Plans come together locally for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend as we appeal for readers to share their memories LOCAL councils, community groups and businesses are now well into the planning phases for celebration events for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

On February 6 The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.

To celebrate this unprecedented anniversary a four day UK bank holiday weekend will run from Thursday, June 2 to Sunday, June 5. The long bank holiday is to provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone.

Hornsea’s Jubilee Committee chaired by current Mayor, Councillor Tim Bunch, are organising town events for the Thursday evening and Sunday daytime. The Thursday evening will see Hornsea’s beacon, near the Hornsea Hub, lit along with beacons across the country. There will also be stalls and children’s rides on the seafront. Over 1,500 beacons will be lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories.

On Sunday, June 5 a party will be held in Hall Garth Park to coincide with The Big Jubilee Lunch. This is where communities are encouraged to celebrate their connections and get to know each other a little bit better, coming together in a spirit of fun and friendship. Community groups and local charities have also been invited to have a free stall in the park on that day as well as children’s rides planned.

Hornsea Crafty Shedders are beginning work on the hundreds of metres of bunting for the town decorations with anyone able to help asked to get in touch. Hornsea Urban Gardeners are planning red, white and blue themed planting for the town and bunting for the street signs – more information on this is in their column on page 16.

In Leven, plans are underway to hopefully decorate main streets and new signs marking the jubilee have gone up on the village planters.

More information will be provided nearer the time so please do keep us posted with your community plans. We are preparing a special jubilee events edition of the paper for the June edition delivered at the end of May. As part of this we would like to hear from anyone who has met the Queen over the last 70

Hornsea Community Primary School receive donation towards outdoor learning provision ATWICK Educational Charity have recently donated £500 to Hornsea Community Primary School.

This Charitable Trust was formed when the former school in Atwick was handed over to the village by Humberside County Council. Under the scheme of the Trust, the available income may be used to provide items not normally provided for by the Local Education Authority for schools serving Atwick pupils.

Reverend Tina Minett Stevens presented the donation and said: “The trustees are delighted to award £500 towards the provision of an outdoor area which will support the learning of the children at the Community Primary.”

Remembering fallen airmen in Atwick LOCAL resident Nick O’Mahoney was walking his dogs when he came across a memorial to lost airmen in his home village of Atwick. For those of you who have been reading the excerpts from the book ‘Alberta Canada’ serialised in the Hornsea Community News this is the memorial to the air disaster that the story by David Everard is based upon.

Having both served in the military Nick and his partner Mandy Inman decided they wanted to clean up the memorial as a mark of respect to the fallen airmen. On the eve of the anniversary on February 19 Mandy went back to clean it and paint the box, add a new vase for flowers, sort the

memorial stone and to show her respects for the fallen airmen. Nick then attended at midnight on the anniversary itself.

The disaster occurred on February 20, 1944 when just after midnight the flight set off from nearby RAF Lissett with a full cargo of ammunition on board heading for a campaign in Leipzig (Germany). Just nine minutes into its flight it crashed in this field in Atwick due to an engine failure, killing all seven crew on board. Nick and Mandy have committed to keep the memorial in good order as a mark of respect to those lost.

JOURNALIST’S NEW LEASE OF LIFE AS A FUNERAL CELEBRANT FORMER East Yorkshire journalist Gina Hobbs has made a dramatic career change to become a funeral celebrant following the death of her mother.

The 62-year-old swapped the newsroom for a lectern in a life-changing career move after suddenly losing her mum, Sheila, in February 2020.

“I was dreading the day of mum’s funeral and honestly didn’t know how I’d get through it,” said Gina, “but it was nothing like I had expected. In fact, it was a beautiful day, warm and full of love, largely due to the celebrant delivering the perfect send-off we had chosen for mum.

“I was so impressed that it inspired me to re-train as a funeral celebrant and launch a new service in East Yorkshire helping people to create the funeral they want for their loved ones.”

Gina’s move follows more than 30 years working on local newspapers including The Hull Daily Mail, Swindon Advertiser and Holderness Gazette as well as a stint as Hull Truck Theatre’s press officer.

Gina is now a member of The Fellowship of Professional Celebrants as a civil funeral celebrant and works with local funeral directors to provide a bespoke service.

“My job is to create the funeral each family wants for their loved one, from the opening words and the eulogy to the closing words and the music.”

Gina works directly with each family to

create a non-religious service with words, music and poetry and if they wish visual tributes.

As an independent celebrant she can deliver a non-religious service with or without a spiritual theme and prayers.

Ceremonies usually take place at a crematorium, a graveside, or at a woodland burial. Each is unique and carried out with dignity, following the deceased’s family’s wishes to reflect their loved one’s life in the manner they choose.

“I’ve even included a snippet of Only Fools and Horses which the family wanted in one service where we also had The Lord’s Prayer.

“I’ve worked under canvas in a marquee lit by a chandelier, conducted a memorial service in a village hall, and led a graveside service,” Gina explained.

“Meeting each family at such a vulnerable time in their lives when their core has been shattered and they are grieving their loved one is not easy. It’s very humbling and a great privilege and an honour to enter their lives for a short time to guide them through how they want to say goodbye to their loved one.

“I’m not a bereavement counsellor, that’s not my job, but you have to take time, be empathetic and sympathetic and listen to their story.

“It’s a celebrant’s job to recreate moments in that person’s life and to retell it truthfully with meaning, the way the family want their loved one’s story to

be told and if you can raise a smile at a memory during the service that’s rewarding. It's also gratifying when fAamily and friends tell you, you’ve done their relative proud.”

One family told Gina the funeral was very fitting for their mum; another said they couldn’t have chosen anyone better to lead the ceremony.

Now local Women’s Institutes have asked Gina to talk about her role as a civil celebrant. She’s also working on a collection of essays and poetry about bereavement, dedicated to her mum and says you’re never too old to try something new.

Gina can be contacted on: 07739 378 609 or Emailed on: ginavhobbscelebrant@outlook.com and you can find out more about celebrants at: www.professionalcelebrants.org.uk CAREER CHANGE: Gina Hobbs has swapped working in local journalism to become a funeral celebrant (photo by Natasha Golley)

The stolen items include impact guns, drills, jigsaw, pipe cutters and impact sockets.

The police are appealing for anyone with any information about the

burglary or the whereabouts of the tools to please get in touch. You can do so by calling their non-emergency 101 line quoting crimes reference 16/22230/22 or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Hornsea estate agents working with local schools to plant trees to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee QUICK & Clarke Estate Agents in Hornsea Market Place have committed to planting a selection of trees for every house sale they make throughout 2022.

The project is part of the Queen’s Green Canopy in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.

The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”. With a focus on planting sustainably, the QGC will encourage planting of trees to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation, which will benefit future generations.

Quick and Clarke are working with local primary schools to deliver the project and inspire a new generation on the importance of trees.

The primary schools involved in the project include Hornsea Community Primary, Hornsea Burton Primary, Brandesburton Primary, Sigglesthorne Primary, Skirlaugh Primary and Skipsea Primary School who will all plant trees in their garden areas.

Catherine Harding, Director at Hornsea Quick and Clarke explained the relevance of the project to her personally: “I started working at Quick and Clarke in 2002 the day after the bank holiday weekend to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. It seems appropriate to celebrate the platinum jubilee in this way the year

that I have become the Hornsea director taking over from Derek Smith.

“It will be nice to be able to leave this legacy for future generations. As a local estate agents, we are keen to support our local communities. Following our work with Brandesburton Primary School supporting the children’s efforts in conjunction with World Bee Day last May and the packets of seeds we gave out from the office in the lead up to World Bee Day we are continuing with that important outdoor theme.

“Although we are committed to planting trees within local schools, if any of the wider community would like to talk to us about planting trees elsewhere in the community do get in touch.”

Local residents raise objection over plans for a 123 acre biomass site near Aldbrough PLANS for a huge 123 acre expansion to GB Bio site at Tansterne have Aldbrough residents deeply concerned.

A spokesperson for Aldbrough Parish Council commented: “These are the latest plans for the area which has already seen a site that was reduced in size to pass planning, get built. This has sat dormant for more than five years due to various failings.”

Full Planning Permission for the erection of a biomass and waste wood processing building, creation of an open storage area with stockpiling pens/bays, erection of fire pump house and installation of a weighbridge, construction of access and service road with associated parking and creation of reed bed and rainwater harvesting lagoons, planting of a woodland block and associated landscaping and boundary treatments and enclosures. Outline planning permission is also being sought for the erection of up to four vertical farming units, a bio-refinery, creation of up to two rainwater harvesting lagoons and two attenuation ponds with associated works, installation of 1 4MW electrolyser unit, hydrogen storage tanks, up to six CO2 storage tanks and up to 40 battery storage units, creation of an access road, construction of underground and overground pipelines and electrical power cabling, construction of a 11kV substation and a high voltage substation with associated landscaping, hedgerows, fencing and wildlife habitats.

Local residents are concerned about the over industrialisation of the area which amounts to roughly the size of 70 football pitches.

There have been 64 objections registered on the

planning application at the time of going to print. The site is only 0.3 miles from the village of Aldbrough.

Residents are predominantly concerned with the impact the development would have on their lives from the noise and 24 hours lighting. There will also be an increase in HGVS along rural roads which they claim are unsuitable for the amount of traffic expected with concerns this will create greater danger to those using the route during the building phase and to keep a plant of this size operational. The impact on those using the route will lengthen their traveling time to Hull as well as increase the traffic through small villages such as Sproatley and Flinton.

Other concerns are over the impact burning waste wood will have on the environment and possible health implications to those with underlying issues.

Residents are also left wondering if it will stop at this application as the owners of the site currently own an additional field alongside the site which has caused further concerns that it could increase even more in the future.

Aldbrough Parish Council are urging residents to have their say and not to leave it to others who may be thinking the same thing. The parish council have objected to the application stating: “Aldbrough Parish Council are strongly against this proposal and recommend it goes before the planning committee as it breaches a number of policies set by JSP and HDWLP.” Burton Constable Parish Council and East Garton Parish Council have also strongly objected to the application.

EAST Riding of Yorkshire Council is supporting a closed road motor rally heading for East Yorkshire when Beverley & District Motor Club host the East Riding Stages on February 27.

The event follows in the footsteps of the successful Clacton Rally which first ran in 2018, after Motorsport UK gave the green light for competitive events to take place on closed public roads.

A success over most of mainland Europe, Ireland, Isle of Man and Jersey, it has long been the wish of many motorsport fans in the UK to see similar events take place on British soil.

Yorkshire has long been the hot bed of rallying in England and it is fitting they now join the growing band of Closed Road Stage Rallies.

“It’s been over two years in planning, but over 40 years of dreaming,” said Rally event director Richard Vincent. “The club are hoping that the event will become a firm favourite amongst competitors and marshals alike. Running in late February it gives crews a chance to shakedown their old and new machinery without the pressure of championship points at stake.”

Cllr Jane Evison, portfolio holder for economic development and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The council is delighted to support the hosting of the East Riding Stages by Beverley & District Motor Club. It is so pleasing to be able to bring yet another experience to the residents in the East Riding and I am sure this is very exciting news for motor rally fans in the region.

“I know Yorkshire is a hotbed for rallying in England so we are all really looking forward to the event getting underway at the end of February.”

Eight stages are planned over two loops, offering 50

competitive miles of special stages to test the crews. They will be a mixture of tight and twisty to straight and simple, something to test even the most seasoned competitors. The rally has attracted a full entry of 100 cars.

Rally spectators can enjoy the action from the Coom Hill stage in the grounds of Burton Constable Hall, while wheelchair users can watch at the Rise stage.

Further information on the event can be found at: www.bdmc.org.uk To ensure that the club were able to organise an event on this scale they have worked closely with ESAG (Emergency Service Advisory Group), whose members work for all three blue light services as well as the East Riding of Yorkshire Councils Highways Department and Events Department. Full safety plans of each stage have been submitted showing where marshals will be located and how many there will be at each location with over 500 marshals signed up to the rally.

Members of the committee have visited all residents on route and Event Director, Richard Vincent said: “I am pleased to say that the event has been very well received. One resident at the end of our Rise stage has even bought himself a rally car and has entered the event!

“Lengthy negotiations have taken place between ourselves and Burton Constable Hall and Burton Constable Holiday Park to allow for a spectator area within their grounds. We are also using both the Hall and the Holiday Park as parking locations.”

Competitors are coming from as far afield as the Isle of Mull in Scotland, the West Coast of Wales, Southampton and all areas in between, including a dozen or so local crews. Each competing car will have a driver and co-driver and between two and five support mechanics. Richard added: “It’s fair to say that our local Hotels and B & Bs will be benefiting from these numbers. As an organising team, we are providing over 60 hotel rooms

for our officials. It’s anticipated that around 5000 spectators will attend the rally weekend.”

The event is also supporting both the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and The Motor Neurone Disease charities.

Hornsea Town Council object to plans to build 206 new homes in the town HORNSEA Town Council have voted to not support a planning application to build 206 houses off Hornsea Burton Road in the town.

The land earmarked in the local plan for housing lies to the east of Hornsea Burton Primary School.

Gleeson Regeneration Ltd have applied to build the 206 homes which include a mix of 46 two bedroom semi-detached homes, 62 three bedroom semidetached homes, 67 three 3 bedroom detached homes and 31 four bedroom detached homes.

The town council are not supporting the application as they describe it as a: “gross overdevelopment of the site.” They also added their reasons: “[a] lack of appropriate/affordable housing for older people/small families

which appears to contravene Policy H1 of the East Riding Local Plan and recommendations in the Strategic Housing Market Assessment 2019 in that a) there are no one bedroom properties proposed for this site which is lower than the SHMA recommends b) 40-45% of new dwellings should be two bedrooms, on this proposed development 22% are two bedrooms which is lower than the SHMA recommends c) 35-40% of new dwellings should be three bedrooms, on this proposed development 63% are three bedrooms which is higher than the SHMA recommends d) There is only provision of four bungalows within the proposed development, this represents a very small proportion of the overall development

(2%).”

Other issues they mention within the comments include concerns regarding surface water run-off from the site and the existing road system on approach to the site and in the wider town centre area being inadequate. They also express concerns regarding the lack of infrastructure and amenities.

Hornsea Town Council have stated it: “feels strongly about this application and asks that, if the officer is recommending a different decision, it should be referred to the planning committee for consideration.”

In addition to the Town Council not supporting the application at the point of going to print 16 objections have been made on the application by local residents.

Bench unveiled in Hall Garth Park in memory of popular Hornsea resident John Cordock ON SUNDAY, January 30 crowds gathered in Hornsea’s Hall Garth Park to witness the official unveiling of a memorial bench in honour of a very special Hornsea man, John Cordock.

John’s family said: “What a lovely day it was and the turnout was fantastic.”

John Cordock very sadly passed away in December 2020 and it was his mum Margaret Cordock, of Cordock’s of Hornsea (now Lucien’s), who decided upon the fitting tribute.

A well liked and familiar face among the Hornsea community, John, or “JC” as he was often known, lived in Hornsea for most of his life and grew up with his sister Sally above the shop ‘Cordock’s of Hornsea', owned by parents Ron and Margaret Cordock.

From an early age John loved sport and became a master of many. It was in Hall Garth Park where he began playing cricket, golf and football. He went on to win many sporting trophies and became a long standing talented member of Hornsea Golf Club.

The family couldn’t be happier with the position

March 2022

Hornsea Potteries was founded in 1949 by brothers Colin and Desmond Rawson.

Driven by a wide array of design influences the pottery quickly grew from being a purveyor of seaside tourist trinkets to the largest studio pottery in the world, employing over 700 people.

Hornsea’s rapid growth was generated of Hornsea Spirit Co. and the amazing new Heirloom, Saffron by widespread popularity and inspirational design. and Fleur gins, made locally.

that was available for the bench. Not only looking out across the area he played as a boy but also over at Cordock’s back garden and his childhood home, plus his favourite wine bar latterly!

John was a very accomplished guitarist and musician and he played in multiple bands over the years. He most recently founded and played in MissD & The Relics (originally MissT), a real Hornsea favourite.

On the day of the unveiling John’s mum Margaret cut a big red ribbon to officially declare the bench ‘open’ and his sister Sally gave a heartfelt speech. Once the ribbon was cut his niece Lizzie sprayed a bottle of fizz in celebration and the crowd enthusiastically hip hip hoorayed!

A red ribbon and white roses were deliberately chosen to decorate the bench representing JC's life long favourite football team Manchester United.

The family started a Just Giving page for anyone who felt they wanted to contribute towards the bench and were incredibly

touched to have reached the full total of £1000 set on the page - all from his very kind friends and extended family. They would like to thank everyone very much, and think JC would be absolutely “made up”.

After the unveiling Lucien himself very kindly hosted everyone back at Lucien’s.

The perfect place to gather; John was a well known and loved regular by both staff and punters, his band often played there, and of course it’s on the very site where he grew up.

John will always be incredibly missed and it’s a big hole that can never be filled. The family hope that the bench will be a place of comfort, peace and somewhere to go to sit and reflect for years to come.

It’s time to enjoy ourselves, above all the negative headlines.

Some of our shops have

altered their trading hours, at present the Market Place has been a little sleepy.

Trains Hair and Beauty has continued to be busy with the occasional cancellation due to Covid. We thank our customers for being so

Love your job By Emma-Jayne Saunt 1. There are senior people who can act as role models.

2. Employees have a lot in common with senior employees 3. There is accountability for violations of company policy, regardless of seniority or performance.

4. There are clear, trustworthy methods in place to report violations of company policy.

What do people mean when they say they feel a sense of belonging at their jobs? Belonging does not necessarily mean being popular with colleagues, nor does it mean feeling connected with work peers because you attended the same schools or live in the same area. What can business people do to build a culture of belonging in the workplace?

The Power of Belonging: What It Is and Why It Matters in Today's Workplace Examining what it means to belong at work and provides simple steps to build a feeling of belonging among employees. When we create a culture of belonging in our organisation, everyone wins. Here are a few of my key points.

16 Market Place, Hornsea. HU18 1AW ● Seen — When you are seen at work, you are recognised, rewarded, and respected by your colleagues. ● Connected — When you are connected at work, you have positive, authentic social interactions with peers, managers. ● Supported — When you are supported at work, those around you give you what you need to get your work done and live a full life.

These people may be peers, but their support can be invaluable.

The people who experience "high belonging" at their company feel more engaged with their work, they plan to stay at their job for at least two years, and they feel very loyal to their company. Those experiencing ‘low belonging’ are four times more likely to say they felt stalled in their careers, things are just not working out for them.

Companies/organisations An organisation, essentially, acts as the foundation for establishing a high belonging

Senior people Senior people set the tone in the workplace by: 1. Embodying the organisation’s values.

2. Modelling inclusive leadership by listening to all voices on their team.

3. Expressing transparency about their values.

4. Seeking to connect with employees in the workplace.

5. Sharing personal stories.

Managers Managers carry the culture by: 1. Praising their employees' work.

2. Providing regular, honest feedback to improve the work of employees.

3. Responding to employee concerns.

4. Publicly crediting employees for their contributions.

5. Empowering team members to make decisions.

It is often advised that those transitioning into management roles become the kinds of managers that they would have liked to work alongside when they were employees. As such, there is an interesting overlap between increasing belonging at the management and peer levels. Both managers and peers should be able to offer feedback and praise, as well as demonstrate responsiveness in their respective roles.

Peers Looking at the ways peers drive belonging with one another and ultimately build an inclusive culture: 1. They respect their colleagues' commitments outside of work.

2. Provide timely and honest feedback to colleagues on their work.

3. Praise colleagues' work.

4. Thank colleagues for their work.

5. Communicate openly and honestly with colleagues about their working relationship.

Gratitude is key, as is respecting and supporting one another’s work-life balance, for someone to feel seen, connected, supportive, and proud. Life in the workplace must be a happy one.

New bereavement support group in Hornsea holds successful first meeting

HORNSEA FIRST AID CENTRE UPDATE

A NEW bereavement support group in Hornsea opened its doors for the first time in February with several people walking through the doors of the first monthly support meeting.

The chair of Cameo bereavement support group, Glynis, has been passionate about setting up a support group for bereaved people in the area after losing her own

By Rosie Bullard

husband in 2021.The next informal meeting for anyone who has been bereaved will take place on Friday, March 4 between 1pm and 3pm at Hornsea Methodist Church in the back room with access through the door on Cinema Street. Anyone who would like to attend can expect a warm welcome by people with a shared experience. There will be

a chance to relax in a supportive environment and to help shape what the attendees need from the group. Visitors can pop in for 5-10 minutes or stay as long as they would like and enjoy a cup of tea / coffee.

Hornsea Town Council have awarded the group a £100 grant.

Hornsea NCI update I CAN happily say that spring is just around the corner…. ish. It seems to have been a long hard winter, with some really nasty weather along our coastline.

Numerous flood alerts have been issued by the Environment Agency over the last three months. They have all warned of flooding, waves overtopping the sea defences and spray along the coastline from Skipsea in the north through and past Mappleton in the south. The cliffs are certainly showing some wear and tear!

This poor weather has impacted on the number of folks walking the promenades and beaches. But there are still those who risk injury by ‘wave dodging’ in heavy seas. The risk here is that the waves do carry stones and pebbles and these can cause injury, especially to children. So please beware when walking in these conditions.

The NCI team are gearing up for the spring and summer and are now in a position to

increase the number of watchkeepers on watch in the station. This is as a result of the ongoing relaxation of the Covid 19 controls. We have also been able to re-commence our face to face monthly team meetings. This provides the opportunity to receive key updates on operational matters and discuss issues in much more detail. Better than relying on emails!

At the recent meeting held in January, Station Managers Award’s were presented to four of our members. This is in recognition of the extraordinary efforts they have made over the last two years in raising much needed funds and supporting all our activities. The station is very reliant on the contributions it receives from the public. Worthy of specific note are the Matoo family and their team who have again collected funds in their Family Choice Convenience store on Cliff Road. A big thankyou to them and especially all their customers who donated

formalising the charity and applying for funding now a clear need for such a service in the town has been established.

They also hope to have a stall with more information at forthcoming events in the town.

HORNSEA First Aid Centre has re- opened since our five week closure for Christmas and Omicron. We are open daily from 11am to 2pm until the clocks change, then we will be open 10am to 4pm.

We are a group of volunteers trained in First Aid regulated by the country’s leading awarding body, Qualsafe. Some of us have a much higher level of training, but despite this we do not diagnose or do any invasive techniques such as suturing. If we feel you need more than we are trained for we refer you on. First aiders are supported by the wonderful ‘meet and greeters’, who will meet and greet you and take some details. All volunteers are DBS checked.

By taking action through effective first aid, we can save lives, and prevent minor injuries becoming serious ones.

Minor injuries can be painful, but they don’t threaten your life, mobility or long-term survival.

Examples of minor injuries include the following: • Injuries to upper and lower limbs, sprains, strains, and muscle strain • Shallow cuts or abrasions, bruises and skin lesions • Minor head injuries • Bites – human, animal, fish and insects • Nosebleeds • Burns and scalds covering only a small area • Bumps and scrapes • Foreign bodies in the eyes and nose • Allergic reactions

through the collection box located in the store.

And a very big thank you to all of you who have continued supporting our station throughout 2021 and into 2022, be it through grants, business and personal donations, money into our collection boxes, whether in shops or on the gate at the watch station. We say a big Thank You! In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that awareness of the tides, weather and flood alerts is essential when visiting our beaches, this is particularly so if you are planning a walk

along the beaches and around the cliffs, where you are susceptible to being cut off by high tides. Please don’t take the risk, check our 24 hour weather report screen at the station on the promenade or go to our website at https://ncihornsea.org.uk for the latest weather updates and tide times.

WINNERS: Station Managers Awards winners outside the watchstation (Left to right) – Geoff Finch, Ron Charlton, Susan Ferguson, Malcolm Herring (Station Manager) and Graham Finch

We can give you a cup of tea or coffee to help take those worries away.

HART continues with its driver training AS WE'VE reported before, HART places great importance on high quality training for its drivers and this has continued despite Covid. Most recently it has involved the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC), which is a qualification for professional bus, coach and lorry drivers. It has been introduced across Europe with the aim of improving road safety and maintaining high standards of driving.

HART started using it around four years ago as a top up to existing training for its paid staff, and also offers it to volunteers. The time commitment is 35 hours every five years, or one seven hour module each year once you have the CPC. This particular module was on Driver and Vehicle

Safety and comprised two sessions of three and a half hours over different days. It was delivered by North East Transport Training, a social enterprise based in Aberdeenshire, who specialise in training for community transport operators - with all profits going back into providing community transport in their local area.

Covid has meant changes to the way the training is delivered, with much of it online. So in this case, some drivers did it from home while others were in the office, socially distanced and with Covid screens between desks. But HART Manager Caroline Wegrzyn sees advantages to having the training online, as well as being able to use this particular trainer: “Their

courses are well tailored to the sector and regularly updated as new laws come in or issues arise, which we find a very useful way of keeping everyone to the same standard and up-todate. They also have a good selection to choose from, and being online means meeting drivers from other organisations and different parts of the country, with lots of extra learning from the sharing of experiences.

It is really very convenient to do the training this way, but I am not sure if it will be allowed once the pandemic is over.”

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

Meanwhile, HART's local services continue as follows:

• The 220 public bus service between Hornsea and Bilton Church (connecting with the 277 to/from Hull), one journey in each direction MondayFriday (not bank holidays).

The single fare is £1 and the service is bookable only, by calling 01964 536684 at least 24 hours in advance.

• Shopper services to Beverley (twice a week) and

• 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 MondayThursday and 9am-1130 am on a Friday, and this time the booking number is 03456 445959.

Finally, despite the latest changes to Covid

regulations HART asks all passengers and drivers to carry on wearing a face covering, to sanitise hands regularly, and socially distance whilst on its vehicles. Please do not try to travel if you have Covid symptoms or feel generally unwell.

New year trip, fun and games for Hornsea Youth Club By Youth worker Allan Iles WE STARTED the year with a club visit to the HATS panto, Jack and the Beanstalk. Our young people enjoyed it greatly with lots of audience interaction from the excellent cast. We were very proud to see senior youth club member Joe Jenny performing on stage who was absolutely fantastic.

The club has received £75 in cash from youth club member Robyn Harper from the sale of her handmade Christmas decorations. This was gratefully received and will go towards more arts and craft equipment for the club. We plan to do more fundraising this year and are looking forward to getting involved with the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and Hornsea Carnival. Ideas are already taking shape for our Carnival float but we are in need of a lorry or large trailer to decorate for the parade, if anybody can help with this request please contact Amanda and Allan via email at hornseayouthclub@gmail.com.

So far this year we have enjoyed a board games session and valentine card making as well as all the usual fun activities. Our junior session remains at full capacity but we do have places for our senior session. If you are aged 11-18 and would like to see what we are all about just pop along to the youth club on a Tuesday evening at 7pm. The club is situated between Med-Mex and Crafty Coffee on Newbegin.

Diary of a Hornsea girl

By Rob Andrew WHEN entering my 50's we became grandparents for the first time to twins, Imogen and Isabelle, who are now fast approaching their eighth birthday. Luckily I didn't find myself in the position of ever having to deal with 'nappy issues' as the situation never arose. The last time I had to take part in the less joyous side of parenthood was the birth of my own three children, Nicholas now 36, Debbie 35 and Joe 30. So I've forgotten many of the other so called minor issues around what happens with little ones. Returning to the aforementioned 'nappy issues', as is the norm at 15 months, our bundle of joy makes regular gifts for Mum and Dad. Then came another first, instead of us having to detect a sometimes faint and other times not so faint whiff, this time we didn't have to wait. Alexandra went over to the changing station to bring to her astonished Dad the clean up bag, obviously feeling that it is important to be tidied up.

You can imagine my constant bewilderment when Alexandra reaches yet another milestone in her development, not knowing whether everything is moving along at breakneck speed or it is indeed perfectly normal behaviour.

A couple of things that stood out were when Dad Chris visited the other day our not so tiny girl decided to climb down from Grandad's knee, where we had

been happily reading, and put on her own rucksack ready to go home. Must have been a bit bored was my only thought. The back doors to our house can now easily be opened to make her way into the garden. She can move heavy toy boxes out of the way to give access to Daddy's Xbox and TV remote avoiding having to wait for a grown up to switch on the hourly ration of TV. Pretty sure we'll soon be finding out if it is indeed 'normal behaviour' who knows!?

‘SPENCER’

‘RESPECT’

The marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles has long since grown cold. Although rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen's Sandringham Estate. There's eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game – but this year, things will be profoundly different.

Kristen Stewart is captivating as Diana and delivers an Oscar-worthy character-study performance of the muchbeloved Princess in this imagining of what might have happened during those few fateful days.

Following the rise of Aretha Franklin's career – from a child singing in her father's church choir to her international superstardom – ‘Respect’ is the remarkable true story of the music icon's journey to find her voice.

Also starring Sally Hawkins, Timothy Spall, Sean Harris and Jack Farthing.

Genre: Drama, Biography Rating: 12A - Run Time: 1 hr 57 mins

Starring Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, who shines as ‘The Queen of Soul’, serving up a powerhouse performance that holds nothing back, Forest Whitaker, Mary J Blige and Audra McDonald.

Let’s Sing! Future secured through 2022 thanks to grant LET’S Sing! Hornsea are very happy to announce that their regular community singing sessions will be going ahead throughout 2022. This is thanks to the generosity of a new sponsor, which means they will be able to continue to offer free group singing every other Wednesday, followed by a social session with tea and cakes. Meetings take place in St Nicholas Parish Church Hall, from 1.30pm onwards and everyone is welcome to come along, whether they think they can sing or not.

Organiser Fiona Jerome said: “If I had a pound for each person who’s said ‘You wouldn’t want me, I can’t sing at all’ I’d be buying that yacht by now. Everyone can sing. It’s 10% voice and 90% confidence in that voice. And what we do by singing together is give people the confidence to open up and have a go because they know they won’t be

judged. So many of our regular members are really finding their voices after a few months of participation, and that makes me feel very proud.

“We’re not brilliant singers, we just enjoy singing together, and we find it very uplifting. I think we all go away from the sessions with a bit more bounce in our steps, feeling a little happier with the world. We get lots of lovely feedback from the group about how much coming and singing regularly means to them, and that gives us our motivation to keep going.”

All this is possible because of the generosity of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Do it for East Yorkshire Community Grant, which has awarded Let’s Sing! over 95% of its running costs for 2022. If you would like further information about the grant please visit

www.doitforeastyorkshire.co.uk/#co mmunity-grant.

“We are very grateful to the Council for recognizing our work in this way and allowing it to go ahead for another year,” said Fiona Jerome.

“Initially we thought a group like ours wouldn’t be eligible for a grant because we were so new but when we met people from the Council at the Hornsea Together event last year they encouraged us to apply. They helped us a lot with understanding the application as well. Which just

goes to show that even if you’re not sure it’s worth asking, as support may be out there from local funds.

“We were desperate to find funding because we really feel we provide a fun and creative outlet for people. We have already forged links with the local doctors’ surgery and are in the process of reaching out to local dementia groups to see if we can provide them with singing opportunities as well, so we hope to get involved with even more of the community over the next year.

Hornsea Urban Gardeners (HUG) preparing for spring By Chairman June Greensmith IT’S BEEN a busy month getting HUG plots ‘spring ready’ after the winter months. I’m pleased to say the HUG volunteers have now completed this task finishing with the North Promenade seawall raised border, rocky wall and the ‘Happy to chat’ corner.

Station Court, Southgate, Hornsea Burton Road, the entrances to the Trans Pennine Trail, Willows Drive Corner, Elim raised bed, Southgate Cross, King Street Corner, Scalby Close, and Quales Mews have been checked along with every planter across Hornsea and the Greenway.

Plus Marine Drive has seen a team effort to ensure it looks its very best.

Parva Road has had a few garden ornaments added, much to the delight of local children. I’m keeping my eye out for woodland creatures such as rabbits and hedgehogs. If anyone has a couple they don’t want please drop them off. If they are not suitable for Parva Road I will transfer to the children’s woodland and fairy garden at Hornsea Community Primary School.

It’s a big thank you to Ian Illingworth, Graham Finch, Jo Scaife, Jan Parker, Sharon Jackson, Nadiya Turner, Jacky Stringer and Martyn Eden, plus all those who turn out when a shout goes out for help.

These volunteers all work incredibly hard, turning out in all weathers.

Let’s not forget the Floral Hall team who have also been busy bees making sure Floral Hall gardens are kept looking amazing. Marylyn and Diane never cease to deliver.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue has also

not been forgotten, the little memorial garden has had a HUG from myself and Martyn Eden.

East Riding Council (ERYC) will commence grass cutting in March. To give them a hand, HUG volunteer, Martyn Eden has been out cutting the grass of the smaller areas where it’s difficult for ERYC to use their sit on mowers.

As we move into 2022 HUG’s focus will be on the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the town's street signs.

This includes underplanting as many as possible with red, white and blue summer bedding. We will also be adding bunting which is being made

by HUG Volunteer Julia Beadle.

HUG would love to see more street signs underplanted as it is such a fabulous way to brighten up Hornsea, reduce the need for ERYC to weed

spray and, put a smile on the faces of Hornsea visitors and all who live in the town.

If you haven’t already adopted a street sign, then now is the time to do it. All you need to do is let HUG know which one you want to underplant and a HUG Volunteer will call over to offer advice and support.

Finally, as it gets a bit warmer, HUG Volunteer Jacky Stringer will be getting out her paint brushes and checking on all Hornsea benches, railings, bins and anything else that needs a lick of paint.

HUG has grown considerably as a gardening clean up group since its inception in 2016. Today there is an incredible amount of work being done across Hornsea by this amazing charitable group, a little army of volunteers who love seeing Hornsea

dressed to impress and, of course, this year is extra special… as Hornsea is being polished for the Queen.

In the meantime happy gardening everyone.

Police warning after a number of burglary related car thefts HUMBERSIDE Police have issued the below advice following a number of recent burglaries which have led to the theft of a car from outside the properties.

The burglaries have occurred at houses across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire over the past few weeks.

Detective Sergeant Andy Bradley said: “In recent weeks we have had a number of cars stolen after the keys have been taken in house burglaries.

“In many cases the only thing to have been stolen from inside the property are the car keys, which are then used to steal the cars from outside the premises.

“Many burglaries happen between midnight and 4am when most car and homeowners are sound asleep in bed, but there are steps that you can take to protect your property.

“Keep your car safe and secure ideally in a locked and alarmed

garage. We would also recommend installing good quality CCTV and security lighting to your property as a deterrent to opportunistic burglars.

“Always keep keys out of view of windows and ensure your doors and windows remain closed and locked when not in use.

“If you see anything suspicious at all, anybody looking as though they are ‘scoping’ a property or a vehicle out, or anything out of the ordinary where you live please contact us.

“As always if you have any information about these crimes, call us on our non-emergency 101 line, or 999 if you see a crime in progress, or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Advice about home and car security can be found at www.humberside.police.uk/protectyour-home and www.humberside.police.uk/protectyour-vehicle

Tools with a Mission (TWAM) update THIS YEAR is going to be especially exciting for all TWAM volunteers and staff as plans are put into place to move the Coventry workshops into a very large warehouse on the outskirts of Rugby, right next to the M1 and the M6!

This will enable TWAM to accommodate more volunteers to refurbish more tools and fill at least two extra shipping containers each month: however, that does mean that we need to be collecting more tools, sewing and knitting machines etc!

If now is the time when you are planning to spring clean the shed, garage, loft or cupboards then we will be glad to collect any of the items listed below which, eventually, could enable someone in Africa to earn a living; even a cupboard full of knitting needles and wool or sewing items that you no longer need could be useful.

TWAM works with over 500 African projects including churches, schools, orphanages, vocational training centres and other

development charities. Learning a trade enables people to start a business and gradually support themselves, their families and their communities: TWAM believes in giving people a hand up not just a handout.

Here is a list of some items that we collect but for full information and much more TWAM news visit the website twam.uk Electrical, mechanical & building trade tools & sundries including power drills, screwdrivers, saws Agricultural tools, garden spades & shovels, rakes and hoes [not lawn care items] Motor mowers & motor hedge trimmers Sewing and knitting machines, wool & haberdashery items Desktop & laptop computers running a minimum of Windows 7 [no printers thank you] “Repair-refurbish-reuse – don’t bin, skip or tip it – give it to TWAM!” Contact Brian and Carol on 01964 542124 or email brianandcarold@twam.uk

New year’s swim late-comers raise funds for Hornsea Inshore Rescue DEFYING the incoming rollers on Sunday January 30 were two hardy souls, Carol Johnson and Gary Bennett dressed as Batman and Batwoman. They took a dip in the cold North Sea to raise funds for Hornsea Inshore Rescue. Escorted and closely monitored by Hornsea Inshore Rescue Crew they spent quite some time amongst the breakers and Gary appeared to be enjoying it so much he had to be strongly persuaded by the crew that he had stayed in more than long enough to satisfy his sponsors!

Carol had already done the New Year’s Day Dip but Gary had been very disappointed by having to give it a miss this year due to Covid.

However once fit and well he was determined not to miss out and Carol arranged for the two of them to do it, albeit a little late, supported by the Hornsea Inshore Rescue Crew.

Between the two of them they raised £600 for the independent lifeboat charity.

Carol commented: “Hornsea Inshore Rescue do a fabulous job and risk their own lives to save others. I first did the swim in 2016 and all the family joined in and apart from last

year when it had to be cancelled, I have done everyone since.” When asked how it was in the sea on such a cold day carol said: “It was very invigorating.”

Chair of Hornsea Inshore Rescue and Station Manager, Sue Hickson-Marsay expressed her admiration for the two of them and thanked them: “so much for raising such a magnificent amount to go towards keeping the Hornsea Inshore Rescue Boat afloat.”

Local band is making music in Hornsea HORNSEA Ceilidh Band is a group of local musicians playing traditional dance tunes, including jigs, polkas, reels and waltzes.

The band formed in June 2021 after an appeal for players was made in the Hornsea Community News by fiddle-player Alison Riley, who missed playing in a community ceilidh band after moving to the town in 2016.

Six months in, and the Hornsea group

now has eight regular players who meet once a fortnight for a two-hour practice session playing mainly Scottish, Irish and English music, plus a few Welsh and American tunes.

The band is practising hard for its first ceilidh which is booked for Saturday June 11, 7pm, at the Floral Hall in Hornsea.

Tickets will be on sale soon. The dance will be a fundraising event for Hornsea Inshore Rescue.

If you are interested in joining Hornsea Ceilidh Band you can contact Alison by email: riley777alison@gmail. com. You will need to read music and commit to learning the tunes.

BAND: left to right are: Alison Riley on fiddle, Rosi Robinson on drum, Keith Riley on 4-string guitar, Alison Quigley on cello, Don Cowan on fiddle, Angi Beckett on accordion, Muriel Barrett on recorder, and Paul Schofield on guitar.

Make the difference and volunteer as a Community First Responder YORKSHIRE Ambulance Service (YAS) NHS Trust is calling for new volunteers to become Community First Responders (CFRs) in towns and villages across East Yorkshire.

CFRs attend medical emergencies in their community and provide vital care, comfort and reassurance in the moments before an ambulance arrives. They are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and carry an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and oxygen, as

well as basic first aid equipment. No previous medical experience is required.

Volunteers are wanted for schemes in Hornsea, Market Weighton, Middleton-on-the Wolds, Driffield, Nafferton, Bridlington, and Kingswood in Hull with hopes to create a new scheme in Kilham.

Patricia Kilner, Community Defibrillation Trainer for YAS, said: “CFRs make an extremely valuable contribution to their communities.

We know that in many medical emergencies, such as a heart attack, breathing difficulties or a collapse, the first few minutes are critical. If effective treatment can be given within those first minutes, lives can be saved.

“We have established schemes in Market Weighton, Middleton-on-the Wolds, Driffield, Nafferton, Bridlington, Hornsea, Kingswood (Hull) but would welcome more volunteers so we can provide

additional cover.

“CFRs come from all walks of life and volunteer for a variety of reasons. Many people find it rewarding to help people in need and give something back, while others benefit from learning new skills, meeting new people and becoming more connected with their local community.”

Full training is given to successful applicants who need to be over 18, physically fit and hold a full driving

licence, having never been banned from driving with no more than three penalty points. YAS also runs Disclosure and Barring (DBS) checks on candidates. We ask volunteers to be on-call for an average of seven hours a week, although depending on the size of the scheme, this can be flexible.

If you would like more information, please contact Patricia Kilner by phone 07789 271071 or email p.kilner@nhs.net

Hello from Hornsea and District u3a, the group you should join to learn, laugh and live By Chairman, Jane Hardman The days are certainly growing longer and spring is in the air, even if it is a bit chilly and breezy here on the costa del Hornsea. Spring bulbs are tentatively showing signs of waking up, pushing their green shoots up through the soil, and already there are snowdrops and aconites flowering, adding a dash of colour to otherwise drab gardens.

Since writing in last month’s Community News, Hornsea & District u3a has been quite busy.

At the end of January, we had a social afternoon at the Indoor Bowls Club. We enjoyed a buffet lunch and had music performed for us by Dave and Antoine, two very talented musicians and the sons of Paule Senior, one of our committee members. They are very talented and played us a range of music and played things we requested. We all joined in with gusto, singing along to things like Sweet Caroline and 500 miles. A few brave souls even had a dance. Of course, there was the requisite raffle and I would like to thank Tesco, the Co-op, and the Cinema Club at the Floral Hall for donating prizes, and all the individuals who also gave. A quiz gave us food for thought, so in one afternoon we learned, laughed and lived.

On February 1st we had our monthly meeting at the Floral Hall, and this was well attended. I think the topic drew people in: Victorian Scoundrels. It was led by one of our own members, Professor Rob Allen. Rob has connections with Hornsea but has only recently come back to live here, with his wife Ann. For nearly twenty years he worked at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand and is now Emeritus Professor of Social History there. While there he was Dean the Deputy Vice Chancellor. He has worked in Scotland, Zambia and Nigeria and spent time at the University of Greenwich in London.

Rob has written, researched and lectured on 19th century Britain. His particular interests are William Morris, the designer, poet and socialist, being instrumental in persuading the National Trust to purchase Morris’s Red House in 2003, and also Victorian political agitators. Rob has a blog, for those in the know, called Victorian Footnotes: Remembering the Forgotten.

Our meeting began with us all trying to work out the definition of a scoundrel: the consensus was a loveable rogue. We were challenged to think of any current ones ……… you can probably guess one of the suggestions. Some of the Victorian scoundrels Rob told us about included the pre-Raphaelites led by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a fascinating divorce case between Lord Colin Campbell and his wife, and The Tichborne Claimant, a tale of missing heirs and fortunes at stake. We were thoroughly entertained and learned a thing or two as well. Those Victorians ………..!

The Theatre Group has had a splendid start to the year, already having been to Bridlington Spa for a Viennese Gala, and the New Theatre in Hull to see the ballet Romeo and Juliet.

Coming up this month is a trip to a matinee performance of Mamma Mia at the New Theatre in Hull. On April 1 is an evening performance of the opera Rigoletto and on May 12 a trip to see Lord of the Dance as part of its 25th anniversary tour. It will be directed by Michael Flatley. What were we all doing twenty-five years ago?

The next big meeting of Hornsea & District u3a is on Tuesday, March 1 at 10am for a 10.30am start at the Floral Hall. Our talk this month is entitled Yorkshire Butterflies and Climate Change, given by David Smith. I am sure it will give us food for thought.

If you are retired or no longer working full time, why not come along for a couple of hours and see what the u3a could offer you.

Refreshments are available and details of all our interest groups are there to see- you may find one that you are interested in, and if you have a particular interest you would like to share, we are always eager to have new groups set up. Hope to see you.

The next monthly meeting is on Tuesday, March 1 at 10am for a 10.30am start in the Floral Hall. The speaker is David Smith speaking about Yorkshire butterflies and climate change.

Crochet love hearts raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust KIRSTY Lamming from Hornsea has been busy with her latest crochet fundraising project.

Kirsty first began crocheting little gifts to leave around the town to lift spirits during the pandemic.

Most recently she has made and sold handmade love heart badges in aid of the Teenage Cancer Unit at Castle Hill Hospital. She sold the hearts outside Robinson’s Newsagents in the town over a couple of Saturdays in February. The latest fundraiser comes after raising £312 for the cancer unit at Christmas with the Santa and Rudolph crochet badges. Kirsty is having a short break now while she prepares to raise

money with her crochet crafts for Children in Need in autumn.

Kirsty has also been nominated as a crafting charity champion for her work raising money and lifting spirits through crochet you can vote for Kirsty to win at: https://bit.ly/KirstyLamming 1.

Hornsea Music Society concerts in full swing again

By Sarah Perkins for Hornsea Music Society WHAT a pleasure it was to welcome the New International Chamber Ensemble (NICE) for the opening concert of the Hornsea Music Society season in January.

This time, they came in the guise of a wind quintet, playing a wide range of music from Whiter Shade of Pale to The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, with lots of variety in between. In a first for these concerts, this time there was also poetry from Fiona Skerrow, with very different interpretations of The Owl and the Pussy Cat and My Way. It was an evening of cheerfulness to brighten up January.

February’s concert brought three singers, Sarah Lucy Penny, Sally Fairfax, and Russell Fallon, who braved the snowy weather and winds to come over from Hull for an evening of songs from the shows and a little light jazz.

Representatives of the Hornsea and District Lions were in the audience to hear the piano used

for part of this concert. The piano has recently been extensively renovated using funding generously donated by the Lions.

March brings back two favourite performers, Hana Drábková on oboe and Graziana Presicce on piano. Both of them have played in Hornsea several times before, including appearances with NICE. It will be interesting to hear the piano in such skilled hands.

The concert will be at the United Reformed Church on Saturday, March 19. Tickets are £10 each, and are available from The Townhouse, Newbegin, Hornsea, or from Roberta Loades on 07816 863222. Accompanied children are admitted free.

Rob's ramblings By Rob Andrew WHAT a way to bring a man crashing down to earth. Let me set the scene, Liz and I are wandering, some may say aimlessly around the shopping area in York, when I decide to pay yet another visit to my favourite spot to buy a jumper. Greeted as always by a front of house 'colleague' I'm advised that there is currently a sale of up to 50% off, plus another 10%, “superb” I think. Venturing a little further into the establishment to be followed by a lady who appeared to be a middle aged experienced new starter. I soon came to realise she turned out to be, how can we say, perhaps not trained as well as she might be in the delicacies of customer service. Steering me away from my search through the clothing marked L or XL to be informed that perhaps I would be more successful flicking through the XXXL section! Had she cared to look a little more closely she could have spotted that I was wearing one of that very company’s piece of attire with a label L. Now realising I'm definitely not a S or indeed a XS, and yes I am what many would call big boned, but possibly try to avoid a delicate ego taking an extra bashing and ensuring that my £50 ends up in their till instead of snuggling back nicely into my wallet. It was saved for the much more exciting thought of several glasses of gin in the

nearby, somewhat more appealing surroundings of York's very own 'Ivy' restaurant.

Now carrying on with the theme of clothing, how can it be that I fit very nicely or maybe with a bit of a squeeze into a pair of 34'' waist jeans of probably the most well known brand across in the world, yet go just across the road to find that very similar pair of jeans needs a label that reads a good six inches more is needed around my delicate 'tiny' tummy! It also leaves an unsightly scrunch of cloth just below waist level, if you get my drift. I suppose that it's possible that the first retail outlet may have started out to appeal to their own countrymen and found quite cleverly that it can be better to have people believe that our home tape measures are in fact designed to be flexible, not only to gold prospectors in the past but today's more savvy Europeans.

Maybe when one is approaching our mid 50's we shouldn't be trying on such things and simply stick to suits as our Dad's and Grandad's used to find most comfortable.

And finally, what is this (pictured) all about? A label on a shirt spotted whilst on my jaunt around town. Either it’s an XXXL or it’s slimfit, surely can't be both.

Or am I again missing something?

Drrrrrr!!

A Winters Treat

By Kev Naylor Waking up one morning My face feels really cold Huddled between my blankets As winter’s taken hold Yawning from my slumber The cold reveals my breath Exhaling misty plumes As I emerge from my beds depths Plucking up the courage I dance on my tiptoes Just trying to say warm Scraping ice from my frozen windows Peering at the scene before me Now a snow covered land A changed vista of monochrome Winters totally in command Dressed in winter woollies My breakfast soon ingested Come on Sis get ready My patience you are testing We head to the garden Now deep in fresh layered snow Leaving a trail of footsteps Both marching to and fro Making rock hard snowballs My sister lets one fly Hitting me square in the face She nearly made me cry So we decided to make a snowman The body and head we role His nose a big orange carrot And eyes two lumps of coal With gloves now frozen solid My clothes are soaking wet I cannot feel my feet But I don’t want to go home yet Mum calls us in for dinner As we can hardly speak Our teeth are chattering together It’s been a winter treat

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER 2022 CHRISTIAN'S Together would like to invite you to take part in the World Day of Prayer to be held in Hornsea on March 4 at the Sacred Heart Church on Southgate at 2pm Millions of people are joining a wave of prayer around the whole world.

1. The theme of this year’s World Day of Prayer (WDP) is a theme of hope prepared by the WDP Team in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. ‘I Know the Plans I Have For You’ Jeremiah 29:1-14 2022 is a special year for the World Day of Prayer in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EWNI). As these ‘home nations’ have prepared the service. The program is based

Poems

on the letter that the prophet Jeremiah wrote to the exiles in Babylonia. The exiles were in a context of suffering, uncertainty, and opposing views on how to respond to the moment. In the midst of all the uncertainties we are living under due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WDP 2022 theme is a balm of confidence. It is an invitation to place our trust in God in times of suffering.

World Day of Prayer is an international ecumenical organisation which enables women all over the world to share the ideas and concerns of the writing country. The EWNI WDP National Committee includes 18 different Christian denominations.

On Friday, March 4 services will take place around the whole world, beginning in Samoa and moving on through New Zealand and Australia, across Asia, Africa and Europe and finally the United States and South America before finishing in American Samoa.

Across England, Wales and Northern Ireland services will take place in large urban centres, such as Central Hall Westminster, and in remote village churches.

Through the service worshippers will hear the stories of women who feel excluded, listen to the fear of a child refugee and learn to see the context of a multi-ethnic, multicultural, and multi-faith society in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Plastic Free Hornsea Group and friends update by Beachcomber WE ARE off to a cracking start this financial year with the good news that, once again, Longbeach Leisure Park and The Barn Restaurant have come forward to sponsor us and cover the costs incurred in renting our Eco Hub seafront base.

Longbeach is a long established and well loved business in our community and we are very grateful for both their interest in the environment and their continued support in assisting with our work. Look for their flags flying outside the Eco Hub on a Sunday and you will easily find us!

Last month we reported that one of our group members had been invited to join a new resident of Roos, who had been inspired by a visit to our Eco Hub, on a litter pick in that village. The success of the venture prompted the resident to start their own group and now the newly-formed Roos Rubbish Rescuers meet

regularly. Their parish council readily supported them providing all their equipment and arranging for the collection of all the rubbish. At the time of writing, this nascent group had removed 21 full bags of ‘grot’ from in and around the village! This is a ‘good news’ story that shows what improvements can be made when friendly and like minded people come together and make things happen. Roos rocks!

• Wood should ideally be 15mm thick for warmth although 9mm ply is fine and easier to cut.

• Use galvanised nails or screws as they last longer.

• Small drainage holes in the base are essential to let liquid waste drain away, or in open front boxes to let any rainwater drain away.

you really get the bug for this, remember that house sparrows like to live in colonies, so you can group several boxes together when you have chosen your suitable site. Happy building, and don’t forget to send photos of your completed boxes to this newspaper!

Beach Cleans The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (one of our partners in the Yorkshire Coast Marine Litter Coalition) has a programme of beach cleans down our coastline in 2022 called ‘Waves of Waste’.

Full details can be found on their website at: ywt.org.uk Enter ‘beach cleans’ in the search box.

One of our group members spent half a morning trying to dig out a quantity of trawler net that had washed up on the beach and become embedded. These materials, if left, are harmful to

marine life and to the marine environment in general. The mission was unsuccessful, but thanks go to the two gentlemen who came to help. Those who help with this vital work are always welcome.

CLiPS - Community and Litter Picking Services Following the vandalism that resulted in the complete destruction of the much loved ‘Creature Stone’ beside the Viaduct bridge, we are pleased to report that the work creating a replacement is well under way so that young children can once again enjoy this little corner.

Thanks go to Radio Humberside for highlighting this anti-social behaviour.

In a departure from our normal areas, we spent almost five hours clearing roadside rubbish from a section of a road near Leven. Six large sacks of rubbish

weighing over 21kg plus a couple of larger fly-tipped items were removed. ERYC have expressed their thanks to us. We are always happy to help and support.

Spring is just around the corner…..

Work on the Hornsea Rail Trail won’t begin until towards the end of March when, hopefully, it will be warm enough for all the little creatures to have emerged from the safety of their overwintering hidey-holes. After that, we will start to tidy the border edges and cut back dead matter and prune as needed. Thank you to all those regular Trail users who are our eyes and ears and alert us to anything untoward. It is much appreciated, as is the help from ERYC in keeping this area as natural as possible.

Keeping the work of the Elwell’s alive

By Wendy Loncaster HAVING lived through many an air-raid on Cliff Road, along with my favourite teddies, in the days of sirens, ration-books and blackouts, I appoint myself now as a full-blown resident of Hornsea.

I remember well the surreal situation under the air-raid shelter, otherwise known as the dining-room table, where three generations of our family were cushioned, often in the middle of the night. Many are the stories read to me there. No wonder I have always been a dreamer.

Jumping forty years onwards, and still living in Hornsea, I embarked on an arts degree with the Open University, primarily to read art history. This experience changed my life. I loved every minute of it - the gaining of skills, the student atmosphere.

Afterwards, I longed to put into practice this strange new confidence and exciting awareness of a world of art. One of the OU tutors advised me of a job to do in respect of the Beverley artist, Fred Elwell.

Thus the Elwell project was alive and well and, by 1993, I had researched and written an early book, as well as mounting the exhibition, “A life in Art”, at the Ferens Art Gallery, in an atmosphere of much enthusiasm.

Then the idea arose from that first project: the need to turn my attention to Mary Elwell, Fred`s artist wife. So there arose from

my pen, not before time, a second book. “Mary D. Elwell, SWA – Stepping from the Shadows” appeared in 2001, together with an exhibition at Beverley Art Gallery. Many were the Hornsea friends who attended the launch of both exhibition and book.

By 2008 Malcolm Shields and I together wrote “Walter Goodin – Above All, the Sky”.

Interestingly, Walter made a study of these very special East Riding skies throughout his long painting life. Looking at his landscapes now is particularly meaningful. The book which contains them, and much more, is available from the Townhouse on Newbegin today.

So is the fourth book, “Fred Elwell, RA – A Life in Art”, the big glossy hardback that Malcolm and I completed in 2014, with the aim of bringing our study of Fred Elwell up-to-date, in a volume of space. Illustrations here are of much closer similarity with the original paintings, of which many, by the way, are by Mary, for thoughtful comparison.

We also cover James Elwell, Fred`s father, who carved the organ screen at Beverley Minster, and was yet another character of fame.

As for my being a dreamer still, watch out for my excursions into poetry in this very newspaper.

Using sewing skills to raise money for charity

By Stuart Kemp MICHELLE Maltby was keen to put her skills with a sewing machine to good use in the pandemic and became one of the many contributors to the local Love of Scrubs group. This involved sewing masks, scrub bags and headbands.

Michelle continued to make the face masks to raise money for organisations including The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, The RSPCA, Dove House Hospice and Oakwood Dog Rescue.

More recently she has been raising money for Hull Women’s Aid by selling sewn bags and handmade Christmas cards under her creative name ‘Miche & Mabel’.

Michelle has handed over a £500 donation to the charity from the sales.

Michelle has been helped with this by Hayley from The Painters Daughter who has donated unused material from making her cushions to Michelle to be repurposed and raise money for charity.

Hull Women’s Aid (HWA) is the sole provider of safe and secure refuge

accommodation on the north bank of the Humber for women and children fleeing domestic abuse.

HWA supports women and children who are experiencing/fleeing domestic violence/abuse, by providing temporary accommodation, telephone and direct advice and individual support to any woman who requests it. They also provide a Floating Support Service which offers a tenancy support

service to vulnerable women and children, who have experienced domestic abuse to improve their ability to live independently and free from abuse in their own tenancies.

Michelle is planning to have a stall at the next Hornsea Parish Hall craft fair on April 2. She can also be contacted by email: MichelleMaltby50@gmail. com or by calling 07880 717417.

Alberta Canada – Part 5 An RAF Ghost Story

by David Everard.

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

Although the story is fictitious a large percentage is based on fact including the area, dates and times of where the aircraft and crew were stationed. The destination of their mission, the crash site, statistics of the raid on Leipzig are also true and can be seen and verified at The Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington near York. Names, nationalities and aircraft numbers have been changed to protect those who feel they may need it.

CHAPTER TWO – WHERE WAS MY NOTE? (part 5) They had stood in absolute despair and watched the whole terrible ordeal of the clear up operation.

There were ground crews and friends, some in tears as they worked. Then one day no one came.

They waited and waited but no one came. All they were left with was a lonely barren field and a devastating despair of loneliness as days and nights, months, and years went by…

They really believed they had been forgotten, and would stay there forever. The questions they had asked themselves: Why couldn't they go home? Why had God abandoned them? Why? Why? Why? How they had kept their sanity over all these years, God only knows, I thought. The only glimmer of hope they'd ever had, was when a little girl came alone on to the field. They had been watching her skipping along the track, then she had stopped - she must have seen the memorial stone that had been trampled into the ground and she had knelt down to take a look at it.

Somehow they could feel her sadness as she cleaned off the dirt that had gathered over the stone.

She then raised her head and looked straight at them and smiled.

They were so sure she had seen them that they ran to her and pleaded for her not to be frightened, as they had only needed her help.

But she had just turned and walked away back towards the gate.

"Maybe she only sensed we were there. We don't know”. said Pilot Officer Chuck Gennings. "She came back sometime later with a man. We guessed it must have been her father. He dug out the memorial stone from the track and re-sited it at the gate. We knew we had been forgotten until that little girl came into the field. Maybe if she hadn't felt as she did, and not had the memorial moved, we may not have

been having this conversation now”.

"So you're telling me it has been moved." I said knowing exactly where from. "It was here wasn't it.

This is the exact spot where the plane crashed. Isn't it? Here, right where we are standing, where I felt I was burning?” Yeah, we’re very sorry for that. But we had to make you understand said Gennings "Well you certainly did that," I replied as I studied my hands once more. “But if you want me to find this man Fitz, I need to know all about him, where he came from. Did he have other friends around here? Who was the little girl? You have got to give me some kind of starting point.

Remember this happened nearly sixty years ago, it's a long time.”

They tried to give me a good description of Fitz then told me that he was from Vancouver and had a long-term fiancée from Hull, whom he was going to marry after the war.

Her name was Jean. Really the girl from Hull was my only real hope. If I could trace her, I had a chance of finding him, if either of them were still alive that was. The problem was they didn't know her last name -Fitz had been quite secretive about her.

Only Ceymour had met her briefly at the Hull City Hall Christmas dance in 1943. "She was a real doll," Ceymour acclaimed. "No doubt, with long dark hair, a real doll, but Fitz was a bit possessive. He shuffled her away when I asked her to dance. I guess I did have a bit of a reputation with the girls and Fitz knew it”. He raised his eyebrow and smiled. Gaffer stepped over and ruffled Ceymour's hair and said, "None of us ever noticed Big Ears." we laughed at his jovial comment and Ceymour' s pet name, Big Ears.

I guessed it was something to do with being the wireless operator. I was very pleased to see a little light heartedness as it helped to break this terrible story and it broke the ice for me. For a few moments, I forgot they were ghosts. I hadn't realised how long we had been talking. Darkness had really set in. I looked at my watch and couldn't believe I'd been there over four hours. Gennings smiled, I noticed that strain in their eyes had melted a little, and that was good to see.

"Yes, you must go," he said, "it's late for you mortals." I agreed. But their faces soon turned serious again and left me with no doubt about what I needed to do. We walked back to the gate, and I promised them I would do whatever it took to find Fitz, and left them at the stile. As I drove away along the snow covered lane, I had a thousand ideas on how I could find Fitz, but couldn't quite understand why I was the one who had been chosen to help. There must have been plenty of other people who had crossed that field. Why hadn't the little girl seen them? Why was it me? I couldn't think of that now and turned my thoughts to contacting the local Radio Station in the morning. They would probably be able to help me by asking on the air if anyone could remember a Flight Sergeant Peter Fitzpatrick. If nothing else his girlfriend might be known or remembered by someone. For some reason it sounded too easy.

Hornsea Photography Club

By Glenn Malkin THE FEBRUARY meeting of the Hornsea Photography Club returned to our usual home of Hornsea Golf Club. This month we were looking at different software packages for processing images. Although we had limited numbers attending, the discussion was interesting and useful to many of us. Carl commenced by demonstrating Photoshop and referenced Lightroom software. Focusing initially on how to adjust lighting and exposure using sample images, we then went on to making photographs more dramatic using other features of the software.

There was a good discussion and demonstration on photo-merging where multiple copies of the same image are combined to bring out greater detail. We also looked at adjusting clarity, creating a high dynamic range, using a high pass filter and selective colour adjustment. Of course, these sorts of features are not something we would all necessarily use on a regular basis, particularly the beginners amongst us, but it was fascinating to see the effect of them and show the possibilities the software could offer.

Gerry then demonstrated his preferred software, Capture One. Many of the features were of course similar to what we had already seen in Photoshop though perhaps accessed and utilised in slightly different ways.

We looked at how areas of the photograph could be selected based on their luminance or their colour and then these areas could be adjusted without affecting the rest of the photograph. Gerry showed us the impact these features could have by using some of his own images and the benefits were clear.

During the discussions, we touched on other software packages including Affinity which is used by some of the members. The message was clear - the opportunities to take a good photograph and make it great by tweaking it with software depends on your understanding of that software. Including spending some time to bring the best out of the image and having an eye for the potential your image has within it. Other than cropping to select the best composition, this is not about fundamentally changing the photograph you have taken. You aren’t adding anything to the image, you are merely enhancing what is already there, pulling out detail and contrast and colour in order to create a more dramatic, effective result. The software is simply a tool to enable you to do that. No amount of software manipulation can turn a poor photograph into a good one. There is no substitute for having a good eye, knowing your camera and being in the right place at the right time!

The dog photographs are an example of how an extremely under-exposed (dark) image can be 'rescued' by image processing software.

Our next meeting on Thursday, March 3 will begin at 7.30pm and it will be our Annual General Meeting followed by a social discussion about the topics for our programme during the coming months. This is also the start of our membership year when we look to volunteers to help organise how the club runs and our official Officers. We will hear reports of our progress during 2021 and plan to join events and activities in and around Hornsea. New members are always very welcome to our club meetings, irrespective of experience or the type of photography you are interested in. Our club Facebook page (www.facebook.com/groups/HornseaPhotography ) gives information about our future monthly meetings, member's images and other photo-related discussions.

We are a very social club not taking ourselves too seriously and simply enjoy exploring together how we might take better photos! We hope to see you there soon.

Coasting Along OUR ‘NON-STICK’ PM continues to survive despite a further series of distasteful disclosures and questionable activities since the last ‘Coasting Along.’ The ‘Pork Pie Plotters’ forgot to apply the Branston Pickle and so BJ lives on to fight another day.

Whatever your opinion of him there is something to admire in his starring role for the 2022 Classic film ‘Carry on Regardless.’

Not so for his Police Commissioner in charge of The Metropolitan Police, who, to quote a well-known phrase, ‘fell on her sword’ and resigned following a catalogue of supposed errors of judgement leading to a poor set of headlines of her handling of several vital investigations and a subsequent ‘loss of confidence’ in her by The Mayor of London.

I must say that I was a bit surprised when in a TV interview at the time she was first appointed into her new role she was asked what her priorities were, I was expecting an answer along the

lines of tackling knife crime, safeguarding the public from terrorist threats, reducing burglary etc. but what we got as the ‘priority’ was ‘Diversity.’ I do not know if she was successful in achieving this priority but she was reportedly popular among the ‘rank and file’ so she must have done so but the title of Police Commissioner suggests that Policing is what is being demanded. I suppose it is one of those jobs that attracts a lot of public scrutiny and to some degree can be a ‘no win’ role but excuses often sound hollow, and politics is a constant unwanted companion with a voracious appetite.

Still, I guess a generous final pay cheque will help soften the blow from any hurt feelings.

Before leaving the subject of ‘Diversity’ I am reminded of the proliferation of ‘Diversion Signs’ that have recently adorned the town’s roads and junctions. Does anyone have a clue as to why they are there and what it is motorists are being diverted from and

to? Could it be that Diversion signs have somehow been ‘hard wired’ to reproduce themselves as an act of nature and then to take over junctions and roadways in preparation for some future attack on the whole transport system, or perhaps the aim is to lure some poor unsuspecting motorists into an abyss where lost vehicles are transported into an unknown world in preparation for some kind of evil takeover.

It could be a mysterious way of assembling an unsuspecting cast of extras for a futuristic horror film. One of these diversion signs was/is positioned in the village of Seaton and is handily placed to block the footpath and protrude into the road so as to cause maximum disruption but if the diversion it indicates is followed it would seem to have no purpose other than to add to all the other pointless diversions but in this case take you away from the main road down the side of of the Swan Inn into open countryside with narrow roads

and a land largely unexplored since William the Conqueror laid waste to the north of England in a fit of pique.

Ignoring this diversion sign and continuing the road to Beverley leads to the grandly named ‘Hornsea Garden Centre.’ Judging by the usually very full car park it is obviously a popular location for visitors however on one of my own visits there I did notice a glaring error in pricing when a couple of items had the ’99 pence’ addition missing. Is there anywhere in the commercial world of buying and selling that ‘99’ does not appear? Those who fix the price of fuel at the petrol pumps have mastered the art of masking the ’99 pence’ to have it unnoticed. I am reliably informed by those petrol cashiers of my acquaintance that not a single motorist in the whole history of fuel pricing has ever had to pay the 0.99 pence. By some quirk it always rounds up to the next fullpenny. Surprising I know.

At the time of writing the Winter Olympics are in full

swing, but Team GB had yet to make its mark. I am not surprised at this as the games are obviously rigged against us. There would be abundant medals coming our way if ‘Snowball fighting’ and snowman (sorry, and snowwomen) building was included in the categories of events. I fail to see why these exercises in Winter Olympics cannot be included. We already have some dubious events. For example, what have rifle shooting skills got to do with skiing down a mountain and since when has frantically wiping the floor with a funny looking mop in a centrally heated indoor venue been a test of endurance?

On other matters I did have to check my diary to ascertain that the 1st of April had not yet arrived which would have explained why the notion of constructing a ‘Second Humber Bridge’ was being seriously considered. It seemed fanciful at first but after more consideration the advantages became more apparent. I can exclusively reveal that the second bridge

would be just like the current one and conclusive proof that the government’s ‘levelling-up policy’ was being seriously adhered to. I mean if Scotland can have three bridges across the Firth of Forth why should we not have two across the Humber?

Future projects would no doubt depend on the situation in Europe not leading to war.

One wonders as to why the question has not been asked of the Russian President as to why 100,000 Russian troops have been deployed to the Ukrainian border if invasion is not on the agenda?

Hopefully we can look forward with confidence to the future although the signs are depressing. I mean the days are getting longer, the sun is higher in the sky, snowdrops are in evidence on the road at Westgate and the grass on lawns is getting longer. It will inevitably lead to those disasters of an increase in raucous music, smelly bar-bcues, noisy motor mowers and smoky garden fires. I am almost on the point of wanting more fresh air.

Eat like a wolf by Karen Whitchurch A RECENT large-scale study* has concluded that dogs fed once a day age better, suffer fewer liver, urinary and gastrointestinal issues, and display superior cognitive function. Such a feeding pattern mimics that of wolves, suggesting that so-called ‘intermittent fasting’ may, for canines, be natural and healthy.

The jury’s still out on that one, but the reasoning is sound.

In the beginning, wolves and wild dogs lived on their wits, surviving by speed, strength and pack-power. The canine-human partnership brought mutual benefits: the combined hunt, and the shared kill. Through lean times and fair, everyone ate, or starved. Down the centuries, the union endured, until the majority of dogs in developed countries morphed into pets, their former roles redundant, and becoming dependent on Man for their dinners.

What do you feed your dog?

Fifty years ago, there was no debate. Offal, butcher’s freebies, leftovers, or bog-standard Chum.

If they were very lucky, they got bones, or sometimes charcoal biscuits (which, whisper it, I loved as a child!) But in recent times, the whole subject has become increasingly complicated.

Nutritional theories abound: should a dog’s diet consist of raw meat, cooked meat, vegetables,

carbs, kibble or dried food? If the latter, should it be grain-free, high protein, low protein, low-calorie, hypoallergenic, vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian? From simple beginnings has evolved the multimillion pound industry that is Fine Doggy Dining.

Dogs are primarily, but not exclusively, carnivorous, equipped with jaws and teeth designed for tearing flesh and crunching bone.

But every successful species must adapt or die, so Man’s best friend is up for eating pretty much anything on offer (rather your dinner than his!) Like us, they relish tantalising smells and new, interesting flavours. Dog people always carry a pocketful of treats, for our companions and to share with incoming muggers. Cheeseballs, smallbite, sausages, liver-cake, biscuits, bits of raw carrot, apple slices…nothing wrong with any of those. My dogs adore custard, yoghurt, toast and suitable leftovers, all fine. What they don’t get is salty, fatty processed rubbish that will cost them healthy teeth and confer dodgy tummies or scurfy coats.

However, the whole canine nutrition thing has gone a bit bonkers. Supermarket pet-food aisles boast a bewildering selection of treats. Recentlyencountered offerings include: avocado sticks, mango and pumpkin nibbles, yak-milk chews,

savoury lentil and sweetcorn bites and sushi rolls. Next up, crayfish crunchies or possibly foxscat snacks….is your tummy rumbling yet?

How much would you pay for your pet’s nibbles/snacks/treats? For many owners, the answer is: a small fortune. I give you: ‘California rolls’ (£50 for six smoked buffalo tails) ‘derived from premium quality 100% grass-fed buffalo.’

Or how about liver treats (£9.17 per 100g) ‘perfect as training aids or for positive reinforcement.’ Cod-skin fingers (£4.85 per 100g) ‘ideal for overweight dogs or those with allergies.’ Not forgetting ‘finest British gourmet sausages for discerning dogs’ (£27.00 for 500g.) Just to lure you in, here are some actual mouth-watering descriptions of foods you never knew your dog needed: ‘Lovingly hand-made from the finest locally-sourced ingredients.’ (Save the planet.)

‘Hand-crafted from 100% stonebaked organic vegetables.’

(Expensive.)

‘Contains sustainably-sourced Canadian salmon flakes and wild mountain garlic.’ (Ridiculously expensive.)

‘With succulent strips of kelp, quinoa and added chickpeas.’

(Just…why?)

Had enough yet? Me too. And

guess what? YOUR DOG DOESN’T CARE! The Kennel Club has come right out and said so. At the risk of upsetting the creative chefs, it’s all Emperor’s New Clothes! It’s gone too far. Dogs do not need artisan treats! Yes, they need good, simple, varied nutritious food, fresh water, and stuff to crunch on. What they don’t need is added vitamins, minerals, preservatives, saturated fats, colourings, artificial flavourings or ‘lovinglycreated’ anything by anyone but you! Feed them the expensive

stuff, they’ll love it. Dish up good, plain, tasty ordinary fare and they’ll love that too. Let’s not lose sight of where they came from or who they still are. The dog is just a sidestep from the wolf. *Study paper published on the BioRxiv website.

Donation from REPETITIVE STRESS (MOTION) INJURIES

By Graham Janes Hornsea Lions funds new junior rugby strips HORNSEA District Lions Club have given a donation to the Hornsea and Holderness Junior Rugby Club to purchase ‘Team Strips’ for six of their teams (under 7s, 8s and 12s).

The Development Coach Matt Havler commented that the club was very grateful for the donation: "It makes a big difference to the attitude of the players when they are able to wear the strip with pride as part of a team.

Lions Vice President Joan Gales added while at the presentation: "we are always pleased to step in and help out clubs such as this. It is wonderful to see so many youngsters out here enjoying the fresh air and gaining a lot of life skills in the process”.

THANK YOU: Lions Vice President Joan Gales and past president Mel Watson with some of the members of the team

Hornsea Lady’s Hockey Club reveal new team strip thanks to local business sponsorship HORNSEA Ladies Hockey Club have revealed their new purple strip with new main team sponsor Trains Hair and Beauty on them. Emma-Jayne Saunt from Trains Hair and Beauty commented: “I am delighted we have been able to sponsor Hornsea Ladies Hockey Club for the foreseeable future. I hope Hornsea ladies will take up hockey with the club who play at a good standard and promote the town even further. I am pleased that at Trains Hair and Beauty we are able to play our part in promoting local sport.”

The club decided after the hard two years for everyone that it was too much to ask one business to give them £1000 to help pay for the new kit. Instead they did a sponsorship raffle, with tickets being £20 each and companies could purchase as many tickets as they liked.

Vice Captain Amie Atkins commented: “We were supported by over 20 businesses in and around Hornsea, raising over £900.”

The winning entry was Trains Hair and Beauty who are now the clubs main sponsor.

Hornsea Foundation have also made a £200 donation to the club and have their name and logo on the club strip

sleeve.

The Club who have been going for over 70 years, currently play in Yorkshire North East Women’s Division 1 Wolds. Their home matches take place at Hull University on the astro turf pitch alongside several other teams who play from the ground. The Hornsea team made their home at the University when hockey matches could no longer be played on grass. All hockey matches must be played on astro turf and this was beyond the club’s finances. The Hornsea 3G pitch while being perfect for football it is not suitable for hockey.

The club remains very Hornsea focussed with Captain Lorraine Wood being from the town and Vice Captain Amie Atkins from Leven. They train at Hull University’s ground on a

Wednesday evening from 7pm to 8pm and welcome anyone interested in joining them to come along to training. There are also coaching and umpiring courses available to those interested. For more information you can contact the club through their Facebook page: Hornsea Hockey Club or by calling Lorraine on 07970 538393 or e-mail HornseaHC@yorkshireha.co.uk 1.

WHAT ARE THEY? Repetitive Stress or Motion Injuries (RSI’s) are very common in the UK and are made worse by our actions in daily life, at work or through exercise approximately 50% of all athletic-related injuries are caused by RSI’s. The most common types of RSI’s are Tendinitis and Bursitis which are sometimes difficult to tell apart and may even coexist.

TENDINITIS Our tendons are white fibrous tissues that connect the muscle to our bones allowing the joints in our body to move. They are very strong as they must be able to bear the weight of their muscle. ● Tendinitis is the inflammation of the tendon (itis = inflammation) ● Most common places for tendinitis to occur are: o Shoulder o Biceps o Elbow ● Men are more likely to suffer this condition ● Inflammation usually happens at the point where the tendon inserts onto the bone ● Our tendons run through a lubrication sheath which can also become inflamed, this is called Tenosynovitis. It can appear almost identical to Tendinitis as they both have the same causes, symptoms and treatment BURSITIS A Bursa is a small fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion and is found over the area where friction may develop or between our bones and tendons ● Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa sac ● We have over 150 bursae in the body - most are present from birth but they can develop in sites of repetitive pressure ● Common areas for bursitis are: o Elbow o Hip o Knee ● The different types of Bursitis are Traumatic, Infectious and Gouty. It is Traumatic that are associated with RSI’s and are particularly common in those 35 years and younger

Bursitis – you will more than likely feel pain and tenderness over the affected area and will suffer a decreased range of motion. Other common symptoms include redness, swelling and a possible crunching feeling (crepitus) when you move the joint.

HOW DO I TREAT IT? Home care includes using the RICE protocol – REST, ICE, COMPRESSION and ELEVATION for the first 72 hours. When using ice, ensure you wrap it in a thin towel and use 2-3 times a day for approximately 20-30 minutes at a time.

Please note that if the injury is to the shoulder, do not keep it immobile for longer than 24 hours as this may cause further loss to your range of motion or allow Adhesive Capsulitis (also known as Frozen Shoulder) to start.

You should seek a higher intervention to get treatment when you: ● get pain when moving your arms or legs ● have tenderness over the joint where the tendon connects ● experience redness or increased warmth over the injured area ● start to get woken from your sleep by the pain ● are unable to sleep on the affected side ● are unable to carry out your normal activities – taking a shower, walking, brushing your teeth etc There are certain signs and symptoms that may mean you should seek medical advice either from your GP or from the hospital, these are: ● joint pain that is accompanied by a fever, chills, nausea and/or vomiting ● more than one of your joints is painful or if the pain travels from one joint to another ● severe joint pain ● you have a history of high-risk behaviour

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES? RSI’s happen due to microscopic tears in our tissue. If the body is not able to repair these faster than what we make them, inflammation will occur which then leads to pain.

The main causes are: ● Repetitive activities ● Trauma ● Crystal deposits (as found with Gout) ● Friction ● Systemic disease (such as gout and rheumatoid arthritis)

PREVENTION ● Make sure you do proper and adequate warmups and cool-downs which are crucial to soft tissue health ● Try to avoid the activities that are making your injury flare up in the first place ● If that is not possible, try and find another or better way to complete the task. If it is happening at work then try to speak to occupational health ● Do range of motion exercises

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Tendinitis – the most common symptom is pain over the injured area with possible redness of the skin and warm to the touch.

With the proper care and exercises, Tendinitis and Bursitis have a very good prognosis and the majority of cases heal well.

Feel free to call or email the clinic where me and Eleanor will be more than happy to discuss this or any other problems.

Hornsea District Walking Club - Walks report Compiled by Arnold Underwood with contributions from David Holtby and Sylvia Caygill 25 YEARS and STILL WALKING! The Hornsea District Walking Club has recently held its 25th Annual General Meeting, the first being in November 1996. On Saturday 26th Feb, Walking Club Members, Past and Present will attend an Anniversary Buffet at the New Inn, Leven to celebrate 25 Years of Hornsea District Walking Club.

Expect a full report in the next HCN issue.

Club Walks There have been only two Club walks to report on since the previous issue.

On Sunday, January 23 there was another very good turnout of 19 for the walk from Goodmanham led by Joyce Davidson. The route comprised a series of loops on and off the Yorkshire Wolds Way by way of Londesborough. After passing the historic All Hallows Church in Goodmanham the walkers headed along the Wolds way to cross the A614 then down through Londesborough Park. A coffee break was taken in Londesborough village near the Church. The group then continued up the road over Londesborough Hill as far as the top of Cleaving Coombe which is designated as Access Land. The walkers kept to the north side of the dale to avoid the wet and muddy area at the bottom to reach a track out onto the lower road.

They returned along this road to Londesborough. Unfortunately it was a few weeks too early in the year for the display of snowdrops in the grounds of the old hall. After lunch they headed back across Londesborough Park to Goodmanham where many of the party visited the Fiddle Drill Tearoom for tea and cake to conclude a good day on the Wolds.

On Sunday, February 6 the programme showed a short walk of about seven miles from North Dalton led by Sue Copeland.

However posts on Facebook from some participants suggested that the mileage came to more than 9, so there had been a deviation from the proposed route at some point!

From North Dalton the twelve walkers headed west along the Minster Way before turning north to meet the Haywold Bridle Road. On the edge of woodland the group was caught in a blizzard of sleet and hail! Undeterred the walkers pressed on to arrive back into North Dalton none the worse for the experience!

Other walks by Club Members: Sunday, January 30 turned out to be a glorious day compared to some miserable weekend weather before and since, and typically there was no scheduled Club walk!

Arnold and Caroline took this opportunity to make a first visit to the North York Moors this year, in fact their first since last September. Meeting up on the outskirts of Goathland the pair (the 'Sunday two') set off along the lane past Partridge Hill and Birchwoods with extensive views west over Goathland. At the lane end they turned along the road passing under the NYMR and up past Moorgates. A couple of hundred yards up the road a signpost indicated a path across bleak moorland towards Two Howes Rigg.

This was a long gradual climb through heather and bog on a faint path, rewarded with panoramic views north and east towards Goathland and Fylingdales. At the top of the ridge the path converged with one coming up directly from Goathland. This would be their return, gradually downhill to reach The Tarn, a hidden lake in a hollow in the moorland. Here they took a lunch break overlooking the water.

Continuing after lunch, with views now west and north, the pair dropped down to the road near the Mallyan Spout Hotel - which appeared to be closed for refurbishment. Having hardly seen anyone since setting out on their walk, Goathland village was now quite busy, the fine weather having brought out the visitors. Goathland still rides on its popularity from 'starring' as Aidensfield in the Heartbeat TV Series with references to Scripps' Aidensfield Garage & Funeral Director, the Aidensfield Stores, Post Office, and Hotel! By comparison Goathland NYMR station was quiet with no trains running due to winter maintenance involving bridge replacements taking place. After crossing the railway by the rebuilt road bridge the 'Sunday two' faced the steepest climb of the day up Cow Wath Bank back to where their cars were parked to complete an adventurous and enjoyable walk, albeit only about six miles in length.

Also on January 30, David, Margaret, Sue and Dave (the 'Sunday four') were on the North York Moors in Dalby Forest. David reported that they started their nine mile walk at Dargate Dike in Dalby Forest and planned to make their way through the forest towards the weathered rock outcrops called the Bridestones. Eventually, after a coffee stop in the forest, they emerged from the trees and climbed onto open moorland to arrive at the Bridestones. From there they dropped back down to take a lunch break beside the lake in Stain Dale. Finally they headed back through the forest to complete a good walk for the 'Sunday four' with sunshine all day, although it was a bit chilly in the shade of the forest.

ON THE BANK – East Yorkshire coast prepares to TANSTERNE FISHERY welcome back fishing competition

By Ron Bulless HERE we are slap bang in the middle of winter and we begin to sort the men from the boys – it does not surprise me after running a fishery for 18 / 19 years to see each winter 20 plus anglers enter into winter leagues and when they begin in October, they are all excited at the prospect of fishing the winter leagues. As we enter into January and temperatures of sub zero happen, those not used to these conditions fall by the wayside and we lose 2 or 3 from each league and the regular hardy anglers plus 1 or 2 newbies see it through to the end.

Match 7 took place on the 16th January and this takes us past half-way with 6 more to fish – we start to see those in contention and the effect of dropped scores gives us a true picture of the likely outcome.

Before I report on the results and scores, I thought I would revisit methods for the time of year and conditions – as I have said before the bigger baits no longer work and the skill set of the angler comes into play.

We, like a number of fisheries, do not allow bread floating or sinking as it attracts the wrong type of angler to the pond and on the surface the wind carries to one end of the pond and you get anglers moving from peg to peg following the bread and disrupting other angler’s swims.

What we do allow is dobbin and this is the use of bread by method of a bread punch which creates a small hook bait of 4m to 10 m and the best way of fishing this is 4-6” off the bottom with no free feed. The bread will travel through the water slowly and then hover 4-6” off the bottom and particles will flake off and attract the fish.

The other key method is maggot and either single red or white or two at most and these turned out to be the methods that resulted in the winners catching well on Sunday.

Jarvo fished punched bread from peg 14 and was fortunate that nobody went in the peg opposite - peg 6 which meant he could fish 2/3 the way across and on punched bread he netted 59lb 14oz for a clear win moving onto a net score of 40. Mike Bassett fished both methods – starting on punched bread but then switching to a red and white maggot on a 16 hook and this netted him 47lb 08 oz – he was in peg 8 which is a very similar area to peg 14 – this put Mike onto a net score of 35 which is third in the table. Also, Mike managed to land a 17lb 05oz mirror carp after the time had been called – anglers have 15 minutes after time is called if they have a fish on the hook –

Mike had to bully this fish in and was frightened that he would lose it but got it into his keep net with very little time left. Trev Mc chose peg 16 at the bottom of the slope – this has been a top peg in previous years but this year it is not producing anywhere near what it has on previous years – 14lb 07oz for fourth but second in the table on 36 points.

Rob Smith fished well for a third place with 23lb 14oz in peg 1 but leaves him in 6th place in the league ladder.

Division 2 and the weights start to show the difference in ability with Jim P winning with 13lb 07oz and locking him in clear second in the league with 36 points. Colin M was second with 6lb 13oz and keeps him top of the league on 38 points – Mick Oakes was third with 4lb 02oz which takes him to 31 points – 1 point behind tied for 3rd on 332 points Keith L and Billy.

Within the league we have prizes for biggest fish and biggest individual match weight – currently Mike Bassett 17lb 05oz and Keith L 9lb 09oz have biggest fish and Jarvo 71lb 110z and Col M 67lb 10oz have biggest weights – the matches in March may well see changes.

Match 8 was fished in between two hurricanes – the conditions were fairly calm on the Sunday but Saturday and Sunday night saw wind speeds of 60mph on the pond.

These rough conditions will move the fish as hard wind hitting the water creates under tows and thermal layers in the water – peg choice would be crucial and so it proved – Darren with 6th choice went in peg 12 – a cold peg shielded by a high bank that gets no daytime sun – But the fish were there in numbers and on punched bread a weight of 132lb 12oz a massive weight for this time of year – Mike Bassett was second on peg 23 with 34lb 03oz and Mike Sinclair in peg 1 with 26lb 01oz was third.

Division 2 Col Marker in peg 7 had 34lb 02oz for a win with Jim P peg 9 31lb 11 oz second and Billy in peg 29 31lb 7oz for third.

The league tables have Jarvo on 46 pts Mike B on 44 pts and Trev Mc on 43 pts and in division2 Col M on 48 pts Jim P on 45 pts and Billy on 40 pts Match 9 - was fished on the 14th February and with results only the league tables now have Mike Bassett 52 pts Jarvo 51 pts and Steve P and Trev Mc 50 pts – so all to play for – second division Col M 58 pts Jim P 53 pts and Billy 47 pts. Very little information before going to press on this match.

Tight lines – Ron Bulless

The day did not get off to the best start with Pete feeling unwell en-route to Saltburn, but he pulled himself together and dug deep knowing if he had to he could always retire at the first checkpoint.

With the temperature at 4 degrees and a wind chill of -1 the heroic trio made a few last minute clothing decisions and headed for the start line. Heading out the sun decided to make an appearance as the intrepid trio headed along the coastal path towards the first checkpoint at 5 miles. At midday everything changed! The sun disappeared, the wind got even stronger, the rain and sleet blizzards became a frequent occurrence as what had been quite a pleasant first half

great shame to see the event cancelled due to COVID last year so I am sure we will see a successful return for keen fishers this year.

“It is without doubt the largest threeday beach fishing championship event in Europe, so we’re excited that competitors from countries such as Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands can enjoy our surroundings.

“We also welcome the economic benefits the event will bring for local businesses, as we know from previous years’ experience it generates an estimated half a million pounds each time.”

turned into a very cold and muddy afternoon, where the race organisers had kindly decided to add the majority of the steep muddy hill climbs and descents. It was on one of those climbs at Highcliff Nab which lived up to its name, it was high, there was a cliff but no-one knew what a nab was (we will just gloss over that) where Martin slipped at the summit almost tearing his calf. Thankfully it didn’t fully pop but it made for an interesting last few miles! The weather aside the remainder of the race went without a hitch apart from a couple of navigational errors when both Pete and Martin’s GPS watches decided to route in the wrong direction, we should have really read the instructions - 29 and 1/4 miles later the trio crossed the finish line arm in arm with the official times recorded as: Caroline 6:42:59 Martin 6:43:03 Peter: 6:43:05 50th park run for Hornsea Harrier Our one and only Hornsea Harrier Wendy Taylor did her 50th Park Run at Rutland Waters on Saturday, February 12. Wendy ran it in an amazing 32 minutes. This was her first one for over two years.

HORNSEA OUTDOOR BOWLING CLUB NEEDS YOU!

By Vice President, Ron Bulless HORNSEA Outdoor Bowling Club is actively looking for new members.

The club was established in 1911 and is situated on Atwick Road just behind the Indoor Bowls Club.

Currently the two clubs are separate entities and the indoor club has over 300 members. These scatter to the four corners of the East Riding when it comes to the outdoor season and this leaves little more than a couple of dozen bowlers who register with the outdoor club.

I joined the outdoor club in 2021 after three years with the indoor club and I have not met a more friendly group of people. All the work from ground-keeping to maintaining the clubhouse is done by the members on a volunteer basis.

The club enters teams that play on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons in leagues at all standards. We then have the Friday afternoon roll ups and

coaching sessions followed by tea/coffee and biscuits.

There is no obligation to play in league matches and free coaching of four lessons will be provided and to this end we are holding a meet and greet day with coffee and cake to all attendees on Saturday, April 2 from 10 until 12 noon.

I started playing when I was just 15 in the works leagues and stopped in my early thirties to try other sports such as golf and marathon training but by chance, I happened across Hornsea Indoor Club which I joined with my wife in 2018. I was then asked if I would consider playing for the outside club and after a little persuasion I agreed.

My wife and I have so many new friends and get so much enjoyment from the club. In the brief time I have been at both clubs I have acted as a Director and now sit on both committees and like to think that I have a positive contribution.

What is more important, is

what I get back from the club, with so many new friends and the choice to play at the level I want to and as often as I like with no pressure with a lovely group of people. I am now 64 and suffer all of the aches and pains that we do as we enter our 60 plus time of life but bowls keeps me active and is great for my spirit due to the banter and new friendships I have made.

I would recommend the game of bowls to young and old and men and women, couples and especially those that are sadly now on their own. Bowls can give you a new social network of people who all want to help but understand that not all want to compete and some just want to come along for a jolly and a cup of tea, let me tell you all are welcome.

Make a note in your diary or contact Ken Sutton kensutton68@gmail.com or Diane on 07544 317387 and change your life and support our local club.

Hornsea Indoor Bowling Club members go to the World Bowling Championships LAST month saw several members of Hornsea Indoor Bowling go to Potters Resort at Hopton on Sea near Lowestoft in Norfolk. Members have been going since 2007, all trips have been arranged by Kath Lockwood with the help of her husband Tony. Kath has decided to step down as organiser due to health issues but club member Arthur Redfearn, a regular visitor to Potters has stepped in and will arrange next year’s January trip.

At this year’s event to thank Kath for the tremendous job she has done over the years, member Neil Gabriel presented Kath with a bouquet of flowers at breakfast on the final morning. She was very gracious in receiving them. Members attending watched several matches of the world indoor bowling championships but with the club going for the second of the three week event we got to see most of the semi finals and the world’s leading bowlers in action.

Despite it being a five hour journey it is still a much loved place to visit. This year’s winners were Les Gillett and Catherine Rednall in the men’s and ladies’ singles respectively.

APPRECIATED: Kath receiving the thank you flowers from those who have enjoyed attending the annual trip

ON SUNDAY, February 13 the annual indoor bowls challenge match took place with Atwick Road outdoor bowls club playing the Promenade bowls club.

36 bowlers took part in the match followed by a buffet and a fundraising raffle. Atwick

Road came out on top in a competitive event which was enjoyed by all.

A change from the last report is that registration day will now be Saturday, April 2 at 10am. All existing members and new members are very welcome to attend.

Hornsea Women Walking Footballers receive their England shirts FOLLOWING a recent training session Lucy Glover and Lynn Hill were delighted to be presented with their England playing shirts by the team’s captain.

Lucy and Lynn are hoping to be joined by another Hornsea player, Dee Meade, who is currently out of action and recuperating from an injury.

Their first matches for England are scheduled for March in Sweden against teams from the host nation, Norway and possibly Croatia.

The women’s Walking Football initiative on Hornsea’s 3G pitch welcomes new players on a Thursday evening at 6.45pm.

When one considers that the project is still in its formative year, the progress of the squad to generate not one but three international level players is remarkable.

ON SUNDAY, February 20 the Holliswomen hosted Scarborough Valkyries in the return league fixture.

It was looking a bit dubious as to whether the game would go ahead due to storms Dudley and Eunice but thankfully it did, albeit the storms had left their mark on the pitch with plenty of soft and muddy landings.

Both teams displayed strong and good rugby, adapting their games to accommodate the wet conditions.

Every player gave it their all on the pitch and the Hornsea spirit shone through, the speedy legs of the Valkyries (#8 and #15) didn’t dampen it.

Some colourful sideline antics and a first yellow card to be given by Referee Nick O'Mahony in a women’s league game.

Special shout out: Kirsty Holden - on her rugby debut as flanker

Hornsea Peloton’s youngest member, 19 year old Kirstie Drakeford, who lives in Catwick and is making a name for herself as a class rider. With help from Hornsea teacher Peter Hargreaves she is now also a member of active Filey where she obtained

rider leader qualification and now rides a Kuota bike. As a member of British cycling she recently rode at the Croft Circuit in Darlington and won the Velo 29 Series. Not only is Kirstie a talented cyclist but she is a highly ranked sprint triathlete who has qualified to represent Great Britain at the European Championships in Munich in August as a member of the GB under 25 team. Cycling is her main love and she is very ambitious, most recently competing in Leeds in the Raynor Foundation Series where she completed 14 miles in 40 minutes on the Brownlee track. Kirstie is appearing in the coming weeks at Wakefield representing British cycling in a 40 minute ride. The future looks great for Kirstie who still loves cycling with Hornsea Peloton when she can.
