Crowle Peatland Railway Steams Ahead with New Locomotive!
Crowle Peatland Railway is thrilled to announce the arrival of LM336, a classic Wagonmaster locomotive from Ireland.
These powerful engines, built by the Hunslet Engine Company in the 1960s, played a vital role in transporting peat across Ireland for decades. Will Coleman, Trustee at the Railway, explains, "We're incredibly excited to welcome LM336. These locomotives are not only impressive machines, but also represent a significant chapter in Irish industrial history. LM336 will be a fantastic addition to our fleet, and we look forward to sharing it with visitors."
The arrival of LM336 is thanks in part to the generous donations of our members. Currently undergoing a comprehensive inspection, the locomotive is expected to be operational for our September Open Days. Imagine riding behind this historic engine and experiencing a unique piece of Irish peat-railway history!

Would you and your family enjoy Messy Church at Epworth Wesley Memorial Church?
Our Messy Church has been going strong since 2010. People of all ages enjoy creative activities, hospitality and celebration in a relaxed atmosphere, where no one is expected to have to sit still or to be quiet for long periods.
A range of activities including games, crafts and art are provided, linked to the session’s theme. Everyone comes together to sit as a group and share the theme, songs and prayers. We also have a food trolley. So it’s Christ centred church – but not as you know it. We meet in the school room of Epworth Wesley Memorial Church on the morning of the first Saturday of most months, starting at 10:30am. Next time: October 5th. There is no charge, but donations towards the cost of resources are very welcome.
A quote from one of the children, ‘I can’t wait for the next Messy. Can we have one every week?’
So come along and have some fun!
If you would like more information contact us at wesleymessychurch@gmail.com
Messy Church is part of BRF Ministries (https://www.messychurch.brf.org.uk) and groups meet throughout the world. The Messy Church® name and logo are registered trademarks of Bible Reading Fellowship, a charity (233280) and company limited by guarantee (301324), registered in England and Wales.
We offer a traditional 10-mile route and a shorter five-mile route, to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and experience the very special atmosphere that the Glow Walk evening brings.
Entry is £15, but if you're walking in a group of 5 or more, we're offering a discounted rate of £12.50 per person which you can select when purchasing your tickets. We'll have pre-event music and a fun warm up, and glow walkers are encouraged to literally light up the night with their outfits and accessories, whilst raising sponsorship to provide the much-needed funds Lindsey Lodge needs to continue to provide its care. For the last mile of the walk we are offering our walkers the option to walk with a memory lantern to remember their loved one.
When they return to the Hospice there will be a designated area in our garden where they leave their candle on the letters spelling out ‘Glow’ and write a message if they wish. There will also be a screen sharing memory photos of our walkers’ loved ones, which they can send in to us in advance by sending to marketing@lindseylodgehospice.org.uk
Whether it’s to walk in memory of a friend or loved one, a way of keeping fit, or simply to do something different with your friends on a Friday night – whatever the reason, you’ll be sure of a fantastic night – all in aid of Lindsey Lodge!

Epworth and District Flower Club
The Club’s July meeting was held in the usual venue of St Andrew’s Church but this time there were already many examples of the talents of several of the club members in evidence.
The Church had been beautifully decorated for the Epworth Open Gardens weekend.
Jane Walden was welcomed and her talk was entitled “To inspire a workshop”. No-one knew quite what to expect but her talk was delightful with examples of many different ways of creating stunning displays. She showed the group how to wire palm leaves so they could be manipulated into various shapes. The technique could be applied to other foliage too. The flowers she added to her first arrangement of foliage were purple agapanthus, just opening. She used a wreath ring for her second arrangement and inserted contorted hazel and a variety of foliage before adding 5 enormous chrysanthemums. Jane then fascinated members with her use of gutter protection wire and black birch twigs before adding green roses and pale small gerbera to create a green arrangement. She talked about the use of different materials and of her floral teaching career trying to encourage the use of different materials to create original designs. A trellis was made using covered dogwood which had been bent into the required shape with the aid of the weight of a chair. Clematis and roses were the flowers added to alchemilla, hosta and hebe.
Then the final arrangement was created into a circle of two hoops bound with birch twigs. Lilies and stocks were the flowers added and looped phormium completed the stunning arrangement. Jane didn’t describe her talk as a demonstration but she talked through a lot of different ideas and techniques giving the members many ideas for creating stunning arrangements at home.
As usual there were several fortunate members when the raffle was drawn and additionally some members gave donations to the proceeds of the Open Garden event taking home a few of the arrangements which had been left in the Church.
There is no meeting in August but at 7.30pm on Monday, September 9th a florist from Doncaster will entertain. Do come along and join us. If you don’t wish to come regularly make sure you have tickets for the Open meeting on November 11th at South Axholme Academy. This is always a very popular and entertaining evening with Mark Entwistle demonstrating this year.
