News, News, News, Daphne Foundation Coffee Morning Sat 20th July 2013 The recent Coffee Morning for the Daphne Foundation Charity was a successful event so we’d like to thank all those who helped either with their time, donated baking or attended & bought lots of wonderful hand made Kenyan goods. The Kenyan craftspeople are so creative; it’s amazing what they can make by using old carrier bags, used drinks cans, old cement bags, animal bones & beads.

We must also thank Sue & Colin at Sunnybank Garden Centre & Lee at Plevey’s for their kind donations of raffle prizes; they were much appreciated & all helped to raise a fantastic £300 for the Charity. The signed copy of Henry Winkler’s (The Fonz) children’s book was won

by Jenny Breacons of Dunsville & Jean Wright of Edenthorpe won 2nd prize. The proceeds of the book raffle - £50, were split 50/50 between the Daphne Foundation & the Friends of Hatfield Church Building Trust & was included in the £300 total.

The Daphne Foundation proceeds will be used for a water & sanitation project in Mwembe Swere, Kenya.

HATFIELD WOODHOUSE AMATEUR GARDENING SOCIETY. The Society's August 'meeting' was the annual outing which took place on Tuesday the sixth. This year, a full coach of members and friends went to Sledmere House and Gardens on the Yorkshire Wolds.

On the way we paused at Langlands Nursery and Garden Centre, near Market Weighton, for coffee and plant hunting. One of our members located a variegated camellia. This unusual plant, only recently available to the retail trade, was quickly snapped up.

At Sledmere, we all enjoyed the the house and garden. The house, though on the small side compared with some country estates, has a very informal atmosphere. This is probably because most of it is still used by the resident family. Guided tours were available and these were informative and informal, the guides being very knowledgable about the house and estate, and welcoming questions as well.

The main feature in the grounds is the walled garden. This is laid out with a mixture of flowering plants and shrubs, as we'll as a variety of vegetables. The lean-to green houses were also well stocked, one being of particular interest. Growing up the back wall were both cucumbers and tomatoes, both of which were producing good crops.

Also in the gardens, at the opposite side from the house to the walled garden there is a box tree parterre, this year planted out in striking yellow and orange flowering plants.

And the few minutes to spare before returning to the coach were enough to look at the small Waggoner's Museum in the old stable courtyard. This recounts the story of the men of the Sledmere area who went to the First World War specifically to look after the many horses and wagons used for transport in that conflict.

So this month we are back to business as usual. On Tuesday 3 September we start out new session at Hatfield Woodhouse Working Men's Club (start at 7-30), with a talk by Lee Plevey. Lee is an old fiend of the Society and will be speaking about Gardening Matters. We are not sure what topics will be covered, but based on our previous talks from Lee it will be very informative, with questions and discussion being a part of the presentation. We look forward to seeing old and new members and visitors.

On the following Saturday (7th September) we will be holding the Hatfield Woodhouse Autumn Show at the Working Men's Club. The Club will be open at 9am for competitors to set up their entries. Competitors will be asked to leave the Club at 10-55am, and judging will commence at 11o'clock. The Show will be open to the public at 2pm, and the trophies will be presented at about 3pm. This will be followed by the auction of unclaimed entries, the proceeds going to the Society's funds. Some classes are for members only (Vegetables, Fruit and Flowers) and the others (Floral Art, Handicrafts, Produce and Childrens) are open.

Leptospirosis in dogs – What’s new?

ANIMAL CARE FOR THE FUTURE

14

Facts: Leptospirosis, also known as Weil’s disease, is a bacterial disease affec ng both animals and humans. The disease can be fatal for both humans and dogs The bacteria are shed in the urine by chronically infected host species such as rodents.

Transmission of the infec on can occur by direct contact with their urine or by contact with contaminated water, e.g. slow‐moving waters and lakes.

Infected dogs can therefore become infected if they swim in or drink from contaminated water or if they come into contact with wildlife.

Infected dogs can develop severe clinical disease and will also shed the bacteria in their urine and thereby be a source of infec on for people handling them.

What’s changed?

For many years now dogs have been vaccinated annually for two types of leptospirosis as part of their yearly booster.

However, in recent years it has become evident that there are now four types of leptospirosis causing a poten al risk of infec on.

New improved vaccine: A new improved vaccine is now finally available.

The vaccine protects dogs from the four types of leptospirosis and it also reduces the shedding of bacteria within their urine and thereby reduces the risk of human transmission.

At Evolu on Animal Care we have now implemented the new vaccine as part of our rou ne vaccina on protocol.

For more informa on please contact us on 01405 812142.

Remember all dogs are at risk of leptospirosis.

Can you afford not to vaccinate?

Just one more night…………..

During last month’s column I began the process of unburdening myself of years of guilt. It is a process I would now like to successfully conclude as I write this piece. As stated many times, some Arrow readers may find it hard to believe that so many crazy things have happened to one person.

Well, unfortunately, some of what has gone before has also been to my detriment. Let me begin…

It is the winter of 1992 and I have successfully completed my first year at University. This was no doubt my golden period. I was flying high as the captain of the most successful University football team ever. I had a wide circle of friends, some of whom were even of the female persuasion, and let’s just say that more often than not there was a pair of ‘sling backs’ next to my well-trodden trainers under the bed of a morning. I would regularly chance my arm with the ladies of Preston in the various student haunts around the town without fear of failure. It was on one of these sorties that I found myself in a bit of a drunken tangle and being introduced to a young woman by the name Sandra. Yes, you read it correctly; her name – in 1992 - was Sandra. Without wanting to paint too much of a picture Sandra, much like her moniker, wasn’t exactly blessed in the looks department.

Now don’t get me wrong, I know that I’m far from an oil painting myself, but this girl could have held her own at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Being approximately 1.30am I subjected Sandra to both barrels of my charm shotgun and before she knew what was happening I was escorting her back to her Halls of Residence. Sandra had been a tough nut to crack and I had drained the well dry in summoning up my best material. And yes, I have to admit I stooped quite low, even by my standards in terms of the sweet nothings I offered up like love candy. My moral compass had gone south and I was a man on a mission to round third and get myself a home run. I will spare you the gory details, this is a family show after all, plus I know that there will be a few men reading this hoping I might drop in a few trade secrets. I conclude by simply stating that after a lengthy amount of flattery and re -assurance it was Mission Accomplished and I left early the next morning with the smug satisfaction that another raid on enemy territory had been negotiated. And of course, I freely admit that I had no intention of ever fulfilling the contractual obligations and promises I had whispered so sweetly hours before.

A day turned into a week and the weeks into months and I had not returned any of Sandra’s calls.

Hell, there was no time to live in the past, this cad had already moved onto his next prey. However, it would transpire that I had seriously underestimated the level of Sandra’s feelings towards me after our night of passion. I was left stunned when I ran out onto the pitch on football training night to see that Sandra had joined the University Women’s Football Club. For the next fortnight I was like a bear in a trap, wherever I went so did Sandra. Everywhere I went, she’d pop up, and she even befriended one of my housemates in an attempt to win me over. No matter how much I ignored her she remained undeterred until an incident one Sunday night finally pushed me over the edge.

Our local radio station would host a show called “Pillow Talk” most evenings into the wee small hours, a session designed for those who may be feeling lonely, broken hearted or even just happy in the bosom of their love that they wanted to shout it to from the radio rooftops. The programme was remarkably popular as it tended to be on at the same time as many a student would be burning the midnight oil trying to catch up with their studies, or maybe attempting to work out how to use an iron. This night, as I lay on my bed idly flicking through the latest edition of 4-4-2 Football Magazine, my attention was caught by the following announcement: “I have a message here from a lovely young lady who goes by the name Sandra…” The presenter growled in his gravelled tone and, while I’m no Einstein, how many Sandra’s could there be who stayed up beyond Coronation Street?

“Sandra is feeling so upset this evening and she really wants to get a message to that someone special….”

The imaginary alarm system in my brain has just switched from green to amber alert.

18

Please mention “The Arrow” when responding to advertisements

“That special someone is Peter (pause) Peter is the captain of the University football team...”

OK, so now I am grabbing for the red bulb.

“Peter, Sandra just wants to tell you that she misses you so much and that you made her feel so special that night (pause) Peter, Sandra thinks you could be the one (pause) the one that she has waited so long for (pause), and she wants to dedicate this to you…

The time between that last syllable and the first note felt like a week in Bognor.

“Please give me one more night, give me one more night. One more night, cos I can’t wait forever…”

As I sat there in a state of shock, serenaded by a balding drummer, all around me chaos ensued.

Sandra’s love note, gently warbled by Phil Collins, was the soundtrack to pandemonium in my house as my housemates scrambled out of their rooms and into mine. They pointed at me, then the radio, then me, then each other with grins wider than the Rovers Return’s bar. I heard nothing but Phil’s sultry voice as I walked to the window to peek outside for an escape route. But it seemed there were a lot of my neighbours also ironing or studying that night and my chagrin had brought them out into the streets as they headed over to join in the fun.

The next day I was a paranoid mess, people would point and stare and I cannot begin to tell you what went off when I visited the sports centre. My whole university life had changed before my very eyes. I was no longer ‘too cool for school’, I was a cat with no cream. Word got around that I was smitten and loved up with a girl called Sandra, who had features that would have flummoxed David Attenborough. Worst of all, I was now off the market in the eyes of Preston’s girlies.

I realised that action needed to be taken and taken quick. At the next training session I caught Sandra’s eye (not literally) and asked her if we could go somewhere private as there was something personal I needed to discuss. As we walked towards the pavilion she made the first move and grabbed my hand, proud of herself as she “knew Phil would do the trick”. I was thinking on my feet and blurted out that I had met someone else, someone who meant a lot to me. I threw in that it was me and not her, I even scraped the barrel stating she was in fact too good for me. To be fair, I threw in anything I could think of. Eventually, after what seemed like a Phil Collins 12-inch, she got the message and ran out of the pavilion in tears. That was the last I ever saw of poor Sandra. I later heard that she had switched Universities and moved to Manchester but I have often wondered what ever happened to Sandra – although usually at the opening bars of Sussudio or In The Air Tonight.

That Cadbury’s gorilla advert was a particular nightmare.

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, my frank confession of heartbreak. I am not the person that some of you think and I have been guilty of bad things. Hopefully, the fact that I remain single and have as much luck with the ladies as Britain does at Eurovision means my punishment for being such a bad young man has been all-but served. Maybe there’s even another Sandra out there waiting for me, although I hope she’s a bit prettier.

NORTH EAST DONCASTER CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU PAYDAY LENDERS FAILING TO CHECK IF PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO REPAY New figures show 65% of payday loans don’t come with financial checks.

Payday lenders are damming people to debt by failing to carry out checks to make sure borrowers can afford to repay the loan, says North East Doncaster Citizens Advice Bureau. New figures from the national Citizens Advice payday loan tracker found 65% of people did not get asked about their financial situation – leading to 7 in 10 not being able to pay back the loan. Yet this goes against pledges the payday loan industry made in its customer charter launched on 26 November 2012. North East Doncaster Citizens Advice Bureau is monitoring to see if the industry is sticking to the charter through its payday loan tracker. The new figures are from an analysis of the first four months of national findings based on feedback from customers who took out 1,270 payday loans from over 87 different payday lenders between 26 November and 31 March. Data was gathered through an online survey, questionnaires in bureau and face to face surveys on the high street.

The figures also found that customers who weren’t asked affordability questions and had repayment problems were further let down by lenders as: 6 in 7 did not offer to freeze interest and charges when the borrower agreed repayments; 71% did not explain how much it will cost to extend the loan; 84% did not treat people sympathetically.

During the same time period over 11,000 people sought online help from Citizens Advice about payday loans.

In the last four years Citizens Advice Bureaux have seen a ten-fold increase in payday loans.

Karen Bothamley manager of North East Doncaster] Citizens Advice Bureau said: “Day in day out we see people battling with payday loan debts. Many have been able to take out a loan despite it being quite clear from their finances that they’ll struggle to pay it back. It’s very disappointing that payday lenders are not asking borrowers about their financial situation to see if they are able to repay the loan especially given they have vowed to do so.

“Payday lenders need to take their pledge to treat people fairly seriously by and making sure they check the loan is affordable and help those who struggle to pay back the loan.”

Evidence from the national payday loan tracker exposes how payday lenders dammed their customers to debt and hounded them for money : Never ending debt: despite repaying £57 a month on a £500 loan for six months, the debt still stands at £437.

Hounded: customer pestered at work and even received phone messages on Christmas Day demanding payment, despite the customer saying they couldn’t pay, were in financial difficulties and had gone to a debt management company.

Now payday loan dependent: a year after taking out a payday loan the borrower is now dependent on them as paying back the loan severely reduces their wage meaning they need to take out another to get by.

Raid on bank account: even though a repayment plan was agreed and a request to cancel the continuous payment authority was made (which takes money automatically from your bank) the borrower’s bank account is still raided on a daily basis.

Trapped into rollovers: difficulties in paying back the loan in one lump sum leaves little choice but to re-borrow or rollover to the next month, increasing this customers total of payday loans to four.

Citizens Advice has used its extensive evidence to expose the practices of payday lenders and take action against the industry: In February Citizens Advice reported four payday lenders to the OFT and called for them to be immediately banned from trading.

Citizens Advice is carrying out a year-long study which monitors the performance of the payday loan industry against its self-regulating charter.

Last August Citizens Advice provided evidence on the payday loan industry to the OFT’s investigation which saw lender MCO Capital Limited stop trading in March 2013.

Citizens Advice is running the payday loan tracker survey until the end of November 2013. Payday loan customers can provide their feedback online at http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/dialogue_payday_loan_survey For more information contact: North East Doncaster CAB - Thorne Bureau Monday 10:00 - 14:00 and Wednesday 10:00 – 12:00 Stainforth Bureau Tuesday 10:00 – 14:00 Or call 0844 4994137

Phoenix Notes

Hello everyone. Although it’s still the middle of Summer, I would like to update you on our next production which will be “Sleeping Beauty”. This a pantomime based on the traditional story but with variations. It is packed with humour, some slapstick fun, songs to sing along to, many opportunities for you to participate and only a very small compulsory bit of romance.

We have many familiar faces but also several new members who have joined us and enabled us to make a feature of our chorus numbers. We also have new backstage and technical crew members who we are very pleased to welcome . They are happily working alongside Ray our Stage Manager, Janet, our props mistress, Sheila who makes many of our costumes, assisted by Linda and Sheila’s husband Karl who sources and makes lots of extras for costumes and props. Kenny and Lee who make large props for us are still on board and it was they who devised and built the wonderful rising stage we used in “Calendar Girls”.Kev is already painting scenery for us. We have a new young sound technician, Ryan, who is trying to bring us old ones up to speed with sound equipment and effects.

The group is sad that Michael Jackson won’t be able to be our Musical Director this year but we are extremely lucky that one of our members, John Reeves, who usually prompts and helps make the scenery, is an accomplished musician. He has never played the keyboard in public before but is on a very fast learning curve. We really appreciate him taking this on and so far our music / dancing rehearsals are going well. After taking a leading part in “Calendar Girls” Tracey is doing the choreography for us and is dancing in the chorus. Colin is getting his front of house team together and is keeping all of us on our toes. He is also going to be selling tickets earlier than usual so get your orders in as he is convinced we will sell out .Tickets will be on sale from 1st October I haven’t mentioned the cast yet but I will be writing another update in October. All I can say is that I feel we have a very strong cast. After the success of “Calendar Girls” we wanted to get down to another show right away so we started rehearsals before our usual time. Some of the cast are frightened of “peaking too soon” others are glad to have longer to learn their lines!

It’s not easy producing / directing and coordinating such large numbers of people doing their various bits towards the show but it has very enjoyable moments and I feel very proud of everyone involved. It really is an excellent example of team work and I hope that you will all think it has been worth it when you come and cheer us on in December. There will be something to appeal to all ages so you don’t have to have a child with you to enjoy it.

The show is on Friday 27th Dec 7.15pm Sat 28th Dec 2pm and 7.15pm and Sun 29th Dec 2pm. At Hatfield Woodhouse Village Hall. The doors will open 1hr before the performance and we hope to have a licenced bar for you to enjoy.

Enjoy the rest of the Summer Sue Lane Producer/Director Woodhouse Phoenix( Theatre Group )

Doncaster Advanced Motorists A Sign Of The Times Dear readers, The DfT (Department for Transport) announced the intention to review traffic signs in a bid to reduce street clutter, congestion, and C02 emissions. The review; maintaining good traffic signing makes driving safer and less stressful. Too much “clutter” means motorists sometimes tend to ignore signs – but they are essential for smooth and safe driving.

Signage has become diverse and motorists are expected to remember far more signs than ever before. Motorists who years ago studied the Highway Code to pass their driving test rarely revisit the rules to refresh their memory on how to understand signage. It is highly unlikely that any motorist will know every sign – but motorists really need to know how the shape and colour of the sign effects what it is saying. Here are some reminders how to “decode” traffic signs and how to act on them.

Understanding the shapes.

The shape of the sign indicates if it is either compulsory or advisory. Round signs, such as speed limit signs, are giving orders, triangles are there to give a warning i.e. give way or roundabout ahead, rectangle signs give information i.e. directions.

Know your colours.

The colours used within a sign gives you further information. Red rings are regulatory signs and tell you what you must not do i.e. exceed 30mph, blue signs are used for information, except on motorways when they are used for directions, green rectangles are used to give directions on primary routes, brown rectangles indicate a tourist attraction.

Variable message signs. (VMS) VMS provide motorists with information and advice about emergencies, incidents and network management. Taking notice and acting on the information provided by the VMS motorists improves safety and minimises the impact of congestion.

Motorway exit signs.

Motorway junction signposts are usually positioned one mile and half-a-mile in advance to give prior warning to motorists and enable them to select a suitable lane position early.

Reminder signs appear 270, 180 and 90 meters before an exit.

Official signs provide the motorist with the information they need to be as safe as possible but sometimes unofficial signs can give you advanced warning of possible hazards ahead (PYOS, for example, may have emerging traffic). (Pick your own strawberries) If you are interested in further information regarding the courses that we offer you will be able to find this information by contacting.

Paul Tuke Secretary Doncaster Advanced Motorists.
