Newsletter Oct-Nov 2012 Newsletter 1 of St. George’s URC Hartlepool OctOct–––– Nov 2012 Dear Friends, During my childhood there was a calendar hanging in our dining-room which was a picture of ‘the Boston Stump’. I always wondered where and what it was, but did not find out until last weekend. Well, they say that it is never too late to learn something! The Church of St. Botolph, Boston in Lincolnshire, affectionately known as ‘the Stump’ perhaps because it has the appearance of a tall tree with its branches lopped for felling, is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church. It is actually bigger than some cathedrals I have seen, standing about 250 feet high and 340 feet long. The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing an earlier Norman church, but the earliest church was founded in the seventh century by an Anglo- Saxon missionary monk called Botolph. The town was originally called Botolph’s Stone, which got shortened to Boston. When the church was first planned, Boston possessed a port that did more business than anywhere in England except London, and wool was the main export. Boston stands on ‘the Grand Sluice’, where fenland drains converge into The Haven, a tidal river that empties into the Wash. Mer- chants from all over Europe went to Boston in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries for the Great Fair which began on St. Botolph’s Day, 17 June, when they bought wool and cloth and sold their wines and furs. Sadly, by the time that the building was finished, the great days of Boston’s commercial prosperity had passed, but then Boston be- came a religious centre. Many pilgrims went to visit the Holy Rood (the Cross) in the Lady Chapel. It made me think that perhaps Hartlepool might also reinvent itself from being a commercial port and industrial centre, not to become a leisure facility but a place of pil- grimage, somewhere that feels very close to heaven and dear to God’s heart. Wishing you every blessing, Val 2 Dates for your Diaries October Sat 6 th 2-4pm Celebrate young people at St Hilda’s Church Mon 8 th 10am Elders Meeting at 17 Granville Ave Wed 10 th 8am Town-wide Churches Together Prayer meeting at College of FE Wed 10 th 2pm Town-wide Churches Together AGM a Owton Manor Baptist Church Thurs 11 th 6.15pm CWM/Pilots evening with Meg Robb Sat 20 th 10am onwards – Synod and celebration of 40 th anniversary of URC Sun 21 st 6.30pm One World Week Service in St Hilda’s.

We were split into 4 Watches: Heroes, Incredibles, Fantastics and Supers. I was in the Supers. We participated in lots of activities based on the theme such as; designing a super hero based on the skills of the Watch, creating a gadget for a Superhero to use for good. Our group created a healing glove which used faith to heal people’s wounds. Next we had 5 activities that we rotated around; dancing, singing, cooking, finger painting and team building. The following day we were told the story of Peter walking on the water, and then we had to express the story in different mediums. I choose drama. We performed a sketch based on the TV show Take Me Out. We were also given the task of creating a water- proof den, outside in the grounds of the house, which all of the Watch could fit under, us- ing all the materials that had been given to us. We all had a great time and I am already looking forward to next year. Emily Rodgers Day 1 Set off at 5.25 am – had a long train journey. Dinner was lasagne and apple pie and custard. We played getting to know you bingo. Got into our Watches, I was in the Fantastics, and we created Super Heroes. Mine was called Shape Women. We had jacket potato for tea. We went 10 pin bowling and then went to bed. Day 2 After breakfast we did 5 workshops; finger painting (which was my favourite), sing- ing, cooking, dancing and building. We were asked to create a super hero gadget. Out Watch created a Shield called Raginald to give it an identity. For dinner we had crispy chicken and chips and angel delight or jelly. We had a campfire after our pizza and garlic bread tea. Day 3 After breakfast we had 5 workshops to choose from. I chose the glass making. We had to base our painting on a story about Peter/Simon that we had been told earlier in the day. We had fish and chips for our dinner. After dinner we played a Wide Game which involved collecting 100 pieces of coloured string, our Watch’s colour was pink – we won! We had scones and a cup of tea, make a den and then had a BBQ for our tea.

Canon Janet Burbury, The Vicarage , Hart, Hartlepool, TS27 3AP [email protected] Tel 01429 262340 Mob 07958 131271 Dear Friends Our churches are setting their 2019 budgets and deciding how much to offer the central funds which pay for all our legal structures, training, vicarages, stipends, church schools, safeguarding training and so on. Elwick and Hart try hard to raise our giving each year whilst bearing in mind the cost of maintaining our buildings, insurance, heating, resources, office equipment etc. Can we make money and our human economy sacred? Money can be the enemy of our better instincts blocking our generosity as we listen to that internal voice, “I can’t afford to”. Money is never a popular subject. Greed for it makes humanity raid the earth’s resources with too few courses of action to secure its sustainability and when politicians seek money rather than public good we call them worse than dirt. It’s been said that we cannot serve both God and Mammon. I know money do wonders to help society but on balance we more often than not feel those plastic looking folding notes are the root of many evils. Perhaps the biggest problem of money is the way we’ve come to see the physical aspects of life as separate from the sacred and holy. Once people decided that their folklore gods left their for- ests to live in the skies we started to think God is up there out of our world sitting on the clouds out of reach to us below.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

Pharmacies are a key partner in plans to address the prevention of ill health which can only be achieved through integrated working. Pharmacies are often placed in the very heart of communities close to where Hartlepool people live, work and shop, and provide easy access to services. Pharmacies increasingly support people in making healthier lifestyle choices and advise on and provide a range of treatments as well as signposting to other services. This Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment provides the opportunity for a basis on which NHS England decisions on the location and shape of local pharmaceutical services can be made. It outlines the varying needs of our population across Hartlepool both in terms of pharmacy services currently available and considering needs for the future. This draft made available for consultation is an important part of ensuring the PNA is developed through a wide consultation process with a range of professionals, service users and the public; to understand the views of stakeholders on the current availability and provision of pharmaceutical services locally and makes recommendations to inform decision-making.
