📚✨ LOCAL AUTHOR CELEBRATES THE LAUNCH OF HER FIRST BOOK – EVERYONE WELCOME! ✨📚

We love celebrating the achievements of people in our local community, and here's a lovely opportunity to support a local author!

👏 Congratulations to Dawn Hollingsworth, who has recently published her first book, When Comfort Becomes a Cage.

As Dawn approached her 60th birthday, she decided that rather than simply sleepwalk into the next chapter of her life, she would set herself 60 personal challenges designed to push her beyond her comfort zone.

The result is a memoir about embracing new experiences, challenging ourselves and discovering that life still has plenty of adventures waiting for us, whatever our age!

Although Dawn doesn't describe her book as self-help, early readers have found her story genuinely inspirational.

🍾 YOU'RE INVITED TO THE BOOK LAUNCH!

📅 Saturday 24 October 2026

🕔 From 5pm

📍 Doncaster Brewery Tap

📖 Signed copies available for just £10

Dawn is hosting a relaxed, informal evening to celebrate the publication of her first book. There's no need for an invitation or booking – just pop along, enjoy a drink, have a chat and perhaps pick up a signed copy!

☕ Hot drinks are available alongside the usual bar refreshments.

Please note that the venue does not admit children.

📚 Can't make the launch? The book is also available on Amazon, and Dawn can supply copies directly to local readers.

❤️ A community is about more than just the streets we live in. It's about supporting one another, celebrating achievements and encouraging people to follow their dreams.

So, if you're free on Saturday 24 October, why not pop along and show Dawn some local support?

And perhaps there's a little inspiration here for all of us. You're never too old to try something new!

👏 Please join us in congratulating Dawn on becoming a published author.

🏍️ REPORT IT: OFF-ROAD BIKES
Illegal and antisocial use of off-road bikes continues to be a priority for Doncaster’s Neighbourhood Policing Teams, and officers have recently seized a number of illegal bikes.
Police are working with the Motorcycle and Rural Crime Team, Roads Policing Group and City of Doncaster Council to identify offenders and tackle problem areas.

⚠️ But they need our help.
The problem remains underreported. Every report helps the police build a clearer picture of:

📍 Where bikes are being ridden
🕐 When incidents are happening

🏍️ Which bikes are involved

👤 Who may be riding them

Even if you think somebody else has already reported it, please consider making a report. Information from residents can help identify patterns, hotspot areas and those responsible.

📢 HOW TO REPORT

☎️ Call South Yorkshire Police on 101

💻 Report antisocial behaviour online:
https://www.southyorkshire.police.uk/ro/report/asb/asb-v3/report-antisocial-behaviour/

🤫 Report anonymously to Crimestoppers:
0800 555 111

🚨 If there is an immediate danger or a crime is taking place that requires an emergency response, call 999.

A child on a bike represents a threat to life!

You can also report it as a crime online at South Yorkshire Police: https://www.southyorkshire.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/

See it. Report it. Help us build the evidence needed to tackle it.
Please share this post so more residents know how to report off-road bikes in our communities.
