March 2013
Trentside News The Church of St Peter, Torksey and is expected to continue for around four months. In the future further works are proposed to install new heating and to provide toilet and kitchen facilities.
R
eaders will be aware from previous editions of Trentside Links, that the Parochial Church Council has proposals to undertake repair and improvement works to the church. Such works are intended not only to preserve the fabric of the building but also, in the longer term, to allow it to be used as a community centre or meeting place. Torksey currently has no such facility. The first stage of the works is now about to begin, with the repair of the tower roof, belfry floor and frame together with a new drainage system. To facilitate this, the PCC has won a substantial grant from the English Heritage/Lottery Fund towards the overall cost, which will exceed £70,000 in total. I am pleased to report that by the time this note is published work will have commenced
Given the difficulty in access to the church there may be some limited inconvenience for local people, that is while materials are being loaded and unloaded from vehicles, but every effort will be made to ensure that this is kept to a minimum. Substantial security has been written into the contract and the police have been made aware of our proposals, but given the increased incidence of local theft, I would ask for everybody who lives close to or passes by the church to please keep a watch and report anything untoward. Richard Farley On behalf of Torksey PCC
New Distributor for Trentside Links
W
e have acquired a new distributor for the magazine: Anne Harris.
Following our message in the previous issue about needing more distributors for the magazine, Anne has stepped forward to deliver copies of the magazine to Kettlethorpe. What’s more, it’s not even her village: she lives at nearby Fenton. So a special thanks to Anne for her community spirit. There are still some vacancies and we invite volunteer distributors for the following areas: •
Park Farm
•
Stow Park
It’s a simple task: every 2 months we deliver a small heap of magazines to you and you then deliver them to homes in your catchment area. If you can help then please call us on 01427 718837 or email trentsidelinks@yahoo.com.

MARTON & GATE BURTON OVER 60s PARTY
T
he Marton and Gate Burton over 60s party first started in 1951, solely funded and run by the village hall committee and open to all over 60s residents of both villages, and their guests. This year’s event was held on Saturday 12th January. Over sixty guests sat down to a tea of cold meats, pork pies, salad, sherry trifle and puddings in abundance. We try to vary the entertainment each year. This year we had a theme 'Marton’s Got Talent'. First on was Sandra Tudor with her young dancing dog Henry. Sandra has just started with Henry, she gave a very good display and a very
4
informative talk on all aspects of training. The ladies of Marton WI gave us their version of Cinderella, a very different and entertaining performance. Lastly, Di Gibbs read out two poems, both very funny. The entertainment concluded with two sessions from Jez singing hits from Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra. Each year we ask a special guest to cut the cake and this year we asked Margaret Scott. Margaret has lived in the village for over sixty years and has been involved in many forms of village life, the WI and the
church and supports the village hall at all of its events. The evening concluded with a quiz and raffle, a royal toast to the Queen. A toast to the Committee and helpers was proposed by Andrew Hancock of Gate Burton. On leaving the party all guests were given sweets and oranges kindly donated by Sue Moody, a tradition started by the Sunday school at Christmas parties a long time ago. Chairman of Marton & Gate Burton village hall, David Smith, said people had said it was one of the best over 60s parties we have had in recent years, a really good community 'do'. He would like to thank all helpers and all the people who donated raffle prizes.

Knaith Snowdrop Walk
O
n Sunday the 17th of February John & Rosie Burke once again hosted the annual Snowdrop Walk at Knaith Hall. After months of damp, cold conditions we were blessed with a glorious sunny day which lifted the spirits and gave us hope that perhaps better weather will come our way in 2013. Despite the recent flooding the ground was mostly firm under foot which meant the full walk up to the Chateau could be undertaken. The route started with a small trek up the hill to the red cliffs and after a short hop over the fence into the wood you could enjoy the views through the yew tunnel across the Trent Vale. As you emerged from the yew tunnel walkers could take a small break and admire the impressive structure of the Chateau before taking the walk back down to Knaith Hall.
At the end of the walk we were greeted by the prospect of tea, coffee and home made cakes to recharge the batteries and there were also books on sale in St Mary's Church. All proceeds for the day went towards the Lincolnshire Churches Trust and in total £1280 was raised. More information on the work of the trust can be found at www.lincolnshirechurchestrust.org

T
he long-awaited Sunbeams Preschool and Kids' Club opened at Newton on Trent Church of England Primary School on Wednesday 9th January 2013. Sunbeams, which is part of the Sunflowers Nursery group from Saxilby, is currently open all day for children aged two and above on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, though more sessions may be added at a later date as demand grows. Children from the school can attend Kids' Club after school where they can be cared for until 6pm. They will all be sampling a delicious breakfast at Sunbeams in the next few weeks to tempt them to come along to the Breakfast Club in future. The Pre-school/Kids' Club is a bright, welcoming and well-equipped facility in its own self-contained block. Sunbeams and the primary school
Newton on Trent Church of England Primary School is holding a Shared Golden Time on Friday 22nd March where parents of existing Reception and Key Stage 1 children are welcome between 8.30am and 10pm, as well as parents of children joining us in September, or indeed anyone who lives locally and is looking for a place at school or pre-school in the future. Sunbeams will be open for visitors then too so you can come and see what is on offer there as well as in the school. We hope you will join us on that day.
I
n the minds of local birdwatchers the winter of 2012/13 will be remembered as a classic ‘waxwing winter’ with hoards of these berry-munching visitors arriving from Scandinavia and the Trentside Links area didn’t miss out. In Marton, where I live, a flock of 17 were present on 16 December and fed on cotoneaster berries and apples. Another flock appeared, 18 this time, on 22 February and stayed until the next day and fed on rose hips. Other flocks were also noted in Gainsborough, Knaith and Newton on Trent.

The Last Baronets of Old Gainsborough St James's Place Foundation, which distributes funds that benefit children and raised in excess of £5m in 2012. The untold story of the Anderson family, their connection to the Hickman-Bacon family is brought back to life together with the homes they once lived in. The Andersons’ home stood in historic parkland and was sadly demolished in 1973 after the property was purchased by the parish council. Once the hall had been cleared the grounds became a public space and were declared open during May Day celebrations, which were opened by popular TV journalist Miss Marilyn Webb, who stood in after a government minister pulled out of the engagement, sending his apologies.
I
am delighted to confirm that the Candlemas reception held at The Lindens to launch ‘The Last Baronets’ was a resounding success. Around 50 people attended including the chairman of West Lindsey District Council, Jessie Milne, and chairman of the Friends of The Old Hall Association, Paul Howitt-Cowan. The setting of the launch was the recently restored Dower House of the Anderson family, who once resided at Lea Hall. The attentive audience enjoyed champagne and canapés with an introduction by author Darron Childs, followed by a most illuminating talk by Paul Howitt-Cowan, who commended the publication and what it aims to achieve. The event also held a charity raffle and raised over £130 for The

Onwards & Upwards
S
andra Moody, Marton’s village hall caretaker and Trentside Links distributor, is moving, but luckily not too far so you will still see her out-and-about. I know you will join us on wishing her good luck in her new venture. The phone number for booking remains the same. "I would like to say a very big thank you for all the cards and gifts I’ve received and good wishes from everyone for the move to our new home. A special thank you to all those who have helped move all our belongings, I couldn’t have done it without you. My mum was caretaker for a while, her and Dad moved there in approximately 1948. The cottage then had a loft ladder to the upstairs. Mum had to lift two pot belly stoves to heat the hall and a copper was in what is now the committee room so she could do her weekly wash! The photo is of the hall as I remember it when I was little, before the big extension was built. I had my 21st birthday party there and went to numerous wedding receptions, discos and Sunday school Christmas parties. It looks quite different now and I’m glad they did away with those pot belly stoves. I moved in on the 12th April 1999 and have enjoyed helping with the running of the hall and being the caretaker. Thank you to everyone again it is so n ice to be thought of in such a special way." Sandra Moody Marton

Floods...What Floods?
O
ur thanks to Frank Harris of Fenton who sent in this picture of the river Trent at Laneham which was so low that you could almost walk across it. But when was this taken, the heatwave of 1976? No, March 2012 just before the hosepipe ban started and the heavens opened (& did not shut!). What a difference a year makes.

Tracing our Family Roots
L
ast Wednesday evening over 40 people decided they wanted to know more about tracing their family roots and where to start, and Irving Woolley was the man to put them on the right path. Irving's enthusiasm soon rubbed off onto those present and he had the audience in the grip of how easy it is to retrace your steps over 200 years AND without having to pay huge sums of money to do so - something we all wanted to know! After a few minutes we were all beginning to realise that this project we have had hanging around for years may just now be possible. We were introduced to three or four internet programmes, all of which would offer results at very little cost, if not for free, and Irving used part of his family to show how we could easily find family members by learning to read birth, marriage and death certificates and using the information contained within them to our advantage. Irving has a head full of really useful
information together with little snippets which may have eluded most of us. For example, it wasn't until after 1911 that the mother's maiden name was added on a birth certificate and the 1911 census returns show the length of a marriage, which in turn helps to then look for a wedding date of said person. Throughout the whole of the presentation Irv kept everyone involved and added in the odd piece if humour. Basically he made us all realise that tracing your family is a huge but thoroughly enjoyable mystery programme and more often than not you find out much more than you possibly bargained for and you definitely get hooked. Many thanks again to Irv for his time in both putting the presentation together and giving us all a most enjoyable evening. Should anyone wish to make contact with Irv to gain more information you can do so on - aussieirv@live.co.uk
Torksey Ramblers We meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 10.30 am at the top car park of the Elms Residential Park. Our walks take about 1 to 1.5 hours covering 3 to 4.5 miles.

Additional Resources for Tracing Your Family Tree
N
o doubt you will know someone who has traced their family tree, or seen one of the episodes of 'Who Do You Think You Are?' and been inspired to begin delving into your own roots. Yet for the uninitiated beginner, starting to research one's ancestors can be a daunting, difficult and confusing task. A good starting point is the BBC's own guide as part of their history microsite and can be found at the following link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ familyhistory/get_started/ But be warned - this type of research can become seriously addictive and you don't know what kind of family secrets you may uncover - happy hunting!

Trentside Bygones Island Inn at Torksey
I
n the last edition of the magazine we featured some photos of the flooding that hit the Trentside area. This prompted Trentside Links reader, Suzanne Langford, to send in this article from the Lincolnshire Echo dated Saturday January 21st 1939. “Island Inn at Torksey” Inn surrounded by water. Main road submerged. Rising water threatens to cut off main road communications between Torksey and Marton on the Lincoln/ Gainsborough road.
He added that the water in the Trent at Marton was still very high and until it went down there would be no improvement in the floods. The water is still rising steadily, and if the rain of this morning continued there was a possibility that the flooding would become worse. Mr Denby said the water was three or four inches deep in his cellar and thought that it would be at least a week before the water got away. Threat to Road Traffic Parts of Torksey golf course are still under water and play is impossible on
several greens, although the clubhouse could be reached without difficulty this morning. Between Marton and Torksey, near the drain which runs under the main road, water covered the road for a distance of 40 yards, and the depth of the water in some places in that stretch was between six inches and a foot. Notices warning motorists of flooding were posted at each end of the stretch and an R.A.C guide was on duty there.
The Castle Inn at Torksey is now on an island surrounded on every side by water. To reach the front door it is necessary to pull up a car right to the doorstep although people cycling or wearing gumboots can reach the house. The inn has been threatened by floods since Christmas, but it is only in the last day or so that water has been standing on the road, and is now over six inches deep, and cars passing through it make a big bow-wave. By Boat Across Fields Mr Tom Denby, the licensee, told an Echo reporter today that two of his customers last night travelled from Torksey Lock across the fields in a boat to the inn.

The Chateau...Restored
O
n the recent Knaith Snowdrop Walk we were treated to superb views of ‘The Chateau’ which can be seen on your left as you drive from Gate Burton to Gainsborough on the A156. This magnificent building, built in 1747-8, has a varied history but by 1982 and after a number of years natural decay and attacks by vandals, it was taken over by the Landmark Trust for restoration. These recently discovered newspaper clippings given to Trentside Links highlight the work undertaken to restore the building to its former glory. A more detailed history of ‘The Chateau’ was featured in issue 153 of Trentside Links which can be read online or downloaded in pdf format from the link below.

School Days Memories of Newton on Trent School
M
r Minnitt phoned the Trentside Links to say that some past pupils of the school had reached, or were nearing their 90th year. In today’s fast-moving world people can and often do move around the country, so it is something very special that the following nonagenarians still reside in and around Newton on Trent.
Hilda Wilmot 94yrs
Beryl Wilmot 93
Jim Wilmot 92 Gladys Bayes nee Stimpson 91 Sarah Lidgett nee Arden 90
Roy Wade
Albert Horton
Betty Arden We spoke to some of these ex-pupils, Gladys Bayes, Joyce Cupit & Sarah Lidgett, and asked them to recall what life was like in their school years at Newton on Trent school. The school then was not just an infant and junior school like it is today, you could stay on at the school until you were 14 at which time you left and started work. It was erected at the expense of Lord Kinloch in 1855. Gladys recalls how her great uncle, George Clark who was a Newton on Trent man, gave the school to the village in 1921 so that the village would never be without a school. George was born on the 15th April 1857, he used to work for the Grimes' but he later moved away to Sheffield. After talking to two steelwork
March 2013
managers who came to Newton to fish, it is said that despite his love of the country he was “fired with a desire to come to Sheffield”. In 1882 George Clark founded a steel fabrication company. From his humble origins George Clark became a well-known and much-respected Sheffield figure. He represented Nether Hallam on the city council for 30 years and was made a magistrate in 1928. George died in 1936 but his legacy lives on. Conditions at the school when the girls were there was very different than it is today. They recall how there was a pump outside for water with little worms in, milk came straight from the cow with complementary hair! The toilets were also outside (two large and one small one) and there was a wash bowl with some carbolic soap (Lifebuoy) and a very dirty towel to dry your hands on. There was no electricity and they had oil lamps to help them see. They were kept warm with a coal fire. They recall how Miss Florence Perry was the head teacher and how she was a lovely story teller, telling stories from books such as Children of the New Forest and BlackEyed Dennis. As she weaved these magical tales the children got a glimpse of her knee caps so there was only one thing to do, and so they knitted her knee cap covers! Miss Perry lived in the school house with her elderly mother, there was a door from the classroom through to her house so she would set them a test and slip through the door to get her mother some dinner. Gladys remembers how she would wait until she was gone and then they would all look at the answers on her desk. Sarah Lidgett also recalled how she was very good at mental arithmetic, "You had to answer a question and the person who was the quickest left the classroom first and it was nearly always me" she says, but sometimes she would tell Edgar the answer and he would throw her a sweet.
Joyce Cupit nee Worthington 90 in July
Edgar’s aunty, Miss Doris Kyme, went to the school in 1908 and in 1914 she became a 'monitress' (pupil teacher) and then between 1918-1969 she was assistant teacher for 61 years at the school. She also ran the Methodist Sunday school for many years and played the harmonium at the chapel.

Miss Perry was the head teacher at the school from 1913 until 1935 and she was followed by Mrs Margery Bingham who was temporary and left after a year. In 1936 the school had another temporary head called Mrs Gladys Peck who left in 1937. In 1940 a Miss Margery Coupe arrived from Leeds with some refugees and they stayed at Hall Farm. Miss coupe was an assistant teacher at the school but when the children left Miss Coupe stayed and married an Arthur Moore from Laughterton. In 1946 she became head teacher and moved into the school house. Joyce recalls how a few years ago some evacuees came back to Newton on Trent to see her, Elsie, Edna and Irene Wilson, "It was so lovely to see them again, such a lovely surprise!" Lots of events went on at the vicarage opposite which was then the residence of Reverend Samuel Stable. Mrs Stable used to run the penny bank at school. Sarah Lidgett remembers dancing round the maypole and having to sit underneath it and hold on to it to keep it from toppling over. Mr Bacon was the attendance officer and used to come to the school. Miss Perry was very deaf and the children would be chatting away but Mr Bacon used to say “Be quiet children I am not deaf ”. Gladys laughs and says “I was 14 on the 5th of November and I thought, that’s that I’ve left school, so I went to Wilmot’s farm to pick carrots, but Mr Bacon had other ideas and spoke to my mother who told me I had to give up the job and go back to school until Christmas”

Monkeys all. The children at Newton School were entertained when a horse arrived with a monkey on its back!

After-school activities consisted of dancing with Mrs Rees on a Monday night, there were also games to be had like paper chase where you drop paper down for someone else to follow your trail, sometimes this would end up as far a Park Farm! “We used to play all over” says Joyce. Joyce’s mother was a dinner lady at the school for two years and so Joyce followed suit and stayed for 32 years “I enjoyed it so much I didn’t want to leave”. It is wonderful to think that these people have been in each other’s lives for so long and no doubt been through a lot together, so it is no wonder great friendships were forged. Joyce and Gladys are still the best of friends and love to reminisce about their school days. "We never argue" say Gladys "We know each other so well."

Trentside Reports
F
Reports from the Kettlethorpe & District Women's Institute
ebruary 2013 - It seemed very early to be thinking about June but members were talking about what we shall do for the Lincolnshire Show - after which we were told that October 8th will be the date for our 40th birthday dinner this year! However, to keep ourselves amused before then there will be a theatre trip to see 'The Pyjama Game' in April, and next month a fashion show at South Clifton WI. The speaker for the evening was Mr Adrian Raynor-Krill, who brought along some weighty pieces of armour as used by the Roman gladiators, together with swords, a huge helmet, shield, boots and body protection. Those of us who handled these could not even imagine standing up fully dressed in them let alone actually move! The more he told us about the gladiators (not at all like films from Hollywood) the more I thought about modern football. Leaving aside that most were either criminals or slaves, the similarities were surprising, although of course they had no choice but to train and obey their masters until death, which was often not long coming. They earned good money and could retire perhaps after five years, had thousands of fans and
were revered by them. Those responsible for the trained teams had enormous power over them, instilled bravery by contempt for death and took the view that the brutality of it all prepared men for the field of battle. It wasn't only in Rome, though the Manchester United-kind of games were held there, but in every sizeable place gladiators performed from 264 BC until 404, by which time they 'fizzled out'. They drew crowds everywhere, some wished their favourites to get killed, or if the crowd was with them others were encouraged - even asked, for a reprieve if it was a fight to the death, but many fights had a time limit and the fact was that it grew into entertainment quite quickly. Some were actually volunteers as it grew to fame, becoming very rich and powerful themselves. Actors were popular and aristocrats had to be stopped! Rather like today men became celebrities and were bought and sold between various 'clubs' like players are today. Betting was popular but there were two things which match nothing in our time. One was that pairs were matched, one wearing all the heavy armour with a sword but unable to move quickly or see round corners, the other wearing little at all, carrying a large net and a threepronged weapon. He could move quickly and try to catch his opponent in the net. You will be amazed that women also
lived this life - and apparently were pretty savage in their fights! The raffles went to Mary Vinden, Yvonne Smalley, Sylvia Johnson and Barbara Gilbert. Vivienne Elliott and Lynda Mullally won first and second prize for a Roman-associated article. Elise Hawker Lea

The Vicar Writes
A
s I was writing this, my wife, Steph, returned from a baptism in Marton Church. Her sudden arrival broke my train of thought, which was a nuisance as I had written about half my piece, but there was nothing else to be done. Like an idiot I had not saved the work so it was completely lost. I would have to start all over again, but how? What had I been writing about? The more I thought about it, the further what I had been writing slipped from my mind. Instead, prompted no doubt by Steph's return, my thoughts turned towards baptism. In our eight churches we baptise between 35 and 40 people each year. Most of them are babies. Some would say that to baptise young infants as we do is wrong. The essential qualification for baptism, they say, is to believe in God, because it is the rite of entry into the community of faith. So how can you become a member of that community if you cannot give assent to its beliefs? Clearly a small baby cannot say it believes anything. He or she can laugh, cry, chuckle, coo and scream, but can't say they believe in God or Jesus. So why do we baptise very young children? How can we justify such a practice that seems to fly in the face of common sense? Well it may fly in the face of common sense, but I'm glad that the church I belong to baptises babies. Like many men I'm not particularly interested in babies. When you've seen one you've seen them
18
all, I used to think, and they weren't very attractive either. I upset a colleague when training to be a vicar by saying his newly born daughter looked like a walnut. Yet, since becoming a vicar, and being given the privilege of conducting baptisms, I have come to see how shallow my previous opinion of young children was. I must have christened getting on for a thousand young people in my time, and, surprise each one has been different, each one unique. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes cry, sometimes they pinch my glasses and smack me round my face. Sometimes they sleep all the way through it, and sometimes they fill their nappies just as they are christened. But whatever they do each one of them is very special, and here comes the rub, as they are christened we demonstrate that they are loved and valued by God just as they are. God's love for them and God's commitment to them isn't dependent on what they believe, or what they say. It depends entirely on their being his children, loved into existence by him in his loving providence, and held in high value by him because they are his children. The children he has made. So I'm glad we christen very young children in the Church of England, because each time I baptise a baby I am reminded that our acceptance by God depends not on weak and faltering faith in him but on his great faith and commitment to us.

New Bransby Name, Same Great Charity!
F
or the first time in its forty-five year history, Bransby Home of Rest for Horses has decided to update its name to better reflect the nature of the work it carries out. The charity is now going to be known simply as ‘Bransby Horses’ and has also developed a more modern logo to go with its new name As the General Manager of Bransby Horses, Jo Snell, explains “With more than 150 new animals coming into our care last year, almost entirely from situations of cruelty and neglect, the charity’s trustees agreed that we are so much more than a ‘home of rest’”.
Although in the past, Bransby has occasionally taken on the care of horses because their owners can no longer care for them, increasing demand for its rescue and rehabilitation work means that Bransby now has to reserve available space for welfare cases. As Jo points out, “We are living in tough times and Bransby must continue to evolve if we are to help even more of those animals that are most in need”. The majority of new arrivals to Bransby in 2012 were younger animals who have the potential to enjoy a full life and who definitely don’t have resting uppermost in their mind! As always, Bransby’s Friend for Life re-homing scheme will offer many of these horses and ponies a new lease of life in a carefully selected and monitored foster home. But regardless of the charity’s growth and development, Bransby is still absolutely committed to being one of the few equine charities able to offer permanent,

caring sanctuary to significant numbers of rescued equines that are older, have incurable health problems or longterm behavioural issues. Jo concludes “Bransby Horses will always provide a home of rest to those animals that need it, but we hope that our new name conveys how much more the charity achieves.” For further information please contact Helen Whitelegg on 07780 990620 / 01427 782710 or at helen@bransbyhorses.co.uk

March 2013 Some ideas are presented below: 1) Hospitality
Community Support in 2013
I
t is clear that, due to financial constraints, there is a transference from the State of provision for the vulnerable. This is happening at the current time, alongside rising prices for utilities and food. This has particularly impacted on three groups - the elderly, the disabled and families on low incomes. There are many statistics available for the possible impact also of benefit changes due to commence in 2013. These show that these groups will be particularly affected by this once more. For example, Barnardo's (7.02.2013) has published a report that shows that many working families will lose money and pay to work, in fact, if they work and need childcare www.barnardos.org.uk/publication-view. jsp?pid=PUB-1921 Also, the 2011 census revealed an increase over the last decade in the
20
number of carers in England and Wales from 5.2 to 5.8 million, with 2.1 million providing more than 20 hours' care a week. These will all be impacted by change to benefits. Although our area appears to be thriving, it may be the case that there is hidden poverty known to all of us privately as individuals but not shown publicly. It is clear that this poverty will indeed eventually impact our community and means that many people within it will suffer. This situation needs our help, both as individuals, which we do well, but also as a whole church response. There are many things that the church working together can do to restore community health and support the most at risk. These fall into three main areas: 1) Hospitality 2) Aid 3) Education
The church is known for its warm welcome to others. A meal, the Eucharist, is at the heart of our spiritual life and many social events also include this element. We could therefore build on the coffee morning provision available through our churches to consider offering the premises if warm for a 'bring and share' lunch. This would keep people's dignity, help people to be generous and also feed perhaps some of those in need for one meal on one day. If this was run for a trial period, the need for further such initiatives could then be assessed. 2) Aid Here some parts of the country have started Community Larders. These work well but require massive storage and also manpower facilities. The church in Alford however has a Community Chest which comprises of no such needs. A small group of people act as a committee to allocate funds raised from individuals to other individuals in need in the community. The recipients are referred by social workers, doctors and priests on grounds of need alone and considered by the committee. If successful, and this appears to be nearly always the case, they are phoned and a member of the committee takes them to the local Co-op with a trolley and they are told to get what they need for the next fortnight. Apparently, this has never been abused as they are so grateful. The shopping is paid for at the desk by the committee member who does this tactfully. This seems to be a good idea and a concerned person has said that they will be willing to set up the charitable status required and perhaps
Trentside Links oversee the financial aspects for us if we wish. Funds would have to be raised but apparently this has not been a problem in Alford and it could be practical here also as there is much goodwill in our area.

3) Education We in West Lindsey are to pilot the system of online application for benefits which will apply in future. Therefore it seems important that responsible people be prepared to give local assistance to vulnerable individuals going through this process. We could offer perhaps family finance days (on a Saturday for working families) and maybe form-filling mornings for those without computers. This obviously would need coordination with those with the knowledge and expertise to do this but we could at least offer premises to expert help for people and perhaps too some volunteer help which would have to be responsible and confidential. I have at least one CRBchecked volunteer willing to help with this on a regular basis, say once a month.
The full archive of Trentside Links magazine is now available online via Issuu.
These three aspects of life are fitting and appropriate for the church to consider and are within the remit of our Gospel of good news to the world.
Browse and read previous versions of the magazine online*1 and download them for off-line reading or printing via a pdf*2 document.
I trust that the group will consider these suggestions seriously and decide as a matter of priority our approach to the world around us in 20I3. If we work well together, our community will be enriched. However, if we do nothing, there will be an inevitable division, between those who are doing well and those who are not, within this community also, with fear and distrust being engendered on both sides. Please pray and seriously consider your own response to these initiatives as fellow servants of Jesus Christ and contact me also if you wish to comment.
