REMINDER
For many years the barrier to the entrance of the Somerton Road car park has been locked at dusk to
prevent overnight parking. The car park is for the use of people using the playing field and not for
general residents parking. Recently some cars have been parked there at night causing problems with
locking the gate. The gate will be locked at dusk and if a car is left in the car park there is a risk that it
could be locked in all night since there is a sign saying ‘No overnight parking’. The gate is locked to
prevent overnight camping on the car park.
The new Editor of the Newsletter is our Parish Clerk, Sarah Hynd. Contact email address remains the
same, however her phone number is 07918 978921

Elizabeth 1st vowed to have a bath once a month but because of bad diets & hygiene Cholera & Typhoid killed many people so infact soap was a great reformer to wipe out these diseases.

We have had to find somewhere else to store the Lifeboat and after a very long and pretty fruitless search, the Edward Birkbeck will very soon be moved to a private garden where. unfortunately, there will not be public access for the foreseeable future. But please don't forget about us! We will be moving our immediate focus to trying to achieve our own Heritage Centre to house her on a permanent basis alongside a display of village heritage. We are intending to become a Registered Charity which should help us be taken more seriously by other organisations and we will look to set up an online donations system, register for Gift Aid and start searching for Grant funding for the new building. If you want to know more, check out our website, join us on Facebook, call or e-mail us.

The Holyway, Winterton-on-Sea, Norfolk, NR29 4BP
Winterton Primary School & Nursery has been working closely with a school in France over the past three years. We have shared lessons by videoconference, set up a pen-pal program, hosted teacher exchanges and taken part in a joint residential trip to Paris in the Spring of 2011. The Ecole Jean de la Fontaine is a similar sized school to ours, set in the village of Vabres l’Abbaye which nestles in the rolling countryside of the department of Aveyron, mid-way between the Pyrenees and The Alps. It is a very rural area where the majority of the inhabitants are employed in agriculture, specifically the rearing of the sheep whose milk is made into the famous Roquefort cheese.
I have been lucky enough to visit the school twice, most recently in August of this year. We are planning another joint residential trip for 2014/15 with the French school but this time we will be staying somewhere in England together. The partnership is growing and strengthening each year and it is something that we all value as a means of giving our children a wide range of educational and cultural experiences.
While in France this summer, I was introduced to the mayor of Vabres l’Abbaye and one of his advisers. They were very interested in looking into the possibility of twinning our two villages which would then hopefully give rise to further opportunities for cultural exchanges between members of our two communities. I would like to know if there is sufficient interest in Winterton to further investigate the possibility of a twinning project. Sarah Hynd has very kindly offered to look into the protocol for undertaking such a project and she would really like to hear your views on this proposal, as would I.
I believe it is a rare and exciting opportunity for the children of Winterton Primary School & Nursery and their families and I look forward to hearing if this is something with which the village would like to move forward.

Rectors Ramblings
I love harvest time and the changing colours of autumn. It is a season that conjures up many of my fondest childhood
memories; building straw bale houses (when bales where rectangular), stubble-bomb fights (good natured), using willow
sticks to catapult crab apples, trudging over ploughed fields and many, many more. The days before elfin safety! I
remember collecting fallen branches to make ready the community bonfire for fireworks night, the smell of baked spuds,
oxtail soup; memories, and so many of them, becoming ever distant, but still there.
More recent memories are the wonderful events that you have managed to mastermind in our villages: traditional village
fetes, meals together, outdoor services, concerts, craft fayres and much, much more. Times when villages truly become
dynamic and vibrant, when communities come together to support each other and when we can truly say that rural life is
alive, God is in His heaven and all is well!
It never ceases to amaze me how much rural folk offer with little thanks or recognition; doing Christ’s work often without
even knowing it, unsung heroes or perhaps, more aptly, unsung saints. I guess theirs are lives that really do sing-out the
Christian message of neighbourly love in which the whole imperative of Christian mission is founded and acted-out. The
atrocities in Syria have been comprehensively reported over the past days and many of us will have looked at the images of
children and ordinary citizens suffering from the effects of alleged chemical warfare. The hurt, pain and suffering are
unimaginable to many of us. But whilst we do not engage in such atrocities in this country we do, as individuals have
immense capacity to hurt each other and cause great pain and suffering through the simple things – words, actions and
thoughts. Love your neighbour as you would wish to be loved – neighbourly love and unsung saints…worth a thought?
Harvest is a time of thanksgiving for the richness of God’s bounty given to us freely through His love for each one of us. It is
a time in the year when we can celebrate that love and our care for others around us. Autumn is a season for eyes to be re-
touched with changing vision of colours. It is time we as individuals, communities (including churches) and nations looked
once again at that love and globally, started to reinstate God’s once and for all time giving of His Son Jesus Christ, wasn’t
that enough?
Let me end with this poem by Ian M Fraser:
The saints of God are down our street and round God’s throne of light.
There’s some with formidable minds and some just live aright: together in God’s family their different gifts unite.
Their efforts gain no accolades, they simply earn that grace
which heals the world of many sores, renews its battered face-
through such who live and love and care in their own time and place.
They serve at checkouts, empty bins; they teach and make and mend;
they feed the hungry back from school, the victimised defend;
to voiceless folk they lend an ear and immigrants befriend.
When death comes knocking at their door they’ll look at Christ askance – how could such ordinary lives his Kingdom ends advance?
But Christ will say “It’s party time – come, friends, and join my dance.”
God bless
Revd Eoin Buchanan

WINTERTON ON SEA PARISH COUNCIL
Nine residents were welcomed to the Parish Council meeting held on Thursday 19th September 2013 together with Cllr
Weymouth
1. Public discussion:
A Resident enquired when the top of King Street was going to be repaired. The Chairman confirmed that Highways are looking into this (and other Highways issues in the village). The Chairman and Clerk will meet with Robert West (Highway Engineer Norfolk County Council) on Wednesday 25
th September to discuss all the
outstanding issues, including a visit to King Street to survey the damage.
A Resident questioned why a planning application approved by the Parish Council for a property in Winterton has now been refused by the Borough council. The resident questioned whether planning applications are looked at. The Chairman confirmed that all planning applications are reviewed but that timing is an issue as the Borough set a time limit of two weeks for review and comments to be received. Although the Parish Council request extensions if the deadline is prior to the Parish Council Meeting, extensions are rarely granted by GYBC.
A Resident asked why the Village has two websites. The Chairman confirmed that most of the Parish Council information is posted on to the www.winterton-on-sea.net site (the official village website run by a webmaster) and that the www.winterton-on-sea.com website is run by a resident and that the Parish Council has no control over the content of this site.
2. To receive a report from the County/Borough Councillors
Cllr Weymouth stated that you can contact the Planning Departments regarding Planning Applications and deadlines for comments, but generally deadlines are not extended.
3. To receive a report from the PCSO: -
The PCSO was not present but the Chairman noted that there were four reported crimes: An attempted break-in at the Cricket Pavilion - Somerton Road, a burglary at a property on the Holway where computers and other items were stolen. A burglary at a property on the Somerton Road where tools were taken and a theft from the Bush Road area where items were stolen from a washing line.
In addition there were 22 routine calls to the police.
4. Planning Applications:

onion, finely
chopped
1 garlic clove,
crushed
650g frozen petits
pois
750ml vegetable
stock
6 rashers streaky
bacon
1 tbsp butter,
optional
Method
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and
gently cook over a medium heat for 5-6 mins until

Return the soup to the pan and add the remaining
petit pois. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins or

then stir in the butter, if using. Break the bacon

The soup can be made up to a day ahead; just grill
the bacon on the day.
