Thanks to John and Harry

Harry Norman and his grandfather, John Morris, have recently renovated the church gates at St Paul’s, replacing and refurbish-ing some of the decorative elements and re-setting the hinges to make the gates work properly.

Many thanks to them both, from the church.

The project at St Paul’s is com-plete! Gone is the beloved pink paint, the dark Victorian doors, and the awkward entrance step. And it now has a toilet and kitchen to match many of our homes. (See page 12)

Editorial

Tickton Diary was launched by the church un-der the current Editor in December 1989 and has, over nearly 30 years, been one of the ways in which The Church in Tickton offers something for the village and those of us who live and work here.

However, there was always going to become a time when the Editor would want to step down, and now is that time.

There is no successor in place, but there is an opportunity for an individual or group to step in and take it over, preferably quite quickly if the momentum of contributors and advertis-ers is not to be allowed to flag. Any group or individual who is interested should contact Richard Powell (see contacts box on page 30) to explore how this might easily be done, pre-serving that which needs preserving, at least in the short term, for example the electronic pages—Tickton Diary works currently in MS Publisher.

Meanwhile, we will move towards closing po-sitions with current advertisers, presenting final accounts as appropriate.

But, this will definitely be the final Tickton Diary under my Editorship so I need to thank for the last time the many, many people who have helped over the years: contributors, ad-vertisers, deliverers, printers, church minis-ters, etc., too many to list by name, but some of whom who have been involved since De-cember 1989! Thank you all.

Minister’s Letter, Church News, . . .

A new Vicar (for Beverley Minster, Tickton Routh, Woodmansey and Molescroft) was appointed in early June though his name has not been announced yet, as at mid-July). Meanwhile, Revd Gareth Atha, who had been Curate under Jeremy Fletcher has been in sole pastoral charge of this rather large parish. So, as he looks forward to a senior colleague joining him soon, he has the opportunity to write our ‘Minister’s Letter’.

Dear friends,

When was the last time that you looked in the mirror? For most of us that will be sometime ear-lier on today – either this morning when we brushed our teeth, shaved or combed our hair. If you have gone out to an appointment some-where, then perhaps you looked at your reflection to make sure that you were neat and tidy before stepping out of the front door. But apart from these fleeting checks, when was the last time you actually stood in front of the mirror and had a really good look at yourself?

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that we should all rush to the mirrors and spend hours admiring and adoring ourselves. The Bible clearly warns us not to fall into vanity, but it also teaches us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139, verse 14). Everything about us, from the colour of our hair, to the shape of our nose, was designed by God. We are how he has made us, and that means that we should take care to look after ourselves.

Often we are so busy that we hardly glance at our-selves in the mirror before rushing out. I’d like to encourage you to make sure you have a good look at yourself at least once a day, not out of vanity or narcissism, but out of an acknowledgement that we are made by God. Taking this time allows us to slow down for a few brief moments before begin-ning the next task, and ask ourselves “am I looking after myself today?”

Remember that you are precious to God, precious enough that he sent his Son into the world for you. If he can do that for us all, then surely we can make sure we look after ourselves for him.

God bless,

Gareth

THE CHURCH IN TICKTON WHAT NEXT?

In 2010 the relatively new Vicar, Jeremy Fletcher, was asked by long-standing church member Nancy Sutherby if we could provide a toilet for the church of St.Paul’s. She was, I suspect , taken aback when he replied that he thought it was a good idea. As she later said, she had asked each vicar and curate in turn for as long as she could remember, and they had all said it was too diffi-cult or would take too long or cost too much.

From any sensible viewpoint they were right, but we didn’t know that then, so we set off optimisti-cally with our Mile of Money, Flower Festival, sponsored events, Tickton Grange Ball and much else. In this we were encouraged by our then Methodist Minister Liz Allison and later by Ray Coates.

We received a great deal of local support, and with the knowledge that it had been done once - who remembers the box porch, fixed pews and brown linoleum of the unheated Methodist church, also at that stage minus a toilet - thought it can be done again.

This time, as then, the bulk of the money was raised through charitable funding, all granted to be used by small communities who have a vision for the future by committees who can see the bigger picture. This was particularly the case with our fellow local church communities from Bever-ley Minster and the wider Methodist church.

We are grateful to them all.

So here we are in 2017.

The building has been completed and redeco-rated, with a toilet block fit for use by all, storage, small kitchen, an area which is easy to use for families with prams and wheelchairs, a main ac-cess with no step and two new properly-fitting doors, to be more welcoming, extend our useable space and hopefully cut down the heating bills.

Now we can start work, for of course no one gives that amount of money for the few to use for an hour a week, and just as the Methodist church has become a building for community-wide use, so hopefully will St.Paul’s.

cific meeting space for those who live alone.

Community events such as the open afternoon we started with, small concerts and wild-life ap-preciation days will give opportunities not found elsewhere in the village.

Last but not least, this is a building which sprung

from the medieval Beverley Minster, as well as

the wider Christian community. It is the hope of

those who put time and effort in to modernising

the building for the 21st century that it will keep a

visible reminder in Tickton of the love, accep-

tance and growing community that has been the

heart of the Christian message since Jesus

brought it to us.

Sunday July 9th

Just to say a big thank you to everyone who helped in any way to make the ‘Lazy Sunday Afternoon’ a success. We managed to raise £951.32, which is brilliant considering the con-straints of working in the churchyard.

Pauline Jeffery

St. Paul’s has received grants with this in mind and if you have any ideas of how it can be more use to the community we would love to hear from you.

As a starter here are some of the ideas dis-cussed with funders.

Our main purpose is to offer more welcome to those who come to celebrate the main events of life whether that be a big welcome for a new life at a Christening or a reflection week by week at regular worship.

We already know that the kitchen, properly managed, can serve over a hundred cream teas but what else?

By working more closely with the school, we can offer opportunities for looking at art, his-tory, wildlife, story-telling , performance and activities related to faith as well as offering space for Art exhibitions etc.

For those who want peace we can offer quiet space, with access to the church for rest and reflection and in time including benches in the churchyard.

Coffee-and- cake mornings can help give spe-

lent for older iPads) connector at one end and a tiny white box at the other with a HDMI socket. Connect all the cables, plug the Lightning connector into your iPad charging socket, and you are ALMOST there!

Switch on the iPad and navigate to what you want to look at, then switch on your TV set and find the ‘source’ button on the remote. You should be given a choice of HDMI1, HDMI2 (depending how many HDMI sockets you have), AUX, EXT and a host of others. For most people you will click on HDMI2. If this doesn’t work, just try each of the others until you see the same image on the iPad as on the TV set. You can then press play, pause, etc, on the iPad as you would normally, but this time you can see everything on the larger TV screen. Volume will probably be still con-trolled by your TV remote.

Once you have finished watching, go back to ‘source’ again, and click on HDMI1 (most people) and this will return you to your usual TV screen.

As I mentioned above, you can access the subtitles on iPad content, but these are not available on catch up content on the TV for some reason, so I find this really handy.

Hope you enjoy using this, and don’t forget to let us know (editor’s email address at the front of the Diary) what you think of the articles, or give us requests for any particular topics, and if we can help we will ad-dress them!

Forest Park Golf Club 16th June

What a day, we had cold winds, sunny dry periods and the odd spot of rain to contend with.

Not to be put off we enjoyed this parkland course which offered sometimes testing golf and at others fairly repetitive holes but all very well maintained and quite attractive.

Doug Lloyd came in with the goods followed by Ian Reynolds, longest drive was won by the mighty Suham Sudani and Ian McKenzie's accuracy won nearest the pin prize.

We all had a good meal and fellowship after our game and now look forward to Captain's weekend which be held this year at Forest Pines in Lincolnshire on 21/22 July.

If any golfers out there would like to join us please contact Ian McKenzie on 01964 501778 or ikmck@ikmck.karoo.co.uk

Digital Corner—Tablets and TVs . . .

Although this is about connecting an iPad to a televi-sion set, most of what follows would apply to any tab-let, and where there are differences I have highlighted this.

When we go away I often download TV programmes from iPlayer to watch when out of the UK, as you can-not use the iPlayer service from outside the UK. I think this also applies to the other catch-up services. There are several things that I find irritating about this. For most programmes it is just as good to watch them on a tiny screen, but there are some pro-grammes which need a bigger screen – on a TV set. Another irritation is that unless you sit with the iPad propped open on a table, you have to sit and hold it on your lap, and when watching a feature film this can become very tiring on the arms. The third irritation is that it is not very comfortable for several people to watch a programme on an iPad at the same time, unless they all sit far away and then of course they can’t see what’s on the screen! One thing which IS good, however, is that you can get subtitles on the iPad on programmes downloaded from iPlayer (just click on the little pink S) but if you download the same programmes from iPlayer direct to your TV the option to have subtitles does not work.

So, in order to connect your iPad to a TV set you will need one or two things: a Smart TV which has at least one HDMI socket, an HDMI lead, a Lightning connec-tion (or other older iPad connecting lead), and of

course something on your iPad to watch.

This is what an HDMI lead looks like. Both ends are the same. You can get them very cheaply in different lengths.

Most modern TVs have a least one HDMI socket, and they are also becoming common on many laptops too.

If your laptop or tablet has its own HDMI socket, no problem, simply connect the two with the other end of the HDMI cable. However, if your tablet does not, and iPads fall into this category, then you will need a connector. For an iPad this is a short (about 10-11cm/4-5inch) white lead with a Lightning (or equiva-

Hello Ladies

We hope you’ve all been en-joying some fine British weather this summer, with gardens ablaze with colour and allotments full of tasty home grown fruit and vege-

tables, just as John Whalley from Grange Farm talked to us about at our June meeting. If you’ve room in your garden for a veg plot, that’s even better as your nearest and dearest can bring you cups of tea constantly, but allotment folk are a friendly lot, full of advice and helpful guidance and the odd flask to share.

We’ll probably be in need of a bit of helpful ad-vice and guidance when we tackle the Tickton Treasure Hunt at our July meeting and, of course, a balmy summer evening would be much appreciated. However, we’ve always now got a “Plan B” for if the weather turns against us, just as it did when many of our members were look-ing forward to a private garden visit locally, but two days of heavy rain meant it had to be can-celled. So now we’re prepared for all eventuali-ties and there’ll be some interesting indoor things on offer too (cake, tea and friends to chat with is hard to beat).

We’re planning to give our nearby City of Culture a group visit soon, as we don’t have our usual meeting in the village during Au-gust, or we may have a ‘Behind the Scenes’ tour at Burton Agnes Hall, or we may ven-ture further afield but, whatever we decide to do, it’ll hopefully be a ‘Grand Day Out’ as Wallace and Grommit would say. At our meeting on the 18th September, our theme will be all things Yorkshire and then on 16th October we’ve invited a speaker to talk about the Red Kite conservation pro-gramme, so there are some good things to look forward to (Yorkshire curd, Yorkshire tea and a few Aunt Bessie’s mini puds maybe).

Don’t forget to put the date of our next Craft Fair in your diaries, it’s on Sunday 1st Octo-ber from 12noon to 4pm in Tickton Village Hall. Stalls and refreshments, and friendly faces guaranteed. Hope to see you all there.

If you’d like to come along to any of our

meetings as a visitor, you’d be more than welcome. Our visitor fee is only £3 so you could give it a try for the rest of this year and then decide whether to be-come a member for next year. Please don’t hesitate to call our President, Mary McKenzie, tel 01964 501778, if you’d like more information, or a chat about the WI in general, or you could take a look at us on Facebook (Tickton WI), or send us a tweet on Twitter (@ticktonwi). We hope to see you at one of our meetings very soon; new friends and interesting events await (not to mention tea). Best wishes,

Sue Sadler, for Tickton WI

Jean Whiteside’s Memoir . . .

Jean Whiteside—a memoir—part 3 : War Time

In September 1939 Britain declared war on Ger-many. My father had hired a friend’s car and we were on holiday. Dad and I were planning to go for a short ride in an aeroplane just for the experience but it wasn't possible as all planes were grounded. When we returned home, a friend who had a key had put blackout curtains at the window and stuck strips of paper criss-cross on the window panes. The following weeks were busy. The council came and took our railings away to be melted down for the 'War Effort'. My dad had to set to and replace them with a brick wall. Then everyone on the street was delivered an 'Anderson Shelter' to be erected in their back gardens. I remember my dad and the next door neighbour both worked hard to-gether, helping each other dig a deep hole and then fixed the corrugated metal dome over the top and made the shelter proof against the weather. We took stools, benches, wood and carpets to put on the earth floor in an effort to make it comfortable. When the warning siren sounded, which it did mainly in the evening, or at night, we went down into this shelter until the all-clear sounded and then we knew it was safe to go back into the house. Unfortunately the shelter regularly had water in it and wasn't fit for us to use. When this happened, which was quite often, we had to go into shelter built under the primary school playground. This had been equipped with benches, electric lights, blankets and a first-aid box. Instead of a nightie or pyjamas, we (children) went to bed in siren-suits. This was in case we had to get up suddenly and go down the shelter. Looking back over the war years it must have been very worrying for my parents, especially when my brother, John Rodney, was born. The whole family were issued with a gas mask. We were expected to always keep it at hand so all school children took the mask in a small cardboard box slung across their chest. Our food was rationed, butter, sugar, eggs, meat etc. Each family was issued with a ration book of coupons for each member. One item I do remember was 2ozs of butter a week. Pregnant mothers and babies got extra milk and school children of 5 years daily orange drinks and cod-liver oil on a spoon. I remember this

clearly because my brother was sick every time he was given the oil. My first teacher at Coleman Road Infants School was called Miss Lowe, who was, in my eyes, very old. She wore only varying shades of grey, and, as far as I can remember, never smiled. She taught us to write on slates and I can't remember how I learnt to read ex-cept there was a character in the reading book called 'Old Lob'. In the junior department there was only one male teacher. All the other men had gone to war, leaving Mr Hughes who threw chalk at the boys and rough handled them at times. The girls were ob-viously his favourites, when he called them to his desk to look at their work he put his arm round them and pulled them to him. In my innocence, I was un-aware of anything wrong and just thought he was be-ing friendly. Today he would be under suspicion!. There was another teacher (female) who took my watch off me because we were not allowed to wear jewellery in school. This upset me because my grandma and grandpa had given it to me for my birth-day. It was a gift because I had finally learnt to tell the time. It was returned to me at home time. Returning to the story of air raids over Leicester. Grandpa Hall (or Grandpa Jovis as I used to call him as I couldn't say Joseph) gave us many a fright during air raid because he wouldn't take shelter. He would sit outside the shelter lighting his pipe making us all a target for the enemy bombers! At night search lights scanned the sky looking for enemy aircraft. If one was spotted, then aircraft guns (ack-ack for short) went into action and an air-battle began. There were also barrage balloons in the sky above us to prevent the enemy from flying low. These were anchored to the ground. One particular day I shall never, ever forget. It must have been sometime in early 1941 because it was cold and dark early in the afternoon. My mum and dad had invited some friends round to have a bite to eat and a game of cards. We had no TV only a radio. The friends were Jack and Kitty Carlisle and their son Keith who was 7 years old, I think. The grown-ups settled down in the front room to play 'Whist'. Keith and I had a pack of cards of our own. Then the inevi-table happened! The siren sounded and so we all went into the other room and, all but the two men, crawled under the bed, which was still there since the baby's birth. We put all the lights out and lay there

Page 17

hoping and praying that we would all be safe. There was, mum, Kitty, Keith and me plus the baby in the Moses basket. Keith had a torch and a pack of cards so we two played 'snap' oblivious to what was hap-pening outside! The two men went outside to see what was happening. It wasn't long before they came in telling us that they could hear bombs falling nearby and they could hear bricks falling in the locality! It was obvious that it wasn't safe to stay in Leicester as it was the target of a bombing raid. I think they were trying to hit the factories making munitions. Jack had a sister living in a little village called Redmile near Grantham. She kept the village Post Office and was also a part-time teacher at the village school. So the decision was made for us all to go and stay with her and her husband until the raid was over. We all got into Jack's little car. There were four adults, two children and a baby in a Moses basket. There were no street lights, so sign posts and the car lights (head lights) had to be hooded to conform with regulations. It was past midnight and we were stopped by the Po-lice on the outskirts of Leicester and questioned as to 'where' we were going and 'why? Eventually we ar-rived in Redmile and Jack's sister, Becky was, to put it mildly, very surprised! She already had two evacuee girls from Sheffield, who were fast asleep in a double bed upstairs. Keith and I were pushed into the other end of the bed which must have given the two girls quite a shock! Where the grown-ups slept I have no idea.. By the morning my dad and Jack had gone back to Leicester. Dad worked as an inspector on the city transport and Jack had his own driving school. The rest of us stayed in Redmile. We heard a few days later that our front door at home was blown open and the front bay window was shattered and shards of glass were sticking into the card table and the pi-ano. The blast from a bomb falling in the next street had lifted our roof and dropped in again bringing the bedroom ceiling down. So we stayed at Redmile and Keith and I went to school. I can't remember how long we stayed with Auntie Becky but we had lots of fun playing around the village. The two evacuee girls used to get up first in the morning and cleaned out the grate in the fire-range

and lit a fire so that they could boil a kettle of water for a morning cup of tea. The house didn't have elec-tricity and no mains water. We had paraffin lamps for light and a pump, just outside the back door for water. Keith and I often used to sneak a bit of bread in our pyjama pockets and a torch and had a 'midnight' feast under the sheets at bedtime. We had a regular job to do when the kindling wood was low and that was to go a get sticks from the hedgerows or under the trees and bushes. I can re-member how cold my hands were pulling these sticks out of the frozen ground. One other job we had to do was to take a jug to the local farm and buy milk from the farmer's wife. Keith and I used to play with the local children. A favourite game was, Fox and Hounds. One was chosen as the fox and ran off to hide, the rest of us were the huntsmen with hounds. It was a hide and seek game. I also remember play-ing on a farm with the farmer's son called Keith. We played in an empty barn and between us, produced a concert with songs and poems. Two of the songs were “Hey little hen, when, when, when will you lay me an egg for my tea” and “I am a little Dutch girl”. Our poor mothers must have suffered having to watch us, but they did applaud at the end!

We used to go home to Leicester for weekends to be with our families. Becky would put us on the train (steam train) and someone would meet us at the other end. On one of these journeys Keith de-cided to put his head out of the carriage window,. This was a big mistake because he lost his cap. Af-ter a few weeks I went back home to live with my mum, dad and new baby brother Rodney. It wasn't easy for young children to appreciate how serious this war really was. We all went off happily to school with our little gas masks and during lessons, hoped we would have an air-raid shelter practice! As the war became more and more intense news came over the radio naming the enemy soldiers and leaders who were responsible for attacking us. So I gathered leaves, seed pods, flower heads and stones from the garden and made 'poisoned' meals for them. I invited these 'cruel' men to come and eat these 'meals' and in my imagination they all died. That was my effort to end the war!

Smoothie challenge year 4

What was the challenge?

The challenge was to make a smoothie with a name linked to Hull including three fruits or more. Presen-tation was also important and we had to include a menu and something to make the smoothie look nice (straws, umbrellas, glasses etc.) as well as per-suading people to enjoy it. First of all, on Monday, we decided how our smoothies would be presented and what we would put into them to make them taste amazingly delicious. Then we decided upon our City of Culture names. One team had ‘The Queen’s Fruit Garden’, another had ‘The Amazing Amy Smoothie’ but our team name was ‘The Fishy Dishy Smoothie’ because of the fishing industry.

How was it judged?

It was judged out of 10 in four categories. The judges were Miss Wardlow and Mrs Ashenden who are our teachers. The marks depended on the taste, teamwork, presentation and the name. Two teams drew second with 34 points out of a maximum of 40 and the winning team scored 35.

Why were we doing it?

We designed and made smoothies because we were trying to get people into eating more healthy food. Since then, people in our class have been making smoothies at home and eating more fruit.

How did my team do and why?

Our team brought in lots of different fruits to make ours as delicious as it could ever have been. Ryan brought in a fruit squeezer [I forgot the real name] which really helped with the taste because the orange and lemon made it zingy! The rest of the team brought in divine fruits that we’d decided that we all liked. We cut them carefully and then added water before blending them. At the end we got to taste each others…yummy!

Archbishop Sentamu Team : Class 5

Many of us (say more mature people) in the vil-lage were treated to a lovely afternoon of enter-tainment which included singing, cello, violin and a game of bingo led by the year five children at Tickton School.

Tickton School, Wind Farm Vacancy . . .

We were also treated to a selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones, tea and coffee. We were served by the children at the tables, where the place mats were made from photographs of famous places in Hull and Beverley and we were asked to guess where/what they were.

Everything was designed and made by the children i.e. invitations, menus and even the flags on the sandwiches!

It was well organised by the children and the staff who work with them. Many people have expressed how much they enjoyed it.

It was all part of the year-long ‘Archybishop’ Pro-ject, whereby Archbishop Sentamu has challenged children in school to do things in their communi-ties.

The Archbishop would have been very proud of them all.

Thanks Class 5

Class R visit the farm

Class R have been to visit Hon-

eysuckle farm. We had a very

busy day, feeding all the ani-

mals, watching the cows being

milked and riding on the horse

and cart. It was wonderful to

see some of the more cautious

children grow in confidence and

finally be brave enough to let

the animals eat from their

hand! After a day full of fun we

ran, climbed and jumped on the

hay bales before finishing the

day with a delicious ice-cream.

A perfect day to celebrate what

has been a really special year in

class R.

Pictures of these activities can be found on the back cover, and we thank the children and staff of our school for their continu-ing contributions to Tickton Di-ary,

Mrs Nesta Thompson

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mrs Nesta Thompson (former Deputy Headteacher of Tickton CE Primary School 1986 – 1996) who died mid June.

She made a difference to so many and will be sadly missed.

From friends and former

colleagues

Class 2 On Tuesday 4th July Class Two were set a zip wire challenge for teddies and toy figures. We used bamboo sticks, string, tent pegs and a harness. We had a race to see which team had the fastest zip wire. What an exciting morning we had! Caitlin

The Church Garden Party moved to St Paul’s Church and Churchyard on July 9th, when lots of people came along and enjoyed the sun, the cream teas and the usual stalls
