We would like to encourage them to firstly get into the good habit of making use of poo bags, and then secondly putting the bags in the bins provided and not leaving them by the road- side. Many have mentioned about the number of cars and lorries we now see down Station Road, their sizes and the unsocial hours of the movement. If you are disturbed by any of this please pass on your concern to Central Beds. Well done and Thank you: Esme (9) and Isabella Creese, (6) made cakes which they offered to the villagers of Tempsford by taking them door to door and asking if residents wished to give a donation in return for their cakes in aid of Children in Need. Due to the kind generosity of villagers, the girls raised a fantastic £67.53. Esme and Isabella would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who made a donation and they hope you all enjoyed their cakes with a nice cuppa!! www.tempsford.org 2 COUNTRY STOVES & SWEEPS HETAS Registered Stove Installation Gas Fire Fitting Chimney Sweeping Bird Guards Fitted Chimney Lining Chimney Safety Certificates Issued Free Survey & Quote 01767 627591 / 07950705479 Julian Biggs, Northill, Bedfordshire Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, Eggs, Bread, Honey & Homemade Preserves, Quiches, Cakes, Sauces, Oils, Cheese, Crayfish fishcakes, Dog Treats, locally crafted items and much more. -
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. -
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. -
