RATA - Rogate Appeal for Traffic Action

The lead topic has been the “20sPlenty where people live” campaign. Wheelie bin stickers have publicised the topic and is the start of changing the mind-set of drivers. The Petersfield Post has reported on the subject. The RPC Traffic Sub-Committee has petitioned the centre of Rogate village for a 20mph default speed limit, taking in West Street (including the Parsonage), East Street, North Street and Haben Hill.

Will’s “Camping Adventure” Part 3-Autumn

It’s now autumn and I have reached 210 nights and raised over £2,000 so far.

Thanks to everyone who is supporting me to complete this challenge. I have been given a warmer sleeping bag by my scout group. I don’t know how I would survive without their support and kind gift.

Last night it went down below freezing and I didn’t feel cold at all. When I woke up there was frost on my tent! It’s now getting darker in the mornings and also at night. I hope I get up in time for school.

So far I have been lucky because there hasn’t been much rain. But I’ve heard at school that it’s meant to snow soon. I do hope not!

I’m so enjoying waking up every morning outside in the fresh air. Over half term I’m going to move my tent up onto our farm and spend a few nights up there. It’ll be cold but it won’t stop me having fun!

The other week the Petersfield Post put in a little article about my camping out, it was only small but a lot of people saw it and donating to my scout hut charity. The customers at our farm shop have been so generous with their donations of money, so have parents of scouts, my friends, my relatives and lots of very kind well-wishers.  My next write up will be in winter, bbbbrrrrrrr so cross your fingers for me!  Will Grange.(1st Sheet Scouts) Durleighmarsh Farm.

Using food in a sustainable way to create electricity!  What will they think of next?

The amount of food we waste each year currently sits at a global figure of 1.3bln tons. An unconceivable sum when we consider the amount of people who are starving in the world. But what can be done to put all this waste to better use?

Three councils in North Wales are looking at innovative ways of using food waste in a sustainable way; by turning 20,000 tons of it into electricity each year. The £7.5m project ………………………  TO READ THE FULL STORY CLICK THIS LINK

A Beautiful Story, makes you wonder if things really do happen for a reason, well sometimes anyway!

 

The brand new pastor and his young wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn. Arriving in early October excited about their opportunities but when they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.

They worked hard, repairing pews, re-plastering walls, painting, etc. and on …………………. To finish reading this story click this link

ARABIAN NIGHTS CHRISTMAS PANTO A BIG HIT  The “Arabian Nights” Panto put on at Rogate Village Hall by Proteus Productions from Basingstoke, was deemed a truly great success by all who attended the Saturday afternoon show. Brian Allison, the Rogate & Terwick Village Hall Committee Chairman, said:

“He and his team had been completely blown away by the production, the whole troop of actors and technicians were both very professional and a joy to work with, they really brought the whole thing to life, with lots of comedy whilst telling a really good story, just what you want from a Christmas Panto.

The whole show from the original concept idea through to the actual performance had been a real team effort and said he would really like to thank personally, all his team of helpers for their hard work. From Ticket production and sales, through the shows advertising & promotion, setting the hall up, the raffle, teas, coffee & ice-creams to the clearing away afterwards took a lot of effort by his team and just showed what the Rogate community is capable of.”

With the very kind sponsorship provided by Rogate Garage, Rogate Parish Council and not forgetting Trudy & Ron from the White Horse Pub who are always there to help & support village efforts, the cost of the tickets was kept as low as possible so that all could enjoy the show in these hard times.

A Christmas Ditty to amuse you at this Festive Time!

At Last Someone Explains The “Banking Crises” in a Simple Easy To Understand Format!

The Banking Crisis simply explained…   A “Young Apprentice” type bought a donkey from a farmer for £100 and the farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day… 

The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey's died.' The “Young Apprentice”  replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that, I've already spent it.' The “Young Apprentice” said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?' The “Young Apprentice” said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'  The “Young Apprentice” said, 'Sure I can, watch me, I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month or so later, the farmer met up with the “Young Apprentice” and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' The “Young Apprentice” said, 'I raffled him off, I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898' 

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' (now hears the clever bit!)

The “Young Apprentice” said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two pounds back.' 

The “Young Apprentice” is rumoured to now work for the Royal Bank of Scotland. 

                                                                   Says it all really!
