At Glebe Infant School, in Year 1/2, the children have been learning all about castles – what they look like, why they were built and who lived there.

As part of this, the children have had the opportunity to visit Raglan Castle and build their own junk model castles.

However, the staff really wanted the children to understand what it was like in the court of medieval kings and queens and so a banquet was held in the school hall.

The children came to school dressed for the occasion – there were knights and princesses and the odd peasant in attendance. The host for the banquet, King Larner, was entertained by dancing ladies and jousting knights, and a range of traditional foods was on offer.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have written the most amazing accounts of the feast.

Get out and about

If you are anything like me, you spent an awful lot of time during the last couple of months sat indoors in front of some kind of screen or device, however, thanks to the warmer temperatures and longer days, I feel more and more compelled to go out and embrace the wonderful outdoors.

I'm not the sportiest of people, the gym isn't really for me, but ask me to go on a walk and 9 times out of 10 I'm up for it. Walking is a great way to exercise - it helps you blow away the cobwebs (and burn off all those chocolate Easter eggs), and best of all - it's free! Whether you have a wander around your neighbourhood, visit the park or spend a day in the countryside, you can be sure to be doing your body a favour. If you get tired easily and need support while walking, check out Linden Leisure's fantastic range of walking and seat sticks (p.11).

CONTACT US If you are a resident, a distributor or want to contact us about what's included in the magazine call Anne on 01242 388 366 or email Anne@lovelocalmagazines.co.uk If you are an advertiser with us now or would like details about advertising, call Lorraine on 01242 388 368 or email Lorraine@lovelocalmagazines.co.uk We look forward to hearing from you! www.newentmagazine.co.uk

Another great way to enjoy some exercise and fresh air is gardening. Whether you are pressure washing the patio, cutting the hedge or mowing the lawn, both your garden and your body will thank you for it, even if the latter may not feel like it straight away. You will also get a great sense of achievement and peace of mind - that is until it all grows back at least...

Finally, if you just fancy going out and enjoying yourself - there's a fantastic range of events and festivals taking place in and around the area this month, and if all these days out leave you feeling inspired and you enjoy writing, check out the Gloucestershire Writer's Network Competition on p.14.

Local charities join forces for Forest of Dean prostate cancer test

The Cotswolds Prostate Cancer Support Group charity and the Cheltenham and Severn Dean branch of Lions International are teaming up once again to organise a free public prostate cancer blood test, this time at Dene Magna School, Abenhall Road, Mitcheldean, GL17 0DU, on Tuesday 28th May. They've worked together successfully before, to make more people aware of prostate cancer. At their last test event, over 430 men were tested, and more than 40 cases were picked up as needing further investigation for prostate cancer, some of which led to prompt and possibly life-saving treatment.

Prostate cancer's the most common cancer in men and accounts for around 11,000 deaths in the UK every year. One in eight men will get it, www.caplebanks.co.uk but the risks are even higher for men of African or Caribbean background or men with close family history of prostate cancer (father or brother).

Caple Banks Ltd. are proud to be your local Independent Financial Advisers. We offer a FREE initial review and provide professional advice in any of the following areas;

Pension and retirement planning Investment Portfolio management Inheritance tax planning Protection - Personal & Corporate Estate Planning Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We are also looking forward to running a number of free Masterclasses over the coming months. Our next event is focused on Inheritance tax planning and investments. If you would like more information or to book a free initial review please email enquiries@caplebanks.co.uk or call 01452 768138.

www.caplebanks.co.uk

It's not widely known that men over 50 can ask their doctor for a test, so not many do.

The PSA blood test isn't a diagnosis, but it's a useful tool to tell whether further investigation for prostate cancer would be worthwhile. The Cotswolds Support Group suggests that men aged between 50 and 75 (or over 40 if a close blood relative has had prostate cancer) should certainly ask for a PSA test or come along to the free public PSA test between 6pm and 8.30pm on 28th May. The Cotswolds Support Group is volunteer-led by men who've all had prostate cancer, ably assisted by their partners, and works closely with the county's NHS urology team, and national cancer charities. Monthly meetings are held at the excellent Maggie's Centre in Cheltenham, often with an expert speaker.

THE MARKET HOUSE Newent Town Council’s Newsletter Message from The Mayor The Government has provided funds for Local Councils to tidy up town centres. Our £3,500 grant will be used to pressure wash pavements and, in liaison with Newent in Bloom, we intend to replace broken flower tubs and plant them with summer bedding to help bring our town back to life.

The 1st Newent Guides celebrated their 90th birthday in March and Councillors were delighted to join the celebrations.

Annual Parish Meeting - April 4th Our Annual Parish Meeting was well attended.

Stallholders from local organisations were available to offer information beforehand and after the Mayor's report members of the public raised questions. A discussion followed during which positive ideas were put forward, information shared and points clarified.

Gateway Project for The Lake The Town Council will hold a design competition in conjunction with Newent Community School for a gateway feature to guide visitors from the car park towards the lake.

A New Council Year Councillors hold their posts of responsibility for one year. After the May elections, new appointments will be made at the meeting at 7.30pm on May 13th in The Market House at which members of the public are welcome.

FURTHER INFORMATION Information about the Council, its activities and contact details for councillors, can be found at www.newenttowncouncil.org.uk or ring 01531 820638. A fuller version of this newsletter is available on our website.

Health

May is National Walking Month National Walking Month is an annual campaign to promote the benefits of walking.

It is perhaps walking that is the most accessible exercise, available to all regardless of current levels of fitness or income.

Your health Walking gives your leg muscles and lungs a workout; reduces stress; helps you sleep; burns excess calories; and reduces your risk of osteoporosis, cancer, depression and Type 2 diabetes.

Phew, that sounds so good it should be prescribed.

The NHS says even just a brisk daily 10-minute walk has many health benefits, counting towards your recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise.

A brisk pace is around 3 miles an hour – 10

if you’re relatively fit, you should still be able to talk, but not sing a song.

The free NHS Active 10 app handily tells you when you’re walking fast enough and suggests ways to fit in more brisk walking.

Particularly through the late spring and summer, walking outside will top-up your levels of Vitamin D which is good for your bone health and your immune system.

Be sociable – or get alone time Walking can be a chance to chat with your friends and family. Nordic walking classes, a Walking for Health walk, or a walking group such as the Ramblers (formerly the Ramblers Association) are ideal if you don’t have anyone to walk with.

However, you may prefer to use walks as a chance for some time to yourself.

You could listen to music which can help you get into a rhythm and walk faster.

If you are concerned about wearing headphones while you walk, look at AfterShokz Bone Conduction Headphones. These sit on bones on the sides of your head but not in your ears, meaning you can still hear traffic.

Raise money for a good cause For National Walking Month, the British Heart Foundation is promoting the Just Walk initiative to encourage you to raise money in an organised walk. Tying in with this is their Walk to School Week from the 16th to the 20th May, where they ask teachers, parents and children to put their best foot forward and walk to school each day.

How and where to walk You can either set aside time for walking or just build it into your daily routine and

journeys. Could you get the family out for an after-dinner walk or take a weekend ramble that ends at a pub or restaurant?

• Wear supportive, suitable footwear. If you are walking to work, you could take a smarter pair of shoes with you to change into.

• Stay hydrated. Always take a drink with you if you’re planning to walk for more than 20 minutes or it’s hot.

• Always consider the terrain and the weather, especially if you’re heading off the beaten track. Do you need warm and/ or waterproof clothing, headgear and footwear? Do you have snacks, drinks, a first aid kit and a charged mobile phone?

An internet search will return innumerable resources to help you both start and stick with it, not just for May but throughout the year.

This year’s competition theme is ‘Numbers’ which you can explore as widely as you like. We are absolutely delighted to announce this year's judges.

Auction Anecdote Our April sale featured the most exciting consignment of advertising and packaging antiques I have ever encountered. The house had been furnished like a museum with antique advertising signs, mirrors and shop display cabinets covering every wall from the hallway, through the kitchen, sitting room, bedrooms and even the bathroom. All the items were exceptional in both their desirability and condition with several rarities such as a pictorial enamel sign for the ‘Wellington Journal and Shrewsbury News’ and a ‘Hudson’s Soap’ enamel sign depicting a clock face to show the ‘We close at’ time. The selection of mirrors generally related to Cadbury’s and Fry’s Chocolate whilst the icing on the cake came in the form of two very attractive Ogden’s cigarette vending cabinets.

Since this is a very popular collecting field we were confident demand would be strong for this outstanding collection but even then we were amazed by the strength of the bidding on sale day. Initially estimated at an overall total of £6,000/£8,000 we were just blown away by the final result of over £22,000. Many bidders probably went home sorely disappointed as they did not even get close to buying the items they had come for - although I think we all enjoyed the buzz and excitement of the moment.

Top price of the day was £3,200 paid by an Irish telephone bidder for one of the cigarette cabinets whilst the Wellington Journal enamel sign made £1,650 and the Hudson’s Soap sign made £1,300.

A large Victorian ‘Cadbury’s Chocolate’ mirror made £1,250 whilst a mirrored Cadbury’s shop display wall cabinet made £980.

Facelift for Leadon Vale Veterinary Centre As our regulars will have seen (and endured - apologies for the portacabin and thank you for your patience!), Leadon Vale has undergone a bit of a facelift, and we are happy to report that the work is complete.

Our updated reception area now allows canine and feline patients to wait separately, to prevent the latter from becoming entertainment for the former (the wards are now separated too).

We also had some recent additions to our team. Molly and Hope have joined our nursing team, currently consisting of Zoe, Bethan, Rene and trainee nurses Caitlin and SJ. Ruth has joined our reception team (and is also fielding our TB testing arrangements) alongside Helen, Julia, Sandie, Kim and Jo. Tom has joined the veterinary team on a temporary basis until the summer and is working alongside Martin, Freya, James, Pip and Sergiu.

We will be having a practice Open Day at some point in the coming months (date to be confirmed) so watch this space.

Fantastic Offer

NexGard Spectra is our new recommended product for flea and tick prevention in dogs.

It also protects against roundworms, hookworms and whipworms and is available as a palatable tasty treat. Buy two and get one free if you buy from us before August.

Nurse Dental Checks

We now have a nurse consulting room and are offering free dental checks to look at your pet's oral health, discuss tooth brushing, talk about preventative oral care and give advice on care following a dental procedure. This service is led by Zoe, Hope and Molly.

If you would like to talk to a member of our veterinary team or arrange a free dental check for your pet, please call us on 01531 632276.
