CAMILLE has taken over the helm at the Yorkshire Mobility shop at New Road, Hedon. She intends to build on the good work started by previous incumbant Cheryl who has moved to the seaside at Hornsea to work at the companys store at the Freeport.

Camille (43) will already be quite well known to local health-conscious shoppers in Hedon and district having previously worked at one of the local pharmacies for 8 years. So shes already quite used to dealing with people - particularly those with medical conditions that debilitate - who want to make informed choices about daily living aids and about products that can help make life more comfortable

and contribute towards maintaining independent living.

Yorkshire Mobility to the uninitiated might be seen as all about mobility scooters - and indeed they have an impressive range - but in actual fact they sell a whole range of

products aimed at making everyday living activity easier. From medical cushions to grab rails, from walking sticks to wheelchairs Yorkshire Mobility has the

lot! Were quite a small shop, says Camille but we have a wide stock range. If we dont have what you need here, then we can get it for you.

The Yorkshire Mobility Catalogue lists over 600 products available.

Living in Hedon herself for the last 16 years, Camille is keen to see Yorkshire Mobility become part of the vibrant local community. Were quite happy to get involved in the local community and support craft shows and charity events. We can set up a stall of our products - and as ever we would be available to offer advice to those seeking it.

Help, support and advice seems to be available in abundance at the shop; during the course of the interview with Camille one caller wanted some

informal help with a medical bed purchased from elsewhere, another had asked for some p e r s o n a l i s e d stickers - all jobs which dont form part of the official job description but seems to have become the norm for someone who genuinely cares

about providing a quality service to customers.

As part of promoting HedFest I tell Camille about the Hedon Carnival which is likely to include a contingent of decorated bicycles - I cheekily suggest that mobility scooters could be decorated in the same way. Shes taken aback at first by the suggestion, but then theres a twinkling in the eyes....

Well see what becomes of this germ of an idea!

From Shed to MuseumExperience the talents of Alison and Tony Grant, the craft couple behind the From the Garden Shed exhibition at the Hedon Museum. Both have their own unique skills, requiring their own work spaces.

While Tony has always worked in his shed, Alison had kept her equipment in the house. Whenever she turned her attention to silk painting shed have to shut down the kitchen, and it wasnt long before shed accumulated more fabrics, beads and equipment than she had room to keep them.

This was when Alison decided shed need her own heated, organised and cosy shed. too!

Alison had always enjoyed sewing, ever since learning to make table mats in junior school. It wasnt long before she was making her own clothes, once even taking on the task of transforming a wedding dress into a christening dress. Today Alison makes beautiful and exquisitely soft scarves from pressed wool and hand painted silk, as well as pressed

felt bowls and other curiosities.Tony also learned his craft at school in woodwork class, and never let it go to waste, continuing to make cupboards

and cabinets. These days however his focus is upon making unique walking sticks from wood, antlers and all sorts of interesting materials, and stunning Celtic love spoons.

Tony and Alison share an interest in the ancient Welsh tradition of the love spoons. One Valentines Day, they decided the celebration had become too commercialised, and thought it would be more romantic to try to make personalised gifts, which must cost absolutely nothing. Tonys answer to this was his very first love spoon, beautiful and with an elegant Celtic design. Every year since has seen another created in honour of Valentines Day.

Lots of the unique items created by Tony and Alison for the exhibition are for sale. Come and see their work for yourself at Hedon Museum.

Additionally, every week Tony and Alison will be demonstrating their skills to visitors.Exhibition runs until Saturday 20th June. Hedon Museum is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

LYNNE MCDONALD from Australia is researching the history of the Dring family.

Eight generations of the family in Australia were descended from their ancestor William Dring, who was convicted of a crime in 1784 and later transported to Botany Bay to serve seven years. William was from Hedon and was one of Australias First Fleeters having arrived in Sydney Cove with the First Fleet on 26th January 1788.

Lynne tells the tale: There was a Dring family in Hedon in the 17th and 18th centuries and one William Dring was arrested and pleaded guilty to stealing clothes, books and brandy on the 7th October 1784 and was sentenced to 7 years transportation to Botany Bay. He now has 8 generations of descendants in Australia.

I have found out a lot about his family in Hedon.

His Great Grandfather Francis Dring was a shoe maker; his Grandfather Thomas was a weaver and later owned the New Sun Inn; His father was a Clerk of Customs and apparently ran the customs office from the Inn and he was a Tideswaiter.

I would love to know more about the story of the theft in which he had an accomplice Joseph Robinson. If anyone knows anything about this I would love to hear from them on the email below as I am writing a book about William but rather than use my imagination as to why he stole what he did I would like some true facts if at all possible.

I am very curious as to why when he had a job and family support he would steal anything. All I can come up with is that he wanted to become a Sailor as the clothes he stole were Sailors attire and the books were about being a Sailor and how to navigate and a guide to Oxford University. Of course there were 6 bottles of brandy and 3 empty bottles as well. We know why he stole these as there were obviously 9 full bottles to begin with!

It would be so much fun and very helpful if anyone knows anything about him and his family. I would also love to know if there are still Drings living in Hedon.

If anyone can help Lynne with her research then she can be e-mailed at lynne.ross@ihug.com.au

L E T S G O R A C I N G !RACE NIGHT AT PAULL VILLAGE HALL

Friday 26th June 7pmA fun Race Night takes place on Friday 26th June with eight races taking place. Each filmed race is individually boxed and sealed so nobody knows beforehand which horses will win.

Just like the real races you decide which horses you would like to bet on (there are eight in each race) and then go to the Tote desk to place your bets. If your horse wins you wait for the official result and then collect your winnings. The amount paid out depends on the total amount staked and the number of winning tickets in each race.

Veterans of Race Nights will know that the Race Organiser and Master of Ceremonies are usually the worst joke tellers in the world! But if youre new to Race Nights dont let that put you off - they are great fun. And of course the Village Hall bar will be open for you to spend your winnings!

THE COUNCILLOR SPOT - Keeping an eye on issues in South West Holderness:We are giving a monthly spot in the Herald to our three Ward Councillors who represent South West Holderness on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. This will be an opportunity for them to comment on local issues and to circulate their details so local people can contact them if needing council assistance or advice.

First up is Councillor John Dennis who has some good news about climbing up the council ladder, whilst giving us an insight into the role and work involved in being a councillor:

Having just been successfully re-elected to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, (and to Hedon Town Council too), I wish, firstly, to say a sincere thank you to the army of willing volunteers who footslogged their way round the roads and lanes of the South West Holderness Ward, delivering the many thousands of leaflets to the electorate. Without their help, the outcome of the election may well have been different.

Also I would wish to congratulate our opponents for the friendly (ish !!) way they ran their campaigns too. It was a good clean fight! We will no doubt hear from them all again next time round. Commiserations to them all, and Im sure well still be buying each other the odd beer in the Legion!

I am now working with my fellow Conservative Ward Members, Mike Bryan who also got re-elected, and Sue Steel, - elected for the first time - to put together a medium term plan, to enable us to become an effective team that is fit and ready to undertake the many and varied tasks that will come our way over the next four years.

The role of Ward Member of the Local Authority requires us to put many, many hours into our committee work, our ward work, street surgeries etc., and, very importantly, and no-one realises this, the many training courses we need to attend, which to be honest are so important if we are to be competent councillors.

For my sins I have been appointed as member of two separate Licensing Committees at County Hall - one for licensed premises, sex-shops etc, the other to do with general licensing eg taxis, kennels, scrap yards etc - and also I will be on the dreaded, Standards Committee, which is one that other members usually dont want to be dragged in front of!

I was also surprised, and pleased to have also been given the position of Chair of Overview and Scrutiny Review Panels, which is for me quite a step-up, as it is a very high-profile job. A number of Review Panels are created each year to look in depth into various aspects of the Councils responsibilitiesDaunting perhaps, but, knowing we have excellent support staff to see us through the process, Im sure it will all be alright on the night!

Finally, as if there isnt enough to do, I was indeed very honoured on 21st April to have been elected to the position of Vice Chairman of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which means - so long as I dont blot my copy book - perhaps becoming the Chair for 2016/17. After only four years as a Councillor, Im very proud to have been nominated for the Vice Chairmanship by the Leader of the Council, Councillor Stephen Parnaby, with the full support of the Conservative Group members.

Best regards to all especially those who voted for me and my colleagues. I will certainly continue to stand up for the residents and communities of the South West Holderness Ward, on all issues that come our way. I will be working hard to ensure we get our share of whats going round, and that our neighbour to the west fails in its continuing attempts to take us over!

HEDONS set of historic hand bells are back home in the town after being restored by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London. The world-renowned foundry established in 1570 famously cast Londons Big Ben and the Liberty Bell for the United States and so the Hedons Hand Bell Group members are naturally delighted that the bells have now been returned in pristine condition from the acknowledged world leaders in bell production and restoration.

Hedons hand bells are believed to have been cast in 1847, but by 2013 were in urgent need of repair with some of the bells cracked and the leather handles deteriorating with age. Something had to be done if the bells were ever going to be played again and there was a real fear that the towns tradition of hand bell ringing would simply disappear.

With the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, a grant of 9,800 was obtained to supplement the groups own fundraising efforts and the bells were sent away to the Whitechapel foundry for a complete overhaul and were finally returned earlier this

year. Rumour has it that we may get the first public performance of the Hedon Hand Bells group with their new bells during HedFest in August?

hu12.net 11June 2015 www.South Holderness Cricket Club. Monthly Match Previews for the 2015 Season.

A mouth watering local derby is in prospect (writes Malc Ripley) when the South Holderness first team make the short trip to Back Lane on 30th May (most readers will hopefully have got their Herald in time for this) to lock horns with Humbleton CC, where if the weather remains fair, veteran and the very long serving Harry Jacksons normally firm track on a bed of good Yorkshire clay, should produce a glut of runs. Stars of the 2014 summer for the home side were all rounder Jordan Caley who clattered an aggregate of 362 as well as producing the goods with his valuable haul of 27 wickets, whereas new Skipper Tom Peyman also ended a fine season with 310 runs under his belt. The duo come up against the Hedon sides top scorer ( 428 last term) in another all rounder and one man Club Rich Rosindale who has in excess of 25 years with the Club. Captain rich Ingram added 363 a year ago to his tally, whilst newcomer last year Stewart Towse took 15 wickets and his brother Adam finished with some 340 runs. It all points to being an intriguing match.On the same day, the An Xl entertain Hull Ionians Coal Exporters second string from Brantingham Park at Middle Lane, SHCC Chairman and Wicket-keeper Gary Chapman had 259 runs in his last campaign aided by new skipper, this time, Andy Berry

with 27 wickets whereas former Humbleton player Ian Harrison returned 15 wickets. The 133 year old Club will break new ground on Saturday 6th June with their first ever visit to Hedon (unless anyone knows better that is?) as Holderness act as hosts to the promoted North Dalton CC, but the Hedon based teams all round strength and experience could prove to be enough in what is expected to be a keenly fought affair. A week later, a greater challenge probably awaits the seniors with their trip to Norwood Park on the back pitch where Beverley Town CC III have ground advantage, the game could go in favour of the home team, unless the Hedon side are on their metal, on a pitch that occasionally favours the bowlers. With their first team promoted this time, Holderness will play the Sutton-on-Hull CC second team this season, therefore the hosts possibly should have the measure of their opposition in this respect, especially as they will enjoy ground advantage, regardless, the outcome will never be a formal conclusion as it has been said countless times that Cricket is a funny old game! In an eight day turn around, the An Xl will twice meet up with Pelican CC , the pair of teams ought to quickly get to know one and other, together with their strengths and weaknesses, a win apiece beckons here. On the 4th of July, the An Xl are without a fixture, albeit the seniors are due to entertain Hessle CC, for the visitors Gaz Nicholls totalled 458 runs last summer, whilst team mate Luke Picken turned in useful spells to finish with 29 victims, the home side will be wary of these two opponents in this interesting battle.

By Malc Ripley

AT 77 years young, Umpire Malc Ripley is the longest serving cricket official within Yorkshires cricket officialdom! And now into his 54th season hes probably forgotten more about cricket than the rest of us will ever know! Passionate about the game generally - and affectionately known to me as Mr Cricket -

Malc is particularly an advocate for those who officiate at games, yet incredibly he never wanted to be an umpire!Already having played school cricket at 13, he was regularly playing for South Holderness Cricket Club (SHCC) having left school, but for reasons he doesnt still agree with or understand today, he was

suddenly dropped by the Hedon based club at the age of 24 and told he couldnt play. But coincidentally at the very next game when he should have been playing, the match was in jeopardy for the lack of an official. Malc was encouraged by his team mates to stand in. He initially refused saying he wanted to play instead, but eventually agreed. He officiated in his first match on a temporary basis to fill in for another poorly chap, but that soon turned into two weekends, then three and then more. That initial nonchalance has now been replaced by a real enthusiasm for his role as umpire, a role that has brought him so much pleasure and resulted in him making so many friends.Cricket of course is no short game. In order to take part it eats into a slice of your life particularly at weekends, leaving home early morning and not getting back until late at night. Malc tells me that during the 2014 season he officiated at 19 matches clocking up a remarkable 1,173 travel miles!

As somebody who cares about cricket he does worry about the future of the game. Hes noted the loss of over 124 clubs over the last decade, and he thinks that the time commitments needed to play cricket means the sport is losing out to fixed length leisiure activities like football and rugby. We conjecture whether cricket would benefit from more role-models and/or celebrities that could promote the game and encourage more people to play or become officials. This prompts Malc to consider those who inspired him: His dad Arthur who also played for SHCC (but only one season at the same time as Malc); and his sports master Dougie Beal

who gave up his own S a t u r d a y s v o lu nt ar i l y to coach his charges in football during the winter and cricket during the summer. Lots of us

at Withernsea High School

owe a debt of gratitude to Dougie, says Malc, particularly for instilling in us the need to uphold the spirit of the game - and not to show dissent to umpires! he throws in at the end.In his cricket career Malc has written about cricket for many local newspapers - mostly in the days before computers when reports and results had to be written long-hand, put into envelopes and physically posted to the newsdesks! The Herald is really delighted and privileged to get these regular prieviews from Malc Ripley, so thank you Malc (and theres more from him at HU12 Online).

PEOPLE are being urged to make their elderly relatives and neighbours aware of a national scam where criminals are pretending to be bogus police officers in order to steal from some of the most vulnerable people in society.

Humberside Police force has received a large number of reports of mostly elderly people being scammed by an unknown person purporting to be a police officer.

During the call the offender said the victims had been a victim of fraud and to contact their bank, giving them a number to ring to do so. When the victim has called the bank (using the provided number) they have asked for the victims card details and personal data. The victim then receives a further call from the bogus police officer suggesting they transfer their money to a police security account, something the police would never do.

A large number of these victims have become suspicious and called the police, but unfortunately others have lost large sums of money.

Following the incidents police are urging members of the public never to give out bank or personal details to strangers over the phone, never hand over money or transfer funds to unknown accounts.

Marc Dias, Humberside Police Crime Reduction Officer said: We are continuing to receive reports of vulnerable elderly people becoming victims of this scam, which has left them distraught after losing large sums of money. To tackle this I urge everyone to speak to their elderly family and friends about the scam and the steps to avoid falling foul of the offenders. By doing so hopefully we can protect people from becoming the next victims of these unscrupulous criminals.

If people are called as part of this scam they should where possible make a note of key details of the call before calling Humberside Police on 101.

If a stranger came up to you in the street and asked for your bank details, you wouldnt give them away would you. So dont give away those details to

strangers on the phone either!
