Dear Readers,
It is a pleasure to welcome you back to this new
year, and hello to those who are viewing this on line!
As St Peter’s is coming to the end of an era saying goodbye to Margaret
Marsh, it looks as if Christchurch is beginning one with a possible new
leader in sight.
With Margaret’s last service on the 1st, St Peter’s goes into a period of
vacancy until the position is filled. This could take a while but in the
meantime it is you, the reader, who can help to support and maintain
St Peter’s to the standard that it has been brought up to and maintained
over the last 10years with Margaret as Priest in Charge.
In this edition there are many examples that give the sense of community
within this village and I would like to draw your attention especially to the
Walton in Bloom message. More information on that next month.
I do hope you have a good month and keep warm!
Ruth

from St Peter’s
How wonderful it was to celebrate Christmas with such joy.
St Peter’s was packed at all the services, and you can see the
photos of the Nativity in the centrefold pages. What was
particularly remarkable was the numbers who attended the
Crib Service. When we got to over 300 adults, Bill Oliphant
stopped counting, so with the children we must have had at
least 400 in total! In fact, 836 adults and 271 children attended over Christmas, and
people say that Christianity is no longer relevant! I will remember this Christmas at
St Peter’s with very fond memories indeed.
We sent all our Christmas collections, which amounted to a generous £1,723.89,
to Coram, the UK children’s charity that has been supporting vulnerable children for
275 years, and now helps a million children and young people every year, including
those who have been abused.
Our Christmas fund raising events meant that our fund raising total for the year was
in excess of £2,750, an amazing amount. Our appreciation and thanks to the May
Pageant Committee for their incredible support and hard work organising the
Christmas Craft Fair, including the ‘raffle run’ selling a huge number of Christmas
Hamper Raffle tickets. Thank you also to all whose contributions filled three delicious
hampers.
A great ‘first’ was the Choir CD, which was produced with some very hard work by
both the choir and Phil Morton, our organist and choirmaster, but was also great fun
to do. And thank you to Philip Ide for his professional Choir Photograph which was
put on the CD cover, on mugs and was also sold adding to the total. I have a
treasured framed copy.
As I come to leave as your parish priest, I know that many of you have realised what
a wonderful husband I have in Charlie. You all know by now my many irritating ways
and I’m sure that you have often wondered, like me, how Charlie puts up with it.
Well, it seems at last he has received proper recognition. At the Junior Choir
pantomime visit he was pronounced as ‘Saint Charlie’, to much cheering from the
choir! Apparently 29th December will now always be officially St Charlie’s Day! You
can see his picture with ‘Muddles’ together with Olivia Ide’s description of the day.
I do hope as many of you as possible with be coming to St Peter’s at 10.30 am on
Sunday 1st February, and afterwards at The Riddell Hall for a bit of a ‘do’. I will try to
keep my emotions under control, but can’t promise!
In the meantime, you may know that Catherine and Frederick Patten went to
Australia for Christmas to see their new grandson. We are very concerned to hear
that Frederick has been taken ill so they are unable to fly home at present. We offer
all our love and support to them both at this worrying time.
This means that Neil Williams is, for the time being, our lone churchwarden, which is
a daunting prospect for him as there is so much to be done during the vacancy.
All possible help and support that can be offered to Neil will be very much
appreciated by him, so do please do all you can to help ease the burden over the
next few months.
I hope to see you on Sunday 1st and I will be reflecting on the past ten years at
St Peter’s and Walton in the March Magazine. In the meantime thank you for making
it such a very special time for both me and my saint of a husband!
Margaret
PS—have you seen our new St Peter’s website?—it’s great! Many thanks to Ruth
for doing such a good job!

Yvonne Post
29 January 1925 – 7 January 2015
It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that our mother, Yvonne Post,
died on 7 January 2015. The family are thankful that she passed away peacefully at home,
where she wanted to be, and had family and friends around her when she died - and a cat on
her lap.
Our Mum had deep religious beliefs and did not fear death, as she knew she was going to a
better place and would be reunited with our Dad. We all miss her desperately, but are extremely thankful to have had her in our lives for so long.
Her funeral will be on Wednesday 4 February:
St Peters Church, Breech Lane, Walton on the Hill, KT20 7SD – 12.30 pm Funeral Service.
Randalls Park Crematorium, Leatherhead, KT22 0AG - 2.00 pm Cremation.
We will then celebrate her life at The Grumpy Mole, Dorking Road, Tadworth, KT20 5RX
from 3.00 pm.
We hope that you will join us for any or all of the above 3 happenings.
Our Mum’s wishes were that if you were thinking of sending flowers, please instead
consider making a donation to the St Peter’s Church fund - which can be sent ‘care of
Stonemans’ to the address below.
However, if you did want to send flowers, the Undertaker is:

What Happened to THE BOYS BRIGADE?
Many residents of Walton can remember the B.B. Some
even were Members, part of a nationwide youth movement.
The Walton unit known as a Company operated from 1941-1975 attached to Christchurch.
The B.B. originally formed in Glasgow in 1883 by William Smith. It was formed to
counteract various ‘’boys gangs’’ which were getting out of hand. A voluntary movement
sponsored by churches. Using the ‘tools’ available at the time. They were the ‘’Twin Pillars’’
of Religion and Discipline. Bible Class on Sundays, weekly Parades, Drilling, Physical,
Activities, Music (bands) and Camping etc. SURE AND STEADFAST is their motto. This to
guide boys towards ‘Christiam Manliness’. It was not always successful , but the mark of
the B.B has helped many boys.
The B.B spread throughout the U.K. and Commonwealth Countries. By 1905, there were
B.B members around Poole in Dorset able to supply 50% of the original camp on Brownsea
Island, which was the starting point for the Scouts. The B.B still function world wide.
In 1941 the B.B reached Walton. Mr George Tremain moved to Tadworth. Being a Baptist,
he joined the Congregational Church-it was a free church. Having been a B.B member in his
previous church he has the knowledge of the drill, P.T bands and Sunday school work plus
tremendous enthusiasm. He also served in the first World War. The Walton Company was
later joined by The Girls’ Brigade. Young people from around Walton joined. In its prime,
The Band led monthly Church Parades, met twice weekly for other activities and annual
camps.
In 1975, the Company amalgamated with the Ashtead group and in the Millennium year a
short history of the B.B time in Walton was deposited in the Surrey archives.

MONTHLY CLASSIC FILM
REVIEW
Vertigo (1958)
Hi everybody, hope you are all well and had a fabulous Christmas and new year! It
seems odd to ask that, it seems so long ago!
Today I’m going to be reviewing one of the most historic examples of manipulation,
obsession and dramatization ever addressed in film from one of the world’s most
prominent directors whose name is synonymous with thriller and fear, yes the
legend that is Mr. Alfred Hitchcock.
This film is ultimately a thriller and one used to evoke fear and terror into the
audience member, something that Hitchcock never fails to achieve. As he once
famously quoted ‘I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would
immediately be looking for a body in the coach.’ And ultimately he is right. What is
interesting to perceive though is Hitchcock, especially in ‘Vertigo’, wrote murder
scenes like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes. What I adore about this
film is that it achieves a very different ‘aftertaste’ (for lack of a better word!) in the
audience members mind. I am a large believer that a good film should always
change your life in some way. Not that you walk out of the cinema a reformed
character, but it should alter your state of mind and make you analyse the decisions
we make in our own lives and a writers expression of consequence. (A cheaper
version of therapy!) Vertigo is marketed as a typical Hitchcock movie, but yet it
provides a very different look on the effects of desire, pain and false tragedy. This
will become clearer when I dictate the plot line. Hitchcock dramatically represents
the harshest examples of love and what it drives his characters to perpetrate.
Police detective John 'Scottie' Ferguson played by James Stewart is asked by an old
college friend, Gavin Elster, if he would have a look into his wife Madeleine's (Kim
Novak) strange behavior.
Elster is under the belief his wife believes that she is the reincarnation of a distant
relative who died many years ago and Elster is concerned about her sanity. Scottie,
although skeptical, agrees to follow her. After a few days of pursuing her he rescues
her from an apparent suicide attempt when she jumps into San Francisco bay. He
gets to know her and they fall in love. They go to an old mission church and he is
unable to stop her from climbing to the top of the steeple, owing to his vertigo,
where she jumps to her death.
Tortured by the event and consumed with guilt an inquest confirms that Madeleine
did commit suicide, Scottie is committed to an asylum as he is unable to cope with
the grief. Several months later, whilst walking he meets Judy Barton, a woman who
is the spitting image of Madeleine. She is a brunette and has a very different
fashion style, but she is identical to the woman who died. He tries to re-make her
into Madeleine's image by getting her to dye her hair and wear the same type of
clothes. He soon begins to realize however that he has been duped and was a pawn
in a complex piece of theatre that was meant to end in tragedy. Elster had in fact
hired Judy to play his wife so he would not be discovered for murdering the ‘real
Madeleine’. Judy out of love for Scottie agrees to allow him to turn her back into
the woman she played and Scottie out of obsession manipulates her into changing
everything about herself, but when he asks her to run back up the bell tower so he
can recreate the event, but this time save her, will history repeat itself?
The films focus on the mental effect this façade has on James Stewart’s character
results in a tragic stream of events that leaves the audience member reeling.
Hitchcock’s dramatic portrayal of the mind and love so deep people are willing to
sacrifice their identities gives the audience such a tragic insight into the
consequence of such a piece of theatre. Kim Novak I believe was perfectly cast in
this film. She has a haunting beauty that commands the screen, a desperate
necessity in this film, as the character does not speak until a third of the way into
the movie. Alongside James Stewart we see a real contrast and that is wonderful to
see on screen. Although we often associate James Stewart with Alfred Hitchcock,
Hitchcock was embittered at the critical and commercial failure of the film in 1958.
He blamed this on James Stewart for "looking too old" to attract audiences any
more. Hitchcock never worked with Stewart, previously one of his favorite
collaborators, again, Hitchcock also believed that Kim Novak was miscast in the role,
but I do feel she brings a haunt to it that a star like Marilyn Monroe (probably
because of her great stardom) could not achieve.
‘Vertigo’ exhibits some of the finest examples of cinematography and dramatic plot
lines, ever demonstrated on screen, but I do believe the true success of this film is
the ability to convey such a startling story, and leave all words unsaid, said.
‘There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.’ – Alfred Hitchcock

Walton on the Hill WI
With Christmas and New Year festivities behind us we embark on another W.I. year. Our
first meeting of 2015 was a sale of surplus gifts which is always good fun and very popular,
followed by a talk by one of our members who told us all about her exciting life at Elizabeth
Arden. (see below)
Our February meeting, on the 12th will be a talk by Mr Rupert Matthews on R.A.F. Heroes in
Surrey. If you would like to join us you will be most welcome.( 2,30pm at The Riddell Hall)
We wish all our readers A Very Happy New Year.
Zena Hodgkison
After the official part of the Walton’s W.I meeting was concluded, the speaker for January
was Judy Wood who gave a very good talk about her career at Elizabeth Arden. Judy spoke
about joining the family hairdressing business in Harrogate but realised she wanted a
change. Judy successfully applied to Elizabeth Arden in London and made her way to start a
six-week course to her new career. Although she took a pay cut and the company had very
strict rules, Judy successfully completed her training and enjoyed a wide and varied career.
This included demonstrations, lectures and promoting Arden products. Judy became a
senior member of the team and was asked if she wanted to go on a cruise for 15 days to the
Caribbean to promote the Arden collection, the first time this had been done on cruise
ships.
After marrying, Judy wanted to retire but she was asked if she would go to British Airways
to advise the air stewardesses how to do their hair and make-up and how to correctly
attend each customer, especially when they had to lean over to speak to them.
Judy enjoyed a very long and varied career until she retired but she still has fond memories
of her time working at Elizabeth Arden.

FUN AT CHRISTMAS!
This year St Peter’s Nativity was a vey busy and surprising
affair! Mary and Joseph (aka Eloise McHale and Sebastian
Carvill) arrived on a ‘donkey’ (ok, so it was a Shetland pony!)
to the church with the congregation looking on. As everyone
returned to their seats Mary and Joseph made their way up
the aisle to the dais along with the donkey who had a nibble at
the hay in the manger, then quite unexpectedly left a package
of its own for baby Jesus! This caused much amusement
amongst the children but was
quickly dealt with and we were
able to move on telling the story
of the Nativity.
Six week old Joseph Anthony
James White, who played the part
baby Jesus, was quite unaware of
of all this and slept peacefully.
All the children entered into the
spirit of it, dressing up as
shepherds, angels and the wise men. Some members of our
junior choir narrated the story whist others helped with props
and guiding the younger children to their places.
We had a special guest amongst the congregation, the Archdeacon of Dorking, the Ven Paul
Bryer with his wife and mother.
Baby Joseph was baptised
on 10th January so had
quite an eventful
Christmas in St Peter’s!
St Peter’s Junior Choir Pantomime Outing
Snow White
After Christmas St. Peter's church choir went to the pantomime (Snow White) and everyone loved the show. It was a great performance even St. Charlie ( Maggie's husband) enjoyed himself. Charlie became a ‘Saint’ in front of the whole audience by the funny chap in
the show called Muddles. It was so funny. There was a comedian called Muddles who
was Snow White's friend - he thought Charlie was the vicar, what a muddle! We will never
forget that day and I don't think Charlie will either.
After Christmas now will always be St. Charlie's day. Charlie told the audience he got a
book for Christmas but it was not a Bible ‘cos he’d already read it!
Prince Charming was charming and Snow White was beautiful (but I think Snow White
should have married Muddles).
The costumes were really colourful and the audience all joined in with the singing. Charlie
forgot to salute Muddles and I think he did the wrong sign so that is why he got spotted
and had to go on stage. We have got St Charlie's day now because of that. We all laughed
and loved the show and the atmosphere. Great day had by all!
Can't wait for next year, hope St. Charlie can come!

Open Group
The year 2014 ended with a very festive meeting at Elizabeth Hargrave's home, warm,
welcoming and ready for Christmas on 12th December! Liz had been extremely busy, not
only putting up decorations but baking mince pies, sausage rolls and preparing canapés in
our honour. Beryl and Leslie Smith, volunteers from Kent, Sussex and Surrey Air
Ambulance joined us for the evening. It was a great pleasure to present them with a
cheque for the year's fundraising, amounting to £3,000. The collecting box, held by Open
Group for 'odd change' donations was taken and emptied by Beryl. This raised a further
£9.80. Beryl and Leslie joined in the seasonal quiz and won! Very many thanks to Liz for
organising such a great pre-Christmas evening.
The first meeting of 2015, on the second Tuesday in January, was an Epiphany supper, at
Bryher, Tadworth Street. It was a happy start to the year and a chance to relax and
exchange Christmas news over 'Piquant Basil Chicken', followed by 'New Year Amandine
Tart'! During the evening, members agreed to support the charity, 'Hearing Dogs for Deaf
People', as the group's 2015 project.
The next meeting will be a ‘Pancake Evening’ on TUESDAY, 10th
FEBRUARY, 7.30PM FOR 8.00PM, at WHITELODGE, SANDLANDS GROVE,
when we hope to have a speaker from the organisation, which, as in the case of Air
Ambulance, receives no government funding. Availability of speaker to be confirmed at
time of writing. Everyone is welcome, men too! For further information or if you would
like to attend the meeting, please contact Mo on 813834 or Norma on 812639 or by e-mail
to moatkins@ hotmail.co.uk
We were pleased to have received a grateful certificate of thanks from the Kent, Surrey
and Sussex Air Ambulance Service and are looking forward to enthusiastic fundraising on
behalf of 'Hearing Dogs for Deaf People'.

WALTON BOOK FAIR
As reported, we had another very successful book fair, making over £3,000 after expenses.
Unfortunately we have had great problems in clearing all the books this time (We recently
had a meeting in The Scouts Headquarters to try and take the remainder away to charity
shops etc ) so because of this (and the hard work and commitment ) it was decided not to
hold another one in October. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last 8
years.
ROYAL MARSDEN CHRISTMAS CARDS
Thank you to everyone who supported this charity by purchasing their cards, I sold just over
£1,100 which was a great total.
I also paid towards a Christmas Party at The Children`s and Teenage Centre at The Royal
Marsden, plus on going vouchers for youngsters having radio
therapy (a well done) This is money from fund raising during last year. Once again THANK
YOU to everyone who helps me and attends our fund raising events.

closed by government decree to help contain the Ebola outbreak. However, we are aware
that staff members are keeping in touch with the families of pupils so they can provide
financial help to counter the disruption to economic life and medical facilities using funds
sent from the UK. The Christmas Appeal funding will not only cover the wage costs for the
5 teachers during this year but also provide £500 extra for the relief activity outlined
above. £500 is a significant sum in Sierra Leone and is equivalent to 3 years’ earnings for
the poorer workers and subsistence farmers.
The next TWOAT fund raising activity is a Quiz Evening at Christchurch, Walton Street,
Walton, 7.15 pm Tuesday 17th February admission £10 including light buffet.
On Wednesday March 11th at 7.30pm TWOAT is delighted and honoured that Sir Edward
Clay, a previous senior British diplomat, will address a TWOAT meeting at St John’s Hall on
events with which his role directly
involved him that took place during the genocide in Rwanda. The topic will be “Rwanda
1994; Never again?”
The date and venue for this year’s Auction of Promises is the evening of Saturday April
25th in St John’s Hall, Tadworth. We will be publishing more details closer to that date but
please tell a member of the TWOAT committee if you have any new ideas about Promises
that Friends and Supporters might offer to provide.
