I am a member of Marton Primary School PTFA near Gainsborough. On

30th May Lincs FM's Sally Elkington will launch our charity cook book at 12:30pm. A Garden Fayre and picnic will follow the launch. If you could cover our event that would be wonderful. Th e cook book and fayre is to raise money for an outside classroom and play equipment. Here is some background to the event. Although the school is fairly small, approximately 80 pupils, it already has an enriched relationship with food. Th ey grow vegetables and they are taught the importance of where diff erent foods come from as well as healthy eating. Th e school provides cookery classes and 'Super Foods' aft er school club to show that cooking can be fun but at the same time healthy and nutritious. Th ey are going for 'Food for Life' and their school meals promote British food and are sourced locally wherever

possible. Th e Governors, staff and students are committed to developing their relationship with healthy food and promoting the best of British food where possible. To ensure that the children have the very best we can provide, we are constantly trying to raise money for the school. Th e cook book is our latest fundraising venture, it is a new avenue for us and it reinforces our commitment that cooking is fun and that children can start their love of cooking at an early age. We have produced our own Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Cook Book with the favourite recipes from the children, parents, staff , Buckingham Palace, David Cameron and many household names and celebrities. Some of the celebrities in the book include: Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Fry,Brian Cox and family, Michel Roux, Ainsley Harriott, Phil Vickery, Gary Rhodes, Mary Berry, Jane Asher, Nick Day, Mr Huda, Rachel Green, Antony Worrell Th ompson, Nick Nairns, Antonio Carluccio, Delia Smith, Paul RankinRussell Grant, Rosemary ConleyRosemary Shrager, Lesley Garrett, Bishop of Lincoln, Mayor of Lincoln and more We do realise that our cook book is not a big event but the school and children are very special, and we feel so passionate about the school and its children and just want to help them in any way we can. Th e Diamond Jubilee Fayre (free admission and all are welcome) will include: BBQ, Strawberries and cream, Cream Teas, Refreshments, Ice cream and lolliesRefreshments, Cake stall, Plant stall, Good quality second-hand toy stall, Bouncy castle, Games, Tombola, Raffl e and more We are a registered charity and I would be happy to send details if they are required. Th e cook book is the result of a great deal of very hard work and long hours by the PTFA and we would be

most grateful for all the help we can get in making the cook book a great success and getting more money for the school.

A WALKON THE WILD SIDE

On Th ursday 15th March 2012, all the staff and pupils of Newton

on Trent Church of England Primary School went on a whole school day trip to the Woodside Wildlife and Falconry Park in Newball, near Langworth in Lincolnshire. Th e trip was linked to the whole school topic on Madagascar, which the children are currently studying. Th ey were especially excited about seeing the lemurs, which are native to the island of Madagascar.

When the children returned from the trip, they worked on a piece of writing

about their experience. So we would like to tell you about the visit through the words of one of our Year 2 pupils, Skye:

“Yesterday we went to Woodside. We had a Ranger called Tony. He showed us lots of animals. I am going to tell you about all of the animals I met. First we saw Poppy the Parrot. You had to bob up and down to make her dance. Next we saw the meerkats and they jumped onto the glass to try and see us. Next we saw the birds of prey. My favourite was the snowy owl. Next we saw the ferret – it let off a stink! Next we saw the lemurs, there were lots of types – the red ruff ed lemur, the black and white ruff ed lemur and the ring-tailed lemur. We had lunch. We did some reptile handling.”

Everyone had the most wonderful day and came back with tales to tell and experiences to share.

Th e children were a credit to the school, with excellent behaviour, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes.

Th ank you to you all.

On their visit the children got chance to meet all sorts of creatures!

New Information Hub in TorkseyPhone box is now an information TARDIS

An iconic red telephone box has been transformed into a TARDIS of

information.

Volunteers from Torksey Action Group have renovated the inside of a village phone box to use as an information centre and communication point.

Cllr Stuart Kinch, a ward member for Torksey, chose to support the project using £225 of his allowance from the Councillor Initiative Fund.

West Lindsey District Council provides the funding to allow all 37 district councillors an allocation of £4,000 to spend over two years on projects in their ward. This can be divided up between several good causes.

Ann Close, from Torksey Action Group said: “We are thrilled to have received this funding from Cllr Kinch, it has really given us the chance to get our idea up and running.

"The phone box has been put to good use, and will be the information hub of the village."

“When we mentioned to Torksey Parish Council what we were intending to do, they kindly offered to pay for the outside to be painted. A contribution was also made by a local business.”

Cllr Kinch has also helped the Torksey croquet club. A grant of £300 was allocated to assist them to buy a portable shelter for spectators and players.

The club which started last summer,

already has 15 members and they play on the village green, which has no shelter.

Kevin Connelly from Acacia Avenue, Torksey, said: “We are highly delighted to have received this money. It means

that we have been able to buy a very sturdy cover, and we can lift the sides on a sunny day."

“Hopefully having this shelter will mean that we can encourage more players and spectators to come to the club.”

Cllr Kinch was delighted the Councillor Initiative Fund is being put to good use.

He said: "Allocating funds through councillors is the most cost-efficient way to the tax payer to distribute funds to local causes. With this system we are

not bogged down with bureaucracy and unnecessary wages which dilutes the moneys received to those good causes."

"These are two great examples and it has renovated the old phone booth in Torksey to an information centre and the helped the Torksey croquet club."

The croquet club is one of eight social groups that has been set up in Torksey, since the parish plan was produced 18 months ago.

For more information on about the croquet club, please contact Joe Laurenson on 01427 717846.

To have your news and information put up in the telephone box, please speak to Ann Close on 01427 718517.

Local Events Company WinsNational Sports Award

Lincolnshire sporting events company One Step Beyond scooped the 220

Triathlon Magazine ‘Best Event’ Award at the Triathlon Show.

The award for the company’s Outlaw Triathlon is their third 220 award; they won Best Event in February 2011 and the British Triathlon Event of the Year Award in November 2011.

Event organiser Iain Hamilton said: “We really didn’t expect this. Having won last year, and having won the BTF Award, we didn’t think it would be our turn again.” “We believe the Outlaw has been successful because of its competitors; they are so supportive of the event, but also because of our volunteers who make this event so special for everyone who takes part in it.”

The Outlaw Triathlon long-distance event, which is oversubscribed for this year’s event in July, was first established in 2010. One thousand athletes take on

the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run around Nottingham and Lincolnshire on 1st July 2012. One Step Beyond, set up in 1991 by

ex-professional triathlete Iain Hamilton, is based in Fenton near Lincoln, and is currently organising a number of local triathlon events for novice competitors.

The first event is the David Lloyd Lincoln Sprint Triathlon on Sunday 21st April. Competitors will swim 400m in the David Lloyd Health Club swimming pool, cycle 14 miles using the surrounding rural countryside roads and then finish with a 3 mile scenic run along

the newly constructed Fosse Dyke Canal tow path.

Lynsey Norris, Sports Manager at Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, said: “It’s great to see sport being promoted so successfully in Lincolnshire, and a huge achievement for One Step Beyond to have been recognised nationally for their support to Triathlon. I hope the events will encourage people to try something new and keep active.”

For further information on any of the triathlon events go towww.onestepbeyond.org.uk or telephone One Step Beyond on 01427 718 888.

One Step Beyond was established in 1991 as part of a college project by Iain Hamilton. Iain Hamilton represented Great Britain at numerous World & European Triathlon Championships until his retirement in 1994, winning a team bronze in the World Championships in 1992. One Step Beyond organise events for able & non-able-bodied athletes, both child & adult. One Step Beyond is a partner of the British Triathlon Federation & is the sole delivery agent of the Kids of Steel Series, an initiative set up to enable 50000 school children to take part in a triathlon before the 2012 London Olympics.

Trentside Links - Annual ReportAnother year of success for our Community Organisation

Chairman’s report

In 2011 Trentside Links has gone from strength to strength. Th e

magazine continues to be well received by villagers and we continue to receive a number of contributions each month which has kept the articles interesting and appealing to a broad spectrum of readers.

We continue to design the magazine ourselves which has helped out tremendously with fi tting in as much content as possible and has also ensured the magazine goes out on time and in some cases a few days early!

Th e community website (www.trentsidelinks.org) was also re-launched in 2011 on the Wordpress platform. We decided to take this step due to the amount of material that was becoming

available and the “Content Management System” facility of Wordpress has made it easier to manage & update the

website. Th e website has also become more visible worldwide attracting previous residents and people researching some of the events and people from the region including Canada, Crete, Nigeria, Australia and the Scottish Islands.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee members

& distributors for their continued hard work in 2011, without their support it would not be possible to produce such a fantastic result.

Rosamund Addison’s Scrapbook History of

village Life

It has been our good fortune to come across a book of newspaper cuttings

compiled by Rosamund Addison of Fenton village, covering everyday items such as weddings, fêtes, local food, WI, public meetings and other social events.

Rosamund was daughter of Len Addison, Fenton’s butcher. Th e scrapbook is a ‘cashbook’ with pasted-in cuttings from the period 1934-8.

THE WHALE THAT CAME UP THE TRENT

Sunday September 18th 1938

Several thousand people yesterday paid admission to see a two ton, 20ft long whale which had been rammed by a petrol barge and caught in the River Trent near Gainsborough.

It is thought to be the mate of the whale which was caught at Keadby three weeks ago and which is now in the National History Museum in London. Th e second whale is believed to be a female, while that caught at Kealby was a male.

Th e whale caught at Gainsborough had been in the River Trent for three days. It remained in the neighbourhood of Kealby for two days but swam during the Friday night but at low tide. It was seen stranded on a sandbank at Marton fi ve miles from Gainsborough and 70 miles from the sea - the farthest inland point at which a whale has been seen within living memory.

TERRIFIC STRUGGLE

On Saturday aft ernoon boatmen on a string of barges towed by the Tyne motor vessel, of Hull, took two shots at the whale, but the shots ricocheted off its back into the water.

No eff orts were made to catch it at Marton, but arrangements were being made by Superintendent I. Booth, of Gainsborough, to have it destroyed by humane methods when a report was received that it had been refl oated by the tide.

Th e whale swam back to Gainsborough and was near the town when it was overtaken by the petrol barge Kestrel, with 90 tons of sand and gravel aboard, from Carlton, bound for Brigg, via the Ancholme.

Th e captain of the Kestrel Mr J Chapman of 18 Gordons Row, Newark, stated aft erwards that he and his mate Mr Stanley Oglesby, of 10 Dewbury Terrace, Swann street, Hull had a terrifi c struggle with the whale for over an hour.

FOUGHT LIKE A TIGER

“It was 50 yards ahead” said Mr Chapman “and I ran my vessel at it, I was successful in hitting it, and turning round saw it fi ghting furiously in the water.”

“I turned the vessel round and ran alongside and my mate, Oglesby, tried to get it with a boat hook. He was successful and we fastened it to the boat and brought it to Gainsborough.”

Oglesby said that aft er the boat had been turned round he stuck a boat hook into the whale and it “fought like a tiger”.

“It threw water right over the boat and nearly drowned me,” he said. “Chapman came to my aid and I lassoed its tail with a rope and pulled it tight, eventually getting it fast to the side, but it continued to

fi ght vigorously, it was so strong that it prevented the boat being turned round again despite the fact that it was against the ebb and though our boat had a cargo of 90 tons of gravel.”

“Eventually we got the boat round, the whale fought hard for some time but fi nally it drowned as we were towing it with its tail.”

Th e whale was on view on behalf of the John Coupland Hospital, Gainsborough yesterday. It was taken from the river by a crane.

Th e total amount collected in admission fees yesterday in aid of the John Coupland hospital was over £100, so that the whale was seen by about 12,000 people. It is expected that it will be on view again tonight in aid of the nursing association. No decision has been reached as to the future of the whale’s carcass. Th e police are awaiting a decision by the Custom’s Offi ce, who have been in consultation with the Receiver of Wrecks.”

Ferries & BridgesAn article on the events that lead to the birth of Dunham Bridge

At the time the magazine was being put together we had just had the

hosepipe ban followed by a few weeks of heavy rain (there has got to be some irony there) and it got us thinking about our rivers. Rodger Brownlow kindly lent us a book on Dunham Bridge and so it is with this trusty tool that we aim to impart a little information about the history of our bridges and ferries in the Trentside area.

Lincolnshire is in effect a peninsula, attached to the mainland on the south but sundered from it on the west by the Trent. Every journey, therefore, between the county and Nottingham or anywhere northward involves a major river crossing. A Roman bridge had existed over the Trent between Cromwell and south Collingham, and about 1145 there had been a short-lived bridge near Gainsborough, probably at Knaith. But, for six and a half centuries thereafter, the lowest bridges were at Newark, which carried not only the east-west traffic into southern Lincolnshire but also the north-south commerce of the Great North Road. There are three bridges here: Newark or Trent Bridge itself, over the eastern branch of the river, and Kelham and Muskham Bridges over the western branch. All were of early medieval origin, and Newark Bridge, the property of the

Dukes of Newcastle, was a toll bridge until the 1830s.

The fifty-eight miles of bridgeless Trent below Newark did not, however, form an impassable barrier. Almost every riverside village had its ferry - there were at least eighteen of them - which in most cases dated back to the Middle Ages and survived precariously into the twentieth century, although all are now defunct. Few carried much long-distance traffic or were of more than local importance,

since the marshes west of the lower Trent prevented easy access to the ferries there, the most heavily used crossings were higher up: Walkerith, Gainsborough (the only ferry attached to a town of significance), Littleborough (the site of a ford on the Roman road from Lincoln to Doncaster) and Dunham.

Dunham lies on the floodplain of the Trent on the Nottinghamshire side, equidistant at 11 miles from Lincoln and Retford

The ferry crossed the Trent directly between Dunham and Newton on the Lincolnshire side.The Trent is tidal at this point (if only just), but the tides, as such, are no problem. The major menace to Trentside villages has always been freshwater floods. At Dunham Ferry in 1829 the river was normally about 6ft deep and 400ft wide, contained within artificial flood banks roughly 790ft apart at their crests and standing some ten feet above the ordinary water surface. But floods frequently overtopped these banks. Really bad ones like those of 1792 and 1828 rose a good three feet above them and spread far and wide over the surrounding land. The 1828 floods extended 1200 yards west of the bank, drowning most of Dunham, and on the east, though Newton itself is above the flood plain, they stretched 9ft deep for 275 yards from the river. It was said that in 1830 "There have been thirteen floods in one year at Dunham when the use of boats was necessary" (I imagine that was an understatement!).

The villagers accepted these invasions as a natural hazard of existence.

The ferry was the property of the lord of the manor of Dunham. The earliest notice of it is in 1296,when it belonged to William de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, and was worth £6 13s 4d a year.

Thereafter we have only sporadic references until finally, in 1824, the manor, ferry, ferry house, boats and staith were bought by John Angerstein

with part of the fortune inherited from his father, John Julius Angerstein, the renowned businessman and art collector. The tolls, which then yielded £60 a year, were: persons, 1d; horses or beasts, 1d; sheep, 6d per score; carts, 6d; wagons, 1/-.

The eastern staith belonged to the lord of the manor of Newton, who in 1830 was Sir William Amcotts Ingleby. The ferry house stood south of the Dunham approach, the present cottage north of the bridge approach is of later date and on a different site, but the last ferryman, Thomas Bays, did not live there since he also kept what is now the Bridge Inn nearby. All ferries offered delays

and potential dangers to their users - Gainsborough ferry boat overturned in 1760 with the loss of six lives. When moves were afoot for a bridge, Dunham Ferry was described as an interruption and a hazard which the bridge would remove. This was a fairly standard phrase, and whether Dunham was in fact any better or worse than other ferries, we cannot say; but it certainly died unwept.

Dunham was one of the four principal Trent ferries below Newark, on a major route into Lincolnshire. The financial value of Dunham Ferry was rated higher than that of Gainsborough, and presumably it therefore carried more traffic. Littleborough was probably always the least of the four, at any rate after early middle ages times. In later days, however, Gainsborough and Walkerith undoubtedly became the dominant crossings. Not only did the former serve the largest riverside population, but the latter was on a more direct line for the major trade routes.

Apart from the access to local markets which all the ferries provided to a greater or lesser extent, there were two longer distance trades, both of which grew vastly as the industrial revolution developed. First, there was cattle droving from Scotland. When Gainsborough Bridge was first proposed, it was claimed that "The numerous droves of beasts from different parts of Scotland, which pass at Walkerith or, in time of floods, go round by Newark on their way to Norfolk and Suffolk, where they are fatted for the London market, would all come to this

Flooding could be a major problem in the Trentside region. In 1932 these cattle were attempting to cross a flooded field.

bridge". Many such cattle and sheep also used Gainsborough Ferry. Secondly, there was a yet heavier movement in the opposite direction, as Lincolnshire became the granary and the stockyard of the rising industrial areas of the West Riding, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and even to some extent of Lancashire. The Gainsborough Bridge Bill of 1786 emphasised this, pointing out that the smooth flow of wool, corn and cattle to the West Riding would be much facilitated by a bridge; it was claimed in committee that in the hard winter of 1785-6 the uncertainties and dangers inherent in Gainsborough Ferry had caused the price of provisions in Leeds to rise by 15 to 20%. The Bridge Bill of 1787 was indeed supported by petitions from Leeds, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Rotherham, Rochdale and Manchester.

Which crossing was most suitable depended, of course, on the origin and destination of the produce.

The West Riding was best served by Gainsborough or Walkerith, much of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire by Littleborough or Dunham. On the other side, the Wolds and north Lincolnshire

looked naturally to Walkerith and Gainsborough; the great cattle market of Wragby looked, via the drove road of Till Bridge Lane, to Littleborough; and the newly-reclaimed East and West Fens, plus the markets of Boston and Lincoln, looked to Dunham. When Gainsborough Bridge was opened in 1790 it automatically lured much trade away from the other ferries, and for a time Lincoln felt the draught since produce from the fens now tended to bypass the city to the north, and one of Lincoln's main objects in promoting Dunham Bridge was to draw this trade back within its own orbit.

With the Gainsborough bridge open, the demand for a bridge elsewhere on the Trent declined, but the Dunham Bridge was not quite dead. On 24th August 1792 notice was published of an intended application to parliament for a bill to build a toll bridge at Dunham. The notice was signed by a William Calvert (1754-1837), a Dalton solicitor and land agent, who was keen to develop the Nottinghamshire side of the Trent and who was to play a part in the final creation of the bridge forty years later.

A True Gentleman

The village of Torksey lost a true gentleman and friend to many on the 16th February. Charles Graham Walshaw (Graham) passed away aged 83 years.

Graham fell in love with Torksey in the early sixties when he, his wife Barbara and young family would visit most weekends to stay in their caravan at the Hume Arms caravan site.

In 1965 he and his family moved from Sheffield to their new home in Sand Lane.

He soon became involved in many village activities and commitments including becoming a school governor at Torksey School, a member of the parish council and joining Lincoln Golf Club.

Graham loved his bungalow, especially his garden, which was always a joy to see in the summer months to many passers-by.

He was highly respected member of the community and he was the main campaigner for the removal of the roundabouts several years ago.

Graham lost his wife Barbara in 1987. He became more involved in the daily lives of his daughter Debi and family, enjoying many holidays to his much-loved Devon.

Tho' a Yorkshireman (he never forgot the lingo) he felt his roots were firmly planted in Torksey. He thoroughly enjoyed his daily walks around the village and his jaunts in his car.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you who

Obituaries

William Eatch passed away very peacefully on March 5th 2012. Most people will know Bill as the man with a good shock of white, sorry, fair hair walking a little Jack Russell, Daisy, round Torksey. After having been awarded Sea Cadet of the Year Bill joined the Navy and trained as an electrical engineer. During this time he married Ursula and so began a life of travel. As well as long sea cruises Bill and Ursula plus their daughter Dorcas, travelled extensively to Aden, Jamaica, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, South Humberside Airport and in their retirement, Scotland, the Hebrides, Orkney. It was while he was in Saudi Arabia that he received a letter of thanks from the White House for showing top bods around the airport. Bill was a creative man, well-able to turn an idea into a practical working piece of machinery, or a pattern into a rag rug, or

a piece of cloth into a pair of dungarees for a 2-year-old, me. He was also musical, mainly playing the bass drum in the Navy band though he also learned the cornet. ln Kenya, we all developed a love of wildlife and the environment and this was brought back to Torksey and his interest in the village and the surrounding countryside, standing as a Parish Councillor for many years.

Bill was a generous man with his time, he would help anyone, anywhere and with anything, he liked to get involved. And he was very encouraging and got me through a lot of music exams even though every time I took one I wailed I'd failed - I hadn't of course but he was very patient. Unfortunately, he developed the family disease, Alzheimer’s

about 3-4 years ago. With Alzheimer’s there is often a trend to either go down the depressed route or not. Bill was one of the lucky ones in that respect in that his sense of humour became heightened, extremely witty with a great sense of fun. He was courteous and very much the gentleman lightening everyone’s day when he was at the nursing home. He will always be a happy smile in our memories. Dorcas

watched out for my lovely dad, especially in the last year and in particular, thanks to Gordon & Carol Yardley.

Solar Pv – Still worth it?

It takes only a fraction of the sun’s power to cover the entire energy needs

for the earth every year; sunshine is not taxed and the sun does not send us a bill – so far. Th erefore the installation of solar PV and solar thermal is easily justifi ed from an environmental perspective.

Yet recent debate and events surrounding the Government’s subsidy of solar PV – the so-called Feed in Tariff (FiT) - has raised, in some people’s minds, questions about its fi nancial justifi cation.

It is true that the Government has decided to reduce the FiT from 43.3p to 21p, yet the outlook is nowhere near as drastic as it appears.

Last year in the UK alone over 200,000 homes had solar panels fi tted. As the drive to provide clean energy grows

worldwide the increase in production of solar components has driven down prices. In 2010 a typical 4KWp domestic system would have cost around £18,000 and taken four days to install. Now householders can get a system with the same energy output for £9,300 (subject to survey) – a 50% reduction in cost – and have it installed in half the time.

Homeowners will continue to benefi t further as energy prices rise; through both the savings in household bills and the amount they will be paid from feeding power back into the grid.

Even under the new legislation the income generated from a 4kWp PV system through the Feed-in Tariff , export payments and lower energy bills could reach around £1,000 per annum. Th at means a homeowner will have paid back their original investment within eight to nine years – but will continue to benefi t from the FiT payments, energy savings and export income for a further 16 to 17 years.

Whatever changes are implemented by Government solar PV systems continue to make sense fi nancially, environmentally and aesthetically.

"Last year in the UK alone over 200,000 homes

had solarpanels fi tted."

KENDALL CARPETSNew carpet and flooring company aims to put service first

391/392 High Street,Lincoln LN5 7SS.tel 01522 244 595mob 07742 [email protected]

Starting a new business in the current economic climate may be considered risky by some people, but not if you have

the trade pedigree of the Kendall family. Ron Kendall, his son Graham, daughter Lesley and business partner Greg Stott have teamed up to start Kendall Carpets in a refurbished showroom in High Street, Lincoln, which opened in February this year.

Ron, who started working life at Arthur Lee in Grimsby followed by some years in a London store, Eastern Carpets in Lincoln and finally Allied Carpets, has over 50 years of experience in the trade. He says,“The name Kendall, locally, is synonymous with carpets, it’s in our DNA”. The Kendall family have lived in Saxilby for a number of years and have a good understanding of the local Lincolnshire community.

Ron’s son Graham started at Allied as a carpet fitter on leaving school. Having worked his way up through the ranks, became

Divisional Controller for the company working the length and breadth of the country. Lesley worked as Sales Director for several new homes companies. Lesley commented,“I knowGraham always wanted his own carpet showroom and when this opportunity came up it made sense for all of us to join forces to create the new business”. Greg Stott who worked in sales in the motor trade makes up the fourth member of the team and brings a strong customer service ethic to the company.

Collectively the team have 125 years of sales and customer service, 80 of those directly in floorings.

So, how can Kendall Carpets compete with the multinationals? Graham says, “Firstly, all of us are experienced in giving excellent customer service - it’s what we do. Secondly, many people think it’s cheaper to buy from the large companies.This is simply not true”. By keeping relative overheads low, Kendall Carpets can match and usually beat any of the larger stores on price but most certainly on service. The company has a very swift response time and have a team of trusted expert fitters. Graham says,“Over the years we have come to know which

fitters to trust and they too have to follow the Kendall ethos of service.They will remove old carpets and move furniture when necessary”.

As well as carpets Kendalls supplies and fits vinyls, woods and laminate flooring.“We test with a hygrometer and moisturemeter before laying a wooden floor as it is imperative that the sub floor is at the correct level.This is all part of the service”.

Kendall Carpets carries brands such as, Georgian, Hugh Mackay,Avalin flooring, Quick-Step, Mohawk in fact all the brands you would expect from a quality flooring store. Prices range from £4.99 to £70 per square metre.With over 1000 samples to choose from, the ranges include famous types such as Axminster and Wilton.

The company also offers a shop at home service where samples are taken to your home. This is particularly useful if you are not certain which shade or colour will suit your home. Because of the way light works, a colour seen in the shop may look entirely different in your home. Having produced umpteen show homes over the years, Lesley is excellent with colour and design and is always on hand to advise on colours and interiors.

Kendall Carpets has an excellent range of striped carpets and stair rods, very much in vogue for staircases.They also offer colour coordinated carpet bindings for staircase runners or, as a finish where carpets end away from the skirting. Kendalls carry stock in their warehouse enabling them to work with both lettings and estate agencies to provide carpets ideal for a speedy turnaround between occupants both in residential and commercial properties.

With the experience of the partners in Kendall Carpets and their service ethos the company is certain to be a successful Lincoln business, just what the city needs.

The new showroom holds a huge variety of carpets and other flooring.

Lincoln SoundsOne Day Workshop

Lincoln Sounds Ladies' Barbershop Chorus is holding a one-day taster

workshop in June. The event aims to encourage ladies in Lincoln and the surrounding villages to join them in learning a new song from scratch to performance standard - with choreography included! The song will then be sung as part of an informal concert for family and friends.

Kara Moore, President of Lincoln Sounds said “We held a similar event last summer. It was a very enjoyable and happy day and resulted in six ladies deciding to join the Chorus. We expect this one to be every bit as enjoyable. No experience is needed, nor an ability to read music, just a love of singing.”

The workshop takes place on Saturday, 16 June at Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School. There is a registration fee, after which anyone signing up will receive a pack of pre-learning material including a CD.

Contact information for more details is available at www.lincolnsounds.org by choosing the ‘Home’ option, email Rebecca Lockley [email protected] or telephone Linda on 01522 869920.

What is First Contact?

First Contact is a service that allows people aged 60 and over to access a wide range of services and information to help them stay safe and well in their own home through one point of contact.

The checklist addresses issues such as fire and community safety, personal care, housing, heating, falls prevention, money and benefit entitlements, transport, social isolation, home care and caring.

First Contact checklists not only help customers access services they may otherwise have been unaware of but they also help our partner agencies to do their job effectively. Using the checklist can save partner agencies time as opposed to searching for the correct agencies to

signpost a customer to or spending long periods of time on the phone making referrals.

How does First Contact work?

Our customers can complete a simple checklist in one of our leaflets, with a trained member of staff, on the phone with the central coordinators or through our website. The answers customers provide to the checklist questions indicate which agencies they require information and advice from.

Completed checklists generate referrals to the required agency prompting them to contact the customer and deliver the information and advice required. Our partner agencies have 28 days to do this.

Central Co-ordinators

They are the main public contact point and can be contacted as follows:Tel: 01522 782172 Email: [email protected]

Field Co-ordinators

The scheme also has field co-ordinators

employed by Age UK. Their role is to publicise the scheme within local areas, deliver talks to community groups, provide training to partner organisations and deal with the day to day issues which crop up with partners as well as customers. Their contact details are as follows:

Sandra Simonson - Lincoln and West Lindsey area:[email protected] - 07415350324

Trentside Reports

THE ASSISTANTCURATE WRITES

May has always been a month of busy preparation. With Easter behind us

and Spring well-established many couples are anxiously ensuring that every tiny detail of their long-awaited wedding days are sorted out. For all these couples, their special day will be remembered for years to come; photos will be brought out and anecdotes told.

Nationally we will also be preparing for two special events. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee will be occupying minds all over the country as choirs practice, chairs and trestle tables are counted and women commit themselves to “sausage rolls, 1 doz.” or “Victoria sandwiches, 2”. In many communities any excuse for a street party is warmly welcomed. The additional excitement of such a royal occasion makes it extra special. The admiration and loyalty which our Sovereign enjoys is well-earned.

The Olympic Games being held in Great Britain is also, perhaps, a cause for celebration, although affecting mostly the London area. However, it will be interesting to see the torch carried

through our villages. Again, a great deal of preparation is happening.

The Church throughout the world has two major festivals in May, although most people will probably struggle to name them both. They are Ascension Day on 17th May and Pentecost on 27th May. The first has almost faded into insignificance as a celebration, but they literally changed the history of the world.

On Ascension Day Jesus, who had risen from the dead, went up into heaven to sit at his Father’s right hand. This means that the whole world belongs to him, although we do not yet see it all under his control.

Pentecost was the birth of the Church; it was the

day when a band of frightened men and women received such spiritual power that they went out into the streets and started to tell everyone the good news about the risen Lord Jesus and his new Kingdom. The world as we know it today would not exist if it were not for that small band of spirit-driven disciples.

Whether we remember to celebrate these two days doesn’t, in one sense, matterzat all.

What does matter is that we, the Church, live with and in that truth - that Jesus rose from the dead and is still alive today, to forgive our sins and to give us his fullness of life, which the Bible calls eternal life. This good news of the Kingdom of Heaven is just as relevant and important to the world today as it was 2,000 years ago. I wish you all a blessed and happy Ascension Day and Pentecost!

Reports from the Kettlethorpe & District Women's Institute

March 2012

It sometimes takes a little persuasion to get members of voluntary and social clubs to attend the AGM. Alright - so there's business to be discussed, finance to approve and committees to propose but whatever.....our AGM can be as much a pleasure as the other eleven meetings in the year. There were of course reports from the Treasurer, Secretary and President, and these served to present a picture of how we have financed and enjoyed ourselves with the President giving an overall picture of the year. So while I am at the beginning here is a list of the current new committee - which is the same as for last year with an additional two members. Rita Atkin, Sarah Clark, Vivienne Elliott, Jackie Gee, Sylvia Johnson, Gill Kyme, Ann Lister, Lynda Mullally, Toni Richardson and Janet Willcock. Barbara Gilbert remains President.

Every month a competition is arranged which tends to support our speaker for the evening, and the most consistent winner of these was Pat Green followed by Ann Close. Lynda Mullally and Dorothy Yardley were joint third. I have to say that we do have an excellent committee, who all take a very active part in keeping us together and cooking our annual dinners in October. After the business we indulged in some very tasty cakes and hot drinks while doing our best at a couple of quizzes. A new magazine has been produced for Lincolnshire North. It gives the prospective visits and shows for our geographical area. It's quite a surprise to see how many things are going on - all from one source, and will be much appreciated by members. Of course the Lincolnshire Show was discussed and it is hoped someone will produce an 'action' photograph good enough to adorn our Kettlethorpe entry.

Another golfing afternoon is being planned, probably for May at Laughterton. There will be teaching available plus a small competition.

Anyone wishing to attend a craft day should give their names via the Secretary; this may be held on April 28. Raffles were won by Kay Payne, Sarah Clarke, Lynda Mullally and Gill Kyme. April 2012 We have two get-togethers this month, next week twenty members will go to the Trinity theatre to see the well-remembered musical 'Me and My Girl'. The President said she had seen our craft display at the Federation house in Louth, and produced a photograph to show what clever ladies we are; (alas I am not one of them).

The Elms is holding an open day in June and we shall have a table displaying information about our activities to prospective members. There is to be another golfing day at the end of May. Ann Lister will have the details.

Members were asked to bake cakes, scones etc for our cafe tent at the Lincolnshire Show on 20/21 June, so

come along and try the home-made refreshments. Th ose who intend to bake can deliver them to the showground on the 19th.

Our chosen charities for this year are St Barnabas and Romania. Linda Mullally invited members to join the midnight walk round Lincoln (6 miles) on June 18 for St Barnabas.

Th e speaker was a local lady, Liz Bamard who quite astonished us with her hobbies. She brought with her a number of woven, stitched, knitted and crochet items all superbly made. What was diff erent though was that she makes some of these lovely seats, bowls, mats, pouff es, clothes and small toys with other people's off cuts. For instance, lovely edging pieces from sari makers and polyester tee shirts. Even her weaving machine was made at home by her husband. Isn't this just the way to start a business without capital? Liz is not only clever but speedy with it. She can make a couple of items in one evening, and that's with having a family to look aft er. Ann Lister gave a vote of thanks on our behalf.

Th e raffl es were taken home by Barbara Clay, Cath Gissing, Mary Vinden, Janet Willcocks and Mary Broadbent. Th e competition for a home-made item saw the honours go to Sharon Mosely, Ann Close and Vivienne Elliott.

Gainsborough Rural SouthNeighbourhood Policing TeamHello again from your Gainsborough Rural South Neighbourhood Team

I've been away for a while but now I have returned, and a thank you to all who looked aft er the patch whilst I was away.

Unfortunately, whilst I was away, there have been a number of issues involving scrap metal collectors, and in particular a lot of metal theft s. Th ere are obviously a number of genuine collectors who are properly licenced and who only take away what you want removing, however, some are not so trusting or law-abiding - and we need to know about them.

Don't keep your information to yourself - share it with one another to keep each other safe, by looking out for one another - and share it with us! We will never object to being told all manner of stuff - and if you throw a cup of tea in, I'm sure the police response will be fabulous!

It may be a light-hearted comment but I am very serious when I want people to tell us information, as it is you who live within the community and you who see what is going on. We can't be everywhere at once and we rely on you to keep us in the picture. We appreciate every call and we treat all calls in complete confi dence.

We plan on trying to get more regular updates to you all, through Trentside Links and all the other publications throughout my patch, but don't forget

the police have a webpage, and also you can join Lincs Alert through this, and be kept up to date with news specifi c to your area, given out by your local police, to let you know what's happening too.

So take note of the numbers, emails etc listed, and make sure you keep talking to us and one another.
