Each time I switched on the TV or radio there was an interview, comments or F reruns of the great event, not to mention the contribution made by Britain via Jodrell Bank. We are rightly proud of the achievements the human race can make when it concentrates its efforts on a single project; but how do we measure great achievements? It seems to me that greatness is measured relative to what has gone before. For example, the first non-stop flight over the Atlantic was by Alcock and Brown in 1919. It was such an achievement that it won them £10,000 given by the Daily Mail – a prize in today’s money worth many millions. Yet we now fly the Atlantic without giving a second thought – to it, or to Alcock and Brown. Perhaps flying to the moon will become so mundane in years to come that Neil Armstrong will just be a name we can look up on Google. We are now told that the next great boundary to be conquered is the challenge of a return flight to Mars. Where will this stop? Perhaps at the edge of our solar system? Its diameter is said to be 7,440,000,000 miles so I think I can safely say that that is a long way off! Let us come down to earth, because I am convinced that one of the wonders and beauties of this life is living here in our little corner of Surrey. Hambledon is a very special place: not only has God given us the beauty of the countryside but we have a wonderful sense of community. This has been demonstrated yet again by the wonderful generosity of people which has made it possible for us to call a new minister to be resident at the heart of the village. He will be inducted on 15 September at 6 o’clock at St Peter’s – all are welcome but be prepared for a squash! Afterwards there will be an opportunity to meet both Simon and Naomi at Clock Barn Hall – again all are welcome, so please do come. All this makes me think of how big God is, and yet, how He is interested in our lives here in Hambledon. Sounds incredible? Well, it is. He tells us that He knew us even in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139 v13). If you have a moment you might like to read the whole Psalm. Anyway, do come along on the 15th and let us celebrate together. With my thanks to all, and the Warmest welcome to Simon and Naomi David Jenkins, Assistant Vicar Hambledon and Busbridge We look forward to welcoming The Rev Simon Willetts He will be licensed on Sunday 15 September at 6 pm at St Peter’s Church, Hambledon, by The Venerable Paul Davies, Archdeacon of Surrey All are welcome to this very special service, and to join Simon and Naomi at Clock Barn Hall afterwards for refreshments . There will be a screen in the church room, as space in church will be limited. But there will be plenty of room for everyone at the reception.

The cost of running Surrey History Centre is met within the Library and Cultural Services Department and the proposed cut in the annual budget for the whole department from £8.7m to £4.0m would, if implemented, have a dramatic effect on every aspect including Surrey History Centre. Many of us work with or make use of the Surrey County Council services under review and know the quality of the staff and how greatly research by ourselves and others will be affected if the proposed cuts go ahead. It would be a sad state of affairs if a county such as our own cannot adequately provide services such as these that enhance the quality of life and sense of place for all our residents and visitors.

  • The Cranleigh Railway Line
    Reinstating Rail and River Routes from Guildford - The Cranleigh Railway Line This article relates to a planning application WA/2020/0004 dated 02 January 2020 and placed before Waverley Borough Council by the Wey and Arun Canal Trust. It concerns the conflicts of interest that arise between various organisations; together with a wider question about transport infrastructure and connectivity at both local and national levels Our colleagues at Gru- Guildford Railway Users Group recently alerted us that a Waverley Council decision is still pending for the planning application to which both Gru, The Guildford Society and others have objected. Since the application date, various transport reports and government announcements have also been made which we feel have a bearing on this decision. Opened In 1816, The Wey & Arun Junction Canal linked the Wey Navigation near Guildford to the south coast via the Arun Navigation. It was intended to provide a safe, efficient route from the River Thames and London to Portsmouth to carry goods supplying the naval dockyards. However, the arrival of the railways led to its demise and by 1871 it was formally closed and over the passing years the canal fell into a state of disrepair and non-use. WACT is gradually trying to reinstate the canal that used to connect these two navigable rivers between the Thames and the South Coast and have had loyal support and much success in restoring many miles of waterway for use by leisure craft. However, a number of canal sections remain to be joined up and the WACT have various projects towards this aim.
