UPDATE

Hi-again Sid Roe here with an update,

Well they finally got to clean out the lake some three weeks after asking for it to be done did a good job too lets hope they keep it up.

Sorry about not being able to update for such a long time but this was due to me having a new central heating system installed this has now been done so were back.

It looks like the miners welfare is going to be knocked down to make way for a new and smaller club the old one is just too big and it is uneconomical so the committee have submitted plans to the council for a new club to be built.

The lakeside have some new inhabitants in the form of cygnets and ducklings no report on when the work is to start but I have been told that the new bridge and the other work will be completed by the end of September which September remains to be seen.

The 61/62 Reunion are to hold a jumble sale on the 28^th of June round at the spa club.

I am giving a talk along with a slide show on old Askern on the 23 and 24^th of June 2008 this will be in the Askerne center which is lakeside.

Permission for the car show and hog roast have not been given this was due to the council not fully understanding what it was about they had some idea it was to be a car boot sale where they got that from I do not know anyway that’s it for now folks will update again at the weekend in the meantime here are some more photos
