Editors Letter...

Auckley and Hayfield Lane Primary schools have teamed up with both Auckley Parish Council and Doncaster Council to try to combat dog fouling in the area.

The children have designed posters that will be displayed around the village encouraging dog owners to ‗bag it and bin it‘. We have published the winning posters in this months Arrow along with some of the runner up‘s. Well done to everyone who took part.

We also have news of some of our young local fund raisers who have put their energy and hearts into raising funds for different charities. Well done to all of them, they are an inspiration to others!

Talking about charity, Kilham Hall Community Centre will help host a special fun day in June to raise funds for two charities, Parkinson's and Moto neuron disease. The day is organised by ‘Branton‘s Angels‘ Lyndsey, Rachel and Emma. If anyone wants to get involved, help out or run a stall, please get in touch, their details are in this months arrow.

The June issue deadline will be Wednesday 18th May, if anyone would like to submit an article or an advert, please send it to me by this date.

Betty’s Comes to Finningley!

If you had wandered into Finningley Village Hall on Wednesday 6th April you could have been forgiven for thinking you were in a Betty‘s Tea Shop.

The selection of home made cakes certainly rivalled their selection and what the smart waitresses in their lacy aprons lacked in silver service they made up for with their friendly welcome and willingness to chat.

This was A Taste of Easter and for £2 you were offered a pot of tea or coffee, a hot cross bun or scone and a choice from an amazing array of home made cakes and buns.

Thank you to everyone who helped, on the day serving, clearing or washing up and for all the baking. It was enjoyable, hard work which raised over £800 for Finningley Church Funds.

Someone said they hoped they wouldn‘t have to wait until next Easter, inspired by this success who knows, watch this space?

The last flying Vulcan bomber has returned to its former Cold War base. The iconic aircraft will spend the summer months based at Robin Hood Airport, the former RAF Finningley that was the home of the Vulcan in the 1960s.

The deal could be the first stage in the development of a visitor centre that will eventually be linked to a facility to inspire the next generation of engineers and technicians. Vulcan to the Sky Trust CEO Dr Robert Pleming said: ‗We are thrilled that the last flying Vulcan has come home. We all feel that something very special could be created here, but I must emphasise that these are early days in the discussions.‘

Could your business benefit from stronger control on its expenditure?

A good place to start is by employing an accountant.

She‘s pulled me through with her wisdom, help and funny sense of humour and most of all just by being her.

This is why I would like to put Jane forward to receive flowers from you as I think she deserves them, for her kindness above and beyond her job role. Thankyou Jane xx From Beth Carr The Arrow and Petalsflorist would love to send someone special a bouquet. Also, listen to Trax FM to hear ‗Someone Special‘ in the morning!

Pyjama Walk all in the name of charity!

On Friday 25th March, 5 young girls from Branton put on their pyjamas and crazy red wigs and walked and walked and walked for Comic Relief.

Chloe Forster (10), Brooklyn Cook (11), Rachel Burton (11) Abigail Murray (11) and Rachel Crowston (11) walked around Poppyfields Estate in Branton 10 times with a bucket and raised a grand total of £230.

Brooklyn came up with the idea to raise money for this splendid charity and all the girls helped to organise the event.

Well Done Girls!

Joseph Sidebottom wanted to raise money to try to stop people dying from cancer. He thought long and hard and realised he needed to make some sacrifice, therefore he had his much loved long hair cut short on Thursday 7th April!

The most expensive haircut £1246.70?

Joseph hopes to raise as much money as possible and will donate it to the Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield which is currently treating his Granddad.

Joseph‘s last count before going to print was £1246.70! Thank you to Joseph‘s hair stylist, Jayne Williams, owner of Flair Hairstylists in Branton who had her salon taken over by lots of excited children!!

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far to this excellent hospital charity. Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield which treats people suffering from Cancer is one of only three hospitals of it‘s kind in the UK. The Weston Park Cancer Charity has many projects it helps to fund. One such project is maintaining a database which stores details of every case of cancer recorded in the country. This information is essential to the research and development of treatments to help both present and future cancer patients. There are many smaller projects which directly impact on the comfort of patients being treated at the hospital.

For as long as I can remember I have always been interested in all kinds of bikes and have always had the thought of running my own cycling related business.

I ride regularly, mainly challenge rides like the C2C and other long distance routes, sportifs and the lung busting LakeLand loop …. These I do with family and friends as cycling really is the best way to keep fit and spend quality time with people who are special to you.

My wife Victoria and daughter Hattie, are also keen cyclists, and have done a few C2C‗s, our daughter did her first aged 12 over 4 days and was pretty pleased with herself!

We are Foster Carers and we always introduce the children we look after to cycling, seeing the happy smiling faces of these kids either on their first bike, on the child seat or in the trailer is something really special and I hope something positive they will have to look back on.

Well, after 20 fantastically enjoyable years working in Sales Management, running sales teams and selling great brands such as Heineken, Stella Artois, Boddingtons working for celebrities such as Ken Hom and Ainsley Harriot and more recently being part of the UK coffee shop revolution managing a business channel for Costa Coffee I decided to leave it all behind me and start up myself … following my heart before it‘s too late! So Bicycle Buddy was created!!

Bicycle Buddy is an independent company located in Doncaster. Our aim is to offer a professional service to anyone who requires Repairs and Maintenance, Tour Support and Coaching. We have a professionally equipped mobile workshop and accounts with the UK‘s leading suppliers of parts and accessories to the cycle trade. Bicycle Buddy is a member of ACT, The Association of Cycle Traders.

Covering South Yorkshire North Notts and North Lincs we aim to visit you at a time and place that's best for you. Getting your Bike repaired or serviced has never been easier!

News from Auckley Junior, Infant and Nursery School Castleton Trip Our year 5 children have recently carried out a residential trip to Castleton in Derbyshire as part of their topic work on ‘Contrasting Locations’. They looked at the differences and similarities between the village of Castleton and their own village of Auckley.

Whilst in Castleton the children were able to take part in many activities such as gem panning, making their own fossils and the famous egg drop challenge. The children also visited the Treak Cliff Cavern where mineral Blue John is still mined. They thoroughly enjoyed their visit and many found the scenery spectacular.

Buon giorno, from Auckley foundation team.

Children in the foundation unit are currently learning about Italy.

They have participated in many different activities, some of these include talking about Italian foods, making pizzas, spaghetti and ice cream and making junk models of famous building. We took inspiration from the artist Da Vinci and painted portraits of their friends. In maths we threaded patterns with coloured pasta, played Italian games, handled money in the ice -cream parlour and learnt to count in Italian. In literacy we have learnt some common Italian words and used them when playing in the role - play Italian restaurant. We have written food orders and taken on different roles in a busy kitchen. Outside we have constructed a mini Grand prix. Children have understood the importance of working as a team in the pit stop and are using ordinal numbers after a race.

Arrivederci

On the Wednesday of the last week of term, 14 sixth form students from the European Society at Hayfield School went to Auckley, Branton, Hayfield Lane and Bawtry primary schools to teach Years 5 or 6 a little bit about German Easter traditions.

Primary Schools at Easter!

We started off by telling the children how the Germans celebrate Easter – the food they eat, the traditions they have, the things they make.

Then came the tricky bit... learning the German vocabulary. To our surprise, they learned the German really quickly – and really well!

After this came the fun – the EGG DECORATING. Everyone got a hard-boiled dyed egg, and decorated it however they chose. After a recap of the vocabulary, the children went out and had a treasure hunt using their newly acquired vocabulary. They looked like they were having fun! At the end of the session, the children came back in to collect a sticker and a mini Creme Egg... and that was the end!

We hope they had as much fun as we did with them!

A huge THANK YOU to the Spar in Auckley for their donation of 108 eggs for the children to decorate.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists

Braking Dear readers, If you‘ve ever been in a nodding dog passenger in a car and got out feeling a bit queasy you‘ll know the effects of ill-timed braking. Achieving a smooth, progressive and effective braking technique will make every drive safer and more pleasurable for everyone involved.

Braking progressively and smoothly you must develop superb observation and anticipation skills, as this allows you to begin braking earlier should any unexpected hazards arise. Effective braking is a skill that requires practice. You should roll the pressure onto the brake pedal progressively; do most of the braking in the middle phase; roll off the brake; again then select the best gear to make good progress. This method always produces the smoothest drive.

Practice this technique by attempting to produce such a smooth drive that your passengers don‘t even realise you are braking; decelerating gradually so that the nose of the car never dips. Well-timed braking will usually make you faster from A to B. Take timing your arrival at a roundabout for example. Look well ahead and asses the traffic on the roundabout, then time your arrival so that you don‘t have to stop. The cars that sped past you as you were decelerating early, will be at a standstill trying to find first gear as you slide past and get straight back on the accelerator.

Keep every drive as simple as possible by not overlapping braking steering and gear inputs.

Brake in a straight line.

Even with modern anti-lock brake systems (ABS), it is always best to carry out any firm braking in a straight line before making any steering changes. Any racing driver will tell you that using your brakes in the middle of a bend can upset the balance of the car and affect its handling.

If a situation arises that requires mid-corner braking, do so progressively to avoid locking the wheels. Vary the brake pressure accordingly to the road surface and conditions.

If you are interested in the courses that we offer, you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel: 01302 886 276
