Mary Arnold who lives 
at Longford, has been a keen 
knitter and crocheter almost 
all her life. Self-taught many 
years ago, she has put all her 
skills to great use for the good 
of many. Her latest project is 
a double bed size Ôcrocheted 
throwÕ in a range of vibrant 
colours. It is a masterpiece! 
It has taken her six weeks 
from start to finish and it is 
being raffled at the end of July 
in the hope of raising at least 
£100 for Cancer Research and MacMillan Nurses. 
ÒI took up crochet work again 
on doctorÕs orders for my physical 
therapy and rather than make items 
for no reason, it seemed logical to 
make and create for local charities 
close to my heart, especially since we 
all know close-ones and family who 
have died from cancer.Ó 
Mary hopes to have the Throw on 
display in Nailsworth for people to 
view and buy a raffle ticket, but you 
can phone and view at her home. 
Raffle tickets are £1 per strip.

Exciting plans are afoot for 
Wild Garlic ... 

Matthew and Hannah Beardshall have 
been busy at Wild Garlic Restaurant & 
Rooms in NailsworthÕs Cossack Square fornearly nine years now. 

Certainly not the sort to Òrest on theirlaurelsÓ they re-launched last week as ÔWild 
Garlic Bistro and RoomsÕ. 

Inspiration for the new menu at Wild 
Garlic Bistro came from sitting in thesunshine in Cossack Square and wanting tooffer a more relaxed style of dining. 

MatthewÕs new menu features plenty oftasty Ôsmall platesÕ to share (inspired by thepopular Tapas menus served over the lastfew years), tasty salads, mouth-wateringsteaks and delicious house made pastadishes, to mention just a few. 

With three young children of their own,
there is also a lovely childrenÕs menu, 
serving what Hannah describes as ÔproperfoodÕ that they are sure children will enjoy. 

Matthew says, ÒWe are really gratefulto all our customers who have chosen to 
support a local family business. We are 
looking forward to this next stage of ourjourney in beautiful Nailsworth. Keep an

eye out for more news later in the year: ourtasting menus might have stopped for a short while, butthey will be back and hopefully in a brand new venue ...Õ

New Clerk 

Back in December we employed our new clerk, Katherine 
Kearns. IÕm delighted to say that 6 months later, she has 
been confirmed in the post. We have had the help of alocum clerk for 6 weeks and together he and Katherine havebeen working on the Finances, reviewing other systemsand reviewing the staffing. Thanks to changes over the lastdecade or so, and in particular the Localism Act, councils 
such as ours have an increasing responsibility and workload.
We are looking at how other similar sized councils haveresponded to these changes and a recommendation will bemade to Council shortly.

Although you are all probably exhausted by the word

Nailsworth has the opportunity to vote agreement for aground breaking Community Land Trust development. There 
is more information elsewhere in this issue, but I hope thatas many of you as possible will vote ÔYesÕ on 18th Augustso that the CLT can go ahead and build affordable homes for 
rent to be owned by the town forever.

Lastly, I was honoured to be a guest on board The

Emma Butterworth 
Our own Emma Butterworth, from Rockness, is 
taking part in a huge challenge over the weekendof 9/10 July as she and a crew of 7 novice rowerstackle the English Channel for charity. 23 miles 
of the busiest shipping lane in the world will becrossed in (she hopes) around 5 hours in orderto raise £12,000 for the AHOY Centre which 
focuses on giving opportunities to disadvantaged,
disabled and at-risk youths. 
Emma says, ÒThe opportunity to take part wasadvertised at work, and I have a naive tendencyto say ÔyesÕ to almost everything. However, I 
did not realise I was also signing up for handsdisgustingly covered in blisters and legs thatstruggle to walk up the stairs for weeks. 
We have had to learn how to row from scratch. 
With only 4 Ôon-water sessionsÕ so far, it seems 
we really have launched ourselves head firstinto the deep end. We are now in training all the time and 
although the Thames is not quite the English Channel, with 
the swell and waves down near Canary Wharf, it is the next 
best thing! 
Being able to combine my love of sport with a cause thatÕs 
helping those less fortunate than myself is really motivating,
rewarding and the major part of the challenge. 
Any support, whether it is words of encouragement,
donations or corporate sponsorship are all incrediblyimportant and very appreciatively received. I have beenamazed and so grateful to the generosity of others up to this 
point. I even had a tweet from our local rowing championand inspiration Pete Reed!Ó 
For more information on the AHOY Centre, visit 
www.ahoy.org.uk 
or contact Emma: e.butterworth@hotmail.com 
If you would like to support Emma and find out more,
please visit: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/The-AHOY-
Centre-Charity-The-AHOY24 
We hope to report in a later NN of EmmaÕs progress and 
success with a picture or two of her navigating icebergs and 
the occasional whale off Beachy Head!

Jonathan Duckworth 
The New Mayor of Nailsworth 
We at Nailsworth News wish to 
congratulate our long standing team member, 
Jonathan Duckworth, on becoming theMayor of Nailsworth. Jonathan has workedwith Nailsworth News since the early daysof the paper, and he provides our email and 
website facilities as well as technical advice 
and training on our desktop publishingsoftware. Jonathan makes a valuable 
contribution to our discussions. 
Some of our readers may be asking ifNailsworth News is being taken over bythe Town Council? Well the answer is 
emphatically No! 
The Committee that runs NN has looked 
very carefully at potential conflicts of interestin retaining Jonathan on the team. We were 
naturally keen to keep such a knowledgeableand respected team member withoutcompromising our constitution. 
Jonathan has been a Councillor for a 
number of years, as well as being DeputyMayor in the past, and he has always formallyand properly recognised and declared his rolewithin the Town Council. 
We therefore agreed that Jonathan should 
continue to carry out his valuable work forNN and we are thankful for his invaluable 
time. 
To put it simply, when Jonathan is working 
with NN he will not be wearing the MayorÕs 
hat and chain of office, but will continue 
to participate as every other member of the 
team.

Improvements toour Rural Bus Services 
Cotswold Green buses will be replacedwith a community bus service providedby Community Connexions, a charitywith over 35 yearsÕ experience in 
providing accessible transport solutionsand independence for people living inisolated areas. They operate similar 
services all over Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds which have provedvery popular. 
Enjoy a door-to-door service on a mini-bus with regular drivers who 
pick you up from home and even help you with your shopping on your 
return. 
ÒWe very much appreciate the service you provide. As an 80 year 
old I couldnÕt manage my shopping without the mini-bus and our driver is 
always cheerful and very helpful.Ó 
ÒI am more than pleased with it - I rely on this service. I use it everyweek and I canÕt drive, so without this I donÕt know what IÕd do. Many 
thanks,Ó . . . are just a couple of comments received. 
Passengers not only love the convenience but also the social side ofthings. Getting together to travel in groups on a regular basis has foundedmany new friendships. 
Plans are for a run into Nailsworth from outlying areas on a Tuesday 
with the bonus of a similar service into Stroud on a Thursday. 
Journeys are bookable on an ad hoc basis or a regular weekly booking.
Bus passes and concessions are accepted. 
The changes which are due to happen on 16th August cover areas 
including Shortwood, Newmarket, Woodchester, Amberley and 
Nympsfield. Full details, when available, will be posted on the Town 
CouncilÕs website and in the local press. 
Community Connexions can also arrange individual journeys in carswith volunteer drivers. Although there is a charge it can be kept to a 
minimum by linking with Stagecoach buses. For instance, if you wantedto go to Gloucester, you could book a car from home to meet the 63 from 
Nailsworth and arrange for a driver to pick you up on your return. 
ItÕs hoped that this new venture will be well used as we know what 
happens if it isnÕt . . . Use It or Lose It!

our local community who were also making their First Holy 

Beaudesert Park. The performing arts have

enjoyed an especially high profile at Beaudesert this 

term. One of the pupils has even helped make history bysuccessfully becoming one of the 20 founding girl choristersat Gloucester Cathedral. Twenty or so pupils had much funand success taking part in the annual Cheltenham Festivalof Performing Arts in May, and pupils taking LAMDA (theLondon Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) exams haveachieved the schoolÕs best ever results with 78% achievingdistinction! But for entertainment value, little could top the

impromptu appearance of Tweedy Ð the famous clownfrom Giffords Circus - one day during school assembly. 

Children of all ages also enjoyed welcoming anothervisitor in the form of the popular ÔLife BusÕ Ð a real life 
bus which has been transformed into a mobile classroom 
and travels to different schools. Through innovative,
funny and age-appropriate sessions, specially trainedteachers help children develop the knowledge, skills and

confidence they need to make their own positive choices

about their health (both physical and emotional). 
Elsewhere, inspired by the glorious surroundingcountryside, Year 3 children spent a science lessonstudying seed dispersal and went out onto the Commonto look at various plants and, in particular, dandelion 
clocks. Still on the theme of enjoying the great outdoors,
every single Prep school pupil (Years 3 Ð 8) representedBeaudesert in at least 

one sporting fixture

during the springschool term. ThatÕs 
292 competitors and

265 fixtures in the 

space of one term; a 
true testament to the 
schoolÕs ÔSport forAllÕ philosophy. 


Horsley Primary School 

With the end of the summer term almost insight our year six children (aged 10 - 11) will soon be leaving us and startingsecondary school in September. To mark this special occasion all fourteen children (10 boys and 4 girls) accompanied bytheir class teacher, teaching assistant and Headteacher, attended the traditional LeaversÕ Service held by Gloucester Dioceseat Gloucester Cathedral. 

This special event gives the children the opportunity to feel part of a wider group by coming together with children from

all church schools in the diocese who will be starting their secondary education later this year. The service reflected on their 

time in primary school and looked ahead to their future school life. 
The children had a cake sale in school 
and the money raised was donated to thePeace and Hope Trust collection. Whilst in 
Gloucester the children also enjoyed a visitto the Climbing Centre and a tour of thecathedral and stone masonsÕ yard. 
At the end of this term we will also be 
saying goodbye to David Williams, our 
interim Headteacher, who has been at the 

helm since January whilst a new permanent

head was being recruited.

aking up after12pm for sixweeks is a treat everystudent enjoys when itcomes to the summer; itÕs 
practically a God send.
However, after many 
years of completing thistwo month slumber, I 
have come to realise that 
perhaps the Great British


Summer is worth a little more. 

I remember in my primary school days, playinggames in the ÔsunÕ and adventuring in the beautiful 
countryside of the Five Valleys. As my descent into 
teenage life develops, my enthusiasm for leaving mycave (formerly known as a bedroom) appears to havedeteriorated. 

After my rather terrifying realisation of this, Ifound myself, amongst thousands of other 15 - 17year olds signing up to complete Nation CitizenService (NCS) this summer. 

NCS is a once in a lifetime opportunity offered 
to all teenagers in order to Òembark on exhilaratingchallenges, make your mark and build skills forwork and life.Ó The four week challenge provides the 
chance to meet new people and make new friends aswell as discovering new things about yourself andothers that may surprise you. 

Not only is the NCS free except for a small feeof £50, but is also a way of giving back to thecommunity in a project of your teamÕs choice. 

So, to all those whoÕs plans involve binge-

watching television series and excessively sleeping,
I highly recommend giving it a go! Of course if thisisnÕt for you then there are many other things to 
occupy teens this summer!

Nailsworth to make history - vote on 18th August 
On August 18th you will have an opportunity to make history by voting in a 
Town-wide referendum. The referendum will be on whether 10 new affordable 
homes should be built near Lawnside. The homes will be owned by the 
Nailsworth Community Land Trust (CLT), which is made up of local people 
supported by the Town Council. 
Your vote is needed 
The question on the ballot paper will be whether youagree to a CRTBO - a Community 
Right to Build Order - effectively 
planning permission decided bythe community. CRTBOs were 
introduced by the Localism Act 2011 
to enable communities to proposecommunity-led developments. 
Homes to be owned by the townforever 
The CLT feel it is important to keep the homes 
for the benefit of the town. 
So the referendum proposes that 
both the Right to Buy and the 
Right to Acquire be 
removed. This will mean that the 
homes cannot be sold off and will 
stay in town ownership for ever. The homes 
will initially be offered to those on the 
Stroud Housing List with Nailsworth connections. 
This has all come from a Town Council Housing Needs Survey carried out in 2013, 
which highlighted 52 households in need of affordable housing. There are no 
SDC plans for additional affordable housing in Nailsworth so community action is 
required! 
The proposed developmentSDC has offered the CLT the garage site by lower Lawnside. Aster Homes (a housing 
association) and gcp Architects have worked with the CLT to draw up a proposal. 
This is for 10 affordable homes: 6 x one bedroom, 2 person maisonette flats, and 4 x two bedroom, 4 person houses. There 
will be 15 car parking spaces. The 
proposed houses and flats are designedsimply with tiled pitched roofs, matchingthe form of existing buildings onLawnside and Fieldways. 
Make Nailsworth make historyMost CLTs are in rural areas 
so NailsworthÕs urban CLT is 
groundbreaking. Please vote on 18thAugust for this innovative developmentof affordable homes for Nailsworth.

St. GeorgeÕs and Christ Church 
Dear friends, 
I have just returned from 
a holiday in the USA during 
which we visited a number 
of the canyons, including the 
beautiful Bryce Canyon and also 
the Grand Canyon. It is hard 
to put into words how amazing 
they are. 
On our visit to the Grand 
Canyon we walked a trail that 
gave the geological history of all 
the different layers. We learned 
that it had taken 30 million 
years to carve out the canyon 
and that it was still being carved 
out by a depth of the thickness 
of one piece of paper each year. 
We also learned that there was 
1.2 million years of history in 
the rocks that was completely 
missing due to erosion. 
The scale of the place, together with the age of some of the rocks 
we were looking at made me feel incredibly small and the span of 
my years on earth seemed completely inconsequential. 
And yet, at the same time, I was reminded about GodÕs words 
in the bible, about knowing the number of hairs on our heads, 
knowing us by name and holding each of us in the palm of his 
hand. 
So, as I stood looking at so much history in rock, I also felt how 
wonderful it is to be loved by God Ð how precious we are in his 
sight, each and every one of us. 
It is that knowledge and 
promise that can sustain us 
when things get tough or 
we feel as though no-one 
really cares. If you need to 
be reminded of that, just 
pop along to St. GeorgeÕs or 
Christ Church and seek out 
GodÕs company and he will 
reassure you of his love for 
you. 
Every blessing - Mike and 
Helene.

Paul Chadwick writes of Heroes 

First of all I should explain I was a strangerto your area on my way to the south coast onSaturday 21st May. 

Tetbury was the point on my journey from 
where I could get on to the A429 and A350 for 
hopefully a straight run to the coast. 

I approached Nailsworth (from Stroud) andsaw a sign to Tetbury, showing a LH turn. I 
followed this road, a winding and steep road(which I thought was dangerous), and reachedthe top. I carried on, seeing a 40mph speed limitin the middle of the road, and then felt a bump.
My car and I were deposited in a field. At no 
point had I seen any warning signs, or whitelines to denote cross roads, or give way signs. 

I should explain that my hearing is not toogood, and I am not too familiar with mobilephones. 

Within a few minutes a kind gentleman 
approached, asked if I was OK, and offered 
me a cup of tea. A young girl also approached 
to check on me, and very kindly lent me hermobile to contact the breakdown people. Ineeded their help on this to explain to therecovery people where exactly I was, as I foundit difficult to understand what was said, due to 
my hearing problems and poor reception. 

They were with me for half an hourapproximately, and the young lady would not 
take money offered for the use of the mobile. 

The recovery people had quoted about 90minutes for them to be on site, and in the 
meantime as I sat in my car, a number of kind 
passers by came to check on me. Another 
kind gentleman arrived on the scene in a large 
car at around the time the breakdown truck 
arrived. He assisted the breakdown mechanic 
and made it easier to get my car on to therecovery vehicle, and from there I was takento Gloucester Railway station. My 20 year oldRover was taken to the scrap yard to end itsdays. 

I did not receive any injuries in the incident,
I was just understandably a little shook up. Iwould just like to offer my thanks to all those 
kind people who came to my assistance (CupFinal day), and have come to the conclusionthat there are a number of heroes and stars in 
your community of whom you should be proud.

Thistledown Farm has been 
in the Kelly family for 22 years. These 
days, Richard runs the business with 
son Ryan and daughter Jess. 
Originally a dairy farm, it thencreated an elderflower plantationsupplying Bottle Green, but foundthat, although elderflower flourishesin the wild, it is not an easy crop tocultivate. 
Camping on the farm started nineyears ago and has proved remarkablysuccessful, now accommodating 15,000 people a year, including many repeat visitors. Many of its campers come into 
Nailsworth and take advantage of all that the town has to offer. 
Camping at Thistledown is also popular with locals, as once you are on the 
farm, itÕs like being in a different world. This certainly saves on travel time 
and holiday traffic jams. 
The Fieldfare CafŽ serves drinks and excellent coffee (this is the only 
campsite in the world with a la Marzocco coffee machine!) and wonderful 
homemade cakes and cream 
teas. The farm shop focuses on 
local produce. 
The kitchen is beingexpanded and there will soonbe pizza and slow-roastedmeals cooked in the wood-fired 
clay oven. It has an eventslicence and will be organising music, film, theatre and dance evenings in 
due course, but it has drawn the line at live wrestling. 
Work off your coffee and cake with a walk around five-or-so acres of the 
farm which is open to CafŽ customers. Dogs are welcome on a lead, so asnot to jeopardise the abundant wildlife. The CafŽ is open every day during 
school holidays. www.thistledown.org.uk

his summer witnesses the 100 Year Anniversary of the Nailsworth 
Guides - a major milestone in anyoneÕs books! 

The 1st Nailsworth Company was formed in 1915, but officially registeredon 26th June 1916 and it has been flourishing ever since. 

M
M
ildred Humpidge (County Sec.) wrote in April 1954: It was registered 
in 1916. The first Captain was Miss Phyllis Smythe, who is now Mrs

Tuft, the dentistÕs wife. 

The Company was going before 1916, I think, 
as my own Company, the 1st Rodborough, 

started in August 1914, and I should think it was 

the same time that we were all Ôroute-marchingÕ

when one day along the road from Woodchester, 

to our astonishment came a similar troop, also 

route-marching. 

We had no idea of each otherÕs existence É 

we soon became friends and had our first camp,

a weekend one, held in large empty house on 

Spring Hill, on the left going up, in extreme 

discomfort, when we were joined by Guides from 

Cheltenham and also Wotton-under-Edge. 

T
T
he Girl Guides sprung out of the BoyScouts movement started by Baden-
Powell. It was his wife, Olave, who felt it was unfair that boys should haveall the fun - why not girls too? She became the first Chief Guide leader andÔthe rest is historyÕ. 

1957

R

ight from the very start, the Nailsworth Guides were veryactive. The War Service Badge could be worked for - 
nursing, hospital help, first aid etc. making garments for theneedy and for the War effort, working for War Departments 
and on land projects. Doris Brinkworth was one of the firstNailsworth badge holders. 

T
T
he extensive hand-written records of weekend field trips andcamping events contain classic reading, and it appears littlehas changed! 

A 1925 report mentions for a certain camp nearby: 7 bell 
tents of which 5 were leaking, wash places, 4 lats, 2 dixies, 
4 herdalls, blankets, steel buckets, tin bowls, enamel bowls 
etc. Apart from a few basic amenities, guides and their junior 
counterparts deal with similar ÔhardshipsÕ on camp, though 
many more items are plastic!

The aims and objectivesof the Guides 100 yearsago have changed little sincethen - the activities mayhave been updated: activities 
about money, cooking, 
make-up and beauty nights,
Morse code nights arealways popular, hiking, the 
annual stream walk and of 
course the camping andBBQ weekends. 
Recently the girls hadan evening talk withreptiles and snakes - it wasfascinating and a chance tohandle snakes and an arrayof amphibians. 
All of these activities lead 
to a variety of Badges.
This year there are two tripssorted, one to Cadbury World to help complete the ÔChocolateÕbadge and later to Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour for theannual camping trip and more badges! 
Guides are encouraged to choose and plan their own activitieswhich can include themed evenings, doing an ÔinterestÕ badge oraÕGo for itÕ which are patrol based activities.

amps have changed very little over the years. ÔField MiceÕ
(camp patrol) of 8 August 1981 records: We were very lazy. We 
got up at 7.30. We had to be told to get up. We filled up the water 
containers we were Ôhealth patrol.Õ We came back to our tents for 
our diddy bags ready for breakfast of prorogue, billed eggs, bread 
and butter and a cuppa. 

We then washed up scrubbed all the bowls, kettles, billies etc. We 
then went back to our tent and everyone done their bedding rolls, 
took everything out of their haversacks, packed again neatly andoff to the day tent. We dryer the sod cloth and took out the brailing 
pegs É we sorted out the wood and got ready for our picnic dinner 
and gave out badges and presents. Sue had a massive present but 
it turned out to be tiny. We took our tents and went home. (GuideÕs 
own words and spelling)

he Promise of any Guide remains primarily as it was set up

100 years ago. TodayÕs version which takes in modern customs 
etc. is: ÒI promise that I will do my best, to be true to myself and develop my beliefs, to serve The 
Queen and my community, to help other people and to keep the Guide Laws.Ó 

The Guiding movement takes girls from Rainbows (5 years) to Senior Guides (14 - 25). If youare interested in joining or being a helper in any capacity please get in touch with Clare Wherret:

Woodchester Valley Vineyard Wines were recently tasted bymembers of the Nailsworth Society and Cotteswold Naturalist Field Club at 
Woodchester Valley Village. The tasting was presented by ÔWoodchester ValleyVineyardÕ have vineyards locatednear Nailsworth. Guests enjoyeda sparkling presentation by Salesand Marketing Manager Simon 
Taylor and vineyard owner FionaShiner along with a chance toask questions and sample somedelicious wines. 
Woodchester Valley Vineyardbegan with a trial acre in 2007 andharvesting for production started in2010. With 45 acres situated over 
three sites (Amberley, Woodchester 
and Doverow Hill in Stonehouse) there are 60,000 vinesrequiring careful hand pruning and harvesting. 
The vineyard produces quality still white, rosŽ andsparkling English wines which adhere to strict EuropeanPDO or PGI food standard guidelines. The wines can 
only be classified as English if the grapes are all grown onEnglish soil whereas British wine is made from importedgrapes or grape concentrate that is then made into wine inthe UK. 
The soaring popularity of English wines over the pastdecade has seen many more vineyards planted in Englandand Wales in recent years with 502 currently listed on theEnglish Wine Producers website. English wine is also competing favourablyagainst established foreign wines and winning international awards. In fact, ona recent blind-tasting in Paris, English sparkling wines scored better than theFrench Champagne equivalent! 
Asked about cork versus screw caps, the answer was simple: the pop of a corkis wonderful, but there is nothing wrong with screw caps; they provide the perfectseal and are impervious to cork taint. So there we have the definitive answer!

Nailsworth School 

On Friday 10th June, we held a tea party for Her Majesty, The 
Queen to celebrate her 90th Birthday. Rev. Mike led a service full of 
interesting facts about the Queen like she has owned over 30 Corgis 
during her reign and she doesnÕt even have a driving licence! 

We sang the National Anthem and then went outside for squash 
and cakes, which had been made by the children with help from Star 
Anise. During the tea party, the Drama Club and Young Voices Choir 
entertained us with songs and we paraded with our flags and crownsproudly around the playground. We would like to thank all the adults 
from St. GeorgeÕs and school who helped to organise everything. 
We loved it and canÕt wait for the QueenÕs next celebration. Happy 
Birthday Your Majesty!

The Magic Well and the Princess 

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess and hermother. One day, the princessÕs mother told her to get some waterfrom the well. So as the princess has been told to, she went to getsome water from the well. But the princess didnÕt know that THE 
WELL WAS MAGIC! 

She went to the place where she last saw it, but the princess

was feeling very surprised because the well had disappeared and 

a kitten appeared. Then the kitten spoke to her. She was very

surprised, but she listened to the kittenÕs instructions. ÒFollow 

meÓ, said the kitten. The kitten took her to ÉTHE RIVER! The 

sun was just setting. The well was by the river. The princess got

her bucket and filled it with magic water. Then she took the water 

and gave it to her mother. Her mother was thankful and then she 
put her princess to bed.

Changes To Our RecyclingServices will be rolled out. A new waste and 
recycling service will happen later this year. This 
will allow households to recycle their food wasteas well as items already placed in recycling binsand boxes. 
It is also moving over to a new waste contractor, 
part of this project included a review of recyclingsites across the district. 
The large banks at these sites allow residents torecycle cardboard, paper, plastics, glass, cans andtins Ð all of which can be recycled at home. 
With this in mind together with the relativelysmall amount of material collected through thissystem, it has been decided to remove most of thelarge banks from these sites and focus only onthe collection of textiles, shoes, media and small 
WEEE which cannot be recycled at home. 
All recycling sites will have these facilities. 
It will, however, maintain two of the largerbanks in two locations Ð one at Cainscross 
(Stroud) and the other in Cam (CPC car park) - as 
it is appreciated that they may be useful. 
It is noted that this may cause some residents alittle inconvenience. However it is hoped that thiswill be minimal as collection is already in placedirectly from residentÕs homes. 
The changes come into effect on 1st July andinformational signs have been placed at each of thesites. 
Horsley recycling centre is of course open forbusiness.

Christian Aid Walk - Twenty five people set off from Christ 
Church on Festival Saturday to walk to Christ Church, Tetbury in aid 
of Christian 
Aid. The 
Rev. Stuart 
Radford , the 
minister of 
Christ Church, 
Tetbury, 
who also 
worships atNailsworth 
organised this 
event and it 
raised a terrific 
amount. 
A Coffee Morning beforehand gave the dogs and 
some walkers, the latter aged from 7 - 81, a goodsend off. 
The forecast of rain kept away (just) for most of 
the route and an excellent Cream Tea greeted the 
walkers at the end of their 5.6 mile walk. It was all 
very much worth it and the camaraderie from the 
trek was as valuable as the sum raised! 
Rev. Stuart adds a personal message, ÒA big thank 
you to all who walked, sponsored , and helpedour walk from Christ Church Nailsworth to Christ 
Church Tetbury. The final total is £2,038.Ó

Tim Adkin, who works for WSP in 
Cossack Square, will announce himself to thenation on Radio 4Õs music quiz ÔCounterpointÕ

at the beginning of July as ÒA solicitor from 

Nailsworth in GloucestershireÓ. 

The quiz, hostedby eminentbroadcaster Paul 
Gambaccini, has 
been described 
by The Guardian

difficultÓ. Tim 

travelled to 
Salford Media 


City to record his
heat where he pitted his wits against fellow

had previously competed in ÔMastermindÕ,
ÔBrain Of BritainÕ and ÔFifteen To OneÕ. 


One individual has even applied to be the new

The programme will initially be broadcast at


3 p.m. on Monday the 4th July (and thereafteron the BBC iPlayer) when youÕll haveto tune in to see how he did. ÒIt was 
quite an experience,Ó said Tim, Òand 
ironically the broadcast date and timewill be exactly two years on from whenI was undergoing surgery for cancer in 
Gloucester Hospital.Ó

Summer is now here and although the football season still dominates thereis always plenty of time and room for tennis! Nailsworth Tennis Club is 
still thriving (behind the Subscription Rooms) and always looking fornew players of all ages. Whether you have never played before or have some 
experience, please get in touch and come and see what facilities the Club has tooffer. 
Megan Butterworth and Phil Sims are the regular, qualified coaches and coach 
beginners and experienced of all ages. On Sundays, the Tots and young ones start 
the day with basic tennis skills before the more hardened players have use of thecourts. On Wednesdays and Fridays after school there is more Junior coaching 
for the 5 - 11 year olds in 2 distinct groups. 
Megan and Phil can offer more group or 
individual coaching on request. 
Recently, a new hard court was put down 
as well as floodlighting - a fine new area toallow for more tennis all year round. There 
is plenty of time during the week for playersof all ages to come and play - even underfloodlights! 
The Club website is informative and 
easy to follow and gives more detailedinformation about membership, Club nights,
league matches (if that appeals) and ofcourse coaching and playing times. 
Please call Megan Butterworth (0779 535580) or Phil Sims (834903) for moreinformation about coaching and / or the Club itself. 
With the long summer evenings and the even longer summer holidays for the 
children, what better a way to keep fit and well occupied!

Walking Festival 
Almost 250 people took part in the Nailsworth HealthPartnership walking festival in May. 
We had good weather for nearly all the 16 walks but 
the rain on June 1st did not deter the 19 people wh,owere lead by Anthony Burton to each of the 4 houses in 
which the ÔSuper TrampÕ W H Davis lived. 
At each house, poems by W H Davis were read. 
A new departure this year was a Robin Hood walk 
led by Forest Teacher Carrie Roet (see comment page 4). 20 children (and their parents/
grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed making fire, clay pots, bows and arrows and acting outthe story of this Nottingham legend inHorsley woods. We shared the takings on 
3 walks with Stroud Valleys Project (the 
bat walk), the Nailsworth Festival (in the 
steps of E P Conway which followed on 
from the exhibition in the Mortimer rooms 
of ConwayÕs photographs) and Stroudwater 
Textile Trust (walking the Horsley Brook). 
NHP thanks the Renishaw Charities for 
their grant towards the costs of the festival.
The next walking festival will be in 2018and 2017 should see another NHP Health 
Fair.

ÒWhen professional players took upTwenty20 cricket, ChristopherMartin-Jenkins commented in the DailyTelegraph that they were following in the 
footsteps of the Commoners Eights. So if 
you think Twenty20 is exciting, come and 
see the real thing at Nympsfield on Sunday21st August 2016. 
Commoners and their invited teams will 
assemble at 11 oÕclock to start six league 
games Ð each lasting just an hour - withthe top two teams going head-to-head in afinal. Runs will flow in torrents, with more 
than a 1,000 being scored during the day. 
The competition will be fierce because although Commoners are the current 
holders, in recent times every other visitor has been a finalist. You can bet each 
will be bursting a blood vessel to carry off the trophy for 2016! 
There is ample parking space and plenty of room for children to play. The food 
and refreshment facilities are superb. NympsfieldÕs own Barmy Army will be in 
fine voice. Entrance is free. Support your trail-blazing local cricket club and have 
yourself a truly memorable day out.Ó

Rio is 
absolutelythrilled and 
thank you somuch! 
In the last issue 
we asked for anyoneto help sponsor Rio 
Russell Hughes in 
her eventing. We 
are thrilled that a 
local person withinminutes of seeing thearticle, made contact and after seeing Rio in action with her horse, stumpedup a Ôwonderful chequeÕ on the spot. Perhaps with this type of support and 
the talent that Rio also has, we may see her (not in Rio this year) but in futureOlympics and other big events closer to home! 
Support is still needed to purchase a horse box / horse lorry. Does anyone 
know of anything? Please contact:

Coco and Euro 2016 
Okay - so this is not strictly ÔsportÕand may be stretching a point, but ifyou are ready to enjoy the Final thenyou probably need some beer. 
Drinking and driving is not anoption, ever, and when arriving at a 
friendÕs house to ÔenjoyÕ the game 
you may feel curtailed. But, theremay be a solution. 
How 
about 
havinga coupleof 
bottles 
and still 
beingable to 
drive 
home? Coco in Nailsworth offer a 
crate of beer which is exactly thatbut with a twist. 
The beer is from Belgium andencased in oh-so-lovely chocolateand presented in a beautifullyembossed ÔcrateÕ. 
If chocolate is not your thing andyou want to chuck something at thetelly, please consider jelly babies or 
gummy bears, Coco sells them alland more!

Festival 
Saturday


last month was not dampenedby the heavy skies above. The 
occasional shower put off no one - 
the typical British spirit of ÔwhatÕs a bit of 
rain?Õ shone through! 

There were smiles and laughter allaround as children and adults enjoyed thefun, music, face-painting, balloons and 

the normal fun of the fair. 

The famous Duck Race again

made a big splash as well as Punch

and Judy doing their annual bit to

much amusement!
