Michael J Slade please contact the Churchwardens: Vicar, Chollerton with Birtley, Humshaugh: John McCollum (681682) or Gunnerton & Thockrington Roger Langford (681195) Tel: 01434 681721 Simonburn: Judith Brown (681371) or email: [email protected] Veronica Allgood (689533) www.chollerton-churches.org.uk Wark: Ann Bell (230259) or John Cooper (230367) For clergy matters, contact the Rural Dean: The Revd. Dr Susan Ramsaran (220019) www.humshaughbenefice.org.uk Chollerton Dear friends, Do you consider yourself a citizen of this country or a subject? I have always considered myself a subject. That is because I am a loyal subject of Her Majesty the Queen. I have not known any other monarch in my life because she has been Queen longer than I have been alive. On September 9th she will, God willing, have reigned over our nation longer than any other monarch, surpassing Queen Victoria’s 23,226 days. She plans to spend much of the day in the Borders, travelling from Edinburgh to Tweedbank near Galashiels on the new Borders Railway which I saw being constructed last year during a short break near there. It is the longest new line laid in the UK in over a century and many have made comparisons between this event with those which Queen Victoria attended during her reign. Apparently she is not going to make much of a fuss over becoming the longest serving monarch. Instead she wishes to spend time with her subjects celebrating achievements in the communities and among the people she loves and serves. -

County Councillor Report
COUNTY COUNCILLOR REPORT COUNTY COUNCILLOR WENDY PATTISON [email protected] – Tel. 07779 983072 Longhoughton Parish Joint Meeting with Longhoughton Ward Parish Chairmen - I have organised an informal meeting with all nine Chairmen of the Parish Councils which lie within the Longhoughton ward, and include, Ellingham, Edlingham, Eglingham, Rennington, Craster, Embleton, Longhoughton, Newton by the Sea and Powburn/Hedgeley. The date is September 1st 2017 at 6.30pm and will take place at the Thrunton Trout Fishery. One of the most important things we can do is to find out what we all have in common. When we share something with the people around us – no matter how small or insignificant it seems – it can help us make connections we never realised we could. I am extremely hopeful that the Chairman of Longhoughton Parish Council, Cllr Bryan Ellis, will be able to represent Longhoughton PC and join with the other 8 Parish Council Chairmen on 1st September.

The April Broadsheet 2018
The April Broadsheet 2018 for the parishes of Humshaugh with Simonburn & Wark, and Chollerton with Birtley Gunnerton & Thockrington Revd. Steve Wilkinson Rural Dean of Bellingham Parson of Humshaugh, Simonburn & Wark Tel: 01434 681304 email: [email protected] www.humshaughbenefice.org.uk Humshaugh Vicarage Friends, This last few weeks have been absorbed by the current proposals on changing education here in our valley and beyond, and I’m sure you’ll have seen the signs and posters up in Wark and Chollerton calling for people to help save our schools. Much of my time has been spent with politicians, local authority staff and the diocesan education team, and then going out to schools and speaking to parents, teachers and governors, to tell them how strongly the church supports keeping their school open. Out and about, talking to people as I walk through our villages or visit, the strength of feeling is incredible and the support in our communities for all our schools resolute. The Church of England has a huge stake in these proposals too, nationally the church runs about a quarter of first and primary schools, here in our villages all three are church ones, and under the current proposals the authority will close two of them. The wider implications of closing schools in small rural communities are well known and stark; families move out, doctor’s surgeries close, businesses, shops and post offices disappear and the pubs close. What is well understood, but being ignored here, is the disproportionate, wider social effect of closing just one, small rural school. -
