🎬 We thought we’d have a go ourselves!

What a brilliant morning at Selby College for our September Members Meeting — and it was great to be back together after the summer break!

We had a fantastic morning of networking, catching up with familiar faces and meeting new members, alongside learning about how local businesses can support young people at our colleges and the opportunities available to get involved Heart of Yorkshire Education Group

And, of course, we couldn’t resist having a little go at making our own reel! 😂🎥 Usually, we love sharing the brilliant reels from What's Your Story?, but they couldn’t make it along this morning, so we thought we’d see what we could come up with ourselves!

Thanks to everyone who joined us and to Selby College for hosting us. What a great way to kick off the new season of We Are Sherburn!

We're sad to share that unfortunately, due to the weather forecast and concerns around airfield conditions and safety, Sherburn Aero Club has made the difficult decision to cancel their Main Summer Event tomorrow, Saturday 29th August.

We know many people were looking forward to the event, and we’re sorry to share this disappointing news. Please see Sherburn Aero Club’s full statement for more information and details of their plans to continue the tradition in 2027 ✈️

IMPORTANT NOTICE

It is with immense disappointment and frustration that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel our Main Summer Event, scheduled for Saturday 29th August 2026.

Our main priority as an airfield is to protect our runways and grass surfaces. With tomorrow’s weather forecast, there is simply too great a risk of causing significant damage to the airfield.

In addition, there is a risk of thunderstorms over the airfield during the event, which could pose a serious danger to everyone involved. The safety of our visitors, members, pilots and staff must always come first.

We hold this event to showcase Sherburn Aero Club and celebrate its rich aviation heritage. Unfortunately, the forecast rain would mean that we would be unable to offer flights, the planned aerobatic display would not be able to take place, and visiting aircraft may be unable to fly into the airfield.

We have proudly held this event for the past five years, and we are committed to continuing the tradition in 2027.

We sincerely apologise to everyone who was looking forward to attending and to all those involved in planning and supporting the event. We share your disappointment and are incredibly sorry that we have had to make this decision.

To confirm once again: Sherburn Aero Club's Main Summer Event on Saturday 29th August 2026 has been cancelled.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Meet Margaret from Benchmark Marketing Services 👋

What do you do?

I help people learn new skills for work through classroom and online training. Skills that they can take away and use the next day. No 'Death by PowerPoint' – learning should be, and is, fun.

What's the thing you love the most about your business?

The buck stops with me – what you see is what you get!

Margaret is a familiar face at lots of our events, so make sure you say hello next time you see her! 👋

When she's not helping people develop new skills, Margaret also gives back to the local community as a volunteer with the Elmet Lions, supporting local causes and making a real difference. We're lucky to have her as part of the We Are Sherburn community!
