Kick Boxing for Oldies - Yeah!

E-mail Print

Kick Boxing LogoAge is just a number, so they say, and in many ways it is.  Regardless of the age we happen to be, inside we seldom feel different or "older" than we were.  Of course there are signs of ageing and one of the signs for some people is when a narrow waist and a broad mind swap places, but for many of my generation, not much is allowed to slow us down and we are probably the "youngest" older generation in history.

This was the first tournament for all three fighters and despite initial nerves all fighters performed to the best of their ability and demonstrated excellent kickboxing skills.

East Leake Carnival 2009

E-mail Print

As in previous years, the fifth village carnival was well attended and extremely successful.  Living next door to one of the regular participants, I know something about the months of preparation involved in creating costumes, float decorations, buckets of papier-mache not to mention boards, staple guns and poster paints.

Happily the weather was much kinder this year than last, which meant that there were even more people to line the streets watching the parade.  It is reassuring to see so much of the community on occasions such as this and a huge vote of thanks and appreciation goes to all those who took part and especially those who helped to organise it.  There appeared to be fewer stalls but this might be due to the fact that inquiries from prospective stall holders were not answered.  Nevertheless there was a good showing.

There are some photographs available for viewing or download in the Photograph Gallery and I am always happy to supply high quality copies if anyone requires them providing they have a good reason for requiring them.  If you have any you'd like to share, please let me know or if you are a member, you should be able to upload them directly. Try to keep the size at or below 800 pixels on the longest side and send an email if you want to include some information.  Thank you.

Church Website of the Year

E-mail Print

Whatever your philosophical or religious beliefs, or lack of them, few people can fail to be aware that we have a thriving ecumenical community here in the village.  What's more I am personally aware of scores of people from all walks of life who practice what might be described as "Christian Values" so I have no reservations in promoting anything connected with these people and their activities. 

On this occasion I am asking my visitors for nothing more than a couple of minutes to vote for the St Mary's Parish Church websites.  Just click on the picture and it will take you to the Christian Aid website where you can cast your vote starting Thurday 18th June until Wednesday July 8thDo it now before you forget!

Surefish Logo

In case you haven't seen the nominated websites, you can view the http://eastleakestmarys.blogspot.com/ which is actually an excellent blog well worth visiting if you live locally.  You don't have to be a church goer to take an interest or to vote and it will help to promote Christian Aid, our local church and it will encourage all those wonderful people who work so hard in our community - just because they care.  Let them know that you care too.

The other website is on our local ELCID community website http://www.east-leake.co.uk/stmarys.html where you can pick up all kinds of news and information about the village and surrounding areas.  Don't put it off, vote now!  It will take you no more than a minute or so and mean so much to lots of people.  Thank you.

East Leake Times

E-mail Print

East Leake TimesAlmost every day I hear from local (and not so local) businesses about advertising and of course I am happy to include any local businesses or community groups on this website.  However, this is no substitute for effective paid advertising and not everyone has access to the Internet.  Some people don't trust the Internet and others can't be bothered to surf for information so here's the simplest and most effective answer...

Right here in the village we have our very own monthly magazine, The East Leake Times, that is sustained largely by advertising but contains a wealth of other relevant infoirmation that is of interest to a wide variety of people, all of whom read it diligently.  That includes people who visit this website so don't rely entirely on the free advertising here because you'll be missing out on so much more impact - especially since it is also available online at the publisher's website (link below).

Great Place - Great People

E-mail Print

Someone has to say it - The motto I've adopted for East Leake is that it is "A Great Place to Live" and every day I see more reasons for believing this.  Apart from it's climate, convenience and community the real force behind everything is the people who live here.  Just to illustrate, here are some examples...
