LATEST New Year's Day Treasure Hunt - Sunday 1 January The annual New Year's Day Treasure Hunt is a gentle, brisk walk around the scenic countryside of Mytholmroyd, suitable for all the family. Families will receive a sheet of clues and a basic outline of the route to follow. The majority of the walk is on well marked footpaths, taking in spectacular views along the way. The route starts and finishes at Mytholmroyd Fire Station where refreshments and cakes will be served. As the event is now in it's third year, the route will be different from previous years, but will be of similar difficulty. The Treasure Hunt will start at 10.00, but you are invited to start whenever you like, the latest start time is 12.30. The admission is: Adult (£2), Child (£1), Family (£5). The money raised will be donated to The Firefighter's Charity and the White Ribbon Campaign.

A memorial stone will bear his name and lines from one of his poems. It will sit at the foot of the stone commemorating his publisher, TS Eliot. Hughes' widow Carol and daughter Frieda are expected to attend the ceremony for the writer, who died in 1998. The Yorkshireman's friend and fellow poet Seamus Heaney will give a reading at the event. "I think Ted would be utterly honoured to be at the foot of TS Eliot and he would indeed be honoured to be in the corner," Heaney told BBC News. "He was a poet of England and though he may not have been as conventional a member of the Anglican church as TS Elliot was, he had basically a religious vision so he would be very happy to be in the Abbey.

I dropped some boots in to Dougie's Bike/Shoe Repairs, returned immediately to my car and was shocked to see the clamp; within 10 seconds two 'heavies' appeared demanding £150 to release the clamp.

The people of Mytholmroyd are being invited by Royd Regeneration and Calderdale council to a grand dedication ceremony where the new head to the memorial statue will be unveiled. The ceremony, planned for Sunday 16th October will begin at 2.15 at St Michael's Square, from where a procession to the Memorial Garden will leave. The statue will be unveiled by Mrs Barbara Jeffrey, whose father Gilbert Hartley opened the garden on 11th July 1922. "I never imagined I would follow in my father's footsteps in this way," said Barbara, "it is a great honour to unveil the statue that commemorates those who never came home. Many local people were very upset when the original head was stolen" she continued. Royd Regeneration has also teamed up with Pennine Horizons who have many un-named photographs of soldiers and nurses who went to war. "It would be a great help to us if we could get members of the public to identify people in these photos" said Frank Woolrych.

Fill in the survey before 30th OctoberHebden Royd Town Council is currently applying to take over the Hebden Bridge Picture House from Calderdale Council. The current financial climate is likely to limit the ability of Calderdale MBC to invest in the future of the Picture House. A lack of investment in the Picture House could mean that its future becomes less assured. The aim of Hebden Royd Town Council is to ensure that this much loved resource is able to continue to provide the best possible experience for many years to come and our aspiration is to develop the Picture House into the best single screen cinema in the country.

From Brian Mottershead Pembroke, Ontario, Canada Old Pictures Have enjoyed your collection of older pictures on the website. My brother and I were perusing them last week and were surprised that we knew several people. We both went to Calder High School 1951 to 1956. I have lived in Canada since '56 and my brother now lives in California. So, thought you might be interested in this picture taken at Calder High about 1952 or 53. The cast of a school play, which as I recall wasn't very good, even though I was in it! I know names of about half the people and would be interested in hearing from anyone who recognizes him or herself.  Click on photo above to see a larger version.
