Camera Club Meeting -January 12th 2015

Members and visitors enjoyed an evening with speaker David Harris from Empingham. David’s photography covers many years, including film and darkroom techniques.

His recognition of Shape is very strong and really enhanced by his splendid Black and White prints. He has considerable patience, waiting for figures to enter the view , to show up his sense of scale, with the occasional Fun element.

He has raised an awareness of looking at our own environment, which we could all process into better photos!

The next meeting will be on March 9th at 7.30 with speaker Andrew James.

All visitors are most welcome.

A Little Christmas Magic

The Christmas story told, in song and readings, in a somewhat different way by the Chater Community Choir and children from Brook Hill Academy, to a sell out audience at Oakham School Chapel on Friday 12th December.

The concert seemed to go down well but judge for yourselves by looking on YouTube at the various numbers that were performed.

The concert raised £1520.42 for the British Heart Foundation and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

The choir was formed by Tracy Steward in January 2012 and was the first community choir in Rutland. Since their first concert the choir have raised nearly £5500 for local causes and national charities. New members are always welcome and do not have to audition and no experience is necessary.

For more information on joining the choir visit www.chatercommunitychoir.org.uk

November meeting of the Camera club

Simon Lee gave us a talk and showed photos, for our last meeting this year.
Some of the photos looked very exciting – not to say dangerous- to capture! Being in front of, or alongside, speeding cars and motorbikes, is not something our members have much experience of! Simon’s enthusiasm for his subjects certainly came through in his pictures which are displayed in National Magazines.
The 2015 calendars are going quickly – just a handful left so please ring if you would like one. 01780 720374

The next meeting is on MONDAY January 12th 2015 7.30pm at the Community Centre. VISITORS ARE MOST WELCOME.

North Luffenham Carpet Bowls Club

North Luffenham carpet bowls club

The winter season has just started. Both teams are now in the first division of the North Cambs League because the 2nd team won promotion. However this means that the teams will have to play each other, once at home and once away. Of course the venue will be in the same place, the community centre hall.

Confused! The difference being that each team has its own mat which it plays on regularly, and is used to its foibles. Quite clear really.

All the best to all players. I hope the weather keeps fine for away games.

NLCBC Sec.

Review of polling arrangements

With elections on three levels likely to take place in May 2015 Rutland County Council are conducting a review of polling arrangements. See notice below

Notice of Review 2015 v2 pdf

Community Defibrillator

The North Luffenham Community Defibrillator has now been installed and is situated at The Fox.

Contents

For any medical emergency, first dial 999 (or 112) and ask for ambulance. An emergency ambulance will be dispatched to your address. If a cardiac arrest is suspected, and it is appropriate, the ambulance service will direct you to the defibrillator site and will give the code that opens the cabinet.

Our defibrillator is the latest model and has a video screen and a voice that instructs you how to use it. It obviously helps if you have had training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of a defibrillator. An ‘awareness session’ was held some two months ago and a number of villagers attended from which it is hoped a number of volunteers will form a VETS Scheme (Village Emergency Telephone Scheme). The VETS Scheme is activated by the ambulance service, following the 999 call, contacting by phone a volunteer who will respond by bringing the defibrillator to the address required and helping in the resuscitation. Training for the VETS is being arranged and a date will be posted on the website and emailed to those who have expressed an interest at the ‘awareness session’.

For further information please follow the link for the Community HeartBeat Trust: www.comunityheartbeat.org.uk. For further information open the following link: VETS, or contact Tim Smith using the form below:
