All residents are welcome to attend. Village
Hall Thanks
to the efforts of an enthusiastic group of residents, the village hall is
in the throes of yet another
facelift.
Much of the kitchen has already been re-painted and with new
curtains and light shades, it is scarcely recognisable.
The men's toilet is the scene of some serious on-going demolition
work. Should anyone feel they
have time and expertise to spare, they will be very welcome.
No payments are made but a copious supply of tea and coffee and
sometimes home-made cake is available. The annual Cridling Stubbs Produce Show will be held in the hall on Sunday 23rd August. Entries should be brought to the hall between 10.00am and 12.00 noon. The fee for adult entries is 50p and 25p for children. After the Judges have done their bit, the public will be admitted at 4pm for viewing, when refreshments will be served. The produce will be auctioned at 5pm. Cash only but deliveries can be arranged should the produce on offer reach gigantic proportions. Please come along with bulging wallets and purses to support this event as all proceeds are used for maintenance of the building.
The
mobile library will be in the village at 9.40am on Thursday 27 August and
the village hall will again be open for coffee, tea and home-made baking.
As word spreads, these coffee mornings are becoming more and more
successful. Warm apple pie
with whipped cream, chocolate brownies, coffee cake, butterfly buns and
fresh cream scones were served last time. The next menu is currently
undecided but Cridling Stubbs-grown fruit, free range eggs and preserves
will definitely feature. If
you are not able to stay for coffee, calories and a chat, why not call in
and buy to eat later? Obstructing
the Pavement Several householders have overhanging trees and bushes which are forcing pedestrians onto the road. Please be aware, it is a householder’s legal responsibility to prevent their vegetation being a hazard. Highways North Yorkshire will take action and send you a bill if they have to do the work themselves. Please also be aware that pavements are for people and parking on them is both illegal and potentially dangerous. This offence carries a fixed penalty ticket of £30.
Thank
you in anticipation of your co-operation in these matters. Joint
Action Group JAG Cridling
Stubbs residents turned out in force at Kellington for the last JAG
meeting earlier this month. As
a direct result of the problems they raised - speeding traffic, accidents,
dangerous junctions, poor road surface etc. - Cridling Stubbs was made one
of two priority areas to be targeted
for action by the appropriate authorities. (Speeding on the A19 at Whitley
was the other). This
means that North Yorkshire Police, Fire & Rescue Service, Highways,
Selby District Council and other bodies will make a concerted effort to
overcome the problems raised. Inspector
Abbott stressed the importance of people keeping their car keys secure, in
order to prevent “2 in 1 burglaries” which is where keys are stolen
from a house and then the car itself is stolen. The
next JAG meeting will be held on 10th December at 7pm, probably at
Womersley Village Hall. All
resident are welcome to attend to raise concerns and make comments about
local issues directly to those delivering the services as well as giving
people an opportunity to be part of the solution to local concerns. Cridling
Stubbs Educational Charity Awards 2009 Award
forms have been distributed this week and must be returned by 15th
September. Contact District
Councillor Gillian Ivey on 620110 if you have any queries.
As the two remaining trustees of this scheme, huge thanks are due
to her and John Vause for the time and effort they have spent in sorting
out the difficulties caused by the resignation of the previous trustees
and the unauthorised distribution of incorrect forms. Electricity
Supply CE
Electric, suppliers of electricity in Yorkshire, maintain a database
containing information on customers who have a particular electrical
dependency. This includes the
elderly, disabled, those suffering from a chronic illness or dependant on
dialysis, ventilators or specially designed beds or chairlifts.
To register your details you can contact CE Electric direct on 0800
169 2996 or contact Lynda Walker who has a supply of forms. Children’s
Activities The
Cridling Stubbs Youth Club continues to run thanks to the volunteers who
willingly give up their Saturday evenings from 6-8pm to support the
youngsters. Since
everyone was fed-up with “most
items in a match box”, this
year’s produce show has new children’s categories.
Hopefully scarecrows, dinosaurs and hats will eliminate the dead
insect and toenail type of items which had been known to lurk in the match
boxes. Doubtless the judges
will be more than relieved! Following
critical acclaim of its first
production, Cinderella The Pantomusical, it is anticipated that rehearsals
for Peter Pan will start shortly. Anyone
interested in helping in any way, but especially with ideas of how to make
Tinkerbell fly, should call into the village hall on a Saturday evening or
see Lynda Walker. In
a new Osgoldcross Forum-backed project, Selby 4Youth have been working
with all local children to survey what provision is available locally (not
very much at the moment). Youngsters
have been busy making recordings and producing a DVD to show what is
available now and what ideas they have for future activities. The
Selby 4 Youth Bus visited the village recently when the children enjoyed a
range of activities including watching themselves on the DVD they had made
and playing badminton. (Hopefully
the young man who came too close to a badminton racket does not have too
big a bruise.) Selby
District Council’s Play Rangers visit quite regularly to provide (free)
sports activities and games for all children aged between 5 and 15 years.
Those under 8 need a parent or guardian present.
Please keep an eye on the notice board in the village hall for
further details. Contributions If
you have any information you would like to contribute to future issues of
the Cridling News please contact Bryan Crossdale on 674031.
