Village Show
The honourable members of the show comittee met over coffee and cakes (it being dry January and I had no alcohol in the house!) and we set a date for the 32nd Bielby Produce show to be held on Saturday 3rd August 2024. At Stoneleigh, with thanks again to Dale and all the team there.
A preliminary list of categories is attached here to enable you to get your seeds planted in good time and also practice your baking/pickling/fermenting/knitting etc etc.
Just a note on the beetroot and carrots, we have asked for trimmed tops; Mike, the judge last year advised that we ask for this so we dont get overwhelmed with profuse amounts of leafy tops on the display tables. Trim them to approx 75mm if you would.

Hull & East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy event.
A new environmental strategy is being drawn up to enhance and restore nature in East Yorkshire, with the help of local communities.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is leading on the creation of the Hull & East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (HEY LNRS), working with partner organisations including Hull City Council.
Local Nature Recovery Strategies were introduced as part of the Environment Act (2021) to help deliver the Government's vision for a Nature Recovery Network across England.
The HEY LNRS will identify local priorities for nature recovery, proposing ways to enhance existing nature hotspots and to create new habitats. It will also incorporate wider environmental goals, such as water and soil quality improvement, flood alleviation, and climate change mitigation.
Councillor Paul West, cabinet member for environment, said: "We want to make sure this new strategy meets the needs of our communities, farmers, businesses and, of course, our wildlife.”
We are also running an LNRS workshop specifically for land managers/farmers on Thursday, February 8 at 6pm. Could you please share the Eventbrite link to anyone who may be interested in attending - Hull & East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) Online Workshop Tickets, Thu 8 Feb 2024 at 18:00 | Eventbrite
You can find out more information on the HEY LNRS by watching our introductory webinar on YouTube - Hull & East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy Webinar Dec 2023 (youtube.com)

Allerthorpe and Thronton Soay Solar Farm and Greener Grid Park
Update from the Project Team, We started constructon of the project late last year, which will be completed in three phases:
Phase 1: 2023-2024: Site mobilisation and grid connection
Phase 2: 2024-2025: Greener Grid Park construction
Phase 3: 2025: Solar Farm construction
At this time we can share information on Phase 1:
• Siemens Energy are contracted to undertake this phase of works.
• The temporary 30mph zone along Melbourne Road near Allerthorpe is to increase road safety until site entrance works are completed, which we expect will be by the end of this year.
• Temporary traffic lights will be required at the site entrance for approximately one month. We expect them to be in place early February.
This is a temporary situation for one month at the site entrance only, to minimise disruption to local traffic.
Please note: our construction activity is separate from the local National Grid works
