After another great day last year, live music is back in town for this year’s Epworth Music Day on Saturday 22nd June!
With less than 2 months to go before this year’s Music Day, we’re putting the final pieces together for another great day of celebrating live music. In the daytime there’ll be over 90 hours of free music from 10am to 5pm in 14 venues around Epworth, featuring nearly 60 different groups and performers of all types of music. All this is free; no tickets are needed.
We will again be closing the roads to traffic in the centre of Epworth from 9.30am to 5pm on 22nd June.
As well as the daytime programme, The Queen’s Head, The White Bear, The Old School Inn, Koko’s and Hatty’s will be putting on their own music in the evening, and this will round off a fabulous day’s music and entertainment.
At 7pm there will also be a concert with 6 different groups – again of all types of music – performing in St Andrew’s Church – and the Folk Dance group of the Yorkshire Camping and Caravanning Club will be putting on a ceilidh in the Imperial Hall, starting at 7.30pm.
Again, all the evening music and the ceilidh are free; no tickets are needed.
Full details of the performers and the daytime and evening programmes will be available at www.epworthmusicday.com and will be available on the day. You can also follow us on our Facebook page.
We would still welcome a few more stewards to help on the day – for however much time you can give. If you think you could help, please contact John Lambert on jrlambert@doctors.org.uk
Epworth Music Day 2024it should be another grand day out! Spread the word!
We are a small, friendly and active club, founded in the 1930's. Our playing season is from 1st May to 30th August approximately.
Our activities vary from league matches, internal competitions and friendly matches. We enjoy some very good fun days with our members, which are held on a monthly basis. Also, we meet up socially at the clubhouse every month during the winter for fun-filled afternoons.
Bowling is not just for the elderly and we would like to welcome and encourage new members to join us, male and female, all age groups (children from age 12 yrs.). Our weekly roll-ups, which are on a Sunday afternoon, are well supported. People walking by will often stop to watch and have a chat, then end up joining our club.
This is a good opportunity to learn a new sport, make new friends, to exercise according to your own ability, all at a very reasonable cost. Social membership is also available if you prefer not to play, but would like to be part of our club. Why not come and have a go, you will be made very welcome and bowls are available to borrow initially.
Annual membership £35, Social membership £15.
Contact Anne or Fran who will be pleased to give you any further information you require.

Anne Everatt, the chairperson, welcomed members to the April meeting on Monday, 8th April. She informed everyone of a letter of thanks from Lindsey Lodge Hospice following the donation of £1000. The club had presented a cheque, which was the proceeds of the Open Meeting in November, at the March meeting. Anne went on to report that there was a programme change for May as the demonstrator booked had had an accident. Instead the club will have a Supermarket Challenge which is created by 4 (lottery selected) volunteers buying supermarket flowers and other volunteers demonstrating an arrangement with them. These have been enjoyable and successful evenings in the past.
Anne then introduced the speaker for the evening, Sue, who represented “Pollen” which she informed us is a retail and commercial florist-based business in Doncaster.
Sue gave us a fascinating account of how she became interested in floristry. She talked about graphic design in the retail industry and advertising and how the human eye responds to different stimuli. She mentioned how this has influenced floristry in the wider environment and how as times have changed it is no longer necessary to stick to rigid rules but to use one’s imagination and be creative.
Sue talked about the emphasis now on sustainability and the development of less packaging and the replacement of Oasis. Sue interspersed her talk with reference to door wreaths and began to show how easily they could be made. She talked of the history of them and how it is very fashionable and acceptable to have door wreaths at any time of the year. Sue demonstrated how to create a wreath using moss for a base on a copper ring and she proceeded to attach neat handfuls of evergreen foliage of great variety binding each handful tightly with florists’ wire. She completed the design with a raffia bow which enhanced the natural appearance and finally emphasised the idea of utilising what is naturally available.
Sue’s final comment was to recommend that we all should encourage the use of local shops and resources which in turn helps the sustainability of the environment
The meeting concluded with a raffle and refreshments and the opportunity to buy plants brought by members on a plant stall. This plant “Swap Shop” is always popular and provides additional financial resources as well as much amusement as individuals remember names and descriptions of how the plant looks later in the year.
The May meeting will be as mentioned, a Supermarket challenge and in June there will be a workshop given by Jo Smith, a floral designer.
We meet at 7.30pm in St Andrew’s Church Epworth on the second Monday of the month. Come and visit or join us.
On two consecutive evenings in mid-March approximately 30 members, though not all the same members, met for two enjoyable evenings.
The first evening was a visit to Sheffield Lyceum Theatre to see a production of Sunset Boulevard by the Croft House Theatre Company. A coach transported the eager ladies and as they arrived early there was time for a refreshing drink prior to the performance. Enthusiasm for the outing was guaranteed as the leading lady in the show was Mary Kingsnorth, known by many as Mary Daw. Mary is a local lady with an amazing amount of talent and she had liaised with the WI member who organised the visit.
Seats in the centre of the stalls enabled everyone to see and hear well. The version of Sunset Boulevard was created by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and has been in the West End and on Broadway. Mary was excellent as the leading role and was supported very ably by seven other members of the Croft Team. High Levels members had time to cross the courtyard after the show and await the arrival of the star. A drink was enjoyed by many and congratulations expressed to Mary on her arrival. A short while later it was time to climb onto the coach for the return journey. High spirits ensued as the coach driver ably returned everyone to their starting point, probably making bedtime a little later than usual for many.
The second evening was the normal meeting night at the Reindeer Inn, Sandtoft. Members and visitors were welcomed and after the usual rendition of Jerusalem a small amount of business was conducted before reference was made to the previous evening’s outing. The organiser was thanked and it was obvious how much the evening had been enjoyed. Details of future outings were given and further suggestions asked for. Thanks and reminders for donations to local foodbanks, an ongoing charitable act this year, were expressed before the evening’s speaker was introduced.
Stuart Garfoot talked on Canal Art but he picked up on the atmosphere from the previous evening and made amusing reference to it before he began. He spoke about the development of life on the canals and their place in the country’s history. He illustrated his talk with pictures on a screen and talked about how he became interested and how he painted some of the artifacts shown. Members expressed interest in his techniques and he demonstrated his craft. Concluding his talk Stuart told members how he painted artifacts which were used to raise money for canal charities, and he had a large display of items which members could purchase when the meeting was closed.
A raffle and refreshments followed, giving members an opportunity to socialise before many left earlier than normal after Tuesday’s late night.
In May High Levels will discuss the Resolutions which have been chosen to take forward to a vote at the National WI meeting in June. On a less serious note there will be a “get to know you” aspect of the evening. It may be a good occasion to join. The WI ethos is friendship so if you have been thinking of joining, come along. We meet to begin at 6.45pm and meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Future speakers will be on Yorkshire Edible Flowers and a practical workshop on Air Clay. Have a look at the website: www.highlevelswi.co.uk and see what else we have been up to.
Due to the restrictions of the pandemic activities may be postponed. Please contact your activity leader for further details.
