Church Services for October The Littleton Link November 2015 Editor’s Letter Hello, Welcome to the Littleton Link. The month of November is upon us. Many of us will enjoy the delights of bonfires and fireworks to celebrate Bonfire Night. November is a time for remembrance. Details of Remembrance Sunday services are included inside. For those readers who are particularly organised and getting ready for Christmas the “Almost Christmas Market” will take place on 28 November at the Village Hall. An opportunity to enjoy a cup of tea and enjoy some early Christmas cheer! Thanks for your continuing support. Regards, Sarah Stephens Littleton’s Wednesday Club October 30th. We had a return visit from Lt. Col. Lesinski. He reminded us of the way to recognise the different regiments of guards e.g. the arrangement of their buttons and the emblem on their collar and of course they wear bearskins NOT busbees. It was surprising to know how old some of the bearskins are. They are first of all, operational and secondly ceremonial. Lt. Col. Mentioned one guard in particular named Ben who at the time of this visit, was still in Birmingham Hospital having lost both legs, 1 arm and 1 eye during his operational duty in, I believe, Afghanistan. When they are on ceremonial duty, the Lifeguards wear red and the Blues & Royals wear blue and ride BLACK horses. There are 2 state visits every year, one in May and one in autumn. The Mall is lined with guards on their ceremonial duty, flags are flown and the procession drives to Horse Guards Parade. Included in these special occasions are, the State Opening of Parliament, State visits, Trooping the Colour (2nd Saturday in June) when 5 regiments of Foot Guards are on duty. There is a lunch for Knights of the Garter which I believe is held at Windsor Castle. Lt. Col went on to say that the musicians not only cope with playing their instruments while mounted but have full control over their horses, emphasising the ability of the drummers. So much preparation and rehearsal goes into these special occasions and we here in England are very lucky that such “pomp and splendour” continues. They are a great tourist attraction too. October 14th. There were 34 members attending today. We have 2 members in hospital and several are unwell at home and we send them all our Get Well wishes. Our Harvest Festival was led by 2 of our recent additions to our membership, Joyce & Alan Bache. We shared the service with traditional harvest hymns, a reading and prayers. Members were in good voice and we closed by singing Great is Thy Faithfulness. Joyce and Alan were thanked for taking the service to celebrate harvest. There was a good variety of fresh, tinned and baked goods to be auctioned by our auctioneer in residence Marion. Several times we found members bidding against each other which added some amusement to the afternoon. All our goods were sold and £73.00 was raised. We had our usual cuppa or coffee & biscuits followed by the raffle. Future Programme: October 28th. Your choice of film music (already requested) in the village hall at 2-30pm November 11th.

Littleton success at the Wychavon Parish Games Middle and North Littleton tasted success at this year’s Wychavon Parish Games table tennis championships, which took place on Sunday 18th October at St Egwin’s School, Evesham. In the junior event, brothers Craig and Alistair Witheford, who play for Littleton Table Tennis Club, were worthy champions. Both Craig and Alistair won all their matches against teams from Bretforton, Eckington, Inkberrow and Wyre Piddle, In the senior event Craig partnered John Taylor, another Littleton player. The pairing beat Eckington, Harvington then, in the semi-final, a combined Church Lench/Inkberrow side. The final saw the pair face a strong team from Little Hampton. The match ebbed to and fro but eventually Little Hampton triumphed 3 – 2. Craig and John just fell short in the doubles losing in five close sets having succumbed to Little Hampton’s best player in four and five sets respectively. This was a creditable performance by both junior and senior Littleton players who now have their eyes set on the 2016 championships. Littleton Table Tennis Club is open to all payers no matter what their standard. It meets in the village hall on Thursday evenings. If interested contact Ken Baker on 01386 832398, or 07810 456890.

Jean Date for your diary LITTLETON FOOTBALL CLUB PRIZE BINGO LITTLETON VILLAGE HALL SATURDAY DECEMBER 12, 2015 EYES DOWN 8pm THE LITTLETONS AND CLEEVE PRIOR BRANCH : The Annual Rememberance Sunday SERVICE WILL BE HELD AT ST NICHOLAS CHURCH MIDDLE LITTLETON ON SUNDAY 8th NOVEMBER AT 10.50AM THE SERVICE WILL BE LED BY The Rev’d Dr Roy Lodge MBE ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND The Branch Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 19th November in the Back Room of the Village Hall at 2.00pm South Littleton Parish Council October Meeting Lots to share with you again from the meeting held on Thursday 15th October. The Council welcomed 4 members of the public. As always, the full meeting minutes can be found online (one approved at the November 26th meeting) so the below is a summary of the key points: - Public Telephone Box You may recall from previous updates that we were given the opportunity to purchase the telephone box from BT for £1 as it is no longer in active use. Our initial thoughts were that we would like to pursue the opportunity but following investigation by Councillor Jones, it became apparent that the repair costs would be in the region of £4,500. As a result, the Council voted unanimously to decline BT’s offer and we will instead ask them to remove the box to avoid it falling into further disrepair. - Christmas Event There is no rest for Social Events committee led by Councillor Sheriff. Hot off the Fun Day and Scarecrow Competition, we are pleased to confirm details for our annual Christmas event.
