Editor’s Letter...

Sincere apologies to anyone who missed the opportunity to have their bin emptied due to the notice in last month’s Arrow. The Arrow had already gone to print when the strike was called off!

Lesson Learned!

With only eight weeks till Christmas, everything is in full throttle once more, this month’s Arrow has lots of local fayres in November and December so be sure to check them out, they are always good to visit and you can pick up some great stocking fillers! The local village pubs are all offering Christmas fayre menus throughout December so you wont be stuck for a festive treat!

All this talk about Christmas and we still have November to get through! With the half term holiday eating into November, Christmas can feel a long way off! Warmsworth Gala Committee have organised a Halloween Lantern walk on Thursday 1st November from Warmsworth Community Centre, details inside this month’s issue.

The deadline for the December issue for advertising and articles is Wednesday 14th November. The December Arrow will be delivered from Friday 23rd November.

Best Wishes

Warmsworth & Edlington Lions Club are holding an Avon Night along with Flower and novelty sweet arrangements. All these are ideal gifts for Christmas.

It will take place on Tuesday 13th November at the 1st/36th Scout Hut which is at the rear of St Peter's White Church, Balby. Admission is free, anyone wanting to attend this evening, please contact TOM KELLY 07931950749.

St Mary’s Sprotbrough Annual Christmas Fayre Preparations are underway for St Mary’s Annual Christmas Fayre to be held at the Church Hall, Main Street, Sprotbrough on Saturday 24th November between 10 am and 3pm.

We put a call though to Toyland and managed a quick word with busy Santa asking him about his special visit to Sprotbrough. He told us that he always loves coming to Sprotbrough and is working hard getting sacks of presents ready.

This year he has a new gadget: Santa Nav! “It’s like the ones in your cars but speaks Reindeer of course!” said Santa. He explained that he’s been persuaded to use modern technology to help keep up with all the new places to visit this Christmas.

As usual, there will be a different Grotto for Santa and you this year. How they dream up the wonderful ideas each year is amazing! There’ll be games to play and Tombola to try your luck on, stalls of Christmas treats, gifts, cakes, toys, books, CD’s DVD’s and, of course the superb Hampers Raffle! Lunches and tasty snacks will be on sale too, so why not come and join in the festive fun?

See you there!

Huge Sale of second-hand books and Jigsaw puzzles to be held at the Goldsmiths Centre Sprotbrough on Saturday 8th December 10am—4pm.

WARMSWORTH

CRICKET CLUB

Another Season is over and it is one we will want to put behind us very quickly for a number of reasons. It has been the worst season during the History of the club for games lost due to the weather, and also the worst season in history for results, with only a handful of wins recorded between all the teams. The club now finds itself in Divisions 3 & 4 of the South Yorkshire league for Season 2013.

You may think that Cricket stops over the winter, but that is not the case, the Club competes in the All Saints Indoor Cricket League played at Rossington on Sunday Evenings, the competition is six aside with the League winners going on to compete in the regional and possibly the National Finals.

Planning is already underway for 2013; we have entered a team in the Doncaster Infirmary Evening League and are actively recruiting players at all levels for the club. Anyone who may be interested in joining the club, please get in contact using the details below.

The Indoor Nets will be starting during February 2013 and will once again be based in the Sports Hall at Sir Thomas Wharton College, Edlington. I will advise dates and times at a later date.

The bid for funding for the new roof has been submitted and we are currently awaiting the news as to whether our bid has been successful.

Forthcoming Fixtures 4th Nov 11th Nov 18th Nov 25th Nov 2nd Dec

Warmsworth Indoor v Hatfield Town Warmsworth Indoor v Maltby Warmsworth Indoor v Barnby Dun Warmsworth Indoor v Rossington Warmsworth Indoor v Hatfield Town

The Club is available for Hire for Meetings, Parties etc. we are fully licensed and can cater for up to 80 people. Please email as below for any further information.

To contact the club regarding any matter please email secretary@warmsworthcc.com
