Welcome to the June issue of Crowle and Ealand Arrow. We are now in stage three which gives us further restrictions to the lockdown. Taking into effect on May 17th we are now allowed up to six people or two households to meet indoors, as well as the return of indoor service at restaurants, pubs, and cafes. At the same time, holiday makers will be able to travel again for their long-awaited summer breaks. Any advice on holidays or to book that break Luan from Hayes travel has been writing our monthly articles. Page 16 she gives more advice on the traffic light system for travel. As places start to open, keep an eye open for local activities. Epworth Old Rectory has worked hard to open and hopefully will be looking at some events very soon. We welcome Crowle and District WI with their first newsletter. Did you know the Women's Institute (WI) is a community-based organisation for women in the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand. The movement was founded in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, by Erland and Janet Lee, with Adelaide Hoodless being the first speaker in 1897. Keep your events and community group information coming through. It would be good to see our lives getting back to some sort of normality.

Community News It was fantastic to reunite with all our members of Crowle & District W.I at our first monthly meeting of 2021. Although we can still only meet via zoom, it was a positive step towards normality for us to hold a meeting again. Like many other social and community groups all our meetings were cancelled throughout last year and we had to find other ways of staying in touch with our members. Throughout the lockdown we shared hobbies and ideas to stay active, held regular online chats, and the committee handed out festive goody bags. Taking part in these activities not only helped make up for our missed meetings, but also kept spirits up through troubling times. Our first meeting back was a great start to the year with an interesting and enjoyable talk from our guest speaker Saul Walker. As former manager of the Chelsea Flower Show he entertained us with an insight into the preparations and inner workings of the famous floral affair as well as his own gardening expertise. We now look forward to more sociable and inspiring meetings with a full programme of speakers and activities for 2021. Until the summer our meetings will remain on zoom, but we are enthusiastically preparing for meetings in person once it is safe to do so. Our next meeting takes place on Thursday 3rd June at 7.15pm when we will be joined by Steve Richardson for a talk on the 50 Years of Men’s’ Singing In The Reading Male Voice Choir. If you are interested in joining the W.I or would like to find out more you can contact Sue 01724 711994, Trish 07894 318013 or find us on Facebook ‘Crowle and District W.I.’

The Epworth music day will not be going ahead, but there are more than 40 sets of performers already recording their music to upload on to You tube. Surely this is a must to sample the local talent. The YouTube link is:

Getting better - we can open again soon!! Here at Epworth Old Rectory, we are working hard to get it already for opening again after the 17th of May, when the Covid restrictions are eased again. We have really missed seeing all our visitors and welcoming them into the Old Rectory. We are a Covid Safe certificated center. Initially we will only be opening on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, from 11am to 3pm, and for prebooked groups. Not that we've been completely without visitors for the last six months, because our gardens are always open with free access anyway, and quite a few people have been into them and had fun looking through the windows at the pictures the staff have been putting up, participating in the Easter trail looking for clues to find the stamps to enter the competition to win an Easter Egg, and making a trail round the house with beautifully painted pebbles, and even just coming in and sitting quietly in the peaceful seclusion of the Physic Garden. The Black Hebridean sheep in the croft behind the house have had lots of visitors as well. The gift shop is freshly cleaned and polished and the shelves re-stocked with all the great gifts and books with many of the items not available anywhere else. The secondhand book section in the Refectory will also be ready for the avid readers, and I know there are quite a few of those here in the Isle of Axholme. Plans are afoot for a limited number of events which may be a little different from our normal ones as the lockdown and restrictions have made it difficult to plan too far ahead for anything. There is a new MWIB exhibition in the house and plans for other exhibitions of needlework to come later in the year. Other events will be advertised once the final decisions are made and full information will be posted on our website and Facebook page. For further information on opening times and days, please see our website, and if you have a half day of free time and think you might like to try volunteering do call us. Our website is: epwortholdrectory.org.uk, as is the Facebook page, or telephone 01427 872268 for information, or to make a booking to visit.

AND THERE WE HAVE IT, our traffic light system is in place for travel, and we can indeed travel from 17 May 2021 for leisure purposes, admittedly. not too many th

‘touristy’ places but I am sure there is rhyme and reason behind our Government's plan and as much as I would love my clients to be jetting off to the Maldives, Mexico, Tunisia, and the Canaries to name but a few that have plans in place, it is not to be. We will get there in ‘baby steps’. The countries we can travel to will be reviewed on a three-weekly basis, which is good news and I think we may revert back to the old days of ‘late deals’, so give me a call if you are looking for a holiday WHEN more destinations are readily available. Every day we have news that more will be added, and it is rumoured Spain will be open to UK tourists from 20 May BUT we will have to await our Government's thoughts. th

There is going to be copious amounts of testing regardless and although this can be costly, time consuming and a little stressful, it is the way forward until we hear further or globally have a better position with COVID19. Hays Travel now has a contract in place with a testing company offering tests from £49 each, so give me a call to order/book your Covid PCR test for travel. Also download the NHS app in readiness as this is going to be the way to show and prove your vaccination status for travel in the future or alternatively seek a letter from your GP when you have had both vaccines.

Please do head to my page on Facebook www.facebook.com/luanthornhillathaystravel to keep up to date with travel news or give me a call on 01427 333013
