Dear Friends,

Good Friday

Last year I had the great joy of celebrating Easter in Burham and Would-

ham for the first time.

But I remember being really surprised at how few people were in church

on Good Friday.

When I worked in a parish in the Notting Hill area of London we had

almost as many people coming to church on Good Friday as we did at

Christmas and Easter. And that was for a three hour service! Almost

everyone, men and women and children were dressed in black from head

to toe, in the way people used to dress for funerals, as indeed some still do.

I think it was because many of the people there had experienced suffering

of various kinds. And on Good Friday they came to hear the Gospel

reading about Jesus being crucified. They were able to empathise with

Jesus sharing our suffering. They were able to be thankful that God

brought something good out of such evil. And they were able to express

their feelings and emotions in the music.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that lots of people come to church on Easter

Day and that there is an atmosphere of festival and celebration. In fact as

Christians we have 50 days from Easter Day until Whitsunday or

Pentecost which is a party season, in contrast to the forty days of Lent

which went before.

But for me I can enjoy the Easter celebration more fully when I have also

walked with Christ in the Way of the Cross on Good Friday. That helps

me to appreciate how much there is to celebrate. The complete love and

commitment of God for us and for our world.

Locally we have two opportunities to do this. On Good Friday morning

there is Messy Church at the Church in Burham (moving just for this day

from our usual meeting place in the Community Centre to be with our

sisters and brothers in the Methodist Church). On Good Friday afternoon

there is a service in Wouldham church with some of our well-loved Good

Friday hymns. It won’t last for three hours, just an hour. And there is no

dress code!

I hope that this year we will walk with Christ through the time of his

Passion to prepare for the great Easter celebration of new life.

In peace, Mike

WOULDHAM PARISH COUNCIL NEWS5

Recreation Ground – The Parish Council has been made aware that

there is a problem with dog poo on the recreation again. The Council

would respectfully ask all dog owners to clean up after their pet. If you do

witness anyone not clearing up after their dog, then please report the

incident to the Dog Warden at TMBC on 01732 844522. Please help to

keep Wouldham village clean.

Defibrillator Update – By the time you read this, the defibrillator should

be in its new cabinet to the right hand side of the village shop through the

gate. This now allows 24 hour access to this equipment. On behalf of

residents, the Parish Council would like to thank D.S.T.L near Sevenoaks

for donating the defibrillator to the village, Alan Boakes for his kind

donation for the cabinet in memory of his wife Hazel and to Jay Patel

from Wouldham Village Stores for allowing the defibrillator cabinet to be

installed on his premises. If anyone is interested in learning how to use

the defibrillator, please contact the Clerk so we can get an idea on

numbers for a training session.

Part Night Street lighting – KCC have done a full assessment of the

ocal area and potential impacts of the part night street lighting. They are

looking for people with their local knowledge in the area to identify any

streets where it is felt a vulnerable group or community may be adversely

impacted by the changes. Please see www.kent.gov.uk/streelights for

further details or contact the Parish Council who can pass on specific

information with the column number or location to KCC. As usual, if you

see any streetlight problems that need reporting, please contact the Clerk

with location details, nearest property name/number and, if possible, the

number on the column.

Residents’ Questions on Village Concerns – A very positive meeting

was chaired by Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council leader Nicolas

Heslop on 28/2/14, along with the Borough Councillors, Parish Council

and village representatives who were addressing your concerns with

Peters Village amongst other issues. A question collating exercise has

also been carried out by a local resident. The Parish Council has been

working along with your Borough Councillors to find out the answers to

your questions from TMBC, KCC and Trenport. The minutes from the

TMBC meeting and your questions and answers are both now available

on the Parish Council website or hard copies can be requested from the

Clerk.

Councillors, Roger Dalton and Dave Davis, the results showed that out of

building of additional homes on the allotment site. The Parish Council

took on board residents’ views on this and at its meeting held on 11/3/14,

it unanimously voted to discontinue with the proposed allotment

development.

New Village Hall – Residents have expressed to the Parish Council that

they are interested in assisting with looking into funding for a new village

hall. The Village Hall Committee will therefore be looking to set up a

first instance for further details.

Wouldham All Saints Church of England Primary School

This term we have all been very busy learning about recycling and castles

for our themes. The infants have visited Rochester, Bodiam and Dover

Castles and had great fun pretending to be knights and princesses, we even

had a stray cat that needed scaring from the castle!

The juniors have been learning about recycling, and looking at facilities

locally and also about why it is important to protect our world and the

wildlife that lives here. Year 6 class have been to Tesco and seen first -

hand how the store deals with waste and it is linked to their project of

‘Farm to Fork’.

This term has been World Book Day and World Maths Day with lots of

exciting activities in school and also lots of visits to Strood library to meet

children’s authors. From these days has come lots of expressive writing

and a boost to maths with each class working hard to be the winner of the

maths challenge.

The children have also been enjoying Forest School at Shorne Wood and

there have been lots of sporting competitions and clubs for all age groups.

We have football, netball, gymnastics, judo, cross country as well as

swimming and sports mornings at North West Kent College. The children

are always active and we try and provide as many activities as we can, with

sewing, puppet, nature, chess and King Squad clubs happening at lunch-

times.

As we are all preparing for Easter with activities planned with All Saints

Church, there have been lots of events in school linked to Shrove Tuesday

and Ash Wednesday, with children racing with pancakes, and also children

being ‘ashed’ in worship. We have a weekly child led worship from our

Wouldham Worship Warriors, and they are growing in confidence and are

happy to plan and lead the worship each week.

The children are happy and contented at Wouldham and are given lots of

support and encouragement to achieve their potential. The school motto of

‘Fly HIGH’, and ‘make your best your standard’ really is helping everyone

to grow into independent and confident children who are happy to learn

and stick at work - even when it is difficult!

We at Wouldham All Saints School wish all the villagers of Burham and

Wouldham a very happy Easter.
