2019 European Capital of Culture

The ancient town of Matera in Italy’s south steps into the spotlight as one of Europe’s Capitals of Culture. Matera has a unique mix of landscapes and is known as the Subterranean City. Most famous are the ‘sassi’ – districts of ancient cave dwellings. By contrast, the smart ‘new town’ is filled with open piazzas, baroque architecture and pretty houses.

A visit here can be tied in on a Southern Italy tour, taking in the neighbouring Puglia region, a famous foodie hotspot, or maybe the beautiful Amalfi Coast, or down to Sicily.

bronze was a piece of cake for top Napton Baker Local Napton businesswoman Tracey Smedley invited me to view her prize wedding cake that scooped Bronze Award at the prestigious Cake International Show 2018 at the NEC in Birmingham, (the world's largest cake competition). I was totally blown away by the unique and

intricate masterpiece before me. Surprisingly, I was not shocked to hear that Tracey had spent over a thousand hours working on the precision detailing.

After baking initially impressive cakes for her friends and family, just three years ago, it became clear that Tracey had a flair for baking and cake decoration. Since then of course, her business has gone from strength to strength, with her cakes becoming more impressive with each one produced.

Tracey is extremely qualified to take on your next masterpiece, call her today on 07812 063370 to talk through your ideas or visit www.traceyloucakes.com for prices and more information.

Award winning cakes for any occasion!

Bespoke cakes designed and made with love...

Are you looking for cakes that will make your celebration memorable, as well as being tasty and great to eat?

Then look no further!

TraceyLou offers cake creations that make eyes shine, children clap with excitement, mothers-in-law dab away tears of joy and remembrance, and old souls dance.

They take inspiration. Sometimes they evenneed a little engineering skill. But always, they take love. But love takes timeso why not tell Tracey what you’re looking for as soon as you know your big date? That way, she can be sure to exceed your expectations and delight your loved ones!

SPREAD THE WORD What's going on in Southam & Villages?

Southam & District Lions enable

Father Christmas to meet many more children this year

Because Southam and some of the surrounding villages have had a large increase in housing Father Christmas could not visit all of the locations covered in previous years. Instead he stopped at 4 or 5 designated places each evening. The local residents were advised where these would be and what time Santa would arrive there. This worked very well. At each stop there were long queues of parents with their children, eager to see Santa. They each received individual attention and a packet of chocolate drops. Santa sat proudly in his newly refurbished sleigh with a magnificent show of glittering lights and the sound of Christmas songs. The Lions Club are grateful for the work of Jaguar-Land Rover in renovating the sleigh, also for the loan of a Discovery to tow the sleigh and transport the ‘elves’ (Lion Club members and other volunteers) between locations. Meanwhile Santa’s elves toured the vicinity knocking on doors and receiving donations from the residents, who gave generously. The charity chosen to benefit from these donations this year is the Leamington-based Lily Mae foundation, which supports parents and families after the loss of a baby.

Only one evening venture was cancelled due to bad weather, otherwise the new schedule worked very successfully, and wFather Christmas was able to meet many more children this year. Very well done to all the Lions, their ladies and other volunteers in braving the weather to take Santa along to meet the children and especially to Lions Malcolm Jakeway, Steve Hoyle & Terry Grey for devising such an effective schedule.

Stagecoach has arrived in Southam

Y

oung children become more confident and develop lifelong skills at our safe, fun and welcoming classes, now at Southam Primary School. Here, children aged four to six are introduced to the performing arts through our fabulous range of Early Stages singing, dancing and acting classes.

In our singing classes, children learn new songs and find out about rhythm, timing and how sounds are formed. Our dancing classes give kids the confidence to try new dance moves, while our drama sessions allow budding young actors to role play and practise improvisation and storytelling.

Weekly classes are held during term time and are split into three 30 minute classes with equal time devoted to singing, dancing and acting. Each term runs for approximately 12 weeks.

A two week trial* costs ÂŁ25 for Early Stages (4-6 year olds) and lasts for 90 minutes each week. If you wish to continue with Stagecoach after the trial is over, simply talk to your Stagecoach Performing Arts School Principal.

For more information, please call customer services on 01926 702725 or contact your local Stagecoach school. *The two week trial must be taken within the first four weeks of a Stagecoach term. The two weeks must be consecutive.

Testimonial Dear Ian

Just a note to say a big thank you to you and your team at Doors and Drawers. The Kitchen refurb project was handled expertly and professionally from start to finish from the advice and support in creating the design to the selection of work tops and units.

The installation including a major floor retile was carried out on time with the minimum of disruption and quality, finish and attention to detail was excellent.

Many thanks to Doors and Drawers Simon and Amy Ward Crick Near Rugby
