Whelford Social Club A small, friendly club, welcomes new members and guests What’s on - Saturday 10th March—Live Music Saturday 31st March—Live Music Plus regular Bingo on Wednesdays and Sundays Opening Hours: Wed, Fri & Sat: 8pm—12am, Sun 12pm—6pm & 8pm—11pm Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age and they tear families apart. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer... yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. There will undoubtedly be people in your local community affected by a brain tumour. You might already know who they are. They deserve our help. Becky Vines (from Shropshire) was one such person. She was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the young age of 23 years old. She was given just a year to live but, against the odds, gave birth to a daughter and survived for a further nine years. Sadly, she lost her fight against the disease and died at the age of 31. Christmas 2017 was her daughter Phoebe’s first without her Mum and the seven-year-old’s biggest hope is to raise as much money as possible to help scientists find a cure. Brain Tumour Research is a national charity striving to fund a network of dedicated research centres. We support the UK’s largest group of laboratory-based scientists progressing world- class research into brain tumours, to improve treatments, survival rates and quality of life for patients, and ultimately find a cure. We are the only national charity dedicated to research into brain tumours and campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research. We rely solely on local communities like yours and the generosity of the general public. Here are a few simple and easy things the people you represent can do to help us fund the fight 1. Take part in our Wear a Hat Day in March – the UK’s premier brain tumour research fundraising event. The event is being supported by businesswoman, model, actress, and television personality, Caprice, alongside actor and author, Sheila Hancock CBE. Since it started in 2010, Wear a Hat Day has raised well over £1 million. 2. Visit our website, find out what’s happening and take part in some of the fundraising events that are taking place in your region. 3. Spread the word by distributing some of our leaflets locally.

Most importantly, thanks must go to all of you – it has been such a joy and privilege to work among the Kempsford and Whelford communities. Everyone, without exception, has been warmly welcoming and accepting of my brief time with you, and more importantly, my lack of experience and often knowledge! It has been great to get involved with village groups and events. I have loved being involved in our wonderful church but also our school and the amazing team who do such a fabulous job with our children. Getting to know the children has been great fun and it’s been a real joy of late to start welcoming so many families to our new All Age Service (3rd Sunday of the month from 4pm). These are times when we gather together as family, enjoying fun, laughter, food and faith and generally getting to know one another. If you haven’t joined us yet, please do! We are very welcoming! Most of all I have God to thank, without whose grace and mercy I couldn’t do any of this. I have been constantly reminded in the words of St Paul that “I can (only) do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (italics – my insertion!) It is only with the strength, love and equipping of my Saviour Jesus Christ that I can serve others. I pray that in your own lives you might also trust a Saviour who loves us and only wants the best for us.

  • Flooding Update Following the Cotswold Residents' Flood Meeting
    Flooding update Following the Cotswold residents’ flood meeting on the 5th March, I will now provide an update including information we have received from the various stakeholders and agencies and a selection of answers we have received to questions from constituents if you are interested. Now the summer months are upon us we expect tangible progress to be made with all the agencies working together. It is vital that if we have heavy rainfall next winter the Cotswolds is properly prepared, and we do not have a repeat of last winter. The winters do appear to be getting consistently wetter, so this seems to be a problem which is not going to go away which makes it all the more urgent of an issue. I also plan to visit areas to see for myself what work has been carried out and where more needs to be done before the next flood meeting in October so I have a real sense and evidence of what progress has been achieved or not. We will be providing another newsletter in a few weeks where we will ask the agencies and stakeholders for another progress report. If you would like any further information or if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] Highways update from Bob Skillern, Area Highways Manager (East), Highways Commissioning, Gloucestershire County Council: ‘The Highway network is the most valuable asset that the County Council manages, maintains and providing a safe, resilient, functioning network is at the core of the Council’s responsibility as a Highway Authority.

    2 In memory of Jeffrey Martin Whittock (1927–2013), much-loved and respected father and papa. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people provided valuable advice which assisted in the preparation of this book; without them, of course, carrying any responsibility for the interpretations offered by the book. We are particularly indebted to our agent Robert Dudley who, as always, offered guidance and support, as did Simon Hamlet and Mark Beynon at The History Press. In addition, Bradford-on-Avon library, and the Wiltshire and the Somerset Library services, provided access to resources through the inter-library loans service. For their help and for this service we are very grateful. Through Hannah’s undergraduate BA studies and then MPhil studies in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) at Cambridge University (2008–12), the invaluable input of many brilliant academics has shaped our understanding of this exciting and complex period of history, and its challenging sources of evidence. The resulting familiarity with Old English, Old Norse and Insular Latin has greatly assisted in critical reflection on the written sources. As always, the support and interest provided by close family and friends cannot be measured but is much appreciated. And they have been patient as meal-time conversations have given way to discussions of the achievements of Alfred and Athelstan, the impact of Eric Bloodaxe and the agendas of the compilers of the 4 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 5 CONTENTS Title Dedication Acknowledgements Introduction 1 The Gathering

You will find three able and enthusiastic PCCs and good supportive people with whom to work. The South Cotswolds Team comprises some 15 parishes and 22 churches stretching from Ampney Crucis, near Cirencester in the west to Lechlade in the east; and from Castle Eaton in the south to Winson in the north. We have four stipendiary clergy and one house-for- duty clergy; two SSM priest colleagues, one of whom has recently moved into Meysey Hampton, a number of Readers - including one based at Kempsford; and supportive retired clergy colleagues. We also have a full-time Youth Worker. We are working hard on what it means to be a ‘Team’ across a large area – the South Cotswolds - and how we use our skills, gifts and opportunities together in building the kingdom of God here in this place. The good news is that members of the Team get on really well together and we enjoy working with each other! We believe in supporting each other and having fun – along with all the other things we have to do. You will be a key member of our Team.

Your proposals will split Lechlade unnaturally since at the moment the Wern development is actually part of the town of Lechlade and within its natural boundary. Fairford also loses its integrity as a complete town. Kempsford thus becomes a mish mash rather than an integral community in its own right and therefore cannot have its iinterests properly presented.
