Community News Epworth and the Isle of Axholme Rotary will be hosting its annual Afternoon Tea Party with entertainment for elderly and/
or disabled Isle residents on Sunday February 9th 2020 at the Thurlow Pavilion, Station Road, Epworth, from 1.30pm. 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.
Epworth and the Isle of Axholme Rotary is a small and friendly group of men and women dedicated to serving both the local and wider community through fund raising and community activities. We meet on the first and third Thursday of every month at Jinksy’s Bar in the Red Lion in Epworth at 6.15pm. Visitors are very welcome.
Since the 1950’s Doncaster Movie Makers have been meeting, making films, exchanging advice and helping each other to improve their skills. We have adapted to the changing film formats and equipment but we still are essentially the same as the original members – keen and enthusiastic. Our season restarted in September and we have had a very interesting and varied programme so far. As well as Open Evenings when we have discussed film making development. We have had two film competitions. One film inspired by the word AFT and was won by a very amusing film using as many words as the filmmaker could think off, all to music in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan. We also held a HOLIDAY/DAY OUT competition, which was won by a very well made and interesting film about the Gaping Ghyll, a 322 ft pothole in the North Yorkshire, down which the filmmaker very bravely descended. We have also had a lot of fun producing a Film in a Night with a ghostly theme and evenings of films made on the theme of Yellow and films made using mobile phones and tablets. In the New Year we will have more competitions as well as joint meeting with the Doncaster Naturalists. The season will end in April with our Film of the Year competition. We meet nearly every Wednesday at Flintwood Methodist Church, Lansdowne Road, Intake, Doncaster DN2 6QN from 7.30 PM. If you are interested in filmmaking whether it is acting, filming, editing or you just like watching films, new members are always made very welcome.

Epworth and District Flower Club Christmas Workshop 2019 On arrival 25 ladies were greeted with most of the materials necessary to produce a wonderful Christmas creation, but there was a little business to be completed first. The meeting was formally opened with a welcome from Anne Everatt who thanked everyone for their support of the November Open Evening. That meeting had been financially successful enabling the Club to donate to Diabetes UK but it had also been much enjoyed by all who supported it. The programme secretary, Carolyn Drury, was delighted to report that Nick Grounds the demonstrator had thoroughly enjoyed the evening too and had actually written to thank the Club for the help received and the efficient organisation of the evening. The introduction to the workshop began. Sarah produced a very long-stemmed amaryllis in quite tight bud. She showed her audience how to chop the stem to a suitable length, then she slotted it onto a stick which she had positioned in some oasis in a plastic-lined decorative container. Sarah worked to cover the mechanics with looped aspidistra leaves, tight, small conifer branches, prickly holly twigs and some skimmia. She opened a gold lacey wired flower which produced some gasps of amazement and placed it to make a focal point below the amaryllis. Next were carefully place six red carnations, frosted berries, glittery red baubles which Sarah attached onto sticks, more gold leaves and Sarah concluded her arrangement with Christmassy ribbon artistically looped over and around. Job Done!! Then it was up to members to produce something similar! Sarah was on hand to assist and produce suitable tools and give gentle tips and hints. There was the usual buzz of conversation as 24 more similar, but individual, arrangements were created. Sarah manages to enable both skilled and unskilled flower arrangers to achieve a satisfying result in her workshops which encourages everyone. She also provides everything necessary which means the evening runs very smoothly. The messy bits were then cleared away and 25 lovely Christmas table arrangements provided a backdrop for the seasonal refreshments which were enjoyed by all. The social aspect of the evening continued later than usual and members eventually went out into a frosty night bearing an arrangement fit to start the season. The January meeting is a meal at The Epworth Tap and the next meeting is the A.G.M. which will be held at 7.30 in the Stephen Jones Community Hall in Haxey on Monday, 10th February 2020. Do come and join us.

Fishlake Flooding News After the devastation of the floods on Friday 8 November 2019 which saw around 80% of properties in the village affected it has obviously been a very difficult time for all concerned. We have seen a visit from The Prime Minister, HRH The Prince of Wales and also received coverage from lots of local and national media. We are proud as a community of how we have pulled together and supported each other and we will continue to do so. We are hugely grateful for the support shown to us by neighbouring villages and we are overwhelmed by the number of message of support received from across the country. There is still a long way to go before we are anything like back to normal. We need to persist with information as to how and why this happened and to work to prevent this happening again. St Cuthbert's Church, The Old Butcher's CafĂŠ and the Hare and Hounds have all done a tremendous job supporting the community and the essential/emergency workers who visited the village. Thoughts are very much with those residents who are still unable to return to their homes. Truffle Lodge reopened for business on Monday 6 January 2020.
