Hello, it's Peter here, thank you for joining us and welcome to todays Levy Letter. I hope youll be able to join us tonight for Look North at half past six, we'll have all the day's news and of course the forecast from Paul as usual.
On the show tonight we have two special reports on the RAF in Lincolnshire. We have an exclusive on the future of RAF Coningsbys Jaguar squad. And the latest on the campaign to keep the Red Arrows flying in Lincolnshire. Its an issue that means a lot to people in our part of the world with a lot of support for keeping the iconic team in our region. Well look at recent developments. We have a special report on one mum forced to turn to charity to help her disabled son get the facilities he needs. We'll have the latest twists and turns in the saga of Paul Cooke's transfer to Hull KR from Hull FC. Find out how climate change is affecting the Spalding flower festival. And find out why a group of hand bell ringers need my help. Thats all coming up on the show tonight on BBC One at six thirty. Emails Thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects. We had loads from rugby fans on the story of Paul Cooke, but loads of other issues as well. Thank you for all of them, and every single one gets read. If youre part of an amateur group or society and youd like a plug, or if youre involved with a charity event then give me the details and well try to put it in the letter. Ive got one here from Utterby at the primary school. This one says Were a small rural primary school with 45 children. Were having an open day on Wednesday 6th of June between 9:00 and 11:30, and then 1:30 and 3:00. Thats from Sue, whos the chair of the PTA at the Utterby primary school. We wish them well for their open day which is coming up. Thats on the 6th of June. And we had a note from John Gregory, I wonder if theres any chance of a mention about a documentary film being made about Mablethorpe called 07 Visions. The Mablethorpe Marathon and festival committee have joined forces with the Loewen Cinema for the project and are asking for local people to make their own films to be incorporated into the documentary. The documentary will be shown at a grand champagne gala at the cinema in October. We wish the best of luck to them. RSPCA The RSPCA is saying theres been a soar in the number of abandoned cats. Theyre often bought as a fashion accessory and then of course abandoned, which seems so sad, but the numbers of abandoned cats is just huge at the moment. It reminds me that a few weeks ago I was walking through Leeds and I saw this woman wandering along with a small handbag with a dog actually inside the handbag and the head popping out. Ive seen this in magazines and things in London. I thought it was a joke, but there it was for real in the centre of Leeds. Breafast Eating fat food like a burger for breakfast can often cause stress later in the day. Apparently the food to eat to have a cool and calm day is a bowl of porridge. I dont know if that means even in the summer, but there we are, avoid fast food like a burger at breakfast time. It can give you stress later in the day. Canoes I was very deflated I think thats the word - when I tried to go to a website I found the other day to buy a two man inflatable canoe, desperate for one of these, desperate to buy one. If anybody knows where to buy one then get in touch with me and let me know, I would be very grateful. Pride I see that more than ever before were proud of the area where we live. I think thats very true. The internet makes the world seem so much more accessible, but now were much more proud of our own particular area. I think thats quite right, and from people who write in, theyre very proud of our area and I think were all proud of where we actually live. Certainly I am of Victoria Dock, and I love to read anything, especially nationally, which is about our area providing its good. I think as we can now fly to other parts of the world on budget airlines and we can click on the internet and send a message to the other side of the world, its made us much more proud of our own area than ever before. If youve got any thoughts on that or indeed anything else then send it to the usual address, its the same one of course for pictures and if youve got a problem or anything you think we should know about on the programme, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Armbands Thanks to everybody whos commented on the RSPCA shop in Bridlington. Val Emerson and Bunty Ellis sent us a couple of arm bands for Paul to wear. Paul said he didnt want them and called them tat. That seems to have upset everybody, but I can assure you it was all said in jest. Well done to Val, and everyone who works in the RSPCA shops across our region. Well thats it from me, dont forget our new revamped website, its looking good at www.bbc.co.uk/looknorthhull. If youre home late one night and you want to watch the Look North programme and youve missed it at 6.30 then click on watch again and you can watch it any time you like. Well thats it from me, enjoy your afternoon and join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. Bye for now.
