Making beautiful music together…
Recently, an orchestra came to play in the prison where I work as Chaplain. The lads really loved it –
especially Beethoven’s 7th! They asked lots of questions, and one that stuck with me was about the role
of the conductor.
Of course, you know that the conductor’s role it is to prepare the music, to read the score, shape the music
and hold it together, keeping the great spread of players, instruments and sections in harmony. Sitting in
the audience, people see arms going up and down in time to the music. On the other side, sitting in the
orchestra, you see face, eyes, hands and arms – the whole body - communicating with you all the time!
The best music is played by orchestras working together under the conductor’s direction, keeping together
because they know that they are, by that effort of self control and unselfishness, making truly beautiful
music. Soloists do it too – they play with the orchestra, not against it!
If the conductor dropped out, the musicians would still carry on – but gradually the music would shift and
blur, lose its focus, because only the conductor can see the whole of music score – others only have their
own part. The players would eventually lose harmony and unity. They would want to get back together –
but to succeed they have to be able to hear each other, and watch both the conductor and their own music.
I believe that if we want the freedom of life lived in peace and harmony we need a conductor – and we
have one in God. God hears and sees the whole of the music that is our lives. Through Christ, who knew
and knows our chaotic and disorderly life, we can follow the directions of our cosmic conductor. It’s a
matter of listening to one another, having self control, accepting that we need to be constantly and
unselfishly aware of others around us.
And, crucially, it’s a matter of watching our conductor.
Our social and cultural harmony breaks down when people deliberately cover their ears, and hear only
their own part of the great music – or worse, make their own version of the music, without reference to
score, conductor or others involved. That is painful for us all. We all know of situations where that
breakdown has happened – in families, local communities and international relationships.
Humans thrive best together in community. We all need to be where we can see and respond to each other
AND our conductor – who is also the composer. We each have an important part to play, which will
result in unity and harmony if we are willing to listen and watch. We are all playing different
instruments, but if we are all willing to follow our conductor then we can make lastingly beautiful music
together.
That’s the symphony God composed - and conducts, communicating with us all the time. It’s even better
than Beethoven! Enjoy...!
Jane Kennedy: Associate Priest.

SOUTH KILWORTH BOWLS CLUB The Green is looking very healthy and the 2013 Season is underway.
The Club are holding “Roll-ups” on Wednesday evenings at 6pm at the Bowling Green, Village Hall –
weather permitting.
For the uninitiated a “Roll-up” is a friendly game of bowls between members to practice for matches and
loosen up the aching joints. The game is played to the rules and competitively but enjoyment is a key
ingredient.
Anyone interested in having a go and joining in would be very welcome – the only initial requirement is a
pair of shoes with completely flat soles – to protect the Green.
For further details, please contact the Secretary, Keith Rickhuss on 01858 575792. Email:

LUNCHEON CLUB On Thursday 21st March a somewhat depleted number were treated to a special St. Patrick’s Day lunch.
The main course of boiled Gammon joint was served with Cabbage, cooked in the juices from the boiled
Gammon, and mashed potatoes. To follow, a fruitful Whisky pudding, Irish Coffee and chocolates were
enjoyed by all who attended.
Unfortunately a last minute twinge prevented me from attending but fortunately I was able to enjoy the
full version relaxing in my reclining chair.
On Thursday 25th April eighteen of us gathered at Kilworth Springs for lunch. Maintaining the theme of
Saints days celebration Saint George would have enjoyed the repast provided .
The main course- a Chicken casserole was accompanied with glazed carrot sticks and julienned cabbage.
made a very tasty dish. A jelly based Trifle topped with cream and garnished with a fanned Strawberry
was not only eye catching but also stirred the taste buds. Coffee or tea and mints concluded a most
enjoyable afternoon.

SOUTH KILWORTH W.I. For April’s meeting, Dorothy Howie came to speak about living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
She talked about the history of the city; how it has grown since oil was discovered in the 1930’s, and is
now a city with modern shopping malls.
Dorothy gave us an insight into an ex-pat’s life, and also the way of life that the Saudis have. She brought
along some of the items she had bought over there including a few handbags!
It was a very interesting talk showing a completely different way of life to what we are used to in
Leicestershire!
Next month our speaker is Johnnie Franks who is speaking about the charity “Quilts for Injured Soldiers”.
New members and visitors are always welcome.

WASoSK’S The SK News publication date is once more inconveniently placed in respect of the date of the
WASoSK’s meeting. An update on appreciation next month.
NEWS FROM THE SCHOOL We have been involved in a number of sporting events over the last month and were very pleased to have
come second in the Small Schools Swimming Gala. We were beaten by just one point!
Our tag rugby team also played really well at the recent Tag Rugby Tournament. Congratulations to all.
Currently our Year 3/4 children are receiving weekly tennis coaching sessions.
Thank you to everyone who collected and sent in vouchers recently and brought items for our Ragtex
collection. Your help really does aid our funds and this time Ragtex raised a fabulous £201. Your help is
much appreciated.
We have just completed a den building area in our woodland walk and are looking forward to the warmer
weather so that the children can make good use of our lovely grounds. Pond dipping is underway in a few
classrooms and the gardening club are busy planting. Even the chickens are happier and seem to be laying
more eggs now that Spring is finally here.
The Year 5/6 children enjoyed a visit to an Anglo Saxon Farm in West Stowe last week. Max Faulkner
wrote a report on their visit.
On Thursday 18th April we went on an exciting trip to West Stow Anglo Saxon Village. We went
on this trip because we have been learning about farming.
Year 5 and 6 had to be at school for 8 am for it was a two hour journey to West Stow. I
was partnered with Molly Whitehead, there and back we played fun games with everybody. When
we first got there we went into the museum, it was amazing how many things they found. It was
so interesting touching and seeing all of the old and worn out artefacts they had preserved. I never
realized how many things the Anglo Saxons invented.
Soon after we looked at all the museum we had our lunch out on the picnic benches. After
everyone had finished lunch we went on the lovely park still on the site. It was such an
imaginative park it had great slides, climbing walls and swings but I found sand in weird places.
Next we went to the educational centre to learn a bit more about the village. I learnt that two huts
burnt down in Anglo Saxon times. Later on we went to see the huts. They were all very interesting
and different from each other because the historians had experimented with which hut would be
most likely to be built in those times. We went into every hut and looked at them, apart from one
which was so old we could only peer in it.
The whole day was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot, it was factual yet fun. I would recommend
West Stow Anglo Saxon Village to all ages.
by Max Faulkner
Year 3/4 children have been looking at the work of the Church as part of their RE lessons and enjoyed a
visit to St Nicholas church recently where Rev. Jane Kennedy met them and kindly answered their very
searching questions. We hope to display some of their work in the Church.
We are very pleased that we are now able to offer a chess club at lunchtimes run by the Leicestershire
Chess Academy.
Our annual May Fayre is on Saturday 11th May 2-4pm please do come down to the school to join us.
As always if you would like a place for your child at South Kilworth CE Primary School please do

CRUMBLE FOOLISHLY DISPLACED (A letter received by the residents of Little Bones)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I write to you, or whoever is in charge of the day to day runnings of the property known as 'Little Bones',
to lodge a formal complaint.
I have a long history with the aforementioned property, and have in fact been a regular guest since 1987-
so regularly, in fact, that there is even a wing of the property that the staff have affectionately named
'William's Room'.
In the past 25 years or so that I have been a recurring guest at Little Bones estate, I have had little cause
for complaint. The staff have made me feel welcome, the food has been good, the lodgings consistently
adequate, and there have always been a range of outdoor activities to keep even the most demanding
outdoors-type up to their Hunter Boots in muck, as so to speak. In other words, I have always been
content and found few grounds for complaint in terms of overall service and value for money.
However, I find it distressing that I must report that I was deeply dissatisfied with an incident that
occurred on my last visit on Easter Sunday, April 1st 2013, in the dining area involving the 'Easter
Special' menu. I have no grounds for complaint with regards to the main course, Roast Goose with all the
trimmings, which was consistent to the usual high standards: the goose was cooked to perfection, the
gravy and other accompaniments were superb, and of course the roast potatoes could not be matched even
in the kitchens of multiple Michelin stars around the world. Sadly, I cannot be as enthusiastic with
regards to the desert. In fact, this was bordering on traumatic, following the high standards set by the
previous course. Traditionally at Little Bones, the main course of any delicious roast is followed by a
crumble with a choice of custard or cream. Sadly on April 1st 2013 this was not the case.
Crumble is part of the culinary heritage at Little Bones, of which I have been accustomed to for many
years, so I was appalled to discover that crumble was not available for the 'Easter Special' meal. Instead of
being served crumble and custard or cream, the guests were palmed off with a bit of old pineapple. I find
this appalling. I took it upon myself to investigate if any other consumers had encountered similar
disappointment at Little Bones, and I found the results distressing. I discovered there is not only a
Facebook page dedicated to crumble outrage, but Piers Morgan has been trending his crumble
dissatisfaction on Twitter, and David Cameron has launched a government campaign dedicated entirely to
the matter of crumble. Even Ed Milliband is in agreement on the matter.
I'm aware that we are in the midst of a triple-dip recession and that certain sacrifices must be made, but is
cutting the crumble really the correct policy? Surely cuts could be made in other departments. For
example is it really necessary to have 18 chickens when only 9 of these are actively productive? This
seems to be a grotesque display of inefficiency. Must the whippet be fed fillet steak? Surely Pedigree
Chum will do. Must the cat eat 5 times a day? Are so many horses really necessary? Perhaps one or two
of these could be retired? I believe that Tesco are currently offering very good rates for ponies. What are
the duties and responsibilities of the cow? Does the cow actually have a purpose other than being a vanity
project to show off to the neighbours that you have a fat, decadent Dexter cow? Additionally, perhaps the
outdoor grounds staff could be trained to work more efficiently. Is it really necessary to have 3 pitchforks
and 2 wheelbarrows when only one member of staff at a time mucks out the fields and stables? These are
questions that must be considered seriously.
Upon further research, my investigators have unearthed that the management have been investing in new
culinary infrastructure that they believe will be more efficient in the long term, such as 'the pineapple
cutter'. Whilst I applaud efficiency in general, I feel that this is a case of 'efficiency- but at what cost?'. I
believe this is one investment in infrastructure too many. I understand that the novelty of such new
technology must be initially appealing to the domestic staff, until they find themselves redundant. It is
essential that we do not lose the craftsmanship and heritage of the crumble, which has been passed down
through the generations. I find this typifies the endemic breakdown of culinary tradition, and a symbol of
the gradual decay of our society: the attitude of 'why bother to make a crumble when this machine will
peel and slice the pineapple for me'. It is essential that we tackle this attitude before the rot eats away to
the very core of our society. In fact, I truly believe that if we do not face the crumble issue now, we, as a
society, are heading for disaster of epic proportions.
In other words: The crumble is a symbol of hope, freedom and democracy. THE PINEAPPLE IS A
WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
I could go on at length with regards to this matter, but it appears that North Korea have just invaded
Market Harborough, so I must keep it brief as Kim Jong Un and his cronies will surely be kicking the
door in any second now, before they march on to take South Kilworth and the neighbouring villages. In
the time I have, I will just say please do what you can to ensure that this deeply disturbing incident is not
repeated in future.
Deeply concerned,
William N W Haynes.

'WILD SWIMMING' Last March, inspired by Kate Rew's book 'Wild Swimming', my friend Anne and I decided to follow in
her footsteps and take the plunge. With one of us fast approaching and one just over 60 we decided it was
time for new adventures .
Purchasing wetsuits was our first big challenge. We searched the internet for a local supplier and found
ourselves at a big warehouse on an industrial estate near Burton on the Wolds. We were greeted by a
young surfer dude bemused by the sight of two grey-haired women, one 5’10 , size 18, the other -5'00,
size 8, asking to be fitted with wetsuits. He was charming and appeared undaunted by this extraordinary
task. At the end of a hilarious morning of wriggling in and out of rubber ware, we both emerged with a
snugly fitting wetsuit. Our salesman enjoyed the experience so much that he gave us both a discount – for
the entertainment we had provided on a quiet Saturday morning!
Next came the task of finding suitable local sites to start the actual swimming. This is not easy here in the
Midlands. We wanted, initially, to swim with experienced open water swimmers. Another internet search
led us to Market Bosworth Water Park and a call to them gave us the times for lake swimming. Arriving
we discovered we were swimming with a triathlon club. After some discussion with a woman at a desk
regarding our competency as swimmers, we were allowed in the water provided we kept in sight of the
organisers. Over the next few weeks we progressed from swimming parallel to the shore to swimming
once round the nearest island whilst the triathletes swam twice around two islands. We were enjoying our
swims and now knew we could swim in a wetsuit without panicking over the cold temperature.
Swimming at Market Bosworth was fun but not quite the atmosphere we were looking for. By chance,
when swimming in the local sports centre, we heard of a small lake on a farm only 10 minutes from
Lutterworth which had just been opened up to swimmers. It was an idyllic setting, encircled by trees, with
cows coming to drink from the bank and it gave us a great sense of freedom and of being at one with
nature. This was beginning to feel more like we’d imagined, although we were still surrounded by yet
another friendly bunch of triathlon swimmers.
Eventually we decided to be even more adventurous and following the notes in the Wild Swimming book
we headed off to Farleigh & District Swimming Club. After a two hour drive we realized that we had not
taken our very soggy summer into account and we found the river in spate with brown surging water
thundering over the weir and danger signs on the trees nearby. Undaunted we decided we needed to find
an alternative. The local library provided the internet and our nearest outdoor swimming venue proved to
be the roof-top pool in Bath Spa! Wet suits were dispensed with and we relaxed in the warm water
looking over Bath Abbey. En route home, we stopped for a swim in the spring-fed outdoor pool at
Cirencester. We'd enjoyed ourselves, swum outdoors but still hadn't found “the realm of freedom,
adventure and magic” described in Kate's book.
Continuing our quest, we went back to the internet and this time it led us to the River Ouse in
Bedfordshire. Here we found what we were looking for– clean flowing water, easy access into the river
from the village green, no triathlon swimmers, in fact, only the two of us were there that day. By
gradually acclimatising ourselves we were able jettison our wet suits. We could see fish beneath us, feel
the gentle stroking of the weeds and acknowledge the glances of the passing swans. There was a
wonderful feeling of freedom and swimming with the river and the natural world surrounding us.
In October we hung our wetsuits up for the winter and returned to indoor swimming to build stamina in
preparation for exploring new sites for the following spring. That time has finally arrived so we are now
busy planning our next series of outdoor swims. If any of you out there want to join us (or contact me for
more information) you'd be very welcome.
