Sunday creche: at 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings small children can be
left at St Andrew's creche near the church by any parent wishing to P.I.P.
(pray in peace). They are also welcome in church as always - or half and
half. Details ring 748848. Notifications encouraged.
Carols before Christmas
The Carol Service comes early this year (17th) though not so early as the
Speedwell School Carol Service which takes place in Sandford Church on
the 14th. In past ages the 12 Days of Christmas stretched from the 25th
to 6th January - the Feast of the Epiphany. We tend to focus on the
period before in a mad scramble of shopping and cards and parties (for
some). All the more reason to make a space in that time to remember
what it is all about in the run-up. Familiar carols are one way of tuning
in. The slow movement of ritual and music slows down our racing
minds and lets us dwell on the meaning of what we are acknowledging.
And then Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day itself- the Midnight
Mass (11.30 p.m.) straddles both, and those who do not receive
communion are equally welcome to listen to the Christmas message at
that Holy Night and to share in that Joy to the World, and make the
personal acknowledgment silently, yet in company with our neighbours.
And what is that message we are invited to acknowledge? It is
summed up in one Hebrew word, Emmanuel, which means 'God with
us'. And who will hear it? Christmas has become a thinner holiday for
many - not shorter, but shorn of some of its depth of meaning, less holy.
How can we celebrate 'God with us -Joy to the World' when we have
forgotten the language by which we enter this larger world - or have
trivialized it? That is not a matter for reproach - just a matter of regret,
and a number of sensitive people will feel a pang of regret about what as a
culture we seem to have lost - and what we are putting in its place.
Meanwhile the Church carries on at two levels: looking to deepen the
commitment of those who seriously want to know and follow, and
looking to serve the wider society which does not much want to know,
much less follow this all-absorbing way of responding to God's love
revealed in the birth of a child and the life and death that gives new
meaning to human existence.

Meeting Point
12.30 lunch in the Village Hall, on Fridays 12th January, 9th February,
8th March. All welcome.
REST IN PEACE:
FRANK WELCH. 25th April 1908 - 12th November 1995
Frank was born on St Mark's Day into a Christian family in Littlemore.
He had a fine voice and was recruited into the Sandford church choir,
being the best in the area, then as now. Annie, the youngest of the
Naish girls from 9 River View, sat in the front pew, and as often happens
a friendship developed, followed by courtship. They married in Sandford
in 1935, with sister Agnes a bridesmaid, and celebrated their diamond
wedding this August, remaining faithful members of the congregation,
especially regular at Evensong. Frank worked over 50 years as a lab
technician in the University Department of crystallography where he
knew a girl called Hilda Roberts as one of the students there 50 years
ago. During the war he combined this job with the Royal Observer
Corps. He was a keen gardener and every year for as long as anyone can
remember produced a pumpkin for the Harvest Festival, then helped Mr
Pitson take all the produce to Nazareth Home in Cowley. At the annual
flower festival he always did the window above the hymn books.
Latterly deafness was a trial, robbing him of his music, but to those who
knew him his saintliness and good humour will not be forgotten. Our
sympathies go to Annie, to their son John and grandsons Geoffrey and
Keith in this sudden new bereavement.
FRANK TURNER 1905 - 1995
In the few years since coming down from Accrington to be near their son
and family at Church Road Mr and Mrs Turner have made themselves
treasured members of Sandford church, though latterly too frail to attend
and receiving Holy Communion at home. They celebrated their
diamond wedding in 1992. We are thankful for their time among us.
Mr Turner died on December 2nd and the funeral was in Sandford
Church prior to cremation. Our sympathies to Mrs Turner, and to
Michael and Liz and all the rest of the family.

The New Burial Ground
Readers of Council minutes in the Link will know of our local Council's
buying from Magdalen a plot of land adjacent to the churchyard and the
recreation ground to be available to all rate payers (after they stop paying
rates). The church welcomes this response to its initial approach to the
College seven years ago, backed up by Mr Leary's follow-up, and looks
forward to co-operation with the Council over this. The first step will be
the development of a garden of remembrance in the triangle the other
side of the churchyard which will ideally be consecrated by the Bishop of
Oxford on May 12th. Anyone wishing to lend a hand in preparing the
land please contact Mr Leary or wishing to plant ash trees etc. the vicar.
For further details see Matthew 27.7-10, Jer. 32 etc.
STOP PRESS: On 4th December the Council turned down the vicar's
request that when the burial ground is fenced they also add 30 metres
fencing for the garden of Remembrance. Full details in next Link. The
vicar's case was that the churchgoers pay for clergy salaries and church
buildings, but that burial or cremation was something all would need and
must be available for all, and is therefore a legitimate charge on the taxes.
Any non-church members who would like to avert this entirely friendly
disagreement between Church and State and have the garden available
for all are invited to send £10 to the Garden Fund (c/o Treasurer) to pay
for this fence (part of the condition of sale of the land generously made
available by Magdalen College.)

Fit for Christmas? (well - maybe the New Year)
In June this year LifeStride Fitness launched regular exercise classes at
Sandford Village Hall. Workers from the Oxford Science Park and a
handful of Sandford residents braved out the heatwave, meeting regularly
to improve their fitness.
The Thursday evening class (5.45 - 6.45 p.m.) is aimed at getting
participants to exercise straight or soon after work, before going home
and getting 'too comfortable' in the armchair. Classes are for beginners
to intermediate fitness levels and offer adaptable intensities to suit
individual abilities. Movements are all done to music working up to
aerobic level, and include warm up, stretch, and muscle toning sections,
strengthening all muscle groups including abdominals, legs and bottoms.
It is not a dance class, and both sexes take part. All ages and abilities
welcomed. Come in casual, comfortable clothing, and bring along a
drink. Until the end of this year, the first class is free for participants to
try. Cost is £3 per session or ten classes for £25.
If you are unsure, call Dee Armstrong on 01491-******.

Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem-on-Thames
There are four vacancies in the regular choir, and the monthly musicians
and the occasional songsters. Have a word with the vicar or choir master
if you have unsuspected talents.
Parish Room: call for volunteers still open. Work about to begin.
Park Homes
The annual meeting of the Park Homes Residents Association met on
27th November. Mr Roy Waite, IPHAS, and Mr Stimson (District
Council) attended. Thanks to all who made it a pleasant evening. The
newsletter and report will be distributed to owners shortly.
Thanks to Bill Heine, and other allies, who took up the cry of the
'Sandford Stirrers' to get something done about the Oxford City Council
Housing Department scandal of inadequate heating in Eastern House,
Littlemore, where some freezing Sandburgers are to be found (cf. photos
in Oxford Mail).
Reaffirmation of Marriage Vows
Some people celebrate their wedding anniversary or silver wedding or
some other special time by a service in church, whether quietly and just
themselves and/or close family, or with all their friends and relations.
The service is one of blessing and thanksgiving and includes part of what
was promised years back at the wedding service. Anyone thinking of
doing this should contact the vicar.
Youth Club
The last meeting before Christmas break will be 13th December. restart
10th January 1996. Thanks to all who have helped Vicky Charlton over
it, including Lin the purse, Hazel with the shopping, and younger helpers
too. The bad news is that the premises have again been broken into and
tuck stolen. The sad news is we think we know who are responsible and
they are local. Thanks to the Village Hall Management Committee
coping in Don's absence. We wish him a good recovery from his stroke.

Unreported Crime in Sandford
A whole spate of vandalism on cars etc. in the village has gone
unreported. It is vital that all such incidents are reported to Cowley
(and instructions left to inform Community P.C. Bulger) because the
numbers of crimes reported in any area affects the policing we get. At
present it is rather little.
Another Sandford 'first'
St Andrew's church is happy to celebrate its first woman bishop. Rev.
Caroline Irish, who has preached here every Christmas for five years and
recently (since we started welcoming this) celebrated, has been elected
Bishop of Utah, based on Salt Lake City. She will be consecrated on 1st
June next year.
Correction: our canine affairs correspondent apologizes to Toby of
Church Road for getting his name wrong in the last issue. 'Bonkers' was
maybe appropriate but it wasn't accurate, and since we set great store by
accuracy we hope he'll accept the apology and withdraw his lawsuit for
defamation.
Toby's behaviour (like Buster's and Pip's) is an example and an
inspiration to the canine community of Sandford. They always leave the
footpath and go into the fields to do their business. Unlike some ...
Tin-shed Befouled
We are sad to report on the behaviour of some others who have turned
this beautiful walk into a hazard to healthy and wholesome shoes. May
we courteously suggest that their owners either buy a poopy-scoop or
teach their little (and not so little) friends to retire discreetly into the
fields.

angry and disgusted correspondent - Ed.)

Correspondence
Dear Editor,
You may wish to include the following in the next edition of Link. It is
written in response to the Parish Council minutes of 12th June.
"Mental Patients in the Parish"
I was ashamed to read the minute from 'our' Parish Council about
'mental patients' and the danger of uneven distribution. Given that the
figures suggest that as many as 1:6 people will experience mental health
difficulties in their lives, I was deeply saddened by the unfortunate term
(mental patients) used in the minutes, and the 'not in my back yard'
attitude that was implied.,
We should be grateful that modern mental health care is so
enlightened that it no longer considers incarceration as a treatment of
choice. We still have, in Littlemore, the reminder of a time when years
of exclusion from the world at large might arise from an episode of
mental ill health. I appreciate the economic demands upon our health
service, the more humane approaches to care and the volume of people
requiring mental health care has led to an increase in prompt return to
the community at large or indeed into hostels.
I am delighted that as a
community we are enabling our less fit members to live in homes of their
own rather than institutions and call upon the Parish to exercise
compassion towards the less fortunate, especially as statistically mental
health problems will visit all of our families and associates. I believe we
should apply pressure to ensure that any such housing has the appropriate
levels of back up care and support, and rather than increasing the stigma
by such unfortunate terminology, ask the Parish Council to
constructively debate how we could support our fellow citizens who are
in difficulty for whatever reason. In this way we might better understand
the part we might all play in integrating our citizens back into the
community.
We might also be more caring ourselves by acknowledging that
this issue is about people with mental health illness, and not 'mental
patients'.
Yours sincerely, Nigel Northcott

Letter from Bosnia: A Day at the Institute, June 1995
Pazaric: the Institute cares for 380 mentally handicapped patients. The
Charity, Bosnia Aid Committee of Oxford are working at the centre on
a refurbishment programme funded by the Overseas Development
Administration.
A Monday morning: I have just had breakfast, coarse brown bread, a
little margarine mixed with honey, and a cup of water. I'm halfway
across the play area and on my way to work. Ivan stops me and asks for
a cigarette, Benny wants his shoes re-gluing again, someone has stole
'Zagreb's' pencil, and he wants a replacement, Ziatan wants his watch
strap mended, and Benny suddenly remembers that the battery in his
watch has gone. Juka tells me he is off to get some paint. I've still got
another 50 metres to go before I reach the sanctuary of number eight
building.
Never mind, its a beautiful morning, some of the younger ones
are kicking a ball about, and there seems to be an argument going on
about a key. Other patients stand around talking to themselves, and a
few are dancing to the piped music when the first shell hits the roof of a
house less than 100 metres from the centre. Three of the occupants are
killed instantly, and another loses a leg. I and my two colleagues help the
staff usher the patients to cover. A second shell hits the centre of the
village and injures 17 people. Every one is now under cover as three
more shells pass over the centre on their way to the next village, Tarcin.
Soon it will be the turn of Konjic.
We continue our work harassed at every step by those we have
learned to love and care for. In an hour or so, the patients return to the
play area, at least most of them do - some are too terrified to leave the
building. It will be many hours before they venture out. We manage to
get through the day without too many problems, and on leaving work,
paint from head to foot, we join in a game of football. After a shower
and change of clothing we make ourselves a meal from our own food
rations. By this time it is late in the evening. The sun is on the horizon
and it is a warm evening when the third shell of the day lands nearby,
showering the centre with shrapnel. Mercifully, no one is hurt. One of
the patients brings me a jagged piece of metal 12 inches long, half an inch
wide. I don't think anyone could have survived a hit by something so
- 11 -
vicious looking. More shells land, a few continue on their way to Tarcin.
It's almost time for bed. The day has been a good one for us - at least we
are still alive, and we have completed two more rooms. After a cup of
tea, we retire for the night and are soon asleep.
Tomorrow will be much like today. Some will die, some will
lose limbs, others will be injured, some will lose their homes. Benny
will want his shoes gluing together and so it goes on.
Bill Croker, BACO, and The Crescent
To: Mrs C.F. Leary, Clerk to Sandford-on-Thames Parish Council
27th November 1995
Dear Mrs Leary,
ALTERATIONS TO SERVICE 105
I am writing to inform you that the above service will be operated by
Reading Buses instead of the Oxford Bus Company from 27th
November 1995 restoring the through service between Oxford and
Reading. The timetable has been slightly modified and journeys are
operated commercially, i.e. without subsidy, with two exceptions:
(a) the Mondays to Fridays 0715 Wallingford to Oxford which will
be operated by Newbury Buses
(b) the Mondays to Saturdays 0645 Oxford to Wallingford
which will be operated by Tappins Coaches.
These services will be subsidised until 5/6 July 1996. I will be
contacting you shortly for your views on the long-term future of these
journeys. I enclose a copy of the new timetable for Service 105 and I
would appreciate any local publicity you can give to these changes.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries concerning
these arrangements.
Yours sincerely,
Jonathan Cowe, Assistant Public Transport Officer,
Department of Planning and Property Services,
County Hall, New Road, Oxford OX1 1SD

Stadium Mr Stevenson reported that the County is to take another
Look at the highway implications. The County can only object on

in the application.
Oxford Structure Plan 2011 Mr Stevenson said that the Plan had been
released for consultation. The Clerk confined that a copy had been
received.
- 16 -
Old Peoples' Homes Mr Stevenson reported that the County must
comply with new legislation be the year 1999/2000. This would cost
about £10m but that only £3m was available. The recommendation is
that homes are put in a Trust - a Trust would qualify for care allowance
and be able to borrow money on the open market. The alternative is to
sell off about 5 homes and this would almost certainly include Orchard
House.
District Councillor's Report. Apologies received.

Matters for consideration
Oxford United Proposed Stadium: The meeting was attended by Mr
Keith Cox and Mr Neil Boddington representing Oxford United
Football Club. The Chairman opened the meeting to the invited questions.
The main area of concern being the proposed slip road onto the
A4074 and the associated road works and traffic implications in the
parish. It was felt that the County and City Councils had not given this
enough consideration and had failed to keep the Parish Council informed
of their proposals. It was pointed out that there is a public footpath along
Kiln Lane which crosses the slip road adjacent to the Science Park
roundabout and that adequate provision should be made for pedestrians
using this footpath.
Mr Cox said that the New Stadium Team would like to form an
Informal Liaison Group and asked the Parish Council to nominate one or
two councillors to join the group.
Temple Farm - statement in support of application. Noted.
SODC - Government White Paper ("Our future homes - opportunity,
choice, responsibility'). Deferred.
OPS - Repairs Deferred.
Car Parking on verges. Note to residents requesting that they refrain
from parking on the grass. Chairman suggested that bollards would be a
possibility.
Village Hall - meeting between Parish Council and Village Hall
Management Committee. Mrs Hutton is to arrange a joint meeting.
Heyford Hill Lane - Status. From next general election Heyford Hill
Lane will fall with the District Council of South Oxfordshire. When the
boundaries changed it was included in the Civil Parish of Sandford on
Thames. The postal address therefore should be Sandford not Littlemore.
