100th Birthday Treat Was Visit To

Old Rectory

When life-long Methodist Margaret Mackenzie was

asked what she wanted as a present for her 100th

birthday, the centenarian immediately replied that

she wanted to visit Epworth‘s Old Rectory Museum.

For the Grade 1 listed building is the birthplace of

John and Charles Wesley - founders of the

movement that went on to become the Methodist

Church - and Miss Mackenzie had never visited it

before.

―I was offered a trip in a helicopter to a ride in a

chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce but as I‘ve always

wanted to visit Epworth to see the Old Rectory

Museum and its gardens, that was my choice,‖ said

the Lincoln resident.

She was greeted by the museum‘s curator, Rev

Claire Potter, who presented her with a with a

commemorative plate, depicting the Old Rectory,

and a reusable shopping bag depicting the same

scene.

Miss Mackenzie lives in at Methodist home on

Lincoln‘s Stones Place and was granted her wish by

the Methodist organisation Seize The Day, which

works out of the home.

It grants wishes for residents on their birthday and

the organisers of Seize The Day were only too

happy to drive Miss Mackenzie to Epworth in North

Lincolnshire for her visit of a lifetime.

She is the daughter of the late Rev Finlay

Mackenzie, who was a Methodist minister, and was

brought to Epworth by Seize The Day volunteers

David and Sandra Clack, who live in Lincoln‘s

Doddington Park.

The fourth person to make the trip to the Old

Rectory was Miss Mackenzie‘s friend, Mrs

Rosemary Greetham, 90, who lives at North

Hykeham, near Lincoln.

St Andrew’s Church, Epworth

Heritage Pavement Individual members of the community or group

representatives who may be interested in helping

to create the pavement are invited to drop in for a

coffee between 10 am and 12 pm on

Saturday 13th November in St Andrew‘s Church

to discuss. There will also be a chance to talk to

the artists.

Doncaster Athletics Club need to

raise around £20000 in the next 12

months to replace ageing equipment, and to

purchase covers that will prolong the life of the

new equipment which is continually exposed to the

elements. To help us achieve this goal, we are

planning to hold a Grand Christmas Draw and are

seeking your help in creating a prize list that will

make the tickets a "MUST HAVE" item. Could you,

or your business, be prepared to donate anything

that can be added to our prize list? A holiday? A

TV? A Spa Day? A big hamper? Voucher?

A full list of prizes and donators will be published

in the Arrow Magazines with a distribution of

18000 copies. Top prizes and donators will be

printed on the 10,000 tickets. Doncaster AC will

be happy to participate in publicity with

photographs of winners receiving prizes from the

donators. Full details will also be published on our

website www.doncasterathleticclub.com

These prizes could help us raise half of our

required total, and help the large number of

excellent young athletes we have at the club by

maintaining the excellent facilities we have and that

they need, to become our future Olympic

Champions!

News, News, News, News, News, News, News...

A talk on the history and the cur-

rent role of the Yeomen of the

Guard – often mistakenly referred

to as Beefeaters – was given to

members of the Epworth Men’s

Society to mark the start of the

organisation’s 53rd winter pro-

gramme. The talk was given at the Society‘s annual dinner,

held at Belton Pavilion on Monday last week

(October 4), and was attended by about 40 mem-

bers and guests. ―The full title of the organisation is the Yeomen of

the Queen‘s Body Guard of Yeomen of the

Guard,‖ explained speaker Trevor Jones, himself a

serving Yeoman Warden for the past eight years. Mr Jones, of Manse Close, Cantley, in Doncaster,

explained that all Yeomen Wardens are volunteers

and have to be invited to join the Queen‘s body

guard. Their number, he explained, is just over 100

strong and their current role now is purely cere-

monial. He told members of the Society that the Yeomen

were formed following the Battle of Bosworth

Field in 1485, when Richard III was defeated by

Henry Tudor, who went on to become Henry VII

of England. The battle brought an end to the 40

year long War of the Roses between the house of

York and Lancashire.

Mr Jones, who had been a Regimental Sergeant

Major in the Royal Signals, told members of the

Society that the Queen‘s Body Guard of the Yeo-

men of the Guard is now the oldest Royal Body

Guard, and also the oldest military corps now

existing in this or any other country.

He went on to explain that the when Henry VIII

discontinued to use the Tower of London as his

main residence in 1502 a small contingent of Yeo-

men remained and it is they who have the nick-

name of ―Beefeaters‖.

―They are known as the Yeomen Wardens of the

Tower of London and not Yeomen of the Queen‘s

Body Guard,‖ stressed Mr Jones. Anyone interested in finding out more about the

Epworth Men‘s Society is asked to call Ken Bicker-

staff on (01427) 872288.

Epworth Police Report

The Two priorities for this ward are as follows:-

St Andrews Church area Epworth – Youths causing annoyance. There has

been identified recently a return to youths attending this area and causing

nuisance, theft, damage. This area has seen a period of improved quality of

life for both nearby residents and those using the play area and church.

However there has been a return to bad behaviour by a few people. The

Neighbourhood team will patrol and deal with any persons found or

reported to be in the area as they deem appropriate.

Update – Enquiries are being made with regard to crime prevention

possibilities with the Diocese. The new children‘s play area is near

completion.

Belton Playing Fields/Pavillion/Scouth Hut – Youths causing annoyance, arson and criminal damage - We are receiving

numerous calls regarding anti-social behaviour around the pavilion and park area. Damage has been caused and fires

have been set to bins, which is particularly worrying and potentially dangerous. Residents are encouraged to call in

reporting anything suspicious and to note descriptions of those involved and any vehicles up to no good.

Update – Enquiries are being made with regard to crime prevention possibilities.

The next police surgery for the Central Ward will be on Friday 22 October 2010 at 2pm and once again will be held

in the meeting room, School Close in Epworth. For those not familiar with this location it is off MOORFIELD

GROVE, EPWORTH. Please do come along and meet members of the Neighbourhood team who will be in

attendance and discuss with them your concerns about your community and where you live. If you are unable to

attend this meeting and you have any concerns you can alternatively e-mail PC 1839 Tina Starbuck at

[email protected] or PC 1169 Sally Jameson at [email protected] or

Police Community Support officer Stewart Pearson at [email protected] or via the police

contact number for non-emergency which is 0845 6060222 regarding any issue you would like raised.

These dates will also be advertised in the Epworth Bells and Arrow Magazine. We will endeavour to attend on these

dates unless other policing priorities prevent us from doing so.

Police Constable Sally Jameson will be attending the next Neighbourhood Action team meeting for the central ward

of the Isle of Axholme on Tuesday 7th December at the Village Hall, Belton. Members of the public can attend from

18.45 until 19.00 to speak to any of the Neighbourhood Action team members which include your local councillors

and representatives from your community. Alternatively if you cannot attend but wish a matter to be raised you can

contact the officer attending or your local parish councillor who will bring the matter to the meeting for discussion.

PC 1839 Starbuck attends and is actively involved in the Farmwatch scheme covering the south and central wards of

the Isle of Axholme. The scheme was set up with the involvement of local farmers from these wards. This was at the

request of a number of farmers to allow us to meet and discuss issues affecting their farms. The meetings were a

great success; however the last couple of meetings have had a poor turnout. Those farmers who have made the time

for a couple of hours still find it a benefit and PC Starbuck would encourage any farmer who either did attend or who

wishes to attend in the future to make a note of the next meeting in their diary – WEDNESDAY 3rd NOVEMBER

2010 at 8pm at the RED LION HOTEL, EPWORTH. The meeting only lasts at most a couple of hours. If you

require any further details please contact PC Starbuck. The farms within this area do suffer from theft of diesel as well

as poachers so it is vital that the farms work together with the local police to deter this from happening.

A male was evicted from his home by North Lincolnshire Homes after an application had been made through court.

Members from the Neighbourhood team located and dealt with two vehicles containing males and dogs in the

Epworth area and issued a Production notice for vehicle documents for one of the drivers and then the vehicles and

occupants were advised to leave the area.

Neighbourhood staff assisted on Sunday 3 October 2010 with the Isle Half Marathon.

With regards to Westgate Road, Belton and the issues raised concerning vehicles misusing the road. An update so far

has been that roads policing officers tasked to the location to deal with traffic matters, did identify 4 overweight

offenders, and the Casualty Reduction officer has dealt with the matters.

Please be reminded that the Police Station at Epworth is open to the public on Monday‘s and Thursdays between the

hours of 9am and 3pm. If our support officer who facilitates this is otherwise engaged then a notice on our door will

explain this and how to contact police.

The Isle of Axholme Where You Live Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

The Drainage of the Isle (continued)

The drainage of the Cornish tin mines greatly influenced the drainage of the Isle of Axholme. The introduction of pumping engines brought about a new era in the history of the drainage of the Isle. The first pumping engine was installed at Misterton Soss after the flood of 1828. In 1837 Sir Robert Sheffield installed an engine draining Butterwick South Moor. In 1858 Bull Hassocks pumping station was opened and Dirtness in 1867. At Dirtness the engine was renewed in 1928 and the present electrically driven pumps were installed in 1952. Other pumping stations include Snow Sewer, Candy Farm, Goodcop, Tunnel Pits (one of the newest, built in 1962) and of course Keadby, the key pumping station where most of the Isle’s water is pumped into the Trent. The present six Keadby pumps date from1940 and can lift 102 million gallons a day, through thirteen and a half feet each. The area drained by Keadby pumping station is 93,430 acres. Engineers of the Trent River Board are constantly making improvements to the drainage. In 1972 the Skyers drain west of Epworth Turbary was dug to feed a small pumping station into the South Level Engine Drain’ Some of Vermuyden’s original drains are still in operation with the modification such as: the New River Torne the New Idle Drain from Idle Stop to Dirtness Dutch River to Goole some dry channels from Pilfrey Bridge to Althorpe. Other items that can be seen in connection with the history of drainage include, the old course of the River Idle west of Tunnel Pits the old course of the Don in Eastoft village, and as marked on a two and half one inch to I mile map showing its course along parish boundaries. Vermuyden’s headquarters at Santoft – on the left well set back from the road near the crossroads.

Now & Then – Then & Now No. 19 By Anthony Catherall

This month and every month see Epworth in bygone days and compare to today’s images!

Joseph Bottomley the well-known photographer had his premises and studio in the High Street. He took this charming photograph in about 1903-4.

The postcard above is known to collectors as an animated postcard. In other words there are lots to see as your eyes scan over the picture. For example note the person standing in the road in front of the Red Lion. The notices and signs

on the original card outside the printing Works on the floor say ‘Estates’ while above to the right on the wall the sign says

‘Dyers’ and the man with the overall an employee has grey hair. The Pony rider may have come into town to visit Fields the Saddler, the shop to his left at No 11 High Street. Another

employee of the works with his apron and three other gentlemen were retained for the photographer to provide balance.

I took the photograph below on Sunday 13 June 2010. My bicycle leans against the newsagents as a customer leaves.

French Cinderella

European Day of Languages

On 24th September, 25 Year 9 pupils took part in the European Day of

Languages to celebrate the importance of language learning, cultural diversity and

above all, how fun learning a language can be. European Day is a popular event with many

countries taking part across the World.

Pupils took part in a variety of language based activities, including taster sessions in Spanish

and German, as well as quizzes in French.

The European food tasting session proved very popular. Pupils tasted a selection of

European food, including Swiss Gruyere, German Bockwurst and Scottish Haggis!

During the afternoon the group of pupils acted out scenes from Cendrillon (Cinderella in

French).

All staff and pupils taking part in the day were dressed in European themed outfits. Other

staff also got into the spirit, including the office and kitchen staff. Particular thanks to Mrs

Scaife, dressed as Princess Caroline of Monaco and Angie from the canteen, who was

dressed as a typical French man.

Due to the success of this second European Day of Languages, it has now become an

annual event.

The November issue of the Arrow has linked with local businesses to make

the run up to Christmas a cheaper and more pleasurable experience.

Whether you want to start (or in some cases finish) your Christmas shopping; complete DIY jobs,

pamper or treat yourself to a meal out, the Arrow has everything to save you money!

What could be more convenient than the shops that are there on our doorstop? Don‘t pass them by as if

they are somehow second rate. They are not. In fact convenience is only a part of the story as to why

they deserve our support. Here is a little food for thought...Jumping into the car and heading for that out-

of-town super store or shopping mall may seem a good idea. But it can end up a time-wasting, costly and

a frustrating experience. Time, they say, is precious. But how many hours are wasted in traffic jams, just

getting to your destination – and then driving round to find a place to park In the meantime, the pennies

you think you will save turn into pounds of extra expense.

If it‘s a friendly, personal service you are after, then there‘s nothing finer than a shop or business in the

Isle! Or maybe having someone come to you; there are plenty of mobile services out there for you to

enjoy! Such attention is a tradition that has its roots embedded in the history of each village and hamlet in

the area.

The recent economic downturn has also had an impact on the local economy, which is why it is more

important than ever to shop locally and support our local businesses. The growth of our villages in

recent years has seen an increase in facilities and business services. But they can only survive if the people

they are designed to serve support them.

Let’s face it, we’d all miss them if they were not there!

There are 3 pages full of special offers and discounts to help you along the way.

Support your local businesses, cut out the vouchers and shop, shop, shop..

Autumn is the party conference season-and which-

ever-if any- party you are connected with-for the committed and active work-

ers especially this is often at least compulsory listening and reading, if not

compulsory attendance. We know from press coverage that it is both a re-

view of the past year (the past election), with reflective analysis on what went

wrong, and also a look ahead with hints about what will be the future course

of action. The party conference also serves as a forum to encourage and in-

spire.

Harvest is much the same. We give thanks for the past year, for some more

successful than others. I understand that for apple growers the year has been

too good, with an abundance of apples that will drive prices down. For others

it has been not so successful a year. We give thanks both the harvest from the past year, and the seeds

provided for the next round of sowing, cropping and storing. In our own gardens many will save the run-

ner bean and sunflower seeds to give the crop for next year.

So to in our own lives, we have reaped what we have sown, and for next year we will sow what we have

reaped. The decisions we have made, and the actions we have done. Harvest affirms and encourages us in

our appreciation of the world in which we live for while “earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,

summer and winter, day and night will never fail.” (Genesis 8.22).

Epworth Buddies meet Teacher Delegation from China

We have a group of older children in school who are trained in helping other children in the playground

to find friends if they are on their own or to help solve problems. Last month a group of our Buddies

gave a presentation to a group of teachers from China about their work as playground Buddies in

school to help other children. The children went to the Educational Development Centre in Scunthorpe

to talk to the Chinese delegation. All the visitors were very impressed with the work of the pupils in

helping children resolve falling outs with each other. The children were also very well behaved as well.

Well done to Jordan Jenkinson, Alex Hodson, Sophie Vickers, Cerys Addlesee, Ellis Croxall, Eloise

Rose, Georgia Sitch, Evie Coyne, Hannah Tomlins and Lisa Pickford for taking part. You are all a credit

to the school.

Parents Maths Morning in school

We have recently held a successful morning in school when we invited parents and grandparents to

watch Maths lessons to see how the children learn in this important subject – we know ways of teach-

ing Maths can be a mystery to parents.

Evaluations completed afterwards showed everyone found the morning very helpful and enjoyable. All

parents felt more confident now to help their child with Maths, with 65% a lot more confident. 80% felt

they now knew a lot more about how we teach Maths in school, with the other 20% now knowing a

little more.

Over the year we plan to invite parents in to see other lessons in school.

With best wishes.

While debates continue about whether or not modern mums should be

‘career women’, ‘stay at home mums’ or aim to ‘have it all’ a new

survey reveals whatever work life balance they achieve, over a third of

mums in Doncaster and the Isle of Axholme feel guilty asking for help

in the home.

In the survey commissioned by MOLLY MAID more than 3,000 modern mums were asked about their

work and home-life balance. Shockingly the survey revealed that nearly three quarters of local mums are

the ones responsible for cleaning their home, while only five per cent of their spouses take on this task.

The survey also revealed that given the choice, less than seven per cent of modern mums would work full

time. However, over three quarters currently work three or more days a week, yet over half don‘t take

advantage of time saving services such as online grocery shopping.

All this domestic responsibility also puts a strain on relationships with over a third of women surveyed

stating they do not get enough help with their cleaning and over 82 percent of mums saying that the

running of their household affects their relationship with their partner in a negative way. Family time

suffers too, with a third of mums spending an hour or less of quality family time a day.

Pam Bader OBE, Chief Executive of MOLLY MAID, explained: ―Many mothers have less time to devote to

their families and households due to the pressures of modern living and the results show it can have a

negative affect on family life and relationships. It‘s surprising that even in this day and age women are still

doing the majority of the cleaning.

―It‘s easy to forget all the help that‘s available these days - whether it‘s online shopping, childminders,

gardeners or other services such as those offered by MOLLY MAID. However, services like these should

be regarded as an affordable necessity as they can help give back the precious and irreplaceable family

time, and of course all important ‗me-time‘, mums would otherwise struggle to fit in.‖

Andy and Lynne Crewe who owns the local MOLLY MAID franchise said: ―We were amazed at how many

mums weren‘t using the help available, especially considering the amount of free family time this could give

them. A MOLLY MAID is a great way to get a few extra hours back a week.‖

Remember, Remember the fifth of

November Gunpowder. treason and plot….

There is far more to remember than Guy Fawkes in

November. He is remembered because he failed to

blow up the Houses of Parliament. We have an

opportunity to remember those who didn‘t fail.

They may have died in their attempt to win, but it is

to them we owe the freedom we enjoy today.

Whilst the number of living veterans who survived

the horrors of the ―World Wars‖ decreases, the

number of veterans involved in other conflicts in-

cluding Iraq and Afghanistan increases.

As we remember those who fought all those years

ago, we remember too those who fight wars that in

many ways don‘t effect us because they are so far

away. Yet we know from our television screens,

there are soldiers who have returned badly broken

from the scene of war and many relatives who

mourn the loss of husbands, wives, sons or daugh-

ters. We salute them too.

So at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the

eleventh month, we will remember once again those

who died in the World Wars and those who have

died in conflict or training ever since.

More than that, we gather together again the fol-

lowing Sunday, November 14th in Belton All Saints

Church of England Primary School Hall at 10am for

a Community Service of Remembrance followed by

a March to the War Memorial to join the nation for

a minute‘s silence at 11am and to pledge ourselves

to do everything we can to bring peace on earth.

There are other similar gatherings throughout the

Isle.

Remember, remember the 11th & 14th of

November

News from Belton All Saints CE Primary

Peer Mentoring in school

In school we are eager to encourage pupils to

become active members of our school community.

As part of their personal and social development

programme, Year 6 pupils are involved in the

Buddying Scheme supporting Mid Day supervisors

to ensure younger pupils have safe and happy

lunchtimes. The programme involves them in

discussing bullying and conflict resolution as well as

learning to lead younger pupils in playing games.

Buddies can be clearly identified around school

wearing the red buddy neckers.

This year we have also introduced a Year 4

Playground Partnership scheme with volunteers, this

time wearing green neckers, helping to develop and

maintain friendships on the Year 3/4 playground.

Visit to Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Years 1 & 2 had the first visit out of school this year

with their trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

Linked to their topic on habitats and animals, pupils

had the opportunity to see a range of animals at

close hand. Firm favourites were the meercats,

limurs and wallabies.

Staff from the park talked to pupils about the

animals and they were given the opportunity to feed

and stroke the wallabies.

A wonderful day was had by all and pupils have

since used the trip as a stimulus for work back in

the classroom.

Josie (Y2) reported: ‗….I thought it was excellent

seeing all of the limars running and jumping about

and seeing them run to get their food. I loved

feeding the wallabies it tickled my hand when they

licked the food.‘

Scott commented: ‗…did you know that you can

hear a lion roar from five miles away?‘

Year 5/6 Homework Task

As part of the Y5/6 work on Ancient Greece this

term pupils were set a design and technology

project to complete at home. They were asked to

make a model of the Parthenon in Athens and

pupils, and parents alike, really rose to the

challenge. Fantastic models came into school

constructed from an amazing range of materials and construction kits including card, wood, clay, junk

materials, lego,…… This activity is another example of the ways in which we encourage pupils to learn

through creative subjects; researching, designing, making and evaluating their work. Pupils are currently

voting for their favourite models; however I think they should all be congratulated on their efforts.

The final fundraising event in the

2010 Calendar of Jaimie & Jack

Marshall from Belton was on Saturday

18th September when they both successfully completed

the Great North Junior Run in Newcastle. The Charity

mia and Lymphona research, a charity close to the

hearts of their escorts; Tom Lister (Carl King) and Mat-

thew Wolfenden (David Metcalfe) and Eden Taylor

Draper Belle Dingle all from the cast of Emmerdale.

Matthew agreed to stand in from the usual running part-

ner Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard) who was on holiday and

said after the race;

'I loved every step of it, Jack is

amazing and everyone has fallen in

love with him. Sign me up for Jack's

next challenge.'

Mum Linda waits with baited breath to see just what

2011 will bring as Jaimie and Jack enjoy a well deserved

Beyond the test Steering

Dear readers

You should hold the steering wheel with your hands at the ‗quarter-to three‘ or ten-to-two position. Steering

movements should be made by feeding the wheel through your hands.

You pass the wheel from one hand to the other at all times.

It sounds complicated, but this is the smoothest, safest and most natural way to control the steering. If you are not

used to steering in this way, your movements may at first feel they lack co-ordination. But it only takes practice to

develop the technique into a fluid, controlled movement. Once perfected you will find it uncomfortable to steer in

any other way.

Driving with one hand on the wheel arises simply through laziness. This gives you poor control at all times, and puts

you at a disadvantage if you need to react quickly. If, on a long drive, you find it tiring to keep both hands in the

correct place, your driving position may need adjustment.

There are many times, of course when one hand has to be taken off the wheel. Apart from changing gear, opening a

window or operating switches are common occasions. Try to do these things when travelling in a straight line and in

quiet traffic situations.

Many people let go of the wheel completely for a brief moment. How can they react if they have to take avoiding

action?

A common mistake after a turn is to let the steering‘s self-centring action spin the wheel straight. While doing this, a

driver has no control at all.

Some people hold the wheel with both hands close together at the top or the bottom. This is neither relaxing nor

appropriate for good control. Your hands should be opposite each other to allow quick steering in ether direction.

Crossing arms must be avoided control is sacrificed since crossing arms prevent more lock being added. Imagine

you misjudge a corner and halfway through you find it tightening unexpectedly. If your arms are already crossed, you

prevent yourself steering any further without a great deal of scrambling with the wheel.

Initially the wheel is turned very gently, and then the rate of rotation is slightly speeded up once the car has settled

into its cornering attitude. Applying this sensitivity means that the passengers hardly feel changes of direction.

Power steering must be treated with respect because it is all too easy for sudden steering movements on a slippery

road to cause the front wheels to break grip and start a skid. Artificial lightness should not be regarded as an

indication that a car‘s road holding is any better.

courses that we offer you will be able to find this
