IwadeVi11ageClean UpDate for proposed Village CleanUp is Saturday 19th May 2007Proposed Time is 10am to 2.00pm- Meeting at the corner ofWoodpecker Drive by the VillageHall at 10.00am.Possibility of tea coffee/squashbeing served in Ickle Pickles at 12midday for all helpers.

This is the second year the VillageClean up day has taken place andthe plan is to focus on the areasthat residents have concernsabout around the village. Thismeans volunteers will be split towork in the areas that they have apersonal interest and hopefullyconverging in the centre of thevillage at the end of the clear upday.

The Parish Council are aware thata great deal of the jobs being doneshould be done by Swale Councilbut the little bit residents can doto help can only be better for thevillage. The benefits out way thedisadvantages in the ParishCouncils opinion.

Parish Clerk has alreadycontacted some of the groups inthe village to see if they arewilling to help such as the IwadeHerons and Beavers/ Cubs.

Main tasks in all areas we areaiming to cover:

1. Picking up of all litter, rubbishetc2. Sweeping of all pathways3. Tidying of all grass edgings thatborder pathways, roadside etc4. Cleaning of Path Signs, RoadSigns etc5. Identifying any areas that needattention by a specialist e.g. Largepot holes in road, broken fencingetc.

As well as the above there areareas for each team that needparticular attention which arenoted under each team brief.

Team 1: East TeamStarting from roundabout offA249 working along GrovehurstRoad to join up with Team 2(South Team) atGarage and then both teams workdown the Street until reachVillage Park. Entry gates needattention.

Team 2: South TeamStart at entry gates to village byHealth Centre and work towardsVillage Centre joining up withTeam 1 atGarage and then carry onworking down to finish at VillageCentre. Entry gates needattention.

Team 3: West TeamStart at top of School Laneincluding Playing Field and workdown School Lane to meet atVillage Park.

Team 4: North TeamStart at entry gates to village onFerry Road and work inwardstowards Village Centre meetingother teams atVillage Park. Entry gates need alot of attention.

If some groups complete theirareas very quickly they can joinforces with other teams or look atother areas off of the main roadsthat are not being covered on theclean up day.

Obviously the number of groupsis dependent upon the number ofpeople that appear. Iwade hasagain been put into the Village ofthe Year Competition so thevillage needs as many volunteersas possible to help.

Iwade WI met on February 21stin the village hall.

Once we had done the businesspart of the meeting, decidedwhich members would beaccepting Bobbing and UpchurchWI's birthday invitations anddiscussed all the other WIactivities planned for the comingmonths, we were joined byUrsula Atkins who gave her talk"Fraulein Tomm-Tomm,Childhood Memories of anEvacuee in Germany andAustria".

The subject sounded as if it mightbe a serious and dour experience.

It was anything but. Ursulaspoke for a full hour, without anyreference to notes, and took us ona journey to her childhood inGermany through the war years.You could have listened toUrsula all evening without beingbored.

She told us how her father hadgone off to the war, leaving theirmother to cope with trying tobring up her and her youngerbrother with all the deprivationsand difficulties of war.

Eventually, the town decided toevacuate its children tosomewhere safer and a youngUrsula found herself on a trainwith no idea of where she wasgoing. Strangely, her mother haddecided to keep Ursula's brotherat home, because, she supposed,he was so young. All alone in theworld, she found herself placedin a children's home.

It was interesting to hear how somany of the experiences of livingthrough the war in Germany

mirrored the social difficulties inthe UK.

Ursula has published a bookabout her wartime experiences,aptly titled "Fraulein Tomm-Tomm, and kindly signed copiesfor anyone who wished to buy acopy.

We held a competition at thismeeting, Something from Austriaor Germany which was won byLily Lammas. Joy White won theFlower of the Month competitionfor a beautiful pink Camellia.

Our next meeting is onWednesday 21 March at 7.30 inthe village hall. We have localhistorian Helen Atkinson comingto speak on "Sittingbourne, aCoaching Town". Thecompetition is for a photographof Sittingbourne, new or old.

At our meeting on 18 April, againin the village hall, we are joinedby writer and journalist MartinGurdon. He will be speakingabout his Travels with his

Chicken and will be bringing oneof his "flock" with him! If you arethinking about joining the WIthis would be a good meeting toattend for a taster. If you wouldlike more information pleasecontact Secretary Hilary Fouldson 01795 474686.

This month sees the IwadeHerons FC 4th birthday. I bet thegroup of parents that started upthe team for local children in thevillage would have neverimagined it would be as big as itis today. In March 2003 one teamwas formed for under 8's andentered in to the MaidstoneInvicta league. By the middle ofthe summer an under 10's wasborn and entered into theFaversham league. Four yearsdown the line we now have 7teams ranging from under 8's tounder 13's all competing in 3

different leagues and an under7's training squad.

We have a great team ofvolunteers who help run theclub, train the children andmanage the teams all giving uptheir time to do this.

We have had greatsupport from theParish council andmany sponsorsand we continueto do so.

The club wouldlike to thank allthese people frothe support theycontinue to give us.

All SaintsChurch

One of the privileges of being aminister is to conduct the funeralservice for so many who arevillage folk. To be able to comealongside those suffering thesearing pain of bereavementpresents us with an opportunityto minister far more deeply thanusual. It is for this reason that weare increasingly concerned with

the new thinking of some forhumanist or 'do it yourself'funerals! It is true that it is not alegal requirement to have anordained minister to take theservice, but as one whoexperienced such a service beforeI entered into church leadership,it was most notable how thebereaved seemed to sufferincreased agitation with thefeeling that no one in particularwas there to whom they couldturn. And especially after the

day of the funeral and after thenecessary legal business is allsettled, so often people findthemselves most in need at suchtimes. We are always careful notto intrude but we are only toowilling to be alongside for aslong as is needed.

It will be a sorry time for theChurch if all that Jesus taughtabout the importance of sharingone another's burdens and ofmourning with those who mourn

in put to one side. We are herefor you all and more importantly,our Lord too stands so closewaiting to be allowed in to ourlives. At this time of Lent, as weconcentrate again on the eventsof Easter, let us look to theglorious conclusion of EasterSunday certainly, but not forgetthat we all have to pass throughGood Friday to get there.

God Bless you all. ReverendJacky Davis.
