Topic : NEW FACILITIES IN THE PARK |
|
| midway |

|

Bring back the Banger! |
|
| midway |
please explain what does that mean? |
|
| nabend |
The Banger was a huge and potentially lethal piece of playground equipment, which moved in a similar way to those swinging galleons you see at theme parks. You could get about ten people on it. Removed in the late sixties before someone got killed. I almost did! |

I remember it well , your first time on it was almost a rite of passage, sadly the elf and safely brigade would go into overdrive if such a ride still existed. Remember the big slide, we used to polish it with candle wax? The witches hat designed for sitting on, but much more fun to stand on using body weight to make it weave in and out. Golly I must be getting old. |

Thank you for that reply and the trip down memory lane,but i was inquiring about any updates to new sports facilities featured in local papers in July 2013. Talks continue over Silsden Park community building Proposals to build a new community building in Silsden Park are continuing behind-the-scenes. Silsden mayor Chris Atkinson is in talks with local sports groups about what would be needed in such a facility. He and fellow town councillor Adrian Naylor are also looking at potential sources of funding for the ambitious project. Coun Naylor said that once the building could be shown to be viable, a report would be taken back to Silsden Town Council to be looked at. He added: “We’re looking at various sports because, in the park, there’s tennis, bowls, rugby and football. |

Dont loose heart robin, it happens, but if we were talking your thread, the spiders name was awesome, and what about the rocking horse, treacherous. |

Robin I am sorry if you found my reply dismissive or abrupt, it wasn't my intention to offend you. |

So, there was the banger, the witch's hat (aka the ocean wave), the rocking horse (Bonnie Bright Eyes), the spider's web and the swings. Happy days! |

Happy Days.On most of those rides you had to hang on for your life. We need a swimming baths in Silsden. They spent half the money raised on that Bowling club Building. Swimming Baths is what Silsden needs. |

Good idea, Alan! We could have an appeal fund, as long as it goes better than the last time when, if I recall correctly, the treasurer murdered his wife and legged it with the money! |

Have a look at the pool on Hothfield St, in the school grounds, you will see the result of the last effort to get a swimming pool in silsden. |

PLEASE have a look at wot the school has to offer. www.swimstart.org.uk/ We are a Registered Charity aiming to provide affordable, quality swimming lessons for young children aged from birth - 9 years. We operate from the John Stanley Bell Memorial Pool situated in the grounds of Hothfield Junior School, Hothfield Street, Silsden. Children in all our classes apart from Cygnets are unaccompanied by a parent/carer in the water. We have four ability groups, Ducklings (Pre-School, instructor in the water), Tadpoles (Beginners), Otters (Improvers) and Stingrays (Advanced). Children usually start as a Duckling or Tadpole and progress naturally through the groups according to skill, stamina and ability to concentrate. We have Tadpole, Otter & Stingray lessons every night of the week from approximately 4pm until 7pm and also Saturday and Sunday mornings. We hold Duckling lessons on Tuesday & Wednesday mornings from 10am until 1pm and Thursday from 12 noon until 3pm. Cygnet lessons (under 3's) are held on Tuesday & Wednesday mornings; Thursdays afternoons; Friday lunchtime (12:15 pm) and Saturdays (12 noon). There are generally no more than 10 children in each group with only one lesson being taught at a time. There is no deep end at our pool, the pool has a constant depth which is good at building children's confidence when they are learning to swim. Parents can watch the lessons from the side of the pool and sit there with smaller children if necessary. All our teaching staff hold either Amateur Swimming Associa tion or Swimming Teacher’s Association Teaching Qualifications and our lifeg uards hold current Lifeguarding Qualifications. |
