At the end of last term Minster School ran a 'Design A
Crown' competition as part of their Jubilee Celebrations.
The overall winner was Henry Colley, aged 6.
Here’s Henry being presented with his prize. He was
delighted to win an Attwells voucher and he had great
fun deciding what to spend it on!

EDITORIAL
Obviously some people read my column as we have been
approached by two residents offering their services to help us with the
magazine. Julie was going to have made a start this month by attending
the pre-print editorial meeting but this got cancelled, as I was unwell, so
Amy
we hope to see her next month, likewise Diane (yes another one) who
has also offered her help. Thank you ladies.
Mid September saw me and my Olympic Torch invited to the Kent
Community of the Year Awards, where I was asked to be MC for the
Brenda
evening. Everyone got to take a hold of the torch whilst I was reading my
script. The evening was a big success with West Malling eventually
being ‘crowned’ KCOY 2012. Lots of other awards but worthy of a
special mention was the one made to Blean. They were chosen by the
Romanian group who helped with the judging this year, for their
Diane
disability centre, which so impressed our European visitors. Apart from
the usual certificate and cheque they also received a Romanian flag
which they intend to fly from their village hall.
I gave up my chance to go to Romania this year because I was
Nora
selected to carry the torch, but I’ve been told I can hopefully fulfil this
ambition early in 2013, so on the back of that I’m looking for school uniform to
take with me. They are always in need of white shirts, white blouses, black trousers,
grey skirts, and black school shoes, so if you can help me with any of these I would
be most grateful, the more the better. Please either contact me and I’ll come and
collect, or drop them off at the library for me. Thank you in anticipation.
Now here’s something to cheer about. One of our local advertisers, Dan Searle
(SDS Roofing page 23), recently won his way through to the ‘National Skills Build
Competition’ in Preston, Lancs (for his plaster work in the regional heats), where he
competed over 3 days to become runner-up. WELL DONE DAN, now we know
where to come when we need some quality plastering!! (Do I get a discount?)
Finally thank
you
to
Julie
Martin and her
Rainbows, who
invited me along
to show them the
Olympic torch, I
really enjoyed my
visit.

LINDEN VILLA
I wonder if anyone can help me.
I am working on my family tree, and
looking to find an address in Minster,
Thanet.
Richard Claude Rowlinson died in
1909 in Cape Town, South Africa, but
he was listed as living in Linden Villa,
Minster, Thanet.
Does anyone know where Linden
Villa, is in Minster?
If you do it might help me find his
mother’s family history.
Thanks for your help.

October 2012
Kent Trading Standards have received reports of unsolicited telephone calls offering a plug
in energy saving device (pictured) that can reduce electricity bills. KTS believe these claims
are false and the product poses a fire and electrocution risk. The initial sale of this product is
thought to trigger further telephone calls selling similar products. The Fraud may develop
further when a product becomes faulty and is sent back for a refund. The criminals use this
opportunity to encourage payments through Money Gram and Western Union. These
payments, to various individuals abroad, are apparently to facilitate the refund and are for
payment of VAT and transfer charges for example. This is nothing more than a way of stealing
your money. The callers will use various tactics to try and build up a relationship with the
victim and in extreme cases may convince them to part with thousands of pounds.
If you have responded to one of these calls please discontinue use of the product and report
the matter to Kent Trading Standards via Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 08454 04 05
06. In these circumstances it is also worth contacting your bank if you have provided the caller
your debit or credit card details.

ONE YEAR ON AND LIFE’S A PEACH
Greens of Minster would like to say thank you to all our customers for your great
support during our first year and can hardly believe we opened our doors for the first time
on 8th October 2011. We have been thrilled by the well wishes and many compliments we
have received over the past year and hope that we can continue to move forward in the
offerings and service we bring to you and the village.
As a big thank you and to help us celebrate our first whole year of trading, all
our customers shopping with us during our anniversary week (8-13 October) will be
entered into our grand raffle for the chance to win a bumper hamper made up from
our great range of products in store (sweets, fruit juice, flowers, fruit, veg, preserves,
chocolates, etc) to the value of £50. (Winner to be announced and advertised in store
week commencing 15 October.) We look forward to welcoming our regular
customers as well as seeing a few new faces too.
The first year (always notorious for being the hardest) has been a massive learning
curve whilst we have got to know the differing seasons and the changes they bring, what
has worked, has needed more work or has been slow to move. We will continue to
approach our neighbouring farms directly (this year alone we have been able to offer 38
different quality local lines) and hope to build from our current 7 farm suppliers to 14
during the course of 2013. We have also been very grateful of all the feedback and heaps
of invaluable advice you have offered us.
Although we haven’t been able to introduce all the things we set out to in our first year
and still have more to learn, on our horizons we are looking to stock flower and vegetable
seeds together with gardening consumables for all those self-growers in the village, build
upon our quality fruit and veg box scheme and look into introducing an over the phone
payment and in store card service to allow our customers the convenience to pre-order
flowers, fruit and veg boxes and bulk pet foods. We will also look to develop our existing
website to allow online ordering with free local delivery.
In order for us to get out and about, keep up with demand and offer even more at great
local prices, we have recently introduced a new part-time member of staff (Darragh), who
is just as jolly as the normal chap so should fit in well. Please join us in giving him a big
warm Minster welcome when you see him.
Once again thank you for giving us a lovely first year and for being so supportive and
welcoming. Here’s looking forward to another exciting and challenging year.
Many thanks.
Caelan and Toni
CALLING ALL CAT LOVERS!

Safeguard your nearest and dearest
from the risk of fire
Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is
appealing to residents to make sure their homes,
and those of people close to them, are safeguarded.
Neighbours, friends and loved-ones may need your help to protect
themselves from the outbreak of fire. Perhaps you have an elderly parent, or
know someone who lives alone, or with young children, who could benefit
from safety advice. Maybe your own children are now grown-up, starting a
family of their own and need some tips on fire prevention.
KFRS Community Safety Manager Stuart Skilton said: “We can offer
people practical help to reduce the risk of fire. Maybe they need a smoke
alarm fitted, advice on escape routes and what to do if a fire starts in their
home. Or perhaps they need some more extra guidance to keep safe. Where
needed, we offer free home fire safety visits. In addition, our dedicated team
can provide a range of specialist equipment, such as fireproof bedding and
smoke alarms for the hard of hearing, to help protect more vulnerable
residents.”
He added: “Just three breaths of toxic smoke from a fire can be lifethreatening, but we offer free safety advice and services to help minimise the
risk of being harmed. By encouraging those you care about to get in touch,
you will be playing a huge part in preventing a fire and may even save a life.”
Tips on staying safe from fire:
· Make sure you fit, and regularly test, a smoke alarm. It is the
single most important piece of safety equipment in any home.
· If you plan on using an open fire, make sure your chimney has been
recently swept as build-ups of soot and ash can cause chimney fires.
· When going to bed, make absolutely certain that any open fire is either
out, or pushed back into the grate and a guard used to prevent sparks setting
light to carpets or furniture.
· Interior doors should always be closed when going to bed as they can
dramatically reduce the spread of fire.
· Portable heaters should be dust­free and kept well away from anything
that could catch fire.
· Candles should always be placed on a non flammable surface, be away
from soft furnishing like curtains and never be left unattended. It is far safer
to consider using torches instead of candles.
· Before using an electric blanket, make sure it is under 10 years old,
check it is working order and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
For further information or to learn more about the free advice and services
on offer to residents contact KFRS on 0800 923 7000 or visit

MINSTER PARISH COUNCIL RESPONSE TO MONKTON RD RESURFACING
Following a letter in the September issue of Minster Matters, Minster Parish Council would like
to clarify that Kent Highways undertook the re-surfacing to Monkton Road as part of its
scheduled works throughout the County and the Parish Council has no involvement with the
re-surfacing only that they had been notified that it would take place. The Parish Council do
agree that the road chippings are a problem along the same vein as gravel from drives however
it is a necessary evil as part of the ongoing maintenance of our roads. We have asked Kent
Highways to carry out some more road sweeping in an attempt to clear some more of the loose
chippings. And our resident roadsweeper continues to sweep up gravel and loose chippings on
his rounds however we would still remind residents to keep your gravel drives maintained and
swept back from the path.

THANK YOU - from Gwen Heath who unfortunately had a fall outside the
Vets on Friday 7th September. Thank you to the mystery man who helped her
and thank you to Karen from the vets also the nurses at the doctor’s surgery.
CHRISTMAS WILL SOON BE HERE!
Would you be prepared to make a Christmas Shoebox?
The Shoeboxes will be distributed to children living in poverty in Africa, Asia and Europe by
Smile International in December (Charity Number 1079730). Some of the children are orphans,
others live in refugee camps, but all of them live in deprivation. For the majority of children, the
Christmas Shoebox will be their only Christmas present, and it will be much appreciated and will
generate lots of excitement!
Smile International is a charity passionate about helping to relieve suffering and poverty through
the distribution of humanitarian aid; the Christmas Shoeboxes are one of their projects. For more
information, please see www.smileinternational.org
You can make a shoebox on your own or share one with a friend or small group. Cover the
shoebox (and lid separately) in wrapping paper, so the shoebox can be opened and checked. The
contents should be gender and age specific, for example for a ten year old boy.
Karen and Jenny at Attwells newsagents have once again kindly volunteered to act as a collection
point for shoeboxes or donation of contents. Alternatively, you can deliver them to Mary Lord at
33 Tothill Street (leave in the front porch) or to me at 101 Tothill Street, by 30th November please.
Contents can include:
· a bar of soap and a flannel
· tooth brush and tooth paste
· hair brush, comb, hair slides
· small toys, such as a doll, car, skipping rope, ball, bag of marbles, snap or other playing
card games, stationery, writing and colouring materials – (Attwells stock many of the toys, along
with stationery packs specially-made by Karen and Jenny).
For further information about the Christmas shoeboxes, leaflets are available at Attwells or
phone me on 823319.
In grateful anticipation, Kate Humphreys
REMEMBER - CLOSING DATE IS 30th NOVEMBER - THANK YOU
MINSTER KNIT AND TALK GROUP
The knitting group are making warm garments, gloves, scarves, hats
etc., to form a Christmas tree that will be displayed in the library
window.
This will then be given to the Salvation Army for distribution to
the homeless and needy.
Should anyone in the village wish to knit any of these items to help
fill the tree then they can be left at the library.
Donations of yarn or contributions towards its cost can also be left
with the librarians.
If you would like more information or maybe you’ve a wish to join the group, we get
together on a Friday morning from 10 ‘til 12 in the meeting room above the library, just
pop along and see us, it is very friendly and informal.

Computer Corner (by Itsma Hobby)
SCAMMERS - AGAIN
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER send money to someone you
don't know via WESTERN UNION or MONEY GRAM- it's
as good as paying them cash - there is no comeback - YOU
WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY - BE WARNED.
If you've been caught and have paid for a service this way
- DO NOT we repeat DO NOT then fall for the overpayment
scam whereby those you've paid ring again and tell you that
you've paid too much and you now need to make a second
payment to recover what's owed - you will lose that payment
as well !!!!
Don't try to get a refund from a scammer they will
NEVER repay you, if you've paid via a credit or debit card
report it immediately to your card supplier, DO NOT give
your card details to anyone who has phoned you !!!
Sadly, any money lost is unlikely ever to be recovered and
must be written off to experience, just don’t get caught again
!!!
We cannot stress enough that the any phone call you
receive telling you there is a problem with your computer IS
A SCAM, and it isn't Microsoft or their engineers phoning
you, THEY DON'T DO THAT.
Please, DON'T get into conversation with them about
anything, just put the phone down.
Don't ever allow someone you don't know to access your
computer remotely, don't download anything that they may
tell you that you need, this will only give them access to your
computer. If sadly you have fallen foul of one of these scams
you really will need the help of someone you can trust to rid
your computer of the software they've used and to ensure you
aren't open to further 'backdoor' intrusions by them.
From my own experience of helping people with such
problems I can tell you that one of their most used methods of
accessing your computer is to install a very well respected
program called Teamviewer. This is a legitimate program and
is used widely by many individuals and companies across the
globe, I even use it myself to help friends and family remotely,
however it is also used by scammers to access your machine
and ultimately to relieve you of your money.
As an actual example - once you've allowed them to 'fix'
your problems, that's not the end of it, they then have access
to your computer all the while you are connected to the
internet, I know as I was recently asked to check out a friends
computer who unfortunately had been taken in by them and
had paid them a lot of money.
My friend found they couldn't access their computer
because it was asking for a password that they didn't know. I
suspect the scammers were waiting for my friend to try
accessing the computer and then they’d ring again and offer to
sort the problem for yet another payment, and so it goes on
and on, getting ever more expensive!!
However, I got round that problem reasonably easily and
then found that Teamviewer had been loaded since the last
time I'd looked at this particular machine. I immediately took
steps to uninstall it and within less than 2 minutes of doing so
my friend had 2 telephone calls to say there were problems on
this computer and that we should allow them immediate
access to fix it. What I said is unprintable, but I'm sure you'll
have a good guess as to the words I might have uttered. Now
October 2012
I don't think it was just coincidence that they rang at that time,
I believe they were monitoring the computer and knew
instantly that their line of communication had been cut.
Because of this we decided it would be best therefore if I
scanned and backed up all the personal files and then wiped
the whole computer and reloaded it again as though it were
new, to ensure we had rid it of everything that may have been
installed or altered by the scammers. Not a quick job, but at
least my friend knows it is now safe to use again, and I hope
they've learned not to be taken in a second time.
Note from Editor: Do you think this might be something that
has happened to you? If you don’t have a friend or relative
on hand to help you out, I am quite willing to come and see if
I can help, or at least give you some advice, just contact me
via my details on page 2.
AND AGAIN
It has also been brought to our notice that others in the
village have fallen foul to another scam that is rife, at this
time, and that is ‘bogus calls purporting to come from
the Ministry of Justice’. It was reported to us that the
people making these calls are very persuasive and do
make you feel as though you are being pressurised into
something you wouldn’t normally be involved with.
Here’s a snippet we’ve copied from the Ministry of
Justice’s website:
Fraudsters are using the name of the Ministry of Justice
and other organisations to trick members of the public
into parting with large sums of money.
The Ministry of Justice is warning the public to be alert after a
recent increase in scams where consumers are being telephoned
or emailed by people falsely claiming to be from the Ministry of
Justice and other organisations.
This scam usually involves fraudsters contacting a consumer and
saying they are calling from the Ministry of Justice, the HM
Courts, the Tribunal Service or another high profile
organisation. They tell the victim they could be owed money –
usually like a repayment of a bank charge, payment protection
insurance, or a court settlement. They then ask for an upfront
payment from the consumer so that they can send the money
owed to them.
These callers are con-men and have no connection with the
Ministry of Justice or any of the other organisations they name –
like HM Courts or the Tribunals Service.
So please don’t get involved in conversations from
unsolicited phone calls, be polite and say “no thank you
we have no need of your services” and then put the phone
down. Don’t engage in any further conversation as they
will pressurise you into believing they can help and all
that will happen is they will ultimately relieve you of a
goodly amount of your savings!
Just remember, if you’ve been pressured into giving out
your bank or card details, then don’t delay, as soon as
you’ve finished the call immediately ring your bank or
card company and ask to speak to their fraud office, the
sooner you do so the more likely you are to retain your
hard earned money.

EMAIL SPAM AND HOAXES
Check out hoaxes and scams at any of the websites below,
especially those 'DON'T DELETE' or 'YOU MUST PASS
THIS ON' type emails.
www.hoax-slayer.com who also offer a monthly newsletter
www.snopes.com and/or www.millersmiles.co.uk
We still get them and apart from being extremely annoying
they have usually been forwarded over and over again with
an ever increasing list of other peoples email addresses.
PLEASE if you are forwarding an email for whatever
reason, don’t send it with all the previous respondents email
addresses still visible, remove them first.
These sorts of lists encourage spam !!
If you're sending an email to any number of people the best
way of ensuring you aren't sending a long list of email
addresses to them all is to actually send the email to
yourself, or the most important person in the list, and put
everyone else in the BCC box (Blind Carbon Copy) not the
CC (Carbon Copy) box. If you don't have a BCC box
showing then it hasn't been 'turned on' but it should be quite
easy to do and should only need doing once.
· In Windows Mail or Outlook Express just go to the
'View' menu and select 'All Headers' to turn on the
BCC option.
· In Outlook, open a new email go to 'Options' menu
select BCC or depending on which version you’re
using select 'Options' then 'Fields or Show Fields'
then BCC.
· In Thunderbird just open a new email and click in
the 'To' field then select BCC.
· Using Incredimail? Then open a new email, click
the 'View' menu and select BCC.
If you're using an email client other than those listed above
then do a quick Google search to find how to turn on your
BCC option. Most web based email services, such as
Hotmail or Yahoo Mail, will normally have the BCC option
available, if not then look for it in ‘settings’.
A PIECE OF WORK WRITTEN IN THE SKIES
In flight aboard Air New Zealand jet to Singapore on

Sun’s bright glare shines in through the window, a blanket of cloud, duvet style
Now hides the land below for miles and miles
10 hours, 20 minutes we’ve been in the air
Well, well, well, we are almost there
Ahead now a mattress is tinged with gold
I’m sure angels sleep on these pillows, as over their
wings, the blankets fold
Been a wonderful flight, everything just right
One usually sees clouds from earth, floating in skies of
sometimes blue
Here in the Heavens we see clouds from a different view
A feeling of what, perhaps Heaven is like
I see soft fluffy cuddly comforters, of purest white

Recipe courtesy of Jo at Slimming World
Pastitsio
This is a sort of Greek lasagne, but without all the layering so
it’s less fussy to prepare! This is a real autumn warmer that
is easy to prepare and all the family enjoy! Plus my version
does not involve labouring over a white sauce!
Serves 6
For those of you Food Optimising at Slimming World, just 2
syns per portion
500g Extra lean mince beef
350g Macaroni
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Carrot, Finely Chopped
1 Red pepper, chopped into small pieces
1 Clove of garlic, crushed
1 Heaped tbs Tomato Puree
2 x 400g can Chopped Tomatoes
400ml freshly boiled water
1 x Beef stock cube
1 x tsp ground cinnamon
2 x tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper
Fry Light
350g fat free plain Greek yogurt
2 Eggs
½ tsp nutmeg
50g Parmesan cheese, grated
1. Spray a large wide pan with fry light and add the
carrot, onion and pepper on a medium to high heat,
keep stirring to prevent it sticking, for about 8 minutes.
Add the minced beef, breaking it up as you stir it in.
Once the beef has browned, add garlic, cinnamon and
tomato paste and keep it all moving for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add canned tomatoes, water and stock cube and
mix well. Bring to the boil and then turn down to a
simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add
the oregano. Leave it to thicken on the hob for about
35-45mins. Stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, cook the macaroni according to packed
instructions to al dente (it will cook further in the oven
so slightly under cooked is better than over cooked!).
4. Whisk your eggs and beat into the yogurt. Season
lightly and add nutmeg.
When ready, mix the drained macaroni into your meat mixture
until combined well and all the pasta is covered in sauce, then
pour into a large/deep baking dish. Spoon over the egg and
yogurt mix and spread it evenly over the top then sprinkle on
the parmesan. Bake in a pre-heated oven (175°c) for 4560mins, until golden on top. Serve with salad.

MINSTER IN THANET WI
Marion Rose, the President, welcomed members and guests to September’s meeting on the
11th at 7.30. After Jerusalem she congratulated and thanked all who took part in the Minster
Flower Show. The Synchronized Swimming float took 3rd prize and the Co-operative Event
also came 3rd - 2 bronze medals for Minster WI Team GB! The home baking stall raised
£159.20. Congratulations to our Top Team Quiz who did very well in July, only just losing to
Broadstairs & St Peters WI.
Marion Bullard introduced the evening’s speakers and thanked them for stepping in to
replace the booked speaker at short notice. Dean Martin and Paul Palmer then gave the meeting
a very interesting description of their work with Thanet LeisureForce and all it has to offer.
Matters Arising:
Among many items, Marion announced that the Dabble Day has been fixed for 3rd
November, the Birthday Dinner, in February 2013 could be held at a different venue and,
starting on the 25th September, she is offering a 6 week craft course at her house. Discussion
followed about various forthcoming events including the “alternative trip” to the Buckingham
Palace event. With regard to the Christmas Party on the 11th December, Marion queried
whether entertainment was on the programme and was assured, by members of the Committee
that it was! Marion also pointed out that the Institute’s Annual Meeting is on 13th November
when Committee members and officials will be elected. She also pointed out that there has
been a change to the length of time officials etc can serve.
The Minutes of July’s meeting were approved and signed, then the raffle and a highly
amusing poem brought the Meeting to a close.
Saturday 15th September saw a coach load of members and guests transported to London
for a tour of Buckingham Palace and the Queen’s diamonds. Thanks to Liz for organising
such an enjoyable and informative trip.
October’s monthly meeting is on the 9th with Eileen Booker’s talk
on “Crafts for Christmas” all welcome.
October's Coffee and Chat is 10 am to 12 noon on the 18th and the Games Evening
is 7.30 to 10 pm on the 24th both in Village Hall Committee Room.
THE 8th ANNUAL BIKE RIDE IN MEMORY OF JAKE PHILPOTT
Sunday 26th August 2012
This was the 8th time we have asked family and friends to join us on the 22 mile (25 mile!
still being debated) bike ride in memory of Jake.
From Minster, through Birchington, Reculver, Marshside to Grove Ferry, Preston, Plucks
Gutter and Monkton then back to Minster, visiting many watering holes along the way, this was
very important as we are always hearing "you should get plenty of fluids" so we did.
As usual we were not let down with nearly 40 people joining us at the Royal British Legion
Club at 11am on Sunday morning.
As we set off I think a few people said a prayer for good weather, as we have had all kinds
in the past ,wind, rain and even hail, it worked because the grey clouds disappeared and the
weather was glorious all day, even the sea wall from Minnis Bay to Reculver was bearable.
This year we had our first tandem riders and they made it round safely and were by no
means slow (as we had all expected... well done).
Once again we want to thank all those who took part and made it such a wonderful day, and
a lovely way for us to remember Jake, as a family, with all our friends too.
Thanks must go to (Mum) Cynthia, Doreen and Sue for preparing curry and lasagne, which
awaited us on our return to the Legion, and (Dad) Malc and Min as first aid and taxi if needed
on route (fortunately not needed for either).
Hope to see you all again next year (and any new faces who would like to join us) on a great
day out.
** Make memories that live on forever, then forever we live on**

October 2012
www.beeguardianfoundation.org
(Taken from the BGF website) The Bee Guardian Foundation is a
unique educational conservation organisation that connects
knowledge to actions. By raising awareness about the importance of
the 20,000+ different bee species worldwide (and over 250+ that
exist in the UK), the Bee Guardian Foundation enables and empowers
individuals, communities and organisations, to become "Bee Guardians", a new figure in conservation, created by
the Bee Guardian Foundation. Ends…
Could Minster become a Bee Guardian Community?
Gloucester is the first ‘Bee Guardian City in the UK’ and there are residents amongst us who would like to see
Minster become the first ‘Bee Guardian Village in the UK’. What does this mean – well as we see it, it is basically
the creation and future management of habitats and feeding areas for all varieties of bees, butterflies and other such
insects.
Prospective sites for planting ‘flowering’ trees, sowing both ‘native wild flower’ and ‘urban pictorial’ seed mixes
have already been looked at in the village, with plot sizes varying from a few square feet to ½ acre and beyond, but
this would obviously be a long term project as costs and budget constraints might determine what could be achieved
year upon year, although it is believed there are other funding streams that could be tapped into.
Jessie Jowers CEO of the BGF visited Minster on Monday 17th September and went away very impressed with
what we had to offer. The Parish Council are due to discuss this at their October meeting, so we cannot expand too
much on what is or isn’t likely to happen until they have debated it and we know what if any support they may offer.
Various local landowners have already been approached with a view to giving over unkempt areas to the project
and as we go to press the feedback is very positive. Not least, a huge brown-field site behind the Holiday Inn has been
offered with a view of improving its visual aspect, and it is felt that this area could be managed without too much
financial input, which seems promising, and may be a good starting point.
The success of such a project across the village could require more man management than the Parish Council
would be able to offer, so it may be that local volunteers, individuals and/or groups would be approached to see if
they were willing to become involved. We here at Minster Matters would like to start the ball rolling in this area and
ask that if you as an individual, or a group you run or are a member of, might be interested in getting involved, then
please let us know.
On top of the above, MM have just learned the following:
‘The Conservation Volunteers (Reclaiming Green Spaces Since 1959)’
www.tcv.org.uk
Following a recent visit to Minster, Sophie Walkden of TCV has confirmed their willingness to supply
(for free) ‘trees for bees’ to be planted, at a variety of the sites she was shown, across the village. These
would obviously be native varieties suitable for the local soil conditions and of a benefit to the bees.
Minster Brothers Earn Chief Scout Silver Award
Minster brothers were awarded the Chief Scout Silver Award by the Assistant District Commissioner Cubs
Rikki watched by Akela Wolves 1st Garlinge Cub Pack. They have gained and worked towards a variety of
badges to earn the top award given to Cub Scouts. They have camped on Brownsea Island, slept overnight
on HMS Cavalier, been to Gilwell Fundays. They have gained many badges including Athletes,
Bookreader, First Aid, IT, Swimmers. The brothers have now moved on to Scouts where they are hoping to
continue their adventure and learn new skills. (Picture on front cover)

Never in the history of the

Competition has one club

competition. Well done to those shown in the photo, apologies to last
years winners, for not including a photo last year.
We might be a village club with no Kent County Badged players,
but this years successes go before us.
In the East Kent Mixed League we hope our nearest rivals don’t
get the 4 points they need to win this league. With their last game they
could knock us off the top position.
Our Ladies require only two points and they will win their League.
As you read this we are starting the Winter indoor bowling
season. New members are very welcome, this is a club where you can
play every day of the week, and each evening if competitions or
league games are not in progress.
Mum’s and Dad’s, why not encourage your teenagers to come
straight after school, before tea or homework during the dark Winter
period? Everything is here ready for them.
‘Frank Sinatra’ and ‘Dean Martin’ entertained 100 guests one
August evening with their songs and music. More evening

PUPPY SELLERS SCAM
Kent Trading Standards has been receiving reports of scam
puppy sellers. One consumer saw an advert for Bulldog puppies
on a classified advertising website. The seller asked the
consumer to send £625 via Western Union. A few days later
the consumer received another call from someone saying they
were a pet courier service and asked for £1,500 for insurance.
Kent Trading Standards advises that most sellers are genuine
but there are some who use unscrupulous trading tactics to part
people with their hard earned cash. A few simple rules to
remember which can help protect you from being conned;
● Always ask questions of the seller, how they sell
items and what their procedures are for payment and
delivery.
● Always ask for the sellers name and address, if they
are genuine they will not mind giving this
information.
● Never agree to pay money by Western Union or
Money Gram, money transferred in this way is
untraceable.
● Always ask family and friends for their opinions
before you buy.
● A simple internet search on the trader or trading
practices can often identify any potential pitfalls or
offer tips on how to trade safely.
To report any concerns you have or for details of Buy With
Confidence traders call Trading Standards via Citizen Advice
Consumer Service on 08454 040506. You can also visit
www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk for a list of traders.
Put jabs on the student checklist
It’s a busy time for students preparing to leave home for the
start of the academic year, but NHS Kent and Medway is urging
them to check that their childhood vaccinations were completed
as outbreaks of mumps and measles frequently occur at
universities and colleges.
MMR is a vaccination given in two doses, usually before the
age of five. If students had only one dose – or missed out
altogether – they will not be protected against measles, mumps
and rubella.
Although statistics in Kent and Medway show no recent
increase, elsewhere in the country there was a marked increase
in the number of laboratory confirmed cases of measles and
mumps between April and June.
Nationally, there were 930 laboratory confirmed cases of
mumps, compared to 468 between January and March. Most
were in young adults born between 1980 and 1994, a period
when some children did not receive a second dose of MMR.
There were also 667 confirmed cases of measles during this
quarter, compared to 295 in the previous quarter, with 81 per
cent of the cases in children and adolescents.
Dr Faiza Khan, Consultant in Public Health Medicine for NHS
Kent and Medway said: “Measles and mumps are serious
illnesses that can spread rapidly in colleges and universities
and can be very unpleasant. Occasionally, patients develop
complications including pneumonia and deafness.
“The best protection is two doses of the MMR vaccine so we
would urge young people – or their parents – to check that they
have had all their vaccinations and if not, to make an
October 2012
appointment at their GP practice to complete them. If they do
not have time to visit their GP before they leave home, they
should still contact their surgery to find out if their vaccinations
are up-to-date. If they need the MMR vaccine, they should
arrange this when they register with a doctor at their university
or college”.
For further information, contact NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 or
visit www.nhs.uk
MEASLES: Starts like a bad cough and develops into a fever
and rash. Rarely, complications include inflammation of the
brain, fits and pneumonia.
MUMPS: Glands around the face, neck or jaw swell up.
Occasionally, complications can include swelling of testes,
brain inflammation and deafness.
WE WERE THERE!
Like many others we were disappointed at not obtaining
tickets for the Olympics. One of our daughters suggested the
Paralympics. Why not? - Children £5.00 OAP’s cheap - we
applied and received tickets for Athletics August 31st
Having seen some of the games on the 30th I began to look
forward to the Athletics. Arriving at Stratford two policemen
with huge smiles shook hands with Olivia 7 and James 5,
congratulating them on their gold medals (won at a school
event), they were delighted.
Entering the Olympic Park the excitement could be felt.
Crowds of people going to different venues. Approaching the
stadium we could hear the cheering, (we were late), 60 thousand
people make a lot of noise! We were taken to our seats, what a
view.
The Long Jump in progress, early rounds of the Shot taking
place, athletes getting ready for the 200 metres. The atmosphere
electric when GBR came up on the board. The athletes were
ready, the gun went off and the cheers began. Flags flying in
abundance were being waved - children standing and shouting
for R. JONES GBR. (Adults don’t admit they were just as loud!).
The noise unbelievable, we were enjoying every minute.
Later the Club Throw took place, children were happy to
watch the remote controlled car move across the grass to an
official. They placed the club in the car and returned it to the
correct area. What a brilliant idea!!
While waiting for a medal ceremony a “Stand Up” Mexican
Wave started around the stadium, which I will never forget, “Oh
Cool” said the lad behind me.
Hannah Cockcroft completed the 100 metres qualifying
with a Paralympic record, how everyone cheered. “We’ve Won”
shouted Olivia, jumping up and down in her seat. We were not
watching people with disabilities, we were seeing athletes
determined to qualify for the next round.
Our session had ended, the vast number of people staying to
take photo’s of the arena and the fantastic Olympic Flame. We
joined thousands of others and wandered around the park, seeing
the buildings and flowers so familiar on T.V.
The volunteers were superb - always ready to help. Recycle
bins were all around the park and to many people’s amazement
not one piece of litter was seen on the ground. The bins were
well used!
Lord Coe and his team “Got it right”. It was fantastic and a
day to remember. We, like all those who attended can say those
five words “We were there in 2012”.
What an experience.

Tour the Three Tower Trails at Quex Park
Over 250 members of the public visited the Powell-Cotton Museum as part of the Heritage Open
Day. Guided tours of the Round Tower were fully booked on both days with visitors enthusing
over the interesting stories and anecdotes surrounding this and the other iconic towers at Quex
Park.
The Round built was built on a mound of earth beneath which, the story goes, was buried the wife
of an ancient British warrior.
Known locally as the White Lady, the ghost of Quex is said to be seen walking amongst the trees
alongside the roadway. Built in 1814 by John Powell Powell, a keen yachtsman, the Round
Tower once had a flagpole and mast for signalling ships.
Following the success and obvious interest in the Quex Park Towers the Powell-Cotton Museum
is launching the inaugural Three Tower Tour on Saturday 17th November from 10.15am – 12.30pm.
The Tour will consist of a 40 minute talk about the Waterloo Tower, Round Tower and Clock
Tower within Quex Park followed by a guided stroll around the Park to visit each of the structures.
Tim Baker, the structural engineer who worked on restoring all three towers on Quex Park has a
wealth of information surrounding the restoration of each whilst the Quex Park Archivist, Hazel Basford will talk about the
personal stories surrounding the family who built and enjoyed the towers and about how we use the structures today.
Pre-booking essential (limited spaces) £ 10.00 per adult £ 8.50 concessions and children.

PLEASE if you have such a notice on your letterbox, or you are considering
putting one on, but you still want us to deliver this magazine to you, then make sure
the notice says that it doesn’t include Minster Matters, that way our volunteers will
know whether or not to pop one through your door.

Crikey, he was touchy this weekend
when he had to do the magazine
without Amy’s help. Loads of paper
everywhere, a hotline to Diane
trying to palm off pages for her to do.
I even got fed up of asking to go out
he just wasn’t taking any notice,
Come back Amy all is forgiven !!

How to look after kittens
When you first get kittens you should put them in a quiet
and nice environment so they can play alone and be safe.
Next you get a cats litter tray (or a tray) and give them
enough food and water to last a day and night. Do not
worry if he or she does not eat it’s just because they are
scared.

YR6
In year 6 it is really fun because:
You can become a head of house
You can become a prefect.
You get to go to Hindleap
You can go to Dover castle
You WILL be the oldest year in the school
You get to have a reading buddy from YR1
You learn about world war WWII
When you go into year 6 make the most of
primary school soon you will be leaving and you
WILL miss all.

Changes in Minster!!!
Minster has changed over the years.
Not long ago there was no kebab shop now there is one.
They have also got 2 hotels up at the top of the village.
The latest thing that not all people like is McDonald’s, I do
We have 2 Chinese’s, we have a fish and chip shop, we
have a school, we have a shop called Londis some people
call it Ben’s.
I think that the changes in Minster are great.
By Ebony O’Reilly
BFF
Do you know what BFF’s are?
BFF’s are for playing with and to be there for you!
You also should treat each other the same.
The most important thing is having fun and caring for each other!
BFF stands for best friends forever

Paralympics
Hello my name is Cassie I’m going to write about the
Paralympics.
First I’m going to tell you about swimming.
Did you see Ellie Simmonds, she was amazing, she got
like 10 gold and loads of silver and bronze. I’m proud to
say we are British. She must of trained of trained really
hard and have had tons of pain.
My granddad says no pain no gain.
Next is running, I remember it when the man ran with no
legs he was last, then came first. I think he broke the world
record.
