Two Local Breweries Hit Crowdfunding Targets
by Jon Howe.

Leeds has been at the epicentre of the UK craft beer scene since its inception in the early 2010s, and there appears to be no let-up in the city’s thirst for hop-forward and very quaffable beers, with two of its local breweries landing significant crowdfunding investment in the last six months.
Northern Monk very quickly shook off its image as a progressive micro-brewery to become established as a major player in an over-subscribed marketplace. From humble beginnings using a £5,000 donation from co-founder Russell Bissett’s gran to develop beers alongside head brewer Brian Dickson in a damp cellar in Bradford, the duo set off on a remarkable upwards trajectory from the Old Flax Store in Holbeck in 2013. Having rapidly outgrown the converted mill building, an initial crowdfunding campaign in 2018 saw the business expand production at a nearby site.
Today, Northern Monk is a national brand but still proudly rooted in Holbeck. It has produced over 46 million pints for bars and pubs nationwide, with cans stocked in all the major supermarkets. With a £1million target, they started a ‘Join the Rising’ crowdfunding campaign in November 2024 looking to establish themselves as Europe’s largest craft brewery by 2035. They are already the 14th most popular brewery in the world, so this doesn’t seem like an objective that is beyond them, particularly as they smashed their target and ended up with £1.94million in funds from 1825 investors.
This will help Northern Monk open a flagship bar in London, renovate their original Old Flax Store site, increase brewing capacity to meet future demand and become carbon neutral by 2030.
Less ambitious in their funding target, but no less appealing, further west across Leeds in Farsley is another burgeoning success story. Amity Brew Co had the toughest challenge of brewing its first beers in June 2020, and setting up a taproom in Sunnybank Mills in December that year, as soon as lockdown restrictions allowed them to.
From there, the group of friends led by co-founder Russ Clarke, have developed their range of beers and have outgrown their original brewing capacity. A £50,000 crowdfunding goal was set in February 2025 and with 12 days left had reached 113% of its target by mid-March, raising £56,000 from 607 investors.
Amity is moving production three miles to increased capacity at Albion Mills in Greengates, but with their ‘Famity’ funds will be turning their Farsley headquarters into a round-the-clock hospitality venue. A refurbished taproom, along with a new kitchen, toilets and event space will give another successful Leeds craft brewing brand a bright and sustainable future.

Headingley’s Record Rugby League Crowd
by Jon Howe.

As a cricket venue, ‘Headingley’ is undoubtedly one of the most famous sporting arenas in the world, but the rugby league side of its dual nature is no-less renowned, having hosted oval ball games since 1890, and this month marks the 78th anniversary of its record attendance.
Leeds started the 1946/47 season with a familiar sense of chagrin among its supporters. The previous campaign had seen the Loiners finish 23rd out of 27 teams, and optimism wasn’t high. But two key mid-season signings helped changed the club’s fortunes and resulted in the most successful post-war season up to that time, even if it ended in misery on two fronts.
Bert Cook – a valuable kicker from New Zealand – and Arthur Clues – an Aussie test forward – joined in early 1947. They triggered a revival which resulted in an unprecedented run to the Challenge Cup Final, in which Leeds didn’t concede a single point in five games. At Wembley against local rivals Bradford Northern, however, Leeds lost 8-4 in a disappointing game, although the crowd of 80,000 was a then rugby league record attendance.
This meant anticipation was high for the revenge fixture when the same two clubs met in the league at Headingley less than three weeks later. 40,175 fans turned up and packed out the stadium, paying record receipts of £3,297. But it was another anti-climax, as the two rivals slugged out a dour 2-2 draw. The record attendance was the only memorable feature of a fixture for which extra trams, trains and buses had been laid on, and twice the number of police officers had been drafted in. Leeds finished the season fourth, and subsequently lost to Wigan in a Play-Off Semi-Final.
One year later, a test match between Great Britain and Australia attracted 36,529 to LS6, but few games since have come close. At this time, Headingley already formed the image that was familiar to rugby league lovers for many years until its modern reconstruction was started in 2005 with a new, two-tier East Stand. The east and west ends were open terraces, and the North Stand was the facility shared with the cricket side and which was constructed in 1933 after the previous stand was destroyed in a fire. Meanwhile, the South Stand was the long, roofed terrace that was built in 1931 and which housed the club’s most vociferous fans for 88 years until it was re-built in 2019.
Current capacity at Headingley is just 22,250 and the limited confines of the site mean the record attendance set on 21st May 1947 will most likely never be beaten.

Spring is in the air
by Ian Rotherham.

Just a few weeks of sunnier, warmer weather make a huge difference to nature, and I believe, to us too. The annual reawakening of nature from the deep wintertime slumbers is remarkably good for the soul. Spring is also a period of contrasting conditions where the warming sun pushes daytime temperatures upwards, but clear skies at night can cause them to plummet once more into a deep freeze.
In the garden and local parks and woods, spring flowers begin to burst forth and many of the birds visiting are now those which will be breeding locally. In my wildlife garden there have been a few late winter hangers on, such as a lesser redpoll briefly on the feeders, but mostly the birds are now local residents. The nearby wood resounds to a very vocal mistle thrush singing loudly as darkness falls, only to be replaced by a rather noisy pair of tawny owls as evening turns to night. During the daytime, both blue t**s and especially great t**s are singing persistently and are joined by the loud calls of a local nuthatch. A great spotted woodpecker drums on a dead oak trunk and then makes its ‘chip-chip-chip’ calls as it approaches the peanut holders to feed. The resident robins are now paired up and resiliently defending their patch against possible intruders. It seems that a couple of pairs of chaffinches will be nesting locally too.
Elsewhere, there are signs of nature reawakening with both honeybees and bumblebees emerging to catch vital sunlight and raise their body temperatures. On several occasions so far, I have even seen a hornet busily exploring the bird-feeders around my garden patio. I wonder if 2025 is shaping up to be a ‘hornet year’; the indications at this early stage are certainly that way. Gorse is coming into bloom on local heaths and hedgerows and provides excellent pollen and nectar for the early pollinating insects. Though gorse is always in flower (and hence the folk saying that ‘When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season’), the spring bloom is the most spectacular. In parks and gardens the spring bulbs are pushing through and well on the way. The first to appear were the early snowdrops in ever-increasing carpets of naturalised flowers, soon followed by superabundant crocuses and then early daffodils. In woodlands and other shady areas, the early-flowering lesser celandine, one of the buttercup family, is for a short time the cream of the crop. By April and May, it will be replaced by wild bluebells in ancient woods and similar shady places.
Trees and shrubs are also in bloom and those sufferers from tree-pollen hay-fever will have noticed the wind-borne pollen of alders and hazels so abundant at this time. Portuguese laurel makes an appearance with spikes of understated white flowers, and both witch hazel and forsythia are early to appear. However, to provide for the earliest bees and butterflies that emerge, then winter-flowering jasmine is good to grow. In the wildlife garden the intention is to have at least some flowers available almost all-year round.

The People Who Make
Yorkshire Great: Dame Maureen Lipman
by Jon Howe.

Some familiar faces from television programmes of our youth appear to have been around forever, but when they pop-up on the small screen in 2025 it can feel like something of a comfort blanket, and Yorkshire’s-own Maureen Lipman is one such example.
The versatile actress, columnist and comedian has endured to become a staple reminder of classic film and television from the 1970s and 80s, and has meanwhile carved out a 50-year stage career with numerous Olivier award nominations. Maureen Lipman was born to Jewish parents Maurice and Zelma in Hull in May 1946, and benefitted from a strong post-war Jewish community in the coastal city. Encouraged into performing by her parents, she appeared in various school plays before joining the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
Maureen’s stage debut came in 1968 in ‘The Knack’ at Watford Palace Theatre and within three years she had joined both the Laurence Olivier National Theatre Company and the Royal Shakespeare Company. She performed at every major theatre in the capital, and in 2018 Maureen enjoyed a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her one-woman comedy show ‘Up For It’.
But she is best known for a wealth of TV appearances, despite multiple big screen credits for films such as ‘Up The Junction’, ‘The Wildcats of St Trinians’, ‘Educating Rita’, ‘Carry on Columbus’, ‘Solomon & Gaenor’ and ‘The Pianist’. On TV her first major role was in the sitcom ‘Agony’ between 1979 and 1981, though she also starred in ‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Sweeney’, ‘Smiley’s People’, ‘Jonathan Creek’, ‘Eskimo Day’, ‘Holby City’, ‘Casualty’, ‘Ladies of Letters’, ‘Midsomer Murders’ and ‘The Vicar of Dibley’.
While Maureen has the rare distinction of being one of only a handful of actors who have appeared as two different characters in Coronation Street – Landlady Lillian Spencer in 2002 and Grandmother Evelyn Plummer in 2018 – she is perhaps best remembered as the character Beatrice Bellman, who she played in a long-running series of British Telecom TV ads starting in 1987.
Throughout an extensive acting career Maureen has also maintained a talent for writing, providing a monthly column for ‘Good Housekeeping’ for over ten years, and completing the autobiography of her first husband, the dramatist Jack Rosenthal, when he died in 2004. She has since completed eleven semi-autobiographical books of her own.
Viewers of a certain vintage were cheered when Maureen first appeared on Channel 4’s ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ in 2020, alongside her friend Gyles Brandreth, which she continues to this day, while in the same year she was made a Dame in the Queen’s Birthday Honours’ List.

Educating Everyone A must read for everyone!

Alan Braven and Anthony Benedict have worked together for five years, driven by a shared commitment to improving support for children in SEMH schools and Pupil Referral Units—and recognising what was missing in mainstream education.
As they collaborated, they were unknowingly developing Relational Inclusion. Their work led to the creation of Ambition Community Trust, multiple school training programmes, and several pilot projects in primary and secondary schools.
When Alan suggested they document their work in a book, it made perfect sense. However, having never written one, they faced a challenge: how do an English teacher and a maths teacher co-author a book on whole-school behaviour change? More importantly, how do two voices become one?
They started with an outline. Anthony wrote a section and sent it to Alan, who added his perspective and sent it back. They soon realised their journeys were strikingly similar—uncannily so. Instead of telling two separate stories, they decided to merge their experiences into one voice.
While all the events in this book are real, the narrator is a fictional composite of both authors. They deliberately avoided specific names because this isn’t about individuals; it’s about the lessons they’ve learned.
More than anything, they hope this book serves as a catalyst for the systemic change education so desperately needs.

Barnsley West Neighbourhood Policing Team.
May Update.
by Inspector Rebecca Richardson.
Barnsley West NPT works with partners to tackle problems and issues within the community. This includes working with other Police departments,
our colleagues from BMBC, or local stakeholders. Below are some recent examples.

SYP Departments
Over recent months, we have been joined by colleagues from our Mounted Section, who were not horsing about patrolling some of our more rural locations around Pen*stone and Oxspring.
Colleagues from BMBC
Officers from the team worked alongside BMBC Wardens, undertaking checks on waste carrier vehicles. Most vehicles passed; one vehicle was seized, due to not having the correct paperwork to collect waste. The driver will now receive a fine from BMBC.
One of our eagle-eyed BMBC Wardens spotted this dodgy looking bike recently being ridden on Sheffield Road, Kendray. The Warden managed to speak with the rider, but he clearly had other places to be, making off before the Warden could get details.
The Warden requested assistance from our Officers, who made their way into the area and located the bike and rider.
The bike’s VIN number had been scrubbed off, so the bike has been seized suspect stolen. Enquiries are ongoing.

PCSOs were on patrol in Gilroyd recently when they spotted this suspicious van collecting scrap. They immediately requested the attendance of our BMBC Wardens to do some checks on the vehicle.
Unfortunately for the owner, checks revealed they had failed to buy a Waste Carrier Licence, which is required for this type of activity. The van has now been seized and the owner will be processed for the offence.
Remember, you must register for a Waste Carrier Licence if your business does any of the following:
• Transports waste (a carrier)
• Buys, sells or disposes of waste (a dealer)
• Arranges for someone else to buy, sell or dispose of waste (a broker)
Registration is usually free if you only transport waste you produce yourself. Otherwise, registration costs £154 for 3 years (£105 to renew).
Other Stakeholders
PCSOs visited Keresforth Primary School recently, and did a talk to Nursery and Reception classes on the job we do, how to stay safe and then the children had a look around the police car.
PCSOs attended Cawthorne School, with local Councillors, and Parish Councillors and did walk about with the Head Teacher and School Pupil Council. The aim was to educate the parents on safe parking when dropping off and collecting their children.

Contact Us
If you would like to meet the team and help guide the team’s priorities, our next Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meetings are available on our website
