Samuel
Silence, until little Samuel, who is three
and sitting in the front row, jumped
up and said “I don’t know!” His mum
blushed, everyone else laughed. It
was a really great start to our service.
I should have asked him the follow up
question “Why aren’t more people
here?” I think he would have given
the same answer, “I don’t know!”
Samuel has a great time at church:
he is loved, accepted, occupied and
could find yourself ‘belonging’ like
Samuel, to a group that accepts him.
Pilning Church folk would welcome
you with open arms! There is
something for everyone, and it keeps
villages alive!
I am reminded of an old story. Fred
was getting desperate, he needed
a big win. “Oh Lord” prayed Fred
“please let me win the lottery” and
the Lord spoke to Fred and said “Fred,
Fred, first you have to get off your
backside and buy a ticket!”
Roy
May your New Year be full of nice
surprises!

Rubbish
I opened my front door this morning and
gazed in horror. My front lawn (such as
it is) was covered with the evidence of
the last few meals we have had this week
by way of wrappings. I am pretty good at
recycling; in fact I have been doing it long
before it was acceptable to do it. People
used to think I was crazy...don’t answer
that! Anyway, there it all was, strewn all
over the place. My first thought was the
fox and then common sense told me that
the fox can’t chew through dustbins so I
look a bit closer and the evidence was
clear. My husband is pretty bad at shutting
the lids on the bins, although he denies it,
and on this occasion he had dropped the
lid very loosely and a strong gust of wind
had opened it up and all the stuff lying
on the top and in various places in the
bin had escaped, lifted by the wind into
my garden.
I rushed round picking it all up and then
went to have my breakfast, taking with
me a bit of a smell. I couldn’t figure out
where it came from until I realised it was
my hands, the smell was my rubbish, so I
washed my hands and while I was doing
this the following thoughts came to me.
The Spirit of God is rather like that wind,
in fact at Pentecost it came down with
a flame as well. Psalm 139 tells us that
we can’t run from God, he will find us
and when he/she does there will be this
sudden surge and out will come all the
nasty things we have been popping into
the bin of our mind, and possibly our
heart and we will get a clean slate. It may
be a messy, smelly process but when we
let Christ into our lives we become like
the Baby that will have been born by the
time you read this, clean and sin free.
That’s the gift of God and we can take
it or leave it, but, trust me, I took it and
it’s wonderful to feel that the rubbish, the
really bad, stinking stuff is gone and I feel
clean. That’s not to say I shan’t collect
some more over the weeks, days ahead,
but every so often that wind comes, the
love of God and I feel free again. Try it.
Why not make a New Year Resolution to
find out more about God’s love for us?
Happy New Year

Pilning & Severn Beach Parish Council
The Council met on Monday 7th
December 2015 at Severn Beach
School, Severn Beach at 7pm as per
the published agenda for a meeting
of the Parish Council.
Following the recent resignation of
Sarah Smith and following a period
of due notice the Parish Council
co-opted Ian Roberts of Little Green
Lane, Severn Beach. Ian is currently
Chairman of the Pilning Village Hall
management committee.
COVER STORY
I really like photo's of our local area, buildings,
bridges, sunsets etc, and when PETE THOMAS
gave me this one l thought "why not". Yes, it is
industrial, but that provides work for people, and it is
a very futuristic building - a very up to date rubbish
tip!
No doubt it is environmentally friendly, probably it
incinerates rubbish and turns it into electricity or
something useful. Wouldn't it be nice to know? I do
worry about that whopping great stack, it reminds
me of the 'yellow peril stack 'that lCl used to have on
this site - poisonous vapour streaking the sky.
So, I sent SITA, the owners, an email, offering them
some free publicity to tell our villagers what they are
doing. I have to report that, for the second contact
I have made with them I have had no reply. l just
hope that the 'Dear Editor’ column in this magazine
won't be the forum for complaints about pollution,
smells, flies and noise once it’s up and running.

Editor
The meeting heard from Becky
Cooper regarding a new defibrillator
for the Parish and it was agreed to
fund the service charge of a new
‘smart’ cabinet once installed along
with the service charge for the
existing two cabinets.
We are still looking for a willing
volunteer - can you help? The
Parish Council and Severn Beach
Village Hall Committee are looking
for a willing volunteer to assist in
seeking grants for projects in the
Parish. Support will be given but it
needs someone who has the time to
give to this type of work. If you are
interested, please contact the Clerk
in the first instance.
The next Parish Council meeting will
take place on Monday 4th January
2016 at Pilning Village Hall, Pilning.
If you are interested in being added
to the mailing list to receive local
information from time to time, please
contact the clerk.

Dear Ward Members,

Saturday 21st November an extra elective
surgery day was arranged and some 12

year.

Councillor for Pilning & Severn Beach.
Start the New Year with a resolution to
help others in your community
We are contacted regularly by groups
and organisations that are seeking to
recruit volunteers from all walks of life
and time available. These opportunities
vary between clerical work, working with
the disabled or vulnerable adults in the
community, fundraising and marketing,
counselling and emotional support, shop
work, driving, working in local schools
and much more. The majority of these
organisations would be unable to survive,
and valuable community services would
be lost, if volunteers were not to be
found.
Now that Christmas is just a happy
memory, getting out and about in
your local area and helping others less
fortunate than yourselves is a good way
of banishing those winter blues. Finding
ways to occupy your time, which are
both enjoyable and worthwhile, can
instantly make you feel that you are
making a valuable contribution to your
community.
There are many reasons that people give
for volunteering. For some, volunteering
can be a route to employment, or a
chance to try something new which
may lead to a career change. For others,
volunteering appeals because of its
social benefits, meeting new people and
making new friends.
On top of this, many people volunteer
for a variety of other reasons, a desire to
make a difference to the lives of others,
feeling valued, having quality time away
from work or a busy lifestyle.
Thornbury Volunteer Centre can provide
you with information and support on
volunteering opportunities in the local
area which best suit your needs, skills
and time available, whilst making sure
that you find volunteering an enjoyable
and worthwhile experience.
Age, gender or disability is not a barrier
to volunteering. Anyone, who is able to
spare some time, from an hour a week to
once a month or just on a one-off basis,
would be warmly welcomed by someone
in the community.
Volunteering is a valuable experience
that benefits all parties.
If you would like to find out more please
contact Thornbury Volunteer Centre on
01454 413392; email mail@volunteer‐
thornbury.co.uk ; visit our website on
www.volunteer‐thornbury.co.uk; follow
us on twitter: @thornburyvc or Facebook:
thornburyvolunteers. Alternatively, call
into the office at Thornbury Town Hall
between 10.30am‐12 noon Monday to
Friday. We look forward to meeting you.

forwarded me an article that she was

In the article it states that we are, as
a nation, declining in the amount of
regular exercise we do and that she
and all health professionals need to
embark on a policy of telling patients to
increase the amount of regular exercise
they do. We are 20% less active than in
the 60’s and if we keep going the same
way we will be 35% less active by 2030.
Physical inactivity is one of the top ten
causes of UK ill health, responsible for 1 in
6 deaths but if we introduce 30 minutes
of exercise (that raises our heart rate) 3
to 5 times per week, there is powerful
evidence that this type of physical
activity is a ‘miracle cure’ capable of
preventing and managing over 20 long
term conditions.
It goes on to say that one in four people
would be more active if they were told
to do it by their GP – I’d like to save you

the ‘weaker sex’ showing us how wrong
we were.
THE SODBURY SLOG
This is a multi terrain challenge over 9.8
country miles run through fields, ditches,
mud baths, sheep dips & pig troughs.
The race always coincides with
Remembrance Sunday with the playing
of the last post & 2 minute silence before
the race.
I have run this race several
times before & love it for the challenge
& camaraderie, everyone helps one
another out of the mud & sometimes to
find lost trainers.
The race organisers didn’t let us
down this year, there was plenty of mud,
water & cow slurry & even an encounter
with some worried cows on the common.
The weather was perfect for running
and I finished in a respectable time of
1hr.52min. My trainers were sent to the
graveyard & I can’t wait until next year!
My next race is the Christmas cracker
which is run along the beach in Westonsuper-Mare and around the town where
I wear a blinged up tutu with lots of
tinsel.

Well what a month the Rainbows have
had! We thought our highlight of the
month was an individual reply to the letter
that we sent to Her Majesty the Queen.
The Queens lady in waiting thanked us
for our letter and for our racing corgis
and thought we seemed to have rather a
lot of fun! (We do)
Each year the girls choose an animal to
adopt and this year they have chosen an
otter from Secret World Wildlife Hospital.
The girls all get a certificate and take it
in turns to take the mascot home for a
week. We started this tradition when in
Dec 2011 we were talking about a badly
neglected foal that was abandoned in a
very poor state and the girls asked could
they do anything to help.
Our third highlight came with we received
our certificates from Bristol Children’s
Hospital for the money the girls raised
while taking part in the Shaun the Sheep
trail.
And then we had a fourth! With our ever
popular Campfire Challenge badge. To
earn the badge the girls need to learn
how to light a match safely, learn some
first aid, play some campfire games,
decorate a mug, make a camp blanket,
make smores*, (smores are toasted
marshmallows squashed between two
chocolate biscuits) drink hot chocolate
and sing a few songs around a real
campfire. When the big day came the
weather was kind to us and with the help
of Abigail & dad, Gareth Harris, it all went
off without a hitch. Well done to Lucy,
Alex, Lexie & Lily who all made their
promise outside by the campfire. And
a special well done to Dot, who knew
what to do when granny had a small fire
at home!
We also were lucky enough to meet
Santa on his special steam train at Bitton!
He sent the girls’ postcards saying how
much he was looking forward to meeting
them and on the day he give them all gift.

LETTER TO ‘IN VIEW’ READERS FROM SARAH SMITH
Dear Residents of Severn Beach and Pilning,
I'm writing this to you, as it is with regret that I have had to take the decision to step
down from the Parish Council. Unfortunately I have had a long time of illness, and
this coupled with the council work being a lot more than I originally understood it to
be, has meant that I cannot fulfil my role as a councillor, (and certainly not serve this
parish as I would have hoped to).
EasterComptonNHWDecember2015
Mostly I want to thank everybody in the community who supported me, both in the
Christmasiscoming
elections as well as during my time on the council. I really value all the kind words
and encouragement. Whilst I hope that I have managed to bring a few things to the

Aladdin
The Thornbury Musical Theatre Group will be performing ‘Aladdin’ at the Armstrong
Hall in Thornbury from Wednesday 10th to Saturday 13th February.
This traditional pantomime of the famous Oriental rags to riches tale has jokes galore,
provides ample opportunity for audience participation, slapstick and a vibrant mix of
singing and dancing - a perfect pick you up for mid-February, suitable for all ages.
The refreshingly new script, written by Alan P. Frayn, is a laugh-a-minute and adds
another dimension to the great panto classic. Join Aladdin as he falls in love with the
beautiful Princess, seeks out his fortune and returns to claim her hand in marriage.
Along the way, Aladdin will shirk from his duties in the laundry, hide from a dodgy pair
of policemen, overcome the trickery of a deceitful “Uncle” and benefit from the powers
of the genie of the lamp. When all seems lost, along comes the good Spirit to right all
wrongs, ensuring a happy ending.
Performances start at 7.30pm nightly and there will also be matinees at 2.30 pm
on the Friday and Saturday. Tickets are bookable online at www.tmtg.org.uk. £12
Adults, £10 Concessions and a family ticket for 4 costs £36. Group discounts of 10%
can be arranged via our Box Office for 10+ seats. For enquiries call Angie at the Box
Office on 07516 270140. Tickets are also available at Lisa Costa Residential Sales
and Lettings at 53 High Street, Thornbury from the beginning of January.
For more information about ‘Aladdin’ and our group generally, take a look at www.tmtg.
org.uk or contact us by e-mail at [email protected]. You can also follow us

There was lots of singing going on this
term as Miss Carrigher and Mrs Phipps
have started a lunchtime choir club
which is proving very popular.
Reception and Key Stage One performed
‘A Wriggly Nativity’ to proud parents
and friends while Key Stage Two joined in
with the singing.
The pupils in the Key Stage One choir
were invited to AstraZeneca again this
year. They sang carols for the employees
at their Christmas party and enjoyed
a yummy buffet lunch! It was another
lovely occasion and we are very grateful
to AstraZeneca for their kind donation
of 3 more iPads.
The choir also went next door to the
Village Hall and sang carols for the over50s club and were happy to help them
eat their tea afterwards too!
Years 4, 5 and 6 went to the South
Gloucestershire Schools Carol Service
at Clifton Cathedral. This is always a
lovely festive occasion, made even more
special with the addition of a live donkey
and Baby Jesus!
The Everyman Theatre came into school
and each class took part in a drama
workshop with them.
The Friends organised the Christmas
Fayre which was very well attended and
helped raise much-needed funds for the
school. Thank you to those of you who
came and supported us.
Term 2 was nicely rounded off with
Christmas lunch, parties and an end of
term disco.
On behalf of the staff and pupils, we hope
you all had a Happy Christmas and wish
you a peaceful New Year.
