Hi there and welcome to Wednesdays Letter. Tonight on the programme, we'll speak with the Hull residents, who are calling on the local authority to look again at plans to build an academy school on a flood plain. They say they fear a repeat of last summer's flood damage. Well get the full story on this tonight.
They're here to stay - the Red Arrows are to stay in the county, but will move from Scampton to RAF Waddington. We'll find out what this means for the two bases and for the world famous aerobatic team. We'll take a look at the project to help children with behaviour problems which teaches them how to look after horses. And find out why Lincolnshire's weasels are set to become stars on national television. We'll catch up with the Lincolnshire man whose garden has caught the attention of the BBC's Springwatch campaign. Were to be invited into the home of the Hull City fan today who's turned his house into a shrine to the Tigers. And we'll look at the business which has been swept off its feet with Wembley fever. Dont forget weve got our special hour long programme on Friday. Look North will be packing their bags and heading down to Wembley. Well be there for the big match too, so if youre going down to Wembley, then look out for us and say hi! Ill be there at Wembley all day on Friday and Im sure itll be quite a thrill to see inside the new stadium. Its certainly supposed to be very impressive. And of course, were preparing our special programme on Friday all this week. Were going to be looking at the history of the club and looking at the special fans that have followed their team all the way. So dont forget to get in touch with me on this one. You may have a unique memory of watching the club when you were young. Weve got some amazing photos of the team back in 1904! If you! ve got any special photographs or memorabilia from the club, then think of us and get in touch. Wed love to hear your stories or see your photos. Email our main inbox with any memories youve got of the club to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to seeing your emails! Bike The Baltic Heres something I am in awe of! Lyn Strydom has got in touch with me to let me know about a 621km bike ride challenge for Marie Curie. I cant even imagine how far that is! This is what she says, The cycle challenge I am taking on is a massive challenge for me. I am not a professional cyclist, just a normal person who lives and works in Lincolnshire. I will be flying the flag for the county in August when I cycle across Poland and Lithuania, taking on over 600kms, in a bid to raise much needed money for Marie Curie. So there you go. All the best to Lyn with that. Sleep Oh dear, heres a subject close to my heart. I read today that scientists have shown that relying on our sleep-deprived brains to perform well is potentially fraught with danger. They found that even after sleep deprivation, people have periods of near normal brain function in which they can finish tasks quickly. However, this is mixed with periods of slow response and severe drops in visual processing and attention. The research shows that sleep deprived people could perform simple tasks and even complex tasks very well, but complicated, repetitive and perhaps boring tasks, like driving, could cause problems. So there you go. Im sure this is a concern not just for people like myself, who have sleeping problems, but also for night shift workers too Id imagine! Wheres My Golf Ball? I can imagine this technology taking off amongst the gadget-hungry golfers! Intelligent golf balls are being designed that will tell the golfer exactly how far the balls have been driven from the tee and how high theyve been hit by the nine-iron. Soon golf balls will be designed with tracking technology on a little chip inside the ball. Its using the same GPS satellite technology that mobile phones use. Therell be implications for runners and cyclists too as these clever chips can be implanted in trainers or bikes to show how far someone has run or how high an altitude a cyclist has reached. I bet these golfers will be more concerned for their intelligent golf ball if they lose it in the rough or in the water! I think therell be a lot more golfers wading into the water to fish their special golf balls out! Well, that's it from me for now. Enjoy your day and keep in touch with me if you want to share any special stories about Hull City.
