MIDWEEK UPDATE 8th MARCH 2012
MIDWEEK UPDATE 8th MARCH 2012 CAISTOR RUNNING CLUB – BEGINNERS COURSE We are pleased to invite you to our 8 Week Get Started Running Course. This starts on Tuesday 13th March, and will on Tuesday and/or Thursday nights for the next 8 weeks. No experience is necessary. We aim to start from scratch and gradually build up over the 8 weeks. The course is free and very relaxed. You do not have to attend every session – we will be pleased to see you when you can make it. For more information please visit www.caistorrunningclub.com or phone Chris Robey on 01472 851189 (Eve) STARTS Tuesday 13th March 2012 This course is FREE and aimed at absolute beginners, where we aim to start from scratch and have you jogging for a full 30 minutes by the end of 8 weeks. Week 1 Brisk Walk / Jog - 1 minute Walk - 90 seconds (which we then repeat 8 times) Week 2 Jog - 2 minutes Walk - 1 minute (repeat x 7) By Week 4 Jog - 5 minutes Walk - 2 minutes (repeat x 4) By Week 7 Jog - 15 minutes Walk - 1 minute (repeat x 2) We will be holding the course at 6:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday nights, at the Sports and Social Club, off Brigg Road in Caistor. All the running will take place around the football and cricket pitches at the Club. The idea is that you do the week’s workout three times during the week: once on Tuesday, again on Thursday and finally the third in your own time. But it’s fine if you cannot make all the sessions or can only attend one night. Everyone will be given the complete plan at the beginning, so you can mark off the sessions whenever you are able to do them. On completing the course, you will be more than fit enough to take part in our regular Tuesday Club night should you wish to do so. Everyone who attends at least one session each week will receive a Certificate upon completion of the course. Although originally set up last April as an informal group, Caistor Running Club has been so successful that we now have over 50 members, and have recently constituted ourselves as a club, with the aim that "we run for fun". Our approach is of inclusion and informality, with an equal number of male/female members, across a wide range of ages. We are not trained to provide courses and/or training, and will only be supporting your own endeavours. On your first night we will ask you to complete an application form for the course, confirming that you are medically fit to take part, and do so at your own risk. Children Children 16-17 must have their application counter-signed by a parent/guardian. Children 12-15 must have their application counter-signed by a parent/guardian and be accompanied at workouts by a parent/guardian or responsible adult. ...................................................................................................................................

The play shares with its audience a year in the life of a group of painters and decorators, as they renovate a three-storey town house for Mayor Sweater. It traces their struggle for survival in a complacent and stagnating Edwardian England. These workers are the "philanthropists" who throw themselves into back-breaking work for poverty wages in order to generate profit for their masters. Performed as a two-hander, the play includes the"The Great Money Trick" the simplest demonstration of capitalist crisis yet performed. The cast are Rodney Matthew who joins the production straight off the back of Jerusalem in the West End ~ and Neil Gore of Song of Singapore (Chichester Festival Theatre and the West End). Together they use songs of the period, comedy routines and characterization to recreate vividly the spirit and clarity of the political message. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

BEST KEPT TOWN/VILLAGE Celebrating 50 years of Lincolnshire’s Best Kept Villages and Small Market Towns This year is the 50th anniversary of County’s Best Kept Villages and Small Towns competition. The competition has grown over the years to now represent more than 125 communities in five categories based on population size. It encourages communities to take pride in their surroundings and work together to raise local environmental standards. Communities are judged on factor such as Green Spaces, Community Buildings and Good Environmental Practice. The competition is run by Community Lincs in Partnership with CPRE and sponsorship from the County and District Councils. It gives me great pleasure to announce that Pennells Garden Centres, who have been involved with the competition since 1964, are awarding a special prize this year to the highest scoring community taken from our records which go back to 1962. The winning community will be announced in the Autumn. This year there is a new category to celebrate the 50th Anniversary, the shops in the larger communities will have the opportunity to get involved and help their community to gain points and win a £200 voucher for floral displays in their community, information about this will be in the entry pack and on our web-site. The category is sponsored by the Federation of Small Business’s Real-Life Entrepreneurs project. If you are keen for your community to enter contact your Parish Clerk who will have received an entry pack from Community Lincs.

Stagecoach are intending to reduce the current hourly service to 5 a day, losing late morning & early afternoon buses . Tesco are apparently intending to reduce their Caistor/Brigg free bus. This was introduced when Caistor had no supermarket , since the new Coop opened demand has apparently reduced for the bus. Don’t forget the CALL CONNECT SERVICE – connecting the villages to Caistor & Rasen See below. END
