They all went, yes all fifty three of them, to sing in front of about eight thousand audience members! This day was very important because it was the fifteenth anniversary of young voices.

Latest Developments on High-speed Broadband.
|
Recently, LN Communications has installed a relay mast behind the Methodist Church. Quite a few households should be able to receive a signal from there. Check whether you have a clear line-of-sight from your roof. Anyone interested should contact the company direct at:
"I Love Broadband", Unit 10, Scotchburn Garth, Skerne Road, Driffield, YO25 6EF,
or go to their website at: www.ilovebroadband.co.uk/
More extensive availability around the Village can be expected in the spring.
We understand that BT has also been upgrading its service in the Village. Some fibre-optic lines have been installed, and will enable customers to access their top-of-the-range Broadband Infinity Service within a few months.
