Improve your house lighting
"As the winter approaches, you can reduce the threat of burglary by installing passive infra-red lighting outside your home and using timer switches attached to lamps inside" is the message from Inspector Sue Sanderson from Ilkley Neighbourhood Police Team, "a home with lights on is a deterrent to thieves". |

Smiley face for drivers in Menston
 A new Speed Indicator Device has been kindly bought by Menston Parish Council for the use of the local police to use in our village. It is mobile and can be moved to suitable locations, where required. The device can be set at various speeds and gives a smiley face if the vehicle is driving under the limit. The local police will use it in conjunction with speedwatch and drivers over the limit will be sent letters advising them of their speed.

Menston Thespians next production will be a traditional pantomime in February 2012 - Cinderella. Casting has taken place and all Principals have been cast but chorus members are still required. A full cast meeting with the Director, Marjorie Inman and Musical Director, Arnold Boddy will take place on Tuesday 6th September 8pm in the Scout Hut. If you would like to be in the chorus please come along to this meeting and meet everyone. It would be helpful if you could let the Secretary, Sharon Howell know beforehand if you wish to be involved either by email
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
or by leaving a message on 01943 874284. We also need people willing to become involved back stage during the week of the show (12th - 18th Feb - actual performance dates 16th - 18th) for a variety of jobs in particular chaperoning our younger members. You will have to undergo a CRB check for this - this will not cost you anything if you live within the Bradford MDC area other than the time taken to complete all the forms but as we need 2 chaperones per performance the more we have the less of a burden it is on everyone. Please contact the Secretary for details. |

Kirklands Bridge Club in Menston
Kirklands Bridge Club is a rubber bridge club which has now been meeting at Kirklands on alternate Tuesday evenings for the past 35 years. So far as we are aware, it is the only rubber bridge club in quite a wide area, and as such is very popular with people who like a more social game than the slightly more competitive duplicate clubs.
If you would like to know more please contact either Dorrie Waugh on 01943 872771 or Carol Cowell on 0113 267 0426. |
