Welcome to the October edition of TICKHILL TODAYTICKHILL TODAY.

How the months are flying by this year, already leaves are starting to fall from the trees and the days are getting so much shorter. I’m still wearing my favourite Fitflops but I think that the time has come to put them away and get out my winter boots!

I think that this issue is a Christmas free zone, however next month is sure to be full of Christmas themed adverts. The November and December magazines are always very popular so don’t leave it too late to contact me if you would like to book an advert in either edition. The November edition will be delivered from 30th October. Please ensure that any-thing that you would like to be included in it is with me by Friday 15th October.

Best Wishes, Paula

Tickhill Library, Space Hop & A Big Thank You

Once again this year Tickhill Library has participated in the UK’s biggest reading event for chil-dren, the Summer Reading Challenge. For 2010, the Challenge is called Space Hop.

The aim is for children to read six books from their library during the summer holidays. The chal-lenge is designed for children of all ages and reading abilities. They can read and books they like - fact books, stories, joke books, picture books - its up to them. Audio books count too! If they are borrowed from the library they all count.

It is an interactive experience that children love to take part in. It gets them into libraries and gives them the confidence they need to choose their own books and take their reading to the next stage. For any children, the Summer Reading Challenge is jus the incentive they need to turn them into readers for life.

This year over 60 children in Tickhill have completed the challenge and they will be presented with their medals and certificates, by Sandra Heath, the Reading Development manager. At the presentation ceremony in the Library on Monday 11th October at 4pm.

This will be an ideal opportunity for the children to try out the new sofas and pouffes, purchased especially for the children’s area with donations from the Tickhill and District Lions and Phil Swales and his Notice Board. A huge thank you to both, the new furniture has created a com-fortable & relaxing reading area that the children can call their very own.

Tickhill Horticultural Society The 23rd Annual Show on September 11th was opened by Mrs Debbie John-Lewis, manager of the DMBC Neighbourhood Team, who also presented the trophies later in the afternoon.

With the Methodist church beautifully decorated for the Harvest Festival the needlework's group’s display was a picture. The range of work was such high quality that the judge had some difficult decisions to make. Similarly the photography and art classes filled a room with entries of excellent quality. The main hall was filled with flowers, vegetables, baking, preserves and the entries in the children’s section. Whilst in some classes there were fewer entries than last year, the overall standards were very high, and the judges complimented the quality

Overall an excellent event which contributes to a superb Harvest Festival weekend for the Meth-odist church, providing a great opportunity to meet the charismatic and energetic new Minister, John Hartley.

Our next meeting will be a members evening on Thursday the 28th October in the Methodist Schoolroom at 7.15pm Mrs Debbie John-Lewis will be back to present the trophies again after engraving. Debbie will have other members of her Neighbourhood Team with her to discuss the teams activities and plans . The evening will also include a question and answer session, a quiz and refreshments.

TICKHILL RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION

Planning policy may seem a matter of little interest until an unwelcome development comes on your doorstep, by which time it may be too late! Thus the latest consultation on Doncaster’s Local Development Core Strategy – the centre piece of a pile of documents to replace the current Unitary Development Plan – does matter to every one of us. Don’t miss your opportunity to comment.

Where Tickhill is concerned directly, it will probably satisfy most readers. It designates Tickhill as a ‘conservation town’, allowing only ‘modest development’ within the limits of the settlement. The Green Belt around us remains intact. So far, so good.

However, there are other issues which are of inter-est, if not of concern. The Coalition Government has abolished the Regional Spatial Strategies, which means at least one positive in that the unrealistic housing targets imposed by Government Office on Doncaster (and everywhere else) have gone and we can determine what is needed for ourselves. How the Borough Council will decide this is being discussed. I am far from happy about the way the Green Belt is addressed within the Core Strategy, in that it qualifies the exceptional circumstances for Green Belt development laid down nationally with “including the need to achieve the Growth and Regeneration Strategy” – which suggests that, if Doncaster wants to build in the Green Belt, it will ignore what is supposed to be protected. Also the ridiculous anomaly of having half a Green Belt (there is none to the east of the East Coast main line railway) is continued, regardless of the pressure from many individuals and organisations to extend protection to all our countryside after necessary allocations have been made for housing and employment. I know too that there are anxieties in some quarters about development in areas liable to flood, which climate change makes more significant.

There is one wider criticism which I have of the document and that is its constant emphasis on Robin Hood Airport and the access road to it as though this was the only part of the borough which matters and the only potential source of new employment. It would be much healthier if there were a balanced promotion of the regeneration of Doncaster town centre, where there is plenty of opportunity, and of the other parts of the borough whose need is much greater than the prosperous south-eastern fringe.

Students gain outstanding results at all levels

The school has improved its results in every category, with our highest ever percentage of students gaining 5 A* ‐ Cs including English and Maths, 48%, an increase of 11%.

This represents an 18% increase in two years. Furthermore, 67% of students have achieved 5 A* ‐ C overall, again an improvement of 10% on last year’s results. 99% of our students have left Year 11 with a qualification.

This year, several Year 10 and 11 students have successfully completed AS courses in English Literature, Information Technology, Mathematics and Music. All achieved passes and there was particular success in Mathematics with 4 students gaining a grade A and 2 students a grade B, an outstanding achievement.

We are very pleased that the hard work and commitment of both students and staff have resulted in a 97% pass rate at A level this year. There were many individual success stories and the Year 13 students have chosen a variety of pathways to follow from starting their careers in the workplace to continuing into higher education. We are very proud of their achievements at Sir Thomas Wharton Community College and we wish them every success in their future careers.

Phytotherapy/Herbal Medicine

Phytotherapy is the correct name for herbal medicine, and refers to medicine made with plants as the primary ingredient. Using plants to treat illness is one of the oldest forms of therapy and is still used in many places, as the primary form of health care.

Whilst the UK is still dragging its heels in recognizing the many benefits of herbal medicine, in other European countries, it is a very normal part of treatment and a quick look through the average family medicine chest will reveal herbal products for everything from the common cold to first aid.

Although herbal remedies are safe and effective, it is imperative that you know exactly how to use them. Most can be safely taken alongside regular medicines however there are those that will interact or be totally unsuitable for certain individuals, so all care should be taken and self- medicating (often with nothing more than a little internet research) should be avoided just as with regular medicine. Get professional advice!

A qualified phytotherapist trains for years to know what herbal treatments are appropriate for which conditions, and for whom they are best used.

Vanessa Kramer at our in-clinic phyto-pharmacy at the Alexandra Clinic offers advice and free 10 minute appointments. This ensures that you will receive the correct remedy and that you are safe using it. She can also safely recommend the correct doses for children, who should not be given a normal adult dose of herbal medicines. She can also make some customized items such as creams and flower remedies. Come along and see how herbal medicine can improve you health.

Land’s End To John O’Groats in aid of Cancer Research UK

On August 24th 2010 I set off from my home in Tickhill to get ready for a 10 day charity cycle ride supporting Cancer Research UK between Lands End and John O’Groats. Along the way I was to be joined by cycling friends for parts of the journey, and take a route which would take me back through Tickhill and up the east coast rather than the traditional west coast route. One of those was another Tickhill Resident, Graeme Swain who cycled from Bristol back to Tickhill with me where we were encour-aged along by lots of flag waving and cheering!

I arrived in John O’Groats on 3rd September, and encouraged by seeing other cyclists, made it to John O’Groats for 5pm, nervously coming down the hill towards the port in case I didn’t find the ‘John O’Groats’ official sign post and had to go back up another hill!

It was an incredible journey, and one that has so far raised £1080 for Cancer Research.

Thank you to everyone who supported me, through my training and the ride itself

and of course to those who have sponsored me. My sponsorship page remains open, so if you would like to add to my total of £1080 please visit - http://www.justgiving.com/bpmlejog2010

Mayflower Animal Sanctuary. Narrow Lane Bawtry Doncaster

It is a good feeling knowing that we have re homed so many cats and dogs this year, and so many wonderful people have made this possible. But the list goes on, we re home one dog and there are two or even three to take its place. We hate to think what would happen to all these lovely dogs and cats if it wasn't for Sanctuaries like ours throughout the country.

Good news on Bella our Mayflower Star, she has at last found the loving home we all hoped would come her way. She is packing her bag and saying goodbye to everyone that has cared for her and loved her while she has been with us. Hopefully her new owners will keep us well informed of her progress and we will look forward to seeing her looking proud and happy.

A dog that needs our help at the moment is Doug, he is a Pointer that has been involved in a road traffic accident that has left him with a badly disfigured face and blind in one eye. He is a young dog, he is a pleasant happy boy that loves to play and is good with other dogs. If you are calling at the Sanctuary please ask to see him, it is really heart-warming to see how animals cope with a disability.

The dog warden brought Kylie to us. She is a Staffy cross and still a puppy around 5 months old. This puppy is so depressed she wont lift her head up from her bed. She has one of the worst cases of flea allergy's that we have seen. She will need specialist medication and treatment for quite some time but we hope she will make a full recovery.

The dog warden has also brought us a litter of day old puppies with their mum who is a cross breed, at least she is safe now and has the opportunity of rearing her little ones in a loving environment.

Ellie is a small collie cross around three and a half years old, she is good with other dogs and children, but always seems to get over looked when we have visitors . Please ask to see her if you are looking for that special pet.

We still have lots of beautiful cats and kittens ready for adop-tion . We are also looking for a foster home for an elderly cat, she has health issues which we will continue to provide for. She is ten years old and is a pretty Calico colour. Can you help give her a loving home and a warm bed, that is all she will ask for.

The next fund raiser we are looking forward to is our annual sponsored dog walk in Bawtry forest. Everyone is welcome. If you need any sponsor forms please give us a call . Please come along and support us, this is a beautiful forest and a won-derful way to spend a Sunday morning . So put the 10th Octo-ber in your diary and join us to make this another successful fund raiser.

In the next few weeks we will be re organising our charity shop in Manton, so if you are looking for that Christmas gift that wont break the bank come along and have a browse . Our volunteers will be pleased to see you. If you have any really good quality items or unwanted gifts please donate them to our shop we will be very grateful.

Please call the Sanctuary on 01302 711330 or Mags 07969 203206 if you would like any further information about our Sanctuary Our new website is up and running. You will find us at www.mayflowersanctuary.co.uk.

Tickhill and Bawtry Probus Club

Such is the power of the Press! Since we started putting quarterly articles in the Tickhill and Bawtry Today magazines our membership has increased by 17.46%. Quoting such a useless figure probably tells you that by profession I was either an engineer or a politician (engineer actually) but it also means that our membership has increased to 74 and that its slow decline over recent years has been reversed. Thank you, Paula for providing the means whereby we can publicise our activities. We still have room for a few more members so if you feel that as a retired professional or businessman you would like to join us please come along to the Millstone Hotel on the 2nd or 4th Thursday of each month and see if you like what you find.

Our programme for the next three months is as follows: 14th October. “Magic Mushrooms” by Dr P Harding. 28th October. “Laughton and District - Steeped in History” by Roy Newman 11th November. “Remembering” by Members. 25th November. Members Annual Dinner 9th December. “The Sweet Fifties” by Mr T. Dixon 23rd December. “Vestas” by David Woodall. All meetings are held at the Millstone Hotel and with the exception of the Members Annual Dinner meetings start at 10.30 AM with coffee served from 10.00 AM. We look forward to seeing you all.

Estfeld at Tickhill Horticultural Show

This year more pupils than ever entered some of their work at the annual Horticultural Show.

It is a wonderful community event and it was lovely to see all of the entries on display.

Pictured are those pupils who won a prize in the class that they entered. Many more of our pupils entered and we were all very proud of their efforts. Well done to everybody. We were also delighted to have won the Schools Trophy for the first time – it was a real team effort!

A special mention must also go to Phoebe McCoy-Nesham who was awarded most points in the children’s section. Congratulations to Phoebe. (pictured below).

Also pictured with our youngest pupils is Mrs Karen Booker, who won both the white and the brown bread-making classes. Well done, Mrs Booker.

Our thanks to Ray Hill and his team for organising the event and for their help in transporting our rather large vegetable box to and from the Methodist Church.

Tickhill St Mary’s C of E Primary and Nursery School The PTA have been working hard over the last few years to raise money to support the development of the unused playground area. Fund raising events such as the Duck Race and Christmas fairs have all contributed. The school is grateful to all parents past & present who have contributed to this project.

Although it has been a long time coming to fruition we are all delighted that the school garden is now well under way and as we await the planting of the grass we are already looking at further developments which includes the planting of a large amount of purple crocus bulbs donated by St Leger Rotary club as a reminder of how successfully polio has been eradicated in most parts of the world over the years. When children are immunised their finger is dipped in a purple dye to show that they have been immunised. This is the reason for the colour purple and we think they will look stunning in our new garden.

Who has what secrets at the Hotel Nova Paradise? Find out when the Village Players (Everton) proudly present their next produc-tion, the comedy Let’s Pre-tend, first performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough in 1995. The hotel Nova Paradise has seen better days and so have some of its long stay British resi-dents, who, it emerges, are escaping more than the UK weather. Things go awry when the arrival of a young couple booked into the hotel by mistake coincides with a near riot by the hotel staff as harassed holiday rep Karen struggles to keep both order and her job. Layers of deceit are peeled away with increasing speed as se-crets are revealed, leaving everyone exposed to the dangers of pretence and deception. Described by The Stage as “a superb evening of riotous enter-tainment”, Let’s Pretend balances comedy, at times bordering on farce, and pathos, leaving the audience in suspense until the very end. Performances will take place in Everton Village Hall from Wednesday 27th to Saturday 30th October. Tickets, which are priced at £5 (£4 for students) can be obtained from their Box Office (01777 817275), or web site: www.evplayers.org.uk.

TICKHILL BROWNIES

Our Centenary year is now drawing to its close in October. We have had a packed year, the highlight of which was attending the FUSION event at Harewood House in August with a sleepover for 8 of the girls after. Nothing could have prepared us for this event. The day started in drizzle, but this did not dampen anyone’s spirits, we arrived at 10.30am and were immediately thrown into the fun, there were grannies on shopping trolleys waving their umbrellas and tearing up and down in front of the house, there were singing vegetables, circus acts with hoola hoops, tight rope walkers, a beach with as much sand as you could wish for, complete with deck chairs for weary adults, the list went on and on. The den making in the woods was a big hit with all the girls. The finale was spectacular with acrobats hanging from balloons. We had all been asked to take a piece of pink material which we waved enthusiasti-cally at the end of the day, 30,000 pieces of ma-terial being waved in the air was a sight I, for one, will never forget.

After we had waved goodbye to most of the girls and adults, Katy and I with 8 of the girls went on to the Centenary Camp, where we had great fun putting up our tents and meeting girls from all over the world. The next day, it was a very weary bunch that made their way home by public transport, 3 buses and 1 train with a short stop for a MacDonalds in Leeds railway station. Girlguiding is all about giving the girls confidence and getting them to experience new things, this was certainly one of those times and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We are now settling into the new school year, some girls have left to go on to Girl Scouts or other things, and new ones have joined. As always if you would like to get involved all that is required is a sense of fun and the willingness to undergo a CRB check.

20th Doncaster Wadworth Rainbows

We have had a good start to the year, welcoming 3 new Rainbows to our Unit. We will shortly be enrolling these girls into our Unit and they are currently learning the words of their promise - 'I promise that I will do my best, to love my God and to be kind and helpful'.

A Centenary party is planned for Wednesday 20th October and many girls who are involved in Guiding from all over the Doncaster area will be joining each other to celebrate the Girlguid-ing UK Centenary year. This will be a fantastic opportunity for the girls to understand that they are part of a much wider family than that of their own Unit.

We will also be raising funds this year for the YWCA Doncaster Women's Centre and will be hosting a variety of fundraising events throughout the year to achieve as much money as we can to show our support for the Centre. One of the things in the pipe line is a Beach Party in October where we will charge an entrance fee and the Rainbows and Brownies will each bring a friend. The girls are very excited – so are we!

Anybody either wishing to join our Unit or volunteer with us should contact me on the number below.

Tickhill TARA

Our meeting on 25th August took on an autum-nal theme - as the issues mainly discussed were tree and hedge related. Some hedges and over hanging branches separating properties are extremely high and unnecessary - spoiling neighbours enjoyment of their gardens and light. The other problem – common at this time of year – are the fallen crab apples etc. making paths slippery. We had an amusing and informative discussion regarding these prob-lems. The leaves and fallen fruit etc. are a problem but as nature takes on its autumnal colours of russets, browns, yellows and greens I think it is one of the prettiest seasons Mother Nature gives us.

Our next meeting is Wednesday 27th October in Castle Close Communal Hall at 6.30 p.m. Why not pop down and join us. We are a friendly lot come along for a chat!

Patchwork Join with me to celebrate The wonders of St Mary’s Gate. This busy, linking, one-way street Is one that must be hard to beat. Its length is just a hundred paces But all along in several places Can be seen in random batches Over fifty tarmac patches, The calculations won’t defeat us, Average: one for each two metres! As well - as if the Council cares! - Are further holes that need repairs. Someone ought to take a look And check the Guinness Records book. St Mary’s Gate - I tell you now, No road is Holier than thou! Those few words of celebration Scarcely need much explanation But, I think you ought to know, Were penned eleven months ago. Though some holes may now be mended Other holes have just extended Simply getting deeper, wider, To upset a cycle rider; And, it hardly needs a mention, Threaten every car suspension. Surely it must be conceded A new top layer is what is needed.

Health News

It will soon be time to think about getting your annual Flu jab. If you are over 65, or have a chronic long term disease such as diabetes or heart failure, please check with your GP practice about their arrangements for flu vacs for the coming winter. Remember the flu vaccine cannot give you flu, but it will offer protection against the most common strains identified each year.

Speaking of chronic long term conditions, these should be monitored on a regular basis. Your GP practice will contact you for an annual review, or possibly more frequently, but if this doesn’t happen please contact them and ask for an appointment.

LOST YOUR CAT? In early July a dark striped tabby cat moved in with my cats. He is young, neutered and originally wore a red flea colour which later disappeared.

It has been confirmed that the cat is micro chipped and the registered owner in tickhill but contact telephone number does not take incoming calls this suggests that the telephone has been disconnected possibly because the owner has moved house or has sadly died. If you can associate a cat fitting this description with a person or property in Tickhill please telephone 01302 744564. N.B. This is not Archie the cat reported missing in the August issue.

Tickhill Scouts

All our sections – Beavers, cubs and scouts - are up and running. We are about to assess our membership numbers and then we can make the necessary decisions on which sections have spaces for youngsters to join. Nevertheless we have had several scouts go out with the Phoenix Ex-

plorers to take part in weaselling in the Peak District. This is not an animal hunt but a curious form of pleasure where you attempt to squeeze through impossi-bly small gaps between large boulders. A strange sort of pastime and would not suit anyone who suffers from claus-trophobia. Not satisfied with squeezing through gaps in the rocks they then proceeded to abseil into fresh air in pairs!! A good time was had by all and it served as an introduction to Explorer Scouting to some of our older scouts.

Over the next month the explorers have challenged the scouts to the Phoenix Challenge. The scouts form teams of 4 and attempt to follow a trail around Tickhill doing various challenges along the way. This will take place over a weekend and will be partially residential in the Scout & Guide HQ. The Beavers are taking part in a mini-Olympics shortly and we are hoping that they will come home with several gold medals. On 24th September both Scout troops will be going to Bawtry Paint Fields for a laser combat evening. This is one of those activities which is allowed in Scouting but paint balling is not. We look forward to many action photos of scouts being zapped by lasers as they return fire in the dark.

Our next fundraising activity will be a Jumble Sale on October 23rd in the Scout & Guide HQ at 12.00. If you have any jumble you are willing to donate, please bring it down to the HQ on the Saturday morning from 10.00. If you need a hand in transporting it please contact myself so that arrangements can be made to help you. The proceeds from this jumble sale will be used to help fund Alice, one of the explorers, who has been selected to represent Doncaster at the World Jamboree being held in Sweden next year. She has to raise £2000 to attend this event. Of course, it doesn’t cost £2000 for Alice to go but part of her fee also pays for a scout from a poorer country to attend. We are also holding a race night in November to add to the pot.

Over the past 6 months Phoenix Explorers have been raising funds for the Safe@Last homeless youngsters’ charity. The charity challenged the unit to raised £750. Currently, the fund stands at £650 and, with one more event, a sponsored sleep out at Parkgate Shopping Centre in Rother-ham should see this figure being achieved. The vast majority of this money was raised through sponsorship of the Explorer entry into Shennington Pedal Car Races. Once again, both the Jam-boree and this effort clearly shows that Scouting is not just about helping ourselves but helping others is also an important part of our ethos.

Tickhill Town Council Newsletter

The Audit of the Council’s finances is usually completed about this time of year and those for 2009/10 have just been finalised and the Certificate posted in the Town Notice Boards as required by law. At Tickhill the Responsible Financial Officer is the Clerk to the Council and for each monthly Council Meeting he prepares and distributes to all Councillors an up to date Statement of Receipts and Payments for the financial year to date. He also produces a list of payments due that month. which are compared by Councillors against the

budget estimates and, provided they are satisfied that payment is due, two of them sign the appropriate cheques. The Clerk ensures that there are always sufficient funds on the Council’s current account to meet the cheques with the balance of monies kept in interest bearing accounts with secure approved deposit takers.

The Councils’ finances are also monitored on a quarterly basis at a meeting of its Finance Committee whose own procedures plus the actual transaction books and bank information are scrutinized by an independent “internal” auditor at the year end before documents are sent to Government appointed Auditors for final certification.

A summary of Receipts and Payments for 2009/10 against budget with comparative figures for 2008/9 is shown on the next page. There were some significant changes in expenditure last year resulting from the decisions made to support the replacement of the Bawtry Road trees, the new Christmas lights and new Notice Boards at the Library. Payments was made by best use of the existing Reserves and the balances held in the General Fund. Additionally it was agreed to reduce the balance of the General Fund to one which merely covered income and expenditure in the forthcoming year and place the remainder in a Special Reserve to be drawn on when required for special unanticipated expenditure. The balances of all the Reserves at 31st March 2010 are shown at the foot of the right hand column.

Tickhill and District Local History Society

The 2010/11 Season is well and truly under way with two events to report on even before Tickhill Today goes to press. On Thursday 16th September our well attended AGM was followed by an amusing talk by Leo and Malcolm Leader on Rockingham Pottery. After giving a short history of the Swinton business itself (which at one time was bigger than Wedgewood) they concentrated on showing us examples of the fine porcelain made in the early 19th century. The Pottery had existed since 1745 and in 1802 was bought by the Brameld family who started to develop porcelain manufacture. Unfortunately they were better craftsmen than businessmen and the business only remained in existence thanks to loans from the Earls Fitzwilliam. By 1842 even they had had enough of the losses and the factory closed. Today many pieces of Rocking-ham porcelain are highly prized collector’s items.

On Saturday 18th September we exhibited at the Doncaster Local History Fair held at Doncaster Museum. Thank you to everybody who helped to prepare the stand and man it on the day. Our impression was that the number of visitors to the fair was lower than in previous years, if so that is a pity because the Societies who exhibited had much of interest on show.

A new Society publication “Treasures of Tickhill” is now on sale at Society meetings and at the KSM Card Gallery, Castlegate, price £3.99. This booklet which is well illustrated starts with a brief history of Tickhill and covers subjects such as the Castle, the Parish Room, the Mill Dam, Tickhill streets, Transport, Farming ,Schools, Sport, Holidays, War and Religion. There is also a family Quiz at the back with all the answers contained in the book. It is far from being an ex-haustive history but if you want a “fifteen minute guide” to the development of our town then this is the book for you.

Finally our next meeting will be on Thursday October 21st at 7.30 PM in the Methodist School-room when Roy Newman will be talking about “Saucy Seaside Postcards”. As usual we wel-come members and visitors alike.
