Find us on Facebook
We have enjoyed welcoming the new children at pre-school over the last few weeks
and hearing all about everyone’s summer holidays – look out for the display board in
the village hall! Our varied weekly timetable has resumed, promoting healthy
choices wherever we can: from fresh air and exercise to choosing healthy toppings
for muffin based mini pizzas. Following requests from numerous parents, we have
now put our tried and tested pre-school recipes into a cookbook that will be
available to buy soon – let Tania or Naomi know if you’d like a copy.
The last day of the summer term brought a visit from Ofsted. We were pleased
that they recognised the strong quality of teaching and that the children benefit
from highly skilled practitioners who encourage them to solve problems and
develop their thinking skills. Overall we got a good grading.
Our AGM is on 20th October at 8 p.m. in the village hall and we would like to invite
all parents who use the pre-school, breakfast and after school clubs; and anyone
else who would like to attend. Look out for more information about what’s going on
and upcoming events on our website and Facebook page.
The pre-school and after school club committee are delighted to be organising this
year's bring and share harvest supper on Saturday 17th October at 7.30. Look out
for posters around the parish with more details or contact me on 07817175460 or
catherinegwynne@doctors.org.uk to let me know if you can come and what you can
bring! We look forward to another sociable and fun community evening!

The Beacon Federation - Executive Headteacher - Mrs. Jane Byrne
Ugborough Primary School.
Training School News
Last year we were supporting a school in Tavistock as part of our Training School
Programme. That work has been successfully completed.
This year the governors have agreed to a request from the Local Authority to
support Holbeton Primary School through a Management Partnership. This means
that Jane will become the Executive Head at Holbeton for the next 12 months and
will be working across all three schools (Ermington, Ugborough and Holbeton). A
joint committee of governors will monitor this arrangement.
We are looking forward to this opportunity to work with another local school which
has always had a close relationship with Ugborough and Ermington and are
confident that the arrangement will be to everyone’s benefit. Funding from the
Training School Programme will continue to be used to fund staffing enhancements
and staff development across the Federation.
New Website
We are pleased to announce that we now have a new Federation website at
www.beaconfederation.com Do let us know if there is anything you can’t find!
Our sincere thanks go to Sue Roberts who has worked tirelessly on this major
project throughout the summer. Without her input and the guidance of Alex
Nimmo-Smith we would not have got this off the ground. Thank you again.
Volunteers
Should you have any time at all to spare, we really would be truly grateful for your
help in any form. The obvious “listening to children read” and the not so obvious –
gardening, filing etc would be just as welcome. Please see Beverley in the office if
you can help. A DBS check and a simple application form is all that is needed.

Rainfall at Shellwood Hill for August 2015 George Arnison Below is our record for rainfall at Shellwood Hill for August. Rather a wet month
with 180.5mm (slightly over 7”) recorded, compared to 150mm in 2014, 71.5mm in
2013, 205mm in 2012 and 115.5mm in 2011. August is definitely over-rated!
Beryl’s Bookworms -Anne Holway in Sue’s absence
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent The book was set in Northern
Iceland in 1829. A woman, Agnes, is condemned to death for
murdering her lover. A family was forced to take her in until her execution and a
priest tasked with absolving her. Many of us found the first few pages, loaded
with Icelandic names and places, off putting. However, this soon became
irrelevant. The main thrust of the story is based on Agnes’ life both past and
present .The author weaves beautiful descriptive prose around her characters
giving the reader a real sense of what it was like to live in those harsh
conditions. This tale, based on a real life story, becomes more and more gripping
as you read on. As a debut novel, we felt Hannah Kent had written an outstanding
book. Our marks out of 5 reflected this, the lowest was 4 while the majority gave
it 4.5. It is unusual for us all to agree on a book’s merits, perhaps the dissenters
were all on holiday! * I wonder what the male perspective will be……….well that will
solve Tom’s holiday reading!(*I was on holiday and really enjoyed this book. I would
score it 4.5- Ed.)

Your Stars Tonight. My astral contemplations are jarred by a distant
rendition of “Someday my prince will come”. Eventually it dies away
but then strikes up again … and again. With sinking heart I realise
that the Ugborough Pantomime rehearsal season has started in
earnest. A breathless steamed dietor appears and proclaims “I have started my
regime of daily practices so as to be at the peak condition for our performances in
February”. I am briefly consoled by the thought that, just maybe, our Cinderella
will equal, if not exceed, the splendour of the opening ceremony of the 2012
Olympics. Then I groan inwardly as I realise that for the next four weeks we are
touring the Iberian Peninsula and I will be imprisoned in a small tin container with a
febrile thespian as my sole companion. I fear for my mental wellbeing and retire to
the darkened garden to seek a cosmic peace.
The summer triangle of stars of Deneb, Vega and Altair, the brightest stars in the
constellations of Cygnus, Lyra and Aquila, slowly head into the south western
Horizon straddling the soft light of the Milky Way. Once my eyes have adjusted I
get out the binoculars and the soft mist is magnified into a sea of sparkling stars,
which when viewed through the telescope become a multitude of uncountable stars.
I decide to have a closer look at the area of sky in the constellation of Lyra and
half way between the two bright stars at the bottom of Lyra is a hazy patch of
light. I glance away and immediately the wonder of averted vision gives me a
glimpse that the patch of light has a hole in the middle. Switching between direct
and averted vision I at last train my eye (and brain) to see Messier Object 57 –
usually referred to as the Ring nebula - and just like the first time I saw it I feel
like shouting “It really is a ring” as it floats in the starry background looking for all
the world like a cosmic smoke ring.
How it was made might be the basis for a pantomime script. “Once upon a time
there was a Jolly Red Giant of a star who over billions of years grew bigger and
bigger so it would have been easily visible from a back garden in Ugborough. But it
became bloated and boastful until one day the Gravity Queen said “the time has
come for you to collapse under your own weight.” And sure enough it did. But as it
collapsed the Gravity Queen squeezed the iron heart in the centre of the star to
incredible pressure until it awoke Wicked Witch of Thermonuclear Physics who
squawked “I can’t take the pressure” and started a runaway nuclear reaction which
made the star explode. And now all that is left of the Jolly Red Giant is a tiny
White Dwarf Star, so tiny that it can’t be seen, except by really large telescopes,
and a smoke ring of cosmic smoke and debris fleeing from this nuclear disaster.”

Ugborough Village Hall - Stafford Williams
The survey of the community regarding potential refurbishment of the Hall has
been completed and the Committee are analysing the comments to discern the
consensus on priorities. A summary of the key points will be published once all the
ideas have been reviewed.
The summer was relatively busy for the Hall, but there was time for a few routine
repairs and administrative tasks. Some of the larger jobs require fund raising, but
it is hoped that there will be enough to repair the side access path and complete
some paint tasks. It is hoped that the Hall will prove to be a suitable site for the
proposed village defibrillator, but final plans remain to be drawn up by the Parish
Council.
Sports report - Janner Motson
CUP ACTION FOR UGGIES
The Uggies hosted higher league opposition in the South West FrootLoops Premier
Conference South by South East Association Trophy Vase Competition when
National favourites Melchester Rovers visited last week. They boast their famous
striker Roy Race, who still tops the scoring charts in his 61st season with the club
despite losing a foot in a helicopter crash in 1993. Now partnered with his son
Rocky, himself in his late 30s, Roy is also manager and married to Club Secretary,
Penny Laine.
The Melchester team were fresh back from their tour of Mienameistan where Roy
and Rocky were both kidnapped by gangsters trying to rig the betting on the match
with National Champions Balin Theair, but miraculously they escaped to score the
winning goal just in the nick of time.
Uggies acquitted themselves well leading 2-0 at half-time after Rocky Race was
sent off for punching the mascot ‘Sideshow Melchy’, and they were able to kick on
in the second half. Goals came from Ken Domuch and Will Batteram and the Uggies
looked good at 4-0 up with only 2 minutes left to play. It was then that Roy came
off the bench and when the final whistle came the Uggies had lost 5-4 following an
unexpected 27 minutes of time added on.
So, the Uggies miss out on European football again this year, but they enjoyed
their day in the Sun…and the Mirror…as all the National Papers ran full game
reports. As for Roy, he was last seen being bundled into a black sedan by masked
gunmen….all in a day’s work for a football pro at Melchester Rovers.

Chance for crime victims to meet offenders
Anyone who’s ever been the victim of a crime, no matter how small it is perceived
to be, will know that it’s not simply the immediate effects of the crime itself that
are felt. The impact can last for days, months and years, and can affect people
far beyond the immediate victims.
There is now an opportunity for people who have been the victims of crime to
access a restorative justice process that would give the opportunity to come face
to face, or, correspond, with the perpetrator, and to seek the closure they often
need to be able to move on with their lives, by asking the questions that remain
unanswered about the crime.
Restorative justice creates opportunities for people affected by crime, conflict,
anti-social behaviour or the harmful actions of others to come together with the
person responsible, and seek answers to their questions and explain the impact the
incident had on them.
The process helps everyone move on. It gives those who accept responsibility for
the incident an insight into the impact of their behaviour, and creates
opportunities to find ways in which they can make amends.
Everyone taking part will be supported throughout the process by one of the
trained independent professionals located across Devon, who will meet with the
parties involved to talk about what happened and the effect it had on them, and if
both parties want to meet, this will be arranged; or if not an alternative found,
such as a letter exchange or recorded meetings.
If a meeting is possible, a suitable and neutral venue for this to take place will be
found, and the professional will guide the meeting to ensure that everyone has the
opportunity to have their say. Both parties can bring a friend, family member or
advocate with them, and everyone involved will be part of the planning process.
Anyone in Devon who has been a victim of a crime, and who thinks that a
restorative justice process would benefit them can contact Community Solutions on
01752 304136; e-mail RJ@plymouth.gcsx.gov.uk or use Twitter @DevonRJustice.
Restorative justice is funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner as part of his
responsibilities for victims of crime.

West Devon & South Hams at Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service
Prevention Manager Danny Slay is offering a free Home Safety Visit to vulnerable
people in the community. Their Home Safety Visit takes around 30-45 minutes and
as part of the visit they work with the occupier/owner to look at Fire related
safety issues and, where required, fit free 10 year battery life smoke alarms. In
addition, they can provide a range of other items on a risk based approach
including fire retardant bedding, throws, Carbon Monoxide and hard of hearing
smoke alarms. Vulnerable groups are
• Anyone over 65
• Smokers
• Anyone with children
• Households where main carer is under 18
• Anyone on benefits
• Anyone with a Dementia or Mental Health
The aim is to ensure people get the support and advice they need to reduce the
risk of fires in their homes. In addition, they will soon be conducting Falls Risk
Assessments alongside our Fire Safety Visits for persons over the age of 65. If
you are interested in receiving this free service, please contact Danny Slay on
Managerdslay@dsfire.gov.uk or call 01752 333605
The Neighbourhood Development Plan is progressing, with consultations in early
2016 and a revised completion in the spring. The local affordable housing needs
survey is now available, and is being factored into the Plan. A reminder that those
seeking affordable housing must register on www.devonhomechoice.com, and those
seeking help to buy must use www.helptobuy.org.uk.
Planning applications Councillors supported the proposed agricultural livestock
building at East Cannamore, Avonwick and the lean-to extension to the existing
straw barn at the Donkey Sanctuary, Godwell Lane, Ivybridge. A neutral response
was given to the resubmitted application for a single storey extension at Erme
View, Donkey Lane, Ugborough.
Concern was expressed that SHDC would not be consulting Parish Councils about
Prior Notification Applications, including the conversion of agricultural buildings to
dwellinghouses. The Parish Council would be responding that, notwithstanding the
11
Regulations, Parish Councils should be consulted, and Gary Streeter MP would be
advised of its concerns.
Devon County Highways has produced some useful webpages:
https://new.devon.gov.uk/devonhighways/ advises you what works are being
undertaken and provides a link to report problems.
Defibrillators will be provided at Ugborough Village Hall (and also in Modbury and
Holbeton) thanks to a TAP application submitted by the Parish Council. The cost of
the defibrillators, amounting to £5400, will be met by TAP grant funding. The
deadline for the 2015/16 TAP grants is 18th December and, if you have any
suggestions, please let us know.
Junk Mail Did you know that 50,000 tonnes of junk mail hits Devon’s doormats
EACH YEAR! DCC’s Waste Team have produced leaflets to encourage the public to
sign up to the Mailing Preference Service, which will remove your name from up to
95% of Direct Mail lists; and letterbox stickers to enable residents to tailor their
mail. Look out for the leaflets and stickers in your library and village halls.
The next Parish Council Meeting will be on Wednesday 7th October, starting at
7.30 p.m. Agenda and minutes are displayed on the noticeboards and website.
Fair and Local- how you can support producers at home and abroad
(information from Fair and local Steering Group, Exeter Diocese)
Support our local dairy farmers by choosing milk products such as yoghurts, cream
and cheese with the Union Jack or Red Tractor logos as this indicates that the
milk is from British dairy farms.
Buy and use Fairtrade products- look for the Fairtrade mark or support
Traidcraft. According to the Fairtrade Foundation, sales of Fairtrade goods have
fallen for the first time in 20 years by more than 4%.
Give consideration to where you do your shopping. Are there local farmshops we
could support? Our switch to shopping in chains such as Aldi and Lidl, which stock
fewer Fairtrade goods, is having an impact. Thousands of producers and artisans in
vulnerable communities in more than 30 developing countries rely on trade through
Traidcraft.
(And- Support Ugborough Sustainable Saturdays- this month on 3rd, 17th

St. Peter’s Church, Ugborough
Harberton Vicarage
September 2015
Dear Friends,
We are now standing on the threshold of a new phase in our Church community life
as we await the imminent arrival of David and Heather. In fact, by the time you
read this they should have taken up residence in the Rectory and be familiarising
themselves with the passing places in our lanes.
I did wonder if our profile should have included a passage to the effect, “Are you
ready to enjoy the beauty of our hedgerows throughout the spring; do you feel
competent to do emergency stops when hares or badgers or foxes jump into the
lane right in front of your car; are you patient enough to wait for herds of cows or
flocks of sheep to be moved around the villages; can you reverse for considerable
distances? If so, you are the person we are looking for in the Three Rivers MC”.
Seriously, though, we have been looking for someone who can lead us through the
next phase of our corporate existence, when we shall face many challenges
spiritually, liturgically, administratively and financially. We are living through times
when any religion can be sneered at, considered at best irrelevant or eccentric, at
worst a destructive and divisive force. It is often hard to admit to being a
Christian, to practising our faith and to finding relevance and meaning in the
Gospel.
But it is also a time when we need to hold firm, not to be found wanting as faithful
disciples of the One who went to the cross rather than deny the integrity of a
godly life. Challenges are good for us – they make us question what is important
and what has perhaps outlived its usefulness, and then work to uphold all that is
good and true and beautiful. Christianity has much to say about generosity,
compassion, truth, self-sacrifice and forgiveness – all virtues so needed in our
world. See how we can apply them to the situations unravelling before our eyes in
so many areas, to the instability of the Middle East, to the wars and terror
prevalent all around, to the desperation of refugees and migrants.
To understand their plight, imagine that it is your son and daughter-in-law and
grandchildren that have left everything to try and reach a safe haven. Would you
not be grateful for any act of kindness shown to them?
14
Then ask – what can we as individuals, as the Christian body, as our nation do to
help? Top of the list comes prayer – which can help to release and generate
practical aid.
Surely every single one of us can spend a few minutes each day holding such people
in a loving embrace before God; who knows what could be the positive outcome
then?
Pray also for David and Heather as they settle among us, become our friends and
lead us on the next stage of our journey through the world to our heavenly home.
Thank you all for what you have done to keep the Good Ship The Three Rivers
Mission Community alive and flourishing during the last year. That clutch of
bunches of keys can now move off my desk…..
With love and prayers,
Caroline
