Swatlands Glenfield's Superb New Indian Restaurant

by Amy Russell

AT LAST! Glenfield has a stylish and contemporary Indian cuisine with exceptional quality of food, drink and service. Conveniently situated on Station Road, the restaurant is in walking distance for Glenfield residents, so not only can you indulge in the fabulous menu, but you can also choose from a selection of wines, beers, spirits etc, without the worry of whos going to drive home. Having dined at Swatlands Oadby several times, my expectations of the new restaurant were high from the beginning and I was confident that I could expect the same outstanding quality as I have always experienced. From the moment my family and I walked into the restaurant, the luxurious, modern interior throughout the bar and restaurant area created such a warm, relaxing atmosphere and we were met with a warm welcome from the friendly, pleasant staff, who really went out of their way to make our evening as enjoyable as possible. The impressive menu catered for a variety of tastes, including vegetarian dishes and the staff were more than happy to offer advice on the ingredients and warmth of the dishes, allowing us the space to decide and order at our own pace. We started with papadums with fresh cucumber yoghurt, mango chutney and a range of other pickles to whet our appetites for the following courses, which included a range of delicious appetisers, followed by main dishes including tawa, jalfezi and tikka massala, all served with rice and nan bread. To finish, we ere presented with refreshing icecream infused with mango, coconut and pistachio flavours. The food was perfectly presented and each course was as thoroughly enjoyable as the next. I cant wait to go back and try all of the other tempting dishes on the menu! With attentive staff using the finest ingredients to create contemporary and classic Indian influenced dishes, this is the perfect venue for both groups and couples looking for high quality Indian cuisine served in a stylish and relaxed setting.

Official Opening
A CHARITY Fund raising event at a newly opened restaurant in Glenfield has raised in excess of 6050 without the top up from Gift Aid contributions. Swatlands, the newly opened restaurant on the site of the newsagent and barbers shop in Station Road, opened their doors to guests from all section of the community. Meals were free for the first three nights but the proprietor Kam Dawda asked guests to donate to his two favourite charities the Mablethorpe Childrens Home and the Rainbows Children Hospice. The site of the new restaurant became available because on the morning of New Years Day 2004 a massive explosion in Station Road Glenfield wrecked the newsagents shop, damaged the barbers shop so that it had to be demolished and sufficiently damaged the Glenfield Surgery that temporary alternative premises had to be found. Since then until this year the site has remained derelict. Following protracted planning and building problems Swatlands of Glenfield finally opened. AT THE OFFICIAL OPENING of SWATLANDS Glenfield he representatives of Rainbows Hospice and the Mablethorpe Holiday Home outlined the work that they do and thanked Kam and his Swatland team for the money raised. MIKE JONES, Chairman of Leicestershire County Council, who had earlier officially opened the restaurant, pictured, said that it was really refreshing to find a successful local businessman who was willing to spend part of his time supporting charitable causes. He also thanked Rainbows and the Mablethorpe Home for their splendid efforts on behalf of the young people for whom they provide services. Finally the Chairman said how much his wife Marj and he had enjoyed the food and the surroundings and wished Swatlands every success in the future.

A Mothers Gift
MATTHEW PIETRZYK, who lives with his brother and parents in, Glenfield, is 2 years old. At 5 weeks old he was diagnosed with Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome (CNS), which means that both of Matthews kidneys do not function. The condition is very unusual affecting only 1 baby in every 100,000. Unlike Jonah Lomu Matthew was born with CNS. He has had to have medication every day from when he was diagnosed to keep him alive. Only a kidney transplant will let Matthew lead some form of normal life. Last month he was admitted to hospital to have one kidney removed, which was done with keyhole surgery. In the New Year Matthew is due to have a live kidney transplant from his mother, Nicola, who gave up her work as a Fitness Instructor to be Matthews full time carer. Nikki said Matthew is under the care of Professor Watson at the Nottingham City Hospital and without the care of the Professor and his team I am sure that Matthew would not be with us today.

The Scattered Scruffs!

WHAT AN INTRIGUING title for a talk! Were we in for a tale about missing pedigree dogs? No the tale was much more interesting and true! The Scattered Homes were places where children were sent when their parents couldn't look after them. In this case, Hazel Jacques. with her brothers and sisters, were taken from their parents when, in 1940, they got T. B. Hazel was the only family member not to get tuberculosis, in those days a dread disease. She told her own story of her separation from parents and siblings. Put into the Scattered Home in Leicester she experienced many ups and downs, including the slaps because of her "Cheek!" ,which led to her trying to run away. All this was set against a background of wartime and Anderson Shelters. which brought back memories for many of us. We listened to her story and were glad we had not the misfortune to be ,like Hazel. a child in care!

Bomb Hero Funeral

by Nichola Pell THE FUNERAL of bomb disposal expert Craig Appleby was held in Sussex. He died on October 11, just a day after his 36th birthday, while clearing cluster bombs dropped by Israeli forces during last year's war with Hezbollah. One of the devices exploded, and he suffered fatal injuries. Craig, a soldier with the Royal Engineers for more than 17 years, came from Leicestershire and attended Glenfield County Primary School, Anstey Martin High School, and Birstall Community College, before joining the Army. After leaving the Army he worked as an instructor in bomb disposal. Tony Withers, the scout group leader of 42nd Leicester which Craig attended in the mid-1980s. said: "Craig was a smashing lad who stood out a bit. I knew him between the ages of 11 and 16, and he was really enthusiastic and cheerful. "He was always willing, and wanted to be involved in everything. The last time I saw him was when he came back from a tour of duty in Kuwait, after the first Gulf War. He was a quite a changed guy. He'd seen thing most of us hope never to see. I know he was happy in the Army. We had our cubs writing to him for a long time. Craig had been in Lebanon for a month, working for ArmorGroup Mine Action, a British company, clearing landmines and unexploded bombs. He was working on a clearance programme funded by the United Arab Emirates in support of the UN's Mine Action Co-ordination Centre South Lebanon, based in Tyre. He wrote on the Friends Reunited website that his approach to life was to: "Live a long and prosperous life and enjoy each and every day. After all, it's not a dress rehearsal." ArmorGroup spokesman said: "Craig was a shining example of those who work in this highly dangerous field, without whom local communities are unable to rebuild their lives safely following armed conflict More than 150 of Craigs friends attended his funeral. A service was held in Essex before a military burial in Saffron Walden. Craigs father David said Craig lost a friend in Bosnia and wanted to be buried in the same cemetery.

Jewish Folk Song Tipped Shaun the Sheep heads To Be Christmas Number 1 for the Xmas charts with baa-rilliant single
SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD Lauren Roses recording of Hava Nagila set
to take on might of X Factor When pretty pop singer Lauren Rose recorded a song as a Hanukkah present for her Grandfather she had no idea that bookmakers would soon be offering odds on her beating X Factor to the Christmas number 1 spot. William Hill are currently quoting 66/1 for the petite singer to take the Christmas top spot with her recording of Hava Nagila arguably the most recognisable Jewish folk song.

Lifes A Treat

SHAUN AND HIS farmyard friends Bitzer, the dog, The Naughty Pigs, The Flock, Timmy, Shirley and, of course, The Farmer are starring in a fabulous animated video to be released on December 10th created by Aardman, creators of Wallace & Gromit, Creature Comforts and Shaun the Sheep Lifes A Treat when ewe are with Shaun the Sheep and now the resourceful and charismatic fella is bringing his fun and frolics to the charts with the release of his debut single named appropriately Lifes A Treat. Shaun the Sheep made his TV debut on Christmas Eve 1995 in the Oscar winning short film, Wallace and Gromits A Close Shave. Ten years later he went on to star in his own television show on CBBC and now, loved by millions around the world, he is turning his hoof to the Christmas charts with the release of his theme tune. Vic Reeves, who sings Shauns theme, has encouraged Shaun in his musical mission I wish Shaun all the best with his song and I think he has a very good chance of beating the X Factor winner. But the TV star, who himself topped the charts with Dizzy has some wise words for his wooly friend I have warned Shaun that if he gets to the top of the charts he needs to keep his hooves on the ground Lifes A Treat will be available as an enhanced CD as well as via digital outlets: See the website www.shaunthesheep.com

The helmet camera will allow the officers to record on the spot information in real time. As one contributor said, We should be buying two of these cameras. So if you are a local business and would like to contribute please contact the Parish Council. Further information will be in our next issue.

And a Police Warning

As the cold and frosty mornings start beware if you are leaving you car running to demist windows. Whilst your windows must be clear for safe driving leaving your car with its keys in and the engine running is an easy target for car thieves. If you do this whilst your car is on the highway you are committing an offence and, in the event of theft, the odds are extremely high that your insurance will be invalidated, whether you are on the highway or on your own driveway.

Bus Shelters

The bus shelters on Dominion Road have become a target for vandalism over recent months and one shelter has had to be removed following a traffic accident. The Parish Council has been assured that the removed shelter will be replaced and that the repair of the damaged shelters will be with polycarbonate, rather than glass. The Parish Council has also requested a bus shelter to serve the eldely residents on Harrison Close, Jordon Close and Ellis Close.

Improved Policing

The Parish Council continues to develop initiatives with our Neighbourhood Policing Team and, with the support of local businesses, is improving the Teams presence in the village.

Parking within Glenfield

Parking Wardens are now very active within Glenfield and we remind our residents to follow the marked parking restrictions. Those using the car parks on Stamford Street and Station Road should ensure that they are fully parked within a bay, as straddling a bay line is an offence and may lead to a penalty notice. However, there is some confusion over the use of bays in the corner of the car parks, i.e. those with only one bay line. The Parish Council has sought clarification on the use of these areas and has managed to get a change in guidance given to the wardens and a refund of fines paid following the issue of penalty notices for the use of these areas.

JULIANS FAQs
Welcome to Richer Sounds! Whether youre coming to us for the rst time or have been shopping with us for years, Id like to thank you for visiting us and hope that we can satisfy your requirements on this occasion. HOW LONG HAS RICHER SOUNDS BEEN AROUND? I opened my rst shop at London Bridge in 1978, when I was 19, and Richer Sounds has therefore been successfully trading for some 29 years. According to the Guinness Book of Records (last 16 years), Richer Sounds has the highest sales per sq ft of any retailer in the world. WHAT HAPPENS IF PRODUCTS GO WRONG? Simply return your purchase to your nearest branch (plasma/LCD over 30 - customers contact the Call Centre on 1230 to arrange repair). If the item is less than a month old, you can get a full refund or exchange it (whichever you prefer). If its been longer than this (but less than a year), Richer Sounds engineers will repair it for you free of charge. Excludes styli, abuse and excessive wear n tear, e.g. commercial use. Statutory rights not affected. WE TRY HARD BUT WERE ONLY HUMAN! Due to recent changes in government legislation, my lawyers tell me that it is necessary to employ human beings in our stores (!)

Although I think they are the best youll nd, please dont expect the impossible. I hope that my colleagues and I get it right at least 99% of the time, but even if we do (and were still trying to improve), that means that out of the million customers we serve a year, a few are bound to be disappointed in one way or another. For the sake of future customers as much as yourself, we need to know if weve gone wrong. Please help us. All receipts include a short questionnaire that we beg you to ll in, because, if weve done something wrong we cant put it right if we dont know about it. I insist on seeing every one (youll notice theyre addressed to me personally, postage paid), and if youre disappointed in any way, well do our best to make you happy!
