Bramham Parish Council www.thisisbramham.co.uk
As we come to terms with the new ways of life which fighting the Coronavirus has forced on us all, one of its impacts has been the holding of government meetings. Parish Councils are part of government, so we have had to wait for the Coronavirus Act to make its way through Parliament and for the Local Government Associations to work their way through the legislation to offer us guidance as to how we must operate at present. The Act came into force on Monday April 6 and by Wednesday morning the advice was being distributed. In short, whilst we cannot have physical meetings of groups, the decision now is to have “virtual� meetings using IT. This will enable contribution and discussion from council members, and the possibility of contribution from the public where practicable; all of which has to be enabled and made to work for everyone. The Parish Council Meeting for April was scheduled for Wednesday evening 8 April, so this new advice meant that a deferment of the meeting to achieve the mechanisms of holding it was inevitable. Council members will now decide what system of Video Conferencing works best for all concerned. We are very fortunate that no critical decisions are imminent, and that the relevant financial mechanisms are in place to enable the Council to continue its regular business. The Parish Council now has a Facebook Page on which we will endeavour to update Residents in a more immediate timeframe. .

It is important that residents know that the Council continues to function albeit in a different way. Matters of concern still can be raised with the Council who in turn will pursue them with the relevant authorities in Leeds City Council or elsewhere. Government continues, just at a distance. We will update you regularly as our technical know-how and experience advances into this new virtual world Linda Richards
Thank you for the Music When the present crisis is over and we are all allowed out again, I am looking forward to the resumption of the Lunchtime Concerts at Boston Spa Methodist Church. These are held on the second Friday of each month at 1pm and last for an hour. Tickets cost ÂŁ5 on the door. There is a chance to listen to some really first class music from a diverse selection of professional singers and musicians. An additional bonus is the availability of delicious home-made light lunches from 12- 1pm. Highly recommended! Jillian Lawson

THE CHURCHYARD PROJECT A couple of years ago we discussed a new Data base for the Churchyard, a good map/plan of the old graves in the churchyard which would record the many names of those mentioned on grave stones. This scheme has not been forgotten but lack of time and helpers put this idea on the back burner. We hope to begin again and if you are interested in the history of our churchyard do get in touch with Neil Ferres 845274

They will be providing us with fund raising ideas including “e -envelopes� to make donating easy! At this stage we can only say look out for what we manage to implement to support Christian Aid to help other countries in the face of this pandemic.

THE CARE OF THE CHURCHYARD BRAMHAM Churchyard is looking quite wonderful at the moment and many people are helping to keep the grass mown. Special thanks to Marc and Sam Mottershead. We have removed the dustbins from near to the church porch as people were putting in broken glass, this nearly caused a major accident the other day. PLEASE DO NOT PUT broken glass and crocks etc in the dustbin. Take it home with you. The big builders sacks are for grass clippings and proper flowers only as the contents are then composted by the farmer. DO NOT PUT IN WREATHS, OASIS, WIRE, florists paper, plastic etc., Please take this rubbish home and place in your own dustbins. Thank you. Churchyard Rules—a copy is on the Church notice board by the Lych Gate.

Memories of Whitsuntide at All Saints.
Whenever I sit in the choir stalls with St Mary’s Choir at All Saints I am reminded of the occasions when as a small boy I served on the altar on Whit Sunday. You may well ask how come a small boy from Leeds came to be serving on the altar at a church in Bramham? My family worshipped at St Aidan’s church in Leeds, world famous for the Frank Brangwyn mosaic, where by coincidence I was also a server on the altar. I was also a Scout at St Aidan’s and every Whitsuntide we camped in Bramham Park. Memory fails me as to how the connection was made to allow Scouts from Leeds to camp in the park. I’m guessing that the Rev Frank Mitchell, who moved from St Aidan’s to become vicar at All Saints could be the link, or maybe Col Lane Fox as President of Central Yorkshire Scouts had ties with St Aidan’s. I vividly remember a large county camp in the park when I met the Chief Scout, Lord Rowallan, and discussed the merits of cooking sausages in a string or individually. In 1958 I took out my first warrant as a leader in the Scout Movement and now after 60 years’ service to the movement I have many memories of my involvement with young people. When I married and moved to Clifford I was still running the troop at St Aidan’s but was soon approached by the District Commissioner to start a Scout Troop at St John’s School for the Deaf in Clifford. As the years moved on I became involved with the Venture Scout section and later accepted the role of Assistant County Commissioner (Venture Scouts). This gave me the opportunity to lead expeditions to the High Atlas in Morocco and
19
20
to work on a community project in Kenya. Throughout this time I was supported by my wife, Wendy, but in 1994 tables were turned as she was asked by the Chief Scout to become County Commissioner of Central Yorkshire Scouts with the responsibility for Scouting in the Leeds and Wakefield Metropolitan Area. This was a break with tradition as she was the first woman to hold such a position in Yorkshire. Our time together in Scouting resulted in us both being recognised for our services by the award of The Silver Wolf by the Chief Scout. I am still involved with Scouting but only in an administration capacity as I administer the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. I guess my most poignant memory of my time in scouting is a photograph of when we went to St James’s Palace to assist at an award ceremony for DofE Gold Award holders and met Prince Philip. In the UK Scouting continues to flourish and with a worldwide membership of 31 million Baden Powell’s experimental camp on Brownsea Island has enriched the lives of so many in 216 countries worldwide.

COMMUNITY SINGALONG
Once the present restrictions are over we intend to start again with SING BRAMHAM and if the V E Day Celebrations are planned for a later date then we will enjoy providing the Sing along to go with the special event. If you enjoy singing why not come along and join us, we sing for fun and the World War II songs are perfect for this. Prior to the Covid-19 we had made a start—songs sheets had been prepared and all we needed was some rehearsal time. Do come along and join us when we start again. Sopranos, Tenors and Bass voices will be particularly welcome. Lynne Marshall 844767
Ladies of the Benefice – a word from Revd Trish Watching the course of the COVID 19 virus I am worried. As you can well imagine Revd Trish and Wydale Hall would not want any of you to come to harm. It would seem to make sense to postpone our retreat. Ahhhh! I have not cancelled it, but in light of all the uncertainty I think it would be best to put it back to the end of September or the beginning of October. I have not booked a date yet but wait a few weeks to see the lie of the land. I will give you all plenty of notice when I book the new dates.

Well, we come to the beginning of May 2020! Writing this letter in April , not knowing what May will bring in the way of what is to be asked of us as a nation, I hardly know how to continue. I can assume that in global terms we are still going to be embroiled in the middle of a pandemic of monumental proportions and we will still be praying for those who are suffering and those who are tending to the sufferers in all manner of ways. I am just going to reflect on what was being asked of us, in this country. There were people asked to step up to the line and volunteer; those who were asked to continue in their jobs in the face of great risk of contracting the dreaded virus and those who were asked to stay at home. Each group was asked to play their part in the nation’s battle for health. I am not sure which category you came into, but I trust you were one of the millions who did as they were told. The ones who listened to the bulletins from the government and health representatives and complied with their wishes. It is a little like being a child again. The dos and don’ts of childhood felt almost as restricting at times and equally as frustrating at other times. Why was I not allowed to play in the street when others could; why did I have to pack up and go to bed in the middle of a good game? Why must I go and do errands for my of mum and neighbours and yet not be able to go to the shops on my own with my pocket money? Why must I always remember to say please and thank you for everything? I am sure you have as many tales of childhood rules and restrictions as I have and found them as aggravating as I did. And here we are having our lives restricted again in adulthood! Instead of our parents teaching us how to behave to make us model citizens, we now have our government and health officials telling us how to behave to make us model citizens for the good of all.
28
As with all rules and regulations there are those who fly in the face of authority and test the boundaries. Did you notice those who chose to sunbathe instead doing healthy exercise; those who gathered ingroups to chat and those who gave abuse to shopworkers and other keyworkers? The newscasters seemed to make a point of showing us the ‘naughty children’! Well how good are you at keeping to the rules? There are so many laws, bylaws and directives that we should comply with that we are bound to slip up with something. Jesus gave us all such simple but all-encompassing rules to live by :‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ And ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the different pieces of advice that suddenly became rules and regulations over the past few weeks, that felt like intrusions on our liberty are very easily seen to be covered by something Jesus gave us 2000years ago! If ,now in May, we are still being ‘advised’ by our officials, try looking at it as if God is asking us to love our neighbours as ourselves and if we are using all our souls, minds and strength to do God’s wishes then all the other rules slip into place. God loves us enough to keep things simple:- love God with all your being and love your neighbour as yourself! Keep safe and healthy! Revd Trish
DO YOU WISH YOU COULD TALK TO SOMEONE IN CONFIDENCE? The small Pastoral Care Team have people with experience of helping the bereaved and people with other concerns.

BRAMHAM IN BLOOM
Lovely sunny weather ……. Spring has definitely sprung!!! However it is causing some difficulties. If there is anyone who can help with watering please can you contact Lynne on 844767. We already have some dedicated volunteers but a few more would help particularly if the dry spell continues. I am very pleased with flower displays around the village. As you walk around Bramham all the gardens are very colourful and show great care. We have seen lovely daffodils, snowdrops and polyanthus and now we have red tulips standing tall and graceful. As the Arium is closed there will be no summer plants. Hopefully in the Autumn we will be able to prepare the beds for winter planting. Community activities are also on hold for the present time. Help with some work would be gratefully accepted ……litter picking and other small jobs etc. Thank you Keith Howland for beginning to mow and Scott Jones for watering the rockery on Lyndon Road Any comments or suggestions you may have please post them on We are Bramham or to me lynne1999wynrush@gmail.com Thank you from Lynne Kate Ann Rochelle and Alison.

2020: WHO’s Year of the Nurse When the WHO (World Health Organisation) decided to make 2020 the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, they based it on the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth on 12th May 1820. But with the arrival of the coronavirus, it is a remarkably apt year to celebrate all that nurses do for us. As the ICN (International Council of Nurses) says: “All around the world, nurses are working tirelessly to provide the care and attention people need, whenever and wherever they need it. Nurses are central to the delivery of health care; nurses are making an invaluable contribution to the health of people globally.” Nursing as a vocation goes back to the Early Church. When plague struck the Roman world in the third century, it was Christians who tended the sick and dying, often at great personal cost. Their self-sacrifice made a huge impression on Roman society. Centuries later, in medieval Europe, it was the monastic orders that provided health care. Still centuries later, during the Crimean War (1853-56) Florence Nightingale saved thousands of lives when she transformed the field hospitals, hugely improving the standards of care for wounded and dying soldiers. In fact, Florence Nightingale deserves the credit for establishing the modern profession of nursing and its structures of training. Although of course medical science has advanced since her time, the basic ethos of nursing care remains today close to Nightingale’s vision. Nursing is frequently described as a vocation, and it is one to which many Christians are called. Nightingale wrote of being ‘called’ by God, after having had a vivid religious conversion as a teenager. Writing in February 1837, she stated: “God has spoken to me and called me to His Service.”
35
Continued from page 35
Four years before going to Crimea, she studied at a Lutheran religious community in Germany which trained deaconesses in medical skills, nursing, and theology. Many of the ideas that Nightingale adopted for her nurses came from that religious community. Thus, Nightingale’s training programme was not solely devoted to secular medical sciences. Her student nurses were required to attend chapel, and her nurses read prayers on the wards. Nightingale wrote many letters of spiritual encouragement to her students. To one, she wrote that Christ considered it an “honour to serve the poorest and the meanest… He will not give His crown except to those who have borne His cross… Enduring hardship is what He encourages and rewards.” The Bishop of London, the Rt Revd Sarah Mullally trained and worked as a nurse before being appointed to senior positions in the Health Service. She was Chief Nursing Officer for England between 1999 to 2004. She says: “I became a Christian as a teenager and wanted to follow Christ with my whole life. Rather than having two careers, I have had one vocation: to follow Jesus Christ, to know Him, and to make Him known.” Certainly, of all the professions, nursing has one of the strongest claims to being rooted in the Gospel. Christian nurses implicitly witness to Christ in caring for others.
….and a huge thankyou to all the Doctors, Nurses, Carers, and everyone working in the Hospitals and Nursing Homes in this area looking after us all. 36
