Carlton choir set to play Nottingham’s Albert Hall

Carlton Male Voice Choir can be heard at their Festival Concert being held at Nottingham’s Albert Hall on April 22.

The city’s largest lower voice choir is also hosting special guests Pitch and Mix at the event, an A Cappella Barbershop choir adding another style.

The concert has been dubbed “The calm within the storm” by musical director Ian Watts.

Carlton’s guests also include performers from their Music Team, Roger Holland, John Sellers, and Anne Hall.

The Festival Concert will also feature a new piece by local composer David Machell called Evensong, which has been composed specifically for Carlton MVC.

The story is set on a hot summer’s evening in a part of Nottinghamshire, where every window is open to catch a passing breeze. In a back room, a pianist is practicing for an up and coming piano concerto. Not too far away, a choir is rehearsing for evensong. Different as their musical styles are, the two sounds seem to blend in the hot night air, taking the inhabitants on an unexpected journey of meditation and calm”.

More about the choir…

Carlton Male Voice Choir is a choir of lower voices led by Musical Director Ian Watts. Performances range from festivals and car shows to concert halls, parks and public spaces often for deserving charity causes and sometimes with guests choirs and artists.

The choir performs a large and varied ‘progressive’ repertoire carefully selected to suit a wide variety of tastes to satisfy their flexible concert performance requirement.

A CMVC spokesman said “We can do this well, both formally and informally when required, we don’t wear blazers, but instead perform in modern cut suits.

“We are not a religiously affiliated organisation and are ‘secular’ although we do sing some religious pieces of music.

“The choir renews its repertoire constantly with new and exciting music for lower voices, rejuvenating and improving its sound. Of course, as a male voice choir we traditionally sing the odd hymn, but we endeavour to remain absolutely relevant and our current repertoire contains all types of music from classical to jazz, pop to opera, we also commission our very own music by local composers; you can see we are certainly not just hymn singers!”

Tickets for the Albert Hall event are available from Eventbrite, https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/festival-concert-by-carlton-mvc-tickets-483124066087 or from Choir members. Tickets cost £15 each with a Group booking offer; bring a party of ten and pay for 9 tickets at £135, 10th ticket free. Minimum purchase is 10 tickets for this offer.

Bakery is on the rise with Carlton Hill move

A popular Sneinton bakery has made moves to take over new premises on Carlton Hill.

The Bakery & Kitchen will open its doors to Carlton Hill customers for the first time tomorrow (Wednesday, 19).

Gedling Eye caught up with Beccy and Mark Wilson as the husband and wife duo were carrying out the final preparations on the new store.

Beccy is not new to the food business and has been running a similar business in Sneinton that traded as ‘The Bakery’ since 2016 providing breakfasts, bread, and cakes for takeaway and delivery.

The move to Carlton Hill means that they now have seating so can provide their large range of fresh food both inside and for take away / delivery.

Beccy told us that they had been looking for a new premises with seating for a while that was not too far from where they were based – and Carlton Hill was ideal.

They had looked at their new property previously and were delighted when it became available again as a lot of their existing customers come from the area.

Beccy said: “We are very excited to be opening on Wednesday and we will be adding new menu items over the next couple of months and our new coffee machine is on its way”.

Beccy and Mark told us that they have been ‘overwhelmed’ by the positive feedback from Carlton Hill locals both on social media and in person.

Mark said: “People have been coming up nonstop, wishing us luck as they see us transforming the premises”.

The Bakery & Kitchen will be open 8.00am – 1.00pm Wednesday to Sunday initially and will be manned by both Beccy and a long term member of staff that has been with Beccy since 2016.

Deliveries can also be ordered through Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.

The Bakery and Kitchen can be contacted on their facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/TheBakeryNottm or by email on Thebakeryandkitchen@outlook.com.

Gedling borough Scouts and Guides to march through Southwell once again!

More than 1,000 young people will be turning out and marching through the village of Southwell on Saturday (22) to honour St George, the patron saint of England.

Scouts and Guides from Gedling borough will join scouts and guides from Southwell, Farnsfield and other parts of Nottingham to march from the Burgage to Southwell Minster for a special gathering and promise renewal before parading from the Minster to the Memorial Field for dismissal.

For many of the young people, attending the St George’s Day Parade will be a brand-new experience, but none more so than for the members of the youngest, and newest Scout Section, Squirrel Scouts (4-6yrs), who will be joining the parade for the very first time following their introduction in 2021.

Consisting of up to four parades, it is expected that over 16 Scout Groups from Central Notts Scout District, covering from Carlton to Southwell, and girls in Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers from Southwell, Westdale and Daybrook Divisions will join together to form a spectacle on the day.

Central Notts Scout District includes groups from Arnold, Burton Joyce, Calverton, Carlton, Colwick, Daybrook, Gedling, Netherfield, Redhill, Woodthorpe and Woodborough while Westdale and Daybrook Girlguiding divisions include the borough areas Arnold, Daybrook, Redhill, Carlton, Gedling, Mapperley and Netherfield.

Ross Bashton, Central Notts Assistant District Commissioner for Media and Communications, said: “Whilst our St George’s Day parade has been taking place for over 60 years, this year’s parade will be special for a number of reasons.

“It will be the first time since 2019 that we will see Scouts and Guides marching through the streets of Southwell following the coronavirus pandemic.

“More importantly, it will be the first time that Central Notts Scouts and Girlguiding Nottinghamshire will have joined together to renew their promises to His Majesty The King, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, patron of both Scouts and Girlguiding, in September last year.”

The parade will march off from the Burgage in Southwell at 2:15pm with the Promise Renewal taking place inside Southwell Minster, before a second parade to Bishops Drive.

Since the pandemic, both Central Notts Scouts and Girlguiding Nottinghamshire have seen an increase in youth membership. We are always looking to welcome more members aged between four and 18 years. For those over 18, you can be involved too as an adult volunteer, passing on your skills and knowledge to the next generation.

Worldwide Scouting has 31 million members both male and female and operates in nearly every country in the world.

Worldwide Girlguiding has over 10 million members across 150 countries in five regions worldwide.

Match Report: Lincoln Utd 1 – 0 Carlton Town

Match Report: Lincoln Utd 1 – 0 Carlton Town

NPL First Division East

15 April 2023

Carlton Town suffered a damaging blow to their hopes of step 4 survival as they lost 1-0 at Lincoln Utd.

The Millers’ destiny remains in their own hands thanks to a combination of other results and the fact that their fellow relegation battlers have to play each other but there was no escaping the fact that this was a hugely disappointing performance.  The side have done well in recent weeks to even get themselves into a position where they can climb out of the bottom four but if they perform like this in the remaining two games they will be plying their trade at step 5 come August.

Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey made three changes to the side which had lost at Worksop last time out.  Into the team came Charlie Marzano, Danny Elliott and Nat Watson, back after his three game ban.  Out went Lawrence Gorman, Lewis Durow and Kyle Tomlin.

Lincoln featured former Carlton supporters player of the year Jack Steggles in goal.

Both sides came into the game level on points in the relegation play-off zone.  Lincoln had the much better goal difference but Carlton had a game in hand.  The winner would go a huge way to securing step 4 safety.

Backed by a tremendous away following approaching perhaps 100, including fans from Manchester, York and Dorking (Dorking!), Carlton got off to the worst possible start and were a goal down after less than two minutes.  A long ball played to the left wing position ricocheted into the path of Tobias Liversidge who had all the time in the world to pick his spot from the edge of the box and fire low past Mikey Emery.

If conceding an early goal might have operated to give some spark to the Millers it didn’t work as they virtually sleepwalked through the first half.  Khyle Sargent and Watson combined midway through the half only for Sargent to overhit a cross while Dean Freeman headed a Niall Davie corner just over the bar.

But in truth Steggles was as much of a spectator as the vocal support behind his goal.  At the other end Matt Cotton hit a long range effort just wide and Liversidge drew a decent save from Emery as he got onto the end of a cross from the right.  But in truth neither side created anything of note in the half after the early goal.

Emery did well early in the second half to tip a Jake Park header over the bar as Lincoln threatened to secure the win with over half an hour remaining.  Moments later Leo Priestly hit a fierce drive across the face of goal with no one on hand to tap home.

Carlton had their first shot on target on the hour mark when Alex Troke hit a fairly tame effort straight at Steggles before the same player fired just wide of the post after some good work from Watson.

With 25 minutes remaining it seemed as if the visitors had finally woken from their stupor.  Niall Hylton, pushed forward after Durow was brought on, advanced down the left and crossed to Watson in space but he mis-controlled and the chance was gone.

Sargent then fired just wide after some decent play from Watson and Troke before Hylton once again ran at the Lincoln defence almost single handed but was blocked at the last.

By now it was all Carlton pressure and the Millers should have been awarded a penalty on 80 minutes when Harry Millard, already on a yellow card, bundled over Watson in the area after another fine run and cross from Hylton.  The referee waved away the claims and the Lincoln manager, who after the game fairly conceded it was a clear penalty, reacted by substituting Millard almost immediately.

Substitute Tomlin lifted a late shot just over the bar and in added time Freeman saw a goalbound shot deflected wide of target but in truth Lincoln defended solidly and were good value for the points.

The Carlton support didn’t let up for the entire game and the players thanked the fans at the end.  They will know they have two games to show that they mean it.

Carlton Town: M Emery, K Sargent, N Hylton, D Brown, D Freeman, J Holmes (K Dixon 57), C Marzano (L Durow 57), D Elliott (K Tomlin 68), A Troke, N Watson, N Davie. Unused substitutes: R Stainsby, L Gorman

MATCH REPORT: Gedling Miners Welfare FC 2 – 1 Clifton All Whites FC

UCL Division 1

April 15, 2023

Miners’ captain Piliero bids farewell in last-day victory.  

The Miners wanted to end a difficult season on a high note having secured safety last week but struggled in a disappointing first half.  

Louis Richardson was called upon early as he denied a fierce strike from the Clifton forward after they broke away down the right-hand channel.  

It was turning into a typical last-game-of-the-season affair with both sides lacking any clear-cut chances. Gedling’s brightest opening came on 26 minutes when Zachary Hill burst away down the right and his cutback was met by Greg Tempest whose effort from 20 yards was blocked and the sides went into the break level. 

Gedling came out the traps better after the restart and on 51 minutes they created a good chance, Josh Thornton found Tempest who whipped in a cross which Gian Ciaurro headed wide of the left post from 15 yards out.  

In the final 5 minutes the game came to life and Hill nearly scored a brilliant solo goal as he rode 4 challenges before his shot was well saved and the rebound was blocked.  

But on the 93rd minute Gedling were given a chance to take the lead after Fenn Davies cross was blocked by the defender’s hand leaving the ref no choice but to point to the spot. Paolo Piliero who was playing his last ever game stepped up and smashed his penalty into the top left corner to give Gedling the lead and the former Long Eaton and Ilkeston Town man a parting gift on his superb career.  

However, in the 6th minute of injury time the visitors looked to have stopped Gedling’s celebrations after a cross found Josh McGarvey who smashed his effort into the roof of the net to make it 1-1.  

But in the 98th minute and with the last kick of the season Gedling won it, Kieran Harrison picked up the ball 25 yards from goal and he unleashed an effort which found the bottom left-hand corner to end Gedling’s season on a positive note and at the end Piliero was clapped off for the last time by a strong Plains Road turnout of 181 to show respect to a fan favourite at Plains Road for the last 3 years.  

Gedling Team – Louis Richardson, Exauce Nsiala (Danny Dixon 45+3), Paolo Piliero (C), Kieran Harrison, Josh Stevenson, Ross McCaughey, Greg Tempest (TK Mushambi 56’), Josh Thornton, Courtney Hastings, Gian Ciaurro (Fenn Davies 56’), Zachary Hill.  

Free-range eggs set to return to supermarket shelves across Gedling borough

Free-range eggs set to return to supermarket shelves across Gedling borough

Shoppers across Gedling borough will be able to buy free-range eggs and chicken for the first time in five months when a nationwide compulsory housing order on poultry is lifted this week.

Hens and other captive birds have been under lockdown since last November due to the worldwide outbreak of avian influenza.

Defra has announced that the mandatory housing measures will be lifted from a minute past midnight on Tuesday, April 18.

The nationwide housing order was introduced last November as bird flu spread rapidly through the UK’s poultry flock and wild birds.

It meant that eggs laid by hens who normally had access to outside areas, and chickens produced for meat, could not be marketed as free range.

From tomorrow, producers in most of England and Wales can label their eggs and meat as free range again.

The exceptions are where local protection zones are in place due to a specific outbreak of bird flu at a farm or other premises.

British Poultry Council chief executive Richard Griffiths said: “This has been a testing time for the poultry meat industry, so we welcome the lifting of the housing order that comes with the reduction of the risk level.

“Reduced risk does not mean no risk: the health of our birds remains the priority for our members up and down the country. We urge all bird keepers to maintain effective biosecurity throughout the year to avoid any incursion of potential infection and minimise impact on international trade.”

Defra said poultry and captive bird keepers must cleanse and disinfect clothing, footwear, equipment and vehicles before and after contact with their flock and, if practical, use disposable protective clothing.

Avian influenzas pose a very low food safety risk for UK consumers. There is no impact on the consumption of properly cooked poultry products, including eggs.

Bird keepers should report suspicion of disease in England to the Defra Rural Services Helpline on 03000 200 301.

PLANNING: 30 properties planned on Ashfield and Gedling border

Planning documents have been received by Gedling Borough Council planning department for development of north of Marion Road in Hucknall on the north eastern edge of Hucknall.

The land sits to the south of Papplewick and Linby.

The proposed development application was submitted on behalf of Chevin Homes (Derby) Limited by the Planning and Design Group Limited.

Submitted documents state that ‘the site and delivery of the housing is located within the authority boundary of Gedling Borough Council however, the proposed access road, linking to Marion Avenue lies within the jurisdiction of Ashfield District Council. The proposed development is, therefore, cross boundary and both authorities have been issued with a copy of the application.’

Pictured: Access is proposed via Marmion Avenue (PHOTO: Google)

A supporting planning document states that the planning application seeks full permission for the construction of 30 dwellings (including 9 affordable units) with associated infrastructure, open space and landscaping.

The proposed development will consist of 21 market housing units made up of 12 three bedroom and nine two bedroom units.

There will also be nine social, affordable or intermediate rent units made up of seven two bedroom and two three bedroom properties.

Seaside theme for Calverton village get together

The date for the annual ‘Calverton Village Get Together’ has been now been announced.

This year the event, run by the Calverton Scout & Guide Supporters Association, will be held on Sunday May 14 at the Calverton Scout & Guide Supporters Building, Main Street, Calverton NG14 6LU.

Cheryl Mosely from the Village Get Together team told Gedling Eye that the event brings the community of Calverton Together.

She said: “It helps charities, clubs, schools and churches within the village to raise funds for their various groups.   

“The Calverton Scout & Guide Supporters Association also use this event to raise funds for the upkeep and running of their headquarters.”

Last year’s event was held in July, due to Covid restrictions in early 2022, and it turned out to be something of a super scorcher.

This year the ‘Calverton Village Get Together’ event returns to May where it is hoped that there will be some sunny weather.

The theme for this year’s event is ‘Calverton-by-the-Sea’ so the Village Get Together team recommend that you bring your buckets and spades and prepare for sandcastles, paddling pool, donkeys, Punch and Judy and, of course, ice cream, fun and laughter.

Further information to follow, but in the meantime put Sunday May 14 in your diary and keep an eye out for future updates from the Calverton Scout and Guides Supporters Association as the date draws closer.
