Loveden Festival Singers in Fine

Voice at St Vincent’s

The Loveden Festival Singers performed

their final concert of the summer at St

Vincent’s church on 17th July. Their

repertoire was varied and included pieces

by Handel, Mendelssohn and Rutter,

medleys from Oklahoma and My Fair

Lady. In addition we heard three Negro

spiritual songs,. Three of their soloists

sang I’ll Never Find Another You,

Morningtown Ride, Puff the Magic

Dragon, Summertime and Sometimes

When we Touch; something for everyone!

Delicious refreshments were provided by

members at the interval.

All were thanked by musical director,

Stuart Freshney for their hard work and in

particular Robbie Squire who performed

two excellent piano pieces. He empha-

sised how fortunate they were to have her

as their accompanist. He bade farewell to

Carolyn and Victor Snaith whose last

performance it

was and wished

them luck as

they leave

Caythorpe. He

concluded by

inviting anyone

who would like

to join the singers. They will be most wel-

come; their next rehearsal will be the start

of the Christmas music!

The evening ended

with a lovely

rendition of “When

Irish Eyes are

Smiling”, a

particular favourite

of mine as I was

born near Galway

and often sang this with my parents when

growing up.

From Sonia Barron

Rural Dean of Loveden

Count your blessings!

At the time of writing we have been

having lovely weather, lots of sunshine and

blue skies, which always makes people

more cheerful and positive. So I thought I

would use this issue to tell a story which

encourages us to be thankful despite our

difficulties and challenges.

Some may know this old hymn but not the

story behind it, here is the first verse:

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to

say

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:

It is well, (it is well),

With my soul, (with my soul)

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

The words of this hymn were written by an

American lawyer, Horatio Spafford,

following a very difficult period in his life.

In 1871 the Great Chicago Fire brought

financial ruin to him as he had invested in

a lot of property in the particular area of

Chicago that was damaged by the fire.

Then in 1873 he was further affected by

the economic downturn.

That same year he and his family were due

to travel to Europe together but he changed

his plans at the last minute and sent them

on ahead of him because he needed to sort

out some business problems resulting from

the Great Chicago fire.

While his family were crossing the

Atlantic, their ship sank after a collision

with another vessel and Spafford’s four

daughters died, though his wife survived.

It was while travelling to meet his grieving

wife that he was inspired to write the

words of this hymn.

Whatever we may

be facing in the

months ahead I

pray that God

may show us even

the smallest thing

that we can be

grateful for.

Baking Bread at the WI

Our July meeting was held on a very warm summer evening made even warmer by the

ovens in the village hall kitchen being turned on to their highest setting. They were

shortly to be filled with twenty-two mini loaves of hand-made bread. The dough

instantly absorbs the heat and makes the temperature

drop, hence the need for a high oven temperature.

This was one of the top tips given to us by our guest

speaker Peter Welbourn (retired) of Navenby bakery

who made a washing up bowl (yes) full of bread dough

and whilst it “proved” he spoke amusingly about his

time as a baker and how much things changed over

those years, but the basic way to make bread has not

changed at all. He recommended that we made bread when we are feeling angry or

annoyed as the kneading process requires all of the air being “knocked” out of the

dough! We all took a delicious warm loaf home with us.

President, Janet Hoddell told us of the new project for the Associated Country Women

of the World for which we raise money each year. This year we are to assist needy

people in the Cameroon by “changing mentalities and empowering groups”. Pauline

Dorey, our treasurer, showed us the photograph of “Women in the Workplace” which

she entered in a competition at the Lincolnshire Show and came second; it depicted the

only woman currently working on the shop floor of a Lincoln engineering company.

The 13th August meeting is to be held in the garden of Cobblers Rise where we will

“Bring and Share” a picnic with host Ann Russell. We plan to start around 2pm and

finish at 4.30pm, please bring a chair and cutlery etc., as you would for a picnic. Any

garden sized games would be fun too, Jenga, quoits, dominoes, pick up sticks and the

like, if you have them to bring. In the event of rain we will use the village hall instead.

Please note that the 10th September meeting, which is a

Harvest Supper is at FULBECK VILLAGE HALL. Susan Case

Congestion in Caythorpe

Sir - Recently John Scott, a lifelong

village resident, raised in News and Views

the subject of the Parish Council’s failure

to address the congestion in Caythorpe

High Street. As the longest-serving Parish

Councillor, I would like to inform

residents of the Council’s approach to the

views he has expressed.

The High Street evolved in the horse era

and now deals with a four-fold increase in

village size and with motor vehicles.

There are homes with no off-road parking,

a School, a Sure Start Centre and a

Playgroup totalling up to 30+ staff

members and their associated vehicles.

There are customers at the shop together

with users of the Village Hall. Now throw

into the mix the buses and delivery lorries

- this is the reality of the 2015 High Street.

Are yellow lines the answer with their

draconian fines for non-compliance?

Some years ago the Council and the

Highway Authority produced such a plan

to restrict parking. After some discussion,

this idea was shelved for the following

reasons:

Parking restrictions would result in the

displacement of large numbers of vehicles.

To where? Further up and down the High

Street, to Back Lane or to South Parade?

In school hours, a long line of vehicles

would stretch from Arnhem Drive to the

Waggon and Horses? There would be

nowhere for other vehicles to pass without

encroaching onto grass verges and

pavements. High Street residents would (Cont’d on page 11)


Cont’d from page 10

find difficulty parking near to their homes.

In addition the viability of our village shop

would be affected.

In 30 years the village has lost two

butchers, Askey’s Mini Market, Margaret

Richard’s Hairdressers and the Co-op.

The Post Office is currently up for sale.

Their may be an opportunity for this to

move to the Spar Stores.

It is, therefore, vital that the viability of

the shop is protected together with

consideration for the plight of residents

with no off-road parking.

Yellow lines would increase traffic speeds

with the associated safety implications.

The Parish Council has enlisted the

co-operation of the School, the Sure Start

Centre and the Village Hall urging their

employees, and visitors to park without

causing obstruction to the free flow of

traffic. All these organisations are co-

operative and fully aware of the problem.

There is a school staff car park with an

entrance into Back Lane. It was badly

designed as it only provides five parking

places. By removing the high kerb and the

grass within the fenced-off area, more

spaces could be provided without taking

any of the children’s play area. Possibly,

herring-bone parking places could be

created by the school’s perimeter fence.

However, Back Lane is a single width

road without pavement, footway or

lighting. In addition, could the staff be

expected to walk out onto Back Lane on

dark ,winter afternoons and evenings in

bad weather? Of course, there is also the

question of cost and who is going to pay.

Both the Council and the Highways

Authority have discussed the provision of

lay-bys to allow the children to be

dropped-off and collected.

The council contacted Stagecoach

requesting details of vehicles causing

obstructions to the No 1 bus route. They

suggested liaison with the police and both

PC Nick Smith and PSO Babs Mooney

have been informed.

The matter of parking on the High Street is

on the agenda (again) at the next Parish

Council Meeting on Wednesday 9th

September when all the issues will be

discussed and opinions given. Parishion-

ers are most welcome to attend.

Appeal for new committee members for

Caythorpe Preschool

Caythorpe Preschool needs new volunteers to take roles on the charity’s management

committee.

The busy Pre-School has been in operation since 1987 when it ran from the village hall

with just 4 members of staff.

Today it has its own dedicated premises attached to the school and employs 7 mem-

bers of staff and cares for 28 children.

Without an active committee Caythorpe Preschool will not be able to operate; we are

therefore appealing for members of the local community to join the team to ensure the

preschool continues to provide a valuable service to the families in Caythorpe and the

surrounding villages.

To be involved, you do not need to have young children. We need people who can

devote a minimum of 5 hours a month to attend meetings and carry out their duties. In

particular we need people with accounting, finance and HR skills and administrative

and/or fundraising experience.

If you are interested in joining the committee or would like to find out more please

contact Colette Linforth [email protected] or Debbie Pinfold caythorpepre-

The 1st Caythorpe Brownies

As we end our summer term the 1st Caythorpe Brownies have had a very full and

varied programme. A few examples of activities include completing the Water Safety

badge, finishing our Friends to Animal badge, church cleaning

and a trip to see Disney on Ice.

At the end of the term the Brownies performed their entertain-

ment evening for parents and leaders. As a treat on the final night

we took the Brownies bowling which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

In September we will have places available for new children to

join or to go on the waiting list. So if anyone is interested in

joining (ages 7 – 10) please contact Denise Lyon on

01400 273391 or email [email protected].

Below you can see a poem one of the Brownies wrote for her entertainment evening

performance:

We are the Brownies happy and strong, we don’t do anything wrong,

We think of others before ourselves and clean the dust off the shelves,

We have Brownie songs in our head and always, always make our bed,

Remember Brownies don’t do pranks.

We have loads of Brownie laws and have loads of chores;

Discover our adventures out to see and someday you’ll be like me

Ramblings of the Old Rector

As the Hon. Chaplain of the Bomber Command Association, the 28th June saw me tak-

ing the annual Act of Remembrance at the Bomber Command Memorial in The Green

Park, London, as I have done every year since HM The Queen unveiled it on 28 June

2012.

Every year about 200 veterans of the bombing offensive against the Nazi regime return

with their families to remember their old comrades, and Joy and I greet them now as

old friends. Jim Dooley (of The Dooleys), who worked so hard with Robin Gibb (of the

Bee Gees) to raise the enormous sum of money required for the memorial, attends each

year. As does the architect, Liam O’Connor, and the sculptor, Philip Jackson. Their

age dictates that some of these frail

old men now find it difficult to pull

the skin off a rice pudding, but in their

youth they flew Lancaster and Halifax

aircraft through the flak-bursting skies

over the Ruhr and elsewhere in

occupied Europe. I am proud to be

their chaplain.

When I am not involved with young

people, either at Sir William Robert-

son Academy or with Air Cadets in

No.3 Welsh Wing, I spend much time

with the retired Air Force. The 8th

August will see me nearer home; I

shall be officiating at the dedication of

a headstone on the grave of a pilot who crashed on that day in, 1923, near Grantham

having taken off from RAF Grantham – later RAF Spitalgate.

Having survived the First World War as a soldier, receiving a commission in 1917,

Robin Jacques was promoted to the acting rank of Captain in 1919. Despite playing

centre-forward for the Army, he was transferred to the reserve when the Army ‘down-

sized’ in 1922. The following year he was awarded a Short Service Commission in the

RAF, in the rank of Flying Officer, and he signed for Fulham FC.

Sadly he never played for them, because while he was undergoing flying training at

RAF Grantham, with only 30 flying hours under his belt, his Avro 504K crashed near

Old Somerby ten minutes after taking off. His wife and children, a boy aged about four

and a little baby girl aged 18 months, lived at the Red Lion, Newton, on the A52.

They returned at once to London. The little girl, Hattie, who never knew her Dad, was

to become a famous actress.

Robin Jacques was buried in Grantham Cemetery, but his grave was never marked with

a headstone. That will be remedied on 8th August.

Visit to Village Churches

On behalf of the Church and Walk Group of Grantham U3A ( The University of the

Third Age) we were asked to arrange a morning visit to our local Churches.

We decided to visit the churches of Carlton

Scroop and Normanton-on-Cliffe and we asked

Brian Lucas

to be our

guide. We

also asked

Liz Naeem

whether she

would give

a guided

tour of the

lovely wild flower churchyard at Carlton

Scroop. It was a very successful morning,

enjoyed by everyone and we have received many

favourable comments. The photographs are just

a taste of our morning.

A Fun-filled evening with Cliff ‘n’ Chips

The Women’s Institute dull and boring! Absolutely not

and that can be confirmed by all of those in attendance on

27th June at our fund raising Fish and Chip supper.

What a surprising and fun filled evening we all had with

guests laughing, singing and dancing between the tables.

The evening was run by Andy Lloyd and his family (of

Island Truffles and Treats) from Horbury Bridge in West

Yorkshire. They came equipped with everything they

needed to feed and entertain us and began the evening

with a demonstration of how to make brandy and Belgian

chocolate truffles. Andy did this in his natural comedic

style and had us

all laughing out loud.

Once this was over, his team produced plates

of delicious and hot fish and chips which we

ate with gusto. Tables were cleared quickly

and Andy then came around to every table for

us to take an absolutely delicious chocolate

truffle as our dessert.

(Cont’d on next page)


Deliveries can be made between 9.00am and 7.00pm

(Cont’d from previous page) Dancing to the Bee Gees

Whilst Andy “changed”, President, Janet Hoddell drew the raffle and thanked the

members and guests who had provided over twenty prizes for us. Then, the versatility

of this man, Andy, came to the fore; he had a fantastic singing voice with which we

were entertained with songs from the fifties and sixties as well as other classics.

Members couldn’t keep still with feet tapping and eventually took to the floor dancing

to the music. We then sat and rolled with laughter with his Bee Gee

impression complete with wig and

sunglasses.

Who would have thought that this

unusual combination of entertain-

ment would work? But work it did

and a fantastic evening was had by

all, I don’t think it will be the last

time we will see him either, so

watch this space!

Grateful thanks must go to mem-

bers who came in the morning to

set up the tables, table flowers and

also, to Carlton Scroop village hall for the loan of their water jugs and vases.

Angela Turner, secretary, arranged it all enabling the members to enjoy the evening

without any of the hard work. Thank you Angela. Sue Case

Carlton-le-Moorland and

District Art Group

Despite there being a “Summer Lull” in

demonstrations and workshops arranged

by Carlton-le-Moorland and District Art

Group members are hard at work

preparing work for the Club’s Exhibition

to be held later this year. (Do note the

dates in your diary: Saturday 10th October

and Sunday 11th October)

There are two demonstrations arranged

for later in the year and being given by

exceptionally fine artists. Haidee-Jo

Summers, whose subject will be “Portraits

in Oil”, and Ian Risley who will be

demonstrating “Landscape in Pastel”. Do

check out their web sites to see the quality

of the work they produce. Both of these

events are, like all our demonstrations and

workshops, held on a Saturday and open

to members and to visitors who are

always welcome.

The Club’s Thursday “Painting Morn-

ings” are continuing throughout the

summer in Carlton-le-Moorland Village

Hall between 10.00a.m. and 1.00p.m.

with members meeting up informally to

paint and draw.

Rather than wait until the exhibition or for

the demonstrations later in the year

prospective members are welcome to call

in on a Thursday to see the Club in action.

Alternatively details of all club activities,

dates etc. are available on the Club Web

site www.carltonlemoorlandartgroup@blo

TRIPS to Clumber Park, Hunstanton, London and Frieston

Recently, the whole school have enjoyed several different trips,

including residential trips and a whole-school trip to Clumber Park.

Here is a summary of what we’ve been up to!

Clumber Park

The whole school went to visit

Clumber Park on the 14th of July.

We went for a treat for doing brilliant at collecting

our gold bars. Key Stage Two did orienteering

which involved reading a map and walking through

woods and searching for clues. Year five/six played

a game of cricket before everything started and the

teachers also joined in. Reception played in a woodland park and then happily made

dens in the woods. We also went in the walled kitchen garden and saw many differ-

ent plants and fruit and even saw talking rhubarb! We had lots of fun and enjoyed

the day out in the woods.

Hunstanton Y1/2 went to Hunstanton for two days and they went

to the sea life centre. They saw lots of different kind of

fish. After that they went to the seaside and paddled in

the sea. They stopped off at the fish and chip shop for

tea. Amazingly they slept in a room where there was

glass around them so when they slept they could look

up and see colourful fish and daring sharks.

London Year five and six went to Lon-

don. We went on the London

Eye, visited the Natural History

and Science museums, took a

boat cruise along the River

Thames and watched the Lion

King! At night we went to sleep in a Premier Inn

which was very exciting. We had a very busy two

days enjoying some of London’s best attractions.

Frieston

Year three and four went to Frieston. They did a scav-

enger hunt, a river investigation day, a blind-folded

obstacle course and had a campfire with roasted marsh-

mallows.

They slept in Frieston residential centre for two nights

and had a great action-packed trip!

Written by Reanne, Ruby and Hannah (Year 5)


SPORTS DAY

On Tuesday 23rd June, we had an awesome sports day. Miss

Beanland organised a new format for sports day this year to make

there less sitting around

waiting and more activities

and having fun. We had lots

of new events this year: the

speed bounce, the long jump, the sit down

throw, the long run and even Welly Wanging!

We still had the sack race, sprint and hurdles.

We had lots more activities.

We also had new sports day teams based on

the 5 Olympic Rings and the five continents –

Asia, Africa, Europe, America and Oceania.

The team that came third was Oceania, the team that came second was Asia and the

team that came first was Africa. At the end of an amazing day, we had a whole

school relay!

Written by Cleo (Year 5)

Caythorpe and District Garden Society

The summer social was held in the beautiful Fulbeck garden of two of our members.

The evening was cloudy, but warm and dry, so we all had a chance to walk round the

extensive garden and admire the well tended and often unusual plants featured.

Although not formally divided into ‘rooms’ the space is broken up by mature borders

containing trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials, and winding paths lead the

visitor between the different areas. The beck runs through part of the garden, and the

damp soil supports a good selection of large ferns and other moisture lovers. Planted

pots, sculptures and topiary add to the interest of this much admired garden. We also

had an enjoyable buffet, with food brought by members and wine provided by the

society, to round off a perfect evening. Our grateful thanks to our hosts, and to the

members who organised the buffet.

The August meeting will be in Carlton Scroop village hall on Tuesday 11th August

at 7:30pm. Ian Cooke will speak on ‘So very versatile perennials’. Visitors (£3) will

be most welcome. Just come along.

Caythorpe Show

The show will be held on Saturday 22nd August in Caythorpe Village Hall. Anyone

may enter, and there are classes for garden produce, cookery, handicrafts and

photography. Schedules are available from the Spar Shop and the Post Office in

Caythorpe, Belton Garden Centre, Fulbeck Crafts and Leadenham Farm Shop.

Set up and judging take place in the morning, and doors open for viewing and cream

teas at 2 pm.


News from Sir William Robertson Academy

So many villagers have expressed delight that Sir William Robertson Academy,

Welbourn, known to us affectionately as “Will Rob”, has recently had a “Good”

Ofsted inspection, that I thought I would let you know what the inspectors said.

They were in the school for two whole days; they observed lessons, spoke with the

pupils and teachers, and went into every department. The Lead Inspector also had a

session with some of the governors, to ensure that we were well-informed about the

standard of teaching and learning throughout the Academy. They concluded that the

school was “Good” in every area, and bordering on “Outstanding” in some. The four

inspectors considered that the wide range of subjects taught captured students’ interests

and ensured they enjoyed all the

courses they follow. They thought

that the academy uses educational

visits to places like Berlin and

Castle Acre, as well as residential

trips, inter-house sporting

competitions and cultural visits to

the theatre, very effectively to

enhance students’ learning.

They saw for themselves that the

governors value good teaching and

monitor the quality of teaching, and

support the Head teacher in tack-

ling underperformance. They

agreed that governors manage the

Head teacher’s performance

closely, linking targets to the academy’s improvement plan. They noted that staff

targets are linked to students’ progress and good teaching. It will come as no surprise

to villagers that they found that the behaviour of students is good. They said the stu-

dents have positive attitudes to learning, take pride in their appearance and cooperate

well with adults. Furthermore, in class, students listen politely to teachers and to one

another; and engage with teachers’ questions and contribute sensible answers.

With regard to the sixth form they reported that the academy’s provision of good,

impartial careers advice helps our senior students to plan their futures, so that virtually

all students progress to higher education, employment or training. They reported that

the vast majority of students have high aspirations, and that an increasing proportion

goes on to study at Russell Group universities. Considering that this is only the end of

the third year of the sixth form’s existence, that is high praise indeed.

I must say that I always enjoy being in the Academy, whether it is with the teaching

staff or signing cheques in the finance department, but most of all when I meet and chat

with the pupils.

The Venerable Brian Lucas

Parish Council News…..August 2015

Co-option to the Parish Council……I am pleased to be able to report that we have

filled the three vacancies and have co-opted Rachel Mountain, Karen Bailey and Mike

Budden; their contact details will be shown in the September edition. I would like to

thank the other four residents who took the time and trouble to put their names forward

for co-option.

Parish Council grants …..The meeting held on July 8th agreed that grants of £3,000

should be given to both the Village Hall and to the Playing Fields. This is in

recognition of the excellent way that both organisations are run and managed.

Parking on pavements…..Residents are reminded not to park their vehicles partially

or fully on footpaths and pavements. This causes considerable problems for those who

are partially sighted and in particular for one resident whose guide dog refuses to take

its owner pass such obstructions. This also causes problems for those with prams and

pushchairs.

Dog fouling …..This anti social behaviour continues to cause concern. We will be

distributing leaflets to all households shortly reminding dog owners of their responsi-

bilities and the fine of £75 that can be issued by an Authorised Officer for any one not

clearing up after their animal. In addition there will be contact details if residents wish

to report an incidence of dog fouling.

Grants for community projects…..The Parish Council sets aside a sum each year for

the making of grants to organisations where it can be demonstrated that a particular

project will be of benefit to the community. If you would like further details with

regard to this please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Clerk.

Contacting the Parish Council…..If there are any issues over which you may have

concerns and which fall within the remit of the Parish Council please do not hesitate to

contact either the Parish Clerk and or any of the above Councillors.

Caythorpe Cricket News

July has been another very busy month for all of Caythorpe's Cricket Teams, with some

superb Cricket being played at all age levels and with very favourable results!

Currently the Senior Xl are joint leaders of Division 2 of the Sills & Betteridge Lincoln

League and looking favourites for promotion. Boston were defeated by 62 runs.

Caythorpe batted first and progressed to 169 all out, with Luke Endley top-scoring with

41, followed by James King with 34. Boston were dismissed for 107 in just 23 overs.

Dan Pinfold had the most success with the ball, taking 5 wickets for 42 runs whilst

Nick White took 4 for 20.

We then collected full points without playing against North Scarle as they conceded

due to shortage of players.

The next match was a very low scoring affair, with Caythorpe, batting first, only scor-

ing 91 runs, Andy Wilson with 22 and Rob Pealing (29) being our only batsmen to

reach double figures. Feeling downhearted going out to field Caythorpe's spirits

quickly rose again thanks to some fantastic bowling by Luke Endley. Luke took 8

wickets for just 9 runs, the second best bowling performance ever in the Lincoln

League. Most of his victims were cleaned bowled, the stumps regularly cart-wheeling

out of the ground. Dan Pinfold picked up the other two wickets as Hartsholme scored

only 29 runs.

Caythorpe's Under 9's continued their winning ways, defeating Cherry Willingham and

Collingham, to remain joint leaders of their League. By the time this appears they will

have played Bracebridge Heath in a game that could decide the title. Two games have

been rained off, but we are trying to reschedule them. Most of the 25 players who have

been training on Friday nights have now played in a match, even those as young as

five and six, so the future of the Club looks assured! Eight girls are in this Group of

whom two, Lotte Wells and Andrea Kiddle, have progressed to play for Lincolnshire.

Several parents have stepped forward to assist and are waiting for the next available

ECB Coaching Courses to look after this Team as they move up the age groups.

Our Under 10's have played three matches, defeating Woodhall Spa but losing to Gran-

tham and Hartsholme in close-fought games. In each we were just 10 runs short of vic-

tory. This team is now looking quite confident about playing with a hard ball and some

are surely destined to progress to County level.

The Under 11's have played another 4 games and have won two, against Boston and

Grantham, but lost to Collingham and Sleaford. This age-group has had difficulty field-

ing 11 players at times due to other calls on the youngster's time. School trips, plays,

parent's evenings, Scout camps, all taking their toll. Fortunately the Managers could

draft in Under 10's who performed very well at this higher level when necessary so no

games had to be forfeited showing the Club's strength in depth. like the Under 10's this

Team is in the top half of their League Table. Moving up to the Under 13's we can

report on yet more success. Currently second in their League Caythorpe have beaten

Barkston, Bracebridge Heath (twice), Boston and Sleaford (twice) in a busy schedule

which has seen them playing twice a week. (Cont’d on Page 31)


(Cont’d from page 30) Caythorpe Cricket Club

Caythorpe's Under 15's are at present leading the Lincoln Under 15 League having re-

cently defeated Boston, Bracebridge Heath and Grantham (twice).

As we approach the Summer

Holidays we come to the

end of the Junior Season and

only a few re-arranged

games remain to be played.

In all over seventy young-

sters have represented Cay-

thorpe this year and we hope

they will all continue enjoy-

ing the healthy benefits that

playing the sport can bring

in future years. Our Annual

Presentation night will be on

Friday September 11th when

the Hammond Pavilion and

marquee will be packed

with youngsters to celebrate

their achievements and en-

joy a famous

Caythorpe BBQ and food-

fest!

Finally, a mention of the Pop Endley Memorial Day. This will be a whole day of fun,

featuring the usual game between the current Caythorpe Senior Team and an Eleven

selected by Steve and Luke Endley. During the lunch interval there will be a game

featuring our Under 10s and 11s (and possibly a few Under 9s!)

I stayed up all night to see

where the sun went ....

... then it dawned on me.


On Saturday, 18th July, Caythorpe Playing Field saw the start of the first ever Very

Amazing Pink Ribbon Race and produced some

extraordinary sights! Our Member of Parliament,

Stephen Phillips, came along to help start things off

and got a bit of a surprise because he hadn’t been

warned that as part of a selfie challenge participants

needed to try and get a photo with him, preferably

on a spacehopper.

He

certainly

entered

into the

spirit of

things, and is shown here with team

Walking Wounded, when we think he may be

exercising parliamentary privilege.

Weather for the day was perfect and with the

council having undertaken some essential

clearance on footpaths along the route, those who were walking were able to enjoy our

beautiful countryside without being stung by nettles.

The event will have raised about £5,000 for Breast Cancer Now, the charity newly

formed from the merger of

Breast Cancer Campaign and

Breakthrough Breast Cancer,

which will go towards vital

research in support of their aim

that no-one need die from this

disease by 2050.

With participation by Sudbrook

Moor Golf Club, Syston Fruit

Farm, Chandlers Mitsubishi,

Belton Garden Centre,

Maidenhead Aquatics and

Grantham Tennis Club, and

support from businesses including The Red Lion, The Brownlow Arms, The Hare and

Hounds, The Bell at Coleby, Moy Park, Equilibrium Gym at GTC, Grantham Bowl,

and Grantham Fun Farm this truly was an excellent local effort.

Participants enjoyed a barbecue and more at Grantham Tennis Club during the after-

noon, and plans are already afoot for something bigger and better in 2016. (See more photos on the back page - Ed)

Parish Council News July 2015

A Parish Council meeting was held on the 8th July 2015.

Mrs Kaberry-Brown introduced herself as the new District Councillor representing the

area that includes Carlton Scroop and Normanton on Cliffe. She explained that she sat

on the Planning committee and would look to support the Parish Council in any issues

that they may have.

An update was given regarding the appeal against the refusal to grant planning permis-

sion for the wind turbine in Carlton Scroop.

Parish Clerk Vacancy

The Chairman reported that there had been an expression of interest in the post and

interviews had taken place on the 29th July 2015 and as a result a new clerk (Mr Adrian

Illingworth) had been offered the position which he had accepted.

Aims and Targets

The Chairman explained that the Parish Plan which had been written in 2008 was now

out of date and needed revising. The plan would detail what the Parish Council hoped

to achieve in the next five years, however he stressed that it was important that the

views of the residents was vital in this process. If any resident of Carlton Scroop or

Normanton would like to discuss this please contact the Chairman.

Other Matters

It was reported that most of the footpaths which had been reported as blocked had now

been cleared, however one still remained blocked.

The next meeting of the Parish Council would be on Monday 7th September 2015 at

7:30 p.m.

Parish Plan Review

Operating independently of the Caythorpe and Frieston

Parish Council, a parish plan review group has been

formed to begin a series of consultations with local

people and businesses. Review group members are Jo

Russell, Jean Nelson, Tom Mountain, David Cree, Rob

Cook, Gordon Grant (chair) and Andrea Smith (clerk to

parish council, ex officio).

Youngsters from the village school have already been

involved in a series of projects, gathering information

about the community (housing, playing field, roads,

businesses, environment) and surveying each other, to

establish their views about what kind of community they

would like to see now and in the future. They have

produced some wonderful posters and displays which

you will be able to see at the Gala on the Playing Field

on Saturday 5 September. At the Gala you will also be

able to record your own views about community needs

and resources (there will be a dedicated parish review

stall). So please do come along.

There are plans to consult with community groups and

businesses and also to distribute a household question-

naire later in the year. Keep watching these pages.

July Sudoku Solution

Oh, a wondrous bird is the pelican!

His beak holds more than his belican.

He takes in his beak food enough for a week.

But I’ll be darned if I know how the helican.

In and Around the Garden

What a difference a week can make. I went away for a few days at the beginning of

July, and the hot weather had transformed the garden when I returned. All the brash

and bold stars of the high summer garden had begun to flower in shades of yellow,

orange, red and mauve. One plant that has rather surprised me is the unpronounce-

able Dianthus carthusianorum, a relative of the carnations and pinks. I acquired a

small plant 18 months ago, attracted by its blue green foliage and tall stem topped

with 3 or 4 tiny bright magenta flowers. This year it has sent out dozens of stems,

making a wonderful airy and long lasting display in one of the driest, stoniest parts of

the garden. A lucky find.

The insects are out in force; I have never seen so

many pollen beetles before. They always

appear in the garden after the oil-seed rape stops

flowering, and they definitely have a preference

for yellow and white flowers, but this year there

seem to be more than usual. Out of curiosity I

plucked a single-flowered yellow dahlia and

counted 146 of them in this one bloom alone.

So be careful if you smell a white rose – you

may inhale more than just its perfume!

A neighbour has reported a family of spotted

flycatchers in his garden. They have set up

home in a climbing hydrangea and have raised

two broods. These small brown birds are easily

identified by their habit of perching on a

conspicuous twig waiting for an insect to come

near. They then fly out and grab it in flight, and

using wings and tail as air brakes, turn on the

spot to fly back to their look-out post. They over-winter in Africa, returning in late

spring to breed; with all the concern over declining bird numbers it is pleasing to find

them doing well in Caythorpe.

Renewable Energy

September 18th was a critical date in many people’s minds, so it was with

much relief that we learned in July, before this six month expiry date in

September, that RWE, would not be appealing the SKDC Planning Refusal for

the five Wind Turbines at Temple Hill, Brandon.

The downside of this news was the disappointment to learn that Energie Kon-

tor are about to submit planning applications to SKDC and NKDC for 10 wind

turbines at Fulbeck Airfield. As decided at a recent cluster meeting of Parish

Council representatives for SKDC and NKDC, it is very important that as

many of the public write to or e-mail their District Councils setting out their

own views upon such applications. The overriding message from this meeting

was “to protect our countryside and landscape character.”

Straw Storage

Remaining with Fulbeck Airfield, the agents acting for Sleaford power station

straw baled storage and transportation are believed to be soon also submitting

a planning application for change of use from agriculture “to industrial stor-

age”. This follows a long consultation period with LCC Highways concerning

large load vehicular movements along the C100 (Stragglethorpe Lane) and the

excessive deposits of straw cuttings along the gutters and verges of the A17

towards Sleaford.

Mid UK Recycling

The recent fire at Ancaster has raised again a number of concerns as to the

health and safety and management issues among the surrounding communities

close to the Caythorpe recycling site.

I can confirm that all the Emergency agencies involved in such incidents,

together with the Lincolnshire Fire Brigade, put into operation at the recent

Ancaster incident the procedures developed following the de-brief meeting

after the 2012 Caythorpe fire. In the Ancaster case, the decision was to extin-

guish the fire, which, as we all know, took almost a week to achieve, with the

local community being advised to keep all windows and doors closed through-

out this period.

In the meantime, I have asked our County Councillor, Paul Wood, to press a

case for the review of Mid UK’s “Operators Licence” with the appropriate

body in the County Council.

Summer 2015

It is the season of Parish fetes, BBQs, Open Gardens, and Flower Shows for

all to enjoy, we look forward to joining in with these forthcoming events.
