First up this week was an away trip
for the Easingwold A team to play
Millers C at Haxby. The match seemed
to get off to a good start with
Easingwold racing to an early lead and
it looked like we would be heading for
a straight forward win. Unfortunately
we seemed to slip into “Lazy Sunday
Afternoon” mode a bit early and
allowed our opponents to work their
way back into the match. The mid
section of play was very even and
although we managed to keep our
noses in front throughout, it felt like
hard work. Some tactical changes at
half time allowed us to build up a bit of
a lead in the 3rd quarter which, in spite
of some “never say die” netball from
Millers, we managed to hang on and
win 28-20.
Later in the week Easingwold B
faced a difficult away trip to Hopgrove
where they met a team in determined
mood. In a tough, rough match
Easingwold had to work hard and
maintain concentration to assert their
superiority. Credit to the team , this is
what they did and got their reward
with a good 26-16 away win.

New head chef
makes his Mark at
the Abbey Inn!
Have you ever wished that you could
cook like your mum and bake like your
granny? Well – that’s just what Mark
Hillyard, Head chef at the Abbey Inn,
Byland decided he wanted to do at the
grand old age of four!
Recently appointed as Head Chef to
this historical North Yorkshire gastro
pub, Mark says he plans to put the
restaurant on the map: “The Abbey Inn
has always been known for its great
food and I want to take this one step
further with traditional recipes I grew
up with, made with fresh local
produce.”
Mark is a Yorkshire lad – born and
bred. He attended Thomas Danby
College in Leeds to achieve his City &
Guilds certificates at the age of sixteen
and worked part-time at a local four
star Hotel where the Head Chef at the
time, Anthony Lek became his friend
and mentor. This, he says, is the key to
succeeding in the industry. “You need
enthusiasm and someone to look up
to who will take the time to train,
encourage and inspire you- I was
lucky to have met my role model early
in my career.”
From Leeds, Mark moved to work in
restaurants in the Cotswolds and then
on to Cumbria – and throughout, the
restaurants have had no less than two
rosettes. Appointed as sous chef at
the Millar Howe Hotel, Windermere owned and operated by the famous
70’s chef John Tovi (Delia Smith was
the pastry Chef), Mark not only learnt
the art of preparing and cooking for
ten course gala dinners, but he also
helped give cookery demonstrations
along with John Tovi as part of an inhouse cookery course.
In 2002 Mark travelled to South East
Asia for 6 months, giving him time to
learn about different cultures and their
foods. Mark says, “I was totally
bowled over with the freshness of
food served in Australia – everything
from little sandwich shops to burger
bars and restaurants. Food was
prepared in front of the customer
always and the choice was
phenomenal”
Back in England, Mark was more
determined than ever to specialise in
old fashioned home-cooked dishes
made with fresh, local produce. His
time has finally come – as Head Chef
at the historic Abbey Inn, he has now
sourced his supplies locally, he’s
created some heart warming dishes
and he is happy to be serving these in
the delightful dining rooms overlooking the majestic Byland Abbey –
he is now making his Mark!
Stillington Ladies
Hockey
With a long drive to Danby, a hill
side pitch and only ten men,
Stillington unfortunately came away
with a loss of 3-0. The score line
however was not reflective of the
effort of the team, with some fantastic
play from the defence left half Helen
Oliver and back Sarah Rudd who
received Match Player and Players
player respectively and some stunning
saves from goalie Kate Liddle. Next
week is at home against Malton and
on home soil we hope to get back to
our winning ways.

If you’re looking for some respite
from the usual festivities on offer in
December, then look to In The Dock,
where an acoustic feast is being
served up. With such stellar
performers as Boo Hewerdine and
Rosalie Deighton, the audience at The
Old Courthouse in Thirsk will be overindulging on the finest singers and
songs North Yorkshire has to offer.
Boo Hewerdine has spent much of
his musical career letting his talented
song writing be sung by others,
Natalie Imbruglia, Mel C and Eddi
Reader to name just a few. In more
recent years he’s turned performer
himself (you’ll wonder why he waited
so long), bringing to life his wellcrafted words and his beautiful,
acoustic melodies, to how he
originally created them. With a back
catalogue of 400 hundred songs,
including pop classics like ‘Patience Of
Angels’, fans of good solid song
writing won’t be disappointed.
‘A voice that demands you hang on
its every word’, is how The Observer
describes Rosalie Deighton’s vocal
talent, and those who saw her last
performance at The Old Courthouse
will no doubt agree. She not only
captivated the audience with her
sensitive and thought-provoking
melodies, but also charmed the pants
off them with her wit and humour
between those songs. Expect more of
the same, and some, as she’ll be
joining Boo on stage during the
evening for a few impromptu
numbers.
As ever, the evening promises to be
the intimate affair that In The Dock
audiences have become accustomed
to, with café style seating and a fully
licensed bar. And as it is Christmas,
mince pies will be on sale with
proceeds going to the Baldersby St.
James primary school musical
instrument box.

Job Losses in our Area?
The MOD appear to be considering
closing RAF pilot training at Linton on
Ouse, and moving the Tucanos to RAF
Valley in Anglesey. This would have a
seriously adverse effect on the local
economy. Milliions of pounds come
into our area via the Base and closure
could mean loss of jobs directly and
indirectly. MP Anne McIntosh has
written to the Secretary of State for
Defence seeking assurance of the
continuation of Linton and the other 3
Military Bases in the Vale. But is this
enough? Will our three Local
Authorties express their concerns?
Will Yorkshire Forward report on the
economic implications of closure?
Will anyone organise a Petition? Are
we going to do nothing and let this
happen?

Super Sevens
Saturday 3rd November saw the
annual Super Sevens football
tournament at Galtres Centre in
Easingwold.
A full quota of eight teams entered
this year with last year’s champions,
Forest of Galtres being joined by St.
Peters Brafferton, Alne, Huby, Sherriff
Hutton, Linton, Easingwold and
Sutton.
With a full 8 teams, a draw was
made to split the contenders into two
leagues of four teams. Each team
would play everyone in their league
and then, to decide final placings, 4th
would play 4th, 3rd would play 3rd,
and so on until a champion was
crowned. Despite two teams teams
arriving slightly later than planned, the
competition got underway with some
excellent football being played. This
year’s competition was one of the
closest we have ever seen at the
Galtres Centre with many teams
drawing or each beating one another,
threatening to leave us with a
stalemate situation when all the games
had been played. One league finished
with 1st to 4th places decided, but in
the other we required a penalty
shootout as two teams finished even
on points, goals scored and goals
conceded. The rules state that the toss
of a coin should be used to decide the
winner, but after consultation with
both managers it was agreed that
penalties would be used. Following
this decision it was Forest of Galtres
who progressed to the final with
Sutton entering the 3rd and 4th place
playoff. The other team in the final
were Alne.
Following a close game extra time
was needed as the teams could not be
separated!
Following 2 minutes each way of
extra time, the teams still could not be
separated so the dreaded penalties
were required once again. All seven
team members took a penalty and it
was Alne who emerged victorious by
winning 4 goals to 0.
The final standings were as follows:
8th Sherriff Hutton, 7th Linton, 6th
Easingwold, 5th Brafferton, 4th
Sutton, 3rd Huby, 2nd Forest of
Galtres and 1st Alne.
On behalf of the Galtres Centre we
would like to express our appreciation
to all the children, teachers and
parents for making it an excellent
morning, and to Frank Barugh, Peter
Rees, Ted Jarman, Chris Pearson,
Fred Wood and Will Smith for all their
hard work on the morning of the
competition.
COUNTRY MUSIC
TICKETS RELEASED
Tickets for a COUNTRY & WESTERN
MUSICAL BONANZA to be staged at
The Galtres Centre next February, have
gone on sale early due to demand.
PALOMINOS one of the leading
performers of COUNTRY MUSIC in the
UK are playing a very special benefit
show for well-known Easingwold
Charity THE OLD BOOT SHOP.
David Giles, Palomino’s lead singer
told The Easingwold Advertiser “ So
many people have asked us about
tickets and when they could buy them,
we thought we had better put them out
now, instead of after Christmas as was
the plan.” He added, “ If there is
enough demand we will try and find a
way of adding and extra date.”
PALOMINO is taking time out of their
hectic schedule of engagements to
boost the funds of THE OLD BOOT
SHOP
They will welcome a Surprise Guest
Star to the bill.
One thing that PALOMINO and David
Giles promise is all the music they
play will be 100% country and 100%
live “And in this day and age that
makes a refreshing change!”

Brogan’s Hat-trick a
Treat for Huby
Leyburn 2 - Huby Utd 3
Dave Brogan was Huby’s hero and
man of the match with three welltimed goals.
Utd made an explosive start to the
game, when after a mix-up in
Leyburn’s defence, Dave Brogan sped
like a rocket to step in and carry the
ball past the keeper.
Huby maintained their fizzing start to
the game when Simon Dodsworth laid
on the second for Brogan after 15
minutes.
Craig Richardson and Richard
Jennison then went close for Utd, on a
pitch that did not help their free
flowing brand of football.
Leyburn pulled one back against the
run of play towards the end of the first
half, with an excellent header from a
right wing corner.
Leyburn had their tails up at this
point, but Huby steadied the ship, and
gradually wrested back control of the
game.
Utd created several chances to seal
the match, but had to wait till the 65th
minute before Dodsworth again
supplied the pass for Brogan to fire
the ball home.
Leyburn pulled one back with ten
minutes to go, and although they gave

LIKE A VIRGIN by Gordon Steel
A powerful play with music gives an hilarious romp through the
bubble-gum years of teenage life. Angela and Maxine, two sixteen
year olds, attack life with laughter, vibrancy and excitement.
Besotted with Madonna they truant from school, form a band,
attempt to write pop songs - and with hairbrushes in hand they
live out their adolescent dreams of becoming famous.

Pumpkins with twinkling lights,
broomsticks and witches all out and
about on Halloween; tricks and treats.
In the village hall another kind of treat
awaited. Pat Carrivick’s presentation
of ‘Cougar Annie’s Garden’ was an
amazing story. It began with the
history of Annie’s family and her
upbringing and how she came to
marry her husband Willy, a drunkard
who also used drugs.
This amazing woman and her
husband produced fourteen children
in extreme deprivation on Vancouver
Island where they had bought
seventeen acres of wild land
surrounded by acres and acres of pine
trees and wild animals.
We were told of the many years of
toil and hard work. That Annie had to
clear the land and make a garden with
only the help of her children. She
began a nursery garden
and
advertised her plants which she
eventually sold all over Canada. Her
plants came from Japan, Chile and

New Zealand which she propagated
and sent all over the world.
She managed to open a post office
and a little shop and eventually got a
telephone. She and her children had a
very hard life with very little reward. In
1933-34 they had no sales at all from
the nursery but she killed 800 cougars
which earned her the name “Cougar
Annie.”
The authorities took away her three
older children and eventually the
others moved away. By 1935, when
her husband Willy died, only four
children were living with her. Three
years later she advertised for a new
husband, George Campbell, a cruel
man who died under suspicious
circumstances!!! She advertised again
for a partner to help with the nursery.
Esau Arnold arrived and they managed
the nursery and garden alone. Esau
died in 1954. Annie advertised again
for a partner with children and Robert
Culver arrived with his children. This
was a loving partnership but ended as
his three children became ill and had
to move away from Vancouver Island
though they kept in touch with each
other. Annie advertised again and
along came George who she married
in 1960, aged 72 years, he 60 years.
This partnership didn’t work and she
drove him away. After this time she
managed the garden and nursery on
her own with only occasional help
from one son who visited her. She
continued to work on her nursery until
28th April 1985 when she died aged
91 years.
We saw photographs of Annie aged
19 yrs and 91 yrs and the nursery
where she propagated her plants. This
seemed to be a life of many tricks and
not too many treats.
Our next meeting in November will
be ‘Various aspects of Clematis’ by
Garry Gaunt.
Marion Roberts Retires
The retirement of Marion Roberts
has seen the village shop in Alne
closed at the end of October. There
was an expression of appreciation
from many people for the work Mrs.
Roberts has done in the community.
The possibility of a new shop for the
village is being considered by the
parish council.

THIRSK BUSINESS HELPS 50th DISABLED DRIVER
A Thirsk car dealership has assisted
its 50th disabled customer under the
Motability scheme, which provides a
specially adapted car complete with
tax, insurance, RAC breakdown cover,
servicing and free replacement tyres.
Polar Ford, based on Station Road,
became an accredited Motability
specialist two years ago and has
invested in the training of its staff so
that they can help disabled drivers
with their special needs.
Its 50th customer is Peter McAdams
from Northallerton, who purchased a
new Ford Fusion. Motability is open to
anyone who receives the Higher Rate
Mobility Component of the Disability
Living Allowance or the War
Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement.
“I was delighted with the service
provided by the sales staff at Polar
Ford, I’ve been going to them for three
years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere
else. The service has always been first
rate, and I would urge any disabled
drivers to take note of the Motability
programme as it’s a fantastic idea,”
said Peter McAdams.
Polar Ford sales manager Richard
Preston, added;
“Each member of our sales team has
been fully trained as an accredited
Motability specialist and is able to
advise on the best possible
adaptations that are available for
disabled motorists. It is wonderful to
know that Peter McAdams, as our
50th customer, rated his experience
so highly”.
Polar Ford is part of the Ford Retail
group, which recently won Motability’s
‘Dealer Group of the Year’ award for its
expertise in helping disabled
motorists.

HELD ON FRIDAY 12TH OCTOBER, 2007
When I was given the ‘all clear’ from breast cancer in July this
year I decided to celebrate my 60th birthday in style by holding
a major fund-raising party in support of the Breast Cancer Unit.
I asked all my family and friends to make a donation to the
Integrated Breast Cancer Fund instead of giving me a birthday
gift. I also approached local businesses to ask for their support
and with everyone’s generosity we have raised more than
£4,500 for the fund.
Almost 100 guests partied the night away at my birthday bash,
which was held at Easingwold Football Club, with many local
businesses contributing to the success of the evening. These
included Ebor Marquee, fantastic Thai food from the New Inn,
Huby, Disco and Elvis impersonation by Paul Moore with
assistance of Amanda, Magical Wonderphil and sterling efforts
from the bar staff Clive, Carly and Laura. Donations were
received from Rocom Ltd, Cala Homes (Yorkshire) Ltd, Hunters
Estate Agents, PK Accommodation Ltd, Pen-Life Associates,
Solus Public Relations Ltd of Manchester, C Medd & Sons,
Hambleton Fresh Produce Ltd, Universal Tanker Services LLP of
Manchester and A19 Taxis.
Compere for the evening was my dear brother, Stephen and the
guest speaker was Mr Mancey-Jones, my consultant from the
York District Hospital. My lovely husband Stuart, helped by true
friends Sandra, Marie, Maureen, Ann, Glynis and David, brought
hilarity to the evening with a poem about events in my life.
It was the most fantastic night, which I shall remember always
and from the feedback received the whole atmosphere touched
so many of you. I shall never forget the wonderful care I
received from Mr Mancey-Jones and his team at the Breast
Cancer Care Unit and this seemed a fitting way to say thank you.
I’m just so grateful to my wonderful family, friends and local
businesses that helped me achieve this total for such a very
worthy cause.

Newton on Ouse WI
The new season at Newton WI began
with a warm welcome to a number of
visitors and a new member, along with
hearty congratulations to Norah West,
celebrating her 65th wedding
anniversary.
Once business was over and our
diaries were filled with details of the
many and varied events organised for
the winter months, we settled down to
a talk on “Red Kites in Yorkshire”
given by Doug Simpson. His talk,
punctuated by some beautiful
photographs of red kites in the area,
was both informative and interesting.
These fascinating birds were once
widespread in Yorkshire and were
given special protection by Royal
Charter in the 15th century due to their
street cleaning properties! Sadly, over
the years there has been a steady
decline in their numbers due to
persecution and the improvement in
general hygiene. By the mid 1800s
they were extinct in both England and
Scotland.
Doug and his team now use the
Harewood Estate to provide a secure
place for the release of birds into the
area. Pens are set up to keep young
birds safe until they are old enough
and fit enough to be freed. We were
told of how the birds often play dead
when they are under threat, how wing
tags help identify the birds and
provide information on their
movement and social activity and how
persecution is sadly still a problem.
Since the programme began,
approximately 320 young red kites
have been raised - a very successful
project.
In recent weeks, members were also
invited to an Antiques Road show.
Members brought along a variety of
interesting, fascinating and distinctly
odd exhibits for our expert to discuss.
We learned of their background,
possible uses and estimated value.
Two hours later and our expert was
gasping for breath! It is amazing what
delights we have hidden away in our
cupboards and how beautiful and
valuable antiques have been given to
children to play with, used to hold
sweets and generally abused over the
years. Several items were carried
home with rather more care than when
they arrived.
Newton on Ouse is a busy WI with a
packed programme - speakers, visits,
walks, book club, scrabble, whist,
craftwork and many other activities,
organised on a regular basis. Visitors
are always guaranteed a warm
welcome and a cup of tea. Why not
come along and join us?

Mitchell Movement
A mellow Mitchell movement for
those of us who had left our witches’
costumes at home produced
commendable improvement from
several of our less experienced
players. Treats for Geoffrey Rowson
and Kath Russon, with a score of
60.87% playing North/South and for
Jane MacKintosh and Al Byrne, with a
score of 58.70%, East/West, left the
rest of the room wishing they had had
more tricks up their sleeves!
The group welcomes witches,
wizards and ordinary bridge players of
whatever persuasion, and especially
those who feel tentative about joining
a bridge club. No partner needed.

The Battle of Marston
Moor
Easingwold Town
Juniors AFC
The Galtres Centre, Easingwold, will
be presenting an illustrated talk by
Russell Marwood from the York
Archaeological Trust next month.
Russell Marwood is an authority on
this very important and major turning
point in the English Civil War, and will
present his talk dressed as a soldier of
the time, and it is hoped to arrange a
tour of the battlefield during the
summer of 2008 led by Russell.
What an exciting scenario! The
Royalists under the Marquess of
Newcastle and Prince Rupert, against
an army made up of Parliamentary
and Scottish troops led by Sir Thomas
Fairfax and Lord Manchester.
The war was going badly for the
Royalists in the North of England, and
they were forced to fall back on the
fortified city of York, where they were
besieged by Parliamentary armies led
by Fairfax.
Prince Rupert is bringing a relief
force of 7,000 cavalry and as many
foot soldiers north to the relief of the
city, and forces Fairfax to break off the
siege and march south to prevent
Rupert’s
army
reaching
the
approaches to York.
What happens next? Well, come
along to the talk and hear about
history on the doorstep, and how the
battle of Marston Moor made the
reputation of a man by the name of
Oliver Cromwell and his part in the
defeating of the Royalist cavalry!
As with all Galtres Centre events,
this will be advertised in the
“Advertiser”.

Easingwold 1 Dunnington 3
In many respects this was a tale of
two halves. The first saw Easingwold
in the ascendancy, looking good and
coming close to scoring on several
occasions. After the break, however, it
was Dunnington who grasped the
initiative and finish with the victory,
even if perhaps undeservedly.
As in their last match, the
Easingwold defence dealt confidently
with everything that was thrown at
them, and the visitors didn’t seriously
look like scoring. Although not making
full use of the wide pitch, Easingwold
certainly posed more problems in and
around the penalty box. Baudouin
forced the keeper into a fine save and
came close on another occasion whilst
Rawcliffe narrowly put a shot wide of
the far post after a good burst into the
box. Stirk hit a rasping shot just over
the bar and the home team had a
header cleared off the line too.
It appeared that a goal would come if
more pressure was applied and
Easingwold switched to 4-4-2 in the
second half. Unfortunately some of
the snap and sparkle disappeared and
Dunnington, a physically bigger and
generally older team, began to get on
top. A cross to the far post wasn’t
challenged and a free header gave
them a 1-0 lead. With an hour gone it
was 2-0, but only after a clearly offside
forward was credited with a goal.
Easingwold three times came very
close to pulling a goal back but a
clinical finish was missing and, as the
team pushed forward , the visitors
sewed things up with a breakaway.
Webster scored the goal of the match
with a left foot shot from 25 yards and
Easingwold finished strongly but it
was too late.
A disappointing result but, again,
enough talent was on show to make it
certain that victories will start coming.

Letter to the Editor
Sir,
I am a frequent reader of the
Easingwold Advertiser, and always
enjoy the various articles and letters
which offer a taste of daily life in our
area. Whilst reading the many letters
submitted to the Advertiser, I have
found that all too often that when there
is an object of acrimony, it will
inevitably be the EU; anonymous suits
in Brussels taking away our freedoms
and values we hold dear here in Great
Britain. I feel it is time for an opposite
viewpoint to be heard, and I am ready
to provide one. In a few months I shall
be of voting age, and I have decided to
throw my support behind the Liberal
Democrats, more specifically the proEurope, ex-MEP Chris Huhne who
argues for greater British involvement
in the EU. The EU is often unfairly
portrayed in this paper as an
expensive,
paper
pushing,
beauracratic mess, a malign influence
that snuffs out our national identity,
but the multitude of benefits the UK
enjoys as a result of our EU
membership are often ignored.
First and foremost, we now enjoy a
much closer relationship with our vital
continental
trading
partners.
Economically this means complete
free trade between us and Europe,
allowing goods and services to flow
uninhibited by regulations or
paperwork between the UK and
France, Germany, Italy, Spain and so
on; essentially creating one free
market. When you consider that
European nations account for over half
of our trade, it is vital we take
advantage of this economic freedom.
The cooperation between European
nations also transfers over into other

areas. For example, if British and
Greek scientists found that the food
dye E671 was carcinogenic, the use of
this dye would be banned throughout
the EU; thus if you went on holiday in
France, your children would not be at
risk from cancer if they ate boiled
sweets or drank soft drinks.
Eurosceptics would say that the EU
introduces
leglislation
directly
affecting Britain and yet it is not
democratic. But the EU parliament is
elected by the people of Europe, when
we choose our MEPs. The parliament
is balanced by the EU Commission,
comprising of individuals appointed
by the elected governments of every
European state. Members of the EU
workforce (often dismissed as paper
shuffling bureaucrats) are recruited on
merit through open application.
Our sovereignty, supposedly being
whittled down by the EU, was won
through the blood of our soldiers on
battlefields at Waterloo, Trafalgar,
Flanders and Normandy when the
European nations clashed violently.
Now we can send our children to these
places to learn from the mistakes of
the past and know that, now the
interests of all European states are
embodied within the EU, it will never
happen again.
As for the claim that as an EU
member, the UK is losing its sense of
national identity, I would say this:
Have the French become any less
French in the last 40 years? Have the
Irish become any less Irish? Does
being a member of an exclusive
international club change what it is to

be British? On the contrary, I am all
the prouder to be British due to the
key role we have played for the last 25
years in building up an international
community which brings peace and
prosperity to this once troubled
continent. I firmly believe that in this
case it much better for Britain to be on
the inside looking out, rather than the
outside looking in.

Stillington School
celebrates 100 years
1907 – 2007
On 11th October, a beautiful sunny
day, Stillington School played host to
a packed gathering of parents, past
pupils and village members. The Head
teacher, Ms Atkinson, opened the
festivities by welcoming everybody
and setting the theme for the
afternoon by reading from the entries
in the school log book which was
started on the day the school opened
in 1907. There were incidents of
absenteeism due to potato picking and
harvest; school closures because of
measles outbreaks. In September
1919 a lad, Charles Denton, started at
the school. In April 1945 he was back
as head master and later his son,
John, came to the school in his turn.
On a day in May 1935 the school was
closed - a snowstorm ! In March
1942, again closed - no coal for fires
in the class rooms and again in March
the following year - war time
shortages. However, sometimes the
children got a half day for celebratory
reasons such as coronations and royal
weddings.
The Chair of Governors, Mrs
Sanderson then read past reports
from HM Inspectors which showed
the school as well run and happy. In
1927, 80 years ago, the report praised
the school for good composition, well
taught geography and history as well
as good needlework by the girls and
excellent gardening by the boys. She
then read extracts from the 2007
Ofsted report which revealed that the
school was still a thriving and happy
community that served its children
very well.
Then, to great excitement, Ms
Atkinson drew a name from a hat to
reveal the lucky pupil who would
unveil the centenary memorial. This
displayed a beautiful stained glass
window, designed by the children and
created by Mr Gareth Jay of Haxby. It
depicted five different periods of the
school over the last 100 years and was
shown off to great advantage by
brilliant sunshine streaming through
it.
The afternoon’s entertainment
moved on to the children, some in
costume, describing the school in the
early days as well as modern times.
Much was made of walking to school
in bare feet to save their boots from
getting wet or muddy. The audience
was regaled with tales of trekking
outside to the toilet in winter and how
much better toilet paper is today!
After songs and readings everybody
flocked outside for a huge balloon
release organised by FoSS (Friends of
Stillington School). The balloons rose
high into the blue sky and disappeared
in a north easterly direction - hopefully
a child in Norway, Sweden or even
Russia will hear about the centenary.
Tea and cakes were served, again by
FoSS, and all the guests took the
opportunity to browse round the
exhibition of old photographs on
display in the hall. Many memories
were revived and reminiscences talked
over by the alumni of the school much
to the interest of those more recent
members of the village. There are still
members of the community who can
remember the first headmaster, Mr
Metcalf.
In October 1907 95 children of
Stillington moved into their brand new
school building in Main Street,
previously having been in, what today
is, the Village Hall; Mr Metcalf was to
lead the school for nearly 40 years.
Over the years numbers of children
fluctuated but they were usually in the
sixties and seventies, today there are
38. By 2007 the school had see many
great events both good and bad - four
coronations, two world wars, many
village events as well as personal
triumphs by the pupils. The school
and all who work there, staff and
governors, still serve the village
children and are very grateful for all
the encouragement and support
received from the village community.
In return the pupils and staff strive to
achieve excellent results.
This has been proved by our recent
excellent Ofsted report which opened
by saying ‘Stillington is a good and
improving school’ and continued by
praising the quality of the teaching,
management and care to be found in
the school. We all feel proud that after
100 years the school is still such a
success - we look forward to the next
hundred years.
Easingwold Scouts
In the week before Remembrance
Day, 1st Easingwold (Forest of
Galtres) Cubs and Scouts hosted a
very special guest, Flight Lieutenant
(Retired) Terry Clark, a local York
resident, a veteran of the Second
World War and an ex Cub and Scout
himself. Terry gave a fascinating talk
to the boys about his time as a
Navigator on Mosquitos and
Pupils build giant
tetrahedron at
Easingwold School
Last week, over 100 Year 6 pupils
from the Easingwold area were set a
challenge to build a giant tetrahedron
using only canes and elastic bands.
The pupils from Easingwold,
Husthwaite, Linton on Ouse,
Stillington, Crayke, Huby and Sutton
on the Forest primary schools were
taking part in a special event, hosted
by Easingwold School.
The design and engineering event
was led by Pam Lee, Education
Adviser of Construction Skills
(formerly the Construction Industry
Training Board), an organisation which
represents all parts of the construction
industry in the UK. Assisted by Year 8
generated lots of questions about
wooden aeroplanes. He went on to
relate the story of his pilot, who sadly
went on a mission without him and
never came back, which really brought
home the reality of Remembrance
before the Cubs and Scouts join the
British Legion on Sunday for the
annual parade through town. Terry
then helped to invest Callum as a new
Cub which gave a positive end to the
evening.
pupils from Easingwold School, the
children had to build a 4 metre high
pyramid-like structure. They explored
shape, strength and stability of
structures while gradually building
their huge tetrahedron in the
Easingwold School Hall.
The event, on Tuesday, 30th October,
was organised by Deirdre Busfield,
Principal Teacher in the Faculty of
Business and Enterprise as part of
Easingwold
School’s
transition
programme for boys and girls who will
be joining their Year 7 next September.
Pupils also learned about the great
variety of careers available in the
construction industry and during the
activity they used important enterprise
skills, which will be further developed
when they get to secondary school,
including team working, problem
solving, communication and creativity.
The Commercial
Hallowe’en & Air Ambulance Presentation
Bear Island Polar Bears
Forest of Galtres Society members
turned out in number to hear Dag
Hagenaes-Kjelldahl talk about Bear
Island in the Norwegian Arctic. Bear
Island lies high up in the North Atlantic
Ocean in a very inhospitable climate of
intense cold, long winters, wind,
snow, darkness and natural dangers.
Summer comes, for only two months,
and dense fogs occur above the
competing sea currents, blotting out
the coastline, lakes and mountains of
the small island.
When the skies clear, the view is
magnificent, with vertiginous sea
cliffs, seabirds, and the archaeology of
the bases built by Russians, and
Norwegians, and the meteorology
station that is the reason that Dag
spent a year working there in the
1970s. Dag was a working journalist,
and we were held spellbound by his
story of all that happened in that year
on the station.
He showed us the fat Fulmar chicks
that protect themselves by directing
the contents of their stomach into the
face of intruders. He told us about the
thousands of walrus that used to
return to Bear Island every year to
breed until hunting caused their
extinction in the 1860s. Their blubber
was the goal of the hunters. Other
later groups mined into the permafrost
and exported good quality Devonian
era coal.
Dag brought with him an exhibition
of finds, including a (safe) Mauser
gun, fur clothes he made to keep

Mr Wilkinson of York
A new play on the life of “Mr
Wilkinson of York” by Easingwold
writer Edward Pearce is to have
rehearsed public reading at York
Theatre Royal
This Sunday, York Theatre Royal will
be hosting a rehearsed public reading
of Easingwold writer Edward Pearce’s
comedy, ‘Mr Wilkinson of York’.
Actors from the university, the
Harrogate Woodland Players and
other theatre societies will play the
parts of the actors who performed at
the Theatre Royal 200 years ago.
‘Mr Wilkinson’ tells the story of the
young actor who, after an audition
with David Garrick, had made his
name at Drury Lane and who when on
tour was invited in the late 1760s to
take on the management of York
Theatre Royal.
The play describes the events of the
York theatre and its circuit around the
county. It tells of the arrival of a
pregnant and penniless Dora Jordan
(later mistress of the future William
IV) whom Wilkinson recognises as a
star and promotes, also of chaste
Sarah Siddons who detested lively
Dora. There are upsets and near
disasters.
Wilkinson, after cooling down a
prospective duel, confiscates a pistol,
putting it into the props basket. A few
weeks later, an actor, about to go on
stage to shoot someone, is absent
mindedly handed that pistol –
loaded . . .
The Scots Tragedian, Alexander
Cummins, acts comedy in his best
tragic manner but is still the favourite
of theatregoers for his grand and
audible manner.
Tate Wilkinson, having settled in
York, stayed for the rest of his life, (he
is buried in All Saints Pavement), one
of the great men of the theatre
nationally and someone who, over
more than 30 years, gave the Theatre
Royal a brilliant reputation. The play
does him full justice in the old
business of the trade of making them
laugh and making them cry.
This performance will be part of the
Six Week Master class series led by
the
distinguished
American
Playwright, Donald Freed.
At the AGM held on 19 September
2007 Lead Youth Worker Kim Hastie
reported that COZIE has been going
from strength to strength, opening on
three nights a week for several months
now with an average of 15 and a
maximum of 25 young people
attending each night. Kim said that
there had been some successful
external events. One young person
had applied and won money to do a
paintball trip. 10 young people and
two youth workers had had a really
good day out at a venue near Escrick.
COZIE had been using Galtres Centre
facilities such as the Sports Hall and
the all weather football pitch, had
taken part in a game of five-a-side with
the local police and a game against
Thirsk. There have been a couple of
pool tournaments and there are plans
for quiz nights and an International
Evening. Young people are given
birthday cards on their birthdays and
like this idea. Youth leaders have
helped a number of young people with
problems concerning employment,
job applications etc. There had been
staff changes since the previous AGM.
Jo Forshaw, a qualified youth leader,
had been a great asset to COZIE and
so had Mick Parkinson, an MOD police
officer who has worked with young
people in various roles for many
years.
Chairman Harry Crew expressed
appreciation to Kim for her work,
which has played such a big part in the
success of the centre. For the future,
Lawrence Monaghan, of NYCC Youth
Service for South Hambleton said he
hoped to continue funding youth staff
warm, a human skull and best of all, a
walrus head complete with long tusks,
and a snarling polar bear head. These
models looked so lifelike, and the
polar bear indicated the size of this
animal, a huge powerful creature. Dag
was very lucky to have had his life
saved one day. He was due to go for
a walk with a fellow met station man,
but he slept in. He set off after his
friend only to discover his dog, and
then the corpse of his friend who had
been attacked by a hungry polar bear
and he died beside a hut. Nature is
cruel, but Dag was very lucky and he
survived, grateful for once for sleeping
in.
Dag explained that when one polar
bear had been shot to save another
staff man, they found it had two cubs.
These youngsters they brought up on
their station, and he said they were
very intelligent. When they became
too big to keep, they exchanged to a
life in zoos.
There was so much to see in the
exhibition, and to hear about Bear
Island. Dag’s photographs showed us
just how cruel the harsh climate could
be, but he had loved his year there,
and yes he can still get into the anorak
he made for himself that season. He
wore it that evening in mid October
when he came to lecture to us in
Easingwold. Dag explained so much
to us, and some members are now
going to make their own visit to Bear
Island. Great, but I’m not organising a
Society visit to this particular
destination!
for 3 nights a week, particularly
through autumn and winter.
The financial statement for the year
was presented and adopted and it was
noted that repairs and maintenance for
the building was a significant ongoing
expense. Appreciation was expressed
for financial help received in the past
year in grants and or donations from
Easingwold
United
Charities,
Churches Together in Easingwold and
District, Easingwold District Lions –
Ladies, Easingwold Town Council and
NYCC Connexions.
Members elected to the new
committee to run the Centre were
Anne Banks, jenny Clare, Harry Crew,
Ruth Duck, Diane Gallon, Ray Graves,
Ann Harrison and Jane Shepherd. Kim
Hastie will continue on the committee
as Youth leader as will Councillor Neil
Madden representing Easingwold
Town Council. Councillor Brian Taylor,
who was not standing for re-election,
was recognised for his many years
work as a member of the committee.
At the first meeting of the new
committee officers elected were:
Chairman Diane Gallon, Secretary
Jane Shepherd, and Treasurer Ray
Graves. Harry Crew’s three years of
dedicated work as the previous
chairman was appreciated.

Royal Air Force – Linton on Ouse
View from the Control Tower
Linton navigator instructor Flight
Lieutenant Rod Clark posing with the
base’s static display Jet Provost
At the end of October I spent half a
day at Linton to see what happens
during the working day at such a
familiar local landmark. I was last here
one dark Bonfire night in the early
eighties at one of their spectacular
firework displays. Like many people I
had only driven past and seen a few
aircraft parked up or in flight
throughout the area. Very seldom do
you get the opportunity to visit such a
military base in action, so to spend a
few hours being shown round every
facet of such a large airfield was
extremely informative.
To say this part of Yorkshire doesn’t
see many aircraft would be a slight
understatement. In fact Linton is the
UK’s third busiest airfield after
Heathrow and Gatwick in terms of
aircraft movements. Most weekdays
between office hours you will probably
see RAF Tucanos being put through
their paces by tomorrow’s fast jet
pilots. Linton brings 26 million
pounds into the community with over
400 civilian contractors and 300 RAF
personnel required for RAF Linton to
fulfil its roles of training fast jet pilots
and weapon system officers from the
RAF and the Royal Navy and foreign
and Commonwealth students.
It takes 10 months and 120 flying
hours to turn the 100 student pilots
(per year) into competent aviators.
Their training covers general and
instrument
flying,
emergency
handling, formation flying, navigation
and night flying. All training is carried
out in the Tucano, a modified
Brazilian-designed aircraft built under
licence by Shorts of Belfast. Capable
of 345mph and fully aerobatic
powered by an 1150shp Garrett
Turboprop engine, the Tucano more
than prepares future fighter pilots.
After leaving Linton the qualified pilots
spend another 10 months training in
Hawk Jets before leaving for various
type conversions ie Tornado, Harrier
or the New Typhoon combat fighter
Refuelling the Tucanos
Maintaining the Tucanos
which takes a further six months,
resulting in two and a half years
training before pilots take to the front
line.
Civilian
contractors
provide
maintenance and technical backup to
keep the planes flying. Many are exmilitary personnel and are no
strangers to the tasks of keeping such
a busy airfield working. For everything
from flight simulators to photographic
and cleaning services civilian
contractors, many of whom live
locally, provide the solutions.
Linton also provides flight
information and radar, not only to
military aircraft but also private light
aircraft and helps keep everyone safe.
A couple of years ago a private light
aircraft crashed during an emergency
landing and the occupants were saved
by the airfield’s emergency services.
The airfield is available to any stricken,
aircraft military or private, a service it
gladly provides.
Flying is part of the very fabric of
modern life. It would be hard to
imagine no aircraft in the skies and the
world certainly would seem a bigger
place. The Yorkshire region has a
proud heritage of aviation stretching
from Sir George Cayley’s glider which
took off from Brompton by Sawdon,
near Scarborough in 1853 to the
Tucanos of Nº1 Flying training school
at Linton on Ouse of today. Sir George
laid the foundations of aeronautics in
1799 by discovering the principles of
lift and thrust, and the means of
vertical and horizontal control. At the
start of the 19th Century Sir George
was building small gliders - one even
carried a small boy - but for his aircraft
to be taken seriously they needed to
carry a man. After many experiments,
in 1853 and at the age of 79 he
persuaded his coachman John
Appleby to pilot his latest creation. It
flew over 455ft making him the first
person to complete a manned flight in
a fixed wing aircraft. His famous
comment after this remarkable feat
was to say “Please, Sir George, I wish
to give notice, I was hired to drive and
not to fly.” Sir George unfortunately
did not have access to a lightweight
engine or perhaps an Englishman
would have been the first to fly a
powered aircraft. It took over fifty
years before the dream of powered
flight came to fruition with the
American Wright brothers who fully
acknowledged it was Sir George
Cayley’s discoveries which paved the
way of modern aviation.
From the Wright brothers to World
War II aviation advanced at a
tremendous pace and when hostilities
broke out the Yorkshire Region was to
play a vital role in the Allied victory.
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire were
chosen for Bomber Command as both
areas yielded large flat areas ideal for
airfields. There were over 25
operational airfields in the Yorkshire
region as a whole. Linton was built
before WWII and opened in 1937 with
Air Commodore Harris (later known as
Bomber Harris) in command.
Squadrons from here flew a variety of
aircraft including the Whitley,
Blenheim, and Halifax. Halifax
bombers from 35 squadron were
involved in the sinking of the German
Battleship Tirpitz. This area boasted
the Canadian and French Canadian
squadrons with a few Brits and
Commonwealth airmen chucked in for
good measure. Wing Commander
Leonard
Cheshire
DSO
DFC
commanded 76 Squadron with Linton
providing a pivotal role in the 1000
Bomber raids over Germany. The
Yorkshire region as a whole lost
18,000 aircrew dead, with a high
percentage based at Linton, survival
rates were only 2 to 1 for Bomber
Command. We owe a huge debt to the
men from Britain and the
Commonwealth who risked all from
bases such as Linton. Not all were
killed over the skies of occupied
Europe. Many crashed or were shot
down over Yorkshire as German
fighters followed the bombers home,
Air Traffic Control
easy pickings as they lined up to land.
Various local tales have been told of
bombers crashing around the district
and many have since been reported
here in the Tiser.
Linton has made itself available to
various schools, groups and societies
for guided tours where they are
proudly shown round. One such group
I met was Stockton & Thornaby
Branch of the RAF Association with
some members who had served at
Linton in the past. You will have seen
quite a number of stories relating to
Linton in previous issues showing
veterans from all sides including a
German pilot who remarked the last
time he saw Linton he was bombing it!
Flying is definitely part of the local
landscape and with Linton celebrating
70 years as an operational base let’s
hope it continues for many more years
to come.

Wayfarers at the Wain Stones
On the 4th November Elizabeth Hjort led a very enjoyable walk around the upper
end of Bilsdale. Starting and finishing at Chop Gate, and taking in the Wain
Stones, the views were superb: to Middlesbrough and beyond, Roseberry
Topping and the more immediate valleys, hills and woodlands. It was excellent
weather for walking, clear blue skies and plenty of warm Autumn sun, and we met
quite a few other walkers on the Cleveland way section. Our next walk is a little
more local, around Terrington.

The finalists in this year’s
prestigious ‘Flavours of Hambleton’
awards scheme have been selected.
Twenty seven local businesses will
battle it out for the nine awards –
designed to celebrate good food in the
district.
They have just one week to wait
before finding out who has taken the
titles – as Restaurant of the Year,
Tearoom of the Year, Breakfast of the
Year, Specialist Retailer of the Year,
Food Producer of the Year, Pub Food
of the Year, Outside Caterer of the
Year, Newcomer and Village Shop of
the Year.
And there is a special award for
outstanding achievement to the
industry.
Organised by the District Council,
the awards scheme attracted more
than 1700 nominations for 100
businesses. Judges whittled them
down to the top four in each category
and have since visited them as
‘mystery shoppers’ to decide on the
finalists.
The competition was launched three
years ago as part of a drive to forge
closer links between tourism and local
food and drink producers in the
district.
“Once again the calibre of entries
was very high, making judging a very
difficult process,” said Tourism
Manager, David Shields.
“Some of our finalists are old
favourites but many are new entrants.
But all the winners show high
standards in providing good – local –
food, high quality service and
excellent surroundings.”
The event has attracted sponsorship
from local champions – the Darlington
and Stockton Times, ITV – Tyne Tees

Annual Craft Fair
Camera Club
Thirteen Members entered the first
digital image competition of the
season on Monday, November 5th.
No, not fireworks but all manner of
subjects photographed from an
‘Unusual Viewpoint’.
Peter
Thompson from York kindly came up
to Easingwold to do the judging and
saw all the images through twice
before allocating a mark to all but five
of them which were then revisited for
his final selection of winners. Keith
Schubert’s
abstract,
‘Animal,
Vegetable or Mineral?’ and Peter
Rushton’s ‘Sagrada’ were both
awarded 20 points. Close behind
with 19 was another image by Keith
Schubert of ‘Cobs through Cobwebs’,
two almost black horses seen
through a fine large spider’s web.
With 18 and 17 points respectively,
Allan Green and David Higgins also
had their images put forward to the
end of season final judging. A
beautifully clear and readable image
of the view pointer overlooking the
landscape from Sutton Bank was
Allan’s contribution whilst David had
manipulated a picture of a limestone
cove with a colourful foreground of
orange crocosmos flowers.
Five more runner-up images will
also go through for further judging.
Two of these were by Peter Dobson,
one a naturalistic fern uncurling in
springtime and the other taken in late
summer of five bales of straw in a
field on a hill beneath a vast blue sky
containing three cumulus clouds.
Two more images by Pam Pope both
illustrated the natural world in an
unusual context. ‘Thro’ a glass
darkly’ left Peter Thompson and
much of the audience puzzled as to
what blue plant or other object was
catching the light in some water
amongst other plants. Secondly, a
close-up of a winged creature whose
head was inside a spider’s mouth, the
spider itself attached to a purple
flower. Finally, Harry Lobley captured
‘Timpson Tower’ isolated from other
tall buildings and won him a place
too. Our President, Ken Hopwood
thanked all contributors to the
competition, half of whom scored
below 16 points but hopefully gained
wisdom from Peter’s comments and
will keep on trying!
A more relaxed evening is
scheduled for next week when Robin
Jarrett from Wetherby will re-visit us
and show his ‘Miscellany of the North
York Moors’.
