Christian Aid Week in the Belton Group of Parishes Christian Aid Week 2014 saw a variety of events.

Belton All Saints’ Church held the Service to start off the week. During this we heard and saw videos of the work already being done by Christian Aid and their partner organisations in South Sudan in Africa and Colombia in South America. The service was followed by a lunch to support the work of Christian Aid. Althorpe Church had a House –to- house collection but as I write I don’t know the amount collected.

Belton All Saints Church also held an all-day event of coffee, lunch, bring and buy and cream teas. All week there was the opportunity to donate by a bucket collection outside the Post Office/Londis Store. This was held by kind permission of Nim and Gurd Mattu, to whom we say a big THANK YOU. The money in the buckets was £319.16 (last year it was £222.14). These events and other donations raised £1,090.08 (last year it was £870 69). So in spite of the economic problems the people of Belton were very generous. THANK YOU ALL. A big thank you goes to ALL who helped in any way to realise this amount.

Margaret Senior (Christian Aid Rep. for Belton Church).

Crowle Show has received a welcome boost for its forthcoming annual event in the form of a substantial grant from the ‘SSE Keadby Wind Farm Community Fund’.

Show secretary John Shaw says: “The Show Committee are extremely grateful for SSE’s generosity.

“This grant will allow us to purchase additional storage facilities and extra equipment for use in the show which will reduce our hiring costs and help sustain the show for future years.”

This year’s event marking 117 years of Crowle Shows will be held on Sunday 20th July at the Show Field, Godnow Road, Crowle and promises to be a great day out for all.

One of the Main Ring attractions will be ‘Flyin Ryan’ labelled as Britain’s No. 1 Motorcycle Stunt Team.

“You may have seen stunt riders before but if you haven’t seen the Flying Ryan display prepare to be amazed. Their spectacular stunts are sure to thrill the crowds,” says John Shaw.

More details are available on their website: www.flyinryan.co.uk The action-packed programme also includes a Polo demonstration whilst several bouts of ‘All-In Wrestling’ promise to add to the excitement.

John Shaw reveals: “In addition we have a Tug-ofWar competition plus Brick Lifting contest so if you feel energetic why not enter?

“There’s the popular comprehensive Horse Showing and Horse Jumping events, Cattle and Sheep showing, Classic and Vintage vehicles and a large Dog Show with more than 150 varieties of dogs on display.

“A Funfair and Donkey Rides for the kids all add up to making it a great day out for all the family with something for everyone.”

Main Ring events start at 9.30am with Flyin Ryan’s first show at 12noon.

A free mini bus service will take visitors to and from the Show ground.

The bus will pick up outside Nicholson’s Garage on Eastoft Road, the Marketplace, top of Godnow Road and the New Trent pub at Ealand.

“So make it a date in your diary to support your local Crowle Show, Sunday 20th July,” adds Mr Shaw.

This month and every month we feature a unique recipe from The Epworth Cookbook 1982.

NO 7. RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE Page 29

BASE 4 oz digestive biscuits (crushed) 1 level tablespoon golden syrup 0ne and half oz of butter

Topping 8 to 12 oz raspberries or one medium can 1 raspberry jelly Half pint whipped cream or 1 sachet dream topping made up with quarter pint cold Milk plus 8 oz cream cheese

METHOD Melt the syrup & butter together in a saucepan. Remove from heat & stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a deep 8" loose-bottomed cake tin. Dissolve jelly in 1/4 pint of water (or juice from can) & cool. Reserve 3 tablespoons of cream for decoration. Work the cheese until soft, beat in the cool jelly or fold in the cream.

Now & Then - Then & Now No 63 By Anthony Catherall

This month and every month see Epworth in bygone days and compare to today's images!

The sun in the west produces shadows on this 1914 postcard of Queen Street Epworth.

Looking north down the street, we see a man in a white coat, probably the local butcher.

Alongside a small child and a handcart.

Written on the back of the postcard - "This PC is a picture of our street. The house is not marked, but it is just past the trees, a lovely home, (now number 14). I have put a mark X. I hope you will soon be alright again. Ever your loving Gladys".

Sent to Miss Joan McIntyre, 11 South Bank, Lillington, Nr. Leamington in 1914.

Substantial changes can be seen in the lower picture taken on 1 June 2014. Two detached houses are further down on the left, on the site where the Rio Cinema stood. In place of the wall middle left we have two houses (No's 1-3) The house right (No. 10) has been rebuilt or altered dramatically and the wall has also disappeared. No 13, painted white in lower picture is also seen on the postcard close to the gentleman in the road.

A Ladies evening was held at Hatties in Epworth in aid of two charities, Breast Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer support.

The event was organised by a group of friends from Harold Woolgar Insurance, after several acquaintances were diagnosed with cancer. The group asked for nearly new handbags and scarves to be donated and these were sold on the night and a raffle was also held. Bucks Fizz and canapés were served to the guests.

The response for the request for hand bags and scarves was tremendous and we would like to thank everyone who donated something. A further sale will be held at the Macmillan coffee morning in September.

We would like to thank all those who gave raffle prizes and Kerry and Richard at Hatties for hosting the event. The date of the event fell on the first anniversary of the death of Richard’s sister, Julia Gleadhill, from breast cancer, so it was an emotional evening.

A total of £810 was raised, to be divided between the 2 charities.

THE TRENTSIDE FEDERATION - WEST BUTTERWICK C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWS Following on from our last School News, which referred to the cycling proficiency and growing our own vegetables, I am pleased to report that the children are continuing to be enthusiastic about their learning in connection with ‘fitness and healthy living’.

Recently, the school received some exciting new athletics equipment. We have been using this to learn about and develop different throwing techniques as well as working on ‘beating our own personal best’ linked to ‘distance thrown’. The children have particularly enjoyed using the javelins and working on their ‘shot put’ technique. We have also been engaging in a number of skipping workshops (Skip2theBeat), learning that skipping is one of the best exercises we can do as it gives us the chance to practise and refine the ‘fundamentals’ of many sports – balance, timing and footwork.

Healthy Living relates to consideration of a healthy diet too. The infants have had the chance, linked to their history studies, to find our about foods that were popular in the past. They even had the chance to sample them ; spam, faggots, corned beef, haslet, tongue, liver and black pudding. This led to an interesting discussion with regard to ‘We Are What We Eat’!

Mrs Josephine Buckle Headteacher, Trentside Federation of St Martin’s and West Butterwick Church of England Primary Schools.

WINNING WAS CHILD’S PLAY! Boston Park Farm and Tearooms receives a top prize in the Netmums National Outdoor Play awards A MUCH-LOVED local attraction has scooped the runners-up prize in the prestigious Netmums Outdoor Play Awards.

Boston Park Farm and Tearooms, based in Hatfield Woodhouse, clinched one of the top spots after being voted for by members of Britain’s biggest parenting site Netmums.com Boston Park is a working farm that set up a Maize Maze in 2000, and then is 2012 they opened and tearooms and now the farm and play areas are open all year round with the Maize Maze open during the summer. The tearooms serve healthy meals, yummy homemade cakes and delicious coffee. There are indoor and outdoor play areas for the children to enjoy and it is especially suited to toddlers with a small indoor soft play area and sandpit. Plus there are all the friendly animals to feed and pet every day. It really is a fantastic place to take your little ones for a couple of hour’s outdoor fun!

David Chappell, who lives on and runs the farm in partnership with his wife Mandy and his daughters Lucy Chappell and Ruth Jones, said: “We are delighted to receive this award – it’s wonderful to be recognized for what we do. There’s nothing like letting kids run free outdoors and get up close to farm animals and now we hope to welcome even more families after being recognized by Netmums as one of Yorkshires best outdoor attractions The latest figures show the outdoor attractions sector is worth a whopping £480m to the UK economy and the awards were set up to recognize the growing number of outdoor attractions catering for families across the country.

Recent studies have found modern kids spend only ten per cent of their time playing outdoors, four times less than their parents’ generation – but parenting experts are calling for youngsters to spend much more time outside.

Over 1.7 million mums, dads and childcarers who are registered Netmums members were eligible to cast their votes in the awards, to find the UK’s best-loved outdoor attractions.

Boston Park Farm and Tearooms will receive a string of prizes including a special certificate to display at the venue, an exclusive badge for their website listing, free advertising on Netmums and promotion on the site’s Awards pages.

In July members of the Epworth and District Flower Club will host an open evening at which Andrew Grisewood, a NAFAS National Demonstrator, will entertain with a demonstration entitled “Panache”.

It will be held on July 22nd from 6.15pm for a 7pm prompt start. Proceeds will be for the NSPCC and tickets are £10 which will include refreshments.

The June meeting began with a welcome from Carolyn Drury, the club’s Programme Secretary, to Sue Maddocks from the Halifax area who demonstrated on the theme of Summertime.

Sue intrigued the ladies from the beginning by creating two large screens from behind which she produced her interesting “containers” and they also hid from view her assistant, also named Sue. The first arrangement was suitable for a welcome , perhaps to a summer wedding. Sue used an open urn into which she inserted hosta, ferns and euonymous to provide a base before inserting ten Calla lilies of a colour called “Ventura”. These created a striking effect of height in the centre of the arrangement and then Sue continued by adding beautiful cream roses. She gave the group tips about conditioning lilies and use of roses as she talked and finally she added Singapore orchids around the base of a stunning arrangement.

The second arrangement was to suggest a barbeque. The container had tall twigs on three sides and again Sue gave tips on the mechanics of such an arrangement. She amused us as she placed wooden barbeque tools, fennel, large hosta leaves, fatsia and four fantastic heliconia into the base. More Calla lilies, this time a pinky shade and two dark red anthurium were carefully placed before Sue produced carefully toning panscrubs on sticks to bring the arrangement back down to earth! A second, similar arrangement then appeared from behind the screen and was received with much approval.

A Japanese evening was the title of the next piece. Sue used a metal screen into which was inserted quite a large gnarled contorted hazel branch. An exotic effect was achieved with dresina leaves which Sue split, rolled and fastened, before inserting “Madame Pompadour” orchids, “Ocean song” vintage roses and more stunning anthurium which this time were of a different shape and a very dark purple shade. The group could have been transported to Japan!

Sue’s fourth arrangement was to signify Le Tour de France and Sue amused the Group telling them how she had become the owner of a bicycle wheel! She used this as the basis for another beautiful display. This time she used, euonymous and tropical leaves for her foliage before adding very pretty green carnations and “Good times” yellow vintage roses.

Sue’s final arrangement of the evening was created using a recycled hanging basket. She had woven a variety of twigs through the frame and proceeded to use palm, ferns and other foliage before inserting the flowers. This time Sue used two deep purple hydrangea, large chrysanthemums, more vintage roses and finally pistachio anthurium. Another altogether splendid and imaginative arrangement.

Anne Everett gave the vote of thanks to Sue and her assistant and commented that Sue Maddocks had inspired a visitor for the evening to consider joining the club. What more could a demonstrator do?

Dear Readers, How we train our new drivers was under scrutiny last month – because the Government is still rightly concerned about the number of young driver deaths on our roads.

What can a parent do when the time comes for their teenager to take to the road and learn to drive? The short answer is “pay for it” – as there is no substitute for proper professional tuition.

But the hands-on parent who wants to help their youngster with practice at the wheel can help make the process less daunting, and perhaps reduce the need for quite so many lessons, before the dreaded L-test.

Drivers who practice with supervision in addition to their lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) are more rounded at the end of the process and increase the chances of first time test success.

But driving lessons are not getting any cheaper (if only because of the rising cost of petrol the instructor needs).

If you want to help your youngster learn to drive, you need to go back to driving school yourself. Be prepared to sit in the back when your youngster has their first driving lessons – but say nothing. Just take it all in.

That way you can see and hear for yourself what the professional instructor is advising, and make sure that you reinforce those messages when you are helping on practice drives with your youngster.

You have to also realise that your driving style may be an effective one for you as an experienced driver, but not necessarily a direct fit with the syllabus that the ADI will be working to preparing your youngster for the test. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) also publishes the curriculum on their website – another very useful resource for parents.

Please remember too that not every family car is suitable for practicing in, of course: a larger vehicle that has an automatic transmission is of limited use if you know that your youngster will eventually do their test in a manual Micra, for example.
