Local Firefighters Quest to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Guilsborough Firefighters Mark Hazle
and Staci Leach are taking the
challenge in February 2011 to climb
Mount Kilimanjaro.
They are raising money for a charity that is close to their hearts, The Fire Fighters Charity. This charity aims to provide both excellent facilities and an unparalled service for Firefighters who have been injured in service.
Every year, thousands of Firefighters are injured whilst protecting the public. Every 30 seconds in the UK Firefighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Firefighters Charity is here for Firefighters during their times of need, and assists over 17,500 individuals every year in one of their 3 UK centres located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex.
It costs over £9 million every year to keep the charity running, and with no government funding, the charity is completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed.
In order to achieve their goal they need to raise as much money as possible and have set their target at £6500. You can help them by donating through their JustGiving page (see address below); the collection tins which are sited in the local pubs, shops and businesses or by offering prizes for their ‘Auction of Promises’ which will be held in the spring of 2010.
If you can offer any form of help to the pair, whether it be giving of prizes for the Auction and Raffle or sponsorship of equipment for the challenge they will be more than happy to hear from you. They can be contacted on the numbers below:

Artificial Flowers Are Going Missing!!
We’ve got a bit of a mystery in Guilsborough’s Church Yard. It appears that one grave keeps having the artificial flowers removed and although under current guidelines from Peterborough they aren’t really permitted, it seems strange that they keep disappearing from just the one grave.
Has anyone any ideas where they are going?
It has been suggested that maybe an animal has a nicely decorated den somewhere but the family concerned would dearly like to know so if you’ve any information as to what is happening to them please contact one of the editorial team. Details are on the Contact Us page.
The Panel consists of:
Nick Warliker: Head gardener to the late Princess Alice of Gloucester & columnist in the Evening Telegraph for 25 years, judges shows and gardening events including Shrewsbury and Sandringham.
Phylip Statner: Gardener of Cottesbrooke Hall near Creaton . Studied Horticulture at Askham Bryan College, worked for prestigious private residences and large Estates from Aberdeenshire to London, including the American Ambassador’s residence on Regents Park. He has travelled widely, exploring the plants and gardens through Asia worked for several months at the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens in Cape Town South Africa. He has also worked at Daylesford Gardens where he was in charge of the organic glass houses, and assisted in the floral displays with Lady Bamford.
Kathy Brown: Journalist and garden designer from Stevington Bedfordshire, where the 4.5 acre Manor House gardens include a famous topiary garden of a 12 man jury.
Susie Pasley-Tyler: Gardener and designer of Coton Manor gardens, which third last year in the UK’s top favourite gardens.
The recording starts at 19:30hrs with a break after 45 minutes, when refreshments are served, followed by 70 minutes of further questions. Those with questions need to contact the organisers in advance. Any question can be asked, the choice is yours, but some tips. Some questions frequently crop up and so it is best to avoid our “hardy annuals” or slug and snail control and pests on indoor plants. However that leaves a lot of scope, and questions that introduce humour are especially welcome. You are encouraged to bring along a sample,-the more unusual or exotic the better. The knowledgeable team has wide experience of all types of gardens; large and small, country and town, landscaping, planning and design, water gardens, vegetables and fruit, show blooms & greenhouses-a really good chance to solve your problems. The teams will not have prior knowledge of the questions, the first they know of the question is when you come to the front to ask it.
Tickets from organisers: Gay Webster 740203 or Graham Byars 740545. Cost £4.00.
