BACKGROUND
At a meeting of Parish Councillors held on 29th Jun following the PC elections, it was agreed that the continuing nurturing and development of ‘community spirit’ within the village should be an important part of the PC’s role. It was considered that one way of achieving this was to hold a ‘fun’ event, possibly annually, at which all villagers could be involved. Every Group/Club active in the village or impacting upon village life would be invited to participate. This would help to foster village spirit; a sense of ‘belonging’ and an increased awareness of what the village offered.
We are now looking for volunteers to join a Committee to discuss how best to take this initiative forward. The likely date for the event will be Saturday 11th June, which would coincide with HM The Queen’s Official 90th Birthday Celebrations. If you would like to be part of this initiative please give Paul Cummings a call: 01780 720124

FREE YOGA TALK AND TRIAL CLASS
Ever wanted to find out more about YOGA and have a little go???
Well now is your chance – and what’s more it’s totally free! Next weekend I’ll be putting on a FREE HALF HOUR TALK with some simple demonstrations plus a FREE TRIAL CLASS especially for people who just want to have a little go to see if it works for them. The talk begins at 10.00 followed by the 1 hour class beginning at 10.30. This will take place at Ryhall Village Hall on Saturday 5th September and at Tinwell Village Hall on Sunday 6th September. Booking is essential due to space. Please email deb@do-yoga.co.uk to book in either for the Talk or the Trial Class – or why not come for both? (NB you will need your own mat and blanket to take part in the trial class).
With best wishes, From Deb

The Prince’s Countryside Fund – Autumn Round to Open to UK on 7 September
The Prince’s Countryside Fund was established to support the sustainability and protection of farms and rural communities throughout the UK. The aim of the funding is to have a long-term positive impact on rural communities, helping those that live and work there to sustain the countryside by tackling key rural issues.
The Fund is available to not-for-profit organisations, charities, Social Enterprises, Community Interest Companies, Companies Limited by Guarantee, and Unincorporated Associations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Funding is for a maximum of three years and for a maximum grant of £50,000 per project.
Projects must focus on at least one of the following countryside issues:
* Thriving Rural Communities – projects that provide innovative solutions to deliver assets and services that keep rural communities together and develop a more sustainable rural economy ie, empowering communities to provide village services or create business hubs and employment for local people.
* Rural Livelihoods – projects that focus on developing stronger, more sustainable farm and rural enterprises with the aim of halting the decline of the rural economy, ie providing rural businesses with support and advice or supporting farmer led initiatives.
* Farmers of the Future – projects that help improve skills and increase opportunities of taking up rural careers, in particular in farming, with the aim of remaining within and contributing to the rural economy, ie training opportunities and apprenticeship schemes, inspiring and enabling new entrants to consider a career in farming.
The fund is expected to open on 7 September 2015 and close on 8 October 2015.

Hello all,
Recently I have spoken to one of our Neighbourhood Watch coordinators regarding door to door sellers.
My advice is that if door to door sellers descend on us, then please telephone the police on 101 to inform us, so we can check these people out.
They often get dropped off in villages in groups & later get picked up together. If you see them with a car, then discreetly obtain the registration number details. To legally sell door to door, you require a Pedlars certificate, which the seller must show you.
When speaking to these people, I would suggest that you be polite & just say, “No thanks, I do not buy from people at the door”.
Unfortunately, there are links to criminal activity associated with some of these people.
Trading Standards would also like to hear of such incidents. My contact is Rob EDMONDS & he works from the Peterborough office, but covers Rutland.
He can be contacted on either 01733 747474 (main office) or 01733 453528 (his direct line).
Please feel free to pass these numbers around to local residents?
Regards
Paul

The North Luffenham Parish Council had a meeting on Monday July 20th 2015 and the DRAFT minutes are set out below
I am pleased to advise residents that the Parish Council’s Accounting Statements and Governance Statement for 2014/15 (already posted on this web-site) have received an unqualified audit from Grant Thornton on behalf of the Audit Commission. I will now be posting the Notice of Closure on the Village notice boards. This gives details of when and where these documents can be inspected.
There have been several meetings between North Luffenham Cricket Club and representatives of the Parish Council to discuss the new nets. As a result the Parish Council has produced a final report plus recommendations as to the way forward. These were endorsed by the Parish Council at its meeting on Monday July 20th 2015 and are set out below.
The next meeting of North Luffenham Parish Council will be held on Monday July 20th at the Community Centre and the agenda is shown below
A Group of Parish Councillors has made an in depth review of this event held on the Oval each November 5th and their report is shown below. This report will be on the agenda for the next Parish Council meeting on Monday July 20th so any resident who plans to be at that meeting may find it helpful to see the report in advance.
I have been advised by our Community Police Officer that there are thieves operating in our area of Rutland and all residents are asked to be extra vigilant about security. This is especially important during this hot spell of weather when we, of necessity, open windows etc.
