Hi there, its Peter here. It's decision day for communities across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, who have been fighting to save their Post Offices from closure. Judging by the messages this morning on our answer phone, there are many people interested to hear the results of which post offices will close and what will replace them if anything. We'll have all the details of which are closing and have reaction from campaigners on Look North tonight.
Also tonight, as the inquest into the death of the Hull flood victim, Michael Barnett, heads to its conclusion, we'll take a look at the evidence given today. And can you remember this story? We've previously brought you the story about Diane Goulden, who has cared for her husband ever since a serious road traffic accident. Shes now up for a top award in London as Carer Of The Year. Her story about her family and how theyve coped since the accident is incredibly moving. Our best wishes to her and tune in tonight to find out more about this top award. And we'll be at a Scunthorpe college today that's taken delivery of a real Boeing 747 airplane. Tune in tonight to find out why! Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. And remember, that tonight as usual well be bringing you our latest addition to our news programmes on BBC One. At eight oclock tonight, Hannah Moffatt will bring you a quick roundup of news from our region, so if youve just stepped in from work, then switch on the TV at eight and get up to date with whats happening where you live! Plugs Lots of events are happening all over the place at the moment, celebrating all things Christmassy. Or so I thought. An event with a bit of a twist will be happening in Driffield this weekend. Kate Morgan emailed me and she writes, Hi, I am a member of Driffield Hockey club and we are holding a fund raiser for Breast Cancer research. It is on December 16th at Driffield and it involves two games of hockey where everyone, including the boys, have to wear a bra on show! So a hockey team in bras I sincerely hope theyve all got their thermals on underneath the bras in this weather! Good luck to the Driffield Hockey club on Sunday. And a plug for people in Beverley this weekend. Liz Lauritzen emailed me and gave me a little bit of the history surrounding the congregation of St Nicholas church in Beverley. She writes, Dear Peter, For three years the congregation of St. Nicholas church in Beverley have been out in the cold! The heating system was condemned, which has meant meeting in the community centre. Finally, after all this time, the heat is back on, but not without the considerable cost of £80,000. Local folk have been most supportive, but we still have a way to go. So this coming Saturday 15th December we are holding a Christmas extravaganza at Toll Gavel Church in the centre of Beverley. This is an all day event with lots of stalls and games, not least designer floral arrangements. To make it extra special my Danish husband and I are running a Scandinavian stall with some absolutely gorgeous things angels, candles, lanterns, decorations etc. There will even be a chance to enjoy some real Dani! sh cream cake with a coffee. My husband, who is almost eighty, has hand made some specialities Danish Christmas hearts, which traditionally hang on the tree with sweets in. We are both involved with the annual Christmas market at the Scandinavian church each year and know how popular this is. Please would you be kind enough to give us a mention to help to make our day a huge success. So that email comes from Liz, whos the Church Warden at St Nicholas Church. Best wishes to Liz and Eric and if youre in Beverley on Saturday, then pop into the Toll Gavel Church for their Christmas Extravaganza! Well, after all those plugs and pleas for help, thats it from me for today. Congratulations to the pantomime cast last night from Look North and Radio Humberside. I hear it went well. Although, there was a slight delay on stage when Jonathan Parker couldnt get his dress on fast enough in one of his many quick changes! (I believe hes one of the Ugly Sisters!) So well done to them. Their next performance will be in Hull on Saturday at the Middleton Hall in Cottingham. If youre going, then enjoy and if you fancy going, then there are still tickets left from the Box Office, so give them a ring. Lots of charities are benefiting from their performances and theyre based all over our region. Well done to the cast and crew! Take care and wrap up warm if youre venturing out in this frosty weather!
