Welcome to
the October 2015 edition
“Listen! the wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves, We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!” - Humbert Wolfe I am always just a little bit sad as the nights begin to draw in. I think it is the realisation that another summer has gone by, and that once again I haven’t managed to spend as much time enjoying the outdoors as I had planned to. It is also the thought of needing jumpers, coats and boots to be able to step outside the front door, I am far happier in short sleeves and sandals! Maybe one day I will move somewhere with a sunnier climate for more of the year, but in the meantime I will have to be satisfied with planning for next summer. This month we celebrate the 100th issue of Bawtry Today. Bawtry Today was the 3rd magazine I launched back in 2007 and it quickly grew with the support of local businesses and lots of regular contributors. It has had challenges along the way – I am thinking mainly of when a large newspaper publishing house launched a magazine in the area and gave theirs virtually the same name! Fortunately (for me) it was short lived, and I am incredibly pleased that Bawtry Today continues to be as well received as the other magazines I produce. Long may it continue. We’re delighted and honoured to have been shortlisted for four business awards at the 2015 National Magazine Publisher’s Awards. The awards take place early in October, and I will report back next edition, or you can look out for our facebook updates to see how we get on! The November issue will be delivered to you late October. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 9th October.
Best wishes, Paula x

Harworth Colliery Football Club October 2015 Update Hello and welcome to this months update from around the club and as it is every Season September has been one of the busiest months! All of our teams have now got their campaigns under way and I feel there has been great optimism and a freshness about the club. This has been helped by having two new sides in the under 8s and 19s and I hope people can see that we are trying to build for the future and get behind us as a club as we are moving forward bit by bit. As ever I have people to thank for either their support or genoristy towards the club and over the next few months I will go into more detail about the new sponsors, I am delighted that again they are local and hope to have them around for sometime to come but I would like to thank this month JP Walton and Son in their assistance in getting the new turnstile in position that will also be used as club shop in the future. This was done free of charge, thanks also to Tez Griffin for arranging. Also I would like to thank Josh Forbes who with his father Joe arranged for British Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua to sign some boxing gloves for Paul Burns who genorously bought them in the Howard Webb auction, without acts of kindness and genoristy we would be going nowehere fast but I am thankful to all who help where they can. Onto the pitch and overall its been a good start for the club as a whole, the 1st team have started well with 3 wins a draw and a defeat in their first 5 games. We now have a squad capable of challenging the league and that’s the aim. At the time of writing we have only played one game at home but we received great support and
hope that will continue, people or small firms can also show their support by sponsoring a player. At just £25 is a bargain and comes with advertising through the website and our matchday programme, get in touch if interested. The Reserves have had an up and down start which is to be expected as they search for some consistency, but their remit is to give players not in the first team squad as well as getting the under 19’s ready for the step up. That leads me onto the 19’s who have been incredibly unlucky to lose their first two games 1-0 but against teams like Espial and Worsksop Town it is nothing to get down hearted about. Mark Latham who is working incredibly hard both with the 19’s and the 1st team has a cracking squad and once they finally get to play at home I hope you can all see for yourselves what the fuss is all about. The Juniors too are up and running and both the 14’s and 15’s have 100% records at the time of writing, the 14’s have gone up a league but this hasn’t fazed them one bit with 5 goals and two clean sheets. Keep it up both of you. Adam Kings Under 8’s have also played a couple of games losing both but the scoreline really is immaterial, it is vital that the kids are enjoying their football and I’m sure they are. Please visit our website on Pitch Hero just typing in Harworth Colliery for fixtures, match reports and updates on the Memorial stand that is progressing well (see poster if you can help) we are also on Twitter @HCIFC or on our Facebook page Harworth Colliery F.C. Hope to see you all supporting any of our teams through October Jonathan Wilson Chairman jonycw@hotmail.co.uk @jonycw.

Arts Review
& what’s going on - OCTOBER 2015 HILARY
Wave at YSP Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery Wed to Fri 10.00 – 16.30, Sat & Sun 10.30 – 4.15 Exhibition: Open Art : 17 October to 13 December – come and buy your Christmas presents from this ever popular exhibition of regional talent.
If you find yourself at a loose end this month, Dear Reader, and in need of a good stomp over good Yorkshire countryside, then can I recommend that you pop up to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (accessible by public transport or by car) and catch the last of the two major Summer exhibitions before they close. The Henry Moore exhibition was a marvellous thing, with a number of works that I had not previously met. The show was beautifully hung, the large galleries full of sculpture, drawings and prints. In one gallery, as you entered, you were eyeballed by a large reclining nude carved in a white limestone she was echoed by another across the room in made plaster. Many of you saw this exhibition and have told me how much you enjoyed it. The Tony Caro show continues through this month and is worth visiting, with a range of work from his long career, from the brightly coloured early pieces to some of the larger corten steel works, the best of which is up in the Longside gallery at the far end of the park (mini bus available) . Many of the pieces are from his own collection (Barford collection) that I imagine, were for him seminal sculptures, that he wanted to hang on to and revisit in his own time. Throughout his working life he worked with Pat, one of many assistants, who would, at the completion of a sculpture be asked to cut it up and turn it into a manageable transportable kit. Have a look at the larger works and observe the ingenuity of this de-construction. There are also some portrait heads, an excellent one of the critic Clement Greenberg and one of his wife, which if it had been made of me… well in her shoes, I would have been straight down to the solicitors’ office! This autumn the Tower of London’s Poppies come to YSP. Yorkshire Sculpture Park until January and until 1 November Caro in Yorkshire . Sir Anthony Caro (1924– 2013). Wave – the Poppies from the Tower of London are touring and to be seen at YSP www.ysp.co.uk 8

An Evening At The
Frogs Retford Bluebell Wood Support Group invite you to a Coffee Morning in the Buttermarket, Retford Friday 6th November from 10.00am until 2pm. As the days move all too quickly towards the hectic season of Christmas, why not take some time out for yourself and join us for a cup of tea or coffee and scrumptious home-made cake, or linger a little longer for a light lunch of soup and sandwiches. We are delighted “Chocolate Kitchen” will be supporting us again and there will also be stalls offering scarves, jewellery, handbags, books and candles. Naturally, Bluebell Wood Christmas cards will be available, so avoid the rush and buy yours early. Our Buttermarket coffee morning last year was our major fund-raiser; please help us make it an even better one in 2015.
Helping to Raise money for The Bassetlaw Hospital Bereavement Room For Parents In Memory of EVELYN BARBARA HAMPSON Sat 17th October 2015 4pm till 8pm at The Welfare Hall Whitehouse Road, Bircotes Doors Open 3.30pm, Licensed Bar Tickets £2.50 Adults £1.50 Children U16 ( Must be with an Adult ) Price includes a HOT DOG Tickets available from Keith & Emma Hampson 07588 781 940 or through Face Book Only 160 Tickets on Sale
The hospice provides eight beautifully appointed bedrooms for children and young adults as well as accommodation for families. As one young girl said, “it’s the best place in the world, it’s better than going on holiday and it helps a lot of sick children. Bluebell Wood makes you feel like you can do anything, they don’t just leave you out and say “you’re too sick to join in”, they find a way to help you do it.” However, it costs over £3 million every year to offer this support and less than 10% statutory is received from government funding so public support is essential. Finally, a few words from one of the parents. “Even though it was a sad time for us, we had happy memories of Emma being at Bluebell Wood. It was the worst time of our lives but it could have been a lot worse without Bluebell Wood.” Thank you for supporting Bluebell Wood. T

community Hello from the Mayflower Sanctuary, we are still in the throes of building work, which seems to be going on forever, but I do think we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. We are all so grateful to Mr Grainger for leaving this money to us in order that we are now able to make much needed improvements to our site. We will be able to house more dogs in better facilities which is also wonderful for our kennel staff too. As always we have some beautiful dogs and cats in our Sanctuary all waiting for a home they can call their own. It is such a shame that some of our residents are overlooked for various reasons. Maybe they don’t make the best of themselves in a kennel environment. But please be aware that once out of this environment most dogs and cats adjust really well and make wonderful pets. If you would like to be introduced to any of our residents please ask our kennel assistants and they will be happy to give you any information you require. Now a little about our two ‘joined at the hip’ lovely dogs. Bruno is a yellow Lab x and Roxy is a Terrier x. They have been with us for nearly a year. They have lived the whole of their life before that together. Unfortunately they came to us as their owner was too ill to take care of them. Bruno loves his walks with Roxy, however Roxy will not eat or walk without Bruno. A member of staff took them both home for a holiday and they loved curling up on the sofa having cuddles and being pampered. They are very chilled dogs. Unfortunately Bruno has been attacked by another dog so is very wary of other dogs. For this reason we feel that they would only be suitable to re-home with no other dogs and older children as they are both around eight years old they would adapt better to teenagers. They are both affectionate and love to be groomed. Although Bruno doesn’t show himself very well in kennels out of them he is back to his chilled lovable self. If you feel you could give these two beautiful dogs a home, however they must go together, please call us and come along and meet them. When thinking about adopting a cat or dog it is important to consider vet bills throughout your pets life. Pet insurance can be so helpful if you have an expensive vet bill. However check out the small print
Finding a forever home
as there are lots of different companies out there. Pet Plan is one of the best but it is always worthwhile comparing the market. On a completely different note we would like to thank many people recently that think of us when their loved ones pass away. Instead of sending flowers families are asking that mourners make donations to our charity. This is a very humbling thing to do, and we would like to thank families for thinking of us. The last donation we received was from a lovely lady in Tickhill whose husband recently passed away, she and her late husband are long standing supporters of our charity. This wonderful gesture was a very sizeable £ 232 Thank you again we are all very grateful. Now onto fund raising, we have a Pampered Chef Party in the reception area at the Sanctuary on 8th October starting at 7.00pm. Tickets are £2.00 and include tea, coffee, biscuits and food tasting. We will also be holding a raffle and tombola. Please call the sanctuary and leave a message if you would like tickets. 01302 711330. Please come along and join us, we hope this will be a very entertaining evening. Don’t worry I am sure they won’t be asking anyone to cook, only taste! If you are looking for that special pet please come along and see us, we will be happy to put you in the right direction. Bye for now. Margaret Godley

Both male , 18 months old Eric and Ernie originally came into care as babies with their Mum and were adopted as youngsters. They have lived a very happy life with their owners and existing cat, Lucy. Unfortunately their Mum has had an accident which means that she is unable to care for them any more. It was a heartbreaking decision but one that was best for the boys and Lucy. Eric and Ernie are very close so a home together is essential. It would be a dream come true if they could all go together. Could you offer these guys the home they deserve?

community Dear Styrrup Residents.
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR DISTRICT COUNCILLOR – BARRY BOWLES BLYTH WARD First of all a big thank you to all those who voted for me on May 7th; I very much appreciate your support. I have enjoyed the past 4 years and been very pleased to represent you on Bassetlaw District Council and also to make representations to Nottinghamshire County Council on your behalf, so I really did want to carry on. During the last 7 months I held a Councillor’s Surgery on the third Saturday of the month at Barnby Memorial Hall, Blyth, and Oldcotes, Styrrup and Scrooby Village Halls where people could come and talk to me and bring any concerns that they felt that I may be able to assist with. The dates were published in newsletters and on noticeboards around the Ward. However, virtually nobody came to see me! I am prepared, with the approval of Bassetlaw Council who pay the Hire Fees, to continue with these surgeries. Now is your chance to have your say :-Is there a need for these surgeries in your area? Could they be less than every month? Would they be better by appointment only? Any other suggestions? Whether my surgeries continue or not, I am of course, always available for anyone who wishes to consult me. We can discuss matters on the phone, I can visit you or we can meet somewhere of your choice. I also attend most Parish Council Meetings. Having attended public meetings at Oldcotes Village Hall on 19th June and Barnby Memorial Hall Blyth on 22nd June, it is obvious that there is great concern in the villages regarding proposed developments and planning applications. If you have any comments supporting or opposing these, and feel that I can assist in any way, do please contact me. I leave these matters to you and hope to receive your responses in due course. My phone number is 01909 732121 and my e-mail address is barry.bowles@bassetlaw.gov.uk I look forward to working with you and for you, for the next 4 years.
Barry Cllr. Barry Bowles Blyth Ward • Bassetlaw District Council T

Trading Wings for Wheels The 2008(Bawtry) Squadron Air Cadets were privileged to be asked to take part and assist with the Respect Bawtry Charity Car Rally 2015. Respect Bawtry is a charitable drivers group who aim to raise money through using their cars for Respect Carers Awards (www.carerawards.blogspot.com). The Cadets helped marshal drivers and passengers as they made their way up and around the Respect Green Burial Park. The day was kicked off in style as the Cadets stood to attention as War Veteran and fundraiser Ben Parkinson had the first ride of the day. The Cadets then got the chance to be passengers in some of the fantastic classic, vintage, retro and high performance vehicles which where on offer that day.

Methodist Minister
Dear Friends, Current events in Europe and other parts of the world have made me to reflect on the issue of compassion in my life again. During the times of reflection, one question that kept coming to me was, ‘how do I become more compassionate in this world?’ One of the answers was to look at the lives of compassionate people like Ghandhi, Mother Theresa and Jesus Christ. As I looked at these lives, I had to settle on some good reasons. Jesus, for example, was passionate about people, loved God’s creation, and was generous. He also had a painful life to the extent that the Roman soldiers killed him. In addition, Jesus did not blame people, was sensitive, and sacrificed his life for people. I concluded that it takes a lot of sacrifice to be compassionate. One writer has defined compassion as the ‘quality of being able to get to the skin of another’. Compassion is very demanding and it involves being with the person or doing something for the person.
I am not suggesting that you physically go to the Mediterranean or the plains and hilly countryside of Europe to walk with people from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of Africa. Neither am I suggesting that you leave your comfy homes and sleep rough with others on the streets of Doncaster. Some people choose to do that and is commendable. However, most of you may have been part of the backlash of responses that forced the Prime Minister to make a U-turn on this issue of refugees a few days ago. I wonder whether we may need to do more to ‘get to the skin’ of these innocent and weary people. To remind you again, sacrifices come in many forms – financially, emotionally and physically. As a member of a community that has so much to spare as compared to the refugees, the homeless
people on our streets, and the poor people living in parts of our communities, I wonder if it is time for you to consider the words of the Theologian John Wesley:
“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can”. There are many ways in doing ‘all the good you can’. One way is to respond to the appeals from the churches and other agencies, as well as the media, and ask God to direct your heart and mind as to the right way to act. To conclude, I wonder if you may want to pray with me the following prayer of compassion by Henri Nouman: “Dear God, I am so afraid to open my clenched fists! Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to? Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands? Please help me to gradually open my hands and to discover that I am not what I own, but what you want to give me.” Amen. Have a blessed month. Yours sincerely, Rev. Dr. Frank Okai-Sam Methodist Minister for Adwick-le-Street, Auckley, Bawtry, Harworth, Rossington, Sprotbrough, Sprotbrough Road and Tickhill Tel: 01302857952 E-mail: frank.okai-sam@methodist.org.uk T

Tickhill & District Lions Club Our ‘Summer Bash’ evening of music and food in marquees at the Scarbrough Arms on 26th June made a final profit of £987 but the Lions have decided that the plans of the Doncaster Detection Trust are so important to every person in south Yorkshire and Bassetlaw that we should make this figure up to £5000 from funds accumulated.
raises funds towards administration costs like paying for refreshments for visitors. The winner is asked to nominate a charity to which our club makes a donation of £50 if agreed by the members present. Two recent nominations agreed have produced cheques for the Cancer Detection Trust so that a total of £6164 has been donated in recent weeks.
Additionally a local Tickhill ‘Friend of Lions’ 69 year old John Godfrey decided he would use his love of swimming to try to raise funds for the same charity. Known to a number of groups through his love of quizzes he expressed an aim to swim 100 lengths of the Edlington Sports Centre pool in an hour. With the swim timed and lengths counted by Lion Dave Fenton, John achieved his target in 59mins on 28th July. He did very well collecting £964 which Tickhill Lions decided to add £100 to taking him over the thousand. John wishes to thank the staff at the pool for their hospitality and all those who have supported his swim.

Terrific Tulips If I could grow only one type of flower then it would have to be the tulip. Harbingers of warmer days, the choice available is mind-blowing. There are frilly parrot tulips bearing fringed petals, sturdy fat-flowered types and graceful plants with lily-like blooms. They are also tremendously accommodating. You can plant them much later than daffodils and narcissi because they don’t need to start producing roots so early. In fact you can plant them from now until Christmas! My mother uses them as annuals and rips them up after flowering but I can’t bear to do that so I plant them deeply and leave them in the garden where they return happily year on year. If you want to use them as disposable bedding you only need to plant them about 10cm / 4 inches deep. If, like me, you treat them as old friends then plant them 23cm / 9 inches deep and they won’t disappoint you.

By Rachel Leverton
Pot Luck Tulips are wonderful in containers. As a guide, a 25-30cm / 10-12 inch diameter pot will accommodate a dozen bulbs. For a larger 47.5cm / 19inch pot use 16 –18 bulbs. Cover the base with at least 5cm / 2inches of drainage material and 12cm / 5 inches of soil-less multi-purpose compost. Lay the bulbs in an inner and outer circle making sure that no bulb touches either another, or the outside of the pot. Fill the pot with compost to within 2.5cm / 1 inch of the rim. I finish pots off with strips of daisies or anemones planted around the edge in colours which complement the tulips. Water everything in but shelter the pot from heavy rain so it doesn’t become waterlogged and never water in frosty weather. I use water-retaining granules mixed in with the compost. These help to maintain soil moisture throughout the dormant season. Feed the daisies or anemones throughout their flowering season in the Autumn and the Spring and you should be rewarded with a beautiful display sometime in April or May. I love to plant containers of tulips by my front door. I have a red door so choose something like Tulipa ‘Apeldoorn’ in yellow and red varieties underplanted with red daisies. If you have a blue or green door you might like to try Tulipa ‘Angelique’ (pale pink) underplanted with pink anemones. Or how about Tulipa ‘Bleu Aimable’ a brilliant purple/blue variety?

Schools are back for a new term so we are about to enter the “cold and flu season” and with that in mind the following update from The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) is very apt. NICE states that colds and flu CANNOT be treated with antibiotics as they are VIRAL however they state the spread of such illnesses can be reduced by correct handwashing after using the toilet, before eating, before touching the eyes or mouth and after handling animals They ask that all children are taught, and all adults follow, the following hand washing tips
Step 1 – wet hands under tepid running water before applying soap Step 2 – coat all surfaces of hands with the soap and rub vigorously for 10-15 seconds paying particular attention to fingers, thumbs, and areas between the fingers, then rinse thoroughly in running water.

Harworth and Bircotes area. Nottinghamshire police are aware of several legitimate legal quad bikes in the area that have number plates, full insurance where the drivers have full driving licences, however there are still a number of illegal off road/quad bikes in the area. Throughout January to July 2015 the Neighbourhood policing team, have seized 5 off road bikes and 4 quad bikes that were being used in the Harworth and Bircotes area. Some of these bikes seized have been examined and confirmed stolen property where enquiries are ongoing. Some of these vehicles will be destroyed as the riders had no insurance and the bikes were not road legal. A juvenile is being prosecuted for fail to stop for police, No insurance and driving without a driving licence after being identified riding a quad bike in the area, where the Juvenile is due in court in September. There have also been several TORS (traffic Offence Report) tickets issued to persons identified riding off road bikes/ quad bikes in the area. Once again we are urging anyone who has any information as to where the quads are being stored and/or who is riding them to report this either directly to us on the non emergency 101 telephone number. Or if you prefer to report this anonymously you can ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Speeding Vehicles At the recent Priority Setting meeting the issue of speeding vehicles has been raised as one of the three main priorities in the area.

There have also been several speed limit. This equates to around incidents of off road bikes and quad 0.65% of vehicles monitored were bikes being used on the road in the shown speeding in the area.
Quad Bikes in the area
community Nottinghamshire Police throughout August have been carrying out fatal 4 and speed enforcement under Operation Drosometer in the East Bassetlaw area including Harworth and Bircotes. As a result several motorists were issued with TORS(Traffic offence reports) for various offences including speeding, failing to wear seatbelt, using mobile phone whilst driving and also drink driving. The operation also aimed to educate motorists where if they were issued with a TOR they also had the option if they met the criteria, of attending a speed awareness/ education course which they then had to pay for the course instead of receiving 3 points on their licence.
Burglaries and Shed Breaks in the Area
Our advice remains the same in terms of burglaries and shed breaks and that is for people to remain vigilant and check that they have adequate locks on all windows and doors. Also, check that security lights where fitted are
operational. If you are due to be going away on holiday ask neighbours, family or friends to keep checking on your property and to report anything that seems suspicious to the Police. Also ensure that you check that all windows, doors and outbuildings are closed and locked securely prior leaving your property. Once again we strongly urge people to ensure that all lawnmowers and other garden equipment are stored securely inside your sheds and garages. Please also ensure that a good heavy duty lock and shed alarm are fitted to try and prevent the contents from being stolen. We continue to offer free property marking by using Cre Mark where we will come out and visibly mark property to also help deter thieves. If you would like more information on this or to arrange for one of the local PCSO’s to call round to mark your property please make contact with them on their numbers shown below.

Harworth & Bircotes Town Council - OCTOBER 2015 NEW DOG CONTROL ORDERS CAME INTO FORCE 1ST SEPTEMBER Following consultation with the public, new legislation – the Public Space Protection Order – will protect the public from the actions of irresponsible individuals. The legislation means that dog owners in Bassetlaw can be fined for:• Failing to pick up dog excrement • Walking a dog without a lead in designated public places – this includes churchyards and cemeteries • Failing to comply with the ban on dogs from all fenced children’s areas. Many responsible dog owners do the right thing; those who ignore the legislation can face fines up to £1000, or a fixed penalty notice of £100 for failing to clean up after their dog. The legislation does not apply to dogs that assist the disabled. If you need advice or wish to lodge a complaint, ring Bassetlaw District Council (01909 533533) and ask for Environmental Health Services. FREE DOG CHIPPING You may have noticed posters in shop windows/notice boards advertising a free dog microchipping session at the Town Hall on Tuesday 29th September, from 11am to 3pm, organised by the Dogs Trust and Bassetlaw District Council. Remember, from April 2016, the law says you MUST have your dog microchipped. Interested? Ring 0207 8370006 or visit www. chipmydog.org.uk; anyone unable 28

to attend can arrange a different date, provided there are enough microchips left. DEALING WITH A PROBLEM A number of uneven paving stones on the shop fronts are proving to be a danger; they are laid close to a birch tree whose roots are causing the problem. Several people have tripped and fallen, so H&B Town Council have decided to independently address this problem in order to prevent any serious injury. Although this area is not our legal responsibility, following discussion with the necessary authorities we got permission to remedy the problem ourselves - on just this one occasion - so hopefully we will all be moving on a ‘level playing field’ and there will be no more unwelcome trips. STREET NAMING: 2 NEW PROPOSALS • An area off Snape Lane will form 7 commercial plots; the proposed name of the roadway serving these plots is Glassworks Way in recognition of what we knew as the Glass Bulbs site. • The Persimmon site at the top of Bawtry Road will have an access road into the development named Mirabelle Way.
NEW DEVELOPMENT, NEW JOBS A member of a company familiar with our Township contacted me late in August to tell me they intend applying for planning permission to build three units on Glassworks Way, Snape Lane. The units will be used to manufacture building materials. Collectively, this means 80 plus jobs if planning permission is given –whoopee! When I was asked if I thought the Town Council would be in favour of the proposal, you can imagine that my response was very positive. He went on to say the company had looked at a number of sites across the Midlands and South Yorkshire, but had settled on Harworth for a number of reasons e.g. availability of industrial land, along with good motorway connections, plus this company knows we have a positive population and supportive Town Council – so give yourselves a big tick, folks.

Reassuring for people like me who can’t make sense of any timetable! • That the Miners Headstone now in place on the land next to Colliery Road? There is still work to do on the site to turn it into a community area, and we are hoping the Bishop of Southwell will agree to a dedication ceremony - so therefore much planning is required to make this a true event for the community. All suggestions, ideas and offers of assistance are welcome, just contact the Town Clerk on 759037. NURSERY PROVISION FOR THE FUTURE Council has been aware for some time that as this Town grows, so the need for nursery places becomes more acute. Anticipating this need, H&B Town Council began negotiations with Bassetlaw District
Council about a development including a nursery, plus a sports changing room, and a further room for general community use, to be built on the Tommy Simpson Field. I am happy to report that planning permission for the proposal has now been given. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? On the surface, nothing. Council will be firming up plans, and costs, and then writing business plans and applying for funding from a number of sources – always a risky and protracted process; it’s a good job planning permission lasts for 3 years, as nothing is going to happen overnight! Council cannot address the need for more Primary School places; I know Harworth and Bircotes is ‘red flagged’ by the Education Authority but this responsibility lies with Notts. County. However, we have included a Primary School in the Neighbourhood Plan, recognising that as our population grows, so will the need for more educational facilities. THE CEMETERY: PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS Utility companies have been working on the banked long grass verge along the lane leading to the cemetery gates; this has identified a need for some ‘cosmetic’ work, such as removing the existing top layer of grass growing in simple sand and replacing it with fresh topsoil and grass seed, and installing new kerbing along the edge of the tarmac. Some of this work is being done by our staff as well as a local builder, so it has to

fit in with routine work, funerals, and availability of others. Please be patient, you may see the occasional skip, tractor, lorry and van on the lane as work progresses. Other improvement work is planned for the cemetery during the year – I will keep you updated. A FULL CEMETERY: Although the Cemetery has plenty of space for cremation plaques, it is full as far as new burials are concerned; this means the New Cemetery will now come into operation. There will still be some funerals in the old Cemetery e.g. where people have previously purchased ‘double graves’. NO BANKING FACILITIES: I am repeatedly asked ‘when will we get a bank?’ As far as I can see, the answer is ‘never’. If you talk to the major banks, it is obvious their focus is on reducing costs by closing smaller branches and thus shedding staff like a moulting chicken losing its feathers. People with reduced mobility have to rely on family, friends or a taxi to get to a bank, and for many this is a major challenge. So when adverts appear on the telly promoting ‘The Caring Bank’ or ‘Putting Customers First’, I find myself shouting back “Rubbish, you don’t care about Harworth and Bircotes!” Dealing with Money Worries If debt is a problem or you are really struggling financially, or perhaps like me the taxman is always asking you for more money and you don’t understand why, then there are two agencies here, locally, that can help.

community The Citizens Advice Bureau operates from the Community Information Centre every Thursday morning from 10 a.m. A financial expert is on hand to help you. The Credit Union is in the Community Information Centre every Tuesday morning from 10.30 a.m. to offer advice, give practical solutions and on occasions make a small loan. Please, get the right help and advice – don’t become a victim of a loan company. TO MAKE YOU SMILE As a small child who was very curious, I was sometimes a source of embarrassment to my family, mainly because of my many awkward questions plus the direct way I expressed myself. One day I broke my elbow and was duly taken to hospital; I returned home with a plaster cast covering most of my arm. When the time came to return to hospital and have the plaster cast removed, I noticed with alarm the doctor approaching me with a circular saw – obviously I needed to act swiftly. “You hurt me and my grandad will shoot you with his gun” I threatened. “Oh, dear” said the doctor, trying to mollify me. “And what does grandad shoot?” “Bullets, of course!” I replied, unimpressed by his lack of knowledge.
