Snow in March...well that’s not something we see every year. Here at NG Mags we are sick to death of the cold weather. Lets hope we have a great summer to compensate. Easter is very early this year so we have already started stuffing our faces full of chocolate. Our recipe page features a very gooey chocolate muffin if, like us, you are a chocoholic. And best still they are so easy to make! Enjoy. As always please keep in touch with any community news. We love to hear from you. Happy Reading Ali, Cat, Sarah & Helen

Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People celebrates the Year of the Snake with the launch of the 5th Nottingham Riverside Festival Dragon Boat Challenge! To celebrate Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake, Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People has joined with Gable Events to launch the fifth Nottingham Riverside Festival Dragon Boat Challenge. The 2013 Challenge takes place on Sunday 4th August as part of the annual Riverside Festival and is one of the largest and most eagerly anticipated team events in the region. Up to 50 crews representing companies, organisations, clubs and groups of friends from all over the East Midlands are expected to battle it out over the 200m race course on the River Trent at Victoria Embankment. They will all be seeking to knock South Nottingham College off their pedestal as reigning champions whilst raising muchneeded funds for the Hospice. The dragon boats, qualified helms and all racing equipment are provided and each crew is guaranteed a minimum of three races. Teams and spectators also benefit from
being part of one of the region’s largest family festivals with a bustling fair and vibrant mix of music, dance, crafts and food from around the world, staged by Nottingham City Council. Carol Lester, Director of Challenge organisers, Gable Events, adds; “The Challenge is a great chance to try something completely different, enjoy a fabulous day out and raise money for Rainbows. It is also a fantastic team building opportunity what better way to get to know what makes your colleagues and competitors tick? August may seem a long way off but we are expecting the Dragon Boat Challenge to be extremely popular this year so we strongly urge teams to sign up early in order to secure a place”. For further information and an entry form please visit: www.dragonboatfestivals.co.uk/ nottingham or call Gable Events on 01780 470 718.

Poor Self Esteem.. Lacking Self Belief.. Worn-out with Problems…….
Sometimes, problems come and go. If we have strong personal foundations, and are resourced enough, we are more likely to move on quickly. If we are lacking self-esteem or, we are dogged by unhappy experiences and limiting beliefs - perhaps from childhood experiences - we may not thrive so easily.

From Gurmit Kaur, Neighbourhood Inspector for Sherwood & Hyson Green Firstly let me start with some good news, overall crime is on the decline with 514 fewer crimes than this time last year. On the flip side of that there are some concerns regarding an increase in burglaries, mainly in the Berridge and Arboretum wards. Many of these are because people continue to leave doors and windows unlocked, while others are when entry has been forced. Student and multi-occupancy addresses are the main targets. We are carrying out regular patrols and using Neighbourhood Alert and letter drops to promote crime prevention and encourage residents to report suspicious incidents. But I urge you to be vigilant about your own security. Make sure you keep homes as secure as possible, even when you are in. In December 2012, dedicated beat manager PC Mark Tindall was able to identify a man suspected of robbery and possession of an imitation firearm. He directed Firearms police officers to arrest him and the suspect is currently remanded and awaiting trial. A number of reports were received of antisocial behaviour concerning a vehicle playing loud music in Quorn Road, Sherwood. The vehicle was thought to be involved in drugs supply. On 15 February four arrests were made and the vehicle was recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Four individuals are currently under investigation. Furthermore, and credit again to
local residents, another vehicle was reported to us as acting suspiciously. This resulted in the vehicle being stopped by officers and the driver being issued with a cannabis warning. In further good news for the Sherwood ward, the local contact point based beneath the library on Mansfield Road is now also being used by Neighbourhood Watch committee members. Each week we hold dedicated surgeries, with times and dates published in advance on the Nottinghamshire Police website and on the notice board outside of the building. See you there. Neighbourhood priorities Each quarter we agree new neighbourhood policing priorities with our communities at public meetings for each ward. During these meetings we review responses to our online surveys, recent crime trends and views from around the area. As a result, the following priorities were agreed for Neighbourhood Policing Areas. Sherwood: Antisocial behaviour around Sherwood and the Edwards Lane Estate. Berridge:Antisocial behaviour along Wiverton Road and The Pavilion. Arboretum: Street drinking within the Designated Public Place Order - Radford Road area. Each month we update our website to explain what we have done to tackle the issues residents have told us matter to them. Visit our website at: www.nottinghamshire.police.uk

Dorket Head Farm, Arnold, NG5 8PU Towards the end of last year, there seemed little hope that a dog rescued by Nottinghamshire animal charity, Animal Accident Rescue Unit (AARU), would find a new home for 2013. This volunteer-led local charity is not one to give up easily though … and success has followed with the dog being given a new forever home! ‘Rocky’ - a Golden Retriever-cross dog had a ‘rocky’ time indeed during 2012, having been neglected and left as a stray. After being rescued and cared for by fosterers at AARU, this fine eight year old is now enjoying life in his new permanent home.

To see Rocky in action for yourself watch his video on the YouTube website under ‘AARU Rocky’. The charity, however, currently has in its care plenty more affectionate cats and dogs who would equally love a permanent home. Please do pay them a virtual visit at www.aaru. org.uk or email admin@aaru.org.uk for details. All homes are checked prior to adoption. Animal Accident Rescue Unit is entirely run by volunteers spanning drivers, telephonists, fundraisers and fosterers – and more are always needed and welcome! Why not do something to help vulnerable animals like Rocky this year? Everyone has something to offer: whether it is office skills, fundraising, driving or offering a temporary or permanent animal home – all help needy local animals to safety and security. To discover how you can help – including by donating crucial funds to continue this essential work, email admin@ aaru.org.uk or by call 0115-931 4274. All other calls to the charity must be made using its Lifeline telephone number 0115-932 1555.

Exciting research project for families in Nottingham Do you have a child aged 2 years 9 months to 4 years 6 months? Does your child constantly move around, fidget and wriggle, not listen to you or talk too much? Is this behaviour difficult for you to manage at home during meal and play times or watching TV, and when you are out and about, shopping, or visiting? Researchers from the University of Nottingham are inviting local families to take part in an innovative research project with the chance to participate in parenting programmes designed to help you manage your child’s behaviour and improve family life. This will take just 1 to 2 hours each week for a period of 12 weeks.
Our next parenting programmes will begin in April 2013 To find out more and take part in a short interview to see if your family might benefit from participating, contact 07881 280369 or email Elvira.Perez@nottingham.ac.uk To advertise call 07800 633101 or email: info@ng5.org.uk

So what is 4G? Well 4G is a new mobile phone system coming soon to the East Midlands, offering a stronger signal with better services than the current 3G. It may however present a problem for your current digital TV service. With the far stronger signal, there is a possibility that if you are close enough to one of the transmitter masts, the signal will interfere with, or possible overwhelm your existing TV signal! The solution will be to fit special filters on the aerial and on each TV and recording device. The Government has promised some financial help with this, but just how far it will go is not certain. This does not affect satellite services i.e. Sky or Freesat, nor Virgin cable which consumers may have to turn to for their TV service, if the filters prove unsuccessful. If you would like to have more information on this, please feel free to call me Alan, TVconfused on 07973 375853

chorus roundup It is with the deepest regret that we announce the death of the dear and much loved President of Bestwood Male Voice Choir, Howard Leese OBE. Howard passed away peacefully on Sunday 17 February, in Kings Mill Hospital, surrounded by his wife Marjorie and other family members. Music was a significant part of Howard’s life, having been encouraged by his mother, a soprano soloist, to enter competitive music festivals with his treble voice, before joining church and chapel choirs. Howard joined Bestwood MVC in 1971. He conducted the choir on many occasions, including tours abroad, making many friends over the years. Howard was a true gentleman, in every sense of the word and will be very sadly missed by his family, choir members and all those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Lace City Chorus present Charity Cheque
Lace City Chorus, Nottingham’s premier barbershop chorus for women, were proud to present Macmillan Cancer Support with a cheque for £2500 on Wednesday 27th February 2013. The money was raised by the chorus at its Christmas Harmonies concert in December 2012. The concert was dedicated to one of their members, Gwen Cresswell, who had died in November after a long battle with cancer. “ We are sure Gwen was there in spirit when we performed, and are certain she was there when the cheque was presented, as she had previously been our Treasurer,” said a chorus spokesperson.
