Editors letter... April surely is a
busy month, Mothers day, Easter and the
long awaited Royal Wedding between
Prince William and the very beautiful
Kate Middleton.
This does mean that we actually have about 3 days
to work which may be nice for some people, but a
bit of a nightmare to others who still need to fit a
months work into the few working days available!!
Ok, moan over, I will of course enjoy all three of
the above events and hope you do to.
If you have any stories you would like to share
with everyone in Sprotbrough, or have any events
planned locally, please send me the details before
the early deadline for the May issue, Friday 8th
April. The May issue will also be delivered slightly
later than normal from Thursday 28th April, but all
magazines should still be out by Monday 2nd May,

Happy Easter!

Inconsiderate parking
The number of inconsiderate parking complaints
to Doncaster Council has increased over the
last few months. The Council wishes to raise
awareness of the concerns of local residents in
the area with regards to drivers parking
inconsiderately and spoiling grass verges or obstructing the highway.
Where parking restrictions (yellow lines) have
been introduced, they have been done so for
reasons of road safety and where parking
problems have occurred, for example outside
local shops and schools.
Doncaster Council is working in partnership to
make your community cleaner, safer and
greener and would kindly remind all drivers to
follow the rules and guidance set out in the
Highway Code. Council staff will be out on
patrol to enforce any motorist caught parking in
breach of restrictions and will be issued with a
£70 penalty charge notice.
Sally Dean, Activities & Engagement Officer East Neighbourhood Support Team
THE M25 HOUSING AND
SUPPORT GROUP are very
pleased to announce that they have
recently been granted funding from
Doncaster Supporting People to establish
Nightstop within the Doncaster Region.
Doncaster Nightstop will offer vulnerable
young people who are homeless or at risk
of becoming homeless short term
accommodation in the homes of
volunteers. Accommodation is arranged
night by night whilst the young person is
helped to find a lasting solution to their
housing needs. Some young people only
need a night‘s breathing space whereas for
others it may lead on to a wide range of
accommodation options suitable to their
needs.
M25 are looking for volunteers who can
help us make a positive impact on the lives
of vulnerable young people. If you have a
spare room and time to listen and give
support to a young person who may be in
distress then we would like to hear from
you. We offer comprehensive training and
support and volunteers will be provided
with financial assistance to cover expenses.
Even if you can only spare one night a
month we still want to hear from you ý
that one night can make all the difference.
To find out more about Doncaster
Nightstop contact Iona Edwards on 01302

April ’s Beauty Quote Our hearts are drunk
with a beauty our eyes could never see.
~George W. Russell
Dear Reader,It has been brought to my attention many times over the years
that people have misconceptions about beauty salons - from what I can gather they think
they are 'pretty' and 'girly' and just about 'make-up' and 'nails'. I often hear: ' Oh! I
couldn't possibly have a manicure - my nails are a mess!' But surely - that's when you
need us???? Just a tidy up of the cuticles and removal of dead skin cells from the nail plate
can make nails look phenomenally better. So this month I thought I would consider the
benefits of visiting a salon and what to 'suss out' when you get there.
Firstly: why would you visit a beauty salon? It's not all about beautifying. Don't get me
wrong - that side can be lovely, and it is nice to have nails that look absolutely stunning
and a facial that makes your skin look healthy and youthful, but over the years salons have changed and have
become more paramedical, concentrating much more on overall well-being by introducing more clinic-type
treatments alongside the traditional pampering ones. Over the next few months I am going to cover these
specialised treatments and explain how they could benefit you. On a daily basis I hear: 'Oh! I didn't know
you could do that!' so educating everybody is going to be my mission!
Before you commence any treatment, though, do your research. It is important to make sure you can be
confident you are to be treated at a salon with a tradition of high professional standards. Are you routinely
asked to complete a consultation and consent form? Are there appropriate insurance certificates clearly on
display? Are strict hygiene procedures - for example, to equipment - applied in preparation for and during
your treatment. If the answer to any of these questions is not an emphatic ‗Yes!‘ then please beware – your
health and well-being could be at risk!!
Advanced Cosmetic Procedures are not commonly associated with beauty salons.
Here is a list of the skin disorders and blemishes that can be successfully treated:
Thread veins
Xanthoma
Blood spots
Age spots
Moles
Spider Naevi
Verrucae
Molluscum Contagiosum
Milia
Skin Tags
Common & Plantar warts
Seborrhoeic warts
Sebaceous Cysts
Syringoma
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Hairs in Moles
ACP treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in many cases. Length of treatment very
much depends on the problem and your skin specialist will advise you of this although it is difficult to state a
definitive time.
The area worked on must not be over treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing
technique and treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan as well as taking into ac-
count your requirements, needs and wishes.
Your skin specialist will be pleased to offer you a consultation and price estimate.
All of these treatments are available in Perfect Harmony and can be of a huge benefit to many people.

Laura Gilligan, 27 , originally from
Sprotbrough, Doncaster owns and runs
independent letting agency 3Keys Property
Ltd… We asked Laura to share the story of
her success in business so far….
I originally set up the business in 2006 when I was
on maternity leave from my job in recruitment, I
had always had a passion for property and wanting
a career change I began studying a home-learning
style package to gain an understanding re; the legal
side of lettings. Working from my spare room at
home I began canvassing landlords and slowly
developed a client base. By 2007 the business was
demanding more of my time, so I took on the
Rossington office and a member of staff to assist
me. I had my second daughter in 2008. In the past
3 years as well as raising 2 girls, the business has
steadily grown, I currently employ 4 staff members
and we have out-grown our Rossington office. As
such, I am very proud to announce as a result of
our continued success we will be opening a second
office, this will be more central, based at Town
End, Doncaster (on the old North Bridge). The
Rossington office will remain open. 3Keys
Property Ltd is an ARLA (Association of
Residential Lettings Agents) licensed agent,
working to the highest standards in the industry
we have a reputation for our hard work and
delivering results and continue to maintain
excellent relationships with our landlord clients
(please let me know if you would like a testimonial
from one of our landlords to add to the editorial?).
As a result of the expansion I am taking on 2
additional agents and an administrator to staff the
new office. Working full time and raising two
young children hasn‘t proved an easy task, but the
2 girls in my life who are my inspiration and who I
am doing this for, Sienna (4) & Faith (2) just make
everything worthwhile.
We will be running special offers to celebrate the
opening of our new office including reduced letting
fees for new clients and discounts for existing
landlords. We are also having an Open day on
Saturday 7th May 10am - 2pm, welcoming all
landlords both new and existing to call in for a
glass of bubbly and meet the staff for an informal
chat.
In the current climate with a lack of movement in
the sales market more and more people are
turning to letting their properties; an increased
number of property owners are finding themselves
becoming landlords as a means to achieve an
income on static empty properties. The problem
here is that many new landlords are inexperienced
in this field and often choose an agent without
really knowing what they should be looking for: as
ARLA members and because we subscribe to the
Property Ombudsman our clients can be assured
that our staff are trained / qualified to deal with
their (most often) valuable asset, their home.
What‘s more, many new landlords are unaware
that they could be breaching terms of their
mortgage by not using an appropriately qualified
agent. My advice to anyone thinking about letting
their property, would be do your research - lots of
new lettings agents are opening up, equally many
established estate agents are setting up a lettings
divisions, many under-cutting each offer by offering
excellent discounted rates which of course are
very appealing in the current economic climate
where we appreciate everybody is watching their
finances, however my closing though on this is the
wrong choice of agent at the outset could end up
costing you much more in the long run.

pay hundreds of pounds to experience it,‖ he
continues. ―Our bands not only sound like the real
thing, but also give such a good performance that
you may as well be watching the real band
themselves – the only difference with our festival is
that the beer prices stay the same!‖
Shane Crofts from Coldplace agrees: ―This will be
our fifth year touring with Fake Festivals and we
have seen it grow and grow. Each year it just gets
better and better – the crowds are bigger and the
atmosphere is always electric. It‘s a special gig for
us, each and every one we play.‖
This year though not only can you get to see
lookalike bands who sound amazing, but you may
just also get the chance to become a lookalike
yourself thanks to a competition run by the Fake
Faces agency.
To enter, simply make sure you‘re at the festival
before 2pm dressed as a lookalike, complete an
application form and have some photos taken. A
photographer will then choose the best entry and
the winner will not only be taken onto the agency‘s
books, but also grab themselves free drinks for the
rest of the festival.
―Matt Durkin found fame on Britain‘s Got talent
mimicking Harry Hill last year, thanks to Fake
Faces discovering him at a Fake Festival,‖ explains
Jez. ―Who knows who we‘ll find this year? One
thing‘s for sure, someone at each festival is going
to come to watch a tribute act and may well end
up leaving as one!‖

2011 FAKE FESTIVAL
TOUR SHAPING UP TO
BE EVEN BETTER THAN
THE REAL THING THIS
SUMMER
Fake Festivals is back at Sandall Park on
May 21st bigger and better than ever!
Thanks to the biggest Fake Festivals Tour to date
due to take place this summer, 2011 should see
more towns than ever throughout Lincolnshire,
Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, be able to
experience festival fever right on their doorstep.
With more dates and performances from some of
the best tribute bands in the world, it‘s the perfect
destination for your festival fix – enjoy all the
atmosphere of a festival minus the two hundred
mile round trip in a car buckling under camping
gear and monsoon friendly clothing!
Featuring celebrated acts from previous tours
including Coldplace, Antarctic Monkeys and
Oasish, it‘s a festival that can make a guarantee like
no other – the British weather can‘t ruin it!
Each one is held inside a marquee (no juggling with
your brolly and pint of lager whilst rain drips down
your nose here) with the bands taking to a main
stage boasting a state of the art sound and lighting
system. To capture that real festival vibe, there‘s
also a secured area with a variety of food stalls,
face painting and other activities such as surfing.
―With this year seeing extra Fake Festival dates
happening in Worksop, Otley, Barnsley,
Rotherham and Thorne, the 2011 tour‘s shaping up
to be the biggest and best yet,‖ explains Jez Lee,
founder of the event.
―The idea of Fake Festivals was always to bring that
authentic festival feeling to your home town
instead of having to travel hundreds of miles and

Doncaster Advanced Motorists
Speed and Acceleration
Dear readers,
Knowing when to use your car‘s power and when to take it easy are skills which every driver needs to
master. It isn‘t about driving around at a snails pace, its about using power and acceleration wisely,
smoothly and safely.
Power is nothing without control. This is true of all aspects of driving and a maxim the Advanced Driver
lives by.
A powerful sports car is at best wasted and at worst deadly in the hands of the amateurish or lazy driver.
Never abuse your car‘s power. Instead learn how the car delivers its power then use the experience to
make the most of it by driving as safely, smoothly, and as progressively as possible. Firm acceleration is
sometimes necessary –when joining a motorway or when overtaking for example but to make the best
use of your car‘s power band takes practice and an understanding of the way it delivers its torque (the
power that creates acceleration).
Being in the wrong gear at the wrong time can ‗bog‘ the engine down, restricting the car‘s acceleration
and possibly putting you in a hazardous situation. It‘s important to learn which part of the rev band deliv-
ers the most torque and acceleration. This will ensure you select the right gear for the conditions and the
job in hand.
Test your sense of deceleration.
Here‘s a useful way to test your sense of deceleration. The next time you‘re driving along the road at the
national speed limit and see a 30mph or 40mph speed limit sign ahead, try to time the point at which you
‗lift off‘ the accelerator so that the car reaches the
speed limit sign at the correct speed, without the
need to touch the brakes.
On twisty roads you can take this technique a stage
further by managing the speed of the car between the
bends with accurate use of the accelerator. This will
limit the amount of braking you need to do, produc-
ing a smoother, more satisfying drive.
With smooth road surfaces and powerful, quiet cars,
it can take serious concentration not to creep over
the speed limit.
Advanced Driving is not about driving slowly. A
driver who tootles along at 50mph on a busy motor-
way or a clear country road can be just as dangerous
and frustrating as a speed demon. The skilled Ad-
vanced Driver looks to make good progress when-
ever possible by carrying out well-timed overtakes;
with smooth, progressive controlled acceleration.
Remember just how difficult it would be to enjoy
your motoring without a driving licence!
If you are interested in the courses that we offer,
you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute
of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or
