Chairman’s Ramblings…As I write this article at the beginning of May, hopefully we are emerging from whathas been a cold, wet and windy weather in what seems to have been a very long winterand that May Day weekend is the start of our Summer.The weather has a great bearing on the success of Shelf Gala, a fine sunny day makesall the difference to the numbers of people through the gates. We have no control overthe weather as the committee start planning and organising the Gala way back in thecold, dark nights of November.Over the last few years we have been reasonably lucky with the weather, sometimes abit dull and a few small showers. Last year was no exception, the weather was great.As chairman though it was a bit of a strange year for me, I was just recovering from aheart bypass operation and was told by the committee that I was doing nothing. I wasat the gala and did a small job in the arena, playing music and looking after thegenerator and seeing the acts in the arena. I have done 26 years on the committee andthat is the first year I have done no lifting and shifting and seen the arena in itsentiretythanks to a great and hard working committee. It was good for me, a relativelyeasy day – I don’t know what I can wangle this year though?This year we have some great entertainment in the arena with a great local group SelahSounds on the stage and in the Arena York Birds of Prey Display along with theMagpie Movers, a local dance and fitness group from Halifax; Imperial Crusaders, alocal marching band; Dance Stars, a local dance troupe from Woodside and HalifaxRugby League Cheerleaders.Thank you again to all our sponsors and advertisers who support us year after year, toShelf Junior Football Club or organising our five a side football competition, toColletts Transport for loan of wagon for stage and to all our hard working volunteerswho help year on year and of course you… the general public who attend and spendeach year. Your support is greatly appreciated by ourselves and of course the recipientsof our donationsAs ever our aim is to provide a great family day out for Shelf and surrounding districtsand raise funds to donate to local charities and organisations at our presentationevening held later in the year in October. Many thanksTrevor Priestley, Chairman, Shelf Gala Committee 2018

Our Out of School philosophy is all about a child’s need to play. Play is a biological, psychological and social necessity and is fundamental to

the healthy development and well being of individuals and communities.

At Shelf Out of School Club play is a process that is freely chosen,personally directed and intrinsically motivated. That is, our children determineand control the content and intent of their play, by following their own instincts,ideas and interests, in their own way for their own reasons. Children lead theplanning at Shelf Out of School Club and they tell us what fun activities they

would like to do, which makes for some fun times!

Our Childcare Practitioners prime focus is to support and facilitate the play process.

BREAKFAST CLUB – 7.30am – 8.55amBreakfast is from 7.30 am onwards. A choice of cereals, toast, spreads,

water and milk is offered.The cost is £6.50 per session.

AFTER SCHOOL CLUB – 3.15pm – 6.00pmFresh cut sandwich’s, a selection of raw vegetables and fresh fruit.

The cost is £10.50 per session.
