East Kirkby
Here are two photos provided by Jean of the East Kirkby event, with two more of the social side of things here. Plus Martin has reported The East Yorks (especially Mr Cooper and Mr Irving) find fame in a mini documentary found on Facebook and Youtube - here. Quite good reporting.
Haworth May 15/16 2011
Corporal Lycett has provided a few pictures from the Haworth weekend, reporting that is was a somewhat colourful and exotic procession this year, if I may paraphrase him. The highlights however were the appearance of Vincent White's family and the very amusing and handsome Mr Hunter.
Ryedale Folk Museum, Easter 2011
The group had a great Easter weekend at Ryedale Folk Museum, Hutton le Hole. The weather was very hot and sunny (apart from 1 hour on Saturday night where we had thunder and lightning and hailstones the size of marbles!!!)
There was a fantastic turn out and the group was joined by the Haworth Home Guard Army Catering Corps and a contingent of civies including Land Army, WVS, Civil Defence and the woman from the ministry, promoting the virtues of offal! It wouldn't have been easter without chicks and chocolate (unfortunatly the chocolate was on ration!)
The group received briefings from the Inteligence officer on the 'enemy' and the RAF we're promoting Wings for Victory. Private Hancock was very generous and 'donated' his months wages to the appeal. Here are some photos of the event provided by Christine.

AGM and 2011 Events Confirmed
The Annual General Meeting was held at Stockton Forest on Sunday 13th March. Amongst other group meeting items the 2011 events were confirmed. These are listed in the 'Events planned for 2011' section in the side column of this website. It looks like another good list of events for the year.
70th anniversary of the Sheffield Blitz
The event was the 70th anniversary of the Sheffield blitz. The East Yorks lads were in the city centre on the 12th Dec with a good display for the general public. Due to the interest that was generated, it was difficult to photograph the lads in action! Photos and text from Bill.
