Lewis Haunch, from Leigh, in Greater Manchester, underwent emergency treatment in hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight yesterday.
Police were first alerted by staff from the festival at around 4.45pm on Saturday, August 27.
The boy had been taken to St James’ Hospital in Leeds by ambulance in a critical condition.
Today police said they had finished their initial questioning of two 17-year-old boys arrested in the Greater Manchester area on suspicion of drugs offences.
They have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Leeds Festival’s Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Keith Gilert, said: “Our thoughts are naturally with the family of the young man at this time. They were made aware of the incident by officers as soon as possible and were assisted to attend the hospital as quickly as possible. We will continue to support them through this difficult time.”
Investigations into Lewis’s death and how he got the drugs are ongoing.
Early enquiries have indicated that he took the drugs immediately before collapsing.
One festival-goer said she believed she saw the teenager as he was being treated by medics.
Hayley Briggs said: “It was right outside the guest area and the guy just looked in a very bad way.
“He was being cradled by one of the first aiders before the ambulance arrived.”
A report will be sent to the Coroner in due course, police said.
Mr Gilert added: “In partnership with the organisers, Festival Republic, we will continue to take action against those who risk the lives of others by supplying drugs.
“Anyone who has any concerns for either themselves or others at the Festival should contact Festival site or security staff or seek medical assistance.”

Knowing a victory was needed to keep pace at the top of the table in what was their game in hand on their main title rivals, the White Rose county backed up Gary Ballance’s decision not to follow-on on Wednesday by securing the win early in the afternoon session.

They needed just 34.3 overs to claim the final seven wickets as the visitors were bowled out for 146 chasing 452 to win and leave their own hopes of survival in Division One hanging in the balance.
They remain rooted bottom to the bottom of the table with three matches to play while Yorkshire stay second and well in the hunt for a third successive Championship title.
Despite heavy rain for much of the evening on the east coast, play got under way on time thanks in no part to the decision to transport the club’s ‘Blotter’ from Headingley to North Marine Road in the early hours of the morning.
The machine spent two hours drying the outfield, and Tim Bresnan was soon reaping the rewards as he had Tom Moores (41) caught by Adam Lyth at second slip from just the fourth ball of the morning.
Having taken two wickets in an over on the previous day, Bresnan continued his fine form with the ball, with Samit Patel the next to succumb to the England all-rounder as he feathered an edge through to wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Notts captain Chris Read fared little better as Bresnan picked up his fifth wicket, Jake Lehman the catcher at fourth slip, but Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton were able to forge a partnership to see Notts through to lunch.
The pair added 47 for the seventh wicket, but just three balls after the interval they were parted as Ryan Sidebottom found Hutton’s outside edge and Hodd took the simplest of catches.
That sparked a lower order collapse, as Brendan Taylor (38) pushed a wide ball from Jack Brooks to Alex Lees at cover and Luke Fletcher was bowled from the very next ball to leave Notts on the brink of defeat.
Imran Tahir was able to survive the hat-trick delivery, but he faced just three more deliveries before fending Brooks off to Lees at short-leg as the final four wickets fell in just three-and-a-half overs after lunch.
Bresnan finished with career best figures of 5-36 and his best in any first-class match across the two innings of eight for 51. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-day-four-tim-bresnan-s-career-best-return-in-white-rose-victory-1-8083613 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/9067f30eec1fe2efceb9ccfa81dbe0f0db7ffffdc4e9f94d431242b66a65a720.json |

The eight-time Gold Medal winner at the Chelsea Flower Show was selected to create a riverside garden by a panel at the Hepworth Wakefield.
The design will be modern, romantic, and “embued with overriding naturalism”, reflecting sculptor Barbara Hepworth’s “deep connection to the landscape.”
One of the highlights of the garden, which is around the size of two-and-a-half football pitches, will be a meadow sown with purple moor grass - found in Yorkshire marshes - as well as other more colourful and exotic species.
Mr Stuart-Smith said he was delighted to be chosen: “Public commissions like these are scarce in the UK.
“I am looking forward to working with the gallery to create a beautiful public space in this riverside setting that will be treasured by residents and visitors alike.”
Four shortlisted designs went on display in garden sheds outside the gallery last October.
Chair of The Hepworth Wakefield Trust David Liddiment said they’d had a “wonderful” response from the public and had taken their views into account, including leaving sculptures on display in the garden.
He added: ““We are absolutely thrilled to be working on this project with Tom Stuart-Smith, one of Britain’s top garden designers, to create a new public space for Wakefield which we believe will enhance the experience of visiting The Hepworth and crucially, attract tourism to the city, further boosting the local economy.
“I feel confident that Tom’s designs for the site will create a cohesive and inspiring landscape that will provide a free, year-round attraction for Wakefield.”
It comes as fundraisers announced a £250,000 gift from the Garfield Weston Foundation, one of the world’s largest charitable foundations, towards the £2.2m project.
The Hepworth’s director Simon Wallis said: “Our fundraising campaign for The Hepworth Riverside Gallery Garden is already underway and I’d like to warmly thank the Garfield Weston Foundation for their major gift. Their significant support has got the project off to a really positive start.”
He added: “Gardens and the Yorkshire landscape were a hugely important part of Barbara Hepworth’s creative life and they influenced her sculpture and its settings.
“It’s fitting, therefore, that we create a natural environment that would have inspired her, and that will have a rewarding all year round dialogue with our superb building and art collection.”
There will be beech hedges in the garden, to protect sensitive plants, and large and small trees scattered throughout.
Others on the shortlist for the garden design included Christopher Bradley Hole and Brita von Schoenaich, Cleve West, and Peter Wirtz.
More details about the garden will be released early next year. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/what-s-on/arts-entertainment/romantic-garden-design-chosen-for-hepworth-wakefield-1-8096052 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/dbda86afa90d39510c3e2a146a708efa199b7e6922d9b9557aa9dee5076a5155.json |

They top along list of big name local breaking local bands - including The Wired, Fighting Caravans and Faux Pas - who are being showcased at Leeds.
Local talent is joining the the likes of Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy - who played Leeds last night - Foals and Disclosure, who perform tonight, and Red Hot Chili Peppers who will close Leeds Festival this Bank Holiday weekend.

The Sherlocks, singer songwriter Kiaran Crook, 20, brother and drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.
But this is the biggest showcase weekend for the Bolton Upon Dearne indie quartet who have over 700 gigs to their name and have also just completed their first UK headline tour, selling out venues around the country, with their latest single Last Night getting lots of Radio 1 airplay.
Last year Kiaran, Brandon, Josh and Andy drew a huge number of fans before Sunday lunchtime at Reading, but a coveted evening slot on this year’s popular Festival Republic stage meant the crowds in the south were even bigger.
On a scorching summer evening the temperature in Berkshire was almost as high as the anticipation for the band of brothers’ 30 minute seven song set.
At exactly 5.45pm the lads, playing it cool as always, bounded on stage to kick off with single Last Night followed by favourites Escapade and Heart of Gold.
They continued with epic new song Candle Light, Live for the Moment and finished with Chasing Shadows as two giant beach balls flew back and forth across the arena.
Will You Be There?, which had one of its first plays at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, was another soaring highlight.
The huge Reading turn out for Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks
Almost all the sides to the huge festival tent were drawn back meaning the Sherlocks’ sound carried beyond the tent poles. More and more joined the audience as the gig went on and by the end of the set the place was rammed.
“That was astonishing” frontman Kiaran told us as he came off stage.
“Last year was truly memorable, but this year Reading has taken it to another level. We’re seeing crowd reactions we'd only ever seen in the north before.
“We love it down here and now we're buzzing even more for Leeds.”

An international break follows the Whites’ trip to Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, with the players having a week off before springing back into action with another seven games in 22 days before the second break.
With the season broken up into some intense periods it can be tough on players and it is hard to maintain form with the matches coming thick and fast.
With little time for training to improve things going wrong it is also hard on managers especially with patience in boardrooms so thin these days and winning records demanded.
But the breaks do give coaching staffs the chance to work with players not on international duty as they can use the extra time wisely on the training ground and this is what United boss Garry Monk will be planning.
After an underwhelming start to his time as Leeds head coach Monk is seeing signs of improvement as the players he has brought in begin to get used to doing what he is asking of them and he and fans will expect to see this improvement bear more fruits after the break coming up.
With such a big turn round of players – Leeds have so far signed 11 players this summer and have promoted a couple of under 19s into the first team squad – it is little wonder they have lacked consistency so far. But that excuse can only be used for a short time longer.
Despite the early problems the Whites can actually climb into the top half of the table if results go right for them this weekend and they can beat Nottingham Forest.
Leeds go into Saturday’s game on the back of three games unbeaten - a slightly fortunate draw against Fulham followed by a deserved 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday and a 1-0 EFL Cup win at Luton with a team showing 11 changes - and if they can make it seven points from three league games they will regard it as a solid start despite the defeats in the opening two matches.
The biggest positive is that strikers Chris Wood and Marcus Antonsson have scored five goals between them in the first five matches, including the first round EFL Cup tie at Fleetwood.
It is always important for the forwards to be hitting the target to build their confidence and the duo could be the key at Forest, who have conceded 10 goals in their first four league games.
Early signs are that Forest are playing a more expansive game this season as they have also found the net eight times so will offer some threat to a Leeds backline that kept its first clean sheet last Saturday after themselves conceding eight goals in their first four outings.
Kyle Bartley and Liam Cooper appear to be Monk’s preferred centre-back combination, although the partnership of Sol Bamba and new signing Pontus Jansson did help keep a clean sheet at Luton.
Luke Ayling appears to have settled in quickly at right-back in the absence of the injured Gaetano Berardi while Charlie Taylor has been an ever present so far at left-back despite continue rumours that United would sell him if they can find a replacement in his position.
They also have another youngster waiting in the wings in Tyler Denton, who scored the winner at Luton on his debut at left-back. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/goal-hungry-strikers-hold-key-for-leeds-united-at-forest-1-8086130 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/e628602337e0bf689653d3937df36037a9e011145606f98e718f057031fbc870.json |

The Californian funk rockers pulled by a long way the biggest crowd of the weekend as more than 50,000 made their way to the main field to see the headline act - and the band responded by delivering a classy show.
Right from opening with a blistering rendition of Can’t Stop followed by two of their greatest songs, Dani California and Scar Tissue, to an encore finale of oldie Give It Away, they were in sharp form and were much better than in their previous top slot at this festival.
Not afraid to slow the pace down a little, the Chili Peppers also included classics Californication and Under The Bridge in their near two-hour set.
There was none of the pyrotechnics of Fall Out Boy on the opening day or the lighting show put on by Disclosure on Saturday, but the audience did not seem to mind as it was the music doing the talking this time.
On a strong day on the main stage, other highlights were provided by Imagine Dragons and their energetic set and Manchester’s Courteneers with their sing-along honest indie. Slaves provided some rawness and Eagles Of Death Metal pulled a big afternoon crowd with their own brand of guitar rock.
There was another “I was there” moment mid afternoon when You Me At Six, normally a main stage act these days, played a surprise set on the small Pit stage. But everyone seemed to know they were playing, particularly after doing the same thing at Reading a day earlier, and fans were 50 deep outside the tent with room inside full long before the band came on.
The Pit finished with a bang in the shape of heavy rockers Mastodon and also saw sets from Dillinger Escape Plan, Milk Teeth and Heck.
Talking of packed tents, there was no room inside the Alternative Stage arena when Billy Bailey was on and treating fans to a fantastic mix of stand-up and musical wizardry.
It was a brilliant way to end a brilliant weekend of comedy on a stage that just seems to get better each year at this event.
Earlier in the day there were plenty of laughs provided by Marcus Brigstocke - and his outstanding handling of an annoying heckler - Dane Baptiste, Lee Nelson and Carl Donnelly with Leeds compere Dan Nightingale also doing a fine job.
The NME/ BBC Radio 1 Stage was full several times, notably when band of the moment Blossoms played a quality set that showed why they are expected to be a main stage band next year.
Two Door Cinema Club had the honour of closing the weekend on this stage while Nas, Krept & Konan and Jack Garratt were other attractions.
The Festival Republic Stage finished on a high with Brian Fallon and the Crowes and saw a classy set from York-born singer-songwriter Lapsley as well as promising acts Vant, The White Room and the fantastically named King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Another no-show saw a late change on the BBC 1 Extra Stage with Travi$ Scott pulling out, but Stormzy stepped into the breach to do a good job and head up a line-up that included Section Boyz, Logic and Bugzy Malone.
The non appearances have been something of a running theme this year with Parkway Drive unable to take up their early afternoon slot on the main stage.
But it was hats off to Skindred who did half-an hour extra and new band Judas, who were given their big chance as a very late replacement.
So that’s it for the 2016 Leeds Festival. It did not pass without problems - no shows of certain booked acts, the tragic drugs related death of a young fan reported last night and the awful weather on the Saturday after the torrential downpour of Thursday night had already left the field and car parks muddy. But many more memorable moments were added to the festival history and no doubt preparations are all under way to do it again in 2017. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/red-hot-finale-to-leeds-festival-1-8094237 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/8a270f0bf1b55c4edd17d6fb3583fea73180bb613b40bad22f2308e6a68bb8e7.json |

In a statement on Sunday, the England and Wales Cricket Board said that an X-ray to Willey’s left hand, his bowling hand, had “not excluded a significant injury”, casting doubt on his participation for the rest of the season considering that the summer has only a month or so to run.
But a second scan yesterday revealed that there is no fracture to the hand that Willey injured when he was struck by a fierce return drive from Mark Stoneman, the Durham batsman, during NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston on Saturday.
It is now being suggested that Willey could even feature in the second one-day international at Lord’s on Saturday, with the five-match series starting in Southampton tomorrow.
Jake Ball, the Nottinghamshire seamer who was called up to replace Willey, will stay with the national squad and therefore be unavailable for the County Championship game against Yorkshire at Scarborough, which starts this morning.
Stuart Broad, the England pace bowler, has also been withdrawn from Notts’ squad for the fixture at North Marine Road pending a scan on his left ankle.
Both second-placed Yorkshire and bottom club Notts are depleted due to injuries and international calls as they each look to bounce back from losing in the T20 semi-finals.
Alex Lees, the Yorkshire one-day captain, said that there was no time to dwell on that setback as the county champions seek a win that would significantly strengthen their hopes of a hat-trick of titles.
“We don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves because there’s some big games coming up in the next five or six weeks, starting with Notts,” said Lees.
“It’s a massive game against a team who have struggled for form this year, and if we can play our brand of cricket, I’m sure that we’ll put pressure on them over the four days.”
Lees said Yorkshire are relishing the chance to get Saturday’s disappointment out of their system.
“The opportunity to get back up and running in a different competition with a win, and so soon after the disappointment of Saturday, is a great incentive,” he said. “We need to show the character that this group has become renowned for in recent years.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/second-scan-clears-willey-for-action-as-yorkshire-get-ready-for-notts-1-8083100 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/79d67da184573764d86dfd5ce1ea9541d622c4f3651fd6aa8cfbefe2a0fdaf34.json |

Royal Mail worker Phil Chapman couldn’t believe his eyes when he spotted this cat like creature roaming around the countryside near Wakefield.
Mr Chapman, 48, was staying at the Redbeck Motel in Crofton when he captured the animal, believed to be a big cat, on camera, as it was prowling through nearby fields.
He said it emerged from the bushes at around 8pm on Wednesday.
Mr Chapman, from North Yorkshire, said: “I was on the phone to a friend looking out of the window at the fields, watching the rabbits, and this big cat just came through the hedgerow.
“It was just casually walking across the field.
“It’s clearly not a domestic cat.”
He added: “Whereas normally these things are a case of blink and it’s gone, this was in no rush to get across the field.”
Mr Chapman said the animal looked similar to a a panther.
But he hopes an expert will be able to shed more light, based on its characteristics.
He said: “It will be interesting to know what it was. I know there are big domestic cats but it certainly didn’t look like one.”
It is not the first time a “big cat” has been spotted in the district.
There have been several reported sightings of the ‘Beast Of Ossett’, which hit national headlines in 2000. Observers likened it to a big black Irish wolfhound.
Three years later there was a report of a large black cat stalking the village of Wintersett.
There were also sightings of a panther or puma like beast roaming between Alverthorpe and Ossett in 2006.
An animal, smaller than a Labrador but bigger than a cat, was spotted along a disused railway track between Wintersett and Newmillerdam in 2009.
And a “panther-like beast” was spotted roaming farmland in Notton in 2011.
Last year, there were also reports of a big cat on farmland near Kirkthorpe.
Mr Chapman quickly ended his phone call to catch this latest creature on camera.
He said: “I was surprised. I was trying to get a bit of actual proof of what it was on video. It was so clear to the visual eye.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/big-cat-captured-on-video-panther-like-beast-spotted-in-countryside-1-8091437 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/0a5cf33eef888e48ae944e7baaf8cca50ef23399e67e00c49af8fde0ab730ae5.json |

Sporting celebrations will take place across the city on Saturday to mark their homecoming.
And Wakefield Council is encouraging people to take part in activities, inspired by the athlete’s achievements.
It is backing the national ‘I am Team GB’ campaign by holding a series of hour-long free swims at the district’s pools as well as inviting people to try out running at Thornes Park Stadium’s athletics track.
Coun Les Shaw, the council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and sport, said: “Watching Team GB at the Olympic Games has been amazing with great performances from so many athletes.

“We also want to wish our Paralympic athletes – Leah Evans, Sophie Carrigill and Jamie Stead all the best in Rio when the Games start on Wednesday, September 7.
“I hope the ‘I am Team GB’ campaign will inspire children and adults to take the chance to go and try a sport and have fun.”
The national initiative, organised by The National Lottery and ITV and supported by Team GB sportsmen and women, aims to create the nation’s biggest sports day.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has deemed Millfields Residential Home in Pontefract inadequate in all areas.
During a visit between May 31 and June 3, inspectors found that there was no lock the front door and bedroom doors were left open when people were using commodes.
Debbie Westhead, deputy chief inspector of Adult Social Care in the North, said: “We were very concerned that vulnerable people using this service were not being kept safe in the most basic of ways.”
The home provides accommodation, personal care and support for up to 38 older people, some of whom might also have a physical disability and or dementia.
A new CQC report states there was no lock on the front door and a glass panel in an external fire door was smashed.
It reads: “On the second day of our inspection we were able to walk in to the building and walk around unchallenged for 15 minutes.”
Equipment and furniture in the home was in need of repair and stains were discovered, it states.
Inspectors said that there was a lack of cleanliness and also a bad smell throughout the building.
People were not supervised sufficiently when taking medications, they added.
And inspectors said people were not treated with dignity and respect – bedroom doors were left open while people used commodes.
The report adds: “We saw people were being supported to get dressed before five am and then getting back into bed in their day clothes.”

Yorkshire were sufficiently concerned that rain would run their hopes of a final day victory against Nottinghamshire – after they had passed up the chance to enforce the follow-on on day two - that they arranged for their “Blotter” to be brought over at 5.00 yesterday morning from their Headingley headquarters some 70 miles away.

After two hours of blotting the saturated outfield, play was able to start on time and Yorkshire romped to a 305-run win after Notts resumed on 61-3.
Had there been an official man-of-the match, the “Blotter” would have been a strong contender, with Yorkshire’s 21-point triumph closing the gap to five points on leaders Middlesex.
If Yorkshire had not prevailed, they might have been tempted to get “blottoed” hours after calling for the “Blotter”, following their decision to bat again with a first innings lead of 188.
That decision, unanimous in the dressing room according to first team coach Jason Gillespie, was not quite so unanimous among the Yorkshire supporters, who could be heard debating it in and outside the ground for two days with all the gravitas of whether a nation should go to war.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan is congratulated by Ryan Sidebottom and team mates on dismissing Nottinghamshire's Tom Moores. Picture by Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
But, as William Shakespeare once scribbled, ‘all’s well that ends well”, and history will remember the result first and foremost.
For Gillespie, it was vindication of Yorkshire’s approach as they made suitably light work of the division’s bottom club after recovering from a perilous 51-6 on the opening day.
“It was the right call (to bat again),” said Gillespie.
“People had a pop at us for not enforcing the follow-on, but we stick by what we believe is the best opportunity to win the game of cricket, and we were vindicated there.
“The bottom line is, it was a very important result against a very good side.
“Having been 51-6 on the first day, to win by over 300 runs, this team never ceases to amaze me.
“I can’t be any more proud of them. There are no words to describe it.”
After the torrential rain of the previous night, the “Blotter” went about its business beneath sunny skies as summer returned to North Marine Road. Technically, it did its work so well that Notts even lost a wicket before the official start time of 11, with the clock showing 10.59 when Tom Moores fell to the day’s fourth ball.
Moores, the 19-year-old son of former England head coach Peter, had played with great maturity to make 41 on the third evening.
He had not added to his overnight score – and neither had Notts – when Tim Bresnan located his edge from the Trafalgar Square end, Adam Lyth doing the rest at second slip.
Notts fell to 77-5 when Samit Patel perished after half-an-hour, adjudged caught behind off Bresnan by umpire Neil Mallender.
Patel stood his ground in echoes of Michael Lumb’s dismissal the previous evening, when he, too, felt that Mallender had wrongly given him out caught behind, and the visitors’ cause became utterly hopeless when Bresnan claimed his fifth wicket, Chris Read edging to Jake Lehmann at fourth slip.
Bresnan has never had a six-wicket haul in his distinguished career, and this was only his eighth “five-fer” in first-class cricket.
He had to content himself with career-best figures of 5-36, and his best match haul of 8-51 too, his spell of 3-9 in 31 balls during an eight-over burst yesterday morning ensuring that there would be no unexpected resistance from the visiting team.
That is not to say that they put up the white flag, however, on a day when it would probably have blown away in any case such was the strength of the south-westerly wind. As the red-and-white pin-striped deckchairs flapped in front of the Festival marquee, and as the washing hanging outside the houses at the Trafalgar Square End enjoyed a late-summer airing, Notts showed fight through Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton.
The pair negotiated the 80 minutes remaining until lunch before Hutton fell to the third ball after the break, drawn forward by a tantalising delivery from Ryan Sidebottom from the Peasholm Park End and caught behind by wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Taylor fell to the third delivery of the next over when he lobbed a short ball from Jack Brooks to cover, having resisted gamely for over two-and-a-half hours, and Brooks bowled Luke Fletcher with the next delivery to leave Notts 130-9.
Brooks wrapped it up at 2pm in his next over, Imran Tahir turning to short-leg as the pace bowler ended with 4-35, Notts all out for 146. Yorkshire left the field to a standing ovation from the 2,676 crowd, which lifted the match attendance to 15,283, a ringing endorsement for England’s finest outground. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/tim-bresnan-and-blotter-combine-to-vindicate-yorkshire-s-scarborough-tactics-1-8092010 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/e99d82b8ebfefc0efa45557b7f595cd08f35f9ddeb9a94aa31b44748e6d904e6.json |

New president Terry Etherington said: “The strength of this club is how we help each other. It’s a very friendly club.
“Like all hobbies, photography is an art in which there is lots to learn, especially in this digital world where we not only need to know how to use the camera but also possess some knowledge in computer enhancement.
“After being a member for over ten years - a new starter compared to some members - I have gained so much from joining Ossett and District Camera Club.”
Mr Etherington, who took over the presidency from Harry Whitehead, will share his knowledge of Photoshop during the optional Digi Club Night. It will meet on the first Tuesday of each month from September to May.
Final checks by Ian Sykes
He added: “It’s amazing where a camera will take you in pursuit of that exceptional photograph. However, if touring the country is not your forte, or you think your camera will not suffice, don’t worry as some of my best images have been taken within a couple of miles of home on a basic compact camera.”
The club’s main meetings are at Ossett War Memorial Community Centre every Thursday at 7.30pm. The first meeting will be an open night with prints on display. There will also be refreshments. All welcome.

The teenager, who was from the Greater Manchester area, underwent emergency treatment in hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.
Police were first alerted by staff from Leeds Festival shortly after 4.45pm.
The boy had been taken to St James’ Hospital by ambulance in a critical condition.
As two teenagers remain in custody on suspicion of drugs offences, the police have warned other festivalgoers against taking drugs.
Leeds Festival’s Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Keith Gilert, said: “Our thoughts are naturally with the family of the young man at this time. They were made aware of the incident by officers as soon as possible and were assisted to attend the hospital as quickly as possible. We will continue to support them through this difficult time.
“I would though like to take this opportunity to remind anyone attending the Festival that there is no safe way to take drugs. Taking any illegal drug carries a risk to health and we would always advise people against it, but I would ask that people are particularly conscious of the risks following this young man’s death.”
Investigations into his death and how he got the drugs are ongoing.
Early enquiries have indicated that he took the drugs immediately before collapsing.
Two 17-year-olds, also from the Greater Manchester area have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and are currently in custody.
A report will be sent to the Coroner in due course.
Chf Supt Gilert added: “In partnership with the organisers, Festival Republic, we will continue to take action against those who risk the lives of others by supplying drugs.”
“Anyone who has any concerns for either themselves or others at the Festival should contact Festival site or security staff or seek medical assistance.”

The 23-year-old opening batsman, who took over the leadership of Yorkshire’s one-day sides last December, has helped mastermind a stunning turnaround in form which sees Yorkshire as favourites with most bookmakers to lift the trophy.
As a young and inexperienced captain, Lees must have felt the pressure of Yorkshire’s poor start to the tournament more than most.

But he has shown great character and maturity to help get their campaign back on track, and he said he is relishing the chance to lead them out at Edgbaston today.
“Definitely. It’s always an honour to represent the White Rose, so the opportunity to lead the side in a Finals Day is massive,” said Lees, who is Yorkshire’s youngest full-time limited overs captain having taken over the role from Championship leader Andrew Gale.
“I’ve not been to a Finals Day as a player before, but I have watched a few on television.
“The atmosphere is always electric, and I can’t wait to get out there and, hopefully, we can play some good cricket and entertain the crowd.”
Yorkshire go into today’s event with confidence high after seven wins in their last eight T20 games.
Lees attributes the transformation to the players discovering a sense of belief.
“We were obviously disappointed with the early-season results, but we never felt that we were far away from playing some very good cricket,” said Lees.
“I think the turning point in our white-ball cricket this season was Lythy’s (Adam Lyth) knock against Northants at Scarborough (in the Royal London Cup).
“He played with real freedom that day, and that has given the rest of the squad confidence to go out and express themselves in both competitions.
“We’ve got a lot of talented players, and everyone understands their roles and we’ve backed ourselves and taken a very positive approach, looking to put as much pressure as possible on the opposition.
“Hopefully, we can take take approach into the semi-final against Durham.”
Lees is expecting a tough test against a Durham team boosted by the return of England’s Ben Stokes. But he believes that his own side have more than enough firepower to beat them.
“Durham are a very good side with some very experienced players who know their games inside out,” said Lees.
“We will have to play very well to defeat them and to progress to the final, but we know that we have the players on the day to do just that.
“We’ve been playing some great T20 cricket at just the right time, and I’m confident in the strength of our team. Everyone’s been contributing, and it’s a proper team effort to get to this stage.”
No-one has contributed more than Lees, who is Yorkshire’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 272 at 22.66.
He is just ahead of David Willey, who has hit 269 runs at 29.88, while Lyth, Jack Leaning and Kane Williamson have also scored more than 200 runs for the county in this year’s competition, with Williamson having featured briefly as an overseas player before rejoining New Zealand for international action.
Tim Bresnan leads Yorkshire’s wicket-taking list with 20 at 16.20, with spinners Adil Rashid (14 at 18.85) and Azeem Rafiq (13 at 18.69) coming next on the chart.
“I feel like I’ve been hitting the ball nicely all season,” said Lees, who made 85 and 114 not out in the draw against Lancashire in the County Championship at Old Trafford last week.
“It was nice to get some runs in the Roses game, and, hopefully, I can take that form into the semi-final.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/t20-finals-day-adam-lyth-s-knock-the-spark-for-yorkshire-s-white-ball-momentum-alex-lees-1-8078722 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/31df57c512027eb490658f7bfb2707674a08022ba722373012f5e482e5a1af12.json |

The ale makers are staging their annual open day at Low Mill Road on September 3 to raise funds for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
They want to build on the £30,000 the event has raised for the charity over recent years.
The 1pm to 7pm event will include live music from five local bands, brewery tours, kids entertainment, a selection of food stalls and 16 pumps serving Ossett beers.
Organiser Becci Lewis said: “In addition to the main bar serving our cask and craft keg beers we’ll have a couple of street food vans, wine, cocktails and even alcoholic ices! Visitors will have a chance to look around the brewery and understand how we brew beer.
“We have a great line up of bands – who have all waived their fee to support Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice. We particularly support Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice as they care for children and their families across Wakefield, Calderdale and Kirklees which is a similar geography as our own heartland.”
The open day will also include a grand raffle with prizes including a £100 high street voucher, tickets to Leeds Rhinos v Batley Bulldogs, a four ball at Leeds Golf Club and a huge amount of beer.
Bob Lawson, founder and chairman of Ossett Brewery added: “The annual open day allows us to give something back to the local community while raising money for a really good cause. We’ve our fingers crossed for a hot day which will help the atmosphere and hopefully mean we can raise around £10,000 for a really worth cause.”
The brewery is at the bottom of Heeley Road.

THE brilliant Brownlee brothers returned to Yorkshire with their Olympic medals proudly hung around their necks - before revealing they couldn’t wait to tuck into some good old Yorkshire fish and chips.
Having taken gold and silver in the triathlon, Leeds-based Alistair and Jonny, flew back into the UK on Tuesday along with their history-making Team GB colleagues.
Rio was the UKs most successful Games on foreign soil with an astonishing 67 medals in the bag, exceeding the tally from the London Games of 2012 and setting many records along the way.
Yorkshire itself brought home 14 medals with five gold, five silver and four bronze, Alistair Brownlee just pipping his brother to the triathlon gold and leaving Jonny to pick up the silver.
And from the moment they set foot in Leeds Bradford airport there was one thing on their mind.
“Bramhope Fisheries is calling!!!” said Jonny as he prepared to go home for the first time since his epic Olympic feat.

And both brothers could certainly be forgiven for treating themselves after a tough few weeks preparing for their event, although this weekend will see them both back in action with Jonny racing and Alistair training.
“Its fantastic to be home, it has been a long few months away training with the Olympics in mind... and it was long journey home from Rio itself, so to be home is fantastic,” added Alistair.
Alistair now expects to bid for a hat-trick of triathlon golds at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
“I still think 32 should be an age to be competitive at,” he said. “I definitely want to do other things at some point - like the Ironman or long-distance racing - but it is too hard to say I wouldn’t go to another Olympics. I will probably be there.”

Just as he did in London, Brownlee - who underwent ankle surgery in August last year - blew away the field to become the first triathlete to win two gold medals.
He collapsed on the line, hugging his brother Jonny in one of the famous images of the Games.
And the eldest of the Yorkshire duo added that their unique family partnership proved crucial in fending off their rivals to seal a historic one-two finish.
“We both know how important we have been, pushing each other on over the years,” Brownlee added.
“From everything, to just motivation to get out of the door in the morning - if you know your little brother is going to go training you are going to go training, too - to being able to travel the world together. That has been really important over the years.
“Over the last three months we have done almost every session together, even the very hard sessions where we are pushing each other as hard as we can.
“There is no-one else in the world that can do that with each other, but we have done that time and time again, four or five times a week in the last three months, and that has been absolutely crucial.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/more-local-sport/yorkshire-medal-heroes-brownlee-brothers-return-home-with-a-craving-for-fish-and-chips-1-8085017 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/ccc537c98fe2c725217508f8a81aa119670dabb8789e0cf73d14eb1fc93fd02f.json |

Sally Hobson, 13, roped her family into walking the Yorkshire three peaks after her grandparents were the first people in Wakefield to be helped by an Admiral Nurse.
Michael Brown, 80, has had dementia for around six years, leaving his wife Margaret in need of support.
The family were the first to be helped by Matthew Burns, who was a appointed as the district’s admiral nurse after a fundraising campaign.
Admiral Nurses specialise in looking after people with dementia and their families and carers, providing practical and emotional support.
They can also help people to understand the condition and its effects, as well as the skills needed to improve how you communicate with someone living with it.
Mr Burns helped the family through the emotional process of moving Michael into a nursing home.
On her fundraising web page Sally urged people to sponsor the walk to get another Admiral nurse for the district.
She wrote: “He still stays in touch with my grandma and supports her through tough decisions concerning my granddad. However, one Admiral Nurse cannot help everyone in the Wakefield area.
“We are trying to raise money for Dementia UK so they can get more people like Matthew.
“Please give what you can so we can make a change.”
Mum Emma added: “It got to the point where my mum couldn’t look after him on her own.
“There was lack of mobility and communication.
“There was also the battle with social services and the stress of trying to get help. A lot of people don’t realise that.
“Matthew came in and took all that stress away from my mum. It’s a big weight off your shoulders.”
Mr Burns was appointed after Sheila Wainwright raised more than £30,000 and convinced health bosses to commission an Admiral Nurse after the death of her husband, John, from Alzheimer’s.
Local community groups helped her to raise the cash, as well as a concert by Brighouse and Rastrick Band.
The Hobson family, of Sandal, will walk the three peaks on September 3.

It coincides with the start of a new season of the hit BBC One show.
Strictly's most successful couple, now parents to one-year-old Valentina Rose, are returning to their family's City Limits Dancentre studio in Penistone Road, Sheffield.
They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.
Darren, aged 39, and his Moscow wife Lilia, 37, are the most successful competitor couple of their generation, winning four British amateur championships, three UK championships and representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships.
They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.
At his first attempt Darren, dancing with Jill Halfpenny from Eastenders, won the show and then went on to win the Champion of Champions dance off.
In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.

With the heavens opening and several torrential downpours throughout the afternoon and evening the usually picturesque but already muddy site was turned into a quagmire and made it hard going for the main stage acts whose audiences were feeling the full brunt of the weather.
On what turned into a tough day for everyone it was pretty much downhill after a bright start provided by Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls who celebrated 10 successive years of playing the festival with a midday opening slot that attracted a bigger than usual crowd for the first act and put all who saw it in the mood for a party.
Blowing away any cobwebs and hangovers the crowd had, the singer-songwriter and his band entertained superbly as Turner got fans to join in a circle pit and a wall of hugs instead of the more usual wall of death found at metal gigs. Of course, Frank wanted to join in and finished by jumping off stage for a crowd surf. He will be much missed if he is true to his word and gives the event a miss next year.
While Disclosure, Foals and Chvrches went on to appear on the main stage, the other biggest highlights of day two came in the tents.
Heavy rain naturally drives people to look for the shelter of the tents and all the “indoor” stages were pretty much packed to the rafters throughout.
Top marks for best of the show of the day had to go to Twenty One Pilots in the NME/ BBC Radio 1 Stage.
Headliners they were not - that honour went to Jack U - but they acted like they were and pulled out all the stops to entertain with various costume changes, acrobatics, drumming and singing in the middle of the crowd and the most unusual crowd surf you are ever likely to see.
This was huge entertainment to back up the eclectic music delivered by a duo set to be future main stage headliners on this evidence. With too many people to fit in the huge tents, they had fans dancing in the rain on the edges and it was a real “I was there” show.
Dance beats came to the fore elsewhere with Wiley on the BBC 1 Extra Stage and Oliver Heldens on the Radio 1 Dance Stage.
But there was good old indie to be found on the Festival Republic Stage in the shape of the old and the new - the old provided by Maximo Park who were lovingly received on their return to the festival after a number of years absent and the new by teenagers Blaenavon and South Yorkshire’s rising stars The Sherlocks.
There was a good Yorkshire element on this stage with Leeds rockers Pulled Apart By Horses second from top in the running order and giving an energetic performance in front of a crowd every bit as big as it was for headliners Maximo Park.
More rock music of the heavier variety was provided at The Pit, where Asking Alexandria topped the bill, supported by the likes of Americans Thrice and Leeds’ own Dinosaur Pile Up.
For another “I was there” moment it had to be on the Alternative Stage where Russell Howard pulled a huge audience for his stand-up spot.
Interacting magnificently with the crowd, he mixed stories he had prepared with spur of the moment jokes inspired by members of the audience and went down a storm. If ever there was a comedian made for a festival it is Russell Howard.
The support cast on this stage was pretty good too with Mark Steel delivering some great political gags and some classy stand-up coming from three talented ladies, Shappi Khorsandi, Sara Pascoe and Angela Barnes.
The Leeds Festival continues into day three, weather permitting, with highlights set to include main stage headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, Two Doors Cinema Club, Nas and Blossoms on the NME/ BBC Radio 1 Stage and Bill Bailey on the Alternative Stage. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/mudbath-conditions-dominate-second-day-of-leeds-festival-1-8092983 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/17f96e2b268e03074e15aa45753436434c320c188fbe1ff890a19074128c6193.json |

Police are looking for around five men in connection with the “nasty attack” in the Kaye Arms car park on Wakefield Road, Grange Moor, at 6.30pm yesterday.
The victim was travelling alone in her car along Wakefield Road when she saw a green Nissan Terrano being driven erratically behind her.
She then pulled into the car park of the Kaye Arms and the Nissan Terrano followed her and drove into her vehicle.
The men pulled her out of the car and stole jewellery from her before fleeing along Wakefield Road.
Their Nissan was then abandoned a couple of minutes later in a car park at the Lepton Liberal Working Mens Club, also on Wakefield Road.
The culprits then made off through nearby woods and on to the Morrisons car park.
DS Scott Hartley of Kirklees CID said: “This was a particularly nasty attack on a woman simply going about her daily business.
“It was also committed in broad day light in a busy area.
“I am confident people will have seen either the incident itself in the pub car park or the vehicle being abandoned a few miles away.
“There will have also been people who will have been doing their shopping in the Morrisons car park who could have seen people coming out of the woods that are next to the site.”
The woman was left with minor injuries.
She did not require hospital treatment
Police now want to speak to the men in connection with the incident.
They are all described as white, aged between 20 and 30 and wearing balaclavas.
It is thought that the vehicle passed through the Wakefield and Leeds areas.
If you have information contact police on 101 quoting log 1430 of August 30. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/balaclava-clad-thugs-pulled-woman-from-her-car-outside-country-pub-1-8098010 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/d534a6862b85426332c07446003034d54c7ee878990566521e85decdd366fb43.json |

Sharon Dale reports.
Sir Patrick Stewart bid a tearful farewell to his Yorkshire Dales bolt hole after it went under offer to a local man who has dreamed of owning it since he was a boy.
Scar Top House
The celebrated stage actor, who became an international film star playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek: The Next Generation series, bought Scar Top House 25 years ago at the height of his Hollywood fame.
He put the secluded home on the market for £535,000 with Dale Eddison last month and, after a flurry of viewings, he agreed to sell it to someone who has long admired the secluded, stone-built property in Hebden, near Grassington.
Estate agent Amanda May, manager of Dale Eddison's Skipton branch, said: “We had a lot of interest from all over the country but particularly from the north. A sale has been agreed with a local Dalesman who has wanted to own the house since he was a little boy. It’s a lovely story. Sir Patrick came to say farewell to the house and it was quite emotional.” She adds: “There was a fair bit of disappointment from people who didn’t end up being the buyer. We conducted well over 30 viewings and there were five people who wanted to buy it. “
The half mile track leading to the house was a turn-off for some would-be buyers but is one of the main reasons why Sir Patrick bought the four-bedroom property. He wanted an escape from the spotlight and came up with the idea of buying a country home in his native Yorkshire when driving down a fume-filled highway in Los Angeles.
The cosy inglenook fireplace
“I was pretty much resident in LA by then thanks to the filming but as I drove into the smog I was suddenly gripped by the thought of buying a house in the Yorkshire Dales. It was bizarre. I was fearful of losing myself to Hollywood in the way I’d seen other British stage actors do and I wanted a toehold in England, somewhere to come home to.”
The Mirfield-born actor found himself longing for the feelings of contentment he experienced as a teenager in the 1950s when he cycled out into the Dales on his push bike, leaving the mines and the mills of his home town far behind.
“The Dales captured my heart from a very young age,” said Sir Patrick.
His brother, who still lived in Yorkshire, lined up a series of homes for him to view, including Scar Top House. It offered everything he craved. Remote and surrounded by moorland, it gave him seclusion, sensational views and it was a world away from the Hollywood spotlight.
The country kitchen
“It was more remote than I envisaged but the views are amazing and it is very private, which has been helpful,” he said.
He invited his family in England to draw up a holiday rota so the house could be used when he wasn’t there. When he was, it was quite often alone. There were times when he would fly from LA to London before taking a plane to Leeds-Bradford airport and then a taxi to Hebden, just to spend a day at Scar Top. “It was madness but the draw of the house was so powerful. It was my bolthole, my retreat. I loved being in that landscape and I enjoyed hiking. I’d go for 20-mile hikes and not see another person. The local people were very respectful of my privacy too, especially the wonderful couple who had the Post Office. Visitors used to ask them where I lived and they’d say ‘he doesn’t live round here’.”
Back in America, where he has just filmed the third Wolverine movie and episodes of TV series Blunt Talk, his Dales home has helped him to sleep. He imagines himself walking up the track and is in the Land of Nod before he gets to the top.
After buying the property, he insulated the roof, furnished with oak furniture from nearby Grassington company Royal Oak and converted a barn into a garage. More recently, he has used the the house less, which is why he is selling it.
The dining area
He now divides his time between a home in the Cotswolds, close to stage work, and a property in Brooklyn, which he shares with his wife, singer-songwriter Sunny Ozell.
Sir Patrick still has close ties to Yorkshire and will not be a stranger to his home county. He still has family here, supports Huddersfield University, where he was Chancellor, and is a Huddersfield Town football club fan.

Once again Bramham Park is hosting a huge weekend of music and entertainment and it all starts with State Champs on the main stage, Black Foxxes over on the NME/ BBC Radio 1 Stage and sharp Irish comic Andrew Maxwell in the comedy tent around noon tomorrow.
The festival is into its 18th year and shows no sign of slowing down with more than 300 acts set to entertain across nine stages over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Big names from the rock, indie and dance worlds mix with the hot up and comers and some of the country’s finest comedy talents in the north of England’s biggest festival.
This year varies from past events with five headline acts on the main stage instead of the usual three - Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy share top of the bill honours on Friday and Foals and Disclosure are joint headliners the following day.
It all wraps up with festival favourites Red Hot Chili Peppers as the main attraction on Sunday night.
A strong opening day line-up sees the joint headliners joined by indie favourites The Vaccines on a main stage line-up that also includes A$AP Rocky and rockers Five Finger Death Punch and Sleeping With Sirens.
Further first day highlights are likely to come from one of the bands of the moment, The 1975, who are headlining the NME/BBC Radio 1 Stage where The Wombats, Savages and Rat Boy are also likely to attract big crowds.
The Lock Up Stage has some great bands on with Good Charlotte top of the bill in their first return to the festival for ages, re-formed band The King Blues set to get the crowd moving and thinking and plenty of pop punk highlights through the day.
The excitement is sure to go on into the second day with Frank Turner opening up proceedings with a special first on slot on the main stage with his band The Sleeping Souls.
The festival veteran never fails to entertain in whatever guise he is appearing and this year he is setting the record for most appearances at the event.
Later in the day it is a bit of an eclectic line-up with Lower than Atlantis, Die Antwoord and Chvrches offering varied fare before the joint headliners.
Elsewhere, Oliver Heldens is a big name on the BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage while Asking Alexandria head up The Pit line-up and Maximo Park make a welcome return as Festival Republic Stage headliners. This stage will also see performances from Leeds’ Pulled Apart By Horses and South Yorkshire band The Sherlocks.
One of the biggest crowds of the day is sure to be over on the Alternative Stage where Russell Howard - used to packing them into arenas on his tours - is appearing to do a stand-up set.
Sunday’s strong main stage line-up includes Imagine Dragons, Courteeners and Eagles Of Death Metal as well as Red Hot Chili Peppers so decent weather will be helpful.
Two Door Cinema Club headline the NME/ BBC Radio 1 Stage where Nas and Sigma will be offering something different and current album chart toppers Blossoms are surprisingly seventh down the list..
Another big name headlines the Alternative Stage with Bill Bailey set to appear while the band reputed to be the loudest in the world, Mastodon, end proceedings in The Pit.

Yorkshire failed in their attempt to win the NatWest T20 Blast for the first time when they lost by seven runs to Durham in the semi-final at Edgbaston on Saturday.
However, Gillespie’s men are still in the hunt for a hat-trick of County Championships and they are through to the Royal London Cup semi-finals for a second successive season, with Yorkshire determined to put behind them their T20 heartbreak.
“We were bitterly disappointed to lose the T20 semi,” said Gillespie, “but there’s still everything to play for in the next few weeks.
“We’re still in the 50-over comp and the Championship, and we’ll dust ourselves down and crack on.
“We can look back on the T20 campaign by and large with a lot of pride, considering the way that we started the tournament (Yorkshire won only one of their first seven games before winning six of the last seven to reach the knockout stages).
“It’s a tough one to take, losing the semi, but there’s still plenty to fight for in the next few weeks, and I know that the lads will bounce back strongly.”
Yorkshire came up against a world-class display from England pace bowler Mark Wood, who captured a T20 career-best 4-25 from four overs after Durham scored 156-6 in the second semi-final, Northants beating Nottinghamshire by eight runs in the first semi-final.
Wood twice took two wickets in three balls – including the key scalps of England batsmen Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance – after Ben Stokes had earlier top-scored with 56 on his return to the Durham side after a calf injury.
“Mark Wood bowled beautifully,” said Gillespie, with Wood following that performance with 1-25 in the final against Northants, who went on to take the trophy with a four-wicket win.
“We were going along quite nicely and then we lost two quick wickets (Bairstow and Ballance), and we didn’t quite recover from that.
“I certainly felt that it was a gettable total, especially with the strength and depth of our batting line-up, and we should have chased those down.
“We can look at all sorts of reasons as to why that didn’t happen, but the facts are that we didn’t get the runs and Durham played very well.”
With hindsight, Gillespie felt that Yorkshire might have made more of an effort to see off Wood, although that was clearly easier said than done.
The 26-year-old right-armer, who only recently returned to action after ankle surgery, was bowling at 90mph and he would have been a handful for any opposition.
“Maybe we just needed to soak up the pressure a little bit more and get through his (Wood’s) spell, knowing that he only had four of the 20 overs, and maybe there are some lessons to be learned there,” said Gillespie, whose side take on Surrey in the semi-finals of the Royal London Cup at Headingley on Sunday.
“We just weren’t able to win the key moments, and Wood took the wind out of our sails.
“Any cricket watcher could see that he was used very well by the captain; he was brought on to take wickets and put the pressure on us, which is exactly what happened.”
Yorkshire captain Alex Lees echoed Gillespie’s sentiments at the end of an encouraging T20 campaign for the club overall, with Yorkshire having only once previously reached Finals Day.
Lees hit the second-highest score of 22 on a day when Adam Lyth (64) led the Yorkshire chase.
“Woody tipped the scales, and when you twice get two wickets in one over, it certainly puts the opposition on the back foot,” said Lees.
“We’re bitterly disappointed, and I just think that we lacked somebody in the middle order to make a contribution.
“Overall, we had a good tournament after everyone had written us off after the first few games, and we showed strength of character to come back and qualify and reach Finals Day. That’s testament to the group of players that we have, and the lads’ work ethic and prep was second to none.”
Attention now returns to the Championship, with Yorkshire going into tomorrow’s game against Notts at Scarborough in second place in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.

He said the kittens were rescued from the smoke and had suffered burns.
There was not thought to be anyone in the bungalow at the time.
And the fire is believed to have started accidentally.
Harry Dunn was travelling on the 127 bus from Ossett to Dewsbury when he took these pictures of the scene.

Owen was injured, along with forward Chris Annakin and captain Danny Kirmond, when the car they were travelling in hit a tree on Heath Common, near the club’s Belle Vue ground, on Friday afternoon.
Club chairman Michael Carter said: “Richie is still in hospital.
“He has had an operation on an arm, but he should be out of hospital in the next two or three days.”
Carter added: “I think Chris was in line to make his comeback [from a knee injury suffered last month] against Castleford on Friday, but it has blown that one.
“He is out of hospital and he has not had an operation as such, but he has had his hip put back into place and he’s had some work done on his ankle as well.
“There’s no prognosis at the moment how long any of them will be out of action for.
“Kirmo is out of hospital as well. He has got a deep cut to his ankle and it looks like it may have caused some damage to a tendon, but they’re not sure how severe.”
Carter is away from the club until Wednesday, but has been in touch with police investigating the accident, as well as Trinity coach Chris Chester.
“I’m liaising with the police and trying to find out exactly what happened,” he said. “By the end of the week we should have an exact idea of what went on.
“I have spoken to Chezzy and all the other boys have returned to training. Training has gone as well as can be expected. Chezzy is hopeful we’ll have two or three players back and we will have 17 players on Friday, one way or another.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/wakefield-wildcats/wakefield-wildcats-news/wakefield-trinity-winger-richard-owen-remains-in-hospital-after-operation-on-his-arm-1-8094879 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/4ed0d889486c84eca5d9225e74867665bab1075804300e96766605dd70b1e824.json |

Red Hot Chili Peppers closed the event in great style on the main stage on Sunday night while there were other headline performances from Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy on Friday and Disclosure and Foals on Saturday.
There were many sights and sounds to savour and plenty of mud to plough through as the weather did its worst on Saturday and on the evening before the festival kicked off. But the weather did not prevent up to 90,000 fans enjoying a stunning three days.

Close friend Stephanie Jennings said ‘Mick’, was always “out and about” in the town and was well known in the community.
Maxine Jennings, Stacey Smith and Steph Jennings.
She said: “He was the life and soul of the party. He was just so friendly to everyone.”
Mick was born with a range of health issues and spent much of his childhood undergoing major operations in hospital. He later developed diabetes.
Miss Jennings said: “With all that he has been through with illness, he has never once complained.
“He always helped everybody with anything.
“I have never known anyone quite like him. He was always witty, sarcastic and joking but never at anybody’s expense.”
A funeral for Mick, who worked in the steel and construction industries, was held at Kettlethorpe Crematorium on Wednesday.
And around 300 people, each wearing T-shirts with a picture of his beaming face on, gathered in the town afterwards to celebrate his life.
Miss Jennings said she ”couldn’t believe” how many people turned up.
She said: “People who have only met him a few times had all got funny stories about what he had done.”
Friends including organiser Gavin Gledhill sold the T-shirts to raise money for Diabetes UK.
And dozens of local businesses supported Mick’s funeral and joined in the fundraising initiative.
The Tawny Owl and Cock and Bottle pubs and Ossett Working Men’s Club played a central part in the celebrations providing food and refreshments for those who attended as well as holding collections to help the charity.
And companies in the town donated prizes for an upcoming raffle in his memory.
Miss Jennings said: “It was a brilliant day. It was fantastic to say it was a funeral.
“There was about 300 people there, maybe more.
“It was just a great way to celebrate Mick’s life. “ | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/community-unites-to-say-final-goodbye-to-mick-1-8090845 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/f0029ee9d22f2bc52b5e16ea649ed4b4a323d8db65b87d3c9f6ce3fe2a7dcffc.json |

Knowing a victory was needed to keep pace at the top of the table in what was their game in hand on their main title rivals, the White Rose county backed up Gary Ballance’s decision not to follow-on on Wednesday by securing the win early in the afternoon session.
They needed just 34.3 overs to claim the final seven wickets as the visitors were bowled out for 146 chasing 452 to win and leave their own hopes of survival in Division One hanging in the balance.
They remain rooted bottom to the bottom of the table with three matches to play while Yorkshire stay second and well in the hunt for a third successive Championship title.
Despite heavy rain for much of the evening on the east coast, play got under way on time thanks in no part to the decision to transport the club’s ‘Blotter’ from Headingley to North Marine Road in the early hours of the morning.
The machine spent two hours drying the outfield, and Tim Bresnan was soon reaping the rewards as he had Tom Moores (41) caught by Adam Lyth at second slip from just the fourth ball of the morning.

Having taken two wickets in an over on the previous day, Bresnan continued his fine form with the ball, with Samit Patel the next to succumb to the England all-rounder as he feathered an edge through to wicketkeeper Andrew Hodd.
Notts captain Chris Read fared little better as Bresnan picked up his fifth wicket, Jake Lehman the catcher at fourth slip, but Brendan Taylor and Brett Hutton were able to forge a partnership to see Notts through to lunch.
The pair added 47 for the seventh wicket, but just three balls after the interval they were parted as Ryan Sidebottom found Hutton’s outside edge and Hodd took the simplest of catches.
That sparked a lower order collapse, as Brendan Taylor (38) pushed a wide ball from Jack Brooks to Alex Lees at cover and Luke Fletcher was bowled from the very next ball to leave Notts on the brink of defeat.
People had a pop at us for not enforcing the follow-on but it shows the strength of our team and we stick by what we believe gives us the best opportunity to win a game of cricket. Yorkshire head coach, Jason Gillespie.
Imran Tahir was able to survive the hat-trick delivery, but he faced just three more deliveries before fending Brooks off to Lees at short-leg as the final four wickets fell in just three-and-a-half overs after lunch.
Bresnan finished with career best figures of 5-36 and his best in any first-class match across the two innings of 8-51.
Afterwards, Jason Gillespie said the result vindicated the decision not to enforce the follow-on.
“It was the right call,” he said. “People had a pop at us for not enforcing the follow-on but it shows the strength of our team and we stick by what we believe gives us the best opportunity to win a game of cricket. We’ve been vindicated in it.

“It’s a very important result against a very good side. Obviously Notts didn’t play their best cricket but we knew they were going to be a good challenge. We’re pleased as punch. To go from 51 for six on the first day to win by 300 runs – this team never ceases to amaze me. It’s important how you respond to the positions we find ourselves in at times, but I couldn’t be any more proud of them. There’s no words to describe it.
“You can point to a number of individual performances this game that were wonderful performances, but with the team collective there was no panic. There was a real calmness in the dressing room even when we found ourselves in a spot of bother. That is a hallmark of a decent side and a side that backs their ability, trusts their game and believes.
“That’s fantastic for us going into these last four games but we know we just have to control what we can and keep level-headed. Hopefully, that will give us a chance to compete and put us somewhere near the top at the end of the season.”

Neil Dodsworth, 51, was at the end of his tether after being unemployed for nine years.
He said that he has been waiting 23 years for a left knee replacement to aid his osteoarthritis.
And the pain got so bad that he had to quit his former job as a school cleaner.
Mr Dodsworth, of Whinney Lane, Streethouse, Pontefract, said: “I had not worked for nine years.
“I was really down at the start of this year.
“I just thought, ‘I need to find employment somewhere’.”
After going into Wakefield to buy an Airfix model and not being able to find one, Mr Dodsworth realised that selling them on the market could be the perfect way for him to earn a living.
It allows him to sit or stand whenever he needs to if his knee becomes too painful.
He opened up his stall a few months ago and said business is going well.
“The majority of people who have come to my stall have been absolutely excellent.
“It’s bringing back all their childhoods, these models.
“People come to the market for a bargain and that’s what I hope I can provide them with.
“The stall shows what people can actually do when they put their mind to it.”
Mr Dodsworth opens his model stall at Wakefield’s outdoor market on Union Street on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 8am-4.15pm. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/neil-turns-his-fortunes-around-with-his-airfix-model-stall-1-8091500 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/e6f5ae075221fab9157218c7df37dd89838d31e29ed9ed860001a8309ff94fdb.json |

Bounty Baby Club, a popular parenting advice site, has scaled its 100,000 visitors a month, to uncover the most popular baby names of the first half of 2016 and there are a few surprises.
A few favourites of recent years are still holding their popularity but the results reveal some new up and coming themes and trends.
The favourites
Holding onto their 2015 top spots, Alfie and Isla remain the most popular names for boys and girls. Out of the top 100 most popular names, the biggest winners have been Caleb, jumping up nine positions to 19, Jenson, rising up five places to 26 and Ellie, rising up nine positions to nine.
The biggest climber so far this year has been Arlo, previously was outside of the top 50, now cementing a top 10 position at number six. Other names you may start to hear more include Freddie, Aaron, Phoebe, Ellis and Millie.
So what names are falling out of favour this year?
Results show that for girls, Sienna, Mia, Sophia, Mila and Scarlett are on the decline in 2016. Yesterday’s news for boys’ names include Dylan, Sebastian, Daniel and Harrison which are proving less popular than they have in recent years.
There is a new trend of baby names emerging from Bounty’s findings, vowel heavy names, particularly for girls. Male names ending in a softer letter are also becoming more popular, for example names such as Alfie, Arlo, Archie and Harry.
Take a look at the top 10 for boys and girls for the first half of the year below:

A new production of Paul Allen’s theatrical adaptation of the 1996 film Brassed Off will be performed at the National Coal Mining Museum in Overton, once home to Caphouse Colliery, later this month.
Andy (Ewan McGregor) and Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald) in Brassed Off
Leeds based-Bite My Thumb say the show, which was inspired by the real life pit closure at Grimethorpe, near Barnsley, and its colliery band, is just as relevant today, when the scars of the Miners’ Strike still run deep.
Director Neil Knipe said: “Plays like Brassed Off are now a modern folk tale for the north. These stories need to be ever-present, passed down from generation to generation so we never forget the plight and battle of the miners and the tragedy of the pit closures. Yes, this production has all the classic lines from the film and gold old northern humour but, unlike a lot of productions, we’re making sure we highlight the deep desperation and sense of being trapped that these characters faced.”
Brassed Off will also be performed in Leeds and Brighouse in September. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/what-s-on/theatre/desperation-and-tragedy-of-pit-closures-brought-to-stage-1-8053377 | en | 2016-08-05T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/64d9c6eec1a86d6c01bec5730f99811c6db1278dfbce35f6e68c3560d7f43545.json |

Ms Cooper, who chairs Labour’s refugee task force, criticised delays in allowing children alone in Calais to join family already in the UK.
Writing on Facebook, Ms Cooper said: “Charities estimate at least 200 of the children and teenagers here in Calais have relatives in the UK who could care for them, and under the Dublin rules should be in Britain.
“Most of those cases aren’t being processed at all, and those that are take far too long.
“They have family who could care for them, they don’t need foster care or care home places. Yet they are still stuck alone in grimy tents in an unsafe camp, at terrible risk of abuse or violence.”
Ms Cooper highlighted the case of one Syrian teenager who was told six weeks ago he could travel to Britain but no arrangements have yet been made.
She said the bureaucratic delays are “destroying kids lives”.
The former Shadow Home Secretary said: “Why is there not a Home Office official working in Calais to sort these cases out fast? Why is it still left up to charities such as Safe Passage and Citizens UK?
“Why even when the UK has accepted responsibility for a child to be reunited with family in the UK are they then having to wait weeks longer in this unsafe camp before being brought to safety in the UK?”
The Government resisted attempts earlier this year to force it to accept child refugees who had travelled to Europe on the grounds it did not want to encourage people to make the difficult journey. However, after a sustained campaign by Labour peer Lord Dubs, who was himself a refugee from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, the Government relented although it did not commit to the number of children it would help. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/cooper-calls-for-uk-to-do-more-to-help-child-refugees-in-calais-camp-1-8088802 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/b8e28a5c56df7e68f4a1ccb0826aae16f17324c44039aa30d4928e6c01fa2824.json |

The trio were given carte blanche to blast the latest European and American house music at the night spot from 1992-1996. And the reunion will celebrate 20 years since they owned Casanovas’ decks.
Mr Moriarty, 40, of Riverside Villas, said: “The take-up has been phenomenal and it seems to have really struck a chord.”
He added that a change from the 1980s style club night at Casanovas made it suitable for “younger people who wanted an aspirational night out but didn’t want to go to Leeds.
He said: “Marc and I have spoken about this over the last few years. It felt right – the timing felt right.
“It’s all about giving back people a kind of music they’ve not had for 20 years.”

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.

Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired and Liberty Ship, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."

The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

David Willey pinned James Tredwell lbw for 17 with the fifth ball of the 48th over to complete a game which had ebbed and flowed to the delight of a near-capacity crowd of almost 6,000.
Adam Lyth top-scored with 88 from 96 balls, hitting a six and eight fours, as Yorkshire reached 256 for 9 from their 50 overs after being asked to bat.
Matt Coles took 3 for 39 from his ten overs for Kent and Charlie Hartley, a 22-year-old seamer playing in only his third List A game, dismissed both Joe Root, for 45, and Jonny Bairstow in his ten-over stint of 2 for 42.
Hartley, coming in at No 10, then almost took Kent home, scoring 15 in a nail-biting ninth wicket stand of 29 in 6.2 overs with Tredwell before being lbw to Adil Rashid’s googly to the last ball of the 47th over as Kent eventually could make just 245 in reply.
Kent initially slipped to 66 for 4 with Daniel Bell-Drummond, Sam Northeast and Sam Billings all out cheaply, but Darren Stevens and Alex Blake revived them with a fifth wicket stand of 86 in 13 overs.

Blake made 50 and Stevens 54 and, when they fell to Willey and Liam Plunkett respectively, it was left to Kent’s lower order to try to get them over the line. Despite their best efforts, they could not quite do it, with Plunkett finishing with 4 for 52 and Rashid bowling some crucial overs at the death.
Blake played brilliantly for 50 from 38 balls, hitting off spinner Azeem Rafiq on to the roof of the Underwood and Knott Stand for six and also including seven fours in a counter-attacking knock that shook Yorkshire’s international-class bowling attack.
Willey, however, cleverly decided to test the 27-year-old with a succession of short balls, one of which hit Blake a nasty blow on the chin, and won the duel when the left-hander flapped at another bouncer and edged through to the keeper.
Stevens, in his benefit year, also batted with great spirit in his 500th match for Kent in all formats – and 742nd in senior cricket overall – but the home challenge faded when he fell to a magnificent one-handed caught-and-bowled by Plunkett, flinging himself to his left.
Yorkshire's David Willey celebrates taking the wicket of Kent's Alex Blake. Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
Will Gidman managed 19, uppercutting Plunkett for six, before giving the same bowler another return catch and Coles, who briefly raised Kent hopes again with a four and two sixes smeared over the legside ropes off Rafiq, was stumped by Bairstow off Adil Rashid’s googly for a quickfire 22.
Willey had earlier pinned Bell-Drummond leg-before for 2 with the last ball of the second over, an inswinging yorker that hit the batsman on the boot, and Kent lost two more top order wickets in successive overs when Northeast chipped Plunkett to short mid wicket on 23 and Billings was beaten by a Steven Patterson off-cutter and lbw for one to his fourth ball.
At least Northeast had helped Joe Denly to add 50 in 9.4 overs for the second wicket, swinging Tim Bresnan’s medium pace into the adjoining building site for six in the process, while Denly drove Patterson for a maximum over long on and had also hit four fours in a 45-ball 31 when he top-edged an attempted swivel-pull at Plunkett and skied to mid on.
Lyth sprang from the traps in the early overs, thumping Mitch Claydon through the covers for four and then hammering a length ball straight for six. Alex Lees, his opening partner, also lofted Claydon for four but, from the next ball, he pulled to deep square leg to depart for 7 and leave Yorkshire 27 for 1 after five overs.
Root then joined Lyth in a stand of 90 in 18 overs that oozed quality, but just when it seemed the England No 3 was moving up the gears he was gone, for 45 from 55 balls with only three fours, brilliantly held on the deep mid wicket ropes by Blake who sprinted to his left and leapt to hold a flat pull and give Hartley the first success of a day to remember.
Bairstow, after one sublime push-drive for four wide of mid on off Hartley, then fell for 7 as he mis-hit to Bell-Drummond at a deepish mid on to give the young seamer his second high-profile scalp.
redwell bowled a typically steady ten-over stint of off spin, though without success, and the return of Coles for the 34th over brought immediate reward when left-hander Lyth was beaten by a fine ball angled across him down the slope which he thin-edged to keeper Billings.
Bresnan and Willey were then removed in the same over, the 39th, by Will Gidman as Kent – who had bowled with discipline and fielded like tigers – began to sense Yorkshire’s unease and turn the screw.
Bresnan, having laboured to 10, scooped tamely to short extra cover and Willey flicked at a legside delivery and was smartly caught by Billings, moving to his right.
Hartley returned to finish his 10-over allocation, almost having Plunkett caught and bowled and then hitting the England one-day international on the grille of his helmet as he tried to pull a short ball that stuck in the pitch. Gidman, meanwhile, beat Ballance with successive deliveries that seamed away from him.
It was no surprise when Plunkett, who could not get going, skied Coles to Northeast at extra cover for 16 from 21 balls, leaving Ballance and Rashid to collect what runs they could from the closing overs.
Ballance, having struggled to 37 from 55 balls, was run out when Rashid turned down a third run and he could not get back to the bowler’s end and Coles pegged back Rafiq’s off stump for 1 to take his competition wicket tally to 24 at 17.41 runs apiece.
A straight four and pulled six by Rashid off Claydon in the final over took Yorkshire beyond 250 but they had looked certain to total nearer 300 when Lyth and Root were together. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-survive-kent-scare-to-set-up-royal-london-semi-final-date-with-surrey-1-8077413 | en | 2016-08-18T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/14a91c8be910e8e5e26e7760b96d3c797ef4af075234691a222346221177495a.json |

A Royal London Cup semi-final looms on the horizon but, for now, Yorkshire’s attention returns to the Specsavers County Championship.
England's Stuart Broad is absent from the Notts line up Picture: Adam Davy/PA.
They are second in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.
And this week’s match against Nottinghamshire at Scarborough represents that game in hand.
It comes against a side who are bottom of the league and staring down the barrel of relegation.
Mathematically, it is not a must-win fixture, for there are still four to play after this match.
But it presents an obvious opportunity for Yorkshire to close the gap on Middlesex, and to close it to just two points if they can claim the maximum 24.
Yorkshire travel to second-bottom Hampshire next week and host third-bottom Durham the following week, before ending their campaign at home to Somerset and away to Middlesex.
A hat-trick of titles is still in their hands, but you sense that they need to seize the present moment.
It will not be easy.
Not only is the weather unpredictable at this time of year, rendering victories already gained like gold dust, but sides such as Notts are scrapping for points for different reasons – namely, their First Division survival.
Trent Bridge is arguably the finest ground in the country – at least outside of Lord’s, and with all due respect to Scarborough –but it faces the unpalatable prospect of Second Division cricket.
It will be extremely tough for Notts to beat a strong Yorkshire team at Scarborough, a ground where Notts have won only once in 12 matches, indeed, but that does not mean that they will be pushovers in what has been a tight division.
Yorkshire have a good recent record in the Championship at North Marine Road, but they lost on their last outing there in early July – an innings defeat to Middlesex that they hope will not have the same look in retrospect that Durham’s win there did in 2013, when it provided the impetus for the visitors to go on and pip Jason Gillespie’s team to the title.
Yorkshire, on paper, should be too strong for Notts, and yet the visitors possess some talented players.
Stuart Broad, the England pace bowler, is out with an ankle injury, and there is no Jake Ball or Alex Hales, who are on one-day international duty along with Yorkshire’s Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid.
But Notts have plenty of seasoned campaigners – not least the evergreen Chris Read and Samit Patel.
First-team coach Gillespie is certainly not taking Notts for granted as his side go in search of their fourth win of the Championship campaign.
“It’s going to be a massive challenge,” said Gillespie.
“Notts are a very good side, and although they haven’t played the cricket they’d like in the Championship, they’re an incredibly dangerous team and they’ve got some real match-winners.
“We need to play at our best if we’re going to compete with them, and we’ve got to make sure that we tick all the boxes.
“We’ve got a good record at Scarborough in recent times, and hopefully we can build on that this week.”
A week of inactivity for Middlesex would be as good a week as any for the champions to strike, with the leaders battling problems of their own.
With pace bowler Steven Finn currently out with a hamstring injury, Middlesex have been dealt another blow with the news that former Notts batsman Adam Voges will not be returning to captain them for their last four games, with Cricket Australia wanting him to rest his own hamstring problem.
Middlesex return to action next week when they travel to Warwickshire before visiting Notts the following week.
They continue their programme away to Lancashire before the potentially key fixture with Yorkshire in late September.
Notts, who are 14 points adrift at the bottom, really need something from this week’s fixture.
Mick Newell, their coach, is considering changes to his batting line-up, with Root’s brother, Billy, among those who could come into the team along with fellow batsman Tom Moores, the 19-year-old son of former England coach Peter Moores.
Whoever he selects, Newell is conscious of the need for immediate improvement.
“We’re in a mess in the Championship,” he admitted.
“We’ve got to try and get out of the bottom two.
“This is a really big game, and I’m not sure where the pressure sits because they’re trying to get to the top and we’re obviously trying to get off the bottom.
“We’ve got to find a way of winning games.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-yorkshire-lookint-to-seize-the-moment-in-championship-title-bid-1-8083109 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/e893e7808bf173a68a0bdaf7f3018a2aabebe6c531e1697abc13b9b782741e06.json |

Mark Doherty made a rope out of the victim’s clothing then used a bikini and the flex from an electrical fan to tie her up after choking her until she lost consciousness. A court heard the victim managed to untie herself and escape from the their home after the attack and ran to a police station.
CCTV footage showed the woman running through the centre of Ossett with the fan still dangling from her arm as she fled to a police station and raised the alarm.
John Bull, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court that the attack happened on July 26 this year after the couple returned home from an evening out.
Doherty turned violent after accusing the victim of sleeping with another man while he had been in prison.
Mr Bull said the woman recalled Doherty’s hands being around her throat and her being hit on the back of the head.
When she regained consciousness she was lying on the bedroom floor and was tied up by the flex from the electrical fan.
Doherty left the house after the attack and took the victim’s mobile phone and bank card, which he used to withdraw £250 from a cash machine.
The woman managed to untie herself and fled to a police station. Mr Bull said: “Her body was shaking and her voice was trembling and she was out of breath. On her right arm there was an electrical fan hanging from her wrist.”
Doherty, of Camellia Close, Lupset, admitted the attack. He pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and two offences of theft.
The court heard Doherty has served prison sentences for assault, robbery, burglary and drugs offences.
Allan Armbrister, mitigating, said: “He is deeply ashamed and very remorseful because he admits that he acted in the way he did to humiliate her.”

A rocking line-up of world-class look and sound-a-likes will be headlined by Bon Jovi Experience, Coldplace and New2.
South Yorkshire's latest young indie blues band Sundance, who play a mix of their own material and crowd pleasing covers by the likes of Oasis and Arctic Monkeys, are one of five local support acts along with Nick Aslam's Rebel City Revival.
Promising to be the hottest ticket in town, festival-goers will have the opportunity to enjoy a full day and night of live music at the stadium inside a huge big top style marquee - which means it goes ahead whatever the weather,
There will be a variety of food and entertainment stalls in true festival style. Parking is available, but there is no camping at the festival site.
Fake Festival, which is celebrating its tenth year, features professional ‘touring-grade’ tribute bands that look, sound and move like the real rock-stars.
Home grown support bands include Barnsley four-piece Sundance, who recently took Tramlines by storm after featuring on BBC Music Day. They are Harry Walker (vocals/lead guitar), Kyle Grattan (drums), Owen Keane (rhythm guitar) and Jamie Darbyshire (bass).
The band's riffs and swagger belie their young years and they harbour a not-so-quiet confidence that's sure to take them places. Check out and like their Facebook page facebook.com/sundancemusicuk, follow on Twitter @sundancemusicuk and visit their YouTube page - CLICK HERE
Nick Aslam's Rebel City Revival, whose inspirations range from Kiss, David Bowie and Oasis, will perform original music including their debut single Night Train - see www.nickaslam.com, his Facebook page www.facebook.com/NickAslam or follow on Twitter @NikAslam
Doncaster Fake Festival provides a friendly environment that caters for all ages, says Mark Hughesman, of Doncaster Rovers FC, who are hosting the event.
He said: “This year celebrates 10 years of Fake Festivals. It promises to be a fabulous day of live music and we can’t wait to start the party.
"Bring your friends and family, young and old, and catch up with those you haven’t seen in a while. It’s going to be a fun-packed day with the music and bar in the marquee and the entertainments arena just outside with a variety of food stands and games.”

Jez Lee, owner of Fake Festivals, said: “It’s hard to believe that Fake Festivals started out in a small Lincolnshire village 10 years ago and now tours around the UK.
"I can clearly remember the day, and never imagined it would take off like it has. I’m really proud to be able to say we are the UK’s only touring tribute festival, and that we have kept it community-led to, and not sold out to commercial pressures that a lot of festivals experience nowadays.”

A new strategy to counter flooding in and around the city has identified 6,000 properties at increased risk of flooding from becks and rivers while 2,600 are deemed to be in danger from surface water floods.
Wakefield and the surrounding areas have experienced notable flooding four times in the last nine years with the most serious occasion the 2007 floods when 1,470 homes were affected with further incidents in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
Councillors will next week discuss Wakefield Council’s new strategy to reduce the risk of flooding.
The document warns that businesses could be put off from investing in the area unless they are confident proper plans are in place to limit the risk of flooding.
Coun Matthew Morley, Wakefield Council’s cabinet member for transport and highways, said: “We will be discussing the strategy which is all about making sure we have effective plans, so we are as well prepared as we can be for flooding.
“This is important as we need to ensure we are resilient to flooding and our infrastructure and transport links are robust so they continue to support the drive to regenerate our district.”
The Cutsyke area of Castleford, Walton and Newmillerdam are the parts of the district considered to be at “significant risk” of watercourse flooding.
The strategy separately identifies 22 areas thought to be at threat of surface water flooding.
Measures to reduce the risk will include clearing trash screens on local rivers and becks and removing debris around bridges and working with private landowners on watercourse maintenance.
Members of Wakefield Council’s cabinet are due to discuss the district’s flooding strategy at a meeting on Tuesday. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/thousands-of-homes-still-at-risk-of-flooding-1-8097880 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/e6af5c66b28b313516fc9cc0de07d509453a9fee537c81e91ddb056abfa91919.json |

Personally, it was obviously frustrating not being involved after the good work I had done at Old Trafford, I had started to feel like my old self back at the crease. But I was proud as punch for the lads at Scarborough, they put in a real performance against Nottinghamshire after being 60-6 on the first morning and to turn it around on a similar fashion that we did, it followed a similar path to the Durham game at Scarborough last year.
We actually mentioned it on the first morning and last year, we were 90-9 on the first morning and ended up winning in three days and we came through again.
We have played some good cricket at Scarborough over the years and I can only remember losing a couple of games in seven or eight years. We were outstanding again and are getting to the business end of the season and it is very tight at the top of the league.
Middlesex are playing some good cricket. But we have the experience of coming through what we have done for the last few years and if we keep the pressure on and keep doing what we do, we can get over the line and make it three in a row. I am confident that we can do it.
Azeem Rafiq and Andrew Hodd came good with the bat for us when we were in trouble. Hoddy has had a bit of stick throughout the season about his batting from a number of supporters and he came in and showed what he is about and rolled his sleeves up and stuck his chest out.
It is not always about stats; it is about making that match-winning contribution and that is exactly what he did. To get 95, in the circumstances, helps keep the pressure on, given how close the league table is.
Rafiq also showed his prowess. He has got a first-class hundred and I think he made that on debut and I also remember playing a game at Worcester around 2008 and he got a hundred there, but probably never kicked on from that.
It is his way to be aggressive and the situation suited him and probably the best thing to do was attack and that is what he did and it came off.
The bowlers finished it off and it was pleasing to see how ruthless we were. I have previously spoken in this column about missed opportunities in games and not being able to clean the tail up. But our bowlers were outstanding throughout and bowled the right lines and lengths which you need to do at Scarborough.
To be fair, the ‘blotter’ that came from Headingley did its job on the ground. I think it set off a few days ago and it was really slow on the A64, but we managed to get it to Scarborough!
Obviously, it was frustrating to miss out with a back injury. It happened last Saturday when I was in the gym in the morning and just twinged it when I was squatting. I was okay, but then I came and had a bit of treatment from the physio and he treated to loosen it off and it actually made it worse and it locked up and I couldn’t move on Monday.
I had a fitness test on Tuesday morning. I probably could have got through the game if it was just about batting, but I couldn’t have really moved in the field and would have been letting the lads down if I had tried to get through. It has improved a lot since and had we started the game yesterday, then I would have been good to go, really. But unless there is a blip over the weekend, I will be ready for the game at Hampshire next week.
There was at least good news with David Willey’s injury. Looking at it on Saturday night after the Twenty20, I thought he had bust his hand with the size of it and everything. It added up to him breaking his hand and being out for the rest of the season.
It is added bonus that he isn’t and fingers crossed that we can get him back to tomorrow’s semi-final. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/andrew-gale-outstanding-display-against-notts-left-me-as-proud-as-punch-1-8091926 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/1ec90277bb0d87aafe0fe9c9dde6726e919f430fe2e0bd6da2b040ff3353a0a5.json |

Denton capped a memorable first team debut as he came up with a 20-yard strike that gave home keeper Christian Walton no chance in the 23rd minute.
In a game in which both sides missed plenty of chances Leeds avoided a potential banana skin and emerged victorious despite resting their entire first team from their previous league match.
It was a strange looking Leeds side that took to the Kenilworth Road pitch with head coach Garry Monk altering all 11 starters from Saturday’s win at Sheffield Wednesday.
In for their first starts of the season were goalkeeper Marco Silvestri, Luke Murphy and Souleymane Doukara while new signing Pontus Jansson made his debut at centre-half in a makeshift looking defence that also included youngsters Lewie Coyle and Denton as well as the recalled Sol Bamba.
Kemar Roofe started up front alongside Doukara with Pablo Hernandez, Stuart Dallas and Matt Grimes back in midfield.
Grimes was booked inside 30 seconds and Luton did the early attacking without threatening the visitors’ goal.
Roofe and Hernandez both saw efforts blocked in a crowded Luton area while for the home side Olly Lee and Cameron McGeehan sent efforts off target from distance.
United took the lead on 23 minutes when left-back Denton let fly from 20 yards out and the ball found the top corner of the net for a spectacular first goal in Leeds colours.
Six minutes later it was almost two as Roofe’s shot on the turn struck the crossbar and Dallas’s follow-up was saved by keeper Walton.
Silvestri made his first real save of the match when he tipped a shot by Jack Marriott over, but Leeds were soon back on the attack with Doukara racing clear only to be denied by Walton.
Marriott fired over after racing through for Luton, while Dallas’s shot from distance was off target. Silvestri then had to save low down to deny Lee.
Doukara had the first half-chance in the second period when bending a shot just wide following a good run from Roofe.
Dallas then saw his shot deflected over before Silvestri made an excellent save to turn McGeehan’s curling shot past the post.
Roofe brought a save out of home keeper Walton with a shot from outside the box, but the Whites were not creating much in the way of chances now.
Luton made a big one 11 minutes from time when Marriott burst through only to shoot just wide with Silvestri rushing out of goal.
Relieved United played out the next five minutes comfortably enough, though, and got forward again when Doukara and Roofe had efforts blocked and Mowatt’s shot was saved by Walton.
Luton attempted to put a big finish in as McGeehan shot over and then saw his header from a corner saved by Silvestri.
Leeds had to play out four minutes of added time and had chances to seal it when Doukara broke free only to shoot over and set up Roofe who saw his effort saved by Walton from close range.
However, it did not matter as they played out the remainder to clinch a place in the third round of the competition when the big boys enter.

On the other, when they last reached a one-day final in 2002, Yorkshire beat yesterday’s opponents in the semi-finals at Headingley before going on to beat Somerset – who contest the other semi against Warwickshire today – by six wickets at Lord’s.

Something had to give, and on a grey day at Headingley, that something was the hope that Surrey’s latest semi-final trip to Leeds might prove a good omen.
After the visitors scored 255-7, Steven Davies leading the way with 104 and Ben Foakes making a one-day career-best 90, Yorkshire came up short at 236 as their semi-final hoodoo continued apace.
Before a disappointing crowd of 4,836, which was not the bumper gate Yorkshire had been hoping for on Bank Holiday Sunday, the hosts made an excellent start after winning the toss.
Jack Brooks had Dominic Sibley lbw with the final delivery of the second over – umpire Peter Hartley deciding that the ball would not have drifted down leg-side, as replays suggested it might – and Tim Bresnan picked up the key wicket of Kumar Sangakkara with the fourth delivery of the third over.
Surrey's Steven Davies celebrates what proved to be a match-winning century against Yorkshire at Headingley in the Royal London Cup semi-final. Picture: Richard Sellers/PA .
The Sri Lankan, who had chopped the previous ball to the point boundary to get off the mark, drove on the up to cover, where Azeem Rafiq picked out the catch.
Sangakkara, who won the quarter-final against Northants with an unbeaten 130, has a mystifyingly poor record against Yorkshire; in eight innings against them in all cricket, he has managed 179 runs at 22.37.
From 8-2, things could only get better for Surrey, and they did as Davies and Rory Burns added 53 in 12 overs.
Davies, silky and stylish through the offside, injected impetus and Burns kept him good company, sensibly giving his partner as much strike as possible. Just as Surrey were starting to seize control, Matthew Waite, the 20-year-old making his first appearance in this year’s tournament, broke the stand with his opening ball from the Kirkstall Lane end.
Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan (left) and Will Rhodes encourage each other during the run chase against Surrey at Headingley yesterday. Picture: Richard Sellers/PA.
It was an innocuous leg-stump half-volley, and Burns carelessly helped it to Steve Patterson at deep fine-leg.
Waite might have had a wicket with his fourth ball, too, when Davies, on 43, drove back a return chance, but the ball seemed to come back a little slower than Waite expected, and the opportunity was lost.
It was another 24 overs before Yorkshire struck again, Waite finally getting Davies when he wellied a low full toss to deep square.
Thus ended a stand of 130 between Davies and Foakes, which beat Surrey’s previous best for the fourth wicket in one-day cricket against Yorkshire of 110 between Monty Lynch and Andrew Needham at Bradford in 1985.
Waite captured his third wicket when Sam Curran highlighted Surrey’s tendency towards over-funkiness by trying one ramp shot too many, stepping away so far to the offside that he was unable to prevent the ball clattering into leg stump.
Surrey ideally needed one of Davies or Foakes to be there at the end, but Foakes followed his partner back to the pavilion when he was sixth out at 249, ramping Bresnan to Brooks at short fine-leg.
Ollie Pope, an 18-year-old making his List A debut, chipped in with 20, but boundaries proved elusive as Surrey failed to summon a grandstand finish.
Yorkshire’s bowlers deserved credit for restricting them, and Pope was run-out off the final ball of the innings as only 63 came off the last 10 overs.
It felt as though Yorkshire had their noses in front at halfway, but those noses were put out of joint when Adam Lyth hit Jade Dernbach to cover in the third over.
Alex Lees played some handsome strokes before being undone in the flight by Gareth Batty, and Yorkshire lost the key wicket of Jonny Bairstow when he chipped Stuart Meaker’s third ball to mid-wicket.
In Meaker’s second over, Gary Ballance tried to steer to third man and was caught behind, and Meaker claimed his third victim in nine balls when Jack Leaning chopped on.
Having looked relatively comfortable at 75-2, Yorkshire were suddenly 81-5 and looking anything but in control, the soft nature of their dismissals undoubtedly a frustration.
But Yorkshire showed characteristic fight as Bresnan and Waite combined in a stand of 80 in 16 that changed the mood and momentum.
Waite, impressively unflustered for one so young, showed a fine temperament and some deft touches before falling for 38, the ball perhaps stopping in the pitch as he lobbed Sam Curran to Batty at mid-off. Bresnan then added 46 in eight overs with Will Rhodes, who was brilliantly run-out by a direct hit from Tom Curran at point as he tried to steal a single off Dernbach.
Tom Curran had Rafiq caught at long-on and Patterson held at mid-wicket, and Dernbach ended things with seven balls remaining when Bresnan picked out long-off. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/royal-london-cup-semi-final-misery-continues-for-yorkshire-as-they-come-up-short-against-surrey-1-8093704 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/fd3b305e6ac2dc731d6df957203ef9002c413b5b902515b6262f4ebf873c8042.json |

JASON GILLESPIE’s departure as Yorkshire’s first-team coach, after five years in charge of the county champions, had been on the cards for some time.
Earlier this summer, Gillespie’s wife, Anna, and their four children moved back to Adelaide in Australia.

It would be a strange marriage that could survive for several months apart on opposite sides of the world, although, on second thoughts, some couples would probably relish that thought.
Flippancy aside, Yorkshire had hoped to get at least one more year out of Gillespie, whose future had been the subject of regular speculation since he took the job in 2011.
Since then, the former Australia fast bowler has helped the club to one County Championship promotion and to back-to-back Championship titles, with the prospect of a hat-trick to follow next month.
Under Gillespie, Yorkshire have also twice reached NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day and successive Royal London Cup semi-finals, although, after 14 years without a one-day trophy, they have yet to crack limited-overs cricket in quite the same way.
IT'S OURS: Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale and coach Jason Gillespie celebrate with the County Championship trophy at Trent Bridge back in 2014. Pictures: SWpix.
Gillespie’s track record, however, speaks for itself (Yorkshire have lost only five of 76 Championship games since his arrival), and he has been linked with practically more international coaching positions than there are jobs vacant.
There are many observers –this correspondent included –who thought that he should have got the England job last year, an opinion that has not been altered by progress under Trevor Bayliss.
Gillespie has also been linked with international positions back home, where his great friend and former team-mate Darren Lehmann is in charge of the Australia side.
Gillespie already doubles up as coach of the Big Bash franchise Adelaide Strikers, and potential moves for him now could include international cricket/the Indian Premier League.
CHEERS, I'LL BE OFF THEN: Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will leave the club after five years at the end of this season.
Although Yorkshire will be sad to see him go, it was a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, Gillespie left.
The time would seem right for him not only from a family perspective, but also, one suspects, from a cricketing point of view.
Gillespie has probably taken Yorkshire as far as he can; their performances in the Championship this summer have actually tailed off a touch, although they have been more affected by injuries than in recent seasons, and they go into the final four matches just five points behind leaders Middlesex.
But it has not been the dominant campaign that many had hoped, although the end result is all that counts, and the players will be doubly determined to give Gillespie a successful send-off.
THRILLED: Jason Gillespie watches from the Lords balcony as the County Championship title is retained, despite the triumph being accompanied by defeat against hosts Middlesex.
Yorkshire’s magnificent pace attack is not getting any younger, and although there is no reason to suspect that the current side cannot aim to stretch their run of titles to at least four or five in a row, Yorkshire must soon face such unpalatable questions as: “Exactly how do you replace Ryan Sidebottom?”
Sport moves in cycles, and Gillespie has been part of a golden cycle at Yorkshire. He will leave with the thanks of the club’s supporters, who already respected him for what he achieved as a player.
As a key member of the great Australia side of the Nineties and Noughties, Gillespie took 402 international wickets. As a coach, it is noticeable that he never speaks about that success, or indeed seeks credit for Yorkshire’s recent triumphs.
He appreciates that it is players who win silverware first and foremost, and that support staff, in a nutshell, are exactly what that term would imply.
Gillespie’s coaching methods would seem quite simple: he does not over-complicate the game, but encourages his players to perform with freedom and to try to take the positive option.
He recognises the importance of making sure that the players believe that the coach believes in them, and his style is more arm-around-the-shoulder than ranter-and-raver.
Like all in sport, however, he hides a tough streak, although never quite to the extent that it masks a cheerful personality for too long.
At heart, he is a thoroughly decent chap: friendly, personable, and with time for all.
Even his infamous comments about the dairy industry, which he suggested earlier this summer should be closed down as it does not tie in with his vegan views, betrayed that decency and caring disposition, even if they were not shared by everyone – not least the Yorkshire sponsors, Wensleydale Cheese.
Yorkshire will not replace him easily, but a team of talented cricketers will cope.
Gillespie himself has seen to it, by helping to create a culture that will not be broken just because the time has come for him to say goodbye. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/chris-waters-time-is-right-for-jason-gillespie-to-bid-farewell-to-yorkshire-ccc-1-8094958 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/6805074530139771c581f749de6bbd76971ab391988b58f91e89964bac5ac01a.json |

Sharon Dale reports on how to get your property ready for market.
The summer holidays often spark life-changing decisions, which is why September is a prime time for job hunting, divorce and making plans to move house.
Those about to put their properties on the market could face some stiff competition, which is why it is essential to prepare well before the “For Sale” sign goes up.
The first job should be to make sure the house looks its best, inside and out, and owners are not always the best judge of what needs to be done.
“It is difficult for an owner, particularly an owner of a much-loved family home, to be objective and impartial. That is the responsibility of the estate agent,” says Edward Hartshorne, Director of Blenkin and Co. in York.
“As the first ‘viewer’ we are able to put ourselves in the shoes of potential buyers and this is fundamental to our understanding of how to prepare a property for sale. It also means that we sometimes have to traverse difficult ground in order to provide our clients with clear and dispassionate advice.”
Knowing from experience that the windows or the “eyes of a house” can attract or repel, Blenkin and Co. recently advised a client to paint their brown timber frames a fetching shade of cream.
“It was a difficult conversation to have but it worked and they took our advice and painted the windows. The uplift in value was immediate and the house was instantly more appealing to buyers,” says Edward, who adds that for properties in the middle to top-end of the market, rewards can be reaped from spending a few thousand pounds on paintwork, carpets, sprucing up the garden and weeding the gravel drive.
The well-worn advice of clearing clutter, fixing anything that is broken and toning down loud colour schemes is also applicable.
Once a home is spruced up, it’s time for photographs.
There are some shocking examples of bad property pictures. It is not uncommon to see unmade beds, loo rolls piled on top of the toilet cistern, overflowing waste bins, washing up left in the sink, houses covered in snow because they were shot in January and it’s now June and cars parked outside obscuring the ground floor view of the house. Not to mention fuzzy, badly lit photos with no thought given to composition. The list is endless.
Pictures sell houses. Most of the top agents use professional photographers. If yours does not and you are not happy with their images, then consider commissioning a professional photographer.
This can cost from £300 upwards but is well worth the expense. A good picture can entice a prospective buyer to view and a bad one can lead them to dismiss your house.
Edward Hartshorne says: “Top notch photography and smart presentation is key, particularly given the fact that a single, leading photo online can make or break the successful launch of a property.”
Richard Welpton of Beverley-based Quick and Clarke agrees: “A good agent should have an eye for what will make a person spend longer looking at each photograph.
“I think the viewer should be left with a feeling of homeliness and that’s why I don’t always agree with the idea of clearing away all the family photos or the children’s toys. You are not just selling a house, you are selling a lifestyle.
“It sounds obvious but I would also emphasise that the property needs to be spotlessly clean. Dirty houses do not sell.”
Most agents now include floor plans on their brochures. If yours does not then insist on one. They are an enormous help to buyers. The layouts help them decide where to put furniture and can also give them ideas on using the space.
The property description should be compelling but not too wordy. Most estate agents now agree that brevity is now essential.
“Some homeowners want to include enormous amounts of detail about a property’s history but I try and dissuade them from doing that,” says Richard.”People have very short attention spans these days and they have neither the time or the inclination to read wordy brochures.”

Special cameras fitted to the Northern Dalesman will present its route - stretching from Richmond to Ingleton - in real time, capturing the road ahead, the passing scenery and the occasional chatter of the regular passengers.
The BBC Four show, All Aboard! The Country Bus, is the latest in a series of ‘slow’ programmes, following the success of The Sleigh Ride and Slow Week.
The ‘Dalesman’s 40-mile route includes a blossoming river valley, ancient meadows, agricultural pastures and ancient mining villages, and passes over high open heathland, before a final stretch across the hilly Dales past Ribbleshead viaduct.
The programme will feature captions integrated into the landscape to provide details about the dramatic countryside through which the bus is passing - from aspects of the geographical or geological environment, to specific highlights of Britain’s agricultural or industrial heritage, from the ancient stone hay barns that dot the landscape to the scars left behind by the lead mining of previous centuries.
Cassian Harrison, Channel Editor, BBC Four says: “I’m delighted that Slow television has struck such a chord with BBC Four viewers. This programme promises to be another very special treat; an opportunity to sit back and appreciate the sights and sounds of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales in a rich and absorbing antidote to the frenetic pace of modern life.”
All Aboard! The Country Bus will air on BBC Four at 8pm on Monday, August 29.

It’s biscuit week and Val and her ten fellow remaining contestants will have to bake impressive signature dishes, technical challenges and showstoppers to stay in the competition.
The 66-year-old retired headteacher lives in Yeovil with husband Ian, but she is originally from Conisbrough, Doncaster, so we’ve claimed her as our own.
She delighted viewers with her odd baking tactics on BBC One last Wednesday.
Val exercises at the same time as cooking, lifting alternate feet off the ground as she’s mixing cake batter, or using the baking tray as a weight by lifting it above her head as it cools.
She also listens to her cakes, as she explained to the cameras during the first challenge of the contest, the signature bake.
Holding her precious sponge to her ear, she paused for a moment before saying: “And they’re not ready.
“They sing. And they say ‘I’m not ready, I’m not ready!’”
It’s not all singing and dancing though.
Although we know from last week that she makes a great mirror glaze chocolate genoise sponge, what if biscuits speak a different language to cakes so she can’t hear when they’re ready?
Or maybe her over-enthusiastic dancing will lead to a disaster - last week she dropped a whole rack of delicate decorative petals on the floor of the Bake Off tent.
I’m nervous for her. After all, biscuit week was full of surprises in 2015.
The star baker from week one, Marie Campbell, was sent home from the competition after forgetting to turn the oven on in the technical challenge.
(Iced) fingers crossed this won’t happen to our Val.

Not only are the glittering indie pop band playing Leeds Festival on the NME Radio 1 Stage at the end of the month, but they’ll be performing and signing copies of the album at HMV Sheffield (12 noon) and HMV Leeds (5.15pm) next Tuesday (August 9).
The Stockport band has announced a string of in-store signings and acoustic performances to celebrate the release and a full UK tour too for September and October to follow their festival appearance at Bramham Park on Sunday, august 28.
Any fan who cannot make the Leeds Festival can catch Blossoms at Sheffield’s Leadmill on Tuesday, October 4 and Leeds’ Beckett University on Wednesday, October 5.
Catapulted into the musical subconscious in January, listed fourth in the BBC Sound poll - as well as almost every other ‘ones to watch’ list - Blossoms have been carefully carving out their position in the canon of Great British rock’n’roll ever since.
The band have earned rave critical comparisons to everyone from The Arctic Monkeys to Depeche Mode and The Doors, shapeshifting between psychedelia, synth-pop and powerhouse indie, a mercurial sound at once familiar and unique.
“Fundamentally we want to be a great pop band,” says front man Tom Ogden.
“We’re influenced by the present as much as the past and we want to sound as modern as we can. We want to sound like a band who could only ever exist now, not then.”
The self-titled debut album was recorded at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios and produced by Rich Turvey and the band’s sonic mentor, The Coral’s James Skelly.
The pair produced early EPs Blown Rose and Charlemagne (No. 1 in iTunes Alternative Chart as well Christmas No 1 in the UK Vinyl Chart), their first release of 2016 - the dark future-glam of At Most A Kiss (No.1 in the iTunes chart) and radio hit ‘Getaway’ (playlisted across Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio X, Absolute and Radio 2).
“James has been really important for us,” says Ogden.
“He can listen to one of our songs and instinctively know what bits to push forward. He’s got an amazing ear for a good pop melody. He just brings out our best, and makes it a little bit weird in the mix as only he can.
“Being fans of The Coral anyway, having him produce our debut album is a perfect marriage.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/new-sensations-blossoms-signing-in-ahead-of-leeds-dates-1-8049772 | en | 2016-08-04T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/84b8a1e9d0761e055788d225a172877d01386fb456faf8f8f7c10c5b1988d113.json |

The competitions give local bands the once-in-a-lifetime chance to win places on the line-up at the annual music extravaganza taking place at Bramham Park.
Since its initial launch by The Pigeon Detectives in 2009, Centre Stage has raised an incredible £200,000 for Martin House Children’s Hospice and provided a platform for over 190 young musicians to showcase their emerging talent.
This year’s winners are Yorkshire favourites Faux Pas, from York, who will be performing on the BBC Introducing Stage at Leeds and Reading 2016.
The prestigious Futuresound competition also returned this year, offering winners the coveted opening slot on the Lock Up Stage and five runners-up the chance to perform on the BBC Introducing Stage. This year’s winners are alt-rock Americana quintet Fighting Caravans, from Leeds.
Having battled it out against 39 other bands, they will play the Lock Up Stage alongside the likes of Good Charlotte, The King Blues, MGK and Arcane Roots. Joining them over the bank holiday weekend and all performing on the BBC Introducing Stage will be runners up The Indigo Project, Vexxes, Dusk, Adore // Repel and Night Owls.
Members of Fighting Caravans and Faux Pas were given the chance to meet fellow northerners Blossoms at HMV Leeds, during the promotional tour for their debut, self-titled album, which is heading straight for the top of the UK Album Chart this week.
Band of the moment Blossoms are also appearing at the Leeds Festival and in his introduction at the Leeds Festival press day at Bramham Park, event founder Melvin Benn talked about the band as the perfect example of what can happen to an act with the right breaks in the space of one short year.
Blossoms were unsigned when they played the Festival Republic Stage at their first Leeds and Reading Festivals in 2015. This year, they play on the NME / Radio 1 Stage, with a critically acclaimed album hitting the very top of the charts.
Weekend tickets for the Leeds Festival are £205 + £8 booking fee and day tickets are £59.50 + £7 booking fee with both available from http://www.leedsfestival.com/tickets | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/leeds-and-york-bands-given-chance-to-impress-at-festival-1-8061275 | en | 2016-08-10T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/b12c66dae10a2a419984b32ee780a94c93da8d1f0b8a9d3404a59a64e5a5351f.json |

But now we’re seeing a renaissance of small cinemas. Chris Bond reports.
ONE of my earliest memories is being taken with my best friend to our local cinema in Whitley Bay by my mum to watch the new Spiderman movie.
It was 1978 and a balmy afternoon during the school summer holidays. We queued for what felt like an eternity in the sunshine only to be turned away as we neared the entrance because the screening was full.
My friend and I were consoled with an ice cream and had to make do with playing out in the street. I never did watch the film and the cinema has long gone, demolished to make way for a block of smart, if nondescript, flats.
For years it was a similar story up and down the country as the traditional local cinemas lost their lustre and found themselves up against the big all-singing, all-dancing multiplexes.
Some smaller, traditional cinemas did survive and in some cases prosper. In Leeds, the Cottage Road Cinema and the Hyde Park Picturehouse are both originals dating back to the early 20th century as are the entirely volunteer-run Ritz in Thirsk, the Rex in Elland (which also holds regular organ concerts), the Plaza in Skipton and the Picture House in Hebden Bridge. But these were the exceptions rather than the norm.
However, in the past decade or so there has been a revival. In Richmond you can see movies at the Station in what was a derelict Victorian station building until it reopened as an arts, small business and heritage centre – with two cinemas – in 2007.
Then last year, the Ilkley Cinema opened with high-definition visuals, a top-spec sound system, comfy sofas and a well-stocked bar. With seating for just 56, it’s the smallest 4K resolution cinema in Europe – the title was previously held by the 68-seater Cinema dei Piccoli in Rome.
John Tate, an Ilkley-based property consultant, was the driving force behind the project, which brought the movies back to the spa town for the first time in four decades.
The cinema is housed in the former Il Trovatore, affectionately known as the Trav’ by local residents of a certain age, a nightclub which operated for about 25 years on the upstairs floor of a rather splendid-looking Victorian stone building on Leeds Road.
This was closed and lay dormant for a decade before being transformed into a thriving arts cinema.
It’s part of a surge of interest in preserving small and historic cinemas across the country. The Hyde Park Picture House is the world’s only surviving gas-lit cinema and earlier this month it was announced that it is to receive £2.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund to help restore some of its original features.
Down the road in Pontefract, a campaign group is hoping to revive the old Crescent Cinema to its former glory.
John Tollick is one of the co-founders of the Crescent Project, which was set up 12 months ago. “At one time there were four cinemas in the town and this is now the last one standing,” he says.
The building is one of the most prominent in the town and is home to a dance hall and a snooker club, but John says the old cinema inside has fallen into disrepair.
Campaigners are in the process of setting up a community interest company and hope eventually to purchase the building and bring back the cinema while keeping the snooker club and dance and theatre group as tenants.
John believes there’s an appetite for this kind of thing. “You only have to look around to see the interest and it’s not just big cities either. Places like Hebden Bridge and Penistone have got a local cinema and they’re keeping them going.
“We’ve spoken to people in the town and there’s definitely a desire for this because they can see how it can be a real focal point for Pontefract.” | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/small-is-beautiful-in-yorkshire-s-cinema-renaissance-1-8083783 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/3dfec74d561f6a3853c3e67d3c39ab3fa23218ace4f8a33bf07bd94723911e82.json |

Uniformed patrols are out in the Wakefield, Huddersfield and Halifax areas to catch hosepipe ban dodgers.
“So far only a few people have had to be warned and we have not yet had to prosecute anyone,” the Yorkshire Water Authority’s south wester supply engineer Mr. Robert Antrim said yesterday.
The six patrolmen make their rounds at night and at weekends to see if hoses are being used for washing cars or watering private gardens.
Throughout the country, angry householders have been complaining to water authorities over the ban, for while gardeners watch their lawns turn brown and their flowers droop, local authorities and sports clubs are still able to turn the taps full on to water pitches and gardens.
The water authorities say they are hampered by the lack of Government legislation to curb the wastage of water 0 except by private householders.
South West Yorkshire has been named as the area most at risk during the drought in the yorkshire Water Authority’s region.
“The public has been responding magnificently,” said Mr. Antrim. “For 14 weeks we have had a reduced level of consumption because of voluntary water economies.”
But the YWA is taking no chances, with emergency plans already being worked on for putting up 18,000 standpipes if necessary.
It would take until October for them to be ready for use because more than 250,000 stop taps would first have to be turned off.
By that time, said Mr. Antrim, more water would be available to the division because of two pipelines being laid, one from Garforth’s River Derwent suppy to Castleford and the other from Chellow Heights, Bradford to Dewsbury.
But nearly 1,000,000 people in South Wales are to have their water cut off for 12 hours a day from next Monday.
If the rain did not come industry could have its water cut back by 50 per cent.

Yorkshire lost by 10 runs to Hampshire in the final at Cardiff on their only previous appearance at Finals Day.
Yorkshire's Azeem Rafiq
They have waited a long time to erase the memory of that setback, and director of cricket Moxon feels it will drive the players on at Edgbaston today.
“It was tough losing that final, and it whetted the appetite to try and win the tournament in the future,” said Moxon.

“Clearly it’s taken longer than we would have liked to get back there, and I think it’s a great opportunity for us, given the team that we’ve got on paper, to go one step further and hopefully win the competition.
“With our England players available, we’ve got a very good team, but clearly it’s about what happens on the day.
“T20, in particular, is all about how you perform on the day, and there’s four good teams involved, each of which is capable of winning it.”
Yorkshire take on Durham in the second semi-final at 2.30pm. Notts and Northants meet in the first semi at 11am, with the final taking place at 6.45pm.
“Durham are a very good team,” said Moxon.
“They’ve got match-winners in the likes of Ben Stokes and Mark Wood.
“We’ve got to be at our very best and, if we are, we can certainly beat them and hopefully go all the way and win the thing.
“The T20 is something we haven’t won before, so it’s important to us, and it would be nice to get that monkey off our backs.”
That Yorkshire even have a chance of erasing the memory of 2012 is a minor miracle given that they were bottom of the North Group at the halfway stage.
Yorkshire won only one of their opening seven games before winning six of their last seven to reach the quarter-finals.
“T20 is all about finding a method and I think that we’ve found it,” said Moxon.
“It’s taken hard work and, to a certain extent, failure for us to find it, because clearly the things that we were doing at the start of the competition weren’t working.
“From a batting point of view, we’ve worked on the areas in which we’re trying to strike the ball. They’re much better areas now.
“We’d found ourselves getting into trouble by playing too square of the wicket, so, as a consequence, we are hitting the ball a lot straighter now.
“It’s probably taken too long to change and rectify, but that’s been the biggest thing as far as the batting is concerned.
“Bowling-wise, having the skills that are required, the change-ups, and having the ability to bowl the change-ups (different deliveries) that are needed at various times in the innings, we’ve got better at that as well.
“As for our fielding, I think that’s been outstanding generally.”
Moxon was particularly pleased with Yorkshire’s fielding when Glamorgan were clinically beaten by 90 runs in the quarter-final in Cardiff.
David Willey laid the platform with a swashbuckling 79, proving again why Yorkshire were so keen to sign him last winter to improve their white-ball cricket, and the bowlers did the rest in a fine team performance.
“We brought our A-game to the quarter-final,” said Moxon.
“We were outstanding in the field, as good as you can get, and the ruthless way we went about our business was superb.
“David Willey set the tone with the bat, and we signed him precisely because we wanted to improve our one-day form immediately.
“Long-term he can have an impact in red-ball cricket too, but he’s made a big difference to our T20 side.”
Another player who has made a big difference is Azeem Rafiq, the off-spinner who returned to the club in mid-season after almost two years out of the professional game.
It is no coincidence that Yorkshire’s T20 resurgence can be traced back to Rafiq’s arrival.
“It has been a team effort to get to Finals Day, but Rafiq has done exceptionally well and he’s a great competitor,” said Moxon.
“He creates a buzz in the field as well as bringing his bowling skill, and he’s been a big factor in our improvement.
“Bottom line is, we’ve worked really hard to try to find the right method in T20.
“There’s been a lot of frustrations along the way, a lot of disappointments, and hopefully the lads can get some silverware now to show for their hard work.”

On August 18, 1956, the pair wed at Wakefield’s registry office after meeting at the city’s Embassy Ballroom two years earlier aged 19 and 20.
But the very next day Mr Bielby, now 79, had to go back to RAF Kirkham where he was stationed.
“It was a very, very small wedding,” said Keith. “We had a local celebration at the George pub in Eastmoor.
“On the following day I was back at the RAF camp.”
From 1958 the couple had four children: Roy, who has sadly passed away, Ian, Susan and Stewart. They have also been given six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Over the years they have enjoyed many holidays, which this year included the Lake District, and they will go to Zante in September. They have lived on Whinney Moor Avenue for 50 years.
And the pair met with friends and family at the City of Wakefield Golf Club to celebrate their 60 years together.
Retired welder Mr Bielby said: “It’s been very eventful, we had a party and I said to everybody, ‘just send us cards’. But of course they didn’t, they got us lots of presents.”
The couple wanted to thank everyone who gave them gifts and cards.
Keith said the secret to a long-lasting marriage is “just love.

Such concerns must have crossed the minds of the Yorkshire crowd yesterday when the hosts were busy ripping through the Notts’ batting line-up with the ease of piranhas devouring their victims.
But after dismissing Notts for 94 on the stroke of lunch, after they had started day two on 38-2 in reply to their own first-innings 282, Yorkshire chose not to enforce the follow-on despite a lead of 188, thereby ensuring that the game could not be over inside two days, which had seemed eminently plausible.
As owners of local guest houses and hostelries no doubt turned cartwheels of joy, so too did those Yorkshire members who adore it at North Marine Road, with 84 per cent of them having voted in a recent survey conducted by the club to retain two Championship games there from next season.
With Yorkshire having to take one match away from Headingley or Scarborough due to changes to the fixture list, it can be taken as read that the decision will come down in the seaside town’s favour, but that is not to say that many of those Scarborough devotees were not a little baffled as to why Yorkshire – their bowlers fresh and their opponents fragile – opted to increase their lead in glorious sunshine.
It is the modern way, of course, not to enforce, and it is unlikely to make a jot of difference to the result, with Yorkshire set to close the gap to five points on leaders Middlesex with a win here, and Notts looking every inch like relegation material.
Yorkshire followed up with 200-4 in 61 overs in their second innings, Gary Ballance, the captain, scoring an unbeaten 75 to stretch the lead to a lofty 388.
Even with dodgy weather forecast today, Yorkshire’s fourth Championship victory of the season would seem as much of a formality as high and low tide.
Regardless of the question as to whether to enforce, that Yorkshire were even in a position to do so was tribute to a rousing recovery from 51-6 on day one.
Magnificent contributions from Andrew Hodd, Azeem Rafiq and Jack Brooks were mainly responsible for a revival completed by Yorkshire’s four-pronged pace attack of Brooks, Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Bresnan and Steve Patterson, who needed just 25.5 overs on the second morning to winkle out the last eight wickets.
The tone was set – as it so often is – by the venerable Sidebottom, who belied his 38 years with a splendid exhibition of swing bowling from the Peasholm Park end to take 3-5 in 12 balls and reduce Notts to 52-5.
Michael Lumb, the former Yorkshire batsman, was drawn forward and caught behind by one that shaped away; Steven Mullaney was lbw playing across the line; and Samit Patel was caught upper-cutting high to Bresnan at first slip.
Sidebottom would have had a fourth wicket with the score on 59 but Bresnan dropped a low chance at first slip, with Brendan Taylor not then off the mark.
But it was only a temporary setback for a Yorkshire side who made equally light work of the mid-to-lower order.
Chris Read miscued an attempted pull off Brooks to cover; Brett Hutton edged Brooks low to Adam Lyth at second slip; Taylor’s luck finally ran out when he played on an attempted drive off Patterson; Luke Wood flashed in foolhardy fashion at Bresnan and was caught behind, and an innings caked in collective embarrassment ended when Luke Fletcher helped Bresnan to Jack Leaning at third slip.
That Yorkshire would bat again was betrayed by the sight of openers Lyth and Alex Lees sprinting off the ground to strap on their pads, and they safely negotiated the one over that remained before lunch.
After the break, the cricket grew steadily soporific as the 5,000 crowd watched Yorkshire increase their lead in the way of builders systematically adding bricks to a house.
Lees added 30 bricks before he was lbw to Hutton, ending a first-wicket stand of 72, and Lyth followed shortly after for 41, caught and bowled by Wood off a leading edge.
Lehmann and Ballance added 61 in 22 overs before Lehmann slogged Samit Patel straight up in the air to Wood at mid-on.
Ballance, dropped on 20 when he pulled Fletcher to a diving Tom Moores at mid-wicket, advanced to a 113-ball half-century that included eight fours, and Leaning helped him add 57 before being stumped.
Play was halted seven overs early due to bad light with swooping seagulls ready to reclaim the outfield once the cricketers had left for the evening. | http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/cricket/yorkshire-v-notts-seaside-air-leaves-gary-ballance-in-mood-to-play-on-1-8086935 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/dea927d66ace3d955bdf0b57bd5b6f1258e9be7bdcc3120fd0b723316a87c98c.json |
