Today

How sad would be November if we didn’t have knowledge of the Spring?

Edwin Way Teale

The year is racing by, Halloween has been and gone and Christmas is only just around the corner! I have spent several days this Autumn accompanying my son as he visits University Open Days. It has brought back many happy memories of my own time at University. Many aspects of campuses remain the same as they were in the 90’s although it has been apparent everywhere we have been, that huge investment has been made in buildings and facilities – not least the student accommodation, where en-suites are now the expected norm! Anyone following us on facebook will know that we were shortlisted in four categories at the 2015 National Magazine Publisher’s Awards, and that I was thrilled to come home with 2 awards that night. Our newly redesigned website won ‘Best Website’ and the cartoon video that features on the website also won an award in the ‘Best Promotional Video’ category. It is lovely to receive some recognition within the industry that we are doing something right, and the couple of days at the publishers conference, spending time with so many fabulous magazine producers, many of whom have become my friends is one of the highlights of my working year.

An active family agenda in Greece. Lee Jackson Report from

Our first experience of a family holiday the Mark Warner way had come pretty late. With our children now 13 and 14 years of age we would not benefit from their highly acclaimed childcare and entertainment but our thinking was that there could be just enough activities to keep our teenagers entertained for a week. It was the activities that drew us to Mark Warner’s Levante Beach resort on the popular Greek island of Rhodes. Our holidays in the past have mostly been driven by the destination and a desire to explore the local region. But this time around we were entirely set on the opportunity to holiday amongst like-minded families and to follow a more active family agenda. We had no designs on travel beyond our resort although there would be lots of opportunity to do so. On arrival it was crystal clear that we would not be short of something to do all week. These days the idea of attending a welcome meeting from the tour company seems a dated and unnecessary task but with a “to do” list as long as our arms we needed to know where and when to take a full part. After the warm welcome to the resort we were given briefs on opening times and protocol for water-sports, tennis and biking, and details of when and where the children could join the respective club for their age group. Our 13 year old daughter had within an hour of arrival created a day one schedule more appropriate for an Olympian decathlete! For me the main focus of the week would be on the tennis courts, including a 4 day group academy course with a private lesson and evening drills. On the first day following introduction to the

of Bliss Travel

academy group we all share our respective abilities so that the coaches can tailor the coaching to suit our grade. The camaraderie amongst the group develops quickly and the first academy session is quickly followed by games with newly found acquaintances. With social tennis and an evening drill also in the schedule all in all the first days ball hitting effort is an energy sapping five hours. For someone who has long dreamed of spending a week hitting tennis balls in the sun the aches and pains are merely testament to great start to the holiday. As I make my way down to the beach to cool off in the waves it is evident that there is plenty of relaxation taking place in between the sporting activity. The choice of three pools offers family, adult and children’s bathing options and just beyond these is the beach with the aquamarine water of the Mediterranean Sea. On checking progress with the family it seems that my daughter’s high intensity workout prompted a rethink on the activity schedule and a diversion to the water-sports centre for a slightly more holiday friendly training regime. Not that this reflected any reduction in her determination not to waste a single minute. Windsurfing, sailing and scuba diving soon follow and with the help of the small army of Mark Warner experts she soon has a grasp of the various techniques. In fact my daughter’s confidence on the water is clearly on show when she takes out a small dinghy to introduce

herself to sailing. Earlier in the day I arrange a lesson for my son, wife and I so that we can learn the basics of the sport. My wife decides to watch from the instructor’s motor boat, and my son handles the boat with ease. My progress is not so straightforward as it is only after five capsizes of the dinghy that I find the required technique. Not that in all of this adventure there is any real risk of danger. The sailing section of the water is completely patrolled by sea and shore based Mark Warner staff who reach any capsized craft in seconds, most of the time with the error prone learner laughing in the water in the safety of their buoyancy aid. As the week proceeds we work our way through mountain biking trips, water skiing, kayaking and my wife is inspired to keep up her gym sessions in between a more relaxed but equally popular regime of sunbathing. My Tennis gets better then worse with each session but the evening social games bring the enjoyment of competitive games and greater confidence. Meanwhile down on the beach my daughter is warmly acclaimed as a natural sailor and then rounds off a week of non-stop activity with the ladies first position in the weekly resort triathlon.

A Message for Everyone Interested in the Piano Learning how to play the piano can be a very lonely process, taking years of dedicated study.

All types of music will be welcome (Classics, Modern, Popular, Folk and Jazz).

Often when progress is made and a repertoire is beginning to develop, a pianist finds it difficult to perform in front of any type of audience because of nerves and lack of confidence.

The essential message is that it is the members who perform and present the music.

We propose to start a club to provide a small friendly group of people of all ages, with an interest in the piano, to encourage and support performance, and a venue at which pianists of all levels can meet people with a similar interest. Everyone is welcome, it does not matter if you are unable to read music, have passed a Grade 1 exam or hold a Diploma or Degree in Music, or simply have no interest in gaining qualifications and just like to play the piano or keyboard. Members may elect not to play but just to listen and provide moral support. However, the number of members wishing to play will be strictly limited to ensure all have an adequate opportunity to play.

We also hope to have a social aspect to the club, and to arrange club visits to various venues, possibly to play some music at hotels, piano manufacturers, restorers and large retailers. The Club membership will play a major role in determine the activities and interests of the piano club, and when, where and how often we meet. So it is important that you attend this first meeting and have your say if you are able to. If you can’t or haven’t received your magazine in time, then don’t worry simply contact David Kay on 01302 538537 for more information and to register your interest. Please come and join us at the first meeting of our club: 7:45pm on Tuesday 27th OCTOBER 2015 At St Wilfrid’s Church, Church Lane, Cantley T

ZZZzzzzzzz… Following on from last month’s article on mattresses, here’s what you need to know about pillows to add the final ingredient for a good night’s sleep… The purpose of a pillow is to keep your head, neck and spine in line. The thickness of your ideal pillow will depend on the size of your frame and the position you sleep in. If you sleep on your back you will only need a slim pillow just to prevent your head and neck from tipping back. Side sleepers will need a thicker pillow to fill the space between your shoulder and the side of your head. The bigger your frame, the larger this gap will be. Sleeping on your tummy is best avoided as it is impossible to keep your head and neck in a neutral position. It’s actually quite difficult for us to accurately determine the position of different body parts so the best way to judge a pillow is to adopt your usual sleep position and then ask someone else to look and see if your head, neck and spine are still in line. Pillows generally last 3-5 years, but there is a quick test to see if it’s still up to the job. Fold a feather pillow in half, squeezing out all the air. When you let go, it should spring back into shape. Fold synthetic pillows in half and place a small weight on it (decent paperback or a trainer). The pillow should fling off the weight as it springs back to shape! Sleep well!

SANTA DASH, Tickhill

Children’s disability charity, Brainwave, is organising a 5k Santa Dash taking place on the morning of Saturday 5th December 2015 from Tickhill Cricket Club. As a fun run, it is not a timed event and runners of all abilities (including walkers) are welcome to take part. The Santa Dash is the first fundraising event that Brainwave has undertaken in Yorkshire. Brainwave helps children living with disabilities and special needs to achieve greater independence. The children have a range of conditions such as cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism, genetic disorders and developmental delay. All proceeds raised from the event will support local children. Amelia Poppy, is aged two and lives in Tickhill. She lives with a genetic condition known as Koolen de Vries Syndrome. Brainwave has developed an exercise programme tailored for Amelia. According to mum, Claire, “Amelia has benefited greatly from the brainwave programme; she has made amazing progress with her mobility, communication skills and overall development. Through attending Brainwave we, as her parents, felt assured that Amelia was receiving the right therapy to optimise her potential.” Richard Clarke of Brainwave enthused about the event, “The Santa Dash will be brilliant fun. There will be Christmas music as people gather for the run. There will be a special appearance by the ‘real Santa’ to hand medals to all the runners. Afterwards there will be refreshments in the Cricket Club. It is a brilliant way to help local children, like Amelia.” Runner registration is £15 per adult and £10 per child (up to 13). Santa Suits and runner medals will be provided to all participants. Team packages are also available for local businesses to take part. Runner registration forms are available at KSM Dry Cleaners & Card Shop in Tickhill, and also available online via the Charity website: http://www.brainwave.org.uk/yorkshire-santa-dash/ T 22

Garden Bonfires November seems a good month to talk about bonfires. I’m not actually a huge fan of the garden bonfire; I think that generally there are better ways of disposing of garden waste. Most green waste, such as leaves or grass can be recycled. Woody waste can be shredded and either composted or used as mulch, though it may be more cost-effective to hire a shredder rather than buy one outright if your garden is small. But if wood is diseased a bonfire may be the best way to deal with it. So what are the rules regarding garden bonfires? Rather surprisingly there are no specific laws against having a bonfire, or when you can have one. There may be local by-laws though: laws made by a local authority and applicable only in a defined geographical area. Phone your council or check their website for further information. If you rent a property you’ll need to check under your tenancy agreement too, in order to find out whether bonfires are permitted. Laws about bonfires are generally concerned with their potential nuisance value. So you can’t burn

plastics, or painted household waste which may produce toxic fumes or thick smoke harmful to asthma sufferers. Also, the Highways Act states that it is an offence to light a bonfire near a road if the drifting smoke may cause a traffic hazard. Mostly though bonfires are all about common sense. The smoke and smell from a fire might annoy your neighbours, especially if it prevents them from opening their windows or hanging out their washing. It’s polite to warn your neighbours beforehand; they may have an outdoor party planned or want to spend the afternoon pottering in their garden. Light your bonfire at a time least likely to cause a nuisance – remember on a warm sunny day people are more likely to be out in their garden, enjoying it. Only burn dry material because damp material creates a lot of smoke.

Bonfire Safety Check-list • Build the bonfire away from sheds, fences and trees • Don’t build it too large and make sure it’s stable, so it won’t collapse outwards or to one side. • Check the bonfire for hibernating wildlife. • Don’t use petrol or paraffin to start the fire as these accelerate the flames and may cause the fire to burn out of control. • Keep a bucket of water or a hose handy—just in case • Don’t leave the fire unattended. • Keep small children and pets out of the way. • Once the fire has died down, pour water over the embers to stop them re-igniting.
