Vol 1:2

June 2013

It doesn’t seem three months ago since I did our first edition of BURBAGE NEWS QUARTERLY but here we are onto our second one.

This month there is a lot to read because apart from Parish Council news, we have three Organisations from the village who have sent in contributions with a lot of photographs to give it some colour.

We have had a good response this month with information about the Burbage Flower Club, Stitch it Up, Market and Meet events, and the Film Club. Hopefully this will encourage a few more people to become involved with Village activities. Thank you to all contributors.

Tell us what YOU would

like to see in Burbage News

REMEMBER! PLEASE TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME WITH

YOU

Jane Dyson organised another visit from the Geocache CITO (Cache In Trash Out) to help with the village Litter Pick.

Together with the Parish Council Village Maintenance Team and Burbage Parishioners who volunteered their help, there were more than fifty people; adults and children and between them they managed to cover all areas - and a wonderful job they did (see map on the left).

Thank you to all who took part.

The sulo bin was full, but considering the whole village was covered, that is

better than several years ago when we could fill the bin with much less area coverage.

At the last Parish Council Meeting, all Councillors were pleased with the praise received on just how tidy our village was and what a great, pretty community we live in.

This demonstrates that the work the Parish Council continues to do and build is recognised and positive.

We could ALL DO OUR BIT here by

NOT DROPPING LITTER IN

THE FIRST PLACE!

Geocaching is a worldwide outdoor treasure hunt game using GPS enabled devices. Participants look for treasure based on co-ordinates that are posted on the Geocaching website. www.geocaching.com I

It is a free game open to all and the Geocaching community prides itself on being environmentally friendly and "leaving nothing but a shadow". Whilst always encouraged to 'Cache In Trash Out whilst out playing the game, there is a weekend each year dedicated to this.

Around the world people organise events so that Geocachers can gather together with

the aim of litter picking on a small or sometimes huge scale.

It was brilliant that the Village Litter pick date fitted with this weekend as it meant that we were hopeful of a good turnout. In fact the turnout was better than expected. The cachers 'log' on the website that they attended, and the comments made by those who came to Burbage were that they were very impressed by the overall lack of litter to find, making the challenge a bit harder for them. The brilliant sunshine on the day certainly helped too, with lots of smiling faces as we gathered to show off our pickings.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW RESIDENTS IN THE VILLAGE!

Gra!on Bugle and Herald

A visitor to Wiltshire today SLAMMED the new changes imposed on the Marlborough Road in Burbage. Overnight new Toll Gates have been erected and two woodsmen, known as Toll-Sprite’s, have been employed to extract new Toll Fees from passing traffic.

Brian Helix (37) had been travelling to East Grafton from his home near Weston super Mare in Somerset to visit lifelong friends he met at Christmas. Having arrived 5 months into his journey, Brian discovered to his HORROR and DISMAY he arrived on the very day new tolls were in force south of Savernake.

“It is an outrage” Brian added. “I know the roads in Wiltshire need resurfacing, my foot’s killing me, but for the wildlife traveller everything is so expensive now. I’ve got a wife and 87 children at home, they all need new shells before term begins next week, and now this?” adding “I don’t know where the money’s going to come from”

Visitor from Somerset SLAMS new Toll charges

"e new#aper for $ Gra!on’s - making news interesting since 2013

Despite remonstrating with the Toll-Sprites, Brian had to flag down a passing motorist to pay his 50p toll “I’m a snail, I don’t carry money” Said Mr Helix. He also had to suffer the ignominy of having a biometric passport issued as his final destination was in the disputed Grafton borderlands. “They insisted I give a slime sample” he said “most embarrassing”.

A spokes-gnome for the Burbage Highways Authority insisted these Tolls are fair and legal. “We’ve been in economic downturn for 5 years now, and somehow we need to backfill the fiscal shortfall from Westminster” adding “roads aren’t mending themselves”

Ignoring the grammatical faux pas, Mr Helix paid up and made his way to East Grafton “I even had to

pay for the passport” he said “It’s not as though I can do a U turn and go elsewhere, it takes too long” Brian expects to reach his friends on Friday.

The Eastcourt Road Guardian’s domain

On a quiet night, with a clear sky overhead and the stars twinkling their summer romance over Burbage, Mr Noddy can occasionally be seen sneaking off to Miss Piggy’s place for a

‘bit of a rest’. As yet, Miss Piggy has declined to comment on whether or not she or any of the Muppets will be accepting guardianship duties at the other gates. Perhaps Mr

Noddy has her spell-bound?

Or is it that

little car??

The High Street Gates

I am assured these are guarded by The Invisible Man, who can be seen marching up

and down, frequently shaking his fist at passing motorists on the bypass. Nobody

really takes any notice, though - he’s a bit of a loonie. Never mind. I would not object so much if he didn’t keep pinching the Action Man figures that were posted there earlier

The new white gates introduced at the main

entrances into Burbage appear to have been

adopted by some locals with a refreshing (and

fun) sense of humour! It has certainly made

the gates even more effective at slowing down

the traffic as passers by look to see who’s on

duty there!

I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Rest assured, any photos you send in will be

kept strictly confidential and shared only with

a select few. Via Twitter, Facebook, the

website and probably somewhere else too. But

that’s a secret as well….

The Eastcourt Road Guardian

I am certain there is not a Mr Noddy on the Electoral Register, though!

The Stibb Green Gates

Rumours abound that these gates may be protected by the Muppets. However, one

resident says all the muppets can regularly be seen speeding through the village!

Meeeeeow! Retract those claws, m’dearie!

Members of the Burbage Flower Club at one of their workshops in March when Julia Russett showed her expertise. Everyone went home with a splendid arrangement after working hard!

ENDING THE EVENING ON A BRIGHT AND HAPPY NOTE

BURBAGE FLOWER CLUB

[8]

At the March meeting of the Burbage Flower Club, Julia Russett demonstrated an arrangement using flowers such as lilies, carnations, roses and freesias.

The meeting was well attended and everyone enjoyed watching, learning and working and at the end of the evening taking home a spectacular arrangement.

When you have a passion in life if you are lucky to get to work with and develop that Passion.That is what happens for Julia Russett. Julia has spent all her life around flowers having had parents who were highly skilled florists and worked within the business. Julia decided she wanted to bring the joy of flowers to her local community and also bring people together to understand and also develop skills within a beautiful art – that of flower arranging.

Now if like you are like me and someone said to you lets do flower arranging, I am slung back 40 years into the 70’s with a nice cup of tea and lots of ladies standing around vases debating colour –however 40 years on this is very much NOT the case.

Flower arranging today is about the architecture understanding the variety of flowers and fauna available and how to

make them into living structures that inspire conversations, awe and the occasional ‘wow’.

There is also not much is the way of standing around staring at vases – instead

there is a lot of laughter as the demonstrator or trainer also tell you about their lives and experiences or, simply, because you share a joke or two with your fellow club members.

Flower clubs are no longer the domain of the retired or shy housewives they are for those who wish to share their social skills and embrace a new artistic skill. Designing something from a piece of damp sponge and vegetation is an experience which you cannot write in an article, for in the written word it is simply flower arranging but in reality it is creation, trepidation, excitement and finally a little

marvel at just how interesting and beautiful your damp sponge- vegetation mix is– don’t read about it, try it – I personally promise you won’t regret it!

BURBAGE FLOWER CLUBMAY 2013

Male suada Quis  Dolor Set Ipsum

Once again at our May meeting, Julia Russett held a workshop on the subject of Leaf Manipulation.

Everyone was enthralled by the way she had produced some most dramatic flower arrangements that were raffled at the end of the meeting.

It was a fascinating

evening and every member managed to produce some interesting leaves to place into a flower arrangement.

Here are pictures of both Julia’s displays and the results of Members’ efforts.

The day was warm and sunny, the perfect time for little spiders to leave home. Many young spiders were already floating away on their tiny, silken threads, the gentle breeze carrying them high into the sunny sky. The hungry, young spiders were all eager to find the perfect spot to weave webs to catch their lunch.

At the bottom of the garden, there was a rickety, old shed, an ideal spot for garden spiders to

live. Three little garden spiders decided to make their home in the old shed.

“I like it here,” said Stitch. “I do too,” said Itch.

“It’s okay,” said Frederick, slowly stretching and yawning, he was not in a great hurry to do anything at all.

“If we are going to live here,” said Itch, “we should weave our webs or we will go hungry.”

“You carry on,” said Frederick lazily. “I’m going to have a nap. I’ll make my web later.” Stitch and Itch ran eagerly up and down their tiny, threads. They weaved and weaved and soon, high in the corners of the old shed, were two beautiful, neat and tidy webs that any young spider would be very proud to call home.

“Phew, that was hard work,” they puffed, standing back to admire their handiwork. “Not bad for a first attempt,” they both agreed, smiling.

“I’ve finished too,”

shouted Frederick. Both spiders turned, surprised to see Frederick in a dusty corner of the shed. Frederick had woven a

messy muddle and was peering out from the middle with a huge grin on his face.

“Not bad,” he said cheerfully. “It’s really comfortable too, I must say.”

Itch and Stitch just laughed and laughed, nearly falling from their new homes.

“That’s not a web,” they jeered at him, “that’s a messy muddle.”

“That’s not how you weave a web,” they giggled. “You will never catch your lunch in that.”

“Yes I will!” said Frederick, feeling very cross. He knew his web was just right for him.

“Maybe you’ve made yours wrong,” he said quietly, hoping they didn’t hear him.

Itch and Stitch tried over again to show Frederick how to make a neat and tidy web. They ran up and down making neat and tidy strands, and joined them together with perfectly straight lines. “See, this is how it’s done.” However, no matter how hard he tried,

Frederick just couldn’t do it.

“You’re just too messy,” they told him.

“I like it this way,” he said.

During the long summer days, Frederick would often look up at the webs and wonder why he didn’t like things neat and tidy, and why he preferred the messy muddle in the dusty corner of the shed.

Then one cold, crisp, frosty morning, the sun shone through the dirty, dusty old window of the rickety, old shed. The neat and tidy webs sparkled and glistened like diamonds and stars.

“They are so beautiful,” sighed Frederick sadly, looking at his massive, messy muddle of a web in the dusty, dark corner.

“Beautiful,” heard Frederick, turning to see a large spider that had

crept under the door of the rickety, old shed.

“I know,” said Frederick, ashamed of his messy home. “I just can’t be neat and tidy,” he said, shaking his head.

“No, no, no,” said the spider, “not those.” He pointed to the neat and tidy webs. “I mean yours. It’s a perfect HOUSE SPIDER’S WEB!”

“Really?” asked Frederick, smiling happily. “So I am a House Spider and I’ve made the perfect web?”

Itch and Stitch now understood why Frederick was so messy and they were so neat.

“We’re different, that’s all,” they laughed.

“Can I share your rickety old shed?” asked the visiting spider. “I’m looking for a new home.”

“Yes,” said Frederick, “of course you can, and we can build messy muddles together.

techniques and encouraging each other to develop their own skills and try new ideas. If you want to have a go at something new, or are stuck, or just want a different view point - we are the ones to help! If you have a skill you want to share – we are the ones to share it with! If you just want to get on with some stitching away the

home and family for a morning – we are the ones to accommodate you!

Between us we do all kinds of stitching, knitting, crochet, weaving, soft furnishing and upholstery or just experimenting.

You don’t need lots of experience or knowledge to join us, just enthusiasm or an interest in stitching!

Held in the Village Hall on the second Saturday of each month 10am – 3pm.

These markets started in March 2012 and others followed in April, May, June, July, September and November of that year.

November was our Christmas Market and the village hall was bustling with visitors. and was a very popular event.

In 2013, by request of our regular stallholders, the markets are now being held monthly from February to December.

Meet your friends for tea or coffee and cake

Buy locally-made goods and gifts

Buy locally produced food.

The Market- The original idea was born to serve the community in two ways, those wishing to have the

opportunity to buy and those wishing to sell and also to give those people who are unable to attend events on a week day or in the evening an opportunity to get involved in the Village. The date was chosen to ensure that no distraction was caused to the already successful events being run in the village. All local businesses are especially welcome to showcase their products or services.

The Meet- In addition to the Market sellers we are also able to provide a space for clubs and organisations in the village to introduce their club, raise funds for their clubs and worthwhile causes and to give a regular place for villagers to meet with and discuss any issues they wish.

The Café- Each month the café has been open with local volunteers on hand to welcome visitors and provide a well-earned place to rest.
