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.

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

YOGA WORKSHOP
Yoga Weekend Workshop Sunday 12th October 2014 2 – 4.30pm at Preston Village Hall
How Can Yoga Help Weightloss?
Yoga can be used as a physical exercise – just like any other… but in this workshop we’ll also look at the other aspects of yoga that can truly alter patterns of behaviour linked to comfort eating and image perceptions. Not all serious and sweaty – we’ll take a lighthearted view at accepting ourselves as we are and develop strategies to embrace change in a fun and loving way.
Do Yoga! Weekend Workshops are great for new and existing students. Those already attending classes can learn a fresh application for yoga or inspire their home practice. They are ‘stand alone’ classes, taught from the basics up, and are ideal for people new to yoga – so why not come along and give it a try?
They are fantastic value at £15 per 2 1/2 hour session.
