Mansfield’s Much Needed Pod
ansfield ‘Pod’ (activity centre) is the latest addition to Southwell Care Project’s (SCP) centres for adults with learning disabilities. The charity started out in Southwell before evolving to include a ‘Pod’ in Newark and the latest which has opened this September at the St John’s Centre in the middle of Mansfield. SCP offers courses in vital life-skills such as money management and cookery as well as broader interest activities such as crafts, singing, dancing and drama. For many clients this is central to leading a fulfilling life and, perhaps as essential as the activities, it enhances self-esteem by engaging them with members of the wider community. Whilst SCP has some employed staff, they very much depend on volunteers. These come from diverse backgrounds and include retired teachers, youngsters completing their Duke of Edinburgh Award and even mums with young children.
Taster sessions across the summer have proved that there is a need for the service in Mansfield so anyone willing to lend a hand will be roundly welcomed. Funding for SCP’s work has become more challenged with recent government cuts. Consequently, SCP has a further initiative to generate income. This is a cut flower business and associated services running out of a new centre adjacent to Brackenhurst Agricultural College near Southwell. As well as being run as a Social Enterprise, Flower Pod will offer a range of learning and recreational activities in a scenic location. Mansfield Pod can be found at the St John’s Centre, St John St, Mansfield, NG18 1QH. Contact information: Web- www.southwellcare. org Email - tracy@ southwellcare.org or info@ southwellcare.org or alternatively ringing Anna Joyce or Steve Shatwell – 01636 819066.

Rotary Club of Sherwood Forest
iking for Charity - Speakers have still been visiting our club during the past months. Neil Smith from Ollerton came and spoke about the challenges he and 5 biker friends had recently organising and doing a sponsored bike ride aid of Macmillan Cancer Care. Neal said ‘Raising money for others gives one a fantastic sense of achievement’ The ride from Lands End to John O’Groats took 6 months to organiser and raised £7.000.00.
cow girls, Sheriffs, outlaws and a few Injuns attended. They had polished their spurs, brushed off their hats and were entertained to foot stomping, toe tapping, live country music from Crazy hearts and by the Pet Shop Girls line dancers led by the amazing June. The saloon was run by Luscious Lill and her gall, Rotarians Stella Herbert and Laura Harmer from Edwinstowe.
Flying Ace Adam – sixteen year old Tuxford Academy student Adam Lomax from Wellow came to the club and gave a talk about his amazing successes with flying radio controlled model aircraft. He has been competing with the best operators in the world following his winning the British national Championships in the clubman, intermediate and advanced classes. Adam was subsequently invited to join the British Acrobatics team for the 2012 European Championships in France which were followed by taking part in the Aerobatics World Cup in Kent. Club members were extremely impressed with all that Adam has achieved and presented him with a donation of £50 to help with his expenses.

Be Kind to your Boiler
oilers, like cars, can run for years without being serviced, but if they aren’t checked regularly it could be costly in the long run. Boilers are subject to gradual wear and tear and if minor problems are left unchecked they could lead to major damage, hefty repair bills and even boiler replacement. An annual service takes about an hour and should be carried out by a fully qualified Gas Safe engineer, who will calibrate the boiler and check for leaks and soot build ups. The result will be a boiler that is operating efficiently and safely – and saving you money because it is using less energy!
poisoning can lead to serious illness and even death if it is not detected. Known as the silent killer, there are no obvious signs, so a safety test could literally be a life saver. Getting your boiler serviced may seem like a waste of money – especially if you’ve had it done in the past and all was well – but is it really worth taking that risk?
Along with the financial benefits, annual boiler servicing is essential to the terms of some warranties and is a legal requirement if you are a landlord. It could also be a matter of life and death should a leak be discovered. Carbon monoxide

Minibus Handover to Local School
I
t was a good day at Pentagon Mansfield last week when the kids and teachers arrived to collect the new minibus for the school.
The bus will be used mainly for transporting students for sporting events hence Mr Russell Lathall, Head of physical Education, was given the keys. Quarrydale Academy originally opened in 1969 as a comprehensive school. it most recently became the most improved school in the country (based on 3 year improvement) and results continue to be above the national average. It is now over subscribed and there is a waiting list to join. One of the key featues of the Academy is its sporting prowess, and the new minibus will be a regularly used acquisition. The school have expressed their gratitude to the professional staff of Pentagon Mansfield for all of their recent help and support.
The Head of Physical Education is Mr Russell Lathall ( in red top) pictured receiving the keys from David James Sales Executive of Pentagon Mansfield. Also pictured is Mr Kenneth Carnell - Vice Chairman of Governors. The kids in photo are in their first year at the Academy - just 3 weeks into the term. Their names in no particular order: Adam Hart 7Q - Olivia Wakeland 7Y - Allana Taylor 7A - Alexandra Graham 7U - William Bradley 7D - Matt Cashmore 7R

Be Flu Savvy!
ost of us know that certain groups of people should visit the GP for a flu jab: the elderly, diabetics, asthmatics etc.
What many people don’t realise is that even if you don’t fall into one of the ‘at risk’ categories a flu jab is still a sensible precaution. You’ll have to pay, but it’s inexpensive (generally under £10) and many pharmacists administer the vaccine on their premises so you won’t have to book an appointment with your GP or take time off work. Why might an otherwise healthy person request a flu vaccine? Well, seasonal flu is a substantial and unpleasant illness, far worse than the common cold, with which it’s sometimes confused. Flu generally requires a week or so off work to recover and can trigger other conditions like bronchitis or pneumonia. The average person with flu infects one or two other people through sneezing, coughing and touch. If you work with the
26
general public, in a shop for example, you are more at risk of being exposed to the virus so you might consider a flu jab a worthwhile investment. A business owner may consider the impact a week off sick would have on his business and opt to protect himself or herself for that reason. Children are much more likely to pick up and pass on bugs as they are in such close proximity to each other all day. For this reason teachers and parents might think it wise to have a jab. Flu jabs are generally safe unless you have an allergy to eggs or have had a previous allergic reaction to a shot. So discuss protecting yourself with your pharmacist today. By Sarah Davey

Dukeries Lions and U3A DUKERIES UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE Following their very successful 20th Anniversary celebrations members of the local U3A are eagerly looking forward to their planned autumn events. The friendly paper- craft group are making Christmas cards and decorative boxes for enclosing gift items. Theatre visits are planned to shows in Nottingham; and an overnight stay in London, to see Warhorse, is undergoing preparation. The hand-bell ringers are tuning up their skills in good time for the approaching festive season; and the ramblers and amblers are, as usual, putting their best feet forward whatever the weather. The Tuesday luncheon club have recently dined at The Huntsman, Torworth, and the Sunday lunch group met at the Forest Lodge, Edwinstowe. We have three very popular investment clubs which meet once a month to discuss the stock market. An investment of £20 month may not make you a fortune but will buy you into a very sociable group, and, who knows, the stock market may climb out of the doldrums soon!? Our new wine appreciation group has attracted many sober-minded members and ten-pin bowling is rolling along nicely. Bridge, scrabble, woodwork, stitchcraft, reading, poetry, art appreciation, architecture, history are all part of the entertaining and educational offerings we are involved in throughout the year. In October we eagerly await a concert by a New York jazz trio at Retford. Tickets are flying out!
also book a guest speaker with interesting tales to tell. Interested? Join us on Monday, 15th October at 1pm. For more information – 01623 824789 or 01623 862827.
