Monday 17th November - Black bin collection
Monday 24th November - Green bin and green boxes (bottles, tins
& plastic)

Ickleton Parish Council The following items were discussed at the meeting held on 15th
October 2008:
Trees in Cemetery – The Clerk had met Mr P. Lilley
and pointed out the 8 pine trees, which are near the flint wall. He will number the trees (beginning with
those nearest the gate) and submit a quote for each tree. As the cemetery is near a sharp bend, he
will need to consult with Highways.
Butcher’s Hill Light – The Clerk had spoken to EDF
regarding the connection of the electricity to the light. They referred her to the local Council;
subsequently a telephone call was made to SCDC. We await the response.
Mill Lane Crossing – Some more work has been done on
this crossing, but a further inspection by Councillors will be carried out to
see if we are satisfied that the work has been completed.
Proposed Grange Road
closure – The Start of Works date is 1st
December – to last one week - a maximum of five days of road closure between
08.00 and 18.00 each day. Concern was
again raised about the diversion route, which as yet is unknown. The Clerk has asked Cllr Stone to see if can
obtain any information from CCC, as no information has been received. An e-mail will also be sent to Mike Cooper
to ask if he knows the diverted route.
Wellcome Trust – Dog Bins –SCDC have said the bin is
scheduled to be installed in Mill Lane on 18th October.
Christmas Refuse Collections – Cllr Williams reported that
Ickleton’s collection will be on successive Mondays undisturbed, with green
bin/boxes collected on 22nd December, black bin on 29th
December and reen bin/boxes on 5th January 2009.
Planning
application(s) received from SCDC:
Lewis Duke declared an interest and left the room.
S/1536/08/F – Erection of Grain
Store & Repositioning of Polytunnels & Glasshouses – Rectory Farm, Grange
Road – RGR Smith & RAGT Seeds Ltd.
The
Councillors discussed these plans and raised the following questions:
·
Why
were these plans not included in the original application?
·
(originally
dealt with at Stretham)
·
The
height of the grain store would be higher than the existing barn
·
(they
were receptive to it being reduced from 9.5 m to 8.1m)
·
Was
there any likelihood of any further applications in the future?
·
(it
will be contained within the footprint)
·
Would
traffic increase?
·
(No)
·
Who
was responsible for the planting of hedgerows/landscape?
·
(the
local farmers consortium)
Mr Summers was invited by the Chairman to respond to the
above. The Parish Council expressed a
wish to visit the site in the future; Mr Summers said he would be delighted to
show them around.
Terry Sadler (on behalf of the Planning Committee)
recommended we approve the application but asked for consideration to be
given to reducing the height. This
proposition was carried unanimously.
Mr Summers left the meeting. Mr Lewis Duke rejoined the meeting.
-2-
S/1433/08/F – Extension to Annexe – 26 Abbey Street –Amendment:
Reduction in size of opening upon southwest elevation. Information only.
Planning
application(s) granted by SCDC:
S/1351/08/A
– Display of Signs (Retrospective application) – The Ickleton Lion – Greene
King
Ickleton
Riverside Plans – response to letter from SCDC – the
Chairman explained why he had not responded to the letter received from Greg
Harlock (Chief Executive). It was
agreed that if any future controversial application(s) were received, the
Parish Council should consider attending the Planning Meetings at SCDC.
SCDC Council Housing
Transfer Proposal
–The Parish Council wished to thank John Williams for this report. Cllr John Williams is happy for any tenants
to contact him should they wish to read his report..
Village Hall – the Parish Council were very
disappointed when it was reported that vandals had broken 4 more windows in the
Village Hall last week. This had been
reported to the police.
Chapel (Quotes and
possible Grants)
Robin Driver and Tim Pavelin declared an interest and did
not take part in the discussion.
The Clerk had obtained six quotations to repair the Chapel
roof. These ranged from £4591.10 to
£490.00. The Parish Council agreed to
accept the quotation for £1961.00 on condition that the work could be done
before Christmas. If this were not
possible, the Clerk would approach the Council’s second choice where the
quotation was £1973.00. Once this has
been clarified, the grant form from SCDC will be completed and sent off.
Rabbits – The situation in the Cemetery was
getting worse with more large holes appearing.
Peter Wombwell had been speaking to a local landowner regarding the
culling of the rabbits. The Chairman
would also speak to some interested parties in ferreting in the cemetery. It is hoped other adjacent landowners will
try to keep the population of rabbits down.
Police Neighbourhood
Panel Meeting – 6th October 2008 + Speedwatch:
Lewis Duke reported that both he
and Jocelyn Flitton attended the above meeting.
Speedwatch – The police are beginning to progress this initiative but
not until after Christmas. The
equipment is provided by the police and manned by volunteers who report
offenders to the police who send a warning letter to the offender. The Parish Council agreed that they would
support the scheme (and inform the Police Neighbourhood Panel). Terry Sadler is happy to lead the liaison
group and a request would be put in Icene asking for volunteers – who may or
may not operate in their own village.
Interested parties should contact either Jocelyn Flitton or Terry Sadler.
The Panel Meeting then
covered/discussed anti-social Behaviour in various villages. It was noted that an effort made by the
police had reduced crime. Our new PCSO
Gary Kendall was presented and made himself known.
Other items for your
information:
Paint tins are being ‘dumped’ in the Recreation Ground near the re-cycling
bins. These tins should not be left
there but taken to the re-cycling tip at Thriplow.
Paper Re-cycling Bins – We do our best to get these emptied as soon as they
become full. Unfortunately, this does not happen as quickly as we would like,
so would ask that paper, especially of a personal nature, for your own security
should either be burnt or shredded, and not left outside the bins.
The Wetlands - The next event being held on the Campus Wetlands is a
workday on 22nd November. They will be doing some essential
maintenance to the site, which will include the creation of a gravel spur
between the lakes (to encourage nesting of birds) and maintenance of the lakes
themselves. All are welcome to attend.
They will be meeting at the Mill Lane Level Crossing at 10.30 a.m. on the 22nd
November and we should finish at around 1.00 p.m. Children are welcome (with an appropriate adult of course) and
they recommend that you wear Wellington boots and dress appropriately.
Do any of you have any
old flowerpots? They are in need of ceramic pots (as they're more durable) and
ideally no less than 20cm in diameter, for the gravel spur. Apparently the Little Ringed Plovers like
somewhere to hide in bad weather or when the sparrow hawk is overhead. The idea
is to create a small tunnel for them. Even better would be old chimney pots (if
anyone has one lying around the place!).
If you would like to come along on 22nd November or have any
old flowerpots, please email Gemma Holliday
(gemma@ebi.ac.uk). Jocelyn Flitton – Parish Clerk
VILLAGE HALL AGM
The AGM will be held on Monday 17th
November at 7.30 p.m.
Parishioners
and other regular users are cordially invited to attend. There will be an
opportunity to ask questions of members of the management committee and to make
recommendations for the continuing success of the Hall. The Committee

NOTES FROM
HINKLEDUX RECTORY
Money
and Morality
There are occasions when it is tempting for clergy to
indulge in home spun moralising about matters beyond their ken. The credit
crunch offers just such an opportunity, and the Archbishops of Canterbury and
York have already set an example (‘Archbishops attack City Practices’ BBC News
25th September). I trust readers who know a great deal more about what’s
happening out there than me will overlook my foibles just this once!
I know a little about mortgages because I have one. I used
to work for a living and, like everyone else, wanted to buy my own home. It was
in the mid 1980s that I noticed people were talking about different sorts of
mortgages. I didn’t really understand, and we thought it safest to stay with
the ordinary repayment mortgage that we were used to. But we did see house
prices increasing, and later on people seemed to have much more money to spend.
It might not have been money in the pocket, but with a reasonable credit rating
and access to several credit cards, the world was yours.
Is it just coincidence that all this was accompanied by
changing attitudes to personal morality, the breakdown of social cohesion and
family life? ‘Living the dream’ became a chilling catchphrase. In a destructive
and greedy milieu it didn’t matter who you stepped on to get there. It really
does seem that the way we use (and abuse) money mirrors our attitudes to relationships,
family life and community.
The Scotsman offered a prophetic analysis at the turn of the
year: ‘From the perspective of 2008, last year's attempts by central bankers to
provide liquidity to the money markets are akin to giving Paracetamol to a
binge drinker of ten years' standing – it may cure the headache, but will not
avert cirrhosis of the liver. The problem has less to do with the liquidity of
the banks themselves and more to do with the reluctance of banks to lend to
each other. Nobody wants to be holding the sub-prime parcel bomb when the music
stops … the truth is that the lending criteria of UK high street banks have
been so lax in recent years that much of their lending has been, as near as damn
it, sub-prime. Six times income multiples and 125 per cent loan-to-value ratios
have been commonplace. Self-certified proof of income has been an incitement to
widespread fraud.’
The article concludes: ‘For 2008 a new attitude – dare I say
a new morality – is needed. I predict that it will be a year of acceptance that
individuals can only live the lifestyle that they can afford without excessive
borrowing. Financial institutions will need to tighten up their lending
criteria and be more scrupulous about uncovering fraudulent applications. My tip
for 2008 is to get yourself a moral compass … and try to make it one that
works.’
One of the best loved saints of the Christian Church –
Francis of Assisi – pondered the same advice 800 years ago. He turned his back
on the consumer society of his day and instead embraced ‘Lady Poverty’. It
wasn’t a decision forced upon him by debt, but a ‘eureka moment’, an
understanding of the real cost of a bankrupt morality. He founded an order for
ordinary people, and one of its aims was and is to help people ‘live simply and
share with others.’ In church in November, we celebrate the lives of the
saints. We celebrate great saints, like St Francis, and unknown saints too –
ordinary people who have seen the destructiveness of a ‘greed is good’ society
and showed us what it means to live the Jesus values of service, prayer and
work in humility, love and joy.

MACMILLAN COFFEE
MORNING
I just received a thank you letter from Macmillan, for the
sum of £121.00 that we raised this year.
We have again been kindly supported by the trustees of the
Methodist Church who did not charge any fee for the use of the church. To all
of the Trustees I offer my sincere thanks.
This year I had great helpers, and many people also gave
something to the Bring and Buy stall. Thank you to everyone, especially Mary
Woolhouse, Liz Driver, Anne Marie Hoare and Cynthia Rule. Thank you too to
everyone who came for coffee, enabling us to raise such a great sum. Ruth

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our current timetable for events in November is as follows:
2nd November (All Saints). To think about what it means to be a saint -
what are the key characteristics and how can we be ‘saint-like’ How do the
modern ‘All Saints’ pop group measure up and can we make a song to reflect
this?
30th November (Advent 1) The programme will be to
think about what advent means, and how we prepare for Christmas. It will include candle making day. The candles made by the children will be
used in the advent wreath in the church. Keena

THEATRE GROUP
We had a smaller audience
than usual for our cabaret on 4th October due to two other major
attractions being held that night. We
were treated to a highly entertaining concert by the Cambridge Crofters, and
our members and helpers provided a very good ploughman’s supper during the interval. Afterwards several members of the audience
lent a hand putting away the tables and chairs and helping with the washing up
etc. This was very much appreciated by
members of the Group.
Our next event will be on
Sunday 7th December at 2.00 p.m. when the Ely Sinfonia will give a
performance of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs and other seasonal
music. The delightful story of the
Snowman tells what happens when a young boy’s snowman comes to life! There will be refreshments afterwards and
the organisers of the super Summer Sizzler have kindly offered to provide these
free of charge. The Theatre Group
likewise will stand the cost of the
performance fee and the hall hire. All
ages are welcome, young and not so young.
The tickets are free but due
to limited space in the hall anyone wishing to attend must get tickets from
Dilip and Sunita at Costcutter Express.
Once again we are very grateful to them as they have kindly agreed to
act as the box-office.

In
1838 two Primitive Methodist missionaries, B. Redhead and J. Jackson from
Upwell in Cambridgeshire were told to ‘go forth’ and plant new chapels in areas
of their choice. They chose Saffron
Walden, being a place ‘where there was no Methodism there or in the neighbouring
villages’. The thriving Wesleyan
Methodist presence didn’t count! (The ‘Prims’ had split from mainstream
Wesleyan Methodism 28 years earlier). In the next 14 years subsequent Ministers
opened chapels in surrounding villages forming the Saffron Walden Circuit.
In
1852 the chapel at Ickleton, capable of holding 200 people, was opened on its
present site at a cost of £231/15/ 6d, with a loan of £120 from Richard Perry
of Amberden Hall, in the Parish of Debden, and total debts of £155.
There
were 33 members of the Society, among them Richard Barker, gate keeper, Richard
Hill and Thomas Howey, both farmers, Thomas Ashby, blacksmith, Thomas Ellis,
builder, and Richard Knott, labourer. They were all Trustees of the Chapel,
along with Henry Williams, gardener, Decimus Howlden, grocer, and John Kettle,
also a grocer, all of Saffron Walden, together with Joseph Davey, farmer, and Thomas
Everett, labourer, both of Hinxton.
By
March 1856 the number of members had fallen to 17. The number of Ickleton
residents at this time was about 700.
The
Chapel had 96 pew seats, which would have to be paid for, and 104 free
sittings.
Income
for the year was £23/18/10½, pew rents
amounting to £3/1/3d, and expenditure £22/ 10s.
In
1932 the two branches of Methodism amalgamated and Ickleton became part of the
Bishop’s Stortford circuit, covering three counties.
In
1981 a gift of land at the side and rear of the chapel enabled a vestry/kitchen
and toilet to be built. Membership at this time was 16. During the 1980s the Anglican Church Sunday School
met in the chapel, until increased numbers made this impractical.
In
1995 the chapel was refurbished, during which time the congregation met in the
Parish Church. The pews were replaced
by comfortable chairs and the chapel reopened in December of that year.
The
150th Anniversary in 2002 saw a whole week of celebrations including
a midweek ‘songs of praise’ and Saturday concert, culminating in a Sunday
afternoon service with David Kossoff as guest speaker, followed by a
traditional Methodist tea. The service
had to be held in the village hall to accommodate all the visitors.
A
large proportation of the archives are held at Essex Record Office, and time
constraints have made it impossible to consult these to give a more
comprehensive history. It is hoped to
rectify this to a certain extent in an exhibition to celebrate the bi-centenary
of Primitive Methodism in 2010, probably in Saffron Walden. Rosina

ICKLETON SOCIETY
Unfortunately
we have had to cancel the Remembrance event we had intended to put on in the
Church on Friday 7th November due to illness and other factors. We are very sorry, but hope to hold this
event next year. In the meantime we are
planning one of our usual walks over the Christmas and New Year holiday to help
you burn off a few calories.
The wine tasting we held last February proved so popular that we hope to stage another one early in 2009. More information next month.

Member’s
Night was held in September this year, and took the form of a cheese tasting
evening laid on by the staff of Waitrose, Saffron Walden, and organised by
Mavis Peck and her helpers. In lieu of
a fee the staff accepted a donation for the Teenager’s Trust ward in
Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
Peter
Lawrence was the speaker for October. Peter, with the help of slides, took us
on a tour of London Docklands, past and present, including Canary Wharf (very
topical!). Peter’s historic and
geographical knowledge is exceptional, and we learnt a great deal in the space
of one hour. Members requested that we book him again to talk about the history
of medieval churches.
The
next meeting will be on November 19th when the speaker Andrew
Jackson will show slides and talk about ‘Surprising Suffolk’.
Visitors
welcome.

GT. CHESTERFORD
& DISTRICT GARDENING SOCIETY
The
October meeting was well attended and much enjoyed. Graham Proctor from the
Crown Nursery, near Woodbridge spoke about the history of apples, and gave a
hands-on demonstration of apple pruning and grafting.
On
October 10th twenty-five members visited Prince Charles’ garden at
‘Highgrove’. This was the highlight of our gardening year.
Winner
of the best bloom competition – a dahlia, was won by Marilyn Richardson, well
done Marilyn!
At
next month’s meeting on November 5th we will learn how to grow vegetables
in raised beds. Visitors welcome.

NEWS FROM DUXFORD
SCHOOL
This
first half term at school has flown by.
We
have welcomed the new Reception class into the school, who are settling in very
well.
They
were very proud to show how well they are doing with their literacy skills,
when parents and carers were invited into school a few weeks ago.
Years
3 & 4 visited Audley End Mansion, where they were given Victorian names and
had an opportunity to see what life as a servant was like in a stately home. It
was a very successful visit.
Years
2 & 6 have had their class assemblies, with Year 2 giving a lovely
rendition of counting from 1 to 10 in Italian, from their recent Italian
lessons.
We
had a wonderful Harvest Festival assembly, with a great response to our request
for gifts, and the staff of Jimmy’s Night Shelter were delighted. The Macmillan Coffee Morning held the same
day in school, raised £120 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Our
popular chess, pottery and film clubs have resumed with record numbers
attending, and our after school sports clubs continue to be very popular. We are very grateful to all the volunteers
from the community who give up their time to run these clubs. If you have a good idea for a school club,
do get in touch with us.
Parents
and carers were invited to attend a weekly course this half term, called
‘Keeping up with the Children in Numeracy’, which explains how maths is taught
in schools, and provides strategies to support children at home. The course has been very well received.
The
last day of half term is a special day in school, when the children get into
their ‘house groups’ and take part in a range of fun activities with a
team-building theme. The four houses
are named after aeroplanes: Concorde, Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane. Children are awarded house points for all
sorts of good behaviour or good work; these are collected weekly, shared in
assembly and at the end of each half-term the winning house is rewarded with a
special House Playtime. At the end of
the ‘house day’ the house captains for the forthcoming year will be
elected.
Next
half term will be even busier. The
school PTA are hosting the Duxford Art Fair on 7th November where a
piece of artwork form every child will be on display alongside work from many
local professional artists. Towards
the end of term the children will of course also be getting ready for
Christmas!
Clare Delderfield - Parent Governor
IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM
On
final approach to take ownership of Duxford’s historic runways
The
Imperial War Museum has today announced it is in the final stages of
negotiation to take ownership of a significant area of land immediately
adjoining the Museum in an agreement that will protect the runway at IWM
Duxford and ensure the famous airfield remains open to historic aircraft for
years to come.
With
the support and agreement of Cambridgeshire County Council, which presently
owns the land, the IWM will purchase the runway and the grassland surrounding
it, thereby contributing to the long term preservation of the historic airfield
whilst simultaneously enabling the Museum to better plan for its future as a
leading centre of international heritage aviation.
Since
1977, when it was transferred by the Secretary of State for Defence, the large
area of grass that includes Duxford’s two runways – one grass and one tarmac –
has been owned by Cambridgeshire County Council. Now, following agreement in principle by Councillors at the
Council’s Cabinet meeting on 7th October, ownership of the land will
pass to the Imperial War Museum, which already owns the remainder of the
historic airfield and its listed buildings, contemporary hangars and exhibition
buildings, and many of the former RAF buildings to the north of the A505.
Commenting
on the agreement, Richard Ashton, Director of IWM Duxford, said: “This is an
important and historically significant achievement for the Museum. By gaining ownership of the runways and the
land around them the IWM has ensured the preservation for future generations of
the historic airfield, its heritage and landmark buildings and the wonderful
landscape context it is set in. I am
grateful for the support shown by Cambridgeshire County Council in bringing
this transfer of ownership to fruition.
It can only serve to strengthen Duxford’s reputation as the leading
centre of heritage aviation in the world.”
