How do we keep the children occupied and out of mischief? The answer lies on the next page, practising and completing entries for the Show competitions. Encourage them to enter. Don't leave it to the last minute (it isn't homework after all)! There are a number of open classes as well. Let us have a bumper number of entries this year. The Show Chairman wants to be properly challenged when tasting the Victoria sponges! In each class, those placed 1st - 3rd receive the specially commissioned 2015 Dilwyn Show Coaster (gold for 1st; silver for 2nd and blue for 3rd bronze is not a good colour on a black slate background). The design this year is of Church House, the Grade II listed cottage (14th century origins) opposite St. Mary's church. In prior years it featured St. Mary's church, the School, the Crown, the Forge, the War Memorial, the Great House, the village green, the mill stone by Karen Court and a number of general views of the village. This year's coaster is the 12th. Full details about the Show can now be found on the village website, www.dilwyn.com (follow the links on the Home Page) Further show details will be included in the May Dilwynner.

"Paddington" Friday 17th April 2015 Cedar Hall at 7.30.pm. The Plot From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (HARRY POTTER), PADDINGTON tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear (voiced by Firth) who travels to the city in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that says "Please look after this bear. Thank you," and offer him a temporary haven. A charming and sweet-natured family film, full of wit and fun, skewed towards young children but cheekily speckled with sly gags pitched at the older audience. After an origin myth sequence set in darkest Peru (incidentally packed with some outrageous campery), our young, ursine hero arrives in England, to be adopted by the Brown family in their west London townhouse. It is updated from Michael Bond's original tales from the 1950’s and 60’s. Well, updated a bit. Fusty-but-lovable Mr Brown is played with relish by Hugh Bonneville. Sally Hawkins is Mrs Brown; nice neighbour Mr Gruber is played by Jim Broadbent and Peter Capaldi is the horrid neighbour, Mr Curry. Julie Walters plays Mrs Bird, no longer the housekeeper, but a distant relative (who evidently doesn't qualify for a first name). The villain of the piece is Nicole Kidman, giving it the full Cruella de Vil as a sinister taxidermist called Millicent. We hope that you will come along and enjoy these films in Dilwyn’s Cedar Hall. Cabaret seating - own drinks and snacks may be brought if required. However, tea, coffee, squash and biscuits will be available during the interval. Weobley Blue Grass Music Concert Programme: First, 20 minutes of Weobley’s own band, reborn as Alive And Pickin and now bluesy, country and jazzy. Saturday 9th May 2015 Then 50 minutes of The Remi Harris Quartet. Weobley Music wouldn’t be the same without Remi, this year with a percussionist for, as Remi says, ‘just a few numbers’. 7.30 pm at Weobley Village Hall, HR4 8SN. Tickets £10 (before 25th April) then £11 (including at the door). To book email [email protected] or call 01544 318513 Finally, an hour of 3 Belgians and an ‘Irish immigrant’ who make up The Sons Of Navarone. They were voted Best European Bluegrass Band in 2012, so this is probably the best bluegrass outside the USA. Book early – we sold out in 2013 and 2014!

These will be displayed around the village on 11 July when people can pay a small fee to enter the trail and guess the identity of our straw and papier mache masterpieces.… The theme is "Great Britons" and there is a list of 60+ historical characters to choose from. All contributions are welcome and please do not be put off if you have never made a scarecrow before or don't know where to start. I am happy to help where ever possible and FOSM volunteers can assist with putting them up on the day if required.

Neighbourhood Watch PROPERTY MARKING DAY. SATURDAY 18TH APRIL 2015 HOPELANDS VILLAGE HALL WEOBLEY 10AM - 2.00PM On Saturday 18th April 2015 the Kington Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team will be visiting The Hopelands Village Hall, Weobley between 10.00am and 2.00pm. Funding has been secured from the police commissioner to fund property marking kits. Please bring all your hand and power tools, lawn mowers etc to hall where the team will overtly mark them for you FREE of charge. By doing this you will greatly discourage any thief from stealing them in the first place. Come along and talk to the team about any crime prevention advise you think would benefit you. We will also be able to advise on simple and cost effective alarms and further property marking schemes. It is hoped that signage will also be available to display that your property is all marked.

Dilwyn W.I. The Old Forge New members are always welcome. Last month it was a real treat to have Paul Meanwell come and talk to us about his time as a mounted policeman in Birmingham. He told us how he first started and he also had many interesting tales to tell, one of which was how he and another mounted police officer were separated from their group at a football match in Birmingham and were surrounded by very hostile fans. Luckily their colleagues managed to get to them in time. Paul ended up training new recruits many years later and he obviously had a varied and very interesting career. This month we are having a demonstration on pressed flowers by Yvonne Mott. This is an open meeting so anyone is welcome to come.

Then with a flare of its wings it made a perfect two point landing on the croquet lawn. From its beak hung a sling, and nestling in the sling were 2 Norfolk Terrier puppies. The stork's name is Kim, and her journey had started from Gladestrey. Welsh puppies! They told me how pleased they were to see the dragon flying from the church flagstaff on 1st March. Their names are Bertie and Ali, shortened versions of their full pedigree names. They are full brother and sister so steps sadly will need to be taken! Bertie is the one under Hilary's left arm. In another life we used to have a Norfolk called Paddington. His father, Nanfan Heckel, was a Cruft's champion, and by happy coincidence the great great etc grandfather of these two. As I write they are now 5 months old and sadly not very housetrained. They do egg each other on so. And worse, they are adepts at the art of escapology. Wonderful Graham Dyer came at 24 hour's notice to create "half fortress Perrymead". The other half is imminent, and we are counting the hours. We cannot believe through how small a hole a determined puppy can wriggle. The morning constitutional happens at 7.30ish and we are rewarded? with the sound of mighty woodpecker hammering on the steeple. I have been told that when the steeple was reshingled some 40 years ago, cedar was used. This, being fairly soft, is a delicacy for woodpeckers. The recent renewal was in oak, which may explain the sheer volume of noise, or maybe we forgot to tell the woodpecker about the change. Next month…. Chateau Perrymead Weather Watch Nature Watch February, a dry month with just over 1.6 inches of rain, compared to the 6.9 inches during the deluges in February last year. Not a drop of rain in the gauge for the first eleven days of the month. In fact the only thing to trouble the rain gauge in that time was the birds using it as a toilet. Not unexpectedly the overnight temperatures were below zero on eighteen nights getting down to -7 at one point. Quite a heavy hail storm on the 21st and gale force winds on the last night of the month. In the 1960's the Robin was voted Britain’s national bird. However there is now an opportunity to vote once again. The online voting is now live and will close at midnight May 7th 2015 – the date of the General Election. Britain’s National Bird will be announced thereafter. The following 10 birds have been nominated from an original list of 60 iconic British birds that were voted on last year.

March, the Branch was treated to a stimulating talk on the subject of 'Orchard Origins' by Julia Merton, one of the Project Officers for this organisation. 'Orchard Origins' began about three years ago to support management of traditional Herefordshire orchards, many of these now being lost as more intensive large-scale systems become necessary for commercial reasons. To this end they have now established links with 97 orchards, including two major landowners. Further information is available through HWT: Tel. 01432 356872 or on their website http://orchardorigins.org/ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Our next meeting will be held at Hopelands, Weobley Village Hall at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday 1st.

Weobley History Society April Meeting The last meeting for the winter programme will be on Wednesday 22nd of April at 7.30pm at Hopelands when Julia Orton-Davies will tell us about the munitions factory at Rotherwas. Summer Outing: Wednesday 24 June 2015 Outing by coach to Upton Cressett Hall near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, the home of Mr William and Lady Laura Cash. The 2.30pm tour of the house and gardens will be followed by tea and cake. We intend to leave Weobley by coach in mid-morning and stop for a light lunch en route. If you would like to join us and are not a member of the History Society, please request a booking form from Elizabeth Holley [email protected], 01544 318789 or Stella Hurdidge [email protected], 01544 318819. We anticipate that the cost for the tour, refreshments and the coach fare will be about £25.00 per person. This will be finalised as soon as possible. We shall arrange to stop somewhere for lunch on the way. You can choose to eat at the inn or bring a packed lunch. Dating back to the Domesday Book, the ancient manorial complex of Upton Cressett includes a fine Norman church, a medieval ornamental water garden with fish ponds and moat, a Deserted Medieval Village and a Roman Site, regarded as one of the most important in the Midlands outside Wroxeter.

Julie Peacock Page 16 Dilwynner - April 2015 It’s not by Magic … Dilw r ynne It’s not by magic that your Dilwynner parish magazine arrives through your letter box but it is due to a team of volunteers who donate some of their spare time to produce and distribute the magazine. We are looking again for community spirited volunteers to help in several areas. Editors Having recently lost one of our editorial team, we are looking for additional editors to help produce a few editions each year. Full training will be given together with ongoing support from the editorial team. The software used only runs under MS Windows. This is also an opportunity to learn new skills, particularly in the area of Desktop publishing. See page 2 for Dilwynner contact details. Printer We print the Dilwynner in-house at the moment and are looking for a volunteer to assist Peter Hammond in producing occasional print runs. Interested parties can ring Peter directly on 01544 388721 and he will explain the requirements and procedures. The print run now takes about 4 hours and as such is not an onerous task for anyone to take on occasionally. A Windows PC is required together with temporary space for the printer and paper. Distributors We would also appreciate help in distributing the magazine to each parish household. It just takes up a little time each month. If you can help then please use our contact details on page 2 to get in touch. Contributors We are constantly trying to improve the Dilwynner by increasing the variety of its articles. If you have any interesting items to submit then we would be most grateful to receive them. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who support the Dilwynner, - the Parish Council, the Dilwyn show committee, our loyal advertisers, contributors and you, our readers. The team hopes that the magazine we produce justifies this high level of support, if we occasionally get things wrong, then it is certainly not through the want of trying! Broadband Update Any Old Bras Latest: Weobley exchange area is progressing well with engineering work being complete on 50% of the 'Fibre to the Cabinet' areas. We have to do a significant amount of overhead cabling in this area. We are due to carry out surveying of the overhead routes to identify any additional works required, such as tree cutting or new poles to carry the load of extra cables. Estimated completion is end of June. Ladies, do you have any old or unwanted bras to donate to charity ? The proprietors of 'An Uplifting Experience', a bra fitting service, are appealing for donations towards "Against Breast Cancer", so please have a look in your undies drawer and if you are able to help, please drop you gift into Dot Teather at The Bramlings or ring me (388744) and I will collect. Thank you. Pat Isaacs Page 17 Dilwynner - April 2015 Heating Oil Syndicate February order was excellent with a record of just over 22000 litres, not quite matching the 30000 litres we did in the early days of the syndicate, but not far off. The delivery company was yet again OJ Williams at a price of 35.7p per litre. I feel they were trying very hard for business and were keeping it very low for syndicate buyers. Other companies just could not compete. This month though they have put their prices up considerably. So it looks like we will be using someone else. Other prices were Watson 35.9p, Beacon 37.5p, and Callow 35.8p. Thank you everyone again for your orders. We are in a way in the driving seat which allows us to ask for a very good discount price. Just to let you know the procedure of the syndicate buying. Fact : the more orders and amount we have the better the negotiating power. There is no administration charge unlike other syndicates. I do it voluntarily to enable the price to be low for the members of this community. Some syndicates can add as much as 3p per litre or even more to cover admin costs. That is why my work is complete once the order is made and it is then left to you to attend to the finances. While writing this, I can say at the moment the price is 37p from OJ Williams but another company is quoting 34.7p. Thank you all again, old and new, for your support. Minimum order 500 litres please by 20th of month Peter Stilwell e-mail [email protected] mobile 07774112077 landline 01544318528 or drop order in to my letterbox & Finish CARPENTER • DECORATOR • HANDYMAN - All types undertaken - Internal & External - No Job Too Small Email: Page 18 Dilwynner - April 2015 Job advert for airy D ottage C Furniture Clerk to governors The Governing Body of St Mary's CE primary school in Dilwyn seeks an organised and efficient Clerk to governors.

April Origins The Romans gave this month the Latin name Aprilis but the derivation of this name is uncertain. The traditional source is from the verb aperire, "to open", in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open". Since some of the Roman months were named in honour of divinities, and as April was sacred to the goddess Venus, her festival being held on the first day, it has been suggested that Aprilis was originally her month Aphrilis, from her equivalent Greek goddess name Aphrodite (Aphros), or from the Etruscan name Apru.

Editors Parish May Elections Most people will be aware that the General Election is to be held on Thursday 7 May 2015. However, there will also be elections for Town/Parish Councils including Dilwyn. All existing councillors must seek re-election if they wish to remain as a Councillor. With regard to Town/Parish Councils anyone can stand as a Councillor if they are at least 18 years old, they are a British citizen, an eligible Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of any other member state of the European Union. In addition candidates must meet at least one of the following qualifications: ● You are, and will continue to be, registered as a local government elector for the parish/community in which you wish to stand ● You have occupied as owner or tenant any land or other premises in the parish/community during the whole 12 months before the day of your nomination and the day of election ● Your main or only place of work during the 12 months prior to the day of nomination and the day of election has been in the parish/community ● You have lived in the parish/community or within 3 miles of it during the whole 12 months before the day of nomination and the day of election If you are interested and would be comfortable in speaking at Council meetings that are open to the public and have the time to attend meetings and support the work of your local Town/Parish Council then why not put yourself forward. You only need 2 local people to support your nomination. It really is as simple as that. If there are more candidates than vacancies, then an election will be held on the same day as the General Election and the Herefordshire Council Election. If there are less candidates than there are vacancies you would be elected unopposed. You will find guidance about becoming a councillor on the Electoral Commission website and the Clerk to your local Town/Parish Council can provide you with the appropriate nomination paper. Alternatively you can contact the Elections Office at Herefordshire Council on 01432 260107. Electoral Services Office http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/ https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/ Page 27 Dilwynner - April 2015 Your vote matters make sure you're in. The way you register to vote has changed. Up until now, the head of a household has been responsible for registering everyone who lives at an address. However, since June 2014 people in England and Wales have needed to register as individuals. In August 2014 we were able to move 86% of those registered voters in Herefordshire onto the new register automatically after checking their details with the Department for Work and Pensions. But for various reasons the remaining 14% of electors on the register did not match and all now have to re-register to vote ahead of the General Election on May 7th 2015. If you are one of those whose details did not match the information held by the Department for Work and Pensions then you would have received a letter from the Elections Office at Herefordshire Council asking you to register individually. If you have received a letter asking you to register individually this means that you will need to re-register in order to be able to vote by post in the May election. If you have recently moved, you must register to vote at your new address. You are not registered at a new property automatically, even if you pay council tax. The simplest way to register is online at: www.gov.uk/register-to-vote or to call 01432 260107. Martin Thomas Bridal & Bespoke Dressmaking. Any Alterations, From Trousers to Curtains.

The restoration of 1867 was quite considerable and undertaken with the superintendence of G. C. Haddon, Esq., architect, of Hereford and Malvern. The total cost of this work was then about £2,500 and raised chiefly through the exertions of the Rev. Dr. Heather. The installation of the John Nicholson organ was completed in 1871. A quantity of oak removed from the church during the 1867 restoration, now panels the passage of the Crown Inn. Other parts form the wood work of two cottage porches next to the old shop. In 1875 the tower was restored, and the bells re-hung, at a cost of £250. The exterior of the chancel, and the south side of the church were also restored in 1882. In 1904 the organ was restored at a cost of £300. A clock was placed in the tower in 1887 to commemorate the Queen Victoria's jubilee. The funds were raised by subscription. The war memorial was errected near the entrance gate in 1922. Also in 1922 the new burial ground was established opposite the east end of the church and from 1923 all new internments took place in this ground. The new burial site was where the old Tythe Barn once stood. Inside the church, electric light replaced the old oil lamps in 1935. In 1943 the iron gates at the front of the porch were requisitioned by the then Ministry of Works for the war effort. The The 1867 restoration included: hinge brackets for these gates can be still seen at the front of the porch. The spire was restored ● The opening out of the chancel and aisle roofs in 1953.

The competition requires competitors to lay, pleach and dress a hedge. This is a dying traditional countryside skill and it was great to have 7 of our 8 competitors learning this skill for the first time. By mid February it was our time to shine and get back on stage after a 6 year break from competing in the Herefordshire YFC pantomime competition. We all had a great time performing on Sunday 15th at Weobley High School and on Tuesday 17th as part of the HFYFC Panto Festival at Bishops High School. Dexter the Shetland and all at Dilwyn YFC would like to thank everyone for their support towards our panto Robin Hood. We were overwhelmed at how many people came to support us at Weobley, and it was fantastic to see so many people from the village there too. We hope we provided you with a great afternoon of entertainment- we certainly enjoyed ourselves! As a result of everyone's generosity on our delicious cake stall we are proud to be donating £180 to the Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group. Unfortunately we missed out on a place in the final at the HFYFC panto festival, however we were ecstatic to have several nominations for best actors and actresses. Jack Hanson and Ed Turner were nominated for best under 26 actors and Emily Horne and Rosie Williams were nominated for best under 16 performance. On the finals night we were proud to be awarded the trophy for Best Production Team and for Beth Hanson to be awarded with the Page 32 Dilwynner - April 2015 trophy for the Best Under 26 Actress A huge thanks must go to Lyndsay Rogers, Oliver Whittal and Alan Powell for their huge commitment to producing our pantomime. We hope to be back on stage again next year with an even bigger and better performance! In the meantime we will be trying to get Dexter a bit more house trained so he doesn't poo in the Bishops High School Canteen again after his performance!! On 1st March we had four teams from Dilwyn representing Herefordshire competing in the West Midland Area Public Speaking Competition in Stafford. Dilwyn had a hugely successful day winning both the Junior Reading and Junior Public Speaking Competition and coming 2nd in Intermediate Brainstrust. The Junior Reading team consisting of Emily Horne, Olivia Lewis and Zoe Powell are now through to the National Reading Competition in June, whilst The Junior Public Speakers and Brainstrust team go on to compete at the South National Regional Final in Weston Super Mare. Aside from competitions we've had some great fun over the past few weeks. On the 11th March we visited Mark Hurds County Butchers in Weobley where he kindly demonstrated his fantastic butchery skills and inspired several of our members. Mark cut up the lamb which was very generously donated to the club by John Hanson and family. After the demonstration we auctioned off the joints of lamb and raised £200 which is being donated to the West Midlands Air Ambulance.

Annual Draw took place at the Crown Inn on 24th February 2015. £1,082 of tickets were sold for the event and after all costs £952 is now reserved to purpose. I would like to express my thanks to Pamela Taylor, Debra Wright, Gill Thomas and everyone else who donated their time and energy to organise the event. It is not our policy to hold onto excessive reserves of funds and when significant funds above and beyond the ongoing requirements of our ordinary activities are accrued we make donations on a one-off basis. If anyone comes across a suitable cause/institution/effort that would materially benefit from a substantial contribution like the previous ones we have made, please notify a Committee member for inclusion for consideration at the next A.G.M.. Harvey Beach, Assistant Treasurer The British Legion committee would like to thank all those who supported the annual Draw - for donating prizes, selling and buying draw tickets and coming along on the evening of the Draw at The Crown. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening with lots of laughter and good humour. As you know we collect prizes in December. Prizes are then allocated to the Whist Drive and then all remaining prizes are kept for the Grand Draw in February. The first prize is always donated by the British Legion. The Draw is always a very successful fundraiser and this together with the Whist Drive are the only fund raisers in the year for the British Legion. Thank you all once again. 2014 Poppy Appeal Once again, you, together with the Parishes of Eardisland and Monkland joined together to raise a total of £1983 for the 2014 Poppy Appeal. This was slightly down on the record total £2200 raised in 2012 but Members of Dilwyn R.B.L. wish to thank everyone who gave so generously to the Poppy Appeal. Thanks also to Dawn Hussey our P.O.A. and all collectors who continue to call at every household, sometimes more than once, in all kinds of weather. Edward A.
