AXHOLME SOUTH POLICE

REPORT

Farmland off the B1396 Westwoodside.

Theft, Criminal Damage, Anti-social Behaviour, off

road Bikes. Calls for service to these areas saw an

increase in recent months and centres in and

around the B1396 including Pelfintax, Wroot Road,

Idle Bank and Tindlebank and including private land

owned by local farmers and others.

The times of reports vary throughout the 24 hour

period. The calls include reports of theft including theft of cable, burglary, suspicious persons with dog(s), criminal

damage and off road bikes. A considerable amount of work and liaison has been built between Neighbourhood staff

and the owners and staff working on land to engage them and to identify where offences and offenders are

committing these acts and routes they use. Off road bikes are still being used on land without permission and

illegally. UPDATE; There has been a decrease in calls involving farmland. There has been a reduction in the

cable thefts, however as a division we are still experiencing a level of these types of thefts. We would encourage

any suspicious activity to be reported immediately to the police. Cable thefts affect the connection of phones, TV’s

and broadband to name a few and can massively impact entire communities, isolating vulnerable people and in some

cases limiting access to emergency services. At this time further legislation to enable the agencies to deal with

offences is being established.

Humberside Police and energy suppliers are working together to collate and jointly investigate and prevent further

offences occurring. Some suppliers are also working with surrounding police forces as these offences are not

confined to Humberside. If at any time you become suspicious of any persons please telephone the police. It is far

better that we know at the time in order that we can make checks and also to forward onto surrounding police

areas as soon as possible, as it is quite usual for such people to frequent other areas during the course of their

activities. Just because the people you see appear to look like they are legitimate this may not be the case so

Humberside police do encourage local communities to report anything that on the face of it does not appear

normal.

We have leaflets which contain advice for parents and riders of the various bikes being used off road. Please

contact PC Starbuck if you wish to have one delivered to you or you can call in at Epworth Police Station when the

front counter service is available by a member of staff, generally on a Monday or Thursday during 0900 to 1500hrs,

to avoid a wasted journey it may be prudent to call on 101 to check that the front desk service is running that

particular day.

Calls for persons trespassing on land with dogs had dropped recently, but this does not mean we have seen the last

of such persons. Countrywatch has seen an increase in numbers on the Isle and this is open to membership from

farmers, landowners and other land users. This membership also includes access to a text messaging service which

warns of information pertinent to those members, for example hare coursers, deer poaching, and theft. Anyone

wishing to join please contact PC 1839 Starbuck for further information and an application form. We have

now also got members joining from just outside the Humberside Police area and we encourage everyone to

promote the scheme and new members are always welcome. We are also looking at whether there is sufficient

interest to launch a Horsewatch scheme to run alongside and under the banner of Countrywatch. It would involve

attending a meeting in Epworth held every 3 months and other benefits to be finalised if interest is sufficient. If

anyone is interested in becoming part of this please contact PC Tina Starbuck, details below

Any on-going matters or suspicious activity can be reported on the new Local police telephone number of 101 OR,

if any information is to be passed then please feel free to e-mail the Neighbourhood team using the details below;-

[email protected] [email protected],uk

[email protected] [email protected]

Wroot Crime Prevention.

Calls for service to the village of Wroot saw a rapid rise in December, where offences included thefts and non

dwelling burglaries over a period of time during the night.

UPDATE; The amount of crime reported has reduced and we are grateful for all the phone calls we have received

and the information the residents have given. Please remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to the Police.

Isle Group of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust

Philippines Wildlife Conservation

Rachel Shaw will be entertaining us on Thursday April 5th at 7.30pm when she will be telling us about

her visit to the Philippines. Rachel works for the Lincolnshire Trust as Publicity Officer and she has

travelled to other parts of the world, both to walk and look at conservation so this promises to be an

interesting evening. We will also be having a very short AGM.

Slug Workshop

On Thursday May 3rd at 7.30pm Chris de Feu will be telling us everything there is to know about slugs

and people who have already been to this workshop have said that it is very interesting so don’t be put off

by the title. To many people slugs are just pests that should be destroyed but perhaps there is another

side to them, do they have a purpose? There are several different types of slugs and we are asking those

who come along to bring some with them if possible. We look forward to seeing you and your slugs

on May 3rd.

All our indoor meetings are held in the Stephen Jones Hall at the rear of the Methodist Chapel, Low

Street, Haxey on the first Thursday of the month at 7.30pm and everyone is welcome, you don’t have to

be a member. There is a small admission charge of £1 and there is a raffle and refreshments.

Don’t forget that bird food is always on sale at our indoor meetings and at Geoff’s house in Belton, at

very competitive prices, just ring if you need anything. For further information about the local Trust group

and their meetings please contact Geoff or Chris Trinder on 01427 872051. We look forward to

welcoming all regular members and new visitors.

Haxey Parish Heritage Trail

Haxey Library

The Library in Haxey is a valuable asset to the community to which we should give our full support. To this end the

Parish Council has formed a Working Group to consider, in conjunction with North Lincolnshire Council, possible

ideas for enhancing the role of the Library. In the meantime, we would encourage residents to join the Library and

use the facilities available which include access to the internet.

398 Belton to Gainsborough Bus Service

Following the proposal to withdraw the 398 bus service, Cllr Allcock, Ward Councillor had discussion with North

Lincolnshire Council who has tendered the service and a new agreement has been reached with Stagecoach for

them to continue to operate the service. There has been a change of departure time from Belton; the service will

start at 0945 hrs from Tuesday 3 April 2012.

Bus time tables have been placed on the parish notice boards and the Parish Council website for your information.

Parish Plan

Haxey Parish residents will recall the decision the Community took in 2009 to produce a Parish (Community Led)

Plan, aimed at setting out the vision and development of their local area over a 5 year period. The research for the

Plan took place over an 18 month period and was supported by Officers from North Lincolnshire Council (NLC)

and Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council (HWRCC), culminating in the production of the document in

June 2010. The Plan’s progress has been monitored and actioned through the work of the Parish Plan Action

Group(PPAG) and at its meeting in February, it was decided to hand over responsibility to the Parish Council (PC),

with the formation of a Parish Plan Working Group of Councillors, which will continue to be open to residents. The

overall analysis of opinion in the Parish Plan revealed that the majority of residents were mostly content with the

environment and their lives in the Parish. Many thought it a friendly place to live with a real sense of community

and they liked the quiet rural setting. Reference was also made to the excellent local facilities, including schools,

The Haxey Parish Heritage Trail has

now been completed with two main

information boards having been

installed at Westwoodside (Park)

pond and in front of the church,

together with 20 local information

signs at points of interest. Leaflets

will soon be available to guide people

around the trail.

doctor’s surgeries, village halls and playing fields; however, there were issues raised and these formed the basis of

the subsequent Action Plan, which set out the problem; how it would be tackled; the priority; the timescale; those

responsible and any resource implications. Timescales for actions varied from short term out to 2015; however, it

should be noted that there was no extra funding provided by any Agency for the implementation of the Plan. The

full Action Plan is set out in the Parish Plan document, which is available on the PC web-site. Progress to date has

been excellent and of the 54 Actions identified over half have now been completed. Current progress and

planned ways forward on issues is summarised as follows: Roads, Traffic and Transport. Road, traffic and

transport issues were considered highly important to residents and since the publication of the Plan, the Parish has

seen the periodic installation of flashing speed signs around the local area and the more frequent enforcement of

speed restrictions by the Police. The approach to Westwoodside along Doncaster Road will shortly have the

speed limit reduced and there continues to be a lobby on NLC to reduce the speed limit adjacent to schools to 20

mph. Car parking is still a concern, particularly in Haxey along Church Street and Greenhill; however, liaison with

the Police, NLC and local residents is continuing in the hope of improving the situation. The poor state of roads

and pavements remains a problem and whilst there has been some success with the resurfacing of Akeferry Road,

consultation continues with NLC Highways to ensure the Parish is correctly prioritised for repairs; however, with

the current lack of available funding the situation is unlikely to improve in the near future. Public and Community

Transport is under continual review and the PC and Ward Councillors are well aware of the issues, which are

being addressed, with the relevant authorities, where possible. Bus timetables and stops are recent areas

consulted on.

Housing and Development. The feedback from residents on housing and development was straight forward:

restrict housing development in certain locations e.g. Greenfield sites and gardens and ensure that new housing

comprises a mix of types, size and tenure. The PC has continued to reflect these opinions in its recommendations

on Planning Applications and the NLC Local Development Framework; moreover, it will continue to promote

these views in future consultations with the Principal Authority. An Affordable Housing Needs Survey was carried

out in March 2011 in consultation with HWRCC and NLC. The findings of this survey, which had a 21% response

rate from residents, concluded that: the recommended mix of affordable housing for Haxey Parish is a scheme of

16 homes with 14 homes for rent and 2 for shared ownership with the mix of 4 X 2 bedroom bungalows; 6 X 2

bedroom houses; 2 X 1 bedroom flats and 4 X 3 bedroom houses. There has been little further progress on this

issue since the survey, principally due to the lack of available funding or interest from local Housing Associations.

Environment. The Parish continues to support the CPRE Best Kept Village Competitions and last year

Westwoodside Playing Fields won the Best Playing Fields category. Litter picking has taken place over the past

year and the PC continues to provide hanging baskets around the Villages and the now appointed Parish

Handyman is involved in planting schemes to improve the look of the Parish. A Heritage Trail has been developed

with funding from the PC and LEADER and has now “gone live” this spring. Flooding continues to be a major

concern to the Parish and following lobbying from the Local Drainage Board and a Ward Councillor, Policy 4 has

now been adopted in the Trent Catchments Flood Management Plan, which will provide improved flood defences

for the area. The Isle of Axholme Flood Strategy document, the Low Burnham Flood Relief and Haxey Village

Drainage schemes have all been completed. Dog fouling is an ongoing issue in the Parish and the PC is working

with NLC to ensure that there are sufficient bins provided around the Villages and clean-up is enforced.

Local Facilities. Following the recent reprieve for Haxey Library, work continues with Ward Councillors and

NLC Cabinet Members to develop the facilities provided by the Library. These could include using the Library as

a focal point for the assessment of resident’s needs in relation to NLC services. The PC has drafted a Community

Emergency Plan, which is nearing completion and has also stockpiled a limited supply of Floodsax to be used in any

localised flooding events. A limited supply of salt and grit, to be used to support supplies provided by NLC around

the Parish, has also been stockpiled.

The Community. Liaison with the Police on the tackling of local crime problems is ongoing; the inauguration of

a local Farm Watch has proved successful and the encouragement of Neighbourhood Watch schemes and the well

attended, regular, Safer Neighbourhood Meetings continue. The PC is implementing an improvement package for

it’s’ website and plans are in place for the updating and provision of a Parish Directory during the year.

In summary, since the publication of the Haxey Parish Plan in June 2010, there has been considerable progress

made in implementing identified actions. Work will continue to complete any outstanding issues over the next

few years; however, with the recent disbandment of the PPAG, responsibility for the Action Plan moves to a PC

Working Group which will be able to co-opt residents to assist with further implementation and any subsequent

updating. On behalf of the community, thanks are extended to the members of the original group, who were

responsible for the data gathering and publication of the Parish Plan and to the PPAG who carried out the initial

implementation. Without the considerable effort of these groups, the Plan, which is considered an excellent

document by the Principal Authority and HWRCC, would not have been produced.

The Isle of Axholme Where You Live Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

THE AXHOLME JOINT RAILWAY A number of railway schemes for the Isle of Axholme were mooted in the 19th century. One

of the suggested London to York routes was to have been through the Isle, but nothing came of it. During the 19th century there were about 200 separate railway companies at one period.

To build a new railway, a Bill had to be put before Parliament. This was costly and time consuming. Rival companies that sometimes ended in the schemes being dropped could raise

objections.

In 1846 George Hudson, the ‘Railway King’, promoted the idea of the Axholme, Gainsborough and York & North Midland Junction that was intended as a link between York and the Eastern

Counties Railway. The plan had to be submitted to Parliament, but the House of Lords rejected

this. In 1847 there was a proposal to build a railway from Gainsborough through Axholme to

Askern, but the idea never materialised. In 1878 the Great Eastern Railway sought an extension of its system into the lucrative Yorkshire coalfield by proposing the construction of a

line to Askern through part of the Isle of Axholme. The Great Northern Railway opposed this scheme.

In 1883 the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway put the idea of a tramway forward. It was to have a 3’ 6” gauge and was to run from Haxey to Eastoft. This again never

materialised.

In 1896 the Light Railways Act was passed which facilitated the provision of railways in rural areas. It permitted the construction of a line under a Board of Trade Order, instead of seeking

Parliamentary permission. In 1898 the Goole and Marshland Light Railway scheme, to build a railway from Goole to Reedness, Eastoft and Addlingfleet, was confirmed. The Isle of Axholme

Light Railway scheme was proposed in the same year. It was to run from Haxey north to link with Goole and Marchland railway. In 1899 the Board of trade confirmed the scheme

authorising the construction of 22 miles and 6 chains of railway. The line was to run from Haxey Station on the Great Northern and great Eastern Joint Railway north through Haxey,

Epworth, Belton and Crowle to Reedness. A four and half mile branch line was built from

Epworth north, down to Hatfield Moors. By 1902 both the Goole and Marshland and the Axholme Railway had been taken over by

the North-Eastern Company (N.E.) and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L. & Y.) – hence the name Axholme Joint Railway (N.E. and L. & Y.).

In 1922 the North Eastern Company became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (L.N.E.R.).

The Lancashire and Yorkshire railway became part of London and North Western, which in turn

became part of London, Midland and Scottish

(L.M.S.). Thus the Axholme Joint Railway continued, but it became a L.M.S. and L.N.E.R. Joint. The

Transport Act of 1947 brought the Axholme Joint Railway under British Railways (North-Eastern

Region).

WESTWOODSIDE Church of England SCHOOL

Celebrating Strengths Update

We are now 7 months into building a Strengths Based School and we would like to share our journey so far with

you. I am delighted to say that ‘Celebrating Strengths’ activities have flourished in all year groups from F1 (Nursery)

to Year 6 ( 11 year olds ). Using storytelling, celebrating festivals and noticing and building on children’s strengths

to compliment the existing curriculum, our school is developing a strong strengths based ethos.

Year Groups

Our youngest children in school can talk with confidence about their individual ‘top strength’, whether it be

creativity, friendship, love of learning or one of the many others and because each strength has an accompanying

British Sign Language action as they talk about the strength they are able to do the action. Years 1 and 2 have used

Celebrating Strengths themes recently to great effect in their class assemblies and included some thoughtful ideas

and lively drama. Our Year 3 to 6 classes have used different strengths to focus on as part of the weekly theme and

included storytelling and discussions about strengths in their planning.

A 10 year old pupil, Georgia told me about a really interesting idea they have in their Year 5 class:-

‘We have a ‘Kindness Catcher’ in our class. The kindness catcher is a box and every week we notice people who

have been shown the strength of Kindness. We write down their names on a piece of paper and how they have

been kind and then our teacher, Mrs Harris reads them out at the end of the week. It makes us into a very kind

class.’

The Festival of Easter

At the end of March we were delighted to welcome

back Belinda Catt, a ‘Celebrating Strengths’ consultant

to lead 2 very special whole school assemblies linked to

the Life of Jesus. At the start of the day the assembly

focussed on the ‘Road to Jerusalem’ and in the

afternoon the assembly ‘Celebrated the Resurrection’

by inviting the children to walk along a daffodil lined

‘road’, at the end of which each person was presented

with a chocolate egg. A lovely experience for us all,

with many memories to take away from it.

Photographs

It was difficult to select photographs showing Strengths

as we have so many. Here are a selection :-

Three F2 children showing their strengths of Friendship

and Teamwork as they play together

A group of Year 2 children showing the strength of

Creativity and Love of Learning during a recent

Passport Day

Year 3 / 4 children found out about the Festival of Holi

and the Strengths of Love and Forgiveness

So as we move through the year our whole school’s

aim is to continue to grow and develop in a

‘Celebrating Strengths’ community recognising our

own strengths and the strengths of others.

Girls’ Under 11 North Lincolnshire Cup

On Thursday 1st March, Westwoodside girls’ football

team took part in a tournament alongside other

Schools from North Lincolnshire. The team had

already won their competition at South Axholme

School and went on to also win this tournament. The

team played brilliantly and showed a fantastic attitude throughout all the games.

Well done to all our players who are now the champions of North Lincolnshire!

HAXEY AND WESTWOODSIDE

HERITAGE SOCIETY MEMBERS

MEETING - 8TH. MARCH 2012.

Welcoming members to the March meeting of the Society

the chairman apologised for the cancellation of February’s

Villages of the Isle talk by Mr. John Roberts and Mr George

Fiddler, this had been due to the poor weather conditions

and the talk would now take place at the Society’s July

meeting.

Members also heard of the death and funeral of past Society

member Mrs. Peggy Knowles.

Details of the Parish Council’s Diamond Jubilee

celebrations were made available and chairman Jackie Starr

outlined the Society’s own celebration plans, which were

an indoor ’Street Party’ 1950s style, members were invited

to bring along memorabilia of the period and to dress in an

appropriate style.

Introducing the evening’s speaker, the well known Mr. Geoff. Trinder, the chairman said that she was

not too sure what to expect from his title of ‘Wild Life of North Lincolnshire’.

Members were in fact, by means of a range of colour slides, given an introduction to the wild Flora and

Fauna of the local countryside.

Geoff. Deputy Chairman of the Lincolnshire Wild Life Trust explained that Lincolnshire possessed many

Reserves including beaches, salt marshes, heathland reedbed and grassland and that although some

appear to be natural landscapes they were man made and that when lands were acquired by the Trust

these were managed in order to return the habitat to its original condition.

Ranging through wild flowers, insects, snakes and both resident and migrant birds Geoff. explained how

populations of these could become almost extinct but often had the amazing ability to recover

especially where the right conditions were created.

Discussing the management and habitat of woodland that had been donated by well known Haxey

doctors Green and Dyson Geoff explained that this area was particularly favourable to wild life due to

it’s large amount of wetland.

Giving a thought provoking finale to his presentation Geoff. said that as we are all part of the natural

world that if we destroy the wild life we will destroy ourselves.

Mrs. Pam Johnson then gave the vote of thanks, refreshments were served and the meeting closed.

The next meeting of the Society will be on Thursday, 12th. April when Society member Mr. Malcolm

Dolby will give a talk on ’The Mayflower Pilgrims’.

Driving in the countryside Dear Readers, Driving on country roads requires an entirely different set of skills to driving in congested towns.

Rural roads are arguably the best place to exploit your driving abilities and get the most enjoyment out

of your driving. Traffic is usually light, you can use your observation skills, the roads are more interest-

ing and you’ll have to make well-judged overtakes.

The same level of planning and concentration is required but you’ll be dealing with an entirely different

set of hazards and sources of information.

You will need all the selective observation skills you have developed but also consider…

Taking extra care in case people or vehicles suddenly appear around corners, drive out of isolated field

entrances, farm drives etc, especially on 60mph roads.

Looking well ahead (over the hedges, where possible) to spot oncoming traffic in the distance, especially

trucks and tractors. Also look for potential overtaking zones and plan your arrival time to coincide with

a gap in the oncoming traffic.

Livestock in the fields might indicate that there may be mud on the road and you should also always be

prepared to encounter a flock of sheep around the next bend.

The line of hedges, trees, or telegraph poles often denotes the direction the road may take around the

next bend. Use this to your advantage.

Don’t swerve uncontrollably if an animal or bird darts out in front of you. Better a broken fog light or

dented bumper than a total loss of control and a

serious accident.

Holes in hedges are often found on particularly

sharp or tightening bends, and are usually created

by some unfortunate driver who has overshot

the corner and gone straight on. Treat them as a

reminder to take care and to keep control of

your speed.

Have a Free Public Assessment Drive.

As I said in last months Arrow, the Doncaster

Advanced Motorists Group is offering free public

assessment drives this month for anyone with a

current full driving licence. The drive will be in

your own car and the vehicle and you must com-

ply with all current road traffic regulations, MOT,

Insurance, etc: A document check will be made

before the drive.

All readers who wish to have a free taster of

advanced driving please contact me on the num-

ber below to book your drive, this means you

ladies too

TRENTSIDE FEDERATION – St Martin’s and West

Butterwick Church of England Primary Schools – School

News

As well as all of the core curriculum studies linked to Maths and Literacy this term, we have had some diverse

and exciting learning experiences across both schools.

As part of our schools’ aim to introduce the children to a range of cultures over the Primary years, we invited

Culture Connect in for a Maasai Experience. It proved to be an interesting and colourful experience that

provided the children with opportunities to learn about the Maasai culture through dressing up in costume,

making cultural crafts, tasting delicious African food, hearing exciting eye-witness stories, exploring symbolic

artefacts and participating in lively music, chants and dance. Workshop leader Valerie Taiwo talked to the

children about the different East African countries and how their culture was different to our own. The children

dressed up as Maasai men and women and also performed traditional Maasai Tribe Dances. In the afternoon, the

children designed Maasai shields, necklaces and dyed traditional kikoy fabrics to produce blue, white and red

patterns.

Following this, there were some treats in store for all pupils and staff who have an interest in things ‘creepy

crawly, slithery and slimy’ as a mobile safari visited West Butterwick school on February 21st. The children were

introduced to a range of exotic creatures – molluscs, reptiles, mammals and insects from around the world.

Children handled giant African Land Snails, a Royal Python, a large Dragon Lizard and many more fascinating

creatures. This day also encouraged the children to consider the science of why their particular habitats suited

the animals’ characteristics, as well as broadening their knowledge of world geography. The snakes and Dragon

Lizard were most popular!

Bringing the learning back to a ‘local’ level, pupils at Owston Ferry were visited by three members of the village’s

Sports Club – Ian Woodcock, Steve Lilly and Ged Rule. The children had been invited to submit their design

ideas for a new Sports Club Sign and this resulted in one overall winner (Charlotte Thornton age 8) as well as

runners-up ; Abigail Platt, Jack Foreman, Callum Gallagher, Luke Longhorn, Owen Woodcock and Hannah

Thornton. The winners were presented with gift vouchers, but the best prize of all was seeing Charlotte’s

striking design transferred on to the actual large Club Sign which will be on permanent display in the village!

Last Autumn Term, we were very pleased to be able to take part in the historical project linked to the

repositioning of the baptismal font at St Andrew’s Church in Epworth. Over the last two terms, Junior pupils

made a series of line drawings depicting aspects of local knowledge and features. A number of our children’s tiles

have been selected for the Heritage Pavement to be created as part of this project. The tiles were inspired by

‘the uniqueness of the Isle of Axholme’. Congratulations to Sam Smith, Saskia Heighington, Thomas Latham, Ben

Carby, Anna Layton, Holly Lindley, Harry Watts, Ellie Hughes, Jasmine Watson, Lily Todd and Macaulay Scott

whose tiles were chosen from both St Martin’s and West Butterwick. The children have made an important and

memorable contribution to the living history of St Andrew’s and our locality – we hope that these wonderful tiles

last for hundreds of years to come!

On Monday 5th March, St Martin’s school welcomed two very important guests – the Mayor and Mayoress of

North Lincolnshire. This visit was in connection with

the hard work undertaken by the School Council and

the pupils on the ‘Litter Busting’ work. The school is

now applying for its Silver Eco Schools Award and we

are then looking forward to ‘going for gold’. The Mayor

and Mayoress presented the prizes for our ‘Design a

Sculpture’ from recycled rubbish competition, as

organised by the School Council. Overall winner was

Ellie Wilkinson with her wonderful elephant watering

can made up of an old milk carton and some cardboard

tubes. We had a range of imaginative entries. One, a

recycling robot design, even contained an electrical

circuit so that its mouth and eyes lit up when its nose

was pressed! Many thanks to Councillor Jan Williams of

Owston Ferry Parish Council who donated the gift

vouchers for prizes. All runners-up received Easter

Eggs, so everyone was a winner! It was a thoroughly

enjoyable and thought provoking project that enabled us to see rubbish in a different light!

1st

. Isle of Axholme B.P. Scout Group

From Tots to Teens, the scouting experiences help youngsters to developed self-confidence and learn

many skills. The 1st Isle of Axholme group is part of the Baden Powell Scout association

(www.traditionalscouting.co.uk/) and is based in Westwoodside village hall.

The Scouting journey starts as children approach their 6th birthday, when they can join the Beaver Col-

ony and continues through to their late teens as they progress through Wolf Cubs, Scouts and Senior

Scouts.

The Beavers meet at 6pm. each Tuesday evening in term time and it is our objective to develop self confi-

dence and life skills with a programme of activities, based in the Westwoodside Village Hall and, as impor-

tantly, out in the surrounding countryside. The local woods, turbarys and peat moors provide an exciting,

yet safe, environment for the youngsters.

In this last year, amongst many other activities,

they have explored the Lindholme peat moors.

They learnt all about rearing beef cattle and

sheep with a visit to Gill and David Carr’s

herd. In the Autumn we had a BBQ night in a

local wood where they all cooked their own

suppers.

Each July we hold our annual “Beavers and

Parent” camp in an oak wood near Caistor.

Last year the weather was perfect, and every-

one enjoyed exploring the local woods, a camp fire and lots and lots of good food.

We do have a few vacancies for the start of the summer school term. To learn more about joining this

active and progressive group at any age, contact Tony Lee on 01427 753023 ([email protected])

1 International B414, 2 countries, 6 blokes, 7 days, 12 MPH, 600 miles, £10,000 target! �

On Saturday 30th June 2012 a group including myself and 3 sons, James,

Alastair and Joshua , will depart from our home village of Wroot in

North Lincolnshire for the sunnier climes of Western France driving in

relay a vintage 1964 International B414 tractor!

Our destination is an old Farmhouse close to the village of Breuil Bernard near to the small town of

Moncoutant in the department of the Deux Sevre, Western France. We bought the old place a few years

ago and decided in due course to emigrate and settle there. James (my eldest) decided that to successfully

make the transition and settle in Breuil Bernard I would need an old tractor. Some men take up golf, some

men take up fishing apparently I am taking up old tractors!

The event is set to commence on Saturday 30th June in harness with Marie Curie Cancer Care. Cancer

has no geographical boundaries and does not stop at the English Channel. Last year our French friends

Alain and Monique Fievre lost a member of their family, and my sons lost their Uncle Brian to cancer

whilst my sister-in-law is desperately fighting the ravages of liver cancer Sadly the problem is around us all.

The event will be preceded the week before when the tractor will lead a parade at the Lincolnshire Show,

in conjunction with the Lincolnshire Young Farmers Club. The channel crossing will take place early in the

morning Wednesday 4th July from Weymouth to St Malo via a 5 hour stop in Guernsey.

Marie Curie is a registered charity no 207994 (England & Wales), SCO38731 (Scotland). Marie Curie

Nurses help patients have the choice to live out their final days at home, by providing free care to people

with terminal cancer and other terminal illnesses, in their own home. In addition The Marie Curie

organization run a number of Hospices around the UK, free for those with cancer or other terminal

illnesses. For further information regarding the charity please contact Stuart Wyle on 01476 576000 or

[email protected]

Please can you help. You can donate by visiting our website: www.thenashdash.com for further

information, there is a link to donate via just giving. If you prefer you can send a cheque made payable to

Marie Curie Cancer Care, this can be sent direct to Marie Curie Cancer Care , Lincolnshire Fundraising
