Have you ever had Ôflu?

It is an unpredictable virus that cancause mild or unpleasant illness in


most people. It can also cause severe
illness and even death among vulnerable groups. 


For this reason the NHS gives free Ôflu injections annually

to particular groups of people. This includes those over 65 
years of age, women who are pregnant, young children, thosein care homes, people with long term ill health or disabilitiesand those who are their carers. 

Prices Mill surgery will have its supply of flu jabs delivered 

by September 16th. 

It is writing to all eligible patients giving them more detailsabout when and where they can have their injection. 
If you are protected it helps to minimise the spread of the

virus and others suffering so please take up the offer if you

Jinny-Mae Cook (18) worked at Claire Frances 
Hair Design until November 2014 when she was 
tragically killed in a car crash. 
Claire Uzzell and her staff at the salon wanted 
very much to remember and honour Jinny-Mae and
all others who die so young and to have something
erected where people can sit, look and think of positive
things about those who we have lost in their tender 
years. 
Kim Frances created the sculpture and Claire and
her staff raised the £6,000 needed with charity walks 


and mountain hiking, fashion shows, raffle prizes and 

more. 

ÒThe concept of this piece is based on the feelings of uplifting and releasing É people may see two sets of hands, a pair 
of wings and the setting free of doves, of siblings, of loved ones. It is a positive sculpture to bring hope and promise and to 
allow us to ponder and remember,Ó says Claire. 

There are many locals who helped so much in this project and Claire and her team are so very grateful. You know who 
you are - thank you!

A load of Rubbish? An octogenarian ofNewmarket made a plea to SDC regarding the nuisance ofhis waste recycling. 

His property is on a very steep slope, not unusual in theNailsworth area as we all know. 

Unlike many, his car occupies the garage of the property 
and therefore a full sized wheelie bin could not be 
accommodated without obstructing his access. 

Our correspondent was somewhat perplexed as to whatto do with his Ônew grey binÕ which Òpartially obstructs my 
side entrance and the steps going to the first floor of mytown houseÓ. This he considered Òan access obstruction for 
the Postie and any other delivery personsÓ. 

Our gentlemanÕs main objection is that, as a lone 

pensioner, he has no chance of filling these containers to a 

quantity that makes collection seem practical compared withthe amount of waste his is producing. He adds that there are

many pensioners who may feel the same way. 

We and SDC have sympathy for 
the situation and the latter have 
clarified what waste is to go intowhich bin for his edification and 
offered the following comment:- 

ÒWe are required to provide 
a refuse bin for each property, 
regardless of the number of peoplewho live in each one. For us to 
provide different sized bins based 
on the amount of waste a household 
produces, every time occupancy ina property changes we could findourselves swapping the bins inorder to suit the individual needs. 

The costs of providing this


service would be significant and would ultimately fall on

tax payers. Over the life of the collection contract we couldend up swapping thousands of bins as families get larger 
or smaller, when people move home or their circumstances 

change; this would not be an efficient use of the councilÕs 

resources.Ó

Oliver Denning and Tayyibah Mullawere presented with the award at theYouth Club AGM by Margaret.

many years. 
The award recognises the good work that goes on by many 
of the young people at the youth club. 
During our work experience placementat Nailsworth Youth Club we had a look 
at all the activities available for youngpeople in our community. 
We discovered that there is lots to do, 
much of it being free. One of the neweradditions is the outdoor table tennis table

children achieving the schoolÕs best ever exam results in the 13+ common entrance 
exam which helps them pinpoint their future senior schools. Back at base the 
new Performing Arts Centre resonated with the sound of performances, lessons 
and events, on a daily, sometimes hourly basis, and a new library has been built 
complete with Ôreading tunnelsÕ and giant beanbags. In sport, pupils continued to 
thrive on the schoolÕs Ôsport for allÕ approach, and also achieved some fantastic 
national success including two goldsin the National Prep Schools Athletic 
Championships. 
In the run-up to Rio, children andstaff all took part in a sport free-for-all 
day organised by sports teachers to 
encourage pupils and staff to try new 
activities and spend the day enjoyingsport for sportÕs sake Ð without feeling 
the need to compete. The day was 
inspired by Olympic founder, Baron 
Pierre de CoubertinÕs explanation 
that ÒThe most important thing in the

Nailsworth Phoenix Playmates Nursery 25th Anniversary! 

It all began in a pub! Helen Brereton, a PATA worker, had a grant to start a playgroup 

in Nailsworth. Sally Reay (nee Martin), Annie Amos and Sheila Smith met with Helen 
and decided they could form a committee and Phoenix Playmateswas born. 


Their first base was the old library room in Highwood School. It

was there that Peter Martin, Ricky Hudd, Kayleigh Freebury and

Danielle Amos, to name but a few, became the first children to 

wear the green Phoenix uniform. 
Helen ran the group for two terms then left and Sue Buftonbecame the leader, a role she had for 23 years. Generations of 
children fondly remember their time with Mrs Bufton. 
At this point the group moved into the empty Stroud Art College 
rooms, in the same grounds as Highwood School. A Toddler group 
run by Alison Sykes was started. 
When Nailsworth 
Primary School moved 
to its present location,
Mr. Bruce Hall (Head),
managed to secure aterrapin building for theplaygroup. Thank you Mr. 
Hall! This remained home 
until 2010 when the school 
made available an area 
for Early Years within the 
present building. 
During the last 25

years at least 500 children have benefitted from the support of Phoenix Staff. The future 

looks really exciting. There is a new room for 2 year olds which is back in the old, now 
refurbished terrapin building, and a fantastic outside learning areas for all the children,
sponsored by Lloyds Bank and Tesco. 

The group, called Phoenix Playmates Nursery, is a charity and over the years committee 
members, ie. parents, have worked tirelessly to raisefunds and support the staff. The current facilities are a 
credit to everyoneÕs hard work and commitment. 

On Saturday 24th September at 2pm, there will be a 
party to celebrate their 25th Anniversary, at the school. 

All children and families who are past and presentmembers of Phoenix are welcome to attend. Please goand join them to see the wonderful facilities and enjoyreliving the past.

Youth & Schools 
Ahot 
topictrending 
across 
social 
media 
in the 
Nailsworth 
area is antisocial behaviour 
amongst the townÕs teens. 
ÒVandalismÓ and Òpolice 
involvementÓ are words 
becoming too familiar toNailsworth citizens and I believe 
itÕs time to make this change. 
I would like to begin bysaying that I am appalled bythe allegations and if they areaccurate, I would like to expressmy shock and disappointmentthat some people in my age groupare letting our entire generationdown. 
As a community we rightly havelittle tolerance for disruption andunruly destruction by anyone,
let alone teenagers and youngadults. However, I would also 
like to point out that only a smallminority of youths are involvedin these antics and the majorityof young people are perfectlyresponsible members of society. 
It would be really good to hearfrom any young people in ourtown who are worth boastingabout or would like to tell their 
story of good deeds, so perhapswe can change the commonmisconception of Ôtroubled teensÕand hear some good news! Pleaseget in touch at:

he Vault in George Street now appears to be firmly on the Nailsworth 

map. The old bank building has recently been superbly revamped into a 

modern place to Òeat, drink and be

merryÓ and is popular both locally

and from further afield. 
With many original fittings and 


new lighting and comfy sofas, it has
all the qualities going to make any
visit one to remember. 


So what is The Vault? It is not 
just a wine bar but that little butmore. ÔWine, Tapas, Cocktails and 
Fusion FoodsÕ are the name of the 
game. A select choice of wines and 
also speciality beers (ShepherdÕs Delight for example) and lagers, it also has a 
growing reputation for cocktails too! ÒÔThe Nailsworth BrambleÕ is our own inhouse 
gin cocktail and well popular.Ó 
[Ed. Yes! we can clarify that!] 


Fine wines and drinks can be sought

almost anywhere, but what makes The 

Vault that little bit special is the cuisine. 

With chefs Nacho and Tiago, both with 

2* Michelin restaurant experience, the

food is of the highest quality - whether

vegetarian, gluten free, vegan etc., it is

all made on site with produce locally

sourced or for ÔspecialsÕ from Bristol. 


To a total novice of such things, what 

would be suggested for an evening out? 
ÒPlates to share! Different plates, different dishes from starters to puddings 


- dive in and share! Always popular are the punchy Mediterranean dishes with 
strong favours - Tiger Prawns, Herefordshire flamenquitos, crispy filo black 
pudding parcels, octopus in olive oil and paprika and finished with an almond


tart.Ó From the menu, it all looks superb! 
From noon onwards one can pop in and have a quick drink and lunch or in the

evenings a Ôfine diningÕ experience with table service if needed in the spacious 


and atmospheric mezanine gallery. 
Parties can be accommodated from 12 - 60 

guests and already this is proving popular. 

Call in and see for yourself and sample the

occasional cocktail while you are passing by -

you wonÕt be disappointed. 

Live music is also being arranged on a regular

basis and further Ôvery interesting spacesÕ being 

opened up for guests! 

The web site is comprehensive and givesfurther details and sample menus - worthlooking at!

St. GeorgeÕs and Christ Church 
Dear Friends, 
Last month I watched as some 
very tiny creatures jumped into 
something new. I saw some newly 
hatched loggerhead sea turtles 
make their way across the beach 
to the Atlantic ocean and was 
amazed at how such tiny creatures 
kept on heading to the water, 
even when the waves pushed 
them back up the beach again 
and again. Sometimes they were 
flipped on to their backs by the 
strength of the wave (it doesnÕt 
take a very big wave to do that 
when you are only about 5cm 
long). They waited until the next 
wave flipped them back over and 
then carried on. As the sun rose 
I watched as the last few finally 
disappeared into the sea. 
Those turtles are determined to get to the ocean. But just getting 
there can be a challenge. They can be disorientated by something 
as simple as a street light or they can be trapped by something as 
ordinary as the moat around a sandcastle. 
As I watched these tiny creatures literally heading into the 
unknown as the sun cleared the horizon I remembered MikeÕs 
story about the Grand Canyon (check your July issue of NN) and I 
thought how incredible it was that God created the majesty of the 
Grand Canyon and the tiny turtle I was looking at. 
Large or small, God has done an amazing job with His creation. 
And that includes me and you. And thatÕs a great thing to remember 
this September. Why? Well, we often jump into something new 
at this time of year. A new school year, perhaps a new school, or 
university, or experiencing an empty 
nest for the first time. 
Whatever new experience I might 
face this month I find it helpful to 
remember that the God who creates 
the large and the small, cares enough 
to stand with me, love me and is 
willing me to be like the turtle Ð 
determined to succeed. 
Have fun this September Ð whatever 
you are jumping into. 
Every blessing - Mike and Helene.

Get the Point? 

The thought of needles at the GP or the dentist is often 
a major turn-off with people, but Si‰n Elias with her 
acupuncture surgery at the White Practice in Market Street 
is quite assured that there is nothing to worry about at all!
Acupuncture uses the finest needles - slimmer than a hair, can 
hardly be seen and one does not feel a thing! 

What is acupuncture? The space here is too short to give 
a detailed summary of this science (google it or ask Si‰n).
In short it is a form of Ôalternative medicineÕ and a key 
component of traditional Chinese medicine involving thinneedles inserted into the body at acupuncture points. It canbe associated with the application of heat, pressure, or laserlight to these same points. Acupuncture is commonly used 
for pain relief,though it is also used for a wide range of otherconditions.Õ 

Si‰n is a mother of two and for many years worked inLondon in media circles before returning home to this areaafter training as an acupuncturist at Reading. After many 
years of study she is now a full member of the British 
Acupuncturist Council. 

What brought her into this field? Too much insomnia and 

little results from traditional medicines made her try anything 

-acupuncture worked! Si‰n decided to research this science
and become fully qualified to help others. 

There will be those who question acupuncture - Si‰n is very 

Nailsworth made history last 
month, with a resounding ÔYesÕ vote in the 
Referendum for a Community Right to BuildOrder. 

This will allow 10 affordable homes for rent 
to be built at the bottom of Lawnside, and 
for the ÔRight to BuyÕ to be removed. This 
means the homes will remain the propertyof the Nailsworth Community Land Trust 
for ever, and they will be let to people with a 

Nailsworth connection first. 

The CLT has over 200 members who are 
all local residents or workers. They have 
arranged for houses to be built and managedby Aster Homes, a Housing Association. 

There is no cost to the town, the fundingcomes from some grant money, and the rental 
income. The CLT opted for homes to rent, 
rather than Ôstarter homesÕ to buy because 
after the first purchase the latter would just belike any other house, sold at market rates andno longer low cost for Nailsworth residents. 

If youÔd like to be considered as a tenant forone of the homes you will need to be on theGloucestershire Homeseekers Plus list.

open 
to 
this and knows full well that not 
always will patients be cured oftheir problems - she makes thisquite aware from the start of anyconsultation. Working primarily 
with Chinese acupuncture shedeals mainly with Ôenergy and 
channelsÕ - fascinating. 


Business & Community 
ÒIt is safe, no side effects, 
doesnÕt hurt, is painless and 
promotes self-healing,Ó are justsome of the positives that Si‰n

talks about regarding this field. 

Although Si‰n deals mainlywith womenÕs well-being, she 
also has a large number of 
men on her books for all sorts of ailments dealing less withskeletal issues but more physical and mental health matters. 

Si‰n works with local GPs in Nailsworth and the area but 
also works in the White Practice twice a week. Call her for 
an initial chat and see if she can help you:

Nailsworth Farmers Market - Fresh and Local! Nailsworth Farmers Market - Fresh and Local! 
N
N
AILSWORTH MARKET began in the year 2000. This was as the FarmersÕ Market; a means to 
support local farmers and small industries to promote and sell their wares. 

Based in the Mortimer Gardens it has never ventured from this central and easily accessible spot.
Through wind and shinethe Market has never 
failed though it hasexperienced its ups anda few downs. 

A few years ago it 
changed its name to itspresent one due to thefact that the Market 
wanted to be open to

more opportunities than just local farmers! 

A
A
part from cheeses and meats, eggs, preserves, bread

and vegetables, the Market sells plants and flowers,

cards, upholstery, blacksmith works, home made pies, 
wood carving, picture frames and much more. 

Everything is of the highest quality and the Marketeerstake great pride in what they produce and sell. After all, their 
livelihoods depend on it! 

T
T
he area is compact and homely and allows for between16 and 22 stalls depending on space required. Onaverage there are a dozen stalls in use covering all sorts

of crafts, foods and other goods. 
A stall (with canopy) costs only a mere £20.00 (electricity 
is a bit extra) and this has to be a good deal - the chanceto have quality goods on show and for sale with so muchpassing footfall. For 4 hours trading at £5.00 an hour? Notbad! 

I
I
t is important that both local 
traders and the communitysupport each other at the

Nailsworth Market. 
The Market needs more 
regular traders to make a realimpact each month and be a

basis to show confidence and 

show what Nailsworth can gainfrom the trades. 

The public needs to comedown once a month and buya big cheese or a dozen duckeggs, a weekend joint of meat,
that birthday card or a littleÔsomething to treat yourselfÕ. 

Perhaps the local shops canhave a rota where in turn three or four shops all have a stalleach and broaden their horizons - it canÕt do any harm! 

T
T
he Market is also open to Ôone-off Õ stalls. Sometimes just one occasion, or a local business is advertising your toe in the water for a business venture 

All these trades are welcome to a slot if available offers are always available.

Charity & CommunityCharity & Community
Tracy Payne is organizing 
a fund raising event forChildren With Cancer UK. 

Her passion to undertake this beganin memory of her father, Roger 
Marshall, who passed away in 2014. 

Roger was a charity worker himselfand was voted ÔNationÕs Best SantaÕ 
in 2013. Roger appeared on television

in recognition of his achievements as a Santa and a charity worker. 
He was also responsible for turning on the Stroud Christmas lightson several occasions. 

Tracy lives in Nailsworth and wanted to carry on the legacy of his 
love of children but quoted Òalas I look nothing like SantaÓ. Shedecided to help children to combat cancer which is something thatshe feels would have made her father very proud. 

She started with selling on a Facebook page, selling her own itemswith resulting monies going to charity. This quickly escalated and 
she now has 250 members who buy and donate their own itemsevery week. So far Tracy can be congratulated on raising £3,000. 

After a slow start with voluntary donations for her Novemberauction event, Tracy was a little despondent, but hadnÕt banked on 
the generosity of local businesses. They took a little time to digest 
her plea, and then gave generously. 

The event has now received some 39 donated prizes (at time ofgoing to press), but Tracy is very keen to receive more if there is 
anyone able and kind enough to donate for this worthy cause. 

The event is taking place at the end of November. Tracy regrets 
that the venue can only hold some 150 people. These spaces are

Churches TogetherNeil Carmichael, Stroud MP, met over 40 people 
at a public meeting organised by Churches Together 
in Nailsworth during July. 
Those present were concerned with the UKÕs 
policy and practice in relation to the current refugeecrisis and how asylum seekers are treated once theyarrive. It seems that Nailsworth is ready and willingto assist though the question was how?
It was a successful meeting and Churches Together 
Nailsworth will follow up our MPÕs willingness to 
meet again in the future.

Annie Russell is now well established in town as a hairdresser 
and trades under the name ÔHoneystone HairÕ. 

After training at ÔChampneys Health ResortÕ she worked for many 
years in various salons and cruise ships - Ònot as glamorous as one maythink; it was high pressure from dawn to dusk, especially in the lead upto various evening events. It was a great experience and I learnt a hugeamount about various styles, hair types and working to time limits.Ó 

With all this experience and understanding of hair, she rented a chair 
at a salon in Cheltenham and only gave this up when she started afamily. Now she lives here in town and visits customers near and far as 
opposed to them leaving the comforts of their homes. 

ÒPeople like the personal approach, advice and interaction. I spend


time seeing what customersreally want and I make surethe hair can be managedwithout relying on too muchstyling.Ó 

Annie sources natural and 
ethical products as much aspossible and uses popularbrand ÔDavinesÕ but she is 
always open to new ideas andbrands. 

Whether you want Annie for 
the BrideÕs wedding day or 
for a local Prom, then she will 
go that extra mile and prepareeverything beforehand so thatyou can relax and enjoy theexperience. 

Always popular is theÔChildrenÕs Haircut TutorialÕ 

-Annie will teach you howto cut your childÕs hair - you 
never need to take yourchildren to the hairdressers 
again! There is also a follow-up service for this. 

Annie likes to take time and never rushes. Pre-planning is importantto her when a big event is booked so that everyone knows what isrequired and expected. 

Make contact and see how Annie can help, and she also caters for 
men.

Charity 
Emmaus Fashion Show - St GeorgeÕs Church 


Emmaus is celebrating 25 years in the UK this year. 

The connection with the Emmaus Nailsworth shop and St.
GeorgeÕs came about when church members at St. GeorgeÕs 

got together to open the first shop in the town to tackle

homelessness along with other people in the community. 
Since those early days four new shops have opened including 

many more working behind the scenes with ÔCompanionsÕ
(former homeless) to make it happen. The volunteers have 
been incredibly loyal at the shop with some working for 20 
years. 

There will be some fantastic clothes for sale after the show, 
along with accessories and jewellery. Everyone will be inreceipt of a Ôgoody bagÕ to take away too. 

Judy Wheeler, Shop Manager at the charity shopcommented that, Òwithout the people of Nailsworth,
Emmaus Gloucestershire would not exist and the issue of 
homelessness left unaddressed. We are incredibly gratefulto our customers for donations, purchases, and commitment,
plus all who connect with us on occasions like this. I wouldparticularly like to thanks customers for their acceptance andkindness towards our Companions who work in our shops,
many of them have little or no retail experience when theyfirst come to us. It gives the companions (former homeless)
purpose and confidence. 

Many go on to take their place in society which you willhear more about on the night. Come and celebrate with usand bring along your friends for a night of fun!Ó 

Thursday 15th September 7pm.
Tickes £5 and includes entrance, wine and canapes.
Tickets can be purchased from its shop in Market Street.

This enables approximately30 homeless to be housed 
in Gloucestershire. It seems 
fitting that we are using thechurch venue for our fashion 
show and it is the best size to cater for our guests. We hopethat many of you can come along and enjoy a show of funand fashion. It will be a great night out and for a very good 
cause. 
All the proceeds will go to fund the soup runs that areregularly undertaken in Gloucester where food, clothing andbasic supplies are given to the genuinely homeless. Emmauswas recently featured on the BBC South West programmewhere Les Jevins, Support Worker, was interviewed 
regarding this growing problem of homelessness.

Linda Carter and Sarah Stephenson have completedtheir walk along OffaÕs Dyke in aid of MIND and raised a 
magnificent sum for the charity.
As Linda says, ÒWe raised £2430 plus whatever was gift 
aided. It was a hard walk in funny weather with a big stormon the Saturday and then on the Sunday it was very hot. We 
were in two teams. The other team didnÕt do the whole walk, 
they got a lift for 5 miles, then walked the last 3. Sarah andI did the whole thing, I was exhausted but elated. Thanks to 
everyone who donated and supported us - it was worth allthe effort.Ó 
A huge thank you to everyone who supported these noble 
hikers in difficult weather and quite tough terrain. Now thefundraising turns to the Independence Trust and a major 
Musical Event (15 October) in St. GeorgeÕs, Nailsworth.

These visitors are George and Tilly, brother and sister who think theyÕre


more like husband and wife, with Tilly being the boss! 
On the way to have haircuts at Mucky Pups in Nailsworth, these King
Charles cavalier spaniel cross miniature poodle or ÒcavapooÓ had a good 
look around the shop before enjoying a dog biscuit on the way out. 


Tilly likes to be carried when sheÕs tired and sulks when sheÕs been 


naughty and is told off. 
This pair like to sit next to the sewing machines and watch as their owners
stitch away. Perhaps they are getting some ideas to run up a creation for 
the forthcoming Cotswolds Dogs & Cats Home Fashion Show.

George Wilcox has just celebrated his 100th birthday and theNailsworth Mills Bowling Club honoured the occasion with a tripleBowls match between members of NMBC and other local clubs. This 

was followed by a sumptuous buffet supper with a magnificent cupcakebirthday cake just to finish things off! 

George came to Nailsworth in the early 1980s - he vaguely knew

of the area after narrowly missing Haresfield Church in 1940 whenon a training flight in his Blenheim bomber. Severe burns, a time in 

Gloucester Hospital and then a survivor of the ÔDÕ Day Landings in1944, George helped build advanced landing strips for the Allies as 
their armies marched east to Berlin. 

In time, after the War and his playing of bowls in Middlesex, hejoined NMBC in 1985 and was its Treasurer from 1987 to 1991. He 
was a regular winner of Club competitions and has still been very active

in the NMBC League teams and in other matches. In the winter he has run an indoor Bowls team at the Cotswold IndoorBowls Club. 
To chat to George is a real privilege, not just about his War experiences (of which there are many) but also of times past

both here and further afield, and he looks no older than 70. Remarkable! 

Amberley Community Choir

(having several Nailsworth members) tookpart in a massed choir event recently andheld a fund raising concert in the parishrooms beforehand to raise money for Water 
Aid. 

This was very well attended and throughthe generosity of its supporters raised£2,400 which was double its target! 


The Nailsworth Guides has also 
celebrated 100 years in Nailsworth (as featured inthe July Centre Spread) and a wonderful gatheringof 80 past and present Brownies and Guides had acelebration Tea Party at the Sawyer Hall. Tabletopdisplays of photographs and diaries, some goingback to 1920, were on 
show. There was also a 
quick rendition of bellringing from one suchgroup which learnt thisskill some years back. Memories and much laughterwere in abundance all afternoon!

Ken Robinson has just been given a

new passport! 
He can now come and go to Russia as part
of the Award he was recently given at the 
Russian Embassy for his work in WW2. 


This was in ÔOperation DervishÕ where he, 
and thousands of British and allied seamen 
sailed convoy after convoy in the Arctic Sea 
from Britain to Archangel and other ports in 
the northern 
Soviet Union. 

Nazi 
Germanywas tryingto blockade 
Norway andRussia from 

Allied naval support - thousands of men died inthese convoys which were trying to break throughand deliver vital supplies for the war effort. 

Over 8,000 Allied sailors lost their loves in this 
dangerous and appalling exercise. 

Ken received the ÔMedal of UshakovÕ as RussiaÕs 
means of honouring his (and otherÕs) commitment 
and bravery in what many described as Ôthejourney of hellÕ. 

Ken made many missions to Russia from 194445 
for the Merchant Navy and survived to tell thetale and even later survived a torpedo attack whilstserving off Benghazi in North Africa. 

If Ken makes a trip to Russia, he has promised tosend a postcard! 


One Friday in summer, Forest Green Residents 
Association ran an afternoon when pots were made,
leaves were pressed, seeds were planted and beesbuzzed in the background. 

A total of 22 children enjoyed the activities creating a 

lovely atmosphere. 
Thank you to all the experts who created such a fun
time, to all the committee members who came and 
helped and to the children and parents who came. 
See you all again soon.

Opening of new Glass 
Canopy at the Nailsworth 
Subscription Rooms 
The Nailsworth Subscription Rooms are 
proud to announce the opening of their 
beautiful new glass and wood canopy 
and entrance area at the front of the 
building. 
This was largely made possible with a 
£10,000 grant from The Gloucestershire 
Environmental Trust. The main 
structure has now been completed. 
As well as improving the appearance, 
this project has improved the energy 
conservation of that part of the building, 
securing the opening against weather, 
and improving security. 
The new porch and its surrounds will 
Ôtie the building togetherÕ as its 
design has been made to match 
the new doors and 
slope of the roof of 
the workshop. 
An official 
opening is planned 
for early autumn. 
Les Haines, 
one of a group 
of Trustees of 
Nailsworth Youth 
and Community 
Enterprise who 
run the building 
on behalf of the 
community said, 
Ò This is the 
second time in 
recent years that The Gloucestershire 
Evironmental Environmental Trust has 
willingly stepped in to help fund our 
major renovation and modernisation 
programme. The old front entrance 
area was unsightly and spoiled the 
look of our landmark building. 
Now we have something to be 
proud of and it has already led to 
many favourable comments from 
visitors and passers-by.Ó 
Access for the disabled has 
also been improved recently. 
Internal access to the Community 
Workshop, which occupies the 
lower ground floor, now has a 
wheel chair ramp and also a stair 
lift to the closest toilet. 
This new build is part of a project 
to modernise the Subscription 
Rooms, making it fit for purpose 
and aiming to provide facilities 
for education, in particular but not 
exclusively for young people resident 
in Nailsworth and the surrounding 
area. 
After consultation with the 
community, the Nailsworth Youth 
and Community Enterprise now has 
space available for a range of activities 
including; table tennis, yoga, circus 
skills, badminton, musical events, 
dances, harp orchestra and exhibitions. 
The Community Workshops held here 
are very popular and include ÔmenÕs 
shedÕ, upholstery, English longbowmaking, 
wood production workshops, 
wood, stained glass and leatherwork 
classes and courses. Sessions for home 
educated children also occur twice a 
week. 
For more information, please visit

Subscription Rooms, Nailsworth Youth 
and Community Enterprise and the

Shortwood United - It always 
takes a bit of time to get a new squad 
together and Alex Sykes in his first solo 
role as manager has had to juggle with 
new players and get 
them to fit in quickly. 
It was huge shame that 
ShortwoodÕs first game 
was a real thumping 
from Taunton on a 
classic summerÕs 
afternoon. It was also 
a shame that so many 
first team players were 
unavailable for the 
season opener leaving a team to start 
with less experience at this level than 
was hoped. The result could have been 
different but for some poor 
finishing and finding that killer 
through-pass - that will come 
with practice. 
The visit of Hereford was a 
major triumph for Shortwood 
- the result was another 
thumping to a quality team, 
but the hospitality laid on to 
hundreds of away supporters 
was very well received and 
many said that they had Ônever 
been treated so well on the 
roadÕ - brilliant!! 
The season is yet young and 
there will be mountain to climb (again) 
as Sykes and the new team find their 
feet, but the signs are there. The recent 
defeat in the very early stages of the 
FA Cup was not good, 
either as a result or a 
performance and things 
will have to be sorted 
soon before it is too late 
to be amongst the league 
front-runners. Based on 
what the Wood has to 
offer, it is very possible. 
Shortwood has a fine 
reputation of bringing in 
quality youngsters and looking after 
them - Nathan Marks (18) at right back 
looks a really promising young player 
with pace and 
vision and 
in goal (on 
loan for the 
season) is Rhys 
Lovett from 
Cheltenham 
Town FC. With 
the depth of 
experience and 
the nurturing of 
new youngsters, 
the season will 
be another fine 
and exciting 
one.

Rio 2016 - It 
already seems sometime ago now butit is only right andproper to honour andacknowledge the GoldMedal of Peter Reed 
in the Rio Olympics2016. 

After 2 Gold Medals 
in the last 2 OlympicGames we have 
perhaps become alittle blasŽ about our 
ÔNailsworth BoyÕ. 

We have the gold postboxes and probably think little about their meaning 
now - but, PeteÕs achievement is truly 
remarkable. 

Moving up from a MenÕs Coxless 
Four to the Eights Team is quite 
something but to win that as well aftera season of having yet to win is evenmore amazing! 

PeteÕs enthusiasm is there as ever 

- ÒItÕs times like these that you think 
you can do this for ever É I donÕt 
want this to be the end. I feel as strongas I have ever been.Ó 
Whether Pete gets to Tokyo, only 
time and discussions with the RoyalNavy will decide, but we all keep our

fingers crossed. 


Sport 
Commoners Eights - Typical! 

A glorious summer and hardly a drop of 
rain for weeks and then the Annual Eights 
and at 4pm a nasty storm drifts up theSevern and washes the day away. 

Never mInd - dozens of cricketers and 
followers enjoyed the hours of cricket 


beforehand - the BBQ was as excellent as 
ever and the beer tent made some useful 
money too for club funds. 

According to the Duckworth-Lewisformula (does anyone actually understandthis?) the title of Eights Champions wentto The Commoners - well done, though 
few remember seeing any runs scoredthrough the drizzle! 

Nailsworth Phoenix Table Tennis - A New Stroud 
League Season Is Upon Us! 
With the new Stroud League season just a few weeks away 
Nailsworth Phoenix is looking forward to another successfulseason. We have entered eight teams into the league this 
season and again we have two teams playing in the topflight. It must show signs of improvement as more of ourteams are playing to a higher standard and are moving up thedivisions. This season 
we have just two teams in division four and our otherteams will be competing in divisions 
two and three. Although we have lost some players who 
have moved away, we have also gained 
exciting looking new players and our juniors areadvancing at an alarming pace. Not quite 
sure that they will be ready for Tokyo in four years time 
but you never know! 
We are always looking for new players to come and join us 
at whatever level. If you do want to 
come alongplease do butcheck with our 
website as practisenights may bechanging once the 
season getsunder way. Or 
better still give mea ring! (see below). 
We offer facilities to play socially, but also the chance to 
play more competitively in the league 
if you wish. Your first session is Free and refreshments are 
included. 
We look forward to seeing you. Please contact:-

INSIDE OUT 
ÒFor 70 minutes we 
were outstanding!Ó 
claimed Mark Coper 
(manager) after the Maidstone thrashing. That is great news 
for both the faithful and the doubtful. By the showing against 
Southport on Bank Holiday Monday when FGR thumped 
them 5 - 1 (and it could have been many more) it was another 
high tempo performance and for 70 minutes the team was 
pretty good to watch as well! But, it has taken a bit of time to 
get to this stage and fair enough, with a predominantly new 
squad which has to get used to working new systems and 
understanding new roles, it has been a little uncertain for us 
fans to deal with. 

Claims from the hierarchy that the team deserved the wins 
against Gateshead and York (very late goals on both occasions 
and one was a sheer 


fluke) did not fall 

easily on the ears of 
the regulars - FGR 
did get wins but were 
hardly the better side 
on each occasion - in 
fact they were lucky 
not to lose both 
games!

and then waiting 
for the penetrating 

forward pass now appears to be played with more confidence 

and the players are coping well with this new system. Until 

recently, defenders and midfield enjoyed plenty of possession 

but there was no forward cut and thrust for the strike force - it 
was quite depressing! 

If we can have more Ô70 minutes of outstanding footballÕ on 
a regular basis, then the fans will be happy and the goodwill 
will feed to a wider audience - simple really! 

Look out for Chemial - classy winger with loads of ability 
and in defence Pinnock - calm and assured. Tubbs and Moore 
now seem to be hitting it off up front too, and Noble and 
Robert pushing all the buttons, there is much good to watch 
from many of the team now.
