The Rutland Comedy Night has great pleasure in introducing the great Neil Innes to their stage this
September!

Best known for his collaborative work with Monty Python, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and the Rutles,
including his now cult-classic shows for BBC2’s ’The Innes Book of Records’, Innes will be bringing his
new solo show here packed full of his signature brand of musical brilliance.

‘..if I could describe what I do on stage in a sentence or two….then there would be absolutely no need for me to go on stage and do it!’
The show is wry, poignant and humorous, with anecdotes from Innes’ life and times in the world media. Added to this hilarious mix will be new songs and material with plenty of audience participation to tickle the emotions.
Fine musicianship, hilarious comedy and enlightened lyricism, this show has it all in a nutshell; a witty look at modern life told by one of comedy’s greats.
‘Difficult to describe - it has to be experienced! Go and see it!’

a plain co-worker.

Parisian couple settle down to look forward to the rest of their lives together. But then Francois
dies in a jogging accident. Devastated Nathalie copes with this trauma by throwing herself into
her work for the next three years. Then something entirely unexpected happens.

On an impulse, she kisses shy and rather ordinary Swedish colleague Markus (Francois Damiens).
Her friends are aghast, but the unlikely relationship soon begins to blossom. Adapted by French
author David Foenkinos from own his award-winning bestseller, this delightful, whimsical romantic
comedy gives pixie-esque 'Amelie' star Audrey Tautou another chance to shine in a romantic role.

Volunteering, Oakham Library, Catmos Street, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6HW Rutland County Council

Now Rutland County Council has cropped its staff total, it is now looking to boost this once more with Volunteer Opportunities.

They are asking:

Could you give up sometime to help out in your local library?

They say you will gain from volunteering in Rutland Libraries.
A chance to meet people, Oakham Library still bans talking accept when they have the pre school group in when every effort by staff to keep silence is thrown out the window, especially if there is a birthday celebrations don't mind this rule, if anyone has visited Stamford Library you will noticed most rules have been binned and it can be a very noisy place at times.

They say its an opportunity to learn more about books and the library service, it will give you a sense of achievement with helping people from different backgrounds, and different ages. access a library and choose their next read.

Experience to add to a CV.

I noticed charity shops are now starting to create more paid positions because they are failing to attract volunteers. If there is a need for these staff I think Rutland County Council should be paying.

They will be offering Volunteers support, A induction to the library Service, Support and guidance for your role, Training on their procedures relevant to the role, agreed out of pocket expenses where relevant, An opportunity to attend volunteer coffee mornings, some roles may have additional training opportunities. All the above is offered to paid staff.

There are opportunities available right now at Oakham Library.

How to apply?

Take a look at the volunteering opportunities on the "do-it" website at http://www.do.it.org.uk/

A couple of Oakham Volunteering Job descriptions clearly match those responsibilities once carried out by paid staff.
