Humberside Police - My Community Alert

My Community Alert

Do you want to find out what is happening in your local area?

As you may be aware Humberside Police launched a new alert system that enables residents, businesses and community groups to find out about what is happening in their local area.

The new system, called My Community Alert, allows you to register to receive real time messages about incidents happening in your neighbourhood that may affect you or your family.

Choose how you would like to receive messages - by text, voicemail or email - how often you would like to receive alerts and about the issues that matter to you, from collisions and road closures to missing people.

Find out more by visiting the My Community Alert website where you can watch a short video and sign up to start receiving alerts.  The link is

Christmas Meal 2019

I have provisionally booked The Oaks for the annual Christmas lunch for Sunday, 15 December at 1 pm.   In a couple of months I will be asking people to send me menu choices and £20 per person (cash only). A copy of the menu will be included in the request for names and payment.  I know it seems early to be thinking of Christmas, but The Oaks is very popular and they do need payment to make the booking secure. 

Regards

Vince Competing In Man V Coast

Vince Quigley and his mate Russ Tarbatt are competing tomorrow in Man v Coast https://ratracemanvscoast.co.uk/
This is a frankly ridiculous 23 mile run/swim/climb/scramble along the coast from Penzance to Lands End. They’ve been inspired to do this by a great friend Andy whose battle with cancer makes this challenge seem like a stroll in the park. Please support them if you can - its for a really worthwhile cause. Thanks Alex xx

RED VELVET CAKE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

For the red velvet cake

150g/5½oz unsalted butter, softened

150g/5½oz golden caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 free-range eggs , lightly beaten
4 tbsp Greek-style yoghurt
1-2 drops red food colouring gel
150g/5½oz self-raising flour
50g/1¾oz cocoa powder

1 tbsp semi-skimmed milk

For the icing

100g/3½oz butter

200g/7oz cream cheese
500g/1lb 2oz icing sugar
1 tsp lemon juice


METHOD

1. Pre heat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/gas 3. Grease and line a deep, round 15cm/6in tin.
2. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition (if the mixture looks curdled add a spoonful of the flour.)
3. Mix the yogurt with the food colouring - it should look very, very red since the mixture will fade once cooked. Beat the yogurt into the cake mixture.
4. Fold in the remaining flour and cocoa powder, followed by the milk until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until well risen and golden-brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
5. Remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool for five minutes, then place onto a cooling rack and set aside to cool completely.
6. For the icing, mix the butter and cream cheese together in a bowl. Then beat in the icing sugar a little at a time. Once all the icing sugar has been added, add the lemon juice and beat the icing for five minutes or until paler in colour.
7. Slice the cake into three equal layers and sandwich them together with the icing. Finish with a layer of icing on top.

GIANT CELEBRATION DAY RETURNS TO MARKET WEIGHTON Sunday14th July

GIANT CELEBRATION DAY RETURNS TO MARKET WEIGHTON A flagship free event for the summer in an East Yorkshire town is back for 2019. Giant Community Day will be staged in Market Weighton Town Centre on Sunday 14th July, 12 noon-4pm, with a packed line-up of entertainment and activities, organised by dedicated volunteers.

The High Street will be transformed into a town fair with an emphasis on local talent. The showcase of some of the town’s performing arts includes singer-songwriter Evie Barrand, the award-winning Weighton Young Players, the Weighton Waytes choir, Neil Diamond tribute act Phil Richards, the Steampunk dancers, Ravens Morris, and Rock Choir.

Also performing at the event are Hailbails, Rock Choir, Minster Ukes from York and the new Pocklington Pipe Band. Starbrite Dance Academy will be there, performing on their own stage for 2019.

There will be a BMX stunt team bringing the Ultimate Extreme Battle, where athletes will be showing off their skills in trials riding, parkour and BMX jump-riding to wow the crowds.

Visitors can also see a climbing wall, Zoolab - a reptile collection – and dozens of stalls staffed by local organisations, all lining the High Street.

Other highlights include drama from the town’s firefighters, who will simulate a rescue exercise from a car crash.

Back by popular demand is a 26-metre inflatable boot camp challenge.

Local community station Vixen 101 Radio will host the arena and be broadcasting live from the event on 101.8FM and online. The event has been organised by a newly-assembled group of residents and traders. Spokesman Richard Spare says: “We’ve an exciting day planned with so many and varied activities and we’re thrilled that the Giant Community Day is back on the calendar. I’d particularly like to thank my colleagues on the organising team and the sponsors whose support makes the day possible.”

The main backers of the revived event are Market Weighton Town Council, Britcom, Blue Sky Day Nursery, Tesco, Market Weighton Commercial Risk Solutions and Market Weighton’s New Community Shop.

There are also numerous small businesses which are supporting the day and who will be named in a special brochure, to be delivered to every household in the area.

 Keep in touch with events on Vixen 101 and via the Giant Community Day Facebook and Twitter pages.
