# This will be a special 10 churches service when we give thanks for all who contribute to the life of our churches. There will also be the opportunity to reflect on the financial and practical support that each person can give to their church. We rely heavily on the planned giving of our regular congregation and others to ensure that we are able to meet both our day to day running costs and the minor repairs to the church building. If you are unable to attend and would like to know more about how you can make a financial contribution to St Mary’s, Great Canfield please contact Tony Hughes, Church Treasurer, details are on the back page. Please note a number of services take place across the group of 10 churches every week at both 9.30am and 11.00am with a 6.30pm evening service on the 4th Sunday of the month. You are welcome to attend any of the services that suit. All details of service times are displayed on the church notice boards and on the church website, www,thesixparishes.org.uk/
ST MARY THE VIRGIN GREAT CANFIELD Interregnum update Still no light at the end of the tunnel. Seems like our new priest is playing hard to get. Never mind, we all know the Lord moves in mysterious ways. Church Fabric and Churchyard
We have a list of things that we wish to achieve to improve the condition and functionality of our church, from repairs to the drainage to installation of toilets etc. but whilst we remain in Interregnum there are other distractions. There will be permissions to obtain, planning to pursue and, of course funds to raise. Services If I can master the technology, I plan to put our services information on the Village Facebook account. I am sure that most of you are thinking “what’s the problem?” but in my case it’s a bit like asking a dinosaur to recite poetry. One of the reasons I am so keen to retain two services per month is so we have the flexibility to introduce a more varied style of service. Hopefully the new Priest will be up for it, too. The wedding between Archie de Sales and Poppy Almond on 10 th August was the most joyous occasion. I have never heard so much full-on singing in St. Mary’s. Events The Deanery Walk around Jonathan Clarke’s farm in June was a well-attended in good weather. We learnt a lot about all things farming from black grass to red cattle. Thanks to Jonathan for a really good event. The recital on 30th June didn’t disappoint. Isabella Valentini and accompanist Stephen King travelled up from London and delivered a stunning performance of classical musicHi and raised £378 for church funds. The recital on 5th August proved to be all it was hoped to be and some. Two Ukranian accordion players drove down from Scotland to play classical music from around the world. Brilliant! This is not a novelty act. We hope to have them back sometime next year and I urge you not to miss it if we do. Proceeds went to UK-Aid which supports underprivileged children, particularly children and families still suffering from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Diary Dates October 19th Wedding Daniel Jones/Maxine Ewenson October 20th Harvest Festival Service 11.00am What can you do for God? OK. So time to turn the last quarters heading on its head. This is the tough bit. We live in a frantic and uncertain society, Difficult enough to get through the day and retain our sanity as it is, without any extra add-ons. I am retired, so it’s easy for me to talk. Don’t you believe it! When I was working, I seemed to have a set pattern to life, or at least be in reasonable control of that pattern. Now that pattern is more like a turning kaleidoscope. Recognise it? The last thing you want is someone asking you to give up some your precious time for something else. So what is God asking you to do for him? Simples. Believe in him. Trust in him. That’ll do for a start. Then there’s the Ten Commandments. God is “Our father”, and like any father, he has rules. He is just asking us all to obey his rules. Live our life according to those rules and we won’t go far wrong. Of course, we will from time to time fail. God will forgive. We have come full circle. This is what God will do for us. Forgive us our failures. Guaranteed (so long as we are properly sorry). Chat to him, it doesn’t have to be formal or even out loud. I do most nights. It’s a feel-good time. So why come to church? (that had to come eventually). Next time. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” [Philippians 4:6]

VILLAGE HALL UPDATE Village Weekend Event Thanks to everyone who came along to the village weekend event. We had a great evening that was well attended on the Saturday. We enjoyed a great social night with well-cooked tasty pizzas and refreshing cold drinks. It was great to see many new faces attending this event. Thanks to everyone who helped with this night and to Keith who set up the bar (and was also left to clear away the bar on his own on Sunday). Sunday morning saw the set up of a very successful pop up café and those who attended were able to enjoy a great selection of fantastic cakes, tea and coffee. Thanks to everyone who contributed cakes and their time in helping to make the café a huge success. Those who enjoyed the cakes at the café were then able to walk off these extra calories with some very interesting historic walks that were put together by Simon Mainwaring accompanied by a great map and interactive guide. This guide and map will be made available for download from the village hall website. These walks included a visit to the Motte and Bailey which had been well cleared for public access. A huge thanks again to everyone who helped organise this weekend event and to those that attended. Upcoming events at the village hall Griffin Inn night – Friday 30th August – The village hall becomes the Griffin Inn for the night, and everyone is welcome to come along for a drink, snacks and mingle with other villagers. Oktoberfest – Friday 4th October – A great party night that includes German beer, music, pretzels and lots of fun. Feel free to dress up in your favourite Bavarian themed outfits. Great Canfield’s spectacular Firework Night – 9th November Christmas Cake decorating – December - Learn the art of Christmas cake decorating whilst enjoying good company, Christmas treats, mulled wine & Fizz.

The committee is always looking for new members to help with new ideas and support so if you are interested in joining the Committee or have any suggestions for an event then please let Jason Asser know on 07710 842808.

NEWS FROM YOUR PARISH COUNCIL The Parish Council met in June and July. Full minutes and other information received by the Parish Council can be found at www.greatcanfield.org.uk. Planning As you are no doubt aware the Planning Inspector upheld the decision of Uttlesford District Council to refuse planning permission for 135 new homes on land to the west of Canfield Road. The Parish Council is delighted with this decision and very grateful to residents for their support, especially those who spoke and attended the planning appeal held in May. The total cost of the appeal process was £20.5k, this excludes previous costs for planning application responses and the previous appeal process where Gladman withdrew. Again the Parish Council is very grateful to Takeley Parish Council, Hatfield Broad Oak Parish Council, Takeley Mobile Home Residents Association and grants from District Cllrs, which along with additional resources provided by the Parish Council and a local resident helped to ensure the financial contribution from Great Canfield Parish Council was limited to £5k. At the time of writing, there is still no decision by Uttlesford on the outline planning application for 80 homes on land to the east of Canfield Road and north of Canfield Drive. The access options submitted with this application varied dependant on the outcome of the Gladman appeal. Now this is known it is likely that a decision can be progressed by Uttlesford, however much of the arguments as to why the Gladman site was not allowed in relation to coalescence of settlements, loss of openness, importance of the Flitch Way and the impact on the character of Hope End, equally apply to this site. On 24th July, Uttlesford District Council Planning Committee refused the application for up to 275 new homes residential units, site for Primary School, Multi Use Games Area, on the Bonningtons site, after Planning Officers recommended it for approval. This site although in Hatfield Broad Oak parish is significant as it borders the Flitch Way in much the same way as the Gladman site and is not in the Emerging Local Plan. Great Canfield Parish Council spoke in objection at the Planning Committee meeting.
There are currently two separate planning applications for a new waste vehicle depot to replace the current facility in New Street Dunmow. The first is in the same location in Little Canfield that was previously refused by Uttlesford, it includes up to 4.6ha of employment land comprising business, general industrial and storage and distribution uses. The second application is located on land East of Braintree Road (B1256) Dunmow; this site also proposes classic car storage and restoration business, flexible office space, enhanced public open space, cycle and pedestrian uses and associated development. Great Canfield Parish Council continues to object to the site in Little Canfield as it remains extremely concerned with the potential impact on the local highway network in particular the increase in traffic using single track lanes which lead from the site to High Cross Lane, through Great Canfield and beyond. The Parish Council fully supports the site on land east of Braintree Road. It is expected that both sites will be considered at a forthcoming Planning Committee meeting. Other significant planning decisions in the last quarter include, a. The Planning Inspector overturned Uttlesfords decision to refuse planning permission for 5 new
homes on land to the South of Canfield Park Cottage and the appeal was allowed. A full planning application is pending.
b. The Planning Inspector upheld the decision of Uttlesford District Council to refuse planning permission for 5 new homes on land at Sandhurst and the appeal was dismissed.
c. Uttlesford District Council refused planning permission for 4 new homes on land adjacent to Lavenhams, Hope End. The applicant has made an appeal against this decision.
d. Uttlesford District Council refused planning permission for 1 new home on land between Runnels Hey and Silverthorn, Canfield Drive. The applicant has made an appeal against this decision.
e. Uttlesford District Council refused planning permission for 2 new homes on land at the rear of Mayrose House, Canfield Drive.
Highways Essex Highways has confirmed that Green Street was removed from the list for micro surfacing due to a change in priorities to focus on more urban local roads. Therefore, at the moment there are no plans to undertake any micro surfacing in Green Street, Great Canfield. The Parish Council is extremely disappointed with this decision and will continue to push Essex Highways to ensure the road is included in future plans. Essex Highways has sent notification of the intended closure of Water Lane, due to commence on 2nd September 2019 for 2 days. The closure is required for the safety of the public and workforce while BT undertakes spine cabling works, road closure in place between 0930-1530 only. Finance

THE RODINGS U3A (and surrounding area)
The Rodings and Surrounding Area U3A
Tim Turner from Sworders was the August speaker at the Rodings U3A’s monthly meeting. He has several interesting talks under his belt, so to speak. Fakes and Forgeries was his subject on this occasion, a most engrossing and interesting topic. We all hope to find a valuable old master in our loft but the chance slim slim. There have been a number of wily criminals in the past, and there will be others in the future, who have succeeded in convincing the best art experts from museums, art galleries and universities all over the world that they have found a genuine old master, ancient sculpture or important artefact from ancient Egypt, Syria or other likely area. Despite intensive research by experts large sums of money have been paid for apparently genuine artefacts which have later turned out to be fakes. He told us how some of these scams were carried out and the clever way the perpetrators make it look as if the item must be genuine by forging its provenance. Tim stressed that we should enjoy our possessions from the past for their beauty, the pleasure they give us and for their sentimental value, and not because of their possible market value. The coach trip to Fiddler on the Roof in the west end was a great success. Future trips include a visit to Cromer to see the End of the Pier Show, another visit to Brick Lane Music Hall and to Sonning in Berkshire where there is a theatre with its own restaurant, on the banks of the Thames. Time has whizzed by and it is already nearly the end of our financial year. Members have been asked to renew their subscriptions, in time for the beginning of September, so now is the ideal time to join the RU3A, to get the best possible value from the current annual subscription of £10. U3As are pleased to welcome anyone who has retired or is semi-retired. The Rodings U3A has over 30 active interest groups, some of which have spaces for new members. If any group’s waiting list gets too long our Groups Co-ordinator aims to start up another group on the same subject. The latest new group is a Discussion Group. Members are going to try to avoid the B word! For further information, google The Rodings U3A, email [email protected] or telephone Louise Searl on 01277 362043.
HIGH RODING & GREAT CANFIELD WI
For our June Outing we visited Pleshey Church to see an amazing embroidered panel which was 9 foot high by 4 foot wide displayed in a specially made oak frame. Joan Clarke gave us a very interesting talk about the inspiration and completion of this panel and how she thought it would be a good idea for the village to commemorate 800 years of history. Geoffrey de Mandeville was a local baron who lived in Pleshey Castle and who was one of the 25 barons who forced King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. So much is depicted in the panel with Geoffrey de Mandeville in the centre of the embroidery surrounded by local heraldic shields, trees, animals, seasons and wild flowers. This was all completed by eleven ladies in 18 months. The beautiful work and skill of these needlewomen was much admired and is a marvellous piece of art and a great heirloom for the Church and village for years to come. We then visited the Snug in High Easter where we enjoyed a delicious afternoon cream tea. The Speaker at our July meeting was Kay Ball, a representative from Tropic Skincare. This was Kay’s third visit to our WI and as usual, it was very entertaining and interesting. Kay spoke to us about body and spa and in her very bubbly way soon made everybody feel at ease trying various lotions, mousses, creams and telling us all about the different effect and benefits they make on our bodies! August was our garden meeting when we once again enjoyed visiting Carole & John Malins beautiful and interesting garden. John has an amazing vegetable garden and Carole has many beautiful flowers to attract bees. Members all brought some item for refreshment to share which all made a great way to spend a summer afternoon in a lovely venue, great food and lots of chat!! Future meetings are: - Wednesday, 4th September – 12.30 p.m. for 1 p.m. Annual Lunch with entertainment by Lorraine Ely Wednesday, 2nd October 2 p.m. – Members Meeting – Talk and Demonstration by Wiltshire Foods Friday, 4th October – 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. Annual Harvest Supper with Entertainment Wednesday, 6th November – 2 p.m. – Felsted Aid for Deprived Children – June Milne Saturday, 16th November – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Christmas Fayre Wednesday, 4th December – 2 p.m. – Medieval Christmas – Kate Cole Saturday, 14th December – 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. – Christmas Whist Drive

GREAT CANFIELD BOOK GROUP
Admissions - A life in Brain Surgery by Henry Marsh was the book club choice for May 2019. The book club had previously read “Do No Harm” by the same author and enjoyed it. This book, prompted by Henry’s retirement from the NHS, was felt by all to be a rather darker work. It covers memories of his early work as a medical student and interactions with patients at his London clinics and in the Nepal and Ukraine where he continues to work. It is painfully honest about his doubts and failures and sees him struggling with ageing and the prospect of moving from surgeon to patient himself. He seems to think that our culture prolongs life often at the expense of the patient and his descriptions of the outcomes of some surgeries left most of us thinking we did not like the odds of success. The book was felt by all to be extremely well written and a good read but not uplifting. We were mostly glad we had read it but now feeling in need of something a little lighter for the summer! The Cut Out Girl – Bart Van Es The Book Club book for June was The Cut Out Girl by Bart Van Es. This is the story of Lien de Jong who was given away by her Dutch Jewish parents in the hope that she might be saved. Hidden and raised by a number of families during the war, her story is narrated by Bert Van Es – the grandson of the family who sheltered Lien during part of the war and who raised her after it ended, both of her parents having died in Auschwitz. Lien and her foster family had fallen out after the war and Bart tells of tracing Lien and telling her story. It is not an easy read and some of the information about the way the war unfolded in Holland and the Dutch approach to the Jews during and after the war was surprising and painful. The statistics of survival were truly shocking. The book in part tells its story through Lien’s poesie album – a kind of poetry scrapbook that most girls in the Netherlands used to keep. It includes poems written by friends and cut out pictures to accompany them. The book also includes many photos of the people who are part of Lien’s story. Everyone was pleased to have read the book and got a great deal from it.
Munich review The July book chosen by the Book Club was Munich by Robert Harris. The book is set in September/October 1938 and follows the efforts of Chamberlain to avoid war with Germany at that time and the events leading up to the “peace in our time” declaration. It focuses on two fictional characters one English and one German that have been inserted into the story of the real events. Everyone in the Group enjoyed focussing on this particular moment in history which most of us did not know a huge amount about and encouraged some of us to research it further. Most of the Group also found it a very enjoyable read although a few found the writing a little flat and the characterisation superficial. However the book led to an excellent discussion and we also felt that it gave a more sympathetic view of Chamberlain than the commonly held perceptions. Overall a good read on an interesting period in our history.
GREAT CANFIELD CARPET BOWLS CLUB Where have the last three months gone? It seems like only yesterday we were talking about the” B” word, “MAYhem” (did you get it) and the Monster Raving Loony party taking over. Well, we haven’t got the WHOLE MRLP, just……. I couldn’t possibly comment! Trouble is, now we can’t tell whether we are watching Donny or Boris. What a shame Spitting Image isn’t on anymore. Maybe it is and we can’t tell the difference there either. It’s all so confusing these days. Boris seems to be giving money away all over the place. Perhaps the Government has got Lottery funding. We are all being encouraged to buy electric cars but you can’t charge them up. Apparently, an extension lead and a three-pin plug through the front window is not a good idea. Health and Safety. Trip hazard. You might cause a burglar to stumble as he climbs out of your front window clutching your telly, and sprain his ankle. Lawsuit. Loss of income (broke the telly). Anyway, it’s all about Global Warming and not using Fossil Fuels. Why not fit cars with enormous solar panels? Won’t work, Global Warming doesn’t mean Global Sunshine. There’s only one thing for it, we’ll have to have cars with wind turbines on the roof. Get that in your garage! WHOA! It’s the weather again. Back to the “B” word. Bowls not Brexit. We are in the quiet season. No matches so we are playing our knockout tournament. So, what has happened so far? The first ever winner, OUT! The first ever runner-up, OUT! Last year’s, (and the year before) winner, OUT! Last year’s runner-up, OUT! Year before runner-up, OUT! The only competitor left with any tournament pedigree (we call him “chum”) is Frank “Bomber” Kelly, the 2016 winner. Joining him in the semis are two of the giants of the game. Mick “The smiling assassin” Sellen and Pat “The Tactician” Aiken. We all look up to them. No choice. Over 6ft. The fourth semi-finalist is between Ian Keast, Terry Monk and Maureen Howard (No nicknames until you get into the semis). Who’s going to win? Well, to be frank the form horse has to be Frank. But it’s a funny old game, and Frank isn’t out of the woods yet. Frank only won through to the semi courtesy of VAR, and the whole thing could have been turned upside-down if the objection raised by “H” over incorrect selection of playing surface been upheld. Now “H” has gone missing. As “H” is nowhere to be found there’s no point in coming down to play, but if you insist - We play at: Priors Green Community Hall

RHS HYDE HALL SUMMER FLOWER SHOW 2019 As part of partnership working between Essex Police, the RHS, and Secured by Design we were privileged to have had a show garden designed and built for us at the RHS Hyde Hall Summer Flower Show. We added security measures to the shed and garden whilst the RHS included nature’s own security in the form of defensive planting. Defensive planting being that of a spiky and or dense nature that will deter intruders. The show attracted a record 33,000 visitors and I think most them came through the show garden and spoke to us. A big thank you to all of you that dropped by for a chat, some very interesting conversations and I learnt from one that defensive planting goes back to Anglo Saxon times with farmers defending their crops. It is proving to be a most rewarding partnership for all with each of us gaining from each other’s expertise enabling us to provide a better standard of advice to yourselves, as can be seen in the new RHS Hyde Hall’s garden security leaflet, which also lists some defensive plants and where to find mature examples of them at Hyde Hall. Below is a link to a short video news article regarding the event: https://www.essex.police.uk/news/news-and-features/2019/08aug/safety-advice-given-to-thousands-of-gardeners-at-r/
Heating Oil
Before it gets to autumn you may be thinking about topping up your heating oil tank for winter, with the value of fuel it is worth considering its security. In the more isolated parts of the countryside it is primarily domestic properties that have been targeted by the heating oil thieves, but we have also seen such thefts at farms and other businesses. There are a number of security devices available that will help protect your fuel supplies - details of which can be found via your fuel supplier or local plumber’s merchant. One such system is Tank Commander from http://www.scrabosecurity.com/ which has “Secured by Design” accreditation, others can be found by searching the member companies at www.securedbydesign.com. These products will detect a dramatic drop in fuel and calls you on the telephone. There are also other systems that will add on to an existing intruder alarm system, whilst others protect the filler cap and there are of course the conventional locks. Another consideration would be defensive planting, gates or fencing around the tank concealing and restricting access it, where possible locate the tank under lighting in view of lived in rooms within the house. If you would like further advice regarding security please look at the Essex Police website https://www.essex.police.uk/advice/ , the crime prevention website http://thecrimepreventionwebsite.com/ Naturally we also ask locals to report any unusual activity to police in an emergency on 999 or after the event on 101 or to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
