		<title>Warne&#8217;s last bowl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not strictly Ilkley, but just up the road. According to the new Wisden, Shane Warne&#8217;s last match in England (assuming he stays fit) will be for Hampshire vs Yorkshire at Headingley, Sep 19-22. As Engel puts it, something to tell the grand-children about.]]></description>

		<title>Ilkley Moor can save the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New research suggests that good management of heather moorlands can have an important impact on the battleagainstglobalwarming. Or, rather, bad management will have a highly negative effect on said battle. And is there any moorland worse managed than our beloved Moor?]]></description>

		<title>The caring face of conservatism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmm, so Cameron visits Keighley (not really prime Tory country, but one assumes the news reports meant the constituency.) and gets a story on Newsnight out of it. Unfortunately, not the one they wanted. What have we here? Seriously un-Cameron-like behaviour from our local grande dame Mrs Hawkesworth&#8217;s consort, John. An email calling opponents &#8216;reptiles&#8217;? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Panoramic epistles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given the Gazette&#8217;s refusal (well, okay, they&#8217;ve just ignored) to print my latest epistle, here it is. In response to the latest attempt to sell the &#8216;Panorama Stones are modern inventions&#8217; line. Gavin Edwards has once again used your columns to promote his pet theory of the Victorian embellishment of the Panorama STone(s). The latest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just get her out 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I said at the last election we should just get her out, but you lot didn&#8217;t listen. The glaring hypocrisy of our MP was shown up on Wednesday. She signed the EDM on the conduct of the war in Iraq, demanding an enquiry. And then, when the chance came, she voted AGAINST. Way to go [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best solution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, after all that, the Moor remains in Bradford&#8217;s hands. But selling off Silver Well Cottage to finance improvements? Why? It smacks of selling off the family silver. What happens next time, in a few years, when Bradford still hasn&#8217;t provided the money the moor requires? Retaining ownership is fine, as long as they start [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vaulting ambition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ate at Ilkley Moor Vaults on SUnday. After one local contact said they had &#8216;the best chips in Wharfedale&#8217;. Praise indeed. No chips are being served on Sundays though. Haven&#8217;t been since the re-fit. The old urine-stinking bar seems to have been replaced by a lovely stone real ale parlour, and the upstairs Mr Q&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The train has arrived five minutes early</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Only problem being, to arrive into Ilkley five minutes early, it must have left Ben Rhydding (and probably Burley too) before it was meant to. Well, its one way of hitting punctuality targets I suppose.]]></description>

		<title>The monkman cometh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much to the suprise of the gentleman over at Ilkley-More, yes, Chris Monkman&#8217;s new wet fish establishment/bistro is indeed called Monkfish. Monkman&#8217;s reputation, both as ebullient (sometimes oleaginous) host and creator of above-average eateries such as T&#8217;Fleece in Dingham gave us all high hopes for the new establishment. First, the conversion of the old lighting [...]]]></description>
