Whether you are are in Slingsby or Sydney, Fryton or France, South Holme or the South Pacific, Pickering or Perth (WA), not to mention all those places in between, we hope you enjoyed seeing in the New Year.
The Slingsby Website and Newsletter Group wish you a happy, prosperous and peaceful 2013 and look forward to bringing you more good news in the forthcoming year.
On Tuesday 15th January local farmer Bruce Harrison of Wath will share some of his thoughts about the nature of the prehistoric landscape in this area, in an informal presentation illustrated by some wonderful prehistoric artefacts. Bruce has been actively interested in archaeology in Ryedale and on the Wolds for many years and has a deep understanding of the geology and archaeology of this part of the area based on years of observation and discovery. Come along to find out more! The Slingsby Local History Group will be meeting on Tuesday 15th January, 7.30pm, Village Hall.

If you’ve read the short but informative website article in the November/December issue of the Triangle, then you’ll have heard about the email update service that is powered via the village website.
What does it do? It’s a simple service open to anyone running an event or group within the parish who wants to send reminders and updates to other people, active groups and organisations based in our parish. You send one email detailing your news/update and we send out the information to everyone on the subscription list. As we state on the subscribe page the aim is to ‘simplify the process for communicating information to other individuals, groups and organisations working within the Slingsby, Fryton and South Holme Parish.’
The idea is to get as many people, active groups and organisations based in our parish, signed up so that important information can flow. We launched this little service nearly a year ago, but sadly the number of subscribers has come in way below expectations. To make it work we need more. If we don’t get more subscribers then the service will be closed.
UPDATE: This service was shutdown on 6th March due to lack of subscribers.
Flooded land alongside the River Derwent in Malton | Photo by Richard Flint
This week Malton has been in the news headlines, both locally and nationally, as the River Derwent flooded causing damage to property and forcing the re-routing of traffic.
This photograph was taken along Norton road yesterday (29th November) where a small stretch of riverside park now resides underwater. Hopefully the water level will start dropping soon.
Do you have a great photograph you’d like to share with us?
If you’d like to submit an image for the photo of the month slot, you can send it to [email protected]
