Saturday 30th April 2016 from 6pm to midnight – road closure between Slingsby and Barton le Street, on the B1257 road between Slingsby and Malton.

Visitors may not be aware of this proposed closure for carriageway repairs – signs have gone up on the road.

If your travel plans are affected you may wish to take local advice as to the best diversion for you.

(We would like to know if anyone spots changes to the signs – via Facebook, Twitter or by using the “contact” tab on the website homepage. We’d rather not get this closure wrong twice… Thank you!)

Tuesday 3rd May 2016 at 7 pm at Mowbray Rise, Greendykes Lane, Slingsby.

“Sowers and Growers” is our village’s new gardening group. At the meeting on Tuesday, Trudy Carr will be sharing her expertise on baskets and containers.

The group will usually meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month in the Committee Room of Slingsby Village Hall, at 7pm for about an hour.

Open to experienced and novice gardeners.

We hope to share tips, ideas and hopefully plants.

A contribution of £1 per meeting would be appreciated towards costs
