A Letter frsrn your Editor
Hi ali,
Whether it's long sunny days or sharp showers and
thunderstorms that you prefer, a typical British summer has it covereei.
For most of us there's always the expectation that $umr'ler will be filiecj
with long, hot. lazy days and sunshine from dawn to dusk. The
anticipation of trips io the beach and getting the barbeque out can almoi:t
be better than the real thingl Alas it's usually more often showers than
sunshine and ihis year is shaping up to be no different. Not surprisingli;
the forecasts are predicting summer to be changeable and unsettled..
.
That said, it hasn't stopped many of us getting out to take part in our locai
village events over the last few mr:nths from fetes, to Queen's birthday
parties, to ihe Open Gardens event and I ha';e been struck by the vibrant
sense of comnrunity spir"it and pride, shining examples of involvemen'i
and commitments shared across the generations.
ln fact, it is astouncjing how many hours are put into all soris of
community groups and activiiies in our vil[ages each week, inrproving
every aspect of village life, and quite often with little recognition.
I wouid therefore like to dedicate this page to allthe hard working
volunteers that have helped our l,iliages become great places to live,
work and visit and look fonruard to many more events and making neli"r
acquaintancesl
Have a great rest of ihe summer.

There changes are sel lo have iar reaching efiects personally, localiy and

And that includes all of us in the Claypoie Benefice. We all have a eontribution we can rnake hy
being genercus, welcoming, supportive and ercouraging to each other * part!cularly those whose
future is uncertain following the vcte. This uncertainty could be because the ccmpany they wr:rk
for has projects which rely on LU import and export, or maybe the staff with the expertise
needed are from within the tU or simply because their business is dependent on customers from
tU countries. lt may be that many o{ us going on holiday this 5umme r will feel the financial
effects of the wcak pound.

Change can be scary and make us anxious but we can aiso choose
tc embrace the challenges it
brings and see it as an opportunitY rather than an obstacle.

attended the CLAYPOLE OPEN GARDENS AND
SCARECROW TRAIL ON SUNDAY 3rd JULY.
Another great result this year as we raised f880 for

Opening their gardens; supplying straw for
scarecrows; making scarecrows; allowing scarecrows
to be placed in front gardens; baking cakes to sell;
supplying plants and chutneys to sell; running stalls and serving tea and cakes;
and generally helping where needed. Thanks to all of you this was another
successful and fun event enjoyed by our community......Well Done!

It is important that all residents have their say. The Parish Council has arranged
this meeting to inform residents of what is proposed and to give you an
opportunity to comment.

The recent and briiliant Claypole Open Gardens ard Scarecrow Trail
(thanks to Latrice and team) seemed to attract a lot of interest and made
me think about other rnodel making opportunities beyond rnaking
scarecrows.
Amongst the highlights of a visit to Windsor Castle is Queen Nlary's
Dolls' House, the largest, most beautitul and most famous dolls' ho,;se in
the world. Built for Queen Mary by the leading British architect Sir
Edwin Lutyens betwecn 1921 and i924, this most magical of residences
is a perfect replica in miniature of an aristocratic home. The house is
fiiied with thousands of objects rnade by leading artists, designers aud
cratlsmen, nearly all on the tiny scale of 1:12.

gigairtic r:rodel railway next tc an incredibly realistic ariniature airpoft.
The aiq:*rt terminal is camplete with tiny people, rnoving jet bridges and
aircra{l parked at the gates. And these airliners actually laxi across the
field to a rurway before taking off and "flying" away through a hole ir:
the wali, returting to lai:d at the other e:rd of the roor:r. The airport,
rvhich opeued in 2011 after six years olccnstructiot, is a jaw*droppitg

will then lalk about frauduletrt activity on thc acconnt and that an investigatiou is
nngoit:g. To enstlre that the accotult is not accessed the caller advises rhe victim to
withdraw their mouey from {he bank fr:r colierctiotr by a poiice or bank representarive or
will give details ibr
a 'saf,c' account to transf"er the accouni balanc* inro.
To give a false imprcssion thc cal1er v.riil r:ften asli the victirn to hang up and call either
