Fortunately for me I have enjoyed the tutelage of Richard Cast over the last three years as his Vice Chairman and hopefully this will leave me well prepared for the task ahead. We are lucky in Kent to have a well versed and committed County team able and willing to provide constructive support to our many and varied Branches. I am pleased to welcome some newcomers to the team in Jonathan Webb our Vice Chairman and Lisa Wolfe. Both have a wide range of skills and experience to bring with them that will help us all. I mentioned events in this Centenary year of 2018 to mark the end of hostilities with Germany in World War I and some are quite pressing for us to finalise even though it is early in the year. Predominant in these is GP90 and somehow I feel many of you may not realise this is not so much about the Branch but about the Community around it. -
Headcorn Headlines
HEADCORN HEADLINES Edition: 129 Week Beginning: 01.07.19 URGENCY GENERAL WHOLE SCHOOL ITEMS We have had a busy week packed full of athletics, photos, history and swimming. Congratulations to our two teams who took part in the Athletics Competition held at the Julie Rose Stadium in Ashford. Excellent placing this year and as always, fantastic displays not only of talent and effort but also of sportsmanship. More news about this next week. On Wednesday we had our Class Photos taken. Information on how to order these will be sent home once the proofs arrive. Please order promptly to ensure delivery before the end of term. Thursday Year 3 enjoyed their History Day on The Stone Age. The class enjoyed re-enacting hunting, crawling through mining tunnels and acting out a Celtic myth. Take a look at our Twitter feed for some photos of their adventures! Head’s Lines Today Year 6 visited the Open Day at The Police College where they attended workshops and activities that promoted the vital and diverse role of policing across the county, from training the officers through to receiving and responding to emergency calls. It also highlighted how the police work with partners to deal with crime and disorder, protect the public from harm, and keep Kent safe. During the visit, pupils were able to meet officers, watch police teams in action and take part in activities and demonstrations. There was a large range of interactive displays that sought to engage the children around some of the key challenges they may face as they move into their next stage of development, involving online safety, road safety, alcohol and drug awareness. -

Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches. -
