Dear Parishioners,

May I wish you all a very Healthy and Happy New Year! It is a joy to be part of your community and to share with the ups and downs of life that we all face. I hope and pray that this year there will be some special times to treasure together and that all will find happiness within our community.

Another year draws to a close, which has had more than its fair share of dramas in our political world! Strange that about 1 in every 3 people didn’t vote and take responsibility for the difficulties we face however hard that has been. I will continue to pray for our politicians in this New Year, whether new to post or having served for many years. May they find wisdom, courage, strength and a desire to serve the common good as we journey forward together. I will pray for us as their constituents that we might support and encourage good will towards those who have taken this responsibility this year.

I encourage you all to make new year’s resolutions that will benefit this world in which we live (not just ourselves) and especially as we face global issues and environment challenges.

A couple of occasions to let your hair down in January – the first is a Quiz Night on Saturday 18th January 7 for 7.30pm at the

Coronation Hall. Either come as a team of up to 6, or just turn up and you will be allocated a team - £5 entry fee and wonderful refreshments to buy (scotch eggs from the Nest on the Ledbury Road) and a bar. We are raising money for the “A Treasure in our Midst” Project which is putting the bid together for the Heritage Lottery Fund to re-roof the North side of the church, redecorate the inside, as well as put on activities that will draw attention to our wonderful church and its interesting past and hopeful future. Come and have a bit of fun!! Please let the office know or the project email that you will find on the posters or invites so that we can order enough food!

The second event is a concert at Aymestrey Village Hall on Friday 25th January at 7.30pm. The Shanty Men will be singing and there will be sandwiches and snacks as well as a bar. We are joining forces as a benefice, to fill the hall and raise money for the common work of the churches. Do come and enjoy the music and merriment. Tickets are available from Peter King our remaining churchwarden as Jean travels the world.

Plough Sunday is celebrated on January 5th and we will pray for our farming community at the beginning of a new year. Every blessing

Julie

Kingsland Oral History Project

Over the past few months we have been collecting the memories of older residents of living and working in Kingsland parish from before WW2 through the 20th century. You can listen to them talking about what the village and area was like and their memories of the village, farming, the stores and pubs, the school, the church and chapels, wartime, the beginning of Luctonians, and much more. Everything collected is on a new KingslandLife website page called ‘Memories of Kingsland – The Oral History Project’, which you can find under ‘History’ at www.kingslandlife.com

On our website page, for each participant, you will find the recorded interview and a time coded summary of what they talk about which researchers (or you!) can use to find a particular part of a recording. We have also added photos and documents kindly lent to us by each person.

All the recordings are on a YouTube channel called ‘The Kingsland Oral History Project’ which you can go to directly via searching the name on YouTube or Google. You can subscribe to the channel and you’ll then get an alert when new recordings are added. A copy of the recordings will also go to the Hereford Archives and Record Centre.

Over the next few months we will add new recordings but meanwhile we hope you find what we have collected so far enjoyable and interesting. We’d like to thank everyone who’s taken part so far for your valuable and interesting contributions!

If you would like to share your early memories of living in the village and parish please contact Jackie Markham (01568

708281) or Sally Deakin (01568 708839) who’d love to come and talk to you! We’d also like to hear from you if you’d like to be involved in the project by talking to residents and/or helping write up summaries of interviews.

Messy Church

Messy Church in January is on Sunday 5th

at 9.30am, Some of the more eagle eyed of

you may have spotted that I got ahead of

myself slightly last month and stated the

year as 2021! Sorry about that! We will be

journeying with the Wise Men and

considering our journey through 2020. Do

come and join the crowd, all children with a

responsible adult welcome!

December's gathering was full of

preparations for Christmas, cards,

decorations, sending out Mary and Joseph

into the village and making an advent

crown. We made Christingles and thought

of those children who are not as fortunate

as ourselves. If you haven't been able to get

your candle shaped collecting box back to

church, please drop it in to Rev Julie so that

the money can be collected up and donated

to the Children's Society.

As always, thanks to all the helpers who

make it all happen - and we look forward to

Messy Church throughout 2020, the first

Sunday of every month, half an hour of

activities and craft, a story, a song and a

prayer followed by breakfast, all in

Kingsland Church.

News from the chapels.

Rev. Deanne: The news is still good. She is a lot stronger and has spent a couple of hours at

home this week. She hopes to be able to spend Christmas at home, although she will not be

able to eat! I am not sure what they mean, but she will be able to drink clear liquids!

Further news: As we are without any pastoral support, it is intended to appoint Sharon

O’Connell, a former Salvation Army officer, as a lay pastor to ‘look after’ Deanne’s

churches, Kingsland and Shobdon included. She has led worship at Kingsland twice now

and met our regular congregation – and it hasn’t put her off – so we look forward to the

confirmation of her appointment.

Bible Study: The Bible Study Group will be meeting on Tuesdays, 14th

and 28th January

(weather permitting!) at 2-3 pm. We will be finishing our study of 1 John on

the 14th and starting a new, exciting study after that. Everyone is welcome.

We finish in time to collect children from school. There is no cost and you

do not need to bring anything except an open and enquiring mind.

Advent Festival: Thank you to everyone who took part, whether by entering or coming for

refreshments and to judge! Everyone who had a tea or coffee had a vote and the results were

as follows:

Children Individual: Peter and James

Children’s group: 1st - Kingsland Brownies 2

nd Kingsland Cubs

Adult individual: Lesley Pitchford

Looking back, Looking forward: On 29th December, amongst other things, you will have

the opportunity to sing those Christmas hymns and carols you love, but which have not been

sung this year. Let me know by phone or email (see below) and come and sing!

January. Do

Nature Notes

After the festivities and possibly, over-

indulgence, of Christmas it can be hard to

get up in the mornings in January! For dog

walkers there is very little choice in the

matter as most of our four-legged friends

are more than ready to go out at any time of

day, whether light or dark, and in most

kinds of weather.

Dark mornings can be an excellent time for

spotting wildlife - after allowing time for

your eyes to adjust you may well catch a

glimpse of a large, silent shape of a tawny

or barn owl but even if you don't see any

movement you might hear an animal or bird

if you listen hard. Owls are noisy at this

time of year, but badgers and foxes are

busy too - rummaging for food to keep

them going through the cold winter.

Occasionally you may hear a vixen scream

to attract a male suitor as they enter their

breeding season. A walk in the hard frost

or snow on a cold winter day may reveal

which animals have been busy in the area

and where they have been travelling to and

from.

In woods, parks and gardens new life can

be seen on even the darkest day as bulbs

such as daffodils and bluebells reach for the

light, joining snowdrops which are starting

to bloom and primroses may start to appear

too. Lichen and mosses appear on trees and

stone walls and red and green dogwoods

provide spectacular colour. Hawthorn,

field maple, blackthorn and guelder rose

continue to provide food, shelter and

nesting cover for wildlife, particularly small

garden birds.

Those of you with cider fruit trees or even

eating apple trees will probably enjoy a

little wassailing coming from the Anglo

Saxon "waes hael" meaning good health

and celebrated traditionally on New Year's

Eve or Twelfth Night by pouring some of

last season's cider around the roots of the

tree, hanging toast soaked in cider in the

tree or on the base of it and firing a shot

gun off into the tree branches to ward off

evil spirits. The idea is to promote the new

season's crop, enjoy some social cider and a

jug of cider too!

Wishing you all a prosperous New Year.

Luctonians Sports Club Report

Since my last report Luctonians 1st XV

have found some form with three victories

in their last five outings. The improvement

started in mid-November when we hosted

Fylde who were sitting a comfortable

second in the league table. We matched

them in every department before going

down 25- 27. We then travelled to

Scunthorpe and came away with a

comfortable 40-8 victory followed by a 29-

3 home win over Preston Grasshoppers.

For our first game in December we took

the long trek up to Grassington in the

picturesque Yorkshire Dales. The scenery

was undoubtedly the highlight for me

because for some inexplicable reason we

simply failed to turn up, gave our most

disappointing performance of the season

and went down 25-5.

The coaching staff turned on the flame

throwers at training the following Tuesday

with the smell of burning flesh allegedly

apparent the length of North Road. It had

the desired effect however because on the

following Saturday visitors, Huddersfield,

were beaten 15-5. Undoubtedly our

defence has been a key factor in our

victories because despite periods of

sustained pressure, Scunthorpe, Preston

and Huddersfield could only muster two

tries between them. It is still work in

progress however. Although we are now

just clear of the three teams in the

relegation zone we have to retain our

recent form and push on.

Since the beginning of November our 2nd

XV has turned in five consecutive victories

with wins over Bromsgrove, Derby,

Bournville, Leicester Lions and Bridgnorth

and our 3rd

XV have also had a measure of

success with two victories in their last six

matches, a statement that perhaps requires

an explanation. Nobody seems to run a 3rd

string anymore so all their fixtures have

been against the 2nd

XVs of other clubs and

this with a side that contains more than a

smattering of last season’s Colts. In the

meantime our U14s and U16s have both

reached the quarter finals of the North

Midlands Cup.

On the social scene, we hosted six

Christmas parties for local businesses and

organizations over the festive period, with

110 punters being the smallest turn out. If

you want an excellent venue, top quality

food and value for money all laced with a

generous dose of fun and frivolity then

book now for 2020. Just mention my

name.

Huw Davies.

Kingsland Bowls Club (midNov-midDec

2019) – party animals?!

It’s an ill wind – while the fields around are

saturated and any visiting hippo would be

happy in the mud, the reseeding has seen

the grass grow well and the green looks

great, thanks to the tender ministrations of

our Super Green.

Meanwhile, Winter Social Events have

commenced. In mid-November we had an

extremely popular Italian Evening, with

lasagne to die for (soft in the middle, crisp

round the edges, just how I like it!) from

Catering Queen Signora Irina. Thanks to

all who helped with this sera bellissima; our

table won the quiz by a single point – just

as well, as I had committed myself to

crawling under the table if we lost. I’ve

lived in Italy – but nobody ever told me

what the colours of the Italian flag stood

for! Barry, you were right and I was

wrong; I eat humble pie (but I’d prefer

spaghetti). In case you need this essential

information, green is for hope, white is for

faith, and I suppose red is for charity – I did

think it might be for Chianti, but there we

are.

The Friday Event for 29th November was

my own Beastly Quiz. Some people felt it

was more beastly than necessary; they

found it tough - but surely everyone knows

that the Small Tortoiseshell is a symbol for

Denmark?! Oh, alright, perhaps that’s a bit

academic. How about sex? – no, no, not

like that, we’re British and we prefer hot-

water bottles - I meant the gender of that

screaming fox - yes, it was a vixen.

Thank you to the caterers of the evening -

the food was simple and satisfying.

Our traditional Annual Christmas Bingo

took place at the Coronation Hall on

Wednesday 4th December; Gary’s Sue had

created some wonderful Bakewell tarts iced

with holly and berries – I was left holding

the tray, trying to fend off assorted

members who thought they ought to do

quality control. Unfortunately I wasn’t

able to attend the actual Bingo, but am told

it went swimmingly, with good attendance

and some tasty hampers as well as free

mince pies – well done to Rob and Irene

Wheeler and helpers, another very

successful evening.

We had a wonderful Christmas Lunch from

Chef Supreme Morgan, who never makes

us do cold turkey – a splendid spread, with

apple crumble & custard to follow; even

fruit salad for those who had already

crumbled after the lavish main course, and

cheese and biscuits finished us all off in a

festive fashion. Congratulations to

Malcolm & Pat and all the Elves, and of

course especially Jimmy – I do like to see a

man in an apron! President Joan had

contributed a beautiful fruit basket for the

raffle, and there were various other

generous prize donations. Kevin worked so

hard behind the bar, he deserves a medal –

he also assisted me to stop the lovely

Christmas tree from flashing; members

were warned that flashing was not an

alternative to firing.

Events coming up in January – our New

Year Party(3rd

) and Pig-Racing, (17th).

A Happy New Year to all our members

and friends – see you soon!

Just a small reminder – we’ll be very

pleased if you can get subs in by end of

January!

Royal British Legion

Branch Meetings The meeting on 2nd

December was well supported with a well-

stocked draw and a demanding quiz. The

next meeting will be on 6th January 2020

(weather permitting) at the usual place band

time.

Widow/Widowers Lunch At the time of

writing (13th December) a total of 36

members and guests are booked in. A full

report will be given next month.

Poppy Appeal 2019. The results of the

2019 Appeal are as follows:-

House Collections £670.55

Static points £966.44

Kingsland Church £387.61

Orleton Church £157.00

Wreaths £156.00

Donations* £937.84

Total £3275.44

* this includes sums from RBL, Lucton

School and Eyton Church

Overall, this shows a reduction of £469.29

from 2018 mainly due to a marked drop in

door to door donations and most other

sources, offset by an increase in donations.

This is the last time that Mrs Jan Nichols

will act as our Poppy Appeal Organiser. We

urgently need a replacement who is willing

to give some time to organising the 2020

appeal and we also need more collectors. If

no one is forthcoming by end of January

2020, we will have to hand over to

Leominster.

Seasons Greetings On behalf of your

committee, I wish to extend greetings to all

our loyal members and supporters, wishing

you all a merry Christmas and a peaceful

New Year.
