He was awarded the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals, and particularly the Cadet Forces Medal which had five bars for his length of service in the Corps. In the New Year’s Honours List 2013, David was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the Sea Cadet Corps during his long service, 57 years to be exact. He was very proud indeed of this award and pointed out that the Sea Cadet promise he took in 1956 said “I promise to serve my God, my Queen and the Empire.”, so the BEM was most appropriate.

When asked for the reason for this sudden new influx of work, the manageress Elizabeth hinted it could be due to the fact that the yellow pages adverts are now read by Guernsey residents with the combined telephone directory being effected last year.

In its early days our clock was mechanically wound and the Sexton would climb the tower to wind it weekly. However, there was a major overhaul in 1982 as the cables were broken and the clock had to be removed to allow for the bells to be re hung. Following that it was electrified and a new electric motor, drive cog and mini computer were installed about twenty years ago. While Martyn is a St Saviour resident he admits to also looking after clocks in other churches around the Island, including St Thomas', St Helier, St Peter, St John, St Mary, St Mark, St Lawrence, St Clement and . As all of these are now electrified he does not need to climb the towers as often as he once did. Now that he is approaching four score years Martyn feels he should train others to take over and he himself is beginning to be able to take a back seat. Here in St Saviour we are very fortunate that Deputy Kevin Lewis, also an enthusiastic engineer, has taken over care of our clock. Our clock is a chiming turret clock, imported from the UK, which uses Westminster Chimes to strike each quarter hour. The hour-bell was cast in 1875 by J. Summer2013 St Saviour Parish Magazine p11

If you drive in a northerly direction past the JEP and increase your speed at the de-restriction sign, there is a possibility that you will pass Les Routeurs without even noticing it. It is the narrow lane which exits from the dip in the aforementioned stretch of road and which connects Mont Sohier with St Martins Main Road.

The Tourism Department, from time to time, invite all the parishes to submit one nomination for the "Best Parish Lane" to which their team of judges visit and ultimately decide upon the winner. Les Routeurs as can be seen from the accompanying photographs is a beautiful part of St Saviour, and which in its fairly short length encompasses a well-kept road bounded by delightful and varied country views. La Cloche extends thanks and congratulations to the residents and others who maintain this competition winner for doing such a splendid job.

Grands Vaux School is where we left off the tour of the Parish boundary in the last edition. The culvert under the road is well marked at its exit almost adjacent to the post box on the opposite side of the road (Photo 1 ). 3

The watercourse meanders towards the small containing reservoir near the junction with Langley Park and as it does so it bisects the 4 former Nicholson Park complex in quite a random fashion. From the point in Photo 1, it traverses private property and exits onto Willow Grove leaving the first house in that cul-de-sac in St Helier and the remainder in St. Saviour ( Photo 2 ). Continuing south if observing on foot, there is a public right of way into the north extremity of Pillar Gardens and which enters onto the roadway approximately at the same point where the boundary is formed. Heading south and as one reaches the Grands Vaux Youth Centre which is perched on the slope to the left, turning around to look back, gives a view along the roadway Parish boundary of Pillar Gardens (Photo 3) where houses numbers 13 to 31 are in St Saviour, and the remainder, numbers 1 to 12 are in St Helier. The boundary then follows the rear of Nicholson Close, 6 where all 16 properties are in St Helier (Photo 4) and then leads into Whitley Close where only number 16 is in St Saviour. The boundary then cuts almost to the rear of Sutton Court but leaves just three of the 16 houses there,

As it exits Wilkes Gardens the boundary line cuts straight across the main road ( Photo 6 ) and continues along the eastern side 12 of the small holding reservoir on its approach to the supermarket (Photo 7 ). The line then passes through the supermarket, with flats above, The boundary then traverses private land and emerges onto St thus creating a split whereby two of the flats are in St Saviour and the Mark’s Road adjacent to the Glanville Home.

As they set off for another tour one of our pictures shows the convoy departing.

Images : Language skills were helped by swapping the names of animals St Saviour’s School at zoos in France and Jersey French partnership Twenty-seven St Saviour’s School pupils visited Villedieu in April as part of their Year 6 trip to France. The school has developed and maintained a partnership with the staff and pupils of L’Ecole Notre Dame over a number of years, through a pen pal scheme which facilitates communication between the children in the two countries.

After six months of writing to each other and developing their foreign language skills, the children met face to face for the first time at a reception in the Town Hall in Villedieu. Following brief speeches celebrating the Twinning of Villedieu with the Parish of St Saviour – in French and English – the children were presented with miniature bells as a memento of their visit; Villedieu is renowned for its bell foundry. Earlier, the children had the opportunity to handle French currency and practise their conversation skills whilst browsing the Villedieu market stalls, in order to purchase gifts and keepsakes of their trip. Some children were extremely adept at haggling and secured some incredible deals! After the reception, the children walked the short distance from After a paired activity to encourage communication and to allow the town centre to L’Ecole Notre Dame.

They also visited a Goat farm, the St Malo Aquarium, a hypermarket and the walled city. It was certainly an action-packed week! A month later, the Villedieu children came to Jersey for the return visit. The schools met at the Parish Hall for a reception provided by the St Saviour’s Twinning Association. The children were treated to drinks and, for some, their first taste of Jersey Wonders. The Connétable, Sadie Renard, gave a short speech of welcome and the Villedieu school principal expressed his thanks for the kind hospitality. The children were presented with a Twinning Association lapel badge as a memento of the day before walking the short distance up to St Saviour’s School.

In 2008 Nikki successfully produced, designed, cast and directed her first ever Musical "Next! So, you want the part?" And, after a bit of a break, has now completed the follow-on story of the lady that took that leading role. We get a look into Shirley, the theatre secretary's life in "What next? All my life, here, now". A unique first ever production of a new story with new original music composed by locally based musicians.. While we look into Shirley's rise to fame, we will experience audience participation, and yes, you have to vote once again for the outcome of the story and Shirley's life. So make a difference and be with us for this unique event. Jerseys Next! Productions Society, which Nikki founded in 2007, is donating proceeds from the Musical to Jersey Hospice Care and Jersey Multiple Sclerosis Society. There will also be bucket collections in aid of JSPCA, The Brig-y-Don Children's Trust and The Shelter. The cast can be seen on the web site www.nextthemusical.co.uk.

However, the range of electric vehicles is influenced by several factors, including speed, driving style, road conditions, use of electric accessories and external temperature. A more realistic range is about 93 miles in temperate conditions and 62 miles in extreme cold. †NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) is a standard European measurement of emissions and consumption based on rolling road tests. It uses the same standard for petrol and diesel engines as electric cars. It is an objective way of measuring the differences in performance between competing models. The car is tested on a rolling road, under the Urban cycle (ECE-15 cycle) four times and the Extra Urban cycle once. The average of these 5 cycles determines the NEDC range.
