CELEBRATING PLATINUM JUBILEE: VILLAGE PLANS
Misterton Parish Council’s events working group is finalising plans for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend of celebration in June. Further details will be in the next issue of the Parish Council’s newsletter (out in late April) and on the Parish Council’s Facebook page and noticeboards. There will be events on each day from Thursday to Sunday, mirroring what is happening at national level.
BOWLS CLUB
Misterton Bowls Club had a successful fundraising event (Friday 11 March) when it was eyes down in a packed hall for an evening of bingo. The Club raised £350, which will help with the maintenance and upkeep of the green.
l The Bowls Club has an open day on Saturday 23 April from 2.00 to 4.00pm when there’s a chance to find out more about this popular sport for all ages. Just turn up -
no experience or equipment is necessary but please wear flat shoes. There are no age restrictions either. As a non-contact sport, children often play with parents or even grandparents. So come along to the open day and find out more!
SUPPORT FOR ARMED SERVICES
Misterton Parish Council has renewed its commitment to serving and former forces personnel by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. Bassetlaw District Council has a guide to the services it provides for veterans, available from the Armed Forces Champion, Cllr Tony Eaton (tony.eaton@bassetlaw.gov.uk).
BASSETLAW ACTION CENTRE: SERVICES OPEN
Bassetlaw Action Centre’s office is open for enquiries from 9.00am to 1.00pm (with an answerphone outside of these times). BAC is continuing to provide:
- community transport for essential journeys – health appointments and shopping, for example
- Befriending and Housing Advice services, which are telephone-based
- the Staying Well Programme (6-week self-management course for people with a long-term condition) will be delivered through Zoom
- the Get Out Get Active (GOGA) service encourages people to become more active and will continue to offer one-to-one support (but no group activities, unfortunately – they are temporarily suspended)
- Home Support service – a domiciliary service to help people who are just starting to struggle at home (this is a paid-for service).
BAC would like to hear from anyone with a few hours to spare, who would like to volunteer to support the Action Centre to deliver essential services to local older and vulnerable people.
BAC’s priority is to stop the spread of the virus and to encourage people to stay at home, wherever possible. Staff encourage anyone needing any help or at risk of social isolation to contact them on 01777 709650 or by e-mail (enquiries@actioncentre.org.uk) as they are working with a range of key partners to provide help and support where needed. Further information can be found on the website: www.bassetlawactioncentre.org.uk.
