EDITORIAL

Hello everyone,

Well, would you Adam and Eve it‟s nearly

summer? I wish the weather would make it‟s

mind up, I spend all day out in the garden

potting up my seeds and the next thing I

know my greenhouse is taking a battering

from the Fen winds and it‟s all on the floor,

upside down of all things. Back to square

one again I guess! If it‟s not the wind it‟s my

2 year old. I don‟t give up that easily, I just

need a child proof, wind proof environment.

An allotment maybe?! We can certainly say we have a village to be

proud of, this issue just proves it. It‟s great to

see so many people volunteering and giving

up their spare time to help others and the

village. On the front cover we have a girl

guide helping out at the TLC day down the

church yard, she did so well and didn‟t com-

plain at all. You will notice Any Costall is

doing a sponsored walk on page 9, to raise

money for the Rosie.

Issue 139 May 2015

Doddington in the First World War May 1915 Rev William Montague Miller was instituted as the new rector of Doddington, in succession to the late Rev FC Marshall, by the Bishop of Ely. He was previously vicar of Launton, Ox-fordshire for the last 20 years and Rural Dean of Bicester.

A marble clock was presented to Mr EB Clarke senr for his 22 years service as a Church-warden.

At the meeting of the Board of Guardians at the Workhouse a complaint was made about a hearse taking the body of one of the inmates to their funeral proceeding at an inappropriate brisk trot through the village. A letter was sent to the funeral director concerned asking him to observe more decorum and proceed at walking pace through the village and an apology was received from him for this lapse.

The meeting also discussed the marked rise in the number illegitimate children born in the Workhouse.

DHE

To be continued.... 70 Years Ago – May 1945 VE Day as reported by the Cambs Times Doddington celebrated VE Day in style. The village had been gaily decorated with flags and bunting. Mr G Butcher, of Wimblington road, had a giant bonfire on which Hitler‟s effigy was burned. Some houses in the village were floodlighted. Mr T Dolby‟s looked very effective with its red, white and blue lighting. Other bonfires were lit at the George, Three Tuns, Newgate and Ingles lane paddock with effi-gies of Hitler and Goering. Last, but not least, was the funfair in the Three Tuns paddock for the children, and it was noticed that the adults enjoyed it too. Refreshments were served by members of the British Legion Ladies‟ Committee. The members of the Legion provided a barrel of beer to drink the health of the Forces. Dancing, including some old ones, and games were enjoyed until the early hours of the morning. Music was supplied by Felix Pond and Lily and her band (Lily Allen, Len Warnett and Mr Bowers) A service of thanksgiving was held in the Parish Church on the evening of VE Day. The Rector, Rev R Ridge, made mention of the fact that this was one of the greatest moments in the history of this country and also of mankind. There was a large congregation at a thanks-giving service held in the Methodist Chapel on VE Day. Mr Ruse gave the address. DHE

of those needs) and; * is experiencing, or at risk of, abuse or neglect; and * as a result of those care and support needs is unable to protect themselves from either the risk of, or the experience of, abuse or neglect. Examples of jail sentences for crimes involving a breach of trust: Earlier this year, a 38-year-old care worker was jailed for 12 weeks after admitting a string of thefts totalling £260 from the 90-year-old woman she looked after in Ram-sey St Mary‟s. She was also ordered to repay the stolen money on her release from prison plus an £80 victim surcharge. Last year, a 39-year-old man was jailed for more than three years after stealing

more than £60,000 from his elderly and vulnerable great aunt. He had started acting

as a carer for his 78-year-old relative, who had dementia and lived by herself in

Wisbech, but used the role to gain access to her bank cards and made cash point

withdrawals, purchases and transferred

money from the victim‟s account to his

own.

Report it, Stop it - vulnerable adults campaign in May Cambridgeshire police is today (April 30) launching a month-long campaign encouraging people to report concerns about vulnerable adults. Vulnerable adults tend to be more likely to become a victim of crime or abuse but are often less likely to report it for various reasons. That‟s why the force is urging anyone who has concerns about someone – whether they be a relative, neighbour or just someone they know - to "Report it, stop it”. It is the latest strand of the force‟s Get Closer campaign,

which aims to communicate with the public about key issues in a targeted and crea-tive way, and is believed to be the first campaign of its type to be run by a police force. The Care Act 2014, which came into effect in April, puts a statutory responsibility on the local authority, police, the clinical commissioning group and its partners to work together to safeguard vulnerable adults. The force receives more than 6000 reports of adults at risk of abuse each year, which have to be assessed and investigated or passed to a partner agency. The Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) provides a safeguarding response where vulnerable adults have, or are at risk of being abused. It sees a wide range of partner agencies working together to deliver coordinated safeguarding activity in line with requirements under the Care Act. Additionally the force has a dedicated team, the adult abuse investigation unit (AAISU), based at Chord Park, Godmanchester, which is responsible for investigat-ing adult abuse in cooperation with partners. Detective Chief Inspector Neil Sloan said: "Unfortunately, vulnerable adults who are victims of crime or abuse often do not report it because they may feel ashamed, embarrassed, upset or may not even realise they are a victim. "This is why we need everyone to help us protect them by recognising the signs that something is wrong and not turning a blind eye. "It could be your grandparent, another elderly relative or neighbour. Their behaviour may have changed in some way; they could have outstanding bills, or an unusually high credit card balance; these are all signs of potential crime or abuse. "The person taking advantage of the vulnerable adult could be a relative, carer, neighbour, or someone they consider as a „friend‟. "We will take all reports seriously and fully investigate. Those found committing crimes frequently get jail sentences because the offences often involve a breach of trust.” The Care Act states local authorities have safeguarding duties which apply to an adult who: * Has needs for care and support (whether or not the local authority is meeting any

Doddington W.I. Vice President, Linda White, presided over the April meeting. Gemma Watts gave out infor-mation of forthcoming events. The Craft Group will be holding a hands-on demonstration of fabric flowers on 14th April at 7.30pm. Anthea Hart asked for volunteers to knit baby clothes to sell in the Doddington Hospital shop and also baby blankets for HIV babies in Africa. Linda White then gave a demonstration of "Kokedama" which is a Japanese garden art using plants. The root-ball is wrapped in layers of moss and soil with added Japanese clay and then tied up with string. The plants can then be hung in trees or displayed on window-sills. Some members then tried "Kokedama" for themselves with pleasing results. Refreshments were served by Gill Jolley and Suzanne Tucker. Full marks for the competition were given to Natalie Jolly, Margaret Neesom, Mavis Gamsby, Anne Chambers and Meg English. The raffle winners were Sally Graham, Sally Shortland, Meg English, Marjorie Bishop, Valerie Gobie, Margaret Lewis, Aimee Ball and Judith Cornwall. The May meeting will have a Resolution debate, Pippa Grimshaw will talk on Medicines Man-agement and there will be a display by Doddington Craft Group. The competition will be for something interesting beginning with "Z". New members are always welcome.

Andy Costall needs our help, can you help??? Some of you may remember from our front cover page on June‟s issue last year, Andy Costall and Bret Rigby walked 25 miles last year and helped to raise over £3,000 for Hinchingbrooke Maternity ward to buy a photo therapy ma-chine. After Andy and Beth‟s baby was born with heavy jaudince as they realised a photo therapy machine had to be borrowed for their daughters treatment. £700 was raised by the time they did the walk and more was raised afterwards with the help of Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock, Beth‟s brother and a raffle. Not only did they raise enough to buy the machine they also had some left over to buy some specialised mattresses and a few other bits for the ward. Please follow the

Doings facebook page for photo‟s to be posted of the items. Once again this year Andy has decided to do a sponsored walk for the Rosie Ward at Ad-denbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. He plans to walk back to Doddington from Hunstanton at the end of May. As many of you will agree any maternity ward is a worthy cause, and this one is close to Andy‟s heart as well. He will be sorting out a just giving page to make it easier for people to donate, for more information on the event, the just giving page or to donate in cash please pop into the Post Office.

Dear Doddington Parish Council

Can you please inform us as grieving families of loved ones buried in the new part of Dod-dington Cemetery what is happening about cutting the grass?

For those of you who have not recently visit-ed the grass now stands over a foot tall and for those of us with family members/friends buried there it is heartbreaking to see it in this state.

Something needs to be done so we can carry on tending our loved ones grave!

Yours sincerely

Win fantastic prizes and showcase your talent in the Snap the Ouse Photography Competition! In the lead up to the fantastic summer OuseFest celebrations (20th July to 2nd August), the Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership have just launched an exciting Snap the Ouse Photography Competition.

The competition is open to any photographs that define the character and feel of the Ouse Washes and surrounding areas, and that depict what makes our area great. Whether your photographs include landscapes, wildlife, people, buildings or water, you are encouraged to enter. The Ouse Washes Landscape is entirely distinctive and also happens to be immensely beau-tiful. The huge open skies, expansive views, strongly linear landscape features and isolated settlements, as well as the sense of mystery and tranquillity means endless photographic opportunities. The Ouse Washes Landscape is also rich with distinctive Fenland customs, traditions, folklore and arts, which provide limitless inspiration. Sara Marshall, Countryside Engagement & Marketing Officer at the Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership says “we hope the Snap the Ouse Competition will be a fun opportunity for peo-

ple to see their local environment through different eyes, discover new aspects not seen before and capture what their local area means to them”. A shortlisted 12 photographs will be post-ed on the Ouse Washes Landscape Part-nership‟s website for public voting and will also be exhibited at the OuseFest Fun Day on Saturday 25th July at Mepal Out-door Centre. Three winners, one from each entrance category (age 12 or under; 13 – 18; 19 or over), will receive a fantastic basket of prizes worth £50.

Doddington and Wimblington PPG The Doddington & Wimblington Patient Participation Group had an extremely enjoyable and

useful „Living With Arthritis‟ event on Thursday 23rd April. Barry Underwood, the Physiothera-

py lead in the community team at Doddington Hospital and his colleague Alex Milne Senior

Physiotherapist explained how we can help ourselves. Dr Hamblin and Dr Joyce were also

in available, and, as you would expect had some very interesting comments to make. All of

us are extremely grateful for our health professionals giving up their time to help us help our-

selves. I‟m sure we will put into practice the useful information we received to good effect. In

particular although Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease it is not caused by wear and tear.

Keeping active and, as mobile as the condition allows, is better for us all. There are leaflets

in the surgery which give useful advice in that regard. If you have any suggestions about subjects you would be interested in for future events

please let us know – in fact why not come along to our next meeting on Thursday 4th June at

7 pm at the Doddington surgery when we will be discussing future health awareness events.

We would be very grateful for your feedback on the event and look forward to hearing your

views . All patents of Doddington Health Centre are most welcome. Jill Tuck Penny Atkin Chairman Secretary

I have been lucky enough to be selected to go on a Girlguiding Overseas Linked with Develop-ment (GOLD) project to Rwanda. Whilst there I will be training the national and provincial leadership teams along with 5 oth-er girls from all over the UK. For this trip I am required to raise £2600 to cover costs of travel, accommodation, vac-cinations etc. I have started fundraising and am continuing it with a coffee morning being held on Wednesday 13th May 2015 at the Methodist Church Hall Doddington. Please come and join us or to make a donation con-tact me on the above number/email!

Thank you Grace Groves

MAY BULLETIN FROM CAMBRIDGESHIRE FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE Take it to the tip – don’t burn it SPRING is here and lots of households are clearing out, sprucing up the garden and carry-ing out DIY. The majority of Cambridgeshire‟s residents take extra rubbish, old furniture and garden waste to their local waste and recycling centre. However, our crews are still getting called to households and businesses that are choosing have a bonfire instead. We‟re urging you to avoid burning waste and instead dispose of it responsibly. If you do decide to have a bonfire, please make sure you follow these essential tips to avoid a visit from the fire service: Check the weather – never light bonfires in windy conditions. Don't leave bonfires unattended. Build bonfires well clear of buildings, fences and hedge. Never use flammable liquids to start the fire, and never burn dangerous rubbish

such as aerosols, paint, foam furniture, rubber tyres, and batteries. Before you light the bonfire, check that children and animals are not hiding inside

and are a safe distance away. Make sure fire safety still stays at the forefront of your mind in May – and don‟t forget to test your smoke alarm and the smoke alarms of the vulnerable and elderly in your neighbourhood. Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or log on to www.cambsfire.gov.uk for the latest fire safety news and tips.
