Welbeck
Welfare Football Club, based in Meden Vale are wondering where the
local players have disappeared to. We are regenerating our mens team
to play in the Central Midlands League for Season 2010/11 and so far
the locals, who think they know a thing or two about football have
not appeared interested, which is a shame. There must be plenty of 16 + males out there who fancy a challenge. If so please contact Graham Hall on 01623 843108 or 07791 155891 for more details. We are presently training on the Colliery ground at Meden Vale each Saturday at 2.00 p.m. And Wednesday at 7.00 p.m. Why not come and give it a try. |

Pool Update |
Posted 30th June 2010 - Report of Select Commission 1 (Housing & Environment) To Portfolio Holder for the Environment For Delegated Decision On 7 July, 2010 - Full Report>>>>> Documents available for download>>> Mansfield District Council Select Commission 1 Discussions on the Swimming Pool at Meden Sport Centre. A report is to be considered in the next few weeks by the Portfolio Holder for the Environment – Councillor Eddie Smith – regarding the future of Meden Sports Centre. The report is expected to recommend the closure of the Meden Sports Centre swimming pool, with the reasoning that the maintenance costs are becoming proportionately excessive and the facility is beyond its original intended life expectancy.

| Council Tax Scam |
MDC issued a press release today warning residents about a scam whereby a caller saying they're from the council tell residents their council tax band has been reduced. They then ask the resident for their bank details so they can pay them a refund. MDC say this is not the way they operate and they would NOT ask for bank details over the phone. If anyone phones you Do NOT give your bank details. Read More>>> |
Beware of Conmen! |
A team of hard selling cons are working in this area. They are phoning elderly people and saying they're calling about their arthritis and may also say they'll help you to get additional benefits such as attendance allowance.. They make an appointment to visit, usually the next day. They are nothing to do with the Health Service of Welfare Rights. They are a private company selling mobility aids. Please make all your elderly relatives and neighbours aware of this. Read more about this on the forum>>> |

OUR Swimming! |
At the Annual Parish Meeting on 15th March The Meden Pool was top of the agenda. The Mayor pledged his support in helping a working party to find £70,000 per year that is needed to maintain the pool and keep it open until Meden School is rebuilt. It is then hoped funding for a new pool will have been identified. The working party has now been formed with members of the Parish Council, members of the community and an officer from MDC.

| Warsop Tyre Dump Blaze |
Friday
29th May 2009 - Nottinghamshire Firefighters are battling
to contain a fire at the Oakfield Lane tyre dump that broke out just
before 10pm tonight. Specialist firefighting equipment has been brought
in to pump water directly from the river Meden to the source of the
fire and a police helicopter was called in to help ground crew. Residents
living close to the fire have been evacuated to a rest centre and
roads around Warsop are closed. It is thought the fire may burn for
several days. See
