Welcome to the

January 2017 edition

ShopAppy

And so, we welcome another year. . .2018 is now available

in Tickhill.

Just search ShopAppy.com and Tickhill to view the shops and products available to you.

Click and collect available or just browse our selection.

I do hope that readers have had an enjoyable Christmas and that many of you are still enjoying festive treats and time with family and friends.

As always, I planned to be organised well ahead for Christmas this year so that I didn’t find myself rushing around, working late and wrapping on Christmas Eve! Unfortunately, like all the best laid plans, as I write this with just 10 days left to go, I have 5 magazines to finish, cards to write, shopping still to do, not forgetting 2 bedrooms mid-way through being decorated. But at least I’ve not moved house this December, last year was the last time I will do that in December! Fingers crossed that by the time you read this I will be enjoying a few days of relaxation.

The February issue will be delivered to you late January. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 12th January.

2018 may be upon us by the time you read this, if not it won’t be far away, so I would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers and their families a very happy New Year, I hope the year ahead will be not only happy but a memorable one for you.

Wishing you a Peaceful 2018.

Enjoy January and I will be back in a months’ time with your February magazine.

Best wishes,

Paula x

The Memorial Garden is an extension of the RSPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing pet cremation service.

Customers will be able to choose either or both services. Although it is a sad time when you lose a loving pet, it is comforting to know that the money you pay for cremation or the memorial garden is going directly to help animals rescued from cruelty.

The RSPCA South Yorkshire Animal Centre is located on the Great North Road, near Bawtry, DN10 6DE, and is open six days a week 11am to 4pm (closed Wednesdays).

You can raise funds for the Animal Centre in many ways â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bring in unwanted clothes, toys, bedding, curtains, books and bric a brac; make a mobile donation (text SYAC14 ÂŁ5 to 70070) or shop at the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enlarged Pet Store.

Learn to love your living space Whether this is the living room, lounge or sitting room whatever you call it, sometimes our living space can be underappreciated or overused and in need of some TLC and this week, I have three great design ideas that can bring a fresh new look to your living room.

Inject a burst of colour With the winter months during in this is the perfect time to inject your home with a pop of colour. Giving even just one wall a lick of paint will instantly brighten up the entire room.

Introducing different textiles and materials Updating some of your home accessories with different textiles and materials can really add some depth and chic to your living space and give your room a completely new feel.

7U\ XSGDWLQJ D OLJKW ¿ WWLQJ RU DGGLQJ VRPH VWRUDJH baskets that are not only practical storage solution but can also be a stylish feature within your room too.

Interior trend: Key statement pieces to watch out for this season includes woven textiles such as wicker or bamboo alongside marble and copper accessories.

Love those soft furnishings Bringing in new soft furnishings is an easy way to update your living space.

Top tip: If your cushions are recent just change the cushion covers there is no need to spend extra money when it’s not required and also you can swap them back again when you fancy a change.

Or why not try adding an elaborate trim to an existing cushion cover. You don’t need to be an excellent sewer to do this just follow these two easy steps.

1. Remove the pad from the cushion cover and pin your chosen braiding around the top edge of the cover.

2. For the corners, neatly fold the braiding at 90 degrees to create a right angle and pin into place.

Then it’s just a case of hand stitching all the way around with a contrasting thread.

I hope you have enjoyed the read and if you would like to read more of my homes styling tips DV ZHOO DV ¿ QGLQJ D UDQJH RI KRPH LQWHULRU GpFRU head to our website. www.uniqueinteriorchic.co.uk Until next month

To Everyone A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. 2017 was very hard on our finance department.

Lots of our resident dogs needed very expensive surgery, but luckily all came through well and some have now arrived in their forever homes, they have been given that special new start that they deserve.

Our Vets bill for the year was over £55,000 so this money has to come from somewhere, we rely heavily on the generosity of the local people in the area and we will not survive without you. We receive no government funding therefore we must make the most of all fundraising events throughout the year.

Unfortunately, the £20,000 funding that we have received for many years from Blue Cross has ended this year so we will struggle to stay afloat without your help.

All fundraisers work so hard thinking up new ideas to raise money, however we badly need your support to make all our fundraising successful.

We will be holding a May Ball at the Crown Hotel on the 18th May so please save the date, it promises to be a fabulous evening and we hope you will be there to support us.

We will also be having our usual Dog Walk and Dog Show during the year, so watch this space for dates.

Finding a forever home

Thank you to everyone that helped make our resident dogs and cats happy on Christmas day with lots of shoe boxes filled with toys and treats. Also thank you’ s to everyone involved in loving and caring for the dogs and cats in their care here, particularly over the Christmas period. Also, volunteers taking time out of their hectic family Christmas to walk our dogs at the Sanctuary over the festive period.

You are all stars.

We have re-homed over 500 dogs and 250 cats throughout 2017 which has to be a fantastic achievement.

If you are looking for that special pet to share your life please come to see us we will be happy to have a chat and point you in the right direction.

Don’t forget we have a shop area in our reception so call and have a coffee and a look around there’s lots to see.

Our opening hours are 2-4 Monday-Friday. Closed Tuesday.

Sat-Sun 1-4

Name: Ben Male Sex: Age: 6 years Came into care: Sept 2017 Good with dogs: ?

Good with cats: ?

Good with children: Older I was adopted from Mayflower as a kitten and have spent the last 5 ½ years living in a very happy home with my Mum. Unfortunately she has been unwell lately and feels unable to care for me properly any more so here I am to look for a new home. I am a loving little chap but can be a little feisty at times so any children should be older. I have also been used to going outside so my new home must be in a quiet area or have a secure garden for me to explore.

Don’t pass me by – ask to meet me.

Name: Rosa Female Sex: Age: 18 months Came into care: Apr 2017 Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Not Tested Good with children: 8+ Rosa is shy and nervous around new people, but is loving and kind once she gets to know you.

She is very gentle and playful and loves to go for walks. She has proven, once over her shyness, to be very trainable.

Due to her shyness she will need a quieter home. If you are interested in Rosa please speak to a member of staff.

Tickhill Estfeld School Tickhill Estfeld Tickhill Estfeld – Tickhill Young Person of the Year Award 2017. One of our pupils at Estfeld, Sian, is a keen knitter and attends our knitting club at school.

Sian has also put her knitting skills to good use to support a local charity and for this reason we nominated her for the Tickhill Town Council Young Person of the Year Award 2017.

Sian started to knit scarves, beautiful cowl scarves, which she sold to raise funds for Weston Park +RVSLWDO LQ 6KHI¿HOG 6LDQ¶V IDPLO\ KDYH FORVH OLQNV to Weston Park, as the hospital has helped their family in recent years. The scarfs were very popular and encouraged by this success, the following year 6LDQ NQLWWHG ¿QJHUOHVV JORYHV WR UDLVH IXQGV DJDLQ these were very popular. This year Sian has been busy knitting friendship bracelets – we are sure that Weston Park will once again be grateful for her donations raised through the sale of the bracelets.

Sian has now been fundraising for Weston Park for three years, always thinking of a new idea so that she FDQ FRQWLQXH KHU IXQGUDLVLQJ VKH KDV SHUVHYHUHG LQ her efforts and this is commendable. Sian does all of this very modestly. We are very proud of Sian, as are her family and friends and we were delighted when she received the Young Person of the Year Award.

Everything’s coming up ….sprouts.

We are delighted to report that as Christmas approaches there will be no problem with a shortage of sprouts at school this year. Our keen gardeners have managed to produce plenty in time for our school Christmas Dinner on Friday 22nd December.

Well done indeed to our gardeners!

This display at the Graves Gallery showcases a series of 21 line engravings illustrating the biblical story of Job by visionary, poet and artist, William Blake. Created in 1826, the engravings were commissioned by his friend, the artist John Linnell and depict Job’s faith being tested by Satan. Blake was repeatedly inspired by the Book of Job, viewing Job’s trials and eventual spiritual rebirth as parallel to his own creative struggles. And until 17 March, also in The Graves, Dan Holdsworth ‘Mapping the Limits of Space’ presents the UK premiere of artist Dan Holdsworth’s newest series of images, Continuous Topography, which go on show alongside some of his most significant works from the past seven years. Dan Holdsworth’s latest work combines real and virtual representations of the geological landscape to explore the relationship between photography, science and technology.

Created using digital mapping data to expand the photographic process, the images are informed as much by the history and tradition of landscape photography as the latest technological developments. www.museums-sheffield.org.uk

What do we ‘do’?!

A patient of mine recently enquired as to whether or not we ‘do’ fingers. He knew we ‘did’ backs and sports injuries but wasn’t sure about fingers!

So, what exactly do we ‘do’?! Basically physiotherapists treat any part of the body that is causing a problem…it could be painful, stiff, tingly, sore, weak…

It can make more sense to think of Physiotherapists as Human Engineers. The human body is one large machine which may, for a variety of reasons, develop a dysfunctional part or parts which in turn (especially if left for long enough) may have a knock on effect creating problems/stress elsewhere in the system.

It’s the job of the Physiotherapist to ascertain where the fault lies, why it occurred in the first place, what needs to be done to remedy the situation and what needs to change to prevent the problem recurring.

One of the many things I love about my work is the variety so thankfully I can say “Yes, we ‘do’ fingers!” and over the past few weeks I’ve also seen patients with; • an arthritic knee • a stiff neck after a car accident • a painful foot causing problems with acrobatic tumbling • a sore hip causing problems getting comfy in bed • a tingly arm • low back pain for the first time • low back pain for many years • headaches • a painful knee after running with a poor movement pattern So, if you feel that part of your body is not moving properly, is causing uncomfortable symptoms of one description or another or is limiting how you use your body then Physiotherapy could benefit you.

Could yoga help you improve your health in 2018?

For many, the end of one year and start of the next, is a time for reflection and aspiration. We look back at what we’ve done and think about what we’d like to do or achieve for the New Year.

The truth is, however, no matter what any of us want to do – we need our health to be able to enjoy life to the full.

My Mum used to say, you can have all the money in the world, but without your health you have nothing. She was a wise lady!

Shona Garner is a fully qualified, experienced teacher, running regular classes, and 6 week programmes (for beginners; for healthy back and core, and for stress) in the Tickhill, Cantley and Bawtry areas. If you’d like information about any of these courses then contact Shona on shona@yogaover45.co.uk or Tel: 07904 262877, or visit: www.yogaover45.co.uk

As a yoga teacher with a special interest in teaching students in mid-life or later years, I find many of my students have niggling pains or conditions which, if neglected, would hinder their plans and prevent them from living life to the full. Getting older does not automatically have to come with getting sicker.

Yoga can help you improve your strength, flexibility and your general well-being and, unlike many forms of exercise, is accessible to just about anyone – regardless of age or physical health. From gentle stretches to movements which help strengthen your muscles, improve your posture and relieve the stress or tension so many of us can experience in day to day life, learning and practising yoga might be one of the most beneficial things you could do for yourself in 2018.

Whether you make New Year resolutions or not, you have plans; things you love to do; people you want to spend time with – and the last thing you need is your health to prevent you from doing those things. Maybe giving yoga is worth a try? And the beauty of yoga is, once you learn some basics, you need no special equipment – and you can practise easily at home: honestly, a few minutes a day can make a significant difference to your health and general well-being.

So, search out a class you feel might be suitable for you – try more than one teacher or style – sometimes it takes time to find the teacher who is the right “fit” for you – but it’s worth looking! And know that you could be on the way to forming a new habit which can massively change your health for the better!

â&#x20AC;˘ Perk up with exercise You might feel too tired to exercise, but regular exercise will make you feel less tired in the long run, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have more energy.

â&#x20AC;˘ Start with a small amount of exercise.

Build up your physical activity gradually 30 TICKHILL TODAY

over weeks and months until you reach the recommended goal of two-and-a-half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as cycling or fast walking, every week.

â&#x20AC;˘ Lose weight to gain energy If your body is carrying excess weight, it can be exhausting. It also puts extra strain on your heart, which can make you tired. Lose weight and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel much more energetic. Apart from eating healthily, the best way to lose weight is to be more active and do more exercise.

â&#x20AC;˘ Sleep well Î&#x2013;W VRXQGV REYLRXV EXW WZR WKLUGV RI XV VXÎ? HU from sleep problems, and many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the sleep they need to stay alert through the day. The Royal College of Psychiatrists advises going to bed and getting up in the morning at the same time every day; avoid naps through the day, and take time to relax before you go to bed.

â&#x20AC;˘ Reduce stress to boost energy Stress uses up a lot of energy. Try to introduce relaxing activities into your day. This could be working out at the gym, or a gentler option, such as listening to music, reading or spending time with friends. Whatever relaxes you will improve your energy.

â&#x20AC;˘ Drink less alcohol Although a few glasses of wine in the evening helps you fall asleep, you sleep less deeply after drinking alcohol. The next day youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be tired, even if you sleep a full eight hours. Cut down on alcohol before bedtime. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a better nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest and have more energy. The NHS recommends that men and women should not regularly drink more than 14 units a week.

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish all our parents, carers, students and community a happy and prosperous New Year.

As many of you are aware, I joined the ranks of the retired this Christmas. It is with both great sadness and immense pride that I leave the Sir Thomas Wharton community.

I have been extremely privileged to serve this community during two periods over 14 years, and especially as Headteacher.

I am confident that the partnership with Maltby Learning Trust will accelerate improvement and provide our young people with the outstanding education they deserve. Mrs Bootman joins as Associate Principal and with the support of Mrs Nash as Executive Leader and our Academy leaders, will build on recent developments and raise standards and outcomes for all.

Thank you for the many good wishes I have received and I look forward to seeing our fantastic school go from strength to strength!

Community Awards Tickhill Town Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Awards were once again presented by Caroline Flint MP at the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reception on December 2rd. These Awards not only highlight the worthiness of the winners but also demonstrate the gratitude of the SHRSOH RI 7LFNKLOO IRU WKRVH ZKR XQVHOČ´ VKO\ VHUYH to promote and improve the town. Despite fewer nominations this year, the judges had a demanding but enjoyable task to select the winners.

The Community Award, given to an adult for an outstanding contribution to the community, was presented to Karen Holmes.

Karen has been the force behind the transformation of the old Tickhill Institute into a Community Hub, now known as The Tavern. Although still in its infancy, Karen hopes that The Hub will eventually serve all of Tickhill by providing facilities appropriate to the needs of residents across a wide age range. The much needed Youth Club is already established and the building itself has undergone a transformation to bring it up to the standard required for all the activities Karen hopes it will host.

Karenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive, determination and commitment to JHW WKLV SURMHFW RÎ? WKH JURXQG LV WR EH DSSODXGHG and it makes her a worthy recipient of this award.

The Alison Award, presented to a young resident of Tickhill (aged 12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;25) for any form of personal achievement, went this year to Charlotte Mickley.

2017 has certainly been a year of great personal achievement for Charlotte. On the strength of her commitments as House and School Councillor, Student Governor and Head Student at Sir Thomas Wharton Academy, plus her work as a Youth Councillor, she received a Doncaster Freemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young People Award. Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great passion for the performing arts has lead to starring roles in Chicago and Les Miserables â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to a distinction at *UDGH IRU 9RFDO 3HUIRUPDQFH %XW &KDUORWWH LV QRW all about self.

The Young Person of the Year Award, which is given to a resident aged 11 or under for personal commitment above and beyond that which is expected, was shared this year by Sian Howells-White and Ella Ward.

Sian is a great knitter but uses her talents to produce items such as scarves, gloves and friendship bracelets to raise funds for Weston Park Hospital.

Her school and KHU IDPLO\ DUH SURXG RI KHU VHOČľ HVV FRQWULEXWLRQ WR helping others and this award is well deserved.

This year, Ella has experienced atrocities that would be shocking for an adult, but for a ten year old child they were truly devastating. Like, Charlotte, Ella was caught up in the Manchester Arena attack which left her frightened, fragile and very subdued. Then a month later she was with her family in London when the London Bridge attack occurred. It has taken time, but Ella is slowly becoming the happy carefree child she once was. She understands that the world is not always a safe place to be but we cannot let fear rule our lives and she is HPHUJLQJ D PRUH FRQČ´ GHQW DQG XQGHUVWDQGLQJ person. She deserves recognition for her tenacity.

This year there was a further award, the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award, which was presented to Lesley Nicholson.

Tickhill Parish Room Christmas started early in Tickhill because our annual Late Night Shopping Event, with Light Switch-on was the 23rd of November! So â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it all had to be ready for the event.

People were heard muttering â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it seems to be really early this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;can it really be round to that time already?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Actually there was another Thursday in November so why it was early only the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;powers that beâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; know!

As usual it turned out to be a good night, the weather was kind, the people came from all around and everyone entered into the spirit of the thing.

Methodist Minister

Dear Friends, The next part of the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayer for our discussion is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

I wonder if you also believe that God is always tempting us so that he can point accusing Č´ QJHUV DW XV MXGJH XV DQG WKHQ SXW XV LQWR D place where there is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gnashing and gnawing of teethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which some of us call hell.

There are many opinions about temptation but I would want to narrow down on two most popular ones.

7KH Č´ UVW RSLQLRQ LV IURP WKH OHWWHU RI -DPHV Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is trying to trip me up.â&#x20AC;? God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have QR RQH WR EODPH EXW WKH OHHULQJ VHGXFLQJ Čľ DUH XS of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer. (James 1: 13 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15 from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Messageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;).

Each of us has the tendency to give in to evil which leads to sin. However, God knows that we are mortal and so he encourages us to depend upon him for strength to overcome sin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we claim that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free of sin, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On WKH RWKHU KDQG LI ZH DGPLW RXU VLQV PDNH D FOHDQ EUHDVW RI WKHP KH ZRQČ&#x2021;W OHW XV GRZQ KHČ&#x2021;OO EH WUXH to himself.

(1 John 1: 8 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10 from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Messageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;).

The second opinion is that God will always be there for you when you are tempted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face.

All you need to remember is that God will never let \RX GRZQ KHČ&#x2021;OO QHYHU OHW \RX EH SXVKHG SDVW \RXU OLPLW KHČ&#x2021;OO DOZD\V EH WKHUH WR KHOS \RX FRPH WKURXJK itâ&#x20AC;? (1 Corinthians 10: 13 from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Messageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;).

of it. However, the decision to come out of the trap is yours. You can let him help you or you may want to do it on your own.

Most of us have learnt hard lessons about doing things our way. In most cases, they turn out to be worse than we started. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it therefore interesting for God to remind you that there is help out there and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free. Christians believe that trusting in God, through his son Jesus, will be of immense help to you. He will help you to overcome temptation and sin. Friend, I am not suggesting that you will be a perfect â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;holier-than-thouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; person. *RG ZLOO KHOS \RX Č´ JKW WKH ELWV LQ \RXU OLIH WKDW \RX Č´ QG GLÉ?

FXOW WR GHDO ZLWK $QG LW LV D JUDGXDO process so he will never judge you when you fail.

God will rather encourage you to come back to him and reason with him about the way forward.

By the way, I am not suggesting to you that if you are undergoing any sort of help to overcome a problem then leave it and come to God. God is using most of these agencies and individuals to help you overcome the issues in your life. However, the bottom line is that you FDQ GR EHWWHU LI \RX PDNH WKH HÎ? RUW WR DELGH by the suggestions that have been given to you. To add to that, may I suggest to you to ask God to help you move forward please?

Finally, I wonder if you can take time to pray and ask for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help for yourself or anyone ZKR LV H[SHULHQFLQJ GLÉ?

Tickhill and District

An accomplished safe cracker...

Our November speaker was Michael Fowler, a retired police inspector who related the life story of Albert Hattersley, an accomplished safe cracker, local villain and his various escapades.

These included breaking into Co-op stores all over the north, including both Tickhill and Harworth, before moving to London and involvement with the East End gangs.

When summoned he would catch the train to London, crack the safe for them, and catch the train back north. The London police never gave a thought to someone coming in from elsewhere, and he made a great deal of money in this period.

58 TICKHILL TODAY

Perhaps the most sensible thing he ever did was to refuse their invitation to be part of the Great Train Robbery.

His experience gained in shot-putting in the mines had given him access and knowledge of explosives, but in 40 years of safe-breaking he spent 21 of those years in jail.

So perhaps crime doesn’t pay after all!

We begin the New Year on Thursday 18th January, with a talk by Tim Mulroy from Rotherham, whose relative was known as ‘The British Schindler.’

We meet in the Methodist School Room, Doors open 7.00pm. and visitors are always welcome.

YOUR COUNCILLORS NIGEL CANNINGS

Newsletter Tickhill Town Council - January 2018

Tickhill Town Council wishes you all a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

line representations can be made by visiting D.M.B.C. planning website.

2018 seems to have loomed in from nowhere and it is hardly believable that we are into another year.

If you see a planning application followed by PD, this means it is permitted development and Tickhill Town Council will not be consulted.

Tickhill Town Council reminds you all to take care during these winter months and keep warm.

Tickhill Town Council wish to welcome Graham Mickley to the team as the Pavilion Manager.

At present the Town Council website is currently being up-dated but should be up and running in the New Year, meanwhile if you could either look at the notice boards or contact the clerk meeting dates etc. will be made available.

Planning: This will always be a contentious issue and Tickhill Town Council urges you all to be the eyes and ears for the Council. If you see planning consents not being adhered to, please report these matters to D.M.B.C. Residents are urged to come to meetings and make comments as Councillors need to know how neighbours and residents feel towards planning applications.

Sometimes the applications are for the better and a voice of support will determine the recommendation but the Councillors need to know also if you object.

Residents can make their own representations by e mail or letter to D.M.B.C . Please try to quote the planning application number. On 62 TICKHILL TODAY

Further help on planning can be found at www.planninghelp.org.uk.

D.M.B.C. contact telephone number is 01302 736000 or tsi@ doncaster.gov.uk or by writing to Planning, Development Management, Civic Office, Waterdale, Doncaster, DN1 3BU If you “GOOGLE” DMBC planning you will go to their planning portal and by clicking on “agree to terms and conditions” you will have access to all planning.

The local Town and Borough Councillors are always willing to help, contact details to be found on this page.

Minutes: These are displayed on the website as soon as possible after the council meetings and very often within 48hours. Good practice according to Y.L.C.A. is within 10 days! However in the absence of the website these can be obtained from the clerk.

Council meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month in the morning at 10.30am, if there are planning applications, and on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 7.00pm, both at the Pavilion Tithes Lane.

Minutes of the previous council meetings are always available, but if copies are required they do

Tickhill and District Lions Club May we start by wishing you all a Happy New Year and saying a big thank you to everyone who supported our Grand Christmas Draw which was held at the Carpenters Arms, Tickhill on December 12th. To the companies and friends who donated prizes, the local businesses and individuals who helped us sell the tickets and of course to all of you who purchased the tickets-thank you very much.

Thank you to all who greeted us so warmly and made such kind donations.

It is wonderful to see the looks on the faces of the young children when they meet Santa.

You can rest assured that every penny you donated will be carefully spent helping deserving causes over the coming year.
