There were still plenty of people who were determined not to be put off by the rain and came out to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. Also inside, are pictures of the day the Olympic Torch came to Edwinstowe. People turned out in their thousands to welcome the Torch to “Robin Hood’s village”. It was one of those once in a lifetime days when people could say, “I was there.” Britain’s fickle weather didn’t smile kindly names, including Goffs, Benhams and Ococo had stalls on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations- and Scott from Treet House did a hog roast for the Angels. organising any outdoor event in this country is a Some of Edwinstowe’s top talent performed throughout matter of chance.

  • REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

  • Case Studies
    Section 4: Case Studies Section 4: Case Studies 18 case studies have been identified in the East Midlands – information on the following are set out below: Sustainable housing in the East Midlands - 119 Section 4: Case Studies Albert Hall Memorial Housing, Coalville Location Coalville, Leicestershire Type of Area Suburban Tenure Social housing rental Built Form Detached bungalow Contact Name East Midlands Housing Association Phone / e-mail (01530) 839091 Summary The development consists of seven dwellings incorporating elements of passive solar design, high levels of insulation and mechanical heat recovery ventilation. It was designed and built by the East Midlands Housing Association for older clients. Extensive monitoring and analysis was carried out by the Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU) as part of the project, and much of the information presented here draws on this report. The project demonstrates how more attention and research at the design stage can enhance the benefits that may be derived from such energy saving features. It also shows how the perspectives of success or failure of a design differ between building professionals and residents. Project Objectives To create a high-quality flagship sheltered housing development for older people that is highly energy efficient and incorporates the principles of passive solar design. History of Concept The development, which was constructed in 1990, consists of seven dwellings (three two bedroom and four one bedroom bungalows) and is a memorial to a former member of the housing association, Albert Hall. The association wanted an energy efficient scheme that used electricity as its main heat source. The energy consultants decided on a highly insulated design with controlled ventilation that would meet the regional electricity company’s Civic Shield 2000 standard.
