Owner Billy Moulds says, ‘Being a local Yorkshire company, we pride ourselves on exceptional service to leave our customers feeling on cloud 9’. So what does that mean? Billy continues, ‘Aside from doing a quality job, a vital

part of our service is showing our customers respect. It’s the small things, like turning up on time, cleaning up after ourselves and of course a warm Yorkshire greeting on every doorstep’.

The fantastic savings are made by replacing only the glass panes and not the expensive frames. Cloud 9 offer a tailored approach to each customer considering the best options available. This can include using the latest energy efficient glass to leave your home warm, cosy and keeping those utility bills to a minimum. Our glass replacements are backed by a 5 year guarantee, so you can feel confident of a job well done!

Hornsea Lions Easter competition sees a new generation of winners HORNSEA and District Lions Club ran an Easter colouring competition sponsored by Hornsea Tesco. Children from both Hornsea primary schools entered with the colourful selection of Easter artwork being displayed in the Hornsea Tesco store over Easter. Winners were selected from each age group and Hornsea Tesco presented each of them with an Easter egg for their efforts. One of the winners was eight-year-old Isabelle Cannell.

Salon owner Vicki said: “The past six months have been a bit of a whirlwind, but it’s been fantastic. Our clients as always remain at the centre of everything we do, and it is great to have such a loyal clientele. I am blessed with fantastic stylists all committed to providing our clients with the best possible service.” Recently Rosie, who is known to many of the salon’s clients from her years of hairdressing in Hornsea, has returned to hairdressing part time. After stepping in to help Vicki out at Christmas Rosie decided she missed working in a salon and now does every Tuesday and alternate Saturdays. Talking about her new role, Rosie said: “I love the salons new look, we have such a relaxed vibe here at New Beginnings, with beautiful decor, gorgeous plants, and scented candles all adding to the chilled atmosphere. The team are all great, and we have known each other for a long time so it's like working with family. I’m really looking forward to catching up with clients old and new.” Reflecting on the past six months stylist Becky added: “It’s been a hectic but exciting six months. The changes have all been fantastic. It’s been really special that our clientele have all remained with us, and we are as busy as ever. Vicki is always keen for us to be learning new methods, upskilling, and expanding our

creativity to keep producing great hair.” Stylist Natasha commented: “I've loved the past six months, we're such a friendly team and the ambience within the salon is calm and easygoing. Plus, our clients are the best. The team are all supportive and we are always developing new ideas to give our clients the best possible salon experience.” The salon continues to be as eco conscious as possible. They work with brands who are committed to sustainability. They stock and use vegan friendly products, and their colours are all cruelty, and PPD free. As the salon is now fully staffed they have extended their opening hours and are also able to take on new clients. You can find them on Facebook and Instagram. For appointments call 01964 537188.

INVESTING IN PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY By Emma-Jayne Saunt UP-TO-DATE technology boosts productivity, increases efficiency and strengthens company infrastructure, making work quicker and smoother. It lowers security risks and helps prevent accidental losses, eliminating glitches or obstacles can slow down or bring work to an unpleasant halt. It allows companies to spread their wings, enabling remote work and expansion. It’s often a costly but necessary and beneficial investment. The technology will be useless without a team of trustworthy employees who not only can, but want to, make it work. The

employees at their desks, and on the shop floor that use the company technology on a regular basis, it is in their hands to use this to bring out its best, or lay its value to waste. Trust in employees and ask them about their technology needs. They will know what they need, and do not need, and what works and what doesn’t. Try investing in the ideas employees may have for innovative solutions first before looking outside the company. Often team members come up with some great solutions. Encourage employees to learn and follow the latest and best in the technology options

available. Technology advances and changes so quickly, and the more eyes watching, the better. Train employees not only how to use technology as a tool but how to do without it, like pilots who must know how to land a plane manually if navigation systems fail. Emergencies do happen. The team must know what to do when things go wrong. Be honest and open with employees. Let them know when the company is up and when it is down. Bring them on board to share in enjoying the good days and weathering the bad days.

Hornsea Market Place news By Emma-Jayne Saunt from Trains Hair & Beauty MILLE Sapori a small French Italian restaurant in Hornsea Market Place has been awarded five stars for their food and hygiene standards. Congratulations to Horaman and his team for obtaining the highest standard recognised by the Local East Riding Council for their business practice.

The global pandemic has emphasised just how much we need one another, and that powerful lesson holds true in business as well as in families and in communities. These days, employees feel empowered enough to leave their jobs for better opportunities more than ever before. Keeping, nurturing and valuing workers is critical to avoid losing the benefits of their skills and talents. Employees are the main asset of any business. Invest in technology, but invest in employees even more. We must cherish and nurture our team.

Fashion show raises £700 to help provide research into Pulmonary Fibrosis A CHARITY fashion show has raised £700 for Pulmonary Fibrosis research at Castle Hill Hospital. The evening was organised by Hornsea resident Glynis North. Glynis lost her husband of 57 years, Vernon at aged 78, to the largely unheard of lung disease a year ago this May. Glynis has since decided to increase awareness of the disease as well as raise money for research so other families don’t have to suffer with the loss they have done. The fundraising event held at Hornsea Ex Servicemen’s Club was ran by Lisa and Sue from Missy of Hornsea on Newbegin. The shop organised the models and catwalk for the evening. Glynis said: “It was very professional. I am over

the moon with the amount raised. The room was packed and there was a really positive vibe. Everyone was very supportive of pulmonary fibrosis and I’m looking forward to organising an autumn fashion show. Thank you to Lisa and Sue and also to Terry at Hornsea Ex Servicemen’s Club. Also a big thank you to Jan Thompson for all the help with the raffle and to all the local businesses that supported the raffle with prizes. Thank you to everyone who came along and supported Missy and Pulmonary Fibrosis.” FASHION SHOW: The models at the fundraising fashion show

A CREATIVE TIME AT HORNSEA YOUTH CLUB by Youth Worker Allan Iles THE LAST couple of months have proved very creative at 1 Hornsea Youth Club. Our members have been busy creating their own masks, making mother’s day cards and beginning to design and create their own costumes for this year’s Carnival float. We have had a visit from Bumpy the tortoise. Our junior members got to ask Bumpy’s owner Ruby lots of questions about her. They were also able to feed and bathe Bumpy. On Thursday, April 14 we celebrated Easter with a visit from talented local artist Charlotte Eldred who ran an Easter doodle workshop. The members learnt how to draw Easter inspired bunnies, chicks and sheep and produced some fabulous work. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The club is happy that the light 2 3 evenings are with us once again and are looking forward to more outdoor activities. We still have plenty of places available for our senior session on Tuesday evenings so if you are aged between 11-18 and would like to come and see what the club is all about you can contact Amanda and Allan at the youth club email address hornseayouthclub@gmail.com Finally we are delighted to have been awarded an East Riding Council Positive Activities Grant for £2,000. We would like to thank Hornsea Town Council Clerk Joanna Richardson for her hard work in applying for the grant. 1. MASKS: Showing off the masks This will go towards keeping the club 2. DISPLAY: Creative talent on display running and providing free sessions to all our members. 3. ARTY FUN: Doodle demo with Charlotte Eldred

Your Health Service supports children and families in the East Riding HUMBER Teaching NHS Foundation Trust’s Your Health Prevention and Lifestyle Service would like families in the East Riding to know that their services are now available to support the health and wellbeing of children and young people. While Your Health services are increasingly popular amongst the adult population, the team believe it’s equally important to ensure that local families are aware of the support they and their children could receive as part of their free services. With the national increase in health problems in young people, including obesity, smoking and mental health, the team are based in the local community and are ready and willing to help you and your family spring into a healthier lifestyle. As part of this offering, the service is available to children and young people over the age of 8 years old, to provide motivation, guidance and support within four key areas: Healthy Habits • Smoking cessation, vaping, and alcohol abuse

Healthy Lifestyle • Physical activity, healthy eating and moving more Healthy Mind • Emotional Wellbeing, relationships, anxiety, and stress Healthy Routine • Sleep hygiene and oral health Ryan Nicholls, Team Leader at Your Health, Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Having delivered Health Trainer care for over 15 years in the East Riding, it’s been increasingly apparent that our support to adults could also be extended to children and young people. “We’re proud to be able to offer this increased scope of services to a wider demographic in the local community, continuing our efforts to raise awareness of the benefit of a healthy lifestyle, not only as an individual but also as a family unit.” For more information, visit: www.nhs-health-trainers.co.uk Alternatively, follow the team on Twitter @HealthTrainers1 or Facebook @eastridinghealthtrainers

Hornsea NCI update - Success with our recruitment campaign! By Andrew Garvey AS MANY of our regular readers will know, we at NCI Hornsea have, and continue to recruit new members to the watchkeeping ranks at our station. This has been particularly important as we come out of the Covid restrictions when, for a number of reasons, some of our members were unable to continue with their duties. Overall the response to our requests for volunteers has been extraordinary. Currently we have seven trainees in training, with a number more awaiting training slots to become available. We are delighted to report that over the recent months, we have some six watchkeepers who have successfully completed their training and assessment. The most recent tranche of four qualified over the last few weeks. This success opens up more training slots within our watches to take on more trainees, so our campaign continues to seek volunteers to join our team. The role of a trainee watchkeeper is very challenging in terms of the need to learn a set of ‘new skills’, which will for many be a new area of knowledge. I must stress that you don’t have to have

any nautical experience, as our training programme is designed for those who come without that seafaring background. You will be surprised how quickly you will pick up the information. However, it is true to say that the role is very rewarding. Those joining a team are dedicated to being able to provide an essential safety cover for those who come to Hornsea to enjoy the sea, beaches and walking along the coast and for those who work in our coastal waters. NCI Hornsea has a new recruitment officer, who is only too pleased to be able to provide full background information on the charity, its roles and functions. Andrew Elliott can be contacted by leaving your contact details either by – ● Dropping into the station ● Calling the station on 01964 530482 ● E-mail the station on info@ncihornsea.org.uk ● Online at nci-hornsea.org.uk.

Please leave your expression of interest or request more information and Andrew will be in contact with you ASAP. Essentially, the NCI is a part of the Safety and Rescue Services “family” led by Her Majesty’s Coastguard alongside other local and national charities, including Hornsea Inshore Rescue team, who provide rescue services within the Hornsea coastal area.

NEWLY QUALIFIED: (Left to right in the picture) Kath Robson Jervois, Neil Brown, Malcolm Herring (our station manager), Bob Watson and Ken Elbourne.

BELFAST A semi-autobiographical film, straight from Kenneth Branagh's own experiences, which chronicles the life of a working class family and their young son's childhood during ‘The Troubles’ of the late 1960s in the Northern Ireland capital. A nine-year-old boy Buddy (Jude Hill) must chart a path towards adulthood through a world that has suddenly turned upside down. His stable and loving community and everything he thought he understood about life is changed forever but joy, laughter, music and the formative magic of the movies remain. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, (who won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay), it stars Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan, Ciarán Hinds and Caitriona Balfe amongst its cast.

Genre: Drama. Rating: PG 13 (Strong Language and Some Violence) Runtime: 1hr 37mins NB: Although ‘Belfast’ is due to be released from cinema circulation on 25/04/22, on the off-chance that it isn’t, we will show an alternative film.

Update from Hornsea Carnival By Carnival Chairman, Iain Poole THE HORNSEA Carnival Committee team have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure the whole community has a Carnival for 2022. So, what have we been up to? As you can all imagine, a lot has changed over the last two years, and this year was a completely new committee which needed to find its feet as well as deal with all the challenges a post-covid Carnival entails. As well as finding out some suppliers have either retired or are no longer in business, we have seen price increase variations from 3% to 136%, which as you can all imagine has been a massive challenge. As such, it has taken quite a bit of time to get all our ducks in a row. We have secured a lot of entertainment for the weekend, with the emphasis on public participation. We wanted as many acts as we could get that would allow the children of the community to be involved instead of watching. Over the coming weeks we will slowly share with you everything we have arranged and what you can expect over the weekend.

Friday Night In addition to the traditional firework display we will have side shows, late night shopping with the Craft tent, Youth club disco for anyone aged 6-16, fairground rides, and hot food.

Saturday The Parade is back with a bang and has been put together by an enthusiastic team. Entry to the parade is for everyone, so if you want to get involved, please email: parade@hornseacarnival.org.uk We will have numerous events on throughout the day. As well as live music untill 5pm on the main stage, we will also be running the music tent, with all proceeds going to support next year’s Carnival. We will release more information as the we get closer to the event.

Sunday We have arranged more events covering the whole day, and a jam-packed main stage with numerous acts. The WI will be providing afternoon cream tea’s and cake in the event tent, with some live music TBC. The Hornsea Harrier Fun Run is back and would love to see as many youngsters taking part as

we can. This is a great way to start the day and is a proud longstanding tradition of Hornsea Carnival. No application forms are required, just turn up and run! More information will be on our website and social media. Tug of war is back, and Hornsea Inshore Rescue will be defending the Ray Poole ‘True Grit’ Shield for 2022! Do you have what it takes to beat them? Forms can be downloaded from our website. As well as these great events, we will be having a large build up to Hornsea Carnival and bringing back some long-forgotten traditions such as the Window Treasure Hunt, where children and parents try to find the object which is out of place in the shop. If you interested in your business taking part, please email chairman@hornseacarnival.org.uk We are running poster competitions for local schools to design posters for this year’s carnival. These templates are available from our website to download and can be submitted digitally to Hornsea Carnival by emailing them to social@hornseacarnival.org.uk, with the winners getting some rather nice prizes! All local schools will have templates that they can hand to any student who wishes to get involved. All in all things are looking positive and we are going from strength to strength in order to meet our budget, but still have a way to go. As you are all aware, Carnival can only go ahead with the generosity of everyone who supports it, from the residents to local businesses. To this end, we contacted 45 local business all with strong roots in the area to ask them for support. Our hope was, if we could get 45 to 50 local business to sponsor the event, anywhere from £100 to £1000, we would easily make up any shortfalls we would have. To this end and to be fair to each business, we left it entirely up to them to best decide how they wished to support us, and for any amount they could. We chose to have a lower starting donation in the hope that this would allow every business who wanted to support the Carnival to have the opportunity to do so, and that we might be offered several smaller donations, rather than none at all. I had hoped our positive approach would have appealed to all, but alas this was not to be the case and we had several declined, which was disappointing. We are also still waiting on some responses. On the flip side, we have had a

handful of local businesses and community groups offer support to Hornsea Carnival, and I would like to publicly thank the following for their generous support: Hornsea Lions, Sandsfield, Everquip, Robinsons Builders Merchants, Allan Binks Timber, Longbeach Leisure, Brewer Wallace Solicitors, Our House Estate Agents, Tesco of Hornsea and ABG Electrical Ltd. I would also like to thank a local resident of Hornsea, Mark Price, for his generous donation. We still have a way to go, and we would urge any business who wishes to support Carnival to get in touch. We now have the ability for you to support Carnival via our website! Our online system uses PayPal, and our website can now process donations! So, if you’d like to, you can donate to Carnival by heading to our website where you can “buy us a coffee”, which is our way of allowing people to make smaller donations to the Carnival which are greatly received! You could sponsor the Carnival by donating larger amounts if you wished to, and we would showcase your business all over our social media as well as our website, and allow you to have your branding at Carnival in one of the main areas. We attract over 20,000 people over carnival weekend. Our website and social media have over 40,000 hits per month and this increases as we get closer, as more and more information is added to our website, from event timings to competitions. Carnival for 2022 is going truly digital to help lessen our carbon footprint. We are also looking still for Committee members! We really need people who have experiences with content creation, web design (WordPress), Photoshop and social media to assist with our website, as well as anyone who has experience with running large scale events Remember, if we can all work together, we will be able to put on an amazing event!

It’s Your Community. It’s Your Carnival.

Active Coast’s free beach art sessions ACTIVE Coast, East Riding Council’s popular programme for residents and visitors to explore and enjoy life in the East Riding, has organised free beach art sessions along the coast to help people try something new. Beach Art with James Brunt will take place in Hornsea on Saturday, April 30. Visitors can join James in a beach art project and try their hand at stone stacking and/or sand drawing. The two sessions on April 30 run from 10am-12noon and from 1-3pm at Hornsea beach next to the rail trail marker post. Councillor Mike Medini,

portfolio holder for cultural and leisure assets at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Active Coast has been very popular in previous years and always offers a great way to improve your health and wellbeing, whether it be sand art work, volleyball or yoga. “I have no doubt there will be many more fun and interesting activities to take part in and I hope that lots of adults and families will want to take part again this year.” James will be on the beach throughout the day to help and guide people during the art session. The events are free and visitors are encouraged to drop in at any point in the day.

Hornsea Inshore Rescue update LEVEN “SEWFABS” DONATION Sewfabs (fabulous) is a group of ladies who set up around six years ago as a patchwork and quilting group based in Leven Sports Hall. At the beginning of lockdown Irene Smallwood of the group started to make facemasks to give away, but such was the demand that she started to sell them to raise money for charities. She then graduated into making Jubilee and garden bunting, again for sale, mainly through Facebook, and over the last two years has raised an amazing £8,000 for charities. The group has now made numerous items such as lap quilts and quilts for the Linus project. Charities supported include Dove House Hospice, The Poppy Appeal, Bundles of Joy and a Kenyan Orphanage. Irene tells us that once they realised Hornsea Inshore Rescue was a local independent charity, responsible for all its own funding, the group decided to make a donation. “We contacted Sue Hickson-Marsay who was delighted when we told her we wished to make a donation of £500 towards their funds. I had watched them launch the lifeboat on occasion and was very impressed with what they do.” Gratefully receiving the cheque at the Lifeboat Station, Sue expressed her gratitude on behalf of the crew, management and fundraisers saying: “It is so gratifying to receive these donations from local people who do so much to keep the organisation going and saving lives. These people are all lifesavers too for without them we would not be here.”

anecdotes are included from the 30 years the charity has been in existence. A mock call out is demonstrated and a demonstration of how the crew get kitted out for a rescue. This often includes a volunteer taking on a crew member to see if they can don all the survival kit quicker than the crew, who’s record is currently less than one minute! The visitors are then treated to a fish and chips lunch or supper provided piping hot from Whiteheads, Hornsea’s award winning fish and chip shop. After the meal the group is given a guided tour of the boathouse, lifeboat and facilities. For Fish and Ships events please contact Sue on 07796 257989

SAD OUTCOME FOR CALL OUT At 6.03pm on Friday April 1 Hornsea Inshore Rescue were tasked to go to the immediate aid of a dog which had been washed into the sea from Hornsea’s central promenade. Within minutes of receiving the call Hornsea’s very own lifeboat “Spirit of Hornsea” was on the scene crewed by Leading Coxswain Karl Shannon, with crew, Faye Melody and Rob Carthew. They quickly recovered the dog but it had already succumbed to its ordeal and despite their attempts, both on the boat and ashore, they were unable to revive it. Chair of the organisation and Station Manager, Sue Hickson-Marsay said: “The sea was pretty rough at the time with waves breaking over the prom and in these conditions it is difficult for anyone, person or animal to survive. The whole team found it very upsetting

FIRST FISH AND SHIPS OF THE YEAR Hornsea Inshore Rescue hosted its first “Fish and Ships” event of the year in April when it played host to the ladies from Beverley Trefoil Guild. The popular Fish and Ships lunches and suppers had been suspended during the Covid pandemic but are now back with a number of bookings already being taken. Groups of between 12 and 50 can be catered for and are treated to an illustrated talk along with videos of how the organisation developed and how it now operates. Plenty of stories and

Arts Society Holderness illustrative talk about Salvador Dali ARTS Society Holderness are holding an illustrated talk about this quirky artist, who did not restrict his creative output to painting but was also a writer, poet, engraver, sculptor, architect, theatre

designer, and jewellery designer. The talk will take place at Hornsea Floral Hall on Thursday, May 19 at 10.30am. Visitors are welcome for a suggested donation of £7.

and our thoughts are with the family who must be suffering. We regularly warn people about the dangers of a rough sea and high tide and advise people to keep well away from breaking waves. Particularly children and dogs because it only takes a few inches of receding wave to sweep someone off their feet and into the sea.”

CREW TAKE MARITIME CASUALTY CARE COURSE A number of Hornsea Inshore Rescue crew have taken part in an intensive three day Maritime Casualty Care Course delivered by Saviour Medical. Although already qualified in first aid the crewmembers learned more advanced techniques for dealing with casualties at sea. Station Manager, Sue HicksonMarsay, who also attended the course, commented: “I’m so proud of the team and the qualification they have gained. We will always endeavour to enhance our skills. Well done to all the crew, they have all thoroughly enjoyed the course.” Leading Coxswain Karl Shannon added: “It was a very intense three days and hard work, but we all passed and feel even more competent to deal with the medical emergencies which we so often have to deal with.”

HUG update – Planting hope and sadly more plant thefts By Councillor June Greensmith, Chair of HUG MARCH and April have been a busy month for HUG as the spring bulbs all emerge followed by the perennials that will spring to life for the summer flowering period. A lot of preparation and tidying up of the plots is needed to make sure the soil is at its best to support the new growth that will bring colour and form to be enjoyed. New plants are added and those that haven’t fared so well are replaced, sometimes taken into ICU at the allotment to be returned at a later time. The soil in the borders needs to be turned and fed and weeds removed to give the spring bulbs room to emerge. First is the humble snowdrop, followed by the golden glow of daffodils. Next the tulips with their wide variety of colours, grape hyacinths and the bluebells all making for a vibrant spring display of colour to tell us summer is on its way. Allotment work is also taking place with seedlings

being carefully nurtured, potatoes planted along with beans, peas, leeks, cabbage, cauliflower, beetroots and more… until all plots are full offering hope of a good crop. Fruit bushes are taking on leaf, fruit trees are starting to show their blossom. It’s a wonderful time of year watching life emerge from the ground giving the promise of stunning garden displays, plentiful vegetables and summer fruits. There are disappointments when young plants fall to a late spring frost or the birds get to the new shoots because we didn’t get them netted. But the biggest disappointment and sadness for the volunteers is when they find new plants in plots or at the allotment have been stolen. Why? We ask ourselves, we do this work for the

community, we give most of what we grow away to help others. The flower beds are there to make people smile. So why would someone want to steal from HUG? The taking of a cutting is not an issue but to take the whole plant is just wrong. I have caught people in the past and confronted them. It’s no surprise to hear them say they don’t think they’re doing wrong! Some will say: “I’ve paid for them through my

taxes” others are just rude. I was once told: “it all looks <insert unprintable expletive>!” One time a very well dressed older lady simply said: “I thought they were free”! But no matter, we carry on, so that the many can enjoy what we all enjoy doing for the betterment and positivity of our lovely Hornsea. If you see some in a plot that is not wearing a HUG Vest take a photo and send it to me.

HARE LADY FELTS INSPIRED BY A LOVE OF NATURE DAWN James has found a passion and talent for needle felting after lockdown. Having recently relocated from Essex to Hornsea Dawn has established her business ‘Hare Lady Felts’ inspired by the wildlife theme of her items. Dawn explained: “Before lockdown my hobbies were birdwatching, walking and drawing animals using coloured pencils. Obviously some of those had to be curtailed at the time of lockdown. Then during lockdown my daughter gifted me a craft experience and I used this for an online introduction to needlefelting, tools and materials as I had seen kits in craft shops, but prefer to learn a technique and then do my own thing. Needlefelting appealed because I enjoy drawing but wanted to try something three dimensional and I like the fact that it uses a natural material.” Dawn is interested in all aspects of flora and fauna but

has a special interest in animals and enjoys trying to depict a personality into her makes. She added: “Although I simplify the forms of many of my creatures I find an understanding of the skeletal structure helps with my designs.” Dawn uses undyed wool fibre from Yorkshire breeds of sheep for her creations. The length of time a piece takes depends on the size and complexity of the design with a day for a small piece to several days for a large piece with fur effect such as the large Highland cow pictured. Dawn added: “My favourite items to make are the hares, I like that I can tweak the design to make new characters while they are still obviously hares. “The item I made which has the most meaning to me is a Bauble I made at Christmas 2020 of my dog Dexter's head.

April edition of the Community News for her fundraising work in support of the refugee charity Welcome House in Hull. In the latest update, Monica is delighted to announce that sales of her book “A Pause for Thought” have now raised £1000 for the charity thanks to the generosity of Hornsea residents, friends, family, neighbours and local businesses.

Hello from the Hornsea and District u3a By Chairman, Jane Hardman What lovely weather we have been having recently, (I am writing this on Easter Saturday, it may change before this edition comes out!), but very chilly. Yet all the spring flowers are happily blooming giving us a boost for the coming months. Our April monthly meeting was a social occasion for members and visitors to go to the Floral Hall to meet up and pay their subscription for the coming year: it’s only an annual fee of £15, which hasn’t increased for a few years now.” What do you get for this?” I hear you ask. Well, the £15 is to be part of a nationwide organization offering fun and fellowship to its members. Each month we have our monthly meeting, usually with a speaker, to which all members are invited, and it also gives access to a number of interest groups run by members of the u3a. Many of these are free to attend and only incur costs if an outing is involved or occasionally a room hire charge. “Ok, what are these groups?” I know will be another question. Here is what we have to offer you. A Book Group, meeting the third Wednesday of the month in the Floral Hall café. Sets of books are borrowed from the Library and the cost is a cup of tea or coffee. • Fancy a board game? Join the Board Games Group which meets on Tuesday evenings, often playing Rummikub, but other games are available. • Bowls Group meeting weekly at the Bowls Club, with an offer of free lessons to new members. Joining the Bowls Club is required. • Fancy a game of cards? A Canasta group meets every week at Lucien’s Bar every Thursday afternoon. • A Crafts Group meets at on the fourth Tuesday of each month to spend two hours on their craft activity. • Family History Group meets on the second Thursday of each month, sharing hints and tips on how to delve into your past. • A new French Group has been set up catering for all levels, with the emphasis being on the spoken word. This meets every two weeks. • A spot of gardening, or having a look at someone else’s? The Gardening Group meets once a month on various days, often to visit notable gardens or garden centres. • The Great Escapers go off on various expeditions in their mobile homes or caravans in a venue chosen by the group. • Interested in finding more about our area? Join the Local History Group which meets at !0.30 on the fourth Thursday of the month in the Methodist Church. Talks are given as well as visits to specific places. • There are two Luncheon Clubs at the moment, so if you fancy a meal out with good company, join one of those. • Are you into various genres of music? Why not try the Musical Appreciation Group which meets every fourth Thursday to talk about favourite pieces of music. • Similarly, the Musical Instruments Group meets once a fortnight and members take their own instruments to play to the rest of the group. Everyone is an amateur and great fun is had by all. • The Poetry Group meets once a month on a Thursday afternoon in The Hollis Room (next to the Parish Hall) to read and discuss poems on a chosen theme. • Speaking of words, how about the Scrabble Group? This group meets once a month on the third Tuesday of each month, • The Strollers Group does what it says- stroll! This group meets twice a month and members volunteer to lead walks, mostly on firm ground a quite flat. It goes at a gentle pace so anyone can join in. • The Supper Club meets about every six weeks at various restaurants. Transport can be sorted out for those with any problem in that respect. • TED Talks Discussion Group which uses TED talks as a springboard for a lively afternoon. TED talks are presentations by professional speakers from around the world on You Tube. • Last, but not least we have our Theatre Visits Group. A wide variety of of shows and performances are offered to our members. The HART bus or Beverley Community Transport buses are used so there are no problems with parking. All in all, a splendid group to be with for an afternoon matinee or an evening performance. In fact, the next outing is to see Lord of the Dance at the New Theatre in Hull. There is still scope for more interest groups to be started: on our website: hornseau3a.org you can see information about all these groups, but also see the groups that have not restarted since the pandemic, for various reasons. Maybe you have a particular interest that you could share with our members: the idea of the u3a is that it is run by the members for the members and each group becomes a shared experience, both in leading it and participating in it. One reason for going into such detail as this about our activities is that in a recent publication, What’s On Hornsea, although we have a lot of space in it, there are a lot of errors about the u3a, i.e. cost, and groups mentioned that no longer function. Finally, one of the pleasures I had at our last monthly meeting was to present Mrs Sue Gray with a certificate awarding her honorary membership. Sue has been involved with the u3a in Hornsea since the beginning in 2009, and has been an active committee member for many years. She is invaluable as the current secretary. Thank you Sue.

The next monthly meeting is on Tuesday, May 3 at 10am for 10.30am in the Floral Hall. It is entitled The Gong Space. “What on earth is that about?” you may be thinking. Come along and find out!

Prize winning young musicians to perform for Hornsea Music Society By Sarah Perkins HORNSEA Music Society is continuing its short season of fundraising concerts in conjunction with The East Coast Young Musician of the Year Competition, but this time with a twist. The East Coast Young Musician of the Year Competition was founded 13 years ago to encourage young musicians to experience performing in a public setting. Over the years over 300 young people have taken part. Some of the winners have gone on to pursue a career in music, while others continue to enjoy a lifestyle with participation in music. Many of the entrants learn their instruments by following a traditional classical route, but others embrace performing a range of different popular styles of music. In 2018 new categories were introduced into the competition to encourage young performers with interests in different kinds of musical styles to participate in the competition. Obviously, due to Covid restrictions the competition was cancelled in 2020, but thanks to the cooperation of the University of Hull, it went ahead in 2021 by asking young people to record their performance and submit their entries via YouTube. These digital entries were then brought together at the University’s School of the Arts where excellent sound and vision facilities enabled the judging of the competition. The judges agreed that the selection of the overall winner of the East Coast Young Musician of the Year should be by a live performance, so this will happen at the concert in Hornsea. The concert will be at the United Reformed Church Saturday, May 21. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT WILL START AT 6.30pm this time. Tickets are £10 each, and are available from The Townhouse on Newbegin in Hornsea, or from Roberta Loades on 07816 863222. Accompanied children are admitted free. Watch out for details of the Platinum Jubilee concert on Saturday 4 June 2022 with Sharron Nicholson-Skeggs and Opera 17, with guest artists Andrew Powis, tenor.

HOPE EXPLAINED SESSIONS THREE sessions ran by Hornsea St Nicholas Church are taking place on May 14, 21 and 28 between 10am-12noon exploring hope. The Hope explored sessions will take place in Hornsea Parish Church Hall with free bacon butties or veggie equivalent and drinks and are for those worried about the future. This is a free course with everyone welcome but please pre book on 07415 416595.

Local man’s tractors raise funds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance By Stuart Kemp SINCE moving to Hornsea after retiring from a life in farming Paul Harper has for the past few years been raising money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA). Paul’s fundraising for YAA came about after a visit to the Lake District where he witnessed a road traffic accident involving a motorcyclist. He saw how important the helicopter is in terms of its quick arrival and departure ensuring the injured motorcyclist was

taken to a nearby hospital, which saved his life. Over the years Paul has built from wood a large collection of tractors and decided he would show them. He has now raised over £15,000 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance by holding a table display at various events and shows in Hornsea as well as having a table near Hornsea Floral Hall during the summer. Bob Smailes and Rob Scott the local representatives for

Rob's Rambling's TWIN granddaughter’s Imogen and Isabelle celebrated their eighth birthday in April. As a treat, instead of buying even more gizmo's that hold a young person’s attention just long enough to unwrap, we have made a decision to have a special trip out instead. Memory making! This year was the turn of a one off pantomime, Rapunzel at the Beverley Parkway Theatre, after we had a fun filled visit to a haunt of my own childhood, East Park in Hull. Now, just to set the scene, back in the early 60's my pal Shelley and myself were taken there by my Dad and Uncle Mick to enjoy a couple of hours climbing, sliding and as a special treat would spend time on the lake on a phut phut motor boat, which has sadly been replaced by pedalo powered, though graceful looking swans. All this whilst Dad and Uncle Mick had a Sunday pint! I struck this idea off my list when realising that out of the four of us it would be only one person providing the engine power....me! Next up was the eagerly anticipated

Yorkshire Air Ambulance are delighted with the efforts and contribution that Paul has raised in support of the charity. Paul is coming up to 85 years old and loves living in Hornsea with his wife Monica and his collection of tractors which are detailed to perfection. Paul’s models create a great deal of interest amongst tractor enthusiasts, and he has had many offers to buy them. He currently has no

splash boat, I used to love this as a boy, feeling very daring climbing the steps before experiencing what seemed to a young boy like dropping off a cliff edge. Sadly this attraction was closed, as it apparently has on and off for many years. As an adult I recall thinking I'd really made it when Mayor Brian Petch of Hull City Council decided that we should be pictured enjoying the ride as advertising for the revamped Hull Show, which we as a group of Hornsea pals revived in 1999 after an absence of a number of years. Heady times indeed! As we explored further we made a really exciting discovery, the animal park, with a diverse range of creatures from Macaws to Llamas and even the odd peafowl. It was quite a chilly day though so a number of animals decided wisely to stay indoors, so imagination was the order of the day at some pens. More than anything my memories really came flooding back with the rediscovery of the rock face, which, 50 or so years ago seemed like Mount

intention of selling them and will continue to raise money for as long as he is able to do so. He has recently built a purpose-

Everest. It doesn't look quite as I remembered but hey ho our eight year old girls would make up their own minds. Hopefully not enjoying what some of our more wayward peers back in the day! Believe it or not the corner shop on site sold cinnamon sticks, which were smoked by kids as an exciting revolt against mums and dads. We didn't check to see if cinnamon sticks were still the order of the day in the local shop, though to my mind it looked like they had been substituted with gaudy coloured slush puppies. With numerous other attractions to keep youngsters happy such as donkey rides, land train and a galloping horse ride there's a lot to offer at what is dubbed the 'Seaside in the City', even if just for the candy floss we all love.

Hornsea Ceilidh Band’s first gig is on the way! AHEAD of Hornsea Ceilidh Band’s first performance we asked band leader Alison Riley for the lowdown on the hoedown. Q: So, tell me, what exactly is a Ceilidh? A: They’re traditional dance parties with live music and a caller. Q: And, what exactly do you mean by traditional music? A: It’s a variety of jigs, hornpipes, reels, polkas and waltzes played on acoustic instruments – violins, guitars, whistles, drums, that kind of thing. Q: How will I know what the dance steps are? A: No problem – the dances are easy to follow and we’ll explain the steps before each dance. Q: When and where can we experience this toe-tapping ‘do’? A: Saturday June 11, at the Hornsea’s Floral Hall. Doors open 7pm Q: How much of our hard-earned will it cost?

A: Tickets are a very reasonable £10 each, and that includes a pie and pea supper. Q: Are we supporting a life-saving charity in the process? A: Yes we are, proceeds are for Hornsea Inshore Rescue. Q: Where do we buy our tickets from? A: Whether you’re on the prom or in town, pick them up from the Floral Hall (north promenade), from Hornsea Inshore Rescue’s Boathouse café (south promenade), and from the Leafy Seadragon refill shop at 30 Newbegin, Hornsea. Remember, it’s cash only! Q: You mentioned a pie and pea supper – what if you’re veggie? A: We’re catering for everyone, simply state your food choice at the time of booking. Standard is steak pie

and peas; veggie is cheese and onion pie and peas; vegan is jacket potato and beans. Yum! Q: What should we wear for a Ceilidh? A: There’s no dress code but flat shoes are recommended for dancing.

POEMS The Red Giant By Kev Naylor The Ukrainian borders Are broken down The invading red giant Is making ground He sent his rockets Raining hell from above Tearing through homes And spilling their blood His army advances Into their towns and cities Reaping destruction Without remorse or pity

The Ukrainians flee west With a war at their door Millions displaced Their homes are no more The red giant’s ambition Is to expand his empire To crush all opposition Releasing his hellfire

Fighting for freedom And the land they call home For their wives and families Where their children have grown The red giant does not care For the lives he has taken Just his outdated ideals And a misguided administration

But he underestimated The resolve of his foe As ferociously they meet him We pray for the Ukrainians Standing fast to oppose In their fight for survival Will they ever know peace The Ukrainian army With the red giants arrival Are no match for his might But still they stand bravely They do not take flight

Note: Kev has a book of 25 of his favourite poems inspired by his life spent in Hornsea and his work within the local countryside. You can get a copy of Kev’s booklet from him via his Facebook page and they are also on sale at the Salon Greenway in Hornsea and Leafy Seadragon refill shop on Newbegin

HART on the lookout for more volunteer drivers By John Rodgers EVER wondered who drives HART's minibuses? Well, most journeys are undertaken by volunteers and with the opening up of activities there is a need to recruit more. If you enjoy driving and meeting people, have a D1 on your licence and a bit of time on your hands – whether it be one day a week, a month, or just now and then - maybe it's for you. HART staff really value the time that volunteers so generously give, and volunteers find giving their time and any skills that they can share along the way often extremely rewarding. Most of the passengers enjoy a bit of banter with the drivers, as for some using the HART bus is the only time they get out of the house. Drivers receive all necessary training to carry out the job, along with on-going support. If you want to know more, do contact the HART office on 01964 536684 for a chat.

Meanwhile, HART's regular services in the Hornsea area continue:

277 to/from Hull), one journey in each direction Monday-Friday (not bank holidays).

Tools with a Mission [TWAM] - The journey of a tool or sewing machine

HOW exciting Alexandra appears to find it when anyone dons a pair of overalls ready for the next mucky job. So much so that her mum Debbie purchased a pair in toddler size to enable her first jaunt out, just like Grandad. But boy did she look unhappy to be changed from a very pretty pink attired lady into a mini labourer, ready for muddy church. Here she was able to search for and, if truth be known, attempt to eat a variety of delicious foraged articles. Stones seemed to be of particular interest, but luckily for eagled eyed mum they were not to be part of today's calorie count. Unlike, I suspect, long wriggly creatures that almost met an untimely end, narrowly escaping being eaten alive. Still we have discovered her love of nature with a real fondness for studying daffodils and even showing the caring side to her nature by picking daisies and buttercups as a present for granny to take home. Luckily there is no way of reaching the fish that are so appealing when the

EVERYTHING starts in Africa when TWAM’s partner organisations develop a vision of self-sustainability and make the brave decision to take their future and livelihoods into their own hands. They create self-help groups, community workshops and skill centres then ask for TWAM’s help. African people are very patient because they know that when they request help it may be up to two years before they receive their tools! TWAM’s Country Coordinators process and evaluate the applications and over 400 projects are supported annually. You, the generous public, donate items which TWAM collectors store and eventually send onto the workshops in vans driven by volunteer drivers. Tools, machines, etc are then cleaned, serviced and transformed into items that anyone would be proud to own. More volunteers then assemble trade kits for a variety of skills including carpentry, building, mechanics, plumbing, agriculture, tailoring and knitting; IT equipment [Windows 7+] is now used widely as well thanks to solar panels.

The journey ends with the lives of the tool recipients, their families and their communities being transformed by the donation of your tools and equipment! TWAM’S IMPACT ON THE EARTH TWAM is committed to saving tools from landfill and, even if a tool is really unusable, the metal is sold to be scrapped and used again including copper stripped from cable! The work of refurbishing etc saves approximately 1,153,549 kilos of CO2 emissions every year – less pollution! TWAM’S IMPACT IN THE UK There is a volunteer workforce of over 400 people across the country with many working in the Midlands and Ipswich centres making friends and socialising as well as giving African families a hand up. TWAM supports charities in the UK by passing on items that cannot be sent to Africa – we are passionate about helping where we can and making sure that nothing is wasted.

Since the February article we have emptied three sheds and a garage and collected four sewing machines and a knitting machine but we still need more as TWAM moves into a large new building and will be able to process even more of your donations.

HORNSEA PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB REPORT Compiled by Glenn Malkin and Ann Underwood 1

AS WE WENT to print for the April HCN issue the YCPG Millennium Trophy, hosted by Focus Bridlington was being judged. As this was a competition for individuals and not a club challenge there were only two entrants from our club. The challenge was to have two related images which were marked alongside each other. Gregg’s two Astro-photography images puzzled judge Paul Wilson who was a bit stumped as to what to say about them. It is an unexplored genre of photography! He was impressed with the quality of both images throughout and scored 18 points to each print (top marks are 20). Back to earth Scott’s two images 'Hunter' & 'Hunted' showed two angles of the topic. As usual Scott produced a great capture and composition, though the judge thought the bird was a tiny bit soft and had been overly sharpened to compensate. 'Hunted' , a hare, he thought was pin sharp and he was very impressed with the composition and the quality of the image. He also appreciated the lack of distractions in the background of both images. The eventual overall winner was

Noel Malone from Focus. By the end of the competition the judge had scored three pairs of images full marks (40 points) so the extra 5 bonus points for the 'connection' were awarded to Noel. Hornsea Photography Club met at its usual haunt of Hornsea Golf Club for the April meeting - these are always held on the first Thursday of the month. This was an informal meeting, planning in a bit more detail the activities for coming months as well as discussing what members have been up to over the past few weeks and months. The regular cohort of members were present and were joined by one new face who was hopefully made to feel welcome! Members often bring along images to share during our general discussion sessions. The recent Car Rally in the Hornsea area gave members the opportunity to share some great images of the cars, not always necessarily in contact with the ground! Members have also been posting selected photographs online showing they are getting out and about, whether it is portraits down on the seafront

or wildlife in our wonderful countryside. At our next meeting at Hornsea Golf Club on May 5 (7.30pm), Gregg Simpson will be giving a presentation of his amazing Astro-photography. Visitors to the Club's Facebook page will have seen some of Gregg’s incredible images of deep sky objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy and Orion Nebula. Such images, until recently, were only possible by using huge professional telescopes. Gregg will explain how he uses tracking equipment and a small telescope to gather the images and then process them to produce those superb results - all from his back garden! If this interests you do come along and join us for the evening. General discussion brought suggestions for practical location sessions including photographing some local sporting events as well as collectively supporting the Hornsea Carnival as official photographers. Details are to be confirmed and will be published on our Facebook page shortly. For future meetings we aim to set up a reptile photo-shoot (yes, you read that right); a practical session using a camera

rig on a car to create some special effects and a portrait session with our friends from the local Steam Punk community which proved to be such a popular event a few years ago. Dates for these will be confirmed soon. So, if you fancy having a go at something perhaps a little different, or would just like to chat about how to improve your photography, why not come along and join us? In addition to the regular meetings, each month we are setting a Facebook Challenge. In March it was 'Leading Lines', asking online visitors to upload images taken on this topic. Advice given to everyone reminded them to think about composition, use leading lines to draw the viewer's eye to a point of interest. Sometimes the line itself is the point of interest but also can be completely subliminal - keep it simple ...and have fun! Lest we forget, leading lines don't have to be solid, they can be 'stepping stones' to get you to a destination. New members are always very welcome to our club meetings irrespective of experience or the type of photography you

are interested in. Our club Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Horns eaPhotography ) gives information about our future monthly meetings, member's images and other photo-related discussions. We are a social club not taking ourselves too seriously and simply enjoy exploring together how we might take better photos and using YCPG competition meetings to keep in touch with other local clubs. 1.

The UK imports approximately £8 billion of fruit and vegetables each year, these findings show that green spaces in cities, such as allotments and community gardens, could play an important role in meeting that demand at a local scale. Urban farming has historically received little research compared to conventional farming. Knowledge gaps remain regarding urban crop productivity, pollinator dependency and pesticide use. This has potential implications for human and environmental health, but urban pesticide use is largely unmonitored and unregulated. Gardens in cities provide a long and continuous supply of energy-rich nectar from March to October, scientists at the University of Bristol have found. The findings are published in the Journal of Applied of Ecology. Despite huge garden-to-garden variation in both the quantity and timing of nectar production,

Happy 32nd birthday to Rosie the penguin at Sewerby zoo! STAFF at the zoo at Sewerby Hall and Gardens celebrated a very special birthday on Wednesday, April 20. Rosie the Humboldt penguin has reached her 32nd birthday, and the zoo staff believe that she is the oldest Humboldt penguin in the world. Head zookeeper John Pickering said: “Rosie is still enjoying good health, and clearly loves her life here with us! We go the extra mile to ensure that she is well cared for, and I am absolutely delighted that she has reached this amazing milestone birthday. “She is a grand old lady – the life expectancy of Humboldt penguins in the wild is 15-20. Rosie has been with us since 1990, and has successfully hatched chicks over the years.” Rosie enjoyed her birthday with her offspring Twinnie, Webster and Flip Flop and her first Grandchild Pickle who was

hatched last year. Rosie, along with her companions Dion, Pingu and Penny, have ensured the lasting popularity of the penguins at the zoo. All were bred in captivity and have played a vital role in the zoo’s breeding programme since 1990. Humboldt penguins are classed as vulnerable to extinction in the wild, because of changes in climate and overfishing of their preferred prey species. They are South American penguins and live mainly in the north of Chile. They nest on islands and rocky coasts, burrowing holes in guano and sometimes using scrapes or caves. In South America the Humboldt penguin is found only along the Pacific coast. Full details of all opening times, prices, annual passes, the Clock Tower Café, and all facilities are available at www.sewerbyhall.co.uk

pollinators are guaranteed a reliable food supply if they visit multiple gardens. This contrasts with previous studies on farmland, where pollinators are exposed to boomand-bust cycles of nectar production with clear seasonal gaps. This means the actions of many independent gardeners result in a more stable and diverse provision of food for city pollinators. The study measured the amount of nectar produced by flowers in 59 residential gardens in Bristol and found that individual gardens vary in both how much food they provide and when they provide it during the year. However, because flying pollinators like bees can visit many different gardens, they are likely to be able to find food in residential areas whenever they need it. Gardens are important habitats for UK pollinators, providing 85% of nectar sugar in urban landscapes and a great diversity of flowering plants. However, until this study we did not know how nectar production varied between individual gardens or through the months of the year. It is particularly important to

By Alan Tharratt understand garden-to-garden variation to advise how best to collectively manage our gardens for pollinators.” The variation between gardens was extreme, ranging from 2 g to 1.7 kg of nectar sugar through the year and this was not determined by the size of the garden but rather by how people chose to manage their gardens. This means that everyone has the potential to help pollinators in a meaningful way, even with a small garden, and there is a lot of room for improvement, with some gardens providing hundreds of times less food than others, depending on what people choose to plant, weed, prune or mow. Gardeners can help in particular by planting open flowers that bloom later in the year because in late summer and autumn 79% of nectar was produced by tubular flowers only accessible to long-tongued insects like bumblebees. Shrubs are also a recommended way to pack many flowers into a small space and were found to provide 58% of all nectar in gardens.

Plastic Free Hornsea Group and friends update by Beachcomber 1

PLENTY of sunshine over the holidays provided lots of touristfriendly weather giving local businesses a much needed boost after the post-Christmas lull. The breezy nature of our coast, coupled with the gulls’ insistence on poking through the bins, means there is always the odd bit of litter to be rounded up and contained! Our Eco Hub, located in beach hut No. 5 outside the Marine Hotel, hosted a visit from the King’s Mill Special School in Driffield who are regular visitors to our facility. Due to safeguarding regulations, on this occasion we have no pictures, but the group enjoyed themselves enormously! We also had two additional openings in the school holidays. These Wednesday openings were well attended by families, couples and individuals as well as staff and management from Hornsea Tesco on both days. Our local Tesco is embedded in the community and does much to work with and support it, often quietly and without fanfare. As a company, Tesco is at the forefront of reducing packaging and providing the means

CLiPS - Community and Litter Picking Services It has been a fairly quiet month for CLiPS due to a little necessary medical leave, but the routine work that is daily litter picking and cleaning rumbles on! In addition, a new design has been added to one of the inner parapets on the top of the Viaduct bridge (on the section of the Hornsea Rail Trail that we look after). A further design is planned for the other side, so watch that space! Among the odd finds this month was a ‘borrowed’ Tesco trolley found deep in the bushes bordering Hall Garth Park. It had been creatively decorated and was quite pretty. Our volunteer walked it back to Tesco getting some odd looks on the way! Also, we found a bag of cannabis elsewhere in Hornsea.

This was handed in to the Police station where it was recorded, and it will be sent for destruction. Three youths on motor scooters riding on the Hornsea Rail Trail were asked to switch off their engines and leave as motor vehicles, with the exception of disability vehicles, are forbidden on this footpath/cycle track. Due to their objections to being asked to observe the safety of that area, photographs were taken and the incident was reported to the Police, who have now dealt with it. We have asked for appropriate signage to be displayed at strategic locations on the Trail. Stream Dyke is looking lovely just now with clear water and signs of emerging life, and we hope to get a top dressing of tree chippings on the beaten track beside the Community Orchard in the near future. 1 - 4.

Alberta Canada – Part 5 An RAF Ghost Story by David Everard. David lives in Hornsea with his wife Noelle. We will share a chapter of the book he has written each month so please save this page, there are five chapters in total. This is chapter two which is split into two. Although the story is fictitious a large percentage is based on fact including the area, dates and times of where the aircraft and crew were stationed. The destination of their mission, the crash site, statistics of the raid on Leipzig are also true and can be seen and verified at The Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington near York. Names, nationalities and aircraft numbers have been changed to protect those who feel they may need it.

CHAPTER THREE I KNEW THAT FACE (part 2) That evening, I drove down to the pub in Atwick. Passing the lane end I visualised them waiting for me at that gate. I imagined them fretting, panicking, looking over their shoulders at the slightest movement near the stile. I couldn't go back empty handed. I felt a desperate need to find something quickly. I stepped into the pub hoping the locals would know the little girl who had found the memorial. It seemed to be common knowledge. They all knew her, as the family still lived in the village. Her name was Georgina Wood. One local told me she had found the memorial three years ago and asked the Air Ministry if they could remove it from the track as it was getting damaged by tractors and horses that had been running over it. This, the Air Ministry had allowed them to do. It was re-sited near the stile by Georgina's father. I thanked them for the information, left the pub and made my way to the Woods` house and knocked on the door. A familiar face greeted me I recognised him from a christening party we had both attended a few months earlier. Hello George," I said a little surprised, I didn't know you lived around these parts. I was hoping I could have a word with you and your daughter about the memorial in the field." At first, he looked at me a little strangely but soon realised who I was and asked me in, and introduced me to his wife, who promptly asked if I would like a cup of tea? I explained I was doing some research about the crash site. I really didn't want to complicate matters. George and his wife were very helpful and pulled from a drawer, letters, postcards, newspaper snippets and other paperwork relevant to the airmen and the memorial. George explained how Georgina had found the forgotten memorial stone and had been deeply saddened by her find. She had turned to see what she had thought were men in dirty yellow suits. But then could see nothing. “To this day, she believes she saw the figures of the airmen!" said George as he passed over my tea. I didn't really know how to react at that moment. So, I sat back and drank my tea. I sat looking through the papers whilst George explained some of the photographs that littered the floor. Photographs of the airmen and photographs of the airmen's relatives who had come to Atwick a few years ago to attend a church service the Woods had organised in memory of the airmen. I noticed a clipping from a newspaper, the heading "Lissett and the Reapers Ghost Bomber" This heading had me snatching it from the floor. So fast was my movement George flinched, "something of

interest?" he said. “Yeah," I muttered as I scanned the page. The story read that a bomber and crew had taken off on a bombing operation over Germany in early 1943, but unfortunately had not returned. Since that night a ghostly shape of the same bomber had appeared over Lissett, each time spelling doom to at least one or more crew’s from 158. The "Reapers Bomber as it became known to many at Lissett was such a perilous warning that most crews would try almost anything to be stood down on the following night's operations. Dates of the sighting were October 1943, one crew killed. January 20th, 1944, one crew killed. February 19th Chuck's crew killed. April 10th, four crews killed. July 18th, three killed on one bomber, seven killed in another. Then only two days later it was seen again, this time spelling doom for another crew of seven. Then on the 12th of August 1944 it was seen once more, one crew failed to return, whilst the fate of another crew that left Lissett was never determined. even to this day. Within days the Phantom Bomber was seen again, and another crew was lost. This sent a shiver down my spine: I just couldn't imagine taking off in a bomber after seeing an ill omen of such magnitude, an omen that was telling you that you were going to probably die that night. Now I understood Pilot Officer Norman Gaffery. he was a braver man than I’d ever be... I put the piece of paper down and carried on with our conversation, but really my mind, after that, was elsewhere. Georgina came into the room, sat and listened to our conversation. I smiled, said ‘Hello' and asked what had compelled her to do what she had done. She sat quietly for a moment or so contemplating her answer then said shyly “I just sensed they were there watching me! Needing my help! I thought I saw men who seemed to be wearing some kind of yellow suits and jackets. Then they just disappeared! It was really strange. As I walked back to the gate I thought I heard voices, pleading voices, but I couldn't see anybody. I told my dad, he came to look. but there was nothing! “Were you afraid?"" I enquired. No, not afraid, just concerned. I turned to George and asked if he had any information on Flight Sergeant Fitzpatrick. Interesting you are saying that he said we have all the names of the families back in Canada and as you can see photographs too. We’ve even met or spoken on the phone to most of them, but we have nothing on Fitzpatrick, only this old photocopied photograph." He produced it from the letters and cards and handed it over to me. I couldn’t believe it. I really tried to hide my emotions, but it must have been very plain to see. I knew then that if he was alive I could find him. I don't know why I felt that way, but I did. The photograph had been taken on a beautiful summer's day. Where, I didn't know. And, of course, nor did George. There was a large lawn with fully leafed trees in the distance. A good-looking young man sat on a bench with a happy-go-lucky smile and bright eyes, full of life. He was dressed in a smart light grey uniform with a dark peaked cap. On his shoulder the embroidered words CANADA. I wondered how many photographs like this were on walls and dressers all over the world: loved ones that had not returned. He reminded me of someone, whom I wasn't really sure. But I had seen that face before. Maybe he just resembled a friend or someone l’d met during my work. I travelled all over the place meeting people. I suppose the law of averages could account for that: but I did know that face. I looked up from the photograph and asked George where it had originated. George shook his head: a strange expression crossed his brow.

Yorkshire Water to report near real time discharge data YORKSHIRE Water has committed to increasing transparency around storm overflow discharge data by moving to near real time reporting, as part of a range of measures designed to help people understand what is happening within their rivers and beaches. In addition to publishing event duration monitoring (EDM) data on its website yearly, the utility plans to develop interactive maps to allow customers to check spill data and frequency at Yorkshire’s coastal and inland bathing waters. It will then add all overflows to the interactive map. The near real time discharge data project is just one part of a range of measures aimed to improve transparency and reduce the frequency and impact of storm overflows across the region. By 2025, Yorkshire Water will invest over £790m to improve rivers across the region, including: • Improving 640km of our rivers through our £500m+ programme to remove phosphorus from its wastewater treatment works, reducing the amount of this harmful substance by 56% compared to the end of 2020 baseline phosphorus load in the Aire-Calder, Don-RotherDearne and Swale, Ure, Nidd and Ouse catchments. • Investing £137 million by 2025 to improve, investigate and increase monitoring on storm overflows.

• Improving the water quality at the UK’s first inland river bathing water in Ilkley, by investing £13m in the 25km upstream of the bathing water site. This includes disinfection at three key wastewater treatment works, which will benefit the people bathing in Ilkley, but also river users upstream at Bolton Abbey and Grassington • Investing £2m to reduce the risk of nitrate pollution at Hornsea Mere, which is in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.

additional measures we’re going to take to ensure this work is done quickly. We’re committed to further expanding transparency around our storm overflow data, making significant investments in our overflows and storm tanks to reduce the frequency and impact of discharges, improving the quality of the treated effluent returned to the environment and focusing on improvements upstream of Yorkshire’s first inland bathing area. “We are committed to improving Yorkshire’s rivers, but Another area for investment is we know we can’t improve river increasing storm tank capacity at health on our own.

Reflection of the Month – Christians Together Hornsea By SF from Church without walls Hornsea SUNRISE on Easter Sunday last month was at ten to six. Did you know some of us from the Hornsea churches went to the Promenade by the Hub to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at 5.45am? Yes, it really is that significant! Jesus said: “ I am the way the truth and the life – no one comes to the Father , except through Me.“ Over the Easter period we had all been reconsidering how Jesus accomplished this. How wonderful it is that He opened up the way for anyone ...ANYONE to know God as a Father and friend. He paid the heaviest price to do this. He allowed Himself to be crucified. He took the punishment for all our sinfulness. A deeply

So it was with incredible JOY, that the believers at that ancient time discovered that He was stronger than death – He was ALIVE! That’s the joy that got some out of their beds recently to worship, celebrate and thank Him that He is the

resurrection life. The way has been opened for us, for you, to come to Him, get to know Him every day, in every situation. So do come to the Father; His love for you is utterly overwhelming. Just accept it ... You don’t even have to get up early!

Interview with a Good Boy: an in-depth worldexclusive with Bo by Karen Whitchurch REPORTS have reached this newspaper that local canine celebrity, nice-but-naughty Bo (AKA Bo Jangles, Bo-Diddly, wiggly-pig) having reached the grand old age of nine months, has renounced his Bad Boy persona and put away puppyish things. Can this be true? If it is, what a mini-miracle, and what a story! Bo doesn’t do interviews, but in response to blatant bribery, has agreed to a one-off, and I’m on my way to meet him. We rendezvous at Bo’s Hornsea home, where his manservant (Jim) welcomes me, explaining that big brother Arlo (AKA Goldenballs) will not be present, in the interests of blessed peace and quiet. ‘Thank you for this,’ I say. He shrugs. ‘His call. Nothing to do with me. I’m just staff.’ Bo, reclining on his tweedy, king-sized bed, receives me in the sunlit kitchen. There are wags and wriggles, but not the anticipated onslaught, mainly because he’s too busy munching on a buffalo-tail. ‘Would you care for one of those?’ Jim asks. Is he having a laugh? ‘Ermm, I’m vegetarian.’ ‘No problem,’ he says, ‘we’ve got avocado chews, and…’ I smile sweetly. ‘Thank you, no. Work to do.’ ‘Whatever.’ He withdraws, and I’m instantly mesmerised by Bo’s best-in-show looks: the green, Sphinx-like eyes and copper-coloured coat, the lean, muscular body, the noble attitude, the calm demeanour. He has certainly nailed the no bitey/scratchy/jumpyup-at-visitors thing. I take a seat, ‘Hi, Bo, nice to meet you. Have you settled in okay?’ Ensconced on his cushion, Bo carries on munching. He looks fit and well-fed. The water-bowl is full. There are Kong toys in evidence. Of course he has. Glancing round, I remark: ‘Nice bed! Luxurious. And not

shredded, unlike the first two. No plans for another disembowelment, clouds of stuffing from here to Withernsea?’ A slight raising of the eyebrows: evidently not. Silly question. ‘Have you really stopped licking the dishwasher and drinking from the toilet?’ A disdainful sniff. The look says: Wasn’t me! Arlo done it! ‘You’re all finished with scavenging, stealing stuff and eating furniture?’ A sigh, a snort, a pained expression. I look around. He hasn’t touched a thing. ‘Is it true you were born a farmyard dog? Bit of a wild boy?’ Bo considers this, before ripping into a nice bit of sinew. He’s admitting nothing, perhaps he’s ashamed, maybe he’s forgotten, but I know. One of ten. The raucous puppyhood explains a lot. Yet just look how he’s adapted to the indoor life. ‘Okay last question, bit delicate, how’s it going with the, you know…weeing and pooing indoors?’ The eyes narrow. The tail swishes. I’ve embarrassed him. He’s clearly over all that, has buried the guilt, and butter wouldn’t melt. I a good

boy now. And so he is. This looks like a case of Sudden-Onset Maturity Syndrome. Not uncommon in young dogs, occurring almost overnight, to the delight of frazzled puppyowners everywhere. The editor’s going to love this! We have a goodbye cuddle, and I whisper: ‘You are such a good boy.’ Bo wags, grins, and gets stuck into what’s left of the buffalo tail. We understand each other. Jim sees me out. ‘Bo is just great!’ I tell him. ‘I think your job here is done.’ ‘Not down to me. I’m only the…’ ‘I know, staff. Well, give him these from me.’ I hand over the bag of pigs’ears, trotters and tripe sticks. ‘And, please, help yourself. There are plenty to go round.’ And the message is: Don’t despair! However long it takes, however naughty your puppy, bear with him. He’ll get there. As they all do. Obedience-training: booking now for the course commencing Tuesday, June 21.

Coasting Along By Justin Furapaddle HISTORIANS may well look back when analysing the Spring season of 2022 as one of the major turning points of world history. A period of great uncertainty, upheaval, and earth-shattering events. We are living in uncertain times with the threat of nuclear war, rampant cost of living rises and a virus that continues to spread all combining to adversely affect the prospects of all swathes of populations. Looking for any kind of silver lining in these scenarios is difficult to find and predict. I do think though that every country should have its own Department of Lies with a specially appointed Minister of lies to oversee the quality of lies to ensure that only the most outrageous lies get the most publicity. After all we get plenty of ordinary lies but are now moving into the realms of ‘whoppers.’ The job of Minister of lies could hardly be any easier as all that person need do is to deny everything especially when challenged as to why it’s a lie. Answer: Deny it. It goes something like this:” Minister, I represent the Daily Bugle and would just like your comment on the latest lie.” Minister responds:” I deny it.” Reporter for the Daily Bugle:“ But I haven’t asked a question yet.” Minister replies: “I deny it,” Next question. “Mr President,” Your country has 100.000 troops massed on the border of the Ukraine, do you intend to invade that country? Minster of Lies for Russia. “I deny it and I deny we have denied it and have every intention of denying it.” Not that we are immune in this country, as we already have our own Ministry of Lies but have shared the job of Minster of Lies with every member of the cabinet. I understand the Prime Minister himself ‘Chairs’ a weekly meeting on which facts to deny. Hence, we never got to know for certain if, at that non-event party, the cake was taken out of its Tupperware box and consumed or left ‘in situ’ for another occasion. (I suspect though that this publicity has done wonders for the sales of Tupperware as did the Pizza outlet in Woking benefit from Royal sponsorship.) Of course, it’s a fine line between what are blatant lies, disinformation and disingenuous threats. I was reminded of this only today when the Minster of lies in the Kremlin went even further when it was said that any more attacks from Ukraine on Russian territory would be met with a similar response of attacks on Ukraine. What does that person think has been happening for the last fifty days? How much damage, destruction, death, and all sorts of horrors must be inflicted on that beleaguered country to ‘level up’ what is being done to Russia? Has something happened that we know nothing about, where Russia has been invaded by a vast mechanised army from the Ukraine, had its cities been reduced to rubble and where thousands of its citizens have been killed and millions more made refugees?

Looking now on home issues I was intrigued to read that Barristers are set to take industrial action over the issue of legal aid payments (or lack of, to be more precise.) I somehow cannot square this idea of industrial action with the legal profession. Does it mean that Barristers are to give up on wearing wigs in exchange for pit helmets, changing their gowns for soiled boiler suits and their shiny patent shoes for hob nail boots? Evidently not, but I can reveal that their desire to take legal action has been seriously constrained by their inability to get it funded by legal aid! Still every cloud has a silver lining when it comes to the legal profession because arriving over the horizon is the cavalry in the form of one rider, the Home Secretary, and the policy of sending illegal immigrants from Dover to Rwanda. This has all the marks of a bonanza for those barristers who practice the area of law known colloquially as ‘human rights.’ They are set to have a publicly funded field day. This policy has ‘failure’ written right through it although the alternative suggestions are not only in short supply but non-existent. What the person in the street in Kigali thinks of it all has not yet been ascertained but perhaps more adverts on the pitch side at Arsenal FC will draw a wry smile with the added appeal to ‘Visit Rwanda.’ Perhaps the tourists could travel on the same planes as the illegal immigrants (and at a far cheaper rate for travel and accommodation.) Of course, finance and ‘how to make ends meet,’ is uppermost in many people’s minds especially at this time when we are beset from all sides with the prospect of ever rising demands on our incomes from every source. In particular domestic fuel and foodstuffs. I think though by my study of local life I may have come up with a partial answer. It is a bit dramatic but if we declare Holderness to be a Republic and therefore no longer part of the UK. We can all then legitimately declare to enjoy “Non-domiciled UK “status when compiling our tax returns, which will mean we pay no tax on our incomes earned in Holderness. There is a minor snag in this arrangement in that we must sweeten the exchequer by making a deposit of £30.000 to show our good and honourable intent. This may prove a difficulty for some but as we will be our own Republic and governed by our own laws, we can reduce this £30.000 significantly, for example, £3 quid should do it. Fool proof. Failing that all we need to do is search for another of those ‘loopholes’ in the tax system that have been put there as if by accident by the very people who, surprise – surprise, benefit most from them. Simple really. I hope everyone is enjoying the better weather and welcoming visitors to our town. (Is it me, but does not our Hornsea area seems to get a more popular location, year on year for visitors?) I just hope they don’t start demanding more music and fresh air!

JOINT PAIN – THE KNEE By Graham Janes

WHAT IS IT? Pain in our joints is a very common problem with many possible causes but it is usually due to an injury or arthritis, especially as we age. The advice below is designed to give you a more informed idea of what is causing the pain in one joint or many joints at the same time so you can get the correct care. It is strongly advised to get your joint pain diagnosed by a qualified health professional as soon as possible. Knee Pain The knee is probably the most susceptible and commonly damaged joint as it takes the full weight of our body but, having pain in the knee does not always mean that we have a joint problem. POSSIBLE CAUSES OF PAIN IN ONE JOINT WITH NO INJURY ● Osteoarthritis – more common in the older generation with pain and stiffness in both knees and mild swelling ● Bursitis – the area will be warm and red and the pain and swelling will be worse when bending or kneeling ● Bleeding (in the joint) – you will have swelling, warmth and bruising ● Gout (or Septic Arthritis) – you will most definitely have sudden attacks of severe pain and the knee area will be hot and red. The big toe is usually affected before any other joints but when it affects the knee, it is known as Pseudogout; both Gout and Pseudogout are forms of arthritis POSSIBLE CAUSES OF PAIN IN ONE JOINT DUE TO INJURY ● Sprains and/or Strains – pain after overuse, twisting or overstretching ● Tendonitis – you will usually get pain between your kneecap and shin ● Torn Meniscus, Cartilage, Tendon or Ligament damage o Meniscus ● Pain in the joint which can present on the inside, outside or at the back of the knee ● It will feel as though it is catching or locking ● Unable to fully extend or bend the joint ● You will probably start to limp o Cartilage ● The joint will lock or buckle ● You will experience popping or crunching noises when walking especially when you go up or down a hill or stairs ● Dull pain underneath the kneecap and an inability to bend or straighten the knee properly ● Difficulty in bearing your own weight

● Feeling of catching or locking ● Trouble weight bearing ● Foot numbness o Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) ● An audible ‘pop’ or a popping sensation in the knee ● Severe pain and an inability to continue the activity ● Rapid swelling and loss of range of motion ● Instability and it will feel as though it wants to give way o Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) ● Swelling, instability, stiffness and difficulty in bearing weight ● A sharp or dull pain around the back of the knee ● The joint will be tender and the back of the knee may be warm ● Tingling or numbness around the joint ● Osgood Schlatter’s Disease – this usually affects children and teenagers who will get pain and swelling below the kneecap ● Dislocation – this will be quite easy to spot as you will be in pain and your kneecap will change shape Less common causes of sudden joint pain include: ● A fracture ● Reactive Arthritis – this tends to develop after an infection and is more common in younger adults ● Psoriatic Arthritis – this is a type or arthritis that can affect people who suffer from Psoriasis ● Rheumatoid Arthritis – this can start in just one joint and the pain will initially come and go. It will usually start in the hands, wrist and feet and may also make you feel generally unwell and/or tired ● Septic Arthritis – this is a serious condition that causes a very painful, swollen and hot joint that you will not be able to move and should be brought to the attention of your GP immediately ● Other causes can be attributed to repeated dislocations of the same joint, tropical infections, crumbling of the bone and cancer WIDESPREAD JOINT PAIN is less common and is usually caused by one of the following: ● Rare types of arthritis such as: o Ankylosing Spondylitis - a chronic, debilitating and painful type of Arthritis affecting our bones, muscles and ligaments o Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis – swelling

will start in one or more of the joints and usually happens before a child’s 16th birthday and is slightly more common in girls o Reactive Arthritis – see above ● Behcet’s Syndrome – this is a rare and poorly understood condition that causes inflammation of the blood cells ● Henoch-Schonlein Purpura – another rare condition that is only usually seen in children where the blood vessels become inflamed ● Cancer ● Treatments that involve using Steroid Therapy ● Hypertonic Pulmonary Osteoarthropathy – a disorder that causes the fingers to ‘club’ and affects those suffering from lung cancer ● Sarcoidosis – this condition sees small patches of tissue to develop in our organs WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? If you have suffered an acute injury or are in a lot of pain then you should go to A&E to have it checked straight away. Other joint issues, especially widespread or pain that presents itself for no reason should be seen by your GP at the earliest opportunity. For other injuries or aftercare, book into the clinic to make sure you receive the right treatment and get a bespoke rehabilitation programme all tailored to you. On strength, the muscles around the knees are very important. The Quadriceps (quads) are our ‘natural knee brace’ and are the most important muscles to work on to keep our knees strong. Make sure you also work on your Hamstrings (back of the leg) and the Gluteals (your butt) to balance out the muscles.

Time is running out to take part in the Housing Needs Survey TIME is running out for residents to take part in the Housing Needs Survey which is your opportunity to tell East Riding of Yorkshire Council about your current home and what the future need for housing might be in your household. The survey can be accessed by the weblink: www.tinyurl.com/22HNSS. A spokesperson for ERYC said: “Residents' views are important to us and the information you provide will help us to build a comprehensive picture

of the need for homes in our area and help us to ensure we meet the needs of our diverse communities. “The East Riding Housing Needs Survey will allow us to capture a high quality and realistic view of the pressures which our residents might be facing in relation to housing – either for themselves or members of their household. “You may have concerns about whether you would be able to afford a new home or you may live in a home that’s too large or small for your needs. It may be that you have a family member who wants to

move out and start living by themselves but hasn’t yet been able to do so. Equally, you may be happy in your current home but we would still like to hear from you. “The information we gather from this survey will feed into a project which will allow the Council to establish the level of housing need in our area as well as what type of need there is. The evidence will support policies to be set out in the East Riding Local Plan which is currently being updated and will provide valuable evidence when planning applications are reviewed with reference to the type, tenure and general mix of a housing development. “The time taken will depend on your individual household circumstances, but we suggest the average will be 7 – 10 minutes. Responses will be anonymous, but we do ask for data about where you currently live to help us to see where the need for homes is.” The survey will be open until May 6.

By improving strength, you will be increasing the support around your knees and that will in turn allow us to carry out simple everyday tasks such as standing up, sitting down, getting in and out of the car, walking, climbing the stairs plus so much more. Keep an eye out for future articles where we will explore causes and symptoms that affect other joints in the body. Advice on this or any injury can be discussed by simply getting in touch via phone, email etc with me or Eleanor at the clinic where we will be more than happy to help.

o Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) ● Pain ranging from mild to severe ● Stiffness and swelling ● Tenderness along the inside of the knee ● A feeling that the knee may give way or lock o Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) ● Pain, tenderness and swelling along the outside of the knee ● Decreased range of motion

‘Crossing borders from the Danube to the Humber: Alfred Gruber and Friends’ – a new exhibition for Beverley Art Gallery A NEW exhibition at Beverley Art Gallery, opened on Saturday, April 9, presenting the outstanding work of Austrian-born sculptor, Alfred Gruber, and the artistic friends he encountered on his journey from Austria to East Yorkshire via Switzerland and Prague. Having travelled from the Danube to the Humber, Alfred Gruber settled at Welton in East Yorkshire in 1969. The new exhibition tells the story of the artistic journey of this exceptional artist, whose work was invariably experimental, emerging from an exploration of materials and sculptural form. The results, which were often interactive,

could be funny, forceful and at times painfully direct. Throughout his journey, artistic friendships and partnerships were forged. They included modern Swiss architects and artists including the young David Weiss (one half of the celebrated artistic duo Peter Fischli/David Weiss), who was Gruber’s mentee. Despite language, social and cultural divides, Gruber formed friendships with leading Czech artists like Čeněk Pražák and Jiří Kolář, through a shared love of art. But it was the artistic and personal relationship with the English-born sculptor Jacqueline Stieger that ultimately steered him towards Yorkshire.

The exhibition has been supported by Arts Council England, the Anglo-Austrian Society (Otto Harper Award) and Czech Centre London. It opens at Beverley Art Gallery on Saturday, 9 April and runs until Saturday, 2 July. Exhibition Curator, Dr Gerardine Mulcahy-Parker, will be offering talks and guided tours - check the website for details: www.eastridingmuseums.co. uk Entry to the exhibition will be free and there is no need to book in advance. For full details of the opening hours of Beverley Art Gallery, which is located in the Treasure House in Champney Road, visit: www.eastridingmuseums.co.uk

Hornsea District Walking Club walks report Compiled by Arnold Underwood with contributions from Neil Patrick and Carron York walk involved walking a narrow pavement and then grass verge for half a mile before leaving the noise and fumes behind to head across two cropped fields and down a steep bank. They crossed the curiously named Bennidale Holes and continued into Cowdale. The path through this mile-long shallow dale is shaded by a narrow, mixed plantation on its south east side. Here they stopped for lunch before moving on under blue skies into Rabbit Dale where they saw the only red kite of the day. Along Rabbit Dale there were several badger setts, some apparently still in use but, unsurprisingly, rather less evidence of rabbits. At a junction of dales they joined the Chalkland Way through Oxlands Dale, and up the short, steep, aptly named Shortlands Dale, to the road at Foxcovert Farm. Thence it was along field headlands above the wide shallow Aunham Dale with extensive views north towards Wetwang across big fields with test crop plantings in places. To the east, could be seen what appeared to be a layer of mauve cloud hanging over the sea. A gradual descent of some two miles down off Tibthorpe Wold and into the windbreak wooded Green Lane, with anemones and daffodils in sunny On Sunday, March 27 just four walkers took up the challenge of this 12 mile hike on the Yorkshire Wolds, spots, brought them back to their cars at Cadger one being 'substitute' leader Neil Patrick, standing in Castle. The question now was what to do for refreshment on for Graham Hadfield who unfortunately had tested positive for COVID. So on Mothers' Day morning, the Mothers' Day? So they headed to the Victoria in weather bright but chilly, the four, comprising a sister Wetwang. There, whilst preparing for a second sitting and brother, a merry widow and the leader, set out in lunch, the rather busy staff served up a satisfyingly large pot of tea outside in the sun, which was much an easterly direction on this twelve mile walk from Cadger Castle, a short distance south of Wetwang. A appreciated. few years back, the name of this Wolds village It was worth the trip up to Fordon on the edge of the caused much mirth amongst presenters and others Wolds near Staxton on Sunday, April 3. Fourteen employed in television. So much so that the village Club members met up at Fordon crossroads for this appointed a Mayor - the first being the late Richard 'shorter' walk led by Carron York. This is remote area Whiteley, of ITV Calendar & Countdown fame, who was then succeeded by BBC Look North weather man of the Yorkshire Wolds - rolling hills and dales crisscrossed by a network single-track roads linking little Paul Hudson. Soon after setting off the walkers villages and hamlets on the border of East and North passed some large chicken sheds then turned north Yorkshire. Despite a pessimistic weather forecast of and came to the A166 Driffield to Stamford Bridge road. Safely across they continued along a farm track cloud the group set off in sunshine which would stay with them, along with light cloud, for the entire 7½ then a section of the dismantled railway line in the miles. The walkers headed up the hill towards Wold direction of Fimber. After Wetwang Grange and then Newton past the tiny St James' church. At the top Station Farm under a clear skies, Wetwang Station they turned left onto North Coates Road, which is Cottages came into view, from where began a zigzag actually only a rough track, heading east with views south by way of tracks and field paths into Wetwang itself. Avoiding the main road through the village, the towards Cans Dale. After about a mile the track drops down to a road. After a short walk back along walkers headed along Northfield Road, whose the road a right turn took the walkers into Cans Dale, residents have fine views northwards. Gardens and with buzzards soaring above. After passing Danebury verges displayed lovely arrays of daffodils, grape Manor they found a good spot for lunch where their hyacinths and other spring flowering plants.

For much of the way the walkers themselves back by the traffic-crowded and rather were accompanied by daffodils but the field of less interesting main road. This tedious part of the

Club Walks

Sunday, March 20 was a much better day for the rescheduled Winestead walk, postponed from February. This was led by local farmer and Walking Club member, Steve Smith, in his own locality. He was therefore able to make use of farm tracks that would normally be 'out of bounds' to casual walkers. Today 12 of us plus a leader started our walk from a point in the middle of nowhere just outside of Patrington. It was sunny but the breeze was a bit nippy. About an hour into the walk we took a coffee stop by Weldon's Plantation near Withernsea. Continuing north it was soon time for an early lunch in the woods at the entrance into Burgany Hall, with the woods providing shelter from the strong wind. They could have had lunch at the nearby Great Newsome Brewery but alas it is currently closed on Sundays! The walk finished back at the farm in Winestead, with drinks and cakes kindly laid on by the leader himself thank you Steve. A great way to round off a very pleasant 8¾ mile walk through the Holderness countryside.

cowslips, near Danebury Manor which were marvelled at in 2019 were saving themselves for next month. After a brief encounter with the Wolds Way they headed down through the delightful Lang Dale and North Dale back to Fordon. They stopped off for refreshments on the drive home at The Anvil in Wold Newton. It would certainly be possible to complete the walk in time to have lunch in the pub if desired. Finally on Sunday, April 10 a walk on the North York Moors from the hilltop village of Gillamoor down into Farndale. This is a walk that the Club has done several times to see the display of daffodils in Farndale at this time of year. The dale around Low Mill and Church Houses can become very congested with visitors, so it is a better idea to meet up in Gillamoor and walk down into Farndale and back via Lowna, a round trip of between nine and 10 miles depending on the precise route. Once again there was a substitute leader for this walk with Alan Tharratt taking on the role in place of Carron. On a fine spring morning the walkers set off from Gillamoor, first taking in 'Surprise View' on the edge of the village before continuing by way of field paths and country lanes to reach Harland Moor. After crossing Harland Beck the route entered an 'oasis' of fields around Harland Farm. Through a gate in the boundary wall and the walkers were back onto the open moor, crossing an expanse of heather to reach the edge, overlooking Farndale. Here there are great views here across the dale to Blakey Ridge. The path then descends past rocks and boulders and disused quarries, before turning down through woodland and the garden of a cottage to reach Mil Lane. Low Mill at 'daffodil time' is invariably busy with a car park, teas, and toilets for the visitors. The main 'tourist' path heads north through the daffodils to High Mill and Church Houses. However the Club walk turned south here to head down the dale from Rawson Syke to Dale End Bridge. From the bridge, the walk followed the River Dove downstream through woodland with plenty of daffodils but very few people. Arriving at the road at Lowna, this walk had a 'sting in the tail' because Gillamoor is only about half a mile up the road, but the 'up' is about 300ft! A good reason for a drink in the Royal Oak at the end of a 10mile walk!

Other walks by Club Members: David and Margaret, who live in Barton-upon-Humber, have done a couple of walks on their 'home ground' in Lincolnshire. Julie has explored around Wharram Percy and Burdale, whilst Arnold and Caroline have walked from Millington round via Givendale, and further afield on

the North York Moors near Goathland and Grosmont. On Good Friday six club members did a walk on the edge of the Wolds from Wayrham Picnic site. This walk included a couple of steady climbs in preparation for their visit to the Lake District at the end of April.

Scheduled HDWC walks coming up Summer Evening Walks. From May through to the end of July there will once again be a programme of popular Wednesday Evening Walks.

HORNSEA CRICKET CLUB update

By Secretary, Ian Bottom SUMMER is on its way and cricket is back! Saturday, April 23 saw the return to the league fixture programme with 1st and 2nd Team matches running through to midSeptember 2022. There are many exciting developments for the Hornsea Junior Cricket programme too with All Stars, Dynamos and competitive fixtures running alongside weekly coaching sessions see below details. We look forward to welcoming you all back to the Hollis Recreation Ground for Cricket and refreshments. Seniors Saturday 23rd April Middleton/North Dalton 224 vs Hornsea 1st x1 227-6 (10 points) After a useful practice match at Brandesburton CC the week prior, Hornsea travelled to the Wolds in confident mood. The ground looked in fine fettle and the home skipper had no hesitation

in batting first. Openers R Woodmansey 41 and R Syrett 48 set the tone for a large score before both became victims to the medium paced trundle of Medforth. Hornsea’s ground fielding held together well although dropped catches resulted in a couple of painful/delicate injuries. Only J Addy 35 held the innings together before a late flurry from I Wilkes 47 presented the hosts with a par score. Joe Butterworth 3-35 was the pick of the bowlers with 2 wickets apiece for Richard Medforth, Josh Marson and Nick Moulds After tea, skipper Jon Fisher 74 with newly broken finger set about the home side’s bowling, Paul Clappison 45 providing the steady influence in opening partnership of 101. Following the pattern from earlier, the middle batting failed but the everreliable Richard Medforth 51* was joined by Joe Butterworth 22* in a partnership of 56 to see the team home.

Hornsea 2nd x1 142-3 (10 points) v Hull Zingari 141-9 New Hornsea captain Mark Brightmore won the toss and chose to offer Zingari 1st use of the batting pitch. The visitors will be slightly disappointed with their efforts as only C Rollinson 36 and B Hutson 37* made the most of the conditions. All four bowlers performed well with Karl Greenwood 3-48 and Mark Brightmore 4-27 picking up the majority of wickets. After tea, the new opening pair of Rich Hornby 17 and Dan Dales 33 saw off any potential early scares before both being dismissed. It was left to a stylish James Vickerton 52* and skipper Mark Brightmore 27* to see the hosts to a comfortable victory. Thanks to Emily Whitehouse for scoring and both Barry Senior and John Savage for umpiring in the cold conditions.

On The Bank Tansterne Fishery By Ron Bulless WEEK of the April 11th -17th and the sun shone, the wind dropped, and the fish woke up. The winter leagues are well and truly behind us but there will be a few Surprises with the odd frost in April knocking the fish back every now and then. We will be having knock-ups every Friday afternoon and Sunday Morning throughout the summer season with a few exceptions when club matches are booked on. Things got underway on Friday the 15th with a dozen or so anglers fishing for prize money over 6 hours Aaron in peg 7 weighed in with 130lb 07 oz followed by Simon in peg 21 with 79lb 13oz and Andy in peg 14 with 71b 13oz - this was followed on Sunday 17th with Steve Pulford in peg 16 with 134lb 01oz and in second was Mike Bassett in peg 27 with 95lb 110z and in third peg 5 col Marker with 80lb 01 oz. I spoke to Mike about both matches and he said on the Friday the fish were taking meat and corn but this changed as on the Sunday he had 1 skimmer in the first hour until he changed to banded pellet and then he was catching for fun but had given too much time away fishing Fridays tactics. We are at that point in the fishing season when the fish are not feeding properly as the weather and air pressure are still key factors and this coming week, we have the odd frost forecast. Let me expand on this - a few weeks ago the water temperature reached 14c which is good for this time of year then we had a week of bad weather and low pressure plus frosts and the water temperature dropped to 8c - this switches the fish off feeding - now this last week we have had air temperatures of 17c bring the water up to 12c and climbing. Air pressure and water temperature affect the swim bladder of the fish which in turn dictates how they feed - in addition to this we are entering the spawning period - with the silvers spawning several weeks before the carp - if you catch bream and lde now you will feel how rough they are and this is a clear indication that they are about to spawn. It is the water temperature which is vital to the timing and the survival of the eggs and fry and whilst silver fish will spawn in lower temperatures the carp need a 20c to get on with reproducing. In some years you will see the fish spawning more than once and this can be due to a sudden

drop in water temperature after they start - so the females will retain the eggs until it warms up again. When the spawning season is at its height, we ask anglers not to put fish in nets as it can cause distress to the fish and interfere with the spawning period. Good anglers understand and put the welfare of the fish first - others do not care BUT the better care you have towards the fish the healthier stock of fish there will be in years to come making bigger catches possible. I have been asked about pricing and once again we have kept our prices the same at £8 and £7 for OAPS and children under 16 accompanied by an adult. Our costs have risen as they have for other fisheries and I know of several now charging £10 that was introduced after covid but with all other demands on families budgets we will do our best to keep the prices the same for another year. When you look at angling and the peg fees involved - where else can you go for six to eight hours and only pay £8. I have had my grandchildren stay this week and I got the shock of my life - theme parks knocking off £1 for OAPS on a £35-£40 entrance fee and children over 9 paying full price. A day at such a venue for me my wife our daughter her husband and two kids £242 and then travel and food on top-I could fish for a year for that money. Fishing once you have the equipment must be one of the cheapest sports as a participant you can do and at any age - I find it fantastic when fishing with the kids and helping them catch fish - to them a 4lb carp is a monster and a story that will last all year telling their friends and relations. At Tansterne we are continuing the fishing lessons £30 for 3 hours with equipment bait and tuition included and if you do not catch 20lb -then money back. Remember local knowledge is the key and when you visit a pond ask the bailiff or owner what the best baits and best pegs for the conditions is or even better ask anglers already on the pond if they are catching and what are they using. At Tansterne me and Mike are here to help so please do not be afraid to ask us anything - we want you to have a great day’s fishing so that you come back and visit us again and tell all your friends what a great fishery we are. Tight lines Ron Bulless

Hornsea A weekend away at Classic Motorcycle Racing Bowling Club at Pembery Race Circuit By Ron Bulless

By Chris Mayne Local Photographer Chris Mayne’s has enjoyed a weekend away in the South of Wales at the beginning of the Classic Motorcycle Racing at Pembery Race Circuit. The weekend began with a long drive down to Llanelli. The weather was looking dull and grim but I was in high spirits for the beginning of the Motor Sporting season. The first day and the first Classic Racing Motorcycle Club (CRMC) event of the 1 year and the weather was glorious, in recent times Pembery has become the CRMC's favoured season opening venue. Its a long journey for myself and many others ,but a fun circuit to take pictures. With its brilliant corners, curves and straights and some amazing views to take pictures of. It was a busy and full two days with its fortytwo race / four parade weekend including four rounds of each club championship plus a round of both the ACU UK championships that the CRMC is proud to run - the classic 500/350 and the post classic 1300/750. 2 The roar from the bikes as the first hour of the day consisted of nine solo practice races and one sidecar practice race determining what qualifying position you would be held in. Race 1 F750, Moto Superbike & PC Super Stock 750cc and as the start of the first race rolled around, it was time to get set up off the first bank of the starting line. It was the perfect place for me to capture the riders, knee down and big smiles all round. This is what it was all about, sun shining, bikes roaring and a whole lot of

pictures. As day two came around and already 21 races down, it was back to the starting lines for the 750 and 1300cc classics, starting the day right with the big boys. The crowds where a lot smaller for day two falling on Easter Sunday but that was perfect for those clear shots I needed. As the day came to an end with an amazing parade and a total of 43 races all that was left was the trophies. My personal favourites from the weekend would have to be Richard Molnar placing first in both race 22 and 33 on his Ducati / TTF1 / (1199) racing for the 750's. Also number 42 Alex Sinclair riding his Kramer / Morph / (690) and placing first in both race 25 and 36.

Absolutely amazing to watch these men fly around the track, smell the oil, hear the roar of engines, it certainly made you feel you were part of the race ,what an absolute amazing weekend, I would recommend it to anyone. Photographs by Chris Mayne Photography

THE Hornsea Bowling Club was formed in 1911 and is an outdoor flat green bowls club situated on the northern outskirts of Hornsea just off the Atwick Road. We opened the green on Friday, April 15 to welcome bowlers back and also to allow new members to have a little coaching from Di Oldroyd, one of our club coaches. Di needs a special mention as she captains’ teams, is the club secretary, does many other things and finds time to coach and encourage new members. The weather was wonderful at 17c and we had Di with the newbies on a rink and then three rinks of triples and pairs to get the bowlers back to outdoor conditions after a season on the indoor carpet. The club has a new kitchen thanks to a grant, the interior and exterior have had a lick of paint and the green is in very good condition for the beginning of the season. Work is being undertaken to have new ditch liners and new impact boards for the first games of the season. Half of the old green has been removed so we can still play one way until Dales come to fit the new materials on April 27 with the first league matches

Hornsea Bowls Club are ready for the off By Neil Gabriel HORNSEA bowls club are ready for the off, with the clubhouse refurbished, the green looking in great condition and the new ditch and back boards being replaced things are looking good. Following a good registration day we are happy that a few new faces have joined the club and we wish them well. The fixtures are now out and

in the first week of May. We have a new committee at the club with Pat Plumb coming in as club President and myself, Ron Bulless, working alongside him as Vice President. Hopefully this brings new innovations and fundraising to this long-established club. Further we have Di Oldroyd Secretary and Ken Sutton Treasurer and Alan Chapman Trustee and further committee members in Pat Chapman, Linda Beighton, Mike Ginnelly and greenkeepers Mike Watson, Alan Bell and Pat Plumb. With potentially 8-10 new members things are looking up and we will be playing in the Monday evening league, Tuesday/Thursday evening league with two teams, the Wednesday afternoon league with two teams, a new Friday Aussie 7's in the afternoon and the Saturday afternoon league - so something for everyone. On the 24th we will hold a competition where bowlers will play in triples but have an individual score card. After each game lead bowlers will move right or left if they won or lost and second bowlers will do the opposite. After the second game skips will move right or left depending if they won or lost and leads will do the same. After the next game skips and second bowlers will move- this will ensure that players have no advantage playing with certain individuals. Any players not club members can come and play by registering with Ron Bulless 07711 936611 or ron.bulless22@yahoo.com We look forward to a new and exciting season and anyone interested in joining us please come along.

the season starts with an intriguing fixture, on May 4 when Mike Ginnelly takes his vets team to play a local derby against Hornsea Prom start time 2pm. The Driffield evening league kicks off the following evening when captain Ron Bulless's side have a home fixture against Beeford and Mike Watson team have an away match at Brandesburton both games will begin at 6.30pm. The Hull EBA triples league captained by Patrick Plumb begin on Wednesday 11 with a home fixture against Fenners although generally league's fixtures take place on Monday evening. The Saturday league captained by Diane Oldroyd will start with a home fixture against St Catherine's. We are all looking forward to a successful and enjoyable season and if anyone fancies having a try at bowls please come along and have some fun you will be more than welcome.

Brewer Wallace Spring Triples at Hornsea Indoor Bowls Club ON SUNDAY, April 3, Hornsea Indoor Bowls club held the Brewer Wallace Spring Triples. Brewer Wallace kindly donated £350 as a prize fund so that the club could run the event and raise funds. The day was to be a drawn out of the hat triples competition where each bowler had to take a turn leading, going second and skipping their team. Ron Bulless, organiser, and his trusty assistants Graham Watson and Alan Hardaker took control of the draw. Some strong combinations were drawn together Di Oldroyd/Angela Cleveley/Ann Ash and Lis Watson/Barbara Simmonite/Sylvia Dunn but the final trio of Ron Bulless/Dave Lee/Nick Cleveley had cries of fix and we may as well go home. Now I have organised eight such events at the club and the favourites never tend to win as it is over such a short format of four matches of six ends played over five hours, that anything can happen. In the event, each team plays two games then break for lunch. On Sunday Sandra had slow cooked two joints of beef and then had them simmering in

gravy so the orders at lunch time were fully booked. In round 1 a team of Anita Osbourne/Mike Watson/lan Newmarch won 9-1 the favourites of Ron Bulless/Dave Lee/Nick Cleveley also having a good win 61 to put these two teams in the lead. When we broke for lunch, it was a different story the team of Bulless/Lee/Cleveley had been beaten but only just to a wonder wood from Barbara Simmonite. The favourites were one down in the match but laid shot with a bowl to come to a displaced jack 12 inches off the ditch and four feet to the right of the spot. Barbara, who we believe has never skipped before, delivered the perfect wood to come up six inches short and in front of the jack. Nick Cleveley had the last wood but he not only had to beat Barbara's wood but he needed to stay on for two to win the match or clean the wood out for a draw. His wood came down with enough speed and on a very good line but sailed past by a matter of inches. So, at the lunch break we had the team of Lis Watson/Barbara Simmonite/Sylvia Dunn on

maximum points and multiple teams on two points but the buzz around the dining area was of that wonder wood. Round 3 saw the leaders only getting a 6-6 draw and Bulless/Lee/Cleveley bouncing back with a 6-2 win and the team they had beaten in round 1 Barry Jones/Johanna Akeroyd/Bridgit Lee had won their last two games to sit third. It would all come down to the last round of games and four teams were in with a chance of winning but all teams but one could end up in the prize money - so it was all up for grabs. Every game played with intensity and there were not more than two shots in any of the final round results. It was going to go down to the wire and shot difference would come into play. The first team to finish was Bulless/Lee/Cleveley v M Watson/Osbourne/Newmarch and this ended up as a 5-5 draw which meant the favourites were going to be in the places but did not know where. The team of Jones/Akeroyd/B Lee could get second if they won and it went down to the last end and finished 4-4, they then had to wait for the

result of L Watson/Simmonite/Dunn - if this team lost, they would drop to third on shot difference and the favourites would sneak it. Again, it went to the last end and a victory five shots to three had this team over the line to become champions.

Full results First: On seven points and plus five shots Lis Watson, Barbara Simmonite and Sylvia Dunn Second: Ron Bulless, Dave Lee and Nick Cleveley with five points and plus nine shots Third: Barry Jones, Jo Akeroyd and Bridgit Lee with five points plus two shots It was not over, there was £54 in the corner to corner challenge. This is where each player has two woods and you bowl corner to corner with the furthest 10 woods removed in the first two rounds then eight woods removed until you get to the last five woods and then nearest the Jack wins the pot with a second placed prize as

well. L am delighted to say that Alan Hardaker who sat out to let someone bowl because of the numbers and who opened up the club at 8.30am and helped Graham Watson with the scoring and cards was the winner but it was very close as Dave Lee was only a further three inches away for second. I would like to end by extending my thanks to Brewer Wallace for sponsoring the event, my wife Sandra Bulless who spent eight hours in the kitchen and behind the bar, Graham Watson and Alan Hardaker for helping me run the event and Sylvia Dunn for running her raffle to raise further funds. Graham, Alan and Sylvia are supportive committee members who attend, enter and help run and raise funds at each of these events, they attend every event and make my life a little bit easier. Again thanks to all the bowlers who turn up for these events and last but by no means least Brewer Wallace this year’s event sponsor.

Hornsea Golf Club - SWING into Golf Charity events in celebration of Stret By Yvonne, Nathan & Tasha AS THE season is fast approaching and this year, we have no Covid restrictions in place, we have now finally got the celebration events for Stret organised at Hornsea Golf Club. Dates for your diary are Thursday 19th and Friday 20th May.

Thursday 19th May As last year we will be running an individual Stableford competition just for our members; gents, ladies and juniors. Times should be booked as normal a week in advance, entry fee will be £5 per person and prizes will be awarded per division. If we can arrange the weather to be better than last year, we will do our best.

Friday 20th May This year we are planning to hold an open team event, unfortunately, last year this had to be cancelled due to Covid. This event is open to members and non-members. The timesheet for members to book is open now. From 1st April we will open to visitor bookings. The details for this event are on the poster attached and displayed in the clubhouse.

Friday 20th May - Evening As we couldn't hold a normal funeral for Stret, we will be holding a celebration evening in his memory on Friday evening. We have organised entertainment from 'Breeze' and hope to have a barbecue running through the afternoon and evening. As many of you will know 'Breeze' are a group of young lads who all used to attend Junior Golf lessons with Stret, with the Andersons still members of the club. Stret was always very proud and encouraging of their achievements both in golf and their music careers. We hope that anyone that knew Stret will come along and celebrate his life. We will have memory boards up in the clubhouse if you have any photographs of Stret that you would like to add, we will love to see them all. If possible, could you confirm with the Pro Shop if you are intending to come along on Friday evening, we just would like to keep an eye on numbers to ensure we don't run out of beer! Can you imagine what Stret would say to that!! All money raised over the two days will be for the charity set up in Stret's memory, SWING into Golf which will be providing funding to ensure that children in the Hornsea, Holderness and East Riding area get a chance to have a go. It just leaves me to say thank you to all our family, friends, and members for their incredible support over the past almost two years. I hope that many of you will be able to attend some of the events, or if you are unable, you will take some time during those days to remember him.

Hornsea Harriers update MARATHON 57 IN HELMSLEY

By Mark Williamson This week’s marathon distance took me to Helmsley on Friday, March 25. Sleeping over in the van with a wake up call of 4.30 am. cup of tea and a bacon sandwich then a coach transfer to the start at Guisborough. The sun was shining too bright for my liking, and at 8am we were off. Ahead of us was 55 miles of glorious countryside all the way back to Helmsley with 2700 metres of climb thrown in for good measure. It was going to be tough going in the heat but the views were more than worth it. At 25 miles I was ready to throw the towel in but tootled along and before I knew it was at the last checkpoint at White Horse. At this point the sun was getting ready for bed and it was much cooler. Out came my torch and I was feeling much better running from this point all the way to the finish, a good day running. Marathon number 57.

HORNSEA THIRD By Neil Pratt Sunday, April 3 saw the return of the Hornsea one third marathon, starting from Great Hatfield on a chilly Sunday morning. The Hornsea Harriers were out in force with 12 members running and some running their first event for the club. This popular event had an entry of 334 runners on an undulating course. Rob Field finished an impressive 21st with a PB time of 58:10 followed by myself (Neil Pratt) finishing 45th on my 45th birthday with a fantastic time of 1:04:011. Dan Wilkinson was next up nursing a sore knee with a time of 1:04:56. Peter Robinson won his age category with a great time of 1:11:19. The rest of the Harriers crew finished as follows: Matthew Robinson (1:14:06) Nicola Mcphun (1:16:52) Craig Waites (1:17:53) Sam Graystone (1:19:33) Lu Beautyman (1:19:50) Evelyn Bowes (1:19:56) Jacqui Hanson (1:29:31) Christopher Ashmead (1:32:00). Thanks must go to Tracey Calvert, Mary Parker Boaler and Louise Parish for supporting and manning the water stations.

Last match of the season for the Holliswomen: Driffield II (38) Holliswomen (0) SUNDAY, April 24 saw the Holliswomen host Driffield II in an adjourned fixture from earlier in the season. It was good to host the Woldswomen after a few years, with COVID and Driffield playing in a different league. It’s a significant achievement for Driffield to be able to field a second team. Both teams played strong, good and competitive rugby on very hard ground. We didn’t get the result that we wanted but we played absolutely awesome team rugby, the best game of our season, according to our coaching team. Each and every player played their hearts out and the Hornsea spirit well and truly shone through for the final time this season. • Forward of the Match: Demi Perkins • Back of the Match: Vic QuinnBaines • Opposition of the Match: Sammy Pugh
