Welcome to the May 2021 issue of the Barnby Dun & Edenthorpe Arrow This month we have lots of news and articles, which is great. Please keep sending in your information. My details are below. Please remember to mention the Barnby Dun & Edenthorpe Arrow wherever you use the local businesses that advertise. The Arrow relies heavily on the support of the local businesses advertising their goods or services. Without them it would not be possible every month. Also, remember that we have a business directory listing at the back of the magazine. If you are looking for a local tradesman, electrician, plumber, tiler etc, you should find what you are looking for, if not throughout the magazine then hopefully in the business directory. Look out for the new additions each month. Julie Morrell Tel: 07854 880882 Julie@arrowpublications.co.uk www.arrowpublications.co.uk Find us on facebook

Friends of Quarry Park Spring is my favourite time of year on Quarry Park, especially the fantastic displays of daffodils on Quarry Hill which have been more spectacular than ever this year. They always remind me of Wordsworth’s famous poem inspired by wild daffodils in the Lake District. We might not have been able to travel that far but we could have imagined that we had our own little bit of Cumbria here in South Yorkshire. Our volunteers were happy to be able to return to their monthly volunteer work parties on Friday April 9, a week later than usual due to the Easter Bank Holiday. One group repaired some fencing while another cleared and tidied the “Zip Wire Dip” and collected litter. Dates for the next few volunteer mornings, held on the first Friday of each month, will be:Friday 7 May Friday 4 June - incorporating the Keep Britain Tidy Great British Spring Clean. Friday 2 July Anyone who has some spare time and would like to help in maintaining our local park will be welcome to come along. Each session lasts approximately 2 hours, meeting at 10 a.m. at the Green Flag. All tools and protective clothing, high vis waistcoats, safety glasses and gloves, are supplied. DMBC Countryside Rangers attend each session, providing their expertise and ensuring that we are Covid compliant and work safely. Please bring your own drinks etc as we still cannot provide refreshments due to Covid regulations. Over the next few weeks our volunteers will be working on reinstating the Orienteering Course where many of the posts and markers were damaged or missing. An Active Communities Grant has been awarded to cover the cost. We have had several enquiries about the course recently so expect it will be well used once completed. The Park has continued to be popular during the latest Covid Lockdown, especially with the good weather over the Bank Holiday. We are grateful to all those who have used the bins or taken their litter home with them. We have been spared the terrible sights seen at Parks and green spaces across the country where piles of litter have been left behind. There has been a problem with used dog waste bags being discarded in some areas. We ask that dog walkers always use the bins provided when picking up after their dogs. It is not a pleasant task for our volunteer litter pickers to have to tackle! Work on the Car Park at St Mary’s Road is progressing with the erection of the CCTV tower. With increased visitor numbers there has been pressure on Car Parking so until it is reopened please park responsibly and safely with consideration for local residents. We hope you all continue to enjoy your visits to Quarry Park, we are lucky to have this great amenity on our doorsteps! If you want to know more about becoming a volunteer or being part of our Friends Group please contact us at thequarrypark@gmail.com or via our Facebook Page. Janice Bewley, Secretary, Friends of Quarry Park.

Community News Hatfield Town Cricket Club Our junior training has started back on Fridays 6:00-8:00pm and it's proving as popular as ever with the kids! We welcome newcomers of all ages but are particularly looking for boys and girls in school years 3/4 to join our latest band of Under 9's. For the younger ones our All-Stars programme begins on the 7th May, check out our club link on the Facebook page. The first weekend of fixtures was decimated by snow and rain, amazing to believe in April! The highlights for May see the 1st XI travel to perennial title challengers Streethouse on the 1st and host big spending Frickley on the 8th. The Evening League XI travel to Doncaster Town on the 18th which is sure to be a great game. Unfortunately, we have had to make the decision to close our bar for the moment until government guidelines allow it to be manageable for our volunteers we will provide further updates as the rules are updated but at present it may well be the 21st June before it re-opens.
The Coop Local Community Fund Seen here receiving their cheque for £1320.63 from Coop Funeralcare colleage, Hazel Roberts are members of the DN7 Food Bank. This is their half yearly payment from the Co-op Local Community Fund covering Dunscroft and Thorne Co-op stores/ Funeralcare (and their surrounding areas). When Coop Members buy Co-op products they can select to choose a local good cause that has been nominated for support for a 12 month period. For every £1 a member spends on Co-op products 2p goes into their own membership account and the same is split between like-minded organisations and local causes. Co-op Members in the area have selected the DN7 Food Bank as one of their causes who are trying to raise money to continue their fantastic project to help people in the community by handing out a food bag to the most vulnerable and offering a listening ear. Other Local Causes in this Community are The Ethel Trust Community Barge who received £1196.85 and Dunsville Primary School who received £1166.16. You can choose to learn more about and support your favourite cause by visiting the Co-op Membership website https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes or accessing the Coop App on your mobile device. There are several other causes across Doncaster to choose from but you can only support one cause at a time - although you may change this throughout the giving period. We give a new set of local causes to choose from every October and applications for the next round of funding will open on 5th May 2021 - again visit our website for further information or contact your local Member Pioneer on dorothy.miller@coop.co.uk.

Spring at Thorne Camera Club The club was honoured to have as guest judge David Kissman OBE CPAGB BPE2, of Nottingham, for the second open Zoom competition of the Spring Programme. A Yorkshireman by birth, hailing from Leeds, he judged in a pleasant, relaxed and friendly way with plenty of constructive comments and encouragement. His final choices were, first Amur Tiger by Jan Sharp, then Sitting Pretty also by Jan Sharp, and thirdly Dunstanburgh Morning Prayer by Terry Gunnill. Highly Commended were Bridges of New York by Jackie Woodward, Con Rod by Graham Linley, Dawn on a Misty Morning – Terry Gunnill and Venetian Dream – Mike Donnison. Commended were Dan O’Shea and Mick Farrand (2). Visiting the club from Prestatyn in North Wales, via Zoom, the Dragon Lady, Margaret Salisbury FRPS APAGB MPAGB talked about her long and illustrious career in Photography spanning several decades, showing images dating from as far back as 1977, when colour was something novel, but a growing trend, and monochrome, choice of serious photographers, was on film of course. This has not really changed much in the digital age, as many photographers still choose to work in mono, still choose to use film, and even choose to process for themselves in a darkroom with the chemicals needed to produce the images. Every picture tells a story as the old saying goes, but with Margaret, every picture has a story, which she tells in a humorous way. The other big event, the Annual Sheffield Photographic Society Knock Out Competition, took place recently. Five images by five different photographers were entered in line with the rules, with a sixth in case of a tie. In each round, images are eliminated, scores are given for each image to make it through to the next round, until a winner is chosen. This is a club versus club competition with some top rated clubs from three counties. The winning club ….. was not Thorne. However, up against stiff opposition from some of the best clubs in the region, two images got through to the second round, which is an achievement in itself. As the weather improves, the lockdown eased, it is hoped that everyone, photographers or not, will be able to get out and about, taking advantage of the good weather and a bit more freedom. Planned and impromptu photo shoots will take place, socially distanced, and the last few Zoom meetings before the Autumn.
