New Adult Latin and Ballroom Dance Class

Welcome to the

December 2018 edition

at Oldcotes Village Hall Starting Monday 14th January 2019

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try and keep it all the year” Charles Dickens The December magazine already and the last magazine of 2018. I am no more organised than I have been in previous years, if anything I am less so this year. But I am sure that as always, everything essential will eventually get done.

I am looking forward to relaxing for a few days between Christmas and New Year, and I know that I am very lucky to be able to do this. There will be a great many people working hard throughout Christmas keeping our hospitals open, caring for our elderly, serving in our armed forces, keeping public transport running and providing numerous other essential services.

7.30pm - 8.30pm £6.50 pp Learn waltz, quickstep, salsa, tango, cha cha and rock n roll. Pay each week as you attend.

Please get in touch to book your place.

Margaret Huntley Professional Latin and Ballroom dance instructor.

Available for private lessons | First wedding dance

Friday practice nights at Oldcotes Village Hall 7.45pm till 9.15pm just £5.00 per couple.

Please contact Margaret:

Mob: 07800 524134 / 01909 772065 www.margarethuntleyschoolofdance.co.uk

The January issue will be delivered to you between Christmas and New Year. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 7th December. We do work to a slightly different time scale with this issue, as they have to be printed and delivered back to me, sorted and delivered to my team of distributors before Christmas, so as always, your assistance in getting everything to me on time would be much appreciated.

Wishing you and your family and friends a very happy Christmas.

Enjoy the Christmas festivities and I will be back in a months’ time with your first magazine of 2019!

Best wishes,

Paula x

community Community Hello everyone, and welcome to the last write up of the year.

We are all starting to think about Christmas and the joy it brings to so many people. However please give some thought to how much volunteer work people give to the Charities they support, whether it’s an animal Charity or many of the other Charities that need help. There are lots of kind people out there giving up all of their Christmas free time to help their nominated Charity. So, let’s do a big thank you to everyone.

All of the dogs and cats in our care will receive the attention they deserve over Christmas and with the usual shoe box collections that we are so lucky to be part of our animals will have a super Christmas day. Our kennel assistants will be on hand over the Christmas period to make sure the dogs and cats have plenty of play time with their toys. Keep an eye on Facebook I am sure there will be lots of photos posted. Thank you to all of the girls and guys that work at Mayflower they do such a good job, you are all stars.

We have street collections in Doncaster on the 1st and 22nd of December, we will be outside M & S, please come along and say hello.

Don’t forget our Santa Paws at Bawtry light switch on this is a new event and will be so exciting.

Just a few things to consider if you would like to either donate or contribute to our Sanctuary over the Christmas period.

We are desperate for cash donations as we are struggling financially at the moment. We need to be here in the future for the families that are unable to take care of their dogs and cats, whether it’s people that fall on hard times, illness, elderly that have to leave their homes and are unable to take their beloved pets with them, there are many different reasons that people have to give their pets up for adoption. We also have a shopping list of things that you can pick up off the supermarket shelves, wash powder, washing up liquid, poo bags, hand wash and large black refuse bags. We will be grateful for any one of these items. We always need an abundance of towels and blankets in the winter months.

Please don’t forget we have a super pet shop in our reception area at the Sanctuary, so if you’re looking for toys, beds, blankets etc. come along and have a browse.

Last but not least we are trying to save a little dog that we have called Alice that was left at the side of a road to die.

Please read the write up below. Many thanks to everyone that has supported us this year and continue to do so. Thanks to all the kennel and office staff you do a great job.

Help us Save Alice...

She lay at the side of a busy road, she had given up and was waiting to die.

She was eventually noticed by a kind person (not the Dog Catcher, thank goodness) who managed to catch her but she was still taken to a kill shelter.

When we agreed to take Alice, she was Number 93, without a name and without hope, awaiting her fate like so many others.

She was transferred to a safe pension, which came at a cost, and treatment was started for her skin and wellbeing.

Alice is a mature dog, with only one eye - goodness knows how she lost it -but that doesn’t matter to us.

We just want to give her a future that is safe and secure.

To save Alice, we need to raise funds to cover the following costs: £35 per day to keep her safe in the pension £100 to cover the cost of her treatment so far £20 for a 4DX test for heartworm etc £180 for her vaccinations (including Rabies), worming, micro-chipping and arranging her pet passport £200 for her transport to the UK and safety.

Can you help us give Alice the life she deserves?

Even a small donation will make such a difference If we all help, we will save a life.............

Thanks a million

Happy Christmas and New Year.

Best Wishes,

Margaret Godley Mayflower Animal Sanctuary, Narrow Lane, Bawtry Tel 01302 711330

POLICE WARN PUBLIC OVER RECENT ONLINE SCAMS :Cyber criminals send victims their own passwords in extortion scam Cyber criminals are attempting to blackmail unsuspecting victims by claiming to have used the victims’ password to install spying malware on the victims’ computer. The criminals claim they’ve recorded videos of the victim watching adult material by activating their webcam when they visit these websites. What makes this scam so convincing is that the email usually includes a genuine password the victim has used for one of their online accounts. We believe criminals obtain the passwords from data breaches.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET ONE OF THESE EMAILS? Don’t reply to the email, or be pressured into paying. The police advise that you do not pay FULPLQDOV 7U\ ȵ DJJLQJ WKH HPDLO DV spam/junk if you receive it multiple times. Perform a password reset as soon as possible on any accounts where you’ve used the password mentioned in the email. Always use a strong, separate password for important accounts, such as your email. Where available, enable twofactor authentication (2FA). Always install the latest software and app updates. Install, or enable, antivirus software on your laptops and computers and keep it updated.

If you receive one of these emails, report it to Action Fraud’s phishing reporting tool. If you have received

one of these emails and paid the ransom, report it to your local police force.

'HDU )ULHQGV If we were to believe the many and varied advertisements found on television at this time of year, we would think that the celebration of Christmas was all and only about indulgence and acquisition. I have lost count of the number of times the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;treat yourselfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is used. And although this is now an integral part of the celebration of Christmas, it is not the whole story In fact, we need to return to the story, the story of a baby born in a Bethlehem stable, the place where Christmas began, to truly understand the season and to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;live itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to its fullest potential.

visiting, we also take time to prepare spiritually for Christmas. This sometimes includes some seasonal reading, spending time in silence, and exploring a new way of praying. And in church we enjoy Christingles, Nativities, carol singing and the odd mince pie and seasonal mull. We hope you will be able to join us for at least some of these.

Let us be sensitive to the fact that for some in our communities Christmas is a time of loneliness or despair and perhaps rather than focussing on our own neediness consider for a moment the needs of others, perhaps by making a charitable donation to a homelessness charity or volunteering with an organisation that supports the housebound elderly. For hope is something we can give to others and in return we may become tentatively more hopeful for ourselves, for tomorrow, for humankind, and for the world in which we live.

Harworth & Bircotes Town Council - DECEMBER 2018 Keeping you aware of developments in our Town is of primary importance; I will continue to keep you updated via this magazine, and you can access the Council website and the Council Facebook page. Any queries: contact me or other councillors, we will, as always, try to help REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY Building Work on the Town Hall - We Need Your Patience and Understanding.

Work started on the Town Hall on 12th November, and will be completed around midFebruary, weather permitting.

The site manager is available to liaise with the public, and he will ensure safety measures are in place when it comes to lorries etc. accessing the site. During the entire build period, part of the car park will be occupied by the builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compound - this means less car parking spaces available until WKH ZRUN LV Č´QLVKHG ZKLFK LV frustrating, and I apologise for the inconvenience.

7KH EXLOGHU LV FRQČ´GHQW WKH general use of the main hall by the public will not be disrupted, 30 HARWORTH TODAY

though on occasions noise might be a problem; he will liaise with the Town Clerk on a weekly basis to ensure there is no risk to public safety.

Latest News on the Waste Incinerator The Planners at Nottinghamshire County Council have applied Regulation 25 to the application to build a waste incinerator, which LQ HÎ?HFW PHDQV D UHTXHVW from Planning for more information. For this reason, the 3ODQQLQJ 2É?FHU LQYROYHG KDV â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;suspended the determination of the planning application until such time that the further LQIRUPDWLRQ UHTXHVWHG KDV EHHQ submitted`, which means we will now have to wait some time before it goes before Notts.

County Planning Committee and a decision is made. I understand N U Energy have asked for an extension, for time to gather the information, so in the meantime, the campaign must continue: I.T.V. News certainly thinks so, thanks to local resident Richard Chambers who contacted them and, supported by local people and the business community, organised a protest group on the proposed incinerator site in October. Some of us were interviewed, the whole group appeared on the telly, and we all recognise we need to keep up the momentum to our objections against it.

The Raised Pedestrian Crossing at All Saints School is now in place, thanks to County Councillor Sheila Place and Highways. The work doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop here for Sheila, she is pressing for more crossings in our town, as is the Town Council. Thank you, everyone, for living with the week-long diversion, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard one serious complaint despite the inconvenience it caused for drivers.

UPDATE Remembrance Sunday. The service organised by the Royal British Legion and supported by the Town Council was moving and well attended; thanks go to all organisations and individuals involved.

The red poppies placed on lamp posts around the Town were purchased by several organisations, including the TRA, and what a wonderful display from both the Tenants and Residents and the Knitters and Natters Groups, who have been knitting, crocheting and sewing red poppies for the last 6 months â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a true labour of love. Also, thanks go to the Army Cadets who provided the FDPRXČľDJH QHWWLQJ WR IDVWHQ them onto the tree at the front of the Town Hall, and the tree near the war memorial.

Christmas Extravaganza: 30th November, 3.30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7.00pm. at the Town Hall Tree lighting is at 4.30pm, and this year there will be the Ice Rink, Rodeo Reindeer, Toboggan TO ADVERTISE CALL 01302 969696

You will also be able to visit Santa in his Grotto, and support local community groups who will be selling items to help raise funds for their individual group. We are not accepting any individual crafters this year due to the reduced amount of space whilst the work is being carried out to the Town Hall building.

Saturday 1st December is Pantomime Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; oh no it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, oh yes, it is! - at the Town Hall.

We will be hosting Talegate Theatre who will be performing Sleeping Beauty: start time is 2pm.

Talegate Theatre is the theatre company that delivered the very successful â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Panto in the Park` performances in Bassetlaw during the summer holidays, so we are extremely lucky to have them come and perform for us. This is a FREE performance thanks to funding received from North Notts BID, however, seats are limited so we ask that you call the town hall on 01302 759037 to reserve a seat.

Sunday 2nd December: the outside activities will be open from 10am to 2pm.

Both events will have both traditional and Christmas markets, plus festive food and funfairs.

The Civic Square. Planting is now complete, next comes installation of street furniture, BUT I have asked for this to be done after the Christmas Extravaganza. Why? Because the area occupied by the builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compound on the car park means that this year there will be less space than usual available for the ice rink and other attractions appearing, so every bit of space will count.

HQGHUVC were spotted throwing used cigarettes out of WKHLU FDUV HDFK ZDV Č´ QHG e To Make You Smile The thought of Christmas brings back a number of childhood memories. As a small child I loved going to a pantomime, often accompanied by my grandparents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I suspect they enjoyed themselves as much as I did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my parents got much of a look in.

One Christmas, my grandparents took me to see Little Red Riding Hood. I sat there, fascinated by the magical world evolving before me. I was totally engrossed in the story when I spotted the Big Bad Wolf hiding behind the trees on the stage. As he got nearer to Little Red Riding Hood, the audience began to call out â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind youâ&#x20AC;? but each time Little Red Riding failed to see him.

By now, I was thoroughly alarmed; as the audience fell silent in horror just as the Big Bad Wolf was about to pounce, I shouted out loudly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quick,

Grandad, shoot him with your gunâ&#x20AC;?.

Needless to say, the audience started to laugh and the moment of tension was lost for the poor actors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all thanks WR D Č´ YH \HDU ROG ZLWK D YLYLG imagination. But then, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bit of imagination and magic what all children need? - especially at Christmas.
