South Scarle Community Centre Progress Report

Planning and preparation work continues apace prior to the commencement of the

construction work. The interim committee are holding bi-fortnightly meetings in order toget everything in place for a start date of 2nd September. Lee Marshall has been

appointed as the Project Manager, and he is also our professional heating consultant. The

contractors are being finalised.

The Faculty has been granted by the DAC in Southwell, and Planning Permission has

been granted by Newark and Sherwood DC (including 3 conditions which have now been

discharged) for the external work. So all necessary permissions have been granted.

All grants applied for have now been awarded, so all monies required are in place bar

some contingencies. The large grants awarded by Wren and Biffa require contracts inplace, and all paperwork for these have been sent to them along with the match funding of

10% of the awards. These monies have successfully been fund raised by the village over

the last two years. Well done to all villagers who have helped this tremendous effort.

Towards the end of August the Church carpets will be cleaned, removed and stored until

the work is complete (hopefully by the end of November). All other loose items in the

Nave will also be removed and stored. The medieval pews will be removed and stored off

site, then returned on completion of the work. The nave under pew electric heating pipes

will be removed and sold, as will the Victorian pews.

Village Ventures, Facebook & Twitter!

It was at Connies 90th birthday celebrations when I was approached by Judy Muirhead andAnita Clements to see if I would be interested in attending a promoters event for VillageVentures. You are not doubt asking the same question that I did, What the heck is VillageVentures?

Village VenturesVillage Ventures brings professional performances to village halls and communities acrossNottinghamshire. Supported by local volunteer promoters, the programme hosts a widerange of touring companies and performers. From theatre to jazz, cabaret to folk music anddance to childrens shows, Village Ventures features a diverse and hugely enjoyable rangeof performers for all ages.

This is where I come in. After saying yes to Judy and Anita, I find myself acting as the localpromoter for Village Ventures events held at the new South Scarle Community Centre. But

more of that soon. If you want to be added to our mailing list to hear of forthcoming eventsplease contact me at info@southscarlecommunitycentre.com.

Facebook & TwitterSo what have I been doing recently in the role as local promoter? Well, I was afforded theopportunity to spend a day with a promotions and marketing expert who enlightened me tothe joys of Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook is a great way of connecting us with each other and sharing our thoughts, photosand videos of village events. Have a look and see the buzz that was created around theStomp, Scurry and Cream Teas. If you have a Facebook account please head over to

www.facebook.com/southscarlecommunitycentre and Like our page. If youre new toFacebook, you can still take a look but will need an account to interact with others.

Twitter, in truth, was a bit of a mystery to start with. In the end it is easiest to think of it as abusiness to business link. I have endeavored to link with as many local businesses who areon Twitter as possible e.g. Grantham Rotary Club, Kelham House Hotel, Double TreeLincoln as well as many local artists and musicians as I can find. It will build up slowly butshould give the Community Centre a better online presence and therefore make it easier topromote events. Again if you have a Twitter account, please follow us @SouthScarleCC.

What Next?

Look out for work starting on Phase 2 of the Community Centre. You can follow theprogress on Facebook. Shortly before work is completed the Community Centre will haveits own webpage with details of how to hire the centre, forthcoming events and even ourown blog!

I hope you are as excited as I am about the opportunities that the new space will provide.Just think we can have theatre, music, dances, quiz nights, beetle drives (one for the oldschool there), birthday parties................

Let us know what you would like? Email or join the conversation on Facebook. I am happyto help any technophobes where I can. Just stop me when you see me walking the dogs.

I may look grumpy but neither me nor the dogs bite! Craig Law

Bob Goes Back to School!

I went to Swinderby School I left there in 1936.

The voice belonged to Bob Green and he was speaking to me at the South Scarle Scurryas I stood waiting to 'scurry' wearing my Swinderby School Performing Arts T-Shirt.We got talking and this chance conversation resulted in a Bob making a return visit toSwinderby School the following Thursday morning.

Swinderby has always welcomed past pupils and everyone was keen to welcome Bob andhear his stories from times past. A special assembly was held and Bob talked to thechildren about the school in his days there. He was asked lots of questions the children

being particularly interested in what happened if you were naughty and details of theoutside toilets with no flush!

Four of the older pupils were chosen from lots of volunteers to show Bob around theschool. He was able to go into the storeroom where the school bell rope still hangs and hetold the children that he had rung the bell many times. He was shown the playgrounds andwildlife garden and then enjoyed a school dinner with the children in the hall. It was alovely, memorable experience for all concerned and we were also delighted to receiveBob's gift to the school of a collection of history books. Bob said afterwards that the visit

had given him a real boost and he had enjoyed it very much.

MAUREENS TALK ENTERTAINS

I cant remember when I bought my ticket for Maureen Suttons talk

on Friday 12 July, but it was a while ago. Ticket sales then had beenin single figures and I could tell Richard was slightly concerned that

it might not be a complete success. I must confess the details made

me wonder what it was going to be about (death and sexuality?!) but

Richard said some of the sold tickets were people who had been to

see Maureen before, so I reasoned it cant be bad! - Well, single

figures it wasnt and bad it most certainly was not!

The turn out on Friday was fantastic and Maureens talk was funny and thought provoking.

Im sure it made all of us realise how times had changed and just maybe wonder if they were

much simpler back then. Her talk revolved around the naivety of years ago. Ive got a visitfrom Auntie Rosie or shes fallen put me in mind of Les Dawson doing his sketch of the

ladies talking over the garden fence. The unspoken words speak volumes!

Maureen recounted accounts from numerous local people, sharing their intimate

recollections and daring confessions! A number of those recollections revolved around the

tunnels in the Tritton Road area of Lincoln. Apparently that was where the action was for the

youngsters. I was sat with Connie and asked where the South Scarle tunnels were -

somewhere between the corner and the church was all she would say.

The evening was a great success, finishing with wine and a fantastic spread. As Maureen

says We knew nowt .but you cant help thinking werent it better?

Going Places Collingham Singers Concert

Sunday 2nd June 2013

The theme of the concert this year was Going Places.

The audience went with the singers on a great variety of

forms of transport in song, some serious and some very

light hearted. There was something for everyone and the

audience heartily joined in the sing-a-long. After an hour

and a halfs excellent entertainment everyone enjoyed tea

and delicious cake (baked by South Scarle Farm Shop).

368 was raised for St Helenas Fabric Fund and the

South Scarle Community Centre (split 50/50) and a retiring

collection raised 81 for Macmillan Nurses. A verysuccessful and enjoyable afternoon all round.

Adrians latest adventures in the world of television!Since I last wrote something for the Scarlian in June last year, my life in the TV industry has beenpretty crazy. With another successful series of Big Brother and its Celebrity other half on Channel

5, I finally got my first promotion in the industry. Moving from being a runner the polite way ofbeing an errand boy, I have gone onto being a researcher. This has given me more involvement inactually making television, being able to have more voice and more creative decisions.North One Television is the company that gave me this break, giving

me the chance to impress on Stephen Fry Gadget Man on Channel 4which came out just before Christmas. Firstly, none of the crew wasaware of Stephenss condition or any of the events which have justcome out in the press in the past few months. However, working withhim you did get the sense that he was extremely tired and Im notsurprised after seeing his diary which was 15hour days, 7 days aweek. Hes an extremely over worked individual and I have a lot of

respect for him.Looking back at this show, I was a part of so many incredible experiences. We built an amphibious

taxi which we took for a swim around Canary Wharf and we created a race between Dame KellyHolmes and Stephen across Trafalgar Square. I was also the host and head chef of a Dinner Partythat involved Stephen Fry, Derren Brown, Carol Vorderman and Jo Brand.Among all these incredible experiences, I think the main thing that stood out was teaching StephenFry how to do stuff. For a man who knows everything, which he genuinely does, its amazing to beable to tell people that Ive told Stephen how about 50 bits of technology work and he has thentaken that information and has told 2.5 million people in the UK and 30 other nations around theworld.It was sad to finish on that show just before Christmas as I had so muchfun, but I had the fortunate chance to follow half of the team over to an evensmaller production company called Attaboy TV where I worked on thebiggest Discovery show Wheeler Dealers.These 5 months can be summedup as an experience. For those of you who know, I had the unfortunate taskof being given a computer with Windows 8, so basically I was creating a TVshow as if it was the 1980s and using the good old Yellow Pages.Fortunately, one of my cars was a 1962 Morris Minor Traveller, and with the amount of wood workthat needed to be restored, Dad got a series of phone calls asking what machines I would need tosaw, sand and well pretty much any variety of wood tools I might require. As well as my little Morris,I got to help restore a TVR Cerbera which I will forever love, a Ford Pop which I will forever hate,

and a Lamborghini Urraco which I will forever remember as the time I thought I had sent a 7 mancrew to the house of a Mafia boss. They survived so it was okay in the end.In May I was given the opportunity to return back to my Gadget Man home at North One Television.With Stephen unable to do the second series, we have been given the great opportunity of havingRichard Ayoade taking over as Gadget Man. Many of you probably have no idea who he is, but heis slowly becoming an international star. Best known forplaying Moss in the IT Crowd on Channel 4,he has also played lead in Hollywood comedy films with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughan as well as

having quite a successful director career with his film Submarine. We start filming the new seriesthis month, and it will air on Channel 4 in September. Sorry for the bare-faced plug, but itwill be a great TV show with some amazing technology in it that you had no idea even existed.There are even a few gadgets that are coming from local companies, but I best not reveal them yet.

And now for my cheesy TV sign off ....... Until next time! ADRIAN SUTTON

ALAN SAYS THANKS TO SPECS FINDER!

Id like, through your columns, to say a big thank you to whoever found my glasses and case on

the pavement (I think) outside my house late Monday 20th or early Tuesday 21st

May and kindlydeposited them in my mailbox. We were just leaving the house at 8.30am for a two week holiday,having spent the previous hour in total panic as Id mislaid them, when Linda saw them in theoutside mailbox. Im pretty sure they would have slipped out of my pocket whilst getting out of acar the previous night.

Mystery person, thank you very much. Alan Molineaux, Corner Farm Barn

Lost and Found

Its been a funny old spring and early summer. The Gold Finches continue theirpopulation explosion and flocks of twenty plus are clinging to thistle heads and singing inhedgerows. Try and spot these little chaps. They are very pretty. The starlings are amazingand in an evening we are getting our very own murmerations of starlings Do look out forthese stunning avian air displays.

BUT .........The cuckoo was missing - April and May not a sound. I heard it twice in earlyJune but that was it. Do you still doubt the impact of climate change?

Good news all the Ash Trees I know of seem fine no sign of die back.

Then we have had a special visitor. I worked for five years close to a release site for RedKites. I learned to spot their huge wingspan (not unlike a Heron but no dangling legs) theponderous wing beat (again Heron-like but faster). I also learned to temper my joy. No one

was impressed - they were as common as sparrows. Here they are new! Look for the hugewingspan. Other birds will be mobbing them. The forked tail is the final give away. Beingcarrion feeders they are not a problem yet but they may become so when they start to raidour bins

Sponsored chairs for

South Scarle Community Centre

The response to this idea has been good. If you are still thinking about it there is still

time to sponsor a chair for the new Community Centre. A small plaque can be

mounted on the chair indicating the giver or in memory of someone. There is a limit of

35 characters on the plaque. The cost of a sponsored chair with an engraved plaque

is 50. However the deadline date will be 31St August. If you have mislaid your form

or need more information please contact Judy on 892409 or Florence on 892056.

I thought I should give you an update on the situation regarding the formation of our

village drama group.

I think I may have been rather premature when I sent everyone my last note because itseemed that the Open Space project was still quite a long way from completion. The

necessary funds were still not in place, but now, as you can read in this edition of The

Scarlian, the money required has been realised and work is expected to start soon.

Along with other groups in the village, we would-be thespians and entertainers are looking

forward to having the facility to expand our social and community activities, and I will be

arranging our inaugural meeting sometime in September.

I know from the feedback I have had, that you are all as eager as I am to get started, but

at the moment, patience must be the order of the day. We will soon have what many

villages take for granted - a usable space to accommodate meetings, parties and events.
