Welcome to the March issue of the Epworth and Belton Arrow. As anyone seen the annual play by Haxey Amateur Dramatic Society? Every year this great group of people put on an outstanding comedy performance of farce and have their audience laughing out loud. This year Trevor and his friend Bob lurch from dilemma to disaster and dead bodies start piling up. With an intellectually challenged gardener's daughter, several ‘interesting’ costume changes and Bob’s Mediterranean wife Maria's fiery temperament added into the mix, the chaos continues. This fast-paced farcical comedy promises silly twists and turns… with innuendo a-plenty. Another brilliant fast-paced comedy by the Amateur Dramatic Society, Make sure you book your tickets, full details are on page 6. Keep the good news coming in so you can be part of your local magazine! Enjoy the read and please note the deadline for the March issue is Monday 9th March for distribution by Sunday 29th March.. If you are interested in advertising or simply emailing me some community news, please be in touch before the date.

POLICE REPORT-PROBLEM SOLVING ADVICE FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC BURGLARLY General Advice 1. Keep all the doors and windows locked. 2. Make your property appear occupied, even when you are out. You could use timers to turn on lights and have blinds set to prevent seeing inside, which may confirm a house is unoccupied. 3. If an offender approaches your house, make sure nothing blocks the view of them, such as garden hedges or trees and make sure the area is well lit so they are easily noticed. 4. Keep valuables in the home out of general view from the opportunist burglar. They may look through windows when deciding if the home contains property they consider worth stealing . Use blinds, nets or other window coverings to prevent this. 5. Fit a burglar alarm with visible, deterrent bell boxes front and rear and keep the system maintained. Key Activities A. Mark your valuables B. Consider joining or forming a neighbourhood or business network/group. Offenders are less likely to cause crime in an area where people care. Contact details of your area's Network or Group manager are - Tracey.Coyne@northlincs.gov.uk C.
