Cameo Club of Kirkby on Bain and Roughton Meeting- Tuesday 19th Sept : Grandma’s Pudding Company – Talk by Carol Goulding.
We sat down to listen to a talk about what we expected to be the usual description of a café business with some sample treats to jolly us along. This couldn’t be further from the truth which we discovered very soon as Carol began her story about her life, dreams, ambitions, tragedies, joys, heartaches and downright pleasure her establishment gives to her and what she gives to it, which is her whole self.
She began by putting a quote up from the Kevin Costner’s film ‘Field of Dreams’: ’If you build it they will come’. As Carol said where she is in Friskney, is in the middle of nowhere, but people come to her from far and wide. Her logo is a tea pot and a listening ear, coloured gold, black and white. Her company is a CIC: Community Interest Company, Not for Profit which relies on donations and sales. She acquired this dream 27 years ago while caravanning in Kent when they visited a vineyard where they were served by the disabled. She has a disabled daughter, Sam who, when she left college at 22, had nowhere to go. As all parents of disabled children do, is worry what will happen when they die if their offspring have no outlets, social skills or means to support themselves? Continue reading

Kirkby on Bain Parish Council Meeting – Thursday 7th Sept – Discussion Report
A jolly good mood was apparent at the start of the meeting and our Chair was very pleased to welcome both Councillors Kemp and Leyland to the session, a first for a while. Five members of the public were also present.
New Speed Signs
These were greeted as a very welcome addition to the village and thanks to Councillor Armitage for erecting the devices and getting them working. He fed back that the top speed shown is limited to 60mph to avoid those of a mind to see how high they can make it go!!!He also fed back news from Roughton Council who have had the use of the Speed Gun. They report a noticeable slowing of traffic when the high viz jackets are spotted and only three so far have been clocked over the limit. Continue reading

Hello. This is quite a strange query. I am trying to find the filming location of a wartime film and there is a long shot it could be in your village. It’s the 1942, “One of our Aircraft is Missing”. There is a football scene and I wonder if it was filmed on and around Red Mill Bridge. The film and scene can be found here from 1.03.40 https://youtu.be/7Uv7hsFuy2w?si=lUJWrzUY2PMROq0J
Those in the scene inc some based at RAF Spilsby. Does the Red Mill Bridge have 3 arches like this one? Any help would be most welcome. Thank you and best wishes

Cameo Club of Kirkby on Bain and Roughton – Meeting 15th August
Reporter – Jill Russell
Unfortunately, the scheduled speaker was unable to come at the last moment so our Chair, Louise, devised an impromptu quiz to fill the gap.
We were in teams of 4/5 and Louise shuffled us about a bit to mix up friendship groups. She gave us 30 questions which we then marked. It was very close with two teams sharing the win: ‘The Unknowns’ and ‘No Idea’.
After refreshments we had a picture quiz to complete, which proved quite challenging, and was won by ‘The Dragonflies’.
To complete the evening Louise informed us of the progress of the Summer Fair, 26th August, to be held at the Coronation Hall 11.00am – 3.00pm. Continue reading

Cameo Club of Kirkby on Bain and Roughton July Meeting Report by Jill Russell
Francis Ward, Complimentary Therapy Practitioner from West Ashby came on Tuesday 18th July to give us a talk on her specialism, Reflexology.
She began by explaining what Reflexology is: the manipulation of either feet or hands to create balance or rebalance in the body. She went through the parts of the feet and hands which correspond to parts of the body systems, working from the tips of the fingers corresponding with the brain, fingers with the sinuses, across the hand below the fingers with the lungs, then working down the palm with the diaphragm, then the liver and gall bladder, stomach, intestines and so on. The heart focused on the pad below the thumb with adrenal gland close by. Francis explained that Reflexology is suitable for all and that people come to her with anxiety, stress, depression and physical pain. She would then aim to give them wellness goals and put a plan together over a number of sessions. The aim is to facilitate the body to heal itself through relaxation, lying back aiming to get the immune system going, getting rid of toxins, eliminating pain, getting oxygen flowing and improving circulation.

Kirkby on Bain Parish Council Meeting Thursday 13th July
Due to a double booking of the Hall, by the school, the meeting was diverted to a classroom. Members of the public were present but had no issues to raise. There were no representatives from outside bodies present.
Community Speed Watch Scheme. The camera and necessary equipment is to be purchased forthwith after some confusion after the last meeting. Also it was agreed Councillor Armitage would be the main holder of the camera and a nominated person from Roughton Council should be nominated, due to the camera being used jointly. Training for the use of the camera will be organised by the clerk. It now has to be a training session, not just on line, so a date will need to be agreed by all those wishing to be part of the scheme. Councillor Midgely agreed to pass on to Councillor Russell the last poster, used to advertise the scheme, for her to update. Anyone not already approached wishing to join the scheme should contact the clerk or Councillors Armitage or Russell. Councillor Russell agreed to contact all those who have already expressed an interest in being involved.
