Warsop & District Issue 21 August 2019 Remarks from the Chair Hello and welcome to the August 2019 Newsletter. I hope you are all enjoying the summer weather and managing to stay cool. I must admit I find the hot weather difficult and if I’m honest I prefer Spring and Autumn. I joined the trip to Sandringham Flower Festival which was a wonderful display of plants, flowers and crafts but unfortunately for me was a particularly hot day. However I did manage to find an air conditioned shop which gave a welcome relief from the sun. It was a great day out particularly for those who are sun worshippers. At the August meeting we will be joined by Consultants for ‘Vibrant Warsop’ who, as mentioned before, are carrying out a review of the activities, events and opportunities for people in Warsop & District. Vibrant Warsop is based at the The Shed (Adam Eastwood Building) and they have many activities they support. They also advertise and promote our Interest Groups to people and signpost them to us. The Consultants would like to talk to our members to gain your views on what you are interested in and what gaps there are in provision. Ballot on monthly meeting venue: I’m sure you are all eager to hear the results of the ballot held in July to decide if we change venue for our monthly meeting i .e. Stay at the Parish Centre (Tudor Barn) or move to the Oaklands. The ballot was held at the July meeting and for those not attending the meeting by post or email. The result has been posted on the website and is as follows: Count / Result of ballot Tudor Barn 57 Oaklands 45 Spoiled papers 1 Abstentions 3 Unreturned 2 Total 108 Therefore the decision is to remain at the Tudor Barn for our monthly meetings. The Committee also discussed future planning and we agreed to continue booking just the Tudor Barn i .e. not the Fitzherbert Room. It was felt that the Interest and Event tables are more successful and accessible at the rear of the Barn rather than separate in the Fitzherbert Room. We are also committed to our public relations / communication plan to increase our membership to ensure a vibrant Warsop & District U3A and to grow our Interest Groups. I will also be meeting with Parish Centre staff to try to resolve the difficulties with providing refreshments. Many thanks with your patience and support during the ballot process. Doors open at 10am for the 12 th August meeting with the meeting starting 10:15am and don’t forget to collect your lanyards and name badges and return them at the end of the meeting. I look forward to seeing you all there. Sylvia Acting Chair & Vice Chair Tel 07581 025900 Email; [email protected] Refreshment Team / Meeters & Greeters We have a healthy list of Meeters & Greeters who welcome and direct members, visitors and new members at each of our monthly meetings. This includes David and Paul who also put out the chairs and tables. However, our Refreshment Team has reduced considerably mainly due to illnesses and this has left a small band of 10 – 11 volunteers trying to maintain the service. Our plea for new volunteers has not resulted in any offers. Please consider if you could help – it’s the only way we will keep the refreshments going!! On the rota for next two General meetings: 12 th August 2019 Meeters & Greeters: Patricia Ellis and David Tyler and Paul Bingham Refreshments: Kate Guest, Marlene Bradley, Christine Chapman and Anne Poultney 14 th Oct 2019 Meeters & Greeters: Chris Wilson, Yvonne Brown and David Tyler and Paul Bingham Refreshments: Irene Crawford, Anne Poultney and 2 vacancies. Please let me know if you are unable to cover any dates so that I can find a replacement plus if anyone is able to help at the October meeting to cover the vacancy. Sylvia Ellis New Group Suggestions. I am very keen to help provide any new and interesting groups for our members. If you would like a new group please let me know at the monthly meeting. In the meantime I have had several ideas, namely Creative Writing, Mai Jong (for beginners) and Church Visiting. The latter is a very successful group for Southwell U3A who visit churches in a certain locality monthly from March to October; visiting 2 or 3 churches in the morning, having a nice lunch together and then another 1 or 2 churches in the afternoon. They have worked out this format which works well for them. If you would be interested in any of these three suggestions or one of your own come and see Tamar and me on the Groups Table at the monthly meeting. Ann.

Sandringham trip . On behalf of the members who attended the Sandringham day trip can I say a very big THANK YOU to Chris Wilson and Brenda Pearce for organising a lovely day to the flower festival. We set off at 7.30 on a very warm sunny morning, we were entertained on the coach with a quiz all about numbers, which made the time pass by. Arriving around 10.30 we all made our way round the show, many buying plants from the vast array of trade stalls. Plenty to see, beautiful set up gardens, marquees full of artisan foodstuffs, and crafts, displays from pipe bands, Red Devil’s display team and much more, Prince Charles and Camilla making an appearance chatting to the public. I think we were all seeking the shade as it was so hot but there wasn’t a lot to be had, glad to get on the coach for the trip home and air conditioning! We were entertained again on the way home with games of bingo and endless sweets. A thoroughly enjoyable day. Thank you. Sue Fenyn.

    ISSUE: 3 This is our third edition of “Edwinstowe Village News”. June was a big month in the calendar of the village, with the Jubilee celebrations and the visit of the Olympic Torch shortly afterwards. Inside you will find photos of the Edwinstowe “Jubilee Picnic” and the Edwinstowe Angels’ charity walk. 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.

    Geographies of Belonging in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield: Affect, Temporality and Deindustrialisation

    GEOGRAPHIES OF BELONGING IN THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COALFIELD: AFFECT, TEMPORALITY AND DEINDUSTRIALISATION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Jay Emery School of Geography, Geology and the Environment University of Leicester December 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the affective-temporal processes of belonging among mining families in the Nottinghamshire coalfield, examining how affective histories and memories of deindustrialisation and the coal industry mediate belongings. Literatures on the post- industrial working-class have noted how processes of deindustrialisation and industrial ruination have dismantled previous formations of belonging based around work, community and place. Research has also highlighted ways that the past emerges and surfaces in the present to unsettle and disrupt contemporary belongings. Analysis prescribed around specific methods belies the relationalities of discursive, embodied and sensorial textualities and distorts from how the past in the present is lived. Further, fundamental to understanding and recognising the past in the present is an attentive reading of those pasts from an historical perspective. Relatedly, social scientists have identified how affective class histories transfer intergenerationally and dispose working-class bodies to industrial forms of life that no longer exist. I suggest that the relationalities between belonging and memory, lived experience and intergenerational transferences need to be understood as one affective-temporal process. Drawing on weak theory, Anderson’s ‘analytics of affect’ and the genealogical method, I propose a multi-modal methodology emphasising attunement to the embodied, reflexive and more-than-representational modes that the past emerges, as well as a nuanced tracing of place pasts. Through this methodological and analytical framework, I conceive the Nottinghamshire coalfield as a set of temporal and affective enfolded blendings conditioning the capacities of residents to belong and resist alienation.

Back in 2016 the gang decided that they would undertake the voyage to Mongolia (and back). They spent several weeks trying to decide which model of car would best suit their needs, whilst simultaneously looking as cool as a cucumber which has been dunked into a vat of liquid nitrogen by A short bio of our team, the Fonz. They settled upon the Morris Minor 1000s, and went about buying two of them, driving down to Plymouth and Ipswich to Dom & Carla and Geoff & Chloe: retrieve their Ebay-won prizes, on the back of a borrowed trailer. The quartet then began preparing for the rally (work which Team name: Taking Care of Business (TCB) continues to this day), deciding on which charities to punt for, The Journey: From Warsop to Mongolia.. and back working on the cars, route and logistics planning, fundraising, visas 25 countries • 20,000 miles and so on.

  • Nottinghamshire Area Profile

    Nottinghamshire Area Profile

    Nottinghamshire area profile Geography Nottinghamshire is a county covering 805 square miles (2,085 sq. km). There are three distinct areas: the relatively affluent suburbs surrounding the City of Nottingham; the towns and villages in the north-west which grew out of the textile and coal industries; and the rural areas to the east and south characterised by prosperous market towns and villages in the Trent Valley. Towns and villages in the north and west that were the heartland of heavy industry now offer opportunities for servicing and manufacturing sector industries, with a major concentration of logistics and distribution companies on the M1 and A1 corridors. Rural communities to the east and south, outside of the main market towns, act largely as commuter belt for conurbations including Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester and London. These also have significant agricultural economies with market towns such as Newark and Retford offering more diverse opportunities. Industrial Heritage Its recent past is dominated by traditional heavy industries which supported entire communities and multiple generations followed by their collapse during the early 1990s. Coal, textile and clothing industries all declined with the last coalmine in the County closing in 2015. Small businesses and start-ups across a range of sectors have gradually replaced these traditional industries. These changes had a very serious impact on some communities however overall the county recovered well as new industries came to the area, existing businesses expanded, and employment grew. Demographic and socio-economic change The 2017 mid-year population estimates show there are currently 817,851 people living in Nottinghamshire with the population set to increase by 62,700 over the next 15 years due to net migration and increased life expectancy.

The Warsop Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group was established with the aim of preparing a Plan that will deliver the long term goals of a balanced and vibrant neighbourhood. Since becoming established, we have held many public meetings, both general open events and specific discussions with groups of school children and older people; for example, it held online and paper consultations to seek the views of local residents and other stakeholders, groups and businesses who share an interest in Warsop. In preparing this Neighbourhood Plan we have listened very carefully to all the feedback received through all these consultations and have worked hard to ensure that the Plan incorporates and reflects the views of the community.

    Clumber Park and Lake a Stroll in the Heart of Sherwood Forest

    Clumber Park and Lake A stroll in the heart of Sherwood Forest The Basics Six miles (9.5 kilometres). This vast area of forest and parkland is the Dukeries, formerly the ducal estates of Welbeck, Thoresby and Clumber. All three have ‘fallen from their Graces’ but Clumber lives on as the regional H.Q. of the National Trust, with the area taking on a new role as a popular country park. This longer walk encompasses many less frequented parts of the parkland, but includes part of the delightful lake-side track and the self-service cafeteria - of course. It’s mixed tarmac and footpaths. Before you go Look in Google for information on Clumber Park, Hardwick village and the Duke of New- castle. Binoculars are worth taking. Click on https://youtu.be/-Ez07DhwIo0 to watch a short video. How to Get There From Nottingham, take the A614 to the Ollerton roundabout, second left A616 through Budby, then right on the B6034 to Worksop. About 1 mile south of the A57, take the minor road on the right, signed to Clumber Park, to Tru- man’s Lodge, a secondary entrance to the Park. Just before the Lodge, bear left and continue for .4 of a mile, (.6 km) parking at a small lay- by on your left at the first track crossing-point. Go left here at Truman’s Lodge Map Ref. for the parking spot is SK611 761. Lay-by on left From Worksop and other towns north, take the B6034 to the minor road 1 mile south of the A57, then as above.
