Parish Council News This is the last note from the current

Parish Council, the elections for the

new council will be held on the 8th

May and we sincerely hope that you

will exercise your democratic right

and vote.

The last quarter has seen active con­

sultation between the Parish Council

and the Community Enterprise Agency

with regard to several schemes. Their

assistance is being sought on the

following projects:- Vicar's Wood ­

ecological enhancement and footway

improvement; Children's equipment ­

maintenance; Landscaping; Pavilion

Extension and Tennis Court construc­

tion at Mulsanne Park. The Community

Enterprise Agency is managed by Lin­

colnshire County Council and its

objective is to provide employment

for the unemployed and thereby, hope­fully, to assist them in finding full

time employment.

We are pleased to report that agreement

has been reached with the Chief Con­stable on the provision, by the Parish

Council, of a seat close to the lake in

the Police Headquarters site. The

grounds are now maturing and becoming

an increasing environmental asset to

the village.

No date has yet been announced for the

Planning Appeal Public Hearing for the

proposed development of Scothern Lane.

We shall inform you as soon as it is

known. Edward Leigh, M.P. has now

registered his opposition to the pro­

posals with the Department of the

Environment. We were pleased to hear

recently that the Inspector has con­

firmed the County Council's proposal,

supported by the Parish Council, for

rationalisation of fieldpath FP148 and

bridleway BW147.

Oil exploration in Lincolnshire, and

particularly in and around Nettleham,

will be the feature of the Parish

Council A.G.M. on Wednesday, 2nd April

at 7.30 pm at Mulsanne Park. A B.P.

engineer will be giving an illustrated

talk and you are invited to attend and

participate in the meeting. If you

have always wondered what has been

going on and what the future is for

the area then here is an opportunity

to find out.

Finally, a Rate Precept of £17,402 for

1986/87 was agreed at the January

meeting, this represents an increase

of 6.8% on the anticipated expenditure

for 1985/86. The product of a 1p rate

in Nettleham is now £3,902 making the

rate demand for parish expenditure a

very small element in the total rate

demand. All the parish precept is,

of course, spent in our village.

The Parish Council wish to compile a

list of persons residing in the

Village who would be willing to

undertake, from time to time, small

jobs of work usually categorised as

maintenance for which payment will

be made. Any persons interested are

invited to write to the Clerk of the

Parish Council at 10, The Crescent.

Elections Just as spring arrives in March, so do Council elections in May. So, follow­

ing the tips on what to do in the

garden in spring, perhaps a few tips on

what to expect in the Polling Station

in May would not be out of place.

With the new Electoral Registers for

the period 16th February 1986 to 15th

February 1987 now in Post Offices and

Libraries, it is advisable to check

that your name, and that of any other

eligible member of your household, is

recorded. No record, no vote. If you

are not listed, contact the Electoral

Registration Officer at the Guildhall,

Gainsborough. Before an election,

polling cards are sent through the post

to each name on the Register; however,

snags do occur and some cards do not

arrive before polling day. The absence of a card does not mean you cannot vote.

The polling clerk on polling day will check your name against the Register

and, if you are listed, you can vote.

The Register for Nettleham includes

Riseholme and Grange-de-Lings and the

two polling stations are in the Church

Rooms. If, however, you remember that

the Register from All Saints Lane to

Lincoln Road is station No.1 and Lodge

Lane to Wragby Road, ali Riseholme and

Grange-de-Lings are station No.2, then

you will not be confused.

By the way, PLEASE make sure you return your marked paper to the station you obtained it from. Putting station No.1 papers in No.2's box can upset the counting and delay the result.

This is also the year for Parish Coun­cil elections, provided there are enough residents with an interest in village affairs to want to stand for election. Voting papers of a different colour are used for this election which is carried out at the same time.

If you wish to stand as a candidate at either the Parish or District Council Elections you should obtain a NOMINA­TION PAPER from the Chief Executive, West Lindsey District Council. This must be completed, including a proposer

and seconder, and returned to West Lindsey by Tuesday, 8th April next.

Polling in both Parish and District Council Elections will take place on the 8th May next, always assuming there are more candidates than seats avail­able. The counting of votes will take place the same evening.

If you are likely to be away on holiday on the 8th May or illness prevents you getting to the Polling Station you may apply for a Postal Vote - but only for the District Council Election, not for the Parish Council Election. Apply to the E 1 ectoral R eg is·t rat ion 0 fficer at the Guildhall, Gainsborough, at least by Friday 18th April. You will receive your Postal Vote through the post be­fore Polling Day and it must be return­ed to arrive by at least the 8th May.

to exploit every possible corner of our

world.

With more than 250,000 species, it is

the largest of insect orders and of these, over 4000 may be found in Britain, although because of their mainly nocturnal habits, we seldom

glimpse them, except when they are

disturbed from under stones and similar

resting places.

They are remarkable in their ability to

survive in very hostile environments, their hard body covering or cuticle

offering excellent protection against

predators, injury and dessication.

And if for some reason it should become

necessary to move some distance, most

beetles can and do fly, their hard, shiny wing cases or elytra, hingeing out to reveal delicately-folded mem­branous wings which carry the insect to

a new location.

You may occasionally hear one hit your

window pane on a summer's night, as

beetles like moths, are attracted towards the light in our rooms. Or

perhaps at dusk, on a warm, still evening, you may hear the slow buzzing

flight of the Cockchafer, which sounds

rather alarming, but in fact, is quite

harmless.

Harmless to us that is, but unfortun­

ately this beetle is responsible for

considerable damage to trees and crops, and its larva is even more destructive,

living und�rground for three or four

years and consuming plant roots -

particularly cereals and grasses.

This is not the only destructive larva; there are several species which quietly

munch away and over the years do con­

siderable damage to timber, stored

grain, fruit, vegetables, fabrics,

carpets etc.

In recent years, we have all become only too well aware of the havoc which

can be caused to living wood by an

insect in the form of the Elm Bark

Beetle, which has decimated these

magnificent trees, the length and

breadth of Britain, and down the cen­

turies, the huge timbers of our great

cathedrals and churches have often fallen victim to the infamous Death Watch Beetle.

On the credit side, many beetles are our allies in combating other insect pests. Perhaps the best example is the Ladybird which consumes great quanti­ties of sap-sucking aphids, and whose familiar red and black livery is a wel­come sight in any garden.

Unfortunately, beetles, like so many of our insects, appear to be declining in

numbers, and are becoming somewhat local in their distribution. Many are still common, particularly the ground

beetles - those black ones that scurry to hide when you disturb them in the

garden, but others, including Violet

Ground Beetles, Tiger Beetles, Longhorn Beetles and Sexton Beetles, are now seldom seen.

You are also now fortunate to see

Britain's largest beetle - the Stag Beetle, the male of which sports a pair of fearsome-looking 'antlers' which are only for display and incapable of

inflicting a wound.

The same cannot be said, however, of the Great Diving Beetle, which may

occasiona�ly be found inhabiting ponds

and which can give a painful bite to an unwary finger.

Another beetle which may nip you, if

provoked, is the Devil Coach Horse, which is easy to identify should you

come across it in your garden. It is

completely jet black, but somewhat

unusual for a beetle, in having an elongated soft body which it curves over its head in a menacing scorpion­like manner when threatened.

One beetle I would very much like to see but so far have been unable to, is the Glow-Worm. Despite the mis­

leading name, this is a true beetle, and one reads that a hedge bank full

of these creatures at dusk is really a sight worth seeing. Are there any

still remaining in Lincolnshire, I wonder?

Nettleham Twinning Committee Early in August last year 50 of us from

Nettleham departed from the village for

a two week exchange holiday in Mulsanne.

Mulsanne, for those who have not had

the pleasure, is a village a couple of miles south of Le Man in North West

France, very similar to Lincoln and

Nettleham, with an old village centre

and lots of new housing.

We had a fantastic time, we visited Paris on both the outward and homeward journey and had a full day there which

included a trip down the Seine. Other

items on the itinerary included visits to a couple of Chateaus, local craft centres and lakeside lidos. The final fling was a grand Fancy nress Party in the village hall, complete with speeches from the two chairmen, trans­lated for the benefit of the masses.

We had a very long slow journey home, due mainly to the fact that the coach was somewhat overladen with duty free

beer, wine, cheese etc. and farewell

presents.

So it's 1986 and our turn once again to

host the French visitors in August ( 3rd

- 17th ) . We expect as many as 60 so we

are all hard at work organising fund raising etc. to help out with the pro­

gramme. Lots of events are taking

place, we have already had a Teenage Disco and Snooker trip to Wembley, both very successfully. Yet to come is a

Jazz Night at the village hall, a

jumble sale at Blenkin Hall, Lincoln, and on a regular basis we are to coll­ect waste newspapers, magazines, etc. If you haven't received a note through the door please contact one of the

committeR members, who will be only too pleased to arrange same.

We plan to take our visitors to the

Robin Hood Centre, Sherwood Forest, Nottingham City, shopping, Butlins at Skegness and challenge them to Ten Pin bowling at Washingborough. No doubt the usual in village activities will take place, barbeques and, of course, the "It's a knock off" night across the beck and afterwards in the local to dry off. It is intended to finish

with a "Bon Voyage" party night at the

Four Seasons.

I am sure I speak for all of the

twinners in saying we look forward to welcoming our friends to Nettleham.

Nigel at the Double Former Cherry Willingham pupil Nigel Gilbert now an army apprentice in the

Royal Engineers has topped the class in his intake. Seventeen year old Nigel of Brookfield Avenue, Nettleham, was chosen as the outstanding apprentice

from a total of seventy-twg in his

company, winning the Topper Trophy as a result.

This after a gruelling eight week course at Chepstow which took in a

wide variety of activities including

Field Crafts, Drill, Shooting, �aps and Compass adventure training and sports.

This was part one of a three part training exercise spread over two years.

Nigel will eventually move on to New­

bury for parts two and three.

He joined the Royal Engineers in Sep­tember 1985 after spending several years in the Lincoln Army Cadet Force. It was during this time that he learned

and developed the skills that earned him the title of top apprentice, although he was competing against

others who had also served in Cadet

Forces.

Another honour to come Nigel's way was

his promotion to lance-corporal. This

was partially because of his success as

top apprentice, but he was also pro­moted from his platoon, suggesting that apart from practical skills the Army recognised personal qualities of leadership and ability to take respons­ibility.

Nigel hopes eventually

to become a fully qualified Cartographic

Survey Technician,

concerned mainly with the making and production of maps. He hopes to sign for

a nine year term in the Army when he is eighteen in December.

We hope that the rest

of his army career

wi:.l be similarly highlighted by such

outstanding success.

Your Garden in Spring Vegetables March

Sow with heat - celery, peppers and tomatoes

Sow under cloches - cauliflower, carrots, leeks and lettuce. (Make sure soil is warm first or seeds will only rot.)

Plant and sow in open (only if soil is warm) - beetroot, broad beans, sprouts, onion sets and shallots, parsnips, peas and early potatoes. Feed spring greens with high nitrogen

fertilizer.

April

Sow under cloches - french and runner beans, mzrrows plus last month'slist.

Plant snd sow in open - last month's list, plus onions, parsley, leeks, broccoli, cabbages and early potatoes followed by main crop.

Plant out - greens, sprouts, caulis and lettuces. Hoe and keep seed bed free of weeds.

Sow in open - runner beans, more beet­root, carrots, pickling onions, spinach, swedes, cucumbers and marrows

lf_� plant out - tomatoes, cucumbers and runner beans. ready to protect these from frosts.

marrows, Be

late

Cover and earth up potatoes as soon as shoots are seen. Watch out for pests and keep hoe going - weeds can soon take over a plot.

Trees & Shrubs March

Prune bush and standard roses. Remove dead, diseased and crossing branches. Cut the remaining shoots back to approx. 6 growth buds. Making a gently sloping cut above an outward pointing bud.

Check tree ties are secure so they don't break loose if spring gales prevail.

Move trees and shrubs which have been planted in the wrong place before the buds break. Make sure you dig up plenty of root.

Prune clematis of the Jackmaii type and others that flower on the new wood. Buddleia davidii, leaf­shedding hedges, late summer, autumn and winter flowering shrubs that have now finished blooming. Cut hard back shoots of dogwoods and willows which are grown for their winter stem colour.

FRUIT - Watch out for aphids and cater­pillars on all fruit and spray if nec­essary. With pears do this before flowering. Feed pears, weak apples and currants with a nitrogen fertiliser.

Finish planting bare rooted plants early in the month if ground conditions are D.K.

Spray raspberries with a copper spray at bud burst to control canker.

April

Prune spring flowering shrubs immedi­ately after flowering. This will encourage plenty of new shoots to flower next year.

Start feeding roses with rose fertilise� Roses are a very greedy feeder and need feeding well to ensure they carry a good crop of flowers all summer. Mulching with organic matter such as farmyard manure, the traditional material for roses, peat or garden compost will help keep the roots moist.

Plant containers with slow growing shrubs for an interesting display this summer.

Dwarf maples, euonymus, ivies, heathers, rhododendrons, camellias, fuchsias (hardy) and any other shrubs which are not too vigorous will be quite happy in tubs and urns.

Cut down hardy fuchsias to ground level to promote strong flowering growth.

Check new growth for attack from aphids, capsids and other pests and spray at once if necessary.

SPRAYS - To help control mildew, black­

spot and rust try Murphy Systemic Fung­

icide, Tumbleblite, Benelate, Nimrod T.

To help control and kill green fly, white fly, black fly, red spider, mealy

bug, scale insects, leaf hoppers, cap­

sid bug, woolly aphids try Murphy Sys­

temic Insecticide, Sybol 2, Tumblebug,

Malathion liquid, Malathion dust.

When spraying add a very small drop of

washing-up liquid, this helps your spray

stick to the foliage.

Cut out deadwood and prune flowering

cherries and most other deciduous kinds

to shape and to preve�t overcrowding if necessary. Check stakes and ties. Feed, mulch and keep watered weak grow­ing established trees and those planted during the winter.

Evergreen trees and shrubs can be planted from containers, again water thoroughly and put mulch over the roots, shield from the sun and spray top growth fairly frequently with water.

Climbers that have finished flowering this month should also have their old flower stems cut out. Continue to tie in other climbers and shrubs treated as climbers to their supports as necessary.

Clip hedges, such as privet from now as necessary.

Regularly spray with insecticide against pests, particularly greenfly, blackfly and red spider.

ROSES - Keep fed, mulched, watered. Strip suckers from rootstocks. Control blackspot, mildew, aphids and cater­pillars by spraying with Benlate+ Activex, Nimrod T, Tumbleblite etc.

Where roses were late pruned, because of hard frosts during April and are slow to come into leaf, give them a boost by spraying with half-strength, high-nitrogen liquid fertiliser such as Chempak No.2.

flowers March

General: At the end of this severe

weather it will behove us to get out

and do as much as the conditions will

allow. Complete the digging and prep-

aration of ground needed for bedding out and the sowing of hardy annuals.

Herbaceous borders: Remove any remain­

ing dead stems and leaves. Apply a

general fertiliser such as Growmore 01

the more expensive Q4 Vitae which has

the advantages of being longer lasting

and containing less nitrogen than Grow­more. Lightly fork in.

Sprinkle slug pellets around vulnerable

plants such as hostas, delphinium and

lupin.

It is not too late to propagate by �oot

division and cuttings can be taken from delphiniums, michaelmas daisies and

heleniums, rooting in a peat and sand

mix and placing in a cold frame.

Summer flowering bulbs: Gladioli,

lilies and montbretia can be sown at the end of the month.

April

Weeds: Keep in check by hoeing on dry

days.

Herbaceous borders: After a good rain

when the soil is wet apply a mulch of

well rotted farmyard manure or garden

compost.

Reduce the number of shoots or clumps

of lupins, delphinium and phlox to six

or seven.

Seed sowing: Sow in a cold frame or

seed bed seeds of plants such as

acquilegia, campanula, achilea and

evigeron for transplanting to a nursery bed and planting out in late autumn.

Sow hardy annuals in their flowering

positions for thinning out later.

Sweet Peas: Plant out provided they have been hardened off.

Dahlias: Plant out dormant tubers but

delay putting out cuttings or seedlings

until the danger of frost is passed.

Rock Garden: Clip back early flowering

plants such as arabis, aubretia, dead

head others as required. Keep clear of weeds.

Herbaceous borders: Stake and support

tall growing plants. Plant out well

rooted cuttings taken earlier in the

year.

Hanging baskets: Prepare and plant up but do not put out if tender plants have been used.

Summer bedding: Weed and prepare vacant ground. As spring bedding

plants fade or the room is required for summer bedding, lift and discard such plants as wallflowers but lift bulbs and bed in a spare piece of ground.

Fork over the ground, apply a general fertiliser, tread down and rake over.

Bedding plants should be gradually

hardened off ready for planting out at

the end of the month or early June.

Jiennials: Canterbury Bells, forget­me-nots, sweet william, polyanthus -sow in a seed bed or seed trays.

Greenhouse

P1arch

Warning: Although it may be freezing outside, during sunny periods the temperature in a greenhouse can rapidly

0 soar up to 80 F, equally when the sun

disappears during storms and showers it can fall just as rapidly, so that fre­quent adjustment of the ventilation is

required. This is when automatic vent­ilators are a godsend.

Chrysanthemums: Put rooted cuttings

into 3 � inch pots and place in a cold frame later in the month. If more plants are required cuttings can still be taken.

Bedding plants: Sow seeds of antirrh­

inums, lobelia and fibrous rooted be­gonias. Seeds of quicker growing varieties can be delayed for two or three weeks. Prick out seedlings when true leaves start to form.

Note: When pr1cking out mixed variet­ies use some of the weaker looking seedlings as well as the stronger ones, otherwise a full selection may not be achieved.

Tomatoes: Make a further sowing and pot on plants from the earlier sowing. A minimum temperature of 55

°F is

required.

Pelargoniums ( Regal and Zonal ) : Pot on rooted cuttings and stop to form bushy

plants. Take more cuttings from estab­

lished plants as new growth appears.

Dormant pot plants: Fuchsias, pelar­goniums etc. start into growth by

watering and spraying over on sunny days. Tuberous plants such as begonias, gloxinias and dahlias should also be started into growth.

April

General: As the days grow longer and warmer increase ventilation and water­ing. Damp down in the mornings on sunny days. Shade seedlings, cuttings

and tender plants which are liable to be scorched by the sun. A sheet of

newspaper or net curtaining will be sufficient.

Winter flowering bulbs and corms: freesias, dwarf irises, crocuses etc. gradually dry off as the foliage withers and rest cyclamen.

Bedding plants: Continue pricking out and sow quick growing annuals such as alyssum, aster, balsam busy lizzie

and tagetes.

Tomatoes: Plant out and maintain a

minimum temperature of 55°

F, also sweet peppers and aubergines.

Melons and cucumbers: Sow seeds towards the end of the month.

Perpetual carnations: Pot on into 3� inch pots using John Innes No.2 or Cal Vel Universal Compost. Stop when 9

pairs of leaves have formed by removing the growing tip completely at the sixth or seventh leaf joint.

Bedding plants: Prick out late sown varieties and gradually harden off established plants, but take precaut­ions if frost threatens.

Chrysanthemums: Plant outdoor var­ieties, stake and stop them later in the month. Indoor varieties should now be in 4 or 5 inch pots and towards the end of the month make final potting into B! inch pots using John Innes No.3 compost and firming very hard. Stake and stand out of doors. Stopping is best carried out in accordance with instructions from the catalogue.

Tomatoes: Plant out if not already done. Established plants - remove side shoots and assist by vibrating the

plants and lightly spraying with water around midday. When first fruits have

set commence feeding with a liquid

tomato fertiliser or Chempak No.9 (High

Potash ) .

Cucumbers and �elons: Plant out in

fruiting position.

Perpetual carnations: Towards the end

of the month, when fully rooted in

their 3 ! inch pots, pot on into final

pots (6 or 7 inch ) using John Innes

No.3 compost, firming very hard.

Mortar rubble mixed into the compost

will be most beneficial. Support with

a four foot cane and stop some of the

side shoots when about 7 inches long. During the summer months the plants can

be stood out in a sunny spot.

Winter flowering pot plants: Sow seeds

of cinerarias, primulas, calceolarias,

etc.

Pests: During the whole quarter keep a

close look out for pests such as green

fly, white fly and red spider. Spray

thoroughly with a proprietary spray

such as Tumblebug or abol x especially under the leaves. Damping down and

spraying regularly with water will help

to deter red spider.

30 SUDBROOKE LANE NETTLE HAM

.... LINCOLN 750536

Don't let them get awcry with it! Recently a spate of house burglaries

has occured in Sudbrooke, which has

given the police cause for concern. In

most instances the initial approach to

the premises has been from the rear,

and entries have been made by forcing

patio doors and windows. Last year in

the Nettleham beat area 45 house burg­

laries occured, that is an average of

�early one burglary per week, and it is

evident that this offence is on the

increase.

You might say: "What can I do about

it?". The answer is quite a lot.

Firstly take a look at your own prop­

erty and decide where it is most vul­

nerable. Two-thirds of all burglaries

take place through windows. Window

locks are available for most types of

windows including windows with metal

frames. They are not expensive around

£3 to £4 each. If you cannot afford to

fit them all round decide which windows

are a priority and protect those.

Patio doors are a favourite with the

potential burglar and it is advisable

to fit special security locks at the

top and bottom. These cost from around

£6 each.

It is essential for your main exit door

to be fitted with a security deadlock.

This is a lock that can only be opened

or closed with a key. There are two

main types, mortice and rim locks,

depending on the thickness of the door.

Rear doors should be fitted with security deadbolts top and bottom.

Leaflets are available from shops in

the village based on the Magpie

campaign.

Property marking is very important on

your valuables. Easy to use security

marker pens are available from local

stationers price around £1.50. Code

mark your property using your post-code

followed by the number of your house or

flat. A 'Coded for KEEPS' leaflet is

available from your village police

station.

Finally with Easter looming up many of

you will be going away, please leave

your property secure and if possible

arrange for a neighbour to keep an eye

on it. Please inform your local police

as well.

World Championships for Nettleham Canoeist Canoeing is an activity which doesn't

attract the publicity usually reserved

for other more glamorous sports - at

least not in Lincolnshire. To discover

that Nettleham has in its midst a young

man fast making a name for himself in

international canoeing is news indeed.

Twenty one year old Peter Evans of

Sudbrooke Lane has just gained a place

in the British Olympic Training Squad

visiting Montreal in August to take

part in the World Championships. Peter

will be one of a squad of twenty.

Good performances in these and the 19B7

Championships will hopefully lead to

full selection for the Olympic Games to

be held in Seoul in 19B8. A former

William Farr pupil Peter began canoeing

at the age of thirteen and at first did

not take to it. With encouragement and

a few early successes his talent became

recognised and he began to take it

seriously.

He is a member of the Lincoln Club and

coached by former Olympic canoeist

Lawrence Dliver. Success in regattas

up and down the country, notably at

Holme Pierrepoint, Nottingham, has led

to Peter becoming one of the top

canoeists in Britain over distances of

1000 and 5000 metres. He has repre­

sented Britain on ten occasions in

international competition with out­

standing success. 1982 and 1983 were

important years for him. Against

Holland he was a member of teams which

came third in the doubles and third in

the fours. Also against Holland Peter

was in the winning fours and doubles

over 1000 and 500 metres. Against

Germany the same year his team finished

third over 1000 metres.

In 1983 Peter was a member of the

doubles team that finished fourth in

the semi-finals and sixth out of thirty

five countries in the fours. This was

at Bydgoszcz in Poland. The latter

being a very significant achievement because it created a new British

record, sixth being the best ever

position achieved by a British team in

the fours over a 1000 metres at either

Junior or Senior level.

The British Championships have been a

happy hunting ground for Peter. In

1978 he was singles champion over 250

metres and 1980 saw him as singles

champion over 500 metres and a member

of the successful fours over 6000 and

500 metres.

Peter was in devastating form in the 19B2 British Junior Championships. He

was a winner in four events, second in

two and third in a further two.

All this success has not come easy and

the hard slog of training has to be endured. The additional task of earn­

ing a living does not help, but as a

free-lance salesman Peter can at least

organise training around work. His

schedule is one that most athletes

would shy away from. It comprises

water, land and gym work. At least

four hours a day six days a week is

spent on water. Land work includes at

least fifty miles of running each week

with sixteen miles covered on the canoe

machine.

Gym work keeps muscles toned and

supple. All this goes on for around

five months of the year. The hard

work is paying off however. Peter and

his partner are one of the top three

doubles teams in the country and he is

ranked twelve in the British Training

Squad. The final Olympic Squad will be

whittled down from twenty to fifteen -

therefore Peter is in a good position to be selected.

His success is all the more remarkable

because it has been achieved against the background of earning a living,

something that most European athletes

don't have to do. Sponsorships are

very important and Peter is currently

looking for support in this direction.

Some form of sponsorship should not be hard to find for our champion sportsman.

I'm sure everyone in Nettleham wishes

Peter well in Montreal and selection

for the Olympics in 1988.

RMO with SCF Mark Vase of The Crescent who is now in his fifth and final. year at The Royal Free School of Medicine, London, has recently returned from a visit to Bang­ladesh where he worked as a volunteer with Save the Children Fund (S.C.F.).

He flew out by Aeroflott through Russia, Pakistan and India to Bangladesh, to work at the Child Nutrition Unit in Dhaka. The unit started as an emer­gency centre for the victims of the 1974 storm disaster, and is now an internationally recognised centre for the prevention and treatment of child malnutrition. Mark spent the first four weeks familiarizing himself with the management of Asian disease patt­erns and treatment of children with illnesses associated with malnutrition. The unit draws its patients from the slums of Dhaka using both in and out patient facilities to care for these children, and provides their mothers with health and nutrition education, ante-natal care, and family planning advice. The unit also provides routine immunisation, T.B. follow up clinics and a community based service.

The out-patient department being staffed with S.C.F. trained paramedics and a duty doctor, was opened six days a week and saw on average 210 patients a day. The in-patient department is a 60 bed unit for the intensive care and recovery of severly malnourished children.

During his stay in Dhaka Mark found the local people very friendly and kind, they desperately wanted to know all they could about the British way of life. He was invited to the home of one of the Bangladeshi doctors to attend a family engagement party.

After four weeks he journeyed to the River Project to take up the post of Resident Medical Officer (R.M.D.) for another four weeks. This was a long journey by train culminating in a three hour walk or rickshaw ride from the station to the River Project He�d Quarters.

The River Project was initially set up in the Northern part of Bangladesh in 1974/75 as part of a flood relief pro­gramme, using emergency feeding centres, since then it has expanded considerably and incorporates health education and family planning. Village committees

have been set up to encourage community participation. The project area lies on the Eastern bank of the Jamuna river. It is poor, relatively remote rural area with poor communication and low lying mostly sandy soil which is prone to seasonal flooding and erosion. Some 80,000 people live within the pro­ject area for them this is their only medical service, of these 50,000 receive regular home visits from the Projects twenty Village Health Workers (V.H.W.). The V.H.W. are all local people trained by S.C.F. They advise mothers on child care hygiene, nutrit­ion etc. Where necessary patients are referred to the local clinic.

There are six clinics within the Pro­ject area and are staffed by paramedics drawn from the local community who have been trained by qualified medical per­sonnel. The clinics were about eight miles apart connected by sand tracks and the R.M.D. had to travel by bicycl� but if he was lucky he returned by boat. Mark found this part of the job very exhausting. The complicated cases were referred to the R.M.D. who also super­vised the work of the paramedics and checked on their skills and performance. The visit usually ended with a formal teaching session. In addition the R.M.O. provides a twenty four hour emergency cover.

Cases beyond the means of the Project could be referred to the Medical College in Mymensing though it often proved difficult to persuade patients to attend this hospital because of the long hazardous journey involved.

Mark became very friendly with Jaheed the Project Manager and all their spare time was spent developing projects of a technological nature. One of the things they built was a windmill to drive a car dynamo which will charge a battery. The lack of technology was so amazing that Jaheed asked Mark to pro­duce drawings of all they talked about so that he could build them in the future.

During his stay he visited the home of a paramedic, and his old father remark­ed how the world had changed, because forty years ago no British person would have visited his home, and whats more he would not have wanted him to, in fact he would have killed him, and to­day he welcomed him.

Eventually his stay came to an end and everyone was sad, they all hoped he would come back some day. He was taken

to the station by the camp guard and the rickshaw driver. When they got there they had to sit in a mud hut cafe for one and a half hours. An enormous crowd gathered round to stare at him, so the camp guard asked him to sing some English songs, the crowd thought this was brilliant, and asked for more and more songs, thank goodness for his scout campfire days, the time passed quickly with people buying cups of tea to keep him singing.

On his return to Dhaka he found that a flight to Nepal had been booked, so he was able to have a holiday before re­turning to the U.K.

Mark was very impressed with the way that the money provided by S.C.F. was administered. And was amazed at the awareness of the local organisers to how the money was raised in this coun­try, knowing that peop�e work very hard to raise this money. It was accepted by all the recipients that a great deal of time and effort went into raising this money.

Retirement

How often do we hear: "I'm so looking forward to retiring" or "I dread the day I must retire". For those who fear the time when they must give up work, thereby breaking a routine of many years, the following article, reproduced from "Rotary in Africa" should be of special interest.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF THE LIFE OF RETIREMENT

How well you kept the Ten Command­ments during your working life, only you can tell. On how you keep the Ten Commandments of the life of retirement will depend whether you make a success of it or not.

Here they are:

A NEW LIFE

The first Commandment: Retirement is the beginning of a new life. Do not view it as the end of the road.

Second: Keep physically fit and mentally alert. Set a daily routine and stick to it.

Third: Maintain your customary and neat appearance. A careless appear­ance leads to many other minor evils, laxity of conduct and sloven­liness.

BLANK DAYS

Fourth: No man retires alone. Show your gratitude to your family by being as helpful and companionable as you can. Your wife has reached the age when she also would like to relax a little more.

FORGET THE PAST

Seventh: Do not live in the past. The daily habit of reading the local newspaper and other publications alone can keep you abreast of the times. You have not retired from the world. Beware of the rocking chair.

Eighth: Do all things in moderation. Retirement with its leisure has its temptations. Do not eat too much. Do not drink too much. Do not smoke too much. Do not sleep too much. Do not exercise too much. Do not sit too much. Do not talk too much.

NEW FRIENDS

Ninth: Do things 'you never had time for'. You have not retired from the human race. Be active in community affairs, your Church, your hobbies and set about making new friends.

Tenth: Do not interfere with others. Many a man is tempted to re-visit his old stamping ground, his former shop or office or factory. Your old associates still like you, but they are busy with their own affairs. Do not rely on them. There are plenty of retired people who will welcome you

Fifth: Thou shall not covet that which thou canst not afford. Adjust yourself and your family to your budget. Do not fight it, do not resent it. Live within your means but do not become a miser.

Sixth: Tomorrow shall always be an important day in your retirement calendar. If you have too many blank tomorrow-days for which you have no plans - then your retirement will become dull and lifeless and no fun.

Criclzet Club With the winter now behind us and hopes of a fine summer to come our plans for the forthcoming cricket season are pro­gressing well.

Firstly, a look back to the happenings of 1 985. The Lincolnshire League side finished in fifth place of Division 3 and the Lincoln League side ended the campaign fourth in Division 1 , both positions confirming the progress being made on the field. The junior sides at U 1 3, U 1 6 and U 1 8 although not hitting the highlights performed creditably well and enjoyed fulfilling their fix­tures in the Reynolds Youth Leagues.

The Presentation Dinner Dance was held in November when trophies were pre­sented by Richard Allen, Chairman of the local Umpires Association, to the following players.

Seniors: Batting - John Platt Bowling - Charles Shaw All-rounder - David Ranshaw

Juniors: Batting - Alistair Plant Bowling - Neil McBride All-rounder - James Lunn

The spin bowling award went to Charles Shaw, the under 1 3 player of the year was Robert Perkins with two other trophies presented for services off the field going to Alistair Plant and Geof Clarke. The thanks of the club was expressed to the tea ladies, what would we do without them, and also to the

team managers involved in both junior and senior sides.

At the A.G.M. the following members were elected to office for the year:

Chairman Secretary Asst. Secretary Treasurer Captain V ice Captain

- John Dingley Geof Clarke

- David Helson - Andy Seymour - Charles Shaw - Alistair Plant

Members of the committee are Russell Creasey, John Platt, David Ranshaw and Andy Helson. The important job of arranging the fixtures is being under­taken once again by David Ranshaw.

Our new season begins on 20th April, weather permitting! and is followed by a fairly full programme until mid­September.

An invitation is extended to anyone in the village of Nettleham who is inter­ested in playing cricket. Our head­quarters is Mulsanne Park and a fixture booklet will be available shortly from any of the club officials. Should any­one be interested in being involved in running any of the junior sides they will be made very welcome.

Meanwhile as the oil soaks into the bats and the wicket begins to green up under the strengthening spring sunshine we look forward to a season of success.

.Microwave Cool<ing The microwave is a useful addition to the kitchen but it should not be con­sidered a replacement for the conven­tional cooker. The microwave brings a new concept to cooking and the user should be prepared to experiment and be adventurous in the use of it. It should be remembered that the microwave will do many extra jobs, e.g.sterilize face­cloths to help teenagers with spots, warm a basket of damp hand napkins to pass round after a "finger licking" meal, clean sauce bottles to the last drop to name but a few. Baby feeding becomes a pleasure because foods cooked in the microwave require very little salt.

This recipe is for a 650 microwave.

N.B. This dish can be easily made by conventional methods.

Recipe - Crispy Baked Chicken

8 ozs chicken pieces (leftovers ideal) 2-3 tinned tomatoes (fresh may be used) 1 pkt cheese and onion crisps Sauce - 1 oz flour, 1 oz margarine, ! pt milk, seasoning, 2-3 ozs red cheddar cheese

1 ) Place chicken pieces in suitable dish 2) Place tomatoes on top of chicken.

Season 3) Sprinkle on ! pkt crisps - crushed 4) Put flour, milk, marg and seasoning

into pyrex or plastic basin. Place in microwave on full power for 3! mins. Whisk every minute

5) Add grated cheese and mix well 6) Pour sauce over chicken in dish 7) Cook on re-heat for 3-4 mins 8) Sprinkle remaining crisps on top

and garnish with parsley
