Brew Monday - Samaritans Have a brew Save lives Help beat the January blues: get together with friends, family or colleagues on 21 January 2019, have a brew and raise vital funds to help save lives. Thank you from the Draycot Group of Churches In 2018 the Draycot Group of Churches decided to have a joint focus for their Harvest fund raising.. We are very grateful to Anthony Hughes for all his hard work in co– coordinating everyone’s efforts, and encouraging our schools and village organisations to join in. Doorway in Chippenham greatly appreciated the many generous gifts that were donated for Harvest. The money gifts that were given has resulted in a total of £2000 for SSAFA, and £500 Doorway. Cheques will be presented to both charities in the New Year. There was a balance of just over £90 and the Benefice Council agreed this would be spent on purchasing Christmas treats for Doorway guests. Thank you for all your generous support. From the Chapel When I was about 10, I saved up 7s 6d. for some roller-skates. With 3 other children I played ‘hockey’ in the road using upturned walking-sticks. One morning I was hurtling along the pavement near my house, and as I approached a roadside tree I couldn’t make up my mind whether to keep on the pavement or swerve into the road to avoid it. I left it too late, and crashed headlong into that tree. One can dither too long! How about sitting on the fence regarding allegiance to God & His Christ? An old hymn runs “Once to every man & nation, comes the moment to decide”. The first disciples Peter & Andrew, James & John were quick to respond to Christ’s call. Another man described as a rich young ruler, turned away as he felt he had too much to give up. The freedom to choose is ours! In Sunday School many of us were asked to ‘decide for Christ’, and to ‘give our lives to Him’. For lots of us, many years have passed since those youthful enthusiastic days. But God is renowned for giving people a second chance. King David and the Apostle Paul come to mind. The choice we make does not only come into effect in this life, but more importantly after we have passed into the life to come. Could it be that it is the right TIME TO DECIDE for you! Sylvia Chumbley THE BENEFICE OF DRAYCOT DIOCESE OF BRISTOL Dear Friends, The presents have been given, opened and maybe even returned. The food and drink have been consumed. The sparkling lights, decorations, cards and Christmas tree are soon packed away. The carols have been sung. It’s easy to feel the January blues at this time of the year. Some of us, however, may even be glad that it’s all over. For many of us, Christmas brings up so many emotions, memories and expectations. We have one Nativity story, but it can seem like we all have very different Christmases. For some it may have been a time of joy and togetherness. Or perhaps it’s all about planning and to-do lists. For others it may have been a lonely and sad time. Whatever your experience of Christmas, the new calendar year is here. A time for fresh starts and new undertakings, a chance to shake off the old and welcome in the new. Maybe it’s time to start a new hobby, contact long lost friends and family, get fit, declutter or volunteer to help others. Perhaps you may have a bigger change planned- a new house, job or school? The good news is that Jesus promises us a new start every day- “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. — Lamentations 3:22-23 Epiphany is celebrated on 6th January and the end of the twelve days of Christmas. It tells us that Jesus came for all mankind to let us know that we are loved today and forever. Whatever your new year has in store, I pray that it will be a blessed and happy one. May God bless us all today, this new year and always. Dawn Beresford Pastoral Care - Looking after one another in the Draycot Benefice The Church of England operates on a geographical basis, so it is the local parish church which is given the responsibility for the pastoral care of all who live within the parish boundary, whether or not they are regular members of the congregation. Pastoral care comes in a variety of ways: supporting baptism families and wedding couples, visiting those who have been bereaved (before and after a funeral), welcoming new villagers, bringing communion to those who are housebound, or visiting at times of sickness or crisis. The traditional view (although probably a myth!) used to be that it was the vicar who would and should carry out pastoral visits. That would be a challenge in one parish, but impossible today across 5 villages, even with a ministry team. One of the strengths of rural communities, which we are lucky to share in, is that neighbours do look out for one another in our villages. All Christians are called to help and serve the community they are part of, caring and helping when and where they can, as a practical sign of God’s love for everyone.

  • Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, Pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical
    Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical Society was founded in 1992. A large group of enthusiasts had been recruited and trained to observe and record wild plants in Wiltshire during the work for the 1993 Flora of Wiltshire. It was felt to be important to maintain this joint interest and activity. The Society was therefore inaugurated to act as a focus for its continuation. The aims of the Society, as enshrined it its constitution, are; • To encourage anyone interested in plants, both beginners and knowledgeable botanists. • To be a forum where members can learn more about plants and exchange ideas and information, eg by holding field and indoor meetings and by producing a newsletter. • To organize projects and working groups to study aspects of the Wiltshire flora. • To encourage a respect for and conservation of the Wiltshire flora and habitats. • To study and extend knowledge of the Wiltshire flora. The Society has maintained its membership, which now numbers 80-90, and has organized a consistently interesting programme of events. An informative and interesting newsletter has appeared regularly. A wide range of detailed work on the Wiltshire flora has been undertaken. To encourage and coordinate this work, a Science Group was set up in 1994. Its aims, summarized from the more comprehensive account in its minutes, are: • To encourage, advise and guide recording activities. • To play a part in the planning of meetings and workshops to maximise their educational impact. To facilitate identification of plant material. • To organize and publish records. • To ensure that surveys and other projects are carried out in as effective and scientific a manner as possible.

  • FAO Mr Lee Burman, Development Management, Wiltshire County Council
    From: Bill Ford Sent: 28 August 2017 22:21 To: Developmentmanagement Subject: Planning Reference 17/03417/OUT FAO Mr Lee Burman, Development Management, Wiltshire County Council. From William Ford, The Grey House, Draycot Cerne, SN15 5LD 28th August 2017 Dear Mr Burman, I am writing to re confirm my OBJECTION to the planning application 17/03417/OUT following my review of the revisions to the original application by St Modwen. St Modwen have clearly taken advantage of the intervening period of over three months since the first deadline for submission of comments to develop their application to try and deflect some of the concerns expressed about the original plans. It seems to be a quirk of the planning system that by comparison with St Modwen we have been allowed only 14 days to look at a further tranche of substantial documents. However despite the revisions and further embellishments, the basic plan to deliver c. 1 million of B8 storage remains unchanged and my objections outlined in my first letter of objection dated May 5th therefore remain. I do however want to make the following further comments. 1. I am confident that you have the experience in planning applications to see past some of St Modwens tactics and the rosy picture that they try and paint. I am concerned however by the licence that they take and the gross inaccuracies and factual errors in so much of their work. For example in para 14 of the response to Spatial Planning they say 'Furthermore, it (jct 17) represents the only motorway junction within Wiltshire.......'.
