Sometimes we have to make changes at short notice so the only way to be really sure of what’s going on is to come to church!

-- 3 -- Jeremy writes... As I write the campaigning for the EU referendum is really getting going. I must admit, this is one of the most confusing campaigns I have ever witnessed. Both sides make audacious claims about their own position. Both sides decry the other for scare- mongering. Both sides are reluctant to admit they just don’t know what exactly is five years down the road for the UK if we vote with them. I suspect you could actually take the publicity material for either campaign, simply substitute in the name of the other side, and be left with a document which made about as much sense. Of course, if your mind is already made up then there is probably little the campaigners could say to make you change it. However, this election may hang on the last minute decision of the undecideds. This whole electoral process may not be very revealing about Britain’s best stance vis-a-vis Europe, but it certainly is revealing about the state of politics in this country. Decisions are made, not by politicians bending to the will of the many, but to the wishes of the powerful undecided few. To them the campaigners will resort to all sorts of twistings and distortions of the truth in order to gain their vote. It is not a pretty sight, and it is certainly not an edifying one. I suspect that no-one can say with any great degree of certainty what either decision will mean for Britain in the long run, whatever they may be hoping for, and whatever they may be claiming (the two need not be related). I suspect that this referendum actually has far less to do with hard fact (which despite its alleged certainty can be damnably difficult to find) than it does with simple faith (which although normally so frustratingly elusive, speaks strongly from our guts, if not our minds). We commonly view ourselves as having two seats of knowledge: feelings come from the heart and facts from the mind (yes, I know they’re all electro-chemical exchanges in the brain, but let’s allow a bit of poetry for pity’s sake). That’s why we draw hearts as a symbol

-- 4 -- of love and lightbulbs over heads to represent thought. We do, however, have scrappy remnants of a third seat of knowledge: an idea going back to ancient times. We speak of gut feelings: that sense from deep within us that something is simply right or wrong; and this may be in conflict with what the facts in our head tell us or what our hearts want to believe. I suspect that many will decide how to vote on the 23rd June on a gut feeling. I think they might be right. Certainly, that is how faith works. Go on, try it. You never know… Jeremy

-- 6 -- Secretary: Pat Edmunds 01297 23659 Many thanks to all who helped with the Spring Coffee Morning on 16th April. It was held in Church for the first time and we were pleased it went well. £278 was raised for Church funds. A reminder for flower arrangers that Pentecost is on 15th May and window arrangements should be red and white. A flower festival is being planned for 9th – 11th July with a royal theme to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday. It should make for some interesting displays! Date of next meeting: Tuesday 10th May 10am

St. Michael’s Bookshop VARIED SELECTION of secondhand books at our bookstall in St Michael’s Please bring us any books which you wish to donate.

GOOD paper backs and good small hard back books only please! - No Readers Digest volumes, no large hard backs, and no magazines as we do not have room to store them.

Newsletter, April 2016 At our meeting we focused on voting for the NFWI Resolutions which will be decided at the AGM in Brighton, in May. We also made preparations for our own AGM, also in May, including the annual Treasurer, Secretary and President Report as well as elections for the President and committee. We were delighted to welcome Sioux White, who has written a book on two of Beer’s entrepreneurial Lace Makers, Jane and Ida and she made their histories come to life. Several of our members are accomplished lace makers and Jan Smith brought a selection of her lace collection, including samples of her own lace which was greatly admired. Jenny Eagles won the Limerick competition and Anne Gladstone, the decoration, which when amalgamated, will be entered into the Spring Group Meeting at Musbury and Whitford, to celebrate The Queen’s 90th Birthday. We will be enjoying lunch this month at The Dolphin and a coffee outing to Sidmouth. EDDC have kindly agreed to take over the upkeep of the WI plots in the Jubilee Gardens, so they should be looking presentable again soon for ourselves and visitors alike. Look out for forthcoming details of a fund-raiser event, “Drive Safer for Longer,” which should be of interest to many of us in the village! Our AGM is for members only but guests will be welcome to join us again in June. See our notice board for details.

Seaton Garden Club Outings 12th May - Bowood House, Wiltshire 14th July - Coleton Fishacre, near Paignton 8th September - Heligan Gardens, Cornwall. For more details, contact Laurie Phillips 01297 21869 -- 8 -- I’m writing this in advance of our next rock pooling session when we hope to find more residents for the tanks. Keep an eye on our website, or look for the posters, for details. As a guide, we usually arrange safaris to take advantage of low spring tides. The designer who is planning the new displays hopes to start work soon. We won’t be competing with Seaton Jurassic, but hope to complement the story being told there. This is our way of celebrating 10 years since our new building was opened. We are planning a “Clean for the Queen” on Saturday 11th June. Look out for details, and come and join us for a special Beach Clean. We usually work for an hour and then have a well deserved cuppa. Come and join us. Look out too for another initiative for keeping the beach clean – more details in due course. Beer Village Heritage was set up to celebrate the past, present and future heritage of the village. Most of you will know that the fishermen have been working with a charity called Blue Marine to deliver sustainable, high quality and traceable fish for the market. Over the last couple of years they have taken cool boxes to sea so that their catch can be landed in the optimum state for sale. More recently they have set up Reserve Seafood which takes their catch direct to London where they have a guaranteed market. The project has been nominated for an international award – Natura 2000. You might like to vote for the project. You will find more information on this website www.bluemarinefoundation.com . The link for voting for Lyme Bay Fisheries and Conservation Reserve is:- http://natura2000award-application.eu/finalist/1102 Our partnership with the Jurassic Coast Trust continues to keep us busy. We ran an activity day for youngsters on holiday at Ladram Bay during the Easter holidays, and we have done a number of walks and talks. We have just taken delivery of an “Activity Day” kit which includes several other activities, such as plaster ammonites to paint, as well as the fossil box which we’ve looked after for some years. The kit is available for other groups in the area to borrow. We’re looking forward to helping at the Fossil Festival in Lyme Regis over the May Day weekend. There is an exhibition – Talking Waves – by Sam Rose and Nicola Taylor in the Bomb Shelter over the May Day weekend. This is a new collaboration between an artist and photographer. If you’d like to be invited to special events, then do join up as a member by paying the annual subscription (£2.50) to one of our regular helpers such as Henry, Chris, Nick, Mike, Carol, Trevor, Jean or Norah. www.beervillageheritage.org.uk -- 9 -- P ar t y ! Come and celebrate with the Villagers of Beer the Queen's Official Birthday

Music & Entertainment

-- 10 -- MARINERS’ HALL, BEER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE Registered charity no. 300760 A fantastic turnout of over 200 enjoyed the song sheet of the Beatles, as tribute band the Fab Beatles made their second appearance to the Mariners’ Hall. The energy and enthusiasm from the band encouraged a lot of lip-synching and turning back the clock and taking to the dance floor. To compliment the Beer village website, a website dedicated to the Mariners’ Hall is under construction. The aim is to provide online details of forthcoming events, together with links for booking enquiries and promote the variety of uses of the hall from group coffee mornings to large weddings. If you have any photographs old or new of times spent in the hall we would love to see them. Digital photos can be emailed to [email protected] originals to Norah Jaggers or any other member of the committee. (Of course photographs will be returned after copying). At the last committee meeting two draws of our 50 Club were made producing two sets of £40 and £20 winners. Taking part provides valuable funds to the Hall whilst at the same time gives participants a 2 in 50 chance of a winning. We are still looking for someone to help with hall bookings. Do you have a few hours a week to help with this important role? Don’t forget Puffins are holding a Charitable Race Night on May 13th. DO YOU LIKE CHILDREN? Could you spare 1 hour twice a term? J a M (Jesus and Me) is a lunchtime club every Monday lunchtime for Key Stage 2 children (8-10 year olds) at Beer Primary School. The children play a game, have a Bible based story and do some crafts which often leads to some very interesting discussions! Kathryn Radley (our Families Worker) plans, organises and leads the session but regulations state she must have another adult present. If you are available from 12:30 - 1:30pm on a Monday during term time to join our committed team of volunteers, or if you would just like some more information please contact Kathryn on 07599292449 or email [email protected] And please don’t feel you have to be a ‘regular’ church goer - you don’t - just someone who enjoys spending an hour once or twice a term with some delightful & well behaved children.

-- 11 -- Beer Parish Council News - April 2016 This month was our Annual Parish Meeting - it is a legal requirement to hold this meeting to provide an opportunity for all electors to ask questions and hear about what the Council is doing. Please note that the Council encourages parishioners to come to any monthly meeting as we always start with 15 minutes public participation, during which any matters can be raised which are within the remit of the Parish Council The Council has had several complaints about the flooding at the top of Hollyhead Road and mud on the road causing hazardous driving conditions. As a result a meeting was arranged with the local farmer and the Estates Manager from Clinton Devon Estates. The local farmer was able to clarify arrangements for the rotation of fields and advised that the existing field entrance will actually be closed. The farmer also wanted to advertise that Gatcombe Farm will be taking part in the "Open Farm Sunday" event which is on the 5th of June 2016 – everyone is welcome to visit and see how the farm works. Please note that DDC Highways have also scheduled emergency drainage works to help prevent the flooding problem in the future. A road closure will be in place for as long as necessary. The Police come along to most of our monthly meetings and on this occasion they reported that the crime in and around Beer is very low, with no crimes reported last month. The Police will hopefully be holding their regular ‘Have Your Say’ surgeries in conjunction with the monthly Parish Council surgeries held in the Mariners’ Hall. The next surgery will be on 14 May at the Beer Village Heritage coffee morning at the Mariners’ Hall. The "dog mess" topic is nearly always brought up at our surgeries. The Parish Council can provide stickers for household bins which encourage dog walkers to bag and bin dog mess. Using household bins which are accessible from the street effectively helps to increase the number of dog bins available. The year ahead is a very exciting one for Beer as the Parish Council is working with EDDC to try and transfer village assets into the ownership of the Parish Council. This will give us much more control over the village assets and how we manage them. Your council is looking to co-opt new members, so if you are interested and have skills and enthusiasm to offer please get in touch. Formal co-option of new members will take place at the Annual Meeting on 3 May. If you would like further information about becoming a Parish Councillor, contact the Parish Clerk [email protected] or visit the latest news page of the website for information and an application form www.beerparishcouncil.org.uk -- 12 -- AXE VALLEY AND WEST DORSET RING AND RIDE from your own front door his service has been in operation since September 2001 and is Ta registered charity running community transport for the East Devon and West Dorset areas. It is provided for people with a special need for transport facilities because they are elderly, disabled, parents with young children or people living in isolated areas. The door-to-door service offers passengers security and comfort, taking a lot of the strain out of shopping. The fares are very reasonable with morning shopping trips to places like Axminster, Bridport, Honiton, Sidmouth and Chard costing just £5.00 return. Word of mouth proves over and over again to be the best source of advertising and many of the Ring and Ride passengers have told both neighbours and friends who have subsequently joined. There is also a Passenger Club for each zone that offers a weekly afternoon trip and a day trip on one Saturday each month and is very popular with members. The subscription fee is just £10 and gives the opportunity to visit destinations such as Otter Nurseries, Sherborne, Portland, the Somerset Levels and Abbotsbury Swannery with day trips to Lynton and Lynmouth, Glastonbury, Wells, Swanage and many others. The service covers an area from Beer to Bridport and Beaminster to Membury encompassing many tiny rural areas in between and offers a lifeline to many who may find other forms of transport inappropriate or simply lacking. For further information and details about any of the trips available please contact our office on 01404 46520 and we shall be happy to assist you. more details overleaf… -- 13 -- Do you have difficulty using or accessing local bus services?
