Flavours Food Fest returns!

Flavours Food Fest makes a welcome return to Elsecar Heritage Centre on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 October. Packed full of foodie fun and live entertainment, it promises to be a great day out for food lovers and families alike.

Michelin award-winning chef, Jean-Christophe Novelli, will be joining the Pigott Brothers from BBC 2 The Big Family Cooking Showdown and new voice in Indian food and wellness Mira Manek.

Alongside live cookery demonstrations, foodie fun and family entertainment the festival will also feature live music. Acts ranging from rock and pop to blues and indie will perform over the two days on the live music stage. Visitors will be able to carry on the fun late into the evening on the Saturday with headliners TFI the 90’s and then a firework display closing the first day in style. Combined with a wide selection of craft ale, prosecco, cocktails and street food on offer, the night promises to be one to remember. Other acts appearing over the weekend include; Behind the Beat, Laura Kelly, Jade Helliwell, Keiran La Fox and Megan Blackburn.

Tickets are ÂŁ5 per person with children under 14s free to attend with an adult. For more details about the event visit bit.ly/flavoursfoodfest2018. Tickets can be purchased by searching Flavours Food Festival on Eventbrite.co.uk www.theclubmansguide.co.uk

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.

OAKWELL’S SPOTLIGHT WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

Looking through some of my old books and papers I often come across names I had partly forgotten, who were very popular artistes but can no longer be found on the scene. Some of course will have retired or passed away, but still there is a core of younger people who were showing great promise.

Think Keith Hollome, for instance, and sweet Sue Fisher. There was a very promising comic from South Wales,too – I can’t remember them all. If any readers can suggest others, and I’m sure there are quite a few, I should be grateful.

50 years ago things were not going well for some of the larger clubs, and rumours were circulating around clubland. James Corrrigan, owner of Batley Variety Club and a host of amusement arcades was certainly interested, and it was believed he had made an offer for Greaseborough Social Club (not to be confused with the W.M.C there, which is still operating to this day). What happened in the end was that it all fell through and this wonderful showplace has been a supermarket for many years. A similar fate awaited the Scala near Doncaster. There were money problems - I don’t know the details, and a Special General Meeting was called on Sunday morning. A lot of lies went around as to what happened at that meeting. As a member of the Scala, I was present at the meeting and I know what was said – no other reporter or member of the press was present. Colonel Whittaker, of Whittaker’s Brewery said very clearly that the Brewery was prepared to support the club providing the club secretary, who was also the treasurer, resigned. The secretary refused. “If I go down, the club goes down with me.” And it did.

Many members joined the Doncaster Liberal Club, which had had a recent refurbishment, but that one too bit the dust after a few months. One by one most of the larger clubs on my “patch”went to the wall. Baileys were said to be buying the new club at Monk Bretton, but didn’t and their Fiesta in Sheffield is not now operating. What a sad prospect, with the Windmill in Rotherham following suit. Plus lots of others. Kirk Sandall, Peter Casson’s Ba-Ba, and almost all the proprietory clubs. A combination of reasons was the cause; too many to go into here. But you know there are over 60 clubs still functioning in our area – so don’t despair. I’ve seen a list, and there are ones I’ve never even heard of on it. And the Clubmans Guide paddles along, produced even better than it’s ever been, with an old codger as their sole writer when in the times being written about we had seven! www.theclubmansguide.co.uk
