REPORTS

REGULARS June 2019‘Summer starts here’It’s June and the forecasters are telling us that we can expect ‘record temperatures and weeks of wall-to-wall sunshine’. Some of us will be more delighted than others at this news, as sunscreen and straw hats are called into action. However, as lawns start to look their best and roses burst into colour, it will be nice to lose that chilly wind.

With festival-goers streaming into the Cotswolds for days and nights of carefree living the timing is ‘spot on’ – although stumbling about ankle-deep in mud in previous years didn’t seem to diminish the determination to have a good time!

Each festival has its own recognisable style, with music, food and spectacle designed to occupy kids, teenagers and parents - from the Blenheim Battle Proms to Cornbury, the Big Feastival and Longborough Festival Opera. There are fly-pasts, performers, assorted stalls, tents and marquees – and hours of live music – plenty to enjoy under the sun, the moon and stars.

We have other news in this month’s edition, too – although I don’t suppose the new town and district councillors will have the same appeal!

I hope that the sunshine will bless our local fetes and flower shows, open gardens and open air concerts, and walks through some of the most stunning English scenery there is – and all on our front door steps.

We know how to take advantage of our English summers, even if they are not 100% reliable, as we celebrate the best of local village and town summer events.…..see you there maybe.

My best wishes for the start of summer 2019.

JenniJenni Turner, Editor.

FICTION There are new novels from Amitav Ghosh and Clare Mackintosh; a WWII thriller from Graham Hurley, the fourth in his Wars Within series; a new Jackson Lamb thriller from Mick Herron; and short stories from Lucy Hughes-Hallett.

BIOGRAPHY Noble Savages reclaims the story of the four Olivier sisters from the margins. Passionate Spirit is the life of Alma Mahler. The Bernard Ingham diaries reach the final two years of Margaret Thatcher’s premiership.

HISTORY There is a new history of the rise and fall of the Medici family. Barbarians at the Wall is the story of the first nomadic empire and the making of China. Glorious Goodwood is a history of England’s greatest sporting estate. The golden age of travel is evoked in Holidays and High Society. Into paperback comes the success of last year, The Quest for Queen Mary.

GARDENING Two titles stand out: A History of Gardening in 50 Objects and The Orchard Gardener.

COOKERY The popular Roasting Tin series reaches The Quick Roasting Tin: 30-Minute One-Dish Dinners. Felicity Cloake continues her search for perfect recipes by turning to French classics. Gregg “Masterchef” Wallace gives us an Italian Family Cookbook.

A MISCELLANY There are more adventures with the Yorkshire Shepherdess. Simon Barnes describes the transformative effect of the rewilding of eight acres of Norfolk marshland. There are some interesting literary titles: Around the World in 80 Novels, the Art of Mindful Reading, Women Only: Writing from the Hampstead Ladies’ Pond, and Literary Paris: A Photographic Tour. And lots of fascinating science titles too!

CHILDREN The stand-out titles are Clare Balding’s third story, The Racehorse who Learned to Dance (7+), and The World’s Worst Teachers from David Walliams (9+). Muck and Magic by Michael Morpurgo is a moving countryside tale about the power of friendship and creativity (7+).

Mental health. Period poverty. Wildlife loss. Hate Crime.Young people are taking action on society’s biggest challenges

ACTION AGAINST KNIFE CRIME At the start if this year the UK Youth Parliament* launched their campaign, ‘Action Against Knife Crime’, which calls for a significant reduction in knife crime across the UK. 1.1 million young people declared knife crime a top concern in the UK Youth Parliament’s Make Your Mark ballot. ‘Action Against Knife Crime’, prioritised at the UK Youth Parliament’s

House of Commons Sitting, demands the Government combat violence through education in schools and community groups. UK Youth Parliament are working in partnership with ‘No Knives, Better Lives’, a national programme in Scotland that aims to deter young people from carrying knives.For the campaign to be as effective as possible, the UK Youth Parliament believes that it is important to get everyone involved. From Parliament to the playground, it is essential that everyone engages in the conversation and takes action on the campaign.

You can follow the discussion through the hashtag #ActionAgainstKnifeCrime or by visiting our Facebook and Twitter.

Look online for details of our campaign material…

CAMPAIGN BRIEFING AND TOOLKIT & CAMPAIGN POWERPOINT*The Youth Parliament is made up of young people aged 11-18. The organisation will also reignite its long-standing campaign

for a lower voting age of 16.

Enough has been written about Cromwell to fill many books and he remains a divisive figure in history. Having spent the first 40 years of his life in relative obscurity, he seemed a most unlikely person to become what many claim to be one of our most successful military and political leaders. He married Elizabeth Bourchier in 1620 but then suffered a number of physical and emotional crises. In 1628 he was elected as MP for Huntingdon and a year later he was caught up in a dispute over a new Charter for the Town. This probably led to him selling up his properties in Huntingdon and buying a small farmstead in St Ives. Later he inherited a number of properties, returning to the ranks of the gentry and was by this time a committed Puritan.He served in the various Parliaments that were formed and abolished by Charles I leading to the Long Parliament of 1640 and the outbreak of Civil War in 1642. Up to this time Cromwell had had little military experience, but he raised a troop in Cambridgeshire and marched to Edgehill, arriving too late to participate in this indecisive battle. He gained experience in successful actions in East Anglia and by 1644 had risen rapidly to the rank of Lieutenant General of Horse under General Thomas Fairfax. He played a significant role in the Parliamentary victory at Marston Moor. When this failed to end Royalist resistance, Parliament decreed that their army should be remodelled, a change to which Cromwell made a significant contribution. The so-called “New Model Army” under Fairfax and Cromwell subsequently swept all before them, mopping up resistance in the West Country. The decisive victory at Naseby led to the Battle of Stow and

the end of the Royalist occupation of Oxford in June 1646.The king’s refusal to come to an agreement led to further violence which was again supressed by the New Model Army. He was one of the signatories of Charles’ death warrant and the sentence was carried out in Jan 1649. After the King’s death, the “Commonwealth of England” was declared. Cromwell then began his campaign to crush Catholic resistance in Ireland. A number of brutal actions were carried out, leading to bitter resentment among the Irish.After he returned from Ireland, Cromwell turned his attention to Scotland, which had declared Charles II as King. A number of actions against the Scots, though rather less brutal than in Ireland, finally ended Royalist resistance at the Battle of Worcester against a Scottish army in 1651 from which Charles II escaped into exile in France. Two years later Cromwell was declared “Lord High Protector” of the Commonwealth, during which time he gradually adopted the trappings of Royalty. In 1657 he was offered the Crown of England, an offer he considered for 5 weeks before declining. He died a year later from malaria, and the title was passed to his son, Richard, who resigned in 1659, earning the nickname “Tumbledown Dick”. The monarchy was restored in 1660 but that was not the last heard of Cromwell. After the Restoration his corpse was exhumed and tried, along with other regicides, and hanged at Tyburn. His skull was displayed on a pole until dislodged during a storm, then went missing for over 100 years until finally retrieved and buried at his alma mater, Sidney Sussex College at Cambridge, in a secret location.(Much has been omitted from this very brief resumé of Cromwell’s life.)

Now that summer is in full swing and Mr Blue Sky is inviting us out into the great outdoors for more festival-related fun and frolics in the green and verdant pastures of the Cotswolds, let’s run down Part 2 of the essential Cotswold Times guide to the best of the bunch…

Billed as ‘the friendliest festival’, Nibley (nibleyfestival.co.uk) kick starts July on the 5th and 6th of the month. Legendary hip hoppers the Sugarhill Gang with Grandmaster Melle Mel and Scorpio headline, with other highlights include the welcome return of 90’s Britpop stars Sleeper, front by the ageless Louise Wener, and Cast. Other notables on the bill include punk ska popster Ratboy and the Dutty Moonshine Band, who fuse heavyweight bass with jazz!

Further north, the same weekend is shared by perhaps the most stimulating of festivals. Also Festival (also-festival.com) runs July 5th-7th at Compton Verney and pulls together the worlds of ideas, culture, debate, art, food, wine, comedy, nature and experience to break out of the mould of other traditional ‘mud and burgers’ fi eld-borne entertainment.

The following weekend sees the return to its Cheltenham berth of the mighty 2000 Trees Festival (twothousandtrees.co.uk)from July 11th-13th. The multi-award winning beano has regularly been voted the UK’s ‘coolest’ festival and is the go-to event for fans looking beyond the mainstream. The bill includes Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, You Me At Six, Deaf Havana, perennial live favourites Therapy?, with Pulled Apart By Horses and Flogging Molly among the highlights on the undercard.

Fans of an ear-bashing can move smoothly on justa few miles

up the road the next weekend to take

in Amplifi ed (amplifi edrocks.com). Based at Quarrydowns, between Northleach and Aldsworth in rural Gloucestershire

and taking place from 19th-21st

July, this relative newcomer has

already garnered a faithful following. Catering for those

that prefer their music loud and proud,

newer faces such as Jinjer, Mushroom Head and The Amorettes rub

shoulders with established rockers Lawnmower

Deth and Ugly Kid Joe. Interestingly, the festival team offer a ‘mentoring ’ scheme which offers youngsters keen to learn the festival ropes

the chance to shadow the experts

and gain a valuable insight into various

aspects of the business.

Cornbury Park plays host to this year’s Wilderness Festival (wildernessfestival.com) from August 1st-4th. Achingly hip acts such as Bombay Bicycle Club, Groove Armada and Robyn top the bill, with other musical high points including Tom Odell, electro swing superstars Caravan Palace and the lady being hailed as ‘the new Adele’

Time to party in the parks…

(whether we need one or not!) Freya Ridings. As ever, there’s a wonderfully eclectic mix of entertainment to tickle everyone’s fancy, with plenty of debate and nosh along with wild swimming, foraging and nature-related pastimes.

By now we are deep into festival season and the following weekend of August 8-11thsees open air afi cionados spoilt for choice. Those of slightly more, er, advanced years may well be making their way to Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Festival (fairportconvention.com), where they will be regaled by seasoned performers such as Fairport themselves, The Waterboys, Richard Thompson and Caravan. The younger generation can console themselves with the likes of Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls or Whispering Bob Harris’s current faves Wildwood Kin. All that and the best pint of fi eld-poured real ale in the district!

The very same weekend festivalgoers will be storming the castle at Eastnor with it playing host to Lakefest (lakesfest.co.uk). There’s a slightly more contemporary retro feel to the

festival this year, with 90’s legends Happy Mondays and James headlining the Saturday and Sunday evenings respectively, while singalong specialists the Kaiser Chiefs start the fun on Friday. Other highlights include the infectious Tex Mex rhythms of Paul

Young (yes, that one) and Los Pacaminos, plus The Bluetones

and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Camper Calling (campercalling.com) at Ragley Hall from August 23-25th includes the welcome return of Skunk

Anansie after a gigging hiatus. They’ll be joined by,

among others, The Fratellis, Ash, The Feeling, legendary

crooner Tony Christie and Sleeper.

Drawing a veil over the Cotswold festival season will be The Big Feastival (bigfeastival.com), also on the weekend of August 23-25th. Having come a long way since it was launched as Harvest a decade ago, the event has grown in stature yearly. This year Alex James’s Kingham farm

plays host to live veterans Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Scottish breakthrough Lewis Capaldi (Friday), million-selling songstress Jess Glynne (Saturday) and the big sounds of the eternally popular Elbow who close the festival on the Sunday night. There’s plenty of fun for all the family, too, with Mr Tumble (Justin Fletcher) making a welcome return, along with Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol and Catboy from PJ Masks offering up plenty to keep the little ones captivated. Add in a pinch of stellar celebrity chefs including Raymond Blanc, Prue Leith, Tom Brown,

Gennaro Contaldo and Andi Oliver and all the ingredients are in

place for another cracking end to the Cotswolds’

festival calendar. Fill yer (welly) boots!

The festival aims to involve as many local musicians of all ages as possible across the two weeks but also hosts national and international acts in various venues in town and among the surrounding villages. A highlight of this year’s festival will be a performance by award-winning duo, Veronica Sbergia and Max De Bernardi, from Milan in Italy, who play a mix of blues, ragtime, hokum and Jug band music. The duo will be at The Cherington Arms, Cherington, on Monday 24th June.

Among other events, there will be an Open Mic competition, a Fame Contest (with the prize a chance to play on the last night), a Folk Music night. a classical concert with Craig Ogden and Claire Bradshaw, a Young Musicians’ concert at Barcheston Church featuring the cream of talented local young musicians and many more events during the fortnight. A number of pubs will be hosting Sunday Afternoon Jazz.The final night in Shipston town square on Saturday 29th June features The Britpop Boys as the headline act, supported by local guitarist Oliver Darling and The Living Legends. Oliver, originally from Brailes,

tours regularly, playing with Imelda May’s band.

Shipston Proms 2019Friday 14th to Saturday 29th June

For nearly half a century, the Guiting Music Festival has been delighting audiences with superb performances from international artists in the classical, blues and jazz fields and this year, the winners of the 2019 European Blues Challenge Awards, The Kyla Brox Band, will be headlining the Open Air Blues concert on Sunday, 28th July, supported by The Eddie Martin Band and Earl. Born in Lancashire in 1980, Kyla Brox comes from a family of estimable musicians. Her father, Victor Brox, is a giant of the blues world, forming the Victor Brox Blues Train in the early 1960s with singer, Annette Reis, who became Kyla’s mother. Now several albums into a career that has grown year on year, her new album, Pain & Glory was released in March and she talked to the Cotswold Times

about how she started singing.“When I was 12, my auntie took me to see a gig by my father in Manchester and I thought, “I can do that” so I jumped up on stage with him! I’d been singing bits and pieces with choirs and things so I wasn’t completely over-awed by it all! From then on, whenever he was in the UK, I’d do gigs with him, first as a backing singer and then

more and more duets and lead vocal stuff. We also did a couple of tours of Australia, right out into the outback at mining camps where I was pretty much the only woman in town! Tough audiences and I was still a young girl, but that’s the stuff that blues is made of isn’t it? I reckoned if I could survive a gig in an Australian mining town, I could pretty much survive anything!”The 49th Guiting Music Festival runs from 19th July to 28th July and highlights include Welsh harpist, Catrin Finch and Senegalese kora player, Seckou Keita, The Elias String Quartet, The Antonio Forcione Quartet and The Jason Rebello Trio, pianist Saskia Giorgini, Aquarelle Guitar Quartet, jazz singer Sarah Morris and many more.

CHANGES AHEAD FOR YOUR RECYCLING CENTRES

To refl ect the 25 % reduction in demand throughout the winter months, the fi ve household recycling centres (HRC’s) in Gloucestershire will be reducing their opening hours as of October 28th.

From Sunday 28th October to Sunday 31st March 2019 HRC’s will be open from 10am until 4pm. From 1st April 2019 HRC’s will open an hour earlier at 9am and close an hour later at 5pm. Each site will also close one day a week. Cllr Nigel Moor, cabinet member responsible for household recycling centres at Gloucestershire County Council, said: “A lot of research, monitoring and consideration went into this decision; this solution will not only allow the council to make savings, but it also means our HRC’s are open when the public need them to be. “Recycling is very much a council priority and we are committed to reaching our target of 60% recycling by 2020. These changes aren’t coming into affect until the end of October; more information can be found on our recycle for Gloucestershire website.”

LOCAL AUTHORITIES FEBRUARY 2019

Release date: 8 January 2019

Action Fraud has issued national warnings about fraudsters who are pretending to be from local councils or the HMRC.

People are receiving cold calls and emails about a council tax overpayment from individuals who appear to work for a local council. The emails often contain phishing links, which direct the recipient to a website where they will be asked to provide personal data.

Action Fraud has also experienced an increase in the reporting of malicious calls, voicemails, text messages or emails to members of the public which appear to originate from HMRC.

The fraudsters state that as a result of their non-payment of tax or other duty, the victim is liable to prosecution or other legal proceedings such as repossession of belongings to settle the balance but can avoid this by arranging for payment to be made immediately by method such as bank transfer or by iTunes gift cards.

If the victim is hesitant or refuses to comply, the suspect makes a threat such as immediate arrest, bailiffs or - in cases where the victim appears to be of overseas origin - deportation.

Often, the period for which the tax is allegedly due is distant enough to guarantee the victim will have little, if any, paperwork or ability to verify the claims. Once the money is paid the suspects sever all contact.What you need to do

Always question unsolicited requests for your personal or financial information. Just because someone knows your basic details (such as your name and contact details), it doesn’t mean they are genuine. Instead, contact the company directly using trusted methods such as a known email address or phone number.

Listen to your instincts. If something feels wrong then it is usually right to question it. No genuine organisation will ask you to pay taxes, bills or fees using iTunes Gift Cards, or any other type of voucher.

Don’t be rushed or pressured into making a decision. Under no circumstances would a genuine bank or some other trusted organisation force you to make a financial transaction on the spot.

Report Phishing attempts. If you receive a call, text or email of this nature and have not lost money, report this as a phishing attempt to Action Fraud.

I find myself writing to you after spending much of the weekend picking up pieces of some morons’ car off my drive on London Road in Moreton in Marsh.

It was with a morbid sense of glee that I found myself harvesting pieces of sheer metal that were smashed off the BMW that crashed in to the pedestrian crossing lamppost directly outside my living room, then crossed the road, mounted another pavement, smashed in to the metalrailway railings, somehow dodging the pedestrians heading home that evening, then continued to try to drive away from the scene (leaving pieces of his wrecked car all down London Road) before the car finally burst in to flames, just on the tip of the bridge where all Moreton children walk to school each day. I do hope that the shattered and charred BMW was the absolute pride and joy of the driver, just as MYCHILDREN are mine. Albeit mine are far, far more valuable and unlikesome P.O.S. car, they are irreplaceable.

So what happened to the driver?.....Did a

RUNNER of course! On his toes, off-ski! There’s no police around here you see and absolutely no interest in traffic / speed calming on the London Road so it’s pretty much the wild wild west. You can have an absolute skin-full, get in your car (or someone else’s maybe?), drive at probably near 90mph in a built up residential 30mph zone (opposite a school), literally ‘crash and burn’, and simply limp away from a very serious accident with absolutely nothing but insurance form filling as a consequence. In fact you don’t even need to be a booze fuelled ‘out of towner’ in a sports car with sh#t for brains to do this, you can live locally and drive way in excess of 30mph at any time of day. You see, nothing happens, no consequences, maybe some guy who lives on London Road giving you the evil eye or flapping his arms like a lunatic at you to slow down now and then but THAT’S IT! So, why not? NOTHING HAPPENS.

PLEASE can someone tell me what it will take to install appropriate measures to slow the traffic down on London Road to the 30mph speed limit or better still below it?

Is it simply a case of lack of funding, is a case of statistics being required? I.e. How many school children need to be ploughed down before SOMEONE, ANYONE reacts other than locals picking up debris and local fire-fighters putting out the BMW BBQ?? What are our options, PLEASE tell me how we can getsomething done about the situation?

Simply, I don’t want to be picking up pieces of school children off my drive / windows.

Looking forward to your honest reply.

PARKING PROBLEMS IN MORETON

Problems with parking continue to blight Moreton in Marsh, it’s residents, businesses and visitors.Readers will know that Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown is now involved, and it is hoped that he can encourage the parties involved to work together to find solutions – and action them, before the problems become insurmountable and damage both the prosperity and the neighbourhood’s reputation. (“Don’t go to Moreton, you can never park!”) In the short term, and looking at the solutions that other Cotswold towns are taking. have MTC considered policing the parking in the town themselves? Not literally, but talking to the District Council about directly employing a warden, specifically to action the existing parking restrictions within the town on a daily, or at least a frequent and regular schedule? The rules and regulations can be highlighted to residents and businesses in advance, with signs advising people of when they will take effect.Other towns are finding that the monies raised from tickets and fines pays the warden’s wages, and in some cases the local council make a profit which can go into a local charity, etc… Meanwhile, there are parking spaces available in town and tempers remain a whole lot calmer than at present. It is a short-term solution that can be effective for as many weeks, months or years, as necessary. It must be worth a try if other councils can make it work! Just a thought – from the Editor, Cotswold Times.

ROAD SAFETY IN MORETON

Subject: FW: Constituent's concerns about speeding traffic on London Road via The Cotswolds MP's office FW: Letter from your constituent Mike Blissett) Thank you for your email of 17 July 2018 highlighting Mr Blisset’s concerns. I am sorry to hear about his experiences on London Road. I have been in touch with the local team to gain some insights into what has already been done and what is being considered for the future. The County Council has made a number of minor improvements to safety along this section of the A44. In 2014/15 we installed additional ‘SLOW’ road markings and carriageway edge lines to help change the visual characteristics of the road. In 2016, with the input of Cllr Nigel Moor and the Town Council, we installed two vehicle activated 30mph Slow Down signs which are located adjacent to Oxford Cottages and the town side of the rail bridge. Going forward we are going to be working with Cllr Moor and Moreton in Marsh Town Council in assessing the feasibility for a 20mph speed limit. This will involve consultation with a group of internal and external stakeholders and partner agencies, including the road safety team, police and legal services. The first action going forward is to commission the relevant transport

monitoring surveys in the locality and the Local Highway Manager is currently arranging these surveys. Looking at this specific incident and having seen the collateral damage, I’m not sure any improvement measure or speed limit could have accounted for/mitigated the poor driving. However, I trust you will see that we are committed to addressing safety issues in this area both with the measures already taken and the proposals moving forward. Yours sincerelyNigel Commissioning Director: Communities & InfrastructureGloucestershire County CouncilShire Hall, Westgate Street, Gloucester GL1 2THTel: 01452 328470Email: [email protected] to www.gloucestershire.gov.uk to find information on any County Council service. It couldn't be easier to find information instantly and in some cases apply for services online

Can courtesy make a difference? Local resident David Newman thinks it can reduce traffic queues through Moreton.As a Cotswold resident running a local business I have to be on High Streets several times a day, and observing what goes on around me.With recent developments, and in particular Moreton, (such as the hospital, Aldi, Greggs etc.) the traffic has become very hectic adjacent to the junction of Fosseway Avenue and the service station. Many of the expressionless/blank faces peering over steering wheels without concern for the town are commuters ‘passing through’, and I feel that we as a community could show more regard for local people trying to move around the area. Recently I experienced 22 thoughtless drivers pass me whilst I was attempting to turn right into Fosseway Avenue, forming a needless queue behind me. Had one of those drivers had the

foresight to indicate to me to cross their path, the speed they were travelling would not have caused a need to even apply their brakes or to slow down. When someone who can go ahead pre-empts traffic situations and demonstrates a courteous approach, I for one reward their action with a huge smile and an enthusiastic wave. On most occasions, which is numerous times every day, when I offer this courtesy to other motorists I indeed receive this acknowledgement, which for me is a ‘feel good’ experience and I replicate as often as possible. And guess what…? I don’t believe it slows my journey a single bit….try it!

David Newman

LATE ADDITION – I recently assisted at a road traffic collision on the High Street where a driver ploughed into a parked vehicle. Fortunately no one was injured, however this once again highlights the fact that the A429 through the town is a main, arterial road where no parking should be allowed at all.

From Sergeant Garrett Gloyn, one of two supervisors of the Neighbourhood Policing Team

in the Cotswold District

INTENSIVE ENGAGEMENT A new community-lead initiative, supported by the Police, Local Authority and other agencies, to facilitate community action and support in the town.

Why? POLICE CRIME STATISTICS Having remained static for four years, recorded crime in Moreton rose by 20% last year. Low level assaults, criminal damage and drug offences all recorded rises in the town. Young people, aged less than 24 years, make up a significant proportion of both offenders and victims for these offences.

COUNTY COUNCIL DATA for the Cotswolds The number of children being permanently excluded from schools in the district has remained fairly constant over the last four years (13 – 16). Over the same period there has been a 50% increase in the number of children electively withdrawn from mainstream education for home schooling. Year to date 2018/19 the number of children is 140. Data for Moreton (children with a GL56 postcode) is similar. The number of children permanently excluded from is relatively low. The number of children Electively Home Educated is at its highest number, 14 for the last academic year. Many of these local children may be being effectively educated outside the mainstream education system but we believe a significant proportion may not and this will lead to an increased likelihood of them becoming involved in criminality or anti-social behaviour, either as victims or perpetrators.

How?The Neighbourhood Policing Team will –� build relationships and links with key and enthusiastic local people and community groups. � To enable them to work together to provide support for the young people in this area. � To develop practices with the Moreton people that will work and be successful in Moreton.

New temporary accommodation will provide homeless with a safe living spaceNew emergency accommodation in Cirencester for local homeless people who require a safe and temporary living space is now ready for use. Cotswold District Council has refurbished The Croft, a seven-bedroom property in the town, and recently hosted a small ‘housewarming’ to mark the completion of the work. Invited guests, including those working for the local Signpost charity, were able to tour the building, which includes two large bathrooms, a communal lounge and kitchen, and washing facilities in each bedroom. There is also an office where advisors can help meet the support needs of the temporary residents and assist them in moving into settled accommodation.Cllr Lisa Spivey is the CDC Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness. “Sadly, homelessness is a growing problem, both locally and nationally, and the refurbishment of The Croft to accommodate people in need is a very welcome development. The Croft significantly increases in the availability of suitable emergency accommodation in the Cotswold, and will reduce the number of (expensive) motel rooms rented outside the District to meet this need. “Having a base at The Croft will enable its temporary residents to maintain local connections and benefit from excellent access to a range of local support networks. It’s also great that there are cooking facilities and a communal living room – having places to prepare meals and socialise can encourage residents to retain their independence, and give them confidence to interact with other people.”

The Bluebell Run took to the roads of the north Cotswolds last month, when tractors of makes, models and vintages took to the roads in bright sunshine. The crowds loved it, with boys (and girls) of all ages enjoying the parade. Sixty four tractors completed a 28-mile route that drove through Charlton Abbots, Syreford and Guiting Power, and on to Cotswold Farm Park, Guiting Woods, Hailes Abbey and Winchcombe, raising £1,450 for Cancer Research UK. The convoy kept mainly to country lanes, estate roads and farm tracks and included three fords to cross in Kineton.The North Cotswold Tractor Club award for the best trac-tor on parade went to Steve Hannis, from Cranham near Birdlip, driving his 1966 John Deere 420. The Bluebell Tractor Run is organised by Moreton Show in conjunction with the North Cotswold Tractor Club. There will be more vintage tractors on parade at Moreton Show on Saturday 7th September. Tickets are now on sale on the website and all the details of this year’s show are at:

Anyone who heard me fi rst time round will know that I only just won, at the very last minute! I hadn’t even known until Russell Davies read the scores in reverse order. Huge hugs from the family and opponents, generous in defeat, we carried on celebrating afterwards in the Green Room. Everyone signed my Brain of Britain quiz book. Fame at last!

So . . . that got me through to the semi fi nals. As before two contests were recorded, and I was delighted to have my family there to support me. I wore my ‘lucky’ jacket and my lucky silver brooch (I’m not usually superstitious). Am I really the only person to dress up for radio?

My fellow contestants were the rather splendidly named Frankie Fanco – makes me think of Sergeant Pepper – Tim Hall

and Steven Hatcher. Frankie’s a freelance translator, Tim’s a ‘researcher’ (he didn’t say what), and Steven taught modern languages before he retired

After a rehearsal round during which I failed to score, my ‘team’ were put on fi rst, and the second contest was just as exciting. After all the usual Green Room shenanigans it was getting past my bedtime but Charles and I had a very convivial drink with Bob (not to be confused with BoB) from the other group of four. Bob hails from Yorkshire and appropriately we had a very pleasant drink or three in the Yorkshire Grey pub opposite our hotel.

In both contests the fi nal scores were very close - want to know what happened?

• All adverts will appear in all 4 magazines at the one price.

JUST four + one ART EXHIBITION Bourton House, Bourton-on-the-Hill GL56 9AE

11th-15th June 2019This exciting exhibition of Contemporary Art in the Tythe Barn at Bourton House is by kind invitation of Mr and Mrs Quintus and shows work by ‘Just Four’ – Jenny Hill-Norton, Anthea Stilwell, Sophie Bartlett and Jo Ellis. They are joined by ‘+ One’ – Craig Narramore, who works with ancient timbers and uses unusual technologies learnt from working as a film prop master to create furniture and sculpture with a contemporary twist. The painters meet regularly in a variety of locations drawing inspiration from figures, landscapes and still life. “There is a unique buzz when we paint together, it takes courage to ‘let go’ and to trust yourself. As a group we learn enormously from each other, which makes you brave, take risks, and the results are most exciting and rewarding,” says Jenny. “We each bring different skills but are linked by our passion to paint for the joy of it – I think this is evident in the exhibition which is a celebration of us growing as artists.” The creative process starts with drawing followed by expressive exploration in oils, acrylics, watercolours, charcoal, collage and mixed media. Work on display is for sale, and a donation will be made to WellChild. Please note cheques and cash only.

Just Four will be working as ‘Artists in Residence’ in the beautiful Bourton House gardens during the exhibition, both

are open daily 10am to 5pm from 11th – 15th June.

The ancient craft of marbling is believed to have begun life in 10th or 12th century Japan and known as Suminagashi (literally translated as floating ink). Over the years marbled designs were applied to a variety of surfaces; originally paper and fabric, using black inks and tree resin (as a floater) to create beautiful results, it was later that coloured dyes and stains were introduced.There is evidence marbling was present in China, Turkey, Persia, and India during the 15th century and it’s possible it arrived in other parts of the world through the Silk Route.‘Ebru’, meaning ‘clouds, is the method developed in Turkey around the 1600s and is comparable to the method we use today.Perhaps the easiest way to start is to make a unique, handmade

card for the special person in your life, which can be framed as a keepsake or kept in a memory box.A simple collection of marbled shells, a few pieces of driftwood and a selection of large and small pebbles can

make a colourful focus in the garden. Perhaps a set of coasters, or maybe a stylish and unique tile panel for your home. A small pendant added to a chain or leather thong can make an inexpensive gift. All of these are possible with a little practice, the right materials and a bit of patience.Depending on which material is to be marbled, it may need to be prepared using something called ‘alum’ which is typically an inorganic oxide enabling a stain to fix to the material.Mixing a ‘floater’ in de-ionised water and adding specially created paints (which are permanent) gives the base for creating a unique pattern. This can be done using something as simple as a cocktail stick or paper clip that is moved through the paint as soon as it settles and then dipping the item to be marbled into it. The result is immediate and enduring and can be very beautiful. With more modern and safer materials, it is now possible to marble many different surfaces. Paper, fabric, limestone, shell, wood, and ceramics are probably the most popular but by no means the ultimate choice.Allowing the item to dry thoroughly, it can then be glazed and left to set at least overnight to ensure it hardens fully. Marbling can be relaxing and very fulfilling as a hobby or for the more serious crafter, something that can be developed for a small business.

Making a Difference Supporting Communities Having Fun Doing It!

The Cotswold School, Bourton-on-the-Water, Sunday 4th August

The RAF Association provides friendship, help and support to the entire RAF familyBeing part of the RAF family is something unique. If you’ve been in the Services yourself, you’ll understand why - the friendship, comradeship and true sense of ‘belonging’ to a team, that few outside the Armed Services will ever experience

Stay in touch with RAF friends while helping members of the RAF family in needAfter retiring from the RAF new commitments in civvy street can mean losing contact with old acquaintances. That great feeling of ‘belonging’ can seem a little distant. In the RAF Association you can meet and share stories with all sorts of like-minded people in your local Branch, and catch up with old friends. Your annual membership fee will help support those in the RAF wide family in times of need. Come along, bring a friend, you do not have to be an ex-serviceman to join, just an interest in aviation, aircraft or the history of flying. You will find the friendly atmosphere you are looking for.

Forthcoming meetings and events:Sunday 2 June Annual Memorial Service at Broadway Tower, to remember five Airmen from RAF Honeybourne killed in a crash in thick fog on 2 June 1943. Service at 2pm with the Standards of the local Branches of the RAFA and RBL. Open to everyone. Wednesday 3 July our regular meeting in the Lygon Arms, Chipping Campden 6pm. There will be very interesting talk by local Re–enactors, who give very accurate demonstrations of a Fighter Command Operations Room during the Battle of Britain, and a Bomber Command briefing prior to making a raid on Germany. We welcome visitors who are interested. Raffle and refreshments.

For more information please contact;John Sermon, Branch Chairman or Chris Owens, Branch Secretary 01386 49967 or 01386 584 573/ 07858 893 526

On Saturday 30 March, the Redesdale Hall Trustees organised their first fundraiser, a Quiz & Chips evening, and collected £1064.34; the money will go towards a new ramp and chair lift so that the Hall is once again fully accessible to the local community.Money was raised through quiz entry fees, sponsorship of each quiz round, a half-time game of Heads & Tails, a raffle and a cash bar. The local businesses that kindly rallied round to sponsor rounds were Old Farm Dorn, R&D Walker Butchers, The Toy Shop, Mac Simple, Tyack Architects, Fosseway Garden Centre, NFU Mutual, Dan Colwell & Co and Bruce Sutherland & Co, while Sophie Oliver Jewellery provided a raffle prize, along with trustees Rosemary Mason and Sue Heady, and the Redesdale Hall Clerk Rachel Davis. Warner’s Budgens kindly donated the ketchup, vinegar and salt to accompany the fish & chips from the Mermaid Fish Bar.With over 90 locals attending the Quiz & Chips, there was a real buzz to the evening, with the Redesdale’s architecturally beautiful Upper Hall serving its primary purpose as “a village hall” for the people of Moreton, bringing together the community for a light-hearted evening of entertainment.The event is the first of many that the Trustees are planning in order to raise money to cover Hall repairs. Said the Chair of the Trustees, Nick Loat, “The current trustees, who took over their duties in late August 2018, inherited a Hall where the clock, boiler and heating were not working. We have already fixed these issues, but there is still much that needs to be done, including – as a matter of urgency – the purchase of a ramp and the repair of the chair lift, so that the Hall is once again fully accessible to the whole community. Raising over £1000 is a great step in the right direction”.

The Redesdale Hall Trustees collect over £1000 at first fundraiser

An insignificant sign off the A40, heading towards Cheltenham, points to Lodge Park, one of the National Trust’s lesser known, but very unusual properties. At first glance, there is nothing remarkable about this rather grand but four-square stone edifice, sitting in the middle of open ground. But perhaps the word ‘grand’ gives the game away, for this is perhaps the only building in the country designed

as a grandstand for watching deer coursing.Dating back to 1634, Lodge Park was erected to satisfy John ‘Crump’ Dutton’s love of gambling and entertainment. Although it was subsequently made suitable for domestic purposes, its stern façade remains unchanged; it is a lookout post, a position from which to follow the chase.Nowadays, it is open in the season over long weekends (Friday-Monday inclusive) to a steady trickle of visitors keen to enjoy a unique building and its grounds. It is part and parcel of the Sherborne Park estate, much of which lies on the opposite side of the A40. That area includes extensive woodland walks, snowdrop woods and a sculpture trail as well as a glorious stretch of water meadows fringing the Windrush; these grounds are open throughout the year. The estate rose to prominence when it became the home of the Springwatch TV series.

CRICKETBlockley Cricket 1st XI’s season got off to a fl ying start this month. Having been promoted to Third Division of the Cotswold Hills League, the lads are aiming to build on last year’s unbeaten run. Hosting Ebrington CC J.Vick and D.Knight’s batting easily exceeded the 97 all out set by the visitors, with S.Plant taking 3 wickets. Away to Long Itchington CC 2nd XI, Blockley elected to bat second and some great bowling from A.Dyer (1), S. Dyer (2), S.Vick (2) and S.Plant (4) saw the hosts all out for 45. Blockley openers again easily surpassed this with D.Knight scoring 27 not out. Blockley take second spot in the league table only 1 point behind Mickleton CC.

If you are interested in playing cricket, please get in touch via the website below.

HOCKEYJunior hockey takes a break for the summer (back in September), but summer means mixed and social evening women’s hockey! Blockley will also be hosting our annual Mixed hockey festival on Sunday 11th August at Chipping Campden School. Bicester will be hoping to make it a win for two years in a row. Get in touch with us if you fancy some social mixed and/or ladies’ hockey.

NEW FOR SUMMER 2019 – WALKING HOCKEY!!To celebrate the club’s long hockey history a ‘Golden Game’ will take place at Blockley Sports Club on Sunday 30th June between the Golden Girls of Blockley and Bourton & Sherborne, on the grass, old rules, old kit and lots of fun. Spectators welcome. After the game Blockley will host it’s fi rst Walking Hockey session on its own MUGA, followed by tea and cakes.

Open to all who fancy giving this great sport a try walking hockey is perfect for players who are looking for a less physically demanding version of the game but still enjoy showing their skills and being involved in the team and social aspect. Walking hockey is exactly as the name suggests - you play hockey, walking. It’s designed to help people keep an active lifestyle regardless of age, health and ability, as well as getting those back into hockey who had to stop due to injuries or other reasons and Blockley would love to meet any players out there who would like to give it a go.

FOOTBALLBlockley v Tysoe. An end to end game with both sides getting into positions to create chances but neither could make the fi nal pass stick on a bobbly pitch. Tysoe fi nally had a chance where J Curzons pulled off his only saves of the game making a quick double save after the ball slipped past the defence and G Curzons was being solid at the back clearing nearly everything that came his way.

With second half kick off the ball was played to Vittori who crossed to the back edge of the box for Keen to fi re it home. Blockley scored a second but was ruled offside only for a few minutes later when T.Stevens scored his fi rst goal after the defender sliced it into the goal. The game played out with minimal chances for both. With 2 minutes to go the ball broke on the right and played across the box for Stevens to slice only for Wigley to hit it in at the back stick after a good save from the fi rst shot he had. A good start for our preseason training which will be on Tuesday’s at 6:30 at the club-Come along and meet us

BLOCKLEY SPORTS CLUB COMMUNITY EVENTSThe club has been active in supporting a number of events in the last month, notably the famous prize bingos taking place on Bank Holiday’s throughout the year at St George’s Hall,

Blockley. Along with providing the teas and cakes for Blockley Horticultural Society events, the club hosted the annual Blockley May Day event at the club grounds. A super day out for all it is a prime opportunity for the village to raise monies for good causes, including Blockley’s Community Shop, and show off the club’s wonderful grounds.

Junior TeamsWith the Football season drawing to a close Moreton Rangers Junior teams are looking forward to holding their end of season awards.

They played 7 games in the group stages wining 5, losing 2 scoring 21 goals and fi nishing 2nd. This meant they qualifi ed for the cup Last eight. A Quarter fi nal against Banbury Utd was won 6–2 which meant a Semi-fi nal against Bicester town which was a very tough game. It was 1-1 until the last minute where they managed to score to pinch it 2-1. They met Coombe in the fi nal and were comfortable 6-0 winners. Coach Dave Toon said “I am Very pleased that the hard work by all the players has paid off as we won the cup fi nal. We would like to all those who supported us during the season”

The Under 15 team had a respectable 4th place fi nish in their league winning 9 of their 16 games. The Under 14 team struggled in a higher league having been promoted last year but showed Great Spirit throughout the season. The Under 12 Team were played well in the fi rst part of the season so qualifi ed for a strong league where they did well

to fi nish 5th in the table. The Under 10 Team had a great season qualifying for the end of season Champions Cup where they just missed out on the fi nals fi nishing 5th, The Under 8 Team continued to develop with a notable success in a tournament at Carterton where they won all 5 of their games without conceding a goal.

A huge thank you to our volunteer coaches. They devote so much time and effort to make all this happen.

to take the next step. Contact Martin Jones if you want to support us on [email protected] or 07879015881
