Sixteen Years of Local News! CLAPHAM & DISTRICT NEWSLETTER Number 100, April 2016 Sixteen years of local news! With this 100th edition of our newsletter we celebrate nearly 16 years of chronicling the everyday life in this parish. We must congratulate the team of present and past volunteers, without whom there would be no Clapham and District Newsletter. Reading through the first issue, September 1999, we read of the ‘recent’ ‘Village Appraisal’ in which the idea of a ‘Local Newsletter’ emerged, it ‘was deemed a good idea, so here we are!!’ Also in that first edition we had news of; the next Street Market, the visit of the Chernobyl Children, the local bus service, the WEA, whist drives, Craven Writers Circle, Clapham Reading Room, Clapham Community Playgroup, Age Concern, Clapham Dance Club, Church and Chapel news, a sports day at Newby, and the preparations for celebrating ’99 making way for the millennium’. There was also a snippet of history: ‘Did You Know? On April 12th, 1845 a local meeting decided by 23 votes to 15 that a substantial footbridge be built in the place of the broken bridge over the river in the Village of Clapham. This to cost £15’. There were no commercial adverts in that edition but such support was solicited in the second edition which had already attracted two services, Clapham Village Store & Post Office, and James Marshall, Joiner and Carpenter. The publication was and still is the product of North Yorkshire. The services offered by the loyal volunteer industry: the meeting to assess what to advertisers, the reports and intimations of all the include in the edition, the production, layout and many clubs, groups and adhoc initiatives and the news editing and then proof reading followed after printing from the faith congregations, are all the substance by distribution.

  • Clapham & District Newsletter
    CLAPHAM & DISTRICT NEWSLETTER Number 88, April, 2014 Clapham Community Shop Steering Group Following the overwhelming backing of the community, the Steering Group has begun to look into the feasibility of the village store becoming a community-owned and run business. However, Terry had to make the difficult decision to close the shop on 24 May, despite last-minute efforts initiated by a villager to rally support. We wish Terry well for the future and for his other business interests. As a newly-formed voluntary group we are not in a position to immediately step in and take on the shop, but we will be continuing with the feasibility study, once we have reviewed what we now need to do and the timetable for doing it. An immediate task is to liaise with the Post Office about the possibility of a temporary ‘outreach facility’ being set up in the village. The Steering Group comprises Nick Burton, John Dawson, Diane Elphinstone, James Innerdale, Wendy Jennings, Eddie Leggett, Sue Mann, Esther Pugh, Denise Wilson and me.

    CLAPHAM & DISTRICT NEWSLETTER Number 99, February 2016 End of an era as 100-year-old trees go A few weeks ago folk travelling along Old Road, In 1920 he seems to have planted 30 or 40 near the New Inn, would have seen two tree Scots pines alongside the wall by the road. Other surgeons hard at work felling a row of tall and trees have been added or have seeded themselves, slender conifers standing close to the roadside. The making a long narrow screen between the hall and falling trees marked the end of an era; they were the the garage. last reminders of Clapham’s first commercial garage In later years the garage burned down, was rebuilt, and filling station. then replaced by more modern garage buildings That garage had been erected on the orders of which in 2009 were demolished to make way for Claude Barton, who was the Farrer family’s agent housing. The trees survived all these changes – until in Clapham for over 40 years. He was the man December 2015, very nearly 100 years. who supervised the affairs of the Ingleborough Ken Pearce Estate on behalf of Mr Farrer; he was a big man in more than one sense. At the end of the First World War Mr Barton suspected that the days of the big landed estates like Ingleborough were numbered and he feared that soon he might be out of a job. So he prepared an alternative source of income for himself – a commercial garage and filling station. The Old Road was then one of the main roads to Scotland and the north of England, and motor vehicles were driving through Clapham in ever increasing numbers; a garage should catch lots of passing trade, he thought.

    48 Could You Be A Responder? By Sue Halsall Yorkshire Ambulance Service operates a Community First Responder (CFR) scheme where volunteers are trained to use life-saving skills in their local area. In many medical emergencies the first few minutes are critical and if effective treat- ment can be provided at this time, lives can be saved and disability reduced. This is especially true for heart attacks and medical conditions that have caused someone to lose consciousness and CFRs may arrive before an ambulance, especially if the nearest ambulance is already attending an emergency. The CFRs are trained in basic life support (BLS) skills in- cluding cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrilla- tion and oxygen therapy and are equipped with an auto- mated external defibrillator (AED) oxygen and a first aid kit. This shows the AED closed and then opened ready for use. CFRs receive regular training sessions usually in Bentham Fire Station or in Burton Vil- lage Hall and must requalify every 6 months in order to stay in the scheme. Once quali- fied, we organise a rota for going on duty and most of us go on duty 4 or 5 times a month for about 10 hours at a time, though this depends entirely upon how much time we can spare. Sometimes things crop up or dogs need to be walked and so we do what we can but call outs are not that frequent. The YAS mobile phone is used so you can get on with jobs in the house or garden with the phone in your pocket.
