The congregation of St Michael's church is also beginning a new chapter. Congratulations on fifty good years of ministry. What opportunities for ministry will the next fifty years hold? We look forward to many further years of ecumenical fellowship with them and with our friends at the Methodist church. I always like to read a chapter of a good novel in the evening just to change my thought processes from work to rest. Sometimes though, when I've just read a superb chapter, it's hard to stop. The temptation is to stay up later, than is good for me, just to see what the next chapter will bring. What turns and twists and developments of the story will happen in this new chapter? It's something to anticipate and to look forward to. What joys and sorrows will the story hold and how will the characters cope with them? Sometimes I am even tempted to peep at the last chapter just to see how things turn out in the end. The village itself is changing with the building of forty new retirement flats, new houses and perhaps the development of the harbour. Each change calls for some sort of response and adaption as the new chapter begins. It is with all this, in mind, that I am thankful to the writer of my favourite hymn. 'God is working his purpose out.' It reminds us that each new chapter of life is overseen by a God who loves us and watches over us; and who will in the end make all things well. I don't need to peep at the last chapter in this case, as this, and every season of Easter, reminds me of the promise of forgiveness, renewal, rebirth and eternal life. And so we can continue to look forward to the future with both anticipation and excitement. I guess that's a bit like life in Bembridge at the moment. At this time we, at Holy Trinity, are looking forward to an exciting new chapter of Parish life. Having written a really good chapter alongside Andrew, we should now be looking to the future with eager anticipation. I wonder what exciting twists and turns are in store for us. The vacancy has been a time when we have continued to grow both spiritually and in fellowship as we have all pulled together to keep the variety and richness of Parish life thriving.

Sally Davies / Sheila Low 4 BEMBRIDGE WINDMILL WI At the February meeting Mark Earp entertained the members of Bembridge Windmill WI with tales of Eccentric Women of the Wight. All the stories were factual but may have received some embellishment over the years. The first story concerned Lucy Lightfoot left Gatcombe to follow her amour to the Holy Lands. She reached Cyprus, missed her returning amour and did not come back. Nevertheless some have reported feeling her spirit in the church at Gatcombe. There was an Isle of Wight woman swindler and a highwayman. Some women followed men into battle and a family of sisters smuggled rum in their bustles. The names of Lily Langtry and Rosa Lewis, owner of the Carlton Hotel in London, were both linked with royalty. Elizabeth Blount, poet and song writer, was a founder of the Flat Earth Society and Dorothy O’Grady, the Spy by the Sea in the 1940s, were included in the tales of eccentric women. This is just a taste of a really fascinating evening, filled with numerous stories that highlighted the many and various ‘eccentric’ and influential women that had at sometime in their lives been resident on or associated with the Isle of Wight. Also in February a small group were taken on a tour of the Apollo Theatre in Newport. Michael regaled the group with humorous stories of the history of the theatre as he led the way through the rabbit-warren-like building. The tour culminated with continued page 7 6 continued from page 5 a demonstration of the actors work based on a script of some 16 lines for two players. By keeping the words the same, but changing the stance and demeanour Michael showed how the meaning of a simple story could be turned around by an actor. “Excellent morning” was the general consensus! The April meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Monday 20 April at The Cloisters The speaker will be Angela Hewitt of Naturezones, Isle of Wight. Visitors are always welcome, contact Sarah Atkins 873873 for more information, or just come along. Sherbourne Street 1890’s The picture of Sherbourne Street dates from the 1890s and shows a coal man delivering bags of coal to the family in the cottage with the ivy on the front of the house. At this time the village had three coal merchants, Prestons, Jordans and Orchards. Coal stocks were kept at the railway station having been brought in by sea from Newcastle by the ship “Allerwash” and unloaded by men with shovels. Sherbourne Street 1890’s century, from a private house to the Chinese business that is there now. In the past it has been an Antique shop run by a Jesse Fulljames and restaurants, The Square Rigger, Net, Fultons, China China and now Lu Shan – have I missed any? The old cottage is long gone, it was derelict when I was a boy in the 1940s. It is now the estate agency of Hose, Rhodes and Dickson.

Falls are very common; about 30% of over-65s and 50% of those over 80 suffer from a fall every year across the UK. These occur for a whole range of reasons, and it is important to identify these and to see what can be done to help prevent them from occurring. In this way older people can remain as independent as possible and avoid spells in hospital. Our Coordinator is able to offer support for these people, relatives and carers, both at the surgery or on home visits and, where necessary determine the most suitable and appropriate treatment for the patient. This addition to the Practice will be a great source of support for people in the community. If you would like to learn more, please call the on the Practice, telephone number 01983 871828 Patients are not always aware of the range of services or clinics that St Helens Medical Practice can provide. If you would like more information, visit the website www.sthelensmedicalcentre.com or call or visit the Surgery. Finally, we are delighted to welcome Dr Mandy Briggs who joined the partnership on 2nd March. She will be looking after Dr Groves’ patients and is available on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Organised by volunteers including Glynis Cunliffe, Chris Brennan, Chris and Nick Thornton, and Marion and David Perchard, the sale offered nearly new and good-condition books generously donated by library users and well wishers. Lead volunteer Chris Brennan said that the library has an extensive range of books for sale and users are always welcome to browse and buy. "Proceeds from book sales are a valuable source of income," said Chris. "We're now looking forward to organising our next event, our Easter Coffee Morning, to be held on Saturday 4 April at the library where apart from teas and coffees we will be offering live music, a cake stall, a bring and buy sale and a Tombola." 20 Bembridge RNLI Lifeboat News February Lifeboat action: The only call to action occurred on the morning of the 9th February, when the inshore lifeboat was requested to assist in the search for a man missing on Culver Cliff. After the man was found on the edge of the cliff, the lifeboat was requested to stand by, monitoring the situation for an hour and a half Crowds watch a demonstration whilst the situation was dealt with. launch of the all-weather lifeboat The lifeboat returned to station ‘Alfred Albert Williams’ in 2014 but was placed on a five-minute standby, should it be required. Thankfully, the situation was resolved and the man taken to safety and transferred to St Mary’s hospital. Bembridge RNLI Lifeboat Guild Annual General Meeting: Despite a smaller than usual number attending the AGM, there was an upbeat message as Guild members were informed that it had been a successful year for the Guild and the Bembridge lifeboat. Membership of the Guild continues to grow and during the past year a number of Guild members had been recognised and awarded by the RNLI for their service in supporting the lifeboats. The RNLI souvenir shop also had a successful year in terms of sales, being placed 22nd out of a table of 584 shops and branches nationally. The station is now well-established and growing as a tourist attraction with a total of around 50,000 visitors to the boathouse over the past year. In addition to that were 1,123 children and 203 adults in organised educational visit groups. The station enjoyed good reviews on TripAdvisor, the on-line review site, with 132 reviews, out of which 101 were described as ‘excellent’. Warners Bembridge Coast Hotel continues to support the lifeboat with the weekly raffles and tour groups to the station with approximately £10,000 having been raised over the last year. Sybil Snelling, after many years, retired as President of the Guild and took the post of Vice-President. John Margetson was unanimously elected as President. continued page 25 22 continued from page 24 The evening was concluded by the lifeboat coxswain, Steve Simmonds, giving an informative and entertaining account of the lifeboat action over the past year. Opening times for April: The offshore boathouse and RNLI souvenir shop will be open from 11am to 4pm from 1st to the 12th April (through the Easter holiday period) and from 2pm to 4pm for the remainder of the month.

This was going to be an AGM with a difference. There was a room full of interesting craft material and a lady eager to start us off being creative. The initial business of the evening went smoothly, minutes read and signed, financial report, correspondence and supper club. Ann brought us up to date with the Federation news, then we were ready to start. Joy Cleightonhills explained about her 1,000+ project and we all set to work creating the most amazing art work using wooden triangles and a wide variety of colours, textures and shiny bits and pieces. There was a lot of fun and laughter and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Once we had cleaned up our sticky fingers and had a welcome cup of coffee we returned to the business of the AGM. Phil our chairman gave a report on the previous year’s activities and Diane gave us a very clear yearly financial report. The competition winner for the whole year was Verena Sparrow and the best bloom winner was Gill Chubb. Then 10 year badges were presented to Val Pollard, Annette Halls and Dot Harrison. At the end of the evening, it was agreed a great way to organise the AGM. Phil concluded the evening with a reminder that next month we would be learning about the eccentric women of the Isle of Wight. The Guild meets on the first Tuesday of every month in the Methodist Church Hall at 7-30pm. Any lady wishing to join us would be made most welcome. Dot Harrison – Press Secretary tel: 872992 Ivy Sykes The family of Ivy Sykes would like to thank all those who attended her funeral on 27th February 2015, and who sent kind messages of sympathy. Ivy lived in Bembridge for 27 years and loved being part of village life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Debbie Mabbutt & Colin Woolley. 28 Meetings: www.bembridgeblooms.org.uk Friday January 2nd at 7:15pm – A talk on Orchids Friday January 30th at 7:15pm – A demonstration by Rob Mew You will remember that our Chairman, Henry Harris, died in August. Very sadly, his wife Doreen, our Show Secretary, died in November. Doreen and Henry worked very hard as a team for many years to ensure the smooth running of the Horticultural Society, and rarely missed a Friday meeting. As Show Secretary, Doreen was responsible for organising the two shows in June and August. This involved a lot of hard work behind the scenes, but they were always the highlight of the Society’s year. Doreen herself was a keen exhibitor, winning many cups and certificates for flowers, veg, floral arrangements and cookery. In 2009, our Centenary year, she was reported in the County Press as being “pleased as punch” at winning trophies for her roses. So we have happy memories of both Doreen and Henry, but at the start of a new year with new members on the committee, it would be good to see some new faces at our meetings too, so please come along and support the Society. It has been running since 1909 and at the moment we meet fortnightly at 7.15 on a Friday evening for just over an hour. We have a speaker, “Best Bloom” competition, raffle and tea & biscuits. It’s all very reasonably priced and we offer a warm welcome. ThingstodoinJanuary 1) Plant new trees. The dormant season – from November to March – is the traditional time to plant trees, and in fact the only time to plant bare‐root trees. Most fruit trees and many roses are produced this way – and they’re much cheaper than those sold in a container. 2) Prune apple and pear trees. Again, the dormant season is the right time for this. Remove dead, diseased or damaged branches, keep the tree centre open and, as a general rule of thumb, cut back the previous year’s growth by about a third. 3) Protect citrus plants. As they’re not frost‐hardy, they need to be brought under cover, but don’t keep them indoors as they dislike changes of temperature and humidity. Keep them in a cool, well‐ventilated greenhouse or porch. Water well but only occasionally when the soil starts to dry out. 29
