FOLK TALES OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE – Pete Castle. Author and Folk Singer. <br />

Passed from generation to generation, Nottinghamshire’s folk tales have
been gathered by Pete Castle, author, into a book. It includes outlaws
and of course Robin Hood; the clever Men of Gotham; witches, ghosts and
vampires as well as noble lords and thwarted lovers. A new speaker for

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This week is ideal for people who
want to get a proper introduction to professional excavation
techniques. They will be excavating the foundations of an ornamental
gateway at the north end of the Broad Drive, near to the mill. This is
part of a project to
preserve the remaining stonework with a view to potentially reinstating
the ornamental gates. The dig day will commence at 9.30am and finish
at 4pm, with time for lunch in the middle.</span></span></span></span></div>

garden features to see if we can see evidence of their layout. The dig

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the first sunrise of the summer comes up over the horizon
to gently touch on Laxton’s ancient fields and hedgerows, the most wonderful
place to watch is from the small hill that is the remains of the village’s old
motte and bailey castle.<span> </span>And who better
to enjoy that with than the local morris side, Rattlejag, and their friends and
supporters, who arrive there from around 5.20am every 1<sup>st</sup> May to
dance and sing in the May Day dawn.<span> </span>And
they give a warm welcome to anyone who wants to share that magical moment with
them and will even provide a barbecued breakfast buttie and beer – or hot tea –
after the revels in return for a small donation.<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1366306844174_2369"> </span>It must be a special time, as many people
have been returning to rural Laxton, Notts, for this early morning celebration for many years
over the 30 and more it has been happening, so it has become an established
local tradition now.<span> </span>Find the site by
going up Hill Lane opposite the church (NG22 ONX) and across the field – do come
in warm and sturdy clothing.<span> </span>Rosemary
Fabian, the side’s “squire”, says “we will all be there whatever the weather,
so come and join us.” <span> </span>Rattlejag have
further information available through their website <a href="http://www.rattlejagmorris.org.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.rattlejagmorris.org.uk</a> or you

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The annual walk to Thynghowe takes place on <span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1366305553028_3603"> Saturday April 20<sup>th</sup>.
This event is inspired by the perambulations of the Lordship of Warsop
as recorded in the document from 1816 that influences much of our
work. The walk will start at 10am and progress will be slow as we will
pause to hear accounts of past events in the woodlands. There are many
stories to tell including tales of ancient stones, the influence of the
Dukes of Portland, the legacy of World War II and Viking age assemblies
from a thousand years ago. We also take in the wildlife and plants and
reflect on the impact of changes in woodland management over the years.</span></span></span></span></span>

Despite the decision to Close Worksop Tourist Information Centre in 2005 was overturned Bassetlaw District Council are at it again! This time the excuse of saving money has been put forward as the reason (anyone else noticed the not so cheap village signs that have popped up recently?). The reason less people are visiting is that it is hidden away now from the general gaze of people since the library moved. A new town centre location should be found and the TIC promoted. <br />
<br />
We lost Worksop Museum several years ago and the council have done nothing for the Towns history - Soon tourists will have no face to face contact with people who can guide them around the areas best visitors spots.<br />
<br />
a petition is available in the TIC in the Old Library on Memorial Avenue - please sign it to keep Worksop from finally becoming the back end of nowhere.<br />
