LITTER! LITTER!
LITTER!
It has been noticeable in recent months that the
amount of litter in the village has greatly increased. It would be helpful if villagers could look
after the verges in front and to the side of their property so that East Coker
can become a 'litter-free zone'.

COKER WINE CIRCLE
Following
another highly successful wine festival held under the auspices of the East
Coker Flower Show, the wine circle members were treated to a fascinating
illustrated talk on tattoos and tattooing at their September meeting by Keith
Barnard-Jones, a retired GP from Portland.
Keith,
who made a hobby of studying the subject and collecting photographic images,
obtained most of his photographs from the inmates of HM Prison, Portland and
Borstal (now a Young Offenders Institution).
Many
were humorous; some obviously designed to shock, some to express their love of
a partner and others to make a statement against authority. Others were extremely artistic and members
were left wondering if the artists' talents could have been better placed
elsewhere. Keith explained that in many
cases those who had them were very proud to show them off. While tattoos could be removed the various
means of removing them would always leave a scar.
Several
members will be exhibiting at the South West Federation of Wine and Beer
Makers' annual festival at Woolacombe this month (October) and the Circle has
now joined the national association with a view to competing nationally.
Meetings
are held on the first Wednesday of the month from 8.00pm at the East Coker
Hall. New members welcome. For further information visit our web site www.ecokerwinecircle.eurobell.co.uk

PAVILION FUND
The
most recent event to boost the coffers of the Pavilion Fund was the Family
Cycle Ride, which took place in July.
Organised on behalf of the Pavilion Fund by East Coker Cockerels
Football Club, the cycle ride saw children and adults ride along routes varying
in length from 3 miles to 20 miles.
Cyclists then returned to the Pavilion to enjoy a barbeque cooked by
club coaches Aitor Martinez and Paul Morton.
In total the event raised £1,100 for the Pavilion Fund.
The
focus of the Committee will now turn to researching the funding for the
Pavilion project from the grant making bodies available. All interested parties will be most welcome
at the next committee meeting, which will be on Monday 10 October at the
Pavilion at 8.00pm.

Eurojam 2005
In
August two scouts and myself went to Eurojam which was staged at Chelmsford, Essex.
It was the biggest international Scout event to be held in the UK for 50 years. We
went with our leaders Gary and Kevin and camped with 10,000 other Scouts and Guides from 52 different countries.
We camped with a troop from North Carolina, USA, which livened things up a bit! We staged rugby and
football matches against other countries.
Amongst the activities we visited Girwell Park the home of Scouting in the UK, helped dig a pond for a local community project and
took the Americans into London so they could see the sights. It was
a thoroughly enjoyable experience and one we will never forget.

COCKERELS
East Coker Cockerels were delighted to round off a
marvellous year by receiving the Charter Standard Club Award 2005 at the
Somerset FAs presentation evening at Glastonbury in July. This award recognises the hard work,
dedication and training put in by the coaches and the committee, and the club
were immensely proud to accept it.
During the summer break, the club organised a very
successful family cycle ride in aid of the Pavilion committee. This event raised a staggering £1,100 and the
Cockerels would like to thank all the families who supported the cycle ride and
helped to make it so worthwhile.
Two new coaches, Aitor Martinez and Emma Trickey,
passed the Level One coaching course in August, bringing the total of qualified
coaches at the club to six.
The four Cockerels teams have now kicked off a new
season, with the U8 team sporting a new kit kindly sponsored by local business
MBA Resources. Good luck to all the
teams; have a successful and enjoyable season!

ATTENTION DOG
WALKERS!
Frequent visitors to the Playing Fields at Long
Furlong Lane will have noticed that there is now a half-sized football pitch
marked out there. This football pitch
has been created for use by youth football teams, as there are many children in
the village eager to play football.
Unfortunately, when a team turned up to use the
pitch recently, the officials had to move eight separate piles of dog mess from
the pitch before they could begin.
Could all dog walkers who use the recreation field
please ensure that they remove any deposit their dog may leave and either take
it home or place it in the bins provided.
The recreation field is provided for everyone to use, and if we all use
the facilities responsibly we should not hinder anyone elses enjoyment.

NOTES
FROM THE OBSERVATORY
Autumn Equinox 22 September 2005
Although
the warm dry days of summer lasted well into September, signs of autumn
appeared by mid-August. A few yellowing leaves showed up brightly among the
deep green summer foliage. Later in the
month a thin carpet of fallen leaves gave a hint of forthcoming winter. Nevertheless, summer has been a pleasantly
warm one this year. In July we had ten
consecutive days, (8th-17th), when the temperature rose above 21C (70F), with a
high of 27.1C (80.8F) on the 11th.
August
had eight days above 21C, the month ending with a thunderstorm on the afternoon
of the 31st. September continued the warm weather into the first half of the
month, after which nights became quite chilly as we approached the official
start of autumn. Rain fell on nine days
in June, 57.4mm.(2.26ins.); on ten days in July, 51.6mm.(2.03ins.) and on seven
days in August, 38.1mm. (1.5ins.). For
the half year to June 30 the total rainfall was 324.9mm.(12.79ins.).
I
was delighted to receive two reports of a sighting of Red Kites near the
village. Although these rare birds have
been part of the scene in mid-Wales for several years and more recently in
Oxfordshire, these local sightings are encouraging for the spread of the
species. In most years Green Woodpeckers
have visited my lawn in late August to feed on swarming ants. But this year ants in the garden have been
sparse and no woodpeckers have visited.
Perhaps the generally dry weather has limited ant numbers. A Magpie harassed a Sparrow-hawk feeding on a
Collared Dove which it had attacked in the garden and, to my surprise; the hawk
gave way to the magpie and flew off. A
single Nuthatch fed on my birdfeeder in July, recognised at first by the bird's
head-down stance on the feeder.
I
received a most interesting comment on the lack of Orange-tip butterflies in
the spring. My correspondent suggested
that the practice of keeping our village's roadside verges tidy by cutting the
caterpillars' food supply, (Ladies Smock or Cuckoo Flower, Cardamine pratensis), might have been the reason. Again, this summer has seen far fewer
butterflies. Only a single specimen of
Small Tortoiseshells has visited me and generally there have been very few
sightings of the usual Red Admirals and Peacocks. No migrant Painted Ladies have made the trip
from North Africa this summer.
Dragonflies
have been a welcome colourful sight over a small pool in the garden, although
they have been outnumbered by the smaller Damselflies this year.
Already,
misty mornings are showing up many spider webs on shrubs. Some of these webs are surprisingly strong.
The
inconspicuous flowers of the Ivy opened early this year, a welcome feeding
opportunity for autumn flies as colder days begin. A few fungi have already appeared, presenting
a problem in identification.
A
partial eclipse of the sun will be visible on the morning of October 3rd. This eclipse will begin at 7.45 am G.M.T and
reach maximum at 9.00am. The event will
be over by 10.15 am G.M.T. By mid
November, Mars will be well visible in the southern sky at bedtime. Later in the year, by mid December, Saturn
will appear in the south-eastern night sky.
Winter constellations, the Square of Pegasus and later, Orion, will
begin to shine in the southern sky.

SUPERMARKET MENTALITY
Do we now all have it? Is it too late to change our ways? How hard would it be? Or indeed, would it just take a small amount
of forethought?
But ultimately the one big question is do we care?
Do we care where the produce comes from and how
long it takes to get to the shelves? Do
we care how the producers are squeezed dry for the sake of profits? Do we care that every day at least one small
shop closes?
However, a village losing its shop is costly in
more ways than one. Firstly, it can
still be the centre of the local community, a place for meeting people. Secondly, the property values drop as the
village becomes less of a village and more just a group of houses ,and less
desirable to live in. Thirdly, it is
another victory for the supermarkets in their quest to remove all
opposition. And let's not forget those
who cant get anywhere and rely on the shop.
One of the only things that have survived from
becoming another supermarket aisle is, The Post Office. Surprising, maybe, but not if you realise
that there is not any money to be made from this quarter and therefore of
little or no interest at all to them. It
has been tried and maybe still is in some places, but the Post Office
transactions alone will not pay the wages of Post Office staff let alone make
the desired profit levels.
In this village we took steps to try and maintain a
Post Office within the village even though the Post Office trade locally has
declined due to lifestyles, pension changes and such things as the advent of
e-mail. We adjusted the hours to meet
the demand and yet make it as viable from a business point of view as
possible. We are now open from 8.00am
until 1.00pm on Monday to Friday and Monday afternoon. But does everybody really understand what can
be done at the village Post Office in terms of banking, foreign currency, bill
payments and of course postage?
The shop itself obviously cant match the
supermarket for volume, but is competitive in its own right with special offers
all of the time. Although how many
people actually really do know the true prices of things? More importantly, the quality issue comes
into play. Can you compare a loaf of
bread from our local baker with that from your local supermarket? that
depends whether or not you want preservatives in your Bread. What about milk? Does the milk in your fridge have sodium as
one of the nutritional elements? Should
tomatoes be red, round, hard, all the same size and well travelled?
especially in the height of the English growing season. Why would anybody want to buy runner beans
grown in Kenya or potatoes grown in Israel?
And so the list of questions goes on, without even starting on the
subject of meat.
So the next time that you need some milk, bread, a
bottle of wine or other bits and pieces dont think that you have to go to the
supermarket to get them. It will cost
you a lot more than you think by the time you come out with the rest of the
things that you didnt really want.
While we are on the subject also have a look at the prices that you are
paying and compare and then add your car expense costs.
So, please support your local shop, as the sad fact
is that if you dont use us you will lose us.

BUS SERVICES
212
Regular passengers on the
212 bus, which runs between Dorchester and Yeovil, and follows a delightfully
tortuous route serving villages on either side of the A37, were greatly
relieved when the bus continued to run on 5 September. This was the day the First Bus Company
withdrew its service, but by then the Sure-line Company from Portland
had agreed to take it over. This little
bright blue bus, slightly less roomy than its predecessor and with less luggage
space, operates a very similar timetable, with the same friendliness and
helpfulness. It is hoped that with
support from the Dorset and Somerset County Councils this service will prove
sufficiently commercially viable to be continued after the first trial months.
Timetables of the new 212 and 216 (Dorchester via
Sherborne) are available from the Yeovil Bus Station and from the East Coker
Post Office Stores and no doubt from similar stores in the villages through
which the service runs. The telephone number of the company is: 01305 823039.
N8
The other bus change in East Coker is the
replacement of the former 56 service between Lakefields in West Coker and
Yeovil by a new Nippy/ink bus, N8, which follows the same route and
approximately the same times as before.
The special feature of this service is that it is available, by prior
arrangement, to collect people from places not on its regular route. This arrangement has to be made by
telephoning the company beforehand, and the number is given on the timetable. People who have used this service speak very
highly of it. Residents at Burrells, for
instance, in West Coker, who used to have to hire an expensive taxi to take
them to the village Club on the A30, can now book the N8 to take them there at
a fraction of the cost. The idea behind
this service, which is supported by the Somerset County Council, is that no
resident in a rural area within a certain radius of Yeovil should be without
the possibility of public transport into town and home again.
Timetables, with explanations, are available from
the Bus Station and the village shops.
The telephone number is: 01935 423700.
