Spring Clean 2010

Yet again the Mytholmroyd Monsoon started just when we had arranged to do some station work.

Nevertheless, the station stalwarts were there in force – dozens of them filling dozens of sacks with the accumulated rubbish.

A good start for our preparations for Yorkshire in Bloom – not only at the station, but also the churches and ‘our’ Stuart and Brenda’ clearing the debris from under the viaduct.

Yorkshire in Bloom 2009 AND 2010

Despite a bit of weather to spoil all this Global warming, we are busy planning for a colourful 2010 season.

Not only will we, along with our neighbours around the station be welcoming the Yorkshire in Bloom judges, but are planning to start a Community Garden on the embankment.

Watch this space!

Along with with our neighbours,  the 2009  Yorkshire in Bloom award – judging was on

Tuesday 21 July In Pennine monsoon conditions!

Both station volunteers and our neighbours welcomed the judge,

Malcolm Sunderland over coffee and biscuits kindly provided by Fr John Gott.

Eh, we had a reet good do.

October 2nd the Yorks in Bloom Judge, Malcolm Sunderland joined us for lunch at the Church of the Good Shepherd through the hosptitality of Fr John and the donations from Lyn at the Shoulder of Mutton and Cllr Christine Bampton-Smith and her free-range hens.
