Hi again Its official the Miners Welfare is to change its name to and wait for this The Askern Sports and Pastime Limited in other words they are to become a limited company with the committee men attaining directorship status all this happens on Friday 27th of June 2008 at the A.G.M. Spoke with committee and they say it will be for the best we shall see. They are dropping the miners tag, as they want to be seen as a progressive club. I myself am quite proud of being an ex miner and why they can not see there way to keeping the word in the name of the new building is beyond me and one or two people were disgruntled about this matter also.
The shakers building has hit a problem with the builder going bankrupt it is 95 percent completed and I am sure that the people at N.D.R.T. will see it through to completion shame it is not ready yet but watch this space.
More on the lakeside it is now in need of draining off this is D.M.B.C. responsibility
And I hope to speak with them soon it is quite appalling that people cannot walk around the perimeter of the lake they have to walk on the muddy grass banks to get round, how someone in a wheelchair would manage I don’t know but hopefully it will soon be put right.
Lookout for a name change very soon as we shall be altering the name of the blog in the near future, if any one reading this has any suggestion for a new name then please let me know.

Hello.
I just want to say thankyou for the photos of the Swan Hotel (Askern). As I lived and worked in the pub in the year 2000, it was the most enjoyable job I had ever had. The people were VERY friendly and extremely helpful. I was extatic to see the pictures on your website, as there does not seem to be any others on the internet!(years of searching!) I love anything with history involved. Thankyou so much. You have made my day!!
