Welcome to the

December 2017 edition

“Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but also of reflection”

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Winston Churchill

December already and the last magazine of 2017. It doesn’t seem like a year has passed since I was last writing my Christmas magazine introduction. At that time, I was preparing to move house, so we are now approaching our first anniversary of moving into our new home.

Many changes have taken place, not least the removal of a couple of internal walls, and a new kitchen into that enlarged open plan space. A few more changes are planned before the year is out!

The January issue will be delivered to you between Christmas and New Year. If you would like to have something included in this, please make sure details are with me by Friday 8th 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.

New producers are always welcome!

Wishing you and your family and friends a very Happy Christmas.

Enjoy the Christmas festivities and I will be back in a months’ time with your first magazine of 2018!

community Community Hello from Mayflower Sanctuary Christmas is not far away and at this time of year we have a calendar full of fund raising events. We struggle every year for people to help with our fundraising. Unfortunately, lots of our volunteers work during the week, so if the events are during the week we do have a problem finding people to help. Therefore, if anyone would like to join a group of us with a Mayflower collection tin, please call our Sanctuary and let us know, that would be terrific.

We have a beautiful little Miniature Pincher whose name is Blake. He came from a Municipal Pound and unfortunately has a heart condition. This is treatable with medication however his life will be cut quite short with this problem.

At the moment he loves his walks and he is full of life and for a small dog he has a huge personality. So, it would be so lovely for him to find a foster home for Christmas and beyond.

Mayflower will pay any medical bills so no one has to be worried about the expense.

We still also have 2 full of life

Staffy puppies and their mum waiting for their forever homes.

Our Sanctuary is full of beautiful dogs both cross breeds and pedigrees, so if you looking to give a dog a forever home please come along and have a chat about which dog would suit your lifestyle.

Please be aware that over the Christmas period we will not rehome any dog with a family with children. We find that there is too much happening in a family home over this period for any dog or cat to be able to settle in comfortably.

We have a super shop within our reception area where plenty of toys, winter dog coats and any amount of cat paraphernalia can be found for your loving pet for Christmas. Please come along have a coffee and a look around I am sure you will find that special something for your beloved pets.

A few thank you’s now.

Big thank you to Aaron from Greener Plumbing Solutions for rectifying our plumbing crisis.

Also, Rob & Steve at Termstall Fencing for fixing our gate. To all of our kennel and cattery careers who do a fantastic job come rain or shine, to Cattery Manager Penny, Kennel Manager Jennie, Caroline office admin, all volunteers, dog walkers and everyone that helps keep our Sanctuary running like clockwork. Have an amazing Christmas and a Happy Peaceful New Year.

Happy Christmas

Science Week at Tickhill Estfeld Our fantastic Science Week was launched by a visit from Kinetic Theatre. Regular visitors to school, the Kinetic Theatre edutained us with their funny yet informative play “Down to Earth”. The play focused on all matters planetary amongst other scientific concepts and featured characters including water-seeking ducks and daleks.

It was a great performance and enjoyed by all. Inspired by this, for the rest of the week our classes focused on physics, particularly propulsion and rockets.

Our Science Week was organised by our Science Co-ordinator Mrs Forster and we were joined by a STEM Ambassador (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), who led several of the workshops in school. Our Reception Class hosted a “Dark Day” with a space theme and all manner of activities that involved objects that lit up or glowed. Continuing the Space theme Years 1, 2 and 4 made rockets that really took off; Year 4’s rockets carried an egg-stronaut too.

Years 3 and 6 worked on propulsion; Y3 made Roman chariots and catapults in keeping with their Roman topic, whilst Y6 had a competition to see which team could design the fastest elastic band propelled car.

It was an exciting week in school. Our teachers and pupils were really enthused about their work and we are looking forward to lots of other STEM activities throughout the year.

Jingle on the Way! Kick off the festive season by getting the whole family dressed up as Santas, Elves, Reindeer, Christmas Puddings, Snowmen, Fairies or anything else Christmassy! Then walk, jog, run or skip around our Jingle Bell Jog course.

It’s the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit and a fun event for all the family to enjoy and raise money to improve recreational facilities in Tickhill.

This family event is open to all ages and abilities and even dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on short leads.

Entrants can choose on the day whether they wish to complete 1 or 2 laps of the 2.5K course which starts and finishes at Tickhill Cricket Club.

While Christmas attire is essential, you can choose whether you opt for a full costume or just a Santa Hat or Reindeer antlers! Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed though.

28 TICKHILL TODAY

It’s not a race, you can go at your own pace, but for the competitive amongst you there will be the opportunity to set off ahead of the pack!

There will be a festive warm up ahead of the 10am start, and refreshments and entertainment back at the Cricket Club afterwards, so don’t forget to pop a bit of cash into a zipped-up pocket if you think you might be tempted by some brunch when you have finished the run!

Parking at the Cricket Club on the day will be restricted to Blue Badge holders only, so please leave your car at home if at all possible, or park considerately nearby – please do not restrict traffic flow on Alderson Drive, and remember it is a bus route.

Adult entry is £10 and children £5 (under 5’s free).

Join us from 9.30am on Sunday 3rd December. For more information or to find an entry form please visit our facebook page www.fb.com/JingleBellJog2017.

Forms can also be collected from Castlegate Cards, Tickhill Community Library or Karen Connelly Beauty Salon. If you require any further assistance please email thetrigproject@gmail.com

At Christmas, Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus.

The Bible in the Old Testament depicts shepherds as people of responsibility and great love.

King David summarises their nature when he GHVFULEHG *RG DV D VKHSKHUG LQ 3VDOP RQH of the psalms that most of us have connected with at weddings and funerals. On the other hand, by the time Jesus was born, shepherds were not in the good books of people in 3DOHVWLQH 7KH\ ZHUH VHHQ DV VFUXÎ?\ EDQGLWV and thieves. Hence, Jesus, describing himself as the shepherd in the gospel of John chapter 10, had to describe himself as the good one.

Luke went further to state that the shepherds, on hearing the good news, hurried to Bethlehem WR VHH IRU WKHPVHOYHV ZKDW KDV KDSSHQHG Î&#x2013;I they live in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, we may state that they wanted to check if the news was not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

community Garden View

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 46 TICKHILL 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.

Bess of Hardwick Sonia Preece from Hardwick Hall kept us spellbound at the October meeting, as she told us about Bess of Hardwick, of the creation and building of her home, and her move to the new Hardwick Hall. Her new home had more glass in the windows than had ever been seen before.

At this time, second only to Queen Elizabeth I, Bess was the richest woman in England, 66 TICKHILL TODAY

accumulating money from wool, coal, minerals, properties, land, and money lending, not to mention various husbands!

YOUR COUNCILLORS NIGEL CANNINGS

Newsletter Tickhill Town Council - December 2017

As you read this December Newsletter you will probably be well into your Christmas plans and activities. We will have had the Light switch on and the Late Night shopping event which are firmly fixed on the Council Agenda. We are proud that businesses, residents and friends really show the true Christmas spirit and join in the festivities that put Tickhill to the forefront in the Doncaster Area.

Council business carries on throughout the seasons but does slow down a little at this time of year. The first meeting in the New Year is our budget meeting at which we discuss finances and workloads for the year.

A special thank you to Margaret, our Clerk and to Nigel for their continuous commitment at the Pavilion and all the unpaid work they put in. Hopefully this will be resolved soon with the appointment of the new pavilion manager.

My thanks also to my fellow Councillors, for all their contribution to our community affairs We must also thank the hard work of the Tickhill in Bloom Group who, despite the weather and the theft of plants still managed to achieve a Silver Gilt Award in the Doncaster in Bloom Community Group category. If you see anyone taking plants please let us know.

We must also thank all the groups and societies for their 70 TICKHILL TODAY

efforts that make Tickhill such a wonderful place to live in.

During the year we continually meet the Neighbourhood Team and Borough Councillors at the Partnership meetings other than the monthly Council meeting.

This leaves us with the full fifteen minutes Public session entirely for the public to raise their issues. If you have any concerns please come along to the Council meetings, you will be made most welcome.

There is also a meeting monthly, dedicated to planning matters.

Please look at the notice board for dates and times of all meetings.

Although the Council try to keep the dates and times uniform, as in all matters we have to adopt a shifting sands attitude and be prepared to fit in with the majority.

Since launching last year, The Circles project at Age UK Doncaster is working to beat loneliness and social isolation throughout the borough. Circles help people to be happier, healthier and more connected with the support of their community. %HFDXVH HYHU\RQH LV GLÎ?HUHQW &LUFOHV work with people to understand their individual needs, passions and interests.

AT AGE UK DONCASTER WE BELIEVE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE NO ONE. NOT AT CHRISTMAS. NOT EVER. We believe that loneliness is not inevitable.

People of all ages need connections that matter. Yet for 6,000 older people in Doncaster, loneliness is a daily reality and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just mean at Christmas.

A recent survey by Age UK found that nearly 400,000 people aged 65 and over in the UK were worried about being lonely over Christmas and nearly half of the UK was worried about being alone in later life.

Each Circle has a purpose, this may be to EXLOG XS FRQČ´GHQFH VWDUW D QHZ DFWLYLW\ or get back to a hobby â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The purposes are as varied as the people we support!

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already seeing how Circles can help turn peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives around but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this without you!
