A year ago this month, the population of planet earth went about its business as normal, whilst in

the Parish of Little Missenden, folk gathered for morning service in the Parish Church, safe in the

knowledge that, contrary to the doomsayer’s predictions, we were all ‘still here’. On September 10th

2008, deep underground the French-Swiss border, the first beams of protons had been successfully

fired around the 17 mile circular ‘tube’ of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Centre for

Nuclear Research (CERN). Ultimately the plan is to ‘steer’ two beams of protons continuously around

the 17 mile circuit at a speed of one circuit every 90 microseconds (the equivalent of 11,000

revolutions of the 17 mile circuit every second) in opposite directions, eventually to deliberately

cause the beams to collide in an ‘atom smasher’, literally smashing the particles apart in order to

recreate the moment of creation itself, or billionths of a second after the ‘Big Bang’, to investigate

the resulting sub-atomic fragments for new discoveries (that’s ‘boys-own’ physics like I used to

practice as a child, smashing things apart to find out how they work!) Reportedly, concerns had been

expressed by some, admittedly sensationalised by the popular press, that theoretical physics pointed

to the risk of a cataclysmic end to life as we know it, as smashing protons together in this way could

result in the spontaneous creation of ‘black holes’ on earth which would consume us all in the blink

of an eye. In the event, no collisions were engineered, as a fault emerged somewhere in the vast

machinery, resulting in the Collider’s shut-down until later this year. Nevertheless, those who would

caution against delving into the moment of Creation itself, to know the mind of God, had made their

point.

It is no surprise, therefore, that the LHC has been nicknamed the ‘God Machine’, as one of its chief

quests is that for the so-called ‘God Particle’, the ‘Higgs Bosun’ named after the English Professor

who in the 1960’s first postulated that there must be an as yet undiscovered – to use my layman’s,

armchair scientist vocabulary) – ‘stuff’ which gives all other matter its mass (the invisible ‘glue of

existence’ which causes particles to stick together to form ‘things’, everything) and makes sense of

Physics’ ‘Standard Model’, an explanation of life as we know it. Now, far from seeing this scientific

endeavour as diametrically opposed to religion, I, for one, find the LHC enterprise, which has

involved the minds and ingenuity of thousands of scientists and engineers throughout the world, to

be a profoundly spiritual quest, one which, much as Darwin’s quest a century and a half ago,

enhances, rather than detracts from, the awe and wonder and beauty and complexity of creation,

and makes the probability of God far more, not less, likely. In fact, much as I wrote last month, this

is another example of the complementarity of science and faith, the one informing the other. 2000

years ago, St Paul wrote to the young church at Ephesus (Ephesians 4. 4-10) of the reality of God,

‘who is above all, and through all, and in you all’ – in other words, the ‘God Particle’, who not only

gives matter its mass, but also its meaning.

I have just watched two rather entertaining dvds: in the sequel to Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code,

‘Angels & Demons’ (which, whilst a lot of cinematic nonsense – Brown himself admits to weaving

together fact with an awful lot of fiction – was still suspensefully entertaining) the Symbologist

Professor Robert Langdon is hot on the trail of the theft of some ‘anti-matter’ from the LHC, with

which the bad guys are threatening to destroy the Vatican in a cataclysmic explosion of light. To add

to the drama, the Pope has recently died, and Langdon needs Papal permission to enter the Vatican

Archives, so has to ask the Pope’s chamberlain, ‘Il Camerlengo’, who first wishes to know Langdon’s

motive - a dialogue ensues: Camerlengo: “Do you believe in God sir? Langdon: Father, I simply believe that religion…”

Camerlengo: “I did not ask if you believe what man says about God, I asked if you believe in God.”

Langdon: “I’m an academic. My mind tells me I will never understand God.” Camerlengo: “And your

heart?” Langdon: “...tells me I’m not meant to. Faith is a gift that I have yet to receive.”

Faith indeed is a gift, not something that can be forced, imposed, or manufactured, but perhaps an

intuition to be discovered. In the film ‘Bridge to Terabithia’, a young girl, Leslie, a creative free-spirit,

attends church with her new-found friend Jess, his younger sister Maybelle, and their parents. After

singing "The Old Rugged Cross" and listening to the sermon, she gushes to Jess and Maybelle that

the "whole Jesus thing is interesting ... I think it's beautiful." Maybelle promptly rebuffs her with the

seriousness of God's judgment, explaining that "if you don't believe in the Bible, God will damn you

to hell when you die." Leslie's unconvinced. “I really don't think God will damn you to hell ... He's too

busy running all this," she responds, referring to the natural world they see around them.

You have to believe it, and you hate it. I dont have to believe it, and I think its beautiful.

With every blessing, Fr John

Festival Chairman John Buston on a 50 year success story…

W hy has the Festival kept going for so long? Well, Little Missenden is a delightful and unspoilt village set in rolling Chilterns countryside. Most

performances are given in the fine and intimate acoustic of the village’s Saxon-cum-Norman church of St John the Baptist, with its celebrated medieval wall paintings. Imaginative programme planning which weaves together unfamiliar, new or forgotten repertoire with established classics and by young artists making a name for them-selves works well, with a dedication to quality in repertoire, performance and presentation of events. In an informal and friendly atmosphere, concerts usually generate a lively buzz of conversation in the intervals and after the performances. There is a strong backbone of local support from the Festival Friends and other benefactors, whose donations enable it to attract artists that a small rural festival just could not afford from ticket income alone. And it has a dedicated team of volunteers who work through the year to make sure audiences enjoy a stimulating and well-organised experience. From Jazz to Beethoven, Bach & Mozart, new music by John Taverner and Richard Drakeford, other highlights of this year’s Festival will be the great cellist Rohan de Saram who will play Richard Drakeford’s Second Cello Suite (the work that opened the first Little Missenden Festival concert in 1960), and Ruth Padel, a great, great granddaughter of Charles Darwin, reading her poetry and discussing his life and work. Visit the website at www.little-missenden.org for more information about the programme, or call the box office on 01494 864686.

Golden Music Jubilee: 50 years of The Little Missenden Festival

of music & the arts Between the 9th & 18th October Little Missenden will be celebrating 50 years of its annual Festival of music & the arts, founded in 1960 by lovingly remembered villager Pat Harrison (pictured left). In 1969, celebrating the first successful ten years of the Festival, Pat wrote of its conception:

Rachel Podger & Gary Cooper performing at the 48th Little Missenden Festival in 2007.

T he idea of a Festival here started just before Christmas 1959 when Rohan de Saram and Richard Drakeford were staying for the weekend at Dering Cottage: both were at Oxford and Richard Drakeford (left) knew Rohan well. As I

drove Rohan back to Oxford I remarked that I had hardly managed to do anything for music in my life; a certain amount of teaching, a few small compositions—nothing really. Rohan said

Champion of track & field

or How: fast was he!

R etired landlord of the Crown Inn in Little Missenden, Ron How has anything but retired from competition. As family and friends know well, back in the 1960’s Ron was a champion of the speedway TRACK, and in

retirement remains a perennial champion of the village FIELD, revered for the size of his onions and the length of his runner beans which regularly beat the competition at the Village Show. It was undoubtedly that same competitive spirit which saw Ron through a bout of serious illness last year. We re-produce here an extract from an article about Ron’s Speed-way career which appeared in Speedway Star earlier this year. Landlord Trevor How can look out of the kitchen door of the Crown Inn and see the field where his Dad’s racing career really began … Then he can walk back inside the 17th

7

And the winner is...Ron is No 1 again at this year’s Little Missenden Village Show with the longest runner bean

century pub he now runs in the Buckinghamshire village of Little Missenden and scan the pictures on the walls. They tell the remarkable dual tale of a sporting family from farming stock that bred not only a World Finalist but a professional footballer (Trevor) who helped Watford climb from the lower reaches of the old Fourth Division to the brink of the top-flight.

Trevor is clearly proud of Dad Ron’s achievement – and rightly so. Ron who used to combine the twin roles of top rider and mine host at The Crown, was in eight World Finals – best finish was joint fourth in his farewell appearance in 1964 – and rode in each of the first three World Team Cup Finals and again in 1964.

Ron will be 80 in December, but was transported back to 1960 as he sifted through his cuttings book and leafed through old programmes that only tell a fraction of his life turning left. His family confess they thought they were going to lose him last year when he was in hospital with prostate cancer and heart problems but the resolve and inner courage that played such a big part in his racing career pulled him through.

Now he’s looking ahead to being able to win yet more prizes for his onions and runner beans at this summer’s Little Missenden Village Show, organised by the local branch of the Women’s Institute. Ron clearly takes pride in his horticultural expertise, but is modestly reticent about his achievements on the track.

He said: “I don’t remember much about any of the World Cup Finals except that I broke my back at Gothen-burg in the first one and it cost me my place in that year’s World Final. I got smashed and flew

back to Heathrow Airport. They took me to Amersham Hospital and I was three weeks on my back,” he said. “We wouldn’t take our own mechanics, we would just have one or two helping the whole team. We only had one bike each and maybe a spare engine but that was it and we had to pay for our own tyres and everything. I’m not being blasé but you used to fly out in an old Dakota, they would take some of the seats out for the bikes, have a few days around the meeting and then fly back again. Being a young chap, you wouldn’t think of anything of it but it was nothing like today where riders have bikes in different countries and fulltime mechanics.”

“I can remember one meeting in Poland – probably a Test match – when we got there a bit late and they held it up a little bit for us but by the time we got there it was dark and they didn’t have any floodlights. So they got cars all the way round the track and had the headlights on so we could do the meeting. I said to ‘Mac’ (Ken McKinlay) that I was not very keen because the Poles were very hard riders so we didn’t try too hard although the Poles rode as they normally would even though it wasn’t that easy to see! I felt sorry for the Polish people, they had all the old buildings knocked down by the occupying Russians, this was in the old Iron Curtain and it was hard for them. There was rationing and you heard stories of lads getting killed training because being a speedway rider was one way of getting out of the poverty. It was so different for me, being a young chap in his 20s and never being abroad before.” It as an alarming introduction to a different world for Ron who had been brought up on his father’s tenancy farm rented off Squire Drake in the rolling Chiltern Hills, just half an hour’s walk from his current cottage home. He recalls: “The squire would take us – my parents, my three brothers and sister – and all the other farming tenants to the big house at Christmas. We’d sit around the table for jellies and then your name would be called out and Father Christmas, standing by the big Christmas tree would take a little parcel off and hand it to you. I suppose we were only paupers or peasants and this is what happened with rich people, for every-one else the money wasn’t there in the thirties. “The Squire, who we all called Sir, had a few thousand acres and about 15 tenants. My father was one of them and the Drake family owned all the land until the 50s when it had to be sold to some sausage makers because of death duties. I was only 15 when the War finished, I was working on Dad’s farm and got to the stage I didn’t know what I was doing in life.Then speedway started and a new career started for me. That was a bit of a different way of life. “When I started, you’d get £1 a start and £1 a point. If you worked you would get maybe three bob (15p) an hour, £1 a day and you’d go to a meeting and could get as much in a night’s racing as some people were earning in a month. That’s what happened with a lot of sportsmen, you would earn more money than going to work and that was the inspiration years ago, the money. You had to get into the top ten to earn the big money though, you could earn £25 to £30 a night and you’d get the open meetings, Test matches, lots of extra meetings and you could be racing in London along five nights a week!”

(Continued from page 7)

Ron had gone to a speedway meeting at Wembley shortly after the end of the Second World War but had no thoughts about trying his hand until they staged a grass track meeting in the village. He admits: “It was the first one after the war and was on the cricket pitch. There must have been about 2,000 people there and I think I got the bug from there. “My brother Eddie said, ‘let’s have a little go’ and this is how it all started.” He joined the Amersham and Chalfont Grass track Club and within a year was invited for speedway trials by Harringay who, along with West Ham and Wembley, ran regular training sessions at Rye House in 1949. Prospective riders only had to report for duty with their leathers and boots and would be kitted out and loaned a school bike for the day. He clearly impressed the tutors, was signed by the Raers and came through the ranks, racing in the second-half junior meeting before his First Division debut in 1951. Little more than a year later, he was making his World Final debut and he stayed at Green Lanes until the track’s closure. He moved to Wimbledon in 1955, forming a potent heat leader spearhead with World Champions Ronnie Morre and Barry Briggs. Ron took over The Crown Inn in 1964 – it had been in his wife Doreen’s family since they moved into the beautiful, peaceful village from Swindon. And she created a bit of a stir with the young lads, Ron recalling: “She was about 12 or 13 when she first came and there was a little bit of new ‘crumpet’ in the village. “I used to go into the pub to play darts and, as she got a little bit older, I kissed her under the mistletoe one Christmas and it started from there. We finally got married in 1954, I took the pub in 1964 and got out of it in 1994, when my son Trevor took over. And every year I was in the pub I’d put up a piece of mistletoe in the same place as where it had been the Christmas I first kissed her!” It’s a truly romantic tale – and some of the old drawing pin marks can still be seen in the pub ceiling –from someone who had to be tough and rugged on the track. With tracks closing down every week or so during the fifties and team places dwindling as fast as a modern-day pensioner’s retirement savings, it had to be every man for himself. By the time the World Cup was launched in 1960, Ron had ridden in four World Finals and was ranked as England’s number two behind Peter Craven. In the first two years of the competition, England raced against Australia and New Zealand (and, in the first season, a mongrel side, quaintly named The Challengers) for the right to go through to the final.

Bucks Best Kept Village 2009

O n Saturday 12th September Vice Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire Jenny Hopkirk presented the Gurney Cup to Little Missenden Parish Councillor Des Legg, which is awarded

to the Buckinghamshire Best Kept Village with a population of up to 500 people. The village narrowly missed out on the award last year because of a dilapidated bus shelter, but after the Parish Council allocated money to renovate the shelter, judges made the award for the first time in 47 years., commenting also upon the fine condition of the churchyards, in which the Parochial Church Council has invested considerably over the last 18 months, thanks not least to the generosity of very many friends and relatives of those commemorated in them.

Vice Lord Lieutenant Jenny Hopkirk presents the Gurney Cup to Cllr Des Legg on the Red Lion Green; Landlord Alan How & son Paul, David Hill & many other villagers, along with Des Legg & others, worked hard to ensure that the village was rewarded this year.

Ron had the honour of going out for the first-ever World Cup race in this country. In 1961, England again ruled domestically but after a second and third place in the World Final, it was decided to enter an all embracing British Commonwealth side, racing under the Great Britain banner in 1962. Ron retained his place as one of three Englishmen in that team and still has the colourful pennant that was handed to all the riders in the World Final at Slany, Czechoslovakia. He remembers: “They also gave us a lovely crystal flower vase, blue and quite nice!”

(Continued from page 8) Ron had his last ride at the same place he had taken his first World Cup outing: Wimbledon. The date was Monday, July 5, 1965, and Ron had just finished third in Heat 5 of the Great Britain v Soviet Union international when his throttle stuck open and he plunged into the fence. He said: “It was a terrible track, I’d never known it like that and I don’t know what they were trying to do.Even if I hadn’t crashed I wouldn’t have ridden again the way it was.The throttle jammed after crossing over the line and I dislocated my shoulder and also had a pelvic injury. I had the pub by then and decided that was it – and never rode again.”

“you ought to start a festival in your village to play and talk. I would like to come. It seems a place that has a harmonious atmosphere.” This seemed a better idea than crowding all my friends into one small sitting room to hear him play: I said, however, that the village was very small. Next morning, lying awake early, the faces of people who might be interested kept bobbing up, until I thought “I believe we could do something.” How it went on:

Philip James: A splendid thought! Go and see Eric White at the Arts Council. Eric White: Am I interested in ideas? Of course—proceed… Nancy Strode: Go and see Ursula Vaughan-Williams. Mrs Vaughan-Williams: Have a clubroom in the school, and get your money first. First patron: It’s an honour to be asked… Non-patron: I am not interested but you may use my name on your notepaper. Non-patron: I only back things that will succeed. Bob Henderson: I don’t mind putting a tenner on it. Non-patron: Why not take Aylesbury town hall? Mrs Boucher: I know you will succeed in Little Missenden if you want to enough. Francis Roberts (vicar): I have always wished for a Festival in the church. Geraint Jones: Get a good treasurer, and be prepared to be disliked. Richard Drakeford: I’ll think of some music we’d like to hear. Ailsa Dixon: Have a concert for children, and try to do a play in the church. A realist: The village hall looks rather derelict (not any more!). Michael Cox: Cheer up, after all, it’s a village; people will like it. Sir Bruce Ingram: I will lend early watercolours. Philip James: I will select and arrange them. Rohan de Saram: I could play Rubbra’s cello sonata with him. Geraint Jones: I could bring a string orchestra and Helen Watts. Pat Harrison: I must get some more funds. Neil Saunders: I could conduct the Great Missenden Choral Society Richard Drakeford: I know music undergraduates in Oxford.

Neil Saunders: You should use the St Christopher motif. Jane Nicholson: I've done the drawing. Godfrey Harrison: I'll do the layout. Bill Summers: We've made a block; it looks good (& still does!) Philip James (chairman of the committee): We must have a party to launch the Festival. A Realist: Who will get it ready? Ann Pretty: I'll help. Someone: Who will pour the drinks? Three teenagers: If we've nothing else on, we'll stroll down and see if anyone turns up and pour them a drink. Betty Hart: I've run home for more sherry glasses. Laurie Meynell: This party is a success. Margaret Laws (headmistress): I will clear the school for a clubroom. Ann Gammell: Come and meet Joan Riches Joan Riches and Ria Vogel: We will be responsible for catering and cook omelettes. Many Others: We will cook too. Jim Lennards: I will ask for a licence. Mr and Mrs Moore: We will look after the bar. The Harts: We have planned out the seating and will be the box office. The Smiths: We will move the pews. Sid Orchard: I will arrange for bell ringing. Louis McNeice: I will read some of my poems Michael Cox: By candlelight. A Churchwarden: Are all these people our parishioners? A parishioner: Will there be fag ends in the font and beer in the belfry? Francis Roberts: John North is to give us a £30 grant from the Bucks County Council. Philip James: The Arts Council of Great Britain are sending their regional music officer to observe the Sunday concert. Mrs Edmondes: I have put a large vase high up with lilies in it. Pat Harrison: The Cochin's lighting is marvelous. Everyone: The Church has never looked more beautiful!
