Welcome

to the October issue of the

Branton & AuckLey Arrow

Welcome to the October issue of the Arrow.

After the sadness of the last few weeks and the incredible moving state funeral, we are now able to reflect and remember our amazing Queen Elizabeth II and what she represented. Her service to us all was humbling and inspirational. A constant example to us all, she will be missed by so many. The Arrow wishes King Charles III the courage and strength to follow in his dear mother’s footsteps.

The November issue deadline is Wednesday 19th October. The Arrow will be delivered before 1st November.

Best wishes

Doncaster Rambler’s A local walk from Cadeby

Light showers were forecast for today’s 5.3 mile circular walk from Cadeby, plus there was a good chance we’d be walking through dense wet vegetation at some point so it was advisable to wear waterproofs.

Before setting off, ten in all, the group were reminded of our traditional Christmas Dinner details of which were on our website. Starting at the crossroads of Garden Lane and Main Street we had a short stretch of precarious road walking down Hollow Gate for about third mile before hitting the safety of a wide if uneven footpath. After another third mile we reached the reassuringly familiar metalized Trans-Pennine-Trail, trouble is there are two parallel footpaths to choose as you turn left so on this occasion, we chose the wide upper route. Continuing for just over half a mile, during which the keen eyed among us could just about make out Conisbrough Castle in the distance. By now those with waterproofs were feeling distinctly overdressed, and cooking, although we still had the risk of vegetation ahead. A couple of yards after passing under a disused railway, we turned right up a well concealed path which opened out onto a metalised track where another right, led to steps down through a concrete tunnel opening out to a jungle of neck high reeds. Luckely the Public Right of Way had been cleared and we were able to follow the sweep of the River Don right round to the magnificent Conisbrough Viaduct. Back on the TPT we continued leisurely onwards stopping only once for a coffee break at the quarry jetty where once sand and gravel were loaded onto barges. Continuing on for about half a mile, at a wooden gate we veered off left climbing steps towards woods and Sprotborough Flash remembering to turn right just after entering the wood. After about half a mile we exit onto Nursery Lane by the Boat Inn. Once again, we had to endure road walking for quarter mile before ducking left into woods and open meadows location of some rare wild orchids. After a bit of a zigzag route we were on the final one mile stretch, back to the start. Great walk, great company great times. Peter Rowsell A special thanks to all for caring after my welfare and especially Dougy.

Testimonial

Can't praise Matt's work enough. He fitted a kitchen for us about 12 months ago and we were so impressed we invited him back to panel our staircase and landing. We were not disappointed. His attention to detail is second to none. Matt is a true perfectionist and we would highly recommend his excellent skills to anyone.

Margaret, Tickhill.

In memory of our beloved Queen Elizabeth 11 When Princess Elizabeth, Alexandra, Mary came into this world on 21st April 1926 at Burton Street within the Mayfair district of London, little did her doting parents know what an extraordinary baby they held in their arms. She would become the longest reigning British monarch in history, and a Queen who was loved and adored by millions across the world. Princess Elizabeth was joined by her sister Princess Margaret four years later and their father, then Prince Albert of York, lovingly referred to his family as ‘us four’, fondly nicknaming Elizabeth ‘Lilibet’.

The course of this little Princess’s life and that of history changed when her father became king, upon the abdication of his older brother, King Edward V111. He reluctantly took over as King George V1, being crowned in 1937. At age 10 years, Princess Elizabeth’s destiny became clearer but perhaps no one could predict just how remarkable her reign would be, nor foresee the dramatic events she would both enjoy and endure throughout it.

Although she met a young man named Philip in 1934, at the wedding of Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark to Prince George, Duke of Kent, it wasn’t until 1939 that a friendship began with the 18-year-old cadet, after they met again at the Britannia Royal naval college when she was aged 13 years. From then on there would be no one else for this smitten Princess. Their love would be like no other, standing the test of time with almost unbearable challenges at times yet proving it is possible for love to not just survive, but thrive, when a ‘strength and stay’ stands by the side of his Queen.

As a mother of four children, grandmother of eight and great grandmother of 12, Queen Elizabeth certainly had her hands full. One of my favourite stories is of Lady Louise Windsor, eldest child of Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. Apparently, it wasn’t until the young Lady Louise went to primary school that she found out her dear Granny and the Queen were one and the same! Imagine having a relationship with Her Majesty where the Crown plays no part and having fun, playing games and creating cherished memories are the only things that matter.

As the Queen of this country and head of the Commonwealth the extent of her influence and impact has been vast. Through her role with the Commonwealth, which she inherited with just a body of eight states, she has worked tirelessly to remain politically neutral whilst supporting its aims of promoting democracy and human rights. Her unstinting and unwavering sense of duty has seen her meet and greet thirteen US presidents beginning with Dwight D Eisenhower in October 1957. Barack Obama said the Queen had ‘captivated the world with a reign defined by grace, elegance and a timeless work ethic’. While on the throne the Queen saw sixteen British prime ministers come and go from Winston Churchill with whom she had a ‘special relationship’, to Liz Truss who she had met just the once. Perhaps the most unlikely of warm relationships developed with Labour leader Harold Wilson. From very different social backgrounds they grew to respect each other’s perspectives, so much so that they had meetings of up to two hours! He joined in with family picnics at Balmoral and Her Majesty attended his farewell dinner at 10 Downing Street in 1976.

Perhaps what caused me to become such an admirer of our beloved Queen is her devotion to serving her Country and Commonwealth. Her unrelenting resilience, despite the most difficult of circumstances year upon year is astounding. The way she has tried to protect her family especially in times of deep distress, shows both her courage and compassion. And her unswerving dedication to the church and her Lord has been an example to us all of living a faith filled life. Over the years there have been many times this unexpected Bond girl’s wit and humour has brought laughter to others. One of the most amusing stories I heard is told by her former protection officer, Richard Griffin, whilst out walking with Her Majesty on the Balmoral estate. Two American hikers on a walking holiday engaged in a conversation with them. Not realising who they were addressing, they asked if they had ever met the Queen. Her Majesty responded she had not but that Richard had met her many times! Passing their camera to the Queen, they asked her for a photo with the protection officer! Graciously Richard then offered to take one of them with the undercover sovereign. After the Americans were on their way, Her Majesty joked that she would love to be a fly on the wall when someone looked at the photos and recognised her!

Over the years I have had many adventures involving my love of our Queen. Here are two of them. In 2014 we toured Buckingham Palace. My carboard cut out queen was unceremoniously placed in a black bin bag and taken with me on the train to London. On arrival at the palace, I said to the security officer, ‘you may not have been asked this question before, but can I take my pop-up queen in with me?’ He replied, ‘you’re right, I’ve never been asked that before!’ I couldn’t take her in the palace but we were allowed photos in the grounds. When I produced her from the black carrier in the café, the other customers gave her a round of applause.

Our Right Royal Rally in 2016, to commemorate Her Majesty’s 90th birthday and my own late mother’s birthday on the same date, saw my daughter and I drive round all the royal palaces in my mini with union jack roof, dressed in appropriate royal outfits, in a day, raising funds for cancer research. We started at Balmoral Castle at 6am in the morning, travelled to Holyrood House in Edinburgh, then on to Sandringham, Windsor and finally arrived on The Mall at gone 10pm.We had arranged to meet my husband who was working in London. We jumped out of the car, he leapt in and drove up and down whilst we took our photos at the palace gates. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I could see our red mini, followed by a blue flashing light. The police pulled him up just past the Queen Victoria statue. We ran round from the gates in our red tutus, mini top hats and union jack tights to where my husband had been stopped to save him from getting arrested. However, we need not have feared, for by the time we arrived, the officer and my husband were joking together about our Right Royal Rally. Realising the officer was a jovial sort, I asked if we could have a photo of him and my Queen to which he replied ‘I think you’ll find she’s in bed madam!’ ‘No’, I laughed, ‘my cardboard queen’ and quickly produced a life size cut out from the boot of the car!

We have a wonderful photo and memento of the officer, ‘the queen’ and myself.

As a nation we are mourning the loss of our beloved Queen Elizabeth 11. It feels as if a guiding light has gone out. Her reassuringly constant presence, no longer with us. Yet the legacy she leaves is one which we can all embody as we live our lives as Her Majesty did, with a heart of service, a resilient spirit and a witty sense of humour. Her Majesty the Queen has been my heroine and inspiration. I am sure like me you are eternally grateful for all she has done and the person she was. It has been an honour and delight to have called her My Queen. It only remains for me to join with Paddington in saying “Thank you ma’am, for everything’.

Written by Her Majesty’s faithful servant,

Alison L. Tinsley (Arrow reader)

The first half term is nearly over and we have crammed so many things into such a small space of time. All our After School clubs are proving to be very popular again, and we have introduced some amazing new clubs for our pupils to widen their horizons.

Baking Club is once again a great success, with the children taking home their creations each week. Coleslaw, cheesy bean slice and chocolate muffins are just a few things they have made so far. Our brand new Gardening Club has proven to be very popular, especially now we have created our very own Misson garden. We are definitely producing some green fingered experts.

Netball and football have returned for those children who enjoy the more sporty activities as we try and better last year’s Bassettlaw’s football final, while Mr Keast continues with his military style clubs each Wednesday morning and after school. Resilience, team work and communication are always a main focus as the children grow in confidence.

Chairman’s Report

2022 The amazing atmosphere generated by so many visitors made Auckley Show a very successful, friendly and entertaining event again this year.

Inside the Marquee the auction is always fun to watch.

Saturday evening’s adult only night did not disappoint, everyone let their hair down and had a fantastic time.

Numerous attractions for all ages are brought together to allow the Show to be enjoyed by everyone from Auckley and the surrounding area.

As you can imagine there are so many people to thank for helping to make Auckley Show such a success.

Here goes…..

Our Sponsors – advertising their business, providing prizes, keeping the Showground tidy or simply donating.

The Air Cadets for their amazing car parking skills.

‘Behind the Scene Helpers’ – programme distributors, toilet maintenance workers, electricians, stall holders, tombola helpers, raffle ticket sellers, exhibit tent judges and assistants, AND all who help to assemble and dismantle the Show’s infrastructure.

Last, but not least, the Show Committee who meet regularly to organise the various aspects of the Show.

AND anyone else I may have inadvertently forgotten…..THANK YOU.

Pre show - the annual judging of the Auckley allotments. The fun of making scarecrows.

All ages mingled to dance and socialise at the very well -attended Family Disco on the Friday evening.

Nearly 900 exhibits were registered during Saturday morning, after judging they formed an impressive display of talent from near and far. Traders outside and in the Craft marquee reported a successful, pleasant day.

Visitors happily sat to listen to a great variety of music played in both the Main Marquee and on the outside stage. The warm weather helped, of course.

In the pleasant weather the ever-popular Mediaeval Society drew large crowds to support their favourite in the combats.

Our “Open Air” marquee was again a great draw, the place to watch Mr Magic, eat something from the various food outlets, enjoy a drink or simply chat to friends. The Dog Show is always an exciting attraction, with many entrants and amusing classes it did not disappoint this year.

Our Raffle and Tombola broke all records with more prizes than ever. All raffle winners contacted and claimed. Tombola sold out in superfast time.

Participants and spectators alike really appreciated the Children’s Sports and the Tug O’ War which traditionally completed the afternoon’s outside entertainment.

My thanks to all who came and enjoyed the `show with us. Thanks to Carol Hall of Doncaster Camera Club who recorded the whole event with a collection of photographs. Why not visit our website to view them in our photo album. www.auckleyshow.co.uk We are always on the lookout for new ideas and ways to improve. Why not come and join the Committee or volunteer to be part of the Show Weekend “Crew” of helpers?
