News Views a D Volume 3 N Number 3 Easter 2012 RUSHCLIFFE SCOUT DISTRICT News Views a d Volume 3 Number 3 n Easter 2012 Editorial Welcome to the Easter edition of News and Views and may I wish all our readers a very happy Easter. Not a lot to offer in this edition but I have managed to put twelve pages together. I would like to thank all of you who submitted their articles. The District is still growing since Jock took over 4 years ago. On a sad note we all said our goodbyes to Gooders both at the crematorium and at St. Giles, he was a great Scouter with almost 40 years service in the District and will be sadly missed by everyone in the District. My thanks go to Ron Shepherd for helping me put my badges on my shirt in the right places hopefully. And again to reiterate my words have a happy Easter. Looking forward to seeing you at the Forest ground for St. George’s Day Parade and Service, and let us all follow Gooders example and “Look Wide” and keep on trekking. Your Editor Ron Berrington The D.C.’s Spot March is half way through, is it Christmas yet?. The months seem to fly by. We’ve seen growth this last year, up 11%.,We have opened a New Group at the 11th.,Sutton Bonington opened an Explorer Unit, found more leaders, and in Dave Goodrum lost a good one. But Rushcliffe, like life, carries on. Our Leaders continue to provide excellent Scouting and efforts pay off. Most groups have grown in numbers, a few groups like Meadow Covert, Langar, Cropwell, Ruddington & WB Explorers for example have found grants, councillors and other agencies to help out with various projects and camps. I’ve said before: If you don't ask, you don’t get. So I guess its worth writing now and again. Our wardens keep our campsites going for us to use. They too need a little help now and then so if you have a few moments free give them a hand. Camping time is not that far away. Just 4 months to July!! Have you set plans for your camp? Booked your site? Sorted transport? Got those cheaper deals? Sorted your budget? I hope by now you have at least made a start as time flies. Don’t miss out on a great camp by leaving it all to the last minute. St Georges Day is not far either, hope you are all coming, will be another good turn-out. Dave Goodrum always said "Look Wide". We in Rushcliffe are always looking for something different to make a difference. Something different, something new. Whether it’s Cubs at Butlins, Beavers on a train, a County Camp with 800 of us from the District. Whether it be a Forestry Badge, overnight in York Minster, on a narrow boat or Gotham, Bonington & East Leake organising joint activities, we are positive and continue to "Look Wide". As long as we all enjoy our Scouting we can only go one way together, growing and offering our young people those experiences that most of us have had at one time or another in life. Let’s enjoy the Summer weather, it will arrive soon. Then its poke the fire time, sausages in the pan, the smell of a wood fire and the gnat bites.......Bliss. Enjoy Scouting In Rushcliffe Jock From the Chair Just looking back it’s hard to believe that four years ago Jock was taken on as the temporary District Commissioner and we were looking at the merger that now forms our Rushcliffe District. The rest is history new groups have been formed, some have grown others not as fortunate, but I am pleased to say our growth, as a District, today is still better than the national average. On a sad note Dave “Gooders” Goodrum, passed away in March, having done almost 40 years in Scouting .Dave was a Scouter though and through and always could be relied upon for his valuable advice and opinion on Scouting matters. He will be missed by all that knew him. Looking forward we have our annual St Georges Day parade on the 22 April fingers crossed for good weather and good turnout. Chris Hammond District Chairman SCOUT ACTIVE SUPPORT Rushcliffe District March 7th, 2012. S.A.S. stands for Supporting Active Scouting. At our A.G.M. in February we decided to look back for a short period at our history. So I thought that the new leaders might like to know a bit about us. The group started in 1936 and was called; Bridgford Old Boys. 1946; the name was changed to B.P. Guild (Baden Powell) 1970 we were renamed the Scout Fellowship. 2011 another new name S.A.S. 4 titles in 79 years. So what has changed, not much really, perhaps only our uniforms, we still do exactly what was decided in 1936. We support all sections in all groups in our District when needed, with advice, help and practical things. Night hikes, badge work, the camp site at Gotham, District camps and many other activities. We also help out at some County Events like International Jamborees. Serve on various committees such as finance, appointments and the activities within Rushcliffe. We have a reputation of being the most active S.A.S in the County. I was the first female to join this group and now we are about equal in number to the men. I have kept a record of awards since 2008, 1 axe award, 2x60 years etc. and until today February 29th 2012 over 415 years of service. We have raised over £100 for various charities both here and abroad, B.P. said “Look Wide”. In our change box over 200 books were sent to the Sea Mans Mission Hostel in Hull for their deep sea members to read when ashore, And over 900 balloons for the children’s club run at the Queens Med. Centre, for hospitalised children run by the Sou-Westers Fellowship. So what do we retired leaders and people get out of belonging to this Scout Family. Exhaustion (at times a few more grey hairs) commitments but most of all what we have always been blessed with, fun, laughter and friendship. We are therefore looking forward to many more happy scouting years in what is usually a very happy District. We will see you in Southall in May. Come and talk to us and get the young ones to do so too so that they know who we are and what we do as Scouts. May the sun shine on us and on you in 2012. Brenda Taylor Coordinator Admin. SPRING IS COMING Spring is on its way. By the middle of February the Hawthorn at Stonepit was coming into leaf, Ladybirds were still active and Long-tailed, Blue and Coal Tits were proclaiming the start of the breeding season. The first day of March and there were a very few violets out and a Peacock butterfly was trying its wings, two weeks later the Chaffinches had the spring feeling, violets were out in profusion and Brimstone, Comma and Peacock butterflies were on show. Now for the not such good news from 1st April Stonepit site fees will be increasing, but the actual amounts have yet to be decided, we hope you will feel that whatever the amount you will still get good value. Hollygate on February 4th and it appeared that winter had returned. Was the Brass Monkey Camp on or off? Got a call about 12.30 hrs to say there was no water as the pipes were frozen and should we call the camp off? A few minutes later another call to say the hardworking wardens had managed to unfreeze the pipes enough to get some facilities working, so the camp was back on. Out we went and started to set up camp in reasonable weather, but by 15.00 hrs the snow started falling, were we put off? NO – we carried on. We eventually managed to get a campfire going. (Never in the history of Scouting has it taken so many so long to get a fire alight.) I was ‘nesh’, and never having intended to camp made my way home about 21.30 hrs. From later reports the camp was successful and an unusual experience for many. Thanks to the leaders and wardens for all their hard work. Same time next year? Hollygate and Stonepit are both there to give the outdoor experience to our young people; site staff are always able to give help, advice and training. Please make use of the sites and Staff during the coming year – we never close. As Gooder’s always said ‘Put the OUT in Scouting’ Dave H. 3rd (Friary) West Bridgford Cubs - Climbing High! "3rd Friary West Bridgford Cubs had a fantastic time at the Nottingham Climbing Centre. We climbed lots and lots of walls, including climbing horizontally across a wall. It was really good fun and all the Cubs had a great time. Cubs in our group are invested in cool places and some new Cubs were invested at the Climbing Centre." Written by Patrick Loughran (Cub) age 9 The Climbing Wall evening was partially funded by money raised from the Armed Forces day in West Bridgford Park last summer. Thanks to everyone that helped out on the Friary stall - there was enough money for a treat! We try to invest in fun places where we can, and this time it was Harry, Harvey, Archie, Marcus, Thomas and Edward who all made their promises and joined Friary Cubs and the World Wide Family of Scouting! Proud parents watched (and some helped with holding ropes - just itching to join in).

A parish community is a very special place where people come together to live out their faith initiated at Baptism, to receive the Sacraments, to have a deeper awareness of what their faith means in their lives and live out the Gospel message of Christ. As a parish family, together with the priest we share in the joys and sorrows of life and hopefully support each other when difficulties arise. This parish from its humble beginnings has built up a rich tapestry of faith which has influenced the wider village community in many ways. The following pages give us glimpse of parish life in days gone by and the people past and present who have made such a valuable contribution to its mission. I would like to pay tribute to all the fine priests that have served this parish and have gone before us. Their hard work and dedication has been outstanding. May the Lord reward these good and faithful servants.

When I first learned of the founding of the Catholic Archives Society I felt a sense of deep relief, as many must have done. Every now and then one had heard of the irreparable loss of Catholic documents and wondered what future generations would think of us for allowing such things to happen. Mgr. Philip Hughes once stated that more than one third of the Catholic papers listed in the last century by the Historical Manuscripts Commission had been lost by the time he became archivist at Westminster. Lately, indeed, something has been done to avert further losses. The valuable papers of the Old Brotherhood still remaining have been gathered and bound and deposited for safe-keeping. A number of dioceses are now placing their records on permanent loan in county record offices established since the last war.

God has loved Fr Mike Maguire Assistant Priest us so much that in our fallen humanity He has rescued us Sharon Bowden Administrator from what makes us miserable in sin, suffering and death and Mike Guthrie Seminarian so transformed us in the death and Resurrection of Jesus that Fr Michael writes: He even calls us to share His own eternal joy. Today, What a wonderful conflation of richness and confluence of Pentecost, is the birthday of the Church when the same Holy grace and glory today, 31st May, presents. Principally it is Spirit Who, in the words of the Creed, “proceeds from the Pentecost, of course, the birthday of the Church, the celestial Father and the Son”, is given to us to make us alive together and divine fruit of the Paschal Mystery of the Passion, death in Christ. We become “one Body, one Spirit in Christ” as and Resurrection of Jesus, Son of God, Word made flesh. the Eucharistic Prayer teaches us also in Mass. Little wonder But today, too, has an echo of the Feast which 31st May then that we should celebrate and even dance with the angels usually is, the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St with whom we rejoice now on earth and will do so forever Elizabeth.

  • Local History 2015
    LOCAL HISTORY 2015 JANUARY 2015: THE NOTTINGHAM RIOTS We explored the topic: Nottingham Riots! Or as one writer put it - "We really don't like being told what to do". Nottingham has a long history of rebellion. It is more than likely that Notts people took part in the Peasant's Revolt of 1381. The forests (the greenwood) were the hideout of outlaws - criminals, professional poachers, landless labourers and unemployed soldiers discharged from the French wars. Although later balladeers placed Robin Hood over 150 years earlier in the reign of Richard 1 and Prince John, the first stories actually evolved within living memory of the Peasant's Revolt. From Lollards to Diggers (the True Levellers), and through supporting the Parliamentarians during the Civil War, Nottingham gradually gained a reputation for radical thought and riotous behaviour. But it was during the 18th and 19th centuries with the town authorities in favour of reform, that riots became almost an annual event. As the Industrial Revolution gained pace, Nottingham became overcrowded and living conditions were squalid. Wages were low and there was intense poverty. Have you heard about the Great Cheese Riot in 1766? Large cheeses were snatched at the Goose Fair and rolled away, bowling over the Mayor in the process! From 1779 the Notts framework knitters began to rebel, culminating in the Luddites from 1811 to 1816 smashing hundreds of frames in the area. There were often daily marches through the city pleading for bread. Military intervention throughout led to many deaths and severe woundings. Then of course came the Big One - after the failure of the Reform Bill in 1831, 9000 city residents trashed Colwick Hall and burned down Nottingham Castle (or more accurately the manor house of the hated 4th Duke of Newcastle) and a silk mill in Beeston.
