As Mother’s Day approaches please give a thought for all Mums at whatever stage of motherhood they may be, and don’t forget those around you who no longer have their Mums to treat this Mother’s Day. Don’t forget that if you are planning activities on the Tour De Yorkshire Day on 30th April do let me know so that we can include a full list of local events in the next issues and ensure everyone knows where the action is taking place!

The April issue will be delivered to you late March, over the Easter weekend. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 11th March.

Enjoy March and I will be back in a months’ time with your April magazine.

The last time her birthday fell on Mother’s Day was 11 years ago and on that day her 2nd birthday coincided with the distribution of the first issues of Tickhill Today – so we are also celebrating the 11th birthday of Today Publications this month.

With Mother’s Day approaching I looked for a Mum themed quotation this month! Part of the job of being a Mum is to encourage our children to reach for the stars, to support them in all their endeavours whether that be their first steps, riding a bike, taking up a new hobby, or any of the other new experiences and milestones along the way to adulthood and beyond. It doesn’t get any easier I am discovering, as the concerns we have when they are little, develop into new worries as the reach the next stage in their development. My youngest becomes a teenager on Mother’s Day this year and we become a three teen household! Such fun!

2008 (BAWTRY) SQUADRON 2008 Bawtry Air Cadets are a proud and distinguished Squadron with so much history within the town of Bawtry. This year we celebrate 60 years of being established in Bawtry but our history can place us in nearby Harworth & Bircotes the same year the Air Cadets was formed.

Bawtry Squadron was later formed in 1956 and stationed at Bawtry Hall which if you know your history was the location of No1 Bomber command during the WWII and the Lancaster Bomber, also in later years for the Cold War and also the Falklands War with the Vulcan. So as you see a very privileged Military history.

SO NOW AS PART OF OUR 60TH ANNIVERSARY WE ARE LOOKING FOR EX-CADETS OR EX-OFFICERS AND CI’S TO GET IN CONTACT AS WE HOPE TO HAVE A CELEBRATION IN SEPTEMBER Please contact the Squadron/Facebook or CI Victoria Aldridge (victoria_aldridge@hotmail.com) As for our Cadets they too have been celebrated with a wonderful Dining In Night at the Crown Hotel in Bawtry. Awards were given to some of our hard working Cadets and our staff were recognised for their achievements behind the scenes. After the wonderful meal, the Cadets let off some steam by hitting the dance floor till past midnight. A good time was had by all and a Thank You to the Crown Hotel for putting on a great night.

On Sunday 7th of February the centre of Doncaster came to a stand still as over a thousand Air Cadets, Officers and staff paraded through the streets from Cast to Mansion House and on to St George’s Minster to celebrate 75 Years of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets. The Air Cadets also repeated their Promise of allegiance together, which in total was around 800 serving Air Cadets. A very Impressive and an emotional moment for all involved. T

A “Week of Colour� for Bawtry Fashion Week

Tickhill and District Lions The History Lions Clubs began in 1917 as the dream of a Chicago businessman who believed that local business clubs should expand their horizons to include the betterment of their communities and the world at large. This belief became a driving principle and it was decided that no Lions Club should exist for the financial benefit of its members.

Lions Clubs became ‘International’ with the first Canadian Club in 1920. During the Second World War members of Canadian Lions Clubs, visiting London as servicemen, were appalled by the way the children of the blitz had to live and decided they wanted to help.

Queen Elizabeth was so impressed by their actions that after the war she sent Lord Leconfield to Canada to thank the Lions and shortly after his return the first Lions Clubs started to spread throughout the UK. There are now over 900 Clubs in the UK and Ireland, over 46,000 around the world in 208 countries and more than 1.3 million Lions, all dedicated to making a difference Lions Clubs International is the largest service organisation in the world and also one of the most effective. Each one of its members pays their own dues which collectively cover all of our insurance and administration costs. This means that all of the money raised by our Club can be distributed in full without any deductions.

The emergency services are all aware of the Lions ‘Message in a Bottle’ scheme.

A team for you!

Blizard Physiotherapy have welcomed physiotherapist Matthew Newton to the team. Matthew qualified as a physiotherapist nearly 30 years ago and has studied extensively throughout Europe. Like other physiotherapists at Blizard Physiotherapy he trained in the Maitland Concept – an extensive and detailed system providing a framework within which physiotherapists can deliver highly skilled treatments proven to be of clinical value. The concept is an open minded approach to patient examination and treatment of a person’ s movement and symptoms. Physiotherapists working within the concept have the skills to know when, how and what techniques need to be performed and how to adapt these to an individual patient.

One in three women is affected at some point by bladder, pelvic floor or prolapse symptoms. Often very distressing, these problems WILL NOT improve without action & can get worse as you get older.

Ask for Jenny Blizard or Kate Stower who are specialists in Women’s Health Physiotherapy including bladder / bowel problems, ante-natal and post natal care, sexual problems, pelvic & lower back pain

The concept is flexible enough to change with advancing medical knowledge and continues to evolve whilst holding true to it’s founding principle of having the patient at the centre of the process.

Having undertaken the gruelling process (spanning almost a decade) of becoming a Maitland tutor Matthew now teaches internationally allowing physiotherapists from many parts of the world to gain from his experience and develop the skills to work within the concept too.

Matthew joins the team of like minded physiotherapists at Blizard Physiotherapy on a Tuesday and a Friday whilst continuing his work for the NHS where he works as an Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Practitioner assessing, investigating and treating orthopaedic patients alongside the orthopaedic consultants.

To find out more about the Maitland Concept visit www. blizardphysiotherapy.co.uk or www.imta.ch

Hello from all at Mayflower Sanctuary.

Well so far we have escaped the horrid weather that has plagued some of the country which is such a relief for all of our dogs, cats and kennel staff.

We are looking for a couple of volunteer home checkers. Petrol will be paid and training will be given.

We need to make sure our dogs are twinned with the correct people, and homes that are safe, so home checkers are an important part of what we do. Interested ? Call the telephone number at the bottom of the page.

Ahead of Valentine’s day we sold red hearts for £1 to tie to the doors of our residents kennels. The Sanctuary looked fantastic with a sea of red hearts with some lovely Valentine messages written on them. A big thank you to everyone that has purchased them.

Sainsburies in Bawtry are raffling a hamper for us for Valentine’s day too so a big thank you to them for thinking of us. They are very supportive so thank you to them and everyone that bought tickets.

Little Tim I told you all about in the last Magazine is having his heart operation on the 16th Feb, so when you are reading this he will hopefully be well on the road to recovery and a long life. People have been so generous and we have managed to achieve nearly all of the money for his operation through donations.

We can’t thank everyone enough. I will keep everyone informed of his progress.

We have sent around 6 of our dogs with issues and no manners to School or Boot Camp as we like to call it, they are there for 6 weeks and their ongoing training is going very well.

They will be much happier dogs when they return and they will be ready to be rehomed with loving families.

Finding a forever home Does anyone out there have time to volunteer to be our maintenance man, someone that is a good allrounder that can fix a tap put a door on or move rubbish. It’s just general maintenance we are in need of.

We recently needed a door fixing on one of our stores it had come loose in the wind a lovely person Paul Redshaw came to our rescue.

Thank you so much for giving a few hours at the weekend to help us.

The company he works for is Lyndon Systems in Kirk Sandall so just to let your company know they have a special person working for them.

Name: Buzz Male Sex: Date into care: JULY 15 Age: Years Good with dogs: Most Good with cats: Yes Lived with children: ??

I am a very lovable dog that loves cuddles and affection. I can be slightly boisterous and does need plenty of exercise. He loves water and playing a lot. He is a very loyal dog and will make a great addition to a family. He will need firm leadership and guidance, without this he may become mischievous. A very handsome dog that needs a busy home to keep his days occupied.

I travel well and am very good with older children. *Please ask a member of staff for further information*

A big thanks to everyone that has brought washing up liquid, wash powder, black bags etc into us, these are just what we need. So next time you are at the supermarket and you would like to remember us we would be very grateful.

Then why did his owners leave him behind when they moved?

Luckily he was spotted scavenging for food by a concerned family. They made him a shelter in the garden and provided him with his meals but unfortunately they were unable to go the next step of offering him a home because of allergies.

Could you offer him the loving home that he needs and deserves?

Extremely loving and vocal he is such a treasure to have around.

In order that patients can identify and recognise staff the practice are developing a photo-board or display of staff photographs to be displayed in the waiting areas of both surgeries and in the meantime we at the PPG continue with information about the practice.

Please note that patients who need urgent care at short notice may NOT be able to see the doctor of their choice and the refusal to see a different doctor is not the same as not being offered an appointment.

Micro chipping law begins April 6th Dog owners who have not micro chipped their pet face a fine of up to £500 when a new law comes into force this Spring.

The aim is to reduce the 100,000 dogs lost or abandoned each year in England. Apart from untold suffering to the animals, it costs charities and taxpayers nearly £60 million in rescue and re-homing costs.

To help pet owners meet the April 6th deadline, the RSPCA South Yorkshire Animal Centre at Bawtry is offering while-you-wait micro chipping with no appointment needed. The cost of the chip and registering online is only £12.

Micro chipping vastly increases the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners. Chipping is simple and safe and the RSPCA offer applies to dogs, cats and rabbits.

When you visit the RSPCA South Yorkshire Animal Centre on the Great North Road, Bawtry, DN10 6DE, you can also take advantage of the charity’s new, bigger Pet Store where all proceeds go towards caring for rescued animals.

It costs an average of £10 a day to care for each animal at the Centre and the charity receives no Government or lottery funding. Help us by texting SYAC14 £5 to 70070, donate online at www.rspcadrb.org.uk, or why not volunteer some of your time.

You can follow the work of the Centre at www.facebook.com/rspcadrb T

Remember my Chains Dear Friends, On Tuesday February 9th, 2016 the Prime Minister announced that six ‘reform prisons’ would be created in England and Wales “to tackle the high levels of violence and reoffending”. However, there was some response from charities regarding how effective these measures are if “prisoners were crammed into filthy institutions with no staff”.

This issue reminds me of the Apostle Paul, who wrote a few letters to churches in Asia whilst in prison in Rome. One of the churches was in Colossae. In his conclusion to the letter to the Colossians, he stated, “I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you” (Colossians 4: 18).

I wonder if Paul may have dictated to someone to write this letter on his behalf. If so, I wonder if the conditions in which he found himself made it impossible to write since he was literate. Being in chains might have limited his ability to write.

Paul might therefore be reminding his readers to help him become free from those chains so that he could live a ‘normal’ life like anyone else.

Many people may not be in prison cells but find themselves chained up physically, emotionally and spiritually to debts, addictions, relationships, etc. Most of them want to live ‘normal lives’ but can only do so if we make a move to help them.

Secondly, Paul had earlier in the chapter asked his readers to pray for him to proclaim the gospel. It may be that Paul was not imprisoned as a criminal but because of the work he did as a preacher. This reminds us that every prisoner needs our prayer and help, be it a criminal or not. We do not have to judge them for who they are or are not.

I also wonder if Paul may not have been warning his readers of the risk of being Christians. It was a risky business to be a preacher in those days 26

Tickhill Today

so it could be that he was warning his readers to be ready to face the consequences of following Jesus. Talk of risks reminds me of Dan Walker who will replace Bill Turnbull on BBC breakfast show. This young man has his faith being tested because he has come out to declare what he can do and cannot do on a Sunday. He had to declare that his faith would not affect what he does as a journalist. Many of us face similar situations in our daily routines and are reminded that the world has not changed since biblical times.

I wonder if I can remind you that we are in Lent, a time to prepare for Easter day. The website RE:QUEST, explains, “Christians spend the 40 days of Lent preparing for Easter Day. They set aside time to think about whether they are living in a way that makes God happy. They will ask for God’s forgiveness for the times they mess up, and for his help to live in the way that he wishes. Christians specially remember all that Jesus did for each of them when he died on the cross on the first Good Friday. They also remember how he overcame sin and death by rising from death on the first Easter Sunday”.

One of the ways to live to make God happy is to consider those who are in prison cells as well as those chained emotionally or spiritually by their actions and relationships. I wonder if you may ask God to lead you to act in a way that will help such a person become free and lead a ‘normal life’. It may involve taking risks as the Apostle Paul and Dan Walker did but do not worry, God will lead you in all that you do by his Spirit.

Grace be with you.

Yours sincerely,

Rev. Dr. Frank Okai-Sam Methodist Minister for Adwick, Auckley, Bawtry Harworth, Rossington, Sprotbrough, Sprotbrough Road, and Tickhill.

& what’s going on - MARCH 2016 HILARY

turn up on the day and prepare to be educated and inspired.www.doncaster.gov.uk/museums

Miranda Sykes & Rex Preston – Firbeck Village Hall I don’t know about you, Dear Reader, but when winter descends, I feel like hibernating, it’s too much effort to go out, and it’s just so easy to collapse onto the sofa and do the knitting, … but Spring is on its way and eventually there comes a time when you need to wake up and greet the world, to take part and to enjoy yourself. There is so much going on out there, why miss out on it? I’d bought tickets for King Charles III which was touring to the Lyceum the first week of Feb. Even though the tickets were a fortune, the evening was so appalling weather –wise that I suggested that we forgot it…but we didn’t, we got out the galoshes and sou’westers and headed out, and the play was terrific. I knew it had won a slew of awards when in London, but didn’t know what to expect. It was written in Shakespearian Old English, so this piece of work, set in the near future appeared like a history –play, and it referenced so much – snatches from Richard II, Henry V, Macbeth (the set could have come straight from that one) and even Jarvis Cocker.

If you missed that, you missed a treat. So what is there his month?

St Mary’s School Foundation Stage have been learning all about space after watching Tim Peake blast off to the International Space Station. On Wednesday 3rd February, a planetarium came to St Mary’s so our youngest children could learn more about the sun, the moon and space travel. Together with Northgate Pre-School, they enjoyed exploring the universe. An alien dress up day and an alien party completed a fabulous day full of learning and new experiences! Here are some comments from our Nursery children: “Wow the planets look enormous!” “Are those real stars?” “We live on the earth and we can see the moon in the sky” “I would love to drive the moon buggy” ”I like the alien jellyfish in the stars”.

Lumley class (Reception), used their imagination and wrote about what they might see in space: ‘I saw an alien on the moon. It was yellow, had 3 eyes and 6 legs’ (Adam).

Some children wrote information books telling others about space: ‘I love the sun and moon. It is yellow’ (Alex N).

Others made spaceships to land on Mars.

Everybody sang ‘we have got a spaceship that will take us to the moon’ during the alien party where lots of jelly was eaten!

Wadworth School Young Voices-by Chloe in Y4 Yesterday morning I woke up feeling very excited and a little bit nervous too as it was the day for Young Voices at Sheffield Arena. We had an early lunch and then it was time to go on the coach to Sheffield, we sang all the songs on the way, everyone was happy and it was a lovely atmosphere.

When we arrived at the Arena everyone was so excited. We went into the Arena and it felt so big and empty compared to when I have been before to Disney on Ice. We saw the men setting up the stage and hoisting the huge speakers into place it felt quite scary as we were sat next to the stage, but it was very interesting seeing everything that happens before a show takes place.

When all the School’s arrived we started our rehearsals it was great fun. We had our tea and then all our families and friends started to arrive and the Arena started to quickly fill up and we were all trying to see our parents.

At 7pm the time had come, the show started, the Arena was dark and it was amazing seeing all the twinkling torch lights and the sound of people screaming with excitement. The Conductor started all the School Choirs singing as one, the band playing the music and there were dancers too. Different Acts came onto the stage; my favourite was Tom Billington who sang ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’. He was brilliant but looked a bit crazy with his wild hair and jazzy suit.

Before we knew it the show was ending, our parents went home and we set off back to school on the coach. I felt very tired.

Thank you to all the staff that took us and made it such fun, and a special thank you to Mrs. Rew for teaching us all the songs.

Young voices-A parent’s view I would just like to thank you and your staff for the excellent trip to young voices on Monday.

The information we received before the event and during was very good, and collecting the children from outside the arena was well organised.

Can you pass on my thanks to all staff involved?’

There have been many events that I have every intention of writing to say how pleased I am, and never get round to it. I would just like to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed Young voices the other night. I know Mrs Rew and many others put a lot of hard work into this, and it is much appreciated. For the children/school I think it is an amazing experience for them, and Fin has loved it– in fact’ it was his 3rd time!’

garden view

By Rachel Leverton

Lovely Lilies (and a spot of hard-pruning) The first day of spring this year is officially March 20th . Trees are blossoming and daffodils are in bloom.

The garden has woken up from its winter sleep and is full of promise.

But promise is not enough. A beautiful garden does not happen by chance. So what are the top jobs for March gardeners?

Pruning features large! Hard-prune those late flowering shrubs like Buddleia, Leycesteria and Lavateria, but only if the risk of heavy frost is past.

There are loads of varieties in the garden centres right now. Three bulbs fit nicely into an 8inch / 20cm pot and five fit into a ten inch / 25cm pot. I’ve found terracotta pots best because they provide enough weight to prevent these tall plants tipping over.

Spring-flowering plants such as Forsythia and Winter Honeysuckle should be pruned immediately the flowers fade.

Lilies need an open planting mixture which drains well so I use a mixture of potting compost plus a soil-less multi-purpose compost. The bulb tips should be a couple of inches below the compost.

If you haven’t already pruned your bush roses, now is the time. Leave about an inch of last year’s growth to encourage bushiness and lots of flowers. Shrub roses don’t need such radical treatment but would benefit from losing a third of their old, thick, woody stems.

Keep in a sheltered spot and water when the surface of the compost looks dry. Once the buds have formed, feed weekly with dilute tomato food until late summer. When the blooms fade, cut the stems down and place in a sheltered spot.

Lift congested clumps of snowdrops while they still have leaves showing.

Finally, stay on top of the weeds. If you leave them, weeding quickly becomes an insurmountable chore.

Ok, we’ve dispensed with the hard work, now it’s time to look ahead.

I have one word for you...Lilies.

I always thought they were tricky to grow, and so they proved, mainly because my garden doubles as a slug sanctuary!

44

Then I had an epiphany. It dawned on me that if I grew them in pots, slug prevention would be easier, plus I didn’t run the risk of slicing through the fat, scaly bulbs or tender shoots with my hoe while enthusiastically weeding my plot. Even better, it means you can grow them even if you only have a balcony.

Tickhill Today

Each spring, scrape away a couple of inches of compost and add fresh mixture, then repeat the instructions above. Treated like this your lilies will reward you for three or four years before they need re-potting.

There are a plethora of colours and scents available, so there is a lily for everyone. Try them. I guarantee you’ll be as in love with lilies as I am.

Community Awards Three years ago, Tickhill Town Council felt that those who had made a significant contribution to life in Tickhill ought to be recognised.

Thus began the annual Community Award Scheme. Since then, the awards have grown to encompass achievement in other fields as well.

Last December, three Tickhill residents received their awards during the Mayor’s Annual Reception. The Community Award, given to an adult who has made an outstanding contribution to the local community, went to John Marsden. It was said that John is always ‘going somewhere, doing something or helping somebody’ whether this be under the guise of church organist, involvement with Tickhill Together or just off his own bat. Whatever he does, his thoughtfulness and enthusiasm never seem to waver. A well justified award.

Reid Wass was the recipient of the Young Person of the Year Award which is given to a resident aged 11 or under for personal commitment above and beyond that which is expected.

He was described as a ‘kind and considerate young man who is an excellent role model to others’. Reid is a keen and successful sportsman, captaining his team at Tickhill Juniors and playing for Tickhill Cricket Club, but he also spent a considerable part of 2015 helping to raise money to buy a young user an electric scooter and a customised wheelchair. The young lady wanted, more than anything, to be able to dance and her customised wheelchair enabled her to do this. He raised funds by completing a 50 day Active Challenge, carrying out a physical activity for at least 30 minutes every day for 50 days. He also produced a portfolio of his 50 challenges.

This clearly demonstrated commitment, resilience and perseverance and made Reid a worthy recipient of the Award. (The young wheelchair user, thanks in part to Reid, is now entering dance competitions all over the world!)

The Alison Award is given to a resident of Tickhill aged 12-25 for any form of personal 48

achievement. In December, this went to Sarah Beevers for strength of character in overcoming negativity by taking up new challenges. Two years ago, Sarah set herself a fitness regime and, as part of this, decided to take up rowing.

She quickly become very adept at it and last year she achieved competition success at both County and National levels. This has inspired Sarah to continue with her demanding training schedule to develop her skills further. She hopes to pursue an academic career where she can get the coaching and opportunities to race that she needs. Sarah is another very deserving recipient.

Nominations for the 2016 Awards can now be made but only on the forms (which contain all the necessary information) available in the Library and KSM. They can be returned at any time but must be received by October 31st.

The Council’s website now has a new section ‘Community Awards’ so that nominations can also be made and submitted online. T

How much money is raised in Tickhill?

With coffee mornings, tea afternoons, raffles and a whole variety of events, a substantial amount of money is raised within our community.

Some thirty years ago a running total was gathered of amounts raised and I am wondering whether a similar count this year might be of interest to our town? In January I already know of £1125 being raised by 3 separate charities. If you would like your fund raising amounts to be included in a grand year-end total I would be pleased if you would give me a ring.

In Commemoration of the Life’s work of Ray Hill for Tickhill Many residents in Tickhill have asked about recognising the life’s work of Ray for Tickhill.

It was Ray’s wish that there be a seat placed at the corner of Darfield House so he could sit and look at the Buttercross. Following a meeting with the Advisory Group on 3rd November 2015, Tickhill Town Council is to launch an appeal for contributions for a “Fund” to allow for this.

Cheques are to be made payable to Tickhill Town Council with a note indicating “Ray’s Fund” If you prefer to donate anonymously the account details are 40-19-20 a/c 53919269 with reference Ray’s Fund. Thank you Margaret Cannings-Clough Clerk to Tickhill Town Council.

Les Francophiles de Tickhill On Wednesday 2nd March we welcome Michael Gildersleve to give a talk on “ The Little House in the Limousin”. Michael, who comes from Worksop, has had a second home in this area of France for a number of years, so can speak from experience.

Our topic last spring on the pro’s and con’s of owning a home in France attracted a wide audience: a success we hope to repeat this season.

Although we have had an Oxfam shop in Tickhill for many years, new people to the area may not know where it is, hidden away behind Pipers Car Sales.

It is a busy little shop and we are proud of what we do, primarily bringing clean water and sanitation to troubled places in the world, (politics and terrain permitting).

To run the shop we always need volunteers.

Just a three hour shift once a week would be a great help, so why not come in and ask about it? It is a good way of meeting new people and making new friends. T

Shall we start a cinema club in Tickhill?

If you are interested please come along to the Parish Room at 2pm on Tuesday 8th March.

During February Rupert Atkinson of Bawtry Film Society came to tell us all about hiring and showing films. Tickhill Parish Room can seat 60 people theatre style and has a licence to cover performance of music and film. If you are interested but can’t make the 8th March then please email dcolcutt@talktalk.net to help us get an accurate idea of numbers interested.

We look forward to seeing you on the 8th. T 52

Although it may be the depths of winter, we in Tickhill in Bloom are planning ahead for the The Annual General Meeting on 28th January Spring and Summer months. One issue that proved to be a successful and enjoyable evening. we have identified is that perennial one of Chairman Dick Green reviewed the year, thanking watering our plants at the Buttercross . We have members for their special efforts ensuring a pump, barrels and even water but what we the smooth running of meetings and events do not have is access to an appropriate vehicle following the sad passing of the late Ray Hill and to transport this equipment, ideally a 4 by 4 or also thanking friends and local businesses for similar.

Eric has decided to retire from searching for suitable speakers after seven successful years but will assist a new team of Karen Booker and Dawn Collier who were welcomed to the committee earlier in January.

The committee were all happy to continue and were re-elected en bloc. We enjoyed a buffet of cheese and nibbles followed by a variety of cakes - many thanks to the catering team. The evening continued with two super quizzes and the free raffle with prizes kindly donated by members.

Tickhill Institute Snooker Great to be back home After a long time in exile it is great for the Tickhill Snooker teams to be back home at last. It was a good home coming as well Institute A getting a 2 -2 draw against the League leaders Clipstone Social Club The two Institute victories were both convincing performances while the losses were down to the last two colours and could easily swung the other way.

Tickhill B went one better with a 3 – 1 win over a good Clowne team. Three of the four frames were close the pick being Frame 3 which finished 78 - 77. In how many games do you get 77 and lose. Still a good win for us in good company thanks lads. It’s good to be back.

TICKHILL PARISH ROOM March seems to have it all this year – Mothering Sunday, 2 Bank Holidays and Easter. The sun is rising earlier and setting later. Spring bulbs are popping up in gardens. Such a ‘hopeful’ month with us all thinking Spring can’t be far away! I think we’ve only really had one lot of snow, which didn’t hang around long enough to count. Although I shouldn’t speak too soon, should I? Apparently the terrible weather of 1947 only started on Valentines Day (it is the 12th February as I am writing this, so I hope I haven’t tempted Fate!! If you are knee deep in snow when this magazine comes through your letterbox – I AM SO SORRY, ITS ALL MY FAULT! The Parish Room is busy yet again, with all manner of celebrations and entertainment.

Some for all and some private parties. Any day can be booked – including Bank Holidays. I have a provisional booking for Christmas Day already!

Our regular groups continue – Ukulele (Mondays), Yoga (Tuesdays), WI and Francophiles (first Wednesday of the month), Coffee and Company (second Thursday of the month), Slimming World (52 weeks of the year on Thursdays) and the regular Coffee Morning every Saturday. But we still have plenty of vacancies for your own bookings and celebrations, although it doesn’t do to hang about and leave it till the last minute!!

Also in March we have two Soup Lunch dates on the 4th and 18th, from 12 noon.

On the 8th March Dorothy Colcutt has booked the Parish Room for a meeting with anyone who might be interested in forming a Cinema Club in Tickhill Parish Room. Dorothy has already met with Rupert Atkinson from Bawtry Film Club and now wants to go a step further to gauge the level of interest. The meeting 60

is at 2p.m. All are welcome. For further information ring Dorothy on (01302) 742140.

Looking forward to April we have a Quiz Night on the 15th, with Pie and Peas. Cost is £5, ring Lesley Lockett on (01302) 744600 to book your place and your choice of pie. This is always a good night, and don’t worry if you have a teeny team – we are quite happy to make up teams on the night, you might even make some new friends and win.

Breast Cancer Now (formerly known as Breakthrough Breast Cancer) are having a Coffee Morning on Wednesday 20th April.

Tickhill . . . but not TODAY

Tickhill and District

Local History Society

The title of the talk at our January meeting “The Tsar’s Bones” did not really do justice to Adrian Eccleston’s fascinating talk. Adrian, a retired police officer began his talk by explaining how the discovery of DNA had changed detection methods both past and present.

His talk took us through the imprisonment and murder of the Russian Royal Family, and the Bolsheviks attempts to get rid of the bodies, (burying them, exhuming them, setting fire to them, and burying them again before moving the remains once more). It was not until 2008 that all their bodies were finally identified, thanks to the Duke of Edinburgh providing his DNA as the closest relative. The Russian Government then gave them a state funeral.

The long held rumour that one of the princesses survived was also proved to be false, she was a Polish born imposter, who made a great deal of money from her claim. However, after her 62

Tickhill Today

death DNA once again proved she was a fraud.

This was a fascinating talk, the audience were spellbound by the story and by the photographs of the murder scene and burial areas which were amazing. And the Local History connection?

Well, the royal tutor to the Russian children came from Rotherham!

Thank you Adrian for an absolutely superb evening.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday March 17th when Victoria Ryves will talk about the Great War on Tour. A reminder of the carnage that supposedly civilised nations were prepared to inflict on each other only 100 years ago. As usual the meeting will be in the Methodist Schoolroom, Northgate at 7.30pm (doors open7.00pm) and visitors will be welcome.

St John’s, Wadworth & St Katherine’s Loversall Some of you may remember we held a Carols and Memories service in December which was well received by those you attended so we are going to hold another one in March. But Vicar you cannot sing carols in March I hear you say!

And we are not going to do so - instead we will be singing some hymns as we have a services “Mothers and Memories” at 6pm on the 5th March at 6pm at St John the Evangelist Balby.

This will be a Time for Mothers with memories and a Time for those who wish to remember their mums. In addition to some hymns we will read some poetry and have some bible readings.

Yes everyone will have a chance to light a candle and yes we will read out names - you can give us the names as you arrive. You don’t need an invite just turn up. Those remembered can have died recently or a long time ago.

Talking about death, dying and funerals raises big questions that we need to face at some point, but it’s sometimes hard to talk to family and friends.

The Church of England has been helping people think about these questions for centuries.

GraveTalk is a café space, organised by a local church, where people can talk about these big questions. The conversation is helped along

by GraveTalk conversation cards – 52 questions covering 5 key areas.

Our Lent Project is well under way and this year we are doing something new on Good Friday.

Brenda and Michael are going to walk from St Katherine’s Loversall to St John the Baptist, Wadworth carrying water with them on the way to highlight the plight of children having to carry water long distances in Africa. Please sponsor them as they do this as we raise money to help bring water to the village in Kigezi. We want to make this a family event so we would love you to turn up at 11:30am at St Katherines. We are going to make some banners and some crosses, sing some songs and then see Brenda and Michael on their way to Wadworth. We would love you to join in walking with them and taking your banners and crosses. When we get to Wadworth we can all have a drink and finish with a Good Friday Service, using your banners and our crosses we have made.

Also as part of our Lent project we have Afternoon Tea 2pm - 4pm on Friday 11th March in the Village Hall and an Easter Market on Saturday 19th March at 10am - 12 noon in St John’s, Wadworth.

Easter Sunday is on the 27th March and we celebrate at 9am Wadworth and 11am Balby. We are having a Bring and Share lunch at around 12:15 after the service at Balby. All Welcome.

GraveTalk is a café – so there is always tea and cake. You are then invited to sit at tables with three or four others. The GraveTalk cards will be on the tables, and each group picks a question and uses it start a conversation. It doesn’t matter if you only use one question – or work through all of them! The purpose is to talk and listen.

What we celebrate on Easter Sunday changes everything, and whoever we are, Easter can change us, if we let it. This year immerse yourself in the Easter story, perhaps to remind yourself of the basis of your faith, perhaps to strengthen your faith or perhaps to see why others believe so strongly. Come if you are curious or doubting.

Don’t let other decide for you - come listen, experience and decide yourself.

Light refreshments are offered throughout the event, which lasts about an hour, or longer if needed. We are holding a Grave Talk on Tuesday 29th March at 2pm in St John the Evangelist. All welcome no invite necessary.

Tickhill Town Council - MARCH 2016

As this month races to a close then so does my accounting year when the accounts and books are prepared for the internal and external auditors. The Council have been able to hold their precept steadfast, for yet another year, but this will be the last time as we see the introduction of the compulsory pension scheme and the living wage.

Plans are also in the infancy stage to have a deputy Town Clerk to ensure the present clerk takes her annual leave and to eventually ease the process of the clerk’s retirement.

Making improvements to the Pavilion has proved a real investment, lettings are up, almost to capacity and as a result the Council have been able to increase their staff level of Caretakers giving more opportunities in the area. The team now consists of Jamie as Supervisor, who deals with the bookings and Andrea, who is currently on maternity leave and Joanne. The council wishes Andrea a safe delivery of her daughter and looks forward to her return to the “team” The room hire for the Pavilion is still at £8.00 per hour and is ideal for children’s parties and the Council has decided to keep Saturday and Sundays as free as possible to facilitate those occasions. Please contact Jamie to have a look round and make those bookings. The Council asks for payment at the time of booking please as several individuals have not honoured their booking request and staff have turned out unnecessarily.

66

Tickhill Today

Jamie can be contacted on 07591 179658. If he does not answer please leave him a message and he will get back to you. If you can, leave him a text!

The Tickhill Town Council website: www.tickhilltowncouncil.co.uk is maintained by a volunteer councillor.

Please look at the site; it has a lot of information with a list of forth coming events too.

All Council meetings are advertised on the website with the current agenda followed by the DRAFT minutes from that meeting. Planning application numbers, with a brief description of the work to be carried out, are always displayed on the website and plans are available at the council meeting if you wish to make comments. These planning applications are also on the 2 notice boards in Tickhill alongside the agenda.

It is now two years on from January 2014 announcement by DMBC that it was their intention to hand over the running of the library to a Community Project. The project has not yet been finalised and is in the hands of the D.M.B.C. and the Charities Commission.

However, it continues to operate and we must say a big thank you for all the patience that has been demonstrated over the past years.

As a final point please could those individuals who park on the grass verges and on the Alderson Drive green adjacent to the cricket field refrain from doing so? It is spoiling the appearance of Town’s Conservation area.
