Dear All
Just a reminder about
the ……..
Litter Pick in the Gorge,
on the Warmsworth
side near the fish pass
and on the Sprotbrough side on Nursery Lane
on Saturday
9 February from 9 am to 12 noon
We would love to see you
there. Please wear appropriate clothing
and footwear. Meet either near the Fish
Pass or near the Boat Inn. Equipment
will be provided.
To add to the news about the
missing litter bins last week, we have had another incident of vandalism this
week when one of the hides had its windows, ledges and seats smeared with black
grease. It almost makes you want to cry
that some people are so intent on causing damage and being so disruptive of
people’s simple pleasures in this way
SPROTBROUGH ORAL HISTORY (SOH)
Our meeting last Friday 1
February at St Mary’s Church Hall was once again a great success. Sixteen people turned up, despite the snow
and cold, to spend two hours chatting and remembering amid laughter and
amazement that such things were possible.
Sheets of paper were spread around
the room with lots of different topic headings so that people could write their
memories down, and a couple of interviews were begun with scribes doing the
prompting and writing. Since then, I
have spent a day and a half typing these up so that their stories can be
continued at future meetings or in individual interviews.
We agreed we should meet
monthly and this will take place on the last Friday of each month until April
2020. The next meeting
will take place on Friday 22 February 2019. We have a long list of people wanting to be
interviewed and their memories will play a large part in the book that is
produced at the end of that time.
Meetings are open to anyone
interested in sharing or learning about the history of Sprotbrough Village from
1925 to 1965, so do feel free to come and meet other enthusiasts, as well as to
tell others about it.
For information,

TREE FELLING
If you have visited Sprotbrough
woods in the last week or two, you will have noticed that quite a lot of tree
felling has taken place. I have already
written what I know about it on the blog, so please check it out.
