“ The Blues is Back in Town”… in true rock n roll style Wallingford Blues & BeerFestival will rise again from the ashes thanks to a partnership with f ellow music promoters Rugfest\, on Friday 21 st June 2019.
\nThe fes
tival’s 26 year venue\, the old Regal Cinema\, was bursting at the seams a
nd easily reached its maximum 500 capacity during the last three events\,
but sadly closed in 2017. Maybe this was a sign to move to somewhere bigge
r and better? Forcing the event to cancel at the last minute two years ago
was a massive blow\, notwithstanding the considerable losses leaving no r
eserves to invest in a new site.
\nSuch a shame after giving away ove
r £40\,000 to local charities since its inception..! As the festival’s not
oriety has grown over the years\, and created a huge impression nationally
on the UK blues scene\, it’s no wonder that the call from both locals and
countrywide blues fans to re-establish the festival has been heart-warmin
g. This opportunity given by Rugfest to host the festival for one night on
Friday 21 st June
\n2019\, at their Wallingford Sports Trust site\,
could ensure the future of the event for another 26 years.
‘Brothe rs in arms’\, ‘scrum down’\, ‘pitch perfect’ with an outstanding ‘line-out ’ headed by 1970’s chart toppers and British blues impresarios the Climax Blues Band. The evening event will host three bands with Hip Route finishi ng the stage set\, then music continues indoors with an open-mic and R&B s et to the early hours. The Papa George Band will open on stage at 7pm foll owed by headliners Climax Blues Band. Gates open 5pm until late with plent y of beer and fodder accompaniment and this year there is no 500 attendee limit on ticket sales!
\nWallingford Blues & Beer Festival could bui ld on this year to be a stand-alone event again and\, with a bit of 20-20 vision\, be restored next year to even more glory than its last six sell-o ut nights promised. This is a great chance to be part of a new and excitin g rebirth of a famous event.

Happily\, Posada returns to Dorchester this Advent. Posada is an old Mexican tradit ion retelling the story of Mary and Joseph as they travel from house to ho use asking for a room for the night. It starts out in the community and en ds on Christmas Eve at the church.
\nModern day Posada uses nativity
figures of Mary and Joseph. Each Dorchester host enjoys the chance symbol
ically to welcome the figures into their home with the real message of Chr
istmas. Look out for the figures in Dorchester windows\, and join others a
t the Abbey for Advent Sunday\; the Posada Party on 12 December (see poste
r)\; or at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve\, when the figures will featu
re. (For information:

\n‘Up the Street’: the history of pubs\, s hops and businesses in Dorchester
\nWe look at how local businesses
have evolved\, especially since the 1850s\, using a variety of sources suc
h as census data\, directories\, photographs\, family records and local kn
owledge. Our special focus is on shops\, pubs and trades\, and the familie
s engaged in them\, in some cases over several generations. We also draw o
n oral history and local memories to show how things have changed\, especi
ally in the last few decades.
\nWe hope that many residents will brin
g their own memories and memorabilia\, so that we can take the project for
ward. We are very grateful to those who have already shared their stories.
Looking forward\, the speaker on April 24th will be Tony Hadland on ‘Covert Catholics of the Dorchester area’.

\nMarina will desc ribe the varied use of annuals\, as fillers when creating a new border\, a s drifts to create cohesion in a planting\, as specimens\, green manures\, pollinator caviar as well as bedding displays (only a passing mention on the latter!) and introducing unusual varieties for the discerning gardener . The talk will be illustrated with plant material and various sundries.\nAfter a couple of reincarnations from Firecrest Nursery and Green Fa rm Plants\, Marina finally emerged as Phoenix Perennial Plants in 2002. Ph oenix is sited in a cold\, wet frost pocket so plants have to be extremely hardy and tolerate winter wet. Phoenix earns medals vicariously by supply ing some of the top garden designers with unusual plants for the Chelsea F lower Show and has won ‘Best in Show’ several times! Marina became an auth or in 2006 with her book ‘Late Summer Flowers’.

After the Reformation\, a m inority of our ancestors – known as ‘popish recusants’ – refused to abando n Roman Catholicism\, despite it being made illegal in England. Some other s who were Catholic at heart conformed outwardly to the Church of England and were known as ‘church papists’. This talk reveals how recusants and ch urch papists ensured the secretive survival of Catholicism in Oxfordshire and Berkshire during the long period in which ‘the old faith’ was outlawed . It also incorporates a more detailed look at the recusants of Dorchester and district.
\nBorn 1949 in Reading\, Tony is a retired chartered
building surveyor\, information scientist\, operational risk manager and m
useum administrator\, who has also been a freelance broadcaster. Today he

The housing development at Great Western Park allowed archaeologists to explore in detail a vast are a of landscape. This revealed significant discoveries from virtually every period\, allowing for the reconstruction of the various ways in which the inhabitants of Didcot have lived over the last 10\,000 years. The evidenc e is in many respects representative of changes that can be seen over much of southern Britain. This talk will introduce the prehistoric discoveries made at Great Western Park and discuss how they help us understand the li ves of our ancestors.
\nA selection of artefacts found at Great West ern Park will also be on display.
\nAlex Davies obtained his PhD in 2016 on Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement and society in the Thames Valley. He has since worked in post-excavation at Oxford Archaeology\, pri marily analysing and writing up prehistoric excavations and pottery. He is interested in all aspects of British and European prehistory\, and the us e of ethnography in the interpretation of prehistoric society.
\nVisitors and new members are always very welcome to our talks an

DESCRIPTION:
Mark Davies on: ‘Professors of Rowing: the first Oxford v Cambridge Boat Races’
\nAlthough the fir st known inter-college race was held in 1815\, competitive rowing was stil l a low-key affair in Oxford when Cambridge University issued the first ch allenge in 1829. That changed in 1843\, when a seven-man Oxford crew won a n unlikely victory and rowing displaced cricket as the pre-eminent summer sporting activity. In between\, an unusual alliance of Town & Gown had see n Thames’ watermen and boatbuilders – some immortalised in fiction – cruci ally equipping and training the early Oxford crews.
\nMark Davies is an Oxford local historian\, guide\, and author with an especial interest in the history and literature of Oxford’s waterways. He has lived on a res idential narrowboat on the Oxford Canal since 1992 and has led towpath wal ks in Oxford for 20 years. Most of his talks focus on the waterways of Oxf ord\, including literary themes (especially Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’\, on w hich he has spoken as far afield as India)\, but his other distinctive spe cialties include: Oxford Castle\; 400 hundred years of the Botanic Garden\ ; and the local contributions to the origins of hot-air ballooning. He is currently assisting the Museum of Oxford in preparation for its reopening in 2020.
\nOctober talk: Professor Malcolm Airs ‘William and Jes sie Macfarlane and their Mission for Dorchester’.

\nWhile Mat was at
Wisley he was introduced to gardener and writer Christopher Lloyd and spe
nt subsequent weekends volunteering in his garden\, Great Dixter. So when
he finished at Kew\, there was only one place he wanted to be. He went to
see Fergus Garrett\, head gardener at Dixter\, and started work almost imm
ediately. He says “Dixter is gardened in a creative and inventive way\, so
we were constantly trying new things”.
\nAfter that\, in 2010 Mat mo
ved to Malverleys\, a private estate in Hampshire\, where he is developing
and redesigning the gardens. He gave us a talk on Melverleys in November
2016. Mat is now regarded as one of a handful of top-echelon gardeners wor
king in Britain today.

The organisers of this quinte ssential local fundraising event are excited to welcome back the star of O xford based TV series “Endeavour”\, Shaun Evans\, who read so brilliantly last year. Shaun will be joined (performance commitments permitting) by Pa tricia Hodge (“A Very English Scandal”\, “Miranda”\, “Downton Abbey”)\; Sa lly Phillips (“Bridget Jones” and sequels\, “Miranda”\, “Smack the Pony”)\ ; Roger Allam (“Rutherford and Sons” National Theatre\, “Endeavour”). “the support\, over the years\, of so many notable celebrities is what gives t he evening that magical extra ingredient” (Sandra Devaney\, Committee Chai r).
\nRaising a record £44\,000 towards the cost of Macmillan Cancer Support services in Oxfordshire last year shows the generosity of our aud ience and supporters says Belinda Hanson (in charge of sponsorship and adv ertising). The committee hope to once again raise a substantial sum for Ma cmillan and continue to be their largest single fund-raising event in the county. Funds are ring-fenced to support local Macmillan services for the people of Oxfordshire.
\nThe “Celebration of Christmas” concert is now in its 23rd year “often copied never bettered” (founder Petronella Sec combe) attracts people from around the country and abroad because of the m agical setting\, sublime music and the variety of readings by talented cel ebrity guests. During this light hearted but contemplative evening\, presi ded over by the Bishop\, guests will enjoy hearing the re-telling of the C hristmas story through a mixture of traditional music\, carols and mainly non-scriptural readings.
\nAmidst the flickering candle light and de scending silence\, a chorister from Christ Church Cathedral choir will ope n with the spine-tingling notes to “Once in Royal David’s City” with wonde rful organ music provided by Cathedral organist Steven Grahl. Our choir\, The Oxford Bach Soloists (“a superlative group of singers” The Oxford Time s)\, conducted by multi-award winning Tom Hammond-Davies\, their Founder a nd Artistic Director\, will sing a mixture of favourite festive choral pie ces mixed with carefully chosen less well-known works. Loyal supporters an d newcomers alike will this year be treated to a new carol: Questions\, A Lullaby Carol with music by David Goode and words written by the local lib rettist Dr. Francis Warner\, Emeritus Fellow\, St. Peter’s College\, Unive rsity of Oxford one of the last pupils of C.S. Lewis. Magdalen College Sch ool Brass Ensemble will entertain guests as they arrive.
\nTessa Wat son\, Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support says: “This event i s organised by an amazing group of committed volunteers who give up many h ours of their precious time to produce a magical event and raise substanti al funds for our work. We are so grateful to the committee\, the sponsors\ , the donors and the visitors for all their contributions which make this our most successful single fundraising event in Oxfordshire.”
\nTick ets are available from £25 and can be bought online at www.ticketsoxford.c om or in person from the Oxford Playhouse. “Anyone wanting to mingle with their favourite TV stars will be able to if they buy Gold seats which incl ude tickets to the VIP champagne (kindly donated by Barbara and Tony Laith waite) reception afterwards” said Phillipa Rooney (in charge of finding th e celebrity readers).
\nQuotes from 2018:
\nWill Gompertz\, BBC
Arts Editor “The singing was extraordinary… a privilege to be there”
\nShaun Evans ‘Endeavour’ “wonderful mixture of laughter and music”
\n“a joyous event\, beautiful location\, great readings and a really nice
start to the Christmas season”

However\, wi th a number of new and enthusiastic members we believe there is now suffic ient support within the village to form a new committee and revive it to a fully constituted Branch again.
\nTherefore we would like to invite all current Royal British Legion members to a meeting in the White Hart a t 7.30pm on Wednesday 18th March to explain what we are planning and to ga in your agreement to move forward. There will also be an opportunity for m embers to express their views on any Legion matters as well as reforming t he Branch.
\nIf we are successful we will then be able to continue t he Remembrance Day parade as in previous years. If not there will need to be major changes in future Remembrance parades starting November 2020.
\nPlease make a note in your diary and we hope to see you on 18th March .

\nKeith Parry will talk on: An A to W of Bridges\, from Abingdon to Wallingford
\nBridges across the Thames have an important role in the river’s history. Some\, notably Abingdon and Wallingford\, are very old\, built initially to support the w ool industry: they were the only stone structures across the river between Oxford and London Bridge until the middle of the eighteenth century. An e arly bridge at Shillingford is more speculative and could be one of the ve ry few bridges across the Thames that ceased operation for several centuri es. It was rebuilt\, along with those at Clifton Hampden and Sutton Courte nay\, as part of the road transport revolution late in the eighteenth cent ury.
\nKeith Parry\, after thirty year’s research experience in the agrochemical industry\, ‘retired’ to develop his interest in history\, gai ning a Diploma and then an MSc in English Local History at Oxford Universi ty. As a voluntary researcher for the Maidenhead Heritage Centre\, he work ed with the Stanley Spencer Gallery on the history of beer and malt manufa cture in Cookham\, based on the remaining buildings and the paintings and writings of Stanley Spencer. This research was published as ‘Stanley Spenc er and the Cowls of Cookham’\, Berkshire Old and New 2019\, pp.16-33. As w ell as lecturing at Oxford\, Keith wrote on ‘Parliamentary Enclosure in Ox fordshire’ for The Historical Atlas of Oxfordshire\, building on his MSc d issertation: ‘The Defence of Cookham Commons from 1800 to 1850’. Current r esearch includes the history and maintenance of early wooden bridges over the river Thames\, an article on Marlow’s Wooden Bridge 1180 to 1820 is fo rthcoming in Construction History. Keith is also Treasurer and Trustee of The Historic Towns Trust\; an atlas of Oxford will be published later this year.
\nLooking ahead:

Sinodun Players present Agatha Christie’s intense family dra ma\, written in 1956.
\nIt’s Agatha Christie\, but not as you know h er. A Daughter’s A Daughter was published by Christie under the name Mary Westmacott.
\nSet between 1945 and 1949\, Ann Prentice\, a widow on the cusp of remarriage\, has to choose between her only daughter and the m an she loves.
\nWhat follows is a remarkable exploration of the afte rmath of sacrifice\, as love turns to hatred and mother and daughter strug gle to understand what has happened to them.

\nIn the mid nineteenth cent ury changes in employment practices and rising real wages meant that ordin ary working people found themselves\, usually for the first time\, with le isure time and with spare money to spend on recreation. All sorts of estab lishments arose to fulfil the new demand for entertainment\, many of them aimed at keeping people out of the pub. This talk describes where and how Oxford citizens spent their free time\, and how the middle classes attempt ed to impose ‘rational recreation’ on their working-class contemporaries.< /p>\n

\nHave you ever stood in the mou ntains\, no city lights around\, looking up\, seeing all these stars above you? It’s very impressive and it may be that this experience has made man y generations before us turn to the stars for company\, support or guidanc e. Every year at Christmas we take the tale of the Star of Bethlehem for g ranted. The story tells us that it led the three wise men to the birthplac e of Jesus. Astronomically speaking it has caused quite a lot of controver sy amongst historians and scientists – so we thought we’d just tell its st ory through music.
