of the Year - Visits Edwinstowe House |
Edwinstowe
received a visit from judges of the prestigious Calor Village of
the Year competition on 1st April 2009. Edwinstowe is one of thirty-eight
villages throughout the United Kingdom to have successfully reached
this next stage.The NE Group were delighted to host the event which
was attended by over 120 people including representatives from the
local District, Parish and County Councils and members of the local
community.
Students from King Edwin Primary School, St Mary's C of E Primary
School and the Dukeries College gave presentations around the village
of Edwinstowe before the main presentation which was delivered by
Patrick Bird. The NE Group was extremely pleased to have contributed
by offering the great services and features available at Edwinstowe
House and feel that the event was something to be proud of for all
involved. Chairman
of Edwinstowe Parish Council, Cllr Pam Bird said, "The village
were very proud to have reached this stage in the competition.
Many people have worked very hard for some time on the presentation.
This was presented at Edwinstowe House, co-ordinated by The NE
Group and supported as usual by many residents. We await the results
which are scheduled for the end of April." |

Big Bike Ride - Report |
|
The BBR on Saturday 9th May was a great success, blessed with fair
weather if a little windy for parts of the course. The 120 participants
(all with personal sponsorship) were exhaused after each leg but
still smilling as were people at the 8 change over sites. The delayed
motorists en route generously put loose 'notes' and change into
the collections pots. All the event's hosts were wonderful. Special
thanks to Fire fighter Mick Allen and the Sat crew for all there
support on the day. The NPAC charity sends several lorries with
goods to support orphanages, hospitals and schools to Europe at
a cost of 3K each, and Africa 7K, so the money raised from this
event will be well used. |

Village of the Year Competition |
| The

Day 2009 |
|  In
time honoured fashion May Day saw people of Edwinstowe village
celebrate the return of summer. Initiated
by The Sherwood Forest Trust the celebration follows on from last
year when the Starting Blocks After School Club built the “Jack”
and helped to start what is hoped to become an annual celebration.
This is the only “Jack on the Green” in Sherwood and
is symbolic of the community spirit of the village and brings
a message of environmental awareness.

Coffee Morning Report |
| On behalf
of the Royal British Legion, Edwinstowe Branch, I would like to
thank all those that put their hands in their pockets and put
money towards a very worthwhile cause on Saturday 28th March.
A coffee morning was held which raised a total of £263.50
in just two hours through various fund raising activities. Stalls
were staffed by Air cadets from the Warsop detachment whose enthusiasm
helped towards the total. I would also thank everyone who donated
items to the bric-a-brac, bottle stall and raffle. Thanks also
to the members that attended in their free time to support the
event. A cake stall was extremely well decked out by wares produced
by Mrs Christine Needham with very little left at the end of the
morning. Similar
events are planned for the future and donations would be much
appreciated.
Please note,
we meet every first Tuesday of the month at South forest Leisure
centre, Edwinstowe at 730pm. We are always looking for new members
and would welcome any persons interested in the work of the Legion
and willing to supporting this very worthwhile cause. - Thank
you - Geoff Dunn, Secretary Edwinstowe RBL
