The Rev Norma Payne writes:
General Synod of the Church of England met in York from 6th - 10th July. Many people hoped that this was to be the Synod which would take the final vote on the Women Bishops legislation. Sadly this was not to be and the vote has been deferred until the November Synod. The delay has been caused because no agreement was reached about whether special arrangements should be made for those who cannot accept the ministry of women. For many, such provision is a cause of great sadness because it would create a two-tier system of bishops. The principal concerns of WATCH (Women and the Church) about the particular clause [Clause 5(1) c] are:
i) It legitimates negative theologies about women and expects women to live with permanent institutional uncertainty about their orders. This is bad for women and bad for the Church.
ii) It opens the way for parishes to require a bishop and priest in accordance with their theological convictions. This is a new and unwelcome departure for our Church that will lead to conflict and increasing fragmentation. What ‘theological convictions’ might be are not stipulated.
The draft legislation was supported by 42 out of 44 dioceses. Surely that must count for something and we can only hope and pray that November will see the completion of a process begun in the mid-nineteen nineties, and legislation allowing women to be bishops will be passed.
I often include a prayer in my article and this month is no exception.
Gracious, loving Lord, we look forward with hope and joyful anticipation to the time when men and women can serve you, and all people, equally in every task within your Church. Thank you that every position held and task done is valued by you and furthers your mission on earth. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers. Amen.

Recycling charity appeals for unwanted domestic white goods
Since the white goods recycling charity Refurbiz was established in 2003, more than 8,000 low income families in Wiltshire have benefited from around 12,000 quality, reconditioned, white goods at prices they can afford. However, in the current economic environment we are struggling to source enough feedstock to service our demand.
With people hanging on to their old models & machines for longer we are increasingly in need of unwanted free standing electric cookers, washing machines, dryers and refrigeration. We simply can’t meet the demand we now have for them and if the economy continues to be slow and more people find themselves in difficulties, the demand is only going to go higher.
So please, if you are replacing any white goods, particularly electric cookers and working fridges, then phone us and we will come out and remove them free of charge (although, as a charity, donations to cover our fuel costs, etc., are always welcome!).
We screen the goods, restore those that can be repaired and then pass them onto those in need. Typically, the cost of a washing machine or cooker comes to about £85 with a three month warranty – vastly lower than buying new goods from the stores.
Any appliances that are beyond repair are stripped down to reusable components and finally any bits left over are sent to the Hills Waste Materials Recovery Facility, near Calne, for onward, licensed recycling, avoiding any waste electrical items going into landfill.
So, if you have any white goods you no longer want and wish to donate, you can help a family in need by contacting Refurbiz on 01380 720200.
If you know any person or family in need of a low cost washing machine, dryer, cooker or fridge, please tell them about us. Many of our items are displayed on our Facebook page.
Refurbiz operates out of the Hopton Park Industrial Estate in Devizes, and supplies refurbished white goods across Wiltshire and Swindon. The charity was set up by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust nine years ago to encourage electrical waste to be reused for the benefit of those in need. It is an independent not-for-profit charity supported by self-generated income and charitable grants.
Save the Children
Cream teas and open garden in aid of this charity will be held at Mill Farm House, Hill Deverill on Sundays 26th August & 30th September from 3.00 - 6.00 pm. There will be a cake stall along with other items for sale. In 2011 we made £2,353.65 from our Cream Teas events for Save the Children but with your support we can increase that total this year to aid the work undertaken by them still further.

The Deverills Cricket Club
Home matches take place on the cricket ground next to the Upper Deverills Village Hall starting at 2.00 or 2.30 pm. Please come along to watch and support us. The home fixtures are on the Sundays:
5th, 12th and 19th August
If you would like to join the club and need information please call

Deverill Valley and Crockerton Women's Institute
Our meeting this month is on Monday 13th August at 7.30pm at Longbridge Deverill Village Hall when John Walpole will speak and answer questions on Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. This will be followed by a Countryside Quiz and tea, biscuits and a raffle. Our meeting in July was extremely well attended, with visitors from several other local WI groups, we all enjoyed the talk by Dr. Frances Burroughes which was not only very informative but also at times quite amusing. His collection of Fine Glass was beautiful and some pieces were quite rare. If you would like to know more about the WI in the Deverill Valley please contact Julie Wallder on 213142. You will be very welcome to join our meeting.
Reading & Dining Club
The next meeting is at 7.00 pm on Thursday 6th September at The Woolpack, Sutton Veny. The book to be discussed is Headlong by Michael Frayn. Please contact Fiona Grant on 07886 548589 if you would like to come, we look forward to seeing you.
Marie Curie Cancer Care Walk Ten - Saturday 1st September
Taking place at Stourhead a 10k walk starting at 7.00 pm will give walkers after-hours access as they explore 2,650 acres of ancient woodland, fairytale temples, beautiful countryside and a mystical grotto as the sun sets over this amazing estate. There will be entertainment for our walkers throughout the night, with face painters, singers and musicians on hand as the route takes them through past the iconic King Alfred's Tower and Stourhead House itself. After finishing their 10k, walkers are invited to enjoy their homemade picnic by the lake and rest their weary legs and soak up the atmosphere. The event will conclude at 10.00 pm with a spectacular fireworks display to pay tribute to our Marie Curie Nurses. 10.00 pm is especially poignant as this is when nurses throughout Wiltshire begin their night shift – providing care and support to people with terminal illnesses, and their families, in the comfort of their own homes.
Registration for this enchanting event is only £10 per person (or £20 if you sign up on the night). Children under 16 go free and dogs are welcome too! Everyone taking part also receives a Walk Ten T-Shirt to wear on the walk. You can find out more about the event by visiting www.mariecurie.org.uk/walkten
This is the third year that Walk Ten has taken place nationally (with 25 Walk Tens taking place throughout the UK). Last year we had nearly 400 walkers take up the 10K challenge at Stourhead and it would be great to make Walk Ten in Wiltshire even more of a success in 2012!

Recipe - Spicy Chicken
Sponsored by Maiden Bradley Community Shop
4 chicken breasts, boned and skinned 1 small onion chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 1cm (½ inch) fresh ginger, peeled, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon dry sherry or white wine
5 green cardamom pods – seeds only 2 tsps concentrated apple juice or clear honey
Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4/180C/350F. Remove any fat from the chicken breasts. Mix together the onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sherry/wine, cardamom seeds and apple juice or honey in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts, turn them well, cover the bowl and marinate from 30 minutes up to 24 hours, the longer the better. Arrange a large sheet of kitchen foil in a flat baking dish and place the chicken breasts on top, making sure they do not touch each other. Pour over the marinade and fold the foil back over the chicken. Seal the edges tightly, but leave room for a little circulation of air inside the parcel. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes. Serve the breasts with the marinade as a sauce.

Where have you been?
A visit to Sherborne Abbey and lunch at an Italian restaurant
One hopes the rain will eventually stop and we can start doing those things we generally associate with summer but just in case, I thought I would recommend a day out in Sherborne which would suit a wet or dry day. I recently visited Sherborne Abbey, guide book and Pevsner in hand, with friends and had a fascinating time looking around. However, we all felt a guided tour would have increased our enjoyment. There are two guided tours a week at the abbey; 10.30 am on Tuesdays and 2.30 pm on Fridays between April and September. It best to check in advance in case there is a special service taking place which would prevent the tour from happening (01935 812542). I feel we have a special connection with the abbey in the Deverills because King Alfred’s father’s bones are allegedly buried there. The timings of the guided tours fit very neatly with having lunch. For this I would recommend Tamburino Italian Restaurant, 1 Digby Street, Sherborne DT9 3NL 01935 389053 just opposite the abbey. They have a lunchtime menu of one course for £7.95 or two courses for £9.95. My friends waxed lyrical over their squid starter followed by a large dish of chicken. I enjoyed black mushrooms in a cheese sauce followed by gnocchi with a rich pesto sauce. I particularly recommend a glass of the Sicilian red, Nero d’Avola, but be careful unless you specify a small glass you are likely to get a 250ml bucket!
I am always grateful for your recommendations so please keep them coming. If you have any suggestions or comments to pass on, send them to me by email at farthings.kd@btinternet.com or through my door at Farthings, Kingston Deverill.

Longbridge Deverill & Crockerton Parish Council
Identifying housing needs in your area
Wiltshire Council is working with your Parish Council and we need your help. We are asking all residents to complete the housing needs questionnaire which will be delivered to your home with this edition of the Parish News. The information will be used: to identify local housing needs; to inform housing and planning policies; to appreciate local residents’ current housing situation and to find out what aspirations people have. Your views matter so please take the time to complete the survey.
For more information please contact: Wiltshire Council, Housing Strategy, Monkton Park, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN15 1ER Tel 0300 456 0100
email: housing.strategy@wiltshire.gov.uk
The next Parish Council meeting is on Monday 3rd September at 7.30pm in Longbridge Deverill Village Hall. Everyone is welcome.
The next Upper Deverills Parish Council meeting will be on Wednesday 12th September at 6.30pm in the Upper Deverills Village Hall.
River Weed - Help Please
The recent growth of cress type water weed in the River Wylye have been enormous, and the rains have resulted in unprecedented amounts of the weed flowing down the river. They are caught by the bridge at Brixton Deverill, where they accumulate, blocking the arches, and helping to build up islands of silt. On 12th July two men worked for two or three hours to clear it away, but two days later it had again built up round the half island to the west of the bridge and blocked the middle arch. Normally it takes an exceptional flash-flood for the river level to rise above the arches, but when the arch is blocked, a heavy downpour in the upper Wylye valley might cause this to happen. When the water rises above the arches, it backs up everywhere, immediately blocking the smaller outflow from the stream beside Bridge Cottage. If the volume of water is too much for the culvert leading off this stream, it will back up and may possibly overflow into the road and adjoining properties.
We would be most grateful if those who own properties higher up along the river could help by clearing the river of this weed before it cuts loose and flows downstream causing serious problems.

Mobility Scooters on buses
Earlier this year the Confederation of Passenger Transport and the Department for Transport launched a Code of Conduct for the carriage of mobility scooters on low floor buses. This had hitherto been something of a ‘grey area’, not being subject to legislation, and the increasing use of mobility scooters had led to some disagreement and conflict about their suitability for carriage by bus. Introducing the Code has sought to address this.
There remains no legislation governing the carriage of mobility scooters on local buses but it is clear that the design of modern vehicles makes them suitable for the carriage of scooters not exceeding a specified size and weight. Following extensive consultation, and at the request of the Department for Transport, the Confederation of Passenger Transport developed a voluntary Code of Conduct for adoption by its members (which provide over 85% of the UK's local bus services) and by other operators. Take up thus far has been considerable, with most major operators having adopted the Code.
What this means is that users of mobility scooters who want to travel by bus need to contact their local bus company for an assessment. With their scooter, which must be of a Type 2 design (rather than the road-legal Type 3), they will be checked to ensure that the scooter's dimensions and the combined weight of scooter and user are within the limits prescribed by the Code, to ensure that they can be carried safely. They will be asked to board a bus in a controlled environment, to move to the wheelchair area of the bus, and to alight from the bus, to ensure that they are able to control the scooter in a safe manner so as not to endanger themselves or other passengers. Provided that they pass this assessment, they will be issued with a pass bearing their photograph, which will allow them to use the low floor bus services of the operator conducting the assessment, plus those of any other UK operator that has signed up to the Code, subject to the vehicle having capacity.
For the avoidance of doubt, users of electric wheelchairs that do not exceed the standard reference wheelchair dimensions need not be assessed and will be accepted for travel on low floor buses whenever there is capacity to accommodate them.
First drivers and customer service staff are all trained in meeting the needs of the mobility impaired, and local assessments of scooter users are being undertaken at all First operating companies.
Please refer any enquiries seeking advice about the use of public transport with mobility scooters to your closest bus operator. An information leaflet is available setting out the provisions of the Code for those who are interested. Further information can be obtained from www.traveline.info or 0871 200 2233.

Police and Crime Commissioner information site
An information site about the election of the first ever Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire has been launched on the Wiltshire Police Authority's website - www.wiltshire-pa.gov.uk - and includes details about the role and responsibilities of the forthcoming Police and Crime Commissioner and how they will be scrutinised. Much like the existing police authority, the Police and Crime Commissioner will be responsible for overseeing Wiltshire Police on behalf of all residents in the Force area. They will represent people living across Wiltshire and Swindon. Elections for Police and Crime Commissioners take place on Thursday 15th November. There will then be a formal seven day transition period before the commissioner takes office on Thursday 22nd November. The Wiltshire Police area Police and Crime Commissioner will replace Wiltshire Police Authority, the group of 17 councillors and independent members who currently oversee Wiltshire Police. You can find out more about Police and Crime Commissioners by looking on the website - www.wiltshire-pa.gov.uk. As well as information about their role, it includes a timeline highlighting key dates in the transition from Wiltshire Police Authority to the Police and Crime Commissioner, details about the election, a news section and links to useful documents and other websites for potential candidates.
Free cavity wall and loft insulation(Supported by Wiltshire Council)
Grants are now available for loft and cavity wall insulation! If your loft has no insulation or it hasn’t been topped up in several years, Wiltshire Warm and Well may be able to top it up for free.
If you have cavity walls these can also be insulated for free using a grant. You no longer need to be on a qualifying benefit or over 70 for the work done for free!
If you have solid walls, there are also grants available for internal and external wall insulation. The level of grant funding is dependent on your circumstances, the size of the property and the main source of heating within the home. There are currently grants up to £14,995 so there has never been a better time to take advantage of the offer.
The Energy Saving Trust estimates a yearly saving of around £175 after loft insulation is installed and up to £135 after cavity wall insulation is installed (based on 3 bed semi-detached house). The grants will not be available indefinitely so please act now to arrange a free no obligation survey.
