NEED A HOLIDAY?

“Some of the best memories are made in flip flops” Kellie Elmore - Author Whatever you are doing this summer I hope you get the opportunity to enjoy a little bit of relaxation time and make some memories with your loved ones. August can be a slow time for lots of shops and businesses, with so many of their customers away on holiday or enjoying a different routine which takes them to other shopping venues. I am sure that there are some local to you who would appreciate your support during this period (and the rest of the year too)! Following the success of our previous giveaways, this month we have 10 pairs of tickets for The Festival of Food and Drink taking place at Clumber Park in September. This is a great day out, look out for the Giveaway details in the magazine for your chance to enter. With 10 pairs available it really is worth a go! The September issue will be delivered to you very late August or for many in the first few days of September. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Monday 19th August. As always, I will take some time away from desk and my computer screen during the school holidays so your assistance in ensuring that items are submitted on time is much appreciated. Enjoy August and I will be back in a months’ time with your September magazine.

Best wishes,

I don’t know what all is happening but there has been a big effort to cover as many different areas and venues in the village as possible. Due to our own holiday club and a church trip to Italy to help a new church there, our bit won’t start until the middle.

Often this means buying a different size than you’re used to in order to get the fit you need. Fitting you in the right shoe is what we do.

Here’s how your running shoes should ﬁt:

By the time you read this the holiday season will be in full swing – let’s hope for good weather for everyone. We are thrilled to say the Midsummer Walk has so far raised £6,406. There is still some outstanding sponsorship money which we hope will eventually bring the total to nearer £7,000. Thank you so much to everyone who took part, their sponsors, Thorne Rural Lions who worked extremely hard and Vizuality who designed and printed all the paperwork. There is a coffee morning at the Church Hall, Hatfield Woodhouse on Saturday, 3rd August from 10-12 noon where there will be raffle prizes to be won. Proceeds will be donated to DCDT. We will have a stall at Auckley Show on Saturday, 17th August selling scarves, £2 mystery parcels and other goodies. The Show opens at 12 noon with free admission and free parking. Check out their website: auckleyshow.co.uk. There is lots to do and see for all the family including free competitions. Have you seen the displays for the “Happiness Movement” in Frenchgate Centre? They are designed to get people involved in various projects. There is a garden seating area outside Boots on the ground floor and two i-pads in the Centre where the public can send messages as well as make a donation to DCDT. Also we have fundraising packs available with lots of ideas to raise money for us! If you would like a pack to organise an event on our behalf please get in touch with us.

Until 15 September ‘HANDS UP!’ From brushing our teeth first thing in the morning to turning off the bedside lamp last thing at night, the human hand is indispensable, not just for everything we do but for those artifacts with which we do them with. ‘Hands Up’ brings together a display of art and artefact from the collection of Heritage Doncaster, celebrating the human hand. www.doncaster.gov.uk/museums Art at the Deli: This month you will find paintings by JEAN RUSH www.artatthedeli.com Harley Gallery Welbeck until 22 September IN MY SHOES a show of self portraiture including the not so young YBAs Tracy Emin and Grayson Perry www.harleygallery.co.uk National Trust, Hardwick Hall Wednesday – Sunday, 11am-5pm until 3 November.

Kip Combes (1924-2013) was a prominent figure on the local art scene and a president of the Worksop Society of Artists, while his son Richard is a highly respected New York-based artist who has exhibited internationally and has work in major private collections worldwide. During the early stages of World War II, Kip Combes was evacuated to Retford with his family and, apart from a period of living in Manchester, he remained in the town for the rest of his life. Richard was brought up in Retford and worked as an architect in the UK before moving to New York City. There he earned Master’s degree in painting at the New York Academy of Art and his remarkable skills and mastery of techniques have earned him multiple awards and a full membership of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Although many of Richard’s works are realistic representations of people and objects, they are not just

skilful depictions of subjects. His art transports viewers into the middle of an intriguing, unfinished story and makes them wonder about how it continues. This exceptional artistry transforms everyday spaces and objects into extraordinary images that are both absorbing and haunting. 17 August – 5 October WEATHILL ART GROUP www.bassetlaw.museum.gov.uk Yorkshire Sculpture Park The Weston, the new £3.6million gallery and restaurant at YSP has won three RIBA prizes. It is winner of RIBA Yorkshire Award 2019 and RIBA Yorkshire Building of the Year Award 2019. YSP also received the special category award for RIBA Yorkshire Client of the Year Award 2019.

In the Weston Gallery you will find a beautiful exhibition by Punjabi artists THUKRAL & TAGRA whose work discusses the problems faced by subsistence farmers in the Punjab. Until 5 Jan 2020 DAVID SMITH will be found in the Underground Gallery and surrounding area. David Smith (1906-65) is the American artist who took sculpture off the plinth and made it in steel and stainless steel. His work isn’t always beautiful, its hard edged and tough, but will be worth seeing, and hopefully the galleries will be well filled and stunning. www.ysp.co.uk Cupola Gallery until 24 August MAKERS MARK a group exhibition focusing on artwork where the touch of the artists’ hand is visible www.cupolagallery.com Gardens everywhere: The NGS open garden scheme is now in full swing with gardens opening up and down the country and many in our locality throughout the summer.

Summer bargains T The local RSPCA Charity Shops are launching their super summer bargains with all four outlets taking advantage of a bumper season of quality donations. The shops at The Courtyard, Bawtry; High Street, Maltby; Field Road, Thorne; and Queen Mary’s Road, Rossington are oﬀering an excellent secondhand range including ladieswear, menswear, children’s and bric-a-brac. Each shop continues to invite quality donations – it is a never ending cycle, or in this case re-cycle. Shop sales help the local RSPCA continue the vital work for animals suﬀering cruelty and neglect. There are many ways to help us with our mission to rehome and rehabilitate animals including volunteering, donating cash or goods, sponsoring us through our Safe Haven programme and attending our events. We have charity shops at Maltby, Bawtry, Rossington and Thorne. At the Animal Centre we rehome the animals in our care and have a pet supplies store on site for all your requirements. We also provide a pet cremation service and a memorial garden for your beloved pets. To donate £5, text ‘RSPCADRB’ to 70085.

Hello from Mayflower, What a difference a month or two makes, instead of keeping our dogs warm, we are now filling paddling pools to keep them cool. The kennel assistants also hose the kennel runs to keep the dogs nice and cool and chilled, so as you can imagine on top of all the other jobs it is hard work but very necessary. Last time I wrote about Lottie who had the ear operation and is totally deaf, she is now ready for re-homing she is a lovely small short haired Collie type, who is learning hand signals, but is still a little nervous and needs to gain more confidence. If you feel that you are able to help this lovely girl please give us a call. We also have older puppies that are very pretty, but please be aware that are criteria for re-homing puppies is quite strict. However please come along and chat to our kennel staff they will be happy to help you. We have some beautiful kittens here too, again come and speak to us about our adoption procedure for kittens. Some of us did a Doncaster Street collection in July. We had a really great day and thoroughly enjoyed the street artist that was singing on the same street. We happily joined in and also met some lovely people and listened to their stories. Doncaster people are always so generous so a big thank you to everyone that supported us. We had a fantastic Dog Show and raised lots of money at the Pavilion field in Tickhill. It was a beautiful day, thank you to everyone that came to show off their lovely dogs it was such a difficult decision for the judges as every dog has a special something. Thank you to people that baked cakes for the cake stall and kitchen, also to all volunteer that helped on the day, we had such a brilliant turn out. One last thanks to Shaun and Vin who did the BBQ it made a welcome lunch time treat. Please call us if you require any information about our Sanctuary. We have an abundance of beautiful dogs and cats so please if you are looking for a special pet please call for a chat and a look around. Our telephone number is 01302 711330. Have a lovely summer. Best Wishes

Bagpuss Female 18 mth Apr 2019 No No Yes Older

Bagpuss came into our care with her brother due to domestic issues in their previous home. Unfortunately, once here, she decided to bully her sibling and had to be separated. Maybe she prefers to be an only kitty – that way she gets ALL the attention. Bagpuss has lived with young children in her previous home but we have found her to be a little feisty and is therefore not recommended to be rehomed with youngsters. Bagpuss does not like dogs. In her previous home, Bagpuss was mainly a housecat but was allowed outside under strict supervision. She would possibly enjoy a secure garden to explore once she’s thoroughly settled into her new home. If you’re looking for a fussy kitty with a mind of her own and bags of character, then look no further. Here she is !!!!!!

Murphy Male 3 Years Mar 2019 Possibly No Yes

Murphy has been very reluctantly signed over into Mayflowers care because he isn’t getting along with the other 2 cats in the household. They used to live together quite peacefully but recently Murphy has been attacking his ‘sisters’ to the point that one of them had to be taken to the emergency vets. Medical issues have been ruled out and all calming measures have been tried. Unfortunately it appears to be a personality clash so his owners made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. For this reason Murphy must be an only cat. He has met a dog whilst here and wasn’t unduly worried by it. Murphy has previously been allowed access to the outside so he would like a garden to explore in his new home. He is a very loving chap and purrs like a tractor when he gets going. He is also very vocal especially around feeding time ! Have you room in your heart for this handsome boy? We hope so.

Your Legal Questions Answered Q. I have a legal problem but I’m worried about the expense of talking to a solicitor? How do their fees work? Will I be charged as soon as I talk to a solicitor? We always recommend that you call our office for a chat about your problem, as often we can assist on the telephone at no cost. The cost of a solicitor will depend on various issues, such as the area law and the experience of the solicitor. In some areas of law solicitors work for fixed fees and in other areas of law it is on an hourly basis. Conveyancing, wills and some family work will be on a fixed fee basis. It will not cost you to make an enquiry and this needs to be your starting point. Q. I have recently split up with my husband and we have only been married for 6 months. Unfortunately, we just weren’t happy. I have been told by a friend that I will need to wait at least two years before I can divorce him. Is that right? From your comments it does not sound like the separation involves unreasonable behaviour nor adultery. These grounds must be involved in order to issue divorce proceedings without a two-year separation. In your circumstances the divorce would be based on two years separation assuming your husband consents to the divorce and cooperates.

Q. I was sacked from my job whilst absent because of a broken leg. I hadn’t signed a contract and they said I was finished as I had been off work for too long. Can I make a claim for unfair dismissal? You can be fairly dismissed even when you are absent due to illness or injury. Any claim for unfair dismissal will depend on how long you are employed for. If you have less than two years service, then you cannot bring a claim for unfair dismissal. There are some exceptions to this rule, but these do not apply in your case. In view of the fact that you had not yet signed your contract, we presume that your employment is only just beginning and therefore you would not have a claim. Q. My name is on my daughter’s birth certificate, however she doesn’t live with me, although I pay maintenance and she often stays with me. I am a single father and need to know if I have parental responsibility? Your name being on the birth certificate gives you automatic parental responsibility for your daughter. You have shared rights and responsibilities with the mother of your daughter. If you have a legal query that you would like answering in a future issue then please email it to t’nere@taylorbracewell.co.uk

popular Gin School returns with a new twist in the form of the iconic game of Bingo. ‘GINGO’ puts a new twist on Britain’s favourite tipple, as each session give participants the chance to learn more about the nation’s favourite spirit, while wielding their dabbers for a game of bingo. GINGO sessions will be held each day at 12noon, 1.30pm and 3pm, where attendees will receive ﬁve gin and tonic tastings, a goodie bag, game of bingo and top prizes for GINGO winners – including bottles of gin.

Rossington Parish Council

Pride of Rossington Evening

Christmas Carol Concert

The Pride of Rossington event is scheduled for The 21st of September. This event recognises local people businesses and organisations that contribute to the appearance or enhance community life in our village in a voluntary capacity. Nomination forms are available from the Parish Council oﬃce at Rossington Memorial Hall and can be posted out to anyone wishing to make a nomination. The elected Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones has already conﬁrmed her attendance and will be presenting the awards to the successful candidates. The event is always a lovely evening and shows some of the great things being done in our village.

This is still being ﬁnalised and details will follow. This event is held at the memorial hall with the churches together group leading on this. Last year the School band from St Michael’s school did a fantastic job and it was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone that attended.

Keeping Rossington Tidy Well done to everyone that has supported and taken part in these litter picks. Well done to Gaynor Spencer for starting this oﬀ and continuing to organise the picks, well done to Dot Metcalf and the other adult workers but mostly a huge well done to the young people that have taken part in picking up the litter and tidying up around our village. I’m sure this must seem like a thankless never ending task but I can assure you that it is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work everyone. OTHER INITIATIVES There is so much going on that I could discuss further but as there is limited space available and at the risk of boring you I will just outline a few things that I will report on in future issues. The Rossington Firework Display This will take place on Tuesday the 5th of November and the display will be set to the music of Star Wars this year . Last years display was very well attended with over four thousand people attending.

Defibrillators for Rossington. The parish Council have recently purchased 2 defibrillators to be installed in the Village. There is already a public accessible defibrillator available at St Michael’s School. The next 2 are to be sited at Rossington Fire Station and Weldricks Chemist. Both of these companies are meeting the cost of installing and maintaining the units. There are plans to increase the numbers of defibrillators in the coming months and I will report on this in the next issue. A huge thank you to Paul Reed for all his hard work and dedication in developing this initiative Rossington Neighbourhood Plan. This document has now been submitted to Doncaster Council for examination in preparation for the referendum later this year. We as a parish council are always looking at how we can support and enhance our community we are currently busy looking at how to improve the market area and also the hedgerows along Waddy Lane to the cemetery. There is much much more that I need to talk with you about but I will hopefully be able to discuss these further next month. Bye for now

UPDATE FROM COUNCILLORS

RACHAEL BLAKE AND MICK COOPER Your DMBC Councillors

With the summer holidays already started if your children or grandchildren haven’t got involved with the Expect Summer Programme there are lots of great activities happening. Visit https://expectyouth.co.uk/events/rossington/ to find out what is going on – something for everyone of all ages and interests. It is great to see many different groups from the village putting on activities as they have done for the last 4 summers so please do get involved. Bankwood Lane We attended another meeting, organised by the Parish Council to get an update on the plans for Attero/Eco Power and hear the outcome of the consultation when residents and businesses were asked for their views on the existing lorry park – the planning permission for this ended at the beginning of June. We were informed at the meeting, by DMBC Planning that due to the responses to the consultation, an enforcement notice has been served on Eco power to stop using the lorry park. They can appeal against this decision and we weren’t informed whether this would happen. Also the Environment Agency are still considering their application to increase the tonnage of the site which they expected to get an update on in the next few weeks. Eco Power told residents that if this permission was granted it would provide a modern facility with all of their operation enclosed. Also they explained about how they were removing the waste that is currently on the site and this should be removed by August. The EA and DMBC have said that the flies that some residents are having problems with are not coming from any of the sites on Bankwood Lane so Rachael has a meeting with DMBCs Public Health Director to discuss what further action can be taken. Problems with Iport/Lidl Car Park Discussions are ongoing between DMBC officers and companies around the Iport to address ongoing problems with parking, traffic, lorry parking overnight etc. Progress on these discussions will be included in future updates.

Golf Club developments We contact DMBC planning officers on a regular basis to ask for any progress on the proposed PGA Golf Course. The response we receive is that further work is being done by various parties and further questions are being asked by statutory organisations – again once we have any more information, we will include it in this update. Councillor Surgeries We are available to help with any problems or concerns that you have about Doncaster Council services, St Leger housing or anything that you would like to see improved in the village. Over the last few months we have assisted with lots of housing concerns including requests to move, improvements to properties, untidy gardens and alleys, speeding, traffic concerns and buses. You are welcome to come along to our regular surgeries, but please don’t wait for them if your problem is urgent. We are happy to hear from you by phone, text or email. If we don’t answer your call, please do leave a message and we will call you back. Next surgery Friday 9 August from 12.45-2pm at the café in Holmescarr Centre and from 2. 15 -4 at Miners Welfare on West End Lane. Please get in touch with us if we can assist in any way – we can deal with housing concerns, bins, pavements, roads, traffic, hedges, grass cutting, street scene as well as hearing your views on what improvements you would like to see. Please don’t wait for our surgeries, we can meet you anytime in Rossington. Please get in touch with us if we can assist in any way.
