Schools out and lots of folk are on holiday or having a good time locally.

One of the highlights of the month is the Produce Show on Saturday 8th August. Its well worth a visit as there will be plenty of vegetables, flowers baking, photographs and handicraft on show.The entrants can be seen at the Village Hall from 2-00pm The potatoes for the 'potato in a pot competition' have been weighed and the winner will be announced at the Show.

The Cricket Club fun day will be held on Sunday 23rd August and on Saturday 29th August there will be a fund raising event for Yorkshire Air Ambulance at the Village Hall.

A further extract from Alan's diary------

Politics and 'Global Warming' are brilliant subjects for heated debates---one of the perks of running a News agency is being able to review most of the significant papers and then discuss current issues with 'controversial' subjects. These discussions, whilst mostly good-natured can become quite heated, involving significant numbers of people. Anyone from outside of the village walking in at an inopportune time might wonder what they had stumbled upon.Perhaps unsurprisingly sales of 'Tory' papers outsell significantly those of a 'Socialist' learning.So Global Warming (sorry, climate change- it's snowing at the moment) atheism, socialism. education standards,art, carbon emission, Royalty,etc are vigorously discussed.
