DONCASTER CANCER DETECTION TRUST Here we are, well into Spring and we hope by the time you read this that warm sunshine is the norm after what seems like months of rain!

We are delighted to say we have donated half the cost of a Nasendoscopy system (£35,000) to Doncaster Royal Infirmary, with DRI paying the remainder. This system will support their Speech and Language therapists in undertaking examination of the nose, throat and voice box and is a test that is used to identify cancers and support patients who have had cancer.

We have been very fortunate in receiving money from two recent wills. We are in talks with DRI as to other equipment they need and we will bring you news of this hopefully next month.

In the meantime we are very grateful to all our fundraisers who do a tremendous job in raising money on our behalf. Some of you do energetic sports for sponsorship, others take a more leisurely approach. Whatever you do on our behalf we are really grateful. If you could send us a photograph with a short write-up we will do our best to include it on our website.

Our details are: 22 Wood Street, Doncaster DN1 3LW (entrance by the side of Kerry Gough Florists), first floor (lift available), Room 104. Tel. 01302 325029. Email: info@dcdt.co.uk. Website: dcdt.co.uk. As the office is not fully manned it is best to Email or telephone in advance if you are thinking of coming to see us.

Our charity believes local money should help local people. All money raised goes towards equipment for our local hospitals. None of our staff are paid, we are all volunteers.

Friends of Quarry Park Our Litter Pick for the KBT Great British Spring Clean took place on Saturday 16th March. Keeping the park litter-free is great for the environment plus it's one of the criteria to keep our Green Flag flying so it is very important to us to participate in this event each year. Our army of 12 set off around the park, and an hour and a half later, we had collected 14 bags of rubbish including a trolley, a radiator valve, and a small box of tools!

Thank you to all our amazing volunteers who joined us for our Work Party on Friday 5th April. Thankfully the rain had stopped and 15 of us and a junior volunteer, along with our Ranger Sam gathered in the sunshine eager to complete our tasks. As always there was plenty to do so after our welcome and briefing, we split into groups and got started. Our superefficient litter pickers cleared 4 bags of litter from around the Broadway area, as well as other areas of the park which resulted in a total of six bags collected. Two teams installed a replacement bench at Church View which had been damaged recently and re-installed the Home Straight sign that had collapsed due to rotten posts.

The remaining crew set about mulching the new tree saplings that were planted in December and March, with digestate. This was kindly donated

by Vulcan Renewables, who also funded some of our trees through their Community Funding Scheme. It was quite a smelly job, but someone had to do it! We look forward to seeing our trees flourish in the coming months after a good feed.

We finished our session with refreshments and cakes before heading home. A great morning’s work by all involved.

Work parties are usually held on the first Friday of each month, weather permitting. There is always plenty of work to be done, including litter picking, clearing paths and cutting back vegetation.

Equipment is provided but please ensure you wear suitable clothing and footwear. The next events are scheduled for Friday 3rd May and Friday 7th June 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 or call us on 07546 595144.

Hatfield Town Cricket Club We are not too far away from the start of the new exciting season ahead and we are hoping the rains stops for a few days at least so we can finish our ground preparations!

A big thank you to Carl Morrell of CM Developments for his work on our new changing and toilet facilities and all those businesses and club members who have donated funds, equipment or time to help us make this affordable.

Junior Indoor training has been well attended, it is great to see the commitment of the children and we would always welcome more children in every age group when we move outside in April. We look forward to seeing everyone back at our Friday Family Nights in early April, please keep an eye out on our social media for confirmed dates and times. We hope you will all be pleased with the improvements made around the ground.

This season our ladies team will also be training Friday evenings 7-8:00pm and competing in the Hardball League and having Softball friendlies. They are looking for ladies to come and join the squad.

There is no experience necessary as we will have a qualified coach and experienced player at each session. You can use it purely as fitness or push onto taking part in the games, taking it at your own pace.

Our senior men’s games start at home on the 20th April and it will be great to see new faces as well as our regulars down at Carr Side Lane supporting them, see you all soon!'
