Grainville School has recently launched a joint venture with Jersey College for Girls known as The Entrepreneurship Challenge 2013. It is funded and supported by Ogiers, Barclays Wealth, Jersey Telecom and Ernst and Young. Students had to form teams of between 2-6 and submit their entrepreneurial idea of how to use an initial investment of £100, to trade over 8 weeks. Headteacher John McGuinness and Business Studies Teacher Jo Carroll then selected the lucky 10 teams. On January 31st 2013, the teams met their mentors from one of the four supporting companies at The Pomme d’Or hotel and consolidated their ideas and carried out market research. They are now trading their company until the end of March, they will selling flowers, organising dance lessons, as well as creating be judged by a school and corporate partner panel in April and final customised mugs and t-shirts.

In addition, giving students the responsibility to run and organise weeks such as this also equips them with important skills they can use in the future.”

A load of old bricks? What do the Copps, Champions and Jolins have in common? They were the three families who dominated brick making in St Saviour. At one time, there were twenty-four brickfields in the Island, with a concentration in Mont a L’Abbe and St Saviour. The heyday of the industry was in the nineteenth century, although the last known brickfield carried on until the early 1950’s and was at J.W. Huelin’s at Five Oaks(now the Normans’ site). We start with Southview, operated by the Copps. It was worked from the 1890’s to 1914. It seems Southview is the house now known as Sunnydene, - the big house on the corner of La Grande Route de St Martin and the Maufant Road. For years there was a sign and decorative brick work on the house gable (Maufant Road side). The sign referred to the Copp family but is now painted over. The excavated brickfield (or more properly, clayfield) is just past Sunnydene up the Maufant Road. Like a lot

Apparently, the base of the kiln could be seen up until 1980. The other major brickfield was found at Five Oaks, and was owned by the Champion family.

Now in its 53rd year, the school hopes to raise as much money for two very important charities; Jersey Women’s Refuge and Romanian charity Ecce Homo. Locally, the Jersey Women’s Refuge operates 365 days, 24 hours a day and is a safe house where women can come to if they experience domestic abuse. The school’s international charity, Ecce Homo is a Christian charity that helps the poor offering practical and spiritual support.

Continuing from the last point of reference, ”La Preference” it traverses the field to the south of that building in a westerly direction, having to its North side the Parish of St Martin. Upon reaching a point approx. 4 200 metres from La Route de Maufant it turns through 90 degrees to the right and cuts across La Rue du Sacrament at the single location where there exists a slight dog-leg in this otherwise straight section of roadway ( photo 1 ). It then meanders northwards across the fields and traverses La Rue de La Vignette ( photo 2 looking east , ( photo 3 ) looking west) at a point approx. halfway between La Route de Maufant and La Rue du Hucquet (St Martin) and emerges onto La Rue de la Maitrerie approx. 150 metres to the East of La Route de Maufant ( photo 4 ). (Some maps show the Parish boundary following the centre line of La Rue de la Maitrerie, in actual fact none of that road comes under the jurisdiction of our Parish.)

For an appointment please telephone 726104 Spring2013 St Saviour Parish Magazine p21 A section for our younger readers How did you get on with your “bird spotting” trip in Queen’s Valley? If you did not see many different types of birds it is worth going again. I went on the Sunday after the last magazine was delivered and only saw 16 different types. I went again at the end of February and saw over 50, the best one being a Great Spotted Woodpecker. This issue we are going to find out a few things about ROAD SAFETY. Even though the dark evenings are disappearing there are still a lot of cars and lorries on our roads. Have a look at the picture on page 3 of the children from St Saviour’s School on a visit to our Parish Church. You will see that they are all wearing yellow vests, this is to make them easily seen as they walk down to the church from school and cross over the busy road by the Parish Hall. Now look at this picture here - it is the same group in the church but when the photograph was taken the flash on the camera was used. This is how a car driver clearly sees you in your reflective vest when lit up in their headlights at night or in dull and foggy weather. It shows you how good it is to wear the yellow reflective stripes vest and it can prevent an injury to you. And remember that when walking along the footpath do not walk near the kerb, you may trip and fall into the road. If you are walking with an adult or a friend it is better to stay in single file and NEVER step off the footpath into the road to pass somebody. When you want to cross a road if there is a lollipop stick person to help always cross with their help. If you are using a pelican crossing, the one with the button to press and the Red and Green man signs always remember that you must not cross straight after you have pressed the button but must wait for the red man to turn green. When the green man shows do not start to cross until you are sure that all the cars and lorries have stopped and be careful in case a cyclist suddenly comes from behind a stopped car As soon as the green man starts to flash on and off you MUST NOT start to cross- this means that the cars are about to start to move. Try not to walk along a road where there is not a proper footpath. If you have to go down a road like this always walk on the right hand side so that you are facing towards the traffic that is coming towards you. The only time that you should walk with the traffic behind you is when there is a sharp bend in the road and you cannot see the cars coming- when this happens cross over and then back again once you have cleared the bend. Parents, we have a Road Safety Officer in Jersey and he can be contacted at Police Headquarters if you have any concerns or wish advice on a road safety matter.

Underneath : The Lord Nelson Peter Hanning Below : Peter on board ship sailing across the Atlantic

Peter Hanning is no ordinary sailor. Having spent many happy hours upon the local briny, he suddenly found himself with the opportunity of a lifetime – to sail across the Atlantic on board the Lord Nelson, a fabulous square rigger which belongs to The Jubilee Sailing Trust and offers sailing trips to able-bodied and disabled people.

His trip was part of the Jubilee Sailing Trust Norton Rose Sail The World Challenge, a two-year voyage around the world to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. Peter had always wanted to sail across the Atlantic, little knowing that he would be 60 plus before realising his dream! In October 2012, Peter travelled to Southampton where he met fellow volunteer crew members and the permanent ship’s company. He holds so many happy memories of that trip it is difficult to know where to start. The ship sailed out of Southampton on 21st October 2012 –Trafalgar Day. She headed south and across the Bay of Biscay arriving in the Canaries two weeks later. “There was quite a stiff breeze during that part of the trip and some stimulating sailing,” he said. They stayed for a week in Las Palmas before setting off across the Atlantic to the UNESCO World Heritage islands of Fernando de Noronha, off Recife, in northern Brazil. The SE trade winds were perfect sailing weather for crossing the turn. When not on watch, people were catching up on sleep, or Atlantic: “We enjoyed the best sailing conditions I have experienced, doing their mess duties, washing, cleaning, etc. and certainly better than expected,” he said. Plenty of marine life was seen actively chasing the ship, or just As they sailed towards the Equator, the Captain organised a keeping company. “There were minke whales, humpbacked whales, sweepstake competition to work out the time the ship would cross dolphins, flying fish; and plenty of birdlife too, such as boobies, and the equator (Peter won coming within 5 minutes, although another skuas,” he said. crew member was also very close.

Having said this, I suspect that there was something very exciting about the Easter Day : 8.00 am Holy Communion (BCP) tradition in Radnorshire on the Welsh 9.45 am Parish Eucharist (Sung) border of climbing the nearest mountain at daybreak on Easter morning to see the sun's rays dancing in joy at the Resurrection. This would be done by crowds of people. That Welsh custom is a reminder to us in our very individualistic culture that Christian belief is a shared thing. Yes, our individual faith matters. However, it is greatly enriched by being understood and experienced as part of the corporate faith and belief of our local Christian community and of the worldwide Church. This, I think, is one of the reasons why modern creeds begin with the words "We believe" rather than "I believe." There is also the advantage that at major festivals people, who for one reason or another have lapsed from church attendance, can feel free to try leaning a little on the faith of others.
