Just in time for Christmas
From Karin Sampson:
Just thought we'd share our happy news. It was a very long wait but we're finally pleased to announce that Baby Louis William Sampson was born 9lbs 3oz on Tuesday 20th December at 12.29am. Me, Toby and younger brother Freddie are so pleased to have him finally with us just in time for Christmas, the best present we could have ever hoped for.

Carol singing round the village
Come and join in a hearty sing song of carols round the village on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 evenings. Meet at the bus stop at 6.30pm and look forward to refreshments afterwards. 2 charities of DEBRA and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust, which have associations with two Chearsley young people , will benefit from the donations.
Shop Hours
Opening hours at the shop have altered somewhat since I spoke to Jeyan. It is planned for the shop to be open from 8am until 8pm until Christmas, when it will be closed for two days. From December 27 to January 5 in the New Year, it will open at 8 am but close from 11am to 3pm, and re-open at 3 until 6pm (or 8pm) But things might change .. ! This might not be very helpful and it might be better to hope the shop will be open when you need it, but not be surprised if it isn’t. Please however be understanding, as finding staff while Jeyan and Sugi are away visiting their relatives this Christmas is very difficult and they truly deserve their time away from their shops.
Thank you and Happy Christmas
Thank you to everyone who tells me they appreciate the news I put on the Chearsley website. I have found this very heartening when it is difficult to find any! I would also like to apologise when I get things wrong, but I do my best. As some of you who are also readers of the Bucks Herald will already know, I will no longer be contributing to the Neighbourhood News in 2017 due to a “change of policy” by The Bucks Herald , but I will try to continue to keep up the Chearsley news in the New Year and with help from villagers try to keep news circulating of forthcoming village events.
Anyone who would like information of any sort broadcast on the blog can ring me on 208913 or email me at margmorb@mail.com. As I will now go to ground with family festivities until the New Year, I wish everyone a Very Happy Christmas and a Very Happy 2017.
Refuse Collections : Wednesday December 21 : when the general refuse bins and food bins will be collected. The next collection will be Thursday December 29 for the recycling bins and food bins. After that, our normal collection days are unaffected.

Lost Sheep
Have you found any of the lost sheep yet? Apparently they have been sighted looking for turnips, trying to post a letter, and one was even been seen sitting on an old plough. Oh, and a bloke called Bernard reckons he has seen two down his road!
Reminder Not To Leave Valuables In Your Vehicle
This is a message sent via Action Fraud Alert and has been sent on behalf of Thames Valley Police.
The Aylesbury Vale Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NHPTs) are reminding residents to remove property from their parked vehicles.
Recent thefts have included briefcases, Christmas presents, clothing, house keys, a brand new satnav and tools from vans.
It is likely that these crimes have been committed by opportunist criminals, tempted by property left on display. If they see something inside a parked car it only takes a moment to smash a window and grab the property.
Please don’t make life easy for them and take a moment to read the following points:-
Recent thefts have been reported in the Aylesbury, Brill, Oakley and Great Horwood areas. Please help the police by reducing the opportunities for criminals.

Please don’t make life easy for them and take a moment to read the following points:-
- Don’t leave items on display – even a carrier bag could tempt them to take a closer look, resulting in the loss of your property and vehicle being out of service while it is being fixed.
- Don’t try and hide property inside your car – property is easily stolen from boots or other compartments within the vehicle.
- Park in a well-lit area if possible and make sure the vehicle is locked and the alarm engaged if you have one.
- Report anyone acting suspiciously around parked vehicles at the time that you see them. Don’t leave it to someone else – you might be the only witness.
- If you do see someone try and get a description of them, along with details of any vehicle they might be using. Call it through on 101, or if a crime is happening at that time dial on 999.
- If you discover that your vehicle has been broken into make sure you let the police know.

Village News
with Margaret Morbey
Christmas Bingo
The Bell was well filled on Tuesday December 6 for the last Bingo of the year. Sharon and her staff, had gone to town with their Christmas costumes with particular mention and admiration for Louisa for coping with her Christmas cracker costume all evening. Leslie, our co- Bingo caller, also looked the part as a very festive snowman. All the happy, eager and noisy bingo players and the jolly staff meant a good fun evening was enjoyed by everyone with good cash prizes, and the final full house of the evening of £100. If you haven’t tried Bingo at The Bell before, your next chance will be on Tuesday (always the first Tuesday of the month) January 3, with Eyes Down at around 8.45pm, after meals have finished.
Christimas Tree on The Green
The countdown by all assembled villagers round the tree on Friday December 9th led successfully to the lights being turned by the latest Chearsley Celebrity, Adam Lazaruk, who won this year’s Bucks & MK Volunteer of the Year award, richly deserved for all the time he has given to Chearsley Cricket Club. Carols were heartily sung by everyone, followed by the little children sweetly singing Away in a Manger and finishing with a prayer by our new vicar Richard Phillips, who is quickly becoming a very familiar and friendly face in the village. Nic Brown generously arranged for mulled cider and wine and mince pies. A good start to Christmas 2016 in Chearsley. Donations received on the evening will also go to DEBRA and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
BBC Sports Awards
Adam Lazaruk, as winner of the Bucks & MK volunteer of the Year prize, is now in with a chance of winning an award at this year’s BBC Sports Personality awards which will be held in Birmingham on Sunday December 18 and shown live on BBC 1 from 18.40 to 10pm. If he wins the Unsung Hero Award which is given to someone “who has given their time and talents for free to enable others to participate in sport”, he will be skyped and appear on the programme. I know all the cricket club and friends and villagers will be keeping their fingers crossed for Adam. Good luck for another success.
New Village Hall Fund Raising
Elevensies, the recent coffee and craft fund raiser held on Saturday 3 raised over £1000. This amount will be generously matched by Rectory Homes and The Heybrook family, as will any other future hall fund raising event.
New Year Quiz
There are plans for another quiz to be held at the end of January. Last year’s quiz was a sell out, so watch out for more details of the date for this next fund raising for the hall event and make sure you book your table in good time.
Parish Council Meetings
There has been some confusion over Parish Council meeting dates. The next meeting is the Budget one to be held this Monday December 12th at 7.30pm in the hall. There is no other meeting in December. The next one will be on Monday January 16th at 7.30pm.
Minutes of the Parish council
Did you know that Minutes of the last Parish council meeting held on November 21 can be viewed on here?
New flagpole
Have you noticed that the new flag pole has now been erected? The Parish Council are now waiting for a new flag to replace the old tattered one.
Carol singing round the village
Come and join in a hearty sing song of carols round the village on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 evenings. Meet at the bus stop at 6.30pm and look forward to refreshments afterwards. Two charities of DEBRA and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust, which have associations with two Chearsley young people, will benefit from the donations.
Special Birthday Greetings to Captain Dave Thomas of Chearsley who has recently celebrated a signicant birthday. An honour for Chearsley to have such a “high flyer” in our midst as it will be remembered that Dave was selected to fly the Olympic flame in 2012 from Greece to London with Princess Anne, David Beckham, Boris Johnson and Seb Coe amongst his passengers. He has also flown Queen Elizabeth II on state visits. Impressive. Happy Birthday!

Tree Lighting
Away in a manager, no crib for a bed...
This year the lights were switched on by Chearsley's newest celebrity, Adam Lazaruk - recent winner of the Bucks & MK 'Volunteer of the Year Award'.
We then sang some carols including "Away in a manger" by the children. Our new vicar, Richard Phillips then blessed us all.
Sharon served mulled wine at The Bell and hot mince pies - generously donated by Parish Council Chairman, Nic Brown.
A collection was made for two very worthy charities - DEBRA and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust

Garland Making Morning
Over £300 has been added to the New Village Hall Fund by the generosity of Joy Payne who donated her charges for her garland morning. 15 people (surprisingly all ladies) enjoyed a demonstration of how to make a Christmas garland for the front door and attempted very successfully to make their own, which are now proudly displayed on front doors throughout Chearsley, with 1 in Long Crendon and 2 in Aylesbury. Thank you Joy.
Murder at The Manor
An interesting evening with supper provided by the Village Hall Committee and entertained by Thame Players was enjoyed by 60 villagers on Saturday evening at the village hall and raised around £800 for the New Village Hall fund. The audience were “neighbours and friends” of the Worthington-Jones’ family at a wonderful reception at Worthington Manor and were witnesses to the murders. We were all invited to write down the name of the guilty suspect or suspects, with the winning entry receiving a prize, which went to Joseph Grapes who attended with his family. It took a youngster to follow the plot and work out who did it. Well done Joseph. A fun and entertaining evening for a good cause.
HGV Survey
Another HGV count took place on Friday November 25 and John Howard thanks all those who braved the cold to help. It was hoped to see from the count whether there were any discernible affects from the closure of the Ashendon/Westcott Road compared to results of previous surveys in June and July. There was a significant drop in the number of HGVs entering the village by the Winchendon Road, but little noteworthy changes otherwise, including a very high number of vehicles entering the village by Crendon Road and exiting via Winchendon Road. Any thoughts of how to interpret the figures would be welcomed by John and the Parish Council. The Parish Council will continue to press Bucks County Council in co-operating with Cuddington, Ashendon and Westcott to introduce restrictions of HGVs using C roads through our villages.
Gift Tags
Andrew, better known to many affectionately as Podge, and myself would like to thank everyone who responded to our request for old Christmas cards. We have spent many happy hours throughout the year, with a bit of a speed up in the past month, cutting them up to turn them into attractive gift tags. They can now be purchased from The Bell, with grateful thanks for Sharon for having our basket on the bar. Steve and Jane at Bradmoor Farm Shop and Cafe have also very kindly agreed to sell the gift tags for us again this year, and Andrew was really pleased to see how well they are selling there. We still have quite a good supply of old cards, but would welcome some more again after this Christmas.
