Following the great success of the Phil Beer concert last year, we are delighted to announce that Phil’s partner in “Show of Hands”, Steve Knightly will be appearing at the village hall on Friday 27th April (doors will open at 7.30).

Steve is the song writing force behind Show of Hands who are widely acclaimed as the finest acoustic roots duo in England with 3 sell out Royal Albert Hall concerts behind them and the award of the BBC Folk Award for their song – Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed. They also won the best duo award in the same year.

This should prove to be a highly successful concert with tickets going fast. If you want to get a taster of what Steve.’s music is like, log onto the band’s website where there are examples of the fine work that they produce – www.showofhands.co.uk

BBC2s Mike Harding has described this Exeter based performer as “one of England’s greatest song writers” and MOJO wrote “Steve Knightley’s songs have developed such an edge it’s hard to deny them any longer”.

This will be a concert not to be missed. Tickets are restricted to 200 only. The cost is £15 (adults) and £10 (children 7 – 16)

Tickets may be bought from the Postcard Cafe (cash or cheque only) or call on 0114 285 1235

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

The following alert has been received by the local group:

Alert Subject: Spare wheel thefts

There appears to be a spate of vehicle crime where Ford Transit

vans are specifically being targeted for their spare wheels which are

located underneath the vehicle and the wire holding them in place

can be cut. One BT worker who was spoken to didn‘t report the

first one, however, a day later after having just been replaced, it

was then stolen again and he then let the Police know.

However, when he went to replace it he was queuing with 10 other

colleagues who had all been victims of this type of crime.

Most of the thefts are within the Sheffield and Rotherham areas.

A light-hearted but true tale of the present ‗bus service‘

By Keith Willmott of Stannington

The last few months, been in a

state,

Buses missing, running late.

Stood waiting down at Smithy

Bridge,

Is that a bus coming o‘er the

ridge.

Quite often they are breaking down,

It‘s hilly here, not flat like town.

We need a bus that will not feign,

Climbing up as steep as Woodfall

Lane.

Let‘s hope that if there are some cuts,

After all the ifs and buts,

There‘ll be a service running true

On routes 61 and 62.

GET OUT OF THE CAR!

(This item is supposedly a true account recorded in the Police Log of Saratosa, Florida)

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and upon returning to her

car, found four males in the act of

leaving with her vehicle.

She dropped her shopping bags and

drew her handgun, proceeding to

scream at the top of her lungs, ―I have a gun, and I know how to use

it! Get out of the car!‖

The four men didn‘t wait for a

second threat They got out and ran

like mad.

The lady, somewhat shaken, then

proceeded to load her shopping bags

into the back of the car and got into the driver‘s seat. She was so shaken

that she could not get her key into

the ignition.

She tried and tried, and then she realised why. It was for the same

reason she had wondered why there

was a football, a Frisbee and two

12-packs of beer in the front seat.

A few minutes later she found her

own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags

into the car and drove to the police

station to report her mistake.

The sergeant to whom she told the

story couldn‘t stop laughing.

He pointed to the other end of the

counter, where four pale men were

reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white,

less than five feet tall, wearing

glasses, curly white hair and carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed.

And the moral of the story?

If you are going to have a senior moment …

make it memorable.

If you are going to have a senior moment …

make it memorable.

I‘m on a Committee! Oh, give me your pity—I‘m on a committee Which means that from morning

to night We attend and amend, and contend and defend Without a conclusion

in sight. We compose and propose We suppose and oppose, and the points

of procedure are fun. But though various notions are brought up as motions There‘s terribly little gets done. We confer and concur, we defend and

demur We reiterate all of our thoughts. We revive the agenda with frequent

addenda and consider a load of reports. We resolve and absolve but we never dissolve.

Since it‘s out of the question for us What a chattering pity to

end our Committee Where else could we make such a fuss?

WALKING

Walking can add minutes to

your life, This enables you at

95 years old to spend an

additional 5 months in a nursing

home at £2,000 per month.

I have to walk early in the

morning, before my brain

figures out what I‘m doing.

Every time I hear the dirty

word ‗exercise‘ I wash my

mouth out with chocolate.

The advantage of exercising

every day is so when you die,

they‘ll say, ―Well, she looks

good doesn‘t she‖.

I know I got a lot of exercise

the last few years … just

getting over the hill.

My grandpa started walking five

miles a day when he was 60. Now

he‘s 97 years old and we don‘t

know where he is.

Every time I start thinking too

much about how I look,

I just find a Happy Hour

and by the time I leave,

I look just fine.

The only reason I would take up

walking is so that I could hear

heavy breathing again.

I joined a health club last year,

spent about 250 quid. Haven‘t

lost a pound. Apparently

you have to go there.

I do have flabby thighs,

but fortunately my stomach

covers them.

If you are going to try

cross-country skiing, start

with a small country.

We all get heavier as we get older,

because there‘s a lot more

information in our heads. That‘s

my story and I‘m sticking to it.

Sir David Jason has gone from actor to director for

his latest project, taking the helm on the pilot of a

new sitcom ―Pearly Gates‖ about a firm of

undertakers, and part of the action was recently

filmed in High Bradfield. Below are some images

from the day.

―In a graveyard near Huddersfield, strange things are

happening. Four people in undertakers' top hats and

tails are hiding with a coffin behind a tomb after

arriving at a church: the wrong church as it turns out:

and gate-crashing a wedding.‖
