Every year on the Friday before Remembrance Sunday, I meet with children from St Lawrence and Bel Royal Primary Schools to remember those St Lawrence servicemen who lost their lives in the First World War and who are buried in the Parish Churchyard. We place a poppy cross on the four graves and hear a few words about each of the servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice.

As many community groups as possible: 1781 Jersey Militia, schools, sports clubs, youth club, brownies, scouts, cadets… and as many marching bands as possible! And as if that’s not enough, we’ll have plenty of 1940s singing and dancing for everyone to join in and a professional team of Lindy Hoppers to help us all enter into the spirit of the day.

In what is becoming an annual event, on Saturday 12th October the 1781 St Lawrence Militia visited the Parish to commemorate the two members of the St Lawrence Militia who were killed during the Battle of Jersey in 1781. Visit of the 1781 St Lawrence Militia Having mustered in the Moignard Liberation Garden, a cannon salute of three single rounds was fired after which the Colour Party, the Militia Infantry and additional Artillerymen, joined by those keen Parishioners who had turned out on a rather bleak October morning, marched to the Parish Hall. The sight was enjoyed by passengers in passing vehicles, who were seen to be filming and photographing the colourful and somewhat unusual scene.

Standing alongside the Parish War Memorial, the Connétable then provided some information about the two men who had lost their lives during the Battle of Jersey, after which a musket salute was fired in their honour.

On a chilly morning, welcome refreshments were then provided by members of the St Lawrence Ladies Action Group in the warmth of the Parish Hall and enjoyed by all. With thanks to Deputy Guida, Amy and their dog, Apple, for staying out in the cold and guarding the cannon and to Alfie Pipon for the historical details.

ST LAWRENCE WI By Anne Bougourd

I am writing this on the morning after our 70th Birthday Celebrations, another highlight in the history of WI in St Lawrence. The president, Sheila Sykes, welcomed the Island Chairman, Brenda Smith, Connétable Deidre Mezbourian and members, past members and representatives from other WIs. The evening began with Olwen Smith telling us about the early more formal times of the WI in Jersey, and of her experiences during a long membership of WI in England and Jersey. We were then served a delicious celebration buffet, kindly supplied and served by members of Pat Billington’s family and friends, with desserts supplied by the Committee. After supper I gave a summary of some of the more unusual and amusing incidents from my 47 years of membership. The birthday cake made by Pat Billington was then cut by Sheila and six former presidents and a toast raised to the future of St Lawrence WI. We were then beautifully entertained by The Songbirds. After this, the raffle was drawn and thanks given to all those who had contributed to the evening’s success. There was only one way to end the evening, everyone rose to their feet to sing Jerusalem. May St Lawrence WI continue for many years to come.

Our next meeting will be on December 13th when we will learn how to produce special Christmas flower arrangements. In January we will learn about Long-term Care and February’s meeting will be on Preserving the Past. Is there a connection between these two? Come along and find out for yourselves.

Unit 3, Barette Commercial Centre, La Grande Route du Mont Mado, St John, Jersey, JE3 4DS p22 Winter2019 Vintage Tractor by Michel Stephan Run The Jersey Classic Vehicles club, Tractor Members, held a rally on the 4th August 2019 in Mesney’s Field La Route de L’Eglise St Lawrence, by kind invitation of Michel and Christine Stephan. A light breakfast was taken by members before the start of the run. On a beautiful Sunday morning at 10.30am over 30 members turned out with their tractors. There were a good number of local spectators, who were excited at seeing these tractors in pristine condition, some were in their original state. Models consisted of; Grey Fergy’s; Fords; International BMC; Massey Fergerson’s Dextas. The age ranging from 1948 to 1975, these were owned by farmers and people from all walks of life, who have restored them and kept them running.

The ‘Tractor Run’ was led by Derek Vivian and Sam Pallot both locally known from the Steam Museum. The run took us from Carrefour Selous on to St Mary down St Peter’s Valley, passed the Greenhills Hotel, Le Pissot, back into St Lawrence, to Three Oaks, down Mont de la Chesnaie to Waterworks Valley, then up Bue de la Rue, to La Ruette Pinel, and on to La Grande Route de St Jean, along La Rue des Maupertuis, Mont à l’Abbé, turning at the top of Queen’s Road, and down New St John’s Road, through to Gloucester Street and on to La Collette Power Station.

It was a good ‘Tractor Run’ with people waving and taking photos of this convoy of tractors which had taken to the roads. At our destination, La Collette Power Station, we were met by a Manager of the JEC, who invited us all to partake in a tour of the Power Station, which was duly taken up. A fantastic guided tour was given by Trevor Le Cornu, a St Lawrence parishioner, who explained how our electricity is generated in Jersey and France and how it is distributed to the whole of the Island.

A great time was had by all. A big thank you to all who helped to make this a wonderful day. p23 Winter2019 Charity Mixed Walking NetballTournament by Jackie Nelson

On Saturday October 5, a Charity Walking Netball Tournament was organised by the Fitzgerald Wilkins family, who are members of the St Lawrence Netball Club. This event was in memory of two very important people. Jill Luce, a long- standing member of the club and Mrs Fitzgerald, the Mother and Grandmother of the family who organised the whole event, both of whom sadly lost their battle against cancer last year.

Over 100 people had a fun filled afternoon trying to master the skills needed to play Walking Netball. 'Hoops' won the ‘10 team tournament’ and had the honour of being the first name to be inscribed on the Jill Luce Memorial Trophy, which was presented by Steve Luce and very kindly donated by the Parish of St Lawrence. 'Hotshots' were presented with the Fitzgerald Fundraising Team award, for raising the most sponsorship. This was presented by Leanne and her family. Jill Luce Memorial Trophy Over £2,250.00 was raised, through sponsorship, a raffle and a superb Cake sale organised by the U12 and U14 Netball Academy. The money raised was split evenly The team photo of the Hotshots. between Jersey Cancer Relief, After Breast Cancer and New Home 4 Netball.

The tournament was held in Les Ormes Indoor Netball courts, many thanks to The Bosdet Foundation for providing the courts free of charge.

As the Scouts came towards the end of painting the Photo Booth, I asked several of them to put in their own words how they had helped with it. Here’s what they said.

This painting represents a scene from the Liberation of the Channel Islands, which was 75 years ago, on the 9th May 1945. The type of painting is called a Photobooth and it is a fun way of getting a picture with family and friends as you put your face through the holes. Photobooths were popular during the late 1950s and early 60s. Not many people owned a camera as they would have been expensive, and you would have needed a dark room to develop the negatives.

The Cubs and Scouts (of the 23rd Scout Group) were asked to help paint the Photobooth. The first week the Cubs helped draw the outline, and over the next two Scout meetings at Bel Royal School we painted it. We all had an excellent time and hope you come to take pictures on Sunday 10th May 2020 (and donate money to the British Red Cross!)

The 23rd Scout Group leaders know the Cubs and Scouts had a really fun time helping with this, and their hard work will go towards badge work. As a Group we are planning to take part in the Parade on the 10th May 2020.

A couple of weeks after the painting, two of the Scouts were randomly selected to represent the Group, and they joined the Parish Constable and Deputy Guida for a photo opportunity with the Photobooth, which was in the JEP on 14th November 2019.

We do feel Scouting is a great opportunity for young people and adults alike to gain ‘skills for life’ and should any of you be interested in joining the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts or joining us as an adult volunteer please do get in touch with our Group Scout Leader, Elisabeth [email protected] who can answer all of your queries.

We split into two groups and looked at a large Island map and talked about the needs of a growing community. We considered infrastructure, protection of open spaces and changes to land use, housing projects, sustainable energy, habitat protection, employment and future travel provisions. Each group had a different solution but could see the need for balance and careful planning.

We learnt that there is only so much space in Jersey and we need to protect the good bits such as the castles, fields, and sense of community. We are looking forward to finding out how our ideas have been used. p33 Winter2019

Kindness and Christmas A Christmas Message

On a cold day in December, some years ago in New York city, a little boy was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!' 'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,' was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.' As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her: 'Are you God's wife?'

I am always encouraged when I see or hear about acts of kindness, like the story above; those moments when what I call a ‘beautiful collision’ takes place in a person’s life and an unexpected act of kindness collides with an expected difficulty, disappointment, or danger and the outcome becomes very different. At every level, these ‘collisions’ always have an impact because kindness values someone as important and special. We remember those who have shown kindness to us.

But often what is forgotten is that kindness is a gift that comes from God and it is a gift that is at the heart of the Christmas story – the kindness of the Saviour Jesus who in the most extraordinary and beautiful collision came to the world He created unexpectedly as a vulnerable baby, to live, die on the cross and rise again in order to rescue us from the expected darkness and death, and bring life and hope to our lives, now and forever.

How disturbing it would have been had the little boy, after being shown such unexpected kindness, walked away without expressing any kind of gratitude or emotion. Yet all too often that happens with God and His kindness shown to us. Christmas comes and goes and all is forgotten. This season, as we prepare for Christmas, may we remember in a fresh way that kindness and Christmas go together and give thanks to God for His most wonderful kindness in Jesus. And when the opportunity arises, may we also show such unexpected kindness, that like the little boy, when it ‘collides’ with us it turns our eyes back to the Giver of this most wonderful gift!
