Editors Letter....
Heavy Snow fell in the Isle, lasting
nearly a month. Did you know
England is experiencing its worst
winter for almost 15 years?
Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the weather, I hope everyone gave others a helping
hand if needed. Whilst the snow can be fun, it can also be a terrible burden for others, especially the elderly. I hope you
enjoy the photos in this issue, courtesy of Mr tony Catherall. Also thanks this
month to Mr George Fiddler for supplying me with some superb photos
of the Haxey Hood.
January always seems to be a gloomy month, the excitement of Christmas and
New Year gone. We all need cheering up, lets look forward to brighter months
ahead with Spring just round the corner. Of course there is Valentines Day and
Mothers Day, browse through the Arrow there are plenty of gift ideas.
Keep your articles coming in and if any business is interested in advertising,
prices start from as little as £20 per month. Also don't forget to check our

Enjoy the read.

Wroot Travis School
Newsletter
We came back to school on Tuesday 5th
January and it snowed all day. The dinner
lady couldn‘t get to us so we were sent
home at lunch time. School was closed the
next day too because the roads were too
bad to get through. School opened again on
Thursday and 15 minutes before home time
we donned our wellies and went outside for
a snowball fight. Mrs Gallagher was teaching
the juniors that afternoon and she joined in.
She got the worst of it when all the children
ganged up on her. She said ―That was great
I haven‘t had a snowball fight in ages‖.
We don‘t get snow like this very often so
it‘s great to get out there with your friends
and enjoy it.
It‘s the Wroot Amateur Players Panto,
everyone‘s worked so hard and they‘ve
been rehearsing for ages. This week we‘ve
had two rehearsals followed by four
performances. Several of our children and
some staff are in the panto and they are
feeling very tired now. However it‘s been a
great experience for them and they‘ve had
some really good fun taking part.

Haxey Memorial Hall Committee is continually striving to improve hall facilities and,
thanks to a generous legacy from a Haxey resident,
the late Arthur Jackson, we have been able to
spend a considerable sum updating the main hall
kitchen.
In addition to a new, more powerful extractor fan,
some new electrical equipment has been installed,
including fridge, microwave and industrial dish-
washer and the whole room has benefited from re-
tiling and re-flooring making it a pleasant and effi-
cient place to work. This, however, is only one of
several projects undertaken by the hall committee
over the last 12 months. We have also re-tiled
and decorated the disabled toilet, re-surfaced both
the main hall and Jubilee Room floors to restore
their polished finish and installed a modern sound
system, including hearing loop. We are also ex-
tremely pleased to see the improved facilities,
especially to the play area outside the hall, pro-
vided for those of pre school age by Haxey Pre
School, one of our main hall users. It has always
been our aim to provide an excellent community
facility for all local residents and thanks to our hard
-working committee and many other helpers we
can proudly say that we have done much to
achieve our aim.
If you are interested in hiring the hall for any func-
tion, please contact Mrs. Anne Robinson on the
number listed at the back of the ―Arrow‖.

The current priorities for this area
are as follows:-
Poaching within the South and Central Wards of the
Isle of Axholme. Recently a system has been produced
regarding work practices of dealing and reporting
incidents in conjunction with local farmers. Offenders
will be dealt with positively and should any incident be
reported after the offenders have left the area then
evidence will be gathered for any future subsequent
police action or intelligence purposes, we are also
working closely with our neighbouring police services
in Humberside, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
Westwoodside Playing Field and Local shops. Incidents of criminal damage and vehicles being driven in an
anti-social manner within the park area. Youths have also been acting in an anti-social manner around the
local shop. Update = is that there has been a decrease in calls for service, however this may be due in part
to the adverse weather conditions. The police will continue to monitor the situation over the next month
and gauge where the priority has subsided.
Greenhill, Haxey parking issues around the local shop. Police are monitoring the situation at the present
time discretion is being used and drivers are being advised (several warning letters have been posted) but
consideration will be given in the future to the offence of obstruction should people not heed the advice
given. The Neighbourhood team are working closely with the shop owner to reduce this issue.
Please drive carefully at this time of year. Recent weeks have seen severe weather conditions and we are
asking that you leave plenty of time to get to your destination and think carefully about the road
conditions and your driving abilities.
Recent weeks has seen a number of house burglaries within the Westwoodside and West Butterwick
area. House Owners are asked to be extra diligent when securing their property and be sure to contact
the police as soon as possible if they see any suspicious people or vehicles in their area. You can contact
Humberside Police on 0845 60 60 222 for non-emergency calls. If you feel uncomfortable in calling the
police with information about crime, then please consider contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555
111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity working to fight crime. They can also be joined
on Twitter, Facebook and Bebo or if you go onto the Crimestoppers website you can also fill an on-line
form. When contacting Crimestoppers you do not have to give your name and you may be eligible for a
cash reward.
Working with Pc Starbuck is your Police
Community Support Officer Susan FAHY, who
regularly patrols the South area of the Isle and will
be happy to discuss any community issues with
you. Please feel free to stop and speak with her or
alternatively contact either of us via 0845 60 60
222.
The police station at Epworth also provides a front
counter service for two days a week, Mondays and
Thursdays, between 9am and 3pm. There is also a
Police Surgery held on the first Monday of each
month at Haxey Library 3-4pm for a chat or to raise
local concerns. The next planned date is
Monday 1st February 2010

Epworth & District Flower Club The flower Club has met twice since the last report in the December issue of the Arrow.
At the beginning of December, some members and friends, set off by coach to
Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. On arrival, we had time to look at the spectacular
grounds, have coffee and dodge the rain, before meeting up for lunch together. Elaine,
our Chairman, had made arrangements for a private function room, which was beautifully
laid out for us to enjoy a superb, seasonal meal in lovely surroundings. ―Ladies who
Lunch !!!!!‖. Well done, Elaine. After the meal, we viewed the festively decorated house,
the theme this year being fairytales, really setting the scene for Christmas. There was
time for a little retail therapy in the many shops before catching the coach for home,
after a brilliant day out .
At the end of December, we met at Haxey for a Pink Themed
Party Night. The guest was Yvonne Oliver, in her role as
representative for Breast Cancer Care,to receive a cheque for
£400.00 which had been raised by members throughout the year.
Sandra Thorpe had organised a floral quiz, and members
provided a delicious supper. Another happy meeting. Some members will meet in January for a meal together, but the next meeting at Stephen
Jones Community Hall, will be the AGM, on February 8th at 7.30pm. The Chairman and
committee request that all members attend this meeting , if at all possible, as it will prove to be crucial to
the future of the Club. Please try to be there .

Redundancy Brings New Challenge
for Local Roofing Contractor
After gaining 20 years experience with a Doncaster based
roofing company, Eliot Grant faced the devastating news of redundancy as his employer succumbed to the
recession. There have been many stories similar to this
throughout the last year and Eliot was determined to see
this as an opportunity.
Eliot decided it was time for him to run his own business, ―I just
saw this situation as an opportunity. Your own business is
something you dream of, but sometimes you just don't have the
guts to go for it‖ says Eliot.
Eliot contacted Chris Adams from Success Doncaster, he helped
Eliot write a business plan and apply for a business grant. ―Chris
was a great help and pointed me in the right direction‖.
The business grant helped me buy good quality stationary so my
business could have the right image I wanted. Contacting local designer Tony Davies, who is based
in Haxey helped me achieve this.
Within 2 months EPG Roofing was born, offering the public the best roofing services locally.
Business started on 1st January 2010 and Eliot is
already receiving a steady amount of enquiries,
thanks to the Arrow magazines.
Eliot specialises in all roofing requirements and is
also skilled in all parts of the building trade.

Snow
Snow is like a giant white
blanket that covers the
land,
Snow is silent as it rolls
down from the sky,
Snow feels soft and pow-
dery when you touch it,
Snow tastes like fresh

Snow smells as fresh as an
orange.

Dog Control Order (DCO) – issued from North Lincolnshire Council
Calls to report the existence of fouling are important so we can allocate dog bins, clear away mess and
educate dog walkers / owners but it isn't enough to tackle this messy problem. What we need on top of
the reports of dog mess requiring attention is for residents, councillors, police colleagues and partner
agencies to record and report the following:
Name and address of dog walker. There's a high probability that the dog walker will be local and will be
known to residents.
Registration and description of any vehicle used by a dog walker who isn't a local resident.
Time, location, dog description, weather conditions and what the witnesses actually saw linked into 1 and
2 above.
If 1 and 2 are not known, as no one is ever seen dog walking, 'event diaries' require to be kept to help us
build up the habits of the offending dog walker(s) so Wardens can be tasked on the most likely days /
times to 'meet and greet' potential offenders.
The above are the bare basics of what we need to start taking a more proactive stance against the MI-
NORITY of irresponsible / selfish dog owners / walkers. When dog walkers are greeted by War-
dens we always educate and persuade first and only step into enforcement 'mode' when appropriate.
When asked who complained (and we are) we say - this community or this neighbourhood!
Parish Handyman
During consultation with Parishioners as part of the Haxey Parish Plan process, issues emerged that would
be candidate topics for taking forward in the Plan, expected to be published in Spring 10, but were pro-
jects that the Parish Council could begin to take forward now. One such issue was the potential provision
of a ―Parish Handyman‖. Therefore, the Parish Council has commenced work on this project as part of
the Parish Council Land Working Party (LWP) remit and a cost benefit analysis is currently underway.
Options could include the direct employment of a part time employee to carry out work in the Parish for
a limited number of hours a month; the employment of a Contractor to carry out work in the Parish for a
limited number of hours a month, both under the direct control of the Clerk and the final option would
be not to further the project on cost/benefit grounds.
Tasks currently envisaged for the Handyman are: Churchyard work; Parish Pump maintenance; Notice
Board maintenance; maintenance of Dr Dyson's garden; general litter pick-up through the villages/playing
fields; tidiness of Westwoodside Pond area; watering of hanging baskets/planting of village spaces.
Data gathering on the potential for a Handyman for the Parish continues and the Land Working Party will
meet formally in the next month to consider the information collected and come up with a way forward
for the Parish Council to consider.
Update on Northside
The status of Northside Lane, Haxey was raised initially by a local resident a year ago. North Lincolnshire
Council‘s initial response was that it was a Private Road. The Parish Council disagreed with this and fol-
lowing extensive consultations with local residents, parishioners generally, visitors, North Lincolnshire
Council, the Police and Lincolnshire Archives, decided at their December meeting to ask North Lincoln-
shire Council to create a Bridleway along the Lane from The Nooking to Upperthorpe Road.
Copies of old documents have also been submitted to North Lincolnshire Council that may mean that it is
in fact classed as an ―Ancient Highway‖. Whether as a Bridleway or an ―Ancient Highway‖ the Lane will
be preserved in its present state, be maintained by North Lincolnshire Council and be a Public Right of
Way throughout its length.
The Parish Council share local residents concerns about illegal use by motor vehicles and this issue will be
discussed at the Parish Council meeting in February.

The Isle of Axholme
Where You Live Your Local History Adapted by Anthony Catherall
THE ROMANS The Romans under Emperor Claudius invaded Britain in 43 A.D. His armies very swiftly moved north so that by 47 A.D. they had captured most of the land southeast of a Severn-Trent frontier. At Lincoln a legionary fortress was built. Ermine Street and Fosse Way Roman roads meet at Lincoln. When the captured areas had been consolidated the Romans looked north again. In 71 A.D. they struck across the Humber at Brough and across the Trent at Littleborough. Their attack was hampered by the marshy conditions around the Isle of Axholme and further north in the Vale of York. Keeping to the firmer ground the Romans skirted the Isle of Axholme. They set up a garrison town at Danum (Doncaster). They marched north and between 71 and 74 A.D. they set up a legionary fortress at York. Prior to this in 51 A.D. a Roman outpost was set up near Doncaster (probably near Rossington Bridge) in Brigantian territory. At this time the Brigantes and Romans lived in relative peaceful co-existence. Some history books by (Stonehouse & Fletcher) mention the story of the attacks made by the Britons from the forest covered Isle of Axholme on the Romans en-route from and to Doncaster. Eventually the Romans became annoyed at these attacks and apparently sent an army to deal with the attackers. A battle was fought near Austerfield possibly with the famous Roman General Ostorius in charge. The Romans were the visitors and apparently set fire to the forest thus destroying the Britons refuge. Evidence to support this story includes the finding of remains such as parts of swords, heads of battle-axes and
a statue of a Roman soldier in oak. One Bronze Roman Coin has been found in 1969 at Epworth and is now in Scunthorpe Museum. It has been dated A.D. 350-353 in the reign of Magnentius.

Farming in the Isle at Harvester Farm, Epworth
Snow and freezing temperatures have kept us very busy these last few weeks making the
usually simple jobs, where you are in and back in the warmth, tasks that have taken half
the day! We had frozen water pipes in the cattle yards, which involved having to bucket
water into the troughs, much to the delight of the calves that have a fascination for black
buckets. The ewes needed 7 bales of hay daily, in order to keep up the nutrition and were
very hungry greeting us each morning by rushing like a stampede of‖ woolly beasts‖!
All the livestock appear to have survived this cold spell with no problems just a little
inconvenience and everyone, including ourselves, is now hoping for some warmer
weather.
We have just started to sell our Dexter meat
which our‖ Yorkshire butcher‖ said, with a
smile, ―Not bad at all!!‖. Hopefully this was a
positive comment and that our hard work to
produce the best quality beef has been
achieved.

My book review by Liv
Title of my book: Bed „n‟ Breakfast star.
The main characters in my book are: Elsa, Hunk, Mack, Mum and
Pippa.
Who wrote my book: Jacqueline Wilson.
The beginning of my story goes like this.
Elsa is the eldest and she has hair like a lion‟s mane, it sticks out all curly
and orange, and they called her Elsa because there was a lion named Elsa in either a film, or in a
book. Elsa has a brother and a sister, Hunk and Pippa. Her mum has a boyfriend called Mack
and he is the father of Hunk and Pippa.
In the middle they move into a hotel, but it is more like a dump, and their room was so small that you
could only fit 15 chairs in it, but the wooden rocking chairs. After a couple of days, Elsa had to
go to school, but nobody knew her real life because, she has told them that she is a superstar and
all the children in the school ask for her autograph, but she says autographs are sooo last year.
At the end the hotel catches on fire and only Elsa can smell it because everyone else is fast
asleep, so Elsa screams in her room and Mack jumps up and gets Hunk in one arm and Pippa in
the other and, and when he has them in his arms Elsa screams
like mad down the corridor “FIRE, THERE IS A
FIRE”!!!! and every one comes rushing out of their room and
so they all headed for the exit door with their pj‟s on and then
the camera people come, with all their gear and Elsa gets to
be on telly but she is very embarrassed But after she finishes
talking to them she becomes a TV star and Mack finds a new
job, and they find a new hotel, and their room was absolutely
enormous. You could get 20 elephants in it, and that‟s how
the story ends.
Good points:
The good points are that it describes them very clearly, and it
gets all her life in it, and it has a exciting ending where it shows
pictures of their new room in their new hotel room.

Members of the Axholme Camera Club enjoyed a
very pleasant social evening with a challenging quiz set by the Chairman.
This audio visual presentation consisted of theme music from well known
films and shows with photographs in various categories, animals, birds,
mystery objects, places and well known sayings! The music had to be
identified at the same time as the pictures, which proved tricky, but fun.
Working in teams, 2 teams gained equal points and shared the prize
( chocolate coins, no expense spared! )
A wonderful buffet prepared by the members was enjoyed before a
Famous People Photo quiz, which was won again by two teams ( No
prizes this time!). A good time was had by all!
Vice Chairman David Ulyett, who has been 'holding the fort', supported
by members of the committee during, the long absence of the Chairman,
could relax and enjoy the evening. His thanks go especially to George
Fiddler and Andy Kershaw who stepped into the breech as and when
necessary.
A competition of digitally projected images was well supported, giving judge John Whaley something to think about. David Neale won both
monochrome and colour sections, with George Fiddler also gaining 20
points in the monochrome. Steve Worland achieved 20 points in colour
and 19 in mono. Cliff Steer's colour image also received 19 points.
In February, the Photographer of the Year competition, sponsored by
Tom Dennis Imaging of Scunthorpe, will be held on the 3rd, with a
Landscape/Seascape Print competition on 23rd.
Open to the public on Wednesday March 3rd will be a
audio visual presentation by Parry Jenkins of Wroot,
entitled 'A Musical Tour '. As he travelled around Europe
in the summer, this may give us a clue about the content
of what promises to be an enjoyable evening. Held in the
Church Hall, Haxey at 7.30 pm, there will be a small door
charge of £1.50 to include refreshments.
Best Wishes Lynda

Driving Tip - Why backwards is best
Dear readers,
In a car park, do you reverse into a parking space and drive out, or drive in and reverse out? The next
time you are in a car park, have a look around and see how many people reverse into the space. You will
probably find that most people actually drive in and reverse out. There is no doubt this may be safer/more
convenient if the spaces are angled, when you have to load/unload items from the boot or if it would
cause inconvenience to other road users. On the other hand, reversing into the space provides you with several advantages. The first of these is
that it is safer to reverse into somewhere you can see into (the parking space), rather than reverse out,
into somewhere you can‘t (the line of moving traffic). Many people find that it takes them a few minutes to
settle into ―driving mode‖ when they start their journey. Therefore it doesn‘t make sense to undertake a
potentially high risk manoeuvre such as reversing when you are not concentrating fully. It is also easier to
control a car going forwards, rather than backwards when the car is first started and the automatic choke
is activated. The reduction in wear and tear on you and the car is useful too – plus the fact you can pull
away immediately while the engine is cold, rather
than labour it doing a reversing manoeuvre. From a security point of view, reversing close to an
object such as a wall can make it more difficult for
thieves to access your boot. If you need to exit a
parking space quickly for personal security, driving
out provides you with better acceleration and
improved vision. Over the next week why don‘t you try reversing
into a parking space? You may find it helpful if you
have electric mirrors, to lower your left (nearside)
mirror as this will provide you with a guide to your
lateral position. Another option where all the
spaces run in parallel rows is to line your car up
with the space in front and reverse back in a
straight line. This should automatically position you
in the centre of the space. If you are interested in further information
regarding 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
