Diary Autumn 2019 The photos shows 1st Langford Scout Group with their Chief Scout Awards. Bronze recipients Archie, Jack, Josh and Thomas, Silver – Jonathan and Daniel and Gold – Ryan and Jay with 1st Langford section leaders Darren, Jo and Andy and DC Rob Pullinger. 1st Langford Scout Group Overview of the Year At our recent summer celebration,District Commissioner Rob Pullinger presented Chief Scout Awards to several of our members.We were especially proud of the Gold awards to scouts Jay and Ryan which are the first awarded in 1st Langford for many years. (see front cover for photos). During the year, the Beavers have had an enjoyable and hopefully challenging and educational time in a fun environment. In addition to the regular meetings, we also completed at least 2 hikes, visits to Baulk Wood and Biggleswade Fire Station and a visit from Bedfordshire Police. The Colony has been working very hard on badges and we have seen a total of 117 badges awarded, with 6 Chief Scout Bronze Awards, 38 Challenge Awards, 56 activity/staged badges, 9 Membership Awards and 10 1st Year Joining In Awards and 2 2ndYear Joining In Awards. At the end of this term we will have 5 Beavers swimming up to Cubs and a total of 9 for the year. After a packed programme of events throughout the year the Beavers took time to relax at Summer Camp 2018, and the best activity they did was either the powder paint fight or the paddle boarding! Beaver Leader Darren and Asst Leader Matt would like to thank all of the parents who regularly contribute and help towards the running of the Group as well as help at Beaver events. Six Chief Scout’s Silver Awards have been awarded to the Cubs this year.The Pack has earned over 50 Challenge Awards and around 150 Activity and Staged Activity badges. Our Cubs programme is always eclectic, aiming to have something for everyone while also working towards badges and having fun.Activities have ranged from science night, to first aid training, climbing, conker fights, athletics, nature spotting and hiking.We went to the Panto (oh yes we did!), had a water safety session in Saxon Pool, raced down an artificial ski slope on tubes and went to FairlandsValley park as well as parading for Remembrance Sunday and St Georges Day, and presenting our colours in St Andrews, Langford for Harvest Festival. The Cubs were offered two chances this year for residential experiences. In March we took Cubs and Scouts,to Paccar Scout Camp for a two night indoor camp. This was great fun – the weather was very mild and the cubs tried lots of different activities, including many involving heights.This was made possible by funds raised during the previous year, including a donation from the Raft Race. The Group Summer camp at Boyd Field at the end of June was also blessed with good weather. Over 40 young people from all three sections came to camp and took part in lots of fun activities including cooking their own lunch over the fire, outdoor cinema, pedal karting and Stand Up Paddleboarding.The weather also necessitated programming in a water fight (immediately after the powder paint war – which meant a lot of the participants ended up dyed orange or pink!).The two lots of water activities led to a record breaking quantity of lost property. Cub Leader Jo would like to thank Asst leaders Becca and Darren and Young Leaders Cassie, Jonathan and Katie for their help and support during the year. 2 Looking forward to 2019/20 we have our amazing trip to France in August that we will be fundraising towards all year. Beavers are aged 6-8 and meet Tuesdays 6-7pm Cubs are 8-10.5 and meet Wednesday 6.30-8pm Scouts are 10-14 and meet Monday 7.30-9pm. All sections meet in term time only at Scout Headquarters on Langford Playing Fields (next to theVillage Hall). Jo Smith - Group Scout Leader, 1st Langford Scout Group [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Rainbows, Brownies and Guides 1st Langford Rainbows In the summer term we completed our Explore Skill Builder Stage 1 Badge by making birds nests and making maps of our local area. We visited Rowney Warren Woods where we built shelters and played hide and seek.

Over the holidays we will be camping with the brownies and doing rifle shooting. 3 A Letter from the Editor Recently I walked to meetings of the Playing Field Committee and Village Hall Committee. It was a pleasant walk, I admired the gardens alongThe High Street with the glorious lavender and beautifully tended flower gardens.The river looked at its best, the swans seemed to be protecting their cygnets, and there was no sign of any debris from the most successful raft race and all was peaceful.Well done to those who cleared up so efficiently. The Playing Field was alive with adults and children enjoying the amenities, including cricket practice.After the meetings I walked through the new wildflower meadow which is the recent addition to our playing field. It seems to be developing well. The new restaurant looked quite busy.So, I felt all’s well with Langford! Taya, who was the main organiser of the Playing Field fete is already planning next year’s Fete and other events later this year, including a quiz in October. Gill and John are planning new play equipment for the village. Please take a look at the proposed new facilities for the children on page 22 and let Gill Clarke know your reviews. In this edition we have included the riverside walk from Langford through to Biggleswade, which, if you haven’t already done, you may find enjoyable. There are plenty of organisations in Langford, so why not take a look at our Weekly Meetings pages and see if there is something there you would enjoy. Some organisations meet monthly and their details are on What’s on in the Autumn page. In this edition our Focus on Langford Business there are details of the Hideaway café in The High Street.Why not make a visit! The Langford Diary is also published on the Parish Council website bedsparishes.gov.uk/langford-parish-council Trudy Emery [email protected] 01462 636638 Friday Morning Coffee Shop The Church Hall 10.30am to 12 noon This enterprise was started in 1990 by Biggleswade Adult Training Centre (ATC) when they used to serve lunches, but in 2010 things changed and it was agreed to run a weekly coffee shop as a joint venture with the ATC and village volunteers. There are now four groups taking part:ATC, Flower Guild, and two mixed groups made up of church and village volunteers.The money made from the other two groups goes into a general fund for replenishing the provisions and supplements the Flower Guild when needed so we can have displays, so admired, in the church.We have also funded replacement vestments and altar cloths, a flower stand, a gate banner, a Chasuble scarf, a blind for the church hall kitchen, two communion decanters, carpet for the Lady Chapel, toaster, two ring plate for heating mulled wine and other items too many to mention! The organisers of the Coffee Shop offer a warm welcome to all. The cakes are wonderful! If you require transport remember Langford Friends is there to help. Please ring the Langford Friends on 07884046741 a few days before. Audrey Searle. 4 A Riverside Walk of about 3 miles from Langford to Biggleswade via Jordan’s Mill ……. Cut out and Keep. From the Chapel Hill bridge head north alongside the River Ivel, keeping the river on your right. Pass through a kissing gate and continue to follow the river.The common will be on your left.Various species of wildlife will be seen according to time of day and season.You might see sparrow hawks, kestrels, buzzards, red kites and if you’re really lucky a barn owl or a kingfisher.White ibis and herons are regular visitors to the common and river margins.As you pass the rear of the playing field and village hall you may see a pair of swans with their nest on the riverbank. In the tall trees, black poplars, you might hear a sparrow hawk or the common grey squirrel. Passing the weir, the footpath arrives at a kissing gate next to the Mill. Cross the wooden planked bridge and continue in front of the mill and follow the riverside, on your left. This is the mill pond at the end of Mill Lane.

The village is tiny, only amounting to a hundred people for a few years in the 19th century, but its origins are old. A Roman pavement was found at the old rectory and the suffix ‘worth’ means an enclosed settlement, in this case Edda’s, a name dating from well before the Norman Conquest. To the east of the church there are traces of a moated site, suggesting that the church may not always have been as far as it now is from its village.

This can probably be explained by the returning after the Black Death of 1348–49; crossing the farmyard to where the church fact that the church belonged to St Neot’s Priory and the porches and battlemented clerestory are stands on a meticulously tended slope beyond.

  • Langford GI Plan, Will Be Used by the Authority in Considering Development Proposals and Assisting with the Creation of Green Infrastructure Assets
    Langford Green Infrastructure Plan April 2011 Langford Parish Council LANGFORD’S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Introduction: Langford’s Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan is part of a programme of 19 parish and town GI plans across the area funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the Greensand Trust and the Marston Vale Trust. BRCC was asked by Central Bedfordshire Council to assist in the production of the GI plans as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area. At the heart of BRCC’s work is the belief that the best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. BRCC has over 50 years experience of community development support and facilitating community consultation; and has nearly 20 years experience of planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in east Bedfordshire. What the plan shows The community green infrastructure plan shows information about the existing environment, and identifies aspiration and proposals from community members to enhance the local green infrastructure. These aspirations and proposals include priorities to maintain existing assets, enhance or restore existing assets, and create new green infrastructure. The information is shown on a map, which identifies both existing green infrastructure, and aspirations for improving the green infrastructure network. The plan as a whole is based on a robust approach to making and implementing a high quality green infrastructure network for the existing and future residents of Langford. It should be acknowledged that not all of the aspirations identified will be delivered, because there are many other influencing factors, such as the views of landowners, existing planning permissions and allocations, potential future land use allocations and the cost of enhancements.

  • Combined-Parishes-Profile-Final-2
    Introduction to Profile From the Vicar of St Andrew’s Biggleswade and Rural Dean of Biggleswade. Thank you for your interest in the position of Associate Priest. This is a newly created position where it is envisaged that the Vicar of Biggleswade will also accept responsibility as priest-in-charge of the rural parishes of Dunton, Wrestlingworth and Eyeworth working collaboratively with the appointed priest. We are seeking a prayerful and reflective colleague and team member who welcomes exciting opportunities and challenges. The parishes are distinct in character, but they are all excited at the prospect of working supportively with a new Associate Priest. The person appointed will need to develop and communicate a vision as to how the parishes can best work together to share God’s love. It is envisaged that the Associate Priest will spend 0.5 of their time in three adjacent rural communities; and the remainder of their ministry just south west in the rapidly growing parish of Biggleswade, a traditional market town expanding at an exponential rate as new residential developments are established. It is anticipated that modern 4-bedroomed accommodation will be available in the village of Dunton. A willingness to work with all ages, and participation in a range of worship styles is essential, as is enthusiasm to explore new ways of ‘being church’ within our neighbourhoods. We hope the successful candidate will be happy to provide a visible presence in each of the parishes and encourage an openness to embrace change. A sense of humour would be helpful, as would a willingness to be vulnerable and a preparedness to take risks.
