WEST BUTTERWICK FIELD DAY 2012-Field Day was held on Saturday
18th August and we were lucky enough to have another fine day. Graham Scorthorne opened the event, he is Arnold Ellis’ nephew and he also officially opened our new ‘Arnold Ellis Marquee’, which can seat up to 60 people and was the venue on the day for ‘Puppet Power’ from Grimsby. Puppet Power proved to be a very enjoyable attraction. Other attractions such as All Stars Taekwondo and the Ealand Academy of Performing Arts and Dance were equally popular. Other favourites include the Titanic slide and the licensed bar and BBQ which were all kept busy. The raffle proved as popular as ever and the 1st prizewinner of the £100 was highly delighted. To date £2000 has been raised from the event – our best year ever. The money is used to pay the hall insurance and to ensure we can keep our hire charges low. We are still the most reasonably priced hall in the area – thanks to Field Day.
6
Grateful thanks also go to all our sponsors and all who supported us on the day. We hope to have another Field Day in 2013 – a date has been set – Saturday 17th August BUT the village hall committee desperately need new members to keep the hall ‘up to scratch’ and also to help put on another Field Day. ARE YOU ABLE TO OFFER HELP? IF SO PLEASE CONTACT Jeff Ash on 01724 783125

Isle of Axholme – South Ward Priorities** for full details please go to the Humberside Police web page** Farmland off the B1396 WestwoodsideTheft, Criminal Damage, Anti-social behaviour, off road bikes. Calls for service rose and centred around the B1396 including PC Constable 1169 PCSO 7574 Sue Fahy PC Constable 1839 Sally Roberts Tina Starbuck Pelfintax, Wroot Road, Idle Bank and Tindlebank and including private land owned by local farmers and others. Times of offences varied and included reports of theft including theft of cable, burglary, suspicious persons with dog(s), criminal damage and off road bikes. A considerable amount of work and liaison has been built between Neighbourhood staff and the owners and staff working on land to engage with them and to identify where offences and offenders are committing these acts and routes they use. UPDATE; Now we are entering the busy season for all farmers we anticipate calls for service to increase and would encourage anyone to contact the police at the time they see anything suspicious, however at this moment we are doing well and hope for this trend to continue unlike other parts of the county. Any ongoing matters or suspicious activity can be reported on the new Local police telephone number of 101 OR if an emergency please use 999, if any information is to be passed then please feel free to e-mail the Neighbourhood team using the details below;Tina.starbuck@humberside.pnn.police.uk – Police Constable Susan.fahy@humberside.pnn.police,uk PCSO Stewart.pearson@humberside.pnn.police.uk - PCSO Or you can ring Crimestoppers and give information anonymously on 0800 555 111. Westwoodside Park, Westwoodside. Information is being received that the young people who gather at this location are involving themselves in drinking alcohol and substance misuse. I would encourage anyone with any information regarding this to contact Humberside Police on 101 or the below named community policing staff. With the summer holidays from educational establishments and hopefully some fine summer weather youths congregating at this location should be reminded that any illegal activity will be dealt with but if they are behaving themselves then we would also like to engage with them in order to clarify with residents in Westwoodside that all is well. UPDATE; - We have been visiting the park on a regular basis and liaising with the local community and have been encouraged with the behaviour by most young people at the park. However there is quite a bit of drug paraphernalia being deposited which does cause concern. We will be conducting patrols and dealing with any identified issues concerning this so I would encourage those who choose to participate in this activity to be aware of the consequences.

Axholme Camera Club News The first meeting of the new season was on Wednesday the 5th September, the Chairman - Geoff Trinder opened proceedings with a very sad announcement. One of our long serving honorary members, Mr John Roberts passed away early morning of the 30th August 2012. A one minutes silence was held in order to remember John's contributions to Haxey community and the Camera Club. John had been fighting heart problems and had recently undergone two operations. He was a very active Methodist and would regularly conduct the services at the Methodist Church in Haxey, he was a very committed fund raiser and organised photographic slide shows throughout the year to assist in the funding of the church. In his working life John was an Engineer with the NCB with the responsibilities for the Coal Washing Plants in Yorkshire. It goes without saying that John will be sadly missed, our thoughts and best wishes are with his wife Betty, and his family at this most distressing time. The remainder of the evening was taken up with discussions on the planned programme and the development of our new web-site. The 2012-13 program has the usual competitions plus a very good selection of highly experienced photography speakers with confirmed dates through the year. The Club's Web-site organiser, Simon Knight spent sometime explaining the ins and outs of what he was trying to establish in order to offer the members a better and more friendly web site.
www.axholmecameraclub.co.uk
The evening concluded with the showing of a DVD of photographs from a highly successful American Natural History and Landscape Photographer, Thomas Mendalsen. Our program for October 3rd Oct - My Work as a Professional Photographer - by John Gardner this is an open evening and all are welcome. There will be a charge of £1.50 on the door. 9th Oct - Sailing a presentation by Allan Parker 17th Oct - Competition Night the Subject is Feet, and/or Footware.

Westwoodside Church of England School We are very proud to announce that, as from the beginning of September, we have been given permission by the Government to convert to an Academy. This means that we will no longer receive our funding through North Lincolnshire Local Authority but direct from Central Government. Why did the Governors decide to convert to an Academy? As a Local Authority School, our budget was ‘top sliced’ by North Lincolnshire i.e. they kept a percentage to fund their activities to support Schools. As an Academy, all our budget will come directly to us. Some of the percentage will be needed to continue to buy in a limited range of Local Authority services, but this should still leave us with some ‘extra’ funding each year, which the Governors will decide how to use to further benefit the children’s learning. What will change? The main change will be the benefits from the extra funding available. What will stay the same? The
name of the School will remain Westwoodside Church of England School. We remain part of the family of Church of England Schools in the Diocese. All the Governors are transferring to become Academy Governors. All Staff have transferred from Local Authority employees to Academy employees on the same pay and conditions. Our uniform stays the same. We see this as a very positive move and look forward to using Academy status to further develop the children’s learning. Roger Marshall Headteacher

TRENTSIDE FEDERATION SCHOOL NEWS Following our Summer Break we have returned refreshed for the new academic year. Three new teachers have joined our team at St Martin’s – Mrs Victoria Priestley (Years 5&6), Miss Sophie Brown (Years 3&4) and Mrs Christina Brinkley (Foundation Stage). At the end of the first week back both schools had enjoyed a very productive week. St Martin’s Class 4 (Years 5&6) is constructing a large scale steam train (to be known as the ‘Ferry Flyer’) linked to their literacy studies based around The Railway Children by E Nesbit and their historical research in connection with the life and times of Robert Stephenson. The study of Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldi by West Butterwick Infants fits in rather well with our forthcoming Harvest Festival. This Italian painter, born in 1527, was best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of fruit, vegetables, flowers, and fish. He arranged these objects on the canvas in such a way that they formed a recognisable likeness of the portrait’s subject – very clever!
winners of the Head Teacher's Awards
Staying with the Harvest theme, West Butterwick Infants are also going to be making seed shaker musical instruments, exploring the various materials that may be used to do this. Our rural heritage, here on the Isle of Axholme, will be a focus this Autumn in both classes at West Butterwick. Key Stage 1 pupils in Mrs Clipsham’s class will make a comparison of local farming with the farming methods that were used in Ancient Egypt. I think this will prove to be a very interesting project! Mr Cross’ Juniors in Class 2 are going to become incredibly knowledgeable about France this term, as their cross-curricular studies prominently feature this country. Over the coming weeks, Key Stage 2 will be taking a close look at French cuisine, noting similarities and differences with English food. They will consider the importance of food in France and its the Ferry Flyer train model in Class 4 relationships with the different regions. Geographically, pupils have already become familiar with the regions, creating a three dimensional map. This year, through our Harvest Festival Services, we will be raising money for the charity ‘Anthony Nolan’. Anthony Nolan is a charity dedicated to supporting childhood leukaemia sufferers in the UK, saving lives of people with blood cancer. This charity was founded almost 40 years ago by Shirley Nolan, in honour of her son. The charity finds incredible individuals willing to donate blood stem cells to save the lives of people with blood cancer. Since40 setting Please up this mention charity, 10,000 people have received that to have given them a chance of life. “The Arrow” whentransplants responding advertisements Leukaemia is the biggest childhood cancer in the UK.
Reception pupils holding up some rather splendid self-portraits!
We have a number of additional events planned in for this term’s learning, such as a Zulu Workshop, St Martin’s Service of Remembrance, Methodist Chapel Christmas Tree Festival, educational visits to Pink Pig Farm and the National Railway Museum in York as well as our end of term Christmas Services. Both schools in our Federation will continue to receive specialist music tuition. We look forward to hearing some of the wonderful trumpet and recorder playing in our church services and special assemblies! Pupils also continue to learn French from Infants right through to Year 6. They are doing very well in connection with this. Bon effort! Every Friday morning, St Martin’s school holds a special ‘Head Teacher Awards’ Assembly & Worship. We got off to a really great start with this, first week back, with awards, presented to Declan Foley, Abigail Platt, Joshua Dixon, Thea Hudson, Ethan Royston Lee and Natalie Trewick. Well done to all concerned! We look forward to a productive and interesting term! Mrs Josephine Buckle, Headteacher, St Martin’s and West Butterwick Church of England Primary Schools – the Trentside Federation

HAXEY AND WESTWOODSIDEN HERITAGE SOCIETY Thursday 13th. September saw the return of the Society’s speaker Mrs. Sylvia Atkinson to the first meeting after the summer holiday. Sylvia’s return was eagerly awaited by the society members as her previous talk had covered the exploits of her father at Pegasus Bridge during World War Two resulting in the award of the Military Medal and her fascinating discovery, revealed by her mother now in her seventies, of her unknown Indian family. Today’s talk entitled ‘Reunited’ now moved her story forward and informed members that despite much persuasion her mother resolutely refused to travel back to India and meet the now grown up family and therefore of her own eventual travel to India to meet her newly found relations. Delivered with many humorous anecdotes Sylvia described her arrival in Delhi to a rapturous family welcome, the sightseeing tours and the continual provision of mountains of food. Sylvia discovered that her new family were highly placed in Indian society having positions in the military, education and business supported by many photographs of family and events, all of this taking place in the late 1980s at a time of political unrest in the continent which further added to her experiences. Sylvia subsequently returned home and the relationship continued with much correspondence and eventually the visit of the family to the UK for a very happy reunion with Sylvia’s mother. Giving the vote of thanks Mr Geoff. Starr thanked Sylvia for such a fascinating and extremely interesting family history. Previously chairman Mrs Jackie Starr had welcomed members to the Society’s new year, reminded them of next months Annual General Meeting and of the surprise item which would follow on from the business. The meeting closed with refreshments served. The next meeting of the society is on Thursday 11th. October.

Driving at Night
Dear readers, The fundamental rule of Advanced Driving – you must be able to stop within the distance you can see to be clear - this applies equally when driving at night. Away from street lighting, your vision will be limited to the range of your headlights and this varies massively between dipped and full-beam. Therefore, it makes sense that you slow down when you’re driving on dipped headlights. If you find your speed creeping up, remind yourself how dangerous it would be if you suddenly came across, a tyre carcass, a pedestrian, a stray animal or even a pallet off an HGV in your headlight beam, could you STOP! If your headlights illuminate 40 meters ahead, you’ll have just 1.5 seconds to react and stop at 60mph! Realistically, you’ll still be travelling at 40mph when you hit the obstruction!! Drive on full beam whenever possible but always think about other road users. Dip your lights as late as you possibly can, ensuring that you do not dazzle anyone and remembering that, at night, your lights give other road users the earliest warning of your presence. Clean your lights regularly as road grime quickly reduces their effectiveness and the distance you can see ahead clearly. If an approaching car forgets to dip, glance immediately towards the side of the road to avoid being temporarily blinded. On dual carriageways at 70mph you cover 31 metres (about 7 car lengths) per second, so even if it takes only five seconds for your vision to clear fully you’ll have covered a distance equivalent to one and a half football pitches! Advanced drivers know that driving in the dark isn’t all danger and drawbacks. Empty night-time roads make journeys quicker and less stressful: car headlights give early warning of their presence and the skilled driver can even use other vehicles headlight beams to work out where the road goes next. Don’t be complacent though, speed is more difficult to judge in the dark – especially approach speeds – so you should still take care and adhere to all the daylight driving rules. Dazzle from following vehicles can be just as blinding but the effect can usually be “minimised” using the dipping function on your interior mirror, which is now standard on most modern cars. Don’t forget to return the mirror to its “normal position” once the dazzle has subsided With practice, avoidance technique becomes habit. While such careless driving can be irritating, never stay on full-beam yourself to retaliate. If you would like to take a Free Public Assessment Drive please contact me below. This offer is available to all our Arrow readers If you are interested in the courses we offer, you’ll be able to find this information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk Or Tel: Doncaster 01302 886 276 Safe Driving 48Tuke.
