It may seem like a distant memory now we are well into Autumn and Harvest
celebrations but the summer was as always marked by our wonderful local
shows. From the glorious sunshine of some fortunate show grounds through the
„slightly damp‟ to the absolutely soggy the annual round of fruit, vegetables,
wonderful handicrafts and fine animals came around. They each have their own
particular character. Together they form part of the background to our corporate
life together in this rural area.
I have enjoyed these shows since I was a child. I can remember putting in my
felt toys for the „Junior Girl‟s Handicraft‟ and making creatures out of
vegetables. For other people moving into the area the frantic activity around
show time is new. However even to this day I find some of the skills on show a
puzzle. How some people manage to get huge evenly shaped onions out of the
ground is a mystery to me. The patience of some of the ladies who do such fine,
detailed crochet and the enthusiasm of those children and caring adults who
produce such fine drawings and collage and totem poles... it‟s so impressive.
Local shows get us together and give us the chance to step back for a moment
and celebrate what we as a community do well. It gives us a chance to admire
the skill of those who we think we know well but can still surprise us with their
talent. We meet our friends and those with whom we share a friendly (and not so
friendly) rivalry over the best stick of rhubarb. So it is an important part of our
local culture – and even if through work or failing health we cannot get to the
local show one year we want o know it is still going on – we want it to be there.
It is part of our internal map in which we place ourselves in our community.
While this part of our traditions goes on there is a sense of continuity which
gives us hope for the future.
However none of this happens without a great deal of work by the show
organizers behind the scenes. The preparation of the catalogue, encouraging
people to enter, sorting out judges, entertaining them, and filling in risk
assessments, animal health form.... the list of jobs is endless. The Olympics had
their Game Makers – we have our Show Makers and we are grateful to them for
all they do.
Celebration and gratitude is vital for good mental health both individually and
corporately. If we concentrate on the struggle all the time we come to see life as
one constant grind. We need time to relax, laugh, enjoy our achievements as
well as our plans – it helps us to keep things in balance. The chance to say
„thank you‟ as well as „please‟ helps us to remember how fortunate we are.
So as we celebrate our achievements thanks to the „show
makers‟ let‟s also come together as communities at our
Harvest Festivals. Let us give thanks to God for the raw
materials and the gifts and talents he has given to our
communities. Let us conjure up the memories of summer – it
didn‟t rain the whole time – and let‟s celebrate once again in
these shortening days all the good things around us.

Shap Parish Council - A message to all vehicle owners.
There has been a long standing problem with vehicles parking on or
partly on pavements in various parts of the village. This causes a real
problem for pedestrians and in particular those who have prams, buggies,
wheelchairs or mobility scooters. The obstruction sometimes means that
the person using the pavement has to step into the road to get past, and
this puts them at risk from the traffic.
We are advised that a space sufficient for a double buggy or mobility
scooter to pass approx 3 feet, should be left on pavements. We are aware
than many areas of the village have pavements barely that width in total.
Drivers are also advised that when parking on the road they should not do
so in a manner likely to impede the passage of other traffic, and not
directly opposite other parked vehicles. Particular problem areas are:
Woodville Terrace and Sunnyside, and in the area of the Post Office and
Co-op.
The Parish Council would like to politely request that all those who
have to park on the highway do so responsibly and with consideration
for those who use the pavements and other road users.

Mad Dogs and Englishmen Theatre Company present
‘David Copperfield’
Replete with comic, cruel and repugnant characters, Charles Dickens‟
semi-autobiographical novel follows a vulnerable boy on his journey to
manhood. It is a story of the struggle against poverty and obscurity: a story
of loss, of loneliness, and the betrayal of innocence. The show is directed by
Ann Courtney and is performed by a cast of two who capture the hilarity and
pathos of Dickens‟ writing with finesse, depth and ingenious dexterity.
Tickets: Adult: £8.00, Conc. £7, Child £4, Family £19.50 Tel 01931 716273

CALLING ALL RESIDENTS. Shap Parish Council is not currently in a position to provide a street cleaning service.
Until this matter is resolved, it would be helpful if all residents, who are physically able
to do so, keep the frontage of their property swept and litter free. This will be
particularly important in the coming weeks when leaves will start falling from the trees.
If we all do our bit, the village will continue to look well cared for. Thank you.
The VOLUNTARY CAR SCHEME is run by Cumbria County Council and
provides transport for people who need to get to appointments at the doctor,
dentist or hospital (Carlisle or Kendal); it can also be used for shopping or
pleasure. The cost is 35p per mile for the first 12 miles, then at a reduced rate.
The charge is per trip, so if two or three people travel they can share the small
cost. The service is offered during the day time, but the volunteer co-ordinator
would consider evening trips if required. Contact: Elsie Mounsey on 01931
713157. Additional volunteer drivers would also be welcome if you have time
on your hands and a car available, ring and find out more from Mrs Mounsey. .......Why not clip this item out for future reference.
