On Thursday 12th May we went to the

Grimsby Auditorium to watch Blood Brothers by Willy Russell. The story follows the lives of twins separated at birth growing up on opposite sides of the track, only to meet again with tragic consequences. I think I can safely say that everyone enjoyed it, finding it very funny at times and sad at the next.

Thank you to the drivers who took us there and to Gill for organizing it.

The Group had their monthly meeting on May 16th when Natural Flights of the Human Mind by Clare Morrall was discussed in great detail. According to Peter this was a ‘ladies book’ and one which he didn’t enjoy very much but the rest of the group found it great, a really good read, full of interest even if at times rather farfetched. It certainly kept everyone on their toes and went down as a good novel, well worth the effort and another successful evening was enjoyed.

We are presently reading The People on Privilege Hill – a collection of short stories which will be quite a change from all previous books. We are always ready to try something different. One of the comments often said in the group is that ‘I wouldn’t have read that if it hadn’t been for the group and would have missed another good book.’

We meet again on Tuesday 26th July (note different day please) so if anyone would care to join us, do come along – you would be made most welcome. Just ring me on 618391.

Since early February the children in Key Stage Two, aged between seven and 11 years, have been working on the Enquiry School Programme with Kirsty Champ, a Creative Practitioner. Together they have transformed two outside spaces. A grassed area, which had the remains of a vegetable plot on it, now has a willow structure and the quadrangle at the heart of the school, has a clay oven.

The children, with the staff, were involved in all the planning of the project from the beginning. They have been given responsibilities throughout the project, taking an active part in selecting our Creative Practitioner and even being given the ultimate say on who was chosen. They have also been given opportunities to provide honest feedback on all aspects of the project.

Kirsty planned the project with the staff and the children and worked with the whole class to make the books where they have recorded their thoughts, drawn their designs and written down their ideas. The children and staff have also recorded the progress of the project by taking photos and kept the rest of the school up to date with their progress in assemblies.

From the outset, all pupils in Key Stage Two were involved in the planning of the willow structure, evaluating whether the design was fit for purpose. They designed two areas in it: one being for quiet activities and the other for performance. The clay oven was built by Kirsty with the children in the quadrangle, using bricks, mud and cement.

Later the children organised a ‘Smoothie Tasting Session’ so that they could decide on which were the best smoothies to prepare on our Celebration Day. One parent was continually involved in the project as she is part of the ‘Let’s Get Cooking Project’, which tied in with the work celebrated on our Celebration Day.

The project culminated in the Celebration Day when parents, family and community members were invited into school to prepare fruit and to taste smoothies and pizzas and to celebrate all that the children had achieved. The feedback from parents, family and community members was extremely positive about the whole of the project and the adults wrote about the enthusiasm and commitment of the children to it.

Here Shirley Budworth describes the celebration event and the children recount the exciting activities they have taken part in.

What a wonderful afternoon was had by all who attended

Worlaby Primary School Celebration Day on Wednesday 25 May.

We sampled various smoothies (strawberry & banana; orange & mango) made

by the pupils; admired the willow structures in the garden and ate pizza and

garlic bread cooked in a clay oven built by the pupils with the help of Kirsty.

The herbs on the garlic bread were from their own raised bed in the inner

courtyard.

Well done everyone.

The Willow Structure by KayleighYears 3, 4, 5 and 6 helped build the Willow Structure with Kirsty Champ. It is made out of willow and will be a fully covered dome when grown. We used adult tools such as hammers and pegs and brown twine to hold it together. It’s going to be used as a performance area in one part and for quiet reading and conversation in another.

Thinking Journals by MillieWe made thinking journals with Kirsty Champ. We made them out of recycled paper magazines and card and decorated them with wrapping paper and pictures and cut outs. They were for us to write in about the work we did with Kirsty in the enquiry schools programme.

The Clay Oven by IsobelWe all worked to build the clay oven in the quadrangle. It is made out of bricks, bottles, hay and cement. I liked the bit were you made the clay into sausages and getting my hands mucky.

Pizzas and Pomegranates by JadeWhen the clay oven is finished we will make pizzas and hot food that need cooking. We also made smoothies with Kirsty Champ. We used all types of fruit like kiwi, pomegranates, oranges, pineapples and summer fruits. We mixed them in a blender. I liked all the fruit apart from the pomegranates and I really enjoyed my smoothie.

Worlaby School


from the leAverS

Here four Leavers from Year 6 tell us about their time as pupils at Worlaby school and what they will miss.

Cameron I remember Mrs Broadhurst wearing lots and lots of bobbles for bad hair day. I also remember the dark spooky corner in reception constructed during Halloween – I even dragged my mum inside it. Later during Year 2 we had a science lesson which I remember involved crawling around in the dark with a torch. When I leave this lovely school I will really miss everyone, the small classes and laughing with the excellent teachers.

ChloeI have attended Worlaby School for just 2 years and in this time I have made some really great friends. I have really enjoyed this school as it is small and friendly. I will miss Worlaby and Miss Oliver a lot.

AmyI started in reception so I have been here all my life. I can remember when Miss Broadhurst started – we had already had three teachers in reception and Miss Broadhurst was much more fun and jolly than the others. I can remember when the hall was made into two classrooms (it was very cramped). I also remember when my best friend Cameron started at Worlaby – we have been best friends ever since. When I leave I will really miss the teachers, the atmosphere and laughter that I have had. It was a great experience being at Worlaby School.

AlexI have only been at Worlaby for a short while as I moved from Australia The schools are really different in Australia and I think Worlaby School is a lot better as it is smaller and not noisy. My favourite time at Worlaby is when we play football as we didn’t play it in Australia. Although I didn’t enjoy my SATs I did enjoy the party we had afterwards! I will miss all the friends I have made while being at such a good school.

Jack would like to announce the birth of his baby brother Owen on the 22nd March 2011 son of Chris and Lucy of Hurds Farm.

WorlAby doeS Well At brigg feStivAl of muSic, SPeech And drAmA

This spring at the Brigg Festival, residents and school children from Worlaby did exceptionally well, taking two of the top awards.

Julian Plunkett of 6, New Rd, won the top prize in the Speech and Drama section. He has been chosen by the adjudicator to represent North Lincs and Brigg at the British & International Federation of Festivals Regional Final in Ilkley on September 24th. Festivals from all over the various counties of Yorkshire and Humberside will be entering the student considered to be the best by their adjudicator. It is the 90th Anniversary of British Festivals this year and we understand that there will be a lot of publicity for this event.

Hannah Clark (the daughter of Angela Clark and granddaughter of Mandy and Jeff Rowson of 14 Grangefield) also took a top prize. She has been awarded the Joan Dodd Trophy for being the most promising student in Speech and Drama.

Julian’s other achievements were: 1st places in Shakespeare acting; Solo acting, which he performed in the winners concert; Dramatic Monologue, which he will be performing in Ilkley; Prose speaking and humorous verse, for which he was awarded the Thomas Day Trophy.

He was also awarded 1st place with Hannah Clark in the secondary school Duologue class (Drama Duet) for which they won the Pauline Powell Memorial trophy.

Hannah Clark won 1st place in Verse Speaking and also she was awarded two 1st places in Piano Solo in the music section winning the Weightman Trophy.

Both Julian and Hannah are coached in both Music and Drama here in Worlaby by Julian’s Mum, Colette Cullen. She wrote most of their scripts for the festival and indeed was awarded the Booth Settle Memorial Trophy for original composition (Adult).

Worlaby School also did very well this year. They entered several children in the Verse Speaking classes, Group Rap and Original Verse class (Own Composition) primary level. They gained 1st place for their Group Rap, which they wrote themselves and performed at the Winners concert. Alexander Raithby of Worlaby School took 1st place in the original verse (own composition) Class Primary and Amy Haworth, also of Worlaby School came 2nd.

Worlaby School children were coached by the teachers and by Chris Robinson, who lived in Worlaby for many years and still does supply teaching at the school. Chris is now a committee member of the Brigg Festival.

Well done to all those who took part and worked so hard!

A future golf chAmPion

I’m so proud of my grandson Kieran Raworth-

Hayes of Hurds Farm who has just won a Golf Competition at Collingtree in Northampton. This was a very difficult course with lots of water. It was really hot on that day and the surroundings were lovely so both Mum and Nan had a good time and enjoyed watching the competitors who were ranging in age from 11 years (Kieran’s age) to 17 years. Kieran came in with a net score of 63 and won overall.

Kieran has been playing golf since he was six years old, starting at Elsham in group lessons on a Saturday. He then had private lessons with Mathew at Elsham, and played his first competition which was a flag competition, whilst with Mathew. Kieran got through to the semi final, and we were all pleased with that. When Mathew moved on from Elsham, Kieran started on the YMG courses at Forest Pines, where he has worked up from Cadet level through all the stages to Master three, which he is working on now.

Kieran does practice hard (also training with Lincolnshire County) and is to be seen at Elsham or Forest Pines at least four times a week during the summer months. In winter he practises during the week on floodlit driving ranges, as well as playing at the weekends. All this and lots of homework from school too.

Kieran has quite a few competitions during the summer and in October is playing in a three day event in Portugal. We wish him all the best at these events.

Vi Raworth

time to imProve your gAme!The Recreation Committee have decided to open the Tennis Courts for the summer for people to freely use. All that we ask is that these are treated with care and that frequent users offer a donation. This will go towards the upkeep of the playing surface. The donation can be popped into the letter box at Mulberries, New Road, Worlaby.

Triumphing on the G

olf Course


The first May Day event held in the new Village Hall was a resounding success, attracting over two hundred people to join in the celebrations.

Families travelled from around the Brigg area to join in the fun and shop at the craft stalls in the village hall. The weather, although a little on the windy side, was fine and dry allowing a range of traditional games to take place on the recreation ground.

A plaque was unveiled to Jim Wilson to mark his generous bequest to the village which made the building of the new Village Hall possible.

The entertainment included music from the 1906 Gasperini fairground organ and Morris dancing from the Tatterfoals – some more energetic people joined in the Zumba dance routines, a taster of the sessions to come in the Village Hall.

Thanks to the hard work by all involved, the event made a profit of over £984 for the village hall – money that we can put toward the running costs and to buy new items we desperately need to hold our events.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event and to those who bought raffle tickets – a staggering 665 were sold!

A full list of the prize draw winners can be seen on the notice boards, but the first three prize-winners were: £150 Travel Voucher (Humberside Airport) Jon Sharpe (546)Child’s Bicycle (Sherwoods Cycles) Mrs Turner (433)£50 Tesco Voucher (Singleton Birch) N. Metcalfe (614)

Lemon juice is great for cleaning brass and copper.

Chewing gum that is stuck on small items can be removed by placing the article in the freezer and later simply use a knife to scrape off the gum.

Kitchen smells can be successfully eliminated by simmering vinegar in a pan

If you want to rejuvenate a much loved but ‘bobbly’ garment, just take a small piece of Velcro and move it over the surface. This should collect all the bobbles leaving the surface smooth again.

Cat and dog hairs can be quickly removed from small areas by just winding sellotape around your hand and applying – easy!

rurAl Scene

The old adage ‘lots of sun and rain in May, means plenty of corn and hay’ was often repeated long before any real scientific

research confirmed that this is the case. The point being made is that for grass-type plants (including cereal crops) to do well, you need both sun and the rain. To maximise growth and yield you need the right balance between the two weather conditions, particularly at this crucial time of year.

This Spring and early Summer we have had plenty of sunshine and very little rainfall. While we may have been enjoying the cloudless skies, it is a problem for the wheat and barley crops which are looking somewhat poorly. One of the problems is that the lack of rain is making them come to ear too rapidly. ‘Coming to ear’ is when the plant makes seed for the following year. Doing it now means that there is little time left to fatten the grains with starch, despite the plentiful sunshine. The result is a good deal of uncertainty about the harvest and, inevitably, the grain markets respond by rising in value.

Uncertainty is something that often blights our lives and we try as best as we can to work to secure our future. One way to safeguard against possible shortages in the future is to build up grain stocks as we did in the 80s and 90s. This policy has its downside and attracted much criticism as ‘food-mountains’ grew in Europe while in many other parts of the world people went hungry. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as sending our surplus food to those who are starving. In addition to the problem of transport costs, the food itself often does not meet local dietary needs; nor does this ‘solution’ encourage sustainable agriculture. Over time the food mountains were gradually reduced to minimum stocks, hence the rise in prices during shortages.

The emphasis has now shifted to minimising risk and having ‘food security’. Having water available for your crops at all times would be one way farmers could make the harvest more certain. Unfortunately, as this year has shown, while we may be able to marshal the water resources to irrigate high value salad crops, we are unable to do the same for the staple cereal crops on which we are so dependent. For this we are still dependent on Mother Nature.

the WiShing Well

Before we moved here I knew of Worlaby for two reasons. Firstly because I travelled through as a child on our way to Saxby to visit relatives of my mum’s who had previously lived in Worlaby. Secondly, because I remember my parents telling me that The Wishing Well pub in Worlaby had, at one time, been the-place-to-go. Prior to drink-driving laws, of course, my parents travelled from Scunthorpe, as did others from far and wide to visit this fashionable establishment!

Legend has it that there was once a teetotal squire of Worlaby who would not allow an inn in the village. Farm-workers were not to be stopped though from taking the occasional tipple, and brewed their own beer. They stored it in a well and when they wanted a drink, they just went down the well. Villagers still went down to the well for a drink when The Wishing Well pub opened in 1964.

The first owners were Jack and May Stevens, who had two daughters Diane and Mary and two sons, Robert and Mark. They were very popular in the area; the pub was full every night and very busy at lunchtimes. A lot of business was done over the bar by business men and people queued at the doors on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, coming from all over the area.

May, the landlady, was very glamorous, and house-proud: you would see her scrubbing her front step at 7am every morning and polishing the floors.

There were three rooms in the pub – the Silver Room, the bar and the Wishing Well Bar, in which the main attraction was a well. There was living accommodation upstairs. The Silver Room was always available for the village; this was an agreement set in place when the Wishing Well was built. The village had excellent dominos and darts teams, who met in this room. Worlaby Parish Council regularly used the venue and when Mr Tucker the Vicar was incumbent, the Silver Room was regularly used for PCC meetings. The famous Worlaby Rovers football team, run by Mr George Henry Trout, held all their associated events at The Wishing Well and it was also home to WI meetings.

The Wishing Well had already closed when we moved to Worlaby in 2004 so I didn’t get to visit. Then it was sadly demolished later that year.

Thanks to Jean Smithson and Jeff Rowson for sharing the information and memories about this lovely pub.

22nd June-22nd July: cAncer – A mutAble WAter Sign Symbol: the Crab. Planetary ruler: the Moon Birthstone: the pearl

Cancerians are water people and by this I don’t mean they like to swim! They are extraordinarily sensitive, highly intuitive with vivid imaginations which can cause them to worry unnecessarily. At heart Cancerians are very shy, hiding behind the strong defences they have built in order to protect themselves emotionally. While presenting a tough exterior to the world, they are actually easily hurt, which can show itself as moodiness.

Cancer is the sign associated with the homemaker; they are family minded with well-developed protective instincts and will defend their young with tenacity. However, despite being quite cautious by nature, prioritising strong foundations and security for the family, Cancerians also have a shrewd business sense and a knack of making money.

The importance of past associations can lead them to hoard everything – even what others would call junk! While they often look to the past for inspiration, they can find it hard to let go, clinging on too long to both people and situations which may be crying out for change.

Family and friends often benefit from the delightfully sentimental side of the Cancerian as it leads them to seek out beautiful birthday cards or inventive presents for loved ones. Tamaris

Worlaby Street Sports (Worlaby Crew)The first meeting for young people aged 11 to 6 years who are interested in regular evenings of sporting activities was held on Thursday May 17th at 6pm. We will continue fortnightly at the recreation ground.

In order to get the word out, we dispatched over 100 flyers to Brigg senior schools. The first evening a dozen youngsters turned up and enjoyed a lively five a side, hockey and dodge ball. Everyone had a great time, thanks to Rob, Carl and Conrad but the kids did run rings around you guys!

We have had a couple of evenings so far and they have been really fun – even I was mustered for netball on one occasion. Across the field I noticed that they had even persuaded Sheridan to go outside – although I have to say he did a lot of standing around in goal...

We have decided on the name Worlaby Crew for the youth club which will start in September. This will give us some time in which to raise funds for equipment and organise activities. The youngsters have lots of ideas about the sort of club they would like and what they are interested in. But we do need to do lots of fundraising as all we have at the moment is our enthusiasm. A big thank you however to the Parish Council who gave us a grant towards covering the cost of our insurances, and also to the Recreation Committee who give their full support and help wherever possible. In the meantime Conrad and Joshua are taking part in a 10k in July and will be looking for sponsors – we hope to raise enough to buy a snooker or tennis table for the club.

Please do come along and join us on Thursday evenings, this is your club and we all have a great time. Dates in July to remember are 7th and 21st at 6 to 7.30pm at the recreation ground.

See you there!

Worlaby Children’s WorkshopsOrganised by STAR-T, an organisation based at the Rope Walk, these workshops are held at the Village Hall for children between the ages of 5 and 13 years. So far the children have made their very own magic maze, and most recently have had a hugely enjoyable time constructing their own versions of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Castle from clay.

Following on from the success of these half term activities, art and craft workshops for 8-13 year olds are being held at the village hall in August. The artist led workshops, part of the ST-ART programme cost just £1 per child. Under 8’s must be accompanied by an adult. For details call Pauline on 618900 or see the notice boards around the village. Pupils at Worlaby School will be given a leaflet in their book bag later in the term.
