As it happens, I did know. Did you?

I confess that I knew nothing of this unique part of Wakefield's history until I received the invitation to tonight's event from Shirley Levon and Pete Taylor. Absolutely fascinating.

Cooking the pasta, drinking the wine. Nice way to end the week.

It was an honour to speak at the Civic Voice Spring Convention at CAPA College over the weekend.

Lovely to be invited to speak at the Civic Voice Spring Convention today; organised by Kevin Trickett MBE and the Wakefield Civic Soc.; lots of great work happening in Wakefield, did I mention that it’s OurYear2024 …oh, and talented students from CAPA College performed 👏👏👏

Fantastic day Civic Voice convention in the north CAPA College in Wakefield an amazing building inspiring so many young people and their creativity. We have heard about some brilliant work by Civic Societies in Yorkshire especially across working in partnership across Wakefield.

Well, after two days of hosting the Civic Voice Spring Convention for YHACS and Wakefield Civic Soc., I'm fair pooped. But it was great fun! Thank you to all who came, our guest speakers for giving up their time and to CAPA College for letting us use their splendid venue.

Looking forward to hearing you Tony! Civic Voice YHACS Wakefield Civic Soc.
