AUSTWICK PARISH NEWSLETTER Austwick, Eldroth, Feizor, Lawkland & Wharfe

SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER 2020 Amazing Austwick and the story of the Lockdown Teas The cover page fo this Newsletter features images of an amazing event that took place in Austwick during the Covid-19 lockdown. Hard to believe maybe for anyone picking up this Newsletter in years to come, but an Afternoon Tea was served to all households in their home. This huge achievement was made possible by Iain and Michelle at Cross Leigh Stores, and the army of volunteers that they assembled overnight to donate cakes and sandwiches and deliver around the village. Truly an achievement to be proud of!

14 THE SHOW MUST GO ON Lekker Wines: Lockdown Story The cancellation of the Village Show (the only time since its revival 50 years ago) may have left some gardeners in Aust- wick feeling “sans everything”. But the day was not allowed to pass unnoticed. Instead, Graham and Gwen Cleverly opened their fruit and vegetable garden for the enjoyment of local residents. If you were not there you missed a treat. Characteristically precise planning ensured our biosecurity; small groups, booked into time slots, were able to stroll around, taking in the many delights before them. The garden, set in semi-woodland, is bounded on one side by Austwick Beck. Recent selective tree felling has opened views of Oxenber and let in more sunlight; generous margins provide diverse habitats for wildlife – and grandchildren.

Having grown up near South Africa’s magnificent winelands, I have many wonderful memories of wine-tasting with friends and family. But since then, years of working long hours, weekends and school holidays made it impossible to make new memories with my own family. Enter Covid-19! With lockdown, I finally had time with the children, but no job! The time was right to harvest the seeds sown by my experience in the wine trade, in a way that worked for me and my passions: Lekker Wines was born. I started seeking out delicious wines from lesser-known wineries in South Africa, showcasing the extraordinary range and value my homeland offers.

We ran or supported a range of clubs, including lunch clubs and social groupings. We have supported lonely and isolated people trying to give friendship and practical help and we have provided confidential advice to people and their families. We of course do lots more, the shop is a great facility and opportunity to volunteer and give something back. We have over 200 active volunteers supporting all of these activities. During the pandemic we have had to postpone a number of our regular things and have stepped up and developed new help for people. We have hugely ex- panded our telephone befriending scheme, we have linked people to shopping, still taken people to health appointments, still provided confidential advice and have supported all of the community groups that have been set up to help communities.

We very much look forward to welcoming you. The Parish Hall is a charity, managed on a voluntary basis by trustees, some representing village user groups and others being co-opted. The Parish Hall Council needs some £12-15,000 annually to cover the basic running cost of the hall (utilities, insurance, caretaking and maintenance) and ensure that there are sufficient reserves to undertake larger maintenance and improvement projects, such as the recent external re-pointing. The hire fees paid by groups contribute to the running costs, but we also rely on other fundraising activities. In a normal year, the Parish Hall, together with the Playing Fields and other village organisations, benefits greatly from the annual Street Market. In 2019 the Parish Hall Council was delighted to receive £7,000 from the Street Mar- ket. Other fundraising events such as coffee mornings, afternoon teas, film nights and special events such as open gardens also make a major contribution. The help of numerous volunteers who make these events possible is much appreciated At the startAustwick of the current Parish virus Newsletter pandemic, government September - December 2020 grants of £10,000 were made available to qualifying village halls and Austwick Parish Hall was successful in its application for this funding. This is currently com- pensating for the loss of income from fundraising events. The setting up and stocking of the plant stall at the front of the Hall by volunteers through recent weeks has been very successful, raising over £340 by the end of July. Thank you to everyone who has donated plants and to those who have purchased them. It is too early to say when a normal programme of events and fundraising will be able to get fully under way, or whether government restrictions might need to be 20 ALL SET FOR TENNIS has the coaching with enthusiastic new members joining the club.

Singles play was allowed, but for those of us who retired from singles play about the same time we retired from fulltime employment that was a bit of a test of our commitment to the game. A household of three tennis players (and we have some in the club) was allowed to meet up with one other person from another household for a set or two of doubles. The trouble was that the person from that other household was not allowed to meet up with the other three. Baffled? – We were. But soon that new normal emerged.
