Regional Success for Hatfield Fliers Basketball Club. During the last three months the Yorkshire Under 17`s, 15`s and 13`s squads have played in their

respective National Tournaments.

This year ten players from the Fliers have been included in these teams.

Alison Hoyle, Evie Smythe and Hayley Dodsworth helped the Under 17 team to a creditable fourth

place out of the ten teams competing. Rosie Taylor and Sunny Williams were both selected for the

Under 15 team which also came fourth while the Under 13 side saw six players involved which is a

record for the club. Well done to Lydia Harrison, Lydia Coote, Katie Bagnall, Frankie Middleton,

Ava Gillies and Darcia Fitzpatrick-Long on their selection. The team which was probably the least

experienced side ever to go to the National Tournament came fifth winning three games and losing

only to the two finalists.

Our picture shows the players attending a National League practice at Ash Hill Academy.

Names in order

Back row Rosie Taylor, Alison Hoyle Hayley Dodsworth, Lydia Coote, Lydia Harrison, Darcia

Fitzpatrick-Long

Front row Sunny Williams, Katie Bagnall, Evie Smythe, Frankie Middleton, Ava Gillies.

The club is now in the middle of their National league programme with teams competing at both

Under 16 and Under 18 age groups.

Last weekend saw the Under 14 team play for the first time winning both games in a triangular tournament held at Menwith Hill American High School near Harrogate.



On Behalf of the Twinning committee ( Hatfield/Merksplas ) and in respect of the fund raising evening ( Spanish night )

held on Tuesday the 4th December I would like to thank Delia and Phil, licencees

of the Blue Bell for allowing us the use of their premises and for providing the

food (free-of-charge) and also to the entertainers:- Ramone and Francisco, who

also gave their services free.

The evening was a great success and this mainly due to the amount of people who

came along and supported the night. I believe everyone went home very happy

having enjoyed both the food and the entertainment.

We raised a sum of £301's all of which will go towards Cultural exchanges,

thereby benefiting groups such as schools, football teams etc

NO councillors nor committee members will benefit in anyway whatsoever from

funds raised. Hoping that the community will support any further fund raising

events which may be held.

Thank you all again. Gordon Harper.

NORTH EAST DONCASTER

CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU

Advice Column

I took out a pay day loan to get me to the end of a tight month. I thought I’d be able to

pay it back quickly, but the interest rate is high and it’s making my debt problems

worse. The money goes straight out of my bank account so I’ve got no choice but to

pay. I’m worried I have to take out another loan to cover the payments – what else can

I do?

Pay day lenders make their money from high interest rates and the fact that people often can’t pay

back their instalments. Don’t be tempted to take out another loan or to “roll over” your existing

loan, which pay day lenders often offer as a quick solution. This will be more expensive in the long run.

When you took out the loan you will have agreed for the company to automatically take a certain

amount from your account (through something called a continuous payment authority). Most people

think that it’s up to the company making the withdrawals to stop them – this isn’t true. Your bank

must stop these payments if you ask them to, so get in touch with your bank straight away.

The next step is to organise a realistic repayment plan and prioritise other debts. North East

Doncaster Citizens Advice Bureau can help you do this. We regularly negotiate repayment plans for

customers who are struggling with unfair pay day loans (and other debts) which mean that they can

pay them back without getting caught in a debt spiral.

If you’ve got other debts, it’s really important to prioritise the ones that are most important to pay

back quickly. These include your mortgage or rent, gas and electricity, and council tax. You can find

detailed advice on which debts to prioritise at the Adviceguide website: http://

www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/debt_e/debt_help_with_debt_e.htm

An increasing number of people are turning to pay day loans in these tight times, so you’re not

alone. To make sure that people aren’t getting treated unfairly, Citizens Advice are monitoring how

well pay day lenders are sticking to their Good Practice Customer Charter. You can play an

important part in helping us monitor their behaviour by filling in the survey at

www.adviceguide.org.uk or when you visit the bureau. You’ll also find advice and template letters to

send to the pay day loan company and to the financial ombudsman if you’ve been wrongly treated.

The crucial thing is to take action now, while you’re still in control of your finances. © Citizens

Advice

HATFIELD WOODHOUSE AMATEUR GARDENING

SOCIETY(HWAGS).

The last meeting of 2011 was held on Tuesday 4 December at Hatfield Woodhouse

Working Men's Club. At this meeting we were splendidly informed about Japnese Maples

(Acers) by Pat Gibbons and Lorraine McLarnon of the Hippopottering Nursery in East

Lound (www.hippopotteringmaples.co.uk). This was an evening bursting with information

and entertainment.

The nursery was founded as a hobby in 1982 by Pat's father John Gibbons, and developed

into a full time occupation 1986. John Gibbons was helped by his wife Margaret and by

correspondence with J D Vergrees of Oregon USA. Pat joined her mother in the nursery

11 years ago, and took over in 2006. After this introduction to the business, we were

given chapter and verse on how to look after Japanese maples and this is summarised

here.

Maples are not very tolerant when the roots are disturbed in the growing season. If the

plan is to keep the maple as a patio specimen, sink the plastic pot/tree into an ornate

planter, top dress to hide the plastic pot and water well. Re-pot from November to

March, but avoid over potting. Re-potting is normally only necessary every two to three

yearners, because root growth is slow. In the open garden the tree should be planted in

the doormat months when the ground is not frozen.

Maples likes plenty of water in the growing

season but they should not be waterlogged.

Also, they like to be sheltered from the

wind. Both laical of water and windy

conditions can lead to leaf loss in the

growing season, giving the appearance of the

tree dying. They usually recover and

produce leafy growth the following year. We

were also given information on feeding and

pruning.

There is lots more information on the

nursery's website.

There will not be a meeting of the Society in

January. The Society meets on the first

Tuesday of the month, and in January that is

New Year's Day.

We will meet on February 5 at the Working

Men's Club, when we will have a talk about

Carnations.

Wednesday Closed All Day

HOW TO GET YOUR BODY BACK IN 2013 The definition of a mad man is one who continues to do the same thing over and over again,

but expects a different result.

2013 is fast approaching. As I sit down to write this short piece, I am guessing that losing weight and

shaping up is not high on your list of things to do. I am also guessing, that come January 1st (if not a few

days before) you WILL be thinking about making some New Year Resolutions and correct me if I am

wrong, but some of them will be exactly the same ones you made last year, and possibly even the year

before. Do these ring any bells with you?

“I am going to lose weight”

“I am going to get fit”

“I am going to join the gym”

“I am going to start eating healthy”

“I am going to cut down on alcohol”

“I am going to stop smoking”

You see for most people, New Year’s Resolutions are a complete waste of time. We make them on

January 1st only to have broken them by January 15th. They all sound great, but a resolution is based on

what you THINK you should be doing rather than what you REALLY want to be doing. Forget about what

you or other people THINK you ought to be doing and look at what you REALLY WANT.

It may be that you REALLY WANT:

A healthier body

A leaner body

To have more energy than you have ever had

To know how to exercise properly for the best results

To feel happier

To feel more confident

To have higher levels of self-esteem

To be able to look in the mirror and FINALLY like what you see.

To feel proud of yourself again.

Over a third of resolutions don’t make it past January, and over ¾ are abandoned soon after. Why? Well

there are lots of reasons that are personal to the individual, but for me they fall into one main category –

NO COMMITMENT.

No commitment – often because you are talking about something that doesn’t mean enough to you or

that don’t really believe you can do. Resolutions often lack personal relevance that makes sure they run

out of steam way too quickly.

Sure, you may get an initial burst of motivation that gets you started, but it normally doesn’t last. What

you need is something more fundamental, more central and more important TO YOU. Something that

comes from the inside, something based on what is important and matters to you as an INDIVIDUAL.

So, sit back and have a think. Make confident choices based on what really matters to you. Once you have

decided what it is you really want, then go for it....jump in with both feet and give it 100%.

If you want to make 2013 the year when you finally get your health and your body back, then why

not join a team of like-minded women who are all striving for that very thing themselves. Add to that a

team of amazing fully qualified Fitness Trainers with over 30 years of experience between them to

motivate, inspire and guide you through 12 fat burning workouts, and a nutrition plan that absolutely

guarantees health and fat loss in just 28 days.

You can rest assured you are in expert hands.

Here is what Epworth Karen Jarvis had to say about her Isle Lose It journey –

“I’ve lost 21 lbs and 19 inches in just 8 weeks. How amazing. No starving and I was never hungry, not once. A great big thank you to Sue for my new life. I hope this inspires someone else to change their ways to a healthier life.”

I read a great quote by a fellow fitness professional the other day. It read:

“There are three types of person. Those that WATCH it happen. Those that MAKE it hap-

pen. Those that WONDER what happened.”

Karen was one of the ones that made it happen. You could do the same in 2013 – the choice

really is yours.


ANIMAL CARE FOR THE FUTURE

To help you slim down your pets and improve

their life expectancy Evolution runs a free Nurse

Weight Clinic offering practical realistic advice

and a free trial of Hills reduced calorie pet food

to get you started.

HAS YOUR PET

OVER-INDULGED

THIS CHRISTMAS?

FAT FACTS

Approximately 50% of UK pets are overweight mainly due to overfeeding, although age, breed or medical conditions may also contribute in a few cases.

60% of pets are never weighed.

Obesity is a serious health risk with proven links to, heart, liver & respiratory disease, arthritis, exercise intolerance, skin complaints, diabetes it also increases the risk of complications during surgery.

Feeding 1 small plain biscuit to a 10kg dog is the equivalent of a human eating a hamburger or a full 50g bar of chocolate!

IS MY PET AT RISK?

There are a few simple checks which if carried out regularly can help you prevent your pet becoming overweight.

Can you see and feel the outline of their ribs?

Is the indentation of your pet’s waist visible?

Does your pet appear slow to rise or have difficulty walking?

Are they sleeping more or showing a reluctance to exercise?

Do they tire easily or become short of breath?

Is your pet more irritable than usual? SLIMMING TIPS

The first step is to contact your vets to gain an understanding of what your pet’s ideal weight should be and also determine their level of fitness prior to increasing exercise.

Establish regular mealtimes and stick to them.

Use a measured scoop to give only the recommended daily amount.

Give treats of carrots/apples in small amounts instead of biscuits.

Change to a reduced calorie pet food.

Increase exercise – aim to walk your dog at least twice a day.

Reward pets by playing with them – throwing a ball etc.

If you’ve any chocolate left over from Christmas, NEVER feed it to your pets! It contains substances harmless to humans but toxic to dogs, which can result in vomiting, convulsions and in some cases death

Happy 2013 from all of the children at Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School!

There has been so much going on in school since our last report.

The biggest and best event was when Ben Parkinson came in to show us the video of his parachute

jump. We gave him a cheque for money that we raised for his charity in our Harvest Festival. He

also presented the awards in our weekly celebration assembly. The children really enjoyed seeing

Ben again.

Christmas has also been and gone. The whole school was decorated, with the classes making

different types of decorations such as: cards; pinecones; snow; calendars and Christmas tree

decorations. We broke up for the Christmas holidays on the 21st of December.

Of course we held our Christmas fair and concerts, including the KS1 ‘Cock-a-Doodle-Christmas’

show , the Christmas story from the point of view of the animals in the stable and KS2’s Christmas

carol concert.

Children in the choir in year 4 and 6 went to Dr Anderson’s Lodge on Monday 17th December

2012 to sing Christmas carols for the elderly who happened to be over the moon when we sang

‘Mary’s Boy Child’.

Year 5 went to Hatfield Methodist chapel to perform songs and poems with the children from

Coppice School. It was a special time with all the children signing in Maketon as they sang.

In year 6 we collected food from children across the school to give to a food bank, which supports

people who do not have enough money and food at Christmas time.

As it is a new year, all the classes are starting new topics:

FS2 are doing fairy tales and mythical creatures;

Year 1 are learning about D&T fairy tale pop up’s;

Year 2 will be learning all about Electricity and will be work collaboratively with Year 6 who are

looking at Energy;

Year 3 will be learning about a topic called ‘Sensoria’

Year 4 will be finding out about Egyptians;

Year 5 will be researching the 7 Wonders of the World.

Look out for the next edition for all the new updates.

Bye!

The Christmas half term is an ideal time to showcase the more creative and artistic talents of our

students. Ash Hill Academy’s annual Christmas Concert, which this year is scheduled for 20th

December, is a wonderful opportunity for our students, parents and members of our local

community to get into the festive spirit with a little help from the Academy Choir and our

numerous talented singers, musicians and actors. It is also an opportune time to provide

encouragement to members of the wider community to discover new or forgotten talents; to that

end, during December, Ash Hill Academy commissioned two talented local artists to put on sessions

for young parents at the Croft Family Centre in Dunscroft and at the Stainforth Family Centre. Four

sessions have been scheduled (two at each centre) creating pop up cards and learning new

decorating techniques, including felting and stitching, to create fabric hanging Christmas decorations.

The sessions have been heartily enjoyed by all those in attendance.

A number of our 6th form students are currently developing their personal and leadership

capabilities by helping to teach and inspire younger students in our community primary schools.

Currently, Nathan Thrower, Jessica Pilkington and Cameron Tomlinson are helping to support

Maths and English with Year 6 students at Hatfield Woodhouse Primary school and Emily Pearson is

supporting Maths at Sheep Dip Primary. In addition, a group of ten students are delivering two dance

workshops with year 5 students at Long Toft Primary. All these students will achieve an accredited

Leadership Award for their commendable efforts.


During December, thirty one of our students travelled

to Sheffield to enter the Doncaster Indoor Athletics

Championships at the English Institute of Sports. They

proved successful over a range of events and had a

terrific time.

Thinking ahead to next year - on Thursday 24 January 2013 at 4 p.m. a meeting will take place at Ash

Hill Academy for any members of the Community who would like to get involved, in any small way,

in setting up a Friends of Ash Hill Academy Association. There has already been an encouraging

response from parents of students and Academy staff – please feel welcome to come along.

Our next production is of the show ‘Annie’ on the 6th, 7th and 8th February 2013.

Tickets will be on sale in January priced at £4.50 (Adults) and £3.50 (Concession). We hope you

can join us on one of the evenings!

6th Form Performing Arts DRI Present Drop,

Friday 14 December 2012

Written by the 6th form group.

We have just come back from donating gifts to Doncaster Royal Infirmary Children’s Ward.

We raised the money by putting on a Performance for our community, which took a lot of hard

work and dedication, but the rewards were obvious after our fantastic experience. Our whole

performance group put a lot of time and effort into buying, donating and wrapping all of the gifts.

We then went into DRI and donated the gifts to the children . It was a very heart-warming occasion

as we saw the children’s faces light up as they unwrapped their gifts. The staff and parents were

overjoyed that we took the time to raise money, go out shopping to buy the gifts then bring them

into the ward.

The whole experience was very emotional not only for us but everyone involved. The feeling of

making a child’s Christmas, and

putting others less fortunate than

ourselves first was gratifying. We

couldn’t have done it all without our

Performing Arts Teacher ,Mrs

Marsh, as she has been a key factor

in this whole experience. We had

several talks about how to spend

the money with Mrs Marsh and she

took time to organise the trip to the

hospital, buy presents and drive us

there.

We really enjoyed the experience

and we are really glad we made

these links and hope the next group

of sixth formers might continue this

link in the years to come.

The Difference’s Top 10 Awards 2012.

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. A time for scarves,

mittens, de-icer and the Coca-Cola Christmas advert. More

importantly, it’s time I take the opportunity to say a big thank

you the people, businesses and organisations I feel have shown

great commitment and service to the community in the last 12

months. Please remember, if your name or your organisation is

not on the list, you better not pout, you better not cry. This is

merely my humble opinion. Besides, the winners only qualify

for a free packet of pork scratchings anyway. My recognition is

hardly a marketable seal of approval considering the amount of

rubbish I have written over the years.

Anyway, without further ado and in no particular order…

Janet and all the staff at the No 4 Café – I will admit that when Janet used to call into the

squash club when I worked behind the bar she had an amazing knack of getting my attention

regardless of how crowded the bar was. As well as being drop dead gorgeous, Janet and her

fabulous staff provide a bit of class to the High Street with the fab No 4 café. They also provide the

best bacon sandwiches in the whole of South Yorkshire – Fact!

Edith Mitchell – Just as Colin Hepworth is Mr Hatfield Woodhouse, Edith is Mrs Woodhouse. A

tireless worker in the attempt to save the Robin Hood pub, Edith is a long-serving member of the

local amateur dramatic group and has been a stalwart of the Village Hall Committee. I have such

fond memories of dad taking me down to the village hall to fold the Christmas raffle tickets along

with Edith, Colin, Betty, John Colwill and all the other committee members. Keep up the good work

Edith!

Mr & Mrs Pete Bullars – Pete Bullars and his Missus are fab! No argument at all. Both gave so

much time and energy to the Scouting and Girl Guide movement that they deserve a huge pat on

the back. Pete and the other scout leaders provided me with some of the best holidays and adventures that any young lad could wish for. Where else would you get a week in a tent in Wales,

fed twice a day, sample as much Swiss roll and custard as you want, get to sleep in a plastic bag and

have some great laughs with your mates - all for £15?

The staff of Gravels Fruit & Veg Shop – Station Road – In the current climate where we are

all addicted to supermarket shopping, the staff of Gravels are a breath of fresh air. Basically mum put

her foot down this year and insisted that I show them some recognition for the fact that they are

never miserable. They make people smile while they purchase their muddy spuds and above all else

work incredibly hard to ensure the Sunday dinners of Hatfield are packed with your five-a-day.

Tracey Hilton – Now I have to be careful here! If I wax lyrical about how fab I think Tracey is

without mentioning her hard-working staff I might end up getting a clip around the ear. However,

truth be told, I have always had a soft spot for Tracey and if I didn’t live in a barn beside my parents

and still have my mum wash and iron my shirts, I reckon I might be in there with a chance but oh no,

there is also the small problem of Tracey being married to Kevin. Tracey has had her trials and

tribulations in life and has shown great courage and endeavour to keep going, be a great mum and a

top business woman. Forget the Cruella de Vil look-alike on Dragon’s Den, they need to get Tracey


on there. Now that would be worth watching.

Barriecars – Forty years old this April and still going strong. This family run business is a credit to

Dunsville. Supplying petrol, quality used cars, MOT’s and plenty of other merchandise, Mick and his

family have kept the business going through some choppy times. Let’s be honest, there aren’t many

business that would survive four decades if they were crap. And now for a confession, and I just

can’t lie, Mick supplied me with a great value used car when mine went to car heaven and I was at

the point of killing anyone with loud headphones on public transport.

The Bay Horse Quizmasters – I would like to say a huge thank you to Bob Fotheringham, Ken

Phelps, Timbo Sweed and Archie who host the quiz nights at the Bay Horse. Ok, so they might get

the odd pint or three on the house but over the years this motley crew have put plenty of hours

into providing a great quiz service to the pub regulars and they deserve a thumbs up from yours

truly (especially for Bob who does the “serious” quiz on a Wednesday night when people can

potentially get upset over not finding a ‘lady’).

Andrew Cutts – Andy captained the village 1st X1 this year and successfully kept them in Division

1 of the Pontefract Cricket League. Despite losing some key players and having to rely on yours

truly for most of the season, Andy maintained a motivated side, made it entertaining and most of all

he successfully balanced his newly found love life with the demands of leading a cricket team. Well done Andy and I hope you enjoy your semi-retired status, it is well deserved. Hopefully one day

Andy will be able to spend some time coaching the junior players of HTCC.

John Chaplin – John is what is often termed a “grafter” for Hatfield Church. John cuts the grass in

the summer time, raises funds for the upkeep of the building and organises social events that provide

a much-loved community feel. Keep up the good work John!

At the time of writing this I would also like to say a big thank you for all the work that Derek

Garrett put into the communities of Hatfield and Hatfield Woodhouse, you will be sadly missed.

Finally, I would like to wish all the Arrow readers a very happy and prosperous 2013. Maybe one of

you will win the lotto, maybe we will have a world boxing champion in Jamie McDonnell, or

Doncaster Rovers might win the league. Perhaps we will have some proper Christmas lights? Could

the Bay Horse racing syndicate win the Scoop 6? More importantly, maybe I will find a decent

woman who can handle my stubborn ways. You never know what a new year can bring, after all

miracles do happen! Happy New Year Everyone !!

Travis St Lawrence. Celebrating Christmas Together.

During the week beginning Monday 26th November, we held an R.E week. This was where all the

children who attend Travis ST Lawrence have been incredibly busy learning about the Christmas

Story and the amazing birth of God’s Son. In the Foundation Stage (Reception and Nursery) the children have been focusing on Mary and baby Jesus and have created beautiful paintings. In Year 1,

they have been learning about the starry night, especially when the angels appeared with their

important message. Year 2 children have been creating art work around Mary and Joseph’s journey

to Bethlehem. The children in year 3 have been thinking about the roles of the angels in the story

and how they brought messages to the different people. In year 4 they have been focusing on the

other visitors to baby Jesus. Year 5 pupils have been thinking about the word peace and have

created an impressive ‘dove of peace’. Incarnation has been the focus for year 6 and the children

have used excellent artwork to demonstrate their learning.

Angels, angels everywhere.

In Year 3, we have been learning about angels and have been doing lots of work about them. The

angels visited during the Christmas Story to bring special messages to people. Angel Gabriel brought

the message to Mary and Joseph that Mary was going to have a baby who would be God’s son and

called Jesus. The Shepherds were frightened when they saw the angels because they lit up the dark

night sky. At first we described them and came up with some very interesting words such as,

incredible, holy and wondrous. We put the words into sentences and sketched a picture of an angel

on the paper. On the computer we thought about words which best described angels and once they

were printed out, we cut around the template of a wing. The next day we had a large coloured

piece of paper with a decorated angel shape and we stuck the wings onto the angel. The banner at

the top read “Glory to God”. We have been making peg angels, which need a lot of detail to make

them look beautiful. Squirrels are at the moment wrapping the wool around the body of the angel

and Badgers are decorating the angel’s skirts. The final activity was to paint an angel using lots of

swirly patterns.

We know that angels were made by God to be his messengers and are an important part in the

Christmas Story.

Jesus’ Visitors

In Year 4, we have been learning about Jesus’ visitors when he was born. The visitors were the

Wise men carrying their gifts for the new born king, the shepherds with their lambs and the angels.

We have been focusing on the shepherds and their long tiring journey to see the baby. We

described how the shepherds might have felt in the freezing cold winter. Once the angels had given

their message, the shepherds immediately left for their journey to Bethlehem. We also learnt about

the visitors, the wise men. We understand from reading the Christmas Story that the wise men

carried three gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh. We used collage materials to create a wise man

image for the display, by putting wool for their hair and head dress and rich looking material for

their clothing.

As part of Year 3’s work around Victorians, the children have

been planning a Secret Garden. They approached a local

builder, Pete Thompson, who very kindly donated all the

bricks to create the wall for the entrance of our garden. Once

the bricks had been delivered Mr J Heyes volunteered his

time to build the wall once the footings had been dug out by Andrew Reilly and Garry Cousins. Mr J Heyes worked

though the frostiest of mornings! Without their support this

garden would not have been possible. Thank you to all.


We now know that the wise men and shepherds were important because they were one of Jesus’

first visitors.

Taylor and Jake

Peace

Last week was our R.E. week. In year 5 we

had to make a massive dove using our hand

shape and on each finger and thumbs we

made an acrostic poem using the word

‘Peace’.

Charlotte said: “We got to write an acrostic

poem in the shape of hands to make a

beautiful dove!”

Also in art we made some colourful flowers

using stencils, pastels, pencils and also

scissors. We made our fingers very mucky

indeed! The flowers were very special and

magnificently attractive.

We have also been doing another type of

poem. We did our very own poem with

personification in, also based on peace.

Two very kind people would like to share

their ideas and comments.

Amelia said she loved R.E. week as she was

very enthusiastic and this was one of her

lines: “Peace smiled at me as it wrapped me

in a warm blanket of love”.

Alex said: “We wrote a poem about peace

and gave it human features”.

“What piece of personification would you

use?”

Amy and Lauren

Incarnation

For our work, in year 6, we have been

making a piece of artwork, to do with

incarnation. We have been looking at the

piece of artwork by Fernando Arizti called

“Incarnation”. Incarnation is all about Jesus

coming to earth to save us all. Christians

believe that incarnation is the miracle of

Christmas. God became human and was

born as Jesus.

Ellie said “I did an incredible art picture of

incarnation, it went on all week. I started it

5 times, but it was defiantly worth it as my

final product was brilliant.

Ellie and Jamie

Doncaster Advanced Motorists

Dear readers

Check your vehicle. Carry out the following Checks regularly: Get your vehicle serviced. That

way you know it won’t let you down even if the weather does Keep the cold out of your vehicle by

checking and replacing the anti-freeze in the radiator Most batteries last between two and four

years. Make sure yours is fully charged and replace it if you’re not sure it’s reliable. Lights can get

filthy with all the spray in winter weather. Keeping them clean and checking the bulbs regularly

means you’ll be more prepared for lower visibility and shorter days. Getting a better grip on the

road takes more tyre tread in wet or icy conditions. Ensure your tyres are inflated to the

manufacturers’ recommended pressure and have at least 3mm of tread depth.

Make sure your wiper blades aren’t worn so you can keep your windscreen as clean as possible for

the extra spray, ice and rain you get in winter Dirty windows and mirrors can make it hard to see as

the low winter sun hits. Make sure you keep them clean and free of ice and snow in colder weather.

And it goes without saying that your windows are clear and de-misted before you set off! Finally,

don’t forget to take a map with you for any unplanned diversions.

Driving in fog. Use dipped headlights so other drivers can see you. If it’s really foggy (less than

100m visibility) and you can’t see much, then switch your fog lights on. Switch them off once

conditions have improved so they don’t dazzle drivers behind you.

Fog is often patchy so try not to speed up as visibility improves. You could suddenly

find yourself back in thick fog further up the road. Driving in the rain. When the road’s wet, it can take up to twice as long to stop so it makes

sense to slow down when it’s raining. If your vehicle loses its grip, or

“aquaplanes”, on surface water take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. Don’t

brake or steer suddenly because you have no control of the steering or brakes.

Driving through ice and snow.

Check for snow on the roof of the vehicle before you drive off. It can slip down over the

windscreen and obscure your view. If your tyres are making virtually no noise this could be a sign

you’re driving on ice. If your vehicle skids depress the clutch and turn the steering wheel into the

direction of the skid. When the vehicle straightens steer along the road. Don’t brake – it will just

lock up your wheels and you’ll skid further.

In freezing conditions, look out for vehicles spreading salt, & snow ploughs.

Make sure you watch out for our salt spreaders in winter. They’ll indicate they are spreading salt by

flashing amber beacons and will drive at less than 40mph.

Don’t overtake these vehicles unless it is safe. The same goes for snow ploughs. Flashing amber

beacons mean they are likely to be clearing snow. Don’t overtake them unless

the lane you intend to use has been cleared. If you’re following any of these vehicles it’s

better to keep well back because snow or salt is thrown across the width of the road.

If you are interested in further information regarding the courses that we offer you will be able to

find this information by contacting.
