What’s going on in the local area?
THE ROTARY CLUB OF SOUTHAM
Southam Tree of Light 2014 Last year many people from this area gave us a donation in memory of someone they wished to remember, particularly at this time of year. Will you help us and Acorns Children’s Hospice again this year? Together we have raised over £15,000 for them since we began the Tree of Light seven years ago. They depend entirely on voluntary funding from people like us to do the essential work that they do. As you know everyone is having to work harder at present just to keep pace with the needs which arise daily in our own lives. We know that every Charity is struggling with escalating costs. We can only hope that you will feel that the wonderful work done by Acorns is something that deserves your continued love and support. Everyone who is to be remembered will have their name inscribed in this year’s Book of Remembrance which will be on display in the temporary public Library in Pendicke Street, Southam for the whole of the Christmas Season. If you want more information my contact details are below. Rotarian Mike Gaffney Tel 01926 811028

Southam Lions Club – Hog Roast ‘’The BIG question is – Did you all enjoy a fabulous Summer? Without wishing to jeopardise the ‘Indian Summer’ we appear to be enjoying, the weather has been outstanding this summer and we beat the Indians’ at cricket so pretty good all round! So, next month is October and the highlight for Lions is the Hog Roast which takes place on MONDAY 13th OCTOBER. So to the people of Southam and District (particularly the children) another question to ask is - Will you all be out enjoying the ‘fun of the Fair’ on OCTOBER 13th? We really do hope the answer is ‘YES!’ and that as part of the fun you will visit us at the HOG ROAST at the back of the Old Mint in Southam. People ask - Why do the Lions do it? And the answer is simple: It’s because they do and they do it every year having established a tradition more years ago than anyone cares to remember! So do all come along especially in the evening when the baps are generously filled with roasted pork, crackling, stuffing and apple sauce. Savour once again the aroma of the roasted meat and join the queue for the finest tastiest treat of the night! You are welcome to come along earlier and meet the Lions some of whom will have been on active duty since 8am getting the Hog ready and wired to the pole! (That’s the hog wired to the pole not the Lions!) The Lions will be selling their HOG ROAST RAFFLE TICKETS with fabulous prizes given by our many business friends in the area and the TOMBOLA STALL will be there too which is always popular particularly with the young people. So mums and dads make sure you have some golden coins in your purses and pockets for the little ones! The Lions are supporting local charities once again this year, with Myton Hospice and The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance highlighted as beneficiaries.

Santa Claus is coming to town
The Windmill Singers
Santa is preparing his sleigh and getting the reindeers fit and ready for the festive season. He will be making his first appearance at the switch on of Southam’s Christmas Lights on Friday 28th November.
Calling all choir Accompanists
The fun gets underway at 4.30pm with the fun fair and stalls open for business. Local radio star Bob Brolly MBE will be our MC for the event, with the switch on by Santa, Bob Brolly and the Mayor Cllr Mark Willoughby at 6pm. Bring the family and get the Christmas season off to a bright start.
Southam’s established Windmill Singers, in its 50th anniversary year are offering an exciting opportunity to a keyboard accompanist to attend rehearsals and take part in performances. At Easter this year it collaborated with a number of other local choral groups in performances of John Stainer’s The Crucifixion at Leamington’s St Peter’s RC Church and St Gregory’s Anglican Church at Offchurch. The choir, which has a repertoire of classical choral works in addition to show, traditional English and popular modern music, is invited to sing each summer at a UK cathedral – in 2015 Hereford! It also performs in various local charitable and community events including weddings and funerals. The choir also has an annual sell-out concert involving a wide variety of guest singers and musicians at The Grange Hall in Southam, this year on Friday 7th |November. The choir rehearses at St Mary’s School in Southam, Daventry Road, each Thursday evening between 8.00 and 10.00pm. Anyone interested in being involved with this long-standing choir is invited to contact acting choir master Dr Bill Buckler on: 01926 633409
The Windmill Singers are a Registered Charity No. 508079
Don’t worry if you miss Santa at the festival because he will be touring round Southam and local villages with his friends the Southam Lions visit http://southamlions.org.uk for more details. Southam Christmas Lights Association is a small and dedicated committee and works very hard to provide a display each year in the town, through fund raising, street collections, local business sponsorship and grants. If you are interested in joining us, making a donation, sponsoring or just finding out more about the Christmas Lights Association please contact Terry Grey, Chairman on 01926 817774 or Carolyn Akeister 01926 815085.

LEAMINGTON SPA’S VERY OWN COMEDY FESTIVAL IS BACK WITH A BANG! There’s something funny going on again in Leamington this month as the towns very own comedy festival returns in October with yet another a stellar line up. Now in its third year, it’s becoming a bit of a fixture in the local calendar. Mark Makin, one of the festivals directors told us “It’s grown really fast and with ten venues this year, there’s even more comedy to be seen so we think people will be pleased with the line-up again this time round”. We think they will too as that line-up includes Milton Jones from “Mock the Week” and four series of his own Radio 4 comedy show, comedy legend Jasper Carrott, Never Mind the This year’s lineup includes Jasper Carrott (left) Henning Wehn (centre) and Milton Jones (far right)
Buzzcocks stalwart Sean Hughes, “They Think it’s all Over” star Rory McGrath, a welcome return for “Would I lie to You” regular and German comedy ambassador, Henning Wehn and Live at the Apollo star, Paul Chowdhry. With appearances also from Sara Pascoe, Jarred Christmas, Andrew Lawrence as well as comedy quizzes, family events and even a comedy café there really should be something for everyone. Mark says this is again a deliberate ploy as the aim is for the festival to have as broad an appeal as it can. He told us,
“We’re a pretty broad church when it comes to comedy, so for us stand up sits happily alongside children’s shows, theatre, cinema, spoken word and, well, anything really—the only proviso we put on something going into the festival is that it’s good quality and most importantly, it’s good fun!”. The Comedy festival runs from Saturday 11th until Saturday 18th October. For full details of all this year’s events and to buy tickets visit www.leamingtoncomedy.com or call the box office on 01926 334 418.
