Hello fellow Tarringtonians,

As you may have gathered from the last issue, Andy has had to

stand down as editor of the Tatler due to other commitments.

So I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the vil-

lage, to pay tribute to the professional way he has edited and

produced the magazine for so many years. Thank you Andy, you

are going to be a hard act to follow.

As for me, I have lived in the village with my partner John for

a mere 2½ years so there are a great number of you who won’t

know me and whom I don’t know, and a good deal that I don’t

know about the village. Hopefully that will change with time. I

also hope that you already find your magazine interesting and

useful, but it is your magazine so I would love to have your ide-

as on its content. I won’t be able to please everyone but I can

at least give it a go!

Judi Ryan

We extend a warm welcome to Nathan and Rebecca Jack-

man-Smith who have moved into No. 6 Barrs Orchard.

This year is different we are holding all our flu clinics at the surgery.

Why have we made this decision? 1. At the surgery the nurse or doctor can see your medical record. This means; It is safer – the nurse / doctor can see important alerts and will see if you are due any other vaccinations. It will show up if you are overdue for treatment. The information can be put directly on to your rec-ord without any delay. 2. Practical reasons; Easier parking. Access to the Dispensary. Ac-cess to Reception. Quicker process from beginning to end.

In order to prevent large queues please come during the first or second part of the clinic depending on your surname.

Dear all,

When our thirteen year old granddaughter was visiting us a few

days ago, she was anxious to be told the code number of the rout-

er gadget on my desk so that she could link her frightfully clever

mobile 'phone to the internet in our house. I was anxious to help

but my small sense of pleasure that, she was going to, 'look some-thing up', was very brief. “Go and look it up” was a frequent cry of

my parents and to their credit, they had supplied a set of ency-

clopedias for the purpose. So whatever happened to all those en-

cyclopedias; where are they now? For goodness sake, you can't

press wild flowers with a mobile telephone.

It soon turned out that Polly had no intention of expanding her

general knowledge but was more intent on checking the garden for

the existence of 'Pokemon'. Apparently half the world is now do-

ing this, (possibly even readers of the Tatler?); 21 million people

playing 'Pokemon Go' each day in the United States.

Somehow, the 'phone knows where we are and will indicate the

'presence' of these daft little figures on a sort of map and yes

there is, (or was), one by the church and one by the Tarrington

Arms...so, not just dog friendly it seems.

Having established this, I'm not sure what happened next because

I think she went off to see a pony, (a real one) but later in the

day, Henry tried to explain to me how players 'capture' and

'train' these fictional creatures all by pressing those fiddly little

buttons. I sense that his well-intended explanation did rather

trail away in response to my withering look. Whatever happened to

Meccano, I wondered.

LETTER FROM JOHN WATKINS

5

I suppose that I should be pleased that the local pokemon had

made its way to the church and might draw human followers. The

diocese of Suffolk have a whole website about it and apparently

we could make our church into a Pokemon cafe or gym, well fancy

that. I read in the Church Times that the Rev'd. Paul Kingman, in

the diocese of Lichfield, said that the game was “an excellent

way to bridge the gap between the church and those in their

twenties, which was a hard to reach demographic.”

Frankly, I don't see much of this going down well with our Paro-

chial Church Council; a group that would be proud to be described

as “cautious”.

Living in an age that has such an extraordinary pace of change,

it's good to be able to keep your feet on the ground despite it. I

was thinking about all this whilst cutting grass in the churchyard

today; the thought of all those who had done exactly the same, in

so many previous generations, is all rather settling.

In the church, like everywhere else, there will be all sorts of

fashions and changes but in the end, what will matter will be

whether or not we actually care about each other, whether we

really have the time to listen to one another.

And in the wider context, in or out of Europe, with this Prime

minister or the next one, or with any other

political arrangement, the only real hope will

be found in this business of caring and seeing

the love of our Creator in each other.

Yours

John

Update on the results of the June Questionnaire Survey Thank you to everyone who completed the recent questionnaire regard-ing Site 6. The response was excellent with 69% of you responding. In summary, the results indicated that:

- The footpath crossing the site has been used by 75% of the population and the footpath was considered important for community use by 85%

- 70% considered it was important to retain the current route of the footpath - The views in and out of the site were considered important by 70% from

the footpath and by 74% from School Road - There was a notable interest in the flora and fauna observed on or near the

site with 42% of respondents providing details of their observations. - Protecting views (80%), maintaining habitats for wildlife (78%) and protect-

ing open space (74%) topped the league for landscape features to be in-cluded as part of any future development plan

The full results of the survey were provided to Carly Tinkler to help con-struct the Landscape Assessment Report on the site. These, together with the results of the survey conducted in 2014, proved to be invalua-ble evidence of the community’s views for this. The importance of the value of the footpath and its use by the community and the mitigating measures needed for any building development were of particular note. Carly’s detailed professional investigations of the site, have resulted in a comprehensive report. As she explained at the Open Meeting of the NDP Steering Group on 8 July, the topography of the site is relatively complex. There is a domed plateau of high ground running across the centre of the field. The northern side is therefore visually prominent in the wider landscape. As a result, Carly has suggested that any building is restricted to the south-east corner of the site which could accommo-date a small housing development after levelling the site and setting it into the resulting bank on the southern side, to minimise their visibility. Carly’s final report will be available on the Tarrington village website following discussions with HC and the landowner. In the meantime, if you would like a copy of the results of the June survey, please contact John Wilesmith

Do your courgettes have a tendency to turn into marrows over

night? Then you need to know how to make:

Vegetable Marrow Jam

To each 1 lb of marrow allow ¾lb of sugar, 1 lemon, and ¼oz of ground

ginger.

Peel the marrows, remove the seeds, and cut the pulp into small dice

and weigh. Grate the rind and extract the juice of the lemon. Put the

pulp, lemon rind and juice, with the sugar into a basin with the ginger

tied in a muslin bag, and leave all night. Next day, pour the juice

which has formed in the basin into a pan, bring to the boil, then add

the marrow pulp. Boil together for about 1 to 1 ½hours, or until the

pulp becomes transparent and the syrup sets when tested. Put into

pots. Cover and store.

17th September Much Ado About Nothing (1993) (PG) Young lovers Hero and Claudio are to be married in one week.

To pass the time, they conspire with Don Pedro to set a "lover's trap" for Benedick, an arrogant confirmed bachelor, and Be-

atrice, his favourite sparring partner. Meanwhile, the evil Don Jon conspires to break up the wedding by accusing Hero of infi-delity. In the end, though, it all turns out to be "much ado

about nothing."

Director: Kenneth Branagh Writer: William Shakespeare ! Stars: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves

The schedule for the evening will be different from the usual

Flicks. We will open with a wine-tasting (Italian wines, of course !) at

6pm – run the first half of the film at 7pm, then stop for some Italian food, before watching the second half. Should be fin-

ished by 10pm. There will be a small additional charge for the wine tasting –

BUT as a challenge, anybody bold enough to come in costume of the period will be admitted FREE.

Pre-booking would be welcomed, to aid us in catering and providing enough wine !

Tarrington Parish Council Meeting Monday 11th July 2016 Report from Backbury Ward Councillor, John Hardwick: At the annual meeting of Herefordshire Council on 20th May, the Cabinet had been reshuffled and new Leader of the Council elected. Link road for A49 and start of work on Western by-pass agreed. Neighbourhood Development Plans had been adopted by three villages: Fownhope, Wellington and Greenfield & Little Hereford. Public participation session for local residents to raise matters relevant to the Parish Council: Resident reported problems with lit-ter in Little Tarrington at the passing space, where drivers sometimes stop for a lunch break, and near the railway bridge, where railway workers stop for their lunch. Now that the Millpond is open, there is a problem with bags of dog waste left in the lane. Request for litter bins. The road in Little Tarrington needs resurfacing as potholes are a major problem, especially access to the Millpond. There are over-grown hedges along the footpath from Little Tarrington to Tarrington, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk on the pavement. Residents at Garbrook are parking on the pavement. Parish Council Clerk will ask Network Rail to provide a bin for their workers, look into the provision of litter bin, request that the Millpond remind campers to use dog walking area and dispose of dog waste responsibly, repeat requests to Balfour Beatty for repair of Little Tar-ringoton Road and cut verge along footpath from Little Tarrington to The Myrtles. Councillors will contact residents at Garbrook to point out that pavement parking is illegal and there is a marked parking area on the road and will contact residents along the main road who have overgrown hedges. Report back to next meeting. New benches: Councillors have volunteered to install two new benches over the next few months. Old bus shelter: Councillors have volunteered to demolish and re-move it in order to improve access from footpath to pavement.

PARISH COUNCIL MEETING

Contd…

Speeding on A438 at Garbrook: It was agreed to redouble our ef-forts, which have been ongoing over many years, to get a Traffic Reg-ulation Order to extend the 30 miles per hour speed limit from before the bend at Garbrook to beyond Station Road towards Hereford. The Parish Council will need to raise funds to do this and for gates to be installed on verges before Garbrook and after Station Road. Neighbourhood Development Plan: At a meeting on 8th July, which was poorly attended by residents, it was agreed that the Landscape Assessment would be forwarded to our consultant, David Nicholson, who is writing our NDP. Results of questionnaire on footpath crossing site 6 will be published on notice boards and all reports and support-ing information can be found on our website: www.tarrington.org.uk Cllr Janette Ward

Firstly we would like to thank all of you who have expressed an interest in setting up this scheme and those of you who have answered the draft questionnaire. Your participation is much appreciated. Secondly we are writing to say that it has been agreed that as a result of the questionnaires and discussions with a cross section of residents we have decided to put the development of the scheme on hold at this time. It is clear that the requirement to have a Neighbour Development Plan has taken a lot of energy from potential volunteers and has created a de-gree of disquiet amongst residents. Therefore following discussion at the Parish Council it has been agreed that the matter be on hold for the time being. If however there is anyone out there who really wants to take the matter further do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you again to those who have supported the idea of a Good Neigh-bour Scheme.

TARRINGTON FRIENDSHIP CLUB

We had planned an outing to Edwin Ralph gardens near Bromyard in June but unfortunately the weather thwarted our trip. The own-ers said that everyone cancelled that day because of the torrential rain. But our strawberry tea at The Nest in July was well attended. The staff were all very attentive and helpful. The new owners of this cafe have developed it considerably including the sale of many local food and drink products. We will keep our fingers crossed for a lovely day for our annual garden party. This year Judi and John Wilesmith are holding it at Barrs Court. Also planned for August is a trip with The Willow Trust on their boat on the canal in Gloucestershire. Always a great day out. One of our members, Reg is organising a ‘true’ or ‘false’ quiz, for September. If anyone reading this would like to join us,we meet the first Wednesday of every month at the Lady Emily Hall. If any member needs transport to Tarrington we can also organise that for you. Jan Pierce - volunteer. .

“The Church fete, that was

held at The Vine on 9th July,

was a jolly affair that took

place to the splendid accom-

paniment of Tarrington

Brass. Mrs Williams' 'White

Elephant' stall did particular-

ly well with an excellent dis-

play of White Elephants, in

which, there was much inter-

est shown......”

It could have been written

100 years ago by the Rec-

tor of the time, the Rever-

end Alfred Green-Price

and we could almost use

the same opening lines to

describe this year's event.

In that way, our Church

fete is probably pretty

timeless and still can

entertain a goodly

crowd and it really was

lovely to have Tarring-

ton Brass back with us

and The Vine garden

looking as charming as

ever.

Tarrington Church Fete

17

Amongst the new attractions this year there was an 'assault course' organ-

ised by Sargent Cameron of the Signals Regiment and his chum which

produced a good deal of competi-

tion amongst youngsters and with

some older visitors who should

have known better. Relative new-

comers to the village won the

Tarrington quiz, whilst some

who had lived here all their lives,

scratched their heads with looks

of puzzlement. It's a good job

they don't have to pass the Citizenship

test is all I can say. The prize was a de-

lightful little cup skillfully turned by the

Tatler's new editor, Judi, and out

of limbs of the Church Yew

that had been pruned some

years ago.

The mega-fete organisers,

Sally and Beverley, were not

able to help this year and so

amongst other changes, the

raffle prize winner, who

might otherwise have won a

slap up meal for two at Led-

bury's best Restaurant, had to

put on a brave face and settle

for the 'Bath Salts in a presen-

tation box'. It looked strange-

ly familiar; but it's all good fun isn't it.

Does your parish need to raise money? As part of the Herefordshire Historic Churches Trust (HHCT) fund raising activities in 2017 we are launching an exciting new Garden Scheme. For the programme we are looking for garden owners who would be prepared to open their gardens, and more particularly parishes where a number of owners are prepared to open on the same day as part of a ‘village trail’. Takings would be split 50:50 between the nominated church of the owners and HHCT. Publicity, marketing and advice to own-ers would be provided by HHCT. The scheme is based on a similar one which has been operating very successfully for a number of years in Shropshire, which raises approximately £30,000pa.

If you are interested in becoming part of this very worthwhile initia-tive please contact John Handby , email john.handby@btinternet.com or tel. 01989 730842 in the first in-stance for an informal discussion of what is involved.

In June we took our annual trip to a garden and this year it was to The Croose in Woolhope which is a lovely old farm house surrounded by a beautiful garden. This was very large and split into individual plots very much like cottage gardens. The afternoon was much enjoyed as were the tea and cakes provided. This was a lucky afternoon after the rain in the morning. Margaret Lockwood told us about her trip around the world in July, unfortunately she could not get her computer to allow us to see her pictures. This is for another time! Margaret was visiting her daughters in America and relatives in New Zealand but took time to visit the North Island of New Zealand before going to the South Island to again visit relatives. Her time in Hong Kong was very interesting and she said she did not feel threatened in any way. It was lovely to hear about her trip, we all found it most interesting. For our August Meeting we are having an evening with Joy Wright meeting at Swann House at 7.30p.m. In September we have a Patch-work and Quilting evening with Mrs. Kate Price. Margaret Townsend.

If you can picture yourself in the role of an Onside volunteer please call Claire Watkins - Volunteer Manager on 01905 27525 or email claire.watkins@onside-advocacy.org.uk to find out more. This type of vol-unteering can be very flexible to fit with your life and circumstances. Free training (throughout the year) is provided and all expenses paid.

Thinking about Volunteering – “just do it!” Onside offers advocacy to people who are struggling to cope with a situation due to their vulnerability in life. More volunteers are needed throughout Herefordshire to support local people. Advocacy volunteer-ing is a way of supporting and empowering people to ensure that they have their voice heard and their wishes made known to others . On-side’s Volunteer Manager, Claire Watkins, said “Our volunteers give their time, their passion and enthusiasm, we need continued help from willing volunteers who would enjoy supporting people in their local community.”

Volunteers are ordinary people of all ages and backgrounds they just need to be good listeners and have some time to give. Elizabeth one of our volun-teers, said “if you are think-ing about volunteering I would say “DO IT!”. I have had so much pleasure al-ready, It’s a wonderful feel-ing when you know you’ve helped and made even a small difference to some-one else’s life. Since retir-ing I felt I wanted to give something back, volunteer-ing with Onside means I can do this along with knowing it’s a very worth-while use of my time.”
