Dear Readers,
How lovely that summer is finally here! As I
write this the temperature is slowly creeping up into the late 20’s
and by the end of the week will be into the early 30’s. To some this
is not so pleasing so let’s watch out for those who are vulnerable
and help where we can…….and remember, keep hydrated!
In this double edition we are updated with fund raising
achievements from events over the last month, along with up
coming events over the summer break. Also there are a couple of
jobs being advertised within the parish so please look and
consider to see if you can help to fill the vacancies.
I wish you a fun filled and peaceful summer and will see you in
September.
Ruth
The deadline for the September edition is 15th August

HELP NEEDED
Guild of St. Peters Clock Winders have you got the time to help keep the time?
Many parishioners and villagers are grateful for the regular time keeping
provided by St Peters Church Clock. Few however will be aware that this is not an
automatic clock and that it relies on a small team of volunteers to wind it
manually, it takes just a few minutes. The current team are a couple of
volunteers short and one or two of the remainder would appreciate a younger pair
of legs to take over from them. Ideally we would like to have 12 in our team so
that each one has one month a year to wind the clock on a weekly basis.
If you would like to join the Guild of St Peters Clock Winders please
e-mail [email protected] or call him on 01737 812871.
from St Peter’s
The good news at last is that we are finally making progress in
several directions.
1.The PCC met with the Archdeacon and Rural Dean on Monday
June 22nd and had a long discussion on the Statement of Need for the Parish.
The final document is being revised as I write by Moya and Anne Oliphant to present to
the PCC at its Section 11 meeting on Monday 29th June. By the time you reach this the
final (fifth) version should have been agreed and sent to the Archdeacon. 29th June
happens to be St. Peter’s Day, so hopefully this will be a propitious date for our meeting.
2. At the Section 11 meeting we also have to decide whether we then advertise the
position across the country or let it just appear on the diocesan website. The
Archdeacon’s advice is not to spend at least £800 on a Church times advert, as other
Diocesan House for Duty vacancies have received no replies from other dioceses.
3. We then have to decide whether there will be a competitive interview, or to allow the
Archdeacon, on behalf of the Bishop to propose a candidate to us. The good news is that
the Archdeacon believes that he has candidate(s) who have already shown interest, who
would be acceptable and who could be proposed, thereby speeding up the process.
4. The PCC also has to agree its two members of the selection panel.
5. The necessary paperwork to make St.Peter’s part of a United Benefice with St.
Martin’s Epsom is also progressing. It has been made clear that the Rectory, although
technically held by the Guildford Diocesan Board of Finance for Diocesan purposes, shall
be used solely for ministry in the parish of Walton-on- the- Hill. It has been agreed with
the Archdeacon that the vicar of St. Martin’s, Nick Parish, as prospective incumbent of
the new benefice, will be one member of the interviewing panel, along with two
members of our parish and two representatives of the diocese. The interviews will be
allowed to take place before the final United Benefice papers are signed to speed up the
whole process of appointing a new priest.
6. The work on the roof of the church should start in early September and hopefully be
completed by the end of November. The contract is in the process of being drawn up and
I have a site meeting with the architect and builders on July 6th.
7. There are many things we can do to be getting the Rectory ready for a new priest. I
hope to arrange some work parties, available to all ages and sexes to finish clearing the
garden, cleaning the house and doing early stages of preparation for repainting so that
we can have everything done in time. We will have to decide whether to employ
someone to do the final internal repainting which comes as a cost to the parish.
I hope at last we are making progress and we can hope to have a new priest appointed
and in the Rectory for Advent or at least by Christmas.
God bless us all.

from Christchurch
Kathleen Balbernie, a family friend, was a cripple.
Always known as Kitty, a fall in child- hood when the
family lived in the Far East broke bones in her spine
from which she never really recovered. Unable to pursue a career,
she turned her hand to writing and from the 1920's onwards she
produced a number of romantic novels, many of which are still in
print today.
After her parents died, Kitty managed to live on the royalties from her
books, but her income was always uncertain and she really lived from
hand to mouth.
Kitty was a loyal member of her local church and when it was decided
to hold a flower festival she wanted to play her part. She knew she
couldn't afford a pot plant or even a bunch of flowers so at her local
florist she selected one special flower and went to the church with her
offering. "Is that all?" said the lady who was the receiver of gifts. At
that precise moment another helper appeared and exclaimed "That is
the very one I need to place at the centre of my display. It will have
pride of place".
Human nature doesn't change down the years. There are those who
criticise and those who encourage. Our Lord knew this only too well.
In John's Gospel we have the story of Mary who poured expensive
perfume over Jesus's feet and was criticised by one of the disciples for
wasting money that could have been spent on the poor. But Jesus
commended her for her action. And Luke tells the story of the poor
widow who could only afford a small contribution to the Temple
treasury. Jesus gave encouragement to those who appeared to give
only a little.
In life there are encouragers and others who criticise. Jesus was a
great encourager. He once said "Go then and do likewise"

Walton on the Hill WI
The Woman's Institute is celebrating it's 100th year and to mark the occasion the Queen held
a garden party at Buckingham Palace and a big meeting at The Albert Hall.
At our June meeting, Maggie Parkinson... as our representative, went to both events and told
us how her day went at each one. On the day of the garden party unfortunately it was
extremely windy and several hats were to be seen flying around the garden. The Queen was
accompanied by Sophie Wessex and Camilla and they chatted amongst the ladies before an
excellent tea was served.
The day at The Albert Hall was packed with many members and several speakers entertained
The Queen, who was accompanied on this occasion by Sophie again, and Princess Anne,
and of course, all the ladies who had travelled far and wide to be there. Maggie said she has
never heard JERUSAUM sung with such gusto at both events and added, it was a most
unforgettable couple of days (although very tiring)!
Our speaker this month was Eileen Ratcliffe, who was born with many disabilities which she
has bravely born for many years, but her life changed drastically 7 1/2 years ago when she
was given "ICKULUS" a golden Labrador, a Canine Assistance Dog. The scheme was
started 25 years ago with only 3 dogs... there are now 300! The selection process and
training takes 18/24 months. They have to be "controlled toilet" trained and know how to
behave in shops and public transport and handle loud noises etc. Ickulus helps Eileen with
all the household chores, stripping the bed, answering the phone and the front door, he
undresses her and fetches her inhaler, walking stick, handbag and anything else she
requires. He receives "treats" such as1/2 teaspoon of Manuka honey a day, and pieces of
raw broccoli and carrots which, apparently, help to clean his teeth!! He also must have a trip
to the park every day to exercise." Eileen and Nickulus have been together to meet the
Queen and Prince Harry.
I do believe Nickulus enjoyed our meeting every bit as much as we all did but he did not
partake in the tea which followed!!!!!

TWOAT-
Tadworth & Walton Overseas Aid Trust
The two TWOAT Sponsored Walks were a great success both financially and in having the
largest number of participating walkers. Around £2,000 was raised to help TWOAT projects.
(see full report below).
TWOAT has been getting news of the plight of their school project in Nepal where the school
building is now unsafe in parts and around half the homes of the villagers can no longer be
occupied. An appeal was launched and has had a magnificent response with the total
donations now exceeding £3,000. The money TWOAT has already sent has enabled the
village to buy tarpaulins/tents for those who have lost their homes and replacement food for
those who lost their stocks when their homes collapsed. TWOAT has had a number of email
reports from Sherpa Rudra who is their contact in the village and details from these are being
published on their web site WWW.TWOAT.ORG This site also describes how you can
contribute to the appeal. Estimates for the full re-building and repair costs for the school are
not available yet as no doubt the local resources for construction are having many calls on
them to deal with this huge natural catastrophe.
The next TWOAT event will be selling teas and cakes in Keith and Elizabeth Lewis’ garden at
41 Shelvers Way on July 19th 2 – 5.30pm when it is open as part of the National Garden
Scheme (admission £3.50). Please contact Mike Fox at TWOAT on (350452) if you can
provide cakes to sell or you can help on the day.
TWOAT is also pleased to announce that Sunday Sept 13th has been fixed as the date for this
year’s Spit Roast event in Walton. More details will be published on the web site nearer the
time.
Mike Fox
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The two sponsored walks this year on behalf of TWOAT are expected to produce the very
useful sum of about £1900. When Gift Aid is added, this could bring the total to well over
£2000! This was achieved by 43 walkers (including a couple who came on both walks having
enjoyed the first one so much ) and shows the generosity of the sponsors - so encouraging
in these harder financial times. We are extremely grateful to those who sponsored the
walkers and, of course, to the walkers, some of whom sponsored themselves.
The circular walks took place on 22nd and 30th May May and the weather on both days was
‘near perfect’. They started from Chipstead Public Car Park, at the side of the Chipstead
Rugby Club, and followed a route across the Downs to the “Battle of Britain” aerodrome at
Kenley. On the way there, the walkers visited the ancient Church of Chaldon with its 12 th
Century wall painting depicting Heaven and Hell and then went on to walk went through
“Happy Valley”, a delightful stretch of countryside. At Kenley aerodrome, details were given
of Kenley’s involvement in the “Battle of Britain” and its subsequent activities when it was
concerned with aerial strikes against targets in occupied France. Some of its famous pilots
were recalled. All this very appropriately as this year is the 75th anniversary of “The Battle”.
Jean Clew, our local historian, helped to make the walk particularly interesting with her
stories of times past in the areas walked through.
Most walkers did the whole distance but a few took the opportunity to do shorter stretches by
using the ‘lift service’ kindly provided by TWOAT volunteers back to the starting point from
three en-route stopping places. The first stopping place was “ Starbucks” on the A23 near
Hooley where a tasty cup of coffee/tea/chocolate was enjoyed. The next stop was at the
“Fox” near Caterham where a good lunch was provided by for those who chose not to bring
their own picnic and the last one was on Farthing Down where a TWOAT volunteer provided
some soft drinks for those who felt sufficiently thirsty.
Of course, the real beneficiaries of the walks are the many people we help through support of
projects in the poorer and poorest countries of the world. The children whose health and
education are improved, the adults who are striving to eke out a living in poverty we
sometimes can’t even begin to imagine, the elderly whose vulnerability is lessened. They
would say, “ thank you” even more heartily than we do!

Open Group
The Bingham's glorious garden was the perfect setting for a Midsummer 'Strawberry
Soirée'. The weather was kind, and warmer than preceding evenings, although the
temperature could have been a little higher, after dusk. Pauline Shaw's renowned 'light-as-afeather' scones with strawberry conserve and clotted cream, topped with sweet, English
strawberries, were consumed with enthusiasm, even by those 'counting the calories'! For the
more abstemious, bowls piled high with perfectly ripened strawberries, with or without a little
shortbread and pink 'fizz' were tempting. Plants were exchanged, horticultural knowledge
shared while certain 'bring and buy items' provided a talking point..... not that Open Group
meetings are lacking in chat or conversation! In summary, a pleasant June evening was had
by all and MANY THANKS are due to Maggie and Paul Bingham for their welcome and
hospitality.
We are very grateful, also, to Gwyneth and Simon Kastell, who kindly opened their gem of a
garden in Walton, during the 'Gardener's Delight' weekend, in June. Teas and cakes were
served in aid of this year's Open Group project, 'Hearing Dogs for Deaf People', raising a
brilliant £200. THANK YOU Gwyneth and Simon and all those who made cakes and / or
helped on the day.
Open Group will be taking a break in July. We are planning to hold the Annual Gourmet
Barbecue, in the second half of August, venue and date to be confirmed at time of going to
print. If you would like to join us, please contact Norma on 812639 or Mo, on 813834
or [email protected], for information and tickets. £15 per person. Please bring drinks
of your choice. Proceeds towards 'Hearing Dogs for Deaf People'.
Please note, monthly meetings will recommence on
TUESDAY 8th SEPTEMBER.
New members welcome.
************************************************************************************************
We had a very successful coffee morning on June 6th in our garden. The weather
was kind. Bright and warm. We had such good support (as usual) with lots of
friends coming to spend their money on refreshments, raffle and bring and buy. We
also had friends from The Guild for tea on the following Wednesday, again a lovely
day but a bit windy. With their donation we made a fantastic £525 to buy treats for
patients at The Oaks Centre, RM.
MANY thanks to everyone who was part of these events. Norma 812639.

Gatton Community Theatre’s Summer Production
Pippa's Progress: A Pilgrim’s Journey to Heaven
What if John Bunyan were to write Pilgrim’s Progress today?
Times have changed since John Bunyan wrote his classic Pilgrim’s Progress, telling of
Pilgrim’s journey up Hill Difficult and through the Slough of Despond to the Celestial City. Yet
people in their millions still seek meaning in their lives and speak of journeying towards a
goal. Everyone on earth seeks a heaven.
Adapted into a contemporary new play by Gatton Community Theatre’s
artistic director, Anna Thompson, from the book by Simon Parke, Pippa’s Progress will follow
the journey of Pippa, a 21st-century Pilgrim. This moving and modern-day story will follow
the original’s premise of a pilgrim’s journey to heaven, but this time through the trials and
temptations of our secularised, multi-cultural society. It is a riveting story of spiritual
journeying in the 21st century, full of modern monsters, comedy and grace - all brought to
life by Gatton Community Theatre in a promenade production around in the
beautiful parkland of Gatton Park, Reigate.
Performances will take place during July on: Weds 15th, Thurs 16th Fri 17th, Sun 19th
(sign language interpreted performance), Tues 21st, Weds 22nd, Thurs 23rd, Fri 24th and
Sat 25th, all at 7.30 pm.
Tickets are priced at Adults £12, children £8, family ticket £30, group discounts for
10+ tickets are available. Six buggy seats are available at each performance, but these
must be booked in advance.
For tickets go to www.gattoncommunitytheatre.org.uk/tickets or tel: 0333 666 3366.
Booking fees apply.
The ground may be uneven in places; appropriate footwear is advised. See website for

Gatton Community Theatre is a registered charity that exists to create large scale theatre
events by and for communities in East Surrey. It specialises in creating for audiences
unusual and innovative theatre events and the use of unusual or unexpected venues plays a
key part in Gatton Community Theatre productions. A strong moral or spiritual theme or the
promotion of a spirit of forgiveness and love remain key objectives and at the heart of the
company’s productions. Initially started as an initiative of the Parish of Merstham and
Gatton, though now an independent organisation, GCT continues to maintain strong links
with the Merstham and Gatton Team Ministry. Many participants continue to come from
churches all over the Reigate Deanery and beyond.

Magna Carta: Charter for our

Stuart Beake
Tuesday 21 July - 7:45pm
What are the celebrations of Magna
Carta intended to achieve? What good
will be in place or under way by the
end of 2015 that would not have been
without the anniversary’s celebration?
Historical retrospect, symbolism and
pageantry have real value. But we
want the reality to match the rhetoric.
We are bound to ask what more
should we, the heirs of Magna Carta,
be undertaking in our own time to do
