I t has been some time now since the Vi l lage Welcome Leaflet was updated in view of this I am hoping to br ing i t up to date w ith YOUR help which is ver y impor tant in keeping i t going

The aim of the leaf let is to welcome newcomers to the vi l lage and to give them some know ledge of the di f ferent activi ties in Huby amp sur rounding areas that are avai lable to them

The best way for ward would be for people to let me know of any clubs groups etc you run or attend Telephone numbers and emai l addresses are essential for contact

There are some key people who deliver the leaf let when a new family move into the vi l lage but there is a need for one or two more in Shaw Crescent and Easingwold Road I t gives someone the oppor tuni ty to introduce themselves which means newcomers have had personal contact w ith at least one person from the vi l lage

Please contact me as soon as possible

Thank you

Huby Review Huby Pantomime 2015 PUSS IN BOOTS

The 71st Huby Pantomime pi tched i ts audience into the chaotic vibrance of the vi l lage of Dingley Dell distr ict of the inimitable Nurse Dora Dettol for a no-jokes-bar red blast of madness magic and magnif icence Li terar y pur ists may think invoking the name of Dingley Dell - setting for many a mis-adventure in Dickens comic masterpiece The Pickw ick Papers - as the setting for a local vi l lage pantomime was somewhat sacr i legious but wow did this show l ive up to the spir i t of that hal lowed setting

In a sizzl ing exhibi tion of comic pace the audience were tr eated to a show that could not be descr ibed as a laugh-a-minute this show was more of an endless two hour guffaw Saturday nights closing per formance managed to be endlessly hi lar ious w ithout ever str aying into the self-indulgence character istic of last nightpanto shows In fact the audience were embraced as an integral par t of the evening this felt less l ike a show and more l ike a fancy dress par ty to which ever yone in the room was welcomed

This atmosphere was created by a cast who were enti r ely committed to ever y moment of the play fol low ing the exper t guidance of dir ector Sandie Tanner -Smith No moment was neglected - this was clear ly an al l ki l ler no f i l ler approach to panto dir ecting so that the larger than l i fe per formances of the pr inciples were sti tched together by some excellent work from the cast as a whole Li ttered between the main jokes and major gags were some smaller moments of br i l l iance from the younger members of the cast the wonder ful ly subtle slapstick of Dylan Jennisons Mr Chippendale (The Chairman) and the br i l l iant physical i ty of Bradley Moores narcoleptic Mr Testament as well as some stand out singing and umbrella work from Caitlen Moore as Miss Adventure The dynamic of the cast as a whole worked

br i l l iantly given the w ide and var ied ages and exper ience levels of those under the l ights though even this i tself was made to work in the show s favour I t was a joy to see a blend of young yet exper ienced per formers suppor ting not so young enthusiasts who fancied a go and l ikew ise how the old hands suppor ted the young l i ttle f ingersUnsurpr isingly strong multi -discipl inar y per formances from the young yet exper ienced Fiona Phi l l ips dashing Stephen and Poppy Moore blushing Pr incess Angelina underpinned the show excellently providing a sol id foundation for the unpredictable tomfooler y of Jack Hawkers Sebastian (who fought a del ightful battle to tr y and steal the show w ith Amanda Moores unquenchable cougar Valderma) and the bl ind (and deaf ) hi lar i ty of King Seni l i ty and Queen Euthanasia played by Dudley Valentine and Karen Adams The exception was Rob Thompson who was ter r ible Really r eal ly bad Hor r ible Really hor r ible I mean being the bad-guy is one thing but being the monster as well Thats a whole lot of hor r ible for one man to deliver in one night but stalwar t Rob was br i l l iant as ever in his roles as meanie Si las Mi l lstone and Giant Blunderbore two bad jobs well done

This talented cast were of course suppor ted by some tr ue graft from the w ider production team Whi lst the delightful ly giggly Fair y Good (Lyndsey Magi l l) did provide the character s w ith some interesting disguises by way of her wand at one point in the show i t was clear that there were a dedicated team of fair ies behind her magic Put qui te simply the costumes and sets which blur r ed the l ines between the r eal i ty of the vi l lage hall and the sur reali ty of the castles and greens of Dingley Dell (co-ordinated and crafted by Paula Howell Belinda Channing and Lynne Gray amongst many other w i l l ing hands) were above and beyond what one should expect from a humble vi l lage panto and a credi t to the enti r e team that mounted this show

But this was no humble vi l lage panto This is the longest r unning vi l lage pantomime in Yorkshir e This was a vi l lage panto that could have decided to simply sing a few well know n songs to ki l l t ime in between scenes but instead rol led out ful l numbers in musical theatre style (stand out being the theme from Disneys The Ar istocats choreographed by Vicky Abiss and led by Eleanor Wilsons wonder ful ly fel ine Tom the Cat) This was a panto which could have been content to have i ts Giant as an off-stage roar but instead delivered an (admittedly alr eady qui te tal l) actor in a huge papier mache head onto an oversized set of a Giants castle This was a vi l lage panto that put Paul Moore on stage as i ts Dame

That this was Pauls f i r st turn as Dame was unbelieveable From shameless ter r ible joke to casual hi lar ious ad l ib Paul was magnif icent I shall r efr ain from making the obvious compar ison w ith Yorkshir es most famed Dame in the interests of good spir i t but what I shall say is that I saw Yorkshir es most famed Dame in panto this year and he did not make me laugh as much as Paul Moore did in Saturdays closing per formance at Huby I shall also give Yorkshir es most famed Dame the benefi t of the doubt as he does not have a hometow n audience in ever y night and half of his extended family in the cast () but the plain desir e to give the room a damn good night bur st through the seams of al l seven of Dora Dettols frocks w ith ever y fr enetic gurn grope and giggle and i t was wonder ful

This was the over r iding sentiment w ith which I left the vi l lage hall The show was attended by Dames and costumier s of f i f ty years passed baddies of r ecent times and baddies of not so r ecent times die-hard attendees of the vi l lage panto and those who never knew the thing existed those from the vi l lage along w ith those from vi l lages and ci ties fur ther af ield and yet what was shared by al l was the desir e for a damn good giggle Well the 71st Huby Pantomime cer tainly gave them that

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

Huby Review Huby Pantomime 2015 PUSS IN BOOTS

The 71st Huby Pantomime pi tched i ts audience into the chaotic vibrance of the vi l lage of Dingley Dell distr ict of the inimitable Nurse Dora Dettol for a no-jokes-bar red blast of madness magic and magnif icence Li terar y pur ists may think invoking the name of Dingley Dell - setting for many a mis-adventure in Dickens comic masterpiece The Pickw ick Papers - as the setting for a local vi l lage pantomime was somewhat sacr i legious but wow did this show l ive up to the spir i t of that hal lowed setting

In a sizzl ing exhibi tion of comic pace the audience were tr eated to a show that could not be descr ibed as a laugh-a-minute this show was more of an endless two hour guffaw Saturday nights closing per formance managed to be endlessly hi lar ious w ithout ever str aying into the self-indulgence character istic of last nightpanto shows In fact the audience were embraced as an integral par t of the evening this felt less l ike a show and more l ike a fancy dress par ty to which ever yone in the room was welcomed

This atmosphere was created by a cast who were enti r ely committed to ever y moment of the play fol low ing the exper t guidance of dir ector Sandie Tanner -Smith No moment was neglected - this was clear ly an al l ki l ler no f i l ler approach to panto dir ecting so that the larger than l i fe per formances of the pr inciples were sti tched together by some excellent work from the cast as a whole Li ttered between the main jokes and major gags were some smaller moments of br i l l iance from the younger members of the cast the wonder ful ly subtle slapstick of Dylan Jennisons Mr Chippendale (The Chairman) and the br i l l iant physical i ty of Bradley Moores narcoleptic Mr Testament as well as some stand out singing and umbrella work from Caitlen Moore as Miss Adventure The dynamic of the cast as a whole worked

br i l l iantly given the w ide and var ied ages and exper ience levels of those under the l ights though even this i tself was made to work in the show s favour I t was a joy to see a blend of young yet exper ienced per formers suppor ting not so young enthusiasts who fancied a go and l ikew ise how the old hands suppor ted the young l i ttle f ingersUnsurpr isingly strong multi -discipl inar y per formances from the young yet exper ienced Fiona Phi l l ips dashing Stephen and Poppy Moore blushing Pr incess Angelina underpinned the show excellently providing a sol id foundation for the unpredictable tomfooler y of Jack Hawkers Sebastian (who fought a del ightful battle to tr y and steal the show w ith Amanda Moores unquenchable cougar Valderma) and the bl ind (and deaf ) hi lar i ty of King Seni l i ty and Queen Euthanasia played by Dudley Valentine and Karen Adams The exception was Rob Thompson who was ter r ible Really r eal ly bad Hor r ible Really hor r ible I mean being the bad-guy is one thing but being the monster as well Thats a whole lot of hor r ible for one man to deliver in one night but stalwar t Rob was br i l l iant as ever in his roles as meanie Si las Mi l lstone and Giant Blunderbore two bad jobs well done

This talented cast were of course suppor ted by some tr ue graft from the w ider production team Whi lst the delightful ly giggly Fair y Good (Lyndsey Magi l l) did provide the character s w ith some interesting disguises by way of her wand at one point in the show i t was clear that there were a dedicated team of fair ies behind her magic Put qui te simply the costumes and sets which blur r ed the l ines between the r eal i ty of the vi l lage hall and the sur reali ty of the castles and greens of Dingley Dell (co-ordinated and crafted by Paula Howell Belinda Channing and Lynne Gray amongst many other w i l l ing hands) were above and beyond what one should expect from a humble vi l lage panto and a credi t to the enti r e team that mounted this show

But this was no humble vi l lage panto This is the longest r unning vi l lage pantomime in Yorkshir e This was a vi l lage panto that could have decided to simply sing a few well know n songs to ki l l t ime in between scenes but instead rol led out ful l numbers in musical theatre style (stand out being the theme from Disneys The Ar istocats choreographed by Vicky Abiss and led by Eleanor Wilsons wonder ful ly fel ine Tom the Cat) This was a panto which could have been content to have i ts Giant as an off-stage roar but instead delivered an (admittedly alr eady qui te tal l) actor in a huge papier mache head onto an oversized set of a Giants castle This was a vi l lage panto that put Paul Moore on stage as i ts Dame

That this was Pauls f i r st turn as Dame was unbelieveable From shameless ter r ible joke to casual hi lar ious ad l ib Paul was magnif icent I shall r efr ain from making the obvious compar ison w ith Yorkshir es most famed Dame in the interests of good spir i t but what I shall say is that I saw Yorkshir es most famed Dame in panto this year and he did not make me laugh as much as Paul Moore did in Saturdays closing per formance at Huby I shall also give Yorkshir es most famed Dame the benefi t of the doubt as he does not have a hometow n audience in ever y night and half of his extended family in the cast () but the plain desir e to give the room a damn good night bur st through the seams of al l seven of Dora Dettols frocks w ith ever y fr enetic gurn grope and giggle and i t was wonder ful

This was the over r iding sentiment w ith which I left the vi l lage hall The show was attended by Dames and costumier s of f i f ty years passed baddies of r ecent times and baddies of not so r ecent times die-hard attendees of the vi l lage panto and those who never knew the thing existed those from the vi l lage along w ith those from vi l lages and ci ties fur ther af ield and yet what was shared by al l was the desir e for a damn good giggle Well the 71st Huby Pantomime cer tainly gave them that

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

Huby Review Huby Pantomime 2015 PUSS IN BOOTS

The 71st Huby Pantomime pi tched i ts audience into the chaotic vibrance of the vi l lage of Dingley Dell distr ict of the inimitable Nurse Dora Dettol for a no-jokes-bar red blast of madness magic and magnif icence Li terar y pur ists may think invoking the name of Dingley Dell - setting for many a mis-adventure in Dickens comic masterpiece The Pickw ick Papers - as the setting for a local vi l lage pantomime was somewhat sacr i legious but wow did this show l ive up to the spir i t of that hal lowed setting

In a sizzl ing exhibi tion of comic pace the audience were tr eated to a show that could not be descr ibed as a laugh-a-minute this show was more of an endless two hour guffaw Saturday nights closing per formance managed to be endlessly hi lar ious w ithout ever str aying into the self-indulgence character istic of last nightpanto shows In fact the audience were embraced as an integral par t of the evening this felt less l ike a show and more l ike a fancy dress par ty to which ever yone in the room was welcomed

This atmosphere was created by a cast who were enti r ely committed to ever y moment of the play fol low ing the exper t guidance of dir ector Sandie Tanner -Smith No moment was neglected - this was clear ly an al l ki l ler no f i l ler approach to panto dir ecting so that the larger than l i fe per formances of the pr inciples were sti tched together by some excellent work from the cast as a whole Li ttered between the main jokes and major gags were some smaller moments of br i l l iance from the younger members of the cast the wonder ful ly subtle slapstick of Dylan Jennisons Mr Chippendale (The Chairman) and the br i l l iant physical i ty of Bradley Moores narcoleptic Mr Testament as well as some stand out singing and umbrella work from Caitlen Moore as Miss Adventure The dynamic of the cast as a whole worked

br i l l iantly given the w ide and var ied ages and exper ience levels of those under the l ights though even this i tself was made to work in the show s favour I t was a joy to see a blend of young yet exper ienced per formers suppor ting not so young enthusiasts who fancied a go and l ikew ise how the old hands suppor ted the young l i ttle f ingersUnsurpr isingly strong multi -discipl inar y per formances from the young yet exper ienced Fiona Phi l l ips dashing Stephen and Poppy Moore blushing Pr incess Angelina underpinned the show excellently providing a sol id foundation for the unpredictable tomfooler y of Jack Hawkers Sebastian (who fought a del ightful battle to tr y and steal the show w ith Amanda Moores unquenchable cougar Valderma) and the bl ind (and deaf ) hi lar i ty of King Seni l i ty and Queen Euthanasia played by Dudley Valentine and Karen Adams The exception was Rob Thompson who was ter r ible Really r eal ly bad Hor r ible Really hor r ible I mean being the bad-guy is one thing but being the monster as well Thats a whole lot of hor r ible for one man to deliver in one night but stalwar t Rob was br i l l iant as ever in his roles as meanie Si las Mi l lstone and Giant Blunderbore two bad jobs well done

This talented cast were of course suppor ted by some tr ue graft from the w ider production team Whi lst the delightful ly giggly Fair y Good (Lyndsey Magi l l) did provide the character s w ith some interesting disguises by way of her wand at one point in the show i t was clear that there were a dedicated team of fair ies behind her magic Put qui te simply the costumes and sets which blur r ed the l ines between the r eal i ty of the vi l lage hall and the sur reali ty of the castles and greens of Dingley Dell (co-ordinated and crafted by Paula Howell Belinda Channing and Lynne Gray amongst many other w i l l ing hands) were above and beyond what one should expect from a humble vi l lage panto and a credi t to the enti r e team that mounted this show

But this was no humble vi l lage panto This is the longest r unning vi l lage pantomime in Yorkshir e This was a vi l lage panto that could have decided to simply sing a few well know n songs to ki l l t ime in between scenes but instead rol led out ful l numbers in musical theatre style (stand out being the theme from Disneys The Ar istocats choreographed by Vicky Abiss and led by Eleanor Wilsons wonder ful ly fel ine Tom the Cat) This was a panto which could have been content to have i ts Giant as an off-stage roar but instead delivered an (admittedly alr eady qui te tal l) actor in a huge papier mache head onto an oversized set of a Giants castle This was a vi l lage panto that put Paul Moore on stage as i ts Dame

That this was Pauls f i r st turn as Dame was unbelieveable From shameless ter r ible joke to casual hi lar ious ad l ib Paul was magnif icent I shall r efr ain from making the obvious compar ison w ith Yorkshir es most famed Dame in the interests of good spir i t but what I shall say is that I saw Yorkshir es most famed Dame in panto this year and he did not make me laugh as much as Paul Moore did in Saturdays closing per formance at Huby I shall also give Yorkshir es most famed Dame the benefi t of the doubt as he does not have a hometow n audience in ever y night and half of his extended family in the cast () but the plain desir e to give the room a damn good night bur st through the seams of al l seven of Dora Dettols frocks w ith ever y fr enetic gurn grope and giggle and i t was wonder ful

This was the over r iding sentiment w ith which I left the vi l lage hall The show was attended by Dames and costumier s of f i f ty years passed baddies of r ecent times and baddies of not so r ecent times die-hard attendees of the vi l lage panto and those who never knew the thing existed those from the vi l lage along w ith those from vi l lages and ci ties fur ther af ield and yet what was shared by al l was the desir e for a damn good giggle Well the 71st Huby Pantomime cer tainly gave them that

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

That this was Pauls f i r st turn as Dame was unbelieveable From shameless ter r ible joke to casual hi lar ious ad l ib Paul was magnif icent I shall r efr ain from making the obvious compar ison w ith Yorkshir es most famed Dame in the interests of good spir i t but what I shall say is that I saw Yorkshir es most famed Dame in panto this year and he did not make me laugh as much as Paul Moore did in Saturdays closing per formance at Huby I shall also give Yorkshir es most famed Dame the benefi t of the doubt as he does not have a hometow n audience in ever y night and half of his extended family in the cast () but the plain desir e to give the room a damn good night bur st through the seams of al l seven of Dora Dettols frocks w ith ever y fr enetic gurn grope and giggle and i t was wonder ful

This was the over r iding sentiment w ith which I left the vi l lage hall The show was attended by Dames and costumier s of f i f ty years passed baddies of r ecent times and baddies of not so r ecent times die-hard attendees of the vi l lage panto and those who never knew the thing existed those from the vi l lage along w ith those from vi l lages and ci ties fur ther af ield and yet what was shared by al l was the desir e for a damn good giggle Well the 71st Huby Pantomime cer tainly gave them that

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

Cast your mind back to the halcyon summer of 2014

Two glorious days in June when the sun shone brightly for the Huby Feast celebrations and f locks of Harecrows

ran rampant in the vil lage

If you enjoyed the feast last year why not get involved in putting on this years event Any help you can offer will make a great deal of dif ference

Meetings are being held on the f irst Tuesdays of the month with details posted on the Huby Village Website and Facebook page

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

Cast your mind back to the halcyon summer of 2014

Two glorious days in June when the sun shone brightly for the Huby Feast celebrations and f locks of Harecrows

ran rampant in the vil lage

If you enjoyed the feast last year why not get involved in putting on this years event Any help you can offer will make a great deal of dif ference

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

Cast your mind back to the halcyon summer of 2014

Two glorious days in June when the sun shone brightly for the Huby Feast celebrations and f locks of Harecrows

ran rampant in the vil lage

If you enjoyed the feast last year why not get involved in putting on this years event Any help you can offer will make a great deal of dif ference

Meetings are being held on the f irst Tuesdays of the month with details posted on the Huby Village Website and Facebook page

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

Cast your mind back to the halcyon summer of 2014

Two glorious days in June when the sun shone brightly for the Huby Feast celebrations and f locks of Harecrows

ran rampant in the vil lage

If you enjoyed the feast last year why not get involved in putting on this years event Any help you can offer will make a great deal of dif ference

Meetings are being held on the f irst Tuesdays of the month with details posted on the Huby Village Website and Facebook page

Beaver Scouts In Huby

We have a very active and energetic group of Beaver Scouts in Huby Our children hail from Huby

Sutton-on-the-Forest Crayke Stil l ington Easingwold and Brandsby so we cover quite a large geographical area

Beaver Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting family Beavers are usually aged between six and eight years old though they can start with us from as young as f ive and three quarters A group of Beaver Scouts is called a Colony and each Colony is split up into smaller groups called Lodges At Huby we currently have three Lodges The Beavers have a Promise and Motto but there is not a Beaver Scout Law The concept of the Scout Law is represented to Beavers through games storytell ing and other activit ies

The activit ies at Beavers are based around making things outdoor activit ies singing playing games going out on visits investigating nature l istening to stories learning how to be safe and most importantly making new friends

Here in Huby we plan a balanced programme crammed with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activit ies including visit ing dif ferent places invit ing guests to teach and educate and both team and individual activit ies Each term programme is planned around achieving badges for activit ies something all the Beavers love to do as well as having lots and lots of fun Safety of the colony is a priority and the Beaver leaders are fully warranted by the Scouting organisation but when necessary we involve parents and both young and adult volunteers to ensure all activit ies are suff iciently supported

So far this year we have had a bril l iant presentation by a group of enthusiastic and dedicated Astronomers from the York Astrological Society an unprecedented event where a

room full of children sat stil l and attentive for an amazingly long period of t ime A follow-up visit to the Astrological Observatory for a more hands on session is currently being planned We will be going to an Easingwold District Campfire where we shall have an evening packed with games and marshmallow roasting with other colonies from Kyle Valley and Easingwold an ideal opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones A visit to RAF Linton where the Beavers get to see the Fire Engine in use and sit in a f ighter plane is an annual event and will be taking place during the late summer term We are arranging a day hike and picnic in April along with Easingwold colony and a Nights Away camping experience for some fun in tents (one night only as the leaders cant cope with the lack of sleep for longer)

We welcome all newcomers so please feel free to get in touch if you have a youngster aged between 5 frac34 and 8 we can guarantee fun for all and a hugely beneficial learning experience for them The Huby colony meets at the vil lage hall in Huby every Monday evening 615-715pm during term-time or other locations as the programme dictates

Scouting help needed

Since requesting help two months ago from the Moxby Moor community for a new Scout Group Secretary (via various communication means) a role that takes no more than a couple of hours a month I have

received no responses Zero zilch nothing resounding silence If you value having children in your community that have been Beavers Cubs andor Scouts with all of the adventure fun and team ethos that brings for them (and the benefits you derive as a community from that) please would you consider whether you could take on this (or another) small role to help our dedicated team deliver Scouting

Without volunteers Moxby Moor will lose Scouting as the Association demands a management structure to support the Group Please disseminate this more widely if you know someone that might be interested but is not on the internet regularly We need a new Secretary quickly and other roles will become vacant in the next couple of months

Thank you

Christmas Singalong on Saturday 20th December

The Huby Christmas Family Singalong once again took place in the Village Hall In previous years vil lagers gathered outside the hall to sing carols around the Christmas tree but weather conditions werent always good and so from 2012 the event has been held indoors

Music was provided by Dynamics Community Band some of whose members live in Huby and Sutton on the Forest while refreshments in the form of mince pies soft drinks and mulled wine were provided by the Parish Council We were also joined for the f irst t ime by Musicality a group of local a cappella (unaccompanied) singers who entertained us with some traditional Christmas pieces as well as more humourous and unusual songs These included an upbeat version of a Spanish lullaby a sad tale of The Goslings whose Christmas didnt end up quite as planned and f inishing with a delightful rendition of Goodnight SweetheartThe audiences singing of Christmas songs and carols was accompanied by Dynamics producing a wonderful combined sound and really embracing the communal spirit of Christmas The band also performed a selection of Christmas music which included some jazzed up well-known tunes Most memorable of these has to be a swing version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer which was sung with great enthusiasm by a group of children led by Angie Krausz

Our thanks go to members of the band who come to support us every year especially Helen Smith from Huby who has for many years been a part of the team who arrange this annual event Others who are always vital to the organisation are Elaine Corden Janet Haw and Elaine Hildrick who decorate the Village Hall and then keep everyone supplied with food and drink during the evening Thanks also go to Huby Parish Council who provide funding for the Singalong ensuring that it remains free for everyone

Over the years the number of people coming to the Singalong has increased beyond our expectations which has been wonderful and it s now an established event in the vil lage diary which we hope will continue for many years to come

The 2015 Singalong will be on Wednesday 23rd December at 700pm (funding permitting) so please make a note of the date in your diary now and join us in the Village Hall for another festive musical evening

June 21st 2015

Cast your mind back to the halcyon summer of 2014

Two glorious days in June when the sun shone brightly for the Huby Feast celebrations and f locks of Harecrows

ran rampant in the vil lage

If you enjoyed the feast last year why not get involved in putting on this years event Any help you can offer will make a great deal of dif ference

Meetings are being held on the f irst Tuesdays of the month with details posted on the Huby Village Website and Facebook page
