Epworth Music Day 2024 News After another great day last year, live music is back in town for this year’s Epworth Music Day on Saturday 22nd June!

With less than 2 months to go before this year’s Music Day, we’re putting the final pieces together for another great day of celebrating live music. In the daytime there’ll be over 90 hours of free music from 10am to 5pm in 14 venues around Epworth, featuring nearly 60 different groups and performers of all types of music. All this is free; no tickets are needed.

We will again be closing the roads to traffic in the centre of Epworth from 9.30am to 5pm on 22nd June.

As well as the daytime programme, The Queen’s Head, The White Bear, The Old School Inn, Koko’s and Hatty’s will be putting on their own music in the evening, and this will round off a fabulous day’s music and entertainment.

At 7pm there will also be a concert with 6 different groups – again of all types of music – performing in St Andrew’s Church – and the Folk Dance group of the Yorkshire Camping and Caravanning Club will be putting on a ceilidh in the Imperial Hall, starting at 7.30pm.

Again, all the evening music and the ceilidh are free; no tickets are needed.

Full details of the performers and the daytime and evening programmes will be available at www.epworthmusicday.com and will be available on the day. You can also follow us on our Facebook page.

PENSIONERS’ SOUP AND SANDWICH KITCHEN I attended the first of these events on Wednesday 20th March when we enjoyed a selection of soups and sandwiches followed by tea or coffee. We got to know a little more about the two ladies who are organising the ‘KITCHEN’ on the first and Third Wednesdays of each month in Haxey Church Hall 12.30 – 2.30 p.m. (charge £5.00). Cherie and Jacqui want to provide a meeting place for ‘oldies’, like myself who value the chance to meet with others over a light meal. It would be helpful if you will book ahead contacting Jacqui on 07923830482 or Cherie on 07970336137. It may be possible to arrange a lift if you need one.

I attended the second ‘KITCHEN’ on April 3rd .

Word had got about and a few more people were there; please join us for some fellowship. Well done Jacqui and Cherie for providing this community venture.

Crime Prevention Event – Epworth Community Team On Thursday 4 April, officers from our Neighbourhood Policing Team held their first Crime Prevention Event at Epworth Police Station.

Joined by our colleagues from Safer Neighbourhoods, the team spoke with residents and offered crime prevention advice on how to keep property their safe, whilst handing out free products such as door and window alarms and faraday bags.

Speaking with over 60 residents throughout the day, the team also gained lots of information about issues that have been affecting the community. We value all information we receive, no matter how small it may seem, as it helps us to build up the bigger picture of what is going on enabling us to take appropriate action to help keep the community safe.

Many people who attended also completed our Humber Talking Survey and signed up to our free messaging service, My Community Alert.

My Community Alert is a free messaging system operated by Humberside Police, Humberside Fire & Rescue Service, and Humberside Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner, giving you live information about incidents happening in your area.

Find out what is happening in your area and subscribe via the link below to be the first to know about issues that might affect you and your family: www.mycommunityalert.co.uk The team will be holding future events throughout the year to allow those that couldn’t attend to obtain advice, collect crime prevention devices, and meet the team. The next event is due to be held on Thursday 6 June, starting at 9am.

Thank you to everyone that took the time out of their day to come along and speak to the team, we hope to see another great attendance at our next event.

High Levels WI On two consecutive evenings in mid-March approximately 30 members, though not all the same members, met for two enjoyable evenings.

The first evening was a visit to Sheffield Lyceum Theatre to see a production of Sunset Boulevard by the Croft House Theatre Company. A coach transported the eager ladies and as they arrived early there was time for a refreshing drink prior to the performance. Enthusiasm for the outing was guaranteed as the leading lady in the show was Mary Kingsnorth, known by many as Mary Daw. Mary is a local lady with an amazing amount of talent and she had liaised with the WI member who organised the visit.

Seats in the centre of the stalls enabled everyone to see and hear well. The version of Sunset Boulevard was created by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and has been in the West End and on Broadway. Mary was excellent as the leading role and was supported very ably by seven other members of the Croft Team.

High Levels members had time to cross the courtyard after the show and await the arrival of the star. A drink was enjoyed by many and congratulations expressed to Mary on her arrival. A short while later it was time to climb onto the coach for the return journey. High spirits ensued as the coach driver ably returned everyone to their starting point, probably making bedtime a little later than usual for many.

The second evening was the normal meeting night at the Reindeer Inn, Sandtoft. Members and visitors were welcomed and after the usual rendition of Jerusalem a small amount of business was conducted before reference was made to the previous evening’s outing. The organiser was thanked and it was obvious how much the evening had been enjoyed. Details of future outings were given and further suggestions asked for. Thanks and reminders for donations to local foodbanks, an ongoing charitable act this year, were expressed before the evening’s speaker was introduced.

Stuart Garfoot talked on Canal Art but he picked up on the atmosphere from the previous evening and made amusing reference to it before he began. He spoke about the development of life on the canals and their place in the country’s history. He illustrated his talk with pictures on a screen and talked about how he became interested and how he painted some of the artifacts shown. Members expressed interest in his techniques and he demonstrated his craft. Concluding his talk Stuart told members how he painted artifacts which were used to raise money for canal charities, and he had a large display of items which members could purchase when the meeting was closed.

A raffle and refreshments followed, giving members an opportunity to socialise before many left earlier than normal after Tuesday’s late night.

In May High Levels will discuss the Resolutions which have been chosen to take forward to a vote at the National WI meeting in June. On a less serious note there will be a “get to know you” aspect of the evening. It may be a good occasion to join. The WI ethos is friendship so if you have been thinking of joining, come along. We meet to begin at 6.45pm and meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Future speakers will be on Yorkshire Edible Flowers and a practical workshop on Air Clay.

Glow Walk 2024 Friday 6th September We offer a traditional 10-mile route and a shorter five-mile route, to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and experience the very special atmosphere that the Glow Walk evening brings.

Entry is £15, but if you're walking in a group of 5 or more, we're offering a discounted rate of £12.50 per person which you can select when purchasing your tickets.

We'll have pre-event music and a fun warm up, and glow walkers are encouraged to literally light up the night with their outfits and accessories, whilst raising sponsorship to provide the much-needed funds Lindsey Lodge needs to continue to provide its care.

For the last mile of the walk we are offering our walkers the option to walk with a memory lantern to remember their loved one.

When they return to the Hospice there will be a designated area in our garden where they leave their candle on the letters spelling out ‘Glow’ and write a message if they wish. There will also be a screen sharing memory photos of our walkers’ loved ones, which they can send in to us in advance by sending to llh.enquiries@nhs.net Whether it’s to walk in memory of a friend or loved one, a way of keeping fit, or simply to do something different with your friends on a Friday night – whatever the reason, you’ll be sure of a fantastic night – all in aid of Lindsey Lodge!

1st Isle of Axholme BP Scouts April 2024 Brave Scouts and cubs have been camping! The cubs first overnight camps of the year was in tents but indoors at West Butterwick Village Hall. Impressively, every single cub came to camp which is brilliant and helps them to gel as a wolf pack. They did brilliantly, putting up tents and organising their camp area, including tent inspection. They played lots of games and completed their entertainer badges in the evening, plus having supper! One favourite game is hunting of one of the leaders in the dark – they have to be VERY quiet and try to get to him. But, if he hears them he shines a torch on them, and they are OUT. In the morning they broke camp, tidied up and had breakfast. An excellent introduction to camping away from home, and skills needed for the big joint section summer camp in July.

The scouts camp was at Summerbridge Church Hall, Nidderdale and equally full-on! On Saturday they all hiked up to Brimham Rocks, on the way practicing mapwork and compass navigation skills. After lunch we had the infamous hide and seek, sardines and tag games in a boulder strewn clearing. Excellent teamwork in the evening cooking a 2-course meal, catering to preferences and allergies alike. Plus, loads of games in the evening, including ball games and developing our ninja sneaking skills in the darkened Church! On the Sunday we went to a centre who taught us axe throwing, and then laser quest in the woods, followed by a picnic. We then went to the newly renovated Nidderdale Leisure Centre for their afternoon inflatables swimming session.

Scouts have completed their 4-week film-making training by students from Lincoln University, and gained their photography badges. We enjoyed a viewing of all the finished projects and a graduation ceremony with awarding of certificates. It has been brilliant to have such a knowledgeable team and an opportunity like this to offer the scouts!

After the Easter holidays our silver DofE scouts will begin their expedition phase with a 3 day trek near Buxton. And then we are all taking part in CPR and first aid training, to gain our junior lifesaving qualification and first aid scout badge.

Beavers section will soon restart - please get in touch if your child (aged 5-8 years) would like to join us this Term.

Sections all meet at the Westwoodside Village Hall: (Cubs, Scouts and Senior Scouts) meeting on Monday evenings 6pm (Cubs), and 7pm (Scouts & Senior Scouts), and Beavers (tbc) probably on a Tuesday evening at 6pm (from September).

All enquiries about Scouts or Beavers should go to Gregor on: gagibb79@aol.com, 22 Please mention “The Arrow” when responding to advertisements and Cub enquiries should go to Matthieu at: matthieu_maloigne@mentor.com.

Early days in Epworth by Brian Rycroft.

Early days in the Isle has given me wonderful memories!

I was sponsored by Mr Keall’s farm at Haxey Carr where I also lived for a while at the piggery. Sadly the piggery is no longer there (Starr Carr Farm). I am from Grimsby, but I always class the Isle of Axholme as my second home. Here are some of my memories, I hope you enjoy!

Mr. Brian Maxfield and myself at The Epworth Show.

Centre photo: my old "boss " Mr. A Keall who owned a farm down Haxey Carr.

The gentleman on the right is Mr. Clive Glew in the back garden of 20 Mowbray Street Epworth the home of Mr and Mrs Stanley where I lodged. How I remember the Sunday dinners starting with a large Yorkshire pudding filled with thick gravy, also not forgetting our beer from the Mowbray Arms across the street which I believe is now a Co-op.

Bottom Left photo shows three ladies who worked on Mr. Keall's farm sat on his lorry, on the left Mrs. Mary Maxfield of Mowbray Street, Mrs. Carson who lived down Haxey Carr and Mrs Coggon of Epworth "not sure if I've spelt her name correctly!

Centre photo is Mr. Clive Glew with his son Adrian on Church Walk, Epworth.

The last photo shows my old Forman Mr. Towns of Haxey Carr, he was 70 + years and had never been to the seaside!!!!!

Epworth and District Flower Club Anne Everatt, the chairperson, welcomed members to the April meeting on Monday, 8th April. She informed everyone of a letter of thanks from Lindsey Lodge Hospice following the donation of £1000. The club had presented a cheque, which was the proceeds of the Open Meeting in November, at the March meeting. Anne went on to report that there was a programme change for May as the demonstrator booked had had an accident. Instead the club will have a Supermarket Challenge which is created by 4 (lottery selected) volunteers buying supermarket flowers and other volunteers demonstrating an arrangement with them. These have been enjoyable and successful evenings in the past.

Anne then introduced the speaker for the evening, Sue, who represented “Pollen” which she informed us is a retail and commercial florist-based business in Doncaster.

Sue gave us a fascinating account of how she became interested in floristry. She talked about graphic design in the retail industry and advertising and how the human eye responds to different stimuli. She mentioned how this has influenced floristry in the wider environment and how as times have changed it is no longer necessary to stick to rigid rules but to use one’s imagination and be creative.

Sue talked about the emphasis now on sustainability and the development of less packaging and the replacement of Oasis. Sue interspersed her talk with reference to door wreaths and began to show how easily they could be made. She talked of the history of them and how it is very fashionable and acceptable to have door wreaths at any time of the year. Sue demonstrated how to create a wreath using moss for a base on a copper ring and she proceeded to attach neat handfuls of evergreen foliage of great variety binding each handful tightly with florists’ wire. She completed the design with a raffia bow which enhanced the natural appearance and finally emphasised the idea of utilising what is naturally available.

Sue’s final comment was to recommend that we all should encourage the use of local shops and resources which in turn helps the sustainability of the environment The meeting concluded with a raffle and refreshments and the opportunity to buy plants brought by members on a plant stall. This plant “Swap Shop” is always popular and provides additional financial resources as well as much amusement as individuals remember names and descriptions of how the plant looks later in the year.

The May meeting will be as mentioned, a Supermarket challenge and in June there will be a workshop given by Jo Smith, a floral designer.

24 mention “TheChurch Arrow” when responding toofadvertisements We meetPlease at 7.30pm in St Andrew’s Epworth on the second Monday the month. Come and visit or join us.

DONCASTER CANCER DETECTION TRUST Here we are, well into Spring and we hope by the time you read this that warm sunshine is the norm after what seems like months of rain!

We are delighted to say we have donated half the cost of a Nasendoscopy system (£35,000) to Doncaster Royal Infirmary, with DRI paying the remainder. This system will support their Speech and Language therapists in undertaking examination of the nose, throat and voice box and is a test that is used to identify cancers and support patients who have had cancer.

We have been very fortunate in receiving money from two recent wills. We are in talks with DRI as to other equipment they need and we will bring you news of this hopefully next month.

In the meantime we are very grateful to all our fundraisers who do a tremendous job in raising money on our behalf. Some of you do energetic sports for sponsorship, others take a more leisurely approach. Whatever you do on our behalf we are really grateful.

If you could send us a photograph with a short write-up we will do our best to include it on our website.

Our details are: 22 Wood Street, Doncaster DN1 3LW (entrance by the side of Kerry Gough Florists), first floor (lift available), Room 104. Tel. 01302 325029. Email: info@dcdt.co.uk. Website: dcdt.co.uk. As the office is not fully manned it is best to Email or telephone in advance if you are thinking of coming to see us.

Our charity believes local money should help local people. All money raised goes towards equipment for our local hospitals.

None of our staff are paid, we are all volunteers.
