The bridleway running from Kilham road to Woldgate is open along it's full length. The footpath from the end of Eastgate to the caravan site is open. The footpath opposite the caravan site up to the back corner of the wood, along the back of the wood and back down to the main road is open.Please note that the path from the back corner of the wood towards Littlethorpe and High Caythorpe remains closed, as do all other paths for the time being.

First of all, apologies for the late appearance of the June Newsletter, I had overlooked the fact that my place of work would be closed for one week and therefore no copying available until after June 4th. Please note that the next issue is the Sizzling Summer Bumper Double Edition!! Seriously though, this means that dates for meetings and events have to be given some thought.

It’s great to see some footpaths open at last! Many thanks to the staff at Thorpe Hall for cutting the grass on Dark Lane (end of Eastgate). It is also tremendous that Eastgate Farm and Thorpe Hall Caravan Park have managed to keep trading and are now fully functioning. Let’s hope that all the paths can be opened soon!

You’ll hopefully receive a leaflet on Rudston’s new recycling bins with this newsletter, please note that there will soon be an additional bin for paper. And I will echo the Parish Council Clerk, please make use of these facilities. The bottle banks are on the Burton Fleming road, opposite the village sports field.

Rudston Website, we’re now linked with a company called UKVillages.co.uk this should increase the number of hits on our site. UKVillages have had 150,000 hits so far nationally! Cheers, Colin.

The next meeting will be on June 5th in the Village Hall at 7.15 pm. The speaker will be Mr R Fieldhouse talking about Hearing Dogs for the deaf.

The Competition is a Pretty Fan.

Teas: W. Proctor and M. Reed . Vote of Thanks: C. Gatenby.

There will be a meeting of the Monday club next week. Following the poor attendance over the last Bank Holiday, will those not resident in the village please make an effort to attend as there are a number of topics to discuss.

Heard an interesting story this week: The old butchers shop was built around 1903 by Willie Bastiman, a local builder. The existing barn, due for demolition, was already there and a chalk cottage was in front of it facing Long Street. The cottage was burned down but the foundations are believed to be still there. During the wars the large chalk wall of the barn was used as a screen and villagers used to gather to watch films on it. Has anyone any other information regarding this please.

There will be a meeting on Monday 11th June at 7.30pm, in the Village Hall for anyone interested in helping with this year's arrangements for the Village Gala.

If anyone is interested in helping, but is unable to attend the meeting, please contact:-

Wendy Proctor or Fiona Turner.

We have a new Chairman! Mr Tony Ezard was elected at the Annual Meeting, following Mrs Campbell’s decision to stand down due to increased work commitments. Mr Ezard will be well known to everyone, but his telephone number is 420276. He is a busy chap, but will do his best to help everyone with any queries, or at least pass them on to someone who can. Mr Paul Burgess was re-elected Vice-Chairman and other members of council remain as per last month’s listing.

A copy of the Accounts will be found adjacent to this article. The two things that stand out are the little money spent on Parish Paths and no sponsorship of the Newsletter. The latter will be put right a.s.a.p. as it is still the Parish Council’s intention to support the newsletter once per year. I understand that invoices are in "the pipeline" for the Parish Paths scheme, which will make that look better. In any case, anything we don’t spend under this scheme is supposed to be repaid, so I expect something will be forthcoming. (The scheme’s "year" is different to our accounts year, which runs April to March of course).

Following comment on the bus service, which took over the "little bus" service, it is still operating as per the timetable on the Long Street bus shelter. I understand it runs a little differently out of Bridlington and may arrive back in Rudston, earlier than advertised though! However, Mary at the shop as a "regular", will put intending travellers right on that score.

Well, we got our Bottle Bank sooner than expected and there is (at the time of writing) a paper one to follow. There is, or will be separate advertising for this, so need hardly add that we should use it as much as we can please.

Now to the Children’s Play Park. Following a resident’s experience after asking politely for young people to take their dogs out of the field, I had quite a "sermon" ready for their benefit. You will be pleased to know I have decided against using it! Suffice to say that the "No Dogs" notice is a "polite" one rather than a legal one, rather like those "Thank you for not smoking" signs. Hopefully our young friends will be a little more understanding in future.

The next Parish Council meeting is on Wednesday 27th June. So I expect to be writing again before then. By the way, no-one turned up to the separate annual Parish Meeting, so presumably everything is running smoothly, which is good news.

Almost all the summer migrant birds have been reported but two exceptions are the turtle dove and the yellow wagtail. One of the migrants not often seen and quite difficult to identify is the lesser whitethroat but there are at least two pairs nesting in the village. Some birds are having a good breeding season, notably a long tailed tit which has succeeded in raising a brood of ten. There is an instance in the village of a nest containing a mixture of mallard and pheasant eggs. I just hope the duck doesn't try to teach the pheasant chicks to swim. Birds of prey are about in good numbers and a buzzard can be seen regularly circling to a great height on the thermal air currents.

Recently the police were in attendance, slowing traffic down, protecting a roe deer which had been hit by a car and was in a dazed state on the grass verge by Thorpe Hall. A little further along the road a fox had been run over and more recently a badger cub has suffered the same fate.

During the day all manner of insects have been taking advantage of the warm weather and orange tip butterflies and the three "cabbage whites" have been seen regularly. Cockchafer beetles, click beetles and good numbers of lady birds are around and with all the day flying insects appearing in large numbers, hunting for those birds which rely on them for feeding their young must be quite easy and could result in mostly successful broods. Nights however have been cool and clear and not good for moths so catches have been particularly poor and nothing unusual has been seen.

The water voles by the Village Hall seem to have left us. If anyone has seen them lately please let me know.

Flaming June, that’s what we used to call this month, let’s hope it lives up to it’s name, certainly the green fly think so, they are already well established on the roses and a good spray with a systemic insecticide should put paid to the annual pest. A watch is needed on roses for the two main diseases, black spot and powdery mildew, again we have fungicides these days to attack these, Carbendazin is one such material. It’s safe now (I hope) to plant out the tender crops such as marrows, pumpkins, ridge cucumbers and tomatoes, June frosts can occur but we can not wait much longer, under glass, tomatoes need regular feeding and side shooting and what about the white fly pest? Yellow sticky traps hung just above the top of the tomato plants will help to reduce this widespread pest, fuchsias and heliotropes especially are favourite hosts of the glasshouse white fly, so look carefully under the leaves of any new plants introduced into the glasshouse, for not just the adult white fly, but the eggs and nymphs of the pest. These soon turn into adult flies.
