Welcome to the

December 2017 & January 2018 edition

Welcome! To the very first issue of DN2 Today.

This magazine is being delivered to 10,000 homes across the DN2 area of Doncaster in late November and will continue to be delivered through your letterbox alternate months in 2018.

Today Publications have been producing local community magazines since 2005 and there are 5 other targeted magazines established and serving Tickhill, Bawtry, Rossington, Bessacarr & Cantley and Harworth & Bircotes.

We have received many requests over the years to bring this type of magazine to this neighbourhood – so here it is!

This magazine is very much for the community and we invite all schools, groups, charities, churches, Scouts, Guides etc. to get in touch if they would like to promote themselves in their local community. Inclusion in our community pages comes free of charge and we hope to grow the number of these community pages issue by issue. So, if you are involved with a local team, group or society and you would like to publicise an event, tell people about your achievements, boost membership or simply increase awareness of what you do I would love to hear from you.

The magazine also supports local businesses and tradespeople. We offer highly cost effective, full colour advertising, with prices starting at less than £20 per month, and with the potential to reach 10,000 local homes over a 2-month booking. To find out more about how paula@todaypublications.co.uk t: 01302 969696 Your Community - Your Magazine! www.todaypublications.co.uk

your business can be featured in the next issue please do get in touch. Extend that advertising into my other magazines and you could be reaching 35,000 Doncaster homes.

Apologies if there is a slight bias towards businesses located just outside of your immediate neighbourhood this month – so many of my existing advertisers were keen to reach homes in this area, and it is really thanks to them that this new method of local communication is available to you. They are all still local businesses based within very few miles of your home and regularly serving this community. If you contact a business that is advertising with us, please let them know that you saw them in DN2 Today, so that they know their advertising is working for them.

This magazine is not part of a large faceless publishing empire – I am a local mum of 3, who works from my family home in Tickhill. I am committed to supporting all things local, and I very much look forward to getting to know more of you, and promoting the events, venues and facilities in the DN2 area – and taking that promotion slightly further afield into my other magazines where appropriate.

This is your community and your magazine – please do get in touch, with details of what you would like to see within future issues. The closing date for the next issue is Monday 8th January 2018.

As this will be the only magazine you will receive this side of Christmas, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones all the very best for the festive season. Have a lovely Christmas and I will be back in 2018!

Best wishes,

Paula x DN2 TODAY

By Rachel Leverton

The Christmas Wreath Until fairly recently in history, certainly up to Victorian times, people could never be certain they would safely survive the harsh winter. So, they developed rituals and displays to help them get through the darker days.

One such symbolic display of hope was the Christmas wreath. The circular shape is symbolic of eternity or everlasting life because it has no beginning or end. From a Christian perspective it represents the unending circle of life, with the traditional Holly as the thorns on Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crown and the red berries as his blood.

Now we hang them on our doors and use them as table centrepieces because they look wonderfully opulent and festive.

The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wreathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is linked to the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, both words describing the form of a continuous circular shape. This became fused with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wretheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from middle English which means a twisted band or ring of leaves.

At this bleak time of year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional to use evergreens and other brightly coloured Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV IROLDJH RU IUXLWV WR DGRUQ D ZUHDWK In past times the addition of expensive and rare fruits such as pomegranates, indicated wealth, but wreaths also included the display of pinecones, seashells and even imported products. Once the decorations were taken 14 DN2 TODAY

down, the edible parts would be eaten and the bounty of summer could be enjoyed in the depth of winter.

Making a wreath is fun and relatively easy.

You can make a simple and cheap evergreen circle or push the boat out and create an elaborate bauble ring. You can buy a ring of Ă&#x20AC;RZHU DUUDQJHUVÂś IRDP 6RDN LW LQ WHSLG ZDWHU and then stick sprigs of evergreen foliage from WKH JDUGHQ Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV EHUULHV GULHG IUXLWV QXWV and bows into it using wire if necessary.

Or you can make your own base by taking a ring of string wire and covering it in moss or hay. This will need to be held in place using thinner gauge wire. You can then wire in foliage and decorations. I will just warn you about holly though; working with it can be a painful experience so wear gloves and maybe have a box of plasters handy!

If you want to try something different you can use a circle of pine cones, dried leaves, threaded popcorn and cranberries or woven red and yellow dogwood cut from your garden DQG LQWHUZHDYHG ZLWK EDWWHU\ RSHUDWHG OLJKWV Use your gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination.

Happy Christmas gardening.

Senior Snippets Top tips to help make a will It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy subject to discuss, but it is a very important one. People either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to think about making a will or are worried about the cost, but planning ahead and making a will ensures that when you die your estate is shared according to your wishes. A will is the only way to make sure your savings and possessions go to the people and causes that you care about.

Choose your executors well. These are the people ZKRÂśOO ORRN DIWHU WKH Âż QDQFLDO SURFHVV ZKHQ \RX GLH 7KH\ÂśUH DOVR WKH SHRSOH ZKR ZLOO VRUW RXW Âż QDQFHV Âą such as paying off the mortgage and/or other debts out of your estate.

Decide who you want to get what, and when.

Planning who will inherit what & when makes it clear what your wishes are, and makes it easier for those left behind to deal with the effects of your death.

DELIVERED FREE TO 10,000 HOMES EVERY 2 MONTHS

Use a professional. Although you can make a DIY will, it is recommended to seek professional legal DGYLFH IURP D TXDOLÂż HG DQG UHJXODWHG VROLFLWRU $V ZHOO DV HQVXULQJ \RXU Âż QDO ZLVKHV DUH PHW VROLFLWRUV FDQ advise you on how to make the most of the available inheritance tax allowance.

Ensure your will is signed and witnessed. Your will must be signed by you as well as witnessed by two independent witnesses.

Take care of your will. Decide how to look after your will and let your executor know where it is. It is best practice not to store it in a bank safety deposit box as the bank canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open the box until the executor gets permission to administer your affairs. You can also leave it with your solicitor but make sure you keep a copy.

I hope you have found these tips helpful. It is important to remember that if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write a will, everything you own will be shared out in a standard ZD\ GHÂż QHG E\ WKH ODZ Âą ZKLFK LVQÂśW DOZD\V WKH ZD\ you might want.
