Betty’s Comes to Finningley!
If you had wandered into Finningley Village Hall on
Wednesday 6th April you could have been forgiven
for thinking you were in a Betty‘s Tea Shop.
The selection of home made cakes certainly
rivalled their selection and what the smart
waitresses in their lacy aprons lacked in silver
service they made up for with their friendly
welcome and willingness to chat.
This was A Taste of Easter and for £2 you were
offered a pot of tea or coffee, a hot cross bun or
scone and a choice from an amazing array of home
made cakes and buns.
Thank you to everyone who helped, on the day
serving, clearing or washing up and for all the
baking. It was enjoyable, hard work which raised
over £800 for Finningley Church Funds.
Someone said they hoped they wouldn‘t have to
wait until next Easter, inspired by this success who
knows, watch this space?
The last flying Vulcan bomber has returned to its former Cold War base. The
iconic aircraft will spend the summer months based
at Robin Hood Airport, the former RAF Finningley
that was the home of the Vulcan in the 1960s.
The deal could be the first stage in the develop-
ment of a visitor centre that will eventually be
linked to a facility to inspire the next generation of
engineers and technicians. Vulcan to the Sky Trust
CEO Dr Robert Pleming said: ‗We are thrilled that
the last flying Vulcan has come home. We all feel
that something very special could be created here,
but I must emphasise that these are early days in
the discussions.‘

The Arrow and Petalsflorist would love to send
someone special a bouquet. Also, listen to Trax FM to hear
‗Someone Special‘ in the morning!
I would like to nominate my line manager Jane Christie to receive
This months Flowers for Someone Special.
This may seem strange to put forward your boss, but my boss has been there for me
though the very rough couple of months that I have just had and am still going
through. Writing letters on my behalf being there as my moaning person when I needed
to relieve some tension or throwing a tantrum lol. She‘s pulled me through with her
wisdom, help and funny sense of humour and most of all just by being her.
This is why I would like to put Jane forward to receive flowers from you as I think she
deserves them, for her kindness above and beyond her job role. Thankyou Jane xx

all in the
name of
charity!
On Friday 25th

and walked and
walked for Comic
Relief.
Chloe Forster (10),
Brooklyn Cook (11),
Rachel Burton (11)
Abigail Murray (11) and
Rachel Crowston (11)
walked around
Poppyfields Estate in
Branton 10 times with
a bucket and raised a
grand total of £230.
Brooklyn came up with
the idea to raise money
for this splendid charity
and all the girls helped
to organise the event.

Joseph Sidebottom wanted to raise
money to try to stop people dying from
cancer. He thought long and hard and
realised he needed to make some
sacrifice, therefore he had his much
loved long hair cut short on Thursday
7th April!
Joseph hopes to raise as much money as possible
and will donate it to the Weston Park Hospital in
Sheffield which is currently treating his Granddad.
Joseph‘s last count before going to print was
£1246.70! Thank you to Joseph‘s hair stylist, Jayne
Williams, owner of Flair Hairstylists in Branton
who had her salon taken over by lots of excited
children!!
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far to
this excellent hospital charity. Weston Park
Hospital in Sheffield which treats people suffering from Cancer is one of only three hospitals of it‘s
kind in the UK. The Weston Park Cancer Charity
has many projects it helps to fund. One such
project is maintaining a database which stores
details of every case of cancer recorded in the
country. This information is essential to the
research and development of treatments to help
both present and future cancer patients. There
are many smaller projects which directly impact
on the comfort of patients being treated at the
hospital.

For as long as I can remember I
have always been interested in all
kinds of bikes and have always had
the thought of running my own
cycling related business. I ride regularly, mainly challenge rides like the C2C
and other long distance routes, sportifs and the
lung busting LakeLand loop …. These I do with
family and friends as cycling really is the best way
to keep fit and spend quality time with people who
are special to you.
My wife Victoria and daughter Hattie, are also keen
cyclists, and have done a few C2C‗s, our daughter
did her first aged 12 over 4 days and was pretty
pleased with herself!
We are Foster Carers and we always introduce
the children we look after to cycling, seeing the
happy smiling faces of these kids either on their
first bike, on the child seat or in the trailer is
something really special and I hope something
positive they will have to look back on.
Well, after 20 fantastically enjoyable years working
in Sales Management, running sales teams and
selling great brands such as Heineken, Stella Artois,
Boddingtons working for celebrities such as Ken
Hom and Ainsley Harriot and more recently being
part of the UK coffee shop revolution managing a
business channel for Costa Coffee I decided to
leave it all behind me and start up myself …
following my heart before it‘s too late! So Bicycle
Buddy was created!!

News from Auckley Junior, Infant and Nursery School
Castleton Trip
Our year 5 children have recently carried out a residential trip to Castleton in Derbyshire
as part of their topic work on ‘Contrasting Locations’. They looked at the differences and
similarities between the
village of Castleton and
their own village of Auckley.
Whilst in Castleton the
children were able to take
part in many activities such
as gem panning, making their
own fossils and the famous
egg drop challenge. The
children also visited the
Treak Cliff Cavern where
mineral Blue John is still
mined. They thoroughly
enjoyed their visit and many
found the scenery
spectacular.
Buon giorno, from Auckley foundation team.
Children in the foundation unit are currently learning about Italy.
They have participated in many different
activities, some of these include talking
about Italian foods, making pizzas, spaghetti
and ice cream and making junk models of
famous building. We took inspiration from
the artist Da Vinci and painted portraits of
their friends. In maths we threaded
patterns with coloured pasta, played Italian
games, handled money in the ice -cream
parlour and learnt to count in Italian. In
literacy we have learnt some common Italian
words and used them when playing in the role
- play Italian restaurant. We have written
food orders and taken on different roles in a
busy kitchen. Outside we have constructed a
mini Grand prix. Children have understood
the importance of working as a team in the
pit stop and are using ordinal numbers after
a race.
Arrivederci

On the Wednesday of
the last week of term,
14 sixth form students
from the European
Society at Hayfield
School went to Auckley,
Branton, Hayfield Lane
and Bawtry primary
schools to teach Years 5
or 6 a little bit about
German Easter
traditions.
We started off by telling the
children how the Germans
celebrate Easter – the food they eat, the traditions they have, the things they make.
Then came the tricky bit... learning the German vocabulary. To our surprise, they learned the
German really quickly – and really well!
After this came the fun – the EGG DECORATING. Everyone got a hard-boiled dyed egg, and
decorated it however they chose. After a recap of the vocabulary, the children went out and had a
treasure hunt using their newly acquired vocabulary. They looked like they were having fun! At the
end of the session, the children came back in to collect a sticker and a mini Creme Egg... and that
was the end!
We hope they had as much fun as we did with them!
A huge THANK YOU to the Spar in Auckley for their donation of 108 eggs for the children to decorate.
Primary Schools at Easter!

Braking
Dear readers,
If you‘ve ever been in a nodding dog passenger in a car and got out feeling a bit queasy you‘ll know the
effects of ill-timed braking. Achieving a smooth, progressive and effective braking technique will make
every drive safer and more pleasurable for everyone involved.
Braking progressively and smoothly you must develop superb observation and anticipation skills, as this
allows you to begin braking earlier should any unexpected hazards arise. Effective braking is a skill that
requires practice. You should roll the pressure onto the brake pedal progressively; do most of the braking
in the middle phase; roll off the brake; again then select the best gear to make good progress. This
method always produces the smoothest drive.
Practice this technique by attempting to produce such a smooth drive that your passengers don‘t even
realise you are braking; decelerating gradually so that the nose of the car never dips. Well-timed braking
will usually make you faster from A to B. Take timing your arrival at a roundabout for example. Look well
ahead and asses the traffic on the roundabout, then time your arrival so that you don‘t have to stop. The
cars that sped past you as you were decelerating early, will be at a standstill trying to find first gear as you
slide past and get straight back on the accelerator.
Keep every drive as simple as possible by not over-
lapping braking steering and gear inputs.
Brake in a straight line.
Even with modern anti-lock brake systems (ABS), it
is always best to carry out any firm braking in a
straight line before making any steering changes. Any
racing driver will tell you that using your brakes in
the middle of a bend can upset the balance of the car
and affect its handling.
If a situation arises that requires mid-corner braking,
do so progressively to avoid locking the wheels. Vary
the brake pressure accordingly to the road surface
and conditions.

you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute
