"When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow, we gave our today."
— The Kohima Epitaph

I started to list all the people to thank for joining us earlier today at the Remembrance Parade and Service, but between hitting the character limit and inevitably forgetting someone - I'd like to thank everyone equally, both those who marched and those who came along to support us through the town.

Please join us again on Wednesday morning, 11th November at 10:45, at the Remembrance Garden for the Armistice Day Service.

Thank you to Driffield in Bloom for organising the Children's Remembrance Service on Sunday.

It was lovely to see how well attended the service was and to join the children in placing their crosses by the graves of our war veterans.

Welcome to our new Tiger Inn landlords, Simon and Charlie!

It was a pleasure to cut the ribbon this morning and officially open your doors. Your refurb looks great and I wish you the very best of success in our town!

🐯 A warm welcome from the new faces at The Tiger Inn! 🍻

We have been posting for the past 3 weeks with no one actually knowing who we are! So meet Simon (Left) and Charlie (Right)😄

With over 30 years combined experience in the pub trade were nothing short of knowing how to have a good time and bringing life to a pub for everyone to enjoy 💃

We’re delighted to introduce ourselves as the new landlords of The Tiger Inn and we’re really excited to get started, welcome familiar faces and new visitors through them doors next week 👋

Pop in, say hello and give us a warm welcome🙂

October has flown by!

Tomorrow, I will be back at Love Driffield Food Bank and Community Hub between 10am and noon for my monthly Coffee Morning.

Please pop by and chat, bring any feedback or ideas for me to take to Council next week. We had some great ideas last month and it was a pleasure to see them discussed and all agreed by the Council.

If you don't know where the Food Bank and Community Hub is, the entrance is on Exchange Street, under the archway that reads "The Exchange".

Two great events last week!

On Thursday, I had the pleasure of joining Driffield Probus Club for their annual dinner and presenting their inaugural annual members shield. Thank you to the Probus Club for inviting us. The food was lovely and the company even more so. Thank you too to Paula, our Deputy Town Clerk, for being my consort for the day.

On Saturday, the RBL invited me to join them for the launch of their 2026 Poppy Appeal. It was wonderful to listen to the Driffield Silver Band, and I hope the RBL has another successful collection this year. Looking forward to the parade on the 8th of November.

Thank you to Linda Johnson, Chairman of East Riding Council, for inviting us to be a part of her Civic Service at Toll Gavel Church yesterday afternoon.

It's always lovely to catch up with the Lord Lieutenant, the High Sheriff and the other Mayors from across the East Riding.

Thank you to the Driffield Afternoon W.I. for welcoming us to their Music & Market Charity Event on Friday night.

It was great to see lots of local stallholders, enjoy some tasty cakes and our first mince pie of the season, and listen to an amazing music concert that's kept us humming along all day Saturday too!

It was great to join The Limes for their 70th birthday celebrations!

Lovely to meet your residents and recreate the photo from 70 years ago, when the Mayor of Driffield opened your home. Looking forward to seeing the photo in the Wold's Weekly next week!

After a quieter week last week, it was my pleasure to present Driffield Northfield Infant School's School Council badges at their assembly on Tuesday.

All the children were so well behaved, and best of luck to the 8 new school councillors!

(I forgot to take a photo of the badges, so here's a photo I found online for illustration purposes ^_^).
