The Frozen Roman
Badapple are back with their professional theatre featuring the Frozen Roman.
They came, they saw, they built a wall…they went away again. Or did they? A clandestine meeting at the Phoenix pub gets heated, as the villagers rack their brains for new ways to fight the imminent housing development that threatens village life as they know it. The discovery of an ancient Roman site under foot may just throw them a lifeline if they can somehow authenticate their mysterious findings. However things aren’t always what they seem! Expect a double dose of comedy as the situations goes “ballisticus maximius” in this brand new original comedy from Kate Bramley and Badapple Theatre.

Break a leg, and there’s a strong chance the visible/physical nature of your injury will elicit sympathy and kindness from those around you. But what happens if you are afflicted with a mental illness? That can be a lonely place. Low mood and low self- esteem may isolate you already – “out of sight”. Sufferers are sometimes faced with lack of understanding of the “pull yourself together “variety, and the stigma of prejudiced attitudes and judgemental ideas. Despite the prevalence of mental illness in society, how attuned are we to spotting the signs that someone is in difficulties? Are we a listening church ? As Christians, do we know how to respond with the right kind of support, for those who are afflicted, and also their carers? As salt and light in our communities, how do we help to promote wellbeing?
John is inappropriately effusive and loud in worship services, and disturbs some of the congregation. There is concern that he could cause an accident by his abrupt movements. How does the church manage this situation?
Chloe is a young mum who used to come regularly but hasn’t been seen at church for some time. Now you learn that she was admitted to hospital following a suicide attempt. How can the church reach out to her and her family?
Marjorie has been seen to have bruising over recent months, but has passed it off as accidents. At coffee morning one day when asked how she is, she finally breaks down in tears and admits that her husband has dementia and has become aggressive.
There is increasing concern for Julia, aged 18, who has been losing weight drastically over recent months. She is about to go to University. What can the church do?
On Saturday Nov 9th the Circuit Learning and Development team has organised “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”, an opportunity for all to come together to expand what we know, and think through how we care. The day will be led by Revd Andrew Howorth who brings many years of experience in the field, and will be supported by Deacon Jenny Parnell as Chaplain. All are welcome, but pastoral visitors and church leaders will find the day particularly relevant, as we think through making church welcoming and inclusive, and keeping people safe. Also those volunteering to be befrienders for our Circuit CAP project will find this day worthwhile in helping to equip them for the role.
It would be great to share the day with people from every church and ecumenical friends too. Saturday 9th Nov Time: 10:00am for 10:15am to 3:30pm. Venue: Yeadon Methodist Church BRING A PACKED LUNCH. Drinks and cake will be available! The day is free but donations are welcomed to defray expenses. BOOK YOUR PLACE through Mike Fawcett, [email protected] Tel: 078855 85946 BOOKING DEADLINE 1st November.
For enquiries about the day contact Hilary Murden [email protected] 01943 876930

A Message from Stephen
(McCaulay)
I thought that it would be a good idea to introduce myself to you all before I arrive.
As you will know by now I will be licenced as the new Priest in Charge of the Washburn and Mid-Wharfe Benefice on Friday 11th October. You will have guessed from my name that I am Scottish. I grew up in the seaside town of Stranraer in the South-west of Scotland and went to school near to Glasgow and then Aberdeen before going to university in Spain.
I trained as a Mental Health Nurse in Glasgow and specialised in working with children and young people for almost 15 years before training for ordination. I was a Curate and then a Vicar of parishes in the city of Derby before joining the Army as a chaplain. When I ‘retired’ from the Army I became Rector of two country parishes in Kent.
I first came to Yorkshire in 1985 when I worked at a hospital in York, then I moved to St. James’ Hospital in Leeds where I met my wife, Charlotte. We married in her village church in South Yorkshire before settling in Derbyshire.
We returned to Yorkshire in 1996 moving to Mirfield where I trained
for ordination. Our daughter Becky was born while we were there. Becky spent her teenage years at school in Harrogate before going to Hull to study history.
We are all very excited to get to know you all. I’m looking forward to getting involved in as many local activities as I can. We know the area a little as Charlotte’s brother Andrew and his wife Sue have lived in Otley for around 20 years. (They ring at Otley Parish Church).
We hope to move into the Vicarage at Askwith sometime in September along with our spaniel Tally, cat Holly and our depleted flock of hens.
Until then.
Yours aye
Stephen

An Ordinary meeting of MWPC was held at Askwith Village Hall on 15th August 2019.
All parishes were represented, along with HBC Cllr Wood the Clerk and 2 members of the public.
New councilor James Bush was welcomed for the Denton parish.
Under discussion items Cllr Marston asked about hedge and grass cutting. The cutting of hedges is the responsibility of the land owner and cannot be done before the 1st September each year. Grass cutting is not done by NYCC anymore and after some discussion it was agreed that next year the council may pay for the grass in the verges to be cut probably during mid June
Under Highway matters Cllr Caton reported that the holes on Askwith bridge, Moor Lane had still not been repaired. Cllr Caton also reported that a major water leak on Church lane had caused some of the road side verge to be washed out, and asked if this could be reported to NYCC who would then pass it onto Yorkshire Water. Cllr Broderick reported that a self seed tree on the Denton road was making pulling out of Denton Lane end more difficult and could this be reported to NYCC
Cllr Chivers reported that during the Ilkley half marathon the road to Nesfield was completely closed. This caused concerns for the residents. The road on the A59 also had restricted access. After some discussion it was agreed that the Clerk should write to NYCC voicing their concerns.
Cllr Chivers reported that the lime tree on Nesfield Green had recently suffered damage and needed replacing. As this is a Common Green MWPC are responsible for
the upkeep. The cost of replacement would be in the region of £200. It was proposed Cllr Shepherd, seconded Cllr Powel and carried that a replacement should be sourced with MWPC paying the relevant cost.
The Clerk reported that all planning applications were done digitally and this was creating more work as all the relevant information was stored onto a USB stick and handed to the relevant parish. It was hoped that some parishes would be able to access the planning applications direct and so lessen the need for all the information on a USB stick.
Cllr Oldham reported that the new waste collection days and routes had not gone according to plan and if anyone had issues to contact HBC regarding this. During the last week in September the UCI World Bike Championships will be based in Harrogate which will mean various road closures and the best way to find these out were to follow the link on the HBC web site.
The annual insurance was due The Clerk had got a comparison quote from Came and Company at £330.00 and as this was higher than the current insurers Zurich it was proposed Cllr Caton, seconded Cllr Marston and resolved to renew with Zurich insurance at £309.86 Expenditure and income were then approved. Planning matters were dealt with and under any other business, Cllr Bush commented on the amount of litter left in the lay-by in Denton. No easy solution could be suggested for this apart from monitoring the situation and reporting it to the police.
The next meeting is 2ist November 2019 at Askwith Village Hall starting at 7.45pm.

Askwith With Weston WI
We're approaching the end of our 70th birthday year and we celebrated in August with lunch at the restaurant at Clevedon House. Many of our members were able to come along as well as a good few past Presidents and our guest was our Federation President, Julie Clarke, who came from Bainbridge to be with us. It was a glorious day so we could enjoy drinks on the terrace before adjourning to our dining room where we treated everyone within earshot to a rousing version of Jerusalem. The food and company were excellent, and Andrea, our President, had created a beautiful birthday cake which Julie kindly cut and gave a short speech recounting the time she had to help the Queen cut the WI's 100th birthday cake at the Royal Albert Hall a couple of years ago ! She ended by applauding our WI for being one of the best.
At our meeting this month we were delighted to welcome back Colin Alderson. Colin worked as a chef for the Royal Household and once again regaled us with a host of amusing stories and anecdotes about his time at Buckingham Palace, Sandringham and Balmoral. He hardly paused for breath as he talked about the secrets of catering for a state banquet and how everything had to be absolute perfection. The fantastic floral arrangements, the priceless china, and the military precision to which all the staff had to adhere, and he told how the Queen would al-w a y s inspect the table before the guests a r - rived and could spot the tiniest of errors. He spoke fondly of the Christmas rituals and traditions of the Royal Household, the gifts
the Queen gave to the staff and the presents they gave in return, the parties, and the enter-tainments, the dishes which were the Queen's favourites, and the little cards she sent to the chefs when she'd particularly enjoyed some-thing they'd created.
After this whirlwind look at his 'royal' life he went on to talk about the hotel he opened in Harrogate, a conversion of a large imposing terrace house which he called 'The Balmoral'. How his business expanded until the hotel oc-cupied the entire terrace, the fun he had run-ning it and the famous guests who stayed there. It was an absolutely fascinating talk and Colin is such a charming and down to earth man we were utterly transfixed.
Our next meeting on Thursday 10th October is our AGM and social evening with supper served by the Committee, and on Thursday 14th No-vember our speaker will be Patricia Clough with a talk entitled 'My Two Favourite Subjects...Men and the Theatre' which sounds very intriguing.
We're a very friendly group of women and meet on the second Thursday of the month, 7.30pm, at Askwith Village Hall and we always welcome visitors and new members from around the area. We have a monthly lunch club and walking group and outings too, in December we'll be going to East Yorkshire to visit Burton Constable Hall dressed for Christmas. If you'd like to know more you can phone Andrea Ainley on 01943 462163 or Sue Appleyard on 01943 839292, or just come along to one of our meetings.

Washburn Parish Council
At the recent Parish Council meeting the council held discussions on the status of the Kex Gill road realignment, the recent changes to the waste collection regime in the parish and consideration of the upcoming winter road programme and the location of grit piles around the parish.
An update of the Billy Lane Public Inquiry held on August 28th was provided by Cllr Andrew Campbell and the Council were informed of a Permitted Development scheme for the creation of a sub-station in Timble village.
The Council were informed that the Parish Caretaker Mr John King intends to step down from this role. With regret the Council accepted his resignation but thanked him for all his hard work and dedication over a number of years and wished him well for the future. The Council are therefore appealing for anyone interested in becoming the new Parish Caretaker to contact the Clerk in the first instance.
At the meeting the Council also reported new highways issues, responded to new planning applications received and instructed maintenance works in the Parish.
The next meeting of Washburn Parish Council will be held on Monday 4th November 2019 at the Robinson Library in Timble. Commencing at 7.30pm. Should you wish to contact any of your c o u n c i l l o r s p l e a s e e m a i l [email protected]

Cock Pit Farm Tea Rooms
We have recently been told that our lease is to be terminated. I believe that the estate is going through a period of change which means that my home and my business are being made into purely residential properties once more.
What does this mean to Cock Pit Farm Tea Rooms? Well, short term, nothing will change. In fact I need people to continue to support us as much as possible because setting up in a new location will be costly.
I can’t sell my business because I have no premises, so will take my customers fundraising, community ethos and my scones an start again nearby.
I would appreciate any suggestions for a new location, planning permission permitting obviously and any offers of help.
Eventually I may need short term storage facilities for my possessions as well as café furniture, so if you have a vacant barn???
I has been a great 10 years at Cock Pit Farm. We are a community hub for many. We welcome cyclists and walkers, dogs and anyone else with the same warm welcome. We also have a quiet room for people on the autism spectrum, people with alzheimers or just anyone wanting a quiet space.
Our customers are our friends and we need to relocate asap for them.
Thank you for all your support over the last 10 years.
Onwards and upwards, here’s to the next 10 years,
Sue.
