GRANGE MOOR
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Summer has finally arrived, if only for a few days, but it came at just the right time for our Miniature Memorial Park Opening Event on Sunday 23 June
Thanks to you, the residents for a great turnout, enjoying strawberries and prosecco and music from the Grange Moor Youth Training Band
Here are a few pictures from the day, including a lovely picture of Kirklees Councillor Bill Armer and Kirkburton Parish Councillor Marjorie Wheelhouse who gave the opening addresses, many thanks to them for this
RESIDENTS LUNCH CLUB
We had a great Lunch at Garda Italian Restaurant on Wednesday 26 June when 33 residents enjoyed a fabulous meal, and are now looking forward to our Afternoon Tea which will be on Thursday 26 September in The Church and in December our Resident’s Christmas Lunch at The Kaye Arms
Membership of the Residents Lunch Club continues to grow, and with this the likelihood that future Lunch Club Meals may be fully booked with Members Priority Booking
NOT A MEMBER ? if you are interested in joining us at these Meals why not sign up as a Member and have priority booking for each Meal
Membership is open to all residents, but is particularly aimed at those who are around the village regularly during the week
COMMUNITY FISH & CHIPS
The Community Fish & Chip deliveries, started in June 2020 as a one off, and continue to attract many of you. We have now had 31 delivery days since we started with 1,854 meals delivered in 738 home visits (to the end of June 2024) with the probability that we will reach the milestone delivery figure of 2,000 meals before the end of this year, will it be you?
The Community Fish & Chip deliveries are open to all Grange Moor residents, at no cost as we have secured funding which will currently take us to September 2024. Our costs, and demand, are increasing and we welcome donations to help us maintain this fabulous project
We encourage residents to nominate someone who they feel would appreciate the delivery of a hot meal, residents can of course request a delivery for themselves
We deliver to residents’ homes within walking distance of the Fish & Chip Shop, thanks to a fantastic team of volunteers
We have, of course, to give a huge thanks to George & Kayla at Grange Moor Fisheries who have been a great support since we first raised the idea with them back in the depths of lockdown in 2020
COFFEE @ THE PAVILION
Coffee @ The Pavilion continues offering a regular monthly coffee morning and we invite any one who is around during the week on the third Wednesday of each month to join us for coffee, conversation and company with invited guests sharing with us
RACE DAY
Our Race Day in October is now re-established as a regular event and a great fun afternoon, helping to raise funds for both ourselves and the Bowling Club
MINIATURE PARK
WILD LIFE GARDEN
We are also looking to complete the wild life garden adjoining the Park, this summer and welcome any offers of help with this, please get in touch if you are able to help, all offers of help will be appreciated
HISTORY TALK
On Monday 15 July, local historian John Lyte, will entertaining us with another history talk
“It will be nice when it’s done”
The story of his home in Briestfield and the history of its previous inhabitants
Sadly, we do not have enough information and pictures for another talk specifically about Grange Moor this year, but we are working with John to dig out more in the hope that we can look forward to another local history
talk next year.
If you have any memorabilia, pictures or memories that might be helpful, please get in touch with our Secretary, Brian
WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR PLANS?

The Community Association Meetings are held on the first Tuesday in the month (Autumn & Winter) and move to the first Monday in the month from April to September during the Bowling season. Meetings are usually in The Bowling Club Pavilion from 7.30 pm but you are advised to check during the Bowling season as we are finding this year that circumstances beyond our control are making us change these dates, sometimes at short notice
