MUSEUM WILL PAY TRIBUTE TO‘SECRET AIRFIELD’ AND STAFFThe new RAF Defford Museum, due to open at the end of this month, will bea tribute to everyone who served at the wartime station - hidden away inCroome Park.
A former sick quartersbuilding, near theNational Trust visitorcentre and café, hasbeen faithfully restoredto its 1942 appearanceand will house the newmuseum.Fitting out of the inte-
rior is now underway -and when complete thehistory and heritage ofthe ‘secret airfield’ willbe revealed.The museum will tell
the story of the men andwomen of the RAF,Royal Navy and US AirForces, as well as civil-ian scientists, techni-cians and supportingstaff. It will acknowledge
their truly extraordinaryachievements in the sec-ond World War, when
RAF Defford became themain station in Britainfor the development ofairborne radar.The airfield housed
the TelecommunicationsFlying Unit and carriedout pioneering flight tri-als until its closure in1957. The experimentsand developmentsundertaken at Defford
were of great historicsignificance, playing avital part in helping towin the war, and pavingthe way for many elec-tronic applications thatwe now take for grant-ed. Volunteers are need-ed to help to run the newmuseum. For details seedeffordairfieldheritage-group.wordpress.com

Members of the 2ndBattalion Glosters re-enactment group set upcamp inside the CornExchange providing aninsight into the moremodern equipmentavailable to the WW2soldier compared to thatavailable to men fightingin the trenches.
A Town Hall corridorwas transformed into a
1940's replica pub, 'TheWheatsheaf'.
Sunday brought acommemorative par-ade when adult and jun-ior members of localunformed organisationsmarched throughthe town centrewith Tewkesbury TownBand stopping tosalute local dignitariesoutside the Town Hall.
A two minute silencewas observed at TheCross at 11 am the fol-lowing day.
On the eve of Monday4th August Geoff Popeorganised an enjoyablefundraising Pints &Poems event at TheocHouse, the Royal BritishLegion club opened itsdoors to the public, anda candle light vigil tookplace at the Abbey.

Cotteswold’s distributiondepot on the Isle ofAnglesey and will end attheir production site inTewkesbury, going viatheir other depots atConwy, Shropshire,Tenbury Wells and
Cheltenham. The Cotteswold Dairy
cyclists will pedal off onFriday 19th Septemberand aim to arrive inTewkesbury some timeon Sunday 21stSeptember.National Star is an
incredible and inspiringplace that transforms thelives of young peoplewith complex disabili-ties, every minute ofevery day. Alongside other
routes, residential-based

currently used for this isno longer fit for purposeand simply does notmeet the sometimescomplex and varyingneeds of young peoplewith disabilities today.
The college plans toreplace it with newaccommodation that ismore appropriate andup-to-date, on land that
has been generouslygifted to them inPittville, Cheltenham. Cotteswold Dairy aims
to raise £10,000 for thecollege’s project.The team can be

A common predicamentthat a variety of wildanimals find themselvesin involves netting ofsome sort - e.g. sportsnetting, garden nettingor pond protection.Hedgehogs are one of
the most common casu-alties of netting inci-dents, regularly gettingcaught up in garden orfootball nets which cancause terrible injuriesleading to major infec-tions and even amputa-tions on occasions. Grass snakes that like
to frequent gardenponds, hunting for smallfish and frogs to eat, cansurprisingly get entan-gled in the netting thatpeople cover their pondswith, mainly to protecttheir fish from herons. Having to extricate
grass snakes from thissituation is a fairly com-mon call for us and wehave also been called toherons that have notbeen put off by the netcovering and havebecome caught in the netwhile trying to takeadvantage of a fish sup-per.Over the years we
have also seen somenasty injuries caused totawny owls which seento have a knack of get-ting themselves caughtup in football netting.Our latest fox call-out,
although not involvingfootball netting, does
however involve thesport – the call was to afox with a football stuckon its head! This certain-ly was a new one for us!Foxes are very inquis-
itive and they have beenknown to get themselvesinto all sorts of predica-ments because of theirnosiness. We have dealt with
foxes with tin cans ontheir heads, one situa-tion where a fox had puthis head into a hole in atree trunk and thencouldn’t get it out again,but never a footballbefore.The fox was spotted
by a dog walker close toa footpath and we werecalled out see if we couldhelp. Because he couldn’t
see anything with hishead wedged firmlyinside the football, hewas easy to catch, theball was removed andwith no physicalinjuries, probably just abit of embarrassment, hewas set free to go on hisway. How he managed to
get the ball on his headwe just don’t know butthere was probablysomething inside it suchas a mouse or a slugwhich the fox wasattracted to.Visit our website at
www.valewildlife.org.ukto learn more about thework that we do.

It appears thatsome boats had missedthe turning to the Avon,and continued ontowards the weir andlock at Upper Lode onthe way down toGloucester. The Unit isalways pleased to helpAvon Navigation Trustwhenever they can andjobs like this shows theversatility of our boatsand members."

There have been at leasttwo buildings on the siteand it was probably builtabout the same time asthe Abbey in the 12thcentury. The monks caused a
leat, known today as theMill Avon, to be dug tosource waterpower fromthe River Avon nearKing John’s Bridge. After the Dissolution
of the Monastery, themill continued in privatehands, the last millersbeing the Rice familywho left the business in1929. Photograph A, from
Rosemary Wherrett’scollection, was taken
after new sluice gates forbetter flood preventionhad been installed in1935, when the buildingappeared to be in adilapidated state. However, it did subse-
quently thrive as a café,becoming a favouritehaunt for tourists arriv-ing by charabancs in theinter-war years. Then it was marketed
as Abel Fletcher’s Mill,because of its fictitiousconnection with theVictorian melodrama,John Halifax Gentleman,written by Mrs. Craik.Even a recently arrivedresident, such as me,can remember enjoyingmedieval banquets therein the 1980s.Photograph B, from
John Dixon’s collection,shows Abbey Mill in1927.However, since 2003,
(photograph C) it hasbeen converted into lux-urious apartments. What a pity it is that
no obligation wasimposed to maintain theone water wheel, stillevident from Mill Street.Photo D shows thewheel in 1927, which isone of four waterwheelsinstalled in 1793.
It would be a fittingmemorial to the thou-sand-year history of
milling in this part ofTewkesbury.

A good read about the storms thatin 1900 devastated Galveston inTexas. This is the background anddenouement on which the story ofthe three central characters hangs.
Catherine Wainwright from Ohio,a piano teacher with a past; detailsof which are divulged.
Oscar Williams, an old schooltime admirer, recently widowed,dairy farming in Galveston.
Nan Odgen, Oscar's housekeeperand his wife's friend who promisedto look after Oscar's son.
Catherine renews correspondencewith Oscar, who eventually offersmarriage, a route of escape forCatherine to a new life away fromshame and creeping poverty.
Galveston is a cultural and geo-graphical shock - the heat, the dust,the basic lifestyle. A quick mar-riage and failed honeymoon nightfinds the shocked Catherine out onthe farm. Here the story movesfrom Catherine's account to Nan's
and backto her own,intermingling.So we see the relationship betweenthe two women, the jealousy ofNan, the state of shock and bewil-derment by the new bride.
After a rocky start Oscar andCatherine start to build a life togeth-er, and the welcoming party for hisnew wife provides the backgroundfor the impending storm duringwhich both women are forced toface nature's adversities, uncoveringboth strengths and weaknesses.
The book concludes with thestorm, how it effects both Oscar andCatherine, the dairy and for Nan,her life there and that of her familyand the community within andaround Galveston.

Exhibitor numberswere up by nearly athird; last year we had500 cars and a decentline up of wonderfulbikes, but ran out ofspace in the arena byearly afternoon. Thisyear we increased thesize to accommodate700 cars to include thosethat couldn’t get in lastyear – and with greatstaffing, managed topack them in, BUT, bylate lunch, once again,we ran out of space andhad to park around 70
late-comers outside!There were some truly
great entries, including abeautifully restored1904 Peugeot and a veryrare 1904 De DionBouton; a local carowned by Mrs AngelaTrevelyan, wife ofBugatti Owners Clubchairman, CharlesTrevelyan. The signifi-cance of this little singlecylinder 970 cc beauty isthat it has never misseda ‘London to BrightonRun’ in all these years!
The front row of the
Arena was graced withsix Ferraris and a hugeline up of elderly Minis,as well as some morerare and exotic machin-ery, some of whichlooked as though it hadnever left the showroom.American ‘muscle’ wasprovided by a gorgeous1958 Corvette as well assome much prizedCadillac, LincolnChevrolet ‘Land Yachts’,typical of the ‘60’s’. Theline-up of bikes rangedfrom a 100 year oldTriumph; (one of only 8running machines left inthe world that ran in thevery first ‘Pioneer Run’in 1930), to some rareHondas, BSA’s andTriumphs.The exceptionally
good ‘Haywood Sisters’came back again thisyear, by popular requestto entertain us with peri-od classic songs and‘Barrie with his accor-dion’, a long standingstalwart of Rotary, alongwith a Dixieland JazzQuintet, added somevariety to a busy musicalschedule.This year, some really
good hot food was pro-vided by ‘Susie’s outsidecatering, serving freshlyhome-made burgers and
bangers on the Southside of the field andDanters Burger and can-dyfloss on the Northside. Rotary suppliedtea, coffee, sandwiches,bacon rolls and cakesand will do so again nextyear. A very efficient barwas run by theTewkesbury branch of‘The Royal BritishLegion’, a very worthypartner to this Festival.We want them back yearon year, to which they’vekindly agreed.The trade stands and
craft market stalls forthe most part, had adecent day of trading; Iwalked round the arenato ask them about theirday. Just about everyonesaid they wanted tocome back next year, sothat’s what I call a result!Tewkesbury Classic

conditions suffered in
the six years but, despitethe downpours and thecompeting attractions inTewkesbury High Streeton the day, the crowdspoured in during theearly afternoon whenthe event was blessed
with a couple of hours ofbright, warm sunshine.After the slow start
the visitors, includingthe Borough Mayor andhis wife, enjoyed theJudo displays, Zorbs,rifle range, bouncy castleand children’s carousel,the hot dog/burger standand the many colourfuland varied stalls.The refreshments in
the adjacent communitybuilding were also muchappreciated during thewet weather spells and
the stands in the samebuilding also benefittedfrom the increased foot-fall.Takings were
inevitably affected bythe rain, but a profit ofaround £690 was stillmade and much of thiswill go towards plans fora revamped BMX trackon Gould’s Field.Grateful thanks go espe-cially to the willing vol-unteers who laboured ondespite the heavensopening!

When I was a headteacher I often saw thatthe parents were moreanxious than the chil-dren.
As a result I thoughtyou may appreciatesome thoughts on howyou can best prepareyour child and yourselffor this special day.
Give children controlover what they can con-trol.
Offering simple choic-es may help calm nervesand get kids excited. Forexample, if you pick outa new backpack orlunchbox, let your childchoose the colour.
If you shop for schoolsupplies, let your childfind the items in thestore and check them offon your list.
The day before schoolstarts let your childchoose clothes for thefirst day unless, ofcourse there is a laiddown uniform.— butkeep veto power! Youare always the finalarbiter.
Ask your child com-pelling questions.Specific questions willhelp your child imaginewhat school will be likeand help you talk aboutthe fun stuff and thehard stuff. You mightask, "What do you thinkthe hardest part ofschool is going to be?"
"Is there anything thatworries you about start-ing school?"
"What are you reallylooking forward to?"
Describe what willhappen on the first day.
Keep in mind that achild starting school forthe first time or going toa new school may have ahard time imaginingwhat it will be like
Talking about thebasic sequence of theday will help your childmake a mental picture of
what to expect. Kidsform images in theirminds, and reviewingthe process in detail willmake things more famil-iar and less scary on thefirst day of school.
Don’t talk about howmuch you will miss yourchild. Don’t let your ownworries get in the way.
Walk your child intoschool (or put her on theschool bus) and thentalk to other parents ifyou need support. Yourchild has enough toworry about on the firstday without soothingyour anxieties.
Meet the teachertogether and take a lookaround the new class-room for things you
know your child enjoysIf your child gets
upset, acknowledge thefeeling and ask for sug-gestions.
Ask the teacher forhelp. If your child won’tlet you go, turn to theteacher. She probablyhas a lot of experiencewith this.
Make a swift exit.Take your cue from theteacher and from yourchild, but when it’s timeto go, go. A quick exitmay be more useful toyour child than a drawn-out goodbye.
You can often callschool later to check onhow a young child isdoing. Good luck!

Anti- social behaviourcan be any behaviourwhich makes you feelharassed, alarmed ordistressed and can affectanyone including com-munity groups and busi-nesses.
There are manyexamples some of whichare listed here:
• Noise• Rowdy behaviour suchas shouting, swearingand fighting• Intimidation of neigh-bours and othersthrough threats or actualviolence• Harassment, includingracial harassment orsectarian aggression• Verbal abuse• Systematic bullying of
children in public recre-ation grounds, on theway to school or even onschool grounds. (If nor-mal school disciplinaryprocedures do not stopthe problem)• Abusive behaviouraimed at causing dis-tress or fear to certainpeople, for example, eld-erly or disabled people• Driving in an inconsid-erate or careless way, forexample, drivers congre-gating in an area for rac-ing• Dumping rubbish• Animal nuisance,including dog fouling• Vandalism, propertydamage and graffiti.
These crimes andincidents can be a dev-
astating to our commu-nities and individuals.
No one should have tosuffer the consequencesof this type of behaviour.In Tewkesbury theBorough Council , Police,Housing providers andRestorative Gloucester-shire work together toprovide a multi-agencyapproach to the problem.
If you are sufferingfrom any of these issuesthere is help available.There are also severalthings that you can doyourself to assist suchas keep a log of thedates, times and dura-tion of the anti-socialbehaviour this will beuseful if the matter goesto court.
In our communities Ialso believe that we allhave to be reasonableand tolerant of others iffor example your neigh-bours are having a bar-becue and they are play-ing music and it hashappened on one occa-sion during the summerholidays is this propor-tionate?
It may well be that aquiet word is all that isneeded to get the musicturned down.
I hope that this hashelped these issues canoften be resolved satis-factorily by way of medi-ation, however if thematter persists you canask for a review by con-tacting www.restorative-gloucestershire.co.uk orby calling 01452754555.

CENTRE MARKS BROWNIE CENTENARYAND HERITAGE OPEN DAYSTo celebrate national Heritage Open Days and The Big Brownie Birthday, Tewkesbury's Out Of The HatHeritage Centre is to host a brand new exhibition and craft fair.
This year’s open daysare on Friday 12th andSaturday 13th Sept-ember, and the heritagecentre on Church Street -which is run byTewkesbury BoroughCouncil - will offer freeadmission so visitorscan cast their eyes over awhole range of Browniememorabilia.
Many women acrossthe UK have fond memo-ries of their time as aBrownie and the her-itage centre exhibitiontraces a century of histo-ry from the organisa-tion's very beginning in1914 through to thepresent day. The exhibi-tion will have a collec-tion of uniforms,
badges, annuals plusmuch more.
Alongside the exhibi-tion there will also be acraft extravaganza,which will showcaselocally-made products –including jewellery,stained glass, calligraph-ic cards and pictures andmany more gift ideas.
The Heritage OpenDays are a nationalevent to celebrateEngland's architecture
and culture by offeringfree access to places thatare usually closed to thepublic or normallycharge for admission.
Tewkesbury BoroughCouncil's Lead Memberfor Economic Develop-ment and Promotion CllrDave Waters said: "Oneof the best ways to cele-brate Heritage Open
Days is to open upaccess to the range offantastic local talent.
“We are lucky to haveso many talented crafts-people on our doorstep,and I really encouragelocals and visitors aliketo come to our heritagecentre on 12th and 13thSeptember to enjoy thewonderful gifts theyhave created.
“Visitors will also beable to peruse the BigBrownie Birthday exhi-bition at the same time,which will no doubt be awonderful trip downmemory lane for manypeople."
GETTING THERIGHT HAT-ITUDE‘Tewkesbury Red Roses’ is a new branch of anational society aims to bring together womenwant to experience fun and friendship on a morefulfilling level.
The Red Hat Societybegan as a result of a fewwomen deciding to greetmiddle age with verve,humour and élan. The RHSpassion is to promote justthat.
Initially started as a socialorganization for women age50 and over, The Red HatSociety now attracts womenin all age demographics through both the "Red Hat"(those over 50) and the "Pink Hat" designations(those under 50).
The Red Hat Society has become the internation-al society dedicated to reshaping the way womenare viewed in today’s culture.
Research has shown that having fun on a regularbasis promotes a happy life! And, since we are allgrowing older day by day, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together.
Two inaugural meetings of the Tewkesbury RedRoses will be held this month. The first gathering ison Monday 15th September and the second is onSaturday 20th September. Both will be held at TheGeorgian Room, The Royal Hop Pole, Church Street,Tewkesbury from 10am to 12 noon.

READERS WRITE to Tewkesbury Direct
� The Swilgate Weir, 1909 (Derek Round’s Collection)
Dear Tewkesbury Direct,
“I read that there is a planto remove the weir fromthe River Swilgate
“It’s not the weir - it’sthe road bridge under theGloucester Road wherethe problem lie: the arch-way is too small to takethe flow of the waterwhen we have a flood.
“It would appear thatanother part ofTewkesbury’s history isabout to be destroyed.
“The first bridge acrossthe Swilgate was built in1791 at the bottom ofGanders Lane. Some timeafter this the originalwooden weir was takendown and a new stoneone was constructed.
“One reason for theweir being built was tokeep the river level highto prevent the unpleasantstink from raw sewageand swill at low water”
Yours sincerely,Derek Round,Tewkesbury.
