them got talking to me as well.

Almost everyone had a story to

tell, either about themselves, a

friend or someone in the family

who had struggled with mental

health problems, most often

with anxiety or depression,

these being the two most

common conditions.

Come along to St Andrew’s Hall

on the evening of Thursday 18

October, 7.30 for 7.45pm for

‘One Man, One Dog, One

Coastline’ when I’ll be talking

about some of the highs, lows

and challenges of walking fifteen

miles every day, including living

in a campervan with a muddy

dog through the worst of the

winter weather and the logistical

challenge of returning to the

campervan after each day’s walk.

I’ll also be speaking about my

experience of talking openly

about mental health to

individuals, groups, the press

and on the radio. The fittest

springer spaniel in England will

be there as well!

In the meantime, more details of

the walk can be found at

Stuart Jessop

Local resident Stuart Jessop reports

back on his recent 2,600-mile

charity walk round England to raise

awareness of mental health.

Most of us have dreams for our

retirement, perhaps a world

cruise or maybe moving from

Chesterton to a pretty cottage

by the seaside. Walking has long

been an important part of my

life and my retirement dream

was to undertake a serious long

distance walk. However, thanks

to my wife Kate’s support I was

able to fulfill my dream on a

sabbatical from my teaching job,

rather than wait ing for

retirement. In October 2011 I

set off from Tower Bridge in

London with Poppy, our

springer spaniel, and a group of

well-wishers. Over the next

eight months Poppy and I

walked 2,600 miles around

England, coast and borders, and

returned successfully to Tower

Bridge in June this year.

Bouts of depression have been a

constant companion since my

teenage years and walking has

been one of my ways of dealing

with the bleakness and despair

that they bring. By talking openly

about my own experiences the

walk became part of a campaign

that all of the major mental

health charities are running to

try to reduce the stigma

associated with talking about

mental health. We also raised

funds for two mental health

charities, SANE and Anxiety UK,

with over £12K being donated

so far.

When I started the walk I knew

about the statistic that one in

four people will suffer from a

diagnosable mental health

condition at some point in their

lives. But now I know what that

statistic really means. Lots of

people stopped to talk to the

dog along the way, and many of

Chesterton Festival 2012 rain made another fleeting visit,

but thankfully it didn’t make

much of a difference to the

crowds or dampen the mood.

In St Andrew's Church, the

flower ladies had created a jaw-

dropping display on the theme

o f Che s t e r t on ' s Roy a l

Connection. In St Andrew's

Hall, the food4food café run by

Wintercomfort kept stall-

holders and shoppers satisfied

with teas, coffees and wonderful

lunch options. Back on the field

there were magic tricks and

wood turning, jazz and football,

books and plants, and that’s to

name but a few of the 40+

Festival stalls. There were also

Open Gardens at Mariners Way

and Capstan Close with cream

teas and plants on sale.

Unfortunately across the day

many a gazebo was

lost in the war with

high winds: we

This year's Festival started on

the evening of Friday 29 June

with a great performance from

several young people's bands at

Brown's Field Youth and

Community Centre. Food was

provided by Cantab Catering in

the shape of fantastic burgers

and hot dogs. We had many

people dancing during the

evening, including our own

councillor Ian Manning (if you

don’t believe this, see the photo

above...)

On the Saturday, around 3,000

people attended the Fun Day on

Pye's Rec. In the morning, stall-

holders had a refreshing shower

as rain fell to greet them, but it

was short-lived and everyone

managed to dry off for the start

of the Festival at 1pm,

announced by St Andrew's bell

ringers. The Festival was

officially opened by Deputy

Mayor, Paul Saunders.

I ring up an old friend after

years of no contact. I visit a

housebound parishioner for the

first time in months. In both

cases I feel distinctly nervous

and fear the accusatory line,

‘Where have you been all this

time?’ But usually it’s not like

that, but rather a smile and a

warm greeting. They are rather

more generous than I might

have been. They make me feel

as if they are pleased to see me

(perhaps they are?) and make

me feel so welcome. If I’d

known that’s what it would be

like I would never have put it off

for so long.

And then I start thinking:

perhaps that’s what it’s like for

people who are wondering

about coming back to church

after a bit of an absence. I

wouldn’t know because in my

job I don’t get the chance to do

that.... Perhaps people feel a

little guilty about coming back,

or embarrassed, worried if they

are noticed (or ignored).

For the past few years the

national church has publicised

the last Sunday in September as

Back to Church Sunday.

Churches around the country

have been geared up to

welcome people back to church

– but not to overdo it with too

much song-and-dance and too

much spotlight on those dipping

their toes back into church life.

The idea is to induce neither

guilt nor embarrassment.

Last year 77,000 people were

courageous enough to go back

to church on the last Sunday in

September, 20 people joining

the regular congregation at each

church that was participating.

Perhaps you have been

wondering about going back to

church. You may feel a little

nervous about it – like me

making my phone call or visit.

Or you may never have been to

church, at least not on a regular

Sunday. Back to Church Sunday

is a good day to take the plunge

– this year it’s on Sunday 30

September. The main services

at St Andrew’s and St George’s

are at 10am; there is a Harvest

F e s t i v a l a t Ches t e r t on

Methodist Church at 11am. We

promise you a welcome – and

that you can leave again without

signing anything, committing to

anything or volunteering for

anything.

Some of you may be interested

in a week-before-back-to-

Church-Sunday service at St

Andrew’s.... Whilst some

people stop coming to church

because they have simply lost

the habit, others stop because

they have lost their faith. Radio

4 listeners may have heard the

recent series by Richard

Holloway, once Bishop of

Edinburgh but now a self-

professed ‘honest doubter’.

We expect faith to be

questioned by militant atheists

such as Richard Dawkins, but

perhaps the other Richard’s

doubts are more undermining: if

even a bishop can lose his

religion...

I must confess that I have a lot

of sympathy with Richard H.

He is a deeply humane person

who asks searching questions

that many of us in the church

duck or hide away from. But I

don’t think we need follow the

same road as the former bishop;

I still think there’s plenty of

space in the Christian tradition

for hard questions and satisfying

– if not conclusive – answers. I

will be preaching about this on

Sunday 23 September at 10am,

under the rather wordy title,

‘Losing my religion? Richard

Holloway, doubt and what

might be left to believe in.’ If

you can’t be there the text will

be on the St Andrew’s website:

News from the Churches St Andrew’s Church, Church Street Members of the youth choir

spent a happy weekend in July

at Ringsfield Hall, a residential

‘EcoCentre’ in Suffolk.

Our Junior Youth Choir

rehearses every Friday during

term-time from 6.15 to 7.15pm

and sings every 1st and 3rd

Sunday at 10am. It is open to

boys and girls from the age of 7, provided that they have a

reasonable ability to read

English and can concentrate in

rehearsals and services.

It provides an excellent musical

training, and we have a great

deal of fun and excitement, with

a full social programme. It does

require a fair degree of

commitment and regularity

from parents and children, but

it is designed to fit in with

normal family life and not to

make excessive demands on

children’s (or parents’) time.

Highlights generally include: working towards gaining the

RSCM ribbons; singing at an old

people’s home; various fund-

raising events; a Christmas

pantomime trip; and the choir

weekend away in July.

Ruth Adams, St

George’s new

vicar, introduces

herself.

I am delighted

to move into

C h e s t e r t o n ,

having lived in the Cambridge

area now since 2000, first as a

chaplain in Trinity College and

then as minister of Bar Hill.

There are many aspects to

being a priest that I love, but I

think the most special to me is

the joy of working in

community with others. I think

this started when I was very

young observing the working of

the Corrymeela Community, a

group of Christians from all

traditions in Northern Ireland

who work together to break

down the division between

people.

I look forward to meeting the

many different people that make

up the Chesterton community

as well as the community in St

George’s. I love to chat, so if

you meet me and recognise me

from the photo please do say

hello. I will probably be smiling

and saying hello to people

whether I recognise them or

not, as that is what vicars do

after all!

Ruth will be officially instituted as

Vicar of St George’s by the Bishop

Huntingdon on Monday 17

September at 7.30pm – all are

welcome, and there will be

refreshments afterwards.

Things are on the move at

You are warmly invited to join

Regular activities include Boys’

Brigade, Girls’ Brigade, Alpha

addition, ‘Introducing church

membership’, an informal

weekly session exploring the

basics of Christian belief, begins

second annual SkillsFest, made

possible with a Sustainable City

Project Grant. The all-day

festival of skills-sharing will take

place on Saturday 6 October,

from 12 noon to 4pm at St.

Andrew’s Hall. This free event

will feature workshops and skills

stations covering a wide range

of skills that anyone can learn

and will help people live more

sustainably, save money and

enjoy new capabilities. Some of

the skills featured in SkillsFest

include knitting, growing your

own food, willow weaving, and

basic clothing repair, and there

will be so much more. A crèche

Chesterton Parents’ Group

Calling all mums and dads!

Are you the parent of an under-five

child in Chesterton? Chesterton

Parents Group is a group of

neighbourhood parents who meet

once a month to plan and run

children’s activities. We would like

more parents to share ideas on

launching new events and classes.

Looking after young children can be

very isolating, so we try to offer free-

of-charge and low cost activities that

allow local parents and children to

get to know each other.

Our weekly music group,

Little Music Makers, brings

together more than 50

families a week. The class

encourages tots to learn new

songs and offers parents a

friendly and sociable get-

together.

We also run a free clothing

swap based on a point system

that allows donations to be

recouped at a later date. For

the last two winters the

forum ran Saturday soft play,

encouraging physical activity and

allowing parents a chance to play

with their kids in a fun social

environment.

Groups are very supportive and

informal, and during forum meetings

there is a crèche run in the same

room.

If you would like to find out more,

please call Chesterton Children’s

Centre which supports our group

on 729081.
