Your Priest-in-Charge Writes
Dear friends,
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN on the Swiss French border is a machine built
by physicists to give enough energy to some very tiny particles in order that they can
accelerate to speeds near to that of light. Once they have done this in two streams of
particles going in the opposite direction they point them at each other in order that
some of those tiny particles could smash into one another. In the record of the debris,
as it were, they hope to learn more about the way in which the world of matter has
been put together. It is the ultimate toy for the sort of child who in order to find out
how some things work must take them to pieces before putting them back together
again! Mind you it is a very expensive toy costing many billions of Euros. Yet it has
produced some wonderful advanced engineering and computer information analysis
systems able to analyse the huge amounts of data generated while the machine is on
doing its stuff.
This year there is a great deal of excitement surrounding the possible confirmation
that the Higgs-Boson particle will be finally tracked down by this experimental evi-
dence. Until now the Higgs-Boson has been a theoretical possibility only. The physi-
cist Higgs working at Edinburgh University proposed its existence in the 1960s to
explain how all the other very tiny sub-atomic particles acquire mass. If confirmed
this summer it will be a great advance in our understanding of how the universe of
matter has been put together. It is so important a particle in the architecture of sub-
atomic physics that it has been dubbed “the god particle” on account of the fact that
it gives to all the other particles their mass without which they would not interact or
produce effects like gravity that are necessary for life.
The Psalmist of old sang his song of praise saying, “One generation shall laud your
works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendour of
your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.” (Psalm 145: 4—6). In
this poetic way he brought together the worlds of nature, men and the Creator in an
act of worship and testimony. We too can appreciate the wonders of our universe,
the marvellous engineering and computer ingenuity that have gone into building the
Large Hadron Collider. At the same time as men and women of Faith we can put
these together in a story of how a wise and loving Creator has given us our world to
enjoy and take care of for each other and future generations. As you walk the fells
with the many visitors to our lovely county this summer or look up into star-filled
night skies meditate on these words from another of those ancient songs of Israel’s
bards:
“O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! ….
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon
and the stars that you have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals
that you care for them?” (Psalm 8:1, 3—4)
Every blessing Norman Robinson

A CHURCH FOR ALL SEASONS Our churches are beautiful buildings that attract many visitors over the year but they are not just heritage sites. Some are indeed drawn by the sense of history and the architecture but for many they are places of quiet and calm where they can spend time in reflection and prayer. The PCC is keen to explore having a team of hosts for our visitors. We do not propose a formal rota which is difficult to maintain but rather get together people willing to spend time in church when it is convenient for them to do so. Their role will be to welcome visitors and to be a guide and ambassador for St Kentigern’s in the commu-nity. If you think you would be interested in supporting this initiative please contact Ron Davie - 016974 78364 or [email protected]

EASTER DAY SUNRISE
As I drove up Ratten Row at 6:20 AM on Easter morning for the Easter Day
Dawn Praise, I did wonder if anyone else was as daft as me out at this hour –
maybe two or three I guessed.
How wrong I was and what a big surprise then, to find around thirty people
standing in the dawn light at Blue Gate car park …....................
It was a moving and joyous half hour service of prayers, praise, readings and
hymns – accompanied by an electronic keyboard – amazing! Malcolm
Riches and Kim Hurst led our worship, the sun broke through [just], the
light and colour over the Solway were beautiful, even the skylarks and cur-
lew joined in the praise.
We all then descended the “mountain top” to the Methodist Church room for
breakfast. Not just coffee/tea and croissants as imagined, but hot bacon, sau-
sage and baked beans with buttered baps and fellowship.
Thank you to all who made this possible, but especially to Margaret
Ashbridge and Anne Hannam for cooking the breakfast even before the
crack of dawn!!
By 8:00 the mist had closed in and a thick, wet drizzle was falling
…...............we were blessed indeed!. Rosemary Bailey

The PCC of St Mary’s are planning, once again, to employ Mr Geoff Pever-
all to cut the grass in the churchyard during the growing season. Geoff is
able to keep our churchyard looking beautiful due to the generous donations
which we receive from those of you who have some connection with our
church. We are very grateful for your support and hope that we can rely on
you again this year.
If you are able to help, please make cheques payable to Sebergham PCC.
These, as with cash, may be handed to any PCC member or sent to Mrs T
Wetherell, High Buildings, Sebergham, Carlisle, CA5 7EB.
Thank you.
Elizabeth Luck, Richard de Robeck, Churchwardens.

Caldbeck Bowling Club
The Bowling Club held its annual Coffee Morning/Bring and Buy Sale on Easter
Monday morning that was well supported with over 60 members and friends in
attendance.
Ladies President, Mrs Marion Robinson, welcomed everyone and declared the
event open upon which there was a rush to snap up the bargains from a variety
of stalls
selling groceries, cakes, flowers, plants and general items of bric-a-brac etc. etc..
Coffee and biscuits were served throughout the morning by lady members of the
club.
There were various competitions etc., very popular being the shuffle board when
winners scoring the highest points were, for seniors, John Martindale, and for
juniors, Amy Robinson. Other competition winners were as follows:-
Guess the weight of a fruit cake; joint winners Margaret Bell and Jenny Bow-
ness, both being correct at 4lbs 4.25 ozs.; The Treasure Hunt winner, Mike Dick-
inson.

winners being Mike Dickinson, Robert Mounsey, Patricia Richardson, John
Martindale, David Robinson, Bryan Jackson, Jean Scott, Brenda Butcher, Doro-
thy Osborne, Pat Jackson, Susan Armstrong, Clive Richardson, Joan Adams,

In conclusion Marion thanked everyone for making it a successful event raising

On Easter Monday evening the very popular annual session of Bingo was held in
the Bower that was full to capacity, with Lawrence Hayton calling the numbers,
Ten games were played followed by a 'quickie' game that caused great excite-

Would you enjoy running a coffee shop for half a day now
and then over the summer?
Or baking cakes and traybakes, making soup, for a good
cause?
The Northern Fells Group is planning to rent the Mosedale Meeting House again, as
we have done for the last six years, for Thursdays to Sundays from July to Septem-
ber, to run the Coffee Shop there in aid of the Northern Fells Group’s activities.
Please ring Antoinette Ward on 016974 78220 or email [email protected] if
you can volunteer to help. A few half days, running the Coffee Shop with other volun-
teers, or doing some baking or soup making would be very gratefully received. Thank
you very much.
We will also gladly receive Bric a Brac for sale in the barn.

dale, Sebergham/Welton and Westward/Rosley parishes.
The Fourth Lunch @ Millhouse Philippa Groves and Alison Ostle again made and served a deli-
cious lunch which was enjoyed by 24 local residents. Our thanks also go to Tracey Absalom and
Dorothy Knowles who treated us to a delicious cheesecake. Our speaker had to cancel at last min-
ute so I used the opportunity to chat to residents about our scheme called Eden Lifeline which has
been set up by a small team of responders and volunteers from the area to install a community Pub-
lic access Defibrillator at every Parish/Village Hall in Eden.Our next lunch is on Wednesday 30th
May when we hope Rev Malcolm Riches will be with us to chat about his passion for photography.
As places are limited, booking in advance is essential.
Please contact Philippa Groves on 016974 78555 to book your place by Monday 28th May

RED SQUIRRELS
Just a quick note to let people know, there is an active group of people in
the Caldbeck area trapping and disposing of Grey Squirrels. We have
caught five greys this year in Parsons Park. Last year we caught 23 greys.
We would like to hear from anybody who has seen a grey or has one com-
ing into your garden to feed. We can offer advice on how best to catch
them or we will come and trap and dispose if required.
We are very glad to report a very healthy population of Reds in Parsons
park at the present time.
Catching and disposing of the greys is the only way to save our native reds.
So please report any sightings to: Rosemary Bailey 016974 78575
Make Your Nature Count
At this time of year, there’s no better place to be than in your own back
garden. The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing and the newly born
wildlife are filling the air with snuffles, tweets and chirps. With so much
going on, now is the perfect time to enjoy the sights and sounds and do
your bit for nature by recording everything you see. Conservation charity
the RSPB is asking everyone to take part in its Make Your Nature Count
wildlife survey, which runs from June 2 to June 10.
Although similar to its more well-known Big Garden Birdwatch, this sur-
vey not only asks you to count birds but also other wildlife such as hedge-
hogs, squirrels and deer. Taking part in the survey will help the RSPB to
build an important snapshot of summer wildlife in our gardens and find out
which species are thriving and which might need our help. Last year,
80,000 people took part in the survey across the UK and this year the RSPB
is hoping for even more. In 2011, the survey revealed almost half of UK
gardens had baby blackbirds and 33% had regular sightings of bats and
frogs.
Further information about the survey can be found at www.rspb.org.uk/
naturecount where an online survey form can be downloaded from June 2.
Alternatively, a survey form can be also be ordered over the phone by call-
ing 0300 456 8330 until June 6.
I have a surplus of tomato plants!

ST KENTIGERN’S CHURCH, CALDBECK, PCC
The focus of the meeting held on 2nd April was to approve the Annual Report
and the Annual Accounts before presenting them to the Annual Parochial
Church Meeting on 26th April. After discussion both were duly approved. The
financial situation allowed a small top up to our Diocesan offering and it was
also agreed to send £75 to the Church Urban Fund, which is active in Carlisle
and West Cumbria as well as other parts of the country.
Mr. Sageman and Mrs. Rolfe will be standing down from the PCC and both
were thanked for all they had done – they will be missed. However the meet-
ing was hopeful that the current vacancies will be filled.
The meeting was held at the beginning of Holy Week and we looked forward to
the two innovations this year beginning with the Passover Meal on Maundy
Thursday and the Sunrise Service on Easter Day. This report is being written
after Easter and both these events were popular. The ecumenical Sunrise Ser-
vice was followed by breakfast provided by our Methodist friends and the PCC
are exploring other avenues of co-operation with the Methodists.
The Diocese is renewing the Licences to Administer Communion and it was
agreed that Mrs. Boydell, Mr. Brame, Mrs. Rolfe, Mrs Riches and Dr. Davie be
appointed.
Finally, the PCC hope to be able to plant a tree in the churchyard to celebrate
the Diamond Jubilee.

Volunteers needed to help with Rights of Way maintenance.
The Lake District National Park relies on volunteers to help with cutting back of undergrowth and grass cutting on footpaths and bridleways. (Some of these volunteers have recently been busy in our parish burn-ing the unsightly gorse remnants on Ratten Row and picking up litter).
Would anyone in the parish be interested to join this band of volunteers to maintain our local footpaths and bridleways? If you contact me I will put you in touch with the National Park Ranger, Pete Barron.

HESKET VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE WEEKEND
This will be held on the last weekend (26 and 27) of May, and not the usual Bank Holiday Weekend.
We are expecting to greet one hundred plus entrants who will be treated to three runs through our beautiful countryside, one on Saturday at 1 pm [approx] and two on Sunday at 10 am and 1.45 pm [approx].
Volunteers are welcome; we can never have too many helpers.
If you would like to donate a prize it would be gratefully re-ceived. Feel free to drop it at High Trees, Hesket Newmarket, or you can contact me on 016974 78037.
This event could not continue without the help and support of the villagers they are long suffering and put up with the clatter of open valves and oil stained tarmac. A big thank you to you all in advance.
Let us hope that this year is as successful as usual, a little dry weather wouldn’t go amiss.

Caldbeck Players – Play Review - Great Expectations
Adapted by Hugh Leonard from the novel by Charles Dickens 20th - 22nd March 2012
I was burning with curiosity to see this adaptation and the audience were engrossed by
this clever interpretation of the novel. We were engaged by the neat staging, the story
telling, and the vast array of cameo roles all created in realistic manner avoiding the
use of caricature. The events were revealed in a highly intelligent production. Frank
Cosgrove directed with care to his craft and with a sharp eye for detail. A lot of this
hinged on Hugh Leonard’s adaptation, plus the fact that both Pips (boy and young
man) were well cast in these demanding parts. Leonard has Pip as a young man relat-
ing the first part of the story i.e. when Pip is a boy and then the reverse of this during
the second act having Pip as a boy narrating the later story. There is a short ‘cross-
over’ when both are on stage talking at the same time. This was a fine feature in the
writing and in the production, it worked brilliantly.
This is a talented society with fine actors. Daniel Whitford presented a fine study of
Pip while his Estella played by Leah Bush gave us just the right amount of refinement
without going over the top. Jennifer Collard as Miss Havisham initially looked a little
young for the role, but, as time went by a brilliant study began to emerge. She had
some excellent lines which were related with an almost Shakespearian timbre. In the
cameo department Tim Cartmell was a convincing Jaggers, Geoff Hine’s
Pumblechook was a very warm rendition and we were drawn as much as Pip by the
skills of Jim Cox as Magwitch. Vicky Chandler’s ‘trouser’ role as Herbert was well
polished and worked well. Richard Jefferson was a wonderfully sympathetic and hu-
morous Joe Gargery, the blacksmith. Kay Jefferson started the play as Joe’s battle-axe
wife and transformed, before our very eyes, into the much gentler and likeable Biddy
– she excelled in both parts of her role. Malcolm Riches gave a convincing perform-
ance as the savvy Wemmick and the episodes with his Aged Parent, played by Dicky
Bird, were a delight. Carol Hine ably combined a cameo as Molly with the role of
production assistant. I’m sure I will be forgiven for singling one person out, but Toby
Collard as Pip the boy was outstanding. With the straightest of backs in his stage pres-
ence and perfection in articulation and projection of the words, Toby created a per-
formance to remember. In all this was a rich tapestry of a dramatic event which will
stay with us long after the final curtain went down. Well done to Frank and his Thank

Caldbeck & District Local History Society
On Wednesday, 11th April a party from Caldbeck & District Local His-
tory Society enjoyed an afternoon visit to the new Archives and Re-
source Centre in Carlisle.
Members were welcomed by the Assistant County Archivist, David
Bowcock, who gave them a most interesting and informative tour of
the Centre. The visit started in the recently restored Lady Gillford’s
House and continued through to the new Archive Centre building, with
its Education facility, Archive Strong Room and Conservation Work-
shops. Finally members were treated to a selection of historic docu-
ments and maps relating to the Caldbeck area that had been specially
put on display in the Elphinstone Room for members to examine at
their leisure.
CAFS Report for May 2012

CALDBECK MOTHERS’ UNION
Members were delighted to receive almost sixty friends as guests at our fourth
SOUP LUNCH held in the Caldbeck Parish Hall in March. We greatly appre-
ciated that so many – several travelling considerable distances – had come to
support us. As usual there was a tantalising selection of home-made soups to
choose from, all served by the committee acting as very efficient waitresses.
The Oak Room was tightly packed and buzzing with cheerful chatter.
Donations had been requested in aid of the Mothers’ Union Overseas Fund
and raised £247. The whole of this will support work undertaken by the M.U.
worldwide. There are thousands of enterprises helping the poorest in every
continent. Probably the most widely known and well-established is the Liter-
acy and Development programme which has evolved from teaching literacy
(especially to women whose exclusion from education has been so wide-
spread in traditional societies) to include skills in business and financial man-
agement so that groups of women are enabled to generate small incomes to
support their communities..
Other examples of out-reach run by the Mothers’ Union are designed in re-
sponse to specific local problems. For example: In South Africa, a centre is
being built to provide accommodation for street children and orphans. In the
Congo, they are still working to alleviate the ravages of a war that killed mil-
lions and made unknown numbers homeless. In Brazil, which is faced with
high levels of domestic violence, the M.U. runs courses in good parenting.
All these activities are undertaken in order to fulfil those words of the
Mothers’ Union Prayer – that we should strengthen and support family life,
reaching out across the world. Jean Holden

Sebergham Weather Recordings
March 2012.
Rainfall.
March 2012. 23.21 mm (0.90 ins)
Aggregate for year 144.40 mm (5.67 ins)
March 2011. 51.60 mm ( 2.03 ins)
Aggregate for year 315.50 mm (12.62 ins)
Notes.
We have to go back to 1996 when we had even less rain for the month of
March, and then we recorded only 12.00 mm (0.47 ins) and that year turned out
to be our driest year on record. Our average monthly rain for March over ten
years is 68.83 mm (2.71 ins) so the month has always tended to be a dry month.
There were 12 days when we recorded rain during the month and the most fell
on Sunday 4 March 5.6 mm (0.22 ins) and we had 12 consecutive dry days be-
tween 18 and 31 March.
March temperatures 2012.

Notes.
You will see that we have had the warmest March on record and it is quite a
contrast between the temperatures in 2011 and those of 2012 and to have a high
of 20.80˚c (69.44˚f) on Sunday 25 March has not been recorded here where
records go back to 1965. We only recorded frost on three days during the
month.
Wind.
The average wind speed for March was 4 mph and we recorded a high on
Thursday 29 March of only 20 mph at 15.00 hrs from the SSE. The dominant
wind direction for the month was from the SSE.

CALDBECK W.I. The April meeting was a visual talk on The Hudson Family’s experiences of their six
month visit to New Zealand where Dr. Hudson worked with a New Zealand Medical
Team. The Visual Display had been organised by his daughter, Martha, who did the
whole demonstration assisted by her Mother, Dr Caroline Knox.
They went in May visiting Thailand on their way where they saw Seals and Dolphins.
The children went to school in New Zealand, which they found was more interested in
Sport than in the UK. Most of the afternoons were very much Sport orientated whilst
the mornings were spent on lessons. Sports included Skiing, Football amongst others.
They found it a lovely experience but they did miss our scenery.
Mrs Janet Cox thanked them for a superb display.
The W.I. supported the national resolution for the AGM. The Quiz raised £100 plus a
donation of £30 for which we thanked them. The competition for a child’s toy was
won by D. Coulthard, 2nd was P. Wolfenden. We ended with our Bring & Buy Sale.

Fellview School News, April 2012
We were delighted to receive a letter from Nick Gibb, Minister of State for
Schools, congratulating everyone at school for our excellent KS2 SATs results
last year. All of the Y6 children achieved Level 4+ in both English and Maths
and made at least two levels of progress between Y2 and Y6 SATs. Although we
were pleased with the letter, we believe that children should be well rounded
members of the community, well prepared for life through enjoyment of a wide
variety of opportunities both within and outwith school. We have had plenty of
activities last half term with cricket coaching, a tennis tournament, in which we
came second, friendly football and hockey games at Cummersdale, Tag Rugby
and achieving second place in the County Finals for our gymnastics teams. The
children enjoyed themselves enormously and achieving such a good result just
made their day. The MozyKidz After School Club proved extremely popular
with the children; more than half of the school attended the six sessions. Mrs
Graham has started a Book Review Club for the Y5/6 children. They are taking
turns to choose a book for everyone to read and comment on. It has been well
attended – perhaps the cakes help!We concluded our Spectral Army topic with
an outdoors performance of a modern twist on the story. The adults who attended
the Spectral Army extravaganza seemed to enjoy the spectacle, following the
cameraman from place to place on the playing fields. The sight of the soldiers
marching out of the Conservation area was enough to frighten anyone. No won-
der the planners fled. The good weather was an added bonus. We are extremely
grateful to Teresa Richardson for writing the script and words for the songs and
the children and staff who worked extremely hard to make the puppets and bring
the whole spectacle together. We have enjoyed the Spectral Army topic but it
was unfortunate that the tutor from Adult Learning was unable to complete the
course. Term finished with the usual visit from the Easter Bird who laid
chocolate eggs for each of the children.
THE THURSDAY CLUB for retired people
The AGM was finally held on the 12th of April. Tony Ryan, the Chairman, summed up the
2011 activities and thanked everyone who had helped in various ways. Liz Boydell, the
Treasurer, gave her report which showed the Club had a small balance in the bank but that an
increase to £5 in the annual subscription was needed. The report was adopted. The proposal
that the club should close at the end of the year was put to a secret vote and was roundly de-
feated. Tony then welcomed the Speaker, Teresa Richardson who spoke on the joys of boating
along 2,000 miles of Britain’s canals since 1996 in the family boat ‘Tagus’. Not a life for
wimps!
The next meeting will be a Quiz at 2pm on the 10th of May held, as usual,
in the Caldbeck Parish Hall.

Castle Sowerby Parish Council Notes Met in Millhouse Village Hall the Chairman welcomed the Councillors and four
parishioners. Mal Hilton. Chairman of the Northern Fells (NFG) High Speed Broad-
band explained how Broadband would be rolled out over the nine parishes in the
NFG, which is a separate from the existing NFG, he answered questions regarding
price, where capital was being accessed from and that a grant application to Defra
was in process but did not yet know the result.
Queens Diamond Jubilee. Council decided to purchase 36 Mugs of the Diamond
Jubilee to be awarded to children under 11yrs. As Millhouse Village Hall committee
had decided to erect a Flag Pole by the Hall we felt that they would be responsible
the Pole for it.
Highway Matters. David Kerry reported the blockage affecting the road at the bot-
tom of Newlands had been jetted by the County Council also the flooding at Sour
Nook seems to be working well since the valley gutters were sucked out. It was
thought the road at Newlands Mill was in a very bad condition, the Clerk would
inform the Highways Department, with a complaint from Newlands Mill to help to
attain good result.
Parish Plan (PP). A discussion regarding the PP, would be able to indentify the
needs of the parish, if anyone in the Parish would like to lead a PP and find out
what the people would like please contact Howard Eastwood or Mr. John Foster
Planning. Councillor of Hewer Hill Farm, submitted a proposal to erect a 12mtr
Wind turbine Mast, he retired from the meeting after answering questions, it was
then put to the vote and we agreed to support the application. An application was
received from S /C Asbridge, Ling Dene, Sowerby Row for a lawful development
certificate for existing use as a dwelling without Agricultural restrictions, it was felt
by the Council that a lot of properties with Agricultural restrictions were built when
a larger labour force was employed in agriculture. The Council supported this appli-
cation.
Planning Applications. Planning applications decided by Eden District Council
for Richard Little, Leavy Holme – Roof over existing cowshed and yard was ap-
proved. Planning application for P. Wright, Croft House, Sowerby Row – Conver-
sion of Barn to holiday let approved.

CAFS Report for April 2012
For something completely different, come to the April CAFS film
presentation on Fri 20 April in Caldbeck Village Hall at 7.30pm. This
is the last scheduled film of the season.
How I ended this summer is a Russian (subtitled) thriller, Cert 12,
released in 2010, lasting 124 mins. Though well reviewed on its release
in the UK, it doesn’t seem to have reached cinema societies in Cumbria
- though I may be corrected on this point by film buffs. It is well worth
a viewing for its acting, its suspense and its unusual setting in the far
north east of the Russian Federation. It won 2 Silver Bears at the Berlin
Film Festival. It was directed by Alexei Popogrebsky, whose previous
career was as a psychologist. Filmed entirely on location in a remote
Siberian province, it was shot in real time over 3 months. The setting is
a remote, run down weather station, where two men collect and broad-
cast regular meteorological readings. Life is lived at an austere level
with only radio contact with the outside world
Sergei is an older scientist, who has adapted to the demands of the job
and the environment, whereas Pavel is a younger student with a less
serious attitude. There is a generational clash of personalities and mis-
trust ensues. When Pavel fails to pass on an urgent radio message about
Sergei’s family, their relationship deteriorates to dangerous levels.
What results is a tense and gripping game of hide and seek over an un-
forgiving landscape. Watch out for the polar bear!

Spring term has been very busy this year. Our Easter preparations began with a
lovely morning on Shrove Tuesday. Parents from our Rosley School Support
Group came in and made pancakes with all of the children during the morning,
which were shared and enjoyed by everyone.
Class 1 took part in the U-Dance festival at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick,
performing their dance entitled Going on a Bear Hunt to the soundtrack from Mis-
sion Impossible. We would like to thank parents for their tremendous support at
this event.
Class 2 & 3 children entered the Carlisle Music Festival in the Hand Chimes sec-
tion and their performances were commended by the adjudicator.
We had an artist in residence at the end of term who worked with the children on
creating a mosaic entitled Land, Sea and Sky which is now on view on our wall
outside Class 2.
Our Pre-school, Busy Bees had a visit from Cumbria Police to talk about keeping
safe. They also had some Mini Mover sessions at school with Class 1 provided by
Barnardo’s Sure Start. These included physical activities through action songs and
rhymes. They all had great fun and learnt about healthy exercise and how their
hearts beat faster when they move!
We concluded the term with our Easter Service in church and look forward to an
equally busy Summer term after a well deserved break!

'The History of Common Land'
On Wednesday 21 March Dr Angus Winchester from the University of
Lancaster gave an illustrated talk to the Caldbeck & District Local His-
tory Society entitled 'The History of Common Land' with particular re-
gard to the upland communities of Cumbria and the neighbouring York-
shire Dales. He traced the development of how such communities man-
aged their common resources, from the manor courts of the Middle
Ages , through the loss of common land under the Parliamentary Enclo-
sure Acts, to the Commons Regulation Act of 1965 and the foundation of
the present day Commoners' Associations. In conclusion he confirmed
that the grassroots nature of common land management, whereby rural
communities regulated themselves on the basis of commonsense and
good neighbourliness, was still in evidence today.
On behalf of a large and appreciative gathering of members and visi-
tors, the chairman Dr Ron Davie thanked Dr Winchester for such
an entertaining and informative talk. The next meeting, to be held in
Caldbeck Parish Hall, will be at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 16th May, when
Edwin Rutherford will be speaking on the Border Reivers.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Most of you will have seen the TV programmes with this title, and know
that tracing your family history is now a very popular activity or hobby.
It is almost certain that there will be people locally who have taken up this hobby, and perhaps others who would quite like to do so but do not know how to start. I am therefore – on behalf of the Caldbeck & District Local History Society – inviting anyone who is tracing their family history
(or might like to) to get in touch with me.
It could be that there would be some interest in meeting together from time to time and hearing about other people’s progress, etc. If so, the Society would be happy to help in any way (e.g. booking an outside ‘expert’ to advise at a local workshop), or just simply to book (and pay
for) a room for the group to meet.

Notes from Caldbeck Parish Council meeting 2nd April 2012
Public Service Information: To let you know that you can access free directory en-
quiries if you are the carer of a disabled child over the age of 10 or you have a disabil-
ity yourself that prevents you using a phone book. To access the service phone 195 &
you will be sent a registration form. There will be a check carried out on your child’s/
your disability before you can access the service
.Police Report. PCSO Lyndsay Tuck emailed her apologies and reported two incidents
of note in Caldbeck during March. On the 5th some criminal damage was caused to
buildings at the school when a door handle was forced off and a window broken. On
the 8th two adults were reported for the possession of cannabis.
Northern Fells Group. David Ward, parish representative on the Northern Fells
Group, sent a report to say that Julia Trotter, Village Agent for Caldbeck, Sebergham
and Welton, has been appointed also as Transport Co-ordinator (Admin) to job share
with Carol Hickson, Transport Co-ordinator (General). And Emma Jennings of Bolton
Low Houses has been appointed as the new Village Agent for the parishes of Boltons
and Ireby with Uldale in place of Sally Vaux who is retiring from the post.
Litter picking day 10th March. The Chairman reported that 4 big bin liners of rubbish
had been collected from Hesket Lonning. (LDNPA volunteers had previously picked
up the rubbish at Blue Gate parking area). Thank you to all Litter Collectors.
Parish Maintenance. The Clerk was asked to report the following problems to the
relevant authorities: the seat on Ratten Row needs attention including the cutting down
of nearby whin bushes, gutter on Ratten Row needs digging out, the drain under the
road near Thornhill House needs attention, potholes in Tenters car park need filling in,
the tree at Fellside corner at the top of Wath Brow is impeding high sided vehicles,
potholes need filling in on the Hesket to Woodhall road, the signpost to Whelpo on the
top road has lost its arms.
Trees on Hesket Green. The promised work on the trees and the removal and replace-
ment of the diseased maple tree and the felling of the dead cherry had not been done in
March as planned. The Clerk to contact the LDNPA urgently. (The LDNPA responded
swiftly and most of the work was completed over Easter weekend. The replacememt
maple tree should be planted soon. The raising of the crown of the cherry tree will be
left until after it has finished flowering).
Parish Council Election 2011 Cost. The invoice for the contested parish council
election of May 2011 had been received. It was £1,206.37, more than 10% of the pre-
cept. The likely cost of an election is hard to predict and plan for because when the
precept is set it is unknown whether an election wlll be contested or uncontested, and
the final cost of a contested election depends on a number of variables. The Clerk was
directed to write to Rory Stewart, MP, to raise this issue of the high cost of local de-
mocracy for small parish councils.

Sebergham WI Report April 2012 President, Margaret Mattinson, welcomed
members to our April meeting. The meeting commenced with the business which con-
tained a lot of interesting items. A list was made of the members wishing to go to the
Diamond Jubilee Tea Party and flower demonstration at Newbiggin. An idea was
mooted of a possible visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith with members bringing
family and friends.Poppy Hollins-Gibson gave a report of the Spring Council Meeting
where the guest speaker had been George Crossman, a Coastguard from Morecambe
Bay. He gave a very interesting talk and we heard about the quick sands. He gave us
advice if we ever got stuck (don’t stand up, but lie down to spread your weight). He
told us that quick sand is similar to cornflour in a glass of water and Poppy brought
some to the meeting. A spoon put into the glass soon sank to the bottom but on trying to
lift it out the whole glass could be lifted with the spoon! Margaret Mattinson then intro-
duced our speaker- Kerry, from Cumbrian Food Direct. Only 18 months ago, 4 people
had the idea to provide Cumbrian foods delivered direct to your door. From a warehouse
in Maryport, orders placed on line before 9.0am on Tuesday will be sourced from local
suppliers and will arrive at your door on Friday. This is proving very popular with
Cumbrians and with people renting holiday properties who can arrange a delivery of
food to await their arrival. Kerry was thanked by Jessie Ostle. She then judged the com-
petition for salad servers which was won by Audrey Asbridge with Heather Magnay
second. The hostesses were Carol Foster, Anne Irving and Heather Magnay.
Sebergham Parish Council met on 28 March in Welton Village Hall. Mrs Cullen from Sebergham Castle House
attended the meeting to inform the PC that an amended planning application for her
property will be submitted in the next few days. She wished to state that the building
would be for personal use only and the family were not planning to run a commercial
enterprise from the building. The SIDS machines will be back on the roads in the next
few weeks. The Highways Stewards are hoping to do some work on the road at the
bottom of Doctors Brow and the road through Churchtown soon. The road from Sow-
erby Mill towards the road and the Grassgarth road also need some repairs. Both of
these have been reported to the Highways Hotline. Work is continuing at Parkhead

Vice president Jean Simpson presided over the March meeting with 23
members present. The county news was read and dates of interest
noted i.e Diamond Jubilee celebration lunch at Greenhill Hotel on 23rd
May, with a presentation by the jewellers Beadle and Hill. Angela Gib-
son and Jean Osborne (Kumara) offered to do a flower arrangement on
behalf of Rosley WI for the Jubilee weekend flower festival in church
Next month is the AGM and names were taken for the fish & chips
supper. The speaker needed no introduction, as it was our own presi-
dent Jean Harper-Tarr (who in a previous life was a domestic science
teacher). Jean gave a “summery puddings” demonstration. Each recipe
was simple with no fuss and the icing on the cake was that each mem-
ber enjoyed tasters throughout!! Lynda Huckell gave the vote of
thanks. The competition for a “container suitable for microwave cook-
ery” was won by S Carruthers, 2nd M Wilson and 3rd J Osborne
(Kumara). The raffle for sweets made by Jean was won by J Hether-
ington, S Moffat, D Shaw, L Huckell and B Rothery. Linda Low was
in charge of the sales table. Hostesses were the “Woodside” group.
