Crudwell
Parish News
February 2013
PARISH NEWS EDITORIAL During 2012 the publication of The Courier ceased. The loss of this long established valued informative local magazine was a great blow to the Community. After a short break in publication, the Parish Council was able to create a completely new format magazine with the most notable feature being the introduction of colour production. This was achieved by the joint efforts of Parish Councillors, the Printers and most importantly the copy writers and Advertisers. It was a great relief to the Parish Council when Parishioners expressed their appreciation for the new format and quality of the newly created Crudwell Parish News. There were never any initial misconceptions that a completely new concept magazine could be produced exclusively by the Parish Council without significant additional assistance from interested volunteers. It was extremely fortunate that two very enthusiastic Parishioners were able to further develop the initial successful CPN concept to its present high standard.
It is now essential that for the CPN to continue in its present format then more volunteers are needed to supplement the Management Team. We are seeking in particular volunteers with IT and desk top publishing skills to join the team although anyone with an interest in assisting us should consider contacting the Parish Council. Terms of Reference for the management of the CPN are available to anyone who would like to consider assisting us with this most valuable Parish asset. The Crudwell Parish News belongs to the Parish and is therefore jointly owned by the Parishioners. The fundamental aim for the CPN is that it should continue from its initial roots of many years ago to be delivered free of charge to every household in the Parish. This can only be achieved with the sustained contribution of dedicated volunteers. If you would like to consider helping in any way to fulfil this concept please contact the Parish Clerk or any Parish Councillor. Contact details are available within this edition of the CPN.
PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION There were no entries received for January 2013 which may have been the result of editorial change and the latest contact address was not noticed. We hope that not many people were disappointed, and suggest for this month the theme of RURAL INDUSTRY may spark the imagination of local photographers. We shall re-run the theme of Hobbies one more time next month to recreate the opportunity for those who may have prepared an entry under that heading. The monthly prize continues to be up for grabs so go to it. Large pixel content is encouraged to make the reproduction in the CPN worthy of the effort taken in making the photograph. Entries by 15 March please.

Who cares if we lose our Parish Council? After all, the councillors seem to be a bunch of retired busy bodies that spend all of their time in meetings and then moan about it. Anyway, what do they really do? Well if no one stands for election in May, you will soon find out the hard way. No Crudwell Parish Council means that Wiltshire Council will administer the area via their officers. Who are they? What do you mean the Parish rates are going up by 50%? What’s happened to all of the funds that the PC built up over the years? I’m getting fed up with the flooding in the village. Why hasn’t the grass been cut for weeks? Someone ought to sort out those planes at Kemble. The increasing activity is getting ridiculous. Starting to get a bit more interested? The Parish Council performs a vital and often thankless task in holding those that control many aspects of our day to day life and our community to task. Without
their commitment and expertise, we would have to deal, on an individual basis, with the Trowbridge bureaucracy. Good luck if you have to try that option. Some of you reading this might think, Who does this bloke think he is, lecturing me. If he is so worried, why doesn’t he do something?” Well, how many Chelworth residents do you want on the Crudwell PC? I didn’t set out to offend anyone, but the subtle approach hasn’t worked in the past, so remember, if you don’t elect a working council in May, this is the number that you will need for any queries 0300 456 0100. They will probably start by saying that it’s nothing to do with them and that you should refer to your Parish Council. But hey Who cares if we lose our Parish Council?

Horse and Pig DNA in Meat Products From: Maggie Rae, Corporate Director and Councillor Keith Humphries, Cabinet Member There is much media coverage this morning regarding this issue. As yet Wiltshire Council’s Public Protection Service has not received any instruction from the Food Standards Agency, London directing us to take action on this issue. The FSA (Ireland) have acted swiftly to identify affected product, retailers and implicated meat processing plants. They stress there is no health risk associated with these findings. A further update will be circulated should the FSA London issue an instruction for local authorities to act.

Name and Venue Change: The Malmesbury Garden Club has decided that as many of our members live in the villages around the town and to show that we do wish to embrace them we have changed our name to Malmesbury and District Garden Club. We have also decided not to continue holding our annual Flower Show on August Bank Holiday in the Town Hall but to put on a Flower and Vegetable in Charlton Village Hall on Saturday 20th July when we hope there will be a wider selection of plants to be exhibited. Our show will be open to all, there are no entry fees, we just want local gardeners to take part. For all details of our talks and the show visit our website . www.malmesburygardenclub.org True story: Some years ago the Garden Club was offered a fine large cup ( found in the basement of Lloyds bank ) which had been the property of the old Malmesbury Christmas Livestock Show - We•needed a cup to be•awarded to the lady exhibitor•who•had•put in•the best exhibit in the baking•or knitting classes.

We appreciate that not everyone will be able to attend on the 21st but can you please indicate as soon as possible to either Pat, Jo or Margaret if you are not rejoining, as we are lucky enough to have several ladies on the waiting list.

GOINGS ON IN CRUDWELL IN THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY The following story of two Wiltshire peasants told in the king’s court in 1211 may be assumed to illustrate the rougher side of life in a medieval village (source, Curia Regis Rolls vi 137): ‘Richard of Crudwell appeals (accuses) John Scot and says that on the eve of Our Lady’s birthday three years ago, the said John came from Ashley where he had been at a scotale (an ale-drinking) and in the way as he came from Cirencester market made Richard get up behind him on his horse, and whereas Richard had thought that he would give him a lift in good faith, he struck out his hand backwards with a knife in it and struck Richard and wounded him in the right shoulder so that he fell off the horse, and John dismounted and again struck him with the knife and gave him another wound on the shoulder higher up (and the first wound was four and a half inches deep), and left him nearly dead, and besides this robbed him of forty-three shillings in coin from his purse and of a gold ring price fifteen pence; and when he had done this, Richard went home as best he might on all fours; and on the next day, the day of S. Mary’s birth, he informed the king’s serjeant (Chief Constable), Robert of Hale, who came and saw the wounds and granted him the king’s peace and went away; and five nights afterwards John came with his force to the house of Richard’s mother in Crudwell and burgled her house and bound her and so treated her thereby. And afterwards he robbed the house and carried off whatever was therein; and on the fourth or fifth day after the burglary Richard came to his mother and found her in the said condition, and she bade him, in case of her dying before him, to prosecute her death against the said John. And all this he offers to deraign against him as the court shall consider. Courtesy of Mr Ron Packer

Cotswold Airport Advisory Group Amongst the many consultation committees and advisory groups that members of Crudwell Parish Councillors attend is the Cotswold Airport Advisory Group (CAAG). The airfield has been in existence for many years, latterly sold into private ownership following Royal Air Force occupation. Notably it was the home base of the Red Arrows Aerobatic team during that period. Most will know that the geographic area of the airfield is bisected, not equally, by the county borders of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, which has led to several administrative problems for both the Management and the two County Authorities. The CAAG is the forum for close liaison to resolve such problems in an effect manner CAAG is Chaired by Cotswold District Council (CDC) planning officer and the following parties are represented. The Airport Manager and advisers, CDC Councillors, Wiltshire Council are represented by Minety Ward Member, the deputy Chairman is a WC Senior Planning Officer who is supported by an Enforcement Officer, and the surrounding Parish Councils send along a representative. Recent developments have included the completion of an Airport Management initiative to voluntarily sign a Unilateral Undertaking which details the activities that will take place within the airfield perimeter on an area of ground that lies within WC control. This document sets out a calendar of events and activities which will be strictly adhered to by the Airport Management and which will be enforced by WC who are the controlling authority. From the latest minutes we have reproduced a pie chart of activities for information. We are often asked about the employment viability of the base now in commercial ownership. Figures just released indicate 165 employed within the Airport Operational sector which contribute to a total of 388 full time jobs within the airfield boundary. If you have any issues you would wish to have raised at the next meeting in April please contact any member of the Crudwell Parish Council IJM.
