VENTURES ABROAD

On the 27th July 2002, 22 members of the 3rd Bookham Polesden Venture Scout Unit travelled to Interlaken in Switzerland for the unit’s first European summer camp. We set up camp just outside Interlaken and on the shore of the Thunersee, one of the large lakes which gives Interlaken its name. The following day we travelled on the Jungfrau railway up to the Jungfraujoch; the highest station in Europe at 3454m. At the top, we saw the amazing ice palace; a cave carved out of a glacier and containing many fine ice sculptures. There was also the chance to go outside onto the snow, and witness the magnificent view of the summits of the great Jungfrau, Monch and Eiger mountains. Over the next two days, it was the ventures themselves who climbed a mountain. By starting in Kandersteg, home of the International Scout Centre, and arranging to spend the night in two mountain huts, we were able to take all of the first day going up and climbed 1700m to a height of 2837m (9308ft). Towards the end of the climb the walkers had to contend with not only the exhaustion of walking all day with 351b packs in very hot sunshine, but also the reduced amount of oxygen in the air at the high altitude. This meant that every few steps you needed to stop and take breath, so just walking a short distance took ages. Another day was spent on water; firstly pedaloes on the lake and then white water rafting down a mountain river, which was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of the camp.. We were there on Swiss National Day, which meant parades and fireworks in Interlaken in the evening. The last day was spent “moon walking”: high altitude trekking, caving and climbing amongst some amazing terrain. Very soft rock and years of weathering had left the landscape barren and cratered, making it look rather like the surface of the moon. An experienced guide showed us many features and it proved to be a very worthwhile experience. On the way home, we managed to spend some time looking around Zurich before flying back to Gatwick after a week which everyone agreed was a great adventure and thoroughly enjoyed.

This is achieved by Bulletin encouraging organisations with various interests, managing the Old Barn Hall, publishing Bookhams Bulletin four 7IST YEAR ISSUE 265 times a year and organising the annual Village Day and Village Week.

I have enjoyed editing the Bulletin, but I feel it is time to hand over to someone with new ideas. With rapidly advancing technology, a personal DECEMBER computer is now an essential requirement. With a high proportion of our contributors sending their articles by e-mail or on a floppy, the work of the Saturday 7th Royal Marsden editor has changed and has enabled him to detail the layout of the Bulletin, Children’s Cancer Unit Christmas including photographs and drawings. This in turn has allowed the printer Bazaar - Old Barn Hall - 10 - 12 to devote time to upgrading the layout with their graphical expertise, as m idday. evident in the past few years. Christine Leonard also feels that she would Tuesday 17th and Thursday like to retire. However, I am sure that Chris will contribute articles from 1 9 th Bookham Choral Society Carol time to time.

As I have said in the article ‘Editing the Bulletin’, Martin Warwick has volunteered to take over as editor, but has asked me to work with him for the next couple of editions. He has been helping me with this one and I am sure he will be introducing his own ideas before long. FEBRUARY 2003 Thank you for your support and encouragement over more than five years.

.: i..... i.... i...... i iq EDITING THE BULLETIN

In the last edition I wrote that I was looking for someone who would take over from me as editor. I had been warned that this could take a considerable time especially since editing now involves a substantial technical input. Martin Warwick, who has worked in the computer industry contacted me with a view to replace me, however he wants me to work with him for the next couple of publications, so please continue to send me your contributions for the December deadline. I have emphasized the importance of good cooperation with our printer. Surrey Litho saved the Bulletin by taking over the printing in 1971 and under Malcolm Jordan produced an elegant Bulletin in a new format. Although we have a business arrangement with the printer, I sometimes think that Surrey Litho treat the Bulletin as a ‘labour of love’. We have developed a technique whereby I give them a page by page layout prepared on my computer. They then upgrade this with their graphical expertise to what is now a much admired publication. Simon Jordan, who has now taken over from his father, was the first to prepare the melange of photographs taken on Village Day by Harold Hopkins. It took him five hours. It is now done in much less time but still requires patience and an artistic talent. Over the years that I have been editor the final layout has been done at various times by Simon, his sister Laura Butler, Brett Yarham and recently by a relative newcomer to the team, Sophie Stewart. In the last edition, Sophie prepared the Bulletin including the melange, which is quite outstanding. I hope you saw the colour production in the Old Barn Hall. Soon after I became editor, Malcolm Crow, the managing director of e-business-plus in the High Street, offered to put the Bulletin on the web. He set up a program on my computer so that as my server, I can send him ‘the Bulletin’ over the phone. (Replicate it). I have a security code so that no one can alter my contribution. Malcolm is a Bookham resident and does not charge for this service and there is no restriction on space. We are grateful for this valuable contribution to the BCA. Nigel Lewis-Baker, also a Bookham resident who works with Malcolm, has been a great help in perfecting the final lay-out, including scanning the photographs in colour. I have received e-mails from all over the world, mainly from ex-Bookham residents expressing appreciation of being able to keep in touch with Bookham. What of the future? It depends on you. We require at least 20 articles for each edition. I have tried to include a wide variety of interests related to Bookham, so please support our new editor. What would I most like to see? It is the Bulletin in colour as on the web. Technology is improving and costs are coming down. Maybe one day! Eric Lloyd Jones

VSO is an international development charity which works overseas to tackle disadvantage and help people realise their potential. Currently 2,000 people are sharing their skills and experience with local communities in some of the world’s poorest countries. VSO Mole Valley has been the local supporters group for 26 years.

The meetings held on the last Monday of the month from January through to May have been very well attended and in September we had another successful Autumn Show in the Old Barn Hall. 65 exhibitors put in a total of 357 entries ranging from Flowers &Vegetables to Handicraft & Home craft. A significant shift is that the number of entries in the vegetables classes was a record 100 and the combined total of vegetable entries for both the Autumn & Summer shows this year was 50% up on the best that has been achieved in recent times.

Tickets at £4 are available from John Cook (020 8397 3982) and open Tuesday evenings and Wednesday afternoons on the Mill Hill Lane ground. The Society welcomes prospective members. There is a Junior Section aged 12 and up to 18 years and Adult Section for those over 18 years. Contact John Cook on Tuesday evenings and most Sunday afternoons. Bookham residents will be familiar with the Surrey Society from their operations at Polesden Lacey Fair Day for many years and until the past couple of years at the Old Barn Hall on Village Day.
