VISIT Easingwold- Yorkshire at its best

THE GALTRES CENTRE

The Galtres Centre, Easingwold, incorporates many facilities for the local community and beyond to enjoy, whether it is sport, with a wonderful new indoor sports hall, gymnasium, outdoor all weather pitch for many sports, or the new Galtres Entertainment Centre with first class seating, central stage, superb sound and lighting, and providing varied entertainment for all including cinema. To support all these facilities, it has a bar and catering service.


The Galtres Centre always welcomes support from volunteers within the community, as the Centre is run by volunteers with a nucleus of paid staff, so offers to help will always be appreciated.
Any one who has retired and in previous employment has held a position that one would consider of assistance in the running of the Centre would be welcome.


The team of volunteers for the entertainment centre includes helpers at front of house level, but also help is wanted in the sound and lighting aspect of the theatre, no need for super technical knowledge, but that would be most welcome.


Any one with a good basic common sense approach is ideal with an offer to help in any aspect of work.
The bar is always after helpers who enjoy meeting people, giving a good service, but also any one getting involved in committees such as management and finance.


The Centre receives the minimum in grants, so relying on volunteers to ‘make things happen’, and produce a financial stability to cover all the high expenses such a centre incurs.


So, if you have retired, or just want to contribute to a highly successful organisation that gives a hearty welcome, then contact Judy Dalby to find out more on 01347 822472, or call in for a chat.

It's a fact

Sqdn Ldr. Jack Currie was a famous WW2 bomber pilot who lived in our area. Some time after leaving the RAF he got a job as an instructor with the Home Office Defence School situated at Hawk Hills, Easingwold. During these post war years he decided to write his memoirs of his wartime experience as a pilot of a Lancaster Bomber. This book had the title of \"Lancaster Target\" which became very popular and sold in the thousands. He wrote this book whilst visiting the George Hotel in Easingwold in the evening whilst enjoying a pint. Sadly he died much too soon and is now at laid at rest in Easingwold church cemetery where one can view his unusual gravestone which mentions the fact that he was a famous wartime pilot and author. His funeral service was attended by hundreds of people, including the members of the BBC who produced a film of him being interviewed in respect of his wartime period when he was stationed at Wickenby in Lincolnshire.
