A Trip Down Rock n Roll Memory Lane
Native New Yorker, Steve Foti, played to a full house.
Ninety people enjoyed a trip through the beginnings of
rock n roll - from Elvis to DooWop and back again. In
between songs Steve entertained us with the stories
behind the songs. They dont write them like that
anymore! A great night!
Thanks to Judy Muirhead for organizing Steves
visit to the SSCC.

Magnificent Moggies
Buttons and Pixie live a blameless life on Amos Lane. They mind their
own feline business and trouble no one (if you discount the odd small
furry squeaky thing) but if you approach their door with a canine in tow
you should beware.
Your editor was delivering the Scarlian Extra whilst walking one of the
dogs (foolish). Pixie and Buttons were guarding the front door like a pair
of ancestral lions. Briefly all was calm but then Buttons became a Tabby Beach Ball all spiky fur
and very foul language. Pixie used a pillar as a shield but added to the cacophony of abuse.
Neither of them fled. The dog (who is not small) slunk behind my legs and trembled, what a wimp.
It was all very amusing a big hairy hound vanquished by a pair of Magnificent Moggies.
So Buttons and Pixie be proud you are the Guard Cats of South Scarle.

The Barmans Tale

If you build it they will come. Thats what kept running through my mind as Pam and I
looked around the empty hall and pondered the idea
of running a Pub Night. Not that the original idea was
ours; that came from Blaise Thomas. So if you
enjoyed the evening do let us know and if you didnt
speak to Blaise!

Anyway we did build that bar (and when I say we, I
mean David Clarke) and you did come. Now in true
journalistic seeker-of-truth-and-justice style, here is
where we should tell you how many walked through
the doors. Its not that we didnt do a headcount; we did - by three different people! So
depending on who you want to trust we had 40, 45 or 50. Not sure if that admission
reflects more on our accounting skills or the effect of the small sherry consumed.

The logo quiz on each of the tables caused discussion and confusion in equal measure -
who knew Morgan, Lagonda, Austin & Bentley were so similar. (If youre still missing a few
answers just ask and we can send them to you.) Our younger Scarlians weren't left out
and were observed playing with the giant Snakes n Ladders set.

When we werent faced by a row of smiling faces at the
bar (thank you Stephen, Vikki & Roy) what we could see
was a community being just that - a community. Friends
and neighbours discussing topics from their new business
venture to the health of our dogs and everything in
between. But more than the sound of the chattering
masses, what stuck with us for a day or two was the
laughter. Some of that was aimed at yours truly - all we
will say is when you put a play list together, make sure
you check that there arent any Christmas Songs in the mix, especially when we haven't
reached Easter yet!

The rest of the background music added to the ambience, as did the candles littered
around the pillars, arches and tables. Strangely the only mention of the architecture on this
occasion that was overheard at the bar was, I thought it might be strange going to the pub
in a church but it just works. And thats what we thought too. Thanks for joining us for our
first Pub Night.

Oh and if you didnt get a chance to join us this time, dont fret! Keep
Calm there will be another SSCC Pub Night! Just ask Blaise!

All this and a Treasure Hunt Too.
Does the village have its own Nigella? The Treasure
Hunt was great fun but undoubtedly the spread
afterwards was more than the icing on the cake. A
massive thanks to Pam Law for her hard work and
culinary skills. Shes promised the recipe for that (to kill
for) cheesecake for the next Scarlian.
Joint Winners
The Scarlettes Kate, Ollie, Anne T and Jane D

R100 Florence, Roy and Florences Mum
Rumour has it that winners organize the next one.
Question, how many times did one of the winning teams drive down Low Street Collingham?
Thank You to Craig and Pam for organising this event.

From A Young Scarlian
Hi,
My name is Richard Clay and I am a member of Newark 4As Kayaking Club based at Newark
Rowing Club.
I have been a member of the team for four years and train twice a week. In winter the training is in
the gym using a paddling machine such as an ERGO and general fitness training, in the summer
months the training is on the water.
Five times a year we compete at the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont,
Nottingham, with other teams. Last year I won the Junior mens award for most improved paddler
(along with an award for the most capsizes.) and late last year the club won Newark and Sherwood
District Council Sports Award for the Junior team.
This year the competition season started on April 12
th
at Holme Pierrepont and I am hoping to
improve on my personal best times at 200m, 500m in both K1 (single seater kayak) and K2 (two
seater kayak).

Mind the Egret says the Early Bird
I had read that Egrets had been spotted at both Langford and Besthorpe but I was still confused by
my first sighting. A large white bird took up from the dyke. It was too small for a Heron but heron
like in shape and flight (not a Heron then). Not a Barn Owl right sort of early morning colour but
all the rest was wrong. What was I seeing? Yep it had to be an Egret. I was impressed and excited.
They have been spotted in Collingham too.

I think we may have a Ratty. I saw a furry creature of the right size and shape in the dyke a few
weeks ago. These lovely little creatures have become very rare and I would be thrilled if water
voles had returned to the village.

How To Ring Church Bells
Most church bells are hung full circle. That is to say when at rest, each bell, which is suspended
from a wooden or metal headstock, and attached to a wooden or metal frame by bearings, is
pointing with its mouth to the sky. When rung the bell revolves a full 360 degrees, first in one
direction and then in the other. To do this easily a large wooden wheel is attached to each bell and
around this wheel a rope is wrapped and drops in to the room below. To enable the bell to rest in
this up right position one end of a length of timber (the Stay) is fitted in to the headstock the other
end rests against another piece of timber (the slider).
Hand stroke
To ring a bell the ringer takes hold of the bottom of the rope (the tail end) with his left hand, he then
reaches up as high as he can and takes hold of the sally (the coloured fury part of the rope) with
both hands. The ringer pulls the sally in a downward motion as far as his waist and then lets go of
the sally but still holding the tail end. The sally will suddenly change direction and start to go up to
the ceiling and the bell will ring. The ringer now puts his right hand on the tail end above his left
hand, and by applying a little tension to the rope as his hand are pulled up above his head, can
control the speed the bell is swinging and actually hold the bell in the upright position at backstroke
if necessary.
Backstroke
The tail end is now pulled down with both hands until both arms are outstretched and hands
pointing to the floor, the bell will ring. The sally will come down from the ceiling to approximate
knee height, the ringer lets go of the tail end with his right hand, and as the sally changes direction
takes hold of the sally with both hands. By applying a little tension controls the speed of the bell,
and actually resting the bell at hand stroke if necessary.
Please note you must never attempt to ring a bell with out the tower captains permission as a
great deal of damage could be caused to the bells or your self.
Anybody learning to ring at South Scarle is first taught to ring a bell at back stroke then hand
stroke, before ringing both strokes together. Once he or she can ring safely we move on to rounds,
call changes, and then on to method ringing.
If any body would like to join us I am looking to recruit up to 2 more ringers. If you are interested or
require any additional information please contact me on 893392.

FOOD 4 THOUGHT!
There has been a proposal to set up a monthly Luncheon Club for
South Scarle residents. To get this project started we need
volunteers to join a working party. You may not be around to help
out with the lunch itself but perhaps you can help lay out tables in
the community centre the evening before. You may be a 'Mary
Berry' or 'Jamie Oliver' and would like to cook/prepare a meal ready
to be heated up on the day - whatever your skills we could do with
your support. Please contact Lynn Broughton on 893482 or Elaine
Leake (SSCC Committee) on 893419, or through the website.
KEEP CALM IT'S SSCC PUB NIGHT...AGAIN!
We are hoping this will become a regular event on the first Friday of the month, however we
can't run it ourselves, we need volunteers to help. Contact us through the website if you are
happy to help out on the pub nights.
Anyone for SHORT MAT BOWLS?
We had a visitor from Eagle's Short Mat Bowls Club at the Coffee Morning recently, who said our
community centre would be a great place to hold short mat bowls. If there is anyone out there who
would be interested in having this in our community centre please contact Blaise Thomas
(892686). If there were enough interest your SSCC Committee would be happy to help facilitate
this.

Newark Food Bank
Please remember to contribute to the food bank You can do this whenever SSCC is open. This is
not a prop for Benefit Scroungers but a lifeline for those in real need.
Brian Leake (893419) has asked me to say a big Thank You to everyone who has already given so
generously. He is happy to answer any questions you may have.
