FREE TREE SCHEME

/in /by

Free Trees Scheme, which is now open.

 

This year the council is giving away 27000 trees as part of our declared climate emergency. These trees will absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon over the next 40 years (assuming they all survive).

 

Community groups and parish councils can apply for up to 20 trees and up to 30 metres of hedging and we hope as many of you as possible will be able to join us and plant trees within your parishes and other community buildings  to both fight climate change and support wildlife.

 

The scheme launches on 26 September and you will need to be able to collect your trees on the weekend of 26/27 November. Click on the link in the attached document to find out how you can apply for your trees.  We recommend you apply asap to avoid disappointment as we expect a high demand. Please follow the link belwo for more details.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 21 April 1926 – 8th September 2022 A message of condolence from Sheepy Parish Council

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

21 April 1926 – 8th September 2022

A message of condolence from Sheepy Parish Council

 

Sheepy Parish Council and its parishioners are deeply saddened to learn about the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 8th September 2022.

Since 6th February 1952 when she became Queen, Her Majesty’s life has been dedicated to serving this nation and its people. As the longest reigning monarch, her presence has been a comfort and source of strength in a rapidly changing world and Her Majesty’s hard- working dedication has been a source of inspiration to so many.

A book of condolence will be in Sheepy Parish Church and will be open throughout the mourning period, there will also be a Hinckley and Bosowrth Borough Council condolence book at Twycross Zoo.
Floral tributes can be left under the village Sign and at the beacon in Sheepy Magna and at the village signs in Sheepy Parva, Sibson and Upton.

She will be greatly missed and the impact her reign has had will not be forgotten. May she rest in peace.

 

Dr Rob Ward

Chair, Sheepy Parish Council

OPEN DAY AT THE MUSEUM

/in /by

We’ve got lots of activities on for kids and adults. The Sir John Moore Foundation Museum is normally only open by appointment only, because it is above a school. It is also up several flights of stairs!

 

But for the annual Open Day I’m able to put exhibitions downstairs in accessible rooms, and have games and activities for kids. We’ve also got refreshments, an interactive Victorian lesson in our Victorian classroom, and hourly tours of the museum.

 

And the whole thing is free! (Donations welcome)

 

 

Sir John Moore Foundation, Appleby Magna DE12 7AH. Back in time for school! For a fun family day out, come to our Open Day. With a 17th century clock, an early 20th century Punishment Book, and a collection spanning over three centuries, there’s a lot to see at the Sir John Moore Foundation Museum. Explore what it was like to work, learn and live at one of the country’s oldest schools – but watch out for our Victorian teacher!
