Hatfield Woodhouse Village Plan It’s getting exciting .The questionnaire is almost ready for distribution. Members of the Hatfield Woodhouse Village Plan committee are finalising arrangements to deliver the Questionnaire over the weekend of September 13th/14th. You will have two weeks to complete it and then we'll collect your copy on 27th/28th September. That will give you plenty of time to think of anything you want to add. After that we will start collating information to find out just what is important to people in the area and how we can help to fulfil these aspirations. Please support this venture by completing your questionnaire when it arrives.

Thank you from the Hatfield Woodhouse Village Plan Committee

A Credit To The Village Driving along Brabbs avenue I was amazed to see what the Pensioners living in the Bungalows have achieved regarding their front gardens and in particular their hanging baskets.

I am aware that since Maureen and Doug Clark ( Pictured ) moved into the area that they have been responsible for such an injection of enthusiasm among the residents and undoubtedly their contribution to Hatfield has been recognized by the Town council.

I simply had to stop and take a few photographs which I thought would be nice to share with the Arrow readers. Well done Maureen and Doug along with your neighbours, You are a credit to the Village.

Gordon Harper.

HATFIELD WOODHOUSE AMATEUR GARDENING SOCIETY August is the mid summer break as far as meetings are concerned with the Society, and as I wrote this piece early in the month, we were looking to our annual trip out, which this year will have been to Sheffield Botanical Gardens.

Sheffield Botanical Gardens cover 19 acres, and the site has fifteen different garden areas featuring collections of plants from all over the world, including Mediterranean, Asian, American prairie-style, woodland and rock-andwater plantings. The National Collections of Weigela, Diervilla (Bush Honeysuckle), and Sarcococca(Christmas Box) are sited here.

The new season starts on Tuesday September 2, at Hatfield Woodhouse Working Men’s Club starting at 7-30pm.

At the end of that week we have our Autumn Show on Saturday 6 September, again in the Working Men’s Club. The Show will be open to the public from 2pm on Saturday afternoon.

Prize giving will be at approximately 3pm, which will be followed by the auction of unclaimed exhibits. Over the past few Shows, the judges have commented on the high standard of the entries, and we hope that this will continue this year to give us another fine Show. We look forward to seeing our old friends, and new ones as well on the first Saturday in September.

The price of employment rights 29 July 2014 A year ago, fees of up to £1,200 were introduced to access the Employment Tribunal. Since then, the number of claims brought have plummeted by 73 per cent. An example of fees working to prevent weak cases from clogging up tribunals? Or a massive barrier to people being able to enforce their employment rights?

In June and July, Citizens Advice nationally collated detail of a snapshot of employment cases brought to Citizens Advice Bureaux across the UK since fees were introduced. We asked employment advisers to provide information on any case where there was a potential cause of action in the Employment Tribunal.

We also asked them to assess, where possible, the strength of the claim; the likelihood of the client pursuing the claim, and the reasons for their assessment.

We received details of 182 cases, only 9 per cent of which were assessed by experienced advisers as weak or vexatious. In fact: 4 out of 5 cases were rated as having a 50/50 or higher chance of success over half were rated as having a good or very good chance of success However, advisers considered it likely or definite that the client would proceed to tribunal in less than a third of these cases.

Fees are certainly not the only reason why people are put off from pursuing cases. The complexity and stress involved, the fear of losing a job, the risk of an award not being paid even if successful, time limits and the desire to keep trying to negotiate were all mentioned by advisers as reasons why they thought it unlikely their clients would not pursue a claim. But fees, or the costs involved relative to the value of the claim, were by far the most commonly given reasons – cited in over half of the claims which advisers assessed as being unlikely to be taken forward.

The high level at which fees are set is a particular problem in low value claims, which typically involve withholding of wages or holiday pay.

Jack worked 40 hours a week for over two months as a kitchen porter. When he left he did not receive holiday pay of around £300. A bureau adviser helped Jack to write a letter requesting this but his former employer did not respond. As his wife works, the bureau advised that he would be unlikely to qualify for remission of employment tribunal fees. When he was told the fees were £390, Jack decided it was just not cost effective to bring a claim for £300, particularly given the risks of whether he would recover any money.

Where are people in Jack’s situation supposed to turn to enforce their employment rights? And it is not just fees that are making it more and more unlikely. Loss of legal aid for employment issues; cuts to the Equality and Human Rights Commission funding for discrimination casework; low levels of enforcement of awards in cases that are successful at tribunal – all are playing their part in barring the way to accessing employment rights.

Government is working hard to get people into employment, but for this to be a genuine route to a decent standard of living, that employment must be fairly paid, sustainable and undertaken without fear of discrimination. This is what employment rights and protections are for. The rights and protections have not changed substantially over the last year but our ability to enforce them most certainly has. If you are affected by any of the above matters please contact:

Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School It is a quiet school building I walked into this morning, without the hustle and bustle of the children and staff. Instead just the smell of paint as the classrooms are smartened up and the roar of Mr Brown’s JCB as he helps Mr Needham demolish the old mobile classroom which used to be our breakfast club. A very big thankyou to you both!

I am immensely proud my school, especially the children’s SATS results again this year. Year 6 have maintained the high standards set by last year’s cohort. Results in Year 2, Year 1 and Foundation Stage are also showing improvements on last year’s results – in fact, there are improvements in every year we have formal national testing. It is credit to the hard work of not only the children, but also the school staff.

We celebrated in style with a delightful graduation service for the Year 6 children – outdoors, this year. Thanks to the lovely weather. The children delighted the whole school with their singing and the Valediction speech, read out by Coel but contributed to by all the children. Special mention must go to Mathew for his high attainment - Level 6 Writing and Maths with Level 5 Reading is some achievement!

The 4 winners of the Cyril Brown Award also need highlighting. Ted, Duckling, Sophie and Coel were chosen by the whole school staff for their progress, special skill in performance and exemplary behaviour throughout their time at school.

Another highlight of the end of the school year is the annual Year 6 leaving guard of honour, which unfortunately I missed this year. I was pleased to be able to share the event on our Twitter feed though. (http://www.twitter.com/HwpsInfo) The children from all the other classes make a tunnel of clapping, pats on the back and cheering which the Year 6 children walk down at the end of their final school day at Hatfield Woodhouse towards their waiting parents. It is a very emotional experience. Thanks to Mr Ross for introducing both the outdoor graduation and the leaver’s parade to our school traditions.

At the younger side of school, Foundation Stage also introduced their own new graduation assembly. The children came in their best clothes for a short assembly to be presented with their certificate of completion of nursery then joined their parents for a picnic in the FS playground. We had an official photographer who took some delightful photos of the children in a little cap and gown.

As we move towards a new school term I am looking forwards to observing more lessons as the children never cease to amaze me with their enthusiasm and progress. The new primary curriculum offers lots of opportunities for learning about everything from grammar to computer coding and I know our children are looking forwards to seeing how our new ipads can be used as tools for learning.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and please contact school with comments or concerns. We will help if we can. Kind regards, Helen Acton – principal Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School, Main Street, Hatfield Woodhouse, DN7 6NH Tel: 01302 840448

Thorne Camera Club Summer Activities How do I set my camera? What shutter speed should I use?

Do I need a tripod? and many other questions are asked and answered on Club summer outings. This is where members get to use their cameras out of doors, with more experienced members there for helpful advice. Not only that, they visit some unusual and interesting places, taking photographs, honing skills learnt in the Club and having a good old chat.

Thornton Abbey Gatehouse, Humber banks, Lakeside Doncaster and the Delves in Thorne have all been visited this summer, resulting in some excellent images, as well as the birds and reptiles photographed indoors. These are excellent learning opportunities for camera handling skills.

Some members also got to grips with the computer side of photography on a specially arranged course for members. For a modest fee, twelve hours of tuition was offered which was a great help in this digital age, another such course is planned for members in the near future.

The Autumn programme begins September 12th, but it's not too late to join an outing. Phone, text 07463821182 or email David, thornecameraclub@yahoo.co.uk

Thorne Camera Club's Sizzling Success at the Summer Fair Summer fĂŞtes may be typically English events, but this year's Thorne Summer Fair felt more like a Mediterranean festival, as the marquees shimmered in the July heat.

Whilst the temperature soared, the smell of hot dogs and fairground music filled the air, Thorne Camera Club's members swung into action.

The public were enticed into the marquee by a game of chance organised by John (every- card- a- winner!) Chapman, and the tempting array of prizes, or challenged by Frances, to name the mysterious lady and win her framed photo-portrait,

by Elaine Snowden, then many lingered to enjoy the exhibition of members' photos.

Membership has grown phenomenally this last year, and the stunning quality and quantity of photos being exhibited impressed viewers. Subjects were wide ranging; portraits, landscapes, macro studies ( plants and insects), architectural photos, animals, sporting action shots - you name it, it was probably there .

A number of club members were on hand to chat about photography, Photo-Shop techniques, cameras, lenses and subjects, and to reassure those who love taking photos, but only have a little digital camera, or a phone, that it's no barrier to taking fantastic photos, or to coming along to Thorne Methodist Church at 7. 30 on a Friday night ( first visit free, find out what a friendly lot they are! ), and see whether it's for you. By Sunday evening, as a tired but happy group packed away their photos, and John furled up the marquee, the Camera Club had acquired several new members.

Travis Year 6 Memories Well, we can’t believe that today is our last day at Travis St Lawrence CE Primary School. This year has zoomed by and we are all wondering where the time has gone, this week in particular.

This week we have enjoyed our Year 6 treat day, our Year 6 disco (with a cool photo-booth), the year 6 leavers service and then our last day where we are currently walking around getting our friends to sign our shirts and books. In the middle of this we have asked the Year 6s to recall their favourite parts of Travis to conclude our report.

Some children remembered about the different concerts we have performed: Amy recalls the year 3 concert “King Midas” which was her first concert at Travis; where as Amy recalls playing Grumble the Bumblebee in the lower site school concert. Daniel remembers the leavers service especially the singing together and sharing memories. Amelia said that she loved the Young Voices because the singing was amazing.

Some recalled the different residentials and trips they have taken part in: Jack, Thomas, Kieran, Katie and Helena said that Kingswood was memorable because the activities were enjoyable especially the Leap of Faith and it was a chance to get to know their friends better.

“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Oliver and Atin remembers how he enjoyed the Year 4 residential especially who they shared his dorm with and how it was fun to stay away from parents.

Sophie remembers the Year 3 trip to Austerfield especially sharing the tents with Sabaa. Charlotte remembers the school trip to Filey in Year 2 because it was fun playing on the beach with friends.

Natasha remembers coming to Travis because she met lots of new friends, the type of friends who stick up for you.

For some children they remembered a particular event which happened at Travis: Kyle enjoyed learning about the World War 2 work because he finds history interesting. Eva remembers how everybody played together in the Nursery ship. Calum and Anya shared how they competed with the Ash Hill Athletics as it helped them to believe in his future ambitions. Danielle remembers the power cut in reception when people began to panic but the teacher was calming everyone down.

However, all the children talked about how their time at school has given them friends they will keep forever: Emily, Mya, Tom and Josh recalls all the friends who are important to them because they stick by you.

We wish all the Year 6s luck for their future and hope they keep in touch.

ASDA - 'CHOSEN BY YOU - GIVEN BY US' I saw an advert asking for nominations from local charities to be entered into ASDA, Stainforth's 'Chosen by You - Given by Us Scheme' so I nominated Dunsville Community Centre, The Friends of Hatfield Church Building Trust (FOHCBT) and the Barn Regeneration Project, Hatfield. My first two nominations were accepted and entered into the May/June draw. The idea is that the charity bin with the most tokens posted by shoppers would receive £100 and the other 2, £25 each from the ASDA Foundation.

During May and June the majority of shoppers selected Dunsville Community Centre as their favourite so many thanks to them and to those who also chose 'The Friends'. When it came to the cheque presentation, Ron, ASDA's Community Life Champion, apologised that the winning cheque wasn't £100 I was a bit disappointed but when he followed up with "it's £200" my disappointment quickly disappeared. Then when he followed that by "and the cheque for the FOHCBT isn't £25, it's £50", well you couldn't wipe the smile from my face! It was the first month that the charity donations had been doubled.

So I'd like to say a huge thank you to ASDA at Stainforth and it's shoppers for their votes and to the stores Community Life Champion, Ron, for arranging the voting.

The FOHCBT also took the opportunity to use a fundraising table at ASDA, Stainforth on Fri 18th July to

sell their donated 'Pre-Loved Jewellery' and sold a magnificent £108 worth so thanks again to ASDA for their community support and to the customers who purchased jewellery, it's much appreciated. All funds received will be put to good use. ***ASDA'S 'CHOSEN BY YOU...GIVEN BY US' scheme is run over a two month period six times per year. ASDA are keen to hear from other local community groups who may qualify for this wonderful opportunity to support a local good cause or organisation.*** Katrina (Tina) O'Halloran Photo 1 - Katrina O'Halloran and Deputy Manager, Kurt Farrow, ASDA, Stainforth Photo 2 - John Chaplin (FOHCBT Chairman), ASDA Mgr, Janet Hoffman, Deputy Manager Kurt Farrow & Katrina (Tina) O'Halloran

Doncaster Advanced Motorists Driving Test Facts.

Dear readers, The driving test’s been going for years. But here are a few facts: Mr Bean was the first person to pass the driving test in 1935… fact! But it’s not that Mr Bean, it was Mr J Beene who paid a grand total of 37p (7d / 6p in old money) to take the test.

There were no test centres in 1935 so you had to arrange to meet the examiner somewhere like a post office, train station or town hall. The test was suspended for the duration of World War Two and didn’t resume until 1 November 1946. The theory test was introduced in 1996, replacing questions about the Highway Code during the practical test.

Driving was much more hazardous 75 years ago, 7,343 people were killed on Britain’s roads when only 2.4 million vehicles were in operation - in 2008, 2,538 people were killed with 26.5 million vehicles on the road.

Candidates could book their theory test online for the first time in December 2001. The pass rate in 1935 was 63 per cent compared to 46 per cent in 2009. 1969 saw the first driving test set for an automatic vehicle. Since 1935 more than 46 million tests have been taken.

In 1935, when Leslie Hore-Belisha, became the new Transport Minister, he introduced the driving test – first in March as a voluntary test and then it became compulsory in June. During the 1930s safety glass was made compulsory for windscreens after terrible injuries had been caused by accidents in cars with ordinary glass. Seat belts did not appear until the 1950s but were not made compulsory in front seats until 1983.

Arm signals out of the window were withdrawn from the test in 1975 and more modern additions to the test have included a theory test in 1996, the hazard perception section of the theory test in 2002 and questions about vehicle safety and maintenance.

Changes to the test and other safety initiatives, such as improvements to vehicles, have resulted in a reduction in road deaths in Great Britain, Which now has some of the best road safety records in the world.

In 2008 there were 34 million cars on the road and 2,538 people were killed in road accidents – DSA is still passionately working towards further improvements in road safety.

When announcing the introduction of the driving test, Leslie Hore-Belisha said, “Driving is an art in which those who are engaged should, in the interest of their own and of the public’s safety; take the greatest pains to make them proficient.”

Decades later this still holds true and is summed up in the DSA’s maxim, Safe Driving for all.

Safe Driving, Paul Tuke, Doncaster Advanced Motorists.

Hatfield Community Library

Hatfield Community Library opened on July 28th with the help our wonderful but very nervous volunteers and Nicola from the library service to advise us. I would like to thank the 170 members of the public, who came into the library that day, for their patience and understanding as we tried to put the training into practice. Never have the words ‘Stay Calm and Carry On’ been more apt than in the first week. Final thanks are to Debbie who patiently tried to equip us raw recruits with all the knowledge we needed in a short space of time.

Not once did she heave a sigh of exasperation when some-one asked the same question for the umpteenth time.

In the week before the library closed, there were a few emotional scenes when many people came in to thank Jenny, Carol, Michelle and Lorna for their work and to say goodbye. They have left us a wonderful legacy and the volunteers hope we can show our appreciation by continuing their good work and we hope that the people of Hatfield will show their appreciation by continuing to use the library.

Jenny will be here for a few more weeks to help us. We are very grateful for her experience, advice and patience as she has dealt with our cries for help and computer glitches. She will continue to be a member of the committee which shows her commitment to the library’s success. Jenny, Carol, Michelle and Lorna would like to thank everyone for their good wishes and presents.

If anyone still wishes to volunteer to work on the desk or in other ways please call in or ring us at the library. We only have eleven volunteers to on the desk and need more to provide a full service.
