HAVE YOU ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS PROBLEMS or CONCERNS
Anyone wishing to: receive notice of meetings; give notice to speak at a meeting; view current Planning Applications or any Parish Council document, please contact by email:- [email protected]
The PC minutes are printed in the HOSM Grapevine newsletter; they are put on the website and are also placed on the 3 village notice boards.
The newsletter is distributed to some 1,300 homes in the village; the Clerk (Maggie Fuller) will email this to you, on request, if you email [email protected]
Other important local information is also put into the newsletter, please take notice. Parish Council minutes (after sign off) and agendas will be available on the following website, along with diary dates, village news and announcements: www.hosmparishcouncil.co.uk
There are always recurring issues and these are shown below – it is your responsibility to report issues – the PC cannot be everywhere all the time. If you don’t let them know don’t complain!
Street-light and Pot-hole Problems If you notice a street-light not working please either phone the number on the lamp-post, report it via the East Riding of Yorkshire Council website or email Maggie (see above), the Clerk with the name of the road, the location and the number on the lamp-post. The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is responsible for our street- lights and will rectify all problems. Pot-holes are the bane of our lives and the East Riding of Yorkshire Council is again responsible for repairing them, it appears that in cold weather they only make a temporary repair which is then done properly once the road surface is warmer. To report problems ring 01482 887700 and ask for Highways or report via the East Riding of Yorkshire Council website with exact location and if possible a picture, the picture seems to help get the repair done more quickly!!
Doggie Bag Dispensers and Litter Bins The village is now well covered with bins. Parish Councillors are alarmed at the number of bags having to be bought and therefore paid for out of public funds. Would dog owners please make their own arrangements for buying doggie bags (bags such as nappy bags are very inexpensive from many stores) and use the doggie bag dispensers as a backup. The Parish Council has set up a maximum budget for doggie bags and you may therefore find dispensers empty at certain times, please be a responsible dog owner and pick up your pets droppings.
Recording of PC meetings, legislation allows residents to record meetings
Child Protection The main message from experts is to listen to vulnerable people and always report suspicions, they will always be investigated, Ward Councillor Victoria Aitken has given out a “Golden number” to report suspicions 01482 395500
External grants If any voluntary groups in the village need help in sourcing external grants please contact the Parish Council Clerk Maggie Fuller
Defibrillators, we have two defibs available 24/7 with one attached to the outside wall at the Village Hall entrance plus one on Margaret’s DIY external wall. If you have a medical emergency phone 999, the operator will give you the code for the defib box if it is needed, defibs if used quickly can help keep people alive until the emergency services get there
Severe weather, the Parish Council has updated the village severe weather plan to make sure we are as ready as possible for bad weather.

Burial grounds, the Church Graveyard and Parish Council Cemetery have the grass cut by our Parish Council handyman Pete who does a great job for the village. Lots of people have said that they would be willing to volunteer some time, the Parish Council is aware that some people do look after their family graves and this is perfectly acceptable to the Church and Parish Council. This is an important part of village life and the more people that wish to get involved the better
Parish Council Meetings
Residents are able to see the Parish Council in action at monthly meetings that are held at the Methodist Church Hall, Selby Road every third Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm, the next meetings are 19th February 2020 and then 18th March 2020.

The next surgeries are on, Saturday 15th February 2020 14th March 2020 between 10 am and 12 noon in The Coffee Shop, this is located in the Courtyard opposite the Blacksmiths Arms.

STEVE YOUNG OUR RETIRING PARISH CLERK
Steve Young has been our clerk for Holme Parish Council for the last 12 years. He is also clerk for several other councils too but we are the biggest one he is employed by. For all who do not know what this role involves here is a snippet of his many duties.
Although he doesn’t live in Holme he has always worked passionately for the village throughout this time. Monthly parish council meetings always run smoothly thanks to his ability to research information required for items on the agenda. His ever increasing knowledge of local council issues has meant he has been capable of ensuring a first class job in carrying out his responsibilities. Over this period of time he has been involved in many large projects including obtaining £1,000’s grant money to help improve facilities in the village for various clubs etc and more recently the total refurbishment of the village hall play area and the village hall roof. Planning applications can be contenscious but we have had the help of Steve’s experience to guide us through these sometimes difficult times.
Among many of his duties one of his responsibilities is the delicate job of running the cemetery which he has carried out in an organised and sympathetic manner.
He is also responsible for 4 members of staff which include Pete the handyman, Mel the litter picker and the two youth club workers. The setting up of the current style Youth Club was carried out by him and this ensures the children of the village have somewhere to go once a week to meet their friends, play and learn new activities in a safe environment.
As vice chairman and now chairman I have always found Steve a totally reliable clerk to work alongside and a pleasure to learn from regarding all council issues, plus we can have a bit of fun at meetings too!
So after 12 years of excellent service to the village we now have to say good bye to Steve and on behalf of all current and past parish councillors and the clubs, people he has helped over this time – Thank you very much for all your hard work Steve.
Helen Williamson
WELCOME TO OUR NEW PARISH CLERK FOR HOLME ON SPALDING MOOR – MAGGIE FULLER
I am delighted to have been appointed as the new Clerk to the Holme on Spalding Moor Parish Council. I have recently returned to live permanently in our family home following my husband’s retirement from the Royal Air Force and having completed our last tour in Naples, Italy.
I was born and brought up in West London and joined the RAF in 1985, serving 22 years. My first appointment after training was to RAF Linton- on-Ouse just outside York. It was here that I fell in love with Yorkshire and decided that when the time came I would like to settle here permanently. I persuaded my husband, a Lancastrian, to come over from the Dark Side and we bought our family home in North Newbald in 2003.
Having spent the last 35 years moving around the UK and further afield
Page 7
Jan / Feb 2020 with the RAF it is nice at last to finally be settled in our own home. In my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening, going to the theatre and cinema, watching cricket and travelling. Having spent almost 7 years in Naples, I am also passionate about all things Italian; its food, language and culture.
Steve Young has been Clerk to the Parish Council for 12 years and will undoubtedly be a hard act to follow; however, I will give it my best shot and I look forward to meeting as many residents of Holme on Spalding Moor as possible in the coming months.
Maggie Fuller - Email: [email protected] Phone: 01430 827614 Address: 1 School Rise, Beverley Road, North Newbald, East Riding of Yorkshire, YO43 4FB We welcome our new Parish Councillor Kirsty Allan.
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Kirsty Allan. I own Kirsty’s Salon in the village within The Village Courtyard, High Street. I am the former landlady of the Blacksmith Arms, High Street.
I have lived in the village for most of my life and now have a family of my own and I’m committed to keeping our village fantastic and help in any way to progress the use of the excellent facilities that we already have. I would like to ensure that the village continues to develop into a brilliant place to live.
I am always willing to help if I can and if anybody wishes to report or discuss a problem in the village then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
My contact details are email [email protected] telephone 07791839589 and home address 50 Selby Road, Holme on Spalding Moor YO43 4EU

FUTURE GRAPEVINES
It is important, if possible, that we keep production costs to a minimum to ensure we give value for money and therefore there may be occasions when items that could have been repeated in future issues may not be in the next Grapevine. Please ensure that important telephone numbers, club information and parish council contact information is kept for future reference.

URGENTLY REQUIRED – A NEW YEAR 2020 RESOLUTION FROM DOG OWNERS
DOG POO – WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU DON’T CLEAN UP
SADLY THE VAST IMPROVEMENT IN CLEARING UP AFTER YOU’RE DOG HAS GONE INTO REVERSE – SO THIS MESSAGE IS REPEATED
Dog ‘poo’ can be picked up on pram wheels, children’s shoes, hands, etc and this can be transferred to children’s mouths very easily. Do you know what the consequences could be?
Campylobacteriosis symptoms include diarrhoea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever. The illness typically lasts one week but for people with compromised immune systems, Campylobacter can spread to the bloodstream and result in a life-threatening infection.
E. coli and other faecal coli form live in the intestines of many animals. Certain strains can escape into the bloodstream, or cause stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and fever. For people with weakened immune systems, E.coli infection can result in death.
Salmonellosis is the most common bacterial infection transmitted to humans by other animals. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
Yersiniosis is another bacterial disease that can cause intestinal infections in people. Yersinia can multiply in cold water, unlike many other bacteria and may be found in elevated numbers in ponds, puddles and lakes as they thaw in the spring.
Toxocariasis is an illness found in humans that occurs when they are infected with parasitic roundworms, originating from either the fecal matter of dogs and foxes (Toxocara canis), or cats (Toxocara cati). Although most people might display symptoms similar to the flu, there are certain instances, where the illness can turn into a more severe form known as Ocular Toxocariasis that has the potential to cause blindness
The above can be fatal in certain conditions therefore please, please clean up after your dog. You could face a fine of £1,000 if you are caught

A massive coup for Holme on Spalding Moor Primary School - England and Shanghai teacher exchange programme: - Miss G Woodall, Upper Key Stage 2 Leader
In November 2019, I was lucky enough to visit Shanghai with 106 other Mastery Specialist teachers who had been chosen to represent Maths Hubs across the UK in an England-China teacher exchange programme. The exchange is a highly regarded scheme by both the UK Department for Education and the Chinese Ministry of Education as it allows for collaboration between teachers in the two countries enabling our children to benefit.
Many people have asked "Why Shanghai?" Chinese children score highest, globally in international testing and, in Shanghai in particular, maths teaching has been refined into an art in its own right. The National Curriculum in the UK is written with the intention for children to achieve 'mastery' in mathematics, and, in Shanghai, students certainly achieve that. Schools in England, including ours have begun to adopt some of the teaching strategies used in Shanghai in order to make mathematics teaching better. In my new role as a Maths Mastery Specialist I have been given the opportunity to support staff in our school and other local schools in implementing some of the Shanghai lesson design.
During my two week stay in Shanghai, I observed a range of maths lessons in two contrasting primary Schools. The whole experience was amazing and I feel privileged to have witnessed expert mathematicians carefully constructing lessons using very small steps, this enabled greater learning and a "love" for maths amongst the children in the Chinese schools. The use of equipment within lessons, small progressive learning steps, interactive teaching and the children exploring mathematical concepts to develop their own deep understanding of maths was a key to the success of the lessons.
There are obviously huge cultural differences between Shanghai and England and therefore we cannot mimic what they do over there, but to see the education system in action and make comparisons to our own was of huge benefit to me. Alongside another teacher from Scarborough, I also had the opportunity to teach a maths lesson, again an experience I will never forget. The teachers supported us in the planning and preparing for the lesson but then we delivered it to a group of Year 4 children. It was a huge success and it was made even more incredible by the amount of English the children knew and therefore didn't need much translating!
We are now looking forward to hosting two of the Shanghai teachers in March. They will stay with us for two weeks and teach some maths lessons enabling our children to experience new a culture. There will be some large scale showcase events which will be held in our school hall to which special invitations will be made for schools to visit. It will be another opportunity for our staff to benefit from some excellent training and professional dialogue but also a chance for our children to begin to get a sense of the Chinese culture and gain from expert mathematical teaching. Both Shanghai teachers, Helene and Liz, are looking forward to spending time looking at how we use cross curricular learning to support our children in England and how we make links to maths in other areas of our curriculum such as geography or science.
My two weeks spent in Shanghai flew by but I made memories to last a lifetime. I also know how much it has already transformed my teaching and I hope I am now able to share that knowledge with other teachers.

HOLME ON SPALDING MOOR – VILLAGE HALL
Lesley White, Booking Clerk for the Village Hall, is retiring at the end of January, after 20 years in the role. She has been involved with the Village Hall over 40 years. Lesley and Eric were caretakers for the hall for many years. The Village Hall Committee would like to thank Lesley for all she has done for the hall over the years.
The Committee are pleased to welcome June Raper as the Booking Clerk. She will work alongside Lesley in January and will take over on 1 February. Eric Young
Eric sadly died in December 2019. When he left school, he was apprentice at Loftus’s and then worked for Cliff Baxter as a builder/joiner. After that he joined Northern Dairies in a maintenance role. He retired early due to ill health. Eric and Joyce were married for 56 years and lived nearly all their married life in Spen Lane.
Eric was involved with the Village Hall for many years, starting with being Projectionist for the cinema nights at the old Institute or ‘wooden hut’. Eric was one of the village community who gave their time to build the new hall which opened over 60 years ago. He was Hall Manager for many years when he did repairs where needed such as to windows and doors. Joyce used to say “why don’t you take your bed there, you spend more time there than at home!” He was on the committee from the early days, and latterly as an Honorary Life Member. Eric and Joyce were caretakers for 15 years.

AN EMAIL FROM A CONCERNED RESIDENT
The ‘Keep Safe & Make sure your Car Headlights are OK’ was a most welcome inclusion in the Grapevine (November / December 2019), however without being pedantic it may have been beneficial to also point out to readers that having misaligned headlights as is a headlight or sidelight or taillight bulb out. I suspect that most drivers who have these defects do indeed leave it until their annual MOT unaware that if pulled up by the police it can be a hefty fine. This is also true if you are caught driving with a rear fog-guard illuminated in clear weather/rain. It is meant for thick fog only not just for wet weather. Sadly it appears many drivers are not that well informed when it comes to lighting on vehicles, hence so many cars with defective lighting. Pleading ignorance cuts no ice with traffic police when they stop them. Expect a fine! Karl Sheridan

HOLME UPON SPALDING MOOR W.I. UPDATE
Our members enjoyed a super end to 2019 as we listened, at our party, to Catherine Terry singing songs from the West End musicals, several of which she has appeared in. A true professional who is now appearing in pantomime in Norfolk.
In November, all of the poppies knitted by our members were displayed on Remembrance Sunday at the Remembrance Garden near Meadowfields. If you passed by l am sure you will agree that it looked a splendid tribute to those who gave their lives in the service of their country. Also in November a few of us went to see The Woman in Black at the Theatre Royal in York. An excellent, scary performance.
We began the New Year with a talk by our own scout group, some of whom had attended a jamboree in Virginia last year. They came to entertain us with a talk on their adventure.
February is our Federation Quiz Night where we find out which team from our members will go forward to the finals usually held in Beverley a little later in the year. No pressure there then.
Remember, the second Tuesday in the month is our coffee club so come to the village hall car park for 10 a.m. where there is sure to be a lift to a local venue for coffee and a natter.
For any more information you can ring me, Sue on 01430 861082

Holme Rovers Football Club
First of all, I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and on this note I would like to thank all the volunteers within our club who helped organise the Villages Christmas Grotto and a big thanks to our Father Christmas!
As stated in the last edition the club has purchased some portable floodlights and we have received another donation towards the cost of them and we would like to thank McColl’s for nominating us with ‘’ Making a Difference Locally’’ and the Club receiving a cheque for £450.
Just recently two of our junior footballers Ethan Ashley and James Huddlestone took part in the ‘’lifestyle project’’ and raised over £100 towards our football club but extra to this I have just been informed that they have won a prize for their work so a well done to both of them.
We are half way through the season and if we have one wish is that we do not have as much rain as in the first half of the season as many a Saturday morning no games were able to take place as the Playing Field been too wet.
To finish on a positive note, we have had junior girls training with us and there may be a possibility of our club having a girls’ team representing our club for season 2020/21.
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity in thanking Steve Young for the support he has giving this club while been the Parish Clerk. Richard Brook Chairman 07701065354

Just a Thought
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the AMEN Romanian shoebox appeal. We were able to send out about 2,500 boxes and all who received them were so grateful. In late October, we had news of a sad accident in one of the villages, Pelunca, where our partners work amongst the poor and marginalised. As is common in gypsy villages, whole families live in one room shacks lit by candles and warmed with open wood fires. On a rather cold day, one man decided he needed to boost his fire by pouring oil on to it. The consequent blaze killed him and burnt his shack and five others to the ground, making six families homeless. The village mayor housed the families in a barn and has managed to have the shacks roughly rebuilt. Our charity sent money for food, mattresses, clothes and medical supplies. Each of these families, together with many others in similar circumstances, received Christmas shoeboxes from AMEN. Having been to Romania in past years to distribute these boxes, I can tell you from first-hand experience that every bar of soap, toy, safety razor and all the other gifts would be welcomed and used. Thank you for your help, gifts and prayers. Sandra
Happy families receiving YOUR shoeboxes – a MASSIVE thank you from AMEN
