Root and Branch Out CIC and we are running a free gardening course at our community garden at The Rutland Showground.  It’s held on a Wednesday for two hours and transport can be arranged for people if needed.  

The footpath from the Church to Glebe Rd has been closed as the bridge over the Chater is unsafe. RCC have advised that it will be replaced.

Hard copies of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) are available to read in the Community Centre. If necessary a copy can be delivered to your home for two days. Please contact clerk@northluffenham.org.uk or timsmith@northluffenham.org.uk for either access to the Community Centre or delivery.

Yes good people of North Luffenham it’s happening again. Following last years outstanding thespianic event, and having now been given the final medical all clear for those cast members who suffered frostbite as a result of their heroic efforts in the frozen wastes of The Fox Outdoor Theatre we are pleased to announce the start of this years BAFTA Award entry.

I know literally hundreds of people have been queueing at the Stage Door of the Fox throughout the year to take part in this years extravaganza. So please anyone who would like to participate, be it on stage (or ice rink if last year is anything to go by!), or behind the scenes, (lighting, scenery, sound etc.) please come along to the first planning meeting at 7.00 on Thursday 12th October in the upstairs rehearsal rooms at The Fox. No acting ability is required, just a willing heart and soul and a desire to take part in one of the country’s best pantomimes of 2023. Many have said last years effort cannot be repeated, many have demanded that last years effort is not repeated! Not only will it be repeated, I know it will be surpassed with all your brilliant input.

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible on 12th October.
