Dear Reader, What beautiful weather we have been
experiencing of late! Let‘s hope it lasts for the rest of the Summer.
I cannot believe that we are already half way through the year!!! As September approaches, so does the
famous St. Leger race meeting, scheduled for 7th-11th of September. For many females this means a lite retail therapy: a new dress, hat,
shoes, handbag and jewellertly all co-ordinated to help you look your very best. This month, I offer you a few tips that will guarantee you stand out from the crowd!

not beautiful.~ Author Unknown.

The ‗buzz word‘ at the moment for
nails is ‘Minx’ - a metallic foil that can be applied to
toe and fingers nails. Beware as there are many ‗rip off‘ products out there which do not match the magnificence and capture the colour and brilliance of the ‗Minx‘
designs. With numerous options and colours to choose from, you can complement your outfit perfectly.
If Minx isn‘t for you, then there are Bio Sculpture Gels to give colour to your nails without the fear of smudging or chipping during your day out. Alternatively, if length is
what you require, there are nail extensions, or you may prefer a manicure and pedicure with an application of coloured varnish or natural looking French polish.
Even though we are hoping
the sunshine will continue, it is always wise to pre-book your tanning treatment so that
you look beautifully bronzed in your designer outfit. Requiring only a fifteen minute appointment for a spray tan,
St. Tropez is a universally known product which gives a streak-free, even finish
that is three shades darker than your natural colour just
perfect for that special Occasion!
Race Week is as busy as Christmas for
Doncaster‘s beauty salons! Make sure that you are glamorous and stress free for your special day at the races by booking your
treatments early. Or, you could risk being the one with streaky orange legs, nail ‗pinging off‘ into a friend‘s glass of Pimms and lashes hanging half off at 12 midday
rather than 12 midnight, just because you left it too late to book your appointment
and had to do it all yourself the night before!!!
You could
complete
that polished look with a set of luxurious
lashes. There is a solution for every occasion and budget. Choose from strip ones, which will just be great for the day; individual ones, which will last up to a week; or 3D semi-permanent lashes,
which, with ‗top up‘ treatments, last for weeks.

Taking your Test Dear Readers continued,
Mr Bean was the first person to pass the driving test in 1935… fact! But it‘s not that Mr Bean, it was
Mr J Beene who paid a grand total of 37p (7d / 6p in old money) to take the test. there were no test
centres in 1935 so you had to arrange to meet the examiner somewhere like a post office, train
station or town hall. the test was suspended for the duration of World War Two and didn‘t resume
until 1 November 1946.
In 1975, candidates no longer had to demonstrate hand signals The theory test was introduced in
1996, replacing questions about the Highway Code, during the practical test candidates could book
their theory test online for the first time in December 2001 the pass rate in 1935 was 63 per cent
compared to 46 per cent in 2009.
1969 saw the first driving test set for an automatic vehicle since 1935 more than 46 million tests
have been taken
In 1935, when Leslie Hore-Belisha, became the new Transport Minister, he introduced the driving
test – first in March as a voluntary test and then it became compulsory in June. During the 1930s
safety glass was made compulsory for windscreens after terrible injuries had been caused by
accidents in cars with ordinary glass. Seat belts did not appear until the 1950s but were not made
compulsory in front seats until 1983.
in September 2003. Arm signals out of the window were withdrawn from the test in 1975 and more
modern additions to the test have included a theory test in 1996, the hazard perception section of
the theory test in 2002 and questions about vehicle safety and maintenance
Changes to the test and other safety initiatives, such as improvements to vehicles, have resulted in a
reduction in road deaths in Great Britain, which now has some of the best road safety records in
the world. In 2008 there were 34 million cars on the road and 2,538 people were killed in road
accidents
When announcing the introduction of the driving test, Leslie Hore-Belisha said, ―Driving is an art in
which those who are engaged should, in the interest of their own and of the public‘s safety; take the
greatest pains to make themselves proficient.‖

Sprotbrough Road Community Church (Methodist)
The Family Table
Once again my table has been loaded with fruit‘s, the bounty that our wonderful God has
provided. We have just had Wimbledon fortnight, the one sport I do watch on TV. We
not only have the enjoyment of the tennis but strawberries as well. YUMMY, and the
cream is just the perfect addition. Our Church has really had a feast this time, with the
1st strawberries at the Family Fun Day, the 2nd strawberries at lunch after the morning
service, and the 3rd portion at our house group with a Quiz as part of a fellowship eve-
ning. No wonder the phrase comes to mind, ‘All I have needed thy hand has provided‘.
God loves to give us pleasure and lift our spirits but let‘s not forget the other fruit He has
provided—the Fruit of His Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faith-
fulness, Gentleness and Self Control.
We‘re enjoying a wonderful summer for a change, and we need to thank God for it and all
the other blessings he so freely gives us. When we come to His table more often, and
when we stand at the foot of the cross, we begin to really understand what Jesus did for
each one of US by shedding His blood at Calvary. We can look to Him and enjoy His pre-
cious Fruits, because the fruits of the world are only a passing moment of pleasure. It is
God‘s Spirit, NOT the things of this world that give us everlasting Love and Joy. Our
Lord Jesus is FOREVER.
‗And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviours blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
‗Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, Oh my God, it found out ME.‘
We all need His power to keep us on the
narrow path, and remembering some of the
goodness He shows us, will help our lives to
be easier and more peaceful. So let‘s look
forward to the next strawberry tea at our
tables.
God Bless you all.
See you next month
Jean Scott
