There are eight featured passengers in all – an amateur military historian and governess in First Class; a teacher in Second; a domestic servant and mother in Third; and three children. The book considers questions such as what were their earlier histories, their hopes and anxieties? Who survived, and why, and who perished? What happened to these people in the years after 1912? And what can we learn from their accounts? On the centenary of the sinking, it is the individual histories of twelve of the inhabitants of the small town that this book reconstructs.

The consequence of dying without a will

For some time we have been concerned that quite a lot of people have not created a Will.

If someone dies without a Will often this causes upset to the family which can be wholly avoidable.

To help and encourage people to prepare a Will we have created the following fact sheet, we hope you find it useful.

NOTES

Walks:

All walks start and finish at a station. Start times generally correspond with the arrival of a train from Leeds or Carlisle and may be subject to delay. The walk leader will meet you at the station. Walks marked (*t) start with a train ride, those marked (*b) include a bus ride. Finish times are approximate. Walkers are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the start and finish of each walk. All walks are free and do not require booking.

WALK GRADES:

Easy – Leisurely walks with regular stops for viewing & refreshment. Any climbs will be of modest gradient & length.

Moderate – These cater for the more experienced walkers. Expect a full day at a steady pace. You may well encounter steeper gradients & more difficult terrain.

Strenuous – A full day’s walk at a brisk pace, you probably will encounter steep slopes and difficult terrain. The walk may also include yomping and/or short scrambles. There could be time constraints.

The pace of the walk is appropriate to the distance and the available time. We ask that walkers accept the pace set. Anyone getting ahead of the leader may be deemed to have left the walk. Good footwear & adequate clothing (including waterproofs) are essential. Please carry enough food & drink for the day. The walk leader reserves the right to refuse participation to anyone who is judged to be not fit or adequately clothed or equipped for the walk concerned, and to vary the walk if conditions so dictate. Under 18 year olds to be accompanied by a responsible adult. Well behaved dogs on a lead only please.

Whilst walk leaders take every care, your comfort and safety are your own responsibility.

Settle – The Sustainable Town

settlecot — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 22:22:04 +0000

The first part of ‘Settle- The Sustainable Town’ has been completed

by CO2Sense on behalf of Settle and StART. (<– Click to open pdf )

This was funded by a LEAF Fund grant from the Energy Saving Trust and is one of several differing pieces of work that have been undertaken.

At 62 pages its quite comprehensive, so you may want to read it on screen rather than print it out! There will be a presentation of some of the key findings taking place in June (details in next Newsletter ).

Now we have this document we can use it as the basis to raising community finance and business equity ( not everything has to be a grant!) to undertake some other sustainable projects that we’d like to see happening in Settle.

If you’d like anymore details, or would like to be more involved as a volunteer, please email Ann Harding ann.harding3@btinternet.com who will be leading and managing the projects with CO2Sense.

There are eight featured passengers in all – an amateur military historian and governess in First Class; a teacher in Second; a domestic servant and mother in Third; and three children. The book considers questions such as what were their earlier histories, their hopes and anxieties? Who survived, and why, and who perished? What happened to these people in the years after 1912? And what can we learn from their accounts? On the centenary of the sinking, it is the individual histories of twelve of the inhabitants of the small town that this book reconstructs. The book employs the rigorous, sceptical approach of the social historian, while at the same time retaining the vividness of the eye-witness account.

Local Chef Stephanie Moon on Great British Menu

settlecot — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:07:49 +0000

Stephanie Moon is on The Great British menu on BBC2 all week this week.

She hails from Settle Area, and has been very supportive of Local Food Initiatives here over the years.

BBC2 – The Great British Menu

Great British Menu is back and the fight is on as some of the nation’s greatest chefs battle for the chance to cook a glittering Olympic banquet.

This summer, another chapter will be added to Britain’s sporting history when London hosts the summer Olympic Games. Great British Menu: The Olympic Feast will give the chefs a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a special banquet to celebrate the Games coming to our shores and showcase contemporary British cooking at its absolute best.

Hosted by Sir Steve Redgrave, the Olympic Feast will honour the hopes and achievements of the country’s sporting heroes, and it will be a glorious celebration of Britain’s culinary talents.

The chefs’ task is to create a menu that captures the Olympic spirit – food that is breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Every great Olympian pushes their discipline on to new levels of excellence and that is the challenge for the 2012 Great British Menu chefs – can they create world-class, groundbreaking food that will celebrate the Olympic ideal?

This week it’s the battle of the North East chefs – returning contender Stephanie Moon and newcomers Colin McGurran and Charlie Lakin. All of them are determined to knock out their rivals in the race to the banquet. Here, they kick things off with their starters; which one is going to be first off the blocks? Will it be Stephanie’s ‘get set’ goat’s cheese, Charlie’s wild rabbit with carrot and Douglas fir needles, or Colin’s ‘quail in the woods’?

Good Luck to her !!
