At the March meeting of the Haxey & Westwoodside Heritage Society Geoff. Starr updated members on the Society‘s Literary Award which was made to Year 6 pupils of both Haxey and Westwoodside Primary schools. The award had been created in 2003 to commemorate the Society‘s 20th. anniversary which this year comes to a conclusion. Following discussion with the two schools the Society has agreed a new annual award to recognise a specific achievement made by a pupil during their year six education, agreeing the proposed award teachers Rita Temperton and Shaun McKay expressed their appreciation of the Society‘s continued association with their Schools.

Taking bookings for the July Lichfield & Tutbury Castle visit Diana Hardy said that a few seats were still available if anyone wished to invite friends for an enjoyable day out.

Introducing the speaker for the evening, Archaeologist Mr. Eric Houlder, Jackie Starr said that she was intrigued by the title of the talk ‘Road from Doncaster to Castleford‘ this proved to be an insight into Roman road construction and his talk was peppered with amusing archaeological anecdotes.

Members learned that most school text books on Roman roads were mainly incorrect and Mr. Houlder explained how the roads had a four foot high centre camber with ditches to each side to maintain the integrity of the road. With the help of some excellent aerial slides, Eric showed that although these roads had apparently disappeared they could still be identified from the air as, although buried, these ditches retained water that promoted more vigorous plant growth along the road edges.

Giving a vote of thanks, Norma Williams ,said the audience had enjoyed receiving such a wealth of information.

The meeting then concluded with refreshments.

The Society‘s next meeting will be on Thursday 12th May when Sylvia Atkinson will talk on ― A most unexpected family history‖. Also for your diary Thursday 9th June, a talk by Revd. R. Plant, ―Roman Coins‖

Do you know where your Pension Fund is invested?

Last month we explained your options under the Open Market Option provision within your Pension Plan or Scheme, and the different types of income that are available, including those with Health, or Lifestyle issues such as smoking, drinking, and obesity.

This month we move on to the Pension Fund itself. We recommend to all our clients that as they near their selected retirement age (5 to 10 yrs before) they should re- assess their investment risk, to safeguard against market fluctuations, and thus restrict the possibility of a reduced fund just before retirement.

The average pension fund of clients using an Independent Financial Adviser at retirement today is £50,000, whilst the national average is £38,000, and most do not know where their money is invested.

Ask yourself the following questions

How much care would you take when deciding where to invest £38,000? Do you know the value of your pension and what fund/funds it is invested in? Do you know what the individual funds invest in, and what risk is involved? Do you know how much income, including State Pension you will receive?

If you cannot answer most of the above you are not alone most people do not understand their pension plan let alone what it will provide or how.

That is where we come in Peter Green Life & Pensions Ltd are Independent Financial Adviser’s, and as such have our clients best interests at heart, and not those of the Product Provider. We will cut out the jargon and present your pension to you in plain English so that you are able to make the right informed choice with your retirement plans as you near retirement.

One size does not fit all, so why not have your plans tailored to your specific needs. As you near retirement, this becomes even more important, in order to help preserve the value of your hard earned Pension Fund.

Remember your first appointment with us is at our cost, for you to make your own mind up regarding using our services, and we assure you the only decision you will have to make on the day is the choice of Tea or Coffee.

For Investment planning our recommendations are based upon the Whole of Market

Pc Mick Tune, the Youth Diversion Co-ordinator said, ―The On Target ethos is for young people to meet and take part in positive activity of their choosing in a relaxed, but structured environment. The addition of Scunthorpe United as lead deliverers of the football has enabled youngsters to provide incentives to the young people in the different areas. The big plus for the police is that the Neighbourhood Staff in localities can engage with the young people in an environment that assists us in building relationships‖ 10positive Please mention “The Arrow” when responding to advertisements

Best Kept Village Competition 2011 Haxey Parish Council has entered the villages into this year‘s Best Kept Village competition. Judging, at the end of June and August will take account of a range of issues, including the absence of litter and vandalism, tidiness, maintenance of public buildings, street furniture and hedges and verges, as well as gardens and community planting. The aim is to reward those who show the greatest community efforts.

There is also some additional prizes, subject to sponsorship, for the best kept churchyard, playground, community planting scheme and war memorial (which we won last year), with the possible addition this year of a prize for the best kept pub. So if you are responsible or involved in any of the above or could just pick up litter in your area please help out. The Parish Council are going to plant flowers around some of the village signs and other areas. So fingers crossed and good luck.

Cllr Wilf Lindley Cllr Wilf Lindley after nearly 62 years servicing on the Parish Council resigned at the March Parish Council Meeting. This photograph sees Cllr Lindley receiving his gift and certificate for 60 years service on the Parish Council, from Cllr John Smedley – Chairman, prior to the Council meeting held in September 2009.

The Parish Council wish him all the best and thank him for his services and his vast knowledge of the parish will be missed.

Haxey Library North Lincolnshire Council have informed the Parish Council that they have decided that Haxey Library will be run by volunteers in the future instead of by a NLC librarian. The exact date of the change is yet to be announced. The volunteers will be managed by NLC and NLC will continue to supply books and provide all associated services as now. The Parish Council had resolved to try and retain the services of the present librarian and continued to oppose this change. However despite having several meetings with NLC at which alternative cost saving measures were suggested, NLC have finally decided to go down the volunteer – run idea.

Hood Field Meetings and correspondence have continued throughout the last month with the owner of the Hood Field and NLC Planning Department. Although the majority of the parishioners oppose the development of a quad bike track on the field, NLC seem to have limited powers to stop this, so long as it is used not more than 28 days per year, used by family members only and the noise is within specified limits. Local residents have submitted a Petition to NLC and the Parish Council have requested the Planning Officers to consider further aspects of the issue. The field is an important historic and greenfield site between Haxey and Westwoodside and the Parish Council will continue to press for its return to agricultural use.

Axholme Camera Club members have been kept busy with competitions recently, and the Creative Competition gave them the opportunity to do something different. Judge Ken Furmage ARPS, AFIAP, of Gilberdyke, had a difficult job, eventually selecting his top ten prints in the Colour Section. Ken was looking for creative manipulation which enhanced the photograph, or a creative approach in producing the image. In the end, he gave three prints 20 marks each.

Awarded 20 in the Colour Section were Matthew Walton, in his first competition with the Club, with ' Coloured Wheels', Lynda Ulyett 'Sundial ' and also Owen Wressell@ man in the Mirror ', with 19 going to Geoff Trinder for 'Fire Eater' and 18 to David Ulyett,'s 'London Scene'.

In the Mono Section the choice was also a difficult one , although there were fewer entries, and from his shortlist Ken chose to give 20 marks to David Neale for London Scene by David Ulyett 18 marks 'Fallen Rose', 19 to Lynda Ulyett for 'In the Round' and 18 to David Neale for 'Melting Foxglove'.

A visit to Through The Lens ( TTL ) Camera Club in Doncaster for the annual 3-way competition with Axholme and Retford Clubs saw a close run competition won by TTL with Axholme and Retford only a few points behind. Top Scorer for Axholme with 19 points was Geoff Trinder with ' Green Winged Orchid'

Joseph Sidebottom wanted to raise money to try to stop people dying from cancer. He thought long and hard and realised he needed to make some sacrifice, therefore he had his much loved long hair cut short on Thursday 7th April!

He hopes to raise as much money as possible and will donate it to the Weston Park Cancer Hospital in Sheffield which is currently treating his Granddad.

Joseph‘s last count before going to print was £1150!

Thank you to Joseph‘s hair stylist, Jayne Williams, owner of Flair Hairstylists in Branton who had her salon took over by lots of excited children!!

If you would like to donate, please visit www.justgiving.com/josephsidebottom

The Isle of Axholme

Where You Live

Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

EPWORTH POST OFFICE Epworth Post Office is of architectural interest with its Dutch gable. The building was apparently built around Vermuyden’s time although no one is quite sure because the original deeds have been lost. It became the Post Office in 1953 after being used some previous years as a general store.

OWSTON FERRY DRAIN PUMPHOUSE The Gainsborough Steam Preservation Society renovated the pump-house and steam driven pumps at Owston Ferry, in the 1970’s although still owned by the Drainage Board. The pump-house and steam driven pumps were built in 1910. The steam boiler and engines were built by Marshshalls of Gainsborough and the pumps were built by Drysdale and Co Ltd. Of Glasgow. Fred Clayton did brickwork for the pump-house. The two pumps were each capable of lifting 80 tons 0r 20,000 gallons of water per minute. On a days pumping about two tons of coal each would be needed. The Owston Ferry Drain runs parallel to Snow Sewer as far as Westwoodside about four and a half miles. Before the pumping station was built water from the drain ran out by gravity regulated by a sluice. The steam driven pumps have been relieved by a diesel engine installed in 1964. There is still one steam driven pump in working order grandly polished and shining, showing the care taken by Mr Charlie Harrison, then the pump controller. The steam driven pump acts as a back-up pump; the deficiency of this pump is that, when the River Trent is high, the pump can only pump at about half capacity due to the Trent River Water being forced up the outfall pipe.

Make sure you see a copy....

―Out of Order‖, another fantastic, hilarious farcical comedy by Ray Cooney, performed by the Haxey Dramatic Society in April!

After seeing the performance last year, I thought they cant beat it! But yes without a doubt another extremely funny show, with outstanding performances by all members! This is a must on my yearly calendar; I have attended shows and concerts throughout the country and this takes some beating!

Make a note in your diary for next year, if you haven‘t seen the Haxey Dramatics perform, it is a must! Watching the production myself it is hard to imagine the hard work and dedication of the cast. Farce is probably the most difficult form of comedy and from beginning to end the cast work at great speed, as timing is essential!

The society welcomed back Nigel Smith after a break of some years and welcomed new comer John Brown who performed for the first time. Other cast members included John Spittlehouse, Joan Young, Colin Emery, Pat Ellison, Lynsey Yeardley, Andrew Lee, Sheila Morrey and Emma Speers.

Well done to everyone and I look forward to next years production. Carolyn

Haxey Church of England Primary School On March 3rd we celebrated world book day, and all the pupils came dressed as characters from their favourite books. The picture shows our foundation stage classes in their fancy dress.

This term we said goodbye to two long serving members of staff Mrs Mantell a Teaching Assistant and Mrs Pantry the School Cook. We would like to take this opportunity to wish them both a long and happy retirement. They will be missed by both the children and staff.

On the day we have to send our report into the Arrow we are holding our Easter Service. As part of the Celebration we are holding an egg decorating competition and Easter eggs will be awarded for the best two decorated eggs from each year group. Results will be announced in the next issue.

Wroot Travis School News Letter Our KS2 children have spent Monday afternoons for the last 7 weeks at Study United in Scunthorpe. We have studied Maths, Science and IT and were invited to a football match. Next week our parents are invited to come and have a look at the work we‘ve been doing. A big thankyou to the staff at Study United who have made the course such fun.

Well done to Frances, Samantha and Casey who have all passed their brass instrument exams, Casey with a merit.

A group of people in our village organised a fund raising party and disco for Comic Relief. As our newly refurbished village hall was all set up for the adults party they said we might like to have a children‘s party after school. It was great fun, we had tea, played games and discoed with Paul Jones JD. Between the school and the adult party later Wroot raised almost £1,500 for Comic Relief.

Our Key Stage 1 children had a lovely day out at Sandtoft. They visited the airfield in the morning, sat in a little plane and even got to handle the controls. They had a tour of the hangers and learnt a lot about aircraft. Later they went further into Belton and visited the miniature railway. They had a picnic lunch, a ride on a train and a look round the workshops to see how the trains are constructed. A great day out.

We took part in a cross country run at South Axholme School and the Wake and Shake festival at Westwoodside School.

Just before the holiday we decorated hard boiled eggs and then took part in the Great Easter Egg hunt. Here are some of our happy winners. We made sure all the children got a chocolate egg to take home.

We are closing for the Easter holidays today and hoping for some good weather.

Sometimes we feel we need someone with us to give us confidence – like when we are afraid or worried. That might be particularly true, for example, if we are going into hospital for an operation, or if we are doing something for the first time and we are worried about making a fool of ourselves.

Some of us may well remember our first day at a new school, when I expect most of us will have held on to one of our parents for dear life! Why? Because having someone with us on those sorts of occasions gives us confidence, and helps us to feel less anxious or frightened.

Christians believe that God does not always protect people from every bad event or every danger. But as a Christian I do believe that God is always with us in those situations. As the Bible puts it, ‘nothing can separate or come between us and God’s love for us in Jesus Christ our Lord.’ Whatever happens, God still loves us, and nothing can change that.

It‘s a wonderful promise to remember in all the good and not so good times in our lives.

TRENTSIDE CONFEDERATION SCHOOL NEWS (ST MARTIN’S AND WEST BUTTERWICK C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOLS) The week beginning 7th March saw both schools in our Confederation embarking on an RE Focus week exploring the theme of ‗How Do We Talk to God?‘.

The church links and Church School status of both St Martin‘s and West Butterwick plays a very important role in the provision of education for all of our pupils and the values of our schools.

West Butterwick school is particularly proud of the ‗outstanding‘ status it was awarded in the Statutory Inspection for Anglican Schools in January 2011 – a great achievement in the year that celebrates 200 years since Church Schools were first established!

As part of our shared RE Focus Week, we organised a theatrical performance from a visiting theatre company based on a number of Bible Stories. An ‗Interactive Theatre Day‘ also featured, designed to build teamwork, self-confidence and communication skills using stories from the Bible, encouraging pupils to develop their own ideas, share opinions and make group decisions.

Reception to Year 6 from both schools watched the performance based on the stories of Daniel, Gideon and Simon Peter on the Thursday afternoon - 10th March.

Year 6 pupils at both schools participated in an interactive theatre day on Friday 11 th March. They experienced an ‗action-packed day of drama workshops exploring themes within the Citizenship, PSHE and RE Curricula‘ linked to the story of ‗David and Goliath‘.

We had lots of visitors to our school that week, not just to watch the dramatic performances but to share in the richness of RE and Collective-worship related activities : Bishop‘s Visitors, members of the Parochial Parish Councils, Diocesan Representatives, Foundation Governors, Clergy as well as a number of Parents and Carers.

Other activities included pancake making linked Theatre visit by both schools to ‗Shrove Tuesday‘ (the last day before Lent), a special worship linked to Ash Wednesday, Circle Time and opportunities for the pupils to lead the worship and prayer. The pupil-led worship at St Martin‘s told the story of Samuel and his mother Hannah. The children who led this worship had lunch with the Deputy Diocesan Director of Education, Paul Thompson and enjoyed telling him all about their group‘s ideas for future worship too.

All in all, our RE Focus Week was exciting, stimulating and memorable! Take a look at our website to find out more.....

Fundraising for Japan Both schools in our Confederation have been enthusiastically involved in a fundraising project for the benefit of the people affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

The School Councils, made up of pupils aged 5 to 11, of both schools wanted to do something as quickly as possible in response to the dreadful situation that we were all waking up to on the morning of Friday 11th March. The Councils met that same day and put a letter together to encourage everyone to bring in small change on Friday 18th March.

Their idea was to cover the map of Japan with coins - detailing the islands with the words 'Help Japan' alongside (also to be covered in coins).

This has been very successful and gave the children an increased awareness of the geography of Japan and a more meaningful connection with the country it was raising money for.

The generosity of giving was more than we anticipated and notes (paper money!) were sent in to cover the map as well as coins ranging from 1p to ÂŁ2. Our dinner ladies brought in money, Governors brought money in, the children of our Teaching Assistants who attend other schools even sent money in!

We haven't got a final total yet, but the project was further strengthened by the fact that BOTH schools in our Confederation chose this project to share - each making a small contribution that, added with those of other schools, can make a BIG difference when united in a common cause.

The monies raised are going to the Red Cross after we researched the most effective use, in our schools' opinions, of the monies raised in solidarity at both schools of the Trentside Confederation (www.trentsideconfederation.com), following the sharing of the following information with the children, parents and staff that we found via the Red Cross Japan website :I would like to thank everyone linked with St Martin‘s and West Butterwick Primary Schools for their wonderful enthusiasm and generosity

Doncaster Advanced Motorist Braking Dear readers, If you‘ve ever been in a nodding dog passenger in a car and got out feeling a bit queasy you‘ll know the effects of ill-timed braking. Achieving a smooth, progressive and effective braking technique will make every drive safer and more pleasurable for everyone involved.

Braking progressively and smoothly you must develop superb observation and anticipation skills, as this allows you to begin braking earlier should any unexpected hazards arise. Effective braking is a skill that requires practice. You should roll the pressure onto the brake pedal progressively; do most of the braking in the middle phase; roll off the brake; again then select the best gear to make good progress. This method always produces the smoothest drive.

Practice this technique by attempting to produce such a smooth drive that your passengers don‘t even realise you are braking; decelerating gradually so that the nose of the car never dips. Well-timed braking will usually make you faster from A to B. Take timing your arrival at a roundabout for example. Look well ahead and asses the traffic on the roundabout, then time your arrival so that you don‘t have to stop. The cars that sped past you as you were decelerating early, will be at a standstill trying to find first gear as you slide past and get straight back on the accelerator.

Keep every drive as simple as possible by not overlapping braking steering and gear inputs.

Brake in a straight line.

Even with modern anti-lock brake systems (ABS), it is always best to carry out any firm braking in a straight line before making any steering changes. Any racing driver will tell you that using your brakes in the middle of a bend can upset the balance of the car and affect its handling.

If a situation arises that requires mid-corner braking, do so progressively to avoid locking the wheels. Vary the brake pressure accordingly to the road surface and conditions.

If you are interested in the courses that we offer, you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel: 01302 886 276 Safe Driving Paul Tuke.
