Welcome to the August issue of Crowle and Ealand Arrow

Summer’s out!!

We are now well in to the long summer break for schools and colleges across our region and it is anticipated that millions of us will be jetting off on our holidays, especially with all the limitations over the past 2 years.

News is circulating with regard to Doncaster airports closure, this was the key to Doncaster’s successful city status bid and has become a hugh blow just weeks after celebrating its status as part of the Queen’s platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Please support your local airport by signing the petition. https://www.change.org/p/save-doncastersheffield-airport?

Any local news or events please keep in touch for the next issue of the Arrow.

Isle Community News Following two fairly quiet years due to the pandemic Epworth Bowls Club has now seen an influx of new members.

There are teams regularly competing in four local leagues together with popular Sunday roll ups and regular social events.

The Club has now received some much appreciated sponsorship from local firm Dale Murten Wealth Management of Fountain Court, Epworth, and the teams look very smart in their new shirts which carry the company logo.

Anyone interested in trying out bowling as an activity is welcome at the Club's Battle Green home on a Sunday afternoon at 1pm. Bowls will be available to use but flat soled shoes will be needed on the green. Please contact Roger on 07779525105 or Liz on 07503066055.

With over 400 walks in our portfolio we seldom repeat any ! Come & try us out .

A Roaring Success Isle Choral Singers Summer Concert

Saturday the 9th was the day of the Choral Singers summer concert in St Nicholas Church in Haxey, and was also the first public appearance , with the choir, of Robert Steadman their new musical director and conductor.

Robert, who very recently got married, is a composer and conductor. He grew up in Hampshire and went on to study music at Oxford University.

He has composed music for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the percussionist Evelyn Glennie, and an opera with the author Richard Adams.

He currently conducts two choirs and an orchestra - the Isle Choral Singers being one of them as well as working with various theatre groups.

The Hall, Station Road, He moved to live in Lincolnshire in 2013.

Owston Ferry, DN9 1AW The concert was well attended, and the audience showed their enjoyment and appreciation of the 07766 688111 (evening) programme with rousing applause, smiles, foot 0800 0689969 (day) tapping, and with one or two, their own conductinfo@tvm.ltd ing of the music. The programme of music was widely varied with a medley from Les Miserables, songs from 2 different Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, one or two from the world of films and some traditional tunes to set the hips wiggling and the toes tapping, which Robert urged the audience to join in with if they so wished. A few did, but very quietly.

Maurice, the choirs' accompanist played beautifully, as always, and added to the total effect of the evening. Maurice, himself, is an accomplished musician and composer and does a splendid job for the choir.

Mr Nick Haines, a former musical director of the choir, made a guest appearance, playing on the church organ in the first half of the programme, and on the modern keyboard, with a little more upbeat selection, in the second half of the programme.

The choir is holding a "meet the choir" evening in the Imperial hall in Epworth on July 11th to allow anyone, who may feel that singing is fun, uplifting and good for the mental wellbeing, to go along and meet the choir members and discover for themselves that it's even better if singing with a group of friendly, helpful people and so continue to join in, after the choirs summer break, and prepare for the Christmas concert.

If interested in joining the choir you can always get in touch via their facebook page "Isle Choral Society" where you will find contact details, or simply watch out for notification that rehearsals have begun again, after the summer break, in the Imperial Hall in Epworth, and go along at 7pm.

Crowle Peatland Railway

We hosted a couple of schools from the Isle who came to the Railway after visiting the Landscape Partnership Exhibition at the North Lincolnshire Museum. They were treated to a ride on the railway and found out more about the history and heritage of the Moors.

We have also hosted a number of walking groups who have enjoyed a guided walk onto Crowle & Thorne Moors followed by a full lunch in moorside cafe. If you think we could organise an event for your family or a group you are a member of, please get in touch (angus@townley.com) Many thanks to all who attended our June open weekend which included a craft market in the 'Goat Shed'. We were blessed with good weather and it was great to see so many people enjoying themselves. We were able to operate with two separate locomotives - the Wickham Trolley and our Simplex 'Little Peat'.

Open Weekends Our programme of Open Weekends continues and the next event in August will be our Food & Beer Festival. In addition to stalls from local food producers, we will be selling beers from the Pig Barn Brewery in Haxey and the Axhole Brewery Company.

August 13 - 14 - Local Food & Beer Festival There will be train rides and the cafe will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on both Saturday & Sunday for the following dates.

Work continues on fully restoring the Lisbon Tram and we will shortly be constructing carriages using wagon bases that have been kindly donated by Stadfold Barn Railway in Staffordshire.

We are also working on completing the ballasting of the track and construction of platforms at both ends of the line. Some of this work will be carried out by Students from North Lindsey College in Scunthorpe.

Would you like to help us?

We need help in all areas and not just in maintaining and running the railway.

Would you be able to help; - in the cafe?

- writing a members' newsletter?

- gardening and keeping the grounds smart?

- help in the workshop?

- running the railway?

- or any other skills we might need?

Is there any other way you could help us?

All necessary training provided!

If you are interested in becoming a member and volunteering please feel free to drop into one of our work parties on Wednesday and Saturday mornings - we are a friendly bunch and always looking for new willing hands.

The cafe is becoming a regular date in many people's diaries. In addition to being open during Open Weekends we are open for; - Afternoon Tea on the First Wednesday of the Month (August 3rd) (pre-booking essential - Julie 07584 261066) - Sunday Brunch (10:00am-12:00Noon) on the Third Sunday each Month (August 21st).

We would like to be open at other times but need sufficient numbers of volunteers to make this happen.
