FOLLOWING the success of England’s Lionesses at the football World Cup, attention now switches to a team of budding florists from Bishop Burton College, competing in the prestigious Interflora World Cup in Manchester in September.

Led by Julie Bailey, the team of three floristry students will showcase their skills at the Manchester Central Exhibition Complex on Saturday September 9 in a bid to be crowned Student Team of the Year.

The Bishop Burton florists – Kirby Fenwick, Mandi Cooper and Toni Beautyman – will compete against teams from four other colleges. They’ll have just 50 minutes to create a huge worker bee – the symbol of Manchester – in flowers and foliage.

The competition takes place on day three of the Interflora World Cup, being held in the UK for the first time since its inception in 1972, giving a chance for elite florists from around the globe to showcase their talents.

POLICE are appealing for possible witnesses to an attempted burglary at a flat in Toll Gavel, Beverley, on Sunday afternoon. They say three youths were seen on the flat rooftops climbing through an open window near to the Hugh Rice Jewellery shop. They were disturbed by the resident and ran off. Anyone with information should call the non-emergency number 101.

WITH JUST two weeks to go to the East Riding stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race, which finishes in Beverley, the full list of road closures has been announced. Stage three of the race, from Goole to Beverley, will start from Goole’s central’s precinct at about 11.30am on Tuesday September 5, before racing through the East Riding’s towns and countryside and finishing opposite Beverley Racecourse at about 3.30pm.

To keep disruption to a minimum, most road closures will be on rolling basis, only staying in place for as long as they need to as the peloton makes its way along the route.

Signs will be erected along the route to advise road users that some delays should be expected, with approximate times.

There will be fixed closures at the start in Goole and the finish in Beverley, with some in place from the evening of Monday, 4 September, so the start events can be set up.
