Welcome to the

November 2017 edition

“Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” Sean Patrick Flanery

The year is racing by, Halloween and Bonfire Night are upon us and Christmas is only just around the corner. Once again, we have lots of activities and events being promoted on these pages – we are lucky to live in such active communities. By the time you receive this issue the chances are the clocks will have gone back and the evenings will be drawing in. If you receive an early delivery—don’t forget to change your clocks early on Sunday 29th October. Are you getting organised yet? Last month I urged you to consider anything you wanted to get done or achieve before Christmas and to get yourself booked in with the many businesses offering their services within these pages. For many things there will still be time, but don’t wait too long! The December issues will be delivered to you late November. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 10th November. This will be of course the Christmas issue, and it is always a jam-packed issue, full of annual events, Christmas fairs and celebrations. Please do ensure that you get your items to me in good time if you have something you would like included. Enjoy November and I will be back in a months’ time with your December magazine.

Best wishes,

Harworth Colliery Football Club November 2017! Hello and welcome to this months update from around the clubs at Harworth Colliery. The Season is into full flow for all our teams now and at the time of the writing the 1st team sit proudly at the top of the Central Midlands North Division. The aim is promotion and the management and the players feel we have a great chance, it’s going to be a vital time through November and December so the squad will be stretched to capacity, but with some very good Under 21’s to call upon when needed this season, we are better equipped than ever, with the ground already passing its ground grading its all down to the business on the Pitch.

have carried on from last season and hit the ground running. The ladies and all at the Club would like to thank Mech FS for their Matchday sponsorship, we hope you can get down to the games when possible and we fully appreciate the support, another local business backing our teams, simply brilliant.

The Football club are delighted that Luke Gray a Village Lad as come on board as Physio, we have been after one for such a long time and it’s great that a lad who knows the Club is able to fill that position, we wish him well and welcome on board. The Reserves are also doing well in 3rd position at present, again we have a large pool of players to choose from it’s about getting the balance of experience right and giving the younger players the game time they need to develop. A lot are with the Under’s who are as expected finding it tough going, the bright spark from last month was the 2-2 draw with Sheffield United. Every game is tough and we know we are not going to be challenging for honours but what the players are gaining in match experience is vital to the progression of them all, and we are very happy at present with how they are performing and with quite a young group as well.

Another huge thank you goes to Signify for their sponsorship of the Under 10 Girls who have now played 5 games and are doing brilliantly, the enthusiasm they have for the game is great to see. In the picture is Elaine Hellewell wife of Craig Hellewell who runs Signify with his brother Lee. They have supported the club for a number of years through the printing of kits or putting the Colliery badge on Mugs/Wooly Hats anything and everything going, they also do all our Advertising boards so its great that we get to see their logo on the Girls shirts that they proudly wear, get in touch with them for any printing needs you may have. The Juniors are all now enjoying their seasons and want to say a big thank you to all the coaches and parents that are there week in week out. The kids are loving it and its great to see so many now up at the rec enjoying their Football. Note for local lad Craig Eggleton too, for starting up a new Under 7’s, that’s another new team at the club so well done to Adam and everyone driving the Juniors forward.

The Ladies have had a stop start last month with games being postponed on them but the highlight was certainly beating Sheffield Wednesday Development 8-1 away from Home. That’s an 100% start again to the league so Nick and all the ladies 12

community Community Autumn is definitely with us and most days has a chill in the air. Bonfire night is just around the corner which is a scary time for all pet owners. Some dogs and cats are very freaked out by the noise, therefore please be aware of your pet’s requirements. Make sure they are in the house with a radio on and curtains closed, this is the best way I think to keep your pet calm. My cats tend to hibernate under the bed at this time of the year which isn’t a bad thing. I always feel so sorry for horses and farm animals in local fields too. Vets bills for the Sanctuary are getting increasingly high at the moment, lots of recently rescued dogs and cats have many ongoing medical conditions which our vets are treating to full recovery. We are then able to put them for adoption and hopefully a happy life with a forever home. Our vets bill totalled over £50,000 last year, so we need to capitalize on all the fund raising that is in our calendar for the rest of the year. Anyone wanting tickets for the Race Night on 25th November please call Liz 07769 154456 or Mags 07969 203206 or 01302 711330 and leave a message. Tickets are £6 including Pie and Peas. This will be a brilliant night

Finding a forever home so please come along and support us. The events we have planned up to the end of the year are. 10/11 Collections outside Wheatley Hall Road, M&S 25/11 Saturday Race Night Scout Head Quarters Tickhill. Plus, we have a Doncaster Street collection Dec 2nd and the 23rd Dec, we will be outside Marks and Spencer with some of our dogs who will be looking forward to a day out and the odd cuddle. Many thanks to everyone that has left blankets, towels and food in my garage for transfer to the Sanctuary. These are very much needed donations so thanks you. Our Sanctuary is open 1-4 at a weekend, 2-4 weekdays and closed on a Tuesday. If anyone would like any information on any of our current residents please call 01302 711330, leave a message and someone will return your call. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Salt & Peppa Female 6 months ? Yes ? Yes Poss

Salt and Peppa came into care with their mum, Tia, because their owner was having to move house and was unable to take them with her. They are adorable little girls but can be quite shy with strangers. All they need is a little time and patience for their true personality to come shining through. The wait will be well worth it. Salt and Peppa are very close so a home together is preferred. It would be a dream come true if they could all go together. Could you offer these girls the home they deserve?

National Tree Week November 25th marks the start of National Tree Week, which in turn marks the start of tree-planting season. Considering that most of us in the UK have fairly small plots we do love our trees. The trouble is we’re not always terribly good at choosing them. How many times have you driven through a housing estate and observed an enormous weeping willow or an enormous pine tree completely obscuring a front garden. It can be tricky deciding what sort of tree to plant on a small, suburban plot but there are plenty of candidates. Generally trees up to 8-10m are considered suitable. The best urban trees offer year-round interest. Varieties of Acer Palmatum are rather lovely. They are elegant trees which have attractive green or purple foliage and colour beautifully in the winter.

Why not plant a tree during this week? Our guide has some helpful tips.

How to Plant a Tree Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball. Make up a mixture of half compost and half soil from the hole. Put a few inches of this mix at the bottom of the hole. Trees need support so drive a support stake into the hole at one edge. This needs to be done before the tree is planted or you risk damaging the roots. Tip the tree from its container and loosen the URRWV D OLWWOH 3ODFH LW LQWR WKH KROH DQG ÂżOO LQ with the soil and compost mixture. Firm it down with your heel. Use proper straps to secure the tree to the post. Water well!

For my money Amalanchier Lamarckii (or June Berry Tree) is about as hardworking a tree as you’ll come across. During March and April it SURGXFHV D IURWK\ VKRZ RI ZKLWH ÀRZHUV WKHQ in June these are replaced by attractive deep purple, and supposedly edible - though I’ve never tried them - fruits. Then, when Autumn arrives the tree pulls out all the stops and EXUVWV LQWR ¿HU\ FRORXU ,I \RX RQO\ KDYH URRP for one tree then an Amelanchier won’t let you down. Another hard worker is Sorbus hupehensis var. obtusa. This tree has a pretty shape and is attractive throughout the year. In the late spring it is covered in white blossom which is followed by masses of dark pink berries. The blue-green leaves turn red in the autumn. It’s just my opinion of course but without at OHDVW RQH WUHH D JDUGHQ FDQ VHHP ÀDW DQG D little dull. Trees provide structure and height but are also a haven for birds and insects, which in turn add colour and life. 22 HARWORTH TODAY

Safety

Sparkler Safety

Fireworks in the garden can be great fun, as long as they are used safely. Each year, over half of all firework injuries are suffered by children. Did you know that sparklers get five times hotter than cooking oil? Sparklers are not toys and should never be given to a child under five. Always buy sparklers from a reputable shop to make sure that they conform to British Standards. This means that they should have BS 7114 written on the pack.

Did you know? It is against the law to carry fireworks in public if you’re under 18 Fireworks must not be sold to anyone who is under 18 It is an offence to let fireworks off during night hours (11pm to 7am), except on Bonfire Night (midnight), Diwali, New Year, and Chinese New Year (1am) It is an offence under the Explosives Act 1875 to tamper with or modify fireworks.

Don’t buy sparklers from anywhere you’re not sure about, such as the back of a van or from a temporary, unlicensed market stall. Read the instructions in daylight. Make sure you have: • A torch • A bucket or two of water • Eye protection and gloves
