Vintage in the Park

The ever popular Vintage in the Park is back on Sunday

20th July, 12-4pm at West Park,

Originally inspired by their friends at Howden Vintage Day four years ago, they wanted to showcase the 1920s’ heritage of West Park with music, stalls, food and dancing.

Now it’s become a firm fixture in the FOWP (Friends of West Park Goole) calendar to bring the whole community together.

It’s not just about embracing the past, but also looking to the future, as next year Goole celebrates its 200th birthday. They are hoping to raise awareness of this amazing milestone and encourage more volunteers to come help celebrate at West Park.

Vintage in the Park is a free event, but they’re grateful for any donations to help them continue

putting on events and activities.

Goole

Music is on the bandstand from vintage DJ Paddy O’Kaye and 1950s’ rockabilly band Pete and the Panthers.

There will be various displays, food and stalls from the community, charities and vintage goods. Look out for their wonderful array of classic vehicles too.

You can also learn more about local history from Goole Civic Society, Boothferry Family History Group, Goole Museum and more.

East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club are kindly marshalling the cars once again. Pre-book via www.eytcc.uk/events-calendar/vintage-in-thepark to confirm your car space or email events@eytcc.uk. Vintage cars preferred.

West Park Cafe will be open and weather permitting the mini garden centre will be too. Whether you grab a picnic and relax or dust off your dancing shoes and come and join in, there’s something for everyone!

Georgina Petty, Chair, FOWP, told Our Goole: “I organise events, handle social media, correspondence, collaborate with local community groups, fellow volunteers and the council to pull all the details together. It’s a team effort; we couldn’t do this without the enthusiasm of our small but committed group who make up FOWP, from local park lovers to councillors, community group members and more.

“We’re particularly grateful to Patrick Killgallon aka Paddy O’Kaye who has championed this event from the beginning. It is a lot of work but seeing smiling faces on the day makes it all worthwhile.

“As Vice Chair of Goole 2026 community group, I’m looking forward to building on this event for an even bigger celebration next year, so please get in touch if you’d like to be part of the fun, contact: friendsofwestpark@outlook.com.

So if you are looking for something fun for the whole family, why not head down to West Park on Sunday 20th July and support some of our great local groups and the fantastic work they do. Admission is free!

These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in.

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Warren Ingleson explains:

‘Our watchwords are Quality,

Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford. Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.

lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’ So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or

FROM A POLICE PERSPECTIVE:

Night Challenge winners announced

This month, Goole Policing Team talks to us about the annual Night Challenge Awards that took place in May, where participants were invited to celebrate their achievements alongside their friends and families

Hosted by the Community Safety Unit on the 2nd May, the evening was an opportunity for our event hosts, and the young people who took part, to say thank you to everybody who got involved in the evening, such as the event sponsors and volunteers.

This year, teams walked nearly 13 miles across Brantingham Dales whilst completing several thoughtprovoking challenges set out by our partners along the way. The aim is to build positive relationships between the police and young people within harder to reach groups across our communities. This year’s theme focused on discussions around healthy relationships, coercive control and violence against women and girls.

Each team is marked on well how they worked together as a team, including their communication skills across the night and how well they tackled the tasks together based on feedback from the challenge providers. From this, everyone was rewarded with a certificate and voucher for their commitment to taking part, with the top three teams winning additional prizes.

This year’s overall winners, were ‘Girls Aloud’ from Goole Youth Action who have won a trip to Mount Cook Adventure Centre in the Peak District.

After handing out the awards to the winners Chief Constable Chris Todd said: “It is fantastic to see so many young people here tonight and well done to all involved and for completing Night Challenge. Seeing how the event has had a positive impact on everyone involved is amazing, and I hope that by you taking part it has sown the seeds of something that may lead you to join the police.

“Everyone who has been involved has achieved something and it creates resilience, so if you ever think you can’t achieve, look back at Night Challenge and remember you are taking steps towards your future. I encourage you all to take advantage of those who have supported you so that together we can take the steps needed to make positive changes.”

If you are from an organisation that works with young people who you feel would benefit from being involved in Night Challenge 2026, please contact us at: NightChallenge@humberside.police.uk.

Local Personal Trainer Reveals “Boring” Yet Shockingly Effective Exercise

Are you interested in living a long, healthy, and happy life?

If so, read on.

My name is Phil Tyreman, and I am a personal trainer who lives in Goole with my wife and three children, and over the next few issues I am going to explain to you some straightforward ways to get stronger and more in shape.

But first...

I have a confession to make

A large part of the reason I am doing this is pure self interest. It is my hope that you will be so impressed by what you read that you decide to learn more about my methods by subscribing to my free daily email newsletter. And then, maybe, decide to buy one of my books or even work with me personally.

However.

I am also writing these articles to genuinely try and help out in whatever way I can. You see, I have discovered that emergency admissions for coronary heart disease and heart attack are both significantly higher than the national average among Goole residents, as is the incidence of cancer.

More:

Life expectancy is lower here than the England average for both men and women

Obviously, this will not do. Yet I’m not going to sit atop my ivory tower and demand everyone immediately begin training with the same discipline

and intensity as I do because that would be silly.

That said, I am not going to let you off the hook altogether. Because there is one simple form of physical exercise almost anyone can do so long as they’re willing.

And it is?

Walking!

Every day, without fail for at least half an hour but ideally an hour or more.

Boring?

Usually.

Effective?

Without a doubt.

It goes without saying you must never do exercises (including walking) that hurt or make an existing health problem worse. Those caveats aside, walking daily is, potentially, a gamechanger irrespective of age and fitness.

Alright, that shall do for this month.

Thank you, Phil Tyreman

This month, local property expert Phil Jones from Link Agency talks to us about

The importance of digital marketing when selling your property

Link Agency has fully embraced the digital revolution in the property selling space.

Using specialists who create social media content we have benefitted from promoting our brand and the properties that we list through multiple channels on a variety of platforms, which they have access to. We thereby are able to present our properties

to a wider market. So that as well as the regular Rightmove and Zoopla audience we also are able to put properties in front of thousands of potential buyers who are not really looking to move. This works especially well for unique or individual properties such as our property of the month. We even achieved 16,000 video views alone, with the potential to encourage interest.
