Sally Machen thinks it’s a brilliant idea and immediately added to the pool of things that others might like to borrow, including dining chairs, soup makers, slow cookers, books and other items. Sam Key offers a couple of quite large gazebos and a garage full of random tools that may be helpful if anyone needs them.

No doubt the scheme will grow in popularity as the range of items available increases. Here’s a dedicated Facebook link – https://www.facebook.com/Borrow-not-buy-

It’s going to be a similar event to the one held last Christmas when people were invited to hire a table for £5 to sell their wares or promote something. Anyone who would like a stall is asked to get in touch with Karen as soon as possible. There’ll hopefully be raffles and tombolas to support specific charities. Linda and Karen will put on their usual cake stall.

Afternoon teas which will include sandwiches, savouries, scones, cakes, plus tea, coffee or soft drink will be available at £5 per adult and £2.50 for children. If it’s a nice day (and it should be in August!) the hall’s recently acquired marquee will be erected so that tea can be enjoyed in the garden.

Last time help with baking was sought there was a tremendous response from kind villagers who were happy to help by baking cakes, buns, quiches or sausage rolls. Once again any help would be much appreciated on this occasion. Please contact Karen (577426) if you can assist.

And a very special thank you is due to ex-chairman of the council, Peter Palmer, who has agreed to act as Parish Clerk on a temporary basis. There’ll be an advertisement in due course for a permanent clerk. Anyone fancy the job?

The Commissioner is considering proposals for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service over the next three years. The plan being discussed, sets out how the Service would seek to deploy its people, equipment, and resources. These proposals are based on an extensive risk assessment across North Yorkshire and York, which has identified the likelihood and severity of fires, road traffic collisions, water related incidents, and other emergencies.

Last Sunday’s Email was issued before the Sunday Brunch was over. I mentioned that it had been a remarkable success. I can now report that a total of £343 was raised and this will be donated to the Village Hall to help support planned improvements including replacement of all windows in the hall and, hopefully, the construction of a new patio area later in the year.

Well, it looks like things are changing for the better as it’s understood a number of nominations were submitted by the deadline last Friday 10 June. The names of nominated candidates will be published next week.

This is very good news. It’s got to be better having local people managing village affairs, rather than nominated individuals from Harrogate Council.

The majority of villagers embraced the Jubilee event and transformed Topcliffe and Asenby into a brightly decorated royal wonderland with bunting, flags and other decorations. Yesterday independent judges toured Topcliffe and Asenby and selected a the best decorated house from each village. The prize winners are:

• Topcliffe: Pauline Hand, Deans Square
• Asenby: The Robertson Family, The Old Barn.

Yesterday’s Party in the Park – the main event of the weekend – was held on the Playing Field in Topcliffe and dozens of families joined in the fun and games…and enjoyed a picnic, live music and ice creams. Here are a few pictures taken during the day:

• Fancy a tug of war?
• Afternoon teas galore
• View from the church tower (1)
• View from the church tower (2)
• View from the church tower (3)

A big thank you to all the parents who gave up their time to plan and organise the event and to Wendy and Louise Bumby who prepared 80 afternoon teas for those who preferred not to have to make up their own picnic.

Children were invited to attend the picnic wearing their own homemade monarch’s crown and the best efforts were awarded prizes. The winner was:

• Teddy McLean of Half Moon House, Topcliffe
• The second and third places went to Evelyn and Connie Robertson
• All the competitors are pictured here

Throughout Saturday afternoon visitors had the opportunity to climb up the tower of St Columba’s Church to see how the village looked from above in its Platinum Jubilee colours.

This morning, around 100 villagers attended the Sunday Brunch at the Village Hall, making it one the best attended brunches ever organised. A big thank you to the team in the kitchen – Judith Lowe, Malcolm and Karen Morley, Linda Robinson, Chris Wiggins and Lynne Mee (and anyone else who helped).

Royalty-themed paintings prepared by children attending Topcliffe Academy were on display at the brunch. The artwork was judged earlier in the week and the judges chose the following winners:

• Nursery & Reception: Amy Foster, Shaila Rahman and Louis Desquesnoe
• Dragons (Years 1 and 2): Annabelle Bumby, Rose Davis and Isla Burke
• Knights Coats of Arms – (Years 3 & 4): Tyler Dawson, Oliver Robertson and Ava Clark
• Queen’s Images – (Years 5 & 6) Marilyn Wright, Grace Butma and Lewis Clark.

TONIGHT
This evening at 6.30pm the community’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations will close with a Choral Evensong at St Columba’s Church. The service will be followed by refreshments. It’s hoped that our two villages might find this a nice way to close the extended weekend’s celebrations. Everyone is warmly invited to attend.

• TONIGHT – Sunday 5 June at 6.30pm – Jubilee Service of Choral Evensong
• Sunday 12 June at 10.45am – Holy Communion
• Sunday 19 June at 10.45am – Choral Matins
• Sunday 26 June at 10.45am – Holy Communion.

All services conclude with refreshments and time to linger.

Much of the story of his early life in Ireland is disputed but he seems to have been involved in the Battle of Cúl Dreimhne in 561, during which many men were killed. A synod of clerics and scholars threatened to excommunicate him for these deaths, but eventually, the process was deemed a miscarriage of justice. However, Columba’s own conscience was uneasy, and on the advice of an aged hermit, Molaise, he resolved to deal with his uneasiness by leaving Ireland and moving to, in 563, to Scotland.

According to legend he first landed on the Kintyre Peninsula. However, being still in sight of his native land, he moved farther north up the west coast of Scotland. The island of Iona was given to him by his kinsman Conall mac Comgaill, King of Dál Riata, who perhaps had invited him to go to Scotland in the first place.
Columba subsequently played a major role in the politics of the country. He was very energetic in his work as a missionary and he founded several churches in the Hebrides. He also worked to turn his monastery at Iona into a school for missionaries. He was a renowned man of letters, having written several hymns and being credited with having transcribed 300 books.

According to traditional sources, Columba died on Iona on Sunday, 9 June 597, and was buried by his monks in the abbey he created. Columba’s relics were finally removed in 849 and divided between Scotland and Ireland.

Patients will be unable to order their regular prescription whilst the changeover is taking place in July so that month’s prescription should be requested early so that requests can be fulfilled ahead of the change.

As a result of the computer systems update, patients will need to take action to ensure they can access medical services via their Apps. The Patient Access app will soon stop working altogether and instead everyone should download and use the NHS App to order their medication. However, patients are advised that they won’t be able to order medication on the NHS app unless they also link their app to the Surgery. Help about how to do this can be found at https://help.login.nhs.uk

The surgery is updating its computer systems and patients will need to take action to ensure they can access medical services via their Apps and to obtain their medications on time. The "Patient Access" App will soon stop working altogether and instead everyone should download and use the "NHS" App to order their medication. Patients won’t be able to order medication on the “NHS” App unless they also link their app to the Surgery. Help about how to do this can be found at https://help.login.nhs.uk

The main changes to the clinical systems will take place in July and patients will be unable to order their regular prescription whilst the changeover is taking place. So, requests for June and July medication should be made as soon as possible in June so that requests can be fulfilled ahead of the change. Patients can also order their medication or submit enquiries via the Surgery’s website www.topcliffesurgery.co.uk

Changes like the one being planned will improve arrangements at the surgery, but it will be complicated and take time to complete, so everyone is asked to be patient (excuse the pun) during the transition.
