“POT NOODLED!”
27 locals were involved at the Leeds Festival.
Many, many thanks to all the team for their tremendous
hard work and dedication ensuring that our “24 Hour supermarket” operation
was most successful.
Special thanks to the night-shift who had to put up with,
not only me, but the many weary walking merry munchers through the wee
hours.
YES, WE RAN OUT OF POT NOODLES AGAIN!!
A great effort all round………. and so to bed! Cheers
John and Gail
Make use of those spare hours – become a volunteer
Are you sometimes at a loose end? With the odd morning or
afternoon you could spare to help somebody? Then why not join the thousands
of people all over the country who work as volunteers?
Here are some facts and figures to help you think the
matter through:-
Across the UK, volunteers give something like a massive
85 million hours per week in total. That’s a lot of help!
Men and women are equally likely to volunteer to help in
their community. Most are also in paid employment. There has been a large
decrease in volunteers among the unemployed – due, it is believed, to the
reforms in the benefits system. Reasons for volunteering are varied
Older people cite free time as the main. reason. Young
people cite a desire to learn new skills and gain experience. Types of
voluntary work available are incredibly diverse. Women are more likely to
help in schools, social welfare groups and fund-raising.
Men tend to get involved in sports groups and on
committees. Things to consider if you are thinking of
becoming a volunteer:- - are you able to choose the type
of work you do for the organisation?
- can you work flexible hours to suit your other
commitments?
- will any expenses you incur be reimbursed?
- will you get support?
- will you get training?
- what if you don’t like what you are doing?
Remember
- to choose something you really enjoy.
- don’t be afraid to ask for help and support if you need
it.
- make sure the hours and your place of work are
appropriate for you
- obtain a contact name and phone number you can use if
you have problems
The rewards of being a volunteer in different aspects of
your community's life are great. Volunteers are – or should be! - valued
members of any community.
To find out more, contact your local
Volunteer Bureau or ring
The National Centre for Volunteers on 0207 520 8900.
NEWS FROM THE METHODISTS
Dear Friends
At the time of writing, we are eagerly looking forward to
the first of our Methodist led services to be held at All Saints’ on 26th
September. We are deeply grateful to Rev. Hugh Lawrance and Rev. Stanley
Menzies together with members of the PCC meeting, which was held on 24th May
for their very gracious invitation and full support in allowing these united
services to take place.
I know I speak on behalf of the whole Tadcaster Methodist
Circuit by gratefully acknowledging this new and significant step forward in
working together with our Anglican friends for the benefit of the Church,
thus strengthening the Covenant relationship we have entered into.
I am convinced that the Anglican-Methodist Covenant
provides a new and exciting text for our work in village communities. The
covenant can be a catalyst for wider ecumenism.
An effective Christian presence in villages will always
be ecumenical presence.
I would also like to take the opportunity to express our
deepest thanks to Liz Green, our Methodist Lay Worker in Bramham for the
last six years. Sadly Liz’s appointment has now come to an end, but the
stirling work she has done in the Methodist Church and in the wider
community is something we deeply appreciate. The time, commitments and
energy she has put into the appointment will be of lasting benefit. We all
wish her the very best for the future.
Just one word about the service on the 16th, It will take
place at 10.00 am when I will have the privilege of being the appointed
preacher and I will also preside at the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. I
extend a very warm invitation to everyone to join us on this occasion.
Every blessing to you in Christ
Rev. Gary Ridley

Message from Wetherby & District Crime Prevention Panel
Majority of criminals are very professional. They are able to adapt to
any situation to quickly relieve you of your valued possessions.
Bogus Callers are good at it. Answer the caller at the
door ONLY AFTER you have put the chain ON. NOT BEFORE.
Especially if you are not expecting a caller. If you do not have a chain,
look through a window first to see who the caller is. If in doubt don’t open
the door, keep them out. Tell the caller to write making an appointment,
then, arrange for some one to be with you when they call again. The genuine
caller will not mind you doing this. The Bogus Caller usually goes away
because he or she knows how careful you are being.
If you do not have a chain or spy hole for your door
contact the Crime Prevention Panel to see if they are able to help you.
Whilst using that noisy garden mower have you closed and
locked your doors to keep out the unwelcome visitor?
Do you have a working bolt on the inside of your side
gate? Is it positioned so that it CANNOT be reached from the other side?
Good work if you do.
Hedging and Bushes are very pretty in the right place.
Should you let them become overgrown allowing the opportunist thief to be
hidden from view whilst attempting to break in to your home is not so
pretty. It is much wiser to keep them trimmed. They will still look pretty
and be of no use to the opportunist thief.
Have you photographed your jewellery and other valuables?
Have you ‘Post Coded’ your TV, Video Recorded, DVD Player, Car Radio, HI FI,
Mobile Telephone etc? It does help to identify your possessions.
When in the Supermarket do not leave your handbag on top
of the trolley whilst shelf browsing. The opportunist thief loves it when
you do. Especially when you have left it open displaying your cheque book,
credit cards and keys. Never leave handbags open or closed, on top of a
trolley. Should you see a bag open or closed left on a trolley, call the
Store Manager to deal with it. The shopper may not like the embarrassment
but they may not have lost anything either.
Try not to walk around with a purse or wallet in your
hand. One quick nudge and it is gone, again along with your credit cards
etc. If you do not have a bag, try to keep purses or wallets secured in an
inside pocket of a coat. Avoid the hassle of having to replace all these
items by taking great care all of the time.
This may read as doom and gloom but these crimes are
happening everyday in our area. Almost all could be prevented if care is
taken. Please take care all of the time.

BRAMHAM PARISH COUNCIL
At the September meeting, the Council
reviewed the recent Carling Leeds Festival staged at Bramham Park. The
Council had three main concerns over the festival, the disruption to the
village, the maintenance of Law & Order and the noise. The Council was
pleased that West Yorkshire Police again showed their commitment to the
residents with a high profile presence. Within the event itself, there were
only 12 arrests, which was substantially less that in 2003, and there was no
trouble reported in the village. It was generally thought that the noise
heard in the village was slightly louder than last year, but that was
probably due to the strong wind rather than an increased volume at the site.
Councillors were also satisfied that the 11 pm finish time was kept on all
three evenings. Whilst there were reports of some traffic congestion on the
Thursday afternoon, these were some distance from the village, and were not
incompatible with an event hosting 52,500 visitors. Overall, the conclusion
was that with similar safeguards put in place, the Council would support the
event in 2005.
Of course, the village also benefited by
having some 350 residents able to attend at a heavily discounted price, and
will have additional funds available for good causes in the village as a
result of these ticket sales. It is planned for the Bramham Community Fund
to meet in November to discuss the allocation of this year’s grants.
Applications are invited from individuals and organisations wishing to
obtain a grant for projects for the benefit of the community. Full details
are posted on the Parish Notice Board in The Square, and the closing date
for applications will be 31 October. Applications received after this date
cannot be considered.
As the new football season gets under way,
the Council extends its best wishes to the recently re-formed Bramham
Football Club, who will be playing on the Freely Lane Playing Field this
year. At the same time, the Council has considered those dog owners in the
village who exercise their pets on the field. The Council is reluctant to
impose hard and fast rules but is mindful of the need to maintain health and
safety of players using the field, and hopes that common sense will prevail.
This suggests that dogs should continue to be allowed to use the field, but
that owners should try and avoid them using the football pitch itself. Of
course it is a requirement that owners must clear up any waste left by their
pets, and the Council is looking into whether a dog waste bin can be
provided in the vicinity. However, it should be pointed out that dogs are
totally forbidden from the children’s playground area.
Crime in the village has decreased over
the year, but perhaps could be less if residents were more vigilant. For
example, the one burglary in the last couple of months happened where a
front door had been left open at 5.30 pm.

ST LUKE’S CLIFFORD
St Luke's Calendar
St Luke's has produced a calendar for 2005 showing views of the church
but mainly focussing on the wildflowers found in the conservation area.
There are some stunning images taken for us by Paul
Heaton, a local photographer with a growing reputation for his landscapes
and close-up nature photography.
The calendars would make ideal gifts and are available in
three formats: there are two large versions and one small desktop version.
The large calendars are competitively priced at £6:00 whilst the smaller one
is £3:00
Display copies can be seen in St Luke's church and I am
happy to show anyone who is interested. I can be contacted on 843575.
St Francis Service
3 October is the St Luke's Harvest Festival at 11:00.
This will be followed by a Harvest Lunch to which everyone is welcome.
Tickets are £2:50 and are available from me or from Father Hugh.
At 3:30 on the same day, there will be a short St Francis
service devised by the children's group. People are welcome to bring their
animals - so long as they are not too vicious and not inclined to savage the
smaller attendees - for a blessing . This will round
off a day of celebration for the bounty of the earth.

St Luke the Evangelist
St Luke, a gentile, we owe the beautifully written Gospel
of Luke, and the Book of Acts. He was a Greek physician, a disciple of St
Paul, a companion on some of his missionary journeys, and an inspired
writer.
Luke's gospel focuses on the compassion of Christ. His
gospel contains some of the most moving parables, such as the Good Samaritan
and Prodigal Son. This, with his emphasis on poverty, prayer and purity of
heart, make up much of his appeal to the Gentles, for whom he wrote.
Women figure more prominently in Luke's gospel than any
other: look out for the extended story of the Virgin Birth, and stories of
Mary, Elizabeth, and the woman who was a sinner.
In Acts, Luke is remarkably good as linking sacred and
profane history, as subsequent archaeology has shown. A principal theme of
his Acts is the how the early Christian moved away from Jerusalem into the
pagan world, and especially on to Rome.
Luke is the patron saint of doctors, surgeons and artists
(due to his picturesque style of writing). His symbol is an ox, sometimes
explained by reference to the sacrifice in the Temple at the beginning of
his Gospel. In England 28 ancient churches were dedicated to him.
ARTICLES FOR THIS MAGAZINE
It would be extremely helpful if items for publication in
Bramham Parish Magazine could be submitted on the due date i.e. 15th of each
month, otherwise I cannot always guarantee they will appear.
I have to comply with a deadline provided by A1 Press,
Wetherby, who print the magazines, in order to have them ready for delivery
on the lst of the month. In addition a date has to be booked for the
stapling and delivery to the deliverers.
So you will appreciate if the receipt date for articles is not adhered to, this affects the other
agreed dates for printing, stapling and delivery and so makes life
unnecessarily difficult and stressful for our willing volunteers.
In an emergency I have been known to be lenient, but
unfortunately it is the same people who are regularly late every month and
so hold up the production. Please, please try and do better!!!
