Pizza ‘n Quiz Night Thanks to everyone who came and supported our Pizza ‘n Quiz Night at the beginning of March. The evening was a sell out success, with long queues forming as Big Bang Pizza man Marcus produced delicious pizzas to order from his wood-fired oven in the back of a horse trailer (kindly accommodated in the drive of Becketts).
Henrietta Cockrell’s latest quiz questions ensured plenty of head-scratching and between-the-teams banter. All in all, a fun village night rounded off with a bit of drama when the Tisbury fire engine with blue lights flashing came to a halt outside The Reading Room, unable to pass because of parked cars.

Chilmark Cricket Club
In an exclusive scoop The Village Voice can report that Chilmark Cricket Club has been keeping a secret dossier on its own players. In these highly controversial documents the club hierarchy’s thoughts on a number of the village team’s key players are made clear, in many cases going beyond simply stating their cricketing strengths and weaknesses, while in others using incendiary language to highlight their shortcomings.
For example, on Darren Lee the dossier states: His pace has slowed so much that he looks less threatening than an old man with a stick. Don’t bowl into a headwind.
On , who woke up in a barn a few hours Archie Small CCC describes itself as a small and friendly local club before a game last season, the document reads: His mum that plays on Sunday afternoons with occasional midweek bakes a wicked Victoria sponge cake and his dad has a T20 games against nearby villages and touring clubs. ‘We wine cellar. Be nice. would like you to play at Chilmark whether it is just for a couple of games during the season, or as a regular player,’ Another section simply says: Does anybody know where says Club Chairman Carl Jacobs. Chaz Sheppard is? The Club is an integral part of Chilmark Village life, and a It is also apparent that some players are being deliberately warm welcome is promised AND it prides itself on being held back from reaching their potential. The notes on Frog family friendly. Low Cost membership and great facilities Lane’s seventh best cricketer , for example, Ben Fowles are all part of the deal. So if you’re on the lookout for a spot include this revealing sentence: Must never be allowed to of good exercise this summer, along with some sociable score a century. Though encouragingly it goes on to say and competitive fun, do contact Carl as below: that it would be fun to see him run a three. Whilst in a 07890 894570 or [email protected] similar vein, Max Allen’s voluminous hair is thought to be making some of the senior players feel inadequate. CCC Teas - Help please Notes on other players include… Claire Allen is co-ordinating Cricket Teas in the coming : Seems to be single handedly keeping Ricky Corbin season for which club members are very grateful!

Offers of cakes, sandwiches and servers Club priorities are also laid bare: might Jack Stearman will all be gratefully received. play for England one day, the document reads, but if he puts one more ball into Mr Pelham’s chicken coop he’ll be Please contact Claire: on cordial duty for a month. 01722 716013 or [email protected] As well as players, there are also observations on opposition clubs. Fonthill are thought to be a harmless enough team with an impressive sized beer fridge. Whilst on Dinton, it states that they haven’t made decent sandwiches for years.
Contacted for a comment on the document, CCC chairman Carl Jacobs denied all knowledge, saying: I was playing golf that day. Whilst club secretary Pete Corbin said: The bit about stopping Fowles hitting a century hasn’t been necessary for years.
The season gets underway on Sunday 14 April at Horningsham, before a first home game against The Authors on Friday 3 May. Brand King
In case the above hasn’t put you off: Chilmark CC is on the lookout for new players for the coming season. Great teas, friendly opposition and a beautiful cricket ground at Cleeves Farm are awaiting mixed ability players of any age from 14 to 70+. 6 The Village Voice
Chilmark and Fonthill Bishop School
Sycamore Class had a wonderful trip to Nothe Fort in Weymouth as part of their WW2 studies. They visited the authentic shop with a ration book and took part in a 1940s style lesson. They learnt about life during the War and what it would have been like to be an evacuee.
The whole school celebrated World Book day at the start of March. Pupils dressed up in some marvellous costumes and brought in copies of their favourite books.
It is going to be a very busy run up to Easter with lots of exciting events planned. www.chilmarkfonthillbishop.wilts.sch.uk

Team Rubicon’s predominantly ex military volunteers have years of experience in hostile character-testing situations. In Mozambique, their focus will be on delivering where the need is most acute, with expertise in water purification, and using their disaster-mapping expertise to assist partners.
Team Rubicon UK CEO Richard Sharp said: The African continent is no stranger to struggle but the situation in Mozambique and Zimbabwe is dire and potentially the worst weather event to ever hit the region.

A God who asks us to do nothing but simply put our trust in Christ.
Peter went on to do great things for Jesus and showed great courage. Jesus’ love enabled him to put the past behind him. How about us? Are there things we need to bring to Jesus? Do we need to respond to his question ‘do you love me?’ As we journey on together, with the risen Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit, let us help one another to see the truth of God’s unconditional love.
