Calling on Starbeck People to take Action on Litter- a plea from Christine Stewart
Starbeck in Bloom
Hookstone Cub Scouts . joined Starbeck in Bloom to tackle the litter on the playing
field behind the school. This is twelfth year that we have had help and what did
we find! Look at the pile that the council have moved away for us.Now its your turn !Litter
is a constant problem in all areas of the country but we in Starbeck have been working
hard to eliminate it .These young Cub Scouts are leading the way but they are not
the only ones. We have many secret litter pickers-all our responsible dog walkers
pick up litter on a daily basis , many do it long before most of us are out of bed!
One lady diligently cleans up St Johns empty site and one picks all of Bogs Lane
every Monday morning! And yet despite our two Council Street Cleansers and all these
dedicated volunteers we still have litter. Obviously the problem lies with those
who DROP it . So come on Starbeck –think before you drop and if you do see it please
pick it up !We have the most litter bins in the district so use them.
SUPERB SHOW EXHIBITS MAKE STUNNING
DISPLAY IN STARBECK
The 10th annual Starbeck annual fruit, flower and vegetable show on Saturday at the
Methodist church in Starbeck was bigger than ever, writes Christine Stewart . The
tables of prize-winning onions, carrots, dahlias, fuchsias, cakes and embroidery
completely filled the hall and the church. There were nearly 300 entries in all,
making fir a stunning display. The mayor of harrogate, Coun Pat Jones , opened the
show and enjoyed walking around seeing the entries and meeting the entrants. There
was a display by Starbeck group of the Yorkshire country women's association, Vocational
skills showed off their bird feeders and in support of Bettys and Taylors Rainforest
Appeal there was an activity corner for children making forest animals. Refreshments
were supplied by Taylors of Harrogate.
Starbeck in Bloom would like to thank all who entered, visited and helped – without
you all, there would be no show.
