EDITORIAL
As I am writing this it has not rained for several days – is this s record for Surrey. At last I got to
Staines which at some point was cut off but for the exit from the M25 – so those happy little ducks on
the front cover together with the lovely cheery spring flowers are really a bright change, all I hope is
that we do not get a cold snap and spoil them all. I got some response from a reader this month and
there is a contribution from someone new – PLEASE would some more of you send me something to
put in that makes for extra interest. Don’t be nervous, if you send by email or leave in the reception
for my file you will be anonymous to me, and you may then see yourself in print.
Any nice photos could be of interest as well as I have difficulty finding something for the front cover
at times and welcome offerings.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR PUBLICATION – PLEASE

suggestions for the front cover, could be a subject relevant to the month, season or a photograph of an
item of interest. If you have an unusual hobby and would like to write about it, or someone in you

SAINSBURY VETERANS
After the Christmas break, we opened our first meeting of the year with the ever popular Snowman’s
Drive. Quite a few members arrived, and enjoyed a fairly noisy afternoon. There were occasional
cries of “You can’t have got a Snowman already – I haven’t even got a six to start yet”. Two tied for
first place, and one got the booby prize. The afternoon started the year off successfully.
Our afternoon in February saw the welcome return of Faith Powell. Her talk was entitled, From Sales
Executive to Fairy Fruit Cake. She told us a brief history of her working life up to when she had her
children. When the children were about three or four, she took them to a clown show at Walton
Playhouse which apparently was not that good. Some of the young children had been frightened of
the Punch & Judy show. Turning to the woman beside her, she said she hadn’t thought much of that.
The other woman said she thought she could have done better. So Faith asked her if she was serious,
would she be prepared to come and talk, and see if they could work out something between them. So
started their move into Children’s Entertainers firstly in the school holidays, and later into Birthday
Parties. Faith was Fairy Fruitcake. She dressed up in her outfit for us. This was a pink tutu, a pink
feather scarf and a pink wig – very glamorous. Her friend used to dress similarly but in yellow. We
then had to pretend we were children, and we were then shown some magic tricks. She got one of our
members (Carole) to be her assistant. She was given a little Tutu to wear and a wig. As you can
imagine we had a hilarious afternoon.
Some of our members went to West Side Story at Woking Victoria Theatre the next day. Val Avis
ADDLESTONE COMMUNITY THEATRE
Our thanks to everyone who came to see our recent production of Dick Whittington, which was
directed by Gloria Smith. However much effort we put into our shows, their success is ultimately
judged by the enjoyment of the audiences who come along and pay good money to see them.
Our next production will be on 20th and 21st June and will be two one-act plays. We have two very
able directors in Danny Sparkes and Graham Botterill, so we can promise you will be truly
entertained. Seating will be at tables of 8 and a bar will be available. We are holding open auditions
on 19th March at 8 pm in Studio 2. I will be able to tell you more about this production in the next
issue of the Addlestonian.
Apart from our usual need for front of house and back stage crews, we also need people who are
willing and able to construct scenery, so if you have some hours to spare and have a flair in that
direction, please contact me on 01932 225441 or [email protected] to offer your services.
We don’t pay cash but we promise to keep you supplied with tea or coffee and biscuits

KEEP FIT
The keep fit section is a thriving part of the community centre, attracting people of all ages and
abilities to the main hall of the community centre every Wednesday (in term time) between
7.30 and 8.45pm. Regular activities include aerobic stamina exercises, floor work and an
extended movement is usually taught over a two or three week period to a particular piece of
music, for members to learn and practice. Wear comfortable clothing and jazz shoes or bare
feet and take a mat along if you have one to make floor work more comfortable.
We are a very friendly group and new members are always welcome to join. If you are not sure
this class is for you, why not come along on a Wednesday evening and give it a try.
Our current term ends on 9th April for the Easter break
we restart on Wednesday 30th April 2014.

TRAVEL PLANS ? . . . .
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have
to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.
I have made several trips there, thanks to my children, friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity
anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I find I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favourite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the
old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing. They tell
me it is very wet and damp there.

The Wonderful Times We Had As Boys.....
What wonderful times we two had as boys
Going to school at five was such joy!
We went, hand in hand, off to the school gate
Den said to Mum, “I hope we’re not late!”
There at the school, she kissed us ‘goodbye’
And both of us saw, the tears in her eye
She left us alone but it wasn’t too long
Before we palled up with two girls, called Betty and Jean
They stood in the corner alone and afraid
So we went straight up to the two girls and said:
“We’re Maurice and Dennis and we’ll be your friends”
And we became best of pals – not alone much again!
When we were eight, we danced for the Queen
The King was there too – what a sight to be seen!
At Wembley we tried hard at our maypole dances
But sadly, in the semis, we lost our chances.
We went up to the big school when we were only eight.
“Do not dawdle along the road,” Mum said, “or you will both be late.”
We got there and in the gateway, met brothers, Ron and Ken.
They looked after us – that was me and Den.
We soon both made many friends, as we walked amongst the boys,
But we still missed the Infant School, and all the girls and boys.
Our class lined up in rows of threes, then marched into the hall,
Where we all sang our hymns, to the music of Mrs. Hall.
-2She was a lovely teacher, and very strict it’s true
but she never had a favourite, just respect for one and all.
Because we both looked so alike and had so much fun together,
When we got into trouble we said, “That wasn’t me - that was my brother!”
Then we broke off our pen nibs and made them into darts.
We threw them at the blackboard and they stuck in there quite fast!
The teacher said, “Who did that?” but no-one gave us away.
They wanted to know how it was done so they could do it too one day!
We often laughed about these times and the good old days gone by.
Den said “remember when you had, three stripes across your bum
by Mr. Ayling, the Head, for the things you hadn’t done?”
Then we’d laugh about elastic bands, across the fingers and the thumb.
We’d make them into catapults and ‘Dead Eye Den’ was born!
I never seemed to get it right so I gave up in the end but
this is the fun of being twins and the funny things we did....
At fourteen our school days came to an end, and we went our different ways.
And then drove other people round the bend for the rest of all our days!

CHERTSEY CAMERA CLUB
The members of Chertsey Camera Club are pleased to announce that we have a new website and, if
you have a few minutes to spare, we invite you to have a look at some of the prints and PDIs
(Projected Digital Images) taken by club members. Our membership continues to grow and results
from competitions, both club wise, and in Surrey competitions, shows that our standard of work is
also flourishing.
We have had a particularly interesting programme this year. One really enjoyable evening featured
“An Eye on the Hebrides", a photographic tour through the Hebrides presented by Ruari A L
Cumming ARPS. With evocative images, some history & humorous stories, and all accompanied with
AV sequences & captivating music, we were taken on a journey through the different islands and I,
for one, cannot wait to make a trip there to see if I can capture such beautiful scenery.
We budding photographers become quite competitive when it comes to the quarterly competitions. If
you get good marks you rate the judge; if you don’t do so well, the judge doesn’t know what he is
talking about! So an evening led by Tony Riley LBIPP, entitled "Don’t Blame the Judge you
Shot the Picture", was an interactive, lively evening looking at some of our own competition
submissions from a judge’s perspective! Oh well – I’ll try better next time!
An evening in the RAW is not quite as it appears but a 2-part presentation, giving an overview of
using RAW format when taking images, and then seeing it in action using Lightroom, proved
instructive. Presented by Michael Farley LRPS, this helped us get better acquainted with using this
format where possible. Again in “An evening with Douglas Kurn”, this professional
photographer explained how he spent whole nights, after sundown, using only existing light, taking
images for his exhibition "Spirit of Brooklands". You may have seen some of the results in the
local paper. These images were quite different and again inspiring.
Thanks to the Castle Inn at Ottershaw we had a very convivial evening at our Christmas Social, with
good food, wine and chatter, and we toasted our future success in 2014. Our programme goes right
through until June and we will have more competitions, visiting speakers and a practical evening in
portraiture. We are a small, friendly club and all standards, types of cameras and themes are
represented, so if you enjoy photography consider joining us!

Dear Friends of Addlestone Community, Stage & Youth
On Tuesday, KATS Productions went live on Brooklands Radio where OLIVIA! A New
Musical was featured in their 'AmDram Shout Out'.
The 'Podcast' can be heard here: www.kats.me/podcast.htm where you'll hear two of the girls
discussing the forthcoming show, and singing 'Happiness Somewhere'.
‘OLIVIA’ is a musical set in Victorian times, tracing the steps of Olivia, from downtrodden orphan to
star of the stage.
On her journey to the bright lights of London she is befriended by Eliza Doolittle (from “My Fair
Lady”) and, after a series of adventures, becomes a singer in a new Gilbert & Sullivan show, thanks to
the unlikely assistance of Fagin and The Artful Dodger. Familiar names and one-liners from other
shows crop up along the way.
I will be playing the piano at interval & pre-show, and the Mayor will join us on Saturday.
WE WOULD BE PLEASED IF YOU WOULD ALSO JOIN US & SUPPORT OUR GREAT
BUNCH OF TALENTED YOUNGSTERS.
By the time you read this, our OLIVIA show will be over. We hope those who came along to see it
and support the youngsters enjoyed it as much as we did preparing everything for the stage. With this
edition’s submission deadline being before the show, as I write this piece, it is of course impossible to
include pictures, nor reflect on how it all went. We will doubtless be looking to move swiftly on with
ideas for the future, and we expect there to be significant and exciting news, which we hope to be able
to bring you next time.
After a show it is always a time where some members may come and go, so this is a good time for any
youngsters who may be interested in joining the group to get in touch.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW MEMEBERS NOW. If you know of any youngsters who might be
interested in joining our not-for-profit Youth Theatre based at the heart of Addlestone we would urge
them to contact the group as soon as possible, to check us out.
Please see www.kats.me for details.

Scouting in Addlestone
Once again we have been very active. We started the term by taking 12 Scouts and 3 Leaders to brave
the elements and join 2,500 other Scouts for Winter Camp at Gilwell.
Winter Camp is a camp held each January in North London with lots of activities for the Scouts to try.
They include kayaking, climbing, digger driving, 'leap of faith', radio direction finding and many
many more. In fact many Scouts seem to rate this as 'one of the best camps ever' despite temperatures
of below minus 3!
Camping in modern 'Patrol tents' sleeping 10 to a tent, Addlestone Scouts joined Chertsey Scouts for a
fantastic week-end. Catering as a 'group' meant the scouts turned up at meal times then went off
trying anything that caught their eye. Needless to say with two and a half thousand scouts trudging
across the camp site it was very muddy and although the night time temperature dropped to minus 3
the ground was constantly a 'liquid' mud. Everyone managed to stay warm though not clean and I'm
sure several bars of soap went back home unopened!!
As for our regular meetings we had a very interesting meeting hosted, at our HQ, by several 'doctors'
from Surrey University and the British Chemistry Society. The 'doctors' demonstrated gases and then
helped the scouts with several experiments, making carbon dioxide, oxygen and hydrogen. The
evening was so busy we didn't get chance to make the glue out of milk, vinegar and soda crystals!
We also entered the District Scout Cooking competition. With two scouts from each Troop (1st/4th
and 5th). Based on the 'Ready, Steady, Cook' principle, the Scouts had to decide what to cook and
produce a dish without having seen the ingredients first. A daunting task for most but they rose to the
challenge and although we didn't win, put in a fine effort and produce a great meal.
With the New Year our troop size has increased. Several Cubs have joined us as well as some others
who have never been in scouting but have heard about the fun we have. In the coming weeks we must
invest ten 'Tenderfoots' which brings our joint troops up to 34 Scout who can make quite a noise.
The cub packs haven't been sitting still either. They also had a cooking competition recently and,
although they were unsuccessful they managed to score within 1 point of the winning team.
Another District event which the cubs attended was 'the Big Splash'. This is an evening were the
district cubs take over Woking Leisure Pool and spend time enjoying the water cannons, wave
machine and just having a jolly good time.
The Lions pack also went 'do-nutting' at Guildford Ski School. Sitting in large rubber rings and sliding
down the dry ski slopes (often with a 'helping hand' from the leaders). All really enjoyed the morning
though I can tell you it was very tiring giving the cubs a 'gentle' push.
15
Coming up the Scouts have a Day Prowl. This is a hike around Chobham Common where they must
navigate a route and pass check points. At each check point they must carry out a task before
continuing. Tasks can range from making a cup of tea, to tying knots or stilt walking.
Preparations are being made for several camps later on this year. One camp being Scoutabout, a camp
held every 3 years at Ardingly Show Ground in Sussex. We have to hold it there as it is one of the
only sites that can accommodate the four to five thousand Scouts and Guides which attend. Then later
in the year the Group will be going to Ossmington Bay, near Weymouth, to an activity centre, but
before those there will be lots more fun to be had.
Other events include fishing competitions, night hikes and several local camps, but more of those
later. Until next time..
Steve BJ Scout Leader.
NOSTALGIA
The cover photograph of the Addlestonian for April-May 1995 was of the 1995 Gala Queen and
Princesses. The Gala Committee had decided to revive this long past feature of the annual Gala.
Michelle Calver was the Queen and Lydney Trevaskis and Annaleigh Maslen the Princesses.
The President, Stanley Yeandle’s editorial ‘A Time of Peace’ ended with ‘Peace in Our Time’ – is it
to be a positive hope, a forlorn hope, or merely wishful thinking. May all our readers enjoy a happy
and peaceful Easter.
He also wrote the leader article noting that the total membership of 1,435 should be improved
considering Addlestone’s population of 18,000 and ended by ‘let’s help swell the membership figure
to 2,000 by the Year 2,000’. The current membership is 775!
Peter Hughes had checked the advertisements for the early magazines and found that of the 12, 8 had
ceased trading. Those left were Cosmic Radio, Addlestone Models, Peacocks and Walter C Wortt.
The only one of these advertising in issue no. 144 was Walter Wortt.
A fire, thought to be arson, had destroyed Addlestone Youth Club building and all its contents.
ACT had been rehearsing their Spring Concert of two one-act plays ‘Easy Stages’ and ‘Too Long an
autumn’. Body Workshop were preparing for their 25th Rally, which included their ‘Addlestone Tea’.
Bridge reported mixed fortunes for their second year in the Thames Valley League.

BRIDGE
We were extremely saddened to learn of the death of one of our founder members, Peter Sutherland.
Peter was born 9th September 1926 and led a full and varied life, serving his National Service in India
and Egypt during the latter stages of the war. He then went on to University to study History and
Economics which led to a fascination for Politics.
Wishing to serve his community, he offered
himself as Labor Candidate and, although he was never elected, being in a strong Conservative
constituency, he was dedicated to helping the underprivileged.
Peter met Claire in the winter of 1957 and they were married 6 months later in May 1958. They were
blessed with 3 lovely daughters who eventually married and, between them, produced 10
grandchildren. Peter was very much a family man, an inspiration to all.
In 1968 Peter, along with Harold Taylor and Geoff Groves decided to introduce a Bridge Section to
the newly formed Addlestone Community Centre in Station Road. Geoff became the first Chairman,
Harold the first Treasurer and Peter the first Secretary. They roped in another friend to make up the
first table and it wasn’t long before word got around, that the numbers increased to such an extent that
Friday evening sessions were no longer enough, so they started Wednesday evening sessions as well,
with Claire partnering Peter.
Eventually his health deteriorated so that he was admitted into hospital where he passed away
peacefully on 12th February. His funeral at Woking Crematorium on 26th February was very well
attended. We offer Claire and her family our very sincere condolences.
Gill Pegley.

OBITUARY: ALAN WILDING
Sadly we report that Alan Wilding, a member since 1989, died on December 29th, 2013 in
Woodbridge.
Alan and his family moved to Addlestone in the early 1980’s. He and his wife, Barbara, became
members of the Association in 1985 and life members in 1989. They soon joined the Gardening
Section and Alan became a member of the Association’s Executive. He was also the treasurer of the
Gardening Sections’ Open Autumn Horticultural Show. In this capacity he organized the Show
Schedule. As I was producing ‘The Addlestonian’ he asked me if I would also produce the schedule
for him. These shows were very popular and well supported events.
He was also involved with the Charities Fair and the Chertsey and Addlestone Band, in which his
younger son played (this later became the Genet Band).
He had an Adana printing machine, and when Membership Numbers were introduced he produced the
Membership cards. He continued to produce these cards for a number of years after moving to
Woodbridge in 2000. He maintained his contacts with the Association and the Gardening Section. He
followed the provision of the new Centre in Garfield Road, which was proposed in 2000, with great
interest.
We extend our sincere sympathy to Barbara and the family; the funeral took place in early February.

MODERN SEQUENCE DANCING
In January about 30 of us went on a dancing holiday for 5 days to Lakeside, Hayling Island. It was a
very good week with lots of dancing and entertainment, and enjoyed by all. The club is still thriving
with our new leaders. Brian and Tricia took the club while we were away and taught the Sixty
Saunter.
Then it was the turn of Pat and Clive who taught us a new Gavotte.
In February Peter and Rosemary taught us the Sapphire Tango
They also led us in the February dance with Phillip Randles at the organ, which was a very good
evening.
Pat and Clive then took the club for the next two weeks and taught us the latest new dance which is
the Mississippi Blues.
Happy Dancing Ethel.

OH THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDREN
JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister... After a while he asked:
'Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?'
MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was.. Granny replied she was so old she didn't
remember any more. Melanie said, 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties.
Mine say five to six.'
STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night 'I love you so much that when you die I'm
going to bury you outside my bedroom window.'
BRITTANY (age 4) had an ear ache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the
bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it
for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'
SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. 'Please don't give me this juice again,'
she said, 'It makes my teeth cough..'
DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: 'How much do I cost?'
CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried when his Mom asked what was troubling him,
he replied, 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in it?'
MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant.
Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'
TAMMY(age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom
knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, 'Why doesn't your skin fit your face?'
JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: 'The man named Lot was warned to take
his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.' Concerned, James
asked: 'What happened to the flea?'
The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget...
This particular Sunday sermon....'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven
and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would have continued
but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite
audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

MEETINGS OF ADDLESTONE HISTORICAL SOCIETY,
FEB.-MARCH 2014
Our meeting on Tuesday, 4th February, was entitled “Eyots and Aits of the Thames” and was given
by Miranda Vickers, who has recently written a book on the subject dealing, as its title suggests,
with some of the many Thames islands. We were told that there are 190 of them, starting with
Canvey Island in the estuary, and obviously Miranda was able to deal only with a small proportion of
them in her talk; but she told us the history of many of them, explained that a good number of them
are now partly or exclusively wildlife sanctuaries and encouraged us to take to our boats and go and
explore as many of them as we could – rather ironic, in view of the over-abundance of water in the
Thames (and many other places locally!) which had submerged some of the islands even as she spoke
to us! If we are lucky enough to have a reasonable summer, I’m sure that those of us of a boating
disposition will endeavour to take a look at some of the more accessible islands.
On Tuesday, 4th March, we heard an excellent lecture on “Gertrude Jekyll and Sources for Garden
History” given by Julian Pooley, a well-known local historian from the Surrey History Centre who
has spoken to us before: there was a good attendance, and possibly some of the members of ACA may
have been there to hear it. Julian showed us in intricate detail many of Gertrude Jekyll’s drawn plans
for gardens which she designed, but he also pointed out that she came to practical gardening fairly late
in life: she started as a water colour artist – we saw some of her paintings - embroiderer and interior
designer, as well as practising carpentry (using her father’s tools) and metal-working, among
numerous other skills. It was her contributions to gardening magazines which prompted readers to
commission her to design their gardens, which then developed into her principal occupation.
Our talk on Tuesday, 1st April, is due to be “The Story of My Working Life”, by Ann Harris; and
on Tuesday, 6th May, we are to hear the talk on “Lady Margaret Beaufort and Other Great Ladies
of Woking Manor and Palace” by Richard Savage and Peter Smee which had to be postponed
towards the end of last year when Richard Savage was not well enough to give it.
Please do come and join us at one of our Tuesday meetings at the Community Centre – 8.00 p.m. in
the Muriel Wise Suite – as we shall be treated to many more interesting subjects throughout the year:
there are talks to come on Surrey in Films; Christchurch, Ottershaw; Riots in Surrey; and the
history of Walton Bridge. Visitors, always welcome, pay £2, but membership is only £12 for the
year. Posters giving the titles of talks appear around town and on noticeboards shortly before our
meetings. We hope to welcome some of you during 2014.
