HAXEY AMATEUR DRAMATIC SOCIETY PRESENTS

“HOLIDAY AT HOME” A COMEDY BY COLIN BARROW

HAXEY MEMORIAL HALL THUR 22, FRI 23 & SAT 24 MARCH at 7.30pm TICKETS ARE £5 FROM GREEN HILL STORES, HAXEY BLOCK BOOKINGS & ENQUIRIES

PLEASE CALL 01427 754294 Lady Daphne Boucher resides with her faithful butler, Scribbins, & somewhat unsuitable maid, Lizzie Crawford, at Thrivington Hall. A spate of jewellery thefts in the area prompts Lady Boucher to come up with a scheme to protect her own valuables. Not all goes to plan, however, as Lizzie & the amorous Reverend Phillpots discover. As the plot thickens, Inspector Warwick is set some puzzling problems to solve. The play concludes with several surprise twists.

The cast includes two newcomers to the Haxey stage, Hayley Brooks as the strongwilled Lizzie & Dave Cavell as the loyal butler, as well as some established players, including Jeremy Cooper as the Reverend Phillpots.

Be sure you book early to see this sparkling comedy whodunnit.

Community News Isle Group of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Thursday March 1st Charlie Barnes is the Wildlife Recorder for the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, but he is also the County specialist on beetles and a very entertaining speaker. There is a huge variety of beetles in the country and they often have very interesting lives but yet most of us know very little about them. Do come along and join us to find out more about these interesting creatures.

All our indoor meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month in the Stephen Jones Hall at the rear of the Methodist Chapel in Haxey at 7.30pm. We look forward to welcoming all regular members and new visitors. There is a small charge of £1 and there is a raffle and refreshments.

Don’t forget that bird food is always on sale at our indoor meetings and at Chris Trinder's house in Belton, at very competitive prices, just ring if you need anything. For further information about the local Trust group and their meetings please contact Tony Lee on 01427 753831 or Chris Trinder on 01427 872051.

The Fitter family from Westbourne Drive have won the coveted Best Decorated House – The Brigley House Trophy.

As a committee, we have had lots of lovely comments this year about how lovely the lights were – described by many as ‘best ever’ – which is heartening. However, we are a small committee of 6 people and if new people do not come forward there is a real danger that Crowle Lights could fold this year.

Our Chair Jack Bower is stepping down due to work pressures.

I am stepping down as Secretary due to a combination of reasons that leaves me little time.

We also have several members who are not in the best of health.

I would therefore like to appeal to our local community to step forward – or risk losing our great tradition. We need people who can help out at the odd event during the year, can give up some time in November for set up and January for take down – also people with committee/organisational skills (or who are office trained and can learn it easily).

Axholme Academy Photo Competition The decision to revive the Axholme Academy Photo competition was mostly because of the high standards achieved in previous times and to give the staff, students and community a chance to show what they were capable of.

The theme was set as ‘Winter.’ All entrants were put on the Academy Facebook site and voting took place in early January. The standard was, again, incredibly high. The winners were: Students 1st [and overall winner] Eve Jones Joint 2nd Ella Turner and Grace Rowing Community 1st Shelley Goulding 2nd Sara-May Bucceri 3rd Lisa Pearce Staff 1st Emma Winder Another competition will be run in the Summer, with the theme to be decided on nearer the time.
