Many thanks to everyone who supported Settlebeck's fund raising by buying a quiz sheet. The answers are as follows. There are of course points of discussion; i e. Designer of the Mini skirt was Andre Courresges, however most people would associate the mini skirt with Mary Quant so both answers are fine. The Beatles first No 1 was another difficult one however  the most popular one on internet sources, 'Please, Please Me' according to the music news of the day.  As to the Average wage..

  Were your ears were burning when I brought up the issue of the Auction Mart in Parliament the other day? I took the opportunity of a debate on land banking to draw the issue of the proposed sale of the Auction Mart to MP's attention. I am doing all that I can to try to ensure that the site is bought by the co-operative set up by a group of farmers expressly to ensure that there continues to be an auction in Sedbergh.
  However, the Sedbergh issue that has been taking most of my time in recent weeks is the proposed closure of Baliol School. North Yorkshire County Council's plans to consolidate their special needs provision with the resultant proposal to close Baliol cannot be allowed to go ahead. I have been to visit the school several times, most recently to launch a petition to keep the school open which should, by the time you read this, be available for you to sign in most of the shops in Sedbergh. If you can't find a copy or would like to have a copy yourself to collect signature you can get one from my office in Kendal (address at the end of this article). In addition I have been working with the other MP's affected by this decision to put pressure on North Yorkshire County Council to change their minds. It is so much better for children in need of the special schooling that Baliol provides to be as near their homes as possible. The Council's plan to move them to Scarborough is giving the needs of a vulnerable group of children a secondary priority to their financial considerations which is why the two other MP's whose constituents are also affected by the decision are also working with me. Please do help our campaign in whatever way you can, Sedbergh can ill afford to lose an employer of this size.
  The House of Commons is now in recess, which means that I no longer need to go down to London every week and I can spend more time in the constituency. As it is the summer recess I am planning to use part of my time running my mobile surgeries around the constituency, this time sadly not in the camper van but an ordinary white van. The 16^th of August will see me driving around Sedbergh, Dent and Garsdale, there will be notices put out nearer the time to give times and exact locations but please do make an effort to come along and say hello at whatever location most suits you. At the very least we can promise you a nice cup of tea and possibly even a biscuit. Also, if you are driving on that day and see a van covered in Orange badges coming towards you on one of those narrow roads then please make some allowance for me.
  As ever, if I can help you with these or any other issues then please contact me at Tim Farron MP, Yard 2, Stricklandgate, Kendal LA9 4ND or by email at tim@timfarron.co.uk
  Thanks for your support

Tim Farron MP

  On Sunday September 3rd at 2.45pm at St Gregory's, Vale of Lune, Marthwaite, there will be a performance of The Goldberg Variations by JS Bach, played by the acclaimed harpsichordist ARne Richards. The unusual aspect of this concert is that the variations will be interspersed with poems inspired by the variations. These will be read by the award winning poet (and violinist), Gregory Warren Wilson, who wrote the poems in the voice of Keyserlingk - an insomniac! - who was Russian Ambassador to the Dresden Court from 1733. He commissioned the variations from Bach in order that Goldberg, his chamber musician, should play them to him during the night to cheer him up when he could not sleep! ARne and Gregory are both part of the Oxford Concert Party, a versatile and entertaining group who play a diversity of instruments in a wide variety of styles.
  St Gregory's (marked    j on the map in the Festival brochures which are now readily available) is a familiar landmark along the road from Sedbergh to Kendal, on the left next to the Weathercock, just before you reach the bridge over the Lune. Many tourists call in as they pass by, but it is surprising to find how few local people have actually been inside to admire the little church (no longer used for regular services) and its beautiful stained glass windows. The church holds only a limited number, so buy your tickets now before they sell out!
  On Wednesday September 6th at 7.30pm in St Andrew's Church, Sedbergh, the Stonebridge Quartet (leader Julian Cann) will join forces with Nicholas Hurndall Smith (tenor) and Kalina Dimitrova (cello), all of whom are familiar to Sedbergh audiences. Their programme will include Ivor Gurney's delightful Five Elizabethan Songs and Schubert's great String Quintet in C, which everyone wants to take to their Desert Island!
  These two concerts, to be presented by Sedbergh Pepperpot Club, fall during the Sedbergh Festival of Books and Drama and they will follow the pattern of the two concerts which were held in the same venues during the first Festival last year.
  We are grateful for grants from the Churches Conservation Trust and Making Music, without which the concerts could not take place.
  Tickets (Adults £6, Children Free) are on sale from Sedbergh Pepperpot Club (015396 21196) and Sedbergh TIC & Festival Office (015396 20125).
  Light refreshments will be available after both concerts.
  Any profits from the concerts will go towards the Pepperpot Fund for Young Musicians.
