they have become more than competent anglers, want to run a charity match for Breast Cancer. They are confident enough to fish in a match with more experienced anglers but to give everyone a chance this is a pre-set pairs match. What this means is that on the day each angler will draw or have drawn (Covid rules) a peg for him/her to fish but they will know which peg their partner will be fishing. What we do at Tansterne is we assess the pond and put the strongest peg with the weakest peg and then the second strongest with the second weakest until we have 10 pairs of pegs for 20 anglers. On the day the best angler in the match might draw the poorest peg and the worst angler the strongest

peg but that is all left to chance and the conditions. When we talk about the best peg it would be based on recent results but a change in wind direction or air pressure might turn this from a favoured peg to a poor peg and an example would be peg 3 – with a 5-10 mph westerly, this is a wonderful peg to fish but with 30-40mph easterly’s it is a poor peg. The bridge pegs fish excellent with high air pressure and 18c to 20c on a nice summers’ day but 9c and low air pressure and the fish will not be in these pegs. Leading up to the event you need to get your anglers, so you produce flyers with the information e.g., £20 entry including peg fee pools and a charity donation. Breaking this down the monies would be split with part going into the pools which is the winnings which they are fishing for – a discounted peg fee – this is the owner providing the pond and pegs for less than the normal tariff and the balance going towards the charity. Now this would not produce sufficient funds to make the event worthwhile – so we include a raffle and ask each angler to bring a prize to the value of no more than £5 and we sell tickets on the day with all proceeds going to the charity. It is good to let as many anglers know about the event as some will not be able to make it but might want to make a donation or donate a raffle prize to the charity. Within the flyer you need to put the date and time of the draw plus the match time e.g. draw 8.30am fish 9.30am – 3pm – you would also mention the potential prizes e.g. x £ for the top anglers then prizes for the top three teams. You need to organise weighing in teams to work within covid guidelines – prepare result sheets and have a list of those anglers who have agreed to fish. On the day the draw comes out of a hat or bag with disks or bottle caps with peg numbers – you need to check that all keep nets and landing nets are in good condition ( we supply our own at Tansterne ) and you need to prepare the grounds – cutting / trimming

reeds – tidying pathways – having adequate safe car parking etc. It is also helpful if you can have a charity representative at the prize giving and someone with a camera or iPad to take photos. From the anglers’ point of view preparation is key – what is the weather going to be like – what baits will I need – enquire at the venue to what have anglers been catching on. Make sure your elastics are in good order and hook links are sharp – do you need to have duplicate rigs for banded baits if soft baits do not work. As you do not know what peg you will get, do you have a wide choice of rigs at different depths – have you made a heavier rig in case of windy conditions. If running a raffle or tombola, do you need extra staff for the selling of tickets – sorting the prizes

close result. As a contrast we had a match last year with only eight anglers netting over 1,000 lb between them. The match ended at 3pm and the sodden anglers started to pack their gear away whilst telling stories of the ones that got away to anyone who had the willpower left to listen. The results were in and I withdrew to the caravan to put partners' weights together and see who was in the prize money. There was a prize for the outright top angler on the day and this went to Chris Fisher with 81 lb 3 oz. with weights of 53.01 41.08 and 62.08 it would come down to the partners to see who won the pairs and runners up places. In third, Steve Pulford 62 lb 8 oz had Bob Newby with 14 lb 08 oz for 77 lb – runners up Darren with 53 lb 01 oz and Macca with 30 lb 15 oz for 84 lb – Chris had to dodge the one blank on the pond and a THE MATCH sit turned out he drew Phil with the lowest recorded As I had to drop out at short notice, I drew the pegs for each angler – they would say their name – I would weight of 3 lb 14 oz but with Chris having 81.03 – this gave them 85 lb 01 oz and first prize. draw a number out of the bag and it would be logged This shows that everyone has a chance of winning on the results board and they would be told which peg and had Phil had 2lb 12 oz they would have lost – the they were partnered with.

Hornsea RUFC update By Steve Crook AS EVER there has been plenty going on at Hornsea RUFC during the month. The men’s section have been continuing to train, regain fitness and improve their skills following the return to rugby in late April. A summer of training follows, ready for the club’s return to the Yorkshire league in Division 4, starting in September. The ladies section have been training every week also and held their RFU Inner Warrior night on Monday 24. This is an RFU backed scheme to try and encourage more ladies to give rugby a go, which was a great success thanks to the hard work of the whole of the

lady’s section. The mini / junior section have also been training every Sunday morning and are getting good numbers. Two lads who have, and do, train with us from time to time are going great guns in their respective rugby careers. Ben Copley currently captain the Yorkshire Academy Under 19’s side who have been playing matches against Premiership Club’s Under 19’s sides to great success. And Zach Jebson has made the Hull FC Academy Under 19’s squad and has had his first action at this level this month.

UPCOMING EVENTS AND NEWS The men’s league fixtures are to be announced in early June. The club’s AGM will be taking place in June, date to be confirmed. The annual Kayak Regatta will hopefully be taking place over the summer. The annual Golf AM / AM will be taking place in August The men’s section are hosting a 7’s tournament in August

Brandesburton AFC May 1: Leven MC Reserves 2 - 4 Brandesburton AFC Seconds The local derby saw us walk away with 3 points with three goals from Christian Hadgraft and one from Benji Voase. Reckitts Reserves 1 - 4 Brandesburton AFC The firsts took away three points away at Reckitts seconds away at Hull University. With one own goal, two goals from Joe Bremmer and one from Chris Adams. May 8: Easington United AFC 2 - 6 Brandesburton AFC BAFC had a poor start to the game losing 2-0 until the final third of the match saw them score six goals inside the last 24 minutes to win the three points. Dave White scored four of the goals, with the other two coming from Connor Boyd and Chris Adams. League Table: Humber Premier League – Division One

Hornsea Town AFC May 1: Hornsea Town 2 – 2 Pocklington Town Town came away with what felt like 2 points dropped Vs Pocklington after conceding a last minute equaliser that, to many, did not appear to cross the line. May 8: Hornsea Town 1 – 0 South Cave A solid 1-0 win for the lads today. A number of Hornsea missed chances left it looking like a point was on the cards but a late Jezz Longley penalty saw Town take all 3 points. May 15: Hornsea Town 1 – 2 Hessle Rangers The final game of the season on May 15 saw Town’s good run of form come to an end with a poor performance and result. In truth, the lads never really got going in this one and recent efforts were not replicated. With many positives to take from the final run in of games with Town now look forward to the 21/22 Humber Premier League season. League Table
