Minting Classic Motor Show

was a fantastic success and congratulations to everyone involved! The event raised nearly £600 for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.

Over 100 classic vehicles (cars, agricultural and motor bikes attended) which greatly exceeded expectations.

Everybody involved both before, during and after, in planning, catering, marshalling, marketing and judging the entries worked extremely hard and visitors thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the vehicles.

A bright red E-type Jaguar was judged as the overall winner. 1

Portfolio is a Clinical / Remedial Pilates Treatment Class suitable for all from complete beginners to regulars. An effective prescription of matwork and deep muscle releases will ease stiff joints and unlock tight hips ,feet and legs so easing your back , neck and shoulders.

About our Heritage…..

We’ll try and feature some stories about important landmarks and historical information about our villages in every issue.

Did you know that there is a book entitled “Glimpses and Gleanings from Minting and Gautby” which was given free to every household in our villages by the Parish Council in 2010? It is currently out of print but is available from Library Service.
