Marking the centenary of Benjamin

Britten’s birth, St Mary’s is pleased

to present his 1957 opera, Noye’s

Fludde (pronounced Noah’s Flood!).

The work is based on fifteenth-

century Chester miracle plays and is

performed by young people together

with professional and amateur

performers.

We are delighted

that Rector

James Mustard

will appear as Mr

Noah, and Alan

Danson, our

Director of

Music, is already

assembling

singers and instrumentalists from

East Barnet and across North

London.

At just under an hour this beautiful

opera will excite both ear and eye

and we hope that children of school

age will come with family and

friends.

Tickets for the two performances on

Saturday October 18 at 3pm and 6pm

may be booked in advance but are

unreserved. They will cost £10 (£5

under 16) or £7 (£4 under 16) in the

rear gallery. Refreshments will be

served before and after the

performances. Tickets can be bought

on www.eventbrite.co.uk

See Rector’s column, page 3,

and ‘We’re making an opera’ on

page 9. More details will be

given in next month’s edition of

the Church Hill Herald.

All aboard for a flood of

music and fun FIRST it was pantomime, when St Mary’s

Church Hill Herald September 2014—3

From the Rectory JAMES MUSTARD, PARISH PRIEST

AS THE NEW academic

year commences, there is

much exciting news to

share.

First, there has been a very sig-

nificant development in our

1000+ building project.

As I write (in mid-August), our

plans have been approved by

the Diocesan Advisory Com-

mittee (DAC), which has

worked with English Heritage,

the Society for the Preservation

of Ancient Buildings (SPAB)

and various specialists to scruti-

nise our plans and make recom-

mendations to us.

Now that we have the full sup-

port of the DAC, we will apply

for a Faculty (ecclesiastical

‘planning permission’) and,

once that is granted, we will

apply for planning permission

from the London Borough of

Barnet.

Second, in October, we will be

putting on Benjamin Britten’s

opera Noye’s Fludde in

church on October 18. This

will be a tremendous, commu-

nity-building event and it

promises to be a highlight of

our year. Adults and children

from a wide area are being

drawn together to perform

this work and you can read

more about it on page 9.

Third, we are holding the first

of what will become regular

table-top sales in aid of the

1000+ project.

On October 25, at St Mary’s

School, there will be a sale of

new, unused and used chil-

dren’s goods.

Again, there’s information

about this elsewhere, but I’m

immensely grateful for the hard

work of all on the church’s

fundraising team for bringing

this about.

All these things help to raise

awareness of the church in this

parish and of our fundraising

for our church buildings.

Through them, we hope to se-

cure our buildings and ministry

for the future, for the benefit of

all in this place.

DEADLINE. . . for contributions for

our next edition is

September 8 at the

very latest.

Children and adults in an American production of

Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde last year.

We are sailing into

an exciting future

By SAM KORN I WAS in the hospital visiting

a member of our parish when I

heard these words for the first

time.

“Good morning, Father.”

It’s perhaps not all that surpris-

ing. I was in my clerical suit,

wearing my clerical collar, look-

ing very clerical indeed. It was,

however, still quite a shock.

I was ordained at the end of

June. This came at the end of a

very long period of selection and

training – between academic

training and time in parishes, it

took me about seven years.

On just about every day of that

time I thought about what it

would be like to wear a clerical

collar in public. And yet, at the

end of all that preparation, it still

surprises me when I catch a re-

flection of myself in a shop win-

dow and see a clergyman.

I may look very clerical, the

Church may have agreed and the

Bishop may have done his bit by

ordaining me, but my image of

myself is not an image of a cler-

gyman.

My image of myself is still the

image of Sam. I still feel very

much the same person that I

have been for my whole life.

This says something, I think,

about what God wants of every

one of us. He doesn’t call us to

be other people. He does not call

me to be a carbon-copy clergy-

man, but to be distinctively and

fully myself.

God has a plan for each of us.

We all have our own distinctive,

unique callings in life. Being a

Christian doesn’t mean ceasing

to be who we are. Responding to

God’s call for our lives doesn’t

mean we lose who we have been

before now.

God calls us to be completely,

fully ourselves. He calls us to

fulfil every bit of our potential,

whatever that means. And often

it can be hard to see ourselves

how other people see us and how

God sees us.

I’m not quite used to this new

aspect of my identity yet, but I

hope and pray that it may bring

to me and to other people the

wholeness and the joy that God

wants for his creation.

‘Good morning, Father . . .’

Wearing that

new dog collar

gives curate

Sam a bit of a

culture shock

getting used to wearing his

clerical collar.

EAST BARNET Royal British

Legion will mark the start of the

World War One centenary

Poppy Appeal in Barnet with a

march through the village and

service on October 26.

The march will leave the Legion

HQ in Brookhill Road East at

1.40pm and march to Brookside

Methodist Church in East Bar-

net village for a service at 2pm.

After the service the parade will

re-form and march back to the

HQ at about 2.45.

The service will be conducted by

the Revd Colin Smith, Minister

of Brookside Church, and the

Revd James Mustard, Rector of

East Barnet, who are the branch

chaplains.

The parade will be led by the

Pipes and Drums of the Metro-

politan Police Pipe Band.

Refreshments will be available

in the Legion afterwards.

ON AUGUST 4, one hundred years after the out-

Members of St Mary’s Church and Brookside

Methodist Church took part.

Gemma Hawkins writes:

As Mike Pearce mentioned in the July issue, over the

past few months I have been researching the men of

East Barnet who died in the First World War. A small

team of us are putting together a booklet about the

lives of these men, to be sold in aid of the Royal

British Legion Poppy Appeal. I have managed to find

a great deal of information, but so far, the following

names have been difficult to trace with a concrete link

to East Barnet:

The end of August and the fast-

approaching autumn term bring

a flurry of activity in many a

household. Uniforms are

checked and found to be out-

grown (how can someone have

grown so much in such a short

space of time?); new school

shoes wait to confine feet that

have enjoyed six weeks of san-

dal freedom and PE bags are

retrieved from deep under the

bed where they have passed a

dark and idle summer break.

In some miraculous way, everything

is gathered together and the dawn of

the first day of term finds children

the world over dressed and ready,

furnished with book bag, PE kit and

enough pencils, felt tips and erasers

to equip an art department.

For the very youngest, this First

Day is a long-awaited event; count-

less cameras and phones will record

for the family album pictures of di-

minutive figures in over-large uni-

forms and polished shoes, about to

take their first tentative steps along

the road to independence.

Older children, moving on to the

next stage, face challenges of a

world very different from the safe

and nurturing environs of their pri-

mary years. They too, must find

their feet in an unfamiliar setting

and take increasing responsibility

for organising their own lives: a

hard and painful lesson for many!

And then, for young adults every-

where, the start of the academic

year heralds a whole new and excit-

ing change: that of leaving home for

university or college. Is there, I

wonder, the same sense of anticipa-

tion and adventure that my genera-

tion felt as we made the transition

from pupil to student?

For most of us, this was our first

taste of real freedom; to live away

from the constraints of home and to

be treated as an adult were novel

and heady experiences (particularly

in mid-sixties London!), but I sus-

pect that today’s students have al-

ready enjoyed much greater inde-

pendence in many different ways

than we had at the same age.

How different too, the arrangements

for student living! When one con-

siders the amount of domestic para-

phernalia with which a present day

student has to be equipped to live in

halls, it seems incredible that all we

were required to provide was a mug

and a jar of coffee. Tea, sugar, milk,

bread and sticky currant buns all

were supplied daily, in addition to

the three hearty meals on offer

in the dining hall; sheets were

laundered and our rooms

cleaned each week. We were

warm, comfortable and well-

fed; all living and tuition fees

were covered by our grants and

we could enjoy three carefree

years, untroubled by worry of

mounting debt; how truly

blessed we were!

As this time of beginnings and

change approaches, what might

parents hope for their children who

are moving on, from the very

youngest taking those first small

steps into the playground and Year

7’s learning to negotiate the bewil-

dering secondary maze, to those

young people about to fly the secu-

rity of the family nest?

Safety and good health, certainly;

confidence, happiness and success

too; but above all, the hope that they

carry with them those important

values that have been instilled at

home, at school and in church,

which will help them to grow into

well-rounded, responsible adults.

At St Mary’s School it has long

been the custom for all chil-

dren moving on to secondary

education to be presented with

a Bible; a whole library of ad-

vice, wisdom and inspiration in

one volume. Surely, there could

be no better gift to send them

on their way!

MOVING ON

So sorry, you boys and girls, but now it’s

time to get down to hard work again

By LESLEY DANSON SEPTEMBER arrives; a season of beginnings. Holidays are finished and it’s back to work and

back to school! Groans of dismay from some; sighs of relief from many.

Alvo von Cossel

THE OTHER DAY I went to visit

the Sainsbury Wing of the Na-

tional Gallery. The building won

the very prestigious Pritzker Ar-

chitecture Prize (the same prize

won by the Sydney Opera House),

and inside lie some exquisite

treasures of ecclesiastic art.

The Medieval/Renaissance section

is full of triptychs, crosses, icons,

devotional images and much more.

Many of them are bright and colour-

ful, fun, interesting, and you get a

much closer look than you might if

the artworks were on altars in

churches.

A very enjoyable pastime in the

Sainsbury Wing is to identify the

people in the paintings without re-

course to the pictures’ labels. It

takes a bit of practice and initial

learning from Bible readings, gen-

eral knowledge or just reading the

labels when you begin. But it’s a

wonderful feeling to wander round a

gallery, knowing who you’re seeing

before anybody tells you.

Saints are unlike other people one

sees in portraits because you don’t

recognise them by their face. In-

stead, you spot a saint by their en-

tourage, their clothing, the thing

they’re doing, or the thing they’re

holding.

Religious images aren’t portraits.

The basics are, for instance, the Vir-

gin Mary, who typically sits on a

throne, holding her son in her arms.

Or St George, who is often seen

next to his slain foe, the dragon.

That’s the bread and butter of saint-

spotting.

But how about St Jerome? He’s of-

ten shown holding a large stone in

his hand, with which he would beat

himself in repentance, or with a

lion, from whose paw he removed a

thorn. Seeing St Jerome with his

stone not only identifies the man,

but it tells the story of the man who

sheds his earthly riches and beats

himself for ever having let himself

succumb to worldly desire.

Then there’s St Catherine of Siena,

often seen with the famous Cath-

erine wheel on which she was mar-

tyred. She’s also occasionally

painted receiving or donning a ring.

This ring is not like any normal

ring. It’s a wedding ring of sorts,

from her so-called Mystic Mar-

riage with Jesus, where the ring is

not made of gold, but rather of skin.

Foreskin, to be precise. Yes, oddly

enough, St Catherine is often

painted wearing the foreskin of Je-

sus Christ on her finger.

Sometimes, saint-spotting is quite

straightforward. There’s no way to

paint a dragon with any subtlety!

Equally, only one famous saint, An-

drew, was crucified on an X-shaped

cross. Some saints are as easily rec-

ognisable as depictions of the Vir-

gin or Jesus with the crown of

thorns. But at other times, the game

is tougher. There was a painting of

Jesus on a throne with two saints on

either side. Both are men in cloaks

with big bushy beards, and their

hands are empty. They’re just non-

descript people. But tucked just be-

hind one was a small key, and lean-

ing against the wall near the other

was a sword, of which little more

than the hilt was visible. Now,

where have I seen that before? Ah

yes, it’s St Peter and his keys to

Paradise, and St Paul, with his

sword. It required close examina-

tion, but I got there in the end.

With practice at this game, you’ll

feel right at home in the Sainsbury

Wing, but also in so many other

places where you’d never expect it.

Saint-spotting can help you know

the name of a church before you

even see a sign, just by looking at

iconography on the outside of the

building; it can help you make sense

of stained-glass windows; it’ll en-

rich your experience of any ecclesi-

astical space you enter.

And, above all, you’ll learn lots of

new things and you’ll find a new

way into appreciating triptychs

and the like.

IN OCTOBER, St Mary’s

Church will be presenting the

children’s opera Noye’s Fludde

by Benjamin Britten. It tells the

story of Noah, the building of the

Ark and the Flood, and is based

upon the mediaeval mystery play

from Chester.

Noye’s Fludde is, by intention, not

at all like opera as you may know

it. Britten wrote it to be broadcast

in the festival he established in his

adopted home town of Aldeburgh

in Suffolk. The church there at Or-

ford was used because of the flexi-

bility afforded by its moveable

pews. It would enable sets to be

built, cameras to move, and a sense

of performance “in the round” to

be achieved.

In many ways, Noye’s Fludde tells

us all we need to know about Brit-

ten’s style and influences. Though

he had an uneasy relationship with

the Church, Britten was very fa-

miliar with hymnody and Anglican

worship. The whole work has the

structure of an act of worship and

hymns (which the audience is en-

couraged to sing) as i ts

“anchors”. He combined this with

his love of 17th and 18th century

English music, notably that of

Henry Purcell, and embraces the

musical language of the continent,

notably Stravinsky. The work is

written for people of different ages

and abilities. Vocally, there’s a

chorus of children, older children

playing Noah’s children and Noah

and Mrs Noah themselves. The

genius of this work is the way in

which it brings so many different

people and traditions into one co-

herent and enjoyable work.

I will have the pleasure of playing

Noah. It’s a very enjoyable chal-

lenge and I look forward to being

part of this production.

We’re making an opera!

Exciting challenge By musical director ALAN DANSON CONDUCTING a performance of Britten's Noye's

Fludde presents me with an interesting challenge.

The regular instrumentation of either a chamber or

symphony orchestra consists of woodwind, brass,

percussion and strings. However, Britten's choice of

instrumentation deviates from the norm. In addition

to a professional string quintet and amateur string

orchestra, he writes for an ensemble of recorders

and extensive percussion, including a prominent

part for the timpani; not forgetting two pianos, or-

gan and buglers. At the time of its composition (in

the mid 50s) most children

would have been introduced to

the recorder at school. Hand

bells also played a part in the

music education of the day, and

so it is unsurprising that these

sounds should feature promi-

nently. Musicians and singers

have been gathered from many

corners of the borough (and beyond!). We are de-

lighted that young singers and players from many

schools and colleges will be taking part, with some

well known professional musicians. Noye's Fludde

provides a unique opportunity for young players to

put into practice skills they have and to experience

the excitement of being part of such a wonderfully

crafted work. The MAMMOTH task of presenting

this piece is not without its challenges (!) but it is

hoped that performers and audience alike will be

much enriched by the experience.

Producer JOHN SAVAGE appeals to you BRITTEN took one of the well-known plays of several

hundred years ago which were performed on wagons in

the street; rather like the Lord Mayor’s parades of today.

So how to make this all hap-

pen in a simple but exciting

way and with elements of

the 21st century? Building an

ark is not necessary because

this is about those who go

into it. So we will make the

boat with flags and bunting

and we’ll use the same rig-

ging technique for sun, moon and stars, not forgetting the

RAINBOW, to have it ‘dressed overall’ in naval parlance.

The simple staging will be scaffolding planks and poles to

give the idea of these old plays being performed by workmen.

How can you help? If you have any bunting or bright cotton

fabric, small flags or lengths of cord, twine, rope or string or

larger fabrics suitable for suns, stars and moons, not forgetting

rainbow, please donate them asap. If you have experience of

rigging boats/ships, or if you would enjoy getting out your

sewing machine to run up some of these items, please let us

know. If you have pictures of lions, leopards, horses, oxen,

swine, goats, sheep, camels, or any other animals, we’d love

to see them. But most of all do come along to one of the per-

formances. At just under an hour, the performance will be fun

for anyone of school age and over. If you have useful materi-

als, they can be left at the church on Saturdays between 10am

and 2pm. Offers of help to [email protected]

Question 7


ONE OF my favourite New

Testament passages is Mark

Chapter 10: verses 13-16 . . .

People were bringing little chil-

dren to Jesus for him to place his

hands on them, but the disciples

rebuked them. When Jesus saw

this, he was indignant. He said to

them, “Let the little children come

to me, and do not hinder them, for

the kingdom of God belongs to

such as these. Truly I tell you, any-

one who will not receive the king-

dom of God like a little child will

never enter it.” And he took the

children in his arms, placed his

hands on them and blessed them.

He blessed them! Just as our priests

do in the name of Jesus when par-

ents bring their little ones to the

altar at Communion time!

Let there be no doubts about it:

babies and toddlers are warmly

welcomed at our Sunday morning

services. But more than one mother

has sadly told me: “I’m worried

about bringing little Johnny or

Jenny to church in case he or she

makes a noise.”

Understood. It can be awkward if a

sermon or a prayer is disturbed by

crying or shouting. Gone are the

days when a stern Sshh was enough

to keep a child quiet. And it’s fair

to say that some worshippers are

unhappy if their concentration is

noisily shattered.

We recognise the problem — and

we do something about it. Parents

with toddlers are invited to sit at

the back of the church, under the

gallery, where toys, books and pen-

cils and paper are provided. But if

ever things appear to be getting a

little fraught, a calming influence is

quickly provided by our church-

warden Chris. A few words from

this cool grandma and all is peace

and quiet again.

No surprise — for Chris has had

the experience of running a nursery

and minding children. She told the

Church Hill Herald: “I love chil-

dren and enjoy being with them. I

feel very strongly that all children

should be loved, shown affection

and respect and taught by example

how to be good and kind members

of society.”

I agree wholeheartedly with Chris

as she adds: “It is wonderful to see

so many families with young chil-

dren at our services worshipping

together with us ‘oldies’ . . .”

So there we are. The disciples may

have had the best of intentions in

keeping children at bay, but Jesus

put them right: “Do not hinder

them,” he said, “for the Kingdom

of God belongs to such as these.”

See you Sunday. ALL of you!

And blessings galore to everyone.

THIS EVENT was held in June to

celebrate the Brownies’ 100th an-

niversary and was held at our

County (Middlesex East) camp-

site near Elstree. The 2nd East

Barnet Brownies were among the

370+ Brownies who attended -

here’s what they had to say about

their day out:

Amy: At the Fun of the Fair there

were 370 Brownies and lots of stalls.

My favourite thing was everything. I

got a bag, brooch, hairbrush, headband

and much more.

Lily: I had so much fun; I sumo-

wrestled Isabelle but I squashed her.

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the

Brownies was so fun. At the shop there

were very cute owl teddies. Someone

took photos of us – we were allowed to

dress up in funny clothes.

Lucy: When I went to Northern

Heights with the Brownies it was really

fun celebrating the 100th Brownie

birthday. I especially liked beating and

squashing Isabelle (sumo wrestling!),

playing in the woods and making loom

bands.

Maya: On Sunday I went to a fair with

the Brownies – there were 370 Brown-

ies there. I went into the forest, but I

got stung by stinging nettles. I still had

fun.

Tiarn: The Fun of the Fair was AWE-

SOME. Most things were free except

for the shop. I went on everything.

There were 370 Brownies there. The

arts and crafts were my favourite.

Isabelle: When I went to the Brownie

outing I had tons of fun doing the sumo

wrestling, plate smashing and making a

loom bracelet. IT WAS SO MUCH

FUN!!!

Jessica: It was very fun. I really en-

joyed the bouncy castle and when we

all got lost in the forest. I got to play

sumo wrestling with Isabelle and

Megan, and I won with Megan but I

didn’t with Isabelle. I also went on the

tyre swing.

Megan: We had lots of fun. My fa-

vourite was the bouncy castle. At the

shop I bought a bracelet and a hair

band. I bought an ice-lolly with Jes-

sica.

Mia: At the Fun of the Fair it was

really cool. You could get tattoos and

ice cream, but the best thing was the

shop. They had owls, flower bags,

candy, lucky dip – all were awesome.

Amelie: At the Fun of the Fair I liked

the sumo wrestling and the bingo be-

cause they were both free. I also en-

joyed the bingo because it was ages

until you knew if you had won. I also

did plate smashing – that was cool too.

Abi: At All the Fun of the Fair my

favourite part was gladiators. I was the

champion. I met my friends Olivia and

Chloe. This was the best day of my life.

Hannah: I liked the bouncy castle,

bouncy slide, DJ music, sumo wres-

tling, stick fighting (gladiators!), ice

cream, craft, loom bands, water fight,

plate smashing, coconut shy, woods,

tyre swing, tightrope walking.

Anne Malloy, Brownie Guider

ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR!

Brownies enjoy

a great day out

‘NEWS from the Parochial Church

Council’ has some catching up to do.

This report will cover the annual

meeting and two PCCs.

The annual meeting was held on April

30 when the annual report and accounts

were agreed. Chris Mears and John

Hawkins were re-elected as churchwar-

dens. The following were elected to the

PCC for a three year period Anna Cas-

tiglione [who has since resigned as she

has moved abroad], Stephen Edwards,

Hilary Middleton, John Savage, Michael

Savva, Jon Simpson and Roger Melling.

In addition, our sidesmen were ap-

pointed for the year, Gemma Hawkins

was appointed electoral roll officer and

our independent financial examiner con-

firmed.

The first meeting of the new PCC was

held on June 2. Much of the meeting was

taken up with a Diocesan presentation

‘HELP, I’M A PCC MEMBER’. This

helpfully outlined the responsibilities of

PCC members, explaining what we

needed to know about our church and the

range of skills that may be required.

PCC members are also trustees and have

to comply with the requirements of the

Charity Commission. The church’s rela-

tionship with St Mary’s School was dis-

cussed and the suggestion made that

PCC members might sometimes attend

the weekly school service held at church.

It was reported that £ 2,222 had been

collected in Christian Aid Week. Tony

and Linda Eade were thanked for or-

ganising our collections. The treasurer

reminded us that our expenditure con-

tinued to exceed our income. The Rec-

tor expressed his sadness at the passing

of Martin Horton and that he is still

finding tasks which Martin dealt with.

The presence of the Bishop of Hertford

and the Archdeacon at Martin’s funeral

were a measure of the esteem in which

Martin was held.

The PCC met again on July 14. Our

new curate, Sam Korn, was welcomed

to his first meeting. An interim revised

safeguarding policy document, together

with a supporting explanatory leaflet

were considered. After discussion it

was agreed that the National Methodist

Church’s revised policy document

would be adopted so that we would

continue to use the same document as

our Brookside partners.

The PCC was reminded that the dioce-

san centenary celebrations would be held

on August bank holiday Monday at Key-

soe in Bedfordshire. It was agreed that

we should join the Bedfordshire and

Hertfordshire Historic Churches Trust.

Membership could be of assistance to St

Mary’s as we progress our development

plans.

It was agreed that we should embark on

a review of our mission action plan

[MAP], adopted in June 2013. This

might best be tackled at a PCC ‘away

day’ rather than at a regular PCC meet-

ing. The Rector also proposed that we

should review our communications, fo-

cusing in the first place on our publicity

materials and website. The Rector, Sam

Korn and John Hawkins will take this

further. Harvest Festival will be cele-

brated on September 28 at 10am with

Brookside Methodist Church at St

Mary’s followed by a bring and share

lunch. There will be a joint service at

Brookside on October 12 and our com-

munion service on October 19 will be

held at St Mary’s School.

The PCC received a schedule of costs for

progressing our development plans and

was advised that we were getting close

to the point when we could apply for

planning permission. The operation of

the ‘quiet area’ under the balcony was

discussed and whether it might be better

if it was moved to another part of the

church.

Colin Smith, who will be leaving Brook-

side next year, reported that the partner-

ship group [made up of representatives

of both churches] had discussed the

process for finding his replacement.

The PCC considered proposals for a

stewardship initiative on October 5.

There would be emphasis on giving both

time and skills to support the mission of

the church as well as financial giving.

Further work would be done to support

the initiative including the preparation of

draft letters.

HOLY AND UNHOLY HUMOUR

DOGGED

PURSUIT A BUTCHER is about to shoo a

dog from his shop when he

notices there is a £10 note and a

message in its mouth.

Amazed, he takes the money, puts

a bag of chops in the dog's mouth,

and quickly closes the shop. He

follows the dog and watches it

look both ways and trot across the

road to a bus-stop.

The dog checks the timetable and

sits on the bench. When a bus

arrives, it walks to the front, looks

at the number and gets on.

The butcher follows. As the bus

travels out into the suburbs, the

dog takes in the scenery. After a

while it stands on its back paws to

push the ‘stop’ bell, then the

butcher follows him off.

The dog runs up to a house and

drops its bag on the front step. It

goes back down the path, takes a

big run, and throws itself against

the door. It does this again and

again. No answer. So it jumps on a

wall, beats its head against a

window, jumps off, and waits.

A man opens it and starts shouting

at the dog. The butcher runs up

and screams: “What the hell are

you doing? This dog's a genius!”

The owner responds: “Genius,

rubbish. It's the second time this

week he's forgotten his key!”

Smaller squad, but

it’s looking good THERE ARE lots of games to

look forward to for the Bees

as we start our promotion

campaign. Martin Allen has worked hard with

the team over the summer, work-

ing on fitness, skills and team

spirit, and laying on some pre-

season friendlies against formida-

ble opposition. It was good to see

the black and amber army un-

daunted by this. It’s a smaller

squad but with a good mix of

youth and experience – let’s hope

some great results follow!

As usual, the club website

(www.barnetfc.com) is an excel-

lent place to find out more about

how to support the team, and trans-

port to the matches. Martin Allen

responded here to fans’ questions

about his plans and approach over

the summer, and the players will

also be giving fans the chance to

learn more about them.

In September our matches (at 3 pm

unless otherwise stated) are:

Saturday 6 at home to Alfreton

Town. The Reds finished 11th in

the Conference last season. We

signed striker John Akinde, and

midfielder Dan Brading, from

them this summer. Last season we

lost 3-1 away to them, but beat

them 1-0 at home.

Wednesday 10 away to Dover

Athletic at 7.45 pm. The Whites

won the playoffs from Conference

South last season and returned to

the Conference after a twelve year

absence. We have only ever

played them three times (two wins

and a draw.)

Saturday 13 away to AFC Tel-

ford. The Bucks won the Confer-

ence North title last year, only a

year after being relegated. We’ve

never played them before…

Tuesday 16 at home to Wrexham,

starting at 8 pm. The Dragons fin-

ished 17th in the league last sea-

son. When we played them at The

Hive, live on BT Sport (it would

be!) we had to settle for a draw

after Edgar Davids was sent off

and they scored from the resultant

free kick. However, when we

played them away, we beat them

one-nil.

Saturday 20 at home to Altrin-

cham. The Robins gained promo-

tion last season. We have played

them six times, with two wins, two

draws and two losses. Australian

cricketer Ricky Ponting is a major

shareholder in the club – I wonder

if he will be there?

Saturday 27 away to Forest Green

Rovers. Last season we beat the

Rovers 2-1 in both matches, so

let’s hope we do the same this

time. Bees fans’ favourite Clovis

Kamdjo now plays for them.

Tuesday 30 away to Braintree.

The Iron gained promotion to the

Conference in 2011 and finished

6th last year. However, we did

manage to beat them 3-0 away last

year, after they had two men sent

off, and drew 1-1 when we played

them at the Hive.

Martin Allen has allocated the

number 13 shirt to the Barnet fans,

showing that he expects us to play

our part in cheering the team on.

It’s a good job we’re not supersti-

tious…

I have been attending Hampden Dental

Clinic for nearly 40 years. It was always

good, but it is now better than ever. The

treatments are superb and the careful and

caring customer service from charming

and knowledgeable people make going to

the dentist (almost) a pleasure.

Cllr Ingrid Cranfield Deputy Mayor of

Enfield I cannot thank you enough for the care

you have offered me and my teeth over

the years. I never imagined I could be

happy to have to visit the dentist, but pain

avoidance, patient care and lots of laugh-

ter have made every visit bearable and

often enjoyable.
