St. Lawrence’s Church Dufton Church Place Long Marton Village Institute Long Marton Village Institute, etc. Maulds Meaburn Village Institute Do you believe what election candidates say - or what the reports say they said? Often not quite the same thing! The recent headlines about the decent interrment of the remains of Richard III left many media pundits baffled. Nurtured in a culture of blame, shame, and condemnation of the accused (whether guilty or not), they were confronted by enthusiastic crowds wanting to fill a gaping blank in our history syllabus, and by forgiving and accepting church leaders - on the one hand, wanting to see the good in all, and on the other, acknowledging that before our Maker we are all found wanting, in need of redemption and forgiving acceptance. Is the old quip about ‘pointing a finger at someone - and finding the other three pointing at yourself’ applicable? Being a journalist must be very difficult when ‘a story’ has to be found and facts come second. Half-truths abound, and the prevailing culture is to believe ‘the worst’. Such has been the fate of Richard. Smear stories spread instantly in print, broadcast and, worst of all, internet. This poem is probably rubbish as poetry, but in ‘the greatest story ever told’ as some call it, could you understand what Easter was about, and who was (or is) guilty? Long ago, before time existed, space was invented, and laws so that quarks and protons, electrons and atoms could all fit together in harmony, Some didn’t listen, went astray, getting arrogant, quarrelling, each wanting their own way, deciding God isn’t there; we only exist by chance. But God’s not dead! “Empty tomb” the women reported, and soon his friends kept meeting him again, still teaching them, encouraging to go, tell everyone. - and stars and galaxies, planets and earth began. The wisdom behind it all we call ‘God’. He looked, and saw it was good. So God let himself be seen. - Came as a baby, called Jesus, and grew to be a man, talking to his friends, and anyone who would listen. “Look” he said, “I am with you even to the end of time”. Though no longer visible, God’s Spirit may still touch the lives of all mankind. Like a Father, he watched, and people felt they were being guided - shown the right way to live, realising God is behind it all. He went about spreading love, healing, acceptance. But those seen to be wrong tried and killed him before long. The end of the tale.

We are very grateful for the very generous donations made by various groups and individuals towards the running costs of this Newsletter. We would welcome articles (and front cover photographs) for this magazine – relevant to the time of year, book reviews, travel articles, etc. Please send them to the editor.The bundles of copies of this Newsletter are taken round to the distributors by Jan and Alan Meakin. They can be contacted on 52407. FROM THE NEWSLETTER Newsletter Manager We are seeking a new volunteer ‘Manager’ for this newsletter. This is the way the current Manager does the job – there could be other ways. The various parts of the job could be done by different people. Ensure there is an editor – make sure there are ‘standby editors’ for use if needed – seek a new editor if one leaves. Arrange the annual rota of the people who put the newsletters into bundles ready to be taken to the distributors – called ‘bundlers’. When told that the newsletters will be ready (usually less than 24 hours notice) • Arrange for the moving of the newsletters from the printers to the place of ‘bundling’ (currently St. Lawrence’s church) (at present there is a volunteer from Rotary who does this task). As last resort, collect the newsletters. • prepare for bundling (ensure the labels are correct, present and in the correct order – and that any list used is correct), alert the ‘bundlers’ for that edition (and find replacements if necessary) and inform those who collect their bundles of newsletters from church and the Meakins (who take the bundles round to the distributors). Take part in the bundling process. When the ‘bundling’ is done, phone the Meakins. Store (somewhere) the boxes used in the distribution process. These are returned by the Meakins – together with the labels and most of the rubber bands. Circulate (by email) the pdf copy of the newsletter. Order supplies (rubber bands) as necessary If you are interested in this job, please contact the current manager via the Newsletter’s email address – heart-of-eden-editor@hotmail.co.uk Confirmation Services in 2015 Appleby Deanery is going to hold two Confirmation Services during 2015. The first is in May at Warcop, and the second is in November at Morland. Both will be during the afternoon so that everyone from parishes around the area is free to come. If you or someone you know would like to explore being confirmed, please get in touch with Rev Sarah Lunn or Rev John Griffiths ( contact details elsewhere in the magazine) for a chat as we need to begin preparations. Hunger is Difficult ‘Hunger is difficult, hunger makes you blind. If you are hungry you can’t see. Your legs can’t walk and your mind can’t think.’ These are the words of an Ethiopian girl called Adi. She was left with no cattle and just one sheep after her husband died. She and her eight children were eating just once a day, and very little even then. With no husband and no livestock, she had no status. She was ignored, sidelined, belittled. Adi is one person Christian Aid was able to help. She isn’t just a statistic in a survey of world poverty. She’s as real as you and me. Statistics can be overwhelming but, when in the face of a mountain of need it seems there’s very little can do, we recall that to the individual and family we can help it is not a little. For them it’s a life-line to survival and hope for better things. People in the Heart of Eden are generous in giving. But their contributions, this year, will remain un-given unless someone calls their door. To take over rounds left vacant by infirmity and death, and to cover our expanding community, we need more collectors. If you help this year and you’re not already on my list, please give me (Roger) a call on 52886. There w i l l be a service to dedicate the Week at 6.30pm in St Lawrence’s Church, on Sunday 1Oth May. CHRISTIAN AID WEEK10-16 MAY NEWS FROM THE PARISHES Appleby Churches Working Together The Churches in Appleby work together to provide the following activities for children and young people. Oasis - Every Friday in term time, after school until 5pm, at Kirkby Thore Chapel, for KS2 children (years 3 - 6) Messy Church - Usually around Christmas and Easter (as advertised), usually at Murton, for all ages St. Lawrence, Appleby Churchwardens: Jean Hutchison, John Tillotson (53349) Gabriel Reid (for Murton), Secretary: Jo Ayres (52017) FROM THE CHOIR STALLS What a lovely Easter – and how good the church looked! Thank you all so much for this , and for your comments to me and the choir about the music during Holy Week and over the Easter period. So now May comes roaring in with 3 church festivals! Ascension Day is on Thursday May 2nd when we will host the Deanery Eucharist at 7.30pm; , Pentecost is on May 24th, and on that day we will have a service at 4pm for the whole of the Heart of Eden Team, and lastly Trinity Sunday is on May 31st and on that day we will have a full Choral Evensong at 6.30pm. So ... a busy time, but full of rewarding music. Do come and join us for one or more of these services. Befriending in the Community. Along with the local NHS Surgeries, we are in the process of starting up a new way of working together as NHS, Community and churches. Many of the local doctors’ surgeries are short of staff and therefore short of time to spend with people in the community or even in the surgery who may be in need of a chat, or a prescription delivery, or dog walking, visiting, or help with filling in a form etc. Members of the Clergy locally are trying to help to find people in our local communities who may have a little time to volunteer to be part of this new scheme. We are not sure of all the details as yet, and we hope that the scheme will develop as we work things out. Sarah Lunn Appleby Mothers’ Union Our meetings are held monthly in the Vestry at St.Lawrence’s at 2 p.m. when we have a short time of worship, a speaker and finish with tea and biscuits.

For some of this time, from mid May, the church will have to be closed and regular services will be held elsewhere, probably in the Memorial Hall. It is hoped to arrange one or two dates when people can visit the church and see something of the work being done some of which is quite exciting. Make, Bake and Grow Our annual Spring Village Fayre is coming up on the morning of Saturday 9th May.

Stocks healthy and in date earliest items for next dispatch dated around August 2016. Thank you to you all for your continued support and generosity. NEWS FROM THE AREA the generous support which makes such a difference. You can imagine how difficult it is to raise money in Indian communities where they have little for themselves, never mind those who are destitute! I am pleased to say we have been able to support children, including some with special needs, in 2 orphanages. We have been able to pay for their education fees and buy clothes for them to wear. Each year we try to do something special and this year we were able to buy a school uniform for them, something they have never had before which is just fantastic. When we are there we try and give the children a special day with plenty of treats. It’s like a Christmas Day for them. This year we gave them sweets, fruits, Indian snacks which they helped themselves to. They were so thrilled on finding enough goodies to keep them going for a week. We are only able to do all this by the generosity of you all supporting curry aid. You may remember last year I mentioned about helping a Mother and her son who both had heart complaints. I am pleased to say because of the kindness of curry aid people we were able to help them both again and Madesh is now home with his Mother. They were totally overcome with the kindness of the people of Eden . Madesh’s Mother sends a big awesome thank you for giving her son back to her as he was in an orphanage and now she can look after him herself. I felt the whole experience very moving and emotional as we have so much and take so many things for granted, while they have so little. If anyone would like to do some fund raising for Curry Aid please contact Jessie Oddy 017683 51227 General Eden River Cafe, Appleby HOST is looking for kind, friendly, hospitable people of all ages whose imaginations are caught by the idea of welcoming an international student at university here, far from his or her own family, to their home, for a day, a weekend or at Christmas.

Appleby Town Council This newsletter went to press before the Town Council’s April meeting. Cloisters The repair work on the west end of the Cloisters, badly damaged by a tractor collision a few months ago, is now complete. Sadly, Garment of Eden have decided not to renew their previous tenancy. Any business interested in renting this prime site is asked to contact the Town Clerk. Moot Hall Over four centuries old, our historic Council chamber urgently requires specialist work to be done on lime rendering its western corners. It is hoped that this will be done over the summer. The building will continue to be used and we plan to open it for a special event to mark the octocentenary of Magna Carta on Sunday, 18th June 2015. Clean Up Several councillors, rotarians and other members of the public have lent a hand in litter picking in areas beyond the scope of EDC’s contracted worker, who has both Appleby and Kirkby Stephen to look after, and welcomes voluntary support. This is clearly an ongoing task, and the Council has obtained pickers to assist in keeping our town looking as it should. Elections May 7 is the day for Parliamentary District and Town Council elections. The present Eden District Councillors for Appleby and Bongate wards are unopposed. In Appleby ward there will also be no Town Council election because there are seven nominees for eight places; but there will be a Bongate vote because nine persons have been nominated. Therefore Mayor- making at the Town Council Annual General Meeting will be on 13 May, after the election results published.. It is planned that the mayoral lunch will be replaced by a dinner, to be held in July. Public Consultation Following the voluntary completion of questionnaires the mayor has drafted a report, to be published soon. This, along with focused public consultation, will help inform the work of the Council’s Neighbourhood Development Plan working party, which is shortly to form a steering group, including representatives of the wider local community. Fair Hill A contract has just been awarded for further work on improved access; it is hoped that this will be completed in the summer. Bus Services Grand Prix, commercial operators of the 563 Kirkby Stephen-Appleby-KirkbyThore-Penrith service, had to introduce a modest fare rise in April. It is vital that this route runs at a profit; please use it, don’t lose it.

Appleby Smarter Now that better weather is here work is proceeding at smartening up Boroughgate. Flower boxes have been installed by the bus stop and in Low Wiend thanks to funding from the Percy Fawcett Fund (feel free to water the plants if they seem thirsty) and sponsorship from individuals and businesses. The main task is repainting the roadside bollards and this will be carried out over the following Sundays by the Probation Service Payback Team. The district council have in hand replacement of damaged bollards - marked with yellow paint. A great Well Done to Brian and Beryl Sowerby for repairs to their retaining wall and railings - we look forward to their summer flower display in the coming months ! Appleby Edibles Spring is here at last and seedlings are sprouting at the polytunnel at the Appleby Heritage Centre. We have a couple of spare planter boxes if anyone wants to try their hand at growing vegetables, just telephone the Heritage Centre 53350. Lots of free advice if you are new to vegetable growing. Litter Too many of us scatter litter - the effect of fast-food wrapping, plastic bags, cans, bottles, smoking waste etc, adorning the highways and byways is particularly harmful in a town whose economy relies so much on being attractive to tourists: please bin your refuse or take it home. And while it’s good that most dog-owners now conscientiously scoop their pet’s poo into a purposemade bag, if they then throw the bag into the verge, hedge, beck or tree, it will be there for months as a health hazard. You can put a dog-poo bag into any waste bin. Free Event Advertising Cumbria Tourism runs the very successful www.golakes. co.uk website which attracts 5.5 million views a year. It is now possible to advertise local events on the Go Lakes Whats On page. If you would like your event to be included forms are available from Appleby Tourist Information Centre.

Opt4 Community Energy, based in Penrith, reached the end of their two-year funding period during which they tackled fuel poverty through energy-saving advice, draught-proofing measures and a switching service to help householders move to cheaper energy tariffs – even winning a national award along the way. “Almost half of the households we helped were in fuel poverty, which affects Eden more than virtually anywhere else in the UK,” said Peter Ward, who led the Opt4 project. “To reach them, we developed partnerships with housing associations and charities across Cumbria and beyond, supporting them in switching, which is the easiest way to cut energy bills. We saved the average household £180 a year and they will now have the confidence to switch regularly and continue to save, which is a legacy we’re really proud of.” Thanks to part-funding from Opt4, an Affordable Warmth advisor will support households in Eden for another six months, and their website will continue to offer advice. The project also provided employment and development for two members of staff. Opt4’s parting advice to households is to switch to a cheaper tariff, cut out draughts in the home, and submit gas and electricity meter readings regularly to avoid large bills building up. Opt4 was part of the Sustain Eden programme, financed by The Big Lottery and managed by Cumbria Action for Sustainability. Appleby Coffee Mornings Appleby Public Hall, Supper Room Saturdays - 9:30am to 11:30am 2nd Royal British Legion 9th Leprosy Mission 16th Emma’s Building, Appleby Primary School 23rd Westmorland Wanderers Netball Club 30th Appleby Carnival Committee Appleby-in-Westmorland Society Heritage by the Wayside Crowns on finger-posts, crests on post boxes and serifs on mileposts – these were just some of the details which even the most eagle-eyed Appleby-in-Westmorland Society members might have missed before their most recent public meeting. The experienced guidance of Society favourite Andy Lowe changed all that. Illustrating his talk with copious slides, he brought his theme of Roadside Heritage to life with his enthusiasm for how, what and where. How did the tollkeeper of yore know when travellers were approaching his turnpike? The answer can still be seen in some tollkeepers’ cottages, with their walls and windows angled to give a clear view up and down the road. What was the origin of the term ‘turnpike’? ‘The metal gate was the pike which the keeper turned to clear the way forward when the toll had been paid’ Andy explained. Why were some milestones so tall? The reason was so that they could be more easily read by travellers on horseback or in stage coaches. Turning to post boxes, Andy regaled his hearers with an equally detailed feast of information, including the perhaps surprising fact that distinguished architect Gilbert Scott no less had designed the first post box, known as K2. Such was the wealth of facts packed into little over an hour that it was surprising that Society members still had any appetite left over for the usual end-of-meeting refreshments. The Friday Club Our first meeting in March was an opportunity for the “Lady” members to enjoy some pampering, a makeup and nail varnish session and some optional massage! The men had the opportunity to show off their skills with various board games, snooker and indoor golf. It was all lots of fun and there was even some crossing over of choices of entertainment! The next meeting was a greatly looked forward to evening of music and percussion. The members all tried various musical instruments and also there was the opportunity to sing along! We enjoyed a much needed drink and snack half way through.

The volunteering roles within each organisation will vary depending on your interests and the time you have available to undergo training and subsequently volunteer.

We offer an appropriate training programme, continuing support, flexible volunteering roles and unbelievable job satisfaction in fulfilling an un-met need. We also cover volunteer expenses.

Ten years have passed since they last put on a show of their own. Unable to find a director, the Players decided to use the funds they had to support live theatre in Appleby by guaranteeing touring professional players at the Public Hall: a few cover their costs, but others don’t. The Players’ funds are now nearly exhausted and the Public Hall risks losing professional shows. If anyone would like to make a donation to continued live theatre, the Players’ bank account is Trustees of Appleby Jubilee Players held by Cumberland Building Society, Appleby; Sort Code: 16-52-21; Account Number: 31448097. Donors could have publicity and could assist Keith Morgan and Andy Connell, who are holding the fort, in choosing from the available shows, if they wished it. And if anyone in Appleby would like to revive the players as a performing society, Keith and Andy would be delighted. Appleby Town Band Enquiries about engaging the band, or becoming a player please phone our conductor, Linda Bainbridge 0n 01931 715 395.for more information.
