Welcome to the December issue of the Epworth and Belton Arrow!
Christmas is just round the corner!, Whilst most of us are looking forward to festive activities during December, we must give a thought to the victims of the floods last month. The rain and the flooding of villages surrounding Doncaster saw yet again the nightmare of a repeat of 2007. Whilst river levels are rising with the continuous rain be vigilant for flooding in your areas. On page 6 there are some details of how you can help the residents. On a brighter side, lots going on this December all locally in your area. There’s the Christmas light switch on in Epworth on Friday 29th November, followed by Carols around the tree in the Market place, Epworth on the 24th December at 6pm. Don't forget the amazing Brigley house Christmas lights in Crowle. Great show and all monies going to charity. Details are on page 21. You still have chance to support the Victorian Old Smithy in Owston Ferry. There is an exhibition of agricultural tools in a courtyard setting and Village Museum on the first floor. Santa is making his annual visit on weekends running up to Christmas. Enjoy the read, keep safe and please note the deadline for the January issue is earlier than usual, Friday 6th December for distribution by 2nd January. If you are interested in advertising or simply emailing me some community news, please be in touch before the date. Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas from the Arrow team!

House/shed/garage burglaries have featured over the last month as the dark nights have set in. Whilst we do not want to concern residents, we would like to remind everyone of some basic home security measures which can significantly reduce the likelihood of becoming a vic m of burglary. The most likely entry point for a burglar is via the rear so do not neglect security there. Fit an alarm or a dummy alarm box. Many people point out that when an alarm sounds nobody takes any no ce these days. The burglar will though. Install a security light which works on a movement sensor to light up areas which a burglar may use for cover. Use mer switches to turn lights on when you are not in. Ensure any gates at the rear are locked, not just with a bolt near the top which can be opened by reaching over. Thieves do not want to be seen and surveillance is o en provided by neighbours who live opposite or who overlook your property. Do not allow bushes and hedges to grow too high. Consider the security on your shed. Is it propor onate to the value of items you keep inside such as cycles and garden equipment? e.g. an expensive cycle stored in a wooden shed with only a £2.50 padlock for security. It is also worth no ng that a burglar will some mes use an item which is easily taken from a poorly secured shed to facilitate their entry into a house. Fit trellis along the top of fencing at the rear as this will break if a burglar tries to climb over your fence. Spiky / prickly bushes and climbers are also a deterrent. Report all suspicious circumstances. Door‐to‐door salesman appertaining to be selling energy or double‐glazing are o en checking out and planning future burglaries or even trying their luck there and then if they get no reply to knocking. In rural communi es, local residents know when someone or something looks out of place far more than in urban areas. Join your local Neighbourhood Watch Group or start one up yourself. The role of co‐ordinator does not have to be a burdensome role and your group can be as small or large as you wish. In effect the key role of a NHW co‐ordinator is to act as a conduit for police informa on which in today’s world is literally the touch of a bu on. The vital part is that police have that single point of contact in as many areas as possible. NHW is proven to reduce and prevent crime and it is an ini a ve well suited to rural communi es where tradi onal community spirit s ll exists. We would also ask for your assistance in keeping an eye on any proper es where you know the occupants are away or out for whatever length of me. Our intelligence suggests that the offenders are ‘doing their homework’ in iden fying proper es from which to steal. If you see any suspicious ac vity then please call 999 if you believe a crime is about to be commi ed or 101 if you noted suspicious ac vity which has now passed. If you are able to get descrip ons of persons or vehicle details without pu ng yourself in any danger, then Check out our dedicated neighbourhood policing pages for information using this link: www.humberside.police.uk/all-policing-teams

The Isle of Axholme has a new destination for people looking for a relaxed and welcoming midweek
evening out as Hirst Priory launches its new Wednesday Club in The Vaults, the subterranean 300 year old vaulted brick basement that has recently been refurbished. The Wednesday Club will be hosted each week between 7.30pm – 11.00pm. Guests will be served a seasonal selection of locally produced food and each week entertainment will be provided by a different local act for variety. The Vaults has an enticing range of gins and rums served over the bar with quality soft drinks, teas and coffees for people due at work the next day. Hirst Priory Managing Director Hazel Wheatley said, “We want to create a light, relaxed evening out for people to meet up with friends outside of the weekend hustle and enjoy a great evening out in a uniquely atmospheric setting. We are using seasonal local produce in our sharing platters for the best quality and to support our community. Spaces in The Vaults are limited so booking is essential”. To find out more about The Wednesday Club, take a look at www.hirstpriory.co

It's Glow Time! Brigley House Christmas Lights and Friends are back with a whole new Christmas show, even more lights (can you believe it!) , new songs and of course some festive favorites too. After raising over ÂŁ4,400 last year for the Scunthorpe Hospital Maternity Bereavement Suite Appeal , this years show will be raising vital funds to support another fantastic local cause - Lindsey Lodge Hospice. It costs over ÂŁ3.5 million a year to run the hospice and over 80% of this cost comes from fundraising activities and charitable donations. Rob Brown from Brigley House says "We cannot wait to reveal this years show and are thrilled to be supporting Lindsey Lodge Hospice who in turn support many people in our local community and their families. ". Brigley House Christmas Lights can be found on Saffron Way in Crowle - the lights show runs from 4pm to 9.30pm every evening from December 1st through to January 1st.
