Heptonstall Village Team – New Format Art Club: Changing Faces
New Format Art Club: Changing Faces
We are pleased to announce a new collaboration with Heptonstall Junior and Infant School – our Art Classes will now involve both the younger and older generations of Heptonstall and beyond. A regular class will be held with the children at the school, with an alternating class being held in Mytholm Meadows, where our younger artists will come down to paint and craft alongside our older folks.
This will be a regular class, culminating in an art exhibition and film show at The Heptonstall Bowling and Social Club next year. Nick Wilding will be filming some of the process as well as showing his film of 8 year olds interviewing 80 year olds that he filmed in 2000.
If you would like more information or to get involved, contact Pauline Walker at Mytholm Meadows, on 01422 843194
Heptonstall Village Team – New Lunch Club
The Heptonstall Village Team and members of St Thomas’ Church have collaborated to apply for funding to kit out the new kitchen with catering equipment. This means that shortly after Christmas we’ll have another place to hold lunch club events for our older generations, as well as providing catering facilities to support other church events.
Our Lunch Clubs at The Towngate Tea Rooms and The Shoulder of Mutton in Mytholmroyd continue to prove popular, though we will be looking to see if the days need to be adjusted in the New Year.
These are currently the second Wednesday in the month for Towngate Tea Rooms (3pm) and the last Wednesday in the month for The Shoulder of Mutton in Mytholmroyd (12pm).
CROWS – Community Rights Of Way Service
HEPTONSTALL VOLUNTEERS WANTED
CROWS is a group of volunteers who maintain and improve the
Footpath network in the Upper Calder and Ryburne valleys. We clear vegetation, build stiles, gates and boardwalks, deal with drainage and way-mark routes. We also monitor and survey paths. We currently work on Wednesdays and Fridays from about 9.30-2.30 from our base in Mytholmroyd.
At the moment we are particularly short of people who can work on Fridays. In addition we have nobody from Heptonstall in the group, so we feel that we are missing some local knowledge.
Stella started working with CROWS earlier this year & says: “it’s great to have a regular date to work outdoors with a nice bunch of people who have local knowledge, experience & expertise to share. We get a lot done – you can see the fruits of your labours after each day which is very satisfying. And we are often working on a path I’ve never been on before, despite walking in this area for over 30 years.

HAVE YOUR SAY…
HAVE YOUR SAY…
Does the Civic Parish of Heptonstall need its community group?
Over the last 10 or so years Heptonstall Forward has been active on behalf of all Residents, putting forward and supporting their views when it has really mattered.
Whether it be planning issues or concerns over speed limits, establishing a newsletter or bulb planting, Heptonstall Forward has taken the Residents’ views forward and represented them at meetings, arranging emergency meetings if a situation demands this.
In May 2016 the members of Heptonstall Forward will be retiring, as their brief to produce and oversee the Community-led Parish Plan will be ending, this role being handed over to the Parish Council.
So is the community group now to fold?
OR should it continue representing the Residents, but with a fresh brief?

Once again Emma Hartley has arranged for some Calder High School Students to help us out, and all profits from this café will go directly to The Heptonstall Village Team, and the costs of putting the day on.
Children’s Parade on Festival Day
Drum machine and The Heptonstall Pantomime Group lead the way!
With the generous financial support from The Heptonstall Junior and Infant School and the Friends and Parents of Heptonstall we funds to spend on materials for the Children’s Parade on Festival Day.
We will be meeting at 10.30 am in Weavers Square and parading from 11 am headed up by the Heptonstall Pantomime Group and Drum Machine.
Jacky Kelly, from the Heptonstall Village Team will be knocking on doors along the route and seeing if some of our older generations would like a ring side seat as the parade passes through.
The Heptonstall Out of School Club have also lent their support to the event, by making a large Giant Peach to carry aloft on the day.
As a final touch, some of the kids will be carrying platters of peaches to offer to our special ‘roadside guests’ as the parade passes by.
The whole of the festival is aimed squarely at families, with plenty for all ages to see and do across the village including the Roald Dahl treasure hunt and not-to-be-missed Frolicked Puppet Theatre in Weaver Square at 1pm.
The programme which will run at the Bowling Club is an area to take the kids for a sit down and value ALL YOU CAN EAT Tapas, or sandwich platter lunch, or a quicker cake and sarnie. There will be lots of free activities where the youngest and oldest amongst us can join in, and everyone else too!
There’ll be plenty of food available across the village too – with a giant hog roast int the ruins, Vegan Food, snacks available from both pubs and delicious tea in the church – you should find something to your taste.
A fun day to be had for all across the whole village!
