Help save nature with an hour and a cuppa - Count the wildlife that’s counting on you

EDITOR MIRIAM BENTLEY T: 0800 6446 150 E: editor@openboxpromotions.co.uk

More than half a million people are expected to watch and count their garden birds for this year’s RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch in January. The world’s largest garden wildlife survey, now in its 37th year, takes place on 30 and 31 January 2016. Since it began it has provided valuable information about the changes in numbers of birds using our gardens in winter.

SALES TEAM DAWN HARRIS T: 0800 6446 150 E: dawn@openboxpromotions.co.uk

Continuing declines include starlings and song thrushes, which have dropped by an alarming 80 and 70 per cent respectively since the Birdwatch began in 1979. There is slightly better news for the house sparrow, as its long term decline appears to have continued to slow, and it remains the most commonly spotted bird in our gardens. However, its numbers have dropped by 57% since 1979.

Daniel Hayhow, RSPB Conservation Scientist said: “Last year’s survey saw more than eight-and-a-half million birds spotted, making it another great year for participation. With over half a million people now regularly taking part, coupled with over 30 years worth of data, Big Garden Birdwatch allows us to monitor trends and helps us understand how birds are doing.

Norwood Press, Unit 1, Moore Road, South Leicester Industrial Estate, Ellistown, LE67 1EU

“As the format of the survey has stayed the same, the scientific data can be compared year-on-year, making your results very valuable With results from so many gardens, we are able to create a 'snapshot' of bird numbers across the UK. Once we know which birds are in trouble, together we can ensure that our garden wildlife will be around forever.”

NEXT ISSUE OUT DELIVERY DATE:

Thursday 17th December 2015

As well as counting their feathered friends, the RSPB is also asking participants to log some of the other wildlife they see in their gardens and green spaces such as hedgehogs, foxes, stoats and squirrels, to help build an overall picture of how important they are for giving nature a home.

DEADLINE DATE:

Wednesday 9th December 2015 Deadline and delivery dates are subject to change depending on how far we are ahead or behind.

Daniel added: “The threats to our wildlife means that it’s facing tough times. For example it is estimated that we’ve lost more than half of our hedgehogs in the last 50 years. We're going to include this part of the survey every year now, enabling us to monitor the distribution of our other wildlife as well as trends in bird numbers.”

The survey is part of the RSPB’s Giving Nature a Home campaign, aimed at tackling the housing crisis facing the UK’s threatened wildlife. The RSPB is asking people to provide a place for wildlife in their own gardens and outside spaces – whether it’s putting up a nest box for birds, creating a pond to support a number of different species or building a home for a hedgehog. The Big Garden Birdwatch is just one of the steps you can take to help nature near you. Wherever you live, you can help give nature a home.

For more information on Big Garden Birdwatch 2016 visit rspb.org.uk/birdwatch from October 1st.

The parallel event, Big Schools’ Birdwatch takes place during the first half of spring term next year. Further information can be found at rspb.org.uk/schoolswatch

ROTHLEY CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH ON

THURSDAY 26TH NOVEMBER 2015 at 5.45pm Rothley Churches in conjunction with Rothley Shopkeepers and Rothley Parish Council THE STARS COME OUT FOR ICONIC VILLAGE EVENT Following on from the massive success of the Rothley Christmas Lights event last year, the community has come together again to plan an even stronger event this year.

The Rothley Churches, Shopkeepers, Parish Council and village organisations have again swung into action to organise the event. Everyone is looking forward to an amazing evening when the lights will be switched on and the village will come to life. In addition to the Rothley School choir singing and all the shops being open, there will be stalls, entertainment, funfair rides, an array of food and drink and the chance to meet friends and raise money for local charities.

As well as the chance to bring the village together, the Rothley Lights event is also a great opportunity to remind everyone that Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus – the Light of the World.

We would encourage everyone to come to the village centre on Thursday 26th November from 5.45pm to enjoy a fantastic evening together” If people need further information or would like to take part in any way, please contact Tim Jackson on 07720 458626 or Simon Payne-Mivshuk on 0116 2301550.

Continuing Great Success of the Rothley Intellectual Talk Series.

Once again an audience of 41 people gathered at the Rothley Centre to hear Dr Michael Lynch, retired Modern History Lecturer of Leicester University, give an in depth analysis of yet another highly topical and relevant subject.

Following past talks on such intriguing subjects such as “The British Empire”, “The History of Governance of the UK”, “The Quoran”, and “Human Rights”, his latest in depth evaluation of “Putin’s Russia” was revealing, as he attempted to evaluate the Russian dilemma from both the Western and Russian perspectives. He explained that Russia, as a nation, have been trying to establish themselves, both nationally and internationally with varying degrees of success, over the past 100 years. Dr Lynch is much travelled and his evaluation, often from on-thespot experience, was most interesting.

The current talk series still has two subjects to run :On Tuesday, December 1st, 2015, he will give a talk on – “The Democratic Voting System”.

This will be a non-political talk and devoted to assessing the validity and shortcomings of the current system.

On Tuesday, February 2nd, the subject will be “The Magna Carta”.

The basis of British “Human rights” and most important to us as a nation.

Each will be held at the Rothley Centre, Mountsorrel Lane, Rothley, with a ticket price of £5 (Pay at the door). 7 for a 7.30 pm start.

Finish 9.30pm. approx. Tea/Coffee served in the interval.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Michael Parr feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done.

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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Rothley & Mountsorrel areas and Michael is finding that his 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.’ 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!

THE MONDAY CLUB

ANSTEY. CROPSTON, THURCASTON AND ROTHLEY Today’s speaker Mr. Roy Wood was welcomed by a very enthusiastic audience including several visitors. The intriguing title of the “Secrets of the Rich” caught considerable attention.

Roy’s professional experience covered 35 years in the wealth management sector, having worked for such industry heavyweights as Barclays and for the past ten years with St. James's Place Wealth Management of which he is now the Senior Partner. He specialises in providing solutions in the areas of Retirement planning, Estate and Inheritance Tax planning and Investment planning. The company was founded in 1991 by Mike Wilson CBE, Sir Mark Weinberg and Lord Rothschild His talk centred on various aspects of the above finance, all of which were aimed to make his current audience think about their financial circumstances in regard to making the most of their savings through Bonds to enhance their investment value and also, protection of the accrued wealth earned through home ownership and Bank Accounts.

Roy explained his advice in a simple and pleasing manner and endeavoured to answer the multitude of questions posed, leaving a certain amount of reassurance and determination to take action to improve the individual’s circumstances in the future. He stressed the point of making a new Will, Securing Joint Bank Accounts and joint Home ownership.

This was the last Meeting for this year, as next month we shall look forward to our Annual Christmas Lunch at the Birstall Golf Club, who have successfully cared for our needs over the past 11 years, together with pleasant seasonal choral entertainment.

The Monday Club will be back in January 2016 with another year of friendship and excellent speakers, not to mention a Coach Trip in May and a Strawberry Cream Tea in July. In the meantime we wish everyone in our Villages, the Blessings of Christmas, Good Health and Happiness.

It’s the final countdown!

The race is on for hats for The Big Knit 2015 There are just four weeks remaining to help Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland create as many little woolly hats as possible for Age UK and innocent’s Big Knit 2015 and to help older people stay warm and well in the winter.

For over a decade, budding milliners across the UK have been supporting Age UK and innocent’s Big Knit by knitting funky little hats as part of Age UK’s Spread the Warmth campaign.

Each winter, one older person dies every seven minutes because of the cold weather. With over a decade of support from knitters up and down the country, The Big Knit has raised vital funds to support local and national winter projects to help older people keep warm in winter.

Knitters in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland are being called upon to create little hats to adorn innocent smoothie bottles, which will be sold in stores nationwide from February 2016. For each be-hatted smoothie sold, innocent will donate 25p to help Age UK fund national and local winter projects. Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland is calling on local knitters to get as many hats as possible to them by the end of November 2015.

Last year alone, more than a million hats were lovingly created by knitters up and down the UK, with designs including a giant squid, fruit, soldiers, peas in a pod, cupcakes and an ice cream cone topped with a classic flake.

Happy 1st Birthday Team Anstey Amblers and Runners 30th October 2014 saw a small group of 14 people congregate around Anstey Library to see what this new group was all about.

Geoff Roberts (Captain) introduced the group to the joys of running the streets of Anstey not really knowing how well the club was going to take off! But with Geoff’s spirit and support of others, a year on and we have nearly 140 members which include experienced runners, beginners , walkers and runners that just wanted a bit more structure in their lives than a gentle jog around Bradgate Park on a weekend. The club has brought much more than that to all members. It has become a really friendly, sociable and extremely supportive group of friends that just keeps growing.

Our club nights now include: • Beginners running groups starting approximately every 12 weeks or so (next new one will be sometime January) • Run/Walk routes in and around Anstey for all abilities on a Monday/Tuesday/ Thursday evening • Strength and conditioning training for all abilities (once a month on a Thursday evening) • Athletic Track Nights • Cross Country running for all abilities Saturday mornings All members can choose to do as little or as much as they like. And you really will find that we have a wide range of abilities and a huge amount of support for everyone who gives it a go. www.teamanstey.co.uk

Charities which have benefited include LOROS, Rainbows, MacMillan, Prostaid, Age UK & the Air Ambulance and we have helped young people through Wishes 4 Kids, Rotary Youth Exchange. We also responded to international emergencies with disaster boxes and support Rotary’s drive to rid the world of polio “End Polio Recent grants include the Sorrel Youth CafĂŠ, Mountsorrel and the Carl Gunns Community Gym in Birstall.

Look out for Santa, give him a wave and should you wish to donate towards our work, we will be very grateful.

Helping Age UK This Winter Surviving Winter It’s difficult to believe that some of our neighbours still have to decide between heating and eating in the winter months, but over 51,000 local households are in fuel poverty and older people are at real risk this winter of cold-related illness and death. Our Surviving Winter campaign, in conjunction with Leicester Charity Link, is raising awareness and funds to help those most at need and most vulnerable this winter. Donations of the cost of a basket of groceries or a month’s heating cost can help local people survive this winter.

Some people give their Winter Fuel Allowance to help another older person more in need. Copies of our guide to keeping well and warm in winter are available from our Information & Advice helpline on 0116 299 2278, weekdays between 11am and 4pm. - You can donate at www.llrcommunityfoundation.org.uk/make-a-donation Making Christmas Special We are again supporting Leicester Hospitals to raise awareness of older people spending Christmas Day in hospital away from family and friends – and asking if you could donate a small gift bag (with a maximum value of £10) with a few treats for one of them on Christmas Day. Last year we made Christmas Special for over 800 patients with simple gifts of bed socks, hand lotion, lip balm, chocolates, biscuits and puzzle books.

Bags can be left at any of our shops, offices or resource centres by Friday 11th December. Please do not gift wrap items or include edible homemade gifts, electrical items, used books, DVDs or VHS tapes;Â denominational or religious material.

Raffle time! Tickets available!

Selling or buying tickets for our seasonal raffle is a fun way to raise money for Age UK – and you could even win a fabulous prize! • First prize: £10,000, a brand new Ford Fiesta • Second prize: £1,000 or a home entertainment system • Third prize: £500 or a new iPad • Fourth prize: £250 cash • Fifth prize: £100 cash The closing date for raffle entries is 15th December 2015 and the draw will take place on 22rd December 2015.

Unwanted Christmas gifts?

If you’ve received a gift that doesn’t fit, doesn’t match or doesn’t suit – please think about donating it at one of our shops across Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland! And if it did fit, did match and did suit but you already have one – might we please have the old one?

And don’t forget that if you’re getting new furniture before Christmas – or in the January sales – we could collect your old items FREE of charge. Just call us on 0116 299 2233.

Ticket 2 Tokyo Loughborough Unearths Potential Paralympians The recent Ticket 2 Tokyo Wheelchair Tennis talent ID day at Loughborough University saw players from across the region try their hand at wheelchair tennis as the search begins for potential GB stars for the 2020 Paralympics in Japan under the watchful eye of National Wheelchair Coach Martyn Whait and former Paralympian Jayant Mistry.

Martyn said “We had 11 new players...it was fantastic to see so many new players enjoying wheelchair tennis!”

The Midlands is becoming a real hotbed of talent for the sport, with 3 likely members of the GB squad for Rio 2016 coming from the area, and with a weekly junior wheelchair tennis squad now firmly established, it’s hope the next generation will be from this area as well.

Importantly, days like the one at Loughborough give aspiring athletes a chance to show what they can do in a sport that allows them to demonstrate their strengths. One of the junior players in attendance said “I loved it! I have played loads of sports, but never feel like I’m any good and often struggle to keep up. But wheelchair tennis has made me realise that I can be good at a sport, and everyone accepts me for me, not the girl who wears splints” and one of the parents added “I love to see them playing wheelchair tennis as they get to learn a new skill, exercise and yet not feel their skills are worthless in comparison with others around them”.

If anyone would like more info on wheelchair tennis, please contact Martyn at martyn@insideouttennis.com or on 07970 277338.

SANTA TICKETS SELLING FAST FIRST TRAIN NOW SOLD OUT The traditional combination of steam & Santa still has plenty of pulling power!

Festive trains on Leicestershire’s award winning Great Central Railway where families can meet Father Christmas are selling fast. In fact the first train has now sold out completely - two months before it is due to depart!

“Our Santa Specials have always been popular,” said GCR Marketing Manager Kate Tilley, “and last year was a record breaker in terms of the number of visitors.

“For children wishing to meet the man in the red coat and Mrs Claus, there’s nothing quite as magical as our Santa steam trains” Santa Specials and Santa Deluxe trains operate from the last weekend in November through to Christmas Eve with children receiving presents on the train which is hauled by a steam engine.

Advance booking is essential. You can arrange your ticket online at www.gcrailway.co.uk

Light up a Life LOROS is once again inviting people to remember a loved one at Christmas during this year’s Light Up A Life service.

In return for a donation, a light will be lit up in memory of a loved one on the LOROS Christmas tree, kindly provided by Palmers Garden Centre.

Visitors attending this year’s Light Up A Life will also be given a star to tie to the tree in the Chapel at LOROS, which they can write a personal message on.

There will be a Book of Remembrance at the service and on display in the Chapel afterwards. To attend this year’s Light Up A Life, which is sponsored by Morningside Pharmaceuticals Ltd, please visit: loros.co.uk/lual, call LOROS fundraising on: (0116) 231 8431/2 or email: fundraising@loros.co.uk Application forms to attend needed by 30th November.

77th Leicester (Bradgate) Scout Group.

After reading a recent article about the Soar Valley Community Food Project, the 77th Leicester (Bradgate) Beaver Scout Colony, based in Thurcaston, decided that we wanted to help and learn more.

As part of their Community Impact Staged Activity Badge, and over the last few weeks, the Beavers have been collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the food bank based at Rothley Baptist Church.

BIRSTALL’S EURO-BID FALLS SHORT Birstall Golf Club finished 15th in the European Golf Club championship, staged at Minthis Hills G C in Cyprus.

The club qualified to represent England at the event by winning the English title against over 30 other counties at Brancepeth Castle, County Durham at the end of September. It qualified for that event by winning the Corah Shield earlier this summer.

On the evening of October 12th, we took our collected items along and spent a very informative hour with Tim Jackson, Project Coordinator, learning all about the need for this facility within our local community, and how and why the food bank helps.

In Cyprus they faced clubs representing 24 other countries over three rounds, with the best two scores in each round counting towards the team’s total.

Our pictures show the Beavers sorting and storing their collected items, and chatting with Tim about the help offered.

Jack Merry fared best of the Birstall players, finishing tied 32nd with rounds of 78, 72 and 72 (nine over par), with Steve Sansome (76 72 75 – 10 over par) tied 34th and Scott Wormleighton (77 81 74 – 19 over par) tied 50th.

Our grateful thanks go to Tim for allowing our Colony to become involved, in this small way, in the vital service that he helps to provide, and for helping them to become more caring and aware young people.

Overall winners were the Racing Club de France, ahead of Royal Park I Roveri (Italy) and Hubbelrath Golf Club (Germany).

Charity Whist Drives Charity Whist Drives are held on the 1st Thursday of every monthat 7.30p.m at the Rothley Centre, Mountsorrel Lane, Rothley. Admission £2.00. Large free car park

All players welcome
