FRANKIE HOWERD
“Oooh, no missus … No, no, liss-un … Titter ye not … Oh, please yourself, then.” Who has not heard these trademark phrases of one of our greatest comic legends who was born Francis Alick Howard on the 6th March 1917 in York.
After failing an audition for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) he started his career by entertaining the troops during World War II and made his radio debut in 1946 on the BBC’s “Variety Bandbox”. He began to flourish with material written by Eric Sykes, Galton and Simpson and Johnny Speight.

How to Help
There are many ways in which you can help us achieve our goal and make our project a success.
In a few months’ time we are hoping to open the Hub as a cafe and takeaway and, although we shall have a full-time manager in charge, it would be wonderful (if you live locally) if you could volunteer some time whenever convenient for you. We will only know exactly what we require nearer the time, but please feel free to contact us now and leave your details and say briefly how and when you might be able to assist.
Once we have built the activity centre, we will need volunteers to help run our anticipated activities. We already have quite a few local residents eager to do this, but it would be great to have as many as possible to make sure that we provide a superb service. Again, the activity centre will probably not be finished until well into 2022, but please contact us now with your details and how you might help in this area.
