Editor’s Letter...

Anyone for a mince pie? Or are

you all full up? I hope

Christmas Day went without a

hitch! However, according to

all the big Supermarkets

Christmas TV adverts this

year, that’s almost an

impossibility!

I was late to learn this new trick but I have

banked it for next year, book your online

shopping slot well in advance by ordering a

minimum order then amend before the

delivery date! I feel liberated, no more

rushing through those packed aisles for me.

What ever you have planned to celebrate

New Year, I hope you have a good one,

and all the very best wishes for 2013.

The deadline for the February issue for

advertising and articles is Wednesday 16th

January. The February Arrow will be

delivered from Friday 25th January 2013!

Happy New Year

Campaigners for lower speed

limits near schools have

launched a petition.

Caroline Flint joined councillors and par-

ents at Edlington Hill Top Primary School

to launch the campaign.

Caroline said: “The response from parents

today was incredibly positive. The worry

about safety was widespread – one parent

even described how she was knocked

over. At Edlington Hill Top lorries and

cars come over the brow of the hill and are

at the school before you know it. One

parent talked about how difficult it is to

cross when the crossing attendant isn’t

there because of the speed of vehicles.

“So far over 30 schools and half of the par-

ish councils in this constituency support

reducing speed limits. I hope this petition

is promoted widely and spurs the Council

into doing something to improve road

safety near schools. Action by Doncaster

Council is long overdue.”

Copies of the petition have been sent to

every school. For more information on the

Speed Limit campaign or to sign the peti-

tion online go to carolineflintdonval-

ley.com. Copy of the petition can be

downloaded from the site.

Edlington & Warmsworth councillors joined

parents to demand action over speed limits.

The weather was kind and a

good number of all ages came

to St Mary’s Christmas Fayre

on 24th November 2012.

The grotto was as lovely as ever and

thrilled a good number of children. There

were new games to play, superb cakes and

treats, raffles, tombola, lunches and snacks;

in fact plenty for all!

£3200 was raised and, despite the

economic situation, this was even more

than the good result last year! A big thank

you to all who came and to those who

helped organise and run the event. Money

will go to the Church Roof Appeal as work

is still on-going.

Warmsworth WI is now open.

We meet at Warmsworth Community

Centre on the first Thursday of each

month 7-9 pm. New members are always

welcome.

A Jigsaw Puzzle Library is held in

the Stable Room, St. Mary’s Church on the

2nd Tuesday of each month and has been

running since September by June Spencer

and myself and has created quite a lot of

interest. We have over 200 jigsaws which

we hire out for £1 each and to be returned

the following month. Tea, coffee and cakes

are served for £1 and many folk come

along for a browse round and to enjoy the

company. All monies raised is to be

donated to St Mary’s Church Roof Appeal.

Here are the dates we are open:

Tuesday 8 January, 12 February, 12 March,

9 April onwards. 10 – 12 noon.

June and I also organise the Parish

Luncheon Club held at the Newton

Arms on the last Thursday of the month.

This was a new venture started in January

this year expecting around 20 folk but 37

turned up and each month numbers have

increased to 45/50 and it is a huge success!

It is surprising the comments we hear from

people –the enjoyment of sharing a meal

with many new friends – particularly those

living on their own.

The dates for the lunch are as follows:

Meet at the Newton 12 for 12.30 and

bookings are made in advance by

telephoning either June 785759 or myself

782776.

Thursday 31 January, 28 February, 28

March, 25 April and thereon.

Both these events are part of our “Out

Reach in the Community”. Non-profit

making and purely run on a voluntary basis.

Everyone is welcome.

WARMSWORTH

CRICKET

CLUB

To start this month’s update, I would just like to wish everyone a

very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year, from

everyone associated with Warmsworth Cricket Club.

Christmas is a busy time for everyone and that is no different for us, with plans

being put into place to ensure that the Christmas celebrations go off with a bang!

There is plenty to look forward too, with the children’s Christmas party just

around the corner and the school disco planned for New Year’s Eve.

We are always looking for new members, both playing and social, so if you are at

a loose end over the festive season, or fancy a quiet pint one night, pop down and

give our club a try. Reasonable prices, live football being shown and a warm and

comfortable setting, what more could you want!

Onto cricketing matters, and the Indoor

League have reached their break in the

season, and don’t have a game now till

early January. The teams form has been

up and down throughout and the lads

have a win record of just fewer than

50%, not a bad effort from a young team

competing in a competitive league. Keep

up the good work in the New Year

chaps.

Just as a final point, we would like to

welcome our new groundsman Doug

Swann to the club. Doug has been

working on sports pitches for many

years and we are sure he will do a great

job over the coming seasons at

Warmsworth Cricket Club.
