Knowing we were having a Choir Master to talk to us we expected to have to sing solo in front of all our friends. No such thing! Lesley Banks (Choir master of the Cat's Whiskers of Upper Woolhampton) was a lovely, funny and wonderful lady. She told us the history of her career then took us through some breathing exercises. We then warmed up with some scales to “We are, we are, we are. we are, we are the WI”. She then formed us into groups of 4 or more and gave us some silly song to sing. We ended the evening singing the silly songs in the round. Stuart must have wondered what was happening as WI meetings are usually quiet, but there we were - raising the roof and singing our hearts out. What a wonderful meeting! We went home in good spirit. Our next meetings Tuesday 17 December – Our Christmas Party Tuesday 21 January – An evening with Rob Bone, a local magician If anyone would like to come along and join us for an evening of Christmas fare, carols and games do get in touch with Sheila Jay.

  • Mortimer Heritage Trail
    Mortimer Heritage Trail Walk 2: Mortimer Common 3km (2.25 miles) This second of two moderate walks identifying interesting properties and places covers Mortimer Common, the newer part of the village, with homes being built mainly after 1880. Until then it had grown gorse and birch but not much else, the gravel soil being useless for agriculture. The Enclosure Acts from earlier that century had put the Common into private ownership. Housebuilding started slowly with existing ‘squatter’ cottages in Longmoor, Groves Corner and Summerlug being joined by a few more. West End House and Briar Lea House were the only sizeable properties by 1840. After land sales in 1870-71, house building started in earnest from about 1880 including in Windmill Road, Victoria Road and King Street (named after Mr King the baker), the population growing rapidly from the early 1900s. We start at the Community Centre car park, marked (1) on the red route on page 4, in the Fairground. The Fairground, is designated as an open space amenity. Today this is where travelling fairs and circuses come and village events are held. In the past, it has been used for gymkhanas, which have attracted Royal participants. Earlier still cattle and horse fairs were held there with animals being driven along Welshman’s Road allegedly from Wales but more likely from the railway sidings at Padworth. The Horse and Groom pub opposite would have been the oldest pub in the village had it remained in its original 17th century half-timbered building. The present pub was built adjacent, the original becoming a butcher’s shop.

The Ridgeway is a National Trail that covers six highway authority areas. SW illustrated the physical scope of The Ridgeway - 87 miles long and covering six Highway Authority areas. Formally designated in 1972. From 2015 there has been a requirement by Natural England that all national trails should be managed by a partnership, so in 2015 a partnership was formed for The Ridgeway, of which JB is a member (representing the BHS and updating on the work of the LAF). The Ridgeway Partnership works with landowners and WBC to maintain the trail, with EC ensuring that an annual survey is carried out each year. SW works for the trail four days per week, supplemented by one volunteer who works one day a week on practical tasks, plus one further member of staff, again one day per week, who deals with public enquiries.

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