Ever since the earliest stages of the village website project, the development team have played around with the idea of visitors being able to comment on the content of the website. We liked the idea of getting feedback from the community.

As part of a test, lasting until the end of the year, the comments function has been switched ON in the News and Events section. If it’s successful, the comments function may be expanded to other areas of the website.

It should be noted that all comments will be moderated by the admin team before being published.

So why not leave us a comment. Do you think the comments function on the website will be useful? Let us know.

The first Annual General Meeting of the Slingsby Website and Newsletter Group was held on 18 October 2011. The meeting was successful and the Group thanks the residents who attended. The AGM minutes and other related documents are now available to view and can be downloaded below:

The annual Harvest Festival held in Slingsby’s Sports Club on 8^th October was enjoyed by over 50 people.  As well as harvest hymn singing and slightly irreverent readings from once a year ‘vicar’ Mike Coates, there was bingo, a raffle, a pie and pea supper and an auction of baking and produce.

All proceeds were for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and as usual people were extremely generous and almost £450 was raised. The Sports Club added a donation to make the total up to £500 for the night.

Thanks to all who contributed financially or donated prizes to the event.

The staff at Yorkshire Air Ambulance were notified of the sum raised and they in turn advised us that this money will bring the total amount raised and donated to the charity by the Sports Club to just over £7000.

A representative from the charity will be coming to Slingsby in mid November to formally receive the cheque and acknowledge the contributions made by Club Members.
