Editor’s letter... Welcome to the December issue of the Ackworth Arrow, I hope your plans for Christmas are well underway and you and your family are looking forward to the festive break. On a more sombre note, November seen one of the most tragic loss of lives in Doncaster for some time. The whole Doncaster community came together to offer support and condolences to the families and friends who have lost their loved ones. All five teenagers who lost their lives were past or present students of Danum Academy in Armthorpe. The Head Teacher, Rebecca Staples and her team of staff have done an amazing job, opening the school on Sunday morning as soon as they were aware of the news, offering support to anyone who needed it and providing a source of comfort. Area Dean, Rev’d Neil Redeyoff offered his support along with other local clergy. It’s inspiring to see what our communities are capable of when needed. The deadline for the January issue for advertising and articles is Friday 19th December.

As in recent years, the Club are once again very pleased to welcome The Ackworth Community Choir to lead the singing and make their own individual contribution to the event.

So Sorry Due to circumstances outside of our control, the pantomime of Peter Pan, which was to be held at Doncaster Race Course this Christmas season has been cancelled. Therefore, the Arrow can no longer offer a family ticket to the winner of our draw, however, Doncaster Race Course have very kindly offered to substitute the prize with a family ticket to a family fun racing day in March.
