BRAND NEW DRAMA<br />
Prepare for the Watson Hall to be transformed when brand<br />
new drama takes to the stage in May. Sward! The Story of a<br />
Meadow is “an entertaining romp featuring songs, more than a<br />
few laughs and at least one nice frock.” It has its roots in ancient<br />
myth, oral records and modern science. Young farmer Jason<br />
Drysdale is out on his quad bike, spraying thistles, when he spots<br />
botany student Jemima Foxley crawling through the grass verge<br />
at the side of a minor road in Leedale — and their chance meeting<br />
propels them on a magical journey.<br />
It’s a newly commissioned play by the North Yorkshire<br />
based Blaize Theatre Company in collaboration with Highlights<br />
Rural Touring Scheme. The production, which has a 40-date tour<br />
in May, June and July throughout the North, will be accompanied<br />
by a photographic exhibition that follows the changing face of<br />

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS<br />
Thank you to everyone who completed the recent Broadband Survey. We had<br />
an approximate 33% return rate, which as these things go, is pretty good! It must<br />
have been the temptation of the M&S voucher which did it — the winner was Alan<br />
Gregory, from High Meadow, Sid’s Field. Well done Alan, and welcome to <strong>Castle</strong> <strong>Carrock</strong>!<br />
On that murky issue of Broadband, anyone who is interested in progressing this<br />
project should register at www.cumbriabroadband.com — the more people who do<br />
this the better. You should also regularly check your connection speed at<br />
www.speedtester.bt.com. By doing this you are again showing that this area is lagging<br />
behind on the technology front, and that we need all the funding we can get to improve<br />
the situation.<br />
On another note — the walkers amongst you will have noticed several recent<br />
improvements around the village; namely, some resurfacing work on the lonning behind<br />
Rectory Road, and a few months ago, the same sort of work on Kilwren Lonning<br />
(running from the shop up towards Garth Marr). Both these projects were funded in<br />
part by Neighbourhood Forum and the County Council’s Parish Paths Initiative (a big<br />
thank you to them…) More recently, repairs have been made to the verges at Jockey<br />
Shield to enable vehicles to park without obstructing the road; a huge improvement,<br />
we think. We were helped on this by the RSPB and a local resident — thanks to all<br />
concerned. All work was carried out in expert fashion by JA & A Wannop. Tricia Meynell,<br />

flower-rich hay meadows through the seasons. In <strong>Castle</strong> <strong>Carrock</strong>,<br />
the exhibition will be hosted in St Peter’s Church. Screens will<br />
house monitors displaying images of flora and fauna of the<br />
meadows and a large flat screen will show fixed point photography<br />
taken over a 12-month period. The performance in the Watson<br />
Hall is on Sunday, May 1st, at 7.30 p.m. Tickets are from<br />
Tom on 670054. £9 for adults, £7 for children under 16. The capacity<br />
will be just 60 seats — so very much first come first<br />
served.<br />
Final interesting fact: when we think of rare, fragile and<br />
endangered habitats and ecosystems, our minds turn towards<br />
Amazonian rainforests or Antipodean coral reefs. But in the UK,<br />
we have one of the most threatened — the traditional upland hay<br />
meadow. There are less than four square miles of this habitat left<br />
in the world and 40% of that is here in the North Pennines.<br />
Thriving Watson Hall<br />
About 20 people came along to the<br />
Watson Hall AGM on March 25th to reflect on<br />
the past year’s actitivites, take a look at the<br />
books and plan for the year ahead. Grants<br />
from a wide variety of bodies, including the<br />
city council, county council, parish council<br />
and the Watson Cottages Trust have helped<br />
pay for the new roof, new chairs, secondary<br />
glazing and outside maintenance. Other<br />
funding has paid for a new sound system<br />
and new tablecloths. Our own fundraising<br />
has paid for the refurbishment of the toilet<br />
block. Rental income has increased by 15%<br />
and met the vast majority of our general<br />
costs. We’re in good shape financially.<br />
Regular activities have included<br />
Guides, toddlers, bowls, Women’s Institute,<br />
U3A Art Group, Pilates, children’s birthday<br />
parties and private functions. Four live concerts,<br />
three of which were engaged through<br />
the Highlights Rural Touring Scheme, have<br />
again been enjoyed by sell-out audiences.<br />
The hall has also been used by the school,<br />
Kids’ Club, Music on the Marr, parish council,<br />
Friends of <strong>Castle</strong> <strong>Carrock</strong> School and St Peter’s<br />
Church. We’ve hosted the summer carnival,<br />
Christmas dinner and carols in the hall,<br />
as well as a model railway exhibition.<br />
Our objectives now are to overhaul<br />
the heating system, re-varnish the floor,<br />
erect a noticeboard, attract two more regular<br />
user activities and double our fundraising.<br />
All committee members were re-elected and<br />
all representative members are to continue.<br />
Thank you to everyone who has contributed<br />
to the running of the hall over the past 12<br />
months — it’s been a good year!<br />

Sending out an SOS for the Red Squirrel<br />
The Red Squirrel is the UK’s only native squirrel and needs your help now to<br />
prevent them from becoming locally extinct. They are under constant threat from the<br />
grey squirrel, an introduction from North America that out-competes them for food and<br />
carries the Squirrel Pox Virus (SQPV) that they are immune to, but when passed on to<br />
a red squirrel causes death, usually within 15 days from onset.<br />
There has been an outbreak of SQPV in this area recently, with cases being confirmed<br />
by the Veterinary Laboratory Agency. At the moment the only way to save reds<br />
is to control the increasing numbers of grey squirrels. Brampton Red Squirrel Group is a<br />
non-funded group of volunteers working within your area to promote the preservation<br />
of the red squirrel population for the public benefit and to protect these wonderful creatures<br />
from extinction, but we need donations to: buy traps and feed for grey squirrel<br />
control; buy feeders and feed for monitoring reds; fund blood sampling for research<br />
into SQPV; fund educational and promotional material; fund awareness campaigns.<br />
Can you help? I can assure you that every penny we raise goes directly towards<br />
red squirrel conservation/grey control. Your support would be appreciated.<br />
Cheques should be made payable to Brampton Red Squirrel Group and sent to Julie<br />
Bailey, BRSG Volunteer Secretary, Woodside, Armathwaite, Cumbria, CA4 9SX. We also<br />
urgently need volunteers to undertake trap control. Please contact me on 01228<br />
562263 or 07920 858475 or by e-mail to j.bailey203@btinternet.com. You can<br />
also help by reporting all sightings of squirrels (grey or red) to the above contacts.<br />
CHARLES the Red Squirrel<br />
This is ‘Charles,’ made by Kirsty Armstrong, coordinator of Brampton Red<br />
Squirrel Group and a professional sculptor. ‘Charles’ is named after patron<br />
of the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, HRH the Prince of Wales, whom Kirsty<br />
presented with No.1, of the edition of 100, at Hutton-in-the-Forest in February.<br />
Specialising in wildlife sculpture, she has worked for several major<br />
figurine manufacturers; this, however, is her first solo project. ‘Charles’ is<br />
lifesized and finished in copper. He is available to purchase at a cost of<br />
£125, with £10 from each sale going towards red squirrel conservation<br />
projects throughout the UK. By purchasing ‘Charles’, you are actively<br />
helping to protect and save one of the UK’s native species. To order or for<br />
more information, you can contact Kirsty on aartducko@aol.com.<br />

Broadband: Improving the Speed<br />
It is no surprise to discover from the recent Broadband survey that most of<br />
us have problems with the speed of our service, except, inexplicably, one who is<br />
with Plusnet. Short of a major uplift in the service by fibre optic cable (we are<br />
working on it) there are a couple of practical things you can do which may improve<br />
your ADSL speed.<br />
1. Look at where your phone line enters your house. If it terminates in a white box<br />
you have a Network Terminating Point (NT5). It is from here you are likely to get<br />
the best broadband connection if you plug your router directly into the ADSL<br />
socket on this box. This bypasses the other phone wiring in your home which can<br />
pick up radio interference from your appliances and corrupt the whole caboodle.<br />
2. If your incoming phone line terminates in a black box you do not have a NT5 and<br />
you should ask BT or your service provider, to fit one. It costs about £40 but they<br />
may do it for nothing depending on how bad they judge your complaint to be, and<br />
how deeply and for how long you moan. It helps if you regularly and at different<br />
times of day, check your speed at www.speedtester.bt.com. This information is<br />
logged by BT and will help them verify your complaint about slow speeds.<br />
3. There is a video presentation by Phil Thompson given at a recent broadband conference<br />
outlining this and more. The pictures are spectacularly numb (not his fault)<br />
but all the info is there and it is worth a look. Put ‘Broadband & Localism Conference<br />
–Individuals Workshop’ into YouTube and select the 17 min 16 Jan 11 icon.<br />
Or email me and I will send you the link.<br />
4. Please let me know about your success, or anything else. One gets desperate.<br />

Richard Tulloch writes…<br />
Saturday, 16th <strong>April</strong>, when I am instituted at St Martin’s as<br />
Rector of the Eden, Gelt and Irthing Team benefice, is going to<br />
be one of those very important ‘turning points’ in our lives as a<br />
family. We invite everyone to come and share with us in this<br />
service at 3 p.m., when Bishop James Newcome will be speaking.<br />
A lesson from Moses!<br />
When Moses, at the age of 80, is called by God to a new work of<br />
leading the people of Israel, he is very nervous and wonders if he<br />
will cope with the challenge. I feel much the same as I contemplate<br />
our move to Brampton – though I am a little younger! But I<br />
believe we often experience God’s power in new ways when we<br />
move beyond ‘ministry waters’ with which we are familiar. I<br />
came across these thoughts recently: “Nothing plays a greater<br />
role in God’s desire to shape our lives than the shift from one<br />
extreme to the other…this is meant to ensure that we do not settle<br />
into any situation but remain pliable, and to make us recognise<br />
that true insight does not come from what we have grasped but<br />
from ever greater readiness and deeper obedience.” “The person<br />
who reaches out for what lies ahead of him is always becoming<br />
younger.” I hope our move to Brampton will keep me young!<br />

A brief family background<br />
Let me sketch a brief background. After studying Psychology<br />
and Physiology at Oxford, my first job was working in East Africa<br />
with a coffee company as a junior manager. The job also<br />
involved piloting a small plane to get around the area to visit the<br />
coffee estates. Whilst there, I felt that God was calling me to<br />
leave business and train for the ordained ministry in the Church<br />
of England. I served my first curacy in Morden in South London,<br />
and then moved to Jesmond Parish Church in Newcastle to<br />
be an assistant minister. Within a year, I met and married my<br />
wife, Janet, who was a junior doctor specialising in ophthalmology.<br />
Our three children, Katherine, Anna and Edward, were all<br />
born in Newcastle. After eleven years there, I was invited to<br />
become vicar of St John’s, Wimborne, in Dorset. I have enjoyed<br />
17 very fulfilling years as vicar. Janet worked as an eye doctor at<br />
Bournemouth Hospital, and then five years ago, she retrained as<br />
a GP. Katherine is working in London in publishing. Anna is<br />
soon to qualify as a doctor at Birmingham. Edward hopes to read<br />
medicine at university starting in September.<br />

We are delighted to bring you some of the very best roots music from around the world. Cumbria is a famous destination not only<br />
for scenery, good food and hospitality but also music; we have no end of established and emerging talent populating our remarkable<br />
landscape. There is much to be proud of. MOM this year, reflects some of it.<br />
Friday Night. Greg Wilson & The Big Caffeine Fix. Penrith based new band fronted by singer/songwriter Greg. Nicola Reed.<br />
The pride of Carlisle. Nicola has an angelic voice and is a very creative, earthy musician. Ethan Thomas: Young Musicians’<br />
Showcase highlight last year, local lad and rising star, he is a regular at Solfest and national festivals, much in demand for fine<br />
guitar work, self penned songs and his dry humor. Rory Connor: Alston resident and part of Tarras. ‘One of the most promising<br />
young contemporary song writers in England.’ Archie Fisher BBC Radio Scotland. Room Full of Owls: What’s going on in<br />
Alston ? They have more than their fair share of talent with this innovative, young, folky alternative rock outfit. The Baghdaddies:<br />
Legendary Folk rockers from the other end of the wall with strong Balkan tendencies, Caribbean grooves, Middle Eastern<br />
rhythms and some Geordie touches, all awash with influences such as Klezmer, Ska, Jazz, Punk and Metal, delivered with theatre<br />
and exuberance. Uplifting and infectiously danceable, full of blistering brass, rousing five part vocal harmonies and a rhythm section<br />
that you can’t keep still to. This is not the time to sleep.<br />
Saturday Afternoon. Segretta Hot Three: Traditional New Orleans Jazz from these accomplished Cumbrian gents. Phil Pipe:<br />
Troubadour, songwriter, humorist and teller of tales from a more poetic age. Stooshie: Fine folk foursome from Keswick. Traditional<br />
tunes given the scintillating Stooshie makeover. No SoapNo Radio: New local band fronted by Mark Wilson. Well loved at<br />
Lanercost Cricket Club; you know how fussy they are. Keith Donnelley: Famous international baldie, sensitive singer and comedian.<br />
Bob Fox: Many sing from the mining, shipbuilding, and fishing tradition of the North East, few of them a well as Bob. He<br />
appears in the lineup of just about every folk festival in the country. Don’t miss his afternoon opening set. Sadie Jemmett: London<br />
resident and Judy Collins protégé, Sadie gives a few established songs new appeal and adds some of her own well observed<br />
and beautifully crafted work. Engaging and charming stage presence with polished delivery. Chris While and Julie Mathews:<br />
Eight times nominated for BBC R2 Folk awards and Best Duo winners in 2009. They are world renowned for their affinity on<br />
stage and for the energy and enthusiasm of their live performances. Look out for ‘Stone of Gelt’ from the All Along the Wall collaboration.<br />
Young Musicians’ Showcase: Details to follow.<br />
Saturday Night. Jon Brindley: Resident of Wigan with a fondness for Formby. A lifetime musician, Jon will change your perception<br />
of how things can be done. He is a good and engaging singer but look and listen to the guitar skill, style and technique.<br />
Chris James: Undoubtedly Carlisle’s best kept secret .With his dazzling guitar style Chris is a Blues musician like no other ; perhaps<br />
the best this side of The USA. He is able to draw out an authentic Mississippi Delta sound and has the voice to match. Hadrian's<br />
Union: Local lads, fast making a name for themselves on the national scene with their engaging, self penned, blend of<br />
Folk, Bluegrass & Jazz. Katharine Pickering: Since being showcased at MOM last year, this Brampton lass has decided she<br />
wants to be a professional performer. Here she is, performing professionally. Sarah Gillespie featuring Gilad Atzmon: Described<br />
by Rock’n’Reel as a ‘bracingly eclectic mix of beat poetry with Jazz, Folk and Middle eastern elements’. Sarah’s music is<br />
a sonic reflection of the contemporary London street; a melting pot mix of urban-folk stamped with her trademark lyricism that<br />
knits everyday banter with raw poetry. Here with world renowned Gilad Atzmon. Daimh (pronounced Dive): Combined height 36<br />
ft and weighing more than half a ton, men of Cape Breton, Ireland & Scotland come together for pure Celtica. “Their music is<br />
powerhouse stuff and their gigs are an overwhelming and exuberant experience.” Songlines. “One of the most exhilarating acoustic<br />
bands on the Celtic map.” Irish Music Magazine. “Daimh have a reputation for producing traditional music that is as skillful as<br />
it is high octane.”The Hearld. “Awesomely tight yet thrillingly wild.” The Scotsman. Nuff said. RWJ 250311<br />
