we are back with the late news at 11pm, now on BBC One it's time

:00:00.:00:08.

Three days until Hull becomes the UK City of Culture for 2017,

:00:09.:00:14.

the man in charge says people will be amazed by what's on offer

:00:15.:00:17.

The year officially launches at 4pm this Sunday with a seven-day event

:00:18.:00:23.

called Made in Hull, which uses large-scale projectors

:00:24.:00:26.

to display 100 years of the city's history on public buildings.

:00:27.:00:31.

We wanted to do something to open which was free,

:00:32.:00:36.

It runs for seven nights from the 1st to the 7th of January,

:00:37.:00:41.

This is a great story of the city being told in dynamic and unusual

:00:42.:00:50.

ways and I think people will find a lot to inspire, interest

:00:51.:00:55.

Police have released the name of a man who died in a crash

:00:56.:01:00.

David Lamming, who was 63 and from Goxhill, crashed his van

:01:01.:01:05.

Police are investigating whether he became ill at the wheel.

:01:06.:01:12.

A last chance message is being given to Lincolnshire entrepreneurs to get

:01:13.:01:16.

hold of millions of pounds of European funding before

:01:17.:01:19.

There's no guarantee the grants for small rural businesses

:01:20.:01:24.

Katy Austin reports from the village of Fiskerton near Lincoln.

:01:25.:01:32.

A couple of months ago, Mike realised his dream.

:01:33.:01:35.

he set up a micro-brewery on a farm in Fiskerton.

:01:36.:01:39.

One of the reasons for applying for the funding was that we saw

:01:40.:01:44.

an opportunity to build a bigger project that would allow us

:01:45.:01:49.

to employ people within the local area and ensure that we grew

:01:50.:01:54.

The grant came from what's called a leader scheme,

:01:55.:01:59.

money from the European Union specifically designed to help

:02:00.:02:02.

Around ?6 million of leader funding is available across Lincolnshire.

:02:03.:02:09.

People can apply for grants, typically around ?25,000,

:02:10.:02:13.

for projects which will boost the rural economy, anything

:02:14.:02:16.

from tourism, to local produce, to heritage.

:02:17.:02:20.

The brewery may do so again if it wants to expand but the current

:02:21.:02:26.

The Brexit vote has created some uncertainty over what happens next.

:02:27.:02:33.

I don't know what arrangements will be made in the future for EU

:02:34.:02:38.

funding but obviously funding like this does help businesses.

:02:39.:02:42.

It certainly helped our business and we are spending that money wisely.

:02:43.:02:45.

Without it we wouldn't be employing the people we intend to employ.

:02:46.:02:50.

Who gets the EU money is decided at local level by local action

:02:51.:02:55.

groups and they are also unsure about the future.

:02:56.:02:58.

Obviously, things are going to change when Brexit happens

:02:59.:03:01.

but we are optimistic the government is working

:03:02.:03:04.

There will be domestic funds, we hope,

:03:05.:03:09.

and we hope to be part of those so it's wait and see.

:03:10.:03:12.

But their main message is encouraging people to apply

:03:13.:03:15.

for the leader funding now while it's definitely there.

:03:16.:03:18.

If anyone out there has got an idea, they want to know more,

:03:19.:03:22.

We asked the government if it can guarantee it will replace EU

:03:23.:03:29.

business grants for rural areas following Brexit.

:03:30.:03:32.

It told us projects will be honoured in future if they are good value

:03:33.:03:37.

for money and in line with government priorities.

:03:38.:03:40.

Mike's beers are already being sold in Lincoln pubs.

:03:41.:03:43.

He's hoping the grant scheme that has helped him and other businesses

:03:44.:03:47.

A man who's spent 25 years trying to save a crumbling medieval tower

:03:48.:03:55.

near Hull has been awarded more than ?100,000.

:03:56.:03:59.

Simon Taylor will receive a grant of around ?160,000

:04:00.:04:03.

from Historic England to protect Paull Holme Tower, which is almost

:04:04.:04:07.

This money that we've received is really significant.

:04:08.:04:14.

It allows us to finally start repairing the brickwork and put

:04:15.:04:17.

We are going to put a roof on it, the building inside will be dry

:04:18.:04:22.

and hopefully when the open day comes along in September,

:04:23.:04:25.

all the public can come along and see this magnificent building.

:04:26.:04:29.

More than 4,000 Lincoln City fans will watch their team play

:04:30.:04:31.

The non-league side beat Oldham Athletic in the previous

:04:32.:04:36.

round to book the tie against Ipswich in the new year.

:04:37.:04:39.

The club have sold double their initial allocation of 2,000 seats.

:04:40.:04:44.

A sport for older people that was first played

:04:45.:04:47.

in East Yorkshire is becoming more and more popular,

:04:48.:04:49.

Walking netball clubs are being set up for people who no

:04:50.:04:54.

longer want to take part in high-speed exercise.

:04:55.:04:57.

Laura Foster reports from Anlaby, near Hull.

:04:58.:05:00.

From the brightly coloured bibs to the squeak of the trainers

:05:01.:05:03.

on the hall floor and the blow of the umpire's whistle,

:05:04.:05:06.

this sport is very similar to the sport you know from school.

:05:07.:05:10.

It makes it easier for people who have got some kind

:05:11.:05:17.

It saves some people from isolation, the older people who haven't been

:05:18.:05:22.

But the women who are part of this club at Haltemprice Leisure Centre

:05:23.:05:27.

say it's about more than just fitness.

:05:28.:05:29.

The camaraderie is absolutely brilliant.

:05:30.:05:31.

It's got me back into doing things really.

:05:32.:05:35.

Going into a gym is quite intimidating sometimes

:05:36.:05:38.

but we get new ladies here and they just

:05:39.:05:41.

It's been a lifeline for people like Pat.

:05:42.:05:45.

It's something to come out for and you make new friends.

:05:46.:05:58.

Walking netball was actually started in East Yorkshire.

:05:59.:06:01.

Since then it has been adopted by clubs across the country

:06:02.:06:05.

and moreover it is proving so popular that even more

:06:06.:06:08.

sessions are going to be held in East Yorkshire

:06:09.:06:11.

There are already clubs like in Goole, Withernsea,

:06:12.:06:16.

Beverley and there's one in Boston, but come next year the hope

:06:17.:06:19.

is that there'll also be sessions in Stamford,

:06:20.:06:23.

Hull, Driffield, Cleethorpes and Grimsby.

:06:24.:06:26.

Hopefully it is going to get up there with walking football.

:06:27.:06:28.

We've only had women in our sessions so far.

:06:29.:06:30.

Whether in the future we get any men, who knows,

:06:31.:06:34.

but at the moment it's a lot of women.

:06:35.:06:38.

The success of sports like this shows that just because you get

:06:39.:06:46.

older doesn't mean you have to give up the things you love.

:06:47.:06:51.

Now the weather forecast with Keeley Donovan.

:06:52.:07:00.

Good evening. Tomorrow is not going to be quite as chilly as it has been

:07:01.:07:06.

today. We won't have that crisp winter sunshine. There will be more

:07:07.:07:11.

cloud around. But we will continue to see those temperatures rise. If

:07:12.:07:16.

you are out and about at midnight, there will be some rain. Into the

:07:17.:07:21.

New Year, a blast from the Arctic so it will feel cold. We have still got

:07:22.:07:26.

some icy stretches. The wind and fog will become less dense through the

:07:27.:07:32.

night. We are going to get more cloud overnight and it will become a

:07:33.:07:35.

little bit breezy as well but at some point in the night temperatures

:07:36.:07:40.

will drop to around freezing. Into tomorrow, it will be a cloudy day.

:07:41.:07:46.

It will thin and break in places to allow some glimmers of sunshine and

:07:47.:07:50.

it won't feel as chilly as today with temperatures where they should

:07:51.:07:54.

be at this time of year. Temperatures creeping up on New

:07:55.:07:57.

Year's Eve but rain overnight makes it cooler for the New Year.

:07:58.:08:01.

Temperatures have dropped away shortly and we have seen some fog,

:08:02.:08:24.

particularly through the Midlands. We do have some clout drifting in

:08:25.:08:28.

from the west. By the end of the night, towards the East Midlands as

:08:29.:08:34.

well. Further north, more of a breeze from the south-west, bringing

:08:35.:08:38.

in a weather front. Keeping the temperatures at seven or 8 degrees.

:08:39.:08:43.

Freezing or just below to the south-east corner. Fog will live to

:08:44.:08:46.

low cloud and generally speaking a lot

:08:47.:08:47.
