Ten Years On! A Big Thank You and a small request

Ten years ago, on Monday 16th July 2007, I was

licensed at Hatherleigh Parish Church as Priest-

in-Charge of Hatherleigh, Meeth, Exbourne and

Jacobstowe. With the addition of Northlew to our

group at the beginning of 2010, and then joining

together with the eight parishes of the Northmoor

Team, I now glory in the snappy title of ‘Team

Vicar in the Northmoor Team Ministry with

special responsibility for the parishes of

Hatherleigh, Meeth, Exbourne, Jacobstowe and

Northlew’

As we celebrate 10 years here, I just wanted to

say a BIG THANK YOU to you all for your

welcome, friendship, and understanding, as I

have learnt the ropes, both as a vicar and a

mother (with more still to learn). It has been a

lovely place to start a family, and Brendan and

Krysty have benefitted from being involved with

all sorts of happenings across the parishes. It is a

privilege to serve as a church minister in such a

beautiful place with such welcoming

people, and I am grateful to you all for

what you reveal to us of God’s love and

generosity.

Every two years, parish clergy in the

Diocese undergo a review of their ministry

and look at things they might do to grow

and develop. At my last review with Bishop

Nick McKinnel at the beginning of March,

we identified that, after 10 years, my office

and filing system is no longer fit for

purpose, and that having time to properly

redo the filing system and sort it out would

help me to work more effectively in the

future (and reduce my stress levels). He

therefore asked me to block out two weeks

without parish or service commitments to

‘mine deep’ in my office. I will be doing

this from Monday 17th July until Sunday

30th July (although I will appear at some

school leavers’ services and a couple of

special services during this time).

Therefore, my small request is that you

should only contact me during this time if

there is anything urgent. Please note that I

will not be regularly checking my email

during this time, but will check the

answerphone.

Thank you for all your kindness and

support!

Rev. Ruth Hansford (and Paul, Brendan,

Krysty, and the dogs: Flynn, Swallow, and

Eby; and the cats: Smokey and Bandit.)


Dear Friends,

One of the first things that Nigel and I did when we came to Hatherleigh nearly 5 years

ago, was to walk up to the Square one evening early in August and sit on the wall to

listen to the Silver Band. As we walked home we agreed that we had come to live in a

lovely place.

Hatherleigh has those wonderful occasions throughout the year when the town can

come together (with much voluntary hard work behind the scenes) and enjoy itself in

many ways. We have loved the glorious foolishness of the Walruses. We have loved

the yearly Pantomime, with familiar faces taking on heroic or villainous character. We

have loved the Festival, and the flaming torches of the Carnival, with the gathering of

the town the next day for the Remembrance Parade. These and many other events are

the essence of what makes Hatherleigh such a good place to live or grow up in. The

effort, the talent and the appreciation of your fellow townsfolk bring the community

together and hold it together. Long may all these things continue.

But they must continue without us! We are moving on, in the way that Methodist

Ministers do. On to Malvern in Worcestershire, a very different town which will have a

character all of its own to discover. Oh, but we will miss you all in Hatherleigh! I am

sorry that I never got to a Hatheleigh Football Club match (you’ve been my fantasy

Football team name for years!), or a Cricket match or a Bowls match. I’ve loved all the

local choirs. I will particularly miss the Gospel Choir and all of you who are part of it. I

will miss all the opportunities that Hatherleigh has to play, or do, or sing, or decorate a

float etc.

What I will, perhaps, miss the most is Christmas Eve in that same Square with the same

(award-winning) Silver band singing Christmas carols and giving thanks to God that He

sent Jesus to be born into our world to love us and to show how much He loves us. In

the open air, in the darkness of December with the children running around and mince

pies with clotted cream, all this is precious.

As so often when I’ve led the prayers while leading worship in Church or Chapel my

prayer for Hatherleigh is that the love of God will always be at the heart of all that goes

on here, and in the hearts of all who live or work here. So that this place may be blessed

and may come to understand what it is to be a part of God’s Kingdom. Amen

Yours with love, Sylvia C-W.

HATHERLEIGH

TOWN COUNCIL

Notes from last meeting

June 13th 2017

Next meeting July 11th

For more information see our website

www.hatherleightowncouncil.org/ Your 9 Councillors are Clare Tyson (Chair/Mayor),

Rachel Laycock (Deputy), Ian Trenaman, Deb Laing-

Trengove, Claire Gladstone, Peter Back, Keith King-

stone, Ben Bailey, Andrea Kimber.

This month we welcomed Cathy Aubertin from West

Devon Borough Council to discuss possible lease and

purchase options for the car park. Resident parking

permits were also considered. Costs were more than

anticipated and we are looking into our options and

gathering further information.

Following our working group meeting we have com-

piled a list of requests from community feedback on

suggestions/demands to relieve the towns parking

problems (see copy on website). The map which

Devon Highways asked us to create will now be re-

turned for their review. To repeat from previous notes

- we are dependent on DCC and WDBC for any

changes to the current parking situation being imple-

mented.

The repair to the Millennium Plaque on the wall at

Millennium Corner has finally being worked out and

the cost agreed. The work will be carried out by the

original ceramic artist John Roberts.

Following the refurbishment of the town’s toilets it

was reported that they have also received a complete

cleansing makeover and are looking in great condition.

Also reported was news that the Hatherleigh Festival

preparations are going well and the programme will

be in print soon. The Council agreed to donate £100 in

response to a sponsorship request.

District Councillor Kimber’s report included news that

the Business Information point BIP in Okehampton

has extra funding to distribute for small businesses.

Maintenance issues reported were: overhanging

hedge at the electricity station; road sign at Victoria

road damaged; style on footpath needs attention; Jubi-

lee footpath grass still to be cleared; the road signs

have been cleaned this time by Cllr. Back.

Can we remind people to once again please adopt a

hanging basket to water over the summer months.

Thank you to those who have already started.

Rubbish left on streets: we have all noticed the black

bags of discarded rubbish in numerous places left on

the streets creating an eyesore and health hazard.

PLEASE can people check their assigned waste collec-

tion weeks. If for whatever reason your rubbish fails to

be collected don’t leave it out for another 2 weeks.

Ring and report it to WDBC!

The cans and food tins recycle bank has been removed

by WDBC and is unlikely to return due to lack of use

making it financially unviable. Some people are con-

tinuing to leave bags of cans, these will be added to

litter bin refuse and end up in landfill so please use your

green recycle box for cans/tins.

Hatherleigh’s 1st Weed Pull Day!

Following the appeal last month to ‘Keep Hatherleigh

Tidy’ we are aware that some areas of town have im-

proved and we thank those people who help.

Weed killing is a problem because of reductions in

council budgets and the growing concern of using toxic

chemicals in public places. Weeds continue to remain a

problem and spurred by a newcomer to town offering

his services we thought we’d give this a try - let’s team

up to look after our streets and get together for a weed

pulling session. Bring a bucket, a pair of gloves and

trowel. We welcome all support! Meet at the defibril-

lator on the Coop wall weds 19th July at 7pm. Tarka Trail: Are people aware that there is an online

petition to Devon County Council asking for the miss-

ing link of the off-road section of the Tarka Trail to be

connected between Meeth and Hatherleigh. Currently

cyclists have to encounter a dangerous section of road

as they approach Hatherleigh. If you would like to add

your name to the petition search online Tarka Trail

petition.

Finally, although the Mayor urged everyone to shop in

the Coop store last Pump, what was meant was to

choose the Hatherleigh store over other supermarkets.

Of course first and foremost buy your products from

our local independent family businesses! Shop local,

think global!

Space is short here. A full account of the meetings are

available in the minutes, these are available on the

notice board at Millennium Square or on the Town

Council website at www.hatherleightowncouncil.org/

http://www.hatherleightowncouncil.org/

Recording Studio Opens Musicians, singers, film-makers, writers!

My new purpose-built, boutique recording

studio is now open (writes Geoff Hodgkin-

son). It’s part of my “creative hub” project

and it’s designed to suit all kinds of re-

cording, from voice-overs to solo singers to

bands of up to 10 musicians. I’ve installed

state-of-the-art, multi-track recording equip-

ment with lots of clever additions so there’s

plenty of scope to be creative. I’m keen to

encourage new talent and there will be spe-

cial rates for that. As an opening offer,

original songs will be recorded free of

charge. We also offer broadcast-quality

video services (we’ve just done a 5-camera

film of the Oliver production in North

Tawton) and our editing suite is state-of-the

-art, so if you want to make a film of your

song we can help. Contact

[email protected] or 01837 851253.

Rogus nr Wellington. A morning visit here

(we plan to arrive about 11 am) will be

followed by a visit to Dayspring Plants, a

nursery specialising in herbaceous perennials,

normally only wholesale but allowing our

group visit. This is on the way home, near

Exeter airport.

As this is a self-drive venture, the cost will be

minimal - £5 for Holcombe Court, which

goes to the church and, may I suggest, a

petrol contribution to your driver. A fee for

Dayspring Plants will be met by the Club.

There is, of course, the option, for those who

may not be interested in the nursery, of just

doing the morning - please make sure that

everyone in your car is of the same mind!!

And just to say, should you need reminding,

that the Flower Show this year is on

Saturday, August 19th and we hope to have

schedules out by the end of the month.

For any more information on any of the

above or general club activities, do contact

me on [email protected] or 01837 810893

Could you be a Rural

Champion? Do you have a passion for your parish?

Our aim is to build stronger communities and

reduce social isolation in rural areas which

may otherwise be “hard to reach”.

With this in mind, a Rural Champion is

an individual volunteer who is active in the

heart of their own community to raise

awareness of all local services, including

those of the Transitions Project, and also

local volunteering opportunities.

This is a flexible, enjoyable and rewarding

role for those aged 18 and over, with a

monthly commitment of about 2 hours and

with any out of pocket expenses reimbursed.

No DBS check is necessary.

If you are:

outgoing, empathetic and enthusiastic about

your own local area

with a basic knowledge of IT

And are willing to:

research any services and opportunities not

previously known about “signpost” and pass

on information to those in the area

liaise regularly with the Information Co-

ordinator at West Devon CVS

identify any gaps in services

undertake an initial induction with the

Information Co-ordinator

Then please contact Billie Burnett at West

Devon CVS on 01837 53392 or email

[email protected]

You will be asked to complete a short

application form and to provide 2 character

references

This role is supported by the Wiser£money

Partnership, Transitions Project, a rural

Money and Debt Advice Service for

Torridge and West Devon

Hatherleigh History Society At the meeting held on the 12th June we were

pleased to welcome Mike Paddock from

Highampton to tell us about his work with his

Heavy Horses on their farm. All the work on

the farm is undertaken by Mike`s many heavy

horses and much of the farm machinery is as

used by the Amish sect, meaning that their

farm is very environmentally friendly. Mike

served his apprenticeship on Prince Charles`s

estate at Highgrove and still undertakes work

for him.

The next meeting will be on the 10th July

when the very popular speaker, Simon Dell,

will be with us to talk about `Beatrice Chase a

Dartmoor Author`. All meetings are held in

Old Schools and start at 7.30pm, guests and

visitors welcome (£2)

Hatherleigh Church Bell

Ringers I would like to start by giving advanced notice of

the church bells being rung in August. On

Tuesday

the 1st of August we have a visiting band of

ringers who are going to attempt to ring a full

peal . This will consist of over 5000 changes and

will take a little over 3 hours, starting at 10.30am.

Then on the 5th of August, another visiting band

of ringers, are going to attempt a 1/4 peal. This

will begin at midday and should be over by

1.15pm.

Since my last report I am pleased to say we have

had some new faces in the tower. This is great

and our new learners are doing very well, but

there is always room for more! To try to

encourage more of you to give ringing ago we

asked our youngest ringer Will, who is 11, to

write a short piece for the pump. This is what he

wrote:-

“Hello! I was 9 when I started bell ringing , I

decided to start when I went to a bell ringing

practice in Dorset with a family friend.

I am now 11 and have learnt how to ring bell

number two , which is one of the lightest.! When

I first started I found catching the hand stroke the

most difficult , but now I can do almost all it!”

May - Monthly Weather

Report Rainfall:–May2017-45.30mm/1.78ins.(May2016-44.10mm/1.74ins.)

May proved to be another dry month, with

rainfall 30% less than the average that might

have been expected for this area. Twenty days

in the month saw no rain with four others

having just a trace. Many days in the month

were sunny and warm, especially over the last

week with Wednesday 24th being the hottest

day. A thunderstorm occurred overnight on

Friday 26th, with heavy rain and a spectacular

show of ‘sheet’ lightning. Over this period the

cuckoo made a late visit to the Moor and was

heard calling gaily on the 25th / 26th / and 27th.

My thanks go out to the six residents who got

in touch to inform me of this very good news.

A call I am pleased to say, that I was fortunate

to enjoy as well.

Hatherleigh Carnival News The Carnival Committee would like to

thank everyone who came along and sup-

ported the “Hatherleigh Does Haven” eve-

ning, everyone seemed to get into the holi-

day spirit and had a great time. There are so

many people we would like to thank for

their part in making the evening such a suc-

cess, and huge thanks indeed to Mr Robin

Wonnacott who made such a genial and

thoroughly comical host who kept the eve-

ning running so brilliantly. Thank you so

much to Jess Squire (aka Jazzy J) who kept

us all moving and grooving with her party

dances which were lots of fun, and also or-

ganised and judged the dance competition.

Thanks to Ian King for kindly loaning us his

disco and thanks to Roy and Ian for being

our fab DJ’s for the evening. The bingo

was great fun, thank you to Mr Vallance for

loaning his machine and to Katie Bennett

for making such a brilliant bingo caller,

thanks also to The Tally HO!, The George

Hotel, The Paper Shop, The Chip Shop and

Co-op for donating some lovely prizes.

Thanks to Helen Reddaway for putting to-

gether some fun quizzes – sounds like an

oxymoron but they really were enjoyable (I

still can’t get the link in the picture round

though?!). The glamorous and entertaining

“Moonlight Melodies” sounded as lovely as

they looked, thank you so much Eliza

Squire and Christy Rice we all loved your

cabaret. The M&S Magic show didn’t stop

amazing and astounding the children, and

adults, all night with their fantastic tricks.

Our President was officially introduced and

his first duty was give the sash to this year’s

Carnival Prince Master Harry Winearls and

Princess Miss Zoe Wonnacott. Our little

royal pair are both 4 and have been the best

of friends since they were born, they will be

starting school together at Hatherleigh in

September. Harry’s mum Sophie and Zoe’s

mum Nat were on a number of floats to-

gether from about the age of 5 and they too

have been friends forever. Zoe’s parents

Mark and Nat were Prince and Princess

together many years ago, so who knows

where this will lead! Zoe has been on the

family float every year since she was a baby

but this will be the first time on a float for

Harry who has only taken part in last year’s

afternoon procession and he is already look-

ing forward to it. We wish them well with

all their float making and look forward to

seeing the finished float on Carnival day.

Unfortunately, our Queen Miss Annie

Strawbridge was attending a Duke of Edin-

burgh Awards event on that night so she

will receive her sash from last year’s Queen

Miss Elizabeth Hutton at the Carnvial Disco

on July 14th in the market so please come

along. Entrance is £6, it’s for 16 and over

(ID must be provided) music is by the popu-

lar BK Discos, there will be a bar and a bar-

becue. We are limited to 400 at the disco,


so please come along early to avoid the dis-

appointment of being turned away- some-

thing we hate doing but insurance, health

and safety regulations are so strict.

Now on to our Vintage Rally on Saturday

August 5th which is looking set to be a bril-

liant day. Gates will open at 11am and we

already have a number of vintage cars, bikes,

tractors and stationary engines, but there will

also be fairground rides, bouncy castle, bar-

becue, bar, tea tent, entertainment, stalls both

vintage and modern and there will also be

autojumble– additionally we will have our

new range of carnival merchandising which

unfortunately was not at the Haven night as

most of it was lost in some warehouse never

to be seen again! So replacements have now

been sent and we hope you like it all. Stalls

cost £10 and if you are interested in having

one please call Dawn on 810265. We would

like to print a little programme for the day,

and I know Linda will soon be around asking

if you would like to advertise in the lovely

main carnival programme, but if you feel

you would like to advertise in the vintage

rally one as well for £10 please call me on

811255, thank you. At 3.30pm we hope that

all the exhibitors with roadworthy vehicles

will take part in a parade which will follow

the carnival route, so please can we ask that

everyone parks with consideration on that

day and does not park both sides of the

streets to allow a clear thoroughfare. At the

time of going to press (as contracts have not

been signed) I cannot give the very exciting

details of the band we have booked to play

in the evening all I can say is PLEASE

keep your eye out for posters, press re-

leases and our facebook page as we

think people are going to love them!

Louise Bater

Team Barnardo’s London

Marathon 2017 For the last 18 months I have been

pounding the local roads training to run

the Virgin London Marathon. During

this 18 months I have run four competi-

tive half marathons and the full mara-

thon in London, along with what feels

like endless training miles. In these races

I have achieved four personal best times,

including a personal best marathon time

of 4:39, beating my previous best mara-

thon time by 1 hour and 18 minutes.

However the most important statistic is

the £2260 that was raised for Barnardo's.

I would like to take this opportunity to

thank all of my friends, family and

strangers who supported, helped and

donated along the way. To all of you,

THANKYOU.

The Best Job In The

World? You may be thinking about working for

yourself, in which case here is an opportu-

nity for you to consider.

Very regrettably, I am having to give up the

wonderful job of the “Hatherleigh Milk

Lady”. I really want this business to remain

alive and kicking, serving Hatherleigh,

Northlew, Meeth and Jacobstowe.

If you can get up early in the morning, are

relatively fit, can cope with the occasional

rather wet day, and revel in the glorious dry

days, this job could be for you.

This is so much more than a doorstep deliv-

ery service. You will meet and get to know

the wonderful people, who are existing cus-

tomers and I am sure you will add to the

current list.

Basically, it is my idea of the very best job

in the world, for so many reasons. If you

are interested in taking this over, please call

me on 07975 846930 and I will give you

more details.

‘Poet and Painter’ Helen Jagger and Michael Moss

Exhibition of poems & paintings at Salar

Gallery, The poems & paintings in this exhibition

(and limited edition book of the same title)

were inspired by the wildlife of the rivers

that flow from Bodmin Moor. It’s a two-

way conversation over three years between

Michael Moss’s paintings and Helen Jag-

ger’s poems.

With titles such as ‘Source’, ‘Digging for

Lugworms’, ‘Swallows’, ‘Sunlight, Golitha

art book with poems, or poetry book with

art, will grasp the richness of Cornish wild-

life and of Cornish art.” (Says Terence Doo-

HATHERLEIGH COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL Tel: 01837 810248 Email: [email protected] Website: www.hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk

Hatherleigh School are delighted with the outcome of their recent OFSTED visit. The school is judged to be good and safeguarding is effective. The Inspector commented upon how the children clearly enjoy coming to school and feel happy and safe while they are learning. He also praised the school for 'effective teamwork at the heart of the school's approach'. However we are not compla-cent and continue to look for ways to move the school forward and to improve opportunities and outcomes for all our children. This is not always very easy in a climate of constant and rapid change with tightening budgets and increasing demands. However we are very lucky at Hatherleigh to have a dedicated team of governors and staff determined to keep the welfare and education of the children in our community our priority and to resist unnecessary change. I would like to take this opportunity to thank, once again, the community who support and enrich the life of the school in so many ways. CO-OP Points Thank you once again to the CO-OP members who donated their points to the School's PTFA. It was an amazing bonus for the school funds and it will help to broaden the curriculum and provide learning resources for the children. Summer Fair Our Summer Fair will be taking place on Saturday 15th July at the school. This is an occasion when we welcome the whole community to come and visit! More information can be found on posters which will soon be appearing around the town.

Can You Help Syrian

Refugees? When we first asked this question at the

public meeting held at Tavistock Community

College in February 2017, (writes Angus

Doulton, Chair of West Devon Safe

Haven) the immediate result was to form the

group which is now called West Devon Safe

Haven. The group is working towards helping

a small number of refugee families to settle in

West Devon and become members of our

community. This is all part of

the Government’s Syrian Vulnerable Persons

Resettlement Scheme. This scheme supports

and funds a small number of refugees who are

considered most vulnerable to move directly

to the UK, from UNHCR camps in Lebanon

and Turkey. West Devon Safe Haven is

working with West Devon Borough Council

to find suitable accommodation and then to

help the families settle into their new home

and so make their first months in West Devon

as easy and welcoming as possible – not

forgetting that most of our new families will

have been through the horrifying experiences

that we have all seen in the media. Two

families will arrive in West Devon over the

next two months, and a few more in the

following months. We recognise that we can't

affect the overall crisis, but we can at least

offer a place of safety and new hope to a few

families who have neither. Our aim is to

support the families to be become independent

members of our community. Central

Government provides much of the basic

requirements for these new families when

they arrive and we hope to provide some of

the other things that are required to help their

move as successful as possible and which may

help make a new start less of a trauma,

perhaps a television, children's bikes, toys,

and toiletries. We will subsequently support

the families with learning English,

understanding our culture and community and

helping to resolve the practical problems

arising from moving to a totally new

environment with only the clothes they stand

up in. The aim is to support these refugees to

become independent members of our

community during their 5 year stay in the UK.

Our new families may arrive with next to

nothing and we can’t guess what they will

need before they arrive and so we have

established a “Welcome Fund” to help

provide the things they might need. West

Devon Safe Haven is in the process of

becoming formally registered as a charity. If

you would like to support West Devon Safe

Haven or ask for one of our pledge forms,

please contact [email protected] or

Step Back in Time is a bit like a time machine. Step through the

entrance and be transported back through

recent history, all the way to the dark ages. A

fun weekend for all the family. Thanks to the

many exhibitors who attend this event each

year, we cover a wide range of significant

periods in history. Each period is represented

either by living history exhibits, where re-

enactors live the way they would have done at

a particular point in time, or, in the case of

more recent history, exhibits such as tools and

vehicles, even domestic equipment, represent

their unique point in time. Some of the history

goes so far back in time, that we are still

digging it up! We are delighted to be joined

by ACE Archaeology Club, of Winkleigh,

who are undertaking an archaeological dig at

our Moistown site, which you can see in

action at the festival. The Step Back in Time

Festival, held at Broadwoodkelly, near

Winkleigh, is set by the remains of a medieval

manor house, within an ancient landscape. It

brings together Re-enactment groups from

throughout the ages. From Dumnonika, who

represent the life of a Briton in the Iron Age,

when the Romans had forts within easy

contact, to the Vikings who raided and settled

the region from about 790 until the Norman

conquest of 1066. The Oathsworn

Warband , amongst others, will represent

these times, and their descendants. Kernow

Levy, and similar groups, will help you to

discover what it was like to live in the

medieval times. From Knight to a member

of the peasantry, by the King's decree, all

had to train in the arts of war as part of their

Hundred. Thanks to Hazelgrove Archery,

this year will also see demonstrations of the

Arts of the projectile weapon. Inspired by

the local histories, all these groups will

show you live demonstrations of the

fighting arts and styles of their times.

Because life was not all warfare, there is a

living history encampment, with

demonstrations of the crafts of living, and

examples of contemporary music performed

by members of The Harpies of Havoc. Who

knows who, (and what time they came

from), you will bump into as you Step Back

in Time....

Help with Heat? Homeowners in West Devon who need

to replace a broken or inefficient boiler,

or install central heating, may be

eligible for assistance through funds

from their council.

The councils are working in partnership

with not-for-profit organisation Wessex

Resolutions delivering fixed rate loans for

home improvements.

The average lifespan of a boiler is 10-15

years and the Energy Saving Trust

estimates that if you replace an old G-

rated boiler with a modern A-rated boiler

with a full set of heating controls, you

could save around £340 a year on your

gas bill. However, loans can also support

people who are not connected to gas and

who need to replace or install oil central

heating or electric heating systems.

Loan funds are recycled for the benefit of

the community. Each time a repayment is

made the money goes back into the

original lending pot and is then available

to help more people across the district.

Emma Lower of Wessex Resolutions said

"Being able to help the local people to keep

their families warm and healthy means a

huge amount to us and we are so pleased that

the local council can offer this money

because the need is unquestionably there".

For more information please call Wessex

Resolutions on 01823 461099 or visit

Wessex Resolutions

Loans have a fixed interest rate and typical

4.2% APR and are subject to status. Missing

future payments could affect your credit

rating and ability to obtain credit in the

future. Wessex Resolutions CIC may insist

MEETH Meeth Guild In June, the Ladies of Meeth Guild had a very

enjoyable night out "at the theatre" The theatre

being St Peter's Church, North Tawton, the

production Lionel Bart's Oliver, performed by

the St Peter's Troupers with local children

playing the orphans and urchins. With such

local talent, Who needs London's West End!!!

There will be no meeting in July as we plan an

outing to Docton Mill. Date yet to be decided

as it is an outside activity and therefore

weather dependant.

St. Michael and All Angels

Church Meeth

The Washaway Gallery Choir

Concert held in the Church in June, was very much

enjoyed by all. It was a truly special time of

thanksgiving and celebration for the comple-

tion of all the work carried out on the Church

over the past eighteen months and more. The

Rev. Ruth expressed our thanks and gratitude

to Miss Jenny Green, our fabric co-ordinator

for all her hard work in bringing this project to

completion. Jenny was presented with a bou-

quet of flowers, chocolates and a voucher for a

special Pamper Spa Break.

Refreshments were then served and there was

time to mingle and chat. Sincere thanks to all

who helped in any way to make this concert a

success.

Churchyard Working Party Grateful thanks to all who attended and

worked so hard, much tidying was accom-

plished, clearing Church gutters, clearing

weeds and growth around trees and boundary

hedges etc. Thank you to Phyllis for providing

other working party in the autumn.

St Michael & All Angels is a beautiful Grade

II* listed church with a number of special

features and monuments. Masonry work to

the tower was urgent as water ingress was

damaging the structure and the stones were

much worse towards the top requiring extra

stonework. When the vestry floor was dug for

pipework a large void was discovered under-

neath requiring a new limecrete floor. The

17th century tiles at the base of the tower have

been carefully restored and relaid. New facili-

ties have been installed which will enable the

church to hold more activities to engage with

the local community. The very bumpy

churchyard path has been replaced and access

is now much easier.

Recent archaeological finds revealed evidence

of an earlier church on the site with an early

medieval feature and three medieval graves.

It is important that the church and its heritage

are safeguarded for future generations.

Our architect, Mr Simon Cartlidge, won an

award in 2015 from the Diocesan Advisory

Committee for the Care of Churches for the

Church of St Michael and All Angels for ‘A

comprehensively researched submission re-

garding the treatment of fabric in an attempt

to solve a centuries-old problem’. He has

been enormously supportive throughout this

project.

Revd Dr Ruth Hansford said, “It is a huge

achievement for a small village church to have

undertaken and completed such a large pro-

ject. It would not have been possible without

so much help and support from grant-giving

Church Fete The fete this year will be held on the 29th

July at 2 p.m. in Friars Hele Farm Gardens by

kind invitation of Mrs. Kim Boeijink. We

will NOT be holding a Dog Show or Lunches

this year due to the change of circumstances.

It will be a traditional Church Fete with all

the usual stalls, plus an excellent Draw and

an extra special High Tea. We look forward

to welcoming you!

John Dennis It was with great sadness that we heard of the

passing of our very dear friend and Bell Cap-

tain. John farmed at Park Farm, Meeth, for

many years before retiring and moving to

Hatherleigh last year. He was a much loved

member of our community, a true gentleman

and friend to all. John was a much respected

Bell Captain and spent many hours encourag-

ing others to take up the art of bell ringing.

He will be sadly missed! Rest in peace dear

John!

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family

and friends at this time.

thanks that the church can now continue to

be a place of worship and community at the

heart of the village.”

Heritage Lottery Fund awarded an amaz-

ing £156,400 towards the project, which

could not have been completed without this

grant. The National Churches Trust and

Devon Historic Churches Trust came to

the rescue with extra funds for the addi-

tional work required to the tower and ves-

try floor. Our sponsors have all been ex-

tremely helpful and supportive throughout

the project.

The total cost of the project was £273,448.

The latest meeting was held on Thursday

After refreshments the business was dealt

with. Mary Daniel is to organise the skittles

team, with the help of Ann Langworthy, for

the next season. A meeting is to be held in

the village hall on Thursday June 15 to

form a sub-committee to put together the

speakers for next year.

Members discussed the two Resolutions

which will be taken to the Annual Meeting at

Liverpool. It was decided that the representa-

tive uses her discretion on Alleviation of

Loneliness and 15 members were in favour

of voting for Plastic Soup. Order sheets were

available for calendars and diaries. Margaret

Cleveland has had a photograph printed on

the calendar.

It was decided to keep the lunches to bi-

Exbourne Choir Concert Exbourne Choir performed their Summer

Concert in front of a full house at Charter

Hall, Okehampton on Saturday 17 June.

Pauline Savage has been working with the

choir for many months now ably assisted by

pianist/organist Christine Cleverdon.

The enthusiastic audience of 120 were enter-

tained with a wide range of music to suit all

tastes. The choir opened with “Hallelujah”

by Leonard Cohen followed by a Concert

medley of popular Lloyd Webber numbers.

A change of emphasis saw the choir perform

Bach’s “Air” perhaps better known to more

mature readers as the theme music for the

Hamlet cigar advertisement. Any concert

today is not complete without pieces from

John Rutter and the choir did not disappoint

with renditions of “Sally Gardens” featuring

soloist Maxwell Turner, “Bold Grenadier”

and an exciting performance of the famous

Northumbrian folk-song “The Keel Row”.

The first half of the concert ended with yet an-

other change of emphasis with the choir singing

two classic pieces from Joseph Haydn’s The

Creation – “Achieved is the Glorious Work”

followed by a stirring performance of “The

Heavens are Telling” featuring Manda King ,

Maxwell Turner & Tim Sutton-Coulson.

Following a break where drinks were served,

the choir opened the second half with the well-

known Gilbert & Sullivan number from the Pi-

rates of Penzance – “The Policemen’s Chorus”.

Yet another change of emphasis saw the choir

sing Queens most famous piece “Bohemian

Rhapsody”. More John Rutter followed with

“Afton Water” before the choir sang Mendels-

sohn’s “How Lovely are the Messengers” and

their moving rendition of Handel’s “Hallelujah

Chorus”. The evening rounded off with a fun

version of Frederick Loewe’s “Ascot Gavotte”

from My Fair Lady followed by “Sit Down

You’re Rocking the Boat” from Guys and Dolls.

As an encore the choir sang a moving version of

“You Raise me Up”

The evening was interspersed with Solos and

trio songs from various members of the choir

including Lara Walker, Judy Proctor, Emma

Evans, Ruth Penrose, Karen Pellow & Tim

Sutton-Coulson. The show was superbly

compered by Okehampton College student Ryan

Harrell.

The National Churches Trust were the charity

supported by the choir.

The Choir is always looking for new vocalists.

Patronal Service Another date to note down is Sunday 30th July

when we shall hold our United Patronal Service

at St. Mary's Church at 11 am, this is an impor-

tant Service in the life of the Church and this

year the format has changed, so do join us for a

lovely Service and stay for light refreshments at

the close. All very welcome.

Thank You The Cancer Research UK House to House col-

lection in Exbourne undertaken by Mary Daniel

and Dave Weeks raised £372.02 for the charity.

Grateful thanks are expressed to those who do-

nated.

Wild About Exbourne In 2012 the Devon Wildlife Trust, with others,

carried out a survey of the flora and fauna in

Exbourne. We are keen to add to this list so that

the records can be kept up to date. Monitoring

the biodiversity of an area can tell us about the

health (or otherwise) of the state of the wildlife

within the parish. We know many of you are

members of the DWT and the RSPB so will be

aware of the State of Nature Report 2016 which

indicates that many of our favourite species are

in decline.

We need your help. In Exbourne village hall

we have displayed some wildlife and environ-

mental information which we hope you will find

interesting. This will be changed from time to

time so there should always be something new

to read. There is a folder containing a form

which we would like you to fill in and return, if

possible on a monthly basis. We will then pass

the details to the DWT.

We are hoping you will record, not only the

birds that come into your garden, but also any

sightings of bumblebees, butterflies, snakes,

toads, frogs and newts, bats and owls.

Our hedgerows are home to a variety of flowers

as well as mammals and these too we would like

recorded. The micro library has some identifica-

tion reference books available so that, if, like us,

you are not brilliant at identifying them, help is

available.

Exbourne Village Hall Work on the Village Hall continues with elec-

trical work being carried out to meet current

regulations and to update the kitchen coin me-

ter to take the new £1 coins.

The following events are taking place in the

Hall in July:

Yoga on Friday mornings from 9.30 a.m. with

Kathy

Table Tennis is on Monday evenings from

6.30pm – contact Mark Tungate (851225) This

is a regular event that anyone can join in but

the Table Tennis equipment is available for

use at other times at a nominal charge of £1

per head and no charge for children. Contact

Sheila White (01837 851306).

The Community Fete will be held on Saturday

1st July in the Hall and, weather permitting, in

part of Duck Lane. This arrangement worked

very well last year as it created a lovely atmos-

phere and gave much more room for mingling

and chatting and enjoying the various stalls

etc.

Exbourne Community Library in Exbourne

In conjunction with the Devon Library Service

The dates for June are

Northlew fundraising Recently a large amount of money has been

raised for local good causes. In April the land-

lord of The Green Dragon, Dan Abscombe

organised a very successful Fun Day. This

with the evening of music and dancing, made

the terrific sum of £3,000. and has been do-

nated as follows: £2,000 for the Air Ambu-

lance night landing site, £700 for a much

needed freezer for the Community shop, and

£300 reserved to finance the 2018 Fun Day.

Then on May 7th Shaun Millership organised a

Vintage Tractor Run which was also very

popular, with over fifty tractors rolling into

Northlew Square on Sunday morning. Once

more the sun shone and everyone had a good

day. There was a wide range of ages among

the drivers--Ernie Stanbury, aged 89, being the

most senior and Beccy Dennis, aged 17 the

youngest. In excess of £1,500 was raised and

has been donated equally to the Parish Church,

where Shaun is a Churchwarden, and the Air

Ambulance site.

Dan and Shaun wish to thank everyone for all

the help given at these events--all the fetching

and carrying and setting up on the playing field

for the many Fun Day activities, all the food

cooked and served for the Tractor Run. They

were two memorable days and both will now

become annual events. Very many thanks to

Dan and Shaun, all the helpers and all who

contributed to such wonderful results. We look

forward to next time!

The Emperor's New Clothes July 14 'The Emperor's New Clothes' will be per-

formed by Illyria who originally performed

this timeless Hans Christian Andersen story in

2000, when it was the Critic?s choice at the

Edinburgh Fringe festival and attracted multi-

ple 5-star reviews on a sell-out UK tour. Be-

neath the fancy clothes of the tale lies some-

thing more meaningful; human weaknesses are

satirised mercilessly; and a capacity for loving

is the highest value. There are larger-than-life

characters, lots and lots to join in with ? and an

ending that will leave you helpless with laugh-

ter! It will be on Friday 14th July at Nethercott

House near Okehampton, Farms for City Chil-

dren?s Devon Farm, where Illyria will be per-

forming the play 'The Emperor's New Clothes'.

The event will take place outside at Nethercott

House, near Okehampton, EX19 8SN. Tickets

are £16 for adults and £12 for children under

12. Gates open at 5pm. A hog roast and drinks

will be available from 5.30pm. The perform-

ance will begin promptly at 7pm and lasts 1

val. Tickets are available via Farms for City

Our “Music in the Barn” Day The day dawned bright, sunny and warm on Sat-urday 13th May 2017 for our Musical Afternoon in the Barn at our home “Oakhayes” between Monkokehampton and Winkleigh. After a week spent preparing the Big Barn for the Orchestra known as the Bondleigh Barn Band to perform in, also to accommodate the audience, together with the Baby Barn which our team of 5 ladies used to prepare the Devon Cream Teas, all was at last ready. In great anticipation, 39 musicians turned up at 1.45pm to park in the field and then to tune their instruments in readiness for playing and from 2pm onwards nearly 200 folk turned up to listen to us playing everything from Classic, Jazz, Folk and some sing-along songs which everyone joined in – we made it easy by having the words

on a big screen for all to read so there was no excuse for people not singing !! In the interval our worthy team of 5 ladies sold the Cream Teas that they had been busy preparing while the orchestra was playing and it took over an hour to serve them as there was such demand !! It all turned into a very happy, social occasion with lots of fa-miliar music thrown in for good measure. Alan and I would like to thank everyone who helped us prepare for this event, for all the musicians who came to play, for so many people who took time out to come and listen to us and enjoy a Cream Tea and for every-one who donated so generously to Devon Air Ambulance – we raised £972.50 (plus two 5 US Dimes which I believe I had dropped into our Devon Air POT thinking they were 5p pieces !!). Our Thanks for making our event such a huge success - from Jennie & Alan GILL
