Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Levy Letter, hope your day is going well. Coming up on the programme this evening we'll be talking to the health trust that banned operations for overweight people. They've now been forced into a U-turn, but how many people have lost out in the mean time?
We have the big plastic bag debate. Would you support a tax on carriers if it was helping the environment? And we look at the final preparations for the Lincolnshire show ahead of it's opening tomorrow. Weve got a big special broadcast live from the show tomorrow, so look forward to that. Well also have the detailed weather forecast as usual tonight, thats all coming up on BBC One at six thirty as usual. Humber Half Marathon If youre around this Sunday morning then its the Humber Half marathon and fun run starting at 9.30 at the Humber Bridge. Paul and I will be there to start the race off if you can join us. All the money raised of course is for charity, hope to see you there on Sunday and another added attraction is Andy Comfort will be there doing his Radio Humberside show as well. Its going to be a great day and a great event. Starlight Well I was one of the several hundred people on Friday and Saturday that didnt get to see Starlight Express because the theatre was flooded. Well from last night all is sorted and the show is up and running again, if youre going then enjoy. By the way Grimsby, Hull and Lincoln have all had some great shows on just recently with more on the way. Passports If you have a holiday coming up abroad make sure that you have your passport of course and Ive just read that the cost of a passport is going up to £72 Im sure if my memory serves me right the first time I got a passport it was £7.50. I may be wrong. I can remember exactly what it was for, I went on a press trip on the first ever jet to fly out of Yorkshire, It was 1976 and it was Leeds Bradford Airport and it was a new type of Boeing 737 operated by Britannia Airways. It was the first time as well that I had ever flown and it was to Palma in Majorca happy memories! Pictures Dont forget if you have a photograph that youre pleased with that you think might be a possible for the show then send it to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or send me a copy in the post to Queens Court, Queens gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. Conductor Theres just time for a quick mention here of the Barrow Concert brass band. I had an email from them asking for help. We are a brass band in desperate need of a new conductor. We are a third section band and practice Tuesday and Friday evenings, 19.30 till 21.30. With concerts coming up over the summer it is vital that we get someone to conduct us quickly. We would also welcome any brass players who are looking for a band to play with. We are a friendly band who have a lot of fun, but also do some serious playing including some contesting. So there we are, they are a third section band, not sure what that is, but they need a new conductor. If you can help them, these are the contact details, 07745388258 or email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well thats it from me today, join me at 6.30 for tonights Look North.
