Clergy Letter from Rev’d Peter Bristow THE CHALLENGE OF PRAYER: THE RENEWAL OF POLITICS. From the comfort of our living rooms we are witnessing the disintegration of large parts of the Middle East. In addition to recent wars following hard on decades of despotic rule, corrupt government and the historical compromises of 19th and 20th century geopolitical arrangements, we stand helplessly by as millions of people suffer the brutalising consequences of inadequate government and the evils of Islamic fundamentalism. Some are feeling angry that so many of our young soldiers have died in Iraq and Afghanistan and are asking, what was the point of their sacrifice? Nearer to home the debate about Scottish independence begins to intensify as does the debate about whether or not the UK should stay in European Community. With regards to the latter issues there is even the irony that some politicians can hold to the principles of ‘unity’ and ‘separation’ at the same time. At this time we are also commemorating significant events from two world wars and remembering the immense and heroic suffering and efforts of our fathers and grandfathers. It is no wonder we feel confused and, given our relative prosperity, even guilty, before the insurmountable problems of our world. We can just shrug our shoulders and say these great matters of national and international concern are beyond us and are the responsibility of the political classes. The impasse we can feel when facing crises beyond our control and sphere of influence can lead to a passive sense of indifference and inevitability. This cannot
be the attitude of the believing Christian. Jesus Christ is Lord of the world and universe, the victory over evil and death is already His. If we cannot surrender these worldly situations to God through our prayer, then He cannot produce new solutions and bring about new and exciting possibilities for peace through us. The world is not God’s chess board, He invites us to co-operate with Him and our prayer relationship with Him is crucial. We are the hands, feet, eyes and mouth of Christ today. The whole of the Bible speaks to us of a God who loves us with immeasurable love, who calls us to know Him and love Him in return. At the beginning of the Book of Genesis we are reminded that there was ‘original grace’ before there was ‘original sin’ and that in creating men and women, God was blessing humanity with divine authority to echo His ways and create loving community and harmony on earth. It is only when we bring the ‘hopelessness’ and ‘helplessness’ of the world and ourselves to God in prayer, to the perspective of the God who loves us, that we can see how our society can begin to change and become aware of the freedom, healing and new vision which is forever God’s invitation to us. In the face of so much suffering the question arises, ‘But does God hear our prayer?’. God is in us and where we are, God is. Through prayer we can begin to see worldly matters from His perspective. Through prayer we can begin to understand His intentions and see something of His solutions to the problems and challenges we are facing. Continued on page 5

Without our faith in Christ’s victory over death and its articulation in prayer, the human condition and its politics would remain irredeemable. The selfishness and corruption of sectional interests are forever present, but it is our prayer that inspires, challenges and generates new life. The path to God which is not a way back to our neighbours in places such as Syria and Iraq is a denial of the God who is always with us; and He is a God who saves. God is not only concerned for our spiritual welfare, He is the God of everything. Our prayer is about transforming the face of the earth into the face of Christ. It is about challenging the corruption of politics and it is especially about the renewal of politics.
overwhelming importance of what is good, true and wholesome. Prophecy, the gift of being able to read and understand the signs of the time (so consequently sometimes ‘foretelling’ what might be) arises out of our prayer, and the prophet is the one who breaks open the good – but challenging – news of God’s living, loving word for the people of our day. Our prayer can overcome the brutalising forces of ISIS and the corruption of power politics by channelling and focussing God’s love through us to a situation. It is through prayer that we discover in Christ the God who is truth and goodness and is none other than our neighbour in need, crying out to be saved and healed.
St. Thomas Aquinas said, through prayer we open our minds and hearts to the
The Rev. Peter E. Bristow
THANK YOU FOR THE SCARECROW TRAIL Sunday the 22nd June 2014 proved to be a real community occasion. The village streets and byways were crowded and villagers went to parts of Bramham they hadn’t been to before or for years. All generations were out and about and they enjoyed being together. And all this togetherness was brought about by the Scarecrow Trail and thanks must go to Lin Tritschler for the imagination and to all who provided the joyful and expressive scarecrows. We live in a time when communal joys need to be revalued and restored. We need to treasure our sense of place because it shapes us and is fundamental to who we are. It also reminds us that we share this place with our neighbours. Sharing is one of the great community joys and the Scarecrow Trail gave us the experience of sharing as being about enjoyment in common with our neighbours. These relationships need to be developed and sustained. Sunday the 22nd June set the marker high. Let us keep it there. Revd Stanley Menzies

7 LADIES OF THE BENEFICE RETREAT AT WYDALE HALL Rest, Recuperation and………Rain!!!! The weather did its best for 48 hours over 3 days to dampen the experience for 12 ladies and Rev Trish. Wydale Hall also did its best with food, comfort and friendship during the same 3 days and Wydale won! As a new venture for many of the ladies, the retreat was just what they wanted - rest and recuperation; but they could have done without the rain. The merry band of twelve ladies, many of whom did not know each other, managed to strike up many a lively conversation in the lovely library and cosy sofa in the hallway. The benefice seemed a smaller and more intimate place at the end of the time there. With an accent on ‘Ladies’ there was story time with the Book of Ruth, a time shift explanation of Ruth’s experience with her Mother-in-law and the redemption of God’s people in Jesus and his sacrifice for us all. The ‘activities’ concluded with a time to listen and reflect on passages from the Bible featuring women. Time was measured by Morning Prayer and Night Prayer- a timeless cycle that wraps around all our days and the world. There was a space made for everyone to celebrate the Eucharist on the final morning. You can’t imagine how much chatting, eating and drinking was fitted into the spaces between activities, walking (yes, in the rain) and dozing! All of this seemed to suit our Ladies of the Benefice to such an extent that it seems likely to become an annual event. Perhaps you would like to join us next May? Rev’d Trish

Stepping Stones July’s Stepping Stones was a celebration of the end of the school year. Everybody sat in the early evening sunshine enjoying fish & chips in Bramham’s wonderful Church yard. Afterwards, everyone was able to enjoy a cup of tea or juice, whilst Reverend Andy told the story of Daniel in the lion’s den. The story is an interesting one, recounting the vanity of a king who thought he should be worshipped rather than God. Daniel who continued to pray to God was thrown into the lion’s den for defying the king. Of course it all went wrong, and God saved the day (and Daniel) by keeping the lion’s mouth shut. The king realised his error, and Daniel was not eaten, unlike the fantastic fish & chips (sorry you didn't get a sausage Thomas!) provided with thanks by Kirkgate Fish & chip shop in Tadcaster. Whilst on the subject of thanks, we forgot to acknowledge the support given to us by Cyclesense in Tadcaster for providing a bike for the scarecrow display last month. Thank you Cyclesense.. The Stepping Stones children attend Bramham, Boston Spa (St Mary’s and Primrose Lane) and Thorp Arch schools. More children are attending, and these sessions are becoming increasingly popular. The theme for Stepping Stones is always linked to the Family Service the following Sunday – these services are very relaxed and child friendly. Any child is welcome to attend regardless of if they attend any Church or not. It is simply a way of meeting other families in a relaxed friendly environment. We are having a break for summer; the next session is on Friday 12th September at All Saints Church - 5.30pm. The Family Service takes place at All Saints every second Sunday (14th September) at 10am. For more information please contact Jennie Saynor jen@saynor.me.uk.

11 BRAMHAM GALA This years Gala was held on Saturday June 28th and despite the rain lots of people came along. Those that were there were treated to a fantastic display from Ben Potters Birds of Prey display which included a vulture that wanted to walk everywhere and a falcon that flew around the arena and swooped down to the handler missing heads by inches!!
The Supreme Starlets Majorettes once again gave two great performances, we really appreciate their support as they have been with us almost since we started the Galas. The NSPCC laid on a superb barbecue with burgers and hot dogs, we are pleased to say that they sold out so clearly everyone enjoyed the food. The beer tent was busy and we had lager as well as real ale laid on. Music from Nyk, Keith and Fiona entertained the customers in the bar until well into the late afternoon. There were plenty of stalls and sideshows along with traditional games such as the coconut shy and splat the rat, Bouncy castles and Zorb Balls. Thanks to all the groups that came and had a stall. I want to thank all the helpers. We are lucky to have people in the village who are willing to help us setting up, running it and dismantling. For helping setting up dismantling I would like to thank lots of people including Chris & Bob Gibson, Mark & Jo Ogden, Emma, Kieran & Rob Sanderson, Chris & Mick Wray, Reg McDonald, Ian Dalton, Emma Hunter and Paul Topping.

BRAMHAM IN BLOOM
Unfortunately I was not around for the weekend but did manage to see most of the displays on the Monday.
We had our usual stall at the Gala and raised just £1 short of £200. Many thanks for your support by purchasing the plants. Hope they are growing well!
No I wasn’t impressed I was overwhelmed by the number of entries the quality, and ingenuity of the designers.
As in the past the plants were provided by Leeds City Council Parks and Countryside at no cost to us.
As the organizer, I am sure Lin must have been very pleased with the result which gave a lot of pleasure to the residents and the children in particular.
A Great Event Ernest Nichols
Many thanks to Keith and his team for all their hard work in preparing for the Gala, which was, as usual not only very entertaining but gave a great feeling of “community” Looking forward to next year. Bramham in Bloom Committee

July 2014 Update ....communica ng with residents
To all Bramham residents: Here is the update from our July Parish Council meeting, and latest developments: Bramham celebrations: We would like to thank the NSPCC committee for organising a wonderful weekend in Bramham to celebrate the Tour de France, with the French evening, scarecrow trail, and picnic. And thank you to all of the other village groups that took part. This really was Bramham at its best, with everyone coming together to make it a very special time. Thank you too, to Keith Innocent and the Community Action Group for putting on another excellent gala, the amount of hard work that goes into this is amazing. It was also good to see some new residents becoming involved, do contact Keith if you are interested in helping with future events. Pavilion: We have appointed a Quantity Surveyor to produce a schedule of works to complete the pavilion. We have requested documentation from the BSLA with regards to the build that would help us to progress matters quickly and avoid incurring some significant costs but unfortunately this has so far not been forthcoming. We will continue to press ahead with the outstanding works and assure you that it will be done as quickly as possible. We will keep you updated on progress. Playground: We reported last month that our application for a grant from Grantscape towards refurbishment of the playground was unsuccessful. We are now investigating other possible sources of grants, before considering a reduced cost alternative or using more of the option monies. Leeds Festival: Councillor Fiona Henderson is maintaining a waiting list for anyone who was unsuccessful in the ticket allocation. Further details with regards to ticket delivery etc. will be updated on our website www.thisisbramham.co.uk. Next Meeting: The Parish Council does not meet in August, but we will still be progressing all of the issues above. Next meeting is Wednesday 3rd September, 7.30 pm in the Senior Citizens’ Centre. We hope you find this update useful. If you would like to read more detailed information about items discussed, the minutes of the meeting can be found on our parish notice board and on Bramham Parish Council’s official website www.thisisbramham.co.uk.

19 YORKSHIRE COUNTRYWOMEN’S ASSOCIATION Our speaker in June was Sarah Grindall from Yorkshire Water who gave us a very interesting talk, with slides on all aspects of the supplying of our water, including advice on how to save it. June was a busy month for us with first our serving of refreshments at the Senior Citizens Centre on Bramham Scarecrow Day and then our cake stall at Bramham Gala.
Both these efforts were a great success, entirely due to all our members who contributed so generously with their time and, not least, so many cakes! There will be no meeting in August but we have been invited to join Shadwell Branch for afternoon tea and get-together on Friday 8th August at 2 pm in Shadwell Village Hall. Any members wishing to go or needing a lift, please contact the Committee. Jean Dale
STROLL IN THE PARK 2014 Despite the weather doing all it could to disrupt proceedings we want to thank all of the brave souls that came to the Stroll in the Park on Saturday the 19th. Your kind support turned what might have been a tragedy into another enjoyable event. We are most grateful to all of you who brought cakes and buns that went well with the hot drinks and helped swell the funds. Yorkshire strawberries which were supplied by Makin’s at Garforth were a big hit with all who indulged. There were star appearances from Rachel Foster our face painter and Simon Noble, our church organist, and his friends. A big thank you to our band of loyal and very hard working volunteers without whom we would not have survived. The Raffle Prize of a family ticket to the Bramham Horse Trials in 2015 kindly donated by Mr Nick and the Honorable Mrs Rachel Lane-Fox was won by a pink ticket number 450. Chips Browning

25 YORKSHIRE IN BLOOM SUMMER JUDGING Again the sun shone and the flowers throughout the village looked at their best. A big thank you is due to all our gardeners and helpers for all their hard work. The judges were delighted with the displays at Bowcliffe Road as they entered the village. The Vicar’s scarecrow ‘stand-in’ could be seen admiring the colourful troughs at the church gate. The Jubilee Garden, the Milnthorpe and Wetherby Road beds were shown off to their best in the glorious sunshine. In and around the Village Square the flower beds, baskets and planters looked very attractive. Looking from the Cattle Ramp gardens the judges made favourable comments regarding the bridge and wall baskets and the hanging baskets along Front Street. Apart from the floral displays one of the highlights of the judging was a visit to the Primary School. They were impressed with the plants that the children were growing and that they ate the fresh produce at school. The children were very knowledgeable and the judges commented on their maturity and politeness. Clearly the school, as with the church, plays a very important part in the award that is given to the village. Bramham in Bloom are very grateful to APC Clothing for sponsoring our new hi viz waistcoats for all our gardeners in the village and at the Primary School. Continued on page 26

Many residents came to chat to the judges as we passed time in the Senior Citizens’ Garden. The skeleton on his yellow bike observed the proceedings having missed Le Grand Depart to France! We will not receive the overall result until September but we have high hopes for a favourable result for our community. Bramham in Bloom Committee

Last month our members were invited for afternoon tea and entertainment by teachers and students at Tadcaster Grammar School. The cakes were made by one of the teachers and were absolutely delicious! It was a lovely afternoon and enjoyed by all. There was a free raffle with some lovely prizes and lots of the group went home with beautiful vases of flowers. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Headmaster, the Teachers involved and the Students who put on such a lovely afternoon for us, and entertained us so professionally. Mavis Wilson

29 N.S.P.C.C BRAMHAM CELEBRATES TOUR DE FRANCE Bramham Community celebrated the Grand Tour and raised money for the NSPCC. The NSPCC committee would like to thank all the community groups, businesses, individuals and village school who made the weekend such a success. Your generosity has raised close to ÂŁ3,000 for the Charity.
There was a waiting list for the sell-out French Evening in Bramham Village Hall on Saturday night. 140 guests were treated to a champagne reception, followed by a four course meal which had been prepared and served by the 10 strong Bramham NSPCC committee. As if this was not enough, non stop entertainment with a French / Yorkshire flavour was provided throughout the evening by local talent. The cafe scene was set by the accordion duo George Syrett and Sue Wilkinson, the lights dimmed and we were transported to the Parisian nightclub scene. Alison Mackie's troupe of 8 local volunteers" Les Folies de Bramham" made their world debut and raised the roof with their titillating high kicking can can dancing. They were undaunted by the interloper, Matt Suddaby's cameo appearance in the third act. Continued on page 31

Bramham Drama Group, once again, showed their versatility with three hilarious Allo Allo sketches ably led by newcomer Rob Freeman in the part of Rene. Cabaret style singer Terri -Ann Prendergast ( a Princes Trust supported business) powerfully delivered a medley of well known numbers and the evening was ably rounded off with a mixture of humour and song, by local Ian Gomersall. Sunday morning saw over 70 scarecrows springing up around the streets and gardens of Bramham. The whole village came alive as throngs of family groups meandered around the village admiring the talents and creativity of their fellow residents. Glorious weather was a bonus for the Yorkshire Countrywomen who served refreshments from the picturesque Senior Citizens centre. We certainly hope to repeat this event next year.
Please will you forward any digital photographs to Neil Ferres who has kindly volunteered to produce a souvenir of the occasion. nferres1100@gmail.com. Maybe there will be an opportunity later in the year to display your printed photos at a coffee morning. A large crowd finished off a highly successful community weekend by turning up on the playing Field with a rug, a picnic and some garden games to share with their neighbours. Lin Tritschler

WiSE (Wetherby in Support of the Elderly) is a registered charity overseen by a Board of Trustees. We are currently looking for new Trustees to help support the work we do. If you are interested in joining us, the questions and answers below may help you. What skills/abilities should I have if I want to become a Trustee? You will need to be interested in helping to develop work to support older people in Wetherby and the surrounding villages. You might already be a volunteer or have heard about our work from others. You don't need to have a particular skill but if you have then that would be great. What time commitment is involved? The Trustees meet once a month to keep an eye on the strategic development of WiSE's work within the community and, in particular, its relationship with its funder Leeds City Council. In addition to these meetings Trustees also sit on one or more sub committees which focus on specific areas. Most of our existing Trustees are also volunteers with WiSE but that is not a requirement if you want to be a Trustee. How do I find out more? You might want to talk it through with someone before you express an interest. If so please contact Dave Masterman, Chair of Trustees, at the following email address; d.masterman@w-ise.org.uk

Thought for the Month What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. Confucious
Our August Smile - A TRUE YORKSHIRE MAN!! A Saudi Prince was very ill and had a very rare blood group. His doctors searched all over the world for a match and finally found a man in Bramham and asked if he would give blood to the Prince. Being a good Bramham man he agreed instantly. Two days after the Prince’s operation the Bramham man looked in his drive and saw a Ferrari, in his letter box were the deeds for a mansion and when he looked in his bank account there was a deposit of £200,000. The next day the Prince phoned to see if his gifts were sufficient for saving has life. Naturally the Bramham man said that he was more than satisfied. The Prince was pleased and gave him his phone number so that he could call if there was anything that the man ever needed in the future A year later the Prince was taken ill again and they asked the man if he would contribute blood again - naturally the man was delighted to agree. 6 months later a box of chocolates was delivered to the man with a note from the Prince thanking him for saving his life again. The man thought that he might have missed something and phoned the Prince. “No mistake lad tha nows as got Yorkshire blood in mi veins Na.” said the Prince.
