Springtime and new birth: just around the corner Triumphant scenes at another successful Caythorpe Dash Over one hundred and seventy people took part in the 4 th running of the Caythorpe Dash, a Half Marathon, an event for teams of four (two men and two women) and individuals. running through the Lincolnshire countryside. Starting at Caythorpe Playing Field, the route went through Stubton, Gelston, Hough -on-the-Hill and back into Caythorpe. At the British Heart Foundation Tea Party from left: Angela Turner, Sue Case and Deanna Hammond The weather was very cold, temperature below freezing and, with the rain and snow we had over the week, the course was very muddy & slippery, especially over the various wooden stiles the competitors had to negotiate. However, after a few falls, cuts and bruises, all the competitors successfully finished the run. People ended the day with a good hot shower and a scrumptious feast in the Pavilion.

St Nicholas Church Normanton on Cliffe St Nicholas Church has been in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, with local key holders opening and locking the church daily. The church annual maintenance and electricity is paid for by the Trust and local donations may help towards covering some of the costs associated with this. The Trust is aware that there has been a recent breakdown in local management and would like to consult with local residents, the parish council and the PCC to develop a more sustainable management plan at the church. It is for this reason that I am writing to invite any interested parties to a meeting at the church on Thursday 26th March, beginning at 6pm.

It has been a very successful year for the club with six new members, bringing the total membership to twenty-one. Each week around a dozen men and women meet to bowl and some weeks there have been as many as sixteen or seventeen players. This is a very friendly group and many social occasions are planned throughout the year: 10-pin bowling, meals out, games afternoons, parties etc. The club meets at Caythorpe Village Hall on Tuesdays from 2-4p.m. Contact 01400 273090. Caythorpe Village Hall Defibrillator the things that we would rather were kept hidden in the dark about ourselves and our behaviour will be brought to the surface and exposed to the light. Can anyone provide information as to why this defibrillator was collected from the site - but not used - and returned during late afternoon on Sunday 8th February? The main issue is that once the machine is removed, whether it has been used or not, it has to be checked to ensure it is in full working order and in a state of readiness for future use.

Our prayer is that we will not be tempted beyond our limits of endurance and our hope lies in the risen Christ 40 days from now. It need not be a time of unremitting doom and gloom however and there seems little point in ‘giving up’ things for Lent if it is done out of superstition or concerns for our looks rather than our innermost souls! The idea is that by engaging creatively through the discipline of contemplation and prayer all 24 were invited to this by the organiser Doreen Taylor and her husband Peter. Thank you both and the superb, professional team of helpers and servers – you were excellent. I am sure that for some of us this could be a daunting thought…and yet others of you might think that you cannot reconcile the idea of a loving God with all the suffering that there is in the world; and not least that you cannot understand why God called Jesus his ‘beloved’ and ‘Only Son’ would then allow Him to die in agony on a cross. It was a simply wonderful evening as I’m sure that you can see from the photograph that our churchwarden Debbie Knowles supplied (see page 28 - Ed). We are all looking forward to the next one already and have been proud to be part of the many supporters of this event. Thank you for making us so welcome, I will long remember it. The food and company were delicious and it These are fair questions and have concerned people for years. Perhaps that is why was fun and relaxing at the same time. I one of the readings for the first Sunday in even won the table prize…and am looking Lent focuses on Noah and the Ark and the forward to a trip to the Beauty Rooms at Caythorpe soon.

Do not leave the patient alone The defibrillator will automatically give clear and concise spoken instructions as to how to use it Continue with CPR and the defibrillator until such time as a paramedic arrives and takes over When treatment has finished the defibrillator must be returned to the cabinet and the co-ordinator, whose telephone number is shown on the inside of the cabinet door, must be advised that it has been used, this will enable to unit to be restored to a state of readiness for future use. This successful and popular event is in its 6th year, thanks to the dedicated passion of organisers Doreen Taylor and Iris Gerrard. Behind the scenes there is an army of committed people whose help is invaluable. Adrienne Guyer-Taylor volunteered her time and single-handedly produced three superb courses for everyone's enjoyment. Peter Taylor & Helen Giddings worked tirelessly furniture shifting, glass washing, clearing up, etcetera. Thanks must also go to Mandy Binns and her team of PGL Staff who manned the bar and served at table so splendidly along with all the other young folk who gave up their time to help. Many local businesses, pubs, restaurants, hair salons and beauty parlours donated generous table and raffle prizes. Their support is greatly valued. Of course, those of you took part made the whole event a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We look forward to seeing all of you next year.

A further donation to the Community Heartbeat Project was received from family and friends of the late Geoff Baxter. Geoff was 89 years old, the youngest of five children.

We enjoyed it and had lots of fun. Letters, which are most welcome, are accepted by post and email only. Please provide your name, address and a contact number. Your name or pseudonym will be published. From: Archdeacon Brian Lucas CB Sir - In the February 2015 edition of News and Views, the Reverend Alison Healy wrote of “problems which have beset the [St Vincent’s] church for many years”. As the last Rector of Caythorpe, before the freehold title was suspended following my retirement, I would like to set the record straight by stating unequivocally that I experienced only loyalty, kindness and total support from people throughout the village of Caythorpe and Frieston, as well as from parishioners in Fulbeck, Carlton Scroop and Normanton, from my appointment in March 1996 until I retired in September 2003. The problems to which she refers must be very recent. Football: In football we have recently played three games. The first game was against Our lady (Sleaford) and we won 10-0 against them. Our second game was against Chestnut Street we again won 9-0 and last but by no means least we played against Osbournby. Unfortunately we lost 2-4 and even though we lost one game we still won two. It was because of this friendship throughout the benefice that we remained here after retirement, and we continue to thank God for all the good people around us. Written by Charlotte in Year 6 May I conclude by saying how pleased I am that you have continued to produce the parish magazine under the title, News and Views, and that you have maintained and enhanced the high standard to which we have become accustomed. It only takes a few minutes to let everyone know everything about your event. Brian Lucas. Caythorpe Tell them in News and Views! Email: [email protected] Sir - May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the new look Parish Magazine.

In fact, the whole gamut of parish life was good, and my wife and I had many memorable and vibrant experiences, ranging from the joy of the Sung Eucharist on Easter Day to a ‘Pub Night’, when Joy accompanied the singing of old pub songs after supper in the Village Hall. Many will remember the variety of excellent guest speakers from London at our annual St Vincent’s Dinner, and our Harvest suppers were not complete without David Theaker leading us in the Lincolnshire Poacher! I note with interest some comments the Revd Healey made in the February edition. I was not aware that there had been problems at St Vincent's for many years.

When she called, we had an opportunity to ask her three questions and get the answers. We found out that she is an explorer travelling around the world using only human power. She has called her journey ‘London 2 London: via the world’. When we spoke to Sarah, she was in America and we spoke to her on a satellite phone. Two children from Marston school came and passed on the legacy oar to us on which we wrote down a little message of good luck for her and sent it to another school to continue the messages of encouragement. The oar will go to Sarah Outen when she gets back from her incredible journey. As part of the legacy tour, we also got given a bike and we had the rest of 24 hours to pedal as many miles on the bike as we could. We reached 65.5 miles and although we didn’t win, everybody enjoyed doing it and it was very fun. Caythorpe School’s Sporting News Netball: On 2nd February we played a netball match against Helpringham - the score was 6 all ,so it was an even game and everybody enjoyed playing in it. We also had another netball match on the 9th February which was against Claypole. They won 10-6 but it was a fun game. Our most recent fixture was a tournament on 11 th February and we came 3rd place overall in our league. We played extremely well and it was a great team effort! Volleyball: At the volleyball tournament we played 4 games, winning 3 and losing 1 . It was a well-played tournament and we did very well. Zumba: On 2nd February some children from Zumba club put together a routine and performed it against five other schools at Kesteven and Sleaford High School Select Academy. We performed to ‘Price Tag’ by Jessie J. We didn’t win but we all had fun.

I am sure they all enjoyed the programme and the very welcome soup and desert supper in the interval. Charity No. 217632 Caythorpe-Relief-in-Need Charity was formed in the 1970’s as an amalgamation of several small local charities. The earliest of these was a will of 1753. The objective of the Charity as stated in the founding document is:… shall be to relieve either generally, or individually persons resident in the Parish of Caythorpe who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress. Additionally the Trustees may make grants of money and/or goods to organisations in the Parish of Caythorpe which are involved in the education, support and welfare of individuals or groups within the Parish of Caythorpe. In exceptional cases, the Trustees may grant relief to persons otherwise eligible who are resident immediately outside the Parish of Caythorpe. The Charity has an annual income of about £175 so its resources are pretty limited. If you are involved with a parish organisation, or are aware of anyone who might benefit from a small grant, please contact one of the Trustees. It was very gratifying to see so many there on such a miserable evening, and thanks to them £291 was raised for Church funds. Our grateful thank go to them, the singers and also all the people who contributed to the supper. (See photo on page 28 - Ed) Janet Avison, Lay Chair.

[email protected] Parish Council News……March 2015 Parish Council elections……The Parish Council is coming to the end of its current period of tenure which will see all members having to decide whether or not they wish to stand for office again. We have eleven members of the Parish Council and if more than that number wish to stand then an election, held on the same day as the General Election, will be required. If there are eleven or less no election will need to take place. I would like to thank all of my fellow Councillors for all their hard work and wish them well if they decide to stand for again. District Council elections…..In addition to the above District Councillor Bob Sampson will also reach the end of his current period of tenure. The work that he has done in supporting your Parish Council as well as acting on behalf of many of you as individuals has been tremendous. We have very much valued his constant support which has made our job so much easier. We wish him well in the forthcoming election as an Independent candidate for the newly named ward of Loveden Heath. Dog fouling….It has been brought to our attention that the incidence of dog fouling on our pavements and footpaths has again reached an appalling level. All dog owners are reminded that it is an offence to let their animal foul any public area. I am sure that it is a small minority of dog owners who are responsible which can of course wrongly get all dog owners a bad name. If you are able to supply any member of your Parish Council with details of a dog fouling incident that you have witnessed then please do not hesitate to do so. Local Plan……SKDC are in the process of drawing up a new plan which will set out the vision and objectives for the district, establish the amount and location for growth and development and guide the form, scale and type of future development. A copy of the draft plan is on the SKDC website and comments from individuals have to be submitted no later than March 6th; we will be discussing it at our next meeting. Forthcoming meeting ….The next and last meeting of your current Parish Council will take place in the Village Hall on Wednesday 11th March. The meeting will commence at 7.15pm when residents are able to comment on and draw matters to the attention of the meeting and then to stay and list to but not participate in the main meeting which will commence shortly there after. Bruce Nelson……Chairman Please Support our Advertisers—tell them you found them in News and Views 18 The playing fields are a valuable asset for the entire village and for those who visit when participating in the various sporting activities that are organised on a regular basis. The new path will increase the numbers who are able to enjoy the facilities and it is part of an ongoing investment in the property. Our thanks again to the Big Lottery Fund. Bruce Nelson ……Treasurer Caythorpe’s New Afternoon Craft Club Fifteen ladies attended the inaugural meeting of the club and five sent their apologies. As a group, the ladies decided they would like to meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Thursday between 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm. Cost for each meeting will be £2 per person. The first meeting will be on Thursday 12th March in the village hall lounge. The theme will be " Show and Tell"; this will enable those very talented ladies to demonstate and share their craft-making skills which will result in the new group acquiring new talents. Do come along and join us. Angela Turner 01476 401459 My mother taught me about BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION "Stop acting like your father!" Open Gardens The date for Open Gardens has been decided, it will be Sunday June 21st. The timing will be decided nearer the time, it will depend on how many gardens will be opening.

This has been made possible following several years of commitment and financial backing from Caythorpe & Frieston Parish Council, in conjunction with a substantial grant from the ‘Big Lottery Fund’. Also huge thanks have to be given to G R Ward & Co for their help in preparing the land and general advice, and assistance in getting the site ready for occupation. The first stage will involve the construction of a widened access, car parking for up to six vehicles and fencing of the allotment area. An ‘Allotment Association’ has now been formed which will manage the day to day operation and administration of the site, complying with the terms of an agreement that has been drawn up by the Parish Council. There are still a few remaining plots available to residents of Caythorpe and Frieston and consideration will be given to sub division of a plot. If you are interested in renting an allotment further information and an Application Form can be obtained from the Allotment Association Secretary: Mel Stevens, Email: [email protected]; Tel: 01400 272399.

Secondly, following the recent EnergieKontor public exhibition at Stubton Village Hall concerning the proposed wind farm at Fulbeck Airfield, the latest proposals has been revised to ten turbines each 110metres (361ft) high, with a blade diameter of 92.5metres (303ft). They intend to submit their formal application within 4-6 weeks to SKDC. A survey is currently being conducted throughout all the nearby parishes to establish the public reaction to this latest proposal.

Ray Biggs, manager at Grimsthorpe Castle, used slides of historical plans and documents and portraits of the family, who have owned the castle since Tudor times, to take us through a thousand years of history of the site from its likely origins as the homestead of a Dane named Grim. In 1147 Vaudey Abbey was founded close to the site by Cistercian monks, who became very rich from the wool trade. The abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII and its lands became the property of the Willoughby family. The foundations of the building now lie within a wood and only the fish ponds and deer park remain. The abbey stones were used in the construction of a Tudor mansion, incorporating a watchtower from earlier times. Over the centuries, as fashions changed, both the house and grounds were remodelled on a grand scale several times, though there were periods of neglect when the owners chose to live elsewhere. After two world wars and the social changes they brought, the staff required to maintain such a large estate were hard to find and more manageable formal gardens were designed. The parkland is now a valuable refuge for native plants and animals, with ancient oaks and several SSSI within its boundaries and both park and house are open to the public from April to September. Many thanks to Ray for his fascinating account of one of our local landmarks. Our speaker for March will be Pam Tatam from Hall Farm Gardens, who will talk about annual plants that ‘Live fast and Die Young’. Visitors (£3) and new members (£12) will be most welcome at Carlton Scroop Village Hall, 7:30 on March 10 th. Just come along or call David Fidler, 01400 272630 for details.
