During this time the churchwardens have the responsibility of running the parish and booking visiting clergy and lay readers to take services. It is hoped to retain the current rota of services. In August, as last year, there will be just one United Communion service each Sunday to allow parishioners to travel to the other churches and maintain our links. The churchwardens are also here to help in any way they can should you wish to speak to anyone in confidence. If you wish to have a wedding, baptism or funeral in one of our churches simply get in touch with the appropriate churchwarden. During the interregnum the Rectory will be manned twice per week. Telephone messages can be left at the Rectory and these will be picked up on Tuesday and Thursday morning each week and your call returned.

CHURCH ON SHOW WENSLEYDALE SHOW SATURDAY 29 AUGUST This traditional Dales Show attracts thousands of visitors every year and offers a wonderful opportunity for the Dales churches to engage in mission. This year the Deanery, in partnership with our friends from the Methodist Church, are offering free refreshments and a pick-up point for lost children. We will be putting on an exhibition based on the theme of Lost and Found. Do come along to support us. MY FAVOURITE THINGS This month we hear from Elaine Williams of Melmerby. I was born and raised in Halifax and when I was 16 my dad, who was a toffee boiler, found a job at John Farrah’s in Harrogate so I went to work at the Milk Marketing Board on the switchboard. Here I made lots of friends and one of them took me to Darley Memorial Hall to the Saturday night dance where I met my husband. We married in 1965 and set up home in Oatlands where we lived for 9 years. I had several jobs in the first 6 years of married life but my main aim was always to give up work, I hated working for other people and being told what to do, so I was very pleased to hand my notice in and be a mom. Neil was born in 1970 and Helen came along 2 years later. We tried fostering for a few years but gave it up when I found I was having Katie and she was born in 1980. By now we had moved house and after 6 years moved again to house needing work and we had a 10-year plan in mind, after 20 years it was about finished! During the 20 years of doing the house up I decided to take in foreign students and over a 23-year period we had in excess of 400 boys and girls passing through. Some were wonderful some not so wonderful but all of them tried unsuccessfully to teach me their language. I had managed to avoid going out to work and made a tidy sum so all was well, and if I decide to write a book on hosting it will be entertaining to say the least. During these 23 years I also became interested in showing produce at local shows and eventually became a W.I. judge. I was also active in the Guiding Movement and for many years helped to run a Brownie pack, when I see any of these girls (who are now around 40) they still call me Tawny! Our daughters got married and our son went to London then we were alone again; so we went rural and moved to Melmerby where we embraced village life, taking part in several fund raising events. Katie and her husband then came to live in Melmerby and Neil finished with the rat race and came home for 3 weeks 6 years ago!. Now Helen, her husband and 3 children are coming back from Australia to live in Sinderby. Full circle as they say. Whilst I was still taking in the students I started a small catering business, which I run from home, I am still busy with this and enjoy it immensely probably because I am my own boss!

Some may be of a grandparent. You may even recognise yourself on the front cover. There may be a great- great- grandparent in the picture below. If you have any information about these photos or to see the others in the album please contact the school. Grandparents Lunch: We continue with our theme of finding out about the past with our grandparents lunch. It was lovely to see so many grandparents joining us for lunch on April 28th. We had 28 in total and they were very complimentary about their lunch. Many memories of school dinners in the past were shared and it is good to know that school lunches taste a lot better now than they did then. Eating from a plastic tray was also another source of amusement. If grandparents were unable to join us on this occasion – we anticipate that inviting grandparents to lunch will become a regular event. Writing Competition: Well done to Morgan Smith who has reached the last 3000 competitors in a national short story-writing competition organised by Radio 2. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he will progress further and will provide updates through our newsletter. Pupil Reports! Owls and Kites’ visit to York Railway Museum: On April 27th we went to York Railway Museum to see George Stevenson’s Rocket because we are learning about transport. My group saw a Mallard first. Next we saw a diesel. I liked the Queen’s train because I found out that her two favourite colours are red and gold. In the afternoon we saw a full Hornby set and we watched a Punch and Judy show in a carriage. At the end of the day I was very tired because I had so much fun! Written by Max and Stanley. Gymnastics Success: On Thursday 4th May, We (Izzy C, Ruby, Nia and Bobby) went to Richmond to compete in the Y3/4 Gymnastics finals. We competed against 6 schools and came 4th. We tried hard and enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully we will do this again next year.

Congratulations and thank to all who supported this event. Always appreciated. Some Duck Race history …. Sue Curry and her late husband started the Duck Race in 1995. For the first three years they hired the ducks but in 1998 they found a manufacturer who made them for just 11p per duck. Sue’s brother, who lived near the manufacturer collected the ducks to save on delivery charges as one thousand yellow plastic ducks were purchased. Those same ducks are still in use today. We are so very grateful to Sue for allowing us to use “her” ducks. Long may the tradition of an annual duck race continue. COFFEE AND GAMES MORNING Thurs 25 June 10am – 12noon This monthly coffee and games morning in church is on the last Thursday of each month. If you would like to come along to play scrabble, dominoes or cards, meet up with a few friends for a chat or simply come along for a tea or coffee then you would be most welcome. At 12 noon there will be a short service of Holy Communion but you are under no obligation to stay for this service. The idea is to offer a meeting place in the village for those who may not get out so much and also for those who would just like to meet up for a change and meet new people. All ages welcome. If you are interested or would like further details please contact Angela Cunningham on 567389. Paul Huffinley is willing to offer a lift to the Coffee Morning if you find it difficult to get there. Ring Paul Huffinley on 565500. PICKHILL SCHOOL NEWS The children are really enjoying this term’s topic of Victorians. We were very grateful to Derek Hopper of Pickhill who came to talk to the children and gave a very interesting talk about the history of Pickhill. This was followed by a walk around the village to identify the different areas that were talked about. Everyone is very busy sorting out their costume for the end of term play ‘Oliver’. However, we will all get to wear it before the performance as a special trip to Beamish has been arranged. The children will experience what it would have been like to be taught in Victorian times! They will also play games of that era and visit the mine and the village. On the afternoon of Thursday 7th May the children took part in a skipping workshop by ‘Skipping4schools led by the coach George Kuto. They thoroughly enjoyed learning new skipping moves including ‘The River Dance’, ‘The Sky Dive’ and ‘Double Dutch’. They also got an opportunity to display their newly learnt skills in an assembly at the end of the day. They are now going to develop these skills with a series of skipping challenges throughout the rest of this term. Every Friday afternoon playtime is a ‘skipping only’ time so we will be more than ready for the next skipping day of yet more challenges in the autumn term. FOPS would like to thank everyone who attended the Easter Eggstravanganza and who helped with the event. It raised more than £800, which will go towards school trips and other activities. There were many winners on the day - teacher Miss Rachelle Leech won £50 on the Easter lottery card, as did Sarah from Sinderby. Others won prizes such as a £25 voucher for the Black Lion in Thirsk, a haircut at Watkins Wright in Thirsk, an MOT at Busby Stoop, Tesco vouchers, pamper vouchers, a slow cooker, perfume and Easter eggs. The children enjoyed themselves on the bouncy castle, pony rides and egg hunt and they took part in Easter games and crafts. There were many superb entries in the Easter bonnet and egg decorating competitions. (See also page 14 for Strawberry Fair details) WHAT’S ON AT SINDERBY & DISTRICT VILLAGE HALL?
