St Michael’s ChurchDear Friends The long days of June are here -
Summer, in all its beauty, gardens are full of flowers, the fields
are full of growing crops, animals graze in the rich mead-ows and
pastures. Fish rise in the rivers and birds call overhead.
Everything around us seems touched by God’s glory. After a long,
hard winter, these lovely days fill us with joy. David Adam, the
writer and priest, who was at one time Vicar of Holy Island has
writ-ten a great many prayers in the Celtic tradition. The natural
world was a great source of revelation to the people who lived and
worked on the islands around our northern and western coasts in the
early days of Christian witness in our land. In the daily round of
work and rest, and in the seasons of the landscape around them, the
people found great inspiration, the prayers that were handed down
weave the every-day realities of lives lived close to the natural
world with a celebration of God’s love and grace revealed in the
gift of his creation. This is one of David Adam’s prayers, written
in response to the ever present rhythm of the tides around Holy
Island.
Grant to me, Lord, Joy in giving, Joy in receiving. Love
in-coming, Love out-flowing. Peace instilling, Peace distilling.
Wisdom infilling, Wisdom outpouring. Grant to me, O Lord, A rhythm
of life.
God who my life sanctified Jesus Christ who death defied Spirit
ever at my side From inflowing to ebb tide From ebbing to inflowing
tide Ever with me abide. Amen.
May the glory of these summer days reveal some-thing of God’s
love for us and inspire us to praise him day by day in all that we
do.
Yours in Christ, Heather

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
The new Parish Council met on Monday 9th May and elected Derek
Ling as Chairman and Robin Knott as Vice Chairman. Only four
candidates put themselves forward for the new council term which is
the minimum number required forming a quorum, Pam James-Moore and
Stan Davis being the other members of the Council.
Chairman’s reportI am honoured to be asked to take on the role
of Chairman for the Parish Council for the next twelve months. The
previous council has been very proactive and has made several
significant improvements within the Parish. I would like to take
this opportunity in thanking the previous Councillors for their
work and effort, the community is vibrant and in good shape. I
would especially like to thank the previous Chairman David Tilford
for leading the team and for giving so much of his personal time in
support of the Parish.
Because only four local people are prepared to put themselves
forward to be on the Council it could be believed that apathy
reigns in Bodenham, but I know from my time as Chairman of the
Community Plan group that there is real interest and passion from
local people in getting involved and helping Bodenham be a better
place to live and work. The new Council will continue to support
the current projects and look to improve the community where ever
possible. It will be difficult in the short term as we only have
four Councillors but I am confident that more volunteers, who want
to make a difference, will come forward and regular Council
business will continue. Due to holiday commitments we will not meet
in June and the next Council meeting will therefore be on Monday
4th July at 7.30pm at the Siward James Centre.
Derek LingIf you would like more information on how you could
help and be part of the Council, please contact either Derek Ling
tel. 797389 or Chris Smith our Parish clerk on 797132 or
[email protected]

It is with sadness that I report the death of Nina Horton,
formerly of 50 Brockington Road, who died earlier this month. She
was a very keen bowler and spent many happy times playing with
Bodenham Bowling Club; she was also a guide at Berrington Hall.
Nina was in her early 90’s and had been living in Withernsea, East
Yorkshire for many years. I am sure all those in the village who
knew her will re-member her fondly.Gwenllian Bowden

you in the draws which take place from August onwards. Exactly half
the income will be paid out in prizes regardless of how many people
take part. You can purchase your ‘share’ at Gardening Club or by

everyone who attended the films this year. ‘Flicks’ provides a very
important part of Hall income and without it we would struggle to
pay some of our regular bills. We look forward to an interesting
programme starting in September. I’m sure those of you who have
seen the new big screen and improved sound system will agree it’s a
very good experience, without the hassle of driving to and parking

From the Editor, Welcome to the new look Bodenham News-letter! I
hope you approve, but it you have any comments or suggestions
please let me know. Trojan attacks and killer worms delayed the
production of May’s issue so long that in the end it was too late
to go to print. The first time this has happened this century! The
newsletter was available through the e-newsletter and the village
website and Deidre George at Saffron’s Cross garage for offered to
print copies for anyone who didn’t have access to a computer. Thank
you Dei-dre it was a heroic offer! Looking back, we had an election
at the beginning of the month, or rather WE didn’t - as nobody put
themselves forward for election to Bodenham Parish Council, leaving
just four councillors to soldier on. The Parish Council is the
first rung of Local Government and is everyone’s opportunity to
contribute village life and help improve our local surroundings. If
you want to know more about what’s involved, get in touch with one
of the remaining Parish Councillors, I’m sure they’ll be pleased to
hear from you. Looking forward there’s a Duck Race! Yayy Ducks!! If
you remember the last race you’ll know that I’m childishly excited
by the thought of hundreds of little yellow ducks being thrown into
the river. Last time conditions were just a little adverse and the
ducks weren’t in the mood for a race, but they were in the mood for
a bit of messing about on the river which was just as much fun. So
don’t forget to buy your duck, choose it with care, but whether
it’s a serious swimmer or a total clown make sure you follow its
progress with a stroll along the river bank. The next issue is the
double July/August edition, the deadline for contributions is 18th
June.Sign up for the e-newsletter by
