On Look North tonight, Tim will be getting the latest on the investigation into the murder of Hull College student, Rebecca Love. Following todays court appearance by a fellow student, well be getting the latest on this. Also on the programme, today the Ministry Of Defence are launching a new low flying exercise. I'll be meeting the Lincolnshire businesswoman, who says they are putting lives at risk with their low flying policies. Well be getting her point of view tonight. Find out how you can help design a new logo for our region's spectacular coastal area, Flamborough Head. Its in aid of boosting tourism and promoting our superb coast line. So find out how you can get involved in that tonight. And well be meeting some incredibly busy people from our region, whose spare time is taken up by their hobbies. Theres the particularly green fingered gardener from Beverley, who's set to create a storm at this year's Chelsea Flower Show. And the North Lincolnshire teenager, who's one of the country's youngest cricket umpires. And if you're mad about models, then we've got just the thing for you tonight. We'll be getting a peak at an incredible collection of model railways with one Gainsborough enthusiast. So thats all tonight on BBC one at half past six with Tim Iredale. And Paul will have todays forecast, so I hope you can join Tim at six thirty. Weekend Well, it was a lovely long weekend and theres some good news that therell be another bank holiday weekend coming up in a couple of weeks. Lets hope the weather is better for that one. Whatever you got up to at the weekend, then I hope it went very well indeed. There were spectacular scenes on Sunday in Scunthorpe as football fans celebrated The Irons fantastic success and promotion into the Championship. The players and manager, Nigel Adkins, travelled through the town on an open top bus and then finished their celebrations at Normanby Hall. So congratulations to Scunthorpe United and all the fans. Im sure it was a day to remember for them. If youre involved in a Spring Fair or any type of event for charity, or a local amateur society and youd like a little plug in the Letter, then all youve got to do is to drop me a line. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a very busy weekend coming up. Starting on Friday for the whole weekend is Pocklingtons Flying Man Festival. Its to celebrate the Flying Showman of Pocklington and there are lots of events running all weekend, including teddy bear abseiling. So pop along to Pocklington this weekend. Also in Hull this Saturday is A Mile For Maude. Its in aid of sudden infant death syndrome and therell be lots of families and children walking one mile through East Park for that cause. So best wishes to all the organisers of those two events, and please let me know if youve got an event coming up thats close to your heart. Fame Hull and Grimsby are doing so well for top entertainment at the theatres at the moment. Ive been looking through some of the shows coming up and we really are doing very well. I had quite a few emails saying how much people had enjoyed Fame last week at the New Theatre. Thats the West End show that has been celebrating ten years on tour. And also the great musical, Starlight Express, is on its way to Hull soon. I know the music, but I have never seen the show before, and Ive been told that its very spectacular, so Im looking forward to that one. Photos If over the weekend youve taken any really great photos that you think other Look North viewers would like to see, then send one to me and Ill try and show it one night. Its one of the popular bits of the programme. I cant believe how many pictures come in daily. We've been doing the feature now for what must be two years! If you have a good one, then send it to me. Id like either a hard copy in the post or send it to me by email. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tetford Just a little well done now to everyone involved in the Tetford Scarecrow festival, which has been on for the last three days. I gather it was a huge hit and there were some very good scarecrows on show. Plus there were a load of stalls and Morris dancers as well yesterday. So well done to the Tetford Scarecrow festival organisers! Humber Half Marathon Its getting closer. The Humber Half Marathon is on its way. Its on Sunday 24th June. Its all for a very good cause and Paul and I will be there to start this years marathon. I wont be running it I assure you! But best of luck if you are. I hope your training is going well. Let me know if you are running it. Get in touch and let me know your tactics! If you can make it along on Sunday 24th June, then Im sure the runners would appreciate your support and encouragement! Pop along to the Humber Bridge. Come and join us at half past nine in the morning. Make a note in your diary! Nurses We talked about MRSA on the programme last week and reported on the breakthrough with a new bandage which is resistant to the infection. Well I had many emails from people who were disgusted at the state of cleanliness in our hospitals and saying that they often saw nurses going home on the bus or in their car still in their uniforms. Since then I've had a lot of response from nurses, who are fighting back. One here from a nurse, whose name I wont print. She says that nurses often have nowhere to change, no lockers and they have no option. She goes on to say that there should be better facilities for nurses. The feelings on this one seem to run high and I am sure its one that we shall return to at a later date. Don't forget if there is something you feel strongly about or have a view on, then just drop me an email to the usual address. Its [EMAIL PROTECTED] as usual. Get in touch. Well, that's it from me. Short and sweet today as I am on a day off, but don't forget to join Tim Iredale tonight at half past six. Ill be back again tomorrow. Have a lovely day.
