The Clerk, Kyla Lamb, outlined the purpose of themeeting in identifying the future needs and aspirations ofthe Village following on from the Health Check undertakenin 2001.

Carl Adams (Action with Communities in Rural Kent)explained the role of ACRK and the importance ofundertaking the research for the Community Led Plan whichwould form the basis of the views of the Parish Council informulating the policies of the Thanet District Council inpreparing its future strategic plans for the development ofMinster and the rural areas. The preparation of the

Community Led Plan would lead into identifying whethera Neighbourhood Plan should be produced and theimportance this would have on the County and Districtprocesses for the strategic planning of Minster. ANeighbourhood Plan would identify whether future housingdevelopment and other commercial development was neededin the Village.

Councillor Bernard Clayson (St. Nicholas & SarreParish Council) outlined the procedures that had beenfollowed in producing its Parish Plan and on the statisticalinformation it had produced to support the way forward tothe Parish.

The Chairman then adjourned the meeting and invitedthose present to attend the workshops and express theirviews on housing and development, social matters, theenvironment, transport and the economic wellbeing of theVillage.

EDITORIALDisappointed to wake up this morning only to find my car had

been broken into and a mobile phone had been stolen. Then later Iheard I wasn’t the only unlucky resident as others had also had their

vehicles looted. So mums and dads please keep your eyes open for aMotorola V3 metallic blue mobile flip phone, originally in a blackleather case, a white Ipod Touch and a pair of Ray-Ban Semi smokedsunglasses, all are items known to have been stolen on the night of19th October. If the perpetrator is reading this and I’ve pricked theirconscience and they still has these items, plus anything else theymay have taken that night, then returning them to the library andleaving them for attention of Minster Matters will result in nofurther action being taken and we’ll see that the rightful owners getthem back.

Extra hands this month to help with getting the magazine out ontime. Thank you to Diana and Kevin, also Diane and Julie forstepping up to answer our recent plea for more volunteers. Now allwe have to do is train them before they change their minds!!

By the time most of you read this I shall be ‘officially retired’having reached my 65th birthday on Saturday 27th - (still only 21 at

heart) but at the present moment whilst writing, I’m just wondering if I’ll noticeany difference ?? I doubt it, but maybe it’ll warrant my other half bringing mea cup of tea in bed and allowing me to have a bit of a lie in, at the very least - methinks I’ll just have to wait and see on that count.

Have you visited Attwells recently ? I noticed the other day that one of themore daring groups in this village have taken to removing their clothes to getnoticed !!!! Actually what I saw was a Minster Playhouse Calendar for 2013which depicts certain members of their group in various stages of undress.Karen tells me if anyone wants a copy they are on sale at a very reasonable£7-99, if that’s what floats your boat. I have been expecting a member of thePlayhouse to contact MM, to make a formal announcement, via our pages, thatthe publication was available, but not a word has been forthcoming, so I’mwondering if they are all now feeling a bit bashful about spreading the word.Well worry not I’ve now done it for them, so if you’d like some half nakedvillagers on your wall next year then pop along to the newsagents and getyourself a copy.

Where have all the youngsters gone ? The Mayhems, I am told, are closingdown (hopefully only temporarily), as they cannot, at present, get enoughyoung blood to keep the group going. Come on kids let’s not lose our wellrespected Maypole group. Please contact Dominique and make her day byjoining up. Seeher plea on page13 of this issuefor more info.

Well, that’s itas always spacehas beaten meyet again and soit only remainsfor me to ask theusual question:

Where’s Zac??

PATIENT LIAISON GROUPNEW COMPUTER SYSTEMDuring the WEEK COMMENCING 12th NOVEMBER

the surgery are having a new computer system installed whichwill, amongst many other things, provide greater security andconfidentiality to files held here. Naturally there will a lengthylearning process which could cause delays and difficulties for ourpatients, but we would ask for your patience and co-operationduring this period and we will endeavor to effect the change-overseamlessly. We would also ask patients to ensure that they haveSUFFICIENT MEDICATION to last them throughout thisperiod and where necessary, order REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONSIN ADVANCE. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCEAND CO-OPERATION WHICH IS GREATLYAPPRECIATED.

PRESCRIPTIONS AND DISPENSINGRecently there has been some confusion concerning the

dispensing of patient’s prescriptions. NHS guide lines state thatif any patient lives further than 1 mile from a pharmacy then thosepatients can have their medication dispensed at the surgery.Patients who live within 1 mile of any pharmacy therefore, haveto get their medication dispensed elsewhere. They CAN CHOOSEWHATEVER PHARMACY THEY WISH and are not restrictedin their choice, in any way, at any time. Of course, repeatprescriptions will always have to be requested at the surgery inthe normal way.

CHRISTMAS BAZAAR - SAT 24TH NOVEMBERFor more information about this event please see our ad on

page 10.ZERO TOLERANCEOver the past few months we have become increasingly aware

that a minority of our patients have been rude and aggressivetowards staff at the surgery both on the telephone and face toface.

We would like to remind those patients that we operate aZero Tolerance Policy along with the rest of the NHS. Our staffare here to help you and deserve to be treated with respect, abusivebehaviour and bad language will not be tolerated.

Any changes in policy are either because of rulings from theDepartment of Health or are changes discussed and approved bythe Partners in the practice, surgery staff are merely implementingthese changes and passing on this information as instructed.

We will always do our best to be helpful and sympatheticand greatly value the excellent relationship which we haveestablished with our patients over the years.

SURGERY STAFF TRAINING DAYSPlease note that the surgery will close at 12.00 noon on

Tuesday 20th November.Should you need to see a Doctor during this time then please

call “Doctors on Call” via the normal surgery number - 821333.Or you can also call “NHS Direct” on 0845 4647 for confidentialhealth advice and information for you and your family. Thankyou.

LEUKAEMIA & LYMPHOMA RESEARCH FUNDTHANET BRANCHAt an excellent charity event in Minster, Branch Treasurer Dot Mitchell was presented with

a special Merit Award from the national Trustees of the Charity for her voluntary servicespanning 38 years.

Jonathan Cox, Finance Director of the Fund who presented the Award spoke of how Dotwas a member of the committee that set up the Branch in 1974 and has been Treasurer since1975. He described how the Award was the gold medal for voluntary service to the Fund andcould only be awarded every three years to any one Branch.

PRAISE FOR THIS YEAR’S MINSTER ART SHOWI think this year’s Annual Art Exhibition was the best yet. I was amazed at the

Keep up the good work! Pam Parkinson

MINSTER ARMBOUTS CAPPEL TWINNING ASSOCIATIONI got a “must do better” for my brief piece last month! Therefore, here goes.The AGM will be on FRIDAY 16 NOVEMBER at 7.30 pm at the

Neighbourhood Centre. Please come and see us then. New members will alwaysbe welcome and are necessary for the future of the Association. We shall be votingfor new officers so please support us. No doubt, we will retain some “old” officerstoo! We need fund raising ideas and help and village thoughts on future trips toFrance.

We will be having a table at the Village Hall Christmas Bazaar and again lookforward to your support. There should be ..... .... ‘NO’ we will keep it secret untilthe day, in case there are spies and thieves around! Our genius is to be protected. Ifwe say you will enjoy it if you like food, a flutter and a bargain, then that will suffice.

We are planning a race night and a quiz so watch this space for dates. AnniversaryCelebrations in France next year will on 5 May so start saving now to have a greattime in Armbouts Cappel for that celebration. Then there will hopefully be Fun Day– with good weather booked for a change – and our presence at the Minster Show.

Next month’s Minster Matters will contain a list of our new members or castigationto the village for not supporting its organizations. You have been warned!!!! HappyHalloween.

MINSTER IN THANET WIMarion Rose welcomed members to the October meeting and,

following a rousing rendition of “Jerusalem”, the evening’s speaker,Eileen Booker, was introduced.

Eileen’s “Crafts for Christmas” was extremely well received by all as shedemonstrated quick, easy and reasonably-priced ways to make numerous lovelyChristmas tree, table and house decorations.

The Minster Institute’s Dabble Day is on the 3rd November with Pottery,Beading, First Aid in the Home and Glass Painting on offer. The next SunshineClub outing is to Bladbean Gardens. The three options for the venue of theBirthday Dinner in February 2013 were discussed.

After refreshments, Marion reminded members of Minster WI’s annualmeeting, on the 13th November, during which committee members and officerswill be elected for the following year. A show of hands decided that a choice ofcake or cheese, with wine or fruit juice will be served on that evening. TheChristmas Party (on 11th December) was discussed and donations for thehome-cooked food, together with hamper donations, were requested.Entertainment for the Party remains a mystery but Marion was assured by theCommittee that it was in hand!!

Marion put forward an idea that we should become a Link WI with NorthTonbridge WI and it was generally thought to be a good thing to twin with thatInstitute. Dorothy Douse has been nominated for the NFWI Board of Trustees.

Before the raffle, Marion asked that the Minutes of the last meeting be approvedand seconded, she then confirmed that November’s meeting will be on the 13th.

October’s meeting closed at approximately 9.25 pm.Other regular activities, held in the Village Hall Committee room, are:Darts, every Tues 2 – 4 pmCoffee & Chat (every 3rd Thurs. 10 am – 12 noon) Nov’s = 15thGames Evening (every 4th Wed. 7.30 – 10 pm) Nov’s = 28th

MINSTER MAYHEMShave had to be (hopefully) temporarily suspended as there is a

lack of young people participating. This is disappointing to the dancerand musicians who have enjoyed being part of it for the last 5 years.

Fish Bait Fly Tipper ProsecutedA Margate man who fly-tipped potentially hazardous fish bait

by-products has been fined £3,000 after being successfullyprosecuted by Thanet District Council.

Reginald Gary Wilson (27) of All Saints Avenue, Margateappeared at Canterbury Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 28 Augustand pleaded guilty to disposing of controlled waste. The offencewas contrary to Section 33 (1) a of the Environmental ProtectionAct 1990.

Wilson was fined £3,000 with £100 costs, plus £225 clean-upcosts and £15 victim surcharge, totalling £3,340.

Magistrates heard that on 4 November last year, council StreetScene officers were alerted to a fly-tip incident at Marsh FarmRoad, Minster - a local beauty spot.

The waste was discovered to be the by-product used in theproduction of fish bait, and included an estimated 100 plastic potsof rotting egg and three vegetable oil barrels. These were all pouredinto the watercourse that runs alongside Marsh Farm Road acrossan area exceeding six metres in length.

Marsh Farm Road had to be closed while the waste wasassessed, and the subsequent clean-up required work by the council,Kent Police, Kent Fire and Rescue and the Environment Agency.

Following detailed council-led investigations, Mr Wilson wasinterviewed under caution by council Street Scene officers. It wasdiscovered that he collected waste in a van from a localbait-producing company, even though he was not licensed to doso. CCTV evidence was used in compiling the evidence for theprosecution.

Leader of the Council, and Cabinet Member for Corporateand Regulatory Services, Cllr Clive Hart said, “The council hasa zero tolerance attitude towards fly-tipping, and we will nothesitate to prosecute offenders. Such activity is simply inexcusable.

“The waste left at Marsh Farm Road spoiled a picturesquepart of Thanet, but we will vigorously pursue any incidentswhenever and wherever they take place. I hope that the fineimposed by magistrates in this latest court case will act as a suitabledeterrent to those tempted to ruin our area through fly-tipping.”

Minster MattersI so love this village, and really do care.I honestly would not want to live anywhere but here.I have written before that Minster really Matters.We have a really welcomed newsletterwhere anyone can natter.I mean we can send in to the Editor, interesting facts.About things that are to happen or have happened, aboutthis or that.Our village has everything most people need.For entertainment and for fulfilling the need to feed.We are fortunate to have friendly people about us,and walks along tracks to countryside.That give all the views of sea and ocean and horizons farand wide.If one is poorly, help is at hand, and we have anancient Church and Abbey, on consecrated land.To live in this village of Minster, I honestly believe.Is a blessing we should cherish, and you and myself I donot deceive.Yvonne Chapman

Asia and Europe by Smile International in December (Charity Number1079730). Smile International is a charity passionate about helping to relievesuffering and poverty through the distribution of humanitarian aid; the ChristmasShoeboxes are one of their projects. For more information, please seewww.smileinternational.org

You can make a shoebox on your own or share one with a friend or smallgroup. Cover the shoebox (and lid separately) in wrapping paper, so the shoeboxcan be opened and checked. The contents should be gender and age specific,for example for a ten year old boy.

Karen and Jenny at Attwells newsagents have once again kindlyvolunteered to act as a collection point for shoeboxes or donation of contents.Alternatively, you can deliver them to Mary Lord at 33 Tothill Street (leavein the front porch) or to me at 101 Tothill Street.

Contents can include:· a bar of soap and a flannel · tooth brush and tooth paste· hair brush, comb, hair slides · small toys, such as a doll, car,

skipping rope, ball, bag of marbles, snap or other playing card games, stationery,writing and colouring materials – (Attwells stock many of the toys, along withstationery packs specially-made by Karen and Jenny).
