The AGM which should have been held on 22^nd May to conclude the 2019 – 2020 series we hope will be held before September to enable the transfer of the various roles. Although meetings are usually held at Worksop Cricket Club, meetings may also be held at different venues. The proposed programme will have to respond to Government guidelines and change accordingly.

Meetings are held at the Worksop Cricket Club commencing 10.00 am for 10.30 am unless otherwise stated.

The object of all Probus Clubs is to promote fellowship amongst members by holding regular meetings and social functions. All Probus Clubs are non-political and non-sectarian.  The club now has a membership of about 50 with high attendance at meetings.  Meetings are held at the Worksop Cricket Club from 10.00 to 12.00 on alternate Fridays.  Members are encouraged to invite guests and prospective new members.

Club members and guests enjoy talks, often illustrated with slides on a wide range of interesting subjects. Speakers are selected from specialists in their subject and from members who are happy to share a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes.

The club is socially active; lunches are arranged for members and their wives (partners) at the Worksop Golf Club. Overnight trips and day outings are organised and there is a Bowls Section meeting weekly at the local leisure centre.

Rampton Village Hall

Rampton Village Hall was built in 1842 by Rev Charles Westeneys Eyre. The building closed as a school in 1914 upon the opening of Rampton Primary School. The former village school was renamed 'The Hostel' and used by Lady Ellis as both a Sundary School and function room for village activities. Part of the former Manor Estate it was sold in 1927 to become the church hall. Scouts, Guides and Gym Classes started in the 1930's. The first renovation of the hall was in 1924 following a local fundraising event. In 1969 the Parish Council raised a precept of 4d per household that year for its next renovation.

We meet every Wednesday for informal Basketball playing. From September to April we play in the Doncaster Central Venue League.

The Centre uses the history of genocide as a model of how society can break down, and emphasises how current and future generations must carefully examine and learn from these tragedies. The Centre promotes respect for human rights, equal opportunities and good citizenship, which has greater resonance than ever in our culturally diverse society.

The Holocaust Centre provides a range of facilities for people of all backgrounds to explore the history and implications of the Holocaust.

Rotherham Heroes Volunteer Programme

26th March 2020

We are aware that many residents will want to help by supporting their neighbours or others who may be in self-isolation, and that there will be residents in need of help with some tasks who will not be sure who they can turn to. We are working together with Rotherham Council and the Rotherham Together Partnership to help support and coordinate this activity.

ROTHERHAM HEROES VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME

The Rotherham Heroes Volunteer Programme is a borough-wide volunteer programme, co-ordinated by the Rotherham Community Hub to help vulnerable people across Rotherham during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The Rotherham Community Hub includes Rotherham Council, Voluntary Action Rotherham and other community partners.

WHO CAN SIGN UP?

We want to hear from people who wish to volunteer, and businesses and community groups that can offer help in the coming weeks and months.

We particularly want to hear from community groups and volunteers who can offer help with:

• shopping for essentials
• tackling loneliness
• prescription collection
• pet care / dog walking
• advice and signposting to support services.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

• If you are a volunteer we will match you with a community group who will contact you soon.
• If you are a business willing to help we will link you into the local community organisations in your neighbourhood. We will respond as quickly as we can. We will respond as quickly as we can. Response times will be dependent on the number of enquiries we receive.
• If you are a representative of a community group we will add you to our database, match you with potential volunteers and provide you with the details of anyone who contacts us requesting support.

Please note, we are currently only asking for volunteers to register. Further details on how residents can request help will be available soon.

STAYING SAFE

We want volunteers and neighbours to be safe whilst you help one another out during this uncertain time. We will be providing guidance on this shortly. In the meantime, please refer to the information below on ‘Protecting Yourself and Loved Ones’.

COVID-19

In view of the Government's advice to everyone in the UK to stop non-essential contact with other people, avoid social venues and avoid all unnecessary travel, Ranby Village Hall has been closed from Sunday 22nd March 2020.

With the Government's relaxation of lock down measures, we have now decided to provisionally re-open the hall on 1st September.  

However, the capacity of the hall will be reduced to 30 and social distancing will have to be observed both inside and outside the hall.  The kitchen and store room areas will be closed off, so access will only be allowed to the main hall and toilets.

Written guidelines to cover both the hall and hirers' requirements, that must be followed to enable us to open, have been produced.  Hirers will be required to adhere to these guidelines, which can be obtained from the Hall Booking Secretary ( ranbyvhbooking@gmail.com )

Stay alert, stay safe, protect the NHS.

Originally known as Ranby Club, the hall was built in 1927 by Sir Albert Bingham, as a sports and social club for use by the residents of Ranby and the surrounding area.  You had to be a member and pay a fee, and over the next 30 years it provided facilities for snooker, darts, bowls and tennis.

In 1960 the hall was given to the village by the estate of Sir Albert Bingham, to be run by a committee.

In 1963 it became a charity and was renamed Ranby Village Hall with the trustees being appointed from local organisations.

By this time the various sports facilities had declined and disappeared and the hall could be hired by any group that wished to hold a function.

By 2010 it was recognised that the building needed considerable work carrying out if it was to continue to provide a service to the community. 

Money was raised, grants obtained, designs agreed and after extensive refurbishment work, one of Ranby’s oldest residents, Mrs Mavis Wollerton, BEM, cut the ribbon to declare Ranby Village Hall "open for business" in May 2017.

Extensive works have been undertaken to ensure the hall can be enjoyed by future generations of local people. The hall is an important focal point for the local community, who use it for a wide variety of activities.

COVID19 update 13th August 2020 - Lockdown restrictions have eased and the pubs are open! Provided there is no second spike, they may well have eased further by the time you read this. However, many people are still being very careful about taking risks that might result in exposure to the virus. It is difficult to envisage what the future holds and what the North Nottinghamshire Local Group of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust shall be able to offer its members in the way of talks and activities.

Their winter programme of talks would normally begin in September but even if they are able to offer their usual programme, members might find the risk of attending unacceptable so they are trying to plan for all eventualities. If you would like to have your say, do sign up for email updates and you will be invited to contribute to the discussion in the near future.

The other advantage of signing for updates is that you get regular information on the local wildlife from others in the area who are frequently emailing with their sightings, advice and comments on things such as rare bird visitors, how hedgehogs in the area are faring and progress reports on rescued orphans and injured wildlife. You don’t have to be a member of the Wildlife Trust for this but of course if you are, your contributions go to support wildlife in your area.

If you want any more information or you’d like a chat about things, call Jan on 01777 709974 or 07969 180067 or email janwilliamson133@gmail.com. If you would like to receive email updates of Local Group activities, please email Jan with your request.

We believe in local action. Central to achieving our goals are the efforts of our local groups who work to protect wildlife in their areas. Their activities range from organising walks, talks and practical work on nature reserves to advising on local planning issues and fundraising. 

Our local groups act as the chief focus for voluntary participation across the county. They are run by volunteers and new members are always welcome.  Find out how you might be able to help Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust on your doorstep.

Lifts from the Worksop area to Idle Valley may be able to be arranged. Please email jan_williamson@tiscali.co.uk. Meetings will run on the second Thursday of the month.

The green is open from June 26th, we must all adhere to social distancing guidelines by keeping 2 meters away but this can be managed outside on the green.

If you would like to pop down please can you call Simon on 07876285593 so that we can effectively manage numbers.

£1.50-£2.00 green fees.

COVID19 update 13th August 2020 - Unfortunately we will not be meeting for the forseeble future due to the coronavirus situation. As soon as we can we will start meeting again.  If you would like notified when this happens leave a message on the contacts page or call 01777 704154. The Choir has been 'meeting' on zoom to keep singing alive while we cannot be together.  We have produced a Youtube video of us singing virtually as a record of the lockdown. Click link below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWGQp1D6HLc

Singing is fun, sociable and good for your health. If you are looking for something different to do, why not give us a try.  Having a good sing on a Tuesday evening could be just what you need. We are a big friendly group and we make a great noise together, but we don't have the pressure of preparing for performances which you will find in other choir.

We are a lively choir for men and women of all ages who want to sing for pleasure. The choir was formed in September 2012 with the aim of providing opportunities for anyone from the local community to sing, regardless of musical experience, age or background and to meet other singers in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

We sing, unaccompanied and in harmony, a wide variety of songs drawn from folk, pop, gospel and world music - in fact anything with a good harmony.  Learning is by listening and repetition using Natural Voice methods www.naturalvoice.net

There is no need to read music and no musical knowledge is required, though if you have some, that’s great. The result is a rich, enthusiastic sound but the emphasis is very much on singing for enjoyment rather than for polished performance.

Look for us on Face Book.

Come along to one of our Tuesday evening sessions.

We start at 7.30pm in termtime at St Joseph's Church Hall, Babworth Road, Retford, DN22 7BP. (the Hall is located between the Church and the School)

The game of lawn bowls is suitable for both men & women of all ages to compete on equal terms. It provides gentle exercise, and at Welbeck, in beautiful surroundings. We play friendly matches with other clubs in the area & internal competitions open to all members.

Not sure if it is for you? Why not give it a try (free) just phone. 

£1.00 per session. £40 per year.

COVID19 update, 13th August 2020 - Unfortunately due to Coronavirus we have closed the Bridge Club until further notice, although some virtual meetings are taking place - contact Richard Orme on 01909 488363 for further details.  Once this national emergency has passed we will reopen our doors. Please watch the website for future updates. Please keep safe and we hope to see you in the near future.

COVID-19

Updated 12/08/2020. Dogs are now allowed. Members of RMYC are joining us at the club, see b12. See also 4. clinically extremely vulnerable people. A reminder to everybody that despite and because of the easing of the lockdown measures the number of infected people in the community has not gone down at all in the last 6 weeks. This means that the risk of transmission whilst at the club is still the same as it was when we first started sailing again. Please keep on following to rules as strictly as possible.

 This guidance needs to be reviewed at least once a week. If any members have any safety concerns/suggestions they shall contact the Covid safety officer or a committee member. For latest updates/changes see last part of this guidance.

At all times current government guidelines must be observed. All normal WSC rules to be observed unless changed in this guidance.

The Covid-19 virus is unlike any other flu virus. It is more virulent, it is more contagious and there was no natural immunity at the start of the outbreak, nor is there a vaccine available. This is why it’s so deadly. The Covid-19 pandemic is to stay with us for the whole 2020 sailing season.

Although WSC will do everything possible to facilitate safe sailing, safety at the club is the responsibility of every individual member.

I’ve made the following assumptions:

1. All surfaces in and around the club including our own cars are potentially contaminated.
2. At all times 2 metres distance rule to be adhered to.
3. Only single-handed boat use is safe except for members of same household.
4. Launching/retrieving of rescue boat has potential for transmission.
5.  Use of clubhouse or other buildings has potential for transmission.
6. Opening/closing of gates/use of keypad has potential for transmission.
7. The virus is unlikely to survive for longer than 72 hours on any surface. We therefore only sail on Sundays and Wednesdays and we don’t sail on Saturdays.
8. Rescue operations have to be restricted to absolute minimum, therefore no sailing when wind speed is likely to exceed 15mph.

What all club members need to do.

1. Have stylus/pen or similar in car to use on keypad. Have kitchen roll or similar to touch latches/gate surfaces. Use hand sanitizer when leaving your car when arriving at the club and before getting into your car again when leaving the club

2 . Wear face mask or similar face covering whilst at the club.

3. Have disposable gloves in the car to be used for one off tasks, see C. first person to arrive at the club.
4. Put on your sailing clothes at home so that you don’t have to use the changing rooms.
5. All members to stay at home if feeling unwell and or 37.8 or above. Also to stay at home if new continuous cough or 3 or more coughing bouts in 24hr period.

 Travelling to the club.

1. Press keypad buttons with stylus/pen or similar device and leave in the car.
2. Open both wooden gates by using kitchen roll tissue or similar so that your skin doesn’t touch gate latches/top of the gates.
3. After leaving the car immediately use hand sanitizer. Also after returning to your car to pick up equipment etc..
4. Members from different households are not allowed to travel to and from the club in the same car.

 Whilst at the club.

1.  Avoid any unnecessary touching of any surface whilst at the club. This includes avoiding helping other members with lawnmowers, their boats and other equipment.
2. Bring and use your own (foldable) chairs.
3. If we have to use the clubhouse because of rain etc. only use 1 chair for the whole time that you spend at the club and maintain 2m distance from other members.
4. All members to avoid using toilet facilities by using toilet at home just before travelling to the club. If toilet has to be used at the club use hand sanitizer before entering and after leaving toilet facilities as well as washing your hands with soap and water. Paper towels are available. If you want to wash your hands, please use the outdoors sink. Unfortunately there are no paper towels available at the outdoors sink.

The showers are not to be used.

1. All members are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer and disposable gloves.
2. If any public surfaces, not your own boat, have been touched with your (gloved)hands to use surface disinfectant with a cloth to wipe the surface down. Disinfectant and cloths available in clubhouse and on the hard.
3. When your hands have been in contact with any public surface to use hand sanitizer available on the hard and in the clubhouse.
4. Dogs will be allowed at the club, but shall be kept on the leash at all times. I note that we’re using rat bait around the old clubhouse.
5. All members not to wear gloves unless for sailing purposes or see C.1. It makes it easier to remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.
6. To use hand sanitizer every time you enter or leave the hard.
7. All boats need to have masthead flotation to enable safer assistance in case of capsizing.
8. Members of Rotherham Model Yacht Club(RMYC) to only use the north-western part of the hard(near the old slipway).

 First person to arrive at the club.

1. Park car in front of gate to compound and put disposable gloves on.
2. Open compound gate, clubhouse door, both gates to hard and unlock all 3 doors of old clubhouse. Keep all gates and doors open, if necessary by using wedges/tyres etc.
3. Remove gloves and park car in compound.

 Changes to OOD duties.

1. Rescue boat to remain on the lake or singlehandedly launched from launching trolley/trailer. (Rain)water can be removed by removing (temporarily!) the bung at the back of the boat whilst driving the rescue boat.
2. Only 1 OOD to use the rescue boat and fill petrol tank on any given day, unless assistance is needed for rescue purposes.

3 Races can be organised, but without signing in or out., this rule can be amended once we feel more confident about keeping transmission of virus to an absolute minimum/zero.

4. Race course to be kept as simple as possible to avoid members having to write down the course to follow..
5. At end of sailing the petrol tank to be put in storage near the starter hut and rescue boat to be moored in front of the starter hut or only the OOD to pull safety boat on trolley and trolley to be pulled out by car/lawnmower with tow bar. All gates to be closed and all doors to be locked whilst wearing disposable gloves.

 General safety.

1. No members to visit the club apart from on Wednesdays and Sundays. This is to avoid surface contamination and to avoid the need to regularly clean all the surfaces in and outside the club house.
2. If contact between members has occurred by accident or necessity those members to exchange mobile phone numbers so that the necessary person(s) can be contacted if said member(s) develop symptoms of Covid-19.
3. Anyone showing signs or been diagnosed with Covid19 MUST inform the club, especially if this happens after visiting the club to advise others who may have had contact with them and stay away.

4. The club will allow people at moderate risk (clinically vulnerable) to come to the club, this includes the over seventies, however the club does advise the people in this category to consider their individual risk which can be discussed with the Covid safety officer.

The club will allow people at high risk (clinically extremely vulnerable) to visit the club, but only after discussion with the Covid safety officer.

For details about  both categories see: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/people-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/whos-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/

Sailing takes place on Wednesday 5.30pm - 8.30pm and Saturday 12pm - 7pm. Sunday is usually a racing day, but other sailing also takes place. The club is an RYA accredited training centre, running training courses and is a small friendly, club where individuals or families can join. Sailing is not necessarily expensive. You will be surprised at how competitive the membership fees are. There are club sailing boats, which can be used, and there are reasonably priced second-hand boats on the market.
