Welcome to

the JANUARY 2015 edition

Thank you to all our clients for their support throughout 2014

And so we welcome another year … 2015 I do hope that readers have had an enjoyable Christmas and that many of you are still enjoying festive treats and time with family and friends.

By the time you read this it will be the last few days of December or possibly just into January. As I write though it is still 2 weeks until Christmas and I am not really any more prepared for Christmas than I was when I wrote a month ago! Despite having far fewer Christmas commitments this year now that all my children are at secondary school and the days of nativity plays, school carol services and Christmas fairs are over, I seem to be just as busy as ever.

I have spent some time during December making plans for 2015 and setting some goals both business and personal. Did you know that goals that are written down have a 95% higher chance of achieving the desired outcome, yet only 3%- 5% of the population have any written goals. It isn’t something I have ever really done before so I will let you know later in the year whether I am a convert! Despite all the planning I am still no further forward with deciding how to celebrate the 10th birthday of Today Publications which is quickly approaching!

The February issue will be delivered to you late January. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 16th January.

Wishing you a Peaceful 2015.

Enjoy January and I will be back in a months’ time with your February magazine.

Best wishes, Paula x

Is your Physiotherapist really a Physiotherapist?

If you are seeing a Physiotherapist then you are probably going to say yes. Sadly, not all of you will be correct.

Since 2003, Physiotherapist has been a protected title. This means that anyone claiming to be a Physiotherapist or claiming to offer Physiotherapy treatment is required by law to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC is the UK’s independent health regulator. To register with the HCPC not only do you have to supply proof of your original Physiotherapy qualification (these days this is an honours degree), but also provide evidence of your continued professional development which justifies and proves you meet the minimum professional standards. The HCPC register is the register you would be ‘struck off’ from in the case of misconduct.

Call on 01302 511755 or email info@blizardphysiotherapy.co.uk Blizard Physiotherapy Limited, Bircotes DN11 8DE

Claiming or implying you are a Physiotherapist when you are not registered with the HCPC is against the law and yet this continues to happen.

The ONLY way to ensure you are safe and under the care of a qualified and registered Physiotherapist is to CHECK THE REGISTER. Before seeing any Physiotherapist please log on to the HCPC website at www.hcpc-uk.org.uk All you need is the Physiotherapists name and if they are registered then you will find their details come up. Alternatively, any Physiotherapist should be happy to provide you with their unique HCPC registration number which can then be verified at the same website.

This simple step takes just a few minutes but it ensures your safety and prevents unqualified people practising in the name of Physiotherapy and tarnishing our profession.

New Year, New Home,

New Way

The New Year brings new hope for homeowners looking to make a fresh start and climb the property ladder, as resolutions and post-Christmas blues spur buyers to begin their property search early. Marketing property promptly in the New Year means owners can benefit from the ‘spring bounce’ when sales traditionally increase between March and May. This will be especially true in early 2015, according to recent figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which demonstrate the strength of the market. Excluding London and the South East, UK house prices increased by 9.1 per cent in the 12 months to September 2014.

Graeme Naish, co-founder of Open Door Auctions, a family-run property business specialising in residential sales, comments: “Winter is typically seen as a bad time of year for the property market because of a number of factors - the weather’s bad, money is tight and people are preoccupied with Christmas preparations. Once Christmas is over and the January blues set in, people start thinking about the year ahead, making decisions and taking positive steps forward.”

The New Year can provide an opportune time for people looking to sell property, as buyers kick-start their househunting in earnest.

“Your home can actually be at its most inviting in the winter time and this can have a very positive and inspiring effect on potential buyers,” added Graeme.

“There’s nothing better than stepping in from the cold to a warm and hospitable house. January and February are great times for people to market their property.”

According to a recent study, buying or selling a house is viewed as the most stressful part of modern life - more stressful than bankruptcy, getting divorced or being made redundant. For this reason, a growing number of people are looking to auctions and other, less traditional channels to achieve a sale. Indeed, in the first six months of 2014, there was a massive 135 per cent increase in sales by auction compared to the first six months of 2013.

Competitive by nature, auctions can drive up the price of a property, are legally binding and require deposits to be paid on exchange. Around 75 per cent of properties sold at UK auctions are completed and exchanged within as little as four weeks, much quicker than the national average.

In its first two years of business, Open Door Auctions has hosted 20 auctions and sold 250 homes – worth more than £30million to local residents. For more information about the next property auction or to arrange a free property valuation, call the team at Open Door Auctions on 01777 712 614 or email help@opendoorauctions.co.uk www.opendoorauctions.co.uk

Misson & Springs WI And here’s one we made earlier….echoes of Blue Peter filled the Community Centre in Misson on Wednesday 26th November, as we struggled to cut willow and make it into a shape suitable for a lantern. And that was the easy part; we then had to cover the table with glue and soak pieces of tissue paper to transform our skeleton into an elegant lantern. Or not, as the case may be. Some were definitely better than others and most of us went home with our finished product and a battery operated tea light to complete the process.

Whatever the result, the activity was very enjoyable, helped along by refreshments and our speaker, Kirsty Champ, definitely gave us plenty to talk about as we endeavoured to complete our allotted task.

Our Christmas party on Wednesday 10th December was a great success with steak pie and peas and traditional games, and we are ready to start 2015’s programme with a postponed visit from Jackie Housely who will demonstrate and encourage us to decorate cupcakes.

Many of us already know her innovative and imaginative creations from the ones she made for our Leger Group Rally in September and are ready to try our own.

This month’s meeting, on Wednesday 28th January will also be the time to renew our subscriptions; we look forward to your joining us, either as a member for the whole year or as a guest at individual meetings. Please contact our President, Joanna Phillips on 07747443374 for more information, or turn up on the last Wednesday of every month, at the Community Centre, Vicar Lane, Misson, where you will be made very welcome. We always make sure that we have time for a chat and our excellent catering team provides an endless supply of refreshments, which includes home-made cake. T

- by Paul King Performed by the Phoenix Young Players, 12th - 14th January 2015 This allegorical play takes place in an imaginary community in a forest. The people living in this forest have never had any contact with the outside world and they live a peaceful life with no technology.

In the middle of their village is a large tree, a tree which the people believe holds up the sky.

Their peaceful existence is interrupted by a construction crew building a road through the forest. Unfortunately the tree is in the way.

The meeting of these two cultures has a disastrous effect on the stability of the community. Will the tree be felled and if it is what will happen? T

community Hello Everyone and a Happy New Year We hope you had a great Christmas, but here at the sanctuary whether it’s Christmas, New Year or the weekend work has to continue as the dogs and cats still need taking care of.

We have had lots of street collections over the Christmas period so thank you everyone that contributed to help make our collections a success. This is a very important part of what we must do in order to survive. Money is always tight, but this year we have noticed a huge difference in the amount of money that comes in.

We desperately need to increase our coffers; otherwise we will not be here for the future.

One way people can help is to donate a little each month by Direct Debit this will make sure that we can continue with the good work we do here.

You can also help by volunteering, there are many ways you can help us either by dog walking, fund raising or take a look at our face book page for other ways of helping us.

Would anyone be interested in fostering an elderly dog? We have at least 2 or 3 that just need a loving home to make their last years special. Even though they are well cared for it is still sad to see them end their days in a sanctuary when they have lived most of their lives being someone’s special pet. If you would like to know more please call us.

We also have also taken in a lovely white German Shepherd who is around 3 years old. Unfortunately she has had a very bad skin allergy and has no fur on her body at all.

Finding a forever home She is living with a foster carer at the moment and with the correct medication we hope we will soon be able to find someone to love her and give her a permanent home.

We have had some wonderful news Sainsbury’s are coming to Bawtry and as well as creating jobs they are making a firm pledge of support to local organisations. We are extremely happy to say our Sanctuary will be one of the first to benefit from this support and we are looking forward to working closely with them. The store is to open on the 8th January and we will be there to wish them well.

We would like to thank everyone again for the support they have given us during our Christmas street collections. Please come to see us if you are thinking of adopting a dog or cat and we will be happy to point you in the right direction.

A big thank you to all Purple Vouchers office staff Jackie, Julie, Dave, Geoff, Fay and Milly for the support on Santa Dash Sunday.

Your support is very important to us. Thank you Our Sanctuary number is 01302 711330 please leave a message and we will call you back.

Good with cats: ?

Lived with children: Yes Esma and Elsa were found wandering in a lane far from any houses by a kindly gent who took them in and fed them.

Both girls were extremely hungry and had probably been abandoned. Despite exhaustive attempts their owners couldn’t be found and Mayflower were contacted for help. Both girls are very loving although Esme is the most confident of the pair. Elsa just needs a little more time to get to know you.

A home together is essential as these little beauties are inseparable.

Pastor’s Page Last year we remembered the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1, the first 50 years of the Rolling Stones, and the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, amongst other events.

This year we will remember the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2, Nick Leeson losing £1 billion in 1995 and the birth of Elvis Presley 80 years ago.

Oh yes, my wife and I will celebrate our silver wedding anniversary; I had better remember that. 25 years already, who would have thought? In that time we have brought up two brilliant teenagers, lived in 5 countries on 3 continents, buried our parents, had times of homelessness and unemployment as well as knowing great blessing – an awful lot of water has gone under the bridge during our quarter century Anniversaries always bring us up short; we can hardly believe that so much time has gone by – yes, 2015 really will see 40 years since Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party, 25 years since Nelson Mandela was released, 5 years since an Icelandic volcano caused air travel chaos, and 10 years since Youtube was 22

launched (though somehow it seems a lot longer).

We celebrate anniversaries with gusto; cards, presents, slap-up meals and champagne toasts; yet do we take a moment to be truly thankful for them? When Sharon & I celebrate our 25 years together in July, I will not only marvel at how she has put up with me all that time, but will I remember to thank God for bringing us together?

As the nation stops to remember VE Day on 8 May, may we commit to God those situations that threaten to take us to war and pray for the end of those conflicts we are currently engaged in.

We have just celebrated the most famous anniversary of all – the 2,014th (ish) anniversary of God becoming a baby at Christmas. Did you remember to stop and thank Him? Did you give to Him your plans, hopes and fears for 2015? Perhaps you could meditate on this Bible verse; “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3v5,6).

I pray that 2015 will be a year that you look back on with deep thankfulness and contentment.

Tickhill and Bawtry Probus Club “B****y January Again!” Those of you who remember the songs of Flanders and Swann (and most Probus members probably do) may recognise this as the last line of their song of the weather which took a particularly downbeat view of the British weather throughout the year. Downbeat they may have been but downbeat Probus is not. The club is flourishing, meetings are well attended, we have good speakers and the bar and restaurant are just downstairs from our meeting room at the Millstone. Sounds like a winning formula?

Come and try it for yourself as a visitor. We meet at 10.00am on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month but be warned, most people who come as visitors cannot resist the temptation of membership! Our programme for the next three months is as follows: 8th January 22nd January 12th February 26th February 12th March 26th March

AGM followed by “Codes, Cyphers and Enigmas” by Steve Payne “Day out with the National Trust” by John Hoare.

“How I wrote a book on Hitler youth” by Phil Baker “That’s my lot” by Peter Young.

“Railways in a Cornish Landscape” by Stephen Gay Ladies Lunch. (Members and wives/partners only)

Happy New Year from Retford Ramblers Group.

Why not start off the New Year by becoming a member of the Retford Group of the Ramblers Association. The 2015 Programme starts on 4th January with a local walk at Harwell and Everton, just the thing to kick start the new regime to get out in the fresh air and take some exercise.

Other walks for January are – Sherwood Pines, Torksey and Kettlethorpe and Creswell Crags.

The Group meet in the Chapelgate Car Park usually for a 9.30 am departure, car sharing is always encouraged with a voluntary contribution to be made to the driver.

If you would to know more please contact Mike on 01427 880984 Email – retford.ramblers@ gmail.com T

Something for everybody, come and join us and escape temporarily the b****y winter ( with apologies of course to Flanders and Swann). T

Make a Property

TRUST WILL

to ensure your children inherit Knowing your children will inherit your assets after you have gone is something that probably gives you great comfort.

But the uncomfortable truth is that unless you have the right type of will, nearly everything you think your children will inherit could easily go in care home fees for the surviving partner.

Many couples make a ‘Mirror Will’ which leaves everything to the surviving partner and then to their children, not realising that if the surviving partner needs residential care, he or she will have to use all their assets to pay for this until they have £14,250 left.

Property Trust Wills are the best way of ensuring that your children inherit everything that you

intended them to. Instead of leaving everything to each other, this type of will enables you and your partner to each leave your personal share of your home to your children in trust, with the condition that the children cannot have their share while the surviving partner is still alive.

The surviving partner is still able to sell their share of the home or move house but the share left in trust to the children cannot be included in any means test calculations, which means it cannot be used to pay care home fees.

Property Trust Wills are only suitable for couples in good mental health and cannot be used by single people or a surviving partner who now owns the property outright.

Jones and Co is probably Bawtry’s best known firm of solicitors, having offered personal and business legal advice to people in the area for more than 200 years. Our wills and probate team include Registered Trust and Estate Practitioners, members of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP) and members of Solicitors for the Elderly.

Garden View

Seeds of Change How many seeds have you eaten today? Probably more than you realise. As a nation, we consume tons of them every day and whether they are ground to make our bread, mushed to accompany our chips or sprinkled on our burger bun, seeds play an important role in our diet … as well as in our garden!

Most of the seed heads that were left over from autumn have now fallen over, disintegrated, or been eaten by hungry birds, so as part of my ‘outdoor housework’ I’m cutting them down to ground level before the new growth begins to emerge next month. The stately seed heads of Stipa gigantea looked fantastic for such a long period of time, as did the erect stems of Calamagrostis ‘Karl Forester’, but even these have been defeated by the wind.

It may be cold outside, but now is the perfect time for planning what to grow this year, from seed of course!

Over recent years the popularity of growing your own vegetables has meant that veg seed sales have overtaken those of traditional flowers, but you really can’t beat the satisfaction of plants from seed.

The first plants I ever grew were Snap Dragons. I was fifteen, and I found the packet in the back of a drawer (presumably they had been stuck 28

BAWTRY TODAY

to a box of cereal at some stage). I diligently followed the instructions for sowing and placed them on top of my wardrobe (I’m not quite sure why I did that). What happened next really was a miracle. They germinated! It was hard to believe that the old seed, uneven layer of compost, wardrobe location and over watered soil, produced a rash of new seedlings. It wasn’t long before they had grown to around 2 inches high and bent towards the light, narrowly avoiding the artex ceiling!

enough energy to push new leaves through the soil. Prick out singly once large enough to handle and grow on somewhere frost-free, before gradually hardening off ready for life outdoors.

Until next time, happy winter gardening.

I potted them on and they produced the most beautiful range of colours all summer long, and that was the moment I became hooked on gardening.

It wasn’t really a surprise that they germinated, as that’s what seeds are designed to do. They can survive in their dormant state for years, and because there are often more seeds per packet than you know what to do with, I always sow just a few more than I need and return the rest to a sealed container in the fridge.

Stored like this they keep for years.

To give them the best start in life, most seeds require just a tray of compost and some warmth. Large seeds should be covered over with compost, but small seeds left uncovered as they often don’t have

Until next time, happy gardening ,

BAWTRY CHURCH-

OPENING DOORS As readers of this magazine, and members of the local community you may already heard that something is happening at Bawtry Church! Of course, there’s always lots going on, but I am thinking particularly about the “Opening Doors” Project which was launched in December. The Project aims to make the church more accessible and useable.

We plan to open up the West Door which is the public face of the church onto Church Street. At present this is solid wood, but this will be altered to include glass and a view of the interior. Also this will then become the main entrance to the church, which will mean creating a flat space inside the door, and shallow steps into the building. (Disabled entry will be maintained and improved through the South door as at present).

A disabled toilet and small room will be added to the North side of the church housed in a sympathetic stone

built extension. We know that the absence of a toilet embarrasses occasional users of the church, and can makes attending church regularly difficult for the very young and the elderly. The small room will be multipurpose, a crèche on Sunday morning, a meeting room on weekday evenings, and a weekly place of prayer.

The extension will be built on the site of an existing boiler house, and accessed through an existing (blocked up) door.

Planning permission for this was granted in November following many years of negotiation with English Heritage, DMBC and the Church Building Council.. We are at present raising funds for the project (estimated cost £100,000), and hope to start building in late 2015.

Rev’d Jonathan Strickland, Vicar

Facial hair has been a big talking point at Jones & Co in the last few weeks, thanks to the moustache growing efforts of several members of staff.

Five male colleagues at the law firm in Retford, Bawtry and Ollerton have helped to raise over £500 for one of the region’s specialist cancer care hospices by taking part in Movember, a global campaign that encourages men to grow a moustache for 30 days to raise funds for men’s cancer charities.

With Movember now over and sponsorship money going to Bassetlaw Hospice, James Murray, Josh Hawkes, Philip Armstrong, Richard Bannister and Andrew Marsh believe the experience has been more than worthwhile.

Richard Bannister: “What started as a joke led to five of us spending November trying to look like Magnum PI. As the honorary solicitors for Bassetlaw Hospice, which among other things provides specialist care for patients diagnosed with cancer and other progressive long term conditions, we wanted any money raised to go there. We are very grateful to all the colleagues, clients, friends and family that chipped in to support a very worthy cause.”

Pictured left to right are head of dispute resolution James Murray; Josh Hawkes from the wills, trust and probate team; Philip Armstrong, head of wills, trust and probate; Richard Bannister from the family law team and office manager Andrew Marsh. T

Minister Dear Friends,

It’s New Year again and to some of us, it’s a time to reflect upon the past and look forward to the future. Sometimes, some of us find it difficult to know what we need to do to achieve the best in the coming year. I wonder if we can apply the advice the Apostle Paul gave to the Christians in Rome about 2000 years ago.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.

If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. Don’t just pretend to love others.

Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honouring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically (Romans 12: 6-9) (New Living Translation).

Paul’s advice is that just be yourself and do the good things that you love doing. Sometimes, it may be difficult to do them but Christians believe that prayer helps us to ask for assistance from God. He hears us and helps us achieve what we need to do with his Spirit.

You may wonder whether you have to pray for hours or days before God hears. Not at all! Christians believe that prayer is a conversation with God. So as part of being yourself, you can have a frequent conversation with God. It can be a few minutes or hours, depending on your availability.

God is always waiting for you to show up. You may wonder whether he will answer. My response is, God’s answer may be “yes, I’ll give it to you now or later”. It may also be “no, it’s not right for you now”. It can be “wait for a while” or a final answer is “have you thought of this better alternative”?

This year, as part of your resolution or determination to change things in life for the better, I wonder if I can suggest to you to consider frequent conversations with God. He is waiting for you to show up.

Have a blessed New Year.

In November we held our AGM. The committee members were all re-elected but the treasurer Lesley Gilfedder has stepped down and a new member Angela Gerraty has joined us.

In December we held our Christmas party including a bring and share with entertainment from Alan Cropley, Musical Quiz and sing song.

We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month in the New Hall Bawtry at 7.15pm for 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome, to visit (try before you buy) or rejoin in January 2015. T

TICKHILL AND DISTRICT LIONS CLUB May I start by wishing you all a Happy New Year and saying a big thank you to everyone who supported our Grand Christmas Draw which was held on 16th December. To the companies who donated prizes, the many people who provided items for the draw, the local businesses and individuals who helped us sell the tickets and of course to all of you who purchased the tickets – thank you.

If you were one of the many lucky winners then we have probably already been in touch but you should find a list of winners wherever tickets were on sale.

During December we escorted Santa on his new sleigh round most of the roads within the Tickhill and District area giving out hundreds of Christmas cards and receiving many cards and wish lists. Thank you to all who greeted us so warmly and made such kind donations.

At Tickhill and District Lions we pay all of our own expenses and administration costs so you can be sure that every penny you donate will be carefully spent helping deserving causes over the coming year.

So, thank you once again from Tickhill and District Lions and from all the people that your donations will help. T

Bawtry Town Council - JANUARY 2015 As we enter 2015 we wish everyone in our town a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

We thank the Bawtry Retail Association and in particular Becky the Chair, Excel Parking Services Ltd, and Roger Tuby for organising such a wonderful afternoon and evening on Friday 28th November to coincide with the switch on of Christmas lights in Bawtry.

To quote Becky “It was an excellent event that was about the entire family, children of all ages enjoyed the many different attractions from fairground rides to brass bands, Elsa from Frozen, market stalls and of course the shops that stayed open late, Santa, a polar bear, and the wonderful Womack’s display widow with pipers. This was the Bawtry retailers associations way of saying thank you to residents and customers alike as without them we would not be here and this is what helps keeps Bawtry such a pretty lovely and vibrant town. Big thanks to Excel Parking Services Ltd and Bawtry Town Council for their support for this event .”

The town council had a presentation some time ago from Tesla with information regarding a seismic survey in the area which would not involve Bawtry, but nothing further 44

BAWTRY TODAY

has been heard since that time.

The council’s main concern was increased traffic. This would be covered in the planning application once the site was defined.

The council has representation on a Group, comprising mainly of councillors in the Bassetlaw area, which monitors how the area could be affected by oil and gas exploration.

The company concerned is IGas who have managed the ‘Nodding Donkeys’ in the area for some time and they have given the Group information of various methods of production from potential wells in the area.

Part of this information included a visit to a Coal Bed Methane site at Doe Green near Warrington which occupies a site the size of a football field and should produce a gas supply for some 20 years. Gas from the site powers a gas engine and drives a one Megawatt generator to supply power to the site and also supplies the National Grid. The site was very clean and did not impinge on the local area.

The results of the Tesla 3 D survey should be available in the new year and IGas will consult with the group regarding future plans and we will report to the community accordingly.
