100 years young!
Last month’s Herald briefly mentioned the 100th Birthday celebrations of Mrs Doris Standley. Doris’s daughter-in-law Dinah has sent us a photo of Doris for inclusion in this month’s issue, together with a little bit more information about the area’s newest centenarian. Doris moved to Lillingstone Close, Markfield 10 years ago to be near her son John, and daughter in law Dinah, (pictured above) who both lived and worked in the village. Doris enjoyed the ladies meeting at the Methodist on Tuesday. Dinah has asked us to say thank you to the villagers for their good wishes on her mum-in-law’s 100th birthday.

Kayaking fun for Chernobyl children
The Markfield Scouts together with Quorn Activity Club ran a kayak session at Quorn Hall for the children from Chernobyl. It was a very wet session with a lot of capsizes, accidental to begin with but later most were deliberate and the coaches were kept very busy with rescues, but they all had a good time.

The Club in Thornton Your help and ideas needed to keep it open Over the last few weeks The Club, Thornton, has been struggling to make ends meet, so we had an open meeting on Wednesday 29th August. The meeting was fairly well attended, and an action committee was formed, with some good ideas, and offers of help. We will be having regular open meetings for anyone who missed this one. Please feel free to come into The Club with any ideas or offers of help at any time, or telephone Karen Orme on 01530 230631, or Alan Hill on 01530 230134, or Stuart Hearn on 01530 231043. We really would like to keep The Club open as it is a valuable facility for the village. Anyone can come in - you don’t have to be a member and you don’t have to live in Thornton. We have a premises license, and the Club boasts the only free function room in Thornton. We also have Darts and a Pool table, pick your own music with the Click and Play and Tuesday evening bingo. Where else in Thornton can you see a live band! If you’re interested in playing in our concert room on a Friday or Saturday evening, please ring Karen on 01530 230631.
