INSIDE CORNER
Another New Year, it seems to come round
faster each year together with more grey hairs. Looking back over the year we
seem to have covered a huge variety of news and local events and it has been a
real joy to me to report on some of these, especially those working to support others.
Our sincere thanks to all who have supported
us in any way over the year: your help and encouragement, financial as well as
practical, give us a great deal of confidence as we go forward into 2011.
With a very happy New Year to you all.

Putting the X-Factor back into Christmas
Ruth, on behalf of the
Wellesbourne Churches Together, would like to thank all the people who joined
in the project of Putting the X-Factor back into Christmas. Each of the
different Nativity Crib Scenes in the 56 different places around Wellesbourne
celebrated the Birth of Christ in their own unique way; a wonderful gift to us
all providing lasting joy and sustenance both at Christmas and throughout the
year. We hope that seeing so many visual reminders of the true meaning of Christmas
enhanced your enjoyment as you went round looking for them. The beautiful
displays were well worth the visit. Thank you all so much.
County Council special offer
– save £££s by recycling
Warwickshire households are throwing away
the equivalent of almost £450,000 per year by not recycling more, according to
latest figures from the Warwickshire Waste Partnership.
On average, Warwickshire residents currently recycle 48% of their waste. If this
is kept at the same level, the rising cost of sending rubbish to landfill will
burden the taxpayer with an extra £445,000 next year.
If each household recycled just one extra glass bottle, or equivalent weight,
each week, this would achieve a 5% increase in recycling and an annual
reduction in waste of 13,400 tonnes as well as producing a total saving of £878,000
– or £3.98 to each household.
The rising cost of landfill tax, is £48 for each tonne of waste sent to landfill
and this will rise by £8 each year. This will have to be met by the taxpayer,
so these figures show just how important it is for everyone to recycle.

ZUMBA comes to Wellesbourne!
Ditch The Workout & Join The Party!
NoBody's Perfect Ltd is proud
to announce that ZUMBA, the latest dance fitness craze that's taking the world
by storm, is coming to Wellesbourne on Monday 10th Jan.
Zumba is a Latin rhythm
inspired low impact exercise class that uses easy to follow dance moves
that are designed to maximise calorie burning.
Ian Parker, Director of
NoBody's Perfect Ltd, a local fitness company that has been running group
exercise classes for over 25 years, said “This is the most popular class format
I have ever taught. Of course, as an ex-professional Latin-American ballroom
dancer and teacher I'm biased! I love seeing the people leaving at the end of
the class with a big smile on their face. It really is exercise in disguise!”
“I think the popularity of
programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing has really helped attract people to
ZUMBA. They get to move to great Latin sounds and rhythms without the need for
a partner. The class is structured, safe with simple moves that everybody can
do. This makes ZUMBA a fantastic way to get fit and have FUN at the same time!”
January Timetable:
Monday, 6.15pm, Lighthorne Village Hall Opposite the Antelope Inn,
Monday, 8.00pm, Wellesbourne CofE Primary School, Mountford Close.
There are classes in
Leamington on Tuesdays &Thursdays. Please visit
www.zumbawarwickshire.co.uk for
more information or call Ian on: 07974 913524.
Party yourself into shape!
