ROADWORKS AND TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE - MAIN ROAD, SHELFORD

Please see details below regarding the planned works and road closure by Servern Trent in Shelford:

MICK UNWIN

Sadly, on Friday 1st May, we learnt that Mick Unwin had passed away following a long illness.

Over the years Mick had played a huge part in our community serving as Chairman of the Parish Council, being an integral part of the Shelford Feast committee, organising the very successful bi-annual Street Market, and generally giving his heart and soul for the good of the village.

I’m sure you will all join in sending our condolences to Angela and their family, and giving our thanks for the impact Mick had on ourselves and our village.

CHURCH SERVICES

SHELFORD WI

As well as our monthly meetings, held usually on the first Thursday of each month at the Village Hall starting at 7.30pm, we enjoy a range of activities.  There’s fortnightly walking netball, energetic and great fun; darts, where we regularly feature among the cup winners; walks, either along local footpaths or following themed trails in Newark; and occasional “specials”.

In September it was the chance to learn steel pan drumming (huge concentration required but huge satisfaction) and in November it’s the opportunity to make our own Christmas wreaths using foliage brought from our gardens as well as festive additions.  Our speakers are invariably excellent.  October brought local girl Carole Fisher talking about her Farming Year, and in November it’s Stacy Woodward, Service Lead for Insight Healthcare, on “Improving the mental health and well-being of the people we serve”.  Singularly appropriate, since the WI’s project this year is to do with mental health.

All are welcome to our meetings.  Entrance is free for your first visit and there’s always tea, coffee, cake or biscuits.
