Editorial
Welcome to the February edition of the Loddon Valley Link. As ever, please keep your articles and photographs coming
in, as they are vital to the success of the magazine.
This month we remember one of our most distinguished residents, the 8 th
Duke of Wellington, who died at Stratfield Saye on the 31st of December.(See front cover picture from a portraitby Andrew Festing ©Stratfield SayePreservation Trust). His death comessix months before the 200th
anniversary of the 1815 Battle ofWaterloo which saw Napoleon andthe French defeated at the hands of
the 1st Duke of Wellington.
Feed back on the various locations forcollecting a copy of the Link havebeen very positive and indicate thatwe are covering a wide area ofdistribution. Also, if you would like toget a copy emailed to you please see
the website.
I hope you have noticed? We havegone all colour , colour , colour … andfuture copies of the Link will now giveus a greater flexibility of both style
and content.

Finally, I point out the request on page 50 of this addition. SherfieldVillage arrange a wide variety of events and activities both in the VillageHall and outside, like the Fete. This is a two-edged sword since theorganisation requires more and more helpers. Please see if you can
offer a bit of public spirited help to support all the activities planned!

Food BankMany have been contributing to the food bank at The Shop atSherfield on Loddon, but few have possibly realised the extent to
which this has been going on.
Ken says that up to Christmas, 465Kg. of food have been sent to the
food bank at Basingstoke, providing 1,107 meals with 3,054 peoplebeing fed. This is a tremendous effort and shows the generosity of
the people of Sherfield and the surrounding area. A big thank you toeveryone who has contributed.

Pastoral Letter
One of the hardest things in life is to let go, to trust others, and to trust
God. We like to be in control, to make our own destiny, and to model our
own lives. We may say “I got the job because I was the right person at
the right place at the right time”. But who placed us in the right place at
the right time? We may say it was destiny, but I prefer to say it was
the hand of God. As one gets older and we reflect on the past, one can
identify times when no amount of personal organisation could have pro-
duced the course of events that has taken place. Sometimes we call it
serendipity, such as the accidental discovery of penicillin by Alexander
Fleming in 1928, or the invention of the microwave oven by Percy Spen-
cer in 1945. Think how much both these discoveries have not only
changed lives, but saved lives. Can we see the hand of God in actionhere?
About 150 years ago there was a family named Shaw who sailed to
Cape Town with the intention of entering the interior as a missionary.
They were discouraged by the Boers who gave them no assistance.
Every door seemed closed. They purchased an ox-cart and decided to
go wherever the ox led
them.They meandered 300
miles over the pathless
veldt, putting their entire
trust in God. One day,
on a distant plain they
saw a company of na-
tive travellers approach-ing them. They were
indigenous Khoikhoi
people, or aboriginal herders on their way to Cape Town, seeking a mis-
sionary. There in the wilderness they met, and God began His mighty
work among these African tribes.
Serendipity, or the work of God? I prefer to think the latter.
Isaiah 43:19 I am making a way in the desert and streams in thewasteland.

If you think you might like to join us, please call Chris Ford (01256
470174) to arrange a visit to the tower.
Ted Garside
The village was saddened by the death in November of Edward (Ted)Garside, who, with Jean his wife, lived for many years at King's Barn,
behind the cricket pavilion before moving to Longbridge Close.
The Garsides, with sons James and Thomas, settled in Sherfield on
Loddon when Ted was appointed finance director of the AA group ofcompanies, serving with distinction throughout an unsettled andespecially demanding period in the history of the organisation. Ted isremembered with respect by colleagues as a consummate
professional, and with affection as a thoroughly decent man.
"Bean counting", Ted called it. But his accountancy skills were matchedby shrewd business analysis and were to prove valuable outside aswell as inside the AA -- he advised on the restructuring of the finances
of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, was a founding donor andfinancial adviser to The Anvil, and was closely involved with St
Leonard's Church and village events, including the summer fair.
Music and golf were Ted's passions. He was a member of BasingstokeGolf Club for more than 20 years, and will be sorely missed by the"veterans" with whom he regularly played. Missed, too, by hiscompanions on frequent visits to the Concorde jazz club in Eastleighand, closer to home, to all manner of concerts at The Anvil. His musical
tastes were truly catholic.

STRATFIELD SAYE PARISH REPORT
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and I take the opportunity to
wish everyone a Happy New Year.
After the resignation of Richard Phillips from the Parish Council the
Councillors co-
opted Ian Pearson, who lives in Green Lane, to fill thevacant position. He has already helped the Parish Council with valuableinformation on the broadband provision in Stratfield Saye, which we allknow is extremely bad and is researching on their behalf any solutionswhich could improve the situation in the future. It seems ludicrous that acommunity living about 7 miles from 2 large towns such as Reading andBasingstoke should be virtually left in the dark ages with inadequatebroadband with serious consequences to anyone trying to run abusiness in the area. As we get further information we’ll let residentsknow.
We have now heard from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council aboutthe Stratfield Saye 154 bus service. It will stay as is until the end ofMarch when it will be reduced to once a week – on a Thursday. Inthese days of cost cutting our representations to the Borough Councilthat they could not isolate a community did manage to save one of theservices. So please use it often so they have no reason to stop it forunderuse!!
The Parish Council again supported the 3rd Stratfield Saye Christmaslunch for residents which was held on Monday 22nd December 2014 andenjoyed by all. Unfortunately as it was held later this year a few peoplecould not attend so we’ll be agreeing the date for next year early toensure everyone can come. So do come along ‘this’ year as it is a very
happy community get-together!!
Don’t forget to come along to the monthly coffee mornings on the first
Monday of each month – next 2nd
February – in the Village Hall at11.00a.m. – again a great opportunity for a chat with neighbours andfriends and a chance to tell either myself or Councillor Nixon of any
concerns you might have.
The next Parish Council meeting is on 2nd March 2015 at 7.30p.m - allare welcome – it is only with your participation that the Parish Council
hear of any problems or concerns in the Parish.
Penny Mayo, Stratfield Saye Parish Clerk

TEXT FOR THE MONTH… … Paul’s letter to the Romans 8 : 37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him wholoved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels
nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neitherheight nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to sepa-
rate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.The NIV Bible
Prayer for the Month.
Our loving God and Saviour of the world we praise for your great good-ness to us, your love which redeemed us in Christ and which has
welcomed us as your people and has called us into your family. We haveno claim on your goodness, no right to your love for we so often fail you,
and yet you still value the service we offer to you. Despite our faults, weknow that you are always with us inviting us to show your love in wordand deed and to reveal your gracious purpose for all. Loving God we
truly want to serve you better and we come to you knowing how we sooften fail you. Have mercy on us in this new year and, by your grace,help us to walk more closely with you in the days ahead.
In your name we pray. Amen
Prayer Points for February Pray for those who put their lives at risk to serve others
especially those who go to West Africa to treat people
suffering from the Ebola virus. Pray that the attempts toend the problems of Ebola may produce success.
Pray for all suffering from the effects of the many recent
natural disasters and help us not to forget the long term devastation
they leave. Pray especially for all who have been caught in the forestfires in Australia.
Pray for peace in all countries where violence and terror cause so
many to live in fear each day especially for Syria and Iraq. Pray forleaders to take forward the peace processes in these countries
Give thanks for the signs of Spring as we enjoy flowers appearing
again in our gardens and along the hedgerows.

holdings to the government in the
hope of preserving them
The plan to modernise the Wellingtonestates included opening to the public
Stratfield Saye, the 17
th
century housewith 7,500 acres which had beengiven by the nation to the 1st Duke,and the creation of a 700-acre countrypark. In the
course of 40 years, it was estimated that heplanted more than one million trees, and was stillpersonally planting at the Jubilee (right). He wasstill very sharp pointing out the flag flying upsidedown much to the chagrin of the vicar and some
senior military officers present.
His death came just six months before the 200 th
anniversary of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo whichsaw Napoleon and the French defeated at the
hands of the 1st Duke of Wellington.
Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, who is chairman of
Waterloo 200, the body overseeing the anniversary celebrations, saidthat despite his increasing frailty, the 8th Duke remained interested and
involved in plans right up to the end.
It is sad that he did not make the 200th anniversary,particularly the service of remembrance at St. Paul’s
Cathedral on June 18th.
The 8th Duke is succeeded by his son Arthur CharlesValerian, born 19th August 1945, and his wife, formallyPrincess Antonia of Prussia, as the 9 th Duke andDuchess. In the picture (left) he is seen as Chairmanof the Council of King’s
College, London, 2009.
The 9th Duke and Duchesshave five children, the
eldest of whom, Arthur Wellesley, nowbecomes Marquess of Douro. He is marriedto Jemma Kidd, and they have twins (right)and a younger son.

the evening ramble, safari supper, play reading and music evening as well asmeetings on the theme for this year, Democracy, Liberty and Human Rightsto commemorate the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta in1215. We have therefore arranged to hold a debate on Rights versusResponsibility and another meeting on Freedom of the Press.

Noddol Players Latest Play - review by Nomis Esaob
Murder Most Foul
Well I wasn’t sure of what tomake of this one. At first I was
thinking everyone involvedshould be thoroughlyashamed of themselves. Theacting was dreadful, thetiming was off, the promptingneeded prompting, the setswere not (obviously notenough hard hats to go
round), and as for the safe,well what’s the opposite ofsafe? (Was that Thing from the Addams Family in there? I couldn't find thecredit). Even the author wrote under a nom d ’plume.
However what seemed initially to be a total farce was in fact a total farceor should that be tour de force. Having realised the bad acting was goodacting and the good acting was bad acting the bad acting shone through. Iimagine it’s very difficult for good actors to act badly but the bad actors
were clearly very good actors as they pulled it off brilliantly.
A play about a play could easily have been confusing but not in this case.Play On by Rick Abbott was a story about an am-dram society’s attemptto put on a play. Four days before the play’s debut the author was busyrewriting it and some lovely performances highlighted the frustration ofcast and director. Act two led us into the dress rehearsalwhere even the dresses needed rehearsal, and I loved thatwig. By act three we were all ready for opening night. The
audience was warmed up and loving it and the cast actingaccordingly.
All in all everyone involved, and there were a lot of them,should be thoroughly pleased with themselves. The audience
loved it and went out happy. What more can you say.
The Loddon Players continue to uphold the fine tradition ofamateur dramatics. Make sure you don’t miss the next
production, places seem to fill up quickly.Spring 2015 production (16/17/18 April) at Sherfield VillageHall will be "LUCKY SODS" by John Godber.

The first meeting for 2015 began with fish and chips for everyone as
we did not have a Christmas party and the members enjoyed this
instead.
Unfortunately we were unable to have the video and talk about thewar graves in France and Belgium due to a technical problem. Wehad our Christmas meal at The Longbridge Mill on the 1st December
which is now a distant memory.
The next meeting on February the 2nd will be the AGM followed bybingo

On the 20
th
December forty seven people travelled by coach beyondGuildford to the nationally renowned Nativity play at Wintershall.
It was a stunning sight, on a clear night, to see Joseph, with Mary on adonkey, coming towards us across the fields. Even more stunningwas the angel who really did seem to appear to the shepherds fromthe sky!
As we moved to the vast Barn, the music, the script, thecostumes and the real baby left everyone enthralled as the story
unfolded.
So our grateful thanks to the Loddon Valley Link for its generous
contribution to the overall cost; it was hugely appreciated.

Praying for God’s Purpose
The Ministry Team have decided that, during the Interregnum we
should be meeting for prayer – specifically praying for God’s purposeand direction to be made clear in this matter and for guidance for our
Representatives who will make this appointment.
Therefore, beginning on 7th February we will meet in the Church Room
at 9.00 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month.
We will ensure there is always someone there to lead thesession. The idea is that we should drop in at any time between 9.00and 10.00 and stay just as long as you wish. We hope that as many
people as possible will support this; it is an essential part of the waitingtime.
