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 />

Friday Hog Roast for ticket holders. Festival of Excellent Local Ales. Artisans Market. Street Art. Morris & Clog. Magnificent<br />
