He has performed across the globe in a variety of roles and musical styles from Mozart through to John Adams. He uses his voice and his skills as a musician on the piano and guitar together with his talents as a comedian and most of all communicator. This show goes from opera to pop and includes jazz; standards and even country and western along the way - everyone finds a song that they love in this show. Jonathan's anecdotes and comments on life resonate with his guests which often result in great hilarity shared by all.

SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

A CHARITY, Tastelife, has been set up to help support families struggling with eating disorders. Aimed at both sufferers and their carers, it was the brainchild of two Church of England volunteers, whose own families were deeply traumatised by the problem.

Tastelife offers courses run over eight weeks to help families with guidance on how to cope on a daily basis, and how to get onto the path of recovery. The courses are now on offer in 27 locations around the country, including Leicester and Hinckley.

A new course, Awareness of Eating Disorders will be delivered in schools to help young people understand more about their attitudes and behaviour towards food. More details at:

Help a toad to cross the road NEXT MONTH common toads all over the country will be on the move, heading back to the breeding ponds where they themselves were spawned.

Sadly, many will never make it, because of busy roads. If you like toads, you can help them by joining the Toads on Roads project. It keeps a sharp eye out for ‘migratory crossings’ on certain roads. It helps the toads to cross safely, by coordinating local Toad Patrols who will actively help the toads get across the road, and also putting up road warning signs for motorists.

Join thousands and organise a Muddy Puddle Walk with your nursery or family to raise money this spring.

This spring between the 13-19 May sees the return of the award-winning fundraising event for little ones– Peppa Pig’s Muddy Puddle Walk for Save the Children.

Last year families and nurseries that took part in the event helped to raise £225,000 for Save the Children’s vital work and since its launch in 2017, Peppa Pig’s Muddy Puddle Walk has raised almost half a million pounds.

This year the event is sponsored by The Entertainer (TheToyShop.com) and, to celebrate Save the Children’s centenary in 2019, the charity hopes that even more people will sign up, take part and donate.

Sign up for your free Muddy Puddle Walk Fundraising Pack! https://www.savethechildren. org.uk/how-you-can-help/events-and-fundraising/muddy-puddle-walk

Toads on Roads has been running for more than 20 years, and saved thousands of toads.

If you would like to know more, become a Toad Patroller, or register a toad crossing, please go to: https://www.froglife.org/whatwe-do/toads-on-roads

GOT AN ARTICLE TO SEND US? We are always on the lookout for local news.

Please send articles to: yourlocal@ openboxpromotions.co.uk

It's full of tips for a great walk indoors or out, fundraising ideas and fun activities to get your walkers ready for the big day. Everyone who takes part in a Muddy Puddle Walk will get a free Peppa sticker and a certificate to say a big 'Well Done!' from all of us at Save the Children as well as Peppa and her friends.

The World Wide Web – 30 years on THE WORLD Wide Web was invented 30 years ago this month, on 12th March 1989, by Tim Berners-Lee while he was working at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory.

His innovation – a global hypertext document system originally described by his superior as “vague but exciting” – was intended to help scientists share data across a then obscure platform called the Internet, but his decision to make the source code freely available meant it took on a life of its own and is now used by almost everyone with a computer.

He has never profited directly from his invention, but now spends much of his time trying to protect it from malign influences and is working on Solid, a project designed to provide “true data ownership as well as improved privacy”.

As a result of his original invention, Berners-Lee was named one of the 20th century’s most important figures by Time magazine, received the prestigious Turing Award for achievements in the computer sciences, and was honoured at the Olympics. He was also knighted by the Queen.

These sessions are still free of charge.

ROTHLEY/BIRSTALL BIRDWATCHING CLUB PRESENT; Tuesday, March 12th, 2019 at 7.30 p.m.

THE JOY OF THE SONG OF BIRDS

by Nigel Slater and Sandy Aitken Nigel always gives us an interesting evening, full of enthusiasm for his subject. This time he claims that his friend Sandy is an even more experienced wild life enthusiast than he is and also has a superb knowledge of birdsong, so we should be in for a real treat and get some useful tips on that often difficult to recognize birdsong.

The Rothley Centre, 12, Mountsorrel Lane, Rothley, LE7 7PR. Members free.

Visitors £2.50. Ample free car parking on site.

TABLE TENNIS Local club seeks new members 50 years + for Monday session 2.00pm to 4.00pm at Swannington Village Hall commencing March.

Cost £2.00 per session.

NEXT ISSUE OUT TUESDAY 19th MARCH

League update - We are sitting reasonably comfortably in mid table in Division 5 of the Leicestershire League in 7th place out of 9. To date, we have had 10 matches, which is why we may feel a little less comfy once our opposing teams catch up with the amount of games we've played. We've won 2, drawn 4 and lost 4. So many of those games have literally been on knife edges and could have gone the either way.

February Club Nights/Fixtures 21st February - Club Night 28th February - HOME fixture vs Heathcote Arms 3 Club Nights tend to be relaxed and quite often, we do a little bit of coaching with our league players. When players have lost, drawn or maybe even won, myself and Mick Sandham give the players practical advice on what they could/should have done.

We then usually move on to playing some friendlies amongst ourselves. League matches are a little more intense and require the room to be silent or very little ambient noise.

You are welcome along on any night so please pop along to see what we're all about. New players are welcome along at any time - regardless of standard.

Anyone who produces waste has a legal duty of care to take all reasonable steps to ensure their waste is disposed of in the correct way. If any fly-tipped waste is traced back to the household it came from, the householder can be fined or prosecuted.

Cllr Margaret Smidowicz, lead member for regulatory services said: “People need to take responsibility for their own waste and ensure it is disposed of correctly.

“If fly-tipped waste can be traced back to the household it came from, we’ll now be able to issue fixed penalty notices for a duty of care offence.

“It’s all part of the Council’s drive to prevent fly-tipping in the borough. Fly-tipping is a criminal offence and we will not tolerate it in Charnwood.

“Fixed penalty notices mean we can fine offenders more quickly than going through the courts when the fines are sometimes of a similar amount. It’s a much speedier process.



“However, we will continue to use the court process where appropriate.”

The fixed penalty notice for breaches of the ‘Duty of Care’ offence provides the Council with an alternative to prosecution in court.

A fixed penalty notice can be issued if: • Fly-tipped waste can be traced back to an individual who is found to have failed to take reasonable steps to ensure they transferred the waste to an authorised person • An unauthorised carrier is found to be carrying household waste that was directly given to them by the occupier of a domestic property Helen Baxter Activities Coordinator at the Foundation said “A traditional jumble sale is something I remember from my childhood. In our increasingly throwaway society it’s so important recycle and reuse unwanted items of clothing and bric a brac! Drop in to our fundraising event and enjoy a traditional rummage for a bargain at our ‘Bargains Galore, Jumble Sale! She added “your support at our events in much appreciated, tea and coffee, will be served by our fabulous volunteers at a small charge’

• An individual is found to have transferred their household waste to an unauthorised person at a site that does not have a permit or exemption • The cost of a fixed penalty notice is £400 but there is an early payment incentive of £280 if paid within 10 days.

People are reminded to only use a registered waste carrier to dispose of their waste. This can be confirmed by checking their paperwork. If you spotCongregational any fly-tipped waste, please Markfield C call the borough council on 01509 634563 or use our online reporting form www.charnwood.gov.uk/fly_tipping. o

Admission is ÂŁ2.50 for LRWT members, ÂŁ3 for visitors, children free, including refreshments.

Choir tours are not all work and no play! - there will be some sightseeing including trips to Cheddar Gorge, Bristol and a walking tour of Bath as well as some lovely meals together to look forward to!

Wednesday March 13th 2019 at 7.30pm

The choir have toured extensively - every two years alternating between European destinations and UK towns and cities including most recently Tuscany and Cornwall. Visit the website www.charnwoodvoices.org.uk/tours,php for more information about the choir's previous tour destinations.

AGM followed by Charnwood Lodge Leicestershireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last wilderness?

A talk by Neil Pilcher, Senior Conservation Officer, LRWT Neilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk will cover the snippets of history discovered about the reserve; management work on the reserve and why it is undertaken and the wildlife recorded there.

Last Orders Ladies and Gentleman!

Wildlife of Transylvania A talk by Jamie Gould Jamie is a naturalist and Park Ranger living in the Charnwood Forest area. His talk will explore the rich wildlife of the traditionally farmed landscape of the Tarnava Mare region in Romania.

Responsible drinking, surely that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something which needs to be highlighted to the over 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? Well, did you know that those aged 45-64 are the most likely to drink, while those aged 16-24 are the least likely to drink? With more and more people drinking alcohol in the comfort of their own homes rather than going out to public houses, measures may be misjudged or units not accounted for. This is why Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland are pleased to be working in partnership with Turning Point to deliver the Last Orders Project.

Wednesday May 8th 2019 at 7.30pm

The Last Orders Project has now been presenting workshops to groups of people for over 2 years. The informal approach and fun props makes the topic light hearted yet educational.

After all, who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smile at their friends wearing beer goggles?! The aim of the session is always to highlight units and safe drinking. The quiz gives some surprising facts and statistics, sparking a variety of conversations. People reminisce about holidays or celebrations when they may have had that one drink too many!

Charnwood Forest Regional Park A talk by Julie Attard, Charnwood Development Manager, The National Forest Company Charnwood Forest is one of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most significant landscapes, a priceless pocket of rich biodiversity, geological and archaeological heritage. This talk will highlight the latest research into this fascinating landscape and will also explain how a new ÂŁ3.9 million Landscape Partnership project, currently in development, will help people to explore, understand and care for it.

There are often people present at the workshops who are or have been affected by alcohol at some point in their lives. At the end of each session there is information on display about support services for the individual who is affected as well as their loved ones. We are also able to have confidential discussions with people either over the telephone or through a face to face meeting in order to signpost towards the support which they need.

If you are planning a health event or would like to arrange a Last Orders workshop for your group, please do not hesitate to contact Hollie Hughes on 07738820978 or email hollie.hughes@ageukleics.org.uk .
