Editorial
Welcome to the October edition of the Loddon Valley Link.
As we pass the Autumn equinox our main feature this month is the
Sherfield Show. After 50 years it can rightly be called a fixture on the local
calendar and we can hopefully, with the continued support of all the
residents, look forward to many more. Start planning for next year.

Dear Friends
There is, by and large a vein of
generosity running through the people of
our nation. A recent Charities Aid
Foundation survey says that eight out of ten
people (79%) participated in at least one
charitable giving or social action activity in a
12-month period with a figure of 10.6
billion given by UK adults in 2014. That
response to appeals is commendable
though as an average it is still relatively low
per individual. Nevertheless, it is solidly
there.
What I find myself interested in,
though, are our motives for giving and the
criteria we employ to determine the amount
we give. A book by past Archbishop of
Canterbury, George Carey, and his
journalist son, Andrew Carey, entitled We
dont do God, charts the growing
secularisation of a society that believes that
it no longer needs God or for that matter
faith, yet fails to see that the whole
foundation of its rule of law and its way of
life has flowed from Judeo-Christian
principles and values. So too have its
charitable foundations and traditions, which
are the obedient out-working of faith in God.
Whatever negative aspects of the
church there are (and there are many,
simply because we are only human) there
are countless examples in the last 300
years of the selfless generosity of poor
Christians and rich Christian philanthropists
alike who have radically altered the shape
of the social landscape because they
believed in Gods rule of love and
generosity, which brings wholeness,
healing, human dignity, equality, justice and
mercy, respect for life and so on. We all
know how that played out in the areas of
slavery, healthcare, unions, education,
hospitals, care homes, orphanages,
hospices etc.
With Harvest Festivals in progress
Christians are called again to live out the
generosity of God by being people of
generosity. The Christian motive for giving
is supposed to flow from their
understanding of a God
who gave and gives
everything for us, and of his
Son, Jesus, who gave his
life for us and calls us to
begin an experience of new
life here on earth. Even if
we have no Christian faith we ought really
to be motivated by the relative wealth we
have compared to many in this world. My
experience is that being human, whether
Christian or not, most have an instinct for
preservation and selfishness that needs to
be overcome in order to share the worlds
resources more fairly, because it sure isnt
fair now!
One of the most challenging sentences in
the Bible, with reference to giving, is in 2
Corinthians 8 v 2. About the poverty
stricken Macedonian church at that time,
the Apostle Paul describes their attitude to
giving, Out of the most severe trial, their
overflowing joy and their extreme poverty
welled up in rich generosity. This
description of how to give challenges us to
give more sacrificially from what we have
and not simply from what we have left over.
Try some radical giving this harvest.
Experience the blessing of giving to those in
need by going without something you just
fancy rather than need.
You will be blessed! God bless you all.

Yours sincerely
For me forming a collaboration is a
positive, forward thinking choice. It is not a Mr G Golding
consolation prize or a way of overcoming
the Headteacher shortage that is affecting Executive Headteacher
schools nationally. I have always been a
huge advocate of sharing expertise and
resources across schools for the benefit of
all children. As part of a collaboration
Bramley now has access to a wider pool of
human resources; we have greater

Could you
volunteer for just
1 to 2 hours a
week to make a
real difference in
enhancing older
people's lives?
Royal Voluntary Service is looking
for volunteers to visit older people
returning home from hospital to support
them in reclaiming their confidence at
home and in the community. Anyone can
become a volunteer, even one hour a
week can make a difference to the quality
of an older person's life.
The benefits to both volunteers and older
people are numerous and rewarding;

classes and the trophies so generously donated then are still being used today.
The first venue was a marquee in Boxers
Field, now Mole Country Stores
At first, you couldnt move in the tea tent, as
we all ran for cover from the terrible storm.
But, everyone rallied round, the judges were
very understanding and after restaging, the
show was a great success, netting a profit of
50 a tidy sum in those days. There were
over 150 entries and 250-300 in attendance.
We certainly started something! (Bert)

The Triangle
An extraordinary meeting of the parish
council was held on 13 September.
Representatives of the prospective
developers, Mill Lane Estates, heard
comments from residents and parish
councillors on the early stages of their
ideas for this site. It was indicated that
15 homes could be built there. No
planning application has been submitted
yet and it is anticipated that there will be
further discussions.
