Being a mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont

With Mother’s Day approaching I thought I would look for a quote about mothers this month and came across this lovely one. Being a mum can be hard at times (particularly during half term which is when I am writing this)! However the rewards are many and varied, from the thrill of � rst steps, to the satisfaction of

children spreading their wings as independent young people and then moving on to creating families

of their own. As Mother’s Day approaches give a thought for all Mums at whatever stage of motherhood they may be, and don’t forget those around you who no longer have their mums to treat this Mother’s Day.

The next issue will be delivered from 28th March – Good Friday. Anything that you

would like to be included must be with me by Thursday 14th March.

I know 21st century life is busy and times are di� erent than in the 1700’s. However, family needs are the same. So to all of you amazing mums out there, please take time to invest some time/energy in the most precious thing in all the world … your children.

If you would like to pop in for a cuppa, the door is always open. (Eric Simpson, Pastor … 07828141472 … [email protected] … Facebook)

the 25th child of 25. She, in turn, had 19 children. Susanna took her responsibilities seriously. She knew the importance of personal time with each of her children. With all her other duties, she would dedicate at least one focused hour a week to each of her children. The story goes (and this is the funny bit), when it came time to “Susanna time”, she would put her apron up over her head. That was the signal to “leave mum alone”. Wonder how that would work today?!

WELCOME TO CAUSE for a Cuppa. Do you like Paula’s (editor) new format?! I do … very attractive and professional. I am sure it would be encouraging to her to just drop her a quick note to let her know what you think. She is a very busy woman but everyone needs encouragement.

Speaking of “very busy woman” … Mother’s Day is here once again. We have mentioned so many times that days like this tend to bring up incredibly happy feelings or sometimes sad or even angry emotions. For me, this is now the 2nd Mother’s Day without my own Mum. I think my last day with her will be one of those times I will keep with me forever. In mum’s busy life as a single mother with 4 children, she did her very best to be taxi driver as well as science project helper. She took personal time with each of us. Though we didn’t have much in the way of material things, she gave of herself. I wanted to tell you a brief story about a woman named Susanna Wesley.

You may recognise the “Wesley” name. Her sons, John and Charles Wesley started the Methodist Church movement. Large families were common in the 18th century. Susanna took that to heart. She was

advice it was agreed that there were no declarations of interest.

Finally John Gibson volunteered to be on a joint committee with the three Ward Councillors, a DMBC o� cer and representatives of Recycoal. This committee is the allocation committee for the moneys coming to the village from Recycoal over the next four to � ve years. It was suggested that the money could be used to fund the building up of the allotment being provided by Recycoal.

The Medieval Festival grows by the day we now have two groups of Vikings, perhaps as many as 50, 70 to 80 Normans, we also have groups of Plantagenets and Hundred Year’s War Knights all giving di� erent sorts of displays, but all � ghting at some point, and at the end of the day a massed battle, ‘The Battle of Rossington’ with as many as 200 taking part. We also have a Tudor living history group giving Tudor cookery and dancing lessons, we have another living history group that is putting on plays, playing music, well the hurdy gurdy and bagpipes, and showing leather and metal work skills. We have falconry, jesters, wandering minstrels, storytellers and Saxon wood turners and weavers and a medieval market. There will be a beer tent and food available and you will be able to join the re-enactors at a free music show in the beer tent in the evening.

At the Parish Council we agreed to send our new Parish Clerk on a New Parish Clerks course, it would be good if he learned the ins and outs of the job. We also � lled two vacancies on committees that we had deferred at the last meeting, Julie on one and Alison on the other, that was easy.

We had a Planning Committee meeting at which there was no controversial decisions to make. One noti� cation of an appeal was reported and that appeal was dismissed.

We had two Triple A Regeneration committee meeting at which DMBC o� cers gave a timeline for us to follow to get the Neighbourhood Plan completed and a list of consultees, none the least the people of Rossington. It was decided that progress had to be made and that the Neighbourhood Plan should go to a referendum and see if it was feasible to complete it by July or August. After legal

STEVE MERRIMAN HAS retired and we held a small surprise farewell party. Steve really thought we were having a Projects committee meeting and as usual prepared a full agenda, including a guest speaker! Well, I had some di� culty cancelling the guest speaker and then having to change the time of the meeting and in the end it worked. Carol Beaumont and my wife Janet secretly prepared food etc. and Steve was so amazed it was funny. Steve received a very special present, ask him what it was when you see him! Anyway Jim Beaumont has started and looks to be an asset to the Parish Council, he has already found a source of funding for the Memorial Hall, and so things are moving on.

We also have two new Parish Councillors Alison Harper and Julie Shaw, both co-opted on to the Parish Council to replace John Adam and Bev Harrison. Both are well known in the village and both should be good Parish Councillors. Alison (Ali) is from the Poacher and Julie is the manager of Victim Support.

Things are moving ahead with our projects and the � rst, now named, Easter Eggstravaganzer, this for children up to 11. There will be a children’s Easter fancy dress parade (with prize) and a chocolate hunt divided into under 7’s and 8’s to 11’s, everyone will be a winner. This will be held around Brodsworth Way play area and pavilion and open to the entire village. There will be co� ee and tea served in the pavilion, the usual BBQ and free rides on a funfair and the compulsory bouncy castle. This is on 31st March; the start will be 11.00am, and expect a fun day out.

Our � rst big event, the Vintage Vehicle and Steam Show on 1st and 2nd June is expected to be much, much bigger than last year and will have something for everyone. There will hopefully be several big steamers this year and the usual mix of stalls, and exhibits. A friendly fun day out that shouldn’t be missed.

A NEW DANCE craze perhaps? Well maybe … if you’re a worm that is! In my opinion, worms have to be the unsung heroes of the garden. They only eat what I don’t want, they tidy up leaves from the borders by dragging them down into the soil, and who else improves our soil structure by adding air holes, incorporating organic matter en route and even provides food for the birds (sorry worms!), all for free?

As far as I’m aware, garden worms don’t have their own ‘worm awareness week’, they just carry on doing what they do best, quietly making beautifully rich, dark brown garden goodness. You may be happy to leave the worms well alone, merrily munching away in the compost heap, but why not have a go at making your own worm villa (known as a wormery), or buying a pre- made version online? Most kids love worms

so it’s a great activity to do as a family, or indeed if you enjoy the idea of reducing land� ll and nourishing your garden at the same time.

Worms will happily nosh through your kitchen waste. They’re not that fussy but they don’t like acidic things such as citrus peels, garlic and onion, but things they do love (strangely) are teabags, eggshell and cold mashed potato, (I’ve heard that for worms these foods are like us eating oysters…they erm… put them in the mood for a little wriggle wriggle). That said, worms never over populate and are able to regulate their breeding actively in line with their environment. Bizarrely they can also change gender to suit the local talent on o� er!

They don’t like extremes in temperature, so I’d advise keeping them in a shaded corner which

does not get too hot or cold. Their home can be insulated in winter, or moved into the garage. The resulting compost is rich and when scattered into the borders makes a highly concentrated soil improver, as does the liquid ‘wee tea’ which can be accessed via the tap at the base of the wormery. Diluted at 1:10 with water it makes a great natural liquid plant food too.

Until next time,happy gardening, Lee...

TOP TIPS

Garden View


Like everything else in the garden, our lawns are learning to cope with the ups and downs of climate change.Our lawns take a real battering as a result and we expect them to come back year after year. Well, they will - we take it for granted. Their ability to bounce back is amazing but that doesn’t mean they don’t need some help because every year it gets that bit more difficult. With a little time and effort you can have a handsome and healthy lawn for your family to enjoy which is the envy of all your friends and neighbours. Here are our six tips to get your lawn off to a flying start.

Clean UpRake away those dead leaves, twigs and branches. The less debris on the lawn, the healthier it will be, not to mention the real benefit from increasing its exposure to sunlight.

Lawns don’t like shadeTake a good look at those border plants, shrubs and trees – they all have a habit of encroaching on the lawn’s space and weakening it by denying it light. Then … get the secateurs out!

Is your mower up to the job?Check your mower is up to the job - it’s not too late to get it serviced. Make sure the blade is sharp and keep it that way by buying a spare and swapping it over as the season progresses. Remember to raise the height of your first cut to just ‘top’ the grass – cutting it too low will put the grass into stress and set it back - just when you want to encourage it.

Does your lawn need some T.L.C?The ground starts to warm now so it’s a good time to repair those bare patches that always appear over winter. Carefully rake the patch to create a bed, sow the seeds with a little top-soil and don’t let them dry out. They’ll germinate in a few days. Don’t mow or feed them until a few weeks have passed and they’re well established.

Hand-pick those early weeds.If hand-picking isn’t your thing and you don’t fancy buying, storing and handling chemicals, get the professionals in.

Look out for sickly-looking patches.Leatherjackets, the larval form of the ‘Daddy Long-legs’ can devastate a lawn in spring as they chomp through the roots of the grass. If you suspect a problem, get professional advice.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON is coming to an end which means that the U17’s team will no longer be playing together.

Through the years they have made our Sundays special and in 2012 they had their reward when they won the First Division cup by a massive 56 points, not losing a game and conceding only 25 goals all season. Credit must go to their manager Troy Bubb who taught them from an early age. Sundays won’t be the same!

We wish them all the very best for the future.

A request for help AT THE MOMENT the Lions have no suitable large safe and convenient place to store all the equipment used for fund raising and it is di� cult to keep track of. It would be better if we could store the equipment in one place. Do you have a secure garage or lockable storage space which the Lions could use to house this equipment and have unlimited access. You would not be responsible for the equipment as the Lions have

their own insurance.If you can help please give us a call us on 07752 688 340 or send us an E-mail to [email protected].

HELLO WE ARE BENJI & ROSIE, We came to May� ower as our owners were workinglong hours.

As we are new in care we are going through an assessment period and there will be more information up about me shortly.

If you would like any more information please don’t hesitate to ask one of my carers.

Pets

HELLO FROM US all at the Sanctuary. The start of the year has had its ups and downs. We have had quite an in� ux of dogs and cats coming to us over Christmas which is usual for this time of year. What is unusual is that lots of pedigree dogs are with us for various reasons. We have some beautiful Labradors, German Shepherd and smaller pedigrees all needing loving homes. If you feel you would like to spend your life with a pet whether it be a dog or a cat please call and see us we are open 2-4 during the week and 1-4 at a weekend. Closed on a Tuesday.

If you also have time on your hand and need to get � t can we suggest you come and walk some of our dogs during the day. Mornings are better before we open or any time on a Tuesday. It gives us all an incentive to walk if we have a four legged friend at our side & you will be surprised at how much thefresh air and exercise will helplift your spirits especially nowthe weather is getting a littlebetter. If you would like further information please call us 01302711330 or 07969203206.

HELLO, MY NAME IS LOKI. I was returned to the

May� ower because my owner was struggling to look

after me and a young baby.

I can be a little nervous when I � rst meet people, but it

doesn’t take me long to warm to you, especially if you win

me over with a little play.

I am quite a laid back dog and am generally happy to sit

back and watch the world go by, I do like attention &

I love to have a fuss and love to go out for long walks.

I don’t want for much; if you could o� er me a place in your

family, a cosy spot to curl up in and a little exercise then why

not take me in the paddock and get to

know me a little better? It could be the start of

something beautiful.

Name: PIPSex: MALEApprox age: 7 YearsGood with dogs: NOLived with children: YES Good with other cats: NO

PipHELLO I’M PIP, I came to

May� ower due to my owners ill health.

Even though I’m a tad older I am still very playful

and like my walks, I am a loving lad that likes the

company of my owner but I won’t mind being left for

a while as I don’t mind my own company.

I have only lived with older children but my

previous owners said I was very fussy with any

children, I don’t like other dogs too much so a home

where I am the only dog would be ideal.

If you think I would � t nicely into your home,

then please don’t hesitate to ask one of my carers.

bene� t from and it is distressing when these facilities are constantly burgled, particularly as the tea-bar is our major source of regular income to keep the Club solvent. There may be a reward for any information received that could lead to the perpetrators being identi� ed to the police.

Finally this month a plea for help in trying to catch the low-life of the village who are breaking in to properties. We know private houses, shops and schools have been targeted and now our own tea-bar has been added to the list. Stock was taken, as well as the damage caused by their forced entry in the early hours. Similar to other ventures in Rossington, we are volunteers trying to provide a service that the community can

SADLY AT THE time of writing this article the 1st team are still awaiting their � rst points of 2013, although it must be noted that only 3 games have been played, with 4 other scheduled matches postponed due to snow/ice/waterlogged conditions. A 2-1 defeat away at Knaresborough was our only competitive match in January; February started with a 1-0 home defeat to Louth.

The match at Teversal a week later was nowhere near as close as we slumped to a heavy 5-0 defeat. With so many cancellations, games are now likely to be coming fairly frequently into the last 2 months of the season and we shall no doubt have cancelled games re-scheduled for midweek.

We must mention the opening week of March when both 1st and 2nd team have perhaps their biggest matches of the season so far. On Tuesday 5th the 1sts host Staveley in the quarter-� nal of the She� eld Senior Cup with a 7-30p.m. kick-o� . Four days later our 2nd team face Kirkburton (Hudders� eld area) in the semi-� nal of the Association Cup, having beaten previously undefeated Jubilee Sports (She� eld) away in the quarter-� nal. The 2nd team sadly lost their � rst Cup game of the season on Feb. 9th when, down to 10 men, they were beaten 5-2 in the Doncaster Challenge Cup, this defeat following a 1-0 loss at Kinsley in the League a week earlier.

NOT TOO LONG now before the bowling community come out of the warmth of their winter hibernation to once again stretch their limbs on the greens in preparation for the 2013 season. Little has been done in terms of maintenance since last October, although a couple of volunteers were responsible for removing almost 60 sacks of leaves from the gutters and gardens as Autumn took its toll on the neighbouring trees. No doubt we shall � nd at least one project

to complete in the lead-up to the start of the season. With the next Doncaster meeting scheduled for mid-March, notice is hereby given of the Club’s pre-season meeting on SUNDAY MARCH 24th at 11a.m. in the Welfare Club (Committee to meet at 10-30a.m.) With the Easter weekend falling the following week it is likely the greens may be open from March 29th, although con� rmation of this will be determined at the pre-season meeting.

In yet another valiant e� ort to increase membership in our junior ranks I am contemplating an Open Junior Competition in May. With 2 or 3 sponsors on board it may be possible to o� er prize money as an incentive to encourage the youngsters of Rossington to enter. More on this idea in next month’s issue but if any � rms or businesses are interested in sponsoring a junior bowling competition then please contact the Club Secretary on 867221.

Armthorpe and Bessacarr, but gain Torne Valley, Edlington, Connisburgh and Denaby and Mexborough. It will be called the South West Area, although it does look, on the map, South west and east! Hopefully it will be a seamless change.

The FARRRS link road has not been signed o� yet, they are now arguing about a rail line, frustrating. I am assured that it will happen soon as Amazon want their warehouse open by April 2014. Their plan will create 1200 jobs, hopefully a lot of Rossington people getting them.

We now have had several meetings in the new Civic O� ces and to be honest, I’m not impressed. It may be that it is new and modern, but for instance the desk in the new Council Chamber is not big enough to have two sets of papers on them, the seats are uncomfortable and the screens used for presentations are too small for my eyesight. Well I suppose I’ll get used to it.

South Yorkshire Housing Association’s application, part 2, on the play area maintained by Radburn Tara hasn’t got to planning yet. It is due in March and I will speak against it of course, although they have changed their plan to make it better, not good

enough though. The space substituted for the public open space is too small and cramped.

As part of my Scrutiny panel, Regeneration and Environment, work I have chaired a committee discussing getting young people into work and the Principal of All Saints Academy, Alan Warboys, has volunteered the school to triall a new program of Careers Guidance. This will come as a teaching pack and it is hoped that this will give Information, Advice and Guidance. I hope this works out well, and may help get square pegs into square holes

ROS JONES, LABOUR’S candidate for the upcoming Mayoral elections has had two goes at canvassing Rossington, but was snowed o� both times. The Rossington Councillors are fully supporting her and encourage everyone to vote for her. The current Mayor has done nothing for Doncaster and has made us look a laughing stock.

The Mayor’s budget has been changed by Labour to be more caring to the elderly and the disabled. We issued a press release saying what we would change, and he then had to follow suit.

The neighbourhood team and my wife Janet have been pulling out all the stops to get the sensory garden ready for the long awaited spring. It has been hard work, in fact the ground was so hard and compacted we had to get a mini-digger in to soften up the soil. Planting of the many plants has started, and most of the hard landscaping has been completed. Some of the materials from the abandoned ‘Parklands’ play scheme have been reused in the sensory garden, but some of it will be wasted. The money already spent on planning and other things related to that scheme has also been wasted.

The reduction in the Area Teams, from 5 to 4 will mean that Steve Thomas, our area manager’s proposed area will change, he will lose

It’s never to late to learn to SwimThey say that 1 in 5 adults cannot swim and that swimming is theonly sport that can save your life! So why doesn’t everyone whohasn’t learnt to swim by the time they are adults get themselves offto swimming lessons to learn?I run a private adult swimming school at Bircotes Leisure Centreevery Sunday night and have been teaching adult swimmers of allages and abilities for some considerable time, so I reckon I’ve heardmost of the reasons that people come up with. Here’s a few:swimming gets you (and particularly your hair) wet; you have toexpose bits of you that you’d rather keep under wraps; it’s probablytoo late to learn at your age.Some of these things are true: it is very wet in a swimming pool andit is better to swim in a swimming costume than in everyday clothes. As for it being too late tolearn, most adults are surprised to find how quickly they can learn. Of course it takes differentpeople different amounts of time, and each person has different aspirations, but to be able toenter the pool and travel around without support should only take a matter of a few lessons.There is one very real fear that many adults have regarding learning to swim, and that is that theywill be recognised. I guess this fear attaches itself to the fear of exposing more of your body thanyou care to share with the public and the embarrassment of admitting you can’t swim. Firstly Ican attest to the truth of the rumour that it is very difficult to recognise people with their clotheson. I have been caught out on a number of occasions by people coming up to me and holdinglong and detailed conversations with me, while I stand there in bewilderment wondering whothey are. Secondly, everyone in the class is in exactly the same position as you; they are there tolearn to swim and are wearing a swimming costume (and probably won’t recognise you with yourclothes on either). In addition, as we hire the whole pool for the lessons, there is no chance thatMark Foster or Sharron Davies will turn up unannounced to upstage you.Remember, swimming is probably the only sport that can save your life as well as being probablythe most complete workout for your body. It is also fun. Once you have mastered this skill youwill be able to enjoy the pool and sea on holiday, go swimming with your kids or simply use theskill to get fit. It’s worth getting wet for.

Diary Dates:

13 RESIDENTS ATTENDED our Co� ee Morning in February and we did miss one or two of our “regulars”. Heather came from Ark & Crafts and brought some of the samples which had been made at the Holmescarr Centre, which included various cards, some pottery, knitted items, etc. Evidently it is almost a year since the library began its operation being run by volunteers, more are needed if you have some time to spare. Why not go along and see what’s happening in Holmescarr, where both the library (with its computers) is available to use and to check out the classes which Heather runs.

The next Co� ee Morning will be on Thursday 14th March, from 9:15 in the Brodsworth Way Pavilion, � nishing at 11:15. We guarantee a warm welcome to anyone who would like to come along.

Regards Susan Tel. 869001

WE ARE LOOKING for additional members to enable us to expand the versatility of the choir.

Enthusiasm and an enjoyment of singing are more important than vocal talent although the later would be very welcome!

We practice every Wed evening, 7.30-9.30pm in the Memorial Hall. Anyone interested is asked to ring the secretary on 01302 860623.

The choir was asked on 16th January to join family and friends at the funeral of a valued choir member and friend Mr Cecil John (Cis.) Barrow,which we were pleased to do .

The family, in a most generous gesture, donated the proceeds of the collection, taken at the church, in excess of £300.00 to the choir funds.

We wish to record our appreciation of this and intend to use some of the monies to purchase copies of music which will be dedicated to Cis.
