Rector’s Ramblings What a beautiful part of the world we live in, rolling hills, winding rivers, lovely woodland and picturesque villages. All is well, but is it? As we read our newspapers, sit down and listen to the news we realise that we are just kidding ourselves, whilst all around is beautiful, society is falling apart. We live in a world full of lies, deceit, double standards and injustices. Many have turned their back on their Christian faith, blaming God for all the woes of the world. They point to the turbulence in America, the devastation in parts of the Middle East, the pure Evil coming out of North Korea, and rather than look into themselves they blame others for all the injustices and failures they see around them. But the God I know and love is a God of Justice, mercy and love. You see we cannot be in a right relationship with the God of justice whilst being indifferent to all the injustices of our world. We cannot have it all ways, we cannot say that we love the God of justice and at the same time turn a blind eye to all the injustices that are an offence to His character and teaching. To be fed by God’s justice is to listen to the God that says ‘I will seek the lost, I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, but the fat and the strong I will destroy.’ The justice that God offers us is a commitment to righting wrongs and bringing the human family back into a right relationship with himself and a right relationship with each other. Society today has become a society of ME, I, WE want. A society that has lost its way, a society that puts self before the lonely, the poor, the refugee and the lost. So who are those at fault for the world’s troubles, God or US? To plagiarise a verse from the letter of John, who was not averse to telling things as they were. ‘Those who say, “I love God” and hate their brothers or sisters are liars’ (1 John 4.20). Maybe instead of blaming others, being jealous of others, we should start loving each other, not on the surface, but with a deep love, the kind of love our God of justice loves us with. An unconditional love, a redeeming love, a perfect love for ever. Sue Le Riche 3 Lent 2017 1st March Ash Wednesday service of Holy Communion 12 noon at Shillingstone Church Lent is not only the time to give up chocolate/alcohol/pancakes but is also traditionally the time of year to undertake a course of study. While the former may leave you slimmer or possibly grumpier, the latter will have much longer lasting effect as it grows your mind. This year I thought we would look at some big ethical questions and how Christianity relates to them. The General Synod of the Church of England has recently been debating Issues in Human Sexuality so it seems an appropriate time to bring them to the local level too. This is a 5-week course is happening in two venues: 1. Highlands, High Street, Child Okeford on Wednesdays 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th March and 5th April. 7.30pm – 8.30pm 2. Shillingstone Church Centre on Thursdays 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th March and 6th April. 2.30pm – 3.30pm All Welcome! 1st Friday Lunch Friday March 3rd 12.30pm – 3pm at the Village Hall. All Welcome! £5 for 2 course meal and tea/coffee. This month: Lasagne, garlic bread and peas followed by trifle.

I am working on a small project about the time the Two Ronnies came to Okeford Fitzpaine in the 1970’s. Were you there? Did you meet them? Can you remember where filming took place and what was filmed? If you have any information at all please contact me on 01258 861979 or rrowe@okefordfitzpaine- pc.gov.uk Rachael Rowe CHILD OKEFORD FLOWER ARRANGING CLUB ‘Reflections’ Date: 21 March 2.15pm Child Okeford Village Hall For more information contact Sue on 01258 863775 or [email protected] Sewing & Craft Group Our March meeting will be on 20th March, 2.30pm at No 6, Netherway Cottages. All very welcome ROYAL AIR FORCES ASSOCIATION STURMINSTER NEWTON & GILLINGHAM BRANCH To join contact Tony Edmunds 01258 473823 5 An Apology and Clarification In the February edition we published an article relating to a damaged car outside the church. There was no intention to suggest a connection either with attendees at St Andrew's Church or the Village Hall auction, which events were taking place at the time of the incident and were mentioned only to jog the memory of witnesses. Blackmore Vale Lions Father Christmas Float 2016. On a dry but cold night the BMV Lions and members of Okeford Fitzpaine Short Mat Bowls Club went round the village with Father Christmas. The children really enjoyed talking to him and getting some sweets. We collected over £200 that night for the BMV charities. They have very kindly donated £200 to our village school to help them build their “Spiritual Garden.” Thank your to all who donated that night and we will look forward to seeing you all again this December. Barbara Fry It has been a very busy beginning to the term at Okeford Fitzpaine Primary School with the children enjoying their new class topics. Maple Class are working on a ‘Frozen World’ theme, Beech class have been learning about Europe and Oak class are studying ‘Being Human’ The term started with a whole school focus on British Values, with learning focused around The Royal Family, debate, democracy and British Law. This work is being followed up with Oak class visiting the Houses of Parliament. We have also been involved in work around road safety for children and for parents which will be followed up by a survey. The year 2 and year 5 children have visited ‘Streetwise’ earlier this term to secure their learning about keeping themselves safe both at home and in the environment. We are in continuous support of keeping our children safe and their education around safety. We were sad to see Mrs Cook-Paine leave the school after 15 years of service. The children, staff, parents and governors gave her a nice send off with gifts to remember the school by. We wish her all the best and every success for the future. We have welcomed new teaching staff Miss Foxall in Beech class and Mrs De Silva in Maple class this term. R Tidby 6 Simply FABULOUS cycle rides say it all! As we wouldn’t have enjoyed riding with Doris at 45mph, on Thu 23rd Feb, I postponed our Buds ride to Ibberton until Thu 2 Mar start time 0930 from Okeford Stores. PLEASE tell anyone you see. Valentines Challenge Ride Report Twelve cyclists, spanning an age gap of 70yrs but undeterred by the damp of low cloud, took to our lanes for the Valentines Day Challenge — a 15mile circular ride to Milton Abbey Tea Rooms. Organised by Dorset Cy- clists Network area coordinator, this was a 'Blossom' category Simply FABULOUS ride. Our youngest rider (11) showed how Dorset hills are no barrier to get- ting about once you are fit and have learnt the necessary skills. Forthcoming Rides Contact me in advance if you plan to join us as rides may change.

First from education, next from running a Diocesan Retreat House, and then 3 years ago, from ministry. Not a rec- ord, perhaps, but retirement suggests slippers and leisurely cups of tea in the garden. Why doesn’t it work like that in reality? I still seem to be happily busy – taking services, occupied with voluntary work, singing in choirs, taking music lessons, and having a wonderful social life! But there is a cautionary note. A recent health scare caused me to con- sider – as one frequently does at a certain age – my own mortality. Death holds no perils, but I’m just not ready for it yet, so I thought I’d write my- self a letter and share it with you, as you may be in the same situation.

  • Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan 2017 to 2027 Regulation 16 Consultation
    Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan 2017 to 2027 Regulation 16 Consultation Dorset Council Response Dorset Council (DC) welcomes receipt of the submission version of the Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan. The Council is aware of the various consultation events held within the local community to identify issues and draw conclusions, and in this context seeks to provide constructive comments on the finalisation of the Plan. For ease of reference, comments are set out according to the policies of the submission version of the neighbourhood plan. Some comments may cover more than one topic and should be seen in this context. The comments made in this response should not be seen as exhaustive and the officers continue to encourage an on-going dialogue with the Neighbourhood Plan Group and the Qualifying Body. General Comments: The submission version of the Plan appropriately seeks to deal with issues of a local nature including the built and natural environment, the local economy and a proposed allocation to meet local housing needs. Detailed Comments: Page 1, Map The map misses the northern most tip of the parish boundary. Also, parts of the parish boundary are difficult to distinguish as they are drawn in blue (the same colour as the flood zone). Suggest amending the map to correct these issues. Page 13, Map Suggest showing the Gillingham Royal Forest area as this is referred to by Policy MOT5. Page 14, Policy MOT6 We suggest that the second paragraph should clarify that it only applies in cases where development requires planning permission (i.e. permitted development schemes can’t have additional requirements imposed).

    Blandford+ Neighbourhood Plan The councils of Bryanston, Blandford St Mary and Blandford Forum have been working together, since 2018, to produce the Blandford+ Neighbourhood Plan (B+NP) Version 2. Introduction 1. What is a Neighbourhood Plan and why is it important? Under the Localism Act 2011, communities, like ours, can produce a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) to have a real say (through policies) in the future of the places where we live and work, and the legal weight to decide planning matters, alongside the Dorset Council’s Local Plan. 2. What will our Neighbourhood Plan deliver? A new two-form entry primary school A community hall with health-related activities in the North of Blandford A community hall in Blandford St Mary Prevent change of use of the Bryanston Club Additional health and well-being provision Protection against future speculative development on important open green spaces Protection of the conservation areas and green spaces in the three parishes A total of 15 policies to protect and develop Blandford Forum, Blandford St Mary and Bryanston through a plan-led approach 3. What legal status will our Neighbourhood Plan have? The NP passed both statutory consultations (known as Regulation 14 and Regulation 16) and passed examination in February 2020. On 12th March this year, the Dorset Council issued a Decision Statement to say that the B+ NP could proceed to a Public Referendum on 6th May 2021. If there is a vote above 50% in favour, the NP will become statutory. Page 1 of 12 4. What happens on 6th May 2021? The Public Referendum will be held on Thursday 6th May 2021 between 7am and 10pm.

  • Newsletter 74, November 2011
    oooooo 2012 oooooooo TWO MEETINGS oooooo A Discussion Meeting has been arranged at Ely for Saturday 31 st March 2012. Glen Cavaliero has agreed to introduce the discussion, which will be on Owen Glendower Chapter 12 (‘Mathrafal’). Details from Sonia Lewis. A Powys Day at Dorchester is planned for Saturday 9th June. Frank Kibblewhite will deliver his postponed talk on Theodore and Llewelyn — Two Dorset Visionaries’ . More details in the March Newsletter, or contact ChrisThomas. Editorial The beauty of the Powys Society (as WJKeith says in his letter — p. XX) is its diversity, and this the Newsletter’s role should surely be to represent. Another happy conference is reported from different angles, by veterans and newcomers. The Llewelyn Walk was enjoyed as ever. A second instalment ofTheodore’s letters to his sisters comes from Mappowder in the 1940s. John Cowper appears as reviewer in 1928 of Proust, a writer whose indirect approaches and intense analysis might be thought to have echoes in JCP, if only to accentuate their differences. As David Gervais says, with JCP any influence is ‘likely to take the form of turning similar premises to quite different ends.’ We look back at the 1970s, with poems to JCP byTerry Diffey. Altogether elsewhere, Marcella H-P describes the Basque country as JCP might have seen it, an alternative Wales.

  • Assessment of Settlements Based on Population and Community Facilities
    Appendix 1 North Dorset District Council Local Development Framework Assessment of Settlements Based on Population and Community Facilities Supporting Document to the Core Strategy: Issues and Options Paper May 2007 1.0 Introduction Scope and Purpose of the Report 1.1 In light of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and Planning Policy Statement 12: Local Development Frameworks, North Dorset District Council is undertaking evidence gathering work to assist in the preparation of its Local Development Framework (LDF), which will have regard to, and will contribute to, the achievement of sustainable development. 1.2 The main objective of this report is to identify and audit the current services and facilities presently found in all settlements within the District and the resident population of those settlements. This report will be used as part of the evidence base in the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.3 This supporting document aims to generate options for the identification of sustainable settlements. These towns and villages will be the focus for future development and will be shown with a settlement boundary in the Council’s Core Strategy. 1.4 This report serves as only a part of the evidence base which will inform the production of the Council’s Core Strategy. Full stakeholder and community consultation will be undertaken, following the statutory requirements of the ‘new’ planning system, and the corporate objectives of the Council, in order that the final decisions made by the Council are fully informed by the views of the District’s communities. The Local Plan and Emerging Regional Spatial Strategy 1.5 A primary strategy of the Local Plan is to concentrate development, especially that defined as major, to the main settlements in the District.
