King's Arms at Burton in Kendal wins national competition!
Press Release: 22 March 2016
CUMBRIAN PUB IS NATION’S HEARTWARMING HERO
A CUMBRIAN pub has scooped top prize in Heinz’s Heartwarming Heroes competition – and has pledged to turn hundreds of children into life-saving heroes with the prize money.
The Kings Arms, in Burton-in-Kendal, won first place in the national competition, which was searching for pubs and restaurants that go the extra mile.
Winners Ann and Neil France, Licensees of the Thwaites pub, will receive £10,000 prize money as well as £10,000 towards a community event.
Ann said: “We couldn’t believe it when we were told we had won. Neil read out the email to me and I thought he was joking but we’re absolutely thrilled with the news. It’s a great honour for the pub and it will be great for the village.
“We’ve been overwhelmed with the support we’ve had from everyone and would like to thank all those involved.”
Ann and Neil are planning to spend the prize money on a community first aid day for the local primary school, teaching youngsters, their parents and teachers valuable life-saving skills. The day will include demonstrations, practical advice and take away materials to help keep the whole community safe. They are currently contacting local organisations that may be interested in supporting the event, including the Air Ambulance and Community First Responders.
The Kings Arms is a former coaching inn dating back to 1753, and listed as a stop off on the John O’Groats to Land’s End cycle route, as well as the Wainwright Coast to Coast walk. As a result, it is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists and recently expanded, converting a barn into seven luxury bedrooms, which gives them 13 ensuite letting rooms in total.
Ann and Neil have been at the helm for seven years, and have run pubs across the country for the last 37 years. They are at the heart of village life in Burton-in-Kendal, hosting two major annual events, the Daffodil Show and Onion Show, which raise thousands of pounds for local good causes. They have turned the rear of their car park into allotments for local growers and support the local school sports day.
News that they had been named top community pub in the Heinz competition came as no surprise to Andrew Buchanan, Daniel Thwaites’ Director of Pub Operations, who said: “Ann and Neil have high standards in place and take pride in the pub as well as making a valuable contribution to the local community. Whenever I speak to them they are always at the heart of activity taking place in Burton-in-Kendal and willing to get involved in anything that brings the community together.
“Their friendly approach makes the King’s Arms welcoming for both locals and visitors alike and they deserve every success.”

Cumbria Police campaign against Child Sexual Exploitation
Cumbria Constabulary is committed to preventing child sexual exploitation, helping victims and bringing offenders to justice. It is a crime that can affect any child, anytime, anywhere - regardless of their social or ethnic background.
It involves offenders grooming young people and using their power to sexually abuse them. It can take many forms, whether it occurs through a seemingly 'consensual' relationship with an older boyfriend, or a young person having sex in return for attention, gifts, alcohol or cigarettes.
Sexual exploitation is child abuse and, although they may not realise it, it puts the young victim at huge risk of damage to their physical, emotional and psychological health.
Many young people who are being abused do not realise they are at risk and will not call for help. They may see themselves as willing participants when in fact their behaviour is anything but consenting. And, while there is no stereotypical victim of exploitation, there are warning signs in children's behaviour that may indicate something is wrong – and if you know what you're looking for, you can take steps to help them.

Weather for astronomers
Today we have added a new panel below this one, which gives information about weather and visibility from a website called Clear Outside. The difference being that this one is aimed at astronomers.
The info covers all aspects of the weather that is of interest to stargazers and those who enjoy taking photos of the skies at night, but will also prove useful to others who want specific and accurate (well as accurate as we can hope for!) information about the weather.
So whether it is cloud cover, rain or frost our new panel will keep you informed.
As a bonus if you go to the Clear Outside website and see the info there it will also tell you if the International Space Station is due for a pass overhead - how neat is that?!
Now you have no excuse for not knowing when you can take pics of the moon or those meteor showers or other sky objects. :)

Library van dies, library book drop begins
The nearest library to our village is 5 miles away, so Burton was visited weekly on a Monday for an hour by a mobile library van which parked in the memorial hall car park. It was very well-used, by many people from older people to mums with small kids, for all of whom it saved the hassle, time and expense of a trip on the bus or by car into the nearest library to borrow or order books.
Late last year the library van developed a fault which meant it was withdrawn from service - as a replacement would cost c.£100,000, according to county council, and as they are cutting back due to reduced grants etc. from govt., we faced having no library presence in the village.
For many years on the first Monday of the month a group of volunteers have been running a library coffee morning at the same time as the van visited, and this raised funds to help with the village hall's upkeep. Loss of library van put the coffee morning at risk, so the volunteers got together and decided to approach the county council to ask if there could be a book drop at the hall instead of the library van.
After several meetings with the county library service to hash out the details there is now a book drop service to replace the library van. A large folding bookcase is stored in the village hall into which the library service will drop off 200 books every so often and take the old batch away, and the volunteers run this village library on the first and third Mondays each month, with the option to increase to every Monday if demand justifies it.
It's still a very new service, but is worth trying to keep access to books going within the village. What would be even better would be if the county council could be persuaded to allow the village hall to be a library link, which would require the use of a computer terminal to access the online services which are only available in libraries and library links, e.g. reference and genealogy resources. But at least for now the books are accessible easily still.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis flood appeal
The local little charity, Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, across the moss from Burton on the A6 has been badly flooded, and is needing help with the clean up and repairs.
This is a small place, doing important conservation work. This is the park where the globally endangered and rare Snow Leopards cubs were born in May 2014. One of the two cubs has left to join a breeding programme elsewhere, whilst the other is still at LWO awaiting paperwork which will allow him to move to another breeding programme.
As well as practical help (details when we have them later) they have launched an appeal to raise £5000.
If you can help in any way, please would you do so?
Appeal Link: https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/jayneestelle-gibbins

Christmas Fair
Christmas Fair in aid of Burton Memorial Hall & Burton Pre-school. Lots of stalls, Santa's Grotto, Music by Kirkby Lonsdale Brass Band, games, refreshments, cakes! Everyone welcome!!!
After the Deluge - the Spirit of Cumbria
What a stressful time it has been thanks to Storm Desmond. Here is Burton we escaped relatively lightly. A few wet cellars, some flooded and damaged roads, and a collapsed wall or two, but nothing on the scale of the communities around us.
Seeing many places under feet of water is so shocking. It's hard to imagine what it is like living in a street where the flood water comes up to your chest, or where the West Coast Main Line is under eight feet of flood water.
Some 5,000 homes across the county have been flooded, which means all those families are now either staying with friends and relatives or have taken shelter on one of the refuges around the county.
The assistance given by the emergency services, by volunteers from organisations such as RNLI, Bay Search and Rescue, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the mountain rescue teams and many others, plus the support given by the Army, has been invaluable. They have worked tirelessly since the Storm began, and everyone in the county owes a huge debt of gratitude to them all. Without them it would have been so much worse.
Aid has also come from all over the country. Kind people throughout the UK have been contacting local groups, offering clothing, bedding, Christmas gifts, food and drink, and much more besides, to those who have lost so much in the floods. Their generosity is overwhelming and much appreciated.
It will take millions of pounds to effect repairs to all of the properties damaged, to mend all the roads ripped up or washed away, to replace the bridges destroyed. Just cleaning the mud and water out and disposing of damaged items will be a huge task. Kendal Lions have provided a huge quantity of cleaning materials for those affected in Kendal. Supermarkets ASDA and Morrisons have been sending food and clothing to the refuges. Hundreds of local businesses have offered help without being asked. The community spirit is strong in Cumbria, but it will take more to rebuild our towns and villages.
The Cumbria Foundation's Cumbria 2015 Flood Appeal was launched over the weekend, and has, as of today, raised more than £500,000 towards its target of £2 million, which will go to help anyone in the county who needs help as a result of the flooding.
If you can help by making a donation to the Appeal, you can do so via their Just Giving webpage here http://campaign.justgiving.com/charity/cumbriafoundation/cumbriafloodappeal2015
If you need help just ask, if you can help just offer. http://www.spiritofcumbria.co.uk/ And thank you to everyone who does.

HELP NEEDED! BURTON RECREATION TRUST IN CRISIS
BRT exists to manage the outdoor recreation facilities behind the Royal Hotel. The present Chairman and Secretary are no longer able to carry out their roles due to family commitments and are appealing for new Trustees to step forward and assist in the managing of the facility. The Trust is non-profit making but it must raise enough funds annually to run the facility and maintain a ‘sinking fund’ to cover larger replacement costs.
The roles are not onerous and can be very rewarding, especially where there a few willing helpers to assist. We have Tennis Club members who take on the bookings and the cleaning of the facilities and we always get a number of ‘regular’ and other volunteers to help at the annual 10K and Fun run. This annual event is the main fundraiser and we desperately need help to run it this year.
If no-one comes forward in May, then very sadly, the Trust will revert to the Charities Commission and BRT will cease to exist – the lease will foreclose – and once it’s gone, then it’s gone.
Since it’s opening, some 15 years ago, other villages have built their own Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs) and we do not get the bookings that we used to do. Nonetheless, it is an important village asset and we are lucky indeed to have such a facility right in the centre of the village – please let’s not lose it.
If you can help, please ring 01524 781248 (Richard & Jane) or 01524 782152 (Phil, Trustee). We will be delighted to hear from you

Superfast fibre broadband finally hits Burton!
Great excitement this week as we heard that Burton village can now get superfast fibre broadband. Holme, on the same exchange, has been able to get it for a few weeks now.
We've been checking and it seems that most of Burton village itself has the status message "accepting orders", and fibre certainly gets as far as the kennels on Station Lane.
Holme Mills is "fibre to cabinet but cabinet not yet taking orders so keep checking", Hilderstone is "accepting orders", but Burtlands/Station Inn and out to Moss House Farm are all returning "exploring solutions".
The houses at the very top of Vicarage Lane, Dalton, are also "exploring solutions".
Dalton Hall Business Centre and Stable Yard areas are "accepting orders", as is Clawthorpe.
If you are not sure if your line is fibre-possible, do use the checker to see (BT lines only) or contact your telephone provider and ask them directly.

Wheels for Alex Campaign - Please Help!
The Wheels 4 Alex Campaign has launched, with the aim of raising £9,000
to buy Alex, who has Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, a Boma 7
Off-road Wheelchair.
Five years ago, Burton in Kendal villager Alex Doherty was diagnosed with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 44. At that time, this father of two young children had his own business as a Professional Outdoor Activities Instructor, working, among other things with companies to encourage teambuilding. He was a highly active person who enjoyed climbing, mountaineering and adventure holidays in his spare time. The effect of this devastating disease has been shockingly rapid over the last five years. Alex is doing everything ‘he can’ to slow down this progression but he is now barely able to use his legs, so we are asking for your help in the Wheels for Alex Campaign, to raise £9,000 to buy Alex some wheels!
You can read more about the Wheels for Alex campaign on our page here: http://burtonweb.org.uk/viewpage.php?page_id=46
If you want to help in any way, the campaign team will be delighted to hear from you:

Protest of Flowers at War Memorials
Families with former and serving members of the armed forces placed
flowers at the Burton war memorial today, in memory of Drummer Lee
Rigby, the soldier murdered in Woolwich on 22 May 2013.
The murder of Lee Rigby, a serving soldier, in Woolwich on 22 May 2013, sent a shock wave through the country, especially within families who have members serving in the military forces. By placing flowers at every war memorial throughout the country we hope to show both that we support our armed service personnel wherever they may be based, and that terrorism in any form will not bring us down.
Anyone who would like to support the campaign is asked to lay flowers at the war memorial. The campaign's webpage may be found here: www.facebook.com/events/148533981999928/

Children's Sports Day rained off
How sad that, after a few days of fine sunny and warm weather, the cold and wet returned today, causing the abandonment of the annual children's sports day races and stalls today (Spring Bank Holiday Monday). After all the hard work and planning by the sports committee the SPACE-themed parade made its way round the village before the clouds gathered again, the rain poured down, and races were stopped. The stall holders battled on awhile, but by 2.30pm they had accepted the inevitable and were packing everything away.
Some damp Daleks lay in a trailer, the TARDIS was parked on someone's driveway, and the chairs and tables were loaded back into vans for their return trip to the Memorial Hall. Lots of the younger men from the village were out doing a sterling job in horrible conditions, whilst some of the mums and kids sheltered on the bowling pavilion terrace, whilst others had given up and gone home.
Those looking after the still well-stocked burger and bun stall were planning how to migrate it all over to the Hall for tonight's family disco, whilst the team with the stop-me-and-buy-a-coffee bicycle stall were tipping water off their canopy before heading for a drier place. This is such a busy and popular event, and it's sad when it's rained off like this, but at least everyone will have this evening's family disco to look forward to in the Memorial Hall... and there may be a few burgers going too!

Oh what a night!
I make no apologies for stealing a song title to describe last night's gig at the Kings Arms in Burton, as it was such a fab night of music and songs.
Southend's finest (who are both now Cumbrian residents), Mickey Jupp and Mo Witham played for almost 3 hours in the bar, getting through a 3-part set list of some 25 songs, many of which were written by Mickey himself.
People came from near and far to listen, there were even fans from London, the Midlands and Ireland! Mickey and Mo clearly enjoyed the intimate atmosphere of the bar, as well as the excellent beer, and the audience obviously enjoyed their performance!
For anyone who missed the night, never fear, as Mickey and Mo will be back - they are taking part in an event later this year in the Memorial Hall - more details will be available soon.

Christmas Lights at the Kings Arms Burton
A little bird tells us that the Kings Arms Christmas decorations and lights are going to be spectacular this year. It may cause a spike in the National Grid's power drain when they switch on, but surely they will cheer everyone up and bring a smile to even the more dour of faces these cold December days and nights?
We will send our undercover photographer to get some pictures (we may have to dress him as an elf to blend in, but what the heck!) - but if you can't wait, why not pop along and see for yourself?
