So what are we doing to celebrate? We wanted to mark our decade in MCG style and do things that other people could join in with. We’ve set ourselves ten separate themed challenges and we’ll be starting one each month. In March we launched the anniversary booklist. April’s challenge has a Grow Your Own theme with a produce show at the end of July to eat or admire the results. Later in the year we will be taking part in physical challenges, cooking each other’s favourite dishes, there will be a wardrobe challenge and a how much fun can you have with a tenner event.

To whom it may concern

I should start by saying I’m a big fan of young people. I have three of my own and I love them and their friends. I don’t buy into the theory that most young people are a waste of space and usually up to no good. Rather, I think they are, on the whole, funny, fearless, sassy, ambitious, inventive, adventurous, bold and loyal.

It’s Yorkshire Day on Sunday and we’ll obviously be celebrating at Mortimer Chadwick Gray with lashings of Yorkshire Tea, Yorkshire pudding, parkin, balti, rhubarb and Tetley’s bitter.

We have plenty to be proud of in Yorkshire, but then the same could be said of many counties in the UK each with their own identity, traditions, regional specialities and sites of historical interest. So why do so few of them have a county day? Just Yorkshire and Lancashire according to my research, but they only wanted one because we had one first.
