Baldwin talked about ‘Poles in Step’ where shepersuaded us how effective and beneficialhaving a Nordic pole in each hand is for seriouscross-country walking. Then Eileen Foxgrabbed our attention with 'Cry the BelovedCountry' telling us about the severe droughtcurrently being experienced in South Africa,where she is a regular visitor.Sarah Waters gave an imaginative

demonstration of 'Use of Voice' - one of ourcriteria for effective speechmaking. She took aquotation from Shakespeare and used the voicesof three different characters to express itsmeaning in different ways.The evening finished with a topics session led

by Alan Heggs. We were asked to express ourviews as Board members of the HomemadeSoup Corporation going into liquidation. Thepuns followed thick and fast. The tomato soupdepartment was in the red; the vegetable soupdepartment all mixed up and everyone was inthe dark about the mushroom soup.

Leicestershire SpeakersAfter the AGM and welcoming Anne French as ourPresident for 2016, it was time for some fun. Threegroups of four each told a story and the audiencewas invited to decide which was true or false. The serious was admixed with some great humour.

One speaker told how when he was born (when menwere excluded from the delivery room), the father wasinformed that he had a daughter when in fact he hada son. The ensuing birth notices led to the impressionthat twins had been born! We listened to a very plausible explanation of as to

how the surname Jones originated - the speaker hadus all hoodwinked. We discovered we had achocolate biscuit thief in our midst. In the cashstrapped days of yesteryear one member told how hedesigned a stained glass window for a church and hisfee was donated to an unmarried mothers’ home. Weheard about an experiment that went wrong causingan explosion in the school science lab – this was wellbefore Health and Safety arrived.We heard the sad tale of a lost boy scout who after

cycling through wind and rain in the Campsie Hills hadto spend a miserable night, wet and cold in a barnwhilst the troop were actually camping in an adjacentfield. One member related an intriguing tale of howshe was thought to belong to Baader Meinhof duringa journey across France.Three guests were plucky enough to have a go at

telling stories. Leicestershire Speakers welcome anyone who

would like to learn the art of speaking in public. Ourmeetings are supportive, informative andentertaining, helping to turn nervous wrecks intoconfident, speakers. We meet at 7.30pm on thesecond Wednesday of each month at the Blaby Dropin Centre. For more information, ring Anne Jones on0116 277 2295 or visit our websitewww.leicspeakers.co.uk We can also provideentertainment and talks to other societies and groups.

Talking Computers

WINDOWS LIVE MAILCHANGES COMING SOON

Windows Live Mail is the free emailprogram supplied by Microsoft, whichreplaced the venerable old OutlookExpress from years ago. It has notbeen without its issues but manymillions are using it daily to get theiremails.

However, users should now be gettingmessages from Microsoft saying that LiveMail cannot be used to get emails fromOutlook.com – the replacement toHotmail – from the end of June.

Essentially, Outlook.com is changingthe way they supply emails and thetechnology they use will not be supportedby the Live Mail program. This means thatalthough you can still use Live Mail forother email services (at least for the timebeing), you will not be able to accessOutlook.com/Hotmail related emailservices.

What can you do? Microsoft says thatyou can use the ‘Mail’ app in Windows 8or 10, but you do not have to change tothose versions of Windows. You can usealternative email programs such asMozilla Thunderbird, access your emailsusing a web browser instead of an emailprogram or even sign up for a free emailaccount using Gmail, which has some ofthe best anti-spam filters in the businessand has the added advantage of not tyingyou down to any particular broadbandcompany.

Live Mail, like Windows XP, werepopular in their day but as with all thingsin the I.T. world, changes do happen.Having said that, progress doesn’t haveto be a problem!

Framework KnittersA stocking frame was a mechanical knittingmachine, invented in 1589 and used in thetextiles industry. Its use, known traditionally asframework knitting, was the first major stage inthe mechanisation of the textile industry andplayed an important part in the early history ofthe Industrial Revolution.Many frames were installed in homes, often in

a rented house and usually with a rented frame. This meant that the whole family could be

employed in the production of stockings.Children were used as bobbin winders, footersand tappers. Footers and tappers added the footand top of the stocking to the leg produced by themiddler. The father was usually the middler withthe wife being the seamer. One knitter and footerand bobbin winder could produce 4 dozen pairs aweek, working 15-16 hours a day. In 1844 therewere 90 frames in Lutterworth, 44 in Claybrooke,200 in Gilmorton and 70 in Walcote.Many poor children were apprenticed to

framework knitters. One record relates toThomas Bannister, a poor child of Bitteswell,bound apprentice in 1798 to John Taylor ofLutterworth. Another poor child of Willoughby in

Warwickshire, John Shaw, was bound in 1809 toanother Lutterworth framework knitter, JohnJennings. Both were seven years old and were toserve until they were 21. There is also anindenture recorded of a nine year old girl fromClaybrooke, Elizabeth Palmer, who wasapprenticed to a Lutterworth framework knitterin 1802.Following a statute of 1816, nine was the

youngest age at which a child could legally beapprenticed.The conditions of apprenticeship follow the

usual pattern whereby the apprentice promises toserve his master faithfully, protect his property,avoid gambling, fornication, frequenting tavernsetc, while in return the master promises to teachthe apprentice their trade and provide them withsufficient food, lodging, apparel and othernecessities.M.J.Gamble

FEETSummer Feet theProfessional WayOnce again summer has arrived and it’s time to putyour feet on public display. It’s also the time whenpeople come kicking my door down in desperateneed. Why you may ask? It’s because you read inmagazines how to make your feet great. All you do issend away for magic heel cream and a magicmachine that removes all your hard skin in an instant(as seen on TV). One week later you realise you’vewasted a hell of a lot of money on products that willnever work. So what’s the alternative?

1. Preparation. If you bought a £100 tin of paint andslapped it on your wall you’d be very disappointed atthe finish – why? Because you hadn’t prepared thesurface.

2. The reason you visit a podiatrist is because you’vegiven up and assume your feet are a lost cause.Wrong! Underneath all that hard skin, heel cracksmanky nails etc, is the foot you were born with.Usually one session will restore those sad feet tonewborn ready to show the world. Now here’s thebest bit. Once you leave with your new fab feet youwill also be given professional advice on how to keepthem that way; what not to use, what are a completewaste of money and time (as seen on TV etc.) andwhat you have been doing wrong all these years.Here at Lutterworth Footcare we simply call it an motand service for feet. Like your car you can do somuch but a garage can do a lot more.

So have a look at your feet and decide! Will magicfoot potion cure your nails, will the fantastico wondermagico new improved foot saw (it slices, dices andpeels your calluses in seconds) solve your problemfeet? NO! The alternative. A full mot and service toyour feet. Old bangers and write offs welcome.

Who Won?As I write this we’re one week away fromEngland’s first game of Euro 2016 againstRussia. Wimbledon and the British Open GolfChampionship will be held within a few weekstoo. Then there are the Olympic Games in Riode Janeiro in August.

All of the players, athletes and sportspeopletaking part have been training hard for a verylong time now in order to be at their best for theirtournaments, mentally and physically. They havetrained their mind and body muscles so that theycan perform ‘instinctively’ in their chosen event– just like you in fact!

We’re all players in that event we frequentlyrefer to as the ‘game of life’ and, just like theplayers above, we all develop what’s known as‘muscle memory’ so that we too can‘instinctively’ carry out a certain movement orreaction very quickly in response to specificevents as the game unfolds. You actually did itearlier on when you got out of bed. At theconscious level you just had the thought to getout of bed. But at the unconscious level youmade a massive amount of muscle movementsto make that happen (well... eventually!) and itwas ‘automatic’, as if by magic!

Now, this dynamic is great when it gives youthe thoughts, feelings and automatic responsesyou want. But unfortunately, our training duringour playing the game of life can produce lots ofnegative muscle memories without us evenrealising, with the resultant unwanted, unhelpfulor unhealthful responses we experience. Indeed,we know that over 70% of all illness (ie physicalas well as mental) is caused by this apparentlyautomatic interface that’s occurring betweenour brains and our bodies all of the time.

Professional spor tspeople employprofessional people to help them perform at thehighest level. The game of your life is not overyet. Perhaps with the right help you can performat your highest level too and win your game oflife!

SPORTS MASSAGE VSGOLF

Every year in the UK around 7% of thepopulation plays golf on a regular basis.Whilst it isn’t necessarily regarded as avery physical game, it does produce its owncrop of injuries and problems for theregular player.If you’re a regular player and after a round

you feel the odd muscle twinge or pain thenthese statistics will make perfect sense – andwill also help to explain the aches and pains.During one round of golf you will swing

and hit your way through:• 18 tee shots• Approximately 14 approach shots• 2 putts per hole• Total average number of shots per

round is 80 – 100• 60 – 80 of these shots require a complex

co-ordination between muscle actions and joint rotations, all of which can put undue pressure or strain on the knees, elbows, back etc. and can exacerbate current niggles.• If you carry your bag you will pick it

up and put it down 80-100 x per round and it can weigh anywhere from 10-30kg depending on your clubs and other equipment.Another factor is that golf takes practice.

It’s a skill with small margins of error, a fineline between playing well or not - sopracticing your skills requires more swingsand repetition of desirable actions.Common injuries are:-• Shoulder and neck pain• Lower back pain or discomfort• Knee and hip discomfort• Golfers elbow etc.Sports Massage helps to maintain your

body’s balance – and could help improveyour game.

Trigger Points in MusclesA trigger point is a tight band or lump in a muscle that istender to touch. They can occur in any muscle butcommonly can be found as ‘knots‘ across the base of theneck and top of the shoulders and around the shoulderblades. Trigger points occur in people who adopt prolongedpostures at work eg at a computer or driving. Sometimesthey produce ‘referred pain‘. This means that not only arethey exquisitely tender locally but they can send painradiating up the neck or into the arm for example.

Some researchers believe that trigger points can be as aresult of, or aggravated by trauma, eg whiplash injury,overuse eg decorating, gardening or psychological stress.

A Chartered Physiotherapist may feel for trigger pointswhen assessing somebody complaining of neck, shoulderor back pain. In people with sciatica trigger points may befelt in the buttocks and can be tender to sit on.

Physiotherapy treatment may consist of special massageand stretching techniques or acupuncture. An acupunctureneedle is painlessly inserted into the trigger point andthere is an instantaneous and miraculous release andrelaxation.

To see a Chartered Physiotherapist privately you do nothave to be referred by your doctor.

NEXT MONTH: Upper back pain (The Thoracic Spine)

Dunton Bassett W.I.On Tuesday April 12th we had aninteresting and enjoyable evening arrangedby one of our members Margaret Wrathalland her husband Robert. It was a gamesnight which proved hilarious andunforgettable.

Then on May 10th we discussed the WIresolutions on ‘Appropriate care in hospitalsfor people with Dementia’ and ‘Prevent FoodWaste, Address Food Poverty’. A vote onwhether we could support the resolutions ornot was taken at the end of the discussion.After this, Dot Barnard gave a talk on one ofthe past inhabitants of our village.

The meeting on June 14th was ‘True orFalse’ talk given by the LeicestershireSpeakers Group which was an interestingtalk.

On July 12th Matthew Copley from LCCwill give a talk referring to one of ourresolutions called ‘More food less waste’.

Visitors are always welcome at ourmeetings which start at 7.45pm and canenjoy tea, coffee and cake afterwards.

Wycliffe Lutterworth U3AA View of Victorian Lutterworth

Speaker - Lynda HillLynda first became interested in VictorianLutterworth during her teaching career.This stimulating talk traced thedevelopment of Churches, Schools,Commerce and Social Life duringVictoria’s Reign. Between 1837 and 1891, the population

gradually declined, whilst MarketHarborough thrived, trebling itspopulation. This was largely due to theintroduction of steam locomotives whichaided trade. It wasn’t until 1899 that theGreat Central Railway opened inLutterworth, giving the town a bit of aboost. Chemists and grocers were tradingwhilst the main industry was frameworkknitting. The population records show the wealthy

farmers earning money from sheep rearingwhist skilled blacksmiths, saddlers andcoopers plied their crafts and surgeons andattorneys took up residence here.Lynda has written two books on this very

interesting subject, which would be wellworth reading for more detailed research.

BROUGHTON ASTLEY W.I.

At our May meeting we discussed theissues chosen to be the proposed WIResolutions for this year, namely ‘Avoidfood waste, address food poverty’ and‘Appropriate care in hospitals for peoplewith Dementia’. The first proposal is that supermarkets

should make more effort to redistributetheir surplus foods to charities and foodbanks, instead of disposing of it and thesecond is that hospitals should allow carersto stay with their loved one for theduration of their hospital stay if they are admitted for a non-dementia related condition. Our members votedunanimously to support both proposalsand we wait to hear whether both or justone will be voted nationally to go forconsideration at the annual WI conferencein June.A group recently had a shopping

experience at the Springfields shoppingoutlet in Spalding and another enjoyed theConcordia production of Half a Sixpence.In June we visit Adam’s Farm in theCotswolds and Brenda Lincoln will beshowing and talking to us about the quiltsshe makes to support ‘Help for Heroes’.Next we look forward to our annualsummer party in July when we shall becelebrating the 85th Anniversary of theestablishment of Broughton Astley WI.New members are always made

welcome, for more information contactFran Marsland on 01455 282118.

Sir Frank Whittle Studio School TimeCapsule BurialYear 12 Business Students from Sir FrankWhittle Studio School have hosted yet anotherlandmark event in the short history of ourschool.Planning for the event started in January 2016

to bury a time capsule in the school grounds. OnFriday 10th June at 2pm, the Ceremony startedwith many important guests in attendance –Lutterworth Town Mayor, Alberto Costa MP,members of the School Governors, staff andstudents. We also had many of our BusinessPartners present, including OLD Engineering whovery kindly helped us design and thenmanufactured our amazing Whittle Jet Engineinspired Time Capsule. They also helped us decideon the materials to be used, aluminium and itsdimensions. The Capsule had been shaped to looklike a Frank Whittle Jet Engine in keeping with the75th Anniversary of the first powered flight and ofcourse, the name of the school.

We also had help from other Partners, ASDAand Britvic, who kindly supplied refreshments forour event. Students and staff helped with thecontents and our team compiled this informationand sealed it in. Lutterworth Town Council haskindly donated a tree to be planted on the burialsite in September to help mark the location, alongwith a plaque that was designed by ourselves (the

students) and made on our very own school lasercutter.Between the five students - Rose Heard,

Charlette Dobson, Henry Meddoms, TomSanders, Callum Mason - we had to split manyjobs, making the day run smoothly and to be assuccessful as possible. The day was fantastic, withgorgeous weather and a great turn out.Mr Costa said, “I was really delighted to be

asked to assist in the burial of the Studio’s SchoolTime Capsule and I relished the opportunity tomeet with the teachers and pupils of Sir FrankWhittle. The school is a fairly new addition toLutterworth, however it presents an excitingopportunity to young people in the communityand gives them a further option to gain importantlife skills in order for them to progress into apromising career”.

Year 12 Business Studies Student and EventOrganiser, Henry Meddowns said, “Myself andthe team would like to thank Alberto for joining usthis afternoon. We have left a proud legacy heretoday and it was one I hope future students of SirFrank Whittle will be able to enjoy for years tocome”.Another Year 12 Business Studies Student, Rose

Heard added, “This is a day that’s taken a lot ofplanning and hard work, but it’s a day we’ve beenlooking forward to and we’re pleased to seeAlberto and the Town Mayor here with us”.Mr Costa concluded, “I am very thankful to

Year 12 Business Students and to Paul Hostead(Head Teacher) for their very kind invitation toattend today’s opening. The innovative design ofthe Time Capsule is clear evidence of the school’s‘skill’s orientated’ approach and I look forward toattending another ceremony when it’s time to digthe Time Capsule up in 20 years’ time”.

Motoring Matters!

VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONINGAND CLIMATE CONTROLVehicle air conditioning systems first appeared in luxury cars in theearly 1940's. Even as late as the mid 70’s air conditioning was onlyfitted to luxury and executive saloons.

Today over 80% of new cars registered in the UK come with airconditioning as standard. Yet, the majority of us hardly have anunderstanding or even care how it works... that is until the first hot day ofthe summer arrives.

The air conditioning in your vehicle operates in much the same basic wayyour fridge does at home using a few key components such as acompressor, condenser, receiver/dryer, expansion valve and an evaporator.

It is true that early air conditioning systems did reduce your MPG, howeverdue to advancements in technology and engineering the difference in fueleconomy between using your air-con and not, is negligible particularlywhen you consider the negative aerodynamic drag from your windowsbeing open to keep cool.

Contrary to what you may have heard elsewhere it is not possible tocontract Legionnaires Disease from the AC in a car. Legionnellapneumophila is a problem only in the air conditioning systems of largebuildings where they use chilled water to transmit the cooling from onepart of the building to another. No vehicle uses any water to achieve thecooling. Nevertheless it may be possible to contract slight throat infectionsfrom a poorly maintained car AC system due to the build-up of bacteria.

So how to rid your car of this bacteria? Often simply recharging thesystem and ensuring your pollen/cabin filter is replaced will cure theproblem. If however the car has been recharged recently and yet the smellstill persists then the problem is likely to be more deep seated and thesystem airways may need disinfecting. The cheap and easy method is tobuy a specialist aerosol from a motor factor or accessory shop which willdisinfect and deodorize the evaporator, just follow the instructions on thecan.

For any help or advice with your vehicle why not get in touch with yourlocal and friendly team at Hammond Automotive.

Gilmorton W.I. welcomed KarenRockwell to their June meeting to talk about SCADor Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. Thisis a type of heart attack which cannot be predictedor prevented and it affects people with few or noneof the normal risk factors for heart disease. A tear or a bruise develops in a coronary artery

resulting in a blockage that prevents normal bloodflow. SCADs happen most commonly in women,often around pregnancy or the menopause and untillast year no research into this condition had beencarried out in the UK or Europe.Karen took us on her own journey from when she

had a SCAD to last year when she made contact,through social media, with a group of people whohad also survived a SCAD. They all wanted this very

rare condition to be investigated so they could havea little more information about why it had happenedto them. Leicester Cardiovascular Biomedical Research

Unit at Glenfield Hospital has started this researchbut now needs extra funding to extend the study andis also looking for healthy volunteers to be studied aspart of a control group. More information can befound on their website.Gilmorton WI is celebrating their 70th Birthday.

Members held a party at Ullesthorpe Court Hotelwhere everyone enjoyed a cream tea. Lavinia Moyesbaked the Birthday cake which was cut and shared atthe June meeting. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 6th July

at 7.30pm in the Village Hall and our speaker is thelocal Beat Bobby.

Lutterworth Probus ClubOur May meeting was the usual friendlygathering and after an enjoyable meal we wereentertained by a lady from the Samaritanswho talked about their history and thetraining of volunteers. She also explained thetypes of calls that they dealt with.

At the end of the month we organised a tripto the National Arboretum. Wives wereinvited to join us and a successful day wasenjoyed by all.

We are also in the process of arranging avisit to the Royce Museum in the comingmonths.

To join your local Probus Club ofLutterworth contact Philip Frost (Secretary) at 01455 202322 or emailphilip.frost119@btinternet.com We meet atUllesthorpe Court Hotel on the thirdWednesday each month.

Q: My father recently had a stroke and I havecut down my working hours to care for him. Hereceives sick pay, but we are strugglingfinancially. Is there any help available for us?A: Financial support is available for peoplewhen they become ill, as well as for their carers.What is available will depend on yourcircumstances.Your father may be eligible for Personal

Independence Payments (PIP) to help with hisdaily living and mobility costs. His eligibility willbe assessed on how his condition affects him andwhat support he needs. To apply for PIP, your father can call the

Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) andthen complete the form he is sent. He can requesta form by post, but it is usually better to start theclaim over the phone, as PIP payments arebackdated from the day you made your claim. There may also be help available for you as his

carer. Carer’s Allowance is a financial assistancefor people who have less time to work because

they are caring for someone. Ifyou earn £110 a week or lessfrom your job after tax andcare for your father for 35hours a week, you may beeligible.You can make an

application on the gov.uk website. To claimCarer’s Allowance, your father needs to be inreceipt of the component of PIP which coversliving costs (as opposed to mobility costs).If you need help or information on applying

for any of these benefits, contact your localCitizens Advice or go online atwww.citizensadvice.org.ukLutterworth CAB at One Stop Shop,

THE MUSEUM HELD A RECEPTION onthe evening of May 20th to celebrate its 25thBirthday, a considerable achievement in a timewhen many museums have closed. In part, weowe our survival to continued support fromLutterworth Town Council but also from thededicated group of volunteers who staff & runthe museum. The reception gave all thevolunteers, past & present an opportunity tomeet with Town Councillors, many of thepeople from the Leicestershire Museums’Service, Harborough DC & Leicestershire CC. Also unveiled that evening in the Museum

were two exciting new exhibits. One, on longterm loan from Leicestershire Museums’Service, was the sectioned W2/700 Whittle Jetengine that powered the first Jet flight on May15th 1941, just 75 years ago. The second was aMark 111 Merlin engine from a Hurricanefighter, shot down in the Battle of Britain in1941 and dug up from a field in Dorset in 1988by Bruce Hubbard of Walcote. Over many years he lovingly restored it to

working condition. After his death the Museumwas kindly favoured and able to acquire it fromhis estate. The next day the 21st, was Whittle Day,

when the Museum was filled with its uniquecollection of Frank Whittle & Power Jetsmemorabilia. Many visitors crowded in to seethese items plus the two new engines & also

filled the spaces available to enjoy the MuseumManager, Geoff Smith’s presentation about thestory of Sir Frank, Power Jets & thedevelopment of the early jet engines. In the afternoon a minibus load of

enthusiasts was taken round all the sitesassociated with Whittle & Power Jets & toBruntingthorpe (by courtesy of David Walton)to see their fine collection of Cold-War jetplanes.
