Rothley & Soar Valley Lions Club this year will celebrate the 31st anniversary of their 10K Road Race, which attracts over 500 entries for this prestigious annual charity fund raising event.

This event is used by Rothley & Soar Valley Lions Club as one of their major annual charity fund raising events. Monies raised through the race entries and race sponsorship is donated to local charities such as Loros, Vista, Rainbows, The County Air Ambulance Service and other needy local causes.

The event has regularly proved popular with Running Club members. Over the years, however, we have seen an increase in local non-club members taking part, including a greater number of female runners.

Village residents turn out in force to cheer on the runners around the challenging 10K course and also gather at the finishing line in Woodgate. The Rothley 10K was rebranded as the Mattioli Woods Rothley 10K around 6 years ago. Having a very successful corporate Plc Company assisting has been a great help to raise the profile of the event.

Rothley & Soar Valley Lions, together with Mattioli Woods and Loros (who also celebrate their 31th anniversary this year) work together to make this event such a great success. Our thanks also go out to the support we get from our volunteer course marshals, water station staff, and many others.”

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople

perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Rothley & Mountsorrel areas and manager Michael Parr agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good

business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Michael a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Have you tried Bowls?

Soar Valley Rotary Club members were at WyeVale Garden Centre, Rothley on Saturday (16th) offering a free blood pressure check as part of Rotary’s Stroke and Health Awareness campaign with the Stroke Association.

The annual awareness day is run in partnership with The Stroke Association to help people better understand the relation between high blood pressure (hypertension) and stroke. It is estimated that 40% of the 150,000 strokes suffered by people in the U.K each year could be prevented. This condition can easily be controlled.

In all some 49 people took up the offer and whilst the majority had the reasurance of knowing that their blood pressure was normal, 20% had an abnormal reading and were advised to consult their GP. Organiser Dennis Kent said “It's fair to say that over the years, this event has prevented thousands of people suffering the sometimes fatal and often disabling consequences of a stroke.”

You can find out more about Rotary locally by visiting our website www.soarvalleyrotary.co.uk

The Club has been proud with the backing of the most recently with a refurbished kitchen, opened by local MP & Secretary of State Nicky Morgan.

President Richard Hilliar said “The Centre offers support and engages young people at the heart of the community, so we were shocked and saddened to learnt of their recent problems and when approached we were happy to donate £500 from our charity reserves towards the immediate cost of repairs and continue to support this excellent project.”

Last year the Canal & River Trust, which looks after Britain’s waterways, warned people that bread is ‘junk food’ for ducks. It can lead to excessive droppings, which spread disease, and if left to rot, can trigger noxious odours which can kill fish and encourage algae, as well as rats and mice.

SO – what DO ducks eat? Try corn, peas, lettuce and seeds.

Within days of the news reports of two break-ins at the local Youth Café, the Soar Valley Rotary Club responded with an immediate £500 to repair the damage and get it open again.

FEEDING the ducks is a pastime many of us enjoy.

Our speaker, David Bridge, is a retired geologist with much experience in the oil and gas industry. He served for many years with the British Geological Survey. It quickly became clear that his factual explanations were unbiased and could be respected. However it was equally clear  from what he said that there is an ever increasing requirement for gas in the UK and a diminishing reliability of supply into the future.

There was a near capacity audience at Woodhouse Eaves Village Hall, including 60 members and 31 guests. Dick Howard, our speaker finder and past Chairman, introduced our talk at the meeting on April 25th, saying that he had chosen this title as Charnwood Forest had been neighbour to so much “nasty” extractive industry that he wondered if fracking for gas might be yet another such neighbour.

On the other hand, his detailed explanation of the process of fracking to obtain a new supply of gas left few in doubt that the process was an expensive, messy and dirty business with many threats of pollution and disturbance, all for perhaps Talk by Dave Taylora 40 year supply.

THE MONDAY CLUB

ANSTEY. CROPSTON, THURCASTON AND ROTHLEY On Monday 9th May, the Club travelled over to Alrewas in Staffordshire, to visit the National Memorial Arboretum, which is the UK’s year-round centre of Remembrance and home to the iconic Armed Forces Memorial.

We were blessed with extraordinary, warm, sunny weather facilitating easy exploration and discovery of the many Memorial dedications. Many of the Members took advantage of the fifty minute Land Train with pre-recorded Commentary, which was a very pleasant and informative way of seeing the over 300 thought provoking memorials situated amongst lush and maturing woodland. Military and Civilian Associations are represented alongside tributes for individuals, rich in design and symbolism

and sympathetic to the landscape.

Alongside the richly displayed Memorials, we discovered the sad recognition of a Memorial entitled “Shot at Dawn”; reminding one of the gross miscarriages of justice of the many men branded as cowards for deserting the fields of war, who were later pardoned as being found to be suffering from Shellshock, and not responsible for their actions. This Memorial one hopes goes someway to comforting the families deprived of their loved one in such dreadful circumstances.

After having rewarded ourselves with lunchtime refreshment, we boarded the Coach and proceeded down to Dobbies Garden Centre, near Hinckley. This is a vast

centre stocking just about everything in the way of garden equipment, furniture and plants plus franchises belonging to Edinburgh Woollen Co., etc. After more exercise, we made our way to the Restaurant which was advertising enticing large scones filled with jams various, together with double cream and, of course, the very welcome cups of tea.

Thus fortified, after an extremely successful day, we then embarked for our journey home to Rothley, Thurcaston, and Cropston .

At our next Meeting on the 13th June in the Cropston Evangelical Chapel Hall, Station Road, we shall welcome Mr. James Craven from Queniborough to speak to us about “The History of Perfume”. If you would be interested in coming along to join with us, you will be most welcome. The Meeting starts at 2.00pm. for 2.15pm. For any further details please ring me on 0116 2363467 .

Bowls - A Fun Game

The game of bowls has been around for a long time. This picture was taken over 100 years ago and I am sure some of your readers will recognize the bearded man who was one of the greatest sportsmen this country has ever produced. He excelled at the highest level in several different sports.

The new season is getting underway and my bowls club is looking for new members. If you have ever fancied having a go at bowls, now could be the ideal time. Bowls is a very rewarding, sociable game and many enjoy the challenge of trying something different. We are have a club open day on Saturday 4 June but there is no need to wait until then.

If you would like to give bowls a try, please ring John or Carolyn on 2675947. We are a friendly club taking players of all ages and abilities and offering coaching where needed. Why not come down and have a go, with no obligation. We make no charge for introductory sessions.

And who is the sporting hero? If I tell you that he played cricket at top class level for a mammoth 44 seasons you will know he could only be W G Grace or W G as he was affectionately known. Less well known is that he was also leading figure in the world of bowls, founding the English Bowling Association in 1903 and captaining the England side for five seasons. A true legend.

Reminder that dogs must be microchipped DOG owners are being reminded that since 6 April, their pets must be microchipped or they run the risk of a £500 fine. A microchip is a small electronic device, which is the size of a grain of rice. The Dog Warden will implant it under the skin using a special gun. No anaesthetic is required and the procedure should cause no more discomfort than a standard vaccination.

Each microchip has a unique identification number, which is registered to the dog and the owner’s details are placed on a national database. This number can then be read when a scanner is passed over the chip, enabling the Dog Warden to search the national database to find the owner’s details.
