Just to let everyone know that after a successful and well attended quiz the total amount raised was £425, which has been split between Bielby Church and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Thanks go to Richard and Christine Coe for kindly hosting the event and Andy and Alison Bell for setting the questions.
Thanks.

Halls of South Acre Farm, Melbourne have contacted me to let villagers know that due to the bridge closure at the Thornton end of Marketbridge Lane, they are unable to access fields from that direction, and will need to bring tractors and trailers through Bielby instead.
It should only be for a couple of days, and will be at some point over the next week or two. They will be asking drivers/contractors to drive considerately through the village. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact Sara Ridsdale and we will pass any messages on.
Happy New year to everyone, It's off to a very wet start, but thankfully no serious flooding. (I don't think??)
We are aware of multiple instances of flooding across the East Riding. Our teams have been and continue to be out working to keep residents safe along with our many partners including Humberside Police, Humberside Fire and Rescue and the Environment Agency.
We are working with partners to ensure that pumping is taking place across the East Riding at the locations in the greatest need of relief.
Our services are stretched but we are getting out to all locations.
Please advise residents to keep away from flood waters and swollen rivers, and not to drive through flood water. It is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.
Driving through flooded roads can also push water into homes.
Latest information, advice and regular updates will be shared on the East Riding of Yorkshire council website and our Facebook.
This includes advice for residents about what the council and other partners can do to help in the event of flooding, and what residents can do to help themselves and safeguard their properties.
