A talk explaining how the wrought iron gates at the entrance to Epworth‘s Thurlow Pavilion had to be repaired – after being struck by vehicles - was given to members of the town‘s Men‘s Society on Monday (May 9) night.

Some 30 members attended the meeting, held at the church hall adjacent to St Andrew‘s Church, where Ivan Walters - himself a member of the Society – explained the problems associated with welding wrought iron.

He initially explained his background, stating he had started work as an apprentice welder in 1946 earning 19 shillings (95p) a week and following 25 years working for a company had then gone on to make cast iron gates in his own right.

Mr Walters, who has his own workshop, said he was called upon to repair the Thurlow gates after one of the pillars was damaged when a lorry reversed into it and the other was struck by a fire engine.

The next meeting of the Epworth Men‘s Society is on Friday, May 20, and is to be a trip to a brewery.

Anyone wanting further information on the Society is asked to call Ken Bickerstaff on (01427) 872288.

Come along to a Summer Fun afternoon at All Saints‘ Church Belton-Saturday June 18th at 2pm. Enjoy Mini Olympics, Cream Teas, Live Music, Treasure Hunt, Cake Stall, Decorate a Cupcake, Craft Stalls, Raffle, Tombola, Plant Stall.

Epworth and District Flower Club were treated to a fanfare of spring flowers at the April meeting when Mrs Pauline Foster, a NAFAS National Demonstrator and Judge visited the club and arranged flowers from her ‗Weaving Dreams‘ theme. The meeting was well attended and lucky members took the arrangements home as raffle prizes. Next months meeting is on the Monday 6th June at the Stephen Jones Community Hall and the club is delighted to be welcoming June Borrowdale and her theme is 'Buds, Blooms and Twigs' Visitors are welcome, the meeting starts at 7.30pm and costs £5.00.

Whisby is a large area of woods, open water and grassy areas with many good, flat paths for easy walking. Because of the variety of habitats there are many different things to see, from birds to orchids. There is a large visitor‘s centre with a café and toilets but the car park is a pay and display (£1). We will be meeting at 10am in the car park for a morning walk around the area. Anyone who wishes to car share, have a lift or need more information on how to get there, please contact Geoff (see below) or any committee member.

Looking ahead, we will be having a walk round Scotton Common on Thursday evening, July 14th, meeting at the reserve at 7pm. Scotton Common is between Scunthorpe and Gainsborough.

AXHOLME CENTRAL POLICE REPORT Fieldside/Battle Green/Studcross/Thurlow/Memorial Hall Car Park, Epworth = Youths causing Annoyance and Anti-Social Behaviour.

The problem with youths causing annoyance continues around this area, with 12 calls to police made in February alone. Analysis from Police Community Support Officer reports to police shows that the main days of complaints are on a Mon7577 Stewart Pearson day, Wednesday and Thursday between 4pm and 2pm. The main crime and Police Constable 1839 Tina Starbuck being committed in this area is criminal damage, particularly to vehicles.

We are therefore re-iterating the message that it is in your best interest to park, if at all possible, in your garages or on your driveways, and perhaps review your car security arrangements as an extra precaution. The majority of criminal damage is being committed on a Tuesday and Saturday between 10.00 pm and 01.00 am. We appeal to residents to call in should they witness such behaviour, drawing their attention to the fact that we need detailed descriptions of offenders, particularly clothing (colours/motif‘s) as this gives us a better chance of ‗getting the right person‘ when we stop large groups of youths around the village. We are working closely with our partners to resolve the issues and are patrolling the area at times we receive calls for service the most. The team are also paying passing attention throughout their shift at sporadic times. You are our eyes and ears so please help us and report anything you think requires our attention. Our non-emergency number is 0845 6060 222. If you think a crime is in progress please call 999. It is always best to report it at the time, doing so retrospectively makes it difficult to catch the culprits making life for those nearby a misery We have received several calls for service regarding groups of youths gathering in the Memorial Hall car park. Patrols have been regularly visiting the car park and have noticed the groups only gather when the hall is not being used. We are working with our partners and the Thurlow Playing Fields Association to try to resolve these issues. We encourage local residents observing such anti-social behaviour in these areas to contact us on 0845 6060 222 with as much detail and descriptions of offenders as possible.

Carrside Changing Rooms = Criminal Damage.

A substantial amount of damage has been caused to the changing rooms on CARRSIDE in Epworth. Vandals have entered the property and have smashed walls inside and have pulled the boiler from the wall.

This has caused flooding. The changing rooms are run by dedicated local residents who give up their own time and money to maintain the facilities for the benefit of those using the pitches and the wider community. This damage caused by offenders has spoilt it for everybody else. We would like dog walkers, runners, cyclists, walkers, horse riders, users of the changing rooms and anyone else passing them to report anything vaguely suspicious. Although we are paying particular attention we value any information relating to either anti-social behaviour or damage at the premises.

Our non-emergency number is 0845 6060 222 or Crimestoppers is 0800 555 111.

Recent Issues Shoplifter Caught = A male has been arrested and charged following a call from a local shop reporting the theft of alcohol. He was witnessed by staff removing and concealing items before making off without payment. He was caught nearby by the police.

Good News Story = Male arrested for Burglary.

A local male has been arrested for theft of copper piping and an outstanding warrant. We wait to hear of his fate. Metal theft is still plaguing the Isle, especially as the price of metal continues to rise. Those on commercial premises and farms are especially targeted as thieves often drive into yards and take what they like. We request those with large amounts of metal, scrap or otherwise, do their best to store it away or lock it up, along with securing gates preventing the entry of vans and trucks used by the thieves.

Any suspicious vehicles laden with scrap and acting suspiciously should be reported to us on 0845 6060 222.

The Isle of Axholme

Where You Live

Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

WINDMILLS OF THE EPWORTH AREA The empty shells of some of the derelict windmills bear witness of a time of numerous milling activities in the area. Most of the mills were tower mills made of brick. They seem to have been built around the beginning of the 19th century. On the rise between Epworth and Belton there are records of at least four mills, two of which can still be seen.

About fifty yards west of the former railway cutting was the site of an old wooden post mill. It was destroyed by fire in the early 19 th century. To the east of the cutting is the now beautifully renovated (by Barry Leggott) former Maw‟s Mill. It was built in 1783 and paid for jointly by Richard Maw, Thomas Arday and Thomas Gervas. The total cost was three hundred and seventy six pounds twelve shillings and ten pence including 47,000 bricks. At the side of Belton Road was the former Brooks Mill, now a private residence. It was built between 1799 and 1801. The sails were removed after the Second World War. A diesel engine replaced them. It finally closed in 1953. On the right hand side of the road was a Smock mill. It was built by subscription by a group of people; hence it is called a Subscription Mill. Usually these Subscription Mills were built by a group of local farmers subscribing. This one was erected, so the story goes, by a group of people from the Hull area. In the Hull area the manner of their particular parish had charged them for the wind they used to power their mills, so they left and came to Epworth and each subscribed to build the mill. It was to be a non-profit making mill.

Built in 1805 a plaque bears the words: “Both rich and poor a friend will find who send us their corn here to grind”.

The mill closed down early in the 20th century.

Other mills in the Epworth area include Thompson‟s mill behind Rectory Street, a mill site near the cemetery, a mill in Burnham, and Burnham Mill on the road (A161) between Haxey and Burnham. This latter mill was built in 1809 and is currently undergoing restoration. All four sails were removed between 1924 –7.

Now & Then – Then & Now No. 26 by Anthony Catherall This month and every month; see Epworth in bygone days and compare to today‟s images!

Above the former home of Tom & Emma Lindley in the 1920‟s. Tom a local gardener, was locally known as „Black Tom‟ his wife Emma, sister of Betsy Trimingham, used to help with the laying out of the deceased.

On your first glance at the photograph above, you might wonder where it actually stood.

For some time I had a job to find the current house below that stands in the same spot.

If we look below although partially hidden by trees and shrubs we discover that the house today has been completely transformed. A new roof and the chimneys removed, has made the house almost unrecognisable from its former days.

Also much altered, is the large garden where Tom was known for his early summer crop of fresh strawberries. The actual position of the current house below is hard to establish from the angle of he top photograph.

The green railings below give us a clue, as now it stands alongside the former Sunday school and almost opposite Forge Drive in Epworth.

I photographed the lower picture on 10 September 2007.

Epworth Primary News Letter New Playground Equipment I am delighted that the new playground equipment has now been installed in the Infant playground. The children are enjoying playing on a large Pirate Ship, a seating area, a sand box and a stage. The new areas provide lots of opportunities for creative play and more space for the children. Playtimes are more fun for our younger children.

Cross Country Competition A group of 40 Junior children recently took part in a Cross Country Competition with other Isle schools at South Axholme. The team did very well and came second, just two places behind Haxey.

We had some very good performances from all the children. The Year 3 Boys team took first, second, third and fourth place while Harry Hunter and Matthew Allison both won their races. Well done everyone!

Art Gallery An Art Gallery has opened this term in school for just one day to showcase some of the fantastic art work the children in the Reception and Infant classes have been doing this half term. The Art work was part of the Take One Picture project of the National Gallery in London. In this project a picture from the gallery is the starting point for lots of work in different curriculum areas. We were looking this term at ‗The Family of Darius before Alexander.‘ Parents were invited to come and look at the art work with their children. The parents were very impressed with the standard of work and the children enjoyed showing off their good work.

With best wishes

Following the untimely death of Joan Biddle, the Belton Playing Field Association and the Beltonaires have regrouped and have made plans for a future without their driving force.

The Beltonaires have decided to produce the Concert in the Park for the 14th and final time. The Concert will be billed as the ―Last Night of the Proms‖ – a tribute to Joan Biddle, which will be held on Sunday 17th July. This year‘s Concert will be similar to previous years, but this time the brass band will be Hatfield Powerfuel Colliery Band and the Dore Choir from Sheffield will bring a 75 strong choir. There will also be a number of local artists who are yet to be finalised. We hope for a bumper crowd to remember Joan.

The Playing Field Association have now completed a magnificent new conservatory overlooking the bowling green. The concept and funding was done by Joan before she died. The conservatory will be named the Joan Biddle Suite.

The most exciting news for the Association is that the Isle of Axholme Army Cadets has made the old Jubilee Pavilion their new home. The M.O.D has inspected the premises and has agreed to spend many thousands of pounds to make it a showpiece facility. The cadets are always recruiting new members and anyone interested should get in touch with the group.

There is a fortnightly toenail clinic run by Fresh Start of North Lincs Council.

Belton Park Pavilion has facilities second to none in the Isle and has attracted many organisations since its opening in 2006. The Isle Beavers, Cubs and Scouts meet there every week as do a number of dance classes for all ages and step aerobics. There is also a good chance that zumba classes will be starting very soon. We also have the Autumn club meeting every Thursday afternoon and weekly Bingo.

The bowls club continues to thrive and recruit and are looking forward to using the new conservatory.

Other sports are always welcome especially football and cricket; Anyone interested in forming a club should contact Alan Lenton on 872780.

There are still slots available for classes on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7.30 along with some mornings and afternoons.

There could not be a better venue for parties and a wedding there recently would have graced a top hotel. For more information, telephone Mary on 01427 874386.

Another Red Letter Day! There are lots of ―Red Letter‖ days in the next few weeks. There are those ever so important days when students have to take an exam. Then there are the days those exam results are published later in the year.

For sports fans, the ―Red Letter Days‖ of cricket test matches and Wimbledon are something to look forward to.

In many villages, there are the ―Red Letter Days‖ of Flower Festivals, Garden Parties and Concerts – events which are open to the whole village community.

In the Church, the ―Red Letter Day‖ we are looking forward to is Pentecost on Sunday 12 th June. Red is the liturgical colour for Pentecost and it is a festival equally as important as both Christmas and Easter.

Pentecost is the day when the Holy Spirit came on those first disciples of Jesus after His Resurrection and Ascension into heaven. It was the Holy Spirit who helped those disciples realise just who Jesus was, and empowered them to teach the things Jesus taught and to do the things Jesus did.

It is the Holy Spirit who makes the Christian faith so exciting! Call in at a Church or Chapel near you to find out more.

EATING OUT AND STAYING LEAN? CAN IT BE DONE??

I thought I would talk to you today about be able to stay ‗clean‘ when you are socialising. It can be done!!

I guess at the moment you thing something along these lines right?

DIET = NO LIFE RIGHT? WRONG!!!!

You tell your friends who are having a nice meal out that you can‘t possibly eat out because you are trying to lose weight. You might not even do that. I have heard all manner of reasons for avoiding situations like this from ― I am on antibiotics‖ to ―the dog is ill‖ ...Yep, it is true! BUT IS DOESN‘T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT!!

While it can be tough socialising while you are trying to drop some excess body fat there are some things you can do which mean you can get lean and still have a life! I LOVE eating out but we all have times when our weekends are crammed with plans when you could be eating out all day and may have to eat out for several meals over the weekend which can completely ruin any healthy eating plan unless you are prepared!

Follow the following tips and make sure you pack nuts, fruit and other healthy foods to snack on so you don‘t get tempted by toxic foods!!

So assuming you REALLY want results before the summer hits us and you suddenly have to put your summer clothes on, here are my top tips on being prepared and staying on track when eating out .

1 Choose your restaurant carefully. I would recommend going Italian. Italian restaurants ALWAYS have a healthy option without even knowing it (more about that in a bit!)

2 Check out the menu in advance. This is easy; most restaurants have websites now. If not, ask to look at the menu a few days in advance or even better, call them and ask if they can post you one.

3 Remind yourself of your goal before you leave the house. Want to look incredible on the beach? Want to be a jean size smaller? Sorry, but a blow out on the dessert menu/huge pizz just isn‘t going to cut it. Use this for ammo:

―EVERY SINGLE DECISION I MAKE, EVERY TINY DECISION TAKES ME EITHER ONE STEP CLOSER OR ONE STEP FURTHER AWAY FROM MY GOAL‖ Therefore, everything you choose to eat and drink will either make you fatter or leaner. Brutal but true my friend. Sure, a few chips with your steak won‘t kill you, but it‘s hardly taking you closer to your beach body is it?

4 Drink a big glass of water before you go out. This will not only hydrate you but will also make you feel fuller so you don‘t go too wild on......

5 Bread!!! Avoid bread at all costs!!!! Bread makes you fat – simple as that. No explanation required. Eat bread and stay the same. Yes that includes brown and wholemeal unless you are an athlete!

6 You booze you lose! Another easy one. Alcohol is a useless nutrient. A liquid sugar that you body has no use for other than to store as fat (oh, and give you beer goggles!). Choose water or sparking water if you prefer some fizz!

7 To start or not to start that is the question? If available choose a salad without a high calorie dressing; oil and balsamic vinegar are great, lemon juice is even better. Most restaurants do a tomato based salad of Greek salad. You could also go for something like asparagus tips. If you can‘t find a suitable starter you could always stock up on: 8 Side orders. A side order isn‘t always for the greedy amongst us. Use it sneakily. Order extra veg, asparagus, red onion salad, garlic sautéed spinach or something similar (oh...but not all of them together ok??)

9 Choose a meat and veg meal. You know to stay away from pizza and pasta right? Both are guaranteed to make you gain body fat especially in the love handle area – muffin top. That is down to your carbohydrate intake FULL STOP. Instead, check out the steak(the lean the better of course). Check out the chicken options or cod/salmon./tuna steak options. Choose the veg and salad over the chips!

10 Skip desserts. Dessert is not a necessity, it is a bad habit (on that is MY biggest downfall). Break it! If you must chose something to ‗finish off‘ your meal chose a fruit option.

11 Oh, and the last tip as you will ALWAYS have a friend that will say ―go on, live a little‖ or ―just have one‖. If you have ‗friends‘ like this then you have to be ultra determined. They will no doubt wish that they had your discipline and your results too. So there you have it. You can have your social life back now!!

David Neve visited Axholme Camera Club to act as Judge in the digitally projected competition 'Dereliction'. An unusual topic, many members were forced to go out and about to find suitable images for the subject. With imagination and enthusiasm, they trawled the countryside far and wide, with an amazing variety of possibilities being unearthed. Entries were sent to George Fiddler who organised the projection on competition night.

The judge, as eloquent as always in his interpretation of the images, awarded top marks of 20 to David Livsey for his 'Chimney Stack' and David Ulyett for 'Derelict Dropout' in the colour section, saying that both were very different, well observed and clearly showed dereliction although in totally different ways.

In the monochrome section, judge David was amazed to see Guy Myers' entry 'Abandoned X-Ray Machine' which achieved 20 marks, along with Keith Cawthorne's image of 'Garner's Barn' which also gained top marks.

The Haxey Parish Photo Competition Camera Club Section was won by one of our Life Members, John Roberts.

Well done John.

Axholme Camera Club had a visit from a very prestigious speaker recently, David Rowley from Cardiff, of DavroDigital and previously Editor of Digital Photo magazine. David presented a 'Photoshop Live' demonstration, showing his expertise by handling, off the cuff, questions, problems and queries from members and demonstrating how to deal with them in Photoshop.

Members were lucky to see David at Axholme, as usually when he visits the area he is presenting at much larger venues, such as the NEMPF symposium in Lincoln recently, Harrogate or York. David was doing a circuit of West Yorkshire Camera Clubs. Luckily, the previous Vice Chairman developed a link with one of these clubs, opening the way for Axholme's inclusion in such Circuits which have, in the past included Steve le Provost from as far afield as Guernsey .

For David Rowley, the Church Hall at Haxey must have seemed a small and cosy venue and the small number present made for a very intimate feel , giving members the confidence to ask questions and discuss problems during the presentation, and David tried out some new ideas which he had never tried before.

Afterwards, David said he had enjoyed himself immensely in such friendly company, as his hosts Marjorie and Tony Furmston of Normanton Camera Club took him back to Altoft near Castleford, for his final night in Yorkshire before the long drive back to Cardiff.

From June meetings are fortnightly on Wednesdays until the end of July. Many of these meetings are visits, photo shoots etc. There is no meeting in August and we reconvene on Wednesday 7th September.

The streets of Leeds came alive on Sunday 8th May 2011, with around 1500 children taking to the streets to enjoy regions biggest free to enter Arena Group Junior and Mini Run. With over 80 schools represented on race day and many children choosing to take part in fancy dress and other costumes everyone seemed to have fun.

One star of the show was 13 year old Jack Marshall from Belton, who has a rare disability called Moebius Syndrome which drastically affects his coordination. He is blind in one eye and reduced hearing in both ears. A lack of nerves in his face means that Jack is unable to smile however Jack has recently blown some kisses which has never happened before.

This year with SUFC Trust launch of disability activities in the local community, Jack Marshall became the Trust Ambassador in 2009 and has lobbied for the charity to raise awareness of the work that they do.

Jack ran the race yesterday with his sister Jaimie Marshall, Jaimie in herself is a credit to Jack and as a young carer she has worked with SUFC Trust to pass on her skills to other young children. Jaimie is also a budding young referee and has refereed many finals this year.

Jack Mum has said how proud she is of Jack,‖ There isn't a measuring scale large enough to calculate the level of pride that I feel when I watch Jack taking part in things. It is so obviously physically challenging to him and causes great discomfort but it's his determination that shines through as he does it. It's not just about Jack, it's also credit to Jaimie because she is the unsung hero in all of this without her he wouldn't be able to do them.‖ This was the hardest run that he has ever done. Not in terms of distance but jack has had a major growing spurt which has emphasised the deformity of the joints of his right leg which is now shorter than his left one. This has resulted in him experiencing greater levels of discomfort but has not affected his levels of determination and courage. Linda his mum has suggested that he should perhaps not do any more runs but I am sure everyone can guess the answer that he gave her!

Jack ran the race for the Scunthorpe United Community Sports and Education Trust, a charity that has been delivering a comprehensive package for young people with a disability for over 18 months now. This has been in partnership with Integrated Services for Disabled Children, North Lincolnshire Council. Activities range from active play to power chair football.

Isle Pub Gives Lindsey Lodge Financial Boost An Isle pub has given the Lindsey Lodge Hospice a financial boost – and there is the promise of even more money to follow during the coming months.

For Karen Curran and ‗Mitch‘ Mitchell, who run Epworth‘s Old School Inn on Battle Green are planning a series of events – all aimed at raising money for the hospice.

Their first was a Family Fun Day on Easter Sunday and it was the proceeds from this event – £180 – that were handed over on Thursday last week (April 28) to the treasurer of the Isle of Axholme Supporter‘s Group, Louise Wright.

She said: “It costs £3.50 every minute, every day of the year so we always welcome every donation. Almost everyone knows someone who has used the services of the Hospice. “The Isle group is very active. We raised £4,000 in 1995 but last year this had risen to £10,000 and it is donations from a place like the Old School Inn that help so much,” she added.

Mitch and Karen have been at the pub for the past 18 months and, having established themselves, now plan a summer of events to raise money for Lindsey Lodge.

A Family Fun Day and a beer festival is planned for August, again to raise money for the Lindsey Lodge Hospice.

Women‘s Institute (WI) Report I was away on holiday for the April meeting, but I am reliably informed the talk, entitled hats and chats, was very enjoyable, good listening and humerous. The May meeting was planned to be at Roseacre Nursery, but was cancelled at short notice, so was changed to a talk by Karin, one of the WI advisors who gave us a well balanced amount of information of how both regional and national organisations work, and what the limitations are when it comes to finances, and being a registered charity. The Charity commissions‘ rules on what can and cannot be done are very stringent and limit how money can be raised to finance the organisation. We were reminded that the object of the WI is to help improve the lives of other women by helping them towards the necessary skills to cope with their lives. There are a large number of younger women in the cities and large towns coming to WI to learn the old skills such as home cooking and sewing because they are no longer taught in all schools. The modern young women are pressed more towards careers, and away from the traditional roles, so it would seem the WI in those places is fulfilling a much needed role.

The National Federation AGM is to be held in Liverpool in the near future and one of the tasks of the meeting this month was to decide which one of two resolutions to put forward to Conference, and which way our delegates were to vote. We selected the resolution about government supporting libraries against closure, and that the delegate was to vote for the resolution.

Unfortunately I will also be away for the next meeting in June, but it will be held in the Red Lion as normal, at 7-45. The topic for the evening is Hearing Dogs for the Deaf. I am sure this will be an interesting evening, and all new members will be very welcome.

Road Basics Dear readers, The majority of car-related collisions occur near T-junctions, cross roads, side turnings, roundabouts, or forks in the road. 95 per cent of them are caused by driver error.

By using Advanced Driving techniques and knowledge, and by developing a systematic approach to you‘re driving you will massively reduce the likelihood of such an ‗accident‘ happening to you.

Lets consider the system used in Advanced Driving when approaching a junction.

Information. Use your mirrors and all-round vision to check the movements of other road uses. Then consider a signal before changing course.

Position. Check your mirrors. Carefully move the vehicle into the correct position for the junction.

Speed. Check your mirrors. Adjust your speed as necessary to prepare for the turn. Signal if necessary and brake progressively. The tighter arc of a left turn generally requires a slower speed than that of a right turn.

Gear. Once you‘re at the right speed, select the correct gear. Reconsider a signal before turning, and make a final mirror check.

Accelerate. As you complete the turn, accelerate smoothly to an appropriate speed, bearing in mind the driving conditions.

Remember

    

Brakes are for slowing, gears are for going; don‘t use the gears to slow you down.

Always drive in a way that allows you to change your plan if a signal is ignored.

Remember all junctions are hazards.

Pull away from a junction only when it‘s completely safe to do so.

Always consider signalling well in advanced of a manoeuvre and take up the correct road position decisively.



Watch out for cyclists who ignore the red light at traffic lights.

Always select the correct lane and signalling procedure when approaching and negotiating roundabouts. Your entry and exit should be decisive, well observed, and safe.

If you are interested in the courses that we offer, you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel: 01302 886 276 Safe Driving Paul Tuke. Senior Training Observer.

Carrside Changing Room facilities have been very badly vandalised, the refurbishment project will cost the users around ÂŁ8000 Carrside Playing Fields ; Epworth Town Men's team oversee the usage at the field and Ady Flint coordinates the users. The field is used by Epworth town, the mowbary, AFC United and all of the Epworth Town Colts youth teams.

Since recent articles have been published, we have had contact from a security firm in Westwoodside. Andy Gillis (U11 Coach) is very involved in the refurbishment project. Andy has received other offers of help from local firms as well!

Also, Skip O'Hara (U13 coach) is organising a large event in Doncaster‘s Sportsman's Dinner, and all proceeds will go to the refurbishment project.

Regards Carys McMahon Tel: 0777 911 3831 after 2.45pm

A new exhibition for 2011at the Epworth Old Rectory, which is to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James translation of the bible was officially opened on Saturday 16th April by Mr Nick Nothard, Chairman of the Isle of Axholme Family History society. His ancestors are mentioned in inscriptions in two of the bibles in the exhibition. One of the photos is of the Rev. David Leese, Superintendent minister of Wesley Memorial Methodist Church, Epworth, who started the handwritten bible project for the Epworth and Scunthorpe Methodist Circuit by writing out the first verse of Acts chapter 2.

ARE YOU ON THE LIST? Many of you will be familiar with the Gilbert and Sullivan sing “I‟ve got a little list”, which includes in the list blanks which, in your imagination, you are able to fill in yourself. This is a list of society offenders who never would be missed. We don‘t expect to be on this-- but in fact it is list of descriptions which perhaps are meant to fit many people. Recently there has been published a list of the UK‘s most wealthiest people- and I certainly didn‘t expect to be on this!

At school there is still the register list and we all feature on that at some time. It was and I think still is in alphabetical order, and so with a surname starting with ‗l‘ I was always somewhere in the middle—but at least I was there. There also used to be the detention lists that came around every week—we didn‘t want to be on that list.

An April edition of „Gardeners‟ Questiontime‟ on radio 4 featured a question from a lady who could not sleep but at night tried to go through the alphabet naming vegetables-she said she usually got stuck on the letter ‗d‘ and the panel agreed that there do not seem to be any vegetables starting with this letter.

As Christians we believe and know that we are on God‘s list of love, it is written “God has no favourites.‖ So whether you are an Allan or a Brewer, a Wright or a Yardley God‘s love encompasses all the letters of the alphabet. We are on that list of love.

Rev David Leese, Wesley Manse, 37 High Street. Epworth.
