YESTERYEAR…….
NATIVITY PLAY
Thank you to all who participated in this amazing reenactment of the Nativity, which was quite awesome:
God surely answered our prayers for a fine night and
every aspect of the event was wonderful. The actors,
adult and young folk, really entered into the story:
the church was filled from the start, for the first
scene and by the time we reached the village hall for
the centurian`s announcement, the crowd was really
entering into the spirit of the occasion with
impassioned boos and calls for a willing donkey!
And then we turned and saw the Maji approaching
from afar, down the hill, and we all drew aside for
them to give their gifts and worship the king.
It really was a magnificent portrayal of the Christmas
story and one which many suggested could only be
done in Trusham, with such enthusiasm, participation
and good spirit.
We then all went back to the Cridford, which now had
room for everyone, and were fed and „watered‟ and
enjoyed singing of carols, led by Janet on the piano.
Thank you, Ian and Tracey.
Many congratulations to Pat Smethurst for an
inspired script and directing a brilliant cast. And
thanks to all who participated in many different ways
to make it so moving and memorable. Angela Cameron
TRUSHAM CHURCH CHRISTMAS CARDS
Thank you to Barry Rowland for producing a
wonderful selection and to all who bought them: we
raised £166.
Pete Gauntlett had come up trumps with suitable
lighting, for Gabriel and the angel host to tell the
shepherds the good news, as they guarded their
Martingrange sheep, warmed by a thankfully smaller
fire than that which James had provided for Bonfire
Night.
The journey of Mary and Joseph to search for a room
for the night was followed by some 70 or so
Trushamites and friends, in many ways like the
bustling crowds who must have been in Bethlehem on
that night 2000 or so years ago. The night had grown
dark and cold, so much so that snow blizzards greeted
us, coming mysteriously from an upstairs window. No
room at the inn, but the inn keepers were kindly and
offered stable accommodation and we all moved on to
a thatched shelter, guided by a magnificent star
shining above the building. The scene which greeted
us was wonderful - Mary and Joseph and baby
CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
The evening of the Christmas Bazaar was wet and
windy, but those who came along were soon fortified
by glasses of mulled wine and mince pies. There were
gifts to buy and cakes, preserves and pickles to stock
up on for Christmas. Santa made an appearance to
give chocolate to all the good children. Thanks to Sue
for organising the event, Pete and Tony for cutting
the Christmas tree and festooning the lights and to
all helpers and stallholders. A profit of £174 will go
to village funds.
ART & CRAFT WEEKEND
This was held at Easternhill Farm, Dunsford, 21st-22nd
November. We made a wonderful donation of £415 to
Hospiscare.
Annie Porter.
TRUSHAM ART EXHIBITION
There were almost a hundred paintings displayed at
the exhibition, held on the cold and wet, last weekend
of November. Visitors were treated to free
refreshments, as well as the opportunity to vote for
their favourite exhibit – this was „Mushrooms 2‟ by
Annie Porter. The raffle – prizes donated by members
- raised £41. Donations enabled the Art Group to
make £25 donations to both CLIC and Shelterbox.
Unfortunately, low attendance means that the holding
of future exhibitions is in some doubt.
Annie Porter.
This is a special candlelit service, of peace and
meditation - we do hope you will join us in Trusham
Church, 31 January, starting at 6pm.

“O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM”
Inspired by Graham Mayer`s article on Bethlehem in
December`s Unity, Jim and I have decided to give a
talk, and show a photographic display, of
“BETHLEHEM TODAY”. In our brief visit in May
2009 we visited human rights and peace making
organisations and also Bethlehem University and
other sites such as the Church of the Nativity.
So do come to the Community Centre in Christow on
Wednesday, January 20th at 7.30 pm, when we will
attempt to put a little realism, and a glimpse at the
fortitude of the residents, into the Christmas vision
of Bethlehem. We might even manage a small taste
of the East by way of refreshment.
Penelope Putz.

We enjoyed our Christmas meal at the Cridford Inn.
January‟s meeting will be at Orchardside.
THANK YOU
'A huge thank you‟ to all our friends and neighbours
who have said prayers, cooked, fetched, babysat and
sent good wishes since Keith was taken ill. Your
offers of help and support have been fantastic and
helped enormously. Sally and Keith Edgington
(Comment from fellow editors – Great to see you up
and about – and even cleaning the church!)
AND NOW FOR 2010....
SERVICE FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
A special service will be held in Trusham Church on
Sunday 17th January at 4pm to celebrate Christian
Unity. It will be shared by Rev Paul Wimsett and
David Hewitt, the newly appointed Baptist Minister
for Chudleigh. Do come along and join us in this
ecumenical service and for refreshments afterwards.

CANDLEMAS
Candlemas is the traditional celebration of the
festival of lights, when in years gone by the candles
for the forthcoming year were blessed - important
before the era of electricity. It was also when
Christians celebrate Jesus as `the light of the
world` and his presentation as a baby in the temple.
FAREWELL
After three and a half happy years, we have decided
to leave the peace and tranquility of the village and
head for the bright lights of Ashburton! We have
loved every minute of living in Trusham and would like
to thank everyone who offered us their friendship
and made us feel so much a part of the lovely
community here. We'll take away many happy
memories and we will miss you all so much.
Helen, Andrew and Cleo
WELCOME
The new people who have moved into Tucketts are
Amanda and Peter Ford, with their three young
children. We hope they‟ll be as happy here as the
previous occupants were.
REMINDERS

Prize in 2008.
YEHEE-HA! LINE DANCING
Read next month‟s What‟s On to find out more about
the possibility of this fun and health-packed activity
coming to Trusham.
PLEASE, PLEASE
If you, or anyone you know, walk dogs in the area, do
remember that they should be kept on leads. Yet
again, sheep in the area have been attacked and badly
injured. The latest incident involved a tall, golden
coloured dog with a bright red collar – maybe a
Labrador cross/Rhodesian Ridgeback, or similar At
least one farmer now intends to carry a gun when
checking on their sheep and is legally allowed to use it
to prevent dogs worrying livestock.

February 2010
SERVICE FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
A good number of Trushamites were delighted to be
joined by many visitors from Chudleigh and Chudleigh
Knighton to share in the service on 17th January to mark
the week of Christian Unity. It was a lively and joyful
service with David Hewitt, new Chudleigh Baptist
minister, sharing the service with Paul Wimsett. It was
an inspiration to those present to feel part of the
greater Christian family and share this fellowship
together. We also heard from Jane Brooks, how her son
Dave, now solo-rowing the Atlantic was making such
great progress and how God was so much part of this
adventure. We all enjoyed tea and cake in the church
after the service - and no doubt the church mice were
delighted with the leftovers.
BETHLEHEM TODAY
At our Evening Worship service on 14th February 6pm we
will be having a talk and exhibition about modern-day
Bethlehem. Jim and Penelope Putz of Trusham will
describe their visit to Bethlehem and the interfaith
human rights organisations they met in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories in May 2009. There will be
refreshments after the service.
SONGS OF PRAISE IN TRUSHAM CHURCH
Now is your chance to sing your favourite hymn or
worship song and join in with others as we sing theirs
too. At 4pm on Sunday 21st February, we are having our
own version of SONGS OF PRAISE, so please let David
Smethurst or Angela Cameron know which hymn you
would like to sing, and if you are willing to say why you
chose it, that would be super too, but you don`t have to!
CHURCH ELECTORAL ROLL
The Church Electoral Roll is being revised in time for
the Church‟s Annual Meeting in the Spring. If you are
not already on the Roll and would like to be included,
please see Angela or David [Churchwardens] for a
registration form.
VILLAGE COMMITTEE MEETING
Paul Penfold from Tinkley came to the Parish Meeting to
outline his planning application for fishing lodges. It is
hoped to have an open site visit in the Spring, so that
villagers can see for themselves the work he has done at
the quarry, and what he hopes to achieve.
It is proposed that with the £250 Trusham was
awarded for recycling Yellow Pages covers, that we buy
one large tree, possibly a Red Oak and site this near the
War Memorial. The play equipment sub-committee
reported that the project is now finalised and there will
be an official "opening" during half-term in February. A
vote of thanks was recorded for the hard work carried
out by this sub-committee.
The Village Hall committee heard that work is still
waiting to be undertaken to repair toilet windows and
timber roof beams, as well as installing a safety light.
There had been a successful Christmas bazaar which
raised £170 for village funds, and the carol singing
around the village had raised £151.07 for Mercy Ships.
Dates were agreed for the village quiz -February 26th,
village Revels - 13th March, village AGM - 21st April and a
fete and barn dance -3rd July.
A full set of the draft minutes can be found on the
noticeboard and on the Trusham website. Sue Gauntlett
BURNS NIGHT
Another great evening, thanks to Sue‟s enterprise and
organisation. Traditions were
followed – pipes were sort of skirled
and one or two kilts were whirled.
Lots of tartan was in evidence ranging
from kilts (the real McCoy), to
pyjamas and hair! Sandy did the
Scots bit. The neeps and tatties were
almost as tasty as the haggis. The
puddings were heavenly. Goodness
knows how anyone was able to dance
after all that, but the caller, Liz Hogg, assisted all the
left feet to become nimble pairs. Many thanks - mainly
to Sue, but also to her pudding makers et al.
Stop press – Update from Sue:
We made a profit on the Burns Supper evening of
£259.80 for village funds, so well worth doing. The
raffle played a large part with £77 of tickets sold.
CHRISTMAS CHARITY
Many thanks to all who contributed to Present Aid.
There is still a little more money to collect but as soon
as I have received it all I will check what we are able to
purchase from the village. Further details will be in next
month‟s What‟s On.
Once again thanks for your support. Mary Cook
BOOKER NOMINATION

SOUP AND ROLL LUNCH
Last year we had fundraising `Soup and Roll` lunches at
various houses and it was such fun we have decided to do
it again. This time we aim to raise funds to cover our
church's contribution to the Teign Valley Youth Project.
The first lunch will have been held at Vinnicombes in
January. February's lunch will be on Tuesday 23rd
February at 12.30pm, at Lower Vinnicombes . If you

come along to have a go at line dancing in the Village Hall
on 17th February at 7.45pm. This trial session is at a cost of
£2 adult, £1 (child).
for 6-10 year olds, this would require involvement in
three 2.5 hr sessions prior to the show. The first one
will be at 2.30pm in the Village Hall on Thursday 18th Feb

st
1 Teign Valley Scout group is
1 year old on February 26th.
We have 17 Beavers from 5¾
to 8 years, 14 Cubs from 8 to
10½ and 12 Scouts from 10½ to 14, with 8 leaders from
the whole Teign Valley area. We have carried out a wide
range of Scouting activities during our first year. The
Cubs enjoyed several adventurous at the Teignbridge
district camp, near Taunton. We have also taken them
rock climbing, canoeing and abseiling and the Beavers
QUIZ?
WHEN? February 26th at 7.30pm.
WHERE? Village Hall
WHO? You, friends, relations etc. Come on your own and
join a team or bring three know-alls with you.
WHY? Fun, finding-out and fund-raising
HOW MUCH? £3 per head – to include refreshments.
Not so much Mastermind as the Weakest Link without
the Wicked Witch!
enjoyed a Dartmoor walk and visited a local dairy farm.
The group visited Bovey Tracey Fire Station and
assisted DNP restoring a section of footpath. They
learned a wide range of Scouting skills -knots, tracking,
pioneering, orienteering and first aid. We attended the
St George‟s Day parade in Moretonhampstead and
paraded through Bridford to the Remembrance Day
service in November. This year we plan to develop the
skills they have already learned as well going camping.
TRUSHAM REVELS 2010!
We are hoping to organise
another “Revels” this year. For
those of you who weren‟t here
for the last one in Spring
2007, this is a „variety‟ show
held in the Village Hall
comprising of various sketches/performances lasting
five minutes or so, performed by villagers of all ages!
Past Revels have been great fun, as well as raising money
for various charities! It will take place on Saturday
March 13th (Sunday 14th is Mothers‟ Day!) Anyone
interested in joining in with a song or sketch or doing
their own, or helping please contact Sarah Maybin on
853208/ [email protected] or Pat
Phipps on 854849/ [email protected]. See next
newsletter for ticket info! Thanks!!
Sarah Maybin and Pat Phipps
REVELS PUPPET SHOW!
We are grateful for the huge support from Bridford
Village Hall where we meet weekly in term time: Scouts
7-9pm Wednesdays, Beavers 5.15-6.30pm and Cubs
6.30-8pm Thursdays. We are also very grateful for
grants from Bridford Wives, Bridford Fete and Teign
Valley Vintage Rally and support from the wider local
community. We are applying for major grants to equip
ourselves with camp equipment etc to enhance our
programme and benefit our members.
We have a very capable and dedicated team of leaders
but need more leaders to assist at our meetings. This
would reduce pressure on our present team and allow us
to widen our programme and to accept more young
people into Scouting. No experience is necessary and full
training is available. Our committee of parents and
helpers has been very busy in supporting our group but is
looking for a new treasurer. This should be a very simple
post for someone with basic computer skills and does not
involve working with children. We welcome applications
from young people to join the group. For any further

OFFICIAL OPENING OF NEW PLAY AREA.
As you may have noticed the new play equipment and
seating have now been installed in the park! It is already
being put to good use by the children and adults! We
would like to celebrate the park‟s opening and thank our
sponsors; Ugbooke Environmental Ltd, Rural Aid Fund,
The RockETTS Fund, Devon County Council, The Football
Foundation and last but not least YOU the people of
Trusham who have supported us. To do this we are
holding an event in the park on the afternoon of Tuesday
16th February (Pancake day). We will start off with a
celebratory banner and flag making workshop for the
kids run by TEPEE (Teignbridge Play Network-they did
the scarecrow making too…great fun!) at 1.30 pm. At
3.30pm we will have the official opening with
refreshments-(including Tony Cox‟s fabulous pancakes to
eat we hope!) photos and some pancake racing. If the
weather is awful we will head for the village hall. Please
come along - a rough idea of numbers of kids attending
at 1.30pm would be useful for TEPEE so if you can, let
me know (or any queries) on 01626 853208 or
[email protected]. Sarah Maybin.

WHAT’’S ON IN TRUSHAM
I am sure I am not alone in saying a big thank you to the
team who put together “What‟s On in Trusham”. I look
forward to reading it every month – your hard work is
much appreciated! It has really added to village life!
Thank you also to the Causley Trustees for allowing
funding, and also to all those who volunteer to go out in
all weathers to deliver it around the village! anon
DON’T EMBARRASS YOUR DOG!
If you or acquaintances walk your canine friends around
and about Trusham, please don‟t leave any evidence!
Responsible dog-owners – which most of you are – not
only collect forensic evidence in
handy little bags and also take it
home with them. There are some,
however, who presume that leaving
the filled handy little bags on paths –
especially those leading from Church
Lane – means „duty done‟.

PCC MEETING HELD ON 22 FEB
Nine members attended the meeting chaired by Paul
Wimsett our vicar.
 Arrangements for the Easter Egg workshop were
discussed.
 Recent services had been well attended, especially
the Nativity service and the Nine Lessons and
Carols. Following Dave Brooks‟s service, church
members have had updates on progress on his solo
transatlantic rowing race. The map in church is
updated regularly. Dave is prayed for each week.
 The candle snuffer had been found.
 Start time of services was discussed. It was
decided that when BST ends, morning services will
start at 10am for winter months. The earlier start
enabled us to have Paul lead more services, which
was appreciated by the congregation
 Chris presented the 2009draft accounts, confirming that
income is still only half expenditure and that if this
current situation continues all reserves will be used
by the end of 2011.
 The Annual Church Meeting will be on Thursday
15th April at 8pm in the Village Hall. It will be
preceded by a meal at 7pm. There will be a
presentation about church activities over the last
year and there will be an opportunity to contribute
to the next Action Plan.
CHURCH ELECTORAL ROLL
The Church Electoral Roll is being revised in time for
the Church‟s Annual Meeting in the Spring. If you are
not already on the Roll and would like to be included,
please see Angela or David [Churchwardens] for a
registration form.
CHRISTMAS PAST
A very big thank you to all who chose to make donations to
Present Aid rather than sending Christmas cards to
friends in Trusham. I am pleased to say that we
collected £81. This has enabled us to purchase
16 ducks to help people in Bangladesh become self
sufficient as well as 3 pigs, a beehive and 7
beekeepers‟ hats to help people in Bolivia. This is a
fantastic achievement and I have already had
requests to repeat the appeal next year. So why not?
Thank you all once again. Mary Cook
SOUP AND ROLL LUNCH
This month‟s soup lunch will be on March 23rd, at
12.30, at Middle Earth. Donations of £3 in aid of
Trusham Church‟s contribution to the Teign Valley
Youth Project. Please let Pat know if you are coming
EASTER EGG WORKSHOP
This will be run by TEPEE {Teignbridge Play Network
on Saturday 27th March, 2-4pm in the Village Hall. It
will be another opportunity to take part in a workshop
run by the people who did our Scarecrow Workshop in
the Autumn.
Children and adults are all welcome to come and try
the blowing and decorating of real eggs, and the
making of Modroc eggs [Plaster of Paris bandages
wrapped round balloons and then decorated – very
messy and great fun!]. All will be used to decorate the
church for Easter and then returned to creators.
Thanks to the Causley Fund Trustees this will be a
free workshop. As numbers are limited to 40, please
could you let Pat Smethurst know if you would like to
come [tel: 853375]
Churchwardens‟ note: The use of Modroc „eggs‟ will
definitely not be permitted for the egg rolling contest
after the Easter Day service!!
TRUSHAM PLAY AREA OFFICIAL OPENING!
On Tuesday 16th of February Trusham celebrated the
arrival of new play equipment and seating in the park!
We were pleased to be joined by representatives of
some of the organisations who donated funds, (which
included Ugbrooke Environmental, The Rural Aid Fund,
RockETTS, The Football Foundation and Devon County
Council) as well as Mike Gardner who made the
beautiful wooden tractor and seating, and of course
lots of local adults and children and their relatives
and friends!
The afternoon commenced with celebratory banner
and flag making organised by TEPEE (Teignbridge Play
Network). Everyone had great fun and a beautiful
selection of rather sticky glittery banners arrived
down at the playpark for the official opening! Our
photos were taken for the Mid Devon Advertiser then
Jim Putz officially “opened” the play area. Flowers and
wine were presented to Tricia Bird and Tony Wheaton
who both put considerable time and effort to getting
into this project. The rain had just about held off
until this point, but soon
it began to pour which
meant rather a large
crowd
of
people
retreated to the shelter
of 2 gazebos where we
had tea, cake, and of
course
Tony
and
Rosemary‟s “Posh Pancakes” which were a huge hit! Big
thanks go to them! The afternoon ended with a damp
and slippery but enthusiastic pancake race won by Tom
Edgington.
Thankyou so much to all who contributed to making
this project work- the sponsors mentioned above, and
for all the children and adults who fund raised locally
- a special mention to the Cridford Inn who held
several fundraising events. A big thankyou to all those
who gave practical help getting the site ready and
those who put numerous hours into researching the
project, meetings, paperwork, number crunching and
more meetings! It‟s all been worth it!

TRUSHAM REVELS
Sadly Pat and I have had to make the decision to
defer the Revels from March 13th to a later date - we
hope in November. This has been for a number of
reasons but mainly that the date seemed to prove
difficult for many. Thank you so much to those of you
who did contact us with offers of support and sorry
to cause any disappointment. S.M.
WE DANCED THE LINE
Stetsons and spurs were left at the door, as a
number of Trusham cowgirls – and a couple of intrepid
cowboys - joined Wild Westerners to have a go at
line-dancing. This proved exhausting for both mind
and body – what with identifying left and right
(essential as those of us who ended up frequently
facing the wrong way will testify) and keeping up with
the music which went faster and faster, so that „heeltoe-stamp-stamp‟ turned into „shuffle thump‟. Then
came the memory test – repeating sequences learned
an hour earlier – maybe soon we‟ll be able to do joinedup dancing? Watch out for the next session – it was
great fun.
„Calamity J‟ Rowland
ASHTON & TRUSHAM WI
We had a wonderful dinner at Ann Glendinning‟s home
– cooked by Ann and Liz, with exquisite heart-shaped
pastries made by Lesley, served on a table beautifully
decorated by Ann Davies. There were several new
members there too, which enhanced the evening.
Next month, on March 8th, we shall meet at the Village
Hall and hear about Easter hats and fascinators.

Elgar‟s magnificent oratorio The Kingdom, to be

Cridfords Farm ran to over 102 acres, which was much
larger than the average for Devon. The tithe due was
£17-5-0 (£17.25). This equates to approximately
£1725 at today‟s prices. Farm labourers‟ wages at
that time were 9 shillings (45p) per week
These records are available to view at the Devon
Records Office at Sowton. The transcribed records
plus the remaining maps will be available on the
website shortly.

CRICKET NEWS

be here, Teign Valley cricketers start their preseason training, with two net sessions at Seale Hayne
(March 19th, 26th, 7-8pm) and four at Exeter

TRUSHAM CENSUS 1871 and more.....
The fourth census is on the website www.trusham.com
The youngest villager was Elizabeth Townshend, born
two weeks before the Census. She lived at „Bergoines‟.
The 1881 transcription is close to completion, so check
the website. I started transcribing the Church
registers, some of which take a lot of deciphering - so
baptism, marriages and funerals will be added to the
website, by slow degrees. Judith Rowland

Trusham has changed considerably over the years as
this portion of the map shows. The numbers refer to
parcels of land, mainly fields and dwellings. The area
of each parcel, the owner and occupier if different
are all listed in the Tithe Apportionment records as
well as the use that was made of the land. The village
recreation area, for instance, was an orchard which
belonged to Tucketts.

CHURCH ELECTORAL ROLL
The Church Electoral Roll is being revised in time for
the Church’s Annual Meeting in the Spring. If you are
not already on the Roll and would like to be included,
please see Angela or David [Churchwardens] for a
registration form.
ANNUAL CHURCH MEETING
Thursday 15th April 8pm
All villagers are invited to the meeting. There will be a
review of the year’s church activities, a presentation
of the accounts and an opportunity to contribute ideas
for the next Action Plan. This is YOUR church, so
please try to come along and take part. We look
forward to seeing lots of Trushamites!
If you would like to come to a supper beforehand
[7pm], please get a ticket from Angela [853298] or
Pat [853375]. The cost is £6 for a two course meal of
lasagne, garlic bread, green salad followed by Pavlova.
If you have special dietary requirements, please let us
know. Please bring your own wine/ drink.
EASTER IN TRUSHAM
We will celebrate the
resurrection of Christ at
our special service on 4 th
April, Easter Day Holy
Communion. Decorating the
church for Easter will take
place on Saturday 3rd April if you would like to help
with this, please contact Angela Cameron. All who can,
please come and help – with flowers, foliage and your
arranging skills. – will be gratefully received. The
Easter Day service, though a Holy Communion service,
will be very much with young people in mind. Do please
come, whatever your age!! This will be accompanied
with the handing out of Easter eggs to the children in
church and the display and presentation of the egg
creations produced at the Teepee Easter Egg event on
27th March.
After the service we will have the age-old Trusham
tradition of egg rolling outside the church. The egg
represents new life, the New Life which Christians
believe Jesus gives us in sacrificing himself for our
sins on Good Friday and rising to new life on Easter
Day.
For those who are not familiar with the
egg-rolling event, you bring along your
decorated hardboiled egg and with all
the others (children’s section or adults’)
you roll your egg down the hill from outside the Village
Hall gate. The one that travels the furthest, without
breaking up, wins a prize. Come along – take part
and/or spectate -it’s fun!
NB no shell-hardening or other adulteration allowed!
SOUP AND ROLL LUNCH
Many thanks to all those who came to Middle Earth
for Soup and Chatter at lunchtime on 23rd March. £44
was raised for Trusham's contribution to the Teign
Valley Youth Project.
The next Soup Lunch will be hosted by Mary Cook at
Franciscott, at 12.30pm, on Tuesday 27th April. It
would be helpful if you could let Mary know if you are
coming.
VILLAGE AGM
The Village AGM will be held on Wednesday 21st April
2010 in the Village Hall at 7.30pm. Everyone is
welcome.
COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
Parish meeting:
At the March Parish Meeting it was reported that a
charity would have to be formed for the recreation
area to be transferred to the village from TDC,
and application would be made to the Charity
Commissioners. The public footpaths had been used by
horses and it was hoped this would stop as they are
not designated bridle ways. There had been a
celebration for the opening of the new play equipment,
and a safety inspection on behalf of ROSPA carried
out - the safety requirements recommended were in
hand.
Village Hall Committee:
The Village Hall committee meeting heard that work
would be undertaken shortly for the installation of
the safety light and step painting. As there were no
suitable ways to clean the ceiling tiles, quotation and
grants being sought for replacement (cleanable) tiles.
A Food Hygiene and Safety inspection had been
carried out by TDC and the points raised were in hand.
A working party to discuss new Boules pitch to meet
on site and any interested parties were welcome to
attend.
A full set of the draft Minutes can be found on the
village notice board and website.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Thirty years of wedded bliss
Started with a loving kiss
When Angela was just a girl
And Sandy chose her as his pearl
For she fitted his doctor’s orders.
Though they’ve crossed so many borders,
They soon put Trusham to the test
And Vinnicombes became their much-loved nest
For fledgling Charlotte and bonsai trees –
With village life, they were at ease
Though working hard at Church and history
And much else – it’s quite a mystery
How they had thirty hours a day
For all this work and rest and play!
While this overview is somewhat cursory,
We wish you a wonderful anniversary.
ASHTON & TRUSHAM WI
Hats and fascinators were the subject of the
informative talk at last month’s meeting. Those with
problem heads found their difficulties were not
insurmountable! The crimson cloche caught a number
of eyes. Some members looked very glamorous – ready
for Ascot at the very least – modelling exotic
creations, hand-made by the speaker, Alison Miller
Next month, on April 12th at 7.15pm in the Village Hall,
we will have the opportunity to learn about Dartmoor
ponies from Dru Butterfield.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Lemon cake with double lemon filling
Ingredients:225g butter/margarine or mix; 225g
caster sugar; 275g self-raising flour; 4 large eggs;
grated zest 11/2 lemons; pinch of salt; 50g ground almonds.
Filling: 150g unsalted butter; 275g icing sugar; 1 lemon –
grated zest and juice; 2 tablespoons of lemon curd.
Method: Line the base/sides of a 20cm deep cake tin. Heat
the oven to 160oC/325oF/gas mark 3. Cream the fats and
sugar until light and fluffy, add grated lemon zest, then beat
in the eggs a little at a time. Fold in the sieved flour and salt,
then the ground almonds. It should be a dropping consistency.
Place the mixture in the tin, making a slight hollow in the
centre. Bake just below the centre of the oven for 11/4 hrs
or until firm and golden brown. Leave in the tin for 1 minute,
then turn out. When cold, store in airtight container for a
day, then coat with marzipan.
Filling: soften the butter; beat in the icing sugar, grated
lemon zest and 2 to 3 teaspoons of the juice. Level the top
of the cake, invert it so that the base is now the top and cut
it across in half. Spread with lemon curd and 2/3 of the
butter icing. Sandwich the two halves together and spread
remaining butter icing thinly over the sides and top as a base
for the marzipan.
The cake plus filling is 6cm deep before it is coated.

TRUSHAM CENSUS 1881
The fifth census (1881) is now on the website
www.trusham.com There were Causleys living in Chicks
(one of two households recorded there) and four
households recorded in Vinnicombes – so no room for
George, Viv or Chloe! The 1891 transcription is close
to completion. Check the website.

GOGGLE AT GOOGLE
Just in case there are some surfers who have not yet
stumbled across Google Street View, Trusham is now there.
Anyone recognise these two shady characters?!
WANTED
Is there anyone out there who has old blankets? I am
now desperately in need of replacement ones for
Cassie's (the dog's) bed. If so, can you please let me
know and I'll pick it/them up. Many thanks.

PILATES CLASS IN TRUSHAM
If we had a weekly Pilates class in our own village hall,
would you like to join? The proposed time is Tuesdays
at 7.45 pm and the teacher who may be able to do this
is Claire, an advanced Pilates instructor based at
Quest for Zest in Chudleigh.
Those who have tried it will know that Pilates is one of
the safest forms of exercise today and can be
beneficial for just about everyone, regardless of age
and fitness levels.
Claire has a very full schedule but she is willing to run
a class for us if there is enough interest. So would you
please let me know by Monday 5th April if you would
like to have a place?

VICAR’S REPORT
I would like to express my thanks to all who have
contributed to our life together over the past year,
particularly to David and Angela our Churchwardens,
Pat our Secretary, and Rosemary and Chris for help
with Church finances. We are truly grateful to you all.
Also, a special thank you to all who have done duty wardens’
tasks during the year. Your help in sharing the load of
keeping Sunday by Sunday worship going is very much
appreciated. Thanks to everyone for all you do in many
different ways from arranging flowers to reaching out to
neighbours. So much of what a church is and does that
enriches individuals and communities depends on work
generously given and often seen by nobody, but God. Most
of all, we do what we do for him.
There have been some wonderful highlights in church
life over the last year. The Christmas nativity through
the streets was so powerful and moving. Even now I think
back to the different scenes and the inspiration of each one.
Thank you so much to Pat and all who worked so hard on that
and made Christmas so special. The Harvest scarecrow
making, service and procession were also very
memorable. We are very grateful to Tracey and Ian at
the Cridford for their support of these occasions.
There are challenges ahead to ensure that the Good
News of Jesus Christ and his kingdom are a real and
visible part of life in communities such as Trusham. The
last year has shown that with commitment and
imagination great things can result, and as ever we are
grateful for your suggestions which are an important
part of taking the mission of our church forward.
I look forward to working with you in the service of
God’s kingdom in the forthcoming year.
Paul
REPORT OF TRUSHAM CHURCH AGM
Trusham Church Council held its Annual General
Meeting on 15th April in the Village Hall, preceded by a
fellowship meal. Angela Cameron and David Smethurst
were elected to serve as Church Wardens for the
year 2010/11. They were thanked by Rev Paul Wimsett
for their willingness to stand and for the hard work
they had done in the previous year. He said that the
role of Churchwarden was a key role in co-ordinating
the work of the church and reminded Church members
that the life and work of the Church is a team effort
and that the Churchwardens need the help and
support of all.
Paul said he looked forward to receiving from those
present their suggestions that evening which would be
an important part of taking the mission of our church
forward.
Pat Smethurst gave the annual report in a PowerPoint
presentation with photographs of parish life, a very
lively and enjoyable review which inspired and
encouraged us in all that had happened over the year.
Church members were invited to discuss what they
would like the church to consider when planning for
development in the Mission Action Plan 2010. These
are in addition to the Joint Mission Action Plan agreed

talents, regular financial support;


teas [money used for a specific expense];


Election of the Parochial Church Council
The following members were elected: Mrs Jane
Brooks, Mrs Rosemary Cox, Mr Chris Edworthy, Mr
Pete Gauntlett, Mrs Diana Northcott, Mr Brian
Shearman, Mrs Pat Smethurst, Mrs Margaret Stack.
David Smethurst thanked Paul Wimsett for his
leadership of our parish. He also thanked other
villagers and PCC members for their contributions to
the life of the church in Trusham.
TRUSHAM PARISH AGM
This was held on 21st April and the chairman welcomed
the 28 villagers who attended. The Meeting heard
that the planning application for holiday/student
accommodation at Tinkley had been withdrawn as TDC
had refused permission due to access from the Teign
Valley Road. Jim Putz was in discussion with the
Planning Dept. on behalf of Mr Penfold about their
ruling. It was reported that in order for Trusham to
purchase the recreation area from TDC, a further
committee would have to be set up with charity
status, as Parish Meetings are unable to own property.
This was still being investigated with the Charity
Commission.
The accounts of the Parish Meeting and the
Community Fund were accepted and balance sheets
were freely available at the meeting. The election of
officers and committee were as follows: Jim Putz
(Chairman), David Davies (Treasurer), Sue Gauntlett
(Secretary); Jane Brooks, Keith Edgington, Patsy
Mudie, Judith Rowland, James Smethurst, Tony
Wheaton, James Cassidy, Tricia Bird, Sarah Maybin
and Ann Glendinning were all elected. A vote of thanks
was passed to Angela Cameron who had stood down
from the committee.
A discussion was held on the road signs in the village
square. It was thought these had proved ineffective
and in fact traffic was faster than before. The
committee will ask Devon Highways Dept. to remove
the signs.
It was mooted that a Boules pitch be made in the
recreation area at the top of the park and games
would be trialled this summer before a permanent
pitch installed.
The Village Hall AGM followed. A new electricity
supplier was being used which would hopefully reduce
costs. Thought would be given to user fees for the
hall as costs outweighed the income.
A full set of draft minutes can be found on the village
notice-board and website.
ASHTON & TRUSHAM WI
On April 12th, our speaker was Dru Butterfield who
told us about the work of Dartmoor Pony Trust: how
they’re trying to keep the true strain of Dartmoor
pony, while keeping their number at a realistic level –
enough to keep the moor in good condition, but
ensuring they are not overstocked. The Trust also
does a great deal of charitable work, including
encouraging disabled children to visit their working
farm, to have contact with the ponies. They also
organise walks around the area – another walk for
Trusham. It was an interesting evening. Liz Jackson

TEIGN VALLEY RUNNING CLUB NEWS
We have had our AGM, we are still here and running
well and we accept MEN – please note – to all our
running sessions – as well as BEGINNERS; that is men
and ladies who fancy giving running a try.
You don’t have to think of racing like our London
marathon virgins. By the time you read this, our
intrepid 4 should have completed the London race, all
26.2 miles of it. I last heard they had completed a 21
mile training run in fine style. Annie Pascoe, Helen
Rossi, Angela Thompson and Davey Jones are all
running for various charities so please be sure to
support them. It’s really lovely to be out and about
now that spring is really here, getting in the fresh air
and getting fit at the same time. Do look at our
website diary for where the weekly runs are. By all
means phone me if you have any questions about
whether to join us – we are a happy Club and have
plenty of fun. Penny Clapham 01647-253066 or email

ROGATION WALK
Trusham`s annual Rogation walk has become a
popular and special event - this year was no
exception, when we were joined by 40 walkers from
the village and our sister churches of Chudleigh and
Chudleigh Knighton.
Although the day had started with a heavy
downpour, we were blessed with dry weather on the
walk which took us out past the War Memorial, and
down to Whetcombe, ending up at Tinkley Koi Farm,
pausing at various beautiful places on the way for
Paul Wimsett to read to us a Bible passage relating
to the area and to pray for God`s blessings of the
countryside and rural production. Our tour of
Tinkley was fascinating, as we took in the wide
variety of beautiful wild fowl - Golden, Lady
Amhurst and Reeve`s pheasants, irridescent blue
and pure white peacocks, Australian black and Asian
black necked swans now nesting on the floating
rafts, Egyptian geese, and fancy ducks - not to
mention the many large fish in the lake - how could
we fail to marvel at God`s infinite beauty and
variety of creation in all we saw? Paul Penfold Of
Tinkley and Steve who assists him, gave us a warm
welcome and interesting insights into their work
there. The visit ended with a trek up to the viewing
platform where we could look down on the lake.
After such an wonderful outing, we were treated to
an delicious tea back in the church, the table laden
with home-made cakes, rewarding our afternoon`s
exertion, a thoroughly enjoyable occasion.
Many thanks to Paul and Steve, to Brian and Sally
Collins and John and Carol Siddorn on whose land we
walked, to the talented cake makers and to Paul
Wimsett for his inspired leadership.

are interested please contact Doreen on 852692 or

TRUSHAM AND TEIGN VALLEY BOOK GROUP
At our last meeting we discussed „The Secret
Agent‟ by Joseph Conrad. The novel, set at the
beginning of the twentieth century, tells the story
of a group of anarchist, and their interactions with
the London Society in which they live. It would be
wrong to spoil the suspense generated by Conrad in
this atmospheric novel which resonates with our
modern experience of terrorism.
Our next meeting is on 10th June 2010 at 3pm at
Old Venn Bridford when we will be discussing
Booker Prize winner „Wolf Hall‟ by Hilary Mantel. If
anyone is interested in joining this lively group
please ring Margaret 01647 252611.

TEIGN VALLEY RUNNING CLUB
Our marathon runners in London all completed in
under 5 hours – what an achievement with so many
people running. Results as follows – Helen Rossi in
4.08.48; Davey Jones in 4.28.39; Annie Pascoe in
4.42.49; Angela Thompson in 4.58.00. Not to be
outdone, our youngest member, Tom VickersArmstrong ran the Great West half marathon on
2nd May, completing in 1.52.12 Well done all of you.
On Mondays, throughout the
summer whilst it is light evenings,
there will be short beginner type
jog/runs starting at 7pm mostly in
and around the reservoirs, and
mostly off road. These 7pm runs (time may be
altered) are very suitable for complete beginners,
those coming back from injury, easy run after a
Sunday long run – generally a chance to start or
keep the legs going in a very gentle way. They will
be from 2 – 4 miles long approx. Everyone welcome,
men too and do bring along or tell anyone you may
know who has expressed an interest in getting going
with a little jogging, that this is the ideal start. By
the way, we jog, or run regardless of the weather –
it‟s rather nice to run in the rain, especially the
warm summer variety. Sure we will be having a
deluge soon, but also hope to have sunny evenings
too. All our runs are listed in the diary, on our
website. www.teignvalleyrunningclub.co.uk

COULD YOU SAVE MONEY ON FUEL OR
ELECTRICITY? Have you noticed how many
motorists on the Valley road repeatedly rely on
their brakes rather than slowing down before a
bend? Driving experts claim we can get 60% better
consumption by driving more smoothly, correctly
anticipating road conditions and changing gear
appropriately. Check your tyre pressure regularly,
avoid over-revving and you‟ll be filling your tank less
often. You‟ll produce fewer emissions too.
Would you like to join a project looking at the
effectiveness of “smart” electricity meters in
reducing your energy bills? We loan you one of
these meters and ask you to record your electricity
use over a short period. Contact [email protected] or ring 01647 252553 for more info.

July 2010
PCC MEETING JUNE 2010
The new Mission Action Plan for Trusham Church was
agreed and incorporated the joint plan for all three
churches in the Mission Community [Chudleigh,
Chudleigh Knighton and Trusham]. The Plans can be
seen on the church noticeboard.
The following services and events were planned in
addition to regular services in church:
 Songs of praise service in church on 8th August at
6pm
 An outdoor family service on 12th September at
10.30am on the Village Green
 Harvest Festival on 26th September at 4pm
followed by an auction of produce and promises.
There will be another Harvest family workshop on
Saturday 25th September for Trusham residents.
Causley Trustees kindly agreed to fund this.
 Service of Remembrance for people who have died
- 17th Oct at 4pm. To be followed by tea.
 Trusham Nativity Play
PCC members expressed continuing concern about the
financial situation of the church with its expenditure
on essential matters being £10,000 a year against an
income of £5,000. All villagers on the Church‟s
Electoral Roll have been, or will be approached to
consider regular giving to the church. At present the
church is using its reserves to keep going. These will
run out at the end of 2011. Pete Gauntlett is to lead
fundraising initiatives on behalf of the PCC.
Starting in September on the last Friday on the
month, there will be a Church children‟s group from
5.30 to 6.15 leading into the Friday Club on the Green.
There will be a Bible story followed by art/drama/
music activity. It is planned that this will link with the
monthly family service. Trusham children aged
between 7 and 11 [Yrs 3 – 6 in Primary School] will be
very welcome to come along. Contact Pat Smethurst
[853375] if your child[ren] are interested. More
details in September‟s newsletter.
The next PCC (Parochial Church Council) meeting will
be held on 18th October.
TRUSHAM VILLAGE COMMITTEE
The last Parish Meeting heard that a Red Oak had
been planted near the War Memorial with the money
we were granted from the collection of Yellow Pages
covers. It was reported that the "give way" signs in
the village square would be removed by DCC Highways
Department as they had proved ineffective in calming
traffic and many villagers had complained about them.
Quotations were awaited for restoration of the War
Memorial before funding can be requested.
The Village Hall committee reported that the safety
light in the hall grounds would be installed in June, and
the hall electrical installation needed to be tested,
the electrical appliances having been tested in 2009.
The matter of hall renting charges was discussed but
for now charges will remain the same, but will be kept
under review.
A full copy of the Minutes can be found on the Village
Noticeboard and on the Trusham website.
ASHTON & TRUSHAM WI
June‟s meeting, on the 14th, saw fourteen members
leave Trusham in a convoy of cars to visit the
Sharpham Vineyard. The weather was just right for us
to tackle the Red Route, with its rather high stiles
and a lovely view of the majestic Palladian Sharpham
House – a delicate rose- like one of the wines we
tasted. As
befits WI
members,
the „bowl‟
for the
samples we
shouldn‟t
have
swallowed,
remained in pristine condition, while we talked
knowledgeably about „legs, noses and tears‟. The day
finished with a visit to Hill House Nursery and cream
teas – it was rumoured that some people managed a
whole serving rather than the more popular „half‟
version!
Thanks must go to Ann Glendinning for organising it all
– including a recce – and to the drivers too.
July‟s meeting, the 12th at 7.15pm- will be held in The
Village Hall where there will be a talk about the
Cinnamon Trust.
BLUEBELL WALKS
Annie Porter would like people to know – especially
those who enjoyed the walks that over £6411 was
raised for Hospiscare – an amazing sum -thank you.
PENELOPE AND JAMES
When the Nineteen Thirties opened play
Two little Quakers saw light of day
Almost twins – but not quite –
Apart by a hundred days and night
And geography too – so many miles
Separated their childhood smiles.
Let’s skip the Thirties and Forties too –
And on to Varsity – Dark Blue –
Where paths crossed – almost a mystery One a chemist - t’other read history.
Hugh the Drover - Love in the Stocks
Helped them onto the starting blocks
Of love . Candy called and in ‘53
They came to The Old Rectory.
A life on the tiles for ‘Lucky Jim’Penny had no time to envy himNor in peaceful Trusham to lurkFar too busy with her social work.
Children came, two girls, one boy –
Bringing laughter, love and joy.
Now retired - no time for rest –
Going north, south, east and west –
By plane and caravan and skis –
Fact-finding, as well as pleasure sprees.
While standing still, James rotates
And in village matters mediates,
While Penelope gave support to Cruse.
The Putzes both sport Liberal views,
As Friends and Guardian people too,
No other stance could one construe.
We’re so very pleased to celebrate
Your amazing sum- a score times eight.
I can‟t do the sum for this cake!
TRUSHAM’S FETE
Don‟t forget – no rain dances to be done until after
this – whatever the needs of your plants. It‟s in the
Village Green, on July 3rd, starting at 2.30pm – lots to
see and do. Daj is in need of cans/bottles/packets of
food for his tombola stall – if you‟re lucky, you might
even win back what you gave!
Later, starting at 7.30pm, there will be dancing to live
music from Hogwash, barbecue and beer - £6 (adult),
£3 (children/students), under 5s-free
TRUSHAM AND TEIGN VALLEY BOOK GROUP
At the last meeting, we discussed „Wolf Hall‟, the Man
Booker winner by Hilary Mantel. Most agreed that it
gave a very vivid picture of both Tudor life and
Thomas Cromwell.
Next month‟s book is Remarkable Creatures by Tracey
Chevalier – a novel based on Mary Anning and the
fossils she found in Lyme Regis. It will be on 29th July
at the Woodland Park in Bridford, at 5.30pm. We
could have supper at the pub afterwards, if anyone is
interested.
To celebrate the club‟s 10th Anniversary there will be
a special literary supper on Friday 1st October in
Trusham Village Hall starting at 7:30. The guest
speaker is Trusham born author Tim Pears, the
author of six novels: In the Place of Fallen Leaves
(which won the Hawthornden Prize and the Ruth
Hadden Memorial Award), In a Land of Plenty, A
Revolution of the Sun, Wake Up, Blenheim Orchard
and Landed.
BOULES
An opening game was held on June 3rd – just four
select villagers tried their skills – only one sent a
boule down the hill. The next day, several more –
including children – had a go. It‟s a lovely setting, with
an unpredictable surface. Don‟t forget – you don‟t
have to book – have a go!
LINE DANCING
Some regular participants must be getting very good,
but it‟s the sort of thing anyone – whatever their
talent for identifying left and right – can try their
foot at. The next one will in the Village Hall on July
14th - £3 a head.
A BIG THANK YOU
Pete , Daj, Tony and Barry attacked the Village Hall
grounds, removing a vast amount of ivy from the walls.
They were sustained by Sue‟s brews and Patsy‟s
scrumptious sponge. Mary also assisted – not sure
about Hugo!

HOSPISCARE & A SPONSORED BIKE RIDE I
have signed up for a 200K sponsored bike ride from
Exeter cathedral to Truro cathedral over 2 days, 20th
and 21st August in aid of Hospiscare, our local hospice
at Exeter. This hospice covers our area, and as a
volunteer there, I know how much really good work
they do for their patients and their families. The
Hospice would not be able to function without much
fund-raising as they receive very little money from
the government – hence “on your bike”.
I would be delighted if you would care to sponsor me.
I have left appropriate forms in the valley post
offices - or come and see me at home at Penton
Chapel, Christow; phone 01647-253066 to make a
pledge;email on [email protected] Penny Clapham.
ROADS
Angela Cameron chased TDC and Highways to get
some answers to the traffic lights on the Valley road.
The landowner needs to stabilise the bank. She also
asked about potholes – especially in Church Lane.
According to their answer, they should now have been
repaired!
PARKING
Church Lane again. There is the perennial issue
regarding thoughtless parking on the junction at the
bottom. Not only could access by emergency vehicles
be prevented, it also makes it dangerous for people
pulling out. If you know anyone who parks on the
junction, please explain the situation to them.
Now to the top of the lane – vehicles parked for a
length of time have prevented access by delivery
vehicles. What with its potholes and increased use,
everyone needs to use a bit of thought.

IRENE
Our lovely Postie, with her cheerful smileAnd ready to go that extra mile.
Where’s Irene gone – was Trusham’s wail –
What? She’s retired? Who’ll bring our mail?
We’ll miss her shorts worn in coldest snow
With woolly tights and boots below.
Ice and floods- she did not fail
To come to Trusham with our mail.
Her red Postie van was a welcome sight.
Addresses wrong? Delivered just right
As local knowledge did prevail
When Irene sorted Trusham’s mail.
She delivered to secret places
To save certain people’s faces –
Will there be no more Ebay sale
Now to Trusham she brings no mail?
Letters, cards and the occasional bill
Must now make their own way up the hill.
Trusham will miss her bringing mail –
Instead she’ll study bat and bail .
Enjoy retirement – that’s the ticket
Relax in the sun, watching cricket.
Now ‘though Google has blurred detail
Irene’s on the web with Trusham’s mail!

DEVON HISTORIC CHURCHES DAY
On Saturday 11th September, visit as many churches
as you can, by foot / wheel / hoof. You could raise
money for Trusham’s Church by walking or riding to as
many churches as you can and being sponsored for
your efforts. Proceeds will be shared equally between
the village church and the Devon Historic Churches
Trust. Many of the churches visited will have
refreshments available - and you all know how yummy
these tend to be. Entrants are asked to find sponsors
who will pay for every church or chapel visited, or
indeed, per mile covered.
For further details, please check their website
www.devonhistoricchurches.co.uk. If you would like
sponsorship forms, or if you are able to help with
refreshments / make a cake, please contact Jane
Brooks 01626 852992
TRUSHAM AND TEIGN VALLEY BOOK GROUP
Reminder: To celebrate the club’s 10th Anniversary
there will be a literary supper on Friday 1stOctober in
the Village Hall. The speaker is Trusham born author
Tim Pears, the author of six novels: In the Place of
Fallen Leaves, In a Land of Plenty, A Revolution of the
Sun, Wake Up, Blenheim Orchard and Landed.
TRUSHAM’S FETE and DANCE
Well – what an amazing success – not only great fun,
with fine weather, but with the added bonus of the
amazing amount of money raised – a profit of £603.55
on the fete and £793.75 on the dance.
The stalls were the usual mix – skittles, welcome
cream teas, scrumptious cakes (suppliers to Teign
Valley Cricket Club for their Sunday tea), recycled
bric-a-brac, plants of all sorts as well as paintings and
woodcraft. The goats were almost as entertaining as
the space hopper races. Hogwash were (was?), again,
excellent, while those who were patient did get to
enjoy their burgers.
CHOCKS AWAY!
(1)
I want to say a big “Thank You” to all of you who
contributed to my Red Letter Day “Experience” and
to let you all know that I’ve Had It !!
I
chose a helicopter ride over London,
hence the delay ( my 60th was last
September) as I wanted a good
chance of summer weather. It was
well
worth the wait, the weather at the end of June was
fantastic, and not only did I have a great flight, from
Redhill, but also a lovely meandering drive (no, we
didn’t get lost!) through the South Downs. Thank you
again.
Pat Phipps
Here are some sights you might have missed –
CHOCKS AWAY!
(2)
Circling Trusham a pilot did fly,
A week on he arrived with a tear in his eye,
He knocked on our door and said, “Take a look,
at all of these wonderful pictures I took!”
Who was head over heels in Trusham?
“My tale is a sorry one you will see ,
BA doesn’t want pilots like me,
My plane is too small; but I’d be all set,
If I could afford a jumbo jet!”
“But jumbos cost a lot of dough,
And that’s where you come in you know.
From above, your house looks very nice;
And this picture’s cheap at half the price!”
Perhaps England would have done better with these
two goal-keepers – or goals of this size!
Is Liz responding to
the query about Mr
Kipling?
We ummed and erred and oood and arred,
The decision it was very hard.
“You’r’e the last on my list- I’ll do a deal”
We shook, and thought we’d bagged a steal.
Next day in Trusham, through windows and doors
Whispers of, “How much did you pay for yours?”
But what remains a mystery,
Is how did that Avril get her picture free?!
Answers on a postcard…. Just to say I
know the answer, and I can confirm
Avril’s reputation remains as pure as
the driven snow...if not purer….
It was a real community effort on the part of
organisers – overall and for particular aspects, stall
holders, donors, dogsbodies et al, leaving many
exhausted but happy by Sunday.

THE CRIDFORD IN JULY
Due to unforeseen circumstances there will be no
annual party at the Cridford on August 22nd this year.
Don't forget Fish and Chip night Friday August 27th.
The September Fish and Chip night will be 5-6.30pm only
as we have a wedding function from 6.30pm.
FOUND
Found in the village at the beginning of July, a pair of
round framed black glasses. Sue has them (854111).
CAROLS DOWN THE LINE
Please don't groan when you read this as we do need
to know by the end of August (if at all possible) if you
are interested in coming along to this event which will
be held
on Wednesday 8th December.
The event is Carols Down the Line
and is held on the South Devon
Railway between Buckfastleigh and
Totnes. Carol singing is held on each
station, and we journey on a steam train with coffee
and mince pies included in our ticket.
Departure time is 19.30 from
Buckfastleigh. Christmas hats and
lanterns/torches are encouraged.
The ticket price will be £10 per head
which will include the train trip, coffee
and
mince pies (with £2 of this going to the church funds
here in Trusham). The organisers make a donation out
of their proceeds to Action for Children.
Booking lines open at the end of August and tickets
do sell fast which is why an early response is essential.
Please let Sue (854111) know if you would like tickets,
and how many. In the meantime, enjoy summer .........!!

build an enormous ark and make animal masks [with
TEPEE] ready for the All Age Worship service the next day.
Well-behaved pets [real or toy] are invited to attend the

AUCTION OF PROMISES:
Friday 18th November in the Village Hall
David and Pat are organising this to raise money for
church running costs. Tickets £5, will include cheese,
biscuits and a glass of wine to get everyone in the
mood for the Grand Auction! Tickets for school aged
children will be £2.50.
We have already been given one or two ‘promises’ to
auction, but need many more PLEASE. If you have a
skill or gift you would be prepared to donate, please
let us know. A similar village event auctioned babysitting and car-washing services, gardening, cooking a
meal, painting [pictures not houses, but who knows? –
every offer gratefully accepted!] as well as actual
objects and tickets for other events.
We will collect offers of promises during September
and October, and will also be selling tickets for the
Auction. Please put the date in your diaries and come
along to support the Cheese and Wine Auction
Evening.

PERSONAL GROWTH COURSE from a Christian Perspective
A year ago we led a six-week DVD based course on
personal growth, ‘The Road to Maturity’. It was wellreceived, so we think that it would be good to offer it
again, in Autumn, to those unable to do it before. If
you want to know more or think you may be interested
in joining us, please contact Pat Smethurst (853375)
or Angela Cameron (853298).

GARDEN PARTY CREAM TEA
Thank you to all who contributed in any way to this
event in aid of
church funds. We
raised a wonderful
sum of £242.60.
We were blessed
with a dry, sunny
afternoon except
for an entertaining
short period when a forest of umbrellas appeared to
protect us from a brief downpour. Check out the
other photos on the website – www.trusham.com
CAUSELY TRUSTEES’ MEETING
th
This will be on 13 September, 2pm at Middle Earth
VILLAGE COMMITTEE
The August Parish Meeting was told that DCC
Highways would be taking down the "give way" signs in
the Village Square, and that quotations were still
awaited for restoration of the War Memorial. It was
reported that the mobile library service would
continue as at present, that a gas bbq had been
donated to the village by Liz Jackson. A quote was
being obtained to build a small storage shed in the
recreation area to house the bbq, gas cylinders and
possibly the lawn mower. As the fete and barn dance
this year had been such a great success, it was hoped
to hold a similar event in 2011.
The Village Hall Committee reported that it had
switched to a cheaper electricity supplier (NPower),
the safety light for the hall had been installed, but
there was no progress with finding a way to clean the
soundproof ceiling tiles. A quotation had been
received for installation of a hearing loop , with an
application for funding being made. There would be
further quizzes during the year, a coffee morning in
October to raise funds for fireworks and a bonfire
party on 5th November.
A full set of draft minutes can be found on the village
noticeboard and on the website.
Sue Gauntlett
CRICKET
A fine evening and idyllic setting, in Lower Ashton,
was the scene for the first match between Trusham
and Teign Valley Cricket Club. With an age range
covering 50 years and cricketing experience differing
widely, Trusham put up a fair performance. Tom
Edgington was their best bowler, while James
Smethurst (one of three Smethursts in the team)
scored most runs. There is a team photograph on
www.trusham.com . It is hoped that it will become an
annual event.
Barry Rowland
KNIT & NATTER
The next meeting of the self-help knitting/sewing
group will be on Friday, 17th September, 2.30 at Liz
Jackson's house - Orchard Side, Church Lane. It may
be useful, but not essential, if you could let Liz know
if you intend to come. Liz's phone number is 854259.
Doreen Kelley & Liz Jackson
WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
Mrs Challis gave a very interesting talk about the
Cinnamon Trust, a national charity whose volunteers
will look after the pets of elderly people should their
owners are unwell or have to go into hospital.
Members also enjoyed a garden party at Dunchideock,
held to celebrate 90 years of WI in Devon. A garden
cream tea was relished a couple of weeks later,
earned by an energetic trek to see the fern garden at
Canonteign. There were spectacular views of Trusham
(see www.trusham.com) and intriguing views of the
inside of the house – a wonderful setting for
weddings.

OH I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE!
I have a yearning to turn our vegetable patch (shocking!) into a
`Beside the Seaside` garden - shingle, shore-line plants,
lobster pots, a beach hut, and a little rowing boat, which will
be planted up with herbs - this is my dream! But I am having
trouble finding a boat - one that is no longer sea-worthy and,
ideally, going begging. Does anyone have one/know of one - if
so - please make me happy and give me a ring - on 853298.
You will be most welcome to sit in one of our deckchairs (no
charge) when it is all finished. Many thanks Angela Cameron

ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
REMEMBERING LOVED ONES WHO HAVE DIED
Trusham Church offers something very special on
Sunday 17th October at 4pm, with our first service
to remember loved ones who have died. In the
beauty of such a delightful ancient church, heaven
can seem very close as we treasure in our hearts
those who have meant much to us, and ponder on
God's eternal purposes for us. There will be an
opportunity for loved ones names to be read out
and a candle lit.
Names to be remembered in the service can be
written on a list available beforehand in the church.
We hope to see you there.
Rev Paul Wimsett
ALL AGE WORSHIP – PETS’ SERVICE
Sunday 24th October 9.15am
Bring along your pet for this
Service, or a toy animal if you
think your pet will not cope
with meeting other
animals! For
several years at our
AGM, people have
asked for a Pets‟ Service
Reverend Richard
is looking forward to
and this month
Grinsted
leading it.
The church will look a bit different – hopefully a bit
like Noah‟s Ark [see below!] The service will be
short and very informal so why not come along with
your pet and join us?
Pat Smethurst
ST MICHAEL’S CHILDREN’S CLUB
Friday 22nd October 5.30–6.15pm
The theme is Noah. As well as hearing about Noah,
we‟ll be doing some art/craft activities, singing and
saying a prayer. All Primary school-aged children
are welcome.
Pat Smethurst
TEPEE WORKSHOP Saturday
23rd October 10am – 12 noon
HELP! We‟re going to make an ark to go at the
church entrance and another to go inside the
church at the front. It is
planned both will be
HUGE! We need all
adults and children to
come along and help.
This will be especially
suitable for teenage
youngsters. There will be other activities in the hall
– animal mask making. TEPEE playleaders are
running the workshop and supplying all the
materials.
Pat Smethurst
HISTORY OF EXETER
There will be a talk and supper on Thursday 21 st
October at 7pm in Trusham Village Hall by The
Royal Albert Memorial Museum, on the

AUCTION OF PROMISES
Friday 18th November Village Hall
Don‟t forget to book the date. Tickets £5
a person to include cheese and wine. Auction of
promises. More details in next month‟s newsletter.
This is one of a series of fund-raising events for
the church.
Pat Smethurst
TRUSHAM`S FRUIT VEG AND PLANT STALL
Many thanks to all who have supported, by supplying
or buying from the fruit, veg and plant stall in the
Church Porch. It has so far raised £28.25 which
has been equally divided between the Village Hall
and Church funds. Please keep this going - a great
idea and resource.
CROQUET, CANAPES & COOLERS
Fantastic weather and
lovely village green
setting, combined with
convivial company,
aided by a seemingly
endless supply of
drink and varied and
delicious titbits, made
for a thoroughly
enjoyable evening. While for most, the emphasis
was on the coolers, canapés and conversation,
rather than mallets and hoops, there were some
diehards who persevered with play even as dusk
descended. Many thanks to Sue and Pete for
organising the event, which raised £150.69 for
church funds.
BOULES-LA LA!
The village green recently hosted its first Boules
Internationale, when David Smethurst rose to the
challenge and, equipped with insider knowledge of
the bumps and hollows, pulled off a narrow victory
over Frank (Claire Dyer‟s French husband).
OOOLALA! COFFEE MORNING
Saturday 9thOctober – Village Hall
After the great success with last year‟s French
themed Coffee Morning, we are hoping to make it
even better this year. It will run from 10am „til
12.30ish so come and have your breakfast/brunch
or lunch with us! We will be raising some money for
the village fireworks as well as another charity (yet
to be decided but out of village - see posters for
more details nearer the time). We would be most
grateful for any draw prizes you can donate or
cakes for a cake stall. If you have any queries or
offers of help please contact Sarah on 853208 or
email me; [email protected]

company in pleasant surroundings (Village
Hall), another fund-raiser (for the
Village Hall) will take place on October
8th, starting at 7.30pm. Bring a team (of
four or thereabouts) or join one when
you arrive. £3 per person, to include
refreshments, gossip and the chance of
winning glory!

October should you have any large bulky items to
dispose of. It will be in the Square, 10am-4pm. The
usual restrictions will apply – see
www.teignbridge.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2695
WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
Those attending the WI September meeting heard
the reminiscences of Harry Colclough. His Copper‟s
Tale recounted episodes of his life as a policeman in
Stoke on Trent (which Trusham Miss Marple
recognised the accent?!) and Devon. It was
certainly more about Bobbies on the Beat than
Coppers in Cars.
Judith Rowland
We have a very enjoyable afternoon at Liz
Jackson‟s house for our “knit and
natter” session last month. One of
our group has spinning wheels, spins
her own yarn and has made various
things from this - very interesting.
Our next planned meeting will be at
Doreen‟s house on Friday, 22nd
October at 2.30 p.m. As before, can you please let
Doreen know if you intend coming, on 852692.
Doreen Kelley & Liz Jackson

HARVEST IN TRUSHAM
What a weekend of harvesting enjoyment,
creativity, talent, generosity and celebrating this
ancient festival – as usual villagers threw
themselves into this in great measure. It started
with the first meeting of the new Children`s Group,
hearing the Parable of the Sower, singing, and
making bread with great and vigorous kneading, and
the result
was very
tasty and
professional
loaves – we
have some
budding
bakers in
Trusham!
The Willow
Weaving
workshop the next day, led by Teignbridge Play
Network saw the Village Hall filled with
enthusiastic, creative weavers and artists and the
result was a gorgeous array of willow fishes, hearts,
wreaths, a basket, lamp shades, flower pictures,
mobiles and lots more. Thank you to the Trusham
Causley Trust for funding this.
The Harvest Festival service in church – decorated
magnificently with baskets of glowing flowers and
foliage,
prepared by
the
enthusiastic
and able team
who meet for
fun evenings
to produce
arrangements
for special
church
festivals (if anyone would like to join this group,
please contact me) – was full of celebration and the
auction of produce raised a wonderful £131.50 for
Shelterbox. Thank you to all who produced the
many gifts and to
those who were
very generous with
their bids – a very
entertaining and
productive
occasion.
We then went to
The Cridford for Harvest Supper –many thanks to
Tracey and Ian for generously providing the
delicious Yorkshire Pudding roast meal at £2 a head.
It was altogether a happy weekend for those who
joined in, in a variety of ways – a big thank you to all
concerned.

evening service in November. Words for hymns
will be projected on a screen.

say, I was the one who fell off, but bike and me,
though battered and bruised, and very wet, carried
on. Thanks all again.

TRUSHAM & TEIGN VALLEY BOOK CLUB
The Book Club’s 10th anniversary supper was a great
success, attended by over fifty people. The guest
speaker, Tim Pears, gave an entertaining insight
into various Trusham myths that seem to have been
transformed into reality. Thanks must go to Ann
Glendinning (whose ideas both the book club and
the supper were), to Sue Gauntlett who fed the
bodies of the assembled horde and to Tim Pears
who gave them food for thought.

PARISH MEETING
There had been Parish and Village Hall committee
meetings at the end of September. It was hoped
that a grit box could be obtained from DCC
Highways for placement in Church Lane before the
winter and quotes were still awaited for the War
Memorial maintenance. Sufficient funds were in
hand to purchase and install a hearing loop in the
hall and an order would be placed imminently. Dates
were agreed for fireworks on 5th November, a
Christmas coffee morning on 11th December, carol
singing around the village on 22nd December
(collection to go to Devon Air Ambulance), and the
Burns Supper to be held on 29th January. Full copies
of the draft minutes can be found on the notice
board and on the village website.
Sue Gauntlett
WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
While numbers were smaller than anticipated, the
Harvest Supper was still an enjoyable occasion –
tasty food and pleasant company, with Ann Davies’
lovely table decoration attracting approving glances.
The Christmas meal will be at the Bridford Inn.
Contact Liz Jackson for further details.
HOSPISCARE - thanks
A BIG THANK YOU, to all of you who sponsored me

TRUSHAM CHRISTMAS CARDS
Thanks to Lucy and Rob who have been hard at work
getting the Trusham Christmas cards ready for
sale in Trusham. Many thanks to Trusham's
photographers for submitting photographs for
them to use. Posters will be available soon so that
you can you can see the designs. The cards will be
sold for £4 a pack and will be available from PCC
members and from David Smethurst who is coordinating the sales.
NATIVITY PLAY
This will take place on Sunday 12th December in
church. It is hoped that the same actors who acted
in last year's roving nativity play will be taking
similar parts [well, maybe not Jacob who has grown
rather a lot since then! He'd make a good shepherd
though.... says Grandma!] There'll be lots of
movement round the church and village hall,
weather permitting, so do come along. Pete has
promised stars to follow! The wise men are getting
the camels ready, the innkeeper is preparing for
lots of visitors.... If you'd like an acting role please
let Pat know. It is hoped all children will want to be
shepherds and angels. With Trusham folk taking
part, it promises to be another Trusham spectacular. Don't
miss it! Put the date in your diary. Pat Smethurst.
1901 CENSUS
This has now been uploaded onto www.trusham.com
together with the first instalment of transcriptions
from the church registers – baptisms from 1559 to
1599, with 130 entries. By this time, of course, the
church was no longer Roman Catholic.

Dartmoor Food & Drink Farm Shop
Check out the new Dartmoor Food & Drink farm
shop open at (but owned by) Finlake Leisure Centre.
It’s well worth a visit as it stocks a wide range of
local produce. They can’t advertise so are relying on
word of mouth introductions. Lots of really tasty
produce.

the period romantic drama,
'The Painted Veil' (Cert 12) on

Following last year’s successful collection.....
Again this year, instead of sending a card to people you know in
Trusham, why not just send one to everybody in the village? The
card you choose to send would be displayed on a notice board at
the back of church. If you then would like to make a donation in
lieu of cards to Christian Aid/ Present Aid, we , as a village could
then make a gift that could make a real difference to less
fortunate people. Even better, if you are a taxpayer, you can gift
aid your donation, so that for every £1 donated, an extra 28p can
be claimed as tax relief by the charity.
From 1st December, I will put up a display board for cards and
arrange for gift aid slips to be available. Donations can be put in
the box, immediately on your right as you go through the main
church door.
Last year we raised £120 which allowed us to purchase some
ducks, pigs, bees and beehives which went to families in real need.
Your donations make a real difference to others less fortunate
than ourselves. Thank you in anticipation and I will let you know
how we do in February's What‟s On.

Trusham Christmas Cards are now on sale at church after
services, The Cridford Inn, or from David Smethurst or any PCC

The Parish committee meeting on November 22nd were
informed that quotes were still awaited for the War
Memorial restoration and, that as grants could
become available next year, for this work, these
should be chased up. Nothing had yet been heard from
DCC concerning the requested grit bin in Church Lane,
but bags of grit had been placed up Trusham Hill. It
was agreed to keep the annual precept at £1,000.
The Village Hall committee meeting heard that there
were still outstanding works to be carried out, but the
hearing loop had been successfully installed and was
working well.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
JOHN WILLIG - It is with sadness that the news of the
sudden and untimely death of John Willig is announced. John,
together with Serge, ran the Moorstone Guest House and Bistro
in Bridford until their departure in late 2009 to start a new life in
Martinique. Sadly John suffered a heart attack and died on 11th
October, just days before he and Serge opened their new
restaurant. John was always full of life and had a huge personality
to match his great height. He will be sorely missed by many, and
our thoughts are with Serge at this time.
