The Village Hall Committee are hoping to commence bingo sessions at the Village Hall.

The first of these is planned for Tuesday 14th September 2010 commencing at 7:30pm. Further sessions may follow depending on the response from villagers and friends in September.

A general invitation has gone out inviting Old Soldiers, Villagers, friends and relatives to commemorate 65years since WWII. Get your old uniforms out (if they still fit) dust down your demob suits and head for Sutton Village Hall on Saturday 25th September 2010. Personnel should muster at 19:00hrs at the said venue where they can avail themselves of a 3 course War time themed meal. Music of the era, and entertainment by a surprise artiste. (Vera Lynn – otherwise engaged)

Sing-a-long to “Songs that won the War” - support a special “Help the Heroes” raffle 40’s dress optional BUT encouraged!! come along and enjoy a pint of Wallop from the licensed bar available whilst “Commemorating VE Day” Tickets are priced at £10.00 and the event is organised by the Sutton, Blyth and Ranskill branch of the Bassetlaw Conservatives Association.

It sometimes felt as though time had stood still down on the family farm - swallows nesting in the eaves, the old Fordson tractor quietly rusting at the back of the barn, Grandpa still tending his chickens - that is, until the Summer his grandson finished school and came to stay, and the old man started telling stories of what it had been like on the farm when he was a boy.

Award-winning former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo has written a compelling sequel to his much-loved novel War Horse, a moving account of the changing face of the English countryside and a beautifully-crafted reminder that stories really can reach out across the generations.

The Bavarian evening planned for Saturday 23rd October has become so popular it is now over-subscribed. A reserve list for tickets is now in operation. Patrons are asked to pay for and collect their tickets as soon as possible for the event which cost £15.00 and will include traditional meal and live entertainment by Karls Bavarian Brass. Guaranteed fun for all – not to be missed.

Tickets are priced at £15 (includes food and live entertainment) and are available now by contacting Sharon on 07976 696 359 or reserving online at http://www.suttonvillagehall.net.

Lederhosen optional!

Following a prolonged stand off between Nott’s CC Highways and the Parish council, the new weight limit has now been applied to the parish and all signage changed.

The new limit prohibits any vehicle capable of weighing 18tonne or above from passing through the village to destinations beyond the parish boundary, i.e. Daneshill landfill or Tarmac.

Any lorry with more than the standard two axles should be regarded as unauthorised and in breach of the regulation. The weight limit is in force to protect the environment of the parish and reduce any environmental impact on its parishioners, i.e. Noise nuisance.

Members of the public are being asked to make a note of lorry registrations, where the lorry has more than the standard two axles, and report the vehicles presence in the, giving date and time the registration was seen, to either the Police, Nott’s CC Trading Standards dept or the Parish Clerk.

The new 18tonne limit replaces the old 17tonne limit in line with European legislation passed in 2002. This work should have been completed by Nott’s CC by Dec 2006, but a stand off occurred when the Parish Council sought to secure a 7.5tonne limit and give the maximum protection to the community from environmental impact from these heavy vehicles. The Parish Council are still pursuing the lower 7.5tonne limit, and hope to be included in the next County review on weight limits.

The main areas of concern are the main approaches and the main road through the village, where vehicles are regularly seen driving well in excess of the 30mph limit. The Parish Council have successfully won a grant from Bassetlaw Council to fund these signs, so they are able to offer these free of charge to any household wishing to take part and support the campaign to reduce the speed of vehicle passing through the village.

It is hoped that residents on Mattersey Rd, Town St, Sutton Lane, and Station Road will all choose to support this campaign. The signs will be allocated on a first come first served basis whilst stocks last. Anyone wishing to take part should contact the Parish Clerk, Peter Roberts.

Nott’s County Council Highways don’t use speed limit reminders within the limited area for any road less than 30mph, therefore it falls to the Parish Council and concerned individuals to take this proactive step to drive the on-going education of motorists passing through the village.

Use our message boards to make your point. Please use these sensibly.
