Juliet Burgess-Ray, from East Midlands Army Responders, gave a very helpful, hands-on defibrillator training session in Church Langton on 9 October.

All agreed it was a very useful two hours and should be offered more widely. Especially as it is applicable for all types of defibrillator.

November and December are proving to be busy months for the Hub, with Mish Mash Markets, the production of For One Night Only, and the Kibworth Band all proving to be very popular. We are also hosting a lot of birthday parties. The Welcome Kitchen is continuing to run on a Monday and, in January we look forward to Last Minute Theatre’s annual pantomime.

We are currently undergoing a revue of our storage space with a view to making better and fairer use of what we have and we will be liaising with our regular users about this soon. We are also hoping to upgrade our kitchen facilities and be able to provide better equipment for functions.

We would like to wish all our users a very Happy Christmas and I would like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to our employees, Kelly, Alison and Eric for all their hard work in keeping the hall running.

He was responsible for the creation of the Great Wall of China.

On the 9^th of December, all over the world, people will have been taking to the streets to show the fossil fuel industries and their governments that urgent action really is needed now.
