The Youth Group rounded off its year with a barbecue in July attended by about twenty of our members. We would like to thank Doris Atkin for allowing us to use her garden and field for this annual event that was enjoyed by everyone. We still haven’t recovered the Frisbees!

We meet every Wednesday evening in term time in St Wilfrid’s Church from 7.00pm to 9.00pm. Our first Youth Group evening of the new term will be on September 15th.
As a result of requests for fishing at Greenacres from the survey in the Parish Plan, the Parish Council has agreed in principle to allow limited fishing provided that it can be con- trolled and policed. A members only club will be formed at Brookfield.
A meeting will be held at the Brookfield Club on 7th September 2010 at 7.30pm. Any persons who are interested in fishing or are willing to help with the establishment of the fishing club would be most welcome. The next wave of free health checks will soon be held across South Derbyshire. South Derbyshire District Council is offering Body MOTs at various locations as part of its commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle. The MOTs are taking place in the week commencing September 6 and are following on from successful checks held throughout year. People are invited to come back to help monitor their progress. Assessments include measures of heart health (including blood pressure readings), lung function, weight management (to include BMI and body fat percentage) and the level of carbon monoxide in the blood. A trained exercise professional will also be on hand to offer advice about exercise, physical activity, diet and nutritional information. Lewis Adams, Community Sports Coach at the District Council said: “We hope these health checks will make people think about their lifestyles – how active they are, if they smoke and what they eat. Appointments are not necessary.” The first check will be held from 2pm to 4pm at Etwall Library on Monday, September 6. Further sessions are scheduled at Swadlincote Library between 10am and noon and at the Royal British Legion in Melbourne from 2pm to 4pm on September 7. On Wednesday, September 8, Etwall Leisure Centre is hosting the MOTs from 10am to noon, before the Old Post Centre in Newhall takes its turn between 2pm and 4pm. The last session is due to be held at the Greenbank Leisure Centre in Swadlincote from 10am to noon on Thursday, September 9.
