TRINITY From our From our Deputy Connétable Dear All I’m writing this a few short weeks before Brexit – but uncertainty continues apace. We, in Jersey, are not immune and the government is preparing for all eventualities. Our European neighbours may never have seemed so important, so it was delightful that the Trinity Twinning Association hosted a walk and afternoon tea recently.

Parish events take a lot of organising and to the volunteers who give their time freely, we give many thanks. Across the island, the third sector is vital in supporting charities, the arts and sports. We shouldn’t take this for granted. Our parish is often at the centre of events with the Royal Jersey Showground here. Everything from festivals to the start of the car rally have taken place over the past few months. I know our roads get busier at these times and I also know from experience how hard the Honorary Police and others work to keep everything running smoothly. Thank you. It may seem that there’s no concrete decisions being made about Dear Parishioners anything in the current climate. There’s the decision to be made as to the It’s difficult to imagine that by the time you read this size and location of the new hospital; what to do with Fort Regent.

Our As the nights draw in and the days become shorter, I can assure you Battle of Flowers Association, both seniors and juniors, did really well again winning that they don’t become less busy. The Government Plan continues to several prizes.

FEATURE TrinitySchool Harvest at Trinity School Nursery For Harvest, Nursery learnt a brand new song! The song was called 'Big, Red Combine Harvester'. We made up some actions to go with each verse. Our favourite verse was the one about cutting the corn! We all brought in a tin or packet of dry food and walked to the Church for our service. We performed our new song to all the guests and then put our tins and packets of food in the basket at the front. We learnt what 'Harvest' is and why it's special. It was a great morning and a great first adventure out of the school for Nursery Reception In Reception we sang a song all about a big red combine harvester. We walked up from school with our parents/carers. In school we have been busy painting red combine harvesters. Those children that chose to do a painting confidently held their beautiful painting up in Church. In Year 4 For the Harvest festival Year 4 did the our classroom we have also been play” Stone Soup”.

We were keen to sing a song for our Harvest celebrations this year, so we changed the words to ‘Let it Go’ to ‘Let it Grow’! Using what we had learnt in class, we changed the lyrics to include crops growing, fields being harvested and lots of different foods. We also thought about those people who were not as lucky as us and didn’t have lots of food to enjoy. We reflected that we are very lucky to enjoy all of our rights, including the right to nutritious food. AA orordable driving with a Honda i nidulcn g 5 years free s gnicivre Honda HR--VV

The new film gave me and our design team for the main float, the inspiration and enthusiasm we needed to make it happen. We have picked many iconic moments from both films and blended them designed by Charlie together to create a feast for the senses! Just imagine, if you will, the scenes of London, the costumes, the remarkable characters who now Ahier. seem more like friends after watching them so many times. All this is played out to a symphony of songs that make you smile and want to dance! Trinity will be sprinkling some of the Mary Poppins magic on the 2020 Battle of Flowers and we would love for as many people as possible to join us on this journey and have a little, or a lot, of the Mary Poppins magic sprinkled on them! It promises to be a magical extravaganza of colour, fun and music. Bringing to life the iconic characters and scenes in both films will be a challenge, but we are raring to have a go! Our team is determined to bring a reinvigorated sense of community and enjoyment to the year-long process of designing and creating the float. There is still so much enthusiasm for Battle in Trinity, and we need to ensure that enthusiasm is nurtured and given the opportunity to express itself. Battle remains an extraordinary event which enables all generations to work together to create a truly wondrous float that thrills spectators. Trinity has a very rich and successful heritage in Battle and you can be a part of our present and our future. There’s a job for everyone. It bears repeating: there really is a job for everyone.

FEATURE 6th Jersey Scout Group The 6th Jersey Scout group has had a busy start to the autumn term. Our Scouts entered the dragon boat race for the first time this year and improved their time with each race, raising over £1,200 for Jersey Hospice in the process. Trinity Beavers were busy picking Apples in the Spottiswoode Orchard and Trinity Cubs were out getting involved with ‘Hidden Books on the Rock’, the latest craze of hiding books around the Island for others to find, read and re-hide. During the summer holidays one of our leaders, as well as one of our past scouts, joined 8 other representatives from the Jersey Scout Association at the 24th World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. They enjoyed 12 days of fun and adventure and a wide range of activities, meeting over 42,000 scouts from all over the world. The 6th Jersey would like to thank Michael Binet who recently provided a field in Trinity for our Scouts to camp. The scouts and leaders had a fantastic weekend of survival skills. Trinity Village Stores provided breakfast on the Sunday morning; freshly baked pain au chocolat and croissants, which went down well with all, so thank you. The 6th Jersey Scout Group is one of the largest Scout Groups on the island. The Trinity Beaver Colony and Cub Pack meet at Trinity Youth Centre on a Wednesday evening. A Beaver Colony, Cub Pack and Scout Troop also meet at St Mary’s Community Centre. Sadly, we no longer have a scout troop in Trinity as our numbers dropped, but we now have a waiting list of young people (10 - 14 years) who want to join and need some adult volunteers! Put your skills to use, learn new ones, and contribute to an amazing Top: Scouts getting ready for the life experience for you and your local community.

The Germans then arrived and, to use Derek’s phrase, ‘that put the tin hat on our plans’.

world in international breeding programmes, several of which are co-ordinated by our staff here at Jersey. Of course, the international breeding programmes mean that sometimes we have to say goodbye to beloved animals born and raised here. This year we said a fond farewell to the irrepressible Indigo, our young gorilla, and Raymi, our mischievous and high-spirited Andean bear ‘cub’. Whilst I am always impressed by the professionalism of our staff, there is no doubt that it is sad to see animals we care for leave. A few tears are shed in private, but we know it’s for the best and part of our job at the zoo is to see them go off to one-day produce their own offspring, helping protect their species, and perhaps their descendants will return to the wild when it is safe to do so. The populations of animals we care for are, of course, not all destined to be returned to the wild, but they have multiple other important tasks. They help people find empathy and joy in nature, raising funds for their wild counterparts, teaching us new skills to take to the wild and making a safety-net population to ensure that if the worst happens, and we lose a species in the wild, we can still act. There is a very big difference indeed between ‘extinct in the wild’ and ‘extinct’. Zoo populations give hope that not all is lost in these worst-case scenarios. Take for example the devastation that the yellow fever outbreak in Brazil is having on its native primates. Golden Lion Tamarins have lost 40% of the population in a single year. Zoos were pivotal in saving the Golden Lion Tamarin in the past and its looks likely that we will have to step in again for the future. The skills we see in our keeping staff are replicated in all the other departments of the zoo, ensuring we remain a forward-thinking organisation. Take the recent work of the Conservation Knowledge department, which encompasses training, conservation learning and science. We have set a target to better connect 1 million people to nature – a tough ask! However, we are determined to get this done, as human connection to nature is such a valuable thing for both people and the planet. We know that people who are more connected to nature are more likely to take action to help their local and global environment. We also know that nature connection leads to better mental and physical health. A win-win for all of us. Last year we carried out a nature connectedness study with nearly 1000 8-11 year olds across Jersey and also studied connectedness in our zoo visitors. Later this year one of our conservation learning team will visit Sumatra to start carrying out the same studies at our global rewilding sites to understand if cultural difference can be seen or whether we are all very similar the world over. This will inform our nature connection work globally, but not only that, it will advance nature Top: connectedness studies in general in a field where studies of western populations Golden Lion Tamarin predominate.

PARISH LIFE

TrinityTwinningAssociation A group of 60 people, a happy mix of young & old, dogs on leads and an exuberant puppy joined the Trinity Twinning Association for an hour’s walk round the Trinity countryside in October followed by tea.

It had been raining for weeks making the countryside look fresh and lush. Fortunately it stopped just before the walk. There were so many people that the walk was split into two with half taking a clockwise route led by Beth Lloyd and the other half going anti-clockwise, led by John Gallichan. It didn’t matter which way we went, there was a lot of mud in both PSP ASPHALT LIMITED directions! A fair pace was set - possibly encouraged Quarter Page - PORTRAIT by the promise of tea & cake at the Parish Hall. Once there, we were greeted with the sight of 90mm x 135mm tables laid out for afternoon tea. Delicious hot scones were served with jam & cream, followed by the most delightful array of cakes. An endless supply of hot tea was most welcome, all supplied by members of Trinity Twinning. The atmosphere was convivial - probably due to a general feeling of relief that we had made it back from the walk! What a simply lovely way to spend a few hours on a cold October Sunday. The Twinning Association hope to organise more community events like this, the next one being the second annual Christmas Dinner on Tuesday 10th December. All welcome! What’s in aname? The French word ‘monnaie’ which gives this road its name does not, as might be assumed, mean money per se although it appears in many French phrases with monetary connections.

PARISH LIFE Parishin Bloom Small businesses The Trinity Parish in Bloom entry was again rewarded this year with a 'Silver-Gilt' classification consolidating our status as an accredited 'Floral Parish'. Our entry was Kico Cake Art so well received that we have been invited next year to Baking cakes for her daughters’ birthdays, rekindled a enter not only for the local Jersey Parish in Bloom but childhood passion in South - African born, Trinity mum, also for the National 'Britain in Bloom'. This is a great Janine who confesses to “being a little obsessed by the honour for us after only our second year. It means that combination of precision, chemistry, colour and creativity, all rolled into one glorious pastime”. we have t o re-double our efforts to show the national judges what a great place Trinity is. Kico Cake Art (a fusion of her childhood nickname Kiki and her daughters’ name Coco) is the result of her love of all things tasty. We will be judged according to a number of criteria; specifically A hairdresser by day, Janine draws on her natural flair for colour and design to create her bespoke tall tower cakes. Statuesque 'Greening-up' disused or neglected spaces constructions, silky smooth meringue buttercream, luscious sponge Managing public areas flavours and fillings give Kico creations their unique edge.

All enquiries are via email [email protected] Although we have done well so far there is much more that we can do and must do to meet the exacting standards required by the national competition. To this end we will be contacting many of you directly in the next few weeks to discuss ways in which you can get involved and build on our local success so far and put Trinity 'on the map' nationally. One of the projects we have started this year is the planting up of the borders alongside the new Petanque area. It will look a little sparse for a couple of What’s in aname? years until the shrubs and perennials take hold but we have deliberately spaced the plants to allow for growth and also, aware of the cost to the public purse, to allow for filling out by propagating our own plants over time as we see which plants are best suited to the area. We also have plans to extend the Parish Hall floral decorations and improve the design and colour of the road border. The wildflower borders at Le Grand Clos were again a highlight of our entry this year and well received by the judges as were the superb floral displays in Les Maisons Cabot which continue to be a huge credit to the residents there. Both areas, we hope, will again feature strongly in our 2020 entry. Below: New borders at the Petanque Court
