“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.�

Charles Dickens Christmas is nearly upon us again! I can’t believe that I am writing my December welcome already. At the time of writing there are still over 5 weeks until Christmas but, as I have barely started my preparations that doesn’t seem very long at all!

Christmas week marks 10 years since I returned to Tickhill, having spent the previous 15 years living in a variety of different locations. It doesn’t seem possible that 10 years have passed so quickly, or that early in the New Year we will be marking the 10th anniversary of Today Publications.

Over the last few months we have been running giveaways for tickets to see Peter Pan at Doncaster Racecourse. Sadly during November the decision was made to cancel the Pantomime which left us wondering what to offer our prize winners instead.

The excellent news is that Doncaster Racecourse have agreed to offer family tickets to their Family Fun Day on 29th March instead.

Thank you very much to Doncaster Racecourse, I am sure that our winners will enjoy this alternative day out.

The January issues will be delivered to you late December; most people will receive them somewhere between Christmas and New Year. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Tuesday 9th December.

We do work to a slightly different time scale with this issue as they have to be printed and delivered back to me, sorted and delivered to my team of distributors before Christmas, so as always, your assistance in getting everything to me on time would be much appreciated.

Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas.

Enjoy the Christmas festivities and I will be back in a months’ time with your first magazine of 2015!

Best wishes, Paula x

Be Sure of a Warm Welcome!

Harworth& Bircotes Tenants & Residents Association At the monthly TRA meeting on 4 November, a talk was given to the Group by Natalie Cockrell of Bassetlaw District Council, on the Neighbourhood Plan. Natalie shared maps and details of how it is envisaged Harworth and Bircotes will change over the next 15 years or so. Some changes could start to be seen very soon, and some would take longer. Natalie was able to answer questions raised by members. Dave Challinor (District Councillor) also gave information about changes in the town, such as demolition of the towers, which could now take place in March.

It was noted that the 127 bus service was only put on to serve outlying areas, and there is no truth in the rumour that Stagecoach will not let it come up the shop fronts. We have a better bus service here than in most other rural areas in Bassetlaw. It is hoped that we will be able to access a community bus service to serve those areas of Harworth Bircotes which are at the moment not well served by buses.

Members were reminded about the Christmas Lights Event at the Town Hall, where we will once again host the Santa’s Grotto, along with our usual tombola stall etc.

answers.

Judy Turner (Chair) has been awarded A1 Housing’s Tenant Champion. Well done Judy.

The mystery of the horse mess left in the passageway between Festival Avenue and Bawtry Road has been solved. The young lady responsible has apologised and says it will not happen again, as her mother has now discovered that it is an offence to ride in passageways and on pavements, and this has been passed on to other horse riders. Many thanks go to the family for their prompt attention.

All tenants and residents of Harworth and Bircotes are welcome to join us at our meetings, and we will always welcome new members, especially younger people, or anyone from an ethnic minority.

Refreshments are available and a raffle will usually take place.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday 2 December, at the Devonshire Road Community Centre, at 10.30 am.

Someone from BDC Environmental Health will attend the December meeting to address the issue of dog fouling and fly tipping, and members are asked to prepare their questions in advance, so that she can provide

community Hello everyone. Where has this year disappeared to? We like to hope our joys have outweighed our heartache and we have all made a difference to the animals that have been and are still in our care.

We have recently rescued a lovely Labrador X and after being with us a few days she produced 5 beautiful puppies.

She is now safe and well in her warm bedroom with her babies tucked up with her.

Another one of many sad stories is a 12 year old standard poodle with such a lovely nature. Her owners thought her a bit of a nuisance as she was old and handed her to us without a backward glance. We are hoping that some kind person comes along and maybe fosters her. But until then she is being taken care of by our wonderful staff and volunteers.

There are lots of stories to be told but we must concentrate on the positives, that when dogs and cats come to us no matter what the circumstances they are warm and safe with us.

We are one of the few rescue centres that still carry out home visits to make sure all of our dogs will be taken care of in loving homes where all the family want a dog, that fences are high enough also that the garden is secure so no one can escape. It also enables us to check out that you have chosen the correct dog that will fit into your lifestyle.

We have 2 beautiful young marmalade cats that are still waiting for there forever homes.

These are the ones that survived being left in a sack at the side of the river. It would be so lovely to think they have knees to curl up on for Christmas.

A little now about our recent Halloween party days. Everyone had a great time so thank you everyone that came along and had fun. We raised lots of money so thank you again.

This was mentioned in the last months edition but I will just remind you again, in case you are amongst the first to receive a December magazine and see this in time. The accomplished artist Diane Hill is having an art exhibition at the Methodist church lounge in Tickhill on the 29th November, 10-3 there will be lots happening. Food, raffle, sherry and I will be there with my dog Blossom So I hope to see you there.

On 6th of Dec and 21st December we will be outside M & S in Doncaster with our funny Christmas hats rattling tins hoping that the people of Doncaster come up trumps as usual and make these days so worthwhile. So we will look forward to seeing you then.

Come and say hello we love to listen to your lovely animal stories.

We are also outside Pets at home on 21st December so I do hope the weather will be kind to us all.

On 7th December don’t forget Santa Dash which will be great

Mayflower Animal Sanctuary, Narrow Lane, Bawtry.

Finding a forever home fun at Sandall Park in Doncaster . If you would like to take part and help to raise money for our Sanctuary please give Barbara a call on 07975540533. Don’t worry they will not ask you to race a marathon it’s only a mile and you can walk, run, jog just do your own thing. But what a terrific sight hundreds of Santas all in one place. Bring along your dogs dress them up and they may win a prize. You will keep them warm too.

Please come to see us if you are looking for that special pet to share your life.

Telephone 01302 711330 or 07969 203206 we will be happy to help.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and generosity throughout the year.

Also big thank you to all staff and volunteers, not forgetting the ladies who take care of our shop in Manton

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas and peaceful new year from DOO DW 0D\Ç RZHU Sanctuary.

Larwood & Village Surgeries Christmas Opening Times

Methodist Minister Dear Friends, Christmas is a time of presents. Presents are given to friends, relations and sometimes to long lost friends and acquaintances. Most children get their wishes met at Christmas because some people believe that Christmas is all about the children. However, whether presents or children, we are reminded that Christmas is about someone’s birthday.

Christians believe that the greatest present God gave to humankind is his son, Jesus. He was born on Christmas day to Mary and Joseph, a humble couple. Jesus lived with his parents in obedience and learned his father’s trade – carpentry. The bible says that he grew in stature and wisdom. Jesus grew up to become very powerful but he did not use his power to exploit people as some do. He used his power to heal, free those in prison of sin, and to tell the good news of God’s salvation to people.

That was not the end of his story. Jesus died for the sins of the world. Furthermore, Christians believe that this Jesus rose from the dead three days after he died and he is in heaven praying for each one of us.

I wonder if you would agree with me that it is important to celebrate the birthday of such a person. Hence, churches throughout the Doncaster borough and its environs have planned activities and invite them to join in celebrating the joy that come with the Christmas season. The churches’ activities include worship services, carol singing, party times, prayer times, and times of reflections.

I wonder if you can consider this important invitation and participate in at least a few of these activities so as to enjoy the fun and blessings that come with the birth of Jesus. Hoping to see you. May God grant you peace.

Harworth Colliery Football Club December Update Hello and welcome to the Monthly update from the club and may I wish you all from everyone associated at the club a very Merry Christmas.

As ever its been an extremely busy month and lots to report on so will begin with the first team and at the time of writing are in a run of 6 games unbeaten, all the hard work put in by the Management team and the players is finally paying off and we are climbing up the table.

Players are returning to the club who went to play in higher leagues at the beginning of the season and there are also a good nucleus of young players that we hope remain with the club and help us to get to where we want to be. This is a long road though and we are putting things in place bit by bit. We are looking forward now and feel like our season has just started.

The Reserves have had an up and down month and are on the lookout for a new manager, so I would like to thank Terry for all the hard work he has put in. The advertisement is on the Website and has been in the local papers, so we hope someone takes up the challenge as we have a good set of lads and with players returning to the first team set up there will be a strong selection of players to choose from, they are mid-table in the league and we welocome all applicants, experienced or not.

The Colts have had a good month and are steadily progressing up the league, it is always going to be difficult running three teams and the Colts are the ones that will feel the pinch more than most but Billy has got a settled squad of young and experienced players which will put them in good stead for the Winter months period.

The Juniors are going from strength to strength and I would like to welcome our new sponsor Matt Roberts Building Services who will sponsor the Junior teams for the foreseeable future. We have a real strong base of local sponsors and that is the foundation for any club so thanks again. The Under 13’s won their first 7 games of 16

HARWORTH & BIRCOTES TODAY

the season and unfortunatly this run has just come to an end, but what a run it has been, goals galore and smiles all round. They need to put that behind them now and go again, they still sit top so well done to all.

Grahams under 14’s are second in the table and have progressed in the cup, they have an excellent squad now that a few new additions have been made so keep it going.

It’s been a great Month for fundraising at the club as the Juniors raised £454.32 bag packing at ASDA, big thanks THE Harworth Store and to Ann Delaney for organising and all those that turned up. Also the Halloween DISCO was a huge success with everyone making a massive effort and over 200 tickets sold, £589.80 was raised and a great night had by all. Note of thanks to the Pavilion for donating the bottles for us to sell and paying for all the decorations.

The Club will be having their Christmas Raffle on the 18th of Dec and if any local businesses have anything that they would be willing to donate then please get in touch.

A real positive this month was being able to reward two of our longest and loyalist supporters Lance and Arthur with a Club Winter Coat that will keep them warm now the temperatures are plummeting. This is the least the club can do for all their commitment to us so from all at the club we salute you and everyone that makes it through the gate.

So again Merry Christmas to all and keep a look out for all the upto date news on the clubs Website on Pitch Hero, enter Harworth Colliery FC, plenty going on our Twitter account @HCIFC & on our Facebook page, keep turning up through the gates as it is hugely appreciated by everyone associated with the club. . . .

community The Patient Participation Group of the Tickhill and Colliery Surgery (Aiming to help you to be in control of your health and healthcare.)

The PPG held their AGM in October and for the first time were in the happy position of having more nominees for election to the committee than places available. Following a tie for the last committee place a coin toss took place and Mr J Bergin was elected. We welcome him along with the other patients who joined the wider group and will be contacted by email with news and questionnaires or called upon to help (where they have volunteered) with events as they are organised.

Another place that questionnaires re Medical experiences and preferences are posted is Doncaster Care Commissioning Group (CCG) Everyone in Doncaster is encouraged to give their views. You can do this by going to their website at www.doncasterccg.nhs.uk where on the first page is a box linking you to the latest surveys which you can complete. The latest one is on your views re Doncaster spending money to support care at home or residential care.

The National Association of Patients Groups tells us “The number of patients needing to see their GP is increasing, yet funding for general practice is falling year on year.

Our PPG committee would like to involve more of the 9200 patients registered with the practice. We are keen to hear from everyone especially those who are at work, have a specific ongoing illness or are under 20years of age such that we can gain a more representative view of patients’ priorities. With this in mind we are developing a wider online group. The members of this will be able to complete online questionnaires and receive minutes of meetings, information and news as it becomes available.

If you are happy for us to contact you periodically by email please send us an email to tickhillandcollieryppg@yahoo.com .

Alternatively pick up a contact us form from reception complete it and hand it to a Patients’ Group representative or put it in the comments box.

This means millions of patients are waiting a week or more to see their GP and the amount spent per patient is in decline. Many GPs now fear that patient care will be put at risk and 71% are predicting that waiting times will get even worse.

The information you supply us will be used lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to know what information is held about you, and sets out rules to make sure that this information is handled properly.

The result was a 300 000 signature petition delivered to Number 10 by Dr Patricia Wilkie NAPP PRESIDENT and Dr M Maureen Baker, RCGP Chair of Council

Finally but very importantly, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and send our best wishes for a Happy and healthy New Year.

The campaign team are confident that this will lead to an adjournment debate in parliament in the near future. We will keep you updated.

Christmas Letter from All Saints Church, Harworth

Jainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Craft & Gift Fairs

This Christmas is a particularly exciting one for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time when I have got to know more people, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve settled into the community and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking forward to celebrating together as a family.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also exciting because I know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming next. I wonder how many of you know that sense of knowing what the gift is before your children open it? It is such a lovely feeling anticipating their joy.

Well, this year I feel this sense of anticipation not only for my own children but also about my faith and also about this community and All Saintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church.

Come along to find unusual gifts from local talented crafters!

I know about the gift that is the baby Jesus, the God made baby before I get to the 25th of December, as do most of the people in our community, but I pray that this gift we remember receiving every year somehow means more this year too. The Christmas story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a story, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the biggest surprise ever. Who would have guessed that a baby born in a barn would go on to be one of the most significant people in history and ultimately would be the biggest hero of all time, showing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people that more was possible than they could have ever imagined at Easter? I feel that for some people in my church and in this community, this Christmas will bring a renewed sense of the gift that God has given us in Jesus.

New Guide Unit

Saturday 13th December Harworth Town Hall 9.30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1pm T

I am pleased to inform the town that a Guide unit will be starting at All Saints church Hall from 14th January. They will meet every Wednesday at 7pm until 8.30pm.

Brownies will have a new start time of 5.30pm. If any girls aged 10 to 16 are interested they can register on the Girl Guiding UK website by going to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Join Usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

In 2015 the church, in association with Harworth and Bircotes Town Council will begin a process of looking for our heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. During â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The year of the Heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; we will be looking for the people who are significant to us, whose stories inspire and encourage us. It is my hope that by sharing the stories of people here in our place and time, we will find more than we could have possibly imagined.

There will be several categories for nominations and an awards ceremony! I have a feeling that the gift we will open throughout this special year will be truly wonderful. Watch out for more details coming soon.

So this Christmas as we prepare to remember the birth of the greatest hero, in the most unusual of places, in the most unexpected of people, let us begin looking for those places and people, those gifts from God who might be Harworth and Bircotes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of 2015â&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Garden View

Christmas past made present Long before the introduction of central heating and other luxuries of the 21st century, people required greater faith that they would safely survive the harsh upcoming winter.

One such symbolic display of this hope was the beautiful Christmas wreath. Now creeping back in fashion and available in a number of guises, they can be found hanging on doorways, both inside and out, as a centrepiece on a table, and even hung on walls as decorations.

Although we may have lost the traditional reasoning behind displaying such garlands, I’m on a mission to bring them back … in whatever style suits your home.

The word ‘wreath’ is linked to the word ‘wrist’, both words describing the form of a continuous circular shape. Fuse this with ‘wrethe’ from middle English (meaning a twisted band or ring of leaves) and you have the wreath as we know it today.

The circular shape is symbolic of eternity, or everlasting life because it has no beginning or end. In ancient Rome the symbol became a popular display of victory.

From a Christian perspective it represents the unending circle of life, with the traditional Holly as the thorns on Jesus’ crown and the red berries as his blood.

24

At this bleak time of year, it’s wonderful to use evergreens and other brightly coloured flowers, foliage, or fruits to adorn your wreath.

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 had been taken down, the edible decorations would be eaten and the bounty of summer enjoyed in the depth of winter.

a little different this year such as a circle of pine cones, dried leaves, dried sweetcorn cobs, pussy willow or even a ring of astroturf!

Merry Christmas.

Making your own wreath is fun and easy, and can vary from a simple and cheap evergreen circle to an elaborate bauble ring. For those who like a quick and easy option, simply buy a circle of oasis and soak it in tepid water, before sticking in sprigs of evergreen foliage from the garden, flowers, berries, dried fruits, nuts, and bows.

If you have more time why not make your own base by taking a ring of string wire and covering it in moss or hay, holding it in place using thinner gauge wire, then wiring in the foliage and decorations. Be aware though that holly wreaths are tricky and gloves should be worn!

The Americans seem to be leading the way in the contemporary wreath, so why not try something

Vehicle Crime Welcome home’ CRASBO awaits Harworth and Bircotes Prolific offender

9pm and 7am.

The order will also prevent Lyons contacting a number of individuals, as well as restricting him from being in part of Norfolk Road, Bircotes, and on any land forming part of an address in Bawtry at any time Inspector Neil Bellamy said: “Mr Lyons is well-known to local people, having plagued residents of Harworth and East Bassetlaw with his criminal and antisocial behaviour over a period of almost two decades.

“This kind of behaviour is absolutely unacceptable and I hope this order offers some reassurance that we will pursue anyone committing this kind of behaviour in our community and will put all necessary measures in place to curtail their activities.”

Lyons had previously been subject to an interim order following a theft from a motor vehicle in Harworth in April 2014.

During sentencing, he admitted 40 other thefts from motor vehicle offences.

A prolific thief currently in prison will have a night-time curfew on his release in Harworth and Bircotes.

Darren Lyons, 36, of no fixed abode, who is currently in prison was issued a Criminal Antisocial Behaviour Order (CRASBO) at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on Friday, October 17. He will be subject to a night-time curfew on his release in January 2015 It means he will be subject to an overnight curfew prohibiting him from entering large areas of Harworth, Bircotes, Scrooby and Ranskill between 26

The interim CRASBO was upgraded to a full order at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on Friday, October 17th 2014.

The order was sought as part of Operation Kinetic, which Nottinghamshire Police is running to target problematic offenders in Bassetlaw.

More details of the CRASBO will be published on or around the time Darren LYONS is released.

If you would like to report anyone committing crime or antisocial behaviour in your area, you can call Notts Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

We continue to attend incidents where it seems vehicles are still being left insecure we would strongly urge people to ensure that they lock their vehicles.

Also please do not leave anything inside the vehicle even if it is not on show whether it be Sat Navs, small change etc as this may entice thieves to try to break in. Another important point we need to make is that Insurance companies tend not to pay out if you leave your vehicle insecure and it gets broken into or stolen, so please double check if necessary as evidence has shown an offender trying door handles to vehicles to check whether they are locked.

Prosecutions of note over the past 2/3 months A male from the Bircotes area has been found guilty at court for possession of a knife in a public place where he received a custodial sentence of 26 weeks and ordered to pay £80 victim surcharge, and destruction order for the knife.

There are currently 2 males from the Harworth and Bircotes area that are currently on police bail in relation to Burglary in the area where enquiries are continuing. Both males are due to answer Bail in November 2014.

A Juvenile from the Harworth area appeared at youth court in relation to Criminal Damage where he pleaded guilty and received a 6 month referral order.

Harworth & Bircotes Town Council - DECEMBER 2014 PROMOTING HARWORTH AND BIRCOTES When I first became a Town Councillor very few people at Nottinghamshire County Council had heard of our community, but this has now changed. Six years ago Council resolved to adopt a positive a promotion exercise by persistently inviting County Councillors, organisations and businesses to visit. District Councillors Frank Hart (now retired), Dave Challinor and myself have been continually pressing buttons at Bassetlaw District Council. This is now paying off – people are very interested in Harworth and Bircotes, companies are investing here, and the changes are becoming evident for all to see. I think visitors are surprised when taken on the obligatory tour of what has been achieved, but they certainly leave with a different view of Harworth and Bircotes.

Yes, I know we don’t have a bank, just like many other towns; I get tired of being told this.

Banks are very cautious about protecting their profit margins and maintaining their position on the stock exchange, and one way of doing this during the recession has been to save costs by withdrawing services from smaller communities – not exactly a caring customer focus, and they have not, as an industry, been so cautious about their own self-regulation. The reality is that we will all have to suffer this inconvenience for a few years to come, though Council will keep trying to secure you a banking service.

OCTOBER VISIT BY D2N2 D2N2 is a regional Local Enterprise Board (L.E.P.) for both

Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

L.E.P.s matter because they hold funds for major infrastructure work e.g. D2N2, along with the S. Yorkshire L.E.P. known as Sheffield City Region, have recently contributed monies towards future re-modelling for better access onto the Blyth Road to Harworth from the A1 roundabout.

We invited D2N2 to Harworth and Bircotes because we wanted them to see the plans for our community, as outlined in our Neighbourhood Plan, and also we want them to at least consider us for further investment in the future.

The Bassetlaw Regeneration Team gave them an excellent presentation and answered a lot of in-depth questions; then came a light lunch followed by a tour of the community, in which we pointed out key areas of intended development but also future need. Thanks go to Dave Lewis who conducted us around the colliery site, and to the everpatient Paddy driving the bus and listening to my ‘left, right, stop here’ instructions.

paid for the meal and bus. I did, not Council or council tax payers.

You all know Town Councillors receive no payment, but as a District Councillor I am given a monthly allowance, and I think it appropriate to use this whenever I can as a contribution which hopefully will bring future benefits to my community.

CONSULTATION EXERCISE Council is grateful to Café 81 for allowing us to conduct a week long consultation on the draft Neighbourhood Plan in their premises. We got lots of positive comments, picked up a few concerns, and answered loads of questions…. and the food was very good, too!

PEREGRINE FALCONS A concern raised during the consultation exercise was what will happen to the peregrine falcons when the two towers on the colliery site are demolished.

These birds of prey (I am told) return to use the taller tower to build a nest every May. y I sent an email to Harworth Estates asking for further information, who assure me the towers will be inspected before demolition …. no doubt they have experienced the issue of ‘wildlife’ before.

A Polite Comment: one or two people may be wondering who

Harworth & Bircotes Town Council - CONTINUED Friday 14th November was the last day at the Colliery for some, so a sad day for those men who have worked there for many years. The site then officially became the property of Harworth Estates.

MOTORBIKES As usual, there are always the few who give the rest a bad name.

Who are the selfish, irresponsible teenagers riding on the Tommy Simpson Field, performing tricks on their motorbikes and making a heck of a lot of noise at night?

People have reported to me that they have been kept awake until 3 am. This is not acceptable, and the field is not for use by any type of vehicle. I am sure these young ‘night riders’ are well aware that what they are doing is illegal, but their fun comes before anything else.

I have reported this matter to the police. If you are a parent whose teenager has a motorbike, could you please check it is not your child causing nuisance to others. An ASBO is not the best introduction to a future career, or adult life.

A MULTI-USE GAMES AREA I received a few telephone calls in November about men working on the Tommy Simpson Field. I was able to confirm that Bassetlaw District Council was installing a M.U.G.A. to replace the old basketball court, and that other games can also be played on it.

It will have steel fencing around it, it will be floodlit and yes, the lights will be hooded to prevent nuisance to nearby homes, and they will operate on a timer mechanism.

This improvement to the Tommy

Simpson Field – which is owned

by Bassetlaw District Council, is in their Capital Programme for this year, and the project was planned to be completed in the summer (you may remember I mentioned it in this magazine months ago).

However, there has been slippage for some projects – usually due to bad weather, including this one, and I was then told it would be delivered by December – hence my surprise that the work has been brought forward by one month.

NEW HOMES ON WHITEHOUSE ROAD November 10th saw me in the Welfare Hall looking at plans for 44 semi-detached affordable houses to be built on the site of the Miners Institute. These are being built by a housing agency so are not for sale but for rent, and the company will work in partnership with A1 Housing in terms of potential tenants and addressing the waiting list for houses.

The houses range from 1 bedroom to 3 bedrooms, and the company has also released some land to enable wider access for traffic to/from Serlby Park Academy.

It’s early days, plans have yet to be submitted for approval, but anyone interested in one of these houses should initially approach A1 for advice.

I am also aware that Serlby Park Academy has applied for Outline Planning Permission re: building a new school; no detailed plans are available yet.

HARWORTH CEMETERY Council has started a programme of improving old neglected graves. This entails getting rid

of weeds, topping up with soil which is then covered with membrane, then a final dressing of coloured chippings or slate.

Quite an improvement.

community Armistice Day Dedication & Service 11/11/2014 This Day predominantly Remembers the Day the Guns Fell Silent on the Western Front at the 11th hour on the 11th Day of the 11th Month in 1918 when a Cease Fire was signed by The respective Nations involved in this terrible conflict.

An Act of Dedication & Remembrance was held at the War Memorial, as with the Sunday Service, the Roll of Honour, was read out, Wreaths were laid, a two minutes silence observed, as this is a working day this year, there were fewer people attending, but it is always very well supported by our local Schools, again we wish to thank everyone who attended, again as the Sunday Service refreshments were served in the Church Hall after the Service, by Ladies from All Saints Church Thank you Ladies.

Once again thank you ALL for the wonderful respect shown.

Festival of Remembrance - The Royal Albert Hall I am sure many of you watched this Wonderful Spectacular event on your TV on Sat Evening, and it has come to my attention that a Soldier from Harworth took part in this Ceremony. Jordan Wilson who is a musician in the Scots Guards as well as his band duties he was selected to carry one of the Drums that were placed in the middle of the Hall as part of this Ritual, well done Jordan, what a very proud moment for you and your family.

Best Wishes from all of us

Brian Letherland.
