The team at Beatsworkin' in Barnstaple has created a Christmas tree made entirely out of old skateboard decks.

The decks, which have been generously donated by customers and friends, form the main parts of the tree while posters and flyers were used to create baubles for decoration.

"We wanted to do something for Christmas that reflected our business, so we decided on the skate deck tree," said owner Glenn Field.

"It's the first year that we've put up Christmas decorations, so this was really fun to do."

A total of 16 decks were used to create the tree, which was designed and constructed by the staff and friends of the shop.

Glenn said: "We asked friends and customers to bring in their old decks, it was difficult because people are quite attached to their boards; but we had some great donations.

"A friend of ours, Denz, is a carpenter and can pretty much construct anything, so with the guys at the shop we all got together and contributed ideas to design this tree.

"We've had an amazing response from everyone and we're really pleased with how it's come together. The people who donated their boards have been coming into the shop to look for their deck on the tree which is really nice!"

Beatsworkin' on Queens Street Barnstaple is open for late night shopping every Thursday until 9pm, and is open every day of the week 10am to 6pm. The shop will also be open on Boxing Day.

Justice NM Kasliwal, who has been appointed by the Supreme Court to oversee the Rajasthan Cricket Association elections, has cleared Lalit Modi to contest the polls on December 19.

Lalit Modi has been cleared to fight the Rajasthan Cricket Association presidential elections on Thursday. Justice NM Kasliwal, who has been appointed by the Supreme Court to oversee the RCA elections, said on Wednesday that there were no objections to Modi's nomination filed by his lawyer Mehmood Abdi.

Modi has been RCA president in the past. He came into power via the Rajasthan Sports Act (2005) which was specially created when BJP's Vasundhara Raje was Rajasthan Chief Minister. Modi was banned for life by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in September this year after a committee found him guilty of wrongdoings as commissioner of the Indian Premier League. Modi has challenged the ban in court.

The BCCI has threatened to strip off RCA of all rights and privileges it enjoys as a Board unit if Modi is elected president. Modi, who is at loggerheads with the BCCI bosses, especially president N. Srinivasan, is claiming that he has the support of at least 25 RCA units. There are 33 votes in all and the RCA elections will be governed by the Rajasthan Sports Act (2005).

New Delhi: Decks have been cleared finally for the passage of the Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday with all parties barring the Samajwadi Party, which walked out of the House in protest but did not disrupt enough the proceedings, reaching a consensus on it and supporting the bill during the debate.

As Anna Hazare's fast entered its eighth day in his native village in Maharashtra, the Bill for which he fought is all set to be passed now. Anna Hazare is reportedly watching the proceedings of the House from his fast venue.

"We want to pass the Bill," said Leader of Opposition in Parliament Arun Jaitley, adding that the political atmosphere has changed in India and federalism and battle against corruption cannot co-exist.

Speaking on the debate, Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal thanked all for the consensus and said people are fed up with corruption at even the highest level.

"It is the time for us to celebrate the consensus on the bill," he said.

Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) member Sitaram Yechury even wanted to skip the lunch to debate the bill.

While BJP wants to keep the private bodies out of Lokpal's jurisdiction, Yechury said it should come under its purview to target the supply side of corruption.

"The jurisdiction of the Lokpal predominantly should be where government revenue is involved," said Jaitley in the debate.

The House earlier on Tuesday was adjourned till noon following an uproar over several issues, even before a discussion on the Lokpal Bill could be initiated.

As soon as Rajya Sabha Chairperson Hamid Ansari asked the government to initiate the discussion on the Lokpal Bill, Samajwadi Party (SP) MPs started uproar over price rise, while the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) created ruckus over the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) summit in Sri Lankan capital Colombo.
