WELCOME CLUB
It is with regret we have to report the death of Mary Richardson. She was a strong supporter of our Club and was with us when we visited Slimbridge. She will be sadly missed and we send our sincere condolences to her family.



BARBARA D. POWERS
There will be many in Hook Norton who remember Barbara and her involvement in village life, for example with the Literary Group and our Library. As most will know, Barbara loved Hook Norton and felt very at home in our community.
When Barbara was bravely fighting cancer, earlier this year, she was determined to revisit friends in Hook Norton and she came here for a few days with Randy, before returning to upstate New York via Paris.
Barbara died peacefully and there has already been a service near her US home and a lunch to celebrate her life. Randy and daughter Jennifer, are flying over very soon, and there was a lunch at the Sun on Saturday 18th September when the 35 present celebrated her life.

BAPTIST CHURCH
By the time you read this our new facilities will be dedicated and open for use. We apologise for any disruption it may have caused. As a small fellowship it was a big task to undertake but we were convinced it was God's prompting for us to take this step of faith. He has honoured that in so many ways and we have made great strides with the fund raising.
As promised Martin Quartermain is doing another Old Hooky evening of slides on 16th October in the church. There will be an interval for refreshments and if you haven't already seen the new building do take time to look round.
We will also be hosting the Crucial Youth event jointly with St Peters on Sunday 31st October.
Our morning service continues to be 10.30 and we welcome you to this and any of the events mentioned.
Julie Warren



ST. PETER'S CHURCH
Given that this year's summer has been a bit of a damp squib weather-wise, we may as well start to enjoy the riches, fruits and colours of autumn at St Peter's. The summer months have not, however, passed without excitement and some sadness, for all of us who enjoy the many varied services and church events throughout the benefice.
September saw the retirement of Don Baker, St Peter's organist and choirmaster for the last 36 years. On September 12th, Don's dedication and commitment to St. Peter's was celebrated at a wonderful service and afternoon tea. The service included many of Don's favourite hymns and readings, centred on each season of the church year. The choir sang beautifully for us all, and Mike Terry delighted the congregation with his reading of excerpts from 'Don't Blame it on the Organist'. Don's expertise will be sadly missed, and we all wish him and his family well for any future ventures. Saturday 25th September was the date for Wendy Cunningham's ordination at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. This wonderful occasion was marked on Sunday 26th by a Benefice Celebration Eucharist at St Peter's, followed by lunch at the church. We have all been keeping Wendy and Don in our prayers, especially during these past few weeks. September 18th saw the second Men's Breakfast at the Pear Tree Inn, a very popular event for our menfolk, with speakers, a full breakfast and, rumour has it, a special breakfast ale. The latest Alpha course started during September, and the group will be meeting each Tuesday evening. If you are interested in finding out more about future Alpha courses, contact Janet Collins. Please don't think that Alpha is only for 'Bible-experts' or regular church-goers. Alpha is a unique opportunity for anyone to explore Christian Faith, ask questions, however trivial they may seem, and discuss all aspects of Christianity
Now, on to forthcoming diary dates. The regular Wheeler's and Squealer's get-together will start up again on Thursday 7th October, and subsequently on the first Thursday of every month. Fun, food and fellowship, in the presence of Jesus, for all preschool children and their carers. Contact Jenny Mead or John Acreman for more details. St. Peter's Harvest Festival is on Sunday 3rd October at 10 am, followed by a shared lunch at church.. After its resounding success last term, the after -school JAM (Jesus and Me) club is also continuing, on Wednesday afternoons (3.15-4.15 pm) at Hook Norton Primary School. All key-stage I and key-stage 2 children (except nursery) are welcome. More information from either Janet Collins or John Taylor. After the summer recess, the Sunday Gang is now meeting up again during the 10 am Sunday services at St. Peters. If you have a child interested in joining the Sunday Gang, please contact Jenny Mead. Over the summer period a number of volunteers have been helping to keep the younger members of the congregation 'busy' during these services, so thank you to all those who helped out.
The now infamous St. Peter's Craft Fair will be on Saturday November 6thand the Grand Draw this year is being run by Polly Rose and Judi Leader. Please let either of them know if you can sell some raffle tickets. And finally for this issue, the first of a series of proposed monthly "Songs of Worship" get-togethers is scheduled for 14th October at 7.30 pm. Not just for budding choristers, this is a chance for all of us to join for an hour and learn some of the new songs that will become part of Sunday Worship at St. Peter's. The second of these get-togethers is pencilled in for November 11th.
Please keep an eye on the noticeboards in church, and the pewslips, as all services, relevant dates and events are noted. With the regular Prayer groups, Bible groups and Fellowship groups, there is something on at St. Peter's just about every day. And do bear in mind that all the hard work, commitment and dedication of our very special Ministry team is supported throughout the year by others who help to organize the special occasions at St. Peters. All these people play an important role in maintaining the vibrant and joyful fellowship we are so fortunate to enjoy in Hook Norton. Many thanks to you all.

FRIENDS OF HOOK NORTON SCHOOL (FOHNS)
We're busy, busy at the FOHNS, ready to kit you out for Christmas and brighten up the darkening evenings.
For a start, if you are worried about Christmas presents, pick up at once a Webb Ivory catalogue from the school office. It offers a wealth of cards and gifts and, for every purchase, FOHNS receives a donation of up to 25 per cent of the sale. Orders please by mid-November.
Don't forget our very own, Hooky Christmas Puds, which won a prestigious Gold at the Great Taste Awards and come with the FOHNS and school logo on each pudding. They are made from vine fruits soaked in brandy and sherry, with fresh breadcrumbs and freshly grated carrots. A fiver for a 1lb pudding, (£9 for a two pounder) makes them a must – orders please to the school office.
The Grand Finale will be the Christmas Fair on Friday 3 December from 5 pm to 7.30pm with crafts for sale, the school choir and orchestra performing and a visit from Santa.
But before we all shift into “Miracle on 34th Street” mode, don't forget to make a date with Hook Norton's answer to Delia Smith: Hazel Hope will offer a memorable cookery demonstration at the Study Centre on Ladies' Night Friday November 19 at 7.30pm. Great Christmas presents will also be on sale.
Looking ahead to the New Year, an Auction of Promises is planned for March 2005. Pledges already include a week in a caravan in Dorset, a helicopter ride, free babysitting, a watercolour of your home and a traybake of cakes. Please make your promise, however large or small, at the school office.
In these colder months, let's also look ahead to warmer days – a date for your diary must be 17 June 2005, the Hook Norton Summer Ball.
And a reminder that if you want to buy your meat directly from a local, trusted source, then why not try out Coldronbrook Farm – every purchase brings a donation to FOHNS from the farmer, Mr Datsun.
Many thanks to local band The Tom Cats, starring Hooky resident and FOHNS parent, Dwyer Scullion, on guitar. Their mix of rock, rhythm and blues in September raised more than £500 for the school.
Finally, many thanks also to those who have supported FOHNS during my two years as chair. I'm stepping down this month, but I've had a great time. Thank you.

2ND HOOK NORTON BROWNIE NEWS
This year is Brownies 90th Birthday and we got the year off to a very good start by celebrating it at a massive event in Butlins at Bognor with the Chief Guide, hundreds of Guiders and around 3,000 Brownies in January. The Brownie Programme has been updated and we now concentrate on The World, Your Community and You, with a lot of the old traditions too. Most of the Brownies gained their World Badges, we did a Litter Pick for the community, and have raised money for Local and National Charities, and we have challenged ourselves to learn new skills. These have included Swimming, Canoeing, Archery, Acting, Knotting, Dancing and Craft Work. Alongside this, the girls have learnt about using the strengths of the individuals in group work. This skill is particularly useful on Pack Holiday. This year our theme was 'The Olympic Games' and after an open-air opening ceremony, the girls experienced food, craft and games from 4 European Countries.

Emma (aged 8) says: 'Every morning we had different duties, like cleaning the toilets, helping to cook breakfast, picking up rubbish and picking flowers. Duties were fun. Each day we played games and ate food from different countries, like pizza on Italian day, and Prawns in Chocolate on Spanish day! We did Activities like Archery. I enjoyed the Archery - I came third. When they were canoeing, Hannah lost her shoes when she jumped in! We also had an Olympics. In the afternoon, we had a quiet time and got tuck. I got 3 pieces because I was really quiet. At night we slept in bunk beds and got torch time for a while. We made our own beds every day. Pack Holiday was great! Thank you to all the people who took us.'
Nicola (aged 10) says: 'I really enjoyed this Pack Holiday and it was my last with Brownies as next time I will be a Guide. My favourite part was when we went canoeing. The day was lovely, but the water was cold and murky! While we played a game, some of the Pack and Guiders fell in, but I was lucky and stayed in the canoe. The food was lovely and it was good to try new things, but NOT the prawns with chocolate.'
Martha (aged 8) who also enjoyed the canoeing says: 'At the end we played a game of capsizing on purpose. It was fun. There was a rope hanging from a tree and you swung on it and fell in the water. I got really wet and loved it.'

All but 4 of the girls came away with the unit this summer, and it does seem to be the highlight for many of them, even though they have moments of nervousness and apprehension, but hopefully with the help of some funding from the Charitable Association, we will be able to take all the girls back to the HOAC Centre to canoe for the day without having to stay away. The Guiders have challenged themselves too, and amongst other things have just completed the Flora 5km Fun Run in London, which was a spectacular event with over 20,000 runners including some top class world runners (who had finished the run before we even got over the start line!). We are always on the look out for new leaders to join the team, and the girls enjoy tapping into any new skills on offer.

1ST HOOK NORTON GUIDES BLACKLAND FARM 23RD – 30TH AUGUST 2004
Click to open image in new window. Large file!




Brownies and Guides from everywhere
Leaders always lending a hand
Archery great
Climbing fab!
Kayacking totally the best
Loved the site
And the people too
Not a cloud in the sky
Definitely come back soon

Freedom at last
Around the wood
Remember the good time we had
Megan Wood enjoyed it all!


15 Guides from 1st Hook Norton and 5 from Chipping Norton Guides visited Blackland Farm in the summer and we all had a great time, so here are a few of our highlights of the trip:-The campsite offered many fantastic activities, we particularly enjoyed the zip wire, where many people overcame their fears of heights! There was a brilliant rock climbing wall, which was so high it gave you a sense of immense self-satisfaction when you reached the top! One night we played farmopoly, where everyone from the whole campsite searched for farm helpers around the campsite and were set initiative and physical challenges.

If you completed them, you got points – everyone enjoyed this evening. We did lots of cooking in our patrols on wood fires, which we built ourselves. There was a large campfire, where all the guides and scouts who were camping joined together and learned new songs, as well as us teaching them some of ours. The weather was very hot and so we played water games on our campsite. We had a plastic sheet on a hill, with water, which was fun. There is an old steam train that runs beside Blackland Farm and we were lucky enough to ride on this train. We walked from the campsite to Horsted Keynes station to catch the steam train to Sheffield Park. We all carried part of the lunch in our own bags and then when we arrived at our picnic area we made up trifles to have after our rolls. This was definitely our favourite part of the trip! After lunch, we got the train back to Kingscote station and then had a lovely walk home to the campsite. When we arrived at the campsite, the ice-cream van was waiting for us!!! With our thanks to everyone who made this trip possible, Blackland Farm campsite is very beautiful and we felt lucky to be there.

HOOK NORTON HISTORY GROUP
The return visit we made to elegant Charlbury on a fine July evening was packed, interesting and informative - we saw the stone commemorating Charlbury being granted Town status in the 13th Century – but the big surprise was the 'back-to-front' church. The sound and light from the altar being unsatisfactory, a movement to alter the siting of the altar was successfully negotiated. Might this be the beginning of a new trend? It felt odd.
A stylish buffet was generously provided by the Charlbury History Society to conclude our visit to Charlbury Town.
Our opening session on 7th September was auspicious. To educate, inform and entertain was Dr. Edwards' motto and he certainly attainted his objective. We were shown, much enlarged, 16th century miniatures, many of whose faces or names we knew; Henry VIII, Anne of Cleves, Thomas Cromwell and Leicester for example. They were painted by Holbein, Nicholas Hilliard and their contemporaries with such detail in them that none of us will look at a miniature casually again. One time Woodstock G.P., Doctor Edwards' passion for his subject was infectious.

FRIENDS OF HOOK NORTON COMMUNITY LIBRARY AGM
The Annual General Meeting of the Friends of the Hook Norton Community Library took place at the Brewery Visitor Centre on 6th Sept 2004. Chairman, John Wheatley was able to give an up-beat report to the well attended meeting. As a result of excellent co-operation between the Parish Council, various local bodies, the Oxfordshire County Library Service and the Friends of the Library, the plan to create a Reading Room within the refurbished Norman Matthews Community Hall Library had come to fruition. An essential feature of the plan had been the provision of partitioning between the Reading Room and the rest of the Hall. This had been financed by a substantial donation from the Friends of the Library, all of whom were thanked by the Chairman. There was more to do, but on past showing all was achievable.
Everybody would have noticed the successful refurbishment of the library itself and an upgrading of its IT facilities. This was due to the support of the County Library Service and the enthusiasm of various members of its staff. At local level, nobody could have wished for a better library manager than Pat Weighell. Everybody was very sorry that she had decided to leave the Library Service. The Friends had given her a rose tree as a token of the Community's thanks.
In May the Friends had arranged the now familiar Book + Plant Sale and this had been a great success – as had been the computer teach-ins tutored by Robert Grandison. Reading Sessions for both young people and people at the Day Care Centre had continued during the year.
 The formalities being ended, those present were entertained by a play reading by the Hooky Players, putting all in the right mood to enjoy the refreshments afterwards.


HOOK NORTON W.I.
Our summer outing took the form of lunch at the Red Lion at Little Compton. This has become a favourite venue for Hooky WI and a delicious lunch was enjoyed by all. Thank you to Sarah and David Smith for making our outing such a success.
The August meeting was a garden party at Malthouse Barn in Sibford Road. We were most fortunate to choose a day with sunshine between thunderstorms. Everyone was really interested to see such a new garden which was looking its best in the sun.
Our September meeting was a talk by Mrs Barbara Gray on 'the Four Weddings'. The competition will be a Wedding Corsage.
The October meeting will be 'Wildlife in the Country Garden' by Mrs Diana Wilson and at this meeting, the competition will be 'a garden bloom.'
Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month in the Baptist Hall at 2pm.
New members and guests are always welcome.

WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK - MID JULY TO MID SEPTEMBER
Grass Snakes have been seen a great deal over the last two months. Cherry King of Dove House saw one in her on 2nd August. In the middle of August Mike and Diana Parkhouse saw one swimming on the Wildlife Pond. David Shirt at White Hills Farm saw one on 14th and on 18th August which had taken up residence in burrows in the old compost heap. Christopher Barry had a glimpse of a snake curling its way into the undergrowth off a path in his garden in East End. His garden is completely encircled by stone walls but they are no barrier to a Grass Snake. This snake has two yellow or white patches almost encircling its neck, black bars almost always mark the flanks and there are black dots along the greenish or silvery grey back. The snake's skin is sloughed (shed) 3 - 12 times a year, but before it is shed it goes dull and dark and the snake's eyes look misty. Colouring is brightest just after sloughing. As with all snakes, each scale on the underside spans the body width. These scales have sharp rear edges and dig into the ground to give the snake a grip as it moves forward. Grass Snakes are very good swimmers and they are harmless to humans.
A Red Kite was seen by John Peck over Redlands Dairy at the beginning of August. In Cherry King's back garden, 3 Robins hatched, fledged and at the beginning of August one fledgling was still around. On 15th August, David Shirt saw a Hobby which flew over his garden heading south towards the village. Interestingly enough we saw a Hobby on 14th August. Two Cormorants were seen flying over East End on 10th August and one was seen on the Wildlife Pond. At the beginning of September a Kingfisher was seen on the Wildlife Pond. A Green Woodpecker has been seen a great deal flying over the fields in East End and also gardens. Kestrels and Sparrow hawks have been seen regularly as has a Buzzard on 17th and 28th August. On 22nd July, 9th and 26th August a Heron was seen. Also, small flocks of Long-tailed Tits were seen flying along hedges at the rear of gardens in East End. A Willow Warbler was also seen in East End on 1st September. A flock of about 24 Canada Geese was seen on 14th August. As always Swifts, Swallows and House Martins have been great to watch, sometimes flying low over gardens. The last Swifts were seen on 1st September, but Swallows and House Martins are still around. I would like to record the last sighting of these birds so would be pleased to hear from anyone about this. The Wood Pigeons that Caroline Vaughan had in her garden were looked after by Mrs Bennett for about two and a half weeks then successfully released. A quick mention about the need to keep bird feeders clean. Food that gets damp quickly clogs the feeders or goes mouldy. Peanuts in feeders can quickly turn green and form a hard clump in the wire mesh, when this occurs, throw away the food and soak the feeders in hot soapy water. Scrape any congealed food from bird tables and give it a good scrub with hot soapy water. Do not forget to scrub clean the birdbath regularly.
Lots of Grasshoppers were seen around East End gardens. A Bush Cricket was spotted in East End on 16th August. Dragonflies have been flying around in gardens. Bats have been seen on 2nd August and 1st September and a Fox on 22nd July. Christopher Barry has a Badger which regularly finds its way into his garden and it eats fruit and vegetables. Gillian Liddell saw a Clouded Yellow Butterfly in her garden on 14th August. Other butterflies seen around are Common Blue, Red Admiral, Comma, Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell. We found a Swallowtailed Moth in our garden. I am always pleased to hear from anyone with sightings. Thank you very much to those of you who have contacted me over the last two months.

CANCER RESEARCH UK'S WALK FOR LIFE.
I would like to thank all the people for sponsoring me when I went on the Cancer Research UK's Walk For Life.
The amount I raised was £581.00. Thank you all very much. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again – Thank you!

FIREWORKS
We have had a few evenings of unexpected firework displays. We do not wish to spoil anyone's fun but what about the poor stressed animals? It is bad enough when bonfire night is from October to December, but at least on Bonfire night, we can treat our pets with medication.
All we ask is perhaps a notice put up in a public place for us all to see to make arrangements for the pets.
If you could see the completely stressed out pets, you probably wouldn't have fireworks – it is heartbreaking. Have fun, but also consider others.
