During the Interregnum (which is while we don’t have a vicar),
please make contact with the appropriate person below:
Unfortunately at present the Church must be kept locked but arrangements
for access can readily be made by contacting one of the Church Wardens:
HONORARY ORGANIST & CHOIRMASTER We have a vacancy for an organist and/or a choirmaster at
All Saint’s Church, Wouldham on 3 Sundays a month. The
small choir rehearses weekly on Thursday evening.
If you are interested, contact Heather Lloyd: 01634 863345
TREASURER VACANCY
Our present PCC (Parochial Church Council) Honorary Treasurer has moved
outside the Parish, so there is now a vacancy for the position. Previous
experience is desirable but not essential. This will involve keeping financial
records and attending PCC meetings every two months. The present
Treasurer is happy to help with a gradual handover if required.
Please contact Mrs. Janet Parris, Tel. 01795-555615

Dear Friends, Each month I am amazed at all the activities that are going on in the
villages—always plenty of opportunities to meet up with new people or old
friends. There’s a particularly lively ‘Thursday Community Club’ that meets
at the Old School in Burham. Here they get up to all sorts of exciting things!
Also here there’s a visit on the 3rd Thursday by the ‘Hi Kent Hearing Aid
Clinic’. This is a charity which offers a very special free service: -
‘Hi Kent, the charity that works with deaf and hard of hearing people
throughout Kent, has a clinic at the Old School Burham on the third
Thursday of each month (not August) from 10.30 – 11.30 am.
People with NHS hearing aids can drop in and get their hearing aids
cleaned and re-tubed and collect fresh batteries free of charge. There will
also be free advice and information about Hi Kent’s wide range of
equipment including telephones and television listening devices. These items
can make a huge difference to someone with a hearing loss. Everyone
welcome, no appointment necessary.’
The next clinic will be on Thursday, 21st June.
Just a few of the other events: Go and spoil yourself at the Pamper Evening.
There is a special 1950’s Jubilee Tea at Wouldham Church and a ‘Fayre’ for
all the family to enjoy at Wouldham School. Again the Skate Board experts
will be giving free BMX coaching if you turn up to the Skate Ramp. Also, if
you have small children, take a look at what is going on at the new
Children’s Centre. A new Baby Clinic/Baby Time is starting up and is
advertised here. If you’re de-cluttering or raising money for charity, take a
stall at the new Boot Sale which is running every Sunday in Aylesford.
I have been asked to bring to people’s attention an important survey that is
being delivered to each house. It is a Survey on the 155 Bus Service where
there have been recent cuts that have badly affected people. Please complete
the survey even if you don’t use the bus in the villages and try to appreciate
how important the bus is to different people and at different times in their
lives. (page 17)
Also there is advance notice of a closure of Rochester Road in July for 2
weeks which will cause a lot of local inconvenience. (page 17)
(Information on road works is correct at the time of going to print. I am
aware that some road works/closures have not occurred on the dates stated.
You can always check road works: http://roadworks.org/
or ring Kent County Council Highways: 08458 247800)

Praise Bus The Olympic Torch has have already left Lands End in Cornwall to start its journey throughout the United Kingdom finishing in London at the start of the Games at the end of July. A member of a small Methodist Church just a mile from Lands End has been inspired to arrange for a bus to precede this procession. Musicians along the route will be contributing to the singing of hymns and songs assisted by others who will stay on the bus for the whole of its journey. The aim of this amazing project is to give fun and encouragement, letting every man, woman and child know that God loves them. The Olympic Torch spends the night of July 19th in Maidstone, so if you are there, look out for this brightly coloured bus and be inspired by the vision it represents.

BURHAM PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
Speed Indicator devices: Whilst it was hoped that these would be
installed by now, things have obviously been delayed. The posts and the
signs have certainly been ordered by KHS and we are just awaiting an
installation date for the posts. Hopefully, it won’t be too long now.
Scout Hut: The previous covenant
has finally been lifted on the scout
hut. The building can now be used
for any community use. So if you
are interested in hiring a small
hall, just give me a call.
Website: Burhamvillage.org. Don’t
forget the new website is up and
running. Most local events are listed
together with other relevant
information including Parish Council
minutes, agendas and also the
“Welcome Booklet”. If you have an
event that you would like listed,
follow the link on the website and
your event will be listed. Improvements to the overflow car
park/recycling area have hopefully
been carried out. Work was due to
commence in June sometime for
hard standing of the recycling banks,
so if its not happened, it’s certainly
won’t be long. Our thanks to TMBC
who supported this financially. .
The next training session at the skate
ramp, with Rubicon is on Saturday
16th June 2012, from 9.00 until
4.00pm. This session will be directed
at BMX riders. There’s no need to
book, just turn up.
To support Armed Forces Day and other special events, we are hoping
to erect a flag pole (and of course a flag) in the war memorial gardens.
This is not only to support our Armed Forces, to celebrate all the good
work that they carry out but also to “Fly the Flag” in Burham for
distinctive events.
If you have any items that you would like the Parish Council to discuss,
just give me a call on 01622 609324, e-mail me on
[email protected] or come along to the monthly meetings,
normally held the last Monday of the month. The next meeting is
scheduled for Monday 25th June, 7.30 pm, in the Scout Hut, Village Hall
Site, Rochester Road, Burham. Pam Saunders - Clerk

WOULDHAM PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
Councillors Keith Malkinson and Richard Stone have been elected again as
the Chairman and Vice-Chairman for Wouldham Parish Council for 2012-
13 at May’s AGM meeting. We look forward to both Councillors carrying
on with the projects started last year. Please see the
website for the Chairman’s report for 2011-12
Our Borough Councillors are working with Arriva and
KCC to try to make the 155 Bus a viable service in
the village. A survey will be delivered to all residents
shortly. Please make sure you complete this survey
to help retain this vital rural bus service.
We have a lovely recreation ground in Wouldham,
with good play equipment, but it is a shame about the
dog poo! We are still getting complaints, so please,
can the offenders please clear up after their dogs. It
helps to keep a pleasant environment for everyone to
live in. On the positive side, there were not any crimes
reported to the Police for Wouldham during April.
Proposed New Village Hall
Thank you to all residents who took part in the survey. See the results on
the Parish Council website shortly. The Parish Council has been awarded
£2000 from Tonbridge & Malling’s Community Enhancement Fund for
architect fees for this project. Thank you to Borough Councillor Roger
Dalton for supporting our application on this.
The Parish Council meeting is early on 29th May 2012 in the Village Hall.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

Goodbye to one of Burham’s most active supporters.
In Memory of Bernard Hinchey.
We lost Bernard Hinchey in April this year. A very sad time for us all, and, a
great loss to Burham.
For those of you who did not know Bernard, and for those who did, please
read this appreciation of his long time contribution to this village. Bernard
moved into Burham in the Sixties. He almost immediately formed an
allegiance with like minded people of the village, who were committed to the
pursuit of entertainment, and the continuation of the social life of our
community.
Bernard was, for some time, chairman of the village hall management
committee, and heavily involved with gala day committees. During this time
he, with his committee members, organised fund raising for all of our events,
including some of our most amazing Gala days. He, with others, raised the
funds for the children’s street party at the time of the Queens silver jubilee,
which at the last minute had to be moved to a farmer’s barn because of the
bad weather. In spite of all, he always came through.
Then there was the year that the Red Arrows performed above our recreation
ground. This I remember was a most amazing day; with thousands of people
on our rec. Bernard was at the crux of the organisation and fund raising for
this event.
Then, when the Tour De France came through Burham, he was there again, in
the forefront of this most amazingly well organised day. By this time he was
well into his 70’s.
Through his love of fairground organs, he not only owned, and displayed
one, but he also amassed a fraternity of like minded enthusiasts, most of
whom at some time over the years, performed at our events.
Even in his last years, he enthusiastically involved others among us to put on
two further fun days, both of which were unequalled successes, all of which
he orchestrated.
He gave his all to Burham, and asked nothing in return. Such enthusiasm
from an unassuming, hardworking individual will be sorely missed by the
people who knew him, and also by those that did not, for there is currently
nobody to take his place.
On behalf of all that will miss him.
With thanks, and great respect.
Mick Cable.

The 155 bus service through Burham and Wouldham has been reduced and

service or just care about facilities in Burham and Wouldham, your
thoughts on the bus service are vital to its future.
Please complete and return the survey.

Got a Tax Return? Why wait?
The advantages of doing your tax return early could include: lots of time to save for any payment due; an accurate (and possibly reduced) July payment on account; an early repayment, if one’s due; more accurate tax coding; no risk of penalties; and most importantly just one less thing to worry about! Not sure where to start or just can’t face working your way through the jargon and
boxes on the form/on line? Better things to do with your time? We can take the hassle
out of tax compliance (and may even be able to save you some tax). Come and have
a chat soon... Then you can relax!
Don’t
