SOUTH MARSTON’S COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER

South Marston Summer Fete 2013 WOW! What a great contrast this year’s Fete was to last year’s! The fine weather

brought hundreds along to the village’s recrea�on field on Saturday 13th

of July to soak

up the sun and enjoy a tradi�onal summer fete. There were a host of stalls run by local

organisa�ons, businesses and residents, offering everything from cakes to pot plants.

Children enjoyed ac�vi�es including the coconut shy and a bouncy castle. There was

also live music from local bands including the Highworth Silver Band, and our very own

team of Morris Dancers!

The Fete is solely organised as a way to raise funds to maintain the recrea�onal field

and all monies raised are given to the SMRA, this year we raised a staggering

£1154.00. It also is a means for our local organisa�ons such as the Gardening Club,

Friendly Club, SMRA, Youth Club, School and Church to raise funds for their clubs so

between them all the overall total made from the day was an amazing £2158.00. So a

big thank you to everyone who came out and supported your local community!

We would like also to thank our sponsors who kindly donate their money and services

in order for us to be able to organise the Fete, they are;

● Yuassa Ba�eries ● Mitchy Motors ● Young European ● The Works ●

● Swindon Town Football Club ● Hills ● Incep"on ● Conway and Laker ●

Huge thanks to you all who volunteered your help before the day, pu:ng up the

marquees, helping on the day and then with the clearing up a<erwards, whether big or

small your help was invaluable so thank you for making the fete a great success and

enjoyed by so many.

Dear Friends,

Harvest 2013

I remember my grandmother always used to say 'if you don't know what to pray just

say thank you.' Giving thanks recognises that our achievements are not fully our own,

that there may be many others that play a part in everything we have, and how easy it

is to forget the part of others in our lives? It's so easy to feel sa�sfied with life when

we look at all the things we have around us. Thanksgiving as a spiritual prac�ce

reminds us that all our gi<s are communal as well individual. Our crea�vity and

freedom, our ability to choose the good have their origins in forces larger than

ourselves; God, this earth, and people who have guided, protected, inspired, and

nurtured us.

It's very difficult these days to give thanks for something we take for granted - the

food on our plates. Yet at this �me of Harvest it’s tradi�onal to do this. But we have

abundance, food in our cupboards and freezers, the 'just in case' and the 'treats'. The

ability to have the food we want when we want it regardless of how far it has to travel

and how many livelihoods have been affected producing it and ge:ng to our

supermarkets shelves. So this may be a wonderful �me of year to reflect on our good

fortunes, if giving thanks is about communal gi<s as well as individual ones, could we

buy less air freighted food to save our world from more pollu�on? Could we buy a fair

traded product instead of a big brand to support the livelihood of those who may be

producing food at a personal cost to themselves? Could you give thanks for the

wonderful foods we have before us? All this makes us more aware of all the good

things around us

There was a lady in my previous church; she died last year aged 90. She said every �me

she walked down the road she gave thanks for all she saw and everything she had in

her life. She had heart disease and arthri�s, yet she said she never ran out of things to

be thankful for. Her simple prac�ce of giving thanks shaped how she lived her life,

faced ageing, and related to others.

Thank you can be said over and over again

not just to God for the gi<s of this day,

but to everyone whose life affects yours.

Such gra�tude opens us to new blessings,

but more importantly opens our hands to

bless others, through a kind word as well

as our �me and gi<s.

South Marston Enterprise (SME) Group

The SME group is for people in the village who own or run businesses, or have a general

interest in business. We have a topic for each meeting followed by a social chat over wine

and nibbles.

We had a great time at our first meeting

after the summer break. The topic was

'Gadgets and IT and how we use them’.

We talked about our favourite Apps,

gadgets, Ipads, Iphones, laptops and

TVs. We discussed how technology inno-

vations sometimes seemed to merge only

to split again.

It was interesting to see how society

(well, our South Marston bubble of socie-

ty!) is changing in the way we access

data, information, entertainment or do our work.

This was followed by a general discussion about topics for future meetings and sharing

useful information.

The next meeting is on Thursday, 3rd October

If you would like to join the SME Group please contact

Hazel Andrews on 01793 827507 or by e-mail at

[email protected]

Send your contribu�ons for our next issue to

fields, hedgerows and wood contained.

Exhibition at Lydiard Park until November

Prisoner of War Hospital Camp at Lydiard Park

It may be popular for picnics and walks, but Lydiard Park had an en�rely different use

more than 60 years ago. The Swindon Borough Council-owned stately home and park

was requisi�oned by the military during the Second World War and in the late 1940s it

housed a German Prisoner of War

hospital camp.

A new display, which opened in July

at Lydiard House, tells the stories of

the staff, doctors, guards and

prisoners in 160 Camp, through

photographs, maps, diaries – even

pain�ngs by one of the inmates.

Alongside the display, there is a fun

quiz trail for children to decode

secret messages. The picture shows

the doctors at the Prisoner of War Hospital Camp that treated up to 200 German

prisoners of war at any �me.

Buy with Confidence Trading Standards Approved

In response to concerns about 'rogue traders' which are o<en highlighted in

the media, a partnership of Local Authority Trading Standards Services have

taken a ground-breaking step by pu:ng together the Buy With Confidence Scheme. Swindon

Borough Council have recently joined the scheme which provides consumers with a list of local

businesses which have given their commitment to trading fairly. Every business listed has

undergone a series of detailed checks before being approved as a member of the scheme.

In order to become a Buy with Confidence member, a business must first apply or be

recommended to join the scheme and must then pass a set of tailored background checks.

Membership of the scheme is not given lightly - amongst other checks, each applicant will have

their complaints history reviewed and will receive a visit from Trading Standards. Good

references are required from previous customers and applicants must agree to abide by the

scheme’s code of conduct, which requires them to follow the leIer and spirit of the law. Only if

all the scheme requirements are met will a business be granted membership and their conduct

will con�nue to be monitored therea<er. ‘Buy with Confidence’ cannot promise that members’

work will be perfect every �me, but you can expect any problems to be dealt with fairly by the

business and you can turn to Trading Standards for advice in the event of an unresolved issue.

If you are a business who would like to join the scheme

or a consumer who is looking for a ve�ed and approved member

visit www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk


South Marston School News

Our village school recently has begun a new year - here is some info on the changes

CLASS 1

Class 1 have a new teacher this year –

Miss Miller. She says she loves the staff

she is working with, the children she is

teaching and the new space Class 1

have. What used to be the ICT suite and

pre-school is now Class 1’s area. Pre-

school have Class 1’s old area.

CLASS 2

Class 2 have a new teacher as well - Miss

Jarvis. She said she loves the woodland

walks and her enthusias�c and friendly

class. Class 2 also has a new outside

area. This has changed Class 2 forever!

CLASS 3

Class 3’s new teacher, called Mr

Saunders, loves the friendly and

welcoming class he works in, how well

everyone has seIled in and how keen

everyone is to learn. Mr Saunders runs

Tiger Kung Fu. This club filled up very

quickly, so many people didn’t get in.

Mr Saunders says he is extremely

pleased with this achievement.

CLASS 4

Class 4’s teachers, Mrs Hendry and Mrs

Doughty, have not changed classes, but

their topic has! It’s ‘Chocolate’, the

perfect topic for any pupil! Class 4’s

topic involves tas�ng, tes�ng,

researching and wri�ng. Class 4 are very

excited about the new laptops the

school purchased over summer,

meaning we have one per pupil in

lessons, which is brilliant.

Quote from Mr Maddison….

I am looking forward to leading South Marston School into a new school year.

School has been really busy over the holidays; we now have a newly refurbished founda�on

stage and a complete upgrade of our computer equipment. I know both children and staff

will benefit hugely from this.

We welcome Miss Miller, who is our head of our Founda�on stage, as well as teaching in

Class 1 and also Mr Saunders who is teaching years 3/4. I know we have an exci�ng year

ahead of us and I look forward to ge:ng to know our new Recep�on and pre-school

children who have just joined us.
