From Father Ian
I
love Christmas and, to be honest, watched a Christmas film just this past week, the second week in November. A voice somewhere in the depths of my conscience was murmuring something about it being 'far too early' but it made a very nice change from Brexit and Trump. A bit of Christmas spirit has helped to restore my usually cheerful mood. Beneath the layers of commercialism, and I suppose the reason why Christmas is, for most, a joyful time, is because there is something at the centre of it which is real. God's love for us, so great, caused him to send his Son Jesus to live among us, to experience the world as a human being, to experience the good and the bad. The celebration of this reality has gathered around it traditions rooted in love: family and friends get together, presents are exchanged, people give to charities especially for those with a particular care for the homeless and the starving. There are many things in the air that make for happiness. We know that there will be some for whom this will be a difficult time, and we must hold them close in our hearts
Page 3
and prayers. But we should not feel guilty about happiness and joy because Jesus' birth among us needs to be celebrated, shared and understood.

This new church's year we are being encouraged to get to know and understand our bibles and, thereby, understand our faith with more clarity. We shall be running some bible studies on Wednesday evenings and, in the next couple of weeks, a separate leaflet, with the dates and topics, will be available. Do come along, bringing your bibles, your questions, and the realities of your life. The child of Bethlehem will help to open your eyes to God's hopes for the world. Hoping to see you at some of our Christmas services! Many blessings to you and your family,
From the Churchwardens of Boxgrove The churchwardens would like to thank everyone for their help and support in 2016 and wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas. Sue and David

WE MADE IT!
As you know we have been aiming to raise ÂŁ250,000. A massive thank you to those of you that have contributed in any way to bringing the current total to marginally under the target figure. The balance will be in the bank by the time the Bugle is printed. Work on the Church Lane wall started on 7 November. The photograph alongside shows the state of play as at Monday 13th. The wall has been taken down and the flints are cleaned and saved. Blockwork will be completed by mid December at the latest and then there will be a break until the end of winter as flints cannot be laid while there is frost around; it destroys the mortar bond unless it has set and dried, the latter being difficult in winter. The aisle roof work will begin in late spring 2017 when the bat nesting period is over. While our recent bat survey suggested there were no bats in the aisle roof voids nevertheless we are not allowed to start while there is the chance of bat activity as they are a protected species. Once work starts it will be undertaken on the North and South roofs and there will be scaffolding successively on both sides of the church to the east of the two transepts. Finally and most significantly of all the work on the porch entrance to the church will start in the new year. A short travel lift will be installed and the entry steps will be rotated through 45 degrees. It will make access so much easier for all. Work will be completed before Easter provided the lead time is /continued ...
Page 5
not compromised by any delays in lift manufacture. During the working period it is likely that the north transept door will be used for weekday access and the main porch door will be used at weekends. To enable that a suitable access will be constructed each weekend across the working area. So, the work has begun. It would not have been possible with contributions from many people and Trusts and to all those generous contributors a heartfelt thank you from Fr Ian, the PCC and everyone who uses the Priory. RGC

PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM
On Friday 21st October, after prayers in the Priory, 13 of us set off on pilgrimage to Walsingham in Norfolk. The weather was fine and even the traffic was kind to us. We stopped for coffee and lunch but thanks to our driver, Darren, we arrived at Walsingham by midafternoon, a little earlier than anticipated. The staff at Walsingham were, as usual, both speedy and efficient and we were quickly given room keys. Our early arrival meant that we had time to settle in before we met up for a brief talk by Fr. Ian. This was followed by our “First Visit� to the shrine. For two of our pilgrims this was literally a first time in Walsingham and a first glimpse of the interior of the Shrine church. At 5, we joined other weekend pilgrims for Mass in the Holy House after which it was time for supper in the large bright modern refectory. The rest of the evening was largely a social affair with lots of chat. On Saturday morning after breakfast Father Bryan said Mass and we then took the customary trip to the Slipper Chapel where Howard White led prayers. This is a very
small building which, as the name suggests was where pilgrims in the past took off their footwear and walked barefoot along the road to the Abbey Shrine. The Chapel now forms part of the Roman Catholic National Shrine which includes a very large modern building with a most beautiful etched glass window forming a reredos to the altar. On Saturday evening, pilgrims from around the country joined together in a candle-lit procession of Our Lady with several hundred pilgrims holding candles weaving around the grounds in the darkness and creating a river of light. After breakfast on a fine Sunday morning Father Ian led us in following the Stations of the Cross around the grounds. We then joined other pilgrims at the Parish church for their Sunday Mass at which Father Ian and many other clergy concelebrated. After a roast beef lunch pilgrims gathered together for the afternoon liturgies including sprinkling at the well in The Shrine. This was followed by an outdoor procession of the Blessed Sacrament and then Benediction. /continued ...
Page 7
After our final prayers we joined our coach for the journey home arriving back at Boxgrove at around 9.45. For those of us who have been to Walsingham before, it never ceases to be an uplifting experience. For new pilgrim Lorraine it was
“calming and rewarding” and Marion found it “amazing - can’t wait to go again”. A new booking has been made for the weekend of 29th September/ 1st October 2017. DJ

BOXGROVE C.E.P SCHOOL HALL PROJECT
Page 9
As a result of the children's recent sponsored walk/run earlier this month we have now raised £5,672.19 towards our new hall. With a business plan in place, many parents are kindly writing to various organisations and educational trusts to ask for contributions and our county councillor is also on board to support us in our quest for a useable school hall to be used for PE, lunchtimes, PTFA meetings etc. Events are also pencilled in the diary for next year to help us raise funds.

Anyone for Pheasant?
● 4 plump pheasant breasts ● 4 large rashers smoked bacon ● 17fl oz dry cider ● 6 medium shallots ● knob of butter ● 1 tsp caster sugar ● 1oz plain flour ● Salt and pepper to taste Method 1. Preheat the oven to 200C 2. Butter the pheasant breasts and then wrap in the bacon. Place in an ovenproof dish (so that they aren't too cramped together) and then pop in the oven for 25 minutes. 3. After 25 minutes reduce the oven temperature to 170C, pour 8 fl oz of the cider over the pheasant breasts, cover with a lid and return to the oven for another 60 minutes. 4. Pour the remaining cider into a saucepan and reduce by about half.
5. Thinly slice the shallots and cook very slowly in a little butter until soft. Then add the caster sugar and continue to cook until lightly caramelised. Remove from the heat until ready to finish the sauce. 6. Check the pheasant breasts during the cooking time to ensure that they do not dry out and add more cider if necessary. 7. For the sauce, add the flour to the shallots, place the pan back on a gentle heat and mix together. You may need to add a little more butter at this stage. Now add the cider reduction and the crème fraîche and cook together over a low heat until the sauce starts to thicken. 8. Once ready slice each breast and place on the plate. Pour the sauce over the meat and serve.

Join in with Christingle in the Priory on 4 December at 4.00pm Christingle celebrations have been taking place all over the country for the past 47 years. In that time, Christingle has grown to become an incredibly popular event, embraced by people from all areas of society. Our Christingle service celebrations include songs and prayers as well as a collection to help support The Children’s Society, so that they can keep working with some of the country’s most disadvantaged children. The highlight of the Christingle celebrations involves the lighting of the Christingle candles under dimmed lights - a moment filled with awe and wonder for children and adults alike. Christingles are also a great way to teach children the story of the gospel and its significance to Christians.

THE FRIENDS OF BOXGROVE PRIORY “It is a magical church full of echoes of French influence along the Sussex coast. Its crossing is a mystery of light and dark and the great chancel is alive with Tudor roses and heraldry. The De La Warr chantry contains beautiful early French motifs from a Book of Hours. These must be some of the best renaissance carvings in any English church. They make Boxgrove very special.” Sir Simon Jenkins Becoming a Friend means that you will receive a regular Newsletter and information on events including: Concerts · Lectures and outings · Annual celebration service Social events · Guided tours Secretary: The Secretary, Friends of Boxgrove Priory, c/o Cowslip Cottage, Dairy Lane, Maudlin, Chichester PO18 0PE +44 (0)1243 539836 Registered Charity Nº: 1104062

SANTA’S LAMENT
Page 15
‘Enough is enough,’ muttered Santa Claus (otherwise known, in polite society, as Saint Nicholas) as he approached The Presence in the Great Hall of Heaven. ‘I’ve had it up to here! That’s what I’ll tell Him. For centuries I’ve dashed round the World delivering presents to all those children. I’ve climbed down all those chimneys, racing against time to get presents to ungrateful children by the 25 th December. It’s got to stop.’ ‘What’s the matter, my dear Nicholas?’ said the kind but firm voice of HHH (Holy, Holy, Holy – that is.) ‘Why are you so full of anger? Has Otto been neglecting you?’ Santa began to feel his confidence fade away, like snow melting in the sunlight, and his knees began to tremble. He should have drunk another glass of his special brew which Otto, his chief dwarf, had prepared for him. ‘I’m sorry, your Holiness,’ he stammered, ‘I’m tired and old, and it’s that time of the year again, and I haven’t got enough presents and the reindeer are all on strike and say they want to be pensioned off to somewhere warm. And today’s children are so demanding. They are greedy and disrespectful and jeer at all the footballs and toy train sets. I want to resign, you Holiness. I want to go quietly to one of my shrines where I can greet pilgrims and tell them what Christmas is really about. I was a famous saint, once upon a time. Now I am a third rate purveyor of unwanted presents. I am fed up to my back teeth, as they say out in the World.’ ‘My, My, Nicholas,’ said The Voice. ‘I’ve never seen you like this, before. This is a real lament you have confronted me with. Straight from the heart. What would you like me to do?’ Nicholas crept forward towards The Voice. No-one had ever seen HHH but many knew his voice. ‘Dear Nicholas, don’t be afraid. We’ve known each other for how long? Over a thousand years, I think’. ‘Yes, indeed. Once you let me help people who were in any sort of need, sailors, young girls, merchants, physicians, not just these rude spoilt brats I /continued ...
Page 16
have to attend to every year. My poor reindeer …’ ‘Ah yes, let’s start with the reindeer. We could mechanise them, you know. We won’t expect them to pull your sleigh over those Arctic snows, and freezing seas. We could put an engine into you sleigh, a supersonic one. You could just curl up under those fur rugs and, in the twinkling of an eye, you would zoom round the world.’ ‘Sounds good, your Holiness,’ said Santa, brightening up. ‘The reindeer will be redundant and I will find then somewhere nice to live. Make it a super, super engine, your Holiness, like those racing cars we see on television.’ ‘Hmm, I don’t have time to watch television, Nicholas, but I’ll get my inventors on to it. Don’t worry about it. Now, what else?’ ‘The presents,’ said Santa, beginning to jump up and down with excitement. ‘They’re so stupid, so out of date. No-one wants them. Except the Lego, everyone likes Lego, but the Elves say it’s too expensive.’ ‘What would children really like?’ said HHH. Santa thought for a moment. ‘Mobile phones. That’s what they all want. The really upto-date ones that can do everything.’ ‘That’s no problem. The inventors always come up with good ideas. They want phones that tell the time ….’ ‘And show films and TV programmes and play all the music they like and do their homework for them and read them bedtime stories.’ ‘I’ll get on to it, Nicholas. Now, cheer up. We can’t have you gloomy.’ ‘But I’ll still have to go down those horrible chimneys.’ ‘Not any more. I can give you some brand new robots who will load up the presents and drop them down the chimneys for you. You won’t have to do a thing.’ ‘Robots, of course! How clever you are, your Holiness. You could, of course, have a robot Santa. Then I could retire, too. I say, I could become Saint Nicholas again and visit all those churches dedicated to me.’ ‘We could have lots of robot Santas, but, you know, I think the children would rather prefer you. And think of all those fathers and uncles and grand/continued ...
Page 17
fathers who love dressing up like you,’ said The Voice. ‘We won’t tell them. I can pretend to be still coming down their chimneys. After all, most people are asleep when I do my work.’ ‘Isn’t that a bit deceitful, Nicholas?’ Was that a faint chuckle which Santa heard? ‘Let’s be realistic, you Holiness. I am a very old man and deserve to put my feet up. Robots are not only very useful but can be most appealing if the manufacturers do their job properly.’ ‘Are you saying that my inventions are not up to standard?’ That chuckle again! ‘Sorry, you Holiness. I didn’t mean to doubt your competence.’ ‘I should hope not, Nicholas. We have always trusted one another, haven’t we? But, another thought, children will still want to write letters to you, and I don’t think my team of inventors, however excellent they are, would be able to design robots which can write personal letters.’ ‘I don’t see why not. I can dictate letters to my personal robot.’ ‘And put Otto out of work? And all your elves? After all, robots are excellent at household tasks and loading up sacks in you warehouse.’ ‘Problems, you Holiness. Maybe I’ll stick around a bit longer.’ ‘Good idea, Santa. Now you look more cheerful and I’ve got some work to do. You’d better go off and warn Otto about the robots.’ ‘Otto will be all right. We must adapt to changing times, you Holiness.’ ‘I never change, Nicholas. I am Alpha and Omega, you know.’ Was there a slight note of disapproval creeping in to HHH’s voice. If so, time to go, thought Santa. ‘Of course you are, your Holiness,’ said Santa backing away towards the door of the Great Hall. ‘You are the Ancient of Days, Immortal and Invisible …’ ‘Enough, Nicholas. Flattery doesn’t suit you. But I am glad you have stopped lamenting. I look forward to seeing my new Nicholas, looked after by my heavenly robots.’ As Santa left The Presence, he heard that chuckle again, but this time a bit louder. Almost a guffaw! IW

At our October meeting, three members of the Committee stood down, one of whom was Annie Green, our long serving Treasurer. Our new Treasurer, Sandra Spinner from Bognor Regis, was joined by two new Committee members, Frances Thompson and Pauline O'Hare, who moved into Boxgrove only recently. Chris Potter remains as President and Sandy Bannister as Secretary. It was reported that yet again we have enjoyed a very full and happy year, with four new members joining. Our November meeting took place on 9th November with a presentation by Heather Hook, An Alaskan Adventure Meeting Grizzly Bears, an amazing talk accompanied by some brilliant photographs. She was able to get quite close to a bear with three cubs. Sandra Spinner gave a Financial Update, including a report of our recent Literary Lunch, which had been such a resounding success. Author Graham Minette gave a
very amusing resume of how he, a retired teacher, got into novel writing. He added how much he had enjoyed visiting Boxgrove: he even helped put the chairs away afterwards!! We were pleased to welcome Yvonne Price, our County Chairwoman, to this event. Our future plans include our Christmas Lunch at the Anglesey Arms, our local hostelry (eighteen members are attending this event), a Speakers Interviewing Day at Oving and a Spring Event on 14th May in the St Blaise Centre. The November meeting was our 97th Birthday and we had CAKE!!!! At the next meeting, on 14th December, Gill Dipple and Annie Green are providing appetisers: we shall eat what they make! With a party tea and CAKE!!! New members are always welcome: contact Chris Potter, 01243 527312. Come and give us a try - we're very friendly! Chris Potter, Nov 2016
