NOTES FROM HINKLEDUX RECTORY
Where people can collide
One of the dangers of being vicar to
several village churches is that you make comparisons. It can be misleading and
unhelpful, but I wonder if it might also give pointers to some requirements for
a healthy village community? I’m not a sociologist, and I want to steer clear
of village politics (which I think can be almost as difficult as national
politics!), so if I blunder into sensitive areas, I apologise now. It’s just
that from a church point of view, Ickleton and Hinxton do well, while recently
Duxford, has had its struggles.
On the face of it, this is difficult
to explain, because Duxford has the largest population, a good church primary
school and many other amenities you’d expect to find in a thriving village.
It’s tempting to answer the question by looking for someone to blame or
regretting past decisions. But that won’t get us very far. And after two years,
I’m beginning to understand how Duxford is so different from Ickleton and
Hinxton.
One issue is obviously size; and
perhaps bigger is not better after all. The working numbers for each village
that I use are Duxford 2000, Ickleton 650 and Hinxton 350 (adult populations
vaguely derived from 2001 census figures). It may be that there is a critical
point at which people in a community are just not able to maintain regular
personal contact. One might speculate that this could lead to a loss of the
sense of personal involvement and personal responsibility that is so important
to village life. If that’s the case in Duxford, then of course, it would not be
unreasonable to expect the congregation of the village church to reflect the
wider problems of the community it serves.
Another significant factor in what
we might call ‘community health’ is, of course, the provision of occasions for
the community to get together. I’ve attended many events at Ickleton and
Hinxton Village Halls - barn dances and quizzes, auctions and plays - always
enjoyable, they are part of the glue that holds a community together and makes
a village a good place to live. Duxford’s Race Night at Huntsman’s Restaurant
last year was another such occasion. But in Duxford, of course, the big issue
is the need for a village hall – a place where people from different parts of
the village can collide.
All three village churches depend on
and, I’d like to think, provide support to their communities. But that’s not
always the case. There are two models of how church should work and they lead
in very different directions. The first model sees church as a self sufficient
group (which might be described using the same terms as any club), which
relates to its local community only in terms of its own interests. This sort of
church will tend to use uncompromising language about faith and belief and will
only accept new members if they are willing to sign up to its clearly stated
principles. The second model of church uses gentler, (and some might say)
weaker and more ambiguous language. It understands its role not only as a
repository for faith but also in relating to the community it serves. It
depends on the community for financial support and sees itself as a place for
all the people of the community at the special moments in their lives (birth,
marriage and death). It also plays a part in building relationships in the
community (Ickleton’s Tuesday Coffee mornings are a wonderful example of that).
In the coming weeks there are
occasions when, in all three villages, church and village can come together to
celebrate, to express pride in their community and their church, and to work
and play together in a way that will reinforce relationships for the coming
year. Village fetes are hugely important occasions for our communities, so if
it’s the only community thing you do this year, please make sure you support
your local fete!

BELLRINGING
There are a few Duxford and Ickleton
people who get together every Monday evening to practise bellringing at
alternatively, Duxford or Ickleton.
Our aim is to ring for Sunday
morning services in Ickleton and Duxford, and at weddings as required.
If you have always wanted to try
bellringing, now is your chance! We are
looking to run a training scheme in the near future. Please contact Jenny ' 01223 833571 or Monica for
more information. This is open to all
local people. Jenny

ICKLETON SOCIETY
AGM
The Society held its 26th AGM on 9th
May. Sheila Birch gave the Chairman’s
review of activities in the past year, which included the popular New Year’s
Day Walk, a trip to Welney, and further work on the village archives. The Society sent comments to various bodies
on the large scale development issues that could impact the village - such as
the East of England Plan, developments at the Huntsman and Hexel sites, the M11
and expansion at Stansted Airport.
Having been Chair for 8 years, Sheila announced that
she now wishes to stand down. Jos
Flitton has been Treasurer of the Society for nearly 20 years and she announced
her intention to stand down too. Jackie
Casement and Judy Marshall will also be standing down after many years on the
Committee.
Following the business meeting, Lizzie Sanders and
Jean Cowell of the Littlebury Millennium Society History Group gave a most
enjoyable talk entitled ‘Treats and Excursions’ describing the great fun the
group had researching their book ‘Littlebury - A Parish History’.
Help Needed
For the Society to continue, new members of the
Committee are urgently needed. People’s
lifestyles have changed a lot in recent years and the social side of the
Society is not as well supported as it once was, but members agreed that the
archive is an important village asset.
With threats of large scale development in our area, it benefits the
village to have a local group able to write letters, independent of the Parish
Council, yet voicing village concerns.
With four vacancies on the Committee, this
is an opportunity to bring fresh ideas to the Society. If you think it is worth helping to protect
the future of our village environment and preserving a record of its history
and would like to be involved or find out more, please contact me or leave a
message by 11th June. The
Committee traditionally meets four times a year, so this isn’t a great time
commitment. If we cannot form a new
Committee, the Society will have to be wound up which would be a great
shame. Please help if you can. Rachel Radford
THEATRE
GROUP
It was a great pleasure to
welcome Ben Lawson back to the village for our last show. Redvers Lawson, as Ben is known professionally,
gave a storming performance as the Landlord of an English Pub, and his
colleague Alice Jones was superb as the Landlady.
They also both played a
variety of characters, with much skill in a depiction of everyday life in a pub,
and the emotions underlying the customary banter.
Our next show will be on Friday
15th June when we welcome The Daniel Smith Blues Band. For lovers of boogie woogie and blues,
this is a show not to be missed. The
band has received critical acclaim in national newspapers and musical journals
and Daniel has been described as “a serious challenger to Jules Holland as the
UK’s number one boogie pianist”. We
will be laying out the hall cabaret style, with tables which creates a great
atmosphere, but limits the number of seats available, so do book as soon as
possible. Tickets are on sale now at Costcutter Express, £6 Full and £5
Concessions. The doors and bar will be
open at 7.15 p.m.

BIRTHS
Jonathan and Paula Pearce are delighted to announce
the birth of their baby daughter Ruby Elizabeth on 29th April.
David and Geraldine Bushell (nee Williams) are
delighted to announce the birth of their second son Toby Alexander, a dear
little brother for Cameron David on Friday 4th May.

CDs, we will have some discs from John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers
available at bargain prices. We hope that you will all come along on Saturday 7th
July to browse our selection and refill those shelves with some new music. JoAnne Rutter

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
A new and extremely good
and free way in which you can ensure your property is identifiable all over the
UK is to register your property on www.immobilise.com. This site is searched
thousands of times every day by British police officers. When registering an
item on www.immobilise.com a user I.D. and password is generated which allows
you to access the site and add or delete items at any time of the night or
day. There is no limit to the number of items that you can
register. This gives you a chance of getting property back and the police
a chance to find the thieves. Whilst on the subject of property, please
remember NEVER get involved with buying property if you are unsure
where it has come from. It could be stolen and then you might become a
criminal too.
Please remember to
contact police use 999 for emergencies and '0845 456 456 4 for
non-emergency calls.
If you have information about any crime, call CRIMESTOPPERS '0800 555 111.
This call is free. You do not have to give your name or address and any reward
you may get will also remain anonymous.
Distraction burglaries
continue in our area and along the M11 corridor. The main method is still
posing as
water board officials,
but this can change, so be wary. Remember, if in doubt, keep them out. Genuine
callers will never mind
being challenged. Please look out for those more vulnerable to this type of
crime and use the contacts above when appropriate.
Thanks to the villagers
who called the police and myself when salesmen were paying attention to the
rear of houses.
Keep watching. Tracy
& Keith Head

PRIMARY SCHOOL
Spring has been a time of sporting success. The years 5 & 6 Netball Team won the
Cambridgeshire Regional Annual High Five Netball Festival. In the final round of the tournament, they
played eight out of the eighteen schools present, without conceding a single
goal. The following week saw yet
another success as the Seven-a-side Football Team won the Cambridgeshire
Schools Football Tournament. Our review
of sporting excellence would not be complete without mentioning the
Cambridgeshire County Cross Country Relay race, in which over 100 teams
competed, that was won by our boys. A wonderful achievement!
Years 3, 4 and 5 entertained parents, carers and
relatives with a musical adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Selfish Giant.’ It was a very polished performance, with
some great music and imaginative dancing supported by excellent narrators and
actors, as well as all the back stage boys.
Forty-five budding models had a great time putting on
a fashion show for parents and friends.
This PTA event raised over £100 that will be put towards some new
benches for the playgrounds. The School
Council has chosen them, and once in place, some of them will become dedicated
friendship benches. Miranda Stone-Wigg

THE
CHESTERFORDS, ICKLETON & HINXTON W.I.
At the April meeting, members must
have thought they were experiencing a second childhood, when John Savill
related the history of Punch and Judy, followed by a live show with audience
participation.
John is one of the few Punch and
Judy men left to operate in this country, due to the heavy Licensing Laws.
We came down to earth with a bump at
the May meeting, when the resolutions for the AGM were discussed, and members
voted unanimously against the proposed closure of Community Hospitals.
We then enjoyed hearing about Julie
Baillie’s visit to Denman College, where she enjoyed a four day course on
Waddesdon Manor and Blenheim Palace.
The next meeting will be in Hinxton
Village Hall on June 20th, when the speaker will be Malcom Busby
from Milton Country Park. Cynthia Rule

FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE
National Carers Week 11th-17th June
The Carers National Association is
the voice of carers throughout the United
Kingdom.
National Carers Week aims to promote
the organisation, its work and also raise funds.
Carers are at the sharp end of
looking after some of the most vulnerable in society; older people and people
with disabilities. These groups are the
most vulnerable from fire. Carers don’t
only visit or serve food, they are the eyes and ears that are able to see if a
risk is present. Not only do they care
for the welfare of clients or those they visit, they can prevent a dangerous
situation occurring.
Many people are cared for by friends
and relatives and in National Carers Week, I call on anyone who knows someone
who is old or infirm to call on him or her and check they are safe and
well. If you are concerned about their
safety from fire, don’t hesitate to call us ' 01223 376217. We can help with
advice on a free Home Fire Safety Check. We all have a part to play in creating
safer communities.
