SKILLSHARE @ HUDSON HOUSE

Following a successful season of courses

which allow experts in a particular field to

pass on their skills to others, SkillShare

will resume activities after the summer

break. If you have any ideas for courses,

or would like to give others the benefit of

your own expertise, please contact us on

[email protected].

The scheme started in October 2012, and

courses have covered a wide range of

interests. For those with a technical bent

we have included photography, map-

reading and navigation, computing, and

astronomy. Taster sessions in handicrafts

have included flower arranging, rag-rug

making, basic quilting, bead-threading and

beauty treatments. On the musical front

there was a “singing for pleasure” morning,

and learners’ ukulele tuition.

We are especially grateful to those

talented experts who have led these

sessions and passed across their knowledge

so proficiently. Now we just need your

ideas to form a programme for the coming

autumn; perhaps developments from earlier

subjects or new ideas such as archaeology,

public speaking or sketching.

Reeth and District

Community Sports Club Limited

Registered Charity

Number 1129787 (CRN 6730364)

We are concerned at the sudden and quite

unacceptable increase in dog muck fouling

on the Athletic Field. It is not reasonable

to have to clear dog muck before every

cricket match or other proper usage of

the field. The Sports Company would

remind everyone:

This is a private field.

No dogs are allowed.

No one, whether from Reeth, the

Caravan Site or elsewhere has any right

of access over this land or down to the

river. There is no public right of way

whatsoever over the land.

Sporting rights are reserved to the

Company. Permission to fish should be

made to the local angling club.

The facility, including the field is made

available for sports or other agreed

recreational use to affiliated bodies and to

others by agreement. NEW MINISTERS

On Saturday 6th July at 3pm, the new

minister for Reeth Evangelical

Congregational Church, Rev. David Levell,

will be inducted at a service in the Church.

All are welcome.

On Saturday 17th July the Induction of

the Reverends Hilary and Stephen

Collinson to the URC Tees Swale Pastorate

will take place in Northgate URC Church,

Darlington at 2.30pm. All welcome

CHRISTIAN AID

Thank you very much indeed to everyone

for their support for Christian Aid Week.

The House-to House Collection in May, the

Service at St Mary’s Church,

Arkengarthdale together with the Coffee

Morning at the Drop-In and the Produce

Stall on the Green raised a total of

£2745.50. The Coffee Morning and

Produce Stall were particularly well

supported. Thank you all for your

generosity.

The House -to-House Collection for each

area was as follows:

The focus for our collection this year was

Christian Aid’s work in three countries. In

the south of Zimbabwe, Christian Aid’s

Partner, Dabane Trust, has helped to build

a sand dam, transforming not only their

harvests but the life of the whole

community. A project in Kenya is providing

weather forecasts by text messages to

mobile phones to help farmers make

better decisions about what to grow and

when to plant it. A project in Bolivia is

securing rights to the land where people

of the Amazon rain forest have lived for

generations. Thanks to your support, prayers and donations, Christian Aid partner organisations are helping to rebuild lives and livelihoods in these countries.

We are encouraged to support the ‘Enough

Food for Everyone IF Campaign’. The

campaign tackles 4 issues head on: aid,

tax, land and transparency. We can

overcome hunger IF:

Aid is used to help the poorest people

feed themselves.

We stop big companies dodging tax in poor

countries.

We stop poor farmers being forced off

their land.

We force governments and big

corporations to be honest and

transparent about their actions.

More details can be found on www.christianaid.org.uk

BRIC-A-BRAC STALL

A Bric-a-Brac stall will be held for

Christian Aid on Friday 19th July on Reeth

Green. Contributions for the stall are

welcome. If you would like any items

collected please ring Susan Allison on

REETH & GUNNERSIDE SCHOOLS

Our School Family

After a very busy and very successful

year, (we have just been awarded the

nationally recognized ICT Quality Mark for

our excellence in ICT teaching) we arrive

at the point in the year when we say our

goodbyes. Our Year 5 and 6 children will be

performing their end of year concert at

Reeth Memorial Hall on Monday 15th July,

6.00pm and Tuesday 16th July, 6.15pm; this

year’s production is “Wind in the Willows”.

Please do come along and watch either

performance

This year, children will leave us to transfer

to Richmond School and to The

Wensleydale School. Some members of

staff will be leaving us too. Some go

because they are at the end of a fixed

term contract and sometimes teachers

leave because they have got a job in

another school and are progressing up the

career ladder.

As people move on I tell all the children

and staff that they must think of each

other as part of our big school family.

Sometimes in a family people move away to

take on a new job, to study in a new place

or to accept a new challenge but that does

not mean they are no longer part of our

family. Wherever they go and however far

away, they are ‘one of ours’ and we

continue to watch with pride as they make

their way in the world. Like any family

waiting back at home we love to hear from

those who are away from our day-to-day

lives and to see them again on celebration

days and get-togethers.

And just like a family, we do not think of

these moves to new schools, new towns or

new responsibilities with anything except

pride in the individuals and love for the

family as a whole. Whoever you are and

wherever you go we will always think of you

and have your welfare in our hearts. So go

out there, be a success and most of all BE

HAPPY!

Linda Cork and staff.

go free and there is free off-road parking.

Proceeds will be shared between local good

causes.


REETH & THE TOUR DE FRANCE

In July 2014 the Tour de France comes to

Swaledale. This "once in a lifetime" event,

on a scale so massive that is hard to

comprehend, will be publicised

worldwide. One thing is certain: it will not

be "business as usual" for anyone in

Swaledale on 5 July 2014. At the

Swaledale & Arkengarthdale Business

Forum meeting held on 11 June at the CB

Inn, it was agreed that a number of issues

need to be considered at a local level by

the various communities of Swaledale. The

intention is that interested parties in

Reeth will meet on a monthly basis over

the next 12 months with the aim of trying

to make this a fantastic experience for

all, whilst at the same time ensuring that

concerns are addressed and information is

made available to residents of Reeth as

well as visitors. Please watch out for the

posters and come along to the meetings.

THE 2 DALES LUNCH CLUBS will be holding a fund raising

Cake & Produce Stall

CHURCH LADIES WITH TYPEWRITERS.

Those wonderful Church Bulletins! Thank

Goodness for church ladies with

typewriters. These sentences (with all the

BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church

bulletins :

The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes

meals …..

The sermon this morning: Jesus Walks on

the Water.

The sermon tonight: Searching for Jesus

Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale.

It's a chance to get rid of those things not

worth keeping around the house.

Bring your husbands Don't let worry kill you off - let the

Church help. Remember in prayer the many who are sick

of our community.

Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say

'Hell' to someone who doesn't care much

about you

Mrs. Bonnie Talley sang 'I will not pass this

way again,' giving obvious pleasure to the

congregation.

Next Thursday there will be tryouts for

the choir. They need all the help they can

get. Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were

married on October 24 in the church. So

ends a friendship that began in

their school days.

At the evening service tonight, the sermon

topic will be 'What Is Hell?' Come early

and listen to our choir practice.

Eight new choir robes are currently

needed due to the addition of several new

members and to the deterioration of

some older ones.

Scouts are saving aluminium cans, bottles

and other items to be recycled. Proceeds

will be used to cripple children. The church will host an evening of fine

dining, super entertainment and gracious

hostility

Potluck supper Sunday at 5pm - prayer and

medication to follow.

This evening at 7pm there will be a hymn

singing in the park across from the Church.

B r i n g a b l a n k e t a n d c o m e

prepared to sin.

Weight Watchers will meet at 7pm at the

F i r s t P r e s b y t e r i a n C h u r c h .

Please use large double door at the side

entrance.

And my favourite:

The Associate Minister unveiled the

church's new campaign slogan last Sunday:

"I Upped My Pledge - Up Yours".

RESTORATION WORK COMPLETED AT

ST. MARY’S CHURCH,

ARKENGARTHDALE

The recent completion of the internal

decoration of the church saw the

conclusion of a five-year period of

restoration at St. Mary’s. The building is

very nearly 200 years old and substantial

repairs were carried out at a cost of about

£250,000 to prepare the Grade II listed

church for the next 200 years on its site

above Arkle Beck.

Work has included the repair and

restoration of the main east window and

the north and south side windows,

replacement of the roof slates and

insulation of the ceiling, installation of a

new boiler and complete replacement of

the wiring, repairs to the internal

plasterwork and full repainting.

The Bishop of Knaresborough visited the

church recently for a Confirmation

Service, and waxed lyrical over the appeal

of the freshness and light of the interior.

Raising £250,000 is a major exercise and

St. Mary’s District Church Council wishes

to thank all who have contributed to allow

the work to be carried out. English

Heritage gave generous grants amounting

to about 60% of the overall cost, and

other monies came from Trusts supporting

the maintenance of religious buildings. The

DCC is particularly grateful for the

support from many local people who have

given donations and supported fund-raising

events, which together generated around

£80,000 towards the overall cost.

WINDOWS 8.1 ON THE WAY SOON

A major upgrade to Windows 8 will be

coming soon, imaginatively called Windows

8.1. It will be publicly available as a

‘preview’ version from June 26th. If you

really want to see what’s new you can use

the preview version but be warned if you

try it you will need to reinstall Windows

from scratch and all you apps and desktop

applications to upgrade to the final version

of 8.1 when it is finally released. I would

advise holding on and waiting for the final

version to be released properly and avoid

the hassles. This will all happen through

the Windows App store. The first question

most people ask is ‘have they put back the

missing Start button on the desktop’. Well

the answer is yes and no. They have put a

“Start” button of sorts but it does not

show a start menu like it used to in

Windows – instead it takes you back to the

colour tiles pages, but it appears to also

allow you to go to a list view of apps if you

want. Microsoft are being cagey about the

details of how the new Start button will

work but my guess is that it will be used to

‘encourage’ you back to the tiles because

that is where Microsoft anticipate making

a lot of money. They really want to wean

users away from the old desktop (no money

for MS). Having said that most people I

meet prefer to use the desktop on a PC or

a laptop. If, like me, you want to use the

traditional desktop as your main screen

and you would like a normal Start button

with a start menu I recommend a third

party program called Start8 which is

produced by www.stardock.com. This

makes Windows look, work and feel very

much like Windows 7 and if you don’t want

to you never have to see the tile again. At

$5 it is well worth investigating (there is

even a free trial version so you can try

before you buy). So what else is there to

look forward to in Windows 8.1 … well a

new version of Internet Explorer (version

11) which they claim is a lot faster. It

needs to be because current versions are

lamentably slow compared to Google

Chrome and Firefox. There are other

enhancements coming but having watch a

Microsoft presentation they mostly seem

cosmetic changes aimed at letting people

customise things a bit more. Final words –

warning …

1) Scams seem to be doing the rounds still,

especially telephone cold calling. I have

had a number of people ask me about

phone scams this month. Please don’t let

people you don’t know con you into letting

them into your computer or get your card

details.

2) Yahoo and BT still seem to be having

real problems with their email systems.

Hackers are still breaking into accounts

and sending out loads of spam to your

address book. It is really too bad as this

has been going on for over a year. A

number of people contacted me about this

– there is nothing you can really do except

complain to BT or Yahoo if you are

affected and change your password. The

only alternative is to change your email

address.

That’s it for this month. As always do drop

me an email via my website

(www.dalescomputerservices.com) if you

have a question or comment. Carol Haynes

BEAUTY OF THE YORKSHIRE DALES

IN THE FRAME

Stunning photographs of wildlife in the

Yorkshire Dales will be on show in a special

exhibition in Bainbridge over the summer.

The Yoredale offices of the Yorkshire

Dales National Park Authority will be

displaying images from Carperby-based

wildlife photographer Simon Phillpotts

(correct). His exhibition will be the latest

in a series staged in the reception area of

the offices, which are open between

8.30am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

Richard Burnett, the Authority’s Director

of Corporate Services, said: “Simon has

produced some amazing photographs that

capture many of the special qualities of

this National Park. “We hope they will be

of interest to everyone who comes into the

offices over the next two months.” Simon

has recently appeared on BBC's

Countryfile and is in the Series 3 of ITV's

'The Dales' with Ade Edmondson. He is

also a co-founder of the community-led

Wensleydale Red Squirrel Group

(www.wensleydalersg.co.uk), which aims to

conserve and expand the range of Red

Squirrels in the Yorkshire Dales. He runs

Wild Dales Photography with his wife

Sarah, producing wildlife images, prints

and greetings cards and running

photographic workshops and short break

holidays in the area. “The Dales provide an

amazing variety of wildlife habitats, which

means I never have far to travel for some

of some favourite subjects such as Red

Squirrel, Grouse, Dipper and Hare,” he

said. His images have been highly

commended in the British Wildlife

Photography Awards and appear regularly

in the national and local press, in magazines

and on greetings cards, including for the

RSPB, RSPCA and Friends of the Earth.

The exhibition will run from May 31 to

August 1.

WE’VE DONE IT AGAIN!

The Dales Countryside Museum in

Hawes has won a top national award for

the way it looks after its visitors – for the

second year running. The Museum, which is

owned by the Yorkshire Dales National

Park Authority (YDNPA), has yet again

been officially recognised as a tourist top

spot by Visit England and has been

awarded its Visitor Attraction Quality

Assurance Scheme mark. The scheme is

managed by Visit England and involves a

network of regional assessors who make

site inspection visits. Museum manager

Fiona Rosher said: “It’s really good news

that we have been given the quality mark

for a second time. “It’s a tribute to all the

staff and volunteers who work so hard to

make the Museum a dynamic place to visit

and maintain the high standards of displays

and exhibits. “We are constantly

developing the Museum’s potential as a

major attraction in Hawes and the

surrounding area, and the award is a

reflection of that hard work.” Ian

McPherson, the YDNPA’s Member

Champion for Promoting Understanding,

said: “The Museum is a treasure trove of

exhibitions and features that bring the

Dales past and present to life. On top of

that, it is constantly providing a wide range

of interactive activities that gives its

visitors the chance to learn and

understand more about the people and the

beautiful yet fragile landscape of the

National Park.”

been seen in Arkengarthdale and there was

also a reported attempt break-in to a an

outbuilding in the area. Any persons and

vehicles dealing with scrap can all be

checked by Trading Standards to see if

they are legitimate. More motorists face

NEW FACES

Gayle Mill’s heritage education and

training project which began over 2 years

ago has been successfully managed and

delivered by Samantha Jennings. The

opportunity for schools to visit Gayle Mill

and learn about its significance in local

history, textile manufacture, electricity

generation and wood working has proved to

be popular with pupils, parents and

teachers alike. These enjoyable visits

have been tailored in line with the National

Curriculum with specific reference to

History, Science, Art, Design and

Technology. Samantha has also visited

schools either at their assembly or for a

specific class to demonstrate how water

power works with a model. The project is

also popular with young people and adults

who have enhanced their knowledge of

traditional crafts through various

demonstrations and hands on workshops.

Everyone associated with Gayle Mill wishes

Samantha well as she is soon to begin her

maternity leave. In order to complete the

project (whilst Samantha is otherwise

occupied) additional funding has been

sourced from the Yorkshire Dales LEADER

programme to employ two part time staff.

Sue Stokes and Laura Hodgson will work

together to enable Gayle Mill to deliver

the rest of the programme. William

Lambert, Chairman of Gayle Mill Trust

said; ‘We all wish Samantha well as she

moves on to a new chapter in her life, and

welcome Laura and Sue to the team. We

are very excited to see the LEADER

project through to its completion this

December.’ Sue has been involved in with

Gayle Mill Trust in recent years as a

volunteer and will mainly be working on

running the Heritage Skills events at the

Mill. Laura is new to the team; she lives in

Richmond with her two young sons and will

mainly be running the education side of the

project, working with local schools. There

are a variety of heritage skills courses

planned at the mill for the rest of the year

including blacksmithing, stone slate

roofing, printing a cotton bag and other

heritage crafts. You can book a course or

plan a school visit by contacting Sue or

Laura at Gayle Mill on 01969 667320 .

As we move into the short close season,

we put out a final plea for more coaching

support. If you are passionate about

football and want to put something back

into the game for the youngsters and can

give one evening, probably Friday, and

Sunday mornings to coach/manage a team

please contact us otherwise we are going

to have to turn away children who want to

play football. You would have to undergo a

CRB check. Arm chair footballers are also

most welcome to help with administration.

We do provide appropriate training.

We also welcome new players, particularly

those who will be under 10 on 1st

September for whom we have excellent

coaching available

DALES CRICKET CLUB –

great start- great sponsors!

Our local cricket club has made one of

their most successful starts to the season

in the Darlington and District League. At

the end on May they remain unbeaten and

have progressed into the semi final of the

league cup! The recent win over local rivals

Barningham was particularly sweet and all

players strove hard to ensure a

comfortable and sound victory. Solid

performances from many players have

been responsible for this success but

mention needs making of the contributions

from Chris Hardwick both with the ball

and bat and from Jon Simpson, Nigel

Winter and Tom Hollingsworth, apologies

for not mentioning others. The inclusion

this season of Sam Winter who was barred

due to age last season gives support for

the youth initiative of the club. His skills

shown for the Yorkshire Under 12’s will

hopefully be passed to the more senior

club players (one hopes). There is an air of

anticipation and close camaraderie this

season and it is of note that the number of

sponsors has also increased giving the club

a more stable financial footing. You may

have noticed the promotional sign for the

club on the Reeth Bridge which details the

names of sponsors for each home game.

Local businesses (and indeed residents)

who show financial support for this long

established local club are now rewarded

by having details of their business

displayed on this board and also on a

similar board at the cricket field.

The club has a new website at

www.DalesCricketClub.co.uk ; where all club

news including fixtures, results, photos,

sponsors, a blog and much more can be

found.

We would like to thank our sponsors for

this season so far who are: Rowena

Hutchinson, (Red Lion, Langthwaite),

Norman Brown Estate Agents and Harvey

Robinson (Reeth Garage -Arkengarthdale

Road).

Any business or individual wishing to

consider sponsorship or supporting the

club by other means is asked to contact

the secretary, Pete McKay on 884675 or

[email protected]

SWALEDALE

MOUNTAIN RESCUE & CAVE RESCUE TEAM


THE SWALEDALE MUSEUM in Reeth The July Friends of the Museum talk will be

on Wednesday 17th (NOT on 10th as

previously advertised) by Andre Berry who

will be looking at local peat spades.

Commercial-scale peat cutting on lowland

bogs has frequently made the headlines in

recent years because of concerns about the

damage to internationally important wildlife

and its habitats. As part of the annual cycle

of land use, however, hand peat cutting was

simply part of everyday life for centuries;

because of this, its scale and the significant

changes it made to our landscape are often

overlooked. This talk will look at the tools,

techniques and landscapes of hand peat

cutting, with a focus on the Yorkshire

Dales, but encompassing northern England

more generally and Wales. Although trained

as an Agricultural Botanist, André Berry

has spent most of his career advising on the

management of archaeological sites and

historic landscapes. So if you have a peat

spade bring it along! Our August talk is on

7th by Stephen Eastmead who will

introduce the new online digital archive

online. Stephen has scanned our large

collection of local photographs onto our

archive website, and will be selecting a

range for your edification and delight! We

hope to update our information via audience

response! The third of three seminars on

objects found locally that give special

insight into the history of Swaledale and

Arkengarthdale is on Saturday 6th July

looking at Medieval Glass Fragments from

Marrick Priory deposited in the Swaledale

Museum by the Rev. Bailey in 1978, and

simply described as ‘Medieval Glass from

Marrick Priory’. The sessions will take

place in the Swaledale Museum, Reeth:

the Museum at 10.30 am followed by

presentations and discussion, and finish at

12.30. Tickets: £10 in advance; (£8 to

Museum) £12 on the door, includes

admission to the Museum, coffee and tea,

a Programme of Visits working in

conjunction with the Reeth & District

Community Bus. On Saturday 13th July we

will be following up Dr Hope’s tour of Dr

Speirs’s medical bag with a visit to the

York Medical Society. Hidden away in the

heart of York many will have passed this

beautiful building by. Guided by Drs Hope

& Scott we will have the opportunity not

only to see the elegant historic rooms, but

also to see their rare and varied collection

of medical implements. On 10th August we

will be visiting the Lindisfarne Gospels

exhibition in York, and on 7th September

the Earby Museum of Lead Mining near

Skipton with a special guided tour by Dave

GROWING NATIVE PLANTS FOR

LOCAL WILDLIFE PROJECTS.

Native plants grown locally from seed

collected from plants growing locally are

the best possible plants for planting out

in wildlife projects. Would you and others

you know be interested in collecting,

sowing and growing on seeds from plants in

the local area? The basic idea at the

moment is for people to grow small,

manageable quantities of plants at home or

where they have space. The amount and

type of involvement will be up to you and so

long as we can co-ordinate everyone’s

efforts then we should be able to match up

projects with plants. The plants can be

grown for specific projects or for more

general availability and if people are

growing small amounts based on the space

they have available then a project may be

supplied with plants from a number of

different growers. Comprehensive advice,

practical help and demonstrations can be

organised. Depending on the levels of

interest and the number of people wanting

to be involved it may be possible to develop

larger growing projects so if you are keen

on helping to maintain and or enhance

wildlife habitats in the National Park this

may be a way that you can contribute and

it is accessible to everyone of any age and

ability. Funding is likely to be available

from the Parish Wildlife Project fund and

depending on the levels of interest further

funding could also be sought from other

sources. If you are interested please

contact me and we will see what we can

organise. Mark Hewitt Wildlife

NEW WEBSITE SHOWCASES NATIONAL PARK’S NATURAL WORLD Local information on the flora and fauna found in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is now available on a new website. Called ‘Nature in the Dales’, it has been created for anyone interested in wildlife and wildlife conservation in the National Park from visitors and naturalists to professionals and students. And it has already won the praise of TV presenter and environmental campaigner Prof David Bellamy. Nature in the Dales is the website of the Yorkshire Dales Biodiversity Forum. It is hosted by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA), which also funded the design work, and its content has been written and illustrated by a wide range of organisations and individuals – the very people who love this landscape. The website – at www.natureinthedales.org.uk –showcases local information about 150 of the species and 14 of the habitats found in the special landscape of the National Park accompanied by 300 stunning images. generously donated by local naturalists, landowners, visitors, academics and conservation professionals.
