Fourth to share their latest art is Polly Thornely (Paulette Nixon) After retiring from teaching and moving to Cublington, I started painting. I joined the Weedon Art group and have been on a couple of painting holidays in Italy.

I started painting using watercolours and am now experimenting with acrylics. There is always something new to learn. The countryside around the village is inspirational and I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful spot!

Editorial

400th edition of The Cublington Crier

Every year when it gets to this time, when the evenings are getting cooler and the nights are drawing in, we tend to say to ourselves ‘where has the year gone?’. However this year that question is even more pertinent as we mourn the loss of holidays, days out and the usual summer festivities. It would be very easy to think of 2020 as a lost or wasted year but this really isn’t the case, it has been a different year but I think it is good to remind ourselves of all the good that has come with 2020.

For Jason and I the year started with particular significance as within the first couple of weeks we celebrated our wedding and we were lucky enough to share our day with many friends from the village (for all those people who thought January was an odd time to get married it turned out to be a stroke of genius, or so I keep telling Jason!). Then in quick succession we added to the Taylor household in the form of Wally and Winnie, the two Cockerpoo puppies. These were pretty monumental events for us however as we go in to the Autumn months I find myself thinking of the more subtle things that have happened this year. There has been time to stop and breathe as things like the daily commute have been taken out of life. Weekends became time to spend at home and enjoy the garden and even DIY. The joy of cooking and sourcing local food came into focus as our dining out choices were limited. Friendships in the village became an even more central source of happiness when travel was out of the question. Living in Cublington I became very aware of just how lucky we are to have the countryside on our doorstep and the community spirit that has remained throughout challenging times.

As we go in to the final part of 2020 it is still tinged with sadness that things like traffic light soup at the Harvest Festival Auction will not feature, things like that are what make Cublington such a wonderful quirky place. That said, I will cherish memories of this year as we sit in our very tidy garden, enjoying the last few days of Summer with the puppies at our feet. In his poem October,Robert Frost talks about the disconcerting approach of Winter but the real essence of the poem is the narrators mind being troubled with the passage of time and realising the value of appreciating all moments in life. This is something I will raise an Autumnal glass of mulled wine to.

NEXT COPY DEADLINE

is 15th October

Available at www.issuu.com

Our 400th edition! When The Crier first started in 1984, it was distinctly a cut and paste affair, with a red box dropped off at the guest editors doorstep every month with copious supplies of glue sticks!

These days we are much more streamlined and everything including the printing is handled digitally and remotely, so in theory I could be sunning myself on a beach somewhere while writing this.

I’m not, as I wouldn’t want to quarantine for fourteen days on my return. Had enough of that thanks.

Stay safe and hope you enjoy this edition.

Congratulations To Carrie and Lee Martindale on the birth of baby girl ‘Orla’ on 16th September. Proud grandad Alan in for a few sleepless nights methinks!

Also congratulations to Gary and Rhianna Thompson (nee Newport) - ex of Ridings Way on the birth by C-section of son Rory at 8lb 12oz!

Did the earth move for you?!

Twice in two weeks an earthquake was felt in Cublington! How bonkers is 2020 turning out to be. People describe the event as like a car crashing into the side of their house.

Sadly, I missed both! The first time I was in Guildford, the second on the golf course. Never mind, there might be another in about 250 years!

October

BY ROBERT FROST Robert Frost was a famed American poet of the early 20 th century. Winning four Pulitzer Prizes, he was a contemporary of Ezra Pound, Robert Graves and Rupert Brookes. In his poem October he hopes and wishes for time to pass by very gradually so he can fully enjoy the weather and take advantage of it before he dies.

He urges his readers to also live and appreciate every moment of their lives to the fullest and never take anything for granted.

A very apt sentiment in current times.

O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow.

Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know.

Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away.

Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst.

Slow, slow!

For the grapes’ sake, if they were all, Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost— For the grapes’ sake along the wall.

Remember...

Remember that if you are hesitant in going into shops or perhaps can’t get out, Colin Antosiewicz will take your post to the local post office. Give him a call if you need help.

an idea for halloween An idea has come to us from the folks in Buckingham town. Seeing as it is unlikely parents will want you to hand out sweets to their children knocking on your door during the Covid pandemic, how about if you put a pumkin face on your doorstep, then the mum’s give their own children a sweet instead. No missing out on the fun, but also, more importantly, no possible virus transmission. Problem sorted.

Fiction

Non-Fiction

Jane, Unlimited

On the Map

by Kristin Cashore

by Simon Garfield

A completely wild book, like a cross between Rashomon and Fighting Fantasy! The blurb calls it ‘genre-obliterating’, which sounds about right to me.

Raised by her eccentric Aunt, Jane was always told that if anyone ever invited her to the mysterious island mansion called Tu Reviens, she must go. Now her Aunt has gone missing, and her friend Kiran has an invitation for her: an extravagant gala, at Tu Reviens...

Comics for Teens

This is a riveting history of maps, cartography, and what the way we chart the world can tell us about ourselves.

Covers everything from Vikings discovering America to the advent of Google Maps.

I listened to the audiobook version of this in the car , and the narration was excellent, although I did have to look up what some of the maps look like later!

Picture Books

Heartstopper

Extra Yarn

by Alice Oseman

by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen

A sweet, soft, romantic comic about the developing relationship between two teenage boys: Nick and Charlie. This is the first of three volumes released so far, with another due out next year. (14+)

A cosy little book for young kids, about a generous girl with a magical, never-ending basket of wool, who knits jumpers and scarves for everyone in her town.

Cublington’s Advent Windows look set to be a major focus of our Christmas celebrations. We want to have AS MANY WINDOWS lit and decorated, starting from 1st December, and hope that we can have 2 themes running side-by-side, of the Nativity story and Santa’s Reindeer.

The Vales on farming in the Vale As you read this Michaelmas will have just passed.

Michaelmas falls on the 29th September and is the autumn Quarter day. The four Quarter days: Lady Day, Midsummer, Michaelmas and Christmas as well as being religious festivals are the dates where historically servants were hired and rents were due and leases began. Traditionally it marks the end of harvest and the beginning of a new farming year.

Gill asked us to write about what happens over a year on our farm and this date seems a sensible place to start. Unfortunately it also marks one of the busiest times of the year for us and hence this brief introduction.

For those who have not met us we are one of several farms in the parish of Cublington. My parents Hugh and Honor live at the farm situated just outside the village on Whitchurch road which was relocated in 1985 from Ridings Way. I live in one of the old redundant farm buildings at the bottom of Ridings Way. We are currently predominately an arable farm which means we grow crops rather than rear livestock. I will discuss what we grow and why in a future article.

We grow Winter sown and Spring sown crops and as you read this you will have seen the fields around the village changing colour as the land is tilled and being planted. Hopefully the weather will be kinder than last autumn when the ground was too saturated to plant for much of the autumn. If you see us out and about and have a question we’re always happy to chat but please make sure we have noticed you as visibility is restricted on many machines.

Stay safe, George

Orchard Ground & North Field News & items of interest

• Martyn Waters reports about the latest grants The application to the Heart of Bucks Green Communities fund has now been submitted, this is for the community orchard on North Field. The application is for £2,500, the maximum amount under the Green Communities scheme. This grant is ‘matched funded,’ so OG will need to raise £1,000 to put with their grant of £2,500, so giving a ’spend’ total of £3,500 for around 40 trees. For the purposes of this grant scheme, all trees have to be UK sourced and have biosecurity certificates. Following the appeal in the Crier we’ve had £469 in donations towards the ‘matched’ funds of £1,000. Several other people have spoken to me about making a donation and I will follow these up. Costs for fruit trees are as follows: cooking apples £48; eating apples£40; cider apples £45 (Cublington Scrumpy?), pears £58; plums £58; filbert and cob nuts £45.; these trees will be 3 years old.

Tesco - Bags of Help: max grant £500. Confirmation has been received today that OG has been granted £500 from their Bags of Help scheme. This is to help cover the OG cleaning costs, materials etc for a period of 6 months. The grant will be paid directly into the OG bank account in the next 10 days or so. A brief evaluation report will need to be written up in 6 months time.

Heart of Bucks: Green Communities Fund £2,500: OGs expression of interest for a grant of £2,500 for North Field has been accepted, we now need to put a full grant application together by 16th September. Liz has kindly offered to help prepare a budget, research costs etc. This will be for the community orchard and some feature trees for North Field. The management accounts prepared by Liz helped in the expression of interest as their original response was that OG has enough money to proceed without a grant. This grant is ‘matched funded’ as OG will need to raise £1,000 to put with their grant of £2,500. I’ve written an article for the Crier asking for donations for fruit trees/ feature trees etc. Several people have already spoken to me offering financial support. please ask around your networks too. We can price fruit trees or feature trees that people might request. The trees we purchase with this grant will need to have UK biosecurity certificates and be from designated suppliers. Charlie Toosey has a list of names, contact details of people who have previously expressed some interest in buying a tree, donating some money; these contacts now need to be followed up to help ensure we can meet the£1,000 requirement of matched funding for this grant scheme.

The Tree Council: Branching Out Fund £1,500: OGs expression of interest for a grant of £1,500 has been approved and we have been asked to submit a full grant application. This grant is also for the community orchard and feature trees for North Field.

The end of the month will see the celebration of Halloween. These days we associate Halloween with ‘trick or treat’, pumpkins and dressing up however it is actually an ancient holiday with traditions steeped in religion. Here is a brief summary of the history of Halloween with some little known facts: Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2020 will occur on Saturday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jacko-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.

When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

Did you know? One quarter of all the candy sold annually in the U.S. is purchased for Halloween.

By 43 A.D., the Roman Empire had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the 400 years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.

The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of bobbing for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

Ancient Origins of Halloween Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.

Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people

All Saints' Day On May 13, 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome in honor of all Christian martyrs, and the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established in the Western church.

By the 9th century, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands, where it gradually blended with and supplanted older Celtic rites. In 1000 A.D., the church made November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead. It’s widely believed today that the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, churchsanctioned holiday.

All Souls’ Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. The All Saints’ Day celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, began to be called All-Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.

Halloween Comes to America The celebration of Halloween was extremely limited in colonial New England because of the rigid Protestant belief systems there. Halloween was much more common in Maryland and the southern colonies.

As the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups and the American Indians meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebrations included “play parties,” which were public events held to celebrate the harvest. Neighbors would share stories of the dead, tell each other’s fortunes, dance and sing.

Did you know? More people, especially millennials, are buying costumes for their pets. Twenty percent did so in 2018, up from 16 percent in 2017.

Colonial Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-making of all kinds. By the middle of the 19th century, annual autumn festivities were common, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere in the country.

to celebrate the day. Parties focused on games, foods of the season and festive costumes.

Parents were encouraged by newspapers and community leaders to take anything “frightening” or “grotesque” out of Halloween celebrations. Because of these efforts, Halloween lost most of its superstitious and religious overtones by the beginning of the twentieth century.

Halloween Parties By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular but community-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide Halloween parties as the featured entertainment. Despite the best efforts of many schools and communities, vandalism began to plague some celebrations in many communities during this time.

By the 1950s, town leaders had successfully limited vandalism and Halloween had evolved into a holiday directed mainly at the young. Due to the high numbers of young children during the fifties baby boom, parties moved from town civic centers into the classroom or home, where they could be more easily accommodated.

Between 1920 and 1950, the centuries-old practice of trickor-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire community to share the Halloween celebration. In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by providing the neighborhood children with small treats.

Thus, a new American tradition was born, and it has continued to grow. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commercial holiday after Christmas.

Halloween Movies

History of Trick-or-Treating

Speaking of commercial success, scary Halloween movies have a long history of being box office hits. Classic Halloween movies include the “Halloween” franchise, based on the 1978 original film directed by John Carpenter and starring Donald Pleasance, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tony Moran. In “Halloween,” a young boy named Michael Myers murders his 17-year-old sister and is committed to jail, only to escape as a teen on Halloween night and seek out his old home, and a new target.

Borrowing from European traditions, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today’s “trick-ortreat” tradition. Young women believed that on Halloween they could divine the name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings or mirrors.

Considered a classic horror film down to its spooky soundtrack, it inspired 11 other films in the franchise and other “slasher films” like “Scream,” “Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Friday the 13.” More family-friendly Halloween movies include “Hocus Pocus,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Beetlejuice” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mould Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighborly get-togethers than about ghosts, pranks and witchcraft. At the turn of the century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way

All Souls Day and Soul Cakes

In the second half of the 19th century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish fleeing the Irish Potato Famine, helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally.

The American Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating probably dates back to the early All Souls’ Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for

food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family’s dead relatives.

The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as “going a-souling,” was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food and money.

The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and, for the many people afraid of the dark, the short days of winter were full of constant worry.

On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.

On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.

Black Cats and Ghosts Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It began as a Celtic end-ofsummer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. For these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.

Today’s Halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. We avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck.

This idea has its roots in the Middle Ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into black cats.

We try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. This superstition may have come from the ancient Egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred (it also may have

something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe). And around Halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.

Halloween Matchmaking and Lesser-Known Rituals But what about the Halloween traditions and beliefs that today’s trick-or-treaters have forgotten all about? Many of these obsolete rituals focused on the future instead of the past and the living instead of the dead.

In particular, many had to do with helping young women identify their future husbands and reassuring them that they would someday—with luck, by next Halloween—be married. In 18th-century Ireland, a matchmaking cook might bury a ring in her mashed potatoes on Halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it.

In Scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. The nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding, the story went, represented the girl’s future husband. (In some versions of this legend, the opposite was true: The nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.)

Another tale had it that if a young woman ate a sugary concoction made out of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on Halloween night she would dream about her future husband.

Young women tossed apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands’ initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands’ faces.

Other rituals were more competitive. At some Halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry. At others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle.

Of course, whether we’re asking for romantic advice or trying to avoid seven years of bad luck, each one of these Halloween superstitions relies on the goodwill of the very same “spirits” whose presence the early Celts felt so keenly.

Church Update - October From Howard Robson, the new Rector Hello Everyone, We are drawing near to harvest time and each of the Team churches will be celebrating that. Harvest is where we speak of all we have been given and for the Christian that comes from God’s ordering of His Creation.

In our modern 24/7 world, many feel we have lost touch with the cycle of the seasons. Whilst that may well be true, my guess is that our forebears would see it as a small price to pay for no longer having to worry over whether the food stocks would last the winter. But that serves merely to emphasise how important it is to celebrate the harvest; celebrating harvest is the corrective to remind us of our dependency on nature and for the Christian, our dependency on God’s provision.

God is not somewhere above the clouds or confined to a theology of sterile control. Rather, God is in the world and we are partners with Him – a practical outworking of what it means for us to be made in God’s image.

The fruit of the harvest calls us to reflect on the “fruit” of our own life. In his letter to the Galatian Church, Paul calls this the fruit of the spirit. God works through his whole Creation which includes you and me and He throws out fruit.

The big question is do we want to receive it?

There are many opportunities for the life of church and community to mutually inform, uphold and yes, sometimes challenge one another and thus develop and grow. I hope that this harvest time we can reflect that we are given so much and reflect also on the fruit of our own living.

With every blessing, Howard 01296 688593.

RE: THE NEW TRACK & TRACE APP WE ARE ALL BEING ASKED TO DOWNLOAD. Now it’s all very well having the app on your phone, as when you go to the Unicorn or any other establishment, you will be asked to download it and clock into their location. Very useful for tracking you and contacting you should someone who tests positive come near. So far so good.

But there is surely a fundamental problem with the system. If I, being careful and negative, go in for half an hour on Tuesday lunchtime, sit alone and leave, I could still be asked to isolate for 14 days if someone who comes in that evening, later tests positive! I haven’t been anywhere near that person, nor had any close contact. Does that make any sense? Not as I imagined the technology would work I have to say!

Coronavirus is contagious. Please avoid physical contact (2 m distance). Wash your hands regularly. Items collected for you will be left on your doorstep.

The new location app is an intriguingly simple idea. You may have seen ads for it on the television. Every 3 metre square in the world now has a three word address. 57 trillion 3 metre squares.What Three Words already exists in 14 different languages.

The idea for what3words came from the music industry. When bands, musicians and roadies kept getting lost trying to find gigs and festivals, musician Chris Sheldrick(CEO) knew there had to be a better way to talk about locations. He spoke to mathemetician friends and they came up with this unique idea. GPS was too complicated and many places in the world such as the Brazilian flavellas had no address system at all. In fact 75% of the world doesn’t have an adequate address system. What Three Words solves that.

Already the UN is using it to pinpoint precisely where aid needs to be delivered. Numerous countries have adopted it for their national postal system. In the future you will speak three words to you car navigation system and it will take you to a precise location. You can send a 3 word address to someone even if they haven’t downloaded the app. They will be able to access what3words via their computer, tablet or smartphone browser.

Out of interest, the following words relate to places in Cublington.

I opted for the front door where I could and some of them make interesting/amusing reading.

I had no idea where we were. The police found us using what3words Darren, runner ‘I’m enjoying using what3words to save the amazing places I find, and to share precise starting points for trails with friends. Every runner or walker should have it’

Why do I need what3words when I have Google Maps? what3words isn’t a navigation app like Google Maps. It’s a global addressing system that makes it really simple to communicate exact locations. You can use what3words alongside Google Maps to navigate to precise destinations, and to save and share exact locations faster and more easily than ever before.

Google Maps doesn’t make it easy to share a location in the middle of, say, Hyde Park to organise a meeting point, and usually isn’t helpful if you want to navigate directly to a specific building entrance. This is because when entering a street address into Google Maps, a pin typically drops in the centre of a building or postcode, rather than an exact entrance.

In addition, dropping a pin on to Google Maps isn’t useful if you’d like to revisit or share that location weeks after you see it, if you need to share it with someone over a phone call, or enter it into an address field. what3words is a really quick and simple way to find, share and save exact locations. The system converts GPS coordinates into 3 word addresses. For our own website and apps, we usually use Google Maps, which means that during a street address search on what3words, Google will point you to where it lies on its map.

Although you can’t yet enter a 3 word address directly into Google Maps, you can find a 3 word address on the what3words app or website and navigate there via Google Maps.

3. Declaration of Interest and Coopting new councillor There were no Declaration of interests .

Cllr Vale proposed Martyn Waters be coopted as a councillor which was unanimously agreed by the meeting.

4. Public Comment A member of the public made a statement to the meeting concerning agenda item 8.1 Horse Signs. The person had distributed a map of the surrounding area highlighting all location of liveries and stables and felt that signs warning motorists of horse activity was essential to avoid serious accidents.

5. Horse signs agenda item 8.1 CPC had contacted Bucks Council concerning horse signs to determine the costs, and it is awaiting a response. Cllr Glover had contacted the local transport officer who stated a report needs to be completed by the traffic management team which would have to be commissioned by CPC and/or the local Community Board . CPC will review the position once the cost of the report had been received. Parish Councils do not have discretion over road signs.

Buckinghamshire libraries reopen for book borrowing in person All 29 libraries in Buckinghamshire are now open again for book borrowing in person. The first libraries reopened on 6 July, when government restrictions were lifted, and the very last one, Iver Heath Community Library, opened this week. Covid safety measures are in place in all of them. At busy times people might have to queue. Anyone who still has books out on loan since March, and there are still over 3,000 people who have, are asked to return them to their library before 30 September, as this is when the fines amnesty will come to an end. Information about the opening times of your local library can be found at: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/libraries Improvements to roads and pavements This year we’re spending over £28m on repairing and improving our roads, particularly after the very wet weather last autumn, which did so much more damage to them. This is the biggest amount we have ever spent. This will still not restore all our roads to the state that many residents reasonably expect. Some roads will be completely resurfaced, some repaired by targeting the sections which have failed (this is called ‘plane and patch’ in the jargon). Resurfacing teams have been out and about laying new surfaces and doing repairs to roads across the county. Teams will also be improving and repairing sections of pavements. Remember to report road or pavement problems via Fix My Street. Do always be proactive as you can’t assume someone else has already let us know.

Cycling and walking During lockdown one of the most positive features was the absence of traffic and the ability to walk and cycle safely along most roads. This was fantastic for families, sales of cycles boomed, and more people enjoyed the fresh air. The government has tried to keep some of this going by funding the temporary trials of ‘Quietways’. The guidance was to get these into use quickly, whilst areas were still quiet and consult afterwards.

A number of schemes have been trialled in different areas of the county. Whilst some have been popular, in other areas they have been unpopular and seen as an imposition. This is not the way we want to be seen to operate and I have asked that existing schemes are reviewed, and any new trial schemes must have the support of local councillors. For any permanent schemes we would, of course, fully consult local residents.

The new NHS COVID-19 app: The new NHS COVID-19 app will launch on Thursday 24 September. Downloading this app means you’ll be able to tell if you’ve been in close contact with any other user who’s tested positive for coronavirus. You will also be able to report symptoms, book a test and use the app to book into venues you visit, like pubs and restaurants, using a QR code.

Importantly, you can use the app anonymously. Nobody, including the government, will know who, or where, a particular user is. The app is designed to track the virus, not the user.

In Buckinghamshire, our recent localised outbreaks have been amongst groups of young people, so I would like to especially appeal to people of this age and their parents. I’m proud that

our younger population in Buckinghamshire is mature and responsible but there is a minority who have not followed the social distancing guidance, and I really want to appeal to you to act responsibly and to follow the rules.

We’re recognising our heroes While unfortunately, the pandemic is far from over, we still want to take time to recognise the people in our communities who’ve gone above and beyond these last few months. You can nominate either a person or organisation in our ‘Proud of Bucks’ awards, sponsored by the Clare Foundation.

Corona Virus The situation in Buckinghamshire: Cases of coronavirus are rising across the UK as a whole, and that’s what’s beginning to happen here in Buckinghamshire too.

However, I do want to stress that at the moment, we are still in a better position here than in some other parts of the country.

The infection rate can vary from week to week and we have seen the number of weekly cases in Buckinghamshire increase from 8.5 to 12.7 per 100,000 people in the space of a fortnight. The very latest figures for Buckinghamshire suggest the rates have risen even further in recent days, to about 14.4 cases per 100,000 people. So, although there have been recent reports in the newspapers saying the Buckinghamshire rates have dropped, the overall trend is that in fact, cases are increasing here.

Accounts 7.1 To approve payments since last meeting The following invoices were passed for payment since the last meeting: 9-Jul-20 Zurich Insurance £1,475.16 20-Jul-20 Autela Payroll £67.44 25-Jul-20 Clerk Salary £151.13 29-Jul-20 Unicorn Pub £650.00 rental 20-Aug-20 PKF £240.00 audit fee 20-Aug-20 Mainly Mowing £470.00 25-Aug-20 Clerk Salary £151.13 13-Jul-20 e-on £120.91 17-Aug-20 e-on £128.97 7.2 To review accounts to 31st August 2020 and forecast to 31st March 2021 There was a surplus to 31st August 2020 of £3,196.28 and an estimated deficit of £407.72 to 31st March 2021.

This is after allowing for legal fees of £2,000 relating to granting Orchard Ground charity a lease, playground maintenance of £850 and North Field Planning costs of £1,500. No allowance had been made relating to traffic calming , dog waste bins or road signage report .

8. Orchard Ground Report/ Charity Status and North Field Orchard Ground : Covid protocols have been implemented by all club users of OG. Cublington Cricket Club secured a grant from the English Cricket Board of £3,000 which will go towards the costs of repairing the outfield. The cost estimate is £4,200. The PC had to renew its commitment to CCC for it to use the field as requested by the ECB. Further to the grants previously reported, Hearts of Bucks Foundation had accepted the outline bid of £2,500 with match funding of £1,000. Cllr Waters has raised £470 in donations from residents towards the £1,000 required. The Tree Council grant of £1,500 had been approved which will be used to buys trees for North Field.

Cllr Waters is meeting with the chairman and treasurer of OG to go through the financial forecast for the current and forthcoming year. The grants secured to date show OG in a healthy financial position but the future income stream looks very weak. It is unlikely CCC will be playing league cricket until 2022.

Charity Status/North Field Lawyers have been instructed to draft a lease for OG charity (yet to be formed). The lawyers have been asked if it is possible for the PC to retain ownership of the building and assets so that VAT can be claimed in the future on assets acquired.

10. Village Matters Agenda item 8.1 Traffic Calming: Quiet Lanes In progress.

Option 1 A from the feasibility report prepared by Transport for Bucks Wing and District Community Board (replacing Local Area Forum) had put forward our proposal for traffic calming with matched funding from CPC . The matching cost will be £3,723 , and it was agreed to proceed with this proposal.

Speed watch The Speed watch equipment can be used but with restrictions due to Covid 19 compliance. Cllr Morgan is actively trying to use the equipment in order that CPC can apply for signs at the entrances to the village stating it is was a speed watch area.

Agenda item 8.2 Street Lighting: No issues. No annual maintenance agreement had been issued by the current supplier. Cllr Morgan to check out the position. It was suggested to replace one old light with a new LED one.

Agenda item 8.3 HGV Traffic/Lockharts Farm .

The recycling site had been reported to the enforcement officer for three contraventions of its planning permission and operator’s licence : number of vehicle movements exceeding 12 in and 12 out per day, the installation of a concrete crusher and the problem of odour.

The Environmental Agency had been contacted concern the odour problem. The Enforcement Officer has requested a record of waste transfer movements from the company Bulk Transfer Limited which operates the site. Bucks Council understand that Bulk Transfer Limited has engaged a planning agent , who will seek to review the current operation in line with the extant planning permission. There was no update yet from the Environmental Agency nor the point concerning the use of the concrete crusher from the Enforcement Officer.

Agenda item 8.4 Playground and maintenance Wicksteed (suppliers of the playground equipment) had been contacted concerning maintenance work. They requested a detailed work schedule. Cllr Vale and Mr Joy will prepare a schedule and obtain a quote from Wicksteed.

Agenda item 8.6 Dog Waste Bucks Council have been contacted concerning a new dog waste bin, and we are awaiting a response.

Agenda item 8.6 Trees Cllr Reilly was concerned about the condition of trees in Reads Lane. In high winds there is a risk to members of the public

using the lane and the properties on it. It was also noted that hedges needed to be cut. It was agreed Cllr Reilly would speak to the relevant people responsible for the trees and hedges in Reads Lane .

Resignation Cllr Morgan notified the meeting he will resign at the end of the calendar year. The Chairman thanked Cllr Morgan for his hard work, and he had been a great asset to the parish council .

The next meeting of the Parish Council will take place

on Tuesday 10th November 2020 at 7.30pm venue to be advised.

The Annual General Meeting will be held when appropriate .

This is to make sure you are all aware that Ride+Stride is definitely going ahead on th 2020 RideSaturday and Stride12 event in aid of Bucks Historic Churches Trust.

s is an appeal toThe Church and Clergy12th to ensure that Rideand + Stride is on dayWardens was on Saturday September the participants from Cublington took part either PCC agenda and in the conversation. Please ensure that your Parish Ride + on foot, horseback bicycles.

The eventThe wasemail obviously different this year as Covid rules de Organiser informs us ifon there has been or anyon change in their details. communicationsand and restrictions updates is: did not make the full opening of all churches or the sale of refreshments pos-

sible. Most churches visited had at least opened their porches and provided therefore a place of ridestride@bucks-historic-churches.org brief shelter had the weather turned autumnal. Thankfully we were lucky enough to have a sunny warm day so travelling through our wonderful local countryside was an absolute joy.

re’s a chance to make a difference in a year when church income is right down d our church buildings are like suffering.

I would to thank everyone who so generously sponsored the participants from Cublington

and a total of ÂŁ410.00 was raised for the Trust.

Hopefully next year we could attract a few more participants as it is a great way to spend a few hours PHOTO taking in the views, exercising and calling in to visit our many historic local churches.

Bats

During recent building works at our house, we had occasion the remove and replace an alarm box on the side of the house. Inside we found a roosting bat! Many frantic phone calls ensued to the Bat Conservation Trust and we were advised to gently replace the old box and all would be well. While talking to them I asked about bat boxes and this is what they sent me. If anyone wants this information as a pdf, please let me know and I can send it to you!. Gary (Ed)

Bat Box Information

Bats are amazing animals that are important to ecosystems in the UK and worldwide. We have 18 species of bat in the UK, all of which are protected under European law. Bat populations in the UK have declined dramatically over the past century due to persecution and habitat loss. However, some UK bat species have recently shown some signs of increasing so there is hope.

Bat boxes are artificial roosts designed to provide bats with alternative resting places or to encourage bats into areas where there are few existing suitable roost sites.

There are various designs of bat box; wooden boxes that you can make yourself, ready-assembled external boxes for buildings and trees, and even integrated bat boxes that can be built into walls.

Providing bat boxes can increase opportunities for roosting bats but it can take a while for bat boxes to be used regularly, particularly where a number of suitable alternative roost sites exist. Bat boxes can have an important additional function in encouraging interest and educating members of the public about bat conservation. The correct design and placement of boxes will help increase the likelihood of their uptake by bats.

Bat roost preferences

Bat boxes are now available from many outlets, and in a range of shapes and sizes, so some knowledge of what bat species are in your local area and their preferences will help you choose the best possible box. Some species such as horseshoe bats and grey long-eared bats do not use bat boxes.

Microclimate within a new roost is a very important factor in terms of increasing the chance of successful uptake by bats. In general, they prefer warm spaces in the summer for rearing young and cooler spaces in the winter for hibernation. The box should be draught proof and made from a thermally stable material such as untreated wood, ecostyrocrete, woodcrete, brick or stone.

If possible, it’s better to provide several internal chambers so that the bats can move around.

Orientation and location

Structures for summer roosting should be positioned where they are sheltered from the wind but unshaded for most of the day. Summer maternity roosts (in the northern hemisphere) should be on a south-easterly to south-westerly aspect. It is always best to provide a number of different options for bats so that they can choose the most appropriate temperature based on their needs. This can be achieved by grouping a number of bat

boxes each with a different aspect; two or three boxes is preferable to one, although a single box still has a chance of being used depending on the bat species that use the local area. Three boxes can be arranged around the trunk of larger trees – see below for details about putting up bat boxes.

Bat boxes are more likely to succeed in areas where there is a good mixture of foraging habitat, including trees, and a source of water (most maternity roosts are located within a short distance of permanent fresh water such as a stream, pond, river or lake). Bat boxes in areas with few other roosting opportunities are also likely to be more successful.

Bat boxes should also be located close to unlit linear features, such as lines of trees or hedgerows. Bat species use these features for navigation between their roosting sites and feeding grounds and to avoid flying in open and exposed areas. Ensure the bats approach to the box is not impeded, for example by branches – clear away underneath the box so the bats can land easily before crawling up into the box.

Size of the bat box

The most frequently used bat boxes are small and only suitable for crevice-dwelling bat species.

Access Crevice dwelling bats crawl into their roosts via small gaps around 15-20mm high. Roughened vertical surfaces or landing areas allow better access (by landing and crawling), although horizontal landing perches should be avoided as these are not necessary, may even deter bats and encourage birds to nest within the bat box.

Other considerations Bats are nocturnal and adapted to low light conditions. Artificial light sources should not be directed onto bat boxes or flight paths as most bat species find artificial lighting very disturbing.

If possible, make or purchase bat boxes with an entrance slit along the bottom so that accumulated bat waste can drop out of the box or be pushed out as bats emerge. This will also help stop birds nesting in the box and blocking the entrance, which can happen with bat boxes that have entrance holes in the middle.

Boxes that may accumulate bat droppings will also need to be cleaned regularly by a licensed bat worker.

It is important to remember that bat boxes must not be opened by anyone except a licensed bat worker (see ‘monitoring bat boxes’ below for more details on licences). In addition, nesting birds must not be disturbed so leave the area immediately upon finding an active nest in a box, and there is the potential for dormice to be found in some woodland boxes, in which case the box

must only be checked by a licensed ecologist.

Types of bat boxes

Bat boxes come in many forms depending on their materials, function and location. Simple bat boxes are available commercially or can even be home-made.

Bat boxes can be divided into the following categories: self-made external bat boxes, ready-made external bat boxes, integrated bat boxes and free standing bat boxes.

Advanced forms of artificial roost creation include bat houses, bat barns and internal bat lofts (if you are interested in these please refer to the websites and publications listed at the end of this document).

Self-made external bat boxes Self-made wooden bat boxes are usually located on trees or the outside walls of buildings. These boxes are usually cubic or rectangular, with a grooved ‘bat ladder’ and a narrow entrance slit at the bottom. These will last for approximately ten years and can either be bought in kit form, or you can make your own from scratch (there are instructions for the ‘The Kent bat box’ pictured below at the end of this document – these boxes are also available commercially).

Putting up bat boxes

Most bat species will use higher positioned boxes (around 4m up); assess the risk of working at height when undertaking the installation, then place the box as high as it is safe to do so. This will also help protect bats from vandalism and falling prey to cats. If working in the public realm, try to locate boxes so they are not above public walkways.

Ensure the boxes are appropriately fitted, to avoid the risk of them falling off. The boxes should be checked at least annually and after high winds to ensure they are still securely in place.

On buildings Place the boxes high up by the eaves on a building, which can also help shelter the box from the weather. As detailed above, the aspect of the box should capture sun for part of the day if the intention is to attract maternity colonies.

Gazebos, garden walls and sheds have been suggested as sites for bat boxes. However, the main danger is that the boxes are not high enough above the ground, the structures may not be robust enough to support the box in high winds and the boxes are too visible to predators or vandals.

On trees Consideration should be given to tree growth and boxes may need rehanging over time, regularly check boxes

to assess this. Use headless or domed nails not fully hammered home to allow the tree growth, again regular checks will ensure that this allowance can be made while still being securely fitted. Iron nails can be used on trees with no commercial value. Copper nails can be used on conifers, but aluminium alloy nails are less likely to damage saws and chipping machinery.

Monitoring bat boxes

Making and putting up bat boxes is a great conservation action but what is even more useful is to know whether they are being used, when and by which species.

How long before bats will use the box?

Sometimes it can take several years for bats to find a new box. Be patient! Slow (or no) uptake may be due to the availability of other roosts locally. Sometimes, however, bats move in within months or even weeks!

How will I know if the box has been successful?

To check if the box is being used, look out for droppings and urine-staining on the vertical ‘bat ladder’ below the box and listen for ‘chattering’ during the day, especially during the summer months. You can also watch the box for an hour either side of sunset to observe any bats leaving to feed, or around dawn to see any bats returning to their roost. Bats may be observed by looking up into the box from below, however no light should be used as this may disturbany bats that are present.

Licensing and the law

You can undertake the non-invasive checks above without needing a licence. However, if the box needs to be opened to check it then there must be a suitably licensed bat worker present. Anyone wishing to undertake bat box checks should obtain training in bat handling and identification before applying for a licence.

You can find out more about licensing and bats on our website at: www.bats.org.uk/pages/licensing.html All bats and their roosts are protected by law and it is an offence to deliberately disturb, handle or kill bats.

The relevant legislation in England & Wales is the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations 2017. In Scotland it is the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations 1994 and in Northern Ireland the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995.

A bed without breakfast?

Bats often use features such as hedgerows, tree lines and watercourses as commuting pathways between roosts and foraging areas. This type of habitat also provides shelter, allowing insects to gather and therefore supports foraging bats. The highest densities of bats occur where insects are most plentiful.

Make sure you maintain or create good foraging habitats for bats by planting a wide range of plants such as flowers that vary not only in colour and fragrance, but also in shape. See BCT’s ‘Encouraging Bats’ leaflet for more information (www.bats.org.uk\publications).

Appendix: The Kent bat box (D.I.Y. instructions) Design and measurements Simple to construct, self-cleaning and low maintenance, the Kent bat box (designed by the Kent Bat Group) is a great way to encourage bats in your garden or your green space. The box should be rainproof and draught-free.

The only critical measurement is the width of the crevices: between 15-25mm. Other measurements are approximate.

Timber should be approximately 20mm thick.

Measurements for one Kent bat box kit would be as follows: Part

Roof (A) Back (B) Centre (C) Front (D) Centre Rails (E) Front Rails (F) Stand-offs (optional)

Quantity 1 1 1 1 2 2 2

Size (mm)

250 x 160 x 20 450 x 200 x 20 330 x 200 x 20 210 x 200 x 20 330 x 20 x 20 210 x 15 x 15 200 x 20 x 20

Material and Tools This kit requires approximately 1.6m of rough wood and 25 screws (8 x 1 ½ inches) to assemble. You can rough it up by scraping with a suitable tool – possibly a saw blade or even a screwdriver but make sure you use untreated wood as some preservative chemicals can kill bats.

Pre-drill the holes to prevent the wood splitting. Alternatively you can assemble your bat box kit with nails although they tend to be less robust than boxes made with screws.

The hanging screws may either be at the edges of the front panel or in the side centre block (not in the rails!). Fixing may be by use of brackets, durable nylon cord or wires.

When installing the box, assess the risks of working at height, use the appropriate fittings and assess where the box will be located, in relation to any public access. Regular checks should be made to ensure the box remains securely fitted, especially after high winds.

Martina collects my ironing every Tuesday and returns it on Thursday.

Great job, never had any problems. Martina is always reliable, accommodating and cheerful. When my washing machine broke Martina took all the laundry and ironing, a great service, I can not recommend her highly enough. Debbie (Cublington resident)
