This magazine is produced for the benefit of the residents of Helmdon Parish and is sponsored by the Parish Council. Its articles and comments however are from the credited individuals and organisations that choose to write to the editor for inclusion in the magazine. EDITORS LETTER Dear readers, Welcome again to YOUR village magazine. I do hope you enjoy the content of the magazine and chose to act upon the many and various calls for help and support contained within it. The village is embarking on many new campaigns led by the “Helmdon Parish Plan” which is proving to be a great rallying call for the village to get up and chose its own future. But please don’t forget our more simple pleas for help at the churchyard or with the teas at the drop in centre which have potentially less appeal but are still a vital part of the workings of our community. The post office is in fact another good example of a service that the village used to have as a permanent facility and now relies on the good will of our neighbouring village post office, Wappenham. If it doesn’t get enough use then we will lose even this facility. This is a vital service, particularly to the elderly in the community, but if we don’t use it we will lose it. It would be great if everyone could make just one effort to visit it in the next 6 months to see what a difference it can make (Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons in the reading room). I look forward to reporting back to you in this in the next issue. I have been stricter this issue with deadlines and reminders to contributors simply through lack of time on my part. Hopefully the fact that I have fixed deadlines for each issue will gain momentum in the community to a point where reminders are no longer necessary (yeah right and the winning loto numbers next week are my telephone number!). Until then I give a big thanks to those who were able to meet this issue deadline and hope to catch up with everyone in the next issue. Deadline for contributions to the next issue is : Feb 22nd, however anything provided before that date helps us enormously with pacing out the workload of preparing the copy. The Helmdon web site has now kindly created a section for the magazine, giving you the editorial guidelines of the magazines and allowing you to download “contributor” and “advertiser” mini- guides. Please have a browse and get involved with your village magazine. http://www.helmdon.com/talkabout/index.htm or simply go to www.helmdon.com and click on the link under “village life”. The site also allows those of you with patience or broadband Internet connections (files are in the multi-megabytes size) to download the magazine in electronic copy. This brings me neatly on to “opt out”. The magazine is a costly publication to print and it would be a real shame to think that all the effort of getting the advertising support to print the magazine was being thrown in the bin. So if this is what happens in your household, could you make a one off contribution to the village community by letting me know that you would rather “opt out”. I can then remove your from the delivery list and print fewer copies. (This assumes that these households get as far as reading this ☺ ). Please call or email me using the contacts on the front of the magazine. The second reason you might want to opt out is because you are happy to download the magazine from the web site and read it on screen or print out your own copy. This has only just become – 4 – www.helmdon.com your community website realistic since the village can now have broadband Internet connections thanks to our broadband campaign. A thank you again to the team of deliverers who give up their own time to deliver the 400+ copies of the magazine to all the houses in the Parish. If you do find that you are reading someone else’s copy because you did not get a delivery, please call us and we will gladly drop a copy round and update our delivery list. Also on this note I did not get any volunteers to deliver the magazine to those properties along the Astwell track (I called for help in the last issue due to the condition of the road to these properties). So with the kind agreement of Bungalow Stores I will be leaving your copies there for collection in the future and will provide one last postal or hand delivery for those properties for this issue. These are the properties involved: Astwell Castle Farm House, Astwell Castle Farm Flat, No.1 Astwell Castle Cottages, No.2 Astwell Castle Cottages, No.3 Astwell Castle Cottages, Astwell Park Farm, Astwell Park Bungalow, Astwell Park Barn, New House Near Astwell Park Bungalow, New Astwell Park Bungalow, Astwell New Park Farm, Old Park Farm, Astwell Mill. If your copies are not collected then I will assume that you want to be on the “opt out” list. My final thanks goes to Bungalow Stores who have been selling the magazine for us at £2 per copy and so far have sold over 10 copies. If you need additional copies of this issue or the last issue please pop down and see them, they will have 10 or so copies for sale. ◊ Richard ◊ Editor: Talkabout Magazine 01295 768508 [email protected] – 5 – www.helmdon.com your community website CLASSIFIED ADVERTS For high quality: Computer Problems? ********************** ☼ Personal Tuition ☼ # Kitchen fitting ☼ Virus Fixes ☼ # Bathroom fitting ☼Maintenance ☼ Liz Linford # Carpentry ☼ Broadband Set-up ☼ * Chiropractor * # Tiling ☼ Web Design ☼ # Decorating ☼ Repairs & Upgrades ☼ * Therapeutic

    HELMDON VOICE Winter 2014

    HELMDON VOICE www.helmdon.com Winter 2014 New stone wall marks the Station Road entrance to Helmdon The end of January saw the unveiling of a stone wall at the top of Station Road. The structure consists of a pillar on one side of the road and a pillar and small wall on the other and was designed by Clare Nash, an architect who lives in the village, and who gave her time voluntarily. The majority of the stone used is Helmdon stone, kindly donated by Mike and Julia O’Brien. Patrick Gartside, a local builder with family connections in Helmdon, constructed the wall which commemorates the Queen’s Jubilee of 2012. Patrick Gartside and Clare Nash It was funded both from reserves held by Helmdon Parish Council and from a grant from South Northants Council under the New Homes Bonus Scheme. HYHO has also pledged £200. The aim of the project is to enhance the environment at the village entrance and hopefully to deter drivers from dropping litter. SNC consults on the Local Plan South Northamptonshire Council (SNC) has commenced the preparation of a Local Plan which will be the main land- use planning document for the district. It will guide the decision-making process for future planning applications across South Northamptonshire, including those in Helmdon. SNC consulted Helmdon Parish Council about the plan and the parish council responded using information and evidence gathered by the Helmdon Parish Plan Group (HPPG). The HPPG met twice before Christmas and once afterwards to review data gathered for the original Helmdon Parish Plan (2003/4) and for the Parish Plan Refresh (2011) as well as looking at feedback from residents submitted over Christmas (thanks to those people that responded!).

Such was their enthusiasm that the work has expanded into looking at other aspects, notably the Roll of Honour of Old Boys of Helmdon School Who Served in the First World War. First published in 2014, this 2016 update includes newly discovered facts and stories. The most relevant, up-to-date information available has been put together and can be printed off as a booklet. It is to be hoped that it will not only add to the history of Helmdon but that it will go some way to honour the great sacrifice made by those village servicemen. The authors apologise that some entries do not contain as much detail as others; available records are not always fruitful.

So, I nipped round to the church on 2nd April, put on all the lights inside, the Frank Hunter, Church warden floodlights on the tower and thought ‘Why don’t I play some hymns on the sound system at full blast and open the doors?!’ Afterwards I thought, ‘We can do better than that!’ On 9th I took my little Bingo Caller’s amp and played ‘Land of Hope and Glory’, ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Nimrod’ outside the Church.

    2021 PRODUCER INFORMATION and WOOL VALUES British Wool, Your Trusted Partner

    2021 PRODUCER INFORMATION AND WOOL VALUES British Wool, Your Trusted Partner. britishwool.org.uk PRODUCER INFORMATION AND WOOL VALUES Welcome to British Wool’s Producer Information and Wool Values booklet. As a cooperative, we firmly believe that the collaborative marketing of the UK wool clip by British Wool is the best way to deliver value for wool producers. If anything, the principal of collaborative marketing is even more essential today than it was when British Wool was established in 1950. The wool clip needs to be sorted and amalgamated into commercial weights if it is to be used by manufacturers and achieve value for producers. The average clip size in the UK is around 500kg and this typically comprises 10 grades of wool. The UK is fortunate to still have two commercial scouring plants but these typically process wool in 50,000kg batches. Export to other markets such as China is in 24,000kg shipping containers where all lots must be core tested. Without our scale, grading and testing the clip would have lower value and the viability of UK wool processing would be jeopardised. With 35,000 members we are able to both aggregate the clip into commercial weights and offer a true nationwide service handling the wool from all UK wool producers, no matter what type of wool, or how much wool they have. The more wool we handle the more cost effective our operations become, which in turn allows us to return more value to all producers. If an additional 1000 farmers each delivered 500kg, our operating costs for all producers would fall by 1p per kilo.
