Photo of the month

We are heading back to the late 1950s this month and here

are the primary school children with the Maypole. The

Maypole dance has died out in recent years but requiredskill and training as the children circled in different

directions weaving the ribbons until the pole was covered.

This one is at the back of the old school on Fen End. Those

with eagle eyes might spot a young member who is now an

important local councillor!

If you have stories or memories about this picture,

please contact Jon Edney, 31 High Street or

[email protected]

Old Willingham.- May issue

Cecil Gleaves has commented on the May Old Willinghamarticle. He believes the picture (showing girls in a parade)dates from the 19203 rather than the 1930s. He makes the

point that the girls are shown walking south down LongLane. He also points out that the greenhouses extended to

Newington.

The British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO) is the follow

to the BMO Round 1 are sent to pupils who score highly in

the Senior Challenge each November, and are then

qualified to represent the UK at the International

Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).BMO Round 1 lasts three and a half hours and contains

six complex and involved mathematical problems for which

full written solutions are required. Around 100 highachievers in Round One, who are qualified to represent the

UK at the IMO are invited to try Round Two. Luke

received a certificate of distinction in the first round and

was invited to take part in Round Two. This places him

amongst the top 100 or so 16 — 18 year old pupils in the

country and is a spectacular achievement.

Luke will be moving on to Hills Road Sixth Form Collegein September, where the subjects he has chosen to study at

HELP WILLINGHAM

CELEBRATE THE OLYMPICS

A number of the local groups in the Village are hoping to

take part in an Olympic—themed fun day and party on

Saturday 4 August on the Jubilee Field (by the children's

playgrounds).The plan is to have a large TV in the Ploughman Hall

showing the Olympics through the afternoon and evening.Meanwhile, during the day, we will run our own Villagegames on the fields. There will be a bar available and

supporting events such as a barbecue and live music but the

details are still being finalised.

We are looking for local groups to organise a fun/sillygame lasting 30 minutes to an hour. This could be an event

which relates to the club (like a slow bike ride, bowls usingmelons or judo in inflatable sumo suits) or somethingcompletely different (like a 3 legged stilt race or an egg and

spoon race with spade and a rugby ball). Finals could be

held later in the afternoon and we would have medal

ceremonies for the first 3 places.We would like to encourage as many Villagers as possible

to come and take part. We are aiming to make this a free

event so the more people who can give us half an hour of

their time for an all—day fun day, the better!

We will be holding a Grand Summer Draw on the day of

the event with some very good prizes. We hope to get a

holiday, a dinner for two and some other big prizes. Moneyfrom this draw will be used to fund the day and we hopethat lots of you will buy (and sell) tickets.

Our aim is to create our own fun Village event, where we

can all get together and chat, have a drink and have fun. If

you would like to help make this a special day, especially if

you or your friends° can run a 30-60 minute game/race/event

° are in a band or music group' can provide entertainment (magic, juggling, street

theatre, dance, etc.)° have any other great ideas

then please contact one of us.

New Youth Centre for WillinghamIt's coming soon! A brand new youth centre, purpose built

for the youth of our village. It may have taken a while but

after the survey of the village in 2008 when 128'teenagersreturned the questionnaire, the overwhelming request was

for a youth centre. Following that, Willingham Action

Group was set up to begin the response to the questionnaireand then Willingham Youth Trust grew out of that,becoming a charity in 2010. Since then a youth club has

been running in the Baptist church hall on George Street on

Wednesday evenings with two trained youth workers. Over

the last eighteen months a wide range of activities has been

on offer. There is an X-box 360 and a 40 inch TV, table

tennis, snooker, table football, computers with a range of

games, crafts and cookery. The club runs during term time

and it is hoped that soon a second evening session can begin.

HELP NEEDED The dream is that the new youth centre,

on the West Fen End of the Ploughman Hall, will be

finished by the end of the year. It will be on two floors with

a kitchen downstairs. If this is to happen help is needed.

£28,000 is held by the Parish Council for the purpose of

building a youth centre which has to be match funded. The

plans for the work have been passed by the County Council

and are now going out for tenders from local builders but

we need to raise about £35,000 for the building work to be

done. Can you or your business help with a donation? We

also need to strengthen our team of trustees. We need

Neighbourhood Watch for

Willingham

Neighbourhood Watch is being set up in Willingham,with the full support of the Parish Council.

Mike Tidball has agreed to be the Village Co-ordinator, and

has already started to work in that role. One of his earlytasks will be to recruit street co—ordinators (ideally for

every road).In Swavesey, which has had a Neighbourhood Watch

scheme for three years, a number of young parents have

signed up as street co-ordinators. Introducing the scheme in

Swavesey has had a major influence on reducing crime

rates. Given the current crime level in Willingham, there is

clearly a strong case for having the scheme here.

Neighbourhood Watch works very closely with the

police.Mike Tidball writer.

'It is horrible to be a victim of crime but also horrible to live

in fear of becoming a Victim of crime with many of the

older generation feeling particularly vulnerable. Crime

rates are higher in cities, where most people are strangers to

each other, because criminals can remain anonymous.Evidence suggests that offenders will avoid areas where

they will be more noticed and this is the strength of a

Neighbourhood Watch scheme.

Policing has changed recently so that the police now work

more closely with local communities, but even more can be

achieved if the communities work with the police. Our

local station at Histon now has 24 hour cover of this area.

We all wish to live so that our families and propertyremain safe. Being .involved in Neighbourhood Watch

simply means being a little more observant and reportingthings that seem suspicious. Members also receive regularinformation updates from the police.'

Pastoral Letter

60 years is a long time by anyone's reckoning, but to be a

reigning monarch for that long is remarkable. The country

is ready to celebrate, in fact much of the rest of the world is

ready to join us in celebrating. The Queen has become

something of an ambassador and is welcomed in grand

style wherever she goes.

There is a previous good example of a monarch who

commanded general respect. King David achieved great

fame 3000 years ago by being a great military leader who

brought stability to the nation of Israel and extended their

borders to become a great empire. A thousand years later

one born of his lineage came to be king of the whole world.

Jesus was not a military leader. He was not entertained byinternational nobility. He was not even recognised by his

own people. Yet he was God's choice to bring freedom and

liberty to the whole human race.

JUBILEE

In the time of the Old Testament, Jubilee was the fiftieth

year. In that year all debts were cancelled and slaves were

set free. It was a time that many looked forward to (except,

perhaps the rich!). It was truly a time for freedom and

celebration. When God sent Jesus to be the king for the

whole world it was to bring about that sense ofjubilee — a

time for everyone to know real freedom and release fromdebt. This was not the financial debt that many people are

in, but the debt brought about by our selfishness,dishonesty and general wrong doing. There has to be a

punishment for any wrong doing if there is to be justice.

Jesus was the one who took the punishment for all of us, not

a normal royal privilege, so that we could be free from the

punishment that would come our way eventually. Many

of our nation follow the Queen with great admiration and

respect.Jesus is worthy of much greater honour and respect.

In celebrating the jubilee of our Queen we can also

celebrate the jubilee brought in by the King of kings.

Bank Holidays (Spring and Diamond Jubilee) Just a

reminder that our surgeries and pharmacy will be closed on

Monday 4June and Tuesday 5 June.Cover will be provided by our local Out of Hours

Service UCC on 0330 123 9131

You will be offered telephone advice and an appointment to

see a doctor at the Chesterton Medical Centre or a visit if

appropriate. There is free parking at the Medical Centre

and all the doctors are local GPs. Our surgery receives an

electronic medical report for your records so that our

doctors are up to date with any medical problems you have

whilst the surgery is closed. This locally organised out of

hours service is used by all the Cambridgeshire GP

surgeries and is the correct and best way to access medical

care outside surgery hours.

NHS Direct on 0845 4647 is also useful if you just want

some telephone advice.

Use of NHS Services outside surgery hours Please can

we ask you not to attend the A & E Departments of our

local hospitals unless you have a life threatening condition

or you think you may need an X—ray. Our emergencyservices are over-stretched and there will undoubtedly be a

long wait to see a doctor. Inappropriate use of A & E can

adversely affect the ability of the service to deal with

genuine emergency cases.

Pharmacy news Patients on repeat medication can benefit

from a Medicines Use Review in the Pharmacy. This is a

free NHS service which helps you to get the best results

from your medication. If you would like more information

on how and when to take your medicines for maximum

therapeutic effect, please ask for an appointment at the

Pharmacy, or ring 01954 261787 to arrange a time. If the

pharmacy is not too busy, Neil, our pharmacist, may be able

to offer this service without a pre—arranged appointment,but he may ask you to pop back at another time.

Acknowledgements We would like to extend our thanks to

the families and friends who kindly made donations to the

Surgery Equipment Fund in memory of both Joyce Smith

and Donald Peacock.

Equipment We intend to purchase a new sigmoidoscope.We will then be able to offer a sigmoidoscopy service at

both Willingham and Longstanton surgeries which means

that our patients do not have to travel to hospital.We would also like to thank Arnold and Patricia Cooperwho have donated a new wheelchair to the surgery to

replace the rather ageing one we currently have at

Willingham Surgery to transport patients to and from the

car park when needed.

ETHIOPIA BULLETIN number 4

When I return I definitely will expect you all to hand shake

as they do in Ethiopia! I heard that there were worries about

shaking hands at the Olympics and catching germs or

something; how silly! There may be nasty diseases around

the world but I have not known such rules as here for hand-

washing and care over contact with hands. We have had to

learn the protocol for meeting and greeting. When meetingfor the first time, a firm —

very firm — right hand shake is

good, but hold your elbow with the left hand if showingrespect while doing so. If you have just washed your hands

and they are wet, or you know your hands are not clean, youoffer the back of your right wrist to touch instead. If you

are meeting a good friend then you touch right shoulders

while shaking hands...I just love this one, it is so friendlyand happy, and really good mates touch shoulders twice.

Ethiopians wouldn't dream of having a drink or eatinganything without washing their hands properly first - so justremember that next time you reach for the biscuit at yourcoffee break!

Two volunteers in the area are VSO and the others are

from US Peace Corps while some pass through Visiting each

other so that adds to the people I see here in general. All are

good company and it is relaxing being able to talk freelywithout being careful how I say things, or having to speakslowly. Somehow we gather once a week for an earlyevening meal and I meet my other Education VSO personhere mid—week just to talk about schools and office

grumbles and frustrations.

I tend to visit schools in the mornings and avoid leavingat the same time as they walk home for their lunch; I getfollowed by crowds like the Pied Piper. When one fierce

Principal didn't get the full obedient response to go home

without me, he saw them off with a few rocks then went to

wash his hands! A typical school has a large walled, gatedcompound with some trees for shade and a football pitchmarked out with stones and rough goal posts. Don't worry,where there are newly planted areas they are secured with

lots of barbed wire. Outside the school walls are the ladies

selling nuts, carrots or berries by the handful. Inside there

are long huts for classrooms that can house 50 or so children—

oops, all are called students here. Near the main buildingwill be the special flag pole area. The huts have really wide

roofs for shade and protection in the rainy season and on the

outside walls there will be huge accurate diagrams for

geography, all imaginable biology and the periodic table,

painted in bright colours. Where there are younger students

the words may be in English but otherwise it is all in

Tigrinya. Teachers can be recognised by their white lab—

coats, and they carry their chalk, board duster, text books

and often their rubber tube (whip) with them — which theyhide as soon as they see me. Classrooms have very narrow

wooden benches that seat 2 — 3 students, a blackboard and

in the younger classes hand—made posters of numbers,

vocabulary and the like. In most schools about a third will

be orphans from HIV/Aids families and it is where the

proportion is higher there is more bad behaviour. School

Principals are up against poor funding and supporting these

students when they do not have much themselves. Freshlypainted classrooms, exercise books, uniforms for orphans,new equipment and pens

— they all use biros all the time —

are usually funded by parents in their community. The

Ethiopian government pays schools a tiny annual amount

per student; equal to the price of a small packet of crisps in

England. So when I go into schools I watch lessons and am

looking to see how I can help the teachers be more creative

in their lessons with what they have got and what they have

to teach. I then work with Principals and area Supervisorsand the teachers to encourage and help them with their

lessons and teaching resources so the students learn better,which in turn hopefully will help their results and

behaviour improve as well. Only I had trouble in one lesson

concentrating; a noisy pigeon was feeding its young chicks

in a nest in the blackboard!

The most impressive thing I see and I try to attend

regularly, are the flag ceremonies. It is a sort of assemblywhich lasts about 20 minutes and is held half an hour before

daily lessons begin at 8 00 am. All students must be in the

compound lined up ready in their year groups for

discussions, student readings, HIV/Aids talks and so on. I

have been handed the loud hailer without warning a coupleof times to address the 1,650 students eyes fixed on me, the

forenji. I can't remember what I said, but once I had to

repeat it all — apparently my speech was too short! Then at

the end the Ethiopian flag is raised with precision timingwhile everyone stands to attention, properly spaced in

straight lines, hand on heart, singing with great respect their

national anthem. It is just tremendous and starts the day so

well.

If anyone feels that they own a suitable site and are willingto consider selling the land then please do contact the

Parish Council office. We will run out of space in the

existing cemetery quite soon and desperately want to be

able to find a location in the village or very close to it that

has easy access.

There has been a good deal of maintenance work in the

cemetery with trees being trimmed and ivy removed from

headstones. The excess soil will be removed shortly and re-

used at the Jubilee Field. Problems with the entrances are

being looked at and hopefiilly we can find ways to make

access easier. The age and design of the current gates and

pillars makes the problems not easy or cheap to solve. We

are aware of a problem with a nest of bees — local expertsare being consulted.

Ploughman Hall and the Pavilion

Improvements to the car parking area in front of the

Ploughman Hall are imminent. Tenders have gone out for

the work to provide more parking and a better surface. The

conversion of part of the Ploughman Hall to house a

permanent youth facility has also gone out to tender but

Willingham Youth Trust are finding it hard to obtain grant

support and at the moment it is not clear when this work

will take place. We will keep you updated.The kitchen in the sports pavilion has been refurbished to

comply fully with food preparation regulations and to

provide a better facility for users and Visitors.

Tourist Centre

By the time this newsletter hits your doormat or certainlyshortly after there will be a new map on the Green. It is

primarily there for visitors to our Village of whom we get a

surprisingly large number. You do not tend to think of

Willingham as a tourist centre but it has some very

interesting old buildings including the parish church, some

beautiful walks and some great towns and cities very close.

It is possible to get to St Ives, Cambridge or Ely keeping to

paths and byways with some stunning walks along the rivers.

If you have not tried it then a trip on the guided bus from

Longstanton Park and Ride is well worth taking. Transit

time to St Ives is about ten minutes through lovelycountryside.

Village Facilities

The council is committed to continually improving villageamenities and, working together with Willingham Action

Group, is looking to increase trees on the Jubilee Field and

install additional seating and picnic areas. Other ideas

include a skate/scooter park, an outdoor gym, an outdoor

table tennis table, an overhaul of the under-fives play area

and more adventurous equipment for the older children. It

will take time and money to achieve any of these objectives.The council is working with Willingham Primary School on

the ideas and would welcome input from the wider

community on what they would like to see.

After the closure of the bank, building society and petrolsales a number of parishioners asked if there is more that

the Parish Council can do to help retain facilities like these

in the Village. Sadly the answer is no. Whilst we can and do

work hard with our District and County colleagues on

issues like the library there is very little we can do to

influence commercial business decisions. The answer is in

the hands of all of us who live here. Use them or lose them.

If the business is viable it will stay but if not it will go. So

please do support local firms. They are a vital part of our

community.

Page 17: willinghamlife.orgwillinghamlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/WN_2012_06JUN_PS.pdf«W COMMUNITY MAGAZINE '4 AWARDS 2010 mgr. mecymm": 4 V Cowylzpy at I/Vzillm'élmm Recreation Ground

As is usual at this time of year, this month's report is a

summary of the one I gave to the Annual Parish Meeting.The past twelve months have been very busy ones in this

division. It started with the campaign to keep the

Willingham library open. While the County Council has

agreed that no libraries will shut, savings still have to be

made and as a result the library opening hours have been

reduced. Greater reliance will be placed on volunteers and

I am very grateful that Willingham has such a strong and

proactive Friends group.Last August the guided busway finally opened — typically

while I was away on holiday. It has proved highly successful,but the issue of connectivity remains very challenging. I

have had a number of discussions with Stagecoach to try to

see whether the Citi 5 service can be improved and they did

at least consult on a new timetable. However, the proposalwas a poorer service than is currently provided and not one

I was able to support. Stagecoach have finally announced

revised changes to take place from June. It will give an

hourly service, running clockwise and anti—clockwise, so

will be very confusing. The one bonus is that the new

service will call into the Park and Ride in Longstanton. To

try to improve local public transport, I am working with the

clerks in Willingham, Over, Swavesey and Longstantonparishes, along with county officers to see whether we can

develop a community transport scheme based around the

Over Day Centre. It will, of course, also require the supportof the Day Centre, so a solution is still some way off.

Northstowe has finally been resurrected after some three

years of inactivity on the part of the developers. I sit on the

Joint Development Control Committee which will

determine the planning application later this year. Without

wishing to prejudice my position, there are clearly many

transport related issues which will need to be resolved.

On the subject of transport, I have been working hard

with the Parish Council to try to solve the problems on the

31050. They fall into three areas:

How it will cope with Northstowe

The problem of heavy lorries, particularly at nightThe bank

It is unfortunate that different parts of the organisationdeal with these issues and trying to get them to join up and

see the big picture has proved hugely difficult. Cllr

Manning and I met the Executive Director, Alex Plant, who

does have overall responsibility, to see whether we could

agree a way forward. I remain totally committed to a bypassfor the village. The meeting was far more positive than I

expected. There is still a very long way to go, but I think

that there is now some understanding that joining up the

three issues might be the right solution.

I would like to say a word about my position with regardto allowances. The County Council, like all other

authorities, is required to conduct a review of its

allowances every four years. In Cambridgeshire's case, that

JOTTINGS FROM YOUR COUNTY COUNCILLOR

review was already overdue and a panel was convened last

summer to consider the level of allowances and make

recommendations. It was a very thorough review, takingaccount of workload, the size of the authority and

comparisons with other authorities of a similar size. It

concluded that our allowances were seriously out of line.

However, the panel was incorrectly constituted and its

recommendations therefore invalid, so in February this yeara new panel met to consider the same issue. It completed its

work in just four weeks and its conclusions seemed to be

based wholly on the results of a survey of residents. One of

its recommendations was that councillors should be paid to

attend Parish Council meetings. When the scheme was

voted on, I abstained because of this recommendation, not

because I don't think that members should be paid to attend

Parish Council meetings (although I have to say that most

of my work is done outside the monthly meetings) but

because it is not possible to check that members have

attended without a great deal of additional work, both for

democratic services at Shire Hall, and potentially also for

clerks. It leaves councillors open to accusations of fraud,which I am not happy about. It was for this reason only that

I abstained, not because I did not agree with their other

recommendations.

Finally, until its abolition, I remain a member of

Cambridgeshire Police Authority. During the past twelve

months we have been supporting the Constabulary as it

seeks to make considerable savings to its budget. It has done

this in two ways: first, by collaboration with Bedfordshire

and Hertfordshire, which will deliver some £20m of

savings over the next four years, but provide a more resilient

organisation; and secondly by redesigning local policingbased on District Council boundaries. It retains the

commitment to local policing, at the same time as reducingthe number of senior staff, of which the force had too

many.I would like to thank the chairman and all members of

the Parish Council for their support during the past twelve

months.

WILLINGHAM WALKERS -

Letter to the EditorJUNE WALK .

Dear Editor

We will be driving to Longstanton to get the guided bus to

Histon. From there we follow Gun's Lane/Rampton Drift to

the outskirts of Rampton then turn South via ReynoldsDrove to Longstanton and finally follow the path along the

edge of the golf course back to pick the cars up. This is a

new route for us and a chance to see some of the

countryside before it becomes Northstowe! It is a short

walk, less than five miles with some nice views. You could

also choose to walk along the Busway to Histon which

would make it about 7.5 miles.

Meet at the Duke of Wellington at 9 50 am prompt or at

the Longstanton Park 8: Ride at 10 00 am to get the

10 13 am bus on Sunday 10June 10.

In keeping with Caroline Hay's letter last month, I wonder

if it is a matter of arrogance, ignorance or whatever — When

people addressed snub the other person? But has it alwaysbeen so?

I recall a friend who had just moved to Hemingford Greyin the 1990s. On her way to the Post Office, she murmured

a 'Good Morning' to those she passed until an elderly well—

dressed woman confronted her with 'Do I know you?' To

which my friend replied, 'No, but where I come from we

were taught to greet one another!'

Moving on — into the past— the book group I belong to is

currently reading Sirlerr of Sinai by Janet Soskice. In the

18803 the two Scottish sisters were in Cairo, lately placedunder British Rule and staying in the prestigiousShepheard's Hotel. Agnes noticed that the British were

often disliked or even hated by the natives. She put it down,in part, to bad manners. She cited the instance of two

English families who sat opposite them at the table d'hote of

Shepheard's . Over seven weeks, for three hours a day, 'these

people faced us, and never once said good—morning, nor

acknowledged our presence by a civil bow'. Of course, theyhad had no formal introduction, but a nod would not have

been out of place, since all were in a foreign land. Instead

they 'gaze on the unintroduced world with a simple stony,British stare'

Yours

Liz Kinnear
