Are glad to support the Public Access Defibrillator Fund and are please to report that as well as our Charity Christmas Card col- lection raising £160.00 we have also received £120 in donations for the PAD Fund. Thank you! This brings the total to within £500 of our aim of £3,000. It is hoped that our Cider and Pasty Quiz night, see page 13 for details, on Saturday 30th January at the Minstrels Centre should see us reach our total. This should then see us inline to have the PAD installed by East- er.

WWARBSTOWARBSTOW PPARISHARISH CCOUNCILOUNCIL
CANWORTHY WATER SOLAR FARM COMMUNITY FUND
At last the four local parishes have reached an agreement with Primrose Solar regarding the Canworthy Water Solar Farm Community Fund. All the paperwork has been signed and a new bank account set up to hold and manage the funds. The next job for the Parish Council is to decide the nature of the projects to be supported and the procedures that we will need to adopt to administer the fund. The fund will receive £10,000 in 2016 followed by 18 annual payments of £1,200 between 2017 and 2035. In 2036 there will be a final payment of £2,500. Our thanks to David Uglow for representing us at the meetings with Primrose Solar and securing the money for Warbstow Parish. Once agreed the details of how this fund is to be managed will be published in the Warbstow and District Newsletter and on the Parish Council website.
DOG POOH BINS
The start of the another New Year could not pass without the mention of dog pooh. This delicate subject continues to be mentioned at Parish Council meetings. We have contacted Cornwall Council to see if it will be possible for a dog pooh bin to be installed either at the entrance to the Community Centre or by the bench opposite Rose Cottage. Neither location is ideal but they are both central within the village and probably offer the most
appropriate locations.
NEXT PARISH COUNCIL MEETING
The next meeting of the Warbstow Parish Council is to be held on Tuesday 2nd February at 7.30 pm at Canworthy Water Sunday School. As usual any thoughts you have on these or other issues will be appreciated and can be emailed to me at [email protected] .
Finally Warbstow Parish Council would like to wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Philip Uglow - Chairperson

POEMS FOR THE NEW YEAR
Below are some favourite poems of mine to start the year of 2016. Perhaps you have some special poems about the coming months that you might like to be included in future editions of the Warbstow News. If you do, email Gerry or myself at the address at the front of the magazine or post them through the door of Gardenview. It would be great to have some fresh ideas.
Happy New Year!
To The New Year by William Stanley Merwin
With what stillness at last you appear in the valley your first sunlight reaching down to touch the tips of a few high leaves that do not stir as though they had not noticed and did not know you at all then the voice of a dove calls from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning
so this is the sound of you here and now whether or not anyone hears it this is where we have come with our age our knowledge such as it is and our hopes such as they are invisible before us untouched and still possible

Pullitzer Prize for Poetry.

January by John Updike
The days are short, The sun a spark, Hung thin between
The dark and dark.
Fat snowy footsteps Track the floor. Milk bottles burst
Outside the door.
The river is A frozen place Held still beneath
The trees of lace.
The sky is low. The wind is gray. The radiator
Purrs all day.
John Updike was an American novelist, poet, short story writer, art critic, and literary critic.
The Darkling Thrush by Thomas Hardy
I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires.
The land’s sharp features seemed to be The Century’s corpse outleant, His crypt the cloudy canopy, The wind his death-lament. Cont…..
Page 17
The ancient pulse of germ and birth Was shrunken hard and dry, And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.
At once a voice arose among The bleak twigs overhead In a full-hearted evensong Of joy illimited; An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small, In blast-beruffled plume, Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
So little cause for carolings Of such ecstatic sound Was written on terrestrial things Afar or nigh around, That I could think there trembled through His happy good-night air Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.

The guides have been having lots of fun recently, going for an evening walk down the canal path from Hele Bridge to Bude in the dark, eating some chips in the crescent car park then walking back along the canal path. They have also been busy making Christmas crafts and enjoyed an evening bowling, ending with a promise ceremony on the beach by torch light. We have been fundraising for 5 girls and 2 leaders who are joining a district trip to Switzerland in April 2016, holding a big breakfast, coffee mornings, a bingo evening completing a sponsored swim, as well as receiving donations from Bude Carnival committee, Launceston Lions and others.
We are delighted that we have been able to reopen our Rainbow unit, so if you have a daughter aged 5-7 years who is interested in joining please get in contact with either Mary on 01840 230006 or Helena on 07966484690 alternatively register her interest in joining at http:// www.girlguiding.org.uk/get_involved.aspx.
We have found a leader eager to set up a Brownie unit (for girls aged 7 – 10 years), so watch out for further details. If you are interested in volunteer- ing to help with the unit please do get in touch. Louise Cowling

GGLENTONLENTON BBROWNROWN CCCC
I expect you have all heard on the radio or read in the press the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer for Cornwall Council. Catherine Kennally has been duly appointed and will take up her duties in January 2016. She comes from the London Borough of Barnet and has progressed her career rapidly over the last 10 years, and is in complete agreement with our policy for devolution, mixed services, and especially anything to do with the service departments for the people of Cornwall.
At the last full council at County Hall, Truro on 24th November there were 14 motions for members to discuss and vote on. I will share one or two which may be of interest to you. The first motion, which was most enthusiastically supported and passed, was the lowering of the voting age to 16. This, of course, means that every young person aged 16 or over can vote! When you consider the intense study and examinations our young people have passed by the age of 16 and continue to do for the following three or four years at least, one realises how well informed our young people are. One hopes this will be an incentive for them to use their vote and feel a valued citizen of the United Kingdom. Another motion passed was for parent and toddler car parking spac- es to be made available in Cornwall Council car parks. This incentive is being developed by the transport policy advisory committee. The Cornwall Council car parks scheme was passed but there is still some administration work to be implemented. The 5th December was a free car parking day in all car parks throughout the County as an incentive for people to do their Christmas shop- ping! A motion was passed with regard to Council owned homes not being used for residential use. In some instances houses have been used for storage and office accommodation. This motion is going to be thoroughly examined by the Housing and Environment Policy Committee. Another motion you will be pleased to hear was that the Council voted to ban sky lanterns from Council property. In reality, although these lanterns look extremely attractive in the night sky, unfortunately, they fall into fields where livestock can chew them and swallow sharp wire etc, and they are also a particularly high risk to thatched cottages. There was only one vote against this motion. Council then went on to discuss the Police and Crime revision formula which is proposing drastic cuts to funding the Police Service in Cont….

……. Devon and Cornwall, which would result in losing all our PCSOs which I think would be a great disappointment indeed. Mr Hogg, our Crime Commissioner, does deserve some credit in spearheading and gaining some support from other officers to make the Government think again about the extra chunk of money they were going to take from the Police Service. Also the Council is continuing to look into the removal of business rates from public conveniences in Cornwall. I am sure this will come to pass but it is taking ra- ther a long time.
May I take this opportunity of wishing you all good health and progress in 2016.

WWARBSTOWARBSTOW FFLORALLORAL AARTRT GGROUPROUP
Our group was formed last year following two successful flower festivals at Warbstow Church in 2013 and 2014. For most of us, it was our first experience of floral art, but we felt that we wanted to learn more. We were lucky enough to have two members who were more experienced and so, throughout 2015, we have improved our skills and produced some amazing displays for our own homes and the church. Another successful flower festival was held in Warbstow Church. Local support for our flower festivals has been extraordinary and we have been able to raise money for the church and the defibrillator fund.
The 2016 flower festival will be held in Warb- stow Church from Friday 17th June to Monday 20th June inclusive. We will be celebrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday and each display will depict a decade of her life from the 1920s to the present day. Please make a note of this in your diaries. More information will be given nearer the time.
This year, we would like to place container displays on the pathways approaching the church. With this in mind, I would like to ask all you gardeners out there if you could spare some bedding plants, pots, etc. which can be prepared beforehand. Any help with this task would also be appreciated. Alternatively, you may be able to loan us some ready planted
containers. Please contact me if you think that you can help.
Our group meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month commencing at 2pm. In January we will be setting up our programme for the year. We meet in our various members homes so if you think you would like to join us, please ring for a chat or send an email for the location of the next get together.

TTHELMAHELMA''SS DDIARYIARY
31st October Visited Golitha Falls and Minions and The Hurlers. The stones at The Hurlers, a perfect place for grandchildren to play hide
and seek.
7th November Barnstaple Queen's Theatre - show, “That'll be the day”. A super birthday present. Great music and comedy. Will try
and book when it's in our area again.
11th November A revamp of the Church Vestry. Moving cupboards etc. The song "Right said Fred" sprang to mind! "Right said Fred, both of us together, one each end, and steady as we go".
Substituting Ian and Graham for Fred. End result, excellent.
12th November School bring and buy. Busy, with lots of things to buy.
18th November Warbstow school assembly. A really enjoyable afternoon. Children very confident entertaining us with music. Lovely!
9th December School play. Two plays, A little bird told us and Matilda.. So good, went again on the following night.
15th December Warbstow school carol concert at the Church. As always, a really special occasion. Church full.
17th December Christmas concert at The Minstrels Centre. A great evening's
