Laneham and parts adjacent……

The site’s an attempt to pull together all things local around Laneham and surrounding villages. To create a rich source of information all in one spot and obtain input from the local community.

I’m going to add snippets like this for those who may not be too computer “savvy” so apologies in advance to those of you who are! See the links >>>>>>> immediately to the right under the heading “pages” where you can click the link to contact us and make comment or submit a contribution to the blog.

To the right now in the sidebar are categories >>>>> where you can click on the down arrow to choose the subjects of contribution which are of particular interest to you. Just choose the link from there.

The links to the immediate right now show local businesses or businesses of  people living locally of which you may be one. Add your business or submit a press release/review,  just let us know. >>>>>>>>

The purpose  is to create a focal point for all to see what’s happening around and about Laneham, Rampton, Treswell etc and get to know the local area and community better. Our village and those around are incredibly nice places to live and perhaps we may all be guilty of taking them for granted.

There was a time, perhaps not so long ago when the majority of residents were born and bred in and around the area but as the demographic changes then we see more and more people from outside the area choosing to make it their home and as such, the local community changes.

I for one, have just come into my fourth year of living in Laneham and there are still loads of things I don’t know and am finding out on a weekly basis. For instance what’s happening at the local pubs, with the cub scouts, at the Parish Council Meetings etc.

So in essence, with the internet now being the medium most turn to for information, the idea was to use this site as a focal point for all around to share knowledge, air views, provide details of forthcoming events and generally create dialogue locally for the benefit of the whole community.

So there you have it. Please feel free to share your thoughts!

Sharon, John and Michelle host another of their legendary theme nights on Wednesday 27th May at 7pm. Book early to join in and tuck into Serrano Ham cut from the bone together with 5 tapas dishes per person for only £10 per head.  Should be a great night and rumours locally (yet to be confirmed) suggest Sharon and Michelle may be tempted to show their prowess in Flamenco and John could be recounting tales & showing off his bull fighting scars later in the evening. Torro Torro!!

I was up early this morning and came across the squirrel again, making his way towards the bird’s nuts. He didn’t like the look of me at first and shot off in a hurry but soon became nosy and made his way back tentatively. They must be really good because he had to have another go at them!

On Friday 8th May at 7.30pm.

A hugely entertaining depiction of the English abroad, John Godber’s comic masterpiece performed by the Ratatat Theatre Co Ltd’s UK Tour.
