TOWER & TAPTOWER & TAPTOWER & TAPTOWER & TAP July & August 2013

Tuesday, 23rd July 2013 Please put this date in your phone calendar or diary

WHY? If you would like to learn more about how the village is likely to expand with the proposed housing development, then this is the day to do it!

WHERE & WHEN? Join us at the Mercure Hotel in the village, between 3pm and 8pm. Come as a family or on your own—all are welcome.

WHAT WILL YOU SEE? Detailed proposals about how the development could be structured, what should be in the village and how it will retain its character, but with more houses in it. There will also be information about the proposed housing development at Rowborough as well as the building plans for south of the A420.

WHY IS THIS EVENT DIFFERENT? Feedback from previous village events has guided how the Parish Council has worked with Swindon Borough Planners and the Developers up to now. This summer is the final opportunity to influence the overall shape of any future development. We expect the first actual planning application to be submitted for Rowborough and South Marston village before the end of the year.

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS AND GIVE MY VIEWS? Parish Councillors, Developers and others will be on hand to provide more information. You will be invited to make comments and share ideas either at the event or once you return home. All comments will be reviewed and taken into consideration.

In the next few weeks, every house in South Marston will receive a leaflet

explaining in more detail what will happen at the event.

We hope to see you on the 23rd July

Dear Friends,

I am thinking about what I should pack for my holiday. Fortunately we

are going by car and the endless list of ‘just in case’ items don’t have to

be carried or weighed in!

We can be the same about our ‘life journey’ too. If

we are unsure that we can make the journey

successfully only relying on God, then we burden

ourselves with all sorts of unnecessary baggage.

In this ‘minimalist’ culture I find myself a little at

odds because I am a hoarder. Well, it might come

in useful….. and I can tell you countless stories of

times when I have been big and brave and cleared

out things only to find I need them after all!

Some people must have particular possessions because they feel they

give them status or social acceptability. Unfortunately we can find

ourselves spending time and energy on maintaining these possessions

and end up being slaves to them or their demands.

Other burdens we carry can be relationships—unhealthy ones that harm

us or others. Perhaps we encourage dependence on us to make us feel

important or we become dependent on the opinion of others for our own

self-worth. Then there are the spiritual burdens of guilt and regret;

feelings of failure which weigh us down.

We are called to travel life’s journey lightly, Christ promises to walk with

us and has taken our burdens on himself. We need not strive for He

gives us everything we need and there will never be an event for which

He cannot provide. Are you carrying unnecessary baggage?

Safe journeys and happy holidays!

God Bless,

Vicky Fleming

Priest in Charge

We are doing a special service in memory of these dearly loved children

us, however many years ago you suffered your loss - together we will

Helen Baber is the new curate with the Stratton Team Ministry and will be living in

the South Marston vicarage for the next four years. She is a Bristol girl; in fact she

has lived in North Bristol all her life. She was baptised as a Methodist, but from the

age of 5 moved to the local Church of England in Henbury. Sunday school and the

Church Lads and Girls Brigade helped form the foundations of her faith.

Helen has been an active lay person before ordination, serving thirteen years as a

Church Warden. She has two daughters,

Jessica 21 and Harriet 18; they will be regular

visitors to South Marston. She also has two

dogs and a caravan, all of which are her pride

and joy. She particularly likes to holiday in North

Cornwall, but she is happy anywhere near the

sea. She has recently learnt to fish and plans to

fill her freezer with her trips to Seaton!

Helen trained at Southern Theological

Education Training Scheme (STETS) based at

Sarum College in Salisbury. This was a part

time course over three years.

Helen chose this course so she could continue

to work full time, she felt that the job she did

would be of value to her future ministry. Helen

was a training and development consultant for a

large pharmaceutical company, working

specifically with change management in the

NHS.

Last September Helen had the privilege of training at the World Council of Churches

Ecumenical Training Institute just outside of Geneva, she spent 5 months studying

ecumenical theology with students from all of the world as far afield as Jamaica and

Madagascar and with all denominations including Armenian Oriental Orthodox and

Lutheran, she says ‘she will never take Churches together for granted ever again!’

Helen is really looking forward to meeting everyone in Stratton, South Marston

and Stanton Fitzwarren and she has already been warmly welcomed and

showered with good wishes already!

South Marston Assisting Wildlife

Many thanks to all of our volunteers for their continued contributions

As well as wildlife, you can find many amazing things in South Marston, including:

- 150 million year old coral fossils - lumps of iron from an ancient quarry - Roman pottery - a medieval village - families that have been in the area for more than 500 years - and a proud history that includes the building of Spitfires 70 years ago

For this month’s SMAWL puzzle we have an amazing thing for you to find!

Write down the names of the two pubs in the village. (Each pub name is made up of three words.)

Cross out the words that both pub names have in common.

Now cross out any letters that the remaining words have in common, no matter how

many times each letter appears in each word.

Using the four letters that are left, make a word.

How weird is that? (If you want to check your answer or simply cheat, the answer is later on in this edition)

SMAWLPUZZLE

If you’d like to be a part of SMAWL please call Chris on 829868 or Susan on 824957, or email Chris at [email protected]. You can also read more about the group on the

Christmas Hampers - new qualification criteria

The government has increased the State Pension age for women to 65

phased from April 2016 to December 2018. A further increase will be phased

in to raise the State Pension age for all to 66 from December 2018.

In consideration of these changes, and the proposed expansion of the village

community, the Trust will be making the following changes to the criteria for

allocation of Christmas Hampers to senior citizens of South Marston. These

changes will be implemented on 1st April 2016.

The changes are not subject to the exact scheduling of government criteria.

� To qualify for a Christmas Hamper the recipient is required to have

been in permanent residency in South Marston for a period of 3 years

prior to submission of registration.

� All new applicants must be 65 years of age on 24th December 2016 to

be eligible to register.

Mobile Library

Swindon Borough Council are reviewing the mobile library service that supports

outlying villages and communities. Did you know that the mobile library visits South

Marston?

If you currently use it, we need your views on how important the service is and are

there any changes you would like to see made? We will then feed these back to

SBC. Please send your comments to:

Clerk to South Marston Parish Council, 3 Ash Gardens, South Marston SN3 4XX

South Marston Enterprise (SME) Group

The SME group is for people in the village who own or run businesses or have a general

interest in business. We have a topic for each meeting followed by a social chat over wine

and nibbles.

In the June meeting we were joined by Ginny Rideout, who is a Cambridge Weight Plan

Consultant based in the village. The meeting was hosted by Rae of Raediance Beauty

and was all about using the self-development technique of the Johari window, to find out

more about ourselves and how other people perceive us. We all learnt a lot about our-

selves and it was great to receive positive feedback from other group members about the

qualities we had, but were unaware of!

This was followed by a general discussion about business and sharing useful information.

The next meeting is on the 4thJuly, then a break until the 5th Sept

If you would like to join the SME Group please contact Hazel Andrews on

An Important Message from Wiltshire Police and

South Marston Neighbourhood Watch

Following the recent theft of a car from the South Marston School car park, please make sure your vehicle is always locked when you leave it and the keys are removed from the ignition. If a vehicle is stolen when the keys are in the ignition your car insurance would be invalid. Recently there have been two thefts from motor vehicles at beauty spots in this area, one being Nightingale Wood. Please ensure no valuable items such as handbags, Sat Navs, coats etc are left on show in your vehicle when left unattended. Also, for those who visit these areas for walking their dog etc, if you see any suspicious persons or vehicles please report this to the Police immediately. Please ensure your sheds, summerhouses and garages are locked when you are not about; thieves/burglars may steal items from these buildings or use items in them to help break into your property. Also thieves/burglars may use these buildings to hide in or store stolen goods which they will later return to collect. During the hot weather it is very important to remember to shut and lock all windows and doors when you go out. Even a small casement window left open can provide a thief with a quick and simple way into a house. Please don’t be tempted to leave anything unlatched, even during a short absence from home. Even when you are at home in the back of the house or in the back garden, make sure the front of the house is secure. Anyone can take advantage of an open or unlocked door or window to quickly nip in and help themselves to your valuables!

Crime Prevention Officers for Wiltshire Police can be contacted for home security advice etc, by telephoning 101

Remember!

South Marston is a safe place to live with a very low crime rate but crime can happen anywhere so be sensible and alert!

Annual General Meeting—Tuesday 11th June in the Village Hall at 2.00pm

Following the AGM a talk was given by Graham Carter on Alfred Williams in South

Marston. We heard how his life progressed and were surprised to learn of the many

activities he engaged in his life. We were shown and told about the houses in South

Marston he lived in and the effort he took to build Ranikhet for himself and his wife Mary

after his return from the war. He remained a working man in the railway works throughout

his life and never considered turning to be a fulltime poet/writer. His work output was

surprising all achieved after a full working day. Not only was he a poet but also a writer of

several books on various villages and the more well know book about life working in the

Swindon railway works. He also did some painting but little is known of his output.

Although he had well known people as friends he and his wife led a very private life and

would never accept charity at the expense of having a tragic end to their lives due to

poverty and ill health.
