Welcome A staycation is the idea of taking a trip somewhere a little closer to home as opposed to travelling abroad.

Whether you choose to take a short trip or go somewhere for a little longer, there are many advantages of staying closer to home and with the popularity of staycations, motor home sales appear to be at an all time high as people are looking to invest in their lifestyle - see our feature on page 32.

Lincolnshire usually offers plenty of reasons for staycations during the summer months and the region is brimming with events as we approach the main summer season including The Lincolnshire Show, King William’s return to Lincoln Castle, Thorpe Camp 1940s event and much more. Check out our Diary Dates section for a great selection of things to do in and around Lincoln over the next six weeks.

Oh my God (I can’t believe it)... If, like me, you’re a fan of The Kaiser Chiefs, don’t forget to check out our competition on page 39 to win two tickets for this not to be missed summer performance at Market Rasen Racecourse.. It promises to be a riot!

There’s plenty more inside, so I hope you enjoy reading and please keep your diary dates and news coming in.

Your valued contributions are greatly appreciated.

Lincs Scene, now with guaranteed delivery by Royal Mail’s trusted postal service Since launching in 2013, Lincs Scene has been delivered door to door by independent distributors.

Most of these distributors only deliver to easy to reach areas, where their work can be completed quickly and cost effectively (ie. large housing estates), ignoring those harder to reach spread out homes in remote locations, which can pose a bit of a problem in rural Lincolnshire! Their work can often be difficult to verify and the figures they quote for homes per area are often very conflicting.

Scene News our supermarket stocked copies now totals more than 35,000* and response rates are very impressive too.

Don’t just take our word for it. A recent survey conducted by DMIS Door to Door Trends concluded: “People don’t ignore their post. They take time to look through it, their mind is focused on the task and they’re ready to read so any unaddressed door drop material that’s part of the mail is much more likely to be taken on board.”

If you would like your business to be marketed regularly to over 35,000 homes in the Lincoln area (compared to circa 10,000 copies of any single competing title), then choose Lincs Scene and Royal Mail, ensuring your business message reaches more potential customers than ever before.

We pride our publications on community integrity and customer focus and have now chosen to use the best and most reliable distribution network in the UK, Royal Mail, as we don’t take the trust that our advertisers place in us lightly.

Royal Mail distribution ensures that all homes and businesses within the post code sectors we select are guaranteed to receive a copy of Lincs Scene with their regular post, come rain or shine.

This new method gives our advertising customers peace of mind as the service is guaranteed and we are the only magazine offering such a reliable and extensive distribution.

Some publications leave large bundles of magazines in shops and business premises to be picked up and quote misleading ‘readership’ figures, most likely to persuade potential advertisers that their distribution is extensive, but magazines need to be in the homes of readers and potential customers, not sat in reception waiting areas never to be picked up.

The true value of advertising lies in the responses generated.

Lincs Scene is by far the largest free publication in the area and the only magazine offering complete transparency of distribution and readership - resulting in excellent response rates and good return on investment. If advertising is ‘cheap’, there’s usually a very good reason and if your advertisement generates no responses, your bargain deal is in fact a complete waste of money. Be very cautious and if you’re unsure, ask the publisher to prove their distribution methods and request referrals.

In a world where technology is taking over we remember the vast population who aren’t ‘tech savvy’ and still prefer the print alternatives. Royal Mail distribution of Lincs Scene together with

Captain William Bligh

Heritage & Culture

The name of Captain William Bligh is one of the most notorious in naval history, but this reputation has more to do with Hollywood’s version of The Mutiny on the Bounty than with the situation as seen by his contemporaries.

In 1787 Bligh was given command of HMS Bounty whose mission was to transport breadfruit trees from Tahiti in the south Pacific to the West Indies. Delays in the voyage meant that the Bounty arrived at Tahiti at the wrong time of year, so until the breadfruit plants were mature the crew spent five months of hedonistic idleness on this tropical island. The mutiny broke out when the Bounty finally set sail in April 1789, with the mutineers intent on a return to Tahiti.

It is telling that not only were the mutineers in a minority of the Bounty’s crew (although they succeeded because they had seized control of the firearms) but also that so many members of the crew remained loyal to Bligh that when they were “cast adrift in an open boat” several who wished to accompany him had to be left behind on the ship.

Captain Bligh saved himself and those with him by an astonishing feat of navigation which saw their open boat travel more than 3,000 miles to the nearest European settlement at Kupang on the island of Timor in Indonesia.

On his return to Britain he was acquitted at a court-martial in October 1790 and the following year he was placed in command of HMS Providence for a second, and successful, voyage to transport breadfruit from Tahiti to the West Indies. Among his officers on this occasion was Lincolnshire’s own Matthew Flinders.

His subsequent career included service under Nelson at the battle of Copenhagen, the Governorship of New South Wales, and a great deal of naval survey work. This is what brought him

to the shores of Lincolnshire in command of HMS Director in 1797 when he compiled a survey of the Humber Estuary, a copy of which is held at Lincolnshire Archives.

William Bligh was eventually promoted to the rank of vice admiral of the blue and died in 1817, aged 63.

Above: Portrait of William Bligh, in master’s uniform c. 1776 by John Webber.

Left: Detail from Captain Bligh’s survey of the Humber Estuary, compiled in 1797 and revised in 1805, which includes the following memorandum: ‘All that can be said of entering the Humber in the night is to keep the High Light a handspike’s length open to the southward of the Low Light until you advance within a couple of miles of it, then steer in N.N.W. by compass until the Lights bear N.N.E. when you are to haul round the Spurn Point and steer as the leading marks direct’.

Motorhome staycations on the rise

Lifestyle

A staycation is the idea of taking a trip somewhere a little closer to home, such as taking the opportunity to visit somewhere in your home country as opposed to travelling abroad.

Whether you choose to take a short trip or go somewhere for a little longer, there are many advantages of staying closer to home.

It was an icon of the ’60s, a carefree, hippy way of motoring around the country, stopping for the night by the roadside in front of stunning views.

Now the campervan is making a comeback, growing even faster than the boom in family camping. But far from the “turn on, tune in, drop out” vibe of 50 years ago motor homes are being sold for six-figure sums, close to the average house price and containing everything from gas hobs to wine coolers.

It is a telling pointer to the increasing popularity of modern motorhomes and the parks and sites they go to that the industry expects a record number of ‘staycationers’ this summer.

Above: Newer model motorhomes come complete with all the fixtures and fittings for a luxury staycation. Below: The iconic 60s campervan. with the popularity of staycations and a buoyant motorhome market, the company are receiving many enquires from new and experienced campers looking to upgrade.

With the vast improvements in the lightweight and more durable construction of the latest tourers, be that caravans or motorhomes, and the matching advances in the quality and user-friendliness of the sites they visit it is no wonder that more people are waking up to the appeal of holidaying in this country.

Touring is as easy as packing and hitching and setting off to a destination of your choice. There is much more freedom than jetting off on a package tour and, of course, there is the added benefit that a motorhome can be used at any time of the year, for a short weekend break or a longer holiday.

We can sometimes forget what’s on our own doorstep; there is so much culture and so many sightseeing points only a matter of hours away. Whether you fancy spending some time relaxing on a beach or you’d prefer exploring a city you’ve never been to, you’ll find tons of fun without leaving the country.

And this, plus the investment they represent, is driving the increasing popularity. Unlike the cost of a one-off holiday abroad, a motorhome holds its value well, which makes them very good value for money.

Indeed, trade experts say that registrations of new motorhomes increased by 16 per cent in the January to April period this year, against the same time a year ago and dealers are predicting a strong year.

Eccleshare Court Care Home support dementia care golf fundraiser

Charity

A pioneering dementia care service held its’ first fundraising event at Lincoln Golf Centre recently, raising a fantastic £1,500 for the project. Members of Lincoln Golf Centre together with local businesses including Eccleshare Court Care Home and The Mayor of North Hykeham, Cllr Susannah Spencer supported the fundraising event.

The dementia golf project began in 2015 and has proved to be a lifeline for families living with the disease. “We are absolutely thrilled with the positive impact the golf sessions have had on people’s lives” says Anthony Blackburn, founder of Golf In Society, a Social Enterprise with a mission to improve the lives of our ageing population through golf.

Anthony added “The monies raised will allow us to make the golf days available to more families living with dementia in the Lincoln area. I cannot thank the local businesses and Mayor enough for their fantastic support”.

The unique sessions combine physical, mental and social stimulation and are delivered in beautiful natural surroundings.

As well as providing excellent dementia therapy, the sessions have offered a much-needed respite break for carers.

of residential and nursing care for people living with dementia we understand first-hand the benefits that can be gained from providing meaningful and stimulating activities. The Golf Days Out initiative is a fantastic way to exercise both mind and body and we wish them the very best of luck with their future fundraising” says Alykhan Kachra, Managing Director, Country Court Care.

The dementia golf days take place every Thursday at Lincoln Golf Centre, Thorpe-on-the-Hill from 10am -1pm.

For more information please contact Anthony Blackburn on tel: 07491 694938 or email: golfinsociety@gmail.com

“The best way of describing it is that it makes my husband buoyant. He lights up when he comes here. It brings him alive again” says wife and carer Annie Houghton, pictured bottom right with her husband, Norman.

“It allows me to be at work – I am not worried about my husband being here. I’m very reluctant to let him go to a lot of places, but I am confident when he is here – I don’t worry” says another wife and carer Fiona King, pictured bottom top with her husband, Alan.

“The support from local businesses has been excellent as many of them realise that the families of their workforce have been, or will be, touched by dementia” says Mayor Cllr Susannah Spencer who is also Home Manager at Eccleshare Court Care Home.

Susannah has specialised in studying dementia care development, and has previously worked with the renowned Bradford Dementia Group, based at Bradford University.

“Country Court Care was delighted to support the dementia golf fundraising day at Thorpe-on-the-Hill Golf Club. As a provider

We predict a riot!

Kaiser Chiefs set to rock Market Rasen Racecourse

Competition

The Jockey Club are excited to announce that Brit Awardwinning, multimillion selling band Kaiser Chiefs will be performing at Market Rasen Racecourse this summer. Featuring a full headline show, Kaiser Chiefs will be taking centre stage on Saturday 19th August 2017.

Kaiser Chiefs are undoubtedly one of the best live bands the UK has produced in the past decade. The band’s new album Stay Together marks their sixth top 10 album and they are about to take on a UK Arena Tour, as well as play major festivals across Europe and beyond.

The band first shot to recognition with their breakout hit I Predict A Riot, followed by smash hits such as Oh My God, Everyday I Love You Less and Less, Ruby, Coming Home and last year’s Hole In My Soul and Parachute. The band’s irrepressible frontman, Ricky Wilson, was the first coach on The Voice UK to mentor the winning acts two years in a row in 2015 and 2016. © Danny North

Alongside show-stopping headlining performances by some of the world’s biggest artists, the action kicks off earlier in the day with a six race card – giving fans the chance, to enjoy the thrilling drama and spectacle of jockeys racing for glory. Whether you fancy a flutter or a dance with friends and family the event is certain to be an odds on favourite for all, with tickets starting at only £30 for adults and £20 for children.

Win tickets to see

Nadia Powell, manager of Market Rasen Racecourse, said: “The Jockey Club Live nights are becoming an institution in Lincolnshire – with racing and music fans eagerly anticipating the announcement of our acts every year.

“Following in the footsteps of Tom Jones and Jess Glynne who attracted record crowds in the last two years, Kaiser Chiefs are a fantastic booking and we know that many thousands of their fans will be keen to snap up tickets for the big night.”

The racecourse boasts world-class customer facilities, featuring an array of award winning restaurants that cater for all tastes, be it fine dining through to delicious bistro food. The Jockey Club venues welcome over two million people a year for some of the UKs biggest racing events so you can be sure of the evening running as smooth as possible.

Picnic Jam Jar Cheesecakes

Recipe

With a couple of long weekends to look forward to and the hope of some warmer days, a picnic may be a welcome excursion. My recipe for you in this latest edition of Wolds Scene is for Picnic Jam Jar Cheesecakes.

This is a great portable dessert, outdoor friendly and a scrumptious addition to your alfresco repertoire. It is really easy to make and doesn’t need baking. This recipe can be adapted to make the most of whatever fruit is in season or to your own personal taste. You will need eight short and wide jam jars and lids or small Kilner Jars (washed and dried).

Ingredients 270g McVities Digestive biscuits 100g Unsalted butter

Whisk all together, then add double cream and two tablespoons of lemon curd. Whisk again until it all starts to thicken up well, keep a close eye on it as you don’t want to over whip it. Get jars out of the fridge and spoon in the cheesecake mixture. Fill to about 4 cm from the top of the jar, as you need to leave a gap for the topping later.

Smooth the tops as best you can and return back to the fridge for at least a couple of hours. You will probably have some cheesecake mixture left, this makes a great icing for lemon fairy cakes or filling for a big cake. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Drain mandarin segments really well. Take jars out of fridge, put a good heaped teaspoon of lemon curd on top of the mixture in each jar and smooth to cover then arrange mandarins on top in a nice pattern. Pop the lids on and return to the fridge to set over night.

Your Jam Jar Picnic Cheesecakes are now ready to go on an adventure. Obviously, you need to be keeping them upright in your picnic basket. Other than that, don’t forget the spoons and enjoy.

1 tsp Vanilla bean paste 600g Soft cheese (at room temperature) 250g Icing sugar, sieved 600ml Pot double cream 312g Tin mandarin orange segments 1 Jar of homemade or good quality lemon curd Method Have jars ready to fill. Weigh butter into medium sized pan and melt gently. Then weigh and crush digestives, tip them in pan of melted butter, stir to coat all the crumbs.

Divide crumb mixture between jam jars, aim for nearly 2 cm depth. Push mixture down so you have a nice even layer. I used the end of my rolling pin. Put them in the fridge to chill.

Drain the liquid off soft cheese, weigh it into mixer bowl, with sieved icing sugar and vanilla.

Billy Ocean set to perform at Lincoln Castle

Competition Billy has achieved extraordinary success as both an artist and a songwriter. He has continued to tour the world visiting Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Dubai, Nigeria, as well as playing the UK , USA and Europe every year.

Live Promotions Concerts looks forward to a fantastic evening with Billy Ocean in 2017, appearing with Heather Small – The voice of M People at Lincoln Castle.

In 2015 he celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Release of the Suddenly Album which included the No 1 Hits in the US “Caribbean Queen “ and title track Suddenly with live dates across the globe.

Billy will be supported by Heather Small. As Part of M People, Heather’s hits include ‘Moving On Up’, ‘One Night In Heaven’ and ‘Search For The Hero’. She became one of the seminal British voices of the 1990s, with the band winning the Best British Dance Act Award at the Brits in 1994 and 1995.

Heather has since had great successes with two solo albums – the title track of her ‘Proud’ album has gone on to become the soundtrack to a whole host of very special events including London’s successful 2012 Olympic bid.

Billy Ocean is the biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced, one who has sold over 30 million records in his lifetime. He has collected a pile of Gold and Platinum records across the world and hit the number one spot worldwide on pop charts including the USA, Australia, Germany and the UK.

Domesday is coming to Lincoln Explore the conflict for the crown from the Domesday Book to present day through fascinating documents, paintings and artefacts in Battles and Dynasties. The major exhibition will be held at The Collection, with the Domesday Book at Lincoln Castle, from 27 May to 3 September.

It’s an unmissable opportunity to see significant pieces on our doorstep here in Lincolnshire, including major objects and paintings that are rarely shown outside of London and some things from private collections that are never on display.

As part of the Battles and Dynasties exhibition the one of the most significant documents in history, Domesday Book, will be on show at Lincoln Castle this summer. This is the first time that it has been on display outside of London in living memory. This is a rare opportunity to see Domesday in a castle built by the same king that ordered the document. The iconic document will be in the David P J Ross Magna Carta Vault, alongside Magna Carta and Charter of the Forest.

Castle News In the 800th anniversary year of the Battle of Lincoln, visitors to The Collection will be able to 12th and 13th century documents about the battle. The sole surviving manuscript recording the life of the great William Marshal, the hero of the Battle of Lincoln, will journey across the Atlantic from the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, to be part of the exhibition. The pages on display will include parts of William’s rousing speech to his troops before the fight.

Amongst the treasures will be the great illuminated bible of Henry IV, Henry Bolingbroke, the only Lincolnshire born king, and Mary Tudor’s book of devotions. On a more sombre note, visitors will be able to see the act of attainder which led to the execution of Katherine Howard, and the death warrant of Mary Queen of Scots.

Domesday Book at Lincoln Castle sets the tone for the splendour of the other exhibits on display at The Collection, which range from the prayer book that Richard III took to Bosworth Field to the letter of abdication of Edward VIII.

Receive a 10% online discount by purchasing a Lincoln Castle All Inclusive Domesday tickets and Battles and Dynasties tickets from either www.lincolncastle.com or www.thecollectionmuseum. com.

Battles and Dynasties has been brought together by Lincolnshire County Council and Lord Cormack in partnership with the Historic Lincoln Trust, The National Archives and the British Library.

other songs the reaction is still amazing, do you know what I mean? We love that reaction, so why would we not play them?

It was surprisingly good. So when we first got an offer to play in York at the races we thought, okay, it might be fine, we’ll see how it is. Y’know what I mean? And then we turned up and I think there was like 27,000 people there or something crazy, it was like a festival but only we were playing, so we loved it. So we did some more the year after and we’ll do a couple more this year. I think everyone has a good day out and it’s just a different thing. Our fan base is kind of diverse enough so we can play Glastonbury and we can play a traditional rock festival or whatever that is. And then we can also play at a racecourse to loads of people.

I think there’s a few obvious ones really. I think different places, different things. So when we go into Europe, ‘Ruby’ was a much bigger song than anything else really in Germany and places like that. That’s our number one biggest hit. I think in the UK ‘I Predict A Riot’ is our trademark and then also ‘Oh My God’ ‘cause we finish with that so that’s one with a great reaction. I think in the UK, the song we play and we absolutely know that it’s gonna be fine is ‘I Predict A Riot’.

Finally, we’re all looking forward to welcoming the band to Market Rasen and with tickets like gold dust, any chance of a couple of complementaries for your biggest fans?

Join the queue mate!

Do you approach the racecourse shows any differently to your normal kind of tours?

It’s more like a tour than it is a festival I think because obviously when you play at a festival there’s loads of bands and loads of things going on and this is only us basically, supported by some horse racing. So we just sort of try and put on a good show for everybody really. At the end of the day everyone’s had a good time, hopefully they’ve won some money and they’ve got drunk so then we just try and put on a good show, play some hits, get everyone there bouncing and loosening their ties and kicking off their high heels.

With so many huge songs to choose from and obviously your new material from the new album. How do you go about choosing your set list?

I don’t know really, it’s got a little bit harder. I sort of, generally write the set list and I think it sort of writes itself, really. There’s songs that everybody wants to hear and then we’ll play some new songs from the new record and then we’ll try and dig out a couple of things that maybe are a bit unusual which I think keeps us interested. We’ve got quite a lot of songs that everyone knows so it makes it quite easy.

Are there any songs that you just dare not leave out of the set?

‘Dare not’ is an interesting question really. One of the things about our band and I think it’s kind of unique in a way is that we are a band really where we like to play a gig and we want everyone to have a good time. I think y’know, not playing big songs is sort of a bit selfish really for the people who have got tickets to come see us. So I don’t think we’d ever do it. I think we feel like we’ve written some songs, some great songs that everyone likes and when we play ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Ruby’ and

Healthy minds at The Well Centre The Well Centre, opened in September 2016, is the first practice offering holistic and mental health services to private patients in Lincolnshire.

In this short period of time, the Centre has collaborated with many academic and mental health institutes in Lincoln. Local GPs have started to refer patients and many private patients in need of mental health support are now being helped by a team of specialists headed by Dr Tarik Al-Kubaisy.

The Centre provides a full range of assessments and treatments for psychiatric, psychological, social and alternative interventions. Common problems treated include fears and phobias, eating disorders, addictions, depression, OCD symptoms, personality disorders, psychological problems due to organic causes such as dementia and many more.

Dr Al-Kubaisy said: “The Well Centre has been very well received by medical professionals, psychotherapists, counsellors and direct referral patients and although we are a private practice, we are happy to work with (and appreciate) the charitable organisations, GPs, NHS and others who help us deliver our services to vulnerable people locally and those where financial assistance may be required and supported by charities.

“We are very grateful to our caring team, who pride themselves on their professionalism and dedication. The feedback we receive from patients and visitors alike is always excellent.”

If you are keen to advise a struggling person, with an emotional or mental health problem, encourage them to take the first step in getting the support and treatment they need. Whether you are referring yourself, have a GP referral or by any other means, please contact The Well Centre where you will be directed to an appropriate professional for a private and confidential discussion and your needs assessed.

News In Brief Global award for local business LATA presents Legally Blonde A global award for bookkeeping has been awarded to Terry Ramm, owner of TLR Bookkeeping and Taxation. The LUCA awards, which are described as the “Oscars of the bookkeeping world”, recognise outstanding achievement in the profession.

The LUCA awards hosted their seventh annual event, where Terry was awarded Student of the Year.

From the company that brought last year’s sell-out production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Phantom of the Opera’, this July Lincoln Academy of Theatre Arts is delighted to bring the smash hit West End musical ‘Legally Blonde’ to Lincoln Drill Hall.

The awards, which are named after Luca Paciolo, the Cisterian monk who invented the process of double entry bookkeeping, were held at Mansion House in London and presented by ICB Global’s Royal Patron, Prince Michael of Kent.

Based on the novel and the hit-movie of the same name, Legally Blonde is an all singing, all dancing romantic comedy, a funfilled, feel-good musical.

Terry Ramm, 64, who returned to Lincoln following a 17 year career in management in Canada, now runs his own practice and focuses on small businesses in the Lincoln area.

Mr Ramm said: “This award is the cherry on top of a great year for me; with the Student of the Year award from the college last month and the business going from strength to strength.”

College sweetheart and homecoming queen Elle Woods, doesn’t take no for an answer. When her boyfriend Warner dumps her for someone more “serious”, Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books and heads for Harvard Law School. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style and ultimately, she defies expectations and manages to keep her delightfully pink personality.
