Press release (May 28, 2007)
MICHAEL IS MADE OF THE 'WRITE' STUFF
Michael Brown, aged 10, of
Middleham Church of England Primary School, has won the inaugural
Wensleydale Writers competition.
As part of the Middleham Stables
Open Day celebrations, the Wensleydale Writers held a writing
competition for children of 11 years and under. The subject which the
children had to write about was the Middleham
Jewel.
Mauram Burner of the Wenselydale
Writers said: “We had around 50 entries, and the three founder members
of Wensleydale Writers read them all and came up with a short list of
four. Robin Battersby, the director of Arts in Richmond, then had the
difficult task of picking a winner.
“He chose Michael Brown’s story.
Michael was presented with his prize of a £10 book token, donated by
Philip Wickes of Castle Hill book shop in
Richmond , by Richmondshire MP and Shadow Foreign Secretary William
Hague,” she said.
The Wensleydale Writers, whose
numbers have swelled from three to 15 since their formation a year ago,
also held a prize draw for a signed copy of William Hague’s book, Pitt
the Younger. Mr P Jameson of Ripon drew the winning ticket. |

MIDDLEHAM STABLES OPEN DAY RAISES £20,000 FOR
CHARITY |
|
The ever-popular Middleham
Stables Open Event, which attracted a record-breaking 7,000 people on
Good Friday this year, has raised £20,000 for North Yorkshire and racing
charities. William Hague, MP for Richmondshire and Shadow Foreign
Secretary, has handed over cheques to the local charities and
organisations at the Middleham Key Centre.
The beneficiaries included: The
Middleham Key Centre itself, Racing Welfare, Middleham Sports
Association, Middleham Over 60s Luncheon Club, Children Today, Middleham
Town Council Community Fund, Middleham Primary School, Middleham Under
5’s Playgroup, St Alkelda’s Church, Middleham, Herriot Hospice Homecare,
Wensleydale High School PTA, Leyburn Town band, Richmond and Catterick
Furniture Store and the Middleham Community Wellbeing Group.
The Middleham Stables Open
Event, sponsored by the Northern Echo, presented a unique opportunity to
visit some of England’s top racing stables. It was officially opened by
television and radio star Kathryn Apanowicz, the partner of the late
Richard Whiteley, and the Rt Hon William Hague, MP for Richmondshire,
and Shadow Foreign Secretary. Billy Hartman, who plays Terry Woods in
the popular television soap opera Emmerdale, was the guest of honour.
William Hague said: “Middleham is a tremendous success story and fully
deserves its reputation as the finest racing centre in the north of
England. We have some tremendously successful trainers and it is
wonderful that they open their yards to so many people, especially as
the proceeds go to such deserving local charities”
Tim
Burner, the organiser of the Open Event, said: “The £20,000 raised
represents a great achievement on the part of so many people, including
the trainers, the loyal staff at the Key Centre and, last but not least,
the thousands of people who flocked to our town and ensured the day was
a resounding success. We are looking forward to an bigger and better
event next year”.
James Bethell, the chairman of
the Middleham Trainers Association, commented: “The Open Event provided
an opportunity to meet the winners and to talk to the trainers, jockeys
and stable hands at this ever-popular annual event. This year it has
proved more popular than ever and has raised a tremendous amount of
money for charity”. |
