Support BP RUFC Charity Fun Day – The Miracle of Smiles!

THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL is full of smiles – but she never nearly survived to delight us with these!

Eva Rose Lindop was born on Friday, 17th December 2010. Following a series of fits she was rushed into Hull Royal and then at only three days old to Leeds General Infirmary where she had a 3-hour operation to remove a blood hemorrhage from the brain.

Following intensive care she was sent home on Thursday 23rd December, and as the smile tells us, she appears to have made a fabulous recovery.

Proud Hedon Grandad Jim Lindop has shared this story with us to encourage people to attend the (click link for details) Charity Fun Day at the BP Rugby Union Football Club ground at Eastside, Saltend on Saturday 9th July 2011 from 2pm.

Money raised at this family friendly event will go towards the Paediatric High Dependency Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Leeds.

Support this event – help both hospital units to continue to provide little miracles like they did for Eva!

Tractor charity road run

It forecast a wet morning for the 3rd April but what a lovely day it turned out to be for the 21 mile vintage tractor charity road run in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Starting outside the Humber Tavern in Paull, the ladies and gents (yes, there was a couple of lady tractor drivers amongst them) travelled through Preston, Burstwick, Keyingham and along down the sleepy roads near Cherry Cob sands where the drivers could look across the fields and see the banks of the Humber and across the river to the South bank.
The event was organised for the second time following the success of last year by former farm manager Geoff Stephenson, Geoff also owns three vintage tractors.
I was told that around 80 tractors took part at a cost of £10 per tractor. I haven’t got anything official for how much was raised but if all went to plan the total just for the entry fee for the tractors should be around £800. Well done guys and gals.
