Your Harrogate

Happy Christmas!! It's all about local football in this particular episode of the Your Harrogate Podcast.

Pete Egerton has been speaking to Women and girls' football lead, Mike Collier, from Scotton Scorchers.

Mike has been telling Pete about the club expanding to Staveley, plus the uptake in both girls and boys joining the club off the back of the Lionesses winning the Euros and the men's World Cup taking place too.

The festive period is a busy one for Simon Weaver and his Harrogate Town squad.

They face Grimsby Town, Bradford City and Hartlepool United in the space of a week.

Town are feeling confident and the big question away from the pitch...will the gaffer be mucking in with Christmas dinner preparations?

In this episode of the Your Harrogate Podcast, Pete Egerton speaks to Matthew Stamford and Lyndsay Snodgrass from Verity Frearson - Harrogate's top selling estate agent.

It's been a huge 12 months for the business, celebrating their centenary year and delivering "100 days of giving" across the Harrogate district.

Rather than throwing one big party, Verity Frearson have decided to support 100 different community projects and in the process, have been very humbled by many of the stories they have come across.

The project ends on New Year's Eve and so there's plenty of giving still to come...

Pete Egerton is back with another football-themed episode and the focus is on Harrogate Town.

Town CEO Sarah Barry discusses how she thinks the season has gone so far and also details a number of positive changes, set to take place in 2023.

She also has good news for the Town faithful regarding ticket prices.

With an away match set to take place this weekend (17th December) at Doncaster, Pete also speaks to Jordan Ford from the independent supporters group.

Jordan organises the away travel and has information regarding the trips to Bradford and Hartlepool over the festive period.

Plus, a lot of pizza and money for charity too at their Christmas party...

22 weeks into Daniella's pregnancy, they lost one of their twin girls due to twin to twin transfusion syndrome. 

David explains the condition and how going forward, they aim to raise monies for further research and also, Pete discusses with David life as a PT at his gym "FBC Harrogate" and how he's on a mission to help many with their mental health...

And finally we hear from Amy Morrell, Manager of the under 14's at Pannal Ash. Amy said she never liked football but got into it via her football-mad son...

She talks about why she enjoys coaching and also why, in her opinion, the men’s game is still better than women’s football.

In this episode of the Your Harrogate Podcast, Pete Egerton is at Rossett Acre Primary and chatting to Ann Percival, the president of Harrogate Rotary club who are pushing out a book called “Watch Out” and an accompanying game “Mistakes and Ladders”.

The aim is to teach young people about the dangers they may be faced with and then they can decide what is right and wrong.

We also hear from the Headteacher Corrine Penhale and Assistant Headteacher Anna Ingle, plus some year four students who have read the book and played the game too...

"Save a life and call it in" is the plea to members of the public this Christmas from North Yorkshire Police.

The York and North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership are asking people to call out anyone who is behind the wheel when under the influence of drink or drugs, by dialling 999.

We've been catching up with Superintendent Emma Aldred from North Yorkshire Police who reveals all about the Christmas campaign and why she's urging people to have the confidence to call police when they see someone who could be a danger to others.

Pete also chats to Mark Churnock (AKA Marlon Dingle from Emmerdale) who is backing the campaign, and goes on a ride along with Roads Policing Sgt Paul Cording.

In this special sporty edition of the podcast, Pete Egerton is getting the latest from Harrogate Town and Harrogate Railway.

It's another special episode of the Your Harrogate Podcast in which we're talking all things fostering.

We're chatting to Karen who has been fostering children for a number of years and has experienced the ups and downs of becoming a foster parent.
