Public fear of Anti Social Behaviour from squaddies in Oakham Rutland

Public fear of Anti Social Behaviour from squaddies in Oakham Rutland

As Rutland prepares to welcome a new regiment to Cottesmore this year.

A member of the public questioned the Chief Constable last night.

"These men are trained to fighter" "who like to drink"
and this was likely to contribute to the already serious problem of late night
anti social behaviour.

Simon Cole Chief Constable for Leicester constabulary was quick to distance
himself from the comments.

He went on reassure the gentleman the police work closely with the Ministry of
Defence Police and he personally felt there Army would not bring anymore problem
and Leicester Constabulary will not be increasing resources.

Whether it was RAF or Army personnel based at Cottemore there was no need for
concern.

Conservative leader of Rutland County Council Roger Begy said, He thought the Army
might come and visit Oakham once and then leave and go onto to enjoy Stamford
where they are more likely to enjoy the night life and find more girls.

I am not sure what that says about Oakham.

The public perception of the Army personnel seems to be quite different from that of #
the RAF.

One female shop owner told me I do hope Catmose will be increasing its safer sex
education lessons for its older girls!

John Hegley: The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet Verse 2012: Stamford Poetry Festival

John Hegley: The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet

Mon 2 Apr. 2pm

Verse 2012: Stamford Poetry Festival Tales about a Frenchman with some unusual [but clean] habits, which include burying his dog's kennel and his own luggage pieces. The stories appear alongside other new works, which include an address to aliens on the subject of transport, a poem about a non-talking parrot and some animal impersonations with the aid of a handkerchief.




The audience are invited to sing along. But not to dance. Much.
Hegley is known as a poet and singer with a common and comedic touch, hence the quotation from The Observer, 'Awesomely mundane'

'Typically brilliant songs and stories about a Gallic small-town hero with a dog called Chirac' - The Guardian

Suitable for most people over 7

Shetland Boy Mark Grist Verse 2012: Stamford Poetry Festival

Shetland Boy

Sat 31 Mar. 7pm
 
Verse 2012: Stamford Poetry Festival

During this weekend Mark will be facilitating workshops and performing as one half of the hugely successful poetry duo 'Dead Poets', performing his one-man poetry show 'Shetland Boy', hosting the 'Pint of Poetry' open mic, writing poems for the Poetry Takeaway and available to chat to in the Open Surgery on Saturday afternoon.

Mark has been touring nationally for the past year. During this time, he's met loads of people, and then forgotten pretty much all of them. Most people can remember names. Or dates. Or the location of their hotel. Most people can remember where they grew up; or the street they lived in. But Mark can't. Which is odd. Particularly if all those early things people can remember happened on an island with less than a thousand inhabitants; with seals and puffins and bogs and Vikings and the fastest wind speed ever recorded in the UK.
Well, enough is enough. In his new one man show, Mark attempts to teach his memory who's boss whilst rediscovering Britain's most remote island, Unst. Come and enjoy his lyrical storytelling ... and absurdly big hat.

Mark Grist has been an English teacher and performance poet since 2005. He's been Peterborough's Poet Laureate in 2008, Chief Bard of the Fens in 2009 and a UK Slam Championship finalist in 2010. Mark's had many of his pieces for children published and is currently completing his first full collection, 'Arthur is Ugly'. Mark is also currently working for the CCE and Writer's Centre Norwich as a literacy consultant and delivers intervention in English teaching to over 30 schools in the country. Mark also completed his Masters in Life and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths, London earlier this year.
