Servers would need to be available between 10.0 - 11.45 am or 5.45 - 8.15 pm any day except Wednesday, perhaps weekly or fortnightly. To find out more call 01865-728545.

Forming the future

The Link exists to encourage local community in some small way. The church has wider aims, all to do with being human, our values and goals - but living in a shared bit of land and society is part of it. Supporting families that are giving shape to the next century by bringing up children is one part of that. How to do it as patterns change is much talked about and in some places a lot is done - here less than most. Thanks to a succession of good workers the Youth Club has contributed over many years to people learning to do things together.

The pattern of Sundays has changed a lot recently and now become a main slot for sport, shopping - and work. It remains special for most of us - marked in different ways. As a help to doing its job Sandford church has been building a parish room and on 22nd September is going to open its creche and Sunday Club with an early morning (10 a.m.) celebration - all parents and children are welcome to come. For information ring Pam (777011) - or just come and see - and maybe join. There is no charge, as this is something the older members of the church are happy to support.

Ironing: Anyone in need of the Sandford local ironing service, please telephone 718865.


Fete and Flower Festival
Thanks to everyone who contributed with time, prizes, energies, contributions. Those who made the Trip Down the Thames with the flowers said it was enchanting - we really can boast of one of the best Flower Festivals in the county.


Summer Play-scheme
After an early complication caused by a neighbouring play-scheme the Sandford one again went brilliantly. Thanks again to Sue Bowen and her team of helpers. The committee could do with reinforcements, as it can only continue next year if enough voluntary help is promised. Contact Sue Bowen at 10B Heyford Hill Lane.

REST IN PEACE

Amelia Smith (affectionately known as Meally).
A loving wife to Jim, mother to seven children, and grandmother to fifteen, and a loving sister to Eileen, she was also a good friend to all. Kind, happy, cheerful, and with a great sense of fun, she was a fighter, particularly during illness, and a strong defender of family values. She was much loved and will be much missed.


Revd Dr David Nicholls
The sudden death of Father David, a friend to many in Sandford and the Chairman of the Governors at Lawn Upton, last June has been much covered in the national Press. A memorial service will be held in London (Bloomsbury) at noon, Saturday 21st September and coaches depart from Littlemore church. He will be very much missed, and our sympathies go to Gillian, and to all our friends in that neighbouring parish, once the enemy but now good friends.

The River Run

We are not now that strength which in old days
  Moved earth and heaven; that which we are we are;
    One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fat, but strong in will ...
                      Alf Tennyson - Ulysses
The annual fun run departed at 4.30 on Saturday 29th June, and returned at intervals and in varying condition over the next 30 to 60 minutes. A record number completed three miles but the tough five milers were thinner on the ground.

A super fit member of the Dixon team came in at 30.49 (his last year winning fiancee and future father-in-law unable to run this year - but surrendered the Sandford shield to the second arrival Georgie Gibbons at 32.38 - amazing time for a 12 year old (his father couldn't keep up with that so sat it out on the trainer's bench across the road). Amy was also ill, so missed the chance of adding to her amazing collection of medals. Andy Pike of cricketing fame came third (34.17) and Steve Bull, a twice winner was down to 34.42 this year. Was this generosity or advancing years??

Frank Bailey achieved 35.05 and Sean Woodward 35.14 and Matthew Caldwell (aged 13) 38.20. Sam Hutton maintained his fine 38.35 and Stefan (of the clan Andrews) and his friend Philip Carpenter 38.45. There was then a long gap till Ashley Cadman at 44.06 and the vicar at 45.06 - last man (there's a saying about that) but narrowly ahead of the women 5-milers Sarah Grylls and Heather Mitchell, both on 45.10. It was a mean race at the tail, but forgiveness has been craved and vouchsafed. We hope these rather daunting times will not discourage the less fleet of foot from competing next year ...

In the 3-mile race the Sandford Youth division (5-9) was won fast by Matthew Daglish and Gregory Boyle (25.10) followed by Matthew Judd (28.28), Ian Middleton (29.35), Nicky Hutton (30.42), Mitchell Moulson (33.33), Jessica Boyle, Mark Wilmot (Youngest Competitor medal at 42.14), Richard Earp, Haldane and Matilda McFall. In the 10-12 division Daniel Welch achieved 24.16, Aline Smith (25.40) - both gold - Paul Middleton 25.42 and Jo Hutton 25.43 (both silver, followed by Thomas Wilson (28.30) and in no particular order Aidan Maulson, Marinda Barry, Helen Daglish, Laura Rolston, Karen Stimpson etc.

English School The 13-16 year olds were rather slower, carrying extra weight - the times are misleading because of unclarity whether they did 3 or 5 miles, but if 5 they were pretty good, especially Laura Earp, Jean Saunders, Adam Charlton, Martin Stimpson, Jim Smith, Andrew Paine, Nicole Rolston, Steve Brookings. Timing also went astray for the adult 3 miles, some of them cunningly keeping down with their children, but some commendation goes to Andy 'Slogger' Middleton (30.15), Charlie Wilson (28.30), Zak the dog (35.01), Gina Ashburner, Val Rudman, Pauline Rudman, Molly and Humphrey McFall, Rosie Earp, Ron Caffel and Rosy, John Wilmot and other who didn't report in.

Some stalwarts of recent years were sadly working (Sue Norton, Jo Dixon, Alan Brookings) so we'll go for 5.30 next year (and some pre- registration to avoid further admin chaos. Thanks to First Aid patrollers, water suppliers, guides, supporters, judges, timekeepers and above all sponsors, who have made this event good news for Youth Club funds and a help towards village building projects, notably the Parish Room.

Sandford-in-Cyberspace

Surfing the Thames - sorry, Internet - the other day the Link office chanced upon Dan Tarzey's interesting entry on Sandford mentioned a couple of Links ago. Dot by dot rather fine pictures of the Lock, the church, Templars Farm, and Minchery farm come up on the screen in colour and useful information such as the boat and bus times. There's the literary touch with Jerome K. Jerome's famous reference (1889 - Three Men in a Boat - to say nothing of the dog) to Sandford as 'a very good place to drown yourself in' (p.174), and Oscar Wilde. It was nice to read about the geo-physical survey on the fields near the Link office (not at all intrusive) and that 'despite the proximity of Oxford and the new developments, Sandford-on-Thames still enjoys something of the flavour of a village.' Well done Dan - keep Inter-Netting.

see for yourself:   The Sandford-on-Thames home page



Tug of war

The Fox Pub An old Sandford tradition was partly recovered at the fete on 13th July when rope was pulled. The two fine locals on Henley Road (Fox and Catherine Wheel) entered impressive teams, as did Pheasant Walk, Church Road and Rock Farm Lane. One team withdrew. Despite some confusion, it seems likely that the heavy-weights from 'C.W. All Stars' were winners but Fox clearly won something, as did Pete East's team the Pheasants. Church Road pulled powerfully, anchored by the Charltons and hard work put in by Dr Wilkinson and Charlie Wilson and others, but were finally outgunned. In the interludes many children pulled, also a scratch team. The trophy was last won by the Littlemore Rugby people and is still being traced - meanwhile substitute glass for silver was awarded.

Meetings will be be set up in your area to give you the chance to come and discuss the issues that interest you most.

Watch out for information on your nearest consultation meeting. Users and carers who incur expenses attending the meetings can reclaim their expenses.

The King's Arms

Our correspondent in the last issue of the Link who was unhappy about the state of the King's Arms' surroundings has provoked much debate, with many Kings's Arms' regulars feeling aggrieved. We have let them know that we would be very happy to print any different point of view in the Link.

Correspondence

From P.C. Chris Bolger, Community Beat Officer, Littlemore and Sandford on Thames, to all the residents of Littlemore and Sandford on Thames:

I have now been the Community Beat Officer for a year and a half. I would like to take this opportunity to more fully introduce myself and explain my role within the Oxford Police area of Thames Valley Police. I have been a serving officer with Thames Valley Police for just under 7 years, and in that time I worked at Woodstock, Kidlington and Oxford.

As C.B.O. it is my job to liaise with local businesses, schools, licensed premises etc, as well as with the public in general, in order to gain an appreciation of the problems in the area. In order to do this it is important that people report all crime and other police related problems either to me on 01865-266411, or to the Police Control Room on 01865-266000, or to the Crime Desk on 01865-266333. Please do not be put off by the thought that the police may not be able to do anything. Whilst it might be true that some individual crimes will not be detected due to lack of evidence, they often form part of a pattern in an area.

Offenders are increasingly being identified and caught by identifying these patterns. If people fail to report things then this method breaks down. This is particularly true of auto-crime and burglary. The police continue to be reliant on the public for information towards the detection of crime. I ask you not to be put off from assisting us by fear of repercussions. Such incidents are actually very rare and we have to decide whether we are going to let a small minority of criminals hold us all to ransom in this way.

Part of my role is to provide a visible patrol in the area, as and when other commitments allow. Hopefully I will soon be joined by a second full time office, which will obviously increase our coverage of the area.

I am very keen to promote new Neighbourhood Watch Schemes in the area. No area of Oxford is immune to the problem of burglary and Neighbourhood Watch has proved effective in providing a deterrent. It is by no means a way of asking you to do the police's job for them. It is


- 13 -
[Top] [Index]



simply an organised way of being good neighbours, remaining vigilant and reporting information on suspicious incidents. By forming an organised group it makes it easier for your local officer to provide information on local crime and also give relevant security advice. Years ago communities were closer and less mobile. By trying to recapture this community spirit it makes it easier to identify suspicious strangers and cause them at the very least to go elsewhere.



Mrs Carole Leary, Clerk to the Parish Council, has asked us to print the following letter from John McGuire, South Oxfordshire District Council to all Parish Council Clerks.

Large Scale Voluntary Transfer - Tenant Consultation
The District Council will be embarking upon a major programme of consultation with its tenants during September and August to transfer the ownership and management of its council houses to the newly created South Oxfordshire Housing Association.

There will be a variety of formal meetings and open day/evening events which will be starting on 9 September. The process of consultation will end on 11 October.

About a week before the consultation meetings commence, we will be sending to our tenants a formal consultation document which sets out the terms of the proposal to transfer the stock from the Council to the Association. Tenants will have the opportunity to let the Council have their views on the proposal before the end of the consultation period. Following the consultation period, the Council will need to make a formal decision to go to a full ballot of tenants. We envisage that such a ballot could be held during November. It would be conducted by post through the Independent Electoral Reform Society.

I feel sure that in those areas where the Council has properties, you and your Members will be approached by residents for help, guidance and information on LSVT. This being the case I would be very happy to provide you with a copy of the consultation document and indeed, a copy of the video which we have produced, setting out details of the proposal and what it will mean for the tenants.
