Newbold Verdon
JAZZ CLUB THE LATEST band to play at Newbold Jazz Club was Baby Jools and the Jazzaholics who always give us a great night of jazz. They started by playing ‘You Always Hurt the One You Love’ and included many favourites in their sets finishing with a rousing ‘High Society’. The band line up of Mike Owen on trombone and also vocals, together with Karl Hird on reeds and Danny Illet on trumpet were backed up by the rhythm section provided by Jim Swinnerton, who has a style of his own on double bass, Brian Mellor on banjo and of course Baby Jools on drums. This is a band that never fails to please the audience. We look forward to seeing them again later in the year. • NEXT MONTH we look forward to the return of The Wabash Jazzmen another very good band. Do come along on April 5th to Newbold Verdon Social Club and join us. Doors open at 7.00pm and music from 8.00 – 10.30pm. Admission £9.00, with drinks and snacks at club prices. For more details contact Kelvin on 01455 822824 or Pauline on 01162 865496.
Letter
Are our parks just for dog walkers? FURTHER to Z. White’s letter about dog mess in the village. Another worrying development is the increase of abuse from some dog owners towards parents/grandparents trying to protect children from being chased, knocked over, licked all over or bitten by ‘over-excited or exuberant’ dogs that are not on a lead or under control. On Saturday 9th February, my daughter and I were on Marina Park with four of my grandchildren, aged 2-5 years old. We were confronted by a couple out with their dogs. We had reassured the children when we had seen the dogs chasing around a few minutes previously and then suddenly one quite large dog appeared bounding straight for my nervous 5 year old grandson, who had been hurt previously by a dog. He was standing on the top of the cycle track and fell backwards down the track, hurting himself and panicking at an uncontrolled dog in front of him. My daughter picked him up as he was distraught. At this point the owner came up and I told him his dog was not under control. He accused me of being aggressive and told my daughter she was not helping the child to become accustomed to dogs by picking him up. He then told me it was my responsibility to warn dog owners in advance that we don’t want dogs jumping up at us or slobbering on us! My wife has also been verbally abused and accused of being ‘overprotective and dramatic’ for stopping two large dogs from bounding up to our vulnerable 2 year old granddaughter in a buggy. We are not all dog lovers and many children have had bad experiences from lively dogs. Walking in the park has now become an intimidating experience. What do your other readers feel?
