NEED HELP WITH YOUR ENGLISH STUDIES? Working full-time as a private tutor in your area for over 25 years, here’s how I can

Welcome to

the APRIL 2014 edition

“You cannot open a book‌ ...without learning somethingâ€?

Confucius As a child I was an avid reader, Enid Blyton and Noel Streatfeild being 2 of my favourite authors, but first study and then work, and then a young family and other responsibilities reduced my reading time to the extent that the only time I would pick up a book would be on holiday. But a couple of years ago I resolved to give myself a little more ‘me time’ and part of that included reading. A simple pleasure but one which can be incredibly satisfying, and, depending on the choice of literature, totally enriching and potentially life changing.

So whatever genre floats your boat this Easter I challenge you to settle down with a cup of tea and a book or two for company. Open your mind and see where a good book can take you, whether it be learning a new skill or hobby, re-visiting a classic from your youth, honing your detective skills with a crime thriller or just a good old ‘chick-lit’ holiday book!

The May issues 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 4th April. Apologies for the early closing date, as you probably know I have 3 school aged children and where possible I like to take time off during their school holidays, so this month I have brought the print date forward a week so I am not at my busiest during their holidays – you never know maybe I will find some time for reading too!

Enjoy April and I will back in a months’ time with your May magazine!

Best wishes, Paula x

Who are Retford Ramblers, what do they do?

We are the local group of the national walking charity, the Ramblers Association. Of course we like to walk, talk, laugh and generally be sociable.

Focus on Bawtry Cricket Club Bawtry Cricket Club has quite a history and has been at the Memorial Sports Ground in Bawtry for nearly 100 years. We have members aging from 5 to 75 years of age and we are a Clubmark club – affiliated to the ECB. Recently there have been 2 senior teams the 1st Xl playing in Division 3 of the Bassetlaw League and a 2nd XI playing in Division 6. New for 2014 is a 3rd XI playing in the North Lindsey League this is to encourage Youth Development into senior cricket, as our senior teams have a large percentage home grown juniors! In addition to this there is also an indoor team playing in All Saints League .

The Junior section was formed in 2000 with one U11 team however there are now 5 Junior squads – U9 / U11 / U13 / U15 / U17 with close to 100 junior members – playing in both Doncaster and Bassetlaw Leagues. And there is also Grasshopper section formed 8 years ago for Yr1(5) Yr2(6) – fun, fun, fun!

open club always recruiting new players and New Grasshoppers , U9s, 11s, 13s and 15s always welcome.

In 2013, our U11s won the Doncaster League and Bassetlaw cup and our U15s won Doncaster League and came runners up in both cups.

We have Doncaster District representation at U9 / U11 / U13 / U15 and U17 level and a few talented players training and playing in the South Yorkshire Squad.

We have 9 Experienced ECB qualified coaches – Level 1 and 2 and we actively encourage some of our older youths to get involved with coaching.

The Club is developing in so many ways – great to see a young healthy club growing.

The Club has been successful in gaining funding from Bassetlaw District Council and Meeting New Horizons for a new outdoor

netting facility – probably the best netting facility in Doncaster. To keep it sustainable we need great local sponsors and we have a few named on the website.

There are lots of further sponsorship opportunities from £30 to £300 – Bawtry is a vibrant town and the Cricket Club has a lot of visitors.

The Club reaches into Doncaster / South Yorks / Nottinghamshire – what better way to market your own business than to be associated with such a good club.

Every sponsor gets a banner on the website , and a TV screen shot at the club.

We want to encourage new members, new players at all ages and sponsorship – if your interested in getting involved please check out http://bawtry. play-cricket.com - and send a message or contact Richard Haslam (Club Chairman & Coach) on 07747 010925.

They are both determined that Beth has a stress free Christmas.

False Labelin In the last article I wrote with the shopping basket I looked at a solution for food waste.

In this one I highlight some issues to do with food labelling and local reliability.

After the Horsemeat hoo-hah in the Autumn you would think that food manufacturers would have got their house in order, but it seems to be far from the case. The Guardian published some findings from a laboratory in West Yorkshire (8th February).

Food testing is the responsibility of local authorities Trading Standards departments. Their findings are alarming. One third of the food they tested was mislabelled. The headline horrors included a herbal slimming tea which was neither herb nor tea, but glucose with an obesity prescription drug, that had been withdrawn due to sideeffects, at 13 times the normal dose, fruit juices containing EU-banned additives, cheese with very little cheese in it, beef mince with pork and poultry in it and the worst, to my mind was a Vodka (not my drink) made from a substance used as an industrial solvent and also found in antifreeze. I bet that would go to your head, and everywhere else besides. The Guardian article didn’t name names, but you can bet your bottom dollar that much of this is in ready-meals produced for sale in supermarkets, where with lots of additional flavouring cheap chicken can be substituted for more expensive ingredients.

No horsemeat has appeared in recent tests but plenty of meats are of the wrong species.

So try this locally. Do the analysis test. I did in a Tickhill butchers.

I asked for the recipe for their pies. They looked at me as if I was going batty, and gently explained to me that there isn’t a recipe. Beef and potato pie, is beef and potato with some seasoning, and the pastry is flour, butter, lard and water. That’s it.

With the cuts from central Government many councils have reduced their checks.

‘Which’, the consumer watchdog, claimed that 10% of councils did not check that food was correctly labelled. The only way to be sure that you are eating good quality meals full of wholesome ingredients is to buy the ingredients locally or directly from the business doing the cooking. We are lucky in this area, we have a huge amount of choice. Pies are made in house, sausages are made in house, bread and cakes are produced locally and some fruit and veg can be sourced from local growers. This is not simply the domain of people with a good income. If you visit the blog of Jack Monroe http:// agirlcalledjack.com You will find recipes for meals which cost very little. She, Jack Monroe was a single mum to a toddler when she lost her job with the Fire and Rescue Service and went from earning a very good salary to scraping by on benefits. She

documented her struggles to feed herself and her son on just £10 a week on her blog, along with ingenious and delicious recipes that cost only pennies a portion. The Guardian began featuring her recipes, and she has since become an outspoken voice in the national media calling attention to food poverty in the UK, as well as continuing to write about budget cooking.

Her first recipe book, ‘A Girl Called Jack: 100 Delicious Budget Recipes’ has just been published.

The Food Programme on Radio 4 (Sunday 2nd March) focused on Butchers’ Shops. They are apparently doing well across the Country seemingly in the wake of the Horsemeat scandal. They are a meeting place, with lots of banter, chat and advice, and the product is often very locally reared, well hung and reliable.

Our local butchers will be able to tell you who raised the beef they are serving. And likewise our fishmongers know the provenance of their fish.

Growing Old

A frightening number of patients are told by health professionals that having to slow down is part of growing older and they are going to have to start putting up with aches and pains. Yet this needn’t be the case.

Of course we cannot stop the body from growing older and there will be changes that are part of the normal ageing process. Bones become less dense, muscle strength and flexibility is reduced and there will be evidence of joint ‘wear and tear’. A reduced metabolism may lead to weight gain which in turn exacerbates these problems.

The great news is that numerous pieces of research indicate that you can help yourself enormously by combating these changes with physical activity. Regular physical activity will help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce the loss of bone density, strengthen muscles and keep joints flexible. Exercise also means a healthy heart and good circulation with the added benefits of an enhanced mood and a good nights sleep.

As with most things, there may be glitches associated with increasing your physical activity – either problems getting started or obstacles to overcome along the way.

Physiotherapy can help. Physiotherapists can carry out a musculoskeletal assessment in order to offer you specific and expert advice on exercising and achieving good physical condition. Pain and stiffness associated with common complaints like arthritis, neck and back pain can be treated in order to help you achieve your goals.

I went to all three and to be honest I haven’t seen such well-acted, strong, roundly written, faultless work in a long while. The play Translations explained clearly why the Irish hate the English, making a microcosm of centuries of unspeakable cruelty in a small Irish village in 1833. Like the best Tragedy it was full of comedy, and the biggest clown was the English Army Captain at whom we laughed so heartily at the beginning only to have him transformed by the end of the play into the Devil incarnate. And I imagine it wasn’t just me, from the laughter in the auditorium, who empathised completely at the young English soldier’s attempt to join in the dancing in the Village ceilidh.

The casting was superb. It was Friel who wrote Dancing at Lughnasa which was made into a wonderful film, starring Michael Gambon, Rhys Ifans and improbably as sisters Meryl Streep and Kathy Burke – what inspired casting that was! So from this sublime season to the month of April where you will find The World Snooker Championships, Peppa Pig, Fame and Dirty Dancing. I am saying nothing more.

Misson & Springs WI What an excellent evening we enjoyed on Wednesday 26th February when we welcomed Gianluca and Kimberley from Mamma Guisi’s in Retford. Luca effortlessly demonstrated how to make pasta and helped two volunteers knead and operate the pasta machine. He stuffed some tortellini he had made earlier with a spinach, ricotta and parmesan mix and cooked them for us all to be able to sample. They were delicious! We shall certainly be calling in his deli and café when we are next in Retford.

Garden View

Climbing the Walls

If your garden is short on space, rammed with plants, or you simply have an unsightly vertical surface to cover, climbing plants can be used to great effect: from clothing frameworks such as pergolas and arches to hiding sheds and even neighbours!

Whether it’s as fast growing as a Triffid, a dainty floral twiner, or an evergreen clinger, I’m certain there’s a climber out there for you, it’s just a case of meeting your perfect match.

For those of you lucky enough to have a south-facing doorway, why not spoil yourself with the highly scented fragrance of Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides).

Not only is it evergreen, but it boasts the added benefit of a claret-red leaf colour in autumn. For those with a north-facing entrance, how about a plant combo starting with an early flowering Clematis tolerant of shade, such as ‘Frances Rivis’, followed by the stunning pink flowers of Rosa ‘Zephirine Drouhin’, perfect in shade with the added bonus of being a thornless variety.

If it’s a shady spot and a fast growing evergreen you require you really can’t beat Ivy, but I understand many people are not huge fans, so why not put in the extra effort and seek out a great alternative known as Pileostegia viburnoides. It’s a bit of a mouthful but not only is it evergreen, it will 26

As well as the other common examples, such as Wisteria (only plant this in full sun and if you are prepared to tie it in and prune it twice annually), Honeysuckle and Pyracantha (great for deterring intruders due to its woody thorns), there is a whole range of other shrubs which can be grown against a wall or fence, not forgetting trees of course, such as the beautiful trained fruit trees we often see in Victorian walled gardens.

Shrubs planted at around 30cm away from the base of the wall or fence can be manually tied in and make excellent wall cover, often with the added benefit of flowers.

Photinia ‘Red Robin’ for example, or Garrya elliptica make unusual evergreen wall coverings, and look great with a second flowering climber twining through. Don’t forget the huge variety of annuals available which you can grow from seed, such as Sweet Peas, Morning Glory, or maybe try climbing French beans as an edible wall covering?

Do ensure that you provide sturdy wires for plants to travel up. The best and most cost-effective way is simply to fix vine eyes (spaced horizontally around 2m apart) to the fence or wall and vertically at 30cm intervals. Then use a taught

network of galvanised wires to provide support. Be sure to tie climbers in horizontally and not vertically as most people do … this way they will look great in your garden rather than flopping over the fence and delighting your neighbour … now that really would drive me up the garden wall!

Until next time, happy gardening ,

You Need More Laughter Lines.

Church people are sometimes thought of as dour, sour-faced spoilsports; as if having a faith that helps us makes sense of life somehow automatically also makes us miserable. While I appreciate that noone ever describes themselves as lacking a sense of humour, I do assert that Christians generally laugh, joke and enjoy life at least

as much as anyone else. I say “generally” as there are always a couple of grumps in every group and churches have them too.

Jesus had some things to say on this issue, e.g.: that he had come so we might have life in abundance, and that we would know joy as we honour God above all else.

He spent so much time in parties that the so-called respectable people publically criticised him for doing so.

It seems logical to me that those who follow this Jesus would also find a rich enjoyment in life and would be known more for their laughter lines than their frowns.

I, for one, am keen to laugh more and frown less and so I’m looking forward to our Comedy Weekend at Easter.

Andy Kind a professional, award winning stand-up comedian whose mission in life is to make you laugh, in and out of church. Channel 4 were so impressed by his joy-filled approach to the Christian faith that he was featured on their programme 4Thought. Why not come along to one of his gigs we’re putting on and see if he can fulfil his goal of giving you more laughter lines?

ON SONG A damp and miserable February evening was brightened by Tickhill Music Society when the South African baritone Njabulo Madlala gave the audience some well balanced and wide ranging vocal treats, very ably accompanied by the sensitive playing of pianist William Vann. The rich and powerful baritone voice, which could easily fill a large concert hall or opera house, was appropriately tempered to suit the smaller venue and brought many musical delights.

The programme opened with four typically soulful Schubert songs.

These were followed by a group of English songs, three by Roger Quilter and the somnolent ‘Sleep’ by Ivor Gurney. The first half closed with three Richard Strauss items, the last one, ‘Morgen’ being particularly well presented.

Four evocative songs by Vaughan Williams opened the second half,

including the particular favourite ‘Silent Noon’ with words by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Two languorous French gems by Duparc transported us to a different sound world, demonstrating the singer’s ability to embrace a wide variety of styles.

The rich baritone voice was ideal for three American Spirituals, all delivered with fervour and conviction. The published programme rounded off with several

Tickhill and Bawtry Probus Club.

Voglia d’Italia

Regular readers might think that all we do is meet at the Millstone at 10.00am on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. True we do this but we also organise very successful short breaks for our members and their partners.

(the Italian Society for South Yorks and North Notts) Presents:

Last year’s trip to London included a guided tour of the Palace of Westminster as well as time for the obligatory (?) shopping trip. This year there is a coach trip to Edinburgh on 11th – 13th August which will include visits to the Falkirk Wheel, the Royal Yacht Britannia, the Edinburgh Tattoo and the Angel of the North. There are still a few vacancies which unless previously filled will be available to new members and their partners. If you want more details ring David Green on 01302 745623

“Lorenzo de Medici, Duke of Urbino”. David Lamb relates the extraordinary story of Raphael’s portrait of Lorenzo de Medici.

That’s the jam, our bread and butter is still our regular meetings at the Millstone Hotel which start at 10.00am on the dates shown in the programme for the next three months shown below: 10th April.

“Tales from the Dales”

by Mr Don Bullock.

24th April.

“The Day the Navy went on Strike” by Commander A York.

8th May.

22nd May.

“Three Queens” by Dr M Wilson.

12th June.

“My life and Crystal”

by Wilf Paddock.

28th June.

“First World War” by Mr F Etherington.

Something there for everybody so why not come along and join us – you will be very welcome.

Finally on a sad note we must record the deaths since January of two of our long standing members. Sandy Jamieson and Noel Walker were familiar faces at the Club for a number of years and they will be missed by many. Our deepest sympathy goes to their families at this difficult time.

Tickhill And District Lions Club SKRUM - Swaziland Kids Rugby Mission Michael Collinson, a Rossington mining engineer and charismatic leader went out to Swaziland in 1985 and quickly fell in love with the country, its people and the rugby scene. His playing career ended on Boxing Day 2002 when a driving accident resulted in severe injury and his severed spinal cord was beyond repair.

In 2007 he set up the SKRUM charity, with the help of his wife Linda, to combine his two passions: rugby and helping to combat an HIV/AIDS endemic which has lowered Swaziland’s life expectancy to just 32 and threatens to wipe out the population.

Since then SKRUM’S mission has been to give the school children of Swaziland much-needed education on sex awareness, while introducing an element of fun – Rugby. SKRUM will visit 6 schools each week, coaching and educating roughly 60 children at each school in the social skills necessary for healthy and responsible living.

The SKRUM programme has now kicked off in more African countries in partnership with HIV/AIDS and health awareness programmes and will visit a further 200 schools and reach 12,000 young rugby players in each country. They will also conduct Rugby Coaching and Officiating Courses at Teacher Training Colleges within each country, training suitable Coach Trainers to assist in promoting the SKRUM programme.

With SKRUM needing £200 per school to cover all costs, or £40,000 per country per year funding is important and help has come from players and clubs in the UK and South Africa. We have agreed to provide £500 towards this vital work.

EASTER EGGS We have 48 giant Easter Eggs being raffled in pubs, clubs and shops around the district. Many thanks to those of you who have already purchased a number.

Lion Phil Thomas.

Cemetery & Allotments

Newsletter Bawtry Town Council - MARCH 2014

Allotment rents (maintained at current level) are due for payment from 1st April and should be received no later than 30th April, 2014.

Payments can be sent directly to the clerk or any member of the town council (details at the foot of this newsletter).

It has been reported that persons have been picking the daffodils growing within the Cemetery – it is always wise to purchase such from a florist and respect the area of the cemetery.

Fracking An informative presentation was given to members, at which Austerfield parish councillors were also present, outlining the procedures regarding the 3d seismic survey being carried out in the area.

Members were advised that similar activity has taken place in the locality since 1952 and were advised that in the built up area of Bawtry and

Austerfield on this occasion would not be affected. It was mentioned that the area pertaining to Bassetlaw/Nottinghamshire County Council were the prime areas under consideration. The 3d seismic survey was the first stage and dependent upon findings and planning consents etc., further stages may follow.

Strong regulations were in place for such surveys and activities and were being adhered to.

Useful NUMBERS: Gainsborough Road Toilets Following the article in the last newsletter, only one comment was received by the clerk from a parishioner who felt the toilets should be closed. After discussion it has been agreed that the gent’s block would be re-opened as soon as possible, and that the facility will be continually monitored. The facilities were never intended to be profit making but to be of benefit to visitors to the town. Their future may depend upon a respectful use of the facility provided.

There first visit is on Sat 5th April with comedy A LITTLE IN TENTS. Pensioner Ron and his son Simon head off on a camping trip, despite neither of them having slept in a tent since a disastrous holiday in Bridlington in 1982. Ron is hoping for a relaxing break with a spot of fishing, Simon with a good book. All is going according to plan until larger than life Jill & Michelle pitch up beside them and stamp out any tranquillity. With each of them burdened with life's sorrows will any of them find the peace they are truly searching for - and will Ron ever catch a fish? Full of laughter, tears, tenderness and a dollop of camp site capers. Starring Michael Wardle as Ron, (Parkin the farmer in 'Withnail & I' and Gordon, Lynn's boyfriend, in 'I'm Alan Partridge').
