North Kilworth Newsletter March 2015

There are plenty of exercise classes available locally as well as gyms, but we are fortunate to have yoga now running in the village hall on Mondays which is a good way of keeping supple and strong. (See page 10). Whatever your activities, we hope you enjoy the glorious colours of Autumn this month Belinda and Sharon [email protected]

Yes it’s Autumn and the leaves have been turning colour for a few weeks now. For all of you who do not relish the signs of winter approaching, let’s hope for some warm late summer weather, an ‘Indian Summer’ in fact. Whilst we all know that an ‘Indian Summer’ means a period of warm, calm weather in Autumn, the origins of the phrase are more in dispute. Most likely of the contenders is from native American Indians where warm weather in Autumn is not uncommon along the East Coast. Anyway whatever the weather there will be plenty of distractions in October with the shops full of Christmas items and children breaking for half-term already…… Celebrating Halloween seems to get bigger each year. How do you feel about the commercialisation of this event? Is it just another example of an American import? Or do you enjoy all the excitement of children and the decorated pumpkins around the village. How about trick or treating? Free sweets and treats is fun for little ones, but can bring problems, one

year our house was ‘decorated’ with thrown eggs as were the houses of some of our neighbours. Many of our summer sporting activities are now coming to a close, so It’s goodbye to rounders and cricket until next year. It has been great to see these activities taking place in the village, and especially wonderful to have cricket returning with such strong support after many years. With fewer outdoor activities taking place, it raises the question, how are we to keep fit over the winter months?

Letters to the Editors...

Thanks

Our warmest thanks to all, for the help and kindness shown to Peter and to me, during and after my recent stay in hospital. I am recovering very well, thanks in no small part to the wonderful support from the North Kilworth community.

Liz Jones

Dear Editors

I was on the verge of sending my ‘letter to the editors’ to give thanks to all those who have generously given their time, expertise and plants to make the War Memorial look so beautiful all summer and keep the Green looking as smart as ever, when a huge lorry drove up Green Lane Hill and got stuck in the grass! We are in contact with the culprit and the damage will be repaired. Thanks again to all those who helped with this incident. Next month, we remember those who bravely went to war and we can be proud to stand at our village memorial, looking as lovely as it does.

Vikki O’Hara

Don’t miss …..

Alfresco Lunch

A huge thank you to all who participated in the Alfresco lunch and for those who hosted the event at their homes, also to Liz and her girls Katie, Gemma and Jess and Norman and his boys Sam, Noah and Henry who helped with pudding's and washing up. We had 40 guests who helped raise over £450 pounds to help with the upkeep of our village hall. Our numbers were a little down due to holidays and illness, so good wishes to everyone recovering and

hopefully next year everyone will be fighting fit!

If anyone is interested in joining the village hall trustee's we are very short of numbers at present, your commitment would be to attend meetings usually alternate months and help with our fund rising events e.g Alfresco Lunch and the Christmas quiz night. Please contact Gaye on 880650 or come to our meeting as an observer to see if you are interested


Another super day for the Kilworth Chal-lenge in its Silver Jubilee year. This time it was the 2015 Family Challenge held on Saturday 5th September 2015 at the North Kilworth Sports Club. It was the time the youngsters had the chance to outdo the adults at many of the challenges that featured in the 25th Kilworth Challenge held earlier in May. After the last few days, thankfully the weather was kind for the 17 family teams competing. With this number of teams this Family Challenge was the largest held to date. Some of the teams had up to 14 members if parents, toddlers and dogs are all included in the team entourage. The course around the North and South Kilworths was about 10kms long and the teams had to do 13 challenges, each at a specific place and at a specific time. The challenges included cart racing, filling up water in a leaky pole, a yomp across the countryside, 3D puzzles, firing sling shots of water bags, ducking stools (another guaran-teed wetting), racing on 2 person boing-boings and the much awaited and loved obstacle course with lots of mud. All the team members were presented with

a tee shirt and a medal for competing. The top 3 teams received trophies and the winning team has possession of the much sought after Kilworth Family Challenge shield for a year. It was clear that every one enjoyed them-selves from the overwhelming positive feedback. As usual there were some great team names, the winning team being `The Entire Population of China` with Alex and Ollie Morgan, Julian Lauder Thomas Hughes, Edward Sandercock, Richard Mor-gan and Kevin Wigley, all from the villages of South Kilworth and Gilmorton. Second place went to `Flower Power` and third place to `FLOSSTAMADAHA` (the team name coming from the initials of all its mem-bers). Thanks goes to everyone involved including the marshals, landowners, helpers and of course all the competitors on the day. Nick Otter on behalf of the Kilworth Chal-lenge Organising Committee

New Café and Antiques Shop

in North Kilworth

Albert's Archives Vintage And Loved

As people are slowly getting to know, our shop is situated where "The Egg Shed" used to be, next to HMS surfacing on Pincet Lane. The doors to our shop opened on 2nd August, to which we have had a lovely response of people, some whom are now regulars. At the heart of the shop is our café, which is becoming popular with local residents and also passing trade, which has been quite overwhelming. Our menu is still being titivated but will soon be completed. Please ask if something isn't on, as it could be something we can make for you. Our special "flavoured" scones which at the moment are Devonshire, sultana, ginger,cherry, banana and believe it or not, a 'bounty bar' inspired choc chip and coconut, which have been so popular, we have sold out at the moment. We also will be selling food and drinks to take away. The background of the shop revolves around "Albert" the rocking horse who was found on the first ever house clearance we did back in 2013. He was found upside down in amongst a pile of rubbish in a very sorry state. I fell in love with him, had him partially restored and he now sits where he can be seen but not touched and will never go for sale, although people have tried to persuade me to let him go. From my collection of items stored came the name "Archives" and the rest is, as they say, history. The shop itself is a little emporium of my own and other peoples selection of items which vary from Antique, Vintage, Retro, Shabby Chic and just pure unusual. We can also source things for people if we don't have it in our vast stock. Vendors are welcome to rent a space for a weekly fee and we now have a resident appraiser, who for a small charge, will value items if required. Also depending on our stock and how full the shop is, we can also sometimes sell things for people, purely on a commission basis.

Shop opens 10 am till 6 pm Tues to Sat 10 am Sun Albert's Cafe is open Tuesday to Sun 10 am to 4 pm

NORTH KILWORTH NEWS

At the time of writing, I am making crab apple jelly. My house is filled with the smell of cooking crab apples, and the sight of the puree dripping its juice into a bowl. My crab apples were harvested from the ground under hedgerows. They are far from neat and orderly, quite unlike their cousins on the supermarket shelves. They are dirty and imperfect, fallen from the tree and lying amongst nettles and weeds. The process of change is time consuming and hard work. From that scruffy start, though, the tatty apples eventually become a sweet and gleaming treasure in jars that, when eat-en in gloomy January, immediately transport me to the warm September evening when they were gathered. Bliss!

Looking at the world today, we see plenty of dirt and imperfection: for many, life looks profoundly dark and fallen. The deep sadness of the situation of so many migrants fleeing their homes is heartrending – surely none of us is untouched by their plight. But crab apple jelly making must restore hope. Just as we can take unpromising fruit and produce delicious beauty, the colour of an autumn sunrise, so with God’s help we can take our unpromising world and transform it. This involves effort on our part. We cannot sit by and leave the fruit under the hedges: if we do, nothing will happen. If we are truly followers of Christ, we must speak and act in the world. This is not a political opinion – it is scriptural fact:

‘What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.’ James 2 14-17 We cannot keep our faith for Sundays. We have to make a daily effort of prayer and public commitment to our Christian values of fellowship and love. If we are willing to work boldly and generously with God in the world, to take the time and make the effort, we can be sure that it will be worth it. Go for it! Blessings, Jane Kennedy

HOPE’S ITALIAN JOB – 2015

Cycling challenges are no stranger to our locally-based cancer charity Hope Against Cancer. With the success of the ‘Clogs and Cleats’ challenge to Amsterdam and back in 2013, ‘Hope’s Italian Job’ lifted the bar one stage higher.Once again, Hope Patron and former Leicester Tigers and England Captain Martin Johnson, committed himself to taking part. Martin was also joined by his former teammate Tigers prop forward Derek Jelley.

With the theme of the challenge loosely based on the 1969 film, a fitting promotional film was produced last November to encourage riders to sign up. Many hours of organisation and planning by Tim Hughes, Mike Higgins and Will Savage, were to follow along with monthly training rides for the 73 cyclists. It should be noted that all abilities were catered for and this was by no means just an elite cycling group.

Over the last weekend of August, their bikes were packed into boxes and loaded into a trailer for the journey to the starting point at Évian les Bains on the shores of Lake Geneva. It was followed a few days later, by three Minis (red, white and blue – of course). Three more vehicles completed the support team with dedicated catering, mechanical and luggage duties. The cyclists flew over and joined up with the group for a welcome party at their hotel before setting off the next day.

The route, promoted as: ‘Geneva to Milan - 360 miles in 4 days - climbing 17,000ft’ was to take in the climbs of the Grimsel, Furka and Gotthard Passes - not forgetting the descents!! Along the way, visits to the UCI (home of the world governing body for sports cycling), Madonna del Ghisallo Chapel and Cycle Museum and Monza racetrack, gave a well-earned break from the saddle. The scenery en-route was outstanding and simply breathtaking, no pun intended.

After four days of cycling on average around 90 miles a day, the cyclists arrived safely on Wednesday afternoon 9th September, in the Piazza del Duomo – Milan. They were greeted by cheers from the awaiting support team, family and friends, the Deputy Mayor of Milan and Hope Chief Executive, Nigel Rose. It was an emotional time for many and the reality of what had been achieved was immense.

The fund-raising target this time is £150,000 and whilst the halfway point has been reached, we still need your support to make this a truly memorable event.For more information on ‘Hope’s Italian Job’ and ways to donate, then please visit: www.hfcr.org/news and follow the links

or via the dedicated Just Giving page at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/hopesitalianjob

And if you’d noticed the red convertible Mini in North Kilworth recently, carrying the ‘Hope’s Italian Job’ message on the doors, then it was me driving it! And yes, I’m still smiling!!

Thank you

This month we say hello to the lovely Treadgold family. Lyanne and Vince moved to North Kilworth on the 17th December 2014 from Desborough with their young son Giles. With a continually changing moving date Lyanne decided that she couldn’t wait to put up her Christmas tree, so when they finally moved the week before Christmas the first thing to be unpacked from the removal van was their fully decorated Christmas tree with tinsel and baubles still intact! Vince and Lyanne met twelve years ago when they both worked for Tesco. Lyanne was living in Wellingborough, where she had grown up, and Vince was living in Rugby, where he had moved as a two year old from St Andrews in Scotland. They settled in Rothwell as a mid way point between their two families before moving to Desborough. Their careers have both moved on from Tesco and Vince works for a facilities management company called Servest. Vince manages Servest’s biggest customer Tesco, which involves overseeing the cleaning, maintenance & catering of 350 sites. Vince also manages contracts with Sainsburys, Primark and Marks and Spencers. Seven

years ago Lyanne went into business with her parents and three siblings to set up their successful family business, Partridges, a print management and fulfilment solutions company based in Wellingborough. They work predominantly with charities, such as Alzheimer’s Society, Children with Cancer and The British Heart Foundation, offering services such as distribution, design and printing and call centre solutions. Lyanne’s role is to manage the companies offices and staff and oversee the marketing and development of customer relations. Vince and Lyanne are a growing family with their second child due in October. Two year old Giles has recently started attending the Pre School in North Kilworth and has settled in well. They also have a young dog called Patsy who has bundles of energy and enthusiasm and makes a great play mate for Giles. Vince has an older son, called Owen, who lives in Rugby and has recently started joining his Dad at North Kilworth Golf Course. Vince and Lyanne moved to North Kilworth to be nearer to Lyanne’s parents and Grandparents in South Kilworth. They picked North Kilworth in particular because

of the friendly welcome they had always received when visiting and because of the outstanding reputation of the school. So far they have not been disappointed on either account. Within the first few days of moving they were inundated with friendly neighbours popping round to say hello. This really helped Vince and Lyanne know that they have made the right decision, especial-ly as the first 5 nights in the house were spent without any heating or hot water! Vince and Lyanne have settled into village life and enjoy being involved in as many social events as they can fit in. One of their biggest social occa-sions is cutting the front lawn, which they allow at least 2 hours for to ensure they can stop and chat to everyone that passes. They fully embraced the village BBQ this year set-ting up their own garden furni-ture on the Millenium Green! Vince has enjoyed being able to play golf again at North Kilworth Golf Course, where he was a member 15 years ago when he lived in Rugby. Vince has also played in the village cricket matches over the summer and enjoys taking Lyanne’s Grandfather for a pint or two at the Sports Club. Lyanne’s passion is for horses and has her own

horse, Kite, in Sharon and Neil Burkes’s paddock in the village. Although she hasn’t been able to ride her since becoming pregnant she is looking forward to getting back out with Kite next year. Until then they have found the horse is a useful spare lawn mower when theirs is broken! So if you see Lyanne, Vince and Giles please stop to say hello! Yvette Shuff

Yoga anybody?

Hatha Yoga classes restarted in September at the Belgrave Village Hall. Those returning to class after the summer break said how good it was to be back and how much they’d missed their regular practise. If you’ve been

thinking about taking up yoga, perhaps for the first time or after a break, then why not consider joining our village yoga group? The class is taught by Caron Lindley of Red Hat Yoga. You can find out more about Caron by visiting her website: www.redhatyoga.co.uk All ages, abilities, shapes and sizes are welcome to join the group which runs on Mondays at 5.45pm. Many people worry that if they can’t touch their toes, then yoga isn’t for them. “This is a

common worry.” says Caron. “Flexibility comes over time and with regular practise. You simply start from where you are now and build from there.” As we age, the body starts to dry out so a regular yoga practice helps to keep the

joints mobile, the connective tissues pliable and the major muscle groups strong. It’s never too late to start or restart and the body responds remarkably quickly. So what happens at our local class? Each class is personally designed by Caron with the needs of the group members in mind. It is a mixed ability group so each person is encouraged to work at their own level and pace. Each class covers a range of postures with modifications and alternatives to suit individual bodies. , There are also breathing practices, meditations and time for relaxation. The emphasis is on getting to know your own body really well, exploring how your body feels in each shape. You are encouraged to move mindfully, using your breath. You’ll also practise stilling the busy mind and relaxing the

body deeply in order to encourage self-healing. At the end of the class you will feel a deep sense of calm, lightness and freedom. Joining an established group might feel daunting, but please rest assured if you’d like to try the class, then you’ll be warmly welcomed. You can join at any time and pay for a single class, as a trial, before committing to a block of classes. Advance booking is essential as numbers are limited. Contact Caron on 01788 822975 for a chat. Or email Caron – [email protected] If this class is a little early for you, then Caron teaches at Lutterworth Town Hall, also on Mondays at 7.45 – 9pm, and at other times during the week in nearby Rugby and Crick. The full timetable is on the website.

Leaving your dog alone - separation problems in dogs

Dogs have been bred to want human attention and companionship and most of us value that special bond with have with our dogs so it is not surprising that some dogs struggle to cope when left on their own. Separation problems can take many forms, often dogs start to get anxious when they see you are preparing to leave the house. When left alone your dog may bark, be destructive or even toilet inside the house. If you suspect your dog may have a separation related problem, try to video your dog’s behaviour when you are out, so that you can see exactly what your dog does. If your dog toilets while you are out does this happen shortly after you have left or is it before you return? The former may indicate a separation related problem while the latter may mean that your dog just could not ‘hold on’ any longer. If you have a puppy you can prevent the problem by leaving him alone for a short time each day, make sure you return before he gets distressed and leave him with a chew or food toy to occupy him. What Can Be Done? There are a number of things that can make separation problems easier

Give your dog plenty of exercise before you leave him. A tired dog is more likely to

relax.

Before you leave give your dog a chew or a food toy such as a Kong so that he is busy

with that and does not notice you leave.

Make your departure very low key; don’t make a big fuss of your dog.

An Adaptil diffuser can work to help calm your dog

Don’t tell your dog off for his behaviour, if he is anxious this will make him worse.

If the problem continues then you might need to seek help from a dog trainer or behaviour counsellor.

St Andrews Church Flower Rota

Our Millennium Green is looking much tidier! On Saturday 19th September, a team of 6 volunteers rolled up their sleeves, pulled on their wellie boots and truly got ‘stuck-in’. The moat has been cleared of algae and most of the over-grown areas of meadow have been brought back under control. A well worth while morning. Many thanks to all those who helped and also for the welcome tray of coffee, juice and ginger-nut biscuits. We are aware that the stretch of boardwalk from Cranmer Lane through the bogs to the entrance gate is beginning to rot. A few boards have already given way and interim repairs are planned. We will soon be embarking on a major fundraising campaign to pay for the boardwalk to be replaced. Please watch this space for further details!

North Kilworth Cricket Team

Firstly I must apologies to DYLAN, our scorer who’s name I have continuously spelt as Dillon, I am sorry and thanks for your help and support. So the day finally came, the last game of the year and a repeat of the previous year’s Over 40’s v Under 40’s and once again Simon Jones & Ed Ward were the respective captains. A quick check behind the curtains praying for a dry day and a smile as it wasn’t raining so off to the wicket for last minute preparations and to get it ready for the game later on that day, to set up some tents just in case and the BBQ area for some fund raising. Disaster struck about 12:00 as the rain came but like last year and not put off by the rain the sides started to assemble at the Sports Club, after much deliberation it was decided to delay the start to 2:30 and reduce the game to 15 overs with the Over 40’s batting first (which turned out to be a great decision). The Over 40’s with a strong turnout had to lend the Ed’s team 3 players and balanced the sides with the youngsters just 1 player less with 10 and so the young pretenders took to the field with 5 of their players missing hence the 3 borrowed and unfortunately for them it was their opening bowlers that were missing, the Over 40’s quickly capitalised on that fact after losing a very early wicket Stuart Dainton bowled by Ed "the wizard” Ward and Andy Wall was joined at the crease by Simon Jones the pair batted solidly with Andy retiring and being replaced by Graham Fish who had clearly not forgotten any of the skills he had when last playing 12 years ago. This theme continued throughout with the Overs retiring to let others bat, Bruce Phillips scored some quick runs followed by Steve O’Hara, Nick Otter then Ian Jones took 2 wickets, Goggsy & David Holmes before Bruce returned for the last ball to save Steve Bell or Colin Clark from padding up. The wet outfield and some tight bowling from Ed Ward, Scott Weston, Ricky Pickering, George Ward, Adam Moss, Olly Taylor, Dave Lane & Finlay Dainton kept the score to 56 for 3 off 15 overs A quick turnaround with just enough time for a pint and the rain stopped as the Over 40’s took to the field, the Unders starting strongly with Adam Moss eloquently sticking the ball around the park supported by Ricky Pickering but some great bowling by David Holmes & Steve Bell restricted them with Ricky losing his wicket to Steve. Despite this the unders spirits where high expecting to quickly see of the 56 runs but some great bowling saw it difficult for the Unders to score, Olly Taylor, George Ward & Finlay Dainton put up a fight with Scott Weston & then Dave Lane but to no avail with Vince Treadgold coming in towards the end it was too late for the unders leaving just Ian Jones & Ed Ward without the chance to chase the runs. you could however say the experience showed through with the Over 40’s restricting the unders batsman to just 46 with everyone rolling back the years to deliver a solid bowling performance, Graham Fish, Colin Clark, Nick Otter, Stuart Dainton, Goggsy, Steve O’Hara, Andy Wall & Bruce Phillips. Some were heard to say never again whilst others, looking forward to next year already, It was a great afternoon despite the early rain, everyone took part and once again the Over 40’s remain unbeaten by the young pretenders, that just leaves me a long list of thank you’s…. Bruce/Sally & Rachel for the BBQ, Nick Hardwick & Mick Faulkner for umpiring, Dylan for scoring, the sports club for the use of their facilities, Hazel,Goggsy & Terry for the bar, the spectators who came to watch this majestic game of cricket and the players who turned up despite the weather. The good news is cricket is here to stay, we have agreed the best place for the wicket and will be spending the winter months preparing it for next season with 7 games already confirmed, it has at times been tough but we started the year with 10 players and have finished with over 20 names who will play either regularly or when we are short which is great news. If you want to get involved as a player or to help in some way please contact Simon Jones on 07561 103386 or [email protected].

Lastly thanks to everyone who has helped across the year, without you we wouldn’t have had so

much success, from teas to scorers, umpires to groundsman and people who just wanted a

game of cricket, it’s great to see it back and here to stay…

Thank you.
