  • The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter April 2021
    The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter April 2021 FROM REVEREND TERESA STEWART-SYKES Over the past year we’ve all learned some new vocabulary, nearly all of which has been linked to the pandemic. This year’s new word is ‘roadmap’, and the concept of a roadmap came to my mind as I was marking out a labyrinth in the churchyard of St Leonard and St Catherine in Drayton St Leonard. The similarities between the two are striking. Like a roadmap a labyrinth, in contrast to a maze, has both a fixed entry point and a fixed route to its centre; there is only one path to follow. Also like a roadmap, a labyrinth has opportunities to pause and reflect, on what has happened in the past and on what the future might hold. The purpose of both is to journey to a new way of being. Whilst a roadmap is a new concept, labyrinths have fascinated many cultures throughout history, it is an art form that can be traced back 4000 years. The mosaic floors of Roman villas, for example, sometimes included the pattern of a labyrinth. In the mediaeval period, the church began to use labyrinths as a tool for meditative prayer and many churches have a labyrinth depicted in the flooring of the nave; Chartres Cathedral built in the 13th century is a most famous example. In the modern times, amidst the busyness and stress of our lives, using a labyrinth to walk slowly and to reflect has become a very popular form of mindfulness and prayer.

  • Saving the Village Pub
    2013 Saving the Village Pub ‘We aim to maintain The Bull as a friendly pub, bringing a new central focus to the community …...’ Shareholder, Great Milton Contents Introduction 3 What makes a good pub? 4 Why do pubs close? Take action before closure is necessary 5 Community Right to Bid 6 What to do when the pub is put up for 8 sale Premises and Leases 13 Finance 14 Business Planning 17 Legal Structure 18 The Cooperative Model 19 Staffing a community-run pub 20 Employment regulations 21 Legal requirements 22 Publicity and Launch 25 Useful contact information 26 Saving the Village Pub 2 ‘The Plough is an important part of the village. We don’t have a shop, so it is a good meeting place’ Shareholder, The Haseley Pub Company Introduction The role of the village ‘local’ as a vibrant social centre at the heart of the community is as important as ever, but the future of the pub in our rural communities is coming increasingly under threat. Changing economic and social factors are making it more and more difficult for the number of rural pubs to be maintained as sustainable businesses. Each pub closure represents a loss of a local service, a social hub and an employment opportunity; in some cases the closure of the pub signifies the end of locally based services within a community and can threaten the vibrancy of the village itself. Little surprise then, that many residents are up in arms when the future of their local is threatened, and want to do all they can to keep the pub going, even if it means dipping into their own pockets and buying the pub themselves.

Fantastic glass work, jewellery, cakes, handmade chocolates and much much more! More information to follow so watch this space. 2 October 2012 Dear Friends, The Olympics have had a tremendous impact on our nation. The quality that has stood out for me has been commitment. Commitment by volunteers, commitment by spectators and of course the commitment of those taking part. If there were to be just one legacy of the Games to the nation, I hope it will be an overall change in notions of commitment. Over the years there seems to be an element of conditionality creeping into our understanding of commitment. I will stay in this relationship whilst it delivers the happiness I want. I will keep up my fitness regime until I can get into a size 10. I will keep with this job until something better turns up. Or put the other way round, I am not going to maintain this friendship because it’s only ever me that makes any effort. I’m not going to football practice any more because I didn’t get chosen for the team. In my job, I most often meet ‘conditional’ commitment when people tell me why they don’t believe in God any more or why they don’t come to church any more.
