Publicity to date for the Boat pilgrimage

Hamish and Diana are delighted that their idea of visiting 7 major Cathedrals, Minsters and Churches by boat to help pay for the repair to the stonework of their Norman village Church of St Nicholas in North Newbald has caught the imagination of the media. The above press cutting appeared in the local paper 'The Hull Daily Mail' and has created a huge interest in the project. Further publicity was had on BBC Radio Humberside on the Sunday morning show and a further programme is scheduled for Monday 19th April when the Radio Humberside car and reporter Judi Murden will be down at Beverley Beck at 07.00 Hrs to see us off on our journey. She will then follow us and report our progress live on the programme at 08.45 Hrs. On thursday 22nd April we will have the support of 'The Pocklington Post' which is a weekly newspaper and they too are doing an article on our interesting boat pilgrimage. This publicity hasd lead to an excellent fund raising response of circa £ 800 towards the overrall cost of repairs of £ 30,000.
