Summer Time 

August means high summer with long sunny days and 

warm evenings with plenty of opportunities for getting 

the barbecues out. If you don’t have a barbecue or you 

don’t want to go to the trouble of getting it out, why not 

treat yourself by getting down to Manor Park over the 

August Bank Holiday and join in the celebration (page 5). 

It promises to be a great weekend for all ages with plenty 

of refreshments or you can even bring your own picnic. 

Saturday evening sounds very special but you will need to 

get tickets for that evening’s entertainment. 

I had the pleasure of attending Sundae Saturday in July 

(pages 24 and 25) where many residents came to sample 

the teas and ice creams while supporting a very good 

cause. The Greek philosopher, Epicurus, believed the 

prime good was pleasure; but the height of pleasure for 

Epicurus was to sit and converse with a friend in the back 

garden in the sun and, no doubt, with a nice cup of tea, 

if it had been available in 320 b.c. I’m with Epicurus on 

this one. 

Summer time is also a time for relaxing with a good book. 

The library network is working with the Reading Agency 

to encourage children to make use of our libraries (page 

20) so why not call into the library this month and see 

how new authors can excite a child’s imagination. 

There will be a temporary bus station in Lincoln staring 

sometime in August. We hear that it may start on Sunday 

14th but could not get confirmation of the date from 

Stagecoach (page 8). I’m sure all regular passengers will 

agree that a modern and more comfortable bus station is 

welcome; a little inconvenience now, however, is part of 

the price that we have to pay for it.

Stonecliff Park 

Hi there, to our webfooted, 

soggy-bottomed 

friends. You know, we 

haven’t heard much 

bleating about a water 

shortage this year, or even a rebate from 

the water boards! Funny, water comes 

up from the ground, or down from the 

heavens, as it did 80 plus years ago to my 

knowledge, but now it costs a devil of a 

sight more to fill your kettle than it did 

all those years ago. OK, so we had 

typhoid, cholera, mild and bitter, 

dandelion and burdock, sarsaparilla, but 

no Anglian Water or Severn Water 

creaming it off. Don’t you feel better for 

a good rant? 

On Tuesday 2nd August we are holding 

an evening of mediumship. This is always 

a popular event; entry is by ticket only 

from Marilyn on 862411. 

On Wednesday 3rd August there is a 

strong possibility of a challenge darts 

match between the gents and the ladies. 

No quarter will be given and no prisoners 

taken! 

We are holding a barbecue evening on 

Saturday 13th August ; 4pm for 5pm. 

The cost is £2 for members and £3 

for non-members; please show your

We have only a few seats left for the river 

Trent cruise, which includes lunch, on 

Saturday 20th August; the cost is £30 for 

members and £31 for non-members. 

We have one seat left for the Thursford 

Spectacular on Thursday 10th November. 

The time is rapidly approaching when I 

need payment for the tickets (£50 each, 

inclusive). I need to receive the money 

before 10th August to pay Thursford 

by the end of the month, and they don’t 

muck about. Cheques should be payable 

to ‘Stonecliff Park Social Club’ or cash 

(folding money!) to reach Derek at 149

Manor Park 

Celebration Weekend 

This year we celebrate the 30th Anniversary 

of Welton Football Club, originally 

Welton Boys FC but now fully inclusive 

with many girls playing. It’s also the 

20th anniversary of the official opening 

of Manor Park. This was performed in 

1996 by the Mayor of Moncé en Belin, 

Welton’s twinned village in France and 

an inaugural football match was played 

between representatives of Welton and 

Moncé. The trophy from that match is 

still on display at Manor Park, as is the 

official opening plaque. 

To celebrate both the football club and 

the community facilities at Manor Park, 

Welton Parish Council, the Welton Moncé 

Family Twinning Association and Welton 

Football Club have brought together a 

weekend of events for everyone to enjoy 

over the August Bank holiday weekend. 

This year it’s the turn of Moncé families to 

visit Welton and over 50 friends will travel 

across and join us for the Bank Holiday 

weekend. Everyone who played in 1996 

is a little older, so this year in conjunction 

with the Thursday Walking Football group 

we will replicate that inaugural match and 

stage an ‘International Walking Football 

Match’ between Moncé and Welton at 

11am on Sunday 28th August. If you’ve

never seen walking football why not come 

along and see what it’s all about. 

But the weekend starts on the Friday 

evening when there will be a free children’s 

disco for any children aged 6 to 14 years 

in the marquee at Manor Park. Then on 

Saturday between 11am and 4pm there 

will be a community fun day with bouncy 

castle, assault courses and human table 

football. Refreshments will be available 

but why not bring you own picnics and 

enjoy yourselves? 

Saturday evening also sees a special event: 

a two course hog roast meal with Live 

Band performing in the marquee and 

a licensed bar from 7pm. During the 

evening there will be a brief recognition of 

Welton Football Club’s 30th anniversary 

and it is hoped that many past and present 

players, managers and supporters will join 

in and re-unite. 

Tickets, priced at £19.86 each are available 

now from the Paper Shop, Terry Peachman

Genuine parties 

I was at a conference last week as the 

details of the new prime minister’s first 

cabinet were being announced. Some 

of my colleagues were reacting to the 

appointments with various emotions 

ranging from deep approval, through 

baffled amusement to despair. I can 

only guess at where they each were on 

the political spectrum but it did strike 

me that they must be far more clued 

up than me with regard to UK politics. 

I knew the members of parliament 

by name, but had no real idea about 

most of their track records, and didn’t 

feel able to express any meaningful 

opinion about their appointments 

to key government roles. Perhaps I 

should be better informed, I thought. 

I have never found current affairs TV 

programmes to be the most compelling 

viewing, but perhaps I should try harder 

to understand the extent of the possible 

implications of, say, a ‘Brexiteer’ being 

appointed Foreign Secretary. 

Of course, the whole question of the 

relationship between church and state 

has been a live topic for some time. Why 

should religion (more accurately, the 

Christian faith) have a place at the table 

of our national politics? It is an old 

adage that one should never mix politics 

and religion. Nevertheless, bishops sit in 

the House of Lords and speak and vote 


with their conscience. Some years ago, I 

knew a Christian MP who spoke of how 

difficult it is for him and his Christian 

colleagues of all parties to always vote 

in line with their beliefs, since they 

were always aware that their first duty 

is always to represent the wishes and 

opinions of their constituents, and the 

reality of thrashing out a workable policy 

sometimes necessitates compromise. 

Still, I for one am glad that they are 

there, in the midst of government, to 

represent not merely the views of the 

church, but the compassionate ideals 

of Christ. There are many Members of 

different faiths, and of none, who are 

motivated to work for a better society, 

and we need need every one of them. 

And this, I think, points to a more 

important reason to have the right 

people in the right government jobs, not 

because they will make decisions which 

agree with my personal political beliefs, 

but that they genuinely care and believe 

that they are using their influence to 

work towards a more just and caring 

society.

Men’s Breakfast 

These informal social events are 

organised by Welton and Dunholme

by approximately 10.15am. Men’s 

breakfast is normally held on the third 

Saturday of each month. The next one 

will be on the 20th August. Anyone 

interested, should contact John Ryland 

(860823) or David Wilson (861461).

Temporary Bus Station 

A leaflet has been taped to the bus shelter 

on Welton Green and is available from 

the Parish Office and council offices in 

Lincoln. 

It explains what will happen to the 

buses as they go in and out of Lincoln 

once the temporary bus station starts 

operating from Tentercroft Street. There 

isn’t actually a start date given for this in 

the leaflet, but bus drivers have been told 

the date of Sunday 14th August, or in 

the case of Welton, Monday 15th as we 

have no buses on Sunday. They admit 

this may slip but it should definitely be 

in operation by the end of the month. 

People can get off all buses coming in 

from the north of the city on Broadgate 

as usual, and there is a free shuttle 

service to take you across the railway 

line to and from Tentercroft Street, 

should you want to go to the station 

itself, using the ticket you came in with.

The buses which pick up in Welton – 

nos. 11, 12 and 53 – will use Stand I in 

a row starting at A and going through 

to P. 

Most of the city centre bus stops will 

not be in use, including those on Silver 

Street, but there will be an additional 

new stop outside the entrance to the old 

bus station on Broadgate. This is where 

it is anticipated passengers travelling 

on all outbound routes to the north of 

the city will be picked up, including the 

Welton services of nos. 11, 12 and 53. 

Southbound passengers will be picked 

up from opposite Debenhams on St. 

Mark’s Street or the usual stop on the 

High Street near the Court building. 

The NEWS asked Stagecoach if we could 

publish their leaflet but they refused, 

saying that it was an interim publication 

and a definitive one will be coming out

Well, I did manage to keep a watchful 

eye on the two chrysalis that were in 

our new bug hutch. The first one to 

emerge was a silver ‘Y’ moth which 

took about an hour to sort itself out 

and fly off; it is one of very few dayflying 

moths that we have in the UK. 

The second was another moth which 

is named quite aptly as the ‘Orange 

under wing’. As a furled up moth it is a 

brown, speckly thing but when it opens 

its wings it has beautiful bright orange 

rear wings under the front wings; hence 

its name. 

Any form of study of moths can be 

quite exasperating unless you intend 

to collect samples, which is not 

recommended as they disintegrate quite 

quickly into a scaly dust. Another snag 

is that there are thousands of species 

and sub-species, and a lot come under

the terms of LBJs (little brown jobs) or 

MSJs (middle sized jobs) as no-one has 

managed to track down each and every 

moth and give it a name or scientific 

name. The larger moths are less of a 

problem. The moon moth, the various 

hawk moths, even as caterpillars, are 

quite spectacular as they give an aura 

of ‘keep off, don’t eat me’ by their 

colouring and shapes. Some are hideous 

and none can be called beautiful at the 

larval or chrysalis stages. When they are 

moths they have, in general, very short 

lives. Their main object is to find a mate 

so they have to look very attractive to 

other moths of the same species but of 

different sex, of course. Nothing mixed 

up here about what gender they are. 

Some of these moths have no mouth 

parts to feed while some have proboscis 

to feed with, but no mouth parts; 

unlike their forever hungry caterpillars, 

which tend to be eating machines. The

metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar 

to chrysalis to moth is an amazing feat. 

In each stage there is a sac or external 

covering containing bodily fluids, 

which changes to a chrysalis with even 

more but different fluids, then when the 

time is right those fluids emerge into 

spectacular flying insects. The changes 

are more than miraculous, if you have 

time to stand and stare, or watch it on 

YouTube as many do these days. 

I am off on a short break down and 

around the mid-west near to Shrewsbury 

and Telford, where, rumour has it, 

the local authorities have got their 

heads together and have a contractor 

that takes off the grass (and weed) 

sward at the sides of the roads, all 

of them twice in the season. The cut 

vegetation is collected and taken to a 

local biomass burner to make electricity 

and a portion of the money made 

from the process comes back to the 


local authorities. What a good idea! 

That guarantees a clean cut with no 

mowings to block up the surface water 

drains and the community gains by 

getting some money back from the 

scheme. No-one took up the idea of 

planting roundabouts and grass verges 

at junctions with wild flower seeds and 

by reducing the number of mowings 

making these junctions really beautiful 

as they do in the Cotswolds. One small 

area in Scothern has been seeded this 

way. It will look a lot better after the 

second seeding when it will sustain 

itself as the Cotswold verges have done 

now for some five years or more. 

The William Farr Woods saga is still 

very much on-going. There are many 

voices in protest at what the school 

has done and the general feeling is that 

we have been robbed of a community 

asset and a rural park and nature 

reserve all in one. I am being helped

Council in applying for a review of 

the woods and their status to try to 

claw back some access to this wood 

which, in its way, is a memorial to the 

twelve aircraft and crews that crashed 

during the Second World War in both 

Dunholme and Welton parishes. Some 

of the crews died and some were very 

seriously injured and there were also 

four German Luftwaffe crew members 

who were killed in this time. The woods 

cover quite a large area of the old RAF

and as such should be preserved as a 

memory to those airmen and airwomen 

of all countries that were killed and 

injured in our parishes. I rest my case.

Walking my dog, picking up after her 

and binning it comes easy in Welton as 

we are well provided for with the doggie 

bins which have lids on to contain it 

all. 

Some of the doggie bins are right next 

to the litter bins. I have noticed purely 

by the terrible smell and flies gathering 

round the litter bin, that there are a lot 

of people not bothering to lift the lid on 

the doggie bins and just putting the dog 

bags in the litter bins. 

Come on! You are good enough to clean 

up after your dog so please put a lid on 

it! 

Think of the poor fella that has to empty 

them too.

While I hope Emma Killjoy’s comment 

regarding people’s bodies in summer was 

written in jest, it saddens me to think 

humour must be found at the expense 

of others. Wouldn’t it be lovely for us as 

a community to celebrate each other’s 

differences and insecurities rather than 

use them as a punch line?

Dear Editor 

I don’t quite understand the need to 

relocate our library. I assume that our 

Co-operative shop is, notionally, the 

common property of the individuals 

who shop there and that the library 

is a common service for much the 

same people. Cannot we, the people, 

tell our notional employees and actual 

representatives to stop wasting their time 

and our money creating more unsuitable 

space and work out the added cost, 

if any, for keeping things just as they 

are? Unless, of course, someone had a 

better use in mind for the existing space 

occupied by the library, in which case I 

must have missed the announcement.

Dear Editor 

On 4th July, I attended a meeting of 

West Lindsey District Council (WLDC). 

In accordance with the provisions of the 

council constitution I took advantage of 

a little-used facility to put a question to 

council. Questions have to be received a 

week before the meeting, they have to be 

less than a hundred words, and they are 

distributed internally so that a response 

can be formulated. 

In my question, I pointed out that at the 

extraordinary meeting of council on the 

question of devolution, the leader of the 

council had made reference to Cornwall 

and Greater Manchester. I asked if this 

was a sensible comparison in the context 

of a Greater Lincolnshire. In his response 

the leader denied making a comparison; 

but went on to say that the Greater 

Manchester authority was in receipt of 

£11.78 per head of population, whilst 

a Greater Lincolnshire would stand to 

receive £13.63 per head of population. 

As he saw it, this was a good deal for 

Lincolnshire.

Under council procedure, the questioner 

has no right of reply. However, if I had 

been allowed to reply I would have pointed 

out that the population of a Greater 

Lincolnshire is just over one million, whilst 

the population of Greater Manchester 

is well over two and a half million. As 

a consequence Greater Manchester will 

receive £30 million a year, and a Greater 

Lincolnshire will receive £15 million. 

Is that really a better deal for Greater 

Lincolnshire? 

Greater Manchester is made up of ten 

metropolitan boroughs of equal standing, 

and has been evolving since 2011. Greater 

Lincolnshire is made up of ten disparate 

authorities which will continue to exist 

as two unitary authorities, one county 

council, one city council, one borough 

council, and five district councils, which 

are supposed to come together under an 

elected mayor and cabinet in a matter of 

months. 

It is, of course a specious argument; but 

if we follow the WLDC leader’s logic of 

per capita values, West Lindsey would 

be eligible for an investment of an extra 

£1.2m per year; of which Gainsborough 

would be eligible to receive an extra £300k 

a year, and Welton would be eligible to 

receive an extra £68k per year; rather less 

than an elected mayor would expect to 

receive.

Dear Editor 

I wonder how residents feel about being 

plunged into the dark at midnight? Not 

all roads have their lights switched off 

but do residents know that if they have 

a complaint they have to get in touch 

with Lincolnshire County Council not 

West Lindsey District Council? 

I know that the council has got to 

save money but for the sake of safety 

perhaps instead of switching every light 

off it would be better to switch off 

every other one. We have now had to 

put lights outside our own house to feel 

a bit safer. I’m sure that many other

Plans for the autumn fayre are now well 

under way. At the time of writing we 

still have a couple of tables to hire for 

a cost of £10 each. These are for you 

to sell your own items either for your 

chosen charity or for yourself. If you 

are interested please contact either Roy 

Minnitt (860980) or myself (862570) as 

soon as possible. We try to get a good 

mix of outlets to give everyone a chance 

to make sales and, for this reason, 


anyone showing interest during August 

will be contacted during September to 

confirm whether or not we have a table 

available for them. The only exclusions 

are cake and food stalls as we have our 

own cake stall and café to raise funds 

for the PDA. 

We are now looking for bric-a-brac, 

books, CD’s and records along with 

bottles for the bottle stall, tombola 

items etc. Raffle tickets are now on 

sale at the Health Centre dispensary, 

Taylor’s Pet Foods and the Paper Shop 

and from all PDA drivers and committee 

members. We already have some 

excellent prizes promised and more is 

sure to follow. Among those already 

donated are a handcrafted oak coffee 

table, valued at £400, donated by Chris 

Sharp Cabinets, a 42” HD TV donated 

by Chestnut Homes Ltd, a starter fish 

tank kit donated by Perry Aquatics of 

Dunholme and a luxury food and drink

hamper. There is also afternoon tea for 

two, whisky, hand crafted wooden salt 

and pepper grinder; the list goes on. 

We will be selling tickets on the ’flu 

injection Saturday surgeries when the 

dates are published so please bring some 

money with you! We are also hoping to 

be selling tickets in the Co-op during 

September; date to be arranged. 

We still have our eBay account selling 

on our behalf so if you have anything 

you think might be saleable and that 

you would like to donate, please get in 

touch. 

Looking ahead, the PDA AGM will 

be held on Thursday 27th October 

starting at 7.30pm in the Health Centre 

waiting room. There will be a short 

business meeting during which the 

committee for the coming year will be 

elected. The various areas of the PDA, 

financials, transport, fund raising etc 

will each present a short report of the 


previous twelve months business and 

the audited accounts will be available to 

view. We then have a short talk, usually 

given by a doctor (more information in 

September’s NEWS) and the evening 

will end with tea, coffee and biscuits. 

It would be really good to see a few, or 

even a lot, of you there to show your 

support for the PDA. The committee 

works very hard in the background 

providing support to the practice and 

we would welcome as many as possible 

to our AGM. The meeting usually lasts 

around two hours. 

Dates for your diary: Autumn Fayre, 

22nd October; Christmas Lunch, 9th 

December. These events all take place in 

the village hall and more details will be 

in future editions of the NEWS.

on any of the above don’t hesitate to 

give me a call.

library network since 1999, the Summer 

Reading Challenge is the UK’s biggest 

annual reading promotion for children 

aged 4 to 11. 

The Summer Reading Challenge offers 

free access to books in the library during 

the summer holidays. Throughout the 

challenge, library volunteers will support 

the children, helping them to discover 

new authors and to explore a wide range 

of different types of books and ways of 

reading. 

How does the challenge work? Children 

sign up at the library and receive the 

Big Friendly Read collector folder. They 

can then borrow and read at least six 

library books of their own choice during 

the summer, collecting special cards to 

complete their folder and rewards along 

the way. Library volunteers are on hand 

FAMILY LAW SPECIALISTS 

• Children • Divorce 

• Financial Settlements • Marriage 

Breakdown • Mediation 

• Relationship Breakdown 


to advise and children who complete 

the Summer Reading Challenge will be 

presented with a certificate. 

It’s fun, free and local! 

Call in to the village library for more 

information or to register. 

It is hoped to arrange some more 

summertime activities and story time 

sessions in the library so look out for 

posters or on the library page of the 

website for more details and information:

Money Matters 

New State Pension 

The state pension changed on 6th April 

2016. If you reach state pension age on or 

after that date, you’ll now receive the new 

state pension under the new rules. The 

aim of the new state pension is to make it 

simpler to understand, but there are some 

complicated changeover arrangements 

which you need to know about if you’ve 

already made contributions under the 

previous system. 

For many retired people, the state 

pension forms the core of their retirement 

income, together with any workplace or 

personal pension provision that they 

have. The new state pension is a regular 

payment that you can claim if you reach 

state pension age on or after April 2016. 

You will receive the new state pension 

if you’re eligible and a man born on or 

after 6 April 1951, or a woman born 

on or after 6 April 1953. If you reached 


state pension age before 6 April 2016, 

you’ll receive the state pension under 

the old rules. You can still get a state 

pension if you have other income such 

as a personal pension or a workplace 

pension. 

The basic and additional state pensions 

have been replaced by a flat-rate, singletier 

new state pension with a full level 

of £155.65 per week in 2016/17, and 

depending on your personal circumstances 

this may be subject to tax. Your national 

insurance record is used to calculate your 

new state pension, and you’ll usually 

need ten qualifying years to get any new 

state pension. 

For ten years, at least one or more 

of the following must have applied 

to you: you were working and paid 

national insurance contributions; you 

were receiving national insurance credits, 

for example, due to unemployment, 

sickness or as a parent or carer; you

22 


were paying voluntary national insurance 

contributions. 

If you’ve lived or worked abroad, you 

may still be able to get some new state 

pension. You may also qualify if you’ve 

paid married women’s or widow’s 

reduced rate contributions, but you’ll 

need 35 qualifying years to get the full 

new state pension. 

The amount you receive can be higher 

or lower depending on your national 

insurance record, and it will only be 

higher if you have over a certain amount 

of additional state pension. You don’t 

have to stop working when you reach 

state pension age, but you’ll no longer 

have to pay national insurance, and 

you can also request flexible working 

arrangements. 

Deferring the new state pension means 

that you may receive extra state pension 

when you do claim it. The extra amount 

is paid with your state pension (for 

example, every four weeks) and may be

taxable. Deferring your state pension 

could affect your other benefits and tax 

credits. You’ll need to defer for at least 

nine weeks –your state pension will 

increase by 1% for every nine weeks you 

put off claiming. This works out at just 

under 5.8% for every full year you put 

off claiming. After you claim, the extra 

amount you get because you deferred will 

usually increase each year. The rules for 

deferring are the same if you live in the 

EU and EEA, Gibraltar or Switzerland, 

or a country with which the UK has a 

social security agreement with. 

There are different rules if you live in 

another country. The extra amount you 

get for deferring is calculated by taking 

your state pension rate at the time you 

reach state pension age, or when you 

move abroad. The extra amount also 

won’t increase after you claim. You can 

claim your new state pension even if you 

carry on working. However, you have 

the option to defer which can increase

the amount you get. If you’re eligible 

for a state pension from the Isle of Man, 

you’ll need to claim it separately from 

your new UK state pension. 

On 6th April 2016, these rules changed so 

that if you were contracted out you’ll no 

longer be contracted out, and you’ll pay 

more national insurance (the standard 

amount). 

The new system sees the end of the 

additional state pension: the State Second 

Pension (S2P) and the previous version, 

the State Earnings-Related Pension 

Scheme (SERPS). You should check your 

previous payslips to see if you have 

been contracted out. You will have been 

contracted out if the national insurance 

contributions line has the letter D or N 

next to it, and remain contracted in if it 

has a letter A. If there’s a different letter, 

you should check this with your employer 

or pension provider. You will have paid 

national insurance at a lower rate if you 

were contracted out. However, if you

were contracted out through a personal 

pension plan, the full rate of national 

insurance would have been paid, with 

a rebate being paid by the government 

to the pension provider. You’re more 

likely to have been contracted out if you 

worked in the public sector, for example, 

the NHS, local councils, fire services, the 

civil service, teaching, police forces or 

the armed forces. Up to April 2012, it 

was possible for people to contract out 

through their own individual private 

pension plan if they weren’t already a 

member of a contracted out occupational 

scheme.

extra payment on top of your new state 

pension if you’re widowed, but you 

will not be able to inherit anything if 

you remarry or form a new registered 

civil partnership before you reach state 

pension age.

Sundae Saturday 

Warm but overcast, the odd droplet 

of rain couldn’t stop the enjoyment of 

Sundae Saturday at 16 Ryland Road on 

16th July. There was a delightfully wide 

range of gift and cake stalls as well as 

tombola, face painting and guessing the 

calories in a chocolate cake which the 

latter promised to put 1,000 calories on 

me just by looking at it. And when one 

had finished browsing all the stalls there 

was still time for a refreshing tea or some 

cooling ice-cream. 

The afternoon was organised by Linda 

and Peter McCree assisted by their 

friends at the Methodist Church and was 

in aid of Action for Children, a children’s 

charity committed to helping the most 

vulnerable and neglected children and 

young people so they can achieve their 

full potential. 

The ‘calorie cake’ was declared to 

contain 12,953 calories and the prize for 

guessing was won by Alun Evans. The 


event raised £624, so thanks go to all 

who helped and supported such a very 

worthwhile cause.

Health Centre 

Following recent feedback from patients 

we would like to clarify the position re 

our acute clinics which are held each 

weekday morning. The doors open at 

8am (this used to be later but was 

changed as a result of feedback and 

to allow patients to wait within the 

building rather than outside). The clinic 

does not start at 8am; doctors arriving 

in the practice have to deal with test 

results and other correspondence which 

arrive electronically overnight and may 

require urgent action before commencing 

surgery. 

These sessions commence at 8.30am 

each morning and bookings are accepted 

until 10am on a Monday and until 

9.15am Tuesday to Friday. This facility 

offers the opportunity to consult with 

a clinician without the need to book 

an appointment and is intended to deal 

with acute problems and minor illnesses, 

not on-going disease monitoring or 

chronic conditions. If a patient attends 

and is feeling very ill or has significant 

pain the receptionist should be advised 

immediately so that they can prioritise 

care appropriately. Due to time pressures 

it may not be possible to deal with more 

than one problem and a booked slot is 

advised if this is thought to be required. 


Patients are allocated equally between 

all clinicians working the acute clinic 

and staff manage these lists to ensure 

that delays are kept to a minimum. We 

are unable to offer a choice of doctor 

and if this is important then a booked 

appointment should be made. Not all 

doctors are available to consult at the 

acute clinic but where possible if a female 

or male is specifically requested we will 

try and accommodate. Confusion can 

occur when some patients appear to 

walk straight in and see the doctor whilst 

others have waited for some time but it is 

important to note that pre-booked clinics 

and nursing clinics are running alongside 

this service and therefore some patients 

are not booked into the acute clinic but 

actually have an appointment slot. 

We are aware that we cannot please 

everyone but over the years we have 

altered the timing and how we run these 

clinics as a result of listening to what 

patients ask for. We will continue to 

consider all suggestions for improvement 

and provide feedback as to whether 

we are able to respond positively or 

otherwise. 

We are pleased to offer appointments 

and advice for patients travelling abroad. 

Some immunisations are available on 

the NHS but others are only given on 

a private basis and therefore a charge 

will be made for these services. We are

Planning We are still awaiting the outcome 

of our bid for developing the surgery site 

into what is currently the library building 

and hope to know whether this is a 

possibility by the end of July. For the sake 

of clarity, the amounts of money which 

are mentioned in planning applications 

(under Section 106) which go “to the 

NHS” are not monies paid to the practice 


(as heard tell!). These monies can only 

be accessed via NHS England who are 

responsible for the overall planning of 

services to patients and therefore for 

prioritising the spending of these funds. 

Our Nurse Practitioner, Gillian Baker, 

has decided to retire from the practice 

in mid-August and is looking forward to 

spending some time doing all those things 

she never found the time to do! Gill is 

well known to many of our patients and 

has been with the practice since joining 

as a Practice Nurse in March 2001. 

She has developed and defined her own 

role, qualifying as a nurse practitioner 

and independent prescriber, leading the 

nursing team for many years, and has 

worked tirelessly to raise standards and 

improve the overall quality of care for 

patients. Gill will be greatly missed by 

patients and staff alike but we wish her 

all the very best in her well-deserved 

retirement.

ST. MARY’S CHURCH NEWS 

Looks like rain! 

“Yes, but you’re still charging £3.50 a 

pint for it!” as the old gag goes. I know 

we need the rain, but I am heartily fed 

up with getting wet every time I venture 

into the garden. The ‘Gardeners’ Hokee- 

Kokee’ (you get your lawn-mower out, 

you put your lawn-mower in; you know 

the rest!) every time the heavens open 

has lost its novelty value and the jungle 

that was once the front lawn could 

be hiding anything from giraffes to 

dinosaurs, though mercifully the most 

exciting critter discovered to date was a 

large, slightly surprised, frog. 

I enjoy my garden, though I wouldn’t 

presume to call myself a gardener. 

I’m more of a weed-worrier, but I can 

dream. I sometimes think gardening 

is God’s way of keeping me out of 

trouble at weekends by finding work 

for my idle hands before anybody else 

does! Certainly gardening is the first 

job mentioned in the Bible: The Lord 

God took the man and put him in the 

Garden of Eden to till it and keep it 

(Genesis 2.15). 

After a long day working in the garden, 

there is something satisfying about 

sitting on a bench, smelling the lavender 

and listening to the bees. Sadly, as we 

put up our brollies, yet again, we must 

remember that our ‘green and pleasant 

land’ is entirely dependent upon the 

rain; without it, the wonderful green 

spaces around us quickly become dry 

and parched. 

Mind you, it is possible to have far 

too much of a good thing. Noah and 

his family knew only too well the 

devastation caused by ‘forty days and 

nights’ of rain and I am certain that all 

those elsewhere affected by the terrible 

flooding of recent winters have a fair 

idea, too. However, we can take heart 

from Scripture. After the waters had 

receded, leaving Noah literally ‘high 

and dry’, God gave His unconditional 

promise never again to flood the Earth: 

“I establish my covenant with you, that 

never again shall all flesh be cut off by 

the waters of a flood, and never again 

shall there be a flood to destroy the 

earth.” (Genesis 9.11) 

The rainbow, of course, serves to remind 

us of that promise. 

Water is absolutely vital - ask any 

farmer - and so we should remember 

to give thanks to God for both the rain 

and the life that it brings. However, it 

is also good to celebrate the beauty of 

creation, which is all around us if only 

we trouble to stop and look. We offer 

thanks every autumn for our harvests,

ut what about the rest the year? God 

has gifted us this beautiful place in 

which to live, to sustain ourselves and 

to enjoy; He knows our needs and He 

provides for us. He has entrusted us 

with His precious creation but our time 

here is short and we should remember 

that we are its stewards, not its owners. 

We have a responsibility to God, to His 

creation and to our own descendants 

to use His gifts wisely; not to squander 

them thoughtlessly, wantonly or 

selfishly. The challenge to all of us is 

to use God’s gifts as He intended, not 

to waste them and ultimately, when 

we are called home, to leave no lasting 

mark other than in the memories of 

those who have known us. 

Have a nice summer. By the time you 

read this I am sure everything will 

have dried up, the sun will be out and 

everybody will be moaning about the 

heat! Meanwhile, I’m off to get the 

washing in again. 

God bless,

Babies and Buggies Service 

Since January, St Mary’s Church has 

been holding a monthly service for babies 

and buggies; that is, a service for babies, 

toddlers and their carers. The 30 minute 

service, in an informal and child friendly 

setting, has been great fun. The children 

are free to run around and play with 

their toys at the same time as the short 

service takes place. The services, aimed 

at both children and adults, started at the 

beginning: God’s world; God’s creation. 

The children were asked to help pin 

pictures of animals, flowers and people 

on a board representing the world. 

We then followed our theme of God’s 

world, God’s creation with the story of

Noah’s Ark, the children helping to pin 

up pictures of the ark and the animals 

entering two by two, together with 

Noah’s family. This led into our theme 

of the seeds, flowers and trees needed by 

Noah to start again after the great flood. 

The children then planted seeds to take 

home to care for and nurture. 

For the following three services we 

explored people who help us and those 

we help and how Noah’s family helped 

after the flood. We discussed how those 

around us provide us with care and 

emotional support, our need to help each 

other and how Jesus helps us. Having 

previously explored people in our lives, 

we looked at the tools they use and their 

purpose. We then discussed the tools 

God gives us to live our lives. From here 

we discussed the actions of people and 

how actions such as prayer can bring us 

closer to Jesus. In all of these services the 

children have been encouraged to take 

part in practical activities. 

Our July meeting was a teddy bears’ 

picnic which was fun and enjoyed by all. 

We will be holding further services over 

the next six months and the dates will be 

published next month. I do hope you will 

come and join us, whether young or not 

so young. Everyone is welcome.

Hackthorn School 

Some of you may remember a time when 

summer was a time for outdoor activities 

in fine weather in the run-up to the end 

of the school year. Times have changed 

in recent years and we now consider 

ourselves very fortunate to enjoy school 

sports day outside and on the day it was 

originally planned. This year, despite the 

best attempts of the weather, was one of 

those increasingly, rare occasions. A great 

time was had by all (although there were 

one or two grown-ups who might have 

something to say about that, after the 

three legged race!). 

Key Stage 2 celebrated the 400th 

anniversary of one William, bard of 

Stratford, by staging a production of 

‘Shakespeare Rocks!’ to packed audiences 

over two nights. In fact, we had to turn 

people away on the second night, such 

was the demand for last minute tickets 

after some rave reviews of the first night 

on social media! Funnily enough, the 

weather managed to interfere on the 


opening night, when an almost biblical 

downpour attempted to drown out our 

young thespians. 

Once again, our children excelled at 

welcoming the newcomers who arrived 

on ‘move-up day’ when everyone had a 

preview of next term and our ranks were 

swelled by a larger than usual influx of 

pre-schoolers, who were already looking 

well settled in by the end of the day. One 

of the highlights of their day was the 

release of the newly hatched butterflies, 

which key stage 1 had been looking after 

as part of their learning about minibeasts. 

And that’s what it’s all about: Nurture, 

the last ‘letter’ of the ‘Hackthorn Way’, it 

makes you feel safe, which helps you feel

Welton Village Hall Trust 

July saw an exciting new venture for the 

village hall as, for the first time, it was 

transformed with internal drapes to make 

it a stunning wedding venue. 

With the help of Keymarque, a specialist 

marquee and events company, and some 

minor internal alterations to the building, 

the village hall is now able to offer the 

draping service at very competitive rates 

for celebrations of all kinds. The photo on 

page 33 demonstrates the transformation 

that can be achieved; all the style of an 

outdoor venue with all the benefits of 

staying indoors. Of course, the village 

hall also offers excellent parking for those 

who need it, village centre convenience for 

local guests and the knowledge that the 

proceeds go to supporting an important 

village asset. If you have a family ‘do’ 

coming up why not contact Bookings 

Secretary Jill Brown for a quote (the 

contact details are at the back of this 

issue); we think you will be pleasantly 

surprised.

The village hall’s importance to Welton 

is clear but the Trustees were slightly 

bemused recently by the parish council’s 

application to register it as a community 

asset with West Lindsey District Council, 

effectively putting a local charge on the 

property. In principle the community asset 

registration procedure is an important 

measure to protect community buildings 

and open spaces that might otherwise 

be sold off for other uses, but neither 

the trustees nor Community Lincs, the 

umbrella group for village halls in the 

county, can see a clear rationale for its 

application to a property that is owned 

under trust for community use and whose 

use is carefully controlled. The trustees 

are seeking further information from the 

parish council as to what it hoped to 

achieve. 

Don’t forget; the village hall is your 

building. There’s lots going on there for 

everyone but still space and time for 

anything new you might have planned.

LIVES First Responder 

I recently attended a meeting with a 

responder from another group who had 

attended a 999 call made by a young 

child in respect of their parent who was 

suffering an emergency health problem. 

The child did have the majority of the 

details in this instance but if you are 

a parent, or look after someone else’s 

children, it’s worth asking if they would 

be able to provide the same for you. 

Often adults with an underlying health 

condition such as asthma, diabetes or 

the like do ensure their children know 

how to call for help and what details 

may be needed. If this is you, have you 

thought about this? 

But of course it’s not just those with 

a known condition; circumstances can 

dictate that the unexpected can occur 

to anyone. So do you care for a young 

child that one day may need to get care 

for you, would they know who to phone 


and how to do it? Would they know 

your proper name, not just mummy or 

daddy or granny/granddad? Would they 

know the address or at least be able to 

give general details of where they are? If 

you have a health problem, would they 

know when you are in trouble and when 

to phone and what to tell the emergency 

services? 

Just some food for thought, as clearly 

you would want to avoid causing 

unnecessary concern, but a clear and 

factual discussion may be a good starting 

point based on your knowledge of the 

child or children involved. 

Finally this month: a thank you goes to 

all those who leave their change in one 

of our collecting tins around the village. 

The pennies and pounds add up over the 

year and I am now able to get foreign 

coins changed, some of which I find in 

the tins, so further adding to our funds.

Family Twinning Association 

The vote for Brexit doesn’t change a 

thing! Welton and our twinned village of 

Moncé en Belin will still enjoy a healthy 

twinning relationship; our link is more 

than politics, it’s friendship, and over 

August Bank Holiday weekend we will 

host 48 family twinners. This year they will 

be accompanied by four councillors from 

Moncé demonstrating the new Mayor of 

Moncé’s wish to also strengthen the link 

between the councils. 

They will arrive on Friday evening to a 

reception in the Manor Park pavilion, 

giving us the opportunity to celebrate the 

20th anniversary since Michel Freslon, then 

the Mayor of Moncé, opened the facility 

with an international football match. 

On the evening of Saturday 27th we’ve 

joined up with the junior football club, 

who are celebrating their 30th anniversary 

this year, to hold a hog roast as well as 

a live band. Tickets are now available 

from the Paper Shop priced at £19.86 

(the club was formed in 1986 if you were 

wondering!)

As part of our aim to raise awareness 

of our twinning with Moncé we took a 

promotional stand along to the Sports 

and Social Club’s Fun Day. Displaying 

information and photographs of Moncé 

and our association, alongside some 

wonderful work by pupils of St Mary’s 

Academy, we also offered tastings of wine, 

local to the Moncé area, and French 

cheese. 

The association is open to residents of 

Welton, Dunholme and surrounding areas. 

If you want to find out more about what we 

do, including the developing link between 

St Mary’s Academy and the school in

Advertising 

The Welton NEWS is a great way to 

get your message across to a wide and 

growing readership. Unlike some other 

publications that go straight into the bin 

because they contain little of interest, 

the Welton NEWS is widely read and 

adverts are noticed and remembered. 

So if you are in business and want 

to increase your sales why not use 

an outlet that gives real value for 

money and where you can be confident 

that your advert will be noticed. You 

can advertise in the Welton NEWS 

for as little as £5.25 a month. To 

see what advertising in the Welton 

NEWS can do for you, why not contact 

our Advertisement Manager, Penny

Affordable homes support 

LOCALITY (the national network 

of community-led organisations) and 

NALC (National Association of Local 

Councils) are urging local (parish and 

town) councils to help tackle the housing 

crisis by encouraging local communities 

to build their own homes. 

A new scheme, called the Early Stage 

Support Programme, http://locality. 

org.uk/projects/communityled-housing/ 

early-stage-support/ has been launched 

by LOCALITY using funding from 

the Nationwide Foundation, which will 

assist 22 groups with starting up their 

own community-led housing projects to 

provide affordable homes for locals. 

NALC is urging town and parish councils, 

if they are aware of such local interest, 

to encourage any community groups to 

apply for the grant programme, which 

will provide one-to-one assistance from 

experts and guidance on such things as 

choosing what type of legal structure is 

best to carry a project forward and how 

to seek further funding. 

If you know of such a group in your 

community, or have been working 

closely with local residents on the need 

for more affordable local housing, please 

point them in the direction of the links 

above. The deadline for applications for 

this grant pot is 12th August 2016.

Talent on display at 

William Farr 

Last month art and photography A 

Level students at William Farr held their 

annual end of year exhibition. A total of 

23 students exhibited their work, which 

demonstrated skills acquired in a range 

of media and materials over the two 

years of their course. The end of term 

also marks an important milestone for 

their teacher, Christiane Mochan, who 

will be retiring from teaching after 39 

years (see photo on page 40). 

Christiane told me that the course 

requires students to hone their basic 

skills in painting and drawing but also 

encourages them to experiment. A 

number of the pieces took inspiration 

from contemporary artists and 

craftspeople and Christiane explained 

that students are encouraged, wherever 

possible, to make contact with other 

artists and to make use of their advice 

and guidance. In the end, though, the 

work must be identifiably that of the 

student, demonstrating their own take 

on what they have learned. 

While a number of the students are hoping 

to go on to further art-related studies, 

some will be moving on to university 

courses in other disciplines. Christiane 

believes that, for these students, studying

art at A level will bring important benefits. 

She said that the study and practice of art 

uses different parts of the brain; there 

are no right or wrong answers but the 

emphasis is on developing the students 

and their ideas. The course provides a 

platform for them to form their own 

thoughts and to express them, important 

skills in any discipline. 

Christiane said that she had seen many 

developments in the teaching of art during 

her career, probably the most significant 

being the introduction of the national 

curriculum which had the positive effect 

of putting more emphasis on including 

the work of artists and craftspeople in 

the course. Initially, the curriculum laid 

down how art and design should be 

taught but this had become less rigid over 

time, while still retaining the benefits. 

Christiane will be returning to William 

Farr next term on a part-time basis but 

hopes that she will now have more time 

for her own artistic development.

Merry Macs of Lincoln 

Merry Macs of Lincoln is a group 

of volunteers whose aim is to raise 

funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

We are authorised by the charity 

(registered number 261017) to do so. 

To date the group has raised in excess of 

£120,000 and we are very proud of our 

achievement. 

In line with the country’s desire to assist 

with protecting our environment, we have 

been using ‘green’ methods of promoting 

our events as possible. We are holding an 

event on Saturday 3rd September as part 

of a folk festival in St Mark’s Square. 

We are encouraging children aged nine 

and upwards to get involved. They can 

take part as a family, as a school or any 

other group they are associated with. 

There are trophies for the top three in 

each age category and prizes for the 

first places in each category. The prizes 

are vouchers for either Debenham’s or 

Lakeland. Hopefully this notice will 

allow children to focus on something 

during the summer.

Matt’s Fund 

In July we attended the inaugural 

Melanoma Patients Conference 

in Bristol. Imogen Cheese put 

this together, herself diagnosed 

with a melanoma, bringing 

together patients, medics, researchers and 

drug companies. The conference gave an 

opportunity for updating knowledge and 

networking, but more importantly gave a 

forum for discussion between those 

diagnosed with this particular form of skin 

cancer. 

It’s a pity it has taken a voluntary organisation 

with support from independent charities 

to arrange such a meeting, there being 

no ‘national’ health service/governmentled 

commitment to create a coordinated 

approach to support those diagnosed with 

this disease. 

It is clear that up to 85% of malignant 

melanoma are cured through surgery. This 

demonstrates that early identification is the 

key, not only to remove the problem and 

save lives, but also to reduce costs to the 

NHS. 


It was coincidental that on the same day 

NICE (The National Institute for Health 

and Care Excellence) approved the use of 

a combination of two drugs for late stage 

melanoma. These drugs (Ipilimumab & 

Nivolumab) work with the immune system, 

having been used separately for a few years; 

trials on a combination of the two have 

shown a high level of success in shrinking 

and even eradicating tumours. These will 

now be available for those diagnosed with 

late stage melanoma nationally. 

‘Some moles are dangerous’; if you see any 

changes in shape, colour and size, or a new 

mole developing get it looked at.

Unfortunately there is little to report this 

month from my committee. We were 

hoping to begin work on updating the 

book ‘Welton, I Remember’, but to date 

we have not received any new material 

so currently this project is in abeyance. 

Details or photos of significant events in 

the village would be greatly appreciated 

and who knows you could find yourself 

immortalised in print. If you can help in 

any way please leave your information

he made to the neighbourhood plan 

and his charity work raising money 


for Matt’s Fund. Bob is a very worthy 

winner; congratulations go to him.

So far this year, police and trading 

standards officers have visited more than 

150 residents from across the county, 

whose names are known to scammers 

as being people who they believe can 

be conned easily into parting with 

their cash. Officers are working hard 

to warn them of the dangers and help 

them spot the warning signs. They are 

also encouraging people to share their 

knowledge and experiences of scams in 

a bid to raise awareness of the types of 

scams operating in their area, and reduce 

the number falling victim to them. 

Kirsty Toyne, officer at Lincolnshire 

Trading Standards, says, “Getting caught 

out by a scam can feel embarrassing, but 

it’s surprising how many people get 

caught out on a daily basis. Whether 

it’s a letter offering you a cash prize in 

exchange for a small administration fee, a 

bogus phone call from someone claiming 

to be from a reputable organisation, a 

virus infected email or a rogue trader on 

your doorstep, there are so many types

Follow the top tips below to spot a 

scam artist. A scammer may: contact 

you out of the blue; make promises that 

sound too good to be true - if something 

sounds too good to be true it probably 

is; ask you to pay for something up-front 

- for example, they’ll ask you to pay 

a fee before you can claim a prize; 

ask you to make a quick decision by 

saying things like ‘if you don’t act now 

you’ll miss out’. This puts you under 

pressure and doesn’t give you time to 

think; be over-familiar and over-friendly 

with you; tell you an offer has to be 

kept secret; ask for your bank account 

details. Never give your bank details 

to people you don’t know, especially 

people you meet online. For more advice

Rainbows -1st Welton 

Well another year has passed; the girls 

have had lots of fun, learnt new skills, 

made new friends and have made some 

excellent crafts. 

We have four Rainbows leaving us and 

commencing with Brownies in September. 

We wish Millie, Lily, Abbie and Abbie lots 

of new adventures and fun; they will all 

be brilliant Brownies. It is always very sad 

when Rainbows leave us, especially when 

we have seen them develop so much over 

the previous two years, but it is always 

rewarding to see them start Brownies 

and have the confidence to begin a new 

challenge.

Harmony Lincs 

Barbershop Chorus 

Our main chorus is recognised these days 

as a forty-strong group but we also attract 

bookings for a smaller chorus, ideal for 

smaller venues and special occasions. 

We were delighted to take part in a live 

music event, ‘Party in the Car Park’, at 

The Fox and Hounds in Reepham in 

June and, more recently, to provide the 

entertainment for a wedding reception in 

Branston Hall. 


Looking ahead we have two special 

events coming up. Our ‘Learn to Sing in 

Harmony’ course starts on Tuesday 13th 

September and continues on 20th and 

27th September and 4th October. The 

course will be held at the Priory City of 

Lincoln Academy, Skellingthorpe Road, 

Lincoln, LN6 0EP. Each week the course 

will run from 7.30 to 8.30 pm. Full 

details are available on our website. You 

can register by emailing Richard Marriott 

at bretcot@tiscali.co.uk or by contacting 

Steve Bradley on 01522 682622. 

On Friday 18th November we stage our 

‘Voices in Harmony’ show at the Terry 

O’Toole Theatre in North Hykeham. 

This will showcase our full chorus 

who are really looking forward to the 

event following their recent success 

in the National Barbershop Chorus 

Championships. 

We are delighted to confirm that two of 

the top quartets in the country will be 

joining us that evening ensuring the very 

best in four-part harmony singing. They 

are ‘Finest Hour’, who were crowned 

national quartet champions in May and 

‘Emerald Guard’ who were previous 

winners of the title. Tickets will be on 

sale from the Terry O’Toole Theatre box 

office from early September.

information about Harmony Lincs please

The Jambusters WI 

You may well have seen small groups 

of ladies dashing round the village 

or peering in your garden in early 

July, all was a result of Jambuster 

members being Dunholme’s answer to 

Miss Marple. Top marks were awarded 

to the winning team ‘The Drunkards’ 

but the mystery of the elusive oak leaf 

remains to be solved. 

Our return to the school hall was met 

with ‘hearty’ refreshments courtesy of 

our fabulous refreshment fairies. Helen 

Airey was awarded top marks for her 

box to truly treasure winning the ‘Just 

for a Giggle’ competition and Philippa 

being the jubilant prize draw winner. 

Congratulations and thanks were 

given to Emma Hackney and Sara 

Visconi for producing the fantastic 

Lincolnshire Show entry representing 

our WI. Their combined craft display 


scored a fabulous 91.5 out of 100; 

take a look at the final piece on our 

facebook page. 

August is our holiday month and 

summer is on the horizon; or is that a 

raincloud again? A polite reminder goes 

to those coming along to the Market 

Rasen races outing. Please bring your 

payment balance to the 6th September 

meeting; thank you. 

We wish our members a relaxing, 

sunny break and look forward to 

welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 

6th September for some ‘jamming’ (in 

the food sense, not reggae style) with 

Jenny’s Jams. Our ‘Just for a Giggle’ 

challenge will be ‘funniest postcard’ 

and the refreshment theme is ‘Harvest 

Festival’.

Brownies - 1st Welton 

We are fast heading 

towards the end of 

term and are going to 

celebrate with a fun night with treats to 

eat and lots of group games. Let’s hope 

the weather is kind to us so we can go 

outside! 

This term we have celebrated Father’s 

Day by making cards and gifts. The girls 

have continued to work towards badges 

and went for a night out on the river 

along with Thursday Brownies, learning 

how to paddle a canoe. A good night was 

had by all who went. 

We finish on 18th July and will restart 

in September. We wish you all a happy 

holiday and look forward to seeing you 

in September for the new term. 

If your daughter is aged between 7 and 

11 and would be interested in a place at 

Brownies, please give Sharon a ring on

Welton Sewing Bee 

The class ticks over through the summer 

from 7pm to 9pm in the Welton Room at 

the village hall on Tuesday 23rd August. 

Come along if you feel like taking on a 

small summer sewing project. 

The class begins again in September with 

Sewing Bee 1 on 13th September and 

Sewing Bee 2 on 27th September. If you 

would like to join in please feel free to 

contact me. We have some Christmas 

specials and are working towards a class 

to teach how to make your own patterns. 

We are also curating a pattern library for 

members to borrow patterns and return 

when they have used them. 

We are also pleased to announce that on 

Saturday 15th October we are having 

a day at the village hall in partnership 

with the Great British Sewing Bee to 

promote local independent retailers. We 

have local fabric, felting and haberdashers 

in attendance along with local crafters. 

There will be some taster classes and a 

pop-up cafe. Coulings Sewing Machines 


will also be on hand to demonstrate the 

latest sewing machines. 

It will be a great day to dust off your 

sewing skills and get inspired and of 

course spend some time planning your 

next quilt, dress or craft. Everyone is 

welcome and there is no entry charge.

Dunholme Old School 

Well, its exciting times at the Dunholme 

Old School Centre. We are currently 

closed due to having the old kitchen 

knocked down and a new larger kitchen 

installed. Some other improvements have 

been made over the past 18 months and 

more changes are planned to take place 

over the coming years. This sounds a very 

long way off but don’t the years soon fly 

by?

The aim in the short term is to build 

the new kitchen adding new units and 

accessories. Decoration around the old 

school already started over the past twelve 

months and is ongoing with the main hall 

being one of the next areas to be tidied 

up and redecorated. Following that, a 

smaller meeting room to the rear will be 

decorated, units removed and hopefully 

before long a new carpet fitted. This room 

will then become available for letting as a 

room for small meetings. The ladies’ toilets 

have been redecorated and modernised 

with two new cubicles and in the near 

future the gents’ toilets will have replaced 

sanitary ware etc. 

In the main hall we will make a doorway 

through to the corridor to the toilets. This 

will eliminate the need to pass through the 

kitchen to get to the toilets. In the past this 

was a disruption to those working in the 

kitchen area but all will be plain sailing 

when the new door is fitted. 

These are just a few of the initiatives 

happening at the Old School Centre. I

Des’s Corner 

In court, a lorry owner’s sharp solicitor 

was questioning a farmer. “Didn’t you 

say to the police at the scene of the 

accident, ‘I’m fine?’ asked the solicitor. 

“Well,” said the farmer “I’ll tell you 

what happened. I’d just loaded my 

favourite cow, Bessie, into the….” “I 

didn’t ask for any details.” the solicitor 

interrupted, “Just answer the question. 

Did you not say, at the scene of the 

accident, ‘I’m fine!’?” 

The farmer replied, “Well, I’d just 

got Bessie into the trailer and I was 

driving down the road.... ” The solicitor 

interrupted, “Your Honour, I am trying 

to establish the fact that, at the scene 

of the accident, this man told the police 

that he was fine. Now weeks after the 

accident, he is suing my client. I believe 

he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply 

answer the question.” 


However, the Judge was fairly interested 

in the farmer’s answer and said “I’d 

rather like to hear what he has to 

say about his favourite cow, Bessie.” 

The farmer thanked the Judge and 

proceeded. “Well, I had just loaded 

Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer 

and was driving her down the road 

when this huge lorry came thundering 

through a stop sign and hit my trailer. 

I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie 

was thrown into the other. I was hurt, 

very bad like, and didn’t want to move. 

However, I could hear old Bessie 

moaning. I knew she was in terrible pain 

by her groans. Then a policeman on a 

motorbike turned up. He could hear 

Bessie groaning too, so he went over to 

her. After he looked at her, and saw her 

condition, he took out a gun and shot 

her between the eyes. Then he came 

across, gun still in hand, looked at me, 

and said, ‘How are you feeling?’ Now, 

your honour, what would you say?”

Council Meeting 

County Councillor Sue Rawlins advised 

the parish council that progress was being 

made on the IT problems at Lincolnshire 

County Council (LCC) and a full report on 

the situation was expected to be presented 

to LCC in September. 

West Lindsey Community Police Inspector 

Simon Outen and PCSO Angie Law 

attended the council meeting at the 

invitation of the council. The Chairman of 

the Parish Council, Dick Pikett, outlined a 

number of the council’s concerns regarding 

the effectiveness of policing in the parish, 

especially in relation to vandalism at 

Manor Park and the golf club and vehicles 

speeding in the village. He called for a 

more pro-active police response to these 

problems and for a more visible police 

presence in the village. 

The police regarded the problem at the 

golf club as an isolated incident where 

the perpetrators had been identified and 

dealt with. Other incidents were random

and were dealt with when culprits were 

identified. Unfortunately anti-social 

behaviour will always occur and is 

constantly changing as youths grow out of 

this phase of their lives. Lincolnshire police 

prided itself on being the lowest cost force 

in the country but now suffers from further 

reduced funding from central government. 

Policing in Lincolnshire is considered to 

be very efficient relative to other forces 

in the country. Crime has also changed in 

recent times with more resources focused 

on areas such as cybercrime. Police 

manpower is therefore focused on areas 

of relatively high incidence of crime and 

Welton is, thankfully, an area of very low 

crime. All of this results in lower levels of 

policing for Welton. 

One councillor had recently resigned 

from the council. The resignation had 

been accepted by the Chairman of the 

Parish Council and the vacancy has been 

registered with West Lindsey District 

Council. Some councillors were unhappy 

that the resignation had been accepted as

was an ‘offer of resignation’ only. Standing 

Orders were suspended to allow a fuller 

debate on the issue. The councillor who 

had resigned had taken on a commitment 

to save public expense for a forthcoming 

event. It was argued that the resignation 

came as a result of councillors not 

identifying and supporting the councillor 

when it became apparent that she could 

no longer meet the commitment when the 

remit had been expanded to where it had 

become untenable. It was proposed that 

the council write a letter apologising for its 

lack of support and asking the councillor 

to reconsider her offer of resignation. 

It was argued that as the process of 

resignation had been completed such a 

letter would be an anomaly. The council 

voted to send the letter.

celebrations in August. The expenditure 

was questioned, and one councillor argued 

that there had been no minutes of any 

previous council meeting authorising any 

expenditure for the twinning event other 

than that for the marquee for the football 

celebration. Some councillors recalled 

discussions on such expenditures but the 

question of the minutes was not resolved. 

A budget of £550 was authorised to cover 

the shortfall. 

The council decided not to provide input 

to the consultation on the scheme for a 

‘mayoral combined authority’ for Greater 

Lincolnshire; councillors were left to 

provide any input on a personal basis. 

LCC have advised that street lighting will 

go off at 12 midnight; this is an extension 

to the previously proposed ‘lights out’ 

time of 10pm. 

There is no parish council meeting in 

August. The next meeting is on Monday 

12th September at 7.30pm in the library.

day at Gainsborough Golf Club which 

raised over £2,000! 

St Barnabas has now been operating 

services since 1982, caring for over 9,000 

people each year, and all our services are 

free. The service and expertise we offer 

for people aged 18 years and upwards 

has been developed in a variety of care 

settings across the county. These support 

a wide range of needs from controlling

pain and other distressing symptoms to 

accessing welfare benefits advice. 

This year we need to raise over £4.4 

million to enable us to continue to deliver 

these services. Our sincere thanks go to 

members of the local community who 

support us in so many ways: donating 

prizes, attending events, organising their 

own events in support of the hospice 

and volunteering their time with us. 

My role includes the delivery of talks 

to community groups, schools and 

organisations to raise awareness of our 

work and services. If this is of interest to 

your group I would be delighted to come 

along and talk about what we do. 

Star Walks On Saturday 17th September, 

the hospice is seeking some brave Jedi 

Knights to join in a quest to walk 10k 

across the ‘Lincoln galaxy’ to raise 

money. Participants will start the 10k 

walk at Yarborough Leisure Centre 

where they will be greeted by favourites 

from the film and they can warm up 

with some Jedi training. There will also 

be free food after the walk with guests 

treated to Han Solo halloumi baps or a 

Padmé pork bap courtesy of Meltworks, 

the local Lincolnshire outdoor caterers. 

Lincoln Awakens is the tenth annual 

moonlight walk the charity has hosted 

which last year was themed ‘One Night 

in a Onesie’.

Welton Golf Society 

Twenty-five members and seven guests 

crossed the Humber to play at Hessle 

Golf Club (it’s nowhere near Hessle). 

After some disappointing bacon butties 

the day improved dramatically. The 


weather was kind to us and the course 

was picturesque and in good condition. 

Some of the greens were challenging and 

three or four puts weren’t uncommon. 

One of our new (younger) members 

James Denbury (JD) was victorious 

with 35 points. Steve Armstrong was 

second on 33 points and Alan Pretty 

third on 30 points. There were some 

very poor scores; yours truly included. 

Tom Allen won nearest the pin on the 

very tricky 16th. 

Fred Sweeting beat Roger Champion 

on the 18th in the preliminary round 

of the knock-out. I was witness to this 

momentous event. They only halved 

one hole, the 17th, where Fred recorded 

an 8 and Roger a 9 with a shot. Good 

luck to whoever meets Fred in the next 

round. 

We are not sure as we go to press 

where we are playing in August.

Football Club 

Most teams are now in the middle of 

their well-deserved summer break but 

many mangers will already be putting 

in place their plans for next season. Any 

new players wishing to join a new team 

should visit the club website: weltonfc. 

com, and contact the appropriate 

manager. 

One additional piece of good news was 

received at the fixtures night at Newark 

on 7th July where the U9 Bombers were 

told they had been promoted to the A 

League next season. Matt Wilson, the 

U9 coach, said that despite only playing 

non-competitive development football 

this promotion was in recognition of 

the boys’ terrific season. Matt and 

Matt Faers would like to thank all 

the parents, families and the team’s 

sponsor, Denholm Industrial Services 

Limited, for their incredible continued 

support. They really could not have 

done it without them (especially Tash 

and Carol); onwards to next season! 

A final reminder for the village 

celebrations planned for the August 

Bank Holiday. It all starts with a junior 

disco on Friday evening, then fun and 

games at Manor Park all Saturday, 


followed by a hog roast and a band for 

the adults in the evening. Full details are 

on page 5. 

Finally the club secretary, Stuart Hogg, 

organises a Welton FC fantasy football 

league every year which can be accessed 

through your iPhone app or online. 

Stuart will be running it again through 

the Premier League’s website. It was a 

great success last season with 25 people 

taking part. For those who haven’t done 

it before, you are given a budget at the 

beginning of the season and you choose 

a squad of any of the Premier League 

players with a maximum of three from 

any one team. Each player in your team 

accumulates points for goals scored, 

clean sheets kept, assists, etc, and you 

choose a captain each week whose 

points count double. You are allowed 

one transfer each week. The winner last 

season was Lee Hepworth, followed by 

Sean King, Stuart Hogg, Adi Smith and 

Carl Wilson. Registration is usually mid- 

August, and is free to join. It is open to 

anyone who would like to participate; 

the more the merrier. If you would like 

to join, please email Stuart at stuart. 

hogg65@gmail.com and he will send 

you the code to register in the league.

Welton Bowls Club 

In the blink of an eye another month 

has passed us by; at this rate we will 

soon be thinking about Christmas. 

The club will be taking part in the 

Christmas tree spectacular which will be 

held in St Mary’s church on 26th/27th 

November. 

August sees the last full month of 

the outdoor season and a number of 

our members will be thinking about 

returning to the indoor rinks to play 

during the winter but, before that 

happens, we still have a number of 

games to complete the outdoor season. 

The club has reached the semi-final of the 

Eileen Wilmott Shield so we are hoping 

for a good result in this competition. 

We played this on 22nd July so I’ll give 

the result in the September edition of 

the NEWS. We also have some of our 

members playing in other West Wold 

competitions so we wish them well and 


hope they progress further and make 

it to the finals. Also being played in 

July was the club singles and on the 

31st July we played the club pairs; the 

results of which will also be given in the 

September edition. 

We have had a slow start to the season, 

not managing outright wins but picking 

up the odd couple of points from games. 

We are not at the bottom of the league 

but not at the top either. It is hoped that 

as we completed the rest of our games 

in July and August we will produce 

some good results, allowing us to move 

further up the league table. Final league 

places will be given in a later issue of 

the NEWS. 

We still have a few places left in our 

Open Day three-wood pairs competition 

which we will be holding on 4th 

September. If you wish to play in this 

event please give the undersigned a 

call to book your place. Let’s hope

the weather will be good to us on the 

day. This is a popular event, and we 

also hold a raffle on the day with some 

excellent prizes, so if you are around 

Manor Park that day why not drop in 

and buy a ticket. You never know; you 

could be lucky. The money raised is put 

back into the club as it is not cheap to 

keep the green and surrounds looking 

good. 

So far we have been lucky with the 

weather. We only had to re-arrange a 

couple of our games due to the rain. 

Most of our matches have been played 

in quite pleasant weather which is how 

bowls should be played (in the sunshine); 

let’s hope the weather remains good for 

the rest of the outdoor season. 

As always we would love to see some 

new faces in the club, so if you fancy 

giving the game a try then please give the 

undersigned a call so we can arrange to 

meet at the green. It is not an energetic 


sport so would suit anyone who has 

not done much exercise for some time 

or anyone that needs to have a little 

exercise.

Table Tennis Club 

The table tennis club based at the 

Methodist Church is continuing to 

grow with up to 25 players between 

the ages of 10 and 75 years taking part 

on the Tuesday evening sessions. We 

have recently received a substantial 

grant from IGas , who run the Welton 

oilfield. This has enabled us to purchase 

two new high quality tables, which 

means we now have three tables set out 

for our sessions. 

Table tennis is open to everyone on 

Tuesdays from 7pm to 9 pm. Contact 

John Ryland on 860823 for any more 

information.

Will you be able to enjoy financial security in 

retirement? Will your pension arrangements provide 

sufficient income? Are you paying too much in 

charges? How will the new pension rules affect you? 

We are pension specialists and can help you answer 

all of these questions. 

 

• Are you concerned about Inheritance Tax? 

• Why pay more than you need to? 

• Ensure your inheritance goes to those you intend it to. 

The value of investments and pensions and the income 

they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back 

less than you invested.
