Whereas late August/early September brought an autumnal feel, the rest of September was generally very pleasant. Now that we are in the Autumn, let’s see what the weather will bring! We are pleased to be able to thank two volunteers who have come forward to help deliver the Parish News – Melissa is covering Church Lane, Drayton Lane and Drayton Close (she volunteered in time to deliver September’s issue) – and Jill will be taking Quaker Close and part of Old Forge Road. And thanks again to Averil and Sharon for their efforts over previous years. We hope you have been enjoying the new look of the Parish News since March – as well as the change of layout, the change in printing process has allowed better reproduction and has allowed the inclusion of photos. This move to a commercial printer has increased our costs, which when the subscriptions are collected in January will be increased to £5. We hope you will agree that this still represents excellent value.

Photo: by ‘Windsock’ Fenny Drayton School – More Information! Last month we wrote how a small bungalow on Old Forge Road used to be the village school. More information has come to our attention regarding its sale. Early in 1960, enquiries were being made into whether the then redundant school could be used by the villagers. Over the next few years, proposals were put forward for the villagers to purchase it to develop it as a village hall. The building was finally sold at auction on 23 March 1966 – the proceeds being used for ‘church educational purposes within the Diocese’. 3 Fenny Drayton Church Services 5 October Holy Communion 9.00am 12 October Benefice Service, Fenny Drayton 10.30am 19 October Harvest All Age Service 10.30am 26 October Morning Worship 9.00am Church Readings 5 October Isaiah 5, v1-7 Audrey Smith Phillipians 3, v4b-14 Janet Agar 19 October TBA Maureen Bonner 26 October Matthew 22, v15-22 Alan Wood Other Services in the Benefice Higham on the Hill 5 October Holy Communion 10.30am 12 October Benefice Service, Fenny Drayton 10.30am 19 October Ecumenical Harvest Service 10.30pm 26 October Songs of Praise 3.00pm Witherley 5 October Harvest All Age Service 10.30am 12 October Benefice Service, Fenny Drayton 10.30am 19 October Evening service 6.30pm 26 October Holy Communion 10.30am Stoke Golding 5 October Harvest All Age Service 10.30am 12 October Benefice Service, Fenny Drayton 10.30am 19 October Holy Communion 10.30am 26 October Morning Worship 10.30am Dadlington 5 October BCP Morning Prayer 9.00am 12 October Benefice Service, Fenny Drayton 10.30am 19 October BCP Holy Communion 9.00am 26 October BCP Holy Communion 9.00am St Michael & All Angels Church Management Committee (PCC) Janet Agar 01827 716035 Gina Hawthorne 01827 716159 Alan Baxter 02476 383438 Susan Kosniowski 01827 714628 Maureen Bonner 01827 715768 Michelle Nelson 01827 722182 Julia Collis 01827 713881 Audrey Smith 01827 717034 John Frisby 01827 715826 Pamela Wills 01827 720929 4 Church Matters from the Parishes of: Fenny Drayton, Witherley, Higham-on-the-Hill, Stoke Golding & Dadlington RECTOR: Rev’d Linda Blay (01455) 213988, [email protected] While Linda is on Sabbatical, you may contact our Curate, Hilary Surridge, 01455 233064, [email protected] October Musings Two of our six grandchildren have birthdays in October. One will be six and the other thirteen. When I was six my brother was born. Before that there had been just Mum and Dad and me – but then Richard arrived to change my family life. At thirteen I started going to a church youth club – Yardley Church 13 Club. (Teenagers hadn’t been invented back then,) The club had about 100 members. Church attendance was compulsory – so we swelled the evensong congregation nicely. This also changed my life. I found that I was unusual in that I enjoyed sermons. But through sermons or other triggers, five of my generation at Yardley Church were ordained. Do you have particular dates in October which act as entrances for thoughts and memories to come flooding into mind? Lord Scarbrough had his estate in one of my parishes – Maltby. It also had a pit! He wouldn’t have Harvest Festival until fairly late in October in order to wait for the potato harvest – ‘don’t count your spuds before they are dug up!’ 5 What a multitude of birthdays, anniversaries (happy and sad), harvest festivals, saints days (Luke, Ignatius, Teresa of Avila - to name a few) arrive with October. And breathing through family relations, church friendships, worship surrounded by the saints and the digging up of spuds is God’s Spirit. There is a sense of ‘holding together’ and inspiration which is Spirit-filled. Led by God, October takes us from St.Michael and All Angels at the end of September right up to All Saints at the beginning of November. May you travel happily with Him. Alan Davis (Very retired archdeacon) HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICE 10.30am on Sunday 19th October Everyone is welcome to come along for this traditional service to celebrate a successful harvest in our Parish! THE FENN LANES GROUP OF CHURCHES In Loving Memory A Service to commemorate loved ones who have died. Sunday 2rd November 4.00pm at St Peters’ Church, Higham on the Hill A special service for all who have suffered a bereavement during recent years. Please mention this to any members of your family or your friends who might like to attend. The service will include a reading of the names of all those who have died in the 5 parishes in the last 2 years, plus others as requested. Refreshments will be served6 after the service. The Fenn’s Folk Meet again on Thursday, 30th October in Fenny Drayton Church at 7.30pm Our speaker will be Liz Blood, the Leicestershire War Memorials Officer Everyone is invited to come along for this interesting and appropriate talk in this Anniversary year for the start of WW1. So please come along if you can - we always meet on the last Thursday of the month, from 7.30pm in Church - where we enjoy a glass of wine with those famous 'themed nibbles', an interesting speaker, and a good chat. Friday With Friends After joining with friends (new & old) again in September, we continue in October on Friday 10th. Please note this is later in the month than usual because there will be another musical 'gig' in church on the 3rd, which you would be most welcome to attend Please join us; everyone is welcome - just bring your own drink and glass. The church will be open from 7 - 10pm and you can stay as long, or as briefly, as you wish. Future dates: November 7th December 12th Please note October's; December's is also later because we will be setting up for the Christmas Fayre on Saturday 6th December. Community Coffee Mornings Should you wish to join us, we meet in the kitchen area of the Church from 10:30am-12:30. ALL ARE MOST WELCOME The dates for October are: Thursdays 2nd, 16th and 30th 7 Fenn Lanes Men’s Group Geoff Grewcock got the new season off to an excellent start with a talk about his work with the Nuneaton & Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary. What with bringing an 8 foot boa constrictor, a beautiful barn owl, and an enormous eagle owl, detailing all the wide variety of birds and animals that are brought into the sanctuary. Over the last 13 years, 34500 animals have been rescued through the sanctuary – many native species are able to be released back to the wild, but generally those born in captivity cannot, likewise non-native species. These are carefully rehomed, those remaining at the sanctuary being relatively small in number. We heard that Geoff and his volunteers rescue animals across Warwickshire and beyond – often being called out by police forces and Network Rail. Many of the rescues are due to cruelty or abandonment, although there are also the sad occurrences of owners dying, this necessitating the collection of their animals. Geoff’s talk was at times sobering to hear the way animals are treated, but at other times entertaining as he regaled us with tales about strange rescue requests and parrots that have degrees in profanity! For our next meeting Nuneaton movie makers will take the theme “Village Scenes.” October 21st, Witherley Parish Rooms Need a lift? Call Michael Tait on 713270 8 PARTY WITH ‘THE MEN IN BLACK’ Music of the 60s and 70s, Irish and many old favourites at FENNY DRAYTON CHURCH on FRIDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2014 from 7.30p.m.

Towards the end of this month (27 & 28th) we have the Village Flower Festival – an event not just for us in the village, so make sure you invite your friends too. As well as the flowers and other attractions (tea & cakes) there will be a Village Quiz. Last month we appealed for a new volunteer to deliver 23 magazines each month to Church Lane, Drayton Lane and Drayton Close (still needed!) – we also need a volunteer to deliver to Quaker Close and part of Old Forge Road.
