Editorial Hello there� This is the very first issue of a new publica�ion called the NET'.i'L@IAl\1 N'.c..\'lS - a parish magazine for all Nettleham. It will show no preference to any organisation in the village but will reflect a variety of news and views of the village in general. However to do this the enthusiastic team, who have brought the magazine into being, do need your help. Let us have your views, criticisms, hopes and aspirations for the village. The magazine is your platform, so don't be shy- air your views by letter or'phone - get it off your chest, there may be many others in the same mind!

On the 7th February 1301 Etlward I created his son "l!dward of Caernarvon Prince of \vales and Earl of Chester". The event took T>l"CP in the r:'enor r-rouse ( in Hhat is now the Bishops Palace field) . Edward I sent a writ to the Sheriff of Lincolnshire "enjoining him to provide immense q_uanti ties of corn, pigs, cows and sheep for food, also oats and hay for 400 horses for a month". I recently wrote to the Prince of Wales to remind him of the anniversary of this event, and in reply it was stated that "His Royal Highness can use some of the oats and hay but not for 400 horses!" He offered his very best wishes on the occasion of this important an..niversary".

In this first edition there is a believed complete list of organisations in and affecting the village. If your special one isn't listed or there are errors, please let us know and we'll include it in the next edition. Secretaries of organisations are invited to contribute articles about their activities, and particularly to contribute dat""s to the "Nettleham Diary" page in the magazine -an entry can prevent another function on the same date as yours to mutua� benefit.

For the first year the magazine will be quarterly and issued free. The excellent response by advertisers has made this possible. If you wish to advertise in the '·News 11 please let us know - it 1 s a good commercial package and not expensive. When

you use the services of an advertiser please tell him where you saw the advert -that will encourage him to stay \vi th us a.nd so help the "Ne\·Js" - \o!P. rely on advertising totally.

In addition to the news items in this edition we hope to include a variety of others in future editions. 'rhese include: Readers letters; local sport; religious news; village footpaths; youth and school activities; history of Nettleham; cookery hints; first aid bints; readers unusuaJ. holidays; items for sale; and a crossword. Any further ide�'S from readers vJOuld be welcomed.

We do need further help in producing the magazine. If you have relevant skills please let us know, and in particular \ve oo need help in dis�ributing the magazine -the ideal would be at least one person in every street. It doesn't take long and a few minutes go a long way.

The team members for this first edition are:

Parish Council It was unanimously resolved at a recent meeting that a project be undertaken to replace the popular bulletin in the form of a Parish Booklet. As a result the Parish Council is indebted to Councillor Geoff Clarke and his Committee who have undertaken responsibility for publication and extends to Mrs Sheila Turner of Parkside and Mr Ray Ridley of Kingsway its gratitude for their splendid public spirite� contribution as former editors of the Bulletin.

The Parish Council is a statutory body which exists essentially to maintain, provide and improve village facilities. It would therefore welcome participation from both individuals and organisations to assist it to discharge these duties. Any ideas or suggestions for consideration by the Parish Council can be made in a number of ways :

a) by attending a Parish Council meeting at Mulsanne Park Pavilion (there is a list of dates on the notice board at the Co-bp store); or

b) by writing to or telephoning the Clerk : David Dubut, 10 The Crescent, Nettleham, telephone Lincoln 'T51570, or

c) by getting in touch direct with any member of the Parish Council (a list of names and addresses of Councillors also appears on the notice board at the Co-op store).

Any complaints can also be made by similar methods of communication.

Additionally, if there are matters on which you require support from the Parish Council concerning functions of either the District or County Authorities, do not hesitate to get in touch. If the Parish Council can assist it will do so. IT IS YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY

David Dubut MONEY HA'-l"l'ERS

'l'Illi fu1Vl:JillND 'l'ONY llUR'l'ON was welcomed by a large cone,-ree:,"C.J.tion in N et tleham Parish Church on Wednesday, 8 December 1982, when the Bishop of Lincoln officiated at the ceremony of Induction and Insti tuti.on for the new Vicar of Nettleham.

from Your New Vicar As the new Vic2.r of Nettleham, I vTarmly vTelcome this new h3.gazine. Jesus Christ was in the business of communication - opening up the Hay for us to be on terms with God and \vi th one another - and so I believe that everything that hell)S us to knovr about, and so to understand, each other is good.

I too am in the business of communication - concerned to build up relationships of knowledge and trust wherever possible � I ho:oe very muGh that the l'arish Church of All Saints' vlill continue to be one centre for this building up: on the one hand, that the Church building may soon be r.:�gularly OIJen so that a.ll v1ho wish may come in to pray, to look around, or simply to enjoy a moment's -peace c:md 'luiet in a

holy place - and, on the other hand, that the real Church, the company of the friends of Jesus Hho meet him there, may alHays be open and welcoming to everyone, from babies to those rich in yee.rs, just as the l'Bstcor himself was O)en and available to all >·Tho ce.me to him.

l'Jy wife and I live at the Vicarage, 1.,rhich is officiaJly No.2 Vicarage Lane, and our tele�)hone number is Lincoln 754752. Although, sadly, the policy cf the Diocese is nowadays to build Vicarages not large enough to hold meetings in, vie shall always welcome anyone who calls, or rings u9, vlhe ther on definite business or sim;.Jly to have a chat! At present, it looks as though my regular 'day off' 1.,rill be \</ednesday, so I should be glad to be srJared business, as far as �1ossible, on that day .

You may wish to know that Church i:3ervices at All Saints' on Sundc:.ys are likely to continue as at :oresent - Holy Corm:runion at 8 a .• m.; the Parish b'ucharist at ').30 a.m.: and b'vensong at 6 �,J,m. '"here wil1 ::tlso be the Ho,y Communion on rl'hursda.ys at 9.30 a.m.; and on Festivals at 7.30 p.m. -Lady Day, 25 l'iarch; St l'iark, 25 April ( at 7 p.m. before PCC fvleeting) ; SS Philip & James, 2nd l"iay; and especially The

Ascension Day, 'l'hursday ·12 h;:w.

I shall be glad -eo arrance to ta.1-ce the Sacrament to anyone unable to get to Church, and to have news of anyone who mirht ap�)reGiate a visit from me - though nlease be patient until I cet a.round to you�

Tony Burton

In Conversation \d th Jimmy 2-nd r-1rs. ;:laVJyer

When were you born'� In 1903 July 9th in The Crescent in a cottage about where Bill Needham lives -there were two cottages there. A lot of us were born there. M&

father was a Higgler -that means he would do any contract jobs. Ploughing, allotments, any job working for other people - farming as a self employed man-he led all the granite for the roads for Welton R.D.C. for years from Langworth and Reepham Station for road making and from Wickenby. How many horses had-he then? About five or six. He employed men·� No there were five or six of us lads who had to work the hosses -and Mrs. Tinker used fo go with a hoss and cart when they were tight. And we led all the wood for Wilson & Kirk's saw-mills -·In Lincoln'' Yiss, and Wilson & Kirk here at Nettleham. Where there some saw-mills in Nettleham? Yiss, Wilson & Kirk and Parker had one where Tuplin's Garage is now. Yiss. A tractor used to drive it later on. He had a small engine -with a belt Drive? Yiss. You know where you had your house - Cammacks'i' Yiss. Well that used to be the Blue Ribbon Yard. Why the Blue Ribbon Yard':* I don't know but it was a paddick and it was full of trees what Dad had brought there for weathering for Wilson & Kirk - then we led some for Parker. Was the old Chapel Hut there then? No, it was put up after - during the first World �ar? Yiss. When did you first go to school� When I was five years old about. The Headmaster was Peter Arch. Did he live at Nettleham'( Yiss, he lived in the School House, and had two sons - Hector and I can's remember the other. Did he have to be a Church Warden then? Yiss and he was a trustee of the old Village Institute. Who lived up

. at Riseholme then? Well Capt. Wilson leved there then and I can remember Charles

Wilson as well. At the top of Kennel Hill at Riseholme, - there used to be a gate across the road there and there was an iron gate across the road at the other end of Riseholme and you were'nt allowed through unless you were going on the Estate or summat. It was'nt a public road? No, it was private. Where did you first go to work? I left school at 11. Before that I worked for me dad. What about tenting these horses'! Ah well I used to be out at three a.m. in the summer, because I was the youngest and the others had to go granite leading after. I was up at three and turned the hosses out on the roads. Did 'nt you collect otper people's horses as well'! Yiss, Old Joey Allis's pony-he used to be postman for Grange de Lings and Riseholme with a pony and trap. Did'nt the Landlord of the White Hart have one then'! Yiss, Goodyear had one and then there was Spencer -opposite Houltby shop-he had two hosses, I turned his out -where Miss Orange lives now, that used to be my Dad's farmyard at one time. He farmed that land yon side the Brown Cow to Riseholme Hill. There's one field comes round the bottom near the beck, and they called that Cocker's field. That was Cocker Sawyer? Yiss. You took these horses up Greetwell Lane? YisG. and tented them -well anywhere. Up to what time? Till nearly six, I had to have them baQk by then. Joey Alliss wanted his for six for the Post Office. I didn't go to school a great lot. Didn't go to school a great lot? No never, thats the reason I can't spell now. I used to go•potato picking, but a lot of others did, they used to give a school holiday for potatoes': Yiss, a fortni t. Who were the farmers you went to? Robinson- Sid Robinson then-the foreman leved in Charlie Well's house - Smith they called him-he would follow you with a thack peg and if you missed any (potatoes) he would give you a clout! Eight to half past four, to give em time to get pied down. The pay was a shilling a day. Six days a week. Then I had to come home and tend the hosses. Did you ever go gleaning? Yiss, for Tommy Hardwick -We used to go gleaning for him. Where was his farm'! Why he had that land on Scothern Road that Keith Kerrison had. Then he had the farm where Heather Kerrison lives (Adams now). Was there a Hood family in those days? Oh Yiss. If you look in Kelly's Directory they put some windows in the Church, There was a Gamble lived there and they would come down with a cart and two bosses. We used to go up there to Nettleham Hall and if we knew they were coming out (through the big gate) we used to open the gates-and got a penny. Then we shut them again and waited for them to come back (for another penny). I had to go granite leading when I was 10 years old - on my own on a Saturday. Dad used to give me a chain and as soon as· I had undone the taildoor, I put the chain on the wheel and on the cart at the back, the hoss would back and tip it up, then take the chain off and put it on the front and on the wheel and the hoss would then go on and tilt the cart up again. You had to walk with a load and then gallop back as fast as you could go to get another load, and dump it on Wragby Road in heaps. Old Rollett came and summoned Mother a time or two. Who was Rollett':' A School Inspector from Brattleby- He summonsed Mother because I wasn't at school. The last time he came he said where is he? He hasn't been to school for a fortnit. She said He's leading watter for the steam roller on Scampton Road· and he said " I shall have to take a summons out for you" and she gave him a crack on the head with her sweeping brush and fo.r more before he got to t.hP ��ont street. And that was in that house just past the White Hart -where the Finn's live - Where Grettons livea: Y1ss, we swapped over withGrettons, we leved there 16 year. When did you finish schooll Eleven,and I had to go on the land and I went down at the Stable Yard. It was from 7 a.m. to 7 at night and 7 days a week fetching bosses in from farms alld. anywhere. He was dealing in hosses. Then he had th� .fa.rlll as well.

By the time you finished school the First \.Jorld ivar had started': - Yiss, the last 2 years I was at the Stable Yard. \Vhen there was an Army Sale coming up we fetched bosses in - maybe a train at midnight we would fetch 150 bosses - we brought 8 out apiece. The Riding school was packed right round with bosses- and it was eleven times round it to the mile- then all the stables were full. They fetched chaff and stuff from the farms - I would go up to the farm for a load of chaff - but I had to pull the flipping trap back. Seven or eight bags of chaff - \fuat was wrong with the pony': 'l'here wasn 1 t one for the trap. They had one at the Blg House. About 15,000 bosses went through the Yard for the Army. What hapuened when there was an Army sale'! The Army came and tested the bosses for their wind by riding round the ring .-.hree times at full gallop - and then they would pass them. Vlhat about their teeth etc·! Oh well he used to cut their gums to make them look like 5 year old horses. We took them down to what we called the Sudbrooke Boxes where you could get their head over the bottom door, �hen we tied them so they ' couldn't get back, then put an iron in the mouth so they couldn't shut it, then he would have a pen knife and cut the gum round and then rub salt in it to ��e them look five years old. If there was one which was lame, I used to have to stand at the corner, when they wanted to test him up and down the yard, and I had to shout "Right" and they would hit that horse on his bad leg as haxd as they could, hit him with a cudgel- and then he would go sound (and through the sale) 2nd then we would be taking him on three legs to Lincoln for },ranee. What about the Ginger·: Oh I used to have to chew the ginger. He used to say "Go to Mansford's and fetch a pennorth of lump ginger - and then I had to go round chewing it. �very time they wanted one (a hoss), he shoved a bit up under his tail and didn't he go up and down that yard. lily mouth was burning and I don't know what they were doing but their head's were up and their tail's was going. He used to cut their tails off if they didn't pass. There was a Blacksmiths Shop in the Stable Yard*and I used to hot an iron up - like a little hollow iron - then he would �art the hair where the joint was and tie it back, and he had a proper knife for the tail to fit in, then he would pull the knife down sharp and cut it off, then he would get the hot iron and squeeze it between the skin and the flesh to dry it up.

*The Blue Ribbon Yard was down Chapel La.ne and 'l'he Stable Yarct was at the side of "The Barn" flats.

From Nettleham to Everest Ken Weatherston

In October 1981 a dream became reality for David Walker of 4 The Steepers, Nettleham. For some time he had nurtured the thought of doing something different, something exciting that could be looked back on with a sense of achievement. A London travel firm provided the answer with the offer of twenty five days trekking and climbing in NEPAL terminating at the brightest jewel in the HINALAYA crown :tvlount l!.'verest. Nettleham to KATY�DU and a walk to 1'verest may not be everyone's idea of pleasure but for David it was the realisation of an idea long held • . His travelling companions were six Canadians, a lady from Singapore and five other Britains with David being the least experienced in trekking and climbing. A flight from-Heathrow to Katmandu via Delhi took David eventually to KOTARI the starting point'of the trek. Here the party were met by a group of SHERPAS and their leader Sherua PINJOO,.the Chief SIRDAR or foreman. The Sherpas tended the needs of the party for the duration of the trip. This meant the preparation, cooking and serving of food and the handling of a thousand and one tasks that a party of this nature needed doing. The prime objective was to trek through the desolate NEPAL regions with their countless romantically named villages, which in reality were ffimething less than romantic, to the Everest base camp. Ancient trade routes between TIB�T and INDIA newly opened, were followed through steamy forests, streams and river beds. Two days of such activity set the scene for the tough _-...

times to come. The climbs were still ahead. Equipment was limited with each member of the party allowed only one kit bag plus whatever they themselves could comfortably carry. Davids "belongings" included socks, shirts, mittens, an anorak and thermal underwear. A comprehensive First P.id kit enabled him to treat a wide range of medical needs, including tablets for all ailments. A few loosening up days and the hard work began with the party initially climbing to 10,500 ft giving them a magnificent view of the KHU�rnA- HIY�L and allowing a first look at the animals of NEPAL notably YAKS and SNOW MONKEYS. It is here that fields of rice, maize and potatoes oover the hillsides. An early arrival at one village found all the inhabitants drunk on the local brew appropriately called CHAli!G-BEER, a weak watery substance with particles floatlne; on the top, but nevertheless drinkable. The daily routine began at 5.30 am when David was awakened with tea. After washing and dressing, breakfast consisting of porridge, more tea, coffee or Ovaltine was served. �Tekking during the morning was followed by a lunch of fried potatoes, meat, fish or eggs prepared anQ served by the Sherpas. More trekking and climbing until about 4.30 pm when work for the day ended. Dinner was a special event. A meal of soup, meat,vegetables and chocolate delight would be followed by a candlelight discussion of the days events. From the foothills to the mountains took about ten days and on the eleventh began the final trek to Everest. The DHUDDM-KOSI river was followed to NAMACHE-BAZAAR the main village of the Everest region and this in turn by a long climb up to THYANGBOCHE at 12,700 ft, amidst the most beautiful alpine scenery. Also seen on this route is the famous school founded by Sir �mund Hilary at �IJUNG. As one would expect in desolate parts of NEPAL transport is of a primitive nature. Goods are carried by humans, YAKS or makeshift carts and frequently the party encountered groups of Nepalese going about the business of transporting goods. They see very few white people and believe that all are millionaires. �

A long final climb took the party, thoroughly exhausted to the peak at KHALA-PATTAR some 18,000 ft. 'rhis produced a remarkable panoramic view of the KHffivffiA GLACI.Mt and the Everest Peak Base Camp. Lxhaustion quickly gave way to elation, excitement and emotion as there, not three miles distant, stood �'verest in all her splendour, trag�uy and glory. Was this happening, was David Walker from Nettleham really standing under the awesome gaze of this famous mountain in this mysterious, beautiful and silent land. The days had passed so c�uickly. David tells me that he lost a stone and a half during the trip but never felt better. He also gained his own personal glory with a successful climb of POKALDE towering at 19,000 ft. Some achievement, as this particular peak was only climbed for the first time in 1953. Not only was this a once in a lifetime experience, it also highlights the idea that with vision and determination the dreams of life can be brought to rP-ality, and David can look back on this with a sense of pride for the rest of his life.

Should anyone have had an interesting, exciting or unusual experience, involving a journey, holiday or achievement please contact any member of the magazine committee. &l interview will be arranged.

Women's Institute Hhat is the �,f. I. and what does it offer·: 'l'o anmver the first r]uestion it is a nationwide Group formed originally to help wives in Rural areas.
