Welcome…

Regardless of how you voted on 23 June, we all now owe it to ourselves and to the generations that will follow us to make the most of the decision to leave the European Union. That’s not to imply support or otherwise for the result, rather to encourage support for the democratic process that the result represents. Your local MP may not have been the candidate you voted for in 2015, but they are still your MP and obliged to represent you every bit as much as their most zealous supporters. Similarly, even if you voted to remain in the EU, as a nation we are now all represented by the decision to come out and there now needs to be some level of unity going forwards.

EU discussions have divided political parties, communities and households. As a community publication that’s not something we could overlook and I am proud that we were able to mark this historic debate in our own small way by publishing some of the varying viewpoints of local people in the previous issue. But as a community publication I am even more interested in highlighting those aspects of our society which unite individuals. So, as we leave the intricacies of Brexit to one side, I am pleased to turn my attention away from the stars of the EU and focus on the stars of E18 (and the surrounding postcodes that do not neatly fit this word play).

With the return of a festival that has a track record of bringing neighbours together (see page 10), local residents can now continue to sing and dance as one, even if they didn’t vote as one. Because when individuals sing together they become a band, but when neighbours sing Lee Marquis, Editor together they become a community.

The South Woodford Society (SWS) is appealing for residents and local businesses to join them as they start to draft their South Woodford Neighbourhood Plan, which they hope will prevent ‘the end of suburbia or hope for South Woodford.’

“Neighbourhood plans are a vital tool for residents to have input over where new homes, shops and offices are built and how they look,” said SWS member Louise Burgess. The Society – which has over 275 members and celebrated its first anniversary

earlier this year – have expressed concern over increased development in the area and the high turnover of shops on the high street. “This plan will help us work with the council over a number of potential development sites, including the Station Estate, the Marlborough Business Centre and the Travis Perkins site as these areas may be at risk of high-rise developments.” Membership to the South Woodford Society is free.

With a borough-wide turnout of 67.6% at the referendum on 23 June, 69,213 (54%) Redbridge residents voted to remain in the EU and 59,020 (46%) voted to leave. Visit swvg.co/eu

Following five years of training and auditing, Redbridge’s health services and children’s centres have received a Baby Friendly Award from UNICEF. The initiative recognises the need to change focus to not only supporting breastfeeding but also to improving emotional outcomes for all children, including those who are fed on formula milk.

Redbridge offers 12 baby feeding cafes and six antenatal breastfeeding workshops and the assessment involved speaking to mothers about these services.

Green-fingered South Woodford resident Helen Auty will be opening her garden to the public on 14 August from 12pm to 5pm (adults: £4; children: free) as part of the National Gardens Scheme, which raises money for a wide range of good causes. Helen has been cultivating the garden of 46 Cheyne Avenue – which was built in 1926 – since she moved in over 25 years ago and has participated in the charitable scheme annually since 2014.

“This garden was untouched when I moved in,” said Helen. “I have always enjoyed gardening and after retiring I have had more time.” Helen’s garden is on the site of Lord Cheyne’s original market garden and is described as a ‘typical suburban garden with borders of shrubs, climbers and perennials’ and as a ‘productive fruit and vegetable garden’.

Local resident Paul Reilly will be representing Woodford at this year’s Walthamstow International Film Festival. Inspired by a book Paul’s father gave him as a child, Nearly a Hero is a drama set before the end of the Second World War and tells the true story of inventor Geoffrey Pyke and his ice aircraft carrier. “This was a labour of love, to make a documentary film about this forgotten hero, and it’s also a tribute to my dad and his wide interest in quirky things,” said Paul, who flies drones for industrial and inspection work with his company Redcopters.

The festival, now in its seventh year, will hold screenings on 23 and 24 July at the Empire cinema in Walthamstow. Paul, who is also chairman of the Walthamstow Amateur Film Club, has been making films for more than 15 years. Visit swvg.co/wiff

Patrick Rowley from Woodford Green was awarded a British Empire Medal for his services to hockey, Hilda Lilly Lyons from South Woodford received a British Empire Medal for services to disabled people and Neil Martin, chief executive of the South Woodford-based Jewish Lads’ and Girls’ Brigade, was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

Join Edwardian-themed celebrations at hall

Fight continues to save Sir James Hawkey Hall

A year-long heritage project that has been exploring the history of Woodford Memorial Hall – located at 209 High Street, South Woodford – will come to a close on 9 July and Deborah Aloba, who has been leading the project, is inviting local residents to join an Edwardian-themed closing ceremony party (11am to 4pm; free entry). “There will be something for everyone. Children can join in Edwardian games like hoop and stick and have their faces painted, ladies can watch a demonstration of Edwardian make-up and have an Edwardian makeover or guests can just sit and chill while listening to some relaxing early jazz music and eat wonderful Edwardian-style cakes,” said Deborah. A magic show will also take place from 6pm (adults: £10; children: £5; including a ploughman’s supper).

Call 020 8505 3352

Campaigners opposing the possible redevelopment of the Sir James Hawkey Hall site in Woodford Green have called on Redbridge Council for an ‘open and transparent process to fully explore mixed use of the whole site’ and to ‘carefully consider the requirements of the whole community when deciding its future’. “The Hawkey Hall is the only building of its kind and size in the area.

There are many groups that are desperate to make use of it if the rates were affordable, thus generating vital income,” said campaigner Sarah Hodge. The comments follow a debate at a council meeting in May, which was triggered by a 2,000-strong petition against the proposals.

The hall – which was opened in March 1955 by Sir Winston Churchill – is available for hire.

Clean eating cookbook supports local charity

Come on down for Motown at drama centre

The Estrellas

Local fitness club Fitgirlslim has launched a charity cookbook of clean eating recipes, which limits the use of processed foods. Sales of Clean Cuisine – which features 85 dishes and is available in digital (£10) and printed (£12) formats – will help raise funds for the Rose Walton Centre in South Woodford, which helps children with cerebral palsy. “We have adopted the Rose Walton Centre as our chosen charity for 2016.

It is a tiny, family-run charity that desperately needs funds to continue it’s amazing work using the Peto method to help children with cerebral palsy,” said Karen Smith of Fitgirlslim. Members of the club also went head-tohead in a quiz night at Morello Ristorante in May as part of their fundraising efforts, which added £400 to the £800 the group has generated so far this year.

Local residents are invited to a celebration of Motown music this July with a performance by three-piece band The Estrellas at Redbridge Drama Centre. “With a trio of smooth-as-silk vocals, sparkling dance routines and star personalities to entertain the crowd, the girls are ready to give you a musical experience to remember,” said Caroline Ward, secretary of the Friends of Redbridge Drama Centre, which is hosting the event on 16 July at 7.30pm (adults: £15; children: £7.50). All profits will be used to support the work of the drama centre, which has provided theatre for all ages since 1969.

Other upcoming shows at the centre – located on Churchfields, South Woodford – include a production by Redbridge Youth Theatre on 12 July looking at the build up to the year 2000.

Cake sale and tea party is huge success

Join The Big Friendly Read this summer

A garden party held at the Derby Road home of South Woodford resident Michelle Vanlint has raised £4,363 for Haven House Children’s Hospice. The event, which took place in June, included tea and homemade cake sales, a raffle and stalls selling greetings cards, candles and handbags. “I want to say a massive thank you to all those that supported me, it take weeks of planning and I need so much help along the way to be able to pull the day off without any hitches,” said Michelle, who has been hosting the event annually since 2006. “The hospice has a scheme called ‘pay for a day’ where you raise enough to fund the operating costs for a day. The amount required is £3,815 and 17 October is going to be the day we helped to fund,” added Michelle. Additional donations are welcome – visit swvg.co/mv

The Summer Reading Challenge – which aims to encourage children to read for enjoyment – will launch at South Woodford Library and Woodford Green Library on 16 July. Four- to 11-year-olds are invited to sign up for the annual event, which requires participants to read six library books of their choice from a collection 72 titles over the summer holiday. Many of the books in the collection are new reads, covering a wide range of genres. This year’s theme is ‘The Big Friendly Read’, which celebrates 100 years since the birth of popular children’s author Roald Dahl, whose book The BFG is among the collection.

“Taking part is easy…and there are fantastic rewards to collect along the way, including a certificate and medal,” said a library spokesperson. Call 020 8708 9067

Fliers will be produced that will point people to these portals where the information can be kept up to date and accessed more widely. Posters will, of course, appear in local shops and fliers will be distributed at libraries and local train stations for those who do not use social media.

I moved to Woodford with my wife, who is the officer in charge at the Salvation Army Centre in Daisy Road, South Woodford. Working as the Salvation Army Community Chaplain places me in a good position to organise this event and I am hoping that – although I only have a short timescale in which to arrange everything – it

So far 40 events have been organised for the programme at venues including St Mary’s Church, Latchett Evangelical Church, the Salvation Army Centre, All Saints, Holy Trinity Church, Woodford Wells, Lily’s Indulgence, Home Organic Bread Shop and Bancroft School, as well as a number of pubs that will be running quiz nights and

beer festivals with live music throughout the event.

The range of music that will be on offer covers everything from choral to jazz and folk, brass and chamber with opera and light classical thrown in as well – there should be something for everyone within the mix.

A mini music and magic show for children and adults with and without disabilities is also being planned, as is the opening of the gardens of Hurst House.

event that we have already lined up, scheduled to take place at the Derby Road Methodist Church – audience participation will be encouraged!

The London Fire Brigade celebrate their 140th anniversary on the second Saturday of the festival and they have expressed interest in being included in the programme of events.

It is our vision that some events will be youth orientated, to be held at both inside and outside venues, so we are hoping October’s weather will be good to us!

Feathered and furred members of the community will be catered for during the festivities as well, with a pet service at Holy Trinity Church planned for the first Sunday.

As the countdown continues apace, I would very much like to know if there are any other groups, clubs or organisations out there that would like to be part of the programme. Do get in touch and I look forward to celebrating all that the Woodford area has to offer.

A Sound of Music singalong by The Woodford Singers is another

The Woodford Festival will run from 1 to 9 October. For more information, visit woodfordfestival.org.uk. To find out how to get involved, email coordinator.wf@gmail.com or call 07799 758 782

Happy and glorious…

Beverley Crescent in Woodford Green was one of many roads across Redbridge that closed on 12 June to allow residents to celebrate the Queen’s birthday.

Residents Ken Mills and Karen Hawkins report

T

he Beverley Crescent street party for HM the Queen encompassed everything that is community.

It brought together the young and the not-so-young as neighbours worked together preparing for the event.

Bunting linked across the road, uniting households physically and metaphorically. The sense of fun was palpable for days prior to the event as everyone pitched in.

Something wonderful has begun in our community We received great support from an ever-widening group of local volunteers and successfully applied for a grant of £200 from Redbridge Council, which when combined with contributions from each household in the street, enabled a full day of fun

and games to be enjoyed by residents and their guests.

It was so nice to see the Crescent free of cars and, as the tea tables and final decorations were put in place, the street started to buzz with anticipation as friends and neighbours started to mingle and enjoy the start of the day’s events. What a shame the rain decided to fall for so long and so heavily, but even the afternoon monsoon that prevented all but the hardiest neighbours from a full afternoon tea couldn’t dampen spirits.

Neighbours worked together to rescue the Beverley bake-off cakes and danced in the rain until it stopped. ‘Keep calm and carry on’ being the ethos of many.

Once the rain passed the road became alive again in minutes.

Neighbours were keen to reignite the fun that had taken hold before the rain had taken over.

A toast was made to the Queen, the cakes were judged and everyone delighted in sampling the wonderful cake entries with a glass of chilled bubbly.

Music continued throughout the evening with dancing, quizzes and celebrations. The Crescent looked so lovely with all the flags and bunting that residents were loath to take

them down. All now gone sadly, but the neighbourliness and fun is still evident on the Crescent.

Something wonderful has begun in our community and it’s now down to each of us to keep our neighbourhood talking. A happy and glorious event!

Our street community is grateful to Redbridge Council, Churchfields School and local Guides and Brownies for lending us the equipment to help make the day such a success.

Local resident Pamela Rainsbury tells Ruth Adams about her very best and very worst holidays

P

amela Rainsbury, a recently retired nursery teacher, hails from Hull but has lived in South Woodford since marrying husband Julian. They have three grown-up children.

"Our first child was two when we and my mother-in-law visited La Valle Andree in Normandy," recalls Pamela. "The ground floor apartment we'd booked, as my mother-in-law had mobility problems, was damp and nasty. The alternative was a flat two floors up; drier but it made for a tough holiday.

Our son developed an ear infection and the French doctor advised that our son needed a hospital procedure. We were not confident following this advice and decided to return to the UK early. Our local GP said the procedure would have been unwise and that he was already nearly better. Our best

holiday was 10 years ago with our three teenage children in New York City where, due to a problem with rooms, we were upgraded to an amazing hotel suite, complete with kitchen and lounge. In NYC, something seemed to be happening all the time. Julian saw Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in a toy store; in a Starbucks we heard comedian Jackie Mason loudly holding court on the next table; and news reports were filmed in the streets. Our girls loved the shopping, my husband met up with long-lost cousins, and I loved the sights, especially the Statue of Liberty."

Bereavement Café A group of local churches have established a new drop-in Bereavement Café where anyone can go to talk about their loss. Fr Martyn Hawkes offers some insight into how the monthly meetings can help

C

hurches are regularly involved with loss and bereavement. Although there are an increasing number of ways in which to arrange religious and nonreligious services to mark a death, most people still look to mainline Christian churches to provide a minister for the funeral of their loved one.

In doing so, they can expect care and support in the days leading up to the funeral and also, if they wish, some ongoing help with the long journey of grief.

Grief doesn’t end with the funeral, but that is the point at which the level of community and social support we get from those around us can sometimes begin to lessen. As life for people around us returns to some sort of normality, it can be hardest for those experiencing the grief most profoundly to continue to process the thoughts and feelings that they continue to feel, in many different ways and at unexpected times.

It can be difficult to share our thoughts and feelings with other people – they may be uncomfortable talking about such things, they may not understand the situation, or they just may not have the time to listen at length.

Recognising a need to support people through this journey – which can extend not only to bereavement but any meaningful

loss – a group of local churches (St Mary’s in South Woodford, St Gabriel’s in Aldersbrook and the Parish of Wanstead) have recently set up a monthly drop-in café where anyone can go to talk about what they are experiencing. It’s an opportunity to meet and share with others going through the grieving process and there are trained volunteers who can offer a sympathetic ear and point you to other sources of help.

We recognised the valuable work already in place at the Cherry Tree Café in Wanstead on the first Thursday of the month called Mourning Coffee and aimed for something complementary in terms of timing, hence we opted for the third Tuesday of the month. We also recognised the distinctive things that we as churches would hope to provide: a warm welcome to people of all faiths and none, good refreshments, compassionate listening and, for those who request it, other opportunities to receive support.

So far, in our first couple of months, we have received some very positive feedback from those who have attended the café and the affirmation that what we are providing is meeting a real need in the community.

We invite anyone who feels this might be of value to them to give it a try. There’s no charge, nothing to join and no need to come back a second time if you don’t want to!

The Bereavement Café will take place on 19 July and 16 August in the vestry of Christ Church, Wanstead from 10.45am to 12pm. For more information, call 020 8505 3000

y passion for music started at the age of one, as my dad would always play music out loud every single day and I would dance along to it. I remember rapping and singing to Missy Elliot, Eminem, 50 Cent and Beyoncé. I also remember dancing to hip hop in my living room and one day I started dancing on the train. That's when I got spotted – at the age of four – by a woman and invited to do some modelling.

The modelling industry was definitely the reason why I'm quite a confident character and I was able to take part in many projects with Monsoon, Disney and Dell.

I would say my dad is my biggest inspiration…

As my mum saw potential in my dancing, she decided to sign me up to ballet classes at the age of five, but unfortunately, my ballet career came to an end two years ago when I felt it wasn't for me any more. I always knew that as much as I adored dancing, music was something that I wanted to pursue. In Year 2 my teacher would always play piano and I remember staring at the keys, praying that one day I would be able to play as well. I came home one day and begged my parents to give me the opportunity to have piano lessons, and I was the happiest girl to find out the answer was yes! The first song I wrote was at the age of nine. It was about my best friend who left the school without warning.

Since that day I have written songs about my feelings.

My mum arranged singing lessons for me at age 11 so that I could be more confident and to help me become a stronger singer.

I used to do drama as a compulsory subject in Year 9, when my teacher told me that I was talented at drama and asked me to pick it as an option for GCSE. To this day drama is another element that I have developed a lust for.

As the years passed, my dad began to see that I was at the age when I was starting to take my career in music seriously and decided to invest in me and my dreams. I would probably say my dad is my biggest inspiration as he got me into the whole music thing and encouraged me to listen to all sorts of genres.

People in the music industry who I look up to are Nicki Minaj, as she inspired me to want to rap, and Kendrick Lamar because of the literature used in his raps to present his life in Compton.

My song I Have a Dream is about me having the dream of pursuing a music career and describing the elements that I will eventually face. Furthermore, Me, Myself And I is based around my life and discusses my struggles in friendships, concluding that you can only trust yourself.

Jennifer's debut single Me, Myself And I is out now. For more information, visit swvg.co/castelo

DD’s Woodford Diary Some South Woodford scribbles from DD, our resident diarist, commentator and observer of all things local

I

was born in South Woodford in a small maternity home in Grove Hill. The midwife “reassured” my mother that she would “see to things” if her child was born with obvious deformities. Clearly, I must have been deemed up to standard. Shocking, really. And yet thousands of young dads were away fighting a war, many never to return. These were tough times. Perhaps midwives were doing their bit to avoid burdening young mums with extra problems when they might quite possibly be widows within weeks.

There are still times when letters trump email…

Talking of deliveries, I have always lived within 10 seconds’ walk of a post box. Right opposite the one on Hillside Avenue, “below the line” in Woodford Green during early childhood years, and then almost adjacent to one in E18.

Pillar boxes we called them, presumably because they were pillar-shaped (not that I’ve ever once thought about it before).

I suppose the modern term of post box describes it more accurately and still does for the ones that are embedded in walls or shaped, appropriately enough, like boxes. Perhaps the pillar boxes inspired me, sort of subliminally, to write letters. I am now, needless to say, a cheerful emailer. But doesn’t everyone experience a bit of a heart flutter at the sight of an envelope with a stamp on the doormat? Come

to think of it, my letters land in the porch now, as I have just had a rather smart chromium letter box fixed at waist height into my front wall so that I can keep the porch locked. Thanks to the influence of Martin the locksmith and friends in the Woodford U3A who had been attending “Security Awareness Groups” (even taking part in role play on the subject of dealing with strangers at the door), I have invested in this new entry-point for my incoming mail. There is a perfectly good letter box right at the bottom of my glass porch door, but I could not bear to think of the postman’s back bent double on my behalf, so before this latest installation, I was in the habit of unlocking the porch when I came down for my first cup of tea at about six o’clock so he could walk in and use the back-friendly, chest-height slot in the inner door. Now I can be secure and he can be ergonomic.

(A good word: I checked the definition for appropriateness: ergonomics, a science that deals with designing and arranging things so that people can use them easily and safely). This tender concern for the postman was born of bitter experience when delivering leaflets during the last Woodford Festival.

Advertising an event at All Saints’ Church, I think it was. Those letter boxes that double as draughtexcluders are, of course, horribly challenging and you are lucky if your mail doesn’t get screwed up in the effort of pushing it through, so that it ends up looking like a discarded (used) paper tissue. But the worst ones

are the spring-loaded, narrow vertical slits, one of which nearly deprived me of half a finger that day, so most of the rest of the leaflets were somewhat bloodstained. I couldn’t make it to Whipps Cross immediately, but clearly I should have: ”It’s too late to stitch this! You should have come yesterday.”

There are still times when letters trump email, in my view.

(Talking of Trump, what price the egg-covered faces of Donald‘s campaign team when we joyfully voted Sadiq into the London mayoralty! Sorry, a digression.

Well, most of my diary this month reads like a digression). What is it about letters on paper, written

by hand? Letters of condolence somehow need to convey more of you, your familiar handwriting, perhaps even a crossing out as you struggle to find the right words. Letters of complaint: paper adds gravitas. Letters of congratulation: well done! You completed the marathon. You won the prize for the biggest marrow! Letters like those to my sister abroad, which I have held in my hand and can now be held in hers. Letters of joyful excitement – for the most ordinary and the most exciting event, a new baby born. “Mother and baby doing well.” Ah, there is, after all, some shape to this rambling diary entry. We’ve started and ended with a birth.

Philip Mount, Senior Manager at Churchill estates, is proud to confirm the opening of our new George Lane branch, which he feels really excited by, after opening the original Churchill estates on George Lane back in January 1999.

“

I must admit, it does feel a little strange to view George Lane from literally the other side of the street, but I feel it has given us all a new lease of life after 18 years in the old branch and an opportunity we really had to take as the new quadruple-fronted corner office gives the whole company a lift and an excellent opportunity to showcase a lot more of our properties and dedicate one entire window to our very buoyant lettings department.

Photography biography

I

first became interested in photography back in the 1970s, when a friend sold me an Olympus OM1 camera.

It was around this time that I also moved to London and, after beginning work at King's College in the biophysics department, became interested in microscopes.

After a period of time I bought a microscope with excellent optics and managed to link the camera to it. From there, after moving to the Institute of Neurology, I also became interested in histology and pathology, which entailed long hours in the darkroom processing black and white negatives, so I gained a good knowledge of traditional photography methods as well.

My other interest is astronomy, but this proved challenging as, living in London, there is often too much light pollution, so I decided on the study of the sun,

which is not only uninhibited by city lights but is also much warmer than sitting outside for hours in the cold night air! A specialist telescope and camera is needed to safely view the sun and observe the many types of phenomena that can be present at any one time on its surface; huge prominences can be witnessed along its edges, along with filaments and, of course, the sunspots that occur on the surface due to huge magnetic fields. I use a camera that can capture hundreds of images in a short period of time and then process them on the computer.

Digital imaging is an excellent media for science photography; it allows me to easily share images and connect with other groups who are interested in similar subjects.

My main camera now is the Canon 70D, which along with a variety of lenses, I carry around with me on my walkabouts

© Stephen Durr

In the sixth of a series of articles by members of the Woodford and Wanstead Photographic Society, Stephen Durr discusses two very different subjects: London scenes and the surface of the sun

around London. My main area for everyday photography is the River Thames and the City, which provide splendid views and huge amounts of history to discover. I also recently joined the Woodford and Wanstead Photographic Society and I would highly recommend joining if you wish to improve and push your hobby to the next level. The club has a varied programme with various photographic talks and competitions – something for photographers of all levels.

S

As it’s summertime, I asked her to tell me about both her favourite and her worst holidays.

"Well, I can't help but combine my answers into one best and worst holiday," she replied.

"Let me explain. Last year we meticulously planned a wonderful trip to America with my in-laws, my parents and my own family. There were eight of us in total, ranging in age from eight to 72. Unfortunately, during the trip, my mum's hip dislocated and we had to visit a hospital in New York for

the doctors to 'pop' it back.

We'd then gone on to Florida, specifically to visit Disneyland.

The kids absolutely loved it there and we were all having a fantastic time. Sadly, Mum's hip dislocated again and after going to another American hospital, and even though she was already at Disney in a wheelchair, my parents decided that enough was enough and they flew home early. You will be pleased to hear that Mum has now had both hips successfully replaced, but I'd really like us to all go away again together, now that she's allowed to fly again."

Memorial Hall memories O

n 19 May my wonderful volunteer Jessica and I spent the day setting up the Heritage Engagement Exhibition, in preparation for the Bishop of Chelmsford’s visit to unveil the plaques for the renaming of the rooms at the Memorial Hall. It was also St Mary’s Church’s Family and Fun Day. On arriving at the hall on the big day I was given strict instructions from Barry to make sure the mini red curtains that Maureen had kindly made to go over the plaques were in place. I finalised the Churchill exhibit, stuck back up the exhibits that had fallen down and set up the screen and projector to run old Edwardian films I’d found, which gave an insight into the era when the hall was first built.

Suddenly it was manic. Stalls were going up, bouncy castles arrived and plants appeared in a wonderful profusion of colour, which lent a real sense of joyfulness to a very grey day.

Children played happily on the bouncy castle, people sat chatting away and catching up with each other’s lives, others wandered by with coconuts they had won and, of course, there was a never-ending supply of tea, coffee and cakes from the ladies of the church. In the joyous midst of this madness there was a prayer tree, so that people could remember members of their family and friends who could not attend the event.

As I rushed around putting up final notices, setting out chocolate eclairs as part of the Churchill exhibit and various other cakes as part of the Pankhurst exhibit, I was slowly

In the fifth of a series of articles charting a year-long heritage project that aims to document the history of Woodford Memorial Hall, Deborah Aloba, the hall's Heritage Engagement Officer, recounts her preparations for a recent visit by the Bishop of Chelmsford she immediately understood.

speech about Churchill and Sylvia Pankurst’s lives and we now had the Churchill Room and Pankhurst Hall.

Having arrived back with Heather, I realised that the bishop was due to arrive shortly.

I dashed back to check on the exhibition and, of course, Georgina had everything under control. Suddenly, I heard the bishop’s voice. Another quick

Though Helen Pankhurst, Sylvia Pankhurst’s granddaughter, and Churchill’s grandchildren had been invited, unfortunately they were unable to attend. There was a lovely moment when Tony, who had been the leader of the Young Conservatives in the 1960s, confirmed to the bishop that during the late 1950s and 1960s Churchill came and gave talks at the hall in the very room that was being named after him.

Churchill came and gave talks in the 1960s in the very room that was being named after him… becoming anxious as I had promised to pick up Heather to enjoy the festivities and meet the bishop. I now realised I would be leaving the original Minute Books of the Trustees, letters and accounts going back to 1899 and these could be removed or damaged during my absence. What was I to do? People were now looking around the exhibition. Suddenly, Georgina was there. I quickly explained the situation and, due to her work as a researcher,

Suddenly, there was a bit of a surge as the bishop and Rector Ian Tarrant made their way to the front hall. A short speech about the Roberts brothers and their achievements and the bishop opened the curtains on the first plaque. A further

Then up the stairs to the Upper Hall, which was renamed the Birchnall Hall in the presence of Bob Birchnall’s widow and daughter. All that was then left was for the bishop to sit down to a delicious tea that Jackie had prepared. There was a lovely

moment when the bishop went over to talk to Bob Birchnall’s widow and daughter and, having realised that there wasn’t a chair handy, just knelt down on the floor so that they could speak to him with ease.

Then it was all over. The bishop was leaving and everyone was packing away madly. I went outside to check what was happening and it was totally clear. I thought the old saying ‘many hands make light work’ was indeed true. Rector Tarrant came to double-check that everything was OK, I finished taking down the exhibits and then it was all over. It had been a brilliant day.

Speaking out!

Will you help protect a generation of primary school children?

Caroline Roughley has been visiting local primary schools as part of the NSPCC ‘Speak out. Stay safe’ programme, which has helped teach over 4,500 children across Redbridge to stay safe from abuse

The NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. programme visits primary schools to help children understand what abuse is and how to ask for help.

By sparing two days a month you can help us ensure children can stay safe from abuse.

hildren across Redbridge have been learning about abuse in all its forms, how to stay safe and who to go to for help should they ever need it. The lessons are part of the NSPCC’s ‘Speak out. Stay safe’ programme, which is delivered by trained volunteers through an assembly and a workshop.

Tears of joy for the way these children respond…

It is essential that safeguarding messages are relayed in a lively, interactive way. By the end of the visit, children have had fun, feel empowered and can speak out and stay safe. All sessions are very carefully tailored to suit the age of the children involved.

As an area coordinator for the programme in north east London, I know that at least two children in every primary school classroom will have experienced some form of abuse or neglect – a truly shocking statistic. But just imagine if we could give these children the knowledge to prevent abuse, the confidence to speak out and the courage to seek help if they need it.

z Our policy of small classes and a high teacher/pupil ratio is extremely successful. z Examination results are consistently good.

By visiting every school every two years, we could prevent children from experiencing abuse, one generation at a time.

z We invite applications throughout the school.

You are welcome to view the school at any time.

The service launched in 2011 after research showed the majority of children who contact ChildLine are over 11 years of age. Many said that the

abuse had begun years before they picked up the phone.

The programme therefore aims to reach children before abuse starts.

A programme volunteer, Betty Moore, said: “Some of the things children tell us are heartbreaking, but knowing they have come forward and will receive help is the best feeling ever.

More often, I drive home with tears of joy in my eyes for the way these primary age children respond to us – they show care, empathy and an innocence which inspires me to be a better person.”

Dawn Hallybone, deputy headteacher at Oakdale Junior School in South Woodford, said: “The NSPCC offer an informative service to schools.

They are a trusted organisation who are able to give an insight into and help children deal with problems. Our children benefitted from their work around online safety.”

None of this would be possible without the dedication and commitment of volunteers and the NSPCC are currently looking to recruit more volunteers to help continue to deliver this vital service.

Commenting on her experience of volunteering, Betty adds: “The quality of training we receive and the amount of support offered makes this accessible to anyone, whatever background and experience they have.”

hildren’s feet are all very different so it’s important to look at the overall shape of a child’s foot.

Not all bones are formed at birth. The navicular, which is positioned on the top of the foot where the toe bones join, will not form fully until two to five years. Foot growth is rapid for the first five years of life.

Slower development continues until skeletal maturity of the foot, which happens by the age of 13 for girls and 15 for boys.

The final foot length is achieved when maximum height is reached, which is around 18 years old in both genders.

Flat feet is a problem that many parents worry about. Many infants display this condition but it can reduce with age.

About 15% of children will still continue to have this problem in adulthood. If a child’s foot or joints become painful, always

seek medical advice – solutions are often simple.

This all explains the importance of a well-fitted shoe and how ill-fitted shoes can cause misshapen feet and problems later on. It is important to ensure your children’s shoes are fitted and measured accurately to enable healthy foot development. Getting the correct advice will ensure a perfect fit, incorporating both size and style. Always visit a trained member of staff at a reputable shoe store.

Ahead of a family fun day celebrating 30 years of training guide dogs, Mary Duffy from the Redbridge Guide Dogs Training School in Woodford Green offers some insight into the life of a guide dog

Celebrate 30 years of the Guide Dogs Training School Saturday 3rd September 11am - 4pm

T

he Guide Dogs for the Blind Association breeds nearly all of its dogs to ensure that as many pups as possible have the temperament necessary to be a successful guide. Guide dogs must be confident but also biddable and keen to work; they can’t be excitable or nervous. Some of these traits can be selected through breeding. About seven out of 10 puppies we breed become successful guide dogs.

When a puppy is seven weeks old it goes to live with a puppy walker, a volunteer who looks after the puppy in its first year and takes responsibility for its early training, including housetraining and basic obedience.

Puppy walkers socialise the pup by introducing it to people and other animals and take it out and about so it gets used to the different environments it will encounter as a working dog.

Guide dogs have to be happy travelling in cars and on buses and trains; they should know how to behave in restaurants and hotels, theatres, shops and supermarkets. They have to be comfortable negotiating crowded streets, passing building sites and road diggers as they take their owner to school, the office or a football match.

At about 14 months of age, the dog is mature enough to begin its formal training, so it comes to one of four guide dog training schools around the country –

Dog demos Children’s activities Barbecue and refreshments Live music Stalls and much more

including Redbridge – to start its early training.

There are about 90 dogs at the Redbridge school in Woodford Green at any one time. They spend about 16 weeks with us, living in our in-house kennels or with a boarder (volunteers who look after the training dogs in their homes and bring them to the school each day).

Twenty professional guide dog trainers teach the dogs how to walk in a straight line, to avoid obstacles and to stop at kerbs and other changes of ground level, such as steps. They also show them how to judge height and width so that a guide dog owner won’t bump their head or shoulders.

Once they have finished early training, the dogs go on to one of 20 offices around the country for advanced training. Over about 10 weeks, the dogs are taught to use their guiding skills in real life situations and the dog is then matched to a blind or partially sighted person. Matches are made on a number of criteria, including the person’s lifestyle, breed preference and even how quickly they walk. The dog and owner then undergo a final stage of partnership training, when the dog learns how to meet its owner’s specific needs. Once completed, the new guide dog owner pays a nominal 50p fee and the now-qualified guide dog puts on its white harness and a new working partnership begins.

The Redbridge Guide Dogs Training School – which is located at 7 Manor Road, Woodford Green, IG8 8ER – will be celebrating their 30th anniversary on 3 September with a family fun day and dog demonstrations. For more information about volunteering as a puppy walker or boarder, call 0118 983 8802

Although I doubt cats like closed doors be assured that this is just his natural behaviour. He has his own territory, which may only be the length of the garden. He marks it out by rubbing against landmarks and leaving scent trails. Even though he may be warm and secure sitting by the fire, it is necessary for him to go outside for a regular tour of inspection. After a brief survey he can gain knowledge of any other cat’s activities in his area and renew his markings. Then he wants to return to the warmth of indoors. My advice would be to invest in a cat flap.

The Importance of

Hurst House

S

hooting Stars was formed in 2006 and quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, professional theatre for a wide range of audiences. Our summer shows started to take on the form of a small tour – we would produce a classic Shakespeare play but bring it up to date and make it relevant to a modern audience.

With The Importance of Being Earnest, director Helen Crosse aims to emulate that, although staying true to Wilde’s rich text.

Think Made in Chelsea, pure opulence, over-indulgence and the pursuit of power.

The iconic Lady Bracknell will be less bustle and pomp, more fine-tailoring and luxury; the two deceivers of the Earnest name are foppish public school boys, more likely to be found in Jack Wills than lounge suits.

Jack and Algernon will be played by seasoned Shooting Stars actors Peter Steele and Joe Sargent, who have performed respectively as Ratty in our award-winning Tales from the Willows and Romeo in our recent production of Romeo and Juliet.

Although this year marks the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s death, we didn’t want to add to the already overflowing market of Shakespeare this summer, and so decided to present you with something fresh. With the backdrop of the beautiful Hurst House and gardens, we want to show off the setting as much as the story, so as the action occurs in three different places (inside the house, outside the house and at the bottom of the garden),

Ahead of a production of The Importance of Being Earnest in the gardens of Woodford Green’s Hurst House, theatrical producer Greg Williams from the Shooting Stars Theatre Company takes a look at the historic venue and explains why it’s an ideal backdrop for the Oscar Wilde classic

we will take you to different parts of the grounds without a ‘blackout’ and scene change in sight. The audience will also be utilised in a skilful way, making you feel part of the action and adding to the hilarity of the piece (no embarrassing audience participation is promised).

Described as being ‘the best house of Woodford’ But that’s enough about us. We’re equally excited about the venue for these shows, which was once described by the architectural historian Pevsner as being ‘the best house of Woodford’.

Built in 1714 during the reign of Queen Anne, Hurst House – which stands a stones throw from the statue of Sir Winston Churchill on Woodford Green – is one of the few survivors of the many villas and mansions built along ‘Woodford Row’ in the 18th century. The house is an example of the English Baroque style imported from the continent by Sir Christopher Wren. Commissioned by an east London brewer, Henry Raine, it is likely that Hurst House was designed by renowned architect Nicholas Hawskmoor.

Henry Raine chose to build his house in Woodford Row as it

Peter Steele and Joe Sargent rehearse at Hurst House

was an easy horse or carriage ride away from Wapping, the air was clean and the water from the Woodford Wells was safe to drink. Woodford Row was on the well-travelled road that led from Aldgate to the horse racing town of Newmarket in Suffolk. At the time Hurst House was built, the area was attracting bankers, merchants and a number of adventurous businessmen who raised money from investors and had ships built to travel to India and China. They formed the East India Company and traded goods such as cotton, silk, dyes, salt and tea around the world.

We know from advertisements of 1811 that Hurst House had a garden of three acres with a large pond for the breeding of fish. The house was subsequently divided into two dwellings and the large 19th-century Woodford House was built adjoining the

north side, replacing the north wing and stables. A county map of 1939 shows how the garden of Hurst House reduced to one acre for the building of 18 houses on Wensley Avenue, Broomhill Walk and the north side of Forest Approach.

Over its lifetime, the house has evolved through different uses and has consequently undergone a number of modifications to its original form, most significantly in response to a fire in 1936. In 1954 a plan was commissioned from a famous garden designer of the time, Percy Cane, to unify the garden. His winding grass paths through the curved flower beds remain to this day, as does the rose garden with a small ornamental pond at its centre.

The house is currently privately owned by the Munday family and is listed by English Heritage as Grade II*.

Shooting Stars Theatre Company will perform a modern version of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest at Hurst House on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August from 4pm (tickets: £12). For more information and to book tickets, visit shootingstarstheatre.co.uk

moviemakers If you are wondering how to keep the kids occupied during the summer holidays, then Frederick Aiano from the Wanstead and Woodford Movie Makers suggests making your own blockbuster

400+ courses for adults and families

T

here's a box in my garage that should be marked 'things that might have a use', and it's added to weekly.

I had a rummage inside a little while back, determined to throw away some of the items, and came across two small reels of cine film. A surprise, as they go back a long time and have survived several house moves. These mini movies brought about somewhat mixed feelings. I recalled that we were going on a family holiday to Dorset: a borrowed cine camera, these two reels of film and a potential spectacular movie to be made.

more chance. So I had them transferred to digital format.

The DVD showed no magical transformation. The faults were still there, but this time I didn't see them. I just watched the people and the places and relived the holiday with genuine pleasure.

The camera was Russian – its weight suggested it was made from recycled tank parts. Basic, but talent would overcome!

Weather good, camera ready – off to Corfe Castle. First scene: a fight to the death. My two small sons battling it out on the ancient grassy slopes. Twigs doubling as swords. A coach trip: artistic shots from the front seat as we drove down narrow lanes. Around Brown Sea Island: more creative camera work.

Further dazzling footage as the holiday progressed. Then home and eager to view the epic. A borrowed projector, curtains drawn, run the movie. A quick preview. Bitter disappointment, movies quickly discarded – never to be seen again?

With the long school holidays looming, keeping the kids amused without spending a fortune is a challenge. So why not make a movie? Gather your potential cast and crew and let them come up with plots and storylines. Seek out the light sabres or the pirate and princess outfits and shape the movie around the props. Make sure the story has a structure – a beginning, middle and end – and have fun with it. It doesn't matter if there are failures along the way.

These could be the best bits in years to come.

Now these two reels had the nerve to embarrass me further.

They were asking for one

I am biased, but I doubt if there is any other medium that can capture and reflect life in the way that a home movie does. Today it's never been easier – no big heavy cameras. Many families will have mobile phones, tablets and other devices that will do an excellent job.

My club doesn't offer formal tuition, but there is a wealth of knowledge among our members who are always keen to help. So if you want to get the best from your potential blockbuster, come along to one of our meetings and have a chat.

"My worst trip was to Paris, aged 12," remembers Joshua. "I went with my mum, my older sister, her American boyfriend and his mum. It was something of a culture shock for them. I found Paris seedy, although it didn't help that we stayed opposite a brothel (I was unaware) and there were numerous homeless people around, which was sad to see. Unless we were with my sister, who spoke French well, we found people rude and unhelpful. As a 12-yearold, I didn't find the sights

of Paris interesting and I had food poisoning on the train home. My best holiday was to Boston and Canada, visiting family friends. Boston was so interesting, lots of history, and in Canada we visited Banff National Park with its amazing scenery, a lake, snow, skiing and wildlife and we stayed in a posh hotel. We walked down a mountain and heard a bear growling. I also stayed in a resort called Sunshine in a log cabin – all stuffed moose heads and a great fireplace – next to a frozen lake. I loved it."
