Play Area Equipment – Update

3 Replies

As part of the planning process for the building of the new houses on the Rosewood Development, the Parish council received funding to enhance the play equipment on the Oval. Cllr Steve Marson has been working hard to identify, with input from parishioners, the most appropriate equipment. We are now at the point of considering a number of quotations from suppliers. It is hoped that following consultation about the siting of the new equipment, it will be installed in the Spring.

Installation of new waste pipe.

Speeding – Speed Limit Reductions

1 Reply

SPEED LIMITS

After a long drawn out and concerted campaign by the Parish Council and County Councillors, we have been advised that Rutland County Council have agreed to reduce the speed limit on Edith Weston Road from 40MPH to 30MPH and to impose a speed limit of 40MPH along Station Road from the Junction with Ketton Road to the level crossing.

Costings and plans are being drawn up for the necessary signage etc and we will inform the village of the ‘start date’ as soon as the information is available.

BONFIRE NIGHT – 2016 🎆

The Parish Council will again be hosting a Bonfire Night event on the Oval on Saturday 5th November.

This year we invite villagers to bring a ‘Guy’ – guys will be judged at the Pavillion at 6pm and a prize awarded for the best. The Bonfire will be lit at around 6.30 and the fireworks will commence shortly afterwards.

As usual hot food and drinks will be available. There will be a bucket collection to help offset the costs and we would be most grateful for your generosity. Suggested donation is £5 per family

The event costs almost £2,000 to cover the costs of fireworks and insurance and unless we can cover these costs it may not be possible to fund the event in the future.

Thanks to all those that have volunteered to act as stewards, caterers, bonfire builders etc, it is much appreciated.

Photos – Favourites and Principles, Sept 2016

At the September meeting of the Camera Club, David Harris gave a selection of his favourite photos, of course including his Black and White pictures. The subjects covered ranged from People , doing their own thing-watching trains and the Queen! through Insects (macro) and dogs to Sport- Cycling and Burghley and Landscape. The latter covered dramatic scenes in very rough weather, from Northumberland to Cornwall and the Balearics. He looks forward to really bad weather on holidays!

Very apparent in these pictures were David’s use of strong lines and shapes. He has a very good eye for contrasting large and small shapes, with dramatic positioning!

The next meeting of the Camera club is on November 14th, when we have a speaker new to the club. Nigel Spencer is a professional photographer and has travelled most of the world and gives talks all over the country. He will show us “An Evening of Wildlife”

Do have an introduction by visiting his website www.nigelspencer.co.uk Well worth a visit!

Carpet Bowls Club AGM 2016

It was decided at the recent AGM to have a celebration day to commemorate the start of the Club which was soon after the opening of the Community Centre

The day was the 3 September. In the afternoon the Drawn Pairs took place. This when all attending put their names into a hat and drew out a partner. This makes very interesting pairing with champion players partnering novices. It is also very tiring! However the pair who came first were Lynda and Jack and were awarded the cup, next came Paul and Dot, then Jason and Martin. Good for them and now it was time to eat..

The buffet supper was enjoyed by all at 7 pm Players and wives were delighted with chicken and salmon etc and all sorts of salad dishes followed by fantastic deserts. Seconds were obligatory. When coffee was being served Paul gave a short history of the club and paid tribute to Jason for his enthusiasm and drive in starting the club and making it grow . Tim then presented a silver engraved plate to Jason. Jason had recently resigned from the chair having held it for 19 years.

Anyone interested in having a go at bowls there is a practice evening on Mondays in the hall 7 to 9. Come along . Tea and biscuits for a small fee. The game keeps you and you toes and is great fun.
