YOUR JUBILEE PULL OUT GUIDE INSIDE PLUS YOUR GUIDE TO JULY EVENTS INCLUDING HORNSEA CARNIVAL
Puffin sculpture trail going live THIS SUMMER puffins are flying into East Yorkshire including Hornsea and Skipsea, as they find new and often unlikely habitats! These are no ordinary puffins, but beautiful, artist decorated sculptures, standing proudly 1.5m tall, colourful beacons in the landscape. ‘Puffins Galore!’ will harness the special magnetism of this popular, but endangered, seabird to attract more visitors to the glorious East Yorkshire Coast. This mass participation public art event is modelled on the hugely successful and award winning Hull and East Riding trails - ‘Larkin with Toads’ and ‘A Moth for Amy’. From Saturday, July 2 to the end of October this year, 42 Puffins will delight people of all ages as they search for them from Bempton and Flamborough in the north to Easington and Kilnsea in the south, and at towns and cities inland. Bridlington, Hornsea, Withernsea, Beverley, Cottingham and Hull will all have their own Puffin minitrails. The project has been made possible with initial investment and support from key partner Yorkshire Coast BID and project partner Visit East Yorkshire. Each puffin has been sponsored by a business or institution which has chosen their unique design from artists’ submissions inspired by stories of the East Yorkshire Coast, endangered
wildlife of our coasts and seas, global warming and the growth of green energy. Art trail veteran and co-director of Puffins Galore!, Rick Welton commented: “We’ve been delighted by the generous response from local businesses keen to sponsor their puffin. Puffins seem to be everybody’s favourite bird, and the wildlife themes in particular have really inspired some wonderful designs from artists. We had over 150 designs submitted from artists across East Yorkshire but also from much further afield. Over the past few weeks, our artists have been working from their homes and studios around the UK. Quite a few have chosen to work in our makeshift studio-warehouse at The Boathouse in Hull, which has been kindly loaned by culture fans, local property developers, Rachel and James Murray.” Project Manager and co-director Clare Huby explained: “Puffins Galore! makes great connections between art, commerce, the general public and our charities. This feels more important than ever considering the separation we have all endured over the last two years. Past experience with the Larkin Toads and A Moth for Amy tells us that members of the public really enjoy

these animal sculpture trails. It’s an event that all the family can take part in – finding the puffins, taking photos and discovering the ideas that have inspired our artists.” At the end of Puffins Galore! all of the Puffin sculptures will be sold, either to their sponsor or at a grand charity auction. Clare added: “The funds raised will benefit four charities that we have selected for their important role protecting the wildlife of the coasts and seas or for their essential work saving lives at sea Hornsea Inshore Rescue, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, RNLI and RSPB.”
The sculptures are already creating a buzz on social media with people desperate to find out where to find them. Rick Welton added: “This plucky little seabird is proving to be incredibly popular with our followers and even international author Val Wood is involved. Val has written a short story especially for Puffins Galore! which we will be releasing soon – watch this space! The puffin locations will be announced on social media, with our special phone-friendly Puffin Spotters app and distributing thousands of free Puffin Trail Maps across the region.” Kerry Carruthers, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Coast BID says: “Being able to support projects like Puffins Galore! that make art and education about wildlife accessible for people of all ages along the Yorkshire Coast is fantastic! The talent involved in designing the Puffins alone is worth celebrating, and we encourage everyone to make the discovery of these a must do activity this summer.”
BEFORE: One of the plain puffins before they were hand painted by artists. The designs will be unveiled from Saturday July 2

Annual art exhibition returns By Gillian Fitzpatrick AFTER two years absence due to the Coronavirus pandemic the Hornsea Art Society Annual Exhibition will take place in the Masonic Hall on Alexandra Road in Hornsea. It will be open to the public from Tuesday, July 26 until Saturday, August 6. This is always a well-attended event, with a variety of styles of art
to suit all tastes and pockets. On the middle weekend there will be 'Meet the Artists' taking place at the Town Hall. This was previously 'Open Studios', with artists working at various locations. It has now been reduced to one location making it easier for the public to visit and enjoy seeing our
talented members' different styles of painting, sculpture, ceramics etc. The Town Hall is open from 10am to 4 pm and will be open for both Saturday and Sunday July 30 and 31. It is only a short walk from the Masonic Hall, so why not take a look. At the moment we have over 20 artists taking part.
Murmuration returns to roundabout
the town and is usually an iconic Hornsea Pottery orange however it had been vandalised with blue and white paint. The murmuration had to be taken away for blasting before being repainted orange. Councillor Barbara Jefferson commented: “I am delighted that the murmuration has returned to the Hull Road roundabout as this was part of the Hornsea Area Regeneration
Partnership (HARP) project to promote the Hornsea Pottery Trail. This iconic orange piece of art has now been restored to its former glory, it is the intention of HARP to continue to extend the trail once funding is secured and in place. I have also asked highways to remove all debris and dead vegetation from the roundabout surfaces. This will take place over the next few weeks which will enhance the area.”
THE MURMURATION on Hull Road and Southgate roundabout has been returned fully refurbished. The murmuration forms part of the Hornsea Pottery trail in
HUG appeal for community help to create outdoor area our ambulance crew can relax in HORNSEA Ambulance Station staff are hoping to have an outdoor seating area to brighten their breaks thanks to the community and Hornsea Urban Gardeners (HUG). Martyn Eden from HUG explained: “We were approached by Robert Colombari from the station to ask for help in creating a seating area for them to have an off duty break. We’ve been down and they need wind shelter because of their position so we have measured up for fencing and trellis so it makes it private but not secluded and planting. We estimate it will cost around £300 and the management have ok’d the ideas we have. “The crew have been there for everybody. It will be nice for them to go outside and have a break in a nice area. I really think our Ambulance crews are sometimes undervalued and this is a little bit of what I think should be a Great Big thank you!” Robert added: “ HUG have also agreed to do some regular grass cutting and maintenance work on the garden long term. A retired horticultural worker has helped the HUG team with planning colour and scents throughout the year with the planting. HUG volunteer Jackie Stringer who is famous for her bench painting in the town is working on sanding and renovating the memorial bench to a past colleague and an A frame picnic bench is also being renovated to stand the test of time. Councillor June Greensmith who is Chair of HUG explained:
“Both Martyn Eden and myself have needed the assistance of the Ambulance crews recently. We have had first hand experience of what the crews are dealing with in relation to long waiting times, it’s an incredibly stressful job that they do with so much care it is unbelievable how they stay so positive and supportive when you are at your worst. “HUG is a community driven group who already support Hornsea Inshore Rescue by looking after their memorial garden and the group makes sure the grass is kept cut and tidy infront if the Coastguard Station. The street sign will be underplanted now all the building work next door and road works have finished. And, not forgetting the Hornsea Fire Station Crew. HUG added a few new plants to their front plot last year. Thank you to all HUG supporters, followers and the wonderful volunteers, without whom nothing would get done” HUG and the ambulance station are now appealing for help from the community to make the project happen. They need donations of plants ideally: Climbing rose, evergreen clematis Honeysuckle, Ceanothus, Euonymus, Pyrocantha, Lavender, Photinia, Choisya, Jasmine, Escalona, Santa line, and Heuchera but any plant donations as gardeners are looking to split would be great. They are also looking for a water butt to collect water for watering the garden. Robert Colombari from the station added: “It's something we have talked about on station for a
while but as usual we don't have much time on station and have to be clean and tidy for our next job so gardening is out of the question while in uniform. Anything people can donate or help with would all be greatly appreciated.” 1. STATION: The Ambulance station in Hornsea 2.

Aldbrough’s baby and toddler group is growing thanks to grant funding and community support ALDBROUGH’S Baby and Toddler Group takes place on a Wednesday morning from 9am – 10.30am at Aldbrough Youth Club in term time. The group launched just before Christmas when Chair of the group Sophie Dove identified there was a need. Sophie explains: “After Covid there were no groups for babies and toddlers and their parents or carers. Prior to Covid the Children’s Centre had ran a session at the school but this didn’t restart.” Having been a registered child minder for 14 years Sophie had a baby just before lockdown and this was one of the main reasons she decided to start the group. She added: “There were a lot of people who moved to the village during lockdown and I thought they must feel really isolated too not having anywhere to meet others with young children.” Hornsea and District Lions awarded the group £1200 which allowed the rent to be paid for the first year so the
group could get off the ground. A further grant from The National Lottery of £5237 allowed for the purchase of new equipment including their own soft play items. The Youth Club have given the group a storage area meaning the equipment can be safely stored without the need to move it backwards and forwards each week. The group also had tremendous support from the local residents when they started including donations of toys and other items. Cath Wood has joined Sophie as Vice Chair of the non profit playgroup and has 42 years experience working with early years. Cath added: “It’s what people need after lockdown. People in the village can walk to it, it gets everyone back together after the lockdowns and helps to prevent social isolation particularly for single parents but for anyone in charge of a young child we see lots of grandparents coming along too. We are open to everyone whether they are from
Aldbrough or elsewhere and from the caravan parks, we set out to be all inclusive. The building is also accessible for wheelchair users. There are no rules on what time people can arrive – you can’t be late! We hope we provide that peer support and reset moment in the day.” The group’s committee also consists of Caroline as Treasurer and Natalie and Kate. Attendees take part in a range of activities each week which are all designed to be fun and encourage learning through play. Each week has a theme from the Jubilee to dinosaurs. At the end of the session there is singing and story and snack time and they also celebrate any of the children’s birthdays. The cost is £2.50 per family attending. Anyone interested in attending can just turn up or for more information contact them through their Facebook page: Aldbrough’s Baby and Toddler Group

Dairy free ice cream makes little girl’s day as local ice cream van praised AN ICE Cream van in Hornsea has been praised for making a child’s dream after their mum was surprised to find the mobile van could provide her daughter with a dairy free cornet just like the other children. Louise Smith who owns the mobile traditional ice cream van in the town described herself as “made up” after the complement on social media. Louise commented: “Lots of people have allergies and I don’t want them to think they can’t come to my van and have a treat. I use Thornton’s
ice cream for both the whippy and hard scoop. They do a hard scoop that is lactose free, gluten free and vegan and the best bit is it doesn’t even taste like you’re missing out it’s very similar. Louise has even extended her range to cater for furry friends and has dog ice cream in tubs. Councillor June Greensmith who is also Chair of Hornsea Urban Gardeners (HUG) also complemented Louise and how she always looks after the HUG volunteers with drinks and ice cream.
Louise added: “They’re out there in all weathers and when it’s so hot I can’t drive past and not give them a lolly or drink!” Louise is so popular that she has purchased a second smaller ice cream van for events so her main van remains on the road. You will find Louise in her five star food hygiene rated ice cream van down most streets in Hornsea although she is not permitted to trade on the seafront, on main roads or on double yellow lines.

Family and friends raise £3000 cycling to help beat MND ON JUNE 12, Father 2 and daughter Bob and Anna Carr cycled 30 miles in honour of Bob’s wife and Anna’s mum, Sue Carr, who sadly died last year from motor neurone disease. They were joined by a group of their friends. They were hoping to raise £1000 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) to help beat this dreadful illness. Anna and Bob Carr have sent in a huge thank you to everyone who supported their 30 mile charity bike ride. Anna said: “The current total
1
raised is £3000 which is wheelie amazing!! A special little thank you to mini bikers Samuel, Alby, Betsy and
George who completed the ride in four hours.” They are now organising a charity dinner dance at
Hornsea golf club on September 24 and tickets will be available at The Townhouse on Newbegin in August.

Hornsea resident recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours HORNSEA charity stalwart Keith Twigg has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. Mr Twigg has always been very modest about the charity work that has earned him this prestigious award. Having moved to Hornsea from West Yorkshire 20 years ago Keith describes himself as becoming an: “accidental volunteer”. One day a local Rotarian on his way back from a meeting literally bumped into Mr Twigg who was walking his dog. Before the encounter ended Mr Twigg had agreed to go along to the next Hornsea Rotary Club meeting. 18 years later he remains a member having held various officer positions over that time and
1
been involved with fellow Rotarians in raising substantial amounts of money for local and global Rotary projects. One of the key fundraisers Mr Twigg has been instrumental in is the Hornsea Rotary annual Last Night of the Proms at the Floral Hall. Through his Rotary work Mr Twigg became ingrained in the Hornsea voluntary sector. He was the local Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal organiser for 10 years until he handed over the reins last year with the appeal in this time raising over £200,000. In addition he also helped raise further funds for the installation of two commemorative benches in Hornsea Memorial Gardens to mark 100 years of the Royal British Legion.
For the last 17 years he has been the chairman of the Hornsea Marie Curie fundraising group helping the small but strong team of volunteers to raise almost £140,000 for the charity. He has also been involved as a volunteer or trustee for the local foodbank, St Nicholas Church, Hornsea Youth Club and he continues to be one of the editors at the Hornsea Talking Newspaper for the blind and partially sighted. Keith is proud to have been one the steering group which helped save the Hornsea Floral Hall from closure and secured it as a community run asset. The hall continues to thrive because of the work of its hardworking volunteer
committee and staff. A huge number of voluntary hours have been invested by Mr Twigg over the last 20 years especially for someone who retired from 30 years’ service in the police for a quiet life by the coast. Talking about his award Mr
Twigg commented: “It is wonderful to receive this honour especially in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year. Although I am the recipient, I am just one of the many people who work to make Hornsea such a special town. It has a wonderful community
spirit and I am proud to be part of it. “I am especially thankful to Lynda, my darling wife. Everyone who knows her is in no doubt that this is a team effort and that I certainly couldn’t have done any of this without her.”

Hornsea Carnival taking place this month By Carnival Chairman, Iain Poole WELL, we are just a month away from the first Hornsea Carnival since 2019, and as a community and a committee we could not be more excited about it. We have some amazing acts lined up , which we hope everyone will enjoy, but we don’t stop there, we have some amazing live music , and some truly stunning hot food vendors and some truly unique crafters who are all coming to provide Hornsea and the local community with such a wide variety of choice, with various tastes from all around the world, you will all be spoilt for choice, be sure to check out the website for more information on our amazing vendors. From a rocky start which did have a lot of people wondering if Hornsea Carnival would survive, our remaining committee remained determined to put on the very best free carnival we can for the town and community which we all love so much. But we have nailed it! By sheer hard work and determination from the existing committee, and some amazing local support from local business Hornsea Carnival is full steam ahead. We are now announcing acts who will be attending Hornsea Carnival these will be released weekly via our Social media (links at the bottom) , we have released our artists for the music tent, and we are excited, we hope you will agree once you hear this amazing talent and see who they have performed with you will see that this is a major coup for Hornsea, more in our official released on social media, or look at this months advert opposite to know more. The Treasure hunt is in full swing, with some great prizes to be had for our winners, this will be drawn
live on Carnival Sunday at the Carnival HUB (This will be our Central location for Carnival) We also have our finalists for posters all completed; these will be printed over the next week and distributed around the town. As a committee we are so excited to showcase the stunning work created by the children of our area, the response was truly awe inspiring. If you would like a poster for your business be sure to email social@hornseacarnival.org.uk and we will bring one along for you. On a final note 2022 sees the start of a new era and for the first time since Hornsea Carnival inception we have selected our very first Carnival Royal family. Which is a move away from the traditional Carnival princess, with a hope to be more inclusive and make this more of a family achievement. To this end we had a great response to our first ever Carnival Royal Family, and we must be honest it has been a really hard time picking from the selection of truly worthy families. In the end and after much vigorous discussion the committee had narrowed it to two families and the committee moved into even further discussion on the merits of each family. After even more back and forth the Committee decided to that one family’s involvement with the community made them stand out that little bit further than the rest. This family has only been part of the Hornsea Community since 2017, in such a short time as a family they have become involved with numerous groups and charitable organisations, volunteering their time in addition to running a local business. This
Year Hornsea Carnival Committee are proud to declare our first Carnival Royal Family as ..The ‘ Wilsons’ Georgina, Rob, Alice & Clara – Congratulations. We love how you have integrated with the community in such a short space of time, your passion for the town and the groups you are involved with, in addition to your charity work for Breast Cancer is amazing, the committee felt you embodied what we as a committee feels our Royal Family should be with each of you giving something back to the community. We cannot wait to have you as part of Hornsea Carnival 2022. Thank you to everyone who submitted a form, you have all made it really hard for us as a committee to pick a single family as so many were truly deserving. I would also like to take a moment for Hornsea Carnival Committee and I hope the community as a whole, and publicly thank the following business for their support. ● Foxglove Homes – Mere View Meadows Hornsea (headline Sponsor for 2022) ● Hornsea Lions ● The National Lottery Community Fund ● Do it for East Yorkshire Community Grant ● Berts Café & Pizzeria ● Everquip Garage Equipment Ltd ● Robinsons the Builders Merchant Ltd ● ABG Electrical Ltd ● Allan Binks Timber Ltd ● Our House Estate Agents ● Longbeach Leisure Park Hornsea ● Woods of Hornsea

Until retirement he was also the Methodist Minister for Hornsea and still officiates around the district. At the handover of the chain of office, retiring President Graham McDonald wished President Keith “an enjoyable year”. Meetings have now fully restarted and ‘Shelter Box’ and ‘Aquabox’ charities are being supported as usual. In addition Marie Curie have been sent a donation and the Disasters Emergency Committee have been sent a contribution for aid in Ukraine.

Job interviews and mental health By Emma-Jayne Saunt Be mentally prepared for stress and anxiety Preparing for an interview is anxiety-inducing and stressful for even the most confident people. To add another layer of difficulties, searching for a job in this new uncertain environment may be more challenging than it was. Only a short while ago the job market and economy looked solid. We are now forced to confront inflation and other macro geopolitical events that will have a unmitigated impact on the job market and our businesses. Some sectors are downsizing others putting in place a four day week system. Companies are looking to remodel their businesses in preparation for the turbulent times ahead in the last business quarter of 2022. The Secret to conquering interview nerves You are not on your own, almost everyone gets nervous before interviews, the problem is when the nervousness becomes overwhelming. The following steps will help you build confidence. The key essentials are that the more you know about the company and the interviewers the better prepared you will be, match your skills to the job description then your nerves will subside. Instead of being worried, you will feel exhilarated because you are prepared. The interviewers will pick up on your positive frequency, respecting that you are so knowledgeable about the job and happy to see that you are prepared. Remain motivated and enthusiastic. What to expect in a interview It is natural to be nervous when going through the job selection/hiring process. No one enjoys being bombarded with questions by strangers then judged on everything you say. Interviewers take notice of your body language, facial expressions and what you are wearing to the interview. If the process is not nerve-wracking enough, too many companies do not give feedback
as constructive criticism can assist you in following applications and interviews. There will be long periods of an absence of communication from the company, it can make you feel lost and abandoned, but press on.

Preparation is everything If you are going in person to the interview, plan out in advance where they are located, and how long it will take to get there. Find out what is the appropriate attire to wear.

OPEN TUESDAY - SATURDAY 10am - 3pm
16 Market Place, Hornsea. HU18 1AW
Telephone: 07502 019755
I LIVE in Hornsea with my husband and our 21 year old disabled son, Joshua. He had a stroke when he was born and as a result suffered devastating brain damage. I write a daily blog called ‘Ups and Downs Mum’ about our daily lives, caring for our son. This is an extract that I wrote after a successful visit to Trains of Hornsea hair salon…… Yesterday I realised just how far both Joshua and I had come in terms of haircuts. Joshua has always had thick wavy hair and since lockdown it has turned curly like mine too. Even as a baby, he never had that fine down that most babies get, he seemed to be born with adult hair, which grew thick and fast. This became a problem as he hated having it cut; he would thrash his head from side to side trying to avoid the scissors and simply would not sit still. It used to take three adults to cut his hair: I would hold his head still, another assistant would hold his hand down to prevent him from swiping at the scissors and then the hairdresser would try her best with the wriggly, angry target. Once when he was pre-school age, we were thrown out of a barbers with half a haircut, as she cut her finger and was not prepared to continue. It was always stressful so inevitably we would put it off, but then it meant he did
not get used to it and as his hair was so long and bushy, it was much more difficult for the stylist and it took even longer to trim. For several years, he had home ‘scalpings’ with clippers, which meant he just had skinhead cuts, as my husband had no skill at styling. We would sit Joshua on a kitchen chair in the hall, where the hair was easy to sweep up on the tiles, I would hold him still as best I could and my husband would use the clippers. Joshua always objected and any passersby would think that we were murdering him, judging from the screams coming from indoors. But thankfully we were always forgiven quickly, we would all be exhausted and blotchy, but Joshua has never once born a grudge. But in more recent years, I have taken Joshua to my own hairdressers for a professional hair cut and style. She has cut my hair for 30 years so she knows her way around our thick, curly hair. We always go at the end of the day when the salon is empty and initially we would turn the music up loud and require the assistance of a junior to hold his hand, while I held his head steady. This way, she was able to give him an actual hairstyle, and not just a buzz cut all over. Gradually, we have been able to lose the handholding and loud music and these days I hover about, to
hold him still ,if necessary, but mostly he is calm and almost enjoys the experience. He certainly loves to watch the juniors and he enjoys gazing at himself in all of the mirrors that surround him. He now understands what is going on and that he is going to like the outcome too. His trademark hairstyle now is short clippers around the back but still longer, floppy and curly on the top and it really suits him. It has not been an easy journey but we have persevered, both me and my hairdresser, and I am so proud of how well Joshua has adapted. He now skips into the salon and knows where he sits. He will not tolerate a gown still, they are ripped off immediately, but that is OK, we simply put his hairy clothes into the washing machine as soon as we get home. We have been able to win him over, despite cutting his hair being a very sensory experience, and at close quarters. The secret was in keeping calm, so that he did not feed off our stress, but at times over the years, that was much easier said than done. I used to dread his appointment, it was like a black cloud hanging over the day, knowing that we were in for an ordeal at 4pm. But not anymore, we are all much more chilled about it, and I am sure that helps Joshua, who was a star recently and he has a smart haircut to prove it.

THE PANTRY UPDATE By Christine Parkinson I THOUGHT it time for an update particularly as life is seemingly returning slowly back to normal, whatever normal is. The Pantry, like all charities, are attempting to recover from the previous two years when we stayed open, gained many more families and individuals, but were unable to fundraise and donations were scarce. However, survive we did, and we have seen many no longer needing our services. Unfortunately, many people and businesses have not recovered, equally family situations change often for the worse. There is no shame in visiting The Pantry and once inside it is clearly evident that you are in a shop with very friendly assistants. I feel it is perhaps time to remind people how the pantry works. It is open at The Hornsea Parish Church Hall Wednesday and Fridays 9am – 10.30am: 1) There is no means test 2) Very discreet information may be asked 3) You receive a membership card which enables you to visit the pantry as you would any other shop. 4) Food Available: ● Breakfast – Good Selection of cereal / eggs and often bacon, bread. ● Lunch – Tins ham, tuna,

It was a great evening and a chance to see the excellent youth work
that is going on around the county. The club has kindly been donated a full size table tennis table from Mr and Mrs Pickering. We’d like to say a big thank you to them and to senior member Josh, who helped wheel the table the full length of Newbegin to get it to the club.

NCI Hornsea volunteering opportunities and events this month By Andrew Garvey THE SUMMER period should be in full swing, but the poor weather during early June has kept visitor numbers down, even though the recent jubilee celebrations and the extended bank holiday weekend came and went. As I reported a couple of months ago, our recent recruitment programme is now complete and our congratulations to the 10 new watchkeepers who have completed their training and assessment successfully. This has added to our complement of watchkeepers and has opened up our training slots for the next tranche of volunteers. The NCI provide a fully comprehensive training programme across a broad range of matters. This provides hands-on, practical training and experience covering the use of all the equipment used on a day to day basis in the station. The opportunity to undertake an “external” VHF marine radio training course is an integral part of the overall training programme package offered to new entrants. Your training programme is integrated within our watch programme. You will partnered by an experienced watchkeeper, who will act as your training mentor and will work through your training programme with you at your speed. You will receive hands on training from day one so come
along and volunteer. It is a really interesting job working with a group of friendly and committed volunteers. NCI Hornsea also has an active programme of meetings where you can meet and talk to other members of the team at our monthly meetings. The station also has a presence at many local events held in Hornsea and the surrounding villages. These provide an opportunity to meet and chat to the local community. For example, we were present at the recent Beacon lighting ceremony celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee held at the Hornsea Hub, we will be attending the Leven Festival and have plans to attend the Hornsea Car Festival in the park on July 10. Later in July, we will be celebrating our organisation’s 28th anniversary and the Hornsea station’s fourth “birthday”. This will take place on the promenade outside the station, (in front of the Marine Hotel). If you are interested in joining us you will be able to have a look around the station. We look forward to meeting you at one of these events. NCI Hornsea has a recently appointed new recruitment officer, who is only too pleased to be able to provide full background information on the charity, its roles and functions. Andrew Elliott can be contacted by leaving your contact details either by –
• dropping into the station • calling the station on 01964 530482 • e mail the station on info@ncihornsea.org.uk • on-line at nci-hornsea.org.uk. Please leave your expression of interest, request more information and Andrew will be in contact with ASAP. It is also worth mentioning that awareness of the tides, the weather in general and flood alerts is essential when visiting our beaches. This is particularly so if you are planning a walk along the beaches and around the cliffs, where you are susceptible to being cut off by high tides. Please don’t take the risk, check our 24 hour weather report screen at the station on Hornsea promenade or go to our website at https://nci-hornsea.org.uk for the latest weather updates and tide times. Finally, a very big thankyou to the Hornsea Lions for providing funding for a new pair of notice boards for the outside of the watchstation. These allow us to post important information about a host of issues including what to do if you get a weaver fish stings. These complement the electronic weather report on the screen between them.
1. THANK YOU: Hornsea Lions President, Pauline Spensley and her husband David visited the station to see the new notice boards in-situ accompanied by NCI fundraiser Susan Ferguson. 2. WATCHING: An NCI watchkeeper using the Pelorus “position identifier” at NCI Hornsea

More volunteer drivers still needed by HART By John Rodgers OVER the last couple of months, we have highlighted HART's need for more volunteer drivers for its minibuses. Now with the holiday season approaching and existing volunteers taking a well-earned break, plus community groups wanting to make bookings to go out and about, more journey requests are coming in than can be accommodated. So if you have considered becoming a volunteer driver, now would be a very good time. All you need is to enjoy driving and meeting people, have a D1 on your licence and a bit of time on your hands – whether it be one day a week, a month, or just now and then. HART staff really value the time that volunteers so generously give, and volunteers often find giving their time and any skills they can share along the way extremely rewarding. Most passengers enjoy a bit of banter with the drivers, as for
some using the HART bus is the only time they get out of the house. Drivers receive all necessary training to carry out the job, along with ongoing support. So if you want to know more, do contact the HART office on 01964 536684 for a chat. Meanwhile, HART's regular services in the Hornsea area continue: Shopper services to Beverley (twice a week) and Driffield (fortnightly) – for anyone who might struggle to
get there any other way. The return fare is £5, and to book a place call the HART office on 01964 536684 The 220 public bus service between Hornsea and Bilton Church (connecting with the 277 to/from Hull), one journey in each direction MondayFriday (not bank holidays). The single fare is £1 and the service is bookable only, by calling 01964 536684 at least 24 hours in advance. MEDiBUS 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. It serves appointments between 9am and 3.30 pm MondayThursday and 9am-1130 am on a Friday, and this time the booking number is 03456 445959.

Laughing Gull Comedy Club The next Laughing Gull Comedy Club show is on Friday 29th July. Headlining act Dave Twentyman brings his usual chatty, cheeky but charming charisma and is nowadays featured on Blackpool’s ‘Comedy Carpet’; middle act Anthony King mixes devilishly dark songs with deadpan one-liners; opener John Lebbon is a lively
raconteur and former rugby player from Cumbria; so, plenty of variety on this line-up! At the last show we asked the audience about pie and peas and increasing the ticket price. The decision has been made for us as we cannot find staff to serve the pie and peas. From July the ticket price will be £10 but will not include a pie supper.
All profit from the comedy club goes back into Hornsea Floral Hall

‘CYRANO’
A re-imagining of the timeless tale of a heart-breaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac, (played by Peter Dinklage, Tyrion Lannister from ‘Game of Thrones’), dazzles, whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of the luminous Roxanne, (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her... however, Roxanne has fallen in love at first sight, with Christian, (Kelvin Harrison, Jr). Genre: Musical drama Rating: PG 13 (Suggestive Material, Some Strong Violence, Brief Bad Language, Thematic Material) Runtime: 2hrs 3mins NB: Although ‘Cyrano’ is due to be released from cinema circulation on 30th May, on the off-chance that it isn’t, we will show an alternative film.
JULY FILM Wednesday 27th July 2022 Matinée 3.00pm/Evening performance 7.30pm [Note: Doors open 30 minutes before the film starts]
‘THE DUKE’
In 1961, Kempton Bunton, (played by Jim Broadbent), a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first, (and remains the only), theft in the Gallery's history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly… he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge. Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage. Based on the true story, enlivened by the pairing of Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren, of how and why he used the portrait of the Duke of Wellington to achieve his aims, this is a wonderfully uplifting, oldschool British caper in the Ealing Studios tradition, of a plucky Brit taking on the system. Genre: Comedy drama. Runtime: 1hr 36mins Rating: R (for adult language and brief sexuality)

DEMONSTRATION SHOWS BENEFITS OF BORA EXTRACTION HOBS YORKSHIRE Kitchen Company in Hornsea held a cookery demonstration at the end of May to show the advantages to choosing to install a Bora down draft extraction hob. As the only retailer in East Yorkshire to have a working showroom display they combined this with Showroom Manager, Kelly's chef training to prepare dishes from chicken to roast vegetables on the various hobs. This demonstrated how quickly the hobs extract the cooking steam and smells. Visitors could enjoy the freshly cooked food and find out more
about the system including seeing how quickly it was cleaned with water and a lemon, back to full shine. The Bora system is also available as a 600mm square ceramic hob priced at £1884, so it can replace one in a worktop without replacing the whole kitchen. The showroom have arranged another demonstration on Saturday, July 16 from 12noon – 2pm and in the meantime they welcome anyone to call in during their opening hours for demonstration at any time.

Village Hall hosts afternoon tea with raffle fit for the Queen 3
SEATON and Sigglesthorne Recreation Hall invited residents to an afternoon tea with entertainment from the Hornsea Ukulele group on Thursday, June 2. The event was opened by Ward Councillor Barbara Jefferson with food prepared by Rita Horsaman and served by the volunteers to residents of both villages.

The event free to everyone and was supported by Sigglesthorne Parish Council, Seaton Parish Council and the Recreation Hall to give everyone a taste of the community coming together. A raffle prize of £70 cash, for the number of years being celebrated was won by a Seaton resident. During her welcome speech Cllr Jefferson
Seaton’s Jubilee Party went ahead at a new location as the weather didn’t dampen spirits SEATON’S Jubilee Celebrations planned for the village Common on the Sunday were moved at the last minute due to the bad weather. The celebrations were held in the Seaton & Sigglesthorne Recreation Hall instead. However, the rain didn’t dampen the spirits and the hall was bursting at the seams with members of the local community, visitors, family and friends enjoying the amazing event, celebrating together to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Entertainment was provided by Puzzling Paul who entertained the adults as well as the children and everyone enjoyed a good old sing along with Don Paton. The Parish Council had also arranged a community clean up in anticipation for the event being on the common but obviously the weather had other plans!

Sigglesthorne Jubilee celebrations THE JUBILEE celebrations finally came to an end on Sunday, June 12 as the Fun Dog Show had been postponed from the previous week because of the bad weather. It was worth the wait as 16 dogs turned out to strut their stuff, but not a corgi in sight. There were over 70 entries spread across the seven classes and the results were as follows: Best Jubilee dressed dog; Karry with Tinkerbelle; Waggiest tail: Alison with Poppy; Most appealing eyes: Alan with Mac; Best behaved: Linda with Woody; Best walking to heel: Louis with Bella; Best 6 legs: Steven with Marshall; Dog the judges would most like to take home: Marlene with Rolo. Marlene also won the competition to guess how many kibbles were in the jar. A big thank you to the judges Gillian Fitzpatrick, owner of Cloverfields Kennels for many years, her daughter Helen and granddaughter Maddy and to all the competitors and their owners.

The dog show was the final event in what had been four days of fun events organised and run by a band of enthusiastic residents including some of the Parish Council. Festivities began with the unveiling of the mural outside the Primary Academy which has been covered in a separate article. This was followed on the Thursday evening with a quiz night run by Guy Salvidge in a packed school hall. Questions ranged from the Royal Family (not surprisingly) to a knowledge of the Highway Code (again not surprisingly). Thanks to everyone who donated prizes and congratulations to the winning team. This event raised funds to cover the cost of the Jubilee celebrations in the village. The following day we were encouraged to join in the Treasure Hunt which took us all round the village. I think it was intended mainly for children but many adults took
part too. Thanks go to Nicki Salvidge for all the organisation and the clues of course. Thank goodness she decided to revise her original more difficult version. All who completed were rewarded with some goodies on the Saturday which featured the main event, a party in the park, well, on the school field actually. A big thank you to Paul the caretaker who helped us all get our bearings and to all the team of volunteers who organised a wide range of activities from a cake stall to welly wanging, rounders and shove ha’penny. The draw was also made for the Grand Prize Draw and local businesses and individuals had been very generous in their support by donating almost 30 prizes. Many thanks to them. Although the final figures are not yet available, it looks as though we will have raised about £500 for local charities. The highlight of the afternoon’s entertainment was undoubtedly Leven-based rock and

Sigglesthorne school pupils and Hornsea Art Society unveil their mural dedicated to the Queen’s 70 year reign By Phil Hargreaves BACK IN 2019, before anyone had even heard of Covid, as a member of Sigglesthorne Parish Council, I came up with the idea of creating a mural which would involve a team made up of members of Hornsea Art Society (HAS) and pupils at the Primary Academy in Sigglesthorne. The school came up with a title of “The Past and the Future” and the plan was that it would decorate the new extension that was planned. However, the extension never happened and then the pandemic struck and all plans were put on the back burner. Earlier this year, as things started to get back to something like normal, the plan was resurrected and eight members of Hornsea Art Society and eight year five pupils started work on the project. We now had a target as well as the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee would provide the ideal opportunity to create our mural and dedicate it to the memory of the Queen’s reign. We had put together an image based on old photos of the village including the blacksmith’s, the church and the war memorial and photos taken in school, together with an optimistic view of a bright future, represented not just by the children but by colourful birds, butterflies and a rainbow. HAS secretary, Steve Truelove, had used his photoshop skills to create this exciting image and it was divided into thirty-two 30cm squares which Parish Council Clerk

Nicki Salvidge printed out for us. I had the pleasure of spending a marvellous day in school with the pupils who worked really hard and produced some fine work incorporating various skills and techniques: blending the acrylic paints with their fingers; scraping back with a painting knife to create the veins on a bee’s wings; using a wedge to imitate the pattern of a brick wall. We all worked on canvas boards which were then photographed and reassembled digitally before being printed onto a Dibond aluminium panel. The panel was installed on June 1 by Rob Porter of SignMax Ltd. and officially unveiled by Councillor Barbara Jefferson on the first day of the Jubilee weekend. Those present then adjourned to the St. Lawrence Church for refreshments and to view the original paintings of the mural which have been assembled for the church to retain. The HAS members who took part in the project were Mary

Local Coastguard is platinum Jubilee award winner TO CELEBRATE the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year, Hull Trains wanted to give back to the community and reward a local hero with a platinum experience. Members of the public were asked to nominate individuals in Hull or East Yorkshire who they believed were deserving of recognition for the role they play in making a difference in their local community. We received a great number of entries and after much deliberation, Hull Trains are delighted to announce that the winner is Jonathon Cliff, Deputy
Station Officer for HM Coastguard Hornsea. Jonathon was nominated for his dedication to the Coastguard Rescue Service over the last four decades and the work he continues to do to ensure the safety of the local community across the East Yorkshire and Humber areas. Jonathon said: “I am shocked, stunned, and speechless. I am genuinely humbled that someone would nominate me for such an award. What a fantastic start to my day and the extended Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Thank you all so much for this.” David Gibson, Managing Director of Hull Trains, added: “We received several great nominations, and it was amazing to see all the work our local heroes carry out within the community. It was incredibly hard to pick just one winner, but we can’t wait to welcome Jonathon on board. Jonathon’s work with the Coastguard Rescue Service over the years is truly outstanding.” “All of us at Hull Trains hope
he enjoys his well-deserved break with a getaway to London and some first-class hospitality. We cannot thank Jonathon, and all of the nominees enough, for the work they do every day.”

Jubilee marked at St Alban’s Church Withernwick WHAT A wonderful day we had when the village celebrated Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. It was lovely to have the church open and to have so many people coming through during the afternoon. Whether for drinks, to look at the display of memorabilia, to enter the Queen’s portrait artwork, just to have chat or to wet the back of the flag transfers. We still have two pieces of artwork in church without names on

them but with medals so if you think one might be yours please ring 527947 and I’ll make sure you get it back. After the festivities and the superb hog-roast we left a large flag tied across the church gate. If you know who took it down for us it could be left in the porch with the books if that’s the easiest way to return it. We really would appreciate having it back, it's one of a set.

July 2022 23
Hello again from Hornsea and District u3a By Chairman, Jane Hardman If you are a regular reader of The Community News (and I sincerely hope you are) you will have probably noticed the page headed U3A in bold letters So you have probably thought “I don’t have a clue what that’s all about “ and whizzed on to something else. But STOP, have a look and see what it is all about. It could be right up your street. The u3a started as a movement forty years ago in France. The letters stood for University of The Third Age and in France was connected closely with their local universities. Bear with me, carry on reading! When the idea was introduced in the United Kingdom the closeness to a university was not adopted. The title remained the same though, and still does but now we want to be known just as the letters u3a, with the motto “learn, laugh, live”. It is for people who are retired or semi-retired, of any age, who want to carry on learning for pleasure or to learn new skills and hobbies while having fun and making new friends. Call it the University of Life if you like. It’s run by volunteers who organize many activity groups led by members. Most of these are free to do, often in people’s homes, or involve a small fee or the price of a cup of coffee. All the members in Hornsea have an opportunity to get together at the Floral Hall on the first Tuesday of each month (apart from August) to listen to a speaker on a wide variety of topics, from butterflies to outer space, whiskey to trains planes and boats. The cost to join the organization as a whole only costs £15 for a whole year and that pays for our monthly speakers and the hire of the Floral Hall. Refreshments are thrown in for a voluntary contribution of £1. Why not come along to our next meeting on July 5th at 10am for 10.30am in the Floral Hall. Your first meeting is free to give you an opportunity to see what you think. You can see the various groups we have but if there is something you particularly enjoy and we don’t do it, start a new group yourself. Thinking of our monthly speaker, the person who came to speak to us at the beginning of June with a talk entitled Trains, Boats and Planes was Larry Malkin, our guide through various paintings he had done. Larry is fairly local and was headteacher of Easington school for twenty four years. He also has the (dubious) honour of being thrown out of the Royal Academy of Art school (he was cagey about why!), the official Wine Taster to the House of Lancaster, has written four books and produced over fifty programmes for Radio Humberside. He is a marine, landscape and wildlife artist who has exhibitions in galleries throughout the UK and USA. There will shortly be an exhibition of his work here in Hornsea in the Seagull Gallery, to be found in the Indoor Bowling Club on Atwick Road. Larry had many anecdotes that he shared with us, but he particularly shone when taking us through the techniques needed for painting accurate pictures of sailing boats and other ships, in particular some he painted of the Falklands War which is of course topical at the moment. His seascapes were spectacular and as someone who can’t draw a straight line with a ruler I found it most interesting. Some of Larry’s paintings are shown below. Our next meeting is on July 5th. You have all seen the wind farm off the Hornsea coast and have many and various opinions about it and wind farms in general: come along to the meeting and hear more about them, and the Dogger Bank wind farm in particular. It is, as they say, a hot topic at the moment. More information can be found on our website hornseau3aorg. Take a look, and furthermore, come and take a look at us in the Floral Hall in July. See you there.

SOME very proud families attended the enrolment night of eight Air Cadets at the beginning of June. The event was combined with our Platinum Jubilee celebrations to make for a very pleasant evening. Reverend Tina Minett-Stevens, our Squadron Padre, oversaw the proceedings. She presented each Cadet with a special RAF Air Cadet edition of the New Testament Bible prior to them being given their First Class Progressive Training Badge. Some Cadets were also awarded badges and certificates for
Leadership. Cadet Ayrton was promoted to the rank of Corporal to recognise his commitment to the Squadron and for ‘stepping up’ when needed. It was a particularly special moment for Cadet Milner who followed in his father and grandfather’s

IS IT just me or do other people watch the funeral plan adverts on the telly and ponder on how a middle aged/elderly chap can become so excited about the prospect of his own forthcoming funeral? Have the ad people gone off their rockers? If so it must have been a committee decision, surely one person alone would be unable to pass off such a dodgy piece of marketing. Going out on a limb here, but the thought behind spending just £3.50 a week to ensure that my family don't have to
stump up for funeral expenses doesn't spring to mind as the number one concern on a day to day basis, let alone becoming positively enamoured nay thrilled, with the prospect of my own death and the subsequent arrangements. It probably wouldn't register a second thought in my brain as it’s almost certain I won't be able to join in with the festivities anyway! Just one more thought on the appearance of mainly morning TV.

Yes one of these promotions actually say that if you make a purchase your life will turn around and you'll instantly become a better, more fulfilled person. Soz, about the rant, it could possibly mean that Liz and myself have too much time on our hands to spend so much time idly watching the box or maybe with the light mornings we just wake up too early! What a week of brilliant music I've enjoyed, Thursday night 'The Rolling Stones' show at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium with 44,500 people, then Saturday being treated to Ed Sheeran at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, with 60,000 people.

came down for the first time with Covid, so I'm unable to see the Grandchildren till it's passed over. Then I find Mick Jagger has had to bow out of two shows through contracting the virus, so at least I'm in good company and can take solace in my imaginings that Mick is missing his huge brood as much as I miss our gang. Still if all I suffer is a thick head and runny nose, it’s really not that bad. I'm pleased to notice that more and more cyclists are using the dedicated path between White Cross and Beverley. As a frequent user of this route I find it a pleasure to use, sometimes wondering why some riders choose to use the very busy A165 road when there is such an amazing facility alongside. Fortunately, not many people have had to suffer, as our family did when my brother Tim, a keen cyclist, was killed on his bike near Tickton just before the new path opened. A sobering thought indeed.
Thought for the month - Promises By Monica Chapman from Sacred Heart Catholic Church A PROMISE, simply put, is to say that one will definitely do or not do something. As with the truth it suggests honesty, accuracy and sincerity. Simply is in itself defined as: Absolutely without doubt or possibility. A promise that taught me one of the best lessons I’ve ever learned came from my father. We were waiting for a bus to Leeds in Filey during the summer of 1953. Where my inconsiderate behaviour had led him to ask me twice to stop it. With the caveat that if I did it a third time he would smack me. This threat came from a man whom had only ever shown me love and affection. So, I chanced my arm and continued the nonsense. Nothing was said, the bus arrived, we got on, sat down, dad calmly reminded me of
his words and gently smacked me. He never had to chastise me that way again, His honesty, love and affection had done the trick. Observing over many years the world we live in, with its often ambiguous “promises”. “Things go better with Coca Cola”. No, they don’t. Coca Cola provides an unnatural rush of energy making us hyperactive, less capable of concentrating and chemically imbalanced. I had a quote, attributed to Buddha, laminated and stuck to my fridge: “Do not believe anything whatsoever that anyone says, even if it is me, unless it makes absolute sense” Because it’s difficult isn’t it to come to terms with broken or false promises. Particularly when the magnitude of
them can affect the climate, world peace, the economy, relationships and consequently our mental and physical wellbeing. The promise made in genuine love from my dad, within the context I’ve described, makes absolute sense. Jesus, who loves us, promised “Peace that passeth understanding” and provided us with common sense and guidance on how to achieve that. For Example, love your neighbour as yourself. So, let’s keep it simple. Don’t make promises we can’t keep, to ourselves or to others. And before we make them, check they come from a motive grounded in honesty, accuracy and sincerity. If you can tick these boxes “Just Do It”

The Power of Music By Hidden Friends Dementia Support Group MEMBERS of Hidden Friends, the Hornsea dementia support group, enjoyed singing and dancing to some of the greatest rock and pop hits of the fifties and sixties at their meeting at Hornsea Indoor Bowls Club on 1st June. After an enjoyable buffet lunch, several new and existing members rolled back the years to their youth by correctly answering questions about more than twenty of the most iconic opening bars of hit records. Following the quiz several of the members in their seventies, eighties and nineties got up to singalong, dance and hand jive to favourites such as Geoff Beck and Hermans Hermits. Families and couples were able to enjoy spending time together, including a young baby up to great grandparents in their nineties. Everyone was a winner in the quiz as the music was so good and all were able to enjoy and take home retro sweets from the period ranging from love hearts to wagon wheels and sherbet fountains. Music clearly can play such an important part in members lives that more musical events will be included in future programmes. For more information see future dates below.

Picnic time at the Orchard HORNSEA Community Orchard received a special gift for its 10th birthday, in the form of a beautiful wooden bench and table built by Northorpe Joinery of Routh. The funds for the bench were kindly donated by the Withernwick Wind Farm Community Fund. After some favourable Spring weather, the orchard is looking particularly resplendent in its 10th year with trees and bushes radiating health and laden with fruit. It is hoped that the bench will encourage more people to come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings as well as providing somewhere for volunteers to have a break. The orchard is between the rail trail and Tesco’s and is open to anyone. It now has over 100 Northern varieties of apples (including four of the town's very own 'Hornsea Herrings'), pears, plums, damsons, cherries, a medlar and a quince, as well as 30 fruit bushes with red currants, white currants, blackcurrants, gooseberries and jostaberries. There is also an edible hedgerow of hazels, rose, elders, crab apples, hawthorns and blackthorns, a willow circle and a mini nut forest with

Hornsea put its best foot forward for the Ceilidh!
HORNSEA Ceilidh Band's first Ceilidh proved to be a huge hit at the Floral Hall. The 130 dancers enjoyed an evening of traditional dances and tunes from around the British Isles, called by Dave Ball and Angi Beckett. The band gave a great sound with a total of 20 musicians on the stage,
including violins, flutes, recorder, accordion, squeezebox, drums, guitars and a cello. Hornsea Ceilidh Band is just coming up to its first birthday in July, and its ten members were supported by ten musicians from the Peak District based Well Dressed Band, which is in its 23rd year.
Ceilidh organiser Alison Riley said: "It was a fantastic evening from the dancing to the music to the pie n pea supper, and together we raised £520 in total for the Hornsea Inshore Rescue. "I want to thank everyone who generously supplied raffle prizes and also to thank the places which
sold the dance tickets (Floral Hall, Leafy Seadragon and the HIR Boathouse Cafe). "And to say a big 'well done' to the members of Hornsea Ceilidh Band for coming together over the last year to learn the tunes. We hope you'll hear more from us in the future!"
Fundraising book raises over £2300 for refugee charity MONICA Chapman from Hornsea has recently produced a book “A pause for thought” to raise funds for the Welcome House Charity in Hull. The charity was set up in 2020 to support Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Hull and East Riding. The book combines reflective journal entries with quotes from books, photographs taken by Monica and drawings and painting done by both herself and her adult children Julian and Ruth. Monica had 1000 copies printed in March and has so far raised £2370 for the charity. They have been sold through various local supportive businesses as well as having support from friends, family and neighbours and through local churches. One of Monica’s friends from London organised a book launch event which contributed £400 to the pot in one evening. To increase the offering and by popular request Monica has had some of the artwork in the book printed onto canvas’ by Mark Elvin at Signs and Graphics on Seaton Road who also printed the books. Local artist Phil Hargreaves has let Monica have a space to display these at a recent exhibition at The Seagull Gallery at Hornsea Indoor Bowls Club. The small canvas’ are priced at £24.99 and the medium ones at £30 and note cards have also been designed by Monica and are £1. Monica was first inspired to raise money for the charity as this is the charity chosen for the year by her local church, The Sacred Heart in Hornsea. This felt like a good fit for Monica whose mother was a Polish refugee. The church is also supported in this fundraising by St John’s in Beverley, between them they are making a consistent effort to raise money for the charity. The churches raised £700 holding a recent lunch which was cooked by two of the refugees. This money will go to the charity’s hardship fund. A further summer BBQ event is also planned at The Sacred Heart Church to raise funds for the charity.

YOUR FESTIVAL NEEDS YOU! By Graeme Appleton for Hornsea Music Festival AS WE all know, the last two years or so have been difficult for so many people, and so many activities had to be put on hold. After nearly three years of waiting, the time for Hornsea Music Festival is nearly here! Running from the morning of Thursday, July 7 to the afternoon of Saturday 9, we are pleased to announce that after the unwelcome break, we are finally able to open the doors for you to hear our wonderful competitors again! As you may know, in normal times, this has been an annual music competition, running since 1964, with the aim of allowing people of all ages and levels of experience to compete and win trophies for their instrumental or vocal classes, but also to perform in public and get experience and feedback from the very experienced and very supportive adjudicators. What a range of talent we have for you once more! Instrumental soloists and duettists, from violinists and violists to pianists and percussionists, solo singers, to choirs, woodwind, ukuleles, and two orchestras! Not only a range of musicians, but a great range of music covering classical, jazz and songs from the shows to name but a few styles you will hear. Please head over to https://www.hornseamusicfestival.org.uk for more information We are very fortunate again to have two wonderful adjudicators, Stanley Roocroft MBE who is a great friend of the Festival, has over 45 years of adjudicating experience and has spent many years coming to share his experience in Hornsea. We are also very lucky to have Ione Zuiderwijk for the first time, who has vast experience of playing music, as well as teaching music to children and training music teachers. So, we have the music, the musicians, the adjudicators and with the Floral Hall and United Reformed Church, (on the corner of New Road and Cliff Road), we have the venues. We just need one more magic ingredient to complete this musical confection, and that is you! There is so much to choose from that you really will be in for a treat even better than a Jubilee pudding! Who needs to travel to Glastonbury when for £3 for a morning or afternoon session, or £5 for a whole day you can hear so many different musicians from across Yorkshire on our own doorstep, giving their all! There is nothing a performer likes more than an appreciative audience! Programmes, at £2.50, and the tickets are available on the doors of the venues, (Thursday morning at the Floral Hall and the rest of the sessions at the United Reformed Church). Please keep an eye out for posters up around town as well as programmes at the Faith & Friendship Shop in Market Place. After the national Jubilee Celebrations, let’s continue this summer of celebration, and celebrate local musicians! Your Festival needs you, so we really look forward to welcoming you from July 7-9. See you there!

Hornsea Music Society takes a summer break By Sarah Perkins FOLLOWING a short season of fundraising concerts, Hornsea Music Society is taking a break for the summer, before launching into the new season in the autumn. “It feels really good to be getting back to normal,” said the society’s Chairman, Roberta Loades. “We are grateful to all those who have contributed to our fundraising efforts, particularly the fabulous musicians who have performed. The money raised helps us to keep ticket prices as low as possible, so that we can carry on the fine tradition of live classical music concerts in the town.” The Platinum Jubilee concert by Opera 17 was a rousing end to the run and contributed to Hornsea’s celebration weekend. The audience was treated to a programme of musical theatre, opera, and lighter music for this once in a lifetime occasion. Watch out for details of the new season of concerts, including violinist Harry Kneeshaw on September 24, Graziana Presicce and Amy Butler on October 22, and the East Yorkshire Band on November 19.
By Rosie Bullard
If you would like more information about joining the Society, ring the secretary, Ruby Seager on 01964 229212. The concerts will be at the United Reformed Church on Saturdays at 7.30pm. Tickets are £10 each, and are available from The Townhouse on Newbegin in Hornsea, or from Roberta Loades on 07816 863222. Accompanied children are admitted free. The proceeds will go towards subsidising next winter’s season of concerts. SEASON FINALE: Opera 17 performed at the Platinum Jubilee concert marking the end of the society’s season
Dairy of a Hornsea girl ALEXANDRA is starting to properly enjoy her first taste of outside living, on the beach at Filey Brigg, in rock pools, on her first inflatable all singing all dancing fortress. Just as this summer fun is upon us and I have to miss out due to the aforementioned Covid outbreak! However it’s all worth it in many ways as we no longer go out in the buggy, as the preference now is to ride on Grandad’s shoulders. While doing so pulling at what remains of my hair and removing glasses just to see what Grandad looks like without them on and disposing of any headwear that might be in the way, on our frequent trips to Hall Garth Park. Even cousin William, at the tender age of just five months, has started to get in on the act with his first taste of beach life. I’ll soon have two or maybe three of them needing shoulder rides if the latest addition Gabriella gets in on the act. Back then to the subject of this column, a little girl who, it seems loves nothing more than water in every possible way, drinking it, flavoured or not, jumping in it or indeed plonking herself down in every available puddle. Goodness knows what goes through her head when after sitting in the paddling pool, she proceeds to drink out of her watering can as much of the contents as she can manage, the up side of all this malarky is that she'll develop a really good immune system! The older two girls, Imogen and Isabelle, came cycling during the summer holidays last year to Goxhill. So I tried the same with Alexandra in a seat on the back of the Pashley, good result on the way there, not so good on the return journey, with lots of tears! It’s almost time to try again with all three girls to enjoy all the facilities available, the lovely church but more importantly private play ground that the owner is very happy for us to use. Very much appreciated, thank you.
HORNSEA Chill and Chat Café has now closed. We are confident that we have succeeded in our objectives, and now, in the past few months many similar organisations have opened/reopened in Hornsea . Holidays are coming up, and our funding is coming to an end. There no longer appears to be any need for us to continue, and so we decided to close from the end of May. We wish to thank everyone for coming along and making our Tuesdays so enjoyable and hope that you will use the organisations now in situ. We shall miss everyone and hope to meet you from time to time around Hornsea, possibly in the groups that have stemmed from the Chill and Chat Café. Take Care of yourselves.

Ron Hughes helps children in Cape Verde By Stuart Kemp SINCE his retirement as a tourist operator in Hornsea specialising in the Cape Verde Islands off the western coast of Africa, Ron Hughes continues to visit the islands two or three times a year. He keeps up his relationship with children’s services on St Vincent’s Island which is historically known to the English. Ron is particularly involved here with a children’s centre (Centro de Recuperação Nutricional) in Mindelo, São Vicente run by Dra Maria Adelaide Fortes Delgado, which deals with under nourished children. The main purpose of the centre is to support parents and offer childcare, wellbeing and help to provide food whilst children referred to the centre from the local hospital are also looked after. Ron has donated to their cause
when he visited earlier this year and hopes to make a further visit later this year. Ron would be delighted to hear from anybody who would like further information on this worthwhile cause. He also praises the local hospital free community clinic who are seeking a mobile ECG machine to help with the treatment of ill children. Ron can be contacted on email rontacv@gmail.com or 07763 409186.

The Farm Yard – handmade children’s clothes made on an East Yorkshire farm By Stuart Kemp THE FARM Yard located in Benningholme near Skirlaugh makes children's clothes that are simple, easy to wear, and great to play in. They are mostly made to order and are limited in number by type of material available. Owner Sharon started The Farm Yard after always making clothes for herself, her own children and also for family and friends. She explains: “It all really started because my grandchildren used to get very muddy when they came over and it didn't always go down too well with mum when she came to collect them after work , so old fashioned overalls were required. I made dungarees from an old pair of Gramps jeans, at least we convinced him they were old and surplus to requirements and that our need was greater. “I live on a working farm with my husband John. The environment and looking after it for our future generations is very important to us.
We are very keen recyclers which combined with my passion for textiles works well. I sew for pleasure and learnt from my mother, I have no formal training as such other than one year as day release from my employers to allow me to go to college way back when, no staying power then and quit. So, though I’d try for a perfect result, there may be the odd tiny imperfection, however that said they will always be perfectly unique.” Some of her small items such as baby bibs use recycled material with all materials sourced locally and nothing bought from abroad. Sharon has recently exhibited her items at the Hornsea Parish Church Hall
monthly Saturday craft fayres. Items can be made bespoke and Sharon also carries a wide range of clothes for children from birth to aged four. She can be contacted via her facebook page ‘The Farm Yard’ or via email thefarm.yard@hotmail.com

Pugs remodelled: are we too late? by Karen Whitchurch THE PUG. Those huge, dark eyes, that squishysquashy cuddlesome body and spring-loaded piggy tail? Who doesn’t love a Pug?...well for a start, the veterinary profession. The RCVS (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) has called for an immediate ban on the breeding of pugs in their current form, and, ominously, has stated that, because of its numerous and lifelong health problems ‘A Pug can no longer be considered a typical dog.’ What on earth is going on here? How has a breed beloved of William of Orange, Empress Josephine and Queen Victoria come to this? William Hogarth’s 1745 painting ‘The painter and his pug’ depicts a deepchested, long-legged animal with a defined muzzle…a far cry from the wrinkled, pop-eyed struggling-to-breathe descendants we see today. A century of intensive ‘designer breeding’ has created a perfect breed-storm of illhealth and early death. From 2005-2017 The Kennel Club saw a fivefold increase in registrations of the breed. Pugs are delightful little dogs, sparky, playful and humorous: they are immensely popular with the general public and
The Arts Society Holderness welcome Tony Rawlins for their July meeting TONY Rawlins will give a talk for The Arts Society Holderness at the Floral Hall on Thursday, July 21 at 10.30 am.

with celebrities, being both photogenic and, unfortunately for them, ‘cute’… but what a price they pay. In brachycephalic (flat-headed) breeds, the brain is compressed and the airways compromised. The thickened neck and unnaturally flat muzzle are to blame for the typical ‘pug smile,’ which is purely down to the poor dog struggling to breathe. Excessive skin-folds encourage dermatitis, short, weak legs cause mobility problems, protruding eyes are subject to ulcers, even the funny, curly tail results from deliberate distortion of the spinal vertebrae. And worst of all, the Pug’s life-expectancy is a mere 7.7 years, compared with an average 11.2 years across all breeds. Who would wish all this on their pet? But there is hope. The International Retro Pug Club (IRPC) a collaboration between Swedish and German breeders is seeking to restore the breed to its original health and strength. And it’s going well: the interbreeding of scrupulously healthchecked pugs with Parson

THE COMPOST giveaways proved as popular as ever with East Riding residents, with drivers queuing up at events to claim their free bags. There were large turnouts at all nine giveaways held across the area by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s waste and recycling team, with a total of 5,000 bags of compost being handed out. But if anyone missed out, they don’t need to worry – more compost giveaways are to be held in September! The second round is being held as an extra thank you to residents for keeping up their good work in recycling their waste. All the compost given out is made directly from the garden and food waste that East Riding residents place in their brown bins for recycling. The giveaways were held in May at sites in Preston, Hornsea, Goole, Withernsea, Carnaby, Pocklington, Brough/Elloughton, Driffield
Compost giveaways prove as popular as ever – 5,000 bags handed out
Plastic Free Hornsea Group and friends update by Beachcomber TWO OF our group members have been on coastal holidays this month and have returned with stories to share. One went south to the Norfolk coast for a spot of water sports and walking and was impressed by one area’s approach to encouraging those out and about to sort out their rubbish correctly. The picture shows a threesection bin that has Perspex boxes atop each section displaying examples of what should be placed where. This is brilliant in its simplicity. Everyone knows that even when recycling information is printed on packaging it is not always easy to understand, so these visual cues are really helpful. We like this, and have passed the idea to ERYC! Also in Norfolk, the authorities allow the wild flora to flourish unhindered for two reasons: firstly, the plants hold the sand or soil together and stabilise the dunes and verges and, secondly, some creature species depend on these wild plants for their survival. The picture shows two typical plant species of the coastline in that area: Sea Holly (Eryngium Maritimum) which develops

blue/purple thistle-like flower heads and Sea Spurge (Euphorbia Paralias). The authority’s laissez-faire policy on rough, wild plants imparts a characteristic, recognisable and unfussy look to this coast. Our other group member went north to the coastal town of Seaham in County Durham in search of the famous sea glass. Two beach cleans, taking a whole day, were done while there removing over 10.5kg of rubbish from two beaches and attracting the curiosity of a number of locals! In the past, there used to be a glass factory nearby, and the waste glass was dumped into the sea. Decades of tides have resulted in some interesting and often brightly coloured pieces to be there for the taking - if you look hard enough! These beaches are also a driftwood hunter’s heaven. The PFH Eco Hub (Beach hut number 5 outside the Marine Hotel) goes from strength to strength attracting people of all ages and from all walks of life to join in with the litter picking! Don’t forget that if you would like a group event (corporate, educational or just friends) outside of

CLiPS - Community and Litter Picking Services We can take a little breather now. In the run up to the Jubilee long weekend there was much to do in making sure all our work was up to date. Our long section of the Rail Trail had the borders on both sides strimmed not once, but twice (we now have 3 battery packs for our strimmer!) and a number of protruding branches cut back for safety. We widened the borders at the start of Covid to provide somewhere for Trail users to step aside and feel comfortable about using this path for their walk. Unfortunately, the problem of a few dog owners who regularly

Organised by the council’s waste and recycling officers, the events were a real team effort, with staff from that team, plus from the refuse, street cleaning, and grounds and forestry teams all mucking in. Councillor Chris Matthews, the council’s portfolio holder for environment and climate change, said: “The waste and recycling team has been running the compost giveaways for a number of years and they are always very popular. “It’s great that we can give even more back to the community by holding a second round in September. “East Riding residents are some of the country’s top recyclers and it’s all thanks to them for continuing to recycle.” Residents are urged to take extra care this summer when using brown bins to recycle their food and garden waste.

The ERYC mowers were out ahead of the Jubilee and cut the Tranmere Park/Wilton Road green, so we popped along and tidied all the edges and the areas that the mowers can’t access. It all looked splendid. Meanwhile, the top of the Viaduct bridge had a further freshening coat of white paint, but the pigeons have redecorated already! The gardens around the Viaduct, rough and haphazard as they are, are beginning to establish and attract the pollinators as intended. The steps beside the bridge that descend from the Trail to the path below have had a fresh application of compacted loose stone. This work was carried out by L and K Warcup Construction Ltd, ERYC’s approved contractor, as part of the annual maintenance at the behest of Councillor Barbara Jefferson. Along with other voluntary groups in Hornsea, CLiPS had a busy Jubilee weekend. We were delighted to provide litter picking cover on all 5 days (and some late evenings), Thursday - Monday inclusive, on the seafront, in Hall Garth Park, the town centre and other roads. We would like to thank all those attending for providing so little litter! All the bins were well used - it was largely the

Brown bins can be used to recycle grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, small branches, leaves, flowers and weeds, all cooked and uncooked food, peelings, plate scrapings, bones, bread, meat, eggshells and small amounts of soups, sauces and gravies – all of it gets collected and then transformed into compost. Residents are urged to look at the council’s website and social media, or local press, for the announcement of September’s events nearer the time.

Alberta Canada – Part 7 An RAF Ghost Story by David Everard Fitz had that photograph on his billet bedside table. “I believe he then sent it to his girl in Hull, he did, didn't he?" He asked the others. They all agreed. "I remember him wrapping it one weekend: one of the ground crew posted it for him. Did you get it from her?" His eyes returned to the photograph. I explained that the little girl's family had given it to me and that it had been mysteriously posted through their letterbox and believed whoever posted must have lived nearby. Then I told them about the girls family who had felt so strongly about the forgotten memorial that they had not only organised a Church ceremony in their honour but had also contacted most of their relatives in Canada a few months before to inform them of the service. They hoped the relatives would come, which some did. Relatives of each of them except for Fitz's family who could not be traced - visited the newly sited memorial after the service. For some reason none of the airmen recalled My heart sank at the idea that they could only seeing them, which to this day I still can't understand.

This is chapter two which is split into two. Although the story is fictitious a large percentage is based on fact including the area, dates and times of where the aircraft and crew were stationed. The destination of their mission, the crash site, statistics of the raid on Leipzig are also true and can be seen and verified at The Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington near York. Names, nationalities and aircraft numbers have been changed to protect those who feel they may need it.

HORNSEA PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB update By Glenn Malkin
1
IT WAS a happy coincidence that the June meeting of Hornsea Photographic club fell on the same day as the Royal Jubilee Celebrations began, so it was the perfect opportunity to go down to the seafront and see what photo opportunities presented themselves. We met by the Inshore Rescue compound and walked along the road towards the Hornsea Hub. It was great to see some new faces joining us along with a range of digital cameras and mobile phones these days it really doesn’t matter what kind of camera you may have, the quality is generally so good that you can get some really great photographs. The hard bit is spotting the opportunities for a good image in the first place! 2 As the celebrations were building around the Hornsea Hub, the crowds were slowly growing and it afforded ample opportunity for people spotting and practicing doing some street photography, capturing informal portraits and interesting characters. There was also a small fair which, amongst other things, gave the chance to capture some movement shots as the rides spun and twisted in front of us. A slightly longer shutter speed would create a blurred motion shot, or by panning the camera as the waltzer car sped past you, you hope to get a clear shot of the passengers whilst the background should blur instead. As the evening got darker and the fairground lights shone, added lighting effects were also introduced for 3 more dynamic images. Later on, there was an opportunity to take images of the lighting of the Jubilee beacon. It’s a tough one to photograph, not least because the evening was getting dark by then so a nice image of the flames meant the surrounding large crowds or background scenery was generally very dark, finding the right camera settings was an interesting challenge. Finding an interesting composition was also something to explore and I for one found quite tough. The finale of the evening was of course the spectacular Jubilee fireworks display. Capturing these effectively meant a little forethought and preparation 7 was needed. The main problem is not knowing exactly when or where the fireworks would explode, so one solution is to set up the camera on a tripod and take a relatively long exposure of a few seconds, aim roughly in the right direction and hope for the best. Those with manual settings on their cameras manually set the focus to infinity, close down the aperture a bit (as we don’t want too much background light bleaching out the image), and press the shutter with a remote control to avoid the camera shaking at the beginning of the shot. Settings can then be adjusted a little as required if the image is too bright or not pointing in exactly the right direction. A wide-angle lens is also used if possible, not just because the fireworks cover quite a large area in the sky, but you are more likely to capture all the action than with a longer lens. It turned out to be an interesting, challenging and, I hope, enjoyable evening of photography for our members and several images were quickly shared on the Hornsea Photography Club Facebook page – take a look and see what you think of our efforts! There were several uploads to our Facebook challenge 'Mono' and the June Hornsea Photography Club header photograph for the month was submitted by Gavin Prest. Photo journalism, sharing a story in pictures, is a challenging topic. June and July are busy months in Hornsea with the Carnival weekend offering opportunities to record aspects of the events taking place. As a Club we have been asked to record the weekend's events and possibly have an exhibition to share the events with the community. We will be considering how we can do this effectively at our meeting on July 7. With the Facebook challenge for July 'cool cars and motorcycles - Cool looking vehicles moving or stationary' considering what type of images will give this message everyone should have some plans and ideas in mind for some excellent photojournalism shots. Tip of the month …. Lightroom Classic: a hidden feature that you may not know about - 'Enhance' - is an AI enhancement that doubles the resolution of an image.

Hornsea District Walking Club - Walks report Compiled by Arnold Underwood with contributions from Sue Copeland, Betty Lusby, and David Holtby Sunday Walks On Sunday, May 8 there were just six Club members on a wonderful, varied nine mile walk from Nunnington, led by Sue Copeland. On a sunny and warm day they set off from the layby adjacent to Nunnington Hall, a National Trust property on the banks of the River Rye. They walked through the charming village until reaching a path through pastures shadowing the River Rye. There had been previous sightings of kingfishers flying along this stretch but none were spotted today. After turning away from the river they took a drink stop at Plump Wood then followed field paths down to cross the B1257 road into the village of Stonegrave. Here they visited Holy Trinity Church, better known as Stonegrave Minster, which has origins as far back as the mid-8th century and has a beautiful carved Celtic cross embedded within the church wall. On leaving the church the walkers crossed the road and started the ascent to Caulkleys Bank with a bird's eye view of the village. The domed ridge of Caulkeys Bank provided wide views across the Vale of Pickering to the North Yorkshire Moors, and south to the Howardian Hills and Yorkshire Wolds. It made a great place for a lunch stop. Caulkleys Lane descended to West Ness, then the road to East Ness where they followed the path in front of Ness Hall, crossing parkland full of beautiful old trees to re-join the banks of the River Rye. This river path passes the splendid old mill at Mill Farm with adjacent weir before returning to Nunnington with fine views of the Hall and gardens. The walkers then enjoyed tea and cake in the delightful courtyard at Nunnington Studios before exploring more of the quaint village. May 15 and another lovely walk on North York Moors. Participants were Sylvia, Joyce, Betty, Sue, Dawn, Paul, Alan, and walk leader Graham. This was one the Club's longer walks, which are Graham's speciality, and would be about 12 miles in length. Setting off from the 'viewpoint' car park near the Goathland turn, their route followed the Lyke Wake path from Eller Beck Bridge, past the 'Pyramid' at RAF Fylingdales, towards the Lilla Cross - one of many stone crosses dotted across the Moors. Heading north across Seaton High Moor, negotiating a few boggy areas, they reached York Cross on the Whinstone Ridge. This volcanic extrusion follows a dead straight line for miles across the moors, and has been quarried extensively over the centuries for its rock and minerals. The walkers followed this ridge north-west, crossing the A169, to the quarries which form a man-made gorge high above Goathland. From up here it was all downhill crossing Eller Beck, near Darnholm, by the footbridge under the railway bridge. From Goathland they headed towards Moorgates then back up parallel with the road to their cars, to complete a fascinating and enjoyable walk. May 22 and with lots of people on holiday or on the sick list, there were only four setting out for the 'bluebell' walk from Watton. However the four included a new prospective member, Karen from Beverley. Their route more or less followed Julie’s walk of last year towards Kilnwick then on to Lund where they stopped for lunch in the churchyard. So far there had been one incident when they had to walk through a field of young cattle. They were mostly sitting down at first but then they began to follow, nudging the walkers along, literally! The cattle decided to head off the walkers at the gate, so blocking the exit. After persuading the cattle to 'moo-ve' it was found impossible to open the gate anyway, so necessitating climbing over. The cattle seemed somewhat disappointed at being left behind, but as they all had Wagyu printed on their earrings, they may be encountered again in the not too distant future - inside a burger bun! The return walk from Lund did go through the bluebell wood but unfortunately all the bluebells had gone over - the walk was about three weeks too late this year! However all enjoyed the walk through the gentle countryside and Karen decided to become a member of the Walking Club. We look forward to welcoming her on walks in the future. On Sunday, May 29 nine met at Leavening Brow picnic site car park for a nine mile walk - Sylvia (leader), Betty, Sue, David, Margaret, Carron, Christine, Steve and Andrea. At 10am they headed off towards Birdsall in a mix of light showers and sunshine. The rhododendrons of various colours were a beautiful sight to see at Birdsall House which is currently a wedding venue and perfect for wedding photos with the remains of the old church arches in the grounds of
the house. While sheltering under the trees near Birdsall church for their elevenses, a tractor run appeared down Toftings Lane which was perfect timing. Feeling like royalty ahead of the Jubilee weekend, they waved to all the tractor drivers who waved back as they turned the corner into Birdsall. Excitement over the group continued across fields towards Burythorpe passing numerous cows with calves, donkeys and mules, and a horse stud farm. After stopping to eat lunch in Burythorpe they passed the little church then walked along Penhowe lane to Primrose Hill. Next came quite a challenge - tackling the edge of a five foot high rapeseed crop! After passing through Leavening village, the walk ended back at the picnic site at the top of the hill. The Sunday Nine had completed their walk with dark clouds looming. A very pleasant day even though there were a few showers en route. On the drive home most diverted into Thixendale for tea and cake at the village hall.

The picturesque village of Robin Hood's Bay gets very busy in summer, so on June 12 the walk led by David Holtby started from Sledgates carpark, just off the A171, overlooking the Bay. On a bright sunny day with a light breeze the six walkers set off down past Fyling Hall and along the lane to the restored water mill at Ramsdale. There were great views across the bay towards Ravenscar. After a coffee stop at Springhill farm they headed for Thorney Brow then Howdale and skirted round the flank of Stoupe Brow. Time now for a lunch stop at Browside farm. From there it was downhill to Boggle Hole and along the clifftop path to a bustling Robin Hood's Bay. Near to the Bay Hotel they stopped for a short break and were entertained by a group of Morris Dancers performing for the crowd. After watching the dancers it was now all uphill from just about sea level to over 700ft back to their cars! It had been a great nine mile walk with good weather and fabulous views.
Summer Evening Walks May 18 from Arnold via Long Riston and Rise with eight walkers led by Sylvia Caygill, rounded off with drinks at the Bay Horse. May 25 from Leven led by Betty Lusby. There were twelve on this four and a half mile walk which took in Leven Canal, Heigholme Lane and Star Carr Lane before returning via field paths to East Street and back to the New Inn, Leven for drinks. June 1 from North Frodingham via Foston-on-the-Wolds; seven walkers led by Sue Copeland. June 8 from Hutton Cranswick led by Sylvia Caygill. June 15 from Harpham via Lowthorpe with twelve participants led by Arnold Underwood who introduced this walk as 'a Magical History Tour'. Harpham has a long history going back to the days of St John of Beverley who may have been born in the village. John was educated at Whitby Abbey and went on to become Bishop of Hexham and then Bishop of York in 705AD. On the edge of the Harpham there is a well, its waters are said to have 'healing properties', and is dedicated to St John. A Procession from the Church followed by Welldressing Ceremony is held on 7th May each year, the date of St John's death in 721AD. His tomb is in Beverley Minster where, as Bishop of York, he founded a Christian Fellowship shortly before his death. The walk also visited Lowthorpe Church, which incorporates part of a ruined monastery and contains some very ancient tombs and the remains of a Celtic cross. The group made their way back to Harpham past the site of the former Manor in the grounds of which is the Drummer's Well. The land around Harpham was gifted to the St Quintin family by William the Conqueror and they resided there until the 17th Century when the family relocated to Scampston Hall. Local legends give different versions of how a drummer boy fell into the well and drowned. Apparently, hearing the drum heralds the imminent death of a member of the St Quintin family! For the walkers it was 'all's well that ends well' with drinks in the St Quintin Arms.
Other walks by Club Members: On May 29, Arnold and Caroline did a seven and a half mile circular walk around Castle Howard from Coneysthorpe going

On the bank Tansterne Fishery By Ron Bulless
By Jo Gadie ON Saturday May 29 some of the Hornsea Peloton cycling club decided to support the annual Sundown60 sportive. This is 60 miles with 3000ft of climbing starting from the Woldtop Brewery, through the beautiful Wolds and back to the Brewery bar for a pint or two! Myself (Jo Gadie) and Roger Storry also decided to ride there and back totalling 104 miles with a whopping 4400ft of climbing. This was for our pal Jacqueline Ann (Team Jaks) who is in palliative care for cancer, those who know Jackie will know. If you could please donate to: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk. org/team/team-jaks this would be very much appreciated.

I HAVE to start by saying what a crazy month weather wise - with highs of 29c and lows of 10c during the days, the fish looked to spawn late May, early June but with swings in temperature that has happened over three occasions. Why is this important you may ask – the reason is that when fish spawn they release millions of eggs into the fishery and the fish dine out on these and follow it up several days later when the fry hatch. The result is they don't want artificial baits such as pellet, meat or corn. A clear example of this would be in early June we had a match and eighth place had over 100lb, the following week after spawning the winner had 86lb. This annual event may still have some fish left over to do their business but all fisheries in the area will see a return to normality in the coming weeks with exceptional weights in the nets. On the 19th we were back at 120lb for the winner, and I expect to see this continue to climb until late September, early October when as the air temperatures drop and the air pressure falls, the fish will back off once again. At Tansterne we have kept our prices the same for another year as we fully understand how expensive the cost of living is for everyone and life's small pleasures such as a day’s fishing for just £8 is welcome respite. There have been a couple of lessons since the last report. One was tricky as it was after one of the spawning sessions. I changed tactics and went for the bream that tend to spawn earlier than the carp and this paid off with 30-40lb of bream and just a few carp but an excellent day for a junior to learn some of the basics and catch some quality fish. In a lot of the lessons, we use banded pellet as the person having the lesson can strike at a bite without the bait coming off the hook as it is secured by a small band. This method also gets better results as all of the hook is showing for the fish to take. However, you need also to have non banded as you may wish to switch to maggot or soft pellet, and you don't want the band masking the hook. So, to the present and what should we be looking for. We often get asked what is the best peg to fish and there is no correct answer but again the summer fishes different to the winter and pegs that offer shallow options or
features are better than just open water. The shallow water next to bridges and the islands will warm quicker than deeper colder water and all sorts of bugs and insects will fall into the pond from these pegs which will be patrolled by the fish. In the summer there is colour in the water as the fish are grubbing about for the baits and this clouds the water, this applies to the edges. But in the winter with less movement the colour drops out and the water is clear around the margins and if you can see the fish, they can see you. One thing we do see a lot of is larger baits in the summer months, but this is not necessary as long as you fish the right baits and a 6m pellet is big enough to catch a 20lb carp and 6m - 8m meat is more than adequate but we see square inch chunks on a size 12 and very few fish caught. As always - speak to the owner / bailiff and ask what is working because from week to week it will change and as an example only a few weeks ago I gave a lesson on dead reds over dead reds and the two juniors had 86lb 4oz in three hours 20 mins and the six hour match was won with only 88lb. A few things to remember for the benefit of the fish - never fish bigger than a size 12 hook, only use barbless hooks and comply with the bait rules to ensure the quality of the water. As a reminder to all those out there who want to try their hand at match fishing but not on a serious level, we have knock-ups on a Friday - draw 12.30pm and fish 1.30pm 6.30pm and then we have the Sunday knock-up draw 8.30am but fish 9.30am – 4pm. It is £17 to enter which is £10 pools and reduced peg fee of £7. The pools fund is shared out depending on the number of anglers but normally pays the first three or four weights in each match. In summary there is something for everyone in fishing - experienced anglers can test themselves against other competent anglers, those wanting up to 12 hours of sport for very little outlay, then my favourite the family who come with mum and dad or grandparents and see the youngsters catching their first fish or a personal best. When they catch a 3lb carp it is a monster to them and something to tell the friends back at school. Tight lines everyone Ron Bulless

Hornsea Cricket Club update Cricket is in full swing and after the second full month of activity the 1st team are joint leaders of their division with the 2nd team hovering just above mid-table in theirs, both sides giving valuable experience to younger players. We have many exciting developments for the Hornsea Junior Cricket programme too with All Stars, Dynamos and Competitive fixtures running alongside weekly coaching sessions - see below details. All supporters, new or more established are welcome at the Hollis Recreation Ground for Cricket and refreshments. Saturday 28th May Newport 123 v Hornsea 1st x1 124-6 (10 points) Despite the best efforts of the locals’ groundstaff the thickly grassed outfield caused difficulties for both fielders and batsmen alike with constant bobbling and little value for playing the ball on the floor. The hosts got off to a terrific start J Cracknell scoring 18 before being the first of Taylor Wallace’s victims 2-33. Captain A Mitchell showing the way to play to the conditions with a rapid 42 including 6 x 6s– at this point Newport were well placed on 88-2 off only 16 overs. Doug Griebenouw also took 2-33 but it was his spin partner Kieran Gibson who completely shut down the scoring with a miserly twelve over spell of 3-12, not conceding a single boundary – no mean achievement, probably a match winning one. Back into the attack came Rich Medforth to polish off the tail, finishing with 3-34. The second half showed how difficult batting had become. Opener Jon Fisher misjudged the amount of roll on the ball to be run out, a ZZ Top clone appeared to mesmerise
Doug into playing no shot to a vicious inswinger and a couple of injudicious shots left the visitors in heaps of trouble, made worse when Nick Moulds was dismissed for 24, leaving Hornsea 53-5. A match winning partnership was required desperately and two experienced men stepped up, Rich Medforth and Dan Dales combining for 52 vital runs before the latter was bowled for 18. Taylor offered support across the winning line in an unbroken stand of 19, with the finisher Medforth 42 not out. Hornsea 2nd x1 239-7 (10 points) v Gilberdyke 120 Hornsea highlights – J Vickerton 41, M Brightmore 118, W Ineson 32 & 4-46, K Greenwood 4-45 Saturday 4th June Hornsea 1st x1 248-9 (2 points) v Hull Zingari 249-7 Back on home soil against a team second in the table suggested a difficult fixture and so it proved.
Edmondson with 15 showed composure at the top of the Zingari order to add 48 with the vastly experienced Martin Watkin 86. The latter alongside Laurence Wilkinson 74 took the visitors to 152-1 from where they were always favourites to win. Hornsea stuck at it with Taylor 2-32 and Rich Medforth 2-47 taking wickets but a number of fielding lapses proved crucial as the visitors got over the winning line. Unfortunately a back spasm ruled Doug out of bowling which may have been crucial, I’ve found that a layer of body fat is beneficial at reducing these types of injuries. A missed opportunity, but an excellent game, played in fine spirit – cricket’s the winner apparently Bransholme & Kingswood 98 v Hornsea 2nd x1 99-5 (10 points) Hornsea highlights – W Ineson 3-21, R Hornby 35 Saturday 11th June Cottingham 120 v Hornsea 1st x1 231(10 points) Under the temporary leadership of
By Secretary, Ian Bottom
Mark Battye, Hornsea scored well with Nick Moulds again to the fore. His composed 54 combined with a hard hitting cameo of 33 from Doug Griebenouw and a serene 59 from Richard Medforth ensured a fine total that was always going to be too many for the team propping up the table. So it proved, after an excellent tea, when Rich Medforth 2-17 and Joe Butterworth 6-41 reduced the home side to 67-8. A fine 9th wicket partnership followed as the intensity dropped but the final wicket enabled the team to finish early and return to the Hollis, kitted out for the Hawaiian themed evening. Thanks to the organisers of that event, but there’s never an appropriate time to dress as a flamingo. Hornsea 2nd x1 171-6 (10 points) v Brandesburton 169 Hornsea highlights – W Ineson 4-28, J Whitehouse 4-29, R Hornby 78* D Dales 39 Saturday 18th June Hornsea 1st x1 160-2 (10 points) v Patrington 159
Visitors Patrington had no hesitation in batting first and were off to a flyer through Jed Foster’s rapid 37. Joe Butterworth’s two wickets halted progress slightly but Ben Butler with 52 and Jamie McKinley 26 had them well placed at 133-3 with 18 overs remaining, looking to score another 100+. It didn’t turn out that way as Taylor Wallace, another greatly improved youngster, turned the course of the innings with 4-20 as he in tandem with Doug Griebenouw 4-52 swept aside the lower order. Defending this below-par score Glen Ratcliffe took an early wicket before Nick Moulds 24 and Doug Griebenouw 21 saw off any potential early jitters. Doug suffered a bruise and hobbled off hurt but that left it to Laurence Smith and Rich Medforth to see the hosts to a comfortable victory. Laurence playing his finest innings for the club with a stylish 64* and Rich doing what he does, getting us over the line, 34* Dalton Holme 117-4 v Hornsea 2nd x1 114 (0 points)
For the second time this season Jon Fisher’s body showed physical fragility, this time in the form of a torn calf muscle in the first over, before he hobbled to 20 runs. There followed the best partnership of the season between the reliable Nick Moulds 57 and Doug Griebenouw, the latter’s 106 being an outstanding innings. Sadly his dismissal brought on a collapse from 186-1 with 15 overs remaining to 248, only Taylor Wallace 17* making a contribution down the order A fine total but it was more a case of “what if” as 270+ was achievable and would probably have put the target beyond Zingari’s reach, as it was the game was in the melting pot.

HORNSEA HARRIERS UPDATE WUTHERING HEIGHTS 2022 By Clair Williamson Staying overnight in the very picturesque village of Haworth gave us a good base and preparation for this favourite run of ours. Due to jubilee celebrations the run organisers were unable to use the school room booked for this event, so we all met in the car park, with their registration, tracking and more importantly cake and beer station under gazebos as heavy weather was forecast. Mark and Pete set off at 9.30am, Pete wanting a good finish sped off up the first incline which is literally as soon as the countdown heralded the start. The multi terrain route takes just over five miles covering challenging paths, tracks and stones taking you towards the Bronte waterfall. Sheep and lambs where in abundance as where dog walkers who stepped to the side to let us runners pass. Great organisation by the grim up north team, always motivating us and bringing in some wonderful routes. Luckily my lap was only one, and I was pleased with my time 56.31. Peter Cork completed the marathon and was the first male with a great time of 3.59.50, Mark Williamson 5.09.05 and Liz Hardy Cork first lady in the 20 miler another great result of 3.55.35. Bottle of beer, cake, medal and chocolate for the participants makes for a great day. Although the heavy weather was forecast we were lucky that it only affected Mark on his last lap. However if he hadn't had stopped and chatted to anyone and everyone who wanted to know what us crazy lot where doing then I for one would have been a lot drier and warmer as I waited for him to come in. The next grim up north event is just up the road at Sewerby for the 'Sewerby Ship Inn Shuffle' on July 3.

HARDMOORS 110 By Mark Williamsons I was joined by Anna Jebson on the Hardmoors 110, which is exactly what it was. On the moors, hard and 110 miles. To even attempt this we would need a crew, so up stepped the Hornsea Harriers. With a race start of 8am on Saturday, June 4 at Filey Brigg the start of the Cleveland Way. Neil and son Fraser our first crew members chauffeured us to the race start and off we went. We had until 8pm on Sunday to finish, just 36 hours! The first part is alongside the coastal paths sweeping through beautiful towns like Scarborough, Whitby and picturesque Staithes. The crew where spot on in meeting us at pre arranged points along the route to keep us fed and watered, also turning out to support was Anna’s husband and two boys to boost morale. From Saltburn by the sea we started our journey inland and head towards Guisborough woods with Roseberry Topping in our sights. At this time head torches were needed as daylight was decreasing. At Gribdale, we could see our support crew as they had dressed the van with twinkling lights to guide us to their pitch which was nicely set up courtesy of Wendy’s picnic basket of tricks, here Martin joined us for a few miles for moral support. (Little did he know his few miles turned into almost 50 as he stayed with us till the very end keeping our spirits up with ‘jokes,’ and a random game guess who of animals....don’t even ask,! As we were running through the night we were met with hot drinks food and lots of encouragement from the crew to keep us going. It was now Sunday and one of the final stops was at Sutton Bank and from there we went towards White Horse which was proving tricky with tired
2
3
legs and temperatures slowly rising. We kept on tootling all the way and managed to run the majority of the last mile into Helmsley’s checkpoint to finish all together in a respectable time of 33 hours and 55 minutes. With a total accent of four miles over the course and a couple of wrong turns we clocked 111.5 miles. So pleased to finish, but if it wasn’t for our crew staying up for over 30 hours, making tea and being exactly where we needed them it wouldn’t have been possible. Anna and myself get the medals, but the glory really goes to our crew, the marshalls and Hardmoors team! SLEDMERE SUNSET TRAIL By Evelyn Bowes Friday, June 10 saw Carol Williams and myself take on the first Sledmere Sunset Trail 10K organised by Driffield Striders, since before the lockdown, take place. The race is off road taking in two different laps on tracks, fields and woodland paths. There are some challenging climbs and descents, it's a tough one but worth it for the beautiful views. The race finishes at the front of Sledmere House giving a stunning backdrop for the many photo opportunities. Carol Williams time was 1:02:07 Evelyn Bowes time was 1:08:50 HULL 10K Sunday June 12 saw Harriers Lucy Thompson, Steve Thompson, Rowan Egginton and Paul Palframan take on the Hull 10k with all four coming in with fantastic times. Lucy 49:08, Rowan 50:13, Paul PB 50:48 and Steve 58:08 HULL HALF MARATHON Robert Field and Matt Robinson smashed it at the Hull half marathon. Interesting new course and a bit warm/windy but a great race for all involved. Half Marathon PBs - Robert 1:31:08 and Matt 1:53:44
email: editor@hornseacommunitynews.uk HARDMOORS EVENT By Clair Williamson Martin Middleton Frankton and Clair Williamson introduced fellow Hornsea Harrier Zoe Topham to the joys of trail running courtesy of the very popular Hardmoors events (although should be named Hard Miles as each one is.) The three set off from the visitors centre at Sutton Bank at 10am facing a route of around 16.5 miles. Even though these 'marathon,' events are advertised as such, it is common knowledge that Mr Jon Steele and his wife Shirley have somehow managed to sneak in extra mileage to this series...Armed with this knowledge when you set off you do know you’re going to get your monies worth with the amazing views as well as extra distance. We started off really well, a respectable pace of 10.40 for the first mile and 9 for the second. A fair few stops which where marshalled by hardmoors volunteers.. Known as Hardshells, which offered Haribos, peanuts biscuits, water, cola and at one stop even lush sausages. They support you very well with their encouragement and cheeky banter. Martin being the gentleman he is ran slightly ahead and opened the various gates for us... Which is a blessing as some of these look like they would appear in the Krypton Factor challenge. The route took us alongside The Rievaulx Abbey, which is situated outside Helmsley, North Yorkshire. The wind picked up as we climbed towards Cold Kirby, but we knew we where just over a couple of miles to the finish, so all was well. The finish took us back up towards the start with a slight incline, whereby the some of the full marathoners, passed us, their speed still strong. All in all a great day out and great time of 3.42.22. It's not so much the running, it’s the people, the views, and the encouragement.

Hainsworth Park Golf Club update – Captain’s weekend THANK YOU so much for your incredible support over my Captain’s Weekend, I hope those of you that were able to be involved enjoyed your golf and the hospitality. I had an amazing time hosting the halfway house on each day and really enjoyed the chat and banter that is part of being a member at ‘Yorkshire’s Friendliest’! Despite my best efforts I managed not to set fire to the marquee, halfway house or Trefor’s van on Saturday when on the BBQ but I did have a couple of good attempts, fortunately no harm came apart from a couple of singed eyebrows! It was great to see so many members from across all sections of the club participating and I was delighted that we were able to include the Juniors on Saturday afternoon. Paul has done some brilliant work developing a group of
1
youngsters and we now have many with active handicaps allowing the opportunity to play for the Junior Trophies that have not been played for in many years. So for the first time since 2014 the Peter Whymant Challenge Cup was the prize awaiting the winner of the competition. Well done to Harry M who won with an incredible score of 29 points for 9 holes (yes that’s 11 under par) and to Harry A who came second with 27 points, also a great score! They all played really well and were all winners just by taking part, I’m already looking forward to the next Junior Competition and will be watching progress with interest! We were also able to play a Ladies Competition on Friday, the Emma Elvidge Rosebowl, that has also been missing from the calendar in recent years and it was great that Emma was able to present the
2
trophy to the winner Tina. I hope those of you that attended the social event on Saturday enjoyed it and it was pleasing to see the winners of all the events at the presentation on Sunday. Well done to Dean and Eddie who won the Betterball Medal and to Ken, Dave, Sheila and Tina who won the Cha, Cha, Cha Mixed Competition. I am so grateful for the support of so many that helped make the weekend a success. On the hospitality side my helpers, Rosalinde, Mel, Helen, Tina, Anita and Janice were amazing on each day, I was most grateful for the donations of cakes from the Ladies and I am indebted to member Steve Taylor of SGT Construction for his support of the Halfway House over all three days. On the golf side Curtis and the Pro Shop Team along with Andy for making each event organised and able to go smoothly, and to Rob and the green staff for the amazing course set up. Thank you to Helen and Stewart, our amazing owners, for the use of the facilities and support throughout the week in many different ways along with their catering and bar team. To Janice and the ‘fundraising team’ for the amazing job selling raffle tickets and help with the putting competition and to the members who donated
raffle prizes. Special mentions to Vice Captain Roger and Lady Captain Anita for being involved every step of the way and my wonderful wife Tina who organised the food, prizes and me throughout the week!
The big winner though was the Captain’s Charity, your generosity was absolutely amazing and we raised the following amounts for Mires Beck: Halfway House donations £333.10 Raffle £417 Putting Competition £120 Total amount £870.10 Absolutely amazing and very much appreciated! In support of the charity a tree (yes another tree sorry!) will be planted to replace the damaged one on the right of the first fairway, hope it doesn’t catch your drive!

East Riding Union Golf v Sheffield & District – Hornsea Golf Club By Howard Palmer (ERU Men’s Team Support) ONCE again the ER Men's Team were on the wrong end of the foursome score in their match against the Sheffield Union at Hornsea on June 12. Trailing by 9 points to 3 at lunch, East Riding were looking for a repeat of their heroics against both Leeds and Harrogate in 2021, when they overturned similar deficits on their way to the League title. In fact, early in the morning rounds, all six games were going Sheffield's way
but the top match of Paul Lockwood & Matty Raybould rallied on the back nine to win on the final green, whilst Steve Uzzell, partnered with Johnny Fisher, returning to the Team after a 10-year absence, escaped with a half. East Riding needed to win eight of the twelve singles to snatch victory and the prospects looked favourable in mid-afternoon with the scoresheet after nine holes showing a sea of blue (the colour of the Team's new
kit) as the Team led in all but four games of which, only one was in the red. However, Hornsea's “loop” of holes 10, 11 and 12, proved to be East Riding's Amen Corner. Firstly Lockwood, 2 up at the turn was hit with three birdies, to go 1 down whilst Tommy Broadley, Steve Dale and Lewis Nicholls, playing in the games that were level at the turn, all found themselves 2 down on the 13th tee. With Sheffield having won one of the later games, East Riding
needed one of these four matches to be turned around but despite the best efforts of the players with support from their colleagues, all were lost and Sheffield were over the winning line. Excellent wins were recorded by Uzzell, Fisher, Andy Woodhead, Ryan Gray and Tommy Risker, with Jamie Gregory recording a half but the performance of the day was from Matty Raybould, who was 7 under par for the 17 holes needed to beat
his opponent, who was himself 5 under! As a consequence, Raybould leads the order of merit with a 100% record over the two matches played to date. At the post-match dinner, President John Illingworth thanked Hornsea Golf Club and its staff for a course in fine condition and for the excellent catering and hospitality. Sheffield President, Bob Unwin remarked on a tight match, played in a good spirit and announced the result of 20:16 in Sheffield's favour.
Hornsea Bowls Club update By Neil Gabriel WITH the evening fixtures now at the halfway point all three teams are in strong positions. In the Hull EBA triples Patrick Plumb’s side are currently second while both Driffield evening league sides are midtable. Ron Bulless’ side are currently fifth while Mike Watson's side are fourth. Unfortunately in the evening cup competitions both sides had won their first round and were drawn against each other in the second round. In a very close match, both teams winning a rink, the A team squeezed home by a single shot. In the Driffield Vet's Mike Ginnelly's side are in the top
half of the table and remain in the cup competition after beating Stewart away. Ken Sitting’s side, which contains a number of new bowlers, is performing well, they currently lie mid-table but were unfortunately knocked out of the cup. In the new Hull Super 7's, which is a totally new format, we
lie mid-table but everyone appears to be enjoying the new event. The Saturday side are having a good season currently second. On Sunday, June 26 the club is holding the Brignall Trophy followed by a salmon and strawberry tea. Hopefully the weather will hold and an
enjoyable day will be had by all. We would all like to thank our sponsors for their new advertising boards which are now fully erected.
THANK YOU: New advertising boards for the Clubs sponsors
Hornsea Promenade Bowls Club update By Peter Barker SUNDAY June 19 saw us stage our annual Whistle-stop fundraising event for the first time after two years of Covid disruption. The event is a competition for teams of three bowlers to play four games against different teams over the day, and usually attracts players from different clubs in the area, supplemented by teams from our own club. We managed to attract a total of 18 teams to make for a great day. Several of the teams had already entered for the previous competition three years ago which was cancelled because of Covid and it was good to see many of them still come and support us. Earlier in the week rain had been forecast but this changed, and we managed to have a dry day with a good bit of sunshine in the afternoon. One of the teams dropped out at the last minute and fortunately our very own Andy Bevan, Donal O'Driscoll and Simon Rigby were on standby and managed to cobble a team together to make
1
up the 18. They soon got over any nerves and promptly went out and won the Competition with a 100% record winning all four games. Anne Ash, Mandy Dahlgren and Jacky Stringer made it a great afternoon for the Prom by coming second with three wins and one loss. Third place was taken by Diane Oldroyd's team from the Hornsea Club. It was great to see many members pitch in on the day and in the build-up to the day to make it the success it was. Neville Sansome, our former Club Secretary, did a great job in organising the competition and attracting teams and running the competition on the day. Members helped with setting up and clearing away of gazebos, seating, chairs and tables. Other members set up and ran the tombola, raffles and sold donated articles on the bric-a-brac tables. We did our own catering with House Committee members and helpers bringing in sandwiches, savouries, cakes and buns, purely
2
at the members own generous expense and they worked tirelessly in presenting and selling the aforementioned food to a hungry crowd, ably assisted by a band of helpers, along with hot and cold drinks and bacon sandwiches from the barbecue. The event also managed to attract several passing daytrippers and visitors who sampled the wares and showed an interest in the event The event was generously sponsored again this year by Mr Mark Eggleston of W J Components Ltd. His proud mother Sarah handed out cash prizes to the winning teams All in all it was a very enjoyable and successful day which raised over £1,000 for the Club. The Club has recovered well from the Covid epidemic and interest and membership is fairly high. We now have over 70 members. We play in several leagues, having one team in the Humberside EBA Evening League, two teams in the Driffield Evening
3
League and three teams in the Driffield Wednesday Afternoon League. We have several club competitions which take part throughout the year. We have friendly games organised against other clubs as an added interest. We also run a Tuesday morning session for those who may be interested and want to try the game or for those who just want to bowl socially. Just come along at 10.15am on any Tuesday morning and you will be welcomed. The first session is free. 1. FIRST: Sarah Eggleston presenting first prize to Donal O’Driscoll, Simon Rigby and Andy Bevan 2. SECOND: Sarah Eggleston presenting 2nd prize to Mandy Dahlgren, Jacky Stringer and Anne Ash 3. THIRD: Sarah Eggleston presenting 3rd prize to Steve Haslam and Diane Oldroyd
BRANDESBURTON BOWLS CLUB UPDATE By Club Secretary, Margaret Slattery ON SUNDAY, June 12 Brandesburton Bowls Club ran the first Whistle Stop in three years. Due to Covid 19 no Whistle Stops have been held at the Club since August 2019. 20 teams of three players each took part, coming from as far afield as Brigg and Fridaythorpe to play in the all-day tournament. The weather was cool with sunny spells, ideal for playing. The green was in good condition and members were looking forward to it being a good day, meeting old friends and catching up with all the news. Food was plentiful, provided by club members, wives and friends. Their hard work is appreciated by the Club and adds to the overall success of the day. A good time was had by all. There was a total of £180 in prize money. The first prize went to a team from Brandesburton Bowls Club itself. A team from away had withdrawn at the last minute and so three Club members were offered the chance to form a team to keep the numbers even. The three Club members were Kevin Swallow, Barry Marshall and Jimmy Middleton. Kevin accepted the prize on behalf of the team. Second prize went to Mrs Ada
Smith and team from East Park Foresters Bowls Club in Hull and third prize to Colin Lunt and team from Burton Pidsea Bowls Club. The prize money was presented by the Brandesburton Club Captain, Ron Charlton. (see photo). The Club's second Whistle Stop will be held on Sunday, August 28. Hopefully it will be as great a success as the last one.
