marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

medicines to those in countries where they are not readily available

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

JUNE 1916 On 5 June 1916 Lord Kitchener the British Secretary of War died when the cruiser HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank northwest of the Orkney Islands Kitchener and his staff were on their way to Russia to discuss the progress of the war The Military Service Act (2) was passed by the British Government making all men aged 18-41 liable for conscription into the armed forces In Galicia the Russians under General Brusilov had a major victory over the Austro-Hungarian army On the Western Front preparations were made for the Somme offensive including a British artillery bombardment which started on 24 June and lasted one week The bombardment could be heard across Southern England In the Middle East the Arabs aided by British forces under T E Lawrence carried out a successful revolt against the TurksTwo months before the Arab revolt in April 1916 a Turkish army had taken the town of Kut in Mesopotamia now Iraq 8000 British and Indian troops were captured and force-

marched 500 miles to Aleppo It was during this brutal march around 20 June that a Wendover soldier Edward Thomas Harding died of exhaustion and mal-nourishment Edward Harding a Regular soldier with the 1st Ox and Bucks was the son of George Harding of Aylesbury Road Three Harding brothers were killed in the war

Harry Langford of Boddington Cottage Wendover Dean also died in June 1916 Harry was the son of Frederick and Rosina Langford and was serving with the 11th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment Harry aged 20 was killed in action in the Bethune sector of the Western Front The Wendover Magazine reported that ldquoEveryone liked [Harry] For some time he was in service at Hampden House but when war broke out he at once joined the Armyrdquo

In the Wendover School Log Book the head teacher Mr Molineux recorded a visit from Mr Gomm previously a teacher at the school Mr Gomm had been discharged from the Ox and Bucks after a severe wound to

his shoulder and was now applying to be a despatch rider in the Royal Engineers

The saga of the Public Convenience in Back Street continued Once again the Parish Council was obliged to note that the Convenience had suffered ldquoconsiderable damagerdquo Just why this regular vandalism took place was a mystery then as it is now

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Freya Jones and Lovelia Harrison Wendover Panthers

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

medicines to those in countries where they are not readily available

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

Ken and Karen Cromptons Interiors

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

You Write May 2016On the You Write page (20) of the May 2016 edition of Wendover News a letter was published accusing a Wendover company of a rip-off The usual practice of Wendover News is to allow the accused company to reply in the same edition if at all possible It was the fault of Wendover News that it did not happen on this occasion No company was named but the only Wendover company to identify itself as a High Street carpet retailer is replying below

How can a refund be a rip-offWe were a bit taken aback by the letter that was printed in last monthrsquos Wendover News entitled ldquoWendover Shops - Good Dealrdquo We think it was referring to us here at Cromptons as Mr Neil Shaw recently cancelled an appointment with us - but it wasnrsquot quite as straightforward as presented

We do indeed reserve the right to charge to come out to a customer however this is fully refundable against a subsequent order It is the same charge whether we are measuring for curtains blinds or carpets for one small bedroom or for a whole house prior to placing an order or if someone wants us to visit them in their home to discuss their ideas In this instance Mr Shawrsquos partner came into the shop requesting a measure for an insurance claim We explained that

we charge to visit and why and that this was fully refundable against an order She graciously said she quite understood and was happy to pay

Mr Shaw came in later the same day to say how unhappy he was about paying and requested a refund This we gave without question as we wouldnrsquot want any customer to be unhappy in paying for a service We explained to him that we charge because the whole process of selection visiting measuring and working out and writing up the estimate can take several hours of our time We also explained that if he did not want to pay the visit fee he could send in his own measurements and we would happily work out an estimate for him based on those

We also think that by charging for this service we can discuss with our customers what is best for them Shops who say they provide this service for free need to cover the cost of this time somehow

We think itrsquos a bit harsh to accuse Wendover shops of lsquoripping people offrsquo as we all openly explain the options and any customer can choose what service they want if any

In conclusion can we just say ldquothank yourdquo to all our lovely loyal customers who do support us in Wendover

Ken and Karen Cromptons Interiors

175 More Houses in Wendover Well the objections some 350 to the Worldrsquos EndHalton Lane area Outline Planning Application 1601017AOP are in We now await AVDCrsquos decision on Friday 17 June The initial objection stage was I believe initiated by residents of the most directly affected western area of the community but quite rightly the main emphasis of the objections was the lack of infrastructure to cope with the current population let alone another 175 houses on the extreme outskirts of Wendover

AVDCrsquos decision will not be the end of the matter In the event of refusal no doubt CEG will appeal using its expertise and money Should the application be approved there must be channels for the community to appeal This anticipated next phase needs to have leadership with knowledge expertise and time But by whom The Parish Councils Local District Councillors The Wendover Society A local resident or residents with the necessary expertise experience time and energy

Wendover and Weston Turville need to prepare for either eventuality with urgency as by the time this is published decision day will be about three weeks away

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

medicines to those in countries where they are not readily available

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Perch SpinneyWe are pleased to report that real progress is now being made in Perch Spinney Felling has been completed so as summer approaches more light will filter into the woodland and the trees and forest floor will regenerate and grow Now that the public pathway has been agreed with the Council the fellers have worked hard to create a clear channel up through the Spinney along Halton Lane joining the reservoir footpath and the canal tow path By using this newly established path the public will allow the rest of the forest floor to recover and we look forward in the coming years to see it carpeted in bluebells once more

The plans for Perch Spinney Forest School are now well established and we have managed to secure a highly experienced and licenced Forest School practitioner to lead the sessions Our website perchspinneyorg will very shortly be up and running and we hope by the start of the summer holidays

to be able to offer a range of activities for local children These will be available to view and book on the website The sessions will include overnight camps weekly summer activity camps parties and come September regular slots for local schools to book We hope eventually to offer adult classes too If you or your local school are interested in booking forest school activities of any kind in the Spinney then do please contact us on infoperchspinneyorg ndash we canrsquot wait to welcome our first groups of children into the Spinney to enjoy outdoor learning

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

medicines to those in countries where they are not readily available

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Duchess of Cornwall VisitHer Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall the Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Halton visited the Station on 28 April 2016 Accompanied by Group Captain Adrian Burns Station Commander she visited the Stationrsquos Trinity Community Centre where she met the welfare staff and joined the children enjoying the many activities in the

Centre The Duchess also met a cross-section of Station personnel at a reception in Halton House Officersrsquo Mess The visit concluded with a fly-past by an aircraft from 230 Squadron RAF Benson

Patron of Halton HeritageJust one of the many aspects of RAF Halton is the heritage it holds from the earliest days of aviation when in 1913 the previous owners the Rothschilds invited Kitchenerrsquos Army and the pre-RAF aviators to train there The RAF has been training there since its inception in 1918 and much of its early development was determined by the vision of Viscount Lord Trenchard colloquially known as the lsquofather of the RAFrsquo who set up the RAF Aircraft Apprentices Training School in 1920 The Halton heritage and its huge amount of artefacts which colour its long and illustrious history are now preserved by no less than 4 committees the Heritage Trenchard Museum Halton House and WW1 Trenches Committees

How fitting then that RAF Halton recently sought a new Patron to its wide and varied heritage estate in the form of the 3rd Viscount Lord Hugh Trenchard Honorary Air Commodore and the grandson of the father of the RAF no less

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

medicines to those in countries where they are not readily available

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

HS2 and the House of LordsPetitions for the House of Lords HS2 select committee are in and the process has started 822 petitions were submitted of which 344 asked for a long tunnel through the Chilterns I believe a total of 126 came from Wendover Support for proper mitigation for HS2 has not dwindled We hope that the House of Lords select committee will demonstrate their independence in finding the best solution for usI believe this number shocked the authorities and the promoters Clearly there is a huge time pressure on the promotersgovernment to get this bill through Parliament if they are going to start work in 2017 The governmentrsquos and promoterrsquos response has been to challenge on a wholesale basis some of the petitioners rights to be heard That is to say they do not have locus standi (the right to be heard) because they are not directly and specifically impacted by HS2 A total of 414 challenges (over 50) have been issued By frightening petitioners off they

hope to save time Of course if petitioners chose to contest the challenge then the Select Committee will have to hear them anyway

Eversheds the lawyers issued the challenge notices then HS2 Ltd told some people they would be heard Evershedsrsquo letter trumps the HS2 admin letter the challenges which include 8 MPs still stand It appears that most individuals and some organisations from Wendover have been challenged ndash Wendover Parish Council with Halton Parish Council and the Wendover Society have not so they will probably be heard in July at the earliest

If the challenges are successful then you could argue that the Select Committee will be angry with the promoter for being heavy handed If you have a good case and are directly and specifically impacted then you should fight the challenges The challenges are likely to be heard in the first half of June although no programme has been published yet

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Wendover CelebratedWhat a wonderful day was had by all at Wendover Celebrates 2016 Whoever ordered the weather did a superb job and for many it was the start of the Summer We all hope it wasnrsquot the whole of Summer

Over 200 people took part in the Parade as it walked from Ashbrook to Chiltern Way Federation School via the High Street Hundreds lined the streets and ldquoSilverrdquo the horse ridden by The Lone Ranger whinnied as he entered the High Street Congratulations to Wendover Panthers Cheerleaders who were judged Best in Parade by DSM the major sponsor and whose huge vehicles made a spectacular end stop to the Parade

More than 4000 spectators walked patiently to the field and were wowed by all on view The Wild West theme was a great hit with many stalls and sideshows on offer as well as the different entertainment spaces The gunfighters and other clearly themed acts were much appreciated while the Dog Show brought along many well-behaved pets There were plenty of shows on the Main Stage in the Entertainment Tent and in the Arena A big thank you to BFS Records which offered more music in the afternoon and early evening on the Saloon Stage

Wendover Panthers were all so very excited and happy to be involved in the Wendover Celebrates Parade though our arms ached at the end of it To win the ldquoBest In Paraderdquo was a great surprise and honour for us We would like to thank Wendover Celebrates for including Wendover Panthers in the celebrations and to the Lionel Abel-Smith Trust for the support to help purchase the Panthers T-shirts and matching pompoms Special thanks to Mrs Jo Braid our Year 6 teacher for all the time and encouragement she has shown the whole group The aim is for Year 5 to take over Wendover Panthers in September when they become Year 6 We wish them every luck and hope they enjoy Cheerleading the friendship the team work and the laughs as much as we have See you all at the Wendover Junior School fecircte on 18 June for our next public performance

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Michael Tompsett was born in the London suburb of Newington Green on 5 June 1932 This meant he was one of millions of evacuees during World War 2 three times in fact He then went on to National Service with an Army Commission serving mostly in Germany He married Monica in 1959 and they moved to Wendover in 1960 Michael was orphaned shortly afterwards when only in his 30s and this devastated him but he took care to be in close contact with his extended family including an influential farming uncle in Amersham and families living in North Wales This was where he developed his great affinity with farm animals and dogs

Daughters Nicola and Polly were born into a family where both parents were a strong influence High standards were followed in professional and private life They both saw their father as ldquoa knight in the stories of oldrdquo the hymn of Wendover CofE Middle School when they attended in the 1970s which was therefore a natural choice at Michaelrsquos funeral Words that sprang to mind for them were gallant brave and noble

As a boy Michael had enrolled into the Scout movement and was always loyal to friends made at that time Michael was thrilled to take his whole family on scouting trips to Sinai and Mexico with these friends They continued to holiday together even when frailty started to set in

Michael shared the commute to London with Ian McCraw a Wendover Scout Leader He could never persuade Michael to become involved with this local group Bob Lewis was another commuter who became part of a friendship of half century

Scouting must have influenced this very private man to always support his community The English gentleman in him allowed this to be done discretely Organisations which benefitted included Wendover Memorial Hall and Choral Society Wendover Tennis and Squash Club Wendover Middle School PTA Guides and Brownies Young Wives

NADFAS Hartwell RDA Wendover Deanery His accountancy training was very useful to many local businesses shops and individuals not all known to the family The books were always immaculately done He also audited meticulously He knew that every penny counts at work and at home

When his daughters married he bonded with his sons-in-law in his own quiet way He was thrilled when his grandchildren arrived - Abigail Cador Hafina Lili Lloerhian Serreni As one grandchild said - His outward appearance was really scary until you go for a walk and he pulled out a bag of doughnuts and said ldquoDonrsquot tell Mummyrdquo He was never happier than when walking with his dog Coombe Hill Wellwick Farm Boddington Hill - sliced Mars bars at the ready He really enjoyed the company of his young grandchildren including being a willing chauffeur

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago and passed away on 15 February 2016 Donations if desired to Care International UK Meacutedecins Sans Frontiegraveres Parkinsons UK or Abbeyfield Care Homes

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Robert DugganChair of Wendover Parish Council

Page 25: Wendover News June 2016

Richard is from North Lincolnshire and attended Sheffield University completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 He was a Project Manager for GlaxoSmithKline in Harlow Essex where he met Rosie In 2003 they were married in Antigua only yards from the beach They have two children Oliver (10) and Imogen (8) A job opportunity arose in Long Crendon in 2009 and Wendover seemed like the perfect location especially as Rosie has a twin sister who lives in Hyde Heath

Richard has had a varied career and for the past decade he has held numerous roles within the cold chain industry essentially the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world He is well known within the industry and regularly writes white papers and technical reports on hot topics as well as facilitating training courses and providing consultancy support Eventually Richard hopes to work for a Non-Governmental Organisation such as UNICEF supporting the supply of lifesaving

medicines to those in countries where they are not readily available

In Wendover Richard has a number of roles mainly thanks to Oliver and his sporting activities As well as coaching the U10s age group at Wendover Junior Football Club he has been the clubrsquos secretary for the past three seasons supporting the chairman and the dozens of age group managers and coaches as well as ensuring that the many teams across 11 age groups are all affiliated to the appropriate leagues and the FA The biggest commitment is the clubrsquos annual tournament the main fundraiser for the club Nearly 250 teams enter the tournament each year over 1frac12 days in mid-late June The organisation for such an event takes a lot of effort but the satisfaction on the Sunday afternoon at the end of another successful year is so rewarding

Richard is Juniors Manager for Wendover Cricket Club and supports group managers and coaches for children aged 5 to 17 sitting on the clubrsquos management committee Their outdoor season runs from April to July extended by organising winter nets in February and March Most training sessions take place on a Saturday morning at both grounds and there are regularly 80 plus children at the joint under 7s and 9s session The pavilion serves teas coffees and snacks for all along with the BBQ cooking bacon and sausage sarnies a well-deserved treat after a long week at work

Richard is also an active member of St Maryrsquos church sitting on the PCC regularly involved in services and social events He manages Movies St Marys for both the younger and older generations of the community His most memorable part of church life (besides his confirmation a few years ago) has to be his role as Joseph in the crib service for the past three years In addition he sometimes plays football and golf with friends and runs

View from the ChairThe new Parish Council year has started and my fellow Councillors have again voted me in as Chair of the Council for which of course Irsquom very grateful However we currently have only 11 councillors (we should have 13) If you are interested ndash especially if you are between careers or you have a special skill you think could be useful - any age any skill but especially a willingness to try something new please get in touch with the Clerk at the Clock Tower

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care

Robert DugganChair of Wendover Parish Council

Community OrchardThe new Notice Board designed by Parish Councillors and created by local artist Wendy Lewis is a pictorial representation of the four seasons and commemorates the fallen of Wendover in the Great War The Board is sited next to the Heron Path opposite the current Information Board

Wendover Celebrates 2016 seems to have taken place months ago but as I write itrsquos less than 2 weeks It was a fantastic turnout by the community both from Wendover and far and wide The weather held out and as a result we will soon be able to announce by how much charities will benefit from the success of the event Thanks must go to the committee volunteers and directors of Wendover Celebrates who put in an incredible amount of time and effort to make sure everything went to plan Each year is different and WC2018 will be different again Anybody interested in being involved by becoming a director or volunteer ndash even two years in advance - will be welcomed on to the team The team will never be too big so whether you are into site management entertainment event management or just want to be involved let me know and we can start planning

Sadly we have had several instances of vandalism on Parish Council property

Having just spent many thousands of pounds on play equipment at Ashbrook Park some delightful youngsters piled up earth inside the tube making it impossible for children to play A local resident kindly cleared it up Then probably the same people decided to tip yoghurt and crisps down the same chute ndash again making it unusable until somebody else cleared it up Irsquove had a similar report of youngsters making play equipment unusable at PMG estate leaving around paraphernalia cigarettes and generally preventing children from playing on the equipment because either it is unusable or they are too frightened

In my view this behaviour is totally unacceptable I have been in discussion with the John Colet School management as well as Thames Valley Police Hopefully this behaviour will cease We are also finding a lot of broken glass at the skate park If these incidents continue please take photographs of the culprits so that appropriate action can be taken Send them to me I in turn will forward them onto JCS and TVP People have to realise that we ndash the community ndash have paid for these assets and like anything we own we must look after things in our care
