It’s Jubilee Party Time at the Hall

Letter from
the Vicar
July 2012
I would like to start my letter this
month by thanking all those involved
in the Jubilee weekend celebrations
and the Church Garden Party; a lot
of hard work went into it which, I am
sure, was appreciated a great deal. The
Church looked beautiful with very
attractive and appropriate fl owers;
the refreshments afterwards in the
Hall after the Church service and
the decorations to compliment
them; the special event of Sir Bobby
Charlton raising our new Union Jack
up the new fl agpole all contributed
to a special day on the Sunday. The
Monday was equally special with,
not only, an enjoyable (and dry)
Garden Party but also a variety
of entertainment as we carried on
celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of
the Queen with a children’s party
and disco, the Hog Roast and the
entertainment in the evening.
I was talking to someone about
the weekend and why it had been
special. The sense of something
being important and precious to the
whole community and being for the
whole community has come across
in what people have said. It was
lovely to see so many people- from
both inside the Parish and visitors-
enjoying themselves and having fun
together.
The talk about the event being
important and precious to the whole
community has made me refl ect
on how, sometimes, we forget how
important and precious things are
or how a lack of knowledge prevents
us from appreciating something
valuable.
A lot of people might think of
the Church in a similar way; it is
important , of course, to those who are
regular members of the congregation
and to those for whom their faith
and the Church has been and is
of importance in their lives but, for
whom, coming to the church building
is diffi cult. The Church, however,
is important to a lot more people,
if only, at signifi cant points in their
lives; baptisms and marriages being
just a few examples. Special times of
year and events happen at the church
such as Remembrance Day services,
the popular Christingle service
followed by a party. The Parish
system in the Church of England
means that everyone has access to a
priest and a church whether they are
a regular church goer or not. We may
not always be aware of the value of it
until we need it.
The Jubilee weekend was valued
because people realised it was
important and used their time and
talents so that the Community as
a whole could enjoy it. People were
generous in their time in many
different ways. Thank you for
generosity which is appreciated. I
would like you to think about the
importance of the church and church
community in this parish and whether
or not you, too, could support it by
using your own skills, time and gifts.

Rosemary Helen Haines
Born Rosemary Helen Gillingham on 18th February 1950 in Poole, Dorset to a
shop manager, she was educated in the Bournemouth area at Grammar school and
read music at Reading University gaining an Honours BA. Following training at
Goldsmith’s College, London she started a Primary teaching career in Erith. After
marrying John his medical career took her to Edinburgh, Nottingham, Bristol
and Cheadle Hulme before moving to Ollerton in 1988.
She loved music especially piano and singing. At 18 she sang a solo verse on
BBC’s Songs of Praise. She was a member of Tatton Singers for 23 years being
librarian and assistant conductor on occasions. She was also a member of John
Powell Singers and sang on Radio 4’s Morning Service regularly. There were
singing tours to Northern Spain, Slovakia and Italy where she loved being part
of good music in beautiful places such as the Basilica in Assisi.
She was an active member of All Saint’s, Marthall being in the choir and helping
at times with junior church. She was Churchwarden for a period and sat on the
Parochial Church Council bringing principle and common sense to arguments
on occasion. She organised reading and organists rotas -
she even played the organ at the crib service.
She brought up her two children, Robert and Clare full time. They attended
Ollerton Primary School and Rosemary helped with teaching on occasions. She
returned to teaching at Mobberley and then went into special needs teaching with
Cheshire County. Latterly she volunteered at the local Manor Park School
where her expertise will be sadly missed.
Throughout her dealings with everyone she had an easy and engaging way that
made people listen and understand. She put extra effort into whatever she did to
make sure that it was a complete success. A packed Memorial Service paid tribute
to the number of lives she touched who will miss a truly ‘lovely lady.’
A Tribute To Rosemary
It was a tremendous shock when I got the phone call from Rosemary a few months ago to tell me that she had
cancer and, I suspect, that like many I am shocked still.
I have known Rosemary for less than three years but in that time I have realised what a special and
loving person she was. I felt her warmth and kindness from the time I arrived in the Parish; that care and
compassion was apparent even on the day she died. I experienced that compassion and concern; that gentle
care last year when I was experiencing cancer.
Rosemary, like others in the Parish was part of my
“ Houseworking Team” giving me support in very practical ways; she was an excellent visitor in hospital-
knowing how to be there, what to say and how long to stay- I felt that love she was so good at giving and
so grateful for it. Rosemary will be remembered for her many gifts and talents; her music, sense of fun, her
ability to see the potential in others and to encourage them. I realise that in the same way as she cared for me
she cared for and supported others.
I am sure that others of you who have known her for longer and have been close to her will have many other
special memories to be grateful for and to treasure. I have no doubt that Rosemary will be missed very greatly
and that the Church will be packed to overfl owing for the Thanksgiving Service in celebration for Rosemary’s
life on 21 st June; a real refl ection on the special person she was and will remain.
I am sure that all of you are keeping John, Clare, Robert, Annie and the rest of Rosemary’s family in your
thoughts and prayers as I am and, like me, wanting to give them all the support we can in the time to come. I
am concerned for others who feel the loss of Rosemary; I will do whatever I can to be here for all who might
want my support as well. May Rosemary rest in peace. With my prayers Lynette

WE CELEBRATE THE
DIAMOND JUBILEE
OF HER MAJESTY
QUEEN ELIZABETH 11
The Ollerton, Marthall and Little
Warford weekend fi ttingly began on
Sunday, 3rd of June, with a well-attended
service of celebration and thanksgiving
conducted by the Rev’d Lynette
Sweet at All Saints Church. After the
service concluded with a full-throated
rendition of the National Anthem the
congregation re-raised their umbrellas to
walk to the Hall where the ladies of the
Womens’ Institute had laid on tea and
coffee and a tempting buffet, notably a
long trestle table laden selection of cupcakes
decorated in red, white and blue,
many sporting miniature Union fl ags.
Cllr Alan Street,
Sir Bobby &
Lady Charlton
Dedicate the fl ag

Following an introduction by
Councillor George Littler, the Chairman
of Ollerton with Marthall Parish Council,
Alan Street, welcomed Sir Bobby and
Lady Charlton, and Councillor Roger
Buckley, Chairman of Little Warford
Parish Council. “ It is a pleasure
and privilege to invite Sir Bobby to
commission the new Hall at Marthall
fl ag pole to commemorate our Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee “ but before he did so
he wished to thank the group from every
branch of our parish life who have, under
the chairmanship of George Littler,
organised - in coordination with Lynette
Sweet - the programme of celebratory
events this weekend. Today has been one
of serious contemplation and dedication;
tomorrow will, as Her Majesty asked, be
one of family fun and good fellowship.
To applause, thanks were extended
to Lynette for the fi tting content of
the service, and of course to the familiar
group of volunteers “who have once
again fed and watered us this morning.”
The fl ag pole is presented to the
community by the Ollerton with Marthall
Parish Council ( which means as the
Chairman pointed out “you have
treated yourselves to it”.) but also with
generous help from Kevin Warburton
and associates from Oakwood Nurseries.
“Thank you, Kevin”. The fl ags, one the
Union fl ag which will be hoisted in a
moment: the second an armorial of the
Hall at Marthall, displayed at the side of
the room; have been presented by Little
Warford Parish Council, so “thank your
residents for that, Roger”,
“Sir Bobby, will you please do us the
honour of raising the fl ag of the Union as
a declaration of thanks and respect from
the villages of Ollerton, Marthall, and
Little Warford for 60 years of dedicated
service by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
the Second”. And “thank you very much
for making time to do so, especially as we
saw on the box you were still at Wembley
at about 10pm last night,”
After thanking us for giving him the
opportunity to do so, and emphasising the
on-going pleasure of living in the parish,
Sir Bobby duly braved the rain to hoist the
fl ag to the relayed sound of the National
Anthem.

DIAMOND JUBILEE
MARKING THE OCCASION
The diamond Jubilee celebrations held on the3rd and 4th of June leave us
with happy memories of the event but it is important for us to leave a more
permanent record of the occasion.
We now have our new Jubilee fl ag pole which will act in this capacity, as does
the Jubilee Tree planted at the time of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, now a fully
mature tree, situated in the grass triangle outside the Old School house.
Beryl Bailey and Jane Mckenna are photographed holding two of the kneelers
incorporating a special design chosen specially for the Jubilee These will be
used in church as additional reminders of the very special occasion.

Make use of your lawn cuttings by using them as a mulch around your fruit
trees. Even though we have had a huge amount of rain, it is still essential
to check hanging baskets and all containers, the rain never manages to
penetrate in to the soil as all the plants create and umbrella and tend to keep
the soil beneath dry.
If you haven’t done so already it’s time to cut all your daffodils and tulips
down to the ground, all the goodness will by now have gone back in to the
bulb.
Net all your soft fruits to protect them from birds.
Make sure all your perennials are secured with canes and tie in, with this
heavy rain they will easily bend and snap.
Tie in your tomatoes to their supports as they grow, feed every week.
Keep on top of spraying your Roses to protect from pests and diseases, dead
head to encourage new blooms.
Dead heading applies to many fl owers around the garden, with regards to
the Day Lilies by dead heading on a daily basis preferably fi rst thing in the
morning, you will have a prolifi c display throughout the Summer.
Take cuttings from your lavender, as these plants are particularly short-lived,
by propagating them you will have a fresh set of plants for next year.Out of
all the Lavender ‘Hidcote’ has to be my favourite, it has the most wonderful
blue purple exquisitely scented fl owers, the thing to remember about Lavender
is that it is a Mediterranean plant so when planting it is advisable to put a
handful of grit underneath each plant so it never sits in water, when pruning
or cutting your Lavender remember never to cut in to the old wood, by doing
this you will encourage growth and keep a healthy bushy plant.When your
sweet peas are in fl ower, keep picking them and remove any seed pods to
plants remain productive.
Liquid feed all container plants regularly and where possible place saucers
under pots to conserve water!
In the Greenhouse - Begin removing the lower leaves on tomato vines to
aid ripening and encourage the plants to put their energy into fruit production.
Most other plants can be moved outdoors for the summer.
• Tie shoots of honeysuckle and climbing roses to supports.
• Pinch out the shoot tips of dahlias.
• Deadhead lupins.

THE
OLYMPIC
TORCH
RELAY
A surprisingly
emotional
experience
by Alan Street
When it was announced the torch would
be passing within yards of my home (
past the top of what I still prefer to call
Potts Lane ) the immediate thought was
that ‘ I might as well go and see it ‘as it is
very unlikely to happen again in my lifetime,
but when it became evident from
an account by friends in Gloucestershire
in the same proximity to the route that all
I would see would be a fl eet of buses and
4 x 4’s passing at about 50 miles an hour
- why bother ? After all, many years ago
I had gone ashore with my family when
sailing from Crete towards the Adriatic
and had been soundly beaten in a race
in the original Olympic stadium by my
then sub-teen age daughters. But when
the scenes attending the passage of the
torch through towns and villages further
south started to be shown nightly on the
box I came to realise I was completely
wrong !!
After spending some time prospecting
to see how close one could get a car to
the route, I eventually arrived at Tatton
Park.I had to be there about two-anda-half
hours before the torch was due
to avoid the road closures. It was very
wet and took umbrellas, rain gear and
stout shoes and went for a walk in the
gardens. In late May - early June when
the rhododendrons and azaleas are in
full bloom I reckon Tatton Park is one of,
if not the most colourful places on earth.
We also viewed some of the Biennial
Contemporary Art exhibits ‘Flights of
Fancy’ scattered throughout the Gardens
and Parkland . ( There are also displays
inside the Mansion ) - I’m not a Tate
Modern man myself , but some are very
imaginative - the ‘ Pont de Singe’ in the
Japanese Garden is particularly emotive
I thought.
PTO

About eleven o’clock we returned
to the Mansion , and another of my
preconceptions was dispelled. I had been
afraid we would miss the ambiance of the
crowds lining the streets in Knutsford,
but the hub-bub which guided back came
from hundreds of ultra-excited school
children from a wide area at our end of
Cheshire East - all drawn up as if on a
parade ground, each school decked out
in a different colour T-shirt emblazoned
with Olympic symbols.There was a
silver band, and choirs to entertain the
assembly. It was still raining, but we
were lucky enough to fi nd ourselves on a
lawn immediately in front of the house
with a cluster of local notables,including
our M.P. George Osborne, and our local
Borough Councillor, George Walton ,
this year’s mayor of Cheshire East, with
his consort, Veronica.
Chatting to the man next to me disclosed
he was the brother of the fi nal torch
bearer, who had been nominated as
a reward for many years teaching and
encouraging youngsters to to get actively
involved in sport.
When the torch arrived it was
particularly displayed to to the massed
ranks of children who went wild with
enthusiasm. I have to admit the scene
brought tears to my eyes, The entire
event was surprisingly emotional , and I
suppose very much in keeping with the
original Hellenistic tradition - even if
the weather was very British. !!

George Littler

Our theme for this half term is “Summer” and weather permitting
we hope to be spending lots of valuable time enjoying our outside
facilities, we will be exploring the nearby woods, taking the parachute
onto the fi eld and practising a variety of races for Sports’ day. We are
looking forward to celebrating the Olympic games not only taking part
in lots of different racing events but learning new skills such passing
the baton, jumping over hurdles, putting the shot and taking part in a
triathlon.
The children will be celebrating the work of Rachel Whiteread an
artist who explored the emblem of the games and composed a pattern
of over lapping rings featuring the Olympic colours. Like Rachel
Whiteread the children will be using (unbreakable) glasses to print the
over lapping circles.
Thanks to Lisa and Graham Bessant our summer trip will be a visit
to the Gauntlet bird Centre in Knutsford. We have been several times
and have always enjoyed the experience. The birds are spectacular!
We will be sorry to say good bye to our 21 School Leavers and we
wish them well when they start their new schools in September.

I was sitting at the computer-as you do!! waiting it for it to warm up and for
inspiration for my next article.And it came as on the screen appeared a lovely
Lakeland picture-clear majestic fells refl ected in the quiet blue waters of the lake.
When I fi nally took the plunge some years ago(not into an ice-cold lake)-but into
computer ownership I returned to the shop in Cumbria where I had bought my
word-processor some twelve years earlier.This was because my word-processor
had ‘died’ just before I left for holiday in Sedbergh and being on holiday gave me
the extra time and impetus to go to a shop I had confi dence in and buy my fi rst
computer.-a decision I have certainly not regretted for all sorts of reasons.
However it was an unexpected bonus, that the screen-saver the shop put on and
which I have kept, should be such a lovely Lakeland view and a picture of two
things which encourage me so much in my Christian faith Hills and water!
Hills speak to me of God’s majesty and power but especially of his faithfulness.
Faithfulness -through all the changing seasons-through all the changing years-the
hills remain -as one writer describes it The hills that gird our dwellings round
As thou dost gird thine own with love.
And the water-refreshing-cleansing-renewing.-life-giving .............
As I write this article I am preparing for my annual time of renewal among the
hills and water of Scotland-nine days in a lovely bed and breakfast perched on
the hillside above Loch Broom at Ullapool in the North-west Highlands.Nine days
of being able to feast on the hills and water-the beauty of God’s creation; before
driving south to Glasgow to renew friendships with people from my fi rst circuit
Cumbria Scotland Cheshire-where-ever; words of another hymn say it all for me
I lift my eyes to the quiet hills,in the press of a busy day.
As green hills stand in a dusty land So God is my strength and stay.
I lift my eyes to the quiet hills To a calm that is mine to share
Secure and still in the Father’s will And kept by the Father’s care.

thanked.
A vote of thanks was also given to the members who had worked so hard setting
up a wonderful Diamond Jubilee table display of cup cakes to serve to the
congregation following the church service on Sunday 3rd June, along with endless
