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. .

The deadline for the June issue is Wednesday 15th May. Enjoy the read!

MISTERTON NEWS

Misterton residents, Alan and Eunice Stockdale, have donated £550 to the local Five Villages First Responders. The couple recently celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary, and asked family and friends to give money instead of gifts, so they could donate it to the volunteer First Responder team.

Mr and Mrs Stockdale said: “We know of people that have been attended by the First Responders and wanted to donate the money to a worthwhile cause in the village. Therefore the First Responders was the perfect choice.”

First Responder coordinator Martyn Johnson said the team was overwhelmed by the donation, which will be used for future purchases of vital equipment to keep the scheme operational. More information about the Five Villages First Responders can be found at www.fvfr.co.uk or e-mail contact@fvfr.co.uk.

Misterton Library, has room for more ‘bookworms’! The book club is held on the first Tuesday of the month in the Library, from 7.008.30pm.

The group is for anyone interested in reading, willing to try different authors, or with a favourite author to recommend to other readers. Further information is available from the Library, or ring Ann on (01427) 810645.

A new local scheme gives the people of Misterton, the chance to learn vital skills that could help them save someone’s life.

The scheme, Heartstart Misterton, is urgently calling for members of the public to learn emergency life support (ELS) skills. Heartstart is a British Heart Foundation (BHF) initiative; it teaches members of the public what to do in a life threatening situation, so if a family member or a complete stranger suffers a life threatening illness or injury you will have the knowledge and confidence to know what to do.

ELS skills are easy to learn and can save lives and anyone can take part in the short course, which lasts around 2 hours and is free to attend. All those who attend receive a certificate of attendance from the British Heart Foundation.

If you are interested in taking part, contact Steve on 07876 213028 or e-mail steve.dm@btinternet.com.

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 henpecked 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.

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.

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” Axholme Payroll Services is a division of Axholme Corporate Services Ltd 49 Battle Green, Epworth DN9 1JT 01427-875962

HAXEY & WESTWOODSIDE HERITAGE SOCIETY Three new members were warmly welcomed to the Society at the April meeting by chairman Mrs. Jackie Starr. Following a review of the Easter themed afternoon tea members were told of the forthcoming May meeting, when Toni Hunter would be presenting on the history of the Vulcan bomber.

This meeting will be an open meeting where members of the public will be entertained to a display of Vulcan memorabilia, a raffle of the best selling book Vulcan 607 and refreshments served.

XH558 is the Vulcan bomber maintained at Robin Hood airport and proceeds from the meeting will go to the ‘Vulcan to the Sky Trust’ which keeps XH558 flying.

Speaker for the evening was Society and Haxey Camera Club member Alan Rowsell who proceeded to enthral the audience with his presentation on The Ridgeway.

The Ridgeway is an ancient trackway described as Britains oldest road which runs for over 87 miles through ancient landscapes and over rolling open downland, for 14 days Alan travelled its length photographing magnificent views and recording numerous facts and features during his journey.

Alan had opened his presentation appropriately with music by a group known as ‘The Ridgeriders’ and along with other accompanying music created a most entrancing atmosphere.

Make a difference and volunteer as a Community First Responder As the Misterton based Five Villages First Responders team heads towards its ninth year of operation, organisers are looking for more local people who would like to make a difference and volunteer as a Community First Responder (CFR).

The volunteer scheme which operates in Misterton, West Stockwith, Beckingham, Walkeringham, Gringley on the Hill, Everton and surrounding areas has been running since April 2004 and has attended over 1,520 emergency calls in that time. The group of ten volunteers were called out to 130 incidents in 2012.

CFR’s are trained by the Ambulance Service in basic life-saving skills, (including use of an automated external defibrillator) and they volunteer their time to provide early and often vital intervention for patients experiencing life-threatening medical emergencies in the immediate vicinity of where they live whilst an ambulance is en route to the scene. In the case of cardiac arrest, for every minute that passes without cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation a patient's chances of survival decreases by up to 14%.

The responders give as little or as much time as they want to be ‘on call’ working on a rota basis and may be activated by the Ambulance Emergency Operations Centre should a suitable ‘999’ call happen near by.

CFR’s are called to help at medical emergencies including collapse and cardiac arrests, breathing problems and chest pains, as well as patients suffering from convulsions, strokes or severe allergic reactions.

Anyone who is interested in becoming a CFR is urged to get in touch as you will benefit from learning essential lifesaving skills and techniques while helping people in your local community.

If you are physically fit, (you need to be able to comfortably carry a medium sized response bag and perform CPR at the patients side until the ambulance arrives and is able to take over) aged 18 years or over, hold a full UK current driving license and have access to a car and can spare some time each month.

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.
