TOT LORD TRAIL
There will be plenty of opportunity to find out more about one of the town’s most colourful citizens during the month as there will be four Tot Lord guided tours of Settle taking place every Thursday evening in August. Commencing at 6.00 outside the Town Hall, opposite Lambert’s. There is a charge £3.50 per person, with all proceeds going to the West African Famine Appeal.
SETTLE HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
Organisers for a reunion scheduled for students from Settle High School who were in the intake year 1958 and 1959 are seeking your help! The event is to take place at Settle Cricket Club on 29 September from 3pm onwards. A pie and pea meal is planned and the event will cost £5. However, at present the organisers have not managed to contact everyone and have a particular problem tracing some of the girls as many have married and so the surname has changed. They are appealing to anyone who may be in touch with any ex-students from these year groups – they might be family or friends who have moved out of the area – to pass the message on so that as many as possible can come along to the event. The people in question will now be in their sixties and it thought that those who moved away may still have other family members in the area or may be visiting the town over the summer. To find out more, pass on details or to reserve a place please contact 01729 822988 or 01535 692018.

SETTLE PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUP
2012 sees Settle Photographic Group mount its fourth Town Trail and Annual Exhibition. Members of the Group will be displaying the best of their pictures in Settle shops from 18th – 29th August and then in a St Alkelda’s Church, Giggleswick, from 1st – 9th September. The exhibition in the church will be open from 9-5.30 each day. As last year, there is no specific theme, which means that members can choose any subject – from leaping salmon to flowers to steam trains to mountains! The Group is very grateful to Settle shop and business owners and to St Alkelda’s Church for their cooperation in displaying the pictures. Something new this year will be a display of pictures from Banyuls PhotoClub, our twin town in south west France. The group meets on the third Monday of each month at 7.30pm at Town Head Court in Settle. Every month there is a photographic challenge when members have the chance to show two of the pictures they have taken that month on the chosen theme and to see what others have achieved. There is also either a visiting speaker or an in-house event to help members with their photography in some way – and these sessions help everyone whether they are beginners or very experienced photographers. Everyone is welcome whether a member or not. Find out more at http://www.settlephotos.org or from Rod Smith on 01729 860520 or Gill Pinkerton on 015242 41397.
