Arts Review

& what’s going on - SEPTEMBER 2018 •

VAL HUNT Do you know about JUST A CARD Campaign? This aims to encourage people to buy from Designer/Makers and Independent Galleries and your local Shops in your town or village, by reinforcing the message that all purchases, however small, even ‘just a card’ are so vital to the prosperity and survival of small businesses. The campaign came about when Artist & Designer Sarah Hamilton saw the quote “If everyone who’d complimented our beautiful gallery had bought ‘just a card’ we’d still be open” by store keepers who’d recently closed their gallery. This prompted a call to action! Designer/Makers and independent shops and galleries need a voice. People seldom realise the considerable costs involved in exhibiting at design shows or keeping a shop open. Stand fees, power, materials, wages etc need to be met before even a penny of profit can be realised. Running a shop is often a labour of love. Without dedication and passion, and crucially sales, it would be another boarded up eyesore. This is true for all the things I list on this page. Without your support and/ or the purchase of ‘just a card’ then there would be nothing to list here. www.justacard.org Now then, it’s that time of year when you need to be dusting off your masterworks and preparing them for exhibition in the Doncaster Open Exhibition 2018. Application forms are in all the local libraries and the Museum itself. Delivery dates for ‘judgement’ are 20 to 23 September and the show, which is hung ‘salon-style’. The show runs from 13 October to 9 December. Be a part of it! Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery open Wed to Sunday Exhibition: Until 16th September ‘ENDANGERED AND EXTINCT: RECYCLED SCULPTURES’ by Val Hunt. This is a super vibrant exhibition of old tin cans made into the most fantastic creatures. Her craftsmanship is amazing and painstaking, Val has also made a ‘jewellery’ collection, so beware, you might need to buy some!

Miners Pension Compensation We are successfully claiming compensation for former miners who transferred out of the Mineworkers Pension Scheme. Many miners were advised to transfer their British Coal Pension to a private pension scheme which paid considerably less! This was bad advice and many retired miners or their widows have lost out.

Example 1 - £110,000

Example 2 - £48,000

Mr D, a former miner from Barnsley, was made redundant in the late 1980s. After the pits closed he was encouraged by an agent of the Prudential to transfer his Mineworkers Pension Scheme to them. We were able to show that this was bad advice. The Prudential eventually accepted this and agreed settlement of £110,000.

Mr F, a former miner from Doncaster, was made redundant in the 1980’s. He was advised by an agent of Sun Life to transfer his Mineworkers Pension Scheme to them. He was promised he would get a much better return which wasn’t the case. We submitted a formal complaint; Sun Life agreed to award Mr F a lump sum of £48,333.34.

Hi Everyone, We hope you are all enjoying your summer break. I know how difficult it has been to try and keep your pets cool in the heat, it’s also been really hard walking your dogs, as the ideal time is closer to 9pm when the weather has cooled slightly, that’s if we are able to stay awake until then! Here are some special people to thank. Charlotte and Rob MacConnachie have taken part in a 3 Peak Challenge. Charlotte and her colleagues from Cannon Fire APG Group carried out a sponsored walk on the 11th August. They have raised sponsorship for 3 worthwhile Charities including Mayflower Sanctuary. So a very big thank you and we hope your legs were not too sore at the end of the Challenge. One of our regular supporters will be at the Austerfield Village Show on the 2nd Sept so I hope it is a good day and everyone has fun and supports all the Charities there. We will be holding a Ladies only night in our Reception at the Sanctuary in October (date to be confirmed) keep an eye on our Website. This will be glass of punch, coffee and cake. There will be interesting stalls and if you haven’t started your Christmas shopping maybe that’s a good place to start. Tickets will be £ 5 to include the above. Please support this event ladies, I think you will find it will be great fun. Please see our lovely special selection of cats this month. Penny is our cattery manager and she will be happy to chat to you about all the cats in her care.

Tilly Female 3 years July 2018 Possibly ? ?

Tilly came into care with her buddies Rupert and Tabby because their owner was being evicted and was unable to take them with him to the new house. As previous housecats they have found life difficult here and have struggled to settle but are getting there now. Tilly is proving to be a fussy little lady although she can be a little tentative at first. She is good with other cats, particularly Rupert. She has previously lived with a dog but it chased her constantly so she may be wary of any canine friends. A home with Rupert would be perfect but Tilly would be happy to be homed alone. All she wants is a family to call her own again and a warm lap to cuddle up on in the evening. Not much to ask for eh ???

Rupert Male 2 Years July 2018 Possibly Some Older

Rupert came into care with his buddies Tilly and Tabby because their owner was being evicted and was unable to take them with him to the new house. As previous housecats they have found life difficult here and have struggled to settle. Rupert is quite a timid little chap and as such he may like to remain as a housecat in his new home. He gets easily spooked by loud/sudden noises. He is very shy at first meeting but once he gets to know you, he can be quite fussy with a purr like a tractor. All he needs is a little time and patience for his true personality to come shining through. The wait will be worth it. He is extremely close to his buddies so a home with one of them would be preferred. He has previously lived with a dog but it chased him constantly so he may be wary of any canine friends.

If you wish to call us regarding our cats or dogs please call 01302 711330 and leave a message we will be happy to contact you.

Harworth & Bircotes Tenants & Residents Association The monthly meeting of the Group WRRN SODFH RQ 7XHVGD\ $XJXVW 2018.

Kay Cutts had declined to hold consultations with the public, who pay their council tax, and who vote for these County Councillors. Sheila Place also spoke about the proposal to build a Waste to Energy plant on land adjacent to the boundaries of Harworth and Bircotes. Sheila pointed out that her role is to remain impartial and so she gave the relevant facts, but in discussion many points were raised. This will be far too close to the site where new developments are taking place, and which have been planned for a good while. The plant will process industrial, commercial, municipal and domestic waste, and there are no guarantees that the P KLJK FKLPQH\ ZLOO QRW HPLW WR[LF fumes.

By this prayer we acknowledge that for some of us there seems to be no way forward, no new beginning possible and as I pray these words, I think particularly of lives ruled by addiction, constrained by acute illness, or lost to dementia. But God is with us always and it is the whole of life and the whole of us that is held in God’s loving care. As the church, we are blessed to be a part of so many new beginnings. The Christening of a baby; the marriage of a couple; the funeral of a loved one, which we believe celebrates both the life on earth of the person and the start for that individual of a new perfect existence with God, in heaven, forever. But even more, as the church, we are a community called to new beginnings. We are ordinary people who fail and disappoint, ourselves and each other. But through the unending generosity of our loving God, are forgiven, UHVWRUHG RÎ? HUHG D IUHVK VWDUW D QHZ EHJLQQLQJ

So I have shared some of my new beginnings with you and you have shared some of your new beginnings with us, your local Christian community. Know that we are here should you need us and be assured of the warmest of welcomes.

Exalted for you or brought low for you;

May God bless you and keep you.

community Garden View

By Rachel Leverton

$ KRVW RI JROGHQ 'DÎ? RGLOV Garden centres, nurseries and catalogues are full of daffodil bulbs now. I have to exercise supreme self-restraint every time I wander in! I think I get asked more questions about daffodils than any other plant, apart from roses. I think it’s because they are ubiquitous in the spring and so we assume they are easy to grow. They are...and they aren’t, so I’ll answer the most common questions I get asked here. I think the question I get most is ’How do I get P\ GDIIRGLOV WR Ă€ RZHU PRUH WKDQ RQH \HDU"Âś It’s a good question. It’s tempting to think that the only thing you have to remember about planting daffodil bulbs is to set them pointy side up, but it’s a bit more complicated than that if \RX ZDQW WKHP WR Ă€ RZHU HYHU\ \HDU The trick is to set them deep enough. If you plant them just below the surface, as so many of people do, they dry out, which means they lack the food and moisture to get them through until the following year. The result is an uninteresting clump of leaves rather than a host of golden daffodils.

The third question I’m often asked is, ‘How far DSDUW VKRXOG , SODQW WKH EXEV" They should be planted about 3 inches / 8cm apart in holes about 10 inches / 25cm deep. It looks deep when you are dropping them in EXW LWÂśV ZRUWK WKH HIIRUW IRU WKH UHSHDW Ă€ RZHULQJ &KRRVH WKH ELJJHVW Âż UPHVW EXOEV \RX FDQ Âż QG for each variety. 7KH Âż QDO TXHVWLRQ , JHW DVNHG LV Âľ:KHQ FDQ , FXW GRZQ WKH IROLDJH DIWHU Ă€ RZHULQJ"Âś , ZRXOG suggest waiting for 6 weeks. If you have a very small garden and can’t bear to have untidy foliage lying around you might be better treating the bulbs as annuals (daffodil bulbs aren’t generally expensive.). Or you can plant them in an aquatic basket, and after Ă€ RZHULQJ \RX FDQ GLJ WKH EDVNHW XS ZDWHU WKH bulbs regularly then replant in the autumn.

You can plant daffodils any time now, to the end of October. Sooner is better.

Alternatively, you can buy dwarf varieties of GDIIRGLO ZKLFK KDYH GDLQWLHU À RZHUV DQG IROLDJH VR \RX FDQ KDYH SUHWW\ À RZHUV ZLWKRXW WKH resulting foliage posing a problem.

The next question I get asked a lot is, ‘What’s WKH GLIIHUHQFH EHWZHHQ GDIIRGLOV DQG QDUFLVVL"Âś

Whatever you decide, remember plant deeper than you think and‌

This is also a good question. All daffodils are narcissi, but not all narcissi are daffodils! ‘Daffodils’ is the name we give to narcissi with large trumpets.

Happy gardening!

Any queries: contact me or other councillors, we will, as always, try to help FIGHTING FOR HARWORTH AND BIRCOTES 1. Harworth and Bircotes Campaign Against the Proposed Incinerator. Planning Application to Nottinghamshire County Council: Ref. No ES/3860 for a 20MWE WasteTo-Energy Power Generator on Harworth Industrial Site. I found out about the application via another source and so had to request details from Notts. County Council, which we have shared with you, QHDUE\ SDULVK FRXQFLOV DQG Č´UPV RQ the industrial sites. Please note, there will be a Public Meeting on Monday 3rd September, starting at 6pm, at the Town Hall, with John Mann M.P. and a Notts. &RXQW\ &RXQFLO 3ODQQLQJ 2É?FHU ZKR wants to hear your views. This is a huge issue for everyone associated with our community - the potential impact on health, local business, property values, and future development is unthinkable. Fighting this proposal on your behalf is our primary concern – this is why the Town Council has taken the lead, why we will be objecting to this proposal to incinerate waste refuse on Lords Wood Road, and why we have taken the following action: Priority for Council: getting the 40 HARWORTH TODAY

application details into the public domain and raising public awareness about: • 320,000 tonnes per year of Refuse Derived Fuel – waste collected from councils, trade and industry • Waste transported by H.G.V.s – 7am to 7pm – a total of 70 in/out journeys per day on both Blyth Road and Snape Lane, along with 58 in/out journeys of lighter vehicles – that’s an increase of 128 journeys per day, 5 days a week, and an increase in vehicle-caused pollution. • The incineration of waste is planned to be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week • The size of the plant: 4066sq.m would occupy 2 plots on Lords Wood Road site, with a height of 30.6m (100ft) – and the chimney stack would be 65m (195ft) high. • Emissions from the chimney stack: particulate matter (PM) is condensed solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere; particles less than 2.5 microns are associated ZLWK DGYHUVH KHDOWK HÎ?HFWV Č‚ D UHDO concern! Priority for Council: Adequate Consultation Period: Our size of population makes this more challenging than for smaller parish populations; hence the Town Council immediately asked for an extension to the consultation period – the new date for the end of consultation is 14th September. Priority for Council: Assisting the Community. This is why we put posters in public places, prepared objection letters for people to sign, along with a petition. We have a Fact Sheet/other information for people to read/learn more about this proposal – all available from the Town Hall and Council website - and we have held 2 drop-in sessions. Some councillors have knocked on doors, some of us have distributed material to the business community, and I have liaised with other organisations who also have concerns about this proposal. This is a most important issue for the Town Council and the people of Harworth and Bircotes to consider and respond to, along with those working in nearby business parks or living in neighbouring communities

- and I am grateful for the help and support from Town, District and County Council colleagues, members of the public, and from the business community. I am impressed by the number of people who have signed a letter objecting to the proposal, and by all those who have signed the petition – thank you. But, this work has to continue up to the 14th 6HSWHPEHU Č‚ ZH FDQQRW DÎ?RUG WR EH complacent – this is about our future welfare, please let Notts. County Council have your comments. An Important Point: Democracy means that everyone has the right to express their own opinion. The Town Council has details of the planning application and the address of the Planning Dept. at Notts. County, should you require it, plus a Fact Sheet with data assembled from the application – without bias –by a 3ODQQLQJ 2É?FHU You can also comment on line via the County Council Website link http:/ www.nottinghamshire. gov.uk/planningsearch/plandisp. aspx?AppNo=ES/3860. 2. Still Fighting for Harworth and Bircotes. Last month I mentioned Ζ ZDV KRSLQJ RÉ?FHUV IURP Nottinghamshire County Council would visit Harworth and Bircotes and see for themselves the potential this Town has; the good news is they will be here in September. This presents as an opportunity to enlighten them about the development, so far, of Harworth and Bircotes and the Colliery site; importantly, it is also an opportunity to help them see the big picture outlined in the Neighbourhood Plan for a new Town Centre, and in particular, the plans for improved WUDÉ?F PDQDJHPHQW DQG SHGHVWULDQ safety on Scrooby Road; previous ZRUN KDV LGHQWLČ´HG ZKHUH ZH QHHG more pedestrian crossings, and the one near the Health Centre certainly needs to be upgraded/made safer. Knowing that preparation is key, I have worked on my strategy, with plans, designs, statistics, and evidence of need for future investment that supports the Neighbourhood Plan, all to hand for them to see. I had to smile ZKHQ FRQČ´UPDWLRQ RI the visit was followed by a request TO ADVERTISE CALL 01302 969696

Harworth & Bircotes Town Council - SEPTEMBER 2018 for the Town Hall post code, sensibly for the purpose of putting it into a sat. nav. device. I know Harworth DQG %LUFRWHV LV RÎ?

I and my councillor colleagues were devastated when we were told there was a problem with what is an important community facility – I was so angry that this community and Council had unwittingly been made victims. BUT we recognised that the problem had to be addressed, and so we have got on with following due process, calling in experts, and taking advice on the SUDFWLFDO LVVXHV LGHQWLČ´HG Yes, it was a shock, yes, it was unforeseen, and yes, it has been a setback for all of us. What I hope for is understanding and backing from the local community, whilst Council gets on with resolving the problem; we are now reaching the stage when work can soon begin. Will this be the end of the battle? No, Council is engaged in another kind of action, which at this stage also means following advice regarding FRQČ´GHQWLDOLW\ RQ VRPH VSHFLČ´F aspects. As for the person who thinks I should sell my home to pay for the repairs, why would I? Are you suggesting that the structural problems we have LGHQWLČ´HG DUH WKH IDXOW RI &RXQFLO RU PH" I sincerely hope not, otherwise I will be seeking my own legal advice. Speaking from the Heart. As a councillor there are times when I get great satisfaction when something positive happens for this community; yes, there are occasions when something unexpectedly goes wrong – like the problem with the Town Hall, or a threat appears that must be challenged - such as the proposed Waste Incinerator. This all goes with the territory, you just have to grit your teeth, roll up your sleeves and keep on doing your best for the people you serve. There are also times when I am VDGGHQHG DQG RÎ?HQGHG E\ ZKDW VRPH people say, though seldom to my face. I hate injustice, I greatly value my own and Council’s integrity, and believe

that negative comments, deliberate misinformation, slurs and innuendoes against Council/councillors do little to honestly represent the views of the majority of people, in what I know to be a great community. Friends have even asked me “why do you do the job?â€? Then someone stops me in the street, the car park, the supermarket. They may have a question, or a problem I can help them with, but often they just want to say that they like what is happening in the community, and keep up the good work‌ and then I tell my friends “that’s why I do the job!â€?

Harworth & Bircotes Town Council - SEPTEMBER 2018 However, this means that two of the columns used for Christmas lights will no longer be available. Q. Which do you think is the best deal two missing Christmas lights for a few weeks of the year, or free Wi-Fi for 52 weeks a year? It’s a no-brainer, folks! Planning Applications Appeal Ref. No: 18/00024/536, Relating to previously refused Outline Planning Application No. 17/00845/ OUT to build up to six dwellings on land fronting the New Cemetery on Styrrup Road, Harworth. 18/00903/OUT: Outline Planning Application for land rear of Grange Farm, Blyth Road, Harworth: Residential development for up to 199 dwellings. 17/01728/OUT/ Hybrid Planning Application for Outline Planning Permission for Residential Development of Approximately 650 New Homes (Approval being sought for Access). Full Planning Approval (Phase 1) for the Development of 161 New Homes, Open Space, Landscaping and Associated Infrastructure/Land South of Tickhill Road, Harworth. N.B. These can all be viewed on the Bassetlaw District Council Planning website. The Things People Say! A Waste-to-Energy Power Generation Plant will, some residents believe, create hundreds of jobs. Rubbish! (excuse the pun) – the correct number is 38. North Notts Border School: A rumour began that the school was being demolished when workmen were seen on the site 19th July. The truth is WKDW IROORZLQJ WKH ȴ UHV DW WKH VFKRRO and an inspection by a structural engineer, Bassetlaw District Council’s Building Control Section served notice on the property owners, requiring them to carry out work to ensure public safety. These workmen were simply doing what had been requested in the notice served on the owners, they were not there to begin demolition work. N.B. Remember, the Article 4 Direction previously placed on the school means that NO demolition work is allowed whilst that Direction is in place.

What is true is that the Town Council and Bassetlaw District Council are exploring funding options and looking at how we can bring the school back into use, which must be disappointing news for those spreading the rumour that Bassetlaw Council is planning to knock it down and build houses! To Make You Smile: Seeing is believing – or is it? Have you ever had one of those moments when you see something, but for some reason your brain doesn’t accept what your eyes are telling it? One morning in July, bright and early and still in my dressing gown, I opened my back door and looked out to check that all was well. I get lots of birds in my garden, I’m used to them squabbling over food I put out for them, but on this morning, I saw the rear of a very large pigeon with longer legs bullying a smaller pigeon, ZKLFK TXLFNO\ Čľ HG WKH VFHQH Ζ FORVHG the door, wandered into the kitchen DQG VZLWFKHG RQ WKH NHWWOH IRU WKH Č´ UVW FXS RI FRÎ? HH Č? EXW IRU VRPH UHDVRQ DQ DODUP ZDV JRLQJ RÎ? LQ P\ KHDG something wasn’t quite right. I returned to the back door, opened it again, and the longer-legged pigeon was still there. I took a closer look, and then realised as it turned around that it wasn’t a pigeon at all, it was a guinea fowl – not what you expect to Č´ QG LQ \RXU JDUGHQ DW DQ\ WLPH QHYHU mind at 5am! In my defence, it was the soft grey plumage that had fooled me; later I discovered they can be white, grey, or the dark speckled colour I am more familiar with; I also learned this bird was probably an African Domesticated Guinea Fowl, though it didn’t look too domesticated to me! I guess this really was a case when “I couldn’t believe my eyesâ€?.
