During the meeting, Julia gave a very interesting talk on “A Flower Arranger’s Garden” and demonstrated two small, simple designs using the plants included in the talk. She was encouraging the use of garden plants suitable for flower arrangements and particularly mentioned seven which provide all year round foliage and are very versatile for creating arrangements.

She gave a description of all plants with information on growing conditions, uses and care.

The seven named were Phormium Tricolour - New Zealand Flax.Pittosporum - tenuifolium (New Zealand).Vibernum Tinus.Pieris Japonica - Little

Heath - Flame Flower.Hedera Helix - IvyRosmarinus officimalis - RosemaryCupressus - Cypress

Care must be taken when trimming or pruning plants, many flowerarrangers get a little to scissor happy and suddenly leave theirgardens looking bare and plants too weak to survive. Always takecare when removing plant material, keep the shape of plants inyour gardens so they are still pleasing to the eye. Donot cut fresh shoots and if your plant needs resting through the winter,allow this to take place as pruning through winter can damage somevarieties so please do read all about your plants before taking largechunks off for your arrangements.

APRIL MEETING

[5]

I would just like to say thank you so much to the ladies who joined me today at my workshop and helped create an amazing fifteen bouquets for The Lonely Bouquet Campaign on behalf of NAFAS and Burbage Flower Club. I have attached a few pictures of the bouquets that were created and also some in place waiting to be found.The idea was to help spread the word about NAFAS and also spread the joy and happiness that flower arranging can bring to others.

We managed to make fifteen bouquets between six of us, in an hour, and we then distributed them in

the following towns and villages, Burbage, East Grafton, Great

Bedwyn, Hungerford, and Marlborough.

I have already received a phone call from a lady who found a bouquet on top of the meter in the car park at Hungerford, she would like to thank everyone involved in this campaign. The lady is having a really difficult time at the moment and this bouquet really cheered her up and made her smile today, so thank you. We know one bouquet made it to Great Shefford :-)

BURBAGE FLOWER CLUBMAY MEETING

On Wed 11 June, Pam Lewis, a National Flower Demonstrator from the South West Area of NAFAS gave a wonderful and captivating demonstration entitled “Summers Bounty”.

Pam entertained us all with her chat as she made her arrangements, making it look oh so easy! As you will see from some of the photos they were quite spectacular.

There were also a number of stallholders selling their wares including plants, cards, jewellery and furniture fabrics.

The ladies helping in the kitchen served either tea, coffee or Pimms which was all

very much appreciated.

At the end of the evening there was a raffle when Pam handed out all her

arrangements. She doubled her efforts by producing duplicates which she had made earlier so there were a number of very lucky winners

Although the Lotus Esprit was in production for over twenty years between the 1970s and 1990s, the early eye-catching Giugiaro design will be its legacy. Its stunning looks and performance have made it one of the great British classics of all time.

Following on from the Europa as Lotus’s two seat mid engined sports car, it was more refined technically with a more up-market overall presentation.

It was quick for its period (0-60 in 6.5secs) achieved by a combination of its excellent 160bhp engine and a GRP body giving it an all up weight of only

1,200Kg. The wide track and short wheelbase give excellent roadholding with very positive and responsive handling in all conditions.

The later turbo models with more power make it more lively, but the smoothness of the normally aspirated engine gives a better overall driving experience. In many ways it hasn’t dated, and good examples can be found for about £10,000, and for a mature driver on a limited mileage policy it can be very reasonable to insure.

The driving experience is better

than many current day sports cars and as a stable, potentially increasing asset, it offers excellent value for money too.

This model was acquired in 2009 requiring a total engine rebuild and mechanical overhaul. Since completion of about four month’s work, it has provided reliable every day transport.

If you have an interesting classic which you would like reviewed, please contact the editor.

We could have danced! (Pete and Eileen, Roger and Glenda, Chris and Judith, Steve and I all go to dancing classes in the Village Hall) but, we had a job to do! Pete, the captain and the rest of us, crew, mustered at 10.00 am on Monday 12 May on board canal boat ‘Hannah’ - (one of the Bruce Trust vessels) to await orders and the arrival of our Canal Breaks for Special Children passengers. Then they came: five young ladies and their two teachers from Rowdeford School, bearing all their luggage for a 3 day “cruise”.

First of all was a coffee break (one of many), a welcome to our guests and getting to know everyone’s names. (it’s called meet and greet). Then came instructions and safety briefing. The itinerary was explained – Great Bedwyn to Pewsey in a day, where a fish and

chip supper would be taken and overnight mooring. Our guests were invited to help with operating locks whenever they felt

confident to do so, and it was

suggested they might occasionally like to walk between locks. “Walk!?” they said, and one can imagine the thoughts entering their minds: “we’re not jolly well walking, we’re going to ride on the boat!” But, they did walk and they enjoyed it. Despite initial reservations, they opened and closed locks with growing expertise, had a go at steering, and even helped wash up!At noon we moored up

and all sat down to a buffet lunch, lovingly purchased, lovingly prepared. Masses of food

washed down with lashings of ginger beer – well, fruit juice and tea anyway, and jolly nice too.A highlight of the afternoon was the journey through the Bruce Tunnel. All went dark and very quiet. The boat’s lights

cast eerie curved shadows on the walls as we slowly but surely headed towards a small but ever increasing oval of lime green iridescent light - quite a magical experience. Nor did we have to leg it!And did it rain? Yes, it did! But only a bit - well quite a big bit, a couple of big bits, but also lots of dry weather and some sun too. They had good sunshine on the next two days and I hope have gone home with lots of happy memories from their canal break, plus a bit of a tan. For us it was quite as good as dancing.

A DAY ON THE KENNET AND AVON CANAL

[13)

The Canal Breaks for Special Children supported by Burbage All Saints started over 20 years ago by Pat and Mike Eley and to start with offered a complete weeks break for a children's home from Wales, when the home closed down the thoughts were to cater for children

closer to home.We have young people from local schools that have a variety of disabilities both learning and physical. The boat we use is hired from the Bruce's Trust and can cater for wheelchairs as it has a wide beam and perfect for disabled people to

enjoy time on the canal and get involved in helping with all aspects of the day from opening the locks to steering the boat.

All our helpers are volunteers and we would like to say a huge thank you to them in making this years event such a

WOMAN’S OWNAfter the business of the AGM at the start of the year the 2014 programme resumed in February with an in depth illustrated talk by Nick Snashall on Avebury – the story so far, charting the historical importance of the stones and present day work in maintaining them. This is a wonderful piece of ancient history almost on our doorstep and well worth a visit or revisit.

March ‘s meeting was a superb audio visual display of gardens open under the National Garden Scheme by David Moon, all his own photography. He gave a brief history of the scheme which started in 1927 to raise money for nursing and still largely focuses on nursing and caring charities such as Macmillan Nurses and the Hospice movement. Sissinghurst, Bodnum, West Dean and Mary Berry’s garden (good refreshments there!) were among the spectacular gardens shown. David also gave us a visual tour of his own garden through the seasons, just to make us all green with envy (even if our fingers aren’t green!) Not a weed, not a molehill nor even a deadhead featured in any of them. He certainly inspired us to visit some open gardens. All we need now is a lovely spring and summer.

Also in March we were delighted to welcome a new committee member, Jan Appleton, who will assist Elaine with the catering.

April saw the Woman’s Own Birthday celebration. The usual delicious savoury dishes were brought by members, whilst puddings, by tradition, were provided by the committee. All fuel for the brain, as a very difficult quiz followed. They get harder each year!

Our most recent meeting featured a most interesting illustrated talk about Westonbirt Arboretum by one of the volunteers, Graham Ansty and enjoyed by a good sized audience of members and guests. He gave us a history of the

Arboretum from it’s founding by Victorian philanthropist, Robert Holford, who laid out the main paths and had tree specimens collected from around the world, ensuring that each view would be aesthetically pleasing, to the present work of caring, collecting and conserving continued by the Forestry Commission.

Pictures throughout the seasons were shown to tantalize and tempt us into visiting or revisiting. The best loved has to be the Autumn with it’s rich display of maples, but Graham showed that other species especially indigenous varieties have much to offer by way of visual feast, and that even the winter months

[19]

have their beauty. The underlying message being: don’t just come in autumn! At least a third of all the visitors are concentrated into October, stretching facilities to their limits

New features are continually being planned. The Downs, where once one parked, are being restored to natural grassland with wildflowers. Soon to be opened is the new Welcome Building. The next will be a tree canopy walk, taking the best features of the many viewed from around the world.

All kinds of activities happen here, for all ages. Westonbirt hosts music festivals, woodworking classes, exhibitions and workshops, themed family activities and group guided tours. The Great Oak Hall can be hired for weddings and other celebrations and events. But the principle aim is to bring the beauty of trees to as wide an audience as possible.

The vote of thanks was given by Ann Kempson, who was suitably rewarded by again winning one of the raffle prizes! The other prize was won by Claire de Roemer.

WOMAN’S OWN

[20]

A few months ago Becks from the Mace store offered IT’S A STITCH-UP some very nice knitting magazines of the sort that can be collected and compiled, each with a free ball of wool, that had been ordered and never collected.

The request was that we do something for charity with the wool rather than just sharing it out and squirrelling it away. Suitably challenged we set to with knitting needles and a book of simple knitting ideas, with the aim of creating a collection of items to sell at the School Fete in July, to raise money for Crohn’s disease.

Fortunately we have some expert knitters in our group to help those of us who are not natural knitters (like me).

It’s been at least forty years since I even looked at a pattern and it took me a while to recall the strange language of knitting! However by the end of the session – only three hours – I had completed the back of my

owl lavender bag, all of about 6 x 10 cm, without dropping a single stitch! Next session I would do the front – no problem at all. Reader, I confess that I did not.

Fortunately some are far more prolific, the photos show finished work and work in progress. Please do come and see what we have made at the school fete on 5 July – and perhaps buy something

for this worthwhile cause. I am hoping my finished contribution will be there.

Our next meeting is 28 June, and thereafter the third Saturday of each month, from 9.30am to 12.30pm in the Church Centre.

We would love to see you if you have an interest in any kind of stitching or textile work – or if you simply want to have a go. There is always someone who knows something about something and willing to give help or advice.

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 themselves, 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. and catch up with friends for a chat and partake of the wonderful homemade cakes and other sustenance on offer and to have a hot or cold drink.Successful clubs include The Flower Club, Film Club, Camera Club and most recently the Model Railway Club.

MARKET SELLERS –

The goods on sale are very varied and at each Market there is a mix of regulars and new sellers.

These include:

Food and grocery items, including jams and chutneys, fruit juices, sweets such as fudge, cakes and savouries.

Crafts include items in material; handmade, bespoke and manufactured cards to suit all tastes and occasions, jewellery, paintings & drawings.

Other items include clothing items, leather goods, handbags, hair accessories, household items, Christmas decorations and many more.

We are continually looking for new and interesting people to come and show their goods.

on the track and scenery layout build. To pay for all of this we are hoping that there will be donors of old model rail equipment and a Member subscription of £1 - £2 each month. When completed, it is our intention to display the layout at suitable local events that are held in Burbage, Great Bedwyn, the Collingbournes and Pewsey.

We welcome new members and any donations you may wish to make towards tour Club layout.

We met for our April session on Monday, 14th April at the British Legion Hall. It was a very exciting meeting as Member Chris P brought a baseboard, tracks and a power supply unit for us to try out various combinations of track layouts for the Club's future project. After much discussion spread over nearly one hour, it was agreed that Members Chris P and Simon A would start work on two semicircular baseboards that can be joined to make a semi-oval layout probably consisting of up to three running tracks based on three radii tracks. After the baseboard is complete, Members will be expected to work

[26]

Burbage & District Model Railway Club

At the May session of the Burbage & District Model Railway Club, we were delighted to welcome several visitors and new members to our Club session and to display the start of our Club's new layout.

Our visitors included Mr John and Mrs Mary Powell and John's sister Mrs Marie Dixon who had brought their Hornby O gauge tinplate trains set dating back to pre-war years. This was a set given to John during the 1940's after which the set finished up in their attic to be recently re-discovered by Marie. A demonstration was set up and this created much interest amongst the members present.

We welcomed new members who included enthusiasts from Marlborough, Great Bedwyn and Milton Lilbourne. All of them had built layouts in the past, including one outdoor ‘O’ gauge layout, and we now look forward to benefit from their wide experience range in this hobby.

Chris P and Simon A brought along the baseboard, which will form the first of our layouts. The layout consists of two separate boards that can be dismantled if these need to be transported to other sites for display or construction. The design offers much flexibility and other sections can be added later if the members wish.

There was much discussion on the baseboard design and whether we should model a local feature. However, it was concluded that the baseboard presently prepared by Chris P and Simon A are good enough as a starter albeit it may require some strengthening prior to laying the rails. The topic of a layout based on local feature was agreed upon but after the initial layout was completed. It was agreed that we could model individual local feature/s for the existing layout if the membership wished.

The cost for buying components was also discussed and it was agreed that we should try to maintain a £100 float. The membership agreed to this, £70 was raised almost instantly, and this will now be used for the purchase of rails and scenery modelling materials.

We are hoping that some members will bring their surplus items for sale at the next session and all are invited to bid for the items they desire to purchase.

If you would like to attend and/or donate any item, which could be used for the layout, please do let me know.

Please feel free to call me, Sonny Hamid, tel: 01672 811 933 or Simon "Ash" Ash on 01672 811 599 if you wish to discuss this wonderful activity further.

See you at the next meeting.

BURBAGE & DISTRICT CAMERA & VIDEO CLUB

At our recent meetings we have been demonstrating the way in which Photoshop Elements can improve the simplest of photos.

The results of the processed images were just stunning.

We evaluated the Professional Portrait software and discovered its worth in improving skin tones, teeth, lips and slight changes to facial features. Most of us were inspired enough to purchase the software for our own use

In April, Members decided between two options. The first was to take shots in and around Burbage providing the weather was suitable or second to continue our investigation in using Portrait Professional software and taking more portrait shots providing more models would attend the meeting.

An additional photo opportunity is also available to the club. Our club members are invited to a shoot session of an equestrian event on Saturday 7 June. Members wishing to attend this event must inform Sonny Hamid or Mike Bird beforehand.

We are still seeking new members, both those who are new to the hobby and can gain more benefit from their photographic equipment and others who are more knowledgeable and can provide more interest in our hobby by contributing from their experience.

Do you have old camera and cine equipment? If yes, let me know.

According to the last census, there are 47,608 people in Wiltshire providing care and support to a relative, child, partner or friend who would not be able to manage on their own. There are many reasons why someone may not be able to cope unaided including physical or mental disability, old age, long-term illness, special educational need, eating disorder or a problem with drugs or alcohol.It is estimated that 3 in 5 people will become a carer at some point in their lives. The problem is that most people will not identify themselves as such – people simply consider themselves as a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or friend doing what they would be doing anyway. Many also mistake the word ‘carer’ with those providing paid care work in a residential home or domiciliary

agency capacity.Carer Support Wiltshire is a charity with a team of support workers who can provide information and support to carers living in Wiltshire, at the other end of the telephone, or face to face, along with accessing to counselling and advice relating to your role. All of our services are free and confidential for anyone aged 18 and over and we can offer you the chance to have a break through social cafés, days out, activities, craft groups and complementary therapies.
