We would like to thank Heather Bland for her sterling work over the years in editing and maintaining the Piddle Valley News & Views. We hope you will bear with us as we become more proficient in our new roles. As you will see, we are adopting a new format and a new style. While we recognise that change might take some adjusting to, the new size is intended to be less wasteful of paper so helping our environment. Over the coming months, we hope to evolve the publication further - welcoming new members to the PVNV team, expanding the content to be more inclusive of Valley activities, establishing contacts in each of the communities to regularly update the comings and goings throughout the villages, strengthening the contacts with groups, clubs, organisations and sportspeople. And finally, to achieve an online version which will enable a far wider audience to know about life in the Piddle Valley. We would welcome news from other amateur journalists, particularly in Piddlehinton, Piddletrenthide & White Lackington. So please, do let us know more about the activities throughout the Valley Dot Browning + Ros Charlton I Co Editors Contents Dates for your diary- News from the Vicarage -Services - News, comings & goings in the valley - General news & notices - Clubs, Groups, organisations - Sport Parish & District Council- School- www.piddlevalley .. - Surgeries Editorial Editor Dot Browning T 01300 348280 } E [email protected] Co Editor Ros Charlton T 01300 348063 } Advertising Vacant Distribution Linda Hoyle T 01300 348978 Copy deadline March I April issue 15th February 5pm, future copy dates 15th April.

Its name, being derived from a Greek word, reminds us that the origins of the feast are to be found in the eastern or 'Orthodox' Christian Churches. The eastern churches used the festival (originally based on the Jewish Feast of Lights) to celebrate not only the birth of Jesus but also the arrival of the wise men or Magi, the baptism of Jesus and his first miracle at Cana when he turned water to wine. When the western Church (effectively the Roman Catholic Church) came to adopt the festival, they already had a feast for celebrating the birth of Christ, namely the 25th December, and so the notion of the twelve days of Christmas arose - spanning the period from the 25th December to the 6th January. Exactly who were the mysterious visitors from the east has been a source of debate over the centuries. Their arrival is recorded only in Matthew's gospel where they are seen as astrologers who recognise that the birth of Jesus is of cosmic significance. Over time, the Magi came to be thought of by some as philosophers or priests disaf fected with the inadequacy of their own religion and drawn to the true God. Around the eighth century, they came to be seen as kings fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah that 'kings shall come to your dawning brightness'. They also acquired names: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, and their remains are reputed to be buried in Cologne cathedral which acquired them in the 12th century and so established itself as a pilgrimage destination. In some parts of central Europe, around the 6th January, one may see the symbol +C+B+IVI+ with two numbers before and two numbers after (for example, 20+C+B+M+ 11) written in chalk above the doorway of Christian homes. Not only are the letters the initials of the traditional names of the Magi, they also stand for the Latin phrase Christus mansionem benedicat (" May Christ bless the house"). The beginning and ending numbers are the year, 2011 in the example above. lVIay Christ bless our homes this Epiphany and throughout the coming year.
