The club is by the minute – and every event was helping to raise Kate’s challenging the community to ‘pass’ an iconic oversized rugby profile and bring in donations from participants and onlookers. ball in as many fun and inventive ways as possible in the build- Videos are posted on the official website showing the ball’s up to the Rugby World Cup in September, each pass raising adventures and progress and how to donate: vital funds for local charity Kate’s Home Nursing. www.facebook.com/CarryMeHomeKate

14 Kate’s Home Nursing played a vital part in the life of Sean Clarke, whose father Christopher received palliative care for six weeks before passing away in 1998. “A lot of people aren’t aware of these nurses before it’s too late,” stressed Sean. “But they offer a safety net and a warm embrace.

“They don’t just do wonderful work looking after the patient TO DONATE or buy a but also support the family, taking a huge weight off your wristband visit shoulders with practical and emotional help, without being in www.justgiving.com/carry your face. With Dad, they typically came in twice a day and mehomekate then, closer to the end, they were there for longer. If you know your loved one is getting the best care, and it’s from a local charity, that takes off an awful lot of pressure too.”

Sean and his brother Simon run Christopher Clarke Antiques in Stow and have raised funds for Kate’s Home Nursing for a decade, together with Manfred Schotten Antiques in Burford. “Most of our rugby club members come from the Stow, Moreton, Bourton, Northleach, Winchcombe and Burford area, which is also covered by Kate’s, so supporting it has a natural symmetry,” said Sean. “This time I wanted to unite all the club’s sections and past members in one major fun event.”

BOURTON TIMES AUGUST 2015.indd 48 23/07/2015 16:15 Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters.

Westonbirt Arboretum July 10th

From Richard Price for Cotswold Times.

At long last Robert Plant seems to have completely settled into the skin of a solo artist – it’s taken a while! In the 35 years since the demise of Led Zeppelin, the singer with the most recognisable voice in rock has unapologetically indulged himself in dalliances with a succession of different musical genres, drawing from the ubiquitous presence of the delta blues to the African rhythms from whence they derived, and from country to bluegrass and back again via folk to the blues. A rollercoaster ride through newer solo songs including Indeed, Westonbirt Arboretum provided the perfect ‘Rainbow’, ‘Turn It Up’ and ‘Little Maggie’- all destined backdrop for Plant’s return to the Cotswolds as part of to be classics in due course – also took in versions of the Forestry Live series, its wide variety of plant and songs from his Zeppelin days that are now as familiar as tree species (many beautifully lit) perfectly mirroring a favourite pair of old trainers. ‘Black Dog’ sat the singer’s eclectic, organic repertoire on this night. comfortably alongside the vintage bluesy refrain of Having previously eschewed the delights of his Led Zep ‘Spoonful’, while ‘Trampled Under Foot’, a haunting back catalogue, Plant now plunders it freely, adding version of ‘The Rain Song’ (complete with more than a new arrangements and hitherto unheard few drops from above!) ‘Dazed and Confused’, ‘The instrumentation, or stripping songs bare for ultimate Lemon Song’ and, of course, ‘WholeLotta Love’ segued effect. From the moment he barrelled into a gritty seamlessly with standards such as ‘No Place to Go’ , ‘I version of The Wanton Song from Zeppelin’s ‘Physical Just Want to Make Love to You’ and ‘Who Do You Graffiti’, it was clear that recent problems he’d had Love’. In some instances these segues were so subtle with his trademark voice had completely dissipated as that the songs almost seemed to have been written he launched into a series of goosebump-inducing vocal together as one. acrobatics. This is a man content in his work, doing what he wants whether you like it or not. But, if the delirious Westonbirt audience, reclining in the balmy Cotswold evening air, is anything to go by, it seems he can do no wrong. Whatever he does he now has an uncanny knack of keeping himself and his audience on their toes and happy. Continuing to move forward on his musical journey, Robert Plant is now clearly more than comfortable to shoot the occasional backward glance – long may he continue.

success in your new school. Our Play Ranger activities are open access. This means there is no registration – children can leave the site at any time. Our Play Rangers will not stop them and may not know that they have left.

We encourage children to take responsibilities for their own actions. We think this is good for them. They will be encouraged to resolve disagreements amongst themselves. We will intervene if absolutely necessary.

Play Gloucestershire believe that children need and want to take risks when they play. Our Play Rangers aim to respond to these needs by offering children stimulating, challenging environments for exploring and developing their abilities. In doing this, we aim to manage the level of risk so that children are not exposed to unacceptable risks. Our experience tells us that whilst children play outdoors they are likely to have accidents. If this causes concern ‘Learning together is fun’ please come along and speak to us about it. Tel: 07923483970 [email protected] All our activities are outdoors and include den building, fires, arts and crafts, sports and a . range of playful games. We encourage children to play freely and choose what they do. St David’s Centre, Church Street They do not have to do anything if they don’t want to.

Chedworth 8-a-Side Festival Our men retained their festival crown as they became champions of the annual 8-a-side tournament at Chedworth once again. The team secured their place in the knockout phase after topping their group with two wins out of two - against Chedworth and Stowell Park. They went on to win their semi- final against Langford by 30 runs, with Angus Hayward and John McPhilimey both scoring 25 not out. In the final they took on hosts, Chedworth. An excellent bowling display, in which Joe Boote took two wickets, restricted Chedworth to just 50 runs. This target was achieved with two overs to spare with Tim Williams-Ellis scoring 25 runs. The winning 8-a-side squad from Slaughters United cheered on by members of our Under 9 team.

Men’s Team Update Unfortunately our 1st XI have had a very disappointing run of results and have been unable to manage a win this month. They lost to Cranham, Shurdington and Frocester and their match against Stone was abandoned because of the weather. Despite slipping down to 9th position in the league and into the relegation zone, the players are working hard to get back to winning ways and to earn the team vital batting and bowling bonus points in the league. Angus Hayward batted well to score 77 (Cranham home) and 61 (Frocester away), and Tim Williams-Ellis finished on 79 (Cranham home). Skipper, Stephen Stroud, showed good bowling form against Cranham: 9-2-33-3. Our 2nd XI have only played two games this month. They achieved an impressive victory to beat league leaders Central Hall by 4 wickets. Theo Hayward was the top batter with 78*, including 12 fours. However, in their local derby against Great Rissington there were several regular players missing and our team were unable to match the batting strength of their opponents and failed to reach the target of 238 that had been set. Mark Saunders returned from injury to bowl and took some crucial wickets: 4-2-4-3. With a shortage of players available to bowl, this season’s wicket keeper Diddle Keen and last season’s wicket keeper Andrew Herbert took a turn to bowl and took two wickets each. Ladies’ squad member Michelle Kilmister was also called up to play in the team so that they could field a full side. Our T20 XI’s season has now ended as the team were knocked out of the plate semi-final by Poulton, losing by 25 runs. 1st XI Home fixtures (GCCL Div 2): 2nd XI Home fixtures (CDCA Div 3): Sat 8th August @ 1.30pm v Tetbury Sat 1st August @ 2.15pm v Central Hall Sat 29th August @ 1.30pm v Frocester 3rd XI Sat 22nd August @ 2.15pm v Cirencester 3rd XI Contact [email protected] for more details
