The photograph was contributed by Mike Bird. It was taken on the Kennet at Treacle Bolley in Marlborough. Busy concentrating on getting the picture, Mike slipped and almost landed up in the river. Not the weather for outdoor swimming Mike!

This spot is popularly said to have been named after a local miller, in the mid 19th century, who used to urge his fat, mottled pony on with the entreaty: 'Git up, old treacle bolly (belly)'. After that time, College puddings of the heavy variety became known as bolly.

An update following the Full Council Meeting held on

Monday 9 February 2015

PARISH COUNCIL

Speeding appears to be a big issue at the moment. The police are particularly concerned about speeding along the road through Easton Royal and Little Salisbury so please take care.

Closer to home, we’re trying to limit speed through Durley but it’s a long drawn out process – the first stage is for Wiltshire Highways to gather data on speeds and the volume of traffic. However, resources are limited and we’re in a queue! I’ll report back when I have more information.

Burbage Parish Council opposed the planning application to put advertising on the roundabout and I’m pleased to report that Wiltshire Council agreed with us and refused the application. Thanks must go to Stuart Wheeler who spoke for us at the planning meeting and to all those who registered their opinions online

Still on the subject of planning, a second application covering the Persimmon build on the land East of the High Street has been published The reference is 15/00885/REM and comments are invited until Thursday 12 March.

Regrettably Michaela Grabowski has decided to leave the Council. She has had a significant impact over the last twenty months not least in driving down the precept and updating standing orders. We wish her well. So the Council is still TWO councillors short! It would be good to fill the vacancies with someone from Durley and the outer reaches of the village.

Finally, a reminder that the Minutes of all meetings are posted on the Council notice boards and online.

Should you have any concerns or questions please contact the Parish Clerk, Joyce Turner, at clerk@Burbage-pc.org.uk.

Burbage Parish Council - Planning Burbage Parish Council receives copies of all relevant applications about 10 days after the application is registered.

The Council aims to visit all sites to discuss proposals with the applicant or their agent before making their decision at the next Planning Committee or Full Council Meeting. Generally three or four Councillors attend the site visit and they will only go onsite with the permission of the applicant or agent.

Outline details of planning applications likely to be discussed at the next meeting are listed in meeting agendas which are posted on Council notice boards and published online at:

http://burbage-pc.org.uk/meetings.php

The Council considers each application at a formal meeting. All Council meetings are open to Burbage Parish Residents. On the occasions where members of the public attend, they are invited to speak if they so wish. Decisions are recorded in the minutes of the meeting and relayed to Wiltshire Council to meet their published deadline.

The timeframe for making decisions is very tight and although we have two meetings a month when planning matters can be discussed, it can be a struggle depending if paperwork is slow in coming to the Council. We try to visit each applicant to discuss the issues and gather sufficient information to make an informed decision. Burbage Parish residents are encouraged to make their views known at Council meetings but rarely does anyone come along and so we can only assume that there is no concern. That said, residents can make comment direct to Wiltshire Council online and petition Stuart Wheeler, our local Councillor.

With the recent interest in development within the village and on its boundaries, I thought it a good time to remind everyone of the planning process as it affects Burbage Parish residents both inside and outside the Settlement Boundary:

Applicants submit proposals to Wiltshire Councilwho, ultimately make the decision to approve orotherwise.

Wiltshire Council publish the details online and in the Gazette & Herald (major applications only). Notices are also placed at the site and neighbours get a letter advising them of the application.

Online details can be found by searching for the appropriate pages at:

http://planning.wiltshire.gov.uk/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/GeneralSearch.aspx

To search for recent applications scroll down to the box marked Parish then look for Burbage in the list.

Then scroll down to Search dates within a specified number of months. Put in a number then press Search. Depending upon the number of months selected, it may take a few minutes to bring up the pages.

All planning applications submitted in the selected timeframe are listed with links to the specific page.

Each planning application has a unique number and all the plans and documents can be accessed through links. Anyone can make a comment online by following the link. Note there are three key dates: Date Application Registered, Last Date for Comments and Date of Decision. The whole process is supposed to be completed within about eight weeks.

It seems like a long time ago when you all completed your surveys and you have no doubt been wondering what has been happening – quite a lot !

At a public meeting in July 2013 it was decided to commence a Neighbourhood Development Plan, the question was how big would it be and how long would it take.

Since then we have followed a t i m e l i n e s e t b y N a t i o n a l Government.

We thought it would take about 18 months – in fact 18 months in we are at stage 8 of the process which is about half way through.

What we have achieved so far• We have formed a Steering

Group• We have defined our area and

had it accepted• W e h a v e c o n s u l t e d

extensively with the Parish and received some really good feedback

• We have completed an SEA (Sustainable Environmental Assessment) Scoping Report

• We have begun the draft NDP (Neighbourhood Development Plan)

Neighbourhood Planning Update

• We have an outline of the SEA

Report (which we also have to write as part of the process)

• We have begun a Consultation Report (which we also have to write as part of the process)

What happens next ?The Steering Group to:

• Keep the Parish Council involved in the process

• Write the SEA and Consultation Report• Complete the draft NDP• Show it to everybody ! - We hope to do

this publicly not long after Easter. Watch for the announcements.

The Parish Council to:• Stay informed about the progress of the

Plan• Continue being supportive of the Steering

Group• Keep everyone in the Parish informed of

how the Plan is progressing

The Parish to:• Keep reading our updates• Keep talking to the Steering Group or the

Parish Council to make sure your views are included.

Further information on progress can be found by accessing the agendas and minutes of Parish Council meetings and the regular NDP Steering Group meetings. These are posted on the notice boards and the Parish Council website.

COMMUNITY MESSAGINGWiltshire Community Messaging

In partnership with your local Neighbourhood Watch

Action Fraud have been using the system to warn members of the very latest scams and cons currently in use (not some years-old chain email that resurfaces from time to time, but real, bonafide scam warnings)

NHW have used the Messaging Service to keep members informed about immediate and local situations

Messages are sent out by email, text and voicemail - so if you have either limited or no Internet access, you can still receive the most important messages

Join today - go to www.wiltsmessaging.co.uk to sign up. You are able to control the amount of messages you receive, and when you receive them and who from: You can even turn Messaging off if going on holiday. You have full control over your membership and can change areas if you move

For further information contact: nhw@burbage-village.org.uk

Neighbourhood Watch has been working with Wiltshire Police, the Police and Crime Commissioners Office, Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network and Action Fraud, to bring you a new Community Messaging Service. We hope other relevant agencies will also participate in the not-too distant future

This has been adopted as the new Neighbourhood Watch membership register, enabling NHW to safeguard our membership and ensure continuity of cover at all times, whilst getting important messages and updates to you promptly. You will also be able to respond to any messages received, directly to the original source, and can share messages with friends and family

The service has been rolled-out throughout Wiltshire and has already has a very good response and success rate. Police alerts have been sent warning householders of local undesirables, missing people and animals, dangerous occurrences and general advice, as well as feedback from current or recently resolved incidents

[6]

We have just brought our documentation up to date according to Age UK Quality Standards which Wiltshire Council demands in order for us to receive our annual grant.

We have received a donation of £300 from the White Hart quiz evenings (run once a fortnight by Jane Dyson and Pete Moody) which will go towards some entertainment and the coach for various trips such as the bluebell woods.

Meanwhile the Day Centre is flourishing; we still have room for more members from the area if they would like to come and give it a try.

The real "Red Bull" Challenge.

Cycling down Westcourt lane I suddenly realised that the hedgerows had become supermarket shelves. Food, cigarettes, sweets and soft drinks wrappers and containers were stacked high all around.

The most popular brand by far was Red Bull (one every 10 or 15 yards) so I assume the drinker’s

head was so full of gas and caffeine that the can fell from his/her hand at high speed.

I also assume that someone with as little intelligent regard for our countryside and our village is unable to read so if you know who travels along Westcourt (and dumps) regularly, please read this to them and suggest they accept a real challenge and..............

BURBAGE FLOWER CLUBJANUARY 2015:

The January meeting saw the start of another year for Burbage Flower Club. The Annual General Meeting started at 6.30 pm followed at 7.30 pm by the first meeting of 2015.

Mischa Davis, a Trainee Demonstrator from the Wessex and Jersey Area of NAFAS gave a demonstration entitled Mad Hatters.

This was an excellent demonstration when she produced not only five delightful arrangements but kept us amused with her chat whilst she worked.

All her designs were raffled at the end of the evening and five lucky people took home a very exoctic flower display.

Here are some of her designs.

Mischa doing her first ‘hat’ design of the evening entitled “Princess”

The photo above is based on Jonny Depp in “The Wizard of Oz” and the “Yellow Brick Road”.

The one below shows the finished result.

BURBAGE FLOWER CLUB

The top right was based on Carmen Miranda who was a Portuguese singer and actress from the 1930s to the 1950s. Bottom left: A birthday cake with candles and bottom right is Mischa. She had to travel back to Bournemouth afterwards.

The top left is based on a hat worn by Gertrude Shilling at an Ascot ‘Ladies Day’ in the 1960s. She became well known for some of the rather outrageous designs which her Son made for her.

BURBAGE FLOWER CLUBFEBRUARY 2015:

The February meeting was our first ‘Freestyle’ evening of the new year. This meant that all members could take materials and produce their own design and some of them were very impressive!

If I missed anybody’s design, I apologise -

IT’S A STITCH UPWe finished the year with a very pleasant meal at the Three Horse Shoes attended by eleven members and had a break until January 24.

This got us off to an excellent start with 18, four of whom were new ladies – one with young daughter to assist, another with even younger

daughter who slept blissfully throughout! Knitting seems to be popular at the moment, but there is scope to do anything from upholstery to cross stitch, free machine embroidery to alterations. From time to time someone will have a technique or skill to pass on and most of us have a go.

WOMAN’S OWNNovember – the Christmas Crafts Workshop

The Christmas Crafts Workshop was this year attended by a small, but select group – let us say, the weather was inclement, coughs and colds abounded or folk were taking the opportunity of a pre-Christmas break somewhere sunny or snowy! - but did those select few work hard!

June Eales led the marzipan bears-making group, Jean Weller the ‘bagalopes’ – (wonderfully decorated gift bags), June Vallis, felt Christmas tree decorations, Helen Colling, Christmas cards and Di Atcheson demonstrated Christmas table and mantlepiece flower arrangements.

Everyone went home with something lovely they had made and plenty of ideas!

The Royal British Legion, Eastcourt Road.

and the theatre visit which is usually at

The Watermill Theatre, Bagnor, near Newbury.

Information for that is not normally available until early Spring

Members-only events are in italics.However, guests are welcome at other times and may be encouraged to join.

December – the Candlelit SupperA better turn out this month in the interests of festive cheer - no Scrooges here, thank you! It was of course our annual Candlelit buffet supper, with members providing the usual superb savoury dishes, followed by delectable desserts from committee members, accompanied by plenty of wine and followed by coffee and mints. Seconds were enjoyed and not much was left! Invited guests were Glenda Pearce and Sue Goalby as representatives from Good Companions. Thereafter followed carol singing led by keyboard player Romaine Daw, who kept us in all in tune.

January – the AGM with cheese and wine

The AGM was this year attended by a small, but select group, for which we will once again blame the weather, illness and winter holidays! However we do look forward to seeing a return of familiar faces and new ones next month. After the business was dealt with, another wonderful selection of cheese and wine was available. A quiz identifying newsreaders past and present kept people amused while they chatted and ate. It was brought to our attention that next year (2016) we are 50 - Woman’s Own that is! We were encouraged to think of ways in which to celebrate.

[16]

WOMAN’S OWN

The 2015 program was introduced and has now been circulated, although there are spares for anyone who has not yet received their copy or wants to give to friends and it is also found below. The Watermill Theatre have not yet released their August production title so we await this with eager anticipation

A vacancy on the committee, as Jan Appleton has reluctantly had to step down, was filled by Kay Francis, who will do a sterling job. Jan was thanked for her valuable contribution, and Kay for swiftly stepping [or being guided!] into the breach.Raffle prizes were won by Mary Powell and Brenda Mantock.

The Club's next session is at the British Legion Hall, Burbage, on Monday, 16 March, 2015

starting at 19:30.

Burbage & District Model Railway Club

At the February 2015 session Club members continued to lay ballast and create scenery over the Club layout. Some very realistic scenes were produced by Members.

Other Members continued with ballasting but had to be careful not to get particles trapped in points and electrical connections. This was most certainly painstaking work and demanded much patience.

Some building work was also produced including a two track engine shed.

Our Membership catchment area does not only include Burbage but also the Collingbournes, Great Bedwyn, Milton Lilbourne, Marlborough and Devizes.

We have many more places for new members and if you are the parent of young folk committed a little too much with electronic gadgetry, bring them along and share with the excitement and also learn a little of engineering at a small scale.

See you at the next meeting.

Please feel free to call me, Sonny Hamid tel: 01672 811 933 if you wish to discuss this

wonderful activity further or can provide a donation to help build our layout.

At our January 2015 Meeting, we had the opportunity to do a portrait shoot with two females and one male model.

The lighting kit was kindly brought in by Member Larry E. and consisted of cold CFL (chlorofluorocarbon, Halogenated compound or Compact Fluorescent Lamps) which gave the opportunity to see what the results would be prior to taking the shot. This method provided us with several different options for the lighting and gave us results from flat to feathered lighting, i.e., highlight to shadow gradation.

The session lasted for a period of just over two hours and over five hundred frames were shot between us.

Sadly, the foot fall in the evening sessions is not as good as it should be, so, its over to you Burbage - use it or lose it!

BURBAGE & DISTRICT CAMERA & VIDEO CLUB

At the Club's February 2015 Meeting, Members had the opportunity to assess and critique the past months work of portraiture and Christmas 2014 images.

There was much enthusiasm and the session over-shot its time allocation in the meeting place!

The Club had intended to do yet another portrait shoot during the March session and the subjects would have been Mother and Baby.

Unfortunately, because of delays, this project will be held over until the April session.

As an alternative, Members decided that for the March session, we should include male head and shoulder portraits and table top photography. If you wish to participate as a model or wish to photograph small objects, pleases feel free to attend the session.

If you manage an organisation in Burbage and wish to be the subject of our projects or are willing to be our model for the session, pleased do let us know.

The Club's next session is scheduled for Wednesday 18 March starting at 19:30 hours in the Royal British Legion Hall.

The Christmas market was very successful once again and the photos (submitted by Sonny Hamid and Mike Bird) captivate some of the excitement of the weekend.

There were lots of stalls giving people an opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts that were hand-made and superbly crafted, as well as a cake stall and table decorations.

Refreshments were available. People joined in with the music and singing of carols.

It all added up to an atmospheric start to Christmas.

Here’s a flashback to Christmas (seems a long time ago now).

The Burbage Mole.

THE BURBAGE MOLE

You never know where he will strike

This little creature with terrible sight

He likes to leave a tidy mound

To let us know he’s been around

He could visit me or he could visit you

We just don’t really want him to

I’m sure he’s not trying to be really mean

He just likes to dig, he’s so very keen

He eats many pests, so does some good

So be glad he’s in the neighbourhood

Rather cute though, this furry soul

The pesky little Burbage mole

Meanwhile, bring another large pan of water to the boil. Cook the lasagne according to pack instructions until al dente.Drain (reserve a little water), cut each sheet into 4 pieces and keep each piece in the reserved water to stop them sticking together.

Place the spinach in a large, hot pan with a splash of water. Cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Add the crème fraîche, broad beans, dill, lemon zest and juice. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until heated through. Season well.

Place a sheet of pasta on each plate, top with some of the asparagus and sauce, then repeat with the remaining 3 sheets, the asparagus and sauce.

According to the last census, there are 47,608 people in Wiltshire providing care and support to a relative, child, partner or friend who would not be able to manage on their own.

There are many reasons why someone may not be able to cope unaided including physical or mental disability, old age, long-term illness, special educational need, eating disorder or a problem with drugs or alcohol.

It is estimated that three in five people will become a carer at some point in their lives. The problem is that most people will not identify themselves as such – people simply consider themselves as a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or friend doing what they would be doing anyway. Many also mistake the word ‘carer’ with those providing paid care work in a residential home or domiciliary agency capacity.

Help and support for people who care

Carer Support Wiltshire is a charity with a team of support workers who can provide information and support to carers living in Wiltshire, at the other end of the telephone, or face to face, along with accessing to counselling and advice relating to your role. All of our services are free and confidential for anyone aged 18 and over and we can offer you the chance to have a break through social cafés, days out, activities, craft groups and complementary therapies.

We will shortly be running a monthly carers cafés in nearby Marlborough where you can come along to chat with other carers over a hot drink or two.
