Trentside Correspondence Democracy at Work? Despite a petition signed by 43 residents, the support of the local parish council and numerous individual objections, the village of Fenton is about to get something that it doesn’t want or need – a set of three 2- storey industrial buildings on Grice's Yard. At a recent public meeting, West Lindsey’s planning committee was meant to consider all of the pros and cons but those of us who attended came away with the distinct impression that the committee simply rubber-stamped the planning officer’s recommendation to approve the application. The officer’s report was written several weeks in advance of the meeting and objections submitted after the report was written were simply brushed aside in the meeting minutes as having already been addressed in the report. One committee member’s qualifications for approving the proposal was that he had driven past the site, once a week on a Sunday, for 40 years and could not understand what the problem was with the proposed development. Astonishingly, this view, as it turned out, carried more weight than those of residents who have each had daily
I
read with interest your article on Philip Bruce Minnitt, particularly the bit about his father, Bernard. Over many years I have compiled a list of recipients of both the MC and MM of which Bernard is one. I have a copy of his MM citation whilst serving with the 11th Battalion Sherwood Foresters at Le Sars, a copy of his MC citation whilst a lieutenant in the KRRC and a copy of his medal index card. I also remember that in the main Nottingham library there is a 'book' written by Bernard Minnitt on his experiences during WW1. There were two portrait photos in this 'book' but they were only a very dark photocopy, it could have been anyone. I have been trying to find a photo of Bernard since then and have had to make do with the copy from
experience of the site of more than 30 years. The site developer did not consult any affected residents or the parish council on what was proposed. The muchreferred-to NPPF (National Planning Policy Framework) gives considerable weight to pre-development consultation. We got none! The NPPF’s instigator, The Localism Act 2011, is supposed to give new rights and powers to local people and to make the planning process more democratic. It didn’t do that for us locals! All in all, the feeling of local residents is that we have been dealt with unfairly and undemocratically and that the business concerns of the few have overridden the economic, environmental and social concerns of the many. It might be that, in reality, our democracy is biased towards a powerful minority but we don’t have to like it. We are all aware that it is not necessarily what you know. The question remains – Is this how we want democracy to work? Of course, there’s always the ballot box! Geoff Newton Fenton his memoirs. I was wondering if you or anyone from your group have a wartime photo of Bernard Minnitt in uniform to add to my personal MC/MM database? Any help regarding this would be very much appreciated. There is very much a likeness between Bernard and Philip. With Best Wishes Richard Clay The Trentside Links team have passed Mr Clay's request onto Mr Philip Minnitt and will look to bring you an update in a future issue.

Calling all Bridge Players In the autumn Chris and Rosie Fowler are proposing to start a bridge club at Kettlethorpe village hall from 7-10pm on either a Monday or Wednesday evening, yet to be decided. There is no age restriction and members are invited from a wide area. Initially the club would be for those with experience for playing Duplicate or Rubber/Chicago. This advert is exploratory at this stage, to establish if there are sufficient people in the area who would want the opportunity to play social bridge on a weekly basis. The village hall has suitable resources in that there could be a maximum of ten playing tables which means capacity would be 40 persons. The club would need a core group of twelve people as a minimum each week to cover the cost of the hall hire of £24 for a 3-hour period. A weekly playing sub therefore would have to be levied as £2 per person if the club was to become successful and attendance numbers increase. It is planned to pass any surplus income generated (after purchasing the necessary playing resources) onto the Kettlethorpe church maintenance programme. In addition the club would offer teaching classes on alternative days so that beginners and those unfamiliar with this game can also take part. If you like the idea of a bridge club and would want to take part as a person with an understanding for the rudiments and playing protocols of the game, you are invited to register an expression of interest as an experienced bridge player with us by telephoning 01427 718619 or by email to fowlerchris46@gmail.com Kindly respond by 31st August 2012 Regards Chris Fowler

Trentside News Brampton Celebrates the Thorney's Jubilee Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebration It was going to take more than pouring rain and temperatures well below the seasonal average to stop Brampton celebrating the Jubilee. Originally it had been planned to hold the annual barbecue in Bob and Gill’s garden as last year but the plans were hastily changed when the weather forecast for the Sunday of the bank holiday weekend showed a strong possibility of heavy rain. Paul and Lindsey Whitfield kindly offered use of their barn, which was cleared of garden machinery and a long table erected sufficient to accommodate the 45 residents and friends who attended the function. Bunting, cup cakes and Union Jacks were very much in evidence. Despite the weather conditions, where anoraks and even gloves were very much the order of the day, the event was enjoyed by all. Locals Lee and Sam provided topical food for the occasion, English pork and Greek style lamb together with all the accompaniments. The occasion also marked the end of Paul’s term of office as chairman of the Parish meeting and the start of Bob’s as the new chairman. Bob in addition to toasting Her Majesty the Queen also thanked Paul for all his work over the years and of course all who helped make this year’s barbecue a success.

Well over 100 people attended our Jubilee party on Monday 4th June. It was a glorious day, after a cool start and people enjoyed singing together, as well as being entertained by the Kirks, some dancing, poems and the parade of the children’s fancy dress. The children all received commemorative coins and the Raffle made enough to cover our costs. Thank you to all who attended and made the day go so well. There was plenty of food to go around and it was fun to see jelly and blancmange on the menu again! The exhibition of photographs will stay in Church until we have our OPEN CHURCHES event on Saturday 14th JULY between 10am and 4pm. You are welcome to come along and see some interesting photos of Thorney buildings and people, dating from the early 1900s and including some from our pantomimes and other village events. We plan to have a VILLAGE PHOTOGRAPH taken on either Sunday 16th September or 23rd. Look out for notices. Assemble at church by 11am. Remind your neighbours! See you there. LOST? A lens cap has recently been found IN THE CHURCH YARD of St Helen’s. Contact Anne Massey on 01522 703120 or e: team.massey@virgin.net if you think it might be yours.
Newton on Trent Jubilee Celebrations The Kyme family, Colin, Jill, Tim, Mandy, Jamie and Luci would like to thank everyone who came to the Jubilee coffee and cake morning held on the shop front on Tuesday 5th June. We served over 100 cups of tea and homemade cakes, some of which had kindly been donated by the villagers, a big thank you for those too. The children enjoyed looking at the baby pot belly pigs, the lambs and the ducklings, which Tim had put in pens on the drive, and some of the adults had a good look around our vintage Fordson tractor which belonged to Tim and Jamie's great granddad. During the morning we ran a raffle and a guess how many red, white and blue sweets were in the jar. This raised £350 which has been split equally between Newton church and Friends of Newton School. By dinner time we were shattered but so pleased that so many people turned up and made it a very enjoyable morning.

Free Marketing Workshop for Sport Clubs
I
t was a very early start on the morning of 28th June for the staff and children of Newton on Trent Church of England Primary School, but it was most definitely worth it! As we waited on Bridge Street for the torch party to arrive, we sang, we waved our flags and our spirits were high. Cheers were heard whenever anyone went by, be they police rider, Olympic mascot or drivers of empty buses. Eventually the torch could be seen coming up the street and the cheers were deafening, and there was more to come.
S
ports clubs in Lincolnshire are encouraged to come along to a free marketing workshop this month. The workshop, which is being run by Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, will help clubs and organisations advertise and attract young people into their club.
Following the torch parade, we went to join the pupils from six other schools at the recreation ground and to participate in a fantastic day of sporting events organised by the Saxilby Parish Council and with staff from Saxilby C of E Primary School. The children devoured their free breakfasts and were ready for action. Then just as events got underway, the heavens opened and we were deluged, bringing the event to an abrupt end. We arrived back at school in a very soggy state but would not have missed seeing the Olympic torch for the world.
VOLUNTEERS WANTED! MARTON COMMUNITY DIG
Led by leading sports marketing consultant Fiona Green, topics will cover an introduction to social media, targeting the right target audience, ideas for events and fundraising and other areas. Lucy Blakey, Children and Young People Officer at Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, said: “The workshop is an excellent opportunity for sports clubs to learn how to market themselves better. With an exciting summer of sport ahead, now is the perfect time for clubs to inspire young people to take up sport.” The workshop will be held at the Carre Arms Hotel in Sleaford on Tuesday 24th July from 6pm – 8.30pm. A buffet will be available from 6pm. If you are a sports club and would like to attend the workshop, call Lucy Blakey on 01522 585 580 to book your place.
Come along and help uncover more about the lives of Romans in Marton between 11th September and 23rd September. Contact Sarah Grundy on 01522 553109 or email sarah.grundy@lincolnshire.gov.uk If you would prefer not to get muddy then come along to the Open Days on the weekends during the digging (15/16 and 22/23 September). There will be activities for children and guided tours of the site every hour between 10am and 3pm.

Kenneth William Burgess (Ken) passed away peacefully on Sunday 6th May 2012
in a factory. He later worked in the gas industry in Windsor, where he served his apprenticeship as a gas fitter, later progressing to Supervisor and then Central Heating Inspector.
O
In his youth Ken did a lot of running, cycling and rowing. He joined the Sea Cadets in Windsor, where he taught the Sea Rangers (girls) to row on the Thames. Through this he met and later married Joan; they lived in a caravan at Bray on the banks of the Thames, where Ken was able to indulge his love of fishing. In due course Lesley and Keith came along. The family then moved to Coventry, where Nichola was born. Sadly, Joan died in a car accident and sometime later Ken met Eileen and eventually became her husband and step-father to Karen, Alison and Andrew. Ken took early retirement after 38 years in the gas industry and two years later he and Eileen moved to Torksey.
ver the past 24 years Ken became well-known in Torksey, always active, always ready to lend a hand if needed. Sadly, over the last three years of his life he became less active and suffered from chronic back pain. He could no longer tend his garden nor carry out his hobbies of wood-turning, stained glass work and metalwork, which caused him a great deal of frustration. Then in August 2010 he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This changed his personality completely as he became more and more depressed and then aggressive, not the Ken we had all known and loved. Born in Hastings on 14th June 1931, Ken's love of the sea never left him, though he never learned to swim! After being evacuated with his mother, two aunts and a cousin to Weston- superMare at the start of the war, then moving to live with relatives in Slough, Ken left school at the age of 14 and started work
6
During his life Ken has always been involved in the community, having served as a Special Constable, volunteer driver for the local car scheme, Parish Councillor and Churchwarden. He was also a member of Marton and
then Laughterton Bowls Clubs. He was a devoted Granddad to his eleven grandchildren and will be greatly missed by us all. THANK YOU Eileen and family would like to thank everyone for their kind messages, cards and support following the sad loss of Ken. Your attendance at church for his funeral service was greatly appreciated, as were the very generous donations for The Alzheimer's Society and St Peter's Church.

St Peter’s Church Torksey are now virtually complete. These have shown that the tower at all levels requires serious work.
R
eaders will recall from earlier copies of the Trentside Links all the work that the PCC has planned for St Peters both to repair and improve the church to cater for its wider use within the community. Here’s an update..... Following the award from English Heritage/Lottery Fund of a grant towards the cost of repairs to the tower, the PCC can report that the investigation works
The roof requires virtually fully replacing, the bell frame is in a serious condition, and the belfry floor beams have only about 30% of their strength remaining. The bearing ends are all badly affected by rot and there is much evidence of black watch beetle. Overall the extent of the necessary repair work exceeds that anticipated in the original report. The plan now is to prepare formal estimates to allow re-application to English Heritage for the release of the main contract funding, hopefully updated to take account of the additional works. At the same time we have to step up the fundraising, always remembering that despite the generous grant from EH/ LF we still need a further £20-£25,000!
A report by the ‘batman’ has also found that brown-long-eared Bats are roosting within the nave roof space, as a protected species this means that any work we have to do, even to the tower, will have to be confined to the period between November and April whilst the bats are hibernating. Further nocturnal surveys are to be undertaken to fully establish the extent of their activity. Running parallel with the tower repairs are the ongoing plans to replace the archaic heating system, where we have now received three quotations and are in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals before going for grant application. So all in all, things are looking up! Richard Farley Brampton Follow us on facebook like Trentside Links

arton Church was the perfect setting for the marriage of Graham Hill and Donna Smith. The Reverend officiated the ceremony held on June 23rd. The reception was held in the first ever marquee in the garden at the Ingleby Arms, High Street, Marton. It looked magnificent. The couple spent a few days away in the Lake District with their beloved pet Chester.
Marton’s Roman past
T
hose of you who read the Trentside Links magazine during 2010 may remember a series of articles about the project that was happening in Marton which was all about discovering its Roman heritage. There was a series of events, including field walking and a Roman ‘living history’ weekend. The reason for the Roman theme is Marton’s rich Roman heritage. Littleborough Lane was an important Roman road, which linked Ermine Street, just to the north of Lincoln, with York, thus avoiding the Humber crossing. There is a Roman marching camp just to the south of the road which has been designated a nationally important 'Scheduled Monument'. We also know, through field walking and geophysical survey, that there was extensive Roman settlement along both sides of the road between the modern village of Marton and the Trent. We would like to investigate a part of this settlement by archaeologically excavating it, and we would like to give local people the chance to get involved in the digging of their heritage. We are employing a professional archaeological company to supervise the work and they will provide training, so no previous experience is needed, just people's interest and enthusiasm.

The dates will be 11th until 23rd September 2012, including weekends for those who have commitments during the week. If you would like to take part, booking is essential and you can contact me to register your interest. To register or if you have any questions, you can contact me, Sarah Grundy (Lincolnshire County Council), on sarah.grundy@ lincolnshire.gov.uk or 01522 553109. If you don’t want to get muddy you can still come along and find out about the latest finds and what is happening on site by coming to the open days on the weekends during the digging (that is 15th, 16th, 22nd and 23rd September). During the open days there will be activities for children and guided tours of the site every hour between 10am and 3pm. All are welcome. Some of you may remember that we did try and dig the site back in November and December 2010, but this was when it snowed so heavily and we had to abandon our attempt. Here are some photos to remind you of how cold and snowy it was.

Husband & Wife Team Celebrate 30 years of Scouting
O
n a warm day on the 22nd of May Mr. & Mrs. Mellor of 24th Lincoln (Saxilby Scout group) attended the Queen’s garden party for their services to scouting, below they write about their journey through scouting and how to them it is a way of life.
again Frances joined me and we finished up successfully running the Ventures for the next 10 years! We both picked up many other functions as time progressed and developed the Saxilby group. Paper collections, annual leader dinners, BBQs and marquee hiring all became familiar activities which helped group finances and allowed us to improve our facilities. The current HQ was extended in 1985
A Brief Summary of Our Scouting Life by Neil and Frances Mellor In the summer of 1981 we attended our first cub camp, the Akela of the time wanted a male parent to go along and help with the tent groups much as we do today. So we both attended the camp, the lasting memory of it was created on the Saturday afternoon, the wind blew extremely strongly, we were away on an activity and on return found our borrowed frame tent listing badly with broken poles, the first of many camp emergencies! In the autumn of 1981 I agreed after strong lobbying from our eldest son Paul, to go along to cubs as a parent helper, one leader had recently moved on and so Akela was on her own and needed assistance. After just five weeks Akela had a new job lined up and decided she would leave scouting and duly handed everything over to me. As a relative greenhorn at the time it was rather a daunting prospect but with help offered by Frances we decided to give it a try. Fortunately Jean Revill was able to come back and give us guidance and support so I became Akela and Frances and Jean assisted. I started running the cub football for the district in 1982 (eleven-aside at the time) and still continue in that role today, changing to seven-a-side in 2002 with the advent of more organised football for the younger children.
John Burke of Knaith, who met the Mellors to congratulate them on their achievement.
and in 1992 the garage was added for increased storage, then by 2009 it was necessary to update the facility and add disabled toilets. As well as our group activities Frances and I have played an active role at district level organising: football, sports days, cross country, fun days of all description, skills days, camps and outings to name just a few. There are many things that stand out over the years but if asked to name one, I think we would choose the time in 1986

July 2012
when we went on Scout Camp for a week in Wales, on the first Sunday we went for a trip on the Ffestiniog railway and while we were away, the campsite on the side of Snowdonia was hit by Hurricane Charlie. On return, with the hurricane still raging, we were confronted with collapsing tents, torrents of water down the hillside and the valley flooded with water, the canoes we were using the day before were floating across a field. After a vain attempt to save the kitchen tent we drew back to review the situation, fortunately the farmer who had kindly allowed us to use his field suggested in the circumstances he would be happy for us to use his cowshed. Whilst it was not a 5-star option it offered a way to continue with the camp, so all the scouts were transferred to the cowshed where they stayed for the rest of the week. We are pretty sure that all the scouts who shared that camp enjoyed it tremendously but will never forget the experience! In many ways scouting has become a way of life for us and takes a very big portion of our time, it was a great pleasure to us when our youngest son joined the group as a Scout Leader in 2002. In 2005 and 2006 we received our Silver Acorns, awarded for long and distinguished service these are treasured awards but we are only too aware that the continuation of scouting depends on young adults joining the movement and keeping the organisation up to date. It is only the addition of new young blood which will ensure scouting remains attractive and stimulating to the children of today. It was a great pleasure to us and a fantastic experience attending the garden party at Buckingham Palace. The fact that it also fell in the week which coincided with retirement from work, the Queen’s Jubilee, and a special birthday made it even more special.
In 1985 I completed my training and achieved the Wood Badge and continued as Akela until 1988, when the then Group Scout Leader (GSL) decided to concentrate on scouts and leaving me initially as leader in charge before taking over as GSL in 1989. Frances then became Akela having also achieved her Wood Badge in 1990. By this time all three of our sons were fully active in scouting and all went from Cubs through Scouts on to Ventures. In 1989 the then Venture Scout leader, moved on and as GSL I took over on a temporary basis,

Bygone Lincoln DVD 4...More Lincoln Nostalgia!
R
eleased on May 24 - Bygone Lincoln DVD 4 with ninety minutes of old films and nostalgia topics that will get local families talking about the good/bad old days. Local media company Blow By Blow Productions have found film of a drive through the Stonebow in 1960 and a feature on Woodheads, the independent Lincoln electrical retailers, in 1955. Many aspects of village life in Nettleham are seen in the 1960s and 1970s including the popular Boxing Day Pram Race.

Trentside Bygones School Days in Laughterton
I
n 1996 the late Geoff Lidgett of Poplar Farm, Fenton, was asked to recall his memories of school life. The letter was recently re-discovered by his wife, Sarah, who has kindly let us print his memories. Geoff went to the school that used to be based in Laughterton but no longer exists and his memories highlight a school life very different from that of today. Poplar Farm Fenton 14/5/1996 Dear Thomas Hopefully the following is the information you require. I started school in 1924 at Laughterton, the next village a little over one mile away, 8.00am - 4.00pm five days a week, walking a little over one mile wet or fine, several years later a few had cycles, please remember this was during a real depression. Two classrooms, junior and senior each heated by a coke stove which glowed red hot on top on cold days, lighting provided by two paraffin lamps in each. No uniform, lunch taken in a satchel with a bottle of possibly cold tea, later some (few) had flasks for a hot drink, water was provided from a tank in one of the schoolhouse outbuildings, a tank was filled by pumping from a well by some of the senior pupils, a pipe protruded through the wall with a tap, attached to that was an enamelled mug with a chain shared by all. The toilets were earth closets, no running water for flushing , two hand bowls for washing, one for girls and juniors, other for older boys, each on a stand with water which appeared to be thick soup at the end of the day. Lunch was eaten in the playground if fine, on wet days all crowded into the cloakroom, packed like sardines in a tin, you were not allowed in school to eat. Two playgrounds, juniors and girls in one, boys in the other, the surface was clinker near the building and soil the remainder, which was waterlogged in wet weather providing us with entertainment digging grips hopefully draining the water away. Slates and slate pencils in the junior section followed by exercise books later, pencils and rubbers provided. Geoff Lidgett
The History of Jim Page Campsite Laughterton
T
he Parish of Kettlethorpe, in whose parish the campsite was, stands in the isolated corner of Lincolnshire at the SW tip of Lindsey. It is bounded by the River Trent on the west, Nottinghamshire on the south and the angled Fossdyke on the east and north, a parcel of some three thousand acres including, besides the manor village, two hamlets, Fenton and Laughterton. It had formed part of the Saxon Wapentake or Hundred or Well, and owed feudal dues to the Bishop of Lincoln under whom the memorial right was held. It had never been a prosperous or especially productive manor, then suited only to the growth of hay, flax, hemp and such like and most of the land being virgin forest for the pleasure of its lords. Earlier owners such as the de la Croix had held large holdings elsewhere to supplement rents. Charles Hall was a member of Parliament, as was his grandson, another Charles Hall, who died in 1743 and was succeeded by his step-nephew, Charles Amcotts of Harrington, High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1753 and member of Parliament for Boston from 1768. His coat of arms is carved in stone and can be seen above the entrance door of the present hall. On the death of Charles Amcotts, who was unmarried in 1777, Kettlethorpe passed to his sister who was the wife of Wharton Emerson MP, who forthwith took his wife's surname of Amcotts and was later made a baronet. He and his wife had one child, Elizabeth, who was married in 1780 to Sir John Ingilby of Ripley, Yorkshire.

Elizabeth, Lady Ingilby-Amcotts, died in 1812 and Kettlethorpe Hall became much dilapidated during the ownership of her son Sir William Amcotts-Ingilby, a somewhat eccentric person who

had the grand title of honorary District Commissioner, decided to acknowledge, 'with sincere appreciation the valuable contribution to scouting in the district made by Mr J Page, who had given untiring effort and devoted service to the movement throughout his life'.

represented Lincolnshire in parliament from 1823 to 1834 and died without issue in 1854. Colonel Western CraycroftAmcotts (MP, 1866-74) who registered the estate under the Land Transfer Act in 1869 had inherited the estate in 1857 on the death of his mother who was sister of Sir William Amcotts-Ingilby, the previous owner. Upon the death of Colonel Western-Craycroft Kettlethorpe passed to his youngest son Major Frederick Craycroft-Amcotts in 1883 and upon his death in 1897 to his widow Emily Grace Craycroft-Amcotts. Lady Emily Grace lived at Kettlethorpe Hall until her death 13th October 1936. She was greatly interested in the Scout Movement and the Rover Scouts from Gainsborough were granted to use part of the estate for camping where they constructed a log cabin in the woods. After the death of Lady Emily the woods and shooting rights were let to a syndicate from Sheffield and the scouts suffered the loss of their camping rights. As successor to his mother Lady Emily, Sir Western Craycroft Amcotts of Hackthorn gave the use of other land off Marsh Lane at Laughterton for other scouting activities. This was two plots containing 1.474 acres of woodland and
8.616 acres of pastureland. When the estate came into the hands of George Coldham Knight in early 1942 the whole estate was offered for sale (save the hall and grounds, which were retained by Sir Western), which meant the scouts would face the loss of their camping ground for a second time. The then District Commissioner Mr James (Jim) Page of Willingham by Stow wrote to George Coldharn Knight's solicitors enquiring what figure the two plots of land on Marsh Lane, Laughterton, that they had used for camping since 1936, would likely fetch at the auction. The purchase price quoted was well out of reach of the local Scout Association but several days later Jim received a personal letter from George C Knight saying that he wished to give the land to him for the use of the local scouts. The one condition was that if scouting in Gainsborough ever fell through the land was to go for the use of the children of Laughterton and Kettlethorpe. From April 19th 1942 until October 19th 1964 the site went by the name of District Campsite at Laughterton. In 1964 the Gainsborough and District Boy Scouts Association, when Jim Page
As from 19th October l964, the campsite became known as The Jim Page Campsite. A commemorative certificate was presented to Jim Page which was signed by H. Clarke (the Chairman) and Sidney A Davison (the Secretary) of the Gainsborough District Boy Scouts Association. In later years Jim Page continued his scouting in the Gainsborough district as honorary District Commissioner, still supporting the work that was being done in scouting and enjoying regular trips to his campsite. In early 1950 a metal-framed cabin was erected on the site and a water supply taken from the local farm. The water tap was placed adjacent to the main gate where many trips across the site must have been made to gain for water for camping. Not a lot is known about the early history of the site but in 1968 the metal-framed building was demolished and thanks to help by Calvert, who assisted financially to pay for a new wooden framed cabin, it still stands on the site today. The cabin was formally opened in 1969 and named the Calvert Cabin. Due to changes in lifestyle where earth toilets were dug and backfilled for each camp, permanent toilets were installed (complete with an underground waste tank) on the site in early 1970. The water Continued on page 14...

supply was extended from the front gate to still a single tap on the back of the toilet block.
Newton on Trent concert 1937...who do you recognise?
Gas water heating was also installed in the toilets to help with personal washing. This toilet block was extended in 1987 to the building that now stands on the site. In the late 1960s a wooden kitchen was built at the end of the Calvert Cabin and this was used with great success until the new brick built kitchen was constructed in the early 1990s. The Calvert Cabin and toilet block were originally lit by gaslights and eventually this was changed to electric lighting, first by a generator and then in the mid 1980s by its own electrical supply. One of the great blows to the site was the loss of the elm trees on the eastern end of the site. The original site as detailed above had an area of 1.474 acres of woodland, this woodland consisted of a great many mature elm trees that made up a barrier of trees at the river end of the site. This was called the 'Spinney' and although the trees were tightly spaced camping was not possible, but for backwoods and other scout crafts this was just the place needed to complete the site. In the mid 1970s Dutch elm disease struck and this hit the site badly. The trees on the site, plus many others that ran in a straight line across many other fields owned by other landowners, were killed, leaving great areas in the local area with just stumps of very hard and unusable wood. This took many years to clear but when complete it did provide additional areas to camp on and gave an area that we now call the 'Visitors Site'. Next to come was a new shower/ladies toilet block that allowed the site to be used by greater numbers and provided showering facilities when required Changes over the years has seen the water supply taken around the campsite, all to make the camping experience more acceptable to the modem way of living. Power has been taken around the site, first to a kiosk next to the notice board and of late to the pole store and camp fire circle end of the site. This has allowed groups to have a power supply for lights and power for fridges that all make it easier to camp. Richard Barnard, Laughterton

We were not disappointed, there was an enormous collection of photos of Brampton for us to add to our collection. Marton village hall was full of people chattering and reminiscing with a spread of food fit for a king! A letter from Sheila & Suzanne We would like to thank all who came to Marton Village Hall on May 12th, it was lovely for us to meet Brampton residents - old and new. We were able to chat about life in Brampton in our day, 1930s to 1960s, and then to hear about life in Brampton now, there was such a lot to talk about. We would like to thank all who helped to make this day so memorable for us, forty or more people came to say "Hello" and our sincere thanks to you all.

Charlotte Peach Carries the Olympic Torch
L
ocal girl Charlotte Peach from Newton on Trent was chosen to carry the Olympic flame through Bracebridge Heath.
She was nominated by her mother who writes: Charlotte is a keen sportsperson and competes for Newark Athletics Club. This last season with thanks to her coach and consistent hard training four times a week in wind, rain, snow and sun has paid off after five years of training. She is now competing at county level, qualified for ESCC for the first time and the intercounty team, and is now one of the top East Midlands U15 Girls. She won the Notts Mini League Cross Champion title, The Notts Schools Cross Country Title, 2nd in the Notts County CC Champs, 2nd in the Notts County Track & Field this year in 1500m. She has smashed all her previous best scores and has already achieved her end of season targets set. She is a kind, considerate and well-liked athlete throughout the places and people she competes against. She is always ready to help the younger athletes if they get nervous and ask for help. She is a great role model for lots of the younger girls in the club who all look up to her. Whilst keeping up her training four times a week she is doing incredibly well at school. She achieved the school diamond award which is the highest school award and was awarded this for her commitment to her learning, her continued efforts for wanting to achieve more and sheer hard work. She also received a distinction in her first part of the French GCSE. She has taken part and represented the school in all that has been asked to do to a high level. She always tries her best. Her aim is 2016/2020 Olympics. She never gives up!

Local Family Business with a Crafty Idea
L
iz Barnard and Hannah Stansfield run this delightful mother and daughter business from their home in Laughterton. Liz and her daughter Hannah have always been keen crafters with the skills being handed down from Liz’s mother and grandmother and then to daughter Hannah. The business has evolved from the beginning when Hannah made jewellery, which she had designed and handcrafted herself, to spinning, felting and weaving using some interesting fleece. Liz and Hannah go on to explain how they have been lucky enough to acquire some fleece from Lincoln long wool sheep. The sheep were quite rare, nearly extinct, but have been bred by James Chantry, a young man of 18 years who breeds them for show and not meat. Not only do Liz and Hannah produce beautiful crafts they also run craft classes for small groups which you can book by phone 01427 717997 or through their website www.thewoolloft.co.uk So if you are thinking of a special and unique Christmas or birthday present or looking for something to brighten up your home look no further, they have truly got something for everybody.

M
ost of us have heard of the High Sheriff of Nottingham and the legend of Robin Hood, but did you know that every county has its own high sheriff? Even today there are 55 high sheriffs serving the counties of England and Wales. The high sheriff takes up appointment, usually in April each year with the making of a sworn declaration in terms set out by the Sheriffs Act 1887 before a high court judge or justice of the peace. The appointment is for one year only.
John Burke DL High Sheriff of Lincolnshire 2012-2013
High sheriffs rank among top dignitaries in their areas and are also expected to attend at royal visits to their counties, as well as being entitled to act as returning officers in parliamentary elections. On Wednesday 14th March 2012, that nomination was officially confirmed by the Queen as she used a silver bodkin to ‘prick’ her name on a list of all new high sheriffs for England and Wales written on parchment. So it was with special interest that I noted that our High Sheriff of Lincolnshire was John Burke of Knaith.
What is a High Sheriff? The office of high sheriff is an independent non-political Royal appointment for a single year. The origins of the office date back to Saxon times, when the ‘shire reeve’ was responsible to the king for the maintenance of law and order within the shire, or county, and for the collection and return of taxes due to the Crown. Whilst the duties of the role have evolved over time, supporting the Crown and the judiciary remain central elements of the role today. In addition, high sheriffs actively lend support and encouragement to crime prevention agencies, the emergency services and to the voluntary sector. In recent years high sheriffs in many parts of England and Wales have been particularly active in encouraging crime reduction initiatives, especially amongst young people. Many high sheriffs also assist the Community Foundation and local charities working with vulnerable and other people both in endorsing and helping to raise the profile of their valuable work. High sheriffs receive no remuneration and no part of the expense of a high sheriff ’s year falls on the public purse.

‘WHEREAS HER MAJESTY was this day pleased, by and with the advice of HER PRIVY COUNCIL, to nominate you for, and appoint you to be HIGH SHERIFF of the COUNTY OF...Lincolnshire during HER MAJESTY’S PLEASURE: These are therefore to require you to take the Custody and Charge of the said COUNTY, and duly to perform the duties of HIGH SHERIFF thereof during HER MAJESTY’S PLEASURE, whereof you are duly to answer according to law.’
Duties and Responsibilities
Photo © Lincolnshire Life magazine
How are High Sheriffs Appointed? Nominations to the office of high sheriff are dealt with through the presiding judge of the circuit and the Privy Council for consideration by the sovereign in council. The annual nominations of three prospective high sheriffs for each county are made in a meeting of the lords of the council in the Queen’s bench division of the high court of justice presided over by the Lord Chief Justice on 12th November each year. Subsequently, the selection of new high sheriffs is made annually in a meeting of the privy council by the Sovereign in March, when the traditional custom of ‘pricking’ the appointee’s name with a bodkin is perpetuated. Eligibility for nomination and appointment of high sheriffs under the Sheriffs Act of 1887 excludes peers of parliament and members of the House of Commons, and, by extension, members of the European Parliament or Welsh Assembly, full-time members of the judiciary, including special commissioners or officers of Customs and Excise or Inland Revenue, officers of the Post Office, and officers of the Royal Navy, Army or Royal Air Force on full pay. These provisions reflect the essential requirement that the office of high sheriff is a non-political appointment. Following the ‘pricking’ of the high sheriff in the Privy Council by the Sovereign a Warrant of Appointment is sent by the clerk of the Privy Council in the following terms:
The principal formal duties of high sheriffs today include attendance at royal visits in the county and support for Her Majesty’s high court judges when on circuit. These days, however, high sheriffs play an increasingly active and supportive role within their counties both in relation to the police and emergency services and in lending encouragement to public sector agencies such as the probation and prison services and to voluntary sector organisations involved in crime reduction and social cohesion. Each high sheriff will approach their year slightly differently depending on their particular skills, experience and their own areas of interest. The key objectives of the role can be summarised as follows: •
•
• • •
To uphold and enhance the ancient office of high sheriff and to make a meaningful contribution to the high sheriff ’s county during the year of office To lend active support to the principal organs of the constitution within their county – the royal family, the judiciary, the police and other law enforcement agencies, the emergency services, local authorities and church and faith groups To ensure the welfare of visiting high court judges, to attend on them at court and to offer them hospitality To support the Lord-Lieutenant on royal visits and on other occasions as appropriate To take an active part in supporting and promoting the voluntary sector and giving all possible encouragement to the voluntary organisations within a county.
Congratulations John on your prestigious appointment.

Trentside Reports THE VICAR WRITES As I write this the Church Council at St Mary's Church Stow is facing some critical decisions. St Mary's is a beautiful church and the oldest in Lincoln Diocese. It is the best example of a Saxon Minster church in the country, and, in consequence a monument of international significance. It was heavily restored and reordered in the 19th century. The work done by the Victorians has lasted well, but, in large measure is in need of attention and repair. The whole roof, work which has already started, needs to be renewed at a cost approaching ÂŁ2 million. Other important work needs to be done to the stonework and soakaways, the interior needs attention and the heating modernising. All this on a Grade 1 listed building of international significance. Responsibility for these repairs and improvements lies with the Church Council and congregation, and here comes the rub, the congregation ay St Mary's has declined to around a dozen, with only five people on the Council. There is only one churchwarden and nobody from the parish could be found to be church treasurer, and this noble but small group is responsible for a building
22
which has been described as having the significance of the Taj Mahal. Because of all this the Archdeacon, with the agreement of the church council, commissioned the Church Building Council to produce a management plan for the church. The aim of this is to widen the use of the building. This would attract more people in, widen the number of people with an investment in St Mary's and so secure its future as a working church. The Church Council will discuss the interim report early in May. The decision they make will determine St Mary's future. If they accept the plan they will attract support and help for the maintenance and development of the guiding. But they will lose some control over it and see it used for a wider variety of purposes, not just church services. On the other hand if they don't accept it they will keep control; of the building, but the responsibility will be solely theirs, and no more people will be attracted from outside to help. Given this it would be likely that the church will continue to decline and could become redundant. This is the difficult choice facing Stow church. It is not, however unique to St Mary's. Reconnecting our churches with their communities is a challenge we all face. Some have started to respond already. Newton Church has been re-ordered for use by the school.
These developments have not been easy, some have found the changes to a much-loved building difficult. But these have reconnected the church with the wider community and ensured its survival. Stow and other churches now face this dilemma, but through it have an opportunity to decide the direction their church will take for the next hundred years. Please pray for Stow Church Council at this time of critical decisions. Rhys Prosser 01522 702427

Reports from the Kettlethorpe & District Women's Institute June 2012 This was our month for meeting outdoors, and considering the recent weather we bravely assembled in a member's lovely garden on possibly the warmest, sunny evening of June! As we relaxed in a capacious conservatory the President spoke of a further outdoor event to come, the imminent walking treasure hunt, starting from Eagle village hall on the 27th. On August 16th there is a visit to the Flower Festival in Lincoln Cathedral. Lynda Mullally spoke about joining the 'Moonlight Sleep' walk she enjoyed in aid of St Barnabas hospice. She and Mary Arden walked from 10pm until 11.30pm for a distance of six miles. Ann Lister gave a resume of her day at the National Meeting of the Institute in the Albert Hall, London. After general
business, the members were entertained by Julian Fellowes (actor, novelist, film director - and peer), and informed by Maggie Aderin-Pollock, a space scientist! At the last a surprise event by two of the professional dancers most of us have seen on 'Strictly Come Dancing,' ended the afternoon. Back to our evening, a report of two golfing days teaching were enjoyed by some members, who hope there may be further opportunities. Next was a quiz on all things royal, and as the shadows began to lengthen, strawberries and cream appeared in tasty scones and fruity drinks with just a touch of something stronger. Then as the sun lit up the west like a fireball, the games were put away, and we set out for home bathed in its fiery glow. Elise Hawker Lea

Neighbourhood Policing Team
H
ello again from your neighbourhood policing team at Saxilby. We are once again back up to full strength, for the time being anyway! Yes, the 'Fantastic Four' have nothing on us with PC Doherty now firmly back! The rare lumpy custard of last month has now become a good fettled machine (at times in need of repair!). Can we start by saying there are still concerns around the village of Saxilby regarding the amount of people who leave doors and windows open when they go out. Even if you are in your back garden please remember to close your windows and doors securely so that you don’t invite someone in to take your hard-earned belongings. This obviously also means all the other villages that this publication gets to. Please don’t think that we ignore you, we don’t. The Olympics are coming and some, if not all of you, will be out looking at the torch when it passes through Saxilby, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Please remember that during the Olympics the police force will be a little stretched due to officers going to London. We will do our upmost to make sure that you still get the service that you expect but there may be times that we need to prioritise which jobs need our response first. I, like many others, hope that there will be a summer at some point and we can all enjoy the weather and the facilities that we have. With this in mind can we all use the open receptacles that are around the village (commonly known
as BINS) to put all those sweet wrappers and crisp packets in? We have noticed that some people have a very bad aim! We have had various reports of suspicious people and vehicles in the villages which is credit to all who have taken the time to report them; keep up the good work and keep poking them with that stick! Please consider joining the Lincs Alert system, if you are on the telephone you can receive our messages, either ask one of us for a form or call in to the police station on William Street, Saxilby, when either Val or Glenda, our volunteers, will be happy to assist, or simply log on to www.lincsalert.co.uk and follow the instructions there.

May we say thanks to those who have heeded the warning about parking on double yellow lines, particularly the High Street/William Street junction. We do not have a mischievous elf who comes along at night painting yellow lines on the roads, they are in fact painted by Lincolnshire Highways to keep YOU safe and if the unacceptable parking continues our ticket office might be busy. There are still those who think it is OK, you know who you are and it is NOT OK. Again be warned, as we are fully stocked with £30 tickets which is a very expensive Hovis loaf for the two minutes it takes to park. Here’s your thought for this month: People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. The confusion comes when people are used and things are loved.
Fenton Baby & Toddler Group
Don’t forget that the Saxilby Gala will be taking place on the 14th July. Please come along and meet the team and maybe you will be lucky enough to win one of the prizes, you may even get wet if the present weather holds! You may even get both, lucky you! We are aware that there are a lot of fairs and galas taking place in other villages, where possible we would try to have an input, but you do need to put in a request in plenty of time.
This is a very friendly group for babies and under 5s to play, socialise and take part in craft activities. It is also a chance to get together with other parents and carers in the local area. If you would like any more information please ring Lauren Flinders on 01427 717419 or Tracy Flinders on 01427 717009. Every Thursday in the back room at The Carpenters Arms at 10am-11.30am £1.50 per family (refreshments provided)
