2 November

November comes And November goes, With the last red berries And the first white snows.

With night coming early And dawn coming late, And ice in the bucket And frost by the gate.

The fires burn. And the kettles sing, And the earth sinks to rest Until next spring.

Elizabeth Coatsworth

3 BROUGH PARISH COUNCIL. At our October meeting held on Thursday 17th. there was no public participation so we moved straight to the agenda. Matters arising from last months minutes. a).Cllr. McKenzie reported on progress finally able to be made on applying for grants towards the purchase of our own Cinema equipment. The required three quotes have now been received and applications for money will now begin. Our last film had an audience of 64 with 8 volunteers, which was excellent. b).Cllr. Brocklehurst enquired about storing the " yellow bikes" following the successful "Tour of Britain Cycle Race". An offer of storage space is being investigated. CCC and EDC Councillors. Cllr. Simpkins reported on EDC's consultation on a Supplementary Planning Document(SPD). The Housing SPD adds detail to policies in the Eden Local Plan. Cllr. Simpkins explained that Upper Eden has an aging population and an increasing shortage of smaller properties that are required for them. However we have a considerable supply of larger 4 bedroom properties. All information on this and other EDC matters can be viewed on their website. Cllr. Dew has been tackling Cumbria Highways on our behalf concerning repairs to the wall along Bayside. He wishes to be kept informed on this matter. He is still pushing for a winter resilience programme including warning signage and grit. Parish Plan. Cllrs. agreed to meet at Swanson House at the invitation of Cllr. Jones on 4th Nov. to discuss our plan for 2019/2020. Recycling Centre. Our Clerk has prepared a planning application for the proposed new site which will be delivered immediately. Grand Prix Services have kindly extended their deadline for the recycling to be moved, for which we are very grateful. Once we get approval, transfer to the new site will not take long. Devolution of Assets. Still no progress on anything. Trees on the Green and elsewhere. Cllr. Ellwood reported on potential costs of pruning or removing trees in the Parish. Very costly! We agreed to tackle the two cherries on CB green as priority and keep all others under review. Jubilee Orchard. Various ideas were expressed. All agreed that something must be done. Cllr. McKenzie will ask if help and support could come from experts at Acorn Bank and will report back. Christmas Lights. All agreed that Cllr. Ellwood will purchase some new sets of lights. Cllr.

7 Next Air Ambulance Drop-in Collection 3rd November 2019 As announced in last month’s issue, the next Drop-in Collection for our Cumbrian Great North Air Ambulance will be at Brough Memorial Hall on the first Sunday in November (3rd) at the times of 12 noon to 1pm and then in the early evening from 5pm to 7pm. I am hoping for support as good as for July’s drop-in If you can’t manage the 3rd November, but have something for us, please phone me on 42135 to discuss alternatives. If I am not able to answer, leave a message with your phone number (and name which helps me to contact the right person) and a brief mention of what the call is about. The item in September’s The Way was seen by a chance visitor taking a break in Brough’s tea-room, phoned me from his home in South Wales and posted a number of used printer cartridges! Support comes from unexpected places. If you need bags for your offerings (and they DO appreciate it if their official bags are used) I have a large supply so please give me a phone call on 42135 to agree how you can collect them. Dave Williams

BROUGH ALLOTMENT AND GARDEN SOCIETY A huge congratulations to all BAGS members for the fantastic progress that we have made since the inaugural meeting in January We started the year with half a field and have grown together to create 19 allotments which include 1/4 and 1/2 plots. There are now 23 tenants, over a dozen chickens and several sheds and greenhouses. Rabbit fencing is an ongoing project, our efforts so far have reduced the number of furry invaders. Each plot is developing and the site has become well established. The saplings planted by the Primary School Eco are beginning to grow. The open afternoon was successful and very well attended. The weather was good and the village and allotment community enjoyed it. Maybe this can become an annual event and a fund raiser alongside the Easter Rally Tombola. Special thanks to Joe for getting the fencing underway, to Max for the gazebo and music, to Ailsa for the camper van kitchen and to Pat for making us welcome at Swanson House. Over the next few weeks we will all be winding down for the winter. It’s time to enjoy the harvest, sit in front of the fire, make yet more vegetable soup and to browse through the seed catalogues! Look out for the BAGS bright yellow harvest box near Oak Tree Garden on Sunday mornings. You will find fresh vegetables etc from our plots. Any gardener is welcome to add to it, surplus fruit, too many tomatoes, flowers etc. Feel free to have a look, any donations will be put towards BAGS funds. We already have a small waiting list for next year so please get in touch if you are interested in signing up! Experienced growers are always on hand to offer guidance if you are new to Allotment gardening. Email [email protected] Debbie Williamson (chairperson)

15 St Theobald’s Church Musgrave Monday 2nd December 7.00pm Taizé Service for Advent What is TAIZE? In 1940 Brother Roger a Lutheran Minister, left Switzerland to go to France, where the 2nd World War was raging. He arrived at the deserted village of Taizé, in France and acquired a house where he started hiding refugees, mostly Jews fleeing from the Nazi occupation. For two years, he prayed morning, midday and evening for reconciliation between nations and by 1949 a small group had joined him in prayers. Today over eighty brothers make up the Taizé community and they are from all dominations and from some 20 different countries. They continue to live a communal life dedicated to prayer for the reconciliation of all humanity. Since 1957 Taizé has proved a magnet for hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world wanting to join with the community in prayer for the world. At the heart of the community is communal worship in the Church of the Reconciliation, morning, midday and evening. To accommodate the many nationalities and traditions a very simple pattern of worship developed. Inside the Church is dimly lit, there are few icons illuminated by candles and the faint smell of incense can be noticed. During the services the Bible is read in various languages, after which there are long periods of silence. Most distinctive are some short chants, simply orchestrated and repeated, leading the people into meditative prayer. Taizé worship follows the pattern established by the Taizé community in France. It is characterised by:- beautiful simple music – Taizé chants silence simplicity and lots of candles All welcome

Brough Community Library will be open on Tues. 19th November from 10am to 11am and Wed. 27th November from 10am to 11am in Brough Methodist Church. There is a nominal enrolment fee of £2 for adults and it is free for children. You may take as many books as you can carry for no further charge. Please come and support this initiative to ensure it is a success and can remain open. If you have any questions just ring Heather on 42476.

18 STAINMORE WI Our AGM meeting went smoothly, with the usual suspects keeping their jobs for another year. We now have 28 members and nine committee members which is great. We are looking forward to our November meeting when John Natlacen will be bringing cheese from his shop in Kirkby Lonsdale. John is an entertaining speaker and lets us taste a selection of his unusual cheeses. One of his cheeses is shaped like a ball and covered in black wax. He tells the story about a lady who gave one of these as a Christmas present to her friend. At Easter she asked her friend if she had enjoyed her cheese. Her friend replied “Oh I thought it was a candle. It is still sitting on my windowsill”. Stainmore WI normally meets at the Methodist Church Schoolroom in Brough on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm. However, the November meeting will be held at the same time but in the Church Hall, Church Brough. New members and visitors are always welcome. D Clatworthy

23 Warcop and Sandford W.I. Mrs Maureen Heron (President) welcomed members to the October meeting and introduced our guest speakers Mrs Allyson Jenyon and Mrs Jenny Whitfield who are volunteers with the local charity Eden Animal Rescue. They also brought along a lovely dog named Mya who had found a new home with Allyson. Allyson told us of the history of the charity, from its early days when they were based in Hardendale from 1995 until September 2016 when they moved to their new premises at Moorlands Head Farm, Temple Sowerby. Allyson showed photographs of their new premises, with its purpose built facilities and paddocks and of course the delightful animals in their care. The charity has a non destruc- tion policy and will take older animals until they are re-homed. Eden Animal Rescue is totally reliant on fundraising and donations as it receives no government funding. With only 3 members of staff, volunteers are an essential element of the success of the charity and undertake a variety of tasks from ken- nel cleaning, socialising animals, dog walking and training and fundraising. The charity is home to a wide variety of animals and currently has 22 dogs, 39 cats, 6 Barn cats, 5 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs and 59 kittens! Eden Animal Rescue aims to rescue, care and re-home animals and gives these animals a second chance of happiness and as many of us know ‘animals can make our lives complete’. Mrs Sheila Morbey gave the vote of thanks. The Hostesses were Mrs Brook, Mrs Horn and Mrs Richardson. A Business Meeting followed when items from the W I News were discussed. We also discussed our forthcoming coffee morning at Appleby Public Hall on Saturday 19th of October. Our next meeting is our AGM on Wednesday 6th November at 7.30pm. There is no guest speaker this month, as following the AGM we will be filling our ‘Boxes of Hope’ shoe boxes which will be sent to children in Rumania.
