Kingscote Parish Council is running a First Aid Course to be held in the Village Hall on either:

Monday 11^th or Tuesday 12^th April 2016

9.30 am – 12.30 pm

The course is aimed at those wanting to learn the basics or provide a refresher for those who are ‘out of date’. Depending on demand there may be a chance to top this course up to a recognised qualification ‘’FIRST AID AT WORK’’ by doing Part II at a later date.

COST:              KPC Residents                         £11      (Subsidized by K.PC.)

                        Non Residents                           £21

Please contact: Anna Davison on 01453 860244 or adavisonphysio@aol.com. Depending on feedback, the most popular day will be chosen. Places will be limited and reservations must be made in advance.

Please be aware that, on Sunday 6th March 2016, the Golden Valley Classic Motorcycle Club intends to hold an event for Solo and Combination motorcycles that will pass through your Parish. This is NOT a speed event, only a portion of a single lap route linking various sections on private land. Your indulgence and co-operation in this matter would be much appreciated.

It is intended that the event will be run in the same direction to last year using a virtually identical route.

Should you have a specific problem that you wish to discuss with regard to this event, please contact the Route Liason Officer, listed below.

• The A.M.C.A.

Clean for the Queen – and win £1,000 for your community! 

In the run up to The Queen’s 90^th birthday on 21 April 2016, Keep Britain Tidy is urging millions of people to pick up litter and improve the appearance of the places where they live. Cotswold District Council wants to take this initiative one step further and – thanks to the generosity of its waste service provider Ubico Ltd – is offering a prize of £1,000 to the community that does the best job.

From now until the end of March, communities across the District will be able to enter the Council’s £1,000 prize competition.  Applying to enter couldn’t be simpler – just email cdc@cotswold.gov.uk or call 01285 623123 and provide the location scheduled for a litter pick, together with the name of a community representative who is willing to liaise with the Council.  We will expect that person to take ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs of the area being tidied. It would also be useful if we could have details about the size of the work party.  When the competition concludes, the representative should be prepared to meet a panel of CDC judges at the clean-up location to assist them in assessing the improvements.

Cllr Sue Coakley, CDC Cabinet Member for Health, Environment and Communities, hopes that local groups across the District will take up this challenge:

“We live in an extremely beautiful area and many residents take great pride in its appearance. This national campaign provides an excellent opportunity for them to get outdoors in the Spring weather and help rid the Cotswolds of unsightly litter.  The award of the £1,000 prize is an added incentive, but I think every volunteer will be a winner if they can help tackle this blight on our environment.

“We can supply bags, pickers, gloves and high visibility jackets for clean-up work, but it would be of real benefit to our environmental team if we could stagger the take-up over the next few weeks, as we have limited resources.  We can also arrange special collections of filled bags after litter picks. Please call 01285 623123 if you require this assistance.

“I should add that the winning group will be required to spend the prize money on improving or maintaining the appearance of their community.”

As I am moving, I would like to find a ‘good home’ for my piano.  Moore & Moore, bought from Harrods in the 1950s, has a lovely tone, and has been kept well tuned.
