ST MARY’S VESTMENTS Following our first very successful vestment exhibition at St Mary’s last November we would like to thank those who helped in any way. Since then we have moved forward quite significantly, with interest from a number of sources offering help with conservation and advice. We also have several people interested in having a ‘private showing’ for their groups in the next few months. This will all help with the funding of items, which will need to go to a professional conservator. Linda, Sarah, Jean and Mary NOTICE As from 31st January, we are having to stop the use of the tip in Husseys Lane, which over the years has been used for dumping and burning etc. It is being done in compliance with the Agriculture Waste Regulations. There is a notice posted on the gate post at the entrance to the pit for anyone who would like more information - or interested. It is hoped at some time in the future to plant some trees and bushes in there. Roy Norkett, p.p. Caroline Goschen ADVANCE NOTICE! JUMBLE SALE in aid of Froyle Village Hall Saturday, April 1st - Doors open 2.00pm More details in the March Magazine, but start turning out your unwanted clothes, bric-a-brac etc. For more info contact Annette Booth, 22364

The work schedule is very much weather dependent and so, at the current time (January 16th) we do not have a date for completion, but we should be able to give a better idea in next month’s magazine. We very much appreciate the assistance of David Andrews and his team in keeping the main entrance to the Hall open over Christmas. There will, however, be a brief period in the next month where the Gents toilet will be closed, and the Ladies will have to function in a uni-sex mode. Chris Booth, Vice Chairman

FROYLE LADIES GROUP We ended the year with an excellent Christmas meal. Full credit to The Anchor for the food and service. On February 8th we begin with a talk by Mr Bernard Potter, “Travelling along the Basingstoke Canal to the Thames.” This is part 1 of 2 talks which have been highly recommended. Visitors, as usual, welcome. A little reminder! Subscriptions will be due that night. BJM

-2- THE MEETING PLACE Christmas seems ages ago now, but may I just thank all those people who helped at the Christmas Meeting Place:- Eira Cray for her delicious punch (I’ve already re-booked her for next year!); Lauraine Bourne & Jane Macnabb in the kitchen; Roy Norkett for running the Raffle; Janet Dobson for the Wine Raffle; Sue Sykes for playing the piano and Geoff Sykes for leading the carol singing with such enthusiasm; and last, but not least, Father Christmas for dropping in.

THE REFECTORY AT WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL A huge thank you to everyone who has helped this year especially the newcomers - 17 different Froyle ladies. A team of 8 - 10 ladies goes from Froyle to help in the restaurant at Winchester Cathedral three times a year. In 2006 the dates will be 19th January, 17th May & 16th October. It will be hard work, but fun - definitely different! I hope all the present helpers will continue but I would love to hear from anyone new - either for a 4 hour shift or all day! Anyone interested (not already on my list) contact Margaret Stanford (22139), or Elizabeth Avery (22210), and we can explain all! Just one stint a year would be a real help.

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB By the time you read this, another year will have begun with our January party once again a great success, a big thank you to Chris & Annette and Geoff for the quizzes and to Jayne Williams for all her hard work, and to everyone who helped make it such a fun evening.

If you would like to be part of a friendly group, (you don’t have to be a great gardener or even that good at gardening) do come and join us the second Friday of each month in the village hall at 7.30pm.

-4- RIP FREDERICK KNIGHT 29th April 1927 to 25th December 2005 He was born in Binsted, and lived in the old workhouse with brother Eddie and sister May. He went to Binsted school. From an early age he sang in the choir and sometimes sang in Winchester Cathedral. When he was younger he played cricket and football for Binsted. During the war he was in the Home Guard. During his National Service he was in the military Police (Redcaps) and spent sometime in postwar Berlin. He enjoyed helping with the Binsted Flower Show and after a short time joined the committee (which lasted for over 40 years). He showed for over 50 years. He got married in 1954 to Jean and moved to Bentley, where he was a gardener at Broadhatch. From there he moved to Holybourne as a gardener at the Lawns, where he stayed until he retired. One of the highlights of his service there was meeting Princess Margaret at the Lawns opening, and again some years later when she made a visit and remembered him from the earlier visit. Whilst there he brought up four children, Barbara, Tereena, Robert and Richard. On his retirement they moved to Froyle, where he joined the Froyle Gardening Club and enjoyed showing at both Binsted and Froyle Shows. He looked after Jean, whose arthritis had got a lot worse and enjoyed watching the grandchildren growing up. Both Fred and Jean joined the Kingsley Luncheon Club. Here they met old friends (from his football and cricket days) from the different villages. Also they met distant family in Kingsley. Lately, due to Jean’s condition only Fred attended. After a very short illness he passed away in Alton Community Hospital. Barbara Brown

THANK YOU The family would like to thank the Reverend James Campbell from Binsted for the funeral service at Aldershot Crematorium. Also they would like to thank the local people from the different villages who attended the service and for the support that was offered at this difficult time. We would also like to thank Mrs Fry for her help in in setting up and running the refreshments at Froyle Village Hall, after the funeral. Barbara Brown

-5- LENT LUNCHES We started Lent Lunches in Froyle in 1991 so this is our sixteenth year - and I’m sure there are a few people in the village who have been to all 90 of them! To remind everyone: they are a simple soup, bread & cheese lunch in aid of a charity chosen by the hostess. The lunches are from 12.30 - 2.00pm and we ask you to give £2 as a basic donation please (though do feel free to give more!). Pre-school children free. Anyone wanting to help in any way, give a lunch, offer/need a lift, donation if you are unable to come, please telephone Margaret Stanford on 22139. I much look forward to seeing lots of you during Lent. Ash Wednesday is on St David’s Day, so I feel I must do Leek Soup - not sure about the daffodils!

THE 2005 PRE-CHRISTMAS CHARITY WINE-TASTING A big thank you to all who helped and all who came to the 2005 event, which raised £410; and in particular to Jane and Ian and Robbie and Charlie Macnabb who so kindly allowed us to use the barn and provided the prize for the blind biltong tasting (so ably won by Phil Elliott); to Mary and William Knowles and Caroline and Charlie Findlay for their invaluable tasting skills prior to the day; to Beth and Guy Butterwick of e-claret who steered us all so excellently through the dozen different wines on offer; and finally to Jenny Gove who again worked tirelessly through her address book at least twice to insure a good turnout. The recipient of your generosity was Whitedown School in Alton, from whom we have had a delightful acknowledgement: “…We like to take our pupils and students out and about. For some, this happens less often as they have life- limiting conditions. Therefore, we try to bring the world to them…Next term we are focusing on farms and farming and teachers have requested that we buy in Millers Farm, which is a mobile farm with lots of hands on opportunities for the children. The money that you have so thoughtfully raised for us will enable us to do this and will give pleasure to all, so again, thank you very much indeed.” Susie and David Robertson

-6- CALLING ALL TODDLERS AND BABIES! If you have a little one with plenty of energy that needs to be burnt up, and you fancy meeting some great people, then Bentley Toddler and Baby Group could be the answer. Bentley Toddler and Baby Group meets every Friday during term-time, from 9.45am until midday, in Bentley Memorial Hall. It’s a fun and sociable group for adults and littleuns alike, with refreshments (including real coffee for the grown ups!), plenty of toys and equipment, weekly craft sessions and singing nearly every week. There’s plenty of room for the bigger ones to dash about and we also have a carpeted area for babies, with toys just for them. If you’ve any questions telephone Siân on 01420 520347 or Melissa on 01420 22695. Come and join the fun! POPPY APPEAL 2005 The total raised is £951 and once again a record. Thank you all very much for your generosity, which has led to an increase of £123 over the previous year. I am very grateful to the following people who have directly helped in raising these funds:- Home collectors:- Jenny Gove, Maria Jefferson, Maureen Fry, and Linda Bulpitt. The landlords and staff of the Anchor and Hen & Chicken Pubs. The manager and staff of the Jet petrol station. The secretary and staff of the Lord Mayor Treloars School. The organisers of The Meeting Place. Why the Poppy Appeal and why the remembrance of those who died fighting? O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good-will, but also those of ill-will. But do not remember all the suffering they have inflicted on us; remember the fruits we have bought, thanks to this suffering, our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart which has grown out of all this, and when they come to judgement, let all the fruits which we have borne, be their forgiveness. Written by an unknown prisoner in Ravensbrück Concentration Camp. A NOTE FROM ROZ Thank you to all my friends in Froyle for the many Christmas presents and greetings of the Season.

Carol Singing Thanks The Carol Singing round the village raised a total of £92.19 for the Samantha Dickson Research Trust. Thanks to Cecily Robertson and The Findlays for sustenance along the way and a big “Thank You” to everyone who joined us. Emma Arbuthnot

-7- FROYLE VILLAGE HALL BUILDING WORK Work on the construction of the Disabled Toilet Extension began at the beginning of December. We plan to keep the Hall open during this work, although there will be some limitations on access. The drawing below shows the entrances that will useable during this time. Entrance for the Doctor’s Tuesday afternoon Surgery will be via the Kitchen Door - the way in will be signposted. Our builder, David Andrews from Holybourne, hopes to cause the minimum of disturbance to users of the Hall. The current toilet facilities will not be affected until towards the end of the building phase, when the Gents will need to be closed for a few days and the Ladies will become a unisex toilet. Froyle Village Hall Committee

Entry prohibited to work area

Entry will be either through the Back Door or through the Patio Entrance as show. For the Tuesday Doctor’s Surgery, entry will be by the Back Door only.

-8- Dear Residents of Froyle I do hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. As usual, that last few days of the term proved to be busy for both staff and students. Christmas parties were held, carols sung, and tea for the parents served before they took home very excited sons and daughters for the Christmas holidays. We also held our very popular concert at Glaziers’ Hall, London, when our students and students from Frensham Heights School entertained our guests. This is always a very nice start to the Christmas festivities - we are lucky enough to have the opportunity every other year. This year is going to be very busy for our small events team, with many exciting things planned for the coming year. I hope to keep you up to-date with these events, and that some of you may be able to join in the fun with us. Hell’s Kitchen comes to Treloar’s - one of the first events will be our ‘Cooks Against the Clock’ competition to be held at Treloar School on Thursday 23 February. Do try and come along, we can promise you a wonderful evening, you never know, you may be the one chosen to create a meal with one of our celebrity chefs. Tickets can be purchased from our Events Team on 01420 526511/523 All the best for a wonderful 2006. Best wishes Chris Huffam. If you should wish to contact me I can be r eached at the T reloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected]

POLAND 2006 I am attempting to raise money for an expedition to Poland in 2006. We plan to go trekking for 8-10 days as well as doing two days of community work. This is likely to be with an organisation that takes sick children (who have been affected by pollution) from cities up into the mountains to convalesce. We also will visit Auschwitz, which should speak for itself. Part of the idea of this first challenge trip is for us to raise the money ourselves by a variety of fund raising ideas. I am hoping to raise the money I have to raise, £1135, partly by doing jobs around the village like walking dogs, cleaning cars and babysitting. I will be 14 in February. I am also hoping for opportunities to waitress at parties with the help of some friends also going on the expedition. Jo Barnden 01420 23309

-9- WHAT A DIFFERENCE A SUMMER MAKES We are now well into a second season of competitive football for AFC Froyle. After a particularly difficult season on the pitch last season, winning only one game in twenty-eight, we needed to improve both the quality and quantity of the squad. After some successful canvassing for players during the summer, things have taken a change for the better. With more players signed on than ever before, including seven from the village itself, there has been an instant improvement in the playing fortunes of the club. Having only won one game all of last season the team is currently 4th in the Aldershot and District Division III and with games in hand we will be looking for a top two finish and therefore gain promotion.

This is a county cup competition and we have already knocked out teams from the Isle of Wight, Southampton, Basingstoke and also local rivals Bentley Athletic. We are now one game away from the final and one of the biggest games in the clubs recent and long forgotten history. If you find yourself at a loose end, feel free to come down on support your village team on Saturday afternoon. We always looked to for new club members, whether that is playing, administration or social capacity. If you are interested in an aspect of our village side then my contact details are below.

-14- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All,All,Dear During the latter part of last year I heard that my application for the 2006 London Marathon to be held on April 23rd had been successful. I was rather surprised by this because I had been rejected in 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005 and that is quite a lot of rejection!! But no! - For this year in the ballot my name was chosen which just goes to show you that if you are rejected then just hang in there and who knows there may be light at the end of the tunnel! Now before I get too carried away - me running the London Marathon is not the main thing. The main thing is whom I am running for and I have decided this year to run for the Alzheimer’s Research Trust. “Why?” - you may rightly ask. “Well” - the main reason is a personal one in that two family members of mine suffer from this dreadful illness and I have heard about the effects this has had on those closest to them. It is out of a sense of not really being able to comprehend the suffering and thinking well I can at least do this that I am running. I have learnt a lot from the Alzheimer’s Research Trust that has further confirmed the rightness of my decision. I was unaware that research into this illness is very under funded especially when compared with what money is given to other illnesses like Cancer, Stroke and Heart Disease. Alzheimer’s is affecting more and more families. The hope is that our brilliant young scientists working currently in our universities with their teachers will not only learn so much about the causes of dementia that not only will the effects of Alzheimer’s be lessened but that a cure will eventually be found. Much progress has been made but further progress depends upon properly funded research. Thank you to all those who have supported be so far. If you want to help through sponsorship then the following in the village have so far very kindly agreed to “host” my sponsor forms.

The Meeting Place (Lower Froyle) The Hen and Chicken (Upper Froyle) The Anchor (Lower Froyle) The Church (Upper Froyle)

I have a personal sponsor form so you can contact me directly if you prefer on 01420 83240. With every Blessing. James

So if you are aged between 11 and 16 years old, and live in Froyle, you are invited to drop in to the Village Hall between 6.30pm and 8.30pm on Tuesday 7th March 2006. Admission will be free for the first month but from beginning April it will only cost you £1 on the first Tuesday of every month. We will have a small tuck shop with soft drinks, crisps and some sweets. So come and see. It’s a place for you to chill out. Teresa 520170, Karen 22507 FOOTBALLERS MARCH ON Five games have been played by AFC Froyle since the last update. Five league games all resulting in victory.

I’m afraid I had not realised we were not reaching the Thames until Part 3, so apologies for the misunderstanding. However, I think I was forgiven as the photography was superb. Mr Bernard Potter’s knowledge of wildlife, the local area and wild life photography was outstanding and much enjoyed by all. On March 8th we go to the “Jolly Miller”, North Warnborough at 7.30pm for skittles. Please assemble at the Village Hall at 7.00pm so we can arrange transport between us. We are all thinking of Jenny Shurgold, one of our most supportive members, who is ill in hospital as I write. Hopefully she will be better before we meet again. We all send her our love. BJM

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB For our February meeting Mr John Trim gave us tips on how to grow vegetables for showing from 16inch runner beans to 6foot high leeks, so come on all you vegetable growers out there lets make this year the best vegetable show year yet.

Plant pots available from Geoff Hawkins if needed. June Trim DATE FOR YOUR DIARY Rogation Sunday Walk May 21st More information in the next Magazine As if life isn’t busy enough in the “Pratt” household, January was interesting to say the least. An operation and a spell in hospital certainly made me slow down. I have been so touched by all the good wishes, gifts and beautiful flowers and meals on wheels my pals in Froyle have shown not only to me but Martin and the children. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I am back up to full speed and out and about again. Lots of love, Kim (AKA Betty) M.E SPRING FARE On the 18th March there is going to be Spring Fare in Frimley in aid of AYME, (Assocation of Young People with M.E).

Items can be left at 25 Westburn Fields or Greendown, Lower Froyle, or ring and we will collect. Megan Wimshurst 520068

-5- Dear Residents of Froyle I’m writing this piece early Thursday morning, 2nd February. We are about to welcome the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman David Brewer. Also one hundred and twenty eight visitors and one dog! The largest number of visitors to date will accompany the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress when they tour both school and college. Planning for this day started way back in September 2005, when the first invitations were sent out. Update - Although the sun did not shine and it was a bitterly cold day, the day was a great success. David Cross, head gardener and his staff managed to find some amazing colourful plants and shrubs to decorate the main school foyer. How they managed that at this time of year I have no idea. A lot of work has been going on over the last few weeks by the school gardening team. The field opposite the school has been given a new fence and for conservation many new trees have been planted. Best wishes, Chris Huffam. If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected]

Sincere thanks to all Froyle friends and neighbours for their greetings, letters, enquiries and get well cards during my recent stay in hospital. As a result of them I gathered strength, tunnelled my way out, and I hope soon to resume my daily village patrol propelled by my equally ancient dog. Ted Crowhurst

Outstanding, brilliant, wonderful, just cannot find the right words to express just how good Froyle Players Panto was this year. Well done to you all. The choice of a different theme on the panto scene was worth every penny. The vibrant colours of costumes were fabulous. So lovely to hear the fantastic voice of young Emily, her voice carried to the back of the hall I am sure. Good training from Karen, no doubt. After stepping down from the original team of players, Tanya and crew are doing a grand job. We are so pleased Froyle Players are ‘back on the road’ again. Last year’s performance was good, this year simply splendid. We shall now await news later in the year of what choice of Panto will be on the agenda for 2007. It’s very strange being part of the audience but we are getting used to it!! Jenny, Vince, Wendy, Margaret, Bob & Trevor

-6- Emma - School House, Upper Froyle! Dear Reader, My name is Emma Gibbs and “I can’t believe it,” I'm running in the Flora London Marathon! If you know me you would know this is going to be quite some challenge!!! I’m 36 years old, married with two children and live in Upper Froyle. I work in London for a small successful Recruitment Consultancy. I used to be very sporty, and as a child represented Hampshire in Netball and Athletics. I also enjoyed Show jumping competitively. All this activity stopped when I went to college! The social whirl and late nights took their toll on my physical fitness! 16 years on.... I catch the train from Bentley and last year I met Paddy and before I knew it he had contacted JDRF Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and I was filling out an application form and we have both been selected to run for them in their Golden Bond Team. Arghhhhh....Paddy and I have been in “training” for the last year.... Please sponsor me for this worthwhile charity. It's a once in a lifetime experience! Any donations and a good waterproof mascara and a long lippie will be most appreciated too!!! (NOT joking!) Lots of love, Emma xxx I have a sponsor form at home (School House) or you can visit my charity web page www.justgiving.com/emmagibbs

We would just like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the Pantomime, both on and off the stage and to everyone who supported it, by coming along to watch. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. DVDs of the show will be on sale soon (all profits to the next panto) call 01420 22709 for details. At the Panto party the cast and crew all voted for what to do next and the result was “ The Scarlet Pumpernickle” with Auditions being held on the 18th Sept in the Village Hall more details in future magazines. Once again, thank you to everyone in keeping the Froyle Panto alive and kicking.

Thanks to all who supported the Kidney Research stall and bought knitted goods etc. over the past few months. We raised £100. Thank you M.R.

-10- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All, The season of Lent fall this year on March 1st – an easy date to remember! Lent, the time for ‘giving things up’. I am always surprised how many people do take this ‘giving up’ business seriously. It is as though we know, really deep down, how important it can be and the church can act as a healthy reminder. Perhaps, this is because we have learnt the importance of the very opposite, that is, ‘not to give up’. Many a time, we know, it is right ‘not to give up’; we need to carry on to see things through ‘thick and thin’. ‘Letting go’ or ‘not letting go’ is a deeply personal business. I was reminded of this whilst reading Jane and Mike Tomlinson’s recently published book ‘The Luxury of Time’. Jane Tomlinson was the person who ran the London Marathon with terminal cancer and, who with her husband have raised over a million pounds for charity. Running the London Marathon for Jane Tomlinson became the symbol of her fight ‘not to give up’ on life. For others, however, the decision might have been the very opposite. Yes, the season of Lent is about ‘letting go’. Yet, Lent leads into Holy Week and Easter, the time when in unison with the natural world, the church in its worship celebrates new life and the victory over death through struggle. This reminds us that all ‘letting go’ is for a purpose, it can lead to something greater, and, of course, in itself, ‘this letting go’ can be the biggest struggle of all. Think of Gethsemane! With every Blessing. James

THANK YOU A Really Big Thank You to all who have supported me so far in my attempt to run the London Marathon on April 23rd in aid of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust. There are sponsorship forms in the Church, the Meeting Place, The Anchor, The Hen and Chicken, Bentley School. I have already over £2000 pledged and hope to reach my next target of £3000 for the charity.

JACK THE RABBIT Some people in Froyle have been enquiring as to how the Vicarage rabbit is. He is fine although another magpie I noticed tried to have a bite out of him and failed miserably!

CONFIRMATION If anyone is interested in being confirmed or wanting to know more about this please do contact the Vicar on (01420) 83240

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB For our meeting on Friday 10th March, Mr & Mrs Gilchrist entertained us and amazed us with their knowledge of Penstemons. They showed us how to propagate them, gave us a short history and showed us slides using the latest technology. A very enjoyable evening. Our next meeting The Spring Show will be held on Friday April 7th in the Village Hall, staging is from 6.00pm, refreshments will be served from 7.30pm. The show is open to members only, Single membership £3 family membership £5, but everyone is welcome to come along have a cup of tea or coffee, and a slice of home baked cake and to enjoy the sights and smells of spring flowers. There will also be a bring and buy stall. Schedules are available from Mollie Court and from The Meeting Place. June Trim FROYLE LADIES GROUP Our Annual Skittles evening was once again held at our favourite venue, The Jolly Miller at North Warnborough. An enjoyable evening was had by all. For some strange reason I managed to win the skittles. Jenny Shurgold got the booby prize but deserved better as she nobly played so soon after her recent illness. Well done, Jenny! After supper we played “Sudden Death” and Jean Norkett was once again the winner, nobly donating her enormous cash prize to the Ladies Group. Next month on April 12th we will be delighted to receive Chris Booth, whose title is “I Cut it My Way”. For the uninitiated Chris was a BBC Video Tape Editor. This may appeal to a larger audience and all are welcome for the small visitors’ charge of £1. NOT TO BE MISSED. Men do regularly come, so don’t be shy. Brenda Milam FROYLE OPEN GARDENS 27th & 28th May We are once again asking for HELP! We shall be serving teas and cakes in the Village Hall on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Could you bake a cake and/or help on either day in the kitchen? This year, in addition to the gardens being open, the vestments will be on display in St Mary’s Church. So we could be even busier, but going on past year, it will be Great Fun! We will have sign-up sheets at the Meeting Place in May, or just give one of us a ring.

This section we share with Holybourne and we hope to have some Holybournites joining us. We will be starting at Three Lanes End, so will need some kind drivers to ferry us there. The walk will take about 2 hours and is 3.75 miles long (this time we used a pedometer that worked!!), and, as usual, will finish at the church. We would be very grateful for volunteers to arrange teas and for any cakes lurking in your freezers. Get your walking boots out! Tamsin 22478, Jenny 23697 Date for your Diary - There will be a Safari Supper on September 16th. More details in following mags. A Big thankyou to everyone in Froyle who have been donating in anyway they can to the M.E fair. We have been overcome by the amazing amount of donations we have received. We will let you know how much we raise in the May magazine. We went to Camberley on March 6th and handed over the cheque from Froyle Players to Mary- Jane Willows the chief executive of AYME.

-5- Dear Residents of Froyle I would like first to express our thanks to Gill Bradley for hosting a wonderful Lent Lunch in aid of Treloar’s on Wednesday 8th March. Some of us ‘Treloar Ladies’ found our way out of the Whitehouse to enjoy lunch and meet some of you. Did you come to our ‘Cooks Against the Clock’ night? If not you missed a wonderful evening. Canon Roger Royle, (Treloar Chaplin 1991 - 1993) from Radio 2 was our compere for the first half of the evening, but due to adverse weather condition had to leave early and the role was taken over by Jon Colville, our very own Community Development Manager. Those of us who work with Jon already knew he had hidden talents but he certainly excelled his self that night and had the audience rocking with laughter. Few dates for your diaries Treloar School students will be holding a May Day garden fete in the school grounds from 2p.m on Monday 1st May; do you wish to learn about boccia, unravel the art of table cricket, hear the choir perform music from “The Little Shop of Horrors”, have your palm read, buy homemade cakes and home produced flowers? Then you must attend this extravaganza with all the family! Proceeds will be donated to two projects to help disabled children in Bolivia and Uganda; our students have genuine concern for those less fortunate than themselves. Cream teas and BBQ available! Treloar League of Friends will be holding their annual plant sale at College on Saturday 6th May from 10.00am - 12.30pm. This is always a well attended day, so come early and be one of the first to get your plants.

-10- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All, “Christ is risen – He is risen Alleluia!” The world cries out for love and hope. So many pressing problems and conflicts that we are reminded of on a daily basis. Tragedies abound and human cruelty seems to know no bounds but still the Christian faith says all this is not the final word. The final word lies with God and that word is Christ! Christ not the swear word but Christ the Word made flesh who has gone before us as the risen one and who now intercedes and prays for us. Death is not the signature written on all things but life won for us through the cross and the resurrection. Death is ultimately conquered! This is the Easter message that set alight the early Christian church and transformed it into a new creation, the new people of God. We are indeed as the late John Paul II reminded us an “Alleluia people”. Yet God’s way of victory is through shared suffering. In the light of this I am going to watch two films during Holy Week at the Vicarage to which you are most welcome to come along to if you want to. They are: - “THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST” on Tuesday 11th April “IRIS” on Wednesday 12th April I shall begin at 7.30pm and there will be a little bit of time left over for any thoughts and discussion. The first film I think needs no introduction, the second is about the life of the famous novelist Iris Murdoch who died of Alzheimer’s and her husband John Bailey who cared for her. Thank you to all who have continued to sponsor me for the Alzheimer’s Research Fund. If you have not already done so but wish to sponsor me there are plenty of sponsor forms around about the Village including the church. I wish everybody in Froyle a very happy Easter. With every blessing James

In keeping with this, our theme is the 60s. All the things that made the fête so special, way back then - but getting the kids involved right now. The Froyle 11 to 16 Club will be running their own stalls and are represented on the Committee. (So they'll laugh at the music and the way we dress up. We'll get over it). Grateful for all ideas and memories (Mary Knowles: 23164); and help with stalls (Jenny Gove: 23697).

BEATING THE BOUNDS On May 21st we will be walking the final part of our Parish boundary. This section we share with Holybourne and we hope to have some Holybournites joining us. We will be starting at Three Lanes End, so will need some kind drivers to ferry us there. The walk will take about 2 hours and is 3.75 miles long (this time we used a pedometer that worked!!), and, as usual, will finish at the church. We would be very grateful for volunteers to arrange teas and for any cakes lurking in your freezers. Get your walking boots out! Tamsin 22478, Jenny 23697 DVD DVD DVD DVDs of “Panto at the OK Corral” are now available at £8 each. Please call 0142022709 or email [email protected], to order your copy.

-1- FROYLE VILLAGE HALL www.froylevillagehall.co.uk Bookings : Maureen Fry, Bentley 22557

HIRERS OF THE VILLAGE HALL Will hirers please make doubly sure that heating is shut off, lights, especially the gents and ladies toilets, are turned off, curtains opened and kitchen and front doors locked. Please return the key through the letterbox of Chapel Cottage as soon as your session has ended NO MATTER WHAT THE TIME. If you have any comments, queries or complaints about the hall OTHER THAN BOOKINGS please contact the Village Hall’s Housekeeper, Annette Booth, on 22364. PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS A RESULT OF MISUSE AND DAMAGE, WE NO LONGER LOAN TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR OUTSIDE USE. FROYLE ‘100 CLUB’ DRAW April 1st - Mr D.Forester (13); 2nd - Mrs M. Hoare (1); 3rd - Lady Allan (73) John Cresswell ...... the final curtain The sharp eyed amongst you will have noticed that, from this month, we have a new drawing of Froyle Village Hall to head this page as the new extension is now complete and the entrance to the Village Hall is back to normal. The entrance and disabled toilet flooring has been fitted and, as I write this on Easter Sunday, we await a date for the decorators to arrive to paint the vestibule interior - they will also be doing the exterior woodwork as well. Some of this (fingers crossed) will already have been done before this edition of the Village Magazine hits the streets of Froyle. In the Disabled Toilet area we have also fitted a Baby Changing unit, which received its first ‘customer’ at the Easter Meeting Place. Chris Booth, Vice Chairman, Froyle Village Hall Committee VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE AGM This will be held in the Village Hall on Monday, May 22nd, at the earlier time of 7.30pm - all are welcome. The reason for the earlier start is that from 8.30pm until 9.30pm the Hall will be open for anyone to drop in, enjoy a glass of wine and take a look at the new extension, construction of which would not have been possible without your support. Pat Morris, Chairman, Froyle Village Hall Committee

-2- THE MEETING PLACE I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported The Easter Meeting Place, particularly Marian Cresswell, Jane Macnabb (not forgetting Charlie!) and Maureen Fry. Our Raffle raised a very creditable £104. Congratulations not only to Margaret Pruen who won the Easter Bonnet Competition but to all those ladies who entered as well. Perhaps we will see even more hats next Easter! Remember that the Meeting Place is open in Froyle Village Hall on Fridays from 9.30 a.m. until 12 noon for coffee, tea, squash, home-made cakes, postage stamps, local papers, greetings cards and company. You can always contact me on a Friday morning at the Village Hall on 07719164159.

Very many thanks indeed to everyone who supported them in any way - but most particularly to the Hostesses and their helpers for all the soup-making, furniture moving, laying tables and washing up. As always the most delicious soups were provided in vast quantities - everyone has seconds!!!! Top marks go to Lucille Chorley, Pat Pritchard, Maisie Pritchard and Gwen Knight for attending all six.

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB SPRING SHOW 2006 The show was judged by Mr Tim Hooper who congratulated us on a fine display of spring flowers under such difficult conditions. Three shows he was scheduled to judge in the last two weeks were cancelled due to the very cold conditions. The tulip was one casualty of the weather, only one exhibit of the dwarf variety shown. Although the entries were down the quality of the daffodils and various other spring flowers were excellent. The results were as follows:- Pollock Plate for the best Daffodil: Marian Cresswell Caithness Paperweight for best in show: Marian Cresswell Garden Gift Token most points in show: David Menzies Froyle Beech Bowl for Class 15 (Mixed spring flowers): Jane Williams Photography: (By popular vote) “English Countryside” Barry Clark “Spring is Here” (Tie between) Mollie Court & Barry Clark The next meeting is Friday 12th May - the speaker - Carol Watson “Overdosing on Wild Orchids”. Mollie Court FROYLE LADIES GROUP We were very privileged to receive Chris Booth in April. He gave a very enlightening account of his life as a BBC Video Tape Editor which was a very unglamorous life indeed. He seemed to be imprisoned in the basement in a small area editing a tape which he couldn‘t see as other members of the team hurled abuse at him. Fortunately there were compensations like travelling round the world following major sporting events and meeting famous people. Chris went to great trouble to make the talk really interesting and it was really good that so many visitors were with us that evening to appreciate it. Thank you Chris. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday May 10th, 7.30pm in the Village Hall, where the speaker will be Mrs S Biddle with a talk entitled ‘Natural Healing’. We have already started taking names for our outing to Brock‘s Farm West Worldham, including Barbecue, at £10 ahead. Please ring Brenda on 22216 if you would like to go on June 14th. Brenda Milam

DON’T FORGET - Froyle 11-16 Club meets EVERY Tuesday at 6.30pm in Froyle Village Hall

-4- OPEN WEEKEND FOR THE CHURCH VESTMENTS Saturday May 27th 11.00am - 6.00pm Sunday May 28th 2.00pm - 6.00pm As the liaison ‘officer’ between the Church and the Village, I thought I would let you know about a coming event. On the Open Gardens weekend, with the full support of the Gardening Committee, we shall be showing another selection of St Mary’s Vestments in the Church. A number of people in the village were disappointed that they couldn’t make the last exhibition, so we hope they will be able to come along this time. Apart from the vestments and again the history of the Miller family, we are also going to have workshop where you will be able to see the type of restoration work we are doing. Jean Norkett FROYLE GARDENS OPEN 10th Anniversary 27th & 28th May 2 - 6pm Five gardens will be open under the National Gardens Scheme. These are ‘The Cottage’, ‘Walbury’ and ‘Warren Cottage’ in Lower Froyle and ‘The Old School’ and ‘Treetops’ in Upper Froyle. The combined admission is £3.50 and visitors from the village will be welcome. Teas at the Village Hall and Vestments on display at St Mary’s Church (which will have a share of the proceeds this year) are added attractions. The gardens at ‘Brocas Farm’ will also be open - there is a separate charge of £2 for this. Last year nearly £3000 was raised for the NGS and other charities and we would like to maintain or exceed this if we can.

FROYLE GARDENS OPEN TEAS 27th & 28th May We are once again asking for HELP! We shall be serving teas and cakes in the Village Hall on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Could you bake a cake and/or help on either day in the kitchen? This year, in addition to the gardens being open, the vestments will be on display in St Mary’s Church. So we could be even busier, but going on past year, it will be Great Fun! Sign-up sheets will be at the Meeting Place in May, or just give one of us a ring. Janet Dobson 23340 Gill Bradley 520484

-5- Just to let everyone know we raised a massive £660 at the ME Springfair! Thank you so much again to all those people who helped raise this fantastic amount - we had so much support from everyone it was great. Megan Wimshurst

The Froyle Archive Open Day 2006 Saturday June 10th 10.00 to 6.00pm ~ Froyle Village Hall Over the past years we have had several Village and School Reunions where people who have moved from Froyle return to meet old friends and renew old acquaintances. These events have also been of use to us as we learn more about the village we live in from people who were here long before us. This year we are putting on what we hope will become an annual event - an Open Day for everyone in the village to come along and discover more about Froyle. Since we moved here thirty five years ago we have amassed a vast amount of information, maps, photographs, documents, and now, with the purchase of a ‘proper’ set of display boards (thanks to the Lottery Home Front Recall last year) we can display quite a few items from the collection. Not only will we have photographs but the Census records for Froyle (1841 to 1901), the records for Baptisms, Marriages and Burials for St Mary’s and family trees for many Froyle families. The picture below of the Scrivener family, taken in 1905 in the road outside Rye Bridge Cottages in Upper Froyle is but one example of many photographs that will be on display. We shall also be running throughout the day our collection of movies about Froyle, including some events that have not been seen before. So, do come along on June 10th - everyone is welcome. Chris & Annette Booth

-6- CHARITY COFFEE MORNING Treetops, Upper Froyle We will be holding our usual Coffee Morning on Saturday May 13th from 10 - 12 noon. This is to raise funds for NCH (formerly National Childrens Home) and Methodist Funds for World Church. Admission £1 to include coffee and biscuits. There will be Cake, Bring & Buy stalls, and a Raffle, plus a Plant Sale in the garden including bedding plants. Friends from the village will be most welcome and we look forward to seeing you on that morning. Marian & John Cresswell VILLAGE HALL JUMBLE SALE Our Jumble Sale, in aid of much needed funds to provide fireworks etc. for the village Bonfire Night, was held on April 1st. I have to admit, I was initially a little disappointed with the response we had from the village with only around 75 people attending. However, those who did support us did us proud and when I counted the takings at the end of a long day, there was no less than £400 profit. So, thanks to all of you who supported this venture, either by giving, buying or manning stalls. Annette Booth

DON’T FORGET Monday, May 22nd, Froyle Village Hall, 1.30pm tp 2.30pm

-7- BENTLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL Indoor Cricket The school cricket team entered the Hampshire Indoor Competition held at Dummer near Basingstoke. This was played over several evenings and Bentley progressed to the final winning their 3 group games. The final saw Bentley V Town End (Southampton) with Bentley emerging victorious by 45 runs. This meant the school won the competition for the 3rd year running. Congratulations to the team of George Austin, Sam Mealing, Matthew Goode, Felix Llanwarne, Paul Beagley, Stuart Bishop and William Hearne. Cross Country Bentley dominated the Eggars Cross Country Competition by winning all 3 races. The Fun Run for Year 3/4 boys/girls was won by Adam Murphy (Year 3) with Sophie Croft 2nd (Year 3) and Beth Saunders 3rd (Year 4) The Boys Race (including Year 6) was won by Alex Small, 2 years younger than many of the competitors. The team came 3rd overall. In the Girls Race, Bentley had 6 runners in the top 12 with Rosanna Stewart winning and Amy Fisher coming 3rd. Bentley easily won the team event. Year 6 Year 6 spent an exciting morning at Eggars where they learnt all about electricity and magnetism. The facilities allowed the children to do experiments that would not have been possible at Bentley. In addition Yr. 6 have worked with representatives from EHDC to learn all about recycling. They are now educating staff and children at the school and are organising our re-cycling. End of Term Service The term ended at St. Mary’s Church where children from the Infants played a leading role in the Easter Service. The church was packed with children, parents and staff.

Pupils from Bentley School Reporters, Camellia Hayes &Fleur Walker On the 14th March year 5 and 6 from Bentley Primary School attended a day out to Portsmouth. We took the trip up the Spinnaker Tower. Bravery was shown when children crossed the glass panel which was more than 100 metres above the ground! Secondly, we went to Cottage Grove School where we enjoyed our lunch. The children were very welcoming at Cottage Grove. Finally, our last port of call was to visit Portsmouth Football Club where one of the members talked to us about the stadium.

-9- Dear Residents of Froyle By the time you read this our students would have had their Easter holidays and returned to school, some to exams! School is looking lovely with many of the spring flowers out; nice to think that spring/summer is on its way at last. On April 2nd,Treloar’s was lucky to be the beneficiary for Mozart’s 250th Birthday Celebration Concert given by the Waverley Singers and the Tilford Bach Orchestra. This wonderful event was held at the newly re-furbished St Andrews Parish Church, Farnham and I understand from those who attended it was a wonderful evening. Have you ever played Pass the Parcel? As part of our centenary appeal our events team is planning to break the world record by getting 4,000 children to pass a golden parcel along the streets of the City of London on Friday June 23rd 2006. This should be a really fun, if not hectic, day. The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress will travel along the chain with a giant parcel, handing our prizes when the music stops. If you are in London come along and watch us try to break the record, soak up the atmosphere with celebrities, entertainers and live music and watch us trying to keep 4,000 excited youngsters under control! Our students together with students from Bentley School will be getting involved in this unique event covered by Blue Peter on TV and the web.

Best wishes, Chris Huffam If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected]

-14- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All, Over the last year it has been very encouraging to see our Sunday school develop within the life of the church. Currently the Sunday school meets on the fourth Sunday of the month at 11.00am and it has been so heartening to see our smiling youngsters in church in the front row! Children are not just the future of the church they are the church! Where do we learn the Christian faith these days? Not that long ago it was built into the very institutional life of the nation. The nurturing of the Christian faith existed in the press and media, in our schools and in the family but much as happened in our society that has made all this less certain to say the least. But, one thing is for sure, for many people, the basics of the Christian faith were learnt in Sunday school and that is why our present Froyle Sunday school is so important in the life of our village. When I meet the children after the Sunday school I ask how they have all got on and I am always told what they have been doing very eagerly. The energy of our children is always uplifting! They always seem to have done something that they want to show and show now! The emphasis in the Sunday school is to have fun. Yes, we can have fun and learn! We learn through play and we can learn the Christian faith through play – it’s called ‘Godly play’ and both Sunday school leaders and children alike enjoy engaging with this kind of learning. The emphasis is not on children sitting in rigid rows having to learn religious facts by rote and then being thoroughly bored and turned off in the process!! Rather through a ‘hands on’ and a joyful creative process Children are helped be put memorably in touch with the central truths of the Christian faith. I suppose it all makes me wish I were a child living in Froyle with the opportunity to go to Sunday school! If only we had had this in my day! If you are reading this and have children and would like to know more about our Sunday school please get in touch with me or one of our Sunday school leaders or just turn up on the Fourth Sunday of the month in church at 11.00am – we would love to see you!! With every blessing James

JUNE 2006 No:312 PARISH NEWS & VIEWS Parish Clerk - Philippa Cullen Stephenson Crabtree Gate, Well Lane, Lower Froyle Tel:01420 520102 The Froyle Archive Open Day 2006 Saturday June 10th 10.00 to 6.00pm ~ Froyle Village Hall Light Refreshments available all day This year we are putting on what we hope will become an annual event - an Open Day for everyone in the village to come along and discover more about Froyle. Since we moved here thirty five years ago we have amassed a vast amount of information, maps, photographs, documents, and now, with the purchase of a ‘proper’ set of display boards (thanks to the Lottery Home Front Recall last year) we can display quite a few items from the collection. Not only will we have photographs but the Census records for Froyle (1841 to 1901), the records for Baptisms, Marriages and Burials for St Mary’s and family trees for many Froyle families. We also hope, subject to a successful visit to the National Monuments Records in Swindon, to have several aerial photographs of the area on display, one of which dates back to 1927. Throughout the day we shall be playing our collection of movies about Froyle, including some events that have not been seen before. So, do come along on June 10th - everyone is welcome. Chris & Annette Booth

THANKS After the Annual Parish Meeting I realised there had not been a vote of thanks to our very hard working Chairman, Mick Wells, and ALL members of the Parish Council. They do a huge amount for us, especially in this day and age of excessive rules and regulations. I am sure everyone would join me in thanking them so very much for an excellent job. We are very lucky in Froyle. Margaret Stanford

I am hoping to arrange an evening trip to Mr & Mrs Gilchrist’s garden in July, more information in the next magazine. June Trim FROYLE LADIES GROUP In May we welcomed back Susan Biddle for a talk on Natural Healing. Beginning with her background in healing she continued with demonstrations on Meditation and performed healing on one of our members. Something definitely happened! We learned that all healing is tapping into a ‘life force’ and giving a ‘healing touch’. On June 14th we will be visiting Mr & Mrs Tom Brock at Manor Farm, West Worldham. We will be given a tour of the farm followed by a Barbecued supper at £10 a head. Lets hope its fine. If you wish to join us please ring Brenda on 22216.

ST MARY’S FLOWER ROTA FOR JUNE June 4th &11th Maureen Allan 18th &25th Sue Carr

SUNDAY SCHOOL 2005 REVIEW St Mary’s Sunday school burst back into action in January 2005, and was greeted with enthusiasm. Myself, Jeanette Cray, Mary Menzies and Katie Rath had a wonderful year enjoying time with Froyle children aged between three and eight. During the year we worked closely with Church House in Winchester to introduce ‘Godly Play’ to the children. ‘Godly Play’ is away of telling Bible stories using thought provoking and imaginative depictions of an array of stories throughout our church year. Over the course of the year we used several stories - Creation - Easter - Nativity. We had a wonderful autumn tea party to introduce more children to Sunday school and invited thirty local children to join us at Brocas Farm for a fun afternoon of craft stories and fairy cakes! As a result our numbers are gradually increasing and we welcome around eight to ten children per month. We finished the year with a wonderful nativity during the early evening service on Christmas Eve. The children acted out parts of the nativity as an early piece of magic for their day to come, and due to its success with the children and adults alike, we would love to repeat this again in 2006. Kim Pratt SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday, June 25th Please feel free to contact us for any further information - see you at Church. Jeanette (22709), Katie (23728), Kim (23315), Lucia & May

-10- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All, I would like to say a sincere and huge “THANK YOU” to all who helped me complete this year’s Flora London Marathon. Well I got round and OK it wasn’t the quickest ever recorded but I did get round in my fastest ever time by two minutes! Running it six years on, what I noticed was that it took me much longer to recover and by the time of writing I have not done a single jog since crossing the finishing line. It must be my age! But back to those ‘thank yous’ - thank you to all who sponsored me for the Alzheimer’s Research Trust and sent me notes and cards of encouragement. It is still hard to know quite how much you have helped me raise but I think with gift aid the figure could be nearer to £6000 than £5000. Thank you for your magnificent generosity and I know that Alzheimer’s would like to sincerely thank you all as well. I can definitely say I shall NOT be applying next year (do I hear sighs of blessed relief?) and I do not think I shall do it again but I am not going to say ‘NEVER again’ because I said that in 1998 and as a friend once said to me ‘never’ is a long time. Indeed it is. It seems that to complete the course in less than five hours (I was just a bit over) is something that is simply beyond me and I am just going to have to accept the fact. That is the spiritual bit of this letter! – Accepting certain facts in life is hard, necessary but ultimately freeing – and can therefore be redemptive and gracious. I was on target for four and a half hours (or at least under five hours) for a long long time but then I hit the dreaded “wall” at twenty miles and I found the last six miles a real struggle. Yes, it really is “a wall” for many many runners of whatever ability (even the good ones) but the pain experienced is far outweighed by what you receive in terms of crowd support and encouragement to keep going and complete the course. At this point in the story, as a Man, Women remind me that there is a comparison with childbirth! I couldn’t possibly comment!!! So there it is, I am convinced someone local is going to receive my application form for the 2007 Flora London Marathon. Who knows you the reader of this letter could be that lucky person! The last time I gave my application form away the person to my amazement did actually go on and apply and got on for the very first time of asking. I went up to watch him and give some support. The rest is history… With every blessing James

JULY/AUGUST 2006 No:313 PARISH NEWS & VIEWS Parish Clerk - Philippa Cullen Stephenson Crabtree Gate, Well Lane, Lower Froyle Tel:01420 520102 MINI MOTOS AND POCKET BIKES Mini Motos can he great fun but can also cause problems to other residents in the area. Some of these machines can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour and can be dangerous, not only to the users, but to passers by. The Law says:- If you are under 16, the only place you can ride a Mini Moto is on private ground, and you must have permission of the owner of the land. If you are over 16 you can use them on the public highway but to do this the bike must be (a) registered with the DVLA (b) taxed (c) insured and the rider must; (a) have the correct driving licence for a bike (b) wear a protective helmet (c) have number plates, brake lights and indicators (d) must ensure that the Mini Moto accords with all other statutory requirements. It is against the Law to use a Mini Moto on footpaths, pavements, cycle routes, open spaces or in public parks. (For example The Recreation Ground in Lower Froyle.) Police have the right to seize vehicles if they are being ridden illegally and repeatedly used in a manner which causes alarm, distress or annoyance to other people. Police have the power to issue an £80 penalty notice for disorder likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and the rider could be taken to court and fined or get points put on his licence. Froyle Parish Council RECYCLING On the 23rd of May, several Parish Councillors and Froyle residents met for a site visit at the Materials Recycling Facility on the site of the old Cold Store. The reason for our visit was to try to understand the difficulties dealing with the waste we all throw out, and the problem of paper lost from lorries taking it away to be recycled, on the carriageways to and from Alton. Aeolia try to address this problem by litterpicking, and by instructions to secure their loads given to haulage operators. We were welcomed by Aeolia’s (formerly Onyx) project manager Mr John Collis who spoke to us about recycling and took our questions regarding litter, noise and light pollution, before taking us on a tour of the facility. This is indeed a large and impressive operation, dealing with our waste is a dusty and noisy job. It was thought some information given here might help us to determine which waste goes into which bin, briefly… plastics, if it comes in bottle form, (no tops) it can be continued over

-1- recycled, even washed out bleach bottles, there are no facilities or a market for other plastics at the moment. Paper etc, all types of newspaper, pamphlets, office paper, magazines, flyers, junk mail can be recycled. Telephone directories, Yellow Pages, books, anything with a glued spine are not wanted, the glue contaminates the recycling process. To inform us further, every household will shortly be receiving a “whirly wheel”, a cardboard wheel with a window that can be turned to every type of waste with corresponding information as to where it should be put or where to take it.

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB I have arranged an evening trip to Mr & Mrs Gilchrist’s garden on Friday evening, July14th; the garden is Rook Hill, Monk Sherborne, Tadley. The time of the visit and instruction on how to get there will be displayed at the Fete and Flower Show. If you would like to go but are unable to arrange transport please ring me on 23336. Our trip to Paris passed all expectations, words such as Fabulous, out of this world and thoroughly enjoyable are just a few of the words used by the members and friends who came on the trip, our chairman is hoping to arrange a presentation of photographs taken on the trip, maybe at our A.G.M. I would like to thank everyone on the trip for making my job easy and for the lovely thank you gifts it was very kind of you all. June Trim FROYLE LADIES GROUP Our annual outing this year was to Manor Farm West Worldham, the home of Mr & Mrs Tom Brock. The trip was both enjoyable and very informative. We travelled around the farm on a trailer to witness the operations of a mixed farm-cereals corn & sheep. There was good evidence of conservation work in line with the Countryside Stewardship Scheme & other environmental organisations. The fields really were lined with wild flowers and areas planted with birds in mind. Hedges too are cut at the right time for the wildlife. We discovered how the farm has developed to provide fresh beef & lamb to be sold at Brock`s Farm shop in Alton along with other natural local goods. To complete the picture Anna`s kitchen now provides excellent homemade meals using less popular cuts of meat. We then enjoyed a superb meal consuming Hampshire produce including icecream from Basingstoke & Hill Farm apple juice ably produced by Mrs Elizabeth Brock. Younger son Tim was on hand to inform us about his work for Hampshire Fare which is funded by Hampshire County Council to promote Hampshire food for Hampshire people. All in all an uplifting and satisfying evening . Hopefully we can have many more 21st Century Farming success stories. Next month on July 12th Evangeline Brown will give us a talk entitled “Changes in China since 1989” with examples of Silk embroidery All as usual are welcome at Froyle Village Hall at 7.30 pm.

FROYLE OPEN GARDENS - TEAS 2006 Once again we would like to THANK ALL who made cakes for us and the volunteers who helped in the kitchen. Saturday got off to a slow start even though the display of vestments in the Church was open from 11am. The weather was humid with showers but at 4 o’clock the Village Hall was full. The warm sunny weather on Sunday brought in the crowds and the Hall was packed to capacity most of the afternoon. We would especially like to thank June Fenn and Martin Milam who worked tirelessly both days, but also a big thank you to: Annette Booth, Olga Crowhurst, Mary Chaplain, Rozi Dwerryhouse, Maureen Fry, Jenny Gove, Mary Knowles, Jill McKenzie, Patty Parrott, Pat Pritchard, Vivian Riley, Margaret Stanford, Lori Taylor and Danni Waugh. So many visitors, and some had come from far afield, complemented us on the quality of the teas and the hospitality shown to them in Froyle, and said how lucky we were to live in such a lovely village - but we know that, don’t we? Our final total after expenses came to £588.74, which will be divided equally between the National Gardens Scheme and St Mary’s Church.

We know the teas are renowned and contribute greatly to the total of £2,660 which was shared with the church for the renovation of the vestments. The rest went to The National Gardens Scheme. Thank you Peter Bradley for giving up time to deal with our book-keeping. CANCER RESEARCH UK Thank you very much indeed to all who have given so generously to our Froyle collections during the last year. In Lower Froyle we collected £388.70 and the Meeting Place tin was £12.91. I was helped by Kate Barnden, who, this Spring, collected £44.42 in her end of the village. Claire O’Donnell is also helping this year at the Copse Hill end. Upper Froyle collected £238.73 - thanks to Ann Roberts and the tin at the Jet petrol station.

-9- ST MARY’S CHURCH TEXTILE GROUP During the recent Froyle Garden’s Open Weekend in May, we held an exhibition in St Mary’s Church of some of our priceless church vestments. In spite of a wet Saturday morning, a steady stream of visitors arrived before opening time and that pattern continued throughout the day and was repeated on Sunday afternoon. As we closed the doors to the last visitor (well after our advertised time), we were delighted to learn that we had raised in excess of £800 for our Textile Restoration campaign. Our day got even better when the Open Garden’s Committee awarded us a very generous donation to our funds. We heartily thank them for their support. We would also like to thank everyone else involved in this exhibition; the furniture movers, lighting technicians etc (and for their help putting it back afterwards), the Stewards, Froyle’s Archivists Chris and Annette Booth for the information display boards on Sir Hubert Miller who gave the collection to St Mary’s. Finally last, but not least, the visitors, who showed such a keen interest and gave so generously. If you would like to join our small Textile Group we meet every Wednesday morning at the Church from 10am – 12noon (barring holidays and sickness, so it’s worth telephoning one of us to double-check!). No previous conservation experience is required, nor do you have to be good at embroidery either. A lot of what we do is simple “house-keeping” checking the drawers for moths and dust-vacuuming the delicate collection plus basic stitching and mending. We are over halfway to having enough money to send the first of our vestments to the Conservator for professional repairs. All of the vestments are C18th and C19th but the oldest is a C16th altar frontal. All require serious repair work to preserve them for future generations, so fundraising is an ongoing commitment. We now have postcards of some of these beautiful vestments on sale at the back of the church and we had a workshop last month from an Arts group who spent the day photographing and sketching the vestments. If you would be interested in a private viewing of the collection for your group or perhaps putting together a workshop we are happy to discuss this as a fundraising option. Linda Bulpitt (22725), Jean Norkett (22591), Sarah Thursfield (23294) ROGATION SUNDAY MAY 21st On a filthy wet day, a few intrepid souls stomped their way around the final part of the Parish Boundary. We met up with even fewer Holybournites, and got round in record time. The children had a great time getting as wet and muddy as possible, and we finished up at the church for a typically sumptious tea, courtesy of Sarah and Linda. Thank you both very much, because that was definitely the highlight of the walk!! In fact we enjoyed the wildness of the day, and it gave us an excuse to have a long languid bath, and stiff drink!! There is a possibility that we could do the whole boundary next year - watch this space!! Tamsin & Jenny

-10- Dear Residents of Froyle How did you get on with last months quiz? Here are the answers: Like Do not like Big Friends Play

Treloar School could not function without a large number of very dedicated staff. In the coming months I thought I would give you an in-sight into the various departments to see how they function, starting off with our Porters. Our three porters work a system of shifts, two on early shifts and one on late. For the early porters their day starts at 06.30. One starts by cleaning the swimming pool while the other unlocks all the doors around the site so that the domestic staff can begin their cleaning routines. Our two porters then visit every corner of school collecting rubbish, rounding up and delivering laundry, distributing stationery, sweeping, lifting, carrying and generally being at the beck and call of everyone. At 2.00pm the late duty porter starts his shift. His duties are much the same as the others, but this time his duties include the added burden of security. I am reliably informed that you could track his progress around the school by the slamming of doors, shutting of windows and the jangling of keys. This shift ends at 10.00pm when he can wend his weary way home. We must not forget that they also manage parking, directing visitors, setting up chairs and generally being available to help out at the many functions which occur either during the school day or in the evenings. Best wishes, Chris Huffam If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected]

Grateful thanks to Ron Figgins, who has cleared the footpath beside the pottery so beautifully. It was becoming almost impossible to walk there, but it is now clearer than it has been. From one who walks it daily, thank you Ron. Jenny

-14- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE

Dear All, Recently I attended two local church meetings on the theme of Islam. I found both meetings interesting. I was heartened and encouraged by some things that were said, disappointed by others. Yet from both these meetings I came away with the feeling that Islam and our relationship with this world faith really is the theme of our times. How do we begin to relate to Islam? Christians and Muslims share one very important belief. Both religions believe in a creator God. Christians go on to say much more about this creator God and how this God relates to our world but both share the same belief in the God who creates. This is so important for both faiths for one simple reason. If we acknowledge that there is a creator God we can then go on to say that we can have a personal relationship with this God. Yet, there is the other side to all this, something that I tried to express recently at a meeting of fellow clergy! If God created us and God is good then what he has created is good. Every human being shares with another human being a common humanity, and this humanity is essentially good and a given because it is has been created by a good and creating God! Now, I know this avoids really fundamental issues like sin, evil and suffering but when ever I have tried to think through these issues (as any Parish Priest worth their salt has to) I have tried never to let go of that fundamental belief. When we see people as essentially sinful or evil because of the suffering we think they have caused our own perception of God becomes distorted and the tragedy is that we seem to loose (in our own loss of our own self perception) a little something of the goodness of our own humanity. Last February I had the opportunity to visit the town of Mostar in Bosnia Herzegovina. For centuries Christians and Muslims have lived peacefully together as they have done in many other parts of the world. Then in 1992 and 1993 ‘a vile convulsion’ took place as the old Yugoslavia broke up and Mostar became the centre of bitter conflict. Mostar means ‘old bridge’ and the beautiful old bridge built in 1561, a symbol of harmony between peoples and the genius of Islamic architecture was destroyed by a barrage of tank shells. The destruction of the Mostar Bridge seemed to become a symbol of all that was utterly senseless and sinful about the conflict. Today the bridge has been restored to its former glory. People are trying to live again in peace and the bridge has become a symbol once more of that common humanity we all share whatever our gender, sexuality, race, nationality or religion. Visiting Mostar Bridge helped me understand more about the essential goodness of the creator and reconciling God and for that I am really thankful. With every blessing James

I’m sorry the price of the Harvest Supper has had to go up but it’s been the same for over 10 years and the new licencing laws this year have more than doubled the cost of a licence. I’m sure you’ll agree the evening is still a great bargain - where else could you eat such splendid food in such convivial company for £6 and walk home afterwards! Linda Bulpitt

The Probation Service working party in July not only painted the main hall but the kitchen, the entrance hall and the radiators in the toilets. They then went on to weed the patio and do quite a bit of tidying up on the Recreation Ground. There are still a couple of small jobs to do like the front door and the paving outside, but, basically, the project is now complete. Chris Booth, Vice Chairman, Froyle Village Hall Committee Sunday School Picnic On a warm sunny Sunday afternoon in June, St Mary’s Sunday School children held their first “Summer Picnic”. A fun couple of hours was had by all. A chance to play in the secret garden at Treloars or catch up with some friends over a wonderful sticky lunch. On the menu, jam sandwiches and beautifully decorated biscuits all prepared during Sunday School. Thank you to everyone who came along to make the children’s afternoon so special and a big thank you to Treloars for the kind use of their garden.

-3- Another Summer Gone, Another Season Commences Some of you may think that football has not stopped this year, particularly with the World Cup dominating the summer. Well…. It did for AFC Froyle and we are just getting ready to start again. Last season did not bring the trophies we had hoped for. After losing in the semi-finals of the county junior cup competition we eventually finished a very respectable third place in the league. However, the boys were disappointed and had hoped for more. This attitude shows just how much the club has developed over the past twelve months. At our annual presentation evening the awards went to the following players: Most Improved Player - Aaron Grocott Top Goalscorer - Tom Cox (32 goals) Managers Player - Graeme Wearn Players Player - Richie Dennett The third place league finish rewarded us with promotion and we will be playing in the Aldershot & District Division II from September. The season starts on Sat 2 Sept 06 and we commence with five home games in a row through September. So, if you find yourself at a loose end we would welcome your support. We look forward to the new season with anticipation, especially as the Parish Council are providing some much needed modernisation to the Pavilion. For this, the club would like to publicly express our deepest appreciation. New members, young and old, playing and administrative, are most welcome at the club, so if you are interested in any aspect of our village team then do not hesitate to contact me. Come on you Froyle! Jason Smith, AFC Froyle, Treasurer. Tel: 521056 FROYLE CHARITY QUIZ NIGHT Saturday, October 21st at Froyle Village Hall in aid of Naomi House Children’s Hospice Doors open 7pm.

Roses did particularly well, sweet peas, pinks, mixed garden flowers filled the hall with a lovely aroma. The judge was very complimentary on the quality of all the exhibits and congratulated us on the overall appearance of the hall. The children’s section was a little down on last year but it was good to see one of the youngest, who was only four years old, won a cup for her decorated carrier bag (‘Mrs Lewarne Cup’) well done Kitkin!.. The next important date to remember is the 9th September for our ‘Autumn Show’.

For those of you who did attend we hope that you enjoyed meeting up with our staff on a beautiful summer afternoon.

During the last few days of term the fundraising team led by Jon Colville, Community Development Manager, laid on a summer picnic for year 11. This gave us time to wish them well as they leave school and move on, some to college in September to continue their education. It was a real old fashion picnic with sandwiches, sausages, jelly with ‘squirty cream’ and plenty of cake and ‘pop’. School is now closed for a well-earned summer break. Although, there are some departments that do not close, the facilities department being one of them. The summer break gives the facilities team time to work on all those jobs that cannot be done while school is working. Best wishes, Chris Huffam If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected] Many thanks to all in Upper & Lower Froyle for a superb collection, £218.77, for the Men and Women Lifeboat Crews, R.N.L.I. It took a lot of walking, but it was worth it. Ron Figgins, R.N.L.I. P.S. All Triangle Boxes, many thanks again.

Thanks to all of you who baked frantically and productively, and kept us well supplied. I could not have managed without the help of all those who volunteered their time on the stall during the afternoon. I hope I have thanked you all verbally, but in case I have missed someone, please accept my appreciation for your time cheerfully given. Special thanks must go to June Fenn and Jean Norkett. who have run the Teas much longer than I have, and to Martin Milam, for his diligent and professional disposal of grubby crockery! You all make my job so much easier. Finally, thanks to all of you who agreed, often without pressure, to run stalls. It was nice to have some new people getting involved this year; hope it is the beginning of a trend!? See you all next year. Jenny Gove

-10- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE

Dear All, I have just finished reading Dan Brown’s book ‘The Da Vinci Code’. Like most people I had heard quite a lot about it and the reaction it had caused. I was intrigued to learn that the book had been turned into a film and that a small part of it had been filmed in our very own Cathedral in Winchester. I haven’t said very much about the book because I don’t like talking about books (or films) that I have not myself read. Well now I have read it and consider myself an expert! For a start the novel reminded me of another author, Morris West some of whose novels I had read many moons ago. Like Morris West, Dan Brown takes religious themes and turns them into a good read. As light fiction goes I thought the book was quite good although I have to admit I have read a good deal better. What I think Dan Brown does do effectively is press the right buttons; medieval symbolism, conspiracy theories, religion – it’s all there set within a surreal world of hi-technology. As a light read, for me, it did the trick and helped me relax but I was left puzzled as to why this work had apparently left so many people completely stressed out! Dan Brown is certainly a very clever author. I have mentioned ‘the pressing of buttons’ he is also able to weave into the narrative suggestive material from the world of art criticism and religious history. Perhaps this is where we might enter difficult terrain although I have to say I thought this was the fun bit! All the stuff on the code I found a bit boring and I have to admit I did tend to skip ‘the too clever by half stuff’. I do have to admit though I was enticed by some of the art theories. Would I recommend it? Not really. As I say I have read a lot lot better light fiction. If one wanted to explore art or religion further there are other places to go and begin and really explore the issues. I feel it would be as mistake to begin with ‘The Da Vinci Code’ as I find it is helpful to distinguish between fact and fiction and the novel in what it suggests can easily blur the two in our minds. With every blessing James Flora London Marathon 2006 Once again thank you to all the people in Froyle who sponsored me for the Marathon. I raised £4967.40p for the Alzheimer’s Research Trust. In addition the charity was able to reclaim a further £859.98 through Gift Aid. I have pinned up the correspondence from the Charity on the church notice board at the back of the church should anyone wish to read it. The Charity thanks all who sponsored and supported me.

-3- A MESSAGE FROM ROZ & EDDIE Saturday August 19th 2006 has come and gone and we have started our new life together as husband and wife, and as many of Roz’s friends in Froyle will have noticed we are back from honeymoon and continuing every day life such as working. We are both so very grateful that so many of you came to the church to share in our special day and we both thank all of you for that. We are glad that you came to the service and did not just come to see your Roz arrive at church, what a lovely sight it was to see the church full and hear the hymns sung with such warmth and with enough volume to raise the church roof. So many people other than just members of both families and friends played their very own important part in our wedding, that there are to many to mention everyone by name for fear of forgetting someone and in turn offending them. There are the people who clean and polish the church, the bell ringers, the choir, the organist, the flower ladies & Tony, James who allowed our guests to park in his field, the various gardeners and grounds men and the Treloar Trust for allowing us to have photos taken in their grounds, Nigel Roz’s very own stand in page boy and we must not forget James who performed the ceremony. What a wonderful day it was and you all played your part in our special day, thank you to all of you for what you all did for us, and to anyone that we may have unintentionally missed, we will never forget your kindness. Rehearsal night and we thought things had not gone too bad and were just about to come to an end, think again folks, a group of lovely people from Froyle poured into church. What a surprise to see so many people turn up just as we had finished, not least the reason why you all turned up, we can tell you now it brought a lump to our throats. Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes and thoughts and the wonderful gifts that you have given us, not forgetting the card signed by almost if not everyone in Froyle, at the moment we have not decided what to spend the money on, but we will spend it wisely. Finally thank you from both of us, Roz & Eddie

Harvest Sunday Do come to Choral Evensong in Froyle Parish Church on Harvest Sunday 8th October at 6.30 pm. The Froyle Choir will be joined by singers from Alton Parish Church.

-5- FAREWELL As many of you will have seen or heard, the O’Donnells are on the move! It has been a special place for us to live as Miles has grown up here since a baby whilst Phoebe has blossomed into a young lady, now at Lord Wandsworth. We have really enjoyed being part of a village community. It’s something Claire has known for most of her life, but for a Londoner like me, having no street lights took a bit of getting used to. However, you haven’t got rid of me yet and I’m hoping you won’t for another few years. As many of you will know, since May 2003, I’ve had the privilege of representing you on East Hampshire District Council. It has given me the chance to get more involved in local issues from the future of the Quarry to the recycling plant, and from persuading the Council to support the Village Hall development to working with you on planning applications. Not only have I really enjoyed the experience but hopefully I’ve made some positive differences to the life of the Village and more people know me as David rather than Claire’s husband! Two of the conditions I gave to Claire when searching for our new house were that it must be in East Hants and as close to Froyle as we can get. In that way, I can continue to represent you at least until May next year and for another four years if you’ll have me when I stand for re-election. We started here with a village Safari Supper and we are ending our stay with the same event; quite a coincidence! Seriously, thanks to you all and we shall miss Froyle enormously David, Claire, Phoebe, Miles, Arthur & Punky the ponies and Roxy the Dog News from the Froyle Archive This item has been delayed from the July/August magazine through lack of space. Our first Open Day in June was a great success and we will definitely be repeating it each year from now on. Next year’s event, again in June (date later on) will have as its theme “Froyle, Now & Then”, and will record some of the changes in the village in the last 100 years or so, as well as having all the usual documents and, hopefully, some new ones, on show. In July we finally sold the last copy of the millennium book “Froyle, 100 years of Memories” and this will not be re-printed. However, we have re-launched it as an e-book on CD-ROM, and, in the process, it has gained the added bonus of becoming searchable. The price remains the same, at £9.99, but postage will be slightly less, as a result of the new postal arrangements, at £2.00. We still have to sort out if the e-book needs a new ISBN (we have a few left!), but if you would like a copy, contact Annette Booth on 01420 22364. We still have plenty of copies of our second book, “A Village School”, in hardback, at the same price. Chris & Annette Booth

-9- Dear Residents of Froyle In July, after many years of sterling work, Treloar School Headteacher Neil Clark resigned. The Trustees would like to thank him sincerely for his dedication and committed service to Treloar’s over the last 17 years. We wish Neil and his family well for the future. Heather Boardman has subsequently been appointed as Head Teacher. She is living on-site so is joining the community as well. In common with all secondary schools, Treloar’s has an Exams and Assessment Department. We record the assessments of all our students and some take external tests at key points in their school career. Gill Bushby, our Exams Officer, explains how well our students have performed in the last round of exams “I am the Exams Officer and Assessment Co-ordinator and one of my jobs is to ensure that the exams and tests taken at Treloar School run as smoothly as possible. Many of our students take GCSEs and their r esults this year varied fr om A* to G. Each result marks the culmination of years of hard work by students, their teachers and support staff. Those with high grades can pr ogress to A Levels and to Higher Education, but all our students have moved on to a college of their choice this year, to take a huge variety of courses. Even an appar ently low exam grade can mark a tremendous achievement by a student who has overcome enormous problems. This is also true of the work of the Entry Level candidates, and the students whose class work is assessed by exam boards for the National Skills Project and Assessment for Living and Learning. All Treloar students leave the School with nationally r ecognised qualifications and can look forward to returning for a Presentation Ceremony in November, to receive their well-earned certificates. After the tension of the exam organisation, this event is the high spot of my year!” I would like to thank Gill for letting us have an insight into the way of Exams and Assessments. Best wishes, Chris Huffam If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected]

-14- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All,All,Dear This month sees both our parishes of Froyle and Holybourne celebrating Harvest. I do hope that you can come along to some of our Harvest events. Our churches look absolutely wonderful at this time of the year with all the harvest decorations reminding us of our closeness to creation and so inevitably to our closeness to God. Our gardens, too, remind us of our closeness to God the Creator. Yes, indeed, they are a lot of hard work especially to an unkeen gardener like myself and my gardening extends to little more than trying to ‘keep it all under some sort of control’ type, but then again, I think, well I am here and God has entrusted this little bit of his creation to me to look after so I better get on and do something about it. God, in short, allows me and you to be his co-creators. Put another way, perhaps when we garden we’re involved in some kind of marriage between a heavenly Father and an earthly mother. Indeed maybe we’re the kids all part of the family! - Loved by our parents but infuriating them at the same time! Who knows? - But when we look at the state of the world (rainforest devastation, pollution etc.) perhaps there is more to this muse than meets the eye. Well, what does this reluctant, not very good co-creator want to say to the parents? I don’t like rats especially when they make their home at the bottom of my compost bin. I wish the heavy rain in May had not devastated my newly sown and sprouted Tarragon and Dill. On the other hand, I do feel that I have contributed in some way and I am proud of five ‘very vulnerable’ looking leeks. I feel satisfied that the chard worked. I suppose I have learnt to let things ‘be’ a bit this year – like leaving colourful sections of the garden, unmown. After all why not give the weeds a chance? You made them! I am constantly amazed how birds catch on so quickly to what’s going on around them and wish we human beings could sometimes do likewise. Because when it comes to this fragile planet, that is Yours, if we don’t, we are in for trouble. Please show us the way! Guide and direct us! “Lord my God, most merciful, most secret, most present, most constant, yet changing all things, never new and never old, ever in action, yet ever quiet, creating, upholding and perfecting all, who hath anything but thy gift? Or what can any man say when he speaketh of thee? Yet have mercy upon us, O Lord, that we may speak unto thee, and praise thy Name” – Jeremy Taylor (Anglican Priest) 1613-1667 With every blessing James Friday 6th October Harvest Supper Saturday 7th October The church will be decorated for Harvest Festival Sunday 8th October Our Church Harvest celebration this year takes place 11.00am Eucharist - please bring harvest gifts 6.30pm Choral Evensong Everybody welcome!

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB Mr Dennis Bright showed us some amazing photographs and had us all wanting to rush off to Tichfield Haven to see the vast number of rare and interesting birds, from Bitterns, Terns, and Reed Warblers, to Spoonbills, Alpine Swifts and even a Flamingo.

ST MARY’S TEXTILES Just a quick update to let you know how we’re getting on with the vestments. We are currently working on an early 18th Century set of silk and satin vestments, probably of French, or maybe Italian origin. They are purple with intricate gold stitching and embroidery, but as you can imagine, being 300 years old, they are very delicate and just a little tatty round the edges. We are aiming to have them restored and strong enough to use for the Church’s next “purple” season, which will be the four weeks of Advent in preparation for Christmas. All will be revealed on the Sunday 3rd December. Some vestments require more TLC than we are capable of and we are currently meeting a number of specialist conservators to discuss prices and timetables. Jean Norkett (22591) SAFARI SUPPER We were blessed by wonderful weather - warm and dry, on Saturday September 16th for the Safari Supper, in aid of St Mary’s Church; which meant that many of us could perambulate around the village, in various states of inebriation. Grateful thanks to Jenny & Jamie Dundas for providing their wonderful barn as a start and finish venue, and for all the wine. Thanks also to Sarah for the magnificent raffle prizes, and their presentation, and to Clive for fleecing everyone so successfully. Obviously, without all the hostesses, there would be no supper, so many thanks to you all. The final total raised was £1600 - pretty good for one night; Froyle certainly knows how to party!

-6- Dear Residents of Froyle Autumn mornings are definitely with us and it’s sad to think that thoughts have turned to putting on the central heating! Students new and old have begun to settle into their daily routine. The Fundraising team are busy planning our visitors’ diary and the Events team are already hard at work planning forthcoming events – a very busy lead up to the Christmas period. Our Christmas cards, Christmas Puddings and other merchandise are already and just waiting for the orders to arrive with each morning post. In last month’s magazine I introduced you to Heather Boardman, Treloar School’s new Headteacher. Heather would like to tell you a little about herself and has penned the following words. I have a background in working in schools with children and young people with Special Education Needs and I also have some experience of working for charities. I am thrilled to be working at the School and working through the year to ensure Treloar’s is recognised for its outstanding contribution to children and young people with physical disabilities My husband and I are looking forward to being members of the Froyle community and becoming active participants. Heather is hoping to join me on my next visit to the Froyle Meeting Place. Symbol of the month - “where?”

Best wishes, Chris Huffam If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected]

-10- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All, I think November often seems to be a sombre month. Long Nights and ever decreasing daylight hours do have an effect on us. Colder days mean that we have to wrap up warm and summer seems an awfully long way off – both the summer that has gone and the new one that has still yet to arrive. Creation ‘sleeps’. In the temptation to hibernate, however, November calls us to remember the dead with its feasts of ‘All Souls’ and “All Saints” and with the secular commemorations of “Remembrance Day” and “Remembrance Sunday”. We hear the distant sound of the bugle, the toll of the bell, and perhaps, the silent memory of a church at prayer. To get up at 7.30am in order to attend an 8.00am Sunday service in the local church during the winter months does seem a crazy thing to suggest, I know. Yet this is precisely what I do suggest! The church holds a unique atmosphere as we use minimal electric lighting to optimise maximum holiness! The light of candles, sacred words and vessels remind us of a world aching to be consecrated to the Lord through “being” and “prayer”. Nothing much is demanded of us, simply our presence, our little offering and a dim recollection of God. Even with that God can and does make a miracle – think of the loaves and the fishes! November is too precious a month to ignore. Evidently it is a month when increasing numbers of people suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Perhaps, important though the act of remembering is, too much dwelling on the past can and does have a detrimental effect on our lives… and… perhaps too much being caught up in the pressure and excitement of Christmas launches us into the future too soon. We need to wait for Grace that must not be demanded or grabbed for then it ceases to be Grace and we are made all the poorer. Grace works through the silence of “being” and “prayer” and maybe that is what November and all the winter months offer and call us to be in and through our daily lives. Our 8.00am church service takes place on the first Sunday of each month. With every blessing James

As in all Pantomimes the audience are a big part of the cast, so please come along and support your Village Panto and help “Sir Percy Breakneck” and his chums defeat the Evil “Citizen Chauvelin” from doing what Evil baddies do best, in this case, amongst other things, banning “Mayor Legrooms” Boules! Much to “Mimi Blancmanges Horror. www.thefroyleplayers.co.uk DECK THE HALL We shall be decorating the Village Hall Christmas Tree on Friday, December 1st, during The Meeting Place.

FROYLE LADIES GROUP We had a brief but successful A.G.M. The club is now in a better financial position due to the generosity of speakers this year and a 2nd successful Jumble Sale.

Could we assemble at the Village Hall at 7.15 for 7.30 & PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS. Enjoy! BJM

Once more, we shall be serving MULLED WINE, as well as our usual tea and coffee, for those who prefer it. This will be accompanied by mince pies, cakes and savouries. Music and Carol Singing are on the agenda and there will be our usual raffle. If you are not a regular helper or cake maker and feel you would like to contribute to The Meeting Place, we would be very grateful for either a small raffle prize, or a promise of mince pies, savouries etc. We hope you will find a few moments at this very busy time of year to pop in, along with friends or family, and share the happiness and friendship of a real village Christmas. Before this, on Friday, December 1st, we shall be decorating the Christmas Tree in the Village Hall - all helpers gratefully welcomed!!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO MEETING PLACE MUMS Money is so tight at The Meeting Place this year (we paid for all the Hall redecoration!) and as the numbers of children are rising, I would be grateful if you could help Santa with his presents. Perhaps you could ring me for more information, or catch me on Fridays. This really is important as I would hate any child to be disappointed on December 22nd. Annette Booth 22364

-3- FROYLE GARDENING CLUB Mr Peter Chivers was our November speaker showing us some interesting slides from shows and gardens from around the area. Our next meeting will be our A.G.M. on Friday 8th December at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. After the business side of the evening, tea, coffee and mince pies will be served and there will be a slide show of member’s photographs of our trip to Monet’s garden. Please do come and put forward your ideas for the future of the club. June Trim

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH Froyle is very lucky that Colin Gray, our local police contact, is very keen that ANYBODY noticing something suspicious should contact him directly on his mobile (07979076264). Perhaps for this reason the Neighbourhood Watch scheme has been pretty dormant over the last few years. It is important to keep the scheme going, if for no other reason that some insurance companies offer discounts where a scheme exists in the area! To keep going more local coordinators are needed, particularly from the Upper Froyle and Westburn Fields/Barnfield Close areas. If you are interested in becoming (or continuing to be) a local coordinator and so help keep this important village service, please contact Peter Bradley (520484) or John Thursfield (23294).

ST MARY’S TEXTILES Last month, we were delighted to receive a handsome cheque from The Mercers’ Company. This grant means that we can now send two of our much loved and much used vestments off to a professional textile conservator (before they completely fall to pieces!). The first item will be a fiddle-back shaped French Chasuble. Thought to be circa 1740-50, it is made of ivory silk and richly embroidered with gold and silver thread, wire and sequins. The next vestment is a Cope and it has been booked in for late 2007. Made in rose pink silk with gold thread brocade and gold lace, it is believed to be 18th Century and of Spanish origin. All the Textile Restoration Studio workshops have long waiting lists but we have received enormous help from Sarah Howard the Textile Conservator for Hampshire County Museum Services. Jean Norkett (22591)

-4- IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING FROYLE VILLAGE MAGAZINE Twenty eight years ago Annette was asked by the then Vicar if she would produce the Parish Magazine. She began with edition number 34, produced on a Banda machine, then moved on to a Roneo duplicator and, since 1993, the Magazine has been produced by a Desktop Publishing program. You are reading this in edition 317 and the time has come to hand over the reins to a new team as Annette & Chris will be ceasing publication of the Froyle Village Magazine with the March 2007 edition, which marks the end of the magazines year. Froyle Parish Council, who fund the magazine which, as you know, is delivered free to every household in Froyle, is looking for someone (or a group) to take over the job of producing this valuable village resource from March 1st 2007. If anyone wants to find out exactly what is involved in getting the existing magazine to ‘press’ please contact Annette (22364). If you think you would like to take on this very worthwhile task, please contact the Clerk of Froyle Parish Council, Philippa Cullen Stevenson (520102). We will keep you updated on the progress of this in the New Year, but if no-one is found to take this on, the March magazine will be the last. Annette & Chris Booth (for Froyle PC)

The Anchor, Lower Froyle Many of you will have noticed that “The Anchor” has changed hands. It has been bought by the same company that run “The Peat Spade” Inn at Longstock, just to the north of Stockbridge. A group of villagers, including representatives of the Parish Council, were invited to meet the new owners last month (November). Those of you who have internet access can visit the “Peat Spade” website at http://www.peatspadeinn.co.uk and there is also a link from the Froyle website at http://www.froyle.com/buslinks.htm. We also have received, thanks to David Snow, the following statement from the new owners:- The Anchor will be of a similar standard as The Peat Spade Inn. The work will not commence until after the New Year, as we want to get through Christmas here first. We are looking to be open approx March 2007. I hope that will not be too long a wait for you, but please do come and introduce yourselves at that time. Clair Saunders, The Peat Spade Inn Longstock, Stockbridge, Hampshire

-5- THE REFECTORY AT WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL A huge thank you to everyone who has helped this year especially the newcomers - 17 different Froyle ladies. A team of 8 - 10 ladies goes from Froyle to help in the restaurant at Winchester Cathedral three times a year. In 2007 the dates will be in January, May & October. It will be hard work, but fun - definitely different! I hope all the present helpers will continue but I would love to hear from anyone new - either for a 4 hour shift or all day! Anyone interested (not already on my list) contact Margaret Stanford (22139), and I can explain all! Just one stint a year would be a real help.

ADVANCE NOTICE LENT LUNCHES Ash Wednesday is 21st February 2007. So please will all soup makers start thinking up new recipes! All details in the February Village Magazine. Margaret Stanford.

-6- BONFIRE NIGHT THANKS The Village Hall Committee would like to take this opportunity of thanking EVERYONE who was in any way involved in ensuring that our Bonfire Night Celebrations went with a bang - and they certainly did that!

Thanks also to those of you who supported the evening financially. At a time when the Village Hall has just completed an expensive upgrade and re-furbishment, your donations were very welcome.

FROYLE VILLAGE HALL 2007 (and beyond) On Friday, October 20th, Ferris Cowper (Leader of East Hants District Council) , Mark Kemp-Gee (our Hampshire County Councillor) , Mick Wells (Chairman of Froyle Parish Council) and Pat Morris (Chairman of Froyle Village Hall Committee) unveiled plaques at a short ceremony to mark the official opening of the Village Hall extension. This project, which has taken four years to realise, provides an essential disabled toilet and a much more attractive entrance to the hall. The completion means that, at the Village Hall’s AGM in May 2007, four of the six elected members of the Village Hall Committee will not be standing for re-election. During the time the project has been running the Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Vice Chairman have been re-elected automatically to maintain continuity - in fact the rules of the Committee were waived in order to do this. It was always understood that, once work was completed, Pat Morris, Annette Booth, Sue Carr and Chris Booth would retire. Between us, we have clocked up some seventy years on the Village Hall Committee, so it is time to hand the reins over to a new team. The Committee has six elected members, plus representatives from the various village organisations who are users of the Hall. So, in May, we shall need four new additions to the Committee which will also have to select new officers for the posts of Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary - the Vice Chairman’s post is not essential. If those amongst you who would be interested in taking a role in the running of a facility described in our grant application as “The Hub of the Community” want to find out what is involved, they can contact the retiring Secretary, Annette Booth on 22364. Obviously, to achieve a smooth transition, it would be most helpful for potential Committee members to make themselves known early in the New Year. Pat Morris, Chairman, Froyle Village Hall Committee

-7- BENTLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL November 2006 The school is getting ready for its Christmas celebrations with both infants and lower juniors doing separate plays that will hopefully play to packed audiences. Children in Years 4, 5 and 6 have had the opportunity to visit Eggars for ICT and Drama lessons. Years 5/6 enjoyed a memorable afternoon watching a Theatre production of Sir Isaac Newton. 6-7pm has seen many of our keen footballers enjoying their Sports Hall facilities for 6 a-side football. The PTFA Bonfire was a great success with the weather being ideal. Hundreds of people attended and all the refreshments were sold out. The fireworks were the best ever and were paid for by Hamptons. The school also wish to thank the Parish Council for paying the insurance bill. The following Friday saw a very successful table top/craft fair organised by Deborah Robinson. Many children and parents were kind enough to send in contributions for ‘Love in a Box’ and more than 70 of these were sent from the school. Children in Need was another event thoroughly enjoyed by the children - both coming in mufti and various things organised by the children themselves. The school has been adopted by Alton Cricket Club for the Chance to Shine Scheme in the Summer Term. This will provide our youngsters with at least 3 hours of quality cricket coaching a week. Current Year 5 and 6 are enjoying basketball coaching from a qualified coach provided by EHDC. Our X-Country teams won both the boys and girls events at the recent Alton Competition held at Eggars. Indeed we had the winners of both individual events - Rosanna Stewart the girls and Alex Small the boys. The children and staff of Bentley School would like to wish all readers a Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2007.

Book Ideas for Christmas Books about Froyle from The Froyle Archive Don’t forget that we now have the millennium book “Froyle, 100 years of Memories” as an e-book on CD-ROM, and, in the process, it has gained the added bonus of becoming searchable. The price remains the same, at £9.99. We still have plenty of copies of our second book, “A Village School”, in hardback, at the same price - if you would like a copy of either (or both!), contact Annette Booth on 01420 22364 or at The Meeting Place on a Friday morning.

-8- Dear Residents of Froyle How is your Christmas preparation going? If you are like me, each year I have good intentions of getting everything ready well before time but the reality is that it never happens! Our popular Mansion House concert was held this year on Monday 6th November. This was a very special concert for us as this was the last major event that the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman David Brewer, would attend for his Lord Mayor’s Appeal. The evening’s concert brought down the curtain on a busy programme of 66 events in support of Treloar’s. They ranged from auctioning a rusty nail on e-bay to our attempt to break the world record for Pass the Parcel! The programme began with an introduction from ITN newscaster Alastair Stewart OBE and featured students from Treloar’s School and College, the famous Sylvia Young Theatre School and The Elastic Band, a very lively mini orchestra from the Royal College of Music. School’s Head Girl, Jessica, started the evenings entertainment by performing her poem “Extraordinary Autumn” followed by College student Jordan reading a poem that had been composed by a group of students at College. Finally, School Head Boy, Christian, presented the Lord Mayor with a gift as a thank you for all the hard work, over the last year, that he and the Lady Mayoress have put in on our behalf. Our thanks to everyone who helped make this a wonderful evening. Symbol of the month - “Animals?”

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year Chris Huffam If you should wish to contact me I can be reached at the Treloar Trust, telephone number 01420 526405 or e-mail [email protected] More Book Ideas for Christmas A Cookery Book to Inspire You ‘Aga Easy’ by my great friend Lucy Young has just been published and includes a recipe called Lower Froyle Ginger Pork! Lucy has worked for 16 years as assistant to Mary Berry and this is her second cookery book. The book does include conventional oven techniques and timings, so not just for Aga owners. The book costs £20 and would make a great Christmas present. Please call me if you would like to buy a personally signed copy of the book. Katrine, 01420 22121

-9- WANTED: COMMUNITY PLACEMENTS FOR STUDENT POLICE OFFICERS Would your organisation like to be involved in the training of your local police officers? Hampshire Constabulary is looking for community placements for student police officers throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP) is a student officer training programme, which produces externally accredited, competent and community focussed police officers at best value. Students spend five days with an organisation observing and taking part in activities involving the local community. The aim of the programme is to give student officers an understanding of other organisations, diverse communities and groups within their police area, thereby increasing trust and improving police performance. The concept of the community placement is to fully immerse the student officer within an organisation engaged with hard to reach and diverse members of the community. During the placement they will learn how the organisation works, and how the police service can work in partnership with the organisation and the communities it serves. The programme started in May and has proven very successful. The programme coordinators have received a number of great comments from both students and organisations. A worker at Devereux House, a residential home said “It was almost like losing a member of staff when he went and I hope he enjoyed his stay with us as much as we enjoyed having such a pleasant capable young man. It was a very refreshing experience.” A student police officer who completed their placement at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth said, “The knowledge I have gained will give me awareness in my role as a Police Officer that I will make use of whenever I am dealing directly with member of the public. I will be careful never to make assumptions about a situation or person based on how they at first appear. I have realized that people can change quite quickly based on one or two words in conversation.” You can decide how often you would like a student police officer to join your team and there is no cost to the host organisation. An assessment is carried out on the student officer to ensure that they will be placed somewhere that will benefit them. The assessment is based on the individuals personal interests, background and work experience and the aim is to put each student into a brand new environment. An officer at Vitalise, a respite facility for disabled people and their carers, who currently take part in the scheme said, “May the link between the trainee officers and ourselves continue for a long time, as I feel it is beneficial to all concerned.” For more details about the programme please contact The Community Engagement Co-ordinator on 023 8074 5081 or email [email protected]

-14- THE VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE Dear All,All,Dear This is just a short introduction to Ed’s Letter. It is simply to wish everybody in Froyle a very happy Christmas and New Year. Please hold the Holy Land in your thoughts and prayers at this time and all who work for peace and justice there. With all good wishes James “O Little Town of Bethlehem ….” I have recently spent ten extraordinary days with the Amos Trust * visiting Israel and the West Bank. We were privileged to have a Palestinian guide who enabled us to face up to some of the horrors of what is happening there. Going behind the scenes of the Land we once called Holy was a shocking experience. Nothing can prepare you for the nightmare of modern day Hebron, the resting place of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and others, names sacred to Muslims, Christians and Jews. There I experienced being attacked by Zionist extremists, I met families with loved ones in prison without trial, and children who have been tortured. Modern day Bethlehem has now been under siege for over five years. It is almost completely surrounded by the monstrous apartheid wall. The Israeli authorities are building what they call a security fence. But in reality it is a 700 kilometre, 9 metre high wall of concrete ugliness that eats its way through Palestinian communities. It divides them from their families, schools, hospitals and places of worship and work. Consequently there is malnutrition in Bethlehem. I stood in the Shepherd’s fields where the Angels announced peace and goodwill to all. But the apartheid wall has ripped its way through the olive groves even here. Near the birthplace of Jesus, I spent some time in a refugee camp talking with families and children. They showed me their front door keys, but they belonged to their original homes from one of the 400 villages destroyed in 1948. They long to return from exile. I thought of Jesus. I met families whose homes had been deemed “security threats” and had been destroyed during the night by Caterpillar D9s. Many of the fathers had been imprisoned because they had refused to pay the bill for the bulldozers. I thought of Jesus, with nowhere to lay his head. But we also visited one of the luxurious but illegal Settlements. It separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem. There are shopping malls, leisure centres, libraries and a museum celebrating “a history of tolerance”. (Although that particular museum is built on top of a Moslem cemetery). To visit the Land of the Holy One was a stunning, terrifying, beautiful, life-changing but traumatic experience. I took sides, but I took sides with those who work for peace, whatever faith they belong to. For me, Christmas will never be the same again and I will never be able to sing “O Little Town of Bethlehem” without remembering the generous, compassionate and extraordinary people I met there. Some were Jews, some were Moslems, and many were Christians who ask to be remembered to you. And we must remember them. And I ask you to pray for these “Living Stones” this Christmas, that ultimately goodness and laughter, peace and compassion, joyfulness and forgiveness will have the last word. Canon Ed Pruen, Chaplain for the Treloar Trust * www.amostrust.org
