Ministry Team Message
Thoughts from a member of the Ministry Team
It’s been a funny old year for farmers and growers, even without the current pandemic. Looking back, the weather over the past year has not been kind. Following last year’s harvest, we then had the wettest of autumns, a lot of land was either flooded or water-logged and many planned winter crops could not be sown; the ones that were, were ‘muddied in’. Farmers, being optimistic, took the view that it would come right in the spring, winter crops could be safely sown until March. It didn’t come right until quite late on, then the change was drastic, drought and heat persisted. It certainly gave the farming community cause to worry and begin to doubt whether God’s covenant with Noah after the Flood, had come to an end!
‘As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.’ Genesis 8.22.
Of course, it hadn’t. Sitting on the combine harvester proved that! It also reminds us his covenant with Noah is only one of his many gifts. He gives us enquiring minds, ingenuity and resourcefulness. These gifts meant farmers were able to change their cropping plans to more suitable spring crops, use fertilisers, plant protection and stimulants, and use irrigation to get the best result possible.
Water is such a blessing, without it nothing could survive, but, conversely, as in the Great Flood, it can be very destructive. With careful use, at the right time, irrigation water can bring a stressed crop to a fruitful harvest. Realising in May that some of our wheat crops were very stressed, and possibly dying, we watered them which kept them going until a downpour in June brought them through to harvest.
God, in His wisdom, has given us the means to produce a bountiful harvest. We thank God for that.
In the words of the refrain of a familiar harvest hymn
All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above, Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love.

We must also, however, reflect God’s love by thinking of those parts of the world that are not as fortunate with their harvest, for the displaced and for refugees and pray that humankind can see the way to share Gods wonderful gifts.

“The Peace” at St Peter’s Church
During our Communion Services at St Peter’s church, at about 10.30am on Sundays, we have always shared The Peace. It’s our way of sharing our certainty of God’s blessing with all our fellow worshippers, whilst keeping in mind a far wider group of people that we care about deeply. Even though we can now do this face to face, we would like to say to you (with a virtual handshake or hug) “The Peace of the Lord be always with you.”
God Bless you and your family from the whole church of St Peter’s, Great Totham.

Letter to the Parish
As you will be aware 2020 was not quite the year any of us had planned.
As lockdown began, shops, pubs, beauty salons etc., shut and many events, outings and holidays cancelled. Many found themselves working from home, children were being self taught or tutored by members of their family. Some were furloughed and this provided them with time to catch up with all those jobs they had been “meaning to do”, others found it a time to reflect and take life at a slower pace. Some decided it was a time to “get fit” as bikes quickly sold out and YouTube took over from gyms/classes. Unfortunately, others found themselves unemployed.
NHS staff were put under immense pressure as more and more people became ill and hospitals were full to overflowing. Care homes struggled from lack of equipment and support.
Neighbours waved to each other across the road as we all took part in the clapping on a Thursday night to thank and recognise the work of the NHS.
How would we have coped without social media. Family, friends and companies relied heavily on facetime, Zoom and Team to name just a few.
Places of worship also closed which was hard as St Peter’s Church, Gt Totham no longer had its doors open for those who wanted to find solace there. Our church is not just a place for our regular services and Sunday Club. Many other activities were also forced to close, lunch club, rainbows, Edward Bear, knit and natter, bible study group, community choir practice, Mother’s Union, bell ringing practice and coffee mornings.
St Peter’s Church had already experienced change this year. We had been a benefice of three churches for many years the other two being Goldhanger and Lt Totham. This has now been extended to seven churches in total. Earlier this year we joined Tollesbury, Salcott, Tolleshunt D’Arcy and Tolleshunt Major and are known as the Blackwater Benefice, as the logo at the top of this letter reflects, 7 churches coming together around Jesus who is represented by the cross. We are all under the leadership of Rev Tracey Caswell who was due to be licensed in June but due to Covid-19 the licensing service was arranged in May via Zoom. This was not the only date that Tracey has had to change. Tracey and David, her new husband, had to move the date of their wedding to August this year. /continued on next page 8

Many events are held during the year by St Peter’s Church both as social events and fund raising. We have so far cancelled our coffee mornings (as previously mentioned), our flower festival and summer fete and it is looking likely that we will not be holding our St Nicholas Fayre. Unless the Government announce changes, our nine lessons and carols service along with our very popular Christingle services will also not go ahead.
Even though these events have been cancelled we still have to find ways to finance the upkeep of our beautiful church along with the churchyard. The family purse, an amount of money every church is required to pay to the Diocese for the running of the wider church, including contributing to clergy salary, this year for St Peter’s is £32,385. So far we have only paid £6,500 of this amount which is less than we normally pay and was based on the fact we have reduced income from cancelled events.
As previously mentioned, we have all found ourselves in different situations this year both mentally, physically and financially. Many members of our congregation have set up standing orders to ensure we are still receiving income.
No doubt many of you have attended weddings, baptisms, funerals or one or more of our fund raising events and would not like to see our building deteriorate. Therefore, if you are able to, we would invite you to donate any amount you feel able either by direct debit or by posting a cheque to the address below. If choosing the direct debit option please use Donation 2020 as a reference.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I look forward to seeing you in church or at one of our events. Karen Tarpey 5 Millways Great Totham, CM9 8NR

Church News
News from the Belfry
There are very few times in British history where our great tradition of church bell ringing has been silenced.
St Mary-le-Bow Church is about one mile from Aldgate the eastern boundary of the City of London beyond which is the East End. The bells have always been associated with life in the City and long ago they sounded the curfew at 9pm for medieval Londoners. To qualify as a true Cockney one had to be born within the sound of these Bells. Traditionally Cockneys have always been associated with the East End. However working class people born in the City of London will also be in earshot of the sound of Bow Bells.
The church has an interesting history. Its fame stems from its bells and probably Wren’s finest designed steeple. It has been a place of worship since 1087 but the original church was destroyed by The Great Fire of London in 1666. It was rebuilt by Christopher Wren between the years 1670 and 1673. The ringing of church bells ceased during World War 2 on the June 13th 1940. It was less than a year later that the church was destroyed by the last raid of the blitz on May 11th 1941 and the bells were destroyed. The church was subsequently restored and reconsecrated in 1964. The current ring of twelve were cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1956 using salvaged metal from the destroyed bells. The overall weight of the bells was reduced and the treble is now a mere 5cwt 3qr 2lb and the tenor 41cwt 3qr 21lb. These bells were rung for the first time on 21st December 1961. So for about twenty years the bells were silent so does that mean that there were no Cockneys born during this period?
It can also be said that no Cockneys were born between 1856 and 1858. During this period, a neighbour of the church, Mrs. Elisabeth Bird, succeeded in having the bells silenced after declaring that the noise of the bells would kill her. Forward to 2020 and about the end of March all bell ringing stopped because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. It was not until the 4th July, with the resumption of Church services, that bells could be rung again. So another albeit short time with no Cockneys being born!
/continued on next page 10
Church News
/continued from previous page
According to legend, Dick Whittington heard the bells 4.5 miles away at the Highgate Archway, in what is now north London. A survey of the bells and how far their ringing might have carried was done in 2000. This actually increases the area necessary to claim to being a true Cockney as the bells would have been heard six miles to the east, four miles to the west, five miles to the north and three miles to the south. However a 2012 study showed that in the modern era, noise pollution and increase of buildings means that the bells have been effectively “muted” and can only be heard as far as Shoreditch. Given that there no maternity units and few houses in this area the likelihood of any True Cockneys being born is significantly reduced.
As a matter of interest the Public Enquiry into the future of currently closed Whitechapel Bell Foundry, scheduled for 15th May 2020, was cancelled and will now take place on 6th October. Watch this space!

Friends of St Peter’s Church
Once more we offer thanks to our kind supporters for their continuing loyalty. During lock-down a set of cheques, which under normal circumstances would have been personally delivered to the bank, was posted and failed to arrive. Postman Pat was obviously off duty that day! Fortunately our treasurer was on the case and, having established that none of the cheques had been presented, contacted Friends to update them. To those who kindly ‘rejoined’ we offer our thanks. The situation continues to be monitored.
Thank you also to people who have taken the trouble to update me on the fate of the plants purchased from our Friends’ flower stall. The different species of sunflowers were popular and, since they also had different flowering times, a continuous and colourful display has been enjoyed over a long period. Despite the extremely hot weather, those in my garden have survived very well, as have the tagetes, but I am informed that sea holly is the plant for arid conditions so will have to add those to any future list.
We look forward to meeting our members at future events when it is safer to gather. In the meantime, if you would like to help maintain our beautiful church, please consider becoming a Friend of Saint Peter’s. You will be made very welcome. Vicky Heaviside

Pets’ Service Sunday, 6 September
Bob Tarpey led the Pets’ Service, held in the churchyard on a beautiful sunny morning, accompanied by his cat, Charlie. Several dogs brought along their families and two guinea-pigs made up the congregation.
Although we could not sing hymns, we said prayers of thanks for our pets and Bob spoke to us about the bible stories that include animals. Some of these are very well known, including Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale, Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Others are less frequently told, such as the ravens which supplied food for Elijah as he hid from King Ahab (1 Kings 17: 2-6), Aaron’s staff which turned into a snake (Exodus 7: 6-12) or Balaam’s talking donkey (Numbers 22).

Blue Peter – a childhood must-watch
Way back on 16 October 1958, the BBC launched a brand new magazine style programme aimed mainly at children aged between 6 and 14. This was Blue Peter and it remains the longest running children’s programme in the world, with an unbroken run ever since its beginning. Whilst no longer on the main BBC1 channel, it continues to be broadcast live on CBBC, the BBC’s children’s satellite channel. Sadly, as the show is, and always has been, recorded live, there are very few early clips still in existence. In fact, there are only two remaining from the period between 16 October 1958 and 5 November 1962, with around 312 editions still available between 12 November 1962 and 9 December 1968. Happily, every episode remains since that later date.
The programme was created by John Hunter Blair, a television producer who produced the programme from 1958 until 1961, when illness forced him to leave. The first programmes only lasted 15 minutes and the idea was to make a television programme specifically for children who had become too old for ‘Watch with Mother’. Initially it was only broadcast once a month, however soon became a weekly broadcast. The ‘Blue Peter’ name came about from an idea by Owen Reed, then Head of Children’s Programmes at the BBC, who had visited former radio producer Trevor Hill, creator of the Children’s Television Club which began on the MV Royal Iris ferry on the River Mersey. The Blue Peter is the flag used to signify that the vessel is about to leave. In fact the Children’s Television Club can be described as the forerunner to Blue Peter.
Right from the very first notes, we can all remember the title music. This was called ‘Barnacle Bill’, composed by Herbert Ashworth-Hope, with the original version played by Sidney Torch and the New Century Orchestra used from 1958 to January 1979, then replaced by an updated version by Mike Oldfield. Blue Peter’s first two presenters were Christopher Trace and Leila Williams, a former Miss Great Britain. Occasionally, the renowned artist, Tony Hart, would guest on the programme. Tony Hart designed the Blue Peter logo of the Galleon. By 1960, the programme had moved from once a month on a Thursday to every Monday and the run-time extended from 15 to 20 minutes. After Hunter Blair had left his job as producer, he was replaced by Clive Parkhurst, who, for whatever reason, didn’t get on with Leila Williams, who was sacked from her position in December 1962. After a number of production changes, probably the best- remembered Production Editor, namely Biddy Baxter, took over and stayed in her position for the next 23 years.
We probably all have our favourite, or perhaps most remembered, of the show’s 40 different presenters. I grew up watching the show during the 1960s and early 1970s and my presenters started with Christopher Trace and Valerie Singleton. Christopher Trace was with the programme for nearly nine years until 1967 whilst Valerie Singleton was there from 3 September 1962 until 3 July 1972, /continued on next page 22
Village News
/continued from previous page although she made a number of ‘special assignment’ programmes up until 1981. Equally, John Noakes (with the show from 30 December 1965 until 26 June 1978) and Peter Purves (16 November 1967 to 23 March 1978) remain high up in my memory. Lesley Judd, who was with the show for nearly seven years until 1979, and Simon Groome (1978 to 1986) were probably the last presenters I watched regularly. Other famous names who presented Blue Peter included Sarah Greene, Peter Duncan, Janet Ellis, Mark Curry, Caron Keating, Yvette Fielding, John Leslie, Diane-Louise Jordan, Anthea Turner, Konnie Huq, Matt Baker, Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton. There are currently four presenters, namely Lindsey Russell, Richie Driss, Mwaka Mudenda and Adam Beales.
As well as the presenters, the show’s pets have featured highly throughout the years. There have been 10 dogs, including Petra, Patch, Shep, Goldie and Bonnie, plus the show’s six guide dogs. Nine cats, beginning with Jason, five tortoises and two parrots, Joey and Barney, have also been associated with the show.
Blue Peter is famed for its annual charity appeals, which have ranged from collecting postage stamps and milk bottle tops to aluminium cans and balls of wool, as well as Bring and Buy sales, with many millions of pounds being raised for such causes as inshore lifeboats, community mini-buses, flats for the homeless, meals on wheels vans and famine in Ethiopia.
We mustn’t forget the Blue Peter badges, a coveted item for every child (although I never got one!). These badges can be awarded for special achievements or simply for an appearance on the show. Around 22,000 badges are awarded every year. Possession of a Blue Peter badge gives the holder free access to a number of visitor attractions. The badges range from the normal or standard blue badge to silver badges if you have already won a blue badge. Then there is the green badge for conservation and environmental deeds; orange badges for competition winners; purple or team player badges; and then the prestigious gold badge. The latest holder of the Gold Blue Peter badge is Captain Sir Tom Moore. There have also been a number of special or limited edition badges.
Finally, just to mention a few of the classic clips from the show. Who can forget Lulu the baby elephant misbehaving in the studio in the 1960s, when her handler lost control and fell over, or John Noakes climbing to the top of Nelson’s Column with no safety harness? Mark Curry also managed to knock the head off a Lego model and there was the famous Tracy Island model made out of cereal packets, kitchen foil, washing up liquid bottles and various other bits and pieces by Anthea Turner. This was the homemade version of the best selling Christmas toy for 1992, but was first broadcast on 7 January 1993 and sent demand soaring again. Chris Bingham 23

Message from the District Councillor
If you are keen to give your views about Maldon District Council and its services, the council is very keen to hear from you. The annual Residents and Business Survey was launched in September and is available for six weeks until 1 November 2020. You can complete it by going to www.maldon.gov.uk/yourviews The questions cover everything from your general views about the District, and then detailed questions about health and wellbeing, climate change and detailed questions about Council services and facilities. Working with the Highways department and Essex County Council, I am continuing to push for the need for changes to be made at the Five Corners junction. As it may take some time for a permanent solution, with the help of resident Colin Heaviside, we have put forward some interim solutions. The proposals are being investigated by the Highway Engineers. During September, the joint standards committee met to discuss the allegations against the Leader of the council. He was found to have breached the code of conduct in his actions towards myself. Despite what you may have read in the local paper, I brought the complaint not for any political motive, but to ensure that all those that hold a public office behave in an appropriate manner. The decision by the committee, proved that my motives in raising a complaint were justified. The full council will vote this month to agree the sanctions against the former leader. As I am unable to hold physical district council surgeries at the moment, my intention is to hold these virtually. I am proposing to hold them on October 24th. If you wish to meet me virtually please get in touch via my email address: [email protected] to arrange a time, You can of course contact me via email or telephone if you have an urgent matter.
Stay safe and well, Richard

Great Totham Evening WI
Our committee managed to meet in August to try and plan for the future. We decided, reluctantly, that meeting face to face (or mask to mask) would not make for a very fulfilling experience at present especially with all the restrictions in place. We therefore decided to produce a goody bag for each member with a newsletter, raffle ticket and the wherewithal to make a cup of tea or coffee in a reusable collapsible cup, adding a chocolate biscuit or two for good measure!
One of our members had made face coverings for all of us so that was included too, together with a card signed by all the committee members. Each of us visited three or four people personally so they could have a one to one chat and ask them about how they saw the way forward. We received a very favourable response. Most members will be re-joining next year and are looking forward to the time we can all meet again en masse.

Great Totham Parish Council Report
The September Parish Council meeting had been scheduled to take place in the village hall, however, revised advice from the government prevented this.
Fortunately, prior to the new restrictions, members of the Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee were able to meet informally and review the plan. Only minor amendments were proposed and it is hoped the document will soon be available for consideration by residents.
We have been notified by Cllr Bentley (Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Infrastructure) that the Five Corners junction is currently under investigation following a report from the Road Safety Engineering Team, and a feasibility study will be undertaken during the 2020/21 financial year. It has been decided that lowering the speed of approach would not, currently, fit the criteria of the Essex Speed Management Strategy.
At the Annual Meeting, Cllr Durham spoke of the Locality Fund that provides financial support for community projects. If you have not yet requested assistance, but consider your proposal eligible, he may be contacted at [email protected]. There is no complicated form, merely respond outlining how your scheme will benefit the community and the funding it will require. Decisions will be made in early October.
Members have been requested to identify ‘priority potholes’ in order that they may be repaired before the winter months. Most of us are aware of one on the zebra crossing by the village shop, but, with fewer car journeys recently being undertaken, there may be some we have missed. Please let us know if you have any contenders.
In compliance with the Local Government Act 1972, the Clerk has drawn up a public notice of a casual vacancy now existing on Great Totham Parish Council. If, within 14 days, an election is not requested by ten local government electors for the parish, the vacancy will be filled by co- option.

An Appreciation of Henry Taylor Williamson Eyre
Vicar of St Peter’s church Great Totham 1877 to 1918
Henry was Curate at Coggeshall before being appointed here by Mrs Honywood, lay rector of Great Totham. His Mother, Frances, is depicted in the east window of the church as the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31. His achievements during his 40 year tenure were prodigious.
He was responsible for the Victorian expansion and improvements to the church, including the restoration of the chancel and regular Holy Communion, the stained glass east window, expansion and improvement of the vicarage introduction of Harvest Festival, building of the vestry, the north aisle, the de Crespigny pew, the choir stalls, south side tower window, tower and porch rebuilding, the organ, the pulpit, the clock, the font. Mrs Honywood financed some of this work.
He achieved his MA at Oxford. A keen campanologist, he was Treasurer and Honorary Secretary of Essex Association Of Change Ringers and was chiefly responsible for the installation of the peal of bells in the bell tower. After 21 years of service to the Association, he was presented with an inscribed silver rose bowl, which he gifted to the church in his will. A bachelor, he had three sisters, two of whom, Mary and Lucy, lived with him in the vicarage, working for the church, and never marrying.
He was a pioneer of the motor car, perhaps the first in Great Totham to own one. His driver was once prosecuted for motor offences, but Henry paid the £5 fine, a stiff penalty then. He allowed a friend to borrow his car which, unfortunately, exploded in flames due to a fault in the ignition and was destroyed. Luckily it was insured for £100, but his friend burnt his hands in the futile effort to extinguish the fire.
At this time the church was described as having “about the best-kept churchyard in Essex”. At his funeral in 1926, attended by dignitaries, including Lady de Crespigny, it was said of him that “he will be greatly missed to many who knew him as a genial friend”. He is buried in the churchyard by the edge of the path leading to the kissing gate, on the right hand side. His estate was £16,435, a very considerable sum then, the equivalent today of over £1,000,000!
“riches I need not, nor all the world’s praise, thou mine inheritance now and always”
Paul Smith- with grateful thanks to Dr James Bettley

Maldon Museum in the Park
I wonder how many people have visited the Maldon Museum in the Park. Established in London Road in the early 1920s, in a building later to become a fire station, it was moved to the High Street in 1938, finally coming to rest in the Park Keeper’s Lodge at The Prom in 1996 where, today, it is lovingly cared for by a band of dedicated volunteers.
Although the current building appears small from the outside, it is a veritable Aladdin’s cave charting the history of Maldon and the surrounding area with a comprehensive and fascinating array of artefacts set out in themed rooms. If you are interested in social history, the companies and the people who helped influence local events, you will find them here, imaginatively displayed and with friendly stewards on hand to answer all your questions. It is also an ideal place to take children, being exactly the right size and containing (as my husband says) lots of interest without feeling one has to write a thesis on it! Even when it occupied rooms above what is now Prezzo and was accessed by a rather steep staircase, my daughter loved it and no visit to town was complete without an exploration of its treasures.
From August 2nd, the Museum reopened its doors, albeit with reduced visiting hours and social distancing measures in place. Opening hours on Sundays will be 1pm-4pm, with timed entry and a maximum of six people per session. Wednesday opening times will also be 1pm- 4pm, but will be predominantly for family groups or social bubbles of up to six people and will also offer children’s activities. It is well worth a visit and, being located within the Promenade Park, is conveniently placed for a family day out.
Under the current circumstances. pre-booking is imperative and the museum can be contacted by emailing: [email protected]
Further information can be found at: www://e-voice.org.uk/maldonmuseuminthepark/noticeboard/ or on Facebook.

At Maldon & District Citizens Advice, we can help you find a way forward, by giving free, confidential advice in all subject areas.
Housing During the coronavirus outbreak most possession claims in the courts have been paused. This pause, often called an ‘eviction ban’, has now ended and the courts have started to consider claims made by landlords again. Citizens Advice research tells us that 2.6 million renters have either missed or expect to miss a rent payment because of coronavirus.
At Maldon and District Citizens Advice, we have advisers who can help both landlords and tenants understand the process, negotiate arrangements to help prevent evictions and discuss alternative housing options.
Other common problems include housing disrepair, where landlords are not carrying out the necessary work to keep a home safe, worry over being unable to make mortgage or rental payments, and tenants stuck in long term temporary accommodation.
Case Study My income has dropped due to coronavirus and I’m struggling to keep up with all of my bills. I rent my house from a private landlord and pay all the usual bills - electricity, water, and Council Tax. How best can I juggle them, and is there any help I can get from the government?
If your income is reduced because of coronavirus, you should check whether you’re entitled to sick pay or to claim benefits. You can check your eligibility for both sick pay and benefits on the Citizens Advice website.
If you’re struggling to pay rent, talk to your landlord straight away. You should explain the situation and could ask for more time to pay, a temporary reduction in rent, or ask to catch up any missed payments by instalments. If you contact Maldon and District Citizens Advice, an adviser can help you explain things to your landlord. If you can’t come to an agreement with your landlord, it’s a good idea to pay what you can afford and keep a record of what you offered.
The government has temporarily changed the law around evictions. Your landlord can’t take court action to evict you until after 20 September 2020 and the normal notice period of two months has been increased to six months.
If you already receive help with housing costs, such as Housing Benefit, you should tell the council your income has reduced. If you don’t claim it already, you might be entitled to help with housing costs from the government via a Universal Credit claim. /continued on next page

When it comes to your utilities, you should contact the provider as soon as possible. Depending on the type of bill, they may be able to arrange a payment plan, and some have schemes in place for people in financial hardship.
You should also talk to your local council; as your income has reduced, you might be entitled to a council tax reduction.
If you’re struggling to pay multiple bills, it’s important to sort out what’s known as ‘priority bills’ like energy bills or council tax. These should be paid before credit card bills. This is because the immediate consequences of not paying these bills are much more serious.
Our website has a great deal of relevant information including:
Eviction for Rent Arrears https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/housing/eviction-for-rent-arrears/ Mortgage Problems https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/debt-and-money/mortgage-problems/ Renting a Home https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/housing/renting-a-home/
While we are always careful not to advise both parties in a dispute, if you are having trouble, we would welcome you getting in touch. We have specialist housing advisers who can discuss legislation and best practice and thereby avoid potential disputes.
Please contact us for advice on any subject by:
• Phoning 01621 875774: leave a message and an adviser will return your call that day; or • Emailing [email protected]

School News
We are so excited to have been able to open our doors to all our pupils and to welcome our newest members of the Totham family in Reception. Having said that, we have not forgotten our former Year 6 pupils who conducted themselves brilliantly during their last half term at primary school.
Year 6 Leavers’ Celebrations At the end of the last academic year, the Y6 children had the opportunity to find messages posted ‘secretly’ around Wickham Bishops and Great Totham. We hope the children (and maybe you!) enjoyed searching for all 32 of the good luck messages written by the Great Totham team.
Certificate and PTFA Memory Book Presentation Drive-Thru The infant playground was transformed into a special leaver’s drive-thru where Miss Vass and the Year 6 teachers could present the children with a special leavers’ certificate and memory book. The children were able to have a lap of honour whilst being clapped and cheered by the Totham staff team!
Leavers’ Picnic on the Field The children enjoyed fun and games and a burger and chips lunch on the field together where the different bubbles could sit in a giant square, therefore seeing each other whilst maintaining distance.

British Legion Poppy Appeal
After several phone calls from the British Legion, I am sorry to say we will be unable to collect door to door in Great Totham this year. I would like to thank all the poppy collectors for their hard work in the past and hope we will be back to normal next year.
As with all charities, the British Legion will be lower on funds this year and we hope that residents will donate if possible. Linda Keyes Poppy Appeal Organiser
