Braunstone History Group; A Memorable Remembrance Day!

n Armistice Day 2014, the Brite Centre became host to the Spark Arts for children’s performance of ‘The First’. The performance told the story of 2 Braunstone lads, Freddy and Jack who grow up together and it follows their journey of friendship as they enter the Great War. The performance was especially created to spark intrigue in school children and local people about the experiences of World War I. The performance incorporated real life experiences from the war shared by the Braunstone History Group, also including family stories from the late History Group member Alan Chapman.

The story captured the imagination of all including Helen Catterwell, Chair of the history group. She told the Alert ‘I was very proud of the performance and it even brought a tear to my eye’!

Helen added, ‘We would like to say a big thank you to actor Gary Lagden, director Adel Al-Salloum and writer Jayne Williams for bringing this performance to the adults and children of Braunstone’.

FRIENDS OF HIGHWAY SPINNEY AGM F.O.H.S will be hosting their Annual General Meeting on Monday 16th February 2015 at Braunstone West Social Centre, St Mary’s Avenue, Braunstone Town at 7pm.

Janice Lock, F.O.H.S, Events Secretary, told the Alert, ‘Our meeting starts with the business section which lasts for no longer than 30 mins followed by our guest speaker for about 45 minutes’.

‘Afterwards there will be light refreshments/ raffle and a chance to look at a photographic display of the history of the Spinney and the work we have done and of course a chat’!

‘Our Guest Speaker this year is Neil Talbot of the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust who will be giving a power point presentation about Amphibians and Reptiles. Come and join us. You will be made very welcome’.

News from Braunstone Park

f you have visited the Walled Garden recently you would have noticed that the Warren Memorial has been taken down - due to rotting wood. The memorial will be restored in spring 2015, by members of the Warren family.

Park Run goes from strength to strength on a Saturday morning around Braunstone Park – with 398 runners the record attendance, in November, for any one run.

If your New Year’s resolution is to get fit – please join in at the 9am start near the Alymer Road play area on the park. It doesn’t matter whether you are a club runner, a jogger or someone who wants to take up running… finish your morning off with a cuppa and a chat at Braunstone Leisure Centre.

It was started in 1998 and we still have a few members of the group who came on the very first day.

Membership of the group is limited, due to shortage of space, to 16 members and we have a waiting list of people who wish to join.

If you just want to walk and chat in the fresh air, then Monday mornings at 11am on Braunstone Park could be the start you need to get yourself fit in 2015.

Wrap up warm

old weather affects the elderly and can leave them vulnerable to illness. Keeping warm inside and outside their home can reduce the risk of serious health problems like chest infections, heart attacks and strokes. Here are some obvious and not so obvious top tips to stay warm and safe this winter. ● Dress in plenty of layers of clothes, make sure you have dry warm shoes or boots with non-slip soles, a hat, gloves and scarf. ● Have your heating system serviced and/or have the current contact numbers for your local repair engineer at hand. ● Keep the main room that you live in, between 18 – 21 degrees. ● Keep basic food items in the cupboard or freezer in case it’s too cold to go shopping, or shop online and get it delivered. ● Put extra layers of blankets or quilts on your bed, use an electric blanket or hot water bottle, and close the bedroom window at night. ● Eat and drink healthily and keep as active as possible.

Ask a family member or friend to call or visit more often. Whether you use these tips for yourself, a family member, a friend or neighbour, I hope they keep that person warm and safe this winter in Braunstone.

By Robert Butcher

Shhhh, don't tell the vicar... Rev Chris Burch will be retiring from St Peter's Church in April 2015. He has been heavily involved with Braunstone and some of you might like to express your thanks for what he has done for you and the community.

Gifts of appreciation should be sent to the church treasurer, c/o 3 Redmarle Road, Leicester, LE3 1PH. Cheques should be made payable to St Peter's PCC. St Peter's - Open Door On Thursday mornings from 10:00 - 12:00.

Braunstone Fishing News In 2015 we are developing the nature lake (the lake with the island) and new fishing bays will be put in place along with disabled bays.

We will be sending our head bailiff Steven Halford to train as a coach,. We are hoping to plant some oxygenating plants in the lake, as well, the plants will improve the water conditions for the fish.

Its that time of year when the fish go thanks to the deepest waters for Many the winter, if you go fishing you would probably need to use and wishing you bottom feeding baits rather than floating baits.

Next year we will see many improvements to the lake. This year we have cleared the paths around the top lake and overgrowth has been trimmed down. This has improved the appearance immensely and it is looking really good. Anyone who wants to join the club 2015 please contact braunstone.fishingclub@hotmail.com for more details.

Police News As the nights are drawing in, please be aware of and adopt some simple crime prevention ideas: ● Keeping lights on and lock up your houses ●Do not make your house/garage inviting to burglars with left over boxes/rubbish from Christmas presents and keep in mind security by registering valuables on: www.immobilise.com.

With the new term beginning at school, we would like to remind parents to: ● Please consider where you park your cars as roads can get busy with children crossing, so drive slowly, safely and away from school gates. ● Due to theft, please make sure your car and its contents are secure and do not leave your car engine running while defrosting as this can invite opportunist to steal your car.

Working together as a community is important and can help reduce crime, we have been working hard in your area and been responsive to the community by steeping up on our patrols in problem areas. We want to continue this and urge you to report your problems to us anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 500 111.

On a lighter note, we have been working with local events such as the ASRA, Graffiti artist Ample and the residents of Webster road to clean ups and have been growing vegetables at the station for the local food share, which we have really enjoyed this year! We are also looking forward to working closely with the community again in the next year. Please feel free to contact me if you want us to get involved in community projects and events as this is a good chance for us to speak to everyone and hear you views.

Many thanks and wishing youand all a the prosperous New Year!

What a winning Team!

hen their son, James, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy last year, local couple Darren & Mazz Liquorish, family and friends decided to raise £6,000 towards research for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Their mission was to complete SIX triathlons and over the last six months, the Alert has followed the TRI4James team as they took on this incredible challenge and what a fantastic fund-raising journey it has been!

The team have also dedicated time raising funds through sponsored walks, sky dives, shaving heads, hair fashion show, and table-top sales and the donations have been flooding in. The fund-raising target was quickly smashed way back in September and with huge support from local residents, organisations, businesses and individuals a whooping £10,000 has been raised so far.

But their journey and fund-raising doesn’t end there… the team have gone on to successfully finish the Leicester Marathon back in October, and also went on to complete the Mallory Park Duathlon in November in the wet autumn weather. (See Alert Gallery) If you would like to find out more, or to make a donation please visit www.tri4james.com or their facebook page www.facebook.com/triforjames. The Alert, would like to wish the team all the best with their fund-raising efforts in 2015, and will catch up with them later on in the year.

Your Security Is Our Priority Avi Singh is a local business man who is the director of Braunstone based AK9 Security Services.

With over 27 years of experience within the security industry he has recently expanded his portfolio of services to AK9 Protection.

The dog team at Ak9 are trained to deal with a number of security threats, drug concealments and also explosive search. Avi also offers 1:1 general training for your dog and any behavioural issues that have. AK9 will also have the capacity to board dogs at their local kennels early in the New Year. Avi states that “different dogs within the Ak9 team all have different and unique purposes, some for drug’s search, some for sniffing out explosives and some for general protection which are mainly used on hostile sites with a high threat of intrusion”.

Avi's training approach focuses on identifying what drives the dog, be it a toy or food to help channel their learning. Dogs can be trained from the age of 12 weeks for various security duties. Avi extends an open invite to all members of the public to visit or spot check his 24hr kennels in the New Year.

Ak9 is located at the Business Box and has a security training academy based there, where they provide the facility to take formal qualifications. Avi, who has worked with large organisations such as Willmott Dixon, and now recently has become an approved supplier for the MW Group. He would like to develop his services in the future to offer clubs/pubs in our City drug searches using his passive dogs. Eventually Avi would like to take his services international once his kennels are fully developed. If you would like any further information, see AK9 in traders corner.

We at the Alert would like to wish Avi & AK9 all the best with his business in the future.

Dear Alert, The museum opened its doors for the last time in 2014 on Tuesday 25 November for the Braunstone History Group.

Special thanks go to Alwyn Watson, who gave a very informative talk on ‘Braunstone Park as a military camp in WWII during the morning – the room was fully booked! Many thanks to Helen and members of the Braunstone History group for their help over the past year – these exhibitions couldn’t have taken place without you.

Thanks also to all residents who took time out to come and see the exhibitions throughout the year. Many of whom went to Braunstone Hall Junior School or lived in the Nisen Huts on the park – keep bringing your photos and memories into us. We started with one room of exhibits and now we are using four rooms – let’s hope we can keep up the good work in 2015. Look out in the Alert for details of forthcoming exhibitions in 2015.

Braunstone Park Officer Anita Robinson Dear Reader, The Talk Time fundraising lunch at the Winstanley Arms was enjoyed by 56 staff, volunteers & friends. £178.60 was raised by the meal plus £87.00 from the raffle plus £24.40 in donations. A grand total of £290.00!

Special ‘Thank you’ cards have been sent to Kate Coltman at the Pub and David Illingworth @ Fenwicks.

Kate for hosting a superb carvery and David for the generous contribution of raffle prizes.

Huge additional thanks to everyone else who donated prizes and money. To Ali Gamble and the b-connected team, for her very efficient spread sheet, recording bookings and payments (unlike my scruffy handwritten list!). And lastly thanks to all of you who attended. Hope you enjoyed it and will support Talk Time in further fundraising events.

Maggie Bodell Stagg

Dear Alert We the community volunteering learners have been on a roller coaster ride of community engagement. Since enrolling on the course we have all worked extremely hard to put on a Christmas party for local 8-11 year olds children. As a group, supported by the b-connected team and Resnet, developed our skills to organise a disco, request donations, wrap presents, bake and take photos. We brought a party atmosphere to the Oak centre and made it look very festive on the day.

We even got Santa be there, alongside with Spiderman. The day was a great success and all of the children and parents said how much they enjoyed it. We have learnt a lot during our time on the course from health and safety to the Hokey Kokey. Thank you to every single person involved in helping us to put on such a fantastic event and to the local schools and parents in supporting the celebration.

From all on the community volunteering course (CVQ).
