The Cridling News Issue Number: 58 Date 11 July 2009 INFORMING THE RESIDENTS OF CRIDLING STUBBS Youth
Activities Cridling
Stubbs Youth Club presented their first-ever theatrical production on
Saturday 23rd May in
the village hall.
“Cinderella
- The Pantomusical” was, quite simply, a magnificent achievement. The
cast of five, Beth Wilson, Alex Roberts, Carl Wilson, Piers Pickard and
Charlotte Beal was impressive. The
production crew consisting of Lynda Walker, Bryan Crossdale, Carl Wilson
and Bryan Walker had devoted hours of their time to supporting the
youngsters and it certainly paid off.
Their dedication and commitment, week in week out, including
Saturday evenings at the Youth Club, is second to none and they deserve
huge praise. A
particular thank you to the Makeup and Hair ladies, Katie and Janine, you
are stars. Your final touches
made all the difference (and
soothed
some nerves). The
script, music, costumes, props, action, humour and detailed artwork were
wonderful. After the Grand
Finale, the stage was strewn with flowers thrown by an appreciative
audience, surely an unprecedented event in Cridling Stubbs!
Thank you to all who supported “Cinderella -The Pantomusical”
in any way. A
repeat performance in June was equally enjoyed. Sebastian Wilson joined
the cast and the multi-tasking Carl Wilson, yet again showed his
flexibility. The next production will be Peter Pan. If anyone wants to help please call in at the Youth Club on Saturday evenings. If you have any large unwanted plain sheets or duvet covers please consider donating them to make scenery/ backdrops. If necessary, collection can be arranged at a time to suit you!

Cridling
Stubbs Parish Council At
the Parish Council’s Annual Meeting on 13th May 2009, Jenny Adams was
elected Chair and Mick Shepherd the Vice-Chair.
At
the beginning of June 2009, Jenny Adams, Mick Shepherd and Moira Williams
resigned, so leaving the Parish
Council without a quorum and unable to operate legally (There must be at
least three parish councillors present to hold a legal meeting). In
consequence, Selby District Council intend to co-opt someone temporarily
to allow the Parish Council to resume its functions.
Further details will be circulated shortly.
It is anticipated that an Extraordinary Meeting will then be held
when outstanding issues such as the playground project, planters, bills
and nominations to the Cridling Stubbs Educational Charity can be
addressed. The
Parish Council acts as the “voice” for the village and ensures
residents are given accurate information.

Names and Numbers PCSO
Laura Simpson has asked that all householders be contacted to ensure that
their house name and/or number is clearly displayed on their property so
that, in an emergency, members of the Emergency Services can find the
address quickly. Litter Concern
has been expressed about the amount of litter which is being left around
the village. Those responsible
for littering are requested to use the bins provided or take it home,
It is a criminal offence to litter. If you are caught the fixed
penalty is at least a £50 fine. Dennis
Midgeley Dennis
and his wife Janet came to Cridling Stubbs six years ago for the peace and
quiet of village life. There
are those reading this who will never have known Dennis who was, as a
result of an accident when he was
young, disabled and went out by car or wheelchair.
What a treat they missed! Dennis
was a true “Scouser” who thrived on visitors, a laugh and a joke or a
serious discussion, when it was called for.
His huge tropical fish tanks were a source of joy.
Good music, his collections of books, trains, swords and pocket
watches enabled him to feel fulfilled and enjoy his days.
Sitting outside in the better weather, he enjoyed the company of
his friends and neighbours for a natter. It
came as a great shock to be diagnosed with terminal cancer last summer and
to be given only a short time to live.
He surpassed his doctors’ expectations but suffered greatly.
Janet cared for Dennis wonderfully well at home, with the help of
the District Nurses and his time in the Prince of Wales Hospice brought
him relief and rest. When
Janet and Dennis renewed their marriage vows in the Hospice Chapel it was
a day of love and happiness. Through
the loving care of the staff and Chaplaincy team he found an inner peace
and acceptance. Dennis died
peacefully in the Hospice on 18 Feb 2009. RIP. Congratulations Congratulations
to Alex Roberts who celebrated her First Communion at St Joseph’s
Church, Castleford earlier this month. Cridling
Stubbs Village Hall Recent
events have clearly shown that Cridling Stubbs Village Hall really should
be saved and restored. It is
the only amenity left in the village and in an emergency situation, is
potentially the only refuge in a 3 mile radius.
It forms part of the Cridling Stubbs Emergency Plan and the only
place where the young people are able to meet in safety. The
Cridling Stubbs Village Hall Management Committee’s AGM will be held on
Tuesday 4th August at 6.30pm. Trustees
of this registered charity will be elected for the forthcoming year.
Please come along and show your support. In
the short term. the toilet block needs another
“emergency
facelift” (who’s up for a bit of scraping and emulsioning?) and in the
long term, it could again be the thriving and viable hub of the village.
Hopefully, 2009 might just be the year the tide turns to assure the
future of this Victorian neighbour. The
fourth Produce Show will be held on Sunday 23rd August in the village
hall. Further details will be
available shortly. In the
meantime please keep weeding, hoeing, feeding, (legitimate) muck-spreading
or whatever it is green fingered folks do to get superb results.
