Welcome to the March 2022 issue of the Barnby Dun & Edenthorpe Arrow.
Please remember to mention the Arrow wherever you use the local businesses that advertise. The Arrow relies heavily on the support of the local businesses advertising their goods or services. Without them it would not be possible every month. Also, remember that we have a business directory listing at the back of the magazine. If you are looking for a local tradesman, electrician, plumber, tiler etc, you should find what you are looking for, if not throughout the magazine then hopefully in the business directory. Look out for the new additions each month. The cost for advertising in the Business Directory is £30 plus vat for a 12 month entry. Please contact me if you would like your business details including. The deadline for the April issue is Thursday 17th March.

Friends of Quarry Park It’s been a busy start to the new year for the volunteers. Our January work party had to be postponed due to bad weather, but we met up the following week on Friday 14th. There were 7 volunteers and support from two DMBC staff. One of the team did some litter picking, concentrating around the zip line area, collecting a substantial amount of litter. The rest of the team set about repairing, sanding, cleaning and varnishing the information boards dotted around the park. It was a beautiful sunny morning so perfect drying conditions for this task. Although it is still very early in the year, the park looked stunning in the winter sunshine and there were many people and their dogs taking advantage of the good weather. Following the work party, we were advised that DMBC have donated 700 daffodil bulbs for planting in the park, so on 28th January 4 volunteers set about planting the bulbs on the banks and in various other places around the park. It was hard going as the ground is very hard at this time of year but with great determination, they managed to get most of them planted! It was a great opportunity to use one of our recent purchases too – a folding trolley which is excellent for transporting equipment around the park. The February work party took place on a cold and windy Friday 4th. There were 10 volunteers, 2 of whom were new recruits, along with a DMBC staff member. It was great to welcome the new volunteers, Dan and Debra, especially as they brought cake for everyone!! Our main objective was to complete the varnishing of the information boards as they needed a second coat. They are looking very smart now! We also had some daffodil bulbs left to plant so 4 of the volunteers set about completing this job. Hopefully there will be a lovely show of colour in Spring for visitors to enjoy. During the morning we had a special visitor. Councillor David Fiennes-Gregory who is the Hatfield Town Council Mayor, joined us for refreshments and presented the Friends of Quarry Park with a symbolic cheque for £200. We really appreciate Councillor Fiennes-Gregory taking the time to visit us and chat about our projects. We finished off the morning with a litter pick around the perimeter of the park. Funding is very important to our group to enable ongoing work to maintain and enhance the park’s facilities, and we have been very successful with our Grant applications recently. The first was for £200, from DMBC Councillor Glynis Smith's Member’s Ward Budget which we used to purchase a new storage facility and insurance for our equipment. The second, for £263, was for more tools and the all terrain buggy to transport our equipment around the park, courtesy Hatfield Town Council. We are very grateful for this essential financial support and we have more great grant news next month so watch this space! Work parties are usually held on the first Friday of each month, weather permitting. There is. always plenty of work to be done, from litter picking, clearing paths and cutting back vegetation. Equipment is provided but please ensure you wear suitable clothing and footwear. The next event is scheduled for Friday 4th March at 10am – 12 noon, meet at the Green Flag. Full details will be published on our Facebook page ‘Friends of Quarry Park’ or you can email us at thequarrypark@gmail.com

THORNE CAMERA CLUB The art of photography offers more than just a single printed or a digital projected image. Images can be presented in the form of 'Audio – Visual' (AV) display in which the photographer presents a series of images that tell a story over a wide spectrum of subjects ranging from amusing situations to social commentary on life and accompanied with an appropriate piece of music, commentary or both. There are a number of programmes available for the photographer to use in order to produce an AV which guide the author through the various stages of production and providing a wide range of options of visual effects on both the image and the transition between the images. A well produced AV is very rewarding to the author and provides good entertainment and food for thought for those who watch. The club is very lucky to have Graham Linley, the club's expert on AV's, who gave an entertaining presentation on how to produce and edit an AV giving tips and hints based on his experience. The evening ended with a contribution from other club members with their AV's on various topics. Ray Bramall ARPS DPAGB APAGB EFIAP was invited to judge our Open Print Competition. The number of entries was excellent and covered a wide range of subjects. Ray gave a short but concise critique of each entry and his final choice of the entries were 1st Allen Denby with James Carew, 2nd Terry Gunnill with Gold 10 and 3rd Terry Gunnill with Shambles, Highly Commended entries David Ulyett (2) Lynda Ulyett and Terry Gunnill, Commended entries Bob Allen (2) and Lynda Ulyett. Well done to all the winners and thank you to all the members who contributed to the excellent exhibition of prints on the evening. The club held it's first outing of the year with an evening visit to Lakeside Doncaster for an 'After Dark' Photo Shoot. The evening was a little on the cold side but thankfully the wind had dropped. Six members arrived at the meeting point and walked partially round the lake and on to the island before returning to the meeting point. A good night was had by all! We welcome any of the readers of our column interested in photography of whatever experience to join us on Monday evenings at 7.15 pm at the Methodist Chapel Hall. The first two meetings are free and the third meeting we would like you join the club on a regular basis. For more information please email Terry at cameraclubthorne@gmail.com MONTY'S MONTHLY TIP - Everybody likes a good portrait so for a good sharp portrait try setting the camera mode to aperture priority, set the aperture to f11, focus on the eyes and shoot.
