Calderdale Heritage Walks Summer Programme 2019
The summer programme has fortnightly walks plus extra ones including Bank Holiday Mondays.
No pre-booking required, just turn up and pay the Guide – its £3 (all ages).
Almost all starting points are served by public transport. Well behaved dogs on leads are allowed on walks unless indicated by the No Dogs symbol.
There are still a few walks from the Winter Programme with the next on;
Sunday 3 March – The North Side of Elland.
Elland goes back to at least 1086 yet in 1760 much of the land was open land. In the century that followed, the arrival of canal, railway, new roads, industry and more housing changed things radically.
Meet Ian Philp at 1:30pm by St. Mary’s Parish Church, HX5 0BW for the latest Calderdale Heritage Walk.
Keep an eye on the Facebook page to see any late alterations.
The complete Summer Walks Programme as shown below can be downloaded here.
Local RSPCA Pet Photography Competition Now Open for Entries!
The RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield & Bradford branch is searching for ‘model-esque’ pets to take part in their ‘Picture Perfect Pet’ photo competition! The competition can be entered online via Facebook and is just £1.50 per entry. All entries will be judged on ‘cuteness and all round best photo’, with 10 finalists being selected on Sunday 20 January ready for the public to decide their favourite.
Fay Gibbons, Events Coordinator, says
“Our annual pet photo competition is a really fun way to celebrate how adorable we all think our pets are. We just love seeing all the entries and received such a variety of snaps last year; from cockatiels to reptiles! – It’s wonderful to see how much our pets mean to us. The 3 finalists decided by the public, will win a pet hamper full of goodies, so make sure you enter your pet to be in with the chance to win!”
The final date for all entries is Saturday 19 January at midnight and winners will be announced on Wednesday 23 January.
The competition will help to raise vital funds for the centre and the animals in the branches care. Last year the branch successfully found homes for 111 dogs, 281 cats and 73 small animals. For more information about the competition and the branch please visit: http://www.rspcahalifaxhuddersfieldbradford.org.uk or search for the event on Facebook – ‘Picture Perfect Pet Photo Competition’.
The RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield and District Branch are a self-funding branch of the National RSPCA, responsible for raising money locally to support our animal welfare work.

Illustrated Historical Talk: Ann Walker’s In-Laws
In an Anne Lister related theme, David Glover describes Ann Walker’s in-laws – The Sutherland family of Scotland and Lightcliffe on Wednesday 26 Sep, 2:00pm at the Red Brick Auditorium of Square Chapel Arts Centre.
This talk begins with a bang – a murder in the 1750s West Highlands, and tells the fascinating story of a family from its Scots roots to a Halifax marriage – and beyond.
Along the way, hear how Ann Walker’s scheming brother-in-law Captain Sutherland ensured she was shut away in an asylum near York, moving into her home Shibden Hall himself. His son sold Crow Nest mansion and returned to Scotland, to an unfortunate future.
A curious tale including extreme greed, child abuse, and bankruptcy.
Tickets are £5 and can be booked at the Square Chapel website.

Northowram Gin Festival
Northowram Primary School PTFA is pleased to announce that in association with pop up gin festival (as seen at Brodstock and Hipperholme gin festival), Northowram will be holding their very own gin festival on Friday 28 September, 8:00pm-11:30pm at Northowram Community Centre, Black Clough, Northowram HX3 7HF.
Live music will be from ‘The Good Citizens‘, a three piece band bringing their own acoustic twist to cover songs and showcasing a wide range of locally sourced gins as well as worldwide favourites.
Tickets are available at £10 which includes your first gin and a gin glass for you to keep!
Tickets are limited so get yours ASAP as all previous events run by this company have been a sell out.
This event is open to anyone and everyone and you do not need to have any links with the school. You just need to like gin, good music and also having a good time! (and be 18 or over).
For further information contact Natalie on 07971 625735 or visit the PTFA Facebook page.
