The event was originally started to bring new audiences to the town using our passion for motorbikes. We believe it is one of, if not the best, one day events in East Yorkshire. We feel it really puts Hornsea on the map.”

Once again there will be a ride in for motorbikes and trikes from Hornsea Garden Centre at Sigglesthorne. Bikers can meet there from 9am setting off for Hall Garth Park in convoy from 10am starting to arrive into the park at 10.15am. There is a minimum donation of £1 per rider for the ride in, which will go towards the event charity. The ride in usually sees hundreds of bikes and trikes driving through the crowd lined Market Place and Newbegin into the park, which also hosts the motorbike parking. Hornsea Lions will once

again be providing secure storage for helmets and bike gear just look for their mini marquee at the park.

There will be bike related stalls, a craft tent and fairground in the park as well as entertainment stages. The live music starts on the main stage at 11.30am with Jack Scantilly followed by Revolver at 12.30pm, Fallen Fields at 1.30pm, The Mount Pleasant Experience at 2.30pm and finally The Jackdaws at 3.30pm. Meanwhile on the variety stage Bradley Royce will perform at 10.40am, Kelly Weller at 11.10am, Dave Spore at 11.50am, King Biscuits 11.30am, Lynette Cone at 1.10pm, Elderberries at 1.50pm, Kamikaze Pilots Reunion Club at 2.30pm, 2 dead dogs at 3.10pm. Leqeroy at 3.50pm Jazz band at 4.30pm. There will also be a bike show with various categories of motorbikes and trophies awarded for the winners.

The event wouldn’t be possible without the sponsors which include 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre, Longbeach Leisure Park, Annie Plant Hire, Intergear, Our House Estate Agents, Hornsea Garden Centre, Seaside FM and Trevor Prescott.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance is the event’s charity this year. The air ambulance is expected to land in the park for this year’s event for people to visit, this is subject to not being called out to any incidents at that time. The Biker Event has raised over £17,000 for charity since its inception in 2015. One of the main event fundraisers is the annual raffle. This will be drawn at around 4pm at the variety stage. The first prize is a hot tub with

other prizes including a bbq set and three activity away days. Raffle tickets will be on sale on the day and also in advance online at www.hornseabikerevent.org.uk priced at £1 per ticket.

School holiday lunch help from local café

CAFÉ Eden on Southgate in Hornsea have launched a summer holiday offer to help struggling families. Despite only opening their doors for the first time over the Jubilee weekend, owner Rachel is keen to support the local community where she can. They are offering a sandwich and small sausage roll for only £1 for school age children. Rachel explains: “There has been lists posted on social media of chains offering deals for children in the holidays although they often have a minimum adult spend. Asda did one that was just an offer for children which I thought was great but then we don’t have one in the town. We have four children of our own and I now how costly the school holidays can be. We decided to offer the same for our customers with no required adult spend.”

After posting the offer on social media Rachel’s customers stepped in and helped further with 100 of the lunches already paid for by customers so 100 children can have the offer for free. Rachel added: “I hope it catches on with others in the area. I don’t mind if the same children come daily if it means they have got out and been able to do something.”

The offer is available between 11am and 1pm on the days they are open which are Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The support for those in need is in Rachel’s family as her father Derrick is a retired Union Pentecostal Church Minister and offered a free meal for those in need back at Leigh-on-Sea where he has retired from. Rachel had helped in the kitchen preparing the meal back then too so had seen the benefit.

Councillor Jefferson disappointed by work on La Grande Motte Garden

EAST Riding Ward

Councillor Barbara Jefferson has been left disappointed by the work done at the La Grande Motte Garden on Hornsea’s South Promenade.

Cllr Jefferson explained: “The fencing has come down and the grass cut around it. I was disappointed it wasn’t ready for the jubilee weekend. There were dangerous slabs in the garden and coastal communities funding allowed these to be

removed and a new path surface applied. I would now like to apologise to the residents of Hornsea as this path is far too dark and doesn’t match the rest of the seafront scene as was supposed to be the case. It will need removing and redoing as we are not accepting it as it is now. It will look lovely when it is completed.”

WORK IN PROGRESS:

The Grande Motte Garden on Hornsea’s south promenade is a work in progress

Hornsea Collective launched

A NEW group has launched in Hornsea with the aim to raise the profile of Hornsea independent businesses. Called The Hornsea Collective the group is designed to run alongside all other existing plans by Chamber of Trade, East Riding Council and Hornsea Town Council to promote Hornsea as a retail destination.

Talking about the idea Charlotte Eldred one of the group founders explained: “Together, we have established the ‘Hornsea Collective’ which is open to all Independents / Small Business owners in Hornsea and the surrounding areas. We have created a logo, and set up an Instagram page @hornsea.collective”

The idea is that by joining the Hornsea Collective businesses are committing to supporting fellow

independent small businesses in order to raise the profile of Hornsea as a retail destination. This includes using the hashtags #HornseaCollective and reposting or liking other independents’ posts on social media, in a supportive and positive manner.

Charlotte added: “The provisional plans will only work if everyone commits to supporting them. There will be on-going collaboration to ensure peoples’ views, suggestions and ideas are able to feed into future planning however if you sign up to the Collective it is expected that you are agreeing to support the current plans in place to the best of your ability. if everyone does a little, no one has to do a lot!”

In the short term to the end of 2022 The Hornsea Collective

Instagram account is running a ‘Meet the Maker’ post highlighting one of the businesses. There will also be informal meetings organised for Hornsea Collective Members every few months, to share good practice and discuss issues people are facing as independent businesses.

There will be a Hornsea Collective Marketplace on August 26 and 27 which is open to all independents to apply for a stall and will run on the Friday 6pm – 9pm and Saturday 10am – 4pm with entertainment, food and drink at Hornsea Town Hall.

There will also be a second Marketplace on Saturday, November 26.

There is not currently a membership fee to join and you can find out more by emailing: HornseaCollective@gmail.com (including your name, business and email address.)

IT’S BEEN an exciting and eventful year for our local youngsters attending Limelight Art’s Academy. Since returning to the action following the pandemic, the inclusive stage school has delivered a number of fantastic achievements.

In December 2021 the team presented ‘Jungle Book’ on stage at The Sports Complex in Leven. With several members hit by COVID, Children stepped in and took on roles last minute to make sure the show still went on!

The this May they hosted Limelight’s first cohort of LAMDA acting examinations. 100% of the students passed with distinction, the highest grade achievable. Joe Jenny, Noah Bloomfield, Sam O’Mahoney, Maisie Rice, Anya Pottage, Charles Jackson and Elsie Jackson were thrilled with their amazing results.

This July the academy showcased a selection of scenes, songs and dance routines which students had been rehearsing in their drama and musical theatre lessons. Again the team presented their talents at the brilliant Sports Complex in Leven. The academy can’t praise the venue enough for their friendly and helpful

services (big shout out and thank you to Malcolm).

In June, limelight Arts Academy was delighted to be invited to perform on stage at the Skirlaugh Jubilee celebrations. Russel Fallon, local performer and event’s organiser praised the talents of the students stating: “they were amazing”.

Currently, limelight’s very own Charles Jackson is filming on location for a successful CBBC TV series. After being signed for at least three series of the popular kid’s show (which can’t be named until it airs later this year), Charles is said to be really enjoying his experience, even his on set tutoring!

Lisa Marie and Amy Jackson, (limelight’s founders and lead tutors) are beyond proud of all their students and their achievements: “It’s been overwhelming and we absolutely love our jobs. The support we’ve had from our families and the community has been fantastic”.

Limelight Art’s Academy will be ploughing ahead with their efforts as the year continues to unfold. They will be hosting a series of fun and expressive summer school workshops, including a special ‘Panto in a Week’. These workshops are

In September the drama, musical theatre and acting classes will continue. Very competitively priced, Limelight aims to provide a service on par with the bigger stage schools in our neighbouring cities. With many similar provisions charging up to £36 a week, Limelight classes have kept their prices as low as possible: “We want as many children as possible to be able to tread the boards and learn new skills! It’s not just about performing, the skills our youngsters gain are valuable on many levels. We always make sure if a child wants lines in a show they get them. We pride ourselves on nurturing talent at every level. Theatre should be fun and expressive. Every child attending our classes gets their moment in the Limelight.”

Anyone interested can find details on the Limelight Arts Academy Facebook page. The team can also be contacted through the Facebook page.

Annual art exhibition returns

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 and there are over 20 artists taking part.

Active Beacon Photopost Project launched to promote the East Yorkshire coastline and help monitor coastal erosion

East Riding of Yorkshire Council have launched the ‘Active Beacon’ Photopost Project, a joint initiative with the University of Hull’s Energy & Environment Institute, which is linked to the global CoastSnap programme.

With strong links to the Blue Health agenda, the Photopost Project takes advantage of our blue spaces to improve active recreation, physical activity opportunities and mental wellbeing, through the development of connected and accessible infrastructure. Residents and visitors are encouraged to explore the East Yorkshire coast’s iconic locations, whilst capturing hidden gems on camera. A series of artistic wood turned photoposts lead the way, offering connected trails and wayfinding, with opportunities to support coastal monitoring of the landscape through the University of Hull’s ‘Active Learning’ programme and free citizen-led science.

Taking inspiration from historic coastal landmarks, these sympathetic active beacons can be explored across a number of locations on the East Yorkshire coast, building links to the future rollout of the England Coast path throughout 2022 and beyond, including trails at:

• Sewerby to Bempton

• Hornsea

• Withernsea

Spurn Point

Visitors can set out on a linear route to take in a cluster of posts, map their own circular route, or try and complete them all and cover the East Yorkshire coast. For a full list of routes, visit: www.visiteastyorkshire.co.uk/things-to-

do/active-beacons-coast-photo-postsp1619071

Also look out for a series of led walks as part of the Active Coast ‘Explore’ offer www.activecoast.org and within the Walking East Yorkshire Festival in September www.walkingeastyorkshirefestival.co.uk

Photoposts ‘Active Beacons’

The photoposts have been manufactured and designed by Galvin Brothers of Beverley, with each one holding information plaques and QR codes to direct users to further information on the wider project. Users are encouraged to take photos and upload to social media using the hashtag name listed on each beacon.

The locations for each of the 26 posts can be found by using the what3words app (downloadable from the App Store).

What3words is an easy way to identify precise locations with every 3m square, given a unique combination of three words (this is called a what3words address). All what3words addresses are easy to say and share, and as accurate as GPS coordinates.

University of Hull’s ‘Active Learning’ Programme

The ‘Active Learning’ programme aims to:

• Develop a free citizen science led beach monitoring initiative that supports and data collection of our changing coastline

• Build a visual timeline of the changing landscape by observing seasonal changes and gaining a better understanding of coastal erosion, natural habitats and the environment

• Integrate environmental education

opportunities and promote awareness of protecting our coast to local schools, young people and families

• Build a community database that provides new insights on coastal responses to changing weather and wave conditions and extreme storms.

• Support research with the ‘Yorkshire Marine Nature Partnership’ into how our marine ecosystems link with other elements of our coastline, including heritage, tourism and industry

Find out more about the Active Learning Project on https://activelearning.hull.ac.uk/

What is CoastSnap?

CoastSnap is an international programme, initially developed by the University of New South Wales (Australia), that is used to gather data on coastlines and to engage the communities through a citizen science approach, allowing individuals to engage with measuring how beaches and coastlines change over time. Visitors are able to take photographs with smart phones which will enable them to capture a valuable and consistent record of the beach/coast state, which can then be uploaded and shared via the CoastSnap App and/or social media channels.

£2.7m scheme for Hornsea Mere to help reduce flooding

A £2.7M PROJECT is to be carried out at Hornsea Mere to reduce flooding and improve water quality at the site.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has secured the funding for the go-ahead of the Hornsea Mere Water Level and Water Quality Scheme.

Hornsea has suffered from multiple flood events over the past 15 years, most notably in 2007, 2012 and 2019.

The scheme aims to mitigate this risk and reduce the risk of flooding caused by future severe rainfall events.

The project will see the construction of two wetland lagoons along Foss Dyke, which will store flood water during periods of intense rainfall to reduce the risk of flooding to homes and businesses in the town.

In addition to the flood risk benefits, the scheme is also aimed at improving water quality to both the Mere and downstream watercourses through the sensitive design of the constructed wetlands.

This will create new habitat, improve local biodiversity at the site and enhance the environment at the Mere, which is a key local visitor attraction.

The council has already carried out a comprehensive technical study which

included flood risk and innovative water quality modelling.

Following the submission of a business case, the scheme has been awarded £2.7m of Flood Defence Grant in Aid funding from Defra, administered by the Environment Agency. This is in addition to contributions from both East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Natural England towards the feasibility study.

For the next stage, the council will engage with key project partners and the local community as part of the development of the scheme and the detailed design process.

Subject to planning permission and obtaining the necessary permissions and consents, it is expected construction will begin in early 2024.

Hornsea Mere is the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire and is privately owned - by the Wassand Estate - but it is a public amenity and flooding has badly affected the town.

The Mere is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Protection Area, and all designs and construction will meet special sensitive standards.

Climate predictions suggest that flood events, such as the ones

experienced previously in Hornsea, are likely to happen more often in the future.

Councillor Chris Matthews, the council’s

through walking, running and cycling following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for economic investment, growth and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “During the pandemic our beautiful East Riding Coastline became increasingly popular as residents and visitors to the area looked to increase their physical activity levels whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery.

“The ‘Active Beacon’ Photopost Project looks to continue to promote this whilst also using the opportunity to monitor the serious issue of coastal erosion using the wooden art installations. I would encourage visitors to the coastline in the upcoming months to take part in the project and discover the stunning views on offer.”

Katie Parsons, lead researcher at the University of Hull, said: “These photopost installations along the East Riding coast combine getting outdoors with learning about our wider coastal environments and monitoring how they are changing over time.

“The project makes everyone with access to a smart phone a mini-scientist, collecting important data on coastal erosion processes through to the longer-term changes resulting from sea-level rise.”

Partners

The project has been supported and funded by a wide range of partners including: Visit East Yorkshire ERYC Health & Wellbeing Team (Active

portfolio holder for environment and climate change said: “This is another example of a fantastic flood scheme to be delivered by the council.

“I am especially encouraged that the scheme will provide additional

environmental enhancements to improve water quality and biodiversity at the Mere. “Once complete, the scheme will reduce flood risk to many properties in Hornsea and I look forward to seeing the scheme progress over the coming years.”

YOGA CLASSES FOR KIDS

AMY Quick is a relative newcomer to Hornsea having moved here last year with her husband and two children to be nearer to family. Amy had her own business in Leicester teaching yoga to children and

has now opened yoga classes for kids in Hornsea. Amy is fully certified, DBS checked, insured, council registered and has a certificate allowed to work with children in addition to a first aid qualification. Now up and running in Hornsea the yoga sessions for five to 12-yearolds take place at the Sacred Heart Church Hall on Football Green. The sessions are held on Tuesday evenings during school term time with around 10 boys and girls

attending each week. Amy said: “Yoga is very beneficial for children particularly in the areas of non-competitive exercise, breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation techniques to help mental health and wellbeing. It also helps co-ordination, balance, strength and flexibility and gives the youngsters attending the tools to cope with stress, anxiety and worries.”

Amy would like to get yoga onto the school curriculum giving all schools in the UK access to yoga and is hopeful

in the future this might happen.

From September Amy is hoping to expand with a toddler’s class (Pre-school, 34 years) so look out for more details. During the summer holidays Amy is doing a summer special one off session on Friday, August 12 from 9am to 12 noon at the Sacred Heart Church Hall and is taking bookings now on 07821 541060 or Facebook: Yogi Club or Email YogiClubbers@hotmail.com

Is the bug in the driving seat?

THE REAL driver of our economic outcomes will be the virus and its impact here in the UK and globally for instance in China that produce many goods and parts that we rely on for our businesses and

homes. The virus is affecting workers and work activity going forward driving our government policies to deal with the outcomes. Other major world disruptions such as the war in Ukraine, unrelated to the virus,

will further complicate the picture.

When millions of ‘little things’ do not work as well as they have in the past, then it is ‘sand in the gears’ of growth. The inability of a car component firm in China (due to their zero-Covid policy) to deliver a simple wire harnesses essential in car manufacturing, can lead to a shutdown at an auto plant in another country. All companies providing inputs to that plant suddenly find they are unable to sell their

products. The problems spread and such supply chain disruption can have magnified impacts on employment, output, and prices, these are not easily repaired. The intricate network of outsourcing and trade relationships is very vulnerable to disruptions.

In the UK disruptions are still widespread, it is reported that the recent surge in Covid has had significant or moderate negative impacts on businesses. Of those impacted by the surge, over 70% reported a negative impact on sales. A few reported a

favourable impact, the balance reporting no impact. For almost 40% the impact was significant or moderate.

Work attendance has also adversely impacted 64% of the owners who reported staff problems, 45% of them reporting a serious or moderate impact on attendance. This in turn has a large impact on the working team especially in customer service. The workforce who turn in for work, require respect and a little more understanding, as they do their best at challenging times.

Almost every company has staff vacancies making it very difficult to expand working teams. Added to this over 80% reported supply chain disruptions with over 50% of them reporting significant or moderate loss of sales opportunities.

Adding to all of these ‘direct’ effects, the impact of government Covid regulations on businesses, makes it obvious that the virus is driving our economic activity. We hope the bug is not in the driving seat for long.

Leven and Brandesburton Horticultural Show takes

Dizzybirds Crafts

Hello there, my name is Lis murphy, and I am the owner of Dizzybirds Crafts.

We are situated at 37 Market Place in Hornsea overlooking the busy roundabout, between the Victoria and the Rose & Crown. It's been a while since I have taken the opportunity to advertise in the Community News, but I wanted to let everyone know what we're about, so what better way to do it?!

You may not know this, but as well as offering a great range of crafting products, including the big names like Sizzix, Tim Holtz & Stamperia, there's is a whole host of classes available to choose from. These vary from papercraft, mixed media, basic sewing classes (hand and machine), felting and journal based makes. The classes start at just £9 and include refreshments and all materials. More involved classes/workshops tend to be on a Saturday, perhaps you might fancy something a little more challenging? In addition to this, our very own Tamar Simpson offers Mosaics and Lino printing workshops, but the numbers have grown so much for these popular workshops, they have to be hosted at the

Inshore Rescue on the seafront. The majority of classes are on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday, and are for grown ups, either beginner or advanced.

There's been a little move around inside the shop, classes are held to the rear of the shop, and a huge Aladdin's cave of crafty goodness is available to browse at the front.

Best of all we like to offer you a warm welcome, and can provide help and advice on our products too. Have you always fancied trying a particular craft, or just looking for fellow dabblers to spend a cheery few hours with?

I must say I am very proud of the little community of kindred crafty spirits that has grown here, and not giving a nod to the past two years or so , where

we have all faced some uncertainty, would be silly. Small businesses are facing their biggest challenge yet, and we are grateful to be a part of the Hornsea Collective. Their aim is to raise the profile of Independents, and small businesses in the local area, and create a strong and supportive community. Our high street is unlike many, and Hornsea is a great retail destination.

We do hope you will pay us a visit, or check out our Facebook and Instagram, or better still sign up to our newsletter!

place on Saturday, August 20 at Leven Sports Hall. Schedules are available from Leven and Brandesburton village shops or by calling 07769 038916. The show opens to the public after judging at 2pm with a chance to browse the entries and enjoy tea, coffee and cake.

The fourth Hornsea St Nicholas Horticultural Show is the last locally of the summer and takes place on Saturday, September 3. For schedule information contact 07376 616182.

Make It Shine Special Educational Needs (Sen) Project update

WE HAVE received a few enquiries from people asking for information about Make it Shine. Well here goes……

We are based in Aldbrough and we are a charity which holds free interaction/ educational days for our home educated SEN children and their families. As a charity we also donate to other SEN cases where we feel we can make a positive contribution.

Our interaction days are at the Pavilion in Sproatley and during these days, enthusiastic committee members will volunteer their efforts to create engaging and stimulating activities for children and young adults. Alternating weeks, the charity will host activities led by qualified experts. Those attending will learn about science, sport, German, arts and crafts, cooking, healthy diet. lifestyle and nature and environmental issues. These visiting teachers come at a cost so we are looking for generous individuals and local companies who feel able to sponsor one of these

sessions which we anticipate will cost in the region of £50 each. Alongside these events, keen members of the charity and committee will provide an enjoyable learning environment.

These interaction days are designed to help SEN children to become more social within a learning environment which caters for them through understanding and patience.

At the heart of Make it Shine is Hazel who works tirelessly organising, fundraising, setting up our interaction days, arranging activities and a million other things. She is an inspirational person with a heart of gold. We also have a group of hard working volunteers with fully involved local patrons and sponsors.

To ensure the continuance of the interaction days and support for the parents of our SEN children Make it Shine needs to raise funds and this is a never ending quest. We have collection tins in many local venues and regular events including the annual summer fair, Easter bunny

OUR Green Apple is a rapidly expanding skin care business created by Hornsea resident Caroline Granville. Having moved to Hornsea six years ago from Keswick Caroline and her two children have felt welcomed by the town. Having lost her husband to illness two years ago Caroline had several difficult years looking after her husband and motherin-law who had dementia and also sadly passed away. Our Green Apple was initially created by Caroline in response to their illnesses and encompasses natural skincare and wellbeing products which helped her husband and motherin-law in their final years.

Caroline now produces a large range of natural skin care and washroom

products at affordable prices. The products have proved very popular with several winning national awards including the Natural Body Care Company of the Year for 2021 /22.

The luxury foot balm also scooped an award for footcare product of the year in 2021.

All the Our Green Apple products are certified – the right terminology is UK CPNP/CLP Compliant and Cosmetic Safety Approved. The products are sold locally in Leafy Seadragon and at The Potteries. They are also given as welcome gifts by Luxury Staycation based on the Hadrian’s Wall route.

Caroline offers bespoke gift sets wholesale / trade and exhibits at many fairs. She is also hoping to do workshops in the future.

MP visits Hornsea Inshore Rescue

HORNSEA’S independent lifeboat and rescue service have been visited by local MP Graham Stuart. A long time supporter of Hornsea Inshore Rescue, Mr Stuart was keen to see the recent innovations and plans for the future. He was particularly interested in Chair Sue HicksonMarsay’s plans for further exciting developments of the Hornsea Boat Launch, which is operated by Hornsea Inshore Rescue. Especially the initiative to turn the long flat roof of the Boat Launch building into a cafe terrace for the public. Mr Stuart was shown an artist’s impression

and was updated with the progress so far. Sue said, “Graham was very impressed with our plans and offered his full support for the project which would be very beneficial to the town providing lots of opportunities for social events as well as bringing in much needed funds for the rescue service.”

Hornsea NCI busy schedule of summer events

By Andrew Garvey

THE LOCAL show season has commenced and NCI Hornsea have had or plan to have a presence at most events. So it is a busy time for our fundraisers and recruitment teams.

Our programme kicked off with our attendance at the Leven Festival in late June. The event was well attended and it was great to be able to meet and explain the contribution NCI makes to looking after folks enjoying the sea and our lovely coastline. We used our tailormade exhibition gazebo as the focus for our exhibit and provided games for the younger visitors and information panels to aid our explanations of our work.

Our next outing was at the recent Hornsea Car Show, where the same format was used, with a couple of bright yellow members sport cars along-side the gazebo in acknowledgement of the

show’s theme. The event was well attended and we got to speak to a couple of new volunteers and chat to a host of people. It was great to see so many old-timers in attendance (and I don’t mean people!!).

On July 24 we enjoyed a joint celebration on the promenade outside the watch station. We were celebrating NCI’s birthday and the fourth anniversary of the station in Hornsea going live. A team of watchkeepers were there to

chat to passers-by and the ‘Lets sing Hornsea’ choir performed a selection of songs that included a number of sea shanties.

Through this busy period we have continued with business as usual at the station. As the numbers of visitors increase, our focus is on the beach areas and in particular observing inflatables. They are frequently the cause of incidents as they are so light they can be blown out to sea

with just the slightest breeze blowing.

The station's recruitment programme is in full swing and I am pleased to report we have attracted a steady stream of volunteers.

In conclusion, can I remind readers of the information point at our station that provides details of tide times, essential if you are considering walking along the beach and other safety advice and information. Enjoy the summer!

HORNSEA COASTGUARD TEAM RECEIVES DEFIBRILLATOR

MINUTES really do matter in the event of a cardiac arrest. It is why lifesaving defibrillators are being put into some of the most remote UK communities, thanks to frontline maritime emergency search and rescue service, HM Coastguard. Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) are now in HM Coastguard’s vehicles and in its stations, creating the largest geographical spread of all the emergency services. It adds extra life saving capability at emergencies and can help people in some of the UK’s remote communities.

AEDs are also in all other buildings belonging to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, including marine offices around the UK, adding extra protection for employees in the event of heart-related ill health at work.

Dr Paddy Morgan, HM Coastguard’s Medical Director said that the introduction of AEDs can help people in local communities, as well as for coastal incidents: “Minutes really do matter in the event of a cardiac arrest and having rapid access to an AED can make a significant difference to the chances of someone going home to their loved one or not. Working with our partners in the other emergency services, we have become an integral part of the network that reduces the time to effective defibrillation

for people in our communities in an emergency,” he said.

In a coastal emergency always dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard. For non urgent enquiries call Humber MRCC on 01262 672317.

Laughing Gull Comedy Club

There’s a late summer treat in store at The Laughing Gull Comedy Club show on Friday 26th August at Floral Hall, with three headline-quality comedians lined up. Tickets go on sale at the café counter from Monday 1st August. Opening the show is Tony Vino who specialises in very funny but non-offensive comedy and is particularly in demand for family-attended shows on cruise ships…a refreshing change from Roy Chubby!

Middle act is Dominic Woodward who also doubles as ‘Wacky Woody’ a magician at children’s parties. Dom

has had one of his observational jokes about a conversation at a Tesco’s checkout go viral, some very clever ideas here from a great act. Headliner is the flamboyant but enigmatic Duncan Oakley who started out as a virtuoso lead guitarist in a rock band: he has since introduced harmonica, banjo, and body percussion to his act, and performs original comedy songs, hilarious parodies, and daft visual puns. We suggest you buy your tickets well in advance, as we sell out very quickly.

All profit from the comedy club goes back into Hornsea Floral Hall

Books needed

We are running low on books for our book room. If you have any fiction books or biographies/ autobiographies, we would be delighted to have them. All funds raised go to Floral Hall.

Criticism!

Just recently there have been a variety of negative comments on social media regarding events at Floral Hall.

To clarify, the only paid staff at Floral Hall are the Site Manager and the staff who work in the café. Everything else is run by volunteers.

Volunteer numbers have dwindled since the pandemic and there is a small group of very committed volunteers who do everything else.

The Club Nights finished because they were not viable economically and volunteers decided not to work until 4am each Sunday morning.

Tabletop sales finished because of the reduced number of tables being hired.

The Comedy Club no longer serves pies as we could not recruit the staff to serve them.

The Sunday carvery lunch closed due to staffing issues.

It is dispiriting to those who still volunteer to be criticised by those who do not choose to volunteer their time but expect others to do so. Be kind!

Hornsea Lions update

By Mel Watson

SUMMER has arrived and things are definitely beginning to ‘hot up’!

The shop has been busy and that's before the main influx of visitors for the school holidays.

We have a busy schedule of events coming up over the next few weeks. By the time this article goes to press, we will as usual have played our part in supporting the Carnival. In addition to appearing in the parade and having our tombola stall in the park we have sponsored one of the main events for £1000.

On August 6, the Lions District are holding their annual fun and sport day for the disabled in Doncaster. We have supported this for many years. We not only provide a couple of stalls with interesting games, but we also take a party of local disabled people with their carers in our minibus to the event. They take part in the various games and are given a lunch meal. It is an amazing day, open to the public. It’s heart warming to see so many disabled people enjoying themselves in friendly competition and having a fun day out.

Soon after that, the now famous Biker Event takes place in Hall Garth Park.

Once again, we have our tombola stall and we also provide secure facilities for the bikers to leave their jackets and helmets so they don't have to carry them around all day.

On September 2 we have booked the Beverley Male Voice Choir for a concert in the Methodist Church (see poster). Obviously, because of Covid, we have been unable to hold this event for a couple of years. The concerts have proved very popular in the past, so we are hoping for a good turn out this year.

On September 11, we have once again organised a trip to Scarborough for our primary school aged children (see Poster).

The 200 Club is still doing reasonably well but is always keen to enrol new members. Membership forms are available in the shop. The cost is £12 per year.

Thankfully, we are finally able to hold our twice yearly social event in the Ex Servicemen’s Club on Wednesday, August 17. It is a good night, with free bingo, buffet and live entertainment.

The winners for June are: £40 (131) Sandra Welford £30 (134) Julia Beadle £20 (90) Hazel Taylor £10 (81) Muriel Coates

We have made a few donations recently:

● The Lions District put out a Ukrainian Appeal some time ago and we gave £1000. The District appeal total is already in excess of £100,000.

arduous undertaking for any volunteer. We certainly wish them all the best for their year and obviously offer them all our support.

Unfortunately, we are losing our outgoing President Pauline Spensley and her husband David. Not only from the Club but also from the town. They are moving back to West Yorkshire for family reasons. We will certainly miss them. They have both worked tirelessly at the helm of our Club and seen us through some tricky situations. They will also be sadly missed as hard working volunteers at the Floral Hall where they have been involved for many years.

We all (Lions and volunteers) wish them all the best for the future and hope that they have a happy and peaceful life ‘out west’. Thanks for everything you have done in the town.

On a final note, we want to offer our congratulations to Keith Twigg on being awarded the BEM in Her Majesty The Queen’s birthday Honours list. It is really very well deserved. He has always been a good friend and supporter of the Lions (even though he is a Rotarian!) Keith was the recipient of our own Ken Bell Award in 2019.

Hornsea Rotary Club present Music Festival trophy

HORNSEA and East Riding Rotary President Keith Himsworth was on hand to present the ‘Rotary Club of Hornsea and East Riding Trophy’ at the Hornsea Musical Festival held in the United Reform Church.

The winner was Shelley Walsh from Sheffield who sang two pieces, one in French and one in Italian, to win the trophy in the Class E8 Light Music Solo - Open - any Voice (1970 onwards).

Shelley came to Hornsea especially for the music festival and wowed listeners with her performance.

President Keith said: “this was my first public duty as President in presenting the new trophy and I thank Shelley for her performance”

and her accompanist

● Following a request from Denys Fell, we gave £1000 to cover the costs of transport and food for a visit to Densholme Farm at Hatfield by Ukrainian Refugees. This is being arranged through the Welcome Centre in Hull.

● Hornsea Primary School requested help with funding 30 pupils to take part in several sessions of the ‘Run with It’ project, we donated £1500.

● We also had a second request for funding from the school. Many of the pupils had written their own requests for help with purchasing a number of recycling bins for the school grounds. They emphasised that they wanted to help the planet and be green. We gave them the £1100 they needed.

● Hornsea Brownies needed help to cover the costs of badges, materials and a special trip for the girls. We gave them £1200.

July 1 marks the beginning of our fiscal year so we have a new Lion President and Vice President. We welcome President Joan Gales and Vice President Jean Robinson.

Being president of such a busy and active club with a shop that operates six days a week is quite an

Hornsea Scouts - Taking it for the team!

1ST HORNSEA Scout Group held a summer fair fundraiser on Saturday, July 16. This was primarily led by the scout section in an attempt to raise money for a County Camp in Austria next summer.

Humberside Scouts are organising the event but each place is £795. The scouts came together to brainstorm how they could fundraise to help towards this cost.

The Summer Fair is just one of their ideas, the fundraising was kicked off with a tombola at the Jubilee celebrations, then there was a stall at Hornsea carnival where they raffled a Ninja CREAMi, ice cream and frozen dessert maker, worth £200. This amazing prize was kindly donated by Shark Ninja UK. The stall at the Carnival was kindly being sponsored by Our House Estate Agents.

The summer fair was well supported by the public and we raised over £700 in just under four hours!

This will of course benefit the whole group but a proportion will go to the

scouts Austria trip for their initiative and hard work organising the event. They gave up their time looking after stalls and rallying the public on the day.

Special thanks must also go to our fabulous community for supporting us with prizes for the raffle.

We need to thank the newly established Hornsea Collective Initiative which includes The Townhouse, Charlotte Eldred, Botany Boutique and The Painters Daughter for their prize donations

Other local independents also gave generously - The Lovely little Shop, Leafy Seadragon Refill, Bemora Wellbeing Hub, Sweet Sensations, Robinson’s Newsagent and Kevin Bond Hairdressing.

Local artists also kindly donating prizes were Kate Jordan, Nutmeg Pottery,

Finally

Well

splat the rat.

Thanks too to all the parents and helpers

As the photo’s show it was a fabulous fun day enjoyed by all who attended. There’s plenty more fundraising in the pipeline too so watch this space!

Cash boost for millions of workers as government backs new law to ensure all staff keep their tips

MILLIONS of UK workers will be able to take home more of their hardearned cash under new legislation, backed by the government on Friday, July 15, banning employers from withholding tips from their staff.

Despite most hospitality workers, many of whom are earning the National Minimum Wage, relying on tips to top up their pay, there are still some businesses who fail to pass on service charges from customers to their staff.

The Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill, introduced by Dean Russell MP and backed by the government, will ensure that all tips go to staff by making it unlawful for businesses to hold back wellearned service charges from their employees.

This overhaul of tipping practices is set to benefit more than 2 million UK workers across the hospitality, leisure and services sectors who tend to rely on tips the most. It will also help to ease pressures caused by global inflation and an increase to the cost of living.

298 (HORNSEA) AIR CADETS TAKE UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR WEAPONS TRAINING AND FLYING

JULY has been busy so far for Hornsea Squadron. Being part of such a prestigious national youth organization, there are many opportunities to participate in training at other venues throughout the UK.

Three of our cadets (Corporal Ayrton, Cadet Milner and Cadet Close) attended Weapons Training at 739 Scarborough Squadron, where they were taught weapons handling and safety drills, then coached through some target practice.

They also had the chance to meet cadets and staff from other areas

Flight Sergeant Seal, Cadet Milner and Cadet Whitehead enjoyed a flying day at RAF Leeming on July 7. Following a briefing, they were each taken on a flight in a Grob Tutor 2-seater training aircraft where they were lucky enough to take the controls and have a go at flying. At the end of the flight, they enjoyed some aerobatics including nose dives and barrel rolls. At the end of the day the cadets achieved their `Wings’ badges and were presented with certificates.

Air Cadets is open for young people aged between 12 and 19 years and at Hornsea we meet

on a Monday and Wednesday evening 7-9.30pm. We are also very keen to recruit more adult volunteers either as uniformed or civilian staff to support the running of the squadron and oversee the activities undertaken. For more details please visit our Facebook page Hornsea Air Cadets Public or visit https://298atc.org or call 07922 110905, or the unit at Pasture Road on 01964 532083.

Poppy Appeal

By Rob Andrew

THIS year’s Poppy Appeal is starting in earnest, and as always of course the two weeks running up to Remembrance Day are hectic. Good news, the British Legion wrote to us a few days ago to thank everyone in our area for the splendid work carried out by our volunteers and contributors, raising a magnificent £17,898.40. Even by my own workings out this equates to around £1 for everyone in our area. A huge thank you goes out to everyone. Now enough of dwelling on what we all achieved last time, we now need to look forward to topping last year's total in 2022, so to do that we need volunteers, yet again to man the stand in Tesco, and even one or two people to distribute boxes to established outlets in the area. If you think you can offer a little of your time, bear in mind that the same as last year Kev Jackson and I will be arranging a get together around the beginning of October. More details will follow in September and October's edition of the Hornsea News. Thank you all. Rob Andrew 07966178719.

DAIRY OF A HORNSEA GIRL

By Rob Andrew (Alexandra’s Grandad)

SOME new and exciting events are starting to occur in Alexandra's life. Firstly a major stepping stone in any child's life, starting nursery school, at Farmyard Friends in Mappleton. Though appearing to be a little worrying for her at first it is proving to be a huge success for someone born during the Covid outbreak, where contact with people outside her immediate bubble was strongly curtailed. She's making up for it now with lots of new friends, adventures galore and new toys to dismantle. As was expected we saw a few tears at first, but there seems to be a danger now of her favourite words (Mummy, o-oh and Grandad) being supplemented with 'nursery' after her twice weekly visits. How quickly do they grow!?

In the last six months or so we have been blessed with the arrival of two new grandchildren; William, born to Julia and Joseph and a sister for Alexandra, Gabriella. William Robert is looking like he's heading towards emulating his Dad, a big strong boy who wouldn't surprise us if he were to follow

in his father’s footsteps as a rugby playing firefighter. Then we have Gabriella, who is in my experience the most laid back child I've ever known. Waking up only to feed, before falling back to a contented sleep. Though her laidbackness (if that's a word) could have been surpassed when Dad Chris and I took Alexandra on the back of my bike to the playground at Skirlington, along the very bumpy cliff top and fields, and yes she too fell asleep in my suspension free child seat. Good job she was securely strapped in so that the only damage was to my back as she blissfully lolled about, with the bicycle helmet bashing into my back. Bless her!

This month’s photo combines her love in this order of ice cream, slides and Grandad.

who enjoys driving and has a D1 on their license, with a bit of time on their hands – whether it be one day a week, a month, or just now and again – please do get in touch.

HART staff really value the time that volunteers so generously give, and volunteers often find that giving their time and any skills they can share along the way is extremely rewarding. 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.

So if you feel you could help make the lives of the residents in our community a little easier, please give HART a call and arrange a chat to discuss the way forward. The number is 01964 536684.

Hair, Beauty and Aesthetics

From a disused bank premises to a state of the art hair, beauty, tanning and aesthetic clinic, transformed by business owner Lisa Wadforth. Lisa’s dream premises have been transformed thanks to her husband Adie, GL Joinery and local decorator Paul Naylor. To celebrate the move and show off the state of the art facilities a grand open evening took place on Saturday, July 9. Visitors enjoyed a first peak of the transformation accompanied by stilt walkers and fire breathers while enjoying bubbles and canapes.

Lisa commented: “Thank you to each and every one from the bottom of our heart. The support we’ve had through these difficult times has been incredible! We wouldn’t be able to do this without our supportive customers. This is

going to be next level special for you all to enjoy.”

Lisa’s team have joined her at the new premises along with new apprentice Ellie, holistic therapist Lesley and new team member Lauren who is offering 20% off all hair services booked with her throughout August.

Pure Aesthetics have proved a success story despite opening in the middle of a global pandemic. Previously based at Southgate Court the business has now expanded and relocated to their refurbished town centre premises offering a huge range of hair and beauty services carried out by specialists under one roof.

Lisa has now worked in the medical industry for over 10 years, working alongside top cosmetic surgeons in the UK. She describes her passion as

to: “enhance natural beauty” and her main aim when opening the clinic two years ago was to bring affordable glam to Hornsea being the first non surgical aesthetic clinic to open in the town. The services Lisa offers include lip, cheek, and jaw enhancement and botox. The Pure Aesthetics team offer everything from hair extensions to blow dries and gel nails to lash extensions. Harmony treatments also offer a range of holistic treatments from the clinic including reiki and hypnotherapy to oracle card reading and crystal chakra balance – taster treatments are also available.

Luxe Aesthetics also visits the salon once a month and offers Microblading / Combination Brow, Non Surgical Rhinoplasty and Lip Blush.

Hornsea Carnival 2022!

HORNSEA Carnival took place over the weekend of July 22 to 24 after a two year break due to the pandemic.

The parade returned through the town by community groups including the Hornsea Mermaids swimming group who formed during the pandemic. This year’s Royal Family –The Wilson’s judged the floats together with Hornsea Mayor Councillor Stephen Prescott and his Mayoress Jo Hancox. First place was awarded to Hornsea Youth Club with an Alice in Wonderland float and the best costume also went to the mouse in a teacup on their float which was Maisie Motum. The Youth Club members had made the decorations for the float and costumes over the last few months. Second place went to the Hornsea Mermaids and third place to Hornsea Community Primary School.

The community tug of war saw Hornsea Fire Station retain the title for another year as they beat a

strong Hornsea Inshore Rescue side.

The winners of the treasure hunt competition were in first place Sonia Loudon, second place the Stokes family and third place Vicky Kell.

Reflecting on the carnival Chairman Iain Poole said: “It was great to see the town and carnival so busy. Lots of businesses benefitted too with one saying it had been their busiest weekend to date.

“We were blessed with nice weather for the return and everything we arranged went very well. The music tent went down a storm and we received great feedback from the traders.

“A big shout out to all the people who have supported us and our amazing volunteers including the marshalls.”

The Carnival Royal Family were the Wilson’s and mum Georgina speaking on behalf of the family commented: “Wow, what a

weekend! We were honoured to be chosen as the Hornsea Carnival Royal Family and certainly made the most of experiencing as much of the carnival as we could. Starting our weekend with some Greek food and crepes followed by the fabulous fireworks on Friday night. We then got up early on Saturday for a trip to New Beginnings for a pamper, they even rolled out the red carpet for us! Judging the parade floats was the hardest job, there were some fantastic entries so huge well done to all who made the effort to get involved. Driving the parade route was surreal with so many people to wave to! We then enjoyed a few drinks and the live music in the afternoon and a wander around the stalls, returning for a lively evening in the music tent on Saturday night. Sunday we enjoyed the fairground, although just the smaller rides for us! Watching the stunt bikes and the three guys with their Curiosities

show were both very entertaining. We finished our weekend with the presentation of the Tug of War Trophy to the Local Fire Brigade and the draw for the Treasure Hunt winners.

“I think its safe to say we made the most of all that was on offer. And it is definitely a weekend of memories for us as a family to look back on in years to come.

“We’d like to say a special thank you to Iain and the team for the huge effort they put in to ensure the weekend was a success. It was amazing to see it so busy and everyone having fun. We can’t wait for next year!!

Councillor June Greensmith added: “As the Hornsea Town Council representative for Hornsea Carnival it has been an absolutely privilege to be part of the Carnival Team over this last year. Iain Poole led the team of 10 volunteers from the front, this group have worked

tirelessly meeting and overcoming challenges along the way. And now they get to do it all over again for next year which I’m reliably told will be bigger and better. If you are thinking of joining this group please stop thinking and just join, they need your help. And I promise you, it’s fun all the way. On the Sunday I volunteered to stay at the Town Hall in the afternoon to look after the Storm Troopers, wow… it was like being on a film set! The Carnival Committee kept them and me fed with lovely food supplied by The Food Shop (my favourites were the spring rolls and samosas).”

The carnival this year cost approximately £32,000 to put on with 10% of this being insurance and included within it also the licenses for the various live music played over the weekend and various fundraising events will commence in the coming months in preparation for the 2023 carnival.

Litter pickers keep the park tidy during Hornsea Carnival

TEAMS of litter pickers have helped to keep the town tidy for the Carnival weekend.

Some of the Hornsea Brownies got together to do a litter pick of the park on Sunday afternoon after the events drew to a close. They did this in conjunction with CLiPS with borrowed equipment from Plastic Free Hornsea. Brownie leader Georgina Wilson commented: “A lovely touch at the end was the ice cream van lady was just leaving and pulled up and treated them all to a free ice cream! Made their day!”

HUG Volunteers teamed up with Hornsea Walking Netball to join in with the Carnival Parade on the Saturday but as well as rattling collection buckets they litter picked along the route. Councillor June Greensmith who is also the Chairperson of HUG commented: “There were waffles for my granddaughter as a reward for all her effort in

trying to fill collection buckets with her two new friends Evie and Georgie. Andy and I opted for Chip and Gails, sat on a benches outside Hall Garth Park Gates and relaxed before returning to spend the most part of the day emptying bins of litter and my days there was plenty to deal with. Thankfully Paul Hartley, CLiPS and HUGgers all joined in which meant Hall Garth Park litter was kept under control. A special thanks to The Brownies and Pam Curtis who came to the rescue on Newbegin - thank you Pam.

“Sunday, after opening up the Town Hall (no early alarm this morning) kicked off with a litter pick and watching Hornsea Harriers Fun Run. Monday morning 6.30am was a final check by HUG Rubbish Walkers (that’s me and Paul Hartley) on Hall Garth Park. The Brownies led by Georgina Wilson and

joined by, Paul Hartley and CLiPS did a good job on Sunday night so there was not too much litter for us to sort on Monday morning.”

Heald partners with Hornsea School & Language College to deliver STEM Challenge

YORKSHIRE security manufacturer, Heald Ltd has delivered a STEM challenge to long-standing education partner, Hornsea School & Language College (HSLC) to enhance the understanding of the scope of manufacturing careers.

For the challenge, Heald developed a six-week-long STEM challenge in which they briefed students on a ‘real world’ project scenario to identify which of Heald’s products would be best used for an installation.

Students were provided with technical information on Heald’s products and insights into HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation), along with fictional locations that required perimeter protection. From this, the students undertook research and put together a presentation on which products they would use and why, taking into consideration the installation challenges for each location.

The winning team consisted of George, Conal and Harvey who delivered a well-thought-out plan backed up with research including ground and satellite views of the locations needing perimeter protection. In their presentation,

they considered the type of product, challenges with retrofitting in the built environment and the budget.

The winning team were presented with a trophy and cash prize, with two runner up teams also benefiting from a cash prize too.

Matthew Knapton, STEM pathway lead HSLC said: “The Heald STEM Challenge was a fantastic way for students to engage with a local STEM company in a unique and exciting way. Working closely with Heald was a great chance to promote STEM careers available to students from HSLC. It helped open the student's eyes to what occupations are available right on their doorstep and encouraged them to find out more about these opportunities.

“The project itself was designed to challenge students in a way they would not be used to working in the classroom. Throughout the project, students developed their teamwork, problem-solving and organisation skills to design an effective solution to the problem posed. The biggest challenge to the students was the open-ended

nature of the project. This is an unusual way of working for the students and forced them to be innovative with their solutions. On a number of occasions, teams were stuck or did not know what to do but came up with their own answer to the problem. It was great to see students work successfully together in ways much more common in industry

than in school.”

Heald Managing Director, Debbie Heald MBE added: “We are extremely proud of our longstanding relationship with Hornsea School and Language College. Providing young people with real-life insights behind the scenes of a manufacturing operation is vital to bringing more talent into the industry.

“The quality of presentations from all students who took part in the STEM challenge were exceptional. We look forward to continuing to work with HLSC and their students.”

WINNERS: Will Compston, Head of Sixth Form presenting the winning team with their certificates.

Hello again from Hornsea and District u3a

By Chairman, Jane Hardman

I know it’s a cliché, but- doesn’t time fly? I am writing this the weekend that the Big Heat is about to start- it will have been and gone by the time you read this, so I hope all the sensible precautions we are being advised to heed were taken and you have safely come out at the other side of it! I remember the summer of 1976principally because it ‘s the year I got married, but also we had a Big Heat that summer too. Everyone carried on pretty much as usual, with the occasional “Phew, it’s a bit hot!” thrown in. It was before the time that we routinely used sun cream in this country and a relatively small portion of the population went on holiday to hot destinations so we genuinely weren’t accustomed to the heat. However, most people coped without all the helpful advice from the Powers that Be (who ever they are). I also remember 1976 well because we were painting our first house white, and we had a plague of ladybirds. So we had a house that was white with red and black dots.

The u3a has been busy again, with all our groups meeting as usual and having our monthly meeting in the Floral Hall. The meeting was about the Dogger Bank Wind Farm which was more interesting than it maybe sounds. We had two visitors from the company working on this vast project: Roger Birchall who is a geophysicist. (If you watch Time Team you will have seen the way this works). He is the project geophysicist at the Dogger Bank using his expertise in project collecting and interpreting data. Rachel Lawrence is the Community Engagement Manager for SSE Renewables, the company installing the windfarm.

Roger told us about the Dogger Bank, which is about sixty miles off our coast, and how it was once a land mass connecting us to the rest of Europe. By doing his geophysical magic he has located places where there were once lakes, found bones, and even evidence of fires. His main job is to determine the best place to sink the mast of the wind turbine, and how deep it needs to be, so he has to locate any boulders that could be in the way and arrange for them to be moved. A daunting task in deep water. He was also at pains to assure us that marine life is taken very much into account when choosing the site, and consultation is made with the people in the know about this.

The turbines being used are enormous and have to be transported on specially built vessels.

We will not be able to see this wind farm, but some of you will have noticed, and may have been affected by, the cable laying involved to bring the electricity to shore. Roger helps to map out the route for the cables under the seabed using his geophysical wizadry. One of the landfalls is near Ulrome and is going to a convertor station near Cottingham, with a similar thing happening in Teesside.

It was a very interesting talk on a current hot topic. Oh, sorry- back to the weather again!

We do not have a meeting in August, although many of the groups keep going through the summer: our next meeting is on Tuesday September 6th, 10 for 10.30 at the Floral Hall. Our speaker is Annie Holmes whose talk is entitled The Life of a Registrar. Don’t forget, you can come along to our meeting as a taster session to see what you think before making a commitment to join up. Also, if you were a member and haven’t rejoined for whatever reason, why not look in and remind yourself why you joined in the first place. We would love to welcome you back. Do have a look on our website: hornseau3a.org where you can find details of our meetings, groups and other information about us and the u3a in general.

The main group do not meeting in August so the next monthly meeting is on Tuesday, September 6th at 10am for 10.30am in the Floral Hall.

With speaker Annie Holmes who talk is entitled ‘The Life of a Registrar’.

Hornsea Hub –have your say

By Ann Underwood, Forum member

AS LIFE gets back to 'normal' and we learn to live with Covid it is important to look after health and mind so East Riding Leisure Hornsea staff are keen to develop courses and activities to encourage everyone to join in the community spirit of Hornsea Hub.

Members of East Riding Leisure Hornsea Forum contribute to the smooth running by feeding back ideas and suggestions for improvements through the Forum.

Stuart Armstrong (Centre Manager) welcomed the Forum Group for the first time since the reopening. The Forum will meet twice a year – usually for a working lunch. We would like to welcome representatives of Hornsea Hub users to the group and now that includes the Children's Centre and the Library as well as the swimmers and gym users. If you are interested in joining the Forum please speak to Stuart or Jo Nicholson (Assistant Centre Manager) or share your thoughts and ideas with Forum members.

School summer holidays provide the opportunity to have activities aimed at young people and this year there is funding from HAF (the Holiday Activity and Food Programme). Any child receiving free school meals is entitled to a free sit-down meal, drink and piece of fruit. HAF is funding a Mini Medics First Aid on Wednesdays 9.30-12.30 for children between 7-11 although the age range is flexible. There have been lots of news reports about youngsters following similar courses being able to help family members in trouble so this explicit new session has potential to be very useful.

HAF funding is also supporting a collection of sports and team activities included in the Football and Multi-Sport Programme 2022 on Mondays 1-4 pm (football, badminton, table tennis, curling, boccia and lots more). Whole families are also catered for in this initiative with Saturday morning Family Fun and Soft Play sessions (9am-12pm). On offer during the week as well are free swimming lessons between 8am and 10am plus a free food parcel and a free swim pass throughout the block of lessons.

A new adult activities programme has been planned and thanks to representation from Forum members, (after listening to breathless Mums who have raced from school drop-off) the sessions will be starting at 09.15am to take the pressure off making the start of the session. This is important as access to sessions is gained by swiping your card (it is called telepen access) to get into the activity room and latecomers will not be able to get in!

There will be a 'Let's get moving' course offered starting in July aimed at encouraging people to come along and join in centre activities, Mike AudsleyStratton (Coordinator) told the Forum about this new scheme running on a Tuesday 1pm–3pm. The first hour will include seated activities and then a more social hour with playing games and quizzes. This scheme is running for 6

weeks as a free trial to begin withfor any age and including those with long term illness we hope that it will offer friendly support and help overcome loneliness.

Mike also told the Forum about the Friendly Group which is running once a month on a Wednesday 2-4pm again with a 2-hour slot and a similar programme to 'Let's get moving'. Aimed at Carers and for people suffering with Dementia it is an opportunity to meet up with others on a regular basis.

The general public is welcomed to the Cafe Vibe and it is hoped that, in response to comments, that there will be more tables available outside. The toilets in this area are also available to the public (so don't forget your membership card and you will be able to use the LC facilities as well.) The Cafe is also a 'fixed water point' where people can fill up their water bottles. Although things are still settling in, the number of catering staff has been increased which will help in a speedy and efficient service.

The new centre has more disabled facilities. There are still areas that need tweaks to make them more user friendly to everyone. The slightly sloping floor around the swimming pool presents a challenge to those with difficulty in walking and it has been suggested that a rail along the poolside would help. Stuart promised that he would try to get funding and Councillor Barbara Jefferson, who joins the forum meetings, offered her support at 'the other end of the finance trail', would be following up the hand rail issue and also the possibility of an extension of the Virtual Car Park area for Hub users to be able to use Sands Lane parking as especially during the summer when parking can be a challenge. Forum members commented on how hard it is to park some days and added that they have had to phone in and cancel their session as they cannot find a parking space!

Stuart Armstrong acknowledged their comments. Cllr Jefferson has spoken to the Director and both of these suggestions have been added to the Council agenda.

Although many people use smart phones to access information Pauline Start requested a display board to show opening/closing times of the centre and the exercise class timetable outside of the building. Stuart is meeting the Marketing Manager soon and is looking at displaying more information not only at the front of the building but internally and at the back of the building.

There were other points which Forum members had been asked by fellow Centre users to bring to the meeting, some already on Stuart's attention and action sheet. Stuart and Jo welcome points and ideas at any time but often it is in general conversation that things are brought forward and Forum members, once alerted can follow these up. Please do share thoughts with us and ensure that Hornsea Hub meets your needs.

Puffin sculpture trail now live

PUFFINS have flown into East Yorkshire including Hornsea 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 a 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’.

Until 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 mini-trails.

To find out more about Puffins Galore! and to download the puffin spotter’s guide and other information please visit http://puffinsgalore.co.uk/ Paper guides are available in local businesses and at the Hornsea Library. Here’s some pictures of the Hornsea puffins from some of those who have been out puffin spotting! 1.

Coasting Along

By Justin Furapaddle

THERE is a saying that is indelibly marked on my memory and has been there unmoved since ‘infant school days.’

I do not know its origins, but the saying is:” Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.”

I was once elevated to a part in the school play when I was about seven. I was to act as a kind of talking and thinking scarecrow, but I only had the one line which was the above proverb. I practiced it faithfully but on the night in question and in front of the whole school and invited parents, I forgot it. I do remember a teacher in the wings trying unsuccessfully to prompt me, but it had gone. My moment of glory lost forever.

The proverb however lived on in my memory and in a sense was rescued from the cutting room floor because as sayings go it was not a bad one in which to base future dealings in adulthood.

I was reminded of it recently with regards to our erstwhile PM and his downfall from grace which was precipitated to some degree with by an unstated policy, of being, ‘economical with the truth.’

I suppose a couple of ‘fibs’ uttered by an MP is to be expected and the gravity of them is usually governed by their size, but the frequency of them leads inevitably to the ‘tangled web’ and trying to remember what had been said previously.

In the former PM’s case he seems to have forgotten earlier utterances and was held to account and no amount of ‘practicing to deceive’ could save him.

On the plus side I think he looks a lot more relaxed now that the worries of State have been removed from his shoulders and I am amazed at the number of candidates putting themselves forwards for the role of PM, (the final two combatants will be known by the time HCN goes to press.)

Prior to the PM’s departure a vacancy had arisen within Downing Street for an ‘Ethics Advisor.’ The former holder of the post evidently felt the need to resign having been, as he describes it, “put in an impossible and odious position.” (Hardly a ringing endorsement of the culture at Number Ten.) That job vacancy seems to have surprisingly gone unfulfilled. I idly wondered what qualifications were required of applicants. One imagines that they had to be ‘ethical.’ Something of a tall order by the sound of things.

Changing the subject but still on the issue of truthfulness has anyone else noticed that it is no longer sufficient to deny something, but that it is, ‘strenuously denied’, or ‘forcefully denied?’ This is especially so in forthcoming court cases of a salacious nature where impropriety is an issue. Surely a simple denial should be enough because to accentuate it smacks of earlier lies being used by the accused who is now telling the truth. Strenuously of course.

Continuing the subject of language and titles I suffer enough from music festivals dominating the airways and now added to all that screeching there is the constant referral to ‘HEADLINERS.’ How the commentators seem to be fixated on this

word and joyfully grasp at every opportunity that presents itself to repeat it. It is only a matter of time before we have ‘The Headline Portable Loo’ and the ‘Headline Burger Bar.’

Names seem to mean a lot. Take Skegness for example. To attract more visitors to the town they have come up with a name change to ‘Skeg Vegas’ in the vague hope that the town can rival the more illustrious gambling capital in the Nevada desert. They have something of a head start in that both places are surrounded by sand and occupied by onearm bandits. Of course, Las Vegas is also noted for its, (I dread to say it,) Headline Acts. It makes me wonder if a name change for Hornsea would be a good idea. One that reflects favourably on the town’s attractive qualities. Some references to Las Vegas would be far too common for an exclusive holiday resort such as Hornsea so we would need to go in for something more invocative. I thought of Bollywood but that has already been snapped up somewhere, so we are left with some derivative such as Hornseaworld, but that sounds clumsy. Any other ideas? Something for the town council to think about as a bit of light relief from planning more speed bumps and one-way traffic systems.

On more national matters the ‘cost of living crisis’ is uppermost in many people’s lives and so-called experts having been queuing up to give well meaning advice which has been seized upon by news outlets. Whilst not questioning their motives I do wonder at some of the ’money saving tips’ being of any real value. Quite a lot was published about how cutting a dishwasher tablet in half was cost cutting! In the first place a dishwasher is a luxury item for many people, so this is a non-starter, but I estimate that most tablets cost about 10pence each and perhaps are used on just a few occasions in a week, so this saving is not ging to have any real kind of impact on the domestic purse despite the large advert pics reminding us of what a dishwasher tablet looks like!

Big savings are promised by many retailers but to get them often means spending more on things not really wanted! For example, ‘Spend fifty pounds on various cosmetics to get a ten-pound voucher.’

I hate to end this article on a sinister note but its only fair to warn of a ‘cunning plan’ that has hidden implications for future human fertility. Evidently to reduce the number of grey squirrels in the country (whose numbers are evidently growing at an unsustainable rate and are having a detrimental effect on the numbers of red squirrels,) there is a pressing need to restore the balance of nature. The solution is to mix the human ‘birth pill’ with the grey squirrel’s favourite food to make them less fertile. It’s only a matter of time before this plan is extended to humans and as a ‘birth pill for men’ is about to be revealed us males need to be wary of Mars Bars and other chocolate delicacies as to what might be hidden away under those tempting colourful wrappers! Fatherhood could become a thing of the past. You have read it first in the HCN and have been warned!

At the time of writing, we have been told to stay indoors as much as possible because of the heat. On the good side I hope this reduces outdoor music and scares off all those who feel the need to create even more heat with smelly Bar-BCues.’

Hornsea First Aid Centre update

By Rosie Bullard

THE FIRST Aid Centre is having a busy month. On June 30 we were visited by CSALS (Community Save A Life Scheme) trustees, to talk to us about what they do and to give us promotion for the free Virtual College Save A Life Course online. We recommend everyone who is able does this free online course so that there are Lifesavers in every street.

SALS is a charity dedicated to promoting the need for more people with first aid skills. This link goes to a CSALS Trustees film that they made about Hornsea First Aid Centre: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S _0d_nRnVDA

We also had a visit from Keith Lamming and David Pratt who donated to us from their recent fishing competition (See page 36). We have had two workplace students, nice young people who were keen to learn and they have both done the

CSALS course. We attaneded the Carnival and the following day, the band concert in Memorial Gardens. In August we will be at the Biker Event with injured teddies needing children to work their magic with first aid skills! Knitters out there we are in need of more knitted teddies, please contact us if you need a pattern, call in to our cabin as you shop at Tesco we are open daily from 10am until 4pm.

Summer is here and so are bumps and bruises, bites and stings, sprains and strains, sunburn and splinters etc, come to Hornsea's First Aid Centre for treatment. Finally we need, as always, more volunteers (training organised). If you need tempting we are never short of chocolates and biscuits and lately strawberries, patients are so kind and thoughtful.

Hornsea First Aid Centre is open in Tesco Car Park daily 10am - 4pm.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue AGM and awards

HORNSEA Inshore Rescue held its Annual General Meeting on Thursday, June 23 at the charity’s headquarters on the south promenade.

Chair Sue Hickson-Marsay welcomed everybody, and the minutes of the previous year’s AGM were accepted with no matters arising.

In her Chair’s report Sue pointed out what a good year the organisation had in contrast to the previous Covid impacted year. At the previous AGM Sue said HIR would strive to raise funds and never be in a situation again where it faced closure due to lack of funds. This past year, due to a fantastic push for funding, HIR were in a position to ring fence funds enabling a continuation of the service if a similar situation arose.

It costs around £50,000 a year to run Hornsea Inshore Rescue with maintenance of equipment, insurance and fuel being some of the biggest outgoings. Funding continues to be a major concern especially with costs rising so much in the last year.

Sue offered thanks to so many individuals and organisations who have raised hundreds and in some cases thousands of pounds. Special thanks were offered to the wonderful HILS (Hornsea Inshore Lifeboat Supporters) and the Hornsea Mermaids. It was impossible to mention everybody by name but the support from the local community had been phenomenal. All these people are lifesavers.

Sue then continued with plans for the coming years to further develop the organisation and its fundraising to cover the five year and 10 year plans to replace equipment including the boat and launching tractor. One major project was the investigation into opening the roof top terrace of the Boat Launch building to the public as a coffee shop and community area.

Last year the lifeboat crew had been busier than ever, saving many

lives with a variety of incidents from broken down boats, searches for missing persons, children blown out to sea on inflatables to sadly persons in the sea with mental health issues and attempted suicides.

Sue highlighted how the crew are highly trained and give up many hours of their time which includes attending essential courses to meet the standards required of every crew member. “The crew fill me with pride, every one of them bringing something to the table in one way or the other. You are brave and dedicated, keep up the good work and continue working as a great team. Remember people are still alive today because of you!” she said.

Sue finished her report by saying: “As much as the crew are in the public eye, I must take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the everyday running of Hornsea Inshore Rescue for all that you do and all of the hours you put in. It’s not an easy task.”

The treasurer’s report was accepted and elections were then held for the officers of the Committee of Trustees with John Pugh being reelected as Vice Chairman. As the Chair’s tenure is of two years at a time no election was necessary for this position. Apart from one resignation all the existing trustees were re-elected and a new trustee, Adam Collins, was elected.

The awards were then presented with The Keith and Linda Hodgkins award for Crewman of the Year being awarded to Tom Mitchell for his outstanding contributions assisting the chairman to ensure all the strict Maritime standards were met. This was very time consuming and Tom’s IT skills were very much appreciated.

The Polly Worsdale Fundraiser of The Year Award was presented to Anna Jebson of ‘Petals, Pets and Paws’ for

her contributions over a number of years from making and selling rosettes among many other initiatives which had raised around £10,000 for Hornsea Inshore Rescue.

Let’s get it sorted! Successful bag sorting trial roll out continues to more sites

A BAG sorting trial has been rolled out to five more recycling sites in the East Riding thanks to residents making it a success.

A trial was launched at the Driffield household waste recycling site in March by East Riding of Yorkshire Council to encourage visitors to sort through their bags of mixed materials that they take along to get rid of.

The aim was to make sure even more items were recycled, and thanks to residents getting behind the scheme, it led to a 3.5% increase in the recycling figure for

the Driffield site each month.

The council has rolled out the scheme to household waste recycling sites at Carnaby, Pocklington, Weel near Beverley, Airmyn near Goole, and Humberfield at Hessle.

It is due to be introduced at the four remaining sites - Holme on Spalding Moor, Hornsea, Withernsea and Preston by August.

The council is urging residents to sort their bags of waste before taking them to household waste recycling sites. Most people do that already, but some take along a bag of waste

and put it straight into the general skip.

To reach those people, the bag sorting scheme was introduced.

A sorting table is provided, with gloves, a litter picker, paper towels and anti-bacterial handwash.

Site staff direct residents with bags or boxes of waste to visit the table so they can sort through their own waste. Recycling containers for each type of item are sited next to the table – so people don’t have to travel across the site to the various skips. Items that can’t be recycled

How buying Fairtrade can help protect the environment

By John Rodgers for Fairtrade Hornsea

WITH increasing talk of a climate emergency, it seems a good time to look at what difference Fairtrade can make. In fact, environmental protection is ingrained in Fairtrade. To sell Fairtrade products, farmers have to improve soil and water quality, manage pests, avoid using harmful chemicals, manage waste, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and protect biodiversity. Here are eight examples of how Fairtrade supports farmers to survive the climate emergency and reduce their own carbon footprint.

1. Reforestation projects to store carbon

Many Fairtrade co-operatives choose to invest their Fairtrade Premium on planting trees on cleared, degraded land to prevent soil erosion and bind and store carbon dioxide.

2. Prohibiting harmful agrochemicals.

Fairtrade prohibits the use of certain agrochemicals that are harmful to the environment, and encourages farmers to reduce their use of pesticides. For example, Eakiet, a coffee-growing co-operative in Vietnam, has trained its members to stop using pesticides and herbicides. If there is an outbreak of insects, they use high pressure water to remove them. They continuously weed and prune their trees during the rainy season, when the risk of pests and disease increases.

banana producers in Peru were hit by a severe outbreak of red rust thrips pest, believed to be triggered by the climate crisis. It affected 40% of farms, and reduced exports by 30%.

A Fairtrade-promoted training programme helped farmers find solutions to the outbreak, such as increasing biodiversity and using local plants to repel the insects. By the end of the project, red rust thrips were under control, and the amount of discarded crop was at a minimum.

5. Wildlife conservation projects

Coobana Co-operative in Panama uses some of its Fairtrade Premium to protect endangered turtles that hatch on beaches nearby, by investing in a local NGO to patrol the beaches at night in the hatching season. They also protect and feed the local population of manatees, who suffer from the high levels of pollution found in local rivers

6. Fairtrade carbon credits

Companies can purchase Fairtrade carbon credits from the Fair Climate Fund to take responsibility for the emissions they produce. These credits can then be used by smallholder farmers to fund sustainability projects such as reforestation and switching to biogas stoves.

7. Switching to green energy fuels

The Cromia Co-operative has used carbon credits to equip 10,000 coffee farmers with 20,000 biogas stoves, thus reducing the use of firewood by 50%, the release of harmful soot particles by 24-45% , and carbon emissions by up to 70%. Powered by cow dung, these stoves create by-products which can be used as organic fertiliser on the farm.

8. Reducing water usage Coocafe co-operative in Costa Rica spent some of its Fairtrade Premium on a new water treatment system for processing plants. This has reduced water use from 2,000 – 3,000 litres per 225 kg of coffee to just 200 litres.

can then be placed into a site’s general waste skip.

Leaflets advising people of the new system are being handed out at each site, alongside new signs being put up. It is hoped the move will lead to more items being recycled.

During the trial at the Driffield site, the bag sorting area resulted in more than six tonnes of waste being diverted to recycling containers, which would otherwise have gone into the general waste skip.

Overall, there was 50 tonnes less of general waste collected in the

containers on site - a lot of which is believed to be down to residents sorting more waste before going to the site.

The Driffield site’s overall recycling figure was an impressive 86% for April and May, meaning 86% of all the items taken along by residents could be recycled or reused. The remainder was used as refuse derived fuel and sent to be burnt at a specialised plant in order to generate electricity. Nothing is sent to landfill.

Hornsea Museum update

By Lesley Bradshaw

AS THE new Administrator of Hornsea Museum the responsibility of writing this column now rests with me so I had better introduce myself. My name is Lesley Bradshaw and I have been a proud resident of Hornsea for the last five years, however my earliest encounters with the town date back to my art school days during the late 1980s. After receiving a first-class honours degree In Fine Art (Hull 1990) I began my working life in museums, galleries and archives (including the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the National Portrait Gallery in London), before embarking upon horticultural occupations. In accepting the position of Administrator at Hornsea Museum I now find myself, happily, returning to my first love of heritage and museums.

I have an interest in history, art, historic architecture and crafts. I own a small collection of Hornsea Pottery (primarily 1950s, 1960s pieces) and a sizeable collection of historic knitting patterns dating back as far as the 1890s.

In my new role I feel honoured to be able to work alongside the dedicated team of volunteers and trustees and hope that my contribution will be of assistance in the continuation and development of the service the museum offers to the community and to our visitors from further afield.

COLLECTIONS NEWS:

EVENTS:

Rocks and Fossils Roadshow: August 27 (11am – 3pm) marks the return of the Rocks and Fossils Roadshow hosted by Stuart Jones and colleagues from the Hull Geological Society. The Society will display specimens from their collections and invite members of the public to bring along their ‘finds’ for identification - be they fossils, rocks or minerals. There will also be a book stall selling relevant publications. This free event will be located by the iron gates adjacent to the shop. The Museum will be open to the paying public as usual.

Crafts groups

Hornsea Museum hosts two regular social crafts groups.

The Tuesday afternoon group is led by Glenn from 1pm. Bring along your current project or learn a new skill. Glenn can offer tuition in a myriad of craft skills including knitting, crochet, tatting, lace making, macrame and weaving.

The Thursday morning group meets at 10am. Participants work on their own projects and share their skills.

For further details contact the museum.

ROOM HIRE:

3. Growing

trees and crops together

This increases farm yields naturally, as the trees provide shade for crops and when the leaves fall and decompose they make the soil more fertile. It also enables diversified food production and helps improve families' intake of nutritional food.

4. Climate emergency adaptation training.

Fairtrade promotes training on climate crisis mitigation for farmers. For example, in 2013 organic

Deforestation for firewood is a big issue in Ethiopia, where 46% of felling is due to daily energy needs. Many people cook over an open fire which is both harmful to the environment and to health.

Want to know more, or interested in getting involved in promoting Fairtrade in Hornsea? If so, you'll find us at the Green Fair, being held at Hornsea United Reformed Church on Saturday 10th September. This is an all-day event where many different groups with a concern for the environment will be represented. Pop in any time to see what's happening.

Our latest acquisition is the donation of one of Marion Campbell’s stylised animals. The black fox is an example of her work hitherto unrepresented in the collection and as such is a very welcome addition. Brought up on a farm at High Skirlington, Marion Campbell became a Hornsea Pottery designer between 1954 – 1957.

The Museum’s Education Room may be hired for meetings and events from £25 for a half day and £50 for a full day. Please contact the Museum on 01964 533 443 for more information.

VOLUNTEERS:

Have a spare few hours? The museum is always looking for new volunteers to carry out a wide variety of activities from object cleaning, cataloguing the collections, front of house, gardening and maintenance or for those with a more theatrical nature playing the role of Victorian cook, washerwoman or teacher during our interactive Victorian workshops for schools.

Alberta Canada – Part

An RAF Ghost Story by David Everard.

David lives in Hornsea with his wife Noelle. We will share a chapter of the book he has written each month so please save this page, there are five chapters in total. 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.

CHAPTER THREEI KNEW THAT FACE (part 5)

Ceymour was totally different. His willowy body was pale. He ran his fingers across his untidy hair and scratched the corner of his nose where a faint scar disappeared into his smile as he sat silently and listened. He was affectionately known as Big Ears; not that he had big cars, but because he was the Wireless Operator. I could tell he was the thinker in the crew, and very intelligent. When he asked a question or answered one, it was always thought out. He looked up at the moon that had just appeared through the clouds. "Look," he said. "My friend has come out to meet you.

For some reason I've always wanted to go there. Ellie, my wife. and I used to sit for hours watching the moon. It's funny ever since I was a kid I've dreamt of walking on it. But I guess it will have to stay a dream. just too far I guess, just too far. “No not anymore, we've been there," I said. “You're kidding me, we've actually been to the moon - we have been out of touch for a long time haven't we?" I smiled as he pulled a small photograph from his pocket. "Yeah. I'm sorry to say. but you have." "This is my wife Ellie and my son Jack. He was only six months old when I last saw him, the last time I kissed them." He sighed. “My dear Ellie, I miss her so much. It's all I've got left of them now, but I guess we can still share the same moon." He shrugged his shoulders, a tear slipped from his eve as he put it back in his pocket.

The Flight Engineer was Norris, known as Pops because he was the eldest at the grand old age of 26. I felt positively ancient as I mentioned my age. Born in France, he had moved to Canada with his father after his parents had broken up in 1932. He’d worked as a trainee aircraft designer until the Outbreak of the war and enlisted soon after. Trained as a fighter pilot he’d had an accident that stopped his flying career for two years, so he decided to become an engineer, flying on no less than seventy operations with three different Squadrons over a two-year period. Flight Sergeant Rones was sitting on the ground rocking back and forth, as though he was meditating. I turned to ask him a question. “Don't bother with him." said Gaffer. “He's a bit strange at times. He came from a preaching background and rarely talks. He sometimes just sits in his own little world, meditating. He wasn't always like this, but over all this time he has fallen further into it. I didn’t know what to think or say as I studied the back of Rones. Then thought I would have probably gone the same way. I noticed he was reading something on an old piece of paper, so I peered over his shoulder. Written upon it were these words:

"Oh' I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered

wings:

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds -and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft thro footless hall of air. Up. up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark, nor even eagle flew - And while with silent, sanctity of space, Put out hand and touched the face of God.”

The words touched every nerve in my body. Only an airman could have written it that was for sure, seeing the sky in all its glory. I asked if he had written it himself, He shook his head. "No. I only wish I had. It's Ceymour's. it was given to him by a friend who later died in his arms," he paused for a moment or so. But that's another story.

It was written by one of our Canadian pilots called Magee who was killed in action in 1941. He was nineteen.” I sat silently and thought of the words and the young pilot and turned to the lonely figure of Gennings. Thoughts of my selfishness overwhelmed me. I’d been too rash in my approach, showing off my great find, not realising the enormity of it. This pilot had been blaming himself for the crash for over fifty years and I had waltzed into the field without a thought of tactfulness. I just wished I'd done it differently, that's all.

Rones picked himself up from the ground and smiled then walked a little way into the field with me. “Calgary Gennings will be okay, we'll all see to that. He's a great pilot, you know, he didn't make a mistake." “Is that where he's from, Calgary, I mean?” "Yeah, Calgary, Alberta, hence the name of the aircraft, Alberta Canada. He's very proud of our country, as we all are. I remember when we were assigned our Halifax, HX352, he sat up all night designing his logo for the nose, Alberta Canada arched over our cherished bright red maple leaf. He stood and watched the painter at work. He was so proud, never stopped talking about it."

Rones stood silently for a moment, his expression on his face suddenly turned solemn, he then sighed. "Do you really think you can help us?” he stammered, "as I don't think we can stand this much longer.” He stared straight into my eyes, he looked so desperate. I ran my hands through my hair and turned to watched Chuck's lonely figure, head lowered at the far side of the field. “I really do hope so, I really do.'" I said and without thinking I tried to rest my hand on his shoulder, but there was nothing there, my hand just fell back I closed my eyes for a moment and composed myself then down to my side. “I promise it’ll be alright. I’Il find him." I again promised I would be back as soon as I could and walked alone over to the stile. I turned to wave but they had gone.

District Community News, Rea Best from Kitty’s Cards & Gifts and Connor from YMSH for judging our

by Karen Whitchurch

THE GRANDDOG has gone home, and we’re all a bit flat. He’s been visiting since puppyhood, and has quickly become one of the pack.

Eric, who’s a mini-Schnauzer, lives with two adults and two children who love him very much, but also quite like taking foreign holidays without him…and that’s where we come in. His first visit was a tad fraught, because he did not like the look of us one little bit, we smelled wrong, and most of all, we were not his pack. Of course we’d met, exchanged pleasantries, had a mutual sniff, and he’d even deigned to accept a biscuit or two, but nothing else. Touching was off-limits. He was simply wary (unusual in a puppy) and, apparently, just being Eric. He didn’t, and still doesn’t, like strangers, even those bearing gifts.

My two found him suitably entertaining (he passed all the sniff-tests) and perfectly okay as long as he didn’t pinch their dinners. After some initial posturing, the Pack order was established (Arlo, Top Dog, Eric, understudy, and Bo bottom of the heap) and the play-fights commenced. Eric bonded perfectly with them, but not with us. Should we approach he’d retreat upstairs and stay there, peering balefully through the bannisters, watching from a safe distance. Walks were a problem, as we had to corner him to get his lead on, and daren’t let him off until we could trust one another.

Eric is the sweetest little thing, tiny compared with my two, but feisty with it. He weighs 15lbs, and stands a mere 12” at the shoulder, but is completely his own dog. I longed to cuddle him, whilst knowing I had to respect his personal

space. When a dog is unsure, you don’t lunge, grab or push it. Calmness, and consistency are the best tools to earn his trust. However much you want to be his friend, let him come to you when he’s ready. And by day three, we’d joined the Inner Circle. He greeted us, he liked us, we were granted cuddling-rights. What swung it? I don’t know, maybe the shared walks, the dinners, the treats, having other dogs around or the realisation that the sky wasn’t going to fall in? Whatever it was, Eric’s holiday started there: patrolling the garden, chasing pigeons, barking at the postman, splashing in the sea with the others.

Trouble loomed when Eric hit full maturity and Bo (six months younger) reached adolescence: testosterone overload. There were a few shouty spats, nothing serious, but three uncastrated dogs in one household is asking for trouble. As Bo started cocking his leg up, Eric discovered females. Almost overnight, he turned into a bitch-stalker, oblivious to danger and deaf to all entreaties, fired-up to follow his chosen one home (size no problem, in fact the bigger the better) and make puppies.

In some hypothetical canine opinion-poll reading: ‘On a scale of 1-10, 1 being seldom and 10 constantly, how often do you think about mating?’ Arlo would have replied with a laid-back 3 (as long as she had a top pedigree), Bo would have registered 5 (Girls are scary. They got teeth) and Eric, a glorious 11. Hence there was only one solution. Happily, castration has tempered his desire without changing his personality.

Three of anything does change the dynamic, and it takes adjustment. Two is a good number: safe, cosy, balanced. Two kids, two weeks’ holiday, two pints of lager and a packet of crisps. Two's company, tea for two, two hearts beating as one, whereas three is often seen as odd, out of kilter: three’s a crowd, three sheets to the wind, three strikes and you’re out. But then again, good things also come in threes.

Eric’s coming back next month, and I can’t wait to pick up where we left off, sharing cuddles and adventures X three.

*Author’s note: I do have grandchildren, seven of them, and they’re great. But, so far, only one Granddog. (Oh, and a Grandcat, but she’s not really a pack-person.)

Next obedience training course commences: Tuesday, 27th September.

Metabolic Syndrome

WHAT IS IT?

The first formal definition of Metabolic Syndrome, also known as Syndrome X, was only entered in medical textbooks in 1998 but nevertheless, it is as widespread as the common cold. This is not a condition in its own right, but a group of risk factors which can cause a build-up of plaque in our arteries leading to heart disease, attack, a stroke or other conditions that affect our blood vessels.

WHAT CAUSES IT?

Whilst there is no definitive answer to the cause, experts say that it is caused by many risk factors; some of these are:

• Obesity – due to the rise in obesity levels especially in those that carry extra abdominal fat rather than anywhere else in the body

• Unhealthy lifestyle – when your diet mainly consists of unhealthy processed foods and you are not getting enough physical activity

• Insulin resistance – Insulin is a hormone that helps our body use the simple sugars from what we eat (Glucose) as energy. If we have insulin resistance the insulin doesn’t work as well so our body will keep making more and more to deal with the rising levels of glucose which can eventually lead to Diabetes. Insulin resistance is very closely linked to carrying excess weight around the abdominal region

• Medical conditions – hormonal imbalances or other medical conditions may well play a role. Conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (in women), Erectile Dysfunction (in men), Lipodystrophy (a group of genetic or acquired disorders where the body is unable to produce and maintain healthy fat tissue), having a (first-degree) family history of diabetes or having Cholesterol Gallstones are related to hormone imbalances and metabolic syndrome

• Smoking

WHO IS AT RISK?

Whilst some of the risk factors that make up this condition are out of our control; I have listed them along with those that we can do something about to give a better understanding so that we are better prepared to protect ourselves:

• Age

• Prone to blood clots and inflammation

• High blood pressure

• High blood sugar

• Browning of the skin around the armpits, neck etc

• Fatigue and the inability to focus

• Unhealthy Cholesterol levels

• Abdominal fat

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

Unhelpfully, most of the risk factors above do not have any symptoms as we are not able to feel things like high blood pressure or cholesterol levels.

The main sign that we can see is gaining extra weight around our belly but three positive signs from the list above are a good indication to diagnose Metabolic Syndrome – if you are concerned, please speak to your GP.

By Graham Janes

HOW IS IT TREATED AND CAN IT BE PREVENTED?

In short, Metabolic Syndrome is a group risk of factors that include abdominal fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugars and unhealthy cholesterol levels. The treatment for it is to tackle each of the conditions with the goal of reducing the risk of blood vessel disease, heart disease and also diabetes making changes to our lifestyle:

• Exercise – it’s really important not to start with all guns blazing on a programme that’s too tough as over 95% of people that do, give up very quickly. Instead, find a type and level of exercise that fits with your personality and one that you will enjoy. Start off slowly and work your way up by gradually increasing the activity. Don’t forget that exercise is a great way to lose weight but even if you don’t lose a single pound, it will lower your blood pressure, improve your cholesterol levels and improve insulin resistance.

• Healthy diet – by changing what you eat to a healthy diet, you will also help to improve your cholesterol levels, insulin resistance and blood pressure. If you already have diabetes, make sure you check with your GP or a registered dietician before starting a diet as you may need a special meal plan.

Look at foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol and salt – foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, beans, low fat dairy and whole grains are proven to be much better for you and help people that have high blood pressure and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

• Shed some pounds – by losing weight you will improve every aspect of metabolic syndrome and generally feel much better about yourself especially if you are overweight or obese.

• Quit smoking – whilst smoking is not a risk factor for Metabolic Syndrome, quitting will reduce the risk of blood vessel and/or heart disease.

Since the last article the clinic has seen Hannah employed as a Sports Rehabilitator - she has settled in very quickly and getting lots of great feedback. If you prefer to see a female therapist, please just let us know at the time of booking.

As always if you would like advice on this or any injury, please drop us a line and we will be glad to help you out.

Hornsea Photography Club update

By Ann Underwood

IT WAS a relaxed July meeting of Hornsea Photography Club with some new faces joining us. Sorting out the programme through to next year, confirming speakers and bookings was interspersed with discussions about what to look for when getting a new camera and software used for post-processing. July is a 'busy outdoors' month with various events taking place in the town. Club members discussed the Carnival weekend and responded to Iain Poole's request for a photographic record of the events throughout the weekend. HCN proved useful with the page advertising events and members were able to commit to various parts covering the weekend. Did you spot us in our bright jackets? We will be reviewing our photographic record during the August 4 meeting, using it as a basis for discussion about photographic journalism and maybe an exhibition of HPC members' photographs.

Our Facebook monthly photo-challenge was 'Spring Colours' and Gregg Simpson has come down from his stargazing to capture the 'most liked' header photo for June, a rose.

Submissions for July #coolcars are being collected and for those who have missed the scoring system to give us a ' most liked' score those wonderful emojis offer us:

● 1 point

● 2 points

● 3 points

The August Challenge gives you a chance to capture people having fun #FunTimes and then consider the opposite - September's challenge will be empty places, no people!

Our programme for the regular monthly meetings has changed following our discussions at this meeting . On September 1 we will be encouraging members to try to use the various software programmes available, share tips and ideas to tidy up and possibly improve photographs. By sharing in this way you might find an app which suits your needs.

On October 6 Gavin Prest will be reminding us of what we need to remember to produce satisfactory portraits, considering lighting and how to set up successful portrait sessions. We will be hosting Alison and four of her Steam Punk friends on Tuesday 25 to put what we have learned from Gavin into practice and hopefully produce some good character and costume portraits.

The November club meeting on Thursday 3 at Hornsea Golf Club will concentrate on camera settings and finding your way around camera menus. Bring along your camera and discover how to make use of the various opportunities to produce interesting photographs.

Our Club Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/HornseaPhot ography ) gives information about our future monthly meetings, member's images and other photo-related discussions. We usually meet on the first Thursday evening of the month at Hornsea Golf Club starting at 7.30pm. Come and join in the discussions and skill sharing.

Rob's ramblings

JUST the other day I woke up from my customary afternoon nap to be greeted, as is often the case, by visiting daughter Deb. She informed me, in my half slumber, that the musician Bob Dylan is playing in Hull at the Bonus Arena. What a wind up I thought, but on further investigation it really is happening, on October 27, following on from the previous night show at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff with a capacity of 1000's. Quietly accepting that most of my usual music loving pals don't have the same affection for this musical icon, dutiful daughter volunteered to accompany me to this event as she did for many years when the Pogues were treating us to their customary Christmas shows. Think I'll have to consider this one even more carefully, watch this space!

After the rise in popularity in antiques/recycling/auction house type programming most clearance jobs that we undertake have been carefully sifted through by loved ones' families and friends, so as a rule charity shops and landfill are the only beneficiaries. Just now and then we do keep some items. This time a small fish tank came into our possession. We kitted it out with all the necessary equipment along with five gold fish from Hornsea Garden Centre, to proudly present as an item of interest to our growing clan of

grandchildren. Not the surprise on the children's faces I'd expected, with scant attention paid to this new feature. Still if the fish knew they've all been given different names by different visiting grandchildren, with the one eyed fish named 'Popeye' in one instance and 'Issac Connor' by another.

(get it, 'eyes-a goner') AH WELL WE TRIED!!!!

Receiving almost as much interest was Liz's love of gardening, where the non-edible side of things, i.e plants, flowers and bushes are creating an incredible spectacle this year. The downside to all this is can we survive the winter on the fruity side of Liz's green fingers, consisting of two strawberries and six Hornsea Herring apples!? We need more bees to do their stuff. Good job we're trying to diet!

As I mentioned in last month’s paper we embarked on a national newspaper's offer of a '£9.50 holiday' in a caravan. Just for those people who have considered having a go, I'll try to give a rounded unbiased view. First of all, is the '£9.5' true? Well yes it is if you fill the caravan to full capacity. We thought it would be a bit squashed, though hardly any worse than in a budget hotel! Our chosen site was on the Northumberland coast, ideally positioned for our visits to Alnwick Castle, Beamish and the Farne Islands (Seahouses). So our choice gave us an

– it's August!

AUGUST is perhaps the most popular month to 'un-hook', 'get off the tread wheel'; 'get away from it all'. Parliament is in recess, schools are on holiday and, for those who can, it is the time for their annual holiday.

What is it that is in our DNA that makes us seek out a different place or a change?

We do not have to travel miles, or spend a fortune, to experience the feeling of peace, tranquility or refreshment.

For me, a walk along the beach, especially at sunrise or sunset;

By

walking in a wood with towering trees; standing on the top of a hill with a beautiful vista below and the wind blowing through my hair all evoke a feeling of peace and a sense of my position and purpose in the world.

We read in the bible, in the book of Genesis, when God created the world that on the seventh day – he rested (he stepped back from his work) – and appreciated all that was made. It is not surprising that, as we are made in his image, we need to do so too.

This 'stepping away' takes us to a

New drop-in sessions at East Riding Libraries to promote good brain health

East Riding Libraries have joined forces with the Alzheimer's Society to host drop in sessions to promote good brain health.

The sessions at Hornsea Library will take place on the first Tuesday of the month: August 2, September 6, October 4 and sessions run from 12.30-2.30pm

The sessions are drop in centres to promote good brain health, offer information about indicators of memory issues, and advise on the next course of action.

Samantha Watson, Brain Health Dementia Advisor from the Alzheimer’s Society, said: “Pop along for an informal chat to discuss any memory worries you may have. We can offer support, information, and advise on what to do next.”

excellent base. It was all as described, but do bare in mind that for just a little more outlay upgrades are available, which in our case we have paid directly to the site in North Wales for our next visit which will make up our minds as to whether or not it will be something we will continue to do on a frequent basis. So if you do decide to give it a go and pay the basic minimum, don't expect miracles, go with an open mind and choose an area that is in a good location for where you want to be, then you'll not go far wrong. If you squeeze in full sleeping capacity you may find yourselves a bit cramped, but hey ho the way prices are moving upwards generally it’s a good break, pound for pound.

place of solitude – on our own, away from noise and distractions. C.S. Lewis wrote, “We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.”

Which asks the question –friendship with who?

Jesus often went to a quiet place – to spend time with God – to listen and pray. He received strength and assurance for the tasks ahead but above all the warmth and certainty of God's love and presence.

We too have this privilege and promise.

Music IS the Key

By David Radford for Hornsea Dementia Support Group

PARTICIPANTS in the most recent meeting of the Hornsea Dementia Support Group enjoyed another fun packed afternoon of music, singing and dance at Hornsea Leisure Centre. The programme of mainly fifties and sixties rock and pop hits was led by Mark and Rebecca of Artsremarkable. Members much appreciated the power of music to stimulate the brain and the benefits of breathing and exercise through movement. It was great to revisit Elvis, Chubby Checker and Chuck Berry with hits such as Jailhouse Rock, Let’s Twist again and Johny B. Good. In so many ways it’s a great way to celebrate who we are through the memories of the soundtrack of our younger days! The photograph shows the group with arms aloft singing along to the encore of “We are the Champions”.

The group meets twice a month on Wednesday afternoons. The below programme with much more music to come featuring

So, this August why not try to find a place for solitude - it might be on the seafront, in the garden or in a cosy chair. A time to set apartwhere the rush, noise, and anxiety of the world fall mute and we can be completely lost in the peace and presence of our Creator.

Hornsea District Walking Club - Walks report

Sunday Walks

The walk from Rudston on June 26 was led by Julie England from Driffield. Julie hadn't walked with the Club for a while and she said: "It was nice to get my boots on again to lead my 12 followers on an amble round Rudston and Boynton". Setting off from Rudston Village Hall the walkers climbed gradually coming to Woldgate, the Roman Road from York to Bridlington which runs along the top of the Wolds. A coffee stop was taken in the sunshine sheltering from the wind behind a stack of straw bales, with views towards the coast. Continuing, the walkers had a view of 'Carnaby Temple' across the fields, before re-crossing the road and dropping down through Woldgate Woods. They crossed the bridge over The Gypsey Race, which flows through the Great Wold Valley, to enter Boynton for a lunch stop by St Andrew's Church. It was a lovely spot in glorious sunshine. Alas they couldn't stay all afternoon, and so continued with a steady climb up the Grindale Road onto Boynton Field. Here they tuned to follow farm tracks via High Caythorpe and back down to Rudston to complete an enjoyable 10 mile walk through the Wolds countryside under the large open skies. There was of course the essential detour in Rudston to visit Rudston Monolith and the grave of Winifred Holtby in the grounds of All Saints Church. Perhaps more accurately the Church is in the grounds of the Monolith which dates from the Bronze Age.

Britain's tallest standing stone, the Rudston Monolith stands 25ft above ground (and probably as much below ground) and is formed of Moorstone Grit from the Cleveland Hills, over 40 miles north of Rudston. How or why it was transported to Rudston still remains something of a mystery.

Winifred Holtby (1898-1935) was born in Rudston House and was an English novelist, best known for her novel 'South Riding'. Her untimely death aged just 37 came as she was gaining recognition for her writings.

From the church it was just a short hop across the road to the Bosville Arms, for welldeserved drinks on a warm day. The pub is named after the Bosville family of nearby Thorpe Hall, whose ancestry dates back to 1066 and Martin de Bosville from Normandy.

In the 19th century, by marriage, the Bosvilles became linked to the McDonalds of Sleat and of the Isles. The current owner of Thorpe Hall is Sir Ian Bosville-McDonald.

On July 3, ten members - Sylvia, Joyce, Betty, Steve, Bob, Christine, Margaret G, David, Margaret V, and Trevor - gathered at Cayton Bay beach car park for this month's short walk, led by Sylvia Caygill.

The first part of the walk followed a section of the Cleveland Way around Cayton Bay and was very up and down, giving everyone a 'cardio work out'. Once all had recovered from these exertions they continued through Osgodby and stopped for a drink and snack near The Poachers Barn pub.

On leaving Osgodby they headed up Knox Hill, through a golf course and Wheatcroft, and on to a sea cliff car park for their lunch stop with excellent views of Scarborough South Bay and the Castle, only slightly spoilt by a shower of light rain. After lunch they rejoined the Cleveland Way on Wheatcroft Cliff and Frank Cliff returning to Cayton Bay.

Seven Club members set out from Roos on July 10, on a walk led by Betty Lusby, but originally mapped out by James Lusby. They headed out of Roos past the Church, round by the sewage works and then across fields towards Rimswell. Here, the Church and the village hall were both boarded up and neglected. This was not the case when Stephen, one of the walkers who lives not far from here, was 21 as he held his 21st birthday celebrations in Rimswell village hall!

They continued through the village then spied a very old wooden sign to Rimswell Valley which was a dead-end road with a collection of remote farms. Turning towards the coast they caught a very welcome sea breeze on this very warm day. Their route then took them along the main Withernsea road for a short section before turning down the road to Waxholme where, on the cliff top, they stopped for a well-earned lunch break. The after-lunch section took them along the coast towards the holiday camp of Sand le Mare. After working their way through the caravan site they picked up the final stretch across the fields back to Roos. The footpath came out opposite the Roos Arms which all opted

to visit for a cool, refreshing drink. Sylvia met them there. She had missed the walk due to a family party, but then set off on her own to do a short walk.

Thanks go to Stephen who told us about the flood management in this very low lying part of Holderness and also about the diverse farming being carried out in this area. Although being a local farmer, he was surprised to walk paths that he didn’t know existed!

There was a change of plan for Sunday, July 17. Because of temperatures around 31C forecast inland, it was decided to swap the Appleton-le-Moors walk for the Hornsea coastal walk scheduled for late August. An earlier start of 9am was also agreed so as to finish earlier and coincide with low tide, enabling the walk to finish along the sands. Nine walkers set off from Hornsea Burton Road, led by Neil Patrick, and initially headed along the road to Rolston where they had an unexpected but happy chat with John Hepworth, the well known local farmer and naturalist. At Home Farm they followed the path to Rolston Community Wood, created by John Hepworth, and across the Golf Course and on to Hull Road, albeit not without difficulty due to a field of rapeseed! From near the Water Tower they took to field side paths then past Wood Farm. After a diversion around the wood they followed more fieldedge paths to the road into Mappleton. After a lunch stop in the churchyard they headed down cliff lane to the beach. With low tide at around 1.30pm, it was a pleasant stroll along the sands back to Hornsea so completing an enjoyable walk of about nine miles.

Summer Evening Walks

The Club has generally been blessed with fine weather for the Wednesday evening walks. This was the case on June 22 for the nine members on this five mile walk from Woodmansey led by Neil Patrick. This varied and interesting route took in parts of Beverley, old and new (Lake Minster Park, Spark Mill Lane, Beverley Beck), River Hull, and Common Land (Figham Pastures) with horse and cattle, and ended with drinks in the Warton Arms.

On June 29 the walk from South Cave was led by Joyce Davidson, followed the Yorkshire Wolds Way for a short distance up through Little Wold Plantation. Then it was downhill past a quarry, then the cemetery to skirt the corner of South Cave Golf Club towards Everthorpe. From there it was back across fields into South Cave, West End. Unfortunately the walkers were caught out by a short, heavy downpour in the last half mile which was not forecast! Joyce's evening walks do appear to be jinxed as, over the years, it has invariably rained on them! Ten club members met up in Brandesburton on the evening of July 6 for this five and a half mile walk, led by Arnold Underwood (standing in for Betty Lusby). The walk went via Burshill and Heigholme, by way of back lanes and farm tracks and ended following the advisory path around the perimeter of Hainsworth Park Golf Course. Afterwards a few enjoyed drinks at the Black Swan in Brandesburton.

The following Wednesday, July 13, there were again 10 walkers for the evening five mile walk from Hotham, led again by Arnold. The route at first headed north along Hardmoor Lane to a point where there were views east towards the Yorkshire Wolds, and west towards the Vale of York, with the one remaining power station, Drax, prominent. A farm track brought them back to St Oswald's Church from where a 'green lane' skirted east of the village to Hotham Hall. Next, a pleasant walk through The Park in the evening sun towards North Cave and back along field paths to Hotham. The Hotham Arms was busy, it being 'Steak & Wine' night, but the group found a quiet corner of the bar for their 'après-walk' drinks.

Other walks by Club Members:

David: Saturday, June 25: a long walk of about 16 miles on the Wolds from Huggate via Deep Dale, North Dalton and Wetwang Arnold and Caroline : July 3, from Huggate going via the Hawold Bridle Road, Nettle Dale, and Horse Dale (7½ miles).

On the bank – Tansterne Fishery

I THOUGHT in this edition I would talk about a week's fishing and the different conditions and fishing a match versus a lesson versus fishing with my grandson.

On the Friday we have a knock up each week and anyone can turn up and join in – it is a peg fee and pools money but nothing serious. You pay your entry money then one hour before the match starts you

draw a number and number one was first choice on the pond and number two second choice until everyone has picked a peg. I had a look the day before as the conditions Thursday and Friday were similar and there were eight pegs I fancied. I was quite happy that I would get a peg I fanciedthat is until I drew number 11 out of the bag, and you can guess as

each angler before took one of my fancied pegs! At choice number 10 I still had one of my choices left until angler number 10 said peg 25 please. All my plans and choices had gone and I elected for peg 17 near the car park and would fish the channel – the island and two plus two deep all on banded pellet. Now my ideas were in the pegs I wanted to fish banded pellet and meat over meat – you get one hour to get your rigs sorted, plumb up and have everything to hand. I knew I was not kitted out for the peg I was in so I visited Mike and asked if he had any soft pellets, he gave me 37, enough for about 90 minutes of fishing. I had lent my pellet pump to an angler who had not returned it so I couldn’t make any soft pellets of my own. Two hours into the match and I had three fish and the angler across from me was fairing no better, so I switched to Mike’s soft pellets and caught fish after fish but went through the pellets until they were all gone. Then back onto my baits that did not work. The conditions fished hard, and the match was won with 92lb – two top anglers tipped back, and I had 35lb 15oz putting me in 11th place.

The following Tuesday I fished with my grandson who is seven and we fished a light coloured 6m banded pellet for 3-4 hours and had 65lb of carp and bream and he landed a 6lb ghost carp – this was in peg four or the old peg five known as dead man's peg as it was always the poorest peg in summer months but this year it is producing every time.

On the Friday I had Alex, a junior,

By Ron Bulless

booked on for a lesson and we were back in peg four. Alex is eight and this is his fourth lesson with his dad Pedro in attendance and it did not take long to get into the fish. I took my eye off him for 30 seconds as I was trying another swim and he hooked a monster that just shot straight away from him – then I heard the hook pull and the float came back like a bullet straight between us and into the bank. I tell you this as when fishing pole on the elastic always play the fish side on, it puts more pressure on the elastic but if anything breaks it is away from you. When you let the fish run in a straight line away from you –anything breaking is coming straight back at you. We had started at 10.30am and had a 20 minute lunch break and stopped for the day at 2.30pm. We had moved off the pellet onto Dairylea cheese rolled as a paste on the hook.

Alex’s previous best had been around 40lb, and we all had a guess before the weigh sling and scales came out – 65lb again with a 7lb ghost carp as biggest fish. Both Alex and his dad were delighted with Alex wanting to buy his own lake when he grows up. Now rather than stop fishing I popped to the house and asked my grandson Cameron if he wanted an hour's practice as we were going to fish Saturday with his dad. He did not take much persuading and off we went armed with another four slices of cheese. For fun we decided to up scale the size of the cheese on the hook with some straight to hook and on the other line the cheese wrapped on the bait

band. The delight watching a 7-yearold hook into a 5lb plus fish and then play the elastic and pole to get that fish into the net. He called his biggest fish “big boy” and it weighed in at 7lb once again. Pictures were taken for his mum and nanny to see, and he was asking to fish every day during his stay. In the 60-80 minutes he fished he had 23lb 11oz which means the peg produced 88lb 11oz with the match anglers winning with 127lb. So to the big day when his daddy could be there but with no spaces left in the main pond we had to fish the canal and the conditions were changing just pre heat wave. Intermittent squalls came through and fishing was difficult so we tried dead reds over dead reds but had dozens of little perch. We switched to soft and band pellet and had some good carp and bream. Cameron was telling his dad how to play fish, when to lift and drop and check his bait and when to introduce the landing net. It's amazing what they pick up and I can see that he could become an accomplished angler if he keeps the interest. We broke for lunch and 30 minutes later having raided the fridge of the last cheese slices we were back on the bank and first put in on the cheese a 5lb ghostie – last put in on the cheese and another 5 lb ghostie. In total in his three spells, he caught more than 100lb of fish and for a 7-yearold this will stay with him for an exceptionally long time. He lives ,sleeps and dreams fishing and cannot wait for his next day on the ponds.

Tight lines Ron Bulless.

CHEQUE DONATIONS MADE AFTER CHARITY FISHING MATCHES

HORNSEA fundraiser Keith Lamming has had a busy month presenting cheques to charity. Two cheques for £142.50 each were presented to two different charities from Big Pete's and Brett Scott's memorial fresh water fishing match

that Keith organised on June 12. One was to the Hornsea First Aid Centre and one to the Me and Dee charity who arrange holidays for adults and children facing a short and uncertain future together. The Me and Dee charity looked after

Keith’s young fishing friend Brett Scott and his family. Then on July 20 Keith presented a cheque for £165, on behalf of Carl Jewitt from The Bluebell Fresh Water Fishing Club, from a charity fishing match on July 17 in memory of their old friend Harry, with all of his friends. This was presented to Craig and Karlynne Scott for the Me and Dee Charity.

Hornsea Cricket Club update By Secretary, Ian Bottom

CRICKET is in full swing and the middle month of the season produced a mixed bag of results, leaving the 1st team in second position in their division with the 2nd team hovering just above mid-table in theirs, both sides giving valuable experience to younger players. All supporters, new or more established are welcome at the Hollis Recreation Ground for Cricket and refreshments, pop along for a good day out.

Saturday 25th June

Driffield 276- 7 v Hornsea 1st x1 274- 8 (4 points)

Promoted to the main pitch at Driffield due to their higher teams having no fixtures, the Hornsea bowlers had a long afternoon ball chasing. Carl Busfield 43, J Vodden 85 and O Hakner 46 all put the bowling to the sword in the highest score against Hornsea this season. I’ll not dwell on bowling figures.

In response, a magnificent opening partnership of 156 between Jon Fisher 121 and Nick Moulds 59 gave the visitors an outside chance of victory. A couple of pressurised moments, saw wickets fall at crucial times and despite 20s from Medforth (before he was caught leaning on his bat rather than running) and Laurence Smith it all came down to the last delivery. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, but cricket was the winner.

Hornsea 2nd x1 168-8 (0 points) v Swanland 171-3

Hornsea highlights – R Bennett 30, L Brightmore 63

Saturday 2nd July

Hornsea 1st x1 196 -7 v Beverley 200-9 (4 points)

A patchy top-order batting display saw Moulds, Clappison and Griebenouw all make it quickly

into the 20s before being dismissed and at 98-5 the innings was in danger of collapse. Responsible batting from Laurence Smith 58* supported by Mark Battye & Taylor Wallace took Hornsea to a competitive total.

For Beverley, Will Parker 94 and Andy Hamson 24 put the visitors in the box seat but Hornsea kept chipping away with wickets here and there. With the game there for the winning, it was Ed Chappell with 29* who took it away from the hosts. For the second week in a row, a last over defeat but again cricket was the winner.

Old Hymerians 134 v Hornsea 2nd x1 135-3 (10 points)

Hornsea highlights – W Ineson 3-47, C Monkman 3-48, J Whitehouse 4-14: J Vickerton 35*, K Greenwood 53

Saturday 9th July

Hornsea 1st x1 163-3 (10 points) v Middleton 162- 9

The new-ball pairing of Medforth & Joe Butterworth had Middleton in all sorts of trouble at 8-4, not easy to come back from there. However Ricky Woodmansey dug deep as he almost single-handedly put up a fight against an all-round tidy bowling display. Sadly for Woodmansey he was caught by the notoriously safe hands of Battye for 98, just shy of a deserved century.

Despite losing a couple of relatively early wickets themselves Doug Griebenouw 95*took the bowling to the opposition in an innings where he wasn’t going to be out.

Taking a sabbatical down the order Paul Clappison tried to take on the “finisher” role, but 23 was all he could muster before the real McCoy Medforth showed him how it was done with 13*.

Hull Zingari 161-8 v Hornsea 2nd x1 159 (4 points)

Hornsea highlights – C Monkman 48; W Ineson 3-38

Saturday 16th July

Sutton 167 v Hornsea 1st x1 170-1 (10 points)

A game played with the atmospheric tunes of the ghetto blasting out from the decks of a local resident. This seemed to inspire the Hornsea bowlers as Rich Medforth 4-26 and Doug Griebenouw 3-37 hit their rhythms. At one point Sutton were 62-8 but a hard hitting 72 from number nine Abdul Quadir got the hosts up to respectability status. After tea Jon Fisher with 18 from the first over showed his intentions before he was deceived for 40. There was no slowing of the scoring rate as both Paul Clappison 69* and

Griebenouw 56*repeatedly hit the ball out of the park reaching their target in under 17 overs.

Hornsea 2nd x1 82-2 (10 points) v Skirlaugh 81

Hornsea highlights – K Greenwood 4-20, J Whitehouse 3-16: D Dales 34*

Saturday 23rd July

Hornsea 1st x1 153 (2 points) v HICE 154-6 Oh dear. HICE opening bowlers Liam Walker 333 and Rounding performed well but a variety of dismissals meant that despite the majority of batsmen getting in, they also got out - Rich Medforth with 32 top scoring as the lower order fell to Andy Kingston 5-26. Despite insufficient runs to defend the bowlers gave their all, Joe Butterworth in particular with a well-deserved 4-21 from his permitted 12 overs. However a fine Dave Barker 61* and a less fluent Sam Young 38 saw the visitors take the points. Let’s hope for better in coming weeks.

HICE 207-8 v Hornsea 2nd x1 226-7 (10 points) Hornsea highlights – D Dales 38, M Brightmore 67: D Dales 4-42

Hornsea Harriers update

Endure 24

By Caroline Barker

Endure 24 took place in Brahman Park in Leeds.This is a 24 hour race to complete as many five mile laps of the trail course over the 24 hour duration, the course is not flat by any means. I was invited to join a team of six to take part with only one member of the team on the trail at any time. We completed 26 laps in the timescale and much fun was had by all. Running at 3am is definitely a strange feeling but something I want to do again.

Withernsea

By Neil Pratt

Fraser Pratt ran the Withernsea 3k on Sunday, July 3 in an amazing time of 14 minutes 22 seconds giving him third male prize.

Paul Palframan meanwhile ran the Withernsea five mile race finishing in a brilliant time of 40:21:05.

Sewerby Marathon

By Mark Williamson

Sunday, July 3 Peter Hardy-Cork and I travelled to Sewerby to celebrate his 50th birthday with a marathon. We were joined by John Tansey who was running the half marathon. John’s route was an out and back to Flamborough lighthouse. The marathon was out and back and out and back, but the back was a different route back to the out! To make it that little more fun some little toads had decided to remove some of the signs and a kind gentleman started to gather them in as he thought that’s there wasn’t an organised race on! At one point the marathon runners ended up going in three different directions all hoping they were on the right track. Fortunately we were soon heading in the right direction. An absolute beautiful course with some outstanding views.

To our amazement we finished third and fourth in a

time of 4:29.

A huge thank you to all involved at Grim up North for all their hard work that goes into these events.

Race for Life

By Clair Williamson

Race for life Hull July 2022 saw the inspirational Jackie Kirman rally up the troops to help raise funds and awareness for Cancer. Over 100 friends and family ran/walked the 5k, on a beautiful and emotional Sunday morning at Costello. Jackie although suffering from an infection managed to walk the full course talking, laughing, thanking and just being her usual amazing self throughout.

Jackie is a much loved Honoury Hornsea Harrier, always full of support and full of compassion and genuine kindness and interest towards everyone she meets. There was no wonder the air was filled with TEAM JAKS love. The ending of the event finished with the hand holding bridges encompassing Jackie as she stepped under the finish banner without a dry eye on the field. A truly fitting finish for such a legend.

So far at the date of writing Jackie has raised just under £3000.

Jackie was diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer called Primary Peritoneal Cancer in July 2021, and since that diagnosis she has never once wanted pity, she again has shown her true tenacity in facing this head on and this is why she is so very loved.

Walkington 10k

On Friday, July 8 five Harriers ran the Walkington 10K, renowned for being a very undulating course. The race start was a 10 minute walk from race HQ which was good to warm up.

Once the race started it was quite congested until the field opened up. It was a very hilly course not made any easier with the warm weather. The tough going was eased by the fantastic support on the

sidelines, especially when running through Little Weighton where crowds had gathered outside the Black Horse pub to cheer everyone on at the 6K mark.

The final 1.5K was tough with the biggest hill to contend with and the final run in which was running into the playing fields in Walkington. It was a great relief to see friends and family on the final few hundred metres to give the last bit of encouragement to get to the finish.

All in all, it was a popular evening race, well supported by local clubs on a tough course.

Considering the weather everyone finished in brilliant times:

Mark Williamson - 41:17

Dan Wilkinson - 46:47

Paul Palframan - 49:58

Craig Waites - 59:30

Jacqui Hanson - 1:06:47

Update on the Brignall Trophy

By Neil Gabriel

On June 26 we held the Brignall Trophy, which incorporates a good afternoon's bowling followed by a salmon and strawberry tea.

Over two dozen attended and thankfully the weather was excellent with everyone having a great day out.

The competition has an unusual format: two wood playing in pairs for four ends then moving rinks and changing partners. After 20 ends there was a clear winner, Barry Jones, taking the spoils.

Many thanks must go to Margaret, Lynn and Judy for their hard work throughout the day carrying out the catering.

WELL DONE: Barry Jones winner of the Brignall Trophy being congratulated
