Elvet Richards of Marton would like to say a Big Thank You to
everyone who attended
and kindly gave donations, gifts and cakes at the celebration
party held for his 90th Birthday at Marton Village Hall in January.
Donations totalling £1,020 will
be shared between Sands Charity, Welsh Air Ambulance and
Trelystan
Church.
The Castle Belles concert on Sunday 26th November was a grand
evening, playing to a packed church and thoroughly enjoyed by the
whole audience. Many thanks to everyone who worked hard to make
this concert such a success.The event raised £1,117 for Holy
Trinity Church and Leighton Village Hall
-
Hereford Cathedral will be playing host this spring to a
remarkable display - the cascade of thousands of ceramic poppies
arranged by Paul Cummins, artist and Tom Piper, designer, following
the famous display at the Tower of London in 2014. This dramatic
installation is touring the country, and it will be a major feature
of the life of Hereford Cathedral and city from 14th March to 29th
April.
That’s a phrase that applies as much to church buildings as to
any other utility. While our parishes here are vacant, we need to
be thinking hard about the viability, the needs and the potential
of each of our churches. I feel sure that Holy Trinity, Leighton is
a church with some real potential. As a building, it’s interesting,
slightly quirky but very attractive and usable. It’s in good order
and well cared for, and it serves a community that, though somewhat
spread out and scattered, is I believe the largest in population
terms within the Chirbury Group. But just now it is a bit lacking
in church population! Average numbers on a Sunday are a lot less
than when I first got to know the place, and that’s not so long
ago. A bit of not very scientific research on my part suggests that
that’s not so much because fewer people come as because people are
coming less often. There are all sorts of reasons for this, and
somewhere among them is the simple truth that we’re all getting
older. But as a church we are I think at risk of losing vigour and
(for want of a better word) oomph to a degree that it can’t be
recovered. It’s a bit like what happens when you ease off the
accelerator while driving a large wagon up hill — you get to a
point where the engine can’t pick up again and you come to a halt,
you stall. Now that’s maybe not the best place to be, if we want to
attract a young and enthusiastic new parish priest!For a church to
flourish and grow a subtle change of emphasis is needed; from an
image of church as
primarily a building that people come to, to mostly seeing
church as a community of people who meet as a worshipping
fellowship. With that in mind, if you think of yourself as a
churchgoer or church supporter, please do consider this Lent how
you could make a greater commitment to our church life. After
Easter and through the summer, I hope to arrange some special
services, including praise services featuring favourite hymns and
the stories behind them: services we can invite people to. And I am
very much open to suggestions: what could or should we change, what
could we do better, what kinds of services should we have? Who
might we invite? Perhaps we need an open meeting (preferably with
cake) so that everyone has the chance to say their piece . . .What
does the future hold for Holy Trinity Church? Would you be happy
just to have the building there looking beautiful (which it
certainly does), or would you rather see a church that is being
both used and useful at the heart of this village community, not
just now, but for years to come?
Lots of visitors are expected, and those who have seen the
installation in other places speak of its power to move and
challenge, as a reminder of the many lives given in sacrifice for
truth and justice and peace, particularly during the Great War
1914-18, but also throughout the course of human history. I’m
hoping to arrange a trip after Easter - please look out for
details.

Hoping for signs of Spring sometime soon, birds feature in
several places in this months issue. The tricky Name That Bird Quiz
is on
page 7 — great fun and we only managed to get all birds with a
joint effort. Here’s the first clue: none of
the birds on the cover are the ones to be discovered in the
quiz. So sorry to all you twitchers
who thought it was going to be surprisingly easy!The key to the
quiz is “say what you see”— some answers you’ll get immediately -
others may be infuriating. Think you’ve got all 12 — then send in
your results for a mention next month when the answers will be
revealed.Distribution of printed copies of the newsletter rely on a
hard working team of 18 volunteers. Before we took over the editing
we were always grateful when Peter Kenyon brought our copy to the
top of Long Mountain. But do you know who delivers your copy?
Unless you’re outside at the time, you may never know. Recently
we’ve heard of a few glitches in the arrangements — copies not
arriving or even being duplicated. Please look at the list of
distributors and their general areas on page 10. If you know of
anyone missing out let us know the area involved and we’ll get an
extra copy added to the appropriate round.The 100 Club launch
(which has been delayed by bad weather and dreadful ‘flu) will be
started by the Village Hall Committee at Eva & Dylan's Coffee
Morning this month and then at the Playgroup Coffee Morning in
April and other village events thereafter. The club will now run
from March to March (rather than calendar year) and winners names
printed in the following month’s newsletter.

Congratulations to our very own Sports Personality. Hockey
International Fergus Stephens was recently awarded the
Montgomeryshire Under 18’s Sports Personality of the Year. An
international sportsman whilst still a teenager and he has a
wonderful personality too, WIN WIN and all the promise of far more
trophies to come. Fergus’s parents Di and Rod of Lower House are no
doubt very proud of his achievements as are we all in the
village.
It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Betty
Potter and we send our best wishes to James and Jean along with
Debbie and Charlotte and the Potter family.
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Ralph
Mills. Ralph was involved in all aspects of village life,
especially the Community Council and along with his late wife
Stella he started up the very successful Leighton Handbell Ringers
troupe. Our thoughts are with his daughter Diana and all the family
at this sad time.
If you heard the Leighton church bells ringing on Saturday 10th
February it was done as a mark of respect to Bert Jones who died
recently at the grand age of 97 and was a bell ringer here for over
60 years. Bert had lived nearly all of his life in the village as
his family moved up to Church House when he was a young lad. After
leaving Leighton School he worked at the AI Centre at the Home Farm
(now converted to the Stud) and then he met and married his late
wife Joan and settled in Eryl where their daughter Gillian was
born. Bert was involved in the Church, the Community Council, The
Air Gun Club, the Bowling Club in fact very little went on in the
village over all those decades that Bert wasn’t involved in. Local
history was his great interest and he had an encyclopaedic
knowledge of the area and to his great credit in his late 80’s he
welcomed technology and studied the internet for background
information on all the many village boys and men tragically killed
in the world wars whose names are listed on our war memorial in the
Churchyard, lest we forget. Bert was one of a family of 10 children
and the Jones’s farmed at Church House on the top of Trelystan. At
that time, just a couple of fields away farming at the Stubb Farm
were the Bayliss family who had 14 children. To the other side just
a couple of fields away was Monksfield farm and the Roberts family
with their 10 children. Three farmhouses on the top of the Long
Mountain containing 34 children! Bert, his siblings and the 14
Bayliss children all walked by themselves down to Leighton School
and back up home again each day taking short cuts along various
woodland tracks. All ages walking in all weathers and in
wintertime
sometimes in darkness. Several other farming families on
Trelystan also walked down to Leighton school and at the end of the
school day had the long, tiring plod back up the hill. You were all
such a hardy bunch and we salute you one and all. Likewise the 10
Roberts children walked down to Buttington School each day and back
up
the steep Welsh Harp Hollow. One of the Roberts family was
Leonard whose sad passing at the
age of 89 was recorded in last month’s Newsletter.
The winters of Bert’s youth were incredibly severe, and
consequently memorable, with the family often completely cut off
for weeks thriving from what must have been the cavernous larders
of their resourceful Mother who cooked up all her home-
grown produce and home-made preserves to feed the masses.
(No
snowploughs or Sainsbury’s then.) After one of the worst
snowfalls the Prisoners of
War from the Buttington Camp were ordered up onto the mountain
each day and for weeks they had to dig down through the enormous
drifts to create the narrowest of footpaths along the length of the
mountain road. This winter we have experienced heavy snow and still
the winters are a great deal harder up on Trelystan than down in
the valley but thankfully we don’t have snowfall as deep as
yesteryear and nor do we have POW’s. In Bert’s memory we will
treasure all of these stories and we send our support to Bert’s
daughter Gillian and her family along with Mott, Gwynne, Emrys and
all the Jones clan.
Grateful thanks to Paul Wragg Sykes for the super work he has
carried out on the roof of the village Play House ensuring that it
will survive this winter weather. The children of Leighton give you
a cheer!

It was good to hear our woodpecker hammering away a few weeks
ago.The hammer effect needs incredible physiological engineering to
produce the impact needed from such a small bird. We know the
hammering is to release insect food from the bark of the tree. But
it’s now thought the hammering noise may also serve as a male
mating call. The duration and frequency of the hammer could
indicate the best mate to provide food for the offspring.
BIRDS AS PROBLEM SOLVERS, TOOL MAKERS & GAME PLAYERS?A small
girl in Seattle USA has a collection of more than a 100 shiny gifts
presented to her by the local crows she feeds regularly. They know
the kind of things she collects and drop their offerings on the
lawn when they see her outside.The derogatory term “bird-brain” was
derived not only from the small size but also a misinterpretation
of which part of the avian brain may produce higher skill
functions.The brightest birds are members of the the parrot and
crow families. Crows and Cockatoos are definitely able to shape
tools specifically to extract food. A well known grey parrot called
Alex knew dozens of sounds for colours, objects numbers and shapes
and also the abstract concept of zero. It was accepted that the
parrot was
able to use the words
LESS OF THEBIRD-BRAIN
PLEASE
A study at the University of Vienna has shown cockatoos problem
solving. They worked out how to open a series of five different
types of lock - in the correct order - to reach the nut treat
inside the box. Having learnt the sequence they will quickly adapt
to a new arrangement or change to the lock mechanism. Keas, alpine
parrots from New Zealand, worked out that to retrieve treats inside
a tower they had cooperate by pulling chains on each side at the
same time.
Search “Crow sledding“on YouTube. This bird uses a plastic lid
to sledge down a snowy roof. At the end of the run it picks up the
lid and tests another point at the top of the roof - not as good so
it goes back to sledge down the first one again
in the correct context.

Eva and Dylan’s Marathon ChallengeMany of you have known Eva and
Dylan since they were tots running down the road to school and now
they are running down the road training for their upcoming London
Marathon race. They are, along with their sister Alice, the
children of Tony and Jane Walton, Cilfryn and of course the
grandchildren of Roma. They were born here in Leighton and have
sent in a couple of items to update you on what they are up to
now.
You may know this already from Holly’s previous great effort but
the London Marathon is 26.2 miles long and over 50,000 people will
be running in it on 22nd April along the streets of London. Many
more people than this apply and so there’s a ballot system that
allots places to all runners of all abilities. As you will see on
the TV coverage the determination and dedication of some
competitors is both inspiring and humbling in equal measure. The
runners are made up of professional athletes, club runners and also
charity runners (the camp we fall into) who will just be happy to
finish the run alive and on the same day that they started! Each
charity runner pledges to personally raise £1,500 each for their
chosen charity and in order to eliminate any fraud there are checks
on the money raised by each runner and it is then sent on to the
named charity. 100% of the money raised goes to the chosen charity
and in our case its the Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry. Thanks
again for your support.

Eva. I am now 29 (no I don’t know how that happened either), am
married to Jamie and we have three children Martha 8, Nansi 6 and
Chester 2. I am Oral Surgery Lead Nurse for Powys CDS and am based
at Llandrindod Hospital and Newtown Clinic. We live in Llanfair and
my interests are running, occasionally competing alongside Alice
and Dylan at Triathlons. I am involved in local charities and enjoy
all aspects of design. The NHS is very close to my heart and the
Orthopaedic Hospital specialises in some amazing work that benefits
everyone so thank you all for helping me raise the £1500. I am
trying to come to terms with the fact that my little brother can
now run faster than me but I know my family will be there cheering
me along.
Dylan. I am 25, a builder and live in Arddleen with my
girlfriend Chloe. My interests are running, cycling, Triathlons,
rugby, football and as much travel as we can manage. I enjoy the
Marathon training and was prepared for the demanding schedule but I
didn’t quite appreciate
how hard it would be to raise the £1500 but to date I have
organised a Casino evening in Oswestry and I am amazed at the
donations people have already sent me. Obviously the Orthopaedic is
such an important hospital and just down the road so people want to
support it. Thank you everyone, I will do my best. See you at the
Coffee Morning.

My Garden
We have heard of that little grey home
in the West
And the street that runs up hill and down.
We are all of us sick
of each cobble and brick
In that quaint little old-fashioned town.
They have sung of each mouse
in that old fashioned house,
But no one has written a line,
of the beetles and bugs
And the snails and the slugs,
in this old fashioned garden of mine.
