Dear Friends,
On Monday 3rd September at
7-30pm another chapter in our
Parish life begins. The ceremony of
Licensing and Installation of our
new Parish Priest, Mike Hayes
will take place.
This is an important occasion in
The Church of England which for
centuries have been part of the
structure of government in this
country. The service involves The
Bishop, Archdeacon and Rural
Dean. Our Member of Parliament,
Mayor, Borough and Parish
councillors and members of clergy from the Diocese and Deanery
will also be invited.
Members of the congregation also have a part to play in
accepting and welcoming Mike as our Parish Priest.
The number of invited guests and participants means that many of
the seats in All Saints Church will be occupied, however anyone
wishing to attend from the parish will be warmly welcomed and
every endeavour will be made to find seating.
Similarly, parking may be difficult close to the church so
alternative arrangements will need to be made by those attending.
Following the service a reception will be held in the hall at
Wouldham Primary School where there will be the opportunity to
meet with Mike Hayes.
There will of course be opportunities to meet Mike at all the
services at All Saints and at Messy Church in Burham in the
weeks to come as well as seeing him around the villages getting to
know us all.
Gwen Worcester, Church Warden

Oh yes there is!
On Thursday 20th September there will be no charge for Country Lunch. So if you are a regular user, come infrequently or never been before, do come along
for a free lunch. We shall be serving the usual menu of homemade soup, cheese
and crusty bread, fruit crumbles (or bananas) and ice cream, followed by tea or
coffee. How is this possible? Country Lunch (along with Afternoon Tea) is not a
fund raising activity for the Methodist Church in Burham. We always cover costs
with a little bit left over and this has built up over the year so that we are able to
offer a free lunch to everybody!

DONATE A PEW CUSHION AT ALL SAINTS, WOULDHAM
With our pew cushion project underway, it is
clear that we must maintain a balance between
the willing workers who are dedicating their time
and skill to working the cushion and the money
available to finance the project.
The evidence of our success in achieving the balance will show itself in
our church being furnished with beautiful new cushions in the coming
months. There will be many of you who, while unable to work the cush-
ions yourselves, will wish to be associated with the project by purchas-
ing or donating towards a cushion as a token of your involvement, and
perhaps as a memorial to a family member or friend.
You can do this by completing the details below and giving it to one of
our churchwardens with your donation. The finished cushion will carry
a permanent label recording the name of the donor (or to whom it is
dedicated), together with the name of the person by whom the cushion
was worked.

155 Evening bus timetable: The 3 parishes (Wouldham, Burham and
Aylesford) have joint funded to a tune of £5000 towards a proposed 6 month
trial period to have the evening 155 bus service reinstated. A petition was
handed over to KCC during July. It is essential that the bus service is well
used in the trial period. It only takes on average 6 people on every bus to
ensure its future. We will keep you posted on this.
War memorial gardens: The Parish Council appreciate that during certain
periods earlier in the year, this area was not at it’s best. This was due to the
very poor/wet weather which we were experiencing and our landscaping
contractors schedule was delayed. We will be looking at the war memorial
gardens for next year’s project 2012/2013, so please let me know if you have
any ideas.
Speed Indicator Devices (SID’s): We have kept reporting that these are due
to be installed shortly. After chasing KHS several times during July, we
understand that the work should be carried out by mid August, so hopefully
by the time this edition is published, the SID’s should be installed.
Skate ramp Phase B: Although we have not given up yet, we are struggling
to secure all the funds for this project. So far just under half the funds have
been secured, but there is a deadline on this secured funding. If any local
users or residents have ideas regarding funds, please let the Parish Council
know.
Flag pole: We are pleased and proud that we now have a flagpole in the
Memorial Gardens and would like to give the Burham residents an
opportunity to request the flag being flown at half mast for a member of their
immediate family who passes away. The flag would be flown for one day
only on the day of their funeral. Any request to the Parish Council will be
accepted in writing only.
Just a reminder, the junior football pitch at the top of the recreation ground
should only be used by children aged 11 years and under. There has been an
incident lately when teenagers were using the pitch and someone at the
skate ramp was hit by a football. Please be considerate when using the all
facilities.
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 24 September 2012,
7.30 pm in the Scout Hut, Village Hall Site, Rochester Road, Burham. Pam Saunders - Clerk

Asbestos Related Lung Cancer
You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were a smoker
Lung cancer is most commonly associated with smoking. However it can also be
caused by breathing in asbestos dust and is a common complication of asbestosis.
Because a high percentage of lung cancers are attributed to smoking, the possibility that
exposure to asbestos has contributed is often not explored. This also means that many
miss out on claiming Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit or claiming compensation
for lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure.
Medical opinion is divided on whether lung cancer can be caused by exposure to
asbestos in the absence of asbestosis, although the majority view is that it can be. In any
event, changes to the benefit system now recognise that you no longer have to have
asbestosis to claim benefits for lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure. In those
instances you have to provide evidence of substantial occupational asbestos exposure
which is set out in the terms of prescription in the Appendix of Prescribed Diseases (for
eligibility to Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit). You may also be able to obtain
compensation from any employers (or their insurers) who caused the asbestos exposure.
Whilst exposure to either asbestos or smoking can cause lung cancer, the combination
of both together significantly increases the chances of developing lung cancer. A study
in America found that a heavy smoker, smoking one pack a day for 20 years has a ten
fold increased risk of developing lung cancer over a non-smoker. A non-smoker
exposed to asbestos has a five fold increased risk over a non-smoker not exposed to
asbestos. Notably, a heavy smoker who has also been exposed to asbestos has a 50 to 90
fold increased risk of developing lung cancer over a non-smoker who is not exposed to
asbestos.
As this data shows, exposure to asbestos can be a major contributing factor in the
development of lung cancer even for those who smoke.
Evidence of fibrosis of the lungs, very heavy exposure to asbestos for one year, or
five – ten years moderate exposure should be sufficient to establish that the exposure
has materially contributed to the risk of developing lung cancer. A further requirement
is that at least ten years must have passed between such exposure and the development
of the condition. Therefore if you have been exposed to asbestos and developed lung
cancer you may be entitled to claim compensation for lung cancer caused by your
asbestos exposure even if you have smoked. You may also be entitled to state benefits.
Current case law indicates there may be a reduction in your compensation to reflect the
extent to which smoking on its own may have contributed to the risk.
If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease (asbestosis, mesothelioma,
pleural thickening or asbestos lung cancer) as a result of harmful exposure to asbestos,
you may be able to claim compensation. We offer free consultation, no charge for our
time pursuing a claim win or lose and a guarantee that you will keep 100% of your
compensation. For an informal, no obligation discussion on whether or not you may
have a claim please contact Jeremy Horton (Partner and head of Personal Injury at
Brachers) on 01622 680415 or email [email protected]. For more details,
including case studies of how Brachers has assisted clients with asbestos related disease
claims, please visit www.brachers.co.uk.

WENDY'S 20/2012 CHALLENGE
Thursday, Sept 6th 2012, in aid of Spinal Research
On this day I aim:-
To ride 20 horses for 20 minutes each inside
12 hours and to raise £2012! Many Burham residents will be aware that I had a bad fall off my big horse
Kinza last October, fracturing my neck and re-arranging some of my face!
Now I'm back in the saddle and feeling lucky to be fit & well again I am
trying to raise funds for one of my favourite charities - Spinal Research, who
fund a number of research projects aiming to find ways of treating spinal
injuries, whether they happen to sports people, drivers or motor cyclists.
You'll see me out getting fit in the next few weeks - but it's going to be
tough. I did the same challenge 3 years ago before all these injuries, and had
wobbly aching legs at the end...
Please support me - I'll be out and about with my sponsor form, or you can
give online at www.justgiving.com/Wendy-Neath
And please come and say hello, or give me a thumbs up as you see me riding
through the village that day!

WOULDHAM PARISH COUNCIL
We hope that you are enjoying your summer and taking advantage of any sunny days by
getting out and exploring some of the beautiful Kent countryside. For those of you that have
dogs, there is still an issue in the Village with dog owners not picking up after their dogs in
public places. The local Dog Warden has noted that the Recreation Ground in particular
seems to be a problem area. You may have recently seen a media campaign which was
based around a case study on a toddler, who hit news headlines after falling in dog poop and
losing partial sight in one of her eyes after suffering with
toxocariasis. Our Recreation ground is well used by parents
with young children, and it would be devastating to think that
something like that might happen to one of our local families.
There is no such thing as a Dog Pooh Fairy, so please, pick up
after your dogs! And if you know anyone who is not doing so,
please contact the Parish Council.
Village Hall Update: The Village Hall Management
Committee was extremely pleased with the large number of
responses to the Village Hall residents’ survey. Thank you for
taking part! We are currently
analysing the survey and making
sure that the design of the Hall
reflects what you say it should be
used for as well as the needs of
local groups that hope to be using
it.
On 15 November 2012, for the
first time ever, the Kent public will
elect a Police and Crime Commis-
sioner (PCC) who will be account-
able for how crime is tackled in
Kent. The PCC role will replace the
current Kent Police Authority and
will involve working with the
public, the police and local partners
to ensure effective policing and that
public priorities are acted upon.
You can find out more about this on Kent Police’s website or
at one of the summer road shows being held throughout Kent.
Crime Report: Between Saturday 23rd of June at 10:00 and Tuesday 26th of June at 11:30,
a gravestone in the church off the High Street was smashed and other items on the grave
damaged.

Doing Your Tax Return The Easy Way...
With Summer Hols and the Olympics fading into memory maybe you are now thinking about your Tax Return... You have less than 2 months left to file it by post, or you could, of course, file on-line via HMRC’s website. That’ll
give you longer, but you still have the same hassle of wading through the jargon to see what boxes to fill in and the worry about getting it wrong. Or you could go for the easy 3rd option... leave it to the Professionals and save yourself the time and doubt. You don’t have to run a business to use an accountant - come and have a chat!
