News Views Editorial
Hello, welcome back to the N&V Editorial. We are wondering just how many of you have
noticed the new theme to our editorial header we have adopted recently? That the ‘&’
of ‘News & Views’ changes to something topical each month, just a little touch we like to
add! This month it’s the Euro 2020 logo to coincide with our Euro 2020 theme. If you are
cheering on the Three Lions, The Red Dragon or the Rampant Lion, or any of the other
teams, be sure to pop into one of our locals and sink a few while doing so, all our local
pubs need our custom after lockdown and what better excuse do you need other than
cheering on the boys!
Have a gander at pages 19-21 for details on the Tournament, the Home Nation fixtures
and potential next round opponents.
The start of major tournaments, even with a limited number of fans, is a great sign that
we are starting to return to normality again, well, maybe a new normality at least. With
21st June being (at time of going to print) the date the Government are intending to lift all
restrictions, we’re crossing fingers, toes and every possible thing in the hope that there
are no delays. It will be great to start moving away from some of the most draconian
peacetime clampdowns on our freedoms, as necessary as they were, I’m sure each and
every one of us will be happy to see the back of them, although that does mean the Mother
in Law will have free reign to pop round as and when she pleases once more… Every rose
has its thorn I suppose…thank god the pubs are open again eh?! I’m joking of course, I
have a fantastic Mother in Law, although she frequently calls me her 3rd Favourite Son in
Law… despite only having two… Until next month…Keep safe! Laura & Pete

Caythorpe Primary School
National Gardening Week
We are so lucky at Caythorpe Primary School to have such stunning grounds. Mr Dewey does
a wonderful job of ensuring the field is cut and prepared for the children to play on.
A few weeks ago, it was National Gardening Week so we have been tidying other areas we
are fortunate to have, a sensory garden, a mini-allotment and a pond area.
Neverland had
fabulous fun tidying the
pond area as part of
National Gardening
Week. They worked
very hard clearing away
weeds and leaves. They
even found time to
plant a variety of beans
as part of their science
topic. I asked if they
were baked beans but they said they were runner and broad beans. Our sensory garden and
allotment garden have never looked tidier. We have plans to continue to develop these areas
to make them safe, purposeful learning spaces. Mrs Palmer is developing the Sensory Garden
with our school council in addition to other groups of children.
If you are planning a Spring clear out, before going to the tip, we are looking for the following;
Old metal pots and pans, Wooden spoons, Old buckets, Small garden ornaments, End tins of
outdoor/wood suitable paint, Old plastic piping & Bird feeders
If you have any left-over stones or bark chippings from your own garden projects these
would be equally welcomed.
We will be holding a non-uniform day at some point to raise money for appropriate bedding
plants to stimulate the senses such as herbs, lavender, sweet peas, silver sage, lambs’ ears,
sage and petunias.

Space and Beyond
Pupils in Hogwarts (Year 5 and 6) are
learning about Space. After the recent
news that NASA have successfully sent
pictures back from their helicopter to
Mars the children are excited about
their topic this term. For their Big Bang
to introduce the learning they will be
going on a (virtual) tour of Mars and the
international space station. Throughout
the topic, the children will discover the
phenomena of Earth, the moon, our
place in the solar system. They will
learn to be able to describe the move-
ment of the Earth, other planets relative to the sun in the solar system. The children have
brought in some fantastic homework projects
Sam’s Recipe Book
The smells that have been wafting out from the staff
room the last few Fridays have been making everyone
feel ravenous. Sam Connor has been working with Mrs
Laing to craft culinary creations on a Friday afternoon.
This has inspired him to write his recipe book. He would
like to collect the favourite recipes of Caythorpe to
publish in a recipe. The proceeds of the sales of the book
would go to cancer charities of his choice. If you have a
recipe to share maybe a family favourite Friday feast or
a sumptuous Sunday sweet treat, email to
helen.hunt@caythorpe-cit.co.uk including your
name and maybe a few lines about why the dish is
special to you and your family and perhaps a photo.
and I’ll forward to Sam and Mrs Laing.
Change For Life Combat
one of the Active Coordinators from Carres Sports
Outreach, Jack Padley, delivered a session on
Combat. The main aim is to give the children a
flavour of what combat sports are like as well as
raising heart rates. Florrie enjoyed being out of
breath and Travis gave it a big thumbs up.

Caythorpe Short Mat Bowls
Caythorpe Short Mat Bowls Club meet in Caythorpe Village Hall on a Tuesday afternoon –
we hope to recommence bowling sessions as soon as regulations permit in the coming weeks
as we move on up and out of lockdown.
We are a very friendly group and welcome
newcomers – no previous bowling
experience required, and tuition is willingly
given by the more experienced members
within the Club. Short mat bowls is an ideal
pastime for those who may not be able to
undertake more strenuous sporting
activities.
The short mat bowls game is fun to play and easily learned. No special attire is necessary
other than comfortable footwear and it helps to have a steady hand; a choice of bowls is
available. Teams of three or four are picked on the day from a closed bag at random, and
an informal round “robin” competition takes place ensuring each team plays the other teams.
There are no prizes but from week to week you will enjoy the company of other Club
members and have the opportunity to make many new friends.
Members who do not want to bowl every week are still encouraged to come along in a social
capacity to meet up for a chat and keep in contact with each other.
Being a sociable bunch, we also get together for social events which in the past have included
a summer BBQ, Christmas lunch/party and a couple of times a year we enjoy pub suppers
or lunch or afternoon tea.
So if you are new to the village, newly retired or just have spare time on Tuesday afternoons
why not come along and see if short mat bowling and our friendly club could be for you
(without any obligation).
If you would like more details or to be notified of the start date for the new sessions - please
email moira.weller@yahoo.com or feel free to ring Chair Bob Sampson on 01400 273873.
Alternatively, if you would like to come along to the Club AGM this is being held in the Village
Hall starting at 3pm on 1st June 2021. We look forward to welcoming our existing members
and hopefully new members then.

As we head down the road out of lockdown CSMBC is hoping to
resume bowling (exact date to be confirmed).
We are a friendly group who meet in the Caythorpe Village Hall on
Tuesday afternoons from 2-4:00pm, enjoy a friendly game of bowls,
a good natter and a cup of tea.
No previous experience is required and beginners are very welcome.
Post Covid-19 we are aiming to restart our afternoon sessions as soon
as regulations permit but we will be holding our Annual General
Meeting on Tuesday 1st June 3pm in the Village Hall Garden (if wet
socially distanced inside). If you would like to come and join us to
see who we are and what we do with a view to joining us once we
formally resume club sessions - you would be very, very welcome!!!!
ALL WELCOME BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT TO COMPLY WITH SOCIAL
DISTANCING THERE WILL BE LIMITED NUMBERS ABLE TO ATTEND

01636 551 456Dear All,
Hopefully by the time you receive this edition the weather will
be a bit warmer! Spring has been a little chillier this year but
that hasn't stopped us spending lots of time outside.
We have been learning about nature, in particular bugs and creepy crawlies. We have tidied
our bug house, made a wormary and have been waiting patiently for the tadpoles in our
rockpool to grow their legs but it's a slow process for our little ones! I think they thought they
would turn into frogs overnight!
We have shared stories including Growing Frogs, Look Out Ladybird and The Very Hungry
Caterpillar. The children have helped to make a beautiful display using their painting and
cutting skills.
We have planted the potatoes at Denise’s and the carrots and potatoes we have planted in
pots at Pre-school are just about sprouting. Again it's a patient waiting game!
As always we have been encouraging and supporting the children with their Speech and
Language development by sharing lots of books, singing and circle time. The children decided
they would like to form their own band and chose the musical instrument they wanted to
play. A good job the neighbours are not too close!
We are very pleased to say that we have had no positive cases of Covid-19 and we hope that
as time progresses parents will feel more confident
to send their children to Pre-school. Please get in
touch if you would like to know more about our lovely
setting, we have spaces for 2, 3 and 4 year old children.
Visit us on www.facebook.com/caythorpepreschool
or contact us on the details shown on our advert.
We will soon be launching our new website which
will provide further information about the Pre-school.

COUNTY COUNCILLOR ALEXANDER MAUGHAN
I am both honoured and excited to be re-elected
your County Councillor for Hough division with
an increased majority and vote share. Thank you
to everyone who voted in the local elections.
The Hough electoral division achieved the highest
turnout in the whole of Lincolnshire – at 44.3% -
which I firmly believe is testament to our
collective hard work as a community to engage
residents in local decision making.
County-wide the election result was also decisive,
with the Conservatives returning 54 out of 70
Councillors across Lincolnshire. Our priorities will
be keeping council tax low, providing good quality
services, and supporting an ambitious building
and development programme of roads, schools and broadband. We will also be targeting
more support to tackle potholes and fly-tipping and continue to provide high quality services
for our most vulnerable residents of all ages.
Locally my priority continues to be championing our villages, supporting our residents and
ensuring we get our fair share of council budgets. We have achieved a number of local
improvements in recent years but there is always more to do. Any suggestions you have are
gratefully received. I am always available to assist with your individual queries or concerns
too - contact details below.

The Covid Delayed Euro 2020 Tournament will finally
1972 West Germany
get under way this month, kicking off with Turkey V
2016 Portugal
Italy in Rome on Friday 11th June. This tournament sees
three home nations taking part, England, Wales and
Scotland, who are appearing in their first Tournament
since 1998.
One major change we will see is rather than being
based in one host country, there are several, with
matches being played in London, Glasgow, Rome, Baku,
Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, Bucharest, Amsterdam,
2012 Spain
Seville, Munich & Budapest.
This tournament seems to occasionally echo the changing face of Europe, former
winners and finalists and teams seemingly tied into modern historical events.
1976 Czechoslovakia
The first European Championship took place in 1960, with the Soviet Union beating
Yugoslavia in the final (notably neither country still exists, but more on that later…)
with the widely regarded Greatest ‘Keeper of all time, Lev Yashin appearing for the
Soviets. Another winner, Czechoslovakia in 1976, are yet another country that is
now lost to history.
The most successful country, or arguably countries, is Germany, albeit under the
2008 Spain
old pre reunification name of West Germany in two of their record three wins,
matched by being runners up three times also, six out of the 15 finals featuring a
German national team making them far and away the most successful team of the
tournament.
The 1992 Tournament was remarkable for several reasons, firstly the winners,
Denmark, managed to win it without actually qualifying for the finals! They were
1980 West Germany
2004 Greece
invited to replace Yugoslavia, who were expelled due to being involved with the
Yugoslavian war, which led to the break up of Yugoslavia and a decade of wars. It
was also the first tournament to involve a reunified German team following the fall
of the Berlin Wall some three years earlier. The original winners, The Soviet Union,
were represented by a CIS team (Commonwealth of Independent States) following
the collapse of the USSR, this tournament truly represented the changing face of
Europe at the time.
2004 was the tournament of surprises. Favourites Germany, Italy and Spain all
2000 France
failing to progress from the group stages and the holders, France, being knocked
out by rank outsiders, Greece, who further upset all the odds by beating Host Nation
Portugal in the Final!
1984 France
Portugal are the current holders, but will face both France & Germany in their group
this time, a ‘Group of Death’ for sure! England V Scotland in Group D will be one
to tune into for certain too!
Wherever you are watching, raise a glass or two and cheer our boys on!

At last the weather is a bit milder and no frost is forecast for at least the next week, so I have
taken the plunge and planted out some dahlias. I had been leaving them outside during the
day for a couple of weeks, but taking them inside at night when frost threatened. They should
be tough enough for outdoor living now. I have been treating tomatoes the same way, but
they will be staying in pots. I usually grow cordon varieties up canes, pinching out side shoots
as they appear, but this year I also bought a packet of seeds for a bush type that gives mini
plum fruits. I wonder how they will turn out.
As any gardening book will tell you, dry shade is the most difficult situation for persuading
plants to grow. The end of my garden has 5 large trees and 2 smaller ones and, given our low
rainfall, is about as dry and shady as it gets. There are several shrubs that will tolerate these
conditions, but I have always bought small ones as there are so many tree roots it’s hard to
find space to dig a hole for a bigger specimen. So far Weigela, and evergreen Mahonia,
Eleagnus and Viburnum are doing OK, sharing the space with a Lonicera and Abelia that were
there when we moved in. (I won’t list the non-survivors.) The herbaceous perennials are all
cuttings or seedlings from plants growing elsewhere in the garden, especially ferns, hellebores
and brunneras: I don’t buy anything expensive as it might not survive.
Despite the inhospitable conditions there is very little bare earth.
Wild plants appear from time to time and I tend to leave them to see
how they manage. In recent years I have seen more and more wild
arum (Arum maculatum) , which has over 40 different common
names. With its brown spadix sticking up inside a hooded spathe, it
looks rather sinister, but my favourite name of Jack-in-the-pulpit suits
it well. Other gifts from nature include lesser celandine and herb
robert, both eager spreaders (thugs), white dead nettle, red campion
and two large plants of goat’s beard, which grow to 5 feet tall with
large sprays of tiny cream coloured flowers. A hogweed has sprung
up recently, but I don’t think I want that – I’ll stick with cow parsley.
Either is has been a bad winter for amphibians, or the pond
has fallen from favour. To date I have seen only one frog
and one newt and no sign of spawn or tadpoles. I hope they
have gone elsewhere, not perished. One visitor I could have
done without was a badger that has been digging up the
lawn again. I have blocked three scrapes that go under the
back fence, and hope it will take the hint and go elsewhere.
A more welcome visitor was a blackcap, which was singing
very loudly in the cherry tree. It was just passing through,
but good to see. JA
All Correspondence To: editorsnewsandviews@gmail.com 22WE CAN MEET AT LAST!
Having just listened to Boris Johnson announcing the
updated guidance and easing of restrictions relating to the
Covid Roadmap set out earlier this year, it seems we have
good news for members this month and it is that, finally,
we are going to be able to meet up as group. Hurrah!
Pauline Dorey has asked me to let you all know that on
Caythorpe & District Women’s Institute THURSDAY 10˧˦˨˦˩˨ JUNE IN CAYTHORPE VILLAGE HALL
GARDEN at 2:00-4:00pm, we will be having our first “Get Together” of the year. All members
are, of course, invited and as of 17th May up to 30 people can meet outdoors. Indoor
hospitality is also allowed in pubs, restaurants etc. from that date, so there is every possibility
that tea, coffee and suchlike will be allowed to be served to us. As this is going to press before
that date I can’t say what other easing of restrictions might be in the pipeline, but it is certainly
looking like all is going to plan and we will be able to resume “normal” activities without face
masks but using our common sense by the end of June.
For a bit of fun, Pauline has asked us all to try to bring to the meeting, a photo of our hair
styles BEFORE and AFTER we had managed to get it cut once the hair salons opened in April.
I still haven’t had mine cut since August 2020 when I was last at my mother’s in Seaford, East
Sussex. I have made an appointment for her hairdresser to cut it on 21st May and as I have
very thick, naturally curly hair, it is not difficult to imagine how wild it all looks after nine
months; long hair when it is grey is not a good look!
Our July meeting, don’t forget, will be our Annual Meeting and we will be voting for a new
President and TWO more members are need on the committee. Being a committee member
only really involves meeting once a month, a week prior to the members meeting. Any new
information, events and so on that have come in from area office in Sleaford, will be discussed
and decisions about how to proceed will be made. Depending on what sub-committee you
have selected to be on e.g. programme planning, you may also meet with the other members
of that committee every few weeks too. As you can see, it is not a big commitment and only
a few hours a month of your time is needed. When social and other events are organised
you will all pull together as a team to achieve your goal as you would expect. So ladies, please
consider joining our happy team and possibly make new friends at the same time.
The National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI) Virtual Annual Meeting 2021 is to be
held on Tuesday 8th June. Full details regarding this virtual event can be found on
www.nfwiam21.com The speakers at the meeting this year will be HRH The Countess of
Wessex, Dame Cressida Dick Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and the Rt Hon
Baroness Hale of Richmond as well as Lynne Stubbings, the current NFWI chair. Take a look
and see what you think about taking part, it is £9 per device so up to six of you could watch
on one device, laptop, ipad etc. and have lunch together in the interval.
We are certainly looking forward to being able to give our parents, children and grandchildren
a long awaited hug next week and equally looking forward to seeing all of our WI friends too,
let’s hope we all recognise each other after all this time. Stay safe! Sue Case

The Cricket Season has started, so of course the long dry spell of weather has ended.
However, between rain showers Caythorpe Cricket Club has been a hive of activity, with
most teams having played their early-season fixtures.
Training on Friday evenings has seen a further increase in numbers participating in all age
groups, with many Girls joining.
The Seniors have played their first two matches, resulting in wins against Bassingham and
Waddington.Highlight performances were innings of Joe Attewell (53 not out) and Theo
Mussell (52 n.o.) helping secure an eight wicket victory against Bassingham. Ali Macpherson
took four wickets in the Bassingham innings.
In a low scoring game against Waddington, Caythorpe were victorious by 3 wickets. However,
the score is rather misleading - having dismissed the opposition for just 47 runs (Theo Mussell
taking six wickets for only 14 runs) Caythorpe batted in reverse order to give practice to
those who normally bat lower down the order. Hence our top-order batsmen had a day
doing very little!
Our Under 15's have played only one game because of rain but had a good win against
Grantham. Unfortunately the Under 9's, Under 11’s and Under 13's each lost their opening
fixtures but the boys and girls taking part enjoyed themselves and are rapidly learning the
game.
Lincolnshire Under 14's used our Ground to play Cambridgeshire Under 14's, with the Visitors
winning just before the rain fell!
STOP PRESS - Caythorpe Seniors had a resounding 71-run victory over Hykeham and are
now clear leaders in the League table. Details next month!

New Addition to the Menu
“Tari Wala is a dish you will find on the table of
all Punjabi families at least once a week. There
are a few regional variations and traditionally the
meat would always be cooked on the bone
however, we realise that most people in the UK
Order Online with FREE Home Delivery prefer their meat off the bone so we have used
our Home Marinated Chicken Tikka and use
Homemade Chicken Stock to make up for this.
We have also adjusted the amount of Chilli to
bring the heat level down to Medium - Hot which
makes it more manageable.
Other than that this is a dish that has been
passed down through generation after generation
and we hope you enjoy eating it as much as we
have for all these years.
As always we look forward to cooking for you.”
Opening Hours 5:30pm - 9:00pm Thursday, Friday & Saturday

A Month in which the Rector ‘bounces back’
Heritage Railways appear to be benefiting from a government ‘Bounce Back’ scheme and we
duly bought our ‘Bounce Back’ ticket entitling us to a whole compartment on the 11:15am
departure one day in April from Wirksworth to Duffield on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway
In truth this was trip down memory lane for often of a Saturday I would take mother out for
a ride in the car and we covered this area of Derbyshire extensively, perhaps enjoying a picnic
in the car park at Alport Heights looking over Wirksworth and then dropping down to the
town to see the progress on bringing the railway back to life before eventually travelling on
the line including most memorably a ride one year on the Santa Special
The line south would have joined the Midland main line at Duffield but the intention was to
take the route north beyond Wirksworth and join the main line north of Rowsley thus
by-passing a stretch of line owned by a rival company between Ambergate and Rowsley. As
soon as the Midland Railway was able to, it took over the line from Ambergate and so
Wirksworth became and remained a short branch line mainly for freight from the lead mines
and limestone quarries; for milk from farms along the route and for a small but regular group
of commuters
The last freight train in 1989 but the
lines remained and the Ecclesbourne
Valley Railway was formed to bring life
back and today our handsome crimson
red carriages were hauled by ‘Eric’– A
Class 14 diesel hydraulic locomotive
built in 1965 at Swindon D9537 for
shunting duties, latterly working for
British Steel before retiring to the East
Lancashire Railway but on loan to the
EVR.
We can see in the pictures we took first the
beautiful British Railways crest on the
carriage side displaying a demi-lion rampant
(the British lion) holding between the paws
a silver locomotive wheel. The lion is issuant
from a heraldic crown of gold on which are
arranged the rose (for England), the thistle
(for Scotland), the leek (for Wales) and the
oak leaf (for all Great Britain) – and secondly

Minor parked at the station!
It is but a short journey to the National Trust
property of Hardwick Hall where you can see the
rector doing that which the bishops have
instructed – taking some time to rest! We often
combine this with a visit to the family grave taking
flowers to replace the Christmas wreath
This letter will be coming out when the church
calendar has moved forward into the Trinity
season about which John Meade Faulkner [1858-
1932] memorably wrote:
We have done with dogma and divinity,
Easter and Whitsun past,
The long, long Sundays after Trinity
Are with us at last;
The passionless Sundays after Trinity,
Neither feast-day nor fast!

Cricket Explained
With the cricket season now in full swing, some parents still aren’t bringing their children
along to play. I feel this is because they think cricket is too complicated. It’s quite simple.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes
out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are
all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get
those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out
he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who
stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out
twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the
game!
Good morning Pete and Laura, I am very grateful to you for your willingness to change the
background to my article about the Duke of Edinburgh. Your solution was excellent for your
readers with visual impairment. On their behalf and mine, very many thanks.
