Welcome to the March issue of Crowle and Ealand Arrow.

The first day of Spring and the days are getting lighter! I don’t know about you but it makes me feel so much better, the sight of bright spring flowers and hopefully warmer weather ahead after a cold and frosty February.

Mothers Day falls on Sunday 27th March! If you haven't visited the local High Streets in Crowle and Epworth make sure you do. They have some wonderful and different gifts and wouldn't it be great to support a local business!

As we come to hopefully the end of the pandemic we should see more groups/events opening up again in the Isle. If you know of any please let them know so we can promote them!

Its good to see live music going ahead in March, you can take your pick from Doncaster Wheatsheaf or the Isle Choral singers. Have a browse through the magazine to spot their adverts.

Next month I am hoping to receive some school articles again. The schools have suffered in the past few months with a shortage of staff due to Covid. Fingers crossed they will be back!

Bridge can be as difficult or as easy as you choose and sometimes psychic powers can help!

The game Is all about partnership and needs some concentration , but you don’t need to be an expert ..... even if you’ve never played before we can help you learn the basics & get you playing almost straight away. If you’re on your own then we will find you a partner.

Come & join us , have some fun (and learn Bridge too!) For details please email : isleplaybridge@gmail.com

The Epworth and District Flower Club has continued to remain active as far as has been possible during the last 22 months.

Members received flowers, a calendar and items for "do it yourself" workshops during the very difficult months.

As the government's rules changed there were outdoor meetings and eventually in November, we held a delayed Diamond Birthday celebration at The Reindeer Inn, when 30 members were wonderfully entertained by Mark Entwhistle, a very capable national demonstrator from Cheshire. In December this was followed by a Christmas workshop meeting which was another enjoyable evening, adapted to the conditions ruling at the time and held in St Andrew's Church. The Club's year concluded with a very enjoyable meal in January at The Epworth Tap. The AGM is held in February and as membership numbers have risen considerably it has been necessary to find a new venue. St Andrew's Church has welcomed us and it is anticipated that the future meetings will be held there for this year. The Club will continue to meet on the second Monday of each month and we have a varied programme. On Monday 14th March four members will produce a fixed price quantity of supermarket flowers and there will be four members who will each make an arrangement from these. The title is a Supermarket Challenge. An Easter workshop is planned for 11th April and a plant sale will be held.

If you wish to join you should find us welcoming and there is usually a chance of winning a lovely flower arrangement. Do join us on the second Monday of each month at St Andrew's Church, Epworth. We aim to begin at 7.30pm.

Crowle Peatland Railway

Although we have not held any open days since the successful Christmas Event in December our volunteers have been busy with various forms of work at the site.

The line continues to be extended and should have reached the full extent for which we have planning permission before the start of summer. Restoration of our Simplex Locomotive now known as 'Little Peat' continues and we expect it to be fully running later this spring. The Schoma locomotives have had their winter service and work progresses on restoring our Lisbon Tram 711.

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.

We expect to hold an open event for Easter Weekend and resume regular monthly open days on the second weekend of the month in April.

The cafe is open for Sunday Brunch on the third Sunday of the month (March 20th) from 10:00 am to 12:00Noon. Afternoon Teas will recommence from April. For full information of our events please follow us on Facebook or look at our web site.

At the Christmas event, we launched our Children's book 'Little Peat - the story of a lost and found engine'. Sales have been going well and can be bought from the Peatland Railway or from our website - http://peatland.co.uk/

Revolutionizing Lawn Care

GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service has over 35 years’ experience in caring for the nation’s lawns. With warmer, longer days on the horizon, we anticipate a burst of beautiful flowers alongside our lovely green lawns. To ensure your lawn takes pride of place as the centerpiece of your garden, it’s important to keep it nourished with our NutraGreen fertilisers and other beneficial treatments.

At this time of year, your lawn may be struggling to rid itself of persistent moss. Moss thrives in damp and shaded areas; it’s commonly caused by thatch and soil compaction in addition to mowing your lawn too short. With this in mind, it’s important to remember that now is a good time of year for your lawn to benefit from Aeration and Scarification. This machine work is the most effective way to remove the main causes of moss, thatch, and compaction, leaving you with a much healthier lawn.

Of course, your lawn must also benefit from regular mowing and watering to reach its full potential.

Get to know, how to mow!

When expecting dry weather, increase the height of your cut from 30mm to 45mm. This helps to keep the grass cool and stops it from drying out too quickly.

The more often you mow your lawn, the better it will look. At least once per week is a good general rule.

Do not let your lawn grow too long before mowing it, and never scalp it!

Check your mowers blade is sharp and remove any debris.

How to water during dry weather Watering in the evening is best for your lawn.

Water for only 20 minutes at a time to avoid ‘pooling’ on your lawn.

For more efficient watering, use a sprinkler and a timer.

Watering costs far less than reseeding or replacing a lawn which has died of thirst. Our Oasis Water Conserver can also help to reduce the need to water by up to 80%!

Let’s create the lawn we both love.

Contact your local GreenThumb branch today on 01427 238 442 or email doncastereast@greenthumb.co.uk to start your journey to a beautiful lawn.

Epworth Bowls Club Battle Green Epworth Spring is nearly upon us and Epworth Bowls Club is preparing for the new bowling season.

We are a small, friendly and active club, founded in the 1930's and our season starts from 1st May to 30th August. Annual membership is £30 and social membership is £20.

Our activities vary from league matches, internal competitions, visiting other clubs for friendly days out, have our own Gala Day and enjoy some very good Fun Days with our members. We also meet up socially every month during the winter.

Bowling is not just for the elderly and we would like to welcome and encourage new members to join us, male and female, all age groups (children from age 12 years).

Our roll-ups, which are run twice a week, have been well supported and we hope to do the same again this year in compliance with any COVID 19 rules and regulations which have been set out by Bowls England.

This is a good opportunity to learn a new sport, make new friends, to exercise according to your own ability and all at a very reasonable cost. Social membership is also available if you prefer. Why not come and have a go, you will be made very welcome with bowls and instructions initially provided.

Contact Liz or Sue who will be pleased to give you any further information you require.
