| 20/12/20 | The Buck Inn - Message from Jo & Jeremy "It is with a very heavy heart that we have taken the decision to close from 2.30pm today till 12pm on Boxing Day, after which we will review the situation again. Throughout the pandemic, hospitality has been very harshly and unfairly restricted, and the new Covid restrictions have seen our festive season trade reduce to practically nothing. It is now not currently viable to keep the pub lit and warm, and to keep our beers and menu as fresh as we have strived to keep them, with such a small footfall of customers. We apologise to anyone who was planning on visiting us this side of Christmas, but we have made the decision that if we can't offer you our best, then we would rather keep our doors closed. We have been trying our hardest to remain positive and upbeat, but sometimes you have to know when to say enough is enough. We would like to thank all of our locals, friends and regulars for supporting us through these very trying times, and we wish you all a very safe and Merry Christmas, and hope to see you all on the other side. Jo & Jeremy xx" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Starbotton footbridge Pete Ramsden advises that the stepping stones at Starbotton can be crossed when wearing waterproof walking shoes when the river level is at 0.4m by the Kettlewell river level gauge (https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/8110). The stepping stones are by no means dry at this level and can be a little slippery, so cross with care. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Message from Martin & Monica "Very happy seasonal greetings from Brasil. First Martin would like to thank those who met him for a meal/drink the day before he left Buckden, and the many others who sent good wishes. I had a safe journey to Brasil, and it was great for us to be together again after a year’s separation. Weird times! We are in a small town, Lagoa Santa (pop 70,000) an hour by car outside Monica’s hometown, Belo Horizonte (pop 3 million and now nicknamed Bella Horizonte), one hour by plane north of Rio. As many of you know the President is somewhat trumpesque, so not good from a covid perspective, but we are both safe and well, obviously being as careful as we can. We would both like to wish you all as good a Christmas as possible in the circumstances. Covid and Brexit permitting we will be back in Buckden mid April and look forward very much to seeing you all again. Stay safe and well. Martin & Monica" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

St Michaels - Organ replacement As many of you know, the organ at church has suffered a series of electronic failures and after 50 years of service, it has been decided to replace it with a new digital keyboard. This will use the same speakers as the church PA system, and these have just been upgraded and a new amplifier and control system installed. The replaced items are available for re-using or up-cycling and are listed in the ‘Re-Cycle it’ section – this includes the very rare Allen Organ Gyrophonic speaker cabinets. |

Preserve Stall & all things Christmassy at Kettlewell Church Lychgate.

Jams, chutney, marmalade, mincemeat, mince-pies, Christmas cakes, Christmas puddings and much more. Some items ideal for Christmas presents or your own celebrations, however low key they may be this year. This is in aid of the Church in Upper Wharfedale & Littondale, and we certainly need it!. Everyone very welcome – if only to take a look. |

Pilates - Sarah Reddyoff has stated doing Pilates classes on Zoom. The first one of this term is tomorrow at 12 noon UK time. You will need a mat or something soft, a band for stretching (or a dressing gown belt will do ) and if you have one, a 7 inch blue ball (like the ones we used in the classes before) Not everyone has one so I make it so the exercises are possible with or with out. The term price is £59.50, this goes until Christmas. The class is run exactly the same as in Buckden I will explain a little more at the beginning of the class. The Zoom link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89091269803 If you want to join Gill Owen can supply the password as well as Sarah's bank details. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 02/11/20 | Hubberholme Land Letting 2021 As all will be aware the annual ritual and much enjoyed ceremony will not be able to take place, as usual, on the first Monday evening in the New Year. There will be no “race against the candle flame”, therefore we plan to carry out the continued use of the land by written bids – to be sent to, or given to, Avril before Monday, January 4th, 2021. The highest bidder will sign the documentation allowing the use of the 16 acres. If there should be more than one bid, neck to neck, it will be dealt with personally until the highest bid is achieved. Over the past few years the bids have ranged from £450 to £1,000 plus – an open door! So please go ahead and get your bids in to Avril, make good use of the land and support our community – and a Happy New Year to one and all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The George -
Message from Ed
Hi Folks As you are probably aware both Jackie and I last week
tested positive for Covid but thankfully have had only minor symptoms
and are both out of isolation Monday 2ndNovember. As a precaution we had
all staff at The George tested and are delighted to report that all
tested negative ( Sarah, Scott and Chloe) suggesting that Jackie
picked the virus up outside of The George.
Notwithstanding this we took the decision to close until Wednesday 4th November as reduced staff could compromise the service we offer. Following our discussions with Track and trace we are confident that given the precautions we have been taking at The George there is little likelihood that any of our customers would be contacted by NHS Track and Trace. Given the latest lockdown decision we have decided that to open Wednesday and be forced to close Thursday would make little sense. However given we are all facing another month of lockdown we have decided that with effect from Tuesday 10th November we will reintroduce the takeaway "Tuesday Night as Curry Night" to help us all survive the next month. Thanks for your continued support. Keep safe and keep smiling. See you soon - Love to all - George, Ed , Jackie, Sarah, Scott and Chloe xxxxx |

| 19/09/20 | The Buck Inn - A message from Jo & Jeremy "We are very happy that customers (both visitors and locals) are feeling comfortable enough to come in to the pub, but on a weekend especially we ask that if you wish to drink or dine inside, that you please reserve a table. We have a strict capacity inside to comply with our covid risk assessment, and this equates to the number of chairs we can socially distance, which is 62 "bums on seats". The risk assessment unfortunately does not allow for customers to stand in the pub, and the last thing we want after we have worked so hard to comply with the guidelines, is to receive complaints about over crowding. We have fortunately been very busy since we reopened, but this does mean that tables get booked up quickly. We do not want to have to turn people away if we reach capacity, but we will and have had to if customers have not made a reservation. We know this takes the spontaneity out of popping to the pub, but as we live through these strange times we hope you understand." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Harvest Festival -
Hubberholme
Unfortunately, because of
Coronavirus, St Michael's Hubberholme are not going to be able to hold
the Harvest Service and Supper and Auction in the Institute this year,
but will still be supporting St George's Crypt and Skipton Food Bank.
Therefore in the Porch at Buckden School Room there will be a collecting
box for tins and other non perishable goods if you wish to give items.
These will then be taken to the charity. However, if you would prefer
and find it more convenient to donate money to St George's Crypt, Leeds
and Skipton Food Bank this can be done by going to the Home Page of the
Parish Website at
www.upperwharfedalechurches.org
If you are attending the Harvest Service at Arncliffe on September 20th ,led by the Archdeacon of Richmond and Craven, the Ven. Jonathan Gough, then donations of non-perishable items can be made just before the service. It is hoped that if you normally support Skipton Food Bank or our Harvest Auction for St George's Crypt you will find this year's way of giving acceptable. Please help if you can and thank you. |

Buckden Institute to re-open The Institute committee intend to re-open the Institute with effect from Tuesday 1st September. Clearly, in the light of Covid security regulations and guidance, there will be significant changes in the way that the hall operates, and limitations to the type of activities which can be held. The committee is working on a detailed plan to implement these changes, and the key principles to which we are working are summarised in the attached document. This will be the first phase of re-opening, and we hope that as the Covid situation improves we will be able to relax some of these controls and limitations. Clearly however, the timing of any relaxation will be dependent on both the progress of the virus and the evolving regulatory position. Click here for more details |

Goodbye from Chris & Fi A message from Chris and Fi who have recently left Nethergill: "A very difficult decision but as many of you may know we put Nethergill Farm on the market last year. The younger Clark family decided they did not want to take it on; they are all happy and settled, with their own children, in the south and it was becoming, the house particularly, too big for just the two of us. Chris and I have been at Nethergill 15 years and achieved a lifelong ambition of owning our own farm and conservation project. We have now sold to Malcolm & Helen Thomas and their son and daughter-in-law (and two very young children), who are like minded conservationists and who I am sure will continue to make Nethergill grow and flourish.
We have moved to a very tiny rented
cottage near Banbury, all very rural on a farm estate but not remote as
we are used to. Becky our eldest daughter lives ten minutes away with
her three small boys so it is good to be near family. We are actively looking for a smaller farm/smallholding in Devon near Chris’ father and where our youngest daughter and family have just moved. Our ambition is to manage our new farm using naturally processes, as far as is possible, and to enjoy being nearer to family. The move from Nethergill was very sudden. The diktats of Covid 19 ensured that the sale was completed before the opening of holiday lets on July 4, allowing the Thomas’ the opportunity to take advantage of that income. And so we had no time to say goodbye to all our lovely friends. Covid 19 also made it very difficult to have any sort of gathering, such strange and crazy times. Thank you everyone for making us feel so welcome and we are so sorry to be leaving such a lovely community and friends behind, however we shall be coming up from time to time. Chris still has work in Yorkshire and the north of England and my brother still lives in North Yorkshire so we will not lose contact with the area" We will all miss Chris and Fi and their contribution to Buckden life and we wish them all the best in their new venture. We also welcome Malcolm & Helen Thomas and family to Buckden parish, and hope they will be very happy here. |

Oughtershaw Phone Box - your help needed BT have notified their intention to close the phone box in Oughtershaw to Craven District Council. Objections and reasons need to be with planning@cravendc.gov.uk by 3rd August quoting 01756760213 O/S institute PCO Oughtershaw. As a community of 3 permanent households we do not have the numbers to generate many objections. But it is used by many walkers using local businesses as a point for pickup after a days walk. It is also marked on all OS maps and as there is NO 3G or 4G signal within 4 miles of the village is a vital emergency call spot. Any help trying to keep this vital lifeline open would be greatly appreciated. Please email the council in support of the phone box: planning@cravendc.gov.uk |

Buckden Institute - Update The institute AGM should have taken place this week but was postponed for obvious reasons. The trustees did hold a meeting however (by video conference). Key points were as follows: Alan Jones has resigned from the committee - the trustees are very grateful for his substantial contribution over the years, latterly as Vice Chair. Debbie Roe was elected as Vice Chair The AGM will be deferred until such time as we can safely reopen the hall and hold meetings again It was agreed that the Duck Race will not take place in July as planned. We will review the possibility of holding it the Autumn, circumstances permitting. The financial position was reviewed. We are pleased to be able to report that at the end of FY 2019/20, the Institute reserves are healthy, and the Institute is in a robust financial position to withstand the loss of income resulting from the extended closure and the loss of income the Gala, the Duck Race, Buckden Singers and general lettings. We can also afford to still proceed with necessary repairs to the roof and to the floor once the lockdown is lifted. |

The George - Update - In view of the current coronavirus outbreak we felt that it would be useful for us to outline our position at The George: 1. As long as we are allowed to remain open we are planning to do so. 2. In recognition of helping to minimise the potential spread of the coronavirus in addition to continuing to observe exemplary hygiene practices in our kitchen and throughout The George (We have once again been awarded the highest level 5 for our hygiene standards) we have taken the following actions; a) We will allow a maximum of 20 people at any one time in our bar and restaurant - dependent upon table configuration. b) There will be no sitting at the bar allowed - we will be offering primarily table service. c) We endeavour to ensure appropriate distancing between separate parties within the pub. d) Our outside tables have been configured to allow 2m between separate parties. 3. Watch this space as we are hoping to announce a menu for takeaway food and delivery as required for those self isolating and indeed anyone within the local community. 4. We are keeping up to date with Government announcements but please do bear in mind the advice regarding your own health and circumstances and don’t any unnecessary risks! We would like to wish you all a safe passage through the uncharted times that we are facing and thank you for your continued support. Jackie Ed Sarah and Scott and George x |

| 25/11/2019 | Buckden Village Quiz at the Buck The Buckden village quiz started in the early 2000s at the Buck Inn with Chalky as the quizmaster, to generate additional trade on Sunday evenings. In 2006, during the unfortunate stewardship of the Buck by “Lord” Baskerville Hound, the quiz was jettisoned (along with most other aspects of a village pub, including customers). It was therefore decided to hold the Sunday evening quiz in the Institute where it soon became firmly established. During the renovation of the hall last year, Jo and Jeremy at the Buck very kindly agreed to host the quiz (along with other village activities) in order that it could continue. At the end of the renovations, the Institute committee felt that the move back to the Buck had been successful, and that it would be appropriate for the quiz to stay in its original home. Jo and Jeremy were keen to keep hosting the quiz and accordingly the quiz will continue to be held in the Buck as it has been for the last 12 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Emergency Calls - Thanks to Keith Jeddere-Fisher who has researched the subject of whether or not it is possible to make emergency calls even when there is no signal. The situation is as follows: Emergency calls can be made on any mobile phone network, not just your own. If you are somewhere where your network doesn't have reception but another does, you get Emergency Calls Only. If no networks have any signal, you'll be told there is no reception and you can't even make 999 calls. The 112 number does link people through to 999, but it only works if you have a signal on your mobile phone. If you have no signal bars on your phone, it will not work. |

First Responders win award
Buckden and Kettlewell Community First
Responders (CFRs) teams jointly won the Yorkshire Ambulance Trust
"Scheme of the Year" regional award for 2019 in recognition of the
levels of on-duty coverage provided by small numbers of volunteers in
their areas. CFRs are volunteers who are part of the Yorkshire Ambulance
Service (YAS), providing advance attendance to serve local communities
and assistance to the Service which is especially important in rural
areas where ambulances may take some time to arrive. CFRs are only
activated by the YAS after a 999 call has been made and an ambulance
dispatched and are generally not called upon for accidents or injuries.
Unfortunately, full cover is not possible in Buckden in July there
was on-duty coverage for 74% of the time. If you would be prepared to
assist the community by undergoing training and becoming a Responder
please contact Robin (Tel. 01756 761320)

Buckden Gala - thank-yous
A message from
Debbie - our Gala Secretary "A
massive thank you to everyone who
contributed in one way or another to the Gala yesterday. It was
particularly challenging this year with a number of our usual volunteers
attending another event, so thank you to those who agreed to do longer
shifts on our stalls to help us out. And a particular thanks to the
ladies who stepped in at the last minute to help run the tea tent.
Thanks to Anne for all of her administrative support, thanks to Bev for
running a tight ship on the field, and to Ted for entrusting us with his
tractor. Thanks to all of the sponsors, and providers of raffle prizes.
And thank you to everyone who helped set up the field on Friday, and who
helped take everything off the field on both Saturday evening and Sunday
morning. A huge amount of effort goes into organising and running the
Gala, but the £3,000+ that it will have raised will go a long way
towards keep the village institute running for another year!" Meanwhile, Bev would like to thank everyone who helped with setting up the Gala field and with putting everything away afterwards. ...and finally we would all like to thank Debbie and Bev for all their hard work coordinating the Gala - it is really appreciated. |

Buckden Walkers Evening Stroll – Bishopdale Wednesday 19th June 2019, guided by Robin and Stella. A 2 mile stroll from West Burton, with a meal afterwards at the Street Head Inn.

| 13/05/2019 | Cakes for the Gala - due to a conflict of events on 15 June we have a very limited supply of stall holders for Buckden Gala and we are having to find ways of economising how we man the stalls this year. Therefore some of our usual arrangements are having to change. We have previously been indebted to local villagers who have made cakes for either/both the cake stall and the tea tent. This year we will be consolidating the two, and cakes will be sold either whole or in portions from the tea tent this year. We would be really grateful for any donations of cakes this year from our usual cake-makers, but it would be helpful to know in advance what we can expect. Would any prospective bakers just let Debbie know (debbie@beckcottage.com)or 761024) what they might be able to provide to ensure that we will have sufficient on the day. Thanks in advance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 28/04/2019 | Institute – War Memorial As we heard at the Armistice Service last year, some time after 1919 it was proposed that a memorial be provided in the village hall to commemorate those men of Buckden Parish who fought and died in the Great War. For whatever reason (probably to do with the Depression) this never happened, but the committee have decided to try and rectify this as part of the redevelopment of the Institute and to mark the centenary of the Armistice with a memorial to the dead of both world wars. To raise funds for this we have submitted an application to Tesco’s “Bags of Help” Scheme. We have been selected as one of three projects which people will be able to vote for in Skipton Tescos during May and June. Whenever you spend money in Tescos (in store only – not online), you are entitled to a token which you can then use to vote by putting it in the relevant hopper in the Bags of Help voting stand just inside the entrance. From experience you may need to ask for a token when paying at the till – they may not automatically give you one, but don’t be afraid to ask. How much money we get will be determined by the number of votes we receive – so please make lots of trips to Tescos and cast lots of votes! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Nora Wood 1922 - 2019
Nora's family would like to thank
everyone for their cards, letters, emails and personal condolences
concerning the death of Nora. Please know that they have been gratefully
received, much appreciated and a great help and consolation at this
time. The attendance at Hubberholme was overwhelming, and it was lovely
that so many could join us afterwards at The Gamekeeper. Many of you
will know of Nora's love of flowers and so a huge thank you to all those
involved with the floral displays at church. Especial thanks to James,
John and Joseph for a wonderful service. We hope this picture helps to
show the love Nora had for this community; we certainly felt the support
of the 'Buckden family' as well as our relatives and friends from
further afield. Jack, Susan, Julia, David, John and all the family

Buckden Village Institute Building Works - Update Buckden Institute is now back in use following completion of Phase 1 of the works. The will be further disruption next year when we move on to the subsequent phases but for now the hall is available for use as normal. For information, the phases are as follows: Phase 1 - which is what we have just about finished was about creating more space and sorting out storage. It's more or less complete other than the storage area outside the kitchen which we will do coincident with Ph 3 for obvious reasons. Phase 2 - is basically sorting out the interior of the hall (in order to try and sort the damp, condensation and mould problems). That means lining, insulating the walls, plastering, as well as improving the entrance. This phase is still not fully funded, and we are trying to raise the additional funds. (currently we have 50% of what we need). Phase 3 - is sorting out the kitchen - which is funded. We had hoped to do that coincident with Phase 2 - and if we can sort out the Phase 2 funding in the next 2 or 3 months we will be able to. Phase 4 - is then about the decoration of the hall - new curtains and fully painting the newly plastered interior. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Collection of household goods - August. The Upper Wharfedale Refugee Support Group is collecting household goods for refugees based in Bradford through BIASAN (Bradford Immigration and Asylum Seekers Support and Advice Network). Our collection priority is the basics i.e. the sort of things that people who have nothing, need to start a home: cutlery, crockery, cooking equipment and utensils, storage containers, bedding, towels, cleaning equipment, curtains, lamps etc. We are unable to take furniture but can take small electrical items. Microwaves are in great demand as the only cooking source for some families and vacuum cleaners are also another piece of equipment difficult to get hold of. Also, as people do not have cars, things like shopping trollies or rucksacks are particularly useful and radios are in great demand for those isolated and living alone. We do not need ornaments, toiletries or bric-a-brac and all items should be clean and in good condition. If you would like to help with this, please get in touch and donations can be made to Buckden Barn, Buckden or contact Stella on 01756 761320. |

Buckden Walkers Monday Walk –July 2nd 2018 Wether Fell and the Roman Road Let’s try again! A steady 51/2 mile walk along Cam High Road and on footpaths around Wether Fell. Mostly flat, but with a couple of ups and downs around the fell – 300 feet in total. Wonderful views of Raydale, Semer Water, Addlebrough & Wensledale, but the walk needs a clear day to appreciate the views and to avoid getting lost! Usual arrangements, meet at the Buck Inn at 10.30am for car sharing, bring your picnic. It looks as though the weather may be kind, but if not I have a walk in mind near Stainforth, and will email if we need to do that one. |

Meanwhile, the Venturer is back from its visit to Bradford with newly realigned steering geometry and a new DPF sensor. Why not check it out and see if you can tell the difference? Remember - if we want a bus service, we have to use it, and now the Buck is open again, there's no good reason not to come to Buckden every day! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(Sunset time 8:16pm - no torches required!) At this stage we are more concerned to be able to advise the pub on likely numbers. They have been very accommodating and keen to help, but clearly need some guidance from us. Non-walkers are very welcome to join us at the pub for the meal. Shelley is going to prepare large, hearty Cottage Pies (for 6-8 people) with piles of vegetables. If you are vegetarian, let us know; she will prepare a vegetarian lasagne. Dogs will be welcome at the pub, but must be kept on a lead during the walk. Anyone willing to lead future Strolls will be very welcome - do contact David and Sue on 760877. We would like you to reply to this email by Sunday 15th - we will then advise the Fox & Hounds, to assist their buying, etc. The weather forecast looks to be set fine for next week ... fingers crossed!

| 01/01/18 | Kettlewell Cinema Night The next film to be shown at Kettlewell Village Hall is titled "Their Finest" Saturday January 6th 7.30pm. During the London Blitz of World War II, Catrin Cole is recruited by the British Ministry of Information to write scripts for propaganda films that the public will actually watch without scoffing. In the line of her new duties, Cole investigates the story of two young women who supposedly piloted a boat in the Dunkirk Evacuation and the story becomes the basis for a fictional film with some possible appeal. As Cole labours to write the script with her new colleague Tom Buckley, veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard must accept that his days as a leading man are over as he joins the project. Together, this disparate trio must struggle against such complications as sexism against Cole, jealous relatives, and political interference in their artistic decisions as London endures the bombs of the enemy. In the face of those challenges, they share a hope to contribute something meaningful in this time of war and in their own lives. 12A As usual £5 for adults. Under 19 £2.50. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Christmas at Hubberholme
- message from the Churchwardens:
"A very special and sincere "Thank you" is due to all the ladies who 'dressed' Hubberholme Church with such wonderful festive arrangements and also to those, from far and wide who made generous donations of 'Stars' for the tree. Click here to see the church decorated fro Christmas. We are so grateful to Ted Downes of the Cam Forest Trust for the donation, delivery and erection of the tree - It really is a most generous gift. It is hoped that as many of you as possible will find time to visit the church and appreciate the decorations - I'm afraid the photography does not do the church or the decorators full credit.

| 23/10/17 | Set-back at the Buck It seems hard to believe but apparently someone locally has complained to the National Park that the renovations at the Buck are not in keeping with the character of the building, and consequently work has had to stop. It is hard to see how replacing rotten floor boards, repairing a leaking chimney, and removing laminate flooring and 1970s seating could be seen as not in keeping with the character of the building. Having been in there several times while the pub was up for rent, it was damp and down at heel and desperately in need of renovation. Having waited almost a year for someone to take it on, it seems extraordinary that anyone would object to the efforts of Jo and Jeremy to get us our pub open as soon as possible. It is clear that this will further delay the opening of the Buck, with continued damaging impact on the social and economic life of the community, not to mention the message it sends to Jo and Jeremy. If anyone doubts the impact of the Buck being closed, passenger numbers on the bus to and from Buckden have dropped by a third since the pub has been closed. I hope that more enlightened members of the community will, like me, write to the National Park highlighting the negative impact on the village and the community and asking them to resolve this issue as rapidly as possible, to enable the pub to reopen. Letters/emails should be sent to Peter Stockton, Head of Sustainable Development, Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, Yoredale, Bainbridge, Leyburn.

| 12/08/17 | Ultrafast Broadband comes to Buckden Boundless Networks (formerly LN Comms) has announced that Next Generation 100Mbps Ultrafast broadband will be available in the Upper Dale from August, following a long and protracted fibre installation by BT Openreach. The Ultrafast range of broadband packages are faster than BT Infinity, at a lower cost, with access speeds up to 100 Mbps. Prices start at £29.99 for 50Mbps and £42.99 for 100Mbps. Boundless Networks was the first company to bring Super-Fast broadband to the area and we have proudly helped residents of Upper Wharfedale and Littondale since 2012. Boundless have committed to investing in the latest technology as it becomes available enabling them to provide the area with superior speeds and improved network reliability. Our support is really necessary as only Boundless provide a service to the more remote areas of our parish where BT will never invest in fast broadband. It is worth remembering that Boundless provide free broadband in the Institute for the benefit of villagers, and also provide the infrastructure which carries the Vodafone 3G service. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 12/08/17 | Kettlewell & District Annual Horticultural Show. Sunday 3rd September 2017 1-30 - 4pm The Kettlewell & District Horticultural Show was started in 1908 the object being to bring the people in the villages together and take more pride in their gardens, and at first it was purely a competition for the best flower and vegetable garden. The Show was held in the old National School up the hill to Park Rash. It was held in a simple marquee in the school grounds, there was a brass band and grand dance in the evening!... Shortly after when the Kettlewell Village Hall was built in 1927 the Show was moved into the new hall. The Show lapsed during the two world wars, otherwise it has been held continuously since 1908 bringing the people of the dales together to show off their prowess and admire the results of their labour and skills. The show prides itself on being a traditional Dales event, and is open to all ages and includes a full range of entry possibilities including flowers, fruit & vegetables, baking, drinks, crafts and art. It’s great fun for the children of the dales, and all children who bring along a vegetable they’ve grown this year are certain to be awarded a small prize too. The most exciting is a ‘Disaster Class!’ open to everyone. Anything from any category that went wrong. Including strange shaped vegetables, weird fruit and burnt cakes and buns!! The winner is voted by the public on Show day. We get some funny entries!!! Refreshments and fun please come along for a great day out! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Buckden Gala
Another fantastic Gala on
Saturday with fabulous weather and a great turnout. Bev has asked us to
pass on his personal thanks to all the helpers who set up and took down
the field, and in turn, we have to thank him for doing his usual role as
Field Marshall with his customary efficiency and good humour - in spite
of his recent operation . Julie would like to say a huge thank you
to all the bakers who contributed cakes to the tea room. The customers
were really complimentary about the range and standard of baking and
the display was simply lovely. Many thanks too to the volunteers who helped on the day, to all the visitors, and in particular to the Gala Committee for organising the event. Finally a special thank you to Debbie who as Gala Secretary did a brilliant job as always, coordinating the whole event. Click here for photos of the day |

| 19/06/17 | Buckden Gala - Message from Debbie A big thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Gala such a special day. Of course the weather played a big part, but in reality the Gala cannot operate without the hard work and goodwill of a huge number of volunteers – from the Gala committee who manage the planning behind the scene for 6 months beforehand, to the army of volunteers who ‘person’ stalls on the day, or who help set up or clear away, particularly including those who do not even live in the village. And thank you also to the stall holders, both within and outside of the village, who help give us the spectrum of stalls and activities that we enjoyed on the day. The funds raised look set to be in the region of £3,000 which will help pay for most of Buckden Village Institute’s expenses for the next year.

The Governing Board are delighted to announce the outcome of the Inspection: Grassington remains a GOOD school. The report praised Mrs. Morton Lee, the Executive Headteacher, who has only been in post since September 2016, saying; “Working alongside a newly formed, hard-working and supportive Governing body, your skilful and determined leadership has brought about significant improvements to teaching and learning.” The Governors are delighted with the Inspection report and see it as evidence of the educational benefits that being part of a Federation have brought to this small rural school. Anne Vetch, Chair of Governors of the Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation commented "The standard of education our pupils receive, the commitment of our Executive Headteacher and staff, the emphasis we place on safety and behaviour together with our inclusive ethos have all been recognised in this fair and balanced Inspection report. However we are not complacent and will continue our constant strive for improvement in this school and in others in our Federation” Click here to read full report |

| 12/11/16 | Further threat to education in the Upper Dale The directors (sic) of Skipton Girls High School are consulting on proposals to expand their intake to a five form entry from September 2018. This is alleged to be in response to local demand, but as there are unfilled secondary places in schools in Skipton and they already take pupils from outside the area, an alternative interpretation could be that it is for business reasons. Either way, it is likely to have a negative effect on our own Upper Wharfedale School, by reducing pupil numbers there - with consequent negative impact on UWS funding at a time when the budget is already under significant pressure. To participate in the consultation process please click here, or email your views to Mr H Cutler, Chair of Governors - email sghs@sghs.org.uk | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 05/11/16 | Charlie Thornborrow 1932-2016 On Sunday 16 October Charlie Thornborrow passed away peacefully in his sleep at Castleberg Hospital in Settle after a long, brave battle with deterio-rating health. He was 84. Born at Cotterdale near Hawes, Charlie took a job as a farm worker at remote Lunds at the top of Wensleydale when just 14, enduring the savage winter of 1947 there. He married Elsie in 1958 and they moved into Mount Pleasant Farm at Cray, where they stayed for more than 40 years, before heading to Buckden for a quieter life in 2002. But always a hard-working and committed farmer, Charlie never really retired and he kept his sheep for as long as he could. The family would like to thank everyone who played a part in Charlie’s long and fulfilling life, particularly the many friends and neighbours who rallied round as he became ill. That support made his final months easier. A source of wit and wisdom in equal measure to the end, Charlie was perhaps one of the last great Dalesmen. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 30/10/16 | NYP Community Messaging - Nottingham Knockers Police forces across the country have been issuing alerts after a wave of crimes involving gangs of men who claim to be selling cleaning products but actually are scoping out the victims house in preparation for a burglary at a later date. The scam often involves sellers - also known as Nottingham Knockers - who claim to be a reformed convict trying to make a new life for themselves or to be deaf or dumb and in need of cash to pay for their carer. The crooks go between houses appearing to offer a range of cleaning products but are secretly checking how much cash may be in the house, whether the home is occupied or empty at certain times, how valuable the belongings are and how well protected the house is. A few days or weeks later, a different member of the gang returns to burgle the house using the intelligence gathered by the initial doorstep trader. Forces across the country have issued warnings to vulnerable residents, especially the elderly, to be on their guard. In some cases doorstep hawkers have forced their way inside a property after being told to go away. Those who do pay up risk being added to a list of willing customers and are then targeted by other street sellers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 08/10/16 | Kettlewell School - Consultation As you know, the Governors of Kettlewell Primary School, together with the Governors of Burnsall, Cracoe and Grassington Schools, have published proposals to Federate on 1st February 2017, under the Headship of Julie Morton Lee and a single Governing Body. A meeting for parents, together with a meeting for the wider community, has been held and various documents produced. From the formal responses we have already had and the informal feedback we have received, it appears that there is a lot of support for these proposals. However, a number of parents still have questions and concerns which they would like to raise in a public forum. A further meeting has therefore been arranged on Tuesday 18th October at 6.30 at Kettlewell Village Hall. It would be really helpful if as many people as possible could attend this meeting in order that there is a fair and balanced representation of views. If you have any specific questions or comments it would be helpful to table these in advance. Please send them to Mrs Briggs at school admin@kettlewell.n-yorks.sch.uk by Wednesday 12th October 2016. The ‘Venturer’ will leave the Buck car park at 6.10pm for anyone who would like transport.

The refugees originally came from seven different countries: Cameroon, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Albania, Morocco and Syria. The group were welcomed with refreshments at Buckden Institute following which Garry Schofield took them on a tour Heber Farm. We then went to Kettlewell where a magnificent buffet lunch had been prepared after which we played a variety of games including an impromptu game of cricket. After a walk round the village we went back to the hall for a cup of tea.

| 24/08/16 | NYP Community Messaging This is an alert from North Yorskhire Trading Standards: During June, July and August, North Yorkshire Trading Standards have received numerous reports from across the county of residents and businesses being approached by teams of individuals purporting to be working on nearby highways projects and offering tarmacking services with ‘left over’ stock. These teams are not contracted to any highways projects and invariably the work done is overpriced and of poor quality. Threats are often used to secure payment . The number of reports received would indicate there are several of these teams working across the North Yorkshire area. Residents are warned that if they are approached by such traders they should not engage with them and should contact Citizens Advice on 03454 04 05 06 and ask to speak to a member of the Investigations and Safeguarding Team at North Yorkshire Trading Standards or call the police on 101. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

some will remember for his large moustache. He used to take pictures at
the Gala and died a few years ago. He had a photography business in
Otley which his son took over when he retired. Hazel was born in Buckden
and was one of the last children to attend Buckden school. The Institure

Slight change in our usual arrangements this month, meet at the Buck Inn to catch the 11.15 Upper Wharfedale Venturer to Kettlewell (arrives 11.25), or meet us at the car park in Kettlewell by 11.30.I suggest coffee at Moor End and picnic lunch at Starbotton. Anyone who would like a less energetic stroll up the river could meet us at Starbotton, let me know if you want to do that and I’ll arrange to phone you when we approach lunchtime. Drinks after at the Buck Inn, and, for anyone who needs transport back down to Kettlewell, there is a bus from Buckden at 16.30 (I’m assuming we’ll miss the 15.05!) |

Buckden Gala - Thank
yous....
Well..... a fantastic Gala on Saturday
which broke all previous records. The Gala is a really important event
in our community; it is of course the main source of funds for the
Institute, but just as importantly it is an opportunity for the
community to have fun while working together for the good of the
village, it brings people from down the dale and beyond to Buckden, both
as helpers and as visitors, and is a marvellous showcase for our
wonderful village. This year the Gala raised more than £3,600 -
substantially more than in previous years - more even than in 2013 when
the Fell Race was in the National Championship series. Of course the
success of the day depends on the hard work of many people, but Bev and
Debbie (together with the Gala sub-committee) deserve our special
thanks. Bev and Debbie's own thank you messages are below. Thanks from Bev: Bev would like to say thank you to all who helped on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the setting up of the gala field and the taking down and packing away. It is all very much appreciated. Thanks from Debbie: A big thank you to everyone who had any involvement in this year’s Gala. Although the final total raised is still being calculated it looks likely to be one of the best yet, hopefully over the £3,000 mark. The Gala is a massive joint effort across a multitude of people – those who set up and then clear the field; those that ‘person’ the stalls throughout the day; our outside exhibitors, and the many local businesses who year after year offer raffle prizes or sponsorship; the non-residents who offer their time, the bakers, the musicians, the dog owners, and anyone who donates bric-a-brac or books or tombola prizes. And finally our fabulous visitors who come and spend money and enjoy such a lovely traditional afternoon out in the Dales. It sometimes feels like the effort outweighs the reward, but this year certainly proved that that was not the case. Thank you so much from all of the Buckden Village Hall Committee, and in particular the Gala sub-committee, for helping to fund another year of our wonderful village hall. Debbie. |

Easter at Hubberholme We trust that all have enjoyed a happy and healthy Easter, however and wherever it was spent. Among the regular Church traditions at Easter time, two recent additions are becoming ‘regulars’ in their own right: Palm Sunday Procession. ‘Milly’, courtesy of the Kilnsey Trekking Centre and the excellent handling by Nicole, led the Procession from Buckden Village Green to Hubberholme. We were indebted to Debbie for her accompaniments along the way; the day was glorious and the numbers of supporters a possible record. Milly had a wonderful temperament, which was just as well considering the number of children who took turns to enjoy a ride. To all who came, “thank you” for your support – especially as it was another ‘first’ for James our vicar, as he nears the end of his inaugural year in the parish. (click here for pictures) . Easter Lilies. We would like to thank all who gave so generously of their time and expertise in decorating church over the Easter period. The church looked stunning. Many dedicated ribbons in memory of family and friends, past and present and we know of several casual visitors that were inspired to add their own dedications. A special word of thanks goes to Amy and Grace for the beautiful garden at the foot of the font. The Easter Day service attendance was twice that of last year, helped by visitors from near and far along with many ‘of the village’. All can be assured of a warm welcome whenever they have an opportunity to attend in the future. (click here for pictures) |

Kettlewell Horticultural Society Annual Show will be held in Kettlewell Village hall on Sunday the 30th August 2015. The Village hall will be open for registration of your entries on Saturday 29th at 11am to 4pm and also for late entries on Show Day between 9-9 30am only. The Show was started in 1908, the object being to bring the people in the villages together and take more pride in their gardens, and at first it was purely a competition for the best flower and vegetable garden. The Show was held in the old National School up the hill to Park Rash. It was held in a simple marquee in the school grounds, there was a brass band and grand dance in the evening!... Shortly after when the Village Hall was built in 1927 the Show was moved to the Kettlewell hall. The Show lapsed during the two world wars, otherwise it has been held continuously since 1908 bringing the people of The dales together to show off their prowess and admire the results of their labour and skills. Please come along to support us! Everybody in The Dale welcome. Click here for more details |

| 21/06/15 | Buckden Gala - Message from Richard "Those who attended the Gala know that it was a success and that everyone who came enjoyed the occasion. Several visitors were very complimentary about the welcome they got and how much they hoped to come back. The provisional figures show that we also made a good sum of money for the Village Hall (nearly £2,800 but there may be a few expenses still to pay). Everyone's thanks must go to all those who took part but as before the biggest thanks go to Debbie Roe who organised the event and spent a great amount of time on it during the year and to Bev Owen who managed the setting up and taking down of the field. The Gala is important because it is the main source of income for the Hall for the year but also because it brings the whole community together in a joint endeavour in which friendships and cooperation are created and re-enforced". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 21/06/15 | Buckden Gala - Thank yous Message from Debbie: "Debbie would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed in any way to this year’s Gala – whether you were a stall holder, helped set up or take down at the end, whether you contributed a raffle or tombola prize, baked cakes, spent your money, or brought your family and friends, every little helped make a wonderful day. Despite the weather attempting to put a dampener on the day I think we all had a fantastic time and we have some lovely memories of a community pulling together for the benefit of the village hall. So a big thank you – we should all be very proud of ourselves!" Message from Julie and Alan: "Julie and Alan would like to thank everyone who made such beautiful cakes for the Gala Tea Room. Its success was in no small way down to them and the display was outstanding!" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thomas (Tom) Jones Tom a regular visitor to Buckden with his daughter Karen, sadly passed away peacefully on Tuesday 14th April 2015 aged 98; he would have been 99 on 18th May. Karen writes "The village was a particularly special place for Tom, he spent many, many happy holidays here with his late wife Alma, his family (four generations joined him on some holidays!) and his amazing friends. He loved the stunning landscape of Upper Wharfedale and his last ascent of Buckden Pike with Karen was at the grand age of 89! Most of all, however, he adored the warm welcome, love and respect that he always received from the residents of his beloved Buckden and loved joining the events and celebrations in the village. Thank you all for being there for so many wonderful, precious times and always being so kind and supportive to him" |

Vodafone ROSS update
Following the announcement before Christmas that Buckden had been
selected as one of just 100 communities nationally to benefit from
Vodafone's Rural Open Sure Signal (ROSS) programme, the technical team
will be in the village on Thursday to undertake a survey and visit
potential sites for aerials. On Wednesday last week there was a
reception at the Houses of Parliament where we had the opportunity to
discuss the plans with politicians and senior Vodafone management.
This was useful as we had the chance to discuss some of the particular challenges here in Wharfedale and got a commitment from their senior technical guy to do their best to make it work for us. Click here to read the ROSS newsletter containing more information about the programme and the next steps. |

NYP Community Messaging - Stay Safe scam National NHW produced a Stay Safe booklet earlier this year, which can be downloaded from the NNHW website here. A company has been contacting people ‘selling space’ in their ‘Stay Safe Magazine’. A person calling himself ‘DC Jonathan Philips’ from South Yorkshire Police has been contacting businesses and organisations claiming that he produces a publication that is delivered to all police stations across the UK. When selling this ad space, Jonathan Phillips refers people back to our website and Stay Safe publication to try and validate the claims he makes regarding its reach and distribution. This is thought to be a scam. Ad space is not sold in the Stay Safe booklet and their publication is not thought to exist. Please consider reporting this website to Action Fraud on 0300 123 20 40 under the reference number NFRC141100854878. |

The event is a true village effort, and everyone’s contributions are greatly appreciated – whether by erecting marquees, manning stalls, baking cakes, contributing raffle prizes, or spending money, the Gala could not take place without you. A special thank you to our friends from Kettlewell and Starbotton who gave us so much help and support – I think this year has helped to forge some good community spirit which I’m sure we all hope will be replicated in both directions for years to come. Thank you again from us both! |

Buckden Gala - Message from Richard "Thanks to everyone who contributed to another very successful Gala. Everyone who came had a good time and provisional figures indicate that about £2,400 was made for Hall funds. Would anyone who has any money to pass to the treasurer please let Liz Dawson have it and would anyone who has any expenses to claim please let her know about those as well. Anyone who is holding cash can of course deduct expenses and pass only the balance to Liz but would you still then let her have a note of the total takings and the expenses as that will help the committee to decide which activities are most worthwhile from the profit point of view, though we do not regard profit as the only relevant factor. We do want people to have a good time first and any profit is then a bonus! Thanks again to everyone for a great day and a fantastic result." |

Peter Yorkstone Message from the Churchwardens : "A ‘Farewell’ Service was held on Sunday for Peter Yorkstone. Peter gave his final Sermon at St. Mary’s, Kettlewell, to a full church. There followed a buffet lunch at Kettlewell Village Hall, during which Fiona Jenkins gave a fulsome speech of farewell on behalf of all his parishioners. Carol was presented with a bouquet; Peter was given a picture, commissioned from Angela Falshaw and featuring his four churches together with Scargill, clustered around a portrait depicting him sitting on the bronze age stone ‘Chief’s Chair’ that overlooks an ancient group of stone houses, set high above Langstrothdale. In addition, Peter and Carol received a cheque on behalf of well-wishers from the four parishes and beyond. Peter’s final thoughts were on the importance of ‘kindliness towards all in ones’ life’ – a doctrine he has lived by and demonstrated so effectively throughout his seven years of service to our community. He will be much missed, yet we wish Peter and Carol a long and happy retirement – with lasting gratitude for all his care and service." The Churchwardens Click here for picture |

Kettlewell Mayfest on 5th May is now less than a month away. Debbie Ambler has written to say that they are looking for volunteers for a couple of stalls on the day, a Tour de France stall & a Yorkshire wine stall, only an hour for 2 people each. Also if anyone is available to help erect/take down marquees before & after the day she would be most grateful. Debbie writes that there are already a few volunteers from Buckden & as they are borrowing our marquees it would be good to have people familiar with them. They are also holding a May King & Queen competition and would love the kids to dress regally for the day - there will be prizes. If they don't want to be royal, they can come as sheep too!

NY Police Community Messaging - North Yorkshire Trading Standards welcome reports of traders who cold call at peoples properties in an effort to obtain work. As a service we have a zero tolerance approach to cold calling and doorstep crime because we are aware of the detriment that it can cause vulnerable residents. Itinerant traders use this approach to take advantage of vulnerable consumers, often acting aggressively to railroad people into agreeing to over charged and unnecessary work to their homes. At this time of year the weather improves and the number of cold callers increases. Our advice is to be vigilant of anyone approaching you at your door or the door of any vulnerable neighbours, if you witness anything suspicious or concerning activity, please report it to the Police via 101 or Trading Standards by calling 0845 40 40 506 |

| 06/09/13 | Buckden motorist freed by French police When a Buckden motorist, on holiday in the Dordogne area of France, stupidly parked on a road with no "no parking" signs, the local police were quick to react, in a scene reminiscent of Dick Walker and Steve Charlton's recent rendition of the Gendarme's Duet. Armed police in a van with blue flashing lights and sirens were sent to seize the hapless holiday maker, who had inadvertently contravened the local bye-law which states that if nothing happens all day, it's fair game to hassle English tourists. Fortunately the motorist was able to talk his way out of the situation. A spokesman for the French police, when asked if this was an appropriate way to treat visitors, said: "We run them in, we run them in, we run them in, we run them in, we show them we're the bold Gendarmes". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You did a marvellous job organizing and leading the “Jacob’s Join” gathering hosted at the community centre. We had such a nice time connecting with so many of your fellow residents. The stories and singing were delightful; the food and drink were equally outstanding. The time passed too quickly! Our visit to Langstrothdale was truly beyond expectations. The scenery, landscapes, history, architecture, and atmosphere were fantastic. Our photographs don’t do it justice! But the people of the Buckden community really put our visit over the top. After our week, we departed knowing that we had been “home”! We will not forget you! Please let everyone there know of the heartfelt “Thanks” from our entire group. We hope the community is enjoying the summer season. With warm regards, Chris & Sharon Longstreth" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Gala The treasurer has announced that the approximate figure for the Gala profit is £3,267.83. It may be subject to minor alterations if any more income or expenditure comes to light later but that is a fantastic figure and represents a considerable achievement for the whole community. Thanks in particular go to Debbie Roe the Gala Secretary and to Bev Owen the field organiser. Thanks must also go to everyone who helped but there are too many to mention them all here. There will be an open meeting at 7.30 on Tuesday 25 June in the Hall at which any comments criticisms and suggestions for improvement for next year's Gala will be aired. We have decided that it is best to have such a meeting soon after the Gala while thoughts are still fresh in people's minds and this meeting is intended to be a constructive and frank exchange of views so please anyone who has any ideas or anything they want to say do come along and we will see if next year's Gala can be even better than this. |

Vandalism on a
grand scale Anyone watching yesterday's business news will be
delighted to have seen that Yorkshire Water made profits of £330 million
pounds last year (that would be from us!) Unfortunately they seem to
have decided to spend most of it destroying one of Yorkshire's best
loved and unique landscapes - Langstrothdale, not to mention the
disruption caused to the lives of those living and working in the dale.
It is a complete mystery why Yorkshire Water are allowed to get away
with it - and we can only hope that once the work is finished, they will
resurface the road and repair the damage caused to the landscape. If you
haven't been up the dale lately,

Fast Broadband Update As you may be aware there has been a delay in the roll out of Fast Broadband to the Upper Dale. The cause of this is the wireless repeater mast at Moor End farm Kettlewell. The final location of this mast was the third choice as first the National Trust and then Natural England ruled out the preferred locations. Having trialled the mast for some weeks, it is evident that this location does not have sufficient access to clean wind and sun to maintain the power necessary to provide a reliable service. These issues will be addressed at the beginning of January and providing the alterations prove satisfactory then the roll-out to the upper dale will be resumed. The good news is that the remote wireless mast above Buckden has worked continuously since the day it was commissioned so when the issues are fixed at Moor End then the roll out can proceed all the way to Cam Houses |

| 01/07/12 | Broadband update - BT Openreach arrived last Tuesday night to clear the ducting to allow for the installation of the fibre optic cable to Kettlewell School. Having spent the whole night fighting mud and midges they were able to clear all but one section of the ducting. This un-cleared section will require digging out and replacing. This has now gone back to Openreach’s planning department to be put into their work schedule. That is the bad news; the good news is that the section that needs digging out is at the widest part of the road and will probably not require a full road closure and can be done in daylight hours. We will let you know when we have a date for these works to take place | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Buckden Walkers 6 Dales Trail The the third stage of the 6 Dales Trail on 20 May is from the Water Tower on Greenhow Hill Road to Wath, just beyond Pateley Bridge. This is approximately 7 miles with no big climbs but one steepish decent. There are several fields with long grass so if it has been raining it will be wet. When surveyed there were a couple of muddy patches and a small area of bog, but enough to get wet if you do not have boots. Start from the Buck at 10.00 where car allocation will be determined. Anyone wishing to travel independently please let Stella & Robin know - probably start walking from the phone box opposite the pub around 11.15 after completing car shuffle. There is a posh hotel/restaurant at Wath (Sportsman? any info?) which has been reported as not very walker friendly, but there is an option to stroll another 0.9 mile towards Pately Bridge while the second phase of the car shuffle takes place. |

Info wanted about Matthias Dixon and family Ron Kerrison has contacted us asking for information about Matthias Dixon who was born at Kidstones Farm in Bishopdale, lived with his wife and their first four children at the farm behind the pub at CRAY between 1902 and (perhaps) 1911. The 4 children were Mary (Molly)1902, Frances1903, Richard1905, William Johnson Dixon1907 and Edmund1908. Richard remembered the conker trees on his way to Buckden school, and the waterfalls. For some reason the parents split up before 1911 and his wife went to live in Bedale, However the 1911 census has her at the "Manor House" in Buckden for what must have been a short time. One of the children later lived for some years in the village - perhaps the 1960s?Can anybody add any more information to this outline? Why were they at the "Manor House"? If you have any information please email info@buckden.org |

Upper Wharfedale Sustainability Working Group Buckden and Kettlewell-with-Starbotton Parish Councils and Kettlewell School Governing Body formed a working group late in 2011 to identify and develop proposals focused on increasing pupil numbers. A range of ideas are being considered to propose to the Governors how the school might be celebrated and promoted to ensure parents consider Kettlewell Primary School for their children. The group is also seeking to market the up dale communities as practical, viable and enviable places to live, work and bring up children. This has been extended to include the communities of Littondale. This is an open initiative – the working party are keen for you to support the need for an integrated approach to enhancing sustainability and are actively seeking ideas and involvement from you all. We will be communicating further as the initiative develops – in the meantime, if you would like more information or would like to get involved please email info@upperwharfedale.org |

Buckden Community Responders - are now being alerted to emergencies via a mobile phone and Vodaphone Sure Signal box, giving a mobile signal within about 30 metres of the box; if there are other people in the village using the same system it would be very helpful if they would register the Responders phone on their box, as an extra user, since this would mean that they would be able to pick up a signal other than in their own houses and gardens. Adding the user is very simple. The number is 07760 998559 and the phone is registered in Anne Newman's name....and of course more volunteers are always needed! For more details please contact Anne |

Safer Neighbourhoods - New Non Emergency Number to contact police The national non-emergency number 101 is coming to North Yorkshire Police on 12 December 2011 and will replace the 0845 60 60 24 7 number. While 999 is a well-recognised number used to report emergencies, the 2010 British Crime Survey found that only 54% of the public knew how to contact their local police if they wanted to talk to them about policing, crime or anti-social behaviour. The introduction of the 101 number will offer the public one easy way to contact their local police force. The benefits of this new number include: Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day you call or how long you are on the phone; 101 is available 24 hours a day; When you call 101, you will be able to speak to the force control room via the automated switchboard. When you call 101, we will act on the information we receive. Calling 101 will not result in your call receiving a lower priority than if you had called 999 about a non-emergency issue. |

Old Sports of the Yorkshire Dales The Yorkshire Dales National Park is, like all the UK national parks, taking part in an event linked to London 2012 which involves projects relating to sport.

They are currently searching for information which will form the basis of an exhibition at The Dale Countryside Museum at the time of the Olympics. The Friends of the Museum have done a lot of work and found loads of stuff, but almost all relates to Swaledale and Wensleydale. They are looking for material from other parts of the Dales and are contacting community websites and Local and Family history groups. If you have any interesting photographs, stories or equipment please contact g.b.keeble1@btinternet.com or leave a message for me at the Museum on 01969 666210. |

| 06/08/11 | Buckden wins again on the Big Lottery The Institute Committee are delighted to announce that the recent application for grant funding has been successful. The Big Lottery has awarded us a second grant of £10,000, this one to be spent over the next year on improving hall lighting and on a complete refurbishment of the toilets. If possible the lighting work, which will take about 3 days, will be undertaken before the Art Exhibition. The work on the toilets will take longer, but we hope as far as possible to be able to keep one toilet available for use at all times during the works. Work will probably commence early autumn, and will certainly be finished well before Xmas. Many thanks to John Cowpe for all his efforts in securing the funding and managing the work. Thanks too to Steve Pope for all his advice and support on the lighting scheme. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 10/04/11 | Stella & Robin's walk - Stella & Robin completed their walk in the Derbyshire peak district last Sunday Stella writes: " 42 miles and 8000 feet. No blisters but aching limbs and a peculiar walk, especially down-stairs, and a sleep deficit. It took just over 16 hours. Some of the runners (yes!) can do it in half the time and a good many people do not come in until after midnight, nearly 24 hours after the start, so we did not do too badly. The weather was kind, although the first few hours were into a head wind and, for once, the bogs were sufficiently dry to hold our weight when we made injudicious leaps across water. Picture on top of Kinder Scout - click here. Many thanks to those who sponsored us in aid of the Reverb Youth Club in Kettlewell" If you still want to sponsor Stella & Robin it's not too late.

Low energy light bulb recycling – as you may be aware low energy light bulbs contain a small amount of mercury and therefore should not be disposed of in your normal household waste. A national scheme has been set up to collect, and subsequently recycle, the mercury, glass and metal used in low energy light bulbs and Buckden Village Institute is proud to have signed up to the scheme. A collection box has been located just inside the village hall entrance, and all you have to do is gently drop your light bulbs (low energy ones only please) into the top of the box. Debbie Roe, as our local volunteer, will periodically empty the box and remove the contents to a collection point in Skipton. We are also looking into what schemes are available for the collection of household batteries – so watch this space. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 1/11/10 | Kettlewell School Public Meeting A public meeting was held on 1st November in Kettlewell Village Hall at 6.30 p.m. A packed hall heard a totally unconvincing presentation after which many of the audience expressed their universal and strongly held opposition to the proposals. While the councillor chairing the meeting stated several times that they were listening and taking account of the views of the local people, the statements made by the representatives of the Education department, and their failure to answer effectively a number of key questions, notably about forecast numbers and the sustainability of the local community, made it clear that, as one of them actually said "the decision has been taken - now we are consulting about it". The statement made about funding for increased transport costs being the responsibility of Craven District Council and therefore not relevant to the decision, served to underline the "Alice in Wonderland" feel to the proceedings. It is essential that as many of us as possible respond formally to the consultation process, expressing our views in the strongest possible terms. Click here to download the consultation documents and other relevant material. If you would like to share your own views with the rest of the community in the upper dale please email: saveourschool@buckden.org and they will be posted on this site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 15/10/10 | The Buck - latest - We are advised by Mr David Broschomb MICBA, of Fleurets that, although he cannot divulge at what stage they are in regard to negotiations with interested parties, he can confirm that they have been encouraged by the level of interest. He can confirm that, despite all manner of rumours that may be circulating, the Buck Inn is definitely going to be reopened (with a suitable tenant) as a hostelry. It is not being sold/let for alternative use. As for the time scale, he can say that finding a long term suitable tenant takes time and research on their part, and will take as long as is needed. However he can confirm that the Buck Inn will not be closed a minute longer than is necessary. So that's OK then. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Buckden Gala - Saturday 19th June 2010. With just over a month to go until the Gala, we would be grateful for donations for the raffle, tombola, white elephant, cake and plant stalls. Donations may be left in the week running up to the Gala at the village hall or with Debbie Roe. Don’t forget the photo competition - the subject for both senior and junior (under 12 years) categories will be "My Best Photo". The competition will be limited to a maximum of 3 photographs per entrant. Photographs can be any size and should be un-mounted. This year we will also be having a small craft competition – the four classes, divided into adult and child (under 12 years), will consist of a handmade Father’s Day card, a decorated cupcake, an animal made from vegetables, and a painted pebble. Entries should be brought to the Gala field on the day, and there will be a small charge for each entry (more details next month). There will also be a ‘best-dressed potato’ competition (again split into adult and child classes) – entries can be brought on the day, or assembled at the Gala on the day. We are also investing in an additional marquee this year, so we will be able to offer a wider variety of stalls, with the benefit of more undercover tent space. So if the weather forecast is poor there is still every reason for you to come. Make sure Saturday 19 June is in your diary! |

It is hoped that a mini bus might become available but we will still require some cars.

Other Mondays as yet unclaimed are May 3rd and September 6th. There are a couple of chances to lead an ‘Evening Stroll’ – around 2 to 2.5 miles, based upon a hostelry of your choice where non-walkers could join us for a meal; the available dates are May 12th and June 9th. Volunteers for any of the slots mentioned above should contact David or Susan. We ‘Thank you’ for all your enthusiasm and support. |

Secret Ski Proposals – Latest – The report this week on the Ski Resort proposal has generated much interest and correspondence. Several villagers have written in support of the proposal – one claims even to have thought of the idea before, whilst another is planning to convert their premises into an über-cool après-ski tea-room. On the other hand, Mrs Gladys Ingleton has written to protest – I think. Click here to read her radical if somewhat tangential views. Meanwhile, it appears that all is not well in the developers’ camp – to read the fascinating if somewhat ill-tempered email exchange which has been forwarded to us by our green Austrian friend - click here . |

Village Hall Announcement - Peter Breen has had to step down as secretary to the Village Hall committee after several years because of work commitments. Peter was a very efficient and effective secretary and many of the recent improvements to the Hall and the increased use of the Hall owe a great deal to his enthusiasm and efforts. He will be a hard act to follow and his input will be missed. We thank him for all he has done for the community and are pleased that he will still be involved as a supporter of village activities and as a valued neighbour. The committee has co-opted Debbie Roe as a member and she has agreed to act as secretary until the AGM on 22 April 2009. We are pleased to announce that she has also indicated that she expects to be able to put her name forward at the AGM for formal election as secretary for the 2009/10 year. |

Lynn and Steve - would like to apologise for the size of their new tearoom signs. This is a genuine mistake on our part and we’ve tried our best to make them look a bit less obtrusive by sawing off part of the legs. We really hope people – including other businesses in the village – won’t find them too much of a nuisance and apologise if they do. We only plan to put the signs out when we are open and they will be brought in every night at 6pm. Next time we’ll be more careful. |

two at the local pubs, topped up by other bits and pieces), organising

Linda) and then getting the tickets into circulation (mainly through the
committee).
