In The Know Your indispensable guide to what’s going on where you live Tea With Betty At The Minster And We’re All Invited To Come Along!
T
he Art In The Minster programme has brought us some of our favourite cultural highlights of the last couple of years (remember the Chandelier Of Lost Earrings and the amazing Deities At The Bottom Of The Garden?) so it’s a real pleasure to learn that organisers Our Big Picture have announced a new series of events, beginning with Betty’s Windows, a commissioned exhibition of the work of local textile artist and tutor Jo Smith. It’s an embroidered narrative using stitch, found windows, belongings and little histories and offers the chance to look into the lives of a previous generation. Jo has won prestigious awards and prizes for her work. She’s a member of contemporary textile groups including internationally regarded Prism, new contemporaries Eleven and Louth Textile Group. She’s also resident artist at Grimsby Institute. The exhibition runs from June 13th to July 11th and is open Tuesday to Friday 9.30am to 2.30pm and Saturday 9.30am to 1pm. There’s also a fascinating programme of events to support the exhibition including the evening opening event on Wednesday 13th June from 6pm to 8pm where visitors can meet the artist and a series of workshops at which participants will have the chance to create a piece of textile art incorporating personal photographs, memorable items, fabrics, jewellery, clothing and found treasures. The cost of the workshops is £30. On July 7th there’s a special event – Tea With Betty – which will feature local history, family art workshops, a walking tour of Top Town with historian Emma Lingard. It looks like being a fantastic day and great value so do go along and enjoy! For further information on all these events or to book workshop places go to www.ourbigpicture.co.uk

£3.7 Million Pound Boost To The Local Economy From Dockside Regeration
P
lans have been revealed for a cash injection of almost £4 million for the Greater Grimsby Heritage Action Zone as part of the ‘Town Deal’, a package of plans for investment by government and local agencies. The Heritage Action Zone will see premises in the Kasbah, docks and town centre given a new lease of life for business and community use. The Kasbah was designated as a Conservation Area in 2017. Owners ABP, together with North East Lincolnshire Council and Historic England, are looking to exploit a living local tradition of producing smoked fish, and develop the area as a centre for artisan food, arts and media. Historic England will provide support and advice to the Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust and partners to look at possibilities for the creative re-use of the Ice Factory, an important building at risk which stands at the gateway to the Kasbah. The scheme will also involve work on Victoria Mills, the Cooperage, West Haven Maltings and Haven Mill, and creating space for events and activities around the Minster. As a result of the scheme local residents and businesses will find new opportunities to benefit from their local heritage, and visitors will discover a warmer welcome and a rewarding experience in Grimsby. Left: Councillors and representatives from ABP and Historic England welcome the announcement at The Kasbah
The Lincolnshire Show 2018 to feature an RAF100 theme There’s lots to look forward to at the Lincolnshire Show this year including several special exhibits marking the centenary of the Royal Air Force. Among the hundreds of exhibitors, performances and attractions will be an array of RAF themed activities and stands, including a Dakota flypast, a Spitfire flypast, a replica Red Arrow, mini tank driving for children and a special aviation themed treasure hunt trail. The event, which takes place on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st June, will also be recognising 100 years since the end of World War I and celebrating the best of rural Lincolnshire with a mixture of entertainment, food, shopping, music and agriculture.
The show will host a number of exciting animal displays, daring stunts and lively music in the main ring, and visitors will be able to satisfy their shopping habit by visiting more than 600 trade stands offering everything from clothes, jewellery and shoes to cars, lawnmowers and hot tubs as well as take home beautiful floral displays from the flower show. For foodies, Lincolnshire producers will showcase the very best of their wares, and there will be inspirational live cookery demonstrations from top local chefs in The Lincolnshire Kitchen. All in all it sounds like another fun packed day. We’ll see you there!

WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY
Go on treat yourself If there’s one thing that unites the world it’s the belief that the most delicious thing in the world is definitely, almost certainly, probably ..... CHOCOLATE. Nothing else comes close really and it’s high time that chocolate had some recognition in the form of a special day all of its own. Well now it does. So happy world chocolate day to you and make sure you get plenty of the good stuff.
W
ho’d have thought that the humble seed of an unremarkable looking tree could have such an impact on the world? Cocoa has been cultivated for thousands of years and was first encountered by Europeans when Columbus seized a canoeful on his fourth voyage to the Americas in 1502. Nowadays the average Briton eats nearly 20lbs of the sweet stuff every year and you can even buy chocolate coated crisps! Why do we love it so much? Some scientists believe that chocolate consumption triggers brain waves which cause us to relax. Others think it just tastes good. Most of the world’s chocolate now comes from West Africa and they need to produce a lot because it takes four hundred beans to make one pound of finished product. So make sure you treat yourself to a nibble or two on World Chocolate Day and if you’re looking for a special treat then remember that our friends at Sweet Indulgence have a huge selection on offer, including sugar and dairy free varieties, and of course lots of other classic sweets to really make your day.

TOUR DE YORKSHIRE 2018
AND A VISIT FROM THE SPANISH VUELTA ON THE CARDS? ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR!
The 2018 Tour de Yorkshire was officially the biggest and best yet with 2.6 million fans lining the route over the four days of racing. No less than 900,000 roadside spectators witnessed a gripping conclusion on Sunday with Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing) wrapping up the overall victory after Stéphane Rossetto (Cofidis, Solutions Credits) had secured a sensational stage win. Rossetto’s ride will go down in Yorkshire folklore after the Frenchman launched an audacious solo attack with 120km of the brutally tough ‘Yorkshire Terrier’ remaining, and evaded a vastly reduced peloton to seal the biggest stage win of his career.
Van Avermaet sprinted home 37 seconds behind Rossetto in second place to tie up the race leader’s blue jersey, nine seconds ahead of Spaniard Eduard Prades Reverter (Euskadi Basque Country-Murias). Last year’s race winner Serge Pauwels (Team Dimension Data) rounded out the podium, five seconds further adrift. More exciting news came with the announcement that talks are underway to bring the opening stages of the Vuelta, the Spanish grand tour, to Yorkshire. That promises to be a really exciting event and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed!

T
here are exciting times ahead at La Luna with new publications in the offing, social singing, music and poetry and a major new project funded by the Arts Council and bringing some outstanding creative talent to the town to work with local writers and performers. Best Words is a year long programme of poetry and music set to begin in the autumn of 2018. It follows on from last year’s hugely successful Young Voices project which gave young writers the opportunity to work with established writers and editors to produce work for a brand new anthology. Best Words takes this idea to the next level with Emerging Voices, a programme for young writers aged between 18-25. La Luna are also working with Lincs Inspire to bring a number of exciting poetry events to the area including a series of poetry workshops and performances at Cleethorpes Library and regular poetry cafe events at Riverhead Coffee in Grimsby. It’s not just poetry that’s on offer however. The Great Grimsby Community Choir will be producing two brand
new pieces for performance in the autumn, working with professional composers and writers on a suite of music to commemorate the end of the First World War and another to celebrate Christmas. They will record and make a CD to be launched in December 2018 and perform special concerts with outstanding guests to showcase these new works. There’ll be concerts, performances, workshops and events throughout the year to showcase new music and writing and to give audiences and participants the opportunity to work with professional writers and musicians. The La Luna publications list has recently been extended with the arrival of Calling To The Moon, a collaboration

The money is already in the bank for school fees and books, it’s just the necessary improvements to amenities that are required so if you feel like helping out why not give Mark a call on 07742 638423.

There are bikes for adults and children, and fully customisable too! You tell them just what you want and they’ll get it sorted for you. Prices start at £139 for adults’ machines and £39 for kids’ bikes so if you’re in the market for some new wheels, whether it’s a racer, BMX or shopper you’re after, Bike Fix is the place to visit.

It would be awfully easy to assume that everything you need to know about what’s happening in our area is centred on our three major urban areas - Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham - but in fact there’s always lots going on in the villages of North East Lincolnshire and some of our strongest communities and most vibrant businesses are to be found in our most rural settings, including superb quality hospitality and dining at Stallingborough Grange, educational excellence at Kumon in Healing, and the very best in holiday homes for your best four legged friend at Barking Mad, who are based in Holton le Clay. It’s businesses like these that make the villages of North East Lincolnshire such exciting and vibrant places to live!

COULD YOU OFFER A DOG A LOVING HOME WHILE THE OWNER IS AWAY? It’s great fun, all of the benefits of dog ownership without the emotional or financial commitment. We carefully match dogs to your home to ensure that both you and your guest have a wonderful barking mad experience.
My boys love their Barking Mad holidays! As soon as Claire arrives they know that they are going. Its lovely to see how excited they are because it gives me such peace of mind that they are getting the same love and care whilst they are away as they do at home. Kennels just wouldn't suit them and finding a service like Claire offers is brilliant, she is so caring and professional we wouldn't even consider going anywhere else.
