In any organisation, no matter what
size it is, there is always a linch pin to
keep the whole thing running on the
rails smoothly and successfully. Well, at
the end of the month Christow Parish
Council’s ‘linch pin’ of some 13 years is
going to retire.
Sue Keys has over that time steered
the council through its business with
consummate ease and a good deal of
patience while keeping a very firm grip
on the proceedings.
Sue was instrumental in securing the
council’s Quality Status which entailed her passing
the necessary exams to confirm what we knew
already: not only is she our vital linch pin, she is a
highly qualified linch pin.
As with most well-organised and efficient people
a great deal of work happens and is not always
apparent. Apart from the normal every day duties
for the council Sue inspected the BMX track, the
play park, the allotments and of course the cemetery
with the sometimes delicate negotiations that that
involved.
I suspect that ‘retirement’ is not a word that
Thank you Sue Keys
Editor’s comment
I’m new to the village. My family moved here to
escape the increasing claustrophobia of the south
east. However, we weren’t prepared to move to the
middle of nowhere – one of my wife’s unmoveable
criteria was “I have to be able to walk to the shop
to buy the paper”.
Imagine our frustration then at reading their
letter to this paper (see page 2). Despite stocking
the shop how villagers would like, the owners are
now considering closing the shop down because
revenues are at a critical low.
All right, it’s not our responsibility to keep
every business in the village afloat, and no-one
should be ashamed of ordering the weekly shop
online. However, the village shop is a major nerve
centre for the community, and its loss would be
catastrophic.

appears in Sue’s vocabulary but whatever
she chooses to call ‘not working for the
council’ I hope that it is truly enjoyable.
Thirteen years is a long time to serve
the village. She has quietly watched over
it, oiled its wheels, kept it in check and
informed it of that information it needed
to know.
The council is so very grateful for
Sue’s unflagging help over the years,
something which has made the duties of
the councillors so much easier.
We hope that Sue and David enjoy
having more time together, andwe hope that they
will have more room in their house when all the
parish records are removed; but most of all we hope
that Sue will continue to enjoy living in the village
safe in the knowledge that it is an even better place
to live because of her quiet influence.

CHRISTOW NEWS November 2010 | issue 52
Dear WCustomers,
hen we took on the challenge of running your
shop we listened carefully to your views. We
rolled up our sleeves and scrubbed this shop from
top to bottom and restocked with the beautiful
fresh local produce you asked for.
We understood that we were at the heart of your
community providing a valuable service to all. A
village shop is part of what makes a village a village!
In response to Mike Wharton’s questionnaire – in
which some 70+ of you participated – we spent
£1200 on a new chiller (we are paying it off at 60p
per chicken), and we set ourselves up as an offshoot
of Hartnalls Butchers offering a selection of high
quality inexpensive local meat.
We took notice of the historical issues with the
shop and ensured that under our tenure your milk
was never sour and that your vegetables were always
fresh. Indeed we have passed three environmental
health inspections with flying colours.
In the summer months we bought a little table and
chairs to host cream teas, and this autumn we have
extended our takeaway offering to include curries,
stews and casseroles. We have also introduced
delicious freshly baked croissants and pain au
chocolat at the weekends.
We respected that you wanted all of this at a keen
price and have maintained a great selection of lowcost
basics alongside the nicer stuff. Contrary to
perceptions generated by national supermarket
adverts, many of our products are in fact cheaper
than in the supermarkets (I am happy to provide
evidence).
We have started work on a ‘£1 room’, putting up
and plastering a stud wall in the back room and
were hoping to get to work laying a floor there this
week, and yet we are now wondering about the
shop’s future.
Although I personally work between 65 and 80
hours a week, and take no salary, Christow Stores
provides employment for five local people. We are
also a key customer for Valley Veg, Sweet Sensations,
Dartfest 2010 is a collection of short plays
being performed at Moretonhampstead Parish
Hall, connected to life on Dartmoor, written and
performed by young people from MED Theatre.
Each of the three performances will be different,
as no play is performed twice. So come along if you
want to be one the first to see these original plays.

Use it or lose it...
Dartfest 2010 performance
Teign Valley Bakery, and many other local suppliers.
While we have done everything you have asked of
us we have seen our revenue shrink. It may well be
that Christow could sustain two shops 20 years ago
before Tesco and Asda started to deliver here but as
a mum of three kids I cannot afford to run a village
shop for its ornamental value; I am not prepared to
lose my home over this.
We operate on the basis of mutual respect and
believe we have done all that we can on our part to
make an attractive village shop.
This invitation is for you to come and do you part
by coming and buying something from us (not just
a newspaper) before the end of the month, and
before it is too late.
Ten things you can do to help:
1 Why not dedicate one family meal per week to
Christow Stores and buy all the ingredients
instore?
2 Phone up and order some delicious croissants to
go with your weekend newspapers.
3 Choose some our lovely local chutneys, jams and
olives to make a Christmas hamper for relatives.
4 Why not make a regular habit of ordering your
Sunday roasting joint from us, prepared by a
butcher just the way you like it?
5 Come and try one of our lamb and aubergine
curries or beef stew and dumplings.
6 Buy your Saturday night X Factor TV treats from
us – popcorn, Green and Blacks chocolate, Devon
farmhouse icecream.
7 Why not use us to get all the ingredents for this
year’s Christmas puddings and cakes?
8 Enjoy a local cheese board stocked from our
lovely selection ... or order a cheese dartboard as
a gift.
9 Stock up on manflu remedies from our medical
cabinet.
10 Make a pledge to come into our shop once a
week to spend £10.
Fri 3rd December, 7.30pm
Sat 4th December, 2.30pm & 7.30pm

Acorn was forced to
adjust its Tuesday Lunch
Club arrangements last
month after specific funding
was withdrawn leaving
some concerned villagers
scratching their heads.
The suddenness of the
decision to cut the service
appeared to have upset
people the most, with one
person saying: “Members
were given just two
weeks’ notice, no warning
beforehand. They, and their
carers and families, had not
been consulted.”
However, Acorn committee
chair, John Barker, explained
to the Christow News that
Acorn was itself the subject
of a lack of availability, and
had to act quickly to replace
the formal Tuesday Day Care
with something less formal,
but equally stimulating and fun.
“The newly formed Tuesday Lunch Club has
replaced the formal weekly Tuesday Day Care Club,”
he said. “We would like to take this opportunity
to say that it was never our intention to close
our formal Day Care service without offering an
alternative. We apologise to all those involved with
the Club for the short notice provided.
“Our funding from the Devon Adult & Community
Services Directorate no longer provides for specific
day care; we are encouraged to arrange more varied
and informal activities to provide opportunities for
socialising to a wider range of people.”
John also told this newspaper that he was very
concerned that there were rumours circulating
that Acorn is in poor financial shape, and that it
could fold. “Nothing is further from the truth,” he
said. “We have substantial reserves to help with
any possible shortfall in funding from the current
government spending review.”
John went on to explain that the replacement of
formal Day Care lifted several costly restrictions in
the type of service that Acorn could offer. “Now
we can reverse the decline in numbers joining and
accommodate quite a few more people,” he said.
“Our sincere appreciation and thanks go to all
the volunteers who have worked hard and given
up a lot of their time to set up the new Lunch
Acorn revises its services
“The newly formed

has replaced the

Day Care Club. We

Club,” John said. “The committee,
together with the volunteers,
members and carers are currently
discussing next year’s programme
– any ideas and suggestions
would be appreciated and new
members are always welcome.
Please phone Liz Cameron on
252044 for more details.”
Other services offered by Acorn
include:
• Memory Cafe. Starting in
January at the Walled Garden
Cafe in Dunsford, Acorn’s new
Memory cafe is one of over 40
operating in Devon. The Cafe
provides an informal, relaxing
environment for those with
memory problems – and their
carers – to meet regularly with
others and have access to help
and advice from our team of
friendly trained volunteers.
Meetings will be held between
10.30 and 12.30 on the last
Thursday of each month. Please phone Margaret
on 252622, Betty on 252820 or the Acorn Office
on 252701 for more details.
• Dunsford Wednesday Coffee Club. Started
a year ago in the village hall, this new weekly club
continues to be well attended and meets between
10.00 and 12.00 every Wednesday. There is a book
exchange scheme and occasional speakers to talk
on subjects of interest to Members.
• Sainsbury’s. Running on alternate Thursday
mornings, the minibus trip to the Sainsbury
Alphington store provides an opportunity for
Christow, Bridford and Dunsford residents to be
collected from home, do their shopping, and have
help to carry it in. Please call the Acorn office on
252701 to book a seat.
• Volunteers required. Acorn needs a substantial
group of volunteers to operate effectively. Its
committee members are also volunteers, and
together with its established volunteers’ group
give up a substantial amount of their time to help
with Acorn activities. Acorn needs a regular flow
of new volunteers – particularly for those willing
to take those with transport difficulties to medical
appointments (NHS/ doctors/ dentist/ optician/
chiropodists, etc). Please phone Joan Bainbridge
on 252701 if you are able to help in any way.

The local community arrived in force to support
the Eco Fashion Event, held at Embercombe
in Higher Ashton, on Global Day of Doing; 10th
October 2010.
The event was organised to help raise awareness
of the environmental impact of fashion, and how
young people can reduce the impact fashion has
on the environment.
Dozens of people from all ages from the Teign
Valley and beyond tried their hand at modifying
and making their own creations in Centrefire Hall
at Embercombe. The event was heaving all day,
with the generous car park overflowing, and the
sun shining throughout.
Organiser Mary Roddick was delighted with how
the day had gone. “This has been a great success,”
she said. “We have lots of people making their own
clothes, and this is really raising awareness of ecofashion”.
Christow School students were present to show
off their newly made ‘Teigny’ bags, and five-yearold
Alice Thompson described her bag to us: “My
bag has fishes and bubbles on it. We made our bags
in the afternoon, and I really enjoyed it.”
Five-year-old Leela Gibson, also from Christow
Primary School, added: “My bag is really pretty, and
I liked making it”.
This fashion event was one of thousands of
eco-conscious events held all over the world on
the International Global Day of Doing, 10:10:10.
Almost every country in the world held events
on this day to raise awareness of global warming.
Within Britain there were over 700 events being
held.
Greener Teign focused this event on the ‘350’
scheme, and organiser Mary Roddick explained
this term to us. “The safe level of carbon dioxide in
our atmosphere is 350 parts per million,” she said.
“However, this has already reached 390 parts per
million. The 350 scheme is striving to reduce the
amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere”.
Catwalk
After a highly successful afternoon, a fashion show
was held to showcase many freshly made clothes
and other vintage finds. It was an incredible show,
highlighting the talent found within the local area
of not just the models, but also of the budding
amateur and professional designers. Up to 20
models proudly showed off the clothes, with ages
ranging between seven decades.
Students from Teign School, Tiverton High, Kevicc,
Exeter School and West Exe proudly modelled

Eco fashion event a success
both vintage finds and their own creations, and
dozens of gorgeous clothes were showcased. The
most outstanding pieces included a vintage Jean
Muir dress worn by Mary Roddick herself, and a
black vintage lace dress by Ghost.
As well as a collection of stunning vintage
clothes for both men and women, there were also
many outfits on display that had been made during
that same day. A particularly striking example was
a man’s suit that had cost a total of £20 after being
remade from various charity shop pieces. Another
brilliant outfit that had been reworked during the
day was a vintage full length purple dress that
had been owned previously by Mary Roddick’s
mother. It was altered by budding designers at
Embercombe, and was transformed into both a
purple shorter dress, and a separate full skirt.
Other than the new amateur designers, the
Fashion Show also showcased some of the work of
professional hat and coat designer Peet Leather. A
number of her innovative felt coats were modelled
on the runway, as were a great many of her unique
felt hats.
All of the vintage pieces were then auctioned
after the fashion show, as was a necklace kindly
donated by Joanna Lumley. This necklace was
auctioned along with a signed dedication by
Lumley herself, and the auction reached fever

pitch as the bidding began for it.
Not only were there dozens of different
opportunities for teenagers and older, but the
fashion show at Embercombe also catered for the
very young. There was a separate dressing up area
for younger children, which seemed very popular.
As well as showcasing and auctioning vintage
and homemade finds, second-hand clothing was
also on sale for rock bottom prices, and proved
very popular with people of all ages.
Greener Teign is also exceedingly grateful for
all the help and support of both Teignbridge
District Council and the Dartmoor Sustainable
Development Fund.
All funds made are to be used by Greener Teign
to continue reducing carbon emissions within the
Teign Valley.

The safe level of carbon dioxide in our
atmosphere is 350 parts per million. However,
this has already reached 390 parts per million.
The 350 scheme is striving to reduce this.
Spice up a cold autumn night Teign Valley History Group
The 1st Teign Valley Scouts have announced
their first annual Big Fundraiser – an ‘Evening
of Fine Indian Food and Auction of Promises’ – on
Friday November 19 at Bridford Village Hall.
The feast – a three-course Indian banquet – will
be prepared under the guidance of our local expert
Lakhdeep Kaur Singh, and will help raise money
for much-needed equipment for the Scouts’ Group.
The evening event will also include live
entertainment, courtesy of two talented soprano
singers. The auction of promises already features a
round of golf, the chance to be landlord for a day
(evening or lunchtime) at a local pub, venison, half
a lamb, logs, a hand-crafted child’s birthday cake
and lots more.
Tickets are £19.50 a head for the three-course
meal plus entertainment, and include wine, beer
or soft drinks.
As a Scout group starting from scratch about
18 months ago, we only have the minimum of
equipment for the three sections - Beavers, Cubs
and Scouts – who come from across the Teign
Valley.
We hope the annual ‘Big Fundraiser’ will help
us start to provide the necessary kit, so all the
youngsters can take part in the range of activities
the Scout movement has to offer.
Such equipment would benefit all current
members and of course future recruits for years
to come.

The inaugural meeting of a new History Group
was held at the Artichoke on 4th November.
It was decided that the provisional name of
Christow History Group was too restrictive both
of membership and of area, so the new name of
Teign Valley History Group was adopted.
Nine people attended and two apologies were
received. Several projects are up and running
already and more were formulated at the meeting.
We are encouraging residents in the larger area
to join the group.
Share your experiences
We would like to talk to people who have lived in
the valley for many years to hear their experiences
of how life was years
ago.
We also would like
to collect an archive
of photographs so are
asking everyone in
the valley who has old
photos of the villages,
mines and farms if we
could copy them. The
photos will be returned promptly.
“We are
encouraging
residents in the
larger area to
join the group.”
If anyone is thinking of having a clearout of their
home to make space please don’t throw away
things with a local interest but consider giving
them to the group.
Our next meeting will be a Wednesday in January
(date to be announced) at the Artichoke.

Chudleigh and Teign Valley neighbourhood report
September has been a busy month for the Chudleigh
Police. We have had several crimes reported from
the farming community around Chudleigh and the
Teign Valley. These crimes vary from lambs being
killed for their meat, theft of farm equipment, and the
theft of a quad bike.
This is indicates how vulnerable our rural area can
be. There are some basic security measures that can
be taken such as locking rural buildings, marking
equipment and noting serial numbers. Please do
not leave keys for vehicles in them when not in use
and consider data tagging or security marking such
vehicles or machinery.
However our best chance of solving these crimes
comes with persons reporting anything suspicious
when they see it. When reporting anything to us,
please include as much detail as possible, such as
vehicle registration numbers.
There have been a number of crimes in the area
where offenders have been arrested for offences. Two
were arrested for being drunk and disorderly, two for
assaults, one for driving while disqualified, five for
causing criminal damage, and one for burglary of a
garden shed. Other crimes of note include the theft of
a vehicle roof light bar from Lawn Drive in Chudleigh
(the third similar offence in the last three years) as
well as a burglary at the Chudleigh sewage works, and
a theft and damage to road signs in Higher Ashton.
On a more positive note, the Chudleigh and Teign
Valley neighbourhood has seen a 26% reduction
in reported crime to us this year, which shows that
although we have had a busy month the overall trend
is still falling.
We attended Christow on the 3rd September for a
PACT police surgery – thank you to all those people

coming to a Police authority meeting! It was nice to
see you. No real issues were raised and these surgeries
are an ideal way for you to meet the team and raise any
concerns that you may have.
Unfortunately Mark was sunning himself in sunny
Cyprus, and Sarah was ill so missed the grand opening
of the Chudleigh Knighton play park. Well done to
all those who have worked so hard to improve this
facility. It is a credit to the village.
With Halloween and Bonfire night fast approaching
the local team will be working extra patrols to cover
any reported incidents of anti-social behaviour.
October sees the Force running Operation Everest
which is a week of events that will be run across the
area.
The local team will be out on the moor speaking
to motorists and walkers promoting crime prevention
initiatives and we will be out using our speed detection
device to educate motorists in certain key locations.
On 4th November we will be working with students
from Exeter University carrying out street surveying
speaking to local residents to establish any issues that
directly affect their quality of life living in the area.
These results will help set our community priorities
for the coming months.
Next PACT police surgeries are:

• Tuesday 30th November 2010 at 6.30pm in

2 TNovember
here was a very light agenda for this Parish
Council meeting.
The Council welcomed Penny Clapham who
will be taking over as Parish Clerk after Sue Key’s
retirement this month. Councillor Orme thanked
Sue for her sterling work over the years and wished
her a happy retirement.
He also announced that he would be standing
down as Chairman of the PC after this meeting, but
will remain on Council. The Council will appoint a
new Chair at their next meeting.
Councillors Purser (Teignbridge DC) and Brook
(Devon CC) spoke briefly to the meeting about
the comprehensive spending review as both
Councils will need to make cuts in order to meet
the government reduction in spending targets.
Teignbridge will have to cut 27%-28% from its
budget over the next four years but there is a
commitment not to raise the council tax next year.
Councillor Brook stated that it was not yet clear
where DCC cuts will fall but that the Council is
reviewing its non-statutory budgets, and it is likely
that this is where most economies will be made.
DNPA has circulated its draft Recreation and
Access Strategy for Dartmoor 2010-2017 and
Council will be commenting on the document.
The Park also requested that representatives from
the Council attend a meeting in mid November
to discuss the spending review, National Park
governance and planning with respect to the Local
Development Framework and Design Guide.
There were no planning applications and no
planning decisions.
The next meeting of the Christow Parish Council
will take place on 7th December. Proposed
Council meeting dates for 2011 are: 4th January;
1st February; 1st March; 29th March; 17th May;
7th June; 5th July; 6th September; 4th October; 1st
November; 6th December.
The Annual Parish meeting will be held on 26th
April.
Vacant Allotment. The allotment site is
situated on the Teign Valley Road, next to
the cemetery. The rent is £20 a year.

Table Top success
We had an excellent turnout at the Table
Top Sale on November 6th. Thank you to
everyone who came along.
We managed to raise £703 altogether, of which
we gave the Devon Air Ambulance £257. The rest
will go towards funding the Country Club, and
will pay for things such as speakers from the Barn
Owl Trust, learning equipment, weekly prizes and
transport.
It was a lovely atmosphere, and we will be back
again next year!

old photographs inside. Does anyone in the village
know anything about the ladies featured in these
pictures, or when they were taken?
This photograph was taken by Richard Bruford,
one of our editorial team. It is an autumn
view in Blackingstone Woods. If you have
any photographs that you would like to see
published in Christow News, please email them
to contribute@christownews.com – we will try to
feature as many as possible.
