A message from Revd Colin Randall who will belicensed as our new Priest in Charge at a servicein the benefice at 7.30pm on Thursday 20thNovember in Withington Church.
I am very pleased to have this opportunity to introducemyself to you. I have enjoyed meeting people from theparishes and looking around and amy very much lookingforward to coming and ministering among you.
I am married to Judith and we have three sons, Jonathan,Robbie and Steven. Jonathan lives and works as a videographer in Lancaster, Robbie is in London and isgetting married in October and in the autumn he will start work as a Primary Schoolteacher. Steven will have just started his final year at Aberystwyth University wherehe is studying European languages.
Judith lived most of her early life in Cumbria and her parents and two brothers livethere. She enjoyed her teacher training in Gloucester and has taught FoodTechnology, but she has also had other jobs including working as pre-School assistant,running her own cake business, working in the Chester Cheese shop and for Sendthe Light book distributors as a Graphic Designer. My family roots are inGloucestershire and my father and one brother live there. I trained as a teacher inCheltenham, and taught Maths for a couple of years in Gloucester and Croydon.However from my teenage years I had also had a strong sense of calling to ordinationand following training at Trinity College, Bristol have served in Carlisle, Oxford andChester Dioceses looking after a wide variety of different sized villages with anequally wide variety of styles of worship. I enjoy both traditional and contemporaryworship.
Judith and I both enjoy listening to music and are both fans of Gloucestershire folksinger, Johnny Coppin. Judith enjoys going to the theatre and art galleries, walking,badminton, cycling, gardening, photography, singing and playing the guitar. I enjoyreading both Christian and general and have enjoyed being part of a village bookgroup. I also enjoy TV and Film science fiction and fantasy (Dr Who, Star Wars, StarTrek, etc.). I am a big user of Apple technology and enjoy seeing its potential forministry. I also enjoy table tennis when I get the chance. My musical tastes are broadand include Genesis, Mark Knopfler, U2 and Thea Gilmore. We both enjoy pubquizzes and are also fans of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
We hope that tells you a bit about us, and we look forward to getting to know you.
Colin

RIDE + STRIDE on SEPTEMBER 13thA DAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR OUR CHURCHESThis event, run by the Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust, is a great way to support our ColnRiver Group churches and churches across the county when they most need help. So if you fancyjoining our team of cyclists on a short tour of some of the county’s beautiful churches, or taking partin any other sponsored activity to help your church, put Saturday 13 September in your diary now.You will be joining thousands of people countrywide raising money for an important cause. 2013was one of the best years so far for Ride and Stride in Gloucestershire, with 121 churches takingpart and raising around £47,500. The Coln River team of 18 cyclists, from age 16 to quite old,raised around £2,600 and secured the trophy for best group performance. The Dowdeswellparticipants raised almost £1,800 of this, getting the award for best church performance andnarrowly beating the church at Dymock where our former curate Tony Lomas is the vicar.Apart from the enjoyment of exploring a part of our beautiful Cotswolds and seeing inside somehistoric gems, many of which provide refreshments and a friendly welcome, there is the motivationthat 50% of the money raised (before Gift Aid) goes to the church of your choice. The other halfwill enable the Trust to continue to support churches of all denominations around the county.This year we plan to make a circular tour of about 13 miles to visit 10 churches, including those inFairford and Eastleach which are included in a book of England’s best churches. We will meet inFairford, where there is a free car park for those wishing to transport their bikes, although moreambitious cyclists may want to cycle there.If you would like to join us, or would like more details, please contact Bryan Taylor on 01242 820436.

Village News Village NewsWithington School have done it again!Anyone who went to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in July will agree thatour small village school have, yet again, put on another brilliant end of yearperformanceOpening with an expressive narration from Penda, who then became a very charmingGrandpa Joe, the production moved swiftly through the story of Willie Wonka andhis Chocolate Factory. William took on the role of Willie Wonka with his usualprofessionalism and was easily in charge when he showed the children round hisfactory. Elliot looked perfect as Charlie Bucket and both William and Elliot sang theirsolos with confidence. Augustus, Violet, Veruca, Mike and their respective parentswere well cast and really enjoyed their roles. The comic timing was brilliant andKyle’s exit from the stage was not to be missed!The small children, lead by Darcy, Maria and Maisie were perfect Oompa-Loompas,remembering some complex words and songs, the audience really looked forward totheir appearance each time a child ‘disappeared’.The singing and musical accompaniment was, as always, a real pleasure to listen to,and the children carried off their solos perfectly. If we are looking for stars for thefuture, Livvy’s short solo verse was very confident and beautifully sung.The set and props were well thought out and very impressive, with plenty of specialeffects including flashing lights and projection. There were some difficult scenechanges, which were carried out really efficiently and really added to the audience’senjoyment. There was quite a team backstage and their role is as important as thoseon stage – so well done!The delicious refreshments in the interval certainly added to the whole evening’senjoyment – thank you Withington School we all look forward to the next show!Lindsey

Village News Village NewsAndoversford & District HorticulturalSocietyAt our June meeting held on the 18th in theVillage Hall, Mr W Scott from Worcestergave a most interesting talk on “The WalledGarden”.He suggested that Spring and Summer wouldbe a good time to visit walled gardens aswalls give protection against winds and coldweather and therefore create a micro climate.They are especially beneficial for growing fruitand vegetables. Currants and gooseberriesgrow and fruit very well on north facing walls.West Dean Gardens in Sussex and HanburyHall in Worcestershire, both of which havewalled gardens, are well worth a visit.The July meeting to be held on the 16th is atalk on “Container Gardening” .The August meeting to be held on 20thstarting at 7.30pm in the Village Hall, is on“Gardening with a Difference” by MrsHeather Peacey.New members are always welcome.

This is a good moment to bring you up-to-date with the work to the roof ofWhittington Village Hall. Faced with agrowning avalanche of slipping and slidingtiles we felt unable to start work in case itproved beyond our resources. Fortunatelythe Gloucestershire Environmental Trustcame up with major grant assistance whichwas backed up by Cotswold DistrictCouncil’s Community Project Fund. With thesupport of these two, we were able to getGary Dowdeswell to do the re-roofing.Happily no horror stories were found and itis coming in on budget and on time.

SHIPTON WEEKEND9th and 10th. AUGUST
Saturday 10.30am-5pm Sunday: 10am-4pm.Technically the event takes place in Shipton Oliffe’s Reading Room but all the road maps show it asShipton. For those members not familiar with Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire there are a number of
Shiptons so be warned. It is in fact just about 6 miles east of Cheltenham just off the A40 and close toAndoversford where you will find the local hostelry if you get fed up with enjoying the delights of Bassett-
Lowke trains.Shipton has earned the reputation of being a very friendly gathering with everybody having the
opportunity to run trains they bring along and being very easy on the pocket. There is no admission fee,all we ask for is donation to a charity, and last year’s being R.N.L.I.
Refreshments will be provided at very reasonable prices.Remember there are very few official Bassett- Lowke meetings this year so why not give Shipton a try
and enjoy the great fellowship.Andrew Hurley 01452 856726
Our small school does such a wonderful variety of sports.
There has been a buzz of activities for us this month, kicked off by the Kwik crickettournament and closely followed by our whole school sports day which was a resoundingsuccess. “At Sports Day we did a relay, obstacle course, water race and Javelin throws. I liked it” wrote Maisie Year 2“Sports day was so much fun. We were all in different teams like Oak and Ash and Sycamore. We didcompetitions like the water collection and javelin throwing and the obstacles course. We did lots ofraces like running races and sack races and skipping races and the egg and spoon race. At the endAsh won the trophy.” By Olivia Year 4
Our Infants dance team gave a show stopping performance at the Country Dance Festival andanother beautiful performance at the Withington Village Fete.
Class 3 ventured off to Blackwell, Birmingham for their annual residential. William and Elliot,Year 6, wrote: “On Wednesday 18th June all of the juniors went to a camp site for 3 days and 2 nights. We did lots of fun activities such as
• Climbing wall• Zip wire• Archery• Swimming• Water fight• Tree track• Obstacle course• Post man game• Rounders
We all had a really fun time and everyone enjoyed it and Withington have already booked to go nextyear.”
Class 1 enjoyed a brilliant day at Toplink. Toby Parker wrote “We played football. I love football.”Class 3 headed to a Rounders Tournament at Temple Guiding “When I went to the rounder’stournament, I nearly got a whole rounder. I got half a rounder.” By Kaydee Year 4
Finally to end this academic year, Class 1 will be climbing at Gloucester Warehouse this week.

WW1 book by a local author“Letters from the Front The Retreat from Mons”Last year I found a bundle of letters in my atticfrom my Grandfather to his new wife. They record in pencil and quill pen the Retreatfrom Mons to Ypres in 1914. He was William Llewellen Palmer from Lackham, inWiltshire, a noted Old Harrovian and 10th Hussarwho was on active service throughout the firstwar. You can see the work of the censor onstrategic facts alongside touching poetry
“I am in a dangerous place and may be killed at anymoment. God knows, my love for you knows no equal.”
It includes his photographs and letters from histime as Liaison officer to Allied HQ at Ypres. Hegossips idly about the characters present atMessines: Generals French and Smith-Dorrien whowere both sacked after the battle, Chetwode, Haigand Howard-Vyse who were on the rise.He is moved to tears when his closest friend thenotable Cambridge and Harrow cricketer MajorEustace Crawley of the 12th Lancers was killed infront of him. One commentator wrote “Moreheartbreak than history”It is available on Amazon for £9.99 and in theGarage at Andoversford. Charlie Llewellen Palmer
