Dear Friends,

August: when good weather, school and work holidays, and the lure of escape from city life draw people to Studland and Swanage in their tens of thousands. Studland has its Country Fair at the end of the month and its wonderful beaches, countryside and wildlife; Swanage has its fireworks, Carnival, beach and – at St Mary’s for the first time while I’ve been here - St Mary’s Flower Festival. It will be a major event; we hope that it will give us the opportunity to welcome visitors and residents alike to the special concerts, to worship at the special services which also celebrate our Patronal Festival, and to enjoy the inspiration of the flower arrangers. Of course it’s also a “fund-raiser” and we hope to raise a good sum which will help us to improve St Mary’s for the many events which take place there with increasing frequency; but I hope that something of the commitment of the congregation to worship and Christian ministry will also be very clear to those who visit.

We are very grateful to flower arrangers and others from all our churches and the wider community who are taking part and supporting this event in many ways; and to the special inspiration and skills of Mike and Marie Killingback in bringing the event together.

All our churches will see many casual visitors during the holiday season, some simply to look and enjoy our buildings but others for prayer or a time of quiet. We are fortunate to have four special buildings as a focus for our Christian lives. It’s good to be able to share them with our summer guests simply as an act of hospitality; but they can also be part of our mission, instruments of the message that God is here in our communities and that, here, in his name, there are people who care for one another, their neighbours in need, and the world which sustains us all. So we hope that those who come may also be moved to follow the Christian way.

With my prayer and good wishes for every blessing. Enjoy August in Swanage and Studland! John

 
STUDLAND GARDENING ASSOCIATION

The Summer Show is approaching fast but there is still time to enter. The Show includes vegetables, fruit and flowers, of course, but also cookery, handicrafts, photography and floral arrangements, and special classes for children - so there’s something for everyone to have a go at even if you’ve never tried before. If you haven’t yet seen a schedule copies are still available from Studland Stores, the leaflet stand in the Village Hall entrance lobby and committee members. Please don’t forget to register your entries at the Village Hall on the evening of Tuesday 3rd August, between 7 and 8.30. The entries night is also a good opportunity to have your questions answered if you have any general queries about how to enter or need clarification about a particular class.

The Show itself is on Saturday 7th August in the Village Hall. There’s always a good display so please come along even if you haven’t entered anything - doors open at 2.30.

Cup holders are reminded that cups should be returned before the Show. As usual we would be very grateful for the donation of cakes and scones to serve for the teas.

Studland History Group.
In June extracts were read from Linda Jackson's book on her life growing up in Studland which gave a fascinating insight into how so many things have changed in the past 80 or so years. I hope this may inspire others to write about their lives and families before it's too late!
The next meeting is on Wednesday 18th August when Trev Haysom will continue with his history of St. Nicholas Church and the surrounding area. Meet at the Church at 2.30pm. A cup of tea afterwards. Everyone welcome, visitors £3. More information from 01929 439245.
For the September meeting on the 15th we will be visiting Studland Brewery at the Bankes Arms, and on 20th October Martin Churchill will be the speaker for The 'Churchills'. Growing Up In Studland.

WI

The President welcomed us to our July meeting plus a warm welcome to Margaret South who had come as a guest.
There wasn’t much business to discuss but many thanks were given to Christina Cook for organising recent outings to Kilver Court Gardens, The Tivoli Theatre, Wimborne and Compton Acres. All had been much enjoyed. There had been a very successful cream team on 6th July which had been very profitable together with Mary Logan’s trading stall. Apparently all who came much enjoyed themselves. There are more cream teas in the near future which will hopefully be as enjoyable and successful. There will be a pitch and putt and fish and chip supper in Swanage on 11th August. On 17th August there will be a programme meeting at Margaret Dando’s house and anyone is welcome. We heard that Phyl Lampitt had recently died and a card was sent from Studland WI where she had been an active member for many years.

The Presdent then welcomed our Speaker Kate Cotton who came to tell us about her involvement with Marie Curie. This charity started in 1982 with a £6 million budget and occupied a small amount of office space but is now a large organisation with a budget of £30 million a year and 50% is funded by the Health Authority and 50% by the charity. 30% of the charity’s income comes from people leaving money in their wills. Kate told us a little of the charity’s history and about Marie Curie herself. Since it started 390,000 patients have been cared for in their own homes. It is now planned to double the number of patients cared for by Marie Curie to 35,000 a year by 2013 and double the number of hours of care by 2013 to 2 million. The Nurses don’t just care for cancer patients but also for those with multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and end stage heart failure. The care is always free of charge and there is no means testing facility for anyone at any time. It was a very interesting talk and Kate was warmly thanked by the President on behalf of us all.

The raffle was won by 1.) Christina Cook and 2.) Pat Reavenall. The competition winner was Diane Robson.

There is no meeting in August. Our next meeting will be for the harvest supper on 8th September when there will be country dancing with live music provided by the Plowman’s Pickle Group. The competition will be for a corn dolly.

Studland Parish Council
For inclusion in the Parish Magazine

Mr Laurie Clark, General Manager of the Purbeck estate presented the council with his Purbeck property business plan. He outlined details and answered questions. The plan will be discussed at the next meeting of the council. The plan is not for general distribution but should any resident have any queries please contact a member of the council.

Emma Wright reported that in response to the councils request the open top bus will be in the parish removig overhanging foliage, and as part of weed control, Ragwort pulling and bracken spraying will also be taking place.
The Army bomb disposal unit will be continuing with the detonation of further unearthed armaments.
A meeting of interested parties had taken place regarding the deer population, the minutes of the meeting will be presented and discussed at the next council meeting.

Waste container. This has now been placed in the recycling centre in Heathgreen road and will remain there for the summer months. Please do not leave plastic bags on the ground as they are torn apart by animals.

The County highways department have been requested to cut back foliage in their ownership adjoining the roads within the Parish.

Proposed Cross roads central reservation The county council have declined our request as they consider that as vehicles are parked outside the shop in the marked bays pedestrians emerging from between the vehicles present an unacceptable hazard. They also state that there are insufficient funds for the project.
The council are very disappointed as initially the county were in favour of the proposal and requested a plan for consideration.
The council will be considering the matter further.

MCZ survey. The survey forms have been distributed. The council will be most grateful if you would post the completed forms in the box provided at the Village stores by MONDAY 9th AUGUST.
The results of the survey will be reported to the council at its meeting on 16th August and will be published in next month’s parish magazine.
The council is grateful to the Rev Tony Higgins who has agreed to act as scrutineer for the analysis.- Robin Hilton for Alan Leeson - Parish Clerk

Studland Parish BBQ

Wednesday 20th July an evening to be remembered and enjoyed. More than 70 villagers and some passers by came together on a perfect summers evening to enjoy each others company and a feast of biblical proportions.
The bring and share meal both in quantity and quality was greatly enjoyed by all who came a there where many request to do it again. Several have suggested that a Parish Harvest Supper be held this year on similar lines to the BBQ. As they say “watch this space” Perhaps a tangible indication of the enjoyment and success of the event is that almost £280 was donated for Haven for Hero’s . My thanks to you all for bringing the feast, for serving the feast and cooking the feast but most of all thank you for coming and enjoying yourselves under the beautiful mantle of St Nicholas.
