ON THE 3RD DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME…

Perfect gifts for anglers n a world dominated by technology, it came as a welcome surprise to learn that sales of junior fishing licenses in England and Wales have increased by 25 per cent since 2016. No one was happier to hear this than Andrew (Rew) and Sophia Landells, owners of fishing tackle shop, Rod & Reel.

Rod & Reel has enjoyed a long history in Bawtry, and for the last 31 years, it was known as R&R Sports. Then in November 2016, Rew and Sophia Landells took over the shop and rebranded it, giving it a new lease of life.

Having previously worked in the shop in his youth, before moving on to working as a sales representative for angling firm, Waterline, Rew then joined the fire service at Doncaster Sheffield Airport. But his interest in fishing never waned as he continued to fish for the Daiwa Don’s team.

Then in 2016, after hearing that the shop was on the market and knowing how passionate he was about the trade, Sophia suggested they purchase it.

Their aim was to build on the previous owners’ success and to carry the business into the future, modernising it for a younger market, whilst still serving those customers who had helped put it on the map.

“We are and always have been a traditional, family-run tackle shop with a long-

I

26 Eastside | www.eastsidemag.co.uk

standing reputation for excellent bait,” says Sophia. “Since taking over, we have sought to transform the old favourite into a new modern one-stop shop for anglers.

“We are lucky to have not only taken over a great shop with a long-serving and loyal customer base, but also a team of staff who have over 20 years working within the tackle trade between them. We pride ourselves on having excellent local knowledge and experience, and above all, we love fishing!”

Rew and Sophia hope to welcome lots of new anglers to the shop and are committed to attracting young people to the sport, providing a safe and constructive pastime.

Whilst the Environment Agency and Angling Trust are doing their bit by offering free rod licenses to anglers aged between 12 and 16, they want to help by challenging people’s perceptions of the sport.

They offer free WiFi, have one of the youngest sales teams in the industry and are building a social media presence to make themselves more accessible and relatable to young people.

They have already run a successful Facebook competition designed to celebrate youth involvement in fishing. They have also streamlined their product range, doing away with old sports equipment, to focus on what they know best – fishing tackle.

“Having said that,” continues Sophia, “we appreciate that not everyone knows their pellet wagglers from their plummets, which makes buying gifts for loved ones a challenge.

So we now offer a range of Stanley Flasks, Victorinox penknives and Bridgedale socks – perfect accessories for the angler or outdoors lover we all know. We also sell gift vouchers.”

Whether you are a regular on the bank or a first timer, you’ll get the same friendly and honest advice. Most customers love nothing more than coming in for a brew and to meet the head of customer relations – Gatsby the miniature dachshund.

“Renowned for our commitment to detail, quality and customer service, we promise to deliver you a fantastic visit to Rod & Reel,” adds Sophia. “We are committed to giving our customers the best possible experience and look forward to steering Bawtry’s old favourite into the future.”

If you are interested in getting involved in fishing or want to apply for a free license for a junior, pop in and speak to the team.

ou don’t need us to tell you about the delightful array of businesses that make up our town, but we thought we’d take this opportunity to ask you to support them, particularly over the festive period.

Our independent retailers stock some amazing gifts and decorations for you and your home, ranging from designer clothing and diamond jewellery to artwork. We also have a butcher for the all-important turkey, a drinks shop for your festive fizz and a florist, to ensure your home looks suitably attired.

With this community ethos in mind, we’re proud to support Small Business Saturday on 2 December. Spread the word and invite friends and family – it’s a great opportunity to finish off the shopping you didn’t manage to do at our Christmas event.

On that note, thanks must go to Bawtry Town Council for their support and for providing the traditional carousel, along with One Call Insurance, Wilfreda Beehive, Hudsons Yard and Solutions for Cleaning, who were integral sponsors at this year’s Christmas event.

Thanks also to Rebecca Dickenson, Tori Oldridge, Jackie Strickland and all members of the BRA Christmas steering group who put together another fantastic event.

Y

As is tradition, the unveiling of the Womack’s Christmas window took place on 26 November, revealing yet another visual masterpiece. Womack’s definitely know how to decorate for Christmas and I’m certain their window rivals displays in any major city, including London.

China Rose are also sponsoring the fantastic 20ft Christmas tree in Market Place again this year, and will be inviting everyone to buy a wooden heart decoration for just £2, write a message on it to a loved one and hang in on the remembrance tree in their car park.

All proceeds will be split between the Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia at Sheffield Children’s Hospital and the British Heart Foundation.

May we take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

| ILLUMINATE

Lighting up the night To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Maylfower Pilgrims setting sail for America, Bawtry held an illuminating ceremony that captured the imagination. By Hannah Sanders. his November, Bawtry High Street transformed into a magical, otherworldly place with a spectacular parade of lanterns, music and entertainment.

The commemorative event, Illuminate, was part of a countdown to the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower and recognised Doncaster’s important connections to the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims, some of whom came from the area before they sailed to America in 1620.

According to Sue Allan, official historian at Scrooby Manor, chair of the Pilgrim Fathers UK origins association, historian at the Austerfield Field Project and owner of the Mayflower Pilgrim Tours, one of the most important figures among the Mayflower Pilgrims was William Bradford of Austerfield, who served as Governor to the

reflect a famous quote from Bradford’s writings. “Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many.” These words sum up the Separatists’ brave stance in defying the state in order to gain simple autonomous human rights.

Preparations for the event were in full swing for many weeks, with local artists sharing their lantern-making skills with schools and community groups. The lanterns were made from willow and paper, lit with LEDs. Organisations that have been involved with the planning and staging of the illuminate event Rt Reverend Paul Williams at St Helena’s Church include Doncaster Council, Visit

Plymouth Colony. It’s thanks to Bradford’s journal that we know so much about the struggle of the Separatists Mayflower Pilgrims and their fight for the religious freedom.

Sue explains that the word ‘illuminate’ was chosen for the commemorative events to

www.visitbawtry.com Doncaster, Bawtry Phoenix Theatre, Pilgrim Fathers Origin Association, Bawtry Town Council, Bawtry Library and the Crown Hotel.

A number of local schools also created wonderful structures featured in the parade including Bawtry Mayflower, St Oswald’s, Misson and Everton.

The event started with a candle lighting service at St Helena’s Church led by Rt Reverend Paul Williams, Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham followed by the magical lantern parade through Bawtry High Street which ended at St Nicholas Parish Church.

To continue the commemorations the Phoenix Theatre and Quirky Choir provided fantastic entertainment.

As part of the countdown to the anniversary, Illuminate events happened nationally during the third week of November, coinciding with Thanksgiving in America.

Following Doncaster’s Illuminate, there was also parades in Retford, Gainsborough, Boston, Grimsby and Immingham.

In 2020 the UK, USA and Holland will commemorate and celebrate the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, aptly named Mayflower 400.

L-R: China Rose restaurant manager Carly Hui with Estelle Johnston, China Rose and BHF mascot Mr Hearty

CHINA ROSE SHOW SOME HEART China Rose, on South Parade, Bawtry is once again inviting everyone to buy a wooden heart tree decoration this Christmas to raise money for two charities.

For just £2, write a message on a heart to a loved one and hang it on China Rose’s Always in My Heart tree in their car park. All proceeds will be split between PACT (Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia) at Sheffield Children’s Hospital and the British Heart Foundation.

There are around 38,780 people living in Doncaster with heart and circulatory disease and the money raised from heart decoration sales will help fund ground-breaking research to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat these devastating conditions.

The Bawtry/Doncaster branch of the BHF won the 2016 national Fundraising Volunteer of the Year award from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and have raised over £658,000 since the branch began 29 years ago.

The charity is also preparing for its annual Chase the Pud event, which will take place at Doncaster Lakeside on Sunday 3 December.

This is the seventh year that this popular Doncaster restaurant has supported these two charities. Hearts are available to purchase from the reception of China Rose.

China Rose have regular live music evenings and recently hosted their first Classical Showtime event, which featured the amazing voices and unique harmonies of three tenors, Tre Amici.

MEET THE ARTIST AT LIMITED 2 ART One of the most popular artists of his generation, Paul Horton – the Storyteller, was the guest artist at the recent Meet the Artist event at Limited 2 Art, Bawtry.

Paul is often described as the modern-day Lowry, with his paintings being imbued with a working-class spirit and ethic that is rarely seen. In spite of this, there are clear and constant truths that only belong to Paul and his audience. He has an innate ability as a storyteller that enthrals those who have ‘A Snowman Story’ come to know and love his work.

“It was an absolute pleasure to have Paul and his son Mark visit the new gallery and we are honoured to be chosen as the only independent gallery in South Yorkshire now selling his work,” said Ruth Worsman, Limited 2 Art. “Paul has a wonderful loyal following and customers were thrilled to hear the stories behind his paintings, several of which, were influenced by his passion for his grandchildren.

“One customer had just come into the gallery to have something framed, but just couldn’t resist leaving with her first Paul Horton painting!”

The gallery showcased a special new release only available from galleries hosting ‘Meet Paul Horton’ events called Always By My Side, which is a really low edition size of only 40 available worldwide.

Paul Horton said: “The gallery offers a wonderful space and a great atmosphere, and I am so very proud you want to showcase my work.”

THE TOWN HOUSE BAR & RESTAURANT GOES FRENCH Guests enjoyed a wonderful evening at The Town House Bar & Restaurant in Bawtry, celebrating the arrival of this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau.

A full house of diners enjoyed French music, a classic fourcourse French menu, and of course, the opportunity to sample this most famous Vin Primeur.

Steve Burnett of Steep Hill Wines, who attended the evening, said: “It’s been a notably better year for Beaujolais Nouveau than we have had in previous years. Intense flavours of lots of black fruit, a touch of liquorice and spice and a beautiful balance.”

ROBINSONS EMPLOYEE CLIMBING THE FASHION CAREER LADDER An employee at one of the region’s most popular designer fashion boutiques, Robinsons of Bawtry, is embarking on a new element of her role to drive forward engagement with its customer portfolio.

Charlotte Johnson, 25, has become the boutique’s social media and customer liaison representative and will oversee many critical elements of the customer journey, which sets Robinsons apart from others, as well as continuing to work closely with the customers in the ladieswear department.

“Charlotte has become a valuable member of the team and her expertise in this area was evident,” said Wendy Jones, ladieswear manager.

“Allowing her to fulfil her potential by establishing this new role will allow Charlotte to develop further and will ensure that we continue to communicate and look after our customers in the best way possible.”

Charlotte, who previously worked in a high street fashion retailer for eight years, joined the Robinsons team last year. In addition to the customer service and social media aspect of the role, she will also oversee the new interest free credit packages, exclusive to the boutique.

Available on selected purchases, customers can spread the cost over six, nine, ten or 12 months at no extra cost. Terms and conditions apply and applicants will be subject to a credit check.

“This has been a hugely popular way of helping our customers manage their purchases and there has already been a surge demand as we run up to the festive season,” said Wendy.

“And, to help our customers manage their time too, we are delighted to reinstate our late night opening each Thursday until 7.30pm.”

Charlotte concluded: “This is a fantastic opportunity and I am enjoying the diversity and challenges that the role brings. With a genuine passion for the brands we supply I am certain that we can take the boutique into the new year with confidence and fantastic customer service for which we are well known.”

ON THE 12TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME…

A WHOLE NEW LOOK et in beautiful woodlands, Pure Medical Aesthetics Clinic provides the perfect environment for consultations and treatments.

Situated at St Catherine’s House, Doncaster, the clinic is fully equipped meaning all your needs can be taken care of.

With over 14 years’ experience in Aesthetics, Deby and her team are medically trained professionals, specialising in Aesthetic treatments which will help you look and feel your very best.

The team offer the highest standard of patient care, and use their skills and expertise to achieve the most natural long-lasting results in a range of treatments including wrinkle relaxers, thread veins (Sclerotherapy), IV vitamin infusions, PDO threads, chemical peels, Ultherapy®, and a variety of fillers that can address cheek and lip augmentation, temple hollows, jawline and tear trough.

Eastside’s sales executive Rebecca Hume recently wound back the years and indulged in lip, cheek and jaw fillers.

“I really love my new pout, full cheeks and jaw line. There’s nothing worse than looking

S

in the mirror and not liking what you see. I wanted to feel better about myself and more confident about the way I look after going through a divorce as well as having general ageing concerns,” said Rebecca.

“I had the best experience at Pure Medical Aesthetics Clinic with Deby. She’s a registered nurse and highly qualified trainer, so very knowledgeable on all the treatments.”

“The consultation was very thorough and each treatment was performed accurately with very little pain or discomfort. I felt immediately relaxed as we discussed the expectations, looking at the areas on my face I was unhappy with and she explained in detail what treatments she thought would work best – lip, cheek and jaw fillers.”

“The results were instant, and I immediately looked and felt better in myself.

As there was no down time I left after having all three treatments and continued my working day. People can really see the difference and it’s amazing the number of positive comments I’ve had.”

“I just want to thank Deby again for putting the biggest smile back on my face. I would highly recommend Pure Medical Aesthetics if you are considering anti-ageing treatments.”

Pure Medical Aesthetic Clinic offers various types of medical fillers, each one wellresearched and chosen by Deby for their ability to achieve a number of different results.

The most commonly used are dermal fillers which gently plump, lift the skin and soften wrinkles, while lip fillers gently enhance the volume and shape of lips and reduce the appearance of vertical lines. They also offer volumising fillers which are the most successful in defining and refilling lost volume in the cheeks, jowls and jawline along with gentle revitalizing fillers which improve the appearance of the skin, tone and elasticity.

Q&A: Send your wellbeing questions to Liz @Elizabethann61@live.co.uk One will be chosen and published monthly.

Dear Liz How can I minimise my weight gain over Christmas? I always overeat over the holidays and have a huge problem after. It takes me months to get back to normal, and often I retain those extra pounds for good.

Linda, Retford Dear Linda Here are a few cunning little tricks to help minimise the after effects.

1. Try to eat breakfast on Christmas Day. If you are full youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re less likely to fill up on snacks and chocs.

2. Avoid feeling uncomfortably full by eating slowly. Keep portions smaller, the key to successful eating is controlling portion size.

3. Be aware of how you cook things. For example, cut roasting potatoes into larger chunks and they absorb less fat.

4. Alternate alcoholic drinks with a glass of water; moderation is the trick.

5. Shopping is brilliant over Christmas, charging round the sales burning all those excess calories. Up your pace and burn 200 calories in half an hour.

6. Try to get back to normality as soon as possible, after parties etc. Send the leftovers home with friends, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep them in the fridge for the day after.

CHAMPAGNE TASTING

LET’S GET FIZZ-ICAL! EASTSIDE TESTS THE WINES THAT COULD ADD SPARKLE TO YOUR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS. When it comes to bubbly, you don't know if it's a top drop until the cork pops. And with plenty of supermarkets and specialist suppliers claiming to be able to outshine expensive Champagnes with a bargain buy, we asked our panel of Bawtry socialites to blind taste a selection of festive fizz, from Champagne to Crémant du Jura, prosecco to English sparkling wine, priced from £5.79 to £26.99.

Whether you're after cheap and cheerful or something special, there's a bubbly for everyone in our selections. And, as we discovered, you don't necessarily have to pay a fortune for a decent drop.

CHAMPAGNE TASTING

t’s the annual event that marks the start of the festive season, a glamorous gathering of Eastside socialites in one of the Bawtry’s best-loved destinations – The Crown Hotel.

Their task, to blind taste a selection of festive fizz, from Champagne to Crémant du Jura, prosecco to English sparkling wine, and crown a winner, so our readers can stock up on the best ahead of the party season.

With plenty of supermarkets and specialist suppliers claiming to be able to outshine expensive Champagnes with a bargain buy, we decided to put bottles under £30 to the test once again. And see if last year’s winner, Aldi’s Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut could retain the top spot.

Seven bottles of fizz were tasted, ranging between £5.79 and £26.99, and our tasters were asked not only to score their fizz out of ten, but to also identify taste notes and what they were drinking.

To conceal any clues, each bottle arrived at The Crown Hotel wrapped in foil, identified only by a number, so our tasters were truly in the dark about the bubbles they were sipping.

The evening began with a 2008 Les Pionniers Vintage Champagne £25.99 from Co-op and for The Crown’s Katey Dent, the sheer quality of this champagne was evident from the very first sip: “It’s not too dry or sweet, but has a smooth aftertaste that will please most palates. I’d hold my glass out for a second refill – or more. It makes you feel like celebrating the season.”

I

The champers also scored high with Eastside’s Rebecca Hume, thanks to its: “creamy texture and a sharp finish.” A fizz tasting veteran, she proclaimed the bottle: “a decent bet for a Christmas tipple.”

Up next was the first prosecco of the evening, a £5.95 prosecco Spumante DOP 2016 Vintage from Lidl, and for Sunnybank Gardens’ Rebecca Storey, this was not to her usual taste: “It’s a tad too fizzy and the bubbles dissolve too quickly on the tongue. It lacks a real core of flavour and the overall impression is one of a ¯

simple, if attractive fizz.”

The majority of tasters thought the next bottle – a £7.99 Exquisite collection Crémant du Jura from Aldi, was a bit on the bland side, but because it's “light and easy to drink”, friend of Eastside Emma Middleton said it would be her first choice to: “mix with orange juice for a cheeky Bucks Fizz on Christmas morning.”

It was all about the bubbles with bottle number four, the second Champagne of the evening and the most expensive fizz sampled – a £26.99 Augusta Brut NV Champagne from Majestic Wine.

Which for Jones and Co’s Louise Richardson delivered: “A fragrant and warming scent.” And it had lots of bubbles to “add to the party feeling.”

But her co-worker Andrew Bevan was left underwhelmed by this fizz, saying that: “Although very bubbly it smells like pot pourri that has been sitting out for a really long time.”

Up next was the second prosecco of the evening, a £7.99 Superiore DOCG from Aldi, which scored a disappointing 31 out of a possible 90 points.

Ski Olympic’s Jarrod Osbourne was first to cast his judgement: “It’s not particularly dry and leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Tastes rather like a tawdry prosecco. Pour it down the sink.”

And Rebecca, who had concluded she would drink most of the samples tried so far, declared: “If ever prosecco was mis-named…”

In contrast, our penultimate bottle, a £24.99 Leckford Estate Brut English sparkling wine from Waitrose, was a favourite of the night for Katey.“It’s gently floral and very English. A very good and easy-drinking wine,” she said.

And Jarrod was in agreement, regarding it the most expensive bottle of the evening: “This followed on from a run of rather oddtasting samples and brought some muchneeded relief. It showed a good depth of flavour and length.”

With high standards to reach, closing the evening was Aldi’s Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut (£10.99), which clinched last year’s top spot. But could it retain the acclaimed title this time around?

The Champagne failed to live up to its predecessor and fell flat with our tasters, scoring a disappointing 35 out of a possible 90 points. With both Katey and her colleague Paula Wigglesworth commenting on the “strong aftertaste” that didn't sit well on their palates.

On first sip, Andrew’s face was screwed up

in distaste as he declared it tricky to drink: “It's harsh at the back of the throat and the cidery-taste is overpowering. I couldn't drink a lot of it."

Whilst Louise made a second comparison: “It's light, almost too light in fact. It tastes like cava to me. I wouldn’t drink this."

As the final scores were calculated, it became clear that Co-op’s 2008 Les Pionniers Vintage Champagne had received the highest marks of the evening and that our tasters have discerning palates, as the vintage champagne walked away with the gold award at the inaugural Champagne & Sparking Wine World Championships 2017.

At £25.99 the Co-op’s award-winning champers outtastes many a top grand marque - according to the supermarket’s experts.

Taking the silver was Waitrose’s Leckford Estate Brut English Sparkling Wine. And in third, Majestic Wine’s Augusta Brut NV Champagne, the most expensive bottle of the evening.

So there it is, our verdict on what you should be sipping this festive season. And with the majority commenting that our winner left them desiring another taste, why not indulge in a few more glasses? It is Christmas after all.

Eastside would like to thank The Crown Hotel for provided suitably luxurious surroundings for our little get-together and for serving a stunning selection of canapes to keep stomachs lined during the tasting

IN BRIEF

Help raise funds for a new pitch for Doncaster Hockey Club One of the most successful sports clubs in the borough has launched a new fundraising campaign to generate over £50,000 towards a new pitch.

Doncaster Hockey Club, which was established in 1900 and has its home ground at the town’s Town Field location, requires over £200,000 to carry out the replacement of the pitch and other essential works to ensure the comfort and safety of its players and visiting guests from the 2018/19 season onwards.

“Alongside membership funds and external funding grants, we still need to raise more money to cover the shortfall,” said Barbara Bellerby, president of Doncaster Hockey Club.

“Asking for donations to ‘buy’ square metres of the new pitch will give players, friends, families and Doncaster businesses the opportunity to

make a contribution in securing the long term future of the club.”

Renowned for its commitment to developing junior members and engaging with the community, the club enjoys regional and national success with several members of the junior teams representing South Yorkshire, the North of England and England at various age groups.

Each of the 5,027 square metres is available

James (15) on track for racing success James Taylor has secured a fully-funded racing season in the 2018 Ginetta Junior Championship.

The 15-year-old from Wath-Upon-Dearne in Rotherham impressed across the board to beat 65 other drivers and claim one of the most soughtafter prizes in UK motorsport.

The three-day event, which took place at Ginetta’s own circuit, Blyton Park, saw James earn himself use of a G40 race car and entry for the 2018 Ginetta Junior Championship, along with insurance, consumables, tyres and fuel, plus professional car preparation from an experienced team for the duration of the season.

To make sure he is race ready by the time the 2018 season kicks off, James also receives a day of training at iZone worth £800, including media training with renowned television presenter Louise Goodman and driver training by top motorsport coaches on state-of-the-art simulators.

James said: “I can’t believe it! I’ve been karting for seven years and always admired the Ginetta Junior Championship.

“As a Yorkshire lad, I think I will fit in with the Ginetta family well. I can’t thank the staff, instructors and assessors enough for the help and advice they’ve given me to get me where I am today.”

The Ginetta Junior Championship is the UK’s longest running and most prestigious junior series, making the calibre of entrants into this year’s scholarship some of the highest the competition has ever seen.

to purchase at £10 each (or multiples thereof) or one of the 91 strips for £550. All those who contribute will be invited to view the new pitch at an official opening event and will have their names and/or company logos featured on a huge sign heralding all contributors, which will remain pitch side indefinitely.

A series of fundraising events will take place during the 2017/18 season including the annual hockey club ball, the pitch ball, junior presentation eventing, a cheese and wine night and a coaching skills workshop.

To make a contribution, contact Kirk Bellerby, Sponsorship Secretary on 07779 726040.
