Minster Matters 3 October 2010 The ‘E’ Team EDITORIAL Have I had a busy Month ? You bet I have. Started out journeying right across the County judging for Kent Village of the Year (Minster didn’t enter this time) met some really nice Ray people and saw some very interesting and diverse projects. Then off to a meeting in Lenham to decide the various (Minster Window Company) winners etc., followed by a second trip to Lenham later in the Property Maintenance month for the Presentation Ceremony, which to my horror I was Building Work asked to MC. Oh how I hate public speaking, but somehow I Plastering * Rendering Amy muddled through and I can now say I felt honoured at being uPVC Windows & Doors asked although I was terrified at the time. uPVC Fascia, Soffits & Guttering So what with that, then chasing stories and adverts for the Repairs to existing double glazing magazine, along with a hospital visit I could well have done Misted up sealed units replaced without, plus numerous other calls on my time, this month has Brenda Garage Doors * Decking absolutely flown by. Oh, and I mustn’t forget to say thank you to the Village Hall Bowls Group for inviting myself and my better half to their recent barbeque, it was a very enjoyable Call on afternoon. Eve Now before I forget, I must inform you all that Steve the Warden was rushed into hospital again with a re-occurence of a previous problem, but he is out again now and back home recuperating. We here at MM wish him well, as I’m sure all his A.J.Cliffe & Sons friends in the village do, let’s hope he’s back on duty again soon.

October 2010 Local Lad Comes Good Some of you may have seen the posters around the village advertising a boxing match. That fight is being undertaken by none other than Dan Woodgate and he needs your support. Dan has big aspirations for his future in the fight game and we feel he deserves a few column inches to promote himself and what he hopes to achieve Dan tells us that having moved with his family, early in his life, from Orpington to Minster, he has really taken village life to heart and likes nothing better than attending the Minster Show. As a youngster he showed no interest in carrots and potatoes, unless they were on his dinner plate, but he has recently come to appreciate the time and effort those who grow them must take. Dan and his friend Arron Lowery started boxing some 5 years ago just as a way to get a bit fitter and lose a few pounds, but he found he had a real liking for the sport, becoming a 1/4 finalist in the Amateur Championships 3 years ago. Ranked 10th in the County Amateurs, he then decided it was time to turn Pro. Dan does his training in Redhill with Michael Alldis, and he has now had one Pro fight that took place in February, which he won on points. He tells us nothing is easy in the fight game and although his manager had tried to get further fights since then something has always resulted in them not actually happening. He now has a new manager and a 2nd fight planned for 16th October in Crawley. Dan sees himself with a Southern Area title within 18 months and in 2 to 21/2 years he is hoping to be looking at having a crack at winning the British Title. As I said earlier “Great Aspirations” but he needs our help to get there. To that end Dan would love to hear from you that you’d like to go along and support him.
Editor There is a coach arranged from Minster Station on 16th at £10 per person, plus fight ticket cost is £30. Interested? Then please ring Dan on 0780 701 311 to book your seats.

October 2010 Steve Taylor, Community Warden As we near Autumn and all that goes with it, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone about keeping safe as the nights start to draw in. This can be a difficult time for some members of the community, especially those who are elderly or alone or indeed both. If you have a neighbour who you think you could help, why not drop in on them and see how they are. Maybe help with some shopping or picking up a prescription, even stopping for a chat can make the world of difference to some people. If there is someone who you have concerns over don’t hesitate to give me a call and I will try and help where I can. Think of it as Minster’s Winter Watch. We are going to need to help each other more and more as some services get affected by the up and coming budget restraints and this is when we show what a good community does when called upon. You will see posters and other notices soon relating to a campaign run by Thanet District Council along with myself, on the subject of none other than DOG-FOULING and LITTER. I’ve lost count of the number of articles I have written about dog-fouling, but I make no apologies for that, as I am determined to get the message across that it is just not acceptable not to pick up after your dog. Generally the village is doing well and doesn’t suffer greatly from any serious quality of life issues, but that doesn’t mean we can get complacent. If there are any problems you think I could help you with please call me on the number listed in this journal and thanks for your continued support for me and take care.

Not Nice but It Needs Saying! It has come to our notice here at MM that, where both we and the Community Warden are always banging on about villagers not clearing up after their dogs, we also have a problem with at least one amongst us who even has the barefaced cheek to leave their own faeces for someone else to clear up. We feel sure members of this community wouldn’t wish to know where this has been found, or by whom it was left, but we know, because it has been confirmed by CCTV footage. All we can say to you is, (and if you’re reading this, you’ll know exactly who you are, Madam), that you obviously have no pride in your surroundings or in Minster as a whole, as it is just disgusting what you’ve done and we sincerely hope you eventually get your comeuppance for doing such a shameful thing. Your companion is no better, having stood and held your coat whilst you relieved yourself, the pair of you should be truly ashamed!!

October 2010 ABBEY FARM FOOTPATHS Following on from last month’s letter re the footpaths/tracks around Abbey Farm, we felt we should take it upon ourselves to have a look at the Designated Footpaths Map to see just what Rights of Way it showed in that area, and we also paid a site visit to see where the stated signs were for ourselves. (We must admit we did drive the route and not walk it.) Whilst the two areas that had been signed may have been used previously by the public neither are officially recognised public rights of way and therefore we must conclude that the farm owners have every right to erect the signs that they have. Having then spoken with the farm owners, we could see the safety and disturbance issues involved, that had prompted them to erect these. We were however disheartened to find that those on the Southern side of the railway line had been both vandalised and removed. We also understand from other sources that there is a possibility that the path is to be officially realigned beyond the railway line, in that where at present the path crosses the track via the concrete road then turns right and follows the hard road around one side of the duck pond and on towards the stile, where it then re-crosses the railway line, it is proposed to realign this complete section to run instead, along the Southern boundary fence of the railway, thus keeping the public and dogs away from the duck pond area and also to eliminate walkers having to negotiate the blind corner on the hard road, which we understand is a real hazard point at harvest times. Maybe this isn’t what the writer of last month’s letter or others wish to hear, but we can only report the facts, as we see them, to you. What we can add though, and this bit probably won’t best please the farmer, is that recently some villagers fought for the official recognition of another track, that was about to be lost in the new development off of Monkton Road, the outcome of which was that, after a considerable amount of effort, by a small number of people, they have been successful in having the route recognised as an ‘official right of way’. So if anyone feels strongly enough about the present situation at Abbey Farm then maybe they should consider taking it up with the County Footpaths Officer and/or the Parish Council. Editor

I am studying the Dutch and Flemish gabled houses of Kent and during my research came across an article in the Kent Archaeological Society’s annual publication dated 1878 referring to Minster in Thanet which I thought your readers might be interested in. The article by the editor of Archaeologia Cantiana vol. XII on page 353 writes: “In Minster village there are several houses, built of brick in the time of Charles II or of William III, which have such prettily curved gable ends, as were characteristic of the Caroline reigns in England. Perhaps there is no part of Kent which retains, within an equally small area, so many examples of these graceful gables. Near Minster Vicarage, an old house with two such gables had in iron RK 1693 was in Kennett’s Lane [presumably RK stood for Robert Kennett a major ratepayer at the time] then house passed to Thrum and lane became Thrum’s Lane. This gable was similar to Swan Cottage in Reading Street. Another house inhabited by Dr. Harris has similar gable. White Horse Inn [at this time] had two gables [now one].” ‘Several’ could be three or seven or more, if only we had been given a figure! I know of the former White Horse (with the date 1597 in the gable) and the one in Durlock (also the one at Monkton) but the others appear to have been lost. Does any reader know of where the others were or have old pictures of one or more? I would be very grateful if anyone can throw some light, however little, on these missing examples of our heritage. More details of these gables in Thanet can be found on www.iotas.org.uk/thanetpast and details can be sent to the Isle of Thanet Archaeological Society mailbox at mail@iotas.org.uk or I can be contacted on 01843 867415.

Dear Editor..... In reply to Robert Gibb's letter regarding the Harlow family, yes Hazel Harlow was born in Minster and had three brothers Eric, Allan and Edgar and it was Allan who had the butchers shop in Tothill Street. Hazel's father George Harlow was a milkman and his dairy is now Ben's supermarket. He originally came from Bekesbourne. Hazel and I share an 8x great grandfather Richard Harlow born in 1589 in Elmstone so are distantly related. Yours faithfully, Angela Powell AMBER’S ADVICE

October 2010 An Extra Bus Stop Needed?.... A concerned resident has been in touch with Stagecoach bus company requesting an extra bus stop at the top of the village for Bus Service No9. ‘I live in Minster-in-Thanet, Nr. Ramsgate. Why on earth cannot it be arranged for the number 9 bus that comes from Ramsgate and goes to Canterbury, not stop at the top of the village. So many people have asked me this question. There is plenty of space at the top of the village on the Canterbury road, for a pull in now - it is ridiculous that we have to travel to other stops to get on board. The new Express Inn and the Co-operative store etc. have plenty of room, it is really a possibility if you look into it.’ Yvonne Chapman Stagecoach bus company have responded to Yvonne’s letter and are ‘considering this in the next timetable change’ but as yet are unable to confirm when this will be. If you agree that this is needed why not get in touch with Stagecoach too - I’m sure if they are aware of a big enough demand actions will soon be taken.
Apology....... to Joyce Seath and Joyce Bromley. We here at MM wish to apologise to Joyce Seath for mistakenly putting her name to a note we had received from Joyce Bromley. We also wish to apologise to Joyce Bromley for getting it wrong. Sorry ladies, a senior moment by the Editor I’m afraid. Congratulations…..to Minster Bowls Club members Sylvia Pritchard and Audrey Gent on winning the Ladies Pairs Competition at 30th Annual Herne Bay Open Bowls Tournament

October 2010 Minster Bowls Club. As founder members of the newly formed outdoor East Kent Triples League, Minster Bowls Club were crowned Winners in this inaugural year, having won by 4 points from second team, Ashford Town, who finished on 38 points. Captains Sylvie Arnold & Ken Wooldridge were presented with the Pennant & Nada Williams Plate at Canterbury on Monday 6th September accompanied by other Minster Members. It's very nearly time to say good bye. That is good bye to the outdoor season. We are going out on a high, and Clubs around Thanet are beginning to notice our presence or at least our good bowlers. In the Ramsgate Triples Final were Mike Boston, Trevor Elson, and Alan Razzell. In the Mixed Fours at Broadstairs we were the winners, congratulations to Audrey, Sylvie, Ken & Ron. Other competitions at Broadstairs are in progress as I write. Audrey & Sylvie were winners of the Ladies Pairs at Herne Bay. The clubs end placings for the Men, in the Isle of Thanet League, were 4th, 4th and 8th across the two divisions. Following the Barn Dance on the 8th October, we will be having a race night on the 12th November. October 1st starts the new Short Mat season begin. So if you would like to try your hand, keep in the warm and out of the wet weather , please come down to the Pavilion opposite the All Weather surface, where you will receive the warmest of welcomes.

October 2010 Minster Playhouse As Summer draws to a close and thoughts turn to baubles on the Christmas Tree, amateur dramatic companies across the country start focussing their attention on the next production, Pantomime! But where does this custom come from? Pantomime’s origins lie in Ancient Greece, where it meant a group of artists who carried out impersonations accompanied by sung narrative and instrumental music. It was a popular form of entertainment in Ancient Greece, and later in Rome, which encompassed the true theatre elements of comedy, tragedy and sex. Pantomime arrived in England as a short theatrical production, usually operas, performed between the Acts of a play serving as an overture to Act 2 and eventually evolved into separate shows. Gradually these pantomimes became more topical and comic, often involving as many special theatrical effects as possible. Traditionally performed at Christmas, Pantomime is now a popular form of family entertainment incorporating songs, buffoonery, slapstick, dance, cross-dressing, in-jokes and audience participation. There are a number of fairly traditional story lines as well as some well defined performance conventions – the leading man is played by a woman and the hero’s mother is played by a man, otherwise known as the ‘Dame’. Panto story lines and scripts typically make no reference to Christmas, and are almost always based on traditional children's stories. This year, Minster Playhouse are returning to tradition with their production of ‘Aladdin’, the story of an impoverished young ne'er-dowell, in a Chinese city who is tricked into retrieving an oil lamp from a cave. If you want to know more you will just have to come and see the production. With all the elements of comedy and tragedy, plus some excellent singing, dancing and acting you can’t miss this opportunity. Aladdin is being performed by Minster Playhouse at the Minster Village Hall from the 1st – 4th December 2010, all tickets £6, £5 concessions. Special Offer on Wednesday 1st December – two for the price of one! Don’t delay – call Terry on 01843 220208. —–––––- STOP PRESS!!! –—––––

The 6th Annual ‘Ride To Remember’ On Sunday 29th August, 40 of us set off on the annual JAKE PHILPOTT memorial bike ride. We all had the same goal, to finish the 22 mile (some say 26) course with no major catastrophes. So at 11am we left the British Legion, off up the hill, through Acol and onto Minnis Bay. That’s when we knew what we were up against. A head wind all the way along Reculver to the first proper stop, the King Ethelbert. Once there a well earned drink and rest before we headed off through picturesque countryside (anything to take your mind off the pain), to The Gate Inn. Tired but still keen, it was back on the saddle and onto The Grove Ferry. Here, great fun was had by “the children” on the bouncy castle, Sumo wrestling and Gladiator wars. Onward again to a quick stop at the Rising Sun when oh no! the heavens opened. The umbrellas outside, took off (what idiot put them up in that wind). Some stopped to see if it would ease off, the more hardy got going, after all it was only rain, (or was it hailstones?). Drenched and bedraggled we besieged the Dog and Duck at Plucks Gutter, to the horror of Bank Holiday day trippers in their Sunday best eating roast beef (oh the smell !!). We didn’t outstay our welcome before it was onto the home straight, through Monkton to the Legion where a well earned drink (more drink!), food a plenty and of course a sit down (or not, as the case may be) was awaiting. A massive THANK YOU to all who took part, to both newcomers and all you regulars, to everyone who helped with food, emergency lifts and repairs along the way. See you all next year. XXXX

RSPCA Animal update
September 1st saw the Chairman of the Parish Council, Cllr. Mrs Diamond and Malone are 3 years Ann Thomson officially re-opening the footpath now numbered TE462 from Monkton Road down the edge of “The Orchard� which was so old and came to the Centre following the death of their owner. They are nearly lost to the new development. Thanks for this go especially to John Burren who first sought bonded brothers who are looking for advice on how to save it, and for his efforts and passion at seeing it a new home together. They are used through. Thanks also go to Mrs. Mc Cloughlin of KCC Rights of Way to being around dogs. for all her advice and help in processing the claim, to Persimmon for Titus is approx 5-6 months old their support in establishing the footpath, to KCC and Minster Parish and he is a stray who was brought to Council for supporting the claim, and last but by no means least, thank the Centre after nearly being run over you to all the villagers who filled in the paperwork, wrote letters, dug by a car. Titus is extremely friendly out maps etc, without all of these the path would not exist. and just loves fuss and attention.
Polly is a young female rabbit who was found as a stray. She is very shy so would prefer a home where there are no young children. Kelly, Bluebell and Thunder cats have all found new homes.

They were both named after village families and are 12 Cheney Road, which has been named Morphew House and 9 Cheney Road which has been named Razzell House. The honours were completed by Cllr Mrs Ann Thomson, in her position as Chairman of the Parish Council and the Parish Clerk, Kyla Lamb (nee Razzell) as a family member.

September's meeting began with the singing of 'Jerusalem' to a recorded musical backing - which proved somewhat unsuccessful, and it was felt we sounded better 'a cappella'! Our speaker that month was Don Wilks, who entertained us with his superb photographs of the flora and fauna in South Africa's Kruger National Park. With his witty and informed commentary, Don once again proved a popular speaker. Final arrangements were announced for October's Dabble Day, when members can 'have a go' at flower arranging, salsa dancing, barge painting, and seated exercise, with lunch being cooked by Marion Rose and helpers. A separate craft day will also be held. Willing volunteers were sought to provide entertainment at our Christmas Party in December - which is not too far away: mince pies are already in the shops! It was agreed that we would once again take a stall at the Village Christmas Fair, selling home made cakes and preserves. The next meeting, to which visitors and new members will be made welcome, will be on Tuesday, 12 October, at 7.30 pm in the Village Hall. The speaker will be Helen Kendal-Tobias on 'Colour Me', and members are asked to bring a scarf or stole.

Kent Trading Standards are warning people to be wary of a telephone caller claiming that you are entitled to a council tax rebate. The caller is asking for bank details in order to issue refunds. Another potential victim was told his bank details were required to claim back his unfair bank charges. These calls are similar to other reports Trading Standards have received where the details were requested for refunds by “Customs and Excise”. We would advise people to be extremely careful when disclosing personal information over the telephone. Make sure you know who you are speaking to and if at all unsure, inform the caller you will ring them back. Do not use the number they give you but look the number up in your local phone directory or yellow pages. Alternatively, you could just request the refund by cheque (if they are legitimate, they should already have your address). Kent Trading Standards has received reports that a website has been set up in the name of a well known brand of fizzy cola drink. The website advertised a competition which the consumer entered; the consumer was then called and told to pay £400 to release their million pound prize. Consumers will not receive the million pound prize because we believe this is a scam and the website was not set-up by the well known fizzy drink company. Kent Trading Standards are advising consumers to check websites before entering competitions or giving them any of your personal details. Most well known brands have dedicated phone lines and/or emails that you can contact them on if you are in any doubt about a website, phone call or mailing you receive that claims to be from them. This also applies to all well known organisations such as banks and building societies. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Trading Standards would like to remind consumers to be cautious when considering applying for home working schemes on the Internet. In some cases the site will ask for payment in advance and then does not supply any of the promised materials for home working. It is unlikely that you will get any of your money back if this happens. If considering this type of work the following website provides useful information to help you decide if this option is for you. www.homeworkinguk.com Please contact Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 or go to www.consumerdirect.gov.uk if you need further advice on your consumer rights, or you want to report any businesses or incidents you have concerns about.

31st October at 7pm
Experiment at Quex ends in tragedy A group of eminent Victorians will meet at Quex House on the eve of hallowe’en to conduct an experiment which will prove whether or not ghosts exist. But before the night is through a ghastly murder will take place. Can you solve the mystery? Is the sceptic scientist suspicious? Where was the sinister butler at the crucial time? And how come the flamboyant clairvoyant didn’t see it coming? Mingle amongst them with the lady of the house in this mysterious and exciting evening of promenade theatre and detective work. Get in the mood – come in Victorian dress for a chance to win a prize.
Tickets: £8 to include a glass of wine
