Yorkshire in Bloom: The Yorkshire in Bloom committee members wish to thank everyone for making their lawns and gardens so immaculate for the summer judging, for planting and tending tubs and troughs, window boxes and hanging baskets, for tidying the areas near your homes and picking up empty crisp bags or tossed away plastic bottles. Thank you, too, to the noble souls who raked up, bagged and, in several cases, disposed of the quantity of mown grass, the businesses whose frontages looked so colourful and attractive and the gentlemen who tend the playing field and churchyard. The judges described the playing field and churchyard as the best they had seen. The children gave an impressive presentation on recycling, one of the topics high on the criteria list being assessed. The group who accompanied the judges did so in a friendly and helpful manner and the committee feels that having the same judges for both the spring and summer judging is far better than having different ones. They can see how things have developed in the interim and if any of their suggestions for improvement have been followed up. Whether we have raised our level won’t be known until mid September.

This company from Newbury in Berkshire provided the audience with an evening of entertainment which ranged from the poignant through to laughter, to foot-tapping. The three actors and musicians drew us into the whole feeling of the early 50s as the memories of war were beginning to fade, but not forgotten, and the musical taste of the young generation was changing from jazz to rock and roll. As the last notes of the encores faded the audience showed their appreciation for this fine group of players. The company is currently touring, so if you get the chance you must go and see them.
