A message from Paul Hogarth the chairman of Slingsby Sports and Social Club.

“Normally this would be the time of the year when we would be publishing details of the car boot sale dates for the year.

Unfortunately, as we all know, these are not normal times and we currently do not have plans for any car boot sales at the moment.Should circumstances change we will update our plans but at the moment it is paramount that we all follow the guidance.

Stay at home – Protect the NHS – Save Lives”

Paul Hogarth

The panic buying of oil from BATA as reported in March, has returned to normal meaning that the next last day for Consortium orders will be 1 June.
However, the price of oil has dropped significantly and it may well be worth someone ordering oil as an individual now because on 1 June the price may have risen again.

Here are the remaining two local walks in the Slingsby area provided by Geoff Brooks.

They have proved to be popular with locals at this difficult time. We have therefore set up a website page dedicated to all eleven local walks for the benefit of residents and future visitors to the village.

On a warm spring day, beautiful blossom in the village (The Lawns).

How do trees feel in Spring?

Relieved.
