Email: [email protected] Our Essex & Suffolk Gliding Club’s annual event took place recently over a weekend of glorious sunshine. The undoubted highlight of the event was the arrival on Saturday morning, from Duxford, of the ’Catalina Flying Boat’. This magnificent aircraft, built by Consolidated Aircraft in 1943, was one of the most widely used seaplanes in the second World War. The PBY was jocularly described as the slowest combat aircraft of the war! But it was a sturdy, reliable aircraft, ideally suited for long patrols over the oceans. Once again an excellent display of both “Wings & Wheels” by the E&SGC, resulting in a very generous donation to their elected charity, Essex Air Ambulance. Gardening Tip July 19 By now most strawberry plants will have finished fruiting and July 2019 4th Mobile Library @ Roblets Way 2.25pm will be sending out runners with 6th Stour Valley Singers Concert new plants on them. If you do @ St Andrew’s Church 7.30pm not need any new plants simply cut off the runners 6th Guilt Coins Rock Band @ Sports Field 8.00pm and dispose of them before they make a tangled 7th Pet Service @ St Andrew’s 11.00am mess. However, if you would like some more plants 10th Bookworms @ WCEC 7.15pm or need to replenish your strawberry plants then 11th Parish Council Mtg @ Village Hall 7.00pm now is the time to do it. It is worth remembering 12th ART Annual Presentaton @ WCEC 2.00pm that strawberry plants only 12th Family Quiz @ Village Hall 7.30pm have a productive life of 19th Bingo @ Sports Pavilion 7.15pm 21st FAMILY FUN DAY @ Village Hall 11am to 3pm around four years after 25th Mobile Library @ Roblets Way 2.25pm which the yield from the 28th ‘Alfevision’ 6-a-side football plant will diminish. To get competton @ Sports Field 2 to 6pm a new plant simply fill a small plant pot with com- Post Ofce: Every Wed @ Village Hall 12.30 to3pm post and peg the new run- Every Friday @ “ 10am to 12.30pm ner down in the pot. To do this I usually use old metal coat hangers with a If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they be called Fed UP? hook one end straight at the other – it only need to be five centimetres or so longer than the depth of the pot. It just needs to firmly anchor the runner into the pot and stop the pot being dislodged if it is windy. Both the parent plant and the new runner may need watering if the weather is dry. After a few weeks the new plant will have rooted into the pot. It can then be cut off from the parent plant and be replanted where desired. Again if conditions are dry it will be helpful to keep it watered particularly until it is well established.

Wormingford Weather Rainfall for May 2018 1.11 inches Rainfall for May 2019 1.81 inches Thanks to John Jackson for the weather Wormingford Parish Council (WPC) Report Notes of the WPC meeting held on Thursday 13th June 2019. Tim Hearne was co-opted onto the Council bringing Councillor numbers up to six out of a maximum of seven. We will continue to seek a further recruit to fill the outstanding vacancy (anyone interested should contact the Clerk at the address shown below). Cllr Nigel Chapman addressed the meeting and informed us that the revised Colchester Borough Council Local Plan will be available for consultation during the summer period. The Council reviewed the Asset Register which was outstanding from the last meeting and now includes the new bus shelter. It was interesting to note that the new shelter cost £12,591 (including installation), this cost has been fully borne by Essex County Council. One new planning application had been received and updates given on five ongoing applications. Details of these applications can be found on the Colchester Borough Council Online Planning Web Page. A further discussion took place regarding the possi- bility of using the old telephone box at the Church Road junction as a location for the installation of a defibril- lator. Quotations to be obtained to re-establish a power supply, modify the phone box and purchase and install the defibrillator. A request had also been received to use the telephone box as a free library. It was decided to review this request once a decision had been made whether this is a viable site for a de- fibrillator. The Recreation Trust representatives reported that there have been several instances of vandalism around the play- ground and village hall area. Please note that the next meeting will take place at the Village Hall on Thursday 11th July 2019 at 7.00pm Please email any comments or views to the Parish Clerk at [email protected].
