CONKER BASH RESULTS
Wow, what a day! The sun came out and the competitors arrived in great numbers. The Village Hall Association
send grateful thanks to our sponsors Browns, who helped to make the event such a success. We offered a
barbecue which so popular we ran out of food! Teas and coffees were also sold by the dedicated group of ladies
and as usual the bar did a healthy trade. I was thrilled that such great numbers came from Elham School, especially
in the Under 7’s classes. Moving from the Triangle to the Village Hall proved to be an excellent decision. I must
thank the hardworking adjudicators who kept the judging flowing, and to Pat Holmes who helped by booking in the
contributors. There was some fierce competition particularly between the men, and the results are as follows:
Champion Runner Up
Boys 7yrs and under Sam Reed Theo Towers
Girls 7yrs and under Ella Simms Grace Cleaver
Boys 8-11yrs Toby Dodd Carawyn Williams
Girls 8-11yrs Ellie Francis Fiona Harrison
Ladies and Girls over 12yrs Sara Austin Lisa Austin

Did you know the Elham Playground isn’t the responsibility of the Parish Council?
It’s OUR responsibility!
The Parish Council have leased the play park ground to Play for Elham. Our primary aim is to
raise funds to pay for the annual insurance (currently in excess of £2K), ROSPA checks, cutting
the grass and routine maintenance costs for the play equipment. You may have noticed that
two pieces of equipment at the play park are currently out of action and are awaiting repair. These
are the zip wire and the log seat. We would like the repairs to be carried out as quickly as possible but once the
annual costs are met, our funds will have been depleted. Due to the nature of the repairs required we are unable
to carry out this essential work ourselves and the current estimate is in excess of £500 just for the zip wire.
How can you help us?
Monetary donations are always gratefully received (cheques can be made out to ‘Play for Elham’ or cash
handed to one of the committee’s members).
Assistance at events such as the Annual Spooky Halloween Parade or Craft Afternoons.
For those gardeners out there, why not come along to one of our volunteer gardening sessions
Join our small committee of three busy mums, new members are always welcome.
Give suggestions and ideas on how we might improve events such as the Halloween Parade and party, or
any other fundraising ideas.
Take part in a sponsored event on behalf of Play for Elham.
Local business to donate to or sponsor our events.
FAMILY CHRISTMAS CRAFT AFTERNOON
Sunday 20 November 2-4pm, Elham Village Hall Following the success of our Summer event we will be running a festive craft afternoon this Autumn in conjunction with
Cowling & Wilcox. This event will enable children (and adults alike) to have lots of fun trying different crafts and making
unique creations to take home. It’s the ideal opportunity to make those one-off Christmas gifts too!
Cowling & Wilcox will also be selling materials and gifts at very special prices during the day. A small entrance fee applies at
the door, and craft activities range from £1 to £5. All proceeds will be donated to PfE.
Could you help us at either of these events?
Contact [email protected], or telephone: Briony (840083), Emma (840447) or Cristina (840232) about Play for
Elham, visit our website www.playforelham.co.uk or follow us on Facebook.

A new kitten is a very exciting addition to the family. They are cute little balls of fluff that are very appealing but it’s
important to remember that the kitten will rely on you for a lifetime of love, food, security and care. Many cats live
to 15-20 years old so it’s really important to be sure this commitment will suit your lifestyle before embarking on
cat ownership.
Is your home suited to a cat? Consider if your new addition is to be an indoor or outdoor cat. If outdoor, are
you near main or busy roads? If indoor, a litter tray will be required, so you’ll need to be prepared to clean this
out daily and it can be quite smelly! It’s also important to remember that kittens can be mischievous, and have
been known to knock over ornaments, climb curtains and claw the furniture!
Will your lifestyle accommodate a cat? All pets like company, so consider how much time you can devote to
your new kitten. If you go away, who will care for your cat, and how expensive will this be?
Does your budget suit a cat? Quality food, vaccinations, flea and worm treatment are all needed to keep your
cat healthy. Most veterinary practices have health plans to help spread these costs over the year and you should
consider insurance so that treatment costs are covered in the event of an accident or sudden illness. If you’ve
decided you are ready to get a kitten, make sure that you buy from a reputable breeder or rescue centre. You
should be able to see the mum and the premises should be clean, calm and warm. At Bourne Veterinary Practice
we have lots of information to help you make the right choice so call us on 01227 832322.

POST OFFICE OPENING HOURS
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
9.30am - 12.30pm
The Kings Arms, The Square, Elham
Walkers are Welcome members enjoying a
September walk on the White Cliffs, Dover
There are two consultations to which I’d like to draw your attention. The first is from Kent County
Council about the financial challenge ahead. We have been making substantial savings (£500m over the
last six years on a budget of around £1,000m) but we estimate we need to find another £153m over the
next three years (more if council tax does not rise). This is to cope with rising demand for social care,
rising costs such as the new National Living Wage, rising taxes such as landfill tax, insurance tax, carbon
emissions taxes and increases in National Insurance for our staff and the removal over the next three years of our government
grant. Some councils are now reporting that they will be unable to balance the books over the next three years (Lancashire
County Council is an example). Kent County Council is in a better position because of the work started in 2010 but there’s
no doubt that this is a time of unprecedented pressure on councils that have social care responsibilities.
Most people have a view on council tax and council services (social services, roads, services to schools, community wardens,
libraries and more) and this is your chance to make your voice heard.
The budget consultation is available at www.kent.gov.uk/budget and you have until 27 November to respond. If you are not
online then ring 03000 421553 for a paper copy or contact me.
The Boundary Commission is also asking for views. A few years ago it proposed that Elham should form part of the Dover
constituency which caused much consternation in the parish. This time the proposal for the Folkestone & Hythe constituency
sees the area called Saxon Shore move to Ashford (where it was originally) and the rest of the seat stays the same. This has
the advantage that the district council boundary will be the same as the constituency and Elham stays in Folkestone & Hythe.
The Boundary Commission was asked to come up with a scheme that reduced the number of MPs from 650 to 600 and for
each constituency to have roughly the same number of electors (between 71,000 and 78,000). You can see the proposals on
www.bce2018.org.uk and you have until 05 December to respond. There’s also an opportunity to make representations in
person to the Boundary Review’s Assistant Commissioners as part of a national tour when they come to County Hall in
Maidstone on 03 and 04 November.
The Boundary Commission says ‘…in previous reviews there were several occasions when people who had not made known
their support for the initial proposals were surprised when the BCE subsequently published revised proposals. It was only at
that late stage that they then made known their support for the initial proposals, often in very large numbers.’ So do please
look at the proposals and have your say. I think it is a good scheme and deserves support.

The first film by Mike Lewis, features the wildlife of New Zealand, particularly the unique birdlife. The second is entitled ‘Speechless’, partly because the stunning photography of the polar regions may leave you speechless, but also because it has no commentary. It is accompanied by very atmospheric music especially composed for the film. This is a unique opportunity to see this professional production, which has not been generally released in this country. Admission is £5 to include an interval glass of wine and nibbles. Tickets are available at the door, but may be reserved in advance from Mike and Marilyn Lewis on 01227 831208.

Attention!
Tickets are now on sale at Laing Bennett in Lyminge (01303863580) or online
at lymingedramaticsociety.co.uk for our Autumn production of Alan Ayckbourn's
'Neighbourhood Watch' directed by Trevor Gasson. This promises to be a very enjoyable and entertaining
production - albeit with a provocative element - 'There are some blissfully comic moments...' Charles Moore the
Daily Telegraph theatre critic. It is on from the 9-12 November at Lyminge Village Hall at 7.45pm. Tickets are
£8; Wednesday is concession night with concession tickets £6. There will be a bar every night and tea and coffee
will be available in the interval. To commemorate 55 memorable years of Lyminge Dramatic Society the Saturday
performance will be a sparkling, special gala night with free prosecco and free canapés. Forget about the autumnal
gloom, damp and chill and join us!
We enjoyed an excellent talk given by two Kent Fire Brigade officers on how to keep ourselves
safe in our homes. Apparently most domestic fires are preventable, especially if one is up to date
with how to protect oneselves, mostly by utilising alarms. We learned that the dangers of smoke
and carbon monoxide gasses are serious and if the worst should happen in your home, you should
know your route of escape.
The Brigade’s latest piece of equipment is an oxygen mask designed to be adapted to fit most of our household
pets.
We were reassured that domestic fires are very uncommon but it so valuable to have knowledge on how to
proceed. The Fire Service does offer a totally free visit to every house holder, all you have to do is contact them

In September a group of us enjoyed an excellent cream tea at Lathe Barn, and on
21st September Jim Davies gave us an illustrated talk on ‘Invicta Coal’, the story of the Kent coalfields. The first
pit opened in Kent in 1896. Previously, women and children were employed underground in atrocious conditions
in other parts of the country, but this was stopped in 1842. Experienced miners came from England and Scotland
to Tilmanstone, Snowdown, Chislet and Betteshanger, and East Kent became a boom area, producing 13 million
tons of coal a year before Betteshanger, the last pit to close, finished on the 25th August 1989.
The competition was won by Ronnie Mozley, with Paula Peers 2nd, Daphne Andrew 3rd and Jean Lissenden 4th.
On 16th November we welcome Paul Jarvis talking on Customs and Excise. We meet at Rhodes Minnis Village
Hall at 2pm and welcome visitors whose first visit will be free. For further details please contact Marion Hoare on

RHODES MINNIS CIRCLE
A plea to inconsiderate dog owners Responsible dog owners are being given a bad name by the few inconsiderate ones who, having
taken the trouble to bag their dog waste, then leave the bags piled up at the field entrance or
tastefully draped on a fence, as in this photograph. Who do they think will come and collect
them? Responsible owners dispose of these bags at home or in the bins provided around the
village. For the benefit of all who enjoy our beautiful countryside, this is a heartfelt plea to the inconsiderate and
lazy owners to do likewise. Thank you in anticipation.
On 8 October we held our Autumn Coffee Morning which raises
money for charity. A fine morning brought a good crowd to the
Village Hall to drink coffee, and buy cakes, bulbs and plants. The biggest talking point was the splendid cake baked
by Eve Vaughn and beautifully decorated by Tony Upson. This was the prize won by Pauline Flanagan who guessed
the correct weight: 8lbs 15oz. Thank you Eve for the lovely cake.
There may be a few tickets left for the Annual Dinner to be held on 5 November. Do contact Jenny Gasson
840395 as soon as possible. It is an event not to be missed.
The speaker at the meeting on 17 November has changed. Alison Marston will give a talk entitled ‘More Garden
for Less Effort’, something we all want!
The AGM of the Society will be held on 8 December. Do make a note of the date. Regular meetings are held on
the third Thursday of each month in the Peggy Pike room at the Village Hall. Guests are always welcome.

CHURCH MATTERS ‘Remember, Remember the 5th of November Gunpowder, treason and plot! We see no reason why Gunpowder
treason should ever be forgot.’ There is more to November than Guy Fawkes failed attempt in 1605 to overrule
King James I in Parliament however exciting and historic ‘Bonfire Night’ is! The dark November evenings and
mornings remind us that the darkness that covers our nightmares cover our souls as well. We are not the same
people in the dark as we are in the light. We see differently if we see at all. The sounds we hear are not the same;
they are louder or unfamiliar. Night-time conversations differ from the day. Business is conducted with a different
eye, suffering and pain grow heavier and wearier and love has a different passion.
If you have moved to a new house, especially if it is an old one, getting used to the new noises of a house can be
terrifying especially for those with vivid imaginations. I stayed with my own mother recently and she has grown
more scared about being alone at night as the years have gone on. Even though her flat is heavily alarmed and
windows double locked, she now has worked out that if a burglar was to come in it would be through the back
door. Thus, she closes the door between the kitchen and the dining room barricading it and has placed a cow bell
on the back. Subsequently in her mind she hears the bell ringing on many a night. Fortunately when I am there she
sleeps soundly as her fears are alleviated.
Darkness can cover our lives whether it is through fear of burglars, ghosts, ill health, disability, unemployment,
relationship breakdown, not achieving the right grades or standards, facing death ourselves or that of our loved
ones. But fear happens to us all and it can be a darkness heavier than any night-time’s or a suffering more
burdensome than any sleepless longing. Is it Job who asks, or is it we who ask; ‘Is life on earth a drudgery?’
“I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are appointed to me.
When I lie down I say; ‘When shall I rise?’ But the night is long, and I am full of
tossing until dawn.” (Job7:1-7).
The darkness of life cloaks many a longing and bears many a pain but the maze through is part of every generation.
In the end, it is a question of whether we enter into the darkness; that of our own and that of others. So, please
come and join us for the ‘All Souls Service’ where we remember our loved ones who have died on Sunday 6th
November at 3pm in St Mary’s Church. And then join us for ‘The Remembrance Day Services’ as we remember
those in our communities who gave their lives for our freedom. For it is by entering the darkness that we find
light, by entering the pain that we find wholeness, by doing it we make the world and ourselves new.

E-Lamb Sheep Trail
We are very pleased to announce the return of the E-lamb Sheep Trail this
Christmas. A flock of very individual, small knitted sheep take up residence
in various homes around the village for you to find over Christmas and
New Year – but more about that bit next month.
This month we are looking for hosts. If you live anywhere in the village
and have a window that can be clearly seen from the street and would be willing to host a sheep,
please get in touch. We have about 25 creatures to house, a mixture of lambs, rams, ‘baas’ and ewes.
Please contact Janice on 840907 or [email protected] as soon as possible.
Congratulations to Reg and Heather Hoare who completed the Ride and Stride
around Kent churches last month. They raised over £300, half of which comes back to
St Marys.
