    Colne Valley Museum Cliffe Ash, Golcar Huddersfield HD7 4PY 01484 659762 Reg. Charity No. 1106550 www.colnevalleymuseum.org.uk Accredited Museum No. 1203 [email protected] Annual Reports to AGM April 2018 Chairman’s Report April 2018 Another year of increased activity, following the generous grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Who would have believed that we would ever finish the project, but with the help of many, the end is in sight. Fortunately, the grant was sufficient to cover unexpected extras. This has allowed us to fit new windows and have the roof fixed - that took us by surprise as the first building survey missed these problems. We now have a museum to be proud of and it should be better than ever for use in the future. We are so fortunate to have an amazing group of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to fulfil the many tasks involved in this major project. I would like to thank all of you for your support over the last few years. I would like to thank Janet Jobber in particular, as she has taken the overall responsibility for seeing the project through and has shown remarkable fortitude and persistence. There are many others that have done a superb job in sorting out what we needed, getting grants, moving stock, keeping our finances in order, and deciding where everything will go. We should now be confident that the museum is good for another 40+ years at least. We still need your support and that of any new volunteers who you can encourage to join the museum.

  • Meltham Group Practice Patient Reference Group
    Meltham Group Practice Patient Reference Group Minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 9th April 2019 1. Attendees and apologies Elizabeth Alberti, Michael Ingleby, Helen Macgregor (chair), Judith Roberts, Pamela Shelton (minute taker), Greg Smith.There were no apologies. It was noted that according to our Terms of Reference the group is not quorate unless the GP who has taken on responsibility for patient participation attends, along with three patient members and a member of the admin team. Dr Ashraf is the designated doctor; regret was expressed about his lack of regular attendance as we benefit from his extensive knowledge, especially as he is currently a member of the Greater Huddersfield CCG. As it is some time since the group last met, those present introduced themselves and indicated why they had opted to join. There was some discussion about the purpose of the group. Action: Pamela will circulate the original Terms of Reference that were agreed when the Group was first established as a face-to-face group, as opposed to a virtual group that communicated electronically. The first meeting of the Group was on 7th October 2014. 2. Matters arising from the last meeting on 17th April 2018 There was a proposal to use Facebook as a means of disseminating information and generating comments re the Practice. However, GPs were not enthusiastic, in part because such an arrangement would require oversight and staff are already hard pressed; also, feedback from other local Practices indicated that it can generate a lot of negative comments. 3. Feedback from the Greater Huddersfield CCG Patient Reference Group Network meetings Greg attended the meetings during 2018.

  • Colne Valley Folk (1936)
    COLNE VALLEY FOLK THE ROMANCE AND ENTERPRISE OF A TEXTILE STRONGHOLD BY ERNEST LOCKWOOD WITH A FOREWORD BY THE RT. HON. THE VISCOUNT SNOWDEN HEATH CRANTON LIMITED 6 FLEET LANE LONDON, E.C.4 19~6 First published in 1936 Printed in Great Britain for Heath Cranton Limited l,y Northumberland Press Limited, Newcastle on Tyne FOREWORD BY THE RT. HoN. THE V1scouNT SNOWDEN THE Colne Valley Folk are typically Yorkshire. I know no part of the West Riding where the sterling qualities of a moorland race have been better preserved. The old dialect still survives in spite of the efforts of a State school­ ing to give speech an alien twist. The population maintain a spirit of sturdy independence of thought and action characteristic of all peoples who breathe the air which has swept over wide regions of moor and heather. I represented the constituency in Parliament for nine years. When I was invited to become a candidate for the Division I accepted the invitation because I knew I should be going among my own folk. I had a very happy time among them. Yorkshiremen are proverbially clannish. They have good reasons to regard themselves as the back­ bone of England in more senses than one. The hills and valleys of the Pennine range have always been a centre of political activity. Colne Valley has a proud history of association with all the political movements of the last century. It sent its contingent to Peterloo. It led the Luddite rising. It was a hot-bed of Chartist agitation. 5 6 FOREWORD It formed its political Labour Union before the Independent Labour Party came into existence.
