Editors letter... July has been an busy month with School fayres
raising funds for the next school year and
residential trips galore! The Arrow wishes all
young people leaving school and taking on the
next journey of life the very best! We hope it‘s
exciting and fulfilling.
For a lot of us, August is a time for holidays and
family time, I hope you have something fun
planned whether you are at home or away. We
have a few ideas in this month‘s issue if you are at
home, and with this recent weather, home is a
lovely place to be! I have recently joined English
Heritage and have already discovered lots of
beautiful places close by, Brodsworth house is my
favourite so far and has a fantastic new park for
children as well as amazing cream teas!
Clumber park (national trust) has also invested in a
new adventure park, challenging enough for most 3
to 14 year olds! Two fabulous days out with lots of
open space and gorgeous scenery.
What ever you do this summer, we hope you
have a great time.

‗ACTION FOR CHILDREN‘
HOUSE-TO-HOUSE
COLLECTION
Just a reminder that the annual House-to-
House collection for what used to be
known as the National Children‘s Home
will once again be taking place during
October. We are grateful to everyone
who takes on the role of collector and
hope they will continue in future.

would be willing to join us in this very
worthwhile task will be welcome; at least
five more are needed, but the more we
have, the smaller the area each person has
to cover.

‗Not sure? Don‘t open the door‘
South Yorkshire Police are warning homeowners not to accept offers of work on their property from
people cold calling at the door.
Rogue traders are unscrupulous cold callers, who demand high payment for shoddy services or goods or
charge for unnecessary work.
Whilst there may be some genuine traders who use the technique of calling at your door, there are
criminals who look to exploit people, usually the elderly or otherwise vulnerable, by charging extortionate
amounts of money for relatively minor, or even unnecessary jobs.
The term ‗rogue trader‘ can be somewhat confusing as the perpetrators don‘t just contravene Trading
Standards legislation, they are in fact criminals and those who they target are indeed victims of crime.
Always treat anyone calling unexpectedly at your door with suspicion. Never accept an offer of work from
an unknown caller. If they are genuine then they will be willing to leave contact details, allowing you to get
other quotes and choose the best one. Even so, you still don‘t have to listen to their offer if you don‘t
want to. The message is: ‗Not sure? Don‘t open the door!‘
These criminals are adept at what they do and profit from their crimes because many of their victims feel
too ashamed to admit that they‘ve been ‗taken in‘ and subsequently end up feeling even more vulnerable. If
you tell us about it, we can catch these people and stop them exploiting anyone else.
If you think you, or someone you know, have been a victim of a rogue trader, you can report the crime to
the police. Call us on 0114 2202020, where someone will take your call seriously.
Phone 999 if a life is at risk or a crime is in progress.
Call CrimeStoppers to give information about a crime anonymously. CrimeStoppers is an independent
charity helping to find criminals and solve crimes. The freephone number, 0800 555 111 is open 24-hours
a day, seven days a week.
Visit the ‗safety and security‘ section of the South Yorkshire Police website www.southyorks.police.uk for
further advice on ‗Callers at Your Door‘.

Staying safe from rogue traders
If someone calls at your door offering to
undertake work on your home…
You do not have to let them in
If you want to open your door then
remember to use your door chain
If you don‘t want to open your door,
inform the caller that you are not
interested and ask them to leave.
If you are interested in the caller‘s offer
then take their contact details, arrange a
later appointment when convenient to you
and inform them that you will have
someone with you when they return.
Speak to a trusted friend or relative and
ask them if they would be with you at the
arranged time.
Never accept an offer of work from an
unknown caller. If they are genuine, they
will be willing to leave contact details and
allow you to get other quotes.
If you need some work doing to your
property, do not go with the first company
or trader you meet. Obtain a number of
quotes to make sure the prices match up
and where possible, ask family or friends
for a recommendation.
A trick used by burglars is to purport to
be official from a reputable organisation,
claiming they need access to your house to
check the electrics or the water pipes etc.
They then look to steal your belongings
whilst you are distracted by their story.
Don‘t let anyone in without seeking official
ID. A genuine caller will not mind you
phoning their organisation to check that
they are who they say they are, so ask
them to wait outside whilst you make that
call. And remember, the ‗water board‘ has
not existed for a number of years, so
anyone using this explanation is lying.
For more information on your legal rights and a
full explanation of regulations you can contact

―Making the right choice‖ Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important
decisions you will ever make as a parent. Here at Sycamore Hall we
recognise that school should not only be a place of education, but a happy, secure world where childhood
memories are made, and cherished. From the weekly spelling tests, double maths and language lessons, to
the May Day Celebrations and unique Christmas pantomime, we will ensure that your child not only
learns, but has fun and enjoyment along the way.
Our small class sizes ensure that your child is given a high degree of individual attention and is nurtured to
ensure their full potential is reached. We pride ourselves on developing a positive attitude towards
academic work, promoting concentration, self-discipline and a sense of achievement. The school has a
happy and hardworking atmosphere, and upholds traditional values such as good manners and courtesy for
others. Our school welcomes children with special needs and values all its pupils equally.
Sycamore Hall offers you an affordable independent education with moderate fees that you will find
surprising. Fees may be paid termly, monthly or weekly with generous discounts available for siblings.

The butterflies in my stomach were vigorously fluttering as I put my foot down, on
Austerfield ground, from the car and strapped my bag to my back. I tentatively walked on
the dusty path towards my friends - I was nervous because it was the first time I‘d slept on
a trip with school. Elliot H
First we went into the hundred year wood to look at habitats. Everybody was given a
sticker with an animal on it, I was a rabbit. We had to choose a good place to have a
home for our animal. Unluckily the foxes moved in next door to us, OH NO! George
At about 9.30 p.m. we put on our pyjamas and had cocoa and biscuits. Then we brushed
our teeth and went to our tents to go to sleep…..but that‘s what the teachers wanted us
to do! When we got into our tents Peter got out his pack of cards and played Go Fish.
Then we told each other ghost stories and ate our midnight feast. Finally we fell asleep at

time just like we did. I would like to say thank you to Miss Horrey and Miss Sinha for
taking us. Thank You! Amy

Biodiversity Winners
Year 3 entered a biodiversity competition and Copley Junior School came second. Four
people were especially commended for their excellent photographs. We went to Sheffield
Hallam University to get presented with our certificates. The prize for all of year3 was a
garden package (Professor the Lord Winston presented the package to us). It was very
exciting. My bones were shaking! Georgia and Melissa 3P
Summer Fair Many, many thanks for the support given by so many people to the success of our recent
summer fair. A big thank you also goes to the children in year 6 for the excellent games
that they organised. The inventiveness and quality of these never ceases to amaze. The
total raised at the event was £1007.
And finally… Many thanks to children, staff, governors and parents for their continued hard work and
wider commitment to the school and its aims. I hope that you all have a very enjoyable
and relaxing summer holiday with your children and look forward to welcoming back
existing children and the new year 3 classes on September 1st. Best wishes of course go to
our year 6 children, Mr. Henfield and Miss Hull for the best possible start in their new
schools. Mr. White

It seems ages since I wrote anything for The Arrow, mainly
because there hasn‘t been anything definite to report.
Everything seems to have been ‗in the pot‘ so to speak with very
little to show for it.
Our hardy group of conservation volunteers carry on meeting every fortnight regardless of the
weather and a Geology Walk in May, run in conjunction with DMBC‘s National Geology Week, was
quite well supported. We also enjoyed meeting quite a lot of visitors on the river bank on the
Spring Bank Holiday weekend when we had our gazebo and display up for the first time and since
then it has had an airing at the Sprotbrough Fun Run and Edlington and Warmsworth Galas. Its next
appearance will be at the Doncaster Country Fair at Cusworth Hall on the 16th August. Why don‘t
you come along and see us there.
Apart from this, ‗behind the scenes‘ work is continuing in relation to the Fish Pass and the Visitor
Centre. We are reliably informed that the Fish Pass itself will definitely happen, and some surveying
work has already taken place in readiness for it, but when it will be built is still not known. We are,
however, assured that it will be in keeping with the area. Some of the more peripheral parts of the
project may also have to be delayed as, I‘m sure we all know by now, money is less available for big
projects.
This also applies to the what, where and how of the Visitor/Education Centre. A variety of ‗whats‘
have been suggested, ie a building, a barge or a pontoon, but the ‗wheres‘ and the ‗hows‘ of such
suggestions are much more difficult to achieve.
21
We did a survey over the Spring Bank holiday weekend to see whether visitors thought such a thing
was needed. However, the majority of visitors were local people who had come on foot or by
bicycle and, having revised the questions, we hope to do this on a bigger scale in future. There is no
doubt that something, including toilets, would be welcome, but the question is whether some of the
needs, eg provision of information, could just as easily be fulfilled by placing leaflets at other venues
or by the use of display boards – some lateral thinking may be needed.
One prospect that may be opening up is the Earth Centre. I have been to several meetings
regarding this and, if it comes to pass, this could be an ideal spot for a visitor centre, with the ‗Park
and Float‘ scheme coming into its own and bringing Conisbrough Castle within the reach of visitors
to the Gorge. This scheme is again operating on Sundays and Bank Holidays throughout the
Summer, so we hope visitors from further afield might think of this before setting out in their cars.
A planning issue has also come my way regarding the river bridges. I am informed that the weight
limit for lorries is not going to be increased, but that improved signing is expected to be provided at
the Warmsworth end. Hopefully this will be big enough for lorry drivers to see so that they don‘t
get to the top of the hairpin bend before they realise they aren‘t going to get through!
As ever, we are always eager to have feedback so please get in touch and let us know if you have
any questions you would like to ask or points you would like to make.

Dear Reader, What beautiful weather we have been
experiencing of late! Let‘s hope it lasts for the rest of the Summer.
I cannot believe that we are already half way through the year!!! As September approaches, so does the
famous St. Leger race meeting, scheduled for 7th-11th of September. For many females this means a lite retail therapy: a new dress, hat,
shoes, handbag and jewellertly all co-ordinated to help you look your very best. This month, I offer you a few tips that will guarantee you stand out from the crowd!
August’s Beauty Quote I’ve never seen a smiling face that was
not beautiful.~ Author Unknown.

The ‗buzz word‘ at the moment for
nails is ‘Minx’ - a metallic foil that can be applied to
toe and fingers nails. Beware as there are many ‗rip off‘ products out there which do not match the magnificence and capture the colour and brilliance of the ‗Minx‘
designs. With numerous options and colours to choose from, you can complement your outfit perfectly.
If Minx isn‘t for you, then there are Bio Sculpture Gels to give colour to your nails without the fear of smudging or chipping during your day out. Alternatively, if length is
what you require, there are nail extensions, or you may prefer a manicure and pedicure with an application of coloured varnish or natural looking French polish.
Even though we are hoping
the sunshine will continue, it is always wise to pre-book your tanning treatment so that
you look beautifully bronzed in your designer outfit. Requiring only a fifteen minute appointment for a spray tan,
St. Tropez is a universally known product which gives a streak-free, even finish
that is three shades darker than your natural colour just
perfect for that special Occasion!
Race Week is as busy as Christmas for
Doncaster‘s beauty salons! Make sure that you are glamorous and stress free for your special day at the races by booking your
treatments early. Or, you could risk being the one with streaky orange legs, nail ‗pinging off‘ into a friend‘s glass of Pimms and lashes hanging half off at 12 midday
rather than 12 midnight, just because you left it too late to book your appointment
and had to do it all yourself the night before!!!
You could
complete
that polished look with a set of luxurious
lashes. There is a solution for every occasion and budget. Choose from strip ones, which will just be great for the day; individual ones, which will last up to a week; or 3D semi-permanent lashes,
which, with ‗top up‘ treatments, last for weeks.

Taking your Test Dear Readers continued,
Mr Bean was the first person to pass the driving test in 1935… fact! But it‘s not that Mr Bean, it was
Mr J Beene who paid a grand total of 37p (7d / 6p in old money) to take the test. there were no test
centres in 1935 so you had to arrange to meet the examiner somewhere like a post office, train
station or town hall. the test was suspended for the duration of World War Two and didn‘t resume
until 1 November 1946.
In 1975, candidates no longer had to demonstrate hand signals The theory test was introduced in
1996, replacing questions about the Highway Code, during the practical test candidates could book
their theory test online for the first time in December 2001 the pass rate in 1935 was 63 per cent
compared to 46 per cent in 2009.
1969 saw the first driving test set for an automatic vehicle since 1935 more than 46 million tests
have been taken
In 1935, when Leslie Hore-Belisha, became the new Transport Minister, he introduced the driving
test – first in March as a voluntary test and then it became compulsory in June. During the 1930s
safety glass was made compulsory for windscreens after terrible injuries had been caused by
accidents in cars with ordinary glass. Seat belts did not appear until the 1950s but were not made
compulsory in front seats until 1983.
in September 2003. Arm signals out of the window were withdrawn from the test in 1975 and more
modern additions to the test have included a theory test in 1996, the hazard perception section of
the theory test in 2002 and questions about vehicle safety and maintenance
Changes to the test and other safety initiatives, such as improvements to vehicles, have resulted in a
reduction in road deaths in Great Britain, which now has some of the best road safety records in
the world. In 2008 there were 34 million cars on the road and 2,538 people were killed in road
accidents
When announcing the introduction of the driving test, Leslie Hore-Belisha said, ―Driving is an art in
which those who are engaged should, in the interest of their own and of the public‘s safety; take the
greatest pains to make themselves proficient.‖

Sprotbrough Road Community Church (Methodist)
The Family Table
Once again my table has been loaded with fruit‘s, the bounty that our wonderful God has
provided. We have just had Wimbledon fortnight, the one sport I do watch on TV. We
not only have the enjoyment of the tennis but strawberries as well. YUMMY, and the
cream is just the perfect addition. Our Church has really had a feast this time, with the
1st strawberries at the Family Fun Day, the 2nd strawberries at lunch after the morning
service, and the 3rd portion at our house group with a Quiz as part of a fellowship eve-
ning. No wonder the phrase comes to mind, ‘All I have needed thy hand has provided‘.
God loves to give us pleasure and lift our spirits but let‘s not forget the other fruit He has
provided—the Fruit of His Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faith-
fulness, Gentleness and Self Control.
We‘re enjoying a wonderful summer for a change, and we need to thank God for it and all
the other blessings he so freely gives us. When we come to His table more often, and
when we stand at the foot of the cross, we begin to really understand what Jesus did for
each one of US by shedding His blood at Calvary. We can look to Him and enjoy His pre-
cious Fruits, because the fruits of the world are only a passing moment of pleasure. It is
God‘s Spirit, NOT the things of this world that give us everlasting Love and Joy. Our
Lord Jesus is FOREVER.
‗And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviours blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
‗Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, Oh my God, it found out ME.‘
We all need His power to keep us on the
narrow path, and remembering some of the
goodness He shows us, will help our lives to
be easier and more peaceful. So let‘s look
forward to the next strawberry tea at our
tables.
God Bless you all.
See you next month
