Network News

The following items were discussed at the latest neighbourhood management board (NMB) meetings.

Consultations were started at the carnival and to date over 200 questionnaires have been completed. Most respondents have agreed with the current priorities.

Most concern has been raised around a small group of adolescents who are engaging in ASB in Bendbow Rise, others have highlighted a request for benefits advice.

Positive feedback has been received from the general public, stall holders and Fullhurst Community College.

This year saw a fantastic 3,000 people visit Braunstone Carnival. The total cost to host the carnival was just over £5,000, however 3 grants were received from the City Council Events Team, Ward Councillors and the Residents’ Network, each donated £1,000, therefore the cost to the Foundation was just £2,000.

Eileen updated the board - The ResNet received a certificate of thanks for the ‘Make Mollie Move’ event.

The carnival shuttle bus received positive feedback from the people who made use of the service, however, better advertising of the bus route with a time-table have been recommended for the shuttle bus next year.

Planning permission is expected to take six months to complete and local people will be invited to attend a review of the plans in the near future.

There is £12,000 of funds left for the remainder of the year and the NMB members were asked to advise groups who are in need to apply as soon as possible. b-connected is co-ordinating a benefits advice steering group. The group meet monthly in order to bring together a number of relevant local service providers to offer benefit information and signposting in a coordinated way. This will likely be in the form of a leaflet. b-connected is hosting an afternoon tea event at The Winstanley Centre on September 13th. The theme will be around health and well being for older adults.

Hockley Farm Patient participation Group (PPG) is holding an open fun day on October 5th around the theme of Respiratory Awareness.

he Residents’ Network have been really busy of late, helping b-connected host this years’ summer events ‘Braunstone on the Beach’ parts one and two.

The Residents’ Network donated £150 to support the volunteers in delivering an event as part of their Community Volunteering Qualification Courses, levels 1 and 2. Both events were highly successful, with over 200 people at each with great feedback from those that came. Lucy said, ‘My 7-year old has had so much fun that he doesn’t want to go home.

Excellent staff and organisation - 10/10’.

Eileen, of the Resnet told us, ‘We in the Resnet are always keen to support these events, its great to see how much the kids get out of it and the parents too!’

When asked what’s next, the Resnet said, ‘We’re putting on a 1940’s night with the theme of VE Day. Half the proceeds will go towards ‘Help for Heroes` and a local campaign we are supporting called ‘Charlie says (please help me walk)’. This will be on the 29th of November, to be held at the West End Working Men’s Club, Braunstone Avenue. Come along, have fun, meet the Resnet, make new friends and support your community!’

The Resnet would like to put out a call to the community, we are looking for volunteers to join the committee, help out at events and to keep Braunstone moving forward. If you are interested call on the number above or email tracey.spears@binspired.org.uk.

ike Keen was handpicked for the job of managing the Braunstone Adventure playground and has done so with passion and commitment for over 30 years. His vision and hard work built the playground up to where it is today and he is sadly missed by all at the Adventure playground. All at b-inspired, b-connected and the Braunstone Residents’ Network offer their sincere condolences to Mike’s family and friends at this sad time.

Winstanleys come home raunstone History Group are to hold several more open days at The Braunstone Park Stable Block and Walled Garden Museum over the next couple of months. We at the Alert caught up with Helen Catterwell, the group's chair, to find out more about the theme and what items will be put on display.

Helen said, 'The exhibition is going to be about where the Winstanleys came from and where they lived once they were in Braunstone.'

She explained to us that the Braunstone History Group , over the last few months, has seen their collection of Winstanley memorabilia increase dramatically, all thanks to Andy Poore, the son of the late Rosemary Winstanley. The books, photo albums and letters he has kindly given have enabled the History Group to trace the Winstanley family tree back to the 1700's. Helen told us, 'He feels the items belong in Braunstone. I believe that would have been Rosemary’s wish'.

The History Group will be exhibiting the items from this collection on the following Tuesday mornings between 10 am - 12 pm: September 24th, October 29th, and November 26th. So come on down, view this fantastic Winstanley collection and learn more about Braunstone's exciting history over a cuppa, with local historians.

A Winstanley who’s dunnit ? e met with local historian Michael Robinson, a member of the Braunstone History Group. He is writing a Biographical hypothesis surrounding the mysterious death of the Lord of the Manor - James Beaumount Winstanley. Michael has spent the last year researching his idea and has finally taken pen to paper. Michael says, ‘This is not a boring history book, but reads like an Agatha Christie novel, with lots of twist and turns, clues that will leave the reader in no doubt when they reach the end’. The title of the book couldn't be more fitting: ‘A Victorian mystery solved?

Or a mystery of contradictions’. The Alert team would like to wish Michael all the best with his book.

W

ate Hunter, the Practice Manager from Hockley Farm Medical Practice has given the Alert a few important pieces of information.

Kate told us, ‘We will be starting our flu vaccination clinics in October and will start booking patients in from September. If you are over 65, are pregnant or have an underlying health condition such as diabetes, asthma or COPD, please get in touch with us from mid September onwards to book you an appointment’.

Another piece of good news from Kate was about the new GPs starting with the practice in August. Kate said, ‘We are delighted that we have four new doctors, they are: Dr A Milne, Dr F Fatima, Dr N Fernando, and Dr F Anjum’. Kate added, ‘We will have a further two starting in October: Dr S Butt and Dr R Knox’.

ver the years Braunstone Hall has gained a reputation to be known for being haunted by members of the Winstanley family and others. There have been several investigations by mediums and tour groups, trying to capture glimpses of an apparition. There have been many recorded sightings in and around the hall and grounds.

Sightings such as a white lady, a coach being pulled by black horses, several beloved pets and ex-workers.

O

After speaking to several residents that have ventured past the hall, we have been told of a young girl called Mary Ellen who sits on the branches of the 70ft cedar tree crying. A council worker at the stables reports hearing loads of banging and doors slamming yet he’s the only one there. One resident spoke of how her relative’s friend, being possessed by the dog “no no” she said that she got down on her hands and knees and started barking.

The 4c’s Cafe are getting into the Halloween spirit this Autumn ur attention has been caught by Tina & Mary from the 4c's cafe, based in Caldecote Primary School, Hallam Crescent. They are running a special Halloween picture colouring competition which is going to start October 1st 2013.

Braunstone Foodshare dates

An ex pupil of Braunstone Hall Junior School said that a ghost would play practical jokes on students by opening cupboards, pulling girl’s ponytails and pinching the back of necks. There were also areas in the school that pupils and staff dared not go into, the music room and the back of the stairs near the cellar.

On the 5th of July we went on our very own ghost hunt to see if we could spot any of these apparitions. Although none of us saw anything, one of us had a strong feeling of being sick and when looking at the photo evidence there was an image captured on two different cameras in that same spot… To be continued.

raunstone Foodshare would like to say a huge thank you to ASDA and its customers, who kindly donated over one weekend £400 worth of food to the Braunstone Foodshare scheme. Tracey Spears of b-connected said, ‘We were over whelmed by the amount of food we collected.

One lady gave us four bags full of food and lots of people gave us a carrier bag full. Thank you so much to every one who supported the Braunstone Foodshare at the weekend’.

The Foodshare scheme in Braunstone has been running for over a year and a half. It first started at St Peter’s Church and has grown to include two more venues, the BRITE Centre and the United Reform Church. There is a need for more volunteers to take on tasks like transporting the food and helping to get venues set up on the day of operation.

If you would like to become one of the Braunstone Foodshare team contact Tracey on or email

&T Performing Arts is well-known locally for their successful dance and theatre classes, but we’ve been hearing about Armchair Aerobics for the older members of the community and wanted to find out more. So we went in search of Ruth, her daughter Beth and grand-daughter Georgina who run the classes down at the Winstanley Centre.

Ruth tells us that it’s not just about the exercise. She feels that getting people together is just as important, ‘People arrive about 12 noon, have a cup of tea and a chat.

Aerobics usually takes place between 1 and 1.30 then they have a chat and finish about 2’.

We met some stalwarts of the class; Mick and Sherry Braimbridge have both been coming for 7 months.

They joined the class together hoping to improve their health, fitness and to lose a bit of weight, but they have found that they have gained in other ways! They really enjoy the social side of coming to the centre and say it’s great fun!

So if you are an older adult looking for a fun, but gentle, way to exercise and meet people please come and join them at the Winstanley Centre, off Blackmore Drive, every Thursday from 12 noon to 2 pm. For a taster, Ruth will be running an Armchair Aerobics session for us at our ‘Make-Do & Mend’ Event on September 13th between 1.30 – 4.30 pm, also at the Winstanley Centre.

ocal firm Samworth Brothers, based at the Meridian Business Park, kindly supported a b-connected scheme this summer through their Bradgate Bakery by providing sandwiches, crisps and drinks.

The weekly pack-up scheme was delivered to kids at three venues in the area - The BRITE centre, Sure Start and the Adventure Playground.

Additional lunch-box items were donated by the Braunstone Residents’ Network. b-inspired’s Chief Officer Angie Wright, along with b-connected’s Neighbourhood Support Worker Tracey Spears, went along to collect the sandwiches and to hand over a ‘Thank-You’ card from all the staff and children involved.

Angie Wright told us, ‘It has been a really heart warming gesture by this big, but local, company who could see the need and really stepped in to help. It has been so successful and much appreciated and we hope to continue this important relationship in the future’.

Sow & Grow Tatties for Christmas ooo

Make some drainage holes in a large size reusable grocery bag.

Put a layer of compost 10 cm (4 in) deep in the bottom of the bag.

Place 4 chitted potatoes on top and cover these with another 10cm layer of compost. As shoots appear top with more compost until the shoots are within 5 cm of the top of the bag.

Once the weather turns colder move into a sheltered place and cover the crops with old newspaper on frosty nights. Harvest once the flowers have died back.

Stoptober Event 2013 Can you stop for 28 days?

My name is Syd Mathias and I’m a stop smoking advisor with the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.

I hold a clinic at the BRITE Centre on Tuesdays, some of you may know me from there, and I have been in the Alert a few times. This is an update about an exciting event to be held during October and it's called Stoptober, where we ask smokers to give Stop Smoking a go for 28 days. You will get lots of help, support and, if needed, medications to do this.

At the end of the 28 days you choose if you wish to remain a non smoker or return to smoking. Last year the Stoptober event in England generated over 250,000 registrations to stop smoking for 28 days.

Syd Mathias, STOP!

I started smoking 30 years ago, I first tried to give up smoking last year and I managed to stop for 4 and a half months, but due to personal circumstances I started smoking again.

A friend told me about the Stop Smoking program run by Syd at the BRITE Centre, and I decide to go along and make an appointment. Thanks to Syd’s support and advice I managed to give up smoking on March 13th (No Smoking Day) and I have not looked back since. I now feel great, and positive that I have finally given up. I feel so much better, I have a lot more energy and have managed to save £630 since giving up smoking.

I would recommend that anyone who wants to stop smoking sees Syd at the BRITE Centre and takes part in the Stop Smoking campaign

Marion If you want to use STOP! then see Syd at the BRITE Centre Wednesdays 10 am - 5 pm or call 0116 295 4141

I’m 52 years old and I smoked for 34 years, I used to smoke 60 cigarettes a day. I wanted to stop to improve my cycling and thanks to Syd’s help I have managed to stop.

I first met Syd through my job at the BRITE Centre, I spoke to him about how I was trying to stop smoking.

Syd suggested using Nicorette lozenges as a method to quit smoking, and within 3 months I had managed to stop.

The advice and support that I received from Syd through the Stop Smoking programme has been amazing and I will never smoke again.

As we’re all feeling the crunch and having to tighten our belts, we at the Alert felt that we could all do with some money-saving ideas for you to have some fun with.

Macaroni Cheese 8 oz macaroni ¼ cup of low fat margarine ¼ cup of flour ¼ teaspoon of salt & pepper 2 cups of milk 2 cups of cheddar cheese, grated Cook the macaroni per the instructions on the pack. In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine over a low heat, stir in the flour, salt & pepper, slowly add the milk. Continue to stir until the mixture starts to bubble and then stir in the cheese. Drain the macaroni, and add to the cheese sauce.

Serve hot with some nice crusty bread.

When I’m cleaning windows When cleaning your windows, instead of using an expensive brand of window cleaner, why not use vinegar and newspaper as a cheaper alternative?

Just dilute some vinegar with water in a bowl and, using a cloth, apply the liquid to your windows as you would do normally. Wipe away any residue with old newspaper. You will certainty notice the difference it makes to your windows!

Dear Alert Readers, The best part of living in Braunstone is.... when we have holidays from school, and there is nothing to do, b-connected and the Braunstone Residents’ Network will put on events such as the Easter event and the Braunstone at the Beach events. During the Easter holidays an event was held at Summer’s Cafe, there were lots of craft activities including Easter bonnet making, a lucky dip, an Easter egg hunt and a colouring competition. We all had lots of fun and it was a great day, just like the more recent event Braunstone on the Beach. There was a slush machine, candy floss machine and popcorn along with money off tokens which came in very handy! There was a sand pit and water play, bouncy castle and a craft table where we made grass skirts and coloured in pictures. I personally think that all the staff and volunteers who put on these events are very kind and caring and put in a lot of effort to ensure that local residents have a great time. I hope that they continue holding amazing events.
