Real Life at last...
18th August, Hall Farm Potato Barn

LWhilst we can't go back to our normal meetings yet, we did the next best thing.

With a limit on numbers we had 24 of us in groups of six. The orignal plan had been to use the Lapwings Garden at the Linby Heritage Centre, but weather being as it was Plan B came into play and Claire kindly said we could use the empty potato barn.

It was lovely to have a natter (which clearly we excel at) and see people in real life as oppossed to on a computer screen. Look out for details of future meet ups on the weekly e mail and ensure you register your interest to be included.

Lockdown Reflections
Published August 2020

The A to Z picture challenge on Facebook will be published as a photobook later in the year.

Show and Tell
14th July 2020 via Zoom

To reflect that we would in normal circumstances have a morning meeting and an evening meeting, this zoom meeting was held in the morning to try to get a few more of our regular mornings only members involved.

After the usual fun and games of getting everyone logged in and hearing/seeing everyone (this can be rather entertaining), there was a lot of chatter around what people had been during and a couple of people showed off quilts that had made or been given. 

Clare promised to share her saucy beetroot recipe, this is on our facebook page, but will also be added to our recipes here on the website.

There was a reminder that for one week only members can use our facebook page to sell items they no longer want.

As usual it was lovely to see so many members and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

 

The Old Market Square
25th June 2020 via Zoom

We started our evening with a toast to Lapwings as we celebrate our 6th Birthday.


​Off we then went with Felicity Whittle who took us on a virtual tour of the Old Market Square. Not only did we learn a lot, but it made us think about the amazing history and architecture of the area.

Did you know that there had been a market in the centre of Nottingham since the 11th century and the market only moved in 1928 when the Council house was built? It was shortly after that the name changed to The Old Market Square. It still remains as one of the largest slab squares in the UK.

Other fascinating facts;-

• The Nat West bank is on the site of one of the first provincial banks outside of London.
• Joseph Else designed the lions and the Wetherspoons pub bears his name.
• Beastmarket Hill (site of the cattle market) was the site of the first John Player shop.
• The Bell Inn is on the site of a Carmelite Friary and the building dates back to 1437.
• Bromley House Subscription Library is the home of Nottingham's Meridian Line which is 4 minutes 33 seconds behind the Greenwich Meridian Line.
• Long Row was once Nottingham's premier shopping street and the architecture of the buildings (above the modern day facades) is stunning; culminating in one of Watson Fothergill's masterpieces - Queens Chambers.

All in all, a interesting evening, we learnt a lot and we must try to remember to look up when we go "down town", but please be careful not to trip up!

Annual Meeting via e mail....

Normally, at this time of the year, we would be getting ready to have our Annual Meetings and celebrate our birthday. These are unprecedented times ( so they tell us at least 10 times a day!!!)

The NFWI told us all to close down our meetings so Annual Meetings are not possible. We have 15 months in which to have a meeting but the advice from Notts Federation is as follows:

• The present Officers (President, Secretary and Treasurer) would stay in place for another year
• The committee would also stay in place
• The President's address, Treasurer's financial statement and Trustees Report to be sent out via email

Our amazing committee are happy to stay in place, if you have any concerns please follow the instructions in the email.

The Secretary's report June 2020
 
One way and another it’s been quite a year
But our Lapwings flock are always here.
We come together in so many ways
With different events to fill our days.
 
At our regular meetings we have done all kinds
To interest and educate our enquiring minds.
We’ve heard about Nottingham’s villainy and vice
And Chatsworth gardens, which are always nice.
 
We have supported charities and heard what they do,
Like the Air Ambulance and Blood Bikers too.
Awareness of Breast Cancer and Mental Wellbeing
Provided speakers who were well worth hearing.
 
We have made decorations and arranged our flowers
We learned about colour therapy and crafted for hours.
We heard about pantomimes and “Ay Up Me Duck”,
We’ll understand the dialect now - with a bit of luck.
 
Taste testing foods opened a few eyes
With some different shops winning the prize.
A fabulous evening was had by us all
When Mortimer’s Morris Dancers came to call.

We continue with our makes and collections
To help with charities in all directions:
Heart shaped cushions, twiddlemuffs and mats,
Crisp packets, milk bottle tops and all kinds of hats.
 
The Underground Reservoir and Papplewick Pumping Station
Provided a visit of great fascination.
Our Trentham trip was a lovely day out
For gardens and shopping, without a doubt.
 
There have been three visits to the BBC
And some of us sat on that red settee!
We saw how they work and report the news,
And for weather forecasters, the green screen they use.
 
Our Craft Fair was more popular than ever,
Supporting Blood Bikes with our endeavour.
Hats for the homeless was our winning tree theme.
To help keep the homeless warm is our dream.
 
We have collected tins, packets and money too
For our local Food bank, to help a few.
Sanitary towels have been sewn and pants collected
So African children are safe and protected.

We celebrated together when Christmas bells rang
With a lovely evening when the Community Choir sang.
At our New Year Party there were hilarious games.
To build a snowman was one of our aims.
 
Our subgroup meetings have been a mixture,
From craft afternoons to painting a picture.
Walking and strolling and running now too
Are ways to keep fit for quite a few.
 
Our netball players have enjoyed their game
And Facebook adverts promote their fame.
For those who like to chat and eat
Lunch and supper groups are a chance to meet.
 
Our wellbeing group has just begun
Looking after our health and having fun.
Our Garden of Reflection looks a dream
Thanks to our green fingered gardening team.
 
Down at the pub there’s knitting and nattering
And in Spanish some ladies are now chattering.
We continue to grow our family trees.
With all these groups we aim to please.

Everything was going with such a swing
Then along came this coronavirus thing!
Meetings and groups all got the chop
When most of our world came to a stop.
 
Many of our members went into isolation
While others worked for the good of the nation.
Our key workers are our heroes too.
We are all so very proud of you!!
 
Lockdown has meant that home we must stay
But to keep in touch we have found a way.
Facebook posts and emails each week
Help provide some of the company we seek.
 
And who knew how we would all become
Technical wizards – what an outcome!
We’ve played games and quizzes via Zoom
Bringing our friends into our room.
 
We had a speaker with his prize green cock
To entertain our Lapwings flock.
The menopause featured on our Facebook chat
With ideas and suggestions to tackle that.

Our very own Janet talked to us too
About organ donors and what we should do.
Her life was saved by a selfless donation,
Her story told through a moving narration.
 
While staying home we haven’t been lazy
We’re going gardening and de-cluttering crazy!
Some have been crafting and painting through,
Books have been read and films watched too.
 
Many have sewn to relieve the stress
With scrubs and wash bags for the NHS.
Headbands and masks have all made the grade,
Carers are clapped for and rainbows displayed.
 
The committee called everyone on the phone -
So welcome, especially for those on their own.
Cards were sent with seeds to sow,
Sunflowers and pumpkins to hopefully grow.
 
Looking forward to a future day
When we can all meet in some way,
Meetings and subgroups starting anew
But most of all seeing our friends too.
 
Until we can all be together once more
The Committee is here for you, whatever the score.
Whether lockdown has been heaven or hell
We hope all our members are safe and well.

Janet's amazing story....
8th June 2020 via Zoom

in Just over five years ago in the early hours of the 4th of June Janet received her life saving liver transplant and got a 2nd chance of life.

Janet told us the story of her remarkable recovery from her liver transplant.  From being a healthy individual, Janet developed a rare liver disease, which rapidly deteriorated and which necessitated in an emergency liver transplant. 

She astounded us with some of the statistics around transplants and how, even now, with the recent change in the law which assumes that we have consented unless we opt out, families still can overrule your decision. You can opt out of the register, but don't do that on the basis of any medical issue as every donor is fully screened prior to any donation taking place to ensure the safety of anyone involved.. The statistics show that you are more likely to need a transplant then be in the position of being a donor.

The message from Janet was clear, talk to your family and make sure that they are fully aware of your wish to donate. Janet told us that she thinks about her donor and her family quietly everyday. In their darkest of times they were able to think about others in need and agreed to her wish to be a donor. Donor families are truly amazing and are never forgotten.

So live your live to the full, take lots of photos, make lots of memories and when you can, hug those you love a few seconds longer.

'My green cock.....'
26th May 2020 via Zoom

It's OK ...it's only the speaker's, Kevin Rostance, usual attempt to shock the ladies.
After some 'tech' problems to connect with Kevin, he  appeared on screen to entertain 29 of us with his account of his long time hobby of keeping and showing specific birds - budgies, macaws and parrots.
In between his talk he challenged us to a quiz based on birds, which was won by Julie Chambers - sure she will enjoy her wine and chocolates!
Kevin spoke about the ways a bird is prepared for 'showing'; how he breeds them and gave a lot of statistics with regards to the number of breeders and shows. Unfortunately there are less and less breeders and shows nowadays, even thought there were many breeders in the Hucknall and Bulwell areas. A breeder from Bulwell provided the parrots, etc, for the Timotei shampoo advert.
'My green cock' refers to his prize winning budgerigar. He told us that unlike the human, where the female is prettier than the male, in the bird world the male is more often prettier than the female! To prepare for showing they have to be spruced up, shampooed and 'tweezered' to remove unwanted spots - this refers to the dark spots they have around their neck/collar - of which there should be 3 equal ones.
He has aviaries in his back garden, but has been made, by his wife Jayne, to make them look more like beach huts! He showed some of the larger birds, who then became very quiet  - even though throughout his talk we could hear them squawking
Kevin gave an insight into a hobby which he loves, but he did add that Jayne does not share his hobby - it's the flapping of the wings which she dislikes.

Fun and Games
12th May 2020

Fun and games was had by all the attendees at our last Zoom meeting.

Not only did we have a frantic beetle drive, somewhat suspiciously the same people seemed to win each game. Although the funniest part was Rachel and her dice without a "6".

We also had a fun scavenger hunt. We all seemed to find something to meet every possible category in very quick time.

This time nearly 30 of us logged in to the Zoom meeting and it is great to see so many familiar faces on line.

Positives all around..
27th April 2020

It was great to see so many of you at our latest Zoom meeting. We had a great chat about the positive things we have enjoyed about lockdown.

We have a range of members from those in complete lockdown to key workers but all have found positive aspects:

• Being able to hear the birds sing,
• finding new walks around our area,
• enjoying the garden,
• finding time to sew (many have been making wash bags and headbands for local hospitals and care homes),
• read,
• paint,
• crochet,
• do yoga,
• exercise,
• re-engaging with neighbours and friends and family around the world,
• even getting to work more easily because there is less traffic.

Uplifting to hear all these positives and know our members are making the best of the situation with lots of laughter and chatter.❤️

Counting our blessings ❤️❤️❤️❤️

And thanking all our ladies who are key workers too - clapping on Thursday for our NHS workers, school staff, shop workers, farmers, people helping those who have been furloughed...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏etc. etc.

For those who have fallen back in love with their sewing machines on the patterns pages you will find the details of the heart pillows and the bonding hearts.

Until next time ladies - Stay Safe and Well

We don't let social distancing stop us....
22th April 2020

Whilst we all deal with life following social distancing rules and many of us are still working it's amazing to see some of the things that Lapwings have achieved:

• Our Committee have held their meetings via Zoom
• We have raised over a £1000 for the local Foodbank
• Toiletries have been collected for the key workers in the NHS and distributed at City Hospital
• 100s of Headbands and Scrub Wash Bags have been made by our members (at the last count there were over 450 Scrub Wash Bags and over 300 Headbands)
• Some of our members have crocheted the "ear savers"
• Our amazing committee phoned all of our members to check that we were okay
• We had our first meeting on Zoom and Helen won the quiz.
• A number of us have learnt new skills as unused sewing machines were dusted off and put back into service.

We have, more importantly, kept each other amused on our private group Facebook page. if you are on Facebook and haven't joined our Private Group please do so as there are things posted on there most days,

Please continue to read our weekly e mail as there is always lots of useful advice in there and you never know there may be more Zoom meetings to look forward to. Stay safe and well.

Update
16th March 2020

In the light of today's announcements from the government, the committee have taken the decision to cancel all WI meetings and subgroups until the end of March.
This is a decision that has not been taken lightly but the main concern is for the health and wellbeing of our members. 
No monies will be lost as everything will be re-arranged when we come out the other side of this situation.
The situation will be reviewed as further information is received and we will keep you informed.
 
With this in mind please remember the ideas for keeping busy that were on last night's email:
  - Social isolation does not have to mean being totally cut off from others. 
  - Use social media. Keep in touch.
  - Choose something positive to do each day so you have a goal.
 -  Put on our Facebook any suggestions you may have for keeping busy.
 -  Add any photos of things you have done.
 
Positive things to do if you are in isolation: 

• Make the most of social media - Facetime, Skype, etc. to keep in touch with others
• Ring someone every day for a chat
• Sort that paperwork you have been putting off
• De-clutter those cupboards
• Start on your family tree (you will be amazed how fast the time goes)
• Use your stash of wool, material, etc and make something
• Finish those works in progress, finally!
• Get out in the garden when the weather allows, even if only for a cuppa in the fresh air.
• Read those books you have been meaning to read for ages
• Do some light exercises to music
• Watch all those boxsets and series you've missed
• Put your ideas on our Facebook group page

If you need help please let us know.
Keep calm, keep your sense of humour .keep smiling,  stay safe and well.

Spring is in the air
10th March 2020

What a wonderful morning as our own Caroline Banton demonstrated a spring flower arrangement and then we were all let loose to create our own.....

We certainly are a creative bunch (no pun intended).
Some of the works in progress and the beautiful finished works of art are shown below, but more can be found in our gallery.

What is also worth mentioning is the huge pile of children's underwear that was so generously donated by our members.

These will be going to a school in Africa, along with the reusable sanitary towels that some of our members are making.

No doubt these will make a huge difference to some young children's lives.

Biggest dance group ever!
27th February 2020

Mortimer's Morris dancers, accompanied by an instrumental group, came to entertain the Lapwings at Thursday's meeting. Not the usual array of Morris men dancers, but ladies instead, in their colourful ribboned waistcoats and skirts. 
They entertained with a brief history of Morris dancing, how they formed as a group, their choice of name, music (French!), clothing and the instrumental backing.  And now we know what a 'hurdy-gurdy' looks like!
The ladies performed dances and then it was the turn of the Lapwings, who really got into the spirit of the dancing. A little awkward at the beginning but they soon got into the swing of things, thoroughly enjoying the experience. It must have been the biggest Morris dance 'participation' ever!

---

​Before the dancing started  Bernadette talked to us about the need for washable sanitary wear for girls in Africa, as well as the need for pants for both boys and girls (aged 4 - 15), as children who wear pants are less susceptible to sexual assault. Lapwings are already involved in the production of sanitary wear.

"Ay up me duck"
11th February 2020

We had a fascinating talk from David Amos about the Erewash dialect. It was interesting to hear how it had been influenced over the years and how words are being lost from use.

Who would have thought that Maggie Thatcher, when she was Prime Minister would have accused Jim Callaghan of being "Frit" in the House of Commons. Or that GP's new to the area were given information on the more commonly used words that they might come across in their surgeries! Even the police were given "translation tips" during the miners' strike.

Bringing his knowledge from the mining industry and more recently in academia, David tested our knowledge and we had a lot of fun as we "translated" words and saying
​-Oo worree wee - worree wee issen?
- Stik woodin tow'l.
- A tow'd im e'kud pleez issen!
- Gerrup yo, else al bat ya tab, to give just a few examples.
I think we all agreed - Ezz gorrabee lont ow tertolk proppa

Powerful Colours
23rd January 2020

What an interesting night we had for our first evening back for 2020. Not only was the hall packed but we had an interesting and insightful talk from Paula-Marie Turner about Colour.

Paula shared her life's journey with us and explained how she became a colour therapist. She told us about how this holistic therapy works and how the language of colour can reveal our personality, character, gifts and talents.

Her fascinating display of colourful bottles, which are a mixture of oil and water are the starting point of this. The individual selects 4 of these bottles  and then, using her own knowledge and training, Paula explores your story with you. She demonstrated this with two willing participants from the audience. Overall it was really enjoyable and thought - provoking. www.facebook.com/truecolourtherapiesuk

Tantalising tasting!
14th January 2020

The first Tuesday morning meeting of the 2020 was dedicated to 'food' - a tasting session.
Three samples of 7 different foods were offered for the discerning palettes, with the tasters marking each sample. On offer were samples of Cheddar cheese, chocolate, cookies, Hot Cross buns, jam, plain crisps and popcorn. Some surprising results - Aldi's crisps were favourite above Walker's - see for yourself how each product was judged and the concentration of the judges!

A great party night.
6th January 2020

 A great attendance at our January party night.  A true WI evening full of fun, laughter and friendship - no falling out about the best snowwoman!
​The evening started on a more serious note with a presentation of £400 from the Craft Fair, made by President Joanna Parris to the Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes, who came to talk to us earlier in September. Due to the generosity of the members a further £143.88 was collected and donated to this very worthy cause.
Then the fun and games started, as you can see from the pictures below....

Panto and Cheers
10th December 2019

We were well entertained by Trevor Lee who told us about the history of Pantomime, shared with us various anecdotes and tales from the Theatre Royal in Nottingham and we heard about some of the famous folk who had trod the boards there.

We also had a sing a long to various songs that would have featured on the stage.
To round off the last meeting of the year we enjoyed some delicious cakes and mulled wine.

Our Amazing Tree Makes it a Double...
7th December 2019

Wow! We triumphed again and won 1st prize in the Hucknall Christmas Tree Festival!

Well done to everyone involved in this fantastic achievement, with special thanks to Janet for all her hard work in putting this together.

For those who haven't had the chance to see this amazing tree, it is now on display in Hucknall Library for a couple more weeks.

In January all the hats will be taken off the frame and donated to the homeless.

Christmas Party Night
6th December 2019

The pictures say it all, lovely company, beautiful tables (courtesy of the committee) and wonderful entertainment from the Brinsley Community Choir. An evening of much chatter, fun and laughter.
More pictures can be found in the gallery

We must be getting better at netball as one of our mixed teams (Lapwings and Willington) got into the final!  And lost to a decent score of 3-2. 
What would have happened if we had stayed as the Lapwings netball team?
​However we came last in the previous tournament so coming 2nd and 5th was a definite sign of improvement.

.
The day was very enjoyable with other challenges to keep us busy.
A great atmosphere - what else would you expect from WI ladies!

Helen and Rita were thrilled to get their medals.

And as you can see by the group picture there were medals galore for both the mixed teams.

​

A fantastic result!

Getting ready for Christmas

Thursday's meeting was a very active evening, with huge bundles of greenery and Christmassy decorations for the table arrangements. Some went for small, some for exotic and the brave went for large and exotic. Lots of chatter and laughter but a very impressive collection of table ornaments were produced.
Thursday 28th November 2019

Lapwings at the Beeb...

A fun night was had on our recent visit to the local BBC studios. They might have found some new recruits. More pictures can be found in the gallery.

Getting Creative with Christmas Crafts

The sound of chatter and laughter filled the room as we all tried a variety of crafts - from card making, glass painting, paper trees, paper angels, pom poms to gift bags - all of course with a Christmas theme.

Not only was it great fun, we were all very productive and surprised ourselves with the results of our work. To top it all we managed to finish off the cakes and sausage rolls which were left over from the Autumn Fair.

Evidence of our hard work and enjoyment can be seen below and more pictures can be found in the gallery.
Tuesday 12th November 2019

Autumn Craft Fair

We hosted another very successful Craft Fair in Papplewick Village Hall. A wide range of talented artisans selling their wares, along with our ever popular Tearoom with lots of scrumptious cakes and savouries. Below is a brief glimpse - more photos can be found in the gallery.

This year a share of our profits will be donated to Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes.
Saturday 9th November

Something to think about

We had a thought provoking morning, Hayley Berry from Nottinghamshire Mind talked to us about Mental Health.
There were some shocking statistics;-
- in the UK in 2018 there were 18 suicides a day
- 1674 were female and 5185 male
- suicide is the biggest cause of death in males aged between 18-45

Hayley led us all through a mindfulness exercise. and talked about the 5 main things to keep us well.
These were;- Connect, Keep Learning, Be Active, Give and Take Notice. Interesting how aligned this is to being an active member of our WI and taking part in our various sub groups
Tuesday October 8th 2019

Heroes on bikes

It was a surprise to us all as a large yellow and black motorbike was wheeled into the Village Hall. This was part of a demonstration and presentation on behalf of the Nottinghamshire Blood Bikes given by John Devlin.  Their voluntary work greatly helps the NHS in fulfilling its role. They are 'unsung' heroes who go about their duty quietly, often in the middle of the night, to ensure that blood, breast milk, organs and other necessities get to their destinations quickly.  Self - funding and reliant purely on volunteers, this is a group to be admired.  President Jo presented a cheque and  further monies will be gifted after our Craft Fair.
​And then the ladies couldn't resist a pose on the bikes - Teresa, however, looked a little uncertain!

Chatsworth Gardens
Christine Robinson (former housekeeper at Chatsworth House) took us on a historical tour of the beautiful gardens and gave us an insight into how they had evolved over the years, using historical photos and plans in her presentation.

It was amazing to hear that the gravity fed Emperor's fountain (the largest in Europe) took a mere six months to build; this involved not only creating a new lake, but also draining moorland and creating a pipe and sluice network! Makes you think how long it would take to build today, considerably longer that six months I suspect.

Christine also gave us many tips of places to visit away from the crowds to enjoy the beautiful grounds and park vistas.

Magical Gardens
We had a wonderful day out at Trentham Gardens, exploring the beautiful gardens with a fascinating array of garden sculptures. Then we found the time to indulge in a little retail therapy. More pictures can be found on the Trentham Gardens gallery page.
August 20th 2019

 Victorian Waterworks!
We had a evening visit to this amazing place, designed in the early 1880s to pump millions of gallons of clean fresh water every day to the rapidly increasing population of Industrial Nottingham. It is a fantastic example of Victorian engineering and excess at its best. Even the drain pipes are works of art! The brick built underground reservoir is a place of beauty and also has great acoustics as a rendition of Jerusalem took place. Many more pictures can be found in the Papplewick Pumping Station gallery page
