Foodbank Collection

Please note that as from this week, the foodbank collection will return to the church now that it is  open daily. 

 No box will be left in the telephone box. Two boxes are located in the church porch and will be  available to fill 9am-5pm every day.  

 The foodbank team will collect the boxes fortnightly and return empty boxes in their place. Please do continue to support the local charity. 

Many thanks on behalf of Rutland Foodbank

Woodland Walk

NLPC approved the extension of the walk so that it came out at the top of Pinfold Land near the junction with the Edith Weston Rd. some time ago. Unfrotunately there have been delays in getting a contractor to do the required fencing.

Walkers are kindly requested to keep to the present walkway and not walk across the top of the field that is close to Geoff Sewell Close and the Edith Weston Rd..

Men (and Women) in Sheds Oakham

Villagers in North Luffenham may be interested in the “Men in Sheds” Oakham project. This is a fully equipped workshop, located at Oakham Enterprise Park, available to the over 50’s who would like to use and share practical skills, tools and resources to work on projects of their own choosing.

East Midlands Today featured the project during one of their local news programmes, click on the link below to view the news report

More details on the workshop, and how to take part are on the website, Men in Sheds | Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland and in the attached poster

North and South Luffenham Bench Project

Many thanks for everybody who has donated to the project. The benches have now been ordered and a contractor has given an estimate for their siting. To complete the funding of the project probably another £600 needs to be raised.

If you would like to donate then please contact the NLPC Clerk: clerk@northluffenham.org.uk

Chater Bowls AGM 2021

Chater Bowls Club will be holding its AGM on Wednesday 21st July in club house on Pinfold Lane at 2:00pm.

Non members are welcome, so if you are thinking about playing outdoor bowls this summer come down and introduce yourself and see how the club is run.

I can assure you it is not a stuffy affair.

Possible harmful substance found on The Oval

On Wednesday 14th school children found a plastic bag containing white cubes. There was also white powder on the ground among a number of discarded alcohol bottles. Please warn children not to pick up items on The Oval.

The Parish Council is responsible for The Oval and will check to see there is nothing of potential harm lying about.
