How refreshing to hear of the wonderful news about our local resident, Bridget Clark being awarded a BEM by the Queen. Bridget's passion for community life is something she has been known and admired for, for many years. Enjoy your moment Bridget, you deserve it so much. Kilham Hall meeting rooms in Branton will host a PCSO drop in on Monday 26th October at 6pm. Social distancing will apply but further restrictions may mean it does not go ahead. As life remains difficult and uncertain for many local businesses, particularly the hospitality sector, I will do my very best to support them by purchasing gift vouchers for birthday and Christmas presents. We have some wonderful local pubs, wine bars, cafes and restaurants and I don’t want to lose them. If you are stuck for a present idea this year, bear them in mind. What ever this virus throws at us, whatever restrictions are enforced, we can only do our best to support one another and keep safe. Sending my love and best wishes to everyone. The deadline for the December issue is Wednesday 18th November. The December issue will be distributed the weekend commencing 27th November. Keep safe everyone.

Community News CONGRATULATIONS Bridget, our local Hero, recognised in the Queen's birthday honours list. Bridget Joan Clark has been awarded a BEM for services to the community in Doncaster, South Yorkshire during Covid-19 (Doncaster, South Yorkshire). For the many who know Bridget, you will know her efforts go far beyond Covid. A true community champion, a friend to everyone and always there for whoever may need her time or help. Bridget has a super support group headed up by Susan Anderson who also deserves a mention. The villages of Finningley and Blaxton have all felt the benefit of Bridget’s support over the years and is an inspiration to us all. Her huge amount of enthusiasm and commitment to create and maintain community spirit is commendable by anyone's standards and now also recognised by the Queen. Congratulations from The Arrow and thank you.

Auckley Show 200 plus club update. S.O.S. Support Our Show
We are continuing with our monthly draw, a way in which everyone has an opportunity to support the show. The current situation restricts the way in which we can call and collect payments that are due for renewal. The last couple of months we have been sending our supporters a letter with suggestions on how best to renew.
It's really sad news we had to cancel 2020. However, plans are well underway for next year which will be Saturday 21st August 2021. With your support we’ll make it the best ever annual community event. Winner of the September draw number 256 Cheryl Manton wins £100. Winner of the October draw number 18 David Eyre wins £100
Please note you don’t have to live in Auckley to help support our show.
We thank you for your continued support. Any new members can apply on line through our website.
www.auckley.show.co.uk or give me a call to arrange 01302 770818. We are keeping our discounted price at £10 for twelve months with a chance of winning £100 each month.

‘‘What Can We Say?’’ As our first half term comes to a close our whole staffing team would like to express how proud we are of each and every child in Misson Primary School. Every day they have brought with them their own unique personalities and have adapted to the ‘new normal’ better than we could ever have imagined. School life has certainly changed but our student’s amazing strength and resilience has meant our days have run smoothly, achieving so many great things. Understandably, when talking to the children, there have been a few nerves, but on the whole the last seven weeks have shown both pupils and staff are extremely happy to be back with our friends in this small school community. The ethos of our school has always been one of nurture and unity while in a safe, caring environment and our ‘new normal’ will always continue to promote this. With the help of our newly established Year 6 Media team we have been able to share so many of our ‘in school’ activities and changes with our parents, grandparents and the local community by using our social media platforms ….. Our Facebook page and newly established Instagram page too.
