  • LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch
    November 2019 LINK-UP Keeping Churches in Touch www.godalmingchurches.org From the Past Chair All change for a new decade At the recent Annual General Meeting, which was held at the Old Rectory, Busbridge this year, there were a number of changes to the structure of the Executive of Churches Together in Godalming and District. For the time being, Rev Maggie Stirling-Troy will be Acting Chair and Angela Gilmour will be Vice Chair. The Executive consists of: • Secretary: Gillian Martin • Treasurer: Tony Bennewith • Past Chair: Michael Stubbs • Publicity: Edouard Le Maistre • Surrey Advertiser liaison and Catholic Rep: Angela Gilmour • Prayer Breakfasts: Michael Stubbs • GUC rep: Gwen Wheatman. • SS Peter and Paul: John Stevens We are also setting up a team (consisting at present of Maggie, Andy Poulsom and Michael Stubbs) to look at Good Friday 2020. The plan is for each church to hold its own service that morning and then to walk to Crown Court for a short service at 11:30 (tbc) and presentation that Trinity Trust Team have been performing in school assemblies. For Christmas 2020 we are looking at working with Godalming Town Council to erect a Christmas tree in Crown Court and still some sort of Nativity scene and the Carol service would take place in Wilfred Noyce in the afternoon, with Mayor and Town Councillors and others processing from the Town Council Offices.

  • A Little Handbook
    The Church of St Peter and St Paul HAMBLEDON A Little Handbook Minimum recommended donation £2.00 Foreword by the Priest-in-Charge of Hambledon The Reverend Canon Robin Coutts This guide is dedicated to the memory of Welcome to our ancient and beautiful church. Over the centuries it has been the focus John Goldsmith (1924 - 2011) for worship and community in this village. We hope that this brief account will give Historian of Hambledon you an interesting insight into the changes - architectural, liturgical and social - which are revealed in the fabric of this building. Amidst the detail you will find references to Hambledon’s well known connection with cricket and the less widely known part the village played in Britain’s defensive preparations at the time of the Napoleonic wars. In a more recent conflict, a service was held in this church for the many troops stationed in and around the village before they embarked for the D Day landings in 1944. More recently still, the church has proved a wonderful setting for raising funds for the welfare of servicemen returning from current conflicts. The social history of Hambledon reflects the historic and economic ups and downs of the countryside. There was relative prosperity in the middle ages with regular commercial fairs, notably at Michaelmas. Later there was a gradual decline in substance and livelihood and it became harder and harder for the village to maintain the fabric of a large church. Difficulties of this sort continue today. But, as this booklet tells, the church and community have always come together wonderfully to solve them.

  • Godalming Footways Report – 2016
    Godalming Neighbourhood Plan Report of the Footways Working Group Spring 2016 Introduction: Our Godalming Footways Group was started as a short-term project – an off-shoot of the Godalming Neighbourhood Plan Transport Group – to survey the state of public footways (as distinct from public footpaths) and identify action needed. Several meetings have been held, which has included use of `The Hub` in Godalming High Street for which we are grateful, with the remainder of activity actually traversing the streets on foot or by wheelchair. In embarking on this project, the situation was made plain that none of us could guarantee any follow-up work happening as a result, but we could at least hope! At our first meeting we were fortunate to be joined by two wheelchair users, fully supportive of the project, and one continued on to help with the survey work. Interestingly, it was they who suggested that as important as it is to consider pedestrians and wheelchair users in this survey work we should also be alert to specific locations on the footway where cycling would be appropriate: We have, therefore, had this in mind when the width and circumstances appeared right, and identified a limited number of such places. We recognise the current economic situation, at the same time as recognising that encouragement of walking and cycling is an investment in health and our environment,whilst contributing to the County Council`s objectives expressed in the `Surrey Transport Plan 2011-2026 Climate Change Strategy`. There is potential for funding to come from a number of different directions, including from `Planning Gain`.

  • Who Are You Sharing Christmas With?
    Who are you sharing Christmas with? The Diocese of Guildford have compiled this directory of support available over the Christmas period in Surrey and North East Hampshire. Thank you to all those groups who have shared information about how they are helping to support people at this time of year. Christmas is a busy time of year, celebrating and spending time with family and friends. However, we know that this time of year can be difficult for some people. They may be lonely – separated from family and friends, or vulnerable for other reasons. Note for Organisers: We have been advised by one lunch organiser that your local Waitrose may be able to provide support generally for groups who are providing lunch for those who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day. Another Source of information is http://communitychristmas.org.uk/ which has a good listing of community events across the UK Please share the information provided with those who may be on their own at Christmas and with those who may be looking for volunteering opportunities. If you know of another event, or are needing volunteers please do get in touch with the: Communities Engagement Team, Diocese of Guildford, Diocesan House, Quarry Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3XG tel: 01483 790 324 email: [email protected] Compiled by: 1 Dec 2015 Surrey Heath On Christmas Day a Community lunch is being held in Bisley Village Hall. The event is aimed at those who will be alone on Christmas day. They can only accommodate 40 guests so pre-booking is essential.
