  • Beenham Woolhampton Midgham
    July 2019 Beenham Midgham Woolhampton Aldermaston and Woolhampton Benefice There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:Ecc.3:1 Dear Friends By the time you read this, most of you will already know that my ministry will be continuing in another place and that my final service amongst you will be on 7 July, 5.30, at St Mary’s, Beenham. If it’s not too short notice and you are free, it would be lovely to see you there! My association with this benefice pre-dates its coming together in 2005; as far back as the early 90s I started attending the Aldermaston, Brimpton and Wasing churches so my young daughter could attend Sunday School. In the way of churches, I was soon on the Aldermaston PCC as Treasurer and in the York Nativity Play as First Maid! Despite living in Baughurst, I always felt part of the Aldermaston community, made good friends and attended many events, both in the village and connected with church. Over the years, I came to feel that I wanted to serve God in additional ways, but nothing seemed clear. Revd Des Foote, who arrived following the formation of this new, improved benefice, asked if I would consider Authorisation to Preach in 2008. However, not content with that, he later asked if I thought God wanted me to investigate a call to Ordination. As I’ve said previously, there didn’t seem to be a good reason to say No! I then embarked on the most amazing period of my life which culminated in being Ordained for Local Ministry in 2015 and a new role amongst you.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission for England Proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction This response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for the restructuring of the wards for West Berkshire Council is from both West Berkshire Council Members for the Burghfield Ward (Carol Jackson Doerge and Ian Morrin), one of the two Members for the Mortimer Ward (Graham Bridgman) and the single Member for the Sulhamstead Ward (Keith Chopping). All of us are members of the Conservative Group. These three wards are those that form an overlap with the Wokingham constituency (which remains unchanged in the final version of the Boundary Commission for England’s 2018 Review proposals): Burghfield (two members: Burghfield parish), Mortimer (two members: Beech Hill, Padworth, Stratfield Mortimer, Wokefield and Ufton Nervet parishes) and Sulhamstead (one member: Beenham, Englefield and Sulhamstead parishes). The proposals for changes to ward boundaries The final (revised) WBC submission to LGBCE was for a 42 member council including: a single member Mortimer Ward covering the Stratfield Mortimer parish alone, a two member Burghfield Ward comprised of the Beech Hill, Burghfield, Sulhamstead and Wokefield parishes, and a single member Aldermaston Ward comprised of the Aldermaston, Beenham, Brimpton, Padworth, Ufton Nervet and Wasing parishes. The new two member Burghfield ward would have had an electorate of +11% compared to the average number of electors per member predicted for 2022,
