York Group: Fast Track Boundless.Co.Uk/York Special Edition May 2017 York Group: Fast Track boundless.co.uk/York Special Edition May 2017 Secretary: Janice Stace TelephoneEditi: 01757 706981 [email protected] Secretary Introducing your Local Boundless Group This special edition of our Fast Track newsletter is to introduce Boundless York Group and invite you and your friends to enjoy a very warm welcome at any of our events in the near future. During the warmer months, we organise a programme of monthly visits and events that are either free to attend or very attractively priced (i.e. on a non-profit basis). We also try where we can to include something special: perhaps an exclusive guided tour, access “behind the scenes” or some other opportunity not normally available to the general public. Overleaf you will find details of our forthcoming summer events, including how to book. Through the autumn and winter we move indoors for a programme of Club Night evenings of interesting speakers and other entertainments. These are held on the last Wednesday of the month at the Riverside Farm Inn on the Shipton Road (to the north of York City Centre near the junction of the A19 and the A1237 Northern Ring Road). We start at 8pm and our gatherings last up to an hour and a half. Regularly attracting 40 plus members and their friends from around York and further afield, these Club nights are free to attend unless otherwise stated. There is no need to book in advance and there is plenty of free parking at the venue. Light refreshments and a very warm welcome are also provided free of charge. All this is included in your existing Boundless membership. There is no separate “membership” of York Group: just an open invitation to come along and enjoy as many of the events as you wish. You are welcome to bring partners and/or other guests if you like. Our aim is to provide a programme that covers a wide and diverse range of interests including, we hope, something for everyone. Please feel free to give me a call if you want to know anything more. We hope you will also join our free mailing list to be kept informed of future events via our newsletter that we issue three times a year. We hope to see you soon. Kind Regards Janice Upcoming Events York Theatre Royal – A Clubnight Talk Wednesday 24th May 2017 A member of the Theatre Royal in York will give a talk on the history of the theatre and the exciting renovations that have been carried out in the last two years.

I am indebted to him for continuing to supervise my work even after he left Sheffield to take a Chair at Durham University. Following Anthony's departure from Sheffield, Professor Patrick Collinson and Dr Mark Greengrass kindly became my surrogate supervisors.

  • Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Held On
    ALLERTON MAULEVERER WITH HOPPERTON PARISH MEETING MINUTES OF THE GENERAL MEETING HELD ON SATURDAY 25TH MARCH 2017 AT THE MASONS ARMS 1. Apologies: A Parkin, Y and R Arntsen, P Craddock, P Lumb (P Lumb has asked the Clerk to point out to the meeting that she will no longer attend following the comments made to her by some Members at the last meeting.) 2. Minutes of the Last Meeting: The Clerk went through the last Minutes and updated those present with any actions taken. 3. Water Table, Flooding and Overflowing Septic Tanks: The over flowing septic tank at the Homestead is currently being dealt with following intervention by Harrogate Borough Council. The Clerk informed Members as to the progress of a scheme to control flooding and speed up drainage within Hopperton. It appears that any scheme covering the whole of Hopperton would be extremely expensive and quite complex. It may therefore be easier to deal with individual areas as they arise. The Clerk is taking advice from drainage Consultants recommended by other Parishes. 4. Flaxby Developments: An application has been submitted regarding the Flaxby Business Park. The plans were studied and the Clerk was asked to submit concerns regarding local infrastructure in both relation to this, the Allerton Waste Recovery Plant and proposed housing on the redundant Golf Course. The Clerk was also requested to raise concerns about the A168/A1 corridor becoming a development zone. 5. Allerton Waste Recovery Plant: Members raised their concerns at the sheer size of the building and its “silver blob reflection” which is visible from many miles away.

It sets out a proposal for a sustainable eco-lodge complex on the former Flaxby Golf Course. Given its previous use, the Site has clear capacity to accommodate sensitively planned tourism development. Indeed, in 2013 prior to the closure of the Golf Course, the Council granted planning permission (LPA Ref: 09/01788/FUL) for the “erection of hotel and golf club house with access road, car park and installation of reed bed system with alterations to the A59 Public Highway.” The permitted hotel building was substantial in scale, extending to 298 bedrooms over 5 storeys and 26,419 sqm of floor space. Thus, demonstrating the appropriateness of the Site as a tourist destination and that the Site is able to accommodate further development.
