VILLAGE DANCE SCHOOL ON THE MOVE! (+ pix)
Everett Fox School of Dance (EFSD) is on the move! Proprietor, Tracey Everett Fox, has taken over the tenancy of the former Co-op shop on Misterton’s High Street – 120 years since it first opened. The photographs show the shop in November 1925 and Tracey in the new doorway.
With the lease on EFSD’s current studio due to end next year, Tracey needed to find a new home for EFSD. Now, the summer is being spent painting and decorating and installing a sprung floor, mirrors, and barres for pupils to use when the new studio is ready for young dancers later this year.
“Please support our new venture to help keep EFSD alive and prospering,” Tracey said. “We aim to give more back to our local community and hope to be bringing new classes and new offerings to the village.”

BASSETLAW ACTION CENTRE: UPDATE
Bassetlaw Action Centre (BAC) is continuing to provide:
- community transport for essential journeys – health appointments and shopping, for example
- housing advice services, which are telephone-based primarily but face-to-face appointments are also available
- a menu of Befriending services – including group befriending, telephone befriending, face to face and peer befriending
- the Staying Well Programme (6-week self-management course for people with a long-term condition) available both virtually and face to face
- Get Out Get Active (GOGA) service encourages people to become more active and will continue to offer one-to-one support

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.
