Or maybe you’ll be expecting a bunch of flowers or chocolates. I Perhaps you’ll be enjoying a romantic dinner for two at the Merry Harriers. Or does the thought of Valentine’s Day fill you with a deep despondency as it brings to mind failed relationships or makes you all the more acutely aware of being alone? No one’s really sure about the origins of St Valentine’s Day; although I quite like the story that St Valentine was a priest in Rome in about 270AD, during a time of great persecution for the church. He was imprisoned for helping Christians escape this persecution and also for performing clandestine mar- riages for Christians and for Roman soldiers, for whom marriage was forbidden by Roman law at the time. In order to remind them of God’s love for them and to encourage them in their faith, Valentine is said to have cut hearts from parchment to give to the Christians and soldiers. Whilst in prison awaiting execution Valentine is reported to have healed the blind daughter of his jailer and on the evening before his execution he wrote to her, signing himself ‘Your Valentine’. Maybe it is just a story, but one part of it is true: God does love us. It strikes me that Valentine’s Day is a good day to remember that. He loves us regardless of what we look like. He loves us without a thought about how ‘successful’ or popular we are. He loves us in spite of what we have or haven’t done. He loves us when it feels as if no one else does. Whether you’re loved-up, lovelorn or just a plain old cynic without a romantic bone in your body, God loves you. But He didn’t send a card or chocolates, he sent his Son. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Catherine McBride, Associate Vicar, Hambledon and Busbridge P.S. Please do keep an eye out for friends and neighbours who may be struggling to get out and about in any cold weather such as we had in January, and who may need a helping hand. Keep warm and safe. What makes the perfect neighbour? The Bible tells us to love our neighbours. But that doesn’t mean we have to live in each other’s homes! So this year, how do you measure up as ‘the perfect neighbour’ to those who live near you? It seems that ‘the perfect neighbour’ stops to chat for no longer than four minutes, according to research carried out by the insurer More Than. If you borrow something, aim to return it (in good condi- tion) within a couple of weeks. Invite your neighbours around for a drink or meal about six times a year. If you need to ask for favours, that is fine, but keep it to only a couple a month. Mow your neighbour’s lawn, should the need arise. Take in any parcels. Feed their cats/rabbits/guinea pigs/fish and keep an eye on their home when they go on holiday. NEVER cut a tree, plant or shrub that is on their land, and which has grown over onto yours, without asking them first. ‘A Golden Rule sums it up well: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. “People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed...reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone...

  • Godalming Band Newsletter November, 2015
    GODALMING BAND NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER, 2015 Dear Readers, I hope you enjoy this issue of the Newsletter about the Bands’ activities. The Youth Band has had an especially active year, as seen below. You will find here information about engagements, achievements, and a comprehensive report on the Senior Band’s recent trip to Joigny, as presented by Dominic Cleal. David Daniels, Editor CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Welcome to our Autumn Newsletter. 2015 has been a very busy and different year, especially for the Senior Band. Much of the early part of the year was spent preparing for the regional qualifying contest of the national brass band championships in March and for the Mayor of Waverley’s massed bands charity concert at Charterhouse in April. In addition to our usual summer events including an outdoor concert at King Edward’s School, Witley, much of our time and effort went into preparing for the Senior Band’s visit to Joigny, France in October. This visit was at the invitation of the ‘Harmonie de Joigny’, the wind band of the music academy in our French twin town, to celebrate their 150th anniversary. Now as the festive season approaches our Bands are busy preparing for the numerous local engagements as well as the joint annual Christmas Concert on Saturday 19th December, 2015. Thank you for your continued interest and support. We hope to see you and your friends and family at the United Church in Godalming on the 19th. Ray Pont, Band Chairman 1 A WORD FROM DAVID LOFTUS, YOUTH BAND MD As I write for this newsletter we are rapidly heading towards another very busy Christmas set of engagements.

  • Thursley Welcome Pack
    Thursley Welcome Pack Thursley Welcome Pack 1.0 Introduction Welcome to our parish! This document is intended to provide you with a brief introduction to the history and the facilities available in our parish. 2.0 Thursley Parish Thursley has a comparatively small population (approx. 600) resident in one of the larger parishes (8 sq. miles) of the 21 in the Borough of Waverley, South West Surrey. The parish runs south from its border with Elstead Parish to the southern edge of the Devil’s Punch Bowl near Hindhead. Many years ago, the parish boundaries of Thursley extended as far as Haslemere, but now they are curtailed. They run around Thursley Common, including Warren Mere, and cut across to Bowlhead Green almost to Brook, then back past Boundless Farm to the Devil’s Punch Bowl. They then continue round the bowl to Pitch Place, down to Truxford and back on to the common again. Thursley Welcome Pack Thursley has a cricket green, a large recreation ground which allows parking and a play area upgraded in 2015 as a result of community funding. It attracts many visitors who come to see the village and the local commons via the extensive footpath and bridleway network. The Greensand Way runs through the parish. Bowlhead Green also has an attractive green, and is more agricultural in character than Thursley. Pitch Place has Hankley Common to the north, the orchards and fruit farms to the south and tracks that lead to Hindhead Common and beyond. In popular myth the name Thursley is of Scandinavian origin, meaning the “sacred grove of Thor”, the Norse god of thunder.

Paul Jameson, a friend of the school community, whose three children attended the school and one of whom now works at the school, provided inspiration for the challenge. Paul has been living with MND since 2017 and has dedicated his time to fund raising for the MND Association. One of his earliest fundraising missions was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and play a tennis match at the summit, for which he achieved a World Record for the highest altitude tennis match!

  • The Hammer Bottom Hike Supporting Notes
    THE HAMMER BOTTOM HIKE SUPPORTING NOTES 1 INTRODUCTION This document is merely a background to the places in and around our event. It is not designed to be taken with you on the day (there will be some Route Notes for that). It just attempts to provide some hopefully interesting insights into the places you will pass through and near. The order is for people doing the whole circular walk from Haslemere in an anticlockwise direction. The sections of the document are shown below, together with the distance covered from the start. I hope you enjoy it; you should learn a lot. I did !! It’s probably best to read it well before the event, to whet your appetite, encourage your money raising activities and galvanise your training regime. You can of course read it post-event to remind you of the day. However, I would not recommend using it on September 5th. 2 HASLEMERE - THE EARLY YEARS Mile 0 3 THE GREENSAND WAY 0 to 1.4 Miles 4 MISS JAMES 2.4 to 4.3 Miles 5 CONAN DOYLE 4.4 Miles 6 HINDHEAD 4.7 Miles 7 GIBBET HILL 5.3 miles 7 THE SAILOR’S STONE 5.0 Miles 7 THE CELTIC CROSS 5.3 Miles 7 THE DEVIL’s PUNCH BOWL 4.7 to 5.3 Miles 8 TEMPLE OF THE FOUR WINDS 5.6 miles 9 HIGHCOMBE HIKE 7.4 to 10.2 miles 10 WAGGONER’S WELLS 14.6 miles 11 THE CANADIANS AT BRAMSHOTT 15.6 miles 12 HAMMER BOTTOM 18.2 miles 13 THE SUSSEX BORDER PATH 19.4 miles 14 BLACKDOWN & THE NATIONAL TRUST 23 miles 14 TENNYSON 23 miles 15 HASLEMERE’s WELL 27 miles 2 HASLEMERE - THE EARLY YEARS – Mile 0 The history of the town is obviously a huge topic, even for a little place like Haslemere.

  • Godalming Band Newsletter 9Th October 2016
    Godalming Band Newsletter 9th October 2016 Chairman’s corner Hi everyone—I hope that you have all enjoyed a good relaxing summer, especially the great sunshine that we have enjoyed over the past few weeks. It is some time since we published our last newsletter and during this period both of our bands have been very busy with their various regular and also several new events. These events include the senior band’s first appearance at the Alresford Watercress Festival and undertaking a recording session for a CD. Also there was the amazingly successful Spring Godalming Festival for the Youth Band. More details about these events later in this newsletter As we return from the summer holidays refreshed and full of vigour our bands will be preparing for a very busy upcoming Autumn and Christmas periods. Full details of all of the engagements during this period are shown later in the newsletter. We hope that you will continue to support our bands in their endeavours and cordially invite you to join us at as many of the events as you can. Have you thought about spreading the news about our bands by inviting your friends and neighbours to come and listen to us. Happy reading – Ray Pont Christmas season 19/12/15 It’s been a while since our last Christmas season, but we had a particularly busy run-up with both Godalming Band and our Youth Band. We’ve been out and about in the local area, up and down the high street, to residential homes and churches to play carols and bring some Christmas spirit.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Dramatic hills, village, pub, woodland, small green meadows In Brief This walk takes you to the notorious Gibbet Hill, then down into the valley to visit some delightful isolated timbered cottages and several hamlets and small settlements, including Brook with its noteworthy pub. (For bookings, call 01428 682763.) ? There are a few places on this walk where the nettles have grown profusely so you may find bare legs uncomfortable, especially in late summer. The ground underfoot is fairly firm, with just one muddy stretch by Cosford Farm, so sensible walking shoes are acceptable if the weather is dry. There is a just one group of four stiles in one section, but this should not prevent your dog from coming along too. The walk begins at the National Bowlhead Trust Punch Bowl car park in Green Hindhead, Surrey, postcode GU26 6AB . There is a small Overview charge to non-NT members (as 2021: £4 for 4 hours or £6 all day.
