Many thanks from the Cricket Club to everyone, both members and non members, who helped out on the “Ground Force” clean up of the Pavilion. It was a great demonstration of community spirit.
The building is looking much better for a Jetwash, repaired guttering and roof and a cleaned and repainted interior.
There are still some details to finish off, and the new carpets that have been ordered need to be fitted.
Once all the work is completed, the pavilion will once again be fit for hosting the cricket team, and also any other village community events who wish to utilise the building

05/04/16 –Theft of registration number – Glaston road, Preston
04/04/16 – Burglary – Holme close, Tinwell
As you can see we are still being targeted for Burglary related crime including sheds, garages & stables, whereby power tools and gardening equipment are stolen. We are trying to target offenders, carrying out police patrols in the areas affected and liaising with neighbouring police forces.
We are urging residents to review their home security, especially their sheds and outbuildings.
Our current Problems solving plans are tackling burglary related crime in Ketton, hare coursing along the A47 corridor villages between Uppingham and Barrowden and tackling the increased threat of lead thefts from church roofs. There have been 7 thefts in the Melton Mowbray area this year.
We have visited all Rutland Churches and carried out risk assessments on their security to reduce the threat.
Last month I mentioned the launch of the Leicestershire and Rutland Rural Watch, which tackles rural crime. Please visit its website, via the below link? It contains rural crime updates and a whole host of crime prevention advice.

North Luffenham Parish Council (Trustee to Oval and Field Gardens) met on March 14th 2016 and the DRAFT minutes are set out below
The pupils at St Mary and St John Primary School in North Luffenham spent last week coming up with a range of inventive ideas to support the campaign.Some classes chose to don their favourite outfit and dance for 30 minutes, while others were swimming, or skipping, scootering or biking around a course.

Pupils build their own model satellites
The theme has been space and the aim of the week is to spark children’s enthusiasm and celebrate all things scientific and technological, with some maths and engineering thrown in.
Families were challenged to build a vehicle that would transport a chocolate bar to a fixed target, and demonstrate a scientific understanding, accuracy and durability.
An amazing array of ideas were tested, with the Hodson family winning the competition.

Our meeting on March 7th, was very much tuned in to our speaker’s creative ideas. She brought in a range of her artwork (cards and glass) and showed photos which stimulate this work.
These showed us a great range of IDEAS – from silhouettes, shadows and reflections to distortions and movement.
There were some very unusual 360 degrees photos – 52 taken from the same spot and stitched together. The one/s taken from St Pancras were striking.
Her latest travels included Australia’s Opal mines.
Not being a photoshop fan, she only uses one camera and one lens, so apart from a little injection from Picasa! she makes it all seem very straightforward. The overall impression we were left with, was her use of Colour and Shape. Plenty of Ideas here for us to try out!

North Luffenham’s Annual Parish meeting will be held at 7-30 pm on Monday April 11th 2016 in the Community Centre. All residents of North Luffenham are welcome. The Chairman and Clerk/Responsible Financial Officer will be in attendance to answer any questions concerning Parish Council affairs. The agenda is shown below together with the Chairman’s report which will be considered at the meeting.
A national initiative has been launched asking local authorities to clean and tidy up their Public spaces as part of the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations. I am pleased to say that North Luffenham plans to respond to this by having a “Clean for the Queen” weekend on April 16th & 17th to clean and tidy the Oval Recreation ground.
This is being organised by Charles Cade. Any residents of North Luffenham who wish to help with this should meet Charles at the cricket Pavilion at 10-00 am on either of those days
North Luffenham village day will be held on Saturday June 11th 2016 and details are as set out below in a note from the Chairman of the Parish Council
Please see below a schedule showing the names of the 8 North Luffenham Parish Councillors and their responsibilities
For those of you who have thought recently, “h’mm the Pavilion is looking a bit grubby” or have mentioned things could do with a tidy up, now is your chance to help to make a difference.
The Cricket Club have obtained sponsorship for materials from Natwest, & is undertaking a “Get Stuck In” weekend from Friday 1st April to Sunday 3rd April. Obviously “Many Hands Make Light Work” and so we would welcome help from anyone who would be willing to assist in any way (for any period of time over the weekend) to get as much done as possible.
The intention is to spruce up the pavilion with a clean up and do some general maintenance – painting and repairs etc to make the pavilion and the area surrounding it a more pleasant place to be.
The pavilion is a village facility, able to be used by various different organisations within the village, and a clean up will make it a more welcoming space for anyone who wants to use it
If you can help out, please contact 07787557511 for further details and we look forward to seeing you over the weekend.
