entertaining visitors to the grounds of The Grange with a summer

Admission will be £3.00 and the concert will start at 3pm.
There will be a bar in Grange Hall and should the weather be
unkind the event will take place in the hall.
This is the first summer band concert staged by the parish
council and it is hoped it will be the forerunner to others.
Tickets are now available from the parish council office and Dry
Cleaners on Main Road.
Grange Hall is to be the venue for further blood donors
sessions organised by NHS Blood and Transplant on Thursday

Although the weather on August 12 was unkind, this year’s
Summer Fun Day organised by the parish council and held in the
grounds of Grange Hall, was still well attended and a success.
The theme for the 2010 event was Heroes and the people who
provide us with emergency services in the village — police, fire
and ambulance — were represented. There was also an appearance
of the mounted police.
Highlight of the day was the unveiling of a special plaque in
honour of Radcliffe-born Mr Samuel Morley who was awarded a
Victoria Cross in 1858 for his bravery during the Indian
Mutiny. Five members of the Morley family, including his great
grandson John, attended the event.
Following the success of the event
last year, Radcliffe on Trent Parish Council decided to stage
another village Pride Day and this took place on Saturday July
31.
Volunteers were sought to join local councillors
for the organised litter pick and clean up session in the
village, with the event being based at The Grange.
Those supporting the appeal – over 20 residents turned up to
help -- collected over 25 bags of rubbish. Coffee and
biscuits were served in The Grange for those returning after
their 60-minute collecting stint. Rushcliffe Borough Council
Streetwise team collected the sacks on the lunchtime of the day
in question.
Efforts are being made to form a
local group to stage a
Greening Campaign in Radcliffe.
The parish council is facilitating the
initial move and one meeting has already been held.
What is a
Greening Campaign?
Well, it is
an initiative that encourages communities to come together and
make a difference to the environment within the local community.
The Greening Campaign joins individuals, groups, councils,
schools and government together in a joint programme that is
simple and very effective - more info on
www.greening-campaign.co.uk/About.html
The parish
council is supporting the launch of a Greening Campaign, and
have agreed to facilitate the formation of a group, along with
the support of Nigel Hamshere of the Greening Campaign.
In order to
take the initiative forward a public meeting has been called on
Thursday October 14 in Grange Hall at 7pm when it is hoped to form a group of
volunteers. This will hopefully involve all
aspects and groups of our communities including schools,
businesses, voluntary groups and residents of Radcliffe.

The village this year
again took part in the Nottinghamshire Best Kept Village
Competition and it is pleasing to be able to say were placed as
runners up in the category for parishes with a population of
over 2000 people. Collingham were the winners.
The competition is organised annually by
the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
The Dayncourt group of
schools in Radcliffe and Cotgrave is aiming to award unsung
people in the community.
A scheme ‘Every Child matters’ will honour
those people who strive to support children and young people to
do the best they can.
There are two awards to be won — one is
for anyone under 16, the other is for anyone 16 and over. Both
awards have the same aim which is to celebrate and acknowledge
members of the communities
who go the extra mile to help children and
young people achieve their goals.
Nominations for the awards are being
sought and these will be presented by BBC Midlands weatherman
Des Coleman at the Communities Together Fun Day on Saturday,
September 25, in the grounds of Grange Hall.

Plans have been finalised for a
visit next year to Grange Hall by the internationally famous
singing group The Searchers. The show will be taking place on
the evening of Sunday April 3, 2011.
Tickets reservations at £20.00 each can be
made to the parish council office on 0115 933 5808.
The group, who were formed 48 years ago,
have just completed a highly successful tour of Australia and
the USA. The Searchers are one of the few British pop groups who
have maintained their position at the top for well over 45
years. Second only to The Beatles as Liverpool's finest 60's
group, they are the most underrated British band to emerge
during the Mersey beat era.
Rushcliffe Borough Council has introduced a Controlled Drinking Zone for Radcliffe. The Order does not stop
drinking on the street or café/pub forecourts but gives the police the power to
order it to be stopped and/or to confiscate the drink in question. It also gives
them power to take drink from people carrying it in the street if they are
suspected to be under the influence of alcohol or going to consume it in a
public place. The order covers all the grounds of the parish council. Currently
police officers can only arrest people for being drunk and disorderly. The new
order would allow them to confiscate alcohol and arrest or fine anyone who fails
to co-operate. The Order has now been confirmed by the full Borough Council.
The council is receiving more and more complaints over the
nuisance of dog fouling, particularly on the Cliff Top area, and
wishes to confirm it has a zero tolerance attitude towards these
incidents and will not hesitate to take action against offending
dog owners.
The
council appeals to residents to assist us in this matter both by
ensuring they pick up any mess left by the dog or acting as an
observer and report to us any incident they see. The council
will seek assistance from Rushcliffe Borough Council in taking
the necessary action against a dog owner who fails to clear up
any mess left by their animal.
