Planning permission granted to expand Hornsea’s holiday offering HORNSEA’S holiday industry capacity is set to increase after planning permission is passed for the expansion of Hornsea Leisure Park.

The application will see the existing holiday park on Atwick Road expand by almost 45% with an additional 154 static caravans.

The approved planning also includes the building of a managers dwelling, a club/bar building, bin storage area and storage unit with associated works including children’s play area, car parking, hard and soft landscaping and associated infrastructure.

The caravans on the site must be occupied for holiday purposes only and no caravan’s can be occupied on a permanent basis.

The site is approximately 8.35 hectares running from Atwick Road to Cliff Road and the planned expansion will cover two areas. One is grass land located within the north western corner

of the park on land between Atwick Road and the existing car park. The second is a field located to the immediate south of the existing caravan park and runs parallel to the existing pitches up to Cliff Road.

The application was supported by Hornsea Town Council however there were multiple objections by residents particularly in the Cliff Road area. The resident’s concerns focussed primarily on the ability of Cliff Road to cope with the extra traffic. The site has access on both Cliff Road and Atwick Road.

The Atwick Road access was provided in 2015 to enhance customer access and reduce traffic flows and congestion in and around Hornsea town centre, as previously all leisure park traffic had to travel through the town centre and use the Cliff Road to access the site.

Residents on Cliff Road highlighted

for a large part traffic on the road is single line with passing places between parked cars with a new housing complex currently in development as well further adding to the traffic using the road.

In addressing concerns about Cliff Road Hornsea Leisure as part of the planning permission will be providing an improved pedestrian junction. This is to ensure satisfactory facilities for pedestrians and to encourage travel by means other than cars between the site and Hornsea along Cliff Road.

Vehicle access to the site from Cliff Road will be controlled by a barrier and key fobs for the lifetime of the development unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority to maintain highway safety and amenity of local residents.

Vehicular access to the extended holiday park from Cliff Road will also be controlled by a barrier and used for

emergency vehicles, site management and maintenance only for the lifetime of the development.

The expansion will also benefit the town through a section 106 agreement for the development to make a financial contribution of £15,000 towards improvements to the pedestrian crossing facilities and installing tactile paving, along the east side of Cliff Road between the site and Eastgate, which would then link to the existing crossing facilities on Cliff Road and Newbegin.

Addressing concerns regarding noise from the new club house building all equipment and internal amplified music has noise limit levels to ensure it doesn’t have an unreasonable impact on nearby residents.

The development is also expected to create 12 new jobs, eight full time and four part time.

‘A Real Legend’ wins Hornsea Scarecrow Trail Cycles reported stolen FOUR CYCLES have been reported stolen in Hornsea. The burglary was reported in the area of Swan Court in Hornsea.

Between 6pm on August 13 and 11am on August 15, four cycles were reported as stolen from the garage and summer house of a residential address. A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: “The stolen cycles are a red and blue 'Giant Cotend', a black and blue 'Giant TCR Ad Pro', a black and white 'Giant VCR' and a 'Nicholas Ventus' cycle. Two of the cycles are of particularly high value.”

Anyone with any information in relation to this is asked to call the Police on 101, quoting the reference number: 16/85152/20.

THE WINNERS of Hornsea’s annual scarecrow trail have been presented with their prizes.

The theme of this year’s trail was ‘Fairy Tales and Legends’.

The trail is organised by Hornsea Chamber of Trade supported by Hornsea Carnival Committee and ran from July 10 to July 26.

The winning scarecrow was a firefighter on Cliff Road in Hornsea by Ian and Rosie Thompson and was named ‘A Real Legend’. In May during the lockdown Ian and Rosie had a house fire at their home.

Luckily there was no one in and no one was injured. Rosie commented: “When we saw it

was the scarecrow festival, we knew we had to do a fireman in tribute to those who put out our fire.” Ian’s father Bob Thompson was also a fireman in Hornsea which made the scarecrow even more poignant for the family.

Second place was awarded to ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ by Eileen Thompson on Newbegin and third place was ‘Beware Ogre – Shrek’s Swamp’ by the Eldred family on Football Green. The winners received cash prizes of £100, £50 and £25 sponsored by Longbeach Leisure, Jamie Goodlass Hair, Nails and Beauty and Hornsea Civic Society.

REPLACE THE PANES NOT THE FRAMES! The Welcome Centre, Hornsea – Volunteers The “Welcome Centre, Hornsea” has been operating for nearly a year and despite not having a building to operate from as yet, we have come a long way. We have been mainly consulting with local residents and organisations to find what is missing in Hornsea, asking what is needed and wanted. From the results of this consultation period we have decided to focus on these aims: • Provide professional debt advice and a support and signposting service to the full range of community services and group activities.

• Become a referring agency for the East Riding Foodbank, working in partnership with Men in Sheds as a pick up point.

• To provide a range and scope of activities, services and learning opportunities with the view of promoting and supporting the Health and Wellbeing of residents of Hornsea and the surrounding villages.

NEW EXCITING VOLUNTEERING ROLES Chair This voluntary role is a pleasurable and exciting opportunity to be involved in an up and coming project in Hornsea which also benefits outlying villages.

This would be suitable for anyone with previous leadership experience and good communication skills. He or she will have the ability to inspire and drive a dedicated group of volunteers and to help them develop the “Welcome Centre, Hornsea”

A NEW ADDITION TO THE FLORAL FAMILY We have recently acquired a very large seagull who is now sitting near the café overlooking the prom.

Bertie, one of our four legged visitors was impressed.

“How many chips has he eaten?”

Hornsea Primary School donated the seagull which is unnamed. We are hoping the children at the school will take part in a story writing competition about a seagull which will result in him/her having a name. Watch this space!

THE HALL We are reviewing the situation regularly regarding opening the hall fully.

Our first event is the Keep Fit class.

We have taken bookings for some small private events which can easily operate social distancing.

As we book events each will be risk assessed under the guidelines around Covid-19.

Website: www.floralhall.org.uk or visit the The Floral Hall Facebook Page Robyn makes £600 fundraising donation to Eastgate Medical Group EIGHT year old Robyn Harper from Hornsea has raised £1100 for the NHS in lockdown. Robyn decided to raise the money after watching Captain Sir Tom Moore. Her Grandma had been in Castle Hill Hospital for three weeks, so she decided to make rainbow bracelets and glitter bottles to raise funds for them.

After raising £1100 Robyn decided to donate £600 to Hornsea GP surgery and £500 will be donated to Castle Hill hospital.

Receiving the donation from

Robyn, Dr Garwood said: “I’m so impressed that you have raised all this money. Captain Tom has been an inspiration to so many. Thank you very much.” Dr Garwood explained the funds would go into the surgery equipment fund and they hope to purchase a

centrifuge. This is used to spin blood to separate it following blood tests. For the surgery and patients this means they will be able to perform blood tests later in the day. Currently some tests are only available until 3pm but this new equipment will mean these can be carried out into the later appointments which will help those who need after work appointments.

Reverend Tina Minett Stevens also attended as a supporter of Robyn. Robyn’s mum Amanda explained Rev

Tina had Christened their three children only last year and had been very supportive of Robyn’s fundraising. Rev Tina commented: “So many have been inspired by Captain Tom and how wonderful one of Hornsea’s own has been and such a young person. It’s lovely to have done it for the local surgery and Castle Hill Hospital.”

Hornsea Wellbeing Studio welcome back customers A warm welcome back to all!

The Hornsea clinic is officially open again after a long absence. Over the past two weeks I have been testing new Covid Secure procedures before opening to the public. It has been a long lockdown and I hope all of you have ‘come through’ in good health.

What to expect Pre booked appointments with phone consultations prior to attending will minimise physical contact time in the clinic. The door will remain locked to maintain a sterile area.

When attending clients will place coats, bags and shoes in a box near the front door before cleansing your hands. A temperature measure will be recorded on the track and trace list with name and phone number.

You should truthfully answer Covid related questions. If you have symptoms such as raised temperature, unusual

coughing or a new feeling of being unwell, please cancel your appointment and contact your doctor. We must do all we can to protect each other.

In these unprecedented times failure to turn up without notice will mean I will have to ask for 50% of your fee. Emergency exceptions may be wavered.

Unless medically exempt, wear a facemask. This may be removed when face down and replaced once facing upwards. Spare masks are available if you forget yours.

The couch, equipment and toilet area will be fully cleaned between clients.

Appointments take longer, so fewer time slots are available.

Tuesday closed, Wednesday 9am-late, Thursday and Friday 9am-6pm, and Saturday 9am to noon. Late night treatments on a Wednesday evening.

Opening times will be reviewed over the coming months. These new hours reduce overhead costs and will I hope, keep client fees down.

Revised Taiji classes and venue Studio space prevents standard classes taking place due to distancing rules. It’s with regret that I have taken the decision to close the Tuesday and Wednesday Sun Style sessions at this time. Although it is small numbers, those Clinic fees and open hours familiar with the style know we are in close I have not passed on PPE proximity. Hiring a new expenses. Treatments venue makes these costs are the same as pre Covid conditions. I will try to unviable. However, in hold these prices as long as due time it may return.

For all multi style and possible. The new open qigong classes I have hours are: Monday and

hired the larger upstairs room in the Town Hall. It is light with high ceilings to aid air circulation. Classes recommence Tuesday September 8, Beginners – Novice 9.45am-10:45am, Advanced 11am- Noon.

Previous studio students will be here too. We have access 10 minutes before sessions. Use sanitiser at the front door and in class.

One person at a time in the lift. We have a single toilet upstairs with cleaning materials inside for each

user, bring your own drink.

Mobility scooters may be parked outside. A weekly track and trace list will be used to record your name and phone details. It is your personal responsibility to inform me if you have been in contact with any person Covid positive and isolate.

There are no immediate plans for the Bridlington North Library classes to resume due to hall hire closures. I will contact all students once a return date is confirmed. Together over

the coming months we will create workable classes and treatment regimes. I thank you all for returning and sustaining regular clinics and classes. Additional classes may return in time, we are unable to predict the coming months, so for now a day at a time. It is heartwarming to hear how Taiji has helped many through lockdown. Stay Safe, see you soon.

Warmest Wishes Heather

Life on the Market Place

by Trains of Hornsea WE REALLY hope everyone has been enjoying the warm summer weather and the real community spirit Hornsea has.

Market Place has been busy for us all especially those places included in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme which runs until August 31. This has given people a great opportunity to try new places and enjoy old favourites. The hanging baskets provided by Hornsea Town Council look as fantastic as ever bringing a huge amount of joy and colour to the town. Thank you to everyone who has supported the council in this.

We have had lots of new visitors to the salon over these last few weeks. We have always welcomed holiday makers.

We have been extremely grateful for

everyone’s understanding of the new government guidelines and the cooperation of everyone to ensure we are keeping an up to date track and trace system. Appointments are not always necessary please read our guidelines on our window before entering the premises.

The government updated guidelines and as of August 8 clients had to wear a mask in salons. Since reopening on July 4 we have insisted all our clients wear a mask before entering the salon. Both staff and clients felt it was more respectful to each other to be wearing a mask whilst at their appointment. We are still offering isolation appointments for anyone who requires one. This is an appointment for the more vulnerable clients where you are the only client in the salon with your stylist. This is an exclusive service we are offering as we Furniture Painting Service want our clients to feel safe and Home Accessories & Gifts comfortable. We are very excited to Workshops introduce our new toners and colour conditioners which complement each other. We have new tones in rose gold and silver both are proving to be extremely popular.

Don’t hesitate to contact the salon for more details or have a look at our work on our Facebook Page – Trains of Hornsea.

Planning application highlights Planning battle continues over the former Travellers Rest pub site in Long Riston LEGAL action has been taken against a developer for unauthorised demolition of the former Travellers Rest pub in Long Riston.

Identical summonses were served on both Wayne Low as an individual as well as the company AGML (UK) Ltd. These state that between 27 November 2019 and 1 February 2020 at Long Riston, began a demolition of the Travellers Rest, Main Street, Long Riston without giving notice of an intention to do so to the local authority, contrary to Section 80(2)(a) and (4) of the Building Act 1990. The second summons states between 27 November 2019 and 1 February 2020 at Long Riston caused to be carried out the demolition of a building and failed to obtain the required planning permission to demolish an an unlisted building in a conservation area namely the Travellers Rest, Long Riston, Contrary to Section 196D(1) and (5) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

These court summons comes as East Riding Council’s Eastern Area Planning Sub Committee voted unanimously on Monday, August 10 to reject plans to build six homes on the site which includes the cleared area and former car park.

A small section of the pub remains

which is planned to be reopened as a micro pub. The application claims: “The development of the six terraced homes will fund the refurbishment and reopening of the pub. The development will provide social benefits to the area through the reopening of the pub and will provide local employment in the pub.”

Speaking at the planning committee meeting Mr David Barker, the agent for the applicant, said: “The pub has been empty for two years and marketed at several points over the last 10 years. It has not been put to productive use or taken on as a community asset despite long opportunity to do so.” Describing the now demolished pub as a ‘boarded up eyesore’ Mr Barker added: The pub was in a very poor state of repair. Our client was refurbishing the roof and part of it collapsed into the building. Previous internal works left a high health and safety risk as described by a professional structural engineer” before stating that demotion wasn’t the original intention.

Resident Mr John Sherwood from the Long Riston Residents Action Group appealed to the planning sub committee to refuse the application.

He told them: “the demolition of the pub without planning permission has removed a highly valued community

asset from the village. The village has expanded significantly over the past 20 years and yet the village amenities including the post office and shop and now the pub have disappeared. The community of Long Riston request the pub be reinstated on its original site and of a design that is sympathetic to the former building that is at the heart of the village conservation area no other plan will compensate for the removal of the community asset.”

email: editor@hornseacommunitynews.uk

The work is expected to take place in late autumn to early winter to ensure that the construction work is not taking place in a sensitive period for bird breeding with it being a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protected Area (SPA).

by Hornsea Town Council.

Hornsea Leisure Centre update EAST Riding Ward Councillor Barbara Jefferson has been concerned about the lack of toilet facilities on Hornsea seafront. Cllr Jefferson explained: “because the Hornsea Leisure Centre is still closed to the public and has been for a considerable amount of time for the refurbishment, the toilet facilities on the seafront were sadly lacking.

Discussing the possibility of a Portaloo station being made available seemed a good way forward. This idea was accepted by officers and the arrangements were made.”

A block of six green Portaloo’s have since been available on the corner of Sands Lane.

Cllr Jefferson added: “although they can be seen easily, they fit in the area very well. Many

people including residents, business premises, and visitors are very pleased with this addition. I hope that they can take the place of the public conveniences which used to be further along the promenade which were demolished to make way for the new Hub which will home the new public toilets. They will of course be taken away as soon as the Hornsea Leisure Centre (Hub) opens.”

Residents have been contacting Cllr Jefferson asking when the Hornsea Leisure Centre renamed The Hornsea Hub will be opening to the public.

Some have also asked if there is a possibility that people would be allowed to visit before the official opening. Cllr Jefferson confirmed: “I contacted The Head of Culture and Customer Services at the

Hornsea Grocery Support closes as its initial purpose is fulfilled THE GROCERY support service set up and run

by Hornsea Crisis Support group has closed its doors for the time being.

The group was set up specifically as a shortterm organisation to assist residents during the lockdown period.

The grocery support service element was set up to support those struggling as a result of the pandemic including those on reduced furlough pay or waiting for self employed furlough money to come through.

The closure of the

group coincides with the reintroduction of an East Riding Foodbank pick up point within the town and the continued success of the Hornsea Pantry.

These organisations will ensure those needing longer term support in the town are helped where possible.

The group will take a pause and be prepared for any help needed should there be a second wave or more people in need as a result of the longer-term impact of the virus on finances.

Following the closure of Hornsea Grocery Support if you are struggling and in need of food / grocery support please contact:

Foodbank: 07511 926967 (between 10am and 4pm)

Hornsea Pantry: 07305 097009

East Riding of Yorkshire Council. I am very pleased to announce that there will be a number of tours to meet the different groups including residents’ groups, organisations and the press as soon as plans can be made available. Of course social distancing and the number of people allowed will be a consideration at all times. Officers and staff will be doing everything possible to maximise the access and use of the centre with all the new areas.” Councillor Jefferson also confirmed that a fully fitted Changing Places toilet will now be available at the Hub for the public and users of the Hub. She added: “this is a much-needed facility and will be much appreciated.”

New home for mosaic seagull A MOSAIC seagull has been rehomed from Hornsea Community Primary School (HCPS). The Seagull is thought to have been made by students at the former pupil referral centre adjacent to the school. HCPS now utilise the former referral unit and due to health and safety concerns about younger pupils climbing on the seagull the school decided to find the seagull a more suitable home.

As the logo for the Hornsea Floral Hall is also a seagull June Greensmith from Hornsea Urban Gardeners (HUG) who works with the school on some of their garden areas suggested the Floral Hall be approached to rehome it. The Floral Hall seagull, named Sinbad, was also designed by a pupil from HCPS. Michelle Simmonite from HCPS said: It’s a perfect location as more people will see him at the Floral Hall.”

It’s planned that the school will run a competition to name the seagull and perhaps even create his story from how he arrived and left for his new home as part of their pupil’s autumn work.

The seagull can now be seen in the Floral Hall gardens on Hornsea promenade after being moved by Hornsea Floral Hall volunteers who confirmed he is very heavy!

Busy start for Hornsea’s new estate agents

IT’S BEEN a busy three month’s for Hornsea’s newest estate agents since their launch on June 1. Our House Estate agents opened online on June 1 with their new office on Newbegin following a month later.

Initially Managing Director Steph Kemp opened with herself and Letting’s Manager Maddie Lancaster at the helm. Following a whirlwind three month’s which has exceeded even her own expectations Steph has now taken on two new team members.

Lisa Lancaster as Office Manager and Lydia Campey has joined the team on a level two apprenticeship as a Junior Estate Agent.

The estate agency occupies the former Lloyds Bank building on the corner of Bank Street after an extensive refurbishment. Steph was successful in obtaining a £10,000 ‘Love Your High Street’ grant from East Riding Council to transform the premises. Hunter’s Renovations from Hornsea have replaced the flooring and created

wall panelling to complement the building. Signs and Displays in Hull have provided the internal and external signage as well as the lit display boards showcasing the available properties in the windows. Steph commented: “The grant team are so impressed with the transformation they have asked us to be one of the faces of the scheme to inspire others Despite Our House being a new business, the team have between them more than 30 years industry experience with Steph, Lisa and

Maddie having worked together in the past. The business has launched at a time when property demand in the area is at a high following the lockdown and with the bonus of the stamp duty holiday. Steph added: “We have seen an increase in people looking to relocate to the area from other parts of the country.

Our sales have been amazing with more than 30 properties marketed with us and over 20 sales already and no signs of it slowing down. We’re building the

business on the ethos of oldfashioned values with a fresh approach. Customer service is at the heart of the business.”

The doors of the office are open for those interested in buying, selling or letting to visit the team. (above) RENOVATED: Lisa, Steph, Maddie and Lydia in the newly refurbished premises (above left) WELCOME: The doors are open to give a warm welcome to visitors

Hornsea’s Alexandra House Returns to Former Grandeur UP UNTIL the 1950’s, Hornsea’s Alexandra Hotel stood majestic and proud as an iconic resting place at the end of the coastal railway line. In more recent years, ‘The Alex’ public house became neglected before eventually being closed by Enterprise Inns, but life has finally been breathed into the old site. One year in the making, the new Alexandra House – a stunning collection of nine luxury apartments – boasts all the former grandeur and elegance of the original Victorian building.

Tom Young, Co-Founder of Beverley-based Foxglove Homes, shares some of the detail around the designing and rebuilding of this landmark property and explains why demand for a coastal ‘des res’ is on a high: “Following the closure of the Alexandra House pub which sits within Hornsea’s Conservation Area, we felt that with its wonderful history, its superb position with sea views, and close proximity to Hornsea’s town centre amenities, the location could offer a beautiful place to live.

“As part of our East Coast Living portfolio, our aim was to create sophisticated, spacious and desirable coastal apartments, but we also wanted to celebrate the original impressive building structure and opted to use this as the design inspiration for the new Alexandra House.

“As a result of fire damage in the 1950’s, the hotel was reduced to a two storey flat roof building, a mutilated form of the original four storey structure which had a pitched roof.

Sympathetic to the original in size and scale, we are delighted with today’s Alexandra House which now presents buyers with the ultimate in luxurious contemporary living.

“Our pledge was to provide a high-quality building that together with the local community, we could be proud of. We have been delighted with the trust, support, and feedback from the people of Hornsea for this project which began in 2019. The grand exterior now resembles the original and incorporates beautiful cornice

We are the answer By Margaret Knapton for Fairtrade Hornsea IT WOULD be so easy to lose hope as we are confronted with a tsunami of global events such as global warming, Covid19, economic depression and 'no-deal' Brexit, all of which seem outside our control.

And yet we only have to stop and think how our community has stepped up to support each other during the Covid19 lock-down.

Leafyseadragon, a local zero waste refill business, has come into being in response to plastic pollution.

Many people have consciously changed their fossil fuel consumption both in the home and for transport. Fairtrade continues to promote fair and ethical trade that does not exploit people or the planet.

In all these ‘we are the answer’.

Traidcraft Exchange recently published a blog post entitled 'Recovery is a long road – the situation in Bangladesh' and this is an extract from it: Recently, Shahed - our Country Director in

Bangladesh - shared news of a nation in crisis. Things are worse than we thought.

He told us…

“With heavy heart and sheer frustration, I have to share with you that many people who have graduated from poverty during the last couple of decades, are now falling back into poverty.“ Coronavirus continues to threaten the progress we’ve made. For those who thought they had left poverty behind for good, the future is worrying. But change is possible in the darkest of situations.

Shahed knows this well.

Over the years he has been on the team we’ve seen hundreds of thousands of people take steps towards a better future - co-operatives formed, harvests improved, earnings increased, children educated and families fed.

But now that progress is threatened.

We can only recover if we do this together.

People who were doing well only a few months back are now asking secretly for help.

They are trying to sell everything they can, but there is no buyer.”

Crops are destroyed, and fields are flooded. The possibility of famine looms heavily. It’s a stark reminder that Recovery isn’t just about simply surviving lock-down.

It’s about building a radically different world, where we face up to the twin crises of climate change and global inequality, and demand justice for the most vulnerable.

Together, we can protect the poorest people during this crisis. We can take the first steps on the road to recovery and a better future.

So what can we do? Small changes can make a big difference – why not change one or two of your regular shopping items to fairly traded ones? The money supports the producers and not shareholders and encourages sustainable, environmentally friendly production. Look for the Fairtrade mark in the supermarkets or why not support Fairtrade Hornsea's

Hornsea WI are welcoming Sarah back on October 26 at 7pm for another talk aptly timed for Halloween: ‘Working with the ghosts of Hampton Court Palace’. In this talk Sarah talks about wandering the galleries late at night on her own in the dark, the history stories and sightings of ghosts over the years. This is free for Hornsea WI members or £3 for non-members with everyone (over 18)

welcome. Non-members can contact Hornsea WI to book a place by messaging the Hornsea WI Facebook page or e-mail familygranthamb@talktalk.n et Members have also received their fourth meeting in a bag delivery.

The August bag included a homemade piece of tiffin made by member Jenny Milner, newsletter and a pebble to decorate. The pebbles as they are decorated will be added by members to a pebble caterpillar at Hornsea Floral Hall garden on the promenade. Anyone is welcome to join in and add a decorated pebble so the caterpillar can continue to grow. The WI are delighted to be providing takeaway scones at the Hornsea St Nicholas Horticultural Show on Saturday, September 5 – the bags of scones will be £1 with change required for the honesty box.

We don’t normally have a meeting in August but I thought I would still drop you a line to keep in touch.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well and have been able, or felt able to go out and about a bit more. Perhaps you have met with family and friends that you haven’t seen for a while. My son and his partner and their new puppy, a very cute cockapoo, have come to stay which is lovely. However, as we have two Siamese cats you can imagine how that is going!

As usual I have no further news about the resumption of meetings for the U3A of any kind. I know that some of you meet up anyway and the current advice (today, that is: it could be different tomorrow!) is to meet in groups of six, preferably outside and at a safe distance.

Once there is something more positive from U3A headquarters I will let you know. I sincerely hope that we will be able to resume again and also hope that you will feel able to remain a member of the U3A. I would really appreciate some help if you feel able. As you know, we have a whole page in the Community News but as we have no speaker meetings to report on I am running short of things to say. If you have any anecdotes about your time in the U3A, or any photographs of things you have been doing, or anything you would like to share I would be most grateful to hear from you.

To finish with here is another poem which might make you smile, and which might resonate with you!

HAPPY REMINISCENCES FROM THE THEATRE AND OUTINGS GROUP

When all at once my name was called To enter Tesco’s hallowed hall.

This was the pensioner’s special hour.

I’d gone to get a bag of flour, But I forgot when through the door What I had gone to Tesco for.

The Tesco staff are extra kind, I told them I had slipped my mind: They asked what else I had forgotThey clearly thought I’d lost the plot!

I phoned my wife again to ask, She reminded me of this key task: “I need some flour to bake a cake, With all those eggs you made me take.”

“Yes, I recall” I had to lie, I dared not ask what flower to buy!

But then I saw them next the tills: A bunch of golden daffodils!

Hope that has given you a smile. Enjoy the summer. Until we meet again- best wishes to you and your loved ones.

sums up the feelings of most of our enthusiastic members- whether in the early stages of learning or as seasoned regulars.

Having been an enthusiast of the game for over thirty years, I am acutely aware of the recent changes. Before Lockdown , I thought that people who played online should 'get out more', but now that I have joined the ranks, I think it could be the answer to the long winter evenings and snowy nights when outings are impossible. Having such a large group of kindred spirits is also a bonus.

At least thirty members of the Hornsea U3A group are now playing online on the BridgeBaseOnline website. Of course the social contact is lacking, but it is certainly the next best thing as it has the feeling of being together with those other three people who could be sitting across the virtual table.

Members are also having more games each week that the regular Friday slot allowed, and I foresee this continuing long after the end of Lockdown. Chris Wiggins is still doing sterling work with the beginners by setting up regular online Teaching Tables, and all are progressing well.

It has been something purposeful to punctuate the day for those of us who live alone, particularly those in the 'high risk' group, and it is good to know that our brain cells are suitably exercised regularly too.

Bridge during Lockdown is no longer four people sitting round a table. It is a new dimension which involves sitting at home with whatever gadget is at hand with an internet connection. I never anticipated this as a new aspect to my dotage and am thankful for it.

Hornsea and District Talking Newspaper restarts BECAUSE of the Coronavirus pandemic recordings of the Hornsea Talking Newspaper have been suspended for the past five months.

Behind the scenes members of the group have been preparing for the publication of future talking newspapers.

With the help of some well know local historians special features have been recorded which will be included in future editions. Carole Harker will share her knowledge of the ‘History of Hornsea Pottery’, Catherine Walker will talk about ‘The Hornsea Museum’ and John Miller will share his knowledge of Hornsea Mere.

More special features are planned for the future and will be incorporated in the monthly recordings which restarted on Friday August 21.

The Hornsea and District Talking Newspaper (HDTN) has been in existence since May 2017. It is recorded onto memory sticks and compact discs and circulated to people who through sight loss, stroke, infirmity or other cause cannot read the printed word. It is a free service and is run solely by local volunteers who compile monthly recordings featuring news and information from local media.

If anyone would like to receive future editions of the HDTN they are asked to contact Keith on 01964 536995 or email: keithcobble2371@msn.com

League of Friends, Hornsea Cottage Hospital Like most organisations our members have been unable to meet due to the pandemic and as we continue to be 'furloughed' and locked out of Kingfisher Lodge, in order to survive we, like the NHS, need to find new ways of working and communicating with the general public. Our committee member numbers are slightly depleted but how to attract new members is the question?

It is tempting under the present circumstances to close the League of Friends altogether but that would give carte blanche to the health authorities to do whatever they liked without being held to account and the public little or no say in what happens to health services here in Hornsea. We are and have been the voice of Hornsea residents since the hospital was built in 1922.

For those who may not realise it back in 2005 our hospital was threatened with closure and demolition but with intervention from the League of Friends and persuasive argument, the then authorities revised their plans

and came up with a refurbishment. We unfortunately lost the beds but gained a modern building with numerous services and clinics to help cut down on too many journeys out of town to the major hospitals.

We continue to press for more clinics and for consultants to hold out patients’ appointments here in Hornsea.

If the League is unable to continue it would be not for want of trying so we are asking you, the residents of Hornsea, to help us to continue to work on your behalf for the benefit of us all. If you are interested in joining the committee please contact the secretary 01964 534039 and help safeguard Hornsea health services.

We may be inactive at the moment but this does not mean all activity at the hospital has stopped. The CHCP services currently available are the Wound Clinic, Podiatry plus the hearing aid repair clinic run by Action on Hearing Loss which runs on a Tuesday. People can drop their hearing aids off at reception when the lady is there

on Tuesday morning between 9.30am-11am. They will repair them and then they can be collected after 11am.

Also on a Thursday Hull University Teaching offer a drop and collect hearing aid service and have now resumed their face to face audiology service.

Patients will be seen by their audiologist who is adhering to all infection control requirements and appointments have been organised to enable social distancing. They are currently working to re -establish their face to face ENT service at Hornsea.

This is an anxious time for patients, but everything is being done to ensure that you are seen in a safe environment.

Many who are particularly vulnerable are reluctant to attend hospital and doctor’s appointments because they do not feel safe and are confused by the new way of accessing treatment.

Due to the pandemic many health and care services were either restricted, relocated or paused and all healthcare

By June Barton

professionals have had to adjust to different ways of working. Services are now gradually opening up, some as before but some having to alter in order to ensure the safety for both patients and staff.

We can all help to ensure that health and care services can resume safely and the NHS is asking for your support by: • Attending any appointment booked on your behalf • Consulting NHS 111 if you are unsure which service you need • Only using A&E for emergencies • Being prepared to travel to a different location for appointments/treatment • Helping family and friends to get online to access online services if required The other consideration for those hesitant to seek medical help is that some conditions could possibly become worse with waiting and so medical intervention is likely the better option.

Mappleton business scoops Chairman’s Award A SMALL business from Mappleton was amongst the winners of this year’s East Riding of Yorkshire Council Chairman’s Awards The winners were revealed in a digital ceremony on the evening of Tuesday, July 28.

The annual event celebrates individuals, businesses, building projects and community groups which have made a significant contribution to improving life in the East Riding.

Bridlington Spa usually hosts the ceremony, but because of the COVID19 restrictions, this year’s winners were crowned during a virtual event which was shown live on the council’s social media channels.

Subli Metals from Mappleton were awarded joint winners of the Business Award for 50 and under employees along with CAB Executive Travel based in Goole. Subli Metals is a family business which has grown from a couple who wanted to be selfemployed to a thriving business employing seven local people. It specialises in aluminium sublimation blanks, from bookmarks to clocks, from sheet stock to door plaques.

The business has helped local mums get back into work and is flexible, so working hours fit around school times. Employees are given the training they need to undertake this skilled work. Highly commended in the category were Great Driffield Radio and Yorkshire Media Limited, Beverley.

Council chairman Councillor Pat Smith was joined by BBC Look North’s Clare Frisby to announce who had taken the honours from a strong set of shortlists, made up of nominations from members of the public. Councillor Smith said: “Although the event had to be online, I can assure you that it remains one of the most important annual occasions in the council’s diary, and for me personally as well. The event is our chance to thank and to honour those people all across the East Riding – businesses and organisations large and small - who contribute a huge amount, and often go the extra mile, to promote the area as a great place in which to work and to live.

“During my term of office as chairman, it is a constant source of pleasure and pride for me to see all those people who work so hard within their local communities to make the East Riding the very special place we all know

it to be. These awards continue to reflect the unique community spirit of our local area, and the efforts made by so many.”

The Built Heritage Award in the new dwellings, conversions, and minor works category was awarded to 9 Vicar Lane, Howden. The Hall at Holmpton was highly commended in this category. The Built Heritage Award in the commercial developments and major schemes category was awarded to The Point, Beverley. Driffield RUFC Ladies Team were awarded the Sport Award in the team and club category. In the talented performer category the winner was announced as Emily Asquith from Bridlington with Jake Bedford from Long Riston highly commended. The Community Group winner is the Hessle Epilepsy Society who have raised almost £400,000 to buy essential equipment for Castle Hill and Hull Royal Infirmary hospitals and local schools. They have funded a specialist epilepsy nurse who people can refer directly to for advice and help. The Community Individual Award winner 2020 is Darren Baker from Driffield. Despite suffering a severe head injury and being left disabled and in a wheelchair at 17 Darren has worked tirelessly to improve Driffield Beck. He set up a team of volunteers ‘Friends of the Beck’ who meet regularly in all weathers to clean the beck and to date have amassed over 900 bags of rubbish. Ray Garbutt from Bilton and Kirsty Clode from New Ellerby were among those highly commended in this category.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has taken delivery of its first electricpowered vehicles.

The four zero-emission Renault Kangoo vans have just been rolled out and are helping staff take much greener journeys as they go about their daily duties. The electric vans have replaced four similar diesel-powered vans and will be put through their paces to see if more council vehicles can follow in their tyre tracks and be replaced by electric versions in the near future.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has invested almost £13,000 in leasing the vans for the next two years - but they are predicted to save the council around £20,000 in diesel fuel and maintenance costs over that time.

New electric charging points have been installed at the council’s Beverley Depot, with other depots soon following suit.

Councillor Gary McMaster, the council’s portfolio holder for enhancing communities, said: “These electric vans are very much a concerted effort by the council to become more environmentally friendly, reduce our carbon footprint and

Electric-powered vehicles join the council’s fleet and Design division, and the fourth by bring our fleet right up to date.

PUPILS at Hornsea School and Language College collected their A Level exam results on Thursday, August 15. The school continued the tradition of the pupils collecting them in

put in place with students opening them outside. Staff were outside socially distanced to join in the celebrations.

Woods of Hornsea investing in young people WOODS of Hornsea have provided a former Hornsea School and Language College student with an apprenticeship opportunity.

Connor Wilson has worked for the builders merchants for over four years on a Saturday and during school holidays, while completing his education. Having completed his A Levels Woods have offered Connor a Level 2 Trade Supplier Apprenticeship. The aim of the industry specific

apprenticeship is that it is occupation focused rather than qualification led.

Connor will need to prove during the scheme that he can carry out all aspects of his job gaining transferable skills and credibility.

Connor said: “It’s a good opportunity to develop a better understanding of the builders trade. I have never considered University, I wanted to head into work through an apprenticeship. I will learn

everything from logistics and stock to being the friendly face behind the counter and customer service skills.”

Company owners Nick and Mandy Tudor added: “It will hopefully bring new ideas to our company.

We’re delighted to be able to support Connor as he has grown with us and is an integral part of the Woods team. We didn’t want to lose him and are happy to help him with his

progression.”

The company continues to support young people in the town welcoming their new Saturday staff member Alfie Thomas. Alfie picked up his GCSE results on August 20 and is heading into Hornsea Sixth Form to study Geography, Physics and Maths. Commenting on his new role Alfie said: “It’s good and I’m keeping busy and looking forward to combining the job with my A Levels.”

Students celebrate GCSE results PUPILS at Hornsea School and Language College opened their GCSE results in the school square on Thursday, August 20.

They were joined in the large open space by parents and teachers to celebrate their results.

Head teacher Mr Steve Ostler said: “I am very proud of them all. Thank you for all the hard work to the staff and students.”

Exams could not take place this year because of the Covid19 pandemic so students have been awarded teacher-assessed grades.

Councillor Julie Abraham, portfolio holder for children, young people, education, health and social care at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “I congratulate the young people of the East Riding for all their hard

THE SUMMER finally arrived in Hornsea, and it was great to see good numbers of holiday makers visiting our town. The recent warm spell encouraged many of our visitors to spend time on the beaches and enjoying a dip in the sea. Our watch teams have been busy keeping an eye out for the safety and wellbeing of those enjoying our wonderful coast. We were very aware that we did not have the presence of the RNLI lifeguards, who historically had been on the beach area down near the leisure centre. We were able to raise the alarm when a child was blown out to sea on an inflatable ring which resulted in her quick and efficient rescue. News of similar rescues from around the country provided a stark reminder to us all of the risks these beach toys can pose. On one occasion we spotted an empty, bright orange coloured ring a hundred metres off the beach that was being blown out to sea. It travelled around a mile within a short space of time and continued its journey northwards toward Flamborough Head. The risk here is that if this is spotted by a vessel, it could be raised as a live incident, as they would not be aware it was empty when it left the beach.

Weekends also attract jet-ski users to Hornsea.

On occasions, riders do not adhere to the 300 metre exclusion zone along the beach and ride very close to swimmers. This is a cause for concern to us and again a fatal accident in the Menai Straights raised awareness of the potential risks. A notice reminding riders of their responsibilities was posted at the launch area.

Our station provides information to visitors about tide times, essential information for those planning a coastal walk. We also receive a host of enquiries including where the nearest first aid services are, mainly when folks have been stung by weaver fish. Also requests for information about vessel’s anchored in the bay and where the dog friendly beaches are.

On August 1, we celebrated our second anniversary by decorating the station. We also

provided information boards about what NCI does and held a bucket collection to raise much needed funds. This was also ‘Yorkshire Day’, so we acknowledged this by raising both the NCI flag and the Yorkshire flag. The event provided an opportunity to chat to members of the public about our work, at a social distanced safe space!

Another collection event took place on August 15.

This was also the NCI’s patron, Princess Anne’s 70th Birthday, so we flew both the NCI and the Union Flag to acknowledge her special day. We have another one planned for Bank Holiday Saturday, August 29. Please pop by and ask any questions you have, it will be good to see you!

The team has been operating the station throughout the summer from 9am-6pm, in a three hour shift pattern. Working arrangements have been modified based on social distancing requirements. This has meant the station has been unable to open for our usual public viewing session. We look forward to re-opening this as soon as we can.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer, take care and stay safe.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Swiss Cottage customers change amounts to large donation SWISS Cottage Bar and Restaurant on New Road, Hornsea have made a donation to Hornsea Inshore Rescue (HIR) collected from their customers.

For the past couple of years there has been a large whisky bottle on their bar which customers have contributed their change to fill. Owner, Noel Clubley, counted the contents and was astonished that £808.20 had been raised. Noel decided to donate this money to Hornsea Inshore Rescue. A presentation evening was held on Thursday July 23 to Sue Hickson-Marsay, Chair of HIR accompanied by crew members Faye Melody and Tom Mitchell.

Sue thanked all who contributed in raising the impressive donation and to the people of Hornsea for their continued and generous support. Sue also praised the efforts of HIR’s Ian Worsdale, who couldn’t be present on the night, for his publicity and fundraising roles. Noel thanked everyone who put coins in the bottle particularly at the Wednesday night quizzes. A new bottle is now on the bar.

Swift launch to assist at Atwick Gap On Saturday, August 15 Hornsea Inshore Rescue was tasked to assist the police and coastguards following a report of a man entering the sea to the north of Hornsea.

Following a very swift launch Hornsea’s independent lifeboat ‘Spirit of Hornsea’ was on the scene near Atwick Gap within minutes of the

call. Upon arrival it was found that the casualty was being assisted out of the shallows by the police and coastguards.

The lifeboat then stood by until the casualty was safely recovered from the beach. Leading Coxswain Karl Shannon commented: “We were pleased to see a good outcome from what could

have been a nasty incident as quite a rough sea was running at the time and it was a bit of a bumpy ride back to the Hornsea slipway.”

The crew were Leading Coxswain Karl Shannon, Coxswain Steve Hall and Adam Collins. A swift launch was assured by Tractor Driver Adrian Chiverton.

Focus on team member Kate Ramsay IN THIS month’s spotlight on Hornsea Inshore Rescue volunteers we meet Kate Ramsay. Kate is one of the organisation's newest recruits.

Originally from Doncaster Kate moved to Manchester to complete a degree in International Business. After graduation she moved to West Yorkshire where she helped run a property renovation business.

Five years ago, Kate got a dog, Mable, and though she had always enjoyed foreign holidays by the sea Kate realised she couldn’t leave Mable behind. She decided the best option would be to buy a house and live by the sea. A work colleague suggested she try Hornsea, somewhere she had never been!

Kate explained: “I came over to Hornsea for a day to view a number of houses, fell in love with one and got the keys a few months later. After renovating the property and moving here I fell in love with Hornsea!

“My sister and I used to go on regular caravan holidays to Bridlington, Flamborough and Scarborough and we would always visit the lifeboat stations.

Even back then I thought I would love to be part of a sea rescue team. Within a few weeks of moving to Hornsea I got in touch with Hornsea Inshore Rescue and was over the moon when they said I could join the team.

Sue Hickson-Marsay will probably say that I am a little bit too enthusiastic!! Whilst I’m sure that it sounds clichéd, it is

true that they are like my second family. Every member is different in what they do and have their own personalities, however, where they do not differ is how they treat new members and indeed each other.

There is no feel of a hierarchical system, it’s a total and utter team.

It’s great fun doing the fundraising side of it. I’ve helped out at some of the ‘Fish and Ships’ lunches and interacting with the local community has massively helped me to settle in here. Despite the banter that comes with not being ‘a local’ I have been truly welcomed both by the town and Hornsea Inshore Rescue.”

Kate is looking forward to becoming a fully-fledged crew member and her dream is to become a coxswain. Kate added: “At the moment I’m more washing the boat down and mastering the bowline knot. But watch this space!”

WELCOME: Kate Ramsay is one of Hornsea Inshore Rescue’s newest members

Help for struggling boaters AT 9PM ON Tuesday, August 11 Hornsea Inshore Rescue (HIR) were called to help three boaters who were finding it impossible to recover their inflatable boat. They had self launched for a few hours fishing but upon returning to the beach they could not recover the craft onto its trailer due to the surf having got up whilst they were out. The HIR crew were told by the boaters they usually launched into the Humber and hadn’t encountered these conditions before. They had been trying to recover the craft for over two hours and were wet through and exhausted. The HIR crew instructed the casualties to beach their boat and then sent them to get dry and warm. Whilst the Coastguard Team lit up the scene, the HIR crew winched the craft safely onto its trailer and recovered it to the parking area.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue Coxswain Steve Hall said: “Because they had always launched into the river I genuinely believe they did not realise they could beach the boat and then winch it onto their trailer. They had inadvertently put themselves in a lot of danger and this was a typical example how decision making can deteriorate with tiredness and cold. Our team was very quickly on the scene, fast and professional and I was soon able to get back home to a warm kebab!”

Primary pupils fundraise for Hornsea Inshore Rescue HORNSEA Community Primary School pupils Natasha George and Matilda Raw are working on their Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS).

The ‘Me and My World’ section involves contributing to the local community. The girls were joined by their sisters Francesca George and Betsy Raw to run a cake stall on August 6 to raise money for Hornsea Inshore Rescue (HIR). The young fundraisers raised £102 for the local independent lifeboat charity. The four girls were invited by HIR for a tour of the HIR facilities on one of their training

nights. They watched the lifeboat being launched and brought back in and were able to ask questions about the group. The organisation requires a considerable amount of money each year to keep the service going so they were grateful for the girl’s contribution.

FUNDRAISING: Francesca, Natasha, Matilda and Betsy on their fundraising cake stall

Donations to Hornsea Inshore Rescue are very welcome and can be sent direct to The Boathouse, Hornsea Burton Road, HU18 1TJ or via justgiving.com/hornseainshorerescue or via the web site or Facebook page: Hornsea Inshore Rescue.

Once circumstances improve, visitors to Hornsea Inshore Rescue and volunteers will continue to be very welcome whether they would like to serve as crew (comprehensive training is given), fundraisers or general helpers.

Rob's ramblings

Time for change

ZOOM CLASS SESSIONS BEGINNERS ART AND LEARNING GUITAR

By Rob Andrew

By Ron Bee, Chair of the Welcome Centre, Hornsea

These are now booking, and you can make your choice on our website: welcomecentrehornsea.org or visit our Facebook page.

I OBVIOUSLY don't know how the majority of readers feel about the effects on us through the pandemic, but I for one have found it not quite so pleasurable to go shopping, so we've started to buy more stuff online. Now I do concur that it’s a very simple process, the delivery is extremely efficient, and you can easily compare prices. But unless you are ordering items of a very standard nature i.e. bigname brands, we have found that probably 50% of it has to go back.

We've had a small fridge at £180 that the legs fell off immediately, so we were offered a 10% reduction, big deal. Now we are fighting for a return, which is taking some doing. A telescopic car washing brush had the thread break on the first use, not worth the time sending it back. Then a Ronnie Wood lithograph being sent from the States has, at the time of writing, taken six weeks and still not arrived. Just last week we were informed that before we can take delivery we may have to travel to the customs office to pay import duty. Maybe some will say ' didn't you read the small print?'. No I didn't. Wouldn't have bought it if I'd known.

Rant over now. Let’s turn our thoughts to a calmer frame of mind.

Many of us will have spent more time than usual twiddling our thumbs, so from my own perspective I was dreading the thought of having very little to do, fewer removals, almost no carpets to clean and all council meetings suspended for four months. Now it turns out that quite the opposite is true. I love walking and cycling, taking photos, enjoying a Peroni or two and spending time in the garden. So much so that if there is a benefactor out there that could sponsor me to do just that I'll forever be your

greatest fan, but we are allowed to dream. Aren't we? I guess that if the news reports are true we'll have our work cut out bringing people from the cities to live on the coast. No rest for the wicked!

Mobile devices are somehow becoming even smaller, year on year, packing more and more into each unit. Not only can we make calls, use them as a sat nav, spirit level, newspaper, radio, TV etc.. we also have less weight to carry around with us in our pockets and handbags. I've even heard it whispered that we may in the near future be able to have our phones in the form of a microchip under our skin. Amazing, but bear with me in the next muddled thought. When we drive a car, with a person in it takes possibly a tonne of metal to propel that person to their destination. An airbus plane weighing 580 tonnes can carry 555 people which equals to roughly, 1 tonne of machine per person.

Less so with buses typically carrying say 75 people and weighing less than 20 tonnes. What I'm saying is that tonne for tonne why do we need such a huge amount of machinery to carry such a comparatively small weight of humans. Can no one manage to come up with a way to carry a person in the same manner as our communications boffins have done with mobile phones, to save our planet's resources, reduce fuel required and create less devastation when accidents occur? I don't understand, but then everything baffles me, must be my age!

Just one brainless thought of the many that go through my brain whilst sat unoccupied on a glorious summer's day with barely a vehicle around due to our 'pandemic'. Oh well back to reality I guess, and my 20 kg push bike!!!

Hornsea Men in Sheds WE HAVE now been open two weeks since lockdown. After a slow start members are beginning to come back. They've been busy finishing projects that were started before the lockdown. One member has returned to continue a rocking horse, another has refurbished two benches for the Promenade Bowls Club they look like new.

Some members are looking to do carving, model making, hedgehog boxes, bird boxes and planters.

We are not just about making things! We attract people that are recently retired and don't know what to do with their time. We have members that are new to the area and have made new friends.

There has been interest shown in woodturning and when we have finished the electrics for that area we will be starting woodturning. We have been successful with a funding bid of £5000 with The Smile Foundation thanks to member Ron Bee. This will enable us to complete the electrics so the woodturning can start. It will also enable us to buy a polytunnel so our members can start gardening, growing both vegetables and flowers. This will help to raise funds for running costs. Alongside this we will shortly be restoring furniture to sell to help with our running costs. We are also still in talks with East Riding Foodbank to act as a distribution centre in these difficult times.

stinging nettles and old roots outside the rear of the shed have been cut back significantly

by Mark Costigan with some help. Mark described it as: “13 days of back breaking graft!” but the back and front are now looking a lot less overgrown.

At the time of writing some members have been busy taking the hoarding boards down around the leisure centre ready for their opening. The boards will be very useful at the shed to clad the outside walls of the building to weatherproof it and help keep it warmer in the winter months.

Anyone interested in joining Hornsea Men in Sheds or who just wants more information can call into the shed at a social distance. Our opening times are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 4pm. For any questions please email hornseameninsheds@gmail.com or ring Alan on 07710 309007.

‘A True Gentleman’ Malcolm Shields (1928-2020) WELL known and loved in Hornsea, his second home in the latter years, Malcolm Shields was partner to Wendy Loncaster, a long-term resident of the town.

Malcolm had a reputation for robust humour and

email: editor@hornseacommunitynews.uk

zest for life, thus energising any gathering of friends. He was also one who wore his abilities lightly, speaking with a natural courtesy, warmth and kindness.

An expert on marine art, giving talks on

numismatics, Malcolm encouraged and sponsored artists and writers. He was an honoured member of the MICE (Men in Charitable Endeavour), and typically he organised a variety show when Castle Hill Burns Unit needed his help, for which he hired Hull`s New Theatre, no less. He raised the dizzy sum of £22,000 in a single night. However, when thanks to him were being expressed, he was, as usual on these occasions, hiding behind a pillar!

At the very first meeting of Malcolm and Wendy in the early nineties, he sponsored her first book. Much later, from when they became partners, 17 years ago, the two thoroughly enjoyed researching and writing together.

They delivered to the community two artist biographies: "Walter Goodin - Above All, the Sky" in 2008, and "Fred Elwell RA A Life in Art", 2014, available now at The Townhouse.

Malcolm is sadly missed by us all.

Coasting along

By Justin Furapaddle WHERE to start is the question. I think outer space is as good as anything although I have often wondered what the fascination is with trying (unsuccessfully up to now,) to find evidence of other life in our known universe.

What brings this to mind is that many countries seem to judge their credentials on how many rockets they can propel to the moon, and other planets in our solar system.

One of the most recent news items is of a rocket that will again probe the surface of the moon by using a ‘caterpillar’ to collect rocks and soil and then have these samples brought back to earth for analysis. Avoiding the obvious ‘pun’ of ‘soil to earth’ I wonder have we not got enough rocks of our own without collecting more?

Personally, I would have looked to save on the vast expense involved in this endeavour by hiring Clugston Construction to do the work.

With their experience of moving earth and soil about in large quantities they would surely do the job more cheaply and already have a copious supply of yellow jackets to wear over the space suits and plenty of diversion signs pointing the way to Saturn in case there is a build up of traffic. Holding the inter galactic traffic cones static could be a problem because of the lack of gravity but temporary traffic lights could compensate for this.

Although I cannot recall the exact details I vaguely recall as a schoolboy years and years ago a rather excited news item of the discovery of an alleged speck of life being found on some space rock deposit that had landed on earth by some vague means , perhaps part of a meteor.

Anyway this ‘life’ was so small it was unable to be seen by the human eye and it did not last long before falling out of favour despite all the fanfare that had accompanied its discovery. Not unlike the “Two Ronnies Sketch” about a piece of rare moon rock that turned out to be a piece of coal.

It is a sobering thought that there is probably more life in a jam jar full of Hornsea Mere

water than in the rest of our Universe.

I do not know if it is an after effect of the ‘lock down’ but I am beginning to be convinced that we are living in the silly season.

For example the news that as part of the process of ascertaining who is entering the country from ‘abroad’ there is now a requirement that foreign agents will have to register in future. I could be in a minority here but there is an obvious flaw somewhere. Aren’t foreign agents meant to be secretive? I can envisage the scenario where the telephone operator at MI5 looks up from their computer to say, “We’ve got another one here boss.

He says his name is Ivanovitch Moscowvy and that he is here to visit one of our Cathedrals, what shall I do with him?” to which the boss replies “Put him in the register next to that bloke Putin and don’t ask silly questions.”

About secrecy and spying I have long been suspicious of ‘Alexa’s’ in our homes. Along with Smart Meters they are an invasion of privacy and can supposedly ‘eavesdrop’ on conversations that come within their earshot, such as bank account details and love affairs. Luckily, an antidote to Alexa (is it ‘he’ or more probably a ‘she’?) has been discovered quite by chance and is proving to be fool proof. The secret is evidently to always speak when in the vicinity of Alexa in a ‘Brummie accent.’ This accent has the greatest chance of confusing this latest piece of home technology. Should you not be able to mimic the Brummie accent then one from Cardiff or Glasgow stands a decent chance of successfully having your conversations kept to yourselves. This brings the question of how East Yorkshire ‘speak’ would fare.

Well it's not good news because we are living near to one of the ‘best’ accents to be accurately defined by Alexa with Lincoln in the top three. I guess a broad Yorkshire accent would be a useful ploy to practice and the ‘Ee by Gumms’ of this world could soon make a popular comeback. Get

practising if you want to preserve your own home Enigma and guilty secrets.

We hear and read a lot about discrimination and treating everyone equally, so I question as to why there are notices on some of our roadside verges which in large letters state ‘Do not give thieves a chance. Lock your valuables out of sight.”

This is plainly discriminatory to thieves and criminals. It occurs to me that if an estimate of 10 % of cars that pass these signs are driven by someone of criminal intent or even an ‘opportunist’ thief then they should have their own signs so as to stop this blatant discrimination.

Something along the lines of: ‘Thieves, do not miss out, make sure you check parked cars for insecure doors, it could be your next pay day.”

On a more serious note I hope my reader will excuse me if I make a reference to VJ Day. It is a time for reflection for many people and in my case on the life of one of my relatives, of a previous generation. He was one of those thousands of men who were forced to work on the infamous ‘Railway of Death’ in Burma following the capitulation to the Japanese at Singapore.

Like many other men who endured great suffering and witnessed many deaths among their army friends he rarely spoke of those years of captivity and brutality. Indeed, I never heard him say anything in condemnation of his Japanese captors except his sole protest of never buying anything that showed the marks of having been:‘Made in Japan.’

Neither would he ever eat rice.

He did tell me that on being liberated they were examined by a Doctor who told them that their lives had been shortened by ten years because of their poor medical condition. My relative died at 60. Ten years short of his biblical ‘Three score and ten.’

Perhaps we can all reflect on that emotional saying appertaining to that theatre of the war: “When you go home, tell them of us and say, ‘For your tomorrows these gave their today.’

Letting go: the last goodbye

by Karen Whitchurch On a bright July day, Monty left us. There were lumps and bumps, his great heart was failing, making him puff and pant and struggle to keep up. Our once tanklike Giant Schnauzer had grown skinny and shrunken. Walks had been reduced to little more than plods round the cool, shady perimeters of the park, evenings spent snoring in front of the telly with his family around him.

He’d had a good life, a good innings. He was tired. It was time, yes, yes, we knew all that, as did the lovely vet who told it like it was. ‘We could keep him going on medication, but, it’s quality of life. If he was my dog...’ And isn’t that exactly what you want to hear? Confirmation that you’re doing the right thing, the best thing, the only thing? Of course it is. It’s the last, and the hardest thing we can do for them...but none of that stops it hurting.

LIFELONG FRIENDS Twelve years is a reasonable span for a large dog. It’s also far too short a time for those who loved him, and nothing can change that because, to paraphrase Rudyard Kipling, ‘We gave our hearts to a dog to tear.’

Monty came to us aged three, though we’d known him from puppyhood, and he fitted right in, funny, laid-back and utterly loyal. From day one, he took over guard-duties, positioning himself in doorways or stairlandings in order to watch over us. Each of the seven grandchildren was welcomed and protected as a full pack-member. Brave, stubborn and fearless, he would never pick a fight, but one perceived insult, and he’d be straight in! Monty held his own Grudge-List, never forgiving or forgetting anything he construed as canine bad manners.

TRAINING THE WHIPPERSNAPPERS Monty loved Obedience training. Learning new things (you can teach an old dog new stuff!) or showing off his accomplishments, socialising with his friends (canine and human) and reassuring puppies and rescued dogs, who all instinctively trusted him: He just gave off good vibes. And most of all, he was an absolute gentleman. When we’re able to resume our classes, his solid, benign presence will be terribly missed.

SAYING GOODBYE Monty’s pack was with him when he left: being there helped Arlo understand and accept that he wouldn’t be coming back. He didn’t once look for him, but he did grieve, as dogs do. He was lost, flat, uninterested, and no wonder, having lost his lifelong guide and mentor.

Cuddles, extra walks and fun training have helped him bounce back, but certain things have lost their savour. Dinner tastes much better when you’re in competition, and where’s the fun in shouting at the postman or chasing next door’s cat on your own? In short, dogs need their fellow creatures. Arlo is learning to be his own dog, but, when the time is right, we’ll find him a friend...a new partner, not a replacement.

There’s a polished wooden box on the dining-table with his name engraved on it. Maybe all we have left of Monty, except that it isn’t. He gave us so much and left so many fun memories, along with a lifetime’s-worth of videos and photographs.

Monty, you tore my heart, but I don’t regret one single moment. You were a great dog, and you’ll be a hard act to follow.

Covid-19 and Obedience-training: Under current KC and village hall safety regulations, we shall be unable to hold classes for the foreseeable future. We’re sorry to let down our regulars, our returners and, of course, our puppies. For updates, please visit: www.hornseadogowners.co.uk

and sculptures. We meet three of the exhibitors ahead of the event.

One of the exhibitors is local school teacher and Hornsea resident Helen Burton. Helen has been a teacher at Hornsea Primary School for 19 years and is currently teaching music.

Helen studied Art at The University of Lincoln before starting her teaching career.

She also makes jewellery and accessories from polymer clay mounts. Each piece is individual and features a dot hence her brand name ‘Dot’. Helen’s work is displayed at both

as mature students in 2005 and have exhibited work nationwide, from Potfest in Cumbria to the Hillier gardens in Hampshire and numerous galleries in between. A brief return to their native Hebden Bridge in 2019 culminated in a major solo exhibition at the Artsmill last September.

They are now settled in Hornsea. Much of the work in kiln formed glass, ceramic and steel reflects the beautiful colours and forms seen in Hornsea and the surrounding coastal areas. Stan's larger sculptures in steel and ceramic will be on display along with stoneware planters, including the ever popular 'jellymould' forms.

More info at www.coastalconnections.co. uk or Facebook Coastal Connections Hornsea.

Lizzie from Elizabeth Grace Floral Design is looking forward to showcasing her

floral talents at the fair.

Lizzie developed a keen interest in all things flowery from an early age, largely through her Grandmother.

Lizzie said: “Some of my earliest memories are of times spent in her wild and beautiful garden having endless chats about roses and forget-me-nots.

Growing up my interest in flowers never faded and so I decided to study Floristry at Askham Bryan College in York. I was fortunate to be able to combine this with gaining valuable and varied experience with some of the best local florists.” A few years later with a distinction in Floristry, a growing list of happy customers and a newly converted floral studio in her garden Elizabeth Grace Floral Design was born. Lizzie added: “I am so lucky to do my job, every day I work with beautiful flowers whilst meeting fantastic people.”

LOCAL residents are being encouraged to give their local area a clean up this September.

Keep Britain Tidy are running a Great British September Clean between September 11 and 27. The organisation run an annual Great British Spring Clean event with the aim of bringing communities together to clean up their local environment and have fun, whilst staying safe at all times. However, given the national lockdown they had to postpone the Great British Spring Clean until September.

The event had been noticed by Jay Norris, 10, from Hornsea. Jay has been busy picking litter in the town in aid of Hornsea Inshore Rescue. Jay has been beach cleaning and litter picking for the last three years. He was inspired to start cleaning the beach after he did a project at school about litter while learning about the environment and plastic.

He was keen to get local people involved with cleaning their own streets.

Hornsea Urban Gardeners (HUG) have praised Jay’s idea and this has been extended to tidying in general.

HUG have provided some examples of some of their volunteer’s recent projects to inspire what could be

achieved in peoples own areas. We would love to see before and after photographs of any litter picking or tidying you carry out as part of the 10 day event please send them to: hornseacommunitynews@ho tmail.com In sending in the images you are agreeing to have them printed in the newspaper and possibly on our social media channels and website. Remember to follow the latest guidance from the Government on Coronavirus and remain socially distanced from others.

June Greensmith from HUG said: “There are so many things that can improve an area. You just have to look, think and have a bit of drive to want to improve where you live.

Sweep ups are a great way to get children involved too.

The aim is to improve what is already there by under planting, clearing or cleaning We cannot remove or change street furniture but we can make it look better. Under planting street signs is a great way to make your street look special. Keep planting low so as not to cause obstruction or restrict a view. Choose low maintenance plants to make it easy for you to keep the signs tidy. If unsure you can always call me for advise.”

Hornsea Hornsea Author releases second novel ‘New Arrivals in Reighton’ Music Society update LIKE MANY organisations, Hornsea Music Society has been left in a quandary about the nuts and bolts of life. For many years, the annual general meeting has been held in March, after the final concert of the season. In theory, this works well, because a lot of members are there anyway so they don’t have to find an extra slot in the diary to cope with the administration. However, if the performers on that evening over-run, or if there is a lot to discuss, it can make for a late finish. And getting the accounts organised in a short amount of time may be a standard activity for listed companies, but for a charity run by volunteers it is not so easy.

At the annual general meeting in 2019, following the March concert as usual, it was suggested that the meeting be moved to a new time.

September was agreed as a long term goal, but the constitution has a limit of the amount of time that can elapse between planned meetings. The constitution is perfectly serviceable, and the committee saw no reason to change it. Consequently, it was planned to hold an afternoon meeting in June 2020. The committee had visions of a pleasant afternoon tea, perhaps with a little light piano music in the background. The transition could then be completed with a meeting in September 2021, establishing the new pattern without disrupting the constitution.

Do you remember the times when we were all planning things to do in the summer of 2020? Before we got to the times when your bin went out more than you did?

Covid19 has lead many organisations to postpone their AGMs until times are more settled. After some discussion, and addressing a few technical issues, it has been decided to attempt the Music Society AGM by post and email. The agenda will be circulated soon on-line and by post to those without on-line facilities, now that Secretary Ruby Seager has managed to track down a new printer cartridge.

Chairman, Roberta Loades, is keeping in touch with the artists who were booked to give concerts, and she hopes that concerts will resume as soon as it is safe to do so. At the moment, this is looking no sooner than around March 2021.

READERS of Joy Stonehouse's first book ‘Witch-bottles and Windlestraws’, will welcome the publication of the next in the series.

As well as reconnecting with characters from book one, readers can expect to find a similar tapestry of social history, folklore, drama and humour - all set in the early 18th century in Reighton, near Filey.

When two new farmhands arrive at Uphall, there will be consequences.

The mistress, Dorothy Jordan, soon sums up the new girl - 'She 'as trouble written right across 'er fore'ead.'

Courtships and rivalries are played out during a ploughing match, a midsummer bonfire and all the traditional festivities of Christmas. One emerging character is the young daughter of William and Mary Jordan: spirited and with a huge appetite for life, her escapades divide opinions on

how a girl should be reared.

In writing the book, Joy has received encouragement and support from the Hornsea Writers' Group. Unable to meet in person due to Covid 19, members have continued to hold weekly meetings online where they critique each other's work. The design for the cover of book

two shows an original watercolour, 'Sunrise at Speeton’, by Pam Williams, a member of Hornsea Art Society.

The book in paperback can be ordered from Amazon, and a Kindle edition will appear shortly. Copies are now available at The Townhouse (next to the Parish Hall), Newbegin, Hornsea, and at The Summerhouse down at the Mere. You can meet the author for a signed copy at the Artist Garden Fair to be held at The Townhouse on Saturday, August 29 from 10am to 4pm.

HORNSEA RESIDENT’S HAIR CUT FUNDRAISER

HORNSEA resident Greg Sharp is raising money for The Little Princess Trust after growing his hair for the last three years. Greg last had a hair cut on September 13, 2017 and this year on September 13 he will have it cut again to remove three years of growth which he will donate to the charity who provide wigs to children with cancer to restore their confidence and identity.

He is also raising funds for the charity having raised over £300 already. Greg has been supported by several businesses including Dave and Ryan from the New Inn, Stacy from Designs on You, Anna at The Townhouse, Sophie from The Beauty Room in York, Gail from Chip n Gails, Mike and Lucy

Wright from Copper Moon and Dawn and Simon at The Marine. Greg has been in Switzerland for part of the three years since his last hair cut and with a hair cut there costing around £90 it’s been an extra incentive to grow his locks!

You can donate online at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising /gregshair The hair cut will take place on September 13 at 2pm in The New Inn carpark by Julie Goodlass from Salon Cheveaux. There will also be a raffle at the event to raise additional funds.

Taking time for self-care THE OUTBREAK has taken its toll on all of us, on our life, and economy. You may wonder how can we look after our emotional wellbeing at such at time, especially when we are social distancing?

Mental and physical health are very important, never be afraid to ask for help, sometimes we all need help. We live in an excellent community and have very good resources. Try and keep learning new things. This is a great time to take opportunities to learn new crafts or look for free online courses. Keeping active is another way of freeing one’s mind. I have seen a lot of people on bikes and walking of late, having a regular walk is both physically and

mentally good for ourselves. We should all try and help one another and if you feel you can, contact others. This may be checking in on family and friends by the phone text or even writing letters.

Remember we are all in this together ask how others may be feeling, never judge.

I am still doing my grief and bereavement counselling which is keeping me busy along with my book!

RECORD OF AMY JOHNSON’S FLIGHTS GOES ONLINE IN NEW TRANSCRIPT OF HER LOGBOOK A complete transcript of Amy Johnson’s pilot’s logbook has just been made available for the first time on the East Riding Museums website.

Covering the years from when Amy was learning to fly until just before the outbreak of the Second World War (1928-1938), the log book includes details of all of Amy’s famous record breaking flights, including her solo flight to Australia in 1930 – the first by a female pilot.

The original document is in Sewerby Hall and is currently on display as part of the commemoration of the 90th anniversary of Amy’s historic flight to Darwin. Visitors can see the real thing in the West Wing Gallery, along with objects presented to Amy in Australia

and at home to celebrate.

Said Dr. David Marchant, museums registrar with the council: “Amy’s log book includes lots of fascinating details, including the names of places she flew to, which aircraft she was in, flying times and various additional comments such as the weather and the names of passengers.

“It’s certainly been a challenge to transcribe, as Amy’s handwriting is quite hard to decipher at times. The document was something she had to fill in as a qualified pilot, but the way she completed it says a lot about her personality, I think. It also reveals her love of flying for its own sake – she often puts ‘joy riding’ down as the reason for a flight. At times

Woodcarver returns to Sewerby Hall and Gardens WOODCARVER Allen Stichler has returned to Sewerby Hall and Gardens in August to start work on eight logs from a fallen beech tree near the putting green. The completed logs will all be on a wildlife theme.

This is the latest phase of Allen’s work on the site; he has already transformed the wood from the monkey puzzle tree which fell in the severe weather of March, 2018 into 13 new wood panels, which are on display in the gardens at the venue, with one more panel to complete.

The overall completion of the project has been delayed by the coronavirus restrictions earlier in the year.

Allen is an artist based in North Lincolnshire who specialises in unique handcarved wood sculptures.

Facility manager Marie Gascoigne said: “I am

delighted that Allen is now able to come back to us, to complete his job to perpetuate the memory of these trees, and at the same time to make our gardens look even more stunning.”

Allen Stichler added: “The visitors to Sewerby Hall and Gardens have been enthusiastic throughout the process and have been both supportive and interested in its development from the start; thanks to all of them and the Sewerby Hall and Gardens staff for making it all so enjoyable!”

Allen is aiming to be on site at Sewerby Hall and Gardens regularly for a few weeks, weather permitting, and visitors will be able to see him at work.

Full details of opening hours, facilities available, and admission prices are at www.sewerbyhall.co.uk

she simply ‘forgot’ to fill in the logbook for weeks at a time and then had to estimate what flying she’d done so there were no gaps. I reckon Amy was a bit bored with rules and regulations at times and found completing the record a bit of a chore!

“Over the years, we’ve had many enquiries about whether Amy had visited a particular place, so this transcript will hopefully be of benefit to those researching Amy’s flying history.

We hope to have high quality images of some of the pages of the log book added to our website in the future.”

Sewerby Hall and Gardens curator Janice Smith added: “Sewerby Hall and Gardens is unique, in that it holds the entire collection of objects and

memorabilia collected by Amy and donated to Sewerby by her father. People can also read the fascinating text “90 years since Darwin” on Sewerby Hall and Gardens’ website:

East Riding Libraries reopen for browsing EAST Riding Libraries have opened their doors for browsing. Each library has been working hard to put the systems in place to welcome customers back safely, supported by the government announcement that face coverings are compulsory in libraries.

Those wishing to browse books will be allocated a limited time in the library, and may have to queue based on the number of customers in the building, which will vary from site to site based on size. All customers will be asked for test and trace details upon entering, and required to wear a face covering, sanitize hands and adhere to social distancing rules. For full safety guidelines, please visit https://eastridingculture.co.uk/corona virus Customers will still drop off books into the sacks at the entrance of the library, as opposed to using the selfservice machines, to ensure that all books continue to be quarantined for 72 hours, then cleaned before being placed back on the shelves.

For those customers who prefer to continue ordering books through the online catalogue, this will still be available by visiting https://www.library.eastriding.gov.uk and logging in to your library account.

East Riding Libraries teams have put together lots of suggestions and collections in the ‘Read’ area of the catalogue. There are also thousands of eBooks and eAudiobooks, also free to download with your library card.

New Green Homes Grant to give homeowners up to £5,000 in vouchers HOMEOWNERS can benefit from up to £5000 of vouchers towards making their homes greener from this month. The aim of the Government scheme is to make homes more energy efficient. Eligible homeowners can use the vouchers to pay towards environmentally friendly improvements including insulation or double glazing to replace single glazing.

Energy bills to fall for 11m, but don't be fooled into thinking you're on a decent rate, warns MoneySavingExpert On AUGUST 7 the energy regulator Ofgem announced that the price cap for standard tariffs will be dropping by £84 per year to £1,042 per year on average for someone with typical usage from October 1.

Guy Anker, deputy editor of MoneySavingExpert.com, said: “It’s important this price cut doesn’t lull people into a false sense of security that they’re paying a good

price for their energy. The 11 million households on a standard tariff are almost certainly massively overpaying now, and will continue to massively overpay even after the cut.

“The cheapest deals on the market are an average £250+/year cheaper than the new standard rates, and as we're using more energy than usual as we’re at home more, it's a key bill to sort

out now. So don’t just sit back and pay these rip-off rates – see if you can switch to a cheaper deal now.

“And switching is easy. No one needs to visit your home (unless you want a smart meter) and you won't be left without gas or electricity. All that changes is price and which firm bills you for your energy.”

Plastic Free Hornsea Group and friend’s news by Beachcomber AS MANY of you might already be aware, our shiny new Beach Hut (outside the Marine Hotel) has moved next door to Number 5 to enable ERYC social distance measures. We took this opportunity to give the Hut a new look and name.

Our Hut is now an Eco Hub which collaborates all our projects under one roof. The Hut’s main purpose is to showcase to residents and visitors that Hornsea is trying to make a change. It also allows other volunteers to borrow litter picking equipment and have a go themselves. These can be individuals or families visiting during the opening hours (Sundays 10am onwards, weather permitting), or companies wanting to use the Hut and equipment for their corporate team building events, when permissible, by prior arrangement through the Plastic Free Hornsea Facebook page.

We are now starting to add other bits inside the Eco Hub to showcase this and other work we do in surrounding areas.

Part of our work is getting people active and enjoying nature on the water. We have a Paddle Group that regularly meets at Dacre Lake at Brandesburton. This is

store using ornate stones that we had in our garden. We wanted a dry-stone wall effect so built it without cement first but as we didn’t want too much water getting in we decided to mortar the inside of the walls to seal it. Once the walls were dry we laid two large paving slabs to close the hole up. We then made a frame from left over fencing slats which was then filled with a layer of cement to level the slabs ready for tiling. We removed the former framework and were left with a solid concrete top which overhangs the wall, again to reduce water getting into the wood store. We then tiled the concrete top using donated tiles that were removed from my auntie’s kitchen. We built a frame from waste wood and pallets and made a mold using a large yoga ball for the main body of the oven, and waste materials to construct the archway. Once the mold was built we covered it in cling film (ecobricked later), positioned the chimney, which is a piece of terracotta pipe we found on Hornsea How to make your own Pizza Oven beach, and then started covering the mold with a perlite and white cement mix (ratio As someone passionate about caring for the environment, Tom and his wife, Emma, 5:1).

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hornsea and District Lions, Tesco and Ralph Toogood Kitchens for their donations and continued support. Also thank you to all the volunteers who give up their Sundays to help out in the Eco Hub. One of our members is the talented artist, Tom Everard. Some of you may have noticed his marine-themed artwork made from plastic bottle tops that were displayed in Tesco. He also paints using a variety of media and will host an exhibition of his works at The Old Town Gallery in Bridlington for the whole of November (details to follow nearer the time). Tom is the grandson of Colin Rawson, who founded Hornsea Pottery.

CLiPS - Community and Litter Picking Services CLiPS have been busy in the community and the work this month includes: The broad pavement outside Aarondale on Eastgate crossroads has had a large amount of old, composted tree and leaf litter dug out and removed. Some weeding and sweeping to finish it off has made a pleasing difference, although the trees are relentless in their shedding!

The Tesco site is cleaned about five times weekly, but even in windy weather the weight of litter removed is down on what it used to be. The work on the section of the Trans Pennine Trail (Hornsea Rail Trail) between the viaduct and Southgate continues. The work involves removing overgrowth and encroachment from the tarmac path, and this year for social distancing, cutting back the vegetation at either side for a foot or two to provide wider room for stepping aside. By the time this paper is distributed it is hoped that the work will be complete. Then it will be time to go back to the beginning and start again! We hope you like it. Please look at our Facebook page if you do.

UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE CLEARED FROM COWDEN BEACH A SECTION of Cowden Sands beach has been closed to protect the public from the risk of unexploded ordnance. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and the British Army temporarily closed a section of Cowden Sands beach to protect the public from the risk of unexploded ordnance (UXO). This was closed until August 14 to protect the public

whilst UXO is cleared.

RAF Cowden was used as a bombing range from 1959 to 1998. Over the years it has been subject to extensive coastal erosion which leaves UXO on the beach. To date, relatively small amounts of UXO have been left and the MOD has removed it with minimum disruption to public access to the beach.

However, recent erosion has revealed UXO which is now appearing on the beach more frequently and in larger amounts. As MOD’s first priority is to ensure the public’s safety, they have undertaken the UXO clearance programme as a matter of urgency. Signs and red flags warned the visiting public which area of the beach was closed.

Clare Hetherington, DIO’s Principal Estate Surveyor for the North said: “Due to recent weather and tidal events, a significantly larger amount of unexploded ordnance has been uncovered on Cowden Sands.

We have worked with the Crown Estate and local councils to close the beach. Unexploded ordnance is dangerous and should not be touched or

removed as it can cause serious injury. This temporary partial closure, whilst regrettable, is needed to protect the public.”

It is an offence to pick up military materials from the beach under the RAF Cowden Byelaws 1977. If you find UXO or witness a member of the public handling UXO, please do not attempt to move it and contact 999.

CCG to hold its first ever virtual Annual General Meeting NHS EAST Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday 15 September 2020 from 5pm. They are extending an invitation to patients and the public to join them online as the meeting takes place virtually for the first time.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the CCG will not be holding the meeting in a public venue this year as they normally would, but instead will live stream the event through their Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Anne Jeffreys, Clinical Chairperson said “With many public events being cancelled this year due to the Covid-19

pandemic we are delighted that we are able to invite colleagues and members of the public to join us for our AGM, albeit virtually.

“Whilst we would love to be able to welcome local residents in person, we feel that holding the meeting virtually is the best option for this year. Not only will this help to keep people safe, it will allow a larger audience to attend and remove the need for travel across our large geography.”

Paula South, Interim Chief Operating Officer said “Although we are holding our AGM in a different way this year, we will still be following a familiar agenda. We will be looking back at some of our key

highlights and achievements from the previous year, as well as focussing on the future, including the response and recovery to Covid-19. We will also discuss our financial performance from 2019/20, looking at how and where our budget has been spent.

“Just like previous years, we are offering the opportunity for members of the public to ask us questions which we will answer at our AGM. However, because of the way we are holding the event this year we are asking for all questions to be submitted beforehand by emailing ERYCCG.ContactUS@nhs.net. All of the questions and answers will be published on our website following the AGM,

including any further questions we receive based on the content of the event.”

NHS East Riding of Yorkshire’s AGM is set to be streamed via their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/EastRidingCCG/live) and YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/channel/UCj4BTjPLES28vRxlx81vnw) on Tuesday, September 15 from 5pm.

Femoral nerve entrapment THIS HAPPENS when the Femoral nerve is pinched/trapped somewhere along its path.

The most common place to trap the nerve is at your spine. When this happens you will experience pain, numbness, and weakness in the front of your thigh.

Hopefully, you will be among the lucky ones with the problem going away by itself in a couple of weeks but, there are many cases where therapy and/or medication is required to improve the symptoms if it lasts longer than a fortnight or is too painful and restricting to cope.

WHAT AND WHERE IS THE FEMORAL NERVE? Starting at the spine, the femoral nerve runs down through your hip and into the front of your leg. As it passes near your groin, it is responsible for controlling all the muscles that straighten your legs and moving your hips. The area surrounding the femoral nerve is known as the Femoral Triangle where the Inguinal Ligament and Iliopsoas Tendon are present which both can cause an impingement of the nerve.

If you didn’t have the femoral nerve you

wouldn’t have any sensation in your thighs nor the lower leg. When damaged you will lose the ability to walk properly and the sense of feeling in your leg and foot.

HOW IS IT TRAPPED? As I said earlier, the most common place to trap the nerve is at the spine and the number one cause here is due to a prolapse at the L2/3 or L3/4 vertebra. When the prolapse or bulge happens, it will travel backwards and hit a branch of the nerve.

Some of the other causes are due to: ● A degenerative change somewhere around your spine which will narrow the foramen (the hollow in the vertebrae which creates a passage for the nerves to run through) resulting in the nerve being pinched at its exit ● Arthritis in your hip will also cause a pinching of the femoral nerve and pain down the front of the leg will be present ● Other causes, although less common, are usually due to something ‘growing’ inside your body which will decrease the space needed for the nerve to pass through freely

determine the extent of PAD. This is done by a noninvasive vascular examination.

Firstly, the podiatrist will ask about your personal and family medical histories to determine the effect of this history on lower-limb health, function, and performance.

Your legs and feet are examined for signs and symptoms such as: ● shiny skin ● brittle toenails ● hair loss on your legs and feet ● leg ulcers Following this ● Foot pulses and palpations. ● Doppler waveform is carried out. ● Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) assessment at rest and after exercise if indicated.

SYMPTOMS Your GP can test for peripheral arterial disease if Symptoms vary, muscle ache or cramping in your you have symptoms. Yet, the condition is often calf triggered by activity such as walking but under diagnosed, mostly because up to half of PAD disappears after a few minutes of rest is the main patients are asymptomatic. symptom. This symptom is called intermittent claudication. Some people will get pain in their feet With this in mind. If you have any of the characteristics, lifestyle traits or medical conditions even when they're not moving. This is because the that leave you at risk of peripheral arterial disease. amount of blood able to go down the leg is not You may benefit from a vascular assessment with a enough. However, many people do not suffer any podiatrist. symptoms, and intermittent claudication, is only present in a fraction of patients. This factor attributes to the condition often being underdiagnosed.

WHAT IS IT Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a circulatory condition that affects blood flow to the legs and feet. When blood flows through the arteries it leaves behind fatty deposits (known as plaque) which can stick to the artery walls. Over time this plaque build-up, sometimes known as 'furring up of your arteries' causes the inside of the artery to narrow, restricting blood flow to your limbs - usually the legs.

If you have PAD it is likely that the same process will be happening in other arteries (atherosclerosis).

This condition may be reducing blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs.

WHO IS AT RISK? People who smoke, people who have a smoking history or have diabetes are at the greatest risk of developing peripheral artery disease.

Other risk factors include: ● Obesity ● High blood pressure ● High cholesterol ● Lack of exercise ● Aged 60+ PREVENTING PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE The best way to prevent PAD or reduce it getting worse is through a healthy lifestyle and medication.

Exercising regularly and not smoking can help prevent this. It is also important to: ● Eat a healthy balanced diet. Keep your blood sugar in good control if you have diabetes. ● Maintain a healthy weight. ● Lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

If the condition is severe, your GP may refer you to a vascular consultant for other treatments.

TESTING FOR PAD Podiatrists are specially trained to evaluate the vascular status of your lower limb. They can

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A TRAPPED NERVE? Firstly, you will need to identify what the cause is and this can be done during an appointment with your GP or here at the clinic. Common signs to watch out for are: ● Back pain ● Stiffness in the hip joint ● Difficulty getting out of bed ● Numbness or a loss of sensation in the front of your leg ● Problems when walking Medication may be prescribed by your doctor or they might suggest a corticosteroid injection to reduce the swelling and inflammation around the area.

If you visit the clinic, we will go through the series of tests to find out where the root of the problem is. Through a series of treatments we will reduce the symptoms experienced in the leg by ‘freeing’ the nerve from your spine and prescribe bespoke rehabilitative exercises helping you to rebuild the strength and stretch out the muscles of the affected area(s) so that you can regain your range of movement.

TOP TIPS ● Avoid sitting or standing still for long periods. Try to move at least every 10-15 minutes which will help the blood to flow ● If you are taking part in any sport or activity,

make sure you warm up and dynamically stretch out the muscles you are about to use ● If you think you are experiencing any symptoms, do not wait any longer than two weeks before getting help – long-term damage may be caused to the nerve and can be irreversible ● If you are diabetic, then it is advisable to control your blood sugars which may prevent this condition from happening Again can I please point out that for the foreseeable future it won’t be possible for you to just pop into the clinic for a chat so if you don’t have an appointment, please feel free to get hold of me via phone, email or via Messenger or WhatsApp. Thanks and stay safe

On the bank – Tansterne Fishery By Ron Bulless AS I PUT this article together I have left a few anglers on the bank getting more than a tan – please remember to bring sunscreen when the very hot days arrive and keep taking fluids as you can be out there for 8 -10 hours.

The welfare of the fish is paramount and most of the lakes and ponds suffer with algae and oxygen problems at this time of year. At Tansterne we have the aerator running to introduce oxygen into the water and we have now also introduced the blue dye that kills off the algae and reflects some of the sunlight to preserve the oxygen and water temperature.

If you look after your fish – your fish will look after you and it is also true of the anglers – sadly not all anglers treat the ponds as they would like to find them and we often find rubbish on the pond as well as broken nets. If you are fishing at any pond please police it as your own and bring any bad behaviour to the owner’s attention.

So, what is happening and what are the anglers catching on? – I have mentioned on

previous occasions about the size of the bait on your hook and fisheries up and down the country are reporting lower weights – so we keep advising smaller baits. On Monday I was on the pond and I saw two new anglers fishing hair rigged corn with meat on the hook – I advised just one piece of corn or a small piece of meat and the bare hook and within no time they were catching carp.

I have given a few lessons in the last two weeks and the delight when Charlie having his first lesson landed a 2lb 8oz barbel amongst his 28lb 08oz net and his dad having fished for decades and never had a barbel. Next cam Zak and we fished the cut next to the little island on top two only and he had 35Lb in 2 ½ hours all on banded pellet, It was nice to welcome someone of my own age for a lesson today and this was an angler who had fished matches on the rivers and canals but never on the pole and he wanted to get back into match fishing at a local venue for the banter as well as the fishing.

The very hot conditions and the falling air pressure was not a

good sign but I set the peg up and put on a 6m red pellet – shipped out and caught a 3lb ghost carp – o k I thought we are in for a good day but that was the last carp we saw for 3 hours. As this guy was an ex match angler, he knew that the conditions play a part so we switched to soft 4m both Sonu and Bait tech. Roach and Bream were the order of the day and teaching him how to hit the bites – how to use a cad pot to feed and how to fish two plus three on the pole had him wanting to fish our matches.

Earlier in the week I was at the wrong end of plenty of banter as I fished with my daughter ( she has only fished twice before ) so I plumbed up for her and fed the shallows – I was further round in deeper water and I watched as she landed carp after carp whilst my float was there without any threat of a bite.

I did manage to get a 14lb common on soft 6m pellet and a few more fish but after a few hours we weighed in and she had 52lb I am not saying what I had but I did not win and everyone on the pond knew it and I suffered many a witty

comment for the next few hours.

So, my tips for the coming weeks are .3 or .4 gram floats with one number eight under the float – a bulk rig of number tens at the hook length or lower and a dropper 4-5 inch from your hook. I have been fishing size 14 and 16 hooks with both soft and banded pellets as well as some soft white cheese slice. Other anglers have been catching on maggots but they get plagued by the small perch. I have been feeding 2.3 mill skrettings but only in the smallest cadpot and not on every put in.

The match weights have been winning with 97lb twice 121lb and as low as 72lb and as high as 161lb – at the moment no two days are the same but I noticed today opposite me two regulars started catching on very small meat and sweetcorn has produced a few fish.

Remember, if you are at our fishery please stop and ask our advice – there is no question too stupid and with a little advice form us you might just catch more fish Tight lines - Ron Bulless

Hornsea District Walking Club Report ONCE AGAIN this report features some 'favourite walks' from Club members, plus details of some COVID-secure walks completed by our members walking in small groups as per the latest Government guidelines.

This month Christine Mitchell describes one of her favourite walks on the Yorkshire Wolds.

She writes: "One of my favourite walks is from Wayrham Picnic Site, just off the A166 road. It is about 9 miles along the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. This walk involves crossing the busy A166, some quiet road walking and quite a few downs and ups!

For me it is well worth it for the views, the lovely deep dales and the varied terrain."

Chris describes the route in some detail: "From the picnic site, a footpath by a small wood leads across fields to a minor road and then along a track to the top of the appropriately named Deep Dale. The view here on an Autumn day is stunning with the colours of beech and larch woodland bordering the dale. The descent into the dale is very steep, so care is needed. Once down the only way out is up and this up is a steady climb bringing you to another minor road. Crossing over you reach the edge of the Wolds escarpment above Bishop Wilton, with magnificent views across the Vale of York. Down past a wood path turns right above Worsendale, then joins a minor road which meets the A166 at the top of Garrowby Hill.

Cross over onto a track passing more woodland to a gate opening onto Megdale Brow.

The view opens out with the valley of South Wold Dale directly below, and the settlements of Painsthorpe, Uncleby, and Kirby Underdale nestling in the folds of the landscape. “Continue down the track to the peaceful village of Kirby Underdale. Turn right through the village and take the path down to the church. In spring the bank below the church is covered with a succession of snowdrops, daffodils, and primroses. In the graveyard are the tombs of members of the Halifax family of Garrowby Hall.

Now follows another steady climb up a minor road to a Tjunction at the top on Painsthorpe Wold. A track opposite takes you past Painsthorpe Wold Farm then down through Worm Dale to a footpath junction by a 'whorl' of

earthworks. This is 1 called 'Waves and Time' and is one of several Artworks on the Yorkshire Wolds Way. This encounter with the Wolds Way is brief as this walk turns to head through Bradeham Dale and then Wayrham Dale bringing you up to the A166 again. Cross with 2 care and drop down through trees to the picnic site."

Next, Some of Susie Watson's favourite walks have been around Esk Dale near Whitby. Over the years the Club has walked sections of the Esk Valley Way by catching a train along 3 the picturesque valley from one station to another and walking back. One such occasion, in June 2013, Susie remembers very well: "We had caught the train from Sleights to Lealholm and set off on the 10mile walk back by the River Esk on very pleasant Sunday morning. The walk was 4 going well, we paused for photos on Beggar's Bridge, Glaisdale, and pressed on towards Egton Bridge. A rumble of thunder made us glance back to see the dark clouds of an advancing storm. By Egton Bridge the rain had started. Some tried sheltering in the phone box whilst others hopped 5 around in the downpour trying to put on waterproof jackets and trousers! Eventually most of us sat out the storm under a railway bridge. However I recall, some abandoned the walk in Egton Bridge, retired to the pub then caught the next train back to Sleights! Eventually the storm passed, the sun came out and soon we remaining walkers were all steaming and had dried out by the time we reached Sleights and the tearoom at the Riverside Garden Centre. Quite a day!"

Since the last issue of The Community News, many of our Club members have completed a variety of walks in groups of between two and six, keeping to the Government guidelines.

Some walks have been fairly

to discover others' lockdown walks from Leven, Beverley etc.

One such local walk was making a figure-8 by combining the Preston to Lelley walk with what would have been a 'Wednesday Evening' walk from Sproatley.

This worked out to be 10 or 12 miles depending on the starting point."

Our Walks Secretary, Arnold Underwood was in Lockton on Sunday, July 26 only to discover that by coincidence, others from the Club had beaten him there by about an hour! He goes on to say: "I discovered later that both parties' walks had set off in the same direction and returned by the same route, but in the middle they were totally different! David, Margaret, Sue, and Julie set off from Lockton at about 9.00am towards Staindale Lodge and there turned north to go in an anticlockwise loop.

This took them via the Bridestones, Malo Cross, Saltergate Bank, Levisham village and abandoned church.

Then it was up the hill into Lockton to complete a walk of about 13miles. About an hour later, me and Caroline had set off from Lockton, also down to Staindale Lodge but there we turned south to follow a clockwise route via the Fox and Rabbit, Farwath, to Levisham.

We also visited the abandoned church, followed by the steep climb through the trees back to Lockton, to finish our shorter but more hilly 7mile walk local - such as Beeford, Foston, before the other group."

Frodingham and Beverley Beck, Whilst some national Walkington and The Westwood, organisations such as the then a little further afield on the Ramblers Association have reWolds around Huggate, and introduced walking for groups of further out up on the North York up thirty in England and Wales, Moors around Goathland and they have had to reach Grosmont, and Lockton and agreement with the Levisham.

Government's Department of Joyce Davidson HDWC Digital, Culture, Media & Sport Chairperson, saysL "I've been (DCMS). Such walks must be very fortunate to have been able proven to be COVID-secure, by to meet up with two or three following a comprehensive list of other members, either to walk in rules and risk assessments in my local area around Preston or line with the current Government

COVID-19 Guidelines. But even the Ramblers Association does not insist that its volunteers should return to their roles until they feel ready to do so. A small organisation such as Hornsea District Walking Club, run entirely by volunteers is not in a position to meet such criteria. It is unfair that its committee and leaders should be expected to make group walks COVID-secure with all the responsibility that entails.

Therefore there will continue to be no official club walks for the foreseeable future.

Linking in with Arnold's comments about 'lost walkers' in last month's paper Stuart Kemp has this to say: "Many Club members, when out walking in their small groups, have noticed an increase in the number of other walkers and, whilst the majority seem to be experienced, there are a few who appear to be new to 'serious walking'. As all our Club members know, safety is paramount and as such a brief guide for novice walkers is reproduced below: 1. Plan ahead using a relevant Ordnance Survey map.

2. Check the weather forecast.

3. If walking alone, let some-one know where you are walking and your approximate time of return.

4. Wear and carry the correct clothing to suit weather conditions and make sure you can keep warm at all times.

5. Always carry gloves; hat; waterproofs; basic first aid equipment; packed lunch, spare food and plenty of water.

6. Back up navigation; as well as the correct OS Map for your walk, a compass is very handy - but learn how to use it first!

7. Finally take all your litter home or put it in a suitable bin.

Enjoy your walking.

Hornsea Golf Club Update

Autumn Trophy SATURDAY, August 8 started with a bright and breezy day for this year’s Autumn Trophy. With a full field of 84 pairs set to play the event, the morning started well. Unfortunately due to the current restrictions in place it wasn’t our usual set up here at Hornsea, scorecards were handed out in the Pro Shop and it was good to welcome you all back to Hornsea. Completed cards went straight into the competition box for processing the following day, this meant the usual anticipation of scores

coming in and the scoreboard updates were a little lost.

Speaking to many as they finished their rounds there was a real mix of playing throughout the day. As the day progressed unfortunately the weather turned, and the northly wind picked up.

As most know the wind at Hornsea can be brutal and makes the back 9 longer and tough. The last team out must have been prepared for the weather as they managed to bring the lowest score of the day in with a 62, so congratulations to them and to all the prize winners.

Many thanks to the starters, Sue, Jan, Patsy and Keith; as always they did a sterling job keeping you all in order, reminding you of our Covid-19

restrictions and I hear for some warning you of the rough! Thanks to the Clubhouse and Halfway staff for keeping the food and drink flowing throughout the day, also thanks to you all for maintaining the clubhouse Covid19 restrictions. All prize winners have been credited in the Hornsea Professional Shop as usual and monies will be held until you have the chance to come back and spend.

Yorkshire 1st Division Team Championship Huge congratulations to team Hornsea that played in the Yorkshire 1st Division Team Championships at Abbeydale in July. Coming tied second is once again a fantastic result. Thanks to Nathan for the following report: The team of Jack Maxey, Nick Raybould and Matty Raybould travelled to Abbedayle in an attempt to defend the Yorkshire Team Championship.

In exceptionally tricky conditions with firm, fast greens and plenty of tricky flag positions scoring was incredibly tough. Jack scored 72 in the morning but then followed it with a fantastic 68 which was tied for best afternoon round for a total of 140; 2 under par. Matty followed this with scores of 79 and 77 for a total of 156, a great effort considering Matty struggled with his game

throughout the day and had to rely heavily on grit and determination to see him through to the end. Finally Nick scored two very consistent rounds of 72 to total 144, looking at the scores throughout the day Nick was one of the few players in the field to score 2 very similar rounds just showing what an accomplished player he is. This left us on a total of 440.

In the individual Jack finished a fantastic equal 3rd with the winning scores coming from Hallowes +5 player Sam Bairstow scoring 68 & 69. In the defence of last year’s title the boys came in a fantastic equal 2nd just 2 shots behind winning club

possible that was down to the extremely acceptable weather. All our congratulations should go to Wayne Jenkins, Dave Gorman, Dave Furlong, and Steve Nielson as the winners of what proved to be quite a challenging competition. There were also winners of the "hidden holes" with team scores on holes 1, 6, 11 and 16 contributing to each team's total.

There were of course some notable individual achievements, beginning with Steve Hyde's magnificent 2 from the extended white tee on the 6th hole - well done Steve.

This was followed by the sight of Nige Rooks successfully fishing his ball from the dyke on the 2nd, whilst playing the 17th - I don't think that was

his drive! Then on the 18th hole Joe Ingram's drive flirted with and ricocheted off several trees in neighbouring gardens before coming to rest to the left of the pond. He then chipped over the water with all the grace, poise and finesse of a brontosaurus, crashing it into the tree beyond the green where it bounced around for several seconds before being ejected onto the green.

Sadly, he missed the putt for what would have been a majestic par.

There may also be others I am unaware of and I apologise for that.

My thanks go to Vice Captain Rob Brookes and Andy Higgins for their assistance and support. Also to Jack Rhodes for the course set up and to Paul Mayoh for his sterling work in the shop on the day. Here, I must say that Rob was responsible for the white tee on the 16th hole which fortunately came back to bite him on the bum. Thank you also to Steve

Hainsworth Park Golf Club - Ken’s Column A HUGE thank you to everyone who entered the ‘Socially Distanced Lockdown Peril on Saturday, August 8. I hope the uncertainty and possible anxiety around the rules failed to affect the enjoyment of any participants.

They certainly failed to affect the number of entrants as 29 teams took to the field - although it is

Wakefield, a massive congratulations to them. A truly fantastic effort from all 3 who I am sure all came away thinking as we all do where they could have done better but actually they should be super proud of their efforts in representing the club to such a high standard.

Lots of time and effort has gone into the performances the boys put in not only in this event but in the past and coming years so massively well done to the three of you.

Taylor for the gift of a ball which behaved impeccably and lives to fight another day! Please be assured that the next Captain’s

Hornsea Promenade Bowls Club By Neville Sansome WHAT a difference a year makes. Covid-19 has rather destroyed our plans as very early on all leagues were cancelled. We then had to cancel our main fundraiser - our Whistle Stop. All was not lost as the committee decided that as long as we followed protocols and limited the

numbers attending the green we could still have a bowling season of sorts.

Our members also supported the Club by paying their subscription which kept the Club solvent and insured (£700+).

We also managed to run some of our internal competitions and the

time so if the prospect was putting you off then now is the time to join; the team will, no doubt, persuade you as to why you will enjoy and grow to love the sport.�

All ladies 17 and over are welcome to join, 7pm Mondays at The Hollis Recreation Ground.
