Yorkshire Arboretum Director Dr John Grimshaw said, “Each Artist-in-Residence has taken a different perspective on the Arboretum. We’re very much looking forward to being part of Meg’s exploration and seeing the artwork that emerges.”

Demolition of the former bowls pavilion in Slingsby Sportsfield will begin on Saturday 19th October. Any contents not removed by then will be going in a skip or on the bonfire. There are a small number of chairs, 10 tables and a stool previously used in the clubhouse as well as a large amount of crockery.  The tables are of various sizes and heights and would be useful for sheds, garages etc.  The crockery consists of cups saucers, beakers and side and dinner plates. Rather than bin them they could be used  for smashing on a side stall like a coconut shy at the May Day event. If you are interested in taking any of these items, which are free, the pavilion will be open at 4 pm on Thursday 17th October for anyone to come and help themselves. No fighting please. Geoff Brooks, Slingsby Sports Club.

The Secret Story of the Georgian Stables of Birdsall House
By Janine Buckley

The story of the country house stable will be brought to life through this archaeological interpretation of the Georgian stables at Birdsall House. Stables, often fine architectural works in their own right, are often overlooked in academic study in favour of the houses they served. Janine Buckley’s research into this under-explored subject brings to light how these equestrian buildings were used and experienced by their patrons, their staff and by the horses housed in them.
