Community News DANUM PROBUS CLUB
Danum Probus Club is an organisation for men who have retired or are semi-retired from their profession, business or other employment who want to maintain a social network with others who have similar interests. Danum Probus Club meets on the first and third Mondays of the month at Town Moor Golf Club, Bawtry Road, Belle Vue, Doncaster starting at 10 am. On Monday 5 February we welcomed Paul Grimley and his friend and colleague Mick Atkins as our guest presenters. The subject was “WWI Soldier’s Stories”, and to get into the mood both of them were dressed as WW1 soldiers. Paul was an Australian Sergeant Major and Mick an English Corporal, called would you believe Tommy Atkins, who became friends during the War. Both of them spoke about the Great War from the point on view of the NCOs at the sharp end. Paul began the presentation telling how he and his friends had volunteered to fight for the British Empire and signed. on at a Country Fair in Western Australia, followed by his journey to Egypt and fighting at Gallipoli. Mick told us that he was a regular who signed on in 1912, and after two easy years in Ireland (before partition) he was part of the original Expeditionary Force that wet to France in 1914. He then took us through the horrific battles of Ypres, the Somme, Paschendale, and others, with Paul coming back in to augment the information as appropriate. This was a very informative, interesting, and at time moving presentation. Afterwards we were able to look at a selection of WW1 artefacts which Paul had brought along. On 15 February our speaker was Dennis Ashton , and a report will appear next time. There are two meetings in March. The first on Monday 5 features our old friend Stephen Gay who will be telling us about “Railways around Brid. and Scarborough”, and on Monday 19 Martin Johnson will be asking us “What’s Tha Up To”. Any interested men who would like to come the meetings as a visitor to see what we do, with a view to joining if you like us, please call either George Kirk (07808191221), John Gregory (01302 532032) or Geoff Firth (01302 849734) for more information.
Mothers' Union Barnby Dun The branch of Mothers' Union at Barnby Dun celebrated 20 years in 2017, and continues to grow, why not come along and learn more about us? This life changing organisation was formed in 1876 by our founder Mary Sumner. She was a young clergy wife with 3 children and felt all the emotions that young women felt in the Victorian era, and certainly some will feel them today; worry, anxiety and fears. Mary Sumner felt compelled, as a Christian, to offer help and support to young mothers and families. So we follow her vision today, continuing to serve others through our membership, and promoting family life. We are volunteers and we come in all shapes and sizes, old and young. We help at food banks, we manage prison crèches, and we support Women's Refuges for those young women escaping domestic abuse. Wherever there is a crisis in the world Mothers' Union will be there on the front line. We help to support financially, an emergency fund that is always readily available to help when disasters occur. We are enriched because we know that we are making a difference, improving lives, giving hope and encouragement to so many families worldwide. I hope that this article lets you know a little bit more about our work. For more information contact:- Deanery leader telephone 01302882637

Singing for Memory
Calls out for votes to bag a share of Tesco’s bag fund Doncaster’s Singing for Memory is bidding to bag a cash boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative. Tesco teamed up with Groundwork to launch its community funding scheme, which sees grants of up to £4,000, up to £2,000 and £1,000 raised from carrier bag sales in Tesco stores awarded to local community projects. Three groups in every Tesco region have been shortlisted to receive the cash award and shoppers are being invited to head along to Tesco stores to vote for the group they think should take away the largest contribution. Singing for Memory, run by darts (Doncaster Community Arts) is one of the groups on the shortlist. 2,674 people are registered as living with dementia in Doncaster and the majority are still living at home. There are likely to be many more people with dementia who do not yet have a diagnosis. Dementia can be hugely isolating both for those living with the condition and the family members who care for them. Singing for Memory will provide a safe space for people with dementia and their family carers to make friends, have fun, sing songs they know and write new ones. Professional musicians lead the session, making the most of people’s talents and ensuring there’s also time to drink tea, chat, share stories and celebrate achievements. For the family members and carers, it’s a vital opportunity to meet with a network of others in similar situations. The sessions will help people feel less isolated and, by attending alongside the person with dementia, they are doing something enjoyable together and creating shared memories. One family member said "I could tell the difference in my dad when we got home last week. We all had a great time and it makes such a difference to get out of the house and do something fun together." Voting is open in Doncaster Tesco stores throughout March and April. Customers will cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop. Tesco’s Bags of Help project has already delivered over £40 million to 9,700 projects up and down the UK. Alec Brown, Head of Community at Tesco, said: “We are absolutely delighted to open the voting for March and April. There are some fantastic projects on the shortlists and we can’t wait to see these come to life in hundreds of communities.”

I’m sorry to have to report that burglary offences are continuing at houses and I have noticed an increase in shed and garage burglaries. Burglars are using a number of methods to enter house, but in the main, these are by snapping Euro locks in doors and smashing glass in patio and French doors. If your locks are older than two years, the chances are that they do not meet the latest security standards. Euro locks are simple to change and can be done by just about anyone using a screwdriver to remove and install the lock and a tape measure to measure the lock and ensure that it is the correct size. The security standards you must look for are either TS007 3 star or SS 312 Diamond Standard. Some companies may try to sell you a one star lock matched with a two star handle stating that this is just as good. I recommend a three star lock and a two star handle, which will enhance the security level. Mater Locksmiths carry a range of these locks at different prices and they can be obtained via the Internet. Instructions on how to measure a door and fit the correct sized lock are available on YouTube, simply search the words, ‘Replacing a Euro Lock.’ The price of these locks can vary but you do not need the most expensive and I recommend a midrange priced lock as long as it meets the above security standards. If the glass in your double glazed windows is broken for whatever reason, I recommend replacing that pane with laminated glass instead of the standard type of glass, which is known as toughened glass. Toughened glass is designed to break in a safe manner so as to reduce injury to anyone nearby. This glass shatters completely resulting in small regular shaped pieces of glass without sharp or jagged edges. Laminated glass consists of a layer of thin clear polythene sandwiched between two pieces of glass. In the event of an attack upon the glass, the polythene holds the glass together making it very difficult for someone to smash the glass to gain entry into a house. Laminated will cost about one third more than the equivalent sized toughened glass pane. If replacing glass panes, ask for a quote for laminated. A cheaper alternative for existing glass is to fix window security film to the inside of your large windows. These are sheets of clear film, which can be fitted to the window and will reduce the ease in which the window can be smashed. They can be purchased in various thicknesses up to bomb blast quality. The minimum recommended for houses is 100 microns 200 microns is used to protect glass from bomb blasts. Advice on Euro locks can be found at the following website. http://www.locksmiths.co.uk/faq/lock-snapping-most-secure-lock-cylinder/ Burglary prevention advice can be found on the South Yorkshire police website at http://www.southyorkshire.police.uk/sites/default/files/4-9-14%20Janes%20approved%20artwork.pdf If you have any questions you can contact Eamonn Larkin the Doncaster Police crime reduction officer via email eamonn.larkin@southyorlks.pnn.police.uk or telephone 01302 385869
