FARM MANAGER REQUIRED IN HAXEY page 22 for full details

Important Information for all small businesses employing staff (even just one employee)

Major Changes to PAYE from 6th April 2013 You may have seen references in the press and elsewhere to RTI – real time information.

This is a major change in the way HM Revenue & Customs deal with Pay as You Earn.

We spoke to Bob Berry, Managing Director of Axholme Payroll Services, who said: “This is probably the biggest change I have seen in 46 years of dealing with payroll. I go back to the days when all payroll records were hand written and we used to physically lick and stick stamps onto National Insurance Cards. Over the years mechanisation and then computers have transformed things and in the past ten years or so the development of internet filing has been quite dramatic, but this latest change is a whole new ball game.”

From the employees perspective, nothing much will change – it will all happen behind the scenes – but from an employers perspective, and particularly the very small employer with perhaps only one or two employees, or the one-man limited companies, this may well cause them significant problems. ALL payrolls must now be done by computer, connected to the internet, and information is passed to HMRC relating to the payroll EVERY TIME any employee is paid, rather than just at the end of each tax year as at present.

This means it is vital that correct details are obtained from all new employees, including full name, Home Address, Date of Birth, National Insurance Number and, if a non-UK citizen, details of work permit numbers, passport numbers etc. In the absence of these details it will no longer be possible to process any payroll payments to these employees.

This is a major headache for small employers who use occasional, seasonal, temporary or casual workers.

In future it will no longer be possible to retrospectively adjust payroll records for any errors or omissions, and this could potentially mean employers and employers incurring additional NI costs if pay is omitted and then ‘doubled up’ in a subsequent week – a further point to reinforce the importance of getting full details promptly from new employees.

There is free software available on HMRC website which small employers can use and so avoid the cost of commercial payroll software, but that does not address the problem for many small employers, particularly older employers who may not be computer literate or confident using the internet.

Axholme Payroll Services (AxPay) specialises in payroll processing for companies with less than 100 employees, but have set up a service specifically aimed at these very small employers. The service starts at just £130 per annum (plus VAT), which is less than most of the commercial software packages cost in annual licence fees, let alone any stationery costs etc., and above all the employer frees himself/ herself from the hassle of payroll processing and keeping up to date with changes. The motto of the company is: Axe the hassle of Payroll Processing with AxPay”

Editors Letter…

The first day of the month, May Day, it’s a time of warmer weather (supposedly) and when flowers and trees start to blossom.

People celebrate the coming of summer with lots of different customs. Traditional English May Day celebrations include Morris dancing, crowning a May Queen and dancing around a May pole. If anyone still celebrates in the traditional way it would be great if you could send some photos for the next issue of the Arrow.

A bumper month full of great articles this month!

Keep your articles coming in and if anyone is interested in advertising please give me a call.

A year of progress was reported when Epworth’s Imperial Hall Committee held its AGM in March.

Chair, Denise Miemczyk, highlighted some of the achievements made during the previous 12 months and these included the redecoration and refurbishment of the small hall and work on the backstage area of the large hall.

Referring to the redecoration of the small hall, Mrs Miemczyk said: “The work has resulted in a much lighter, brighter and more versatile space, which has been well received by local groups.”

She went on to stress that she was particularly proud of the Imperial Hall’s new and up-to-date safeguarding policy - incorporating both child protection and that of vulnerable adults.

Mrs Miemczyk concluded by saying, of the Imperial Hall: “that we now have not just a professional team but a formidable one responsible for running a professional service for the community we serve.”

The audited accounts were presented by treasured Martin Whittaker and showed that for the year ending up until December, 2012, the local facility had ended up in the black to the tune of more that £220.

The Imperial Hall is a registered charity and is run by a small committee of eight people, plus two representatives from Epworth Town Council.

It hosts numerous events including yoga, a stopsmoking group, birthday parties, bingo sessions and the monthly meetings of Epworth Town Council.

Anyone wanting to find out about hiring the Imperial Hall is asked to call its bookings secretary, Mary Addlesee on (01427) 873622.

The AGM was held on Tuesday March 26 and Mrs Miemczyk said it was regrettable that not a single person from the general public had attended the event, despite the local media having publicised the event .

The project in question was the complete refurbishment of the Old Rectory’s museum shop, which had contained and old counter, a donated shop unit, some shelving and other odd pieces of furniture.

In January this year some excellent, quality shop fitting were offered to the Old Rectory by the Museum of Methodism in London, which was being completely renewed.

Following a visit to London it was realised that the shop fittings on offer would be ideal for the shop at the Old Rectory – which is also an accredited museum - and a sustainability grant was applied for and granted by the Association of Independent Museums (AIM), a charitable institution based at Ludlow in Shropshire The grant was to enable the shop fittings from London to be transported to Epworth and erected to give their maximum impact, along with a new cash register and displays to improve the image of the gift shop.

The whole project cost more than £2,400 and was completed in time for the start of the Old Rectory’s 2013 season this month.

Rev Claire Potter, curator at the Old Rectory, said: “This complete redesign of the shop has been of great benefit. Without the commitment and many hours of work by a team of volunteers it wouldn’t have been possible.

“Likewise, without the AIM sustainability grant we wouldn’t have been able to make it happen. We’re very grateful,” she added.

Plans are currently in hand to completely restore the Old Rectory, a Grade 1 listed building, to the way it would have looked when occupied by the Wesleys in the early 18th century.

The Garden Club at Epworth will be holding their next monthly Club meeting on Tuesday 14th A small, but significant step, in a move to completely revamp one of May. There will be a demonstration by Peter of Epworth, Fruit Processing and Fruit North Lincolnshire’s popular tour- Barnard Tree Pruning. The competition for the evening is ist attractions has been completed. “A bunch of flowering weeds in a vase”.

The work has been taking place at Epworth’s Old Rectory – the childhood home of John and Charles Wesley, who formed a movement that went on to become the world-wide Methodist Church.

All events start at 7.30pm at the Imperial Hall, Epworth. Doors open from 6.45pm. If you are interested in joining the Committee, please speak to a current Committee member or call 01427 874126.

Amateur Dramatics The Epworth Mowbray Players No. 11 by Anthony Catherall I quote from a newspaper cutting of Friday March 27 1959. “The Epworth Mowbray Players on Saturday night ended a four-night run of the domestic three-act comedy, ‘Sailor Beware,’ in the Imperial Hall, Epworth. Large audiences have filled the hall each night and the general opinion is that the play is one of the most entertaining and lively productions ever staged by the society…… Marjorie Trimingham, as Emma Hornett was outstanding in a long and difficult part as a masterful housewife whose sharp tongue dominates the whole household. Her hen-pecked husband, Henry (George H. Archer), is quite the opposite preferring a quiet life and whose sole interest lies in his ferrets. He was excellent in a scene after he had visited the ‘White Hart’. The two sailors Albert Tufnell (Bob Robinson) and Carnoustie Bligh (Ronald Fairhurst) were a contrast in style…

Newcomers to the Epworth stage, Pat Rimington and Shirley Mellors, both played their parts with credit. As Shirley Hornet (the bride) an attractive girl with a glamorous smile Pat Rimington gave a praiseworthy performance” That year 1959, I sailed off to Malaya and Singapore for three years serving in H.M. Forces, I had never heard of Epworth, yet some 52 years later writing and talking about people I know and have met in this still small community.

Cast of “Sailor Beware” Ella Dempster – Shirley Mellors – George H. Archer – Bob Robinson – Marjorie Trimingham – Pat Rimington – Joyce Battye – Ronald Fairhurst – M. Clifford Trimingham.

Now & Then - Then & Now No. 49 by Anthony Catherall This month & every month see Epworth in bygone days and compare to today's images !

An astonishingly pretty picture postcard Edwardian scene of Queen Street Epworth towards the Market Place circa 1910-20. The contrast of trees, stylish brick walls, grand residences coupled with small cottages opposite left, give such a balanced composition on the eye. Sympathetic tree planting close to the centres of village's and towns soften the environment providing the scenes that tourists and photographers crave for, exactly like Epworth had in Edwardian days highlighted by the plethora of Epworth postcards published. Sensible planning of both large and small varied shops in the different locations increase house prices, bring in shoppers, tourists and their money that boost the local economy. A comprehensive selection of shops including food and other markets creates vibrancy, encourages visitors and encourages residents to shop locally like Epworth people used to do at over sixty shops in and around our High Street. The spending per capita was considerable. We see no cars in the above photograph. Many of Britain's most successful tourist and market towns and villages have reversed the trend of dense parking on their narrow streets to boost their economy with safe and relaxing passage for pedestrians. The picture below was taken from the position where the Rio Cinema used to stand on 4 March 2013.

The Sunniest Town in the UK Do you know which town is reputed to have the most sunshine per year? You might think of Bournemouth or Brighton or St Austell’s near ‘The Eden Project’ in Cornwall. I am told, on very good authority, that the correct answer is Bognor Regis in West Sussex. My wife and I didn’t know that when we decided to move there for our retirement.

The word ‘sun’ could also be spelt ‘son’.

On Easter Day I attended a ‘Sonrise Service’ to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus – the Son of God. Were I to ask the question “Which is the Sonniest town in the UK?” I could not give an answer.

Jesus said, “Where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them” – Matthew 18:20. Surely wherever worship takes place becomes the ‘Sonniest’ place in the UK and that is the village where you live!

So please come and help “The Son Shine” on my final service at All Saints Church Belton on Sunday 30th June 2013. All are welcome.

Hearth Project Gets underway At Old Rectory A £20,000 project, to help restore one of North Lincolnshire’s popular tourist attractions to how it would have looked more than 300 years ago, is about to get underway.

The work is taking place inside Epworth’s Old Rectory – an accredited museum – where additional conservation work also starts in the last week of April.

The internal project has been dubbed ‘Putting the Hearth Back into the Home’ and involves restoring the main chimney stack and opening up the fireplaces in the main entrance hall and the fore-kitchen to how they would have looked when the Old Rectory was occupied by the Wesley family. Fireside cupboards, which have been sealed for many years, will also be opened and restored.

The house was the childhood home of John and Charles Wesley, who founded a movement that went on to become the world-wide Methodist Church.

The museum’s curator, Rev Claire Potter, said: “The restoration of the fireplaces is the first step in a move to return the Old Rectory to how it would have looked in the early 1700’s. Open fires in authentic fireplaces in two of the most important rooms in the house will greatly enhance the atmosphere for the numerous visitors attracted here every year.”

Before any of the work could commence, Listed Building Consent had to be sought from the local planning authority – North Lincolnshire Council (NLC). The application included a planning permission application for the front garden to be ramped, in order to afford better access for all.

Funding for the project came from a number of sources, including more than £9,000 from NLC’s LEADER programme (European Union funds administered locally by the council) an endowment fund which had been collected in America for the Old Rectory and donations from Friends of Epworth Old Rectory.

“After years of planning, those of us associated with the Old Rectory now feel we are actually getting somewhere. However, we’ve still got a long way to go,” added Rev Potter.

DRAMADOC During the last few days I have heard this word used. I think it is in one sense a ‘portmanteau word’ –that is one that combines two meanings. Invariably it has been used specifically to draw the distinction between the facts of Mrs Thatcher’s life and her political achievements or failings, as against those dramas that have been written about her, The use of the word ‘dramadoc’ is meant to emphasise the facts of our life themselves can create a drama- that they are not contradictory.

Hans Christian Anderson, the Danish writer wrote “That everyman’s life is a fairy story written by the finger of God,” and we often hear the expression ‘fact is stranger than fiction’ or even of something that has been experienced, “if this were written in a book people would not believe it.”

We are thankful for those fact s of our lives, where we are born, where we have lived, the people we have shared our life and love with. But thankful too for the drama they has been created, by way of highlight, be it comedy, farce or another type of drama.

Rev David Leese Wesley Manse, Epworth.

Amateur Radio has a long and interesting history.

Some of the earliest work in its development started way back in the latter years of Queen Victoria's reign, the late 1800’s.

We could present a logical argument in support of the view that it was the starting point for the development of radio, radar, television, microwave applications, satellite communication, radio astronomy, much of military communication, navigational aids, emergency support, medical research and intervention, remote switching and even elements of computer developments. Phew!! And we call ourselves ’amateurs’!

Today, amateurs communicate with one another locally and around the world using morse keys (still), keyboards and microphones to meet amateurs wherever they may be. We bounce signals off the moon and passing meteorite showers; uplink our messages to dedicated amateur satellites; use amateur financed and supported repeater stations strategically placed to facilitate message transfer; we talk to astronauts at times as they circle the Earth; we sue the Internet to create links accessed by radio equipment operated by amateurs, and more. Language does not present a barrier in most cases since the world language of amateur radio is English. Fortunately!

We talk to pop stars, kings, show business and sporting personalities, amongst others, who share our hobby.

In times of local or national emergency, our licence allows us to support the appropriate national forces in their work. These include the armed forces, ambulance, police, fire stations, flood protection services, coastguards and others. Members of our club are part of the local Emergency Planning Committee. We provide safety support to many charity fund raising events and draw attention to events marking local or national historic occasions.

We visit clubs, societies, schools and colleges to demonstrate and explain amateur radio. We offer and deliver training to those who wish to become licenced. Yes, we are licensed and if you glance back at the words above, it should be apparent that we need to have some knowledge of all the other people with who we share the airwaves. Licenced radio amateurs have access and permission to use quite large parts of the radio spectrum and some are shared with very sensitive users like hospitals and their operating theatres and monitoring equipment in high level care areas; with air traffic control and navigational aids.

To get your licence you need to pass a fairly simple exam, largely to demonstrate your awareness of safety issues and the need to avoid interfering with sensitive other users. Once y0u have passed this exam and received your licence you will be allocated your own unique callsign.

If you read between the lines of what I have written above, you will realise that what we are talking about is one thingCOMMUNICATION. Yes, you can communicate via your home or mobile phone or the internet and most radio amateurs have these too. But how else can you so easily cross the boundaries of language, nationality, age, ability/disability AND gain new skills and friends?

If I have stirred any interest and made you think that you would like to know more, get in touch.

On 8th April, the Epworth and District Flower Club were visited by Heather Shaw and her husband, from Boston, Lincs. Heather began by telling us she started flower arranging at the tender age of four years old, and 53 years later she had progressed from making buttonholes in a fruit and veg. shop, to running shops, flower arranging and teaching having worked with 'flower arranging royalty' in the form of the late Lady Seton, Julia Clements VMH, OBE. She confessed to 'like playing with colour'; and her creations reflected this, challenging the more reserved amongst us to be more adventurous with the 'colour wheel', e.g. choose colours opposite each other like orange and blue, toned with yellow which is complementary to orange.

Every demonstrator brings something different to the club in the way of design or merry banter, and the theme for Heather's arrangements was 'With a European Touch' which related to 'European Design' that Heather taught in New York, (in her holidays from De Montfort College, Lincoln!) When she asked her students to meet her at 6.30 outside a well known burger bar before going to the flower market for a lesson on 'Care and conditioning', she was asked "Is that a.m.?" They were to learn that by 9.30 a.m. all the best stock had gone and they were clearing up. She also taught in the botanical gardens in The Bronx; ran courses in Ireland (where she learnt they have their own sense of time!); and arranged flowers at a party in the orangery of an Italian villa celebrating 150 years of Louis Vuitton.

While she chatted we were treated to a kaleidoscope of designs: from Holland a 'Continental' arrangement in a trough in reds, pinks, and silver which included 'Hedera Helix Erecta' or 'Stricta' (a perpendicular ivy, rarely seen); to reflect her visits to Austria skiing, a 'forward cascade' in shades of white, cream and yellow with 'overlays' (a european design element) of cotton wool balls threaded together, (beads or twigs could also be used); from Madeira, a pair of 'birds of paradise' in claret, and orange with clipped fatsia leaf 'wings' and Strelitzia heads for 'head and beak of adults and chicks in a nest' of manipulated willow (see pictures); a Golden Cut or Golden Ratio influenced design in orange, blue and yellow, where the proportions of the two smaller arrangements are equal to the larger one e.g. 2:1, 5:3, 5:8. This principle is echoed by Phideas and Fibbonacci in architecture and nature to create something aesthetically pleasing. Inspired by working on nine foot pillars at the Boston Stump Church Festival, Heather created a design suspended on a frame using pink ribbon threaded through aspidistera leaves with other flowers in purple/white, pink/white, and pink/purple; the final piece had a real wow factor in the form a 'Constance Spry', 'front-facing pedestal' creation in pinks and purples with sprays of 'Pink Flash' roses and purple Dendrobium orchids.

We were delighted to have two new visitors, one of whom was lucky to win one of the many raffled arrangements, organised by Jill Towns, and Ellen Cooper. Our hostesses Sandra Thorpe and Margaret Jones provided refreshments and the vote of thanks for a wonderful evening.

Later this month on 22nd April members will meet for a belated New Years meal at Hattie's. The next meeting will be held in our usual venue The Stephen Jones Community Hall, behind the Methodist Chapel in Low St., Haxey on 13th May at 7.30 p.m. Alison Walling will be giving a talk, demonstration, and workshop on willow weaving, as the creator behind 'the menagerie' at the Christmas display in Doddington Hall, which members enjoyed last year. Visitors are always welcome: £5.00 to include refreshments; annual membership is £25.00. The July meeting will be a trip to Winthrop Park, Wickersley, Rotherham, to include a light tea. Members are to make their own way there for 7 p.m. Names of those wishing to attend and the cost of the tea at £8.50 each, are required by the June meeting.

" just online” is a new music video by local indie band The Torn.

It was entirely created, filmed and produced by the band, final editing by the bands lead guitarist Nick Berry. It showcases the bands new song " A Thousand Leeches", which was created by Nick & bass guitarist TJ Taylor, and is loosely based on the Dragons Den TV series. Filmed @ The Old Willow Works near Beckingham over a 5 day period…..32 hours of filming later, which produced 4 hours which was used to create the 3minute video. This is the bands 2nd video, the first filmed at Robin Hood Airport earlier in 2012.

In 2013 2 more videos are planned, one of which will be directed by actress Sheridan Smith, whose brother Damian Dalton-Smith is the bands vocalist/rhythm guitarist.

The Torn are busy scheduling the rest of the year, including gigs at The Sands Venue, Blackpool, Manchester, London, South-West and several local music festivals.

The Torn are Damian Dalton-Smith ( from Epworth) Nick Berry ( Haxey) TJ Taylor (Westwoodside) and Ben Mullins (Doncaster) The Video cast: The Torn The Dragons Maxine Downes (Beckingham) Ali Smith (Newark) Paul McCaig (Epworth) AlanMalone(Gainsbro) The Models Emma & Sarah Carter (Gainsbro.)

Eco-Driving tips Dear readers, Keep your vehicle moving as long as you can, even in traffic queues. Driving at a constant speed is more fuel-efficient than accelerating and braking.

Plan ahead to avoid the need for heavy braking.

Check your vehicle regularly to ensure it operates efficiently. In particular check the condition of and pressure of your tyres. Wrongly inflated tyres can have a big impact on fuel economy.

Remove unnecessary weight, including roof racks, car clutter, and heavy items in the boot.

Use air conditioning or climate control sparingly as it can increase fuel consumption. Clear ice from the windscreen before starting the engine and keep the inside of the front and rear windscreen clean so they’re less likely to mist up. However, keep your windows closed when you’re driving at high speed to maintain the aerodynamics of the car.

Change up through the gears as soon as possible – aim to keep petrol engines at 2000rpm and diesel engines at 1.500rpm (though consult your vehicle’s handbook for advice on how this may effect your diesel particulate filter).

Reverse into parking bays so you do all manoeuvring with a warm engine.

Consider walking, cycling or using public transport for short trips that would other wise be done using a cold engine.

Aim to keep a constant medium to low speed in areas with speed bumps rather than accelerating after and braking before each bump.

Drivers, who exceed motorway speed limits, could reduce their speed from over 80mph to 70mph will save nearly half a litre of petrol every 10 miles.

If you are interested in further information regarding the courses that we offer you will be able to find this information by contacting.
