Editorial

Another issue packed full of stuff, including some new features (at long last do I hear you say?)

Quite a few notices from the Parish Council this time: on page 13 they advertise the cur-rent vacancy for a councillor, and they issue a notice about Safety on Public Grounds, relat-ing to the use of our sports fields. The Vil-lage’s Annual Meeting is on May 8th, and this will feature a presentation of the ‘Emergency Plan’ by ERYC, as well as reports from com-munity groups.

Also on page 13 is notice of a vacancy at the Village Hall for relief work when the cleaner and caretaker are on holiday. There is more from the Village Hall on page 21.

Routh Church advertises Flowers for Easter on page 21, and Tickton Scouts have a Flower Demonstration on 17th May (page 13)

We start a series of recollections by one op our older residents on page 17, and advertise a walk, entitle ‘The Darker Side of Georgian Beverley’, for the DeFib campaign (page 21)

Do read Tickton Tattle (pages 18, 19) about Paul Whymant’s recovery from cancer and his up-coming 1000-mile cycle trip. More about this when he’s done it, hopefully. Best wishes, Paul!

Lots more, some in photos old and new. And all the regulars report on things done and yet to be done.

Keep your contributions up, and thanks for reading TD (now in our 29th year!)

Church News, Church & Village Events . .

Church News

Well, Jeremy has departed for the lush green fields of Hampstead (!), and Beverley Minster and its associated churches, including All Saints, Routh, and The Church in Tickton, are now in an ‘interregnum’, at the start of the process to recruit and appoint a new Vicar. This will hopefully be before the end of 2017.

Of course, our village church, being an ecu-menical partnership, did have two clergy, An-glican and Methodist, until Ray Coates moved into full retirement last summer. The good news, however in that we have found a re-placement, who will join us in September.

Meanwhile, church life goes on: after nine months of St Paul’s being out of action, we re-turned in January in time for Nancy Sutherby’s funeral, and have enjoyed using the building with its new toilet and kitchen since then. The builders have now begun phase three of the work at St Paul’s, which will provide a new, fully accessible entrance, with drought-proof doors. So we are temporarily back in the Methodist Church for all services. We expect to be able to return in early May.

Alongside is the advert for this year’s Scare-crow Festival, which needs to go into diaries right now! This has become a classic village event, and this is possibly the sixth, held as they have been biennially. The money raised is rather essential to keep our two buildings go-ing, and we hope that with the alterations now nearing completion, St Paul’s church can join the list of community buildings available in the village. More on this when it’s finally done!

Upcoming events:

Palm Sunday: Bishop Alison, from Hull, will lead our worship, at the Methodist Church;

Good Friday: Easter Crafts for all ages, 3.30 to 5 pm, at the chapel;

Church AGM: Sunday April 23rd, 9.30, before the usual service, at the chapel;

May 6,7: Scarecrows . . .

a UK Netflix account your content will be pre-dominantly from the UK site (old UK TV pro-grammes that are no longer available, for exam-ple – remember ‘Z Cars’?). If, say, you were in Spain and wished to watch content from Spanish Netflix you would have to set up a separate Span-ish Netflix account. (Netflix automatically de-faults to whatever country you are in when you sign in). In essence, though, the majority of con-tent is available in all countries.

The Standard subscription (£7.49/month) allows streaming on two devices, which means someone could be watching ‘The Crown’ in the USA and another user (on the same account) could be watching ‘Breaking Bad’ in the UK at the same time. Netflix has grown so much that it now makes its own TV programmes, many of which have won awards such as the TV equivalent of the film Oscars.

So, is it worth using?

In short, yes, if you enjoy films and TV shows which are not available on the usual TV channels. A common criticism of BBC iPlayer is that content is automatically deleted after 30 days (even pro-grammes that you may have previously downloaded) unless you pay to view content on BBC Store, whereas this does not happen to con-tent on Netflix. Also, some shows are only avail-able on Netflix (Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, The Crown, for example), so if these appeal to you and you don’t like the idea of forking out for the DVDs, then Netflix is for you, especially as these shows have received excellent critical ac-claim.

Digital Corner—Netflix . . .

What is Netflix?

Netflix is a US worldwide enter-tainment company, where FOR A SUBSCRIPTION (ie it is NOT free) you can access videos, DVDs, TV programmes and films. It also has its own pro-grammes, such as ‘The Crown’, ‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Stranger Things’, and ‘Orange is the New Black’. You can access content on various devices: Smart TV set, PC, Smartphone, tablet, digital media player, and video games consoles. There are other similar ways to watch TV and films, such as Amazon Prime, iTunes, SkyGo, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4, some of which have free content to-gether with a subscription option (usually for ad free content, for example). Basically it’s like hav-ing access to a gigantic online film library.

How much is it?

There are 3 levels of monthly subscriptions:

Basic, at £5.99, gives you SD (standard definition) content on ONE device at a time.

Standard, at £7.49, gives you HD content on TWO devices simultaneously.

Premium, at £8.99, gives you HD content on up to FOUR devices simultaneously.

When you first subscribe you get one month free, and you may cancel your subscription, upgrade or downgrade at any time. There is no minimum length of subscription. For your subscription you have unlimited films and TV programmes at your disposal. All you need is an email address, a pass-word, and a bank account.

Setting up your profile and watching

It is possible to have several users on one account – useful because you can set individual prefer-ences and Netflix will suggest films and TV shows that you may like. Also, the service conveniently remembers what you last viewed, enabling you to resume watching, while another user is watching a different show.

Using Netflix abroad

You can sign in and use Netflix in almost every country in the world (some exceptions currently are China, North Korea, and Syria) but if you have

Wednesday Club

We meet on alternate Wednesdays at 2 pm in the Methodist Church. Dominoes, Raffles, Re-freshments.

New members would be very welcome.

The next meetings are on April12th & 26th.

Hello Ladies

Easter is just around the corner (or maybe already here), but why not take a break from Spring cleaning/gardening/chocolate eggs

and try out a new activity with the WI. We’ve lots of events planned, both locally and throughout the East Riding which may interest you, such as archery at Burton Constable, pub walks in Beverley or walking the Wolds Way (a bit at a time), mini pottery at Holme-on-Spalding Moor, and glass fusion creations at Cayton, or maybe otter watching at Tophill Low Nature Reserve, plus all the usual craft and foodie things too. I’m sure there’s some-thing for everyone.

We had an unusual new craft to learn at our February meeting which, instead of being a beading workshop was in fact a Kumihimo – the Japanese art of board braiding – evening. We made braided bracelets, and photos of us enjoying the challenge can be seen on the Tickton WI facebook page. You never know what you can do until you’re faced with a set of instructions and some enthusiastic guid-ance. February brought more excitement when more than half of our members joined in the fun of the community panto either behind the scenes or in the audience, and we send our thanks and congratulations to everyone involved. It was most entertaining. Things settled down a bit at our March meeting for the history of Hornsea pottery, and we’re all now looking at those old pieces lurking at the back of a cupboard with new interest. Who knows, they may be worth a small fortune.

Our Annual Meeting on 24th April (a week later than our usual meeting because of Easter) is the next gathering, when we review the previ-ous twelve months, elect the committee and a President for the next twelve months, and in-dulge our competitive spirit with a craft com-petition. On 15th May we’ll be having a fun and games evening (your guess is as good as mine), and reviewing the two Resolutions that will be voted on at the National Federation

AGM in Liverpool in June. One is about ‘Alleviating Loneliness’ and the other concerns the ‘Plastic Soup in our Seas’, both very relevant in their own way and worthy of our considera-tion.

However, there’s no need to feel lonely when there’s a WI in the village, so come along to make new friends, learn new skills and hear in-teresting speakers. We’re here for young at heart girls from 18 to 118 and you’d be very wel-come. Please don’t hesitate to give our Presi-dent, Mary McKenzie, tel 01964 501778, a call if you would like more information, or a chat about the WI in general, or you could look us up on Facebook (Tickton WI), or send us a tweet on Twitter (@ticktonwi). We hope to see you at one of our meetings very soon.

Sue Sadler, for Tickton WI

Our season will start on Friday 21st April with a match at Boothferry Golf Club. This will be a new venue for the society and I hope that we will have a good a turn-out for our opening

fixture as we have had in previous years. The rest of our fixtures are as follows: May 5th Grimsby June 16th Forest Park July 14/15th Captaun’s Weekend August11th Cottingham Parks September15th Oulton Hall October20th Hessle Breakfast rolls and coffee before play, 18 holes of golf followed by dinner except at Hessle when we will eat at the New Inn. Prizes for Winner, Runner-up, Longest Drive and Nearest Pin In the meantime if any golfers wish to join us please contact Ian McKenzie at [email protected] or 01964501778.

Scouts, and Soroptimist Events . . .

Tickton Scout Group

A big meeting night at 1st Tickton Scout Group.

Wednesday 1st February marked the first anniver-sary of 1st Tickton Scout group.

Weeks of organisation had gone into the planning for the celebrations where members from all sec-tions of the group, Beavers aged 6-8yrs, Cubs aged 8-10.5yrs and Scouts aged 10.5-14 years came to-gether to celebrate.

Each section celebrated with investitures, with a total of 19 members making their promises on the night whilst all members of the group came to-gether along with the group’s leaders. Specially invited leaders from District were also attending and even the County Commissioner participated within the celebrations.

The highlight of the night was having all the differ-ent sections of the group together after their inves-titures and celebrating being fully invested mem-bers of the group whilst singing Happy Birthday in the dark and holding their own birthday cake with a burning candle!

Claire Anderson the founder leader of the group said “It’s been a very hard year in many ways but on nights like these you just need to look around the room and see the smiles on the children’s faces, the pride in them of being a member of the Scouting Association, and that’s what makes all it worthwhile”

Scouting in Tickton is now firmly established and going from strength to strength. If you wish to come along as a member or helper and become involved in the fun and excitement within the group we meet most Wednesday evenings in the Chapel on Main Street.

Please contact Claire Anderson for further informa-tion by email at [email protected] or alter-native on 07756916182.

Soroptimist International of Beverley is holding the following events in Tickton this spring:

GARAGE SALE on Sunday 2nd April, 10:30am- 3 pm. This is the time to clear out all those unwanted items from your home and garage. You sell all the items at your house and keep all the profit and we charge you £6 to be on the map and for all the ad-

vertising. If you would like to open your garage please put the money (£6) in an envelope with your name address and phone number and put it through the door at 105 Churchfields or hand it to John at the Post Office.

TABLE TOP SALE same day/time, in the Village Hall where we will be serving refreshments, selling maps, throughout the day. Tables cost £6. If you would like to book a table in the hall please contact Margaret on 01377 271191

If you would like to support us but have nothing to sell please come and join us at the village hall for coffee/lunch and browse around the stalls.

The profit raised at these events is in aid of the Da Vinci machine at Castle Hill hospital. The 2 mil-lion pound machine has been bought by the Allam family and is currently being used to treat prostate and bowel cancer. The surgeons who use it say it is invaluable in the treatment of these conditions es-pecially when the tumours are inaccessible. The machine has not been taken over by the NHS, al-though it is used to treat NHS patients and is cur-rently being funded by donations and fund-raising. Each robotic arm can be used fifteen times and then needs replacing at a cost of £950 (almost £64 per operation).

I do hope that you will be able to support these events.

Thank you Liz Hallett Tickton Indoor Bowls

Nearly at the end of the season and then some of the bowlers will be going off to play outside, hoping for good weather.

Still a few more competitions to play: the Nomi-nated Triples has finished with a win for Pat Porter, John & Kath Fussey after some very tight games.

Also the Open Pairs, for the Chairman’s Cup, has finished after a play-off between the top two pairs: David & Celia Morris and Eric & Beryl Ribey. What a close game that was with the Ribeys winning.

We have had a good season with lots of new play-ers, playing well, some who have not played be-fore.

We have to congratulate the Titans who finished

top of the league. The Tornadoes have some matches left. All the results will be listed at the close of the season, and all the trophies will be pre-sented at our dinner at the Trout, Wansford, in May. We’re looking forward to that as it’s always a lovely meal.

The Cup matches and the Plate are all played at Cave, where all the teams meet up. Lots of fun but a very busy day.

Well, that’s all from Willy Wood, for now!

Jean Whiteside—a memoir

Many readers will know Jean, who lives in Tickton. She

has put together a few things from the story of her life,

mainly here in the East Riding. It is the story of an ordi-

nary person living during the second half of the 20th

century and into the 21st, and many things will strike a

chord with older readers, and, hopefully, be of interest

to those among us whose memories and experiences do

not stretch back as far as Jean’s.

I want to begin my story in 1928 when my dad mar-ried my mum on 12th July. My dad was a tram/bus driver on Leicester City Corporation Transport, and my mum a shorthand typist for a firm in the town.

My dad’s name was Thomas Leonard Hallam and mum's name was Evelyn Hall. In 1928 when a cou-ple married the wife had to give up her job because now she had a husband to support her.

Now begins my story.

I was born on 13th December 1930 at 38 Clumber Road, Leicester. Although the day was cold (or so I was told) my father took me to see my grandpar-ents who lived just four doors away.

A few months later I was Christened at Wesley Hall Methodist Church in Leicester where my mum and dad first met. I was given the name Jean Mary Hal-lam. My godmother was Auntie Dorothy or Doshie, as I later called her. As far as I know I only had one Godparent.

It was here at No. 38, that I grew up and went to the local school. Then, when I was eleven I took the Scholarship exam and transferred to an Inter-mediate School, not far away, in Moat Road. I stayed there for two years and finally moved to Al-

derman Newton Girl's Grammar School in the cen-tre of Leicester. In the latter years at this school I was made Deputy Head Girl and then at the age of 15 years took and passed my School Certificate Exam, at the second attempt. I stayed in the sixth form for a further two years and then applied to Leicester Teacher Training College. This course was only two years long and for the first year was female students only. At the end of the two years I took and passed my Teaching Certificate. I left col-lege, qualified to teach in a Nursery and Primary School. I enjoyed these two years at the College very much and made lasting friends that I still have contact with to this day. My closest friend is Pad-die who came from Nottingham and after college she returned to teach there, where she still lives today. Paddie has a daughter, Susan.

My first teaching appointment was in Coventry Road, Hinckley and shortly transferred to Bristol School, on the outskirts of Leicester and nearer to my home.

Early Years The next part of my story should be called 'I re-member' because these two words will be re-peated many times. I was taken on holiday each year with mum and dad and sometimes with Nanny and Aunt Dorothy, known as Doshie. We hadn't a car so my dad bor-rowed one from a friend at work. I would be six, or seven years old. We often went to York to stay with Aunt Winnie or to Norfolk or to a seaside place called Walcott. I remember one journey which could have turned to tragedy. I was sitting in the back of the car with Doshie. I leant against the door and my arm caught the chain device that opened the door. Consequently, the door flew open and I fell out. Fortunately Doshie grabbed my leg and hung on as I bumped along the grass verge! Doshie couldn't speak to alert my Dad to stop, but the car following behind saw what was happening and blew his horn, repeatedly, and at last the car stopped. A lot of my hair had come out but I was unhurt and we continued our journey. I believe Doshie was struck dumb with fear and that is why she couldn't speak. There are some memo-ries that have stuck in my mind – things that I did – games that I played. (Please turn to page 20)

Jean’s memoir, continued from page 17 There was, of course, no television, no computers or mobile phones, only a crackly radio and we didn't possess a telephone. If we wanted to make a call we used the call-box in the street which meant a short walk and often a wait if someone else was using the phone. I was allowed to play with my friends outside in the street. If it was late in the evening we played our games un-der the street lamp, which in the early days, were gas lamps. The games we played were simple 'chase' and tick' and hide and seek. Two games I remember were 'tick-off' ground and 'tick-off' colours. One was chosen to be 'it' which meant he or she counted to 10 and then had to catch these who were not off the ground or had not found a certain colour to touch. When the weather was fine and sunny, my mum would put the 'clothes-horse' up in the garden and drape a sheet over the top. This was my play house for the day. Here I had my meals and played imaginary games. I spent hours on my swing in the back porch, just outside the back door. I spent many hours drawing, sometimes with Doshie or sometimes on my own. Doshie would draw something and then I would draw something on the same picture. Between us we produced a picture. My Auntie was a very good artist.

Other games I remember play-ing, sometimes on my own or with a friend, were marbles. We played this game by rolling the small glass balls in the gutter and tried to hit an opponent’s marble and take it. I remember playing another game called 'snobs'. It was played by throw-ing stone-like cubes into the air and trying to catch then on the back of your hand. The aim was to catch them all. I played 'hopscotch' on the pavement outside the house. I numbered 10 slabs one to 10, found a suitable piece of slate or flat stone and starting at one, tossed the stone into number one and then hopped all the way to ten and back, picking it up on the way back. When I had thrown the stone into all the numbers then next time I could put my name in a square and the opponent could not put their foot in it. These games must sound so boring to the pre-sent generation, which just goes to show the progress made in entertainment! More from Jean next issue as we return with her to the Second World War.

The Darker Side of Georgian Beverley - Wednesday May 3rd, 6.30 pm

Join us on a short walk featuring “The Darker Side of Georgian Beverley”

Not everything in Georgian Beverley was wonder-ful. Hear about the prison, the workhouse, and the awful roads. Entertainment was different too – from bull baiting to cock fights, together with race meetings, where spectators often joined in! Men and women were still ducked, children went bare foot and servants scolded. There was no piped wa-ter, sewage overflowed into the streets and lots, lots more!

The walk will take place on the evening of Wednesday May 3rd. Please meet outside Norwood House at 6-30pm. We will walk just over one mile aiming to finish 8-15pm.

The walk will be led by Colin Bradshaw and is being offered to raise funds for Tickton Defibrillator Campaign to provide for future maintenance, re-placements and public training. There will be no charge, but you are asked to make a donation at the end of the walk.

If you want to join us:

please book with John at Tickton Post Office or email [email protected]

a maximum of 20 places are available

this event is aimed at adults and is at your own risk.

Tickton School City of Culture Day—more on the back cover

Youth Kaf in February The theme was the U.S.A—can you work out the connection between these pho-tos and that?

Hull City of Culture This term and next we are exploring Hull City of Culture and to start it all off we had our own launch day. We worked in our fam-ily groups, which are made up of a mixture of children from all classes. We then took part in activities involving map building, orienteering, bridge building and art work in the style of David Hockney. We all had a fantastic day and the school was buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm. We are looking forward to find-ing out much more.
