DIDN’T WE DO WELL!!
The rain held off just long enough and the Jubilee celebrations were a
huge success. We have reports and pictures from all the events in
Tingewick in the blue centre section, and Water Stratford on page 28, with
a poem, no less, on page 29. On page 4 we have a related letter.
Page 15 has all the information about the Horticultural Society Annual
show.
We have a couple of particularly interesting and worthwhile charity events
- one climbing up and the other falling down. Page 17 reports on a
Tingewick girl who is climbing Kilimanjaro for her charity. The Royal
Oak advert on page 10 details a charity bungee jump that Tony Diston
(yes really!) and others are undertaking. That I must see!!!
A late reminder for a couple of village hall events happening on the 29th
of June and the 1st of July - see page 11.
Look out for aphorisms and paraprosdokians to amuse you inside....
Finally a couple of pleas..
As I reported recently I am going to re-issue the Directory of Local
Services. Any local business/club can have a free entry. At the risk of
sounding like a Direct Line advert - there really is no catch - it really is
completely FREE, whether you advertise with us or not. Contact me!
A more serious note to parents. A while ago I raised the issue of
children playing on the road on Main Street and around the junction
with Sandpit Hill. I regret to say a few children have recently been
playing in middle of the road on their scooters and even played football
across the road. Worse still, they have chosen the evening rush hour to
do it. Perhaps danger is the attraction. So please speak to your children
about it. Ask them what (safe!)facilities they would like at the recreation
ground. The Parish Council are keen to hear their views and there could
be a real opportunity to provide somewhere that is safe to play.

Your Letters
Dear Ed,
As a key holder for the church, I quite often get visitors who ask to look around,
usually looking for traces of ancestors, but this week the comments of a couple
seemed worth passing on...
One said “ We drive through Tingewick sometimes and usually thought it a bit dull,
but this has changed our minds. The display of local history, wonderful patchwork
etc were fascinating and the flowers were worthy of any great cathedral.
An American lady said “ All fabulous and so interesting. I will take the idea of the
memorial pew posies leading up to the alter home with me, and tell my home church
all about it. I know they will just love it!!!”
Very often the huge amount of thought, time and effort that is needed for this sort
of celebration is overlooked.
So I just thought it would be nice to let all involved know that they really are
admired and appreciated by many.

Can you help Kitty Norwell from Tingewick raise a smile?
Kitty Norwell is a 20 year old photography student
currently studying at Bournemouth University. She
grew up in Tingewick, and this coming September
she is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the charity
Smile Train! Kitty is aiming to raise £1500, which will
enable ten children to have the corrective surgery
that will completely change their lives.
In preparation for the climb kitty has gone on a climbing, camping and
team building training course in the Forest of Dean with her group. She has also been riding her
bike along Bournemouth coast every night after university and is now circuiting the countryside
surrounding Tingewick most evenings after work. Before the climb in September she is also due
to climb Mount Snowdon as a warm up exercise with her climbing buddy, and university housemate, Nat.
To fund the actual trip itself, Kitty used her savings earned working at several different jobs from a
young age - most recently from her photographic work alongside her father Ian Norwell who
works as a Commercial Motors Journalist.
“I am really looking forward to the whole experience of climbing Kilimanjaro. Taking part in a trip
that enables me to see and experience so much truly is a privilege. From flying out there, meeting
the locals, experiencing the whole range of African temperatures and weather conditions, camping, climbing and living with the team and porters, and of course - reaching the summit and seeing the sunrise above the clouds! But the warm feeling inside doesn’t stop there, because even
when the trip is over I will know that I have partly helped change the lives of ten children. Choosing a charity was really hard, but Smile Train is by far one of the most efficient and effective ones
around.”
Smile Train gives children all over the world, born in developing countries, a second chance at life,
by administrating a basic surgery that only costs £150 per child. Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts.
Most cannot eat or speak properly, aren't allowed to attend school or hold a job, and face very
difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache. Their clefts usually go untreated
because they are poor – too poor to pay for a simple surgery that has been around for decades.
Being born with a cleft in a developing country is truly a curse. Every baby born in Uganda with a
cleft is given the name Ajok which means literally, “cursed by God.” Some newborns are killed or
abandoned right after birth.
Please visit http://www.justgiving.com/kitty-norwell-kilimanjaro for more information and donate
anything you can to this amazing cause. All the money that is raised will go straight to the charity.
Which is described in the New York Times as being "one of the most productive charities - dollar
for deed - in the world"

The Diamond Jubilee Weekend
What a fantastic, action packed weekend it was!
Little did we realise when the weekends events were planned that we had picked the
perfect day, weather wise, to hold the outdoor events.
Tingewick looked extremely festive with all the patriotic street bunting zigzagging through
Main Street and beyond, thanks to Richard and Alastair Fenemore. The houses that had
gone to so much effort to continue the theme all round the village are to be commended
for their imagination and decorative skills!
The first event of the weekend was the Tea Dance on Saturday afternoon in the Village Hall.
Tea Dance
The Jubilee Celebrations began with a step back in time as the village hall was transformed for an afternoon of ballroom dancing.
The programme created by Hazel Thurlow was a tremendous success with dances offered
for all abilities. The pasadoble was great fun and Lois Houghton-Brown took first prize
for her impression of a bull!
The dancing was complemented by a high tea of sandwiches, cream scones and Victoria
sponges being served by traditionally dressed tea maids.
Overall the event was a great success and something the committee would be keen to do
again, so watch this space.
Carol Doherty
'Tingewick's Got Talent'
What a night! We had a wonderful evening - the sun shone, the village hall was full, our
sixteen or so talented performers pulled out all the stops, causing the audience to erupt
with heavy clapping and appreciation.
Our performers ranged from 5 years old to
older! and I would like to thank Anthony,
Liz and Liv, Freddie, Jessica, Chloe, Ben,
William, Edward and Rory, Charlotte, Stuart,
Robbie, Eleanor, Ashaleigh and Hannah,
Alex, Bethany and 'All that Jazz' (Alec on
Alto Sax, Caz on Clarinet and Steve on Bass
Guitar.) for taking part. It is a huge thing to
stand up on stage and perform, and they all
managed it wonderfully.
Apart from singing, and the playing of the
accordion, guitar, keyboard and violin, we
were treated to some magic, break dancing, recitation and a musical trio for the finale.
Unfortunately Mary Watkins was unable to join us for the performance, but we thought of
her and wished her well as Anthony read her poems.
Thank you to everybody for coming along to support the performers, and to parents and
friends, for helping them practice.
Thank you to the Everest Family for the loan of their keyboard, to Stuart for organising

the microphones, and to Caz and Steve for lending their computer for backing! Thanks too
must go to Fran and all her helpers who decorated the hall for all the events, and for
refreshments. To Tony Diston for being over the road so that he could supply drinks before
the interval!
I hope that we can have another 'Tingewick's Got Talent' next year at about the same
time. Watch this space!
Lois Houghton Brown
Jubilee Church Service
The village gave strong support to the service that celebrated
the Queen’s Jubilee on Sunday, 3rd. June. Over 100 adults
and children braved the weather and made their way up
Church Lane to Saint Mary Magdalen, encouraged by the bell
ringers who played both before and after the service.
Hannah Smart (our youngest bell ringer) and Peter Smith
(Chairman of the Parish Council) each read a lesson and I
had the satisfaction and pleasure in taking the service that
the Rev’d Liz Simpson had compiled for our use around the
Benefice.
Saint Mary Magdalen was dressed for the occasion. The
flowers and their arrangements were breathtakingly
beautiful. I wasn’t the only one to be impressed. The
exhibitions attracted interest, both on the Sunday and the
following two days of public holidays, when the church was
open for people to browse them. The Tingewick Patcher’s Jubilee Quilt, The Trades of
Tingewick exhibition on loan from the Historical Society, the school children’s art exhibition
and the pew end ‘in memorium‘ flower displays all played a part in making the service a
memorable event. Our thanks to the many people who were involved in designing and
constructing them.
Chris Carter.
Procession/Sports
At 12’o clock Princesses and Kings began gathering at the bottom of Church
Lane. All the children had union jack
flags. Then the band began to play
and everyone was off, led by Claire
Groves and Felicity Fenemore; wheeling scooters, riding bikes and pushing
pushchairs. It was a long walk for
some, but the spectators and the VW
Camper at the rear ensured no-one
got left behind, the latter patiently
waited as I struggled to free my
daughter’s white gown from the wheel
of her scooter only yards from the recreation ground. From within the procesTingewick and District News

sion it felt great to walk along the road waving to familiar faces – I hope everyone
enjoyed it.
At about 2pm some of the children at the fete took part in some ‘sports day’ style races.
My fantastic assistant Ben Schellenburg organized the children into roughly equal teams
and they enjoyed a couple of team relays, as well as egg & spoon, sack and 3-legged races.
Charlotte Marsden helped with shouting instructions to the excited youngsters, and Dominic Bell & David Smart issued stickers to the winners of each race. Everyone went away with
medals, lollies and smiles – so I think it was a success.
Rebecca McNaught
Fete Beer Festival
The best ever!
It must have been the fingers firmly crossed and the prayers offered that ensured the
good weather broke through long enough for us to enjoy what many people said was “the
best ever fete”.
In spite of numerous other local Jubilee attractions, residents turned out in large numbers
to support the event and help make it an outstanding success.
After the fancy dress procession had paraded down Main Street and assembled in the
arena for the judges’ verdict, the Official Opening was performed in style by The Speaker
of the House of Commons, John Bercow MP
The sun shone, residents poured in and the afternoon was
buzzing. Music from Alec Bone and Friends was adding to
the lively atmosphere, the real ale and Pimms were
disappearing rapidly, as were the tea and cakes in the
refreshment tent. The pig roast and the BBQ sold out and
there wasn’t a crumb left on the cake stall. In the
background the sun was bouncing off the gleaming polish
of the magnificent classic car display with a total of 84
cars, including a lorry and a motorised bicycle.
The dog show was a major attraction, as usual, along
with the newest event, the ferret racing, a real country
pursuit! The decorated cake competition saw some highly
creative interpretations of the Jubilee theme.
All stallholders and attractions were busy throughout the
afternoon, keeping visitors entertained and amused and raising funds for their various
groups and charities. (There is no charge for local groups and organisations who are able
to retain everything they raise)
Thanks must go to the Fete Committee and their families, and to all their helpers who, as
well as helping on the day, also braved the bad weather when setting up on Sunday and

Jubilee Concert
Tingewick’s Jubilee celebrations were drawn to a close to the sounds of our own live
concert brought to us by Bernie Marsden
and his band with the help and
organisational skills of Dave Partridge.
More than 200 people made their way up
to the recreation ground to enjoy an evening
of high quality music, dancing, beer and
bacon baps.
As the sun went down, the concert was
opened by Cherry Lee Mewis and her band,
who lived up to the description on her
website of ‘powerhouse singer songwriter
Afterwards, Tingewick was treated to a mix
of well-known Blues and rock songs by
Bernie Marsden, finishing with his most famous ‘Here I go again’.
Friends in the village who had young family from outside of the village concluded that
‘Tingewick rocks’!
The Diamond Jubilee events raised considerably more money than was expected and
approximately £2000 will be distributed to village charities in the near future
There are still some free children’s mugs that are unclaimed.
In addition there are still a few left for sale if you want one.

☺☺ CRIME CANNOT FLOURISH IN A COMMUNITY THAT CARES ☺☺
Your monthly Neighbourhood Update is now available for your area. Use the link below to find out

SUMMER BURGALRY REDUCTION PROGRAMME
At this time of year, with warmer weather and people enjoying their gardens it can be all too easy to
inadvertently give burglars an invitation into your home.
In around 25% of offences in the spring and summer months, entry is gained through insecure windows and doors.
Opportunist burglars might:• enter an insecure front door while residents are in the back garden
• enter doors that are closed but unlocked at night.
• reach through open windows to take valuable items
To help reduce the risk of becoming a victim of burglary, consider the following advice:• Ensure that windows and doors are closed and locked when you are out.
• When out in your back garden ensure that windows and doors to the front of the house are secure.
It only takes seconds for someone to get into your home and take things without you noticing.
• Do not leave valuables on display in front of windows or in reach of open windows or doors.
• Consider fitting outside security lighting or a visible alarm to help deter burglars.
• Don’t leave any keys near entry points where they can be ‘fished’ or ‘hooked’ out through windows, letter boxes or cat flaps.
• Double lock uPVC doors when you are out and overnight – by pulling up the handle and locking,
using the key.
Security of sheds and outbuildings:Sheds are often unprotected and lack basic security measures. They often contain property that can be
sold on or implements that could be used to force entry into the owner’s home.
• By using tamper proof screws or coach bolts together with a good quality pad bar or hasp and staple and close shackled padlock, the shed owner will make it harder for the would-be thief.
• Bond window glass in, with mastic to prevent easy removal. Windows can also be fitted with a
grille.
• Ensure all tools are locked away when not in use.
• A shed alarm can also be installed.
• Post-code all property such as lawnmowers, bikes, and tools, using UV pens, engravers or even
household paint. Forensic marking kits, such as Selecta DNA or Smartwater, are also available to purchase.
If you are going on holiday consider:• Make your home look occupied. Use a timer light and ask a friend or neighbour to move post away
from the front door and open and close your curtains.
• See if a neighbour can park their car on your driveway.
• Cut the front and back lawns before you go away.
• Cancel milk and newspaper deliveries. Ask a neighbour to bring your wheelie bin back to your
property after it has been emptied.
• Before your holiday, don’t advertise that you are going away on Facebook, Twitter etc.
• Leave important documents and valuable personal items with other family members or a bank.
• Double-check that you've locked all outside windows and doors.
• Set your burglar alarm if you have one.

Lastly, remember to report any suspicious activity to the Police when it is happening. Don’t leave it to
someone else to make the call – you might be the only one to witness it.
If you follow this advice, it will greatly reduce the chances of your property being broken into by an
opportunist criminal.
Top Roof Coating & First Choice Property Maintenance
Buckinghamshire Trading Standards is warning Buckinghamshire residents to be aware that the above
companies cold-calling at homes in the County recently. The companies have both attempted to deceive consumers into believing that they need urgent or unnecessary work carried out on their roofs
and failed to provide written cancellation rights, as required by law. Subsequent inspection of the
work has also found it to have been unnecessary and very over-priced. If residents are approached by
anybody purporting to be from either of these companies, or indeed any company making similar
claims, they are advised to decline any offers of work until they have had the opportunity to seek a
second opinion. Trading Standards would be grateful if any such approach is reported to them, or if
any resident has had work done by either company and has concerns, call on: 08454 04 05 06

NEWS AND EVENTS FROM WATER STRATFORD
WATER STRATFORD PARISH DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS
Monday June 4th 2012
I first put a note around the Parish in November last year asking for volunteers; there was
not a lot of enthusiasm! Eventually we formed our committee of four ladies. Ten years ago
we had a Committee of ten!
By the month of May we had achieved a great deal despite major battles over road closure,
lack of money and, everyone’s favourite, Health and Safety! A lot of households are not
internet enabled, so visiting every household personally was time consuming but often very
successful, if only fromthe “lovely to chat to people you don’t see every day” angle!
As a consequence of lots of meetings, the morning finally arrived, at least dry (that was a
novelty in itself), getting up at 4.30am was indicative of the concern I felt that our day
should go without ahitch.
I wonder how many of us realise, how incredibly lucky we are to live in a community that still
cares, that is still beautiful, that is still capable of that pulling-together spirit. Well we do,
and we appreciate it. The effort everyone put in on the morning was amazing: tents and
bunting going up; food arriving; coffee for all these workers; in all the neighbouring
households food preparation going on. That wonderful atmosphere continued right through
the day, smiling faces (a lot with beautiful hats – best dressed hat competition!), friendly
chat, super Pimms, truly amazing food, even sunshine and such a wonderful toast to our
Queen. Never to be forgotten the enthusiastically- entered games, raffles and competitions,
of course there was lots of rivalry and probably a little sabotage.
To complete this wonderful occasion we returned to the Old School, where we had a
fantastic celebration cake and fairy/butterfly cakes, decorated in all things British.
A most joyous event, and in years to come, when you come across the programme whilst
tidying a cupboard, you may think back and smile, remembering the sunshine the laughter and
the peoplethat made the day of the Water Stratford Diamond Jubilee so special.
Thank you Your Majesty for giving us the reason!
I am sure the many people who enjoyed these celebrations want to say a huge thank-you to
the committee of Susan Ford, Barbara Prideaux, Dawn Rogers and Teresa Smith, and to
games organizer Suzanne Burgin, for all their imagination, attention to detail and sheer hard
work which gave us such a happy, entertaining and memorable day.
GOLDEN WEDDING
Congratulations to Gerald and Judy Harris on their Golden Wedding anniversary, celebrated
with a wonderful surprise holiday in Madeira organised by their daughter, Tracey. Gerald
and Judy thank everyone for the many cards and good wishes they received, and we wish
them many more golden years.

The food was delicious
Provided by all
It really did go down a treat
We toasted The Queen
What a star she has been
To achieve this remarkable feat
Water Stratford
Diamond Jubilee Street Party
We had meetings galore
Notes all over the floor
Ideas going backwards and forth
We had so much to do
And think about too
But we sorted it out in due course
Now red tape abounds
Insurance was found
To cover this royal event
First aiders we need
Supervisors agreed
And we must write a risk assessment
The Queen was invited
And sent us a note
To say sorry she just couldn’t come
But have a good day
With the games that you play
It all sounds such jolly good fun.
The games were so merry
We did have a laugh
In the paddock so sunny and green
Pinned tails on the corgi
Ran along on three legs
And also played dress up the Queen
Then Jubilee Cake
What a wonderful sight
Three tiers and chocolate too
The hats were divine
The diamonds did shine
Bows, flowers and a touch of frou frou
We want to say thanks
For the help that you gave
It couldn’t have worked without you
It just goes to show
When we all have a go
There is nothing we really can’t do
We gave out jam jars
And pleaded for help
To pay for this special event
The programme was written
With zeal we were smitten
A great day our only intent
We bought bunting and banners
Party hats and some flags
In the colours of red, white and blue
We put up the tables
And set out the chairs
And prayed for some good weather too
We’ve kept all the letters
The lists and the notes
It’s all written down line by line
We’ll gladly hand over
The files and the folder
To those who arrange it next time.

Pond News
Hi there duck lovers, it’s time for this month’s bulletin of
events at the pond!
This month has been much quieter than last month, thank
goodness. No new ducklings having hatched as yet, but
there have been some reports of new nesting sites so we are
awaiting news as I write to you.
Firstly you may remember that last month I told you that a
duck had been disturbed while nesting in Main Street? Well
this was, I believe, Whiskey as she had returned to the pond
after an absence, but she has now disappeared again and a
report has been received that a duck matching her description is nesting in another garden in
Main Street. Thanks to the resident for reporting this and we hope to have news from Whiskey soon. Squeak. on the other hand, has now not been seen for quite some time, and her
partner, Big Boy seems to have taken up with Tabby. So I am afraid that we must fear the
worst for poor old Squeak, and just hope that she does turn up in the future.
Angel has also started nesting again following her first attempt last month when all her eggs
proved to be infertile. Better luck this time Angel! Also reported to be nesting again is our
old favourite Snowflake! She has already hatched one clutch of ducklings this year and has
started a nest at her favourite place since then, which she abandoned, but is now trying again
in Strangers Lane. Good luck Snowflake! Dot may also be nesting but this is just assumed by
her recent absence from the pond, not by any reports received, so if you have spotted a white
and black duck nesting in your garden please let Jenny know on 848026.
Apart from that all of our ladies appear to be at the pond most of the time, and as we are now
getting quite late into the breeding season the aforementioned ducks may be the last mums to
produce this year. Now all of the maternity units have been emptied ready for any new arrivals. On Jubilee weekend Della was returned to the pond along with Autumn, with their ducklings going to the ponds in Radclive where a lot of our babies go to start their new lives.
Now I must say Thank-you to Ann for her donation for duck food, a little belated due to a
minor identity mix up last month! But better late than never!
I must also appeal once again for anyone who is interested in taking over our care to contact
Jenny on the number previously mentioned, as she is hoping to retire from her duties very
soon following five years’ dedicated service to us. It is a very rewarding job, only requiring a
few minutes a day for most of the year, and a bit more time during the breeding season, so
please folks don’t leave us to fend for ourselves!
Well that’s about it for this time
Bye for now
Lady
