Dear Parishioners, May I wish you all a very Healthy and Happy New Year! It is a joy to be part of your community and to share with the ups and downs of life that we all face. I hope and pray that this year there will be some special times to treasure together and that all will find happiness within our community. Another year draws to a close, which has had more than its fair share of dramas in our political world! Strange that about 1 in every 3 people didn’t vote and take responsibility for the difficulties we face however hard that has been. I will continue to pray for our politicians in this New Year, whether new to post or having served for many years. May they find wisdom, courage, strength and a desire to serve the common good as we journey forward together. I will pray for us as their constituents that we might support and encourage good will towards those who have taken this responsibility this year. I encourage you all to make new year’s resolutions that will benefit this world in which we live (not just ourselves) and especially as we face global issues and environment challenges. A couple of occasions to let your hair down in January – the first is a Quiz Night on Saturday 18 th January 7 for 7.30pm at the Coronation Hall. Either come as a team of up to 6, or just turn up and you will be allocated a team - £5 entry fee and wonderful refreshments to buy (scotch eggs from the Nest on the Ledbury Road) and a bar. We are raising money for the “A Treasure in our Midst” Project which is putting the bid together for the Heritage Lottery Fund to re-roof the North side of the church, redecorate the inside, as well as put on activities that will draw attention to our wonderful church and its interesting past and hopeful future. Come and have a bit of fun!! Please let the office know or the project email that you will find on the posters or invites so that we can order enough food! The second event is a concert at Aymestrey Village Hall on Friday 25 th January at 7.30pm. The Shanty Men will be singing and there will be sandwiches and snacks as well as a bar. We are joining forces as a benefice, to fill the hall and raise money for the common work of the churches. Do come and enjoy the music and merriment. Tickets are available from Peter King our remaining churchwarden as Jean travels the world. Plough Sunday is celebrated on January 5 th and we will pray for our farming community at the beginning of a new year. Every blessing Julie Kingsland News January 2020 A Happy New Year to all our readers!

Dear Parishioners,
May I wish you all a very Healthy and Happy New Year! It is a joy to be part of your community and to share with the ups and downs of life that we all face. I hope and pray that this year there will be some special times to treasure together and that all will find happiness within our community.
Another year draws to a close, which has had more than its fair share of dramas in our political world! Strange that about 1 in every 3 people didn’t vote and take responsibility for the difficulties we face however hard that has been. I will continue to pray for our politicians in this New Year, whether new to post or having served for many years. May they find wisdom, courage, strength and a desire to serve the common good as we journey forward together. I will pray for us as their constituents that we might support and encourage good will towards those who have taken this responsibility this year.
I encourage you all to make new year’s resolutions that will benefit this world in which we live (not just ourselves) and especially as we face global issues and environment challenges.
A couple of occasions to let your hair down in January – the first is a Quiz Night on Saturday 18th January 7 for 7.30pm at the
Coronation Hall. Either come as a team of up to 6, or just turn up and you will be allocated a team - £5 entry fee and wonderful refreshments to buy (scotch eggs from the Nest on the Ledbury Road) and a bar. We are raising money for the “A Treasure in our Midst” Project which is putting the bid together for the Heritage Lottery Fund to re-roof the North side of the church, redecorate the inside, as well as put on activities that will draw attention to our wonderful church and its interesting past and hopeful future. Come and have a bit of fun!! Please let the office know or the project email that you will find on the posters or invites so that we can order enough food!
The second event is a concert at Aymestrey Village Hall on Friday 25th January at 7.30pm. The Shanty Men will be singing and there will be sandwiches and snacks as well as a bar. We are joining forces as a benefice, to fill the hall and raise money for the common work of the churches. Do come and enjoy the music and merriment.

Kingsland Oral History Project
Over the past few months we have been collecting the memories of older residents of living and working in Kingsland parish from before WW2 through the 20th century. You can listen to them talking about what the village and area was like and their memories of the village, farming, the stores and pubs, the school, the church and chapels, wartime, the beginning of Luctonians, and much more. Everything collected is on a new KingslandLife website page called ‘Memories of Kingsland – The Oral History Project’, which you can find under ‘History’ at www.kingslandlife.com
On our website page, for each participant, you will find the recorded interview and a time coded summary of what they talk about which researchers (or you!) can use to find a particular part of a recording. We have also added photos and documents kindly lent to us by each person.
All the recordings are on a YouTube channel called ‘The Kingsland Oral History Project’ which you can go to directly via searching the name on YouTube or Google. You can subscribe to the channel and you’ll then get an alert when new recordings are added. A copy of the recordings will also go to the Hereford Archives and Record Centre.
Over the next few months we will add new recordings but meanwhile we hope you find what we have collected so far enjoyable and interesting. We’d like to thank everyone who’s taken part so far for your valuable and interesting contributions!
If you would like to share your early memories of living in the village and parish please contact Jackie Markham (01568
708281) or Sally Deakin (01568 708839) who’d love to come and talk to you! We’d also like to hear from you if you’d like to be involved in the project by talking to residents and/or helping write up summaries of interviews.
This is a reminder that the Annual General Meeting of the Kingsland Flower Show will be held in the Tea Room of Kingsland Post Office at 7.00pm on Tuesday 21st January, 2020. (Please note date correction) New members are constantly being sought, so if you think you fit the bill, please come along to the AGM. Also, if you have suggestions for the format of the Show, come and air your views.
