– 6 – – 7 – Getting to know you... This month, we feature Hazel Greenwood I came to live in Clifford in June 2015 at a time in my life Bobbins when it was necessary to downsize and wishing to be near my son and his family who live in Barwick-in-Elmet. I was born in a small village in one of the South Wales valleys, Ladies & Gents the younger daughter of a coal miner. After my father had an accident whilst underground, our family moved to Weston- Specialist Alteration Service Super-Mare. Here I continued my primary school and then moved to the local grammar school. During this period, I attended one of the local Baptist churches and was baptised in 1960. My 166 High Street, Boston Spa Tel: 01937 844722 ambition was to be a school teacher and chose to study at what was then the City of Coventry Training College just before it became part of Warwick University. Following my studies, I remained in the city and taught in one of the local secondary schools. During my time at college I had been the chief bridesmaid at my sister’s wedding and four years later I married the best man. We set up home in the village of Market Andrew Morgan Bosworth; David worked in Leicester and I took a position at Market Bosworth High OPTICIANS School. We invested in a caravan and enjoyed travelling around the UK and the continent. Eventually the longed-for baby arrived but after three years it became necessary for David to seek employment elsewhere. We moved to a village just outside Newport in South Wales which was very convenient for visiting my parents, who still 170 High Street lived in Weston. Some years later I was asked to join the staff at the Community Education Centre in Newport and I continued working there until my retirement in Boston Spa, LS23 6BW 2005. Tel: 01937 849933 Although I had lost my husband in 1998, just a few weeks before our pearl wedding anniversary, I continued living in the same place. My son gained his Masters A M A. J. Morgan, B.Sc., M.C.Optom. Degree at Lancaster University and decided that ‘up North’ was the place to live. He took employment in York and eventually I was able to move to too. On my second Sunday in Clifford I attended the morning service at Clifford Methodist Church and that afternoon a Strawberry Tea celebrating the Church Anniversary. I had received a very warm welcome and this, with all the other activities to be found Vanessa Jude Supershop here and nearby villages, I am very pleased to have made my home in Clifford.

The TUC are meeting in Manchester, Queripel and Kettlewell and the political parties are holding their conferences later in the month, as are Chartered Accountants, Chartered Tax Advisers organisations like the CBI. But there are leadership issues in the two major political parties and, by the time this article is in print, things may have changed dramatically. and Registered Auditors We have a democratic system of government. We vote to choose people to lead us and hopefully to change our world for the better or at least not to make it any worse. Preparation of Accounts We want a government that represents the people, that’s chosen by the people, and Tax Returns v Tax Advice v Tax Planning that works on behalf of the people. We have free and regular elections at national level for Parliament, for local councils and for various other posts. We choose the people Phone Paul Queripel on 01937 541770 who are going to represent us and govern us in the corridors of power. But that doesn’t The Barn, Hall Mews, Boston Spa, LS23 6AA mean that the system always works. We get as Prime Minister the leader of the party that wins the most seats in the House of Commons, the person with the largest number of elected MP supporters. But thanks to the different sizes of constituencies a party can have a majority of seats in the Commons from a minority of the total votes cast. We can even have a coalition SKELF FRAMES LTD government. And the method of choosing candidates for election in the first place Picture framers with over 25 years’ experience isn’t necessarily the best. Some candidates are nominated and backed by sectional interests like big business or trade unions. Some are chosen, particularly for safe seats, as a reward for loyal service to their party. Others are chosen because they are popular Unit 15a, Station Estate and most likely to win. They aren’t always the best people to represent us, to do the job.
