Advent Window Trail

Advent is the time of preparation and reflection that prepares Christians for the arrival of Jesus at Christmas. We ready ourselves by reflecting on the events in the Christmas story, doing good for others and trying to be lights in the world. Advent 2020 begins on Sunday, November 29th and ends on Thursday, 24th December The world needs us to bring light into others’ lives more than ever. Would you like to bring some joy and light to our community this December?

Mrs Turner is organising a living Advent calendar throughout Langar, Barnstone and the surrounding villages. · 24 volunteers agree to decorate a street facing window on a nativity theme. Mrs Turner will assign each volunteer to a date for the window to appear. · A new window appears every day from 1st to 24th December (and if possible is lit so that it can be seen in the dark). · Each window remains displayed from the first day of it appearing until 1st January · Details of where and when the windows will be appearing are then published and displayed so that anyone can go around the community and enjoy the advent display.

Please let Mrs Turner know via the office email (office@langar.notts.sch.uk) if you would like to take part as she will then assign a date to you. It would be great to have at least 24 windows appearing during December but if there are more, we can have more than one window appear each day.

Broadband

November 27th, 2020

Nottinghamshire County Council have invested £750,000 in order to help deliver high-speed broadband to the most rural parts of the county. The £750,000 investment is to support the government’s ‘Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme’ which delivers subsidy to rural homes and businesses without access to high-speed broadband to help deploy a full-fibre network. Under the scheme residential premises are eligible for up to £1,500 and small and medium sized businesses are eligible for up to £3,500 through a registered supplier when part of a group scheme. The Notts top-up doubles the value of the voucher, meaning rural residential premises are eligible for up to £3,000, and small and medium sized rural business are eligible for up to £7,000. For further details on the scheme and to see if your property is eligible please visit www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/top-up or contact the team at enquiries.broadband@nottscc.gov.uk
