‘Ducks Away 2015‛ The 24th Annual Duck race will take place on Thursday 1st January 2015 at Manor Park Toton. Starting at 2.00pm.

As usual the Mayor of Broxtowe, (To be confirmed) will start the race by releasing 1500 plastic ducks into the River Erewash. They will float down the river and be caught at the bridge approximately 600 yards down stream. The owners of the first 10 ducks to cross the winning line will receive a prize.

The Duck race is always a fun day for all the family. We will be serving teas, coffees, ulled wine and mince pies and we will be playing festive music For just £1.50 people can have the opportunity to sponsor a duck and win a prize.

Angela Barnes, Duck Race Co-ordinator said “The Duck Race has become a great local event and people start ringing as soon as Christmas is over to make sure that they can reserve a duck for the race. We usually attract hundreds of local people and many family pets. It is one of the few events that all of the family can enjoy together. And there is always a great atmosphere. The people in the Toton/Beeston/Long Eaton/Sandiacre, Stapleford, Nottingham and Derby area now attend as a matter of course.

After all what else can you do on New Years day?

The race is sponsored by Long Eaton Plant Hire and all of the prizes are donated by local business.

All of the money raised will be used to benefit older people.”

Even before Christmas people start ringing to reserve themselves a duck and I’m sure that 2015 will be no exception.

To reserve a duck call Angela Barnes – 07973 753046 Further details: Angela Barnes 0115 917 6337 or Mob: 07973 753046 e: info@angelabarnesconsulting.co.uk

Grapevine Money Saving Tips Many people drink smoothies as a healthy shortcut to their five-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables, but there's nothing healthy about the price of these drinks. Buying a smoothie maker or jug blender and blending your own could save you a significant sum if you're a regular smoothie drinker. *Look out for fruit at the supermakets at knock down prices, ideal for smothies and save money too.

Saving Money Tips - The times to get deals Best time to buy electronics Buying a TV You can normally find a great TV deal in June when new models are being launched Head to the January sales for some of the best bargains of the year on consumer technology products, like TVs and DVD players.

New TVs are launched in June, so older models should begin to drop in price at the start of summer.

Digital camera manufacturers typically refresh their product ranges at the end of spring or autumn. As a result, retailers tend to sell off end of line cameras at discounted prices to make way for new models.

You are likely to find good promotions and discounts on stationery, printers and ink in July and August, as children and students prepare for the new academic year and shops compete for their business. The start of the new academic year in September also sees retailers offering cut-price deals on laptops, mobile phones and computer software.

Best time to buy home appliances Dishwasher February is the month to get your hands on cheap end of line dishwashers Hit the shops between January to March to snap up cheap end of line white goods. This is also a good time to look for small kitchen appliances, such as kettles and toasters.

September is a good time of the year to get deals on budget kitchen gadgets, because retailers try to tempt students returning to university. There are often great deals on these items around Christmas too.

The Easter Bank Holiday weekend is traditionally the time we turn our attention to DIY jobs around the home. DIY stores, such as B&Q, Homebase and Screwfix, often discount DIY products around this time.

Retailers are usually keen to clear out bulky garden items from their warehouses just before winter, so this is the time to grab some great bargains on garden furniture.

Best time to buy a car New Cars Head to showrooms at the end of each quarter if you’re in the market for a new car If you want to buy a new car, head to showrooms at the end of each quarter (March, June, September and December). This is when salespeople are most under pressure to meet their targets. If they are struggling to meet their goals, you may be able to haggle to get a better deal.

The number of used cars on sale tends to go up in March and September, as people trade in their old cars and buy new models when new registration plates are issued, so used car buyers can haggle harder.

The summer is a great time to buy an SUV, as demand for four-wheel-drive vehicles usually peaks during autumn and winter when the weather is at its worst.

However, the winter months are the best time to buy a sports car, as sales are slower and dealers are often keen to offload that year’s models to make room for revised versions arriving early in the New Year.

Become Debt Free in 2015 British credit card holders owe an average of £2,000 on their plastic.

To clear a debt of £2,000 on a card with an interest rate of 17% will take two years assuming a monthly repayment of £100.

To clear that £2,000 with a monthly payment of a more affordable £30 (at 17%) will take 17 YEARS. But people are turning to other ways of borrowing, including payday lenders, friends, family, store cards and other loans for cars - even day-to-day living costs.According to one survey, average household debt now stands at around £13,000. To clear a debt of £13,000 at a modest 6% interest with a monthly repayment of £100 will also take around 17 years to clear.

There are, however, plenty of simple ways to make significant savings on your regular spending that could clear your debt in less than a year.

One of the golden rules of financial planning is to clear your most expensive debts first, in other words your credit cards. OK, credit cards offer a convenient way to pay for goods and services but if you can’t clear the balance every month, consider a low-cost loan as an alternative. Do the sums: a credit card debt (APR 16.8%) of £2,500 over five years will cost £1,212 in interest. A loan at 7.8% will cost £527. A saving of £685.

More ways to save money Don’t buy designer labels Celebrities are given expensive clothes to wear. You’re not.

Thankfully, millions of people have woken up to this and buy copycat fashions from the likes of Asos, and various other outlets. If you’re still tempted, face up to the fact that you may only wear the outfit once. Can you justify paying hundreds of pounds for a name? And can you honestly say you can tell the difference at a distance between a £600 designer bag and a £9.99 one from the market?

Sell your clutter on eBay Take this quick test: You’re at home. Open a cupboard. Look inside. If it’s full of clothes you haven’t worn, or ‘good ideas at the time’ you haven’t used, for, let’s say, three years - you don’t need them. So why not sell them to someone else who does? For fans of the understatement: Ebay is quite well-known and popular now. The great thing is you really can flog any old garbage - for a commission. Tip: you may want to buy a few items first to build up your rating as a respectable eBayer before you start selling.

Cancel Holiday Insurance - (for now) If your annual holiday insurance policy is about to expire and you don’t have a holiday booked, DON’T renew the policy. You’re handing your money over to cover an eventuality that won’t happen You wouldn’t have car insurance if you didn’t own a car. Some people probably do, Simply restart the cover again the next time you book a trip.

Save money on NHS Perscription charges One of the best things about being ill, and let’s face it there aren’t many, is that NHS prescriptions cost £8.05 per item. This is amazing value unless you need, say, four prescriptions a month. Four x £8.05 suddenly equals £32.20 or £386.40 a year. But one of the best things about being that ill is that you can cap the amount you pay using Prescription Prepayment Certificates (PPCs). You pay a fixed fee every three or 12 months and it covers all your prescriptions during the period you’ve paid for.

The current prescription charge is £8.05 (£16.10 per pair of elastic hosiery).

A three monthly PPC is £29.10. This saves you money if you need four or more items in three months.

A 12-month certificate is £104.00 and saves money if 13 or more items are needed in 12 months.

PPCs are available by 10 monthly direct debit instalment payments.

The prescription prepayment certificates allow anyone to obtain all the prescriptions they need for £2 per week.

Book Review by Clare Lyons Rachael‛s Holiday by Marian Keyes This was a first for me on two counts – my first book by Marian Keyes and my first e-book. The narrator is a drug addict in recovery, going through a range of physical and emotional changes as the book develops. In the first few chapters it becomes clear that their version of events may not be wholly reliable – and that their perception of their addiction and other relationships is also flawed. The book moves between Rachel’s current life in the clinic, with a wide variety of characters and sitautions (not all entirely believable) and her reflections on the couple of years leading up to this. In addition to her own memories, family and friends give their thoughts and feelings during some of the therapy sessions. The result is an honest and interesting exploration of addiction and recovery, with a couple of sex scenes and some humour thrown in. The characters are well developed and the story is very readable and well-paced. I wouldn’t rush to read more of Keyes as I suspect they are all on a theme, having said that the quality of the writing is good and the gentle treatment of harsh subjects is beautifully crafted.

This is a ‘Walsh Family Novel’, each of the five sisters have their own novel with The Mystery of Mercy Close (about Helen) being the last in the series.

Children‛s Choice The Big Hearted Book by Nicholas Allan This book came to my attention as it was being sold in support of the International Children’s Heart Foundation, and finding age appropriate ways to discuss difficult issues is always helpful. It’s a lovely story about Babette and Bill, who spend all their time together until Babette becomes ill and has to go to hospital – it has a happy ending and is a lovely, simple story about friendship, health, hospitals and hearts. The illustrations aren’t especially inspiring but the layout and pace are excellent.

If you like Nicholas Allan, you may enjoy his more hilarious offerings including the more seasonal Father Christmas Needs a Wee.

Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs- Relaxed Performance Relaxed performances are specifically designed and adapted for customers with a wide range of disabilities and those on the autistic spectrum. They have a less formal, more supportive atmosphere in order to reduce anxiety levels. The performance may also be more suitable for customers with very young children. Just a few of the fantastic comments from this year’s Relaxed Performance of Peter Pan; ’Thank you for making our children feel welcome, safe and special’ ’I liked the lights being left on, I had a really happy day’ ’I was able to have fun with my son and looking around at how the kids were able to jump up and down and have fun without anyone complaining was absolutely brilliant’ Relaxed performances provide an opportunity for customers who may find it difficult to come and see a show to experience the joy of live theatre. The relaxed performance is still the same show but there are small changes to the sound levels, lighting and no pyrotechnics or strobe lighting are used. The auditorium doors will be left open and customers, if they wish, are allowed to move around during the performance. The Dress Circle Foyer will be made into a quiet space for the duration of the show, whereby if customers need to leave the auditorium for any reason they can go to this space and relax before deciding whether to go back in for the rest of the show. For this performance there will also be an increased number of wheelchair spaces available. This will be given on a first come first served basis. Please note this performance will also be signed. Tickets for this performance only will be £11.

A Visual Story to accompany the show will be available to download closer to the performance date. For further information, to arrange a familiarisation visit, any specific queries or to book tickets for this performance please contact Caroline Pope on 0115 9895627 or caroline.pope@nottinghamcity.gov.uk Date: 7 Jan 2015 Starts at:13:30 Cost: £11 with essential carers going free Ticket: Please contact Caroline Pope on 0115 989 5627 to purchase tickets or for any other enquiries.

Christmas cards, extra glass bottles, real Christmas trees – the countdown to Christmas has officially begun and Broxtowe Borough Council’s badger mascot Brock is helping, by promoting ten top tips for local residents to help to waste less and recycling more over the festive period.

At Christmas an extra 3 million tonnes of waste will be generated, which is enough to fill 120 million wheeled bins.

The Council is urging everyone to follow Brock’s top ten tips: 1. Starting to receive lots of Christmas cards? Remember envelopes are recyclable, so pop them into your green-lidded bin and the cards in the New Year. Or, why not be creative and create gift tags for next year.

2. If everyone recycled 1 more glass bottle over the holidays it will stop nearly 4,000 cars worth of CO2 getting into the atmosphere. Please use the Council’s kerbside glass collection schemer check out the website for your collection detailswww.broxtowe.gov.uk/recycling 3. Did you know that the wrapping paper we use in the UK each year is equivalent to the weight of 124 London Eye’s? Use the green-lidded bin (not the foil type).

4. Invest in a compost bin and recycle all Christmas dinner vegetable peelings.

For more information visit www.broxtowe.gov.uk/recycling for further details.

5. Use a bag for life when shopping to reduce the waste pile.

6. If everyone recycled 1 more plastic bottle over this period in the UK it would stop 400 cars worth of CO2 entering our atmosphere.

7. If you’re buying a real tree for Christmas this year don’t forget to recycle it.

Use the garden scheme if a member or take to the nearest household waste and recycling site.

8. Don’t forget to recycle your metal food and drink cans plus those sweet/biscuits tins. In six weeks they could be brand new cans!

9. Presents and parties mean lots of packaging so make sure you feed that green-lidded bin.

10. Making a New Year’s resolution? Why not make one for 2015 to be the year you recycle more, reduce your waste pile and re-use where you can.

For further information, please contact Broxtowe Borough Council’s recycling section on 0115 917 7777 or visit the website at www.broxtowe.gov.uk

This month’s local business Aqua Drains.

Drain clearance services and CCTV surveys.

Local company Aqua Drains was established in 1995, a family-run business with a wealth of experience in unblocking both domestic and industrial drains as well as providing CCTV surveys. Their drainage helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and they are committed to providing a prompt and reliable service each and every time they are called out.

They demand no charge for customer call outs and can provide free quotes and advice on potential drain solutions to suit your specification.

ATTENTION ALL BUILDERS If you are planning to build a conservatory or extension you may need a WRC CCTV survey. Aqua Drains specialise in WRC reports, please call for more information.

Aqua Drains can complete full CCTV surveys for domestic and commercial drain clearance purposes. By feeding high quality CCTV monitoring equipment down within the drain itself, they are able to find the source of a blocked drain and begin repairing it almost immediately.

Each CCTV drain survey provides a sophisticated and detailed inspection of a drain and its internal construction. This can reduce the need for expensive and pointless digs to locate damaged pipes and drains.

CCTV surveys can help with the following: Blocked drains Collapsed drains Broken drains Drain repairs Drain testing Pipe cleaning Excavation repairs Tree root problems HOUSEBUYERS & PROPERTY DEVELOPERS Aqua Drains can carry out CCTV Surveys if you are thinking of moving home or buying a house call for further information.
