Editors Letter.... April is full of traditions, a few that spring to mind are 1st April, of course
April Fools Day, Good Friday, Easter Day and
St. George's Day. Again it is my favourite time of year, I think with
the terrible winter we have all endeared, there is a
glimmer of hope, blue skies and the feeling of
warmer days ahead! Apparently I have heard
because of the cold Winter, we will have a fantastic
Summer ahead. I will believe it when I see it! This month, I welcome all my new advertisers, and
of course not forgetting all my existing customers
who have stayed with the Arrow since the
beginning. The April issue has proved a very busy
month! I would like to thank all the calls I receive, along
with emails who support the magazine, all your
comments are greatly appreciated! Again, anyone with any local news, clubs or
societies who would like to be included, give me a
ring or contact me on email.
Also, if anyone fancies a 6 mile off road trail run in
the fabulous woodland/parkland around Rossington
Hall, you can download an entry form at
www.metrestomiles.co.uk Entries cost £12 -
including a FREE event tee-shirt!
The event is at the Northern Racing College in
Rossington on Sunday 11 April, 10.45am. Come
and take the challenge and have a run You don't
have to be super-fit. There will also be displays by
students from the college, a horse simulator if you
fancy being the next Frankie Detorri and tours of
the stables.
Have a great Easter and enjoy the
read...

The May meeting of the Isle of
Axholme group of the Lincolnshire
Wildlife Trust will take place on Thursday
May 6th when Natasha Estrada will be giving us a
talk about small mammals found in Britain. Although
we know what many of these animals look like from
pictures or television programmes, most of us
rarely, if ever, see these creatures in the wild
because they are so secretive. Natasha worked for
the Trust for a time monitoring small mammals,
particularly water voles and bats, and she now
conducts ecological surveys for various people. We
have been trying to get a speaker on this subject for
a few years so we are looking forward to this
meeting. Do come along and join us, our meetings
are open to anyone; you don‘t have to be a Trust
member.
We meet
on the
first
Thursday
of the
month
from
October
to May at
the new
hall at the rear of Haxey Methodist Chapel on Low
Street starting at 7.30pm. There is a small admission
charge of £1 and there is a raffle and refreshments.
Bird food is always on sale at the meetings as well as
at Geoff‘s house in Belton. For further information
about the local Trust group and their meetings
please contact Geoff or Chris Trinder on 01427
872051. We look forward to welcoming all regular
members and new visitors.
Do You Recognise This Cap?
I have been passed a collection of costume that
belonged to a donor's father and
grandfather. One of these items is what appears to
be a school cap, and as the family was from the
Epworth area I was wondering if anyone might
recognise which school it was from?
If anyone can help I would be very much
appreciated!

"The Arrow is a really useful source
of information about local activities,
local businesses and local
history. I enjoyed reading Tony Catherall's "Now
& Then" article in the last edition of The Arrow,
particularly as the photographs showing Epworth in
1912 and now featured my house. The
photograph and the article give a glimpse of what
life was like nearly 100 years ago. His article on
the Romans was interesting too. Let's now have
an article on how Battle Green in Epworth
got its name, Tony. That really is going
back into the Dark Ages!"

The current priorities for the Axholme Central area are:- Burglaries within the area of Westgate Road to Sandtoft Road,
Belton. Anti-social behaviour/neighbourhood disputes within the Stool
Close Road area. The Neighbourhood Central team are commencing their
first 'walkabout' surgery on 25 March 2010 and will be on patrol in
and around the Epworth Town Centre between 1500 and 1600
hours, we are conducting these as we feel that this may be more
productive than the surgeries we held at Haxey Library every
month, which I have to say were not used and would allow us to
engage with the community and allow the public to report their
concerns to us. The neighbourhood team are also exploring the
possibility of using the Police events bus to visit the villages to increase community
engagement and give more residents the chance to report their concerns to the local
officers.
PC Starbuck will be attending South Axholme School to present certificates to those who took part in the
Lifestyle 2009. Lifestyle is a Humberside Police initiative for 10 to 16 year olds to encourage young people to
help their communities during the school summer holidays.
PC STARBUCK and PCSO PEARSON were invited to give a talk about policing to the Epworth Women's
Network on Wednesday 10 March 2010. We would like to thank all the ladies for allowing us to visit and hope
that they enjoyed the afternoon as much as we did.
Officers on motorcycles have been out on the Isle to deal with quad bikes and motorcyclists who have been
creating on-going nuisance to residents and we would encourage anyone who has these to cease any activity
which again will be looked at positively by the police.
Please may I ask that all motorists who use their mobile phones whilst driving that they are liable to both a fine
and points on their licences, so please stop using mobile phones, nothing is that urgent that you need to answer
or make a call on your mobile phone driving.
Now that we are hopefully entering the lighter nights and better weather! can I ask that we are all aware of
leaving property insecure and especially doors into our property as it only takes a very short while for people to
come in and steal your property including your car keys and cars and give you what you believe a plausible
reason. If you spot anyone and they are not always alone and you have any reservations, suspicions please ring
the police immediately, do not take time over thinking whether you should or should not I would rather you
rang in at the time.
You can contact Humberside Police on 0845 60 60 222 for non-emergency calls. If you feel uncomfortable in
calling the police with information about crime, then please consider contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555
111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity working to fight crime. They can also be joined
on Twitter, Facebook and Bebo or if you go onto the Crimestoppers website you can also fill our an on-line
form. When contacting Crimestoppers you do not have to give your name and you may be eligible for a cash
reward.
Working with Pc Tina Starbuck is your Police Community Support Officer Stewart PEARSON, who regularly
patrols the Central area of the Isle and will be happy to discuss any community issues with you. Please feel free
to stop and speak with him or alternatively contact either of us via 0845 60 60 222.
The police station at Epworth also provides a front counter service for two days a week, Mondays and
Thursdays, between 9am and 3pm.
The date and location for the next Neighbourhood Action Team meeting has yet to be decided and you will be
informed as soon as we know.

Double unveiling at Epworth‟s
Old Rectory Museum
There was a double unveiling at one of North Lincolnshire‘s
popular tourist attractions on Saturday (February 20) - and one
was a surprise for the 90-year-old woman taking part. Local MP Ian Cawsey was at Epworth‘s Old Rectory to officially
unveil a certificate given to it to mark the fact the building had
been officially designated as a museum by the Museums,
Libraries and Archives Council ((MLA).
And then Jean Watson from York was asked to cut a tape to
officially open a exhibition room at the Old Rectory – famous
throughout the world as the birthplace of John and Charles
Wesley, who founded the Methodist movement. Mrs Watson had been asked to open the exhibition room as she had donated two prints to the museum
and was there to represent all the people who had made donations. However, it was not until she arrived that she was asked to perform the tape cutting ceremony and said:
―I‘ll be thrilled and delighted to do so.‖ Earlier, before unveiling the MLA certificate, Ian Cawsey said: ―This represents a huge amount of hard
work by a lot of people to get the Old Rectory accredited as a museum. ―I congratulate all involved and look forward to the Old Rectory going on to even bigger and better things
in the future,‖ he added.

For decades, we've been warned
about the dangers of sun
exposure. Most of us diligently apply sunscreen
before heading outdoors, confident that we are
protecting ourselves from malignant melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. The experts have gotten their point across, maybe too well! As it turns out, in our effort to avoid overexposure to
the sun, we have left ourselves vulnerable to arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers, as well as other diseases. Exposure to the sun
is our easiest and most common source of vitamin D, and although it is important to avoid sunburn, a little exposure to the sun each day can go a long way in
protecting our health. Without sufficient vitamin D, experts fear that we may even see a resurgence of rickets in children, a disease that had become fairly
rare in both Europe and the U.S. In today's world, we not only slather on the sunscreen before spending time outside, but many of us spend
very little time outdoors to begin with. further limiting our exposure to the sun's rays. Depending on the climate in your area, opportunity for sun exposure sufficient to help protect against
both breast and prostate cancer may be hard to come by. In the UK, the suns rays are too weak for a good half of the year to allow absorption adequate enough
to aid in the body's production of vitamin D. Even in the hot, sunny climates of the Middle East and Africa, people often choose long sleeved garments to protect
themselves from sunburn. While they are decreasing the incidence of malignant melanoma, they are depriving themselves of a vital nutrient.
So what is the answer? We can get some vitamin D through food sources, such as milk, eggs, and fatty fish, but dietary sources alone typically fall far short of the mark. Supplements are widely available, but even with
supplementation, the blood levels of vitamin D can remain depleted. We certainly do not want to return to the days of unprotected sunbathing -- we have
concrete proof that allowing our skin to burn puts us at risk, yet it is clear that the vitamin D offered by sun exposure does provide some healthful benefits.
As with most things, moderation is your best bet; seeking a little bit of daily sunlight seems to be the optimal solution. While it is important to avoid
unprotected exposure during the hours of 11 a.m. through 3 p.m. when the sun's rays are the most direct and therefore the most dangerous, it is prudent
to spend 10-15 minutes each day soaking up the sun's rays. So rejoice! Take your breakfast tray outside and start your day by enjoying a bit of the morning sunshine.

The Isle of Axholme Where You Live Your Local History
Adapted by Anthony Catherall
THE SAXONS AND SCANDINAVIANS IN THE ISLE OF AXHOLME Continued For the next three hundred years or so the Saxon Kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria con-ducted a smouldering conflict. The Isle on the frontier was often the centre of contention and bloodshed. It is said that three east/west hillocks called the Giants Graves near High Melwood were the graves of soldiers killed in these conflicts. Now, apparently they are no longer discernible. In the late 8th century the Danes started to make raids on the east coast. The Humber and Trent provided excellent transport inland. In 797 A.D. the country around the Humber and Trent were devastated by Danish raiders. This occurred again in 838 A.D. In 870 A.D. the Danish raiders plundered North Lindsey for three years actually settling at Torksey before heading for home. In 933 A.D. the Danes swept the whole country from Durham to Lindsey. In 1013 the King of Den-mark, Sweyn, devastated North Lindsey and landed at Gainsborough where he assumed the title of King. In 1014 he died and was succeeded by Canute, his son. However, Ethelred, the Saxon king returned with an army and tried to drive out the Danes. After a number of battles, Canute became King of England as well as Denmark. Danish settlement and integration was taking place through-out this period. The Danish Kings ruled England until 1042 when a Saxon was elected. After the Norman Conquest, in 1068, the King of Denmark brought a fleet and army across to form an alli-ance with the Saxons to try to drive out the Normans. The Danish fleet anchored at the confluence of the Ouse and Trent off Adlingfleet. Its name derived from Edgar Atheling, Saxon heir to the throne. The camp was in a superb defensive position with the Ouse to the North. Trent to the East and the Don meandering to the South. The Danish fleet had control of the waterways. However, William the Conqueror offered the Danes a vast bribe and they left without fighting.
The Isle of Axholme provides a number of Scandinavian and Danish place names. For example, a name ending in – ‘by’ Keadby (- by meaning village). Other examples are; - ‘thorpe’ - Garthorpe, Althorpe, Derrythorpe and Gunthorpe (thorpe meaning hamlet). Gunthorpe also means (hamlet of reeds). Lastly – ‘toft’ - Santoft, Beltoft, and Eastoft (-toft meaning homestead).

Dining Out Locally at The Mowbray Arms „Since Lou and Diane Dennis have arrived at The Mowbray Arms in Epworth, they have
created a nice homely welcoming feel for the visitor to their beamed restaurant area.
The furnishings are pleasant with comfortable seating for 40 plus
Having eaten there twice recently, their Sunday lunch is delightful, I report complete
satisfaction. The visitor is provided with a choice of two main courses with desserts to
follow. The service is very friendly combined with generous portions of meat and four
vegetables for the main course. I and my guests savoured the most tender beef, with
Yorkshire pudding of course! To follow I sampled Diane's delicious apple pie with
custard.
The restaurant is open both during daytimes and evenings, except Monday and
Tuesday lunchtimes. In the sizeable bar area, the beer Lou serves is good and reasonable, moderately priced in a most convivial atmosphere. Outside there is a
sunny seating area facing west coupled with an adjoining large car park.
An ideal venue for you and your friends to dine informally at a very reasonable cost, we
will be going back!
If you haven't been yet, why not give the Mowbray a try!

Now & Then – Then & Now No 12 by Anthony Catherall
This month and every month; see Epworth in by gone days and compare to today‘s images!
The Mowbray Arms named after the Mowbray family in the Isle, above March 1995 with the extension
to the bars underway. The exterior has changed in 2009 following a complete freshen-up. New tenants
Lou and Diane Dennis took over in late summer. .
The Mowbray Arms was always popular with the top end of Epworth, some other tenants were Alf
& Gertie Newton in the 1930‘s, Ethel Davies in the 1960‘s and for about 30 years Bill Burton and his
family stretching into the middle nineties.
Below, the Mowbray as it is today, with an added lamppost. Now gaining customers once more as a
local house. I can recommend the Sunday lunches. They are superb, served in a friendly welcoming
atmosphere, in an appealing separate beamed restaurant tastefully decorated.
Go and sample Diane‘s signature home cooked main courses and delicious sweets.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice News Letter
Lindsey Lodge Hospice cares for people whose lives are affected by life-limiting conditions such
as cancer, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, heart or renal failure. Lindsey Lodge Hospice
is an independent registered charity, number 702871, situated on Burringham Road, Scunthorpe and
serves the community of the North Lincolnshire area.
Drivers needed to provide occasional lifts to the Hospice. Every second Saturday in the month,
between 10.30 – 1.30pm we run bereavement groups for the loved ones of all patients cared for
during their final days. Some people are unable to get to these groups, perhaps because they live in
an outlying village with an infrequent bus service or have no transport of their own. If you are able
to help every now and again we‘d like to hear from you. For further information please ring 01724
270835 and talk to either Alison Tindall or Chris Dyer.
Donations needed to our Hospice Shop on the High Street in Epworth. You can now help us
make and extra 28% on the sale value of donated goods. We are now able to claim Gift Aid on
goods donated by UK tax payers. Ask in the shop for information.
Watch out around Epworth and the villages for news of our Isle Supporter Group activities.

Though I have no involvement whatsoever with it, I am
told that Horseracing is in crisis. A crisis because of a series of
reasons, with the public having found other ways of betting, because horseracing
is seen as a 'toffs' sport, a decline in television coverage, and because many of the
races apparently are run at unusual unpopular times of the day and have no story
or profile to recommend them. The strategy being considered by the horseracing
industry is known as /PREMIERISATION/. By this they mean to popularise and
give first rate publicity to their main stories. Premierisation in the same way that
football has created a super league of excellence-well at least that is the theory.
For many the church is seen to be in crisis to--for some it has lost its story, for
some the churches and chapels are far from the best examples they would look to see for many and var-
ied reasons, and for some it is an activity for others, if not a 'toffs' occupation, at least not for them. Oth-
ers comment upon inappropriate service times! The 8,30 race at Wincanton being as unpopular as the
8.00 service at Owston Ferry!
Easter is the opportunity to underline the PREMIERISATION of what we believe, for this is God's
story, and subsequently our story, Jesus betrayed, tortured and dying on a cross, but to rise again. This
not for a few but for all people in all places and all times, and though our worship often falls short of what
we might hope it would be, it should always be the very best we can offer.
PREMIERISATION is not altogether a pleasing word, a contemporary word creation to define an idea.
But in our understanding of faith Christians locally and across the world will be seeking to make Good
Friday and Easter the first, the best and the most told story of their faith.
Rev David Leese Wesley Manse Epworth.

National Stop Snoring Week
19 - 24 April 2010
"It's not me it's the house that's causing my snoring"
This year during National Stop Snoring Week you will be able to visit our unique interactive house
where you will be taken through every room to discover just how many of our most innocent posses-sions can be the cause of snoring. National Stop Snoring Week is fast approaching and
this year we will be discussing how items in the home can lead people to snore. We may think the bedroom is the worst culprit with
house dust mites running rampant within our mat-tresses, quilts and pillows. But in a typical home there are sources in every room that have the potential to
cause snoring. Recent research has even cited our
pets as a cause of snoring.
In addition to our interactive house there will be
plenty of giveaways, competitions and offers available on our website throughout the week. Visit our website for more details
www.britishsnoring.co.uk/nssw2010/.

HAXEY PRE-SCHOOL CONTINUES TO GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
Although the weather continues to chill us, it hasn't certainly
hasn‘t hindered Haxey Pre-school‘s drive to improve their facilities! They have recently
been successful in obtaining £7000 worth of resources through the "Early Excellence in Outdoor Play Scheme" and
are also celebrating the gaining of lottery funding of £6554 which is being used to enhance and develop their Seaside
multi function room and the Reflection/Story corner. The inside equipment has been replaced and many new toys
and books have been purchased. The outdoor area is now almost complete thanks to another grant from North
Lincolnshire Council. ― I can‘t believe how much the setting has improved‖ said Tina Berry, Mother to Andrew aged
3 ―I know the staff are all outstanding, as is the Ofsted grade but I have great difficulty in getting Andrew to come
home now, he wants to stay and play with all the new toys!‖
The fundraising continues with their annual Easter Eggstravaganza on Wednesday 31st March. The children will sing a
few songs to celebrate springtime followed by lots of fun activities for all! You are welcome to visit Joy Norouzi and
her dedicated team at anytime. The Pre-school is open Monday – Friday 9.15am - 3.15am and caters for children
from 2.5 years to school starting age.

Epworth Primary School News World Book Day
All the school recently took part in World Book day on Thursday 4th February by dressing up as a favourite book character.
We had characters from many well loved children‘s books, Pirates and Princesses, Dragons and
Werewolves and Cheerleaders and Soldiers. Many classic characters made an appearance including
Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella as well as more modern favourites such as the
Hungry Caterpillar and Harry Potter.
Even the teachers joined in the fun dressing up as a range of Mr. Men characters to entertain the
children.
The children also took part in different activities during the day to promote a love of books and
reading. They wrote character descriptions and drew posters. In the afternoon the teachers
swopped classes to read the children stories and we finished with an Assembly to show everyone‘s
costumes.
A very enjoyable day was had by all.
Best wishes John Hodgkins Headteacher

Two senior members of Axholme Camera Club have been awarded
Honorary Life Membership, much to their surprise. Cliff Espin -Bradley and John Roberts have
both been members for over thirty years, and have served the club as Chairmen and committee members
at various times. " We have been friends throughout, " said John, " and remember when the club was down
to a handful of members. It is lovely to have seen it grow again, into the successful club we have today."
Both John and Cliff are still active members of the club, attending meetings regularly and entering competi-
tions.|This continuing enthusiasm for photography is a wonderful achievment, especially as Cliff recently
celebrated his eightieth birthday . Both have embraced the digital age and use the new technology to great
effect, often producing award winning images.
The annual Photographer of the Year Competition, sponsored by Tom Dennis Imaging of Scunthorpe, was
well supported with over sixty entries. Judge Erica Oram from Sheffield, had a difficult task. She studied all
the photographs in the competition, and commented on each one, giving helpful advice where she felt it
would be of use, before short-listing ten, which turned out to be fourteen, so high was the overall standard
of work. From these she eventually selected her top three, with the winner being Jean Goodburn's beautiful
study of a long tailed tit. Jean was presented with the Tom Dennis Imaging Trophy and one of three prizes
donated by member Alan Townsend. Alan then went on to win second and third prizes!
Previoiusly, Alan Townsend had given a talk to members, 'Film to Digital', in which he shared some of his
earliest images, taken on film and processed in the darkroom, alongside his more recent digital work, com-
paring the different techniques and results. It was a very interesting and informative talk as well as an oppor-
tunity to see more of Alan's terrific work. The format was far better than some of visiting speakers who
give similar talks, and it is good to know we have such talent in the club.
Best Wishes Lynda Photos by David Ulyett

Dear Readers,
Motorways are our safest roads, mainly because everyone is driving in the same direction and there, are
no traffic lights, roundabouts, or pedestrians. But motorway driving can be monotonous and if you let
your mind to wander, the risks can escalate sharply.
Follow these simple guidelines and your motorway driving should be safe and less tiring.
When joining a motorway, assess the traffic by glancing over your shoulder to check the blind spots and
consider a right turn signal before you move onto the motorway.
Traffic already on the motorway has priority. Use the slip road to accelerate to a speed that matches the
flow in the left-hand lane.
Remember the two essential rules of motorway driving: maintain a safe following distance (two seconds
between you and the vehicle in front is the minimum safety gap) and exercise good lane discipline.
Traffic on motorways usually travels faster than on other roads, so you have less time to react. Look
much further ahead than usual and use your mirrors early and regularly.
Take extra care when overtaking large goods vehicles in heavy rain or high crosswinds.
Always signal in good time before you change lanes and remember, a signal is an indication of an intention,
it doesn‘t give the right to carry out the manoeuvre unless it's safe. Remember, it's Mirror, Signal,
Manoeuvre.
Only overtake only on the right, unless traffic is moving more slowly in queues on your right. In these
circumstances you can overtake on the left to keep up with the traffic in your lane.
Tiredness or stress affects your ability to concentrate. Take a twenty-minute break from
driving every two hours, even if you don‘t feel tired. Some exercise and light refreshments during the
break can help too.
If you break down, stop on the hard shoulder and use the nearest emergency telephone to
contact the Police Motorway Control. Don't stop on
the hard shoulder unless it's an
emergency.
Move to the left-hand lane in good time when
preparing to leave a motorway. Be careful not to
underestimate your speed when approaching the end
of an exit slip road. Check your speedometer as you
leave the motorway to ensure that you have slowed
down sufficiently.
If you are interested in further information regarding
the courses that we offer you will be able to find this
information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists
website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel:020 8996 9600

It‟s been a great winter at Coneygarth Farm with all the children loving the
snow. Now that spring is on its way the children have lots of things to look forward to, we are
having a new play area built and a living willow den which the children will help make. The veg
garden is being prepared and we will be buying some more chickens. The lambs are arriving and we
will be out on the farm watching them being born. As you can see it‘s a great place for the children
to learn and play.

Farming in the isle at Harvester farm, Epworth Be prepared and the lull before the storm! These are the 2 sayings that have been going around
our house for the last 2 weeks; this is due to the build up to lambing at the end of the month.
Getting prepared involves finding the hot water bottles with the fur-fabric covers, gathering up
some good card-broad boxes, making sure that all the feeding bottles and teats are functional,
that we plenty of dried lambs milk, building the orphan pens and that just the list for the
unborn lambs! The ewes need nearly as much special attention perhaps not as intensive but
lots of checking over these last weeks ensuring that they have good grass and water, that they
don‘t get stuck on their backs and that generally they are stress free. Over the next week we
will be putting some round straw bales into the field so that they have a little more protection
against the elements when
lambing and also it gives the
ewes somewhere to put
their lambs once they are
born.
This is a very busy time for
us with lots of high and
lows – never knowing what
nature will throw at us –
this will be our 2nd lambing
so we are still novices and
are gaining experience all
the time.
The cattle are looking
forward to going out and
there is definitely a feeling
of spring fever especially
amongst the younger
members of the herd. We
have had another 4 calves
born this month – all
heifers, that have
developed a passion for
Wellington boots!- this
makes walking through
their pen an absolute
nightmare if you don‘t
want to fall flat on your
face!

“MRS MARKHAM” CAUSES MAYHEM Members of Haxey Amateur Dramatic Society (HADS) are rehearsing busily to put on another feast
of entertainment. The play this time is ―Move Over Mrs Markham‖ by Ray Cooney and John Chap-
man. Audiences over many years have enjoyed the Society‘s farce performances & this one looks
like another winner. Producer, Ann Booth, says this is one of the best scripts she has worked on &
is confident the cast will do it justice.
The action is set in the smart London flat of Philip & Joanna Markham. The flat is above the offices of
Lodge & Markham, publishers of children‘s books. You might think such a respectable business
would be run by wholly respectable people. How wrong can you be? Henry Lodge & his wife Linda
are both looking to satisfy their considerable appetites with extra-marital affairs. Henry‘s prospective mistress is the beguiling Miss Wilkinson, whilst Linda is attempting to woo the less beguiling Walter
Pangbourne. Meanwhile, Alistair Spenlow, interior decorator for the Markhams & a man whose pref-
erences are easy to mis-read, is doing his level best to seduce Sylvie, the Markham‘s gorgeous Swiss
au pair. Philip & Joanna‘s marriage seems to have lost some sparkle & they too are drawn perilously
close to straying from the straight and narrow. Enter the prim & proper Olive Harriet Smythe,
highly successful, ultra-respectable children‘s authoress. This could be the big opportunity which
Lodge & Markham needs to break in to big-time publishing, but it is essential that Miss Smythe be-
lieves she will be dealing with a firm of the utmost integrity & propriety. Thus the scene is set for
lots of high speed action, complicated deceptions, & hilarious shenanigans. All the ingredients are
here to ensure you will have a riotous evening.
The cast includes well known HADS members (Jeremy Cooper, John Spittlehouse, Joan Young,
Diane Corbett, Celia Boardman, Trevor Bland, Peter Lindley) as well as Lindsey Yeardley, making
her 2nd appearance as the delectable Miss Wilkinson, & Emma Speers, in her debut with the group
as the simmering Sylvie.
For a really good evening‟s entertainment, make sure you catch this hilarious show.
The performances are at 7.30pm on Friday & Saturday 16th & 17th April & on Friday &
Saturday 23rd & 24th April in Haxey Memorial Hall. Tickets (£4) are on sale from
9.00am-5.00pm at Green Hill Stores, Haxey, courtesy of Bev and Greg Suszczenia.

Belton Primary Newsletter
World Book Day
On Thursday 4th March we celebrated ‗World Book Day‘. Children
throughout the school took part in different activities. Some children
brought in their favourite books, made book marks, wrote character
profiles and book reviews. All the staff chose their favourite children‘s
book and pupils had to guess which teacher it belonged to! We extended
our celebrations into Friday, when the older children moved classrooms to
share books with younger children in Key Stage one and nursery. They all
had an enjoyable afternoon!
Sports Festivals
Every term different year groups take part in sports festivals with other
schools in the Isle of Axholme.
Wake and Shake
In March two teams of children took part in a Wake and Shake festival held
at Westwoodside Primary School. We took a key stage one team and a
key stage two team and competed against other schools in the Isle. Our
Key stage one team were awarded a certificate for the most ‗creative‘
performance, and Key Stage two for the most ‗energetic‘ performance! It
was a fantastic morning, all the children had a great time.
Football
We have a football festival approaching at South Axholme School for our newly formed football team. They are currently in training and raring to go!
We will let you know how they get on. Good luck to them!
