From your County Councillor

There should be good news about broadband for many local people by the time

you receive this newsletter. KCC and the government have each committed £5m

to extend access to superfast broadband to more rural households. We have

done this at a time of great financial challenge and our officers have worked hard

to make sure the £10m programme goes as far as possible and are confident that

95% of households in Kent will have access by the end of 2017. Go to www.kent.gov.uk and search for

‘broadband’ – a postcode checker will give you an indication of what is planned.

Fortunately the investment in broadband has been committed but we have been looking at other plans and

scaling these back to help make the £80m savings we estimate we need for our 16/17 budget. You may well

have heard or seen news about this in October and you have until 24 November to make your views known to

KCC. Would you accept a 1.99% council tax increase (about 37p a week for a band C house)? If not, the

budget gap rises to £91m.

If you go to www.kent.gov.uk you will find a question about council tax, you can simply answer that or go on to

answer a series of questions about what’s most important to you and what’s least important to you of the

services that KCC provides. We will also be conducting market research and consultations with businesses,

charities, social care organisations, staff and the Trades Unions. You can of course also contact me with your

views.

We need to make the savings principally because of rising demand. We have more elderly to care for, more

people with mental or physical disabilities and the amount of waste from Kent households is rising and KCC

must pay both the landfill tax and disposal costs of what Shepway collects from you all or what you take to the

recycling centres.

We also expect our grant from the government to decrease by £33m (30%). Local government has been asked

to make one of the largest contributions to balancing our nation’s finances and we understand the need to live

within our means. However, we have made the case to the Government that social care must be properly

funded if we are to play our role in helping keep the elderly out of hospitals.

The Chancellor is expected to announce his Spending Review on 25 November and we should have the detail in

December. We will look at the results of our consultation, our market research and the final figures to come

up with our budget proposals by 11 January. They will then be debated by council on 11 February.

Do please take part in the consultation as it’s your opportunity to let us know what you are prepared to pay

and what your priorities are.

Elham’s Historic Houses A Talk by Andy Linklater

of Canterbury Archaeological Trust revealing his latest research

Friday 13 November 2015

8.00 pm Elham Village Hall – Members £3.00 –

Visitors £5.00

VILLAGE TWEETS I love walking my dog around Elham. When she does a poo I bag and bin it. I sometimes see bagged

poo on paths, fences, or worse still thrown over a hedge (sight unseen relieves guilt?). Bag it, bin it.

Please! And whilst on this ‘messy’ subject, thank you to the Hunt staff who now clear up Cullens Hill

after hound exercise.

(This sign is at the top of Cock Lane and much clearer than the photo!).

Flood alerts: Winter approaches and some of you may be concerned about the risk of flooding near

the River Nailbourne. Last year was not a problem, but 2013/14 was extremely difficult. Works have

been carried out by Southern Water since then, but if you have any concerns it may be worth

registering with the Environment Agency Floodline Warnings service. To do this you can either call

them on 0345 988 1188, or visit their website, www.gov.uk/flood. Should there be any flooding

threat, they will either phone you or email you as soon as the threat is detected.

Jon Worrall, Flood Warden, Elham Parish Council

Rozanna, Andy and their family would like to convey heartfelt thanks all the villagers who came to

see their wedding at St Mary’s Church on 3 October. It was wonderful to have your support on this

very happy occasion.

Bourne Veterinary Practice are concerned that at this time of year when the fireworks season is

underway many pets become frightened by the unusual loud noises and bright lights. They can help

with various techniques to ensure your pet is better equipped to cope when the scary noises start.

Call on 01227 832322 for more details.

As the temperatures start to drop and the nights draw in, it is time for tortoises to start thinking about hibernation. This can be a traumatic time for tortoise owners as it can be tricky to successfully hibernate

tortoises. The most important consideration is that your tortoise is healthy and big enough to hibernate safely. If your tortoise is less than three years old, has a shell length less than 10 cm, is underweight or unwell then we would recommend not hibernating it but keeping it awake over winter in a heated vivarium. It is also important to ensure that your tortoise does not hibernate with undigested food in its stomach as this

can make them very poorly. As the temperature drops and the tortoise cools down they will start to slow down and will stop eating. They shouldn’t eat for 2-4 weeks before hibernation to ensure their stomachs are fully empty. During hibernation the most important thing is to try and maintain the tortoises body temperature between 3-

7C and not allow it to fluctuate, which is easier said than done! Tortoises hibernate best in strong plastic boxes with ventilated lids about half filled with soil. The tortoise will bury himself in the soil and this will help keep his temperature constant much more than using straw or paper.

They are best kept in brick outbuildings as these stay cool but protected from frost. It’s a good idea to use a min-max thermometer underneath the soil in the hibernating box which you can check every couple of weeks. Tortoises tend to start waking up again about March when the weather becomes milder and at this stage you should move the box to somewhere warmer and allow them to gradually wake up naturally. Once they are

awake they should be placed in a bath of luke warm water for about 10 minutes to help them rehydrate as it is dehydration rather than starvation that most affects them as they come out of hibernation.

RHODES MINNIS EVENING CIRCLE

Alan Haines was the speaker at our September meeting. He entertained us with music and stories of events from

the Sixties, and caused much merriment with his magical tricks - a most enjoyable evening! The winner of the

competition was Diane Potter, with Daphne Andrews 2nd, Pauline Hodder 3rd and Ronnie Mozley 4th. On 18

November Eve Muggeridge will give us a talk on Stained Glass. We meet at Rhodes Minnis Village Hall at 7.30pm,

and visitors will be made very welcome. For further detaiIs contact Diana Bennett on 01303 862134

On 10 September we had an enjoyable visit to King John’s Nursery and Merriments Garden centre. Sadly, very few

people came, disappointing for both hosts and organisers. The Committee would welcome comments as to

whether other ‘self drive’ visits are worth organising.

On 17 September, our speaker was Stephen Morris (plus Dad) from Farthing Common Nursery. His interesting

and humorous description of bulb growing was very well received.

On 3 October we had a very successful Autumn Coffee Morning. The cake stall, Farthing Common plant stall,

home grown plants and our Bulb Sale were well supported by lots of society members. Our charity this year, the

Air Ambulance, was sent a cheque for £250.

On 15 October there was a large turnout for our speaker Dr Peter Darby, a leading authority on the breeding and

cultivation of hops. He dealt with their history from prehistoric times to the current day, from their peak in the

19th Century to their decline during WW1. However, hops are experiencing a revival with new markets and

manufacturing methods ensuring their future.

Don’t forget the Annual Dinner on 7 November. The speaker on 19 November will be Heather Silk whose

subject will be Flower Names and Folklore.

ELHAM PARISH COUNCIL

Elham Valley Holiday Park: The latest information received by the Parish Council is that Shepway District

Council’s Development Committee were unable to revoke the Certificate of Lawfulness on legal advice. The

Leader, Councillor Monk commented that he is very aware of the strong feelings held by the community and

reiterated that the decision was based on legal advice received by SDC. Further legal discussions will be taking

place which have been funded by local residents. The Parish Council is unable to take any further action at the

present time. It was commented that the structures currently under construction seem to be quite large – a

toilet block the size of a small house.

Football Ground: The owner of the football field at The Gore has generously offered to lease the ground to

the Parish Council at a very reasonable rent of £50 per annum. The Parish Council will assume responsibility for

maintaining the ground and keeping the area tidy. Although a new club has not been formed, KCC Community

Warden, Gary Harrison, is supporting the project and will be talking to keen footballers in the area!

Village Shop: Contrary to the report in the last newsletter we are advised that the shop is now staying in the

current ownership/management and are looking forward to developing their business within the community.

War Memorial: Fitting for the time of year, Historic England has listed the Elham Memorial as Grade 2 to mark

the importance of the memorial not just in the community but also as a structure of historic value.

Community Warden’s Report: Gary Harrison reported that there have been no instances of anti-social

behaviour but he has dealt with some neighbour disputes and dog issues.

Contacting the Parish Council: Please visit the Parish Council’s website for updates on local issues, agendas

and minutes of meetings.

Parish Website: www.elhampc.kentparishes.gov.uk

Email: [email protected]

Clerk: 01304 830200

The next meeting will take place on Monday, 7 November, 7.30pm at the Village Hall.

Cathy Skinner – Parish Clerk

Throughout the year Play for Elham endeavour to run a number of events which are open to all members of the community to

participate in and enjoy. Our primary aim when running these events is to raise funds to pay for the annual insurance

(currently £2K) of our fantastic play park situated on the King George V Playing Field, which itself brings in visitors from far

and wide to our beautiful village.

Recently we have held several events, and would like to take this opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ to everyone who has con-

tributed to our fundraising efforts by donating clothes for our textile collection (which raised £176), or donating cash at the

events. We have also received donations (totalling £270) from Elham Farmers Market and two households in the village. Thank

you also to the Methodist Church for allowing us use of the hall to store the bags of clothing until they were collected. We

are grateful for your continued support and your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.

If you are able to help us by donating a cake or biscuits at our Coffee, Cake and Christmas Crafting Morning on Saturday 14

November (see the poster on page 17 in this newsletter) or can help us serve the drinks we would love to hear from you.

In the summer, due to her family relocating to the North of England, Play for Elham sadly bade farewell to Kate Baker, one of

its founder members. We are pleased to announce that we have recently welcomed Cristina Venturini onto our committee. If

any other villagers would like to join us, we would love to hear from you.

Contacts: [email protected] or [email protected], or call Briony on 840083, or Emma on 840447.

As this is our last newsletter before half term, the staff and governors would like to wish you all an enjoyable and relaxing

holiday; we are back at school on Monday 2nd November. Please remember Profile Photos will be in school on Tuesday 3rd

November to take individual photos during the school day and family group photos before school at 8.30am.

PTA: We had an excellent turnout and really positive start for this year’s PTA with lots of ideas for fundraising events. Our

new Chair is Helen Lester, Treasurer: Emily Arnold and Secretary: Sonia Gosbee, supported by an enthusiastic and motivated

team! The PTA is a vital part of Elham School as proceeds from the events they organise benefit all the children. Monies

raised will be spent on equipment (lists being compiled by the children and School Council!), plus other initiatives such as

helping with the cost of the pantomime trip at Christmas. A huge thank you to Mrs Mowl and Mrs Dale for all their hard work

and dedication as Chair and Treasurer over the last year.

Date for your diary: Our first fundraising event is a Quiz Night on Friday 27th November at 6.30 for 7.00pm start. More

details to following. Advance Warning! This year’s Children in Need Day is on Friday 13th November: we will be

encouraging the children, and staff, to dress up as their heroes and make a donation of £1 for this worthy cause.

Harvest Festival

Thank you to everyone who donated gifts for our Harvest Festival services. Last Friday we joined Rev Kevin and members of

the Methodist Church and on Wednesday Rev Kate led our celebrations in school. It was an opportunity for us all to come

together and consider how lucky we are and say ‘Thank you’ for all the good things we have such as food, shelter and our

families.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD—LOVE IN A BOX: We have been supporting this cause for a number of years

and it’s a great opportunity to think about those children around the world who are less fortunate than ourselves. Shoeboxes

are wrapped and filled with suitable gifts which will be sent in time for Christmas. Jane Seymour will be visiting us next week

to talk to the children about the charity, but in the meantime you can visit their website: www.samaritans-purse.org.uk. Boxes

need to be brought into school by Friday 13th November—please remember to include £3 per shoebox to cover cost of

shipping. Alternatively, if you are unable to fill a whole box but would like to donate a few items, these can be brought to

school to be included in boxes being made up.

Santa’s Fun Run, Sunday 13 December:The Rotary Club are organising another 5k and 3k run which they are encouraging

primary school children to enter, although this is open to all the family! Dust off your trainers and for more information go to

www.santasfunrun.org.uk.

Junior Road Safety Conference 2015 by Leo & Daisy (Year 6)

On 13th October, the Junior Road Safety Officers went to the Dover district conference room for a discussion about road

safety. We listened to five members of Kent County Council each trying to persuade us to think and vote for their chosen

aspect of road safety: Irresponsible Parking, Being Seen on Public Highways, Seatbelts, Cycling and B-vis. We voted for three

categories: Team 1:B-vis, Team 2: Seatbelts and Team 3: Cycling. The day ended with another presentation and we returned

to school. So, with your help, let’s all stay safe!

Key Stage Two – Tuck Shop

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we run a healthy fruit and drink tuck shop, this is open for all the pupils in KS2 (Silver

Birch, Beech and Oak). All fruit is 20p and drinks are 10p each. The tuck shop is run by Molly and Emily (Year Six pupils) in

the school hall from 10.30am until 10.45pm.

BROWNS INVITE YOU TO SHARE

FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS!

Here at Browns we are hosting an Event in aid of Marie

Curie to coincide with their Dinner Down Memory Lane

events.

The date is to be Thursday 26th November 2015 from 2-4pm.

We would like to invite everyone to come along to the

Elham Offices in the High Street to share with us some

favourite food and refreshment from ‘back in the day’ and to

help us raise some funds for a very worthwhile cause.

If anyone would like further information – please just pop by

the office or give us a call on 01303 840422/892000. If you

could RSVP to say you are coming it would also help with

numbers for catering.

We look forward to seeing everyone on the 26th.

News in brief from The Fifth Trust at

Elham Valley Vineyard We have had a very busy few months over the Summer,

with our students and staff attending several local

events promoting the Charity and selling items made in

our various Craft sessions.

Three members of staff appeared in the Folkestone

Herald in June, when they ran a stall at the Elham Food

Fair which was opened by Pam Ferrers of ‘Darling Buds

of May’.

We have two sparkling wines ready for the Christmas

Market, they will be available in our Café.

This year our Annual Craft Fair is on 5 December

from 11 am in our Garden Centre.

Thank you all the the support you continue to give us,

we appreciate it and so do the students.

At our October meeting we were pleased to have present the largest group of members for some

time. We welcomed Paul Hill from Girlings Solicitors who gave a most informative talk. He

covered wills, trust funds, power of attorney and a guide aimed to assist one through the ins and

outs of inheritance tax.

We were so thrilled that the Harp Concert in St Mary’s church proved to be very popular. Huge

thanks go to the talented harpist Federica Massone and everyone else from the village and further afield who

supported us, thank you all for being so generous. We raised in excess of £1300 of which £1000 has gone

immediately to the MS Centre for their use. We will continue to raise funds for this charity for the time being.

Do join us at our next meeting 12 November, ‘It Started with a Bang’, with Dr Gerry Newman – it

sounds interesting!

OCTOBER CONKER BASH 2015 RESULTS

WOW! Thanks once again to the Village Hall committee. The weather was fine, the hog roast delicious. A big

thank you to Hugh and Geoff for getting up at the crack of dawn to roast the hog.

We had far more ladies entering this year … well done, and our youngest competitor was just four! As usual there

were some frantic rounds in the men’s section and the spectators roared them on towards victory. Thank you Pat

Holmes who was snowed under with booking the female competitors. Our adjudicators were kept on their toes,

particularly with the under sevens, another big thank you to Gerry, Richard, Barry, Mark, Martin, Doug, Michael,

Mike, Alex and Richard Comfort.

We are grateful to our sponsors Jackson’s Fencing and Brown’s Estate Agents who helped make the event such a

success.
