PRESS RELEASE July 2010
Dad builds new locally sourced timber-framed outdoor classroom for village nursery
Dan Crabb, Jeanette Walker
Situated on a farm in the beautiful Surrey countryside,
Barnkids Nursery in Chiddingfold
can now proudly boast a splendid
roundwood timber-framed outdoor classroom
Hand-built by local carpenter and Dad, Dan Crabb of Dan Crabb Carpentry and Construction, it is constructed from local unprocessed sweet chestnut and sawn cedar timbers, all sourced from sustainably managed (FSC certified) Surrey Wildlife Trust woodlands.
"We love to get our children outside in the fresh air and enjoying nature as much as possible" says Barnkids owner Jeanette Walker, "so when we decided to develop the outside area it was really important to us that we had a covered space to provide shelter for our activities through sun and rain."
"My daughter goes to Barnkids", says Dan, "and knowing Jeanette's philosophy I knew she'd be interested in a low-impact, eco-friendly option so I approached her with the idea. With this type of structure you get to really appreciate the shape and feel of the wood as a natural material. I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out and I can't wait to see my daughter and all her friends using it".
The classroom is the centerpiece of a programme of work to develop an unused field into a wonderful new outdoor space for all the children which now includes raised vegetable beds and a sandpit.
"The children have always been able to use the playgrounds and go for walks on the farm" says Jeanette, "but the new space gives us loads more opportunities for outside learning and play. It looks fantastic and the children and staff are already using it every day."

who were unable to access a home suitable for their needs.

Gary McKinnon's mother hopeful of UK hacker trial
Free Gary
http://freegary.org.uk/
The mother of UK computer hacker Gary McKinnon says she is "confident"
the new coalition will halt his extradition to the US as early as next week.
Janis Sharp said the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats promised before
the election he would be tried in the UK. They would not want to be the
type of government which broke its promises as soon as it took power, she
said. Glasgow-born Mr McKinnon is accused of breaking into the US military
computer system and faces 60 years in jail. The 43-year-old, who has Asperger's
syndrome, says he was on a "moral crusade" to find classified documents
about UFOs

Some thoughts on the New coalition Goverment
Most political parties are internal coalitions,
Their members having a range of views. The idea of broad church parties, and some sort of concesus between the members or between rank and file and the leaders
Now assume that David Cameron wanted to move the Consertives towards the centre.The older rank and file would not have liked it,and maybe the younger activest also
But with The Lib - Dems in coalition Cameron can modernise his party
Whether or not the Thatcher Years were an aberation or the true face of the Tories we wait and see

Saving lives in road crashes BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8421281.stm
Four or five times a day, anyone near the Royal London Hospital in the capital's
East End can hear the familiar clatter of a helicopter taking off from the
roof of the Accident and Emergency wing.
On board is likely to be Dr Gareth Davies, a consultant in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care. Along with a paramedic, another doctor and two pilots, London's distinctive red air ambulance will be flying to the scene of a serious accident.
This could typically be someone who's fallen from a height, a child with serious burns, or even the victim of a shooting. Mostly however, it is to attend a serious road crash

Wheelie Bin Cleaning Services
Over the last few weeks there have been reports from the Witley/Milford and Charterhouse area about a male calling door to door offering wheelie bin cleaning services. This male offers to clean bins after they have been emptied and asks for £20 to cover a number of cleanings. The male then does not return to clean bins and offers a range of excuses why he is not able to carry out the work.
Unfornately, the male is plausible and very pleasant, and gives a home address in Horsell, Woking. He has provided documentation stating the Waverley Borough Council has given approval for his work, which is not true as Waverley do not endorse specific traders. He also carries a piece of paper which he claims is signed by a Surrey police officer. This is also a fake document, as we do not approve traders to operate.
This male is already under investigation by Surrey trading standards, and also by our colleagues in Woking.
Please could anyone approached by this man, or by any other trader you
may have suspicions of

I've written many pieces in our Parish
magazine about our bells;
at St Mary's Chiddingfold John.
By now I hope you appreciate that we have a very special legacy in these bells, and I do hope that the village is a much better place for having them. (It would be a very sad thing to NOT have them surely!)
However, I, and the other bell ringers, are mindful that our ringing is intrusive,
(loud).
Despite our best efforts, there are occasions when the music is not at it's
best, particularly when practice and learners are involved! Whilst we have
some sound-control, the sound of the bells does reach parts that other music
does not!
So I am asking the village, and anyone else affected, to let me know your views - More
