‘Ne’er cast a clout till May be out’ English proverb

The origin of this saying dates back to the 18th century, its meanings however are less clear. The � rst part means simply ‘don’t discard your winter clothing’ but ‘till May be out’ has more than one interpretation! Some think it refers to the month of May, others believe it is the May blossom of the Hawthorne that we need to wait for.

Which ever version you prefer there haven’t been many opportunities to discard winter coats yet this year, and I

for one hope that May will bring with it the promise of warmer weather.

The June issue will be with you around the time of the Bank Holiday at the end of May, anything you would like included should be with me by Friday 10th May -

quite early this month due to the way the weeks fall, so don’t miss out.

Ups & downsbut still lots to play for!

as we approach the fi nal month of the season there is still lots to play for up on scrooby road. The season has had lots of ups and of course a few downs but in the main the club has had a good season and with a bit of luck may even fi nish with a trophy or two.

the club is striving to improve the facilities for spectators to come up and enjoy the Football and this summer is a big one for us, we have recently purchased a Canteen that will be situated in the Grounds of the 1st team pitch, this will be used as hospitality for offi cials and traveling spectators as well as our own. this is a big investment and we were delighted to purchase this from within the village also through Wintech, this has been funded by the numerous fundraisers we have had this year so all the hard work is being put back in. We hope to carry on and improve even further the grounds within our means, we really hope that the work done in the next few months will prove dividends for season 2013-2014.

First team at the time of writing we are still well posistioned to fi nish in the top 4 which would be such an acheivement. Unfortuantly the club

was beaten in the Northern section of the Floodlit Cup Final going down 2-0 at home to AFC mansfi eld, what gave everyone a boost was the support that the team had with well over 100 spectators. it shows that the backing is there and is down to us to keep them coming back, a big thanks to all who were present, we hope to go that bit further next season and get some well long awaited silverware

reserves go into the Final month with two semi-fi nals to compete in, one being the reserves league Cup in which they have defeated two teams in the league above, they know face radford again a league above but they have the quality so fi ngers crossed, the second is their league cup against Belper town reserves, currently top of the league, so we wish tony and the boys well and hope we can progress to the fi nals.

third team have nearly completed their fi rst season in a new league and with a near new team have held their own and will be looking to push on next term.

Under 19’s go into the fi nal month with outside chance of promotion to

Division 1 with the likes of matlock town, Buxton and Basford Utd in their league it would be some acheivement as nearly all of the teams in their league have senior sides leagues above ours, the lads will be the mainstay of the club for years to come so well done to all.

the Club will for the fi rst time in years will hold their presentation night with the Junior teams, we are trying our best to be a lot more inclusive and want all at the club to feel that they are a part of something. the Juniors are the future and with teams disappearing in the past few seasons it is vital that we build on what we have.T

is it really true that exercise can make you feel good?

answer: When you cycle, swim, run, or carry out any other form of endurance exercise, your pituitary gland releases substantial quantities of ‘endorphins’, chemicals which can block sensations of pain and produce overall feelings of euphoria.

do i need to go to the gym to exercise?

answer: the simple answer to this is No! Walking, riding your bike, playing football with the kids are all great forms of exercise that do not need to be performed in the gym. everyday household chores such as cleaning and gardening also work the body and are all forms of physical activity.

do i need to buy some weights to exercise at home?

answer: the simple answer again

is No! try using plastic bottles fi lled with water to make your own weights, or lifting a bag with books inside to provide resistance. tins of food can also be used as substitute weights, or why not use your own body weight to provide resistance. try doing exercises such as dips, squats, press ups, sit-ups, lunges at home, try walking or running up and down the stairs to give your thighs a good workout?

i am not able to take up a regular activity each week due to time/work constraints.

Can you suggest anything i could do to become more active?

look at ways you can be more active in your everyday life. For example, could you walk up the stairs at work rather than taking the lift? Could you go for a walk in your lunch break? Could you walk the kids to school? try and be active around the home hovering, and dusting are all forms of physical activity. Why not put on some music and ‘dance’ whilst doing your cleaning. T

THIS IS WHEN we look back on the highs and lows of our year. No organisation can operate without some disappointments, but hopefully some of our successes will more than make up for our failures. Due to the secretary and treasurer having been voted on to the h&B town Council they where not able to stand for the Committee. so we started our year with a new secretary, treasurer and vice Chair.

WE ARE VERY happy that we have increased our membership, although we have lost one or two members as well. overall there is a stronger feeling that members are now becoming involved in events, so that is a defi nite improvement. our thanks go too margaret and Frank renner, reg mann, Pat robertson, mary thompson, rosemary Cox, Karen murphy, Jane vernon, Janet Flynn and marilyn Knight for giving up their time to assist with events.

WE STILL HAVE issues with Dogs Fouling the streets, Children’s Play areas and Green open spaces; this may be one problem we may never resolve but we will continue to try. Cars parking on the pavements outside shops on scrooby road is a problem.

We have just had a day out in Much Wenlock, the small shropshire town, similar in many ways to Tickhill, and with its own poetry festival, now in its 3rd year, with Carol ann duff y (poet laureate) as its patron. The highlight of our trip was not the poetry or the performances we saw, but the general activity in the town, of people getting together to enjoy events and discuss the relative merits of what they had seen. The town was very busy (many, presumably like us from elsewhere), the tea- shops and pubs were heaving and business was brisk. This is what lies ahead for us with the fi rst T- Fest now looming in september. at Much Wenlock we paid proper ticket money for one evening event, more than the ticket price for a whole days worth of activities at T Fest, which is promising to be Yorkshire good value.

Cast in Doncaster will be opening its doors soon, the new performance venue on sir Nigel Gresley square. it’s called CAst as it is at the heart of Don-CAst-er….and punning aside, a new cultural venue in Doncaster is a welcome thing and with the opening of its doors i very much hope that there will be some exciting and innovative, diffi cult and demanding work shown in the town.

if you’re reading this you probably have an interest in gardening, but even armchair gardeners must be happy that spring is now well under way. May brings with it a wonderful selection of fl owers, mainly in cool blues, purples, pinks and whites, and some great fragrances too, including the heady scent of Lilac. it’s an old fashioned shrub which has fallen out of favour, and for the majority of the year it looks relatively uninteresting – but the Lilac bush smells fantastic in a gentle May evening breeze. Mix this aroma with the scent of freshly mown grass and you have the most perfect spring fragrance, better than any air-freshener.

After a long winter with more snow than i can ever remember, and yet more depressing news about our economy, i think what we all need is to enjoy a little nostalgia; i’m not talking bunting here, but bedding plants. towards the end of the month is the time when bedding plants and other tender perennials can be planted outside. thousands of people will fl ock to garden centres up and down the country over the coming weeks, and for some it’s their only pilgrimage of the year to the outdoor retail world. it’s an opportunity for the nurseryman (or woman) to display

row after row of highly colourful plants, stacked, tray by tray like jars of sweets in an old fashioned shop. each standing to attention, faces held high, their label pointing forwards and each doing their utmost to shout “buy me, buy me”. the fl owers shine in the sunshine like the sparkling boiled fruit sweets in the jars, oh what is it to be, the bi coloured rhubarb custards, or the combination of blackberry and raspberry jellies?

Choosing your colour scheme for this year’s bedding display (be that just the one hanging basket or a front garden that looks like a victorian public park) is exciting, and a totally personal task. i’ve know it can cause arguments between couples, but have also known marriages which have survived successfully on the basis that “you plant your side and i’ll plant mine”. there are those who like a multi coloured cocktail of plants (a mixed tray of Petunias for example), those who prefer to stick to a muted pallet of 2-3 ‘sophisticated colours’ (usually purple, blue and white) and then those trying to achieve a swiss

cottage look who mightplummet for just the one (perhaps a red trailing ivy leafed Pelargonium). But whatever your preference i don’t think it really matters, because buying annual bedding plants brings nostalgic happiness all round; it’s good for the nurseryman’s business, brilliant for passersby to enjoy, and most importantly great at making you feel happy at home.T

Until next time,happy gardening, Lee...

Hello everyone, this has been another really busy month for us with a heavy infl ux of cats and dogs, but fortunately it has also been busy with people adopting our residents. Before anyone takes one of our dogs home they attend a saturday morning induction meeting which usually lasts for about an hour and a half. This enables everyone to ask as many questions as they have time for and is especially helpful to new dog owners. our dog listeners are very knowledgeable and do a great job of making a new dog owners life a little easier.

i know i ask every month but we are really desperate for dog walkers. Come on everyone i am sure there are lots of people out there wanting to get fi t and help a charity at the same time.

We do what we can regarding fund raising and there are still tickets left for our latest fund raiser Wild West night at Ye old Belle at Barnby moor on the 8th June. tickets are £20 includes supper disco and a live band, Also raffl e and prize for best dressed, we need to make this evening a success as the money we hope to raise will help to keep our dogs and cats well fed and watered.

if anyone has any time on their hands and would like to involve themselves in fundraising please let us know, we always need help especially at our July dog show and sponsored dog walk at the end of the year. so please call us it anyone would like to become involved just call us on 01302 711330 or 07969 203206

We are open every day apart from Tues. our opening times are 2-4pm and 1-4pm at a weekend

Please come and see us, have a walk around our sanctuary we are very proud of the work we do and could not continue without the donations we receive. T

Please comeand choose me.

ThinkaheadTravelling abroad? – think vaccinations and think documentation required from your GP surgery!

Are you going overseas for your holidays this year?

if you are then please allow plenty of time for getting properly vaccinated and for any extra documentation required from your GP.

there are many places in europe where you can go safely without needing to be protected by vaccinations.

the general rule is that the further you are travelling and the more unusual the destination, the more likely you are to need vaccinations. many illnesses can be completely prevented or the risk of illness substantially reduced by effi cient vaccination.

You should allow at least 8 weeks to be prepared before travelling as some injections need to be given at intervals.

if you aren’t sure about the risks of the country you’re travelling to you can get advice from your GP practice or practice nurse.

other documentation such as letters or certifi cates for travel or to support an application could be required e.g:- • Reports and certifi cates requested

by patients e.g. to support an application for travel insurance or to allow liquid medication to be carried in hand luggage.

• Private prescriptionsif you need someone to produce

any of the above you may have to allow extra time of up to 8 weeks.

Also be aware that charges may apply for what are not Core Nhs services.

Need a letter or a form completed?the same is true for reports, testing

and examination requested by third parties e.g. insurance reports, DvlA, medico-legal work

Nottinghamshire County council’s trading standards team is asking friends, relatives and neighbours of vulnerable people to be on their guard after an elderly Newark man was duped into handing over cash to a doorstep conman claiming to be a Trading standards offi cer.

the man had been previously been targeted by rogue builders in 2009 and it is possible that the latest incident is linked. the conman told the resident that he needed £2,300 as the trader that had previously conned him was now in court and they needed the money to take the matter further.

Nottinghamshire Police have been informed and are investigating the incident. Nottinghamshire County council trading standards team never ask for payment from consumers and always carry identifi cation in the form of a warrant and identifi cation card, which has their photograph on it.

if a member of the public is approached by telephone or by cold call at the door by someone claiming to work for trading standards who asks for money as part of a refund or compensation for rogue trader problems, they should not pay any money or give any personal details.

You can confi rm if a Nottinghamshire County Council Trading standards offi cer is genuine by calling 01623 452005.if a member of public feels threatened or in danger they should call 999. T

The recent cold weather might have made spring a little late this year, but many of you will already have made a start on tidying up the garden after the ravages of the winter months.

Cleaning out the garden shed, dusting down the lawnmower and making preparations for the long days of summer we all hope are just around the corner.

But your garden shed can be a magnet for thieves so make sure you do not lead a thief up your garden path straight to your shed and its contents.

sheds can be an easy target, so stop and think how much it would cost to replace what is stored in yours or in your garage.

most thieves are opportunists – so if you toughen up on security in your shed or garage, an opportunist thief will usually move on.

First of all, keep your shed and garage locked at all times. most garages are fi tted with a lock, but the standard locks are very easy to open so fi t additional locks to keep a thief out. Fit at least one good lock to your shed – better still two – and use hasps where the screws are hidden so a thief can’t simply unscrew it and get into your shed.

if your garage or shed has a window, consider fi tting window bars or at least a fi t a curtain so a thief cannot see what is inside. they don’t break in for a look round – they break in because they can see something to steal.

mark your larger, more expensive tools with a permanent marker pen or a Cremark kit. it’s diffi cult for a thief to sell your lawnmower if it has your name and address written on it in large letters – and it will cut the grass just as well.

Chain larger items together – it makes them diffi cult to carry away – and then lock the ends of the chain to the wall or the fl oor. Put All your tools away everY night and then make sure your shed and garage are locked.

Fit an intruder alarm. they are very inexpensive, and make a real racket that will alarm you and your neighbours and scare off most thieves.

And fi nally make it diffi cult for a thief to get to the rear of your property where most sheds are. Fit a high gate and keep it locked. thieves don’t like things that block their escape route and it’s diffi cult to climb a high gate or a fence carrying a lawnmower.

And the long warm days of summer often herald an increase in auto crime so make sure your vehicle doesn’t become a target for a criminal.

thieves are always on the look out for easy pickings and open car doors, windows and sun roofs are just what they are looking for.

There are three basic rules forvehicle security

1. Always keep your vehicle locked. this includes the sunroof and windows even if you are only leaving it for a few seconds. it is amazing how many people still leave their vehicle unlocked, and

yet a few seconds is all the time it takes for a criminal to steal your car or your belongings.

2. Never leave anything in your car whether it is valuable or not, particularly when it is parked overnight. more than 60 per cent of thefts of and from vehicles occur when they are parked outside the home. if you really must leave items in your vehicle, lock them in the boot or out of sight and be particularly careful with expensive stereo units, mobile phones and sat navs.

3. think before you park. Park in busy well lit areas near CCtv cameras or in a police approved “Parkmark” car park. Always chain bikes, motorcycles and scooters to something fi xed, like a security rail or post.

enjoy the spring and summer sunshine, but let’s keep thieves where they belong – out in the cold.

register your belongings on a site like www.immobilise.com so that if they are stolen and recovered by police you are more likely to be reunited with them.

report suspicious activity around homes and gardens to police immediately on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.T

a1 Car sales (doncaster) was founded in 2012 by Bircotes born 18year old reece Hoggatt.

reece has always been entrepreneurial and his Dad has been in the motor trade all his life, so with his contacts reece got started buying and selling cars.

he started with 1 car in may 2012, and then started selling more and more until it got to the point where it turned into a full time job. so in November he made the decision to leave college and acquire a yard and start properly.

so far this year he has sold over 25 cars and he now holds a stock of at

least 10 cars at any time. All priced up to around the £3000 mark.

A1 Car sales are 1st car specialist’s, aiming to bring quality 1st cars to the people of harworth and Bircotes, and into south Yorkshire. in stock are cars such as vauxhall Corsas, volkswagen Polos, renault Clios & Fiat Puntos. All these cars are relatively cheap to insure and suitable for 1st time drivers, however more and more

people wanting smaller engined cars to create cheaper driving costs, so part exchange is available.

Feel free to visit the yard and look around the stock.

discuss their plans further.

U.K. Coal: met with Council to discuss the transfer of a balancing pond to H&B. This pond is the last in a sequence of ponds and is the nearest to the 30mph limit sign on Blyth road. UK Coal will disconnect it from the other ponds nearby, and install a new pond; new drainage systems on the Colliery site will ensure any water from the Colliery will not enter the new pond. so what will this new pond be for? – to collect only surface rain water from the housing estate, soon to be built on the lower half of scrooby road.

the law is that no company/person with a declarable interest can manage the pond, which means that the vendor of the building land (U.K. Coal) nor the purchaser of the land (Jones homes) can manage the pond; Notts County Council and the Water Board are happy to have h&B town Council – as an independent and recognised authority - take on that responsibility.

What will that responsibility be? Basically, to mow the grass, keep the site tidy, and ensure public safety is upheld.

Now, where can i get some crested newts....?

U.K. Coal will also be transferring that tiny piece of land near Colliery road/opposite asda

april saw the appearance, at last, of a Traffi c enforcement offi cer from Bassetlaw district Council – something we have long been asking for. Parking on the pavement along the shop fronts is something Council gets the most complaints about, and at last the problem is being addressed. Motorists should note that the use of the parking bays is restricted to 1 hour; parking in the car park opposite is free, but don’t use the disabled spots unless you have a blue badge. and please, don’t park in the recess in the road next to the public toilets – if you do, you are blocking pedestrian access, and forcing them and users of mobility scooters onto the road.

the traffi c enforcement offi cer will be visiting harworth and Bircotes on a regular basis.

DevelopmentsPersimmon: There are a number of developments in the pipeline; one of these is the intention of Persimmon to build 232 new houses at the top of Bawtry road. The public consultation was held in april, and representatives from H&B Town Council have since met with Persimmon to

Pride In YourCommunityHave you noticed the daff odils in fl ower on the approach roads into our community? every year this Council plants more bulbs that naturalise and appear on an annual basis; we do this to improve the appearance of the Town, and for the same reason we put up hanging baskets along the shop fronts. People tell us the Town is looking much better, yet what do i hear from some residents? – “a waste of money”. What is wrong with these people, don’t they want to see improvements in their local environment?

a man in Nottinghamshire was recently fi ne £415 for throwing a cigarette butt on the fl oor. Bassetlaw district Council have recently issued more fi nes than ever before for littering, fl y-tipping and dog fouling, and are vigorously pursuing their new enforcement policy. Why dump your rubbish on the rest of us? With luck you, too, will get fi ned.

in the fi rst two weeks of April three people were identifi ed as having fl y-tipped in our community; one came from Bawtry. N.B. if you pay someone to remove your rubbish, make sure it is a reputable person. if that person does not dispose of your rubbish in the correct manner at a recognised site, you will also be fi ned; the law states that it is your rubbish and your responsibility, so please don’t be duped by some cowboy.

to this Council; as you know we want to improve that site, make it more attractive, and install a monument to miners killed at Harworth Colliery.

As ever, it is getting these transfers through the legal hoops that takes time and causes the long wait before things start to happen.

Pot holesThere is no point in complaining about pot holes unless they are reported; you can do this via County Contact, a service which is available every Friday morning in the Community information Centre. You can also let the Town Clerk know, or contact Notts County Council yourself by ringing 0300 500 8080

To make you Smilerichmond Council recently announced that they will close one road in their borough for two weeks to enable toads to cross safely as they make their way to a pond to breed. The council sees this as their contribution to conservation, and i wouldn’t argue with that. However, anyone who knows the town of Hexham will know of the sign ‘Beware – Toads Crossing’ next to a road that runs alongside the golf course; this sign has been in place for many years. There is also another sign nearby – ‘Beware of Flying Golf Balls’.
