Uppingham Film Night Out – The Sapphires

The SapphiresOur new film night season opens next Wednesday, 11th, at 7.15pm in Uppingham Town Hall with a showing of The Sapphires (Reviews: IMDb, RT) .

This is a real feel-good movie, with plenty of food for thought & should send you home humming if not singing to yourselves.

Tickets are on sale at The Falcon (£5) or get them on the door.

Bring along comfy cushions, nibbles, drink – tables & chairs if you like!  We will be delighted to see you all.

Do spread the word! And remember we are putting on a film on the second Wednesday of each month, having secured funding for a year in hopes its popularity will keep it going after that!

Get growing for the Autumn Show!!

table of vegThe Garden Club Autumn Show is being held this year on Sunday September 15th – that may seem ages away but you can start your entries now!

Did you know that as well as the usual classes for fruit and veg we have a class for heaviest marrow, heaviest pumpkin and sunflower head with largest diameter (adult and children)? Get sowing this weekend and grow your entry, and get the kids involved too!

Did you also know that a new class was introduced last year for best ‘homemade alcoholic beverage’, so if brewing is your thing, make something in the coming months.

This year we have revamped the flower arranging classes – choose from:

  1. ‘A Celebration arrangement’ (accessories may be used.)
  2. ‘Simply Red’, an arrangement using plant material only i.e. Flowers, foliage, berries and twigs
  3. Small arrangement for a table.

And finally, if photography is your thing, get snapping – categories this year are Faces (any – people, animals etc), Flower Power, Village Life, Holidays, Light, Close up ( anything). Children (under 16 yrs old) can enter photos of all the above subjects which will be judged separately.

Full schedules should be available next month – to obtain one, please contact secretary Katy Ellis at the Garden Club.

Easter Car Boot Sale raises £242 for Charity

First of all a huge thank you to everyone who came along on such a bitterly cold day to buy and/or sell at the car boot sale here on Easter Monday. With the money from the pitches and the raffle we held for the Tower of Temptation, (won by Tracy Bannister) we raised a little over £242!! Thank you everyone.

Wednesday quiz was interesting! Seems Anty’s Mob are great quizzers but no good at maths, so initially, they were announced to have come last with Alzheimers first and the Old Contemptibles in second place again. Anty then realised they’d not added their score correctly ( and I put my hand up to admit my shame in not double checking as I always do!) so they tied with the Alzheimers! Several tie-break questions later, Anty’s Mob were again victorious. Looking forward to next weeks quiz as one of Anty’s Mob has volunteered to write the questions so I can take part! (thanks Kay).

Many thanks for your continued support. It means so much to us all.

Mob Rule

Dominoes had their last shuffle this week in a cup match which they sadly lost.

Anti’s Mob won the weekly quiz this week, with The Old Contemptibles second and Alzheimers third.

Easter Monday sees our car boot sale in aid of the M.S. Trust. Pitches £5 pre- booked or £7 on the day. A barbecue will be available, regardless of the weather but let’s hope it at least stays dry.

Have you pre-booked your pitch for the Easter Car Boot Sale?

Another month has gone by and the winners of our monthly quiz were Anty’s Mob with KCMS second.

Both the quiz and domino teams scored a victory this week. End of the season for the quiz so we’ll be starting Petanque very soon.

The weekly quiz was won by Alzheimers (by ONE point from Anty’s mob.)

Hopefully we will see the back of this snow very soon and the Easter Monday car boot sale can go ahead as planned – without getting cold and wet!  Save £2 and book your pitch in advance.

Tickets still available for the beautiful Lindt chocolate presentation boxes. £1 each, all money to go to the MS Trust as will the car boot pitch money.

Hope to see you over the Easter period if not before.

Easter Monday Car Boot Sale

Quiz team scored a resounding victory over The Noel Arms this week. This was their pen-ultimate game of the season, so we’ll soon be playing Petanque on Tuesdays 🙂

The weekly quiz was won by Anty’s Mob this week, closely followed by The Alzheimers then The Old Contemptibles. Great night, full of fun. Just how it should be!

Easter Monday we are hosting a Car Boot Sale at the pub from 11 am – 4 pm. (Gates not open before 10 am!) Pitches are £5 pre-booked or £7 on the day and all the money from the pitches will go to the M.S. Trust. We are also doing a barbecue that day – regardless of the weather!

We have donated a beautiful four-tiered collection of Lindt chocolates with three small bottles of wine. Raffle tickets are available as of now, priced at £1. Again, all the money raised will go to the M.S. Trust.

Please call us to reserve a pitch on 01780 721667 and/or pop in to buy the raffle tickets. The draw for this will take place during the day Easter Monday.

The Gover Building

Kathy Reynolds, Chair of Rutland LlNk said: “Having a conversation about end of life choices can be difficult- death is often regarded as a taboo subject. Ensuring We are able to make choices about our Care, treatment and Where we want to die is essential if we are to have a ‘good death’. Knowledge and planning also allows spouses, family members and others to make the most of their time with a loved one.”

If you are interested in finding out more about the End of Life Services in your area, or you have questions that you would like to ask then please join us!

To book your place Contact Jenny Darlow, LINk Engagement Officer on 0116 229 3018 or email jenny@communitiesinpartnership.org.uk
