Swinton Parish Newsletter
The Steering Group which
was formed in September
2009 has spent much time
over the past few months
analysing the results of the
questionnaire which went out
to all residents just after
Christmas.
These results, together with
additional comments and
other articles of interest are
forming part of the Swinton
Village Plan which is currently
being compiled and will hope-
fully go to print by the end of
September.
This Plan is something which
all parishes have been asked
to do and can be used as a
tool to inform, campaign and
lobby for the services we need
in the village, as well as pro-
duce an Action Plan as to
how we will try to do this.
One of the main results from
the questionnaire was that
people would like more vil-
lage events and if the turnout
for the Treasure Hunt and
barbecue was anything to go
by, they will support them!
The Steering Group will be
planning an official launch of
this and there will be one
copy for every household in
the village which will be hand
delivered.

Saturday 10th July, a hot,
sunny day saw the official
opening of Swinton’s new
play area. This was the culmi-
nation of a period of fund
raising.
The opening ceremony was
performed by Mrs Sarah Jane
Voeleker whose grandfather
Clive Behrens of Swinton
Grange gave the piece of land
to the village on the under-
standing that it was to be used
as a playground. Mrs Voeleker
told the assembled villagers
how delighted she was to be
asked to perform the opening
ceremony and stated ― had my
grandfather been alive today
he would have been abso-
lutely delighted to see how
well the area had been main-
tained and what good use the
land had been put to‖.
Jessica Farrow presented Mrs
Voelleker with a bouquet of
flowers.
Once the ribbon had been
cut the children were enter-
tained by. Magic Mike, the
magician and his girls who did
face painting, and a bouncy
castle courtesy of Charlie
Farrow.
Matty Hood. York City junior
coach organized football
coaching and a world cup
penalty shoot out.
Prizes included tickets to see
York City.
Burgers and hot dogs were
provided by Bob Hornsey.
Thank you to everyone who
supported the project, to
those who helped on the day
and to the villagers who
turned out in such numbers.

Sewerage Overflowing Drains Its with great concern I write
to highlight the disgusting
sight of raw sewerage over-
flowing from a Manhole adja-
cent to Farrows Yard at the
Junction of West and East
Street on Saturday 7th August
2010.
On bringing this incident to
the attention of Yorkshire
water Board, I was surprised
to be told they had little
knowledge of any previous
events, though residents who

Health Issues. Dog fouling can cause many problems, the most serious of which is in-fection with Toxocara canis. This is a roundworm which can be transferred to humans following contact with dog mess. Symptoms are aches and pains, bronchial condi-tions and in more severe cases can lead to damage to eyesight
Today when I stepped outside
my door and walked down the
drive, I walked onto fresh dog
pooh. This is both disgusting
and a health hazard. Would
dog owners who take their
dogs for walks, Please be
responsible owners and clean
their dogs mess up.

Yorkshire Pudding
Eh waiter, excuse me a minute
I'm not finding' fault, but dear
me' taties is lovely and beef is
alreit But what sort of pudding
can this be? It's what? York-
shire Puddin'? Now cum cum
cum cum.It's Yorkshire Puddin'
yer say? I'll grant yer it's some
sort o' puddin', owd lad.But not
THE Yorkshire Puddin', nay,
nay. Now reit Yorkshire Pud-
din's a poem in batter, T'mek
it's an art, not a trade So just
listen t' me and I'll tell t' thee
How t' first Yorkshire puddin'
were made. A young angel wi
day off from 'eaven, Were flyin'
abaht Ilkla Moor, When t' angel,
poor thing, got cramp in a wing
An' cum down at an owd
women's door. T' owd woman
said "Eee - it's an angel. By
'eck, I'm fair capped to see
thee. I've noan seen yan afore
- but tha's welcome,
Come on in, an' I'll mash thi
some tea." T' angel said, "By
gum, thank you kindly."
Though she only supped one
mug o' tea, She et two drippin'
slices and one Sally Lunn.
Angel's eat very lightly yer
see.Then t'owd woman
looked at clock sayin' "Ey up,
t'owd feller's back soon from
t'mill. You gerron wi' yer tea,
but please excuse me, As I'll
atter mek puddin' fer Bill."
Then t' angel jumped up and
said gie us it 'ere, Flour, water,
eggs, salt an' all, An' I'll show
thee 'ow we meks puddins,
Up in 'eaven for Saints Peter
and Paul. So t' angel took
bowl and stuck a wing in,
Stirring it round, whispering
"Hush" An' she tenderly
ticked at t'mixture, Like an
artist ed paint wi a brush.
Then t'owd woman asked "
'ere wor is it then, T'secret o'
puddins made up above?"
"It's nowt i' flour or watta,
said t'angel, "Just mek sure
that tha meks it wi' luv."When
it were done , she popped it i'
t'oven, "Gie it nobbut ten
minutes", she said. Then off
t'angel flew, leavin' first York-
shire Puddin', That ivver were
properly med.An' that why it
melts in yer gob just like
snow. An' as light as a
maiden's first kiss, An' as soft
as the fluff on t'breast of a
puff,
displayed a streak of Dunkirk
sprit, with some making a
quick detour to their home to
change into dry clothing and
then complete the route.
At the Sports Centre a BBQ,
and other food had been pre-
pared for the participants.
The Sports Centre was also
available with the Bar open.
Whilst everyone was indulging
in Beef burgers and Sausages
and Sweets, John marked the
returned Clue Sheets.
The Winner was declared
after marking the answers and
time taken to complete the
course.

On a dry but overcast Saturday,
45 Adults and 32 Children set
off from the Blacksmiths Arms
on the Village Treasure Hunt.
The route and clues devised by
John led them around the vil-
lage Streets, the Bowling Green
and Play ground before the
final leg to the B.S.A Sports
Centre.
Even when the weather
changed to rain of Monsoon
proportions, the participants
to be self sufficient, any ex-
cess will be exported to the
National Grid. The design of
the Turbine allows it to run in
both high and low wind con-
ditions.
The 15 Kilowatt, Wind Tur-
bine will supply energy for the

Lane opposite the B.S.A Cen-
tre.
