WELCOME... 

...to the August / September 2018 edition of 

Village Voice... 

Welcome to the late summer edition of VV, and 

what a summer it has been so far! Blistering 

heat has meant that our usual lush green 

landscape is scorched, and even those who 

rejoice in the heat are looking for some respite 

and rain! 

In this issue of VV we report on the 

successful events of the summer so far, these 

include the Penn 7 & Super Fun Run, the Beer 

Festival, and the TGMS 50th Anniversary 

celebrations. The sports clubs have enjoyed the 

favourable weather conditions, and have sent 

pictures to show how much fun they have 

enjoyed over the summer so far. 

We have updates for you on the Gomm 

Valley Development plans, which can also be 

found on the P&TGRS website with 

illustrations.

THE VILLAGES 

Penn Patient Participation Group 

The PPG AGM took 

place at Penn Surgery 

on 23rd July. It was an 

opportunity to thank 

Gill Markham, who 

stood down from the 

PPG Executive 

Committee, for her 

tireless commitment to 

the PPG, initially as Secretary and then as Chair 

for the past three years. Gill’s communication 

skills and warm personality have been highly 

valued by her PPG and Practice colleagues. 

From 1st August Buckinghamshire CCG are 

asking patients to order repeat medications and 

equipment (e.g. catheter and stoma bags and 

accessories) from your GP practice directly, 

rather than from your pharmacy or medical 

equipment supplier. Patients can order repeat 

medication online through Patient Access or by 

taking the completed repeat prescription request 

slip to the surgery. Please note: there are 

exceptions to the change, for those patients who 

need pharmacy support. More information is 

available on the surgery website and at 

Reception. 

The dates of the flu clinics will be posted on 

the surgery website by September. 

The Sports & Social Club 

Important news: The social club has a new 

website www.pennandtylersgreensportsand 

socialclub.co.uk. which will provide regular 

updates on activities, availability to hire rooms 

and any special events. 

Date for your Diary: Fireworks - the firework 

display will be held at the Sports & Social Club 

on the 10th November, details will be published 

locally. 



Although we will have only just recovered 

from the World Cup, the premier league and 

championship will kick off again in August. 

Once again, Penn will be showing all Friday, 

Saturday and Sunday games in HD quality. 

Come and join us and save the satellite fees, you 

will be most welcome. Dave Taylor 

P&TG Beer Festival 

The 8th P&TG Annual Beer Festival proved to 

be another great day out for the village. 

Anton Setchell and his team put together 

another fantastic range of music, for all tastes, 

including a 24 piece choir, a first for the beer 

Festival! 28 varieties of beer and cider were 

available, along with the new 'food village',

THE PENN 7 

& SUPER FUN RUN 

Following another year of preparations, 

when sometimes with all the bureaucracy 

we now have to jump through, it seemed 

as if it might not happen - with the 

magnificent support from an army of 

volunteers, the 2018 Super Fun Run and 

Penn 7 came to fruition... 

The races attracted yet more large fields, 301 

runners for the Penn 7, 459 for the Fun Run and 

69 for the Mini Marathons, great numbers and 

great support for the 35th running (sic) of this 

fantastic village event. You, the villagers came 

out in droves during the day, though it might 

have been a tad warmer, but thanks to you all 

for giving your support to the event. 

I would like to start off, on behalf of the 

organising committee, by saying a VERY 

VERY BIG THANK YOU to the wonderful 

volunteers who performed the most important 

role of the weekend, marshalling the junctions 

and points on the route of both courses. Without 

your efforts, the races would not have been able 

to take place, but you provided a secure and safe 

environment for all the 

runners, and there were no 

reported incidents, so you 

all did a brilliant job! 

This year we were 

raising monies for Sparkles 

and Charlies Footsteps, so 

to Jo and Tim Oliver, (and 

Charlie) thanks for 

organising your group to man the inflatables on 

the day, also to Steve and his bar staff, and John 

and Debbie and their BBQ team. The music 

during the afternoon provided great talent and 

entertainment, so thanks to all the performers. 

Having moved to chip timing for the Penn7, 

which is usually expected these days for the 

organised road races, we also moved into new 

technology using card readers to take payments, 

which is something we are looking to expand 

next year! 

The Fun Run, still being 

recorded manually, relys 

on the finishing team, 

thanks to those who stood 

in to issue numbers, record 

placings and deliver 

medals, we are human, and 

sometimes things get 

missed, but we think at the 

end of the day, everyone 

got a finishing position!! 

We may consider chip 

timing for the Fun Run in 

the future, but that will 

incur slight price increases.

Village Hall Refurbishment 

Please note that Tylers Green Village Hall will 

be closed from Monday 20 August to Saturday 

25 August to enable refurbishment, redecoration 

and other maintenance work to take place. 

There will be no events or fitness classes taking 

place in the hall that week.

Brian Bennett Retires 

Brian Bennett, who 

for the last 15 years, 

has been the 

P&TGRS Company 

Secretary, recently, 

and reluctantly 

concluded that the 

time had come to 

pass the reins of 

office to a new 

incumbent, and so 

announced his 

retirement. 

Brian drew up the structure and procedures of 

the new Residents Society when the P&TG 

Residents Association was combined with the 

P&TG Society in 2003, and thereafter his long 

experience as a senior civil servant was 

employed in running the new Society like a 

well-oiled machine for the considerable benefit 

of our community. He has ensured that the 

Society has maintained close contacts with local 

government and MPs and enjoy their attention 



and respect. His wisdom and support of 

colleagues across the range of the Society’s 

activities will be sorely missed. 

Brian was concerned that his going should 

not throw the Society’s work into disarray and 

was pleased that Ian Petrie volunteered to take 

his place. Ian has considerable administrative 

and management experience in the business 

world as well as managing a large medical 

practice and chairing a school PTA. Ron 

Saunders, who a few years ago took over 

Brian's task of recording our meetings, has 

handed over this role to Madalyn Roker, who 

will be working closely with Ian Petrie. 

So, the world keeps turning and the P&TGRS 

will continue to do its best for the good of our 

community. Thank you Brian for the essential 

part you have played in keeping us going over 

so many years. Miles Green P&TGRS Chair 

Local History Group 

The history of Penn & Tylers Green and its 

surrounding areas is astonishingly varied and 

interesting and I would like to set up a local 

history group which would bring together 

those already actively involved and 

encourage others to participate in many 

different ways - by researching their own 

subject or collaborating with someone else, 

publishing the outcomes, creating a really 

helpful and accessible archive of local 

sources and photographs, giving 

presentations and talks, and so on. 

In the past, the now defunct P&TG 

Society staged several memorable evenings 

acting out dramatic episodes with period 

music and I would also like to see this 

capacity renewed. So there will be roles for 

all kinds of skills and interests, not just 

researchers. 

If you are interested, please do get in touch 

with me (815589) or Ron Saunders (816237) 

to let us know what ideas you may have and 

how you would like to be involved. 

Suggestions are welcome and in due 

course a meeting will be called. Miles Green

CHURCH NEWS 

Holy Trinity & St Margaret's 

As VV lands on your doormats, many readers 

will have children at the Lighthouse Christian 

Holiday week either at William Ramsey School 

in Hazlemere or Beaconsfield High School. I 

am delighted to report that the success of these 

holiday clubs (we have to turn children away 

every year) has resulted in Lighthouse holiday 

clubs in Great Missenden, Hazlemere, Marlow, 


Burnham, High Wycombe, Cressex and 

Beaconsfield. This summer, over 6,000 children 

will attend a ‘Lighthouse’ in our area. The 

theme for the week is an interpretation of Bear 

Grylls’ ‘The Island’. Being Lighthouse, the 

development of this theme will be very 

inventive and hands-on. Behind the arts, crafts, 

drama, worship and fun is the thought that, even 

though Bear Grylls is a committed Christian, 

Jesus Christ is the only one who can really help 

us survive on this island called earth. 

Every September some 40,000 volunteers 

across England organise 5,000 events to 

celebrate our fantastic history and culture. It's

colours and finishes to all the surrounding areas. Our ranges are complimented with a broad selection of work 

surfaces and innovative storage solutions alongside appliances, sinks and taps from all the leading brands.

your chance to see hidden places and try out 

new experiences – all of which are FREE to 

explore. Holy Trinity participates and will be 

open for the whole weekend of the 7- 9th 

September. There will be refreshments on the 

Saturday and Sunday and the bell tower will be 

open to visitors on Sunday only from 2-4 pm. 

Lastly, you are invited to join us for our annual 

Harvest Supper in the Village Hall on Saturday 

29th September at 7.30pm. It is the Church’s 

expression of gratitude to God for all the good 

things he gives us and especially at this time for 

the Harvest. We enjoy a slap-up meal and 

terrific entertainment. It is free but because the 

Village Hall can only take 150 or so, we ask that 

you book your place with Gail in the Parish 

Office:office@holytrinityandstmargarets.co.uk 

or 813254. You can find us at holytrinityand 

stmargarets.co.uk (or Google Holy Trinity and 

St Margarets). Blessings, Revd Mike Bisset 

Penn Free Methodist Church 

Do visit our special designated website for 

recorded sermons: www.soundcloud.com/ 

penn-free-methodists. Recent uploads include an 

address based on 2 Samuel 22:1-7 and is 

entitled, IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON 

THE LORD. Both before and after becoming 

king, David had to deal with many enemies. 

Whilst Saul was still on the throne, David had to 

flee for his life, and hide in caves in the 

wilderness. Through all these dangers the Lord 

protected him, as he earnestly prayed. So David 

testifies in this passage to receiving God’s help 

in the midst of great distress. This is also the 

confidence of the believer in Christ today, who 

likewise experiences the unique protecting 

power of God, as he faces much opposition 

around him to Biblical truth. 

A further uploaded sermon is an exposition of 

Habakkuk 3:5-9, and is entitled THE REALITY 

OF GOD’S NATURE AS JUDGE. In a time of 

much false teaching and seeking after popularity 

within churches, many people have been 

deceived into thinking that the Lord Jesus never 

judges people and that God’s love is 



unconditional for all. Such error is is not what 

the Bible teaches, but is used a pretext for 

condoning practices which God’s word clearly 

condemns. In this passage in Habakkuk we are 

told of God that “burning coals went forth at His 

feet”, referring to His anger upon those who 

persistently defy Him. Yes, He is also full of 

mercy, but He comes as a severe Judge against 

those who refuse to repent of their sin. 

Our Sunday services are at 11am and 6.30pm 

and our midweek Bible Study and prayer 

meeting is at 8pm on Wednesdays. All are most 

welcome. Pastor Peter Simpson, www.realchristianity.

Tylers Green Methodist Church 

Our minister, Rev John Richey has now ‘sat 

down’ (the Methodist term for retirement) and 

he and his wife Deacon Ruth Richey have 

moved to London where Ruth has been 

appointed Deputy Warden of the Methodist 

Diaconate Order. They will both be missed not 

only at Tylers Green but in the whole of the 

High Wycombe Methodist Circuit. During 

August, if you have need of a minister, contact 

me in the first instance on 815256. 

Our new minister, Rev. Vida Foday, takes up 

her appointment on 1st September and will have 

pastoral charge of the churches at Tylers Green 

Holmer Green, Cryers Hill and Downley. Vida 

tells me that getting to know her new 

congregations and their needs will be top of her 

agenda. She says that as Christians we are all 

called to be ambassadors for Christ and she has 

shared her hopes that together we can become 

good ambassadors for the Lord. The first 

opportunity to hear Vida preach at Tylers Green 

will be at our harvest thanksgiving on 30th 

September when our harvest gifts will be 

donated to the Whitechapel Mission in London. 

During August we have an open coffee 

morning on Saturday 11th. If you would like to 

come along we open at 10.00am and it would 

we good if you can bring some holiday 

memories with you (not compulsory!) Peter

VILLAGE CARE 

OPEN GARDENS 


Photographs: Rob Haddon 

Village Care ran a highly successful Open 

Gardens. On a hot sunny Summer afternoon, on 

the first day of July, a record number (328) of 

people turned out to view the 10 Open Gardens 

that were on display around the centre of our 

quintessential English village. 

Of added interest this year, was the significant 

number of folk from outside Penn & Tylers 

Green...testament perhaps to the wider publicity 

employed on a couple of gardening websites in 

addition to our local Village Voice and the smart 

boards around the village from Savills. 

The fine weather also encouraged folk to 

consume more tea and cake both at ‘the 

Sanctuary’ (St Margaret’s Church Hall) and 

especially at Mary Coker’s very hospitable 

garden ‘pit stop’...to the extent that another 

record was set in takings here. Special thanks 


go to to Mary and her family for this wonderful 

service, and to our local sponsor, ‘fm’, who also 

supplied an added nice touch within their swish 

wallet containing the garden map route and pen: 

a Honey Bee flower mix of seeds! 

All in all, a lovely warm atmosphere... 

physically and emotionally...over our Village 

that Sunday afternoon which resulted in just 

over £2000 being raised for our Village Care 

charity to donate, in the coming year, to local 

worthy causes, such as the defibrillator now 

positioned outside the Middle School for the 

benefit of the whole community. 

We are hugely grateful to the local folk who 

so generously open their lovely gardens each 

year as well as those who view them and 

contribute so much to the ability of Village Care 

to meaningfully give back to this lovely 

community of which we are all so privileged to 

be a part of. 

We would like to give you advance 

warning that we will hold our AGM on 

Friday 12th October in St. Margaret's 

Church Sanctuary, at 7.30 for 8 pm. It 

is usually a short meeting with lots of 

wine and nibbles (before, during and 

after). 

Please come and meet your fellow 

volunteers, and bring anyone you can 

think of who might join our ranks; we 

always need new telephonists and 

drivers. We are still looking for a new 

Treasurer. If anyone wishes to drive, run 

the telephone, or be our Treasurer, 

please ring me Peter Sachs 257823

Tylers Green Middle School 

The Summer Term at TGMS has been a really 

exciting and successful end to the academic 

year. I am enormously proud of what we have 

achieved and in particular offer my 

congratulations to the Year 6 pupils for the 

tremendous end of Key Stage 2 SATS results. In 

comparison to the national picture, yet again the 

staff at Tylers Green Middle School have 

continued to support our pupils to achieve 

significantly above other schools across the

2018 has been an amazing and memorable 

year as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. There 

has been an overwhelming response to the 

fundraising events such the Golden Anniversary 

Ball and the Music Concert that took place in 

July. Whilst the total amount raised has not been 

finalised, we expect it to be in the region of 

£20,000. This is a staggering amount and thanks 

go to all of the members of the Golden 

Committee for their hard work, led by the 

enthusiastic and energetic Marianne Whitlock. 

The actual 50th anniversary is 5th September 

2018; which happens to be a County INSET 

Day and the beginning of the 2018-19 academic 

year. TGMS staff and governors will celebrate 

with the children on the first day of term, 6th 

September. We plan to have a special 

anniversary assembly and birthday cake for all! 

On Friday 21st September, there will be an 

invitation only Community Tea Party for the 



elderly in the village which has been funded by 

Waitrose in Beaconsfield. There shall also be an 

opportunity to view the school and a display of 

the history of the school over the past 5 decades.

celebration to TGMS as children, staff, parents 

and the local community came together to raise 

a glass to 50 years of our wonderful school! 

Over 300 guests filled the beautiful marquee on 

an unforgettable summer’s evening to listen to a 

series of songs from the last five decades. 

Guests were entertained by the school choir and 

the Local Vocals and were treated to a one-off 

performance by the, quite brilliant, staff choir 

who had formed only weeks before especially 

for the occasion! The marquee was filled with 

the sounds of a school and village community 

coming together to create a wonderful evening 

of very special memories. 

The marquee was utilised to the full over the 

next couple of days as the children enjoyed their 

end of year discos on the specially created 

dance floor, complete with an enormous 

glitter-ball! By Saturday evening, the space had 

been transformed into a sophisticated venue 

ready to receive more than 320 guests who 

arrived for the Golden Ball on possibly one of 

the most glorious days of the year! England had 

secured their place in the semi-finals of the 

World Cup and the atmosphere couldn’t have 

been happier. Guests were treated to an evening 

of wonderful food and were served at the bar by 

a number of TGMS staff who had offered their 

support to ensure the evening ran swimmingly! 

The wonderful Black Sheep entertained 

everyone with the most fabulous evening of live 

music and managed to get every single guest up 

on the dance floor for the whole evening. If 

people had ever questioned the sense of 

community in our village they needed to have 

looked no further than inside TGMS’ marquee

- a truly memorable evening that people will be 

talking about for many years to come! 

Most importantly, the events thus far have 

raised in excess of £20K (monies are still being 

counted) towards the creation of the proposed 

outdoor learning area which will be a lasting 

legacy for our children for many years to come. 

The generosity of our sponsors and guests on 

the night has been overwhelming and TGMS is 

truly grateful for everyone’s support. 

And the celebrations are ongoing - on 21st 

September TGMS will open its doors from 

1.30pm-2.45pm to welcome our elderly 

community to come along for a cup of tea and a 

slice of a very special 50th cake. This is strictly 

a ticket-only event and tickets may be obtained 

from the TGMS office. From 5pm-9pm at our 

Open Evening, guests will be able to hear about 

the school’s history, view some memorabilia 

and enjoy a tour hosted by members of the 


NEW TIGER TURF COURTS 


School Council and the House Captains. 

The 50th anniversary of TGMS has certainly 

been a memorable occasion so far and we look 

forward to the forthcoming events! Vanessa 

Pinkney, Headteacher 

Tylers Green First School 

Since the last edition of VV, we have had a 

great deal going on in school. We were visited 

by a travelling theatre company who performed 

the Little Princess and then ran some workshops 

for Year 2. We had our sports morning on the 

Common. There was a great atmosphere and 

sportsmanship amongst all the children. We 

started earlier to miss the full sun and cloud 

cover kept us cool– the perfect weather 

conditions! The children had been practising 

and the determined looks on some of their faces 

was incredible. Our youngest children 

competed very well, win or lose, the children all 

enjoyed taking part. Parents enjoyed 

encouraging the children and helped 

support the winners to their podium. I 

would like to thank the Parish Council for 

allowing us to hold our events on the 

Common. It is a lovely space for us to 

access and puts us into the heart of the 

community. “Hartbeeps” kindly 

sponsored Ice pops for the children after 

the Sports activities. 

We had other exciting trips including; 

• Whipsnade Zoo- when 

we were very lucky with the 

weather and the children 

really loved the opportunity 

to see the animals and came 

back with lots to tell us 

about their adventure; 

• The Chiltern Open Air 

Museum which was 

thoroughly enjoyed by our 

youngest children; 

• RAF Hendon; 

• A visit from the owner 

of an owl sanctuary so we 

were able to see the owls up

close in the classrooms for Year 2. 

Both Year 2 classes visited Holy Trinity 

Church where they learned some of the history 

of the church and had the chance to ring a 

church bell and look at and play the organ and 

learn about the vestments worn by the Vicar. 

Thanks to Mike Bisset and his team from the 

church for giving our children such a wonderful 

morning in this beautiful church. 

We held our Summer Fair and leavers’ camp 

over the last weekend. We had beautiful weather 

for the Summer Fair but the campers did get 

rained on heavily for about half an hour!! We 

attended leavers’ assemblies and leavers’ 

concerts with a little sadness that our wonderful 

pupils will be moving on to their new schools. 

The children all received a small gift as they 

leave the school to remind them of their time at 

Tylers Green First School. This links to our very 

special teddy in our bell tower who watches 

over the school at all times! I hope that the 

children’s memories of TGFSwill remain with 

them as they start on the next stage of their 

learning journey. We also sid goodbye to staff 

leavers and wish them happiness in the future. 

Our pupils have become the confident, 

independent young people with a thirst for 

learning and a positive, motivated and 

resilient attitude just as I knew they would 

three years ago when they began their 

school journey with us. It has been a real 

pleasure to be part of their learning and life 

journey. Mrs J Dieppe, Headteacher, 

The P&TG Village Pre-school 

Our Quiz night in June was a resounding 

success and we raised £750 ! Thank you to 

all involved, including Eddie Bellamy at 

the Sports & Social Club for letting us use 

their premises. The money raised will 

subsidise an end of term trip to Bekonscot 

for all of our children. 

We are currently setting up a sensory 

area in the Pre-school which all the 

children can access but it will particularly 

benefit those children with sensory 



difficulties. We have successfully secured a 

grant from Chepping Wycombe Parish Council 

for £250, thank you CWPC. 

We are fully booked from September 2018 

for the year; sorry to anyone who has been 

disappointed by not getting a space. Please book 

early for a place in September 2019! We offer 

places to children ages 2-4 years & 30 hours 

free childcare can be provided for those who are 

eligible. Check here for your eligibility www. 

childcarechoices.gov.uk . Contact Nicky 

Lovegrove (Manager) for further details or to

Little Oaks 

At the end of a busy and exciting year, the Class 

of 2018 graduated at Little Oaks Two in 

mid-July. What a fantastic year the children 

have had at all Little Oaks locations in the 

villages. 

The teachers experience mixed emotions as 

always; it’s hard to say goodbye, and yet we’re 

so proud of each and every one of these 

amazing children as they move on to the next 

stage of their learning journey!

SPORTS 

NEWS ROUND UP 

P&TG Lawn Tennis Club 

Summer tennis season is now in full swing at 

the club and it’s been really fabulous to see so 

many people of all ages making the most of the 

amazing sunshine we’ve enjoyed so far… Can 

it last?!! 

We have enjoyed several busy socials at the 

club recently with the Ladies’ Wagstaff Cup, 

won by Jacqui Simpson and Emma Attock. The 

Mixed Handicap Competition enjoyed a great 

turnout - winners Amy Finnemore-Gibbs & 

Mandy Cobbing – the evening was finished in 

style with delicious Pimms and Paella provided 

by Caroline Oakley and Club Chairman Nigel 

Godwin. 

The Parent & Child tournament weekend was 

a lot of fun and so great to see the juniors out 


enjoying a bit of friendly competition. It was a 

busy weekend for Alan Connor who managed 

the double with Oliver in U10s, and Daniel in 

U12s, with Kevin and Joshua Pryce winning the 

U18s. Well done to everyone! 

Lastly our annual Chairman’s Golf evening 

took place on the Wycombe Heights par 3 

course. Maria Bailey was top lady golfer on the 

night and Andrew Barr overall winner. Trophies 

were handed out during a well earned drink at 

the Red Lion afterwards. 

The club junior section also deserves 

particular note with the U8s taking part in their 

first tournament. Two of our juniors in particular 

have been enjoying real success recently; 

Robyn Went and Oliver Connor who are both in 

Year 5 have in the last 4 weeks represented 

Buckinghamshire as the Number 1 Girl and 

Boy in the Lionel Cox and the County Cup U10 

Teams. The County Cup includes 40 counties 

and each are placed in a box of 5 Teams, with 

only the Top team getting through to the Finals. 

The Bucks Boys had to play Hertfordshire, 

Surrey, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Oliver 


secured Singles Wins against the Top Player for 

Herts, Oxford and Berks, and only narrowly 

lost to the Surrey #1 in a Tie Break, so Bucks 

finished 2nd in their Group behind Surrey. 

We’ve also been continuing to improve the 

club’s facilities with generous sponsorship of 

three new courtside benches. There has been no 

better time to come and try out the fantastic 

courts, so if you are interested in taking up 

tennis for the first time or coming back to the 

game, please visit our website for full details on 

how to join www.penntennis.net or check out

P&TG Football Club 

It has been amazing seeing so many people use 

the football club this summer during the world 

cup and at the beer festival. Hopefully the 

village appreciates what we have, and will 

continue to support us to enable us to continue 

to function. Our fight for floodlights will 

continue throughout 2018. On the pitch the 

season kicks off soon at our temporary home at 



Amersham Town with a new management team 

heralding a new era. 

After seven seasons managing the first team 

Giovanni Sepede has stepped down as manager, 

alongside James Pritchard, Co-manager for the 

last three seasons, the pair won back to back 

Hellenic Division One East titles. Together they 

have overseen the most successful period for the 

club, and we are so grateful for all they have 

given us. We now have to move on to a new era 

and are therefore delighted to have secured the 

services of a former Penn player and Chalfont 

Wasps manager, Gareth Williams. He will be 

supported by Neil Cannings who moves from 

reserve team manager to assistant first team 

manager. With the promotion of Neil Cannings 

to the First Eleven management team we are 

delighted to announce that Nigel Miller, the 

former first team Goalkeeping Coach will 

manage the team for the 2018/19 season. 

Former first team Captain and team Penn & 

Tylers Green FC legend Jack Harding will be 

Player/Assistant Manager. Nigel has been 

working towards his UEFA coaching licences 

over the last year and this is a great opportunity 

for his first steps into senior club management. 

Having Jack along side him is a very positive 

move and one we are delighted with. 

Another resignation also came, sadly, from 

our legendary Physio, dressing room motivator 

and another member of the successful team, 

namely our Physio, John “Grimmo” Grimsdell. 

His upbeat nature and subtle wit have calmed 

many a nervous dressing room over his many 

years of service and he will step down as soon 

as a suitable successor has been installed. We 

will all miss him. 

As our female section continues to grow and 

flourish, we are adding a new section to our club 

this season, our first ever Ladies team, who will 

be managed by Damian Atkins and will be 

playing in the Thames Valley Womens league 

Division 2. Please get in touch if you want to 

be involved! 

As the new season approaches for the junior 

and girls section we are on the look out for 

23

junior players, particually those age U13 and 

U14. If your child wants to join our fabulous 

club please do get in contact. James Keating 

P&TG Cricket Club 

Sponsored by Argent Wealth Management 

At the time of writing, we are in the middle of 

this country’s longest heatwave since 1976 and 

this has delivered some beautiful afternoons and 

evenings in which to play cricket. No mid-week 

evenings fretting over weekend weatherforecast, 

no rushing onto the field with the 

covers, no rain breaks or abandoned matches - 

just hour on hour of glorious sunshine. 

On the playing front, the two Senior XIs have 

played a total of 21 matches to date and with 

more wins than defeats, both sides are enjoying 

successful seasons. On their day, and when 

player-availability is good, our 1st XI is as good 

as any in the League and a title-challenge is 

hopefully not beyond them this year. 

Player availability remains a challenge for all 

Clubs in this day and age, particularly in a 

summer with weekend TV fixtures for the 

football World Cup. However we at P&TGCC 




have been working hard with our Junior section 

over the past 10 years and we are now wellserved 

by a good number of Junior players (and 

Dads!) who have stepped up to make both XIs 

more competitive this year. 

Tom Demery, Connor Haumann, Jake Wilson 

and Kenzie Christopherson (all U15-U18) have 

played regularly for the 1st XI this year whilst 

Lochie Christopherson, Danny Mussell, Henry 

Barber, Alex Woolley, LJ Ekendhal, James 

Woodhead and Amy Woodhead (all U12-U15) 

have debuted for the Senior 2nd XI this 

summer, with Henry (U14) recording his first 50 

in a victory v Emmbrook & Beardwood in early 

June. It has been wonderful to see them 

representing the Club with such distinction, 

adding lots of agility to our fielding displays as 

well as scoring valuable runs and taking 

important wickets. 

We have also seen significant contributions 

from ‘occasional’ players who, perhaps 

encouraged onto the field by the beautiful 

weather, have added some experience and 

helped our younger players. This has all created 

a feel-good story at the Club this year and it’s 

satisfying to hear tales of the fun being had 

making their way to parties and barbeques 

around the village all summer. If that persuades 

more people to think about dusting off their kit 

and having a go again in the future, that would 

be just fine. 

There is plenty of good news from the Colts’ 

side of the Club. Sunday morning coaching 

sessions have been thoroughly enjoyable this 

year, thanks again to the unbroken sunshine, and

have been well-attended by the youngest players 

(U7-U9). On the competitive-playing side, we 

have played 30 matches across 4 age-groups 

with our U12 and U14 sides pushing hard at the 

top of their League Tables. The standout 

individual performance of the Colts season 

came from Joshua Morris who took a hat-trick 

in an U12 match at Chenies & Latimer. All 

clean-bowled…not bad at all, especially 

considering that Joshua himself is only 9 years 

old and was playing 3 age-groups up! We think 

Joshua might be playing senior cricket 

alongside his grandfather Terry Bentley pretty 

soon now. 

One further thing of note this year has been 

the number of volunteers who have worked 

tirelessly to ensure that the Cricket Ground is in 

the best shape it has been in for years. In 

particular, our Committee would like to extend 

its gratitude to Terry Bentley for preparing the 

wickets, and to Craig Morris and Nick Parry for 

all their digging, strimming, clearing, carrying, 

mowing and tidying-up of the areas around the 

ground. It looks wonderful and we simply could 

not manage without their efforts. 

The senior League-season continues each 

Saturday into early September and the Bank 

Holiday weekend in August will play host to 

our annual Six-a-side tournament. This is 

always a fun event with lots of light-hearted and 

entertaining cricket on show. Please join us

yourself, it’s not too late to get in touch with

In order to continue to invest in the club and

sponsors. If you are interested in anything from

As with any village club or society, our 

success relies heavily on the hard work of all the 

volunteers who make everything run smoothly. 

There is always more that we want to do and it 

is impossible to have too many volunteers so if 

you want to join the fun and help in any way 

(maybe as a match-scorer or umpire), we would 

be delighted to hear from you and you will 

receive a warm welcome from everyone

Penn Pond Waders Golf Society 

Since our last update the Waders played at 2 

excellent golf courses selected by our 2018 

captain, Peter Credland. In late May we visited 

the wonderful Calcot Park GC in Berkshire. 

Playing off a handicap of 9, the day was won by 

Paul Weekly scoring a magnificent 42 points. 

He’s beginning to play like his distant relative; 

the USA PGA Professional Boo Weekly. No 

mercy has been shown by our handicap 

secretary who has applied his usual savage cut 

to Paul’s handicap, living up to his nickname of 

Nasty Nods. 

In late June we played at the Shires GC near 

Barnet for the very first time. Congratulations to 

Vince Michael who came out on top winning on 

countback from Adam Holbrook, both scoring 

31 points. Much lower scoring was the order of 

the day with the water hazards at the course 

claiming a good number of golf balls. 

On Friday 17th August we will return to 

another of our favourite courses at Sonning Golf 

Club. On Wednesday 26th September we will 

be playing at the magnificent North Hants Golf 

Club where Justin Rose honed his golfing skills. 

If you are interested in joining our friendly 

Society or to come along as a guest at either of 

the upcoming events, contact our Secretary Bob 

Teuton on 07973 137446. This Summer has 

been great so far, so why not have a bit of fun 

and play some golf with us Waders? John Horton

THE 2018 

VILLAGE SHOW 

Saturday 15th September. Save the date 

for the 49th P&TG Village Show! 

The Penn & Tylers Green Village Show has 

been staged for more than 40 years. General 

classes are open to everyone. In addition there 

are classes for under 14’s and “men only” 

cookery. There are trophies for a “young cook”, 

“young designer” and “young photographer” 

under the age of 18. With so many classes there 

will be something to take your fancy. Please do 

have a go and enter something! Here are some 

of the highlights of this year’s schedule... 

Flowers, fruit and vegetables: With the sun 

coming out over the Bank Holiday weekend, did 

you sowing your marrow and runner bean 

seeds for children’s classes? As well tend to 

your existing plants that will provide that flower 

for the Show? We know there are a few of you 

out there that nurture your roses, dahlias and 

chrysanthemums I am sure they are getting 

plenty of attention too. We are looking forward 

to a few more novices entering this year. 

Miscellaneous: Since we mentioned in the last 

VV about branching out we have had a few 

people intrigued at the chance to see eggs 

displayed from their hens on the day and more 

fun is to see what happy pets (caged) will be 

entered too. 

Domestic: We are sure people have been 

inspecting their jars of jam and marmalade to 

see which to save and enter to the Village Show 

and avoid it being eaten between now and 

then. Baking bread rolls is one of the entries 

which provides you all with the chance to 

experiment with different flours as well as 

working out the technique to ensure they all 

come out a uniform size and shape, happy 

baking to all of you. We wonder how many 

lemon meringue pies will be made and tasted 



over the next months, let us know how many 

you have made when you bring your entry in 

on the day. 

Craft: Over the years, we have always had one 

entry to be made from different materials, such 

as wood, ceramic, metal or other items, why not 

use recycled materials and show what can be 

done with everyday items we discard in our 

waste daily. Embroidery and needlework has 

proved popular to a number of people in the 

area and we look forward to their designs and 

entries at the Village Show. We feel there are 

lots of ideas out there to get you started and 

can’t wait to see the results. You still have time 

to start designing and creating and its open for 

all from youngsters and grown-ups alike. 

Art and photography: The digitally enhanced 

photographs have always drawn comments 

from the judges, entrants as well as the visitors 

on the day, ranging from shock at how a photo 

can be distorted so much to wonder at how a 

photo can be adapted and changed to become 

a work or art in its own right. This year we have 

tried to give much greater opportunities for 

entrants making the subjects much broader 

and naturally, looking forward to see what 

arrives on the day. Junior photographers can 

have a go at “all creatures great and small” and 

“the sky’s the limit”. 

Junior: There are a whole host of junior classes. 

Don’t forget - if you really can’t think of what to 

do in your own age group, enter an older age 

group or the open classes which are open to 

everyone. How are your sunflowers growing or 

are you just about to sow the seeds? What with 

the news about a new caterpillar that has 

arrived in the UK, it opens up more ideas for the 

under 3’s, 5’s and 7’s to be more creative with 

their entries. Our blind judge always loves 

attending the Show and spends time 

experiencing most of the entries and is looking 

forward to tasting the junior’s popcorn 

experiments along with mugs of fragrant herbs. 

Go to: www.pennandtylergreen.org.uk for a 

full list of classes / entry form. See you there, 

with your entries, there’s a class for everyone.

WOODLAND 

& GREEN SPACES 


During the summer months activity in the world 

is very quiet, however more people have taken 

to walking in the woods during recent hot 

weather where it remained relatively cool under 

the trees. It certainly is busier in the early 

morning and late evening. 

The number of trees drop branches during 

this hot weather and generally on the side routes 

we will allow the path to move around the 

obstruction. Spare a thought for the animals as 

most of the ponds have now dried out. Myself 

and a number of neighbours have put water out 

on the edge of the wood for the wildlife. You 

can certainly help the bird population by 

ensuring water is available in your gardens. 

A number of dog walkers seem to struggle 

with the concept of taking poo bags home when 

they are filled or clearing poo off paths. "Stick 

and flick" is a simple effective . I'm grateful for 


a small number of users of the wood for their 

efforts in clearing litter as they walk. 

No Work parties are held during the breeding 

season however we may need to call on 

volunteers to help with a fallen branch or cut 

back wayward growth. If you would be willing 

to give a couple of hours to help with light 

maintenance in the wood please send us your 

details. We will be starting some clearing of 

path side ways in September. Help is 

appreciated. 

Enjoy the wood and maybe sit awhile quietly 

and de-stress from the daily grind. Mike Morley

Guides and Brownies have been out and 

about taking advantage of the lovely weather. 

The Guides, a thriving group of 24 Guides, 

did a Penny Hike and ended up walking 3 miles 

around Tylers Green and will be having a picnic 

on The Common at the end of term. 

5th Brownies visited Mop End, part of the 

Field Studies Council, where Brownies had 

problem solving and activities to complete. 

This included bug hunting, a forest challenge 

and creating an artist’s palette using nature. 1st 

Brownies are making a visit to the fire station. 

Rainbows are going to Wagamamas, a Japanese 

restaurant in High Wycombe. 

Kingswood Trefoil, Adult Guiding, will also 

be enjoying the outdoors when they attend their 

Summer Gathering in Princes Risborough along 

with all the other Guilds in Buckinghamshire 

and their annual camp, jointly with High 

Wycombe Trefoil, at Ellesborough Guide 

centre. Sue Stephens

The Penn Seven & Fun Run went 

well again, we helped keep the Penn 

Seven runners cool with plenty of 

water by manning the station at the 

Crown. Thanks go to all our helpers. 

This long hot summer has started 

early. There is still some camping 

ahead then we have our summer 

break. Don't forget our Autumn 

Jumble Sale. We look forward to 

seeing you all on October 6th at the 

Village Hall. As usual we will be 


sorting on the Friday night (5 October) as well.

Evening WI 

Visitors and members were greeted with a glass 

of prosecco or fruit punch at our recent Birthday 

Meeting. We then listened to a very interesting 

and informative talk about Bucks Spies and 

Subversives given by Denise Beddows. We 

particularly liked the the tale about the traitor, 

Donald Maclean, whose ashes were scattered in 

Penn churchyard and were afterwards 

deliberately swept into the gutter. The talk was 

followed by a splendid array of finger food 

provided by the members and a lovely social 

occasion to enjoy each other's company. 

In July we had a demonstration of stained 

glass. Anna Conti described her career and 

explained that she does not “do” churches but 

rather she does houses and gardens. The panels 

that she brought with her were truly beautiful 

and we hope to organise a workshop in the 

coming months. 

We took part in Songs of Praise on The 

Common, along with the Morning WI. The 

Morning WI decided that they were bright 

although not necessarily beautiful(!) and the 

Evening WI decided that they would like to be 

good neighbours. Both WIs emphasised their 

campaigning role with the campaign against 

loneliness being high on the current agenda as 

well as that against plastic microfibres which are 

shed at the rate 70,000 per machine wash! (We 

are non-religious despite having Jerusalem as 

our anthem – a legacy from the 1940s. So, if 

you wish us to partake in a Mosque praise or 

Humanist “Service” please do feel free to ask.) 

There is no formal meeting in August. 

September brings a talk about the Time Team at 

Chenies Manor, which I am sure will be of great 

interest to many. Also in September a coach 

will take many of us to a tour of Hidden 

London, part of which will be on the Regents 

Canal. Some of us did this tour some years ago 

in torrential rain. Although we enjoyed it we are 



hoping for some sunshine this time round. 

Our knit and natter groups continue to thrive 

as well as our book club and we hope to start a 

chomp and chatter group in the Autumn. 

As always, we are happy to welcome any 

ladies who wish to join us on the second 

Thursday of the month at 8pm. Pat Hedley, 812645 

Morning WI 

As I write this the beautiful summer weather 

continues. We were lucky enough to have a 

perfect day for a visit to Wren Davis and really 

enjoyed their farm which was most informative. 

In the picture you will see 20 members on the 

trailer taking it easy while the fit six walked 

round the fields to see the cows, many different 

crops and into the woods with the pigs. We 

finished with homemade cake and tea. We will 

have another outing in September to a railway 

near Henley. 

Our June speaker was a BBC Gardener of the 

Year winner who brought some lovely plants to 

sell to encourage us in our own gardens. In 

contrast in July we learnt the skills of stained 

glass windows. There is no official meeting in 

August, but we will have a social morning with 

cake on our usual meeting day just to catch up. 

Our Spetember speaker will be a lady telling 

us about her experiences as a lady toastmaster. 

If any of this sparks your interest and you 

would like to visit us do come along to the 

P&TG Sports & Social Club on the third 

Wednesday of the month or call me (details 

below). We look forward to seeing you. Sheila 

Sparrow, 812163

GOMM VALLEY 

DEVELOPMENT 

UPDATE... 

Gomm Valley - “The Greenest New Place 

in England”... This is how the developers 

described their aspirations for Gomm Valley at 

their ‘Community Engagement and Design’ 

event held in the fields behind the Perigrine 

Business Park over weekend of 30 June/2 July. 

This comprised an exhibition to illustrate the 

development objectives, together with 

explanatory talks and Q&A. The developer 

selected by Aviva (as landowner), is known as 

‘Human + Nature’(H+N), which has assembled 

a team with strong credentials in the planning 

and design of sustainable communities. 

Proposals are still at pre-planning stage, and the 

aim was to present themes that would form the 

basis for development, and share thoughts on 

these with the local community, inviting 

comment that could then be taken into account 

as the planning and design moves forward. The 

overarching themes are intended to enhance 

Gomm Valley’s special characteristics, through 

respect for landscape and ecology, sustainability, 

and green transport, delivered through 

continuing community engagement in the 

design and delivery process. The plans covered 

the valley area south of Ashwells (which is to be 

developed by a different team), incorporating 

some important deviations from WDC’s 

Development Brief, particularly with regard to 

the configuration of the Gomm Valley spine 

road and its connection with Cock Lane. 

In terms of impact on P&TG, H+N’s 

preference is to leave Cock Lane as single track, 

with the spine road reconfigured to join Cock 

Lane much further down (opposite the 

Christmas tree yard). The alignment of the 

spine road would respond to the topography, 

creating a slowly winding and circuitous path 

through the valley. The intention is to make the 



spine road an unattractive option for drivers 

looking for a rat-run down to the A40. 

The contribution of GV&A to Wycombe’s 

future housing needs (as defined by the new 

Local Plan) is 520 new homes, of which 100 are 

on the Ashwells site. This leaves 420 in Gomm 

Valley. H+N propose a significant increase in 

this, to a figure potentially between 700 and 

1,000 units, citing the creation of best value 

from the developable area and a critical mass 

able to support their proposed community 

facilities. They believe that this need not 

necessarily occupy a much bigger footprint than 

WDC’s plan,, as there will be more flats 

(providing an increased number of smaller, 

more affordable, homes). This increase will 

place added pressure on traffic volumes. To 

mitigate this, H+N hopes to reduce car 

dependency by providing a small fleet of 

electric buses running a service to HW station at 

peak times. 

The focus of the new community will be a 

village square with a mix of uses, including 

primary school, supported living, coffee shop, 

restaurant, bakery and convenience store. They 

also envisage co-working facilities such as 

‘makerspaces’ and studios, car club/bike club, 

and a GP practice. The square will open out to 

the valley to its north where there will be 

amenity grassland and play areas for children. 

The immediate impression was that H+N 

seems to have a very different idea of how they 

want to deliver the project compared with that 

of WDC, but this needs to be tested for 

feasibility and deliverability. It is expected that 

the Liaison Group will meet soon, for H+N to 

explain how they intend to move forward and 

for WDC to indicate their response. All being 

well, an outline planning application could be 

submitted at the end of September, with the 

development taking 7-9 years to complete.

ASHWELLS 

(GOMM) VALLEY 

The History of Ashwells (Gomm) Valley 

(Part 8)... Captain Arthur Granville 

Soames (1886-1962) 

We saw that the very young and recently 

married Charlesworths only lived for two years 

at Ashwells. In August 1919, they sold the 

house with its 58 acres, a bailiff's house, 

stabling, a laundry, poultry houses, a dovecot 

and several cottages, to Captain Arthur 

Granville Soames of the Coldstream Guards. 

He paid £14,500 for the property. Captain 

Soames was the son of a wealthy brewer/artist 

who, according to the Tatler, had mysteriously 

disappeared in Bournemouth over the previous 

Christmas, was presumed dead by the courts, 

and left his only son most of an estate then 

worth more than a quarter of a million. His 

younger sister married Lord Baden Powell who 

founded the Scouts and Guides. He was 33 

when he came to Ashwells and had been a 

regular soldier, commissioned into the 

Coldstream Guards in 1905 and served in the 

First War. He later inherited the estate of 

Sheffield Park which had previously owned by 

John Holroyd Baker, the 1st Earl of Sheffield 

and descendant of the Baker family of Penn. 

The Soames family is famous these days 

because their eldest son was (Arthur) 

Christopher Soames (1920-87) who married Sir 

Winston Churchill's youngest daughter, Mary, in 

1947 and became our Ambassador in Paris, 

Common Market Commissioner in Brussels and 

the last Governor of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). 

His eldest son, Nicholas, is still an MP. There 

were still several people in the village who had 

worked for the estate and remembered it well 

when I started to look into its history and I was 

assured that Christopher's appendix had been 

taken out on the kitchen table. 



Christopher's obituary describes his childhood 

as an unhappy one, for his parents were 

eventually divorced in 1934, and said that he 

had developed a dislike and contempt for his 

father. I wrote to him in 1985 to ask if he had 

any papers or photographs of his time in 

Ashwells (he would have been only seven when 

they left). He replied very courteously, but 

neither he nor his sister were able to help. 

The photograph below was in the Times 

in1987 when Christopher Soames died and 

includes all the people mentioned above, but I 

am not sure how Field Marshal Montgomery 

fits in to this 1952 family group. My thanks to 

Ron Saunders for the information and portrait 

from the Tatler and to Eddie Morton for 

arranging both illustrations in a more 

publishable form. Miles Green

Dear VV, 

I just wondered if anyone else is as fed up as I 

am with all the noisy vehicles that go around the 

village. The buzzy motorbikes and sport type cars 

create noise pollution. With lovely warm weather 

and doors and windows open and sitting in the 

garden it very unpleasant. If these thoughtless 

drivers like hearing their very noisy engines well I 

do not. 

I am also frightened about the speed that cars 

drive down New Road from Cock Lane, the 30 mph 

speed restrictions are ignored. I dread to think 

what it will be like when the new houses are built 

and there will be increased traffic flying down the 

road. This is supposed to be a village not a race 

track for speeding vehicles. Liz Winkless, TG resident 

Dear VV, 

Noticeboard 

August / September 2018 

This is not my usual report about this 

lovely community, as I have suffered an 

unpleasant experience, which started 

with an unstoppable nose bleed, and 

took me to hospital with a severe loss of 

blood. The ambulance team and all 

doctors and nurses at Wexham Park 

were skilled and kind in every way, despite their 

overload of work, always positive and focused. 

My nose was cauterised next day, and I was duly 

taken home by the Red X (recent initiative in the UK to 

help the elderly and give short term resettlement care. 

I had not realised how seriously I had been affected, so 

when my blood pressure dropped after trying to do too 

much too soon, I had to return for more tests. I was 

allowed home to go into respite care in Alde House, to 

be well looked after in comfort and lovely surroundings 

until able to return home into daily care until stronger. 

Some weeks on, I am recovering well from the 

anaemia, and, taking life more gently. I am full of 

gratitude for all the wonderful treatment in hospital, 

and since Many many thanks to all my lovely family, 

friends and neighbours. 

Picking up the threads of life again, I have to say I 

was sorry to miss the summer activities and events of 

this lovely community. I was especially sorry to miss 

the Songs of Praise in the Marquee on the Common in 

July. The theme was of voluntary organisations here. 

Introduced by the Revd Mike Bisset. The Village Care car 

service to important appointments for those without 

transport, the Tylers Green Village Hall and all its 

activities, two WI Meetings one morning, and one 

evening, and the Scouts. We are fortunate to benefit 

from those that fit our interests. 

Sadly, we have lost good friends these last few 

months who have passed away. Condolences to 

families and friends. 

Finally, my love and thanks to all who have helped 

me to get well, and to all readers of my page. P.S. If 

anyone would like to know about the Red X initiative in 

Bucks, please contact me. Pat Dancer 

Ed's note: glad you are on the mend Pat! and from all 

the readers of VV and your friends in P&TG we wish you a 

speedy recovery!

The Sound of a Merlin or Two... 

It might seem like the Summer of 1940 to see a couple of 

Spitfires over the village but weather permitting, you 

wouldn’t be imagining it. The sound of Rolls Royce Merlin 

engines is quite unmistakable – more of a growl. This 

August Bank Holiday, the 27th August, the RAF will send 

two Spitfires from the Battle of Britain flight, to over fly 

the Hazlemere Summer fete at Sir William Ramsay School. 

I would like to thank readers who responded to my 

appeal for volunteers because this has ensured that the 

fete can go ahead this year. The scale of operations has 

increased significantly, so nothing succeeds like success! 

The other point is that the fete brochure is delivered to 

all households that receive Village Voice but some people 

were not aware of the JNP Yellow pages that contain a lot 

of local contact information for all types of organisations. 

If you think there is not much to do around here, this 

might persuade you otherwise. Bob Digby

What is your life based on? Who gives you your moral compass? Many will

say, ‘Well, I love my family’. That of course is good, but so, usually, do the

worst of men; and how many people acknowledge that their family is 

integer, interdum 

actually the gift of God? Very few. Many are kind to their own friends, but so 

consectetuer pede. 

were the unscrupulous tax-collectors in Christ’s day, and He told them that 

such kindness was not sufficient to meet His requirements 123-456-7890 of holiness 

(Matthew 5:46-48). Many have a confidence in their own goodness, because 

they donate to charity and adhere to the politically correct attitudes which 

society demands of them. However, the scribes and the Pharisees in the 

New Testament also donated to charity, doing so with much public display. 

They were highly thought of by those around them, and were very proud of 

their own virtue; but the Lord Jesus Christ still condemned them (e.g. 

Matthew 23:1-33). You see, He can only help those who humble themselves 

before Him, and who acknowledge their sin. He is the Saviour of those, and 

those alone, who have no confidence in their own goodness.
