Bassingham Junior Football Club is now recruiting players for its Under 8 team. We are hoping to increase our number of players for this season and would welcome boys or girls from school years 3 and 2 to join us. We train at the Bassingham Memorial Playing Fields on Friday evenings at 5.30pm for about an hour and a half.

Under the current FA ruling, no junior football team under the age of 9 is permitted to play in a competitive match but as a club we have joined the New Newark Youth League under 8‟s which allows us to play a programme of friendly matches for the 2011/12 season. These fixtures are played (home and away) on alternating Saturday mornings.

If your child would like to join our club, please contact:-

Kart Racing: Aurora Team Enterprise - Raising Money for Cancer Research UK

Visit the Project at the Waddington Air Show

THE Aurora Project was born in late 2002 after several successful seasons of racing had been completed in the National Kart Championships. Our aims are to break up to 8 existing National and International 250cc land speed records with distances varying from 500 metres up to 1 mile. The records are to be attempted along the main runway at Waddington in early November 2005 or April 2006, weather permitting. The runway will be lined with timing beacons to capture the Kart as it motors along, then the team have to turn round and commence the return run within the hour to qualify for any records. The Karts usually run in a class together utilising race circuits such as Silverstone, Cadwell and Donington to name a few. Speeds of 140mph are reached just 3cms off the ground, which is quite exciting in the wet.

The Aurora Project is committed to raising money for Cancer Research UK and the team can be seen with the Kart at the Waddington Air Show alongside the Waddington Kart Club in Hanger 3. Come along and sign your name on the Kart, enter the prize draw or just meet the team as they endeavour to enter the record books right here in Lincolnshire.

Are You Interested In Playing Badminton?

Bassingham Badminton Club Update

I would like to start by saying thank-you to everyone who contacted me with an interest in a Badminton Club in Bassingham. To date I have had well over 60 people of all ages who would like to see a club in the Hammond Hall & Sports Centre. Following the decision by Bassingham Parish Council (PC) to deny lines to be applied to the Sports Centre’s floor for the purpose of Badminton, I wrote a letter of complaint to the PC, they eventually replied stating that as the decision was made on the 14th Oct 2010, under it’s Standing Orders, a decision of the Council could not be re-visited for 6 months from the date of the decision unless 6 members of the Council had delivered a written application to do so, suffice to say, to date, the decision remains.

The PC has suggested that we could use a Badminton mat, cost would be in excess of £4000, weight approx 400kgs and nowhere to store it or use the School Hall, which is very prohibitive for when we could hire the hall and is a less suitable venue for Badminton. This decision is very disappointing as there is an obvious desire for such a club, not only does it provide us with an additional leisure and sporting activity for the community, encouraging a more healthy lifestyle but it also would provide additional income to help with the upkeep of the building, and secondly, I believe we are poorly placed as a village if we were to seek additional money for the Hall from any Sports Funding bodies. In conclusion, singly I cannot change the decision of the Parish Council, the desire for such a club for the community is there, we have a Sports Centre ideal for this activity but we don’t have the approval from the Parish Council, perhaps those people who are interested in a Badminton Club could write individually to the Parish Council expressing their desire for such a club? Please contact me if you have any questions or ideas.
