Welcome to the June 2022 issue of the Hatfield Arrow.
This month I’m looking forward to spending more time outdoors with family and friends, as we hopefully see the weather improving, as we head towards the longest day on the 21st June! At last The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations are here. I hope there are lots of community events and activities happening in the villages: street parties, picnics, concerts, tea dances. What ever you decide to do, celebrate in style. I would love to receive some photos of the day so we can publish them in the next issue The deadline for the July Issue is Thursday 16th June Best Wishes Julie Morrell Tel: 07854 880882 Julie@arrowpublications.co.uk www.arrowpublications.co.uk Find us on facebook

HATFIELD WOODHOUSE AMATEUR GARDENING SOCIETY May’s meeting of the Society was on Tuesday 5 May at Hatfield Woodhouse Club. As a change from our usual type of evening of having an invited speaker, this time we had a Plant Sale. Members and guests were invited to bring their spare plants of all sizes to sell, with the proceeds going to club funds. And the result was incredible. It was reckoned by one of our long time members that this was the largest meeting, in terms of the number of people there, that the Society has ever had, certainly the largest for a long time. There were masses of plants for sale, and although relatively small prices are asked for, the club funds did OK. A bonus for the club was that new members signed up. So who says gardening and garden clubs are in decline. Not us after this great evening. And now back down to earth. There will NOT be the usual Tuesday evening meeting on 7 June because the Society will be having its Annual Outing on the following Sunday (12 June) to Burton Agnes Hall and Gardens, near Bridlington. Over that weekend the Hall are holding a Special Plants Sale, so it is a very appropriate time to have this outing.

Hatfield Community Library Our Easter activities were a mixture of the successful and unsuccessful which is a first for us. The first Lego activity went well and all the children completed their task and had fun trying out their Lego computer programmed models. Unfortunately, the second session had to be cancelled as the Lego sets were stolen. Sadly, the creative activity did not live up to expectations so we can only apologise to those people who attended. However, the Thorne Rural Lions’ coffee morning on April 30th. was a success. It was well attended and all participating parties (all of whom work in the community) made some money for their funds. I sadly succumbed to the lure of the cake stall and bought a coffee cake. I must congratulate the person who baked it as it didn’t last long. Not all eaten by me I hasten to add. Coffee mornings at the library are becoming a regular event on the last Saturday of the month. At the end of May The Friends of Hatfield Church including the DN7 Food Bank are having a coffee morning and then The Cubs and Scouts are holding one at the end of June. Friends of Jubilee Field have a coffee morning in the offing. Please show your support for these local groups as they do so much good in the community. We have found a temporary solution to our Story/Rhyme time problem. As I mentioned last month, the WEA Little Learners, -Parents and Pre- School Group, are holding a series of Messy Monkey sessions for children aged 2-5yrs. These are timed to fit in with school starting and finishing times and all the sessions are free. Come with a friend or meet new friends and engage in some activities alongside your child.

Turn up at the library or for more information. Tel. 07833 716 797. Wednesdays, 5:15-6:15pm, £6 per session Doncaster Ambition Programme.

Yoga (gentle/chair yoga) 3:30-5pm £6 Thursdays and Fridays are when we have our Family History groups in. Unfortunately, these groups are all full. However, if you want to do your own family history research you can do this for free in the library using Ancestry and Find my Past. We can now access the 1921 census but only the Index as Find My Past are charging everyone (including members) to look at the Transcripts and this cannot be paid for in the library. However, the Index does give some useful information. If you want to access the records of servicemen from WW1 this can be done through Ancestry and Find my Past. If you wish to contact the library Tel. 842064 email hatfieldcommunitylibrary@gmail.com

THORNE CAMERA CLUB The club had two excellent speakers, first, Stephen Dean with 'Themes and Journeys' a talk on photographic trips over the last two years throughout the UK and was complimented with projected images with excellent landscapes with very moody skies with supplementary printed images, and second, Colin Lusby with a very humorous approach to a talk on the 'Art for the Untalented' in which he demonstrated simple manipulation of images can produce some very interesting results. All of the entries in our recent print competition were on display at our exhibition at the Coffee Morning held in the Methodist Church Hall. The attendance was very encouraging for both the club and the Methodist Church and similar exhibitions are proposed in the future. Our latest 'Print' competition, judged by David Burgess, again produced some outstanding entries. David gave a full and wide ranging critique for each entry which members found useful. David's final choice of entries were 1st Terry Gunnill with 'The Go Between', 2nd Bob Allen with 'Jaguar' and 3rd Anne-Louise Allen with 'Pensive'. Highly Commended entries were Allen Denby, Colin Jarvis, Bob Allen, June Horbury and Bill Mitchell. Commended entries were Lynda Ulyett (2), Allen Denby. We are now coming to the end of the first year for the new committee and into the Summer Outing Programme. The year has been interesting with a varied programme for the members to participate and enjoy and has provided a fresh impetus and enthusiasm for the club. The Summer Outings Programme for the summer months will provide a wide range of locations giving members excellent photographic opportunities. The venues will include:28th May Viking Festival, York. 13th June Bempton Cliffs 9th July Barton Bike Night 27th July Yorkshire Sculpture Park Wakefield 10th August Elvington Air Museum 24th August Beamish Museum (Mini Bus) We welcome readers of our column of whatever experience to join us on Monday evenings at 7.15pm at the Methodist Chapel Hall. Join now and enjoy the Summer Outing Programme. For more information please email Terry at cameraclubthorne@gmail.com MONTY'S MONTHLY TIP To photograph garden birds, keep the bird feeders topped up with a wide range of food to encourage a variety of subjects. Use a hide if possible to get close to the birds to enable a small bird to fill the frame. Set the camera to Aperture Priority, which will allow the camera to set the shutter speed and ISO settings and set a wide aperture.

The R ea c h ing C om m u n i t ie s funding will pay for artists to deliver creative sessions at The Point in central Doncaster and in Edlington. The groups are friendly, welcoming and inclusive – if people are unsure about attending, they can have a chat with a member of staff about what to expect. People are encouraged to come along and have a go – even if they don’t feel able to stay for the full session at first. Dr Elanor Stannage – the Project Manager for Creative Directions says: “Thanks to National Lottery players, this grant means that we can continue to run sessions that build confidence, improve and maintain mental health and wellbeing, and provide opportunities for people to meet people, make connections and build new friendships. This will make a big difference to people’s lives.” To find out more about Creative Directions, please contact Amy on 01302 493991 or amy@wearedarts.org.uk To find out when the sessions take place, keep an eye on https://thepoint.org.uk/whats-on/ National Lottery players raise over £30 million a week for good causes across the UK. The National Lottery Community Fund distributes a share of this to projects to support people and communities to prosper and thrive. During the pandemic, in 2020 alone, The National Lottery Community Fund distributed almost £1 billion to charities and community organisations across the UK.
