Rushcliffe Police are holding an afternoon beat surgery at Ruddington Library today to provide advice or discuss any police related local issues.
PCSO Tony Davies will be attending from 3.00pm to 4.00pm. Surgeries are held on various other days and times and further ones will be advertised a few days before the event.
In fact, Tony is in Ruddington on patrol most days that he is on duty, and would be very happy to speak with any residents. So, if you see PCSO Davies, please feel free to stop him for a chat about police related matters.
However, please do not wait for the surgery to report any crimes as they should be rung through on 101 to the force control room as soon as you realise a crime has been committed – or dial 999 if a crime is in progress.

These eight sessions, starting tonight and then being held weekly in The Old Chapel, are orientated towards improving overall health and well-being for adults.
The course is aimed at:-
- Anyone with an interest in exploring meditation and wanting to gain an awareness of the patterns of their own mind
- Anyone who is curious about how we can use mindfulness and meditation skills within daily life to manage stress, anxiety or mood
- Anyone who wishes to cultivate skills towards thriving in your health and fitness, hobbies, home, work and family life.
Jakki says: “The real meditation is how you live your life. Appreciate the small things, live in the moment. Come away with ‘tools’ to deal better with life’s difficult moments. React less to situations and respond more calmly. Give time for yourself and embrace self-awareness to give more control of emotions and deal with stressful situations in a new & different way.”
The sessions are also designed for those who wish to find greater contentment, self-compassion happiness and appreciation. No previous experience of mindfulness or meditation is required. The course is aimed at complete beginners to offer a clear and enlightening introduction to mindfulness. For those with experience, it provides a refresher and an opportunity to deepen practice.
