Chilmark Church Fete – Saturday 16 June Another year, another Chilmark Church Fete! And what fun this one was, and how very grateful the PCC of St Margaret’s are for all the generosity, hospitality and sheer hard work that went into 2018‘s Fete.

The wonderful setting of the Old Rectory is perfect for such an English event, and we thank Neil and Susie Sutton for being such generous hosts. Huge thanks and admiration to Felicity Pattenden and her team who pulled the whole thing together.

Good music, Pimms, ices, teas, stalls and games, maypole dancing and general fun was enjoyed by all. A healthy sum of £1,426 towards church funds is VERY gratefully 4 The Village Voice

The Church Fete is a perfect English occasion and we make no apologies for our traditional stalls, refreshments and attractions which were so efficiently (wo)/manned by our volunteers of whom there are too many to mention here but are so greatly appreciated. The Friends of Chilmark and Fonthill Bishop Primary School ran the Pimms tent with enthusiasm and success. Our school was also represented by the time-honoured, ever-popular tradition of the children dancing round the Maypole, kindly organised by the school’s Head, Adam Smith. Sophie Eden delighted all the fete-goers with her seemingly effortless piano playing and established a congenial and happy atmosphere to the afternoon: thank you, Sophie!

Special thanks too to the Rubicon team and to Pete Corbin and members of the Chilmark Cricket Club for their help on Friday and Sunday morning and to Dion and Vera who kindly dismantled the gazebos after the fete on Saturday. How fortunate we were to have all their support. Darren Lee and his family were wonderful transporters, to whom we are particularly grateful.

On a more reflective note, some Fete supporters and helpers are with us no longer: Kath Acreman, of Fonthill Bishop, cheerfully helped serve teas at the Fete for as many years as any of us can remember; Jenny Knight generously donated much clothing to the Fete last year; John Wilcox always helped with the Raffle; and Dudley Lucas was a stalwart. They are all much missed. Felicity Pattenden

Church Fete Teas: very many thanks to everyone who contributed to success of the teas at the Church Fete last month. Lisbeth and I would particularly like to thank the wonderful team of helpers: Angi, Jane, Jenny, Jo, Margaret, Pauline, Ruth and Wendy who worked so hard on Saturday; everyone who baked cakes and scones for us and all our customers on the day. Thank you all. Sally Butcher

Plant Stall Thank you to everyone who provided plants for the Plant Stall at the Church Fete. In particular a big thanks to Merial Eaton, and also to Anne Pettigrew for her lovely irises and to Margaret Wood for digging up a selection of perennials. Julie O’Devlin

Bonfires bowler took, here’s a summary of who conceded the The beautiful weather in June prompted complaints about most sixes: Paul Butler (4), Reg Allen (4 - he only bowled bonfires in the village. One resident was distressed to find one over), Pete Corbin (3). There wasn’t much to write their washing stinking of smoke; another said it ruined about in Chilmark’s chase, though Jake Taylor again got their enjoyment of their garden and they had to go inside amongst the runs and Reg Allen very nearly cancelled out and shut all their windows. his bowling figures. It was a heavy loss. Players drowned their sorrows in Claire Allen’s Eton Mess. We’ve been asked to remind residents of the Wiltshire Council Bonfire Guidelines (see below) and to ask Douglas Jardine, a team loosely linked to the BBC, visited everyone to be mindful of the fact there is a relatively Cleeves Farm for a friendly encounter and escaped with high number of thatched homes and trees in the village, a close victory.

Claybush Play Area A reminder from the management committee With the wonderful summer weather and school holidays just round the corner, here are some reminders for play area users:

• The play area is intended for children up to the age of 11 • Please consider the houses surrounding the play area and try not to be too noisy in the play area on summer evenings. • The play area should not be used after dusk. • Please do not leave litter in the play area. Either take rubbish home with you or leave it in the rubbish bin by the main gate to the playing field.

Have a lovely summer! Sally Butcher

Chilmark Play Areas Letter to the Editor ‘I write in respect of the current discussions with regard to the existing play areas. I have not had involvement to date as my grandchildren are now young adults. This morning, whilst completing a major re-organisation of garage and carport, I noticed a young lad cycle into the courtyard who then turned round and exited. I decided to investigate further and discovered a group of ‘teenagers’ adjacent to the electricity sub-station. I politely pointed out that the courtyard is private property and not a public area. The courtyard is shared by four homeowners/families all of whom contribute annually to public liability insurance. The group were polite, one calling after me and apologising, which was greatly appreciated. Most of the lads had bikes and thus, because of Barn HILL, the substation represents almost the first bit of level ground. I suspect the lad who entered the courtyard was just being nosy - without which none of us would learn too much!

Fast forward to the subject matter. Could consideration be given to this older age group who, as one would expect, like to congregate with their friends and maybe convert one of the existing facilities to accommodate? May be a skateboard wall? May be not if it has to be supervised! A cycling track with obstacles? Ask the boys for their input. It would then ensure that facilities are available within the confines of the village from pre-school to adulthood.’ June Holdaway, Horseshoe Cottage

Whatever God has given us, as Christians it is our responsibility to use it for the good of others. That is what builds a community and that is what God hopes for.

God certainly does work in mysterious ways, bringing the best for us out of whatever life might throw at us. If we give ourselves time and space to look more closely at our lives we can no doubt find ways in which good has come out of some perhaps sad, painful, even tragic circumstances.

If we do something, for someone, good will always bring joy. Even just an unexpected smile could bring happiness to a lonely person.

Church Fete Our thanks to the Revd Elaine Brightwell for opening the Chilmark Church Fete on Saturday 16 June in the beautiful setting of Neil & Susie Sutton’s gardens at The Old Rectory. Despite concerns about the weather, villagers and visitors had lots of fun and the event raised £1,426, a key sum in St Margaret’s annual fund-raising programme.

Next up in the fund-raising diary is the annual Ride and Stride event.

I hope to introduce Facetime consultations to Tisbury in due course, as well as SMS and Email services. In the coming years I intend to become an associate specialist in dermatology to provide much needed support to patients who face a 6-12 month wait to see dermatology.

Tisbury surgery provides me the fantastic opportunity to be a traditional GP - namely to be a patient’s advocate and guide through the complex and modern National Health Service. I have loved my year here so far and looked forward to working hard for the community in the coming years. Adam Smith - June 2018

Hindon Surgery News How general practice is transforming to cope with the increased complexity of care:

Patient needs are increasingly complex (in Hindon and also nationally), although Wiltshire practices are meeting these increasing needs with fewer doctors by working as multidisciplinary teams.

The national situation shows a shortage of thousands of GPs and this is not showing any signs of improvement. A drive to increase GP numbers by 5,000 has actually resulted in a decrease of over a thousand. At a jobs fair in Wiltshire last month, just three potential GPs attended.

None of this is new. Back in 2003 almost all our clinical and administrative work was done by a doctor. Since then we have increased our investment in practice staff 13 The Village Voice
