Comments are welcome
by •
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.

Slingsby Sports Club Harvest Festival boosts Yorkshire Air Ambulance
by •
The annual Harvest Festival held in Slingsby’s Sports Club on 8th 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.

Village Design Statement – closing date for your returns
by •
Calling all Residents of Slingsby, South Holme, and Fryton!
Have you filled in and returned your Village design statement questionnaire ?
Please do this, because we can only produce a useful plan to improve the village and protect the important buildings and views if it represents the opinions of the majority of residents. So far we have not received any comments about either Fryton or South Holme!
Please fill in your questionnaire which was delivered with the current edition of The Triangle and return it to the Village Shop, or Keith Buck at Sawpit Cottage, near The Green by 31st Oct.

Supermobile Poster_2011_Slingsby
For more information, see the message from the NY Libraries below:
“…We have been consulting with local communities, highways and
other agencies on the proposed Supermobile service in your area, I am pleased to confirm stops in your area as follows:
Fortnightly from 4 November 2011
Slingsby – Fridays, 2.00pm – 4.00pm
The Green, adjacent to Porch House
The Supermobile stops are scheduled for one location, two hours in length, once a fortnight. The visit provides a valuable opportunity to bring together a wider range of community activities. It would be helpful if you were able to
encourage other agencies, local groups, etc to work with us to broaden the range of services available to your local community during the morning or afternoon at the Supermobile visit. It is our hope that the Supermobile can become a focal point to the advantage of local communities.
The vehicle, which is DDA compliant, provides around 3,000 items of stock,
including books, videos, DVDs and audio books. Public access to the internet
is also available via our satellite link which also provides full access to the
library management system and council information.
We will be issuing a press release and posters and where possible contacting
users of the previous mobile service, and of course, you will be most welcome to visit and see the service in action. If, in the meantime you have any questions or suggestions to celebrate the first visit then please contact
[email protected].
Yours sincerely
