At the full council meeting held on 10th December 2008 Councillor David Sykes, the Deputy Mayor of Pocklington, received a certificate for the training course he recently attended.  The course, run by the East Riding and Northern Lincolnshire Councils Association, gave guidance on the chairmanship of meetings.  Despite David travelling a lot with his job he managed to attend each of the course modules.  Here he is being presented with his certificate from the Town Mayor, Jeff Shepherd.
