June - St Boniface Church
June 2010 Published free by St. Boniface Church for all in the parishes of Bunbury and Tilstone Fearnall Wheels of mill progress grind slowly The wheels of the mill have been grinding exceedingly slowly but we have made some progress! We have met a representative from United Utilities and they like our proposal for the community now they have to get the agreement of their Board. The value of the mill is being assessed for insurance purposes and the Trustees are ready to act as soon as we receive the nod. enormous ash tree is resplendent in front of the mill stream and is estimated to be between 300 to 400 years old. A wildlife expert has been surveying the land and discovered a fritillary which although it does grow in our gardens has not been recorded growing wild in Cheshire before. An We hope to have a stall at Village Day and look forward to seeing you there. Alison Black for the Mill Committee Bunbury Village Day Saturday 19th June Parade leaves 12:30 from St Boniface Competitions get an entry form from the Bunbury shops! www.bunburyvillage.info This was the view from Stanner Nab on the St. Boniface Ascension Day Walk Beeston Fete to welcome vintage cars and drive back late afternoon, chatting to anyone interested during the day at the fete and enjoying the sunshine and entertainment! Preparations for the Fete are well under way! This year, if there is enough support, the organisers are considering a display of classic and sports cars which are owned or based locally. There is no defintion of classic, or sports, but you will know if you have one!

On 2nd May Anthony Kaufmann and Pauline Clegg of Handbridge were married, and on 7th May the marriage of Neil and Claire Moffatt took place in the Ridley Chapel. Many happy returns to Steve Mulcahy whose significant birthday we missed last month. Well done Barbara Croley for being married to Ernest for 30 years - you would get much less for murder these days (only joking Ernest). Kath Roden has contacted us to thank friends, parents and teachers of Bunbury School for their lovely gifts she received at her recent retirement. “Thank you all for your generosity and good wishes”. Kath is now looking forward to a well-earned rest and a cruise to Dubrovnik. To see Kath’s special portrait see p.5. We are sad to report the death of Audrey Bate on 7th May, much loved mother of Sandra, Jean, Keith and Tony, Nan to Christopher, Nicholas and Heidi and loving Great-Nan of Saffron and Lauren. Other obituaries on p8. Bunbury’s new café, “Tillys”, whose opening has been keenly awaited, is now open for business. All the best to everyone involved. Thanks to all those who contributed to the Gwalior Orphanage Appeal. Laura and Katie have been able to double their contribution to the charity through your donations and other fundraising including bag packing at Sainsbury’s. Bunbury School will also be donating the proceeds of a nonuniform day at the end of term. Thanks to John from Beeston Castle Peregrine Watch for the spectacular photo taken from Stanner Nab (p1).

Email lucykmunro@hotmail.com 2 We’ve all done it…... At last, the conversation ends and we can go home to those we trust and say what we really feel. We can express the unfairness and the hurt. To explain our true feelings helps us to regain the status we feel has been crushed. In these situations, we long for an accepting friend to hear and agree with us. Did Gordon Brown lose the election because of the incident with Mrs Duffy in Rochdale? Microphones are a wonderful invention for the hard of hearing and those with quiet speaking voices, but they are humiliating and rather terrible when they disclose the secrets of our hearts. Indeed, the footage of Mr Brown hearing what he had said seemed to portray a man’s political career leaving his body. It is good just to be able to have our say and be heard. And what is wrong with that? We have all done it haven’t we? And surely there is nothing wrong with that, providing it does not become public. Many years ago, I conducted a wedding service as a curate in York. It was one of those progressive churches that used microphones attached to one’s clothing! Some would say that approach is wrong, deceitful, two-faced. They would say it is not right to appear friendly to someone and then privately call them names. They condemn those who are two-faced. When it came to signing the register, the happy couple and I went into the vestry. I knew them very well, so felt able to moan about the appalling singing and grumpy faces of their guests. And then I remember the hundreds of times I have felt the same, done the same, because I needed the comfort of someone telling me it is okay for me to feel that way, that I cannot always get it right. Suddenly, the vestry door flew open and a red-faced warden rushed in and ripped the modern device from my cassock. Yes, it had been on, and everyone had heard me. I later met a fellow curate who told a similar tale about taking a service following a Saturday night of Guinness and curry. Not feeling well, he whispered to his vicar that he needed to nip off to the loo. He returned to a round of applause. The humiliating terror is when our secrets are exposed. There are always certain people with whom we seldom agree: those with whom sharing a conversation can make us feel humiliated, wrong-footed, unfairly criticised and questioned. (John 8 vs 1 11) An adulterous woman was brought before Jesus by an excitable group of accusers. They explained to Jesus that the woman had been caught and should be stoned, according to Moses’ law. Jesus bent to the ground and started to write in the sand. He wrote the names of the accusers and dates that would embarrass them. ‘Jesus said “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her”. One by one, they each walked away, the older ones leaving first’. The unfortunate microphone incident involving Gordon Brown, and the subsequent public humiliation and criticism bring to mind a bible story We try to behave with politeness and dignity, generously agreeing with them as far as we can through gritted teeth. We answer their questions about things we feel passionate – fox hunting, Christians not wearing faith symbols for fear of upset etc. The conversation drags on and we get more and more annoyed, but somehow manage to keep our cool. Rick Hollywood This summer’s holiday club at St. Boniface for primary school aged children is called the “Hollywood Club”. It will run from 26th-29th July with a family service and BBQ on the evening of 29th. Registration forms will be available from 14th June via local schools, As always we rely on having enough adults’ and teenagers’ help to make the Holiday Club run smoothly. If you think that you would be able to help at all either before or during the week’s activities please contact Laura. laurawarrington@googlemail.com or Debbie Shears akaroanz@hotmail.com or on 260707. This photo, taken with a fish eye lens, shows the St. Boniface bell ringers hard at work for Natalie Parker’s wedding, and very unusually, the bride was one of the ringers. 3 June at St. Jude’s A recent addition to the grounds of the Church Hall is a small memorial to those members of Tilstone Fearnall Women’s Institute who are no longer with us. The main feature of this memorial is the rose bush, whose variety, ‘Tea and Jerusalem’ was especially developed for the W.I. Although the idea for the founding of the W.I. did not originate in this country, nevertheless the organisation has become a major force for good in the social life of the country, and long may it continue. It is with great sadness that we report the passing of another of St. Jude’s faithful: Margaret Colley, who was a lifelong member of our congregation and with husband Roland was in church every Sunday. We shall miss them both dearly. On a happier note, it is pleasing to note that Michael Morgan-Wynne is making excellent progress towards full health after his recent membership of the ‘walking wounded’ brigade. So keep up the good work, Michael, and in no time you will be dancing the fandango!

Rumour has it that the concert will include just a hint of Gilbert and Sullivan – what a ‘Joy of Joys’ that will be! You are strongly advised to book early as tickets are bound to be in great demand. On the topic of music, congratulations to three local girls who successfully passed their recent piano exams: Well done to Lydia Wilson (Preparatory), Kitty Horsman (Grade 2, passed with distinction) and Krushika Paleja (Grade 3, merit). Finally, another reminder of the next event in the mad, social whirl in the life of our church – the Summer Lunch will this year be held in the Church Hall and grounds on June 27th. Rough winds did indeed ‘shake the darling buds of May’, but we are sure to have good weather in June – at least I hope so! Bob Gardner Bunbury Explorers are out in force this summer. Well over forty youngsters are taking part in practice hikes and expeditions as part of their Duke of Edinburgh awards. The four girls here had just finished their bronze level overnight expedition and hike around Whitchurch, finishing at Marbury. Well done to all taking part and especially to the leaders for their organisation and care. 4 Lots going on at Bunbury School competition to decorate a model rhino. About 70 large, and 100 smaller rhinos have been issued to schools and community groups in our area, intended to raise awareness of conservation issues and showcase our area’s artistic talents. They will be on show throughout Chester from early July to September. (For more information visit www.rhinomania.co.uk). Y6 completed their week of SATs exams, and celebrated with a street party based on those held on VE Day sixty-five years ago. As you can see in our photo, teacher Mrs King, helper Mrs James and the children dressed in authentic costumes and enjoyed a slapup tea of spam sandwiches, jelly and Victoria sponge cake, before taking to the dance floor to the strains of the Chatanooga Choo Choo. A welldeserved treat. They are now busy working on an ambitious musical production for the end of term. Pupil members of the school’s Eco committee accompanied Mrs Crotty and children from Tarporley High School and other local primaries for a fact-finding day at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth, mid-Wales. It was a cold, wet day but there was a lot to see and plenty of ideas to bring back to our schools. On Monday May 24th the school’s Eco and gardening groups invited parents and friends to join them for afternoon tea and to buy some of the bedding plants they have been growing over the past months. This event was so successful last year that it funded the school’s gardening activities for the whole year: let’s hope this year we are as well supported. It was a sad afternoon when the school had to say goodbye to dinner ladies Ann and Kath, with more than a few of the adults shedding a tear – but fortunately Ellie Maddock-James, Y1, was on hand with her marvellous portrait of Kath to cheer everyone up. Apparently she had kept popping into the kitchens to make sure she was getting it just right, and as you see, her efforts paid off. Year 1 has been learning about baptism, and Ellie was the centre of attention again just a week later, when she was baptised by Rick in a special assembly at the school. Her parents and big brothers came to school to share this special occasion. Well done to Lewis Neal, Y5, whose Mexican-inspired design won the school Books for Cambodia challenge start my fundraising efforts with a book Bunbury’s Shan McParland writes: “In November 2011 I will be taking part in a challenge like no other I have done before. I will be travelling to Vietnam, climbing onto a bike and cycling 400km into Cambodia to raise funds for the 'Women for Women' chaired by Professor Robert Winston which funds groundbreaking research into conditions affecting women and their babies such as premature birth, stillbirths, genetic disorders and cancer. I have to raise £3000 and will sale at Bunbury Village Day. Please donate any used books in good condition to help me raise as much as possible for this amazing charity. Books can be delivered to my house - 19 Darkie Meadow, Bunbury or contact me on 261424 and I will collect them. If you would like to sponsor me any donations would be gratefully received.” www.justgiving.com/Shan-McParland 5 Saturday 5th June 8.00pm Bunbury Village Hall A night of music & dancing featuring local band ‘OFF THE WALL’ Tickets only £3.00 Jo Perry 260500 Bar profits in aid of the Gwalior hospital charity, india Give us two minutes - Andy Lawrence 5. Where did you meet your partner? Lucy and I were at Tarporley School together and travelled on the same bus, although we didn’t get together until 1987 when we met at the Rendezvous club in Chester. Andy was born on the 12th June 1962 at 15, Church Row, Bunbury, the youngest of four children of parents Jack and Edith. The others are David, Mandy and Richard. His mother died in 1998, but Jack still lives in Hurst Court, Bunbury. Andy went to Bunbury School and then to Tarporley High School. After leaving in 1978 he studied at Dane Bank College, then started work at NWF in the warehouse. In 1984 he joined Rolls-Royce at Crewe and is now in his 26th Year of service. 6. What is your biggest regret in life? Not working hard enough at school. 7. And what is your biggest success? My family, I think I’ve been really lucky to have such a close one. 8. If you could change something about Bunbury, what would it be? Compulsory early doors on Friday evenings! 9. What is one thing about you that people may be surprised to learn? I’m a keen Coronation Street fan. 10. What would you like to achieve most in the next 12 months? I’ve two cycle rides to complete this year for charity, one is the Manchester 100 and the other is the Manchester to Blackpool 60 mile ride. 1. If you had a motto, what would it be? Count me in! 2. It’s a celebrity beer call. Where is it and who do you invite and why? The Hole in the wall pub, Bowness-onWindermere. Guests would be Sir Alex Ferguson, Billy Connolly and Severiano Ballesteros. These are people I admire and would love to spend time with, discussing what motivates them to keep pushing for successes, I’m sure Billy could keep us all laughing and Seve could tell me what it’s like to walk up the 18th in the Open, I can feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck just thinking about it. 11. If you were granted one wish, what would it be? That both my kids (Sam and Kate) have a happy and successful life. 3. What would the title of your biography be called? I can’t see it happening! (Due to being very pessimistic). 13. Where and how would you spend your ideal weekend? Anywhere, so long as I’m surrounded by friends, having a laugh and drinking some real ale. 12. Where is your favourite place, and why? The Lake District. We have a few friends who live there, so we visit quite often and there’s nothing better than a stroll on the fells (although my kids wouldn’t agree), with a couple of pints of Hawkshead Gold at the end of it. 4. What was your first job? Warehouse man at NWF. Burn out Exhaustion is all too common these days as we try to cram ever more into our lives. Maybe you are in the middle of exams, or juggling a job and a family, or caring for someone who is ill. Taking time out seems a luxury we can’t afford. Yet, if we don’t, we will burn out, and be no use to anyone. Watch how Jesus did it. In the middle of his draining and demanding ministry, he often retreated to be alone with God, his heavenly Father, to pray, to rest and gather his strength. In that familiar encounter with the Samaritan woman, John chapter 4, Jesus was tired and sat down by the well, giving himself permission to stop and simply “be”. In that place of rest, Jesus was able to talk to the woman, and change her life. Who do you turn to when you need a break? I am tired, Lord. Too tired to think, Too tired to pray, Too tired to do anything. I have lost my zest for life. Help me to be still, To stop and marvel At the beauty of your world around me. To rest in you, To be refreshed, To have the strength to carry on, Knowing you are there beside me. Amen Pat Edgley Knit and natter needs more knitters We began the Knit and Natter group, open to anyone who could knit or natter, last October, and lots of people were keen to join. Sadly numbers have dropped - maybe due to the better weather? This is just to remind you where and when we meet and assure you of a warm welcome. Our aim is to meet in fellowship, and job descriptions are as follows, knitters, natterers, tea makers, perhaps someone to read a poem whilst we take a break from nattering, someone to help sew all our finished squares into a blanket. We also have some patterns for Knit for Africa. The large blankets we make are sold at open air music festivals, where young people forget that it might get cold at night. The money raised from these sales goes to Oxfam. We meet on the third Tuesday of the month, at 2.30 at Bunbury Methodist Church. Next meeting is 15th June. Barbara Croley 260344 6 Stories worth hearing Eric Wallington Don’t you just love a good story? For most of us, I’m sure, it’s been like that since we were very young, begging to be told a story at bedtime, looking to be read to until we were able to read for ourselves and open up the world of stories. Maybe nowadays you like to curl up with a book or maybe you’re a telly addict and desperate never to miss an episode of your favourite soap opera. Whatever, any story must have a beginning, a middle and an end, (although soap operas seem to avoid any ending). With any luck, the story has a plot that develops and keeps you wanting to learn more, with believable characters and an interesting setting. Stories do play a significant part in our learning about life. Jesus told many stories. We usually call them ’parables’ and they’ve been described, generally, as ‘earthly stories with heavenly meanings’. Most people will know of the parables of the prodigal son and of the good Samaritan. In fact the Gospels include more than eighty such parables. Jesus went out of his way to explain the purpose of the parable stories. He preferred to teach by telling a memorable story, because somehow people seemed more able to accept new ideas though imaginative and challenging fiction, rather than by way of exhortation or reproof. Sometimes the stories begin or end with a question such as ‘What do you think?’ In that way they force listeners and readers to make up their own minds about the characters and what they do, and thereby judge our own actions. Jesus’ first hearers might well have thought that some of his stories were ridiculous – but then perhaps, as they reflected on the story, they would stop laughing, realising that their own behaviour was just as ridiculous as any satirised in the parable. Yes, we all love a good story. It’s been said that the legacy of the Ancient Greek civilisation lies in the Greek myths, because the stories survived even when the science might have been forgotten. The teachings of Jesus will last through his parables, provided that whenever we hear or read one we ask ourselves, ‘What does that say about me?’ – reflect and respond. Confusion, panic and cross-dressing as usual up extremely well for her customary glamorous role as Italian siren, Gina, joined by Ian Langford as co-lodger undertaker Clive. He never fails to steal the show with his hilarious expressions and comedy timing (although in this one he got “stiff” competition from Mrs French). Every time my wife Jacqui takes part in a Good Companions production, I feel sure she’s heading for a sanatorium. Various tones of speech and screech coming from a kitchen that’s empty but for her and she’s not even talking on the phone… This time she even started calling me Tom… ‘Dying to meet you’ – the well known AngloItalian-cross-dressingfuneral farce. Frankly the authors missed a few tricks with this very fertile topic but a well done to the cast for making the production truly amusing. did quite well but the audience was really quiet and it made us really nervous”. It’s interesting hearing the ‘behind the scenes’ reports each night. First night: “We did really well tonight – no mistakes except for me fluffing at the end. Audience was quietly amused but that was OK”. Second night: “We made loads of mistakes.The audience was really noisy and it completely freaked us out. Denis Clauson and Tony Burrows in the front row guffawing loudly – even before the first joke….” Final night: “We Chris Green, suitably downtrodden as Richard with the perfect foil Jo Perry as wife Barbara held the core of the play brilliantly – a TV sitcom couple. Jacqui French recalled Dorian from “Birds of the Feather” as the man-eating Beryl. The outfits and hair! Jim Walker as Tom, her frustrated middle aged husband, provided one of the highlights with the way he transformed just as he got that dress and wig on! Mairi Harris brushed 7 Who wouldn’t wish for a tax inspector as sexy as Melody Burrows? (I think it was the glasses….) Certainly Jonathan Morris as the sinister Italian Don, Luciano, made a meal of his centre-stage clinches! Derek didn’t look too amused and ironically it’s rumoured there’s now a contract out on Mr Morris following those scenes. Well done everyone – actors and backstage – on yet another successful show. The next production’s a murder mystery by John Headon about his Church Minshull neighbours: I reckon it’s likely to be a “camp corker”. Dave French Gladys Hickson - travelled the world and his men to continue to make the most of any good weather that farms are so dependent on. Except for working the fields, Gladys did everything else, as well as bringing up their two boys. Julian Hickson remembers his Grandma; ‘Gladys was married to Cliff and as a farming wife was the cornerstone of a couple who built a very successful and innovative farming business (at Barton Moss Farm near Eccles). Her part in this team included keeping all the staff fed and watered at the busy seed times and harvests, as well as chasing up and down the motorways for spare machinery parts that would allow Cliff You may remember Gladys as a very smart lady who drove a Hillman California open-topped sports car – this in an era when few women drove – and no one is sure if she ever needed to take a driving test. She had lots of friends and always kept open house: she was always cooking and entertaining. My aunt recalls further memories of her – how pretty she was, how she loved nice clothes and flowers – and how she knew her own mind. Both Cliff and Gladys were adventurous and in their younger days toured the Continent in a Jensen Interceptor. Later they travelled the world and paid several visits to Australia. Vivid memories for me are Grandma in her early retirement on the beach at Anglesea, having picnics and spraying Charlotte and me with water in the hot summers. We had great times with lots of laughter, fun and games. These times were markedly different from later years when she had her first stroke and Cliff became her main carer. For a time their lifelong roles changed, until Cliff was tragically killed in a road accident. Gladys spent her last years at Oaklands Nursing Home, frail and entirely reliant on others for her every need, often not knowing visiting friends and family. Unfortunately her son John was unable to make the long journey to her funeral from Australia due to his own ill health. My father, her son Colin, has devotedly cared for her to the end. Gladys would have been delighted to know that another great grandchild is on the way- it’s strange how the circle of life continues.’ Allan Stockton - always loved, never forgotten He always enjoyed a pint or two at the Crewe Arms (now the Yew Tree) and at the Dysart where he played darts. Allan was born in Bunbury 77 years ago. He had two brothers, Cliff, now sadly deceased, and Jack. Like all of his generation he did three years national service from 1951, joining the Armoured Corps and the Queen’s Boys. Allan met and married Joyce at Bickerton Church in 1962, and they went on to have a son, Robert. Sadly Joyce died in 1982. He had a keen interest in motor sports, attending Isle of Man TT Races in the late 50s and 60s, and he also enjoyed watching Formula 1 and Moto Grand Prix. He supported Manchester United FC and worked at Stockwall Transport driving milk tankers, but by 1991 his health was failing and he retired. A stroke brought him into hospital for the final four weeks, sadly unable to communicate. Son Robert wrote: “I never got the chance to say goodbye at the very end but I know you knew Sarah and I were with you all night. When we left hospital you put your arm around me - that is something I will never forget……..Over the years we had good and bad times but we saw each other through. You will be sadly missed, always loved and never forgotten.” Mobile spray tanning Private to your home Look good, feel great before you hit the beach Young diners enjoying the Indian Banquet at Tarporley High School Curry Night.
