Welcome to the March issue of the Epworth and Belton Arrow. The first day of Spring and the days are getting lighter! I don’t know about you but it makes me feel so much better, the sight of bright spring flowers and hopefully warmer weather ahead after a cold and frosty February. Mothers Day falls on Sunday 27th March! If you haven't visited Gray and Ginger on the High Street, Epworth make sure you do. They have some wonderful and different gifts and wouldn't it be great to support a local business! Their advert is on the back cover. As we come to hopefully the end of the pandemic we should see more groups/events opening up again in the Isle. If you know of any please let them know so we can promote them! Its good to see live music going ahead in March, you can take your pick from Mambo Jambo, Doncaster Wheatsheaf or the Isle Choral singers. Have a browse through the magazine to spot their adverts. Next month I am hoping to receive some school articles again. The schools have suffered in the past few months with a shortage of staff due to Covid. Fingers crossed they will be back! Keep your articles coming in by emailing me carolyn@arrowpublications.co.uk The deadline for the April issue is Friday 11th March for delivery by the end of March. Enjoy the read.

The Epworth and District Flower Club has continued to remain active as far as has possible during the last 22 months. Members received flowers, a calendar and items for "do it yourself" workshops during the very difficult months. The AGM is held in February and as membership numbers have risen considerably it has been necessary to find a new venue. St Andrew's Church has welcomed us and it is anticipated that the future meetings will be held there for this year. The Club will continue to meet on the second Monday of each month and we have a varied programme. On Monday 14th March four members will produce a fixed price quantity of supermarket flowers and there will be four members who will each make an arrangement from these. The title is a Supermarket Challenge. An Easter workshop is planned for 11th April and a plant sale will be held. If you wish to join there is usually a chance of winning a lovely flower arrangement. Do join us on the second Monday of each month at St Andrew's Church, Epworth. We aim to begin at 7.30pm.
