This month, you will notice that we have given a lot of space to crime, and especially Burglary and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in and around our area. This is not to say that there is an abundance of criminal activity on our door step - in fact the reverse is the case, due to the vigilance of our neighbourhood watch and the efforts of the police to patrol our area and follow up on any reports of crime, and this is how we want to keep it. So the local police have made up a Crime Check List identifying the things we should do to prevent crime, rather than to react to it. Also in this edition: On pages 22/23 a piece from the NHS - heavy reading but important! Pages 30/31 are about our Neighbourhood Plan - so much hard work by the Committee. Thank you!

MINISTER’S LETTER

Dear friends

We are in Lent again. I know many people who,

whether religious or not, have given something up for Lent.

Chocolate seems to be the most popular substance to abstain from,

maybe because it is so irresistible. When I was younger I remember a

friend adopting a soup fast for the whole of Lent. One day he sneaked

into the kitchen, fried up bacon and eggs and then liquidised them.

Another person used to give up wine for Lent to make sure that he was

not an alcoholic – that is not a bad idea. Giving up for Lent falls into the

same rather grey area of New Year resolutions. If you are succeeding in

your Lenten quest of abstinence hats off to you.

I much prefer to take on a new good habit that might replace a

less favourable one. To me taking on something new and challenging

feels more achievable. I might also say that, if I don’t make a good fist

of it then I don’t beat myself up on account of it. Rather, the better way

is to pick oneself up and keep at it, whatever ‘it’ is.

This year I have been drawn to thinking about compassion. I am

always inspired by the enthusiasm and passion of young people who get

their teeth into some worthy cause or another. It is a pleasant antidote

to apathy. A few keep that passion and drive beyond their youth but

many of us are sucked into the rat race and become rather care-worn,

financially stretched and too tired to do more than survive the various

demands of each day. We give to charities still, for the most part, but

often only when we are pressured or feel guilty or we are focussed by a

disaster that has befallen us or a loved one. Partly to blame is the vast

demand and broad spectrum of charities in this day and age. It is very

easy to get giving fatigue especially when their demand is pitted against

our own need and that of our families in the context of our limited

resources.

Also to ‘blame’ is the battering we get from the media with regard

to the constant stream of really bad things that happen day by day –

suffering caused by political instability, greed, conflict, intolerance etc.’

Suffering caused by lack of food, water, sanitation, medical aid; the list

goes on. In the end we switch off.

As a child I remember seeing rare images of starving children in Biafra. I

was inconsolable and unable to comprehend why such things should

happen. Why don’t I feel that now? Because I have become disaster

hardened, that’s why. I have seen too much.

In the Gospel of Matthew chapter 20: 29, two blind men plead with

Jesus to restore their sight. “Jesus had compassion on them and touched

their eyes. Immediately they received their sight”. Literally compassion

means, ‘to suffer with’. Jesus didn’t just feel sorry for them; he connected

with their need and responded by doing something real to meet that need.

It is important that we don’t get overwhelmed by all the bad stuff in the

world but I would suggest that we need to get more sensitised and

connected to the needs of our world so that we can creatively and

generously respond. It takes a deliberate mental act, and in my case

prayer, to stop, imagine ourselves in the shoes of others and feel again

some of the world’s pain. Then our prayer and our giving become more

honest, connected and real.

Every blessing.

Stratfield Saye Update

The coffee club was held the first Monday of February. They were treated

to home made cake, which was enjoyed by all.

The first meeting for the Summer Fete was held on the 27th at the Iron

Duke. We have quite a comprehensive list of possible stalls and

attractions, which will be looked at more comprehensively at the next

meeting. This meeting will be held on the 26th February 7.30 at the Iron

Duke. The date decided on for the fete was the 25th June. It will be held

in the Iron Duke garden as before.

We are desperately looking for somewhere to store some books, until the

24th June. The village hall need the cupboard space. Any dry space would

be greatly appreciated.

Thoughts and prayers for Lent

The way we shape our lives for prayer, reflection and service during Lent causes me to ask what I think is an obvious question. “Why do we cease once Lent is over?” It is as if we breathe a sigh of relief. Yet, as Christians we are meant to live lives of prayer, reflection and service all year round. The season of Lent gives us the opportunity to strengthen our commitment to God and our fellow human beings; to hone and fine tune our service. We cannot do everything so we also have to assess the best way to use our gifts wisely. In order to do a better job we sometimes need to let certain tasks go. If our prayer, reflection and service is only for Lent

then, quite frankly, we waste our time.

From the Bible: Matthew 11:28-30

(From ‘The Message’ at www.biblegateway.com)

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep

company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Prayer for the Month

Generous God, thank you that you are always more willing to hear us than we are to pray, and that you are always more willing to forgive and heal us than we are to ask; help us as we take time to reflect on our own lives. Forgive us when we act as if you don’t exist and exclude you from our lives. Forgive us when we act as if the poor of this world are not our problem, when giving is too costly, when we recoil from sharing with our neighbour and those in need. Help us to be grateful for what we have and

then imitate the generosity of Jesus in giving joyfully.

Help us to consider our life style and pattern that we might become a resource to our family, our neighbour, our community and the world. Thank you, Father for your forgiveness and healing shown in transformed

lives and renewed minds. Amen.

Prayer suggestion for Lent

Look for little ways to share your faith with others. Only use words if you have to. Consistent small acts of love and kindness far outweigh grand

occasional gestures or many words.

Telling someone you care is only made real when your actions match. As we take what God has given us and give it away again we see his

blessings multiplied. A bit like sowing seed really.

Talking Health

We are the NHS North Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group and our job

is to plan and buy your local healthcare services. We work closely with GP

Practices, pharmacies and other healthcare professionals to give you the

best possible service.

Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service in the North Hampshire

Area

A key topic in both our towns and rural areas is how patients travel to their

treatments. The Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service is undergoing

some changes from 1st March this year. Below is some significant

information which describes the new service and who is entitled to use it.

South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust has been providing

this service for patients in most of Hampshire since October 2014. The

service delivers transport for eligible patients who have a medical reason

that means they are not able to travel for treatment by another method.

During 2016 the Ambulance Service will become the provider for journeys

from treatment centres managed by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation

Trust (HHFT). This covers North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke, Royal

Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and the Andover War Memorial

Hospital.

These include the following journeys:

To a planned outpatient appointment

To hospital for a planned admission

Home from hospital following patient discharge

To and from renal dialysis appointments

Home to Hampshire from hospitals in other areas

of the country

Home to the Isle of Wight from hospitals or

healthcare/treatment centres on the mainland

What’s Changing In 2016?

The Ambulance Service will be transporting patients from treatment

centres managed by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The transfer of services to the Ambulance Service will happen on the

following dates:

March 1 2016 for the North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke

August 1 2016 for the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester

and the Andover War Memorial Hospital.

Who Can Use This Service?

As resources are limited and are focussed on the patients with the most

need, there are eligibility criteria that must be met in order to access the

service. You are considered eligible if: your medical condition is such that

you require the skills and support of Ambulance Service staff during or

after your journey, and/or it would be detrimental to your condition or

recovery to travel by other means.

Or:

Your medical condition affects your mobility to such an extent that you

would be unable to access healthcare and/or it would be detrimental to

your condition or recovery to travel by other means.

Carers may also travel if you are the recognised parent or guardian of a

child being transported by the Ambulance Service.

You are not eligible if:

You are attending a routine GP or health centre appointment.

You are not an NHS patient.

You require transport outside England, Scotland and Wales.

The healthcare professional booking an Ambulance Service journey will

check that the patient is eligible at the time of booking. In the first

instance, call your GP Practice or clinic.

Service for Hampshire, you can contact them by via email at

Dear Resident

There has been an increase in theft from vehicles

in Basingstoke recently, mainly targeting work tools

from vans and cars.

Please remain extra vigilant and follow the guidance below to help

keep your vehicles and valuables safe:

Ensure your vehicles are secure at all times, even if you are just

leaving it for a few minutes.

Do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.

If you have a designated parking bay then use it. If not, please

park in a well-lit area close to street lighting and in a place where your

car is not obscured by other things such as a bottle bank.

Please note: When the Police recover valuables that have been

stolen, even if they match the description given it is difficult for us to

prove that it is the same one reported stolen. Please ensure that any

serial numbers are logged on Immobilise.com to allows us to identify

individual items that we recover.

THE FRIENDS OF THE VILLAGE HALL

The management committee is very grateful to a few volunteers who give

so much time and effort organising and running fund raising events for the

Sherfield on Loddon Neighbourhood Plan

Open Day

‘A very comprehensive display’…. ‘Job well done with all the information’ ….. ‘It is important we are all informed, and you are

helping’……..‘

These are just a few of the comments we received from over 110 visitors who came to our Open Day,

on 6th February in the Village Hall.

Visitors were able to meet members of the Working Party over a cup of tea (kindly provided by the WI) and view and comment on the draft policies that will make up Sherfield’s

Neighbourhood Plan.

Feedback forms revealed that the majority of people were in agreement with the policies as drafted. However, in some cases alternative wording was suggested and this

has been incorporated into the policies and Plan.

It is not too late to contribute. If you missed the Open Day, please….

WHY IS THE PLAN IMPORTANT?

The Plan will help us to have a greater, more positive influence on any development in the parish. It includes policies on Housing, Design, Footpaths/Cycle Routes, Greenspace, Local Economy, Communications and Community Facilities. Once it has been approved by the Borough Council and accepted through a local

referendum, it will have legal status and be used by the Parish

* Come along to the evening session instead, being held on:

THURSDAY 10TH MARCH, 7 - 9pm in the Liddell Hall, OR

* Read the policies and download a feedback form from the parish website: http://www.sherfieldonloddon-pc.gov.uk/ OR

* Read the policies and complete a feedback form in House

Twenty8, available until 19th March.

http://www.sherfieldonloddon-pc.gov.uk/

Planning Committee to reject or amend applications if they don’t conform to the policies. Thus, the parish Planning Committee will have more control over planning applications than it has now and, importantly, the

Borough Planning Committee will also be bound by them.

CAN WE PUT IN ANYTHING THAT WE LIKE?

No. Whilst there is scope to specify additional policies unique to Sherfield, all neighbourhood plans must conform to the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework and the Borough Council’s Local Plan. Therefore, there are limits as to what the Plan can and can’t do; for example, it cannot arbitrarily stop any new development. What it can do is give us our only opportunity to influence the scale and nature of

such development, and ensure it is as good as it can be for our area.

HOW HAVE THE POLICIES BEEN ARRIVED AT?

The draft policies are the result of two years’ work, done by local volunteers with the help of planning experts and, crucially, input from

Sherfield residents through surveys, interviews and open sessions.

In addition, two supporting documents are now available, and were/will be on show at our Open

Sessions:

Details of the specially commissioned local Housing Needs Survey by Action

Hampshire, and

The Sherfield on Loddon Character Assessment. This is an 80-page document that describes the distinct appearance and feel of the parish. This took four months to produce, all of the work done by volunteers, who recorded key

features of the parish in a structured way.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE OPEN

SHERFIELD PARK MATTERS

SHOPS

Construction work appears to be continuing at a cracking pace just across

the road from the Community Centre, and it looks like the new building will

be ready later this year as promised. The SPCA is striving to ensure that

the shop is exactly what residents require - just as soon as construction

will allow. But you can help to make sure of this by simply letting SPCA

trustees know what it is you want in a shop; what is it you most care

about? If you have something you are itching to say then email

[email protected] with your ideas,

suggestions or even your criticisms. The SPCA will listen as it wants to get

this right!

COMMUNITY CENTRE LOFT CONVERSION

By the time you are reading this, the anticipated positive outcome for the

planning application to convert much unused roof space in the SP

Community Centre should be to hand. Supported by the Basingstoke &

Deane Borough Council’s Local Infrastructure Fund, it is planned to provide

a Youth Wing and additional meeting rooms to cater for the growing

demand. Construction is scheduled to begin in the June/July timeframe

and it is hoped to formally open this new facility by November. It is also

hoped that any impact on the ongoing use of the centre will be kept to the

absolute minimum but nonetheless your kindly forbearance will be much

appreciated.

BUMP INTO MUMS

Since 2011 this event has proved to be a valuable weekly focus for many

new parents living locally (or those

shortly to be!). A warm welcome

awaits you at the SPCC on Friday

mornings where you can expect

fresh coffee, homemade cakes, a

good-old-natter or just a flick

through some up-to-date glossies.


In addition toys and blankets are put out for babies, there are areas for

older children to play and some comfy sofas for you to relax and enjoy.

So why not take some time out for yourself for a change? (Dads and

carers are very welcome too, despite the name!) Updates on these and

other topics will feature in the Loddon Valley Link as they progress. And

please remember, residents are most welcome to come along to SPCA

Committee meetings at the Sherfield Park Community Centre at 8 pm on

the last Wednesday of the month. We hope to see you there! For more

information about any of the foregoing please contact:

[email protected]

NEW PARISH COUNCIL

Residents came along to a Pop-Up Café at the Community Centre on

Sunday 7th for a cuppa and a chat and to learn more about the future

Sherfield Park Parish Council. Borough Councillors Paul Miller and Joyce

Bowyer generously gave of their time and know-how to explain how a

new Parish Council is established and how to go about becoming a

Parish Councillor. A timetable showing key dates and actions leading up

to the launch date was on display and a lively debate exposed a number

of residents’ issues and concerns that promise to feature on the agenda

from May 2016. A meeting aimed at anyone interested in becoming a

parish councillor was held at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council on

24 February. If you missed this meeting and are interested in becoming

involved, the following key dates should be of interest.

Mar 30th – Nominations open for parish councillors

April 7th – Nominations close

May 5th - Parish Council elections, 7 councillor positions for SPPC.

Borough elections for Sherfield Park and Chineham

May 6th - Result of Borough elections

May 6th/7th Result of Sherfield Park Parish elections

May 10th – First Sherfield Park Parish council meeting at 8pm at the SP

Community Centre. (Thereafter the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 8pm)

Parish have now been completed – the new boiler in the Village Hall and

the new cesspit for the Recreation Ground Pavilion, which is now ready

for anyone wishing to rent it for any outdoor activities. The Parish

Council hopes to be able to erect some playground equipment in the

near future - funds permitting.

Unfortunately the once a week 154 bus is again under threat of being

cancelled although Peter Smith at BDBC is fighting hard to ensure it

continues. So don’t forget to register your comments on the BDBC

website if possible.

Some of you might be aware that a Stratfield Saye resident was

awarded a VC in the First World War and the Parish will receive a plaque

in commemoration of this soon. The Parish Council are in the process

of deciding where is most appropriate to mount the

plaque. Discussions are also under way to arrange

some kind of celebration of the Queen’s forthcoming

90th birthday and to place a commemorative bench in

the Parish to the late Duke of Wellington.

So if you have any suggestions for the celebrations, position for the

plaque or bench please let me know and I’ll pass them on to the Parish

Council for consideration.

The next Parish Meeting is on 4th April at 7.30p.m. in the Village Hall but

don’t forget to come along to the monthly coffee mornings in the Village

Hall at 11.00a.m. – 7th March and 4th April.

May this year is the time to elect the new Parish Council for Stratfield

Saye so if you are thinking you might be interested in standing for

election as a Councillor please contact me.

NWR Report for March 2016

Our February meeting was our country theme

evening, which this year is Germany. We all

brought along German food and wine. This consisted of rye bread

(pumpernickel), spicy sausage, cheeses, pasta and potato salads,

followed by various meaty stews and for dessert there were an

assortment of cakes including Black Forest Gateau. Some of us had

prepared short talks on aspects of Germany, including one of us who

had lived there in the late 1970s.

We heard about the size of Germany. It is the 7th largest country in

Europe (after Russia, Ukraine, France, Spain, Sweden and Norway)

and is approximately 517 miles by 398 with 1,484 miles of coastline.

It has many neighbours including Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic,

Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the

Netherlands.

A third of Germany is forest and woodland – its most famous forest

being the Black Forest in the south-west. Germany is of course

known for its quality cars, which include Porsche, Mercedes, BMW,

Audi and VW, maker of the iconic

Beetle! We also listened to talks on

German myths and fables (Brothers

Grimm), German inventions and

discoveries (Robert Koch isolating

the TB bacteria and Daimler & Benz

making the first motor vehicle),

German playwrights including

Bertholdt Brecht, and German music which included George Frederick

Handel and the Eurovision winner in 2010, Lena.

We then attempted a quiz which had easy questions such as ‘Which is

the national airline of Germany?’ to harder questions like ‘What is the

name of Germany’s leading table tennis player? (Answers: Lufthansa

and Timo Boll (who?)) As usual, it was a fun evening with tasty food

and some interesting facts.

Our next meeting is a talk by Lt Col Oliver Bartrum, Clerk of the

Clockmakers’ Livery Company of the City of London.

Report from Cllr Joyce Bowyer

As a Borough Councillor for Chineham my role

also takes in Taylors Farm/ Sherfield Park.

After a comprehensive Governance review

Sherfield on Loddon and Sherfield Park will split

making 2 separate Parish Councils with

elections for both Parishes in May 2016.

It is an exciting time for residents of Sherfield Park as for too long

they have been in the minority at Sherfield on Loddon Parish Council,

and they will now be in charge of their own destiny

An Interim Parish Council has been set up, being administered by Cllr

Elaine Still, Cllr Paul Miller and myself as the 3 Borough Councillors.

Already we have set up an informal information morning and approx.

12 people are interested in applying for the 7 places on offer, though

this could change after the information evening at BDBC at the end of

February.

The new Sherfield Park Parish Council will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of

the month, so as not to clash with either Chineham or other

neighbouring Parishes. It is also hoped that in the near future to have

a Parish office at the Sherfield Park Community Centre.

I welcome this change and look forward to both Chineham, Sherfield

on Loddon and Sherfield Park Parish Councils working together for the

good of us all. Finally…The Cufaude Lane re-alignment is on track

and should be finished by the end of March so journeys between

Chineham and Bramley will be back to normal!

Kind regards…. Cllr Joyce Bowyer

The Children’s Society Annual House-box

Collection.

We are pleased to report that all returns were made to the Society by

11th February, a record time!

The total for the Benefice is £415.45. Thank you for helping us achieve

this total. We have lost four box-holders in the past year and more

Volunteers to become Box-holders are always welcome; please contact

Jeannette or Neville Biden [01256 880459] .

Burglaries:

Burglaries are a Local Beat Priority across the whole of

Basingstoke. There have been two reported Burglaries

this month across Bramley and Sherfield which

unfortunately is an increase over last month. All three

were shed burglaries.

Even though the below advice has been on every beat report for nearly

two years I will still promote this advice due to Burglaries being a beat

priority set by the local community and I still visit addresses where the

owner has not completed any of the following advice.

Shed/ Outbuilding:

Multiple (different types) locks on your shed doors. – Mostllocks require different tools to remove.

Place net curtains in the windows of your shed/ outbuilding.

Ensure you have all valuable garden equipment serial numbers stored somewhere safe.

Consider placing a ground anchor lock within your shed/ outbuilding and secure valuable equipment to that with a heavy duty lock.

Consider moving your high value items into your house.

Take pictures of your valuables so if they are stolen and recovered it is easier to find out who the owner is.

Use a UV pen to write your postcode on any equipment so it’s easier to identify the owner.

Home:

Check your insurance documents for any specific security requirements or upgrades.

Ensure side gates are locked to prevent access to the rear of the property.

Ensure rear fencing is in good repair.

Lock all windows and doors, remembering to double lock UPVC doors (lift handle and turn key)

Keep all keys out of reach and sight from the letterbox (remember a device could be used to hook keys through letterbox).

Do not leave ladders and garden tools in your garden, lock them away in your shed.

Continued on Page 42

Improve natural surveillance at the front of your property i.e. trim high hedges.

Consider fitting security lighting and a burglar alarm.

Mark your property with postcode and house number and register your property for free with www.immobilise.com

Make use of timer switches to make the property appear occupied.

Get a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your property.

Remove valuables from view of ground floor windows.

Store any high value items (i.e. jewellery, passports) in a properly secured safe or bank vault.

Anti Social Behaviour:

There have been 4 reports of ASB this month. That is a decrease of 3

reported incidents over the last month. Three incidents were ASB

“Nuisance” and one was “Personal.” The Nuisance reports are all

regarding vehicles, two being about vehicles parked seemingly

abandoned. If this is the case and the vehicle is not obstructing the

road then please contact the local council who will start the process of

having the vehicle removed. Police will not remove the vehicle unless it

is actually parked in a dangerous position (for example: parked in a

position where it is causing other vehicles to take immediate avoiding

action).

A vehicle parked where other drivers need to slow down to pass or

need to give way is not considered dangerous. There has been one

incident where someone has reported speeding along Walsh Road.

Walsh Road has not been adopted by Hampshire Highways Authority

as of yet so there is currently no legally enforceable speed limit.

However, in most cases of reported speeding amongst built up estates,

the vehicles are not actually breaking a speed limit (which would

normally be 30mph.) Vehicles appear to be travelling faster than they

actually are. This is due to other vehicles being parked on both sides of

the road and as a result, the roads seem narrower.

If you suffer from ASB and you are a tenant of social housing then you

will need to report these incidents to your housing officer before you

contact Police. If the offender is also in social housing accommodation

http://www.immobilise.com/

then your housing association will have more powers to tackle it than we

do. If your housing officer believes Police intervention will help then they

will contact us.

A lot of residents have a negative view of how Social Housing Officers deal

with ASB. However they work much in the same way we do, if there is no

evidence or independent witnesses (someone who has witnessed the

incident that has not been involved with either the aggrieved or offending

family) then they cannot take strong action against the offending person/

family.

I would like to encourage all residents to report any incidents of anti

social behaviour to us on 101, or if you are a resident of social housing

and your issues are with a neighbour also living in social housing

accommodation, please report any incidents to your local housing officer.

If the problem then persists then your Housing Officer will contact me.

Please do report ASB because if it doesn’t get reported then I will not

know that it’s happening and therefore I will not be able to focus my patrol

time efficiently.

Nathaniel Johnson (Police, PCSO, Basingstoke District)

Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) Continued

Supporting local enterprise

A bit of fun... an MP is, from time to time, able to nominate a beer from a

brewery from within their constituency to be available at the House of

Commons - where it will be served

to other MPs, Members of the House

of Lords and distinguished visitors.

I'm delighted to nominate Sherfield

Village Brewery, who I have known

since my time as their local Borough

Councillor. It was great to sample

their current delights when I visited

and I'm pleased to announce that

they have a great beer lined up for

Parliament, aptly called "Matters of State"! I'll let you know when it's on!

magazine, and Peter Cook, brewer at Sherfield Village Brewery

Sherfield and District

Gardening Club Our speaker on the 21st March will be Derrick Donnison-Morgan who will be talking about ‘Daffodil & Narcisus Hunting in the Wild’.

Derrick is a professional horticulturalist with over twenty years’ experience in organizing leading and participating in botanical

expeditions worldwide. He will entertain us with beautiful photographs of the many varieties of narcissi that he had found in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. He used to show narcissi but found it so competitive that he was very happy to swap it for living eight years in Spain and hunting for the wild species.

Our April meeting sees the return of Paolo Arrigo from Franchi seeds.

Anyone interested in gardening will be most welcome to join us at the Sherfield Village Hall at 7:45pm.

For arrangements contact Dan on 882680 or Andy on 882350

For your Diary….

LODDON PLAYERS present “Love Begins At Fifty” by Raymond Hopkins, Sherfield Village Hall, 21-23 April. Anita and Clive Debanks have been married for 28 years and have led an uneventful life. But all that is about to change. Although in a

loveless marriage, Clive has never been unfaithful. However, as preparations for his fiftieth birthday are underway, Clive feels that life is passing him by and has a yearning for one last fling. He chooses three prospective partners from the ‘lonely hearts’ column in the local paper. However, the same paper is offering a Caribbean cruise in a competition to find the perfect married couple. Anita enters the competition but keeps it a secret from Clive and then things begin to get complicated ! The action is fast and furious in this hilarious farce. Tickets will be on sale in April.

DANNY SPURRIER

It is with great sadness that I report the death of Danny Spurrier. Danny had been a resident of Sherfield for several years and was a founder member of Loddon Players, appearing in our first production The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley followed by a number successful roles ranging from PC Plod in Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime to Daffyd in A Chorus of Disapproval. When Danny helped form Loddon Players in 2005 he was already an experience actor. Danny was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and is sadly missed by all who had

the joy of knowing him.
