The committee led by John Lewis are now in a position to inform the village of conclusions that have been reached on many topics, including housing, business, community and leisure, public services environment, to be included in the Plan. The meeting will beheld in the village hall on Wednesday July 17 at 7.45pm for 8.00pm start will present the draft Village Plan, including the proposed method of seeking endorsement from the village and the timetable for publication of the final Village Plan.
Hanging Basket Competition – part of Chearsley Show
Judging for this takes place in the week beginning July 22. Entry forms , available from the Shop or Joy should be completed and given to Joy Payne at 1 Bernards Close as soon as possible. In past years, entries for this has been disappointing which is surprising in view of the number of very attractive hanging baskets on view at many houses round the village. Hopefully, this year, Joy will be overwhelmed with entries!
MeadowSong Concert at Long Meadow – tickets are still available for this on the evening of Saturday July 6. Please contact Joy Payne on 01844 208513.
Retirement Party – Jean Johnson
In the time honoured tradition of the village, The Bell friends and regulars gathered to say” goodbye” to Jean who has been in The Bell kitchen for over 9 years. Informal ceremonies have been held in the bar over the years to mark many occasions, particularly birthdays, but the retirement of Jean from The Bell was a first. Jean originally came when Sue and Peter Grimsdell ran The Bell, but she continued when Ollie and Sharon took over 6 years ago to become a loyal, reliable and hardworking member of staff, looked on as part of the family, through good and bad times. Flowers and gifts were given to Jean in appreciation of her time at The Bell. She can now look forward to returning as a customer.
Fete – my thanks to everyone who has donated so generously to the jewellery and accessory stall for the fete by leaving little bags of goodies on my doorstep and to one lady in particular who has given a great deal. It should be a great stall to visit!

A great day is planned. All villagers and visitors are welcome to come and enjoy all the fun of a traditional Best of British fete.

The Bell will be open all day. For the evening entertainment, there will be music for dancing and a fish and chip supper. All that can’t be planned will be the weather, but the fete will be held whether there is sun or rain – a very British day!

Shack Attack
Well the rain stayed away (even if the sun did too) and 71 men, women, children and dogs made Shack Attack a fun day & night to remember.
How to have fun at Shack Attack:
First off, build your shack with whatever junk you can find .....
and whichever friends you can persuade to help you...
then test it out ....
then chill out with your friends....
and long lost relatives.....
play some ball games....
while the women add the home comforts
relax in the long grass....
play hide and seek...
or do chin ups...
cool off ...
or go on the prowl for some other mischief....
Then you could have a go at the Unfair Funfair where you can learn all about unfair practices around the world:
Play Crooked Croquet - where you lose points for every toilet in your house and for being able to clean your teeth with clean water.
Try out Blind Hoola Hoop - where you realise that if you can not see what is around you, or how a political system works, you can not beat the system.
There was also:
Origami challenge - try to do your homework (make an origami hat) while the flies are buzzing around your head (a feather duster) and the rain is coming in above you (squirter) and your table is a muddy floor.
Tin Can Alley - try to beat your opponent when you have pathetic sponge balls and full tin cans while they have heavy balls and empty cans, mimicking the way poor countries have to compete with rich countries.
By then you will be hungry, so tuck in to a sausage roll or jacket potato.
Then when it starts to get cold, put on your onesie and toast a marshmallow on the bonfire.
In the morning, as it hasn't rained, test the shacks with water pistols and award certificates.
Then pack up and head home for a shower and clean clothes while thinking about all those families who have to sleep in a shack every night with no access to a bathroom or washing machine. If you have been inspired and want to help more, take a look at http://www.habitatforhumanity.org.uk/, a great charity who lift families out of poverty by helping them build a decent home.
If you left anything behind, please collect it from the porch of Cloverdale.

Do you know how to report a fraud?
Six months since a new way to report fraud was introduced in the Thames Valley, residents are being reminded to remember Action Fraud.
On 3 December 2012, Action Fraud was rolled out to forces in the south east as a one-stop shop for fraud reporting. It has since gone live in every police force across the country and now deals with all fraud reports centrally.
Action Fraud was introduced as part of the Attorney General’s Fraud Review in 2006 and as part of the Cyber Crime Strategy, presented to parliament in 2011. After a successful pilot scheme in five other forces, it was rolled out nationally.
National figures suggest fraud costs the country £73 billion a year, based on the crimes that are reported and recorded. Action Fraud aims to reduce that cost and the bureaucracy on police officers filling in forms, as well as enhancing the quality of targeted investigation and preventative activity.
Anyone who needs to reports a fraud should call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or fill out the fraud reporting from on their website. Action Fraud will take the report and provide them with a national crime reference number. There is also a dedicated email address for people to contact and receive updates on their fraud report.
Of the thousands of reports Action Fraud has taken, about fifteen per cent actually result in a fraud crime being recorded. However, all information gathered is provided daily to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) at the City of London Police where it is analysed, alongside other information reported from government departments, financial institutions, and other large organisations.
The NFIB will then send any crimes where there is actionable intelligence or viable lines of enquiry to individual forces to investigate.
The only exceptions to this, when police should be called rather than Action Fraud will be; if the crime is taking place with an offender either at or near the scene at the time the report is being made, or the victim/person reporting the fraud is vulnerable, or if significant evidence will be lost if the police don’t attend the report straight away. In these exceptions the report can be made directly to Thames Valley Police who will respond in the usual manner.
There are a number of benefits for victims under the scheme, including a single point of contact for all victims of fraud in the Thames Valley and Action Fraud identifying repeat and vulnerable victims.

On 3 December 2012, Action Fraud was rolled out to forces in the south east as a one-stop shop for fraud reporting. It has since gone live in every police force across the country and now deals with all fraud reports centrally.
Action Fraud was introduced as part of the Attorney General’s Fraud Review in 2006 and as part of the Cyber Crime Strategy, presented to parliament in 2011. After a successful pilot scheme in five other forces, it was rolled out nationally.
National figures suggest fraud costs the country £73 billion a year, based on the crimes that are reported and recorded. Action Fraud aims to reduce that cost and the bureaucracy on police officers filling in forms, as well as enhancing the quality of targeted investigation and preventative activity.
Anyone who needs to reports a fraud should call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or fill out the fraud reporting from on their website. Action Fraud will take the report and provide them with a national crime reference number. There is also a dedicated email address for people to contact and receive updates on their fraud report.
Of the thousands of reports Action Fraud has taken, about fifteen per cent actually result in a fraud crime being recorded. However, all information gathered is provided daily to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) at the City of London Police where it is analysed, alongside other information reported from government departments, financial institutions, and other large organisations.
The NFIB will then send any crimes where there is actionable intelligence or viable lines of enquiry to individual forces to investigate.
