A community group which took over Hornsea's Floral Hall

The east coast attraction will operate without any financial

help from the council for the first time next year.

The hall had been losing thousands of pounds of tax payers money,

Cinema club at Hornsea's Floral Hall.

One of a number of activities put on by this community

for the community to keep this venue alive.

And it's proving popular just five years since the lights almost

All these volunteers made such a lot of it. The events and activities, it

is a centre for the community. If it closed that would be devastating for

a small place like this. Today the Floral Hall is run

by a community group, backed financially by the East Riding

of Yorkshire Council. But 2017 will be their moment

of truth, because that's when the council money comes

to an end. Literally by the middle of next year

we are now grown with no safety net or anything, but I am not bothered

about that, because we are running it as a business for the community

and we are making a profit. At its worst, Hornsea's Floral Hall

was costing the council But after handing it over

with a final ?180,000's worth of help, last year the Hall

made a profit of ?10,000 The community are running it with

their own business plan and using volunteers and other means the

council can't. the future of Hornsea's Floral Hall

looks secure, even as The Mayor of Grantham says

she's received abusive messages from people unhappy

that she welcomed the Belvoir Hunt Councillor Linda Wooten

turned out in opposition. It's not been very nice but I was

determined I wouldn't be intimidated and that was absolutely no way I was

going to pull out of my public role this morning, and to see the public

has made my day because I have proved my point.

North Ferriby United lost today's clash with neighbours York City

It was the first time the two had met in a competitive game and around

2,000 turned up to watch it alongside our sports

With both of these sides facing relegation and a big crowd expected,

fans were urged to turn up early, and the dead. This was the cue one

hour before kick-off, the biggest attendance since North Ferriby

United made their promotion into the National League. It was York City

who made all the key moves in the first half with the deadlock broken

30 minutes into the game. In the second half, the wind even things up

a bit. Minutes from the end, Sutton almost got the elusive equaliser,

but it was not to be for the team from the East Riding. The sun was in

my eyes and must have been in the goalkeeper's eyes, so very

disappointing. Played all right, need to improve for the New Year

games definitely. What did you make? Enjoyed the football match. Scrappy

goal and in the second half they did goal and in the second half they did

what they dead and tried to get in the box and unfortunately we just

couldn't put one on the end of it. As the two managers conclude duties

they are talking about one thing only and that is meeting each other

again because these two sides do battle at Bootham Crescent on New

Year's Day. Let's hope for everybody's sake it is a far better

match. Around 40 swimmers have

braved the cold to take part in a Boxing Day dip

at South Landing in Flamborough. People dressed in Superhero costumes

plunged into the North Sea It's the eighth year

that it's taken place. It's just really charitable and it's

good fun. I'm from Germany and we don't do this crazy stuff so I just

wanted to test it. Really nice people with a hot toddy afterwords

to warn the brave people up. After a cold day it is going to be a

cold night and the temperature takes a real tumble, so the odd patch of

frost and Fog is quite possible. The temperature in towns and cities

dropping to two Celsius but ruling it could drop low and we could see

frost, but the crisp and bright start to the data model and things

looking largely Diane settled. Look at all that sunshine, but the

temperature would claim that much because when the light winds it will

feel quite chilly with highs of about seven Celsius.

That's the latest and we will be back tomorrow lunchtime, goodbye.

and longer spells of rain over northern isles. By the end of the

night, temperatures recovering once again after a chilly evening, three

to five Celsius. Tomorrow and for the next couple of days, we have

this area of high pressure which will really settle the weather down,

compared with of late. We start tomorrow on a mainly dry note. There

will be a few showers continuing in the north-west and the northern

isles, and the wind picking up here as we go through the day. Elsewhere,

it's looking dry, with plenty of brightness and sunshine and not as

raw a field tomorrow as we have had today, with less in the way of wind.

Temperature wise, up a notch to around seven to nine Celsius. For

the rest of the UK, we are also under the influence of high

pressure. Dry conditions across the board, with brightness and sunshine

and very little in terms of wins.
