Diocese of Portsmouth Live: Pray: Serve Diocese of Portsmouth Live: Pray: Serve The Parishes of St James, East Cowes and St Mildred, Whippingham The Bishop with the Lord Chancellor wish to appoint a Rector for this benefice with 0.2 Schools Ministry Enabler The Isle of Wight The Isle of Wight covers an area 23 miles by 13 miles and lies off the South coast of England. The Island is a popular destination for tourists and enjoys a range of award- winning beaches, many attractions, activities for all ages, beautiful scenery and a rich historical heritage. Over half the Island is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with 500 miles of public footpaths and bridleways and 30 miles of seashore. The Island is well linked to the mainland by ferries, catamarans and hovercraft connecting with Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton and Lymington. Portsmouth and our Cathedral are just 12 minutes away from Ryde by hovercraft and it is a short walk to the Cathedral. The car ferry from Southampton to East Cowes takes approximately 1 hour and the Portsmouth car ferry takes approximately 40 minutes. The Island’s population is approximately 140,000 across a range of age and socio- economic groups with a high proportion of elderly and retired. The Island’s main employment comes from tourism, light engineering, aerospace technology, NHS, local government, education and the prison service. The Isle of Wight Council is a Unitary Authority. The population of the East Cowes and Whippingham Area is approximately 11,000 with 41% aged under 18. Further information is available at www.iwight.com. The present condition of the Island’s economy in general may be viewed with cautious optimism. The increase of VAT-registered businesses over the past 10 years highlights an encouraging growth of business activity. The unemployment figure stands at 5.6% which is over 1% higher than the rest of the South East but comparable to England generally. In the past, property prices were lower on the Island than those on the Mainland but are now generally on a par with much of the South East. With 97% Broadband coverage companies and individuals do not have to be based in towns and cities on the Mainland in order to carry out their business. The Island has a Unitary Authority, with local government services being delivered by the Isle of Wight Council and some shared with Hampshire County Council. There are also town and parish councils. St Mary’s Hospital in Newport serves the whole Island. Patients travel to Southampton and Portsmouth for specialist treatment. The Diocese of Portsmouth pays an Isle of Wight Weighting to clergy (currently £750 per annum) which is intended to help with personal costs involved in living on the Island and for help with ferry fares. Shopping facilities are good, with Newport and Ryde as the two main centres, East Cowes has a variety of shops including Waitrose. There are major retail developments in Portsmouth (Gunwharf) and Southampton (West Quay). The Island provides the usual range of recreational and sporting facilities. There is a multiplex cinema in Newport and an above average number of amateur dramatic and musical groups, with an arts centre in Newport. The Isle of Wight is an attractive place to live with a different pace to the mainland. In addition to areas of outstanding natural beauty there is a wide variety of tourist attractions including Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle, two Roman Villas, vintage railway, two zoos, monkey and donkey sanctuaries and a Dinosaur Museum. Each year the Island hosts many festivals including the IW Festival, the Literary Festival, Garlic Festival, VDub Festival, Scooter Festival and many more. Many artists, writers and musicians have called the Island their home and it is still an environment for much cultured activity with its own symphony orchestra, many choirs and concerts. Education The Isle of Wight operates a two-tier educational system comprising approximately fifty Primary and Secondary schools. The Isle of Wight College also offers a range of opportunities for further education. In addition to the schools and places for pre-school age children many children of secondary and sixth form age travel to Christ the King College in Newport. Christ the King College is a joint Church of England and Catholic secondary school and sixth form college. Attainment at Christ the King College is the highest of all the Island's secondary schools. Schools in Whippingham & East Cowes Age Group Queensgate Foundation Primary 5-11 Holy Cross Roman Catholic Primary 5-11 The Priory School (Independent) 3-18 The Studio School 14-18 CECAMM (part of Isle of Wight College) 16+ East Cowes & Whippingham The area includes the town of East Cowes and the village of Whippingham. Both communities have had significant increases in population over the last five years with East Cowes at 7,300 and Whippingham 3,800. Much of this increase is due to extensive house building. East Cowes was recently reported nationally as the 5th best town to live in. The Ministry Team The Ministry Team consists of the incumbent, a rector, and currently one retired assistant priest and one lay pastoral assistant based at St James. Within the churches lay people are involved with sidespersons duties, administration of the chalice, lesson reading and leading of intercessions. Teams of volunteers help, year round, with the annual jigsaw festival at St James and at St Mildred’s they run the coffee shop (Apr – Oct), act as guides within the church and maintain the churchyard.

A group of people help with the monthly coffee mornings and also with the Weekly Welcome, a soup lunch on Wednesdays. There is one lay Pastoral Assistant who visits people in their homes and co-ordinates our pastoral care. The Rectory The Rectory is situated in Victoria Grove about half way between St James’ and St Mildred’s churches. The Rectory has had its quinquennial review in March 2017. The Rectory has a large garden, five large bedrooms, 3 reception rooms with the front overlooking a park. Redecoration of the rooms used by the public is to be undertaken. The Rectory in Victoria Grove Finance St Mildred’s A copy of the accounts for this financial year is available. Tourism and weddings provide a major part of meeting the parish share and the essential maintenance costs of the buildings. Restoration work and major repairs have been covered by grants (£700K) from English Heritage and the National Lottery. The finance for the new heating system (£87K ex VAT) was raised through general fundraising. The planned giving and covenants: Gift Aid 7 Electoral roll 51 Incumbent’s expenses incurred as result of parish duties are re reimbursed against presented receipts. St James General Income The finances of St James are in good order. We have no money to spare, but we pay our way each year out of income and our parish share is met in full. General income from regular giving and collections is good; there are regular contributors; 33 in the freewill envelope offering scheme, 3 through the bank and 15 are in the gift aid scheme. A copy of the current accounts is attached at the end of this profile. Fundraising There are many fundraising events during the year, the most important financially being the Puzzle Week Festival; the profit from this has improved steadily over the years and in 2016 was over £11,000. However this does mean we now rely heavily on this event to survive financially each year. Accounts & Investments We have a Central Board of Finance (CBF) investment fund which we regard as being for a dire emergency only and a CBF deposit account which is used for repairs and general maintenance. Two current accounts are used (Lloyds and Cooperative) for day to day transactions. Charitable Giving We have a regular charity giving policy (£600 for 4 charities) and in addition there are special collections for disasters and emergencies as they arise. The electoral role is 82 Relationship of the two parishes to the wider community Membership of Churches Together in the East Cowes and Whippingham area brings both clergy and congregations from five denominations together for shared worship, Lent groups, House groups, social events and shared breakfasts.

Autumn brings a more reflective mood with several contributions reminiscing about members’ other sailing highlights of the year. Not that Scows should be put away for the winter; there are ‘frostbite’ series, New Year’s outings and those bright, clear days so refreshing with the correct clothing to which to look forward. By the way, the Association IS distinct from Scow Sections or Scow Divisions in individual clubs and embraces members from all clubs, and no Clubs, who sail LRScows.

  • Prince Philip Learned to Sail at Gordonstoun and Was a Keen Sailor for Much of His Life
    Prince Philip learned to sail at Gordonstoun and was a keen sailor for much of his life. After the Second World War he helped inspire the revival of the sport by racing regularly in small boats in the Solent with his friend Uffa Fox. In 1962 he bought the 63-foot yawl Bloodhound for cruising with the family in the Western Isles each summer, and made sure that she was used for youth sail training at other times. After selling Bloodhound he raced at Cowes Week on Owen Aisher’s yacht Yeoman. He clearly relished the informality and companionship of life on the water. The royal yacht Britannia was his headquarters during Cowes Week for more than 40 years, with guests and friends frequently invited to join him at this unique sporting festival. He hosted an annual cocktail party on board for Isle of Wight dignitaries and public servants, part of his lifelong commitment to encouraging all those who served the community in any role. The formation in the early 1960s of Cowes Combined Clubs, which created a single organising authority for the racing in Cowes Week, required the efforts of many, but Prince Philip deserves credit for putting forward the idea. As he recalls it, ‘The Royal Yacht Squadron originally ran four days in Cowes Week. Other Clubs did the other three. The result was that you had a stack of sailing instructions, and every day you had a different one, and you thought, "Have I got the right one?" And it seemed to me the right thing to do was put them all in one package.

Despite the on-going restrictions of Covid, it’s very much “business as usual” as far as the running of the Friends of Northwood Cemetery is concerned, with the Trustees continuing to hold regular monthly meetings online via ZOOM, which has proven to be highly successful. I expect many of you will have used something similar over the past few months, and to those who feel uncomfortable with modern technology, I strongly suggest you talk to a family member or friend to give you a demonstration of how easy it is and how beneficial it is to be able to keep in touch with those dear to you, particularly as we encounter another period of tighter restrictions. The Conservation Team had been continuing their Wednesday and Saturday morning sessions clearing overgrowth and tidying graves, but the latest restrictions mean we can no longer attend until further notice; however our resident historian and chief researcher, Barry Sowerby, continues to come up with interesting facts and stories, which invariably necessitates deeper research. On the 9th December, I was delighted to give our High Sheriff (Caroline Peel), who was raised in Cowes, a socially distanced guided tour of the Cemetery together with our Vice-President, Lora Peacey-Wilcox.

  • Round the Island - Sailing Today Magazine Article - July 2014 (Unabridged Version)
    Page 1 of 4 Round The Island - Sailing Today Magazine article - July 2014 (unabridged version) With thousands poised to descend on Cowes, Wight expert Peter Bruce sails 'round the island' the leisurely way. Thought is needed before leaving the protected waters of the Solent and, even more so, if a night somewhere off the south side of the Isle of Wight is planned but, given favourable conditions, the decision can be amply rewarded by the diverse and sometimes striking scenery. It is July and happily the weather looks settled, with the position of high pressure likely to produce only a light northerly easterly gradient wind, and my wife and I decide to go for a leisurely cruise around the Island aboard our well-travelled Maxi 1100, a 37ft sloop. If we are lucky enough to find flat calm we can expect a comfortable night, if there’s a bit of swell running we’ll have some roly-poly. We leave Cowes four hours before high water and, after taking advantage of the eddy off Cowes Green, we head west towards the Needles. There is only a fitful south-westerly so with the contrary east-going stream, we motor, taking a course inside Gurnard Ledge, knowing where the ledge is from the transits in Solent Hazards, and that at half tide we have enough depth to pass over the western end. This way we evade much of the strength of the tide, and once in rural Thorness Bay we drop the hook for lunch. With a draught of two metres we cannot go close to the shore, so we anchor in 4m, off Whippance Farm, some half mile to the south-west of Gurnard Head, and enjoy the views of the smiling farmland to the south.
