Back to School!
Over 80 dad's turn up for school in Killisick for Father’s Day event! Children enjoyed having their dad’s attend school in what is Killisick Junior School’s biggest Father’s Day event to date! The special day involved children working with their dads to create feats of engineering out of dry spaghetti and marshmallows, designing paper aeroplanes, carrying out science investigations, designing and building the best marble run and creating a parachute to protect the fall of a delicate egg! This year’s event saw the highest participation so far, with over 80 dad’s in attendance! Iain Hardaker has a child at the school and says this was the best event so far. “I came to the very first Father’s Day event here a few years ago, and there were only about eight dad’s here. There are over 80 here today and it’s a tremendous success. It’s an excellent way of engaging not just dads, but families with the school.” Dad, Richard Campion, said he thought it was important to take the time to attend. “I’ve come here today because I love my children, it’s as simple as that. When you work full time you have to take every opportunity to be with your children.” Daughter Maisy agreed, “I think this is better than a normal school day because we have done lots of fun things with Dad!”

Girls Sport Soars With Sponsor Support!
Gedling Southbank U12 girls football team have seen lots of success in a relatively short time together. Their efforts have seen them become winners of several tournaments, League Cup final winners and finished this season as Division 1 Champions! Proud parent Stephanie Jaimes said "these girls are so passionate and dedicated to this team they deserve all they have achieved but we knew with support they could go on to achieve even more!" So Stephanie, with the agreement of the team manager, decided to contact the Gedling and District RoundTable to consider sponsoring the girls team. Tristan Rhodes, of the Gedling and District Round Table, was thrilled at the chance to be able to support another local cause. GDRT worked closely with Stephanie on how best to support the girls team and it was decided they would provide them with new training equipment in preparation for the next season. For more information on the Gedling and District RoundTable or if you wish to offer your support, please visut Facebook @GedlingRT, or visit https://gedling.roundtable.co.uk and for more information on girls football visit https://www.gedlingsouthbankfc.co.uk

Not just fit. Dad fit. Do you remember just after New Year when you resolved to change your lifestyle? Become fitter, eat better, drink less, and generally get buff for beach season? You created a pinterest board of exercise plans and cool looking beach shorts that you were planning on showing off in the summer. I’m guessing that like me, many of them have been completely forgotten as you polish off your child’s unfinished dinners and tuck into those extra helpings of pudding. After all, that bottle of beer in the fridge isn’t going to drink itself, and it would be rude to leave a slice of cake uneaten. And suddenly the holidays are closer. Unless you start on some high-intensity workout plan you’re running the risk of being mistaken for a muffin in swimwear. It’s hard to pretend you’re James Bond when you’re still carrying the Christmas cake. Have no fear, as every dad knows living with children is as much workout as anyone needs. Follow my foolproof steps below and you will be ready for the holidays (please note, this isn’t a legal guarantee. In fact it may not actually be true either!).
FULL BODY WORKOUT Your new regime starts from the moment you wake up: get out of bed, make breakfast, find the toys, switch on the TV, get the kids clothes, switch the TV channel, remake breakfast (they’ve changed their minds), force the kids to brush their teeth, try and get them dressed, find that shoe, no, the other one, work out where the school bags have gone, dress yourself before you leave the house…. Your workout will never end.
LEG DAY It’s important to focus on specific muscle groups in any exercise plan. Often the legs are overlooked but as long as you live in a house that includes both children and stairs you’ll be absolutely fine. Having kids means you’ll have to endure countless instances of running between floors. It doesn’t matter how many times you screech at your kids to come downstairs and get whatever toy they’re complaining about not having, they’ll stay in their rooms like the residents of a besieged castle forcing you to bend to their will. But remember this (as you’re climbing like Sisyphus for the umpteenth time), you will have calves to die for at the end of it.
MOBILE DAD Keeping your mobility is vital, especially as the years go on. Fortunately your kids are here to help. The thoughtful blighters constantly leave piles of clothes, toys, books and random debris across the house. All you have to do is pick it up. Regularly. And have no fear, just when you think you’ve done a sweep of the whole house your mini gym coaches will start the routine all over again. Isn’t it great to have such forward-thinking children. Just remember to bend from the knees.
STRESS INDUCED WEIGHT LOSS If all that sounds too much like hard work, don’t worry. All children will drive you to distraction with a continuous routine of not listening, constantly repeating the same questions, asking you to pick up the thing that’s within arms reach of them, singing terrible songs loudly, screaming, crying for no reason, and waking you up before the sun has thought about rising. All of this combined overload will naturally heighten your stress and anxiety resulting in unchecked weight loss (and probable hair loss and a general increase in muttering threats beneath your breath). That’s it dads. You have no excuse. Follow this handy exercise plan and you’ll be ready to audition for Baywatch. Failing that, there’s always the option to sit on the patio and finish off that last beer.
Edging into my forties, I’m a wrangler of two young children who are either going to keep me eternally young or drive me to an early grave. I’ll be sharing some of my experiences of parenthood and my terrible attempts at staying relevant!

Pinewood Infant School is an outstanding infant school on the Killisick estate. We sourced an old double decker bus from Warrington a few years back as we wanted an exciting learning space for children. Last year we decided it needed transforming because it wasn't being used enough. We also wanted to promote reading for pleasure across school so decided to completely gut it and turn it into a library. We have a site manager here at Pinewood, who, like all our staff, goes the extra mile. In addition to keeping the school site running effectively, Garry has magically transformed the space inside the bus. One of our teaching assistant's, Chloe, has painted some magical scenes throughout the bus to create a woodland theme. Many staff have contributed to the transformation in some way. The idea is that our children will use the bus at playtimes, lunchtimes and a scheduled library time slot each week to enjoy reading fiction, non-fiction, poems, magazines and information about authors that we know and love. We also have bears inside for the children to read to, story sacks and puppets to promote story telling. We have received some lovely messages about our bus from famous children's authors such as Nick Sharrat, Emily Gravett and Michael Rosen. Our new magical reading journey has truly begun . . .

ockwell Go-Karting have a brand new outdoor track, with 750 metres of hairpins, straights, twists and turns this superb track offers thrills and spills to all budding race enthusiasts. They have easy to use 200cc Biz karts which are great fun and thrilling to drive as you pitch machine against the tarmac. ‘I took my husband and two 14 year olds to test drive the track for ng magazines. They have karts suitable for both juniors and adults and the boys were raring to go. We received a really warm welcome from the owner Richard and his staff who were well organised and very professional, you are in safe hands! After being given overalls, helmet and a safety briefing, we were let loose on the track. My husband and the boys whizzed off with no hesitation and it didn't take me too long to get the hang of it and I soon gave them a run for their money. All they talked about in the car on the way home was ‘when are we going again’! So we will be booking another session in the very near future.’ S Cooper.

The circuit is available for casual practice sessions, corporate and owner driver events, children's parties and also for stag and hen parties.

Blackbird Row by Bob Massey
In the early part of the 19th century, a block of three story terrace houses called Blackbird Row was situated between the Balfour Club and the Druids Tavern (the latter is now a car park!) at the end of High Street, Arnold. The source of the name is not known for certain but there are a couple of possibilities. Even though the common blackbird has a preference for trees and dense woodland, they are frequent visitors to gardens. The houses on Blackbird Row had gardens and as the area was less built up in those days, the blackbirds may have been a common site at the time.
Row, so another possible nickname connection. By 1853, the town was expanding and conditions on Blackbird Row started to deteriorate. It was reported that Blackbird Row had only one filthy earth closet to the six houses. This served about 30 people in all. There was no drainage of any sort and water had to be fetched from a spring some 600 yards away. This spring fed a horse trough that was also used by animals. It was situated near cess pits and there were many other dung pits close to the houses. The original neat gardens were long gone and were now used for the storage of waste. A visiting doctor, Thomas Airey, claimed to have cured a resident of Blackbird Row, Ruth Hopewell, of her piles which had been troubling her for some ten years. He used her in one of his adverts for his services in December 1862 but made no mention of the far more serious health problems abounding in the row.
In the Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, there is a line about four calling birds. In the 18th century when the song was written it mentioned four colly birds. Colly is an old English word meaning as black as coal. It was the nickname given to the blackbird. Early miners were often called collys or blackbirds for obvious reasons. Blackbird Row may have been named after some of the residents who worked at the pit in Bestwood. We know that at least four, possibly more, residents were framework knitters. In April 1832, 66 stocking frames owned by Mr Blackwell were sold by auction. Four of these were situated in Blackbird
Further reports in 1866 and 1868 found the sanitary and water situations were still getting worse with manure and other waste seeping into the water supply. There were now cases of typhoid breaking out in the row. The houses and adjacent land had been sold in July 1866 but the new owners had done nothing to change or improve conditions. Things finally started to improve in the 1870s when the Arnold Board of Health finally provided proper sewers and water supplies to the area. By 1880 water was now plentiful enough for Mrs Joseph Mee of 1 Blackbird Row to advertise her services as a washer woman. The gardens had been cleaned up and were used to dry the clothes. Maybe even the blackbirds came back.
I am researching the history of Arnold and would be very pleased to hear from anyone with more details or information. Email: bob.m.massey@gmail.com or post via NG5 magazine.

Cllr John Parr recently enjoyed the annual reunion of the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (REME) in Yorkshire. John recalls; “Meeting up with so many friends and buddies that had served all over the world, brought to mind that during my time at school, it was impressed upon us that we would at sometime be called up for national service! Signing on for three years regular service, as many did, gave me an opportunity to join the REME, moving on to technical training, before being posted overseas to Cyprus where I continued with my education and trade, whilst serving with a mobile infantry workshop.” At the gala dinner, John’s table guests were a retired Major and his wife. John discovered that his guest had also joined the army as an apprentice and had enjoyed a life he could never have imagined previously. It got John thinking. Asking around, he found that many of his friends had also extended their military career and achieved various levels of training and education. The above photo was taken on the bridge that straddles the river Ouse, in the magnificent city of York. As you might imagine, our Chelsea Pensioner friends, Pete and Fred, attracted crowds of people as they walked along, all clamouring for a photo opportunity! Ex-forces members like Pete and Fred are well looked after. The REME family charity in particular, provides help for those with a welfare or benevolence need.

Hereditar y : s w ie v e R Bur ton Good Grief In recent years a more sophisticated, psychological, and down-right disturbing brand of horror film has arisen that has more than jump-scares and buckets of blood to shock the audience. With Hereditary looking to be the latest in the line in this genre, will this anxiety ridden scare-fest prove to be a haunting event or time for a snooze? Hereditary follows a family in grief after their grandmother’s death. Now the family is plagued by horrific phenomena that are getting more and more intense. Can this already damaged household bare another set of tragedies? From the brilliant opening shot, you are free-falling into Hereditary’s spiral of madness. Simple scenes of domesticity will have you holding your breath in dread. And it is this constant sense of danger that director Ari Aster never lets you break free of, making for one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever seen in a classroom since year 8. Everything you see on screen has clearly been put there for a very specific reason, whether that be to scare, intrigue, or simply look gorgeous in the shot, the film-making craftsmanship on show here is phenomenal. This is a film you have to pay attention to, but you’ll be rewarded if you do. And punished too, kind of. Why? Barely seeable figures in the corner of a room, grotesque acts of violence, and literally haunting background moments will stick in your memory and maybe have you keeping the lights on for a while. But none of this would be even half as scary without having poor tortured souls in there to really feel sorry for. The acting on display by the entire cast is nothing short of incredible. You can’t help but feel tremendous empathy for Alex Wolff, as your typically scared teenager just trying to lead an average life. And Toni Collette’s performance as the emotionally scarred and broken Annie
is a complex and fascinating dive into the psychology of grief. The “so-strange-and-horrific-but-you-can’t-takeyour-eyes-off-it” ending is definitely a crescendo that will have you both shocked and questioning everything you just saw. The themes of grief and how a person deals with it is a horror of its own, and the drama that comes out of this dysfunctional family trying to keep it together with the effectiveness of dried up duct tape is an uncomfortable and tough watch. Not the kind of scary you normally get in a horror film, but definitely still a brand of scary. If you enter this film ready to truly concentrate, you will be rewarded with an expertly crafted, sophisticated horror film that leaves you with more questions than you wanted and yet another thing to hide under your covers from. Hereditary = 8/10 © Sam Burton (aged 21)

Don’t sett health in
Stressed? It’s not healthy... As a BANT (British Assoc. For Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy) registered nutritionist, I see a fair share of clients with various health conditions. From digestive disorders to more complex issues, stress is always an unwelcome variable that is stopping individuals from getting better. Developed as a survival instinct to save us from incoming dangers, cortisol, the main stress hormone, is freely produced in response to stressful situations. Most of us will be pretty familiar with its effects. A racing heart, inability to switch off and anxiety, but what is lesser known is the wider ranging consequences: • Stress puts digestion on the back burner. Stress is a survival instinct, so why would you need to be digesting food whilst attempting to run away from a predator? IBS-type symptoms are common in chronically stressed individuals. • Similarly to digestion, fighting off infections also isn’t a priority whilst in a state of danger, so immunity is suppressed. The net result is a poorly functioning immune system and susceptibility to pick up every cold going. • Cortisol, the stress hormone, is the same substance that controls the sleep/wake cycle. Cortisol is naturally higher in the morning allowing us to wake up refreshed and drops through the day, making way for restful sleep. Higher levels of cortisol during the day or evening may contribute to poor sleep and morning grogginess. Needless to say, there is only so long that the body can go on in a stressed state.

30 Day Plan – how it worked for us... Here at NGHQ we like a challenge. In the last edition Eva told us all about her 30 day nutrition plan and we decided to give it a go. Here’s what happened... Eva sent us each an individual plan based on a questionnaire we completed on-line. There was Don’t lots of really useful information and advice. The expect plan also included meal ideas and recipes and guidance on how much protein, carbohydrates and fats we should each be eating. I knew I wasn’t eating enough and also not eating at the right times. The plan got me to focus on this. On a typical day I had Greek yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, a tuna salad for lunch and sweet potato or brown rice with loads of vegetables and chicken or fish for dinner. I was never hungry. Eva also got us drinking a lot more water than we were used to. With only a few tweeks to my diet I had loads more energy, lost 1” off my waist and reduced my urge to scoff crisps and chocolate biscuits the minute I got in from work. I also learnt not to be afraid of fat. Good It’sfat,personal like coconut oil, rapeseed oil and butter are an important part of a healthy diet. After 30 days I have continued to stick to most of my new eating habits. I work on an 80/20 split. So I am good 80% of the time and the other 20% of the time I eat and drink whatever takes my fancy! It works for me.
How do you stop stressing with screaming kids, a pressure filled job, bad relationships, money worries delete as appropriate -? Of course, it’s easier said than done.

The answer may well be in self care. Far from being a hippy concept, it merely means paying attention to how you feel then trying to balance it.

HOW AND WHY BUILD MUSCLE? For many years weight lifting has been viewed as a mainly male sport. The reluctance for women, and some men, to lift weights has always revolved around the fear of looking too masculine as a result. But there are numerous positive effects from building lean muscle tissue, and we aren’t talking about your huge Olympia body builders here. We are talking about general health and living later in life with fewer issues. Why Build Muscle? One of the things we teach our academy members is that lifting weights does not mean huge grotesque physiques. Firstly, and this is relatable to the majority of the population… we NEED muscle mass to burn body fat more efficiently. YES, that’s right. Increasing the quantity of your lean muscle tissue will help you burn body fat much faster. Aside from lowering your body fat, a good amount of lean muscle tissue will help and support the skeletal system, improve your posture and aid joint mobility, alongside many other sport related benefits, but we are talking about general health here. How to Build Muscle Tissue Firstly, to build good muscle tissue, we need to feed the body with what it requires for muscle growth and that is protein and carbohydrates. Effectively, you should be in a controlled calorie surplus, so you will need slightly more calories than your daily recommended intake to aid recovery and repair muscle tissue tearing from exercise. The catch 22 situation here is that you will gain a little body fat, so you do need to control and monitor your intake, but once you have gained a reasonable amount of lean tissue (5-7 lbs to start with) you will effectively burn body fat faster when you reduce your calories to under your daily requirements.
Email: info@strengthyphysique.co.uk Website: www.strengthphysique.co.uk
Secondly, gaining muscle tissue through lifting weights takes time, a long time, so lifting weights for six months is not going to turn you into the incredible hulk, but it will improve your health, body fat and general wellbeing. The topic of gaining muscle is a huge one to cover but we hope this has given you an outline that doing hours of just cardio to lose stubborn fat just isn’t enough. If improving all round general health is the main goal you need to build some muscle first, then let the muscle work for you when you come to reduce your body fat.
You can find more information about these kind of topics on our website.

Steeped in history, we ate in the room where the cursed galleon is on display, now encased in a glass case. It's claimed that anyone who cleaned this small wooden ship met a mysterious death, hence the inches of dust it is now covered with.
T
ravellers to the city of Nottingham invariably find their way to this quaint old inn, carved into the rock connected with the labyrinth of sandstone caves at the foot of Nottingham Castle. As its sign says, it truly is “well known throughout the world”, but the very first question every visitor asks inevitably relates to how it came to have such an unusual name. The word “trip” used to mean a stop or rest – so the name of the pub simply means a stop on the way to Jerusalem. This unique pub has real charm. We visited early on a Friday evening and received a really warm welcome. There are plenty of fascinating rooms to sit and enjoy a drink and a meal, including some lovely outdoor spaces. The recent refurbishment has been done sympathetically and the pub has lost none of its charm. The Trip has an eclectic mix of customers including, while we were there, some really enthusiastic Americans. With all the tourist visitors you really feel you are somewhere special. It seems this is also the celebrity pub of choice for those playing at the Arena across the road.
We started with a fish and chip board (£11.49) between us. It was fabulous and plenty for us to nibble on as a starter while we soaked up the atmosphere. Mains were steak frites (£11.49), lamb shank (£13.99), braised beef and bone marrow pie (£10.99) and a steak burger (£9.95). The food was faultless, particular highlights were the rosemary salted fries, proper suet pie and melt in the mouth lamb. One dessert between us was all we could manage (pathetic, I know!) so we opted for a triple chocolate brownie (£4.95) which was served with mint ice cream. Needless to say it vanished within seconds. I rarely do reviews but boy, am I glad I did this one. Fresh food, fantastic value for money, beautiful presentation and lovely staff. This is one trip I will be making again very soon. © Ali Wale

GRAB A KEBAB D
espite the somewhat dubious reputation of the high street “Doner” kebab, there is much more to this delicious style of cooking than a late night snack after an evening in the pub. Kebabs are in their broadest definition, grilled meat dishes and have their origins in Middle Eastern Cuisine. Many, but not all, are cooked on a skewer and may be chicken, lamb or pork, minced or ground meat, fish and vegetables. Traditionally they would also have been made with mutton, beef or goat. Evidence for the cooking of meat on spits or skewers has been found in many archaeological sites across the Middle East,
Turkey and Greece. The word itself comes from Arabic and means simply “roasted meat”. Many parts of the world have their own take on the kebab. I have a real weakness for the Greek gyros, which remind me of so many lovely holidays on the Greek Islands. But from Africa, the Middle East, India and Pakistan there are so many wonderful kebab recipes to try, you can’t really go wrong with any of them. Here’s a few for you to have a go at home, they can be cooked under a grill or in the oven but they are even better if you can do them over a barbeque!

Live & Let Pie PIE, MASH & MUCH MORE
New Summer Sizzlers to try at Live and Let Pie Ng HQ were kindly asked to test out Live and Let Pie's summer menu selection – well with the option of putting our feet up and letting the trusty staff at Live and Let Pie cook dinner while we watched the football, we jumped at the chance. We were straight on the internet to look at the on-line menu and found we were spoilt for choice. Their menu has grown extensively from the old days of just pie and mash. It now includes Sunday dinners (served all week, £7.00), jacket potatoes (£3-4.00), hot cobs (£3-3.50), beef brisket chilli con carne (£6.00), five bean chilli, minted lamb shank (£8.00), beef braising steak (£7.50), bangers and mash (£6.00) (including a veggie version at £5.00), rich pork faggots (£5.00) and BBQ or hot and spicy ribs (£6.00). Then there's the sides including BBQ or hot and spicy chicken wings (£3.50) and coleslaw (£1.50). The perfect accompaniment for this lovely summer weather. Wow!! Between us we chose a selection of new and old dishes and found they were all amazing. My son and I shared the hot and spicy ribs, chips and coleslaw meal with extra sides of BBQ wings and an extra portion of chips. The ribs were succulent and just fell off the bone and the wings were the same – delicious.
There was definitely plenty for two. My daughter (9), who is a fussy eater, said ‘wow that looks good’ to the kids chicken Sunday dinner and pretty much cleared the plate (it is a very generous portion). My other daughter (18), whose favourite food is mashed potato, had the vegetarian sausages and mash and wishes I could make mashed potato like Live and Let Pie (cheeky!). With the thumbs up from the whole family, it won't be long before I order again.
Vegetarian Sausages
The other ng staff had a variety of choices off the menu including faggots, pie, chilli, ribs and more. The feedback included words like melt in the mouth, gorgeous, great portions, pies packed with meat and tasted homemade. Children's portions are available on all the meals or why not try a family meal deal of 2 regular portions and 2 child portions for only £18.00!!! Bargain! by Cat Hedges

The Toilet Seat Tale
What is it with holiday accommodation and toilets? Wherever in the world we go, we seem to have issues with the toilet! Honestly... is it just me???
And why is it that wherever you stay – even the most luxurious cottage with a sea view and all mod cons – you can never figure out how to use the oven??
Norfolk – static caravan. Gary sat on the seat and cracked it in half. Two days of the holiday spent sourcing a new one. Quite a challenge finding a peach toilet seat circa 1950’s.
Rant over. I am currently sitting in a lovely pub garden sipping fizz in the sunshine. We’re about to drive back to our amazing holiday accommodation where the telly works, there’s a really comfy bed, a fully stocked fridge and you don’t need a degree in engineering to work the oven. Crucially the mugs are the size of buckets and the toilet seats are rock solid! Best of all you even get your post delivered...
Morocco – hotel in Fez. The toilet was so close to the sink that you had to sit “side saddle” in order to even use it. Not a great time to get dysentery... Spain - 5 star house in Mijas to celebrate my 50th. The owner forgot to mention that a problem with the plumbing meant using a bin for toilet paper...like being back in Greece in the 1980’s. New York – Brooklyn brownstone. Amazing place but every time you sat on the toilet seat it slid forward and you felt like you were about to launch into oblivion like Eddie the Eagle. Barcelona – bathroom the size of a small semi. Yes you’ve guessed it. The seat simply did not fit the toilet. No matter how much you carefully adjusted it and tentatively perched your derrier you inevitably slipped and had to grab the loo roll holder to save the day. Don’t get me wrong, I love going away, but with age comes expectation. It’s the little things like the size of cups when you are staying somewhere abroad. Why are they always dolls house size?
Remember folks “holiday” is really just a state of mind.
Golden Staycation Rules
• Have a budget - like you would if you went away. • No cleaning. • No checking work emails/messages. • Eat lovely food - either cook something different or go out. • Go out for day trips - there are probably loads of lovely places nearby that you haven‛t seen. • Visit Lidl - with all the wierd brands you feel like you are in a supermarket abroad. • Be kind to yourself • Don‛t follow your normal routine. Mix it up a bit. • Act like you‛re on holiday. It works!!! © Ali Wale

Tanya About Town A
s the summer continues, it’s all about food, festivals and outdoor fun in and around Nottingham.
Hart’s restaurant continue with their 20 Years of Love from Hart’s celebrations. Make sure you celebrate the great British summer and join them as they dine alfresco in The Park Bar Courtyard for their BBQ (26 July & 23 Aug). There’s plenty more outdoor dining around the county too. Following the success of last year, The Big Bake returns to Newstead Abbey (25-27 Aug) and foodies will love the Festival of Food & Drink at Clumber Park (15-16 Sep) both events offer great food, the fabulous producers behind the brands and special guest demonstrations or, if you fancy learning the other side of it, the School of Artisan Food at Welbeck are running many courses throughout the summer which teach you how to make your own favourite products from bread to cheese. Let’s hope the Ice Cream course (26 Sep) comes in handy this summer.
We can’t guarantee the sun but we can certainly guarantee the sand as the Nottingham beach continues until 2 September in Market Square. Watching the trams go by not your thing? Then sit yourself down for some outdoor entertainment. Outdoor theatre continues at the beautiful venues of Newstead Abbey and Wollaton Park on selected dates, with Wollaton also hosting their summer nights outdoor film screenings (23 -27 Aug)
Speaking of beautiful venues, if you’re a lover of history and culture, look out for the Heritage Open Days. Discover hidden treasures and enjoy a wide range of free tours, events and activities (6 -9/13-16 September) There’s more family fun guaranteed at Gloworm Festival at Thoresby Park (18 19 Aug), catering for children 0 -13 years, expect creative experiences as well as music, entertainment and theatre production. Nottingham’s annual Riverside Festival takes place 3 - 6 Aug, the city’s biggest unique free festival will cover a mile along the banks of the River Trent at Victoria Embankment and down the road on the Meadows Embankment the vibrant Nottingham Carnival returns (12 Aug) boasting hundreds of show stopping costumes and dancing. Fingers crossed for great weather, but it’s always dry inside Nottingham’s concert halls and theatres. There’s a host of entertainment to choose from. Pop princess Kylie Minogue returns to the Motorpoint Arena (20 Sep) with her Golden Tour whilst Sleaford Mods play the Royal Concert Hall (30 Sep) and there are some great musicals in the diary too with Shrek (11 -23 Sep), Let it Be (11-15 Sep) at the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall and Sweet Charity at the Playhouse (31 Aug - 22 Sep).

The KIT University Chamber Choir hosted the choir and extended a very warm welcome. CMVC look forward to providing similar hospitality when the KIT choir visits Nottingham in 2019. This is the second time that the Carlton choir has represented Nottingham in Karlsruhe. It was 24 years ago, in 1994, when musical contacts were first made with the Bach Choir. This enabled friends in Karlsruhe to rekindle those friendships. Nikolaus Indlekofer told CMVC how much KIT Choir and he had enjoyed this first link with them. He was looking forward to 2019 and the return visit with his choir to Nottingham; he wished everyone well until then. He also thanked the choir’s Social Secretary, Mr. John Warsop for support for planning the visits.

from your Neighbourhood Beat Team.... Summer Holidays School’s out, flights booked, the summer holiday has begun! While you’re on your break away from home whether it is in the UK or abroad, thieves can use this period to take advantage of your empty home. Take a few steps to help keep your home safe while you’re away. Make sure all access points are secured with good quality locks or bolts. Lock all windows and doors and remove keys to a safe place when you leave the house. Don’t leave valuable items such as laptops and jewellery in view of windows and consider leaving important documents and valuable items with other family members while away. Make use of timer plugs with lamps and radios to make your house seem occupied. Try and let a trusted friend or neighbour know that you’re going to be away from home. You could ask a trusted neighbour or friend to collect post, open and close curtains. Cancel milk and newspaper deliveries if you have them. Think before posting statuses or commenting on social media about going on holiday. This could advertise to thieves that you are away. Make sure you have up-to-date contents and buildings insurance. Ensure that sheds and outbuildings are locked and secured. Use good quality locks on garages
and sheds (ensure latches and hinges undone easily from and where possible they are alarmed.
screws on cannot be the outside) ensure that
Finally, just before you actually set off it’s worth allowing a quiet couple of minutes on the doorstep to check you’ve done all you had to do and taken everything you need with you. Sun, Sea and Safety! When on your holiday, have a great time and follow this advice: As with everything, you are safest where there are other people and where it is well lit so plan your routes. Let someone know where you will be and when you are expected back. Don’t leave bags unattended or pockets open and unzipped. Take extra care in crowded areas as this is where pickpocketing is most likely to take place. Don’t have your home address showing on your luggage for the outward journey, we would advise putting this only on the inside of your cases. Keep note of numbers for the emergency services, the address of where you’re staying and your insurance provider. These could come in handy if you were to have an emergency.

Fancy fostering?
Do you have room in your home – and heart – to foster for Animal Accident Rescue Unit? With so many abandoned animals – especially cats - coming in, this local charity is running out of room to care for them. The ongoing lack of fosterers affects the charity being able to help, and rehome, further animals. If you can offer a short-term refuge in your home, to care for a cat or kitten until rehoming, Animal Accident Rescue Unit would love to hear from you. All you need is space in your home, common-sense and experience in looking after a cat or kitten. Fostered cats must be kept indoors for their own safety – so a secure haven inside your home is needed, and a pre-foster homecheck is always done. Plenty of support and advice are given by the charity. You could share your home with a loving rescue cat who would truly appreciate being in a foster home – like lovely Timmy (pictured). Reliable volunteers, who live in or around Nottingham, are needed – so if this sounds like you, please contact Animal Accident Rescue Unit on admin@aaru.org.uk, or leave a message with your details on 01159321555 and you will receive a reply as soon as possible.

Could You Guide the Way in Your Community?
National charity Guide Dogs is looking for volunteers in the Nottinghamshire area, who can give just a few hours a week to help a person with a vision impairment to get out of their home and into the local community. Provided by Guide Dogs, My Guide is a free and flexible service that helps people with sight loss to build confidence and take part in social and leisure activities, using a trained volunteer as a sighted guide. My Guide Volunteer Manager, Elizabeth Felgate says: “Volunteering just a few hours a week can make a real difference to a person with sight loss. By supporting somebody local to you, you can help them to increase their independence and rebuild their lifestyle. It is also a great way of making new friends and gaining skills.” My Guide client and volunteer, Kay was first introduced to My Guide when she qualified with her now retired guide dog Frankie. Kay needed help to free run Frankie safely and quickly found herself matched with a volunteer. She continues to use the service today, but is now a volunteer herself.

Dog Zones Introduced at Gedling Country Park Gedling Borough Council is to introduce dog zones at Gedling Country Park as part of ongoing improvements to make the park accessible to all. The 240 acre country park will have three zones; red, yellow and green. The red zones will be where dogs are not allowed to enter, the yellow zones will ask owners to keep dogs on leads and the green areas are where dogs can be let off leads but must be kept under control.
Helen@preventunwantedpets.co.uk reg charity: 702569
The plans will be presented to residents through the official Gedling Country Park Facebook page and the Friends of Gedling Country Park group for feedback. The zones were introduced after incidents in the park of dogs attacking the livestock and complaints of dogs not being kept under control in the park near the children’s play area.

Gedling Play Forum It has been a very busy month, both here in Gedling and in Parliament. At the time of writing we have seen another very successful Arnold Carnival, it was a great event with so many local community organisations taking part, including Help for Heroes, the Gedling Play Forum, and Arnold in Bloom, Friends of Gedling Country Park and so many more. Seeing the community of Arnold together and enjoying the live music and entertainment was fantastic. There are so many groups and organisations across the Gedling Constituency that are working together and making our communities better for everyone. A huge congratulations to everyone involved in making it such a fantastic event and I look forward to next year. Gedling Play Forum For this edition, I would like to focus on the amazing work of the Gedling Play Forum. For any of you that have attended public events across Gedling such as the Arnold Carnival then you would have seen just some of the great work they do. I believe that play is an essential part of every child’s life and is vital for the enjoyment of childhood. The Gedling Play Forum helps children from across the whole of Gedling to develop socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically. The Gedling Play Forum has a Resources Centre and provides a range of services to support our local community. These services range from providing
a scrap store to community play activities, from volunteering activities to workshops. Scrap Store – Gedling Play Forum stocks a wide range of recycled materials for creative play. Most of the materials/goods were originally destined for landfill but have been donated by companies for creative play. They also receive creative materials from schools, groups and local residents who no longer need them. Most of the materials from their Scrap Store go to local membership groups. These range from schools to families, from toddler groups to residential homes. They also use these materials for their free community play activities throughout our borough. The Craft Shop is open to all - The Craft Shop stocks a range of creative materials including paint, glue, clay, card, die cut shapes, pipe cleaners, trimmings and much more. To access the store you would need to become a member but it is very easy to join and get involved. Please see the details below for more information on how you can become a member. Donations - If you know of a company that could supply the Scrap Store with clean non-toxic materials that they can use for creative play please let them know. The Gedling Play Forum is able to provide so many great activities and so many events because of the donations it receives. Types of materials most needed include: new paper and card, fabrics, plastic mouldings, clean food trays, wool, end of lines and anything weird and wonderful that they can offer for creative play. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that is involved with the Gedling Play forum, you do so much fantastic work for children and families. You are truly appreciated.

Make Time for a Date Night A charity in Nottinghamshire is offering advice on how to make more time for your relationship. One in ten adults in the East Midlands says they “never” find dedicated time to spend with their partner and some only spend time together just once or a few times a year.
This is according to figures released by relationship support charity, Relate. The good news is that nearly half of people living in the East Midlands manage to spend dedicated time with their partner, such as a date night, once a week or more. According to the research, partners with children are considerably less likely to find time to spend together. Relate Nottinghamshire provides relationship support and says that spending quality time together is a key ingredient for a healthy relationship. “We are concerned that time-strapped couples, particularly those with young children, are struggling to find opportunities to enjoy each other’s company and we are offering tips for turning things around” Relate counsellor, Dee Holmes says “Relationships are good for our health and wellbeing so it’s important to make time for them throughout the year”.

walk in the park, a bike ride or a trip to the museum. Keep it fair. Write one list each of things you’d like to do together. Select any activities that appeal to you both, put them in a jar and pick them out randomly. Step out of your comfort zone. If your partner suggests a date idea that’s not completely up your street, don’t dismiss it immediately. Trying something that’s a bit of a challenge will let you see each other in a new light and you may end up loving it. Make it work for you. Some people like to try different things each time whereas others prefer a routine and have something they do together each week. If you’re low on time, try a date hour. This could be a coffee during the day while your kids are at a swimming lesson, an hour eating a meal together with no phones, and no TV just the two of you. Relate Nottinghamshire’s nonjudgmental services support individuals, couples, families, children, young people and friends to strengthen their relationships.
