APPEAL FOR UNWANTED
KNITTING WOOL. If you have any unwanted knitting wool
(any colour) that you would like to donate
to help raise funds for Cancer Research
please call Mrs Hoff on 01302 842389.
Local collections can be arranged.
THANKYOU
Many thanks to everyone who helped with, or
attended and supported our Annual Garden
Party on 14th July.
Thankyou to all the stallholders, and to many
friends for helping to set everything up, and for
clearing away afterwards.
The day was most enjoyable and well attended
despite the threat of bad weather forcing our
decision to hold the event in Church.
(After much anxiety, and sleepless nights
watching every weather forecast; most of which
predicted heavy rain for mid afternoon Saturday,
the fateful decision was eventually taken late
Friday afternoon to once again hold the event in
Church).
Many people commented that they enjoyed
sitting in our beautiful Church and listening to
the Band, and Schools etc, and that they found
the atmosphere to be very friendly, though at
times slightly crowded!
The amount taken on the day was £2,474.01,
leaving an expected profit of £2,146.78 to go
towards General Church Funds, a magnificent
figure, and one raised entirely within 3 hours!
Thankyou to all those who donated prizes, and
items for the stalls. The final total is entirely due
to the kindness and generosity of so many of
our local (and some not so local) people.
A good days work, helping to ensure our church
will still be here in the foreseeable future.
P.S. Looking forwards to a less stressful and
SUNNY event next year!!
Once again THANKYOU!
St. Lawrence Church Garden Party Committee.

CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU
Advice column
Q. My children are starting at a new school this September and since the recession our
finances have been squeezed almost to breaking point already. Is there any help
available for things like buying school uniforms?
A. Citizens Advice’s Adding Up campaign was set up to challenge schools to help
families by following these simple recession-busting tips:
1. If you feel your child’s school isn’t doing enough to keep costs down, raise the issue with the
school management team. Draw their attention to the Schools Admissions Code, and keep copies
of all correspondence.
2. If you’re not happy with the response, approach the school’s governing body. They should have a
complaints procedure in place which will deal with issues such as complaints about uniform policies.
3. You can also raise the issue with the Schools Admissions Forum in your area. Your local
authority should be able to give you details.
4. If your school has an exclusive contract with a uniform supplier which prevents you from buying
‘off the peg’ items at a cheaper rate, ask them to review this.
5. If they refuse to change this policy then they may be subject to enforcement action by the Office
of Fair Trading: www.oft.gov.uk
6. If you are concerned that excessive school costs are affecting your decision to send your child to
a particular school then you can object to the Schools Adjudicator: www.schoolsadjudicator.gov.uk
7. Suggestions you can make to your child’s school for how to keep costs fair and low could include:
Making sure uniform is available from a range of outlets
Providing sew-on or iron-on badges that can be put on plain clothing Encourage second hand uniform sales or swap schemes
Providing budgets for the year in September so parents can plan ahead
Being transparent about which contributions are voluntary
8. If you are really struggling with buying school uniform or PE kit for your child(ren), apply to your
local authority for a School Uniform Grant.
9. If you have difficulties with any of the above steps your local Citizens Advice Bureau can help.
Many bureaux are already trying to influence the work of local Schools Admissions Forums as part
of our Adding Up campaign.

Go for Gold.
Further cementing our Twinning, Hatfield/Merksplas 2 of the teachers from Belgium and
their husbands were guest of ours for a short period, during which Mrs Helen Acton,
headmistress, of Hatfield Woodhouse primary invited the 5 of us down to her school to
view the show, "Go for Gold" the theme was the Olympics past and present,
concentrating mainly on the past ! Predominantly the show featured Year 6, but there
were contributions from both Year 5 and 3. The show was probably one of the best that I
have seen from such an age group and was carried throughout with superb clarity and
professionalism and at times it was very humorous! The Belgium guests were certainly
impressed, but let them tell you in their own words via a email that I received on their
return to Merksplas .
Lucky Belgians we were!
We were privileged to be witnesses to a beautiful show, mostly brought by the children of
Year 6. We were astonished about the fact that everything went so fluently, so disciplined
and so self-employed!
All the actors played their role very well ! Everyone knew quite good what they had to say
and what they had to do. We think that they have practiced a lot and they have practiced
good! We even think that England will have a new Daniel Radcliffe or Kate Winslet in a
couple of years, raised in Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School..
But not only the children of Year 6 have overwhelmed us, we also enjoyed listening to the
singers as much as seeing the acting. They all sang so lively, clear and beautiful. We loved
the songs ! Again we were impressed about the discipline and the responsibility the
children took.
For our opinion, the children who made part of the show........ "THEY HAVE EARNED
THE GOLD" !
Well that is praise indeed ! Excellent show and credit to all the school teachers and pupils
that were involved !

ANIMAL CARE FOR THE FUTURE
15th -22nd September Rabbits are now the third most common pet but unfortunately many people are unaware of how to properly care for these active sociable animals. Evolution will be taking part in the national RAW in
September offering free consultations to promote bunny well being. HUTCHES Whether your rabbit lives indoor or outdoor hutches should be large enough to allow the rabbit to take several hops, and tall enough so they can stretch up on their hind legs. All rabbits need regular exercise to ensure good health. FEEDING Many of the problems we see originate from poor diet. Access to fresh water, lots of good hay and small amounts of good quality dry food such as Burgess Rabbit Excel is extremely important. Green foods such as food such as grass, carrot and swede should also be given daily but avoid fattening foods such as fruit and rabbit muesli type mixes. During RAW we will be offering money off vouchers for any Burgess Excel rabbit food bought in practice. GENERAL HEALTH You should check your rabbit at least once a week, paying particular attention to their teeth. During warmer weather it is important to check daily their back-end daily to ensure that the fur is not soiled otherwise rabbits become susceptible to flystrike. If your pet is prone to soft faeces it is always advisable to have them checked by a vet to make sure there are no underlying problems. VACCINATIONS Myxomatosis. We regularly treat animals infected with this disease which causes extreme suffering and is nearly always fatal! Biting insects such as mosquitoes and fleas spread this deadly virus, so any rabbit can catch it whether they live outdoors or in your home. It is always distressing to see animals affected by myxomatosis, especially when it can be easily prevented by routine vaccination. VHD. This is a viral disease that may be spread through the air. It causes sudden death and has no obvious symptoms, but can be protected against by routine vaccination. We now offer a combined annual vaccination that protects rabbits against both diseases. NEUTERING As is the case with cats and dogs, these routine operations will often mean that an individual rabbit is friendlier towards their owner and with female rabbits removes the considerable risk of uterine cancer and unwanted pregnancy. In nearly every case when rabbits are kept together they are more likely to be sociable if they have been spayed (females) and castrated (males).

The Croft Children’s Centre
Rhyme Challenge!
24th July 1pm – 3.30pm
The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the children from The Croft Children’s
Centre, Dunscroft were taking part in Bookstart’s ‘Rhyme Challenge’ with Hatfield
Library!
The Croft Children’s Centre staff
arranged for the children and their
families to take a leisurely stroll
through the village to the Library for
an afternoon of fun, rhymes, stories
and arts and crafts.
Jenny Haughan, Manager at Hatfield
Library said; ‘It was great to have the
families from The Croft here for the
afternoon, the parent’s and library staff
had just as much fun as the children
taking part in all the activities we had
planned for them! We hope to see the
children and their parent’s again soon’.
The Rhyme Challenge was developed
by Bookstart to encourage a love of
rhymes and early poetry in children
aged 0–5 and to promote the

Our First Year as Travis St Lawrence Primary School.
Our first year as a new school and what a year it has been! Each month the reporters
have brought you news of all the exciting activities and events; these have included Get
Your Grown Up Gardening, Whole School Sports’ Day, Science Fair and Open Gardens.
In addition, we have become a Sustrans bike- it school, experiencing bike-it breakfasts in
the bleakest of winter mornings!
Throughout the year, all the children have had the opportunity to participate in exciting
trips, some to the beach at Filey, others to hunt out the lions at Yorkshire Wildlife Park,
whilst others stepped back in time to work as a Victorian. In years 4, 5 and 6, many
children took part in a residential, either in Derbyshire (Years 4/5) or Kingswood (Year
6).
Also as a Church School, we joined in the celebrations of 200 years of church education.
On other occasions, we were extremely proud that this year the school achieved the
‘outstanding’ award for community gardening from ‘Yorkshire in Bloom’ and also the
status of being Parent Partnership school. Pause for breath!
Mrs Gibson concluded our first year by writing to parents to inform them of our
achievements and, in particular, to celebrate the academic results of the Year 6 children.
“Much has been achieved during this year and solid foundations have been laid for the
school’s future.
I am delighted to tell you that the end of year results were excellent with very significant
improvement from the previous Manor School results. 100% of the children achieved
Level 4 and above in English with 39% achieving Level 5. In Maths, 92% achieved Level 4
and above and 40% achieved Level 5. 92% of children achieved the key measure of Level 4
and above in both English and Maths. This is a 23% improvement on the previous year’s
results”…. “Key Stage One children again achieved highly and the school’s high standards
in Key Stage One were maintained”.
I’m sure you’ll agree this year has been a wonderful start and we look forward to
welcoming the next academic year with all the adventures and challenges it brings.

Hatfield Woodhouse Primary School News
August 2012
Hello there!
School is so quiet I can hear the hum of the computer server… there are no children here at all,
this being the middle of the summer holidays. For this reason it has been left to me to write the
article for this month’s Arrow to keep you all up-to-date with what has been happening at Hatfield
Woodhouse Primary School.
Our final week of term was full of highs and lows!
We were really pleased when local celebrity Tamsin Hobbs
(South Yorkshire’s Perfect Miss) came to school to present
tickets to go to Olympics events to Amy from Year 3 and
William from Year 4. Amy and William won the tickets in a
draw containing all the names of pupils with good attendance
at school this year. Amy and her family will be going to the
football at Old Trafford whilst William will be going to the
Paralympics Athletics in London. We congratulate them both
on winning their tickets and hope they have a wonderful
time. It will be amazing for them to look back in years to
come and say ‘I was at the 2012 Olympics!’
The bad weather during the last week of term unfortunately meant that our Sport Day had to be
cancelled for a second time. We will reschedule it for the Autumn term. However another event
which was more successfully rescheduled was our Father’s Day Picnic. The dads and granddads of
children in Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage joined their children for an afternoon of energetic
sporting and playground activities. We were delighted that South Yorkshire’s Perfect Miss -Tamsin
Hobbs, was also able to attend. The ice-cream van and a final football match between the dads, with
the children cheering them on, made the afternoon really special.
We said ‘Good-bye’ to our Year 6 class in a final assembly on Thursday where they showcased their
talents for us for the very last time. We were moved to tears by Jasmine and Molly’s gymnastic
dance routine and clapped along to Harry playing his drums for us. The children shared their
memories of their time at Hatfield Woodhouse and told us what they were looking forwards to at their new secondary schools.
I can’t wait for the new term here to begin. We will be welcoming both new teachers and pupils to
our happy school. There are lots of new and exciting experiences waiting for them to share …but
I’ll let our new reporters tell you more about those in September.
Enjoy what’s left of the summer!
Yours,
Helen Acton, Principal

Dunsville WI visit
The Black Country Museum Each year instead of its usual monthly meeting the
group takes the opportunity to get out and about in
August.
The destination of the trip is decided upon by
members and then arranged on their behalf by the
committee; it is always popular, with places being
allocated to members first and then family and
friends.
So, for 2012, WI members along with family and
friends enjoyed a great day out at The Black
Country Museum in Dudley.
After all the rain that we have had recently we set
out with hope in our hearts for a fine day and were
not disappointed as the sun shone for us all day long.
Time flew by as everyone explored the many
different aspects of this huge outdoor Museum.
The most popular attractions proved to be the many
shops and houses that had everyone saying “we had
one of those” or for the younger members “I
remember my granny having that”, a canal boat trip
through long dark narrow tunnels, traditional fish
and chips served on paper with no polystyrene
cartons in sight, lessons in the
schoolroom with the scary teacher and
the fairground, though no one dared to
venture on to the cake walk, and of
course the good old pub with real ale.
We now look forward to getting back
together as a whole group in September
so we can continue with our busy
calendar of meetings and events.

Hatfield Flyer Children’s Page Feature
Childcare Funding for 3 Year Olds
When your child turns 3 years of age they are entitled to a free nursery place in the term following their 3rd birthday. The government funds all local authorities to ensure that a free part time pre-school place is available to all families who have 3 and 4 year old children. This is called the Free Early Years Provision (FEYP). Small World Day Nursery is a registered provider of the FEYP and has been providing an excellent free early years education to 100’s of children since 2004. The nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which helps young children reach its early learning goals. The grant will allow a child to attend for 3 hours each day, 5 days a week, during term time. Due to the fact that Small World nursery is a private provider the FEYP can be accessed flexibly such as 5 hours a day for 3 days each week.
The FEYP is provided in the preschool facility at Small World Day
Nursery, in great hall of the original
barn at Townend Farm. There is
extensive equipment, activities and
toys to encourage the children’s
development through play. Politeness
and good manners are encouraged in
all children. Records are kept of
development in areas such as
personal and social development,
communication, language and literacy,
mathematics, knowledge and
understanding of the world, physical
and creative development.

Howzat! ‘The Difference’ is retiring! As a young lad growing up in a big family the summer holidays were understandably a time of great
fun and frolic. During those long hot days (they always were when we were kids I am sure) it would
be no surprise to mum and dad not to see much of their offspring as we enjoyed exploring the
countryside and getting up to all kinds of mischief. There was also an unwritten understanding that if we could join our friends for tea and get a free feed then this was classed as an added bonus. Don’t
get me wrong, the Wright clan were far from feral beasts, roaming the streets of Woodhouse
looking for free nosh, but passing up a genuine offer would be downright rude.
At that time of my life I hardly a refined connoisseur of fine dining and would have happily tucked
into Ken Smith’s sausages with homemade chips and covered in Oxtail soup on six of the seven days
of the week. In short, I was a fussy eater. Now before those who know me start questioning my
honesty in this tale let me explain. One evening my best friend Dean Fowler invited me to join him
and his extended family for supper – a gesture that was warmly appreciated after a hot day playing
football and an impromptu game of hide & seek at the village hall. I sat down and marvelled at the
wondrous smells emanating from his mum’s kitchen, salivating at the thought of free scran and the
pat on the back from my dad after foraging for myself. Sitting beside Dean’s Grandmother I cracked
a few funnies, told a few tall tales and basically made myself at home, something which was always
easy at the Fowler’s as they were such generous and hospitable hosts. Dean explained that his Gran
was having her “special supper” that evening so, trying to maintain the charm offensive, I declared
that if it was good enough for Dean’s Gran then it was good enough for me. I was flying without
wings, “well done my son,” I thought to myself this dinner party chit chat was easy.
Supper was served, looking and smelling like a million dollars and I wasted no time as I tucked into
what looked like an exotic beef stew. I’d nearly finished my plate and was already thinking of
seconds as I tried to catch my host’s eye and Mmm’ed my approval. It was at this point Dean’s
churlish grin caught my eye and he explained that Cow’s heart had always been his Gran’s favourite
tea-time treat! The realisation hit me like a shot of adrenalin as I rewound through a bowl of this
cow’s heart concoction. That’s right, cow’s heart. Not it’s rump or another more refined region, its
ticker. Suddenly my cutlery felt heavy as my brain began to fight back against my tastebuds who had
been duped. I suddenly realised that scrounging your supper sometimes took you to places you
didn’t expect. I finished my plate in silence, with a little less vigour than I had started before thanking
Dean’s mum “a lovely tea” but I had to head off as it was my turn to feed the goats. I cycled home
bemused at the thought of what I had consumed and vowing that in future when attempting to
muscle in on a free tea I would check the menu. I have remained friends with Dean over the years
and recently contacted him with a favour to ask (Something that is an occupational hazard when you
are a successful businessman). I explained how this year is my final season playing for Hatfield Town
Cricket Club and that I was now involved in helping the next generation of young cricketers. Yes, I
had the cheek to ask Dean and his family to sponsor the juniors for the purchase of some club
cricket caps and he very kindly offered to help.
Pictured are the Hatfield Town CC Under 13s proudly wearing these new club caps which were
presented to them at the recent Lads v Dads match. Although I have always avoided making my
articles obvious vehicles of promotion I must state that I was so happy when Fowlers offered to
sponsor these young lads and they deserve a huge thank you.
Over the last few years I have come to realise that I am no longer able to recover after a game
quite as quickly (by Thursday) as I used to and I always vowed that I would never become an old
man ignorant to the fact that it was time to let a younger, more enthusiastic and nimble, cricketer
take my place. Therefore on September 15th 2012 I intend to play my last competitive cricket match for Hatfield Town CC. This should be at home to Rothwell from Leeds and I sincerely hope I can go
out on a high and that the sun shines. I may help out on the odd occasion but I now aim to
concentrate on helping with the junior teams, fundraise for a new pavilion and become an umpire
for the club.

I am not one to crow but for a short fat bloke with no neck, over the last 30 years I have been one
hell of bowler for the HTCC. Taking over 120 wickets in the last 4 seasons in the Pontefract League,
having a bowling average of 5.1 in the 2008/09 season, a top score of 65 against Bawtry, best figures
of 9 for 23 and being part of league winning side on at least five occasions, I can look back with
pride. However, all things must come to an end and so I would now like to take this opportunity to
name my all-time top HTCC XI. Please do not be upset if you do not make it on to my list.
1) Andy Cutts (Skipper) 2) Christopher Stothard
3) Nicky Page 4) Darren Sides
5) Malc Griffin 6) Ellis Patterson
7) Steve Robins (Wk) 8) Jeff Dinsdale
9) Patrick Platt 10) Gary Mann
11) Darren Harper
Most of those listed will mean nothing to the vast majority of Arrow readers, I just wanted to have
the opportunity to pick my HTCC dream team. Special mention must go to John Severn, Alan Bar-
nes, Harry Eland, Ivor Richards and Neil Allen.
If any parents reading this article would like to run an Under 11’s cricket team next summer then I
would love to help out and make things run smoothly. Please get in touch and we can continue to
grow the junior section of the club. If anyone has won the lottery and needs an excuse to spend
some cash then I would love to help them build a new pavilion for the club. I would love nothing more than to see Hatfield with a thriving cricket club that the town can be proud of. Also congratu-
lations to Hatfield Main CC for getting to 100 years not out! I miss our derby games and hope that
one day they will return.
In the words of the great Vinny Jones “It’s been emotional”. And where else would you get to sit in
an away changing room discussing what special power you would choose if you could have one and
what cream buns would have as fingers with a group of so-called adults as the rain fell on the pavil-

HATFIELD WOODHOUSE AMATEUR
GARDENING SOCIETY (HWAGS)
In a different vein from the Society's usual type of meeting, a group of members
went to David Chappell's farm at Boston Park in mid July.
David took us on a tour of the farm, and told us about the environmental projects
that the farm are involved in. He took us down into the fields and showed us
how he is practising farm stewardship and the differences it is making to his land.
After the tour we went to see the rare breeds and finished off in the lovely new
tea room. The farm is now a tourist attraction with its Maize Maze (one of the
first in the country), Bale Pyramid, Mini Maze, as well as the rare breeds and
tearooms.
This was an extremely enjoyable and informative visit.
At the beginning of August we went to the second day of the Bakewell Show.
This is a very large Agricultural Show which takes place almost in the centre of
Bakewell. There was a multitude of of events going on in the two large Show
Rings, as well as many events in the marquees. Of particular interest to our
Society was the Bakewell Horticultural Society's Show, which features many
classes similar to those in our own Shows in Hatfield Woodhouse.
Despite a couple of very heavy showers in the afternoon, where everybody
suddenly found something to see in the marquees, we all enjoyed an excellent
day out.
The next BIG EVENT for the Society is the Autumn Show on Saturday 8
September at Hatfield Woodhouse Working Men's Club. The Show will be open
to the public at 2pm with the
presentation of trophies at about 3pm,
followed by the auction of unclaimed
exhibits.
But before that, we have the first
meeting of the the new season on
September 4 August, when our speaker
will be Lee Plevey of Plevey's Landscapes.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists
Dear readers,
Ice and Snow. Avoid driving in extremely wintry conditions, is any journey really worth the risk?
Only in extreme cases are motorways affected by settling snow. Usually snowploughs and gritter
lorries keep them clear. However, slip roads and hard shoulders don’t always get the same
treatment, so take extra care.
Also be aware that bridges are particularly susceptible to re-freezing and black ice.
In sub-zero conditions drive at a safe speed, allow extra braking distance and make extra smooth
steering and braking actions to avoid unsettling your vehicle.
If you have to travel in extreme conditions, ensure you have plenty of fuel, take a shovel, spare
warm clothes and other essential supplies like water to drink. In extreme winter conditions, drive as
if you are walking on eggs!
Stay in a high gear and don’t make any sudden inputs as these may cause a slide.
The left-hand lane carries most traffic, so is likely to be the most clear of snow and ice.
Stay there as much as possible. Do not put your wheels on, or try to drive through the lines of slush
and ice that collect between lanes.
Strong Winds. Cross winds and turbulence can severely unsettle your car and even change your
direction of travel. Prepare for strong, unsettling winds when you drive on to a flyover or viaduct
where protective embankments disappear. Driving past HGVs at speed has a similar effect. Be aware
of the effects of strong winds on motorcycles and other vehicles like high-sided lorries, vans and caravans. Give them a wide birth, plan your overtake away from the high risk conditions and
consider leaving the middle lane as a “buffer zone”. Take extra care when driving flat-sided vehicles
like vans, people carriers and 4x4s. Grip the steering wheel firmly and be ready to counter the
unsettling ‘deflection’ when you pass an HGV.
When changing lanes in poor weather look extra carefully in your mirrors for vehicles travelling
without lights on. As soon as conditions clear remember to turn off your fog lights. It’s an offence to
leave them on in good visibility or at night when your headlights would be adequate. Avoid over-use
of fog lights and driving lights. Their high-intensity beams may blind other road uses in clear
conditions.
Only use rear fog lights in extreme conditions as they can be dazzling and annoying. They might also
mask the fact that your brake lights have come on.
Be aware that fog lights may cancel when full-beam is used.
If you would like to take a Free Public Assessment Drive please contact me below.
This offer is available to all our Arrow readers
