This first newsletter has been produced thanks to a grant from the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty grants pro-

gramme.

Swinton Parish Newsletter

The Steering Group which

was formed in September

2009 has spent much time

over the past few months

analysing the results of the

questionnaire which went out

to all residents just after

Christmas.

These results, together with

additional comments and

other articles of interest are

forming part of the Swinton

Village Plan which is currently

being compiled and will hope-

fully go to print by the end of

September.

This Plan is something which

all parishes have been asked

to do and can be used as a

tool to inform, campaign and

lobby for the services we need

in the village, as well as pro-

duce an Action Plan as to

how we will try to do this.

One of the main results from

the questionnaire was that

people would like more vil-

lage events and if the turnout

for the Treasure Hunt and

barbecue was anything to go

by, they will support them!

The Steering Group will be

planning an official launch of

this and there will be one

copy for every household in

the village which will be hand

delivered.

Saturday 10th July, a hot,

sunny day saw the official

opening of Swinton’s new

play area. This was the culmi-

nation of a period of fund

raising.

The opening ceremony was

performed by Mrs Sarah Jane

Voeleker whose grandfather

Clive Behrens of Swinton

Grange gave the piece of land

to the village on the under-

standing that it was to be used

as a playground. Mrs Voeleker

told the assembled villagers

how delighted she was to be

asked to perform the opening

ceremony and stated ― had my

grandfather been alive today

he would have been abso-

lutely delighted to see how

well the area had been main-

tained and what good use the

land had been put to‖.

Jessica Farrow presented Mrs

Voelleker with a bouquet of

flowers.

Once the ribbon had been

cut the children were enter-

tained by. Magic Mike, the

magician and his girls who did

face painting, and a bouncy

castle courtesy of Charlie

Farrow.

Matty Hood. York City junior

coach organized football

coaching and a world cup

penalty shoot out.

Prizes included tickets to see

York City.

Burgers and hot dogs were

provided by Bob Hornsey.

Thank you to everyone who

supported the project, to

those who helped on the day

and to the villagers who

turned out in such numbers.

gramme.

This is the first of many fu-

ture newsletters for the Parish

of Swinton. Our aim is to

bring information and articles

that are of interest to the Par-

ish community to every

household. It was an hearten-

ing sign to see so many resi-

dents turn out for the Village

Treasure Hunt. Our thanks go

out to everyone who helped

organise and run the event.

Also a big well done, to all

who carried on through the

heavy rain to complete the

Course.

To build on the success of the

Treasure Hunt we need volun-

teers to organise the Safari Night

and the Bonfire Night events.

Sewerage Overflowing Drains Its with great concern I write

to highlight the disgusting

sight of raw sewerage over-

flowing from a Manhole adja-

Junction of West and East

On bringing this incident to

Health Issues. Dog fouling can cause many problems, the most serious of which is in-fection with Toxocara canis. This is a roundworm which can be transferred to humans following contact with dog mess. Symptoms are aches and pains, bronchial condi-tions and in more severe cases can lead to damage to eyesight

Today when I stepped outside

my door and walked down the

drive, I walked onto fresh dog

pooh. This is both disgusting

and a health hazard. Would

dog owners who take their

dogs for walks, Please be

responsible owners and clean

their dogs mess up.

Eh waiter, excuse me a minute

I'm not finding' fault, but dear

me' taties is lovely and beef is

alreit But what sort of pudding

can this be? It's what? York-

shire Puddin'? Now cum cum

cum cum.It's Yorkshire Puddin'

yer say? I'll grant yer it's some

sort o' puddin', owd lad.But not

THE Yorkshire Puddin', nay,

nay. Now reit Yorkshire Pud-

din's a poem in batter, T'mek

it's an art, not a trade So just

listen t' me and I'll tell t' thee

How t' first Yorkshire puddin'

were made. A young angel wi

day off from 'eaven, Were flyin'

abaht Ilkla Moor, When t' angel,

poor thing, got cramp in a wing

An' cum down at an owd

women's door. T' owd woman

said "Eee - it's an angel. By

'eck, I'm fair capped to see

thee. I've noan seen yan afore

- but tha's welcome,

Come on in, an' I'll mash thi

some tea." T' angel said, "By

gum, thank you kindly."

Though she only supped one

mug o' tea, She et two drippin'

slices and one Sally Lunn.

Angel's eat very lightly yer

see.Then t'owd woman

looked at clock sayin' "Ey up,

t'owd feller's back soon from

t'mill. You gerron wi' yer tea,

but please excuse me, As I'll

atter mek puddin' fer Bill."

Then t' angel jumped up and

said gie us it 'ere, Flour, water,

eggs, salt an' all, An' I'll show

thee 'ow we meks puddins,

Up in 'eaven for Saints Peter

and Paul. So t' angel took

bowl and stuck a wing in,

Stirring it round, whispering

"Hush" An' she tenderly

ticked at t'mixture, Like an

artist ed paint wi a brush.

Then t'owd woman asked "

'ere wor is it then, T'secret o'

puddins made up above?"

"It's nowt i' flour or watta,

said t'angel, "Just mek sure

that tha meks it wi' luv."When

it were done , she popped it i'

t'oven, "Gie it nobbut ten

minutes", she said. Then off

t'angel flew, leavin' first York-

shire Puddin', That ivver were

properly med.An' that why it

melts in yer gob just like

snow. An' as light as a

maiden's first kiss, An' as soft

as the fluff on t'breast of a

puff,

displayed a streak of Dunkirk

sprit, with some making a

quick detour to their home to

change into dry clothing and

then complete the route.

At the Sports Centre a BBQ,

and other food had been pre-

pared for the participants.

The Sports Centre was also

available with the Bar open.

Whilst everyone was indulging

in Beef burgers and Sausages

and Sweets, John marked the

returned Clue Sheets.

The Winner was declared

after marking the answers and

time taken to complete the

course.
