TheGazette newspaper of Gamlingay, East Hatley and Hatley St. George Local Villagers Contribute to World Prematurity Day! Hannah Yeldham was asked in April by her manager at work at the Rosie Hospital Neonatal Unit in Cambridge, if she knew anyone who knew anything about ‘lighting a building purple’ to promote World Prematurity Day 2016 (WPD). Hannah contacted Simon Fisher, having seen his contribution to Night of Heritage Light www.nohl-sll.org( ) After a couple of emails a ‘WPD 2016 working party’ was formed, which consisted of Hannah, Simon and 2 colleagues at the Rosie Hospital. A few months on and the initial idea had grown and developed and we welcomed on board more ‘lighting people’ and communication teams from work. World Prematurity Day was 17th November 2016 and from an initial meeting we now have a photographic exhibition that Hannah masterminded, an invitation only reception, purple floodlighting of the WRVS atria at The Rosie Hospital, buildings lit purple around the County, several organisations in Cambridge on board, cakes and representatives from Bliss Charity attending the event. Social media and the local press are interested in raised awareness, which was fantastic! The event featured on Look East on the night of 17th November. ‘We even had a Paralympic 2016 gold medallist attending on the night’ says Hannah. ‘It was such a pleasure to give some time, effort and energy to the project’ says Simon Fisher. ‘I offer my thanks to the leadership team at Gamlingay Village College and the Friends of St Marys Church in Gamlingay for letting me light their buildings and help raise awareness of this really important issue.’ ‘In addition to the sites in Gamlingay, the Cambridge Corn Exchange and Cambridge based lighting manufacturer, Pulsar Lighting, will be purple for the night. Special thanks also to The Perse School in Cambridge, who also allowed us to use their buildings as a canvas on Monday 14th November’. ‘The event at The Rosie Hospital was an invitation only reception, where we invited children and adults, along with their families, that were born pre-term to come and celebrate World Prematurity Day’ Hannah continued. ‘We have commissioned a series of photographs which show the invited guest as a new born and as they are today. This will be on permanent display at The Rosie from 17th November. We have also gifted copies of each photo to the attendees photographed.

Some of you may be reading this before the New Year begins, and some of you perhaps afterwards. But whichever way round it is, for many of us it is a time to celebrate. As the clock chimes midnight, we may well raise our glasses and toast the New Year. You might hear church bells being rung or hear and see fireworks being set off. It is a time to celebrate as we look forward to all that a brand-new year has to offer. Of course, nobody celebrates the coming of a New Year with more style than those who live in Scotland as they celebrate Hogmanay.
The opportunity to make a new start in life often fills us with excitement, and why not? Sometimes the new start might be because we want to put behind us those things which are not good, but it might also be to consolidate those good things and to build on them.
New Year’s Day is exactly one week on from Christmas Day, when we welcomed the Christ child into our world. And in many ways that was a new start too. The Jews had been waiting for their Messiah and although many rejected him, for others this was what they had been waiting for.
In a play, one scene follows on from another. The scenery might change, the actors might change, but the play proceeds, usually, seamlessly. But in the Bible, that is not the case. The Old Testament ends with the book of Malachi and the New Testament begins with the book of Matthew, and the time scale is some 400 years. And in some bibles this gap is represented by a blank page.
When Christ came into our world, it was like a new start. Not perhaps a new year but a new era! He came for you and me, the ordinary people of life.
And in the bible St Paul makes that quite clear in his first letter to Timothy when he writes:
“The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
So have a great 2017. If the previous year was not too good for any reason, let’s hope that the new year is more successful. And if 2016 was good, then let’s hope that 2017 is even better.
A very happy New Year to you all! Chris Miller Licensed Lay Minister and Churchwarden

WOW… Goodbye 2016 and DIARY hello 2017. Is it me, or does it seem as though the years are flying by faster than Church Services ever before? Worship every Sunday Morning Anyway… Happy New Year! 10.45am (with J.A.M for children) The new year brings with it some very typical responses from many, if not all of us. This Communion is always celebrated on time is one to reflect on the year the first Sunday of each month passed, what went well, what went badly, what we want to forget and what we would like to Family Service th cherish, and maybe even recreate Sunday 29 January 2016 10.45am in this coming year. Additionally, this time is one to look to the year ahead. People all around us are setting their new years Weekday Meetings resolutions. These often include, but are not limited to, losing weight, learning a new hobby, Wednesday 7.30pm quitting a bad habit, and many, MANY more… The sad thing is though, statistics show that most of us who set a resolution never see it through. Those of us who do see it through, and as advertised don’t necessarily feel the satisfaction that was expected. For Children Sometimes, part of these resolutions is to go to church or to explore our spirituality. To start J.A.M. Every Sunday 10.45am seeking answers to some of the big questions that are on our hearts: Is there more to life than just this world? How did this world come to be what it is? What’s the purpose of life? (Apart from Family Service) If there is a God, what’s He about, where does that leave me? Why is there such suffering in the world? Why is my life this way? And so on… Don’t get me wrong, we don’t all have the “Messy Church” same questions, and for some of us the questions are bigger, or smaller, or more personal, Saturday 28th January 2-4pm but, we do all have questions.
The thing is, often when we get these questions, we don’t explore them, or don’t know Women’s Prayer Brunch where to start, or simply feel embarrassed to talk about it with others for fear of judgment. Saturday 21th January 2016 at 10.00am The simple fact is that, simply reading those questions, you have probably already created a time to share, pray and eat together. a thought about me based on what you assume my answers may be, from my role, or what you know of me. Craft Group It’s tough… I know… But I want to encourage you to use this new beginning of the year, as No meeting this month an initiative to do just that, explore. Coffee Morning “Live Life Now’ is a motto that is very dear to me. It does not mean, as many may initially think, to go ‘party it up,’ however, refers to the simple notion that I can’t change what has In aid of Gamlingay BC and 2017 already passed, and I don’t know what is coming, so I have to focus on today, this moment. Charities With that being said, I feel that exploring these big things on our hearts and minds should Thursday 19th January 10.am-11.30am be something that we make space for today… Because, the past is gone, and the future may why not join us for tea/coffee and a not come, so why not seek answers now. As a Christian, I believe that God wants to answer many of our questions now too. cake?
There’s a verse in the book of John, where Jesus uses the metaphor of a Good Shepherd to help people understand Him, and his role for His people. Among this passage we read, in John 10:10, ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.’ Jesus says that He came, that we may have life in abundance. Then, we have another big question, what is life with abundance. Can I invite you to come explore that with us, along with your own questions? I can’t promise concrete answers, but I can promise, that we can journey together in exploring these things.
Maybe all that’s too much for you, and you’d rather simply have a cup of tea (or coffee in my case) and chat about the weather. Well, I’d be happy to do that with you too, so do get in touch. Whatever you do, Live Life Now. Many blessings Rev Adrian Semeren Lead Pastor Gamlingay Baptist Church [email protected]

14 The Gazette January 2017 Gardening Tips for January by Karen Aitkins of All Green Landscapes Ltd
January is usually the coldest time of year but it is also when the days will start to become a little longer. It may seem like there isn’t much to do in the garden and if the weather is especially harsh then admiring it from indoors may be the only way. A blanket of snow not only looks pretty but can offer the garden protection from pests and frost damage. Heavy snow can however damage tender plants so be vigilant. Strong winds are also common in January so make sure all young shrubs and trees are well staked out.
If the ground is not too frozen at the moment and you fancy working off all that Christmas excess, get outside and dig over the borders and spread in the compost or manure in time for planting in the spring.
It is still possible to do some pruning, especially climbers like wisteria. Pruning now will encourage a beautiful show of colour in late spring. It is the last chance to cut back grape vines before the sap starts to rise. This is also a good time to prune trees to shape as it is easier without the leaves.
Weeds can still be a problem at this time of year if the weather has been mild especially with chickweed so make sure you keep on top of any necessary weeding. Try to get the roots to prevent them coming back.
Make sure the birds have plenty of food and clean water. I know our birds love the fat balls you can buy in the garden centres.
Deciduous hedging such as beech and hawthorn can be planted now if the weather permits. Well-rotted manure worked into the soil will give plants the best start.
Don’t forget to keep protecting pot plants from severe frost with either hessian sacking or bubble wrap is quite effective. If you have room in your shed then bring them in for the worst of the winter.
Try and stay off the lawn if it is frozen otherwise it will cause the grass to die and you will end up with yellow patches. Improve drainage with a fork. Push the fork in about six inches, wiggle it about to open up the holes and do this in six inch intervals over waterlogged patches. Sprinkle in a sand and soil mixture and work in with a broom. This will hopefully prevent waterlogging in the future. Lawns can still be laid at this time of year as long as the ground is not frozen.
This is a slow time for most landscapers and gardeners so now is a good time to schedule in a makeover for your garden.
TheGazette January 2017 15 REMEMBRANCE DAY, 2016
Here we present edited highlights from a speech made by Phil Loudon at Gamlingay’s Remembrance Day service, held at the Baptist Church on Sunday, 13 November, after a ceremony at the war memorial, now sited in the new St Mary’s Field cemetery:
‘I remember a programme on TV last year about war. It showed a young girl looking at some pictures of her grandfather, taken during the Second World War. He’s in uniform, smiling, with comrades, some of them sporting funny little moustaches, in South Africa, the Middle East, and Italy. He’s 21 or 22 years old. The pictures showed these young men laughing and joking, having fun. Well, her Grandfather survived the War; but we should remember that many of those who went to war were even younger. They were boys, young men, sent into battle by their country and its leaders. Some of them may have been those who joined up with great excitement and enthusiasm to experience a great adventure. Some of them may have been called up when their turn came, and been terrified. We’ve learned a bit about how terrible conditions were in the trenches of the Western Front, and the terror and seeming hopelessness of going ‘over the top’. Yet they did their duty.
Poelcapelle is in Belgium in the province of West Flanders. In a corner of Poelcapelle cemetery is a grave standing out from the 6,544 other headstones for British soldiers who died near here in the First World War. Most of the long rows of upright marble slabs that divide the perfectly manicured lawn are unadorned but this one – on Row F, Plot 56 - is surrounded by small wooden crosses decorated by poppies.
The crosses have been placed recently by British schoolchildren of the same age as the boy buried here just over a century ago – Private 6322 John Condon, aged 14.
Pte Condon, one of thousands of lads who lied about his age to fight for his country, is recorded as the youngest soldier to die in the war. He was killed in the Second Battle of Ypres, less than 10 miles away, when German troops used poisonous chlorine gas for the first time. The trench he laid slumped in to escape from the artillery and grenade onslaught of the advancing enemy was drowned by a cloud of the yellow gas, tearing at the youngster’s lungs and scorching his eyes.
Indistinguishable from the thousand men who died on May 24, 1915 in one of the worst massacres of the war, John’s age only emerged later. Today his grave is the most visited on the Western Front. It is believed that only the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Westminster Abbey receives more visitors. The boy soldier had claimed he was 18 when he enlisted in his home town of Waterford, Ireland, two years before.
He was really a 12-year-old, too young to shave.
16 The Gazette January 2017 Such was the demand for soldiers that recruiting sergeants turned a blind eye to teenagers who were obviously far too young to fight. They would tell them to come back if they naively gave an honest answer when asked their age. In an era when most people didn’t have birth certificates, it was easy to lie about your age. And when the recruiting sergeants were being paid two shillings and sixpence (which today is almost £13) for every new recruit, they weren’t going to turn many away. If a boy was rejected from one regiment, he could simply try another one down the road. The minimum height for recruits was 5ft 3in, so tall teenagers would have no trouble volunteering to do their bit. It wasn’t until conscription was introduced in 1916 that the tide of underage soldiers heading to the Western Front was stopped. There are scores of military cemeteries dotting the countryside across the Flanders region. Nearly 60,000 British troops died in the Second Battle of Ypres over a two-month period.
Six months after arriving in France with the British Expeditionary Force, John Condon met his end. Some experts’ claim John was actually aged 18. But the Commonwealth War Graves Commission still believes he was 14.
In 2016 we commemorate the 100th anniversaries of two major battles of the First World War:
The Battle of Jutland took place between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet on the 31st May 1916 in the North Sea, off the mainland of Denmark. Although it was the only major naval battle of World War I, it became the largest sea battle in naval warfare history in terms of the numbers of battleships and battlecruisers engaged, bringing together the two most powerful naval forces in existence at that time. Action involving 250 ships and around 100,000 men.
And the second - fought between July and November 1916, the Battle of the Somme was one of the defining events of the First World War. It is often remembered for the huge losses on the first day (1 July 1916) but the Somme offensive continued over the following months - a total of 141 days - and men from every part of Britain and across the Empire took part. When it was halted in November, more than one million Commonwealth, French and German soldiers had been wounded, captured, or killed. Some 150,000 Commonwealth servicemen lie buried in 250 military and 150 civilian cemeteries on the Somme. Six memorials to the missing commemorate by name more than 100,000 whose graves are not known. Though historians and others still argue about the justice of various wars, we want to honour those young men and what they did; and all those who have fought and died in subsequent wars: Second World War, Korea, Northern Ireland, Falklands, Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. That willingness to do their duty, to serve their country, to face the danger, is still a thing to honour.
But let’s not be coy about this. We often talk about how they gave their lives, to cushion or conceal the truth. I don’t suppose any of them wanted to die. Their lives were taken from them, often by appalling violence and with appalling cruelty and pain. And that’s true also of all the other casualties of war, the civilians and the non-combatants, which is why we also remember them today: the names we read out stand for those many more thousands, millions of victims on all sides.
As we seek to do this, let me share some statistics to bring this up to date. Remembrance Sunday isn’t just about remembering what we call the Great War, but all the later and still current ones. According to Wikipedia’s list of ongoing armed conflicts, there are currently 16 armed conflicts causing 1000+ deaths per year, and 39 with fewer than 1000 deaths. Most of those don’t really involve us, perhaps, and some of them we will never have heard of – how many of us know where South Kordofan (Sudan) is - 1,500 people have died there so far this year, or Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenia/Azerbaijan) or Donbass (Ukraine).
But what about this? During the past half-century, Britain has fought more foreign wars than any other country. This Century British troops have been sent into battle five times in six years. And since the end of WW2, British troops have been killed in action every single year except one (1968). So commemoration is just as important as ever. And as we commemorate, we remember this further statistic: Of today’s ‘war dead’, only 1 in 10 is a soldier; 90% of the victims of war nowadays are civilians, and half of them are children. Isn’t this why war has to stop? Why we need to pray and work all the harder towards that end?
Of course, we like to think, or we hope and pray that all the actions our troops are involved in at this time are peace-keeping, or peace- making, operations. If our involvement in that war succeeds in helping make a country a safer, better place for its people, is that worth the cost in lives and material resources? If we could leave Afghanistan in a condition of true peace, in which people might be free from the power of religious fanatics who shoot teenage girls in the head for wanting to go to school? Who murder women teachers, because educated women present too great a threat to the men with the guns? It’s heart-breaking that this has proved to be an unwinnable war; that we have to walk away from it with no certainty that they will have that peace. Iraq is an even more tragic example, in which part of the delayed cost of getting rid of a (let’s admit it) particularly nasty tyrant, apart from the lives lost and the financial cost, is the threatened extinction of Christianity in many of those middle and near eastern countries. Iraq, Syria, Egypt – all used to have important and ancient Christian churches, even though they were minorities. But now those Christians are facing such persecution and attack that many are leaving or giving up. How much is the West’s willingness to go to war with those countries responsible for that outcome?
What all this recent history should encourage us to do is ask the question: Is there a better way? Is there a better way than war, or force of arms, to resolve international differences? Exponents of the just war theory say that war should only ever be a last resort. It seems to me that we have been too quick, in the last quarter-century, to resort to that last resort. It should be a last resort which, increasingly, we never go to. For the sake of those war dead, nearly half of them children. For the sake of the millions of other war victims who aren’t dead, just bereaved, forced to become displaced or stateless persons who have lost every material thing they ever had. Isn’t all that suffering far too high a price to pay for any victory, or more often no victory at all?

St Mary’s Cemetery Rules and Regulations The rules and regulations relating to memorials in the new cemetery have now been agreed. A short booklet giving details of these is available from the Parish Council office on request. The new cemetery is to be laid out in “military” style, most plots will be marked with simple headstones, laid out in neat rows, to retain the open aspect of the site and make it easier to maintain to a high standard. If a more elaborate memorial is desired, a plot can be purchased within the cemetery in a separate area, enclosed by a yew hedge. These plots will cost more to purchase. Remembrance Day Parade 2016 This year’s remembrance service was held around the war memorial in St Mary’s cemetery and was pleasingly well attended. The new setting worked extremely well, with everyone able to gather safely around the memorial for the service and no traffic disturbing the two minutes’ silence. Even the dogs attending wore their poppies with pride!

Events
During it’s history, the village of Gamlingay has been a very lively place. There are great photographic records keeping memories alive, as can be seen with some of the gems in Historyman this month.
The first photo shows Lord Butler at the opening of Gamlingay Village College. This is one of those I need to find out more about. I know the date but who is the lady with him and who was the Minister for Gamlingay at the time?
The second shows Miss N Phillips, who was President of the Womens Institute, cutting the cake at Gamlingay WI’s 32nd Birthday Party at the W I hall. But who are the others in the photo and who made the cake?
Number three shows the WI’s 34th Birthday Party but, again, still more names to find.
Number four is of a Gamlingay Players Rehearsal at the Village College. Mrs Baines is on the left but who are the rest, what Play were they rehearsing and what was the year?
Number five is a scene from “See How They Run” which was performed by “The Gleaners” of Waresley at Gamlingay, but who were The Gleaners, what was the year, where was it held in Gamlingay?
Over the next year, I will be showing more Event photos. I am hoping the people of Gamlingay can add to this already vast collection and help preserve it for many years to come.
How can you help? by sending me a copy (either electronically or as a photograph/photocopy to the usual Gazette contact details) and/or finding out about the history of some of the photos which currently have little information about them, ie dates, names, where the people are now etc. If you are unable to copy them and are happy to lone them to me, I can do this. I will publish as many as I can. Please confirm if you are happy for me to publish your Name as supplying information/ photographs. Thank you.

22 The Gazette January 2017 Roderick’s by Roderick Starksfield Vegetarian Recipes BEETROOT AND CARROT
The earthy sweet flavour of the beetroot combines well with the carrot, the textures also complimenting each other. Tamarind sauce is now readily available in most supermarkets, it is the essential ingredient in many sauces, and has a mildly hot, earthy yet sweet flavour. Excellent served with plain boiled rice, and a glass of red wine (optional!)
Recipe shown for one – easily double or quadruple
Ingredients Oil, enough to coat the vegetables 1 small to medium Red Onion 2 small Carrots 2 small Beetroot, cooked, but not in vinegar Good teaspoon Honey Glug of Tamarind Sauce (optional) Whole head of Garlic
Method Preheat the oven to 200C°, Fan 180C°, Gas mark 4, Aga roasting oven Peel the Onion (leave a bit of the root to hold the wedges together), and slice into wedges, probably about 6, depending on the size. Slice the carrots into chunky batons. Place these vegetables in a baking tray and toss in some oil to lightly cover. Sprinkle over the honey and the (optional) Tamarind Sauce. Cut the top off the garlic, about ¼ way down, to just expose the top of the cloves. Wrap the garlic in a piece of foil, add a little oil or butter to the garlic, close the foil and add to the baking tray. Place in the oven for about 25 minutes, until the carrots and onion are just starting to brown and crisp up at the edges. Cut the beetroot into bite size chunks, about ¾”/2cm cubes, remove the baking tray from the oven and add the beetroot, replace and cook for another 10 minutes. While this has been going on, boil the rice. Remove the tray from the oven, and carefully remove the garlic, place on a chopping board and using the flat of a knife, squeeze out the gooey garlic from their skins. This way of cooking garlic takes away the hot, oniony, pungent nature of the garlic. Gently stir the garlic pulp into the vegetables, try not to break up the vegetables. Serve on top of the rice, optionally with some Mango Chutney.
Gamlingay Scouts
On Saturday the 22nd of October I and three other scouts went on a district hike which was supposed to be 34 km, however it ended up being 45! And with a full load of kit including cooking equipment, tents and food it was very tough. Walking through the dark was scary and we were all tired, however we made it in the end and we cooked pasta with tomato sauce which was tasty. On the second day we had our fry up and had to pack up all our gear again. It was a great walk and we actually didn’t get lost. We eventually got our results and, we came 2nd by 300 points. It was a great experience just being left on your own to walk and feed yourselves. Being part of the scouts is a fun thing to do and you learn lots and go on great camps. I highly recommend joining scouts even if you are not keen on being out in the wild. By Nicholas Williams Gamlingay Scouts

Status Quo
my favourite live band for a good rock and roll night The early years
Status Quo was formed in 1962 under the name “The Scorpions” by Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster, along with classmates Alan Key (drums) and Jess Jaworski (keyboards). Rossi and Lancaster played their first gig at the Samuel Jones Sports Club in Dulwich, London. In 1963, Key was replaced by John Coghlan and the band changed it’s name to “The Spectres”. They began writing their own material and after a year met Rick Parfitt who was playing with a cabaret band called The Highlights. By the end of 1965, Rossi and Parfitt, who had become close friends, made a commitment to continue working together. On 18 July 1966, The Spectres signed a five-year deal with Piccadilly Records, releasing two singles that year, “I (Who Have Nothing)” and “Hurdy Gurdy Man” (written by Alan Lancaster), and one the next year called “(We Ain’t Got) Nothin’ Yet” (a song originally recorded by New York psychedelic band The Blues Magoos. All three singles failed to make an impact on the charts. Rick Parfitt joined the band in 1967.
By 1967, the group had discovered psychedelia and named themselves Traffic, but were soon forced to change it to “Traffic Jam” to avoid confusion with Steve Windwood of Traffic, following an argument over who had registered the name first.[] The band, with newly-joined organist Roy Lynes, secured an appearance on BBC Radio’s Saturday Club, but their next single, “Almost But Not Quite There”, underperformed.
In late 1967, the group were now officially calling themselves Status Quo, and in January 1968 released “Pictures of Matchstick Men”. Rick Parfitt was invited to join the band just as the song hit the UK Singles Charts, reaching number seven; “Matchstick Men” additionally became the group’s only Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. Though the follow-up was the unsuccessful single, “Black Veils of Melancholy”, they had a hit again the same year with a pop song penned by Marty Wilde, “Ice in the Sun “, which climbed to number eight. After the breakthrough, the band management hired Bob Young as a roadie and tour manager. Over the years Young became one of the most important songwriting partners for Status Quo, in addition to playing harmonica with them on stage and on record.
After their second album Spare Parts failed to impact commercially, the band abandoned psychedelia and Carnaby Street fashions in favour of a hard rock/ boogie sound, faded denims and T-shirts, an image which was to become their trademark throughout the 1970s. Lynes left the band in 1970 and was replaced in the studio by guests including keyboard player Jimmy Horowitz and Tom Parker. By 1976, ex-The Herd, Judas Jump and Peter Frampton Band member Andy Brown was brought in to cover keyboards although as he was contracted as a solo artist with EMI he was not credited as a full-time member until 1982.
Sales remained high in the UK throughout the 1980s, but tensions within the band saw founding member John Coghlan leaving the band late in 1981. His replacement was Pete Kircher from the 1960s band Honeybus. This line-up played its last full-length gig in 1984 although the band were contracted to record more albums. Status Quo’s final appearance with the Kircher line-up opened the Live Aid charity event at Wembley in July 1985.
In mid-1985, Rossi, Parfitt and Bown, along with Edwards and Rich, started work on a new Status Quo album. Lancaster, who by this time had more or less settled in Australia, took out a Injunction to stop the band from using the Status Quo name on any records, citing his increasing musical differences with the group, notably during the sessions for the 1983 album Back to Back. The specific dispute concerned two tracks which became hit singles for the group around that time. Lancaster had written the track “Ol’ Rag Blues”, but was angered when the producers chose to release a version with Rossi singing the lead vocal in preference to the one sung by himself. The injunction also prevented the release of a single, “Naughty Girl”, for which a catalogue number was issued by Vertigo.
This saw Lancaster leave the band and settle in Australia for good in favour of Edwards, though with a final twist in 2014 Rossi, Parfitt, Couglan and Lancaster played together again for a TV programme and a Gig.
Staus Quo The best live rock and roll band for me.
