Charity Coffee Morning

Thank you for all your support

for the fundraising coffee

morning on Saturday 5

October for Cancer Research

UK.

It was fantastic to see so many

people on a soggy Saturday

morning, with amazing

homemade cakes and a lovely

friendly relaxed atmosphere.

We were particularly grateful

the support of local families

and the men of Marton.

2

Special thanks to Jane, Sue and Angie who

ran the kitchen, keeping the tea flowing and

the cake well stocked.

So many people have all been affected by

cancer, whether through family, friends,

neighbours, colleagues or even personally.

Thank you again for all your support, we

could not do this without your help, and we

hope for your continued support in future

events.

Currently the total raised is £600, however,

money continues to come in through the sale

of jam’s, cards and donations so we will give

you a final update before Christmas.

Thanks again

Sales and Marketing Director. It is with British Leyland that Chris travelled extensively overseas to places like the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, North America and Australia. He was an integral part of the sales and marketing team, promoting products including cars, truck, buses, tractors and other agricultural machinery around the world.

From 1964, for 3 years whist working for British Leyland, Chris joined the Royal Corps of Signals TA, where he rose to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.

Chris also worked for Howard Rotavator, Gimson Tendercare Stairlifts as a General Manager and Director and the Association for Language Learning, whilst also being an active school parent governor. It is around this period that Chris had a career turnaround. He stared teaching himself IT skills and began helping schools set up, establish and maintain their computer systems. This is when his

Chris Smart Chris Smart

Chris Smart of 42 High Street sadly passed away on the 20 October 2019 after suffering

from chronic kidney failure. The beloved husband of Steve, father of two daughters and granddad to three will be greatly missed.

Born in Halesowen in 1942, to an RAF pilot and a

member of the WRAF, the family were always on the move. Places included Canada and Bristol after which they returned to the Midlands, where Chris attended St Philips Grammar School in Birmingham. With both parents in the RAF, Chris had a keen interest and also joined the Air Training Corp. He then went on to Bromsgrove College of Further Education to complete his student career as an Austin Engineer Apprentice and hence became an Austin ex-apprentice 1959-63.

An extensive career was to follow spanning across many prestigious companies. Chris’s initial career with British Leyland spanned 20 years in several different roles rising from Student Engineering Apprentice to

interest in the education sector began to escalate.

Since 1985 Chris served as a dynamic school governor and in other voluntary supporting roles. This covered nine schools stretching from Rugby, Nuneaton, Atherstone and Southam. Chris worked tirelessly to help schools in special measures. His determination to get things done helped transform the quality of the education provided. Which lead to his appointment by the Local Education Authority. His legacy includes a library dedicated to him by the pupils at Hartshill School, Nuneaton.

Chris always worked to right wrongs and even whilst receiving dialysis treatment he helped fellow patients. He instigated improvements in the local ambulance service for renal patients and upgraded access lighting

to improve safety in 4

and out of the local hospital.

All of his hard work and commitment was recognised with two invitations to Buckingham Palace, the later in 2014 when Chris was described as “a stalwart of education, who has dedicated 30 years of his life to the sector”. He received an MBE for his services to education. On collection of the prestigious award from Prince Charles, his HRH told Chris “you have been doing this for a long time” and “it is important that people like you do this job”. His last projects included serving as a school governor at Our Lady’s Primary School and Southam College. He was the forefront driving force for the creation of the Stowe Valley Multi Academy Trust.

He was once quoted when asked about retiring, “ I often think about that. There is

Marton Art Exhibition

Both visitors and exhibitors

were very impressed by the

high standard of all the exhibits

shown and the overall

presentation. The church

looked very purposeful, bright

and vibrant with the Jane and

Zena’s flower arrangements

adding the final touch. The

preview evening was

particularly successful with

buffet tables loaded with

delicious canapes and wine. We

extend

our

thanks to

all the

cooks and

donators

of food

and wine.

Fifty

people

enjoyed

the fruits

of their

labour, looking at pictures,

mingling with the artists and

watching Biddy demonstrating

6

the art of corn dolly making.

Refreshments were always available with

excellent cakes, scones etc people sat around

and enjoyed chatting to new visitors and old

friends. Janet and her team did a grand job.

The raffle was well supported and had a good

variety of prizes from a pumpkin to a cuddly

toy, Arthur did sterling service here.

There was a good variety of craft, Linda Deeley

handiwork, Ralph Denton boxes, Ian de Courcy

pottery, Biddy Allen corn dollies, Louise

Barnfather Marton keyrings and many excellent

cards. In addition, Mark Horton, from Eathorpe,

exhibited his Fractal boards, an unusual art

technique which has been the subject of an

article in a recent Four Shires magazine. If you

should wish to know more about the Physics

underlying the method contact Jennie Walsh as

this was her doctorate research topic. Jennie

had to purchase one of them!

Photographs were of a wide variety of subjects,

with some unusual angles and composition.

Bobbie Bolam and Ro-Anne Finch were

the church in Marton, raising

money towards significant

structural changes such as the

kitchen but also enabling artists

from a twenty- mile radius to

exhibit their work and meet each

other at a social event. We

welcomed several new exhibitors

this year who seem to be very

pleased with the event. The

organisation starts in August and

reaches a climax when the

entries are assembled into the

schedule and all the paperwork

is ready for acceptance of

exhibits in the church. We are

very grateful to Bill Buckler and

Arthur Gibson with the team

who assembled all the staging

and hung the pictures. The finale

is reached when the unsold

exhibits are returned to the

owners, the accounting has

taken place, all payments made

and, in this case, about £900 was

presented to the church.

Thank you very much for all the

support and help given to make

Festival particularly inventive. The vicar bought one

of Bobbie’s to use in a sermon. Graham

Robson provided many local natural history

photographs to demonstrate Marton wildlife

and, along with other members, to advertise

the activities of the Rugby Natural History

Society.

Sixteen paintings and photographs were sold

which might not seem many out of a total of

over two hundred but was reasonable

considering the rather low number of visitors

for much of the time over the weekend. The

prices ranged from £10 to £400, large size to

small and using a variety of techniques: oil,

acrylic, watercolour, pastel, pen and wash

and mixed media.

Voting for the favourite painting was

popular. The votes were widespread with

many paintings getting votes. The artist who

got votes for most paintings was Frank

Morris from Rugby, he paints in oils and has

won favourite

painting here in

the past. The

picture of

choice this year

was The Otter by Pam McConnel from

Southam, with the most votes This was

closely followed by Joan`s attempt at an

Impression of Graham`s Pond and Jane`s

George. Jane sold both her horse pictures.

This was the fifteenth art exhibition held in 7

Marton Crime

Neighbourhood Watch

Miranda & The Police Citizens’ Academy

“Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you all know about a ten week course that I am part way through - it is called 'The South Warwickshire Police Citizens Academy' . I applied to attend as I thought this would compliment my Neighbourhood Watch Duties and I could share the content with you all afterwards.

I read about the course in one of the Police emails that I circulate to the Village - I can thoroughly recommend it if it is repeated. It is held at Leek Wootton Police Headquarters on Tuesday Nights.

This week was particularly exciting as it covered the work of Police Dogs. The Handler , Gail, brought in her three dogs, Pyro - a very large, strong, boisterous Alsatian used for front line duties - search,

chase 10

and apprehend, Maggie - her ten year old Bomb and Explosives sniffer dog and her tiny 8 week old puppy - who she is training to replace Maggie when she retires. I also got the chance to try on the Kevlar bullet proof jacket (see front cover) the Dog Handler wears . With all the equipment it weighs about 15KG - she recently chased a suspect for 4 miles cross country, whilst wearing it

and keeping up with Pyro!!! It goes without saying that Police Dog Handlers are super fit!

After the course has finished I will distribute the Powerpoint presentations from each week and if there is a request I could talk through some elements of them to the various village groups.

The original information on the course from the email and the agenda can be seen below:-

Warwickshire Police is offering people in South Warwickshire an exciting opportunity to learn about and experience the day-to-day workings of their local police force as part of the Citizens' Academy.

This programme provides local people over the age of 16 with a unique insight into Warwickshire Police's work to protect people from harm and improve residents' quality of life.

Members of the public can support the work of the police and their partner agencies by enrolling in the ten-week Citizens' Academy programme,

During the 10 weeks police officers, police staff and supporting agencies/organisations will deliver presentations on key aspects of policing.

What will you get from the course?

Students completing the programme will graduate from the Citizens' Academy and their participation will be recognised with a formal ceremony.

It is hoped that students will pass on their experiences and increased knowledge to the rest of the community, or become special constables or volunteers with the police or other agencies.

The course will cover a range of policing functions/roles including crime prevention and detection, recording crimes and incidents, road safety, forensic investigation, police use of firearms, internet safety, and the role of Safer Neighbourhood Teams as well as other key departments. There may be opportunities for students to experience ride-alongs with police officers and to visit a police station.

Participants will also be encouraged to request subjects of specific interest to them to ensure they get the best possible benefit from the

the red kite.

Have you seen this Bird? It has

been visiting Graham`s garden

and Joan saw it on her way

back from the Plough. It is 14

an occasional visitor to the area and not at all

common.

This bird is a

the pointed

wings of a

kestrel but is

smaller and

the tail is

shorter. It

chases small

birds, flying

low to the

The male is dark blue above with a grey head

and is larger than the lighter coloured female.

Our visitor is a male so do look out for him.

A TALE OF CAUTION - Article

dated 1605 from a

Warwickshire Newsheet.

"William Perkins a local man

(born in Marton) was unusually

wild and sinful in his early years,

and was a drunk.

He was stopped in his tracks

one day, when he overheard a

woman reprimanding her child

saying "Hold your tongue, or I'll

give you to drunken Perkins

yonder".

It so saddened him and alerted

him to his fallen nature that he

came to God for salvation and

God turned his life around.

He entered the priesthood at

Christ's College, and was a

great Preacher for the

remainder of his life and loved

by all.

In 1577 he entered Christ's

Church College and received his

BA in 1581 and a MA in 1584.

Perkins married in 1595 and

had seven children. Three

Marton Church

Vicar’s Letter

Thought for the month:

Dear Friends,

Sue Keffler came to speak to

us in St Esprit Church at

October’s deanery service of

‘In the Spirit’, which takes

place at 6.30pm on the first

Sunday of each month. Sue

spoke about her and her

daughter Natalie’s time during

the summer volunteering with

the charity Care4Calais. It was

so informative that we, as a

PCC, thought we should make

this available to the village.

Natalie writes: 18

“When my mum and I signed up to volunteer,

we had no idea what to expect, only that we

knew we wanted to help, and have a better

understanding of what was going on, due to

the media often providing a warped portrayal

of the real situation, and labelling the

refugees as economic migrants who have a

choice whether to leave their country or not.

What I quickly realised through being there

however, was that no one in the camps we

visited had chosen to be there – they had fled

because they had no choice, and they were

now in a very unstable position. What is also

often a misconception is that when the Calais

jungle was dismantled three years ago, the

refugees would go back to their home

countries. However, the loss of the jungle has

instead led to thousands of refugees being in

a dire situation, having been scattered to

multiple camps around northern France

where there is little certainty of how long

these camps will last.

Despite their situation, I was struck whilst

being in Calais at how incredibly hopeful and

resilient the refugees were, and this made me

even more determined to ensure they

continue to be given hope for a more stable

life, through offering our support until a

better long-term solution is put in place. The

Marton Church

Church News atmosphere in the camps varied dramatically;

one day we were at a camp where the

atmosphere remained relaxed, with football

games going on, however the following day at

the camp in Brussels it was much more

chaotic, due to the sheer number of people

and the limited amount of items we had with

us, meaning it was impossible to help

everyone.

For the refugees, living in the derelict building

sites, city parks and areas on the sides of the

road is clearly not a long-term solution, and

the sense of animosity between some of the

local residents and migrants is exacerbating

the problem. However, in the short term, it is

necessary to help refugees retain their

humanity, and support them as they try to

seek asylum. It is important that we all

consider what we can do to help the refugees,

whether through donations of money, items,

or your time. It is crucial to ensure that the

refugees are not forgotten about and are able

to keep alive the hope that so many of them

have, miraculously, retained.”

Our thanks to Sue and Natalie for their first-

hand accounts.

With best wishes from Revd Jane &

supporters and to hear so

many appreciative comments

about the festival.

There was a hardworking and

dedicated team behind the

scenes who enabled

everything to run smoothly but

extra special thanks are due to

Joan Sherratt for her

leadership. Perhaps we can

persuade her to do it again

next year!!!

Meanwhile thank you to

artists, picture hangers, cake

bakers, refreshment stewards,

art stewards, raffle organisers,

church cleaners and all other

supporters.
