DRIFFIELD : Council To Consult On Plans To Remodel Kings Mill Special School

Filed under Driffield by on April 10, 2013 at 7:54 am {no comments}

East Riding of Yorkshire Council will host a public exhibition at Driffield Community Centre, West Garth, on Tuesday, 16 April, 10am-4pm, to explain proposals for remodelling Kings Mill Special School, for which the council has applied for planning approval. Representatives of the school and the council’s design team will be on hand to explain the project and answer any questions. Councillors Barbara Hall and Symon Fraser will also be in attendance as will governors of the school. The exhibition is open to parents, neighbours and the general public and provides an opportunity for people to provide constructive feedback. They can also learn how to respond to the planning authority once the project comes online on the council’s website. Dave Waudby, head of infrastructure and facilities at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Kings Mill is a thriving and popular school for children with special needs and sometimes complex learning difficulties. It has been at the heart of Driffield for about 50 years, but draws children from a wide catchment area of rural East Riding. “The school buildings are too small for the numbers of children currently on roll and there is a long waiting list. “The project would see a [...]

MATCH REPORT : Beverley Whitestar Rams 6 v 4 Driffield Tigers

Filed under Driffield by on February 14, 2013 at 4:35 pm {no comments}

After a run of recent cup games Beverley were glad to get back to league action and took on Driffield Tigers at Leconfield Recreation Ground. Beverley started the game well with fluid passing and pressed Driffield. Despite the early pressure from the home team it was Driffield who scored first when a counter attack sprung the off-side and enabled the striker to finish well one on one with Rams keeper Lewis Richardson. The Beverley coaches were positive from the touch line and they gained a great response from the team, an attacking front line of Max Hollaway, Ollie Baldwin and Ben Hearfield began to exploit their possession and create chances. From further pressure from Baldwin, Beverley gained the equalizer from an own goal. Rams then took the lead when Tom Bruce struck from a curling free kick. With plenty of the half remaining Beverley turned the screw, Hearfield sent in a good cross and Dennis Bailey popped in a great diving header a fourth was then added when Ollie Baldwin broke free and lashed a great shot wide into the top of the net. Beverley started the second half sluggish and allowed a well organised Driffield team back into the [...]

An American Brings Shakespeare to the Wolds

Filed under Driffield by on February 7, 2013 at 11:33 am {no comments}

Ruth Gordon-Morton, an American ex-pat living in Driffield, East Yorkshire is bringing Colin David Reese to perform his one act play Shakespeare Unbound at the North Dalton Village Hall on February 23, 2013. Mr. Reese is a British actor and director with more than forty years of experience. He has shared a stage with icons such as Sir John Gielgud, Alan Bennett and Nigel Hawthorne. At forty years old, he moved to Paris to spend two years as a student at the Ecole Internationale du Theatre with Jacques Lecoq. Colin Reese wrote Shakespeare Unbound after years of research into the vast body of writings about Shakespeare, the theatre of his time, the social place of players (actors) in Elizabethan/Jacobean life and a curiosity regarding what it must have been like to be a player on the boards of The Theatre, The Globe and The Blackfriars. He came to the conclusion that Shakespeare’s works were not to be considered philosophy or literature, but written to be performed live on stage, bringing the characters to life and enchanting the audience. Shakespeare Unbound is written from the viewpoint of John Heminges, a life-long friend of “young Will”. Throughout Shakespeare’s life, he has been [...]

Bright Careers Beckon For Two Sporting Williamsons Solicitors

Filed under Driffield by on January 30, 2013 at 3:44 pm {no comments}

Two newly qualified lawyers are realising their ambitions with permanent positions at Williamsons Solicitors. Hull-based Lucy Ordidge is in the industrial disease department, while Rachel Stott is in the family department, working from Driffield. Their careers have blossomed after a period of intense legal study and in-house training for the two 26-year-olds. Ms Ordidge joined Williamsons Solicitors, at its head office on Lowgate, in 2010 for six months as a paralegal, officially qualifying as a solicitor in 2012 while on a training contract with the firm. She is at the heart of the department’s claimant side work, representing defendants with industrial diseases or conditions, such as hearing loss, in their negotiations with insurers. The young lawyer likes going head-to-head in court with opposing barristers. “I really enjoy the advocacy side of the job and being in court representing our clients against barristers acting for the big insurance firms,” said Ms Ordidge, who organises industrial disease clinics in Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield, while keeping abreast of case law developments. After graduating with a BA in philosophy from the University of Hull in 2008, Ms Ordidge completed a one-year graduate law conversion at BPP Law School in Leeds, doing the equivalent of a [...]
