www.naphillandwaltersash.org.uk 21 Introducing Padre Chrissie Lacey

Hello! Thanks for turning the page to this article, or, for pausing your flicking through the pages to read this… and if you are still reading even bigger thanks! I’m new here so wanted to introduce myself, to you. I’m the new Chaplain (or Padre as I’m more commonly known) at RAF High Wycombe. If I may, I’m going to take this opportunity to share a bit about myself and what I do. My name is Chrissie, I’ve just come from my first posting in Norfolk. Before that I went through Vicar factory and have been involved in ministry for 15 years (I know I don’t look old enough!). My time in ministry has involved lots of work with young people, working in schools and colleges and the usual church stuff. I’m married and a mum of two. I enjoy circuits, running, crocheting and parachuting (not at the same time!). I’m passionate about enabling people to learn more about themselves (myself included) so that life can be lived to the full and with an attitude of gratitude. I try to see things positively, which my faith helps, but I am also real about life and that sometimes the positives are really good at playing hide and seek! Oh, and I like baking too…especially for other people. My role here at RAF High Wycombe is to, I admit, do the God stuff; baptisms, weddings, funerals, Bible studies and other God focused activities. However, one of my main roles here is to serve the station community and the individuals in the community in ways which can enable life to be lived to the full. So, my hope is that if anything is bugging people, bothering people, burdening people in anyway, I want to be available to help if I can. And if I can’t I will endeavour to signpost to places or agencies which might be able to help. As a Padre, I am here to serve and not be served. But, I’m really keen to not just look at those on the station…I am involved in the Star and , local schools and community events. So, I’m basically saying, if you think there is something which could do with a friendly Padre being involved then please give me a bell! And keep your eyes peeled for services and events starting at the Station Church. Contact details: Rev (Sqn Ldr) Christina Lacey 01494 494469, Email: [email protected]

The Annual Remembrance Service will be held at the Village Hall, Naphill on Sunday 10th November at 2.45pm. The service will be taken by Padre Chrissie Lacey, the Station Chaplain, at RAF High Wycombe. Last year’s service was well attended so please come along as all are invited. Wreaths will be laid at the end of the service on the Remembrance Stone. I should remind all organisations that it is their responsibility to provide their own wreaths. Remembrance Day holds a special place in the national calendar. It gives us all a chance to remember, and give thanks, to the thousands of Allied man and women who have given their lives to ensure our freedom from the tyranny of oppression. We must all remember the gift of their lives for our freedom. A collection for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal will be carried out at the end of the ceremony. Reg Horne

www.naphillandwaltersash.org.uk 25 Naphill Celebrates Heritage Day Clive Lawrence presented our local archivist, Pam Smith, with a bouquet in recognition of her 90th birthday Happy 90th last week. Pam’s folders of pictures and text, related Birthday Pam! to village life over many years, created a lot of interest at the Heritage Day. Many residents came and spent ages perusing the documents. The folders provide a wonderful record of what life was like here in the past. Lace making was a cottage industry in Naphill from Victorian times. Three ladies spent the day demonstrating the skill, and helping children to try their hand, keeping the tradition alive. Simon Kearey attended the event. He has organised events across Hughenden Parish for the 125 years anniversary and is a parish councillor from Hughenden Valley ward.

26 www.naphillandwaltersash.org.uk Kophill Climb - 10th Anniversary

Did you know that the traditional present for a 10th anniversary is tin?

The 10th outing of the Kophill Climb in September threw up a spectacular mix of both driveable (just) cars and modern day supercars - to the delight of fans.

A packed field enjoyed the sights, sounds and smells on the Saturday before the British weather (and what downpours they were!) intervened the following day to curtail the challenge that our hill provides. And it does you know!

I have marshalled at the top of the hill for the past two years and there is one thing that always stands out: No - not the sight of that rare vintage classic of yesteryear puffing and panting as it achieves the impossible. It’s the pride in the driver’s face.

Come see for yourself on the weekend of 19th & 20th September 2020.

We now await the results on how much money was raised for the Heart of Bucks good causes.

A Fond Farewell to Nurse Carole On behalf of the patients we would like to thank Nurse Carole for all her kindness and care. A very special nurse who has worked with and especially cared for the most vulnerable patients who cannot easily get to the surgery. She will be greatly missed by us all!

Naphill Tennis Club

Last month we commemorated the sudden death of our chairman, Terry Crooks, earlier in the year. It was decided that a suitably inscribed wooden bench would be a fitting tribute and would enable members to sit outside and watch others play. Terry had been a member and committee member of the club for many years and ultimately chairman. His widow, Sue, was invited to cut the ribbon and then joined club members for a game of tennis. CHILDREN’S AUTUMN COACHING has now finished but is likely to resume in the Easter holidays for both members and non-members. ADULT IMPROVERS’ COACHING will continue on Wednesday mornings for the foreseeable future.

When I first typed this, a typo occurred at the end of the Services at Saint Boltoph’s Church last sentence and feast read as ‘feats’. But maybe that was not such a bad typo. Each of the saints mentioned is known for their feats – of courage, humility, philanthropy, November 3rd 11am Eucharist faith, loyalty, determination, generosity, devotion, self November 10th 10.50 am Remembrance Service sacrifice and so forth. Some of these saints stood up for their Christian beliefs at a time when it was dangerous, November 17th 11am Eucharist ultimately paying with their lives and becoming martyrs. November 24th 11am Benefice Service at St. Paul’s, Others lived long, peaceful lives filled with deeds of West Wycombe charity and philanthropy. All of them firmly believed Rev.

The fallen soldiers, sailors and airmen we remember on Remembrance Day were not so different from the saints The South West Bucks Group of we remember around this time.

In the Parable, two out of three servants put consider our own spiritual gifts, and how they might their master’s talents to good use, and produced a best be used in our Church.

36 www.naphillandwaltersash.org.uk Our Local Sllimming World Group News

Members of the Lacey Green Slimming World group in September celebrated Slimming World’s 50th birthday, by holding a 60s’ themed party at St. Johns School. Each member brought along a Slimming World friendly dish with a 60’s twist. Curried eggs, sausages on sticks, pineapple and cheese sticks & more. We held a raffle for Macmillan’s Big Coffee Morning and raised a total of £40 from donated prizes.

As a slimmer, I joined Slimming World 4 years ago, lost 2.5 stone and never dreamt I would have the confidence to end up helping other people lose weight. I became consultant in Lacey Green in January 2019 and say “It’s a privilege for me to give my members the help and support they need to get to target. It’s been such a pleasure getting so many members to target since I started in January and above all see their confidence bloom”.

The Slimming World plan encourages you to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice and potatoes, lean meat and fish, you are never hungry, and no foods are banned so there’s no deprivation. It is amazing to find a way to lose weight without starving oneself.

LACEY GREEN SLIMMING WORLD IS MOVING VENUE AND DAY

The last Monday group at St. Johns Lacey Green will be on the 4th November

From Thursday 14th November at 5:30 and 7:30pm we will be at Hughenden Valley Village Hall (Small Hall) every week. *

*Please check times and days over the Christmas period. If you would like to find out more about this friendly, welcoming Slimming World group, please contact Kerry on 07887 567264
