Council Publications
The Council Newsletter - The Moorsider
This is a quarterly publication which is produced by the Town Council giving residents a chance to see what is happening in the town and what issues are being faced by the council. Local groups submit articles and it is open to all to contribute to the newsletter. Deliveries are made to every household within the town by the local councillors and a small group of volunteers, whose support is invaluable.
The logo for the Moorsider was the result of a competition held by the Town Council in January 2007 where the local children were encouraged to come up with a design they felt best represented Kirkbymoorside. There was a huge response with over 30 entries and the winner was chosen by the councillors. The winning artist was Alice Garbutt, seen here getting her award from the incumbent Mayor Gaynor De Barr.

Kirkbymoorside History Trails
Such was the response to the competition for a logo for the newsletter that the councillors decided to incorporate one of those entries into another new publication. Rachel Stubbs' entry was selected as the logo for the front cover of the updated Town Council publication “Kirkbymoorside History Trails”. Rachel was invited to work alongside our graphic designer, Derek Thrippleton, from DT Design, through all the stages required to turn her picture into a piece of graphic art ready for publication. And here is the resulting cover.
This booklet is designed to give the visitor an otherwise hidden insight into the history of our charming market town by leading you along a series of short walks. Each trail has a map and a series of photgrpahs showing the sites of interest and giving a little detail of their past. For the more adventurous there is also a longer trail which will take you out into the surrounding countryside and through the chanming villages, passing by the Ryedale Folk Museum, and bringing you back into town. The booklet is available from the local bookshop, the Community Office and also direct from the Town Council Office. If you wish to purchase the booklet by post then please contact the Town Clerk by e-mail.
