Editors Letter...

This can feel like a glum time of year – after Christmas, before the spring – which might explain why the film industry does its best to cheer us all up with the awards season in February. Say what you will about the Baftas and Oscars, there is still something compelling about the display of success and failure, hope and disappointment, parading along the red carpet. Looking on the nominee lists, I have noticed ‘Les Miserables’ included in many of them. If any readers see the film, I would love you to email me a film review and lets have our own reviews!

February also brings Valentines Day, a day to celebrate with your loved ones sending gifts, sweets and flowers. What ever you choose to do make it special for your loved one!

Anyone who is interested in advertising in your local Arrow, the smallest advert starts at £20 a month. Please get in touch.

The deadline for March issue is Thursday 14th February.

Isle Dance for Health-Over the next three months a group of local musicians and dance instructors will be running a new programme of nine afternoon English Country dances in the Isle.

They will be helping the local NHS to encourage people over the age of 40 to increase their levels of activity through gentle, enjoyable and sociable dances.

The dances will be held from 2.30 to 4.30pm on Thursday and Friday afternoons from 17 January in Westwoodsie, Epworth, Crowle and Ealand. There is no charge for the dances, but donations towards refreshments are welcome.

So, are you over 40? Feel a little unfit? Want to try something different that’s not too strenuous?

Prepared to try some gentle activity and learn some dance routines?

We will explain and lead you through the dances at your own pace so you can exercise and have fun at the same time. No previous dance experience is needed. No partner required! No need to book!

Just turn up with comfortable, flattish shoes.

Axholme Academy News Letter Key Stage 3 Girls I was asked to complete a report about the KS3 Girls performance in their Humberside Table Tennis match on Friday 7th December. Between attending the event and writing this report the same girls have been involved in becoming North Lincolnshire Badminton and Basketball Champions too! Three Year 8 Girls have been imperative in all 3 victories, these are Sinead Bramhill, Georgia Green and Courtney Wills.

Alongside Lauren Hall and Bethany Connor they have managed to become County and Regional Champions in different sports within the space of a week.

On Friday 7th December 2012, Sinead, Georgia, Courtney and Bethany travelled to St Mary’s College in Hull to try and claim the Humberside title. They represented the county of North Lincolnshire and faced St Mary’s College. They won their match in an impressive 7 games to 1 victory to become Under 13 Girl’s Humberside County Champions in the Humber School Games and brought their trophy back to The Axholme Academy. They will go on to the Zonal Finals in Billingham on Saturday 19th January to represent Humberside in the next round.

On Wednesday 12th December our KS3 Girls travelled to Melior Community College to take part in the North Lincolnshire Schools Basketball Tournament. They won all of their matches and were declared champions. This means that they will go on to represent North Lincolnshire in the Humber School Games round later in 2013.

On Thursday 13th December, Sinead, Georgia, Courtney and Lauren travelled to Brumby to take part in the KS3 Girls Badminton finals. They had previously wont heir group matches in a phenomenal victory over 3 schools, winning every single game they played. In the finals they faced SJN A and B as well as South Axholme. They were victorious in all of their matches along meaning they were declared North Lincolnshire Champions. They will represent the County on Thursday 7 th February at Hull Badminton Centre at the Humber School Games.

As an Academy we are extremely proud of what the girls have achieved in such a short space of time and wish them the best of luck in their future matches. If you would like to keep up to date with our sports results and find out of the girls progress them please follow us on twitter @AxholmeAcademy.

What are you giving up?

I wonder how those New Year resolutions are going? I decided not to make any as I knew they would be forgotten very quickly. Now the decorations and the crib have been put away and it’s soon time to move on to the next major Christian Festival – Easter.

Before Easter, there are 40 days of ‘Lent’ that begin with Ash Wednesday on 13 th February. It’s easy to remember when Lent begins as it is always the day after Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday). Traditionally, many people ‘give up’ something for Lent – and that something is usually food or drink.

With a definite end in sight and the prospect of chocolate on Easter Day, giving up something for Lent is much easier than keeping a New Year resolution.

I love Cadbury’s ‘Wispa’. On 1st January, I could not resolve to never buy another one for a whole year. However I think to be ‘Wispaless’ for six weeks is possible and will please my Doctor! I will put the money saved in a jam jar during Lent and give it away to my favourite charity at Easter. It won’t be a lot of money – maybe £3 at most. If we all do something similar, lots of charities will benefit.

Lent is a time to prepare ourselves for the wonderful celebration of Easter – the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Giving up something we love for Jesus’ sake, even if it is only a Wispa bar, is a good start!

You would think that there would be very little on the culinary scene that could cause much of a stir on the Isle of Axholme, so you may be surprised to find that Epworth has been buzzing since Christmas with the news that Ben Edwards is coming to town!

Ben, known by many of you as the award winning chef lately at the Red Lion at Crowle and the Reindeeer Inn at Sandtoft; has formed a partnership with Trish Kingham at Kingham’s Bistro.

Trish is delighted and said “Ben is the only chef that I would have considered for the Bistro as he and I have the same values and ethics where freshly cooked and locally sourced food is concerned, but even more importantly Ben is a truly superb chef and I love his food” 2012 had been a difficult year for Trish and she was unsure what direction to take in her business.

“I knew I needed to have a strong front of house presence if I was to continue cooking. I had not occurred to me that I might do it myself until a friend suggested it. Once I thought about it I realised I would very much enjoy being front of house as long as I could find a really good chef and of course Ben was always my first choice. It was either luck or fate that Ben was available at the time. I knew Ben wanted his own restaurant in Epworth and so a partnership was the idea answer for both of us.”

This will mean a whole change of menu for the Bistro with Ben adding Caribbean favourites such as his famous jerk chicken. Ben would like to extend his repertoire of Caribbean food and is planning to have some Sunday nights as Caribbean nights as well as some Caribbean dishes on the menu.

The Dinner Club theme nights that have been so popular at the Bistro will also be resumed on Wednesday evenings.

So, a very exciting gastronomic future for Epworth & the Isle of Axholme!
