We are a varied group of ladies who enjoy flowers. We meet regularly on the second Monday of the month.Our varied programme enables us to experience workshops which are suitable for all abilities. We entertain demonstrators who are sometimes very highly regarded in the NAFAS organisation and some demonstrators who are still very skilled but more locally known. At these meetings our raffle prizes are an excellent bonus!

We often have a sales table at which favourite plants and seeds are sold with tips for care and nurture.

Our "piece de resistance" is our November Open Meeting and in 2017 we shall entertain a very well known national demonstrator followed by delicious seasonal refreshments.

The Rotary Club of Epworth and the Isle of Axholme will be hosting its annual Afternoon Tea Party with entertainment for elderly and/or disabled Isle residents on Sunday February 12th 2017 at the Thurlow Pavilion, Station Road, Epworth. The club has been running this popular and enjoyable event for several years now with the help of the local Baden Powell Scout group. Tickets are free of charge.

If you would like to come along, or if you have relatives or friends who might be interested in joining us for the afternoon, please contact: John Lambert on 01427 872466 or Sally Hughes on 07904 573405.

THANK YOU FROM WESLEY MEMORIAL CHURCH Many thanks to all who contributed to our collection over the Christmas period. We raised £209.37 which will be divided between the Red Cross and the Methodist Church’s fund for relief in Haiti after last year’s hurricane.

We had no idea how appropriate the latter fund would be when we chose it back in November, nor how poignant the scene of the homeless Mary, Joseph and Jesus wold become the night that Storm Barbara rolled through Epworth. We were sitting in the manse listening to the wind rattle the branches of the trees when we realised that rain had begun, not just to fall, but to hammer against the windows. The direction of the rain meant that it would also be coming straight in through the open door of the Holy Family’s refugee tent. Being made only of papier mache we thought they should be rescued from their predicament and we managed to get them inside the church. The tent, however, did not survive the night and I was still finding some of the pictures of homelessness we had put up around it in the gardens some days later. But, what more challenging a way could there have been to really make us think hard about the realities of homelessness for so many people across the world & in particular those sleeping rough in nearby Scunthorpe and Doncaster on that same night. It certainly gave an added focus to our prayers and to many of our decisions about how we can practically help try to make things better.

On the note of practical help I also want to say thank you to whoever it was who left a small basket of food and gifts for Mary and Joseph underneath the manger in the tent. It was an unexpected surprise. The food has gone to the foodbank at the Baptist Church and the candles were sold to a member of the congregation who put a donation into the collection bucket. Thank you again, whoever you are, for your practical response.

Blessings, Angy Long (Minister; Wesley Memorial Methodist Church.)

THE W.W.2 DIARY OF CLIFFORD SPENCER 1764164 Gunner. SPENCER Clifford 27 L.A.A. (Light Ack Ack) Regt, R.A. (Royal Artillery) (107 Bty. (Battery)) Adapted & edited for publication by Anthony E. Catherall st.

August 1 I wonder what August will bring? Will Italy pack up or fight on. I think we shall know our fate this month. Very hot these days. There is a dance on tonight. No parcels in.

Aug. 2nd. -3rd.The camp has got a play. Jolly good, it is called The Best Laid Plans. Every one praised it, it really was marvellous the way it was got up and played. A chap made it up. The stage was a sight to see.

Settee and chairs made out of plywood, (From Canadian Red Cross boxes). Lulu and Happy had big parts.

For an hour and a half, it made one forget that he was a POW. Aug. 4th.

Soap issues. The Ities have stopped the daily paper coming in; but!

Sunday I have had a letter from you today dear, not often we get them on Sundays. Another lovely day another dance on tonight. It’s funny how our memories have gone while being a POW. Mine always was bad, but it’s awful now. Most who I talk to are the same, such as remembering names of people and places, and other things that crop up. I guess you had a proud mother look when Julie was doing her stuff at the Anniversary, yes darling how I wish I could have been there let’s hope.

Please God I’ll see her next year. Goodnight my loving darling.

Aug. 11th.

12. Mid-day, very hot, wash shorts, socks, and towel this morning. Have started sleeping outside now, it’s so hot and stuffy inside. Got some planks on bricks in-between the huts; it’s OK, also not so many fleas. Keep missing cheese issue now.

Aug. 12th.

Our hut has concert, pay 4 lire each money to buy new instruments.

Aug. 13th.

A good day for us, first formations of our bombers pass over the camp, we have heard them before, but that’s the first we have seen, a jolly good sight for sore eyes. We all were staring up to the sky and causing a commotion. Extra guards were put on, and machine guns were manned round the camp. I don’t know what they thought we could do about it. A good news bulletin. Two letters from you darling. Play Tenner quoits at night. We are going to have a tournament; Len is to be my partner.

Aug.14th.

Thousands on bomber raid over Malon (Milan). Rome also bombed again. A jolly good concert tonight, it really is marvellous how they all get up. There has been a competition for the naming of the hut where we have the concert. It is now called THE CLIMAX Aug.15th.

Eight years ago today, Dad died; poor old mum will be feeling the loneliness just now, how awful it must be to lose your partner.

Aug. 16th.

20 men come back from the aluminium job, which went out some time ago, they refused to work, and have been in jail, they look very thin and pale.

Aug. 17th.

More workers go out, about 70 at 5am. I am glad I’m not working in this heat, it would get me down. News is still good.

Aug. 18th.

Len and I lose 2 points to nil in first quoits match. Les gets his first cig parcel. Two letters, one from Muriel and Myrtle. (Sister and Sister-in-law) Getting a good few books to read these days, but none have come for me yet.

Aug.19th.

Five more men come back, they had been labouring, (not enough food) Aug. 20th.

The paper says Sicily is finished. Big meeting in Quebec with all our big noises. Half the camp thinks Italy won’t be invaded. What a disappointment it will be for us if it isn’t, we had hopes of being home for Xmas.

Aug. 21st.

Lights go out most nights now between 11pm and 12pm because of raids.

Aug. 22nd.

One point each in 2nd match of Tenner Quoits Aug. 23rd.

Win 3rd match, 2 points top. Parcels are coming in all right. All the tins are stabbed, and a lot of it goes bad before it can be eaten. All cigs are taken out of the packets, those from next of kin too.

Must think they are going to find maps, or maybe a gun! One hut per day is searched, ours was the one today, and all they got was a knife and a file. Still sleeping outside, lovely nights. The days are too hot to be pleasant. One fig issues each. Every Sunday morning a party of RC’s goes to the next compound for a service.

Now & Then—Then & Now No 94 By Anthony Catherall

This month and every month see Isle villages in bygone days and compare to today’s image!

Above a festive scene (courtesy Pam Cooke of Haxey) in Epworth High Street on the 20 July 1899.

This is one of many banners erected in the town to celebrate the coming of the Axholme Joint Railway to the Isle. Others were seen along Station and West End Road. The town was alive with people as Joseph Bottomley with his camera to hand took many memorable photographs during the day. The first sod was cut at ‘Maws Flat’ by Miss Bletcher of Crowle, followed by a grand luncheon overseen by Mrs Copeman in the Red Lion Inn. It was there that it was decided to cast a commemorative medal seen here to be given to the local children as a reminder of the event. On one side within a floral border are the words, ‘Isle of Axholme Light Railway. MANUS JUSTA NARDUS’ on the reverse, ‘In commemoration of the cutting of the first sod of the railway at Epworth by Miss Bletcher, 20th July, 1899’. The first passenger train eventually ran from Epworth Station on Monday 2 January 1905, when an enormous crowd gathered to see the historic event. Subsequently three trains ran daily to Goole at 08:34-13:09-18:46 up until 15 July 1933.

Some further reading about the railway can be found in; ‘The Isle of Axholme’ Volume 2

by Colin Ella - ‘Historic Epworth’ also by Colin Ella - ‘The Axholme Joint Railway’, by Colin Judge and the ‘Epworth Bells’ of 9 September 1899.

Below. a similar scene of the colourful High Street properties - a joy to see bringing a seaside feel to an inland town - some shop names in this particularly part of Epworth however frequently seem to change. We have lost estate agents Drewery & Wheelden and the small extension when the charity shop was created there since this photo was taken, but what year was this photograph? My clue, it was less than 110 years after the picture above. Answer next month.

Community News A wonderful local win-win situation. A total of 20 businesses have been kind enough to provide Axholme Bridleways Association members with handy discount vouchers for the coming year. The group has in

excess of 100 Members who actively support the work of this community group and they will now further support local businesses with valued custom. It is only £5 a year to become a member and locals are encouraged to support the group which helps to preserve routes for future generations. Walkers, dog walkers, cyclists, runners and horse riders form the membership.

This active community group was founded in 2012 in response to the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 which states that rights of way already in existence on 1 January 1949, but not shown on the definitive map and statement of our local council by 1 January 2026 will be lost forever. The Group's aim is to keep local offroad routes open, safe and clear for current users and for future generations and be actively involved in groups such as the Local Access Forum, Lincolnshire's Lost Ways and projects such as The Axholme Greenway.

Axholme Bridleways Association meet every two months at The Red Lion, Epworth. See www.axholmebridleways.co.uk for more information.

New Year Resolutions! Have yours already been broken? How about a new start! The Isle of Axholme Supporter Group of Lindsey Lodge Hospice are wanting more volunteers to help raise funds for this most valuable resource for those with life limiting illnesses. Any time and talents are appreciated.

The group has been in existence since 2005 and in that time has raised over £110.000! But as you are all aware the government only provides a very small income of what is needed to keep this facility open, the rest has to be raised by generous donations and fund raising, are you able to help?

For more information please contact Louise Wright 01724 710664 thankyou.

This year’s Epworth Music Day falls on Saturday 24 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. There will be evening concerts in St Andrew’s Church and the Queen’s Head.

Last June we attracted nearly 50 different groups of performers across a wide range of musical genres and we hope to be able to provide a platform for a similar array of musical talent in 2017. We already have had expressions of interest from 25 groups who want to play.

If you would like to perform at Epworth Music Day 2017 we would like to hear from you as soon as possible. We would also welcome anyone who would like to help to steward the event on the day.

So, put the date in your diary and spread the word!

0740 1525 808 jmjitservices@gmail.com This lovely boy is Zeus, a 2 year old Whippet Cross. Zeus is such a friendly, affectionate, loving boy who adores people, and is so well behaved at the rescue – and good on the lead. He is great with other dogs, so could happily share his home. Sadly he doesn’t get on with cats. Zeus is neutered, fully vaccinated and micro-chipped.

Unfortunately because of his colour, Zeus is often overlooked in favour of other dogs, and he really deserves a lovely home. If you would like to come and meet this smashing boy, please give Isle Rescue a call on 01427 728705.
