NEED A LICENCE FOR
FUNDRAISING OR PARTY?
If you’re
holding an event in Bassetlaw that
includes live or recorded music, singing, dancing, or the sale of
alcohol, you may need a licence. If the venue you are using doesn’t
have a Premises Licence issued by Bassetlaw District Council, you need
to apply for a Temporary Event Notice to cover these licensable
activities.
Application forms can be downloaded from the Council’s website or are
available by post from the Licensing Department. The cost is
£21. Legislation says that 10 clear working days’ notice (does not
include Saturdays, Sundays, Bank Holidays, day of receipt and day of
event) are required by both the Police and the District Council to deal
with the application. Failure to comply with this requirement may
invalidate your Public Liability Insurance. For further information,
call Bassetlaw District Council on 01909 533533 and ask for Nina
Robinson (ext 5123) or Amanda Webster (ext 3283).
LOCAL
‘FREECYCLE’ GROUP
The Retford &Worksop Freecycle group is open to all who want to recycle
something rather than throw it away. Whether it's a chair, a fax
machine, a piano, or an old door, you can post it online. Or maybe you
want something yourself. There’s just one main rule: everything on offer
must be free. This local group is part of The Freecycle Network, a
non-profit organisation that’s interested in keeping good stuff out of
landfills. Go to
www.freecycle.org
for a link to the local group.
COUNCIL’S QUALITY ACCREDITATION ENDS
Misterton Parish Council’s period of accreditation as a quality parish
council came to an end on 12 August. The new administration, elected in
May, hadn't met the requirement to publish an annual report by 30 June –
but decided not to apply to renew accreditation anyway. It will be well
into next year before another application can be made.

DEMOLITION OF VILLAGE CLUB MARKS END OF AN ERA
The demolition of Misterton Sports Social Club (pictured), which began
this month, marks the removal of the last building on the former
Newell’s factory site. The former works social club, which was run as a
private members’ club when the factory was closed, shut its doors in
January. Since then, committee members have been trying to find an
alternative venue for the successful social club. The historic building,
which once served generations of workers at the factory, will make way
for a housing development.
NEW
VILLAGE SIGNS
New gateway signs (pictured), depicting features of the village, have
been installed on the four routes into into Misterton. The design is by
Malcolm Moody, who won a competition run by the previous administration
of Misterton Parish Council for improved signage.

FINE
WEATHER BRINGS VISITORS TO VILLAGE GALA
Hundreds flocked to Misterton’s annual village gala last Saturday (10
July). And, with good weather, an afternoon of entertainment was laid on
for visitors young and old. There were dance displays by pupils of
Everett-Fox School of Dance and Bedazzled, Notts Fire & Rescue showed
how they deal with a car on fire (pictured), and young footballers
showed their skills at the ‘glorious game’. Staff and pupils of the
village’s Primary School had the chance to get their own back at
retiring Headteacher, Dave Herrett, when he gamely stood in the stocks
while visitors paid to pelt him with wet sponges (also pictured). The
proceeds (after deduction of expenses) will be donated to All Saints’
Church, which underwrote the event, and other village ‘good causes’.
Many thanks to all who supported the 2010 gala. Anyone interested in
joining the organising team for the 2011 gala, contact Hazel Brand on
(01427) 891376.

PARISH COUNCIL LETS QUALITY STATUS LAPSE
Misterton Parish Council voted not to apply
for the quality scheme for parish and town councils at its meeting on 15
June. So it will cease to be a quality council when the current
four-year period of accreditation comes to an end in August. With no
permanent clerk in post, and little chance of recruiting one in the
short term, giving up quality status leaves three other parish councils
in Bassetlaw that have met this standard.
Being a quality parish council has meant:
·
a better council because of
the need to maintain certain standards
·
regular communication with
residents through newsletters, annual reports, information leaflets, etc
·
not breaking the law
·
giving the electorate
confidence in the council
·
giving the council prestige
·
financial benefits, eg £500
that was only available to quality councils, which the previous
administration of Misterton Parish Council gave to the drugs education
programme at Misterton Primary School.
