Using food in a sustainable way to create electricity!  What will they think of next?

The amount of food we waste each year currently sits at a global figure of 1.3bln tons. An unconceivable sum when we consider the amount of people who are starving in the world. But what can be done to put all this waste to better use?

Three councils in North Wales are looking at innovative ways of using food waste in a sustainable way; by turning 20,000 tons of it into electricity each year. The £7.5m project ………………………  TO READ THE FULL STORY CLICK THIS LINK

SNOWED IN DAY & COULDN'T GET TO WORK BECAUSE WHAT?

KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL! CAR STUCK! NO BUS!

WHAT QUESTIONS PEOPLE ARE ASKING THEIR BOSS

 

This information was sent to us by Nat West Bank and we thought it in the publics interest to pass it on.

 

With the Winter in full flow, the UK is seeing a growing level of weather warnings for flooding and strong winds. It would seem that we are coming to that time of year where the weather can have quite an effect on you and your staff. Be it snow stopping them getting out of their drive, or adverse weather affecting public transport, there are many questions you may have about what you need to do.

 

To help, we have taken some of the most popular questions asked by our business customers and answered them below.


Q. What happens if staff are unable to get themselves into work – do I have to pay them?  A. No. If your employees are unable to get themselves into work (for whatever reason) then you are not legally obliged to pay them. However, you could consider alternatives, such as temporary home working or asking staff to take part of their paid holiday entitlement…..….. To read the full article click this link

 

 

WHAT A TRULY

BRILLIANT

ALL STARS CONCERT

Last Saturday evening in Rogate Church

 

It was billed by Patrick Le Pla as a “candlelit concert show-casing the talents of our local stars - people you know!”  and he also said right from the offset that “'everyone taking part is a star” and boy how right he was!

 

It was indeed very humbling for those of us sitting in the pews when we all realised just how much true raw talent we have within our community, very humbling in deed.

In these days of 3-D Cinema's, 24/7 Television, On-line programs etc. that we can not only watch on our televisions and our computers as well but even on our  Mobile Telephones and iPod's along with a plethora of new devises forever being trumpeted as the latest “must have” things to make our “entertainment experience complete”  to use this modern jargon we hear so much these days! “Real Entertainment” can be hard to find.

But here in Rogate, you can forget all those fancy modern devices especially when it comes to the live, in your face performances such as we all experience within the packed walls of St Bartholomew's Church on Saturday evening.  Such a wide ranging choice of entertainment, with world class and award winning stars within the line-up as well, although to pick out any one performance would do a real disservice to all the other, very talented members of the cast.

If you missed it, I truly feel sorry for you, for when it was finally over and everyone had taken their well disserved bows, we went home with a real warm glow within us all, true some of it came from the excellent free mulled wine served during the interval but most of it came from a real sense of pride, pride in what our fellow man, and I use that in the purely biblical sense you understand, and not the least bit chauvinistic I assure you, but what our fellow man can turn his hand too when asked and finally a real sense of pride in our community for coming together and putting on a REAL STAR STUDDED SHOW.

Well done Rogate, well done Patrick Le Pla for putting on this simply brilliant evening, well done to all who generously gave up their valuable time to rehearse and finally bring it all together and perform in front of a packed house on the evening, and lets not forget what it was all in aid of, rebuilding our church roof, so well done to everyone for their very generous donations as they left to go home, brilliant, simply BRILLIANT!  

STOP PRESS: The Concert raised £1,300 towards the roof, that just shows how good it was!

WELL THAT’S IT FOLKS

As you know, I have been trying to find someone to take over this community website for a while now but to date no takers which is a real shame, especially when you think nearly 1,500 people a month (that’s the equivalent of all the people that live in Rogate) regularly log into this site from all over the world, to catch up with the goings on in Rogate.

With Penny stepping down as Church Warden in April and with her also retiring from Rogate School this summer, we both thought this was a good time to take a back seat for a while.

She has helped out at school since our children Philippa and Jamie, first started going to this wonderful village school, that’s the best part of 25 years ago and she has enjoyed every bit of it, but we both think its time to hand over to younger souls now.

She and I are trying desperately to retire and see a lot more of the world whilst we are still reasonably good on our pins! so we have decided that we will give it until March 31st and if no one has come fwd by then, we will simply stop updating this website.

We will still leave it running as a lot of people including local schools and local newspapers etc. use it for reference but as regards updating any information, I am afraid that will have to stop. May we take this opportunity to personally thank all our loyal readers from all over the world, the people who have sent us so much information and the clubs and societies who have used us to keep their followers up to date with all that is going on in Rogate and most of all, you our loyal readers. 

Cheers and remember, this is not a practice run, this really is the rest of our lives, so for gods sake, HAVE FUN & ENJOY IT!
