Yorkshire Water have now made the decision to close Ardsley Reservoir

Please do not visit

The government direction is clear – do not drive to exercise- despite this and the fact Yorkshire water have blocked the car park, every day numerous cars are still arriving at the reservoir and are blocking the lane to the reservoir, which is an access road to residents and also Haighmoor Rd is being blocked, effecting residents and other road users including buses.

Please be sensible – please be safe

Tingley Methodist Church has now closed temporarily closed due to the viral outbreak, this includes all groups and Sunday services.

St Mary’s Church playgroup has now closed for the time being

The Government has now advised that all schools close Friday afternoon (20th March 2020) and do not reopen until instructed- please contact your own school for further details especially if you are a “key worker”

Despite all the upset in the world right now some people are trying to do good 🙂

If you would like to join the main band, maybe after a break in playing, or you are worried about too much commitment, they play in the same place once a week on a Tuesday evening, currently not competing so no pressure, they would be very happy you to join them for a blow no matter what it is you are playing or what level you are at.

Geoff Fowler is the conductor and you can speak to him on 0113 253 0719.
