PRINTED BY

The Oddments Theatre Company brings ‘The Hiding Place’ the inspirational and heart wrenching testimony of Corrie ten Boom, to life in their latest production.

NORWOOD PRESS T: 01530 262020 E: info@norwoodpress.co.uk W: www.norwoodpress.co.uk

Corrie, born on April 15, 1892 in Haarlem, Holland, and her Christian family are outraged at the German occupation in the Second World War, and the constant persecution of the Jewish community. Her sister, Betsie, and father, Casper, join Corrie and thousands of others in the unceasing resistance of God’s underground. Their refusal to stand by and watch the Nazi’s horrendous onslaught, and their faith that prevails throughout their subsequent suffering of the Second World War’s darkest terrors, continues to inspire all of those who encounter Corrie’s incredible story. Rated 5 stars by audience members, you will not be disappointed by this passionate story of God's love and hope in amidst an environment of darkness and brutality.

Festival of Archaeology

Leicestershire & Rutland Festival of Archaeology 2019 You are invited on 29th June - 28th July to join in the 2019 Leicestershire and Rutland Festival of Archaeology.

The Mountsorrel REVIVAL is set for a record breaking 6th Year on Sunday 11th August. Thanks to continued local business support and extra support from the Parish Council the organisers are providing new attractions.

It’s set to be a brilliant event in 2019 and unbelievably, it’s still free to visitors!

Some of the new attractions include more music such as steel band and Sambando in the parade, more for young people to do such as an assault course, laser quest, donkey rides and go-karts for the younger members, and more ways to join in such as the dog show (now also with agility section), competitions to enter, and a fun run.

For a full list of What’s on see their website at:

the-mct.co.uk/whats-on For those that come by car, parking will be off Sileby Road near its junction with the by-pass (access only from the bypass). Blue badge parking will also be available both off Sileby Road and at the new Mountsorrel Memorial Centre.

To keep REVIVAL safe for all visitors the following Roads will be closed from 10:00 to 17:00. Sileby Road from its junction with the Market Place to just short of the bypass junction. Watling Street from its junction with the Market Place for about 35 metres and the Green on both sides from its junctions with Leicester Road to the Navins. Also, the Main Road will be closed from Bond Lane along the old A6 to the Green (to its junction with Leicester Rd) for 30 minutes from 12:00 to 12:30 for safe passage of the Parade & Fun Run. Buses which normally use the Green and Rothley Road will be diverted along Leicester Road and Bier Way. One bus in each direction scheduled during the parade will use the bypass and Bier Way. Finally, did you know that behind the scenes REVIVAL is organised by very small number of people and sadly without support, this may be the last event? If you’d like to help secure the future of REVIVAL, all you need to be able to do is attend monthly meetings (usually on a Monday evening) and have a can-do attitude. No other skills are required.

If you can’t commit regularly but would still like to help, the MCT always needs assistance on the day either before, during or after the event. Call 0797 2313 897 or complete a volunteer form at: the-mct.co.uk/volunteer-to-help to find out more.

For the first time a month-long chance to discover more about the rich and diverse heritage of Leicestershire and Rutland. The Festival has a fascinating range of activities, events, talks and guided tours from some of the county’s archaeological and historical experts.

Local groups will show you their own discoveries and invite you to become involved in making the next great discovery!

The Festival in Leicestershire and Rutland is financially supported by Leicestershire Fieldworkers; Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society; Leicestershire and Rutland Heritage Forum; CBA East Midlands; Leicestershire Industrial History Society; The Friends of Jewry Wall Museum; Hinckley Archaeological Society; University of Leicester Archaeological Services.

Edward Argar MP Member of Parliament for Charnwood I thought it would be helpful to provide readers of the Local with an update about the worrying number of collisions that have taken place in recent months at the A6 roundabout for Mountsorrel and Rothley. I know that this location has been of concern to local residents, and Mountsorrel's Borough Councillor, Leigh Harper-Davies, who has campaigned for action on this issue.

As many of you will be aware, this roundabout, and particularly at the top of of the slip-road heading towards Loughborough, has been the site of a significant number of accidents, of varying degrees of severity, over recent months. The root cause appears to be the layout of this junction and overgrown hedges leading to drivers having difficulty seeing cars approaching as they pull out on to the roundabout. When doing so, and faced with on-coming traffic they had no visibility of, often the only escape route for drivers can be the roundabout itself, and we have seen on many occasions the smashed road signs that testify to this, and which frequently have to be replaced and repaired.

I share the concerns expressed by local people, and by Councillor Harper-Davies who has lobbied the County Council on this matter, and have taken the matter up with LCC myself as Mountsorrel's MP. In my representations to the Council's Director of Highways, Ann Carruthers, I made clear my view that action was needed - in the short term to tackle the visibility issues arising from the overgrown hedge, but also the need for the overall layout of the slip-road/junction to be reviewed in the longer term.

With the heavy volumes of traffic using this junction it is vital that steps are taken to make it safer and to fix this issue, and I am fighting for concrete steps to be taken by LCC for the people of Mountsorrel and Rothley, and for all those road users who use this junction.

I will, of course, update readers of the Local with any updates from the County Council on this important issue, and I, alongside Councillor Harper-Davies will continue to press LCC to take action to solve the problem.

More widely, as ever, if there is anything you feel I can be of assistance with, then please don't hesitate to contact me by email at: edward.argar.mp@parliament.uk or by post at: Edward Argar MP, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA."

Birstall Food Hub Birstall food hub is having a coffee morning Saturday 13 July 10 -12 at Methodist Church, Wanlip Lane, Birstall.

The proceeds will fund fresh goods we buy to include in parcels - bread, milk, eggs. Come and enjoy a cuppa and chat. There will be plants, crafts, cakes, tombola and books.

Hope to see you there

The Family Obstacular - a Big Day Out! BRADGATE ROTARY’S Family Challenge Day takes place on Sunday 15th September.

The Family Obstacular or Family Funtacular will be taking place in a new location in the Charnwood Forest. Fun and Family are the key words, this is NOT a mud, blood guts and glory event, but something to bring out the competitiveness without the pain while raising funds for some of our local charities.

Alongside the challenges, there will be opportunities to enjoy a day out with stalls, bouncy castle and food options. Not everyone will need to take part in the challenges to appreciate the day, but we suspect you might want to anyway.

So pencil on the family calendar the date and watch this space for more details of the Family Obstacular on Sunday 15th September.

The Charnwood Gardener

Watermead Hardy Annuals and Holy Matrimony Challenge 2019 Charity Run

I’m getting married this month (gulp), and at some point, between the moment of proposing and now, I apparently took leave of my sense and volunteered to grow all the flowers. What was I thinking? Never mind my speech and the first dance - the need to have fresh blooms ready for midsummer has been nerve-wracking.

Watermead Challenge charity run reaches the milestone of it’s tenth year in 2019.

The run is on the flat tracks around the lakes of Watermead Park near Syston. It is over both 3 and 5 mile distances.

Watermead Challenge 2019

Now it''ss 10tin A charity h 5 mile run & year 3 mile run Now with

chip tiiming!

• Larkspur - Annual Delphiniums with the most beautiful and abundant blooms. Would be great to fill gaps in a mixed border. ‘Giant Imperial Mixed’ is a hit.

Race Director Chris Battye of the 2n 2019, 7pm a W rmead Country Par organisers, Wreake Syston Leicester LE7 1PD (north entrance) Valley Rotary Club, Sponsored by commented:� the Presented by Presented by Wreake run is an increasingly Valley Rotary Club Supporting popular event which • John Walls Renal Unit at LGH • Abigail Herus of Syston • Leicestershire Life Education Entry Details at appeals to runners of www. w.wreakevalleyrotary. y.org.uk k Entries accepted until 6.30pm on the nigh ht. all abilities and offers the opportunity to achieve a personal best time.

In 2018 we had over 400 runners taking part. This year the run is supporting three worthy local causes: the Renal Unit at Leicester General Hospital, Abigail Herus a teenage cancer sufferer from Syston and Leicestershire Life Education (a childrens’ health education charity).�

• Cornflowers - An old favourite but so pretty if a mixed-colour cultivar is chosen. Remarkable difference with autumn sown plants – they’re almost over my head!

The event takes place on Tuesday 2nd July 2019 at 19.00 hours with access to Watermead Park via the north entrance near the Hope and Anchor public house.

• Cerinthe major (Honeywort) - I've never seen as many bees in one place as when my honeywort started flowering. Intriguing, drooping, intensely purple flowers.

Full entry details can be found at www.wreakevalleyrotary.org.uk.

I had little previous experience with cut flowers and it’s been a steep Honeywort learning curve. But (and I won’t say it too loudly in case they hear me) all the flowers are doing remarkably well and, aided by a mild winter and an early spring, should be ready just in time.

So, based on my recent horticultural adventures, here are some recommendations for fantastic cut flowers. All those listed below are hardy annuals and were sown direct or planted out in the autumn, giving them a real head start on spring sown flowers. Here are the best performers:

• Linaria maroccana (Toadflax) - Started flowering in March and are, sadly, already past their best, but had to have a mention because they’re just so lovely. Lots of cultivars available – all pretty versions of the plant that often appears as a weed. ‘Licillia Azure’ was particularly impressive.

JULY TIP – At this time of year it's useful to be reminded that the garden isn't just about hard work. Grab a deck chair and a gin and tonic, and go and sit amongst the blooms.

It’s a Trilogy for Lindzi Last year we reported local author, Lindzi Mayann, launched her sassy debut book, Maga High. And we’re pleased to announce it made such a splash she has gone on to release both the prequel and sequel to that original story!

Lindzi said the positive feedback about her main character, Jodie, and the call to know what she did next spurred her on to write the sequel, Educating Jodie, which was published in 0ctober 2018. It tells of Jodie’s return to the UK from Magaluf and features her embarking on a new job in Specialist Behavioural Education!

As fans of Lindzi’s work will now know, it can be expected that the sequel is full of shocks, humour and naughtiness as well as the usual warm themes of friendship and learning many of life’s trickier lessons.

Pub Life, the prequel, was penned in 2017 but published just this year and introduces Jodie pre-Magaluf.

Lindzi explained that when the initial reviews called for more about what happens to Jodie after Magaluf, she decided not to release the prequel and instead write the sequel. But since interest in Jodie has developed, so have the requests to know more about her protagonist- where did this all really begin?

Maga High- an entertaining read with a saucy, summery vibe- is set in Magaluf and features Jodie on her first girls holiday. The wild adventure she finds herself on repairs her following a bitter relationship breakdown and thanks to its craziness yet relatability, the book has been well received over 2018;

In Pub Life, the prequel, Jodie is still a waitress, recently single and living back home with her lovely but worrier mum. She knows she should make more changes but what, a new job or her own home? Between working and drinking at her local she finds entertainment and distraction enough and she embarks on new relationships with varying consequences.

New interests and hobbies, new friends- and enemies, a new job, life-lessons! Now you can finally find out exactly what provokes Jodie to

Space Chase, Summer Reading Challenge 2019 The Summer Reading Challenge 2019 theme is Space Chase, an out-of-this-world adventure inspired by the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Children taking part in the Challenge will join our super space family, The Rockets, for a thrilling mission to track down books nabbed by mischievous aliens!

The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six library books during the long summer holiday.

Children's reading can 'dip' during the summer holidays if they don't have regular access to books and encouragement to read for pleasure. The annual Summer Reading Challenge helps get three quarters of a million children into libraries each year to keep up their reading skills and confidence. The Challenge celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

How it works - Children can read whatever they like - fiction, fact books, poetry, joke books, picture books, audio books - just as long as they are borrowed from the library.

Children receive special rewards each time they finish a book and there's a certificate for everyone who completes the Challenge.

The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all primary school aged children and is designed for all reading abilities. Schools work with local libraries and give out information to encourage children to take part, and most libraries run Summer Reading Challenge linked early years activity for pre-schoolers.

Throughout the Summer Reading Challenge, library staff and teenage and adult volunteers support children, helping them to discover new authors and explore a wide range of different types of books. The Challenge will launch in libraries in England and Wales on Saturday 13 July 2019.

jet off- and not return!

Lindzi admits the process of writing, editing and publicising has been tough but she has loved (almost) every moment of her journeycelebrating the wins and learning from the fails. Lindzi explains that writing the stories seems to be the easy part when compared with the effort it takes to promote her work afterwards.

She hopes the diverse themes of her books will continue to drive interest and support for her stories. Notably the prequel and sequel aim to raise awareness of the challenges faced by parents of children with autism, with the characters of Cat and her family being further explored.

Lindzi recently started her blog- covering everything from travel, to events such as obstacle runs and comedy festivals! She is keen to support local charities, authors and businesses and encourages people to contact her to discuss opportunities for collaborations and for written content.

All of her books are available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats. Visit Lindzi’s new website www.lindzi.co.uk to find out more. Happy Reading!

Win a copy of Maga High!

For your chance to WIN a signed copy of Maga High follow Lindzi’s blog or any of her social media profiles- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and share ONE or more posts to be in with a chance of winning. All entrants will receive a confirmation message from Lindzi and the winner will be announced on July 31st. Good Luck!

ROTHLEY & MOUNTSORREL

POLICE MATTERS

On 14th May the Friends of the Charnwood Forest had booked a visit to the gardens of Stoneywell Cottage. There were two parties – a 10.30 group and another at 11.30. We duely arrived at the car park, met the ‘Stoneywell bus’, and were driven to the reception office. There we were met our guide and were shown around the garden, although we did not enter the adjoining wood.

Welcome to ‘Police Matters’ from the Rothley and Mountsorrel Dedicated Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Crime Prevention Advice - Don't let green fingered thieves spring clean your shed.

Many people take a great deal of trouble securing their house and the property within it...but what about sheds and garages? With the array of lawnmowers, power tools, garden equipment, bicycles, sports and other valuable equipment kept in them, security measures should certainly be put in place.

Property - Gardening tools and garden furniture are not cheap - what's more they are very saleable items for the thief. Don't make it easy for them to be stolen and remember that tools stolen from your shed could be used to burgle your house.

Protect your garden equipment from opportunist thieves Put tools and equipment away after

The Gardens at Stoneywell

use

Always lock shed or garage doors behind you and remove the key from the lock Ensure garage doors are closed and valuables are out of sight Install an alarm and security lighting on your shed or garage to act as a deterrent Prevent easy access to your shed, garage or allotment with locked gates, fencing or prickly hedges Check shed frames and fence panels and replace if damaged or rotten Mark your postcode and house number on property with UV pens or paint Gravel paths make it harder for a thief to approach unnoticed Register your belongings with www.immobilise.com

Leicestershire Police

➢

Postcode or property mark anything in your shed or garage that is value and might be stolen, for example, lawnmowers, garden furniture, bicycles, sports equipment.

➢

Take photographs of expensive items - they may be useful to police to identify the goods and return them to you, should you be unfortunate enough to have them stolen.

➢

Never leave garden tools and equipment outside, even if you are just popping back into the house. It only takes minutes for an opportunist thief to take them.

➢

Consider fitting a pair of garage door locks that are fitted either vertically or horizontally and can be locked both from the inside and outside of the garage.

We’d like to meet you - Please check the Leicestershire policing website for dates and venues for our forth coming beat surgeries.

The next beat surgeries will be held on: Wednesday 26th June between 15:00 and 16:00 at Anstey Beat Office Monday 8th July between 11:00 and 12:00 at Newtown Linford Police Box Thursday 11th July between 10:00 and 11:00 at Rothley Library Monday 15th July between 10:00 and 11:00 at Anstey Beat Office Monday 29th July between 10:00 and 11:00 at Anstey Nook Corner Cafe Please report any suspicious activity at the time by calling 101. Please ring 999 if you believe a crime is taking place. If anybody has any information about the recorded crimes then please speak with your local officers, or if you have any information at all about crime please call CRIMESTOPPERS. Your call will always be free, we won’t ask your name and you may even receive a cash reward.

The last occupant of the house and his wife were both keen gardeners. When the house was constructed in the late 19th century the designer – a Mr Gimson – had intended it to be a summer-only residence surrounded by a wild countryside, although he had to make some allowance for access purposes and maintenance. The last Mr Gimson changed all that. He and his wife converted the grounds into a sort of arboretum, lined with rhododendrons and several other flowering shrubs and small trees. Although his wife kept detailed notes of the garden, unforunately she did not record the detailed layout of the various plants, so now the rhododendrons are having to be identified by experts.

Given this short-coming, the layout was such that any visitor at any time of the year would find the gardens in bloom. Where the rocks made tree-planting impossible there were heathers. We were shown all sorts of flowering plants, plus a tennis court, which was the ‘in thing’ in those days. We saw the area which had been created as a vegetable garden - to make the house as self sufficient as possible – but did skip the luxury of viewing the rows of carrots and potatoes which are still grown there.

When we finished the tour there was the cafe and tea to revive us. We learnt that Mr Gimson, now aged 95, has recently visited the garden as a birthday treat from his son.

It was a very pleasant experience.

Resident delighted with £2,000 HATS, VICAR OF win on lottery!

DRIBLEY A HUGE SUCCESS

One lucky resident has won £2,000 thanks to playing the Charnwood Community Lottery. The lottery is run by the borough council and helps raise money for good causes, charities and voluntary organisations.

Donna Worship from Birstall said she couldn’t believe it when she found out she had matched five correct numbers and won £2,000. Donna said: “I was so shocked when I found out I’d won £2,000 on the lottery. It’s my second win since I started playing as I also won three tickets the week before.

Highcliffe Amateur Theatrical Society had a resounding success with their performance of the Vicar Dribley performed at the Birstall Social Club recently.

“I support the Bradgate Park Trust with my ticket as it’s a beautiful part of our community and I enjoy visiting there with my family. It’s nice to know that I’m helping a worthy cause.”

For every £1 ticket purchased, 60p goes towards helping good causes in the borough and people can choose which good cause to support when buying their ticket. Cllr Deborah Taylor, the Council’s lead member for communities, said: “The lottery is helping to raise lots of money for a wide range of good causes which do great work for the benefit of residents.

“Many players have already won free tickets and cash prizes, but Donna is our biggest winner to date. I’d like to congratulate her and thank her for supporting good causes in the borough.

“I’d also encourage any good causes in the borough who would like to raise some extra funds to think about registering for the lottery. It’s not too late to sign up and join us!”

Bradgate Park Trust is one of around 50 good causes signed up to the lottery. There’s a range of different causes registered including community libraries, sports clubs and community centres. Local causes are still able to register for the lottery by visiting www.charnwoodlottery.co.uk.

Peter Tyldesley, director of the Bradgate Park Trust, said: “First of all I’d like to thank Donna for choosing to support the trust through the lottery and say huge congratulations on her win.

2 nights were a complete sell out, and the 3rd night not far short of a sell out. The Cast entertained the audience from the start right through to the very end, with lots of laughter, confusion and fabulous acting.

The audience members, both new and old were appreciative and gave a rousing reception

“There’s no cost to us to be part of the lottery and the money raised is used to help us feed our herd of 600 deer during the winter months. One person supporting the trust by playing the lottery for a year covers the cost of feeding one deer which is £26.”

The top prize in the Charnwood Community Lottery is £25,000. People can sign up to play the Charnwood Community Lottery by visiting the website www.charnwoodlottery.co.uk.

Keep those knitting needles clicking for the Big Knit!

The Big Knit campaign continues throughout 2019 and Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland is calling on Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to keep knitting or join in for the first time!

Now in its 15th year, the campaign still needs to recruit more knitters to help create an impressive 1.6 million hats nationwide to adorn innocent smoothie bottles. For each be-hatted smoothie sold, Age UK receives 25p, and that money helps the Charity support older people who are facing later life alone.

Tony Donovan, Executive Director of Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland said: “We need local people to join us and help knit another 26,000 miniature hats to help us hit our huge 80,000 local target by July 2019 (even though the campaign continues all year round). It’s such a fun campaign to get behind and it does so much to help older people in our area.

“The money raised will make a big difference to the lives of older people by funding our hugely important services and classes. These services, which include Day Care, dementia support, Men/Women in Sheds and befriending amongst so many others, give local older people the chance to come along and make friends, learn new skills and most importantly have fun.”

For more information on The Big Knit contact Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland on 0116 2992233 or visit https://www.ageuk.org.uk/leics/. Please send completed hats to Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland at Lansdowne House, 113 Princess Road East, Leicester LE1 7LA or hand them in at any of our 24 shops or Resource Centres.

This year’s hat knitting patterns are available to download - to find out more visit: www.ageuk.org.uk/bigknit or pop into any of our addresses to request a leaflet

throughout the show and at the end.

Reviews included the following.

Penny Ford “ Absolutely brilliant, loved every minute”.

Charles Family “ Amazing show, such a laugh, can’t wait for the next show, everyone was brilliant”.

The proceeds of the raffle raised a fabulous £234.00 for Comic Relief. The next show will be the Pantomime, which will be performed towards the end of November. Keep your eyes open for the details and hope to see you then.

Supported Lodgings Supported Lodgings is a valuable accommodation option available to young people transitioning from the care system to more independent living. It is family-based support within the homes of members of the community who are willing to provide a spare room to a vulnerable young person aged 16 to 21 who cannot live with their own families and who are not yet ready for independent living.

Our service recruits and trains people who can provide appropriate accommodation; this means the young person will have their own room and use of shared facilities.

Bradgate Drama Society The drama society has recently celebrated its 70th. anniversary having been a central feature of village life in Newtown Linford over that period, performing a huge range of productions from high drama to low (sometimes very low) comedy with even the occasional foray into music and dance.

In recent years, however, our membership has shrunk as people have moved away or decided that their acting days are behind them. In order to continue we need to recruit new members to augment our small but talented band.

Have you got a latent desire to show off in public, dress up in silly costumes and forget your lines in front of an audience which includes all your best friends? Alternatively perhaps you’re the sort of person who can wire a plug, hammer a nail in straight or paint scenery and would enjoy seeing a bunch of egomaniacs dressing up, forgetting their lines etc. In either case you’d probably have a great time by coming to join us in the Bradgate Drama Society and ensure that we can continue to entertain the people of the local area as we have in the past.

We’ll be casting for our 2019 Christmas production in September and are looking for new talent both on and off stage to help make this our biggest and best Christmas production ever. Think you can do it? Well why not come to our open evening on Wednesday 3 July at Newtown Linford Village Hall, starting at 7.45p.m., partake of a glass of wine and have a chat. Alternatively you can contact either Andi Hastie (07939 156982, bradgatedrama@ gmail.com) or Peter Upton (7713 893732, petergupton@btinternet.com ) - it could be the start of a whole lot of fun!

THURCASTON AND CROPSTON OPEN GARDENS 2019 THIS YEAR’S Open Gardens event in the villages of Thurcaston and Cropston will take place on the weekend of 29th and 30th June 2019, 2 pm to 6 pm. This year the money raise will be going to local The Air Ambulance.

A spokesman said: “We have large a number of very varied gardens for you to visit across the two villages; some large, some small, some immaculate, some very much less so!

Some are new gardens, and some have taken part before. But all for you to enjoy.�

Gardens will be open from 2pm – 6pm on both days. Tickets are £4 each (accompanied children and wheelchair users free) and will be valid for both days. They can be purchased on the day from any of the signposted Open Gardens. Look for the fuchsia coloured balloons!

Tea and cake will be available at various locations as well as ice-creams, and several gardens will be selling plants.

For more information about this event please have a look at the web site www.tcog.org.uk or contact Linda on 0116 2363872 or email linda@tcog.org.uk The spokesman said: “It is often said how welcoming our gardeners are and they would love you to come and see all their hard work. Please put the date in your diary now, then come along with your family and friends to support this great community event and help us raise money for this very worthwhile cause. We look forward to seeing you!� www.tcog.org.uk
