After a postponement due to the early spring rainfall, Leicester Huncote Hornets, the BMX club based at Blaby District Council’s Pavilion Leisure Centre, will host the final rounds of the British Cycling National BMX Race Series.

After failing to enter a plea she was fined £440 for each dog and was ordered to pay costs of £80 and a £44 victim surcharge. A Glenfield man was ordered to pay £322 after his Patterdale Terrier was picked up on 21 May 2018 in Glenfield. He pleaded guilty and was fined £152, with costs of £140 and a £30 victim surcharge. The Control of Dogs Order (1992) says that a dog in a public place must wear a collar bearing the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved or written on it or engraved on a tag.

  • LEICESTERSHIRE ORIENTEERING CLUB Permanent Orienteering Course Fosse Meadows, Sharnford
    LEICESTERSHIRE ORIENTEERING CLUB Permanent Orienteering Course Fosse Meadows, Sharnford Fosse Meadows Nature Park lies off the old Fosse Way (Roman Road) to the east of Sharnford. The park is managed by Blaby District Council. The 57 Ha park was formerly farmland but several areas have been planted with blocks of trees. Some of these blocks are now mature enough to be used for orienteering and together with the other more open areas of the park they provide a reasonable challenge, particularly for less experienced orienteers. The stream running along the east side of the map is the River Soar, not far from its source. This is Leicestershire’s longest river and eventually joins the River Trent in the north of the county. Getting there The permanent orienteering courses start and finish at the car park on the old Fosse Way at Grid Ref SP489909. This cul-de-sac section of the Fosse Way is only accessible from the north. You can use the following links to other maps which allow you to zoom in or out.
