No date yet, but before the trip we will be packing the “Family Bags” bags for specific known families within the churches we help in Romania - on Saturday 16th March. In an effort to raise much needed funds, we will be having a Coffee Morning at The Garden Room in Saffron Walden on Saturday 18th May and also, in the Spring, we will be starting to go to regular car boot sales on Saturdays at Oakington. We will be going to Bunwell, Norfolk in March to collect the goods so kindly donated and collected by the ladies there. They have always provided us with a very useful and full van load of goods whenever we make the journey there. We would like sincerely to thank St Mary’s, Little Chesterford, for donating the proceeds Park Vehicle Services from their Christmas Carol Service and also to thank those who left stationery under the Christmas trees in All Saints and St Marys. Thanks also to everyone who continues to offer goods for our cause. We will try and come as quickly as possible to collect goods, but there is never enough time in the day so please bear with us if we can’t collect as soon as you would wish. Our recycling bank is still in the Community Centre car park. You can deposit old clothes, shoes, etc. which will then be recycled and we will receive any profits. We do stress, though, that good clothes and shoes are still very much needed in Romania and this facility is really for older, worn shoes and clothes that would not be suitable for Romania, so if you have any doubt please ring David Maskell (530098) or Anne Kirkwood (530744) who will be happy to discuss this with you.

An excellent carvery meal was enjoyed by all. At the AGM in November John Pashley stood down as Chairman, a role he has carried out with considerable enthusiasm and an awful lot of hard work for more than 10 years. He will be a very tough act to follow by the incoming Chairman, Martyn Linwood. December saw the Club’s annual Christmas dinner, as in recent years again at the Crown & Thistle, a perfect venue with a very good meal. Many in the Chesterfords will be aware that the Club have obtained planning permission to replace the present clubhouse (originally a site hut when the M11 was constructed) with a new purpose built timber pavilion. Grants totalling £15,500 have been secured and originally it was hoped to commence and complete the project before the start of the new season in April. However, the inclement weather and the need to raise additional funds have led to the decision to postpone work until this September when the season draws to a close. Speaking of the weather, the bowls green has suffered a lot over the winter with a lot of moss. Our greenkeeper Colin Brand and his dedicated team of helpers will be working hard between now and April to ensure that the green is restored to its usual pristine condition ready for action in the forthcoming season. Our Club is very friendly and anyone who would like to consider taking up bowls in 2013 is very welcome to contact Martyn Linwood on 501419 for more information. The Club will be holding a Quiz Night in the Chesterfords Community Centre at 7.30 pm on Saturday 23rd March. Two years ago this event proved extremely popular and we hope that as many people as possible will come along again. More details will be provided nearer the time. Details of our open day will appear in the next issue. 5 CHESTERFORD BROADSHEET NO 186 W.E.A. Ickleton & Chesterfords Branch The current course is of particular relevance to this area with its rich evidence of Roman occupation. Our tutor is looking forward to drawing in local knowledge for his course. Boudica’s Revolt and Resistance to Roman Rule in Britain Tutor Richard Till (10 weeks) Why did some Britons oppose Roman rule? How successful was their opposition in the period 42-70 AD? What’s the evidence? How much of it can we trust? Wednesday mornings from 9th January at 10 am Ickleton Village Hall Richard attended our AGM and gave us a lively talk with examples of questions to address and evidence to assess in order to understand ways of life in those times. We can look forward to plenty of discussion, through not always easy answers. There will be plenty of puzzles to consider. The first two sessions of both courses may be sampled for £4.50 each, to be set against the fee of £45 if continuing. Courses are free to those on certain benefits. We are able to offer lifts between villages. More information from Margaret Beston (01799 530454) J.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with many, including those affected by illness and flooding and the homeless. We have supported several charities this year with whole school fund raising events for Children in Need, UNICEF and Jimmy’s Nightshelter. Last term we had a specific focus on Friendship when a proportion of the week was spent considering anti-bullying issues and the qualities of good friends. The children enjoyed working in their mixed age friendship groups completing craft activities and taking part in games organised by the school Playleaders. Lots of fun was had during the board game sessions kindly supported by many of our parents. Years 5 and 6 prepared and performed a thoughtful presentation on the issues of bullying through drama and poetry. The week culminated with a special sharing assembly when parents were able to see and hear about the work carried out. Class 5 produced an excellent range of performance poems which they proudly shared with the rest of the school and we hope you enjoy the examples below: Bully Stop! Bully I feel sorry for you, Why do you do the things you do? You pinch, punch and call me names It’s a wonder I haven’t gone insane! Hey! Ow! Why don’t you stop? Since you started my spirits have dropped, How does this benefit you? Tell me why you’re so bad and cruel, You even do it in the swimming pool. Are you having a bad day? Just show it in a different way. So I just want to say STOP ruining my day! By Connor Gardiner Big Bad Bob Some bullies are short, Some bullies are tall, Some bullies are huge, Some bullies are small. My bully’s called Bob, He looks like a baboon. When he makes me cry, He goes over the moon! Bullies are naughty, Bullies make me sad. Bullies pull your hair, And make you go mad. So PLEASE listen teacher, Sorry I don’t know your name, But a big bad bully called Bob, Came and ruined our game AGAIN! By Jodie Veitch 9 CHESTERFORD BROADSHEET NO 186 10 10- CHESTERFORD BROADSHEET NO 186 Wishing you a very happy New Year from everyone at Chesterfords Community Centre.

We are not often deterred by the weather but Wednesday 19th December was extreme!) Many thanks to those who gave so generously. We are especially grateful as we have just heard that the organ requires a major overhaul and expensive releathering of the bellows which together will cost about twice as much as we have in the organ kitty. Services at Christmas It was wonderful to have the church so full for our Christmas services. The Carol Service on 16th December, Christingle on 23rd, Midnight Communion on Christmas Eve and the Family Communion Service on Christmas Day were all extremely well attended. We also had a very special occasion on the morning of 16th December when the Bishop of Colchester came to celebrate Family Communion and dedicate the Church Room, the new Memorial Wall, the area of the churchyard set aside for the interment of ashes and the noticeboard that had been given in memory of David and Sally Burnett-Stuart. THE CHESTERFORDS, ICKLETON & HINXTON WI WI DECEMBER MEETING Members held a Festive Supper in December. A enjoyable social occasion, with carols, games and gifts. Thank you to Evelyn for her organisation. GREAT CHESTERFORD & DISTRICT GARDENING SOCIETY At December's meeting the speaker, Rodney Tibbs, gave a talk entitled 'Cambridge College Gardens'. An accomplished author and journalist, he inspired his audience to explore the hidden gems set within five minutes' walk of the Market Square. Following the seasons, his slides and anecdotes were sprinkled with architectural detail and historical fact, and he opened everyone's eyes to the delightful open spaces tucked away in the city centre. A seasonal raffle and mince pies followed.
