6 REFLECTIONS WEDDING VOWS By Rev Michael Matthews
Currently, all around us are the adverts for 'St. Valentines Day'. Next month I will host a ‘wedding afternoon’ for all couples planning to be married in our local churches in 2014.
We will spend the afternoon exploring suitable music, on the organ and otherwise, discussing flowers, readings, bridesmaids, best men and banns but most of all ‘getting the feel’ of what the beauty and tradition of our beautiful Medieval village churches will bring to one of life’s most important moments.
Couples come from many different starting points. For some, it is two young people newly met, recently engaged and looking forward to the day of their dreams. For others, it may be that they have been together for a while, may have children and are looking forward to a deepening of their love, their relationship with one another and taking a new place in the community. Finally, for others, it is a second marriage, brought about by every range of circumstance and they are looking forward to fresh beginnings and a new start.
On this afternoon, we come together from these diverse places and with a common purpose. Surely, this is what a church is for. We come to God’s house to give thanks, to put things right with ourselves, with our neighbours and with those we love and in this special case, to plan and prepare to receive God’s blessing, freely given in marriage and to go out transformed.
A church is there to welcome everyone; it is one of the few organisations that exists principally for those who do not think themselves members but who, like those that are, find that they have within themselves a deep longing (maybe as yet only a whisper) for a spiritual dimension to their way of living. Our Parish Church is there for those who are becoming conscious that refreshment for the soul is the best possible tonic and foundation for life.
Of course, such thoughts are not confined to the day you marry and God’s blessing is always with us and there is always the possibility of new life and joy and transformation.
As we celebrate our shared love for one another, this month, we can also gives thanks for the love that we all receive each and every day, by and through the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 8 FRIENDS OF ST. MARY’S AND ST. ANDREW’S
In February the Friends of St Mary’s and St Andrew’s are looking forward to a lunch for members at the William Cecil Hotel in Stamford on Wednesday 5th February at 12.30 for 1pm.
The next official meeting will take place on Wednesday 19th February at 10.30 in the Community Hall after Morning Prayer at St Mary’s at 10am.
The Lent Lunches are starting on 12th March at 12.15 in The Christie Hall after Morning Prayer at St May’s at 11.30am. They will take place every Wednesday during Lent, five in all. Entrance is free. All donations will be forwarded to Christian Aid as in the past. More about those in the next issue of Living Villages. Dora Baker, Secretary

14 COMMUNICARE
The meeting of Communicare held in January was unfortunately poorly attended –a presentation on the new ‘111’ service detailed how it would operate, outlining various pathways that will be followed subsequent to a call being made to the local handling centre. The whole concept is to eliminate both unnecessary multiple phone calls as well as reducing numbers using local ED departments. Dr Takhar enhanced the presentation with additional information, but the actual launch date is still unclear – this may be announced shortly and patients will be kept informed – an extensive media coverage is planned when this happens.
Dr Takhar confirmed that final permission from the underground gas pipe company to proceed with completion of the new carpark was expected within the next two weeks.
The new ‘stand-alone’ Blood pressure monitoring machine at Wansford is now operative. There will be forms available from reception to complete and hand back together with the printout from the machine – reception staff will assess the results shown and decide whether there is a necessity for an appointment with a nurse or doctor. Leaflets are also being produced on guidance for using the machines both at Wansford and Kings Cliffe.
Communicare has covered the cost of renewing the Cryosurgery contract for a further three years (£1700). A question was raised whether this service could be offered out to other practices for a fee - Dr Takhar confirmed that liquid nitrogen could be supplied in canisters for use elsewhere, but as there are no budgets available to cover costs, he was doubtful that other surgeries would take up this offer.
The report on the Borderline Patient Forum gave details of a presentation by the Carerstrust Cambridgeshire Crossroads service. This organisation provides respite care to all age groups following completion of a prescription by a doctor and relevant assessment of need. After one respite session Crossroads follow up to ascertain any ongoing support requirement. Dr Takhar gave information on a local group in Oundle called Carers Support - In Oundle the Carers Cafe meets on the 4th Thursday of the month at Oundle MIND, 1 Herne Park, East Road, PE8 4BX between 1pm - 3pm Tel 01933 677837 email:[email protected] Website: www.northamptonshire-carers.org
The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Borderline forum are due to be elected in April – the existing Chairman, Michael Bacon, has indicated his willingness to be nominated for re-election - other nominations had to be lodged by mid-January – any patient who has been a member of a PPG for over 12 months would be eligible for nomination. Although the closing date for this year’s election will have closed by this publication date – if any pa- tient feels they are able to contribute to the important work of this forum, please contact the Secretary, Clare Wagstaffe on [email protected].
Dr Takhar gave a presentation on the Care Quality Commission which began its work in April 2013, visiting practices, hospitals, care homes, etc. to verify standards of location, operation, care, cleanliness, etc. Continued on p18
15 WANSFORD’S VOW BRIDAL GALLERY
WINS TOP NATIONAL AWARD
Local bridal boutique, Vow Bridal Gallery, based in Wansford, fought off all comers at the Wedding Industry Awards in London to win the prestigious national award for the Best Menswear Provider 2014. Having won the Regional Award for the East of England in November, Vow went through to the national finals held at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in Lon- don. Here the regional winners representing the best wedding suppliers in the country were gathered to hear if they had achieved the ultimate accolade of national winners and Vow did!
The Wedding Industry Awards are the only customer voted independent National awards for the wedding industry which means the results have real value to anyone organising a wedding and looking for the best wedding suppliers in their area.
Lisa Smith and Dave Gallagher set up ‘Vow’, selling designer bridal gowns and hiring men’s wedding and formal suits, just over two years ago in the court- yard of the Haycock Hotel, Wansford. “To win the Regional award so early on in our business was brilliant” Dave says “but to win this highly prestigious national award is not only unbelievable but absolutely fantastic!” Lisa added; “We are really grateful to our customers who went out of their way to vote for us. It means so much that they would take the time and trouble, and to see their comments is very humbling”.
Dave said; “When we started our business we wanted to ensure our grooms receive the same amount of care and attention as the bride. Now Peterborough area grooms have the best in the country right on their door- step! We look forward to looking after our new customers just as well as we have obviously looked after our past customers. And, now here comes the really hard work, defending our title at the Wedding Industry Awards 2015!”
Already stocking award winning bridal designers and now being award winners themselves with their menswear hire, the Vow Bridal Gallery offers a ‘total look’ for any discerning bride and groom.
Why not check them out for yourselves! See their advert opposite, visit their website: www.vowbridal.co.uk or book an appointment on 01780 781101 or email [email protected].
16 17 Communicare continued from p15
As a visit by the CQC has been made recently to Oundle surgery, it is anticipated that Wansford may be assessed shortly – this can be done without prior warning although usually 2/3 days notice is given. Talking to patients is involved – either by virtue of their being in the waiting room at the time or by pre-arrangement to attend. Several patients indicated willingness to take part.
Dr Takhar gave information regarding diabetic eye-screening – progress has been made for Wansford/Kings Cliffe patients to be referred to Peterborough in future, instead of Kettering area. The screening team have asked the PPG to confirm they still support the switch as it was originally requested in 2010 and there will need to be care taken for safe transition with transfer of existing data.
A patient raised the question of the future of Kings Cliffe surgery – Dr Takhar confirmed that currently the surgery will remain as it is – recent update work has brought the premises up to acceptable standard – but he did not rule out possible relocation at some time in the future based on further planned development within the village. The aim was to keep costs manageable whilst maintaining local services and he felt it was particularly important to retain the local surgeries rather than being incorporated into much larger practices around the Peterborough area.
The Social Group continue to hold their monthly coffee mornings at Kings Cliffe Active Hall on the third Friday at 10am – all newcomers welcome.

Since that time Thalia has achieved considerable success in both sports and has represented Cambridgeshire in tennis and Northamptonshire in golf in both junior and ladies categories.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? THOMAS WOOLSEY By Martin Lewis CHARITY This is the second article in our series (to be published every other month, in case you where wondering what happened in January’s magazine!) in which we catch up with the lives of ex students of all ages from our villages who have been supported with a grant from the Thomas Woolsey Charity to help in the purchase of books for their studies.
In this edition, we hear from Sophie Milne, daughter and step daughter of Diane and Stuart Foreman who live in Thornhaugh. Sophie, now 32, is married and living in Groby, Leicester with her husband and children. In 2001 she decided to study at De Montford University, Leicester, initially for a Diploma in Mental Health Nursing. This is her story, told in her own words.

22 WANSFORD PARISH COUNCIL
The Parish Council met on Monday 13th January 2014 at 7.30pm. Present were councillors L Fox-Clipsham, N Meredith, T Pearson, J Stannage (Chair) and G Stevens. Also in attendance were Wendy Gray (Parish Clerk), 3 members of the public, PCSO’s Michael Courtney-Hunt and Martha Hurley. Councillor Holdich joined for part of the meeting.
Policing in Wansford PCSO’s Michael Courtney-Hunt and Martha Hurley attended the first part of the meeting. The area in which Wansford falls is now covered by 11 PCSO’s which will ensure increased attendance at WPC meetings. The council raised the following issues with the PCSO’s:
Speeding in the village: The PCSO described “Speedwatch”, an initiative that helps communities improve road safety through an “educate rather than punish” approach. It includes loan of real time speed display boards, locally based feedback schemes and official police monitoring (which includes warning letters being sent to speeding drivers). The initiative relies on at least 2 local volunteers who would be trained up to use the loan equipment for at least one day. The Parish Council would be grateful for any volunteers to assist with a first monitoring exercise in April/May 2014. If you can help, please contact John Stannage ([email protected]).
Cold calling and rogue traders: The PCSO’s confirmed that specialist signs to deter cold callers are no longer available from the council, and have subsequently been replaced with stickers for residents’ windows. The stickers have been clearly worded to warn unwelcome visitors that a refusal to go away is a crime enforced by Trading Standards. The PCSOs urged any member of the community experiencing issues with cold callers or rogue traders to immediately call “101” together with any offending vehicle registration numbers.

A Book Review by Karina Chappell (10)
Sky Horses The Whispering Tree By Linda Chapman
Sky Horses is an enchanting story about a little girl called Erin who discovers that she is a stardust spirit. She also discovers that she is not an ordinary stardust spirit but a special one called a “weather weaver”. This means that she can speak to Sky Horses; they are the special horses that control the weather with their movements.
An evil stardust spirit called Marianne wants to control the weather and wants the Sky Horse herd for herself. She captures Tor, the leader of the herd of Sky Horses, because she needs his royal blood to have full control over the sky. Erin and her new friend Chloe have to stop her otherwise a storm will break out killing lots of people.
I think that this book is amazing and I would definitely recommend it to girls within the age range of 9 to 12 years old. It was amazing because it is about magic and well written. The story was exciting with lots of action, like when Marianne tries to steal a special diary from Erin. They were using magic against each other like wizards in Harry Potter books. I would recommend it because people who enjoy this genre will enjoy reading this book.
Thank you so much for reading my ‘book review’ on the enchanting book Sky Horses, The Whispering Tree.

PHILIPPINES APPEAL
The local community has pulled out all the stops to support the Philippines typhoon appeal. Canon William Burke started the ball rolling in December by launching an appeal in his parish, including Stibbington, Water Newton, Sutton, Upton, Marholm and Castor. As a result of the appeal a cheque for a grand total of £1119 was sent to a church agency in the Philippines.
On 10 January a fund raising event for the Philippines was held at Stibbington Centre. David Worth, husband of Stibbington Centre teacher, Caroline gave a highly entertaining and informative presentation on his work as a volunteer in the Philippines in 2012, and this was followed by a delicious Filippino supper and a raffle which had been kindly supported by local businesses.
Staff at the Centre were delighted to find that the generosity of those members of the local community who supported the event resulted in £500 being raised for the appeal in just one evening!
David was due to return to the Philippines the very next day to help with the relief effort and so he has already been able to put the funds to good use. The photos that he has sent show some of the basic tools and school materials that he has purchased for use in Tacloban where the school at which he taught as a volunteer last year now has no roof. We look forward to updates from David on the relief effort in the Philippines and his contribution to it. Rosie Edwards

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Walk and talk
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US?
We meet every Tuesday at 10.30 outside Wansford church, come rain or shine. You’re welcome to come along every week or just when you can.
Our walks are mostly through Old Sulehay Forest. We walk along the paths and bridleways enjoying the fresh air and good company.
When you walk often in the woods you appreciate the changing seasons and come back feeling refreshed.
Sometimes the group splits into two and some will go back after an hour, leaving others to take a longer walk. Its a happy, healthy, friendly way to spend an hour or two of your week. Wellies or strong shoes are needed and appropriate clothes.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Claudine
Stibbington & Wansford W.I. ARE WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS
The local group of the Women’s Institute meets on the second Tuesday of each month at Wansford Community Hall at 7.15pm. It is a relatively small group - everyone is friendly – it is not ‘cliquey’ – our meetings are informal and sociable – and all ages are included. Although from time to time we do make cakes – it is a lot more! We have an interesting and varied programme of speakers coming up in 2014 – we shall be hosting our area group meeting in May and we have plans for outside visits by car and coach.
Within our group we have a ‘book club’ which meets bi-monthly and on the alternate month our ‘supper club’ tries out local cuisine and eating venues. Transport can be arranged on request.
Why not come along and try us out – guests are welcome at any of our meetings for a minimal fee. If you like what you see and hear and want to become part of this active and friendly group you can then decide to join - there is an annual subscription charge but for all the activities we offer – it is good value for money.
