Remembrance Day—11/11/11

On Friday 11th November Class 6 from Tickton School, with Mrs Cholewa, Miss Warlow and Mrs Jackson, walked to the War Memorial to lay a wreath from the school. The Vicar presided at the short Act of Remembrance with its 2-minute silence, and several members of the class read poems and prayers that they had written. Some of these are reproduced on pages 16 and 17.

The children, who are a credit to the school and the village, were supported by about a dozen members of the village community, including two Parish Councillors. A very worthwhile event your reporter thinks.

Tickton WI

Paul Schofield was our speaker on Halloween and he gave us spine-chilling tales about some of the buildings in Beverley during his talk entitled ‘The Ghosts of Beverley’. On a lighter note, we had some fun decorating Halloween biscuits and mak-ing witches hats, and the meeting was a very enjoy-able and sociable event.

Our next meeting is on Monday, 28th November starting at 7.30pm in the small hall at the Village Hall, when we’re going to hear about Christmas customs and traditions and learning how to make a Christingle. Our December meeting will be on the 19th December (this is instead of the 26th when we didn’t think anyone would want to come along on Boxing Day!) when we’re planning to have a Christ-mas social evening, with a touch of magic.

The 2012 programme is now being finalised and, in the New Year, our first three meetings will be on January 30th, February 27th and March 28th. Come along as a visitor before joining if you wish, because

you’re guaranteed a friendly welcome.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any more information, or just for a chat about the WI in general (tel 543797).

Hope to see you at one of our meetings soon.

Editorial

Christmas again, and with it TD goes into its 24th year.—a small group of us started putting it together in November 1989, in time for Christmas. I still have a copy of that first issue as I know one or two other have, and it’s difficult to believe how we produced it. Basically we typed out or hand-wrote the articles, and drew the pictures (or cut them from a book or line drawings produced for church magazines to use) and then stuck everything onto pa-per—literally cut-and-paste—before sending it away to be photocopied. We then stapled by hand before distri-bution around the village, using some of the same volun-teers who do it now! ‘Well done, guys’, as we now say. Thanks and keep it up! There were no adverts in the first issue either, but local businesses soon came on board and enabled TD to be self-financing, and, yes, some of the early advertisers are still with us. Things move on and computer and print technology has not stood still, so the magazine looks rather different today.

Things do move on, as do people, and as you will read below, the time has come for Liz to move on. Thank you in particular, Liz, for your contributions to Tickton Diary over the last few years. We know you’ll miss having to meet that deadline (!) but what you’ve had to say has always hit the spot. Thanks.

There are, as always, items representing a range of vil-lage interests and activities: Sue Sadler has written again about the new WI in the village, and we hope she will become a regular, and there is lots from the school and the pre-school too. As to advertisers, you’ll find one or two new ones if you look through carefully. Within these pages there are a wide range of businesses offering their services: dress hire, roof repairs, window cleaning, legal and insurance services, cleaning services, garden ser-vices, the shops, the pubs and hotel, building services, car mechanics, the milkman, the nurseries, tree surgeon, electrical services, joiners, plumbers, a foot practitioner, a cake maker, a printer, a driving school, TV aerials, beauty care, garage doors, flowers, washing machines, hog roasts, . . . , so have a good look!

Meanwhile, over to Liz for her seasonal contribution, and to all readers of Tickton Diary we wish you a Very Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year.

Revd Liz Allison writes:

In our house we have a number of nativity sets but our favourite one is a Playmobil one. Each year we set it up and the kings are put some distance away and then day by day the kings move round the house getting closer and closer to the nativity scene until they finally arrive at

the stable on the 6th January, Epiph-any. The kings make a long journey to the manger. The Christmas story includes a number of journeys:

-Mary and Joseph journey to Bethlehem (as do many people) for the census

-Shepherds journey from the hillside to visit the infant Jesus

-The kings journey from far off lands to Bethlehem

Christmas also marks the beginning of Jesus’ journey of life on earth, that would ultimately take him to death on a cross and finally resurrection from a grave. On his journey through this earthly life Jesus met and touched many other lives.

I have been reflecting a lot recently on this theme of journey. My life journey has brought me to be the Meth-odist Minister for the Church in Tickton for the last three years which has been a joy and privilege. Now my jour-ney is taking a slightly different turn as I take up an al-most full time post (4 days a week) as a hospital chap-lain at Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital. I have been doing this work part time in conjunction with my post in the Beverley Methodist Circuit for the last 18 months and when an opportunity arose to extend this work I felt it was the right path to take on my continuing journey. I want to say thank you for allowing me to share the journey with you and as I‘m not leaving the area hope I may be allowed to visit from time to time.

Some highlights of the journey at Tickton for me include being part of the excellent partnership which the school has with the church. I was particularly moved by the Easter Story DVD made by the children and subsequently used in their and our Easter Services. The scarecrow hunts, the Ball at Tickton Grange and the stunning flower festival. Along with the regular summer garden party, Christmas play and carols at the New Inn, I could go on and on and on……..

I am very excited that we finally have some plans for the alterations at St Pauls and will continue to keep that pro-ject and all the folk in Tickton in my prayers. As our jour-neys go in different directions and as we journey through Advent to Christmas may we know that God is indeed with us every step of the way. Below is one of my favourite Christmas carols that reminds of that truth, Immanuel, God with us.

Every blessing, Liz

Wise men seeking Jesus, Travelled from afar,

Guided on their journey By a beauteous star.

Church News, . . .

Christmas Events and Good Causes

One of the challenges The Church in Tickton faces is how to manage or finances and fund-raising in such a way that we can pay the bills, save for our building development—what some are calling ‘the Toilet Fund’ - and make contributions to charitable causes. This last is easily forgotten, though church members do contribute as individuals to a variety of causes, for example the Leprosy Mission, a fund supporting two children in Andhra Pradesh in India, and CMS, which supports the work of people like Bishop Nick Dray-son—remember him—in South America. But at Christmas, we have three particular causes which we support, though our Christmas activities.

These are:

The Children’s Society, to which we give the col-lection taken at the Christingle Service on Christ-mas Eve (Methodist Church, 4 pm)

Action for Children, which we raise money for at our carol Singing evening at the New Inn, this year on Monday December 19th, at 7.30

Crisis at Christmas, for which we collect as an ad-ditional offering at each of our four services in the run-up to Christmas itself

We do hope you’ll be able to join us on one or more of these occasions and help us to send a worthwhile amount to each of these charities. Or if you’d like to make a contribution but can’t make the event, it would be gratefully received (via an envelope, clearly marked, to 25 Main Street).

Thanks . . .

. .to Cathy Oliver and her young helpers for organising the Table-top sale at the end of October. The Methodist Church was packed with goods on sale and there was a steady stream of customers. A sum of over £200 was raised to go towards St Paul’s Development Fund. If you missed this sale, keep your eyes open in the New Year because we expect the event to be repeated, and per-haps become a regular feature.

St Paul’s Development

As regular readers and supporters of our various fund-raising events in the last two years will know, the pro-ject at St Paul’s is to equip the church with a toilet, to make space for a kitchen and to create an area suitable for families with small children. Our architect has now

surveyed the building and produced outline plans of what he thinks we can achieve given the space available. These plans have been approved by the local Joint Church Council and now have to go to Beverley Minster PCC be-fore going on to the York Diocese for their official ap-proval and comment. When all this has been accom-plished the architect’s team will flesh out the plan and give some clear idea of costs involved. We hope then to look for grant funding to complement the money we have been raising over the last couple of years. Currently the fund has about £11,000 in it, which includes a very generous gift from Toll Gavel Church of £5000, part of a legacy they themselves received in 2010. You can see that this means we have raised about £6000 locally, due to generous support from village people and hard work from church members and friends. Unfortunately, the bills start now, as we have the first component of archi-tect’s fees to pay very soon!

More events are being planned for next year—watch this space.

Repairs to Stained Glass in St Paul’s

Quite separate from the development project is the re-pair to two of the stained glass windows in the church. The observant visitor (and those who sit beneath it when the wind is from the south) will have noticed that the window in the south west corner had a significant gap between several of the glass pieces. The window is cur-rently in York with a stained glass specialist and we hope it will be returned good as new in the new year, and a more minor repair carried out on the east window. We hope to finance this repair from a bequest of several years ago which was earmarked for the upkeep of the building. It seems that several of the windows, including the one under repair, were made in the mid-nineteenth century by a noted stained glass firm and that Victorian stained glass is now much more appreciated than it was in the last century. Hopefully it’ll be back on display soon. Meanwhile, the Christmas Card which accompanies this issue of TD shows the nativity scene from another of our windows, the one in the centre of the south wall, and gives you chance to see the detail the Victorian crafts-men were able to achieve.

Christmas Card (accompanying this issue)

Do note the events and services on the back of the card as you’ll be most welcome at any or all. But above, all, our very best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year.

Tickton Pre-school... ‘Welcome to our new term....’

(pictures inside front cover)

Well.... the new term has begun and we have wel-comed lots of new children into the pre-school. Every-one has settled in very well and the term has been packed full of exciting activities and new experiences. We have enjoyed Divali, a visit from the police, a cof-fee morning, Halloween and lots of other activities.

Coffee Morning...

Parents and carers were invited to come and enjoy a cuppa and a cake whilst watching the children playing.

Parents were given information about our planned trip to the Forest Schools and were able to speak to the team about the pre-school and their children. It also gave parents chance to look at the activities we do within pre-school and how the pre-school oper-ates.

We celebrated Divali “the Hindu festival of light” in October.

The Pre-school was decorated with fairy lights and the children tried special foods at snack time. They made tea-lights and danced to ‘Bollywood’ music.

Some children dressed up in saris to dance.

“Pre-school looks all sparkly” Abigail 3years

The Police came to visit to talk to the children, he brought hats and jackets for us to wear and the chil-dren got to have a go in the police car!

The sirens were really loud and the children laughed when pressing the buttons for the lights and sirens!

“It’s really loud” Lauren 4 years

“Can I wear a hat?” Ben 3 years

We also held a Halloween Party to raise money for the Pre-school.

We sold nearly 200 tickets and everyone enjoyed get-ting dressed up and dancing at the disco!

It raised over £700 so thank you to all who attended and helped.

Thank you to everyone for the continued support through-out the year. We look forward to an exciting year next year with lots of planned activities and fund-raising in the calendar.

We are currently taking places for September 2012, so please contact us if you would like to arrange a visit, we would love to see you.

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas from Tickton Pre-school and Play pals

Tickton Indoor Bowls

The Bowling Club is well into the competitions with the Open Pairs League playing for the Chairman’s Cup.

Our new players who joined last year are playing very well and making some of the older members sweat a bit with some very tight games. We have a new mem-ber David JE Morris - who joined this year, and he is very good!

Our other competition currently in play is the Drawn Triples, played for the Jean Dean Trophy. Everybody is playing well and we have had some really tight games, which is good.

Humberside Bowls League is also underway with our two teams – the Titans and the Tornadoes. The finals will be in March at North Cave.

Anyone who is interested in playing bowls should come along on a Monday evening. You’d be most wel-come, and you never know, you might get hooked!

That’s all for now,

Geoff Burnett

Geoff, who died so suddenly in October a few days short of his 61st birthday, will be remembered by all who knew him, whether from childhood in Tickton, as a friend and neighbour, or as a customer of Croft Nurseries, as a lovely man. A welcoming smile was almost always on his face and a friendly, cheerful word never far from his lips. He was generous and helpful, and interested in everyone he met.

A large congregation filled Beverley Minster on No-vember 7th, witness to the fact that he was known and loved by such a large number of people.

He will be sorely missed. Our continuing good wishes go to Geraldine, Lucy, Richard and Mike, and their family as they come to terms with their great loss.

Class 4 Trip to The Deep- October 2011

The staff were showing us about the planets. A man showed us how far apart all the planets are. The closest to the sun is Mercury. He told us the rockets are from NASA. Jupiter is the biggest planet, Saturn is the second biggest planet. Saturn also has a ring of rock around it. Jupiter has a giant hole as big as earth. The man also said you can see Jupiter from where we are [on earth]. The order of the planets are

Mercury, Venus, Earth ,Mars, Jupiter ,Saturn, Ura-nus, Neptune.

Pluto used to be a planet but it isn’t any more, be-cause it is too small [a dwarf planet]. He told us that Neptune is called the blue planet. Mars is called the planet of war (Mars is named after a Ro-man God)

I really enjoyed our trip and learnt lots of new facts.

Ben Vokes (Class 4)

Staff, Governors and Pupils are delighted to extend a warm welcome to members of the village com-munity into school to enjoy a home made, nutri-tious lunch from our new production kitchen. Book-

ings can be made through the school office by tele-phoning 01964 542498 or through Mrs Pauline Jef-frey 01964 542800.

The menu is available from the school office. Either the main course choice or the vegetarian option is available. The daily cost is £2.40 or £11.00 for a full week. Cash or cheques payable to ERYC are re-quired with the booking.

Kennings

In class four we have been learning about poems. We have started learning about kennings. Kennings are when you write a poem about an animal or a person. You describe them in two words on each line. The second word has to end in er. There has to be two words and more than two lines. At the end of your poem the reader has to guess what your poem was about because you do not put the name of the animal or person in. It is like a riddle.

We have also been learning about extreme environ-ments. Like the Amazon Rain Forest, Pacific Ocean, the Antarctic and famous living explorers. We did some post-cards pretending we where living in the Antarctic and were writing home to our family. We wrote about what temperature it was and what amazing animals we saw.

Can you guess what which famous explorer this kenning is about?

Who am I?

Then a volley of cannon fire, The weary groans of dying men, their blood soaking the ground below them, Hip flasks fly through the air as their owners are crippled by bullets, Tanks thunder over trenches, their engines splut-tering black smoke which belches from exhausts, Soldiers drag wounded companions, trying to reach the safety of the trenches, Warriors quickly run out of ammunition and mis-fires betray those who trust their aiming skills, One brave comrade runs out with just a pistol in his hand. He is blown back. There was no chance! The battlefield is littered with bodies and only pop-pies grow. Sadness, silence, more gun shots. Victory Church bells echo as the military convoy travels home, Every soldier is in his own world, kept awake by the rush of cold air brushing their faces, The battlefield lays silent whilst the pubs heave with men, clashing their ale mugs together in cele-bration, When all is dark, the moon and stars lift the bodies of the heroes to their final resting place – heaven. The aftermath The stomping of the heavy boots wander home at last. The war is over! Wives await their husbands returning, hoping they bring good news, Mothers anticipate the door creaking open before rushing to greet their sons, Fathers and sons share a manly embrace, Children question themselves ‘When will daddy arrive?’ The door handles on many houses wobble as happi-ness fills the rooms, The welcoming hugs from family and friends seem to last for eternity. For most it was worth it. Victory!

Remembrance Prayer

Dear Father,

On this very special day we remember the soldiers that have died in battle to bring peace to our world.

Also, we remember those who are still fighting to protect us from terrorism and give us our freedom.

Let us think of those who have sacrificed their fam-ily members in Britain’s name. We give thanks to all of them.

Please take care of those who may be injured and still suffering until this day.

Let the scars of war be there as a reminder of their courage, determination and bravery.

From this day on let the poppies that grew in the battlefields keep the memories of the soldiers that died for us alive.

We ask this, not only today but always.

Amen

Tickton School PFA

Tickton School PFA would like to thank all resi-dents who agreed to display “Tickton Pump-kins” for the treasure hunt which ran over the half term holiday. We hope that the many families who took part in the quiz enjoyed the challenge and perhaps learnt something new about our village along the way. Hopefully those residents whose properties were in-cluded en route were not too perturbed to find children pointing “there it is!” outside their homes!

Megan Stonehouse, for the PFA.

The Y2 class joined children from other local church schools for a

day in Beverley Minster. REaction 2 was organised by the Diocese

and involved drama, dance, story and creativity workshops.

Class R Heroes . . .

Class R had a visit

from two of our own

heroes, a school

Governor and a

Grandparent. We

learnt all about what

a police officer does

and how they help people. We shared

some of

our

learning

with

them too.

Class 4’s Trip to ‘The

Deep’

In this picture the years 3 and 4 are performing their Harvest Festival. Every one is singing a song from

the Caribbean. The song is about mangoes. At the front of the picture you can see six dancers.

Why does every one have bright colours on and how many boy and girl dancers are there?

All the people in the farvest festival have bright colours on

because the people in the Caribbean normally wear bright

clothes. (They also represent the colours of the flags of the

countries.) The dancers have colourful pom-poms because

they are also pretty and bright to match their outfits. Mrs

Joy and Mrs Gibbs chose three boys and three girls to do the

dance.

What about the rest of the harvest not just the bit in

the picture? The rest of the harvest started by naming all

the small islands of the Caribbean. Next they pretended they

were on an airplane and going to Barbados- this links to the

harvest because when they got off the plane there was a Ready Steady Cook Caribbean style .In the

Ready Steady Cook there were two contestants .They showed all the savoury ingredients and fruits that

are grown in the Caribbean islands. They also talked about the importance of food miles and trying to buy

food locally.
