SOUTH MARSTON’S COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER
What HGVs?
There are HGV’s regularly ignoring weight limit signs and driving through South Marston. However, since Christmas the details of only one HGV has been received by PC Marc Jackson, our local Police Officer.
Please take a note of the number plate and company name of any HGV you see and email PC Jackson directly on
When PC Jackson receives sufficient vehicle information he con-tacts the Haulage Company responsible. Please don’t assume that other people are reporting the problem. The Police cannot act unless they know who is responsible.

Dear Friends Have you ever seen a child’s frustration and disappointment when the toy he ‘s been playing with won’t work properly or even stops altogether. The light in his face goes out as the batteries run down and there is no power. And what about you, have you gone to your mobile ‘phone and found it dead because you forgot to plug it in? We can do that in our lives too—not notice that the batteries are running down and need recharging. There is so much more stress in our busy lives than there used to be. We see breakdown and ill health amongst our friends and colleagues. Taking time to connect with our inner selves and with God is to recharge our batteries. Taking our prayers to God for help is to ask God for more power to continue when the going gets tough. To pray for others is to ask God to give them a fresh resource of strength and comfort. On Ascension Day, 9th May, we cele-brate Jesus’ ascension into heaven where he intercedes for us and at Pen-tecost, 19th May we celebrate God’s outpouring of his power into our lives through giving us His Spirit. This is a battery that lasts for eternity but we need to connect and stay connected. On Ascension day we are launching ’Oasis’ which will be a programme of opportunities, differing in style and content for people to get connected to this eternal source of power. Ascension will be a whole day of prayer split into short times of different prayer activities—including just silence. You will find the programme for May in the magazine. Will you take the opportunity to recharge your batteries or pray for oth-ers? God Bless, Vicky Fleming Priest in Charge

School News
This June, South Marston C of E
Primary school turns 140 years old.
We are holding a week of celebra-
tions beginning on
Monday 17th June
with children dressing up to repre-
sent the different decades, and cu-
mulating with a school picnic on the
Friday. The children will be produc-
ing an archive of memories which
will be on permanent display in
school. We are also planning on
holding a special 140 years church
service.
We would love to hear about any memories of the school, from
people in the community, and also any photographs that could be
lent to us.
If you would be happy to talk to some children about your memo-
ries, we would be delighted to see you in school during this week.
Please could you give us a ring on 01793 823379 or pop in to
school to make yourself known.
It would be great if we could find 8 people to represent the decades
going all the way back to the 1930s. Perhaps your parents passed
on their memories to you?
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Headteacher, South Marston C of E Primary School

South Marston Assisting Wildlife
SMAWL is a group of South Marston volunteers who care about wildlife. The SMAWL team is composed entirely of volunteers and is currently looking for more help.
Anyone with a spare hour or two throughout the year will be most wel-come. It’s sociable and helps to improve the look of the village. We wel-come any age and ability (although children must be accompanied by an adult). For further information, please call Chris on 829868 or Susan on 824957, or email Chris at [email protected]. You can also read more about the group on the village website, www.southmarston.org.uk.
It’s surprising how many mammals live in our area, although some local mammals are very hard to see. So here’s a word search where you can find 18 mammals that live in north Wiltshire. Words can be found forwards, backwards, up, down and diagonally. The solution is further on in this issue. North Wiltshire mammals word search.

South Marston Parish Council
Meet Barry Thunder – Councillor ,
South Marston Parish Council
When working on the initial clearance of the
conservation site, some three years ago, I was
working alongside two parish councillors who
told me about the work of the Parish Council
(PC). To be honest I had no idea what the PC
did!
But having lived in South Marston for 25 years, I
decided it was time to become more involved in
village matters, so I duly sent in my election pa-
pers and waited for more details, I fully ex-
pected to have to tell more people than my im-
mediate neighbours to vote for me! But nine peo-
ple applied for nine vacancies, so suddenly I was
a parish councillor.
After my first meeting, I found myself as the liaison for the allotments and
part of the finance working group. After 3 years this has extended to in-
clude planning applications and the village development working group.
As membership of these groups is purely voluntary, maybe I should take
more care in what I agree to become involved in.
But having said that, I have found that I enjoy the tasks (well, most of
them!!) and that learning new skills has given me a range of interests that
has become most enjoyable.
And yes, I am still working with the conservation group, who are looking
to gain more volunteers. Why not come along to a Parish Council meet-
ing and see what we do?

South Marston Enterprise (SME) Group
We are a business group that holds regular monthly meetings on the first
Thursday of the month. It is for people who live in the village and either
run or have an interest in running small businesses.
At the April meeting we had a
demonstration of Equine Reiki.
Jane, our guest, talked about her
experience in working with horses at
a sanctuary and how they benefited
from their sessions with her. She
explained what was involved and
then demonstrated it on 3 lucky
horses!
The evening was rounded off over
wine and snacks and a more social
chat over the types of training that
Jane offered for horse owners as
part of her business. We also discussed future topics we would like cov-
ered in the SME meetings.
The next meeting will be all about swapping useful contact details or nug-
gets of business sense that have really helped us in our business. If you
would like to join us please contact Hazel Andrews at
[email protected] or Tel: 01793 827507.

Oasis
Offering a place and time for refreshment, healing, rest
and stillness
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and
drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within
them.” John 7:37– 38
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear
as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of
fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations
Revelation 22:1-2
Prayer and God’s Word is at the heart of ministry in our Team.
Oasis will be offering different opportunities for prayer at different times and on different days. Some events will be in our
home churches, some away. There will be prayer walks, creative prayer times, silent times, Lexio devina, intercession
and a variety leaders and speakers.
