  • Racing Culture: the Racecourse and Racecourse Life
    5 Racing culture: the racecourse and racecourse life hile people could not avoid having views on racing only a minority Wactually attended race-meetings, and it is to the cultural and social life of the racegoing public that we now turn. The anticipatory thrill of travel was important, and a first section deals briefly with changes in travel over the period. A following more substantial section deals with social relationships, behaviour and attendance in relation to social class and gender. Changes and continuities in the comfort and facilities of the course, and in the ancillary activities such as sideshows, food and drink provision, tipsters or bookmakers are next explored, before the chapter concludes with an assessment of the ‘moral panic’ associated with the racecourse crime of the early 1920s. Transport Travel to the races was important to the racing experience. Changes in the domi- nant mode of transport, with their implications for conspicuous display, social interaction, and patterns of accommodation use in the racing towns, form a peripheral but important theme in the social history of racing. As a sport with its roots in rural horse-owning life, racing, and especially steeplechase and point-to- point meetings, still attracted rural dwellers travelling on horseback in the early 1920s, as entrance figures show, although motor enclosures were raising more than twice as much revenue by the later 1920s. Carriages became rare, although the larger four-in-hand coach was to be found occasionally at Epsom for the Derby, at Ascot, or at more prestigious point-to-points. Their continued appeal was partly sentimental.

  • Meeting at Thirsk Racecourse Panel Members: Jill Moulton – Director Of
    Meeting at Thirsk Racecourse Panel Members: Jill Moulton – Director of Services Strategy and Infrastructure Fiona Bryce – Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Facilitator Is there anyone for the first question? Audience Good evening, someone has got to start. My name is David Tucker. I live in Thirsk and I have grandchildren and I write for the Thirsk Weekly News. My question is this: Does the CCG accept that the over-whelming majority of people in the catchment area of the Friarage Maternity and Paediatric Services, who have expressed their views, want full Maternity and Paediatric Services to be maintained at the Friarage? And does the CCG accept that this constitutes a reasonable requirement by people on their GP lists for the purposes of Section 13 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012? And if not, why not? Panel I think it’s the duty of the CCG to make sure that all Services that we commission are safe and that is the clinical duty for us. I am on the GMC Register, as are the other GPs, and it is the fundamental principle that we can’t commission an unsafe service. I think that in these days where there has been so much discussion about safety and quality, we have to be absolutely certain that the service that we are commissioning is safe. When we did the pre-engagement we listened to the public about transport, we listened to them about their concerns, particularly with the families who use the services a lot and we listened to the experts around safety – I am not an expert around Paediatrics and Maternity but I trust the people who are.

  • Minutes of the Meeting of Thirsk Town Council Held on Monday, 16 April 2018 at Thirsk and Sowerby Town Hall
    Minutes of the Meeting of Thirsk Town Council held on Monday, 16 April 2018 at Thirsk and Sowerby Town Hall Present: Cllrs: H Dalgleish-Brown (Chairman), D Adamson, J Bell, D Duffey, J Fisher, W Gibson-Brown, C Hesmondhalgh, D Jackson, S Ward, J Watson Apologies: Cllr A Trueman, County/District Cllr: G Dadd C818 Declarations of Interest No interests were declared. C819 Police Report PCSO Akhtar went through the monthly crime figures for Thirsk. She advised that the police were in the process of applying for a protection order so that signage could be erected on Thirsk Industrial Estate in an attempt to resolve issues in respect of waste which was being left by HGV drivers. Cllr Fisher reported that he had observed another near accident close to the mini- roundabout on Long Street which he felt was caused by the lack of visibility created by a vehicle which was parked on the pavement very close to the roadside. Although it was believed that the vehicle may not be parked illegally, PCSO Akhtar stated that she would pass on the concern and the Clerk indicated that he would contact North Yorkshire County Council so that they were aware of the matter. Cllr Gibson-Brown reported that groups of youths who had been congregating in Mill Gardens appeared to have moved on to the Picnic Area and that damage had been caused recently to fencing adjacent to the river. She felt that the youths used the tall bushes in the Picnic Area to hide behind and she requested that these be reduced in height.
