FARMING NOTES July 2012Tom has been keeping Charolais cattle for the last 20 years and has always dreamed of breeding an exceptional animal that would get his herd known throughout the country and maybe, would top the cattle sales. Bleaklow Goldsmith was born 7 months ago from excellent parents - recorded for growth rate, muscle score and ease of calving, he was on the Charolais website as being one of the top young bulls in the country. Tom had a lot of interest from fellow breeders; one, from as far away as Southern Ireland, wanted to come across and buy it but the bull wasn’t for sale until it was older. Then, a few weeks ago, a tragedy happened. Tom went to check a bunch of his Charolais in a field on Church Lane and Goldsmith was lying in the middle of the field with a broken back leg. The vet said that as the leg was broken high up, he couldn’t help it and sadly, it would have to be slaughtered. Redferns from Buxton were called to put the bull down in the field and took it away in their trailer, leaving Tom devastated. What we think happened was that one of the cows in this group was ‘in service’ and the young bull had been trying to jump on it and had fallen badly. My father would tell me “where you have life, you have losses” but it is no consolation, especially as he was probably the best animal bred on Church Lane Farm.So what with this event, terrible wet weather and a catastrophic drop in milk prices from our milk buyers, July hasn’t been a good month. But we have to move on and I’ve just seen on the weather forecast that a high pressure is coming so by the time you read this, the sun could be shining on us all.Roger Cox

Olympic Well Dressing Team!The children of Longstone school have once again come up with some inspiring drawings to illustrate an historic year. Under the expert artistic guidance of Jane Littlefield they came down in small groups to create a beautiful well. They were helped this year by a very small army of adults who put in a lot of hours. Well done to all who contributed to this years well and huge thanks to Jane for coordinating it all and creating another beautiful well. In a bit of an experiment on the Sunday after the church fete, the Village Hall opened up to provide teas, cakes, cards and crafts to the visitors who came to admire the well.
The original child's drawing
A steady flow of customers saw the takings reach nearly £300 - all profit for the the Village Hall, a registered charity. A small team of helpers did a fantastic job serving and washing up as well as baking superb cakes and the best bit ... not a drop of rain fell all day!

Grand Spring Raffle & Ferret Racing Night – THANK YOU!
With the red, white and blue of Jubilee celebrations now behind us, we wanted to thank everyone in our community who contributed to our recent fundraising efforts for Longstone School. A very successful night of ferret racing took place Ashford Memorial Hall on 26th May followed by the draw of the Friends of Longstone School Grand Spring Raffle during our Jubilee celebrations in school. Between them, these two events have raised a massive £4,000 and we are tremendously grateful for your support and encouragement in making an enormous impact on our goal, in such a relatively short time.With our very grateful thanks to all those who have supported us so far, Libby Knifton-Smith, John Fawcett, Angela Unwin and the Friends of Longstone School.

OPEN GARDENS
The weather at the weekend of Open Gardens was better than many this year but, typically of this summer, included spells of very heavy rain. Over the course of the weekend 17 gardens were open to the public and the comments received at the Car Park at the end of each day expressed visitors’ pleasure at the variety of gardens to view. Numbers attending were slightly down on 2011, possibly partly due to the weather and to the amount of competition from other Villages’ Open Gardens and other activities which clashed. The amount raised for Church funds was slightly in excess of £1,600.We are extremely grateful to all who opened their gardens, to Catherine and Hugh Wright and Ruth and Mike Hirst and all their helpers for providing teas. Grateful thanks are also due to Roger Cox for allowing us to use his field for car parking and to the Casey family for selling pre-event programmes.Finally, we would wish to say that. Those who opened their gardens, each year tell us of their pleasure in the compliments they receive and the enjoyment in chatting to appreciative and like-minded visitors.

Police News Trading Standards are warning Derbyshire residents to be aware of unsolicited telephone calls from businesses claiming to offer “free” burglar alarms, following a number of reports that such businesses are targeting elderly and vulnerable consumers in the county. The callers may mislead people into believing that the alarms are ‘free’ and that the business is working with the police. They may also suggest that crime is rising in the consumer’s area. They will persuade people to have a subsequent home visit which in practice can become a pressurised sales pitch, often lasting for hours. The alarms offered may well be free but the cost of maintaining and monitoring the system will be very expensive and the agreement can last for many years. Claims are also often made about alarms being directly linked to police stations, which is not the case. Trading Standards advice is to be very cautious of such calls. If you do buy anything costing over £35 from a trader at your door, then the law gives you a 7 day “cooling off” period to change your mind. The trader must give you a written cancellation notice if you agree to buy the goods or service. Failure to give this notice is a crime. If you are considering purchasing an alarm or other security system for your home then it is highly recommended that you obtain several quotes before making a commitment. You can also find reputable traders on the Derbyshire County Council Trusted Trader Scheme. Officers vet all traders on the scheme for trustworthiness and to ensure that they comply with consumer protection laws. You can call Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline to report such activity and get advice about consumer issues. If you’re looking for a Trusted Trader contact Call Derbyshire on 08456 058058 or log on to www.derbyshire.gov.uk/trustedtrader
Traidcraft UpdateSales this month totalled £560, helped by £37 at the Pilsley School Summer Fayre and £62 at the Methodist Church Coffee Morning.Celia began keeping bees in 1999 and now has 25 hives. She is a member of Apicoop, the Chilean co-operative that supplies Traidcraft with honey, which Angela and I visited about 18 months ago. This has totally changed Celia’s life. She was elected to the board of Apicoop which stimulated her to finish high school. She received university training through Apicoop and now works in the co-op’s laboratory two days a week.Before keeping bees,’ she says, ‘I had no thoughts that any of this was possible. I could not even have dreamt of it.’ Her dream is for her 5 children also to finish high school and study further. The money she earns will help to make this possible.Celia is just one of about 700
beekeepers who belong to Apicoop. They talk freely of the huge difference fair trade benefits have made to their lives. Why not try some of their honey?Peter Bird (01629 813087)

To whom it may concern...I enjoy living and walking around this lovely area and wondered if it was correct that the footpaths opened to walkers can have electric wires crossed over them.
1. At the crossroads of Hardrake Lane (to the Rowland side) an electric fence has been put up across the Lane itself, near where the Signposts are pointing to all the different directions.
2. Opposite the Water Tower steps in
Reply from the EditorI am unable to help with the solution to your questions I am afraid, however, if there is a solution to be had this is probably one of the best places to find one.If any of our readers can shed any light on the above, I would be more than pleased to pass the information on to Vivienne. please email:- [email protected]

Thornbridge Garden PartyFlying owls, the Great Lorenzo magician, live music, craft stalls and a funfair kept thousands of visitors entertained at the tenth annual Thornbridge Hall Charity Garden Party on Sunday.Owners Emma and Jim Harrison opened the doors to their home and ten acres of formal gardens in Ashford in the Water as a host of small charities raised vital funds for a variety of good causes.The four main charities to benefit from the amazing fun day were The Children's Hospital Charity, Helen's Trust, the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline and Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.Emma and Jim were delighted that so many people braved the changeable weather conditions to support the garden party. Emma said: "This is our tenth annual event and it just keeps getting bigger and better. In that time we have raised more than £250,000 for some brilliant small charities whose dedication and hard work of so many volunteers helps an incredible number of people in need. "Both Jim and I love sharing our home and gardens with as many people as possible to make the day such a fabulous success. Gillian Scotford, from Dronfield, a voluntary fundraiser for Bluebell Wood, the four-year-old charity which runs one of only 40 children's hospices in the country for youngsters with a shortened life expectancy, said: "It is fantastic how Emma and Jim give their home to the benefit of so many charities throughout the whole year - but especially for their annual garden party. "it was a great day and not only does the event raise vital funds for us it also goes a long way to raising awareness with the general public and other charities.Rebecca Staden, of The Children's Hospital Charity, said: "It was a terrific event. There are only four dedicated
children's hospitals in the UK and we have got one of them in Sheffield. "More than 245,000 patient visits are made to the hospital every year -enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly three times."Sophie Gill, community fundraiser for Helen's Trust, the 11-year old charitywhich raises funds to help support people with terminal illness at home, explained: "We had a superb day. The event gives smaller charities like us the perfect opportunity to tell so many people about the work we do."Wendy Watson, from Over Haddon, who set up the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline in 1996, said: "it is a fabulous opportunity to raise funds and boost the profile of our charity. It is amazing the number of people who were genuinely interested in our work."

Rowland there is a gap so that you can get back onto the lane and now there is also an electric wire across this exit or entry point.
3. Also..... ( this time nothing to do with electric wires ) a walk I would love to take from Buskey Cottage on Longreave Lane Rowland to the Toll Bar House near the Monsal Trail. The sign post points directly across the field but my map indicates that it is a more diagonal route. Not many people must use this walk as there are no signs of where people have walked plus the grass is very long and water clogged but I would still like to know if you walk down against the wall or across the field to the right on a more diagonal path.Thanks for your help on these matters.RegardsVivienne Butler

Parish Council NotesApologies Received from Cllrs Cooper and LongDeclarations of Interest Stated by Cllr Wright (his employer)
A polite cough from the only member of the public in attendance, apart from me, (Mr Mike Scawen) in the gallery, reminded the Chairman that he had missed the public part of the meeting. The Chairman duly apologised and closed the closed part of the meeting, opened the open meeting, so offering Mr Scawen his opportunity to speak.Mr Scawen’s concern centred on the recycling bins in the White Lion car park which often and quickly become over full. He advised that he planned to attend a meeting in Bakewell soon regarding council changes to recycling systems. The Chairman said that he thought there was a longer term plan to issue all houses with a bigger recycling bin and a food bin with changes to collection rates and he confirmed that the recycling bins was an agenda item.
The closed meeting was then re-opened.Minutes of last meeting were agreed and signed as a true record.Recreation Ground Cllr Long had circulated a job of works and some repairs/jobs had been carried out already. All agreed the changes were an improvement. Some Cllrs had observed children playing around the new window that had been created to mimic the play facility of Ethel’s house (allowing children to play shops, perhaps training to help Mr Casey). The lottery plaque to acknowledge a proportion of funding for the equipment was produced by the clerk and admired by all. Discussion as to where it might be displayed followed…’on the noticeboard…that is what it is for afterall’..’on the bench’ ‘on a piece of equipment’. Look around
and see if you can spot the ultimate decision.
Cllr Frankland has also been liaising with a family about a small stone in memory of their son. The exact location, which will be discreet at their request is yet to be agreed with them.
There followed much debate about where to put a notice relating to ownership of the recreation ground and play equipment , expected behaviour, public responsibility etc especially relating to dog owners. Finally it was agreed that less, was more and a brief symbol would be stuck to the back of the current dog sign.Equipment for older children A meeting has taken place in which there was discussion of possible surfaces. A proposal is to be developed to be discussed with Peak Park before the village consultation process gets underway.Village Greens The item referring to West Green Moles was axed from the agenda!I think the sentiment was that they (the moles) are allowed back (onto the agenda) once they have moved house. Organic remedies to encourage their ‘flitting’ (a good Scottish term) were to be passed to Bruno for trial.Cllrs discussed their rosier perspective on the new look central village green with its recently axed Hawthorn. (It was evidently too old and unstable, which is somewhat worrying, for many of us). The replacement tree may therefore be sighted elsewhere. This will be discussed at the village inspection in September. (If you have views on this or any matter you should contact the Clerk in the first instance).Burial GroundsIt seems that the PC has confirmed that it does have discretionary monies to pay for costs. However Cllrs agreed that payment should continue to be based on annual requests and no specific ‘ring fenced’ monies should be allocated to this.
Cllr. Cox sought clarification. The Chairman felt there had been an error in last month’s UTE report and advised this month that anyone who had questions or concerns regarding gravestones should contact the ‘Church Authorities’.FootpathsA villager had suggested that the PC take over responsibility for cutting the verges.
Cllrs felt this would not be a good idea since the contracted monies would go down over future years while costs would go up.The strimming of verges evidently takes place five times throughout the spring and summer. (It is true that they don’t seem to have been cut very often this year if at all in some cases.) It is supposed to be carried out by Derbyshire Dales District Council on behalf of the County Council. There seemed to have been comments from residents that some verges had not been cut. Cllrs felt nothing could be done till next year at which stage we should monitor closely to see if the cuttings were actually being carried out.Please take notice of your verge (you will hopefully see and enjoy some wonderful summer wildlife, flora and fauna). If your verge has not been cut, I have been asked to ask you to let the PC know.Street LightingIt has been agreed that Casey’s light may remain on. The timings of others going off evidently cannot be changed. Cllrs were aware that some residents would like the light at the end of the footpath from Croft road to the recreation ground to remain on. Unfortunately this is to be switched off.Grit BinThe grit bin at the corner of the churchyard has moved. Cllr Thompson suggested the Highways Authority be asked to ‘shift it back’.Recycling areaThe area in the White Lion car park becomes regulary untidy as the bins become overfull. There are evidently to be changes soon to our recycling arrangements and a move to a 2 weekly refuse collection for normal waste along with a weekly waste food bin collection. It was believed that household’s would recieve information fairly soon. James Cox seemed to give information on this item but I couldn’t hear it. It was agreed that no official information was known and we would have to wait and see.B.O.A.Ts are to be added to Black Harry Lane in two sections. Could this relate to Little Longstone’s wonderful Titanic inspired well dressing? While Cllrs were discussing this amongst themselves over a map we could not see I sort of thought that maybe this was not information I was meant to know.

51/12 Matters arising.
51.1 Speeding at Monsal Head.The members discussed that DCC are not looking at reducing the speed limit at Monsal Head and this is not satisfactory. It was reported that
traffic moves along at a great speed and crossing the road from the Monsal Head Hotel is a challenge both for locals and tourists. Resolved to ask the Clerk to write again to DCC stating that the Parish are not satisfied with the last letter from them, the stretch of road is dangerous,the speed limit should be reduced and any further recommendations they may have.51.2 Parking.The Chair read out a letter received from DCC regarding parking concerns. The letter stated that the current white lines in the Chapel vicinity should now have been extended. However the request to extend the one near Parva Cottage a little further in the village direction was not granted. DCC stated that other areas have also been affected by the Peak Parks decision to open the tunnels. DCC have asked the parish to update them on parking, particulary in the tourist high season. Parishoners reported that the village cones are useful, but heavy to manouve, short term solution. Mrs E Adamson/Mrs C. Burns to monitor parking in the coming months, with data if possible, with a view to writing to DCC in September with a report.51.3 Streetlighting/part night. T h e C l e r k re p o r t e d t h a t t h e consulatation process for the part night street lighting had come to an end. Parishoners had been given the opportunity to contact DCC direct. No reply had been received from DCC regarding proposed costings for a new street lamp between The Manor and The Stocks section.51.4 Monsal head short term carpark (benches,interpretation panel, bins, ice cream van). It was noted that under Ashford Parish in the long term car park, memorial gardens are being dug out. Clerk to inform Ashford Parish.Three letters were read out regarding this area, highlighting the untidiness of the area with regards to the physical car park.Benches/Interpretation panel. The Clerk reported that both licenses have now been signed. Clerk is awaiting an update on a timescale for the new interpretation panel from PDNPA. Memorial benches, approx six to date are being ordered imminently by DDDC. The plan from both parties was for the panel and benches to be in by the summer holidays at the latest. The members are keen to get the benches
Jubilee Cllr Wright reported on the brilliant mosaic in the bus shelter. (It’s worth going on the bus to have a closer look at its lovely colours. We should really have a bus shelter picnic to toast it and its designer and creators)Council Administration carries on as usual and costs around £350 a month.Financial mattersIns and outs were itemised (see above)Mowing the recreation ground cost £1,225.00 first half yearThank you’s were sincerely forwarded to Casey’s shop for donating jubilee ices and to the WI for their kind donation Planning applicationsOne extension in 6, The Meadows Grisedale Road. Cllrs offered ‘No comment’Clerks report and correspondence Included a long list of circulars, few of which were taken up as of being of any importance, the Clerk mentioned one relating to the Derbyshire Dales’ ‘Excellence in the Community Award’ and also a Sports Award. Look these up on the website if you would like to nominate someoneDONM Wed 8th August AOB - Cllr Thompson suggested the PC send a letter of congratulations to the ‘Longstone Olympic Competitor’.Just as we were about to leave Cllr Frankland announced that this would be his last meeting. As Cllrs turned in surprise and alarm, the Chairman closed the meeting. So I am afraid, I don’t know what happened next!Alison Waltho

in asap as the area is not looking very satisfactory.Bins/Litter/weeds . The three bins were discussed. The Clerk highlighted that if the Parish were to purchase three large capacity covered bins, these would be £300 each, whereby DDDC would remove the old ones and install the new. There was some discussion as to the number of bins, some had been removed, the members presumed these were those with no lids. It was felt there were 6 bins. Clerk to clarify this information. Litter around the area was highlighted both by the letter received and parishioners/visitors. Clerk to write to DCC in the first instance to ask where the old bins are and plans for the summer, if it is the case that the bins have been removed. C. Barnes to be asked to do two sessions of weedkilling/strimming/extra thorough litter pick in the short term car park area, between Middle of June and Middle of September. This is on top of the usual schedule (he currently litter picks every Monday). Strimming also to be carried out on the grass verges leading from the Monsal Head Hotel, ending after last two properties in Wardlow direction (two sessions as above). Strimming etc to be reviewed at the September meeting, looking into the next year.Ice cream van. It was resolved for N/J Mantell to monitor the ice cream van and its operations during the next two weeks, looking at possible drink sales, noise of van and tidying of litter around van area at end of day. It has been highlighted that the running of the van changes, from the vans used, operator in the van, noise variation, ad hoc drink sales, ad hoc not picking up of litter, with no continuity.

Village History (1968)
In 1968 the village newspaper was called the ‘Longstone Echo’ I have extracted a few interesting articles which appeared in several issues from this year . The paper was published fortnightly in addition to the ‘Parish Magazine’ which is now integrated into and is an integral part of ‘Under The Edge’.
The headline for December 13th 1968 issue was as follows:-
Take your Pick!!
The Echo has made a profit for 1968 - which wasn’t the Intention. So on saturday the staff are taking a trip to Sheffield to spend it! You’ll see what on at 2.30 on Sat. 21st Dec. when we are holding a “Take Your Pick”. Five people will be chosen roughly at random to take part in a “yes-no” interlude, to be followed by 3 big prizes and 3 “boobies”. Entry will be 1/- per person (6d, for children under 12, and free to old age pensioners). All door takings, will then fill our “Treasure Chest” - to add to our big prizes. There will be free refreshments for everyone, ballons, paper hats, and a good old fashioned sing-song, with all the old numbers from “Daisy” to “She was only a girl in a Gilded Cage”. COME TO THE ECHO’S “ TAKE YOUR PICK” - EVERYONE WELCOME.
Letter from Longstone W.I.Dear Editor,I am intensely interested in what the young people of Longstone are trying to do for their village, and have ordered a copy of The Echo to be delivered to me regularly so that I may follow their progress.May I also be allowed a small space in the above to say a few words about the Womens Institute, which can also have a great influence on the social life of the village.Contrary to the conception many people outside our movement have of the W.I. we are not entirely composed of elderly people. We welcome young members 18 and over, and have much to offer, and indeed are dependant on them to keep our movement progressive.Next year we are altering the time of our meetings, and in January they will start at 7.30 pm instead of 7pm, in the hope that young married people will find it more convenient, and will be encouraged to join us.Good Luck to the LYP’s - include us in your schemes whenever we can help - It is said that young and old don’t mix, but in the words of your editorial “Let us forget age, and have a crack at the impossible together!”D.BoothPresident of Longstone W.I. (1968)
White Lion Hotel ChessA drink, a cigar and a quiet game of chess. There are worse ways of spending an afternoon. Every Sunday 12.30 to 2.30pm in the White Lion Hotel. Makes a change from Dominoes
St. Giles’ Players - Present!Please come! - We’ll find you a seat! Much work and organisation has been done with particular thanks to Mrs Reeves - to provide a “Medley”, involving 2 sketches: “Breakfast at Hampton Court” (or Till Death us do part), and “The Merry Wives of Windsor”; musical interludes; Keith Adamson entertains; and “A resounding Tinkle” (or what to do if you’ve accidentally bought an elephant!)All this and refreshments!The date? Dec. 19th, and 20th, The time? 7.30pm.Now we need an audience - What about you?! And remember - all profits go to Cancer Research.
Know your Village Part VI
In 1356 The Black Death swept the country destroying 2/3 of the population. There were no longer enough men to work the land under the feudal system. Longsdon, like the rest of England turned to sheep farming because one man could look after a lot of sheep. You could imagine what would happen when Mr. Longdon’s sheep got mixed up with Mr. Wright’s - so came our earliest enclosure hedges and ditches, and in Derbyshire - stone walls.The common man was poor - change did not affect him. John Symons of Derby. a well to do man, had only “ Bedding - trestle table, -with stools - pewter worth 3/8 - 2 pots - 2 pans - and a spit.After the War of the Roses even the well to do were taxed out of existence.The manor of Little Longsdon was sold to the Cheshire Shakerleys - who also built a fine house in Great Longsdon known to us as Shakerley Building, where they lived until the 17th century, when they in turn sold it to Bess of Hardwick in the reign of Elizabeth I.There was little change - all cattle were killed in the winter, except those kept for breeding, so only salted meat was available. Pigeons provided the easiest source of fresh meat, and they were encouraged to nest in farms and in special pigeon cotes.Bees were also essential to provide the only sweetener - honey.The Lady of the Hall cared for the sick and needy with herbs and such.
A Grim editorialOn the 19th december there will be a medley of plays given by the St. Giles’ Players in the Institute.Much will depend on what is put into them and what support is given.If support is not there; if everybody doesn’t pull their weight; if apathy arises again; not only is no future action taken, but enthusiasts turn into cynics and spirit turns to despair. So lets make that Christmas effort and help all we can - and let the plays be only the first of many!
WHO SAID FOOTBALL??Crispin Inn patrons will already know that on - BOXING DAY THERE WILL BE A FOOTBALL MATCH TO END ALL MATCHES ON THE FOOTBALL PITCH AT 10.30AM.LADIES (THE BLUE TITS) v MEN (THE COCK ROBINS) - PROCEEDS FOR CHARITY.COME ALONG FOR A FEW SURPRISES!!

Longstone Local History Group
2012 Annual Outing Sat 29th September
Each year towards the end of summer (has it started yet..?) LLHG members - and others if the bus can cope – go beyond “local” and see the world... And history does not only live in the charm of neat towns, or the chance preservation of the prehistoric. It lives in the levels of human lives, the flourishing and decline of industries, in the warmth of communities and the struggle for improvement and power... On Sat 29th September the annual journey will lead to a place where all this lies, within a city of today which you may think you know...but do you really know MANCHESTER, from Roman Mamucium to “...this blessed Cottonopolis...”, from the first canal to the first split atom.... and beyond? Leaving The Cross at 8.45 and arriving
at Manchester Town Hall for coffee at 10.00, we have a full tour of this Gothic masterpiece (“truly a Municipal Palace”). Then a walk through streets of history with Blue Badge guides, finishing at MOSI, the Museum of Science and Industry by lunchtime. (For any not wanting the guided tour, it's 15-20 mins direct.) There is abundant choice of venues around for all tastes so lunch will be left to the individual – and there is so much to see in the museums that the afternoon will also be free-range, including shopping for the addicted. Just be back at MOSI by 4.00 for cream tea and board the bus home!We hope you will join us for this different outing, priced much as last year at around £26... If you would like to come, can you please let Tony Byrne know by 15th September at Hawthorne Cottage, Main Rd., tel.640232 with a deposit of £10 (cheques payable to A J Byrne.)Bob Melling
Black Harry GateBlack Harry Gate was a well known landmark at Blakedon Hollow on Longstone Moor that was featured on old nineteenth century maps. The actual gate opening itself was too narrow for vehicles with four wheels to pass through, but got removed either in the late 1960's or 1970's prior to the construction of the tailings lagoon by the then fluorspar operator, Laporte Industries. Does any reader have or know of anyone who has recollections of it or better still, any photographs? The reason for this request is that a claim has been made for Black Harry Lane to become a Byway Open to All Traffic, (like Chertpit Lane off Moor Road), and historical evidence is currently being sought by Derbyshire County Council for their consideration. Any information, however small, will be very much appreciated by getting in touch with Hugh Wright. Email address:- [email protected]

Going on Holiday?If you are going away for any length of time please consider how your house appears to an opportunist thief. Try to make your home look occupied so it isn’t an easy target. * Ask a trusted neighbour or relative to open and close your curtains for you. * Ask a neighbour if they don't mind parking their car on your driveway and trimming your garden to make your home look occupied. * Cut the front and back lawns before you go away and trim any plants that burglars could hide behind. * Cancel milk and newspaper deliveries. * Before you go don’t advertise that you are going away on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter. * Register for the Royal Mail 'Keepsafe' service where they will keep your mail for up to two months. * Leave important documents and valuable personal items with other family members or a bank.
* Double-check that you've locked all outside windows and doors. * Set your burglar alarm. * Use timer units on plug in lights or even radios to make it seem that someone is in. * Don't put your home address on your luggage when you are travelling to your holiday destination. A house number and postcode will suffice if you want to label your luggage.

Dear Friends,Milo of Croton won the prize for wrestling in five Olympiads between 536 and 520 BC and was regarded as the all-time greatest athlete. Unlike today the games were, originally, contests for individuals. Those who took part and especially those who won achieved fame and brought honour to their hometown, but unlike Team GB and the athletes from other nations today they were not seen as representing the places they came from. There were also no gold, silver or bronze medals, just a laurel crown.The Olympics began in 776BC at Olympia in the Peleponnesus of Greece. They were in honour of the god Zeus. The games played an important part in spreading and fostering Greek culture. All over the Hellenistic world there were gymnasiums for training in every town, and although the games at Olympia were the most famous others took place at Isthmia, Pythia, Nemea and in a host of other places. They were popular. Large numbers of people attended, and they spread important Hellenistic beliefs about the good and the beautiful.The last games of the old Olympiad took place in either AD 389 or 393. Some have claimed that they were banned as pagan by the Christian emperor Theodosius I, but it is more likely that after the Visigoths invaded Greece in 395 they simply were never revived. That had to wait until 1896.Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the International Olympic Committee and the modern Olympic games had been influenced by, among others, Thomas Arnold, Headmaster of Rugby School. However it was Tom Hughes, author of Tom Brown’s School Days (1857) the story of a boy whose character was shaped during time at Rugby School which, in Victorian times, forged a link between sporting activity and Christianity. Sport, they believed, led to the development of the whole person – body mind and spirit. Hughes together with his compatriot Charles Kingsley were both sympathetic to the Chartist movement and believed that sport also had a place in the improvement of social conditions.But nearly 2000 years earlier Paul of Tarsus and other New Testament writers also drew on the games to illustrate the Christian life. Although
Notes from St. GilesThe weather came up trumps for our Fete on July 14th, with just one shower late in the proceedings. Queen Hannah and her attendants Catriona and Isabelle looked lovely, there were plenty of Fancy Dress competitors and the band entertained us in their usual exemplary style during the procession and all through the afternoon.A s u s u a l t h e C a k e s t a l l a n d Refreshments did a roaring trade and the other stalls including the Raffle and Tombola did very well. The outside competitions and bouncy castle also attracted lots of adults and children, altogether a very enjoyable afternoon for everyone, visitors and stall-holders alike, with a much needed boost to church funds.I cannot believe that another School Year has finished. Good Luck to all Year 6 who are now preparing for the

just as the original Olympics were not about how many medals Team Corinth, Sparta, Athens or Thebes collected, so the New Testament further undermines our current view of the games. For while the athletic imagery of exertion and goal-orientation as a metaphor for the Christian life as a race was used, what mattered was not coming first, winning, but simply finishing the course. All who take part will win the crown of glory.Yours sincerely,
Fr Christopher Benson.
new experiences they will have at High School. may all those who have been working on their G.C.S.E and A level exams have the results they need. It is such a nerve wracking time waiting for those results to come though. May everyone, teachers and pupils, enjoy their break and come back in September refreshed and ready to meet the challenges of the busy Autumn term. Best wishes go to Mrs. Martlew, Mrs Chalmers-Brown and Mrs. Thurston, long serving members of staff who will be greatly missed, as they have to pursue pastures new.Activities at church during August are reasonably quiet, although the main services will be held as usual. Please check the St. Giles calendar for details. We do have the Art show on the week-end of August 4th and 5th and also the Horticultural on Saturday 18th August, both special events in our village calendar.We have plenty to celebrate during Autumn particularly Harvest, but the first celebration will be for St. Giles, Our Patron, which will be on September 1st. More details next month.The prospect of drier weather has been forecast. That will be good as it is always easier for the children to keep occupied during the long holiday when they can enjoy the sun, and it will do us all good.

Church of the Good Shepherd, Wardlow.
Time has flown by since our Flower Festival but thanks from the village must go to the marvellous talented ladies who arranged the flowers for our Diamond Jubilee Flower Festival. The Church looked & smelt wonderful and was much appreciated by both villagers & visitors alike making £650, just a little up on last year. (Great but in reality it is just enough to pay our annual insurance bill due on 1st July.)Most of the money generated comes from the refreshments & thanks must go to the loyal band of cake bakers, tea makers, the washing up team & everyone else who helped in any way. They all contributed so much of their time to help keep our small village Church running for another year.Many thanks to you all.
