On the evening of Friday, June 24 there will be a netball tournament on Leven Playing Field as part of the festival between 5pm and 9pm. On the Saturday the parade has the theme ‘The best of British’ which includes the Coronation through to the Platinum Jubilee and any other big events during that time.

There will be a rolling road closure in place during the parade which includes North Street, South Street, East Street, High Stiles, West Street, Carr Lane, South Carrs, South Parade and Westlands Way and as soon as the parade

has passed through each road will reopen straight away. Classic car owners are encouraged to join in with the parade too with everyone entering the parade needing to be at the Playing Fields before 11.30am.

Hundreds of objections for asphalt plant at Brandesburton PLANS submitted by Newlay Asphalt Ltd for the construction of an asphalt plant on the junction of Bridlington Road and Catfoss Lane in Brandesburton are due to go before East Riding Planning Committee on June 23.

At the time of publishing the application has 308 objections lodged against it. Objections include Catwick Parish Council who have called for the application to go in front of the full planning committee for consideration. North Frodingham Parish Council have also sent a letter strongly objecting to the application.

Most of the objections are in relation to concerns over increased traffic, environmental concerns and worries it will consequently harm the tourist industry in the area.

The application form for the plant includes operating times of 5am to 3pm Monday to Friday and 5am to 10am on a Saturday. The application states the processing on site includes the coating of road stone with bitumen using a directly heated batch coating plant which can process a maximum of 100 tonnes per hour. On a typical day the applicant estimates that 15 HGVs will visit the site for deliveries and/or collections (30 movements in total), with the potential for approximately 10 visits from smaller lorries (7.5 tonne or less).

The plant has a maximum height of 14.05m with the majority of the structure being much lower and the applicant claims the trees on the site boundary will help to screen the site. The applicant has submitted an ecological enhancements plan to support biodiversity on the site from dark corridors to nesting support for birds and bats.

Hornsea receives Seaside Award as it loses its prestigious international Blue Flag Award for its beach KEEP Britain Tidy have announced the winners of the prestigious Blue Flag and Seaside Awards for 2022 with Hornsea losing the Blue Flag award they received last year although still being recognised with a Seaside Award.

Blue Flag is an international award presented to well-managed beaches with excellent water quality and environmental education programmes. Seaside Awards are presented to the best beaches in England and celebrate the quality and diversity of our coastline. Sites are assessed for safety and services, environmental management, water quality and information. In addition, Blue Flag beaches are assessed for their environmental education activities.

Hornsea was the only beach in East Yorkshire to receive the prestigious award last year having prior to that last obtained it in 2018. No East Yorkshire beaches have received the Blue Flag award this year with Whitby and Scarborough being the only Yorkshire beaches to receive a Blue Flag award in Yorkshire.

Hornsea did however receive a Seaside Award flag which have been awarded to 14 Yorkshire beaches including Bridlington and Withernsea beaches in East Yorkshire.

The international Blue Flag and the UK Seaside Awards are the quality marks for our beaches and mean those visiting them can be sure that they are clean, safe and meet the highest environmental standards, as well as the tough international bathing water quality standards.

New Hornsea Mayor AT HORNSEA Town Council’s meeting on Monday, May 16 Councillor Stephen Prescott was elected as Chairman and Mayor of Hornsea Town Council for the forthcoming year taking over from Cllr Tim Bunch.

Councillor Laura Embleton was elected Deputy Mayor for the forthcoming year.

Talking about his last year as Hornsea’s Mayor Cllr Bunch said: “Thank you to the councillors for allowing me to serve as Mayor of Hornsea for the last year I have enjoyed every minute of it.” Cllr Bunch thanked his wife and Mayoress Joanne for her support throughout his Mayoral year. He added: “I think when we look back on the year which started with difficulties with Covid, I think the council have performed exceptionally this year I was particularly pleased to open the Ebor playpark we have also resurfaced the paths in Hall Garth Park and Newbegin now has a defib unit in the old red telephone box. We have started two major projects firstly the Edenfield Cemetery development to benefit generations to come and the Town Council works compound on Esplanade which will deliver an effective base for our hard working garden team. I know the new mayor and deputy mayor have been at the heart of everything we have achieved this year so I feel sure in the coming year the council will be in very good hands with Cllr Stephen and Cllr Laura.”

Cllr Tim Bunch has raised £2237 for the Ewing’s Sarcoma Research Trust in his Mayoral year inspired by the work

done by the local ‘one in a million’ charity auction supporting Ed Jordan.

The charity was created to fund research into Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer affecting 80 children, teenagers and young adults a year in the UK.

Hi from the Editor….

IT’S BEEN a while since I have done an editor’s column, I think perhaps it felt inappropriate during the pandemic or maybe that is an excuse for having lost all inspiration as to what to say.

This last month has felt amazing – the most back to normal month for news since the pandemic hit. Those small coffee mornings and cheque presentations that we have so missed are back and it’s been lovely to catch up with so many of you. It was also lovely to attend the first in person Mayor making since Covid hit, congratulations to Cllr Stephen Prescott.

It’s been especially lovely to see all the decorations going up over the last few weeks for the Jubilee celebration weekend. I hope everyone enjoys the celebrations across the area as I know lots of work has been put into them.

The build up and plans for Hornsea and the villages is covered between pages 18 and 23.

Just lastly to say a massive thank you to Charlotte Eldred who we have commissioned to design the artwork on the front page for us. We will be running a giveaway with items with the design on, on our social media over the Jubilee weekend so make sure you’re following us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and / or TikTok (although that one is very much still a learning curve!) Charlotte and her work often feature in the paper as she runs some amazing doodling workshops – we have reported on ones for the primary school, Women’s Institute and this month for the Scouts! Many of the local businesses have window art created by Charlotte too. She also sells prints, cards and some gift items through The Townhouse in Hornsea and Art & Soul on Flemingate in Beverley.

Back in autumn we had a stark front page with the reality that faced the town regarding the Hornsea Carnival if more committee volunteers didn’t come forward. It is fantastic therefore to have the build up to the event and adverts in this edition and the last one as they prepare for the weekend of fun in July.

As always please support where you can our advertisers as without their support we would not exist – and try to remember to say you saw their advert. We are lucky to have so many new unique businesses in the town to complement the well established ones we already had on our high street, they’re really worth exploring!

Complaints over motorcycles on the Trans Pennine Trail OVER recent months Councillor Barbara Jefferson of East Riding of Yorkshire Council has been receiving complaints regarding motorcycles and scooters being used on the Trans Pennine Trail. Cllr Jefferson explained: “They are causing a nuisance to residents mostly in the early evening. Having spoken with the local Police regarding this matter, the

police have increased their patrols on the trail and it was agreed that there was a need for signage on the trail to indicate that this practice was prohibited. I am very pleased that the East Riding Council have provided the signs at the Southgate access and the Viaduct access. The Sands Lane access will receive a sign in due course.”

Property conversion paused as owners open doors to Puffins Galore!

WORK on converting a former radio studio into high-end office space and apartments has been placed on hold after the arrival in the building of a colony of puffins.

The birds may be fibre glass rather than flesh and feathers, but they appealed to Rachel and James Murray’s passion for culture and have brought work to a standstill at their site, The Boathouse offices, next to Hull marina.

The 42 puffin sculptures, which stand 1.5 metres high, have been brought in from manufacturers in Poland to play a starring role in the Puffins Galore! animal trail.

They are now being decorated by professional artists who responded to the brief of telling a story of the East Coast, its local wildlife, green energy and climate change.

The painted puffins will be unveiled on Saturday, July 2 at a series of coastal sites throughout East Yorkshire stretching from Flamborough down to Kilnsea, as well as some

A CHARITY motorbike ride has been organised from Withernsea to Hornsea supporting the appeal to get a beach wheelchair for the Hornsea community. Brent Smith a biker from Hollym said: “a local resident was wanting to raise money so I said I would ask if there would be any interest. It soon became apparent that there would be opportunity.”

The event ran in conjunction with the Hornsea Foundation, will see bikers riding from Castle Café in Withernsea down the coast road and arriving at The New Inn in Hornsea Market place on Sunday, June 19.

There will be a free curry and chilli for the participants.

There will also be a family fun day with live music for those attending The New Inn to support the appeal. The event at The New Inn will run from 1pm to around 6pm. During the afternoon event New Inn pub landlord Ryan Whitehead is also planning to shave off his beard which he has been growing since the pub fully reopened

inland locations including Hull, Beverley, Cottingham and Patrington.

Rachel and James, who have owned the dockside property for more than 20 years, will then resume their renovation work, buoyed by the interest generated in the site by the puffins.

James, an architect, said: “I come from a creative industry and I think art and culture is very important so we were happy to pause our project to accommodate the puffins.

“We remember the Larkin toads and the moths which were created for the Amy Johnson Festival and we have also seen other animal sculpture trails around the country.”

Rachel added: “We are helping to redevelop the marina by renovating the building to create high-quality office and residential space and we wanted to take the opportunity to also support the cultural side of the city and help to promote Hull as a destination.

“I think it’s amazing. You could not have a better creature in this location

at the side of Railway Dock. Everybody wants to see leisure projects taking shape – they like to do something creative and they love events.”

Puffins Galore! was launched with funding from Yorkshire Coast BID and East Riding of Yorkshire Council as part of their drive to boost tourism and increase visitor numbers.

That investment has already enabled the organisers to secure additional sponsorship from more than 40 businesses across the region including the Bonus Group, Cranswick, The Deep, Designs Signage, HETA, KCOM, Sewell on the go, the University of Hull, Wykeland and Strata Holdings, who will deliver the puffins to their new homes.

Clare Huby, a director of Puffins Galore Ltd, said: “The sculptures were due for delivery in March but they are made at a factory in Poland and a lot of the work had to stop because some of the workers are from Ukraine or have family there.

“Our first concern was for the safety of the people. All we could do was be patient and wait until their colleagues could catch up with the work. Our artists and sponsors have been very understanding and sympathetic and we are grateful for that.

“We’re now at the point where I am really looking forward to seeing the

after Covid a year ago. The event is looking for local sponsors and raffle prizes and all of the riders will make a donation with the target to raise around £3000 towards the beach wheelchair appeal.

The beach wheelchair appeal for Hornsea was set up by local resident Tracy Beilby to allow disabled and elderly people to be able to enjoy the beach and seaside as much as anyone else. The wheelchair has special wheels that allow it to move on sand and even to go into the sea for a little paddle. The appeal was featured on BBC Look North, where they spoke to 102 year old veteran Syd, who said he would be one of many putting this wheelchair to use!

You can also donate to the appeal at: https://bit.ly/HornseaBeachWheelchair

puffins in their new homes.

Having previously delivered Larkin with Toads and A Moth for Amy we know it will be challenging and tiring but we have a great team working on it.

“The best bit is once everything is out there… just wandering round, watching people and seeing their reaction. I remember with toads when I was having a bad day in the office and feeling like I was banging my head against a brick wall it was great to just go out and see the crowds of people enjoying the trail.”

Puffins Galore! will run for six months after which all the sculptures will be sold, either to their sponsors or at a grand charity auction. The proceeds will be donated to four charities selected for their important role in the protection of the wildlife of the seas and coasts or for their essential work saving lives at sea.

The charities are the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, RNLI, RSPB and Hornsea Inshore Rescue.

BEARD BE GONE: Hornsea’s New Inn Landlord Ryan Whitehead is ready to shave his beard off as part of the fun day

A HORNSEA resident went to the aid of a mother duck who had lost her ducklings in a roadside drain while on a morning stroll. Florin Soloman saw the duck around 8.30am when at the time she only had one duckling he explained: “I told the kids she was just passing through here. I went to school with the children and when I came back I saw her very agitated and sitting on that metal grill. I realised that something was wrong and I went to see what it was. She seemed to know that I wanted to save her ducklings.” He lifted up the grill and could reach the flock of young ducklings which he removed back to the safety of their mother. Florin added: “The mother duck stood still until I took her in my arms, took out the ducklings and took her to the Mere. I'm glad I was able to take them to the Mere, where they have a chance to survive.”

Training Boost for Hornsea Retailers ON MONDAY May 9 Councillor Barbara Jefferson was very pleased to attend a free three hour workshop to boost skills in window dressing at Hornsea Parish Hall. The East Riding of Yorkshire Council have organised a series of free workshops for owners, managers, employees and team members of retail and hospitality businesses in the East Riding through the European Regional Development Fund also known as the Welcome Back Fund.

All Hornsea businesses had the opportunity to learn from Helen Goodwin of ‘Made You Look Visual Merchandising’ as they took part in a window dressing workshop aimed at boosting ways retailers can use their shop window to draw customers into their premises. All attendees received a copy of the newly launched Retail Sector Guide which offers a wealth of practical tips and advice helping retailers to acquire, serve and retain customers. Councillor Barbara

Jefferson commented: “having spoken with the business support team at ERYC I had agreed to attend briefly but decided to stay for the whole event as everyone was networking and gained much support from each other. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and we all agreed it was extremely helpful. There will be further workshops in and around the East Riding for the benefit of all.”

The Survivor visits Hornsea 1

AS PART of The Odyssey a giant puppet known as The Survivor visited Hornsea on Saturday, April 30.

Yorkshire Coast BID partnered with renowned Scarborough theatre company Animated Objects, to deliver this next instalment of ‘The Odyssey – An Epic Adventure on the Yorkshire Coast’ The Survivor was pulled from the sea on Hornsea beach by the Hornsea Mermaids open water swimming group in the morning. In the afternoon she walked along the promenade standing at a towering five meters tall. The walk brought to life the story of a survivor of conflict in the Trojan Wars. She starts her journey washed up on a shore unfamiliar to her. She is lost; frightened and alone. She is welcomed with artworks, music, and spoken word.

After the walk ‘The Survivor’ was presented with a blanket made up of squares hand made by crafters up and down the Yorkshire Coast including many from Hornsea and several Crafty Shedders.

Readings were read out and the Let’s Sing local singing group encouraged the audience to join them in singing several songs as part of the community event.

Councillor John Whittle elected as new chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council COUNCILLOR John Whittle has been elected as the new chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council following the authority’s annual general meeting.

Councillor Whittle, who has served as vice chairman for the last year, has been an independent councillor for North Holderness since his election to East Riding of Yorkshire Council in 2007.

Since his election, Councillor Whittle has been a member of strategic planning committee for the last 15 years and also sits on the children and young people overview and scrutiny committee.

Before his election to East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Councillor Whittle had been a member of Holderness Borough Council and has sat on Hornsea Town Council since the early 1980s. He has served as Hornsea Town Council’s Mayor on seven occasions, including in 1987 when, at the age of 31, he was their youngest elected mayor at that time.

Councillor Whittle was born in Middlesbrough but had family links to Hornsea and it

was while he was a student at Bishop Grosseteste College in Lincoln that he would spend his holidays working at the famous Hornsea Pottery. Among the jobs he undertook at Hornsea Pottery was driving the miniature bus before moving into a full-time sales role.

After taking care of his father’s small printing business, Councillor Whittle moved into the hospitality industry and along with his wife, Jane, owned the Swiss Cottage restaurant in Hornsea for a number of years before leaving

the venue to focus on his role as a ward councillor.

Looking ahead to his year in office, Councillor Whittle said: “It is a great honour to be elected as the chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and I’m very much looking forward to the year ahead.

“While we’re all learning to live with the COVID pandemic we still need to focus on bringing tourism back to the East Riding and help boost the economy and I’m looking forward to genuinely being able to help the people that I’ll be meeting over the next year.”

Councillor Whittle has three step-daughters, six grandchildren as well as a number of great- grandchildren and is also a well-known figure in Hornsea’s amateur dramatic and operatic scene.

The charity Councillor Whittle will be supporting during his year in office will be Hornsea Lions.

Councillor Pauline Greenwood, Conservative ward member for Beverley Rural, has been elected as vice chairman of the council and will serve in this role until May 2023.

Hornsea Museum update

By Adrian Moran Jubilee As a reminder of what was said last month, at the Jubilee weekend on Saturday, June 4 the Museum will have a free ‘open garden’ event with live bands, At 11am it will be Chris Stubbs and the Tuba Dudes, and at 2pm the Hessle Swing Band. (The Museum itself will be closed). Bring your chair, wine and a picnic; refreshments will be available.

On Sunday, June 5 the Museum will be open from 10am to 4pm for the usual entrance costs, but there will be games and play for the children in the garden based on replicas of traditional games.

Donation One of the members of the Hornsea Pottery Collectors Society, Mrs Rita Hasdell, has donated a very rare piece of Hornsea pottery to the Museum on behalf of herself and her late husband, Jack. The piece is a figure cast in earthenware with a matt white glaze and was designed and modelled by the late Caesar Philip Clappison during the summer of 1965. As far as we know, the mould was subsequently destroyed making the piece unique. The Museum is very grateful for the gift.

Crafts Despite many efforts to get volunteers to help, the Museum has been unable to raise enough people to effectively and safely put on the children’s craft events on Thursdays in the holidays. The Museum apologies to the disappointed children and parents. Further efforts will be made in years to come.

The Museum trustees have interviewed for a part-time administrator and an offer of the job has been made.

Dry February challenge sees over £1000 raised for Motor Neurone Disease charity EDWARD Dunne from the New Inn pub in Hornsea Market Place completed a dry February challenge for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA). The charity works to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers.

Customers and family have backed Edward, known to many customers as Dave, to drink no alcohol throughout February raising £1,100 for

the charity. Edward commented: “It has been difficult as I’m partial to one or two drinks and I usually drink seven days a week which I think is why I raised so much money! I hoped to make £200 - £300 but £1,100 for a small pub in a small town is amazing, the local people have done really well. We had a deal that if I broke it, I would double it!”

Edward is from Leeds and as a Leeds Rhinos fan he

The cheque was collected

by MNDA volunteers Jane Tye and Pat Worrall who added: “This money means help for people with MND in their own homes. It could pay for adaptions that are needed

and quality of life grants or respite for their family carers as it is mentally and physically exhausting for them.”

A generational divide

leadership styles, employers may encounter resistance with older generations who are used to more rigid lines of command. As you make changes to your leadership style, it is essential to communicate why these changes are necessary to workers and beneficial to the company. Doing so may bridge the disconnect between past and present management styles, while opening the floor up to questions and concerns from different generations.

One such way to do this is by incorporating training as part of the behavioural shift. Ensuring that all employees are given the same level of access to changes in company policy makes it easier to open communication channels.

When people are equipped with the same literature, discussions begin on an equal playing field. This can help ensure that the opinion of the majority does not drown out the concerns of individual employees.

How to implement good leadership that works In a culture whose political discourse has increasingly been centred around concepts of selfsufficiency, isolationism and independence, integrating kindness and teamwork into your work plan may seem like a foreign concept at first.

There are ways to lead with thoughtfulness and care without alienating more reluctant employees.

Mindfulness portrays a thought process that asks individuals to live with intent. When people are mindful, they are observant of not just themselves, but

of the home / work place and world around them. A mindful employer will recognise that a good employee whose work has been less satisfactory as of late may be dealing with several issues, from health to home. Considering factors outside of work allows the employer to make meaningful, productive decisions about the employee instead of simply assuming laziness or disinterest on the employee’s behalf.

Not entirely dissimilar to mindfulness, the power of active listening cannot be ignored. Many employers now have an opendoor policy that would have been unheard of in times past. If not seated directly amongst employees, management has now elected to have literal open doors or blocked hours where employees can come to them to talk about what’s on their mind, be it a work related concern, idea or personal problem. For best results, the manager in this situation has an open mind and isn’t afraid to give and receive meaningful feedback in a compassionate but earnest manner.

Whether you elect to engage in mindfulness practices or switch to an open-door policy, the benefits of leading with thoughtfulness cannot be overlooked. In a time when joblessness has decreased and employers are fighting for talent, the best leaders must recognise the benefits of empathy, not only to their enterprises but to society at large, times have changed we must move with them.

NCI HORNSEA ACHIEVE DECLARED FACILITY STATUS IT IS SIGNIFICANT and important to the NCI Hornsea team that they have now achieved Declared Facility Status (DFS). This means that the station is now formally recognised as Search and Rescue (SAR) Asset and provides the station with the same status within the SAR family as, for example, RNLI and the SAR helicopter service. It provides the framework and standards that the station will operate to in the future. Hornsea NCI has been preparing for the

opportunity to be assessed for some time, but the Covid outbreak and the following movement restrictions have delayed progress in achieving the award. The DFS is the standard to be reached by all NCI Stations once they have been operational for at least two years.

Once achieved, the station will be re-assessed on an annual basis.

All of the station's team are delighted that we are able to announce this step forward. We are all still very conscious that we do

rely on our local supporters, who contribute to the funds required to keep the station operational.

One such lady is Irene Smallwood, from Leven. Irene is well known around the area as a prolific fundraiser. Since August 2020, she has raised well over £9,000 by sewing and selling a range of products, including bunting for the Jubilee. She has just contributed the sum of £500 to our station, so a very big thankyou to Irene. Other

beneficiaries include our fellow rescue service provider, Hornsea Inshore Lifeboat, as well as local charities such as The Poppy Appeal and internationally Home of Peace, a Kenyan charity. I am sure we will continue to hear of her good work in the future, thank you.

Hornsea Community Money Advice: Freedom from debt hope for the future THE HORNSEA CMA has been in operation now since March and we are already helping a number of clients who have found themselves struggling with debt. We are helping a range of people from those who have significant debt to people who are struggling to pay household bills and need help budgeting.

Our advice would be to anyone who has not yet contacted us and are struggling with missed payments or mounting debts please don’t ignore your situation, debt does not just go away. Come and talk to

us. Our main aim is to listen carefully to your story and discuss all the available options with you so we can help you make informed choices about a debt solution for you.

We understand that asking for help can be difficult but there is no reason to feel alone, isolated or embarrassed, people can be in debt for all sorts of reasons and people’s circumstances can change at any time especially at the moment with the ever increasing cost of living. Statistics show that personal debt is going to be at an all time high over the next

year so you are certainly not alone.

We at Hornsea CMA strongly believe that the more we openly talk about debt the easier it will be for people who really need our help to come forward and ask for it. If the help is out there why not use it.

Hornsea’s independent lifeboat ‘Spirit of Hornsea’ came to the rescue of two broken down jet skis on Thursday, May 19.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue were out on a training exercise when their shore crew, who observe from the Boat Launch Tower, noticed two jet skis apparently in trouble to the south of Hornsea, just off Longbeach Leisure Park.

They immediately informed the Coastguard and instructed the ‘Spirit of Hornsea’ to go to their aid. They were on the scene within a minute or so and found that one jet ski had broken down and the other, which had gone to its aid, had got the tow rope entangled in their impellor.

The jet skiers were taken aboard the lifeboat and the two jet skis were towed to the Hornsea slipway where they were recovered by Hornsea Inshore Rescue shore crew.

Chairman and Station Manager, Sue Hickson-Marsay, said: “It was a straightforward rescue but the casualties were lucky our shore crew had spotted them and we were already out in the lifeboat on a training exercise.

Without a very quick response these incidents can quickly develop into a much more dangerous situation.”

Spirit of Hornsea was crewed by Coxswain Rob Carthew on his first call-out as coxswain, and coxswains Sue Hickson-Marsay and Tom Mitchell. Newly qualified launchmaster was Jake Blackburn-Roberts aided by Adam Collins as shore crew.

area, for what we are able to do solely due to donations such as these. We are very grateful for these donations and I am sure so are the people we rescue.”

Graham Stuart MP Honoured to Move the Humble Address BEVERLEY and Holderness MP, Graham Stuart, was honoured to move the Humble Address to Parliament on Tuesday, May 10 to mark the beginning of the new Parliamentary session.

The State Opening of Parliament took place on Tuesday, May 10 to mark the formal start of the new Parliamentary session, which gave the government the opportunity to outline its legislative agenda for the 2022-23 session through the reading of the Queen’s Speech. Following the Speech, it is customary for there to be several days of debates to discuss its contents in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. This starts with a speech which is delivered by an experienced backbench MP, known as moving the Humble Address, and this year Mr Stuart had the honour of being chosen to do this.

The Queen’s Speech unveiled a substantial legislative agenda focusing on four key areas in particular: boosting economic growth and helping with the

cost of living, making our streets safer, funding the NHS and tackling the backlog, and providing leadership in troubled times.

Mr Stuart was particularly supportive of the Energy Bill, which will give the Humber the opportunity to be a global leader in the development of hydrogen and CCUS as part of the UK’s mission to achieve net zero and improve its energy security.

Following the Queen’s Speech, Mr Stuart moved the Humble Address in which he expressed his support for the government’s legislative agenda and gave advice to recently elected MPs and

those considering a career in politics, including “never stop campaigning for what you believe in… and enjoy and value every department you work in, rather than seeing it as a stepping stone to the next thing…” He also spoke about his campaign to keep community hospitals in Beverley and Holderness open when he was first elected as the MP for the constituency, and the continued importance of supporting the people of Ukraine.

After moving the Humble Address, Mr Stuart said: “It was a great honour for my constituents and I to move the Humble Address at the start of this new Parliamentary session. The Government has unveiled an ambitious list of priorities for the months ahead and I look forward to scrutinising it and supporting it as these Bills go through Parliament.”

STANDING WATER ISSUES ON TRINITY ROAD COUNCILLOR Barbara Jefferson as part of her East Riding Council ward work has been working with East Riding Highways to remove the water which appears frequently on the corner of Trinity Road and Hornsea Burton Road much to the annoyance of residents in the area.

This is a longstanding issue especially for the Hornsea Coastguard Station

email: editor@hornseacommunitynews.uk

with so much standing surface water on occasions.

The scheme was designed last year but it was not implemented as it was felt that a new camera survey was required to see if the existing chambers were able to be reconnected and further work was needed to inspect all the gullies along Trinity Road.

Councillor Jefferson said: “I would like to assure everyone

that the contractors are trying hard to get all the connections in place and it is expected that commencing on May 30 a road closure is necessary to enable further works to be carried out and completed June 1. The closure is between the junction with The Crescent and Hornsea Burton Lane but access will be maintained for residents, the emergency services and pedestrians.”

A PLAQUE has been unveiled in Hornsea Memorial Gardens in memory of Hornsea resident Vernon North.

Vernon was well known in Hornsea having been the Chairman of the local Royal British Legion Branch as well as being involved in many other groups. He sadly passed away in May last year from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and a year after his passing a plaque was unveiled next to the RBL centenary tree inspired by his great grandson Riley who is five.

Glynis explains: “Riley often visits the cemetery with his step father Matty when he lays flowers for his grandparents. Riley had asked Matty where Gramps (Vernon) was so he could lay flowers for him. Matty decided to speak to Hornsea Town Council Clerk Joanna and Keith Twigg from the Hornsea RBL to see if they could organise a plaque for next to the tree to give the great grandchildren a

place to go to remember their gramps.”

At the unveiling of the plaque Reverend Keith Himsworth led a short prayer and the family including great grandsons Riley and his brother Archie laid flowers. The unveiling was followed by a celebration of Vernon’s life at The Hornsea Ex Servicemen’s Club for family and friends as only 30 could attend Vernon’s funeral due to Covid restrictions. A cheque was also presented on the day for £700 for fundraising done by Glynis and her family for research into Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. This was received

by Mark Major who is the specialist nurse in Hull and the surrounding areas for

POP UP PROM BOUTIQUE PROVIDES ECO AND COST FRIENDLY OPTION FOR STUDENTS HORNSEA School and Language College held a pop-up prom boutique on May 24 and 25.

The scheme for those in year 11 and the sixth form was set up as school proms return this summer.

The school said: “We know that every year, thousands of items of clothing go to landfill sites, and that there are many prom dresses that have only been worn once and left in a wardrobe. As well as

supporting a great cause, with donations going to our Grown out not Worn out scheme, this is also an eco-friendly way to look a million dollars whilst helping the environment!”

The pop-up boutique

had a range of beautiful dresses, shoes and accessories in colours, styles and sizes to suit all tastes as well as a fantastic range of suits and ties. The school asked for a £20 voluntary donation

towards their ‘Grown out, not worn out’ fund.

The prom items have been donated by the community and The Wedding Collection at Hornsea Freeport also donated dresses to the pop-up boutique.

MEN IN SHEDS OPEN DAY AND CRAFT FAIR HORNSEA Men in Sheds are holding an open day with a craft fair and coffee morning on June 16 from 10am to 2pm at their shed just past the bus station on Cliff Road.

HORNSEA ROYAL BRITISH LEGION STANDARD PARADED IN YPRES HORNSEA Royal British Legion Standard Bearer, Mel Watson, has recently paraded the standard at the Menin Gate in Ypres in Belgium. It was paraded on both Saturday and Sunday as part of the Last Post Ceremony.

The Menin Gate was built after the end of the First World War as a memorial to the thousands of service personnel who lost their lives between 1914 -1918. There are hundreds of names engraved on the walls.

The ceremony takes place every evening, and has done so since the memorial was erected, except for a period during World War II, when the ceremony was carried out at Brookwood Military cemetery in Surrey England.

Mel’s daughter Tracy, who is the Chair of the WRAF Association laid a wreath on their behalf.

Mel commented: I was amazed to see just how many spectators were there to witness the parade. I was proud to represent Hornsea RBL, it was a very moving and emotional experience.”

During his visit he was able to visit many of the Commonwealth War Grave Commission cemeteries, including Tyne Cot, which is the largest in the world, and both the Passchendaele and Flanders experience museums.

HUG update

By Councillor June Greensmith, Chair of HUG HORNSEA Urban Gardeners (HUG) volunteers have been busy across the town getting Hornsea ready for the Jubilee and summer season.

Bench painting has been underway and members of Hornsea Walking Netball Team have joined in to help HUG’s chief painter Jacky Stringer and fellow HUG volunteers in painting the Hall Garth Park benches.

Altogether 50 benches have been painted across the town ahead of the summer season.

Plant sales outside The Nook on Southgate are going really well with £150 raised since the end of April when we started selling plants and other items this year.

Hornsea Promenade Bowls Club rockery wall has now been included in the seafront planting giving a continuous planting display from The Bowls Club to Morrow Avenue Sunken Garden.

A big thank you to East Riding Council Foreshores staff who are helping with weeding along the seafront.

Station Court residents despite setbacks have managed to create some lovely planting at the back of

their properties onto the Trans Pennine Trail.

We are all working flat out to make sure Hornsea looks its best. There are more and more residents joining in and giving Hornsea a HUG. At the HUG allotment we sent the first produce of cut lettuce and rhubarb recently to the Hornsea Pantry and it looks like it is going to be a bumper year for fruit.

Work is also ongoing on getting the street signs ready for the Jubilee weekend (see story on page 21).

Air Cadets - No 298 (Hornsea & District) Squadron update 1

HORNSEA Air Cadets are looking for new recruits, not only cadets but adult staff as well. Do you fancy volunteering with this national youth organisation?

We urgently need to find people aged 20 or over who would be willing to give up one or two evenings a week to help us. There is a possibility the Unit will have to close in six months’ time unless more adult staff can be found, so please have a think about it.

The Royal Air Force Air Cadets is a voluntary youth organisation, sponsored by the Royal Air Force for young people between the age of 12 and 19, whose aim is to develop character-building qualities of good citizenship, leadership and service in the cadets.

For cadets, who can join at age-12, there is aviation-oriented training (which can lead to nationallyrecognised qualifications), flying and gliding, and a wide variety of other activities, including camps, adventure training, shooting, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award , making music, taking part in most major sports, radio communications and IT. As a volunteer member of adult staff, you don’t need to be an expert in any of these areas, if you have an interest in a particular area, so much the better, but we do need people to help with organising and running the activities on offer. We also provide high quality training for all our adult staff to ensure that they can confidently pass on their skills and knowledge to our cadets, with the additional benefit that some of the qualifications we offer are recognised nationally, not only within the Air Cadets, but also in other areas such as first aid at work.

For more information please contact us on 07922 110905, or alternatively, 01964 532083. (This number is at the Unit at Pasture Road, Hornsea and is staffed on Monday and Wednesday evenings between 7pm and 9.30pm and has Voicemail).

Rob's ramblings

By Rob Andrew

BEING a recent convert from the delights of foreign sounding premium beer to the equally enjoyable sampling of every kind of gin on the market, due in no small part to my body telling me to cut back on the fizzy stuff and inevitable later consequences. Myself and Liz have now begun a mission to sample as many varieties of this enticing product as our flesh will tolerate. To this end I have become very tempted by the range of top priced drinks now being sold at a very reasonable rate at Stackhouse bar. Considering the seemingly top prices being asked by the supermarkets, compared to the market leader, and reluctance to splash out on these products just in case one small sip convinces us that it is indeed enough thus confining the remains of the bottle to the very back of the cupboard, when in the fullness of time our kids, hopefully in many years’ time, will be pouring down the sink on our behalf! Now I must add at this point that I believe that being probably halfway through our mission and that our possibly uneducated pallets can barely detect a difference between one gin and another.

Liz insists this is only after the third one that they all blend into one another. Is it a bit like the story of the emperor’s new clothes, where no one dare

state what everyone else is thinking or merely the fact that our palates are not tuned to the finer subtleties?

At a party with pals a while ago we decided to put this theory to the test with fizz/bubbles/champagne etc.

We had one VERY expensive bottle of champagne, one bottle of a supermarket own brand, a cheap prosecco and a cava.

Out of the ten people 'blind testing' only Joan managed to almost identify each one correctly. Everyone else was, how to put it, 'dismal failure's'.

You could try it out at home and see how your friends fare with this challenge, or maybe come along to the planned evening of wine tasting at a local eatery, whilst supporting the Hornsea branch of Fairtrade. More details to follow very shortly.

It hardly seems like five minutes ago that we were celebrating the Queen’s Golden Jubilee with a party along the Promenade outside the Floral Hall. As we are now busily preparing 20 years on for the Platinum celebrations I thought now may be a good time to remember that day. Jean Robinson who is still very much active on the Hornsea Town Council was Mayor overseeing the proceedings as once again the Councillors have taken the lead in a long weekend of celebrations.

Hornsea Cinema at Floral Hall. Wednesday 29th June 2022 Matinée 3.00pm/Evening performance 7.30pm [Note: Doors open 30 minutes before the film starts]

‘CYRANO’ A re-imagining of the timeless tale of a heart-breaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac, (played by Peter Dinklage, Tyrion Lannister from ‘Game of Thrones’), dazzles, whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of the luminous Roxanne, (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her... however, Roxanne has fallen in love at first sight, with Christian, (Kelvin Harrison, Jr).

Genre: Musical drama Rating: PG 13 (Suggestive Material, Some Strong Violence, Brief Bad Language, Thematic Material) Runtime: 2hrs 3mins NB: Although ‘Cyrano’ is due to be released from cinema circulation on 30th May, on the off-chance that it isn’t, we will show an alternative film.

SINCE our last report, we have had a busy time.

Thankfully, the senior citizens picnic trip was able to go ahead.

The numbers were down on previous years (probably as a result of Covid!) but everyone that did turn up had a great day out and enjoyed their ‘Meal Deal’ packed lunch from Tesco on a lovely sunny day. We called at Helmsley, after a few major diversions! Then on to Scarborough and spending a couple of hours in each place.

We were once again able to have our stall at the Floral Hall Antiques Fair. It was very well supported and we were able to sell a lot of special items.

The shop continues to do very well and we are grateful for all the

support we get from locals and visitors alike.

Our Diabetes Screening Day and coffee morning went ahead on Saturday, May 21 at Hornsea URC. We would like to say a special thank you to the Eastgate Surgery medical staff that conducted the tests. Funds from this go to Diabetes UK and it’s the first of the previously annual events to go ahead since 2019.

We have purchased a New Minibus. Unfortunately, it is slightly smaller than previous ones. It only has 12 seats including the driver. As always, it is available for use by local groups and teams. Contact Lion Peter Taylor on 536833 for terms and conditions.

We have also been able to

make a number of local donations including £1000 to help fund the towns Jubilee fireworks display, £500 to Hornsea Art Society to help fund room hire for the Art Festival, £550 to help fund a coach trip to Knaresborough for 30 senior citizens, £1465 to cover the cost of three months overheads for The Hornsea Pantry, £1000 to All Saints Church Skipsea to help with the costs of repairs, and £1000 to Driffield Army Cadets to assist with the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

HART welcomes important visitor ON TUESDAY, May 17, HART was visited

by East Riding Council cabinet member Councillor David Elvidge. Councillor Elvidge holds portfolio responsibility for Community Empowerment and the Voluntary Sector, which was recently enlarged to include community transport.

He had been invited by Councillor Jane Evison, Chair of HART, to learn more about the services provided to our communities. The visit was also timely as East Riding Council has just adopted a Community Transport Strategy for 20222029.

HART Manager, Caroline Wegrzyn, commented: “HART has a long history of working with ERYC to develop sustainable services that complement the public transport network. The current focus is on building back services and charity resources post-Covid, working with community transport colleagues and ERYC to research passenger travel changes. The new ERYC Community Transport Strategy will assist in this work as we work

together to deliver the strategy”.

The East Riding is served by three community transport operators, each with its own geographical area, and the strategy considers the challenges faced by each in turn as well as the wider local and national picture. In HART's case, a key concern is the declining number of volunteer drivers – some due to health conditions making them vulnerable to Covid. The pandemic has exposed the risks of relying on an older workforce, which has sometimes meant a struggle to cover essential services.

Could you help? If you enjoy driving and meeting people, have a D1 on your licence and a bit of time on your hands – whether it be one day a week, a month, or just now and then - maybe it's for you. Drivers receive all necessary training to carry out the job, along with on-going support. If you want to know more, do contact the HART office on 01964 536684 for a chat.

Meanwhile, HART's regular services in the Hornsea area continue: • Shopper services to Beverley (twice a week) and Driffield (fortnightly) – for anyone who might struggle to get there any other way. The return fare is £5, and to book a place call the HART office on 01964 536684 • The 220 public bus service between Hornsea and Bilton Church (connecting with the 277 to/from Hull), one journey

By John Rodgers

in each direction Monday-Friday (not bank holidays). The single fare is £1 and the service is bookable only, by calling 01964 536684 at least 24 hours in advance.

• MEDiBUS to hospital and other medical appointments, for those without access to a car and who cannot use public transport for any reason. The return fare is £5 for bus pass holders and £10 for those without. It serves appointments between 9am and 3.30 pm Monday-Thursday and 9am-1130 am on a Friday, and this time the booking number is 03456 445959.

VISIT: Cllr Evison and Cllr Elvidge, with HART's electric bus.

Crochet street projects bring joy to Hornsea KAREN Pemberton from Hornsea has used her talent for 1a 1b 2 crochet to ‘yarn bomb’ the post box on Newbegin in Hornsea for the Jubilee. Karen started the project in February and says it has taken her at least 100 hours around her full time job.

Karen explained: “I saw other people on craft groups decorating post boxes and I’ve never done one so thought I would have a go. Everything is sewn on too, there is no glue used so each gemstone on the crown is handsewn in place.”

The project has taken just under four balls of wool although Karen confessed: “the assembly has taken as long to do as the actual crocheting.”

Karen isn’t new to yarnbombing and is known for her decorative crochet street sign on Pioneer Terrace on Cliff Road. Naturally Karen couldn’t leave that out of the celebrations and so has 1. a&b CROCHET: The crochet post box topper Karen has created for Newbegin in Hornsea created a Jubilee display for the sign too.

Hornsea Urban Gardeners prepare to decorate the town’s street signs

School pupils help create Jubilee street art for Hornsea HORNSEA School and Language design and art technicians Gav Nesbitt and Megan Shepherd have visited Hornsea Community Primary School and Hornsea Burton Primary to work on a Platinum Jubilee decoration project for the town’s Newbegin bus stop (keep your eyes peeled!). Every child at Hornsea Burton Primary School designed a commemorative mug with all the designs forming part of the decorations. At Hornsea Community Primary School they worked with year three to decorate Union Jacks. Pupils work from Hornsea Nursery School will also form part of the community art display.

HORNSEA Urban Gardeners (HUG) are preparing to decorate the town’s underplanted street signs for the Jubilee. Red, white and blue plants have been ordered for all the planters which are being planted as we go to press. Councillor June Greensmith who is Chair of HUG has also enlisted the help of resident Julia Beadle. Julia sewed some bunting for the Tour de Yorkshire and so Cllr Greensmith approached her to see if she would sew bunting in red, white and blue for all the street signs that are planted in the town. Julia rose to the challenge sewing 56 pieces of street sign sized bunting. This will be appearing before the Jubilee and will then be washed, ironed and stored for any future events.

The Queen arrived in Beverley on the Royal train and initially went to Beverley Minster for a short service. Following this The Queen was taken in the Royal car from the Minster to Burton’s Corner on Toll Gavel where the included photograph was taken of

Andrew meeting the Queen with his consort James also in the photograph.

The Queen walked the whole of Saturday market via a walkway and barrier system had been installed to allow her to walk right up the bandstand at which point The Queen was presented with a photograph. Andrew

accompanied Prince Phillip along Saturday Market and at one point Phillip lifted a little girl over the barriers to give a posy to the Queen.

The Royal car then took the party to the racecourse where the Queen met invited guests in tables of 10.

The Queen took the time to talk to each table individually.

Hello again from Hornsea and District u3a

By Chairman, Jane Hardman

1

IT DOESN’T seem long since I was writing for the last edition of the excellent Community News. I know it’s a cliché, but time surely flies.

The u3a has been busy with its usual wide range of activities, beginning with our monthly meeting ( reminder: first Tuesday of the month in the Floral Hall from 10am) which was intriguingly titled The Gong Space. Our speaker was Sarah who runs the Gong Space Centre in Lincolnshire. We did not know what to expect and Sarah arrived with a huge gong which she set up on the stage of the Floral Hall. She began by telling us about how the gong are used in a therapeutic way, not like the gong we have all seen struck at the beginning of some films. Sarah went on to explain that the powerful and therapeutic gong space bathes you in waves of sound and vibration to promote healing, stress relief, meditative states and deep relaxation. Working on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, sound healing is health and harmony for the whole self.

A brief history about gongs followed, and an explanation of how they are played and the different sizes of gong.

Sarah herself began as a bit of sceptic, being taken along to a session by a friend. She suffers from fibromyalgia, a painful and debilitating condition and was told gong therapy could help. Sarah was amazed at the effect it had on her, having the best night’s sleep she had had in a while following her first session. This spurred her on to look further into the healing properties of gongs and now she is fully trained and runs her own sessions, sometimes joining with the Salt Therapy Centre in Beverley.

Sarah asked if we were prepared to listen for about fifteen minutes (typical sessions last for an hour or more) We were all willing and sat for about fifteen minutes while the gong was first stroked and then beaten gently with padded beaters, producing a resonant continuous sound which was never loud but filled the Floral Hall with sound. We were told before it started that some people fall asleep, which was quite ok, and sure enough, some of our members did indeed have a gentle slumber. Others said it had made them feel very relaxed and I think most of us were surprised that the sound had had an effect on them.

2 Our next meeting is somewhat different. It is on Tuesday, June 7th, as usual in the Floral Hall from 10am and is a talk by Larry Malkin who is a Hornsea resident, entitled Planes, Ships and Trains. A wide ranging topic and one which we have all had some experience of those modes of transport. Come and join us if you are interested and are no longer working or work part-time. Your initial meeting is free, after which it only costs £15 to join for a year and have access to all the groups and activities we have.

The Theatre Group has been out and about again. Using one of the community buses, it is an excellent way to travel to the New Theatre, being picked up in Hornsea and dropped off and picked up right outside the theatre. The latest show we saw was Lord of the Dance. What an amazing spectacle of dancing and youth and energy. We were all breathless just watching!

In fact, we were so inspired by the show, that one of our members (let’s call her Sandy) thought that we should begin a u3a Irish dancing group. Her friend (let’s call her Sue) agreed to do the choreography. After some discussion about the feasibility of this (and the practicalities) it was decided that perhaps we could do this sitting on chairs. Further thought went into this. Perhaps not, we decided. It was a nice dream while it lasted.

Probably when your Community News is delivered it will be round about the time of the Queen’s Jubilee. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I think even non-royalists admire our Queen and for many of us she is the only monarch we have known and her devotion to duty is legendary. Although the u3a has not organised anything for this significant occasion we will be supporting the activities provided by the Museum and the Town in general. Happy Jubilee.

Remember, if you are interested in finding out more about the u3a, we have a website to look at: hornseau3a.org, and we also have a Facebook page, which is , I admit not very well used, but it is there.

Join us on June 7 for our next meeting in the Floral Hall.

1. SPEAKER: Sarah from The Gong Space 2. OUTING: Members went to see Lord of the Dance at Hull New Theatre

The next monthly meeting is on Tuesday, June 7 at 10am for 10.30am in the Floral Hall. With a talk from Larry Malkin who is a Hornsea resident, entitled Planes, Ships and Trains.

POEMS The Brave

By Kev Naylor He stands on the platform with his child held tight His wife is crying, terrified with fright A final goodbye as the train pulls away They head to safety but he needs to stay Gathering his rifle with a tear in his eye Looking back and waves as he says his goodbye Joining friends and brothers

in a fight for their land To a city he calls home, he will make his stand Passing the place where his house once stood Remembering the times when life was so good Now just dust and rubble where his neighbours lay dead Innocent people murdered in their bed A teacher by trade, he wasn’t trained to fight Now stood in defiance against a dictators might Facing his enemies as the missiles fall Greatly outnumbered,

holding the advancing wall Hell is unleashed from every corner But he does not run in the undoubtable slaughter An ordinary man laid collapsed in the dirt He looks down and sees the blood on his shirt He wishes he could see his family one last time But happy they are safe and are going to survive Like many of this people, giving his life to save His country and its freedom, he is the brave

Note: Kev has a book of 25 of his favourite poems inspired by his life spent in Hornsea and his work within the local countryside. You can get a copy of Kev’s booklet from him via his Facebook page and they are also on sale at the Salon Greenway in Hornsea and Leafy Seadragon refill shop on Newbegin

DOODLING FUN: Having fun at the Jubilee doodling fundraising event

Diary of a Hornsea Girl WHILST writing this column it sometimes seems that the main content is regularly based around food, as it surely must be for a little girl aged just 19 months, some people say: 'all they do at first is eat, sleep and toilet', well not any more. As you can see from the photo Alexandra has now taken to gardening or more precisely watering the plants, usually with assistance, using a watering can. But you may not be aware, as most of our family are that Granny Liz finds nothing more amusing than seeing little ones on the telly shows, like you've been framed etc, succumbing to all sorts of misadventures to add to their experiences. So to set the scene, imagine Granny saving up egg shells to help our tiny one scatter among the lupins, thus preventing them becoming a tasty treat for our slug population. Alexandra appears to be very proud of helping and makes a bee line for the aforementioned pot, taking particular care to water them well, usually with her favourite watering can. Until she was introduced, needless to say under strict supervision, to the wonders of a hose pipe.

Then my attention is taken away just for a

second and instead of watering the plants turns the sprayer towards her face, managing to enjoy the sensation of a very cold face wash, without knowing in her state of shock how to simply release the grip on the nasty trigger. But to her credit she really doesn't cry about such events despite that naughty Granny and her Mum and Dad being unable to contain their amusement 'schadenfreude' is not a word you should really be able to use when the hapless victim is a very well loved, clever little girl. But hey ho, in life things do get a bit mixed up. Shucks!!

We try to go wandering to the park, playing on slides and swings etc and sometimes visiting Tesco to treat ourselves to a cookie or sweetie. Only last week, whilst out and about in our three wheeled pedal assisted buggy/scooter did I once again take my eye off the ball. Whilst selecting a packet of crisps our miniature angel decided to stand up to try and climb out when faced with the enticing purple and silver chocolate wrappings on the adjacent fixture somehow tipping herself and the buggy over, thus banging her forehead as a result. Again we

had no tears as a kindly gentleman rushed to our aid, all we got in response was the newly learnt phrase when faced with a mishap 'ooh'. Once again we have no real idea where this was picked up, but at least we have yet another delight to add to our ever growing list of anomalies. On hearing of this latest mishap Mum Debbie looked up on the internet 'toddlers falling over' discovering that you should expect 17 falls per hour at this age. Fingers crossed we'll have a change sooner rather than later.

Anyway it’s time for me to dispose of transportation and resort to reins and shoulder carries. More delights to come.

AS HER MAJESTY celebrates 70 years on the throne, we do well to remember the power - by her own admission behind that throne. The Queen has made no secret of her deep Christian faith’s having been the inspiration and bedrock for her life of service over the years. In a remarkable book produced on the occasion of her 90th birthday in 2016, ‘The Servant Queen’ and the King she serves, the Queen wrote in the Foreword, “I have been and remain - very grateful…to God for His steadfast love. I have indeed seen His faithfulness.”

In her Christmas broadcasts over the years, the Queen has been unabashed in talking of Jesus and the strength and example He has been to her. In broadcast after broadcast she has mentioned Him - the circumstances surrounding His birth, His life of service to others, His teaching, especially on the need to forgive others and to love our neighbour, and the events surrounding His death and resurrection. And on the occasions of her landmark anniversaries, amidst all the other public celebrations, the Queen has made a point of going to a place of worship to offer her thanksgiving to the King Who has sustained her, entirely consistent with her priority of being in church each Sunday.

There is much more to Elizabeth II than her faith in Christ but one cannot understand her without understanding her devotion to Him. It has shaped everything she has done. Six months before her Coronation Elizabeth asked the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth to: Pray that God may give me wisdom and strength to carry out the solemn promises I shall be making, and that I may faithfully serve Him and you, all the days of my life.

Let us give thanks to God, the King of Kings (and Queens!) at this time, for blessing our nation (and the wider world) with such a faithful servant during these past 70 years!

(Copies of ‘The Servant Queen’ are available from Hope Together on 01788 542782. Also available in braille, audio and giant print from Torch Trust on 01858 438260).

Plastic Free Hornsea Group and friends update

by Beachcomber OUR FRIENDLY group had a very enjoyable monthly meeting at Hornsea Golf Club. There was plenty to discuss but the glorious landscape outside and the wonderful catering inside made for a very pleasant working evening!

Our collection of used and empty tablet blister packs at the seafront Eco Hub on Sundays has been so successful, thanks to the support of the community.

We now offer a weekday collection point for your convenience at Quick & Clarke Estate Agents (open Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm and Saturday 9am - 1pm), located at the traffic lights in Hornsea Market Place, they are one of the town’s accredited plastic free businesses. This material is sent for specialist recycling as it cannot be recycled by normal means and so would otherwise end up in landfill.

At both drop-off points, you are just asked to tip your empty blister packs into the bin provided and take your own bag away with you. Marie Curie benefits from this collection.

PFH was approached by Hull University to ask if we could assist a group of PhD students from the Aura CDT Centre who wanted to conduct a beach clean at Mappleton. We were happy to

arrange the loan of equipment for them. Two of our members joined them on the clifftop there and gave a safety talk. The students, who had their own first aiders, then walked along the beach to Hornsea and back again, rejoining the PFH volunteers who had litter picked around the village and environs in the meantime.

Almost 42kg of rubbish was collected, and a fly-tipping report was made to ERYC about some roadside rubbish that had been causing concern to the villagers. A good morning’s work! We would like to thank, as ever, The Old Post Office Tearooms at Mappleton for their outstanding catering and hospitality.

The King’s Mill Special School, Driffield, paid yet another visit to our Eco Hub as part of their curriculum.

They are such a happy group and, on this occasion, chose a sunny day! We love their visits and they always leave us cleaner than they found us.

The Eco Hub also hosted a corporate group visit from Mitsubishi Chemicals who spent a pleasant morning removing 5kg of unwanted rubbish from our coastline. If you would like your group, whether private, educational or corporate, to use our free facilities for a litter pick,

PFH has again been working with CLiPS to further brighten up the Viaduct bridge on the Hornsea Rail Trail as reported last month. Several coats of good quality white masonry paint have been applied to the parapets in both sides of each parapet.

More stencil decorations of wildlife and marine life have been added to indicate the directions to the sea and inland. This work, together with the year-round maintenance and improvement of the section of the Trail from the Viaduct bridge to just before the log planter at the Southgate entrance (0.39miles), has resulted in the TPT (Trans Pennine Trail) management describing our work in writing as “seriously inspirational”.

We like to keep this route open, safe and enjoyable for everyone whilst preserving the existing ecosystem.

Former railway lines have their own intrinsic and finelybalanced nature and it is a requirement of our permission to work there that this is maintained. With guidance from ERYC and TPT together with our own environmental knowledge, we strive to keep this area as it should be. We have recently

lost a young tree to deer foraging and its replacement went too, but we accept these losses. The rail trail is gloriously wild!

The Plastic Free Hornsea Group is proudly sponsored

by Longbeach Leisure Park.

The refreshments at our seafront Eco Hub are provided with support from Hornsea Tesco and Number 10 Coffee Shop.

CLiPS Community and Litter Picking Services Following the incident reported last month regarding motor scooter riders on the Hornsea Rail Trail (footpath/cycle track), new signage has been strategically placed to indicate the illegality of motor vehicles on this track. The existing signage was quite elderly and the new signs make this prohibition clearer.

Mobility vehicles, of course, are welcome! Thanks go to ERYC Councillor Barbara Jefferson for her swift action in improving public safety and to Humberside Police PCSO Alan Roberts for being fully

proactive throughout.

In preparation for the Jubilee long weekend the replacement ‘Creature Stone’ has finally been installed in the Viaduct bridge garden.

This was following the destruction of the original by young vandals. This garden, like all others, is gasping for water but we were delighted to see that Hornsea Pebble Art members had added some of their creations to brighten it up. Pruning of protruding branches has taken place down the interior of this section of the Trail to maintain safety.

Our regular litter picking commitments both in town and on artery roadsides have all been met this month and with the longer light evenings we can extend our working days to include more areas.

We have also, with the help of a much-valued CLiPS supporter, cleared the debris from the town end of Witty’s Passage, and we have had the pleasure of assisting HTC (Hornsea Town Council) in completing a thorough sweep/weeding of Aarondale Corner at Eastgate crossroads. The HTC staff work so very hard performing a multiplicity of tasks over a large area and with a small workforce, that we are in constant admiration of their dedication in keeping the town looking lovely for us all.

Hornsea Photography Club update

By Glenn Malkin and Ann Underwood THE MAY meeting of Hornsea Photography Club was an excellent presentation about Astrophotography by our own Gregg Simpson. We were at Hornsea Golf Club, though we had a smaller room than usual due to another function taking place. Ironically, we were somewhat pushed for space though, as we had an excellent turnout including members from other photography clubs in the region who we hope enjoyed our hospitality.

Gregg only took up astrophotography during lockdown, building on his lifelong interest in astronomy. He has been sharing some of his amazing images on the club Facebook page over the past couple of years, so it was about time we learned how he did it!

Gregg began by showing us equipment that he uses. The first requirement to getting great astrophotographs is for the camera to be able to accurately follow the movement of stars during a long exposure of maybe five minutes or so. Without this the image would just show lines instead of points of light (actually caused by the Earth rotating). To enable Gregg’s camera to do this it is attached to a refracting telescope connected to a motorised mount. This mount has to be aligned exactly to the north point in the sky around which the stars appear to rotate. The motor then moves the telescope to keep track of that rotation. Gregg showed us a smaller mount that he used in his early days, with his DSLR camera and tripod which produced some great results. But now he has gone much further! The telescope and mount he uses are impressive enough, but the technology to control it is amazing!

This includes a small box on the scope about the size of a large box of matches which is a computer (Raspberry Pi) containing detailed star maps and which can figure out exactly what it is looking at. There is a tracking system which ensures the telescope follows the stars exactly, and of course the camera itself - no ordinary camera though this one is a special Astrophotography camera (as one member pointed out, looking remarkably like a car’s oil filter).

This camera incorporates a sensor cooled to below zero degrees (to reduce noise in the image) and heated areas to eliminate condensation. Essentially though it is a 24Mp colour digital camera ...and of course, since this is 2022, all of this powerful equipment is controlled by an app on Gregg’s phone. Once it is set up, he can sit in the warmth of his house and take photos from his armchair.

Gregg then demonstrated how he processes the images on his computer. To get high quality images, he takes dozens of identical photographs, each with an

exposure of several minutes. Using Affinity photo processing software he then stacks the images on top of each other. The key reason for this is that the background noise (which causes a graininess to the images) is random and when the images are merged in this way the noise starts to cancel itself out. When processing shots of deep sky objects such as nebula or galaxies, he temporarily removes the stars from the image using a superbly named bit of software called ‘Star XTerminator’. Using Photoshop, he can then enhance the image of the deep sky object independently before putting the stars back in.

The knowledge Gregg has on this subject is extraordinary, though he says he is still learning! Many people present were perhaps inspired to have a crack at some basic Astrophotography – shots of the moon, long exposure star trails, etc. Who knows, maybe one or two will get the bug and take things to the next level!

Our monthly Facebook challenge continues to be successful in attracting uploads. Last month the challenge was 'Capture the action' and visits to various sporting practices and events resulted in good action shots. Our photographers have proved themselves a patient group and there were many bird images though the Red Arrows display caught by Chris Wilkinson was chosen as our FB page header photo.. Sue Langford captured the action of the swirling water at a reservoir overflow. The current challenge is 'Best Mono' – a chance to try Mono photography and the June Challenge will be 'Spring Colours' - show us your best image of Spring. July will have you looking out for Cars/Motorcycles Cool looking vehicles moving or stationary.

Our club Facebook page @HornseaPhotography gives information about our future monthly meetings, member's images and other photo-related discussions. Our next meeting will be at the start of the Jubilee Celebrations on Thursday, June 2 meeting at the Inshore Rescue Compound at 7.30pm. Fireworks are scheduled for 10.30pm so come prepared for a long evening with plenty of photo opportunities.

Hornsea Music Society celebrate the Jubilee!

By Sarah Perkins THIS SEASON’S fundraising concerts certainly have a patriotic theme. The first concert, on St George’s day, had a fabulous Shakespeare theme. Pam Waddington Muse (mezzo soprano) and Peter Sproston (piano) performed some lovely unusual music, interspersed with readings from Fiona Skerrow and Theodore Loades.

The season ends with a gala jubilee programme from Opera 17, contributing to Hornsea’s celebration weekend with a programme of musical theatre suitable for the occasion, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Just think about that theme…

Opera17 was founded in 2017 by Sharon NicholsonSkeggs, as part of the City of Culture Celebrations. Its aim

is to bring quality music to the community and in doing so help to raise money for worthy causes. The group has a broad wealth of talent which allows for them to perform solo, duet and ensemble numbers across a wide genre of music including Opera and Musical Theatre. They have performed in such venues as Hull, Beverley and Howden Minsters, Sewerby Hall, Hull

Guildhall and various churches. Braver citizens will remember the concert they gave in November, in the grip of a storm.

The concert will be at the

United Reformed Church Saturday, June 4 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £10 each, and are available from The Townhouse, Newbegin, Hornsea, or from Roberta

Loades on 07816 863222.

Accompanied children are admitted free. The proceeds will go towards subsidising next winter’s season of concerts.

MP launches Parliamentary Coronavirus memorial quilt competition for Beverley and Holderness BEVERLEY and Holderness MP, Graham Stuart, is launching a Parliamentary Coronavirus Memorial Quilt Competition for his constituents.

The Parliamentary Coronavirus Memorial Quilt is a cross-party project that is being led by Dawn Butler MP to encourage the Parliamentary community to come together in a sign of unity in memory of all those loved and lost during the pandemic. Each MP has been asked to provide a square patchwork block measuring 6 inches square to the quilt to represent what the experience of the pandemic has meant to them. These blocks will then be pieced together to form a quilt that represents the multitude of experiences during this time whilst also demonstrating unity through a single quilt.

Mr Stuart is asking his constituents to take up the opportunity to create

the patchwork block that will represent Beverley and Holderness on this quilt, and his favourite one will be included in this historic cross-party project.

To enter this competition, please make a patchwork block measuring six-inch square either by knitting, crocheting or using felt. This block should represent you and your experiences of this time. You may wish to choose a soft fabric because it has brought you comfort, or a colour that has meaning to you during this time, or a logo that represents your experiences. This is an opportunity for you to be creative, learn a new skill and to commemorate your experiences.

Although not compulsory Mr Stuart would like you to write something down on a piece of paper to explain a bit about your block. This might be why you’ve chosen that fabric, how

ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION RETURNS

By Gillian Fitzpatrick 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, so why not take a look. At the moment we have over 20 artists taking part.

you felt stitching it, what you stitched, how this past year has been for you and/or any other information. The explanation accompanying the successful entry will be brought together into a memory album book to keep alongside the quilt.

Please send your entry by post with your patchwork block, piece of paper explaining the reasoning for the design of your block, name and address to 9 Cross Street, Beverley, HU17 9AX by Friday, June 3 and Mr Stuart’s favourite entry will be included on the quilt.

Hornsea Choir restarts By Sarah Perkins IN ANOTHER sign of life getting back to normal, Hornsea Choir restarted on Monday, May 23 at 7.30pm in the United Reformed Church.

“We had a meeting a few weeks ago, and decided that, while there is a sensible argument for waiting until the autumn to restart rehearsals when everyone has had their summer break, we just wanted to get going again,” said the choir’s secretary, Georgina Chamberlain. “If anyone would like to join in, just turn up at the URC on a Monday night. It is an informal group, and there are no auditions.”

Sadly, Eileen and Chris Ashmead have decided to step down as musical directors after leading the choir through several very happy years. The choir is very grateful for all their hard work and are pleased that

Eileen has decided to join us as a singer. Their place is being taken by a former choir member and assistant conductor, Stan Kell. Stan has been involved with singing and conducting for over 60 years.

His CV includes contesting with brass bands and male voice choirs, being assistant MD of

Sevenoaks Philharmonic and MD of the Shoreham Singers.

Hornsea concert goers will recognise him from Music Society concerts, where he has conducted the New International Chamber Ensemble.

Why not come along on a Monday night?

NEW CONDUCTOR: The New International Chamber Ensemble (NICE) when they came to Hornsea in January, with their conductor (Stan Kell), who is now the Hornsea choir's new conductor.

Small dog syndrome by Karen Whitchurch (adapted from 2015) THE FAMILIAR scenario unfolds.

There we’ll be, me and dogs, following our usual route, maybe walking up Witty’s Passage, when from somewhere nearby there’ll be an outbreak of shrieking, accompanied by desperate cries of: “TALLULAH! STOP IT! No! Be NICE....” My two will roll their eyes: we’ll look at one another and sigh, knowing what’s waiting round the corner.

Sure enough, there will be a harassed, red-faced woman (sorry to say that it usually is a woman ) pressed up against the nearest wall/hedge/car whilst desperately trying to restrain some pint-sized monster intent on shredding everything in sight. Said monster, about the size of a domestic cat, is invariably a terrier, a hybrid Something-Hua or something-Poo. It will also, whatever the weather and however thick its fur, be wearing an embarrassing fluorescent coat, or possibly a novelty bandanna. It will be tenuously attached to an extendable lead, or a no-control hivis harness. My dogs, heard it all before, will walk on, unimpressed, but that won’t stop Little Miss Gobby, who’s hungry for a set-to.

Hackles up, teeth bared, gargling defiance and snapping wildly at the nearest target (usually the hapless

owner’s legs) ‘Well, come on, Big Boys! Do ya feel lucky???’

There will follow an accusing glare. “She’s scared of big dogs!” (well, no, love, she plainly isn’t) or failing that, an attempted negotiation. “Tallulah. TALLULAH! Nicely!.Good girl (no, she isn’t) Sit! Wait! Lie down! BISCUIT!” (Interesting, but futile, given that the only two words Tallulah recognises are her name and ‘biscuit.’) All of which might sound amusing, but it’s not, because it doesn’t have to be like that.

Welcome to the reality of Small Dog Syndrome.

Artificially elevated status....

How do these situations come about? Is it that all small breeds are snappy, antisocial have-a-go fiends? Of course they’re not.

Chihuahua, Yorkie, or Pomeranian, Wolfhound, Westie or Tibetan Mastiff, a dog is a dog is a dog. But each breed does have its unique characteristics: Chihuahuas are generally one-person dogs, bred to warn Mexican villagers of approaching invaders, miniature Schnautzers and Pomeranians tend to be extremely vocal and quite territorial, while Jack Russell’s, diggers and ratters, are brave, feisty little creatures who will stand their ground. Some dogs are gobby, but

that doesn’t have to mean aggressive. Neither does mini=horrible. Human beings are hard-wired (or should be) to protect the small and vulnerable. So of course, you take no risks with your cute, big-eyed fluffball. There’s a big, bad world out there, and she’s soooo tiny! Problems begin when you forget that she’s a dog. Carry her everywhere, she’ll lap it up! Let her up beside you while you watch Corrie...share your bed with her, pick her up whenever another dog approaches, just in case. Wrong!

Wrong, because you’ve raised her profile. She’s become your equal, no, your pack-leader, and now she’s in charge! Which does her no favours at all. Dogs, large or small, are world-class opportunists: if they can get away with it, they will. And if they keep getting away with it, you’ve got yourself a problem, or more likely, a Syndrome. .....demotion to the ranks Meanwhile, back in the alleyway: Tallulah may well be scared of bigger dogs. But if that’s true, then she has no confidence that her owner can or will sort out the problem. Therefore it’s down to Tallulah to protect both of them the only way she knows how. So what does Mummy do? Picks her up, of course, giving her the perfect

Coasting along

By Justin Furapaddle I WAS reminded recently of the unwritten law of the need to be: ‘Careful of unintended consequences.’

It would seem that as a direct result of Russian aggression against the Ukraine and the retaliation of many countries in terms of oil embargoes, and sanctions designed to cripple the Russian economy and therefore cause it to negotiate a settlement, has had ‘unintended consequences.’ Evidently as a result of these sanctions the price of oil has rocketed on world markets to such an extent that Russia, which is an oil producer, has many more millions of dollars pouring Into its coffers. Sufficient to support its war financially and yet hurting other countries economically.

(Incidentally the recent 5p reduction in petrol costs has already been wiped out and we are back on the treadmill of ever rising fuel pricing.)

Inadvertently financing Russia is an ironic situation but one where the need to isolate Russia in other areas, such as Eurovision, is as vital as ever. Ironic too that Putin claims to be De Nazifying the Ukraine when we see daily images of what De Nazifying looks like with already destroyed towns and cities still under constant bombardment, and untold numbers of people having been killed or made refugees. I don’t see many images of Nazi uniforms on Ukrainian streets but the parade on May Day in Red Square had

disturbing similarities with the parades in Nazi Germany during the 1930’s As if we hadn’t got enough to worry about, we are now faced with the prospect of a Nasa Plan to beam earth’s location into outer space which could trigger an alien invasion! Evidently some kind of coded message will be broadcast into the hidden corners of the Universe containing all the information that some alien species would need to know about the earth and how easy it could then be to counter any defences we might get round to putting up. Why anyone thinks this a good idea I can only guess but keeping secrets is something we have not been very good at. The only consolation I have is that I won’t be around to witness the arrival of other life forms putting up tents in my garden. Doctor Who where are you?

On the subject of learning about other life Forces in the universe I see that they have managed at last to find a spare fuse to activate yet again, the much-vaunted Hadron Collider.

Earlier this month we were promised startling revelations and new discoveries that would alter forever our understanding of the ‘forces’ that govern our very existence. It was all so exciting we were told that the Scientists sitting astride the Collider could not sleep, eat or drink because of their excitement at their discoveries. I watched the TV news with

opportunity to snap and shriek for Yorkshire! Poor Tallulah, all that bravado, and nowhere to hide.

Arguing with her achieves nothing beyond giving her attention (albeit the negative kind.) And as for that biscuit-offer…reward for bad behaviour, or what? Would you hand out chocolate to your mid-tantrum toddler? Maybe Princess Tallulah has ruled the roost since puppyhood: that’s misguided leadership. Or possibly she came from a lovely home with a darling old lady who showed love by giving in to her: it’s all the same. Dogs need boundaries, guidelines, and ultimately, they have to know who’s in charge.

So, if you live with a minidictator, socialise him/her as much as possible. Do you have a friend/relative/neighbour who has dogs she can run with? If she needs it, book her into a training-class: a great leveller, because it takes the fear out of meeting dogs en masse.

And work on the home-situation: show her/him you’re the Boss. My house! My furniture! (invitation only.) My bed! (you’ve got your own.)

My doorways (which I cross first, thank you) My food, My biscuits (I eat before you, sunshine) My stuff (you’ve got your own) and most of all, My rules. Small, subtle things

bated breath only for this world news to be broadcast for about five minutes over just one lunchtime in just the one day.

Whatever happened to it? Fuse burnt out perhaps. (I had more excitement watching the libel case battle between two ‘Wags’ on BBC and Johnny Depp and his erstwhile wife on ITV.) (Yawn.) This headstrong rush to find other life forms is worrying. It is enough to make you yearn for some undiscovered black hole to suddenly appear and be large enough to encompass all the planets in our solar system. No likelihood of that happening I suppose.

I note that the phenomenon of importing American ‘customs’ has had another addition lately. We are already loaded down with baby showers, prom nights and American Football and now must endure the latest mannerism where every political scandal has got to have the word ‘gate’ attached to it to have any significance. It all started with Watergate in President Nixon’s honourable occupation of the White House. Since then, all scandals of any concern in this country must be ‘gated.’ We therefore have our own ‘partygate’, ‘beergate’ and most recently ‘porngate’ although ‘tractorgate’ might be a cleaner alternative. I am a bit surprised that we did not have ‘Crossed legsgate.’ On the topic of crossed legs in parliament I think it very unfair to distract those MP’s accessing porn on their mobile phones.

Some might say it’s a waste of public money as those MP’s who engage in this practice are doing it ‘in work’s time.’ Still If it is a help in researching tractors, then the modest £84.000 plus salary they receive is money well spent. Nice work if you can get it.

that can help change bad behaviour. Welcome to Nice Little Dog Syndrome.

Next training-course begins: Tuesday, 21st June Autumn session commences: Tuesday 27th September For further details and all things Dog, please visit: www.hornseadogowners.co.uk

Of course none of this has much impact on Hornsea but wait a minute………there is surely a tourist opportunity here as we have four ‘gates’ of our own to exploit. All we need are a series of half-credible, halfbaked, back-stories to reveal scandals from yesteryear that led to the naming of Northgate, Southgate, Eastgate and Westgate. Visitors would be intrigued to visit the locations where these scandals were perpetrated and in doing so would boost the local economy.

We could start with a tale about a fictitious Lord North who once eloped to Hornsea with a chambermaid who was in the ‘family way’ and so bringing disgrace on her family. Admittedly it needs a bit of embellishment, but the essentials are there for our Northgate.

Moving on to Eastgate this should be easier to concoct a story with all those large houses hiding innumerable secrets.

Ripe for ‘whodunnits’ and mystery weekends.

Southgate was once the scene for ‘taking the waters’ with all those visits for health benefits hiding what was really going on back in Victorian times when restraint was being abandoned in the heady atmosphere of free love.

Westgate could perhaps be depicted as hiding some financial scandal linked to something obscure, like a weirdly named crypto currency.

The list is endless. I feel a book is coming on titled: ‘The Gates of Hornsea.’

A 21st Century Scandal.’

Bound to be a Best Seller. Aren’t they all?

The real beauty of these ‘yet to be revealed scandals’ would be that music does not even warrant a mention, and that fresh air is kept to a minimum.

Kyphosis, Lordosis and Scoliosis

By Graham Janes

THE NATURAL curvatures of our spine are very important for enabling its strength, flexibility and ability to distribute the mechanical stress evenly. There are many different types of spinal conditions that we can develop – some have an over or underpronounced curvature and others can have a sideways curve that will also cause the spine to rotate.

A healthy spine, when looking at it from the side, would have a soft ‘S’ shape and when looking from the front or back, it would appear straight. The spine has three sections: ● Cervical – neck ● Thoracic – upper and middle back ● Lumbar – lower back We use the terms Lordosis and Kyphosis when referring to the natural curves of the spine as well as when the curves go beyond the normal range. Normal Lordotic curves, which go forwards, are found in our cervical and lumbar spine whilst Kyphotic curves bend backwards and are found in the Thoracic spine. These curvatures work together to protect the biomechanics and health of our spine by keeping it aligned when we lose one or more of the curves it will affect our spine as well as other areas of our body in one or multiple ways.

LORDOSIS Although it usually affects the lumbar, this exaggerated inward curvature can also affect our cervical spine giving a Swayback appearance where our buttocks are more prominent. It can affect people of all ages and when present in our lower back, it has the ability to cause varying levels of mobility and pain issues. Some of the causes include: ● Spondylolisthesis - This is a spinal condition that develops as the vertebra slip out of place and put pressure on the ones below resulting in added pressure and friction affecting the health of the affected and adjacent discs. The vertebrae will shift and the spine will develop an abnormal Lordotic curve. ● Osteoporosis – Is a disease that affects the health of our bones and develops as the body loses bone mass which will start to weaken the bones and make us more prone to injury. Osteoporosis is more common in women as they reach an age where they experience hormonal changes due to the Menopause. ● Obesity – Because we are carrying more weight the lumbar spine will be put under extra stress.

exaggerated outward curve in our spine and can cause us to develop a forward-rounded posture (Roundback). It most commonly affects the Thoracic region of our spine but can also be found in the Cervical. As with Lordosis, Kyphosis has many different types, the three most common are: ● Postural – This is the most common type and can be detected during our adolescent years. It will be seen as poor posture and is easily recognisable due to slouching causing a smooth and round curve which is more common in girls. As it is postural and not structural, it is not classed as progressive and therefore the easiest to treat. ● Scheuermann’s – A structural condition first described by the Radiologist, Scheuermann, who noticed that the vertebrae were triangular rather than their normal rectangular shape. Being triangular means that the vertebrae are not able to maintain the natural curvature and alignment of the spine as it decreases the space between the discs resulting in a forward curvature giving a rounded-forward appearance and is more common in boys.

The curves will be sharp and stiff causing pain especially when adulthood is reached. ● Congenital – This form which progresses with growth, develops due to a malformation in the spinal column which sees the vertebrae either not forming as they should or being fused together and is present at birth.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS & SYMPTOMS? Again, these will vary dependant on type and severity but the most common signs and symptoms of Kyphosis are: ● Muscle pain and fatigue ● Rounded shoulders and a forwardrounded posture ● Visible arch on the back ● Tight hamstrings and spinal stiffness If not treated or not treated properly, Kyphotic curves can become progressive which will cause additional symptoms such as: ● Loss of feeling and sensation ● Breathing impairment ● Weakness, numbness and/or tingling in our legs

SCOLIOSIS Scoliosis is a condition where the spine abnormally curves sideways and rotates.

The most common form of Scoliosis,

accounting for approximately 80% of cases, is Idiopathic which means it has no known single cause. The remaining 20% is associated with known causes such as congenital, traumatic, degenerative and neuromuscular.

Scoliosis is a progressive condition and can cause varied levels of pain ranging from mild to chronic and unbearable. It does not usually cause much pain in children and young adults as the skeleton is still growing but when the person reaches skeletal maturity, they become exposed to the compressive forces of the curve that can be felt on their spine and surrounding blood vessels, muscles and nerves.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS & SYMPTOMS? As with Lordosis and Kyphosis, the signs and symptoms for Scoliosis greatly depend on the type, severity, age and location of the curvature. Common signs and symptoms include: ● Pain in the back, neck, legs or head which is more common in adults ● A visible curvature in the spine ● Uneven shoulders and/or shoulder blades ● Uneven hips with arms and legs that appear to hang at different lengths ● A change in gait and balance If you think that you or somebody else may have Lordosis, Kyphosis or Scoliosis it is very important to be proactive and get an early diagnosis and treatment. At the clinic, as well as receiving the correct care for the soft tissues that surround the curvature, we will design a programme for you to do at home which will help you reduce the abnormal curvature and increase your core strength so that your spine can be better supported.

Advice on this or any injury can be discussed by simply getting in touch via phone, email etc and we will be more than happy to help.

Unfortunately for the clinic Eleanor has been offered a chance of a lifetime position which she couldn’t refuse and has moved on to work at an elite sports rehabilitation centre a lot closer to home as well as being the academy physio for Doncaster Knights.

She will be missed by all and I wish her all the very best for the future.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS & SYMPTOMS? Every case will be different but the common symptoms associated with Lordosis are: ● An abnormal forward curvature of the spine ● Issues with mobility ● Developing a Swayback ● Pain and/or discomfort ● Buttocks will be more pronounced ● When laying down on the floor, there will be a more noticeable gap between your back and the floor

KYPHOSIS This abnormal spinal curvature will see an

Hornsea District Walking Club update

By Arnold Underwood and Joyce Davidson 1

Days Away in the Lake District The main feature of the past month has been the Club's 'Spring Break' in the Lake District. The group was booked into the Patterdale Hotel, overlooking Ullswater for five nights at the end of April, and they were blessed with good weather the whole time!

The Participants: Sylvia Caygill, John Cleverley, Sue Copeland, Joyce Davidson, Marie Francis, Ian Grantham, Gemma Grantham, Marjorie Grantham, Ann Horner, Dudley Horner, Stuart Kemp, Betty Lusby, Jyl Midgley, Neil Patrick, Pat Procter, John Stocks, Alan Tharratt, Suzanne Watson, and Carron York.

Organiser and Club Chairperson, Joyce Davidson takes up the story: "On Sunday 24th April 17 members and two guests arrived at the Patterdale Hotel in Cumbria for a wonderful 5-day walking break. As Joyce (organiser) had put together a folder of walks suggestions direct from the Hotel and the surrounding area, it was possible for members to choose whether or not they wished to join a more strenuous group, take an easier low level route, or simply have a day off; this plan worked extremely well.

After travelling over to the Lakes on Sunday morning the group met up at lunchtime at Little Salkeld in the Eden Valley, not far from Penrith. This five mile walk took them to the stone circle of Long Meg and her Daughters, which is the second largest circle in England with a diameter of 350ft. From there the path led across to a little historic church before reaching Glassonby for a lunch stop.

Continuing through Glassonby they came to the beautiful River Eden and Lacy’s Caves. The caves were carved out of the sandstone cliffs by Colonel Lacy who once tried to blow up the stones of Long Meg Stone Circle.

Monday saw 14 tackle the week's first fullday walk which was the circular route up to The Knott via Angle Tarn returning past Brothers Water and Hartsop. John C, John S and Alan continued up onto High Street to the Beacon and they then bravely descended off Gray Crag to the Filter House. The highlight for all was watching a red squirrel on the climb up to Boredale Hause.

On Tuesday the group divided and 10

walked the length of the south side of Ullswater up to Pooley Bridge following the Ullswater Way. This was a beautiful walk but tricky in places because of tree roots up to the water's edge. An enjoyable lunch stop was taken at the Howtown Tea Room. After delicious coffee and cakes they continued on the final, easier stretch to Pooley Bridge. This was a day filled with fantastic views looking back across the lake to the Helvellyn range, and the RAF Typhoons doing their training exercise flypast, Steamers running up and down the lake, and a variety of wild flowers etc.

The walkers returned to Patterdale on the last Steamer of the day, Lady of the Lake.

A member of staff gave us a run-down on the history of what is believed to be the oldest working passenger boat in the UK, having been launched on 26th June 1877.

A smaller group, Ann, Dudley, Carron and Marie decided they would like to do a return trip on the Steamer and they walked the Dalemain circular route of 5 miles from Pooley Bridge. Dalemain Mansion is an historic country house and gardens and is famous for its annual Marmalade Festival with Marmalade Awards.

Wednesday turned out to be a 'free' day.

As it was forecast to be the best day of the week it was decided this would be the day for members to tackle Helvellyn or other high level routes if they wished. In fact they actually split into several groups.

Sylvia, Pat, Alan, John S, John C and Neil achieved the ascent of Helvellyn (3117 ft) on a 13-mile route, avoiding the notorious 'edges'. Helvellyn is the third highest of the 214 Lakeland Fells. On this fine day the group was rewarded with a 360° panoramic view from the summit.

Sue and Joyce had regretted not continuing onto High Street on Monday and so they had a wonderful day walking 'on top of the world' as far as The Beacon (2719 ft) and back (15 miles). Highlights were numerous but probably seeing a red squirrel again and a large group of red deer, topped their day off.

A third group, Jyl, Betty, Stuart, Suzie, Carron and Marie were able to take the 508 bus from the hotel to Penrith and from there to Keswick where they enjoyed lunch out and a short walk before returning to Patterdale.

Thursday saw more options being

discussed and once again different groups were formed to make the most of the last full day.

Alan, John S, Sue and Sylvia walked the Sheffield Pike circular (2215 feet) via Glenridding. Stuart, Betty, Jyl, Pat and Joyce took the bus to Pooley Bridge and walked the Dalemain circular. Neil and Suzie went to the Rheged Heritage Centre near Penrith, whilst Carron and Marie went to Aira Force.

Sadly the week was fast coming to a close and the final walk was on Friday morning where they all met up at Aira Force car park, four miles along the road from The Patterdale Hotel. They walked the well known route up to the top of the waterfalls and then continued to Dockray for the pleasant return to the car park from where they all went their separate ways home.

It was extremely fortunate that the weather was dry and mostly warm and sunny for the whole week. The Patterdale Hotel provided perfect accommodation and on a dinner, bed and breakfast deal is extremely good value, as well as being a great base for a variety of walks of differing levels.

Finally, it was wonderful to get back to having time away as a Club after all the lock-downs and events of the last two years and I'm sure we will now be able to look forward to many more to come.

Thank you to every single member for making this walking holiday so enjoyable and successful".

Club Walks The first Sunday of May saw 12 Walking Club members setting off from the historic Kilnwick Percy Hall, now home of the Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, on a shorter 7mile walk led by Joyce Davidson. This walk was the first bluebell walk of the season and the route follows the Yorkshire Wolds Way for much of the time. Although the weather was fine, the views over Millington Heights were a little hazy. After some road walking they entered woodland known as 'The Belt' where the bluebells were prolific. They rejoined the Wolds Way for return to Kilnwick Percy. Highlights were obviously the bluebells, but also watching several Red Kites soaring above. Most visited the

8

excellent World Peace Café at Kilnwick Percy Hall for tea and cakes after the walk.

The first Summer Evening Walk took place on Wednesday, May 11. On a fine evening there were only eight takers for this walk from Hornsea - perhaps earlier rain had put people off! Led by Stuart Kemp, they headed out of town along Hull Road then joined the Rail Trail/TransPennine Trail for a brisk walk to Goxhill.

After a short break by the church they continued across fields towards Wassand then back overlooking the Mere to Hull Road, to complete the 5 mile walk just after 9pm. Most adjourned to the Stackhouse Bar for a well-deserved drink!

Other walks by Club Members: David and Margaret spent the May Bank Holiday based in their regular (second home!) B&B in Goathland. Their walks were from the top of Blue Bank, with views over Eskdale, down to Grosmont and back the Goathland; around Goathland visiting Mallyan Spout and Beck Hole; and finally from Sledgates car park overlooking Robin Hoods Bay, by way of Ramsdale Mill.

On May 1, Arnold and Caroline visited Riccall Dale, near Helmsley on their 8 mile walk. Every year this secluded dale puts on one of the best shows of bluebells in the north of England, but please don't tell anyone. The two walkers only encountered a few others on the day.

Because there is no convenient parking for the dale, access involves a mile or two walk from Helmsley or Beadlam.

The fine weather attracted the pair back to the moors on the following Sunday with a 7 mile walk via the Bridestones from the village of Lockton. There were a few more people here exploring these weird weathered rock formations as the nearest car park is by Staindale Lake on the Dalby Forest Drive (fee payable). However it does involve a steep climb up from the lake onto Bridestones Moor!

and finishing between 9 and 9.30pm.

Anyone is invited to join the walk even if they are not Club members.

Wed 1st June: North Frodingham (The Blue Post, 7pm) Wed 8th June: Hutton Cranswick (Green, 7pm) Wed 15th June: Harpham (St Quentin Arms, 7pm) Wed 22nd June: Woodmansey (Warton Arms 7pm) Wed 29th June: South Cave (Market Place, 7pm) (Please ask permission to use pub car parks.)

Windfarm breezes in with support for the Hornsea Town Walking Football Club

By Chris Smith THE DOGGER Bank Wind Farm has contributed towards the Hornsea Town Walking Football Club acquiring the latest portable and fully automated defibrillator. Dogger Bank Wind Farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor and Eni. Chris Lund, the club’s chairman was full of praise for the project’s generosity which has helped to provide a vital piece of medical equipment to give added confidence to the growing membership of the club’s over sixties players.

Lead medical officer, Jon Fish, commented: “I am pleased that Hornsea Town WFC now has a ‘state of the art’ portable defibrillator which can travel with players to tournament and league matches.”

SUPPORT: Alex Hanson, SSE Renewables Community Engagement Officer, is photographed with members of the Hornsea Town Walking Football Club’s committee

On the Bank- Tansterne Fishery By Ron Bulless CARP have still to spawn, with a water temperature climbing to 17c it will not be long before the frenzy begins. Anyone who has visited a pond when the spawning period is in full swing will tell you it is complete madness. The fish are thrashing about in the margins and against the islands with many males following a single female, waiting for her to discharge her eggs and thousands upon thousands are discharged into the water.

These eggs are fair game for other carp and species to eat and then when the fry hatch, again another feeding frenzy takes place as this is massive protein for the fish. This is nature and every pond river needs only the chosen few to survive and there will be millions of eggs laid each and every year and if the majority were not eaten the

waters would be too thick with fish and not enough oxygen would exist in the water for them to survive. On the other hand, two years after the new fish have survived it is amazing to catch them as they are in wonderful condition and it is the sign of a healthy pond if the fish can reproduce and restock the water.

It is also the time of year when I get asked to do most lessons as the weather is good and juniors may not have fished for eight months the excitement when they revisit the pond and get the first bite and then land the first fish of the season. On May 16 there was a father and his two sons on the pond and I went over to see how they were doing. "We have been told if we want to catch come to Tansterne and ask for Ron" they said and do I know him "l am him I

said". I had a look at their rigs and end tackle and as always it needed some work - the line was pig tailed and the hook was not set right. I spent 15 minutes re rigging all three rods and moved them to different pegs. Keegan the youngest was first in I fed some 4m pellets into a swim -re plumbed his line put two white and one red maggot on the hook and it was not four seconds before a ghost carp sailed off with his bait. This would be the biggest fish he ever caught but not for long. His brother was next and again a change of end tackle and correctly plumbing saw him playing a carp not much later.

So, to dad and I explained we were going for bigger fish and different bait-I got two pints of 4m feed pellet and 5 slices of dairylea cheese slice and in we went. I will not bore you with the day they had

but within one hour Keegan had 15 fish in the net his brother was catching as well and dad had a personal best. " Can we come back tomorrow " they asked dad but I said I would not be around until Thursday and so they booked in for Thursday also bringing additional family members. To me, if you put time into new anglers, you will be rewarded not just with extra income and further visits but the look of delight on the faces of children when they have a decent fish on the line.

Now, as a contrast there was a knock up on the pond on Sunday, May 15 and the fish were on it - the match was won with 198lb followed by 194|b and 6th place had over 100lb - this is what match fishing is all about - drawing or picking your peg then sorting your tactics and swims and catching as you can in

the time allowed. As I come to finish drafting this article a couple of days after starting it, I have just come in from a walk around the ponds and it has gone into full spawning frenzy. There are areas where the water is like a jacuzzi, this will go on for several days. As a pond owner who has the welfare of the fish at heart, I would say to anyone going pleasure fishing over the period to the end of May please do not use a keep net for this period of time - the fish are stressed and some will die naturally during the spawning period, do not put others at risk. By the beginning of June, it will all be over and keep nets will be ok to use again. You will all be catching strong and healthy fish whichever pond you visit.

Tight lines, Ron Bulless

Hornsea Outdoor Bowling Club update

By Ron Bulless THE GREEN looks in excellent condition. There are new impact boards and ditch liners and it has been given a lick of paint indoors and out ready to welcome plenty of new members for the coming season. Firstly, all of us would like to thank new sponsors and donators of various goods and services.

Those visiting will see new sponsor signs displaying firms such as D&S Blinds, Longbeach Caravan Park, Steve Thompson motor refinishers, Robinsons Builders Merchants and Harvatts the Jewellers. These are our key new sponsors. We would also like to thank Tesco and Heron of Hornsea for provisions, Lucien’s Wine Bar for a cash donation, Northorpe Joinery for two new planter boxes and Kieran of Londis Cliff Road and Leven Garage for provisions. You all help make us a successful club and reduce the burden of running the club on such a small budget.

The season began the first week of May and results so far: Monday evening - game 1 Fenners at home and an 8-0 loss followed by an 8-0 win over Haltemprice Tues/Thurs A Team - started poorly with losses of 6-0 to Beeford and 5-1 to Nafferton but pulled back with a 6-0 win over Sledmere A and 6-0 win at Walkington.

Just a reminder we have a roll up every Friday afternoon for those that want to come along and practice or try their hand at this wonderful game.

The rest of us are warm now as we make the first climb up past the golfers, dog walkers and Sunday strollers. Reaching the top of the rise we have some welcome dappled shade provided by the overhanging trees. Then back into the sunshine and the drop into the dip and rise leading to Walkington lights. Past halfway and the pace picks up on the road back to the golf club. Then we round the corner and there is the Minster, St Mary's and Beverley laid out before us. The run down to Lairgate and into the cobbled market square is fun.

Crowds are cheering and leaning over the barriers to spot their Chris Ashmead's view: Waking early to a beautiful blue sky relatives for a special, red faced meant it was going to be another last photo before the finish. Then warm run at the Beverley 10k. There there is Wednesday Market place was a tremendous buzz of and the finishing arch, the welcome anticipation outside East Riding bleep of the time chips registering College in Flemingate. Hundreds of another race done. Well done runners greeting friends. Club Harriers. runners taking selfies, and posing for group photos. A riot of colourful Times were as follows: running gear. Then right on cue we Robert Field- 39:41 all start to move to the east end of Neil Pratt- 46:28 the majestic Beverley Minster, and Peter Robinson- 49:44 the narrow medieval street where Nichola McPhun- 52:07 we will start. The air horn sounds Craig Waites- 54:01 and we are off, a sea of bobbing Chris Ashmead- 1:01:12 figures, moving to the cheers of the Nicola Ralph- 1:05:20 waiting crowds. We reach Beverley Jacqui Hanson- 1:05:20 nothing compared to what was to come. Hills galore and descents to test the nerves on the rocky paths.

All the while the sun was getting stronger. The three sisters hills provided some serious uphill sections to contend with. A total of a mile climb over the marathon course altogether. Energy sapping!

Nonetheless it is definitely one of the most beautiful routes imaginable.

Liz completed the course (with voluntary extra miles) and her time was 4 hours 36. After a later than planned race start Mark and Peter completed the marathon in 5 hours 55. A thoroughly enjoyable event and quite a few red sunburn patches by the end.

Hornsea Harriers May review THESE are the recent races that the Harriers have taken part in: Peter Hardy-Cork's view: The Hornsea harriers were represented at the Wainstones Hardmoors trail marathon on Sunday, May 8 by Mark Williamson, Peter and Liz Hardy-Cork. Liz opted for the Half marathon, 16 miles (value for money as it’s normally 13.2 plus an additional 1 and half miles for getting lost completely free). The others did the 28 mile marathon +.

The day started off cool with an eerie mist across the North Yorkshire hills. It was clear that it wouldn’t stay that way.

The initial mile was practically a walk due to the immediate hill and climb onto the moors. This was

Louise Parish's view: Leeds Half Marathon was a tough one. At the beginning of the week I wasn't sure I'd make it due to being poorly. Anyway I did it, it was really hot and a very tough course. My Heart Rate was sky high considering my pace.

Goodness knows how I'm going to run double the distance next year, it's a good job I'd signed up before today.

I completed it in 2:28:01

Evelyn Bowes: Well that was a killer!! Hills are my worst nightmare and they were a plenty. It was soo busy, loads of runners. The big queues for the toilets were slightly worrying I nearly missed the race start.

I was very pleased to get under an hour considering my pace on the hills. I'm absolutely shattered even after the nana nap on the way home.

Chris finished in 1:01:24 Evelyn finished in 58:50

Matt Robinson's view: Leeds Half Marathon was a really fun route with amazing spectators, it was hard work as ever but managed a PB of 1:54:45. Mark Thomas completed it in 1:45:42.

These are the views of Chris Ashmead and Evelyn Bowes for the Pontefract 10K on Sunday 15th May: Chris Ashmead: Really enjoyed this race today. It was hilly, but it was a lovely route.

Loads of people there. It took me over two and half mins to cross the start line and there were plenty of others behind me.
