Editors Letter...
Get ready for the heat wave... planned around 1st September, just as most children head back to school for the new term! What is it with our weather? Just wait and see, September will be blue skies and red hot! I have resembled a pack horse for most of August, a trip out needs waterproofs, a fleece, sun hats and sun cream, whichever you don’t pack you need! Never mind, at least there was no chance of anyone getting sun burnt. However, the sun did shine at the Auckley Show and helped organisers achieve a record turnout, we have many photographs of the event in this month’s arrow however the results from the show will be in the October issue. We also have an article this month for the residents in the parish of Cantley with Branton (every household in Branton, Old Cantley and the Bessacarr side of Warning Tongue Lane). The new development at Manor Farm falls within your parish boundary so all new dwellings will come under your parish council. The article explains how this effects your parish. If you are a resident, make sure your voice is heard whether you agree or not. A boundary review can only be achieved if you ask for it. The Council need your views. Thank you to everyone who has sent in articles of interest and information. The deadline for the October issue is Wednesday 15th September.

‘the showground was buzzing with families and friends’
Tug of war, well done girls! Auckley Show 2010 declared a total success, with what must have been a record turnout, the show ground was buzzing with families and friends from near and far enjoying a true community annual get together. The bonus was the weather which was kind, a damp start turned into brilliant sunshine. We are only a small committee so planning well ahead was the key to success. All the committee has worked so hard during the previous 12 months on their various projects and I, as Chairman, am proud to be part of a great team. We also had helpers on the day which we thank. A special mention should go to the 1053 Squadron Air Cadets based in Armthorpe. There have been so many comments of how smart, professional, efficient and helpful they all were. Their main duty was the car park, all the car parking areas were full to capacity, and I don’t know what we would have done without them. We have good feedback also from residents that the streets were not blocked up. Well done 1053 Sqd. The exhibits were well up again on last year, a total of 586 entries were judged. I was glad the new eggseedingly good class was supported with eggs, the wines and beers proved popular also with 29 entries. It was just amazing to see how all the youngsters were captivated by Mr Magic’s good old fashioned Punch and Judy. They also enjoyed and had great fun in the children’s sports; the mums enjoyed it too with the space hopper race.

The Eagle and Child staff was once again stretched to the limit as more than ever sampled the many real ales on offer. It was good to taste once again our ‘Auckley Showstopper Ale’. The Eagle and Child won the tug of War for the first time. A full list of all winners of the show’s events will be published in the October Issue of the Arrow and will soon appear with photographs on our web site www.auckleyshow.co.uk. The new second marquee used for the arts and craft was a brilliant idea which relieved the pressure in the main entertainment marquee. I hope we can afford to provide this again next year. Friday night’s Auckley Show’s got talent was well attended and the Saturday night Dance was a sell out. The committee meet in the Parish Centre at Auckley every 3rd Wednesday of the month. If you would like to get involved come along and meet the team, share your ideas for the 2011 Auckley Show. A very big THANKYOU to all who provided prizes for tombola and raffle and helped out to make Auckley Show special. ‘May the sun continue to shine’ Regards Neil Woodward Results from show in next month’s arrow

Finningley Neighbourhood Watch We are happy to report that our membership has significantly increased over the past 3 or 4 weeks bringing the total to 345 thanks to Mrs Maureen Gofton and our chairperson Mrs Dorothy Pidcock. We now have more than 50% of the properties in the Village registered with us together with a few from Blaxton. It is easy to join if you are still not a member. Just call 770873 (Mrs Dorothy Pidcock) or 771574 (Keith Robinson) to register. It will cost you just £1 to join and £1 per year subscription thereafter. In return you will receive a quarterly newsletter and an invite to our quarterly meetings, usually attended by our beat manager, Julie. There have been quite significant changes to the way in which local villages are now policed. They used to come under the Safer Neighbourhood Team based at Robin Hood Airport, but due to increased airport traffic the responsibility for policing our villages has been transferred to Rossington and as far as we are concerned policed by 2 PCs and 3 PCSOs The officer responsible for Finningley and Blaxton is PC Julie Gibbon. Crime remains very low in this area but the summer has seen a number of hanging baskets being stolen and a set of newly purchased garden furniture. The advice from the Police is to lock up what you can when not in use and don’t forget to set your alarm at bedtime if at all possible. There has been a case recently of a break in whilst the occupants were asleep. Goods were removed from the property.

Manor Farm CANTLEY WITH BRANTON PARISH BOUNDARY TO REVIEW OR NOT TO REVIEW?
Branton
Manor Farm Development M18
Doncaster Golf Club
Following the successful appeal by Persimmon Homes (South Yorkshire) Ltd to develop the Manor Farm area the Cantley with Branton parish council has considered the implications of the scale of the proposed development and the appropriateness of the existing parish boundary.
The parish currently has 1,157 dwelling and around 2,282 electors.
The current parish stretches from Old Cantley through to Branton just beyond the A614 and to the river Torne at Auckley Bridge. It also includes the area of Bessacarr along Warning Tongue Lane to the east and part of Warning Tongue Lane to the west from the railway line beyond Bawtry Road containing the Manor Farm area up to Rossington Bridge and almost to Potteric Carr Nature Reserve. Many of the boundary lines follow the main drainage
Information has therefore again been sought as to whether it is possible to revise the boundary of the parish and the procedures required to undertake this. At the moment Doncaster Council has no plans to conduct any reviews but the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 introduced provisions for a boundary review to be undertaken following the submission of a Community Governance Petition.
system and so are not easy to describe in detail.
24
The proposal to build in the region of 1,100 homes, a retirement village of around 250 homes, plus associated facilities would therefore double the number of residents in the parish consequently impacting on the role and responsibilities of the parish council.
Please mention “The Arrow� when responding to advertisements
If you wish to request a review of the boundary The community Governance Petition needs to be signed by at least 250 electors of the Parish based on the current number of electors. The petition must define the area to which the review relates (whether by maps or otherwise) & must specify one or more recommendations which the petitioners wishes the review to consider making. Once a valid petition has been submitted DMBC must, with certain exceptions, conduct a review, in view of the length of time to complete the procedure the earliest any changes made as a consequence of the review could take effect would be at the Parish Elections to be held in May 2015. The review procedure provides a range of options to be considered including to make no change.
Conversely an increase in the number of electors would reduce the amount of precept paid by each individual household for the provision of similar services. Alternatively if the precept remained at the current rate this would raise more revenue and enable the parish council to provide additional services for the benefit of the parish.
Residents are asked to consider this information and to decide if it is felt that a review of the parish boundary would be appropriate. Please send any views you have to: Julia Staniforth (Clerk to the Council) 24 Ellers Lane Auckley Doncaster DN9 3JF or email julia.staniforth@mypostoffice.co.uk .
There are of course implications arising out of any change and the extent of any boundary change could impact on the amount of precept paid by individual householders. In the event that the boundary was revised to remove only the area of Manor Farm then the effect on the precept would be minimal as there only a very small number of dwellings situated on Warren Lane and the south of Bawtry Road. To revise the boundary for example to the centre of Warning Tongue Lane and Bawtry Road would have a greater impact as this would remove properties e.g. those on Bawtry Road, Warnington Drive and Plantation Avenue and the west of Warning Tongue Lane. An increase in the number of electors would reduce the amount of precept paid by each individual household for the provision of similar services.

Branton St Wilfrid’s School News Year 6 residential visit to Marrick Priory
After working hard all year Class 6 were greatly looking forward to their residential visit at Marrick Priory. Marrick Priory is a licensed activity centre in beautiful countryside near Richmond, and our school has been leading successful residential visits there for over twenty five years! During the week Class 6 enjoyed taking part in a variety of outdoor and adventurous activities. A huge part of the week was working together as a team and supporting each other to try out new challenges and Class 6 did this really well. The children took part in team building exercises, orienteering, rock climbing and abseiling, kayaking, archery, a variety of activities on the ropes course, a long day walk and the list goes on! On the Thursday evening a campfire with songs and certificates for everyone brought the week to a great conclusion. What a way to finish seven years at Branton St Wilfrid’s C.E. Primary School! We hope our former Year 6 pupils will enjoy their new secondary schools and hope they will keep in touch to tell us about their successes in the future. Best Wishes EA Crayton Head teacher

Swallow nesting on Porch Lamp in Blaxton
While I was collecting a supply wild bird food from Andy and Jacquie Shearmans bird food outlet at their home ‘THIE GENNAL’, Mosham Road , Blaxton, I was delighted to get this photo of a swallow feeding its young, in its nest built upon their front door light. The parent birds were quite oblivious to our presence, as they went about their business.
The Swallow (Hirundo rustica). Both sexes build a saucer-shaped nest of mud and dried grasses lined with feathers, usually on a ledge or rafter in buildings, they lay 3-6 white eggs, heavily speckled with red-brown markings, between May and August. Swallows feed on flying insects including dragonflies and butterflies, so it was not Andy and Jacquie’s bird food that attracted them. Have you any unusual bird nesting photos? Branton House Query You might recollect a couple of months ago we had Cynthia Scully asking why there was a house on the south side of the main road through Branton facing away from the road and thus being out of line with all the other housing on that side. Well Sarah Munday has found the answer. ―I saw the question about the house that faces the wrong way in Branton. I have spoken to a farmer (Norman) who lives in Branton, he told me that the house owned the fields where the bungalows are built. They kept horses there, which were used to transport liquid paraffin that they sold for lamps etc. So the house was built that way to overlook the fields’. Branton and Cantley Cricket Club Colin Wood of Branton tells me that the cricket field only had two homes A/ in the field behind the Old Cantley Primary School and B/ in the field to the east of St Wilfred’s Church. He also tells me that there was a wooden Village Dance Hall, just off Warning Tongue Lane in the area of the present Catholic Convent. With further reference to the cricket club Alan Lindley writes; ‘I first played for Cantley & Branton in 1957 aged 14, in friendly matches. My first league match was the first game of the 1958 season away to Sprotbrough. The field at Cantley was indeed owned by Mr Davies who was club president. The rule regarding the tree was as you stated except that you scored 4 not 2 for hitting it, regardless of hitting the trunk or just a leaf. Strangely the tree didn’t get hit very often. The changing rooms were two old rail freight wagons. Horses and sometimes cows were kept on the field, being kept off the square by an electric fence. The players had to remove the fence and go round with bucket and shovel cleaning up the outer field before play could start. I last played on the ground in 1966, having topped the batting averages in 1964. The captain during my time there was a Branton farmer named Ken Turner. The headmaster of Old Cantley school, Gerry Walls, also played. The mainstay of the club however was Roy Wood from Auckley. He was groundsman, odd job man, fixture secretary and anything else that needed doing. His wife was roped in to help with the teas. I moved back to Auckley in 1977 and the club was playing home games then at Cantley Park then, but I think it folded about 1980.’

Beyond The Standard Driving Test Dear readers, The government has made the standard Driving Test more d ifficult in rec ent years, with the addition of a multiple-choice t est and a computerised hazard-awareness assessment. Howev er it still only involves learning the most fundamental driving skills and doesn’t include p reparation for poor-w eather or motorway driv ing. The standard L-test is simply an introduction to driv ing a vehicle. Your further education takes place on today’s congested roads and provides a steep and often precarious learning curv e, this is where Driv er education comes in. On the U/K’s congest ed roads it’s important that you’re always in the right fra me of mind to driv e. A positive attitude will help to reduce the risk of collisions through tolerance and courtesy , by being realistic as to your own abilit ies, and by maintaining a high degree of ca re for your own safety and others. Driv ing on UK roads can be very st ressful, but you must always remain cool- headed tolerant and courteous–helping to avoid or diffuse any threatening situations. Don’t let your driving standards be affected by other motorist ’s mistakes or behaviour. Stay relaxed , don’t be prov oked and remember that, if you do make a mistake an apologetic wave is often all it takes to put things right. Don’t let your enthusiasm for driving tempt you into brea king the speed limit or driving dangerously always know what speed you are doing and know what the maximu m speed limit is. Rememb er timid drivers can be as dangerous as aggressive d riv ers. Always expect the worst from other motorist s and try to understand what they are aiming to achieve. If you allow f or poor observation and slow reactions, you’ll find you’re alway s prepared for the worst-case scenario. Whether y ou’re a novic e motorist or an experienced d river, you’ll always find room to improv e your driving skills. Keep an open mind, be realistic about your limitations and always be prepared to learn f rom any errors y ou make. When follow ing other drivers, always apply the two-second rule if you suspect they may not be totally focused on their driv ing, leave an ev en bigger gap to giv e you extra b raking time. Tailgating is a common cause of collisions, it is dangerous and antisocia l and can never be condoned .
The Driving Position.
One of the most important aspe cts of driving a mode rn machine involves achieving the perfect driving position every time yo u get be hind the wheel. This allows yo u maximum co ntrol over your ve hicle and will kee p you mo re comfo rtable and ale rt on longer journey’s It’s als o the positio n mos t often ado pted by racing drive rs, es pecially rally and to uring car drive rs. Sit in the car with the base of your s pine in the back of the seat to prevent back pro blems. Hold the w heel at ten-to-two or quarter-to-three. Keep your thumbs vertical. Wheneve r possible adjus t the s teering wheel rake fo r improved control and to enable yo u to see all the das hboard instruments . Make sure yo ur arms are slightly bent. Your legs sho uld be slightly bent too whe n yo ur feet are on the pe dals. The back of the seat should be fairly upright giving you a good view of the road ahe ad, mirro rs, display and dials. Ensure that head restraints are adjusted s o that the y align with the to p of you he ad.
