A MESSAGE from the Revd

James Mustard (right),

Rector of St Mary’s Church.

THIS YEAR will see many exciting developments at

St Mary’s Church.

LOOKING forward

to joining us as

curate in June: Sam

Korn, with his

fiancée Donna

Allison. The couple

are to be married in

September.

Like Rector James,

Sam is a Cambridge

graduate and has

spent two years

working at St

Albans Abbey.

He has a message

for us on page four.

Our expanding church is . . .

OPEN TO ALL

In late June we will welcome

Sam Korn as our newly-

ordained Assistant Curate. I

am delighted that Sam and

his fiancée Donna will be

joining us in East Barnet and

I know he will receive a very

warm welcome from you

all. He introduces himself

elsewhere in this issue.

Later this year, we will re-

launch our 1000+ Fundrais-

ing Appeal for the renova-

tion and development of the

church. As I write, we have

presented our proposed plans

to the congregation and the

East Barnet Residents Asso-

ciation. We are preparing to

submit our plans to the Di-

ocesan Advisory Committee

and once we have achieved

its approval, we will submit

them to the borough for

planning permission.

So this is, as I said at the

start, a very exciting time for

us at St Mary’s and all of us

in East Barnet.

Our ministry team is expand-

ing and we are preparing to

nurture our ancient building,

provide much needed facili-

ties for our whole commu-

nity and offer a church that

is open for all.

Our plans meet three key needs

of the church and community:

First, we intend to provide im-

proved access to Saint Mary’s

church and improved ease of

movement throughout the build-

ing.

Secondly, we wish to offer a

suite of rooms flowing from the

existing church that will enable

us to extend our Sunday mission

and ministry, and provide facili-

ties for the whole community for

the rest of the week.

Thirdly, we will renovate the

interior of the existing building,

redecorating our ancient church,

providing a new, stone floor and

improved heating, lighting and

sound systems.

A central aspect of the plans, one

that has gained favour with Eng-

lish Heritage and other heritage

bodies, is that we wish to see the

church itself usable by the com-

munity for a wider variety of

community activities and events

than is currently possible.

The church’s working space is

the “hub” of the proposed plans,

with additional spaces flowing

from it. In this way, we seek to

recover the sense of the church

as a “community hall”.

Because of this, the additions

that we propose are more modest

than in previous drafts. This

means that there will be no visual

impact upon the view of the

church from Church Hill Road

and only three trees (a sycamore,

a hawthorn and a holly bush) will

be felled.

We are very well aware of the

sensitive nature of the site and

are committed to preserving it for

future generations while at the

same time providing a facility for

the future benefit of the whole

community.

To fund this, the hall (further

down Church Hill Road, opposite

Oak Hill Park), which has been

closed for four years, will be sold

with planning permission for

housing.

But to complete this project we

will also have to do a great deal

of fundraising. More information

about our fundraising campaign

will follow in the next couple of

months, but if you would like to

know more, or would like to help

with this in some way, do please

feel free to contact me.

By Sam Korn

I AM delighted to introduce my-

self ahead of my arrival as your

new curate later this year. I will,

of course, get to know you prop-

erly when I arrive at the end of

June, but let me give you a little

information about myself…

While my origins lie in the south-

east of England, “home” for me is

really Monmouth, where I went to

school and my parents still live. The

major consequence of my Welsh

upbringing is a firm belief that life

is only good when the Welsh rugby

team is losing.

My Christian journey began in my

early teens, when I was introduced

to the Church through my school

chaplaincy and my parish church. I

served at the altar for several years:

this was an important part of my

development as a Christian and had

a large role in my calling to the

priesthood.

Aged 18, I went to Trinity Hall,

Cambridge, to study theology for

three years. Before I went to univer-

sity, people told me to be sure that

my studies didn’t ruin my faith. I’m

glad to say that they did not! In-

stead, my faith became stronger,

and I realised that I had to explore

my calling more thoroughly.

I therefore spent two years after my

graduation working at St Albans

Abbey. This was a role intended to

help me explore my calling. I there-

fore spent time teaching, preaching,

mopping, visiting the sick, moving

furniture, and working with chil-

dren and young people. (Hopefully

this range of tasks will have pre-

pared me well for ordained minis-

try.)

In April 2012 I was approved for

training for ordination. Since Sep-

tember 2012, I have been at West-

cott House in Cambridge, studying

for an MA as part of my training. I

have been on an extended parish

placement in Manchester, and have

had a regular attachment to a Cam-

bridge parish.

Currently, I am studying at the Ecu-

menical Institute in Bossey, near

Geneva. This is a programme run

by the World Council of Churches

for members of the various Chris-

tian churches across the world to

come together and live, pray and

study together as we seek Christian

unity. I have learnt a great deal

from being in Bossey, though I am

also looking forward to getting back

to the traditions that I know and

love! I will return to Cambridge at

the beginning of this, where I will

finish my course in June.

The year 2014 promises to be a

busy one for me: after my ordina-

tion to the diaconate in June, I will

be married to Donna in September.

She comes from County Durham

and works for John Lewis in their

head office in Victoria.

I am a theologian at heart, with par-

ticular interest in ecumenical and

moral theology. Outside the sphere

of theology, however, I enjoy cook-

ing, listening to music (I am a big

fan of Bruce Springsteen) and cy-

cling, where I use enthusiasm to

compensate for a complete lack of

talent.

I am very much looking forward to

meeting each of you and to begin-

ning my ministry among you.

Please pray for me and for Donna

as we prepare for the major changes

in our lives. I will, of course, be

praying for you.

OUR NEW

CURATE

Sam is looking forward

to joining us in June


AT A STORE checkout, the

young cashier suggested to the

older woman that she should

bring her own shopping bags in

the future because plastic bags

were not good for the environ-

ment.

The woman apologised and ex-

plained, “We didn't have this green

thing back in my earlier days.” The

cashier responded: “That's our prob-

lem today. Your generation did not

care enough to save our environ-

ment for future generations.” She

was right - our generation didn't

have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bot-

tles, jam jars, soft drink bottles and

beer bottles to the shop. The shop

sent them back to the plant to be

washed, sterilized and refilled, so

that the same bottles were used over

and over again. So they were fully

recycled. We refilled writing pens

with ink instead of buying a new

pen and we replaced the blades in

our razors instead of throwing away

the whole razor just because the

blade had become blunt. But she

was right. We didn't have the green

thing back in our day.

Back then, we walked up and down

stairs because we didn't have escala-

tors or lifts. We walked to shops and

didn't climb into 150 horsepower

machines every time we had to

travel two or three streets. But she

was right. We didn't have the green

thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby's

nappies because it didn't occur to us

to throw them away when they be-

came soiled. We dried clothes on a

washing line, not in an energy gob-

bling machine burning up 2,200

watts — wind and solar power

really did dry our clothes. Kids got

hand-me-down clothes. But that

young lady is right. We didn't have

the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV or radio

in the house - not a TV in every

room. In the kitchen, we blended

and stirred by hand because we did-

n't have electric machines to do eve-

rything for us. We used a push

mower that ran on human power.

We exercised by working so we

didn't need to go to a health club or

run on a treadmill that operates on

electricity. But she

is right. We didn't

have the green thing back then.

Back then, we drank water drawn

from a fountain or tap when we

were thirsty, instead of demanding a

plastic bottle flown in from another

country. We accepted that a lot of

food was seasonal and didn't expect

to have out of season products

flown thousands of air miles around

the world. We actually cooked food

that didn't come out of a packet, tin

or plastic wrapping and we even

washed vegetables and chopped

salad. But she was right. We didn't

have the green thing back then.

Back then, people caught a train or

a bus and kids walked, or rode their

bikes to school instead of turning to

their parents in 24-hour taxi service.

We had one socket in a room, not an

entire bank of sockets to power a

dozen appliances and we didn't need

a computerised gadget to receive

signals beamed from satellites 2,000

miles in space to find the nearest

fish shop. But she was right. We

didn't have the green thing back

then.

When you think back, it makes

you wonder whether we are actu-

ally making progress today!

DID YOU make any new year’s

resolutions last month?

If you did, how many have you

broken so far? If you didn’t, it’s

just as well.

For a 2007 study involving 3,000

people showed that 88 per cent of

those who set New Year

resolutions fail, despite the fact

that 52 per cent of the study's

participants were confident of

success at the beginning. Men

achieved their goal 22 per cent

more often when they engaged

in goal setting, (a system where

small measurable goals are being

set; such as a pound a week,

instead of saying “lose weight”),

while women succeeded 10 per

cent more when they made their

goals public and got support from

their friends.

Making resolutions goes back

centuries.

The ancient Babylonians made

promises to their gods at the start

of each year that they would

return borrowed objects and pay

their debts. The Romans began

each year by making promises to

the god Janus, for whom the

month of January is named

In the Medieval era,

the knights took the “peacock

vow” at the end of the Christmas

season to re-affirm their

commitment to chivalry.

There are other religious parallels

to this tradition. During Judaism's

new year, Rosh Hashanah,

through the high holidays and

culminating in Yom Kippur (the

Day of Atonement), one is to

reflect on one's wrongdoings over

the year and both seek and offer

forgiveness.

People may act similarly during

the Christian fasting period

of Lent, though the motive behind

this holiday is more of sacrifice

than of responsibility, in fact the

practice of New Year's resolutions

partially came from the Lenten

sacrifices. The concept, regardless

of creed, is to reflect upon self-

improvement annually.

Quoting Frank Ra, author of a

new year's resolution book A

course in happiness: “Resolutions

are more sustainable when shared,

both in terms of with whom you

share the benefits of your

resolution, and with whom you

share the path of maintaining your

resolution. Peer-support makes a

difference in success rate with

new year's resolutions”.

A serious view on what is,

frankly, not a subject that is taken

seriously when you consider that

aforementioned 88 per cent!

IN APRIL 1911, on the occasion of the Coronation of

the Queen, St Mary’s magazine asked for donations

from the Maries of the British Empire for a gift to Her

Majesty.

The gift was to be limited to those who bore the name of

Mary, Maria, May, Marian or Marion. (This would have

been the Coronation of George V and his wife, Princess

Mary of Teck, who became Queen Mary on June 22).

The June issue noted that on Coronation

Day there would be a celebration of Holy

Communion at 8 o’clock, with another

service at 11 o’clock, when the Special

Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving, com-

mended by the Archbishops, would be

used.

It was also noted that secular festivities

were in the capable hands of the civil au-

thorities!

Meanwhile, in the accounts published in

the May 1911 magazine were some inter-

esting expenses – washing surplices

£1.16s.9d – church cleaner £11.0.0 – sex-

ton’s salary £16.0.0 – organ blower

£2.12s.0d – labour for upkeep of church-

yard £32.8s.0d

School treat In July, it was reported that 55 children

had attended every children’s service dur-

ing the previous six months, while another

55 had missed only one service, and Sep-

tember saw reports of the Sunday school

treat to Sutton-on-Sea, Lincolnshire and a

repeat performance of the fairy play, this

time in the rectory garden.

Moving forward to May 1912, it was re-

ported that electric lighting had been in-

stalled in the church, replacing candles,

but there had been slow progress made

with the building of the new vestries. It

was also reported that at the annual Easter

vestry, the two churchwardens proposed

and seconded that:- the parishioners of

East Barnet, in vestry assembled, strongly

protest against the proposal to dismember

the church by cutting off from the Prov-

ince of Canterbury the four Welsh Dio-

ceses. (Disestablishment was effected in 1920, under the

Welsh Church Act 1914. It kept all its church buildings

including those that dated to before the Reformation.)

VALENTINE’S DAY is coming up

again, which always makes my hus-

band cringe.

He is one of those men who refuse to

give their loved one a present, be-

cause in their opinion Valentine’s

Day is an invention of a bunch of

greedy shopkeepers.

No cards or roses can be expected

coming my way, and no chocolates or

diamonds either. Year after year I see

Valentine’s Day come and go without

a gift, while every woman in the

neighbourhood seems to have re-

ceived fabulous presents from the

man in their lives.

This year I’ll listen to their Valen-

tine’s boastings with a knowing smile

on my face, because I have finally

discovered the truth. Research has

shown that most women lie about

their Valentine’s presents. According

to statistics, your best friend who

smugly boasts about her lovely Val-

entine’s gifts, ranging from silky un-

derwear to a weekend at a posh spa

resort, has probably just received a

card and a limp bunch of carnations

from her boyfriend – if at all.

We girls have to keep up with the

Joneses, don’t we, and what’s wrong

with boasting a tiny bit to make them

jealous? In turn, of course, Miss

Jones will also generously add to her

list of Valentine’s gifts when she

talks about it in the office, and her

work colleague can’t possibly admit

she didn’t even get a card because her

husband thinks Valentine’s Day is an

invention by a bunch of greedy trad-

ers. It’s a vicious circle and only a

truly exceptional gift can catapult you

out. Something really special, so here

are a few ideas:

Give her treats

that she loves Make a gift basket filled with treats

she especially loves. This could be

her favourite sweets, a voucher for a

massage, cinema tickets for two,

some pearly nail varnish, you name

it. These are all wonderful basket

fillers (a woven bread basket is per-

fect for the task), and why not deliver

it yourself to her office or wherever

you’d like her to fall around your

neck in delight?

If your loved one isn’t into sweets, a

Valentine’s fruit basket should do the

trick. Apples, pears, bananas… At-

tach a tag to each fruit with ribbon.

“You are the apple of my eye”. “You

are pear-fect”. “I go bananas for

you!”

Pamper her like a princess. Is she a

waitress, a nurse, a shop assistant?

Someone on her feet all day? Buy her

a foot bath, foot cream and give her a

foot massage. Is she an overworked

mum? Give her a night of relaxation

away from the kids. For instance, buy

her lovely smelling bath crystals,

along with a new thick bath towel,

scrub brush, and a scented candle.

Throw in a CD of her favourite re-

laxation music – I recommend Mi-

chael Bublé (Michael Bublé Bath? -

Ed). Chill a bottle of wine for her.

Fill the tub. Then cook dinner for the

kids.

Are you musical? Write her a song

and she’ll be yours forever. Can’t

carry a tune? Then make her a mix-

tape of songs that remind you of her.

Even if you can’t sing, they can. And

this will woo her far better than you

can when crooning the songs, if you

can’t croon, though she’d probably

still like it anyway.

Not into music? Why not make her a

scrapbook with nice memories about

last year, your first date, your wed-

ding, or the disastrous angling trip

where you fell into the pond? You

could also start each page with “I

love you because…” and then write a

different reason underneath why you

love her so much.

Wake her in the morning with a nice

cup of tea, having replaced the logo

dangling from the tea bag with a self-

made heart shaped one (in red, of

course, and with I LOVE YOU in

bold print).

Another great idea is a home-cooked

meal for the lady of your heart. Here

are three nice and easy recipes from

my Italian cook book. The author is

quite certain that they work a treat

when it comes to matters of the heart.

Results guaranteed!

Zuppa d’amore calabrese

(Calabrian love soup)

1/2l instant vegetable soup, 1 pack of

rice, 3 tblsp grated parmesan cheese,

freshly grated nutmeg, 3 egg yolks, 1

pinch of salt, 1 tsp chopped chives.

Bring soup to the boil. Add rice and

let simmer for about 20 min until the

rice is cooked. In the meantime

whisk the egg yolks in a soup bowl,

and add the grated cheese and the

grated nutmeg. Slightly salt and mix.

As soon as the rice is cooked, add

soup and rice to the mixture, stirring

continuously. Garnish with chopped

chives. Nutmeg is a great aphrodi-

siac, says the author, but don’t

overdo it! Use sparingly and add a

bit, if necessary.

Baci d’angelo (Angel’s kisses)

4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream, 4

cups of strong black coffee, whipped

cream, 40 ml Amaretto or egg li-

queur (Advocaat).

Put ice into two large glasses, add

coffee, and top with whipped cream.

Now pour the alcohol over your crea-

tion.

Casanova

1 egg yolk, 2 tblsp sugar, 40 ml

Brandy, 100 ml port, 100ml milk, 20

ml single cream, 4 ice cubes, nutmeg

(even more aphrodisiac!)

Shake everything in the shaker until

the sugar has dissolved. Pour into

two glasses and add some freshly

grated nutmeg. This is a great drink

for after dinner on the sofa!

Why not make

a meal of it?

IT’S NOT LONG since we cele-

brated the Feast of the Epiph-

any, when our accomplished

story-teller Martin Horton re-

galed us with a rare legend.

We already knew, of course, that

the Bible does not actually state

there were three Magi — mysteri-

ous astronomers from the east —

who were led by a star to visit the

baby Jesus. But their names have

gone down in history as Balthasar,

Melchior and Caspar.

Here’s what Martin told our en-

thralled congregation: “Legend

tells us that there was a fourth wise

man, called Artaban, who travelled

from Persia to meet the other three,

carrying with him his gift for the

new king, three precious jewels: a

sapphire, a ruby and a pearl.

“On his way, Artaban met an old

Jew by the roadside, who was al-

most dying from fever, and he

stayed with the sick man until he

was well.

“The old Jew told Artaban that the

prophets had said that the new

King would be born in Bethlehem.

So Artaban sold his costly sapphire

to raise money for the journey, and

he set out for Bethlehem.

“But when he arrived in Bethle-

hem and made inquiries, he was

told that the other wise men had

left, three days before. A young

mother told him that the family he

was seeking had fled, and that

Bethlehem was in fear of King

Herod.

“While Artaban was with the

mother, the soldiers arrived with

orders to kill all the baby boys.

The young mother was frightened

for her young son and when the

captain of the soldiers ordered the

child to be killed, Artaban came to

the rescue and gave his ruby to the

soldiers to save the boy.

“Artaban searched for the King for

many years, although he only had

one of his gifts left - the pearl.

“Finally, after 30 years of search-

ing, he came to Jerusalem at the

time of the Passover. The city was

buzzing with talk about the man

named Jesus, who claimed to be

the son of God and who was to be

crucified.

“Artaban wondered whether he

could use his last jewel to save the

life of this man, Jesus. But as he

hurried through the streets of the

city Artaban came across a young

girl who was crying. She told

Artaban she was crying because

she was going to be sold into slav-

ery to pay her father’s debts.

“Artaban could not pass by and

leave the girl crying, so he gave

her the pearl, the last of his three

jewels.

“At that moment the city was

rocked by an earthquake and Arta-

ban saw Jesus on the cross. S o

Artaban was never able to worship

his king. And his three precious

gifts had been sold, or given away,

in order to help others during his

long journey.

“Later he met several of Jesus’s

disciples, and was able to talk with

them, and he heard what Christ

had said about faithful servants: ‘ I

tell you this, anything you did

for one of my brothers or sisters,

however humble, you did it for

me.’ “So Artaban had worshiped his

king and served him by using his

gifts to help other people. And this

is still our way of serving God, and

Jesus - by helping, sharing and

being kind to other people who are

in need.”

A super and meaningful little

story, for which we are grate-

ful to Martin.

It illustrates vividly one of the

great tenets of our faith:

HELP OTHERS.

AS I SEE IT By Mike Pearce

FOUR wise men?

This prayer of the Dalai Lama

will help you to help others.

May I become at all times, both

now and forever . . .

A protector for those without

protection

A guide for those who have

lost their way

A place of refuge for those

who lack shelter

A ship for those with oceans

to cross

A bridge for those with

rivers to cross

A sanctuary for those in

danger

A lamp for those without light

A servant to all in need.

Tiarn: First we got on the train –

it was 21 stops. We went to the

IMAX to see King of Penguins.

The screen was as tall as three

double-decker buses. Next we

had lunch and we went in the

Launchpad.

Farah: We went to the Science

Museum; it was so cool. We had

a challenge to find answers to

questions in a book. The best bit

was when we went in the space

bit, it was very interesting. Also

we went to the IMAX. We had

to put on these giant 3D glasses.

The film was okay. It was about

penguins (very funny ones). It

was great fun for all of it.

Rosie: We went to Kaboom! at

the Science Museum in London.

It was extremely fun!! We did a

Time Travelling Scientists Chal-

lenge. We also went for a trip to

the IMAX cinema. We watched

penguins. When we had com-

pleted the Challenge we got a

goody bag and two badges. We

played with lots of things in the

Launchpad. My favourite thing

was the Shadow Trap.

Lucy S: On Saturday we went

to the Science Museum. We

went in the IMAX first and it

was a film about penguins. Then

we did a challenge. The best bit

was the IMAX. It was great fun.

Jessica: We went to the Science

Museum to see stuff that they

had. We first went to see the

IMAX. The elephant seals made

rude noises! We did the Time

Travelling Scientists Challenge.

We completed all of the ques-

tions; they were quite hard and

confusing. We had lunch. We

saw the amazing children’s play

area. It was very fun. I even

made a (free-standing) arch with

my friends and Little Owl.

Ellen: On Saturday morning we

went to the Science Museum.

First we went to the toilet. After

that we went to the IMAX. It

was all about penguins and it

was really funny. The film was

3D and you had to wear a special

pair of 3D glasses. Then we did

the T.T.S.C. When we finished

we went to get our goody bag

and in the bag was a key-ring

with a compass, a spring and lots

of other things. Last of all we

went shopping. I had £5 but all I

bought was a pen and a light up

bouncy ball. Anne Malloy,

Brownie Leader

Kaboom went the Brownies!

A great day out at the

Science Museum

FOR AN EVENT named Kaboom! the Science Museum wel-

comed more than 6,000 girls, members, leaders and volunteers

from London & South East England. The 2nd East Barnet

Brownies were part of that number. Here’s what some of those

girls had to say:

HOLY AND UNHOLY HUMOUR

A MIDDLE-AGED woman had a heart

attack and was taken to hospital. While on

the operating table she had a near death

experience.

Seeing God, she asked “Is my time

up?”

God said, “No, you have another 43 years

to live.”

On recovery, the woman decided to stay in

hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction and a

tummy tuck.

She even had someone come in and change

her hair colour and straighten and polish her

teeth!

Since she had so much more time to live, she

figured she might as well make the most

of it.

After her last operation, she was released

from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way home,

she was run over by a bus and killed.

Arriving again in front of God, she

demanded, “I thought you said I had

another 43 years? Why didn't you

pull me from out of the path of the

bus?”

God replied: “I didn't flipping well recognise

you.!”

Quick

ones Bumper Stickers If all else fails read the

instructions

(The Bible)

Prepare for your FINALS:

Read the Bible

Clara: “My priest is so

good he can talk on any subject

for an hour.”

Sarah: “That's nothing! My

vicar can talk for an hour with-

out a subject!”

At a humanist funeral: Here

lies an atheist, all dressed up

and nowhere to go.

This fool asked God for a bike,

but we know God doesn't work

that way. So the twit stole a bike

and asked for forgiveness.

Going occasionally to church

doesn't make you a Christian

any more than parking every

night in a garage makes you a

car.

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones

are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then you are probably the family dog!

you can start the day without caffeine,

you can relax without alcohol, IF

LATEST NEWS FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL

THE RECTOR reported that

since our last meeting it had

been a very busy few weeks.

He congratulated the eight can-

didates who were confirmed by

the Bishop of St Albans at the

Cathedral on November 2. They

were aged between 13 and over

80! Our All Souls Day service

had again been a moving occa-

sion, shared with Colin Smith

and Brookside Methodist

Church. We had a very success-

ful quiz evening raising funds

for our 1000+ Appeal.

Poignant The Remembrance Sunday Ser-

vice had been held at Brookside

with increased attendance. We

are planning for next year’s ser-

vice, which will, because of the

WWI centenary, be poignant.

The autumn teaching course,

based on heresy, was well at-

tended and provoked discussion.

James was pleased to report that

a new children’s choir was being

established. Ten children drawn

from St Mary’s and Church Hill

schools were rehearsing each

week at Brookside.

The Rector advised the PCC that

the Diocesan Advisory Board

was very supportive of our de-

velopment proposals, as were the

major historic bodies. In the new

year a special committee would

be set up to put together a busi-

ness plan for the new buildings

and renovated church. This is

vital if we are to gain funding

from the Heritage Lottery Fund

and other bodies.

Next June we will be welcoming

a new Assistant Curate, Sam

Korn (see page 4}. Sam and his

wife to be, are very much look-

ing forward to joining us. The

hunt is on to find suitable ac-

commodation for them.

By November 39 people had

responded to our stewardship

campaign .As a result, pledged

giving had increased by £1,660 a

year. There was also a one-off

donation.

Deficit In spite of the generosity of

those members of the congrega-

tion who had increased their giv-

ing the treasurer reported that

church finances continued to run

at a deficit which had to be met

from our ever reducing reserves.

Roger Melling, lay chair

It’s never too late

to be confirmed!


This was a game

that should never

have been played BARNET have been very much

in the news lately. Following our

Number One player/coach, Ed-

gar Davids, seeing a lot of red

(referees’ cards rather than fury

in the dressing room!) he has

announced that he is considering

retiring from playing the game.

Opinion is divided as to whether

all the red cards have been justi-

fied.

What is safe to say, however, is

that the standard of refereeing in

Conference football leaves a lot to

be desired. For example, on New

Year’s Day our match against Lu-

ton continued in atrocious and dan-

gerous conditions, perhaps in part

due to pressure from the television

company screening the match.

February, though a short month, is

a busy one on the road for the lads.

All matches start at 3pm unless

otherwise stated:

Saturday 1st Away to Maccles-

field Town. We lost 1-2 when we

played them at home earlier in the

season. Last year they finished

11th in the Conference, having

been relegated in 2012, and they

are currently mid-table. The Silk-

men play at their Moss Rose sta-

dium, which has a capacity of

about 6000.

Saturday 8th Away to Forest

Green Rovers. This team is based

in Gloucestershire and is currently

the longest serving side in the

Conference. They are currently

mid table. Interesting parallels

with Barnet are that their pitch

used to have a slope, and that they

are playing in a relatively new

5000 capacity stadium opened in

2006. Magno Viera, a former Bee,

now plays for them.

Saturday 15th Home to Tam-

worth. We drew 0-0 when we

played them away. The Lambs

finished in the lower part of the

table last year, and are near the

bottom this season.

Tuesday 18th at 7.45 pm Home to

Grimsby Town. The Mariners are

near the top of the table and we

lost 2-1 when we played them

away, as well as losing when we

played them in the FA Cup this

season, so we have a lot to prove.

They finished near the top of the

table last year and their stadium

has a capacity of 9,500. Sacha

Baron Cohen is among their fa-

mous fans, and Bee loan player

Aswad Thomas now plays for

them.

Saturday 22nd Away to Wrex-

ham. The Dragons are currently

mid table but finished high last

year. We drew 1-1 when we

played them at home. They are the

oldest football club in Wales and

the third oldest professional team

in the world. Their stadium has a

capacity of 11000.

For full details of coaches to away

and home games (including stops

in Barnet) and ways to support the

club, please see the club website.
