Welcome to the December issue of the Arrow!
Christmas is only just around the corner! Once again we have lots of activities and events being promoted. We have the annual Christmas fair weekends at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which prove very popular. Boston Park are advertising their Christmas events too. A few years ago I went with my son Joseph, it was a great day and I must say it was really like seeing the real Father Christmas! I have also visited Santa at the Smithy, High Street, Owston Ferry, a more traditional way to see the famous man! Santa at the Smithy have the following dates: Saturday 9th & Saturday 16th December 2pm-4pm Sunday 10th December 2pm-5pm Sunday 17th December 2pm-5pm Admission to see Santa is only £3. A visit to Holmes and Gardens at Epworth and you will see Snowy and Logan the donkeys! And don’t forget the famous dancing lights of Brigley House in Saffron Way, Crowle. They will light up the dark evenings once again this December and money raised will be donated to Pride of the Isle charity. Enjoy the festive season and we will be back in the new year with your January magazine. Please note an early deadline for the January issue, Tuesday 5th December for distribution by the 5th January. If you are interested in advertising please be in touch before the date.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport launches airspace consultation A public consultation on proposed changes to the airspace around Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) has been launched which will outline potential minor changes to the routes that aircraft depart and arrive into the airport. DSA is participating in a UK-wide initiative to modernise airspace known as the Future Airspace Strategy (FAS) backed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), which will involve moving away from the traditional ground-based navigation and over to a new satellite navigation system known as Area Navigation (RNAV). The government’s objectives to modernise UK airspace policy are a welcome step which could bring wider benefits across the UK such as noise reduction, less CO2 and other emissions, plus fuel and time savings. The airport has taken the opportunity to utilise this new technology to develop and consult on improved departure and arrival routes from the site, investing over £250,000 in the design process. The new technology will allow aircraft to operate with greater accuracy within their designated flight paths when departing and arriving from DSA. The routes have been designed to be very close to the current routes but improved, where possible, to reduce disruption to communities surrounding the airport. This process will allow us to ensure that we are using our airspace in the most efficient way, whilst also reducing disruption to local communities. We have made considerable efforts to design these proposed routes to the benefit of local communities and to ensure safety. We have worked closely with local stakeholders to develop these proposals, including our Airport Consultative Committee made up of elected representatives, local public agencies, local business, residential communities and airport users. We would encourage all interested parties to participate in the consultation process. The consultation will run until 15th December 2017. More details including the full consultation document can be found on the DSA website:

All our thousands of visitors during the season from March to October get a fully guided tour of the house as part of our normal service. So what's different in the Candlelit Tours? As the name suggests we have candles for the tour. but not just the guides carrying candles, as they do, but the entire house is lit solely by candle power as the Wesley family would have experienced it during their 40 year residency in Epworth.
Just to encourage you to eat with us try the recipe for our Pork Pie - Hot water crust pastry filled with pieces of chopped pork flavoured with onion, sage, salt and pepper, and topped off with a layer of Bramley apple. Want the real recipe? Come and see us and each guest who wants it can have a copy of our personal recipe free of charge. Do remember though that places are limited and pre-booking is essential. Call the office on 01427 872268 as soon as possible to book the last few places.
Not only that, the guides and reception staff are dressed in costume reflecting the 18th century so when visitors come along to the gift shop which is the meeting place for the tours, they are met with, not only an array of quality goods, many of which will make suitable Christmas presents, but a member of the sales and reception team who will be dressed in costume similar to the type worn by Mrs Susanna Wesley and her contemporaries. When all the group are gathered together, they are led by the team member using a lantern to the front door where they are received by guides, in appropriate costumes, into the main entrance hall with the fitful flicker of candles and the glorious warmth of the blazing open fire. The house is decorated throughout with seasonal greenery and colourful bows which our guests have time to enjoy as they are taken on a tour around the house, seeing it in the same light as the Wesley family did. Listen to the guides tell the story of Old Geoffrey in the atmospheric conditions of gentle candlelight; hear of the conditions for the family and the achievements of mother and sons; Find out which of our favourite Christmas carols was written so long ago by Charles Wesley; and finally end up in the heart of the home, Susanna's kitchen. From here Susanna started a revolution that, through her sons, became the worldwide Methodist Church. Hear how she educated her children and responded to the needs of the local people in Epworth while enjoying refreshments around the kitchen table, in front of another roaring open fire. Refreshments which include home made pork pie, fruit cake and cheese, mince pies and whatever else we volunteers decide to make for the occasion.

St Norbert's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy 'To live, love and learn in the footprints of Jesus' St Norbert’s have been working hard to secure the reaccreditation of the British Council’s International School Award and this was confirmed during November. The award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education, helping pupils to gain the cultural understanding and skills required for life in our world today. A community group including three staff members, a governor and ex-pupil visited Malealea in October 2017. A book of images and letters from pupils in our school travelled to Malealea and these are being replied to at present. Our ex pupil, Charlotte Geddes, performed a gymnastic dance routine which the local community thoroughly enjoyed. Local band, Junk Funk, playing with handmade instruments, then entertained our group, together with the local school choir. From the donations received at our Harvest Festival and from our local community, our group were able to sell Wonderbags for a discounted price of 70 Rand (£4.50) instead of the normal price of 600 Rand (£35.50). A total of 5 Wonderbags were purchased on one day and a further 25 purchased during the week. The donations also enabled our group to construct a shade netting area which will be used to increase food security in the school garden and also to purchase fuel wood trees and peach tree saplings. These were all planted by our group before they left. The group also experienced meal times at the local school with maize pap being served up from stocks of aid provided by the World Food Programme. The photograph shows children from our school with the book that travelled to Malealea and the Wonderbags. As Christmas approaches, our children are busy practising for our main school production of ‘The Pied Piper’. This takes place week commencing 4th December. Our friends from Greenacres will once again be attending on the Tuesday morning. If you would like to attend, tickets are available for the morning of Thursday 7th December, doors open at 9.15am with the performance starting at 9.45am Refreshments will be available served by our PTA, the Friends of St Norbert’s, from 9.15am. If you would like to attend, please telephone 01724 710249 to secure your tickets. Our school choir are also busy practising for the Crowle Regen Christmas Concert alongside Hatfield Brass Band at the Community Hall on Monday 11th December and to also visit the residents of Greenacres for an afternoon Christmas Concert. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events very soon! To advertise please call 01302 532676 or 07912 643010 14
Brigley House Christmas Lights Double the fun!
Each year we decorate our house in Saffron Way , Crowle with thousands of dancing lights (now over 13,000 to be more precise !) raising funds for local charities. Last year, having ran a vote on our Facebook page, our followers voted that we raise funds for Team Verirco - we were stunned at the response and thrilled to hand over £2,700 to Team Verrico . This year we will be raising funds for another amazing local charity - Pride Of The Isle . During last years vote it was neck and neck in the vote right up to closing the vote - so we are really pleased to be able to support Pride Of The Isle this year and hope to replicate the success of last years show and fund raising success. The dancing lights of Brigley House in Saffron Way, Crowle will light up the dark evenings once again this December and this year it’s double the fun as not one but two houses will jibe part of this years show! Now with over 13,000 lights between the two houses, this years show has a selection of new songs and old favourites and its all shining bright to raise funds for a fantastic local charity - Pride of the Isle. The show runs from 4pm to 10pm every day in December. If you can’t visit in person then you can see a selection of show videos and donate to Pride of the Isle at the Brigley House Facebook page www.facebook.com/8000lights
