Upper Rissington Annual Fete—Third time lucky for the weather What a great day for a fete. The weather really helped us all get out there and have a wonderful time mixing with friends and neighbours, entertaining ourselves and being entertained. This is the third fete that the Social Committee has organised and it's a tribute to the community that it was so well supported. With a range of activities building year on year we can only look forward to the next one with a sense of anticipation.

“Thank you” Many thanks to those who helped in the first stage of development of the Jubilee Garden, especially: Steve Mcguiness, Liz Demzcyuka, David Harrison, Carole Farquasant, and young James of Bristol Road. Help is always needed with weeding! Also thanks to Kier, who are building the school, for the wood they provided for the (fantastic! – Ed ) Splat the Rat for the village fete, and to Martin Sayer for making it. 2 3 Behind the Road Names in Upper Rissington – Part 2 De Havilland Road De Havilland Aircraft Company Limited was a British aviation manufacturer established in late 1920 by Geoffrey de Havilland at Stag Lane Aerodrome Edgware on the outskirts of London. Operations were later moved to Hatfield in Hertfordshire. De Havilland Aircraft Company was responsible for the Moth biplane, which revolutionized general aviation in the 1920s, the 1930s Fox Moth, which was the first commercial transport aircraft able to operate without government subsidy, and the Comet, which was the first passenger jet to enter service, along with other innovative and important aircraft. In 1960 de Havilland became a member of the Hawker Siddeley group but lost its separate DH.83 Fox Moth identity in 1963.

Delfin Way The Aero L-29 Delfín (English: Dolphin) is a military jet trainer aircraft that became the standard jet trainer for the air forces of Warsaw Pact nations in the 1960s. It was Czechoslovakia's first locally designed and built jet aircraft. Production began in April 1963 and continued for 11 years, with 3,600 eventually built up till 1974. A dedicated, single-seat, aerobatic version was developed as the L-29A Akrobat. A Georgian Air Force Aero L-29 reconnaissance version with nose-mounted cameras was built as the L-29R.

Dowding Close Air Chief Marshal Hugh Caswall Tremenheere Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding GCB, GCVO, CMG (24 April 1882 – 15 February 1970) was a British officer in the . He was the commander of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, and is generally credited with playing a crucial role in Britain's defence, and hence the defeat of Hitler's plan to invade Britain. 4 Sir Hugh Dowding Eagle Drive There are many references to Eagle – is this the feathered bird or, within the aero world (the theme of other road names in our village), the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle? This is one of the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 aerial combat victories. It is an American twin-engine, all-weather, tactical fighter designed by McDonnell Douglas (now USAF F-15C during Operation Noble Boeing) to gain and maintain air superiority in Eagle patrol aerial combat. The design was selected by the in 1967 to meet the need for a dedicated air-superiority fighter. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. The USAF(E) were based here at RAF from 1981 to 1993, during which time it became the largest military contingency hospital in Europe.

M T S S D Y E N I F L E D C X K 5 Steph Holton shares her experiences … London Marathon 2014 : that was my goal for when I turned, dare I say it, 50! I wanted to enter on a ‘Good for Age’ basis, which I did by completing the Loch Arber marathon last spring in 3hrs 41mins 56 secs. Sunday April 13 th and there I was at the ‘Green Start’ queuing for the second time in a long snake- line for the toilet, with my friends, Claire, Liz and Niamh. There was a real buzz in the air, a mixture of nerves, apprehension and excitement! Everyone had the same goal and we stood united, sharing how we felt and wishing each other luck. An announcement was made that if we didn’t put our kit bags on the lorry in the next 10 minutes it would go to the finish line without them. Big dilemma: we were nearly at the front of the ‘Toilet Queue’ but still had our bags. We frantically stuffed our warmer clothes in the bags and rubbed in the last bit of suncream, then two of us dashed to the lorry while the other two saved our places in the queue – perfect! We made it to our starting zones with only a few minutes to spare. Niamh and I were together and the other two were in two other zones. Checking laces, socks, and energy gels, watches set: we were ready to go. There were hundreds of people standing around us, but this was nothing compared to the thousands of runners we were about to meet up with. The race started and everyone moved slowly forward to go over the start line with fingers poised on their stop watches. “Yes!” We were off … with only 26.2miles to go! The atmosphere around us was amazing. I don’t think there was one bit of the course that wasn’t lined with supporters, cheering us all on, some giving out orange slices and Jelly babies too. In places the crowds were 5 or 6 deep. To add to this, live music echoed out from steel bands, drummers and even a small orchestra! Niamh and I were planning to run each mile in 8 mins to give us a time of 3hrs 30mins, or as close to this as possible. Early on we decided this was going to be pretty difficult due to the number of runners, especially when the other start areas merged into our lane. We just couldn’t get through. In the first 2 miles alone we were 1 min 15 secs down, but we weren’t fazed by this. We just hoped at some point the crowd would disperse enough to pick the pace up. It was great running with Niamh as we were able to chat a bit and keep each other going. It was a hot day so we needed a drink from each water station, but by working as a team we even had that down to a fine art. The race was going well until just under half way, when I tripped up a kerb and completely flattened one of those thin traffic bollards. In the process I grazed my shoulder, both legs and my arm. My first thought was, ‘Oh no I’ve ruined everything!’ So I scrambled up and started running again, with Niamh by my side asking if I was ok. With this, the crowd gave an extra loud cheer and there was me, hoping no-one had noticed! I was more concerned that I had banged my head and didn’t notice I was bleeding. The funny thing was that after the race Niamh said, ‘I didn’t say anything at the time as I didn’t want to worry you but you did look a bit of state!’ At mile 13/14 there is a part where you run down one side of the road and runners come up the other. We were running along taking it all in when the cheering increased and the sea of runners in 6 front of us started waving their arms, cheering and shouting too. Then we realised they could see the front runners of the Elite Men. There was a crescendo of noise coming towards us. The crowds and runners erupted. It was Mo! He was totally zoned into his race but we were all ecstatic at seeing him. Miles 23 to 25, getting excited as we neared the finish, we increased our pace, so the last 1.2 miles were pretty hard. The final run up The Mall was now in view and we somehow managed to overtake a few people. The crowds were still cheering and with that, we held hands, shouting words of encouragement to each other, and ran over the finish line together in 3hrs 41mins 20secs. Not a massive PB (personal best) but it was a bit closer to my ultimate 3:30 goal. Despite being slightly dehydrated, absolutely shattered and stiff, we were on a complete high. London was one of those ‘never to be forgotten’ memories. I relived the race in my mind for days after – it was simply … amazing! Since the marathon, several people have said to me, ‘I couldn’t do that. I can’t even run a mile’. What I say to them is, ‘At one time nor could I, but you CAN do it, as long as you are sensible and train for it.’ So if you’re reading this and you are tempted to run a marathon I would encourage you to DO IT! And if you are going to do one, DO LONDON!

Improved bus service for Upper Rissington At a meeting in the Village Hall on 31st July, Mr Barrett, manager of passenger transport for County Council (GCC), came to meet Upper Rissington residents, to get their feedback on the proposed new timetable for the 802 bus service and answer questions and concerns. Nigel Moore, Gloucestershire county councillor, parish councillors including Edward Timms (chair), the parish clerk, and about 10 residents of Upper Rissington were also present. The goal of the revised 802 bus service is to make Upper Rissington more sustainable in terms of public transport. GCC Passenger Transport Department has held discussions with the Upper Rissington developers about the revised bus service as the developers are contracted to support bus services to Upper Rissington for a 5-year period. The 802 will connect with commuter trains from Kingham station to Oxford and London. It will also provide a regular service to Stow-on-the-Wold and an altered service to Bourton-on-the-Water. The current service is struggling to be sustainable as there are only 145 passenger journeys per week. GCC has been subsidising this bus service to the tune of £12 per passenger return journey. Mr Barrett answered lots of questions and took note of concerns and requests for the new 802 service. He emphasised that it is vital for the 802 to be integrated and used by residents of surrounding towns and villages like Stow as well as by visitors to the area for it to be sustainable in the long term. Caroline Maclean (parish councillor) 7 8 9 The View From Here: Meet the new vicar in town … Largely due to the new development there are lots of people moving to Upper Rissington at the moment. This is great for the village and hopefully new residents feel welcomed and able to get involved in all the different things going on. One couple who have recently moved here are Christopher and Diane Etherton. I caught up with them (along with Poppy the dog) recently to find out a bit more about them and why they have moved to Upper Rissington. Firstly, welcome to Upper Rissington. Could you tell me a bit about your background and where you have moved from please? We’ve just moved from the Isle of Wight, and before that were in Birmingham which is where we met. We have three grown up children, Geoff, Ruth and Tom. We’ve done a few different things over time, including work in speech therapy, primary schools, NHS management consultancy, county councils, and B&B, which is why we first moved to the Isle of Wight. What kind of things do you guys tend to get up to in your spare time then? We enjoy quite a few different things. As mentioned we have three children so we spend quite a bit of time visiting them. Aside from that we enjoy gardening, dog walking, DIY, cricket and researching our family trees, which we find fascinating! So how did you end up as an ordained priest in the Church of then? Well that’s quite a long story so I’ll try to give you the condensed version! We have both been involved in church life for most of our lives. In 1989 it started to feel like ordination might be something that I (Christopher) was meant to explore a bit more, with different people encouraging me that it might be something I was meant to do. To cut a long story short, I was actually turned down for the training initially (this was before we were doing the B&B). However, again in 2004 it felt like the time was right to give it another go. This time the Church of England said yes and I was ordained as a priest in 2007 after completing a three-year, supposedly part-time training course. I then completed a Curacy before serving as a Priest in charge of two parishes for three years in the Isle of Wight. So how come you have ended up in Upper Rissington then and what actually is your job? There were a few reasons why we made the jump back to the mainland. The job I was doing was set up as a temporary one to enable us to reorganise local clergy and this post in the Rissingtons came up, so timing-wise it worked pretty well. Also, all of our children live in England so it’s more convenient for seeing them if we are nearer. The actual job is Associate Priest in the local Anglican patch which includes Burton, Clapton and all the Rissingtons. I’ll be working as part of a team with Rachel Rosborough, but will have special responsibility for the Rissingtons. So what sort of stuff will you be getting up to in Upper Rissington with your job then? A lot of what I hope to do in Upper Rissington will revolve around getting a flavour of what is already going on and looking to support this in whatever ways we can. Sundays tend to be pretty 10 busy but whenever I am not at one of the other Rissington churches it will be good to get involved with CUR:ve at the village hall and what is going on there. Also there is potential to work a bit more with CUR:ve in setting up some kind of arts/crafts/creative group which is something Diane would love to be part of. And finally, how have you found Upper Rissington so far? It’s been brilliant to be honest. Everyone has made us feel extremely welcome and it’s so nice to be surrounded by such friendly and caring people. Once we have sold our house in the Isle of Wight and got all our stuff moved down here it will be much easier to get more settled and start to explore some of the local area as well. (Interview by Rob French) YouthYouth NewsNews Over the last couple of months we have been making the most of the nice weather on Wednesday nights and have enjoyed plenty of games and sports outside. This has been a welcome distraction from school as for many of the young people in Upper Rissington it has been exam season. However this has now finished and a blissful six week long summer holiday now begins. The joy of being young! Over the summer holiday youth club will take a break before re-grouping in September as the new term begins at school. Before we broke up we had an end of year BBQ which was a great way of ending the year together. There was also the opportunity to do some fund raising ready for next year. Some of the young people from the youth club were able to co-ordinate the car-parking at the Cotswold School on one Sunday recently. Thanks to the sunny weather the tourists were out in force which meant we were kept busy par king the cars all day and were able to raise over £300 for youth club which will go towards activities and equipment next year. A massive thanks to all the young people who helped out with this. When youth club recommences in September we’ll be in need of some more adult leaders to help out running the club. Long standing volunteer Claire Tyler is finally calling it a day after doing so much for the youth club for so many years. A well- earned break is definitely deserved but you will be missed by everyone at youth club. If you feel that you could give up some time to help out on Wednesday nights we would love to hear from you. For more info please contact: Rob French ([email protected]) or Zoe Branch: ([email protected]) 11 Is it too much or too little rain that causes us most anguish as gardeners? The summer weather is rarely acceptable to most people. Throughout the winter and spring we look forward to the long summer days – and then complain whatever the weather! We seem to be having a good summer so far, and in the garden things are productive. However, there is always a downside and, much as we love the sunshine, it does mean that if we want our garden to keep growing, we need to water it. In most regions, drought (which, in the garden, is simply a period without rain for about two weeks) may be expected at least once a year. The main problem this causes our plants is the lack of adequate moisture in the soil. This is particularly true in areas like Rissy, where shallow soil adds to our gardening difficulties (as I discussed under Lawn Maintenance in the Spring issue of ‘The Breeze’). Shallow soil dries out more quickly and, if it is also free-draining, it can be difficult to keep moisture in the ground. Improving your soil by incorporating composts, manures, or other forms of organic materials can avert some of the potential damage from drought. Regular mulching early in the year, while the soil is still moist, can also provide a lot of benefit. A mulch doesn’t improve the moisture content of the soil but it does help keep the moisture in if the soil is already damp. For sandy soil in particular, adding any organic material will greatly improve the moisture-holding ability and therefore the nutritional content of the soil. Autumn jobs As a gardener, I have lived in many areas of Britain, from the Scottish Highlands with their mainly peat soils, to London and its heavy clay, and I have to say that the soil in Upper Rissington is probably the most work-intensive. But it can be improved – with a little work and plenty of patience! It is important to prepare the soil in advance of planting, and autumn is the time when gardeners should be at their busiest preparing for the following year of production. An annual top-up of both organic matter dug into the soil and a mulch of well-rotted manure or leaf-mould laid on the top will greatly increase the moisture-holding ability of your soil and the ability of plants to take up the water when needed. Taking care of the soil in allotment gardens benefits the yield greatly: you feed the soil, and it feeds you. Lawns As the grass growth slows down and light levels decrease, moss growth begins to increase. To avoid this, the first job is to kill the moss with lawn sand and then scarify, which removes the moss and that left over from grass cuttings over the summer. Aerating should also be done now, to help drainage and improve grass growth by increasing oxygen supply to the roots. It can be done with a fork, or you can hire a machine that removes 12 plugs of soil from the lawn which can then be refilled with a mixture of compost and grit or sand. Allotments The allotment site is to be developed this year and hopefully will be handed over to a committee to run on behalf of the Parish Council (PC) in late Autumn. The committee will take on the day-to-day running of the allotment plots and will work with the PC in making decisions about the site. Hopefully it will also be involved in the initial plans and development. I know you are all keen to get growing and some people have been waiting a long time for the allotments to be available, but hopefully they are now in sight – so get that spade ready for digging! The PC has been told by Linden that there will be 21 plots, and that 7 of these would be offered to residents of the new housing, leaving 14 for the existing residents on the list, but hopefully the whole village will be able to start on even footings. Jubilee Garden The Jubilee Garden is developing well and residents are commenting on how much better the area looks. Please can I remind everyone that this is a community space, so it needs the community to help with weeding and litter picking. But if you do any weeding, please take the weeds away and put them in your green bins at home! We are hoping to get funding for further development in the future, but again need the community to come together with ideas for what is wanted, so let us have your comments!

Parish Plan Launch Arrangements As reported in the last edition the Parish Plan has been available for some time and a good number of our village priorities have already been delivered or are in the pipeline. So that everyone can see the detailed content of the plan we wanted to launch it both online and, for those who don't have access to the web, as a booklet. The growth in internet usage has been so great that we don't have an up-to-date figure, but at the time of the survey a great majority of residents had access. The Plan is a 36 page A4 document. To print it off for every household would be both costly and environmentally wasteful, when most of us would be happy to just browse it on the web. To make sure we only print copies that are needed please email us at [email protected] or phone 07592533596 and leave your name, address and telephone number and we'll get a copy to you. For those who want web access, the plan will be posted on the Parish Council website. If you want to talk with any of the team about the plan you are welcome to discuss it with local residents – Andrew Mitchell, Roger Whiteley, David Harrison, Rob French or Wayne Fisher. The plan also had the help of a number of others including Marylin Cox of GRCC and Margaret Flint. Remember to read through it, it's got some interesting facts about the village as well as the action plan we're working to. 13

MP CUTS FIRST TURF TO START NEW SCHOOL BUILD AT VICTORY FIELDS

Construction of a new school at award-winning housebuilder Linden Homes’ Victory Fields development was kick-started by the Cotswold MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown when he cut the very first turf. The stunning collection of properties is being delivered near the Gloucestershire village of Upper Rissington, next door to the former base of the world-famous air display team. As well as a village shop, community centre and pub, the popular neighbourhood will include a new sister campus to the Ofsted-rated “excellent” Primary School down the road. Work on the new school site is expected to be finished in the spring of 2015 ready for classrooms to accept their first pupils later that year in September. Geoffrey Clifton-Brown formally launched construction with a ceremonial cutting of the ground, joined by Linden Homes Thames Valley managing director Peter Carpinelli, technical director Peter Mason, and sales and marketing director, Steve Garton. Mr Clifton-Brown said: ““I was delighted to be able to cut the first turf of the new Upper Rissington Primary School. Not only will this be an excellent facility in its own right, in a stunning location, it will also end the need to have to travel further afield as parents and children living in Upper Rissington will now have a school on their doorstep. “During my visit I was able to see the rest of the development, which will provide high quality homes in addition to the school and a new village shop. The other bonus of this development is that all the existing houses in Upper Rissington now have a new water supply and a reliable sewerage system, so that all the problems that existed in the past should now be eliminated. “I look forward to seeing the results of this development when it is completed.” Peter Carpinelli added: “A new school is always a special moment for a family community like Victory Fields, so we were delighted that the headteacher, local MP and county councillor were all on hand to join us in cutting the first turf. “The event gave us the chance to update everyone on the progress we’re making on delivering high quality homes, jobs and investment to the area, and how Victory Fields is meeting the promise of flourishing into a friendly new neighbourhood.” Also there were headteacher Liz Bannister, Stow-on-the-Wold county councillor Nigel Moor, and Ben Ramsay, operations director from Kier, the construction company tasked by Linden Homes to build the school. Liz Bannister is the highly respected headteacher of the original Great Rissington Primary School. She will oversee activities across the two sites, which are less than two miles apart. Ben Ramsay from Kier said: “Victory Fields is in a beautiful location with superb homes and we’re very proud to have been chosen to provide a school that matches that quality.” 14 The Church in Upper Rissington: valuing everyone After the flurry of activity around Easter, the last few months have seen CUR:ve settling more into a routine – just a busy one! Sundays@CUR:ve have become a highlight of the week. Sunday Café continues its relaxed feel, while Sunday Café Active has merged for the moment into Sunday Café Plus and provides a slightly more structured time of worship, but with plenty of opportunities for craft activities, coffee (and other refreshments!), and chat (anything associated with CUR:ve has to begin with the letter ‘c’!). Numbers vary, but the atmosphere is always great, so feel free to drop in any time from 10.30 till midday on a Sunday. (The worship slot is from 11 till 11.30). Coffee@CUR:ve (10-12noon every Wednesday @ 7 Hawker Square. Everyone welcome!) found a new venue in Rob’s front garden – for one week, anyway! You never know quite what treats will be in store – Rose’s failed CUR:ve cookies proved very popular, as did her sugarless cake (great for the dieters among us!). CUR:veConnect has also had an encouraging few months, with quite a group of us now meeting to look at the Bible together. It may sound very serious, but there is always plenty of time for laughter, as well as a chance to share some deeper questions. So if you have any, or would like to know a bit more about what it means to follow Jesus, either contact Rob or email CUR:ve ([email protected]). Special events have included holiday activity clubs during May half term and the summer holiday. Everyone had a great time with the games and activities, and also had a chance to learn about some stories from the Bible. Despite rather short notice, the Plant Swap at the beginning of June featured an impressive array of plants, several of which are now in my greenhouse laden with tomatoes! It was good to see some different faces, so thanks to everyone who came along and supported us. We’ll try and let you know a bit earlier next year so you’ve more chance to divide up your plants!

RAF Commemorative Service Sundays@CUR:ve On Sunday 14th September at 3pm there will be Every Sunday 10.30-12.00 in the a service of commemoration at St Peter’s Church Village Hall Little Rissington, remembering those serving in 1st Sunday of the month: Sunday the RAF who have given their lives in service of Café – Chilled out opportunity for their country. We have 76 airmen’s graves at chatting, eating and drinking, with Little Rissington church, only 45 of which are from games and activities for children and the Second World War, so the service is young at heart appropriately wider than a WW2 event. Everyone is of course welcome, but especially the many All other Sundays: Sunday Café Plus who live in Upper Rissington who have had - time to chat, refreshments, activities service in, or association with, the RAF. There and a chance to worship God are refreshments in the village hall afterwards, together (refreshments and activities giving time and space for shared reminiscences. from 10.30, worship at 11.00) 15 Useful Contacts In Upper Rissington This is a list of people and organisations in Upper Rissington who provide goods or services in the village.
