THE PARISHES OF THE PURBECK HILLS
LEttEr FrOm thE rEctOry
June 2016
I am sure we all know what the ripple effect is. When a stone is dropped into water
concentric circles will ripple out from the place of entry, and although the stone has disappeared the effects of it being lobbed into the water can still be seen.
Our words and actions work in a very similar way, both good and bad. Whatever we toss into the family, friend or community mix will have consequences that will reach out and continue to have an effect well after the words have been said or the actions performed. This means that each of us has a responsibility for the things we do and say. Our lives are intertwined with those around us, and our words and actions can have a direct and far reaching impact on the community in which we live.
Recently the Archbishops of Canterbury and York sent a letter to all the Anglican clergy in the country encouraging them to par-ticipate in a week of prayer for our communities. This took place in the week beginning 8 May, and the members of the churches in our Benefice entered in to this wholeheartedly. We had 24 hours of continuous prayer where every street, business and organisa-tion in the villages of Langton Matravers, Worth Matravers, Kingston, Harmans Cross and Knitson were prayed for. We asked for blessing, prosperity and for good things to happen in our com-munities. Our hope is that the ripple effect from this will be far reaching. We will continue to pray for all in the Benefice, but if you have specific needs you would like the churches to pray for please let Katie in the Benefice office know. (Contact details can be found on this page.)
Jesus, before his ascension, commissioned his disciples saying “you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts1:8b) The disciples didn’t im-mediately go to the ends of the earth, the centre of their ripple effect was Jerusalem, then the surrounding areas, then, eventu-ally, the Christian Faith went global. From one man and a few dedicated followers, we have a religion of an estimated 2.2 billion people. That is a big ripple effect! As with all things, human be-ings have a choice of how they behave, and there have been some terrible things done in the name of ‘religion’. But, for those who have a relationship with Jesus, and who choose to live up to the responsibilities that relationship imposes upon them, the hope is that the ripples of faith will have a far reaching and positive, albeit sometimes challenging, effect on all.
We live in a world where it seems to be the norm to speak and act without thinking of the consequences. Social media means that the ripples spread very quickly, and as it is a faceless way of communicating it is easy for negative statements to be made without accountability, and for things to be misunderstood or in-correctly interpreted. I am sure that a greater appreciation of the ripples of responsibility we all have in our communications would lead to a much happier and more positive society.

ChAPMAN’S PooL BEACh CLEAN
Most English Channel flotsam and jetsam gets cast ashore in South-West-facing coves. Chapman’s Pool
is right up there with Chesil as by far the best, or worst, lo-cation in Dorset, depending on how you look at it. Since the advent of container-ships, the amount of useful timber washing ashore has reduced, but plastic, in many forms, goes on arriving in quantity. Given that the centre of some of the mid-ocean gyres consists of a mass of floating plastic the size of Belgium, there are lots of bags, bottles etc. yet to come ashore, even if people stopped using the sea as a rubbish tip right now. That’s not very likely, any more than people are going to stop throwing rubbish out of car windows. Why is there such a lack of political will to punish offenders?
A recent visitor to Chapman’s Pool commented: “If this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I don’t want to see the rubbish dump.”
Congratulations, therefore, to the volunteers, particu-larly Charlie Newman and his confederates, who had a go at a clean-up on 23 April. They lugged tons of the stuff up the landslip to an awaiting trailer and took other loads, by boat, to Kimmeridge. Thanks, also, to little Libby and Elizabeth and their granny, who thought they were going to the beach to play!
It’s hard to see much to be cheerful about regarding the environment, but the natural world still produces its won-ders. Rumour has it that a piece of ambergris recently washed up - rare indeed. Similarly rare, the dying turtle, which came ashore during the winter gales, was probably from Bermuda - quite a swim for an air-breathing reptile, but they’ve had time to practise! A fossil specimen has been found recently in a Purbeck quarry in rocks which are about 150 million years old. Wallacker
NATIoNAL TRUST
(Right to left) Volunteers Tony, David & Bernard & the new hide.
A new hide at Studland has been specially designed to bring children closer to nature.
The new ‘Alfresco Arch Hide’ at the Knoll Beach Discov-ery Centre, built by our brilliant volunteers, Bernard, David and Tony, provides a sheltered hideaway for children to en-counter a variety of birds and animals in a quiet corner of the wood.
Its open design means that the children can feel close to nature rather than be boxed-in and isolated from the action in a conventional bird hide.
Over the coming months, we will manage the surround-ing area to attract birds by providing feeders and nest boxes,
extend a boggy patch for pond life and create a bank for reptiles to sun themselves. You can find the hide behind the Discovery Centre at Knoll Beach.
We believe it is important that children have opportu-nities to experience the natural world from an early age so that they grow up at ease in the outdoors and with a love of nature.
Our Natural Childhood report, published in 2012, high-lighted the dangers of a generation becoming increasingly disconnected from the world around them.
These include obesity brought about by a sedentary life-style, the emotional effects of what the report called ‘nature deficiency disorder’ and risks to the wider environment to-morrow if children turn their backs on it today.
Since the report’s publication, we’ve been doing our bit to reverse the trend with activities designed to encourage children back into the outdoors, including our successful 50 Things To Do Before You’re 11 and Three Quarters pro-gramme.
We’re planning to spend more than £2.2 million in Pur-beck this year on work including improvements to our ten-ants’ homes, conservation and the outdoors, and scheduled repairs to Corfe Castle.
We are able to do this because last year in Purbeck we made £1.06 million in operating contribution – our annual ‘profit’. The remaining expenditure will be funded from our reserves.
As the National Trust is a charity, all the money we make is reinvested in our wider work with the core purpose of looking after special places for everyone to enjoy.
That includes cash from our catering businesses and shops, admission prices at Corfe Castle, car parking and rental income as well as the subscriptions paid by our mem-bers.
This year in Purbeck we’ve allocated more than £548,000 to work on our rental properties as part of a commitment to tackle a backlog in planned improvements.
Conserving the Purbeck countryside accounts for £185,000 of planned expenditure, and an additional £50,000 will go on a rolling programme of maintenance at Corfe Castle.
Some £40,000 will be spent on restoring the dry stone walls which are an integral part of the south Purbeck land-scape.
We’re also funding a sports development officer to help people enjoy being active in the outdoors and a coastal en-gagement officer to carry on the work begun by the Living with a Changing Coast initiative.
The remaining expenditure breaks down into a wide range of categories from car park maintenance to new sig-nage. Jon Bish

NINEBARRoW IN STUDLAND
After their explosion onto the national folk scene, Dor-set-based folk duo Ninebarrow will be returning to their
Purbeck roots, performing at St Nicholas’ Church in Stud-land on the evening of Saturday, 18 June at 7.30pm. Boasting superb acoustics, the 12th century church promises to create the perfect atmosphere for a magical, midsummer concert.
The duo’s last church outing in the Isle of Purbeck was an autumn concert at St James’ Church in Kingston. Eight months on, and with tickets already selling fast, it looks as though it will be another Ninebarrow sell-out. “We’re so looking forward to it,” said Jon. “It’s such a special place to sing. These types of building are just made for sound and if the audience join in, it’s like having your own choir!”
•••

The duo have decided to record the evening for inclu-sion on a future live album, pencilled for release next spring. Tickets are £10 and are available from www.ninebarrow.co.uk or Studland Village Stores.

CoRFE CASTLE VILLAGE hALL
Corfe Castle Village Hall lies at the centre of the famous chocolate box village BUT it needs updating to ensure
it remains the community hub for future generations. To this end, the Trustees of the hall have embarked upon plans to extend and refurbish the hall to bring it into the 21st Cen-tury. Planning permission has been granted and all that is needed now is the finance to carry out this vision.
To launch the fund raising efforts ‘An Evening of Enter-tainment by Ball & Socket’ has been arranged for Saturday, 25 June at 7.30pm. Tickets are just £10 a head and are avail-able from any Trustee, Corfe Castle Village Stores or Peter on 01929 480109. The price includes free snacks and there will be a bar and raffle.
If you have never seen the Ball & Socket act before well, what can I say, but they are also known as David Kemp and Gerald Ward and have been entertaining erudite audiences for nearly 30 years in many locations across Britain from Cornwall to Teesside, from Wales to Norfolk and always to packed houses – so get your tickets now.

10 The Dubber
They have been described (amongst other things) as a Flanders and Swann Tribute Band; it is comprised of two chaps who sing with a keyboard or two, performing some well-known and some less well-known songs by Flanders and Swann as well as songs from a variety of other sources. The audience can look forward to a programme that offers a varied and humorous evening with attempts at local and topical relevance, updating words as appropriate, including some opportunities to join in.
Both performers have a lifetime’s involvement in a wide variety of singing and music-making in various groups and choirs. Their act started in Abergavenny when the two per-formers met through the medium of a local amateur op-eratic society and a choir. One took the part of ‘the young tenor’, despite being a bass, whilst the other accompanied or conducted. One learned to play the piano with two left hands whilst the other was a serious oboe player at one time but has mercifully consigned that talent to history. It was not long before the intrepid heroes discovered their common interest in songs of a comic nature and began performing together to support fund-raising events. Peter Smith
ThE PRIDDLE
Sun, at last, has seen much activity on the allotments, planting seed potatoes, broad beans and now warm
enough for sowing carrot, peas, parsnips etc. We all look forward to a productive season on our plots.
We will be having a produce table at the Village Fair on 18 June, so if any gardeners out there have any plants, veg-etables, preserves etc they would like to donate, they will be gratefully received. Items can be left with me at 36 High Street or Sue Spilling’s in Garfield Lane. We hope to see loads of people on 18 June for info phone 421864. Pat Wright
LANGToN ARThoUSE CINEMA
On 1 June, we’re showing London Road reviewed in last month’s Dubber. We’re screening Phoenix (in German
with English subtitles) on Wednesday, 6 July at 7.30pm in Langton Matravers’ Village Hall. Last year we showed this director’s outstanding Barbara, a woman surviving in the secret police dominated East Germany. Director Petzold is reunited here with Barbara’s star Nina Hoss in an intriguing post-war drama.
This is a film all about disguises, reinventions and decep-tive appearances. It begins in mid-1940s Germany. A vehi-cle is halted at night by US soldiers. A figure is whimpering in the passenger seat, her face concealed by blood-soaked bandages. This is Nelly (Nina Hoss), a disfigured concentra-tion camp survivor en route to a surgeon in Berlin. Recon-structing her original face now is out of the question. When Nelly later tracks down her husband he fails to recognise her. He does, though, notice that she bears a passing resemblance to his wife, whom he believes is dead.
That gives him an idea: if she were to pose as Nelly, they could split the his late wife’s fortune. Rather than reveal herself, Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise as she tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been the one who betrayed her to the Nazis. Evoking the shadows and haunted mood of post-war Berlin, Phoe-nix weaves a complex tale of a nation’s tragedy and a wom-an’s search for answers as it builds towards an unforgettable,
heart-stopping climax. Tickets £5 on the door, which will open at 7pm. Glasses
will be supplied should you wish to bring your own drink with you. If you want to be kept informed about future films you can add your name to the mailing list by emailing [email protected] or visit www.LangtonArt-houseCinema.co.uk. Chris Kwantes

kINGSToN FÊTE This year we are holding our Fête on 13 August. It will be
in the grounds of Kingston Church – not the most ideal spot in some ways – but perfect in others. It is, after all, a church fête and visitors will have access to the bell tower, be able to listen to the wonderful organ and, in the unlikely event of bad weather (!), there is shelter inside the church.
Most readers of The Dubber know there was no fête last year due to various reasons – ill health etc, etc – so we are hoping to make 2016 a success to encourage us to carry on with this traditional event. Kingston village has lost a lot of its actual residents over the past few years but there are quite a few people who have very kind volunteering for ‘stuff ’ so we are hoping we can actually rustle up enough people to help.
So – all of this preamble is actually an early request for anyone who could help set-up before the event, run a village stall, help with a game, donate the usual fête-type things etc etc to get in touch with either Peter or me so we have a rough idea what sort of support, if any, we might expect. Also any-one wanting to have their own stall - anything that would fit in with a traditional village fête – should get in touch; there will be a small charge payable in advance to secure a spot. We would also welcome any bright ideas for something new to do on the afternoon - bearing in mind it is a church fête - memories of my ill-advised booking of a team of belly-danc-ers springs to mind.
As I am sure you will immediately forget the date and the requests there will be another reminder in the July Dub-ber as well. I know it’s a bit of a pain giving up a Saturday in August to help at something prone to be a rather damp and soggy affair but it is only ONE day... well one afternoon to be precise and we would be eternally grateful for your support. Please contact either Peter Buckle (480212) or Susan Ireland (481372) or [email protected]. Susan Ireland
kINGSToN NEWSFAThER’S DAy CREAM TEAS
This month, we have the first Music afternoon with Cream Teas on Sunday, 19 June. Why not treat Dad to
a lovely afternoon in the Purbeck Hills? We can offer spec-tacular views from the Tower, homemade cakes or a cream tea on the lawns, or listening to relaxing organ music. There may also be a fresh display about the church architecture and stained glass windows. Don’t miss it come between 2pm and 4.30pm.
FLoWERS, CRAFTS, MUSIC FESTIVALThank you to those who have already offered to demon-
strate their skills at the Flowers, Craft and Music event which takes place on 16 & 17 September. The theme ‘Celebrating Life and Achievements’ enables us to offer a wide display of flower displays. There will also be some exciting ones based on the Brazil Paralympics which will be taking place around that time. Please contact Doreen Farr or Judy Forgan, if you would like to participate in any way, or promote your local cause through a floral display (480837 or [email protected]; 481629 or [email protected]). This is an economical way to advertise your group or business across the Purbeck Community. It can also can be for any age – from children’s groups to charities, or even a some flowers to celebrate the life of someone dear to you. There will hopefully be an additional evening event as a preview evening – with the Military Wives Choir from RAC Boving-ton, followed by light refreshments and a chance to social-ise and enjoy the wonderful acoustics at St James’ Church, while appreciating the local crafts and flowers. On the Sun-day afternoon, another local choir, Harmony Rocks will be performing as the Festival draws to a close.
kINGSToN CoUNTRy CoURTyARD FAIRNow in its third year, the Fair, in aid of Air Ambulance,

WoRTh AFTERNooN CLUB
Our members turned out on a day enshrouded in coastal fog for an entertaining presentation about Purbeck Ice
Cream by Directors Hazel and Peter Hartle. A former nurse and fireman, they were forced to rethink their life in dairy farming with three very young boys when EU milk quotas were introduced 28 years ago. With a mutual passion for eating ice cream it seemed logical to go into production and they have never looked back, delighting fans with old favourites such as Honeycombe Hash and Vanilla Bean as well as new flavours Dorset Marmalade and Beetroot Sorbet. Purbeck Ice Cream is enjoyed on P&O cruise ships, interna-tional air lines and the Houses of Parliament but nowhere more so than in Worth village hall where we sampled their Clotted Cream with a cuppa.
Our Summer Outing is to Bennetts Water Garden on 8 June. We then have a two-month break and resume on 14 September with our Bring-and-buy and presentation by Lin-da Bullock, a former National Trust Conservator. Please call Ali on 439442 for any further information. Ali Arnold

MAy MEETING
Cllr Burden (Chairman), Cllrs, I Bugler, M Shanks and C Vosper, R Woolford, R Field, DCC/PDC Cllr M Lovell
Apologies were received from Cllr R Sandham PUBLIC DISCUSSIoN
A resident raised concerns about the recent approval on the casting vote of the Chairman of the PDC Planning Committee of the Abbascombe Affordable Housing Scheme in Worth Matravers village. She asked what further action could be taken by anyone objecting to the PDC Committee decision. She was advised that if residents considered that Maladministration had taken place they could complain direct to the Local Government Ombudsman and ask for an investigation. This would have no direct financial cost. Residents could also seek a judicial review of, amongst other matters, the Planning process, reporting by PDC officers, decision making by elected PDC Councillors, and the rea-sonableness of the outcome. That may, dependent on the ju-dicial decision, be costly and had to be initiated within the set down timetable.
CoRRESPoNDENCE The Clerk and Cllrs updated Action Point items with fur-
ther and more recent information. The tonnes of waste col-lected from volunteer beach litter cleans at Chapmans Pool had now been removed. The PC formally thanked Charlie Newman for voluntarily removing this long standing debris from the beach. The PC hoped any future litter deposited and collected on this beach would be included for removal by DWP in the future programme of comprehensive Dorset beach litter cleans.
The PC confirmed that they would fund the cabinet at any proposed defibrillator site at either village hall and was prepared through direct purchase to cover the VAT element of the whole installation - subject to regulations.
The PC noted the negative response of the Government to the online government petition supported by the National Association of Local Councils to seek appeal rights for Par-ish Councils against planning application approval decisions by a District Council. The government did not consider the
planning system would benefit from the grant of a commu-nity right of appeal which would lead to increased delay un-certainty and cost for those involved.
The PC noted with appreciation all the voluntary work clearing litter from the Kingston to Worth and Langton roads recently carried out by the volunteers of the Love Langton Litter campaign. It was agreed to ask each village hall management committee to seek a litter champion for both Worth and Harmans Cross areas to help coordinate a programme of voluntary litter clearance. Councillors and collectors would continue to cover the collection of blown and deposited litter around the WM car park surface and boundary.
The PC noted and thanked the contractors (Hammonds) working adjacent to the WNM car park for their £50 dona-tion towards their use of the car park
hIGhWAyS MATTERSThe PC considered a 20mph proposal for the centre of
Worth village in response to the concerns expressed at the previous meeting. It was aware of the previous refusal of DCC officers to alter the existing National speed limit of 60 mph through the village. It agreed to promote the proposal for the 350m stretch from the playground entrance to the Begbie bank at the road junction by the Square and Com-pass with an offer to pay for the necessary signs, road mark-ings and advertising costs of the required Traffic Order. Cllr Woolford drew attention to the leaning private tree causing obstruction and contact with vehicles on the A351 Valley road in HX. This was in a property adjacent to Silver Mist. The Clerk would report this for action via the emergency number for Dorset Works. The two footpath signs by St Ald-helm’s Quarry were reported as damaged or leaning follow-ing the inclement weather or impact.
Work by DCC Highways was still outstanding to relocate the 50 mph sign and provide slow and transverse road mark-ings on the entrance to the HX 30 mph limit area.
PLANNING MATTERSPA 6/2016/0211Two storey extension to rear and new porch 1 Dunshay Cottages Haycrafts Lane HX. Cllrs were concerned at the size of this proposal which they considered was a huge 3 storey extension out of scale on a small cottage. PA6/2016//0183 Erect Garage Valley Lodge Valley road HX ( Previously considered at 5 April PC without plans and initial comments made to PDC) No further com-ments TWA/2016/0067 – Brier Patch, Valley Road, Harmans Cross Description: (T1) Oak - remove damaged branch, reduce remaining tree by 4m to suitable growth points; (T2, T3 & T4) Oaks - reduce branches overhanging property by up to 2m to suitable growth points. No comment
oThER MATTERSThe PC noted receipt of the Bank Statement/Cash book
reconciliation carried out for 31 March 2016.They noted the PC account and budget statement.
Cllrs reviewed and approved the Governance statements for inclusion in the Annual Audit return for 2015-16. These were to be signed off with the Minute number by the Chair-man at the next meeting. The completed financial table for the 2015-16 Annual Return had been circulated for consid-eration. These figures were agreed in principle by the PC subject to confirmation by the work of the Internal Auditor

parked cars. This was making general traffic movement dif-ficult when caravans and larger farm and other vehicles were proceeding up and down the lane. It was agreed to ask in the Dubber for those residents and visitors responsible for more consideration to be given to enable free movement to take place in Haycrafts Lane using these passing places.
The next Parish Council meeting will be held at Worth Matravers Village Hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 7 June. Parish Clerk contact details: [email protected], 439044. Roger Khanna, Parish Clerk
hARMANS CRoSS MoVIE NIGhT
On Tuesday, 14 June we are showing the popular British-American science fiction drama The Martian, starring
Matt Damon (‘terrifically engaging’ said The Empire). Nomi-nated for 7 Oscars and included in many critics’ Top Ten Films of 2015, the film focuses on botanist/astronaut Mark Watney who becomes stranded on Mars after his team as-sume him dead, and must rely on his ingenuity to find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.
In a 4-star review in The Guardian, BBC film critic Mark Kermode said ‘director Ridley Scott makes the most of an excellent script and a first-rate star for a scintillating sci-fi trip to the red planet...his most enjoyable film for years’. The Times reckoned ‘Ridley has delivered a muscular storyteller masterclass’. The Daily Mail critic thought ‘Damon gives a suitably stellar performance, one that might well be recog-nised when awards season comes round. It’s hard to think of anyone who could handle this part, as a kind of unique everyman, with more aplomb...this film - based on Andy Weir’s bestselling novel, with a fine, frequently funny script by Drew Goddard and a rousing soundtrack predictably in-cluding David Bowie and less predictably, Abba - marks a proper return to form. It is his finest effort since Gladiator, 15 years ago... it’s terrific entertainment.’
Run by volunteers, Movie Nights are held at Harmans Cross Village Hall on the second Tuesday every month for the benefit of the Village Hall Fund. Tickets are £5 each and are only available at the door on the night. The hall and li-censed bar will open at 7pm with the next feature’s trailer preceding the film at 7.30 and with a 15 minute interval the evening will end around 10.10pm.
We then continue with Maggie Smith in The Lady In The Van on 12 July. Nigel Edmonds
hARMANS CRoSS RESIDENTS CLUB
Our next licensed bar for a Residents Club evening at the hall will be on Friday, 17 June from 7.30 to 10.30pm
– all are welcome. Before our August break, we then have two dates for your diary when we have bars at the hall on Fridays 8 & 29 July. If the weather is warm enough we might even have a table or two on the patio – but don’t hold your breath for that. Nigel Edmonds
MUSIC NIGhT LIVE
Our next concert is on Saturday, 4 June and features The Ben Holder Quartet.
Ben Holder is one of the most gifted and exciting young jazz violinists in the UK. Taught classically from the age of six, he studied at the Birmingham Conservatoire. We are very privileged to have an artist of such outstanding ability
and reputation perform again for us at Harmans Cross. Ben has previously performed with Gypsy Fire at the hall, this time he is with his own quartet.
The Quartet and Ben have had some superb reviews. Alde Jones at BBC Radio 2 said that he was a ‘young star of the future’. Kingsbridge Jazz Club described them as ‘the most exciting band we have ever had at our club’ and The Oxford Culture Review called it ‘some truly virtuosic violin playing’.
The BHQ is Ben’s passion project and a truly fabulous ensemble, delighting audiences with all styles of jazz, blues and swing - there’s even a few Beatles numbers thrown in for good measure. The BHQ is also the group with which Ben has taken the time and energy to develop his own original music, resulting in some breath taking, inventive composi-tions. Led by Ben on violin, piano and vocals, this group fea-tures the melodic Jez Cook on guitar, the great Paul Jefferies on double bass and Nick Millward on drums (formerly with Kenny Ball & Terry Lightfoot bands).
For an evening of pure entertainment, please be sure to get your tickets early; we often sell out! Tickets for this con-cert are available now via credit / debit card from our website and from the Spar shop HX, Replay Records and Swanage Tourist Information. If you have not already done so, please join our mailing list, on the music night live page of the website to keep up to date with future concert information. www.harmanscrosshall.co.uk. JD Dainton

I know that everyone is heartily sick of Brexit but I’m going to have to bring
it up all the same. By the time you read this, it will be about three weeks to the referendum and, if you are anything like me, you will still be wondering which way to vote.
To be frank, it is almost impossible to make a definitive decision as there just aren’t any hard facts and both sides seem to be making identical claims. They are all saying if we vote for the other bunch we will have:
World War 3Immediate recessionCollapse of the NHSMass immigration An open door to terrorism
I don’t think the British public has ever been given such a difficult decision to make with so much contradiction and so little fact.
I have made the effort and tried to search for some ab-solutes. At the beginning, I was veering towards Brexit. As somebody born during rationing, I can’t stand the wasteful-ness of the EU; the horrendously costly bureaucracy typified by the titanic once monthly move from Brussels to Stras-bourg for a four-day sitting. Those four days cost EU taxpay-ers at least £100 million a year... just think what that money could be used for! If the EU can’t end such stupidity then how can we put our trust in it?
Another plus for Brexit concerned cows. I do like to see a cow in a field and somewhere I read that all our dairy farms will close if we stay in the EU. To be honest, I was under the imperession that most of them have shut up shop already. But, if there are any left out there, then, may be, a vote for Brexit would save them.
However, recently, I was listening to a discussion with a group of Europeans (one from each of the EU countries) who have come to work in Britain; it made me realise what a rich society we have with all these nationalities living and working in Britain. Might we miss the free flow of people, culture and ideas?.. I think we might. And, when it comes to the crunch, the EU is the devil we do know and Brexit is the devil we don’t... so a vote to stay in might be the right thing.
All that said, I am still balancing precariously on the fence waiting for Boris or David to push me over one side or the other. What worries me is that most of Britain will simply decide not to vote at all. After all, if we are going to have World War 3 and financial Armageddon whether we vote yea or nay, it seems a pointless task.
But something in me says ‘get thee to the polling station’ and I would urge others to think hard, make a decision and exercise your franchise... because, one thing I do know, we will certainly regret it if we don’t. Angela Bell

We are looking for a new Chair of Trustees for St George’s Pre-school
I have been Chair for 6 years and would like to hand over this role; however, I would be willing to support the new Chair in this re-
warding and crucial role.The Preschool is thriving but we need support
from the local community to keep it going.You would be supported by 6 Trustees who meet 4 or 5 times a year approximately 10
hours per year. You would need to meet with staff and be available to administer to the day
to day running of the school. The Trustees make decisions about finance, HR, recruit-
ment, staffing levels and the school environ-ment. An understanding of the Early Years Curriculum, Ofsted and safeguarding could be developed. You may be a parent, grand-parent or local person interested in support-ing the Pre-school which is instrumental in keeping St George’s School successful.
