November 2009 Front Page

THE LATEST COPY of the council newspaper East Riding News should have dropped through your door by now. But did you know it was also available online to download on your computer? This is very useful if you want to keep a version that doesn’t take up storage space or if you want to send copies to friends, relatives and ex-pats elsewhere.

Download a copy from the Hedon Blog at East Riding News – November 2009 or directly from the East Riding Council News Archives.

It can also be viewed on Scribd (a programme like YouTube but for documents) at East Riding News – November 2009.

What do you think about the council paper? See an earlier Hedon Blog article on the subject and leave a comment with your views.

GusTheTeddyTHE ST AUGUSTINE’S Dickensian Market was a roaring success yesterday. Hundreds attended the event which saw stall-holders dressing in Victorian costume. However it was Gus and Tina the ‘travelling teds’ which really caught this blogger’s imagination.

Gus and Tina are the well-travelled teddy bears that have been photographed across the globe as part of efforts to raise money for the St Augustine’s restoration funds.

Holiday makers can book Gus or his latterly arrived sister Tina for a fortnight (£5), weekly(£2.50) or daily (£1) trip. The only stipulation is the requirement to send back a photograph showing the teddy bear enjoying itself on holiday!

Contacting the Church – See special announcement.
