Signal to turn right as you approach the pedestrian crossing. 2 Directions to Wakefield Bridge Club at Thornes Park - Maps and photos - July 2021 The entrance to the park, above.

Keep going up the hill past the skateboard park, which is on the right here. 3 Directions to Wakefield Bridge Club at Thornes Park - Maps and photos - July 2021 As you approach these two buildings, prepare to turn right into the car park. Car Park Turn into the car park, and park up where you see these cars. Take the ramp up to the left beyond the large building. Ramp up Do not be put off by the Private Car Park sign. This is for both the Gym Club and the Bridge Club, and the notice helps protect the site from travellers. Members should all normally use this car park. There is a gently-sloping ramp up from the car park to our building on the top level of the park. Disabled members should not turn into this car park - but instead, continue on up the hill for a few yards until they approach the main building. 4 Directions to Wakefield Bridge Club at Thornes Park - Maps and photos - July 2021 Disabled members may park in the small car park where the cars are visible in this picture and in the one below. Ramp down Our playing rooms are marked by the red outline. The entrance to those rooms is in the small passageway just to the right of the red outline - it leads through the building to the central ‘courtyard’ which also has a small parking space. The ramp goes down to the main car park. The pictures on the next two pages show aerial views of the whole site. 5 Directions to Wakefield Bridge Club at Thornes Park - Maps and photos - July 2021 Road up from Road up park entrance park Main car park Main to Ramp top level top Central Central courtyard car park club Disabled Disabled Bridge Bridge 6 Directions to Wakefield Bridge Club at Thornes Park - Maps and photos - July 2021 Disabled Bridge car park club Road up from park entrance Main car park Thornes park offers 60 hectares of open space to explore and enjoy including a two-mile circular path that follows the boundary of the park - and if this is not challenging enough there are several exercise stations on the route. There is a mound in the centre of the park which was once the site of a motte and bailey castle and now provides spectacular views of Wakefield. The park hosts a model railway, formal gardens, a lake, an indoor leisure centre, a skateboard park and an athletics track. Clarence Park and Holmfield Park adjoin Thornes Park and extend the leisure area further. Please note that the Holmfield Arms hotel and restaurant (Premier Inn) has a separate drive running from the east side off Denby Dale Road, and this is not accessible by car from within the park. This building was known earlier as Holmfield House - the bridge club played there until 1991, when we moved to Wakefield Town Hall. Three years later we moved again, to the West Yorkshire Sports & Social Club in Sandal, and in 2021 we have moved ‘back’ to Thornes Park. 7 .

  • Our Vision for Wakefield
    WAKEFIELD CIVIC SOCIETY Building interest in Wakefield since 1964 Our Vision for Wakefield Preface On 29th February 1964, The Wakefield Express published a letter written on behalf of a group of local residents who were concerned about what was happening with regard to the ‘architectural and planning future of the city’. With the pressures of a rising population and increasing numbers of vehicles being used on our roads, not just in Wakefield, but across the country, the signatories to the letter were worried that decisions about what happened in Wakefield would be made solely by the Council. While the authors recognised that it was the responsibility of elected representatives and officials of the Council to determine what should happen, the writers of the letter wanted those decisions to be informed through debate with a cohort of ‘interested and instructed’ members of the general public who had been brought together under the aegis of a new type of organisation, a ‘civic society’, examples of which were already being established in other parts of the country. The purpose of these new societies was described as being ‘to educate and interest [their] members in planning, design and architecture; to care for the preservation of what is best from the past; to take action, if necessary, on current development; and most importantly of all, to give thought and study for the future’. The main proposal outlined in the letter was to hold a public meeting to discuss the establishment of a civic society for Wakefield with the aim of ensuring that the city would continue to be ‘a pleasant and fair place’ in which to live.

News of Old Savilians will be specially welcomed for inclusion in the Old Savilian Notes, and should be addressed for that purpose to G. E. Webster, Esq., 8 South Parade, Wake- field, or C. H. Head, Esq., at the School. EDITORIAL NOTES. OUR first duty is to express our sense of loss by the death, during this term, of two of our School Governors, Alderman J. Marriott and Archdeacon Donne. Mr. Marriott on all occasions followed with the closest attention the interests of the School, and no detail of equipment or premises was regarded by him as unimportant if it concerned the well-being of boys or masters. His sound sense, courtesy, cool judgment, and truly amiable nature were recognised by every one, and not least in matters affecting the administration of this School. Archdeacon Donne was one of the School's oldest friends, and had long shown himself personally devoted to its welfare. He noted, with real satisfaction, every success or mark of progress we had to show, and in many ways helped us with the sterling kindness, and the extraordinary considerateness for others, that were so salient in his character.

  • Following the Tragic Events That Occurred at the Kiss Nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 27 January 2013 Where 241 People Died, A
    WYFRA COMMUNITY 19 JULY 2013 ITEM NO SAFETY COMMITTEE 5 REPORT OF: DIRECTOR OF SERVICE DELIVERY PURPOSE OF REPORT: To inform Members of the results of a programme of during performance inspections which were carried out on the nights of 7 & 8 June 2013. RECOMMENDATION: That Members note the contents of this report. LOCAL GOVERNMENT (ACCESS TO INFORMATION) ACT DETAILS EXEMPTION CATEGORY: NONE ACCESS CONTACT OFFICER: CHRIS KEMP – FIRE PROTECTION MANAGER BACKGROUND PAPERS OPEN TO INSPECTION: ANNEXES: 1. Inspection Form SUMMARY Following the tragic events that occurred at the Kiss nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 27 January 2013 where 241 people died, a review of similar establishments within West Yorkshire identified that there are approximately 100 premises that potentially pose a higher risk due to large numbers of occupants. On the nights of 7 & 8 June 2013 Fire Protection carried out a series of inspections at these premises, this paper provides a breakdown of the results of those inspections. 1 BACKGROUND 1.1 On 27 January 2013, 241 people died in a fire at the Kiss nightclub in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The fire started in the early hours of the morning when a band member playing on stage ignited a pyrotechnic article which caused acoustic foam to ignite. The pyrotechnic did not form part of the planned stage activities, however its unscheduled use, together with only one exit from the premises proved a catastrophic combination. 1.2 The Kiss nightclub fire was the latest in a long line of fires in nightclubs, since 2000 there have been 10 significant fires worldwide which have resulted in the death of 1155 people.
