Women’s World Day of Prayer

Coffee Morning

The interdenominational movement of the Women’s World Day of Prayer invites everyone to attend one of over 5,000 services being held on Friday 2nd March with the title “All God’s Cre-ation is Very Good”. We will join an estimated 3 million people around the world that day in a service which has been written this year by the women of Suriname in South America.

Starting in Samoa as the sun rises, and end-ing as the sun sets off the coast of American Sa-moa, the service will have been translated into more than 95 languages and 1000 dialects as we are reminded that we have responsibilities in caring for this wonderful world we live in.

With its vast rainforest and wealth of resourc-es, Suriname asks us to pray for conservation and the protection of wildlife, through an aware-ness of pollution, misuse and abuse, as well as for the situation in Suriname and concerns for the future.

This is not simply a day of prayer for women, but for everyone who cares about our world and those who live in it. Our local service is at 2 p.m. at Hallcroft Methodist Chapel.

Our Next Coffee Morning will be onSaturday 31st March from

10.30am to 12.30pmwe will remind you again next month

Race Night Review

Where can you enjoy a sumptuous dinner, enjoy the company of your friends, have LOTS OF FUN and go home with EXTRA CASH in your pocket!

WHERE?? At the VILLAGE HALL of course!!WHENAt the ANNUAL RACE NIGHT

We had a great night, noisily urging our jock-eys and horses to be first past the post.

There was great excitement as the horses thundered around the race track, bringing joy to some and heartache to others while some of the horses wouldn’t even have won the Donkey Der-by!

The lucky punters, who were able to pick the winners, went home with money in their pockets even after the modest entrance fee.

Many thanks to Paul & Les who acted as bookmakers [honest], to Liz, Rita and Rosie for their excellent catering and not forgetting the Clerk of the Course, Graham.

A great event, enjoyed by all.A Penniless Punter!

Dogs Fouling

Parish Council Meeting

The issue of dog fouling doesn’t seem to have abated unfortunately and so we have asked the Dog Warden and Environmental Health to get in-volved.

They will be visiting the village and known ‘hotspots’ to review the situation and improve signage. They will also be speaking to dog walk-ers to remind them of their responsibilities with regard to ‘poop scooping’ in the hope that we can improve the situation in a positive way without the need for fines.

If you want to help by fixing posters along dog walking routes then please collect some from the Spar store in Clarborough.

Lets all make an effort to stop dog fouling.

Summary of the Parish Council Meeting held on 8th January 2018

The paths Warden reported that repairs to the Lecture Room bridge were completed.

Notts. CC had been asked to help firm up the Church Farm end of FP12 and had agreed a number of maintenance items.

Howard is still restoring the hedge between the Church and Canal, help welcome.

Cllr Sutton responded to a question from the public, advising that if breaches of planning con-ditions are suspected then members of the pub-lic should inform the enforcement dept., insisting on a reply, or contact her and she would take up concerns. In response to PC concerns, about the increase in dog fouling, Cllr Sutton also ad-vised that if photographic evidence of dog fouling was presented to the dog warden, prosecutions would follow with a possible £1000 fine. Parish Cllr Gott would contact the warden to confirm what evidence would satisfy.

In her report to the PC Cllr Sutton advised that BDC had recently formed a Fly Posting pol-icy, and would bring any guidance issued to the next meeting.

Nominations for a BDC achievement award for service to the community should be made be-fore the end of January.

A Hospital review and Rural portal would be discussed at Retford on 12/02/18

County Cllr Taylor reported that a change to school holiday dates would come into effect from 2019/20 with 5 weeks in summer and 2 weeks in October.

The bid for repairs to Tiln Lane was being as-sessed along with 659 others.

Cllr Taylor was arranging a meeting with the County dept. and Cllr Gott on the matter of speeding and signage.

In response to the public forums’ concern over the lack of gritting through Hayton, she was not aware of a change in policy and would make enquiries and report back

PCSO Airey, reported that following a case on Smeath lane, we should be aware that the el-derly and vulnerable were targets for scam build-ers.

Cllr Gott had written to the school bus com-panies with regard to speeding through the vil-lage, a positive reply had been received from Kettlewells.

Gipsy Field is registered land , the PC re-solved that the clerk should write to the local res-ident, who claimed a ROW, asking for any ev-idence he may have which would help the PC come to a decision.

The planning application to build an equine dental practice had been refused, it was expect-ed that a revised submission or an appeal would follow.

Cllr Otter had uncovered a number of Bird Boxes to be erected and arranged for the clear-ance of brambles from the Millenium Field, three oak trees had been planted here as drainage is better than Church Lane and hedge work had been started.

A number of Budget items were agreed, play equipment was to be serviced, the village news-letter required a contingency allowance of £250 and legal fees in connection with the playing field registration, these would increase the requested Parish Precept.

Horses For Courses

They say you shouldn’t believe all you read in the newspapers and a recent report certainly makes you wonder.

It appears that some police forces are to re-cruit children as mini police also dog walkers, criminals and prostitutes in a cut price effort to fight terrorism and other crimes, (don’t laugh it’s true.)

It seems that the massive burden of bureau-cracy is soaking up the funds and severely weak-ening the police doing their job, so the govern-ment have sanctioned sending in the crazy gang to sort it out.

I have believed for some time that a mafia style organisation is running our country, for the state we are in couldn’t be worse.

There are those who would say that all po-lice officers should be six feet plus, weigh at least thirteen stone, have a decent education, be paid double what they are paid now and be paid a bonus on every crook they catch, but due to the politically correct brigade this will be more ludi-crous than the mini police, the embryonic stasi.

What kind of government can be trusted that enters a donkey in the Grand National, cynical-ly expecting punters to be stupid enough to put their money on it.

Paths Update

Many people, particularly walkers, will have seen the recent damage caused to Meadow Lane by irresponsible 4 x 4 off roaders. The very wet weather has created a fragile surface easily churned up by vehicles.

For those not familiar with the Public Rights of Way network, Meadow Lane runs from the western end of Church Lane across to Scotter Lane. Meadow Lane is a byway [Byway No 15] which means it is a highway open to all vehicles that are appropriately taxed and insured.

I have held discussions with Nottingham County Council officials to explore a solution to the problem.

Gardening Tips

Some of you will have seen Monty Don’s re-cent programme on Byzantine and Mughal gar-dens and I found it especially inspiring having recently visited many of the same sites in India. The Mughal dynasty started with Babur who orig-inated in Mongolia and had embraced Turkic and Persian cultures before capturing Kabul in 1504. He then invaded North India in 1526, occupying Delhi and Agra. He brought a love of gardening, the passion continuing with his son, Humayun, and Grandson, Akbar. He wrote a meticulous ac-count of the trees and other plants found in India. He loved exotic fruits, importing some such as melons from other parts of Asia and even export-ing some. Horticulture became a major source of income and fruit cultivation was exempted from tax. There were harsh penalties for anyone who damaged plants.

There are records of palace gardens in Hindu literature from the 4th century BC and there are many subsequent depictions of exotic gardens in Hindu and Buddhist paintings, stories and poems, some having elaborate water features. What characterised Mughal gardens is that they were all enclosed by walls and laid out with elab-orate geometric patterns and water channels that provided irrigation. They contained magnificent buildings, some housing tombs, the Taj Mahal being the outstanding example. Many are forts, some serving as royal palaces with separate sec-tions for the different queens. Separate parts of the garden were used for flowers and herbs, veg-etables and fruit trees, the latter providing wel-come shade as well as produce. Gardening ex-perts were brought in from Central Asia, research was carried out, new varieties were produced and grafting was practiced.

The British occupation led to some English additions including lawns and flower borders. Sir Edward Lutyens, an architect who deigned many English gardens, country houses, public

buildings and war memorials (including the Cen-otaph), was instrumental in the layout of New Delhi. His greatest achievement in Delhi was the Presidents Palace and its magnificent gardens that are open to the public only in February and March. Asian gardens were designed to create a paradise, instilling peace, appealing to the senses, and uplifting the spirit. There are very few examples of Indian style gardens created in England whilst they became common in China. Sezincote in the Cotswolds is a notable example and is open to the public. However, many of our own gardens create a similar atmosphere, bring-ing health benefits whether from just walking in those we visit or from more active involvement at home.

With snowdrops in flower and other bulbs shooting, it is now looking quite Springlike. I have seen flowers on camellias, japonica and Hebe shrubs and some perennials are already show-ing green shoots, Beds can be tidied up by re-moving dead stalks and flower heads, removing weeds, self sown saplings and unwanted seed-lings such as forget-me-nots. It is a good time to prune roses apart from ramblers and cutting back hard will produce the most vigorous growth, Cut just above outward facing buds and remove crowded stems especially if crossing and rub-bing. Remove twiggy and dead stems down to a healthy bud. Loppers will be needed for thicker stems. Buddleias can be cut back drastically and so can late flowering clematis. Winter flowering heathers should be trimmed and jasmine pruned once flowers are over. Broad beans can be sown now and lilies planted in pots. Cover rhubarb with a bucket to produce delicious tender stems and plant new clumps. It is worth turning compost heaps now to get surface material that has not decomposed into the middle. Alternatively, it can be transferred to an adjacent heap that is being built up or placed in the bottom of a trench where runner beans are to planted. The rotted material can then be spread on beds and vegetable plots straight away.

can.Taking these kind of simple measures will de-

ter the opportunist thieves out there and could stop you becoming a victim of crime.

It is at this time of the year, and on-going into the summer months, that shed and out building breaks become more frequent again. Equipment, and tools, that are stored in these outside plac-es start to become very attractive once more to criminals. It is far easier for criminals to sell on these types of items at this time of the year, as demand increases when the gardening season has commenced.

All three village stores on the beat area, at Clarborough, North Leverton and South Wheat-ley, have a stock of “No uninvited callers” stick-ers which are available free of charge.

They, too, have a limited number of UV prop-erty marking pens to give away. These are used by householders to mark personal property and are very helpful in finding properties rightful own-ers should the same be recovered by the Police. Small quantities of 24 hour segment timers are also available – these, too, are free of charge.

Please continue to report suspicious persons, vehicles and activity in your area to our control room on 101, for non-urgent calls, or 999 as ap-propriate. Calls of this nature are important, do make a difference and help to reduce crime fig-ures further.

My contact number is:- 07525 226838and my email address is:-david.airey@nottinghamshire.pnn.police.ukPC 3258 Jason Fellows is the beat manager for this area, his contact number is:-07525 226893 and his email address is:-jason.fellows@nottinghamshire.pnn.police.ukThese phone numbers and email addresses

Theft from Shop (1) at North LevertonTheft Other (1) at Sturton le Steeple and(1) at ClarboroughCriminal Damage Other (1) at WisetonAlthough this report is being completed when

we are often greeted with fog and icy condi-tions in the mornings, I am sure the gardeners amongst you will be itching to get out there and set about repairing the damage caused by the winter in general. It will not be long before the spring planting kicks in as well.

With this in mind, I would ask you to make sure you lock away all of your tools after garden-ing. Not only are they vulnerable to thieves, but if they are left outside they could be used to break into or cause damage to your homes, garages and sheds.

So while you might not be too bothered if someone steals that rusty old spade from your back garden, remember that the same spade could be used by a burglar to force open a door or window to your, or your neighbour’s property.

You should be trying to stop people getting into your back garden altogether by locking gates, and always make sure that your garag-es and sheds are locked, secured and ideally alarmed. Your front garden should not provide cover for a burglar. Hedges, or fences, at the front of your home should be limited to one metre high. At the rear of your property, hedges, fenc-es or walls should ideally be at least 1.8 metres high. Gates leading to the rear of your property should be the same height.

Move ladders, tables, chairs and wheelie bins or padlock them to a strong anchor point.

If your shed has a window, make sure that it is frosted glass or has a curtain over it so people cannot see what is inside. Mark your tools with your postcode and house numbering more than one place, preferably by scratching into the met-al or wood. Their value to a thief will be reduced if they are permanently marked in some way. Try and chain tools and bicycles together, and chain them to a structure of the shed or garage if you
