The event saw 20 students each presented with a glass trophy and a gift voucher at the ceremony at the Gallows Lane campus in Beverley.

Award winners ranged from younger students in full-time further education to adults who were studying as part of their job. Each had worked hard to reach high standards and in some cases overcome personal difficulties to be successful in their course.

Principal Derek Branton said: “Our annual awards evening is an opportunity to highlight just some of the great work our students do throughout the year.

“They demonstrate that we have all kinds of students from a wide variety of backgrounds who become an inspiration to their classmates by working hard and in some cases overcoming challenges to make a success of their studies.

“I would like to offer my congratulations to all our award winners and wish them good luck whether they are going on to further study or into employment.”

David Thacker, Chairman of the College’s Governors, said: “My fellow governors and I are delighted that our annual awards have yet again highlighted some wonderful stories of high achieving and hard working students.

“They all strive to reach such high standards in working towards their goal of getting the job of their dreams or earning the points they need to get into their first choice university.

“On behalf of the governors, I would like to congratulate them on their excellent achievements and give them our best wishes for the future.”
The evening’s proceedings began with the College’s Annual General Meeting, in which Mr Branton looked back on a successful 2008-2009 academic year.

This included further improvements in success rates, an increase in the number of 16 to 18-year-old students on full-time courses, a range of curriculum developments, improvements to facilities, including the new campus in Bridlington which opened in September 2009, and a review of the College’s training work with employers.

The awards ceremony was then led by assistant directors Alison Gray and Richard Sellick, who introduced award winners from their respective faculties, with the awards presented by Mr Thacker. Each of the awards was sponsored by a local firm.

Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines again this Saturday when they visit Rossendale in the National League 3 (North) fixture. This will be the third of four consecutive away fixtures for the Beavers and they will be hoping to end their depressing run of defeats which have seen them slip down the league table to seventh place.

Their task has not been made easy this week by injury and unavailability problems blighting their training and making the selection of teams for the weekends matches nigh on impossible with the two match suspension handed out to Goran Jelencic following his dismissal at Cleckheaton only serving to compound the problem.

Better news for the Beavers is that both Chris Infield and Phil Dale are due to return to the country from their travels and, providing they have remained in reasonable shape whilst away, both will go a long way to boosting the club’s options and easing their problem of juggling such a small squad when injuries occur.

Whilst it is not possible to finally select any teams prior to Thursday night’s training session, the Beavers hope to select from the following :-

Beverley 1st XV v Rossendale (away). Meet 10.45 a.m

From:- R.Bussey, C.Harding, J.Gardiner, J.Tupai, J.Gill, P.Duboulay, M.Kilgannon, M.Hatfield, A.Forth, D.Morris, M.Adams, G.Gibson, D.Worrall (capt), D.Hodgson, J.McKay, B.Sherwood, C.Hancock, A.Riby-French, M.Shaw

Beverley 2nd XV are at home to Marist in an East Yorkshire League match and will be without powerful No 8 Rob Vaux who has joined the club’s fracture clinic with a fractured hand, the sixth such casualty in this extraordinary run of bad luck. The seconds squad will be selected after training

Beverley Festival once again comes up trumps as it starts to announce it headline acts that will appear in the town.

This year’s event has a truly Scottish theme with the dynamic fiddle playing of Blazin’ Fiddles, and hit makers The Proclaimers, who will finish off the festival on the Sunday night in its traditional fiery style. To launch the festival on the Friday night will be the lead singer of the former Scottish acoustic pop group Fairground Attraction, Eddi Reader.

The festival is well known for bringing top artists to the small, historic, East Yorkshire market town of Beverley. The Proclaimers will be no exception. Strikingly individual, the twin brothers Craig and Charlie Reid have over the years enjoyed huge success across the globe as the emotional honesty, political fire, wit and sing-along raucousness of their songs and their extensive touring has enlightened and entertained fans new and old.

They have carved out a niche for themselves in the netherworld where pop, folk, new wave and punk collide. In the process they have enjoyed Gold and Platinum singles and albums in UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The festival now welcomes them to Yorkshire!

With the General Elections due to precede the festival, who better to return again to lighten our spirits, as one of the event’s most popular acts , Roy Bailey and Tony Benn. Other festival favourites, returning for the third time will be the legendary band, famous for its hit record with The Floral Dance, The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band.

Festival organisers and audiences alike will be delighted by the performance this year of the Demon Barber Roadshow, bringing English traditional song and dance to a broad audience of all ages. Martin Simpson will be back with his trio, having won the BBC Radio 2 Award for Best Traditional Song.

And making sure we don’t go to bed with a heavy heart will be hospital radio spoof DJ Ivan Brackenbury, guaranteed to bring a smile to us all.

From the USA comes the king of Old Time Fiddle playing Bruce Molsky, Blues and Gospel maestro Spencer Bohren,  and fellow countryman New York City’s angriest yodelling banjo player Curtis Eller!

They will all be participating in this year’s special Americana mini-fest over the weekend. From closer to home come some of this countries finest young female artists, The Anna Massie Band from Scotland and Belinda O’Hooley & Heidi Tidow from neighbouring West Yorkshire.  In addition, many other great artists will be joining them and heading to the historic market town of Beverley this June to make the festival a must for all music lovers.

With the “Festival Village” becoming increasingly popular as a green field location adjacent to the campsite and main concert venue, and with demands to expand the number of events within it, this year sees the arrival of a new Alternative Marquee which will include a top programme of comedy and the spoken word as well as hosting acoustic sessions.

In addition to the new marquee the Family and Youth events will see a greater expansion and the festival favourite Wold Top Marquee will be back again to host the Late Night Festival Club and concerts and featuring our popular local Wold Top Festival Ale.

A great line up, with many more artists still to be announced in its regularly innovative and eclectic programming. A festival that offers one of the most friendly and relaxed atmospheres of all the Summer festivals – not to be missed..

Artists confirmed to date include:

The Proclaimers, Eddi Reader, Roy Bailey & Tony Benn, The Demon Barber Roadshow, The Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band, Martin Simpson Trio, Charlie Dore & The Hula Valley Orchestra, Blazin’ Fiddles, Koshka, Doğan Mehmet, Ivan Brackenbury,  Jerry Harmon (USA), Jeni & Billy (USA), Sean Taylor, Karen Tweed, Ellen & The Escapades
and lots more …………..

A packed programme of music and dance, as well as Comedy, Literature, Poetry, Youth and Kids events, all promise to make the festival a must for festival goers next June

Beverley Leisure Complex is one of more than 500 pools across the UK taking part in Swimathon, from the 16–18 April 2010. For those who prefer to cheer on from the sidelines, they can still do their bit by sponsoring local people who are taking part in Swimathon by going to ‘sponsor a swimmer’ online or by volunteering to count laps (email info@swimathon.org) at Beverley Leisure Complex.

Coby Kemp, assistant manager, said: “We are so pleased to be running this huge fundraising event and hope that people of all ages and abilities help us to raise a lot of money for such a great cause.  Swimathon is a great event to get involved in as it gives you a challenge to work toward, as well as raising money for charity.”

Zoe Salmon, TV presenter and the face of Swimathon 2010, comments:

“Swimathon is a wonderful event for anyone who loves swimming or fancies giving it a go.  It’s an excellent way to get fit and healthy, and have fun with your friends and family. Swimathon is now in its 24th year and this year we are hoping to raise over £1.5m for Marie Curie Cancer Care and The Swimathon Foundation. I absolutely love swimming and can’t wait to take part.”

Duncan Goodhew MBE, Olympic gold medallist and Swimathon President, added: “Swimathon is a great way of raising money to help thousands of people across the UK. Swimming is up with the highest calorie burning activities, such as running. Swimming works and tones your entire body. It also promotes more supple, flexible muscles, tendons and ligaments – which has long term health gains. So not only will Swimathon help other people but it will also help keep you fit too.”

Swimathon 2010 is open to everyone, encouraging people to challenge themselves to swim 5k, 2.5k or 1.5k. For those interested in joining forces with friends, colleagues or family, the 5k challenge can also be completed as part of a team with up to five people.  Why not get in the pool and help make Swimathon 2010 a huge success?

Organised by Molescroft mum Sylvia Hood, the event aims to raise funds in memory of her son David who sadly died of bone cancer at the age of 18 in June 2007.

David loved sport and music and his mum has arranged a programme of fitness and acoustic music sessions on Saturday to raise money for the charity that supported him during his illness.

Starting at 7pm there will be exercise to music and body combat fitness classes.  The sessions will be led by leisure centre fitness instructors and are suitable for all ages and abilities.

For those wanting a less energetic evening there will be massage and reflexology provided by Cherry Lethem.

Peter Caswell and friends will provide live music in the bar from 8.30pm.

Generous local businesses have provided a lot of support for the event by supplying prizes for a raffle.  Tickets will be available on Saturday.

Money raised from the evening will be shared between the proposed Teenage Cancer Trust unit at Castle Hill Hospital and the charity’s unit at St James’s Hospital in Leeds where David was treated.

Sylvia is hoping that local people will join her family, friends and neighbours at the Beverley Leisure Centre on Saturday to raise as much money as possible for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Sylvia is also organising a running event at the Leisure Centre on Wednesday 17 March which would have been David’s 21st birthday.  In the run up to Sport Relief those wanting to help raise funds for TCT can just turn up next Wednesday to donate money and run a mile round the field.  Raffle tickets will also be available.  The event starts at 6 pm.

For more information on the Teenage Cancer Trust visit the web site.

Looking back it seems strange; however what HU17.net has achieved in a relatively short space of time is remarkable and only a fool will have you think otherwise. So many people have gained so much through simple idea and plenty of hard work.

Minority groups in Beverley, notably the Beverley Town Handbell Ringers have been rediscovered. The group, despite winning awards were lacking the opportunity to play in their hometown. The web site has helped the group get noticed and as a result they have started to play more in Beverley.

On October 22nd 2009 Beverley was chosen to launch the Poppy Appeal for the East Riding of Yorkshire at the Beverley Art Gallery. People had travelled from right across the region. Members of the public and press were invited to witness, photograph and report back. At this point it would be nice to tell you there offer was accepted more people then they could handle. But I can’t.

Earlier that same month an elderly lady named Mrs Fewster was rightfully refunded after receiving £40 parking fine. Mrs Fewster had forgotten to display her Blue Badge in her window and parked in a disabled bay. A simple web site was able to help Mrs Fewster get her story across and she received a full refund from a very amicable company called Tesco.

In January the Beverley Male Voice Choir arranged a presentation of a cheque to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance service. The hand over £600 raised through their efforts was also to be used to help raise awareness for the charities that fund a vital service for every single person who lives in the region. Circumstances and series of events no one could control left them with just one photographer, the job was done and an image given to them to use as they saw fit.

When Opera Singer Amy Black last appeared in the Beverley she made a recording for the web site, Amy who sadly is no longer with us sang Amazing Grace at Toll Gavel Methodist Church this is possibly one of the last recordings the singer ever made. The event was also photographed and all the images were approved by Amy herself with some been used on her own web site.

The Beverley Lions Bonfire drew a staggering 6,000 people to the Beverley Westwood, the organisation behind the fund raiser is immense. From the construction through to the clean up hundreds of people, many volunteers worked flat out so thousands of people can enjoy one of Beverley’s best annual spectacles. With help from the British Army and East Riding of Yorkshire Council the Beverley Lions assembled, set fire to and then cleaned up!

Companies in the town can now all have some sort of internet presence, more importantly their business appears in the most relevant place on the most relevant web site for Beverley. The businesses have a map, address, phone number and if they do have one, a link to their own company web site. Given the current global economic situation that’s a pretty good deal for any business.

Sport coverage has of course been given a new lease of life in the town, members of various clubs now get to enjoy extensive coverage often consisting 17 pictures or more. The Humber Colts have grown as a team with their entire story being followed almost exclusively by the web site highlighting just how difficult setting up a team in the community can be.

Less then 12 months ago Beverley never had a dedicated web site, it has one now treat it with respect the same way it respects you.

• New Acclaimed Novelists to Attend East Riding Readers’ Day

Beverley Squash and Racketball Club is holding a racketball try out session for ladies only on Saturday 20th March between 2pm and 5pm. Racketball is played indoors on a squash court, but the game is easier to play than squash because the ball bounces higher – even more than a tennis ball. The rackets have a bigger head like a tennis racket, but they’re lighter and easier to swing.

The tennis courts are not used in winter, so the tennis ladies section of the club use racketball to keep fit (and warm!). If you want to find out more about the sport, visit the England Squash & Racketball website and watch the video, it explains the game and the fitness benefits.

There are two heated and well maintained courts at the club set in the Norwood Recreation Ground on Norwood. Both courts will be used on 20th March to give ladies a chance to try the game and see the club facilities. Lady members of the club will be on hand to assist all visitors in using the equipment provided and to explain the game.

It’s a fun way to exercise with friends and  the courts are available all day for members to use. Annual adult membership costs start at less than £1/week and if you join in March the cost will be only £22.00 up to renewal at the end of September.

Ladies, pop in anytime between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday 20th March – half an hour will get you into “the fastest growing sport in the UK today”.

East Riding Readers’ Day will this year take place on Saturday, 22 May (10am – 4pm) at Longcroft School and Performing Arts College, Beverley (upper school site).

Now in its tenth year, the East Riding Readers’ Day has become one of the most popular events in the Yorkshire literary calendar. Based on a mix of readers’ group sessions with authors, panel discussions and great conversation about literary classics, it never fails to leave participants renewed in their love for literature.

As it gets harder for top-quality, but lesser known writers to develop their readerships, the readers’ day programme offers the opportunity for new and early career writers to present their work to readers alongside more established writers.

Sarah Hall, who has been short-listed for the Man Booker Prize and has won the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize for Best First Novel, will be joined by debut novelist Sarah Rayner, and by crime writer Jim Creed and the acclaimed Joe Treasure. The mix of writing styles and subjects is designed to provide something for everyone.

John W. Clarke, literature officer for East Riding Libraries and organiser of the day, said:

“Given the diminishing, general availability of books by good authors without a track-record or media profile, we believe that it’s our duty to celebrate the diversity of writing that goes on off the radar of all but the biggest book stores.  This year we’re delighted that Sarah Hall will be joined by three substantial novelists relatively early on in their journey as novelists.”

On signing up, participants receive a book by their chosen author well in advance of the day giving them plenty of time to enjoy the book and think through what they’d like to discuss.  There’s always delicious food for lunch from Roberts and Speight and plenty of food for the mind in the form of book recommendations – in fact it’s the kind of day that could turn your reading life upside down!

For a booking form ring 01482 392699 or download it at Bevlit

Tickets for Readers’ Day are priced at £12 to include lunch, refreshments and a book.

The Youth Café this Friday 12th, is expected to be a sell out with over 250 young people coming to the Minster. The Pop Stars themed event is showcasing two local bands, Star Shaped city, and Alex Bampton. Numbers attending the Youth Café has risen slightly in recent months, and the last attendance peaked at over 280. All money raised through ticket sales and tuck shop, has recently gone towards a new £3000 5kw sound system, which at some stage belonged to the Prodigy.

The Youth Café team are looking at recruiting some new young people to its managing group, in order to plan future events and introduce new ideas. If you are ages between 11-18 and wish to be a member, please contact Lee Kirkby 01482 868540 or contact him through the Youth Café website.

The Youth Café’s sister event, the Night Café is a much more intimate, coffee house atmosphere and provides the venue for conversation, acoustic acts and provides a place for young people just to ‘be’. Night Café is currently irregular, but will be a regular event post Easter, every Friday night 7.00pm till 9.30pm in the Emmaus Room at Beverley Minster.

The Youth Team are also looking at recruiting Gap Year workers from September, and an information pack is available from the Youth Ministry website. In order to manage the development, and growth of the youth work at Beverley Minster, additional human and financial resources are necessary. As Beverley Minster provides the largest single youth event in the area, we are taking seriously the needs and expectations of young people in the town, and we are prepared to meet them.

104 men and women from eight local running clubs ran the testing 6-mile course.  The route took them across the cliff top, down and up the steep sides of Danes Dyke, round muddy fields and through a wood and then all the way back again.

Beverley’s James Pearson rounded off an excellent first season in the league by finishing in fourth position and as usual was first Beverley runner to cross the line.  He was followed in ninth position by Aubrey Morell who has been a reliable and consistent member of the men’s team this season.  Paul Clark had an excellent run and was the third Beverley man to finish.  He completed all 6 races in the league and gradually crept up the finishing order from 51st in the second race to 21st in the final race.

Although the men’s team finished in third position at Sewerby it was not enough to move up the league and their final position was fourth.

Helen Storr, Sam Allen and Jayne Dale led the Beverley ladies home followed closely by Helen Briggs.  It was a welcome return to racing for Briggs after ill health forced her to take a break from running last year.

The Beverley ladies’ team also finished fourth in the league but what they lacked in speed they made up for in numbers averaging 10 female runners per race whilst their nearest rival could only manage 6.  If there had been a prize for the most representative team they would certainly have won it.

An award ceremony was held after the race in the Ship Inn at Sewerby.  Local rivals City of Hull won both the men’s and ladies’ team prizes.  Phill Taylor of Bridlington was first in the men’s individual competition and Scarborough’s Hestor Butterworth won the ladies’ trophy.

Beverley athletes took home four prizes:  James Pearson was fourth in the men’s individual competition and Kay Farrow, Pam Atkins and Pete Watkinson all won first prize in their respective age category.

Waterside have a seemingly easier fixture next week against against Not Very Athletic, although the NVA b0ys have put in a couple of battling performance of late. ONE10 v a battle against camp foes Real Soldierdad, with the third place spot up for grabs as a result.

Weighton moved two points clear at the top of the table after a comfortable 3-0 victory over angel. the returning Shaun Bennett popped up with two goals to take him second in the top scorers chart. Weighton next face AJ’s, which is never an easy game, while Angel have an encounter with the Trogs to look forward too.

Real Soldierdad solidified their spot in third place with a hard fought victory over Deportivo. Momnet of the match came with the last kick of the game, when self proclaimed football genius Mark Atkinson had the ball at his feet right on the edge of the opposition area and looked certain to slot past the stranded keeper. What happened next will surely be on every ‘Footballs Worst Nightmares’ dvd out this Christmas… with seemingly little to do but roll the ball in, Mark proceeded to not only miss, but smash the ball clean over the 30ft fence behind the goal and into the car park. To the best of my knowledge, the ball boy is still looking for it!

Form boys BarceHullona continued their impressive streak with a 2-0 win over AJ’s. to give AJ’s their credit they held out with only 5 men until the last few minutes, when Andy Martin twice took advantage as the extra man and slotted in two goals for the win. Barce are now in 5 place with the opportunity to move up to 3rd depending on what occurs in the Soldiredad v ONE10 fixture next week.

Borussia Teeth are still looking for their first win after a convincing thumping at the hand of Reservoir Trogs. Trogs main man Kev Neale hit four for the second time in three weeks, as the Trogs finally got their touch back after a terrible couple of months.

The final game saw the big one between NVA v Black Sox. The game was fairly tight, and black Sox had plenty of pressure without really creating too much, but in the end it was the finishing quality of the NVA boys that shone through. The big game for the Sox now is the final match of the season against Borrusia Teeth. With only 2 points seperating them, the game is huge for both sides.

Local businessman Phil of the Beverley Camera Centre and chairman of the Darts league said;

“Trebles has really taken off with the coverage of the darts premier league on Sky Sports, we play two formats of the game in our league. Trebles are what is mostly shown on the TV though Doubles is far more skilful game and one all the local players enjoy.”

“I would like to congratulate The Dacre Arms, they most certainly worthy winners this evening and I am sure many of their players will be putting in appearance for the grand knock out competition later this month.”

The Blackburn Beverley spent 21 years on display in Beverley, East Yorkshire at the Army Transport Museum though on the 24th May 2004 moved to its new base Fort Paull Military Museum.

With the closure of the museum in Beverley Fort Paull raised what is thought to be around 25K pounds to buy the Blackburn Beverley as the aircraft along with other items housed in the Army Transport Museum were moved to make way for the redevelopment of Flemingate.

Close to 6 years since the Blackburn Beverley was relocated, the site at Flemingate, Beverley still remains undeveloped with many of the other items that were once displayed at the Beverley Army Transport Museum locked away in storage.

While the plane has found a new home where it will be preserved for years to come, the closure of the of the Army Transport Museum, like other projects in the town will surely be questioned by generations to come given the links between Beverley and the military base in Lecconfield.

Phil arrived at the party at 8pm expecting to meet a small group of friends for pre-dinner drinks but was instead greeted by the cheers and birthday wishes of around 80 friends and family.

Music with a strong eighties theme was played throughout the evening with the last guests partying into the small hours.

Phil’s dad Brian made a very touching speech and Phil in turn thanked everyone for making his birthday memorable.

Many thanks to Jeremy and the staff at the Royal Oak for being so accommodating and also to Paul Smith for very kindly taking the wonderful photographs of the evening.

This was another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC who were well beaten for the second week running by a side battling to avoid relegation.  After a fine run in mid season they look for the moment to have rather lost their way; in fact an unknowing spectator today would scarcely have guessed that of the two sides it was Rochdale who were the relegation threatened side.

They went into this game with a good deal more determination and expectancy than Beverley RUFC and played some cracking rugby.  Beverley RUFC tackled well in defence and tried heroically to play a running game but for them that is about as far it went.

The game could not have got off to a worse start for Beverley RUFC.  Within two minutes they were a converted try down when dithering in midfield and a wild pass let Rochdale in for a try from wing forward Gareth Adams which Steven Collins converted.  For a quarter of an hour Beverley RUFC enjoyed the better of the territorial advantage.  They had plenty of possession but all afternoon it was slow ball from the forwards and the backs could make little impression.  Jade Gardiner did once burst away and Beverley RUFC would have scored had he not opted to hang on five metres out when a pass to his winger would have brought a simple touchdown.  For Beverley RUFC it was that sort of day.  Increasingly nothing went right and they seldom again looked like scoring. The nearest they got to it was a lovely break by Ally Forth who nearly made it to the line when he broke away from a maul on the home 22.

Jamie Gill eventually reduced the deficit with a penalty but Beverley RUFC’s hopes once again quickly evaporated.  Sadly for them indiscipline was never far away.  They were constantly penalised for infringing at the ruck and when backchat to the referee advanced play ten metres Collins crosskicked to the Beverley RUFC corner where there was no sign of any defenders leaving winger Jim Flitcroft to gather and stroll over for a simple try.  Another infringement at a ruck in front of the posts gave Collins an easy kick at goal and at 15-3 the game was beginning to slip away from Beverley RUFC.  It was more or less all done and dusted on the stroke of halftime when a tackle on the Rochdale winger was badly missed and scrum half Robert Neave went over for another converted try.

Turning round 22-3 down the last thing Beverley RUFC needed was to start the second half as they had the first.  But within five metres they had conceded two identical tries which effectively wrapped it all up.  Both were the result of poor kicks out of defence which missed touch and resulted in Rochdale simply sweeping back downfield to send first winger Sean Campbell and then lock Thomas Helliwell in at the corner.  Collins who had controlled the game superbly for Rochdale converted both tries from the touchline.

After that it was purely a damage limitation exercise for Beverley RUFC although to their credit they tried to attack at every opportunity.  David Worrall was an inspiration at wing forward and made several superb breaks only to find nobody in support.  Gavin Gibson, Francis Pickering, and Dale Hodgson were all prominent from time to time but the backs lacked any punch and in the end simply ran out of ideas.  They badly missed the absent Duboulay at fly half and were inexperienced down both flanks.  Richard Bussey is an exciting runner but he again looked a good deal less effective in the centre than when he is counter-attacking from full back.

Nonetheless Beverley RUFC somehow managed to hold out for the remainder of the half and at the death got some consolation with a try by Gardiner which Gill converted to bring a fairly respectable look to the final score.  It was never less than an entertaining game but ultimately a disappointing day for Beverley RUFC.
