CAP Money Course

ST. JAMES MONDAY GROUP

Popular money course to run again as people say they need tactics to cope with the age of austerity Local residents are being given another chance to get their finances in order with a popular free course being run by a local church.

Members of St James in Birstall, who have been trained by UK charity Christians Against Poverty, are again running the three sessions aimed at helping the local community to best handle the current economic downturn.

Money coach Gill Chester, who will be leading the sessions called the CAP Money Course, said: “If you know how to save and budget effectively, it can have a hugely positive impact on the whole family. With households feeling the squeeze on their disposable income, we’ve all got to get a bit more savvy about our money to get through these tough times.”  St James Church is one of more than 1,000 churches of different Christian traditions across the UK who are regularly offering the course, as they work together to positively impact the communities around them.

The CAP Money Course has been found to be useful for newly retired people, soon-to-be students, mums dealing with mounting bills, families saving for a wedding and everyone in between.

She added: “We hope that we can help people, quietly and confidentially, take the guess work out of their situation so they can plan for the future, sort out any problems early and come through unscathed.”

The next course is to be held over three Monday mornings – 29th October, 5th and 12th of November 2018. All sessions will run from 10:00 to 11:45 and will be hosted at St James Church, Church Hill, Birstall LE4 4DN. • If these dates are not convenient for you, but you are interested in coming on a course, do contact us. We will try to arrange a course to suit you.

S • To find out more about the CAP Money Course visit www.capmoneycourse.org and to book your place on the course telephone 07848 144169 or email gillchester@capuk.org.

Leicester Branch of Cancer Research UK Annual Coffee Morning and Sale S Saturday November 3rd Leicester Branch of Cancer Research UK are holding their annual Coffee Morning and Sale at The Rothley Centre, Mountsorrel Lane Rothley on Saturday November 3rd 2018 from 10am to 12 noon.

Stalls will include Cakes * Books * Bric a Brac * Gifts * Handicrafts * Plants * *New Toys * Phoenix Cards * Tombola and Raffle.

Entrance will be £1 to include Coffee/ Tea and biscuits.

Come along and pick up some early Christmas presents.

Everyone is welcome – all money raised will be used in Cancer Research at Leicester University/Hospitals.

We had such a pleasant evening at our October meeting, listening to member's memories and music choices. Such a varied selection and lovely memories, as diverse as the members themselves. Lovely.

Now we are looking forward to our November meeting (on 12th November) and finding out how to help hedgehogs, and our Soup and Puddings luncheon on 17th November in St. James Church, (12 noon to 2.00 p.m.).

This is an absolute must for your pre-Christmas diaries, with home-made soups and puds, Christmas cakes and stalls with Christmas gifts and lots to give you ideas (and solutions) for your Christmas festivities.

The Baldwin Trust (our supported charity for this year) will also have a stall with gifts for sale. Last year we supported the medical detection dogs, and this has now resulted in a beautiful, adorable, golden puppy called 'Mary' who is now starting her training, and we will, happily, be able to follow her progress through to being a fully trained detection dog.

The members of the Monday Group will then be able to look forward to their own Christmas party, held in the Age Concern rooms in the Village Hall, on 10th December.

So far, performers include: The Tap Chaps, Greg and Harrison Gent, Leicester Vocal Tech Academy, James Green, The Quirkz, Courtney King and Jessica Michelle School of Dance - who are all giving up their own time to support the show.

Items will include jewellery, shabby chic furniture, home interiors and accessories, paintings and artwork, glassware, candles, cards, craft gins, local fine wines and delicatessen goods all with the emphasis on quality products which are not available on the high street.

Angie Humphries from the Trust said: “The Joe Humphries Memorial Trust was formed out of the tragic loss of my amazing son Joe who collapsed and died aged just 14 after a run with one of his best friends.

“Joe was a victim of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), a heart condition which causes sudden, unexpected death in young people and can often go undiagnosed. The void which was left by Joe’s tragically sudden death can never be filled, but Joe’s legacy is the fabulous work of the Trust created in his name (www.jhmt.org.uk) “By coming along to our Christmas craft fair, you can buy unique eclectic and beautiful gifts, have a piece of homemade cake with a cuppa and help to save young lives in the process.”

The craft fair is free to attend – although a discretionary donation on entry would be very much appreciated. All proceeds will go to the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust.

Biscuit – Joshua Smalley - Cornish creams – Pukka Pies for a month voucher

The flour dusting has settled on 2018's Great Birstall Bake Off, and with 55 entries and a great array of prizes up for grabs, it was all a great success.

All categories were superbly supported, with both genders and all ages competing for the most prestigious prize in Birstall's bakery calendar. The judging panel were astounded by the selection; in particular the ‘Under 16’ entries which were even more than ever at 25 entries.

The cakes were sold on the Best Free From morning of Chocolate Orange Cake Sunday 23rd September at the White Horse in Birstall. The weather was not so fair this year so the organisers hosted the event inside, but the pub looked fantastic festooned with Best Cake the Cake Lemon Madera decorating entries provided by Highcliffe, Riverside and Hallam Fields Primary Schools. Fortunately the damp weather did not affect the enthusiastic turnout and the crowds waited eagerly, in

anticipation of the 11am start. The coffee and cake flew out and so far £1300 was raised- a truly staggering figure.

The raffle stand was also a grand success with more prizes than ever, with an excellent selection of prizes with a delicious cake from David North of Rothley and bountiful bottles and boxes of chocolates too.

Best Decorated – Lisa PalmerBest Biscuit Red Velvet White Joshua Smalley Horse – Vintage Cake stand and Ringtons Hamper

INVESTING IN FESTIVE CELEBRATIONS Loughborough will be shining brightly at Christmas thanks to new £100,000 festive lights being installed by Charnwood Borough Council.

The new decorations are part of the Council’s continued investment in the town centre and events to attract people to Loughborough and make it a great place to visit.

Around 35 new light installations will be unveiled at the big Christmas lights switch-on event on Sunday, November 25. Cllr Jenny Bokor, lead member for Loughborough, said: “I can’t wait until the new lights are up and casting their festive warmth over the town centre.

“Every year thousands of people pack Market Place to see the lights being switched on and I am sure they will appreciate our new collection.

“While Christmas for many is about family time and fun, it is also a crucial time for our town centres and the businesses in them.

“That’s why it’s important we continue to invest in the town centre and help create an inviting place that people want to spend time in, for both the retail and leisure experience.”

The Council has appointed Lancashire-based LITE Ltd to provide its new festive lights.

The new lights will include: • Two four-metre high giant bells weighing 100kg each in Market Place • Projectors which will cast images on to the front of Loughborough Town Hall • A 60-metre light curtain to hang above Church Gate • Three four-meter high 3D chandeliers in Bedford Square • New lighting will be placed in Market Street, Market Place, Cattle Market, Town Hall, Devonshire Square, Wards End, Bedford Square, Town Hall passage, Biggin Street, Church Gate andWarners Lane The LED lights will be on display from November 25 until January 7, shining brightly for a total of 567 hours. They will have a total wattage of over 10,400 watts.

On November 25, there will be a host of festive fun in the town c entre between 1pm and 5pm for the lights switch-on. Capital FM will be returning to host the event for the second time and they will be joined by a variety of entertainment. During the day there will be a charity market and a continental market as well as arts and crafts, fairground rides and a Santa’s grotto in Carillon Court.

HIGHCLIFFE AMATEUR THEATRICAL SOCIETY (HATS) PANTOMIME 2018/19.

“Babes in the Wood” by Paul Reakes, presented by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd. January 10th, 11th, and 12th 2019.

Well, here we are again. “Oh yes we are”.

As you can see from the dates, owing to circumstances beyond our control we have had to rearrange our usual dates of performing to you in November. This is due to our recent move to the Birstall Social Club, who had a prearranged booking that coincided with our usual dates. Of course the Social Club are honouring their booking, a clear indicator of their professionalism, this is a sure sign of what we know will be a good working relationship with HATS. Babes in the Wood, how exciting is this promising to be. There will be the Babes of course, they can be a little mischievous at times, but that just adds to their charming personalities, but they can also be vulnerable. They do have a nurse, but she is no-one like you have ever seen before.

The story involves the nasty Sheriff of Nottingham, once again trying to create bad feeling amongst the townsfolk, cheating them out of their money, and making them feel worthless. In addition he has his eyes set on Maid Marion as his future wife. Is he her knight in shining armour, or is there someone else waiting to capture her heart?

If you shout loud enough and often enough, you might be able to assist in changing things and overturn the Sheriff. If you want to find out what happens, then make sure you book your tickets and come and see our fine cast, in their fine costumes, at our fabulous new Panto venue, Birstall Social Club.

Dates: Thurs Jan 10th 2019 & Fri Jan 11th 2019 at 7.15p.m. - Sat Jan 12th 2019 at 2.00p.m. & 7.00p.m.

Doors open: 30 minutes before each performance Venue: Birstall Social Club, 16-18 Wanlip Lane, Birstall LE4 4JS Tickets: £7.00, £6.00 concession, £23 family ticket.(2 adults and 2 children) Discount for group bookings of 10 or more people (price available at time of booking).
