SKATE PARK FOR BENWICK?

Villagers may have been visited by a Jack Thompson and friends with a petition to get a Skate Park in the village.

“The Children of Benwick are trying to get signatures to encourage the Council to provide us with a skate park” Jack said on one of the Benwick Facebook groups. “There are around 40 of us who would use the skate park”

The discussion on Facebook has a great deal of support from residents, who would like to see more facilities for the younger villagers. The proposals include creating a skate park at the bottom of the Play Park on the High Street.

Back in the May/June 2012 edition of the Benwick Bugle, former Chairman of the Parish Council, Cllr Tony Richardson stated that a new skate park for the village was one of the initiatives the Parish Council were looking into. It was reported that the Council were looking at us-ing the public open space on Fields View for the project.

At the March 2013 Parish Council meeting, Fenland District

Councillor Alex Miscandlon said “If Benwick wish to obtain a skate park, it requires from the Parish Council a letter to the Leader of Fenland with a full business plan and costs for a skate park.”

It is expected that a number of young residents will attend the July 2nd Parish Council meeting to present the petition.

GROW YOUR OWN?

If you have ever thought of trying to grow your own then now is your opportunity. Nationally there are over 100,000 people on waiting lists for an allotment but Benwick residents are in the fortunate position to have two plots currently vacant.

The Benwick Allotments, known as September Gardens, are on Whittlesey Road, behind the Cem-etery.

Growing your own has a number of benefits, the number one of which is saving money. A poll by LV= found that allotment owners claimed they save an average of £950 per year through home growing. A full allot-ment in Benwick is a bargain at £25 per year.

Other top reasons included to ensure food was organic, and teaching children about food production.

So, what will it be? Will you be growing carrots or cucumbers? Peas or Parsnips? Get in touch with the Parish Clerk to secure an allotment now! •

THE BENWICK BUTTERFLIES

by Mandy Lacey

We recently held our first ever Dads morning which was a great success. We all had a fun morning planting plants for our outdoor area and making bird feeders. Thank you to all the Dads and Grandads who were able to join us.

A big thank you to Deflands for helping us out with the cost of our plants.

We have now purchased our Nabi tablets that we have been fundraising for over the past few months and they are already being enjoyed by the children. We have also recently raised £41.50 from our cake stall at the Bridges, Boats and Bikes afternoon and £43.00 from our Smartie tubes fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who has supported us.

We will be holding our annual open morning on Thursday 11th of July. If you have children coming up to pre-school age it’s a great opportunity to come along and see us in action. For more information please contact us on 677733. •

In August two of our Scouts (Chris Beevor and Luca Fiore) will be hiking the Scout Trail from Brownsea Island (where Baden-Powell held the very first Scout camp) to the national Scout HQ at Gilwell Park, near Epping. This is 220 miles to be covered in 2 weeks, mostly hiking along the South Downs. Adding the heights of all the hills they will be going up, they will ascend the equivalent of two-thirds the altitude of Everest. Quite an achievement for their age! The expedition is being organised by the leaders of 2nd March Scout troop.

Chris Beevor is seeking sponsorship for completing the expedition. Half the money raised will go to The Association of Young People with

ME (AYME). This is a charity that provides support for young people suffering from Myalgic Encephalopathy; a condition that affects Chris’ older sister.

Chris wishes the other half of the money raised to go to support the 1st Benwick Scout Group. As Group Scout Leader, I am both delighted by and extremely grateful for his generosity and selflessness. If any

In May the Beavers had a trip to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. They all had had a great time clambering over the exhibits (where possible).On 22nd June the Scouts went whitewater canoeing at Cardington Park, near Bedford. Everyone had a great day out. All the Scouts got extremely wet, but came home

asking me to book them in for next year’s event. We are still seeking dynamic and enthusiastic people to be Group Chairman, a Treasurer and leaders to help with Scouts.

Every the Scout Association helps 400,000 young people in the UK enjoy new adventures; to experience the outdoors; interact with others, gain confidence and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Scouting is about doing great things, loving and enjoying the great adventures and helping others to do

the same. So what are you waiting for? Join the adventure today and make a difference! •

SCARECROW COMPETITION

Part of the June celebrations included a scarecrow competition, themed on Bridges, Boats and Bikes.

There were four entries and the winner was Marie Andrew. The competition was organised by Janet Fountain and Lyn Keppel-Spoor, who both organised the Scarecrow Competition for the Jubilee.

Cllr Keppel-Spoor said “it would be great if a scarecrow competition could become an annual village event.”

It is hoped that as the competition continues, more people will enter. •

FORGET-ME-NOTSby Janet Fountain

Sixty members & friends attended our Birthday party in May. The meal was a ploughman’s supper followed by fruit pies and cream. Tom Kennedy entertained us with his easy listening voice and we all joined in with a singalong.

The weather was kind to us for the coach trip to Bury St. Edmunds on Wednesday 22nd May. Members enjoyed the shops, the market and especially the Abbey Gardens which were ablaze with colour despite the late spring.

We were low in numbers for the visit to Turville but after a late start it was an excellent day out – a very picturesque village with the windmill on the hill (the home of Caracatus Potts in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang) overlooking the village and the cottages of Mr. Tom (Goodnight Mr. Tom) and the Vicar of Dibley near to the Church.

After lunch at the local public house ‘The Bull and Butcher’ we travelled to Henley on Thames for afternoon tea by the river. Unfortunately our planned speaker

for the June meeting was ill but has rearranged for next March. However, William Lloyd, a young pianist from Warboys filled the gap and provided us with a most enjoyable evening. Forthcoming Events are:-

Wednesday, 3rd JulyOuting to Caithness Crystal and Hunstanton, depart Benwick at 9.30am. Thursday, 4th JulyMonthly meeting is a cheese and wine evening with a quiz. The competition is any item beginning with the letter Q. Wednesday, 31st JulyOuting to ‘Downton Abbey’, depart Benwick at 8.00am. Thursday, 1st AugustMonthly meeting when the speaker is Chris Donaldson from Air Ambulance. The competition is any item beginning with the letter R. Wednesday, 7th AugustTea Dance in the Village Hall 2.00pm to 4.00pm. Admission £4 including a cream tea. We welcome new members and our outings are open to all, so if you would like to come along please call me on 01354 677228.•

‘RITINGS FROM THE RECTORY

Rev Kevin Fitzgibbon

Do nothing to change your lifeWe are now in the holiday season and those of us who are fortunate may be able to go away for a relaxing break and time of refreshment from our busy lives. I well remember us being told a few decades ago that new technology would free us all to have more leisure time and that the computer age would mean that we could achieve all we needed to accomplish by doing less. Well so much for futurology!

It rather seems that new technology has chained us all up to our devises such that we are always feeling the need to check our emails and messages on our phones and respond immediately. Our tech now comes everywhere with us and so we are never off duty.

I met up with my son for a Saturday activity recently and he seemed ill at ease, the reason being, he had accidentally come out without his phone.

Whether we can go away or not, it

really is important that we all make sure we take time out on a regular basis to relax and unwind. A few years ago I had major heart surgery and needed to take 3 months off work to recover. My wife bought me a book entitled ‘Do nothing to change your life’. It is about how we all need to learn to resist the relentless pressure to hit the ground running and subversively learn to not feel bad about doing nothing. I have to say I hated it and when I finished was sorely tempted to throw it across the room.

Some of us are temperamentally disposed to being activists and feel the need to be continually doing something. Others are more able to be more reflective and to be still, we might call this being more contem-plative. These are words that the Christian faith has always known, for example where Martha frets about getting the dinner and her sister Mary sits at the feet of Jesus and listens to his teaching.

In faith as in life we all need to learn that being is as important as doing, after all we are in fact human beings and not human doings.

The Bible reminds us that even God took a day off at the end of creating the universe and instructed us that each week we should do the same. •

The judging day for the Anglia in Bloom competition is Tuesday 9th July at 10am. Planting is almost complete, and Lofty’s hanging baskets at the Five Alls are almost ready to go up!

We had a small set back when two tubs were stolen on Doddington Road, and several plants were uprooted from displays in June. Some residents have installed CCTV to keep an eye on things, and if you know anything about the theft and vandalism, please alert the police.

The Community Payback Team will be doing a village litter pick prior to the judging, and the Parish Council have offered to give the Bus Shelter a good clean. •

BENWICK HEALTHby Whittlesey Osteopaths

Why is it called sciatica? Well, quite simply it’s the sciatic nerve that is the problem.

The nerve comes from the lower back and runs deep to the buttock muscles, before sheltering under the hamstring muscle as it passes down the back of the thigh.

At the back of the knee, it branches into two and runs down the outside and back of the leg respectively. It ends in the foot.

The sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve in the body, measuring up too 2cm in diameter in some people (i.e. ap-proximately the size of a small drinking bottle lid!).

The path outlined (and shown on the diagram) maybe familiar to those whom have suffered with sciatic pain. When the nerve is irritated it can be felt in any combination of these areas. Ultimately, it is the distribution of the leg pain which distinguishes sciatica from other forms of back pain.

So where can the sciatic nerve irritated? Well here’s the interesting bit, sciatica can be due to a:

a) damaged disc in the lower back,b) facet joint in the lower back, orc) spasm of a particular buttock muscle called piriformis.

Therefore, the leg pain originates from the lower back or buttocks. Commonly, the leg pain will be worse than the back pain.

As osteopaths, our main aim is to identify the cause of the irritation, use various techniques to release the pressure on the nerve and provide management advice on how to help recovery as well as what not to do. •

Benwick’s new bridge over the River Nene was officially opened with a grand community event.

The new steel support bridge, which replaced an oak structure from the early 1800s, was opened amid a festival atmosphere of barbecue and family games.

The bridge was replaced at a cost of £197,000 and was opened by Cam-bridgeshire County councillor John Clarke, joined by Benwick parish councillors.

Vice chairman Tony Richardson said the day was a well supported com-munity event with refreshments, games and duck race.

He said the structure used to be the only bridge to Benwick over the Old Nene when it was first built so was an important access. Nowadays, however, it is mainly used by walk-ers or people going to the cemetery.

“Last year Benwick turned out in force for the Queen’s Jubilee and we though this was an ideal opportu-nity to recreate a community event

OPENING OF THE NEW BRIDGE

Courtesy of the Cambs Times

for the village,” he said.

Joining the official opening were members of the Middle Level Wa-terman’s Club who were involved in the bridge project.

Also involved were a large number of Benwick’s organisations including scouts, cubs & beavers, Friend’s of Benwick School, Friends of Benwick Church, Sports Committee, Forget me not’s (over 60’s), Butterflies pre school, Benwick Residents Associa-tion, Village Hall Committee, Five All’s Public House and the parish council.

The day tied in with the anniversary of the opening of the Benwick bridge mooring and attracted a number of boats to the riverside. •

Continuing our look into the past of Benwick’s Inns, this month we look at the one that remains; the Five Alls.

The Five Alls was the modern of the Benwick Inns, which until 1957 was just a beer house. In the 1880’s the landlord was Jabez Barnes, following that it was Tom Guy.

Originally it only had a tap room, which was half the area of the present bar. The pub was owned by a number of different breweries before becoming a free house in 1975.

In 1936 Charles (Cyril) and Ethel Chaplin became the landlord and lady. When they took over a sign on the outside of the pub advertised bottles of ale and stout for 2/6d per dozen, a pint of Bitter for 2d and pint of Mild 1d.

During the second world war, the front room became a Smoke Room. A serving hatach was knocked through from the cellar (which is now the back bar area), into the Smoke Room. In 1957 Watneys Brewery undertook major alterations, including making the Tap and Smoke rooms into one large bar.

Cyril and Ethel left the pub in 1975, when Tom and Jen Granger took over. Tom and Gen ran the pub until 1999, followed by Dennis and Cath White (to 2006), Gina Tickner (-2011), Becky and Gareth Champ (- 2013) and now our landlord is Lofty. •

The aim is to raise money so that a group of year 4 and 5 pupils can take part in the Voice in a Million concert at Wembley Arena in March 2014.

This is an amazing opporunity for the children, but they need to raise funds for the entance fee, t-shirts and train fares to London.
