Epworth Music Day 2020 This year’s Epworth Music Day falls on Saturday 20 June and we are starting to put the plan together to make it as much as success as it was last year. Once again we will be putting together a daytime programme across 10 outdoor stages – with indoor alternatives if it is wet – and 3 indoor venues. So, put the date in your diary and spread the word! If you can help or want to join in please email peter.barnard@me.com or call Peter Barnard on 01427 873937.
The team behind “Rescue Day”, the annual 999 day at Crowle, North Lincs, are already working hard to plan and prepare for this summer’s event. Rescue Day 2020 will be held on Saturday 11th July at 7 Lakes Country Park near Scunthorpe. The Red Devils Parachute Display team will again be making a splash when they land into the main lake and subject to operational requirements the air ambulance helicopter will be arriving at 7 Lakes for visitors to see up close and talk to the pilot and crew. Rescue Day raises money for charities and good causes and has funded many lifesaving public defibrillators which have been placed in local communities over recent years. Rescue Day gates will be open from 9.30am to 5.00pm and advanced tickets will be available online at www.rescueday999.com from May onwards. Visit the website or follow Rescue Day on social media Twitter: @Rescue_Day or www.facebook.com/rescudedayuk for more information.

Haxey Amateur Dramatic Society is in the last couple of weeks of rehearsals for their next production “Fairway to Heaven” by Diana Raffle. Lady Fotheringham is trying to throw a party for her rather elderly friends in her country house. Cheryl (her daughter) and Trevor Slater-Rees (Cheryl’s husband) both have important business to conduct at the same time. Trevor's marriage is in a mess and so is his job. If he doesn't sell one big property before the end of the month, he'll face the sack. However, thanks to his friend, Bob, things are looking up. They have managed to get invited to a party that could just provide Trevor with a buyer. Unfortunately, before leaving, an accident occurs. Desperate to cover their tracks Trevor and Bob lurch from dilemma to disaster and dead bodies start piling up. With an intellectually challenged gardener's daughter, several ‘interesting’ costume changes and Bob’s Mediterranean wife Jeremy Cooper Hayley Brook John Spittlehouse Maria's fiery temperament added into Maureen Leggott. the mix, the chaos continues. This fast-paced farcical comedy promises silly twists and turns… with innuendo a-plenty. The show runs from Thursday 2nd April to Saturday 4th at 7.30 in Haxey Memorial Hall. Tickets at £5.00 are available from Greenhill Store, Haxey.

Do you recognise this quilt? Do you recognise this quilt being held by Gillian Crawley, manager of Epworth Old Rectory? The quilt was recently re-discovered in a storage cupboard in the Rectory which was being cleared out. The housekeeper, Sandra Tutty said she could not remember seeing it out on a bed or anywhere else in all the time she had worked at the Rectory, a total of 37 years. Gillian, who is a museum specialist believes the quilt to be very old. It has suffered some damage, probably from exposure to bright light and usage but is still a very attractive item. There appears to be no record of where the quilt came from, or from whom, nor who may have made it. On examination, it is meticulously hand stitched and quilted with some quite different fabric designs. A museum textiles specialist may be able to give more information regarding its age, the fabrics used as well as the patterns, and what work would probably be needed to make it safe to display at some time in the future. What that specialist would not be able to tell us is where it came from and how it came to be at the Rectory. If you recognise the quilt from any period in it's life and have any information as to its provenance, please do get in touch with Gillian at the Rectory. We would be grateful for any information readers may have. Telephone 01427 872268, e-mail manager @epwortholdrectory.org.uk or via the website or facebook page.
