The role provides individuals with the opportunity to develop and hone skills such as negotiation, influencing and teamwork. Governors are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable their school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children. School governors commit to attending governing body meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. They are also involved in the school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders. Volunteers need to be dedicated people who care about improving education, but they do not need prior board experience. It makes the role perfect for professionals looking to improve their business and leadership skills, give back to society and enhance children’s futures.

Beeston .. was always a sort of eyesore to us .. a wilderness of more or less squalid or vulgar little houses and mean shops .. a tolerably quiet sort of place and you rode or drove through it in a very few minutes.” These are the words of Catherine Mary Bearne written in the “Charlton Chronicles” circa 1860. How do you think the current Beeston (and district) compares and how do you think the Society is doing in meeting our objective of “ protecting and improving the environment ” ?

Please do take the time to complete it and hand your response to a member of the Committee. A summary will appear in the December edition of the newsletter.

  • Nottinghamshire Aviation Memorials
    Nottinghamshire Aviation Memorials Aviation | Aviation Memorials in Nottinghamshire We love to commemorate our aviation heritage. In Nottinghamshire We Love To Commemorate Our Aviation Heritage The diversity of aviation memorial locations across the county is impressive. These memorials are not just at airfield sites, but they can also be found in churches, village halls, on city streets and at remote countryside locations. Some memorials are relatively new, whilst others can trace their origins back Nottinghamshire decades. These memorials, some of them raised through public subscription, reflect the lives of national figures like Albert Ball VC; whilst others are simpler marks of respect that have been erected thanks to the efforts of small groups of individuals. There are even sculptures and pub signs that highlight the county’s contribution to the development of significant aviation technologies. Collectively they play a part in helping to commemorate the county’s aviation heritage. Many individuals had travelled from around the world to air bases in Aviation Memorials Aviation | Nottinghamshire to train as World War II bomber crews. A common bond that joins most of these memorials together is that they commemorate the lives of brave individuals who were lost whilst learning these new skills; often in difficult weather conditions, a long way from home and in a relatively congested airspace, caused by having a lot of airfields so close together. For each of the memorials listed we have provided some background information about the crews involved and the circumstances of the crash; this is merely a snapshot of incidents that are recorded in more detail in books and on websites and we would encourage you to investigate them further.

  • Serving the Communities of Giltbrook, Greasley, Moorgreen, Newthorpe & Watnall
    Serving the communities of Giltbrook, Greasley, Moorgreen, Newthorpe & Watnall 18th July 2014. Dear Mr Kingsley, Broxtowe Review Our Members were extremely disappointed to read the suggestions for Greasley put forward in the Review’s draft recommendations. They give the impression of surrounding communities trying to increase their own standing for political purposes at the expense of Greasley’s heritage. The Council has introduced a number of initiatives to strengthen the bonds between the five communities within the parish and as these initiatives continue to be increasingly popular we believe that the residents have spoken – “we want to stay as we are and live in Greasley.” The proposed changes do not recognise either the area’s tradition or its modern day allegiances. As we said in our earlier submission, at the very least every ward covering any part of the parish should have the name Greasley in its title. This is seen as essential to protect the parish’s identity. Whilst individual councillors have the right to their view on these matters we pay special attention to the collective view of the local Parish Council. We note the suggested Eastwood Hall re-naming but would say this is out of kilter with reality as all the residents in the Coach Drive - Brunel Avenue area are residents of Greasley, many with addresses shown as Newthorpe Grange. We also feel that the ad hoc tacking on off areas to bolster wards puts councillors in a potentially difficult situation of trying to represent the views of urban residents which are often at odds with those in rural communities.

  • Great Northern Railway Station
    Explore and discover some of Kimberley’s hidden heritage Kimberley is an ancient settlement dating back to before Domesday in 1086. Through much of its history the area was used for farming. However, major changes were to take place in the early 19th century. The discovery of coal and development of brewing and lace making brought the railways to Kimberley. In turn, the railways helped these industries to thrive and expand and creating jobs, leading to a big increase in population. Today, Kimberley is an attractive town with a mix of old and new. Part of the town is a ‘conservation area’ recognising the special architectural or historical interest of the area. The shopping facilities on offer include a small precinct and supermarket as well as a more traditional shopping area with independent shops and pubs, restaurants and cafés to suit all tastes. The Kimberley Heritage Trail will guide you through Kimberley town and beyond where you can explore and discover some of the interesting, but less obvious buildings and structures which are part of Kimberley’s hidden heritage The trail is made up of two short circular routes both starting from the same point, Toll Bar Square (see map on centre pages). Each route is approximately ¾ mile (just over a kilometre) long. The routes are mostly on pavements and surfaced paths. The route has several climbs (with gradients ranging from 1:14 to 1:8). There is one point on the route where access is restricted to 3ft (900mm) width (see map). The Start Starting at Toll Bar Square, cross Main Street (via the pedestrian crossing) and proceed up James Street.
