We have another great reader competition this month. If you’re fond of food then we’ve got a chance for you to win a meal for two at Audley Clevedon in Ben Rhydding – see P5. We popped along there recently and can definitely recommend it to readers. On the subject of food, we’re looking for nominations for places you think we should visit as we launch our monthly ‘Real Review’ see P12 for details.

I’ve started to see adverts for the return of X-Factor to our screens.

The one thing that signals for me is that I need to start planning for Christmas! We’ll kick things off next month with the first of our Countdown to Christmas features. If you have a community event or fundraiser planned for the festive season, let us know now and we’ll ensure you get plenty of free and favourable publicity. If your business is gearing up for Christmas then please get in touch, we are offering a limited amount of free supportive editorial space for advertisers in the year’s final editions, so book your space nice and early.

Editorial and advertising deadline for the next edition is 01/09/13.

Until next month,

Chris Barnham Editor

Fine dining in Ben Rhydding Audley Clevedon enjoys a spectacular position high above the Wharfe Valley. Its residents and leisure club members are well aware of the delights of its restaurant, but too many others are not. The new team of General Manager David Kanarens and Marketing Manager Richard Fox are keen to change all that. Now is an excellent time to sample the food, as new Chef Stuart Dixon has just launched his mouth-watering summer menu. So whether you want an al fresco light lunch or a dinner – maybe accompanied by excellent wine from Berry Brothers and Rudd – in beautiful surroundings, check it out.

Stuart trained in Leeds and then worked for five years at Queen’s Hotel. Two years each spent training under award-winning chefs Paul Heathcote and Gary Rhodes honed his talent, which he then exercised as he worked his way to Head Chef in quality West Yorkshire restaurants. Notable among these was the Park at Walton, Wakefield, where he was awarded an AA rosette within six months, and the Fleece in Addingham. At Clevedon, he makes maximum use of fresh, local, seasonal produce and the results speak for themselves.

B Whiteley Farmshop If there’s one place in our area which offers ideal growing conditions, it’s the Tong Cockersdale Valley. This green and fertile land has seen a market garden as far back as the early 1900’s. Now it’s home to B Whiteley Farmshop and Nursery, who are situated on Houghside Road in Pudsey, and grow a range of plants, trees, fruit and vegetables.

In true farming style, it’s a family run business operated now by Bryn Whiteley and his wife Vicky, and the land has been owned by the family since the 1960’s. Bryn grew up working the farm, when it mainly produced rhubarb and brassicas, before going to horticultural college, which lead to experience of landscaping.

Returning to the farm, the family focused on promoting the nursery side of the business whilst raising a young family. Demand for fruit and vegetables grew though as people began to favour locally grown produce over the

poorer quality and taste which the supermarkets had to offer, and now Whiteley’s is sustained by equal sales of plants and fruit and veg’.

The variety of plants and trees produced here is extensive and ranges from ornamental trees, hedging and perennials through to a vast selection of herbs and edible plants. And, as you might expect, you can also buy your own fruit trees and veg’ plug plants, even seeds, if you fancy a go at growing your own. Equally impressive is the plethora

of vegetables grown on site. Vicky enthusiastically talks me through them all “…9 varieties of potato, 6 varieties of squash, 5 types of courgette, 4 types of beetroot…” The list goes on and on. I never realised there was any more than 2 types of beetroot and the visit to Whiteley’s has left me feeling a little ignorant, but also keen to learn more.

The great thing about the couple is that they’re keen to provide more information and it becomes quickly apparent that these people actually know what they’re talking about.

Calling it a ‘farmshop’ doesn’t really cover it; these people are specialists, and they’re really passionate and proud about what they do. Keen also to share their knowledge, they’re happy for children to visit and discover where their food comes from and even pick their own pumpkin for Halloween or tree for Christmas from the fields. They also work with schools and have recently had some of their chicks hatched at nearby Raynville School.

And all of their hard work seems to be paying of; These winners of the Yorkshire Post ‘Taste Awards’ also attend farmer’s markets in Horsforth, Headingley and Roundhay and well as selling wholesale and to local shops and restaurants, including 114 The Arch, Salts’ Catering and The Local Pantry. As if that wasn’t enough, they also keep their own ducks and hens,

Re vie w Regular readers will know that Covered reports things as we find them – honestly and without hyperbole - our monthly ‘Real Review’ is penned with the same ethos.

I emphasise the point ‘real’ as (believe it or not!) many reviews featured in magazines or newspapers are really paid-for adverts. The Editor bobs along, wines and dines gratis and then regardless of the experience, reports back that it was ‘Five Star!’ If you happen across a place that has won several awards, or ‘Restaurant of the Year’ then you might find that it’s more a case of ‘Advertiser of the Year’. With that in mind, all Covered reviews will be a genuine opinion based on my experience that day.

Speriamo meglio la prossima volta Literally translated as ‘hopefully better next time’ - my first planned visit was to an Italian eaterie on New Road Side, Horsforth. I found it to be so lacking in every department that I’ve declined to review it, not wanting to kick things off on such a negative vibe. I’ll revisit at some point with fingers firmly crossed that it’s improved... a lot.

The Devonshire Brassiere & Bar Like many of you, I head for the countryside when I can and nowhere is more glorious in summer than Bolton Abbey.

History, scenery, water – what more could one ask for? The day my partner and I went, it was heaving with people so we were worried that we wouldn’t get a seat at The Devonshire Brassiere & Bar - just a couple of minutes away from the Abbey’s car park. On arrival we immediately snaffled a table outside. Good quality tables (no wobbles!), and with a magnificent view over the estate. It took a while for our servers to arrive – we took note that some staff were rather young and perhaps lacked the training that some of the older staff had clearly received. Not too much of an issue, given the setting and the weather at that time but it might have been an issue were we waiting in different circumstances.

Given the heat we ordered a couple of Cokes before ordering (£2.74ea). The menu wasn’t vast and we considered the mains more suitable for the usual Yorkshire climate, rather than the great day we had. Lishmans Cumberland Sausage, Mashed Potatoes & Onion Jus (£13.95) or Char Grilled Rib eye Steak, Fat Chips, Field Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes, Watercress, Peppercorn Sauce (£23.95) for example, would, regardless of the quality of the ingredients or skills of the chef, have been unimaginable on such a warm day.

Looking for a light lunch and unconventional as usual, we opted for two starters each, rather than order a main. We we’re glad we did! We both chose Bacon, Black Pudding & Soft-Boiled Egg Salad with Wholegrain Mustard Dressing (£6.75). The dish arrived swiftly, on a piece of slate, as is

What we had:

2 cokes 2 x Bacon & Black Pudding Salad 1 x Chicken Liver Parfait 1 x Sweet Pepper 1 x Green Beans Total: £37.90 + Optional 12% service charge of £4.74

the vogue these days. I can’t compliment it enough and have cooked it myself at home since, swapping the bacon for pancetta. Well prepared, well presented and thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. The black pud was particularly moist and flavoursome.

My second course was Chicken Liver Parfait, Wholegrain Mustard, Red Onion Marmalade & Melba Toast (£6.95). The generous portion of parfait was smooth, delicate in flavour and complemented well by the red onion marmalade. I found the melba toast to be a little thin, brittle and dry. We had several slices of a good quality Petit Parisian (or similar) on the table though, which made a far better partner for the parfait.

My partner opted for Roasted Sweet Pepper with Aubergine Puree, Marinated Mozzarella and a Sunblushed Tomato & Olive Dressing (£6.25). The aubergine puree got a little lost on the plate but otherwise, the quality of the ingredients held it all together nicely. A side of green beans (£2.95) didn’t really bring much to the party but that was personal taste, opposed to a poor quality side dish.

We did bob inside to use the facilities and there was nothing about the interior that would put us off returning in less clement weather. Although the menu wasn’t wildly adventurous there was something on there to suit most tastes and for pudding lovers, there was a good selection of desserts, Strawberry & Creme Brulée, Strawberry Compot & Shortbread (£5.95) being the star.

Cheese boards, dessert wines and a good selection of beverages were also available so if you wanted to enjoy more than just a quick lunchtime bite you’d have plenty of options. All in all this was an entirely pleasant visit with reasonably priced, well prepared and presented food in the most delightful of settings. We’d definitely return.

This athletic fella is 3 year old Billy the Boxer, sent in by Maureen & Dave from Ilkley. “He’s always bounding around” Maureen told us. “He loves walks on the moor where he’s fond of sniffing out other dogs to play with. Some play, some run!”. His favourite treat is apparently a bubble bath followed by a tipple of Black Sheep Beer and a well deserved snooze in front of the log-burner.

Cookridge Garden Club Celebrating 70 The Cookridge & District Horticultural Society, (shortened to The Cookridge Garden Club), will be celebrating 70 years of flower and vegetable shows on Saturday the 14th September.

It was during the Second World War, when everyone was being encouraged to dig for victory, that the first show was formulated in September 1944. This was held in the Home Guard Hut at the top end of Green Lane, with no electricity – just gas lighting, a coke oven and no water! That was brought in from the house opposite.

The society has a number of show schedules from the 1950’s, which bear a remarkable likeness to the current show schedules. Flowers, vegetables, baking, crafts, in every size shape and colour you can think of.. A recent innovation has been the introduction of children’s classes, which also involve a number of our local junior schools.

Schedules for 2013 are available from our secretary Katherine Hill on 0113 2671858

Leeds Trinity Round Up First for journalism trainees as they produce local newspaper for a week

Journalism trainees at Leeds Trinity University were plunged into the real world of local news reporting this July, as they were recruited to help put together a local newspaper for a week.

Believed to be first project of its kind in the UK for journalism trainees, seven print and magazine journalism postgraduate trainees from Leeds Trinity University joined the Morley Observer from 24 – 31 July, assuming responsibility for producing the news agenda for the week, including the paper’s front page and lead stories.

Lisa Bradley, Leeds Trinity University’s Senior Lecturer in Journalism who arranged the experience, commented: “This has been an amazing experience for everyone involved, and to have got the front page and the main news page lead on the inside has been brilliant. The postgraduate trainees spent all weekend before the project in Morley and produced an amazing news list that I would have been proud of when I was running my own news room.”

Leeds Trinity hosts major international conference

Nearly 200 delegates from countries across the world descended upon Leeds Trinity University this July, as it played host to the Faith and Light International Assembly (21 – 27 July).

Founded in 1971, Faith and Light is a Christian association that includes people with learning disabilities or learning difficulties, their families and friends. It is made up of local Faith and Light communities, who meet regularly for friendship, worship and celebration. The Faith and Light International Assembly is the flagship event for Faith and Light, taking place every five years.

The Faith and Light International Assembly is just one of the many conferences that Leeds Trinity hosts each summer, and throughout the year.

Damon Shaw, Commercial Manager of Leeds Trinity University, said: “Each summer the University welcomes delegates with the same high quality bedrooms, lecture facilities and catering as enjoyed by our students, but never before has Leeds Trinity been able to provide Yorkshire hospitality to delegates from so many countries as the Faith and Light International Assembly. With guests at times in national dress, translation booths in place and notices going up in multiple languages, there was a real international flavour about campus.”

Coming up… Open Days

The next Leeds Trinity Open Day takes place on Wednesday 14 September from 11am until 3pm.

Open Days are a chance to find out about all of the undergraduate and postgraduate courses on offer at the University. Everyone’s welcome to attend, so find out more and book your place at www. leedstrinity.ac.uk/opendays.

Airport Parking Remains a Fiasco It’s over eighteen months since Covered interviewed Cllr Barry Anderson about his constituents’ allegations that LBA was deliberately corralling them into paying areas by moving the free pick up zone – and by failing to sign it properly. In November 2011 we reported that Leeds City Council had not been aware the changes at the time they licensed LBA to act on their behalf and were keeping the matter under review.

Facing LBA on a Friday lunchtime early in June – the never ending game of cat and mouse between travellers and law enforcement officers can only get worse now that the holiday season is upon us.

These photographs were taken last month. Things can only get worse now that we are entering the second summer holiday season since LCC’s “review” was undertaken. A drive along the airport road is frequently peppered with cars and pedestrians playing a game of cat and mouse with double yellow lines, traffic cones, LBA’s own traffic wardens and the local police. If you were anywhere else you’d be forgiven for mistaking them for streetwalkers, ticket touts, pimps or drug dealers.

We hope to be able to report LBA’s and LCC’s responses in the next issue. In the meantime, we’d like to hear of any readers’ experiences.

The free pick up and drop off area was entirely empty that lunchtime – unmarked as such, hardly anyone knows it’s there.

Pepper Stars - Maia’s latest album Tom Clegg from Burley in Wharfedale is the writing force behind the Huddersfield four-piece acoustic band Maia – the self proclaimed inventors of sci-fi folk. He wrote the words and music for all fourteen tracks on Pepper Stars, their second and latest album released in November.

The extracts of performance reviews posted on the band’s website make good descriptions of their latest offering; “youthful, spirited, richly atmospheric and intelligently off-centre alt.folk pop” (Time Out), “Their songs deny genre boundaries” (Supajam), “Eclectic with surprising twists and turns throughout” (Acoustic Magazine). Eclectic is spot on. Other reviews describe them as “a bit of Beirut, some Deliverance-style banjo, a Mariachi band, some falsetto harmonies, Durangone-folk, like a harder brasher Mumford & Sons fused with Wild Beasts.”

Curious, that. All reviewers attended similar performances but none heard quite the same thing.

Nor me. For what it’s worth, I heard a bit of George Harrison’s off-centre sitar stuff and Johnny Cash’s Tex-Mex country.

development when there are areas across the city that could be regenerated and supply much needed housing.

As regular readers of this column will know, planning is one of my key interests in Parliament and I am passionate about protecting green spaces in our community for future generations. In June I encouraged readers to contribute to the Leeds City Council public consultation on The Site Allocations Plan which closed on 29th July.

I know from the hundreds of emails I received from constituents that many local residents did submit their own responses and I cannot stress just how important it is for us all to take advantage of having our voices heard in this process.

This is not a simplistic NIMBY view, as these communities have taken their full share of development over the years. The result has been huge congestion on roads which have seen little improvement and investment over the last 100 years. It has increased demand for school places and medical facilities. In my last Covered article I looked at this very issue; there is already a consultation on expanding schools in Guiseley and Farsley and we are likely to see this issue raise its head in other communities in the future.

In my response to the consultation I highlighted my own grave concerns that the Housing targets for the period remain far too high. As a city we were rightly critical that the RSS target was doubled as it was clear that being able to build so many houses was unlikely and would threaten much of our greenfield sites as has been proven. To, in effect, continue at such a level the Council has to prove it has sites to meet demand and that is now putting some of our greenbelt sites in danger.

Over the past 10 or 20 years, every part of my constituency has been affected by mass over development. It is totally unacceptable that the Council are looking at our greenbelt for further

We do need to build new homes but there must surely be a better way than building on our precious Greenbelt. We are after all supposed to be a green city.

It is always a humbling experience to meet constituents who are volunteering their own time to help others and I was therefore delighted to meet Brian Firth at my office in July. Brian recently launched a new Global First Aid Society, teaching members of the public life-saving skills. Brian is passionate about teaching people about first aid and I strongly encourage readers to brush up on their lifesaving skills, you never know when you might need them.

10 Tips a Gym When Choosing

According to experts, those who join gyms at the end of summer are much more likely to make it part of a regular routine.

There are plenty of gyms to choose from in North/North West Leeds, so here are our top ten tips to help you choose.

1

Try Before you Buy

Many gyms will offer day passes ‘free’ in return for your contact details. Alternatively see if they offer a ‘pay as you go’ rate for the gym or if you can pay to sample a fitness class.

2

Right Package

Think carefully about the facilities you will use.

Is it worth paying a premium for a swimming pool or is it better to pay separately to swim elsewhere?

If you take part in classes is it cheaper to get a membership than pay each week?

3

Couples membership

If joining at the same time as a friend, ask about couples membership as these often no longer just apply to those in a relationship. Gyms know that if you exercise with a partner you’re more likely to keep coming, meaning good business for them and a better chance of you achieving your goals.

4

Convenient Location & Parking

Think when you are likely to use the gym. Is it close to your home or easy to get to on the way back from work? Make sure there’s plenty of parking if you intend on coming at peak times.

5

Exercise Classes

Check to see when classes are on. Ask to have a look at the area used for classes, how many people take part per class and how easy it is to book on.

6

Other Customers

Pick a gym in which you feel comfortable. You won’t want to exercise if you feel you’re the odd one out, so when choosing have a look at the other customers and ask yourself if they are people like you.

7

Cancellation Fees and Policy

Check on the minimum cancellation period.

Some gyms require 6 months or more notice of cancellation, even on rolling monthly contracts, which might sound ok but can prove difficult when that house or job move comes through in the future.

8

Quality of Equipment

Does it look as if the facility continuing to invest in new equipment and ensuring that existing fitness equipment is well maintained? Ask what new pieces of equipment there are and look to see if there are any machines out of order.

9

Fitness Instructors and Programmes

Ask what specialist fitness instructor support is inclusive to the membership and what has to be paid for separately.

10

Fitness Challenges

Finally, you plan on going for a while so what fitness challenges are up and around the gym to keep people like you motivated?

Too Busy To Exercise?

How many times do you hear “I am too busy to exercise”? Recent research indicates that undertaking exercise in small chunks is just as beneficial as doing an hour flat out. So if your life is busy consider breaking your exercise up into 10 minute slots.

10 Minutes in the Morning

10 Minutes in the Evening

Go for a brisk walk especially in the lovely summer sunshine. Try and get slightly out of breath and if you feel energetic give yourself a goal like walking faster from one tree to another or one house to another.

Brisk walk around the block or get off the bus/train a stop earlier and walk home. Follow this with some Press Ups to work your chest and back of arms. On your hands and knees, arms wide and under elbows, lower to the floor and return. Knees further away from your hands makes it harder.

10 Minutes at Lunchtime If you work from home go up and down the steps several times until you get out of breath. Put some music on and do this to a tune that motivates you. Follow this with some Squats to work your bottom and thighs.

Leeds Trinity University – Strengthening the New Brand Leeds Trinity University is a far stronger brand name than its previous incarnation, a University College. One current initiative at LTU to strengthen the brand itself is a concerted effort to adopt a uniform approach to all research projects – no mean feat considering the breadth of the academic community from which their lecturers are drawn.

Still, the pooling of expertise and resources is aimed at strengthening research projects and helping to produce reports that remain common currency between different departments and aid future work. To that end, Professor Karen Sayer (Social and Cultural History) was charged with the task of organising the first LTU conference with these aims in mind.

Professor Karen Sayer getting fellow researchers at LTU singing from the same spreadsheet

Delegates on 12 July were predominantly departmental heads, professors and senior lecturers.

Professor Margaret House, LTU Vice Chancellor, introduced the Research Strategy for discussion.

Delegates were then addressed in small groups by senior academics and research strategists from the universities of Middlesex, Sheffield, Leeds and London. Then, in the afternoon, they participated in two of the five workshops examining different aspects of research and the resources necessary.

And, finally, there was a summing-up session, discussing the day and the strategy itself – during which many commented that the cross-fertilisation had been worthwhile and wished they’d had longer.

They will - there are to be two such conferences each year.

Make sure you know what time the kids are supposed to be there on day one! Give yourself plenty of time to get there, if you have to drive to school you’ll find the roads far busier in the first week of term. If you can, walk or cycle - you won’t have to cope with the frustration of finding a place to park.

Ensure you’ve informed school of any medical or dietary needs for the next term.

Make sure pencil cases have been replenished, lunchboxes are intact and backpacks/bags are good for another term.

Plan lunches. If your child is taking a packed lunch, you’ll find it much easier to provide a balanced diet if you plan ahead.

inGuiseley Community Networking First Evening Meeting inGuisely Community Networking is the brainchild of, and run by, Subway Guiseley’s owner, Ian Dawes. Meetings to date had been early morning – power breakfasts, as they were known in the nineties and, according to The Economist, given a new lease of life in 2009.

Well, not everyone can attend business meetings long before dawn in the winter, or not that long after dawn in the summertime. Nor does everyone want to. So, Ian held the first and less formal inGuiseley evening meeting at 6pm (as opposed to am) on 19 July at Cooper’s in Guiseley. The heat wave did deter some from attending – perhaps after a long day in a hot office. But those who turned up were able to take advantage of the nicely shaded garden to the rear.

Less structured and formal than the early morning meetings, discussions were spontaneous and

Ian has set the next evening meetings for 12 September and 14 November, again 6pm at Cooper’s.

John William Inchbold – a PreRaphaelite Buried in Adel The graveyard at St John’s Church, Adel, has a disproportionate number of publicly acclaimed occupants – something that Covered will be reporting during the coming months. One of those, artist and poet John William Inchbold (1830-1888), was both remembered and celebrated in Adel on 12 July when Professor Paul Crowther presented an informed and illustrated talk on Inchbold’s life, works and inspirations.

John Inchbold was the son of the owner/editor of the Leeds Intelligencer. Established in 1754 it is better known today as the Yorkshire Post. With photography still in its infancy, young John would have come into contact with numerous illustrators.

He had a go himself and was found to be quite good – studying at the Royal Academy from 1847.

Inchbold travelled Europe. He gained the admiration and support of the romantic poets Tennyson and Browning and the friendship of the Pre-Raphaelite

The only book on the works of Inchbold is one that accompanied the 1993 exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery (still available from Jeremy Mills Publishing, Huddersfield).

Brotherhood (PRB) mover and shaker John Ruskin.

But neither his name nor his works ever received the same acclaim as other PRB artists such Millais, Morris, Rosetti and Whistler. Nonetheless, his output was prolific and remains highly regarded.

SUMMER C Forgotten your brolly?

If so, it’s likely your hair is going to look a frizzled mess by the end of the day, what with the inconsistent Yorkshire climate.

Is it going to be baking hot and therefore you want it scraped back off your face or are you expecting colder weather where you’ll get away a more glamorous style?

One thing’s for sure – you’ll find healthy hair easier to cope with – look after your hair and scalp and you’ll find that, whatever the weather, you’ll still be able to pull off a fab ‘do’!

Here are Covered’s 5 top tips for summer hair and scalp care.

1 I’m sure most of you do but for those that don’t – wash your hair every day!! It’s the best way to keep hair and scalp healthy. Think about the dirt of the day that you wash from your hands and face, the same dirt is engrained on your hair and scalp. Your scalp perspires too, and produces oils so keep it clean.

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

CARE FOR SCALP & HAIR 2 Eat well. A healthy diet won’t do your hair any harm whatsoever. Keep your locks strong and shiny by getting plenty of Omega 3 in your diet. Sardines, salmon, walnuts, beans and wild rice are all good sources. If you’re not a whiz in the kitchen then there are plenty of supplements on the shelves.

3 Protect your hair, especially if you’re planning on taking a dip in the pool or the sea. Use conditioner to slick back your hair – conditioner provides a barrier to chlorine, salt water and sunlight. If you do get caught out in the rain let your hair dry naturally, simply scrape back and let nature take its course. Too much blow-drying won’t do your hair or scalp any favours.

4 Go easy on the products.

Sprays, gels and mousses are chemical based in general. Ingredients such as ethanol and alcohol can be damaging to hair and scalp, especially in strong sunlight. If you need to use a product to style then look for one containing natural ingredients, there are more and more on the shelves as consumers look for more environmentally friendly lines.

5 Go au-naturel! The majority of permanent colour processes use hydrogen peroxide to develop colour. If you have dark hair which you’re trying to lighten then the formula will be stronger and may cause damage, particularly if you’re styling, using products or blowdrying often. Frequent dyeing may cause a dry, itchy scalp too. Once hair has been severely damaged there’s no going back – you can only minimise the appearance of the damage.

As always, the best advice will come from your local independent salon.

Vintage Weddings There are vintage clothes at Wedding Fairs and wedding dresses at Vintage Fairs. The two were brought together for the very first time in a Vintage Wedding Fair in Harrogate on Valentine’s Day, 2010. It was a runaway success 28 exhibitors and 650 visitors on the day.

Beautiful shoes, hats and accessories – all these with price tickets around £10 to £30.

Why vintage?

The attractions of vintage clothes in general and wedding clothes in particular are not hard to see.

First, the individual look. No two vintage-themed weddings are going to look alike, so slim are the chances of identical dresses turning up. Then there are considerations of cost and quality. These clothes and accessories have price tickets mostly in two or maybe three figures, unlike their modern equivalents. The dresses are so beautifully made, in exquisite fabrics. There is also the “green” aspect.

Recycling is good. Allied to all that is the romantic aura of clothes and accessories with a history. Who wore them and when?

VW Beetles are popular for the getting the bride to the church and Camper Vans for honeymoons.

The look

As with all vintage clothes, the wearer’s body shape is crucial. Some periods fit one person better than others and it is important to take advice from specialist dealers. In the 1940s and 1950s, food shortages and rationing meant that people were generally a lot thinner. The “flapper” look – straight up and down back and front – of the 20s and 30s is altogether kinder, certainly for the guests. For the total look, you need a specialist hair stylist and make-up artist. Flowers need to be in keeping with the period as well. For the reception, you could go for 1950s food on vintage tableware. For later, the photos in sepia tones in traditional albums. All this and more should be found under the one roof at vintage wedding fairs.

The next Vintage Wedding Fair in Harrogate is on 22 September from 11 until 4 at Old Swan Hotel, Swan Road and is an excellent opportunity to connect with specialist vintage clothing dealers, make-up artists, transport specialists, caterers, florists, stationers and musicians.

Parking Permit Charges The Council is considering introducing charges for Residents’ Parking Permits (RPP). I am not in favour of this. Most schemes exist because of the behaviour of non-residents who use the area for parking due to close proximity to an amenity. This leaves residents with no space to park in their own street.

In this year’s budget, income of £400k was assumed from changes to car parking charges. The suggested annual charge for a permit is from £35 to £70.

Various alternative options for how a charge might be levied include a flat fee per permit; an escalating fee based upon engine size; an escalating fee which increases with number of permits and a zonal charge. The initial proposal is 1st Permit £50 per annum, further permits £50 each per annum, Blue Badge holders – Free, Low Emission Vehicles – Free. There will also be options for visitors.

Within existing schemes residents may decide not to purchase permits, in which case a review of the local scheme may be appropriate and provision for this will be built into the detailed roll-out proposals. If it decided to progress with introducing charges, a comprehensive communication scheme will have to be put in place so existing members of schemes are given all the facts and can make their decisions accordingly.

When renewals are falling due (each scheme is reexamined every three years), the affected residents will be notified that this review is taking place and invited to renew their permits for interim period pending any new changes becoming effective.

Consultation has started and findings will be submitted to the Executive Board later in the year.

If they resolve to proceed with this, all residents will be notified shortly after with an intended implementation date of late November 2013.

PEACE OF MIND FOR LANDLORDS

This will protect your money – and safeguard your concerns.

And you can be assured of the highest customer service.

In the short time it takes you to read this month´s column, the chances are that someone, somewhere in the Wharfe Valley is choosing their new home to rent.

At the moment anyone can set up in business as a letting agent – as many tenants and landlords have found out to their cost. It's been a long-standing anomaly that letting agents, who routinely handle large sums of money, are not regulated in the same way as their estate agent counterparts who do not handle money at all.

In common with our European neighbours – for whom letting has been a way of life for generations – renting has never been more popular.

The private rental sector is growing rapidly - there are now 3.84m households privately renting in England, compared with 1.9m in 2001. And the figure is increasing.

Whether it is because of the flexibility it offers, or because people are still finding it difficult to buy or sell their home, the market has never been more buoyant.

But thereby hangs a warning. Neither has it been so dangerous and open to rogue operators with whom tenants and landlords alike trust their money.

For ultimate peace of mind, only work with those agents who have met the strict standards needed to become members of ARLA (the Association of Residential Letting Agents) and have signed up to the SAFEagent kitemark scheme.

Many reputable and accredited agents now want the law to go further - deterring some operators from providing unacceptable services and engaging in unlawful practices, behaviour which tarnishes the sector as a whole.

Many reputable agents have voluntarily joined industry accreditation schemes, giving clients peace of mind that their money is safeguarded. But as many as 40 per cent of agents have not.

Nobody books a holiday with a travel agent who is not properly accredited and registered – but, as ever-increasing numbers of tenants are finding to their cost, this isn’t always the case in the rental market where the stakes are far higher.

editor’s note Thanks to Paul Mitchell, Branch Manager, Linley & Simpson. Station Road, Horsforth.

We urgently require...

2, 3 and 4 bed houses £700 to £1000 pcm.

Whether you’re an experienced landlord, new to lettings or looking to buy an investment property, we can offer a variety of services to help make letting easy.

Don’t just take our word for it, see what some of our current landlords are saying…

“We value the fact that they have a very acute understanding of the demands of the letting market in each of the areas in which they operate”

“Linley and Simpson epitomise professionalism.

I have always found them to be extremely helpful and polite” Mr G, Wakefield

His team arrived on time, kept us informed, were very tidy and delivered a new kitchen we have loved ever since.

If you’ve the patience to strip and sand floorboards then you can apply many finishes

If you’ve the patience to strip and sand floorboards then you can apply many finishes – varnish, stain, paint, wax, even limewash. A cheaper alternative is laminate, which is versatile, easy to fit and comes in many finishes. Because laminate has a melamine resin layer it is deals with moisture better and is suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms, you can even install it in the cellar if you have one.

RUBBER Cool and stylish, rubber flooring is great in bathrooms. This flooring comes in tiles or sheets and can be solid coloured, patterned, smooth or studded.

One of the best wearing floor finishes available, rubber is still soft underfoot but it’s vulcanised finish ensures that it is virtually impossible to wear through.

BAMBOO If you’ve got the environment in mind then Bamboo could be for you. It’s rapid growth ensures that the eco-impact is not as telling as real wood, bamboo is actually a grass. It can be harvested every 3-5 years, unlike wood, which takes 15 – 25 years. It’s exceptionally hard wearing and comes in many different styles to compliment most interiors.

If you’ve got the environment in mind then Bamboo could be for you.

CONCRETE Not ideal for the living room as it’s cold and hard but perfect for high-traffic areas such as the hallway and even the bathroom. Decorative concrete finishes have been used in commercial buildings for years.

The concrete can be polished, painted or finished with a design of your choice – ideal for those wanting to express some individuality.

Adel Neighbourhood Forum Feedback and further consultation plans.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to the Leeds City Council consultation on its proposed Housing Site Allocations.

The Adel Neighbourhood Forum’s view is that brownfield sites should be used first for development and that we will work closely with Leeds City Council and the Developer on any issues arising from these projects particularly on traffic and other infrastructure issues.

The land opposite the Grade 1 listed Adel Parish Church (Site 2130, Church Lane) should not be developed because of a number of factors particularly its ancient landscape and environment which includes a footpath running across it and importantly the historical setting of the Church built circa 1150.

As a principle we are opposed to the development of any sites in the Greenbelt and therefore oppose the proposed allocation for housing on Site 1178A South of Dunstarn Lane. We support the Leeds City Council on its view

The Forum is moving quickly forward to full statutory recognition with boundary issues resolved and a full complement of members. Phase 2 of the consultation is through sector based focus groups and these are reporting back their findings to add to the previous research in Phase 1 from the “Open day”. Phase 3 will consist of a second open day in the autumn which will outline progress to date and seek further information through a questionnaire survey of residents. The purpose is to ensure that we have a clear view of their future housing and infrastructure needs including what they like and dislike about our area and what they would like to keep or change.

Finally, if there is anyone out there with “Fund Raising” skills and would like to volunteer some of their time we should be delighted to hear from you.

ADEL PLAYERS PAINT COMIC PICTURE OF 50’s PARIS North Leeds drama group Adel Players will be making an exhibition of themselves once again in late October when they perform Noel Coward's hilarious comedy 'Nude With Violin'.

The play, set in Paris in 1954, is something of a lost masterpiece from the Coward collection, packed full of colourful characters and drawing upon a healthy scepticism of modern art. The famous painter Paul Sorodin has passed away, but what was the secret of his success? With wit and good humour, the truth is revealed...

Theatregoers are invited to view the scene in Sorodin's studio at Adel Memorial Hall, LS16 8DE, from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 October (starts 7.30pm).

Ayckbourn's 'Bedroom Farce' was "full of laughter, fun and warmth" (Adel Bells magazine).

Adel Players' last production - 'Ghosts', by Henrik Ibsen - was recently honoured by the Wharfedale Festival of Theatre with three awards, including the prestigious William Whitely Salver for Best Play.

Earlier in 2013, the group's sold-out run of Alan

Tickets for 'Nude With Violin', which is directed by Dianne Newby, cost £8. Bookings can be made on (0113) 275 5585, or via the group's website at www. adel-players.org.uk, where directions and other useful information can also be found.

The venue was a close guarded secret until a few days before the event… once announced, the guests were all very giddy!

Cakes displayed on the night were: Hidden Treasure Cake, Pieces of Eight Cake, Chocolate, Cherry and Rum Cake, Pirates of the Caribbean Bundt, Mississippi Mud Cake, Rum and Molasses Cake.

Some of the cakes displayed in July’s CCC

FROM CALVERLEY TO KENYA (Via Rawdon & Ingleborough) Two Calverley friends are taking on a big day of challenges to raise funds for a trip of a lifetime to Kenya.

Teenagers Millie Griffiths and Emma Swearman , both 15 and pupils at Benton Park School, Rawdon, will be spending four weeks next summer digging waterholes for elephants, helping build classrooms and climbing Mount Kenya, the second highest peak in Africa after Kilimanjaro.

To make the experience happen they have to raise funds to go towards the sustainable projects they will be helping - all their airfares, food and accommodation will be paid for separately by income from jobs they’re undertaking on top of their GCSE studies.

The young adventurers have already got the support of outdoor pursuits expert Mick Ellerton who is manager at Cowling's High Adventure Outdoor Education Centre near Keighley.

Mick is giving up his time to help raise funds by leading them on a Mega Challenge Day on Saturday, August 31. They will be climbing up and scrambling down Ingleborough before putting on caving gear at Selside and entering Long Church through to Alum Pot. They will then squeeze their way through the narrow Cheese Press and other awkward gaps before abseiling down the Dolly Tubs and the Greasy Slabs.

Mick Ellerton said: "When I heard about the wonderful community work Millie and Emma are going to be doing in Kenya I really wanted to

help them make it happen. Going out to a different country and getting a feel for new experiences at their age is a fantastic opportunity that will shape their future.”

Millie, who has already raised £800 for the Alzheimer's Society by cycling through seven Hebridean islands in as many days, said: "We're really excited about Kenya and Mick's challenges we can't wait to get started."

Anyone wanting to make a donation can do so by calling in at any Skipton Building Society branch quoting “Millie and Emma Go To Kenya”.

GOODBYE GERRY & EVELYN Horsfordians will know Gerry and Evelyn Ingham, or if not, will certainly have seen evidence of the fantastic work they have done in and around the community.

Gerry and Evelyn are now leaving Horsforth and asked us to include the following note: Evelyn and I are moving out of Horsforth to pastures new at Filey (Finally retiring). We will be leaving Horsforth in Bloom and our gardening endeavours at Horsforth Central Methodist Church.

I would like to thank you for all the support and news you have given us through ‘Covered’ it is an excellent publication and you do Horsforth proud.

I would also like to thank all the businesses and groups in Horsforth who responded to my call in the last few years to enter the Leeds in Bloom Competition and support the Horsforth in Bloom Group.

Together we had more entries than any other Township and had some excellent results placing Horsforth firmly on the map in this competition. We wish them all well in the future and every success in future competitions.

Regards, Gerry and Evelyn Ingham

Finance Matters Options and Futures.

Editor Chris Barnham investigates financial issues that may affect the residents of this area.

Diving in the Maldives? Camping in Provence? Or maybe Skegness beach with a bag of chips?

Over the summer most of us try to enjoy a bit of a break from our working lives, possibly taking one of the options listed above.

A WEALTH OF EXPERTISE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Have you given any thought to how your situation might be if your holiday was without a definite end?

A holiday that could well last at thirty plus years almost as long as your entire working life? How would you want to spend your time then?

There is nothing wrong with a good old bag of chips, or Skegness necessarily, but for myself I would like to be able to have some choice as to how I spent my time. I'd certainly like to know that I was not completely limited to local trips because of financial considerations.

The fact is that setting up a plan now will have a positive impact on your future. This might mean paying into a pension for the tax reliefs and growth potential, but it might also mean investing regularly in ISAs or other vehicles. A realistic assessment of your needs can include the need to have options available maybe fifty years from now.

The point is that your future depends on the choices you make. If you earn more than around £25k and you're not putting aside £500 a month then you are in danger of neglecting your future happiness.

So be positive about making your choices now, or it could be that the only chips you'll see in the future will be the ones resting on your shoulders.

NEWS FROM SAFE HAVEN The archer aims his arrow at a very specific target; God’s aim is to reach those who need him and only those. If the arrow fails to reach the target it is spent and lost. If the trail it leaves behind is unseen who will know the way forward as the land is farfetched and unnerving.

You know an arrow by its point but the point is do you know from where it comes, it has no story to tell except that it was sent. To whom/by whom?

The question arises would you go if you were sent or would you sit idly by and watch the out of control train hit the speed barrier at 90mph and kill everyone in its wake? The process of elimination leaves us surprised at just who is left to help those in need.

Does a breadbasket fill itself or does the task lie with us? Safe haven has decided to go all the way

to alleviate poverty and neglect, we will carry the can, we’ll fill it and we’ll pass it on to those who need it. Will you in your plenty give to those who have nothing or will you wait for the kingfisher to swoop down and steal it from under your noses, it does happen, you know?

The necessary gifts have been given for you to choose one of them and decide on a course of action. Choose to give, be kind, give generously, understand that it was never yours to keep, but to share generously with your neighbour and your friend. They are as close as that!

HORSE SENSE ON THE ROADS

by Carrie Emmerson

I’d like to make a plea to drivers. I have ridden for 25 years. Over the years I have stabled horses on Scotland Lane, Horsforth, near Roundhay Park, also in Morley and across the Aire Valley. I returned to Scotland Lane last year where I now keep one horse; Ellie, we have been together over 10 years.

Fulfilling your passion for horses

Hit your brakes......

In the first half of 2013 I have had four incidents involving vehicles on Scotland Lane between my stables and the bridle way which is on a 60mph country road used as short cut to Leeds and Bradford Airport. One incident was so serious it was reported to the police – a taxi struck my leg whilst passing far too close and fast on a blind bend.

I am currently working with Cllr Dawn Collins (Horsforth) and many local residents to put pressure on the department of transport to look at preventative safety measures on Scotland Lane to keep horse riders, cyclists and walkers safe on this stretch of road – some drivers treat it like a race track. Sadly, there is a lack of protection for riders across the entire city but because riders do not use their horses to commute to work I feel that we do not matter to the transport departments.

Drivers, please bare in mind that horses are free thinking ‘flight’ animals - pass horses wide and slow, and if a rider asks you to slow down or stop they are doing it for their and your safety! Listen to them please. There is no legal requirement for riders to have insurance on the roads so if you hit a

horse with your car, you will have to take care of the repairs. The horse, often a person’s best fried, will likely find a collision fatal.

Horse riders have no legal right to use public foot paths or to go across private land and therefore use the roads to exercise horses. I would also ask riders where possible to be courteous to other road users I know it is not always possible to take your hands off the reins but to nod as a thank you is better than nothing.

We all have a right to use the roads so let’s all treat each other with respect and dignity that we would all want. I would urge all riders to report any incident no matter how minor on the British Horse Society website http://www.horseaccidents.org.uk

Musical End to the Year for Iveson It was a busy and very musical end to the school year at Iveson Primary School, LS16.

The school, which always encourages children to be creative and to take part in extra-curricular activities, held three events – giving pupils the opportunity to show their talents to the world.

The school ran an ‘Iveson’s Got Talent’ competition, the final of which was held in front of a large audience of parents/ carers, staff and children. This was won by the youngest entrant, Louis McConville (aged 7), who, inspired by dance acts he has seen performing on TV’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, choreographed his own routine which took him to the top of the scoreboard, winning £30 of shopping vouchers.

The club, led by Ruth Saxton a Year 3 teacher who is also the Chairperson of the National Association for the Teaching of Drama, had been rehearsing since early Spring and their per for mance was stunning as a result. Sam Michaud made a charismatic ‘Joseph’ and the two joint narrators, Jinan Hamaway and Codie Bahar, impressed everyone with their singing. There was also a memorable performance

by Sameer Ali, who played the Pharaoh in traditional ‘Elvis’ style complete with white suit and dark glasses.

Next came the talented Year 4 who have been taking violin tuition one for afternoon a week this year.

They showed off their newly acquired musical skills Headteacher Mrs Diana Mann told Covered “It has been a whirlwind end to the academic year. We have in front of the school and their parents/carers. had so many things going on and as always we have The Pièce de résistance however was the Drama been so impressed by the talented children we have Club’s performance of ‘Joseph and his Amazing at Iveson who have sung, danced, acted, made music and also made everyone really proud.”

Message from NEVER FORGET! Horsforth Town Council

“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose”.

Throughout our lives we all have to deal with loss and many of us wish to do something to celebrate the lives of those who are no longer here.

The Council was delighted to support the Brownlee – Stone Family Sportsday in Hall Park on 15th August. Our Leeds City Ward councillors embraced the Golden legacy of our Olympians, inviting everyone to celebrate and try new sporting experiences with activities including Martial Arts, Netball, Gymnastics, Hockey and a Triathlon.

The Council continues to consider ways both to preserve and to develop the image of Horsforth. The work of the Planning Committee will carry these efforts to another level. In July the Neighbourhood Planning Working Group, part of the planning Committee, got the news from Leeds City Council, that the application from Horsforth to work on a Neighbourhood Plan has been granted. The Working Group now want to work with local organisations, volunteer groups and the whole of the community to find out those ideas and wishes that residents want to see for Horsforth‘s future. If you would like to get involved, please contact the Clerk for more details.

Horsforth in Bloom Group and the Council await the result of this year’s judging. We all know how difficult a year the weather has been for gardeners and thank the efforts of all those volunteers who have worked so hard. As always, the In Bloom group is supported by the Community and Environment Committee. The Public Safety Committee continues liaison work with the Police, the PCSOs, and Pub Watch to monitor and develop strategies to promote all aspects of safety in Horsforth.

There are many activities in the coming months – the Rembrance Day Parade in November and the Switch on of the Christmas Tree Lights on the first Saturday in December.

St. Gemma’s Hospice’s sponsored walk is a great opportunity for you all to walk in memory or celebration of someone special to you. Whether that person had contact with St. Gemma’s or not, you are invited to join them for this special event.

The 5 mile sponsored walk will take place on Saturday 21st September at 10am in and around the beautiful Temple Newsam estate and this year there will be an activity along the route that children can get involved in to keep them entertained.

So let’s get together and Walk in Their Shoes. Visit www.st-gemma.co.uk or call 0113 218 5505 to book your place. Entry is free, you are just asked to raise as much as you can for the Hospice. A free t-shirt will be handed out to all participants at the event which can be customised with who you are walking for.

Cancer Charity Appeals for Key Volunteers Marie Curie Cancer Care is appealing for someone in the local LS16 community to volunteer to take on key roles within a new fundraising committee that will meet on a monthly basis. The roles that the charity is specifically looking for are a Community Ambassador, Event Coordinator and Event Helpers.

Community ambassadors would need to give up a few evenings every other month to go into schools, associations such as rotary clubs and churches to speak about the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care and its team of dedicated nurses does and how people can access this care.

An Event Coordinator would be responsible for planning out the group’s event activities, generating ideas from the group and delegating out actions such as booking venues and sourcing raffle prizes.

Event helpers would be needed to help at the group’s events every couple of months – with duties such as welcoming guests, helping serve refreshments and preparing rooms for events.

Hannah Saxon Community Fundraiser told Covered: “We need people with a broad range of skills to help us with our local fundraising activities, from people with the gift of the gab right through to organisers who can come up with event ideas. We also need as many helpers as possible, so if you think you’ve got a couple of hours a month that you’d be able to give to a worthwhile cause please get in touch.”

All money raised by the group is to provide high quality nursing care to terminally ill patients, totally free, in the local area.

If you think you have a few hours spare every few weeks and would like to get involved with the fundraising group, please contact Hannah Saxon Community Fundraiser for West Yorkshire on 01274 386190 or email hannah.saxon@mariecurie.org.uk
