Hedon 's civic silver has attracted the attention of the Royal Armouries. When Karen Watts, Senior Curator of Armour, visited Hedon she was delighted to have the opportunity to inspect the ancient Mace which is the pride of Hedon's Civic Silver collection. She declared the 15th century Mace, believed to be the oldest in the country, to be in perfect condition and a "prime example of a civic mace," the best she has ever seen. The Royal Armouries have expressed an interest in borrowing the Mace for a major exhibition next year and are now negotiating with the Town Council. The Hedon Red Cross Youth Group made their annual visit, accompanied by Centre Organiser Anita Hall, Youth Workers Marie Jackson and Bunty Veal and Group Leader Jock Ogston, to the Hull Royal Infirmary on Sunday morning and the Hull Maternity Hospital in the afternoon. The Red Cross Youth Group, under the leadership of Maria Veal have, over the past few weeks been making gifts and cards, which they present to each child who, because they are in hospital, did not have had the opportunity to buy their mum anything for Mother's Day. On the visit to the Maternity Hospital, the Group presented the gifts directly to the mums and mums-to-be as a present from their newly born or yet-to-be-born baby. Hedon Ladies' Lifeboat Guild are holding an Easter Coffee Morning on Tuesday 26th March commencing at 10am. The venue is the Allison Hall on St. Augustine's Gate and the admission price of £1 will include coffee and an Easter bun. There will be RNLI souvenirs on sale, and a raffle. The organisers hope for excellent support for this social occasion, which also provides an opportunity to support a very worthy cause. Hedon Museum has a very interesting and informative exhibition of embroidery at present : the exhibition continues until April 10th ; also showing is the "Jubilee" exhibition which will continue until June 8th. The museum is open from 10am to 4pm. Also available at the museum and open to the general public are "Learn to Email" classes, every Wednesday and Saturday, also from 10 till 4. Paull : work on the Managed Retreat of the Humber Bank to the south of the village is progressing steadily. At the recent meeting of the Focus Group, held in Paull, delegates were taken on a tour of the works in progress before convening to discuss the project and its impact. The scheme is of national interest besides being of importance to the people living in the immediate vicinity of the Humber, and is the subject of a major study by the University of East Anglia. Besides improving flood defences for the vulnerable areas around Paull, Hedon and Thorngumbald it is hoped the improvements will provide new access, amenity and leisure facilities for the general public. Paull Easter Parade, held in Paull Village Hall , raised a total of £175 for Village Hall funds. The competition winners were : Easter bonnets - adults : Mrs. Beryl Marshall, children 1st Jade Inman (6) 2nd Bekky Hyde (7); Decorated Eggs : 1st Bekky Hyde, 2nd Amy Hyde (13).
