Shepshed History Society The start of the new year saw Shepshed History Society on

Tuesday January 10th having as

their speaker Mr. Stephen Hartley, a National Trust guide for both

give the society a very in teresting account of Canons Ashby, a

rural picturesque home of the

Dryden family set in the heart of Northamptonshire and is now open to the public.

The name derives from the then local Augustian Priory which

was located in close proximity to the present day house. The

unsual name is derived from the Canons from the Priory which dates back to the 1100’s and

Shepshed Town Council Bags £4,000.00 From Carrier Bag Charge Fund Shepshed Town Council is delighted to announce it has bagged £4,000.00 from a Tesco funding scheme.

Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help funding initiative, which sees grants of up to £5,000, £2,000 and £1,000 all raised from the 5p bag levy - being awarded to local outdoor community projects every month.

Millions of shoppers voted in stores up and down the country. And it can now be revealed Shepshed Town Council has been awarded £4,000.00. Work will now begin on bringing the project to life.

Children’s Play Area Glenmore Park Shepshed Town Council wishes to thank everyone who voted for this project and is looking forward to getting the work underway very soon.

Lindsey Crompton, Tesco’s Head of Community, said: “Bags of Help has been a fantastic success.

We been overwhelmed by the response of our customers and it’s been great to give people a say on how the money will be spent in their community. We can’t wait to see the projects come to life.”

Voting ran in stores from 1st December to 31st December with customers choosing which local project they would like to get the top award using a token given to

them at the check-out in store.

Since launching in 2015, Bags of Help has awarded more than £25 million across more than 3,000 local projects.

Tesco customers will get the chance to vote for three different groups each month. At the end of each month, when votes are collected, three groups in each of Tesco’s regions will be awarded funding.

Groundwork’s national chief executive, Graham Duxbury, said: “It’s just the beginning for Bags of Help and we’re really excited about the future. The scheme will be permanently open for applications, and as grants can now be used for not just the development of, but also for the use of local outdoor spaces, we expect even more groups will now have the chance to benefit.

“It’s projects like these that really help to capture the public’s imagination by illustrating what can be achieved when communities are given the support and the encouragement they need to create better places where they live.”

Funding is available to groups who are seeking to use and develop outdoor spaces in ways that will benefit their local community.

Anyone can nominate a local project and local organisations can apply. To find out more visit www.tesco.com/bagsofhelp

Review On Light A Life From the middle of November, shops TV, media and advertising collude to convince us that Christmas is magical, full of joy and fulfilment, cares are banished and laughing children reinforce the message that sadness and anxiety have no place in the festivities.

But what if bereavement means that sorrow is the overwhelming emotions felt at Christmas? How do you observe it then?

This was only the second time St Botolph’s Church had put on a “Light a life”.

I knew how I felt at Christmas after having suffered bereavement myself.

The First year we had 30 people come through the church doors, some whom we knew, others who had no previous contact with our church.

This Christmas, we opened our doors again, after advertising it more to everyone in the village, and not just people who come to church, everyone was welcome. On the dot at 2pm the first person entered through the door very nervously, then people continued coming through. Many stayed sitting quietly in church, after lighting a candle, writing messages or prayers and placing them on the memory tree, others needed supporting while they spoke of their love ones. We had people who came from Long Whatton, Loughborough and Hathern.

Between 2-6pm we had 67 people, and all were grieving, hurting, looking, for answers, peace and Hope. All were here for the same reason. But for us to reach out to everybody gave them the opportunity to come into church and have time and space to reflect and remember their loved ones.

The feedback was that this was the first time they had ever spoken and opened up to anyone about how they were feeling. This was very special.

Another person said “this has made my Christmas “ she’d been looking for this space for a long time and found it. She was full of depression and darkness and had been since the death of her husband. She had been given the hope she’d been looking for.

It’s our privilege to offer space. Space, where the reality of life with all its grief and pain does not have to be left at the church doors, but can sit alongside the hope and light which is the real heart of Christmas.

Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there is great love.

Here are some of the messages we received after Light a life: “What a lovely Idea”.

“Really liked the peace and quiet, and to be able to light a candle and write a prayer”.

“Loved the Big Teddy in the memory corner for all to have a cuddle with and then being given a sweet, that was a really nice touch”.

“How nice it was that it was being recognised that Christmas can be a very difficult time for people”.

“Thank you so much to all involved in the Light a life afternoon held in church. I didn’t know what to expect or what I’d experience that afternoon, but upon entering one immediately felt a calm and peaceful ambience. To light a candle in memory of my loved ones was a very moving moment, and brought me great comfort”.

“Thank you for the opportunity to just sit quietly, in thoughtful contemplation. In the dimly lit church, the gentle flickering candle lights created an atmosphere of calm, warmth and more importantly of Love”.

“Time to remember those we have no longer nearby, and those we have around us”.

God bless you all, and I hope you all find peace and hope this year.

Diane Melton Pastoral Assistant St Botolphs church.

Shepshed Association For The Prosecution Of Felons AGM & Dinner Friday 24th February 2017 at Shepshed High School, Forest Street, Shepshed, 7:00pm for 7:30pm.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, before the creation of a national police force, rural communities formed mutual subscription societies to prosecute criminals. These evolved out of resolutions passed at parish vestry meetings to prosecute felons out of the public purse. The Shepshed Association for the Prosecution of Felons was formed prior to 1825 and existed to ensure law and order was maintained in Shepshed.

On Friday 24th February 2017 The Shepshed Association for the Prosecution of Felons, existing of some 125 members will show their support for the local police force by coming together for their AGM and dinner.

A toast to the Leicestershire Police Force will be proposed by Geoff

Feavyour, retired Chief Superintendent of Leicestershire Police Force and now Head of Security at Loughborough University. The response, on behalf of the Police, will come from Roger Bannister, Deputy Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police. The guest of honour this year will be Richard Cox, retired Tribunal Judge.

Dress code for the evening is lounge suits, dinner will be provided by Carillon Rooms Catering and a bar will be available during the course of the evening.

The Association would like to hear from anyone who may be interested in joining them by contacting the Hon. Secretary, Keith Campsall on 01509 506901 or email kcampsall@sky.com, existing Association members should have received their invitation already, if not, please contact a member of the committee.

Shepshed Probus Club The President welcomed members, guests and our speaker to the January meeting of The Shepshed Probus Club and wished all a Happy New Year.

The apologies for absence and routine club business and notices were given by the Secretary including notice of the a.g.m. in March.

After the usual humerous tale by one of our members luncheon was taken followed by the raffle draw with two worthy winners after which the President then introduced Mike Gillingham our speaker for today. His talk was entitled”P.L.U.T.O.Pipeline Under The Ocean” This was a history of the project undertaken to manufacture and lay a 3 inch diameter pipe across the English Channel initially from the Isle of Wight to pump petrol to supply the war offensive into Europe in WW2. Much detail was given based on the speakers research over several years. The engineering and installation techniques used were described from the initial concept to full operation. Many miles of pipeline were laid, millions of gallons of fuel supplied to our forces through the pipes laid from huge drums on specially adapted ships. Pipelines were laid from the I.O.W.and Dungeness to Cherbourg and Boulogne and used till 1945. Thank were given for the talk which for many members was a real eye-opener.

Our next meeting is on 6th February when member Mike Smith will give a talk “Cold War Russia” New members are welcome. Contact the Secretary on 01509-769802 for details.

Hospital Thanks Coalville Charity For £28,000 Scanner Last week the new Volusion Scanner was formally launched at Leicester Royal Infirmary where Doctors and Nurses were ecstatic over the performance of this best in class equipment and full of praise for Coalville based charity Brown Dog who provided the funding for the scanner.

Local man Mark Storer (and founder of Brown Dog - shown centre picture) told the Times how this new scanner provides amazing detailed pictures and 3D images which enables a more accurate and quicker diagnosis to be achieved, which means if it is ovarian, womb or cervical cancer treatment can be accelerated to address the cancer and save lives.

At the launch, the hospital staff explained how the scanner was already making a significant difference, not only from a diagnostic perspective, but particularly from a patient care perspective where women going through a very worrying time can be re-assured much quicker. There are also cost saving advantages due to the high quality 3D images that are providing accurate results without sending women to have an MRI scan which can often be very stressful for many women. All the Doctors and staff at the Royal wanted to thank Brown Dog and all it's supporters for this amazing gift.

In addition to the £28,000 scanner, £7,000 was provided by Brown Dog to purchase new, thinner and better Hysteroscopes which are used in the out-patient unit to identify cancer. They are particularly useful in diagnosing womb cancer which is very much on the increase in Leicestershire and across the UK (this can be seen in the picture, held above the scanner) Grace Wardle (Communications Manager for Brown Dog - shown front left) explained that most of the money had been raised from the 2016 Brown Dog challenge last June, where 45 people walked 44 miles along the Exmoor coast in 24 hours (including walking through the night). She went on to say that because the Brown Dog charity has no overheads, every single pound donated is used to purchase vital equipment like this. Grace, also from Coalville, said that everyone involved with the charity is so grateful to all the people who supported us and thanked everyone involved.

Martha Storer (next to Grace) added that other events like the Annual Brown Dog Netball Competition, support from the Asian Lawyers Society and fundraising provided by local company DHL at East Midlands Airport all contributed to the £40,000 that was raised in 2016. Martha praised everyone connected with these events for their support, particularly the Netball which she organised with her partner Sam Carline (back left).

In 2017 Brown Dog have another through the night walking event on 9th/10th June called the Stargaze Challenge, which takes place in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, where people have the option to walk the whole 52 miles or just do half of it. So whether you want a reason to get fit, experience a through the night walk, want to walk through fantastic countryside or just raise money for a great cause you are invited to join (if over 18) - just go on the Brown Dog website for more information www. cancerbrowndog.co.uk or send an email to markstorer1@hotmail.co.uk Finally Mark Storer added that 2017 is a special year for Brown Dog as (all being well) this is the year we hope to hit our half a million pounds raised target - come and join us and help us achieve this and deliver more vital equipment to help men, women and children fighting cancer.

Gothla UK Photo Display At St Botolph’s Church, Shepshed St Botolph’s Church in Shepshed is hosting a display by Sue Hutton LRPS for the next four weeks, featuring photography of performers at Gothla UK between 2013 to 2016.

Sue was a founder member of Gothla UK, a gothic belly dance festival based in Leicester. She created and maintained the original website.

Belly dance is a popular activity for women, giving them opportunities

to socialize, get exercise, design and make costumes and plan their own choreographies to express themselves. Gothic belly dance is a more darkly dramatic and theatrical form of the genre.

Since its foundation in 2006, Gothla UK has invited international and UK

performers to give workshops over a weekend in July as well as a show-

case of their talents. From small beginnings, the festival has become very successful. The photos were taken during performances at the showcase.

Sue Hutton is a member of Shepshed and District Camera Club and of the Royal Photographic Society. Her website is at www.soozvyooz.uk The photographic exhibition at St Botolph’s will run for three to four

weeks. The church is invariably open on Tuesday and Saturday mornings between 9.30 am to 12.30 pm, when visitors are made welcome and

enjoy tea, coffee and biscuits. The church is also open at service times on

Sundays and Wednesdays. Contact Sue Hutton for arrangements outside those hours.

Great Central Railway Salutes Valiant Volunteers Sixty six volunteers with more than forty years of service - a staggering two thousand six hundred years combined!

Directors. The evening culminated with the presentation of the long service awards to people who have loyally served the project.

The Great Central Railway has celebrated the volunteers who keep the award winning Leicestershire line alive and uncovered a staggering track record. Sixty six of them have each clocked up more than forty years of service. To put it another way, that's two thousand and six hundred years combined!

Chief Executive Andy Munro said, "As we started adding up the numbers, we couldn't believe how many people have been committed to the railway for so long. In total, sixty six people have been volunteers for forty years or more. Combined, that's an extraordinary two thousand six hundred years of service. It is the sort of record many companies can only dream of, so it was absolutely right that we salute their dedication. Along with all of our volunteers, it's their effort which continues to keep the Railway alive".

More than three hundred volunteers attended a dinner event at Leicester's King Power stadium.

The aim was to celebrate all who give their time to the line and was personally supported by the

Garth The Dog Offers Award Winning Advice To New Owners An advice leaflet ‘written’ by Garth the dog has been highly commended by the RSPCA. The leaflet, which has been produced by Charnwood Borough Council, was Highly Commended at the RSPCA’s Community Animal Welfare Footprint (CAWF) awards in the Innovator category.

The council also won gold at the CAWF awards for its work to look after stray dogs in the borough.

The leaflet offers advice for new owners who adopt a dog from the council’s College Garth kennels in Hathern, Loughborough.

The advice is written in plain English, from the point of view of Garth the

The original Great Central Railway finally closed in 1969. That year, a number of people met in the waiting room at Leicester Central station to discuss how a section of the line could be preserved as a home for large steam locomotives.

At the dinner some of those founding fathers were present, meaning they are approaching half a century of service.

They come from all walks of life and work right across the railway from restoration of priceless heritage to running the trains, all of which will be on show at the Railway’s Winter Gala this coming weekend 27-29th January.

Andy continued "We have around seven hundred volunteers at the

GCR from all age groups and its great to see young people working alongside more experienced engineers and volunteers. People are passionate about volunteering and helping to shape the future.

With major developments coming down the line in the years ahead, there is a real buzz of excitement in the air. It's a great time to get involved and experience the passionate team spirit."

The Great Central is developing a heritage lottery funded museum at its southern terminus in conjunction with the National Railway Museum and Leicester City Council. It is also working to create and eighteen mile heritage railway across the East Midlands.

dog, who gives tips on tasks such as sleeping arrangements, walks and feeding time.

Councillor David Hayes, Deputy Lead Member for Regulatory Services said: “It’s fantastic to have achieved not one, but two commendations from the RSPCA. “We work hard to ensure stray dogs are either reunited with their owners or re-homed.

“It’s also important that we make sure that owners know how to look after their dog, particularly as many of our adopted dogs have had bad experiences with their former owners in the past.

“Our leaflet gives people practical advice to make sure that you can have a happy and safe relationship with your dog.”

Rachel Williams, Senior Parliamentary Advisor at the RSPCA said: “Garth's rehoming leaflet is a truly innovative

approach to helping both owner and animal have the best possible start in their new lives together.

in the CAWF awards is fantastic and something that all of the staff involved should be very proud of.”

“We've not seen a leaflet written in this friendly, accessible style anywhere else in the country, and it's proof that improving animal welfare doesn't have to be hugely complicated.

Winter Scent With the grey skies and chilly winds we are experiencing at the moment, it can be tempting to shut off from the outside world and hunker down beside a roaring fire, but the garden doesn’t shut itself down completely in winter and it is possible to plant a few things which brighten up the drab days and even add some fragrance to the air to draw you outside.

Crocus

Sarcococca

Despite the fact that most of our pollinating insects don’t venture out on cold days, there are a few who brave the weather, and from that we can benefit. There are shrubs and bulbs which flower during the winter and in order to attract those brave insects they have to go all out the give off the signal that they are worthy of a visit. Scent is a great way of plants to advertise that they are in their prime and have something on offer to those insects.

Winter fragrance can range from heady and intoxicating which you notice from several meters away to delicate perfume which you need to stoop down to experience. As an added bonus winter flowering plants often flower for longer than summer bloomers.

Viburnum – The best for this time of year is V. Bodnantense. There are several cultivated forms of this highly scented shrub, the most well known of which in V. Bod. ‘Dawn’. An upright shrub, it carries pale pink flower clusters at the end of it’s branches on and off for November to March depending on the weather. Suitable for the back of a border due to it’s height.

Sarcococca (A.K.A Winter Box) – I am a great fan of this shrub as it offers not only heavily scented white flowers in winter but they are also followed by small blackblue berries and surrounded by deep green glossy foliage.

Some varieties can reach 1-1.5m at maturity but if you choose S. Humilis or a similar compact form, it can be grown in a pot and moved closer to the house when in flower.

Mahonia – Mentioned in a couple of my recent articles, this shrub is at it’s best now. The large scented yellow flowers are showy, brightening up otherwise dull borders and the scent is caught by the air and drifts around the garden, particularly on mild days. belgriersondesign info@belgrierson.co.uk

There are several different forms available (see my January article for more info).

Skimmia – A very popular shrub, often bought for the burgundy buds found on S. Rubella. These buds are held into winter and then finally burst to reveal cream blooms with a light scent. Several other varieties also bear winter berries.

Snowdrops – One of those winter scent plants you have to bend down to smell, Snowdrops not only add a delicate white froth to the ground in winter but a gentle honey-like perfume too. Varieties such as ‘Magnet’, ‘S.Arnott’ & ‘Atkinsii’ are noted for their fragrance.

Crocus – A showy bulb for late winter, Crocus add a very colourful splash and lend themselves to being grown in borders, pots and rockeries. They carry a gentle honey-like perfume. Some Crocus have large showy petals and can be combined with winter flowering bedding plants for a good show.

More elegant forms such as C. Tommasinianus and is good for naturalising beneath shrubs and trees or in the lawn or meadow.

I hope I have inspired you to add some winter scent to your garden.

Next month I’ll be looking at bulbs to plant for summer colour in borders and pots.

Changes To Groby Road And NW Leicestershire Services From 19th February 2017 Groby Road corridor (Leicester): Services are now every 10 minutes between the city centre and County Hall.

Service 26: Leicester-Groby-Coalville A revised timetable is being introduced to improve punctuality.

Service 27: Leicester to Ratby We are changing the timetable in response to increased traffic congestion in Leicester. Due to low passenger numbers at certain times of day Whittington Drive will now only be served on off-peak journeys.

Service 28: Leicester to Groby This service is being incorporated into other services due to low passenger numbers. Some sections of route will no longer be served. Customers currently boarding in Glebe Road and Pymm Leys Lane can use alternative services from Woodbank Road (26), Laundon Way Shops (27), or Leicester Road (26, 29, 29A).

Service 9/9A: Coalville to Burton We are changing the timetable in response to increased traffic congestion in Leicester and Burton. Services are renumbered 29 (from 9) and 29A (from 9A) and will have the same number all the way through from Leicester to Burton to make it easier for customers to know which route their bus will take between Coalville and Burton.

Service 29/29A/29X: Leicester to Coalville 29X withdrawn and replaced additional journeys on service 29 and 29A. Services 29 and 29A will now operate up to every 20mins between Leicester and Coalville via Markfield Village Centre, Groby, Greenhill and Whitwick.

The times of buses serving the Amazon warehouse at Bardon are revised to better fit their shifts and additional journeys are introduced to meet all their shift times 7 days a week.

Service 11: Coalville to Agar Nook We're revising the frequency of service 11 due to changing customer demand. Buses will now run up to every 15 minutes (previously every 10 minutes) between Agar Nook, Greenhill and Coalville town centre. The area will also benefit from the more frequent 29/29A service.

Service 15: Coalville to lbstock We're revising the frequency of service 15 on Saturdays due to changing customer demand. The service will continue to operate but at a revised frequency of every 30 minutes.

Their search brought up numerous artefacts, old and new, including various coins, pottery from the 18th and 19th century, clay pipes, buttons, badges and military relics such as musket /pistol balls from pre

The highlight of all the finds was a silver coin of William III dating to 1700 which was probably a sixpence. This particular coin had been made into a 'Love Token'. There was a custom where a young man would give a smoothed bent coin, which had had the Monarch's head obliterated and then bent twice to a potential sweetheart. If his sweetheart accepted the advances the young lady would keep the token - if not she disposed of the coin... The tradition is reflected in the old rhyme "There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile, he found a crooked sixpence on a crooked style".

The artefacts will be on display at the School for the children to see in the new year and, although they are of no great worth, they all have a story behind them and bring a little bit of our local history alive.

NICKY MORGAN

I hope you have had a good start to 2017. Looking backwards briefly I was really delighted to be at the Christmas concert at St Botolph’s Church where Charnwood Concert Band and Shepshed’s Serenade Choir gave wonderful performances. It was a great start to Christmas and a pleasure to be there with so many people from the town. The event was also very successful raising hundreds of pounds for the church and local charities.

I recently had one of my regular catch up meetings with Shepshed High School and Hind Leys College Head, Matthew Parrott.

This is going to be a busy year of change in Shepshed’s schools but I think the changes will work well and ultimately leave education in the town in a stronger place.

I then met Education Minister, Lord Nash, to follow up on our conversation and get his support on a number of issues.

I have been pleased in recent weeks to be able to ask questions in the House of Commons on behalf of local constituents – whether about working tax credit on behalf of a Shepshed constituent, issues with pensions, the importance of respecting neighbourhood plans or asking Ministers to support and approve the application by Charnwood Campus to become the country’s’ first Life Science Opportunity Zone.

When I speak to constituents and groups about my role as

your MP I often explain how the conversations I have and surgery cases I deal with here are followed up in Westminster. Asking questions in Parliament is a perfect example of this so I am grateful to everyone who shares their thoughts and concerns with me.

It was a pleasure to be able to welcome members of the De Lisle College school council and staff to Westminster recently.

Although they had a very early start to their day they enjoyed the tour of Parliament with the excellent guides and learnt many interesting facts about the building and the way the Palace of Westminster works. I look forward to welcoming many of you to Parliament during 2017.

On Friday 3rd March I will be holding a special pre-Budget business breakfast at a venue in the middle of Loughborough.

Small Business Minister Margot James will be joining us. If you have any sort of business connection and would like to contribute your ideas on policy and meet fellow business people then do get in touch so we can send you an invitation. I hope to arrange another Shepshed business breakfast with your County Councillor, Christine Radford soon too.

I wish all Shepshed Eye readers a successful, healthy and happy 2017.

Swap The Suits For Football Boots And Join In A Corporate Kick-About Organisations in Charnwood are being urged to swap the boardroom for the football pitch and take part in a corporate kick about.

The annual corporate football tournament is organised by Charnwood Borough Council, and encourages local businesses to go head to head in a friendly game of football.

The event will be held on Saturday, March 11 at Rawlins Academy 3G pitches in Quorn, from 11.30am to 4.30pm.

Councillor Jonathan Morgan, Charnwood Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Customer Services, said: “The tournament is a great opportunity for workplaces across the borough to socialize and team-build while enjoying a game of football. It’s also a great way to get active and is part of our commitment to ensure residents are living healthy lifestyles. Businesses can enter as many teams as they like and we’d encourage players of all levels to get involved and enjoy the game.”

All players need to be employees from the same organisation and teams must be of the same gender. Each team can have between six and nine players. Entry is £50 per team and the deadline for entry is Friday, March 3.

For more information or to download an application form visit www.charnwood.gov.uk/pages/football_tournament or contact the Active Together Team on 01509 632536 or email active.together@charnwood.gov.uk

CHRISTINE RADFORD As your County Councillor, I am always on hand to try and deal with any concerns you may have about services provided by Leicestershire County Council. Such as street lighting, highways, footpaths, overhanging trees and hedges into the highways, social services etc.

Leicester, Leicestershire And Rutland Combined Fire Service I sit on the Fire Service as a representative of the above and would like to bring to your attention the draft 2017/20 Budget Strategy.

I am delighted to reveal, rather than doom and gloom with further cuts, a more optimistic financial outlook which means Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service is in a much stronger position than it has been in for more than two years. As a result, the draft budget strategy has some really positive proposals – here are some of the highlights: Instead of the recent trend to cut the numbers of firefighters, the CFA (Combined Fire Authority) is proposing to increase the number of wholetime firefighters and for the first time in more than FOUR years, the CFA will be recruiting new wholetime and firefighters in 2017.

The CFA is able to provide funding to buy new operational equipment that will improve the way that emergencies can be managed and resolved.

The CFA is able to provide funding to buy new vehicles to replace those that have come to the end of their usable life.

The CFA is able to set aside funds so that apprentice firefighters can be employed in around 18 months’ time.

All of these proposals will be possible and limiting the increase in its Council Tax to under 2% which is quite an achievement.

Nick Rushton, Chairman of the CFA, commented “We have been working really hard over the last twelve months to make savings wherever we could without affecting the quality of our frontline emergency response capability. The relationship that the Chief and his team have with the Fire Brigades’ Union is much stronger that it has been and there is far less conflict in the fire and rescue service than there has been in recent times.”

CHRISTINE RADFORD

Steve Lunn, Chief Fire and Rescue Officer, said “We’ve exceeded all our savings targets in the last year and we’ve managed to achieve them without having to even consider redundancies. The support that I have received from the CFA has been fantastic and I am looking forward to welcoming our cohort of new firefighters this autumn – the first in more than four years!”
