What a Show Thursday evening at Epworth Old Rectory was cool but fine when they opened the doors to a mixed crowd of theatre goers. Chapterhouse Theatre Company from Lincoln were presenting Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The six young actors had been on site from lunchtime setting up there stage and scenery, getting costumes and props sorted and making time for a late lunch /early tea in the refectory. Gates opened at 5-30 to let in the ones who had arrived a little early and admit a steady flow of people with their picnics, chairs and rugs, with one group even bringing in Fish and Chip suppers. everyone was settled and expectant ready for the curtains rising at 6-30. And what a treat they all got. The stage and scenery were well designed and constructed ready for the actors to take centre stage. They filled the evening with Drama, Music and Laughter to delight the audience who joined in wholeheartedly. The costumes and props were beautifully planned and fitted the performance. A triumph all round for both audience and actors, with the finishing touch from Chapterhouse being to allow family photographs to be taken with Alice and the White Rabbit. This was particularly good for the members of the audience who had arrived dressed as Alice and the Mad Hatter. Comments from the audience as they were leaving were very good, many praised the quality of the stage setting and costumes as being much better than other open air theatre productions they had seen. They had loved the performance and praised the six young actors for making their evening so enjoyable, and thanked the rectory for staging the performance and providing a safe environment for them all to attend. All in all, a great evening for all concerned. Keep an eye on the Rectory Website and Facebook page for any further information on events and daily opening information. or even better, come and join as a volunteer in sales and reception or as a guide and get the information before anyone else.

The Epworth and District Flower Club held another semi outdoor meeting in August. At fairly short notice a theme of Sunflowers was taken and three very able members created very different arrangements. The size of the sunflowers was larger than expected. They had been purchased from a local enterprising farmer and were delivered in milk churns as they were so enormous. Their size caused some amusement and a little concern for the demonstrators. However the skills of the members meant they were able to produce a variety of arrangements. To the dismay of those watching several long stems were cut short but the lower arrangements were very attractive and could be placed on a dinner table while some taller arrangements would grace any room. Just garden foliage was incorporated into the arrangements thus encouraging even the lass creative members to have a go for themselves. In addition to the seven arrangements there were parcels of five sunflowers to supplement the raffle prizes. A wonderfully relaxing evening was had by all. Linda Clark of The Spotted Dog Flower Company will be demonstrating to the Club at the September meeting in St Andrew's Church which is being used as a temporary venue but the October meeting will be in the Stephen Jones Community Hall in Haxey. That evening will host Lucie Griffin of Branching Out from Retford and will be on Monday, 11th October at 7.30pm. As the Club was unable to meet last year the Diamond Celebration has been postponed until Monday, 8th November 2021. Arrangements are in hand to have a meal at The Reindeer Inn Sandtoft and this will be preceded by a demonstration entitled "A Winter's Night". Mark Entwhistle had been booked for the evening when it was anticipated we would have the Annual Open Meeting but he has agreed to reduce the size of his demonstration so members only should be in for a treat.

In early October (Friday 1st to Monday 4th) our group of 12 young chaps are embarking on the National Three Peaks Challenge. The aim of this is to climb the three highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) within 24 hours. Over the past year, Covid has impacted heavily on the mental health of people of all ages and backgrounds which has made the work of charities like MIND more important than ever! To put this in some kind of perspective, 1 in 4 people experiences a mental health problem each year (pre-Covid). This has increased throughout the pandemic, particularly among young people. Everyone will know someone who has suffered with their mental health at some stage in their life, with all of us doing this being no strangers to the impact mental health issues can have on people close to us. With this in mind (pardon the terrible pun), it only seemed right to focus our fundraising efforts here. Spending time outdoors is a great way to improve your mood and reduce feelings of stress and anger, and although the National Three Peaks Challenge takes this to a slight extreme, it does you good out into nature.

MIND (the mental health charity) offers advice and support to those experiencing mental health problems and campaigns to improve services and destigmatise issues. This is an issue close to all of us as young people and young men particularly, but it's something which has a bearing on everyone. Your donations, however large or small, can help in so many ways; - A donation of £8 could offer a lifeline to someone in desperate need of support by letting the MIND Infoline team answer their call. - A donation of £15 could help us campaign for better access to talking therapies, crisis care and other essential mental health service. - A donation of £21 could keep Elefriends, MINDS online support community, running for one hour. Our initial fundraising target of £350 has been well surpassed. Our new target is going to be £1,000! You can find all of the above information on the Justgiving page/link below, this includes updates detailing our warm up and preparation that we’ve been doing for the challenge, as well as a good explanation of how donations can help MIND make a difference.

Beginners Bridge Club We are a small group of affable people who like to play friendly non competitive Bridge from beginner level upwards. We would really like more members to bolster this new club , meeting on Thursday afternoons at the Thurlow Pavillion in Epworth. Each time we have a short teaching session , followed by quite a lot of not too serious playing . Bridge is a card game that can be as difficult (or as easy) as you want to make it , but it isn’t a black art ..... it can be played as a casual card game or as an intellectual challenge , and sometimes phychic powers can be useful too ! The game is all about partnership & needs some concentration , but you don’t need to be an expert to play. Even if you’ve never played before we can show you the basics & get you playing almost straight away. Although it helps if you have a regular partner you can come on your own & we will find you a partner. If you want to come then you will need to join our club .Whatever your card playing abilities you will be made most welcome
