In Brief

EAST YORKS: Historic pubs will feature in a new guide from a real ale organisation.

The Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) is launching its first guide to pub interiors of special historic interest.

The aim of the guide is to bring a greater appreciation of historic pubs in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Editor David Gamston said: "It features some Hull and the East Riding pubs and will have wide appeal as an enjoyable guidebook."

Yorkshire's Real Heritage Pubs is available direct from Camra on 01727 867201 or www.camra.org.uk/shop

Costing �4.99, it can also be bought in all good bookshops and some of the featured pubs.

POCKLINGTON: An appeal has been made for volunteers to open a charity shop to the market town.

People are needed to run a Save The Children shop, which could be up and running in the next few months.

Charity worker Sally Look is trying to generate help to organise and man the business.

She said: "There is a niche for a Save The Children shop in Pocklington, and we have been identifying premises.

"What we need now is volunteers who will be given full training."

For more information, call Sally on 01904 449418 or e-mail sally.look@bt.com

EAST YORKS: Farmers are being urged to vaccinate their livestock against a killer disease in the run-up to the grazing season.

The Joint Campaign Against Bluetongue has outlined the devastating consequences of an epidemic to encourage farmers to take action. Bluetongue can lead to sudden deaths, a reduction in fertility, and a 40 per cent cut in milk yields in dairy herds.

A National Farmers' Union (NFU) spokesman said: "Farmers must not forget the economic hardship bluetongue caused in 2007."

Livestock farmers should order stocks of vaccine from their veterinary surgeon.
