Hello fellow Tarringtonians,
Hopefully the worst of the rain and flooding is
over now, but what an amazing display of fungi
it has produced. The array of shapes, sizes and
colours have been more than usually
resplendent in our garden.
I hope you will all be in good voice in the
run up to Christmas as there are plenty
of opportunities to join in the carol
singing. Hopefully Stoke Edith will be
able to hold their annual Candlelit Carol
Service (pg 9), and we are not
forgetting the younger members of our community with a Lantern
Walk from the Hall followed by carols at the church (pg 18).
There is also a special Flicks
in the Sticks screening for a
younger audience of “How
the Grinch Stole Christmas”.
Sounds like fun to me!
My thanks to everyone who
contributes to the Tatler and
the advertisers who continue to support it, I couldn’t do it without
you. My thanks also go to the Parish Council for continuing to
provide a grant to help with printing costs, and to Kath and her
team of helpers for managing the distribution around all
households.
Wishing you all
A Very Happy Christmas
And a Prosperous New Year.
Judi

Rectors Ramblings
Dear Friends
The Christmas season is upon us again. It is a season that always comes with a sense of déjà vu. Each year, I am always struck by how quickly it comes upon me. I am also struck by the impending sense that there is so much to do and so little time in which to do it. This year, a friend sent me one of those very popular ‘pop up philosophy’ photo’s that pulled me up and got me focused on where my real priorities need to be.
If you too are feeling a sense of rush and breathlessness over the coming season, then a reality check is offered below. Christ came into the world to be a light that would light a way into God’s kingdom. The most important truth about this, is that it is as much about a present and lived in Kingdom, as it is about a coming one. Living as followers of Christ, we too are called to be lights that point to deeper truths about God, about human relationships, about creation. There is no better time than Christmas to show those around us that there is a greater meaning, a greater story than the one of ‘me first’ that the world peddles relentlessly to us. I hope that you are able to dwell well in the coming season with your eyes on the Christ Child, the light of the world. If that seems like an uphill struggle, then why not join us for some of the many services all around the Hop Churches. From Carols and cribs to Christingles, all are welcome in our churches to share the story of Christmas. I look forward to sharing the season with you all.
Let my friend’s very wise Christmas list be yours also.
Blessings to you all

St. Mary the Virgin, Stoke Edith Candlelit Carol Service
Many of you will know that St. Mary's has been closed since early September while we await completion of emergency building work, which will enable the church to be used in safety.
At the time of publication we are very much hoping that we will be able to hold our annual Candlelit Carol Service, which is due to take place on
Sunday 8th December at 3.30p.m.
In the meantime, please watch noticeboards, pewsheets & listen out for pulpit announcements with further information.

We will bring our year to an end by enjoying a Christmas lunch at the Plough Inn at Stoke Lacy, with all of us bringing a small gift for a secret santa basket.
We don't meet in January but there will be a copy of our 2020 programme on the village centre notice board. If there is anything of interest please do come along and join us next year.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Tatler readers
a very Happy Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Judy Davis or Gwyneth Williams
Thursday Coffee Mornings
at the Lady Emily Hall There won’t be a coffee morning on the 12th Dec due to the
election. Our last one for this year will be on the 19th December
when I’m sure we could all do with a coffee break before Christmas!
So do come along and join us for a bit of pre-Christmas cheer.
Thanks to everyone who has been along and been generous enough to
make a donation. Enormous thanks also to Mary, Kath, Ann W, Ann
J, Deborah, Jeanette, Margaret M & Margaret P for volunteering to
take it in turns to help set up and make the coffee. We couldn’t have
kept going without you!
We aim to start up again in the spring - so watch this space!

Friendship Club
After a lovely lunch, the theme of our October meeting was “Games". Everyone joined in the fun playing dominoes, draughts, Jenga,
word games and best of all was the "Next Line of the Song" team game led with panache by John Watkins who sang the first line of an old favourite and two very competitive teams had to sing the next line. Our members weren't phased when John threw in a couple of hymns at the end for good measure!
This year we have decided to hold our Christmas meal at the Hall (having the meal cooked and delivered by ‘The Rumbling Tum’ catering company).
So in preparation for this, our members spent an hour after our November lunch preparing decorations both for the Hall and the tables. The resulting excellent displays of painted
white silver birch twigs and dried seedheads made centrepieces for the tables along with cut-out images of Christmas trees and snowmen. Serviettes folded into the shape of a Christmas tree will also feature.
Bunting was made by a production team cutting pennants from festive paper, and passing onto the folks with staplers who fastened them onto
white tape — we now have 3 lengths of 27 metres of bunting!!
We will not be holding a meeting in January but in February our New Year Bring and Buy sale will be held.
Our lunch club is open to all senior citizens and a warm welcome awaits anyone who would like to join us on the 1st Wednesday of each month, we would be delighted to see you. We can provide transport if needed.

Flicks tickets will be £5.00 (£3.00 U-16) at the door. Film Club members £2.50. If you need any help getting to the films, or could offer help to set up,
serve teas etc, contact John Tallis. Enquiries 01432 890720 or ladyemilyhall@gmail.com
Refreshments and wine will be available as usual.
Saturday 14th December 2:30pm Entry £3 for all ages How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2018) (PG)
The Grinch tells the story of a cynical
grump who goes on a mission to steal
Christmas, only to have his heart
changed by a young girl's generous
holiday spirit. Funny, heart-warming, and
visually stunning, it's a universal story
about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.
Directors: Yarrow Cheney, Scott Mosier
Writers: Michael LeSieur, Tommy Swerdlow
Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones
Saturday 14th December 7:30pm Carousel This is the 3rd in the
series of “Herefordshire
Life Through A Lens”
films, inspired by the
incredible archive of local
photographer Derek
Evans. The project has resulted in films, exhibitions and education
packs which have toured the county and beyond. Produced by
Catcher Media, who will provide a brief introduction before the
screening.
This feature length documentary delves deep into the Derek Evans
archives from the 1950s-1970s to bring you the stories behind his
photographs of the county, from the May Fair to Hereford United,
from the Fownhope Heart of Oak walk to jazz, from childhood to
politics and much more.
“Spellbinding from start to finish.”
“An exceptional film capturing Derek’s ability to record the social
history of Herefordshire life.”

Flicks in the Sticks Films at Lady Emily Hall, Tarrington
Saturday 11th January 7:30pm Fisherman’s Friends (12A) Ten fishermen from
Cornwall are signed by
Universal Records and
achieve a top 10 hit with
their debut album of Sea
Shanties.
“There's some nice humour
that stems naturally from
the tight knit community friendships when an outsider comes into
their lives, and some truly wonderful harmonies in the singing of
those shanties. I'm not a folk song enthusiast but there's no denying
the music is resonant and lyrical.” – Review R Baylis
Director: Chris Foggin Writers: Piers Ashworth, Meg Leonard
Stars: James Purefoy, Meadow Nobrega, David Hayman
Saturday 8th February 7:30pm Downton Abbey (PG) The under-stated summary is –
“the continuing story of the
Crawley family, wealthy owners
of a large estate in the English
countryside in the early 20th
century.” The story line for the film
revolves around a royal visit to
Downton, with various dramatic
and comedic episodes involving
well-established characters
from the popular TV series. As a newcomer to the story, I was
somewhat overwhelmed by the number of characters (not a problem
for aficionados !), but generally the film stands alone well and
portrays a view of one part of society in the early 20th century.
Maggie Smith performs outstandingly, as ever.
Director: Michael Engler Writer: Julian Fellowes
Stars: Matthew Goode, Tuppence Middleton, Maggie Smith + a host
of well-known actors/actresses.

Tarrington Race Night 19th October 2019
What a night!. Naturally we all
studied the form of the horses
before choosing the one with the
prettiest eyes! Then over to
Deborah & Mark or Hannah &
Graham to lay our bets. Colin did a
great job compering and helping to
build the atmosphere up to a
positive frenzy at times! So it was
quite a relief to reach the mid-
session interval when we all filed
through the kitchen to help
ourselves to a delicious chicken
curry or pork dish prepared by
Sarah, Elaine and Margaret.
Thanks must also go to Trevor and
Phil on the bar, Celia and Mary in
the kitchen, Bridget & John,
Deborah & Mark, Celia, John W
and Jan for setting up, and most
importantly to John Tallis for the
organisation and ticket sales.
We made an amazing £1,000 for
hall funds and thoroughly enjoyed
the evening.Thanks to all who came.

Craft Group Open Day
12th November 2019
The annual open day was well attended
this year. The large selection of
crafts
made a
wonderful display, and some of our
work was for sale. Members also
demonstrated an array of crafting
skills. As usual, there was no
shortage of tea and a delicious
selection of home made cakes.
The club has been running for more than
30 years, from small beginnings in the
old village hall, and now at the Lady Emily
Hall. We meet every Tuesday from
10.30 to 3 pm. We start with coffee and
bring our own lunch. Some come for
coffee to catch up with friends, some
stay and sew for the morning and some
of us spend the whole day, sewing and
sharing our skills. We have occasional
workshops and outings and there is
always room at the Hall for new
members. We contribute £2 a week
each for the hire of the hall.
Our open day raised over £700 for St Michael’s Hospice,
from the tombola, raffle and your generous donations.
Anyone who would like to join us will be made very welcome.

Climate Emergency
Herefordshire Association of Local Councils (HALC) organised a meeting entitled The Great Collaboration. Gareth Williams from Herefordshire Green Network (HGN) gave a presentation. HGN are developing a carbon testing tool in order to measure the carbon footprint. Their plan, set out on the HGN website, includes five main areas for action: Buildings: improvements in insulation and renewable heating systems. Transport: improvements in public transport and provision of Electric Vehicle Charging points. Energy: village halls: renewable energy schemes; Waste reduction: repair cafes, for example; tree planting.
I attended a collaboration meeting in Dormington with parishioners from Dormington, Bartestree and Fownhope, who are working to promote these actions. We are investigating grants for Electric Vehicle Charging points (EVCs), possibly at the village hall and pub car park. On 5th November, Peter Campbell reported in the Financial Times that “one in 10 new cars sold in the UK in October was a hybrid or electric vehicle”. So if you are thinking of replacing your car to reduce your carbon footprint, this could be the trend to follow. For those of us fortunate enough to be able to use public transport, there are great views of autumn colour from the bus this autumn! If solar panels or a heat source pump are not in your budget, then switching to a renewable energy supplier, e.g. Bulb, is another option. The Parish Council can obtain trees from The Woodland Trust, for example, however we need ideas as to where these can be planted in the Parish. If you would like to join me at the next meeting of parishes in the great collaboration on climate emergency, please let me know.

Lady Emily Hall Annual Report 2018-19 Prepared for AGM November 2019 (postponed till Dec 11
th !)
Introduction
This is based on my report for our AGM, planned for Nov 14th but postponed because of the bad weather on that day ! I’ve incorporated some of the details from the Treasurer’s report and should comment that although there is a large excess of expenditure over income, a high proportion of this represents spend on equipment, funded by the Lottery grant last year. However, we do need to step-up our fund-raising activities. Detailed accounts will be posted on the Hall noticeboard. (after AGM)
Hall Activities / Income
Sessions booked have risen from 332 to 463 and there has been a corresponding rise in hall hire income to £8.8k. Other income, including Flicks, fund-raising events and donations take our total income to £12.9k, which is significantly less than last year’s £24.7k. Grant income is down by £11.3k. The re-introduction of the Tots group and the new Yoga class have accounted for many of the extra sessions, especially as the Tots kept going through most of the school holidays. We continue to have new activity groups interested in coming regularly and we should have 2 more operating at the Hall by the new year.
Since the Spring there has been a weekly coffee morning in the Hall, which has attracted a regular group. We haven’t charged for attendance, but the attendees have been generous with donations to Hall funds.
There has only been one explicit fund-raising event in the 12 months to September 2019 – the Sea Shanty evening in October 2018. We have already had 1 event and plan more in the current year, hopefully repeating a couple of the previous successful events, though we must take account of the effort required from the committee (and friends !) to do this.
Flicks in the Sticks and the Borderlines Film Festival continue to attract regular attendees each month underpinned by the Film Club membership. The average audience for Sept-May season was 56 – up from 42 the previous year. The audience, especially for the Borderlines films, comes from a large area in Herefordshire and beyond. I’ve been talking to Arts Alive about the possibility of participating in their live events programme in the Autumn of 2020, if the arrangements look advantageous.
21
Expenditure / Investment in Equipment / Maintenance Activities
Our regular running costs are fairly stable, about £0.5k higher in a total of about £8k, but we have undertaken a number of major upgrade activities including the following, which have taken our total expenditure to £19.4k:
a Purchase of replacement chairs – 149
b Completion of Front porch refurbishment (lead work)
c Roof repair/Refurbishment
The chairs were part-funded by the award from the Lottery grant received last year, but the balance has come out of Hall reserves.
We have applied to Tesco for funds to continue the improvement of the playground area, but we are in a queue awaiting participation in the Ledbury store token competition.
Entertainment / Alcohol Licence
Once again, the operation of the Hall, under the current licence, has generated no complaints and we had no problems in renewing the licence.
Acknowledgements
I would like to express our thanks to the Parish Council for their continued support.
Once again, we must thank Martin Townsend for undertaking the annual review of our accounts.
We have welcomed some new people on to the committee – Susanna Spicer, as Stoke Edith nominee; Bridget Wood as Dormington nominee.
Finally, I would again like to express my thanks to all the members of the committee, who have continued their efforts this year, helping organise events and taking part in various maintenance efforts. Particular thanks are due to the officers, Judi, Jan and Graham who devote a great deal of time to ensuring the smooth running of the committee.

Tarrington Parish Council Meeting - 11 Nov 2019
The Chairman welcomed two new Parish Councillors, Simon Bailey, Barrs Orchard and Robin Hodgson, Garbrook. Mike Tector had resigned after several years of service on Parish Council. Mike is moving out of the Parish and the Chairman thanked him for all his help and support over the years.
Our Ward Councillor, John Hardwick, gave a report. There are plans for construction of a parking area for parents at Mordiford School to resolve parking problems and congestion. The causeway at Holme Lacy will be closed for repairs from 9.30 to 3.30 for the next two weeks. Herefordshire Council is reviewing and updating the Core Strategy, which will have an impact on Neighbourhood Development Plans. Hereford City Transport package includes plans for improved pedestrian access from Commercial Road to the railway station. The country bus station will be moved to the railway station. The Environment Agency has reported high phosphate levels in the rivers Frome, Lugg and tributaries, with the result that building in the Frome valley is on hold, pending further investigations.
Councillor Hodges reported that a group of five residents is working to ensure that The Tarrington Arms is retained as an Asset of Community Value. A meeting with CAMRA has been informatitive and useful. The group have also consulted residents in Orleton who organised a community purchase of The Boot
pub in their village. The Parish Council support the group in their aim to join The Plunkett Foundation which is set up to give financial support and advice to community organisations.
A blocked culvert in Aldersend Road has resulted in flooding. The Clerk will order a further supply of sandbags and sand. Cllrs Hodges and Grey will carry out a survey and report flooding, potholes and highways issues to Herefordshire Council.
Cllrs Bailey and Hodgson and others are planning events for VE Day on 8th May 2020.
The Footpaths Officer reported on footpaths (see opposite page) and Climate Emergency (See page 21).

Footpaths report
The Public Rights of Way (PROW) meeting at Balfour Beatty Offices, Rotherwas, on 23rd October, was well attended by Footpaths Officers throughout the county. Balfour Beatty has one PROW gang to carry out maintenance throughout the county, i.e. ditch bridge repairs, signposting, surface vegetation and drainage. Landowners are responsible for hedges, fallen trees, gates, stiles and paths.
The annual grant from Balfour Beatty to each Parish to maintain footpaths was cut last year. The Parish Council is committed to maintaining the budget for footpaths from the precept. I shall focus on maintaining all our footpaths as set out on the Definitive Map. There is additional work involved to restore the record as set out in “Rights of Way - restoring the record”. This gives help and advice on how to add paths, which had been in existence, to the Definitive Map. I have carried out some investigations to this end but have now committed to focusing on the paths we already have. If anyone would like to borrow the book, which is the property of Parish Council, and the work I have carried out so far, please let me know. Ultimately, Herefordshire Council is responsible for updating the Definitive Map.
I shall continue to report all work to Balfour Beatty via the reporting app and monitor if this work is carried out. The good news is that I am in contact with John Wride, Herefordshire Ramblers, who will organise gangs to carry out footpaths work. Materials can be obtained from Herefordshire Council’s emergency fund for repairs, such as bridges over ditches and watercourses, damaged by flooding.

please telephone 07581 283092. If you are in need yourself, please contact
a health professional, police, CAB, Age

I have always prided myself in delivering services to the best of my ability. The passion I have in this area has given me the drive to now deliver a service of my own, in the way I believe to be truly respectful of clients and their wishes. The objective is to aid daily living and essentially be the extra bit of support and guidance that sometimes we all need a little of. There is no judgment passed, there is no criteria to be able to use the services we offer. Simply, if you feel that we can be of use to you we would love to help.
