The 2010 Uppingham Fete, Flower and Produce Show has been judged an outstanding success with many compliments being directed toward the organising committee by local charities and show entrants. Visitors from as far afield as the North East of England saw the show opened by Cllr Edward Bains, Chairman of Rutland County Council and award winners announced at the end of the show by Sarah Forsyth, Rutland's High Sherrif. Uppingham Town Mayor Peter Rees spent the day working on the Age Concern Tombolla Stall helping to raise funds for the local branch of Age Concern where he is a Trustee. Rtn Phil Marston, President of the Rotary Club of Uppingham said, "The Organising Committee have done an excellent job this year. The Rotary Club stall almost doubled its takings for charity compared with last year. We are grateful to the Committee for creating such an excellent day out for the local community and providing a low cost opportunity to assist those in need."

A Rutland County Council Working Party is being asked this week to consider writing to five voluntary/third sector organisations in Rutland seeking an analysis of the impact that either a 10% or 25% cut in grant aid might have on their voluntary service provision. Included in the list are Voluntary Action Rutland, Age Concern and the Citizens Advice Bureau. It is understood that the County Council are currently seeking to save around £3M based on a 25% reduction in cental government funding. Commenting on the proposal, Uppingham Neigbourhood Forum Coordinator Ron Simpson, who chairs the Rutland Voluntary Sector Consortium said, "This is an anxious time for all who work and volunteer in the sector. The need for savings is understood by everyone. It is intended that RCC will conduct a very careful impact assessment based upon colleagues responses to the letter before proposing any changes to the current levels of grant aid." |
