The Royal Visit on 8th March 2012

Leicester is to be the first stop on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Cambridge, will visit the city on Thursday 8th March.

The royal party are set to visit De Montfort University and Leicester Cathedral, where they will have lunch, before making their way to the Clock Tower in the city centre.

Welcome from the City Mayor

They will be welcomed by the City Mayor Peter Soulsby, Deputy City Mayor Cllr Rory Palmer, and Assistant City Mayor Cllr Manjula Sood.

The City Mayor will present the Queen with a gift from the City of Leicester.

A honour for Leicester

City Mayor Peter Soulsby said: “It is a great honour for Leicester to be the first stop on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour.

“The eyes of nation and indeed the world will be upon our city, and I am confident that between the city council, the Cathedral and De Montfort University we will give the Royal party an outstanding welcome that the whole city can be proud of.

“I hope that people from across the county will come to the city centre to share in our celebrations and to mark this historic event.”

A military band will lead with the playing of the national anthem before the Royal visitors leave.

New store opening Oakham Fat Face a good chance of finding employment?

I sent my CV very promptly I was pleased to receive a very prompt reply: Not something many employers do but appreciated especially when locals connected to the Council tell you to your face your a a lazy arse and worse by unsigned letters.

There was a job at Travis Perkins once but I was only told about it after the job had been filled very helpful considering the managers (councillors) words used to search for me on line.

Councillor Peter Jones Arts for Rutland is running the Four Winds Festival at Rutland Water

 Mr Peter W Jones (Conservative) - OAKHAM SOUTH WEST WARD begged members of Rutland County Council for Sponsorship for his new event called Four Winds Festival, which is a one-off addition for this year, will be run as part of Rutland Festival Fortnight between June 16 and July 3.
Peter Jones Arts for Rutland is running the Four Winds Festival at Rutland Water on June 25 and 26, which will include a performance called The Way the Winds Blow.
The production is based on the history of the area and the Gwash Valley and will also tell the story of Rutland Water’s many passing visitors, such as the ospreys who migrate each year to Africa.
He said the event will include a choir of more than 300 singers accompanied by a brass band, a concert orchestra and an African percussion band. There will also be cultural activities for the family over the two days. The Way the Winds Blow is being funded by a £20,000 grant by the Cultural Olympiad, a regional body of funders which is backing projects in the run-up to the London 2012 Olympics. Arts for Rutland has also applied for a £25,000 grant from Arts Council England. But he feels this international event needs sponsors. He is also expecting to sell 5000 tickets for each show.

If you are a rich company and want to sponsor the event please contact Cllr Peter Jones.

Rutland And Melton Conservative Association Funding Questions?

I have been asked the following questions, at the moment I can't give the questioner a answer.

Money was paid into The Rutland and Melton Conservative Association Current Account to pay the interest and payment due on the Associations debt of £65k.

Is there any financial connection between the Association and Rutland County Council?

Is this the reason why the Chief Executive Helen Briggs is not releasing the Bank Statements for the poorly invested £19,000,000?

Will the statements show payments paid to the Conservative Association?

The Council has invested millions in a London council so why not the local Conservative Association ?

Rutland Air Training Corps Parade Photographs Oakham And Tally Ho Band Melton Mowbray

Oakham Police turned out in force today to police a parade by the ATC led by Melton Mowbray Tally Ho Band.

No one knows what the parade marked, the local press did not know either? Oakham Town Council clearly knew on Wednesday but only released brief details at the public meeting. One member of the public thought it was a 50th aniversary.

Leicestershire Police saw the parade passed smoothly. for me it was tarnish by the rude man carrying the Standard for the British Legion. I question why? because after the event he rudely approached me and told me he did not want me photographing him. I checked with the local police hence the delay in publishing this blog, They could not see any reason why I should not publish a photograph of Rutland's British Legions Representative. I suggest if he does not want to be seen in public, then in future give the job to a more respectable person, may I suggest Mr Savage MBE a very respectable man. When will these local establishment bullies grow up?

Local officer waits in Northgate Oakham to escort parade.

Cllr Dewis and Lucas wait in the High Street Oakham for the parade to pass  
(Cllr Dewis is the gentleman who finds it acceptable to lie and falsely accuse me in his Standards for England Statement)
 he is currently protected by the local government act so I can publish his or the Clerks Statement to prove his lies, All I will say is, I may have been provoked into unproffesional behaviour by people like him, but I can assure you I don't lie like them.

Cllr Dewis confessing his sins, lying and bullying to the Chaplain whilst Cllr Sharon Spencer Mayor of Oakham Town Council chats with Cllr Lucas.

Cllr Alf Dewis speaks to the wife of Dr Laurence Howard JP PhD, he is Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for Rutland, she pointed kindly pointed out to the High Sheriff of Rutland I was attempting to take a photograph of her, the High Sheriff of Rutland said not him! something I would expect from a former town clerk and friend of Oakham Town Richard White.


What I found refreshing is real dignatories know how to behave and do so in a way that is befitting of their public position.


Dr Laurence Howard JP PhD,  Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for Rutland and his wife also smile and say hello I politely return the greeting. 


Oakham Town Councillors and the other members of the Rutland Mob huddle together point and behave rather strangely, I am sure they forget the public are watching. Although they did keep this event rather secret so there were none of the normal crowds lining the street.

 

Oakham Town Council never keep their word they agreed I could take photographs for my blog at public events. So why do I end up with a photograph like this. If this is how they want the world to see them then thats fine by me.

Left to right 

Mr Lucas a local Mason and husband of Cllr Joyce Lucas, he is the gentleman a member of the public reported to a PCSO for drink driving and the PSCO from Oakham took no action.

The next man with the chain ?

And last but not least once again Cllr Joyce Lucas turns her back to me.

The Rutland Royal British Legion Standard bearer who rudely said I was not to photograph him before he went of to drink beer in the Catmose club his preference to the tea on offer at the ATC. 

If he does not like the public to photograph him (me) then why take up such a predominate responsibility, would he not be better staying at home or with the rest of the Rutland Bullies Brigade?

Dr Laurence Howard JP PhD,  Her Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for Rutland  always happy to be photographed.

Now the parade.


Please note if you see yourself in any of the photographs and wish to download for free, please consider paid photographers Oliver is the nice photographer in red he works for the poor Rutland Times and I am sure you will find his photographs are better quality. The fee is only a few pounds per photograph and your mum or dad would I am sure be only to pleased to buy a frame for it.  Despite what the local mob tell the Department for Employment I don't sell any of my photographs of Local events I am happy to share for free.
Thank you.

 A new trick I have learnt is to see a person like the High Sheriff approaching turn away, hold camera down low and snapping and then I get a result like below a nice photograph of our High Sheriff in blue smiling with out her turning her head away, I practiced this recently at another event and caught some nice shot of Cllr Jones now he knows how I did it!
