Parish Snippets Our North York’s Councillor Clare Wood attended the first part of the meeting. Clare told us that we have six commissioning groups for healthcare, where as most areas have one. Is this cost effective? Road maintenance. The very poor state of Ryedale roads was much commented on by those present. North Yorkshire C.C. does employ four full time inspectors and an Improvements Officer. A member of the public observed that the roads in Richmondshire and the Dales were of much higher standard than Ryedale, many of which must pose a risk to the user. A risk which will increase when the clocks change and road users are commuting in the dark. Community Trust Fund. Fund The PC is to apply for a grant of £20,000 towards the ongoing street light refurbishment project. Snow Clearing. The PC are getting ahead of the game and trying to put volunteers in place for snow clearing during the coming winter. Please contact our Parish Clerk, Dinah Farley, 01653 628858, email: [email protected] to offer your help. Your next Parish Council meeting is Monday 12th November in the Village Hall at 7pm.

Production Team: Pat Thompson, David Thornley Keith Buck, All Saints’ Slingsby Celebrates the Completion of the Tower Restoration Restoration Photo Ann Wilson L to R John Crump, Rt. Revd. Martin Wallace, Revd. Beryl Bowes A good congregation gathered for a service of Thanksgiving and Rededication at All Saints’ Church, Slingsby on Sunday evening 2nd September attended by the Bishop of Selby, the Rt. Revd. Martin Wallace. He preached and rededicated the tower and other areas of the building which are to be developed for wider community use. A big thank you to all those who turned out on Saturday 25th August, while the rain poured down outside, to help clean All Saints Church after the building repair work. Particular thanks to John Apps and David Thornley for taking on the high up cleaning in areas which have seen no duster or brush for many years and where the spiders had run riot. The church was left sparkling and dust free, with clean windows and gleaming brass and silver, in time for the Service of Rededication of the church tower by Bishop Martin on 2nd September. Keeping such a large building in good order is a herculean task. Your help was truly appreciated. Margaret Mackinder Angela’s Computer Tuition Computer tuition for all ages and abilities, including beginners. Lessons tailored to suit each person’s individual needs. Including broadband set up, internet, email, online shopping, digital cameras and printer set up. Gift Vouchers Available Angela Richardson Richardsonon-Tel: 01751 432545 Email: [email protected] A feature in the service was the symbolic presentation of an engraved silver trowel used to lay the foundation stone of the church when it was rebuilt in 1867. Mr. John Crump, of Matthias Garn, Master Mason and partner representing the stonemasons, architect and other contractors, handed the trowel to the Bishop as a token of the skills employed in the restoration. Also on display was a Bible given to the church by its 19th century benefactor Admiral Edward Howard, containing a list of parishioners who contributed financially towards the £5,000 total for the rebuilding. The cost of the recent work was £100,000, and it is an amazing achievement that the church and village community have raised almost the entire amount in a relatively short time through grants, fund-raising events and generous giving. Fund-raising continues, and final donations are welcome, to cover extra costs incurred and provide for further improvements in the future. The Parochial Church Council would like to express their appreciation to all who have contributed in any way to the project, which was carried out to a very high standard and has resulted in the building being made safe and sound for future generations.

Mike Smith Can I introduce myself as the new Methodist Minister in Slingsby, following in the footsteps of the much loved Graham Sellers, who tragically died earlier this year? If you think my name is familiar that is because I was minister here for nine years from 1994 until 2003 when we moved to Fleetwood. I returned to live in Malton upon my retirement in 2009 and now, much to my surprise, find myself working again on a part time basis looking after not only the chapel here in Slingsby but the one at Hovingham as well! I greatly enjoyed the years I was minister here before and am looking forward to this ‘encore’ which I hope will be equally enjoyable, on both sides. Whilst most of my time will be spent on the life of the chapel I also hope to be able to involve myself in some other activities within the village. If anyone wants to contact me, about any matter, my details are below.

The introduction says the course sets out to get people thinking about their faith and what it means in their day to day life to be a follower of Christ. It appears to be a very interesting and thought provoking course, do come and give it a try. Contact Stephen Prest for further details. Tel 628277.

Get to Know your Website and win an Annual Family Pass (2 adults & 2 children value £80) for Castle Howard in this Prize Quiz! We are naturally delighted by the many favourable comments we receive about THE TRI∆NGLE newsletter. Comments about the website, in contrast, are fewer and less positive. It’s not that people don’t like it – they just don’t see the point of it. We are hoping with this quiz to show you that there is more to the website than at first meets your eye, and that you could be missing out by not making fuller use of it. Of course we do understand that there may be one major reason why you aren’t using the website: you don’t have a computer! And to complete this quiz you will need a computer (that means a PC, laptop, tablet, or even one of those smartphones), or access to one. If there isn’t a computer in your family, you could try using one at your local library or an internet café. And if you’re put off by the fact that you are perhaps a little past your prime and couldn’t possibly cope with learning to use something as scary as a computer, maybe you should read the short article by Shelagh Richards – a self-confessed ‘Silver Surfer’ – in the June/July 2012 edition of THE TRI∆NGLE. She grasped the nettle, bit the bullet, took the bull by the horns and hasn’t looked back. Honestly, it’s never too late! And if you think cost may be an issue, it’s not as expensive as you may think. Another possible reason for being dismissive about the website is that you have never looked beyond the Home Page (what you see when you first open the website) and don’t realize just how rich and varied is the information that lies behind the tabs at the top of the screen. The answers to all the quiz questions can be found on the website (to remind you it’s at www.slingsbyvillage.co.uk). With many of them (but not all), you can use the Search function on the right-hand side of every page, just below LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS. When you’re ready, type your answers, in order, in an e-mail and send it to [email protected]. [email protected]. The competition winner will be drawn from among all the correct entries received by Friday 16th November 2012. The answers will be given and the winner announced in the December/January issue of THE TRI∆NGLE. Members of the Slingsby Website and Newsletter Group and their families are excluded from entry in the competition, and the judges’ decision is final. QUESTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
