Is it possible that spring is finally here? After an unseasonably wintery March, surely, we are now due some spring like days! Around us buds do seem to bursting from the trees and I know that my garden is full of snowdrops, crocus and daffodils, so I hope that winter is behind us.

The May issue will be delivered to you late April. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 13th April. May often brings the start of our summer events, so don’t forget to get the details to me in good time if you have an event to publicise this summer. Thank you. Enjoy April and I will be back in a months’ time with your May magazine.

HQFHV ΖQ $XVWHUČ´ HOG ZH recorded two crimes where items were stolen from people vehicles after entry had been forced into them. The commercial burglary I have referred to above related to some males smashing the front window of a business premise, entering the building and taking car keys to steal some of the vehicles from within the premises. A witness saw this and contacted 10 BAWTRY TODAY

You can reduce the risk of becoming a victim by taking some simple crime prevention methods and I can always arrange for your local PCSO, Liz Talyor, to visit you and conduct a crime prevention survey. In the meantime, please contact us if you see anything suspicious. Some news with regard to someone who we suspect may have been travelling in the area regularly whilst over the drink/drive limit. He was arrested twice in a week and has now been banned from driving for three years. I would like to draw your attention to our Chief Constables plan to visit Doncaster Councils Civic building between 6pm and 7.30pm on Wednesday 28th March. This will be a great opportunity to ask Mr Watson questions about local policing or raise any issues you may have. Finally, I would also like to remind you that you can sign up to SYP alerts by registering via www.sypalerts.co.uk. This enables you to have access to a fully personalised messaging service about policing matters in South Yorkshire.

At the end of February we saw, at Cast (in DonCASTer) the best piece of physical theatre / dance I’ve seen in many years. Gecko, an internationally-touring theatre company are based, improbably, in Ipswich. ‘The Wedding’ was a bizarre portrayal of a dystopian world where we are all married to the State. This message was clear and uncomfortable and felt real, however, there was humour and laughter (a group of four refugees emerging from their home – a suitcase), yes, it was a Shakespearian interlude of black humour, along with terror and wonderful, wonderful movement. Their work was completely compelling and the auditorium (which was sold-out) gave them a standing ovation at the end. If you missed it, you missed a treat. What a coup for Doncaster. Cast in Doncaster 8 April 7.30pm ‘KATE RUSBY’ in concert. 18 & 19 April at 7pm ‘NATIONAL THEATRE CONNECTIONS FESTIVAL’ Cast are hosting this event in April where local young people have the opportunity to perform new plays written for their age group.

Creating a more spacious feel to your home Whether you live in a cottage, a flat, a terrace or a detached property one of the biggest conundrums homeowners face is how to create a more spacious feel within a home. There are obvious choices such as using neutral tones, bringing in lots of natural light and savvy storage solutions which are all great but it’s how you utilise and make all these elements work together to make a small space look and appear more spacious. So here are my easy ways you can achieve a spacious feel to your home. Decorating When decorating a top interior trick is to include painting your skirting boards and door frames in a lighter shade than your walls. This will help to capitalise on the spacious and open feel you are trying to create as the woodwork will blend in with your chosen colour. Flooring Having multiple types of flooring such as carpet, laminate wood or tiled flooring within the different rooms of your home can make rooms appear smaller. Having one type of flooring throughout your home (or as many rooms as possible) allows for a more fluid flow as you move from one room to the next making rooms feel as if they are part of one large space. Flooring choices There are a couple of ways that you can give an illusion of having more space from the type of flooring your select. If you are choosing a wood floor select wider boards, and if you are using tiles select a larger format tile as the fewer grout lines you see the larger and more spacious the room will feel. Arranging your furniture Pushing all your furniture to the edges of your room doesn’t guarantee a larger room, pulling all your furniture away even if it’s just a few centimetres from the wall does indeed create the illusion of being spacious. Try positioning a console table or sofa a few inches away from the wall to make the room feel more open.

Selecting furniture When selecting furniture for a smaller room one tip would be to pick a sofa with legs. This gives the sofa elevation creating a sense of light and space. For a table, a round shape works well as it takes up less space and has no hard corners allowing the harmonious and spacious feel to flow throughout the room. Multiple pieces of smaller furniture will make your room feel cluttered and cramped. Instead, invest in key pieces such as one large couch instead of two sofas. Remember the saying less is more so have a think about the rooms in your home and their functionality and purpose of what the room is intended for to give you inspiration. Mirror Mirror Mirrors are an excellent way to bounce light around the room and can trick the eye into thinking the room space is bigger than it is. Placing a mirror across from a window is the best way as the light can be reflected directly into the room giving the room a much bigger feel. Window treatment To create a spacious feel, try to keep your window covering in the same hue tones as your walls and floor. This will create a seamless look and flow to a room. If you can leave your windows uncovered, this tricks your eyes into thinking your room has depth drawing your eye out into the landscape outdoors. Decorative accessories If you’re lacking on space, having a few treasured decorative items on display is key to not allowing the room to feel less spacious and cluttered. Hopefully, you are now armed with tips and advice on ways you can make a small space within your home look and appear more spacious. Don’t forget to check out our home interiors chic boutique store as well, we can provide you with some perfect home décor. Until next month

community Community Finding a forever home

Hi Everyone, Race night at Misson Community Hall was a fantastic night so if you didn’t manage to get there you missed a treat. This venue really lends itself to this kind of event. Big thank you to Liz and Kelvin for organising and everyone else that helped make it a special evening. The final total was £1,538 which was a great achievement. Marks and Spencer will be coming along to the Sanctuary at some point to carry out another Charity day and help us with lots of jobs that we never seem to have time to do. We will be outside the Wheatley Hall Road store every weekend in March with some of our resident dogs (weather permitting). It has been really super getting to know the wonderful staff and having their support. A huge thank you for all you have done for us over the last 2 years, you have all been stars. We have our next sponsored dog walk in Bawtry Forest on the 13th May this is a fantastic morning to walk with you beloved pet and raise money too. We will be selling cakes and hot drinks after your walk to keep those energy levels up. It’s great to see all the dogs interacting and its super for us to see them all with their new owners. Please come and support us. Ball tickets are going fantastically well there are about 3 tables of 8 or 10 left so give me a call if you would like tickets. It is at the Crown Hotel, 3 course meal with drink on arrival, disco, auction with amazing prizes etc. Price is £45. It promises to be a fantastic evening so gents get those dinner jackets out and ladies cocktail/evening wear out, tiara optional!

We are desperate for help with collections outside Pets at Home in Doncaster, so if you have a little time and would like to help please call us. Now on a serious note. We have a lovely little dog with some rather serious issues. At first, we thought she was self-harming, however, after further investigations the vets don’t now think this is the case. She is spinning her body to try and get to her tail (which she doesn’t have). We need a special foster carer for her to live in a home whilst she is still undergoing investigation. We are taking her to Lincoln University behaviourist to try and establish her problem, however it would be lovely for someone to take her home whilst this is ongoing. She is a lovely girl and loves everyone. If you feel you are able to help please leave a message on our answer phone and we will call you back. Many thanks. Please come along to check out our shop in reception, have coffee or just look around we will all be happy to see you. If you are looking for that special pet all of our kennel assistants will be able to discuss which dog or cat will fit in with your family. Our number for Ball tickets Mags 07969 203206 Janice 07590 455340. Our Sanctuary number is 01302 711330. Bye for now

He walks well on the lead and is not destructive. He tries to be clean in his kennel. He likes to guard his toys so a new owner will need to work on this with him, which is why he is not suitable to be homes with children. He will need all his basic training.

Then when he retired in 2016 he treated himself to a Jaguar XKRs in French Racing Blue. For some reason, and he still doesn’t know why, he had it wrapped in GULF livery. This proved so popular at the shows that he started looking at other racing liveries.

last year, he still managed to present a cheque for £4884, but he says it is his intention to dwarf that in 2018! Stuart drives to County Shows, Country Fairs and also open days, letting the public sit in the cars for a donation, and at some shows it is possible to ride in the cars. He stands all expenses of attending himself and is always on the lookout for companies able to help with sponsorship, so that he is able to potentially increase the size of his collection, attend more events DQG LQFUHDVH KLV IXQGUDLVLQJ H΍ RUWV If you are able to assist Stuart please contact him at sherwoodjaguarracing@gmail.com

His son suggested raising money for charity with his cars. Stuart already organised a monthly Whist Drive for ten charities so he decided to select one of those charities and he decided on Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice.

8 Essential Dressmaking Tools Everyone has essential tools that they use day to day in their job or their hobby that make things easier. Here’s a list of my essentials. 1. Measuring Tape Just hanging it around my neck makes me feel like a seamstress extraordinaire!! 2.

BAWTRY We weren’t quite sure what to expect when we welcomed John B Taylor to our meeting to give his talk entitled ‘Curiosities of Derbyshire and South Yorkshire’. It turned out to be a wonderful illustrated tour of the area featuring buildings, churches, sculptures and paintings with fascinating stories and associations. As an historian, broadcaster and researcher, John has a wealth of unusual and quirky knowledge to share. We learned that Matlock had the steepest tram system in the world, the Darley Yew Tree at Darley Dale is at least 1600 years old and that President Kennedy’s sister is buried at St Peter’s church in Ensor.

Another month has gone by in the world of Bircotes Swimming Club, and it was a very busy month indeed. How WLPH Čľ LHV ZKHQ \RXȇUH KDYLQJ IXQ As many of you will recall, last month we had 3 of our swimmers competing in the County Championships with some superb results. This month, our Head Coach decided to build on that and entered 9 teams to take part in the FOXEV Č´ UVW HYHU UHOD\ UDFHV KHOG DW WKH FRXQW\ FKDPSLRQVKLSV 5HOD\ UDFHV DUH YHU\ GLÎ? HUHQW to other competitions, as swimmers have to learn to work together as a team and it is very HDV\ WR JHW GLVTXDOLČ´ HG GXULQJ WDNHRYHUV 7KH atmosphere was electric. It was a nail biting day, and I’m not sure who was most nervous: swimmers, coaches or parents. Our teams rose up to the challenge and did a phenomenal job. 7KHUH ZHUH QR GLVTXDOLČ´ FDWLRQV LQ VLJKW DQG HDFK and every swimmer achieved a personal best swimming time during their leg of the race. It was nice to see how well the teams incorporated their friendship into team work. We’re very proud of their achievement, especially as this was WKHLU Č´ UVW DWWHPSW 7KLV LV GHČ´ QLWHO\ RQH HYHQW that will be returning on our events calendar. Below is a group photo of the relay teams.

$ ORW RI WKLV HQWKXVLDVP PXVW EH UXEEHG RÎ? from the coaches. Each and every one of them is a pleasure to work with, and is so dedicated to helping the children during their spare time, that I can do no other than applaud them and say a huge THANK YOU to Ericka, Guy, Lee, Steve and Sue. Also, to the poolside helpers, of course the parents, for taxiing the swimmers time and time again to get to training and competitions, and last but not least our sponsors. We look forward to updating you next month, as we have plenty in store for you. Mieke Foster, Club Chair Person.

Two weeks later we visited an away event at Worksop Leisure Centre. In total, 23 swimmers took part in the various races. There were 51 personal best times, 1 county championship time was achieved in readiness for next year and many medals were scooped up. All our swimmers continue to amaze us with their talent, dedication and enthusiasm. 36 BAWTRY TODAY

Why does God love you?

Dear Friends, I have just started my three-month sabbatical. Hence, I was wondering if I can continue to write to you since I am away from my desk. However, because I love my readers, I’ve decided to continue with it. Interestingly, some people have asked me whether I am on leave or holiday. Someone even asked me the other day if I was retiring. By the way, I am not old enough to retire. Simply put, Sabbatical is a time when I rest from DFWLYH ZRUN DQG ȴQG WLPH WR UHIUHVK P\VHOI by undertaking other projects. In my case, I have decided to undertake a few retreats. As I was saying, because I love my readers so much, I decided to send you a message at Easter. Come to think of love, I am wondering what would drive Jesus, the son of God, to die on the cross on Good Friday for you and me. I thought the answer may be from the Bible and it has many passages to answer this question. I wonder if I can mention one passage - Deuteronomy chapter 7: 7-8. “The Lord did not set his heart on you because you were more numerous than 40 BAWTRY TODAY

other nations, … Rather, it was simply that the Lord loves you, and he was keeping an oath he had sworn to your ancestors…”. This passage tells us that God’s love for you does not depend on who you are – status, wealth, or background. It also reminds us that we do not have to be good people before he lavishes his love on us. He loves us, just as we are. The question is how we respond to this love of God. It’s simple – to love him back. “He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul” (Deuteronomy 10: 12) Living in a way that pleases God is not easy, but God will help us to do it if we ask him to. He will give us his Spirit to be with us, teach us and guide us. God’s Spirit will help us to serve him. By serving God we will be able to help other people by giving the voiceless a voice, providing a place to the displaced, and standing up against the oppression perpetrated by those in power, among others. Remember that Good Friday leads to Easter. Christians believe that Jesus resurrected on Easter Day and brought his disciples new life and hope. The love of God produces hope for us all. Hence, take that love and hope to the world this Easter season. Let the world be a better place to live as you give hope to everyone you meet on the street. Have a blessed month. Yours sincerely,

Rev Dr. Frank Okai-Sam (Methodist Minister - Adwick, Bawtry, Harworth, Sprotbrough & Tickhill) Tel.: E-mail:

Bawtry Health Walk

Hello everyone the weather is warming up. The reason why I know this, is that the frogs have invaded my pond and are producing clumps of spawn. So that also means it’s good for walking with Bawtry Health Walk. We walk at 1pm from the Methodist Church every Tuesday (except on the 1st May). Come and join us for a 60-90 min walk and then a cuppa afterwards. We also do a shorter walk. For more information please contact Sue on 07909 033577.

Non-members: admission ÂŁ10 for each event at the door.

Marmen Quartet perform works by 0R]DUW %HHWKRYHQ DQG -DQÂŁĂ?HN

GRINGLEY, EVERTON & MISTERTON GARDEN SOCIETY In April gardeners from Gringley, Everton and Misterton villages welcome pioneer organic gardener Bob Flowerdew as their special guest speaker. Well known as a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4’s longest running panel show Gardeners Question Time for the past 20 years, Bob is a relative QHZFRPHU WKH SURJUDPPH ZDV ȴ UVW broadcast in 1947! He specialises on fruit, vegetables, organic methods and scented plant questions. Bob will be travelling up from Norfolk, where his family has farmed since Tudor times. His biography describes his loves as gardening, scented plants, good food, beautiful women, erudite conversation, outrageous ideas and whinging on about the state of things; his dislikes as bad, bland and factory food, over-egged political correctness, humourless prigs, and anyone else like him who continually whinges on about the state of things!

GLÎ? HUHQW IDUPLQJ DQG JDUGHQLQJ PHWKRGV These travels gave him an appreciation of good, fresh food, wines and bees. Amongst other occupations for a crust while travelling he worked as a chicken giblet washer, demolition engineer, care-home cleaner, dog impersonator, house boy and cook in a brothel, museum attendant, arcade mechanic and even a nude model. Returning to Norfolk from his travels he established himself as a gardener becoming particularly interested in tropical plants and JURZV RUJDQLF EDQDQDV SLQHDSSOHV FRÎ? HH and guavas in a double insulated polytunnel cleverly defying our chilly winter climate. He’s renowned for his masterly recycling skills and recent Washington Post readers were advised ‘to think of Flowerdew’s garden as a laboratory run by a mad professor’. Bob’s ‘No Work Gardening’ talk should appeal to keen gardeners as well as those not so enthusiastic. No doubt we’re in for an interesting and very entertaining evening. Bob Flowerdew’s No Work Garden – Wednesday 11th April 7:30pm – Gringley Community Centre (DN10 4RG). Tickets ÂŁ12.50 in advance: Chris Priestley – 01777 817754
