I am just back from a fantastic experience in South Korea, and yes, I did step foot in North Korea, being very careful not to upset any of the armed guards at the border! The highlights of the trip were spending an afternoon at Gwangju Primary School where I sat in on an English lesson and was enthusiastically wel- comed by the children, also a visit to the largest Church in the world, witnessing a service with a congregation of around 6,000, quite a sight to behold! I am producing this issue of Rural Roundup battling with jet-lag so please forgive any mistakes which may occur. I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. This year I will be in sunnier climes. See you in February. Regards Ed.

Christmas is certainly a time for celebration and it is also a time for salvation, and a time for reconciliation. It's good news and it‟s absolutely free and it's there for everybody! For some odd reason, some believe that to be a Christian means being gloomy or miserable, and that Christians can‟t have fun or be happy or celebrate – well, it‟s just not true! God wants us to be happy and to celebrate and one very good reason to celebrate Christmas comes from Luke 2:10-11 when the angel announced, "I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." The good news of Christmas is the Gospel, and the message is about the greatest gift of all time. And the gift? That God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be amongst us and to bring great joy and salvation to all who welcome him. The purpose of Christmas is to share this gift and what a perfect opportunity! It's a holiday that focuses on the Saviour of the world. That is why I celebrate Christmas. I love Christmas. It‟s a wonderful time of the year, and it‟s a wonderful story to tell, but please do remember that the only reason that we celebrate Christmas is because we are celebrating the birth of a baby, God‟s son, in the town of Bethlehem some 2000 years ago. And this baby wasn‟t born in a palace or mansion, to come and lord it over everyone, but in a humble stable, where the cattle lived. And the first visitors? The shepherds. Not the high and mighty but the humble and lowly. So during this season‟s festivities, try and make time to remember and to give thanks to God for his very precious gift to us that costs absolutely nothing and truly put “Christ” back into Christmas. Finally, I would like to thank you all for your help and support during the past year and to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year. Yours in Christ Cathy HIRE ST JOHN’S (KINGSDOWN) VILLAGE HALL Registered Charity Number 302777 For all social occasions, parties, receptions & meetings.

The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, in the vicinity of cropmarks possibly dating to the later prehistoric or Roman periods. Other significant archaeological remains are also located in the surrounding landscape. The engineering works comprised the excavation of a foundation trench for a penstock, and the re-profiling of a length of drainage ditch. No archaeological features, deposits or artefact were revealed during the engineering works. Deep excavations were only carried out for the penstock foundation trench where only geological deposits were encountered. Any potential remains present in the vicinity of the drainage ditch were unlikely to be revealed due to the limited nature of the works in that area.

  • News, December 2020
    White Cliffs Ramblers – News, December 2020 2020 – THE YEAR OF… If twelve months ago someone had told me that we would be cancelling over five months’ worth of walks due to some unseen threat to our health I might have questioned their sanity. Yet as 2020 draws to a close, restrictions on our daily activities have become a fact of life. One thing that has not changed, are the benefits that walking brings to both our physical and emotional well-being. It is also evident that many of us have missed the social aspect of group walks. Therefore, it is to be hoped that the vaccines that are starting to become available enable us to enjoy the company of fellow walkers once again on the footpaths of Kent and beyond. So, on behalf of the White Cliffs Ramblers Committee we would wish you a peaceful Christmas and a healthy New Year. WCR COMMITTEE 2020 – 2021 At our AGM at the beginning of November, two long standing members of the Committee stood down from their respective roles. After almost thirty-two years, founding member Graham Smith relinquished his post as Press and Publicity Officer pending his move to Scotland. We wish Graham and Sarah every happiness in their new home. Graham has been replaced by Lee Pickup (pictured right), one of our walk leaders and a member of the Festival Committee. Also standing down as Group Treasurer was Margaret Milsted – Williamson, although she will continue to offer her experience to the Committee as a co-opted member. Taking over the responsibility of looking after the Group’s finances is John Shale (pictured left).
