The ‘B’ Word! Switch on the news at any point over the past two years (June 23rd 2016 to be exact) and you would have heard the ‘B’ word...Brexit. I think these days as soon as the word is mentioned people automatically switch off. Things change, opinions switch back and to, and still to this date nothing is resolved.
To put it in context, since the referendum was held, Manchester City have won the league twice, won two Carabao cups and an FA cup. One of my children has taken ‘A’ Levels and completed his second year at university, another has done his GCSE’s and his ‘A’ Levels and the youngest has grown over half a foot taller. ‘One Dance’ was number one in the charts’; Meghan and Harry weren’t even engaged; Princess Charlotte was only one and Prince Louis hadn’t even been born and we hadn’t ever imagined that the horrors of terrorism would strike in Manchester city centre claiming 22 innocent lives.
What I am trying to say is that it is no wonder that people are bored of Brexit. Yet it remains (no pun intended) to be one of the most important events (non-events) of post-war Britain.
In my experience, the hurt and pain of the result of the Referendum still is very raw. Families with differing political views or differing views on whether we should have voted remain or leave have been split down the middle, sometimes with irrevocable breakdown. Friends have had strained relationships, some of which have been mended, some of which have changed in a negative way. This vote and the way things panned out, in June 2016, has damaged people, families and the country.
Whether you voted ‘Remain’ or ‘Leave’ is to some extent irrelevant, what we all need to do now is to pull together to make things work, in whichever way we can. Some people feel that their feelings and views have been trodden on – often this has happened completely innocently, yet now is not the time to hang on to ‘bad blood’. No matter how hard it is, the time is right to build stronger friendships and bury feuds.
This country is special. Our country is special. We have had harder, more turbulent times before and no doubt we will have them again, but we are
strong – the old adage- ‘together we stand, divided we fall’ is so important right now. Politics need to be put aside, not forgotten or ignored but political view, just like race, gender or creed should not let us hurt each other.
Theresa May announced that she would stand down on 7th June, and the battle for a new leader to lead us out of the European Union will begin. This woman, who voted to remain, took the helm of a ship that was sailing into stormy waters when others wouldn’t and tried to engage all the crew into making it a smooth ride. Although she failed – she tried and that should be acknowledged.
Looking to the future is the only choice we have, one can only hope that we can have a future that our children and grandchildren, the next generations can build on and improve and be proud of.
I do not write this with any party political slant. I don’t mean to offend and apologise if any offence has been taken by anything I have written.
This is not a ‘Party Political Broadcast’ – it is my prayer for the future – a positive future, I hope a prayer for all of us regardless of belief.
It is however a plea, a plea to mend broken relationships caused by this situation and a plea to not judge people who have different beliefs or opinions than our own. A plea not to look for fault and blame, a plea to move on so we can focus on the other things that are important.
I found this prayer from Joanna Bailey Designs on the future which I felt summed things up.

Namaste all! My name is Nrithya Rammohan and I am the Founder & Artistic Director of NrithyaKala UK (NK UK). I have had the pleasure of teaching the Indian Classical dance form of Bharatanatyam & Bollywood dance at the All Saints Church Hall from January 2017. Classes are on Saturdays and Sundays. The students receive training to undertake Imperial School Dance exams. In addition, they perform regularly at various community and charity events all over Greater Manchester. There are several Mother and daughter pairings keeping our ethos of dance families going strong.
Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest classical Indian dance forms, originating in the South Indian state of Tamilnadu. The etymology of Bharatanatyam is a combination of the words - Bhavam (expression), Ragam (music), Talam (beat/rhythm) and Natyam (dance) ; Bha + Ra + Ta + Natyam= Bharatanatyam. The dance involves spectacular footwork with stories being enacted through mime & the dancer’s facial expressions.
Bollywood Dance is an amalgamation of styles which include the classical, folk, jazz, modern & contemporary. It is extremely popular, energetic and upbeat - who doesn’t like to “pat the dog” or “screw the lightbulb?!”
I am grateful to Elaine and the team for their continued support. We would like to invite all of you to come and try out a few sessions with us – it is a lot of fun after all, Dancing is like Dreaming with your feet!!

Enjoy eating yours…!
Slavery Definition (noun): a person who is legally owned by someone else ans has no personal freedom There seems to be a fundamental flaw with this definition of slavery – ‘legally owned’? I’ll leave you to ponder that one yourselves.
There is a fundamental flaw in slavery per say. Does anyone have the right to own someone else? Does anyone have the right to stop anyone else from having personal freedom?
When I was little, I thought slaves were from the history books – and not part of British history at that.
Manchester and its prosperity in the 1700’s thrived on the back of slavery, producing cloth that was traded for captured Africans. As cotton cloth became more desirable, traders began to import slave-grown cotton from America and at this time the slave trade was booming. Despite Manchester’s direct role in the slave trade it was the city’s campaigners who also were a strong influence in the 1807 Abolition of Slave Trade Act. This started when pressure was put on the government to end the trafficking of Africans and given momentum when Thomas Clarkson denounced slavery in an address he gave at Manchester Cathedral on 8th October in 1787.
Watching ‘Roots’ as a young girl, I felt sorry for the slaves – thinking it was mean; watching ‘12 Years a Slave’ as an adult I felt shame and disgust as a white person that white people treated black people so despicably because of the colour of their skin.
Thankfully, times have changed because of people like Thomas Clarkson, Olaudah Equiano and William Wilberforce and slavery has been resigned, albeit shamefacedly, to the history books – right? Unfortunately, not. Slavery still exists in the modern world. When will we ever learn from our mistakes? Wikipedia defines modern slavery as contemporary slavery or neo-slavery and refers to ‘institutional slavery that continues to exist in present day society’ and in May 2016 the BBC reported on five examples of modern-day slavery. The 2016 Global Slavery Index, from the Walk Free Foundation in Australia, defines slavery as "situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, abuse of power or deception" and, according to a new report, it is estimated that over 45,000,000 million people are living in modern slavery (over two thirds of the victims are from Asia). The five examples that the BBC looked into included the seafood industry in Thailand; cannabis factories and nail bars in the UK; sex slavery in the US; forced begging and ‘hidden’ slavery that takes place in homes and on private farms. Thankfully, awareness is being made and campaigns from many different agencies are trying to take a stand just like Wilberforce and Clarkson did over 200 years ago.
One such agency is ‘Anti-Slavery International’. Founded in 1839, they are the oldest international human rights organisation in the world. Their vision is simple: “a world free from slavery” and their mission is to “work directly and indirectly with beneficiaries and stakeholders from a grassroots to international level to eradicate slavery and its causes from the modern world.”
I hope as a society that we can look back in 200 years’ time and wonder in horror how this could have happened but also be proud knowing that we helped to eradicate it. Dear Lord, Give hope to those who find themselves in modern day slavery or who have struggled with a past in slavery. Give patience and perseverance to those that strive to combat slavery and forgiveness to those who have been/ are party to it. Give us all the freedom to have our own thoughts and the responsibility to use the freedom we have wisely and for the good of others. Amen. Emma S-C Greenlees
A Schoolboy’s Diary
Today is Sunday June 2nd and my wife Christelle and I went to Church this morning at All Saints in Hale Barns, and afterwards in the Coffee Lounge.
The country is going through quite a busy time, what with Brexit and its problems, President Trump’s visit, and the Commemoration Service in Portsmouth of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, last month. For those who don’t quite know what D-Day means, it was when Britain and our Allies invaded France to end World War 2, and defeat Nazi Germany.
This is where I digress. Today, I had with me my Boy Scouts Diary for 1944, and I was just 4 months away from my 15th birthday. I thought it may be interesting to share my memories with my friends who had been a part of my life in the last 30 odd years. I still have a small collection of my diaries as a schoolboy in London throughout the War, until I was called up as a conscript in the RAF in 1947.
I now give you the words verbatim for June 6th 1944…”We have invaded the European Continent today. Went to the flicks with Eric and Pete. Saw ‘Purple Heart’ and ‘Harry’s Little Secret’. So going to the ‘flicks’ (or cinema) was our only entertainment. There was no such thing as TV, and we had only 2 BBC radio stations.
Just after D-Day the Germans decided to fight back and concentrated some of their efforts on creating havoc to the civilian population in the South East of England which included us in London.
On Friday June 16th my diary noted…”Went to Scouts. Had some good games. Air Raid warnings all day. A new Robot Plane sent to England. They are big bombs.” That was the start of the V1 flying bombs known as Doodle Bugs. When their engines stopped they crashed to earth and exploded causing much damage and loss of life. For many weeks until August, there were Air Raids every day and night, and the sirens kept telling us that there was either an Alert or an All-Clear. It was so confusing we tended to ignore them until we heard the rather loud engines of the V1. “Is it All-Clear at the moment?” We just didn’t know.
Then followed the V2 which was a rocket sent from somewhere on the Continent. You couldn’t see them or hear them until they hit the ground, exploded and caused a lot of damage and casualties. Initially we were told they were exploding gas mains but then admitted they were Germany’s new secret weapon. One of these landed at the top of my road in Winchmore Hill, North London, and ruined the lovely old Roseneath Cottage which had once been the home of the poet Thomas Hood (1799-1845). He had written the poem ‘I remember, I remember the house where I was born…’ It wasn’t that house!
Going back to the blitz in 1940/1 we used to collect shrapnel and the hero was the one who found the biggest bit. I still have the nose-cap from an anti-aircraft shell, but to my regret I had given away the tail fin from an incendiary bomb. Although it was illegal at my age of 12 to be employed as a paper-boy, I started delivering papers for the local newsagent Mr Lindsell who was very strict and stood no nonsense from any of us. “You will deliver my papers and I will accept no excuse for you being unwell unless you are bombed out.” Yes he was obeyed! We weren’t bombed out. Yes – we broke the law but who cared? In my later years I was still involved with the morning papers. My wife and I owned the Post Office/Newsagents in The Square in Hale Barns through the whole of the 1980s and early 90s. We didn’t deliver papers or treat my staff in the same way as Mr Lindsell. Anyway we didn’t have any bombs!
Now in my 90th year I have time to read the papers and don’t need to be concerned about the paper boy. I promise not to tick him off… Ray Lucas

4th Hale Brownies and Guides come to All Saints! 4th Hale Guides and Brownies, have been part of Girlguiding since 1939, based in Hale until this year. Unfortunately, our previous home is no longer available, but every cloud has a silver lining, and we are thrilled to have been welcomed into the All Saints family this summer. We will join the 3rd Hale Barns Rainbows and 2nd Hale Barns Brownies, who also meet here. In both Brownies and Guides it’s all about having adventures, learning new skills and making friends. Girls will learn to work in small groups and to lead, with activities often chosen by the girls themselves. Over the past year the Guides have baked cakes, tried all sorts of different crafts, visited Emmeline Pankhurst’s home, participated in UK Parliament week, designed computer games at UKFast, pressed apples with a traditional apple press in an orchard, made Christmas cakes, learned about the WWF and biodiversity, planted seeds and made mini-ecosystems. We’ve also raised money for an animal rescue charity, went on an astrophysics Girls Night Out at Jodrell Bank, and learned self-defence, as well as more traditional guiding activities of cooking on campfires, camping, building dens and getting outdoors!
The Brownies have also had a busy term learning new skills such as trying their hand at a Climbing Wall, and adventure play at Red House Farm. We have completed the AMEY Engineering and Design badge which is a partnership between Girlguiding and the engineering company, and aims to challenge our youngsters and encourage
more women into engineering – which judging by the enthusiasm and fun taking part in the activities has been very positive! The Brownies love going away too and are soon off for a sleepover at our wonderful girl guiding activity centre in Ashley, which the girls love - especially toasting marshmallows and torch light walks! Girlguiding has recently launched a fantastic new programme, with themes for Know Myself, Be Well, Have Adventures, Take Action, Express Myself and Skills for My Future, with a full range of badges and activities to suit all interests – things like Mixology, Upcycling, Navigation, Photography, Meditation and Fixing (DIY) – we are enjoying giving it all a go! All of these things allow our youngsters (and leaders!) to grow in confidence, make friends and try out new skills and have fun in a safe, supportive and friendly environment.
4th Hale Brownies currently has 21 Brownies aged 7-10 years and The Guides has 24 girls aged 10 to 14 years. We meet on Thursday evenings during term time, led by a small team of volunteer leaders and parent helpers. We are always looking for adults to help us in our activities, either by sharing their interests and skills, or by giving up an hour or two to help in the weekly meetings. All of our adult
helpers are volunteers, giving their time for free, but I think it’s fair to say that we leaders love it every bit as much as the girls do! To find out more about joining Brownies or Guides as a young member please register on https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/get-involved/ or to find out more about helping at a unit, please contact Kate Johnson on [email protected] or 07980 506 530.
