TICKTON ADVENT WINDOWS ...

Tickton Advent Windows brought out the real Christmas spirit in Tickton. With families working together to decorate their windows and then villagers obtaining maps by making a charitable donation. The event raised £112 for the Foodbank. A huge thank you must go to those who put so much effort into decorating their windows, helping organise the event and providing an outlet for the Advent maps. It’s just a shame more windows can’t be shown in this publication.

Well done everyone.

C HRISTMAS SHOW... BETHLEHEM B & B

"Photos from the Christmas Show, "Bethlehem B & B”. The performance went down very well with the packed audience, the children were great. Bethlehem B & B ma de for a very entertaining evening, which was topped off, as ever, by carol singing by everyone.

The children put on a wonderful performance which was enjoyed by all... so a big "well done" to them.

Thanks also to everyone who helped and supported the event which raised a brilliant

£690.18.

Special thanks goes to Pauline and her production team, to helpers from the church serving refreshments, and to Celia and David, and their team from the Village Hall, for their usual high level of help and support in putting up and taking down the stage and seating.

Well done to everyone.

CHURCH NEWS... CHRISTMAS EVENTS & MORE Charity Collections The... Village Carol Evening on December 16th raised £276.28, which has been split between Action for Children and the local dementia charity. The Christingle Service on Christmas Eve raised £76.24, which goes to The Children’s Society. The December retiring collections at church raised £106 for Crisis, the national charity working with the homeless.

New afternoon/evening service on the second Sunday of the month The first of the newly-timed afternoon services took place on January 12th. The Vicar, Jonathan, led an informal Holy Communion at St Paul’s, during which the usual sermon was replaced by a discussion, based around the gospel reading for the day, which was the baptism of Jesus by John in the river Jordan. All agreed that it was good to change from the usual format, and we’re looking forward to continuing this style of worship on the second Sunday of each month. The next one will be on February 9th, at 4 pm, and will be at the Methodist Church, so that we can decide between us which of our two venues best suit this service. Keep your eyes on the Notice Boards for info about March and future services.

Bookings for the Methodist Church Mrs Cross – Katie – is retiring from her role as bookings secretary after many years’ service, which followed her time as Churchwarden. Grateful thanks to her for all that she has done over this long time. Bookings will now be managed by Pauline Jeffery (501944), who, as Church Treasurer, already deals with the financial side. Please contact her for occasional as well as prospective regular bookings of the building.

Looking forward to Easter This year Easter falls in the middle of April and so our service details will appear in the April/May issue of TD. We can, however, say that this year’s Good Friday service – called ‘The Last Hour at the Cross’, and which is shared with All Saints, Routh – will take place at St Paul’s, 2 pm. We hope to have another Easter Tree Festival in April. Keep your eyes open for details of this. PETER CROSS - METHODIST MINISTER...

February fill dyke ... Be it black or be it white; But if it be white, … The better to like.

This old proverb reminds us that February can be gloomy at times and much folk lore has grown around February weather. A fine day on Candlemas (February 2nd) brought expectations of a prolonged winter but rain brought hope of an early spring. In the infamous winter of 1947 when bad weather almost brought the country to a halt, the snow didn’t start until February and didn’t melt away until May.

The Victorian Landscape artist Benjamin Wilson Leader painted a picture called “February Fill Dyke”. It shows a bleak scene with bare trees and dark menacing clouds. Smoke rises from the chimney of a small cottage and great pools of water lie in a rutted track. A couple venture out to walk their dog, and though the overall impression ought to be miserable and depressing – for some reason it isn’t.

The redeeming feature of this painting is the artist’s skilful use of light. It may be a grey and dingy scene, but as your eye is drawn to the threatening clouds you realise the sun is shining through the tantalising glimpses of blue sky. You know the sun is there even though can’t see it and you are left with a profound sense of hope. The immediate experience in the month of February may be that life is dark and damp, but the spring is about to break in with a renewal of the cycle of life and hope.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world”. That means, at least in part, that though life might be hard and even depressing sometimes, our faith in God offers the promise of hope and renewal. God Bless. Peter Page - 7

V ICARS BLOG...

Congratulations to Tickton CE School on another good Ofsted Report! ... The Inspection, back in November, commended the school for being a caring school, where pupils are polite and …their behaviour is good, and where students enjoy and work hard in lessons because teachers plan them well and include interesting activities. The Report also commends the school for giving good support to pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. All in all, there is much in the Report to affirm the school in what it is doing, along with one or two suggestions for development.

It has made me reflect on what an important job our schools are doing, and especially Church Schools. In an increasingly fragmented and individualistic society, where more and more people expect to be able to make their own choices about every aspect of their lives, our schools may be the last remaining places of genuine community.

Only in schools does the whole diverse range of society come together. Only in schools do the well-off mix with those struggling on Benefits, those of different race or faith share the same space, and children from stable, loving families learn alongside those who are in care or who are from more damaged backgrounds.

For many people now, school is the only place where we are expected to meet and get along with people who may be very different from us. It is the place where most of us have to learn how our individual freedom bumps up against someone else’s, where we learn how to disagree well, how to practise tolerance and forgive when we hurt each other. In school, we cannot always choose whom we sit next to.

In nearly all other settings, our communities are made up of people with whom we choose to be, or who are like us. The workplace, the sports club, the art class, U3A or toddler group bring together people who will often come from a more or less similar background and share a more or less similar way of looking at the world. Which makes me think that perhaps the most important thing a school can offer, and for which a Church School is well-placed, is not so much to prepare children for exams, or to equip them with measurable skills and knowledge (important though those are), but to teach them how to relate to others, and to understand that each of us can only discover and use our own unique gifts in community with others.

The Christian gospel claims that God is love, and that human beings are made in his image to give and receive love. The most important life skills we can acquire are therefore those which will help us to make healthy, flourishing relationships with all kinds of people, even those who are completely different and even those with whom we disagree.

Tickton School is teaching our children how to do this and deserves not only our support but also our applause, for doing something upon which the well-being of our children depends but which our world is finding more and more difficult to do. SOROPTIMIST’S ANNUAL FASHION SHOW... Soroptimist International of Beverley and District are holding their 'Annual Fashion Show' on Friday 27th March 2020,... at the Village Hall, Tickton at 7 30pm. Tickets cost £10 which includes a glass of wine and nibbles.

Spring… fashions from many local shops will be on show and all profit will be given to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

If you can't come but would like to offer a raffle prize or make a donation to this very worthwhile charity, which any one of us could need, please leave with John at the Post Office, addressed to Liz Hallett.

This event is being supported by local premier magazine E and N.

Thank you for your support

During 2019 the Council also approved an allocation of £2,578 from the General Reserve to part fund 2019/20 improvement projects. In 2020/21, the Council has not allocated funds towards the budget as the General Reserve is anticipated to be £13,731 on 31.03.20; the Local Councils Association has advised the Council of the need to plan and work towards increasing the General Reserve to a minimum of £18-£20,000. The Council’s ethos is to consult, listen and respond to local residents in order to meet the needs of the community as a whole. As a result of this, over the last 4 years, the Council has undertaken a range of projects offering improved community facilities;

➢ GL Cullington Field drainage ➢ a replacement bus shelter ➢ tennis court renewal to create a multi-use games area (MUGA) ➢ 4 dog bag dispensers ➢ additional fencing to enclose the single MUGA ➢ 3 new litter bins ➢ rugby, football and netball posts ➢ bicycle shelter and a range of seating Total project/development costs = £85,766 funded by Grants = £50,734 Tickton & Routh Parish Council funds = £35,032

The Council is currently working on grant applications with a view to installing outdoor gym equipment – as suggested in a previous consultation. By seeking grant funding wherever possible, the Council endeavours to give residents the best possible value for the Precept raised.

LOCAL FLOODING... Tickton & Routh Parish Council is working with Leconfield and Leven Parish Council with a view to forming a Joint Parish Council Working Party. The purpose of the Working Party is to address common issues relating to localised river and surface water flooding which impact all of our communities. The aim of this Parish Council Working Party is to meet jointly with the various agencies in order to discuss the alleviation of flood risk.

The Working Party will also seek to respond to the ERYC Draft Local Plan Review with a view to making recommendations as to what might be considered responsible development in the light of our low-lying land and its associated risks.

In the last edition of Tickton Diary the Parish Council appealed for photographs, written accounts and dates when flooding occurs. Thank you to residents who sent in photographs taken after last year’s heavy rainfall. This appeal will remain open and we would appreciate any further photographs for our archives.

To assist us further, the Parish Council would also appreciate any photographs taken in , Hull Bridge, Tickton, Routh and during the floods of 2007. All the images, both recent and historical, will provide evidence of flood risk to properties and the damage caused by localised flooding.

If you would like to share any photographs or information relating to local flooding please send to Tickton & Routh Parish Council by Email: [email protected] or contact the Clerk by calling Mobile: 07563 155095. Thank you.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE RIVER HULL... The last issue of Tickton News asked about for contributions about flood risk and the current state of the River Hull. As a resident at Hull Bridge and a skipper on the Community Boat using the River regularly during the summer, I feel qualified to share my thoughts. The matter of River levels in the River Hull at Tickton is a very complex one. Normally the River level will vary from about 1.4 metres on the gauge under Hull Bridge to about 2.8 metres depending on the type and state of the tide. This means the river is contained within its normal banks. After rain the River will probably not rise for about 24 hours as most of the water is gathered in the headlands. The following day it will have an effect on increasing the level of the River, particularly noticeably at the top of the tide.

There is a further complication in that the area is served by a number of low-level drains, converging on the Beverley and Barmston Drain and the Drain on either side of the River. The has an outfall direct to the River which is controlled by a sluice, but the Beverley and Barmston Drain which has a sluice onto the River Hull at High Flags for operation at Low Tide there, is now only emptied by pumping at into the River Hull so surplus water has to pass through Hull Bridge.

Since mid-October 2019 the River level until the start of the New Year has barely dropped below 3.0 metres on the gauge and peaked at a level at around 4.0 metres, noted by the Environment Agency as close to record levels. This meant that the River was still contained within its flood banks (despite leaks at the Crown and Anchor car park and a couple of places on the Weel Road.)although the water was well up the flood banks in a number of places and covered the land by the pub outside tables. Further up river at Wilfholme and above farm land was flooded and the level of water in Pulfin Bog connected to the River was also up by over a metre. The River was coping, but as has been said to me “only just”. During the period of high water, the tide, still registering at the Old Shipyard in Beverley, seemed to have disappeared by Tickton.

So why was the water not flowing away, during the period the Old Harbour area in Hull was still drying out at low tide, but the river above Sutton Road bridge in Hull seemed to stay full?

The water flow down the river is affected by a number of capacity issues. Whilst dredging the bottom of the River would increase capacity of the River it would not increase flow. It is my belief that the narrowing of the River between Ennerdale Bridge and has had a far more drastic effect on the River. Reeds have been allowed to grow out from the banks which has slowed the river down causing it to deposit silt amid the reeds effectively moving the banks into the River. This then reduces both the speed and capacity of the River to move surplus water. And so it is my belief that rather than dredging what is needed is to remove reeds and accumulated silt from the banksides of the River in the same way as the Environment Agency clears the drains by removal of reeds and associated silt using long reach excavators, and so return the River to its original profile.

TICKTON’S WI ...... Hello Ladies It goes by quickly doesn’t it, the festive season, and then we’re into holiday ads, healthy eating, January sales, and snowdrops appearing in the garden. So, is this a good time to … be coming along to join us for a couple of hours each month? It certainly is. Our programme for 2020 is all printed out and ready for you to take a look at. We’ve got everything from afternoon teas, yoga, fish and chips and poems, through to an evening celebrating all things Yorkshire. Then there are quizzes, the Humber Pilot (not the pub, the person), craft meetings, and precious jewellery to hear about, plus our usual outing in August. In February, our meeting on the 17th is the gentle seated introduction to yoga, and the Humber Pilot will be visiting us on 16th March and you’d be very welcome to come along as a visitor to either or both of these meetings at a cost of only £3 each. Your visitor fee would then be deducted from your annual subscription if you decided to join us for the rest of the year. We hope you’ll be tempted. The WI is celebrating 100 years in Yorkshire this year and the East Yorkshire Federation has many events planned including a special combined service at St Michael le Belfrey in York with representatives from all the other Federations in Yorkshire, an afternoon tea at The Spa in and a lunch at the Royal Station Hotel in Hull (more food!). This year we also have a weekend retreat planned at Cober Hill, just outside Scarborough, with various courses on offer and the chance to learn new skills and enjoy an away-from-it-all break that’s not too far away at all. There’s also a Federation holiday to the Norfolk Broads in May for members to enjoy. If you know of someone, a friend or neighbour, who might like to meet some new people and learn new skills or hear interesting ideas, please bring them along to one of our meetings where you’ll both receive a warm welcome and maybe much more. We meet on the third Monday of the month, (except for our August outing) in the Methodist Chapel on Main Street from 7.30pm until about 9.30pm. Our President, Kay, tel 01964 543469, would be happy to give you all the details you need about Tickton WI, or you could take a look at us on facebook (Tickton WI), or send us a tweet on Twitter (@ticktonwi). However, if you’d like to try a WI in another location, the East Yorkshire Federation website at facebook.com/EYFWI has full details of them all in the area, on different days and afternoons and evenings. We all belong to the same Federation but no two are the same. Some sing “Jerusalem” and make jam, others prefer gin tasting and yarn bombing. We look forward to seeing you if you can make it. Best wishes, Sue Sadler, for Tickton WI

RITISH EART OUNDATION B H F ...

The British Heart Foundation has a wonderful opportunity for people to raise money to

Now down to bowling competitions

We have finished our triples match for the nominated cup the result will be later. Some of our members are going to Potters in Norfolk to watch the world champions playlets... hope they come back with some tips. It's a very enviable place, plenty to eat and drink with entertainment.

The Titans and Tornadoes still have some matches to play in the Humberside League. The open pairs league for the Chairman Cup is still on going. You play with three woods and nine ends.

This January we have just started playing triples for the Cyril & Jean Dean Cup. We all get put in the bag and get our names drawn out. The competition is played with two woods and 11 ends.

All the results are at the end of the season.

Happy bowling Willy Wood

TICKTON SCHOOL DOES ROMAN WEEK...

Roman Week This week in KS2 we have had a themed Roman week. All of KS2 enjoyed it. We made our own remarkable Roman shields and helmets. The whole of KS2 went outside and had a (pretend) battle, but before we had the (imaginary) battle every class learned formations:

• The tortoise also known as the testudo • Orb, which is a circle around the archers and the officers • Wedge, a v shape used to breakdown the enemy’s front line.

All of ks2 made roman helmets by blowing up a balloon to the correct circumference of their head. Then we all added cheek guards and neck guards to our balloon with masking tape. We did paper mâché with kitchen towel all over. Next, we all did another layer, but it was made out of newspaper.

All of ks2 enjoyed Roman week and enjoyed making their shields for the (pretend) battle.
