I'll be soon moving to the area, and I keep bees!! Unfortunately, I can’t keep them in my garden as my garden will not be suitable. I'm looking for a small plot/piece of land where they can be of no nuisance to people or animals, and they won’t bother them either. I will require easy to access. I'm looking to move them wintertime, not straight away. In return for some honey of course! If you have such a place unused, then please contact: Zsusanna Gabor on mobile: 07432 032680 or e-mail me on: [email protected] FOR SALE Small Chest Freezer - Fridgemaster MCF95 Excellent clean condition. 95ltr, 54cm wide, 56cm deep, 84cm Compact Class A+ energy rating Free standing £50 Please call Jules: 015242 36332 or Mobile: 07805 175113 9 HORNBY PENSIONERS Another Success Thanks to Kath, Bibby's and the weather gods for giving us another very enjoyable trip in July through some very beautiful countryside to Kirkby Stephen, Barnard Castle and Windermere. A good time was had by all. And so, to the next one: Kath's Korner: The Hornby Trippers' next outing is to Boundary Mill in Colne, and we'll have fish and chips at Banny's Restaurant whilst we're there. We'll stop at Skipton on the way. It's a 10am start, picking up at the usual places, and back around 6pm. Government recommendation is to continue wearing facemasks inside buildings and on buses, so we'll have to adhere to that. I'll check with Bibby's how many we can take and will be taking bookings by phone (015242 21845 or 07597774681) from the end of July. I will be in Hornby Institute to collect money on the 3rd and 4th of August from 10am to 12 midday - Regards, Kath. Looking Forward? We will be having a committee meeting at the be- ginning of August. Among other things, we will be discussing the pro- posed planning of post-pandemic events for the daytime rather than during evenings. So please let me (Annie) know, as soon as possible, whether you think that is a good idea or not by ringing 015242 21100 (please leave a message if I don't answer your call). Thank you. We really do want to know what YOU think, so that we can plan events that most members will want to attend. We are still hoping to hold our AGM in September, followed by a social event. Of course, it depends on how the pandemic goes, so details will be published only in next month's newsletters. In the meantime, take care, stay safe and enjoy the summer. HORNBY VILLAGE TRUST We are pleased to see that the bridge is being repaired and are also grateful for the generous weekly payments that the council have offered for parking and using the car park. 10 HORNBY SCHOOLS (PART 2) (Andrew White) The school known as ‘Admiral Tatham’s School’ survived until 1872 when work began on a much larger building, now the Nursery, which opened in 1874. The school was a result of the Education Act of 1870, which extended education to all children. It was paid for by John Fos- ter, owner of the Castle and a very rich man, whose wealth was de- rived from Black Dyke Mills at Queensbury, Halifax, famous for its brass band. As built the school had but one classroom, two cloakrooms and a house for the Headteacher. Classes were held back-to-back in the main room, with a junior teacher and sometimes pupil teachers. Later, in 1894, another classroom was added for infants and the school took children from the age of five to fourteen, although children could leave before then if they had achieved the right grades.
