Editorial

Many thought it would never happen, but it has! The new road from Wragby Road to the Riseholme Road has been open for traffic from 27th February. The official opening is on 12th March next, but meantime it is open for use. It should ease the heavy lorry traffic through the village. The real easement will come when the major portion of the new roarl through to Newark Road is open­ed in something over another year.

The Annual Parish Meeting will be held on 11th April next, in the Mulsanne pavilion at 7.30 pm. It is almost certain that representatives of the Samaritans will attend and give a talk followed by a film. Please come along and make the evening a success.

The Sports Community Association has been very active recently. Work is about to start in more than doubling the size of the car park and it is hoped that an extension to the pavilion will be started before too long. Application has been made to the appropriate authorities for grant aid towards new tennis courts in Mulsanne Park, but no definite information has been received in reply.

The Village Clock Working Party has held further meetings, and already over £1000 has been donated as a memorial to the Reverend George Herrington. The Ladies' Club Bazaar proceeds will be donated to the Working Party's funds and the Women's Institute are. arranging a special function. A number of events during the summer are being directly organised by the Working Party. It is hoped· that a "thermometer" showing the amount raised for the fund at any time will be displayed in the large Co-op window.

Individual donations will still be welcomed and will be accepted by any of the persons named below. I feel sure that once the work has been completed, it will be much appreciated.

The Nettleham Junior Scjool team attended

a Swimming Competition at Maltby on 2nd March. The boys' team won 1st place out ot 16, whilst the girls were second out of �6. They all go to the Finals at Leeds on 20th April.

It is with the greatest regret that I must leave Nettleham Health Centre. I have been commuting to London at weekends, and two winters have proved to me I am not as young as I look!!

Thank you all for your help and support. It is an honour to have served this excellent co��unity.

Parish Council News At their meeting on the 5th February the Parish Council eo-opted Mr Mike Spencer, Beckside, as a member to fill the vacancy created by the death of the Rev Herrington. Mike is already a key member of the Sports & Community Association, but is looking forward to serving the wider interests of the Parish in the months to came.

A letter has been received from the ru1glian Water Authority stating that the practice of softening tl1e water at the welton waterworks is to be discontinued. Whilst most of the village receives water from Welton, part of the village is supplied with water from the Branston area and this water has hardness characteristics almost identical to the unsoftened Welton water. The Water Board acknowledge that there will be increased scaling of heaters, boilers etc, but point out that same adjoining areas have been receiving unsoftened water for many years and the effects have been found manageable and the costs reasonable. The Parish Council are not satisfied with the position and are asking the Water Board to send a representative to speak on the subject at a public meeting to be fixed. If you are interested watch for the date of the meeting to be published in the Parish Council Notice Board outside the Co-op Store.

Bishop's Palace PreseiVation Sac A nlltll::er of interested persons has formed this Society with a view to reviving interest in the site generally but with particular interest in preparing a "notice board11 of same kind showing a line diagram of the site, an artists bmpression of what the buildings looked like and finally a potted history in words on the board. At present the cost is estimated at same £350 - £400 and small funds are already available. Perrnissions have to be obtained from a variety of bodies and others are being approached for grant aid. If you're interested you will be welcome at the next meeting to be held in Mulsanne Pavilion on Tuesday 2nd April at 7.30 pm.

Village Carnival The carnival this year is on Saturday 6 July. Final details are not yet arranqed but then; will be the usual parade, and side shows etc.

As usual we are short of willinq helpers, to make the day a success, if you can help in any way please contact tl1e Secretary 750946 or any committee member.

Bridge Outing A qroup of 20 players orqanised from Nettleham made a one week trip to Buxton P alace Hotel on a SAGA bridqe week, at the end of January 1985. The party consisted

of players who use more than one club, so in addition to Nettlehrun BC there were also representatives of V\elton EC, St Mdrews Church EC, Lincoln Ladies OC and Westqate (Mencap) BC. This last reinq fairly

Memories of

An Old Elm 1904

With gnarled and riven trunk it stood, It's arms thrust to the sky. It sheltered ricks of straw and hay When north west winds were high. Some winteres gale or lightning blast Had struck an arm away, And rain and snow of passing years Had set within decay. It's trunk was but a hollow shell Where barn owls made their nest; From thence to venture out for food When daylight faded west.

The view from off it's topmost boughs Ranged fen and marsh and wold. Eastward in broken lines of white The North Sea breakers rolled. Those white sailed windmills to the north Stood on the wolds first crest. They ground the local farmers corn And rarely seemed to rest. Here whitefleeced sheep dotted the fields Fresh from the shearing pens. Far to the south stood Boston Stump, The signpost of the fens.

Those boyish eyes that viewed with mine That varied rustic scene, Were closed for ever out in France When life was lush and green. Still sometimes in my thoughts we climb In sunny summer weather, And sit astride a swaying bough Of that old elm together, And scan again the green lanes 'round The groves of poplar trees, And hear the songs of myriad birds Come wafting on the breeze.

Remember The Reverend H. George Herrington

The First En�tlish Prince of Wales

aeated at Nettleham, near lJncoln

7th February, 1301.

Dear Etlitor,

On the 7th Dec 1984 The Rev H George Herrington died. Many will remember him as a priest and for his work in and for the church; many for his work I in IDeal Govern- ·I

ment. To George 1 Herrington it was all part of his I ministry: Looking after the whole 1 man, his soul and 1

the environment he lived in.

On the occasion of celebrating George's 25 years as vicar of Nettleham in 1976 many of the projects he had successfully been involved with were mentioned:- The Restoration of the Parish Church in the 1950's, The Library/Health Centre Complex, the purchase of the 'Vicars' Woods, the building of the new Junior School, Linelands, Church View Flats and the bungalows on All Saints Lane for the elderly, together with many others. Afterwards I asked him if there was anything he was particularly proud of achieving that we had missed and he mentioned that Nettleham was the first village in the area to have mains sewerage. George was Vicar of Nettleham from 1951-81, a Nettleham Parish Councillor for 30 years,

I a Councillor for Nettleham on The Lindsey County Council and the welton Rural I District Council and was elected as a founder member of their succesors : The Lincolnshire County Council and The west

1 Lindsey District Council. i May I quote two people from their oamments

David Dubut - Clerk to Nettleham Parish Council.

· "we have suffered an irreplaceable loss of a Churchman and Councillor who gave so much. He played a leading role in every development over the last 30 years. George Herrington was deeply involved with the Linelands Old Peoples Hane, The Church View Warden Flats for the elderly, The Mulsanne Sports Pavilion and and Field and the twinning with Mulsanne. He died in Lincoln County Hospital after collapsing at a Parish Council Meeting. He virtually died in the active public service that had been his life' s work, as he would have wanted".

The Rev Tony Burton - Vicar of Nettleham

"Remember Georqe : A man of unwavering ·faith; a fighter, a controversialist, stubborn to the point of exasperation on occasion; passionately concerned for this whole Community and unsparing in his energies on its behalf in IDeal Government - Bearding the then Minister of Education to ensure that Nettleham School should remain a Church school - battling to make certain that Linelands should be set here, in this loving and caring Community; reaching out to so many, within the Church congreqation, and far beyond it, to touch their lives; enthusiastic for the twinning with Mulsanne; a man of vision - the imaginative reordering of this Church after the fire fifteen years ago bears witness to that; and here may I mention that donations in George's memory are to sort out the tower clock here - Cheques I am asked to say to 'Nettleham Village Clock Fund'; a Ministry of thirty-one years in this place, to a whole generation and more of Nettleham people, after previous Ministries in London, in oakley Square and St Pancras, and in this Diocese at Swineshead and Middle Rasen. So much to remember of George! ".

In his early life George Herrington was a iournalist in Fleet Street. For many years he was a member of the Electoral Reform Society and on its National Cammi ttee. I can well remember him carrying out Youth Club (which he founded) elections by single transferable vote! over 30 years ago. . He encouraged discussion between branches of The Christian Faith, Joint Services with Methodists and on one occasion he celebrated Holy Communion with the R.C.Curie of Mulsanne jointly at the alter in Nettleham. Mulsanne had a Requiem Mass for George at the same time as the Funeral Mass in Nettleham. In this his 80th yea� George would have ce�ebrat� 50 years in the Ministry. He was very interested in local history and established the evidence that the 1st English Prince of Wales was created at Nettleham on 7th February 1301. When the Prince of Wales stamps were issued he produced a 1st day envelope and arranged for a special "Frank" exclusive to Nettleham to be used. The crowds arriving at the Post Office exceeded all expectation and twice Lincoln had to send extra stamps to Nettleham that morning. I will miss his council and friendship but give thanks for his time and service in and

for Nettleham.

Yours sincerely, Malcolm Leaning

The Naturalist Inevitably on occasions our spirits get low, and it was on such a day, when the bleakness of the February afternoon was only rivalled by the state of my post­Christmas bank balance, that I wandered out into the garden.

It was bitterly cold and to escape the biting wind I sought refuge in the greenhouse. The sight that met my eyes did nothing to uplift my soul - an untidy assortment of plant pots, seed trays, labels, packets and all the other bric-a­brac that accumulates during the gardening calendar.

Every year I resolve to have a grand tidy up in autumn and leave the greenhouse in an orderly state ready for that day in early spring when you suddenly realise that the seeds should have b=en in a fortnight ago.

Energetic application of a sweeping brush resulted in a cloud of dust, and I emerged spluttering, to find that the wind had subsided, the sun was out and a blackbird was singing his glorious song from the top of a nearby weeping ash tree.

Waiting for the dust to settle, down the l:::oundary hedge, making note to clip the hawthorn b=fore break revealing the fresh green when suddenly there they were.

"J wandered a mental the buds

rtiAY - Sow runner and dwarf l::eans and all seeds listed b=fore.

Plant cut - Sprouts, caulis, leeks, lettuce and celery. Plant under cloches- cucumbers and marrows. Stake- peas and dwarf b=ans (keep them off the ground) . watch out for pests - Black and green fly and take action.

Harvest - Broccoli and winter cauliflowers should be ready now.

In the dc:1t'bs of the leafless hawtbo:rn hedge, almosc. nidden by the thick ivy through which they had grown, was a group of snowdrops glowing brightly in the wintry sunshine.

They had probably been there for generations, growing unnoticed by anyone year after year, waiting to be discovered again.

The fragile beauty and simple perfection of these exquisite flowers reminded me once again that in the headlong rush of life, it is good to pause occasionally and make time to discover and appreciate the infinite wealth of natural b=auty which surrounds us.

Whether it is the scent of a flower, ·the sound of a birdsong, the colours in a butterfly's wings, the texture of a leaf or the taste of a blackberry, nature provides an ever-changing source of contrast, 3timulation and delight to our senses, tcxjether with a sensation of continuity, purpose and or:" 3r.

So it was that I returned to my task with renewed enthusiasm, knowing that Spring is once again not far av1ay, and another year is beginning to unfold full of hope and pranise.

District Nursing in Your Area

I thouqht this article would be more useful if it was informative, so here qoes.

A District Nurse is a State Reqistered Nurse who has llildertaken further traininq. At the present tL�e, this further training is carried out at a Polytechnic or University and lasts 9 months. An

examination is taken at the end of the Course. The District Nursinq Certificate is awarded.

The nurse is responsible for increasinq her knowledqe and being aware of any new developments by attending lectures, refresher course and readinq the current iournals etc.

District Nursing varies throuqhout the country reqarding the hours there is a nurse on duty. In some large cities there is a nurse on duty 24 hours a day. At the present tbne, in this area, there is a nurse available for 7 hours a day, every day. In the future this may be extended to provide a service in the eveninq.

The Nurse is 'attached' to the Doctors' practice which means she attends all patients registered with the Doctors in that practice. There is also a nursing auxiliary attached to the practice whose services are available throuqh the District Nurse. (The nurse v.Drks a 37 hour week). The District Nurse also ccmnunicates with and refers patients to the Health Visitor, the Social Services (which includes Home Helps and Meals on Wheels), the Psychiatric Caranunity Nurse, the Cniropodist etc if this is helpful to the patient.

The District Nurse can also refer the patient, or acquire extra information, on such conditions as Diabetes, Colostomies, Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis etc from specialist nurses workinq in the Carrmunity. �here is also a Marie Curie Nursing Service dnd a Supplementary �ursing Service available in this area through the District Nurse. This service exists to provide night nursinq or sometimes day nursinq, for very ill or disaoled patients; qivinq help uDd relief to the caring relative or i :r iend. These nurses work for 8 hours a 11; qht and if the patient suffers from a condition due to cancer, the t-E.rie Curie fund pays half the cost. This free service is limited but can be provided fairly intensively wi1en required.

The District Nurse attends all types of illnesses and all age groups. She is 1vailable to undertake treatments and care _ f people in the carrmunity which they are

unable to do for themselves and to provide information and advice when needed to enable the patient to make a complete recovery. The District Nurse is also aware of financial benefits available to patients and is responsible for passing on this information.

The Nurse does not carry drugs; these are obtainable by a prescription from the Doctor. All dressings and bandages etc are also obtained on prescription but the nurse carries a certain amount for emergencies and first visits.

The Nurse has to plan her day regarding the route she will take and the order of visits. This is governed by the type of treatment required; for example, a person requiring an insulin iniection must be one of the first visits on the list or anyone requiring tv.D iniections a day, or the very ill patient. She will endeavour to teach the patient or the caring person of a patient what to do in her absence until the next visit.

The Nurse respects confidentiality and the records of the patients are left in the home and then filed in a locked cabinet at the Health Centre when the Nurse has discharqed the patient.

This area around Nettleham extends from the north end of Lincoln including Riseholme to Stainton-by-Lanqv.Drth. The area also includes Cherry Willingham, Fiskerton, Short Ferry, New ball, Lanqworth, Sudbrooke and Scothern. In all about eleven villages.

In this area the midwifery service is separate from the District Nursing Service and is administered from the Maternity Hospital. In same less populated areas the two functions are still carried out by one Nurse and many District Nurses are also trained Midwives, but this is not a compulsory qualification.

If anyone thinks the nurse could be helpful to them they should contact their Doctor and put their request to him.

Mrs S A Cheves January 1981)

Friends of Linelands What is "Friends of Linelands"? Precisely what it says - a qroup of people who are prepared to befriend the residents of Linelands Old People's Home and to make life a little happier for them. The first meeting took place in June 1982 when it was felt that a qroup such as "Friends of Linelands" would not only benefit the residents, but also help to co-ordinate other services already being qiven to

Linelands from the local community. Thus a valuable link was formed between Linelands and the villaqe. What are the ways in which "Friends of Linelands" operates? A qreat variety of ways as

follows :-

Visitation of Residents

Most of the residents of Linelands are frail and cannot lead normal active lives, so the days can be very long and dull, sittinq down most of the time. Tb receive a visit and have a chat with someone who cares can make their day, particularly for those who do not have any relatives or friends. Such worthwhile action is amply rewarded by th�ir appreciation.

Takinq Residents Out

Taking them out in their wheelchair or in a car, perhaps for shopping in the village, or to one's hane for a cup of tea, or taking t..�em out for a short walk, breaks the monotony of life in the Home. Tb get away from Linelands for a short time makes such a difference.

Events

Regular sherry/scones/cakes morninqs have proved very popular with the residents, when they can get together in one of the attractive dining roams and have a chat. An annual strawberry and cream tea is arranged which is greatly enjoyed. At Christmas time a sherry/mince pie morning is held.

Dear Editor

In reply to Mr Cliff Cooper's "Sour Note" published in the last edition of the Nettleham News.

Having lived in the villaqe for 2 years and Secretary to the Senior Residents Party Fund Committee for only 6 months I don't think he has the knowledge or the insight to make the statements which he made.

As Secretary for 15 years I found the Senior Residents very supportive to the cause, many of them qive donations anonymously. I would like to mention iust two instances. Three pensioners who were unable to attend an autumn fair we held

Entertainments

These have included a musical concert, arranged very kindly by Sheila Turner, with piano duets, a guitarist and soloist. The Ladies Club of Nettleham, also very kindly put on a concert of songs - same of the well known ones of long ago, when the residents were able to join in the choruses. Other musical items with the piano have been 'Your favourite Hymn ' and singing carols, in which the residents participated well.

Outings

Several coach outinqs have been organised by Linelands' staff, in which "Friends of Linelands" have taken part in helping to

push residents round in their wheelchairs, after arri vinq at Flaminqo Zoo, Clunber Park or Skeqness. A mini-bus and driver is now available for use in west Lindsey qenerally and this has been used by "Friends of Linelands" to take same of the residents out to tea at Woodhall Spa and other places. Several Linelands' residents have been taken in their wheelchairs to special church services and carol services. In addition to the above, "Friends of Linelands" qi ve a small gift at Christmas time to residents of Linelands who have no friends or relatives. All residents receive �birthday card and a qift fran "Friends of Linelands" on their birthday. "Friends of Linelands" meet quarterly, usually on a Monday, at 7.30 pn, at Linelands. The next meeting is on 15 April. If you can help or are interested, please cane along to this llEeting or contact either of the following for further information : -

� � Albert Stepney (Chairman) r� 52 Brookfield Avenue - Tel : 751180 tr1,.�:�� Muriel Newman (Secretary) �" 3 Vicarage Lane - Tel : 750109 John Clark (Treasurer) 5 All Saints Lane - Tel : 752772

dropped an envelope through my door containing £3 and apologised for not attending due to the weather not being too qood. Another one made peg bags and sold them giving the proceeds to funds. I have had donations handed to me in super markets and even at the annual party, also does he not realise that about 75% of Senior Residents of today have over the past 21 years contributed in one way or another to funds.

I know a new broom sweeps clean but not so clean that 21 years of hard work is swept away.

Chris Helson was Nettleham's first venturer. Through some freak of the selection procedure Nettleham has been inflicted with a second, there are only five in Lincolnshire.

F�ch venturer must raise £1400 to enable a venturer from the Third World to join Operation Raleigh, plus the cost of personal equipment currently £400-£600.

My fund raising at present is manifested in three methods: a charity disco, a raffle and sponsorship. The raffle has taken me

two months to organise. In that period I have raised £500 worth of prizes from shops in Lincoln. The first prize is a 7 day holiday in Spain, the second a TV video game. With nearly 30 prizes I think the tickets should sell reasonably well. If you're interested in either buying or selling some raffle tickets I would be more than pleased to hear from you. The raffle draw will take place "live" on Radio Lincolnshire on March 25th at 4.30 ):In.

As an aside if anyone or group is interested in hearing more about Operation Raleigh I would be pleased to give a talk. It really is a chance of a lifetime and I

·would hate to think anyone missed out because they didn' t know about it.

Finally, I would just like to thank everyone who has assisted me. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Andrew Robshaw.

Worship with Mother . \�ORSHIP \.JITH �!OTHER on the first and thiru Tuesdays of each month, at 2 pm, in the Parish Church of All Saints'. Everyone is welcome, especially children from 0 upwards. We have a short, informal Service, after which there is a cup of tea and a biscuit (orange squash for the children) and a

chance to meet and chat, ending in plenty of time to collect older children from School.

This is "ecumenical" - you are welcome, whether you are of any Christian denomination, or of none. And when we say "Worship with Mother", of course Fathers are welcome, too. Some may like to bring their child's own muP, or beaker for the squash.
