October Rudston Newsletter Neil .Pub Rudston Newsletter Also available, in full colour, on line at :- www.rudston.org.uk/newsletter November 2018 This month’s Newsletter is kindly sponsored by: Hall Bros (Fuels) Ltd & Hall Bros (Heating) Ltd 1 Editor’s Letter Dear Everyone, What a busy time this has been for the village. As well as all the usual clubs and activities, there has been extra events. The Rudston Village Show was an amazing event this year, with so many entries. I was honoured to be one of the judges and what an experience that was. The standard of the entries was stunning. I just wanted to give everyone a prize! Well done to all those who submitted such thoughtful entries. A big thank you to Teresa and her team for organising yet another successful Rudston Show. The play, “This might Hurt” by John Godber was a gently fun- ny, but quietly impassioned tragi-comedy. Despite the usual Godber touches, with rhyming couplets, the mood of the play was serious, but with laughter. It gave us much to think about, as the play inves- tigated what we deserve and often receive from the health service. It was wonderful to see such a large audience; ninety four people. We really couldn’t have squashed anymore in! It has given the vil- lage hall committee much to think about, in terms of purchasing some sort of staging, so that all the audience has a clearer view. There are more events in the near future, these being a Bingo and Quiz evening and the start of the Village Hall Pop Up Pub. Read on for more details. Special thanks to Chris Gatenby for sending us the details of the young men from Rudston, who died in World War 1; particularly poignant as we approach Remembrance Day in the 100th year an- niversary. Sue Tompkin Email: [email protected] tel: 420705 MESSAGE FROM THE TODLER GROUP A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE WHO DONATED PRIZES FOR OUR TOMBOLA AT THE VILLAGE SHOW.

Thanks to John Walker for arranging this. The next meeting of the Rudston Heritage History Group will be on Thursday 22 nd November at 7.00pm in the Village Hall when there will be a presentation on the ‘Malton Dodger’ by Wolds Railway Heritage group: admission £2.00 includes refresh- ments. All Saints, Kilham have some special arrangements in the run up to Remembrance day this year: ‘Lest We Forget’. Plans are underway for an exhibition of World War 1 remembrance & memorabilia in Church at Kilham. The church will be open from 12 - 4pm on Sunday, 4th November through until Sunday, 11th November from 10 am - 4 pm. Each day at noon will be a time of worship and prayers for Peace and Hope and there will be an opportunity to light a candle for Peace or for a loved one. Light refreshments will be available to visitors every day. As well as artifacts, there will be a projected presentation from the Imperial War Museum. On the pews are 20 cardboard silhouettes, each one representing a young man from the village, whose life was snatched from him. Continued on page 4 3 From page 3 The story of each of these young soldiers, in most cases including a photograph, will be displayed so that they will become real to us and we can acknowledge what happened to these, our men and boys. To the left of the pathway, visitors will see a profile of a WW1 soldier, designed and crafted in Kilham. After sunset the shadow of this soldier is cast on the clock tower each evening. It is well worth driving through Kilham and past the Church one evening just to see it. On Saturday, 10th November at noon , at All Saint’s, Kilham, following the short act of worship, a light, 'take-away' or ‘eat in’ lunch will be available featuring food the soldiers might have had; ham and corn beef sandwiches, hash, trench cake etc. Every Blessing Information of interest from Harry M Whalley Email [email protected] Hello, as you can see I live in France & notice you are twinned with Millau, the site of the fantastic bridge over the Tarn . You may be interested , but you are probably already aware, of the Menhir in Dol de Bretagne, a very similar monolith to the one at All Saints Churchyard in Rud- ston. I have uploaded a pic from the Wik- ipedia website where a detailed descrip- tion is available; very interesting !! We now have a new cooker hood/fan in the village hall kitchen. This was very kindly donated by MICHAEL ROEBUCK , Westerland, Marton Lane, Rudston It has really made cooking in the kitchen much easier, also the fire alarm no longer goes off at the sight of a frying pan. Thank you , Michael from all the residents of the village. 4 This is being written before Oc- tober’s meeting when John Walker is talking on “Life in Rudston in the 1800’s” This is based on the Consta- ble’s book which has given some re- markable material on Rudston, and I know it will have been a very interesting and entertaining evening. The November meeting is on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22 at 7pm in the Village Hall, when the Wolds Railway Heritage Group will give a presentation on “The Malton Dodger” This should be a fascinating presentation. Everyone welcome, ad- mission £2 which includes refreshments. Chris Gatenby Bowls club news this month follows Octo- RUDSTON ber's annual general meeting. As men- BOWLS tioned at the start of the season numbers dwindled, but accounts remain healthy. CLUB There are plans to spend an amount of cash over the close season though. (Outside funding has been investigated in the past without success). The club's committee continues unchanged, likewise my own “temporary” position of secretary. The annual lunch, for which we pay, is to be held at the Sefton Hotel, Bridlington, on the 9 th December. Trophy presentations are also held then. The new Indoor season has been affected by village hall booking problems, but should be settled on regular Wednesday afternoons from November. Numbers tend to fluctuate, but the invitation still holds to anyone new to the game. Phillip Crossland Congratula(ons to local author, Eileen Ward who has had another boo, published.

  • April Rudston News to Neil.Pub
    April 2014 This month’s Newsletter is kindly sponsored by: Sue & Nick Tompkin 1 Editor’s Leer Dear Everyone, First of all, may I offer a warm welcome to any new residents who have recently joined our village? Is it a lovely time to move here, as Spring is bursting into life, with exquisite dis- plays of daffodils. I hope that you like the front cover, showing the said flowers, because Nick risked “life and limb”, kneeling at the edge of the road, as cars travelling at pernicious speeds hurtled out of the village. Speaking of which, John Croft has written an article, on page 14 about the unacceptable pace at which vehicles zoom down Eastgate. Thank you this month to Paula Beresford, who has written about the work of the “Village Lottery”. We really appreciate the people who regularly drop the lottery numbers through our letter box and then call to collect the payments: always with a cheesy smile. Sadly it is the last installment of Albert’s memories, so I have a spare page for someone wishing to relive the past, or indeed tell us about anything which you think would interest our read- ers. Best wishes for Easter, Sue Tompkin Email: [email protected] Contributions for the May Newsletter to me please by April 25th nick 2 Memories of a villager….continued To carry on with the sheep shearing story, Albert tells me that he was able to buy a new Raleigh bicycle ,with his well deserved earnings. Albert’s family kept a pig and at the end of the year, it was Al- bert’s job to walk the unfortunate animal to the butcher's shop to be slaughtered.

We are having problems with the printer again, so apologies for the fact that this edition will probably be late. Welcome to anyone who has recently come to live in our lovely village. For those who are keen to be involved in village activities, there is a list of people, whom you can contact on the back page. Thank you to all those people who have sent good wishes on my recovery following a broken ankle. It is a long process, but things are improving. They say that misfortunes come in threes; well I can cer- tainly attest to that. When we returned from a wonderful cruise at the end of October, we realised that I had left my IPad in the cabin. I thought that I wouldn’t see it again, but I am informed that it will be re- turned to me in March...it is at present enjoying its own cruise around the Caribbean. Then followed the afore mentioned break and when I returned from hospital, what should I find in the post, but a speeding fine. ..in over 50 years of driving, I have never so much as incurred a parking fine! Hopefully that is the end of my misfortunes for the time being anyway! It was a shame that the Village Hall Party had to be cancelled, but it did seem that lots of people had previous engagements.

  • Trust Expands Its Role to Derwent the Trust Has Recently Taken on the Task of Improving the River Derwent
    EAST YORKSHIRE CHALK RIVERS TRUST Newsletter 5 - June 2011 Trust expands its role to Derwent The Trust has recently taken on the task of improving the River Derwent. The Derwent catchment is the largest catchment in Yorkshire and includes a great variety of habitats and species of plant and animal. It is highly valued in some parts as a Special Area for Conservation (SAC) and there are several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Parts of the catchment lie within the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This requires a delicate balance to be maintained between exploitation and conservation, preservation and enhancement of the local environment. The Trust is starting to work with many different interest groups to tackle problem areas. Connectivity within the river corridor and their habitats both in regards to riparian habitat and aquatic migration is an important issue in order to facilitate natural processes to take place and enable the diverse flora and fauna to complete their life cycles. One issue that the Trust will be addressing is fish passage at various man-made structures that prevent many fish from reaching their preferred areas that enable their natural life cycles to be completed. For instance, river lamprey is one of the species for which the lower Derwent is designated as a SAC. These migrate to sea to feed as adults, but have their breeding and nursery areas in freshwater. They need gravel on which to spawn, but their larvae live in silt, so the adults need to migrate to particular areas to breed.

  • Sacred Springs and Holy Wells of the East Riding
    Sacred Springs and Holy Wells of the East Riding ‘If I were called in / To construct a religion/ I should make use of water’ wrote Philip Larkin in his poem ‘Water’. All religions have done so. Water is the source of life and can kill. It heals, cleanses, purifies, and destroys. It’s mysterious, fascinating and capricious: it springs from the earth, the underworld. It shows us our own reflection as could nothing else in prehistory and was used for prophecy. In the Middle Ages, holy water was so precious it was locked away, and the belief of the people in the power of holy wells and springs was so feared by the zealots of the Reformation that they were banned and some destroyed. My interest in this subject was first piqued by this rather quirky book written in 1923 by the Reverend William Smith, which has been referenced by researchers into this topic ever since, although many of the wells and springs he identified are long gone. Why? The usual culprits of the Anthropocene: over-exploitation, abuse and neglect. The water table of the chalk aquifer has been so depleted for drinking and farming that many springs have run dry. Some have been filled in, ploughed over, built upon or repurposed as rubbish dumps or cattle troughs. Others are neglected and unfindable among the brambles. But some have been saved and a few of these we’ll look at. But first we’ll go deep into prehistory to look for local evidence of water awe from ancient times. A visit to the Great Wold Valley, which now holds the Gypsey Race, flowing from Wharram le Street into the sea at Bridlington, must mystify even the casual observer.
