Vicar’s letterVicar’s letterVicar’s letterVicar’s letter————What’s in a name? - or: A rose by any other name...

I wrote in the June edition last year about the diocese’s intention to move to

Common Tenure. No penalties for needing to be reminded what that is, for,

though in some ways a major change, it’s not likely of itself to bring any great innovations to the life of this, or indeed any parish. So, no need to panic.

Common Tenure, I wrote then, would bring in new Terms of Service for

clergy, bringing the Church of England into line with the Employment Rela-

tions Act of 1999: ‘gone will be distinctions between non-stipendiary ministers and those who take a stipend, as will the distinction between incumbent and

priest-in-charge: all appointments from next February will be open-ended ...

Historically this will be quite a change as the freehold system will have been

in existence for 1500 years!’.

This week the diocesan registrar, Martin Follett posted the following in the

diocese’s eBulletin. Some of you will cry, ‘Too much information!’ Neverthe-

less, please read on:

Why can't I be the Rector?

Some clergy have asked if they can be the ‘rector’ or the ‘vicar’ instead of the ‘priest-

in-charge’ now that common tenure has arrived. Before common tenure we had ben-

eficed and unbeneficed clergy. The beneficed clergy were incumbents and held the

freehold of the benefice. Incumbents were either rectors or vicars, and they were presented by a patron. However, because the whole Diocese has been involved with

pastoral re-organisation, the Bishop has suspended the presentation of most bene-

fices which has meant that patrons have not been able to present an incumbent. In-stead the Bishop has licensed priests-in-charge and they are unbeneficed because

they do not hold the freehold of the benefice. As a result, most parochial clergy are

priests-in-charge. This you know.

None of this is changed by common tenure. We still have benefices and patrons and

unless presentation is suspended, the patrons will present clergy to be instituted by

the Bishop. The only difference is that such incumbents, be they rectors or vicars,

will hold subject to common tenure. Similarly, if the right of presentation is sus-pended because pastoral re-organisation is being considered, the Bishop will license

a priest-in-charge. The only difference is that the priest-in-charge will be subject to

common tenure.

So the names stay the same – rector, vicar, priest-in-charge – but now everyone is

on the same common tenure. The exceptions to this are clergy who were incumbents

when common tenure took effect. They had the option of converting to common ten-ure or not. Whether they do or whether they don't, they remain rector or vicar as be-

fore.

Most of the preparation for pastoral re-organisation has been done and many of the

clusters are working well. I expect that pastoral re-organisation will follow, turning clusters into new benefices, parishes, teams, groups or whatever formulation works.

As part of that process clergy who are leading a cluster will often be nominated as

the incumbent by the scheme and when that happens, he or she will be the rector or vicar.

I’ll add to that only this: what people choose to call me I have no control over

so I will continue to respond appropriately to the appeal: '“'ere, vicar, say one

for me.”

Egypt in Bible times

As I write, the news headlines have just announced that President Mubarak has, at

last, resigned. Hopefully, by the time you read this, peaceful solutions have been

found for the future of Egypt.

Jewish settlements from earliest times have been excavated in Egypt. Other itinerant workers from other countries also went there for employment and stayed. And at

Christmas we are reminded that the Holy family fled from Herod’s cruelty to Egypt

where they hoped to find hospitality and a living amongst their own kith and kin.

About 1300 BC, in the area of the lower Nile, Moses was born. His ancestors, Jacob

and sons, had been brought to Egypt with the blessing of the Pharoah. Jacob’s

younger son Joseph had been sold by his older brothers to merchants on their way to Egypt. There he rose to high office. After a few hundred years these Israelites had

multiplied and were considered a potential threat. They were enslaved to make clay

and straw bricks for ambitious new building projects. (The pyramids had long been

built and were at that time already regarded as ancient).

Moses had a privileged childhood in the royal household but had to spend some time

in exile in Midian, experiencing another culture and laws that related to some of the

Ten Commandments later to be given to the Israelites. After some years he returned to Egypt but as a consequence of terrible but timely plagues, the Egyptians were

initially pleased to be rid of the Israelites.

The great escape has been remembered every year in the celebration of the Passover. It is a joyous symbolic ceremony of God’s deliverance, and a ritual to be a

constant reminder of His care.

Bishop Tim names Serafina

Community News and ViewsCommunity News and ViewsCommunity News and ViewsCommunity News and Views

11 o'clock on Saturday 5th February saw the Nankersey Rowing Club wel-

come Tim Thornton, Bishop of Truro, to conduct a service of dedication for

Nankersey Rowing Club's new pilot gig, Serafina at Fish Cross in Flushing. Built by Andrew Nancarrow this is the first gig to be built in local elm for 10

years.

On this particulary blustery day Nankersey Male Choir sang a selection of ap-

propriate songs including the apt Will your anchor hold?.

Following the naming ceremony, Bishop Tim took to the water for his first row

in a gig. Apart from the many shorebound well-wishers, the ceremony was

visited by two other gigs, Trefusis (from Flushing & Mylor), and Fury (from

Falmouth) who offered their support and congratulations. Next time they meet may be at the World Championships in the Scillies! All were invited to

the Royal Standard for refreshments.

The funds to pay for Serafina were raised from a variety of sources, including

Mylor Parish Council , the sale of 64ths, Sport England, Grass Roots, Golder

Associates, Morgan Bradbury, Scrace & Co, the Worshipful Company of Foun-ders, Remington Hickes and by the Club's members.

Serafina and her sister gig Circe can be seen at Mylor at weekends and some

weekday afternoons as their crews put them through their paces and start

concentrating on training for the World Championships. Both boats are kept at

Mylor. Details of the club can be found at www.nankeresyrowingclub.com. Malcolm Clark

Mylor Flower Club will be holding their next meeting on March 7th in the Ord

Statter Pavilion at 7.30p.m. Mrs. Diane Bate from Falmouth will demonstrate

'Lets Move On'. Arrangements are raffled afterwards. Some members take part in a Competition A Host of Golden Daffodils. Space allowed 2ft. 6in.

Guests are welcome (£3). Contact Jenny on 01326377318

As part of the graveyard restoration group of St Mylor Church, I am research-

ing the history of Aileen and Hugh Chamberlin and their daughter Nancy. They came from Mylor and in about 1909 had a car called a "Star". Hugh died

about 1935. There is a wonderful picture of them in a motoring book and I

have discovered they are buried in the churchyard. We are compiling informa-

tion on interesting graves and I wonder if there are any relatives of the Chamberlin family still living in this area who could help me with the family

history. If you have any information I shall be very grateful.

Flushing & Mylor Pilot Gig Club are celebrating the news that they have

just been awarded £10,000 of National Lottery funding from Sport England’s

Small Grants Programme. The money is to buy equipment to encourage more junior rowers into the sport of gig rowing. Celia Fraser, club Secretary, said

“This is fantastic news for our club. Gig rowing is a family sport and the local

children will of course be the next generation of rowers. We want to give

them the best opportunity to get involved. We have a lot of children in the area who would like to take up gig rowing and already have a committed core

of teenagers who regularly row with us in full sized gigs. With this money we

shall be able to purchase some smaller rowing boats, lighter oars and other

equipment more suitable to their, and the much younger children’s, needs. 2011 is going to be an exciting year for our club.” Children looking to take up

rowing should contact the club via their website www.fmpgc.org

Picture: Marianne Groen

(Junior co-ordinator) and

Rodney Myers (club

Chairman) join some of

the club’s Juniors in look-

ing forward to the day the

grant money will provide

them with more suitable

equipment for their age.

Tremayne Hall Table Top Sale was held on a cold but sunny February

morning; sixteen tables manned by organisations and individuals offered a

wide variety of goods and many bargain-hunters walked away feeling satisfied

with their finds. A beautiful and much-loved doll’s house has moved to a new home within the village which is a happy conclusion for all concerned! The

sale was also a chance to meet friends for coffee and delicious home-made

cakes. The overall atmosphere was enhanced by our young musicians busking

at the door along with a flower stall, that gave a colourful welcome.

There were the usual gasps of surprise from visitors unfamiliar with the hall –

‘ How fantastic- aren’t you lucky to have this lovely hall in the middle of My-

lor? ’(I sometimes think that we don’t always appreciate what we have on our

own doorstep ....)

The sale was also an excellent opportunity to enrol new members for the Tre-

mayne Hall Supporter’s Club and we are delighted that several joined on the

day. We shall need plenty of local support if we are to maintain the present

high standards of the hall and we hope to contact many more for this good

cause (please ring 01326 372142 if you would like to find out more.) Profits from the sale amounted to £250 for the hall and we were pleased with the

lively social occasion, which is good publicity for us. A new stall-holder said

“You will let me know when you have the next one – how often do you hold

these? Is it once a month?” Val J-J

St Mylor Churchyard Renovation Group has not been able to carry out

much maintenance work as a result of the extreme weather we experienced

during parts of December and January. Our gardener, Richard Fray, has con-tinued to keep on top of general and routine jobs, for which we are extremely

grateful.

We are beginning to see the result of our bulb planting and a variety of daffo-

dils are now flowering along the sides of the Trinnick gate entrance and in front of the Trinnick Building. A few bulbs have been planted into flower pots

and these will eventually be re-planted in the bank close to the Lych gate. We

would welcome any spare bulbs, particularly local indigenous varieties, as

there are many areas in the Churchyard that are suitable for bulb planting.

The group has re-commenced work in the area below the Ganges Memorial

and our hope is that we can complete this area before Easter and to then

start work again in the area behind the Bell Tower. There is a great deal of

clearing to be done and any extra pairs of hands would be very welcome. Again, we are uncovering some really interesting headstones and graves.

The group has decided to meet on Wednesday mornings, instead of Thursday,

and anyone who has a couple of hours to spare is most welcome to join us.

We meet at 1030 and can usually be easily found either weeding graves,

strimming ivy or burning up prunings. Helen Fletcher

The Friends of St Mylor will be holding their AGM on Monday 7th, March in

All Saints’ Church, Mylor Bridge at 7:30 pm

St Peter’s Church, Flushing, and its surroundings were shaken recently by

the unaccustomed sound of Big Band jazz.

Performing in concert to raise funds for the church, was the Truro School Jazz

Orchestra under their conductor, Simon Latarche. Among the highlights of an

exciting and always enthralling evening were a number of individual perform-ances including some amazing keyboard wizardry from Ben Comeau and vo-

cals from Tegan Pryce and local singer, Oliver Eastburn. Their duet Baby it’s

cold outside won rapturous applause from a most appreciative audience of all

ages.

Mylor Book Group has been discussing the Night Watch by Sarah Waters.

This was a finalist for both the Orange prize and the Man Booker prize and was not an easy read for the group’s members. The novel moves backwards

from 1947 to 1944 and then back to 1941 and was set in war torn London.

I found the descriptions of women working as night time ambulance workers

interesting and the hardships of post war Britain were carefully explained in several storylines. The interaction of the characters and their complicated

lives led to passionate opinions. One member felt that it could have been writ-

ten with an eye to a screenplay and that it would make a good film.

Cockwells specialises in building and restor-

ing classic yachts, motor launches and

superyacht tenders. We are also building the first of a new semi production motor

launch The Duchy 27 which will be

launched later this year.

Although Cockwells is not a yacht broker, we do occasionally have second-hand boats

for sale down at Mylor Creek Boatyard.

These are either boats previously built by

Cockwells for customers who may wish to upgrade or, sometimes, boats built by our

staff as their personal projects.

We have recently learned that

two Cockwells Classic Launches may be coming up for

sale this summer a Cockwells

32 and Cockwells 37. Both own-

ers are planning to have larger

bespoke motor launches built by Cockwells. These boats

are available for viewing by in-

terested parties - for more in-

formation please contact Dave Cockwell direct.

Two of our staff members also have boats for sale down at the yard.

Philip Austin, our Project Manager, has a British

folk boat, Winwillow, built in 1959. She had a structural refit 5 years ago but now needs some

minor repairs and cosmetic tidying. She comes

with good sails, a Yanmar inboard and a basic

cruising inventory.

Alasdair Grant, one of our Apprentice Ship-wrights, completed Stead Fast in June 2010.

Built with larch planking on oak frames with ma-

hogany laid decks, she is based on an old fishing

boat from Beer.

Stead Fast is a very strong and dura-

ble boat and comes with a double-

axle trailer.

Mylor Bridge School reporting ... Mylor Bridge School reporting ... Mylor Bridge School reporting ... Mylor Bridge School reporting ... The Year 4 children have been using their writing skills to write reports. There

are many things going on in our very pleasant village school. A number of ac-

tivities that have taken place recently are expertly covered in these pieces of work.

The children are developing excellent ICT skills through their work in class

time. Using Microsoft Word to draft and edit a text is just one of the many

useful applications that we use in school.

MYLOR SCHOOL GOES EXPLORING

The whole of Mylor School went to the Eden Project we all went exploring the amazing Bi-

omes and this is how it started.

On the 21st of January 132 children from My-

lor Bridge School went to Eden on three coaches. (That’s everyone!) We all had a bril-

liant time there. My group went in the Medi-

terranean biome first, and then we went in

the Rainforest biome and boy I wish we went

in that one first because we were absolutely boiling when we came out!

When the time came to go ice skating I was

really nervous because I have never skated

before (last year I had double blade skates) but then suddenly when I was on the ice I

was skating along on the ice without holding

onto anything just like Dancing on Ice! But I

stayed very close to the edge (just in case!)

And that’s how it started! GM

Theatre production about Peter Pan

On Monday the 31st January the theatre production came to Mylor Bridge

School, the whole school saw Peter Pan in our School Hall. The little ones thought it was realistic because they may have seen the film. It’s a shame we

didn’t have any popcorn!

Peter Pan was really funny and everyone laughed. Captain Hook was funny.

Some year sixes said ‘what is the play next year?’ and Mrs. Roberts said ‘I’ll

tell you when you leave’. Hopefully, it will be really good next year, or it could even be better next year and all the children will enjoy it.

It could be Robin Hood, Hook, Return to Never Land and it could be Dick

Whittington.

Captain Hook I noticed had a rubber hook. And next year I really can’t wait to be surprised of how good it might be. It was a nice way to spend a Monday

morning. CA

Chris Lea is in his sixteenth year as head-teacher of Mylor Bridge School and

will soon be celebrating twenty-five years of service to education in Cornwall.

Born ‘a Man of Kent’, he spent his early years in East Anglia (he still supports Ipswich Town Football Club) where his father designed wharves for super-

tankers, ‘a good place to be‘. He and his three brothers attended St Joseph’s

College, a Roman Catholic secondary school, then he was at St Luke’s, Exeter

for three years where he qualified as a secondary school PE teacher. But he had wisely taken enough primary modules to apply for, and secure, a job in a

primary school, attracted by a charismatic head-teacher whose management

skills he still pays tribute to.

By this time his had met his wife Judith, a Truro girl, so local holidays fol-lowed and in due course a new job at St Mary’s, Falmouth and a new home in

Perranwell. The couple have two children, of whom he is tremendously proud:

Mark, who won himself a scholarship to Bryanston, shares his father’s rugby

skills to professional level, and Megan, a talented flautist, is now finishing her degree course.

Running a small school is chal-

lenging and pressured. Chris is

clear that leadership is about

not standing still; he has seen

many changes in policy and cur-

riculum through the last quarter

century but continues to be

positive in face of ever more

new initiatives. His Christian

faith is crucial to his optimism;

he speaks of ‘a life of doubt en-

riched by faith‘.

He is full of praise for his colleagues, and stresses that only through team-

work is real progress made. He is not a desk-bound manager; he continues to

teach, for he knows that only by working in the classroom can he fully appre-

ciate the concerns of his fellow teachers and ‘keep a sharp grip of what‘s go-ing on‘. This way he will also have taught every child that goes through the

school.

His love of children is evident, as is his determination that each individual in

his care should grow in self-confidence and develop personal skills - even should this require individual support. He is proud of the achievements of the

children in all aspects of their development: while academic progress is

tracked immaculately, Chris is at his most enthusiastic when describing the

high standard of art-work, the involvement of so many in music, whether

brass or strings, and the children’s sporting achievements.

Chris seems unable to sit still long - he relaxes by travelling to share his own

children’s successes, by coaching the county under- eighteen rugby team, by

enjoying Cornwall. He plays racketball and, when weather permits, cycles to

school from home in Perranwell. Roger Nicholls
