From the RectorDear friends,

I would like to say a big thank you, to all those whohave responded to our stewardship campaign. Wehave not yet had the opportunity to evaluate thefull financial impact of the programme but whenwe have, we will keep you informed. One of the out-comes of the presentations was some good ideasfor future fundraising events - perhaps surprising-ly people wanted more of these, seeing them as agood opportunity for the community to get togeth-er, The presentations, although not well attended,did give people the chance to ask questions; fromthese it was clear that Christian stewardship wassomething that needs more explanation. In the pastwe have focused on the church buildings and thecost of ministry because these are the thingsimportant to local people. But by doing this wehave perhaps lost sight of the bigger pictureChristian giving is after all an act of love.

The principle of stewardship is closely linked tothe concept of grace: everything comes from Godas a gift and is to be administered faithfully on hisbehalf. There is both stewardship of the earth andstewardship of the gospel message. Our interna-tional consciousness of the relationship betweenecological damage and political exploitation of thepoor has made us all look for a more sustainablefuture. In our own country, Christians have beenvery concerned about the levels of unemploymentand technological change in industry.

Stewardship of the gospel is about the wayChristians live their lives, how they use their per-sonal resources of time, money and talents to helpothers in society. It raises questions about mission,personal and corporate lifestyle.

One of my favorite stories about stewardship is thestory of King David building the temple in the bookof Chronicles. In the story, King David leads fromthe front, offering his own personal wealth to thebuilding of the temple. The gifts David invited werefor the Temple of God, not a house for mortals. Itwas a big vision, a bold one. When talking about thebuilding of the temple, he was willing to take risksin faith. The goal of Christian giving is not the sur-vival of a struggling institution or an embarrassedplea for more money. It is about effective ministryand spiritual growth in Christian discipleship.

There is a real joy in giving that can set a churchfree in worship and ministry. The passage from 1Chronicles ends with King David proclaiming thegreatness of God in the words that we say at theEucharist.

Yours Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory,the splendour and the majesty. For everything inheaven and on earth is yours. All things come fromyou and of your own do we give you.

Graham Parmenter gave a fasci-nating talk on taxidermy to theladies this month. He revealedthe secrets of his craft to thegroup.

Graham started with an interestin falconry and used to do talkson field sport but moved with achange of career from Kent to

Hereford and has now been con-centrating on taxidermy for thepast 15 years. The tools of thetrade are not expensive – they aremostly found in the garden shed,garden centres or the localchemist.

There is relatively little of theoriginal bird left, except for theoutward skin and feathers. Anincision is made on the back andthe entire internal organs areremoved. Work has to proceedquickly as decomposition occursvery quickly. Borax is used to dis-infect and preserve the skinsafter the flesh is removed.

A mannequin of the bird’s formis then used as a base for the fin-ished product and soft wire isused for the armatures of the

limbs. It is a little more difficultto preserve animals because oftheir size and fur but the sameprinciples apply. Fish are easier,according to Graham, but theylose their colour when preservedso have to be painted by hand tofinish. The biggest piece of workGraham has preserved is ahorse’s head. He brought severalspecimens of his work for us tosee, including several species ofbirds, a squirrel and a baby fawn(pictured).

His love of nature shone throughhis talk and his appreciation ofthe animals he worked with. Hewas very generous with his timeand information and no questionwas too much trouble to answer.

High-flying dance over WhitbourneTake; a dance in the park wasbeen created over two weeks on asix metre domed rig in a field atLonglands Farm. It's one of mymost enjoyable projects withBlue Eyed Soul yet, such a treat tobe working at home and outsideand not in the usual black box

theatre spaces void of naturallight.

The three dancers came from dif-ferent parts of the UK to live incaravans on the farm andrehearse each day. We began witha visit to the Shropshire Archivesto research the lives of threeVictorian women and the historyof live performance in the quarry

park in the 1800s. From thisresearch, we pieced together a 30minute dance performance usingmany of the opportunities the rigprovides for supported dance:climbing, dropping, swinging,spinning, gliding and only occa-sionally crashing!

The sound score ofclassical and tradi-tional music mixedwith the voices of thedancers and an out-side eye was recordedon our only rainy daybut the poly-tunnelprovided a suitablesound studio!

An open dressrehearsal attracted a

small crowd of critical friendswho said amongst other things:“it was funny, moving, breathtak-ing” “The most remarkable pieceof work I have seen in a longtime. All hail to the ladies fortheir efforts, grace and expert-ise” “Mesmerising and beautiful”

The piece premiered at ShiftTime festival in Shrewsbury and

will tour at the end of the sum-mer. Special thanks to Geoff and MaryAnn for the loan of their cara-van's, to Liz at the QE andMargaret for their help with cos-tumes, and a huge thanks to Juliaand Bill for all their help and sup-port.

Come and sing with the FerndaleSingers on Thursday evenings,in Broadwas.

Musical Director, MerrenAnthony, is holding an introduc-tory evening for Tenors andBasses in the Village Hall,Broadwas, on Tuesday 1stSeptember, between 7.30pm and9.00pm, when she will bedelighted to welcome you and togive you details of the life andaims of the choir.

Having moved to this lovely vil-lage some seven years ago(although Marion and I had beenregular visitors before then), I’vebeen peering into theWhitbourne brook itself mostdays as I cross the woodenbridge to walk up through thefields to Mark’s Post Office andshop and more recently to ourvillage shop.

However, never once has a fishswum into view in the shallowsor in the shade of overhangingtrees and bushes. I’ve even pad-dled my way along it at timesunder the command of JerryCummins as we do the occasion-al clearing up of the banks.

My enquiries of older residentsinvariably elicit positive sight-ings of fishy denizens, but onlyfrom their more youthful days.So where have all the fishesgone? Are there deadly anglersdragging them out after mid-night? Is there some new, hiddenTeme barrier blocking them offfrom swimming in to our brook?Perhaps predatory mink andrats, or even otters, are denudingour babbling brook of its nativeinhabitants.

How good it would be if we couldrestock the bourne once again.Suggestions are surely called for.

All the fun of the fête

After admiring the garden and craft exhibits in thechurch, visitors had plenty of time to relax in thesunshine with tea and cakes (above) or a glass ofsomething cool at the wine bar (below).

Heavy showers in the afternoon were forecastfor Saturday 11th July, but the record num-bers who came to Whitbourne for the church

fête were rewarded with sunshine and entertain-ment for all, raising a grand total of £2,077.

The various stalls were busy from the start, withnew attractions including the traditional ‘guess theweight of the pig’ courtesy of Mr Harvey Richards,who brought along two Tamworth porkers to keepeach other company. They belied their reputationas escapologists and remained safely in their penall day. Meanwhile at the East end of the church,the children of Whitbourne Primary School werebusy managing several attractions including face-painting, a tombola and penalty shoot-out.

In the announcer’s tent, the Tiblands nursery choirsang early on to an appreciative audience. Otherattractions in the main part of the show includedseveral plant stalls, a treasure hunt, the ‘SplatAttack’ with water-filled balloons and traditionalfavourites such as skittles and ‘whack the rat’. Thebarbeque and tea stalls were busy all day as wasanother innovation, Sally and Annie’s wine bar.

The Gardon Society’s Annual Show took place inthe church itself and the breadth of talent wasstriking as always with strong entries in poetry andcalligraphy as well as the more traditional classesfor baking, flower-arranging and garden produce.

Mr John Allan, Show Secretary, commented thatwhile standards were as high as ever there hadbeen fewer entries than previously especially inflower arranging, baking and photography. Thevegetable classes on the other hand were keenlycontested. Mr Allan felt that particular congratula-tions were due to Miss Abigail Cunningham for herhard work, which had been rewarded with severalindividual prizes. He hoped that younger entrantswould be encouraged to compete next year.

Mrs Penny Hayward won the Whitbourne GardenSociety Challenge Cup. The other winners were :

The Sam Elliot Cup: Mrs Yvonne EvansThe Bill Pitman Trophy: Mrs Sue JonesThe Pimpernel Art Trophy: Mr Dai JonesThe Juro Trophy: Mr Paul LackThe Silver Jubilee Trophy: Mrs Yvonne EvansThe Clarissa Jones Bowl: Mrs Myrtle Kneen

The afternoon ended with the traditional tug o’ warbetween Bromyard fire station and the village.Despite the able assistance of CSO StephanieAnnette and her colleague, the visitors were out-numbered and slid to a good-humoured defeat.

The ‘Splat Attack’ stall was busy all day - it’s harder than it looks. The Bromyard firefightersbrought along the larger of their two fire pumps and children were able to climb inside the cab.

Summer at home and awayThree days of sight-seeing wereon offer for the children in Years5 and 6, the top two years, atWhitbourne school, when theywent on their school trip toLondon.

Starting with a tour of theHouses of Parliament, the visitincluded a trip to Madame

Tussauds (where everyone hadthe chance to sit in the ‘BigBrother’ chair and listen to BigBrother), a ride on the LondonEye and a visit to the theatre tosee The Lion King. Accompanied

by Father David,as well as schoolstaff, the childrent h o r o u g h l yenjoyed them-selves.

The whole schoolhad a chance tostretch their legson Sports Day -postponed oncebecause of therain, a dry dayfinally arrived, and

the children spent most of theday taking part in competitionsand games on the playing fields.

Parents joined them for a picniclunch, and then the really seriousraces began, including a mothers’race and fathers’ race - all theday’s events earned house pointsfor those children placed, so theywere hotly contested; the win-ning house was awarded the firstHouse Cup at the end of term.

Church thefts warningPolice in Herefordshire are warn-ing church staff and local resi-dents to be on their guardagainst thieves, following threetheft incidents across the countyin June.

Between 6th and 20th June, athief forced the collection box inthe entrance to the St John TheEvangelist Church in Shobdon,near Leominster, removing thecash contained therein.

Then between 14th and 21stJune, someone entered StDienst's Church in Llangarron,near Ross, and tried to force thesafe in the vestry without suc-cess, leaving empty-handed.

The latest incident was at StMary's Church at Fownhopebetween 14th and 22nd Junewhen someone tried to breakinto the collection box, againwithout success.

Given the time frames for theseindividual incidents, it is possi-ble that all three offences were

committed on the same day,though at this stage police haveno firm evidence either way.

Police urge all those chargedwith the care of rural churches tomake sure that security is astight as possible, especiallywhere many churches are leftopen during the day for thosewishing to visit or pray. Safesand collection boxes should bechecked as often as possible.

Householders living in the vicini-ty of rural parish churches canalso play their part by keeping asurreptitious eye on their localchurch, noting registration num-bers where appropriate andreporting all suspicious activityto police as soon as possible.

Anyone with information on therecent spate of thefts shouldcontact the Public Service Deskat Hereford Police Station on0300 333 3000 or callCrimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Do you look after a relative orfriend? If you provide supportto someone who is ill, elderlyor has a disability, and thatperson cannot manage with-out your help, then you’re acarer. Carers can be parents,young people, friends orneighbours.

The last Census shows thereare about 17,500 carers inHerefordshire - only about1,900 of them are registered.We want all carers to registerwith Herefordshire Carers’Support (HCS is a registeredcharity working for carers).

We are extremely glad to say thatthe Gala went off without anymajor incidents of disorder ortheft. However we did have onereport of two 4x4 wheels beingtaken off the Gala site during theevening of Saturday July 4th.

The Local Policing Team are cur-rently in the process of deliver-ing to every secondary and pri-mary school within our area aSmartwater Business Package.

This package will be used inevery school to protect any itemsof value which are on schoolpremises and is used as anextremely effective forensic toolto deter and prevent burglariesand thefts.

I hate shopping - by Shirley Whittall

Some folk find joyto pick and chooseand fill their trolleywith food and boozeBut I hate wanderinground and round

to find items that donot want to be foundWhy can’t they be in

the same place every weekWhy move them aroundso that I have to seekAnd why is it me

everytime that picksthe trolley with wheelsthat won’t turn and stick

It moves sidewayswhen I want to push

then it hits someone’s ‘butt’and I get that look!

I apologize with a smilebut all I get is a stare

No sense of humour some folks - it is rare -I finally get to the till to find

there is only one openI’m going out of my mind!Two ladies before me

with their trollies full blastare moaning and groaning -Ah, an assistant at last!

People behind me go in for the kill - and I’m left behind trying

to get to the till!No manners these days

or thought for one anotherIt matters not to them

that I’m a tired grandmotherThe assistant should say,

‘This lady is first, she’s been waiting a while, and looks fit to burst!’But no hope of that in this day and agelook out for yourself, I’m in a daze.

How sad that we cannot find time any moreTo help one another as we did beforeThe age of chivalry is lost in time

but remember - to Heaven it is a long climb!

Council Comment

At last! There on the ParishCouncil agenda for Julywas the planning applica-

tion for the new WhitbourneVillage shop, the subject of somuch work and consultationover several months. The daywas also ringed in my diary as Iknew that I needeed to be thereor I could be disqualified, havingbeen unable to attend severalprevious meetings.

As a rule, when an e-mail arivesand the text says simply “pleasesee the attached letter” it is badnews. So it proved in this case:the clerk was writing to informme that, having missed too manymeetings, I was no longer a coun-cillor. There is of course no obli-gation on the clerk to mentionthis in good time, rather thanwhen it is already too late, sothere was nothing to be done.

This unfortunate lapse was atleast instructive, since it gavecouncillors the opportunity tofind out what happens in thesecases. The vacancy is advertisedand eligible candidates are invit-ed to volunteer. At the sametime, electors may write toHerefordshire Council requestingthat an election should be held.

If enough of them do so (and ofcourse if there is more than onecandidate) then an election takesplace. This is generally badnews, since the cost is borne bythe Parish Council involved.More often, the new member isco-opted by the remaining coun-cillors from those candidatesputting themselves forward.

On to the meeting. Cllr Williamshad undertaken an impressivelythorough consultation withhorse owners in the area, whichwill result in four new warningsigns close to dangerous bends -two on bottom lane either side ofFinchers Farm and the others onthe road to Whitbourne Ford, atthe sharp bend before Rosemore.

There have been near misses atboth these locations and all 12owners who had been consultedfelt that signs could help reminddrivers of the need for caution.

The first planning case was ahouse proposed to be built in thegarden of another property. Thisraised the point that the devel-oper was offering a ‘Section 106’contribution of £3,600 toHerefordshire Council. Thisamount (none of which comes tothe Parish by the way) is made upof contributions to services forwhich the house will increasedemand - libraries, highways andso on. It’s interesting that a lawdesigned to allow Councils toobtain contributions for majordevelopments, where a new roadis needed for example, hasbecome in effect a planning tax.No payment, no permission.

Now to the village shop and theParish Council considered theplans in detail. The new buildingis proposed to extend from theVillage Hall and run along theback of the car park (whichwould be enlarged slightly so asto maintain its existing capacity)parallel to the playing field. Thematerials and elevations havebeen chosen to blend in with thedesign of the Village Hall and theCouncillors were generallyenthusiastic about the plans,although concerned as towhether the costs could be met.

The Village Hall committee hadnot yet seen the plans and wasdue to be meeting to considerthem as we went to print. Nextstop, Herefordshire Council!

CSO Stephanie Annette reportedon recent crime-fighting activity,including the hunt for a vehiclethat had been associated withseveral thefts of mowers, powertools and the like. As reportedon Page 9, driver and vehiclehave now been found so no needto give the details here.Stephanie encouraged membersof the public to report any vehi-cle that might be acting oddly orparked in an unexpected place.Even if no offence had in factbeen committed, this was usefulintelligence. Contact numbersare on Page 17.

Finally, Cllr Tom Hunt reportedon some statistics and estimatesfor the future of Herefordshire’spopulation. This is projected togrow by 25,000 in the years to2026, with 65% more people overthe age of 65 and a doubling ofthose over 85. This suggests thatpressure for new houses will con-tinue to be strong and it will beinteresting to see if this is borneout by the results of the recenthousing survey, due shortly.

Agricultural Chaplain’s ReportDairy updateDairy Farmers of Britain (DFoB)was a farmer-owned co-operativethat filed for bankruptcy in June.Of the 1,800 farmer members, allbut 200 found alternative buyersfor their milk within a few weeksbut the remaining farmers (usu-ally small and remote dairyunits) presented a problem forthe receivers, though a contractwith Milk Link is being negotiat-ed. Financial help has also beenmade available through the RABIfarming charity (emergencyhelpline 01865 727 888).However, the cash-flow repercus-sions lead to speculation thatmore farmers will quit the sectoranyway and the industry hasasked government for more timeto comply with anti-pollutionrules that require substantialcapital investment. In the longerterm, a recent consultant’sreport on the sector offers somehope, suggesting that milk pricesmight begin to improve in 2010.

TB updateThe pedigree livestock farmerfrom Devon who wished to takeDefra to judicial review over itscompensation policy for cattleslaughtered due to TB (see previ-ous briefings) has been refusedpermission to appeal to theHouse of Lords. Although he wonthe initial High Court case, theCourt of Appeal overturned itand so the Appeal Court’s deci-sion will stand. However, thenumber of cattle slaughtered dueto bovine TB has risen by almost20% in the first three months of2009, when over 12,000 cattlewere slaughtered and 5,000farms faced movement restric-tions.

FWAG’s 40th birthday pledgeThe Farm and Wildlife AdvisoryGroup (FWAG) celebrates 40years this year and has askedfarmers to respond by doing“one thing for wildlife” in 2009.The website gives examples ofwhat might be done and a list of

pledges received will be forward-ed to government at the end ofthe year to demonstrate farmers’commitment to the environment.See www.fwag.org.uk/pledge.

Health & Safety Statistics andAdviceThe Health and Safety Executive(HSE) report that farming relateddeaths fell from 46 in 2007 to 26in 2008, though this still makesagriculture one of the most dan-gerous industries to work in, andover the last 10 years, 450 work-ers and members of the publichave been killed on Britain’sfarms. 10 of the 26 recent deathswere employees, the others wereself-employed farmers. HSE havepublished a free booklet to helpraise awareness of the issue,available by phoning 0800 9172868 and quoting FW04.

NFU consultation on sprayingWhilst still awaiting the outcomeof the legal case brought byGeorgina Downs (see previousbriefings) concerning protectionof the public from agriculturalsprays, the NFU has launched anonline consultation of farmers. Itespecially wants to hear fromthose who already voluntarilynotify neighbours to learn fromtheir experience. Seewww.NFUonline.com.

UK Climate projections reportA report launched by Defra onthe impact of climate change onUK farming predicts an increasein agricultural pests and dis-eases, more frequent extremes ofweather (droughts, flooding andstorm damage) and livestockexposed to heat stress. Howevercrop yields are likely to increase.Summers are likely to be twodegrees higher in southernEngland by 2040, with a 20%drop in summer rainfall, thoughwinters are likely to be wetter.

Decline in county farmsCounty council tenancies used tobe a way in to the farming indus-

try for new entrants, but between2003 and 2007 the area of coun-cil owned farmland fell by 20%,leaving just under 100,000haremaining. Although councilsmallholdings pre-date the firstwar, it is the Agriculture Act1970 which stipulates that localauthorities, as statutory small-holding authorities, are to “makeit their general aim to provideopportunities for persons to befarmers on their own account byletting holdings to them.”

However the need for councils tomaximise their revenue oftenthrough sale of assets, the size ofmany smallholdings which arecomparatively small and uneco-nomic as farming units, and theproblems faced by tenants mov-ing onto larger units as theyprogress in farming have allaffected the ability of the systemto attract new entrants.

However attracting new entrantsis critical if the industry is tothrive. A recent report by theRoyal Agricultural Society ofEngland (RASE) predicts thatfarming needs 60,000 newentrants over the next ten yearsand that it must compete active-ly with other employers if it is toattract these. It recommends thatan industry-wide strategy bedeveloped to tackle the perceivedskills shortage.

Letter from the Bishop of Hereford

Ithought that the best thing todo this month was to ask thenew Bishop-elect of Ludlow,

the Ven. Alistair Magowan towrite something about himself,so that you could begin to “get toknow him” and his family. Sowhat follows comes from him:

“What’s our new Bishop like andwhat about his family? It is thekind of question that might beasked at these times. Of coursethe best way to find out is tomeet in person. We very muchhope that on arrival there will begood opportunities to do justthat. For now, here is a littleabout us.

Louise and I have three children,two grown up and away fromhome, one who is married.Susanna, aged 13, is ouryoungest and she is still at home.Together we are looking forwardto coming and being among you.

Louise grew up in West Yorkshireand trained as a nurse and mid-wife. We married during mytraining at theological collegeand during that time she alsocompleted a one year course inpastoral ministry. This she hasfollowed up with further study.For a number of years here in

Dorset she has been exercising apastoral ministry as a lay mem-ber within a team.

I spent much of my early years inMalvern and through farmingfriends remember many happydays in and around what are thechurches and villages of theBromyard and Ledbury deaner-ies. Since then life and ministryhas taken us all over the country.It is really nice now to be comingback into the Diocese ofHereford.

I studied Animal Physiology andNutrition at Leeds University. Itwas during that time that I felt agrowing sense of God’s call toministry. After graduation Ispent two months in Burundiand worked on a water projectfor a hospital. On return and forthe following year I continued inLeeds working with the homelessat St George’s crypt. This pio-neering work, which had begunin the 1930s was a wonderfulplace to test vocation and learnsomething of practical service.

Ministry has taken us all over thecountry. I was ordained inSheffield and served in Owlerton,better know as Hillsborough andfor Sheffield Wednesday’s foot-

ball ground. From there we spentfive years in Durham where againI held two posts, one as chaplainto St Aidan’s College and one ascurate of St Nicholas. There thenfollowed 11 stimulating years inGuildford Diocese. My parishincluded the fields ofRunnymede. Now, after 9 won-derful years here in Dorset, weare delighted to be moving toyou and to be travelling this nextstep of the journey together.”

Alistair will be consecrated asthe next Bishop of Ludlow at St.Paul’s Cathedral in London onTuesday, 29th September, at11.00am, and then be welcomedinto our diocese at a special serv-ice in St. Laurence, Ludlow, onSunday, 4th October, at 3.30pmat which everyone will beextremely welcome.

Please keep Alistair, Louise,Susanna and the whole family inyour prayers as they face theupheaval of pulling up theirroots, moving and settlingamong us.

We are delighted that they will becoming!

A Grand Day Out

When Harvey and Diane Richards offered tolay on a pig roast in aid of TedstoneDelamere Church, I took the chance to

meet them at Lower Thrift Farm just off PoundLane, which runs from Whitbourne Ford to Clifton-upon-Teme. This has been their home since 1990,when they won permission to build their ownhouse on the site by the narrowest of margins - thecasting vote of the planning committee’s chairman.“He came to visit and I said that if we were allowedto build here, we’d stay and raise our family,”remembers Harvey. “I kept that promise. If itweren’t for him, we probably wouldn’t be talkingnow as we would have had to move elsewhere”.

Their garden looks out over the unspoilt Sapey val-ley, across which Harvey can trace his family’smovements over a century. Directly in front of usis the Hill Farm, where Harvey’s grandfather LewisRichards arrived in 1910. His brother William tookthe neighbouring Hope Farm and in due coursemanaged to save enough to provide farms for histhree sons - an achievement that was noteworthy inits time and would be quite impossible today.

Harvey points out the five churches visible fromthis spot - Clifton-upon-Teme, Upper Sapey,Tedstone Delamere, Harpley and finally Sapey OldChurch, at the very end of Hope Lane, sheltering atthe foot of the long spit of land on which sits theHill Farm. It’s a magical place, not least becausethere are no through roads. “There was talk ofbringing a road past Tidbatch” says Harvey, poiint-ing out an isolated cottage with no visible access,“but nothing came of it. So you have places thatare very close together as the crow flies, but milesapart by road. I can be with those cattle atTedstone in minutes on the quad bike, but by roadit would be a good three miles round.”

Harvey farms “cattle, sheep, pigs and children”. Heis passionate about passing on his knowledge ofthe countryside to the next generation and LowerThrift regularly hosts visiting groups from schoolsin the West Midlands and beyond. Harvey andDiane are equally passionate about doing their bitfor the church and have decided to host an after-noon of good food, fun and games on August 15th(details opposite), in aid of Tedstone DelamereChurch. Do come and experience their hospitality.In the meantime, you can find out more aboutLower Thrift and Harvey and Diane’s produce at www.tedstonetraditionalmeats.co.uk

Harvey and Diane’s happy Tamworth pigs arefree to roam in a large pen - and sometimesbeyond. The sows are called Lizzie, Mary, Janeand Kitty and the boar is Mr Bingley.
