Slingsby Youth Club winds up

It is with some sadness and regret that after almost eight years the final meeting of the Slingsby, Southolme and Fryton Youth Club was held on 28th April 2011.  All residue of funds and equipment have been put into the hands of Yorkshire Youth who in turn will distribute to needy local youth groups.  The volunteers of the Youth Club would like to thank all villagers whether individuals or as part of a group who have supported the Youth Club both financially and otherwise over the years.
