Another Great Job by Phoenix

July 2019... Yet another bench was replaced this week in Horbury, courtesy of The Rotary Club of Horbury and Ossett Phoenix.
The bench was installed by our Immediate Past President Alan Hudders, Past President Mick Miller, Phoenix member Stuart Wilby and Roger Parkinson PHF. Roger gives a great deal of time as a local Woodland Creation Champion and Volunteer Speaker for the Woodland Trust, as well as through his leading role for Wakefield Tree Wardens Charter Branch. As if that wasn't enough he also is a great friend of Phoenix Rotary and regular volunteer on our local projects. This skillful team spent hours overcoming some technical difficulties in site preparation and previously team member Stuart welded extra steel tube to the legs of the refurbished bench to bring the seat height up to the new regulation height.
The bench is now fully installed and in use in the grassed area at the junction of Quarry Hill and Horbury Bypass.
Well done all and a lovely job it is too:

2019 Horbury Show - Thank You

A huge thank you to all of you who either attended or supported The Horbury Show yesterday. The turnout was much higher than in previous years and we hope you thoroughly enjoyed the day. We are non profit making and all give freely of our time. All money raised goes to charitable causes and over the last two years we have made 150 payments to charities, local community groups and good causes which total £50,000. Two thirds of that total amount has come from the Horbury Show.
If you have the skills, energy and enthusiasm to work with us to make our community a better place to live, then please feel free to contact us. We are happy to accept support in whatever way you feel comfortable at either next year's show or other projects we are involved with throughout the year.

Commemorative Trees for Horbury, Horbury Bridge and Sth. Ossett

The Horbury and Ossett Phoenix project to plant a commemorative Oak Tree in Carr Lodge Park in remembrance of the people of Horbury who fell in the First World War (as 2018 was the centenary of the end of WW1) inspired our local Community Group - Friends of Horbury Parks, to plant further commemorative Oak trees in Horbury Bridge, Horbury Junction and South Ossett.
The photographs show:
1) Nick Bardsley (left), Chair of Phoenix Community and Vocational Committee and Councillor Darren Byford (right), Secretary of Friends of Horbury Park, who planted the second of three further commemorative Oak trees on Tuesday the 28th of May in the grass triangle on Daw Lane towards Horbury Junction, opposite Chestnut House (and with thanks to John and Liz Faulkner for taking delivery of the tree and it's protective ironworks before planting).
2) The Oak tree planted in Reid Park, Horbury Bridge.
The final tree will be planted in Illingworth Park, South Ossett in due course.
Thanks to Darren, who created the successful bids which financed the purchase of the three further trees, we will have a total of four commemorative Oak trees across our community.
