Remembrance Sunday, 8 November
While we continue to remember the centenary of World War I this year, see Wendover Remembers on page 9, we also remembered the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain which changed the course of World War II. Wendover’s Remembrance Parade traditionally happens from 2.30pm on the Manor Waste. This year the Wendover Remembers Wall Hanging, see article on page 9 of August edition, will be paraded for the first time. It will also be displayed in St Mary’s Church during the Let the Chilterns Sing Concert on Saturday 21 November, see also article on page 7. An explanatory booklet will be given to each person who helped sew the Wall Hanging and accompany the Wall Hanging as it is displayed by various organisations which helped create it before it finds its resting place on display for all to see.

November 1915
The cold winter weather set in on the Western Front and large scale offensives were abandoned. Even so, trench raids and other minor operations were encouraged and the casualties continued to mount. In the Balkans the German, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian forces inflicted heavy losses on the Serbian army and Serbia fell. The fourth battle of the Isonzo started in Italy. In Britain, voluntary enlistment was failing to keep pace with army requirements. A scheme was introduced by Lord Derby, the Director of Recruitment, whereby men between the ages of 18 to 41 were asked to state their willingness to serve. They would be called up in succession, single men first and older married men last. The scheme, administered by local “influential and tactful men”, collapsed when it became clear that half the single men had failed to register. It was the failure of the Derby scheme that made conscription inevitable in January 1916.
In Wendover, Thomas Carter, who had served in the Boer War and was the local blacksmith, was one of the “Influential and tactful men” appointed to oversee the Derby scheme in the village. It was his job to record the population of the parish, establish the number of eligible men and encourage those who had not yet enlisted to register. The effect of the Derby scheme was, at least, to prompt a further influx of volunteers. Nine Wendover men enlisted together in November 1915. They varied in age between 15 and 45 and they came from families who, for generations, had been involved in the preparation and distribution of hay. They were known as the “Hay Tiers”. There was a desperate need for fodder for the horses in France and the nine men joined the Forage Department of the Army Service Corps. They were to serve only in Britain. A uniform was provided, but they were obliged to pay up to three shillings a week for it. The younger members of the group were allowed to be with the Forage Department for one year or until they became eligible for normal enlistment. In November, normal Parish affairs continued. The Parish Council received a letter from the Vicar requesting three shillings per month rent for the use of rooms. The Council asked that the sum should be three shillings with light and

fire and, without them, two shillings. Counsellor Tarry thought that the Council should find somewhere else to meet, but when Counsellor Hubbard asked him if he knew of another room he had to admit that he did not. After a few weeks of discussion, it was agreed in December that the Parish Council should pay three shillings in winter and two in summer. Mike Senior & Val Moir

HS2 Wendover petitioners are still being heard and the hearings will spill into November. It is possible we may not hear what the Select Committee are going to do for Wendover before the end of the year. Good luck to those still to appear.
Secondly, at the moment, the lack of definition is a risk. The Select Committee may consider it too nebulous – more conceptual rather than a serious proposal requiring a decision. Or they may chose to pursue it but using the more definitive HS2 proposal which does not help the north side of the One of the subjects being discussed is the town. This is probably why the Wendover idea of a Wendover-only tunnel. This is Society is looking to get some engineering being promoted by The Wendover Society input. who believes a Chiltern AONB long tunnel option is a non-starter given that the Select If the Wendover Society team achieves a Committee were not convinced in July. tunnel for Wendover with the right portal Therefore they have been looking at a draft location in the north that will be a great option by HS2 for a 3995m tunnel as the basis result. Another proposal which is evolving is of their proposal. The northern portal of this the idea of boring a tunnel from the south option is actually 50m closer to Wendover (at only (rather than starting at both ends).

The Wendover Society recognises that There would be a need to increase the a tunnel portal moving closer to Wendover boring rate from the 80m a week used by would not be popular, making the position HS2 Ltd. to 90m which actually is still lower worse on the north side of Wendover. They than the recognised benchmarks. This idea have therefore proposed that the portal would take longer to bore than the current could be up to 500m further north, thus proposal but the time could be recovered protecting that side of the town, although by fitting out the tunnel from both ends. By they have not defined just where it should doing this the programme schedule would be or the minimum distance it should be not be impacted. The beauty of this is that from the town. the incremental bored tunnel would only The challenge facing them is twofold. Firstly, like all the other tunnel promoters they believe that the costs as supplied by HS2 Ltd. are over-stated. At £267M (HS2 figure) for a bored tunnel it is not cheap and if the tunnel is being extended to the north by say 500m to protect the town, that will add to the cost. Now it could be shorter to save money but that means it would have to emerge into a cutting somewhere along the line and possibly change the cost dynamics.

without needing major maintenance. The argument over boring rates will also have to be won. Both approaches face the major challenge of either getting HS2 Ltd to admit they are wrong or the Select Committee to tell HS2 to just do it – give us a tunnel. HS2 Ltd is holding an information event from 11.00 to 4.00 on 7 November at the Memorial Hall. So please turn up and ask them awkward questions such as: • what are they doing to protect the springs around Wendover • why do their tunnel boring machines go so slowly – with the channel tunnel they reached 140m a week v 80m used by HS2 (and being the wrong sort of chalk is only part of the answer). Brian Thompson HS2 Ltd say we will be able to “talk to experts about engineering, construction, property, the environment and more; see maps and plans of the project, and ask questions and explore the proposals in more detail” at their information event on 7 November.

Private Pumps Pump Hunt For Sewage Station Owners • Thames Water to take on the responsibility of 4,000 sewage pumping stations from property owners and managers • Utility will take over electricity and maintenance costs under new legislation, potentially saving customers thousands of pounds • Firm appeals for help tracking 1,800 ‘missing’ stations • Thames Water is appealing to customers to help identify privately owned sewage pumping stations. The utility, which serves 15 million customers across London and the Thames Valley, will take responsibility for around 4,000 pumping stations in October 2016, but needs to track down 1,800 currently off its radar.
The pumping stations are all shapes and sizes, and can be in places where there are a number of properties needing to connect to the public sewer network. Customers will know they have one as they’ll be paying to maintain and power them. Jerry White, of Thames Water, said: “This is really good news for customers. We’d urge anyone who thinks they may have one to get in touch so we can check they are eligible for the transfer of ownership. In some cases, as well as electricity savings, maintaining and replacing pumps can cost thousands of pounds so it’s an excellent deal for them. We believe we know where approximately half of the stations we need to take over are, but really need help to find the other 1,800. Please get in touch if you think this applies to you and we can take on the responsibility forever.”
New legislation means sewage pumping stations, which power wastewater away from properties and out into the public sewer pipe network, currently owned and maintained Anyone with a private pumping station can by customers, will become legally owned and make Thames Water aware at thameswater. operated by the local water company. co.uk/pumphunt.

Business Forum Chiltern Double Fifty
from every pint sold will be donated to the societies.
Ale to celebrate 50 golden years launched on 22 September This year both The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Chiltern Society are celebrating 50 glorious years of helping to protect the tranquil landscape of the beautiful Chiltern Hills. We were delighted to be approached by both organisations jointly and invited to brew a special draught ale to commemorate these landmark anniversaries. The resulting beer, Chiltern Double Fifty, named by Larry Griffiths, a member of the public in a free naming competition, is an autumn dark amber ale 4.2% vol with complex and rich smooth roast malt and citrus aromas. Chiltern Double Fifty will be widely available in pubs across the local region as well as the Chiltern Brewery Shop at Terrick and 5p
“It’s definitely Double Fifty not out,” says our Head Brewer Tom Jenkinson. “We want these fantastic organisations to be around for as long as possible to help protect our wonderful rural landscape. Working and living in The Chiltern Hills is a very important part of the Brewery and those who work here. It is this foundational aspect which lends its style and character to our beers as well as being a huge inspiration for us. It’s great as well to be able to give something in return.” The Chiltern Hills have long been one of one of England’s most beautiful landscapes and in 1965 this was officially recognised when 309 square miles of the Chilterns were designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. AONB’s belong to the same family as National Parks representing some of the finest landscapes in the UK. The Chilterns Conservation Board is the public body responsible for promoting and conserving the Chilterns AONB and is delighted to be working

Business Forum with their close partner The Chiltern Society to celebrate the 50th anniversaries of both the AONB and the Society this year. “The Chilterns have some wonderful local products and creating a special anniversary beer with The Chiltern Brewery, the oldest independent brewery in the area and itself celebrating 35 years this year, seems a very fitting way to mark this golden year for the Chiltern Hills. It’s certainly a ‘refreshing’ way to engage with the public at a time when our local countryside faces increased pressure,” said a society spokesperson. The Chiltern Society is the only registered charity dedicated to conserving and caring for the Chilterns’ unique landscape. It has 7,000 members and 500 volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain and improve the Chilterns for the benefit of all. Over the last 50 years it has contributed 163,000 hours of volunteering, acquired and improved 12 important nature reserves and heritage sites and maintained over 7,000 miles of footpaths and cycleways.
The Chiltern Brewery is the oldest independent brewery in the area. From the very start the ethos at The Chiltern Brewery has been to brew natural, wholesome beers using 100% British ingredients - the best Class A malt and hops with great provenance and to mirror age old brewing methods. Chiltern Double Fifty uses Goldings, Fuggles and Cascade hops, Maris Otter malt, Crystal and roast barley for a truly “special” anniversary brew.

You Write Thank You Very Much
Thanks to family and friends for attending my husband Derek Beecham’s funeral. Thank you to Heritage and Sons Funeral Directors and Vicar Mark Dearnley for a fitting service, and also to Pat & Pauline at The Pack Horse for the lovely food. We were able to raise a wonderful donation for Florence Nightingale Hospice in lieu of flowers. Olive Beecham & family
Inconsiderate Parking
I find myself again pleading with drivers to be more considerate when parking around The Pack Horse PH, Clay Lane and The Poplars. Cars are continuing to park on the footpaths and blocking the lowered curbs resulting in pedestrians walking on the road. Drivers are also parking opposite residents driveways which then blocks their access as the lanes are very narrow. Some drivers are parking on the corner of Clay Lane on the path outside the Pack Horse which then blocks the line of sight needed to safely pull out onto the main Tring Road. At some point either the Parish Council or Police need to take action in order to reduce the risks associated with this type of antisocial parking. Dannela Rocco
Thanks from Orchard Green
I would like to thank everyone who attended the Orchard Green Open House on Sunday
6 September. We raised just over £1000 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. Many thanks to Debbie Tolputt from Taste for organising the cakes and teas and also to the following people who donated the cakes Katy Glover, Amanda Deer, Sally Tompkins, Debbie Tolputt, Lady Grey, Whitewaters, Budgens, No 2 and Kings Farm. Helen Yabsley
Noise & Speed
I read with interest the Robert Duggan (Chairman WPC) article on noise and speed on the by-pass in the Wendover News September edition. It is good to know that the police are involved in the motorbike problems we all suffer from. But like everything there is a downside, at least for us in our post code along the A413, where the problem has shifted to. After all, we are still Wendover despite some forgetting on occasions. It looks as though the offenders have moved to us having been tackled on the by-pass, and the same is happening down to the Missenden by-pass according to feedback from residents living behind the railway station. After many months we have a lighting speed sign in one direction (still not convinced that it is working) but if anything, this appears to have increased the noise and speed on this section of the A413 especially at weekends. John Cole
Save the Children Thanks
A big “thank you” to everyone who donated during our street collection in Wendover on Saturday 6 September. We collected £243 and this has been forwarded to this year’s Refugee Crisis Appeal. Christine Baker, STC local Branch

Hundreds of people attended the event and six conducted tours of the current restoration site were arranged throughout the day. They were able to see volunteers working on restoration and to gain an insight into the methods involved, whilst on the restored section opened last April, some paddle boarders displayed their expertise. Display boards were also on show outside the Church with volunteers answering numerous questions posed by the public. The Grand Draw was held at 3pm. Throughout the day the Tea Tent was fully staffed by volunteers and the delicious cakes on offer were fully sold out by the close at 4.30 p.m. The Trust had one of the best ever days for new memberships and a range of new merchandise was available at the Sales Stall.

Sparrowhawks Netball Team is 1!
Whilst they may not be the oldest sports team in Wendover, the SparrowHawks netball team are certainly starting to make their mark on the village in an eventful first year for the club. Following on from the example set by the football team, the players are proud to wear the Wendover sporting colours of Black and Gold when they play in the Aylesbury District Netball league. Their training is certainly paying off so far, as they hold an unbeaten record of three wins from three games and are currently sitting at the top of the division 5 league table. Having been up and running for just over a year, the Sparrowhawks held a celebratory dinner at the Red Lion in early October which was well attended by the whole club.

Schools John Colet Welcome RAF Visitor
John Colet school staff and students were delighted to welcome Group Captain Adrian Burns, Station Commander of RAF Halton recently. The school invited the Group Captain as part of a commitment to developing and maintaining links with the local RAF base. Group Captain Burns enjoyed a tour of the school to see the facilities on offer and to view a specially created display on life as a Service Child. He then met with several of the service children who attend the school. Seven per cent of students at the school live at RAF Halton and the school offers support to them in a number of ways. All Service Children are able to access one-to-one support with the school’s Service Children Network support officer. This provides those
that need it a confidential person to talk to regarding any issues they are facing, including dealing with the deployment of a parent, which can make for a very difficult time. Head teacher Christine McLintock said: “We were delighted to welcome Group Captain Burns to John Colet. He was able to see the school that many of the young people living at RAF Halton attend, the support that we have in place for them and to hear their first-hand experience. “We are very pleased to work with RAF Halton in a number of ways; team building sessions for Year 12 and Work Experience placements for Year 10. We are always looking at ways to further develop the links.”
11C decided to start the petition as their MAD (Make A Difference) Week activity. MAD week is an initiative run by the John Colet where each form has a dedicated week to “Make A Difference” through either fundraising for charity, highlighting issues within society or making community visits. In light of the sad news last week the form agreed this was an important issue to highlight and so set up an online petition which they promoted through social media. Students hoped to receive 1000 signatures and are thrilled by the response which saw them reaching their target in less than a week, with more signatures still being added. Head teacher Mrs McLintock said: “This is

Local Face: Remco van den Heuvel Remco van den Heuvel and his wife Elly moved to Wendover in September 2015 just in time for Remco’s induction as the new minister of Wendover Free Church. Remco and Elly have just finished three years theological study at Regent’s Park College in Oxford and Remco has completed three years as Minister-in-training at Salem Baptist Church in Hillingdon. Remco is now a Newly Accredited Baptist Minister and Wendover Free Church is Remco’s first church as ordained Minister. As the name suggests, Remco is not originally from England. He was born and raised in the Netherlands and came to England in 2001 for the first time on a placement as part of his engineering physics degree. Remco’s student placement was at the Brunel Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University, London where he met Elly. Remco and Elly were married in 2003 at Slough Baptist Church and Remco became a UK resident. Remco continued to study first for an MSc in Biochemical Engineering at UCL and then he returned to Brunel for His PhD studies that involved a technique called Countercurrent Chromatography which can be used to process pharmaceuticals. Do ask him to explain what that is all about if you are interested! After obtaining his PhD, Remco was employed as a research engineer in Bioengineering at Brunel. During this time Remco and Elly were hosting a home group and very involved in children’s
work at Slough Baptist Church. Remco became more and more involved in leadership positions at Slough Baptist and at Brunel University. Having completed a growing leaders course at Slough Baptist Church and tried (and failed) to complete an online Theology degree Remco was challenged by a talk at the Spring Harvest Christian conference to get off the fence and start moving. This made him think about his future and what the best way forward would be. In 2011 Elly and Remco started to explore whether they should enter Christian Ministry in the Baptist Church. As a first step Remco spoke to his minister who said something like “What took you so long!” In 2012, Remco left science behind to start his ministerial training, but remained involved at Brunel by serving as a volunteer chaplain with the chaplaincy team. Elly remained as Research Fellow at Brunel but reduced her working week to three days to enable her to study alongside Remco. After three years of combining study, church ministry and chaplaincy Remco is pleased to be able to focus his attention on ministry and the Wendover community and is hoping to find

time to enjoy some painting, music, walking and swimming; hobbies which have been on the backburner since starting training in 2012. Remco and Elly have received an incredibly warm welcome from the people of Wendover and Wendover Free Church already feels like family to them. Remco has started to become familiar with Churches Together and is getting to know local ministers. He is looking forward to getting to know the people of the village and he plans to visit local businesses and make connections in the community. Remco and Elly love working with children and Remco plans to contact the local schools to find out what help and support Wendover Free Church could provide. Remco gave up working in scientific research because he felt that building strong communities, drawing on the good news of God’s love was a better way to make a difference in the world. He is committed to being an integral part of the Wendover community and he would love to chat to local people to help him understand what makes Wendover tick. Do say hello to Remco and Elly when you see them. They would be very pleased to chat with you and get to know you. ELAINE MACWHIRTER

Matters Arising Wendover Parish Council Page
View from The Chair
I hope some of you saw the Memorial Plaque displayed in our window recently. The Plaque marks the Council’s appreciation to all those people who gave generously to help fund the restoration of the Clock Tower roof. The plaque is made from a section of the recently removed bell tower ladder, which was climbed at least once a week when winding the Clock. This is now done by an electrical autowinding system and the ladder replaced with something safer for our staff to climb when occasionally having to adjust the time. There were many anonymous donors who gave to the fund in various ways, such as entering quiz nights, dropping change into collection boxes and running events. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one who contributed to restoring our iconic landmark.
what a daunting challenge this is. Seeing so many of you up there has made me proud to represent this Village as Chairman of the Parish Council. Good luck to all of you yet to appear. Robert Duggan Chair of Wendover Parish Council

If you see a light that needs attention please report the identification number (every column should have one!) Although the major works to the Clock by calling us or reporting it online - www.

Christmas
This year’s celebration will be on Friday 4 December on the Manor Waste and will include Craft and Christmas stalls, hot food, a bar and switching on the Christmas Tree lights by a very special guest. It is also late night shopping evening. We are hoping that Father Christmas will bring some reindeer to say hello to the children who come to see him. This year’s charity is The Wendover Swimming Pool. Look out for the December Wendover News for full details! The small Christmas Trees put up outside the shops will be dressed with new energy saving LED white lights. Any shops wishing to have a tree are reminded to contact the Parish Council as soon as possible.
