Wickham Skeith Newsletter April 2020
~ NO DATES FOR YOUR DIARY ~
Staying Connected Sadly, there will be no dates for your diary for the foreseeable future. But the newsletter is such an important communication for the village we want to continue to produce and circulate it if we can. Very many thanks to Elaine at CopyDiss, who has agreed to print April’s edition for us, and to our volunteer newsletter deliverers who have said they are willing to continue their round. This month sees the last reports from club meetings, advice on where to go for information and an update on some local services. Importantly there are also contact numbers for people if you need any help with shopping etc. If you have internet access the village website is: http://wickhamskeith.suffolk.cloud/ Many thanks to Stephen McKie and Julie Sore for keeping it updated. We take things a day at a time. It is our intention to continue to produce a monthly newsletter. If we are unable to print and distribute it, the website contains downloadable versions and we will continue to collate and upload the monthly newsletter.
~VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE NEWS ~ The Village Hall is closed until further notice but we will open again as soon as we can. Please keep an eye on the Village Website which provides information for us all. The costs of the Village Hall continue even though we can't use this great village resource. We are in the fortunate position that, each week, many people take part in the Lottery Bonus Number, run by Jeanne Mason, which will continue to bring in some funding and there is an amount in the bank account too. Hopefully no problems with us keeping running!! Thanks to Dave Challinor for keeping the outside area looking tidy for us. It is much appreciated! Take Care and Keep Safe Wickham Skeith Village Hall Management Committee – Chair’s Report. Our AGM was cancelled but I wanted to thank all those who have helped us with activities over the last 12 months. We enjoyed a successful Fete, raising over £2600 - once again ably led by Katie Durrant and her team. Our thanks also go to all those incredibly loyal friends and neighbours who turn up to help before, during and after the event as well as those who come along to enjoy meeting old friends. The annual table tennis tournament in March 2019 was a success with 18 players competing. Seb and Caz organized a really enjoyable sports evening on the Green in July and Kevin stretched us all with his Music Quiz. The highlight of the year, inside the hall, must have been the Harvest Horkey. Despite a couple of logistical hitches, Sam Mulgrew and her team worked tirelessly, both in preparation and on the night, to give us a great evening in a fantastically decorated hall. The Produce Show was held in August organised by Rosie and Carol. Denise and her team had big turnouts in both the Halloween and Christmas parties for the children. We did a live screening in the hall of the World Cup Rugby Final. In November, the Hall hosted the Craft fair and Jos and Verity have successfully initiated a crafternoon which takes place once a month. In December the Hall was packed for the annual quiz. Nearly 40 adults and children managed 4 miles on the Plum Pudding walk. The hall is regularly used by the Lunch Club, the Church, Hilltops and private hire for Tai Chi and Yoga groups as well as Tea and Chat on a Wednesday. The hall management committee have been giving serious consideration to enlarging and modernising the kitchen. The Lunch Club committee are very keen that this should be given serious consideration. Further discussion is to take place and we are keen to hear the views of the parish. My thanks to all who have helped, in particular Kevin, running the bar, and Dave Challinor who helps maintain the place as well as cutting the grass. I want to thank Denise Carle, our caretaker and bookings secretary, Jocelyn Bryant (secretary) and Harriet Bowes, our Treasurer, as well as the rest of the committee. We have a good working group, but could always benefit from more assistance. Of course, the hall is now closed until further notice and the cancellation of the Fete will severely hit our income. We are obliged to keep an amount of money in reserve for contingency, which we have, and we are fortunate to have the 49/59 Club that raises money each month. We look forward to the hall being open again! NM. March 2020
~NEWS FROM THE CLUBS~ Hilltop Women’s Group We were delighted to welcome Jane Stone to our March meeting. She's a river pilot, working within the Stour and Orwell estuaries and guiding those massive ships safely into their berths. An amazing woman who inspired us all with her relaxed and interesting life. You've probably guessed that the April AGM has been cancelled, and that our mystery Trip in May is no longer a mystery! Home's best. We will let you know when we can safely and legally meet again. Meanwhile, keep safe and look after yourselves. Use the Care Group, or neighbours if you need shopping or advice. Margaret Knights
History & Film Group As with other groups there will be no meetings until further notice. In the meantime Liz and Pete Davidson have offered the following: Have a Go at Your Family History The next few months could be an opportunity to try something new. Are you interested in the history of your family but not sure how to start? Have you made some progress but don’t know where to go next? Liz & Pete Davidson have done a lot of research over the years & we would be happy to help in any way we can. Contact us by phone, email, text or WhatsApp. 766622. Liz: eadavidson42@gmail.com; 07951 373669. Pete: pjdavidson42@gmail.com; 07951 020998.
Crafternoon Keep crafty at home but of course no more Crafternoons for the foreseeable future. Watch this space.
~NEWS FROM THE CLUBS & OTHER EVENTS~ Lunch Club In March we enjoyed a wonderful, roast pork lunch with apple sauce and an abundance of healthy vegetables followed by a beautifully prepared apricot frangipane flan with cream. Huge thanks must go to our chief cook, Jean Willoughby, who was ably supported by Will Elphick and Linda Vertigans. Dessert was cooked by Margaret JonesEvans. The washing up was overseen by Dave Chalinor and Dennis Sore. It was such a friendly and relaxed afternoon and so good to see even more new members from our village joining us and enjoying the food and the chat. Sadly I suspect this will be the last over 60s Lunch club for a few months, as we have cancelled the lunches in April and May, until we know more of what the future holds. I am sure we are all looking out for one another in the village and especially those who are more vulnerable or who live alone. Any Queries regarding Lunch Club contact Jenny Elphick 01449 766885
Flower Festival 2020 We have postponed this event and will look at the possibility of holding it in the Autumn, or, perhaps put it off 'till next year. Who knows!? We will play it by ear and hope that all our lovely village events will re-surface again when it's safe to do so. I will retain all your ideas. Thank you for your enthusiasm. Margaret Knights
Fundraising for St Andrew’s Church Because of all the advice about Coronavirus there will be no more fund-raising events for a while but I must report that the Quiz on 14th March was a brilliant evening. Pete Davidson balanced the questions perfectly – mostly challenging but some possible to answer. More than £500 was raised for the new heating required for the church. Thank you very much to everyone who came to the quiz evening. The installation of the new heating in the church began on 19 th March thanks to all the money that villagers and friends have given but sadly Government advice meant that the installation had to stop after Monday 23 rd. We look forward to the work being finished when the Coronavirus problem is over. The Bacton Benefice weekly pew sheet is still being produced. If you’d like a copy on email contact mjonesevans@yahoo.co.uk. Take care everyone – 2 metres apart remember - from Margaret Jones-Evans
~ S T. A N D R E W ’ S C H U R C H ~ Rural Dean: Rev Canon Diane Williams 720316, mobile 07714016554 diane.rev@btinternet.com Readers: Helen Matter 780379, Elaine Miller 770337, Sheila Wright 768644 Elders: Peter Paine 767897, Janice Shea 781263, Jean Willoughby 766621
Sadly the church has to be kept locked under the current guidelines and there will be no services or other access – but no cleaning for those on the rota in the near future. It will also mean postponing the spring clean we were planning until the crisis is over. As you will read in Revd Carl’s message in place of services in church there will be opportunities to view online services. Of course no services mean no collection plate and thus no income for St Andrew’s. If you would normally put cash in the collection could you consider setting that money aside until it is possible to give again or even setting up a standing order or making a BACS payment online if you are able? The PCC would be very grateful to know of the support. The electrician began the installation of the new heaters on March 19 th but then almost immediately had to stop. He is leaving the building safe and will resume as soon as it’s possible. Message from Reverend Carl Melville When a new Rector arrives into “his patch”, there is usually a big service, celebration, ringing of bells and so on. Due to the Coronavirus this obviously cannot happen. How will people come to me during this pandemic for comfort and prayer when we cannot meet face to face, conduct services, weddings or baptisms or even visit each other? Thanks to technology, it is possible to stay in touch and I encourage you to make contact with me if you have any need – it might be you need to chat, you feel lonely, need some food shopping collected or a prescription picked up, want to celebrate something or pick my brains. Whatever, do get in touch. I am here – even if you cannot see me face to face – to serve our communities. I can be contacted by phone (01449 781650) or email (carlmelville@hotmail.com). We now have a church Facebook page and I will post there regularly (www.facebook.com/bactonbenefice or search @bactonbenefice). On our Facebook page I will be broadcasting services from my home for the time being, so maybe you can join in with the prayers and hymns. These are certainly difficult and dark days and we may have to get used to this way of life for a while. However, Jesus reminds us that he is the Light of the World – a light that NO darkness can put out. Can evil or famine or COVID-19 put out the light of Jesus? No! What I have seen in our communities already – in just the few weeks I’ve been here – is the amazing kindness, generosity and love that people have for one another. These things are the light of Jesus at work. As days ahead get darker, remember that the light of Jesus can only get brighter. May God hold you in the palm of his hands. - Revd Carl
