WELCOME to the April edition of Teme Triangle. Spring is definitely in the
air and with it comes news of sporting activities, of summer events and changes
in our community…..which is often a welcome opportunity to revisit and refresh.
Talking of which TT has a new Facebook page….read on!
But first a little flag waving in Clifton.
COMMONWEALTH FLAG RAISED IN CLIFTON
The flag of the Commonwealth of Nations was raised in Clifton on
Commonwealth Day in March at a special ceremony outside St Kenelm’s
Church attended by children from Clifton Primary School and the High Sheriff
of Worcestershire, Sir Anthony Winnington.
The flag was raised by three of the schoolchildren: Olivia Griffiths, Toby Gilmour
and Bill Ling, all from Eagles’ Class.
The Commonwealth Affirmation was read by local resident, 92-year-old Charles
Knowles. The ceremony was one of 850 similar flag-raising ceremonies held
throughout Britain.
MARK’S 500 MILE HIKE FOR CHARITY
Clifton’s Mark Stevens will be setting out in May on a 500 mile hike along one
of the world’s oldest pilgrimage routes, from southern France to Santiago de
Compostela in northern Spain, to raise nearly £5,000 for Marie Curie Cancer
Care.
“I’m starting the month long walk on 13th May “ he told us, “and I have to walk
the 500 miles over the 30 days completing nearly a marathon each day, in order
to make my flight home.” Mark has been training since Christmas 2014. “My
aim is to raise at least £4,460, which is the amount it costs to pay for every
Marie Curie nurse in the UK for one hour. When my father passed away he
received really good care in hospital so I asked my mother who to raise money
for and she wanted the money to go to an organisation that cared for people with
a terminal illness.”

UPPER SAPEY KEEP FIT
The Keep Fit group at Upper Sapey Village Hall on Monday mornings welcomes
both men and women who want to do more than armchair exercises but are
not able to undertake strenuous exercises.
The group is led by physiotherapist Angela Lane who is very mindful of any
aches and pains experienced by individuals. “It’s not competitive but very
friendly, with the focal points being stretching, posture, balance and muscle
tone,” says Angela.
For more information, telephone Angela on 01684 564334 or join the group on
Monday mornings at 10.30am at Upper Sapey Village Hall.
There are other Keep Fit classes of various sorts at Abberley Village Hall, Great
Witley Village Hall and other venues so you have no excuse at all!

MORE MUSIC IN THE TEME VALLEY
VOLANTE STRINGS
On Friday 6th May Volante Strings will be giving a light classical concert at 7:30
pm at St. Mary’s Church at Stanford-on-Teme.
The orchestra is a group of twelve or so string players who regularly give
concerts at home and occasionally abroad. They perform without a conductor
and enjoy playing a variety of music from different centuries right up to the
current day. Their concerts are renowned for appealing to a wide audience and
also for the delight they give through their sensitive interpretations of the music.
The concert on 6th May will include the trumpet concerto by Neruda. This most
attractive work is packed full of good tunes. The soloist will be Francis Sinfield
who is the grandson of Angela Richey (Haigh) who with Megan Webb founded
Volante Strings seventeen years ago. The orchestra will also be playing works
by Dvorak and Elgar, and some lively Tangos.
Tickets are £12.50 each with students under 18 free and include interval
refreshments. To book your place contact 01299 896771 or email
[email protected] All welcome. St Mary’s Church is on the B4203
Stourport to Bromyard road about one mile towards Bromyard from Stanford
Bridge and has a car park.

THE NEW CLIFTON-UPON-TEME HANDBELL RINGERS
invite you to enjoy a tea, coffee and cake morning
Saturday 16th April 10.00am- 12 noon at Clifton Village Hall
Enjoy coffee/tea and a slice of cake. Plus a cake stall and a raffle.
And we shall be playing the bells for you all to hear!
THE HISTORY OF THE RINGERS
The original group was founded 39 years ago and played a set of handbells
borrowed from Shelsley Church - encouraged by Rev. Donald Heggie, the then
Vicar at St Kenelm’s. A few years later, when these bells had to be returned to
the church, the group rallied together and bought their own set of bells.
Fundraising events reimbursed each group member their original outlay.
American bells were purchased as these were available in six months, whereas
bells from an English foundry would take three years, such was the waiting list.
Since then, the group have purchased more bells and look forward to the old
and new teams joining forces and playing all these bells.
A year ago, five new members approached us and asked if they could learn to
play. We were so pleased.
Now, as we extend our repertoire, we are looking for opportunities and venues
at which to play. We have already played at the Talbot Christmas Fair at
Knightwick, at Clifton and Martley Carol Services, and at Councillor Barbara
Williams Civic Service in February at Martley Church. At each event we received
some very encouraging compliments, and enquiries about future bookings - all
very exciting! As well as purchasing new music to keep the new players happy,
the bells need costly maintenance and TLC. Therefore, we are planning some
more fund raising events. Thank you for your support!

Church Matters
with Jen Denniston
WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER:
The Flag swayed, calypso played… at St Kenelm’s, we
joined the global day of 24/7 prayer for Cuba, and celebrated in style. White
jasmine flowers, maracas, lanterns, a smattering of Spanish, singing new songs,
cakes, coffee… and lots of people who joined in to make it a very special
morning.
With churches across the benefice, and around the world, we remembered the
Women of Cuba who kept the church and faith alive when priests were
conscripted, or emigrated, under communism. We learned how Christian values
underpin society there, and why the prayers of women matter.
Two guest speakers, Janet Hann and Janet Lawrence from Clifton, spoke of
their recent visits to Cuba – of the warmth and friendliness of the islanders’
welcome, and the creativity of the local women without many resources.
We remembered how, in many cultures, women and children were regarded as
chattels and, even now, can be second-class citizens. On the theme, chosen by
Cuban women, ‘Receive Children, Receive Me’, we reflected on how Jesus
accepts and loves us just as we are. Everyone is precious to God, regardless
of age, gender, colour, religion, status… each of us is unique. Just as we are
open to children and welcome them, we are invited to put aside cynicism and
pre-conceptions and be open to Jesus.
It was a lovely day of prayer and celebration. Many thanks to all who contributed
in such a variety of ways to make it special.
The future for our churches - could you help to keep them open?

LOWER SAPEY NEWS with Margaret Griffiths
Winter is still with us and we have had some pleasant sunny days recently, but
sadly, it hasn’t warmed the garden soil up enough to work on yet and the
ploughed fields look quite wet still. The very damp winter seems to have been
good for moles though, as they are flourishing in our garden. Has anyone a
fool-proof method of getting rid of them - for ever! However, the cricket season
is round the corner, something I so look forward to and the daffodils are looking
lovely in many gardens.
We had a vibrant and enjoyable ‘Songs of Praise’ service in St Bartholomew’s
Church recently, with everyone choosing their favourite hymns and readings
and Jane Dallow, our local poet, read us two of her poems. Before the service,
we enjoyed two afternoons of informal singing practice at ‘The Hope’, with tea
and cake. These were great fun. Thanks go to Candy who organised these and
to Dot for also helping with the service. We are so lucky in our village to have
a wealth of talent in our midst and indeed, to have such a friendly community.
Our Church is the focal point and the threat of it being closed concerns us all.
Surely this cannot happen.
NOTICES
Flowers for April will be in the hands of Marion West and cleaning of the
Church will be looked after by Suzanne Richards.
For Easter, we would appreciate it if our ladies (or gentlemen?) decorated a
window as usual in the Church.
Our Mobile Library will call on Friday March 15th at 10.20 and 10.40am
Our Ladies Bible Group for April will be in the home of Margaret Griffiths on
April 12th.
We are now starting a new study course, looking at 100 selected Bible
readings and also lives of some of the Saints.

A LOCAL QUEST – CAN YOU HELP?
Robin Fidoe who lives in Bristol is appealing for help in identifying two photos,
which he believes are of his ancestors. His family originates from this area and
he has made numerous visits here but has now come to a dead end. These
photos are, he says, highly significant in his research. Can anyone help? If so
contact Robin on Mob 07711 903301, email [email protected]
The Soldier The uniform is a British Army
overseas non battle dress dated post WW1.
The details on the back of the photograph
probably relate to the portrait gallery as they
are not recognised army numbers. The
wording is ‘ Worcester W 71319 Pritchard
111Y8 urgent’ portrait by Horace Dudley
165 High Street, West Bromwich. The
picture has been advertised in the Black
Country Bugle and has been seen by The
Mercian Regiment Museum Worcestershire
but to no avail. PRITCHARD has to be the
soldier’s surname so can anyone recognise
him?
16
The Gentleman This photo was probably
taken somewhere between 1911 - 1920.
Surname could be Davis or Davies with
possible link to Menithwood / Pensax or
Knighton upon Teme.

DRAFT ABBREVIATED MINUTES OF THE SHELSLEYS PARISH COUNCIL
MEETING HELD ON MARCH 8TH 2016
Present: Councillors Mr C Roberts (Chairman), Mr W Sutherland, MR D Styles, Mr D
Bates, Mr B Hart, Mr J Stinton, Mr M Whitefoot County Councillor Dr Pollock and the
clerk.
Apologies: Mr T Taylor, Mrs C Warren and District Councillor Mrs Palethorpe.
Declaration of Interest: None.
Minutes: The minutes for January 8th were approved as a true record and signed.
Public Question Time: None. County Councillor’s report: County Councillor’s
Report:
Dr Pollock expanded on the written report circulated before the meeting.
1 Superfast Broadband. This will be rolled out to 90% of the county by June. Some of
the properties in Shelsley Kings on the Great Witley cabinet will be able to apply for
superfast broadband then but for properties in Shelsley Beauchamp and Shelsley Walsh
it will not be available until 2017.
Fibre will be connected to the Shelsley Walsh cabinet at some point enabling those within
one mile to have superfast broadband.
2 Speeding. It was suggested that a 30 mph speed limit be imposed at Shelsley Walsh
in the same manner as the other two wards of the Shelsleys. Failing that a temporary
speed limit be imposed on Hill Climb event days. Another suggestion was suggested
advisory speed limit signs. A police presence on event days may also deter speeding.
3 B4203. Two stretches of the B4203 have been resurfaced, the area in front of The
Green is on the list to be resurfaced. There is also concern about the safety of the rippled
edges below Stirt Farm.
4 Ham and New Mill bridges are in a bad state with accumulated rubbish.
5 Mud on roads caused by farmers and contractors not clearing it from the roads. The
Clerk had contacted WCC to ascertain whose responsibility it was the clean the road.
Councillors were asked to identify dangerous muddy conditions which will be reported
to WCC.
Dr Pollock will investigate further on points 1, 2 and 3 and inform the Parish Council of
progress. District Councillor’s Report: A written report from Councillor Palethorpe was
circulated before the meeting. This included items on the adoption of the SWDP which
includes plans for 28,400 new homes. MHDC Syrian Refugee FAQs page. LEADing
Rural Business Programme.
Highways: The Lengthsman’s worksheets were inspected and approved.
The overhanging trees near the quarry have been reported by a parishioner to WCC.
WCC will write to the owner requesting they be removed. Double yellow lines by the
quarry. The landowner asked for the PC to again investigate the possibility of placing
yellow lines to deter parking at the quarry but it was agreed that this would be
inappropriate in the rural setting.
Road surface and culvert Old Lane. The culvert has been repaired by WCC. The grit bin
at Kingswood House is empty and needs to be made level. The Lengthsman will be
asked to look at this.
B4203 There has been one reported accident. There is debris remaining from a previous
accident still on the verge.
Litter: Clean for the Queen, it was understood that the PCC was organising a litter pick.
Lay by on B4203. MHDC at the request of the PC cleared the lay by of all litter and
suggested that a litter bin be placed there which would be emptied by the regular weekly
waste collecting service. It was decided not to purchase a bin and that if and when the

NEWS FROM LAST MONTH’S MEETING OF CLIFTON PARISH COUNCIL:
Residents in Kenelm Road and Kenelm Close are to be consulted about plans
to cut down the willow tree at the junction of both roads. The tree’s roots have
caused blocked drains in the neighbourhood.
A defibrillator is to be housed in the Pavilion.
CLIFTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
The draft version of the Neighbourhood Plan for Clifton upon Teme was formally
approved by the Parish Council last month (March) and a series of public
consultation events have since been held at which copies of the Plan were
made available for local residents to look at and comment on.
Helen Winer, Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, said she was
pleased with the response to the latest draft of the Plan. “We have had some
very encouraging feedback from parishioners but we urge everyone to take a
moment to comment on it and let us have their feedback,” she added.
CLIFTON PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES
Due to a change in administrative arrangements the Clifton Parish Council’s
formal Minutes will, from now on, be published later than is practicable for
Teme Triangle and so will be posted on the Parish Council website rather
than in printed form. We shall however endeavour to keep you abreast of
important issues that are raised, in our news section. For Minutes go to:
www.temetriangle.net - then go to the Parish council page.
Shelsleys’ Parish Council minutes will continue to be published by us in draft
abbreviated form immediately after meetings.
ST KENELM’S CHURCH FLOWER FESTIVAL – ADVANCE NOTICE
Open Gardens and Mini Flower Festival on the first weekend in July
Please put these dates in your diaries: Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July 2016.
As before, we shall offer a ‘trail’ on the Saturday down the Old Road. Parking
at the New Inn, for those not able to walk far, is available this time and already
booked. (However, please remember to patronise the pub afterwards if you do
park there!)
On Sunday Clifton Village will open up gardens large and small and the whole
weekend will end with The Friends’ Tea Party at Ayngstree – for all those who
support the work of St Kenelms in whatever way.
We’ll hopefully be arranging a jolly for the Saturday evening too – watch out for
more details. Alice Sumner

COULD YOU HELP SAVE ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH?
This winter we have had several large funerals at All Saints’ in
Shelsley Beauchamp, we have welcomed a local family for the
baptism of their children and later this year my own daughter is to
be married. All these events bring the community together in
different ways.
Sadly this month discussions have begun to decide what will happen in our
churches when John and Alice Sumner retire in September. One thing is for
sure John will not be replaced by a priest. John told us:
“The theme of death and resurrection goes all though Christianity and indeed
all through life and this maybe happening right now in Shelsley Beauchamp.
The old team of church wardens and Parochial Church Council members,
worthy and hardworking as they were, is retiring or moving on and church
attendances are regularly in single figures. The future is uncertain and we will
soon have a vacuum which will threaten the legal and spiritual existence of All
Saints, though it may still function for festivals.”
“However a vacuum can create a space where new ideas and new people can
feel free to step up.”
“The tasks can be shared and include:
Treasurer
Buildings advisor
Church warden to head a team (not needing to do everything themselves).
Members of a welcome team.”
“Oh and we pray and sing hymns too – that’s rather important!”
Most local activities now operate on a rota system, as people have less and
less time; church cleaning, flower rotas, Neighbourhood Watch.
Teme Triangle itself has a team of guest editors so that no one person has to
commit every month.
You may have never thought of volunteering to help but please consider it now,
if you want your church community to survive.
Just a little time given by a group of people could ensure that our local church
can continue to bring us together. For more information contact:
