Both teams observed a minutes silence in honour of remembrance Sunday. Tickton made the better start in this local derby, they closed Beverley down well and were first to every ball but neither team really created many chances as both midfields cancelled out each other. Beverley allowed lively Jake Catermole room in the middle of the park and his long range shot hit the net for one nil AFC Tickton. Beverley worked well from the flanks and Dan Baillie was set free but pushed his shot wide of the target. Beverley enjoyed a good period of possession but could not score. In the second half Beverley kept the ball well but on occasions were caught on the counter attack with James Beevers and Will Harrison putting in some match saving tackles for Beverley. In the closing part of the game Jack Pickering and Liam Lawson combined well in midfield and from Lawson’s corner Dennis Bailey headed the ball home from close range. Both teams went in search of a winner to gain the local bragging rights but in the end a battling draw and a great game was just reward for both teams. BEVERLEY WHITESTAR AFC TICKTON Use Facebook to…
This weekend sees Ferens Art Gallery open its much anticipated Leonardo da Vinci exhibition from the Royal Collection entitled Ten Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. A Diamond Jubilee Celebration. The exhibition will run from Saturday 10 November 2012 until Sunday 20 January 2013. It provides a unique opportunity to see a broad range of Leonardo’s highly skilled drawings and in doing so to explore the mind of one of the greatest artists of all time. Claire Longrigg, Hull City Council’s Assistant Curator of Exhibitions said: “We’re very excited to be hosting such a prestigious exhibition. Leonardo’s drawings are fascinating, and contain a lot of detail. This will be an extremely popular exhibition.” The drawings, which reflect a broad range of Leonardo’s interests, have been selected from the holdings within the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. They are coming to Hull as part of celebrations to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. Though he trained as a painter, Leonardo soon expanded his activities into the fields of sculpture and architecture, engineering, botany, geology, map making, hydraulics, optics and anatomy, all of which are represented in the ten drawings coming to Hull. His principal tool of investigation was drawing,…
Comment on School of Transport Honoured by Freedom of Entry Award by Marion Furlong
I was a young WRAF airwoman stationed at the former RAF Leconfield in the late 1960s. I remember going on pub crawls, the cider was really strong, one was called Nelly's own. My friend Kathy and I, used to hitchhike to the seaside, and I went on the back of her motorcycle to visit her parents. I met my ex husband at Lecondfield. I'm now a widow living Florida. I just found out the camp closed in 1977 and is now school of transport. So many changes, I probably wouldn't remember the place. At least three RAF camps my husband was stationed at in Scotland have closed down. It makes me a little sad. My dad was in the RAF too, I expect most of the places he went to are now closed.
