ISSUE NO. 1/81 JANUARY, 1981 E D I T O R I A L A Happy New Year to one and all. About a week before Christmas I was reading an article in the Sunday Times Magazine about a family of four, Father, Mother, Son 21 and Daughter 20. The parents, as reported, had done all the usual things we parents do for our children in their growing years, joined in all activities, Cubs, Brownies, on to Scouts & Guides, P.T.A. and School activities then on to older pursuits, generally running here and there and enjoying it all, only to find to their horror as the two children grew older they had changed and got caught up with people a lot older, some with criminal records. A fear we as parents do have, that as the children go farther afield they may get mixed up with the wrong type. In the case in point, things got so bad that the parents sold their house, split the proceeds and bought themselves a small flat and a small house for the two children to get on with their own lives. The comment from the girl at the end of the account was 11 I think it should be compulsory for all parents to leave home, or at lease buy their kids their own little place. It's the perfect thing to do for everyone concerned. 11 I was so angry at this, perhaps it was a slanted story, but I was angry because so often now it seems everyone is owed something. Where is the independent spirit and the get up and go now. How can you get across the marvellous feeling of having achieved something, when you have done it all yourself. Are we to blame a little now in the way we do run around with and for our children? My maxim up to now having been "they grow up in spite of you rather than because of you" seems to be true, but has Lady Luck anything to do with it? - 1 - Dear Parishioners, My New Year's resolution is that I am going to give up moaning, or at least attempt to do so. By moaning I mean that kind of meandering grumbling about life which can so easily become quite meaningless and destructive, always seeing bad in everything. However, as at the time of writing we are still two weeks away from 1981, I am going to have a good moan now in order to try to get it out of my system. So here goes : 1. A good proportion of toys in shops appear to be an absolute 'rip-off' - especially so-called 1 stocking-fillers 1 i.e. items costing between Sop and El that really are nothing and do nothing and fall apart when touched. And what about those games that cost pounds but in fact consist of nothing but a piece of cardboard (the 'board') and a few bits of plastic ('the pieces')? 2. I wanted to take a group of 13 year old boys to the cinema the other day. I had to choose between Monster(X), Quadrophenia(X), Scum(X), Monster, again, Kentucky Fried Movy(X), Adventures of a Taxi Driver(X), The Master of the Flying Guillotine(X), Kentucky Fried Movy, again, Adventures of a Taxi Driver, again Midnight Express(X), Taxi Driver, again, Kentucky ... again, Taxi ... again, Mons ... again, Quadrophenia and Scum again, When a Stranger Calls(AA) - also on at two local cinemas, Annie Hall(AA) etc. How infuriating and absurd. NOT ONE film in any way suitable for younger teenagers, let alone children and, as well as that, over and again the same films on at different local cinemas. Do those responsible for running cinemas lack both families and imagination? 3. The current erosion or destruction of many of the best things about this country - for example: the National Health Service, jobs, our overseas aid programme. As far as the latter is concerned we are shamefully lagging behind other Western governments and compare favourably only with the Communist governments. Apart from the practical effect on poverty-bound countries and people, it makes us look morally bankrupt in the eyes of the world. - 2 - 4. The fact that Vicars are not meant to write about politics in parish magazines. 5. Double yellow lines. 6. The cost of wine in this country as compared with its cost in France. Most unfair. 7. Summers are not as warm as they were when I was a child. But, I know that the best way to cure moaning is to start thinking about all there is to be happy and glad about. So here goes on that too: 1. The extremely high quality of the production and editing of this parish magazine: those who visit the parish and happen to see a copy of the magazine frequently comment on its appearance and local news value. Our thanks to Charles Cody and Marion Hellmuth for the heavy monthly task of producing this magazine. 2. The high quality also of the local press: we are extraordinarily well served by local reporters. Also,for that matter,the quality of the national press - its variety, news coverage, and enjoyment-value are, in my view, outstanding. 3. The glory, beauty, and variety of Church worship in this country. 4. Dorney Common and the sunsets that it enables one to see. 5. Joan Baez singing Bob Dylan songs (I am a child of the 60's. ) 6. Love. 7. Dentists don't hurt any more. - 3 - 8. Good books - especially those by Iris Murdoch. Have you read 'The Sea, The Sea 1 ? It's fantastic reading. 9. The fact that Dorney players are swinging back into action with an electrifying production: see elsewhere in this magazine. In fact one could go on for a long time on this second list. I do not think that my New Year's resolution will be very difficult to keep. Which is why I chose it. With best wishes, Paul Hawkins.

Mr. Coleman gave us many useful tips and we all discovered we were making mistakes in the way we care for our plants - particularly by being too generous with the watering can. Also, talking to plants is no old wives' tale because the carbon dioxide we expel by breathing over them is necessary to their well being. Margaret Perryman gave the vote of thanks. The Raffle was won by Norah Wood. We were given several useful leaflets which I'm sure will be studied diligently. Our next meeting is a Coffee Evening and Bring and Buy Sale at Iris Tarrant's House, 8 Old Marsh Lane on 7th January. On January 25th, Miss Lois Hibbard will give a talk on 11 Ladies 1 Hats through the Ages". Those of us who attended her talk on 1 1 Ladies' Costume through the Ages" 2 years ago will not wish to miss this one. Lois Parker Secretary - 9 - THE PARISH PUMP December Meeting of the Parish Council Tree Planting The Thames Water Authority and Eton College who are the landowners beside Climo Cottages are to be consulted concerning tree planting. Interest in the matter of tree planting had been shown by a member of the Parish who will be contacted by the Parish Council. Mud on the Roads After the last harvesting of maize in the village owing to the wet weather the road from Climes Corner down through Dorney Village became treacherous and it has now been resolved that the Police will endeavour to provide Slow signs in the event of muddy roads and the contractors will improve their road sweeping operation. Finance The annual finance meeting has been held and it has been agreed that The Parish Council will be able to keep the precept to l. 5p(it has been l. 3p this year) which considering inflation is pretty reasonable. - 10 - The Clerk's Salary & Expenses The Clerk's Salary and Expenses have been reviewed and a salary increase has been awarded in accordance with the recommendations of the National Association of Parish Councils.

Bus Services As mentioned in a previous edition the parish council are concerned about the reduced bus services and are willing to put people in need of transport in touch with car owners. One person has so far been helped so please let us know if you need transport. Footpaths A confirming order about diversions to footpaths 3,4 & 9 has been issued. Container Programme - January-March 1981 Usual sites. 2nd February - 9th February 9th February - 16th February. It would be appreciated very much if the containers are not filled to overflowing or bags of rubbish left lying by the containers, but to wait for the return of an empty container. Unfortunately the contractors who remove the skips are not duty bound to pick up the surrounding rubbish. Village Hall Sign It has been requested that a sign be put up at the entrance to the lane leading to the village hall and it has been suggested that the name 'Village Hall' be clearly patnted vertically down the gate post. The matter will be considered by the village hall management committee. - 13 - The County Association of Local Councils have decided on a redistribution of county councillors with the result that the South Bucks Ward will have seven councillors rather than the present ten councillors. Dorney will be in a ward which include Taplow, Burnham Church and Burnham Lent Rise. The next meeting will be on the 15th January, 1981. ••* *************************************************************•• • • !

DORNEY BROWNIE GUIDES The Brownies suggested that we held a Bring and Buy Sale for the Blue Peter Appeal as our good turn for this year. For those readers who like me are unable to watch T.V. at tea time! 'Blue Peter\ the children's T.V. programme,is raising money for the disabled this year. They have a target of £500,000 to provide bungalows, electric cars for disabled people and incubators for newborn babies. We held the sale on our Pack night, everyone being busy on Saturdays, and in one hour raised £57. all of which has been sent to the Appeal. our thanks to all the parents and local residents who came and supported us. Early in the month five Brownies helped prepare afternoon tea for 160 people, Scouts and their families attending a Chief Scout Award Ceremony. They worked very hard and earned commendation for their efforts and their smart appearance, well done Andrea, Victoria, Anna, Johanna, and Sandra. The last meeting of the year is a party to which we have invited the 3rd. Burnham Pack, some of whom we've met before on Pack Holiday. Brownie Meetings start again on January 8th when we will be welcoming five new recruits.

ISSUE NO. 2/81 FEBRUARY, 1981 E D I T O R I A L We all know the story of how Sir Isaac Newton, alone one day in his orchard, made his great 'discovery'. Whilst up a ladder, picking apples from the very top of a tree, a bank-note slipped from his pocket and although he was not in the least surprised when it came to rest on the grass below, for the first time in his life he questioned why it should do so, rather than simply progressing sideways or ascending into the heavens. 'Eureka', he thought, but of course did not say it, for fear that someone in the adjoining vegetable patch should think him Greek. No, although his finding was momentous, his English reserve dampened his possible Archimedean exultation and forced him to treat this inspired revelation with, and as, gravity. I recount this history to mark the announcement that the £1 note is to be replaced by a coin, for in 1977, 250 years after Sir Isaac's death, his perceptive observation of a falling£ was commemorated by inscribing his image on the reverse side of the then new smaller £1 bank-note. This was but a few years after decimalisation, an event which had drastically devalued the pound overnight and launched inflation upon its spiralling flight. The reduced size of the new note reflected its reduced value, a value that has continued to depreciate rapidly in latter years, until cynics proffer a law unknown to Newton: 'that a bank-note let fall from an apple tree, is worth less by the time it reaches the ground' . In the past week, newspapers have been filled with tales of the diminishing pound sterling, comparing its purchasing power now with that of twenty-five or fifty years ago; reminding me of my father's reminiscences of a seat at the opera, dinner at the Cafe Royal, a good cigar and a 'hansom' home and apparently still finding change from a half-sovereign! A letter published in The Times suggests that the £1 note is retained, but that it should be smaller and be gummed on one side, ready to take its place as a first class postage stamp in the not too distant future. I now feel some apprehension for the survival of the notes of higher denomination. Perhaps in ten years time when the 'fiver' is phased out, I can retell why that particular note bears the majestic features of The Duke of Wellington. - 1 - Dear Parishioners, Carol Singing A splendidly large group of adults, teenagers, and children joined in the carol singing around the parish one evening just before Christmas: that, and the mild weather, enabled us to collect E68 to be distributed between the Slough branch of the National Society for Mentally Handicapped Children (Mencap) , and the Bucks and Berks Associations for the Blind. Our thanks to those who sang, collected, listened, and gave. A Celebration The Parochial Church Council feels that the recent work on the Church roof, with all the local effort and giving that that required, ought to be marked or celebrated in some way. To this end, a special service of thanksgiving will be held on Friday May 1st at 8 p.m.: it will be Evensong and the Archdeacon of Buckingham will be the preacher. After the service there will be a party in the Village Hall. Everybody is invited to both or either part of this evening of celebration - so many people in the parish helped in many different ways towards the maintenance of our twelfth century Church. May 1st is also our "patronal festival", i. e. the day of Dorney Church's patron saint, St. James the Less (one of the twelve apostles) , so we will of course not only be celebrating the preservation of the Church building but also, and more importantly, be thanking God for all Church life and Christian activity and faith in Dorney, an activity and faith that probably stretches back at least to the ninth and eighth centuries. Another advance date for May: on the Sunday morning of the 31st the bishop will be coming to do a Confirmation at Dorney. Please let me know soon if you wish to be confirmed. The 11 moonies 11 You may have read in the local press about the activities of the 11 moonies" (the "Unification Church") in this area and more - 2 - particularly of one Dorney family' s experience of them. It has been suggested to me that I should write something about them in this magazine. Up until now I have known very little about the moonies, apart from what I have seen on T.V. programmes and read in the press about young people disappearing and being kept hidden from their families etc. As a result of their presence in this area I have now read a pamphlet about them issued by the Youth Unit of the British Council of Churches. If anybody would like to borrow a copy, please let me know: it is a dispassionate and objective account of Unification Church belief and practice. (Incidentally, they use about 30 different names for themselves in the U. K. alone, ranging from the Unification Church to Kensington Garden Arts Society!!) I think what emerges is that 1) they are NOT a Christian Church, although they masquerade as one, 2) many of their beliefs are both weird and sinister, e. g. the words of their founder, Sun Myung Moon: "I am your brain. When you join the effort with me you can do everything in utter obedience to me.11 3) They 00 cut off young people from their families - one of their beliefs is that non-moonie families are "impure". However, to look at the positive side, may groups like the moonies be a reminder to the Christian Churches of the desire of young people to seek God in their lives, and therefore of our need to bring Christian faith to them in a lively and loving way. The Eton-llorney Project is going to the dogs ..... Yes, on Thursday March 12th we are having a sponsored evening at Slough Greyhound Racetrack in aid of the Project. Come and enjoy yourself and, in doing so, help the Project! The first race is at 7.30 p.m., the doors opening at 6.30 p. m.

Mrs. Allen, the secretary, read the record of the December meeting, which was duly agreed and signed. Mrs. Sharphouse thanked all the members who had helped with the Christmas meeting and thought that it had been very enjoyable. Letters of thanks were read from the visitors to that meeting.

A few members unable to be present sent apologies for absence. Miss Lois Hibbard gave a most interesting and lively talk on "Women's Hats through the Ages", from Saxon times to the turn of this century. She brought a good selection of head gear with her and chose a member to demonstrate each hat with its accompanying accessories, many of which were bona fide originals. This was done to gales of laughter as the sight of ourselves in Norman wimple, 12th century crespinettes, 14th century butterfly head-dress, Georgian wig, poke bonnet and Nellie Wallace type boa, to mention a few, had to be seen to be believed. Halwen Powell gave the vote of thanks and Ada Chase won the raffle. Our next event on Wednesday 25th February will be a visit to Windsor Theatre to see "The Business of Murder". Tickets are £3.75.

In what way I wanted to know in some surprise. "Well", said my son, "we wish we had somewhere we could meet in an evening, to have a chat and to be out of the way". There are about 20 or so youngsters just now between the ages of 16 and 18, quite a gang of giggling youngsters, and quite a noisy nuisance if they happen to meet near your home. This set me wondering what could be done. It is a perennial problem because there is always a group of growing boys and girls, maybe mine now but some of yours later maybe, and really we are short of a meeting place here for them, except of course unless they meet in a Pub, where they should not be. Quite honestly I do not know the answer, because 11 to meet and chat" may be O.K. for a start and could be done with supervision, but I doubt if they want supervision, feeling it restricting. Has anyone an idea to offer? - 1 - Dear Parishioners, Year for the Disabled 1981 has been designated International Year for the Disabled by the United Nations. We have planned, as our contribution towards this, a series of simple "bread and cheese" lunches in aid of the Queen Elizabeth' s Foundation for the Disabled, a charity that has four centres for the disabled: at Banstead in Surrey they have a residential centre for the assessment, further education, and placing of handicapped school-leavers; at Leatherhead there is a residential College for disabled men and women offering prevocational assessment, a wide range of vocational training courses and work experience; also at Leatherhead is a purpose built workshop and accommodation for 43 residents, and 12 non-resident workers for whom nonnal employment, though an objective, is inappropriate at the time; at Westcliff-on-sea, Essex, is a specially equipped holiday and convalescent home on the sea-front for severely paralysed men and women. Our particular link with this Foundation, which is supported entirely by charitable giving, is that our former assistant Warden at the Project, Bridget Middlemas, now teaches at the centre in Banstead. I do hope that those of you who are at home during the day will come and join in as many of these lunches as possible. They are all on Wednesdays between 12. 30 and 2 p. m. on the following dates: March 4th: at the Vicarage March 11th: The Chauntry, Lake End Road (Mrs. Robb) March 18th: 25 Meadow Way (Mrs. Allen) March 25th: 46 Harcourt Road (Mrs. Hayton) April 1st: 1 Harcourt Road (Mrs. Breslin) April 8th: 56 Harcourt Road (Mrs. Weeks) - 2 - The New Prayer Book The publication towards the end of last year of the Church of England's new Prayer Book - called the Alternative Service Book (ASB) - has been described as the greatest publishing event in the Church of England for 300 years, being the first fully authorised service book issued since the Book of Common Prayer in 1662. The ASB is not a replacement for the Prayer Book but a modern counterpart. It is the consolidated result of some fifteen years thought and practice in the Church of England. The ASB is both radical and conservative: it is radical in demonstrating that worship in the Church does not have to be tied to the language and assumptions of the seventeenth century; it is conservative in that it of course gives expression to the traditional and living Christian faith. Up to ten or fifteen years ago a large proportion of English families owned their own Prayer Books, given at Christenings and Confirmations, or just bought as something that no home should be without. That situation has changed as the Church has begun to revise its services, but hopefully the ASB will again fill that role for it is a book to own as well as a book to be provided by churches: a book to take to church, to use at home, to give as a present: a book that will renew the link between public worship and personal devotion. Within the next few months it will come into use in Dorney Church at the Parish Communion, although the service from it that we will be using is in fact almost identical to the form that we have been using for the last five or six years. Because of the financial effort that was put into the Church roof, and because of our wish to keep up our giving to charity etc. , the Church Council rightly feels that it cannot itself afford to stock the Church with the ASB. But the plan is to buy enough for use in the Church and invite members of the parish to give copies in memory of people or events, which will be inscribed inside the front cover e. g. in memory of weddings, - 3 - Christenings etc. The publishers will be giving us a 20% discount: we will be buying extra copies to enable parishioners, if they wish,to buy copies to have at home. The discount means that each copy will cost £3.60 rather than £4.50. If you wish either to buy a copy for your pers onal use, or for the Church, please let me know. With best wishes, Paul Hawkins.

ISSUE NO. 4/81 APRIL, 1981 E D I T O R I A L My recent attendance at the Annual General Meeting of the Dorney Parish Council confirmed my respect for that dedicated body and my amazement that these public spirited councillors are willing, despite the occasional criticism and the apparent apathy of their electorate, to serve us so well and with such constancy. I am very conscious of the fact that I am as critical as anyone in the Parish, for whenever I communicate with the Council it is to make sure that they are doing, or intend to do, something that I think should be done, and never to say how well I consider they have handled a particular issue or to thank them for maintaining Dorney's position within the County framework. My apathy was made evident at the annual meeting, when calls for volunteers to implement certain proposals guaranteed my silence. Although I am quite good at suggesting what others should do, I excuse myself from the actual doing, in the knowledge that I have neither the ability nor the inclination for practical committee service. The mere idea that someone would actually volunteer to serve on a committee fills me with awe and admiration for that individual' s sense of duty; for one or two hours in committee can dampen the enthusiasm of the most dynamic doer. It is this realisation of the time necessarily spent in debate and deliberation that heightens my regard for the members of the Parish Council whilst increasing my embarrassment in asking them to carry on representing my interests when I but offer encouragement rather than tangible assistance. - 1 - Dear Parishioners, Easter Celebration Jesus of Nazareth gave up everything, his home, his work, his family, his security, his life, and even his feeling of being close to God, in order to say what needed to be said and in order to carry love and forgiveness to the limit. Foxes have holes and birds of the air their nests, but this man had nowhere to lay his head; his family were all those who, like him, placed their trust in God; he left his carp􀇽ntry for the insecure life of a wandering teacher; in refusing to escape from execution he shared in man's most painful experience, that of feeling completely lonely and that everything is pointless - "My C'􀂨d, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He did himself what he taught others to do: he gave up everything for the benefit of others. Out of that came the experience of Resurrection. Those who follow the way of Christ tell us what Resurrection is. When we give up worrying, we discover there was really nothing to worry about; when we give up being anxious, we discover how much there is to be happy about; when we give up regretting the past, we discover the pleasure of the present; when we give up trying to accumulate wealth for ourselves, we discover that we in fact have all that we need; when we give up judging and criticising other people, we discover reconciliation and friendship; when we give up wanting things we have not got, we discover the richness of what we already have. All these things, peace, joy, love, accepting and enjoying all that God gives us, are Resurrection. But first there has to be a "giving up", a death of all that stops us being part of Resurrection, a breaking down of anxiety, fear, greed, and pride, to allow in peace, faith, joy, and love. Week by week Christians share bread and wine in memory of Jesus' death and resurrection not only as a way of opening up to God's love and forgiveness, but also to remind themselves of the need - 2 - to follow Christ's way if we are to find resurrection - new life - and if we are to know God. While we are wrapped up in ourselves, our minds filled to the brim with our needs and wants and worries, it is no wonder that it is difficult for us to find God. But once we let go and open up, then the light breaks in. Easter is the high point of the Christian year great Celebration of the joy and life of God. most of this Easter Celebration. With best wishes, Paul Hawkins. because it is the L et us make the Dates and times of the Easter services are on following pages.

The Parish Precept had been held at l.5p. but it was thought that this would have to rise during 1982. The Best Kept Village Competition The gene􀇾al opinion of those at the A.G.M. was that the Parish should enter the Best Kept Village Competition this year as a Parish and not as two separate units as had sometimes been done in the past. Discussion took place about the amount of horse-riding on the grass verges in the parish. It was noted that they are prohibited from riding on the pavements and it was suggested that horses should be on the highway. An offer was made by Mr. Woolner to set up a voluntary working party to survey the trees in the parish and make a note of those which need felling and then for possible discussions to take place with local landowners to see if they required help in felling. Anyone who is interested in helping to contact Mr. woolner - Maidenhead 27763. The Recreation Ground It was considered necessary to talk about the future of the playground and whether it was being used sufficiently for the apparatus to be replaced when it was worn out. There were divided opinions about it and it was decided to take the matter back to the Parish Council meetings. Road Safety Meetings These meetings are held once every two months at 7.45 p. m. before the Parish Council Meeting and anyone in the Parish is very welcome to attend to listen or bring along any problems - 8 - • or ideas they may have. The next meeting will be on the 12th May in the annex of the Village Hall at 7 .45 p.m. The Seddings Charity Rev. P. Hawkins informed the meeting that the sum of E31.SO was given to needy widows in the village at Christmas. Royal Wedding Celebrations There was general agreement that the village should have celebrations for the children and the adults on the 29th July and that these should take place in the late afternoon and evening. Sports, street parties, roasting an ox and having a barrel organ at the Palmer Arms, a bonfire, fireworks, a dance in the village hall had been suggested and if anyone has a good idea or would like to be an organiser please get in touch with a member of the Parish Council. Dorney Court Peregrine Palmer told the meeting about the plans for opening Dorney Court. It will be open every Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Bank Holiday Mondays from 2-5.30 commencing the week after Easter until the end of September.

WHIST DRIVES Village Hall - 8 p.m. 10th April 15th May 29th May All welcome. - 12 - • DORNEY PL AYER'S PRODUCTION - "A HOME FOR STRAY CATS" Five minutes to curtain up. Surely back-stage at the Old V ic cannot match the tensions behind the scenes at the Village Hall on the opening night of "A Home for Stray Cats"? After all, this is the culmination of weeks of effort: It seems a long time since the inaugural exploratory meeting at the Vicarage; followed by hours of pacing up and down learning one's lines - an incomprehensible procedure for one's nearest and dearest to witness; and then the rehearsals - warm and matey at the Vicarage, arctic and matey at the Village Hall, regularly lubricated by coffee of the stronger sort; then the rummaging in one's wardrobe, or other people's for that matter, for the most suitable garments to wear. D Day approaches inexorably. The pace quickens. Scripts are smuggled to work, propped up on front passenger seats, typewriters, organ lofts, blackboards, tea-pots - possibly even the pulpit? Wood appears as if my magic. The same magic conjurs up a carpenter to double the area of the stage; the cast attend rehearsals armed with screwdrivers to dismantle and reassemble the said extension with ever increasing speed and efficiency. Stage furniture appears, disappears, reappears in other guises. Gloom suddendly hits us a body blow. We won't - we can't be ready. Shall we chuck the whole idea? Pessimists pronounce, are countered by optimists, and the neutrals are swayed. The Show jolly well Must Go On. And to clinch the matter, the Curtains are Made To Work. Somewhat surprisingly, there is an audience out there. No going - 13 - back now! The whole cast, scripts in nervous fingers, repeat to themselves and each other, "It'll be all right on the night! 1111 Won't it? A Player. ************************************ 20th March, half-term and we are off to Devon to see some friends who had recently moved from Dorney. Our journey was postponed for 12 hrs. as notices appeared in the local Press proclaiming "The Dorney Players present A Home for Stray Cats". We had enjoyed the plays seen some 15 years before and had great expectations of the newly formed "Players". The Hall was full, the curtains raised and we saw our friends and neighbours transformed before our eyes. "How did they remember all those lines; was that really a neighbour in that long wig screaming like a wild thing? and look there' s and ..... ;" rippling through the audience as they recognised friends and relatives. The hardwork and many rehearsals that obviously went into the production paid off as the curtain fell to hearty applause. The remarks heard such as "How brave, I couldn't have stood up there in front of all my friends" to "I didn't expect it to be so good" reflect this hardwork. We had expected it to be enjoyable and were not disappointed, the postponement of our journey gave us added food for conversation with our friends in Devon. - 14 - Many thanks to all in front and behind the scenes.

ISSUE NO. 5/81 MAY, 1981 E D I T O R I A L An increasing number of owners of interesting old houses are opening them to the Public. Dorney Court is one of the lat.est to be opened. The house is Tudor, aOOut 500 years old, and medieval in shape, the family home of the Palmers for nearly 400 years, and is history on our own doorstep. We have heard of the story of the Pineapple, of Barbara Palmer, Countess of Castlemaine, the Duchess of Cleveland, friend of Charles II, and there are many other interesting aspects we have not heard of. The house also boasts of the little room inhabited by the ghost. April 26 was the opening date and an exciting prospect. There are 28 volunteers all local people willing to act as guides in the house, for the period from April to September. As it is the first time the Court has been opened to the public no one has any idea how many visitors will be making their way to Dorney to look at the Court. Many preparations have been made, a shop well stocked to tempt and a chance to have a cup of tea in the tea room, the original servants' Hall, and who knows, someone may see the ghost. - 1 - Dear Parishioners, The Ro y al Solemnization It is reported that the Dean of St. Paul's is receiving about thirty letters a day from members of the public making suggestions as to what rite should be used for the marriage service of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. All letters receive a reply and some correspondents have even received a personal telephone call from the Dean to discuss their ideas. Reading about this caused me to compare the three marriage rites available in the Church of England more carefully than I have done before - those in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the 1928 Prayer Book (never properly authorised but much used), and the 1980 Alternative Services Book. It is particularly interesting to compare the Introductions ("Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here ... ") and the reasons given there for the existence of married life. The 1662 version gives three: "First it was ordained for the procreation of children, to be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, and to the praise of his holy name. "Secondly, it was ordained for a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication; that such persons as have not the gift of continency might marry, and keep themselves undefiled members of Christ's body. "Thirdly, it was ordained for the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have of the other, both in p-rosperity and adversity. 11 In the 1928 rite the same three reasons are given in the same order but with a significant change of wording to number two, giving a more positive view of marriage: "Secondly, it was ordained in order that the natural instincts and affections, implanted by God, should be hallowed and directed - 2 - aright; that those who are called of God to this holy estate should continue therein in pureness of living." The 1980 marriage service drops this second cause for marriage completely and what was given third place in 1662 and 1928 is given first place: "Marriage is given, that husband and wife may comfort and help each other, living faithfully together in need and in plenty, in sorrow and in joy. It is given, that with delight and tenderness they may know each other in love, and, through the joy of their bodily union, may strengthen the union of their hearts and lives. It is given that they may have children and be blessed in caring for them and bringing them up in accordance with God's will, to his praise and glory. In marriage husband and wife belong to one another, and they begin a new life together in the community. 11 Notice also that marriage is no longer described as "ordained" (i. e. decreed, demanded) but as "given" by God, a gift to be thankfully received, valued, and enjoyed. It is significant that in the 1980 version a husband and wife's love and care for each other is given priority as the rock on which marriage is founded and as the setting in which children can be happily nurtured. Marriage remains emphatically a life-long commitment, for only so does it provide the deepest satisfactions for husband and wife, children, and for the community as a whole. Well, no doubt you will watch the wedding, for I am sure pro-Monarchists, anti-Monarchists, and the indifferent will all alike be drawn to witness what will certainly be an extraordinary and magnificent event. I hope you will be interested to listen out for the Introduction to see which rite they have chosen for that part of the service. I have one regret about the royal wedding - that somebody somewhere did not have the imagination and wit to choose at least one bridesmaid or pageboy from outside the ranks of the - 3 - aristocracy. Still, won't it be great to have at least one member of the royal family who is not obsessed by horses; indeed, who does not even ride! Dorney Summer Holidays As is usual at this time of the year, we are again looking for young volunteers, aged 16 or over, to help with some of our holidays at the Vicarage for London children. Each holiday lasts one week and we like helpers to stay for the whole week as that is better for the children. It is exhausting helping with these holidays, but great fun being with the children and other helpers, going on outings, playing games etc. The two weeks for which we still need helpers are July 24th-3lst and August 25th-September 1st. If there is anybody who would like to give their time in this useful and enjoyable way, please let me know soon. We are not this year holding a barbecue to help towards the cost of these holidays as we thought it was time for a change. Instead we are having a barn dance at the Village Hall on Friday July 17th. I do hope you will support this as a contribution towards our holidays for deprived children. With best wishes, Paul Hawkins.

Dear Editor, Dorney Court, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 6QP. 26th February, 1981 Dorney Court Opening to the Public 1981 Plans are now fairly well advanced for the opening to the public from 26th April to 27th September this year. The house will be open from 2.00 to 5. 30 p. m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays, although parties may be welcome at other times by special arrangement. Arrangements will be made for Dorney residents to come and see the house at the children's rate􀃪 I will leave a copy of the voting register at the gate for checking purposes. We still do not have the final planning approval for all the details but the public will come in by the entrance in court Lane and will exit onto Village Road by our front gates. The County Council highway engineers have insisted on more of a vision display than we would have liked in Court Lane itself but with luck only one tree, a chestnut , of which there are many in the area, will have to come down, but we hope to get away with leaving the vision display in as rustic a state as possible without making any harsh urban infringements. However, the County Council's word is law and we have no appeal against what they say on highway matters. When this has been settled, we shall be planting hedging materials so that the wooded and rural character of Court Lane will actually have been improved and of course the rather tatty nature of the fence will be improved. Car parking will be well inside the grounds itself and concealed from view among the now redundant and Common Market afflicted apple trees. - 12 - • In the stable area on the right of the lane that goes up to the Church, we shall be installing a small tea room with toilets and a small shop. There will be no exterior changes to this building which we hope will be saved from falling down and put to good use. The farm shop at Pigeon House farm will be operated from the shop here. The scale will be modest and there should be no i ntrusion on the village. If there is any inconvenience or if you have any comments now or as the summer progresses, please let me know. Yours sincerely, P.P. D. Palmer. ************************************************** • • •• •• :•• DORNEY CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION !•• : SHERRY PARTY ! •• •• -tc on +: •• •• •••• -S=-=U=ND=AY=-- =JU=NE:; 2=1=ST-= a=-=-t ...:::.12=-- =no=on •••• • • -1e at -tc •••• ••• ••• -'-'-OL=-D -"-DI=M=MI=NG=-S.'-- DOC.C.'--RN-EY •••• : By kind permission of Brigadier : iC and Mrs. Mayes. -IC • • • • •:• Admission £1. •!• *************************************************􀀈 - 13 - DORNEY & DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Items of Interest Results of Spring Garden Competition: - Open Class - 1st Mr. Springett, 2nd Mrs. Paddy Restricted Class - 1st Mrs. Williams, 2nd Mr. Brades, 3rd Mr. Hellmuth.

There were a few apologies for absence. The evening proved highly entertaining. A lively panel of four Eton masters with our Vicar, Paul Hawkins presiding, answered our questions which ranged fran light to serious. The subjects included Poland, El Salvador, What to give Prince Charles & Lady Di for a wedding present, the poor performance of the Welsh Rugby team and lastly, a somewhat Parthian shot - "Is it necessary to have a public school education to become a KGB agent". We would like to thank the Eton masters for giving us such an enjoyable time, especially as it was the last day of term, and also Paul for organising the panel. our next meeting on 22nd April, will be a slide show given by Bill Parker on "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady" with the accompanying record. Those of you who have read the book will be interested, I'm sure. Also, for the benefit of those who saw this show at the Steak Supper last year, sane new slides have been added.

ISSUE NO. 6/81 JUNE, 1981 E D I T O R I A L There was a time when a chap could spend his summer holidays comfortably dozing in a deckchair, having of course made due allowance for the possible appearance of the sun by slipping braces, rolling trouser legs up to the knees and protecting the head with the customary white handkerchief, knotted at each corner. Although this idyllic and traditional image of the Englishman on holiday is still favoured by the illustrators of the vulgar seaside postcard it is one seldom found among today's holiday snapshots for, according to a press report, there is a revolution in British holidaymaking; a revolution which educates urban people in the language of elemental recreation. Beaches are being forsaken for other 'pleasures' and a spirit of adventure has taken hold of the Nation. The annual vacation from the office or factory is now a time for action rather than rest. Rest, it is suggested, can wait until after the funeral. The object of adventure holidays is to enhance life, not, as one may suspect, to end it prematurely. A wide range of activities is available, designed to teach one to be hardy, rather than foolhardy. Participants can learn how to survive in the mountains, or try hang-gliding, rock-climbing, parachuting and other demanding pursuits. Sailing is always popular and a passage in the next Fastnet race can usually be arranged, although a voyage in a small sailing vessel on the cold grey seas around the English coast does not necessarily convince the crew that there is pleasure in discomfort, and there may be some temptation to return to the solace of that conventional deckchair. The report concludes that British holidays are now made of sterner stuff than a week at the seaside. Obviously these 'Action Men' have not sampled the seaside lately, for anyone enduring such a week during this wet, miserable month of May, particularly with young children in tow, would know that the British beach is the testing ground for 'Adventurer's Britain' and after a few days in Bognar or Yarmouth every British family could take an Outward Bound expedition in its stride. - l - Dear Parishioners, Christian Aid - the Churches in action in relief and development At the time of writing several Dorney folk have just completed a week of collecting for Christian Aid, along with about 400,000 others nationwide - a magnificent army of volunteers working to make the Jubilee Christian Aid Week an outstanding success, the first such week having been held in 1957. Last year Christian Aid's income for one year passed the £8½ million mark for the first time, a 20% increase on the previous year. It appears that Dorney is part of this marvellous trend: this year we have collected £149. 56, which is over double what we collected last year. So many thanks to those of you who collected and to all of you who gave. The great thing about aid given by voluntary agencies such as Christian Aid is that it goes straight to the local projects, rather than via governments etc. , thus ensuring that only a very, very small percentage of income is spent on administration. Government ministers dealing with overseas aid are the first to admit the greater effectiveness of voluntary aid per£ provided as compared with government sponsored aid. A Christian Aid representative recently came to address Dorney Church Council about their work and all that she said encouraged us to do all that we could to support Christian Aid Week. Special thanks are due to Mrs. Brigit Ames for so effectively organising the collection. . . . . . . . . . . and thanks also to all who organised lunches during Lent in aid of the Queen Elizabeth Foundation for the Disabled and to all who took part in them. They raised a total of £164. 50, again about twice that raised by the Lent lunches last year - another magnificent increase. Let's hope we can keep these percentage increases next year: Before leaving the subject of charities, one more appeal - but not for money this time: During this their centenary year the - 2 - Church of England Children's Society are raising funds by auctioning off old picture postcards. So if you have any old postcards, albums, early photographs, even modern cards, and are willing to donate them for auction, please send them to Mr. Edward Allnut, The Church of England Children's Society Chief Organiser, Lynward, 60 Finborough Road, Stowmarket, Suffolk, 1Pl4, or hand them in at the Vicarage, from where they will be sent on.

He said the new Foster Children Act, 1980, drew together various rules about the care of children, It made it clear that any person planning to look after or foster a child had to register the fact in advance with the Social Services Department. Any parent intending to place their child with a foster parent had a similar duty. This applied whether the care was by the hour, day or full-time. It affected anyone who acted as a child minder or foster parent to children to whom they were not related. Mr. Marsh said: "The regulations are meant to safeguard both children and adults. They cover such things as the number of children who can be left in the care of one person and the provision of toilet facilities. "We know of and have approved the arrangements made by hundreds of child minders and private foster parents in Buckinghamshire. But there must be many more about whom we don't know, simply because they have never been in touch with us." - 6 - Mr. Marsh said he strongly advised anyone looking after an unrelated child to contact one of the County's Social Services area offices. "Quite apart from the fact that they could be breaking the law if they don't, they will also put themselves in touch with people who can give a great deal of help and information about the care of children", he said.

Maidenhead. 24th April, 1981 Dear Sirs, Dorney Village It has come to my notice that a quantity of agricultural lime has been spread over a substantial length of highway by one of your vehicles as a result of a mechanical fault. The section of road lies through Dorney Village from Pigeon House Farm on Dorney Common to a site in Court Lane. It is appreciated that a breakdown of plant can readily occur despite maintenance work, but I see no reason why such a fault could not be quickly spotted and rectified by the driver of the vehicle at the time instead of relentlessly pursuing a course through a built up area to the quite evident hazard and inconvenience of users of the highways and local residents. A more responsible attitude is required than appears to be the case, and the purpose of this letter is to advise you formally of this requirement, Should there be any question of a claim arising out of such an incident your liability could be considerable. A serious view is taken of this incident, and I look to you to advise the County Council as Highway Authority that you accept - 12 - L responsibility for this occurrence in the event of any claims and to provide an assurance that firm measures will be taken and enforced to ensure that this sort of thing does not happen again. Yours faithfully, Divisional Surveyor. ************************************************************ ROYAL WEDDING CELEBRATIONS WEDNESDAY 29TH JULY 1981 VILLAGE PICNIC IN TRUMPERS FIELD 3 P.M. .... .... .. .. ...... .... .. .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ........

Members enjoyed the music and poetry on the accompanying record of extracts from the book. He gave a short talk on the author, Edith Holden, her life and background. He explained how in those days girls were taught the "gentle arts" and to observe nature and paint what they saw. As an example of this the wr.iter brought her mother's autograph book which contains some beautiful paintings of flowers dating from the late 189O's to after the first World War. The raffle, 2 lovely baskets of fruit, were won by Mrs. Jones & the writer. Meeting 27th May Through rmforeseen circumstances our visit to a TV studios on this date has fallen through. We are trying to arrange another outing and members will be notified as soon as possible. Meeting 24th June - Garden Party at "The Chalet", Harcourt Road.

ISSUE NO. 7/81 JULY, 1981 E D I T O R I A L I suppose it should not be surprising but I am continually amazed how much money is raised for charity through sponsorship. Jimmy Savile who must be number one contender for having raised the most money, personally raised £50,000 during the London Marathon in March, the money going towards his fund to rebuild the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. His target is to raise ElO.million by 1984 and started in January 1980, has passed the half way mark. It seems to me the hardest part of a sponsorship is the collection afterwards of the monies promised. It is also the wide range of activities for sponsoring, our Brownies recently were picking up bags of rubbish to raise some funds to buy a Flag, and also to help with the effort to be the Best Kept Village, a two-fold sponsorship. I mind the time when we had a sponsored walk in Trumpers Field to help build our Village Hall. If it is for a good cause it's pleasing how people will take part, every little helping to make a lot, especially in these days when money is not so easy to spare. - 1 - Dear Parishioners, Ex Dorney Vicar becomes a Star Of course I am hoping that Roger Royle is setting a precedent and that being Vicar of Dorney will always prove to be a training ground for television presenters. Perhaps I could do a series on Religion and Cooking, using the two Project Cookbooks as a basis! So far I have only seen the second of Roger's Sunday evening programmes and I think that his mix of religion and humour is a good one - we all need both! Jesus and laughter It is somethimes said, wrongly, that there is not much humour in the Bible. As far as Jesus is concerned it seems highly unlikely that the man who taught, "Do not look dismal", never laughed. His allusions to marriage feasts and his asssociation of the Kingdom of God with wining and dining is enough to begin removing doubts about the mood of his teaching. It took many forms: story and argument, epigram and paradox, homely analogies and piercing questions, daring comparisons and that sudden leap to the point. There was levity both in content and expression; it was calculated to cause both thought and merriment. When the humour of Jesus is uncovered we would be foolish to expect the refinements of contemporary comedy which arise out of our immensely more complicated, and perhaps foolish world. The other difficulty is that humour dates quickly: back copies of Punch just a few decades old often do not seem very funny at all and so it would be hardly surprising if we missed Jesus' brand of humour dating as it does from two thousand years ago! Nor should we expect his to be the sort of humour to produce boisterous and rollicking guffaws. Preposterous sayings But it is plain that Jesus used preposterous statements and - 2 - meant them to sound ludicrous. Thus we have pictures of men so concerned with the splinter in someone else' s eye that they are unconscious of the log in their own; we have men swallowing camels and camels going through the eyes of needles. Jesus forbade mere retaliation and taught this by making a joke of personal affronts in a blithe and carefree way: "If a man hits you on one cheek - well you still have the other one to offer. " This remark in particular is usually so earnestly interpreted that all the life and spirit are drained from it. He dealt with his critics in much the same joking manner .. "How can I describe the people of this generation?" he said, "What are they like? They are just like a bunch of kids playing in the street and shouting, 'We have played music for you and you would not dance, we have been glum and serious and you did not like that'. You said that John the Baptist had a screw missing because he was an ascetic. You say to me, 'Look at him! a ban viveur and a boozer, a friend of the lowest of the low. '" Humour is the best weapon against hypocrisy and Jesus clearly attacked hypocrisy. Needless to say a joke or comic remark often ceases to be funny out of its original context. Several of the sayings of Jesus in their original setting were doubtless comic. His remark, for example, that it is not the fit and flourishing that need a doctor, but those who are ill, could have been said at such a moment and in such a fashion that it would have sounded extremely funny to everyone - except the Pharisees. There are times when passages are not just slightly misunderstood but utterly incomprehensible unless seen in a comic vein. A Cannaanite woman from the region of Tyre and Sidon once asked Jesus for help. He said nothing, and his disciples urged him to send her away. Eventually he said, "I was sent to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, and to them alone. It is not right to take the children' s bread and throw it to the dogs. " She answered, "True, Sir, and yet the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." He said, "Woman what faith you have!" The fact that he should have responded so readily to the quip of the woman indicates that there was banter in his - 3 - own remarks and is further evidence of his enjoyment of wit. But most important of all, Jesus listed happy laughter (happy, joyous laughter, not vacant, vicious, or contemptuous laughter) as one of the gifts of God, and of heaven: "How blest are you who weep now; you shall laugh." This was part of his teaching that those who, rather than concerning themselves with their own happiness, concerned themselves with their neighbour's happiness, would discover what real carefree laughter was all about. In the hands of Fete As usual July will be a full month in Dorney: there are again the two fetes - the Vicarage Happening (July 5th) and the P.T.A. Summer Fete (July 11th). Let us hope that we get good weather and turn-out for both. No doubt the P.T.A. barbecue will have been its normal successful self. There is no Project barbecue this year but we are having a Barn Dance instead (Village Hall, July 17th). To those of you who have not done barn dancing before I thoroughly recommend it: its fun and easy, the "caller" telling everybody what to do. Then the month will come to a climax with the Royal Wedding Celebrations on July 29th. With best wishes, Paul Hawkins.

Playground Safety The Council agreed to purchase a copy of the new Safety Checklist for Playgrounds. The Parish Council had received an extract from a newsletter issued by the Wycombe District ColllIIlunity Health Council regarding an individual effort being made by Neil Slatter, now paralysed from the chest down,in support of the International Year of the Disabled. Neil has planned a trip of 1,000 miles in his wheelchair around the British Isles. His itinerary in Buckinghamshire includes a stop at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital on Sunday 21st June. Best Kept Village Competition Preliminary judging will have taken place when you read this. It is hoped residents will continue to keep the grass outside their fronts and backs looking well-cut and tidy. The Parish Council arranges for the cutting of the "dead areas" which do not adjoin houses, but it will be appreciated that it is not financially possible to undertake more extensive cutting. Have you looked at your front and back lately? - 12 - DORNEY WOMEN'S INSTITUTE The members of Dorney branch of the Women's Institute met at the Village hall on Wednesday, 10th June for their monthly meeting. The meeting opened with the members singing Jerusalem. After apologies for absence had been read the record of the May meeting was read, agreed and signed. Mrs. Sharphouse, the President, thanked Mrs. Harpur for arranging the outing to Anglesey Abbey on 3rd June. Everyone agreed that it was most enjoyable and that the house was well worth seeing. Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Harpur and Mrs. Huddart would select recipes from those received to compile a menu for a four - course meal, each course containing a dairy product. The finished menu will be entered in the Milk Marketing Board/National Federation of Women's Institutes' Competition. Names of members who will be willing to provide refreshments at the Vicarage Happening were taken. The July meeting will be a Garden Meeting, held at the Chauntry, by kind permission of Mrs. Robb, Mrs. C. Stone, of Taplow & Hitcham W.I. will give a report on the Annual General Meeting, held on Thursday, 4th June at the Albert Hall. Tea Hostesses - Mrs. Binns, Mrs. Ferris and Mrs. Jones. W.I. Duties. Child Welfare Clinic in July - Mrs. Cobb & Mrs. Chase. Over 6O's Club. 30th June - Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Harrison & Mrs. D. Jones. After the business Mrs. Harpur gave a mouth watering demonstration of 'Summer Delicacies. ' It was an excellent demonstration which sent members home wishing that summer would really come so that they could try out the recipes. The competition winners were:- 1. Mrs. Ferris. 2. Mrs. Edwards. 3. Mrs. Cobb. - 13 - r - · - ----- - 1st. DORNEY BROWNIE GUIDES In May Dorney Pack joined with other District Brownies in a day out at Wellington Country Park, and despite the terrible weather managed to enjoy themselves at exhibitions and following lovely muddy nature trails. A scrapbook of the Day was made for a competition to be judged later this month. Three new Brownies, Sarah Kelly, Kristina Richmond, and Emma Handy made their Promise this month and have been enrolled in the Pack. A group of Brownies went swimming and six of them passed the Swimmers Badge, they are Sarah Jackman, Lisa Breslin, Johanna Griffiths, Jessica Armstrong, Sacha Paddy, and Anna Hutton. Anna has also gained the First Aid Badge, and Jessica the Cyclist. The Pack wishes to buy an official Brownie Flag, which when ordered complete with name, poles and carrying equipment will cost £23. so to raise the money they volunteered to clear Dorney of litter being sponsored as to the number of bags they can fill in one hour. We hope also it will be some help for the annual competition for the Best Kept Village in Bucks.

Paul Hawkins 8.00a.m. 10.20 a.m. 10.30 a.m. Holy Communion Explorers and Creche at the Vicarage Parish Communion behaviour of the 500,000 people who thronged the processional route and to feel, once again, the natural rapport between public and police that we know exists. In the past weeks we have been sickened by the violent conduct and the vociferous voice of a purposefully disruptive and destructive minority. Here on the streets of London we heard the voice of the normally silent majority, in harmony with authority, in a great and refreshing demonstration. We must apologise for the late distribution of this edition of the Parish News. One could say it is becoming a habit, and a bad one! Unfortunately we are facing irresolvable printing problems, hence the unfamiliar composition of this issue. Although this format is not to our liking, circumstances may dictate its permanency. - l - Dear Parishioners, It would be a foolish person who was not made to feel concerned and anxious by the riots that have occurred in Britain in recent days: concerned, becuase of the inner-city deprivation that must be partly to blame for these disturbances, and anxious, because of what such violence can do to a nation. The media have been full of all sorts of explanations (some of them quite bizarre - like the professor who suggested too much lead in the atmosphere as the likely cause), such as lack of parental control, breakdown of family life, unemployment, poor educational facilities, bad housing, political manipulation by extremists, breakdown of relationship between police and community, and so on. No doubt all these, and other factors as well, are all partly to blame. But it is at least encouraging that many of those most involved and most shades of opinion appear to agree that on the whole these riots were not race riots. Again, another point of agreement seems to be that the general level of inner-city deprivation has played a major part in creating the present situation: successive governments, both Tory and Labour, have neglected the special needs of some urban areas. An open letter, from a present Tory cabinet member, was recently published in the Times: it had been written when Mr. Callaghan was Prime Minister and appealed, quite rightly, to the Labour government to give increased aid, through improving education, housing, health facilities etc., to urban areas. The letter argued that failure to respond would not only mean unacceptable deprivation for many citizens of this country but would also cause increasing social unrest. The sad thing is that not only did that Labour government fail to respond adequately, but also that the present government, of which the author of the letter is a member, has also failed to respond - indeed has made the situation worse. 1st Reader 10.30 Mrs. Wilkinson Isaiah 42: 1-7 30th August 8.00 a.m. 10. 30 a.m. PENTECOST 12 Holy Communion Parish Communion Flowers Cleaning Coffee Sidesman 8.00 10. 30 1st Reader 10.30 Mrs. Chapman Mrs. Hellmuth & Mrs. Belcher ,Mr. & Mrs. Houldsworth Mrs. Ames Mr. Pepler Mrs. Keith - 3 - John 17: 20 to end 2 Corinthians 5.14-6.2 .. 6th September 8,00 a.m. 10. 30 a.m. Flowers Cleaning Coffee Creche Sidesman 8.00 10. 30 1st Reader 10.30 13th September 8.00 a.m. 10. 30 a.m. Flowers Cleaning Coffee Explorers Creche Sidesman 8.00 10. 30 1st Reader 10.30 Holy Communion Parish Communion Mrs. Humpleman PENTECOST 13 Mrs. Ames & Mrs. Houldsworth Mrs. Richmond & Mrs. Perryman Mrs. Williams Mr. Butteriss Mrs. Hammond Mrs. Paton Holy Communion Parish Communion Mrs. Houldsworth PENTECOST 14 Mrs. Harpur & Mrs. Allen Mrs. Harpur & Mrs. Ames John 16: 1 -11 Acts 7.54-8-1 Mrs. Butteriss & Mrs. Hinckley Mrs. Lightwood Mr. Liney Mr. Robb Mark 10: 2 -16 Miss Perryman Ephesians 5.25-6-4 The Highways Departments has said there is nothing that they can do to improve the access from Marsh Lane on to the A4.

Members were given a choice of venue; Stonor Park or Mapledurham House. The majority opted for Stoner Park. Cars will leave Harcourt Road at 2 p. m. on Wednesday 5th August. Members were reminded of the Coffee morning, with a Bring & Buy Stall at Oakdene, the home of Mrs. Sharphouse, on Wednesday, 19th August, in aid of the Disabled - the children's unit at Cliveden Hospital. They were also asked to put their 'thinking caps' on and suggest some entertainment which they could do at the Group New Year Party on 20th January at George Green. After a delicious tea the members took part in competitions and were able to look round the garden. Before leaving Mrs. H. Harpur thanked Mrs. Robb for her kindness in allowing the Women's Institute to hold their meeting in her garden. Mrs. D. Jones had arranged a show of the paintings done by the Art Group and other members were able to note the Group's progress. - 7 - DIARY OF EVENTS Saturday 8th August Wednesday 19th August Saturday 5th September Saturday 12th September Saturday 19th September Tuesday 22nd September Sunday 27th September Friday 23rd October Friday 6th November DORNEY WOMEN'S INSTITUTE D. & D.H.S.

While there they saw a presentation given to the Assistant District Commissioner and to the District Cub Scout Leader who have now retired. They also made a collage of a starling, had a water fight, had plenty of good food (cooked by their parents) and kept Akela awake for most of the night. In other words, a very good time was had by all. The cubs welcomed Paul Hayton and Nicholas Staley as new members. A week later they visited the local Police Depot where they were shown the vehicles by P.C. Turner. They were fascinated by a demonstration of a motor bicycle and its horn and also saw a fast car and a specially equipped van. The following cubs gained athletics badges - Stage 1: Stage 2: Stage 3: Peter Shrimpton, Nicholas Staley, Mark Hoile, Timothy Billington. Christopher Longden, Julian Taylor. Geoffrey Branch, Ian Farrell, Myles Gittins, Craig Holloway, Richard Keith, Andrew Staley. As several of the cubs are now at or near the age at which they leave new cubs will be very welcome.

The judges were new to us but the results are not dissimilar to previous occasions. Entries were approximately the same number as the last few years. We would like to see more entries but some members are apparently put off because they feel their garden is "not up to competition standard". However, our judges are not rigidly strict and wish to encourage, not deter. So next year, even if certain aspects of your garden are not quite as you would wish them to be, please enter, if only for a fun thing. You could be pleasantly surprised at the result.

Tracey Perryman received her Queens Guide Certificate from the County Commissioner Mrs. Win Pearce at the Division Camp at Hyde Farm, Beaconsfield. The company had a Week-end Camp at the beginning of July at Monkton Farm, Little Marlow. It was nice to have Rebecca and Angela helping me to run the camp, since a year ago they were Guides in the company. Our Company took part in the District 'Cup Final', held this year at Elmfield, Cliveden. We entered two patrols, the competition this year was based on our 8 point programme: enjoying the out of doors: duty to God: Becoming a Homemaker: Keeping Fit: Thinking for yourself: Giving Service: Exploring the arts: Getting to know people. We were very thrilled,when all the points were added up at the end of the evening,that one of the Patrols, The White Roses, had won the Cup. Guides begin again after the Summer Holidays on Wednesday September 9th. Future Events. The District Swimming Gala will be held on Saturday December 12th at Maidenhead Leisure Centre. The Guides have gained the following Badges - Staley (Maidenhead 27973) or Gil Hayton (Maidenhead 23769). The first meeting after the holidays will be on Tuesday 8th September. From Your Cub Reporter. DORNEY WOMENS' SOCIAL CLUB Our June meeting was a Garden Party held at "Thta Chalet", Dorney Reach. In spite of the cold, cloudy weather an enjoyable hour was spent in the very attractive garden. Twenty or so members brought presents for the Lucky Dip and received a ticket entitling them to a "dip". The "Guess who's Photograph" competition, with snaps of ourselves when very young, proved a teaser in some cases and caused amusement when we finally learned •who was who". There was also a treasure hunt in the form of numbers on squares, the correct number being sealed in an envelope and revealed when the squares had been chosen. After a chilly hour Avril Poole kindly invited us into her home for coffee to warm us up. We dispersed at 10 p.m. We would like to thank Avril very much for lending her home and garden and also for donating a very pretty plant as a raffle prize. May I remind members that the A.G.M. will be held at 8 p.m. in the Village Hall on Wednesday, 8th July. We hope you will all make an effort to attend, especially as we shall need at least two new Committee members owing to the resignation of Margaret Perryman and Halwen Powell.

Robb, on Wednesday, 8th July, for their Garden meeting. In the absence of Mrs. Sharphouse, Mrs. E. Huddart, one of the VicePresidents, took the chair. After the apologies for absence had been given, the record of the June meeting was read, agreed and signed. Mrs. Huddart thanked the members who had made cakes etc. for the Vicarage Happening and those who came on the day to help. Members were very pleased to hear that the event had been such a success. The monthly letter was reviewed. It was agreed that the Dorney W. I. would put an entry in the County Produce Show, Mrs. K. Sharp agreeing to do the flower arrangement. Mrs. C.

It is hoped work will be carried out during the holidays. Dorney Common Outlets from the road will be attended to in order to prevent flooding. Marsh Lane/A4 The Highways Departments has said there is nothing that they can do to 1st. DORNEY BROWNIE GUIDES Our Sponsored Litter Collecting was a great success. A walk round Dorney Village and the Reach earlier in the day revealed very little litter and we thought that we would be lucky if we filled three bags. The Pack were divided into their sixes and each group with an adult took a different area stretching from the Common to Dorney Village Hall. They weren't in competition with each other but had hopes of filling a sack each. As it was the Brownies had far keener eyes than we had supposed and pulled cans from ditches, bottles from hedges, cartons hidden in nettles as well as the usual sweet wrappers, and 'fast food' remains. In one hour they had filled their sacks, and had also gathered a car seat from the stream and a bucket from outside a Stately Home! Dorney residents have been very generous in sponsoring the Brownies and we have already exceeded our target to buy a flag. When this is paid for, the excess money will go to a Charity as our contribution to the Year of the Disabled. Some of the Pack helped run a stall at the Vicarage Happening and raised E6. The term ended with a picnic at Pigeon House Farm and a presentation to Mrs. Hill, who has been a wonderful friend to the Brownies, - a badge tester, and a great supporter of Brownies and Cubs and Guides. We are sorry to lose her from the farm and hope she won't be going too far away. Six Brownies passed the Athletes Badge. Sandra Wells, Lisa Breslin, Anna Hutton, Helen Farrell, Jessica Armstrong, Sarah Jackman. The new term starts on September 10th.

Do come and join in this unusual kind of Fair and learn about what other local Churches are doing. I hope you all have had, are having, or wiil have thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable holidays.

We must hope that all our political parties will, as a major priority, turn their attention to improving social conditions and employment opportunities in the poorest urban areas, and that the country as a whole will be willing to pay for it. The thanks of the community are due to ...... ...... . the many people who so much deserve it for organising fundraising events for our local schools, Churches, Project etc., fetes in Burnham and Dorney, a barbecue, a Barn Dance, a Happening - all involving a fantastic amount of hard and sometimes nerve-racking work. Quite apart from the money they raise, our local community life would be much the poorer without such events. Burnham Deanery Family Fair This Fair is at Slough and Eton Church of England Secondary School (Ragstone Road) on Saturday September 12th from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The idea of this Fair is not to spend money (although there will be small fundraising stalls), but to look at the various displays from all the parishes in the Slough area indicating what the Church is and does in this area. There will also be activities and games for children and Music and Dance from local groups. Also present at the Fair will be four "Partners in Mission" from other Churches and parts of the world who are spending a few days in Slough examining the local Churches, with a view to suggesting ways in which the life and mission of the Churches could be deepened and made more effective. - 2 - ISSUE NO. 8/81 AUGUST, 1981 E D I T O R I A L I am acquainted with only one person who neither watched nor listened to any of The Wedding day broadcasts. Determinedly she set off into the depths of the countryside and there enjoyed her anti-establishment picnic. She, and the party of British socialists and republicans who fled to Boulogne, and certain persons at County Hall, obviously felt the need for alternative diversions to shield them from this evidence of the popularity of the monarchy and the sight and sound of a happy and orderly populace expressing their loyalty and affection. Although it was estimated that several hundred million people around the world would seize the opportunity to watch history in the making, my colleagues and I said we could not possibly spend the whole morning facing the small screen. Of course the ladies would naturally enjoy it, but we men would probably do a little gardening or perhaps a bit of painting or we might even fit-in a round of golf. Well our schemes, like that of mice, soon went a-gley. What was to be a cursory early glance developed into a lingering ten minutes, and from then on there was no escape. Completely caught-up in the pageantry, we found outselves ensconced in our favourite armchairs captivated by every momentous moment until the curtains closed upon the final balcony scene, and even returned for the drive to Waterloo. Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of the day was to witness the exemplary behaviour of the 500,000 people who thronged the processional route and The Rev.

And how proud I felt of those young people who all too often are wholly branded with the vandalism of the few but who were themselves showing their anger against the poisonous obscenity of those older people, the statesmen and military maniacs whose fingers are hovering over the nuclear war button. Dr. Humphrey closed on an apposite quote from Dylan Thomas: 'Rage, rage against the dying of the light'. I close this letter with the words of the late Lord Mountbatten when referring to the introduction of 'tactical' or 'theatre' weapons: "In the event of nuclear war there will be no chances, there will be no survivors - all will be obliterated . . . . . When I was Chief of the British Defence Staff I made my views known .. . . . I repeat in all sincerity as a military man I can see no use for nuclear weapons which would not end in escalation, with consequences that no one can conceive." - 16 - Harry Dorrell, 3, Oak Stubbs Lane, Dorney Reach. DORNEY PLAYERS I joined the appreciative audience for the Saturday evening performance of the Dorney Players' latest presentation 'A Midsummer Mink'. This very amusing comedy by Peter Coke was played to capacity audiences on Friday and Saturday 20th & 21st November and reflects Parishioners eagerness to support the performing arts, particularly when they know that the 'Players' provide such good entertainment. When the play opens we are introduced to a Major Rayne C.B. M. V.O., who with military precision and expertise deploys a group of high-born and eminently respectable ladies in charity work - rattling collecting tins around London (and outside swan & Edgar in particular) and dispensing the proceeds among the poor and needy. By pure chance a stolen fur coat comes into their possession and sets them upon the path of receivers of stolen furs. This highly lucrative fencing operation brings in a great deal of money, enabling them to widen their charitable horizons. The witty script involves eleven characters, some decidedly shady. The entire cast, together with those involved in production, scenery and stage management, earned our praise and thanks for this very enjoyable performance. I do not know who was in charge of the wardrobe but by the number of fur coats, stoles and wraps on display it was obviously someone with an affluent circle of friends. This is the Dorney Players' second production this year and I know they have ambitious plans for 1982. They will welcome new recruits to their ranks1 performers, producers or back-stage assistants.
