GUISELEY AFC
Bradford City were recently taken over by an ambitious German consortium who were previously involved with Bundesliga stalwarts Stuttgart. There will also be an open training session where there will be an opportunity to see all new acquisitions - the date for this is yet to be confirmed.

Guiseley AFC will ply their trade in the highest level of non-league football (the Vanarama National League) again next season after a thrilling last day of the season. Needing to win and other results to go their way, a thrilling 4-3 scoreline against Torquay United was enough to secure safety with Halifax Town dropping points at home to Macclesfield Town. After racing into a 3-0 lead at half time, news of a Halifax goal was a major setback, with that further reflected as Torquay then pulled it back to 3-2. Star Loanee Anthony Dudley then slotted past the keeper to restore a two goal advantage, sending the Nethermoor faithful into double delirium as news filtered through of a Macclesfield equaliser. Torquay notched a consolation but it wasn't enough and after a five-minute wait, news the Halifax game finished 1-1 filtered through. Cue pandemonium amongst the near 2000 strong support with wild celebrations on the pitch between the players and fans. Since that fateful Saturday evening, plans for next season are already beginning to take shape. With the stadium expansion of Nethermoor Park to a capacity of 4,000 having been completed, a major overhaul of the squad is now taking place with club stalwarts Ben Parker and Gavin Rothery among 8 players to be released. The club will be hoping this period of transition will culminate in the assembly of a squad capable of challenging towards the top of a league containing prestigious clubs such as Lincoln City, Tranmere Rovers and York City. Manager Mark Bower said of the changes; “Some of these lads have been brilliant servants for the club so there were 8 | SUBURBAN MAGAZINE
Looking properly ahead to next season, at every home match there is an opportunity for a junior club to form the Guard of Honour.

some difficult decisions, but as a club we want to move forward and we feel some changes need to made to achieve that. First and foremost, the club has to stay in this division and then we’ll go from there.” The only addition to be confirmed so far is that of frontman Michael Rankine, which is something of a coup for the club, with Rankine having rejected more lucrative offers from elsewhere. The club have also announced pre-season friendlies at home against Huddersfield Town (6th July), whilst possible matches against Leeds United and Bradford City are still to be confirmed. Whilst these matches are friendlies, the games have the added spice of being local derbies and the interest of all three opponents going through a summer of change. Huddersfield Town now have David Wagner – a former prodigy of Jurgen Klopp – as boss and is expected to completely revamp his squad. Leeds United’s managerial and ownership situation seems a never ending uncertainty and

LIFE IS A WALK OF ART – WELL IT WILL BE ON THE 2ND AND 3RD OF JULY! Article by Lara Rule
The 2016 Walk of ART has seen an unprecedented amount of people from the community joining forces and forging collaborations set to burn holes through your boots. THIS YEAR’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: The Launch Night: This year Neil Hunt, local resident and owner of ZigZag Lighting is back. He has joined forces with Pete Goldup from Silent Noize to choreograph a light display to Classical Music. But that’s not all… The evening will kick off with food vans from Bear’s Pantry, Duke’s Pizza and Sunflower Bakery and a family friendly disco outside on the lawn. At 7.20pm The Walk of ART will join events around Yorkshire to all dance to the same track at the same time as part of the ‘Big Disco’. At 9pm The Witness will perform a live set inside the church followed by more music, food and the light and sound collaboration at 10.30pm. So bring a picnic blanket and join us to really kick the Walk of ART off in style (and a £10 deposit for your head phones!!). The Travelling Gig: Music is a key feature of the Walk of Art this year with 21 live acts performing over 7 sets throughout the weekend. Starting at 10am on Saturday there will be 1.5hr sets at different venues moving every hour and a half. From Mr CD Wallum with his Vintage Americana and the West Yorkshire Classical Guitar Society to the official town musicians – ‘Leeds Waits’ and the rather unusual Quodlibet meaning “whatever you like” and referring to a typical musical form of the Renaissance as well as lots of soul, funk and folk to knock your socks off… The High Street Galleries: will exhibit work again from all schools particularly highlighting the fantastic collaborations with local and Leeds based artists. There have been over 25 artists who have given their time freely to work with local schools. Lara Rule, organiser, is passionate about exposing children to a wide and diverse spectrum of creative mediums that challenge what they perceive to be art. The workshops have varied from glass design with Twice Fired and Rebel Glass Company, to jewellery design with Martha Dalton, perfume portraits with fine arts perfumer Michael Borkowsky as well as embroidering with conductive thread and LED

GARDEN AND ALLOTMENT BONFIRES I often get asked about the legality of residents having bonfires in their gardens and what can be done about these. The Council has a Bonfire Guidelines leaflet which explains that “it is a common misconception that there are specific byelaws prohibiting garden bonfires or specifying times they can be lit – there aren’t. However this is not licence for indiscriminate burning. Sometimes it is the only practical way to dispose of woody or diseased waste that cannot be composted. Only dry garden material should be burned, never household rubbish, tyres or anything plastic, foam or paint. Fires should be kept away from trees, fences and buildings.” Residents can complain to the Council’s Environmental Health department who must

investigate the complaint and issue a notice under the Environmental Protection Act if they feel a nuisance is being caused. Private action can also be brought under the Act. However, neighbours should try to speak to each other about any bonfire nuisance as they may not be aware of any distress being caused. Barbeques can also cause smoke and odour problems. I am advised that “Local Authorities receive around 30,000 complaints about bonfires each year. Smoke prevents neighbours from enjoying their gardens, opening windows or hanging out washing. One alternative is composting and a compost bin will produce useful soil conditioner.” Cllr. Barry Anderson Adel & Wharfedale Ward www.barryanderson.yourcllr.com Twitter @barryanderson19
