RAMTC brings you another hit show…. RAMTC are bringing another cracking show to the community this year, 9 to 5. There is still time to get your tickets and support the group by contacting Mansfield Theatre. It will be a great evening out, as it always is and if you don’t know the story, here is a brief outline below….

Set in the late 1970's, this hilarious story of friendship & revenge is outrageous, thought provoking, risqué and even a little romantic. Pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss, three female office workers concoct a plan to turn the tables on their despicable boss and transform their workplace. It’s about teaming up, standing up and taking care of business! This hilarious production is brought to you by the award winning Ripley & Alfreton Musical Theatre Company.

Slimming World Recipe

Established 1965

Burger in a bowl So, here’s an interesting idea. Let’s face it the best of the burger is the filling so why not shed the bread and fill up on the tasty part! Serves: 4

Ready in: 25 minutes

Syns per serving: 1

Ingredients:

Method: 1. Spray a large, heavy-based non-stick frying pan with lowcalorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add the beef, onion and garlic and stir-fry for 7-8 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the onions have softened. Take the pan off the heat and drain any fat from the mixture. Season lightly. 2. Meanwhile, put all the SW super sauce ingredients in a bowl with 4 tbsp water and whisk until well combined. 3. Mix together the lettuce, gherkins, onions and tomatoes and divide between 4 wide bowls. Spoon the beef mixture on top, divide the SW super sauce between the burgers and serve hot.

Book Review Circe by Madeline Miller

If you enjoyed last month’s recommendation of the Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood, you’ll love Circe by Madeline Miller. ( Kir-Keh if you’re interested in the Greek pronunciation).

Chosen as a book of the year by numerous reviewers and newspapers, the novel casts Circe, the witch goddess of Homer’s Odyssey (the one who trapped poor Odysseus on her island for a year and turned sailors into pigs) as a heroine in her own right, not just a bit player in a man’s mythic tale. If there is a similarity to the Atwood book, it is the idea of female empowerment, giving a woman the right to her own story as part of the history of women which, it might be argued, has been so often left out of official (or even literary) accounts. But it’s also a lovely, lyrical and sometimes very dark tale where the expectations of normal human morals are turned on their head. These are the stories of mortals, gods and monsters which are perfectly in tune and relevant for a modern audience. And the story is also a subtle sideways look at what it means to be a human, whether male or female.

Rated GOOD by CQC

It’s compelling and beautifully written. It educates and entertains and captivates. A brilliant joyous treat.

RATED & REPORTED: 2019 There’s nothing like being recognised for the great work we do. But don’t just take our word for it, why not book a visit and find out why the Care Quality Commission rated us GOOD for yourself.

This walk is a little further out but is worth the journey to check out a little piece of history. The Parliament Oak, which the legend says King John held an informal parliament under following a revolt by the Welsh. Now it sits in a layby off the A6075 and is about halfway around our walk. Another great ramble from David at JH Legal – what a star he is!

We begin on the outside of Warsop and follow Oakfield Lane to cross the A6075. The route then winds through a part of the historic Sherwood forest before reaching the Parliament Oak. We cross back over the A6075 and wind back through the forest before heading back through the outskirts of Warsop, back to where we

Turn left to continue along the lane. After a short distance the lane bends around to the left and a little further on the lane narrows to a footpath. At this point ignore the path to the left and continue straight ahead going through the trees. 3. Continue straight ahead for some distance and then just prior to the path bending to the right, turn left onto another footpath. Continue along this path with just a few trees and then open views to your right and woodland on your left. After some distance ignore a major path on your left and then continue for a long distance being sure to stay close to the open views on your right. 4. Continue until you reach a clearing and then at this point continue straight ahead and pass beneath some power lines. Continue straight ahead back into the trees and eventually you will reach a T junction with a tarmac lane with a metal gate just to your right. Turn left at the T junction and continue for a very short distance to a main road passing a signboard for ‘Parliament Oak’ on your left. Seals Fodder Room Ltd

4½ -mile circular walk from Warsop Oakfield via Parliament Oak A medium length walk which should take you and your dog around 2½-3 hours to complete. There are a couple of roads so please take care.

5. Cross straight over the main road and continue along a lane for a very short distance. Then turn left onto a footpath (WARNING: THIS PATH IS HARD TO SPOT) to go back into the trees. This path runs parallel with the road over to your left. After some distance you will cross over a lane with a wooden gate and the main road over to your left to continue back into the trees along a footpath running parallel with the road. 6. After some distance you will come into a clearing. Continue a little further on to reach a T junction with a lane. Turn left along the lane for a short distance and then just prior to reaching a wooden gate and a main road, turn right to continue along a footpath going through the trees running parallel with the road. Continue along this footpath for some distance until reaching a T junction of footpaths with a fence directly in front of you. Turn right to continue along a footpath going gently downhill with a fence on your left. 7. Ignoring any paths to the right continue straight ahead for some distance until reaching a clearing. Continue straight ahead passing underneath some power lines and close by to a pylon on your left. After, head back into the trees and be sure to ignore the path immediately to the right and continue straight ahead keeping, and staying close to open views on your left. 8. Continue straight ahead for quite some distance being sure to stay close to the open views on your left. Eventually you will reach a T junction of paths. Turn left and then continue straight ahead with a hedge and open views to your left. Continue straight ahead for some distance until reaching and passing underneath a railway bridge onto a road. Follow the road for a short distance to a T junction of roads and then turn left. 9. Follow this road for quite some distance until reaching another T junction of roads. Turn left and after a short distance pass underneath a railway bridge to continue back to the start/finish.

Celebrating Benso

“We decided to go to Jerry Green Do g Rescue after our last dog passed aw ay. We saw a dog we liked, his name was Benson, he was fou r years old and had hip dysplasia. We decided we would tak e him home and he set tled in really well and he gained the nic kname ‘Street Dog’ as everyone knew him when we walked down the street. Benson loved to tra vel and he was alw the car, especially ays the first one in if we were going to to Cornwall and he see my Mum, Joanie even walked with us . He loved going to the top of Snowd Wales! As he got old on, the highest mount er and his legs got we ain in ake r, we bought him a dog to sit in when he’d had buggy which he loved enough of walking. Lat er we bought a carava holiday. He used to n and he loved going sit on the decking and on watch the world go and give him a fuss. by. Everyone used to stop Benson sadly passed away when he was 20 . We talk about him lives and he is deeply every day, he change missed.” d our

Our lives are marked with significant events, for example buying our first home, getting married, having children, perhaps getting divorced or a loved one becoming sick. All these, and many more, have an impact on our finances. What would happen to you and your family if you became ill and unable to work?........... According to a survey of financial advisers undertaken by Royal London, many advisers feel that younger consumers are looking at their income protection needs too late. Is this because they don’t feel a ‘need’ or is just because they’re unaware of what protection is available to give them security? In our opinion, if you start paying income protection from a young age and get used to the monthly outgoing then it is much easier to manage and budget for. Knowing that you don’t run the risk of losing your home for example and having a regular monthly income if you are unable to work due to illness, is a reassurance we all would like so let’s start talking about it sooner rather than later. Short or long-term policies are available so make sure you’re aware of what is out there so you can manage the unexpected better.

Mike’us sings M

This list of thankless jobs had me thinking about a weird thing I saw once when out walking – Someone had gone along a (particularly badly) poo lined path sticking little flags into each of the offending dollops. It’s something I’ve never been able to forget, despite trying. I mean why?!

Some thoughts

(from a near fully fit George) The good news is that he is feeling much better and would like to thank all those who have asked after his health. Whilst convalescing he has got round to thinking about why he ever decided to take on the thankless task of becoming UCIP’s People’s Champion. He has had so many bizarre conversations with locals who have ‘buttonholed’ him in the past twelve months or so, that his enthusiasm for the role has been sorely tested. Still, he consoles himself that he is a volunteer carrying out unpaid research for a laudable purpose and he could, although he doubts it, give it all up anytime he chooses. When I called round to see him last week he did say that he had every sympathy for those who were in what he called ‘impossible’ jobs that they just had to put up with as they had no other means of ‘putting food on the table!’ Here are a few he came up with:-

Public Relations Advisor to the POTUS:Let’s face it, the money may be good but who in their right mind would want to be responsible for ensuring that Donald Trump doesn’t, metaphorically speaking, put his foot (or any other part of his anatomy you can think of!) into it.

Tourist Officer for the Potteries with specific responsibility for Burslem:Anyone who knows this part of the world well, and particularly if they are regular visitors to Vale Park to watch Port Vale, will know that whoever is charged with promoting the area as a holiday destination, has next to

no chance of success. It may look as if it has suffered collateral damage in a war, but in reality, it is self-inflicted.

Dog Poo Finder:Not the most pleasant of jobs I’m sure most people would agree. However, if anyone out there is desperate for an environmental role that, whilst unpaid, is likely to be well rewarded by cash donations from grateful villagers, there is a vacancy for just such a role in Newton. NB – this will undoubtedly apply to other locations in our area. They would of course make themselves redundant if they managed to identify and ‘name and shame’ the irresponsible owners of such incontinent pets.

Manager of the Scottish Football team:For a nation that once proudly showed the world how the game should be played, Scotland is no longer producing the likes of Don Masson, Sandy Pate, John Robertson or Ted McMinn and it has become clear that whoever takes charge of the national team is now on a ‘hiding to nothing.’ It will be a long and painful process, but any future Scotland manager must get the Scottish Government to ban the sales of Macaroon Bars, Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers, deep fried Mars Bar Suppers and limit drinkers to no more than three pints of Tennent’s Lager in a session, before they will have any chance of producing successful footballers ..........................and that will never happen.

Look again, you know you want to.

There are quite a lot of opinions on moss in a garden. There are moss killers about for those who prefer perfect grass, and if you do want to get rid of it, cut back overhanging branches or foliage to allow the patch more light and aerate the ground properly so grass roots will survive better.

YEAR RANTEE GUA

8 93-201

But there’s also the view that if moss is growing in your garden, it’s probably because the conditions are right and that it might be worth thinking about leaving it be and letting it create a lush Japanese-style carpet which you don’t have to cut. It prefers cool, shady damp ground and you can help it to expand by transplanting tiny pieces from an existing bed.

A blessing or a curse, it’s your decision. Oriental poppies are spectacular but can look very messy once they’ve flowered. Deadhead them and cut back to ground level to encourage new growth. You may also find that hardy geraniums will flower again later in the year if you cut them back after flowering. Water any edible crops in grow bags and containers once daily preferably in the early morning. If you have potatoes in containers don’t over-water as this may compact the soil and prevent tubers from swelling. Feed weekly.

TOP TIP!

Top tip: Keeping thirsty plants well watered can be difficult if it’s hot this month... Dig a well around the base and this will enable to water to be absorbed deeper at root level. 06/11/2018 18:16

COOPER’S CORNER So, the football season is over and all that’s left is the memories, some bad, some good and some, which were quite frankly bizarre – VAR has certainly had an impact on the beautiful game. But I’m not the one to make sense of itNoall. MoreI’llPainting pass you over to our Barry for that honour… No More Ladders

Fascias

If you’re sitting down... We’ve had nine months of chaos, drama, chairmen exposing themselves on social media, clubs spying on each other and no shortage of incredible comebacks. And that barely scratches the surface. Have we ever known a campaign quite like it? I certainly can’t remember one where I’ve constantly used the phrase, ‘bloody football, eh’? In truth, we should have known we were in for something special after England’s terrific performance at the World Cup in Russia, which was followed up by an impressive Nations League campaign. At the time of penning this column, Derby County had just upset the odds to beat old foes Leeds United in the play-off semi-final, while Nottingham Forest watched on with eyes of envy as the Rams clocked up another Wembley appearance having failed in their quest for a top six finish. Elsewhere, Mansfield Town and manager David Flitcroft somehow managed to pass up the giftwrapped opportunity of promotion to League One and Notts County, well, oh dear Notts County. Installed as promotion favourites last summer following a fine season which saw them narrowly beaten by Coventry City in the play-off semi-final at Meadow Lane, the walls have since come crashing down around them. No longer can the Magpies call upon the prestigious title of ‘World’s Oldest League Club’ – a crown which will inevitably feel like a kick deep into the genitals for their fans, has now been passed over to Forest.

And no, it isn’t Stoke City. We’ve Soffits had that confirmed by the EFL – as if there was ever any doubt. Instead of facing up to life in the third tier, as they hoped would be their reward come the end of the season, they’re now plotting trips to Fylde, Bromley, Dover and Barrow. At least Notts’ old chums Chesterfield will be there to give them a warm embrace. What the Magpies’ collapse has shown for all to see, is that if you don’t get the right people on board, allow egos to take control and get recruitment all wrong, this is always a risk. I’ve written in this column earlier in the campaign about Alan Hardy’s indiscretions – a man who arguably had good intentions from the outset, but lacked the professionalism, respect or nous to ever allow the club to be managed successfully. Hardy’s desperation to be liked, to be front and centre became his downfall and now, he’ll forever be remembered as the man who took the oldest league club in world football, out of it. Getting back won’t be easy for Notts, they’ll be the big fish in a very competitive pond. Just ask Mansfield, Lincoln, Luton and more recently Chesterfield, just how tough the National League is, and make no mistake about it, they will be the big scalp. It will be a long road back for the Magpies, but it’ll be fascinating watching from close by to see how it all plays out. But first, they must sort out the ownership. Then and only then can this famous old bird start moving forward in the right direction.
