by SCDC:
S/0196/09/F – Extensions –64 Abbey

Applications (to SCDC) to

reduce, Scots Pine – 20% limb shortening over boundary, Gum Tree – coppice, Elm
– remove to base small group – The Mill House, 31 Church Street. – Approve.
Footpath between Abbey
Street & Back Lane - The Clerk had received a few complaints about this
footpath. Two residents adjacent to the
footpath had been contacted. Terry
Sadler volunteered to cut down the elders, which are growing into the pathway.
Flooding:
Land adj. Stump Cross – A
letter (dated 3rd July) had been received from Environment Agency
stating that until they receive an official planning consultation from Essex
County Council on this matter it is not something that Planning Liaison would
get involved in. The situation will
continue to be monitored.
Drain top of Mill Lane – Mike
Cooper (Highways) said the gully outfalls into a ditch on railway property on
the left just before the railway crossing.
It was agreed to meet with Mr Cooper and discuss further.
Abbey Street opp. Methodist Chapel –
Flooding after a heavy thunderstorm had caused residents some concern. It was agreed to discuss this situation when
we meet with Mr Cooper.
Footpath 3 - A
quotation had been received for clearing nettles etc. in Water Lane for £64.00
+ VAT. This quotation was
accepted. Sheila Birch asked if this
included clearing up to the kissing gate as there were thistles growing. The Clerk will check this, and, if not, find
out if there will be any extra cost involved.
Other items of interest:
Hedges/trees/nettles – Just a gentle reminder to residents.
We have received a few complaints about greenery, which is overhanging
footpaths and making it difficult for people (and especially children) to walk
on the footpaths. Please could you do
your bit to make/keep the footpaths clear and safe. Many thanks.
Sandbags/Flooding – As
previously mentioned, the Parish Council recommends that, if owners are concerned
about flooding at their property, they should purchase sandbags (available from
Ridgeons) to protect their property.
Highways only supply sandbags in extreme circumstances that relate to
flooding on the roads.
Great Chesterford
Railway Bridge – Essex
County Council have now moved the 30 mph speed sign to the Ickleton side of the
bridge. We hope this will help to
prevent so many accidents occuring and would like to thank Great Chesterford
Parish Council for pursuing and getting this implemented.

CONGRATULATIONS TO….Tricia and David Newland who celebrated their Golden
Wedding Anniversary on 18th July.
Bells and Bellringing
To celebrate Tricia and David’s anniversary a quarter peal
was rung at Ickleton and a peal and quarter peal at Duxford.
This enabled Jenny Pell to ring her first peal and Jenny
Goodwin (who is also joint editor of Hinxton News) to ring her first quarter.
Congratulations to them both. One of the ringers in the Ickleton quarter peal
was Judith Webster, who it was good to meet again after nearly 40 years, as she
used to ring at Ickleton when she lived in Abbey Street in the 1960s.
Bell Repairs
We are now ringing again after completion of the work on the
bells by Taylors Earye and Smith.
Thanks to Derek Rule for his invaluable assistance to the
bell-hangers. David
Lilley
ICKLETON CHURCH
FETE - 2009
What can I say about the brilliant day on July 4th. I was really worried in the week with so
many fetes around and at 2.00 p.m. there did not seem so many people! But they
all came later. Even the weather was excellent. We were so sorry that we had
cancel the pet show because of the heat.
Profit from the fete is £2,786.89. This is in aid of Church
funds, which is fantastic. Items left over from the Church Fete went to the
Home Farm Trust in Saffron Walden.
I must say thank you to everybody who helped on the day and
behind the scenes. It does not just happen!
The Churchwardens and the Parochial Church Council are very
grateful to the village for supporting us. Thank you once again. Monica Lilley - Fete
Organiser
Silent Auction at the Church Fete
A huge
thank you to everyone who donated goods to our silent auction – and, of course,
to those who bid for them. The auction raised over £700 for church funds - a
really splendid result which was entirely due to your generosity. Rosemary and Colin Hayes
Annual
Raffle
This year the majority of prizes stayed in Ickleton. First
Prize of a Marriott Luxury Hotel Break went to Gerry and Sheila Birch of Abbey
Street. Second went to Bill Miller of Icknield Close (Mountain Bike). The Luxury Hamper went to Jane Neufville c/o
McKillens.
A complete list will be posted on the Village Notice Board.
Many thanks to our sponsors Genome Campus, Dawn Bradley, Ickleton Lion, Duxford
Air Museum, Murketts of Stapleford, Liz Goddard and Salon Sun of Saffron Walden
together with our anonymous donors.
Thank you to all who sold tickets including the Ickleton
Lion and Costcutter Express who provide much appreciated support.
Thanks also for the donations to my Bottle Stall. Neil
McKillen
Flower & Produce Stall
A big thank you to those people who contributed to the
attractive floral display, and to Carli Holbery for being our judge. Cecil Vincent kindly judged the herbs,
summer fruits and ‘beans in a jar’. We will have to think again about the salad
vegetables category, which did not attract entries. Thanks to those who helped
with the marquee and the tables and to Dawn Bradley for helping during the
day. Thanks also for the interest shown
in the Woolly Farm Garden; it was more of a hit than expected!
Quotable quotes: From a lady coming
into the marquee. “Can you tell me where the floral and produce tent is please”
(she grimaced and left!) and from a resident on seeing allotment produce being
arranged for display “Don’t throw those away, if you don’t want them, they can
be fed to our chickens”

Come and join the Ickleton Sizzler, a FREE EVENT for all
ages. Featuring tea tent with home made
cakes, barbecue, scarecrow fashion competition, old fashioned races and games
for the children (and adults) and a silent auction of promises. For the first time this year the Ickleton
Allotment Association will be running the Ickleton Produce Show, a celebration
of all things grown and produced in the village (see below).
Bring a picnic blanket, pop-up gazebo if you have one, a few
drinks and join in the fun! It is an
event for all ages so we hope you will come along. Last year over 200 Ickleton residents joined us!
As an amazing extra this year, Luciana and Simon Day from the
Eight Bells are donating a hog roast.
As usual the Sizzler is funded by donations received from
last year so please bring those coins (or notes) to put into any of the
donation jars. The auction this year
has some fantastic promises made by Ickleton residents.
Pick up a free residents ticket so that we know how much
food to order. They will be available
from the 10th to the 28th August from the following:
Village Shop, Anne-Marie, Jess, or Hilary.
This event is aimed at Ickleton residents but if you have visitors and
wish to bring them along, extra tickets can be obtained for the small fee of £1
each.
We will provide chairs and tables for those who need a
little more comfort! If you need assistance getting to the recreation ground
please call Anne-Marie Hoare to arrange a lift.
If you would like to bake a cake or assist us in the tea
tent, please contact Katherine.
All cake donations gratefully received on the day! The
Ickleton Sizzler Committee
The Ickleton Produce Show
We know that there are some very talented Ickleton residents
out there, so why not show off your skills and enter the show! We hope there will be at least one category
that you can enter. It will be free to enter
and is intended to be a bit of fun!
Categories include: potatoes, carrots, runner beans, onions,
shallots, squashes, tomatoes, leeks, box of mixed produce, jams/jelly, pickle
or chutney, vase of flowers and box of eggs.
For the children: decorated cupcakes, garden on a plate and the ugliest
vegetable. Finally, for the first time
in many years, there will be the highly prized Best Ickleton Allotment Cup.
Full details of each category will follow in a leaflet to be
posted through your door in mid-August. If you don’t receive the leaflet,
please don’t hesitate to contact the Allotment Association or Katherine from
the Sizzlers.
A MURDER IS
ANNOUNCED….
A
murder is announced and will take place on Saturday 10th October in
Ickleton Village Hall at 7.30 p.m. Friends accept this, the only intimation.
FLEDGLINGS
Your vote can help make Fledglings the
UK’s favourite charity project!
Many thanks to everyone who recently voted for
Fledglings, the locally-based children’s charity, in the National Lottery
awards. At the time of going to press
we don’t know if we are through to the finals, but we think we are in with a
good chance. If we are in the finals I
do hope you will vote for us again, and encourage everyone else you know to do
so. The next round of voting takes
place from 3rd – 14th
August.
If we win it will make a tremendous difference to
Fledglings. For example, during the
next 12 months we will be seeking major funding to support the charity’s
continuing growth, and if we can win this award it will open all sorts of
doors. It will also raise awareness
with families who don’t know how Fledglings could help them. We are sure that, if we can get the right
support, we will be able to help many more children with disabilities, and
their families.
So please keep an eye on the local press, and if we
are in the finals you can vote by visiting
www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards,
clicking on the Best Voluntary/Charity
Project category and casting your vote for Fledglings. Alternatively you
can call ( 0844 686 6754 to register a phone vote.
Fingers crossed!

STANLEY FLIES HIGH!
Stanley Peck, 93 years young, recently flew in a Tiger Moth
for the first time in 67 years at Imperial War Museum, Duxford. Stanley was a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF
from 1942-1945. His flight with Classic Wings at Duxford was the first time
that Stanley had stepped into a Tiger Moth since his days as a pilot in the
Second World War.
Stanley joined the RAF in 1942. He undertook flying
instructions in South Africa and did his elementary flying on Tiger Moths at
the Benoni in the Transvaal. Following
237 hours of flying, Stanley was awarded his wings and also won the Commanding
Officers Trophy as the top pilot on the course.
IWM Duxford recreated a photo that Stanley had taken in
South Africa back in 1942, standing alongside his Tiger Moth, having just
completed his first solo flight, in order to commemorate his 2009 flight.
Just prior to take off, Stanley Peck said, with a beaming
smile. “This is a very nostalgic occasion that I have been looking forward to
for many years. It brings back so many
memories. My wife bought this flight
for me as a birthday present and family members said to her “What’s wrong – do
you want to get rid of Stanley?”

PICNIC POTTER AT
HINXTON MILL - Sunday 6th September
It will soon be time to pack up a picnic and potter along to
Hinxton Mill.
Plots for an afternoon by the river are being snapped up, so
if you haven’t reserved your space please get in touch soon.
The idea is to bring your own food, but pots of tea can be
bought on the day and there will be a cake stall – if anyone would like to bake
something for the occasion, I would be delighted as my cake making is not up to
Joyce’s standards!
Bring your own rug, or for a small fee you can hire a small
table and chairs. And while you relax
and munch away you will hopefully be contributing to the Cambridge Preservation
Society’s fund to repaint the outside of the mill.
Water levels permitting, the mill will be working, and
picnickers will be able to have a look around the cottage’s garden. Plots for
up to six people can be booked for £10.00 (larger groups by arrangement). Picnic space is limited, so early booking is
essential. As mentioned above, chairs
and tables will be available to rent if required and there will be pots of tea
for picnickers from £2.50 (bring your own mugs etc) and a tempting cake
stall. Admission to the Mill is £1.50
for adults, 50p children and CPS members are free, and the event will run from
2.30 p.m.– 5.30 p.m.
Contact Sue Elliott for more information or offers of cakes.
(Please note: This is a private garden and much of it is
open to the river so for safety please note parties including children should
ask for a picnic plot in the front garden).
