Kimberley Miners Welfare FC celebrate 100th birthday with completion of ground improvements
 Final improvements have been made at Kimberley Miners Welfare Recreation Ground, also known as ‘The Stag Ground’, as the club celebrated their 100th birthday on Saturday 29 August.
Improvements over the summer, part funded by the Kimberley Means Business Fund, included upgraded floodlights, improved drainage under the pitch, creating a more durable playing surface and improved experience for players, and new pitch barriers, which allow the club to bring in extra revenue from advertising.
Bursting on to the scene – it’s the Broxtowe Banger!
 Mayor of Broxtowe, Councillor Barbara Carr has partnered with Meat 4 u in Beeston and Barlows Butchers in Newthorpe to create a sizzling new sausage: the Broxtowe Banger!
This isn’t just any sausage – it’s a banger for a grill-iant cause. Both butchers will make a donation to the Mayor’s chosen charities, Broxtowe Youth Homelessness and Age UK Nottinghamshire, at the end of her term based on the number of sausages sold.
So head over to Meat 4 u or Barlows Butchers, meat the banger, and relish in the knowledge you’ve done something good for Broxtowe. You could do wurst!

- 1st – Sam Arumugum
